#

guys do we have a list of spells that can be spell reflect or blocked?

timid jay
#

In pins

#

THeres a spreadsheet

tribal shale
#

oh ty

#

do we have for mythic+ aswell?

undone sun
#

Same spreadsheet

#

At the bottom there are tabs for the dungeons

tribal shale

oh ty

#

i'm dumb

gaunt dawn
#

@junior ivy if you ask gear related questions, the answer is usually going to be to simulate it, which was then followed by a guide/demonstration on how to sim

wait wtf

#

domatrax chaotic energy can be reflected

timid jay
#

Yup, does shitloads of damage and yiu dont waste a charge of the shield

tribal shale
#

lmao

#

does the spell reflect dmg actually goes into meters?

#

cause i never really seen it

timid jay
#

No it doesnt, but it reflects the full damage

#

Its a lot on higher keys

granite pelican
#

Were there any spicy prot changes in 8.0.1 ptr?

warm plinth
#

Not sure about PTR but a lot of the data mined stuff doesn't look great.

#

To me

granite pelican
#

What was it

#

That looked bad

timid jay
#

The big thing is a rework of Ip and SB

#

Could find it on wowhead under class changes

granite pelican
#

Oh wow

#

That's a pretty hefty change

honest mantle
#

Still way too soon to say anything

#

They will bring all tanks kinda together, like they did in legion, all tanks are capable to tank pretty much anything

tribal shale
#

i like every tank being capable of tanking anything

#

as long as they have distinct utilities

#

bears having bears and raid mov speed is dumb imo

junior ivy
#

just did lower kara 15. it was 2 mins over timer

#

not too bad

warm plinth
#

Yeah I don't really care about the changes. Been through every expansion so far and classes change significantly in almost every one of them, so nothing new.

#

I'll adapt and/or have new favorite specs next expansion.

round vortex
#

I play 3 classes only and 3 specs. Prot Warrior, Fire Mage, Resto Druid (Although pretty up there for other mage specs and lolbearform).

But I'll always play Prot warrior + fire mage regardless of how powerful / weak blizzard makes them.

In reality - every class and every spec will have a use somewhere.

warm plinth
#

I have 10 110s currently, and more on the way. I play 5 or 6 regularly, with my focus being on two of them (rest do an M+ each week and that's about it). I'm not saying any spec is not viable or anything like that. But there have been substantial changes to specs in past expansions that just made the spec not fun for me anymore, so I stopped playing it regularly.

not like.. 24s

There is no such thing as a "cutoff" for pugs

You just need to have a higher score than the leader, by about 500

Gonna be hard if you're the leader

7th warrior tank on my realm has no recorded BRH at all

dapper marlin
#

With 4set what's better for DPS, heavy reprecussions or anger management

honest mantle
#

AM

#

always

warm plinth
#

Anger Management, no matter what

dapper marlin
#

Thought so, thanks

#

I was thinking of trying HR

undone sun
#

thought wrong

warm plinth
#

No real reason for it. You don't need more SB uptime for anything. And you lose damage.

#

And you lose CDs

dapper marlin
#

Before I fought Kruul I used ravager

#

for the DPS

#

:(

honest mantle
#

LUL

warm plinth
#

Oh lawd

steel mauve
#

That hurts my heax

dapper marlin
#

Ravager is a huge noob trap

steel mauve
#

Head*

dapper marlin
#

It looks perfect for DPS

warm plinth
#

It's actually annoying how incredibly bad that talent is.

dapper marlin
#

You'd think it's the best DPS talent, right?

steel mauve
#

I liked it in wod, that extra parry was tasty

#

But damn its bad now

lament tulip
undone sun
#

decent offensively

warm plinth
#

It's decent, but I am obliged to say it sucks because it's proc-based.

#

And I hate proc-based trinkets.

dapper marlin
#

I have a 950 versatility stat stick

warm plinth
#

I'm actually using that exact trinket right now @lament tulip Same ilevel and everything

dapper marlin
#

someone told me it was good for fury too

lament tulip
#

coolio, thanks boys

junior ivy
#

how do you avoid everyone dying on first boss of brh?

#

it looked like we killed all the thingies

warm plinth
#

What level?

undone sun
#

have to use personals

honest mantle
#

personals

junior ivy
#

+16

#

i lived, healer lived

#

dps all died

honest mantle
#

and intercept the dps

#

with talent

warm plinth
#

Yeah, squishier people will probably need personals, though I imagine that you probably didn't kill them all.

junior ivy
#

me and healer were doing fine got him to like 8% then healer left. ugh

warm plinth
#

16 seems low for decent geared folks to be getting 1-shot with no spirits left

junior ivy
#

maybe we left some

warm plinth
#

No reason not to use personals for it though; once he does that, the fight is over

#

He never casts it again; just does the swirling shit and the reap souls cleave, which are all avoidable

junior ivy
#

i dunno why healer left ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

warm plinth
#

Some people just have minimal patience. ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

junior ivy
#

that run would amade me #1 prot warrior on my realm

warm plinth
#

I did a 13 tyrannical last week and we had people dying on every boss. Healer died to first shadow volley 3x in a row (one was a reincarn death lol) on last boss; I ended up having to solo the boss from 67% on my blood DK because no one could stay alive long enough to help me kill it.

#

13 minute fight

timid jay
#

Last boss is pretty nasty on tyrannical

#

Really sucks if people don't have cd's for the first volley

sick sentinel
#

what ilvl should I have for mythic antorus

undone sun
#

considering heroic starts dropping 945, around that

glass kernel
#

any has pointers for me? i will likely need to be on escort duty on varimathras today so given i wont be effectively hitting the boss alot ill run indomitable style build?

shut summit
#

not needed

#

so many CDs to rotate thru

undone sun
#

and only SR is needed if you're third tank

#

the dps build is recommended for that job, nothing special to it

#

and even if you were main tanking indom still isn't needed

glass kernel
#

Nice because i would not be comfortable with that anymore ๐Ÿ˜„

#

And i feel like a total dweep now but whats SR?

undone sun
#

spell reflect

glass kernel
#

pants will be a strong option then?

sick sentinel
#

is Heavy Repercussions better on imonar

undone sun
#

there's no fight where HR overpowers AM

honest mantle
#

Unless you solotank Varimathras ;p

unborn island
#

@undone sun thyme was surprised by how few on mine. Guess people just really don't rate prot warr

#

The scores drop very swiftly thereafter

#

I'm in top 5 for warriors. But 102 all tanks :(

sick sentinel
#

Hi guys what do U think of ignore pain CD in BFA ?

flat kelp
sick sentinel
#

Does it means that even if we try no 100% AM or IP all the time smell bad no ?

fallow knot
#

oh man the IP CD in BFA makes it literally unplayable. I've already proactively canceled my sub because it wont change before live. for sure

grave grove
#

read the pins

warm plinth
fallow knot
#

I was mostly kidding because at this point its kind of meh to bother looking too far into it

#

sorry

grave grove
#

just making sure vel

unborn island
#

Anyone here solo tanked aggramar? (I'm pretty sure @ember arrow ) said he had? If so, how did your raid survive the stacked adds? Or did you just get a druid to go bear form and off tank one while you blew up the other?

fallow knot
#

I'd like to think he just grew massive cajones and made his healers work overtime and tanked both on top of each other. that would be amazing

topaz sparrow
#

Im not sure I get why you would want to solo tank aggramar

unborn island
#

Because you can?

