Question: I saw a video where a DH used their leap to clear multiple stun runes on the imonar bridge. Every one he jumped over was activated when he landed and then he only required one dispel. I thought heroic leap went over them without activating them. Can anyone confirm?!
DH's leap works a bit differently
but i use the leap to skip the last parts and charge boss to interuppt
So basically the same ability, interacts with mechanics differently.
sure, i guess
Dealing some damage when you land
but for the purposes of that fight they are different
it does, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯
k dumb question, in chromie thingy
i donty see a timer?
every now and then chromie mentions the time left
but id likem to see the timer
where should it be
i stopped all 4 attacks on her
That's insane...
i'd be happy to do those "little" 25s lol
watching them do 24s is like how i feel in a 16-17
Also, it should be easier to get your M+ score up now since Blizz is logging top 500 runs rather than top 100
this is true
And where can we watch this guy?
mythic plus score is a meme
if tonight wasnt raid night id hit 2k today
but instead it'll be friday
maybe thursday
@fleet galleon Fragnance? he's one of the higher viewed wow streamers
but those are on his lock
Twitch?
yea
I gotta look this guy up
DK tank, pally heals, then hunter lock rogue
i dont ever view streamers, of anyhtinhg, but itd be cool to watch people do some hiugh lvl keys
gfrom tank perspective
he's a method/serenity/Future player
MDI was great for that
tank perspective is nice, but even just watching is fine
since you can see how they pull
i love to see other peoples UIs too lol
Oh he runs with Gingi? I've seen a bit of him on Youtube. That guy is also nuts
Why banned?
kk
account sharing and cash sales
2k is really mediocre mythic score imo
the gingi he is on now is a different hunter than in ToS
i got 2k doing only 15s on time
sure, but that's not easy for everyone
and don't have have a single seat
it's the first milestone
i refuse to do seat
i think the gear requirement for tanks to do a +15 is wayy lower than the gear required for the dps checks on most dungeons
depends, but sure
that said, pathing and pull selection alone will save tons of time though
gear isnt everything, though it obviously helps
yea
what i mean is
every decent tank can tank the damage from a 15
with ~940 gear
but not every dps can deal the required damage with the same level of gear
sure they can, if they play as well as the tank
and the tank pulls in a way that serves them
you most certainly can do a 15 easily with 940 gear
15s are pretty easy, id say you could tank them at 930 or 923 if you know how and when to use your kit in the instance
@junior ivy I think shakib and zqs stream but they don't play prot war
oh ok might check em out anyway
btw are people having issues logging onto wow riguyht now?
yea, they know about it, shouldnt take too long
kk
im online but my sister cant get on and i keep seeing bnet friends log on off on off on off on off
bnut their wow characters never log on
same
ppl who were online earlier this morning and didnt log off are fine
or i guess afternoon, cause i call that morning
hope it doesnt affect raid tonight
Heard it was a DDoS attack but not sure
yea a DDoS attack from every single wow playier trying to pre order BFA
and their system refreshes ever 15s
there*
^
EU is affected just as much
Can EU pre order today?
yea
is there a spec that performs the best in low level battlegrounds?
or they are even?
like level 20-30
i got 1600 in 2s as prot, pretty much a god
I cant remember i wanted to see if i could get 2k as prot but i could not find a good enough carry
TFW I found out you can't have 2 tanks in 2v2 😦
haha for real
I wanted to run double blood DK and laugh at people
even as prot i pretty much would never die until are IP did nothing
Run Prot Warrior and Defensive Stance arms Warrior.
Legendary effects don't work in arena right?
don't think so but honestly cant remember
It'd be so amazing if WoW's blades were totally wiped
The backups too.
Everyone somehow losing their characters in this update
Starting from day 0
nnf
Also something something devestator is imba indom is shit
Just to keep it relevant.
👍
You can't make me
if it was up to me id make indom turn you into a rock increasing health by 40% and grats you 100% uptime on sheild block but you cant cast anything
Just a giant beef potato of a tank
you also cant move
For the superspud players that are that rare breed of degenerates that "collect passives"
It's a term I've heard once or twice.
