very considerate of you
My bad. It lagged
I raid only as far as curve so haven't experienced true pain in a while. Too old and busy to dream of cutting edge again. First few mythic bosses are fine and fun but that's as far as it goes. .
I'm enjoying arms atm. Fury looks amazing but I don't want to go farm another cof.
This Discord on mobile always lags 
hello friends. Has there been a discussion in this channel about the highmountain tauren racial rugged tenacity? I have 2 questions. 1. does the damge reduction apply to every source, tick, swing, aoe, etc. of damage and 2. is the reduction applied AFTER mitigation?
The 1% verse is the better racial.
^
So would Tauren still be the ideal Race due to Slight Hp Increase? or its just preference.
which race got 1% vers?
Highmountain Allied race
The Stam from OG Tauren isn't that much. It's almost not perceivable. π
is there any racial Passive thats very valuable to the Prot warrior?
besides, everyone knows dwarfs have the best racials
Goblin master race reporting in π
interesting thank you:D
any warrior here that has gotten the prot hidden artifact?
Most of us I'd guess
Against other classes, how hard would 11/11 M Be for Antorus?
Considering Most people wont take a warrior, other than Vari fights.
is there a way to check if you've already missed the scream for the hidden artifact?
Which are the best Legendary for M+?
what are marks of honour good for if you already bought every pvp appearajce set?
appearance
Belt @hybrid dagger
what in the 2nd slot?
Wrists / legs for surv, hands for dps
ahh thanks! so belt and hands would be a good comp?
legs are only useful in certain situations
since atm im using Wrist and belt
Wrists if youre a pussy
SeemsGood
Depends on high the key is tho cus if you're doing 20+ the mobs live long enough for legs to be useful
but from 10-15 belt and hands should be good enough?
Y
yeah i got 4pc 2pc atm so i can see its in the way

π
sorry about that
dmd=Darkmoon Deck? ;o
yes
ty
how much IL is worth giving up for the T20 4piece
defensively, beleive it's around 30 I'll a slot? or have we changed that?
offensively, 2p t21 and ilvl
Any opinion on neck enchant for prot if you're aiming for dps and not survivability
hidden satyr
@ember arrow Which pantheon? Khaz'Goroth?
the tank one ofcourse
aman'thuls, tank one is trash
can someone tell me why the rl wanted a dd to tank one of the bosses on coven
tank one is good
@sick sentinel shadow bitch doesnt melee
so no need to let bosses walk near each other and both tanks can stay at fire
is it common to do it that way oin heroic coven?
Devastator or Indominable?
devastator
Im actually on Antorus HC
never indomitable
never
never never never never never
never
antorus hc on 960, if ur not bottom of dmg taken, ur doing it wrong
Legendaries for raiding are soul and hands?
handsare bis for dps
really good for surv too single target
u cant generate too much rage
but you cant use them if youre using 4pc/2pc tier combo
unless ur too slow pressing IP
i use wrists and gloves, cause all i use is t21 2pc
and i love the wrists/gloves combo β€
So dont use soul?
or 4pt21 with wrists/hands
yup
And go vengeance talent with that comp and devastate?
So how good are warrior tanks right now
For t21, yes
@polar atlas good, but punishing if u fuck up
If you dont have t21 2p then vengeance will be stronger than BV
(unless its AoE and you have TGV)
thanks @ember arrow
Anyone have opnions on having more than 25% haste or is it worthless to go higher?
there is no minimum or max haste
More is better but not worth sacrificing ilvl
whered u get 25% from
I could Obv. be wrong, but was reading 25% was needed for 5 SS's in Battle cry rotation
well yea but thats no reason to not go higher
I got 28% haste, 53% mastery and 16% vers, is that good?
I would try to exchange vers for haste if I was you
^ generally yes, but dont sacrifice ilvl to do so
in mythic+ is the t20 4 t21 2 still used
if you're smashing low keys and don't care about survivability i'd drop t21 2pc on trash packs so you can get as many revenges into bc
that's assuming your t21 is worse than your offpieces
in general
I cant exchange vers for more haste sadly
I know this is a weird question because I can't find any resources for it- What are some good dps trinkets for a prot warrior? If I'm doing something like tanking m+ and it's a bit lower than I normally do, or farming raid content and I want a bit more dps
Or am I better off making spec changes and compensating with defensiev trinkets?