#

I tried it last night for the lolz, was absolutely fine until the adds Blew everyone up, managed to just about survive first adds then wiped on 2nd

#

Was also wondering if solotanking normal hounds might be possible

#

I reckon worldbreaker might be, as there's a spot just off to the side where the barrage knocks you in the air without moving you, but never tried

fallow knot
#

I brought that idea up with one of my healers just two nights ago. I think we're going to try it with me on my DK, and then 2 healers and 7 DPS. I think it would be fun, might be more plausible on my warrior though

#

do you happen to have a clip of some sort for that worldbreaker spot? I've heard this a few times but can't seem to find any videos of it and everytime I try it I just get fudged up

unborn island
#

I figure if you can stack the dogs on heroic, then it might be possible to solotank on NM - provided your healers spam you

#

I don't - it's about 5 yards to the left of the boss, there's a little sort of gap in the wall, wedge yourself in there

#

and use a CD ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

fallow knot
#

well yeah obviously haha

#

bracers + 4pc & 2pc combo, inspiring presence would probably keep you mostly smoothed out with the healers being able to throw quick heals if you solo tanked normal doggies.

#

I wonder if IP would be more useful in that situation or if BDK's consumption (I'm pretty sure vampiric aura only applies to 5 people total though so probably not useful)

#

inspiring presence, not ignore pain

unborn island
#

I wanted to just try it with 2p, belt and gloves, and offensive trinkets, YOLO it

#

even though I can't see that increasing my DPS significantly vs stacking them

coral wolf
#

aaaand the first lego i get on my alliance warrior isssss timeless strategem fuck sake

fallow knot
#

I love strategem ๐Ÿ˜ฆ being a gnome I bounce around like a tick as my healer says

#

its a fun legendary when you dont have any other options

coral wolf
#

its fun but id rather litterally any other one haha

fallow knot
#

I feel that

junior igloo
#

Used shoulders on half of the mythic bosses

fallow knot
#

was one of them immonar? that would be fun leaping across the bridge

junior igloo
#

Yeah

#

Also Eonar and Hasabel because I'm moving one of the debuffs

honest mantle
#

Varimathras normal MADE me change from my monk to my warrior -.-

sturdy condor
#

Anyone tried solotanking vari normal?

#

i wanna try 0healing it with 1 tank, but not sure if i can stay alive long enough

obsidian siren
#

Hey people, i need your wise counsel

#

What boss would you go on after the Hounds?

#

Eonar? Or just as usual AHC > Hasa > Eonar?

unborn island
#

@sturdy condor I tried

#

Didn't go well because of the dmg debuff which comes with misery

#

Reckon it is doable though,especially with 100% mastery build

green canopy
#

Question: how does a prot warrior "cheese" mythic Varimathras?

honest mantle
#

Even with 100% mastery build there is the problem of SB downtime

#

Even with HR

distant pier
#

Final phase of Argus, how do you all manage to stay alive as long as possible. I think my max was 7 or 8 stacks

#

Heroic

zealous sleet
#

send help, i've to tank imonar M tonight

#

what the fuck am I supposed to fear ?

#

i'm 950 btw, good gracious lord

honest mantle
#

@distant pier Memes, lots and lots of memes

#

Here is something to analyze for you, maybe you can find out how I did it ๐Ÿ˜‰

arctic sedge
#

My max on HC Argus was 12 stacks.

#

I don't know how.

fair ingot
#

Cuz crit blocks.

arctic sedge
#

Must be why, yeah.

honest mantle
#

Yep

#

I don't have 20800 mastery plus tier 19 2p for no reason ;p

fair ingot
#

:D

arctic sedge
#

53% Mastery with 2 piece of the newest tier.

#

Mastery determines the crit block chance, right?

honest mantle
#

Yep

#

With 20800 with 2p t19 or 23000 without old tier, you are essentially a monk tank without the need to purify

leaden yarrow
#

12 le 13 stacks Max too. Keeping hard CD as much as possible, and a clean rotation with external etc ...
crit block helps a lot

honest mantle
#

(As long as it is blockable and you have SB up)

leaden yarrow
#

What was T19 buff ? Dont remember ^^

honest mantle
#

+10% chance to crit block

leaden yarrow
#

Oh yes ! ^^

fair ingot
#

Op op

honest mantle
#

Oh, and in the log I posted, it wasn't even the Scythe that killed me

leaden yarrow
#

2P 4P for me, with big HP Pull. And 12 13 stacks. I think itโ€™s not that bad ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

fair ingot
#

It's not. But for the love of God, just imagine having 100% chance to block 80% dmg of incoming hit :3

honest mantle
#

80%? 88%!

fair ingot
#

Ohh, I forgot about artifact :D

leaden yarrow
#

How Many stacks with T19? (Cant open thรฉ logs atm)

honest mantle
#

15 stacks, and the scythe didnt kill me

#

I had a dot from the falling debris, that killed me

leaden yarrow
#

That s a huge amount. Like 15x 250% damage ?

fair ingot
#

So yeah, basically you are fucking Steam train.

leaden yarrow
#

War prot are playing T19 on MM ?

honest mantle
#

This setup is only usable for VERY specific scenarios

#

I am thinking about maybe using it for high command mythic, and I am pretty sure I am going to need it for argus mythic, if I ever get there

fair ingot
#

Bro, that will be op at high m+ where is shit tons of hard mele-hitting mobs.

honest mantle
#

But melees are not the things killing me

#

You sacrifice incredible amounts of other stats and other goodies, like trinkets you would be a fool to use it for anything other than specific block only fights

fair ingot
#

I'm thinking about wearing braces + legs for m+ bosses

limpid locust
#

Guys how should I think about gear when it comes to casual tanking HC raid? Should I go for 4set of T20 + 2 set T21 and have like 7 mill HP or go for 2 set T21 and higher ilvl on rest and have like 8 million?

fair ingot
#

Ip is your actually hp

limpid locust
#

lp?

fair ingot
#

Ignore pain

honest mantle
#

Ignore Pain

limpid locust
#

Oh

#

Well what do you think I should wear?

fair ingot
#

4p+2p

#

Buuut it depends at whats's the ilv difference

honest mantle
#

Sometimes if you just have to deal with really high bursts, you should consider using a high EHP setup

limpid locust
#

Like 10 equipped difference

#

Also I have no tank leggys so using the movment boots + Sephuz

#

Any easy way to send all my items to get some help with what to equip? xD

fair ingot
#

Change spec.

