Maybe for big giant pulls you want the extra tankiness or like pull 1 AA you want to do it all in 1 pull and not site and you dont have aug
if you're dying you should have SW up
you dont need LS for that
you use bsv for that
on purpose
you pull them all and live through it with bsv while the first lasher dies
Agree dont need it. But it can help
idk, to me since LS happens only during your major CD, its value is really low
Id rather take the extra rage gen and bump up Indom for a tankiness floor
he wants your blessing
just give it to him
π
Whatever helps getting the key timed
anything under a 20 that picks it is overvaluing it
Wonder how these guys are taking tan and last stand
that is not a player
I feel like youd be better served by looking at the builds the top warriors are playing
rather then what the aggregate is
the player with those talents doesn't exist
Just look at raider io
Look if tan is 90% used and ls is 40% used that means that at least 30% of the time someone is using tan and ls same time.. right?
Look at sense look at bobas
yes look at their key level
this build is cursed
See what those guys are running for the 20s you're trying to run
"need rage gen talents for Indom!" "well I aint gonna run indom, so no rage talents!
"
a lot of you seem to not understand that by the time you hit 18s, you'll have a 30 ilvl bump over the people that first did 18s
so the talents they pick
are basically pointless
this is very true
I just look at recent runs
no last stand either
Hes also doing 21s

Why would you ever use fv instead of ea?
i think i will prioritize crit more heavily now
1% parry is more dr than 1% dr
way more
i like to play as chill as possible and not aim for max dps, and max dr did that for me all the time
i know all stats have defensive value
Gross wants to be parrygodx
Killed mythic dragons last night. Not that bad of a fight at all
Most of the voidspire fights are quite easy now
i played a def-rating turtle tank in bc and i was taking so little dmg it was great
that changed me
i know times have changed
i didnt
Well, at least dps won't pull off you with that mentality anymore
Our warrior tank did that and we went to enrage timers most fights π
TBC tanking is pretty miserable
Uh hyjal tier
i loved it, but i was 20
the gearing is somewhat fun trying to balance threat and defense
i also loved zul aman
but there is very little skill expression
Found sense wcl. Last stand with no ea and no tan. Isnt he like the worlds best war?
the og one
Im just waiting for Wrath to pick up my Anniversary Paladin again
except in shattered halls
tanking shattered halls as prot was a special experience
What key level is that run?
He's doing key levels that you will never hit
I played Paladin in TBC
Its a 21
first go around I played War, but it was miserable
Tbc prot pal is so much fun
Pal is much more fun
but SH is really not a tank dungeon; the only reason why you want Pal is cause mage is OP in TBC heroics
and only Paladin can maximize the potential
especially in SH
iirc a lot of warrior tanks lost aggro on the groups in sh
it doesnt matter
you jsut need to get initial threat, get em somewhat group
and let the mages blizzard
Why would sense doing a "push key" be any different than me doing a "push key"? In both cases we are taking more damage than we did on lower key level
Alright let's keep classic discussion on the classic channels
Saying his route is different?
The mobs in his run will kill him when playing good
The mobs in your run peoega will not kill you
Stop baiting, no you're not, you're several ilvls higher than they were when they did the same key
So is your entire group
Rat got Pepega'd
Because your damage intake is much lower because of the key difference. He needs to build defensive because the same attacks that will half your hp will outright kill him - you do not, and having those crutches will make learning what hits that hard take longer
My pwar is only 284 and that sense log is all 289s
when they did the same key level
Ohh yea when he was doing lower i can agree
And of course they'll take more damage on a key that's 5 times higher than yours at this exact point in time
But he has, lets say 20% better brian power
Okay thats a non factor
What's your toon pepega?
The way I look at it is below, what would I be missing
"sense did 21 with more defensive talents. Im going to try my 17 to get more io. I get that I'll be taking less damage bc its a lower level but using the defensive build helps cover for mistake I or my healer makes and it's not like we are missing dps, we are failing key if ppl die"
do you have a smart certificate? maybe you can ask sense for his and you guys can compare
pepega, nim literally said you can take that build
you just don't have to
sense HAD TO, because otherwise he would've died no matter his skill
now with higher gear the talents are not remotely as important to not dying
Makes sense. Ill import both builds so I can swap em
perfect, i'll get groceries now
and later i will get my crit pieces for the max crit build
erm parry