I think my heart palpated when I heard it.
is upright orc/troll in the game yet?
no
guys quick help
wit hwhat cds do you usually take foe breakers on aggramar heroic?
i usually go with demo and good stacked ignore pain, sometimes i take no damage, sometimes i get 1 shot
should just go with last stand and shield wall all the time?
hey guys
i was wondering does the jeweled signet of melandrus affect the devastator talent's damage?
it does not
ahhh bugger
melees and devastator are still separate in damage meters
i got a 980 of it in the 1st week chest
😦
Ty vm! 😄
Gloves and bracers still a good choice? otherwise whats the next best choices at the moment
for legendaries, i picked up a really high i lvl set of gloves, but not sure if i can value the trade
yup, those two are still good unless you're running the 6pc tier combo locking the gloves lots into tier
yeah no tier items cbf got too many high i lvl dungeon and non set raid items
get patch
Might be patch you're missing
How big is patcj?
Was just a small one
Ive got 800mb so might not be able to play for a week then :(
thanks for the tip 😃
darn that brought my to the black screen of death
outta luck until tomorrow?
Just leave it on char select and it'll showup after a bit
awesome thanks again sense
Guys we progress Varimathras mythic tomorrow and I main arms but am being the 3rd tank on the fight to deal with necrotic. Any pointers? optimal leggos or talents?
Anyone boosted a 110 yet? Curious what ilevel you end up with.
870
Ah okay, thanks
Just dps build / legendaries for vari escort tank
@humble oar offensive setup, nothing special is needed for that role just Spell reflect for every add spawn/necrotic drop off
No legendaries I assume?
with the timings for the add spawn do you need to take the 2 charge leggo?
nope, it's on time for a single charge
nice, I currently still run the 4 tier 20 2 tier 21 with the walls fell so I dont know if I will need to make any drastic changes
pretty much just go for as much damage as you can, nothing threating in the slightest
mmm it does look like a very easy fight tbh I just wasnt sure if that was deceptive or not
So I'm a bit confused on stat sticks. I got a 920 mastery stat stick with a socket. If I want to go for more DPS should I be using that over Diimas? -653 STR +1272 Mastery +200 haste
Seems worth but Im not sure how good strength is
What other trinket are you using?
945
I would use Diima's
Eh, not really. It's more that Diima's has strength and a decent chunk of damage from the use effect. Unfortunately for us, it's almost entirely feelycraft on what is better than what.
😢
Dima click works with BC so for huge packs it will be god tier if its off cd
i keep around 7-8 diff armor sets for diff trinket combos
Hnngh
Mind sharing some combinations for bosses?
Wish I raided just so I could have 2pc T21 and a couple of trinkets
I use DMD for some physical heavy fights
But meh
but usually find myself using diimas
my gear is at the point where i dont really bother with defensive trinks anymore
glaives + dima is a fun one
Man, getting excited about these allied races...might have to remake all my toons
most the trinkets i use arent from raids
Lightforged Draenei heritage armor looks sick
chrono, memento, stat sticks, all really strong if you get good rolls. 15 maw is really easy key to spam
This week is gonna be so nice for keys
and has other good haste armor pieces/ring
tentacle loop with a socket at 940 gives you over 2k haste and 2100 mastery. really strong ring if you're not using the BRH or Eonar rings
I wonder if HMT knockdown has DR with anything
And if things like the champions in Maw would be immune or not
warcraft logs down for anyone else?
yup
Are highmountain racial really really strong for tanking or am I reading into it to much. Just reading MMOs champs intro to them
defensively it definitely seems like the g o to
how does that racial passive work? is it a flat value that is raised as you level? or is it a %age based reduction?
I belive its a flat value that increases when you level
one shotted heroic kingaroth for first time!
with the verse and a flat dmg reduc value albeit i believe only several hundred, it'd make a significant difference
whivch is better apoc drive or dimas?
@zealous trellis Reduces damage taken by (Stamina * 0.0003 * 60).
according to wowhead
So it does scale somewhat
the value for the dmg reduction would be incredibly small i reckon between 800-2k at the most
but over a massively long fight, with that value taken off before your defenses i'd say it makes a marginal impact, yeah as you said especially with the extra 1% versatility.
Seems more handy for m+, with more small hits coming your way
its a base line reduction effectiveness would be the same across the board realistically
If you compare m+ to mythic bosses
Lets say you pull a pack of 4 mobs in m+ that in total have the same DPS as the raid boss, the racial would be 4 times stronger in m+
Just because its a flat reduction and not a %DR
no way im switching to highmountain until i get the heritage armor
looking fabulous > marginal benefit of racials
Yeah it'll be interesting to see how significant that reduction is with the stat squish
Someone give me a rundown of your immonar strats for m
My guild wants us to clear the mines and I think that's a shit idea, but eh
Which one of the bridges?