#

Jk, just prtscr it here

limpid locust
#

There is my items

#

Have to much shit xD

#

@fair ingot

fair ingot
#

Nahh, i would go for 4+2

unborn island
#

I wouldn't use 4+2 on heroic these days, but that's just me, I just use 2p T20 + high ilvl stuff. Depends on your healers etc though I guess

limpid locust
#

Okey, well what other gear would you use then? Should I run Sephuz + Boots or some other leggys?

unborn island
#

*2p T21

limpid locust
#

Also trinkets and ring?

fair ingot
#

No idea how yours stats look like

unborn island
#

hard to say as you have no prot leggos

sturdy condor
#

But @unborn island Well, with 1/0/9 setup on normal vari, you only have to stay alive for a certain amount of time, i reckon 1m 20 seconds. Can shuffle trinkets+cooldowns when you have SB downtime, and then you have to live on having enough rage to get up IP enough i suppose. the DTPS is around 650k-750k. So you have to cover that with ignore pain, given you dont take healing. So prydaz + gloves only got gloves as prot leggie) would be my legendaries

#

Late reply to your @, i just was watching lucifer

unborn island
#

hmmm, that's interesting

#

i guess it would work if your dps is good enough

sturdy condor
#

Gonna be running 3x enhance for rainfall, so we dont need healers

#

They can keep up firedebuff dmg

#

500k hps from each rainfall

unborn island
#

is Inspiring presence enough to keep up?

#

ah fair

sturdy condor
#

You can try to tank it if you want, my enhance is better geared than my warrior. if you want it ๐Ÿ˜›

#

Actually both are 972 xd

unborn island
#

IDK how much damage the aura actually does, but if everyone is doing 2m dps it would need to be >60k DPS to kill anyone ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

sturdy condor
#

But i've just been curious, ever since i started tanking on my warr, if its doable

unborn island
#

I am convinced it's solo tankable

#

ever since during a wipe on heroic i survived a long time with no healer

sturdy condor
#

All dps are gonna end fight at around 2.7-2.8 most prob, easy rank1s

unborn island
#

yeah, that should be enough to stay alive ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

sturdy condor
#

Then we probably only need 1 enhance then

unborn island
#

I guess you also get what, 75% hero uptime too

sturdy condor
#

as 3 enhance is 1.2-1.3m hps overall, if people take constant damage

#

Nah, 50% prob, its gonna be longer than 1 min

unborn island
#

mmm, guess you'd need the enhance to heal the tank in the time when misery is down

#

it's probably possible, if you get a group happy to try it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

sturdy condor
#

You get misery downtime?

#

I thought you had misery whole fights, and had to rely on ignore pain

unborn island
#

I think it comes off shortly before the next swipe

#

like 2/3 seconds

honest mantle
#

On normal you can stand in the group

#

So you have downtime

unborn island
#

you don't even need to, just stand in the boss so ppl within 8 yards ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

sturdy condor
#

Lmao, then its eeeeasy

honest mantle
#

If you stand inside the boss you get the orb

sturdy condor
#

I thought you had to survive with misery whole fight

honest mantle
#

I tried it on heroic

sturdy condor
#

What orb?

unborn island
#

the circle

sturdy condor
#

Fissure?

honest mantle
#

The arrow thingy

sturdy condor
#

Just move?

#

ah, marked prey

honest mantle
#

Yea that thing

unborn island
#

I don't have DPS who could manage that kind of output

#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

sturdy condor
#

i have some loghorny guys in my guild who are probably up for it

unborn island
#

I also have less gear than your warrior, i'm a meagre 968

honest mantle
#

I AM a loghorny guy who is up for it

#

973 tank

unborn island
#

but would love to improve my rank 7 on nm vari ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

sturdy condor
#

Going to the gym now, but i'll gather 9 dps after and we can give it a go, my normal log for vari is 2.2, but my hc is 2.6, weird. Need a phat r1

#

2.75m is r1 enhance, that we can beat. And youll probably get r1 as tank aswell

honest mantle
#

But since there are no healers and you have to take all misery melees, bracers are pretty much mandatory, so I guess no r1 prot warrior

sturdy condor
#

Is it though

#

Ignore pain keeps you alive enough for rainfall from enhance to heal you?

honest mantle
#

Dunno

sturdy condor
#

if i run 3x enhance, it will be around 500k hps on the tank, + your inspiring presence at a 2m dps is 40k more, should be fine. Run a shadowpriest aswell in s2m

#

s2m + their healing ability in "oh shit" moment

unborn island
#

no IP on the tank I guess, but yeah

sturdy condor
#

And remember the fight will be shoooort

honest mantle
#

one spriest with s2m? how about 6?

sturdy condor
#

Can do, can do

#

IF we build insanity on pack before, as fight might be too short even

#

Only got 2x 970+ sp in guild, ill bring both

honest mantle
#

To be fair, I need to sleep every once in a while, so not in the next few hours for me ^^

sick sentinel
#

I have read the pins and im still not sure what trinkets I should use

unborn island
#

What trinkets do you have, and what do content are you running?

sick sentinel
#

I have the archimonds and aggramars and im doing raids

#

wich ones should I get

#

darkmoon deck?

#

diimas?

unborn island
#

You mean leggos or trinkets? Are they your only 2 legendaries? Which level of raids? Normal? Mythic?

#

Darkmoon deck is really good, and yes you should get it

#

Diima's also very good

#

I have DmD but I don't use anymore as I don't do any content where me dying is an issue if I play correctly

sick sentinel
#

I mean trinkets

#

the aggramar tank trinket

flat kelp
#

@green canopy : Play with legs and gloves, use 2 SB after each taunt, stack IPs, SR each debuff, you'll never get under 90% hp. I killed him yesterday for the first time, i played with Chrono Shard since i didnt lose HPs...