i did my first 17 FIVE WEEKS AGO at 274 ilvl with ONLY BSV
i am not even close to Sense god status
youre 281
Well i didnt do any pwar for 2 weeks I bet I would have done all 17s by now if I stuck with
or almost none
and youre looking to talent into a bunch of shit cause you think it has a bigger impact than a whole 7 ilvls worth of gear
not to mention your entire group will be high ilvl as well
quite frankly, you can prob run whatever talents in a 17
and be fine
thats a gameplay check key level
look at this shit
lol he picked 4/4 apex what a newb
Is that the tanky trink from sky?
guys the guides are poor, is there any reason to not stack your shield block uses right away and does the duration go beyond 24 seconds?
ok thanks does icy veins have stuff about more advanced aspects of tanking like cd use etc
thats a very broad question
and that pretty much
idk is there like a generalist tanking guide
i want to know if i always wanna blow a shield wall on an initial pull if im at 2 charges or wait
Kira, Naohw are big tank guys
using a Wall while gathering is a good idea
you should not hold walls, they have CDR with rage use due to Anger Management
manage rage correctly and youll have a wall every ~50 seconds
on pull/during gathers tanks are generally fairly vulnerable
Today on AA i wasn't really kiting on pull 1 and my stacks went to 0 a number of times. I didnt have aug and was with hpal. Do hpals have ability to remove or was I kiting without realizing?
and this is how you manage rage correctly: #protection message
lucky parrys
and also stuff like going through all the talents and what is worth some times picking over which other talents and this kind of thing
or maybe some good micro movements
use the talents recommended on icy veins
only if youre pushing high, we can help out with swaps
but we wouldn't recommend swapping anything for keys under 18s
yea, for just starting out
the IV build is perfect
the most important thing when first learning to tank is the gameplay
Idk even 19 felt pretty free, could have been cuz it was a MT

when I talk to my friends who are pushing into 21/22
they feel like 20 and below are quite free
with all the gear thats been given
Its probably cuz of the additional ilvl gain over the past weeks
yea, I level plus good game knowledge/gameplay
im learning so is tough as nails better than bs veteran or indom? i dont think it helps with me surviving when im still fumbling my buttons etc
For fun pugging 15 on my alt tanks was horrible
if you want to take BSV just to feel 'safe', id drop bloodsurge
Indom I wouldnt take; at your level, it prob wont help that much
BSV could enable bad habbits while learning tho
Taking BSV so you can play worse and still survive is no bueno
This is probably something I should already know but im gonna ask anyway. If you get tc reset right before your avatar becomes available should you spend your available tc and then cast avatar or just press avatar + dont get full value from tc refresh when going into avatar?
im like decently geared at 287 i just dont now what im doing and have no muscle memory, so my focus is on trying to do the route right and keep sb up. sometimes i screw up and it gets a bit hairy even in low keys. so im really looking for something that explains exactly this stuff like what talent is important for rage gen and shouldnt be dropped and what is a flex point and so on
true, but also a big deterrent for people playing tank is the fear of screwing up. Having a 'saftey net' give some comfort
You are doing it in the wrong order
You copy the icy veins build and start training
When you have played some time and start to understand the class flow u can start changing talents up
yeah ignore talents completely

Isn't that true for most aspects of life?
Should you use your available tb before pressing avatar or just press avatar as soon as available always?
fear of screwing up keeping you from stuff
getting to 287 and not knowing your routes/cd timings/sb uptime is like getting a job after lying about your credentials in the interview
you need to finish school first before you can worry about talents
2 stacks of TB > SS so you could assume that losing a stack of TB is worse then losing a SS
drop Focused Vigor for Battle-Scarred, and thats it, dont do indom
i play fury but thank you for the condescending reply, much appreciated
lol
i wasnt being condescending, its how you phrased it lmao
but grats on your spec swap
still need to put in time
if you do that BSV swap, you should log and make sure you understand whats triggering BSV to improve
this is very important
thank u
monitor the bsv debuff in your cdm
yes
so you see when you fucked up
are we still talking about this
or when you actually triggered it on purpose which is the best way of using it
no, we're helping a new guy pash
So if you have 2 tb and avatar available you should spend 2 gcds on tb before avatar. Thx 
Oh okay cool
No
Thats not what you asked
BIG POST APOLOGIES, but I did some research on this whole durability damage taken issue that Prot War seems to have the worst right now, which amounts to stupid high repair bills for no reason and I've done it over the course of a few MT +10 runs. BEFORE READING FURTHER: assume that this data has a lot of variables that aren't 100% consistent so if someone can do a better job than me feel free, but I'll post what I found out.
- So far my sample size is 4 because I wanted to do 2 approaches to figure out just wtf is making such a big difference and it's literally: How many times you press Shield Block.
Best and my worst example so far, there's obviously variables to this issue but I tested it in MT +10, same exact pulls (picked it because it's got a lot of mobs in clumps) and with 2 very similar clear times (diff was like 20 seconds). Funnily enough, in my worse example, our dps was -better-, which means stuff died faster, which means conclusions are even more extreme than what I noticed.
- The 66.67% durability loss at the end of the run was my fastest, in which I purposely kept Shield Block on cooldown (you're likely to do this in high keys anyway)
- The 81.67% was when I pressed it only twice, on accident, at the beginning of the dungeon, when there's a 5 mob pack pull, so in a perfect world, the numbers on this would be less. (higher percentage)
Funnily enough, the Shield Block procs you get from popping Shield Charge do not seem to have this durability bug (or feature) at all, so they are 'free' casts that don't come with a button gold cost (you don't see your durability live dropping midpull). Which according to these numbers in 30%~. Also, it seems to affect other pieces of gear as well, not just shield.
TL;DR - if you a broke boy, don't play Prot Warrior.
Its fixed in .7
"Should you use your available tb before pressing avatar or just press avatar as soon as available always?"
Sounds like you're saying always press avatar if available. To hell with whether you have any tbs available