hey, is the bastion of aspects relic trait better than ilvl and if so how much? I have a couple of relics which are an Ilvl upgrade but with suboptimal traits. The ones I'm using are with BiS traits (+armor/+block% or +IP/+block)
Generally you never change you talents much
As long as you have t21 2p you'll always run deva/am/BV anyways so talent changes will bring you little to no dps. As for trinkets, the easily farmable ones are chronoshard and memento
The tanking pantheon trinket is quite good for damage as well with its high str and versa uptime
@white stream I'd rather have 900 ilvl relics with bastion than 985 without defensively
No question about it
Yeah, I would never replace a bastion relic
ah okay
You block more damage
ive replaced a relic with bastion, for a relic 5 ilvls higher that didnt have bastion
...
and DEed the bastion one
or wait
they are destroyed
i knew i didnt have it anymore
I would agree it's by far the best talent, however I wouldn't agree that an 85 (relic) ilvl difference is worth less
Ilvl matters very little for survivability
The armor and stamina bonuses compared to bastion are extremely small
I have 1 with shit traits and its 13 weapon ilvl above my current one and at some point it kind of has to be better thats why im asking
(Speaking weapons here)
I'm definitely in the camp that bastion is invaluable defensively
It reduces the damage you take by a huge amount
i currently have bastion on2 trinkets
i coulda had 3
i mean 2 relics
whats a good blood relic with bastion?
Most of it is just farming relics and hoping NLC will give you one
Only bastion base relic that drops in Antorus is from kin'garoth and thats a iron one iirc
i think the only blood one is from kiljaeden
only other from raid is the one from Kil'jaeden in tomb
like even a base 940 from m+ with bastion on the nlc will see you through until bfa
easily
Im still running my 940 blood relic from KJ
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Got a iron relic with MoS and bastion, so thats highly unlikely to ever be replaced this expansion
7/7 bastion and revenge is the DREAM right there
The question is, how are your relics on your druid π
i have a 915 iron with bastion vs 960 with only dmg traits π
sup fellow prots π
π
kinda happy with my own WA now :D, all I need to learn now is my freakin cds hahaha
@undone sun Still using an all sub-920 relics on druid, including an 890 life relic π
So, Bastion relics or bust? Literally ilvl doesnt matter?
Defensively, yes
for those relics?
Ideally (in a lot of people's opinions), Bastion+Revenge are the best relics
Guys I can't decide if I want to reroll my warrior as a HMT or a DID after expansion drops D:
that's a simple horde vs alliance question
It would be simple, except I already play both D:
lol
so, i need clarification please cause it's hard to fathom (not really but like, im just confused i guess)
Clarification is my middle name
bastion for purely surv purposes is only outclassed by another higher bastion, yes
Correct sir.
me personally, i would take the 985 unless it was total shit
but, again, if all you want to do is not die, take the bastion, all day
Yeah, I would take the 985 if it was that substantial of a difference lol
But that seems like an unlikely scenario to me
Helm?
Shoulder + Gloves
Shoulder doesn't have any benefit for DPS or defense
^
should it be bracers then?
It's a novelty legendary, useful only in extreme kiting situations or for fun
bracer + gloves?
That's a solid combo
Bracers are by far the strongest leggo for survivability
gloves + bracer/belt is almost my only combos
I guess I need to ask a follow up. How bad is it that Idont have any BotA relics? I have 960, 965, 970 with a mix of defensive and offensive traits
for surv, you're missing out on a lot
Not the end of the world
but, yes, not the end of the world
@Cosmo#1069
that said, if you went from 4/7 to 7/7 you'd take literally half the dmg you do now from a crit block
meaning your IP is effectively twice as powerful too
?
you'd also take almot 10% less dmg from all standard blocks
i feel so inept lol
Cosmo responds to tags that aren't even legitimate tags
He even got the numbers right
Probably mobile lag
@merry cave You wanted something?
Is it going well for you?
The fail is strong
kingaroth and kj thats it for BotA ? REEEE
Yeah, you're far more likely to get it via T3 roll
IIRC I believe I've seen it on a WQ relic too
A lot of WQ relics in argus do have bastion
all iron afaik right?
oh yea
AM or HR?
nice π
i take that back, sometimes HR in pvp
that was pre t21 2pc no?
lol
HR is literally only used at this point to cheese trivial solo tanking
quick skirmishes in battlegrounds don't last long enough for you to get 2 uses of your defensive CDs out with AM
more burst with SS
who palys prot in pvp
not many, but it's possible
i thoguht u meant duels
no, instanced pvp
if you somehow get lumped into 2 tank CTF
in wpvp you'd go full pve build
warrior is the best escort spec in the game
unless they move outa the really small range
you can recast it
wud avatar be beter for burst on argus elites?