@distant pier : I went to 14 or 15 stacks before next one killed me. You can handle 5-6th first with only SB (depends on your ilvl, 971 eq atm), 7th NF, 8th LS, 9th you're still under LS, 10 and 11th SW, 12th Aggramar's trinket, 13th NF, 14th 2 external, 15th 2 external < here you're crying and praying. Ofc, you try to have DS, prio for 8th and 9th coz you need a bit mitigation, and for last ones. DS can handle 3 scythes.

@zealous sleet : Nothing hard p1 p3 p5, boss hits hard p2 and p4. Try to ask your cham heal to take res totem, then you can stack all the bridge and suicide on the totem. If you don't, suicide and use a BR if you have to clean the bridge. Suicide a DPS 2nd bridge's clean.

unborn island
#

Darkmoon deck is a good start, Aggramar trinket is good, but very situational

#

truth is there's no correct answer about what trinket you should use in a given situation

#

ideally try and get all of them, Diima's, Eye, Apocalypse, Aggramar all have their uses

zealous sleet
#

Ey thanks bud, iโ€™ll see w/ the rsham

unborn island
#

otherwise, Haste stat sticks from the relinquished vendor are good (use fury spec)

#

I usually run the Argus tank trinket and Diima's for most stuff, decent mix of survivability and damage.

flat kelp
#

@zealous sleet And btw if nobody did think about it, use the speed potion

zealous sleet
#

We did y

#

Engi belt can be fucked up right ?

flat kelp
#

it shares CD with potions, dosn't it ? Potion is better to use

zealous sleet
#

Ye, but IRC it can bug and skyrockets you in the sky instead of boosting ur MS

#

So yea, will stick to pots

sick sentinel
#

@unborn island ok thx I will try to get as many as possible and save the bad ones I have too

unborn island
#

Yeah - sorry I can't give a better answer, there's so many times where trinkets are awesome in specific situations but awful in others, I think I keep about 10 in my bags at any given point

flat kelp
#

Since i dropped a chrono shard, i don't play defensive trinkets, none is rly gamebreaker but aggramar's conviction for your raid

sick sentinel
#

finally got pantheon trinket today

#

FeelsGoodMan

#

got a question guys, what trinket and leggo combination is the best for maximising dps

west kayak
#

@sick sentinel I run Pantheon with either Chrono Shard or a Haste stat stick.

sick sentinel
#

@west kayak I see, don't have Chrono though :C I think from now on I will go with Pantheon and Eye/DmD for some defensive value also

#

I am just having dillema with leggos

#

Wrists are mvp for some fights, where i have health problems, but I think if I wanna maximise dps for easier fights I should go with Kaku and TWF. What do U think?

flat kelp
#

Thats it Verlan

#

Also you can play with Crucible ring, depends of your t2 traits

west kayak
#

As anyone will say it matters which ones you have. The Walls Fell is an amazing Lego for 2p T21 for suvivability and dps(somewhat).

#

Gloves and Waist for max dps, especially on trash and boss's with adds.

#

Me personally I run Sephuz, when I know I can constantly proc it, and the belt for dps. Pairing those with Chrono and Pantheon.

#

DPS that is.

untold vigil
#

archi trinket is pretty ok for st dps too

flat kelp
#

i never saw a high world rank with archi trinket

sick sentinel
#

Hmm, i think I will give it a shot later on then, I will try TWF and Kaku combo first

west kayak
#

Another player in a pug posted to me our run on Eonar(Normal) and I guess I got rank 2 with that above combo.

sick sentinel
#

Nice!

flat kelp
#

Eonar dosnt score for the all star as this fight is broken haha, but ncie

#

nice*

It was cool to see it. 1.3m dps.

Hey guys! I've been in the server for quite a while and I have a question now that our guild is progressing on Imonar Mythic. In the event that someone has already cleared it as a prot warrior! How many mines you reckon we can handle when clearing the bridge? Main reason I'm asking is because as a Warrior we can't really spam Ignore Pains when there's nothing to hit ๐Ÿ˜„ Buttress-Outland is my character in case anyone's wondering for context/relevance.

#

Thanks in advance!

sick sentinel
#

thunder clap

#

bersker rage

#

shout

junior igloo
#

Depends on how many are in the way

#

I'd say maybe 4 each

flat kelp
#

I went to max 8 stacks as our rcham didnt play with res totem, i just ran to imonar and generate rage, i can handle something like 10-15s healing myself alone (gloves + wraiths). I used DmD + Aggramar's trinket (3s without taking damage is awesome on this phase !). Our hpal goal was to run fast enough to me to heal me till debuff goes off.

#

i think you'll handle easier generating imonar than staying on bridge waiting for your healers to heal you. It's maybe easier with t20, i can't play with since my pieces are 915.

#

generating on imonar*

livid vector
#

Yeah I'm on a similar boat there, my T20 pieces aren't worth equipping due to ilvl. Started progressing into ToS Mythic too late into the tier. Alright, so you reckon we're better off popping the mines then just head to Imonar and bash him for as long as possible, preferably with a healer getting to us before we ultimately die. ๐Ÿค”

#

I know towards the last phase that's usually what happens. You die then get battle ressed right?

flat kelp
#

I think best idea is to use a res totem from rcham, my guild asked me to clear as must as possible the bridge, as we had bonobos who need a heavy pass to not trigger mines. You can go for less if you don't have bonobos :p

#

We suicided a DH dps using is invulnerability, then i could reach the boss with all buff and 100% life, easier than after getting a res.

livid vector
#

That at the very last phase yeah?

flat kelp
#

ye, the second red bridge clean, going to p5

livid vector
#

Figured as much. Alright, well I got some talking to do with the rest of the group, thanks for your input @flat kelp! Really appreciate it.

junior igloo
#

Well I though we were talking about 1st/3rd bridge.

On 2nd/4th, the 1 person just runs all the way through while raid is stacked for healer cooldown and then they just run when the path is clear.

livid vector
#

1st and 3rd bridge are also important so I'll keep the "4" in mind.

#

We just got to Imonar last night and we're still getting the hang of it. Really appreciate your suggestions ๐Ÿ™‚

#

One thing I do like to see as a tank warrior is the amount of damage we just ignore, have found hard to roll druid because of it ๐Ÿ˜„

timid jay
#

If you are going to suicide clear one of the red bridges, bring some skystep potipns

flat kelp
#

Prot war mitigates a lot of dmg, but i'm still waiting for aggramar and argus M... My drood is closely ready to get back if warrior is rly worse to end the progress with. But for now, we are on shivarra, and war deals good on this fight

timid jay
#

Aggramars deals no damage at all to Prot warriors

flat kelp
#

We are going to try every bosses with my main war, but i keep my drood in the pocket to swap if guild feels it would be better with

livid vector
#

Going for the same here @flat kelp

timid jay
#

Can't speak for argus, but aggramars is really easy as Prot warrior

flat kelp
#

ok thx for info, i keep it in mind

#

i won't go bear that early !

livid vector
#

Woop!

timid jay
#

Took double flame rend and foe breaker no problem

#

Second foe breaker hit for 5M with sw+nf

quiet delta
#

what is the difference between argus normal and heroic tanking wise except from damage?

flat kelp
#

melee adds pop 2 times in hm, and in p4 scythe debuff dosnt go off, you have to stack the most you can before dieing

quiet delta
#

just that?