Whatβs the tldr
fr didnt they just say theyre fixing weapon/shield durability so its not lost at all except on death?
Big post mean nothing
Big post irrelevant in .7
Man why do I even try to reason with pepega

apparently SC sb does not contribute to durability
thats the tl;dr
but this is such a non issue
Thank you both
Bro its a real question idk why can't get real answer π
straight from reddit, that apparently dont know every. single. season. we get people bitching about dura amounts
It's the warrior discord, you just get jaded sad people here unfortunately.
You you dont delay avatar for to long you can spend a TB charge
Choose to read it or not, I posted it because I wanted to share what I found out. dgaf if you consider it valid or not, someone might.
π€·ββοΈ
Yeach funny, in patch .7 its over anyways
I mean its cool to do the science but they also just announced in the .7 weapons and shields no longer take durability from combat 
"You sont delay avatar for to long you can spend a tb charge" - sounds like if you have 2 tbs and avatar then spend 1 on tb and then avatar. Got it ty 
π
This says avatar gives you 2x tbs so why would you only want to press it once before resetting?
jesus christ
spend TB to get more dmg on SS, and then to have chance to get TB again for more SS dmg again.
Are you really often in a situation where you wait like a hawk for avatar to be ready again so you press it RIGHT the moment it gets ready again?
just use tb and then throw avatar wtf
avatar of storm simply gives you 2 more to spend activating avatar
this is why i think pepega asks this because he has a combat botter
lmao
Oh while we're at it
does pressing avatar while avatar is up add your avatar to the existing avatar?
I have basically always pressed avatar as soon as available no matter what and today I noticed that I still had tb available when it got reset and thought "i wonder if that is correct"
Want me to link my 98 heroic parses again 
Dont delay avatar for to long is the only thing u need to know
you dont wanna min max avatar RNG proc
Anything below 99 parse in hc is mediocre at best
your TC/TB extends it, and thats good enough
ready to press it
I don't wanna min max it, just curious if it makes sense to hold avatar until the proc is done
no
If you wanted to do the best and most correct thing, would you use up your available tb procs before using avatar and getting 2 more?
Holding avatar bad i get but also munching tb casts is too so im really not sure. What 100% doesnt make sense yo me is only wanting to use 1 tb proc before avatar (if youre in a spot with 2 available and avatar at the same time)
you hold cds for only one reason: to align with other damage amps/buffs within a reasonable amount of time, which is single digit seconds at best -- on a very scripted encounter, you should know the timeline, and when to hold and send, this is not really a tank thing, its DPS 101. Use lorggs
Then go and learn how to write your own api (apl?)
Then you can check what is the right play
Say there are no damage amps or alignment considerations. You got lucky and have 2 tbs available right as avatar cd goes to 0. What actions you take?
Ffs
Apl (action prioriry list) api is an interface that lets computers talk to eat other
Well icy veins says avatar is your favorite and top ability which would mean that if its available then it should be touched regardless of your tb availability
Sounds good do that
if you want to math it out, it's not that hard
You have to compare the value lost from avatar uptime to the value gained by pressing available tbs
if you hold avatar for a global you lose all the benefits it gives you, add that up and compare it to the lost thunderblast surplus over another cast
And factor for rng procs if you press avatar right away and then get more procs
I hate to feed the attention but I dont think about half that shit
you do that
I won't
i'm a math teacher and i don't spend my time with that, i use apl's from icy veins
i'm also not 20 anymore and i know i will delay avatar simply because my reaction time isnt perfect
so using it in the exact right moment is not something i will ever achieve
You can just calculate those thing easy, you need to see the grand sheme if things, the esiest is to go and write an apl
ok im back
if youre sitting on 2 TB charges, youre doing something very wrong
and the hypothetical is so absurd that its really not worth considering
a global with flask is less than a second
Just use it in the next
it's way more important to not waste the avatar use when the group is about to die
for example
1 TB -> weave Avatar offgcd -> TB is totally fine
Ok fine. You just started your gcd and get a tb proc right as avatar becomes available. Wait for the gcd to end so you can use tb or avatar right away
2 TB is not a realistic scenario
that would be my first approach
tb highlights, press it, oh avatar is ready, press it
Yep
thats basically it
then press tb again
Well weave the ss in
ah you said that nvm
But yeah
not weaving ss in with 2 tb stacks from avatar
Im doing it every time
If you press your one tb and that itself procs a tb you dont wait for gcd and just send avatar
yeah because fuck it π
see what did you gain if the delay of avatar pushes the final avatar seconds into empty running
Why you repeating man
I thought with that it was done
Just getting it clear in my head. Its all done im clear on what is correct ty 