Tanks generally clear the brunt of the green bridges
I do clear the first red bridge and get ressed by a shaman totem
You kind of have to clear the mines...
We can do red bridges with no deaths, but we expend our cds as a tank doing so
Is anyone else doing FAR more damage than they should be in dungeons currently? like shield slam is critting into 1.5m everytime at the moment.
We split red bridges though, i do first half we meet in the middle and pop the rest of our cds and let the dh clear the last half
Otherwise tanks jist clear the green bridges
wholey shit thats nice!
I understand these don't rank anywhere close to our top performing lengedaries for damage or survivability, but would you recommend insignia with refractive(x2) and master of shadows or rethu's
How do we feel about Highmountain tauren racials atm vs normal Tauren racials as prot?
Seems better than normal taurens racials
@timid jay during the 2nd phase
Instead of stacking and moving they jump back and forth on either side while they ask tanks to take 4 stacks of those mines
oh
We never clear those
We start with everyone on the red marker with the boss and then just move along with the green arrow
So that side is littered with mines and the rest of the platform is clear for when we get back there again
i was actuallt nice to CLUTCH today and told him happy birthday and everything, and that fat bastard ignored me 😦 feelsbadman
My guild alternates between two spots and clears mines, is that not normal
Oh our tanks just chain cds and stand on every set of mines
So we can be more mongo with positioning later
what my guild does is nothing because we stopped raiding
Rip you
how is hmt racial against dots? does it decrease every tick of damage?
likely, it's just flat DR
seems broken if it does, guess we'll see.
Even if it does, it reduces by such a small amount
^
For me the reduction would be ~2700 every attack, which is miniscule
We'll have to see how hard things are hitting when the stat squish happens to know how good/bad it is ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Though if it's going off stamina in the formula and that's correct, the amount reduced will go down too
We know the formula, so I highly doubt that it'll change much in relative strength
yeah, thats much bigger than the damage reduction
💪 I'm still really excited to play it.
Might convince me to reroll my warrior to HMT
Not like I have great legendaries anyway x_x
Best tank trinks from m+?
stat stciks are nice
Defensive trinkets are in the pins. Offensive: haste/mast sticks, Memento, Chrono
haste ones
Void elf any good?
Is there a disc/guide on the new races for Prot wars and effect on dmg/dmg taken?
Its extremely minor, doubt its worthy of a guide or pin
as is most racials, it's very minor
the new best race for prot is actually lightforged draenei, as you die so often the passive is a substantial dps increase

Clearly it's Nightborne for the mailbox.
You changed race yet sal?
Can we talk about the name for the mailbox racial? How in blue hell does Cantrips = Mailbox?
Cause people can't pronounce prestidigitation
I mean, unless you summon the mailbox and go to open it and it goes "PSYCH" and disappears?
/golfclap
He's going places, for sure.
Nah Cosmo, Blizzard fucked up and ended up charging my bank five times so my bank account is locked.
So now I need to wait.
I am a little nettled.
majestic AF
🤔
But do the void elves have night elf proportions on the males?
That's the real question
no idea
no, they match BE

That's good at least
So being able to have their animations and be Horde is so good
Like the legs are clipping into your thighs
yeah
i hope you mean female NE
Mhmm
So they do the front flip?
male NE is an abomination
It really is
Male NE don't exist
male NE looks like they really need to take a shit
It's like they mixed a gorilla and an elf together
And that's what they came up with
Actually looks like maybe the same race that Mega Man is
ROFL
ROFL
That was me trying to post a picture of a naked night elf male rofl!
Anyway, they totally look like Megaman
Looks like the filter is working at least
Yeah, if it blocks that, nothing is getting through
I’ve missed the hype train. What happens to all the leggos on BfA?
There are none in BfA presently I don't believe. They said they may add one or two but they'll be like older legendaries where they aren't common or required
Hm... prot warrior still is the only class w/o self healing. Great. 😄
You mean victory rush doesn't count?
Yes, spam that on a boss fight w/o adds
I’ve solod more then plenty thanks to bracers. Feels bad man.
Anyone got numbers on scaling for the Highmountain dmg reduction passive?
Reduces damage taken by (Stamina * 0.0003 * 60).