#

iz

void kite
#

Yup

quiet delta
#

worth using avoidance then to take more stacks in p4?

void kite
#

Imo not really you just need to rotate cooldowns with shield block and you can take a whole lot

quiet delta
#

so which 2 trinkets are the go to for argus from these I got: apocalypse drive, eye of f'harg, writhing heart of darkness, darkmoon deck: immortality, riftworld codex, aggramar's convinction

#

and I guess bracers and legs will be the go to legendaries

untold vigil
#

for hc argus @flat kelp just posting this rotation earlier:

 I went to 14 or 15 stacks before next one killed me. You can handle 5-6th first with only SB (depends on your ilvl, 971 eq atm), 7th NF, 8th LS, 9th you're still under LS, 10 and 11th SW, 12th Aggramar's trinket, 13th NF, 14th 2 external, 15th 2 external < here you're crying and praying. Ofc, you try to have DS, prio for 8th and 9th coz you need a bit mitigation, and for last ones. DS can handle 3 scythes.
quiet delta
#

i dont have aggramars trinket

#

so from the trinkets i have?

untold vigil
#

of the ones you have, the pantheon trinket is probably a must, beyond that i would guess maybe DMD or heart, maybe leaning toward DMD but it probably doesn't matter much

#

as for legendaries, yes to bracers, but then i would probably go gloves instead of legs

sand light
#

Someone might want to take a sec to update the resources/faq post. It's still linking to the 7.2.5 guide

untold vigil
#

or, if you're using tier combo, bracers+twf

#

oh, so it is @sand light

untold vigil
sick sentinel

what are our bis legendarys?

#

ring and bracers?

Twf ring and bracers single target with tier combo, belt is used for aoe

#

Bracers/gloves/belt without combo mainly

sick sentinel
#

ty

sick sentinel
#

Guys quick question... Dark moon deck immortality still the go to trinket?

fleet galleon
#

It's pretty good but I believe Diimas glacial aegis is considered better now cos of item level

steel mauve
#

Depends on if you want dps

#

Defensivly dmd is the best physical mitigation trinket

#

In terms of raw melee attacks

#

But diimas will have more dps due to the ilvl and strength to it

fleet galleon
#

As well as the effect of course

brave mauve
#

If your tank-swap is something with a big smack, then taunt, then Diima's beats it (aggramar, or something like KJ in tos). If something where it's just 'oh no, too many stacks lol' then DMD is stilll competitive

rough basin
#

hey guys, i'll soon be buying a lego, what piece should i pray to RNG gods for dps?

junior ivy
#

wrists are most important prot leggo

#

oh

#

wait

#

dps

#

nm nm

#

i dunno :(*

rough basin
#

i heared gloves, but not sure

junior ivy
#

gloves are good but i think you can only use them if youre not using 4pc t20 and 2pc t21

#

i use gloves and wrists, and 2pc t21

#

i dont use any t20

#

but i know most here do

untold vigil
#

gloves are probably best dps leggo

#

if you want dps, you won't be wearing the t204pc/t21 2pc combo, so you can wear gloves

rough basin
#

why you cant use em if u have 4pc t20

untold vigil
#

the wombo-combo for survival is 4pc t20 and 2 pc t21 at the same time, which requires you to use gloves on one of either t20 or t21

stone imp
#

Gloves ST, belt multi.

rough basin
#

ah, im dumb, lol

untold vigil
#

but if you're going for dps, you wouldn't wear the survival combo, so you can easily fit in gloves

stone imp
#

If you go gloves, you go 2pc T21 and high ilvl

#

because you're going DPS

junior ivy
#

thats my set up. but im not purposely going dps lol., i just cant be bothered going back to t omb

stone imp
#

2p t21 is a solid DPS increase and lets you build up big IPs quickly, so unless you're still rocking high ilvl t20, it's usually going to make sense to just move on from it.

#

and 4pc isn't terrible, just not amazing

junior ivy
#

im tryin to get t21 4pc for fury

#

is it useful at all for prot

#

i never see anyone mention it

#

like would it be worth using

stone imp
#

It's worth using, particularly handy for mythic+s/multitarget fights

junior ivy
#

oo ionly got one more leggo to upgrade to 1000

#

once ive upgraded every leggo to 1000 what do i use my titan essence thingies for?

#

they jsut useless?

stone imp
#

Buying more legendaries

dusk locust
#

you target any particular 4 pieces for t21? probably not gloves because kakushan

junior ivy
#

but i got all warrior legendaries ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

stone imp
#

Then you get to try a new class, I suppose

rough basin
#

you can buy legos for other alts

junior ivy
#

oh i dont play alts ๐Ÿ˜ฆ lol

rough basin
#

its a random clas tho

junior ivy
#

maybe i should start

stone imp
#

In general you're going highest ilvl and set pieces where you don't need to sacrifice those levels

#

If you have a 980 chest, I probably wouldn't bother to equip a 945 tier piece, for example.

#

cloak, gloves, shoulders, legs have lower stat budgets (roughly in order) than helm and chest

outer rampart
#

Hey guys, sorry if this is written somewhere but I mained prot in legion until launch of nighthold and switched off because I hated Devastator, is that still the go to talent for prot warriors?

west kayak
#

@outer rampart Yes, you still use the Dev talent.

ember arrow
#

hated it why?

#

its prettyy much mandatory

cinder pasture
#

Wich 2 trinkets do you guys think would be best for Argus HC ? Got DMD, 945 diimas, 950 eye, and 980 Aggramar's conviction to choose from ๐Ÿ˜„

outer rampart
#

I hated the moments where nothing proced and I was just sitting there, I like spamming essentially

stone imp
#

The idea of not spamming felt bad after years of spamming, then you realized it was the best thing ever.

#

those moments don't really materialize in real life now

#

you're always hitting a button if you're taking damage

#

Sometimes when you're not, there's a lull here or there from a lack of RFDT

wintry heron
#

At what ilvl should I replace a relic from just pure ilvl upgrade but trait downgrade? Just got a 945 relic with HC Leap CDR and Dragon Skin and current relic is 930 with Revenge damage and Dragon Skin

stone imp
#

Unless someone has done some good simming, you'd take the 945

wintry heron
#

Aight, bye bye my 2x 7/7s

stone imp
#

Bastion is the only one that doesn't feel like you can put an ilvl number on its value, purely defensively

#

And the middle traits are usually the ones you're going to value all other things being roughly equal.