There's a very important rule intelligent people have to learn in life
Do not overthink it
It is hard i know
From a lot of bad experiences
do not do it
your focus on delaying avatar is 100% better spent elsewhere
that is not muscle memory so it preys off your concentration
perfection is the enemy of progress, and overthinking is a trait of perfectionism
Loud music helps
and as the great philosopher shia labeouf said
I like loud music
same
Yeah but not that focus music shit
samesies
i cant do shit with chill vibe music or w/e
i just blast the loudest and/or fastest shit into my ears and i get shit done
but i'm more of an autism guy and not an adhd guy
That's what I listen to
Yeah Iβm blasting Russian hardstyle when I raid
Deutscher krach
I watched all of My Hero Academia during Lura prog
Chefs kiss

yeah music like that is adhd gold
Isochronic tones is annoying af
Dafuq is my hero academia
japanese cartoon time
seinfeld-leaves.gif
at least crunchyroll doesnt give me 2 minutes of ads randomly
Every heard of adblockers?
i'm coming with you
I've had Maybe I'm The Reason by Dev Lemons stuck in my head for a few days
Miss me with that
Great lil song
my GF has the streaming services
still, the ads are rediculous

I listen music with ads
Is that why you missed those taunts? 
lmao
I would need to pay Spotify and SoundCloud to be ad free, not worth the amount
Just right in the drumline there goes 'how old is your dad? Tai chi will help him get into shape in two months'
90% of the ads is : « are you annoyed by having ads while you listen music ? Pay NOW »
ads have gotten so utterly utterly dumb
mostly wasnt keeping good track of it
They don't even make catchy jingles
once I got the meekaura working for it, it was easier
Most of the ads are the new piece of shit gamer chair

Might aswell just download the songs then
Itβs been some months since I got a real ad on SoundCloud or Spotify
When all that matters is posture anyways
Nope
i use a markus from ikea since 2005?
Very important
Lol
you guys really
I pay for spotify with no adds
I spend enough time in the car listening to music
didn't have a good time like that on a discord in a long time
100% worth
perfection
Lets start talking about the politics in germany
oh please no
I watched yt videos talking about afd.
From that info channel
What was its english name
well those are the people the tai chi ads are for
I donβt have access to student 5β¬ price anymore, 13β¬ is too much for my mental
Actually I think it was something mainstream like nbc https://youtu.be/s-uAGd2qcg0?si=ZA-y6aG08UgII7Jm
Germany's far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) won its first state election on Sunday and came a close second in another state. NBC News' Claudio Lavanga reports on what turned out to be a bad night for the ruling coalition government.

Im not gonna be part of that, will just go where the next best internet is
Literally everywhere
Its #protection so its not in the "skyhold" chat
i think even bangladesh has better internet

Its one thing to see a video about it but what do you euros think of it
We should rly not start this debate here
There are strong opinions on this matter everywhere and it can get heated real quick
pepega, on every discord there's mods that strike down any reasonable political debate really quickly, just don't
if you want to do that, do it on your own discord with friends you know can discuss objectively for the most part
Idk what nbc is
i had that happen on a lot of servers, in fear of things going a little heated, they just club it down

Nbc is a news channel I thought they were all over the world but I guess not. I dont know or think they have bias but maybe who knows. Ok I get not wanting to share your thoughts on it for reasons. Tbh I think there's usually a healthy balance somewhere in the middle but I have basically zero detailed knowledge on euro stuff
an extreme example was eve
you had russians on the eve server in a russian alliance and you had western alliances and when they went to war ingame oh boy
after 2021 it was over being non-political