And it scales with gear? Not just base stam? Seems like it would be a bitch to balance. Dunno how much that comes to on a 950ish geared prot warrior.
cant say I'm 100% on how stagger works
You'll probably have to ask in the monk discord for that
it probably doesnt work how im thinking it could
is the proc rate on Ember of Nullification worth considering?
silencing things unreliably seems kinda stupid
no it's not worth
I just got a 970 shivermaw's jawbone, thats a pretty good trinket at that itemlevel still isnt it?
Woohoo i got a 965 chaos talsiman boys
wooo nice. while we're on the celebration train I got a +15 seat keystone....................... ugh 😉
Rip 😆
affixes are teeming, volcanic (I think, can't confirm just heard rumors they swapped from necrotic), and tyrannical. Also only go from anything to gnome. thats pretty much the only option
if you like you go, the only real racial powerhouse is the cheaper tmog
It is indeed teem/volc
did they change other affix combos as well?
No way to know until we see next week. We don't even know if this is a permanent change
Hell yeah
Went from "man fuck dungeons this week" to "hell yeah, time to get some shit done!"
aye
you can see the next weeks affixes ingame, can´t you? maybe they have modified that table by now?
cannot check ingame right now
That's Angry Keystones
would HMT 'technically' be the best race survival wise?
They use the existing schedule
Probably for the 1% versatility
Technically, yeah. The 1% vers probably does that on its own
yes
The bonuses are so small anyway
But it's not worth rerolling and it's not significant, like any other racial ability (except Arcane Torrent which is ridiculous)
i figured the vers would put them on top. i know casters ally side pretty much need to roll VE...they're op lol
I don't think they're the only race that has magic damage are they?
Eh, but that's not really a thing except in PvP is it?
true
Oh yeah I forgot about that proc
I dunno I still think arcane resistance 1%, escape artist, 5% primary resource, and 1% haste from gnomes is still really good. but I might be bias
I'm with you sweetie 💋
Nah it was bursting
dang was thinking you might have got lucky with the switcheroo
I dont mind bursting as a tank since most of the time we can control that pacing to avoid stupid
necrotic just makes things more tedious than need be
Yeah
what did you want to test on bursting?
If they'd made stoneform get rid of it since 7.3.5?
No, if it did prior to 7.3.5
Since the last bursting was prior to that
I just wanna know why I didn't get 12 stacks of it like the rest of my group
And Stoneform is the only other thing I can thin kof
think of*
I definitely tried to remove it with stoneform and it didn't work. Never tried it pre-emptively to see if it stops application though I think.
That would be a strange way of working
But glad someone has tried it. On the other hand, now I'm even more mystified.
the world may never know
😢
Man got a shitty 975 m+ trinket in my cache. Why does RNG hate me so much.
Question Mythic Felhounds: Is there a way to ensure you always get the same touched debuff?
no
M+ God Trinket right there holy
Oh yeah baby
Isn't it like very strong for necrotic weeks ?
I mean, like much better with it than other weeks ?
IDK if I can stomach going prot and ending up getting a 970 Shard of Rokmora for the off chance that I get a good Shivermaw's.....
Ahahahah it doesn't share a CD nor a GCD with Shivermaw's
Ngl I'm pretty fucking excited to try it out in MM+
And it has the exact same cooldown, wich means that you can pretty much become invincible every minute
So well yeah, now that I have a 960 shivermaw and 945 Diima's, 915 glaives are useless even in a heavy AOE/MM+ situation ?
Coagulated Nightwell Residue is what I got. Ilvl975...
Shivermaw doesn't share CD with anything
I would alternate Shivermaw and Glaives honestly
Use Shivermaw when glaives are on CDS
CD*
how do you survive tanking two big dogs on normal as a warrior?
just there I got my neat 5mil IP but then I kept getting oneshot
like sure, you survive the first few with cds but what then
as any other tank I don't even need cds in the first place
chain CD's and pray - there shouldn't be anything which 1 shots you though IMO (that being said I haven't done it)
without cds I die to maw and a melee with IP/SB up
That sounds very wrong
yeah
The maw itself doesn't hurt much at all if you block it
do you raid as cosmo and did that/log that already?