#

Some of those NLC tier 2 traits are kinda crud

wintry heron
#

Ye I swapped from Master of Shadows in the 930 to Dark Sorrows in the 945

stone imp
#

Dark Sorrows is insane for AoE, so more than makes up for the revenge relic I assume

#

It's like 2x the damage in comparison Master of Shadows in AoE and just a little worse in ST

wintry heron
#

I don't really play Prot as the end all be all of my warrior, it's just in the occasional off chance my guild needs it or Im doing m+

#

So perfect relics are reserved for dps

deft sapphire
#

For the most part you can ignore ilvl on relics

#

T2 dps traits/thunder crash/revenge damage are far better than any ilvl dps wise

#

And master of shadows/bastion far better than ilvl defensively

stone imp
#

Unless prot is special and has some ridiculously overbudget on the revenge relic, there's for sure a break even point for ilvl for both offense and defense that isn't unbound

i attempted to off tank hc argus for my huild and i miserably failed and died at the very second scuthe in the last phase. I did admittedly fail to properly time shield block, but will it be enough? or will need to be like: 1. just block, 2. block+last stand, Block+ shield wall?

i only made 2 attempts and the log is probably extremely poor performance wise, but please tell me all that there is to know

On heroic? Just SB

on anything, I suppose, for the 2nd scythe

You can take more than 2 scythes on heroic with only SB

yoooo matee!! what do u think about Highmountain Tauren ?? is it better than TAUREN normal?

for tanking i mean

with 10M HP i calculated the racial damage recuctio is 180k per hit

here is something posted earlier about HC argus and a possible CD pattern

for hc argus @flat kelp just posting this rotation earlier:

 I went to 14 or 15 stacks before next one killed me. You can handle 5-6th first with only SB (depends on your ilvl, 971 eq atm), 7th NF, 8th LS, 9th you're still under LS, 10 and 11th SW, 12th Aggramar's trinket, 13th NF, 14th 2 external, 15th 2 external < here you're crying and praying.

#

obvs that depedns on ilvl, your healers, but it seems pretty reasonable

#

give or take a scythe number

stone imp
#

Realistically before the last phase there's no reason to take more than 4 and during the last phase, there's not a lot of reason to take 14.

valid panther
#

I feel like if you're getting to 15 something went HORRIBLY wrong

stone imp
#

It's mostly to say you did, I assume

untold vigil
#

might as well use your cds to take as many as possible, no?

stone imp
#

Yes, but your healers are dealing with the increased damage in between

#

So you're doing no one any favors

#

Each time you're a little harder to heal than the last. On those 14th where he's calling for externals

#

The ones before that, he's probably near 0 HP

#

Just die and take the load off

@steel mauve can you tellme what minute that sounds weird, mu current prob is spamming it needlessly most of the time

some people just want addons to play the game for them

even though if you took a few min to actually read about the crucible for us, you'd know that the choices arent even tough to make

hardest choice we have is to go for surv or dmg

ok what if the other tank got it to so i use the str one on every boss?

sick sentinel
#

whats the highest ilvl of darkmoon deck 900 right?

prisma crane
#

yes @sick sentinel and generally @open field that synergy doesnt happen often, but if your other tank is willing to have the other one active then you gain more from it

open field
#

ok ty ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

prisma crane
#

but, the stam one is useful on fights where armor does little for you

#

but you'll gain more dmg from the STR one always

tranquil kraken
#

Crucible weights do help a lot when deciding between similar-sounding traits though...can't recall their names off the top of my head but there's a light and shadow trait that basically sound like they do the same thing but with different numbers

#

does a proc-based damage and self-heal, in both cases

hidden kindle
#

Is everyone still running T20 4p + T21 2p? It would seem so from the guide but 0/7 prot warriors who have logged Argus Mythic used it and almost no one used it on aggramar mythic either. A bit out of the loop since I rolled over to fury main in ToS

tranquil kraken
#

how am I supposed to know which one of those to pick without looking up the RPPM or something? lol

prisma crane
#

generally speaking, in that scenario, the shadow one is slightly more dmg and the light one "can" heal, but you have to know which ones dont heal us and only others via insp pres

#

that said

#

that only happens if those two are in the T2 slots and the choice you want in T3 is mid

tranquil kraken
#

Or if none of the T3 choices are better than the other - but I understand your point...just saying that in some cases, it really does come down to math regarding the specifics of the trait that aren't spelled out in the tooltip

#

I will take a laugh on the chin and all but I am alting fury warrior and I decided to try prot challenge

Or various stupid reasons

#

How do I deal adds on this ilvl

#

Should I just kill em all

the small ones? just shockwave and weave your rotation with revenges and claps, that should be enough to get them low enough

I wont stop untill I do it. I know its couse I am bad at it but I just came here for a tip if there is any

#

Big one is tossing me off

#

I thought he need to come close to smash but he sometime chase me

gaunt igloo
#

being knocked off i'd say is bad movement during the fight, might be something to watch out for that youre not paying enough attention...

mighty mason
#

Sometimes he just smash from distance.

#

I am aware that its couse of that. Thank you my brother. I will inform everyone and open a bottle when I do it !!! ๐Ÿ˜„

prisma crane
#

@tranquil kraken if the T3 traits are shit, then often the relic isnt worth replacing, so idk, at least personally, in the fairly rare occasions you dont have a great relic and the new one is worse but better ilvl you might have to check a guide quick, idk

#

but for surv it's a joke, bastion, y/n? y? upgrade, n? not worth

#

replace? only if higher ilvl with bastion

#

for dmg, rev and tclap almost exclusively

#

T2 dmg is same as all other classes, TtW or Shadowbind

#

i get that if it's a 3rd alt and stuff, idk

#

but at that point, you dont play it enough that matters anyways so just pick whichever you want

hey guys, was going over the stats for the move from 4t20 to current gear, and i'd like an input from you

#

those are from t20 to current set and offset pieces

fair ingot
prisma crane
#

those numbers are always going to look that way @gaunt igloo

#

ilvl alone will do that

#

the benefit comes from rage gen

#

@fair ingot sadly, unless you hit 100% , it's pointless ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

fair ingot
#

shhh

hidden kindle
#

i just looked at the same stuff, when would there ever be a cut off point?