We also had a ukrainian group ingame that would hunt all the russian players with a fury unmatched
Okok we have own national news, American news companies doesnβt exist here, and I have no big thoughts, I donβt vote, I play wow idc
Games with players from all over the world are never not political except for the people that close their eyes and yell 'it's just a game leave me alone with your real world problems'
you can still discuss in a civil manner it's just not accepted by discord mods
so again, don't do it
I mena you porbably could talk about history and what it has told us europeans
NBC is more specialized to an American audience; CNN would prob be the American news network with some global reach
you can talk about lots of stuff with decent people
even controverse stuff
i think there's nbc europe
But that's more gb tv
Regardless, I think the Western news network with the most global reach is prob the BBC
yeah agreed
Never heard of it
Britain big β°οΈ
I get my news from the BBC
I would agree
though I was also one of those kids who parents watched PBS as their primary news source
yea
I get my infos from select hand picked trustworthy idependanr reporters
From tiktok and other social media platforms
I know the name of CNN but itβs bc of the current president, never heard of it before
CNN is the big American network and it does have reach globally
French news mostly refers to New York Times or Washington post (I suppose they are news from those cities smh)
Newspaper
I've watched dw news i think thats the polish news network
DW is German
they dont run a news channel, but we have a lot of newspapers in the states
The New York Times is prob the most famous
next to the Wall Street Journal
DW is German public / international media
I only trust Facebook for news.
That's where all the world's scientists and scholars hang out
Alex Jones is my only news source
lmao
I do get some good news stuff from youtube
I donβt fully grasp what he did but I appreciate the character
The lizard people are watching so dont get to testy
Marcant
When I want news I open google news, thatβs it
what's the basis for into the fray vs heavy repercussions? i see that high rated players are running both talents
i feed the front page of reddit and the feed from twitter and a couple burner facebook accounts and sometimes youtube homepage into an AI and let it summarize the most accurate nonpartisan news
How much haste you have
^
How good you are
Haste value. Less than 1188 haste runs HR to get maximized SB uptime. ITF is more damage and value but harder to manage shield block uptime, mitigated with more raw haste
HR will give you near 100% SB uptime with very little thought. ITF is more damage, but you have to manage SB more closely
AI is my boomer thing
I have others like ordering food deliveries
I never ordered uber eats or DoorDash
Food delivery services are a scam
Yeah itβs mostly the price, i genuinely do not understand how people order so often
$10 delivery fee $4 transaction fee $3 convenience fee $7 tip $15 fck u fee. Its unbelievable
I can understand how people eat take out food so much
I eat for half a week with what I would spend on 1 order
the costs are insane
Take out I understand
even if you have good income, that extra money could go towards retirement or investments
I eat take out more than i should but i also walk everywhere i order from so like, its not as taxing in that regard
But when price does x4 just bc you donβt want to go grab it 
door dash started so cheap to hook people and then they just shrugged as the delivery charges skyrocketed
if there wasnt a mcdonalds within 6 minutes of walking i wouldnt eat there ever
also, the only take out I like is either chinese take out or pizza
and everyone knows you gotta get to the pizza place early so its as fresh as possible when you get home
I live in a village so Iβm kinda used to drive and wait my pizza in front of the restaurant, with all other ppl waiting too
https://youtu.be/_Zd4GrA7fpc?si=8n23tHyHHpwJfMW6
Here is a highly analysis and accurate description of food delivwry
good indian takeout is goated but kinda rare in most of america
I found a good spot
Theres a fantastic indian place also in walking distance, though i havent ordered anything to go from theme
I knew it was good when the first time I went there was a family of like 4 generations of indian people having a huge dinner
The local pizza place has indian pizzas too which is a fun combo i guess
and I was like 'yea, they know whats up'
Indian food (and all places) expensive af now. $22 for butter chicken with rice and no bread? Gtfo
If itβs a sit in restaurant, itβs fine price
I'm with pepega there i will say, so many places are absurdly expensive especially compared to pre-pandemic prices
inflation + gas prices contribute to that cost
For sure
Boston may have crap Pizza, but it does Asian food well
yeah i've been on a cooking quest to recreate british indian restaurant style curries partially so i don't have to deal with expensive + mediocre takeout near me
Yeah I donβt know what type of restaurant you are referring to so I might minimise price/quality here
"your 4 piece set bonus is now $40 happy meal" 
so many Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Indians in the Boston metro area
I want a good local bbq place, thats what my town is missing
Theres a Mission BBQ thats like a 10 minute drive and that shit aint worth it
theres a Texas style BBQ near where I work
it aint gonna knock your socks off, but the price point is very good
Thought it was illegal to have anything except for Irish bar in Boston
Yo I dont even eat this shit anymore but wtf McDonald's prices
Like they can literally go fuck themselves
Its a very Irish city, but there are a bunch of cultures
though, quite segregated (the city doesnt intermingle all that much in my experience and there are defined neighborhoods for each)
MissionBBq is shit
I mostly eat kebabs when I go for fast food
Where are you located roughly? Eu?
Im French / next to german border
Ok
When people say they go for kebabs I figure eu
We dont have many places here for that
I make my own
Yeah I know it didnβt reach the US yet
But not like in Europe
Soon
I hope its Greek
You dont want to pay $20 for your big Mac? Who wouldve thought
you gotta order off the Value menu
its the only option
its still way more expensive then it should be, but I can get a McChicken, some nuggies, fries and drink for $5
which, in 2026 prices, that aint bad
Thatβs what I used to order at McDonalds, multiple 5β¬ menus 
Now Iβm Burger King pilled
Tipping is bad and should go away. Change my mind
How much do you tip at McDonaldβs ?
Tipping is fine, tipping replacing income isnt
Tipping is a bad amercian habbit
Tipping is bad for customers
(I never gave a tip in a fast food)
If i like my waiter, i will tip them
nothing? there is no real human interaction at mc
but I know, at least in America, servers can make bank in tips
depending on where they work