Ofc, gotta get those sweet animations
argh
I try to delay it all to the end of the week or so, when everything is guaranteed to be post-hype normality
ya okay
think I got the issue
eating both cone aoes
so IP vanishes on one and the other rocks the remaining 6mil hp away
Oh, missed that you tanked both dogs 
ye
quadrupel damage not smart
it's np on BDK
but protwarr is super fragile it seems
especially since you can be a toddler and be great on BDK but that doesn't work on warr
mean hit face on keyboard doesn't create 1mil hps+
got like 8.5mil, am close to 960
just that was what's been left after tha cone aoe
Tried legs if the maws are somewhat synced?
er, I doubt it's gear or lege choices but just 12p issues
just saw on wcl that other warrs did it seemingly without issue
Aight, well just ask if you have any more specific questions
you bet i will
To be honest I tanked both Dogs without wanting to once and I just kinda pressed CDs and relied on my healers to burst me up when I dropped but I got one shot when the bosses had like 2% left.
btw do you get beta-access if you pre-order
checked mmo-champion and blue post didnt find anything
Forgot to change loot spec
Feelsbadman
.......
Yh, bis M+ trinket and feels bad.
It's not BiS without proper moonglaives. 🤷
I saw a priest today who got a trinket that boosted auto attacks
Seal your fate broken on EU?
Only got one out of it this time
Why u guys like jawbone so much?
That comes from the 10k vers right?
Right, sorry
Saw a guy here earlier with a 960 one which had roughly 2k vers per target so was going off of that
Are there any good dps trinkets for AoE with 1min cd?
Most raid trinkets are nerfed for prot. Trying to think of dungeon trinkets that might be good. Shivermaw's is one of the best though
It also doesn't share a cooldown with Diima's so there's that benefit
I don't think so. But there's definitely better legendary options than KJ's
if I use revenge when it have proced do my leggo wrists trigger
Yes
Guardian swear on that DCC from upper kara. But guess it wont have that much impact on prot
DCC?
Dcc is good for Guardian cuz they have leggos that boost arcane damage
And heal you for % arcane and nature as well iirc
Or at least that’s why it’s good for rdruid guardian affinity dps in m+
And ...its agi/int only. Just looked it up. So nvm.
Shivermaw+glaives is pretty nuts
I'll try to get my hands on a higher chronoshard. Even 940 its doable with that setbonus. 😋
30% speedprocs yeah
Is it necessary to have 100% mastery to kill mythic Argus?
hi, just got the leggo gloves, any point in tracking the buff?
sry if question is already asked, but new races would be better for a prot war ? void elf's racial seems to deal much dmg
from what I understand 100% mast is not necessary for mythic argus, but it makes it a hell of a lot easier, and as for tracking glove buff- no, you're not going to wait for autoattacks to shielslam
Highmountain Tauren is probably best from a damage reduction point of view. I haven't looked at alliance races that much cos I don't play alliance
i didnt say but i'm ally :3
DIE ALLIANCE SCUM
I mean, sorry I'm not aware of the alliance racials so can't say which is best
Yeah, but it has 1ppm and lasts 12 sec. Not thaaaaaaat big imo
I think the teleport ability and no spell cast pushback are pretty sweet
35ivl > 2t20 on aoe? just cant imagine how strong 80 rage per 1 minute
Probably ilvl at this point. The 2pc T20 isn't great on it's own but it becomes good with T20 4pc is what I've gathered from people with more experience.
- 1k stam is pretty solid
I have the same neck (right down to normal titanforged to 955) and I'm desperate to replace it with the one from Varimathras. Would definitely take 945 over this 955
935 on this one, mostly for the socket
k
And I feel you on that. Got 980 legs from cache, crit heavy
Definition of mixed emotions right there
No idea, I don't play arms. Don't think they care for crit though but you'd best ask in that channel
They're roughly equal is my understanding. Would have to hit up someone more experienced than me for that one. I'm just busy trying to survive lol
Haste is best stat for dps I can tell you that much
hey, was wondering if someone could explain this as i can't find it on the site: on wowhead i can choose the darkmoon deck: immortality as ilvl 1000, is this a thing now? if yes do i just upgrade a 850 10 times with normal obliterum or does it have to be primal? and is it worth it? haven't been playing since just before then end of ToS
No, it only goes to 900
ah okay
Probably just lets you view what would happen if it went to 1000
Yep yep
Having difficulties explaining to someone why haste is more important than mastery to a degree. He finds it to be somewhat useless and stacks mastery instead.thoughts?
shield block uptime
rage generated
shields slams during battlecry, etc. etc.