left meteor
#

@fair ingot better have 7/7 BotA

prisma crane
#

plus i found it easier to just do it without T19

fair ingot
#

you can just put on highest mastery items in your eq

prisma crane
#

@hidden kindle it comes down to whether or not you feel you need/want the extra CDR and bracer heals

#

otherwise 4pT21 is solid

#

same with just better stats in 2p T21

green isle
#

t19 2pc is worth 2.7k mastery, defensively

#

i doubt it's worth with 890 t19 pieces

prisma crane
#

but the rage you get from 4p2p is nuts

green isle
#

you need like big items to offset the loss of stamina etc

prisma crane
#

you'd have to use T19 with mastery already on them

#

otherwise, it's not worth it

#

imo at least

gaunt igloo
#

that and the stat loss from using low ilvl gear

sick sentinel
#

im not sure when id move away from 2p4p to 4pc t21

#

maybe if i had atleast all 960

gaunt igloo
#

the armor and str alone make a huge difference, even with the 100% mastery

green isle
#

mythic nh bosses should die in like 1 minute with current dps

#

15 ilvl increase on both pieces assuming no WF procs

hidden kindle
#

ive played with the 4p +2p and yea its a ton of rage, just seemd weird that it wouldnt be overtaken by 600k hp, 8% haste, 3% mastery, 3k str etc

gaunt igloo
#

600k hp isnt worth much, as warriors, i feel

timid jay
#

If something a small amount of health matter more for us

gaunt igloo
#

so mostly ignore that and see if the 8% haste and 3k str is enough for the rage generation

sturdy condor
#

SOOO who is up for the challenge guys? Solotanking vari normal in a 1/0/9 grp?

#

World r1 speedkilll

timid jay
#

With our high % DR, that small amount of health becomes a very big amount of EHP

green isle
#

why do you care so much about a normal vari speedkill

sturdy condor
#

Its more for trying to kill it without healers and 1 tank

#

not for the speedkill

hidden kindle
#

reason im curious also is cause it said in one of the guides that one might drop the T20 when you get mythic gear for T21. i have every piece in my gear (set and off set) 960 or higher with haste+ mastery

gaunt igloo
#

@timid jay sure, but i mean, the haste % feels a lot more important for the shield block cd reduction and the str for IPs

sturdy condor
#

The Doyn, you wanna do it?

green isle
#

no

gaunt igloo
#

@hidden kindle then youre probably good to go (also, on the bright side, you wont hit BR during felhounds accidentally anymore ๐Ÿ˜‚ )

hard wyvern
#

I dropped T20 for T21 pretty early for some fatty 970-980 titan forges

sturdy condor
#

Wait for frayytrain i suppose

hidden kindle
#

hehe well I dont really tank in raids anymore, main fury since ToS thats why im out of the loop ๐Ÿ˜‰

timid jay
#

There is a reason why ilvl is valued higher for us than just haste

#

Stamina is a part of that @gaunt igloo

fair ingot
hidden kindle
#

while I have youy guys on the hook perhaps I can ask how strong ilvl really is then, cause I have 970 pants with haste+mastery and 980 with crit vers

#

at that point the ilvl cant win out i would guess?

gaunt igloo
#

obviously, but like i mentioned, i feel it's not as big of a deal than the other stats in thepackage

hard wyvern
#

I'd run 970 haste mastery

#

But either should actually be fine

#

due to str/stam from 10 ilvl

hidden kindle
#

would kakushan once again be better than walls fel if I drop the T20 or is it just better by virtue of the T21 2p?

timid jay
#

Kakushan edges out in raw RPS

#

If you really need the extra SW usages TFW could be usable, but I dont really see any usecase for that

hidden kindle
#

cool thanks

left meteor
#

What's the cloak enchant called that gives you movementspeed=

hidden kindle
#

one last thing and ill stop bothering you guys, but is the T21 4p worth anything really? or should I drop it for just about any gain in stats?

gaunt igloo
#

i'd say no, it's decent but not worth the ilvl difference, or bad itemisation from set pieces

timid jay
#

4p does bring a lot of value

hard wyvern
#

It looks good for aggramar

timid jay
#

With the changes to how it works

cinder pasture
timid jay
#

๐Ÿ‘

hidden kindle
#

since I main fury I have mythic ilvl head, shoulder, chest, gloves but not legs or head

#

so to get kakushan i would have to drop the 4p

#

so question i guess is if kakushan is better than walls fel + 4p

timid jay
#

Defensively, it would definitely be worth it to use a heroic piece to finish up 4p if you have

hidden kindle
#

well I have 4p mythic if i play walls fel + bracers but if i want kakushan i would have to drop to 920 legs

gaunt igloo
#

you could also use thundergods, it's not as good as kakushans, i'd say, but also has some value, if you dont have other pieces

hidden kindle
#

have every lego for warrior except thundergods >.>

timid jay
#

Id go for the 920 legs and kaku for a defensive setup

#

4p does bring a lot of value, its a good boost to IP

hidden kindle

cool, thanks

@timid jay what changes to 4p do you mean? i must've missed something.

it gives you a boost to next IP if you dont have an IP currently active

Do you know the name of the buff that it gives you? I'm gonna make a wa for it

Thats a fatty bonus

scale off of ap right?

[Attack Power * 4] yeah, also stacks

i just let a target dummy hit me a few times

i went full 4p last night for the first time and it was good

Because you always get the value

Ooooooh, it stacks

Thats huge

hidden kindle
#

wait WHAT Is this live???

undone sun
#

yes

#

has been since antorus launched

hidden kindle
#

doesnt even say in the tool tip still

hard wyvern
#

So the bonus can go over the regular absorb cap

untold vigil
#

huh

timid jay
#

iirc the normal IP cap still stands, even with that bonus

#

afaik the only way to extend it apart from more AP/versa and so on is dragon scales

gaunt igloo
#

didnt know about that, do you know if the current WA for IP acknowledges that?

untold vigil
#

i just checked and t21 isn't listed

#

t18 is called out explicitly, so i would guess it is not accounted for

untold vigil
#

although it was updated on 1/23/18

sturdy condor
#

Easy

hard wyvern
#

My normal IP cap is 4mil, I stacked T21 4pc to 6 mil and it gave me the 6 mil shield

Hmm

Will have to test it myself later then

undone sun
#

yeah, that's actually true

timid jay
#

Cool

undone sun
#

the WA doesn't accoutn for it

#

just tested

timid jay
#

Wait so it actually goes over the cap or not?