I knew a girl who studied to be a nurse and was waitressing during school
In america the tip is basically the payment of the server
Ppl usually tip in French restaurants, but only sit in, regular restaurants
And not a % of the bill
I tip at rhe baker
To be fair nursing in america is kinda stupid
But tipping itself is fine
At the supermarket
So much education just for shit pay and shit hours and shit treatment
and no real career growth for most people
I tip usually to round the bill
Idk in california nurses make really good money, but ya shit hours etc
Dont want those pesky little pennys and shit
depends; my friends who became nurses have done quite well for themselves
but yea, they get treated like dogs their first years
RNAs/CNA's make bank everywhere
Maybe none of my nurse friends have matured past the point of basically being abused but they dont seem to be doing too hot
except the caribbean, for some reason
12.0.7 rest in fucking peace shield tax
360g per Lura pull for me
maybe it depends on where they got assigned
rip gold sink now the wow economy will be ruined i think
Man blizz fishing for some ez wins after the last 2 patches releasing buggy
Perhaps. I don't dig too deep or listen too closely to the details 
I just let em drink and vent


and the only reason I know that is when I approve apartment applications, I see all their contracts/pay stubs
If travel nurses is home nurse, itβs the same here

we have home nurses
Itβs not travel nurse ?
All I know is that instead of doing any of that i get to sit at home on discord while people yell at me about antivirus 
Travel nurses as in going where nurses are needed
travel nurses are nurses who work shorter contracts (like 6 months) at a hospital and then either negotiate another contract or move
Because everywhere is short on nurses
Nurse Contractors
what Cam said; fill in the gaps
Oh okok ofc, temporary works pays so much, whatever the field
I used to do factory temporary work
Travel nurses also may work for a agency that finds them their next gig
but theres always a pretty high demand
Got paid full month pay amount just for 2 weeks 
It depends, you either are : a client (as a worker) of that agency or you have a contract with them, if it works like here
And having a contract with temporary work agencies is a scam in France
yea, I dont know the specifics
but I do know is that their hourly pay is much higher
and less hours
I'm trying this pull macro :
charge/avatar/shield block
in this order, avatar is not cast.
if avatar/charge/shield block, both are cast
i don't understand why, since pressing charge doens't trigger the GCD on avatar
Yes, and you kinda work when you want to
and their contracts may even include housing/food on top of base pay
Itβs just pension / bank loans donβt like that
At least here, banks really likes when you have a permanent job
its prob the same as a travel nurse
many will do the travel nurse thing for a period of time when they are young
then find somewhere they like and settle down
and secure long term employment; by that point they prob have a specialty as well
Can you share the macro ?
bc I donβt understand what can be wrong without it
#show Charge
/cast Avatar
/cast Charge
/cast Shield Block
in that order it works
place charge first, and avatar is not cast
The short answer is dont use a macro like that
manually press charge then quickly avatar, it works
#show is = to #showtooltip ?
yes
when I'm about to make a big pull, it could save me some focus and bring my defenses up immediately - i don't see what's bad with it
Sry i'm a little late to the party
You're going to lose avatar uptime, as well as you might not have the rage for shield block which nullifies the whole purpose. Or you might charge and not want to hit avatar or SB
people buy takeout because they can't cook or don't have time to cook or don't have a wife to cook for them
We dont reccomend macro'ing things together as a prot warrior, aside from like throughput racials into avatar or whatever
I didn't say I was replacing my charge button with that
I removed my intervene bind
So you're just having a second bind to do what your binds already do?
i macro shield charge and charge together but i use it intelligently
I mean, you do you
I used it once with the sacrifice intervene dps talent, I died from it, never pressed intervene again
Sorry that i don't play at your level - on a big pull where I have to grab aggro on plenty of things in a pug, switch tartgets, leap, charge, well saving me the hassle of two presses vastly helps
If i'm close, it will use shield charge, if i'm far away it uses charge, if i press it fast, it will sc and charge which is great rage to start a fight
but i usually just press it once
in either situation
saves me a bind and works well
I bind my health pot to shift 9
and i can use sc as aoe dmg like it should be used
Interesting
charge one mob + heroic throw a mouseover at the same time, change target,, leap, charge, bring up defenses, TC, etc - tons of stuff to do, watch stupid trigger-happy DPS, interrupt casters, so many things to do in so few time
true, you'll get used to it though
Maybe you need to try slowing down
Its ok to spend a global or 2 per pack when gathering
I mean, its not so hard that you need to make extra binds to do what you can do anyways with the binds you have but, as for the sequence not working, some abilitites are just buggy with sequencing. Shadow priest Voidform is the same. Just dont sequence charge first if it doesnt work
^
underrated advice
You're not playing MDI, you can take a moment to breathe and focus while you gather
The extra 3 seconds it will take wont make or break that key
And if dps go apeshit, go again. They're a dime a dozen
and dps in pugs will just be happy the tank does what needs to be done
and doesnt drop dead
I exclusively pug - I have learned the hard way to rely on me, myself and I, on top of watching what others do or don't do
or get insulted because "aggro, dude, gee prot warriors suckz"
i mean if you pug as a dps you said fuck it i am not healing or tanking, someone else can do it
You forfeit any right to nag
just ignore them
Thats why u can gain aggro as you go, by spending a global or 2 per pack
^
and people flame
You'll lose aggro more panicking and trying to grab everything versus just slamming some globals into a pack on your way
We're so philosophical today
A TB and a Phalanx SB and you've locked a pack on you
That's actually wise
Especially with claps insane range
just clap
Do you have an example of a pull where you feel rushed?
Let's see
First of Windrunner?
1s pull of WS
1st of nexus point you can chill out few sec before grabbing the rest
or any pull with twin adepts in there
Those first pulls tend to be stressful because you do big and lust, but again slowing it down a touch and giving yourself room to gather really helps
ah, yes, i forgot "place a skull on the priority target" as something to do
That's not that important early on
Proper dps need to know
That's their job
not yours
back to the original issue with pugs π
A top notch trink for aggro is healing pot
I dont think its a bad idea to do things like that
and when there are two identical casters, it's better to show everyone the correct one to nuke
Yeah if itβs not kick markers, not rly important, but not terrible idea tbf
correct
Comms before key starts of expectations or strats goes a long way
WRS for example, mark as you run into room, charge the right side. SC/SB, Avatar, TB, Shield Slam, Charge the other side. TB, SS. Shield Wall, Shockwave, Wrecking Throw a loose caster. Breathe
you can also use your mass taunt on big pulls
Good dps will give you time to gather, or just do set-up while you do
it will be ready again for the next situation
Say beforehand "let me gather first"
i sure do, when there's no mass interrupt to perform
Agree. Places should charge what they need and also pay their ppl instead of this bs where you need to figure out how much to pay