that and mastery is really only a mitigation versus physical damage
He is also pulling less dmg at 400k while I hit 850k. He's doing 450k hps I'm at 950k. I'm trying to help him but he is arguing with facts
your build is shit nevermind being double the tank that i am XD
more haste = more rage = more survivability and damage
That's where my stance is but he called me a sheep for looking at the statistics and how people are building for success in mythic prog
when then there's nothing to argue
what fact is he arguing if the fact is that you are basically twice as good as him?
yeah he is just wrong
plus people progressing at cutting edge mythic are stacking mastery anyways
Yeah but that is after hitting specific haste break points at high gear
not really
what are the haste breakpoints
the point of stacking mastery is to reach 100%
so you can ignore certain mechanics
pretty much with desregard to haste
but i dont recommend it unless you know what you are doing
Which bosses work with that??
argus and vari
this is literally the first time i've heard haste breakpoints mentioned in regards to masteyr stacking
so i'm wondering where you pulled it from
And like 970 gear to get that level of stats?
eh more like double trinkets, and t19 2pc so you only need to reach 90%
25% and 50% haste for 5 and 6 shieldslams during battlecry with t21 2 set respectively
^
you still dont have to start stacking mastery after reaching 25%
but generally speaking there is no such thing as too much haste
30-33% feels like a nice sweet spot for uptime for me, would prefer more but... ilvl and stuff
the only point to be stacking mastery is in attempt to reach the block cap for mythic progression, and by the time any normal raider is progressing that far, people will be geared enough that it isnt necesary
960 Juggernaut clock + 930 titanic chest
vs
930 titanic clock + 960 Juggernaut chest
which one is better??
well chest has more stat budget
the former is higher haste, the latter higher stamina
STR is all you really care about
and fwiw, more armor too
thanks! then I see in most time the iLevel is the most noticable stat.
yea, in that example though, ilvl was roughly even, but you gained ilvl in the higher budget piece
but glad to help 😄
last night managed to kill every boss up to and including vari on heroic, AND 3 bosses on normal. in one raid.
one shotted basiclaly everyone
even kingaroth
😄
nice!
we actuallly almost one shot kin'garoth as well
no idea
maybe it's an addon
maybe but like it wasnt like this last night
i hate discords that dont letr you copy/paste images
so like
i never knew how rare it was for discords to let you od that nad now im super thankful this one does
im a little confused atm
i cant concentrate on anyhting tiul i find out why half my quests are pink instead of yellow lol
@prisma crane whats the damage per hit?
haha I just did garothi hc and the rl said he would kick everyone who tiped by stuped fuck then he dies 2 times in a row from fel bombardment and blames it on me becasue im not taunting and that he cant move if he have aggro or something when he is standing still with the debuf xdd
I'm not sure, that was a screenshot from a friend's friend
but it looks like that was the mobs in Kara
it said backup singer, so probably the monster AOE in the seats
it was one cast
so hmm
how many mobs? 30? 50?
even if 50 it's 2m per hit...
Closer to 30 if its only the ones below the boss
Idk what prot paladin mastery does, but I assume they have some extra holy damage done
in artifact or somewhere
yea i figured the same
but still, thats fucked up
i hate that some races are worse than others. like. race should be the one thing you ge tto choose just based on aesthetics
rather than min/maxing
just let us pick the race we think looks coolest !@!
the only thing i hate about it cat is that
Velf racial is also kinda busted
alliance are forever fucked in the raiding scene
doesnt show as much but a 5% damage increase during CD's is super big
agreed, but
you think it's enough to make players stay or move to alliance? because i doubt it
Good movement ability ☑
OP damage ☑
i dont have massive faction pride or w/e, but it's really bad when like 95% of top 100 guilds are horde
Belf silence getting nerfed in BFA ☑
All the "nerf" means is bring more of them
Fair, I can still see alliance being a lot more attractive when it comes to pve racials
it should only silence their primary target
nah, Highmountain Tauren is nutty for progression
top guilds have been horde since forever because they used to have the only racials that do dmg
and it was a massive gap
How is Highmountain tauren nutty for progressing?
2 versa passives
for maybe a tank
i just wanna be as successful as a blood elf or lightforged dranaei even though im a gnome
Yeah, its good for a tank but thats about it
but tanks dont win fights on progression'
the flat damage reduction might as well be forgotten
remember that time you were overkilled by 190k? yea yo didnt die as high mountain
Its only the 1% versa thats relevant
remember that time you wiped to a boss under 2%?
cuz that happens a lot more than overkill by 190k
Remember that time that DPS died to mechanics that require them to move?