undone sun
#

it goes over the cap the WA says

#

by a significant amount

#

not just a rounding error

hard wyvern
#

Yeah, if you check the aura, it'll tell you the initial shield it gives you

#

but yeah the WA will cap out

untold vigil
#

that's a significant buff over what the tooltip says

#

for the sets

#

wow

prisma crane
#

sounds really good for a fight like Vari then

honest mantle
#

I would love to see Vari with 1/0/29 for the ultimate warrior healing log xD

prisma crane
#

lol

hard wyvern
#

So it looks like the stand your ground buff does have a cap, but if you have IP up already with the buff, you can go over

tranquil sand
#

how does the damage reduction formula work for shield block? multiplicative with other reductions of additive?

prisma crane
#

multi

timid jay
#

All DR's are multiplicative, except a few that are a flat number as DR

junior ivy
#

what are tomorrows affixes again i forget

undone sun
#

teeming necro tyran

hard wyvern
#

Okay, so you can't stack stand your ground while IP is up. FeelsBadMan

#

At least on the training dummies I couldn't

undone sun
#

correct, because stand your ground is only the Next IP buff

#

the original 4pc is current active, which is still in affect

#

stand your ground is just the failsafe for when you dont have an IP active

hard wyvern
#

Yeah that makes sense

junior ivy
#

wil BRH be harder tomorrow or tonioght?

hard wyvern
#

I was hoping that you could stack it duirng your current IP buff for the next one

junior ivy
#

BRH 15.

#

also will seat be harder today or tomororw?

hard wyvern
#

Both tomorrow

junior ivy
#

both harder tomorrow?

#

so i should do em tonight?

hard wyvern
#

Unlesss you havee a good cc comp

junior ivy
#

nope random pugs

undone sun
#

seat doesn't have any comfortating affixes, you just have to play it safe regardless

I'd run it tonight

junior ivy

k ill tyr them both tonight ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

@junior ivy Did you finally break the 2k barrier?

junior ivy

im gettin there, slowly

gonna try and do brh and seat tonight

should get me to like 1950 or 1975

then ill work on some others

Where does prot rank in easiness of tanks

timid jay
#

Would say its among the harder, low health pool makes it very unforgiving if you mess up your AM

tough gull
#

I would say Druid is by far the easiest

prisma crane
#

i've only ever really played prot warr so it feels natural, but many say it's among the hardest to play

#

for exactly Cosmo's reason, you fuck up, everyone knows

untold vigil
#

i think there are things that are harder for other tanks that come easy for warrior

prisma crane
#

even sometimes something little

#

but i'd argue a lot of that falls under cheese, but yea

untold vigil
#

it's not as important these days, but i can rip threat off of basically any tank. it's mostly an annoyance these days, but it is something that is easier for warrior

#

survival, yeah, it's easy to get punished if you space out

left meteor
#

If I play a Tank other than Prot it feels so bad

Prot just feels good to play

#

Hey, could someone tell me what ilvl t20 becomes not worth it? Please and thank you ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

prisma crane
#

i mean this nicely but

#

if you're at the point you have to ask that

#

T20 is still worth ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

there are moments that higher T21 and offpieces do exceed (in most areas), but it's usually around full 960+ gear

#

and also depends on your T20 gear

#

all 955? prob never, all 915? probably around that 960+ mark

untold vigil
#

i'd say it has to do with: "do you have trouble surviving? if yes, then then wear the combo"

junior ivy
#

i have no idea what to spend my bonus rolls on anymore ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

untold vigil
#

that depends on your raid comp and your difficulty and fight more than ilvl

junior ivy
#

im gonna have 5 bonus rolls next week

#

and im lost

#

at what to use them on

untold vigil
#

but i tried out 4pt21 on dogs last night and actually did more 'healing' than the previous week with tier combo... and we were discussing earlier that the 4pt21 behaves differently than stated on the armor tooltip which makes it better than it seems at first, so the gap between them is probably less

#

(i think this is a pretty standard pattern: at first people think tier bonuses are bad, then grudging acceptance, then they become good. it happened with t20, and seems to be happening with t21)

#

(although, to be fair the 4pt20 love has a lot to do with synergy with 2pt21)

gleaming folio
#

I've never really tanked, but i know that t20 is busted

#

I want to get into

#

iot

turbid horizon
#

I have to prewarn tanks in pugs that I will rip threat from them, because I don't pay attention to omen and do as much dps as possible

gleaming folio
#

prot warriors just look the most fun out of all the tanks tbh haha

untold vigil
#

you don't need t20 to tanks effectively in abt

gleaming folio
#

I have a full H t20 set

#

but i was thinking about pugging some mythic tomb for some upgrades

turbid remnant
#

are hand/belt legends still BiS?

prisma crane
#

first off, 4p2p is just fun

#

so you have to try it regardless

#

@turbid remnant yes unless you run 4p2p tier

gleaming folio
#

yeah i have t21 as well so im looking forward to it ๐Ÿ˜„

left meteor
#

If I tanked in our guild I'd be ripping threat off immediately tbh. Our tanks do less than 500k on all encounters iirc.

prisma crane
#

@junior ivy i've been there for weeks, just coin bosses with the biggest chance for upgrades

turbid remnant
#

gotcha ty, also T21>T20 for prot

prisma crane
#

and if you're looking for WF/TF just coin the ones that you only have base ilvl on

#

um

#

2p T21 is god tier

#

4p T20 just has great synergy with T21 2p

#

as well as being strong on it's own

#

4p T21 is about the same value as T20 4p (or 2p independantly) but without the synergy with 4p2p

turbid remnant
#

what legends would you use with 2p4p though

left meteor
#

Bracers are pretty good

#

They are even better with 4p2p because rage generation goes through the roof

prisma crane
#

bracers and TWF

(in the pins)

gleaming folio
#

How do you get so much haste haha, reading the guide and it says 35-40 % ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

prisma crane
#

what guide?

#

because

#

there's no amount of haste you "need"

#

unless you're reading the guide posted here, you're likely looking at an outdated guide

timid jay
#

I belive the guide still mentions the haste for 100% SB uptime with HR

gleaming folio
#

^

#

yeah

timid jay
#

which would be 35-40%, but since we dont play HR anymore its kind of a moot point

gleaming folio
#

ah

#

I currently have Bracers plus soul, unfortunately i have no other tanking leggos

#

what sorta stats am i looking at>?

undone sun
#

ilevel>haste>mastery>=verse>>crit

prisma crane
gleaming folio
#

ah

#

I see

prisma crane
#

plus, yea, if anything that should almost be all removed since HR isn't required anywhere anymore

gleaming folio
#

alright thanks

#

I'm confused wit hthe way its presenting leggos

#

whats BIS?

#

I know bracers are

prisma crane
#

TWF with bracers if you're running with 6 pieces of tier

#

4p T20 2p T21

#

bracers and gloves if not

Okay, looks like i need to start hunting some prot leggos