Topicx posts a lot of good war stuff
good to watch how he does the pulls π
Pre healing pot is a gamw changer
yeah i watch his videos a lot
skyreach your positioning matters a lot imo
he even has one with how to set up each 1st pull
you can show the raven your back while you gather and then turn around while you grab it
Put on some glorpy basslines and feel the beat while you do M+
a good amount of getting these pulls down is just practice
Good dps should focus what you charged/attacked first
the more you do it, the more comfortable you get
also, if mobs could stop trying to slowly crawl into my back !!
Practice is huge yeah
last season It took a while for me to get the first pull in that Spider dungeon
Backpedal in circles
I hated that pull sooooo much
Well I do feel more and more comfortable with it
I still hate first pull of Ara
to keep them at arm's length
I always split that fuckass pull
After all, i'm working on 17s, it's not +5s
I mean I am practising a lot π
Good! And you're coming here for advice which puts you above most haha
Enemies trying to align in front of you is the worst thing they added in bfa or sl
But as you get into higher keys, things come down less to your specific button presses and macros, and more on your comfort level with the game, your class, and the dungeon itself
As well as the team you have with you
You'll get there :)
If you have tb and avatae available you should press tb first if your not on gcd. Thats something not in guide that ks the correct thing
Your'e welcome
Tb = aggro = you never have enough early on
The key for the first big pull of any dungeon is pre healing pot
The one that heals over time
Then as you rzn throught the pack you get heal aggro from the healing of the pot
Tjat gets multiplied by your tank modifier

Sorry couldnβt find that bullet point with the new site layout 
Realistically in APL it doesn't matter. The difference between sending TB before Avatar or munching a proc was not existent.
Ohh Im wrong. If ylu keep getting tb procs shouls you keep using them until they run out before pressing avatar?
Swear nim said that you should you tb and even if you get it again still use avatar
I'd send one TB max and then Avatar.
Omg
Mwahi are you saying pepega had this discussion with us when it was RIGHT THERE in your guide?
This is why I miss that pulsing aoe potion
That thing was goated
But as I said,the difference is within margin of error.
But doesnt that thing sat "use all your tb procs"? Sounds like it doesnt really matter since it does the same damage either way
Its better then that
You can use the healing potion and a combar potion
no it says try to use them, it doesn't say it is paramount
but mwahi, what if i super duper high roll on a tuesday while wearing a top hat?
"There is no try, there is only do" the green yoda from the movies
Tbh,most people don't READ the guide. They just copy paste talents and check lists..if it's s block of text it gets skipped more often than not.
some people don't even copy the talents right, either
or use 1/4 accidentially
Something I have to post too many times bc ppl donβt read
People also take guides as a "DO THIS OR YOUR INCORRECT" while they are meant mostly for new/not so experienced players as the target audience first and foremost.
As long as it works and you achieve whatever your goal is, that should be all people need/want
People are largely incapable of processing things on a spectrum, it either is or it is not. The box is checked or you are trash and should accept your fate as such
Missed a spell reflect? TRASH delete your character
I munched a tb with avatar and then was thinking about weather it was wrong the rest if the key
It's why I've never personally fussed that much over minor talent picks as much as people doing things like actively trying to avoid shield wall or something; there's a lot of context, player ability, and just really not that meaningful of a difference on things that make a lot of stuff just be like "aight cool"
Thereβs also something called the serial-position effect which says theyβll only remember the first and last things they read
I like cereals
Wrong type of cereal
Frosted Flakes, theyβre grrrrreat
so you hate waffles
Everyone knows the best cereal is oops all berries
Does serial and cereal actually sound the exact same ?
In English they do yes
Wisdom of the masses the best talents from aggregation sites? I guess thats not a hard and fast rule
in murkika, 100%
they are not in general, it got worse
way worse
it was better once, at least here
Wait how else would you pronounce cereal and or serial
that's what a shit education system will do
wisdom of the masses isn't for things with a determinable end result that can be wrong
βSeer-ee-allβ
Okok thx, I get some of the English wordplays but Iβm always not sure
Sea-ree-awl
what in the southern drawl
South as Louisiana ?
Cereal
I am from the eastern shore of Maryland so I have all kinds of really wild affectations when I speak normally
Really throws my employees when I slip out of corporate voice