Velves got thjat covered if they arent completely braindead
idk, Velf and LFD both sound pretty solid atm
you guys must kill bosses when overgeared, got it.
last night we wiped on vari at 0.5% cause some dps spread a disease, only boss we wiped onj all night
but like i doubt it's enough to move ppl to alli
Its not like tank deaths is the biggest reason for not being able to progress
^ that's the point
there's a reason we're bottom of gear totem pole
maybe that will change in BfA, but as it stands, a buff to tanks isnt as strong as a buff to your dps
particularly in cutting edge progression
feels good to finally be able to use my AP on prot again now that i finsihed fury NLC
nice
last night my power went out like 2 mins after raid ended lol. kept thinking it was gonna go out during raid
got so lucky
is it possible to spell reflect the missiles on shade of medivh in upper kara to give him the debuff?
you can reflect but does he get the debuff?
use arats
i didnt know SR worked that way
oh wow
that's a mistake
ive now iupgraded every warrior leggo to 1000 !! yay
arcane/boomkin/DH all benefit from it
legs are top tier on this boss
and, it's a ton of dmg on the boss
in a 21 fort wk the 3rd set of missiles were hitting for 6m per missile
he melts
didn't we see a lot of prot warriors during mdi on UK ?
if dmg meters picked up SR we'd prob almost always top that fight
ive got shadowmourne, i did chromie scenario, ive upograded everry legendary. im running out of stuff to do
im new to tanking on prot warr and my last warr legendary is akarat so still waiting on it lol
and yea, almost the only time we'd see prot warr were in UK
krotos do wod achievements sooon lol
any other bosses where i can abuse SR?
a fe
few*
but none quite like him
first boss in maw
and yea @junior ivy at some point lol, but atm gonna start a void elf priest for fun
dark slash?
everyones gonna be leveling new races but me
31m is the most i've seen
should try them
once you get the cash for it
um, NL the sunder armor from second boss
and the poison dot from 3rd boss
and the knockback on last boss
sorry to intrude, but does someone have a log of the warrior tank who solo tanked aggramar?
how is it doable
but you'd probably want HR if you're going to do that stupid cheese, but probably dont need it either
If you dont count the adds in intermission it shoudlnt be any big issue at all tbh
yea that's true, and just have a dps tank it and they blow that one up first
i should take back the HR thing too
since
you can recharge during the technique and intermissions
Have done it on normal (but didn't kill),aside from the adds blowing up the raid,the damage was easily manageable.
I think its been done on mythic, but your healers need to be super badass, i know its been done on heroic
idk how to do M Aggramar without BDK easily, much less as a solo tank
i seriously doubt M was soloed
@KrotosTheTank#0075 I believe in you
thanks bossman, but i dont, hah
T'Paartos!
Lol is he cool?
is nightmare egg shell any good?
decent for damage if you get a high ilvl one
between 960 eggshell or 925 with socket chrono
eggshell
cool ty
@dusky sedge i did it
could you link a log?
the first time i did it it wasnt "traditional" solo. the other cotank stood on me but never taunted. we both grabbed seperate adds
why are warrior m+ score that low? does no good player commit to high keys on tank war or what?
last night cotank died and i tanked agg for like half the fight till the end with no one standing on me
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/wdCjfVTKhRWX3LPH#fight=4 heres the last night part
i plan to do afully solo tank next time around
soul of the battlelord or thundergods vigor for optimal DPS in M+?
a super
TGV, no contest @pastel pebble
@shell crypt there are a few that do, but we're deficient relative other tanks
nelt fury 2nd foebreaker
Soul Prob wins on bosses that don't spawn adds and that's about it
soul is a waste
Ye, I'd take Kaku if i was going ST
TGV is a 1k item with STR, ring isnt, plus with T21 you arent weaving anyways
not effectively
I'm not disagreeing, T21 2pc does make Soul much weaker
ive still been weaving since soul was only good prot legendary, how do you use IP and vengeance together in M+ now then? just look at incoming damage and cut back on vengeance when your health starts to drop low?
If you have T21 you dont use Soul at all, at least I dont. The only reason why its in my bags is for my Fury spec.