Nc has the some of the thicest southern word pronouncations
North canada (nc)
Creole is its own thing
I understand the words but canβt understand them half the time
Espec if theyβre talking to each other
No idea
I had a whole team of creole folks
Itβs like Caribbean French creole, it can be very hard
They were the bomb
If 2 ppl are talking mandrine to each other I can understand wtf they saying
Used to bring me this creole rice
Iβm trying to learn Japanese itβs going poorly, I think 4-5 Langs may be the limit
The English accent Iβm the most confused with : Australian
The song down under, I donβt understand most of the lyrics
its just an english accent but youre also squinting while looking up at the sun
Like I couldnβt even know what words are used
what a bop
i just cant survive the skyreach first pull in +20
Are you going all the way to the boss platform?
If you link a log we can look, that shouldnβt be a difficult pull
Not if youβre not pulling up the stairs
the more things change the more they stay the same
before i came to this discord i moved, and woman bugs boomer for ciggarette every single day, fights and yelling about it daily
boomer dies
new boomer neighbour
SAME shit
times change ppl dont lol
https://youtube.com/shorts/9yIDTQhp0LM?si=gT4J_mlLqoC1KpVw s tier tier list
good watch
Can we get a tier list ranking all of the tier lists
How do I know which tier list is best if I donβt have a tier list to tell me
Ok deleting that one itβs way too seizure inducing
he just kept talking and talking in one incredibly long unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so no-one had a chance to interupt him, quite hypnotic
the original series may have been objectively better show, but damn this was a good one
the way there can still be people who don't know the last boss of PoS
and it was a 12....
we would've timed if they didn't mess up the mechanic, but alas
it's me, i don't know last boss
i don't even know why you're dungeoning on sales software
I just prefer PoS over calling it Pit
oh pit of saron
i just haven't played this expac at all
so i literally did not even know ehat dungeon it was
it still stands that yeah i don'y know that mech, i ain't really seen this new version
Donβt worry
There are no mechs
So youβre safe
It's not bad boss, but dps can't handle having responsibility
"I didn't see the glowing pile"
first pit bonus roll
garfrost crit hammer
too bad can't use that for parrygod build
I got the neck which yay
I'm scared to roll more cause I have so many of the slots already
aand chest -.-
see you next week
i only have helmet neck shoulders and belt left
All good pieces
i agree need a tier list of all the tier list tier lists
im having issues taking the slam star slam on dragons in voidspire. does spell reflect work on the damage? idf asusume that would probably save me
the "star slam" on dragons?
what do you mean
slam star slam
what do you mean...
that can be reflected??!
yes
that would be ideal
new to me lol
Im looking for an addon that might not even exist but I wonder if anyone can help. Is there an addon where you can like record notes about characters you played with in keys? Specifically something that integrates with the group finder and puts like an asterisk or some other type of notification by their name in the group finder when they apply to your keys?
remindme or something like that
Friendly reminder to go gym
or do you mean a black list?
Down 42.5 pounds as of last Saturday 
good shit ghash, my bulk is going well too
No, I just want to be able to make notes about good players ive grouped with and be able to easily notice them when they apply in group finder, without having to add them on bnet
Exactly
i cant remember the name
Like you know how the little thing shows up beside their name if theyre a guildie or a bnet friend, I want something that makes a thing show up like that if I have made a note in the addon that they are a good player
One called Character Notes seems to be the closest I can find but Im not seeing the group finder integration, its just a notes app as far as I can tell
this i the remember one i was talking about
Thats exactly what Im looking for, cheers!
HUUUUGE
or the opposite of huge
i know roidburg
SMOL

I found one out in the wild!
ive done keys with KSP and pug raids with Scott
and with (if youre a XIV player) arthars
in WoW
in the past
so they def go around and pug and shit
I dont think ive run into many big people myself
also done keys and hard modes with Cam, Rhino, Guilford, Pash, Griff, Late, bullfango too
very cool people, S-tier
Like ive seen people like dratnos and jundies outside of raids and dungeons but never played with anybody
and lets not forget Ghash

All S tier
And ghash