955 eggshell vs 945 diimas for dps....what you reckon? I'm inclined towards diimas for m+/multi target,eggshell for St
how fast do my armory get updated
yoooooooo guys!!!
fast question: MOUNTAIN TAUREN is better than NORMAL TAUREN as tank??
@fresh dragon play whatever race you like
What sort of content?
for a tank, yes, it's looking like HM is better than base tauren
Goblin is subjectively the best. Sweet sweet rocket jump.
i like NE for when i inevitably rip threat so i can shadowmeld
Also DODGE
for MYTHIC raid
with 10M hp we get 180k damage reduction on everything
dot - hit - aoe
per hit
hello, having the 2 bonuses of the t21, which legendary have to carry? and talent lvl 90?

180k wow
see abve
(unless wowhead is wrong)
Where did that number come from?
Reduces damage taken by (Stamina * 0.0003 * 60).
is the formula
For me at ~968 equipped its 2.7k
its per instance of damage right
Yes, its a flat DR per hit
So if a boss hits you for 2M, it'll do 2M-2.7k if I was highmountain
i wonder if it has strange interactions with things that have a ton of tics over a short time
Completely negligble
Its better for m+, but is so small anyway
The big bonus is from the 1% versa
Relative strength should be the same
Unless they change stamina scaling which I highly doubt
they might change mob's damage scaling
since almost every damage ability is getting the scaling tuned down
hello, having the 2 bonuses of the t21, which legendary have to carry? and talent lvl 90?
90 is the BV one right?
Gloves+bracers for survivability and BV
gloves and either bracers or belt
some day i'll get a Diima
Still not a single one that has dropped
Ring?
Rugged Tenacity - Reduces damage taken by 1.8% of stamina.
so...
if i have 10M
1.8% is 180k
@timid jay no?
Thats not stamina
thats health
Big difference
at 968 equipped I have 154,591 stamina
180k DR would be disgusting
well it'll likely be better in BfA
i doubt stam will still be 60hp per point
but it wont be broken, it's just a racial
dunno but as now its way more better
Most ppl go HMT for the 1% stam tho right
Endurance of tauren
1% vers
1% versa
Meh i find the HP for normal taurens useless tbh
i heard the verse bonus is bugged on live atm
Elaborate Keladan 😮
gives 1% of your verse instead of an additional 1% verse
im not too impressed with the highmountain racials honestly
good
horde dont need more reasons to be horde lol
they already win racial games
maybe now we can be closer, but i still doubt it
well atm Lightforged Draenei is recking with their racials right? atleast prot palas.
just prot pally afaik
because of their artifact
wouldnt surprise me if they nerf it just for them for now
only secondaries right?
yeah. granted its class based
I know shadow priests like it for getting 16k haste xD
Crit is parry right?
yeah
super worth
that's why im going all crit
i think i can break 40% crit
this game wants me to anyways
that said, i bet for pure AoE it wouldnt be that bad
I mean, ravager is pretty good I hear
It really does increase overall damage when you use the helm with Ravager. For whatever reason I doubted it'd work lol
yea, it works, and movement speed 👌
coin and M+ cache
i have plenty of non-crit gear
but my bigger forges, all crit
wtf
that or
if i get another pair of gloves from weekly
i might kill someone
I got 980 legs from cache. Crit heavy
yea same, but chest piece
and 980 kingaroth ring
ripperino
i just need a 980 tier chest like... COSMO
It was a massive item level upgrade over my scrub 935's so had to take it
Sad thing is, I don't think I can replace them anymore.
Maaaaaybe I'll get lucky from the cache but it's unlikely the Argus legs will titanforge that high. It's also unlikely I'll get those legs since prot is my offspec
i lost the 975 legs from heroic argus to someone who doesnt raid a lot iwth us 😦
eh
You know what actually sucks? Never getting Bastion Relics or having them not NLC
I was kidding btw
the fucker (LC dude) saw my big T20 legs and thought i wouldnt want them, like bro, if i had those legs i'd drop T20 yesterday
I try not to let gear get in the way of raiding
I've had to explain why I use T20 sometimes and why not. I've got pretty understanding officers.
Lost a 945 or whatever cap was in ToS Battle Cry relic to a hunter
But on the other hand, I always get trinket priority cos they see my 875 CoF and are like wtf, give this guy a fucking trinket
Hey em, quick question: Diima or Conviction as a trinket?
both are solid
Both?