Avatar is what, 20% for 15 seconds?
@timid jay no, no idea how I pocket tagged you sorry
20 sec
Eh, I can't see it. Maybe if there were others helping you, but if you were solo I think it's gonna be Renewed Fury
assuming 100% uptime RF
I mean, I always do WQGF for the rares anyway so
with avatar maybe can make it 4.something
argus rares have 100-150m hp
Or I use my warframe
the first 20 seconds is nothing compared to the grand scheme of the fight
π No block sucks right?
Once you get higher ilevel (more haste), it becomes a lot more tolerable because you'll just Death Strike and be full health again
Whereas at lower haste levels you don't always have a DS when you really want a DS
π€’
but ye 900 ilvl
I have like 52 with Marrowrend. It's glorious.
But I'm also 958
So
I was actually at 19-21% all the way up to like 943 equipped
That was shit
lol, yeah but once you get some haste, you get vamp blood like 30-35 sec CD with red thirst
It's awesome
lol
in a way, with bracers, it does
not 55% more healing taken
um
that shit is epic
meaning 70% more healing from stones, and VR too, yea
btw, want me to blow your mind, indom for pvp too lol
though you can go deva, either is fine
I tanked a Arcway+2 on alt and during last phase last boss when everyone went to spirit world MY screen turned pink. Its never happened on main tank before . Does anyone know why ?
never heard of that one
sounds unrelated to tanking, and yea new to me π¦
i couldnt see
Did you remove your rose tinted glasses?
one thing i wonder about bfa
without bracers
will our survplummet?
i mean try progressing without them and with them
alpha
we will be on our toes even more reactivbe
wrists wont save from oneshots
thats not their purpose
i dont worry i will need to time
Who knows, maybe they add a talent or baseline e but being alpha there's going to be a lot of changes
π€· I don't disagree, defensviely they're stupid strong but until it gets to beta/RC it's way too early to tell
Hell, if theres something I want baseline. Its devastator or t21 2p
i want wrists baseline
Yup
or belt
B&
Thereβs a lot of things you donβt track that youβll miss, like might of the vrykul too!
Bastion
AAAAAAAA
π
Spell reflect traits hahahahaha
They better make gleaming scales and whatever the first SR trait is baseline
nah
reflect 1 spell
bears will get somethign like
regen 100% of dmg taken in past 5 minutes
i can see it coming
If sr dr just dies after accidentally reflecting a spell in a dungeon or something
Jesus that will suck
Yeh
what do u mean
Spell reflect was only active until it reflected something until you got that trait, without the trait in BFA, it'll go back to how it was unless they change it baseline
removing artifacts basically makes most classes's expansion progress useless
Theyβll have to just choose what they put in baseline
I think spell reflect trait is a really good candidate for that but itβs upto blizz not me
I agree
Gloves belt is only required for dps parsing not progression
oh
Tanks donβt Dd tanks tank
what would you use for progression then
Prydaz voot
cozen pls
Move out of fire faster βΏ
used to be bracers/soul defensively but t21 dropped the value of vengeance significantly
Boots shoulders BiS? Less time in fire
twf?
the walls fel
the walls fell
oh
The shield slam/wall ring
Ignore me btw listen to the yellow
rip cozen's yellow
yours too
At least the Doyn is green in our hearts β€
How many people are in this discord? I see about 20,000 online at all times
jesus
Wonder how many have 0 posts 
a lot
sure friendo
PM, if possible, to not spam lol
dreamgrove has 90k π€
This whole channel is bascially about helping people
too many druids
Wont be considered spam π
o okie
so, my guild and I did uhm Heroic portal keeper last night, and I am a warrior tank (of course), my guildies had just assisted me with talent edits & i had editted my bars to go with these changes. little rocky, I have more issue than most with changes like that so i was having a hard time but eventually could kind of get it. BUT, i for some reason kept dying about 50-40% boss health merely due to a hard hit. I'm 941 ilvl btw.
my guildy told me to use SHield Block 100% of the time, even if i wasnt active tanking (which reading the guides here say the opposite)
You have any logs for us to take a look at?
And no, theres no reason to use shield block if you're not getting hit
hum.. lemme look at guild channel to see if they posted the logs.
ahh, okay. that';s what i thought and what my old guild told me.
(Its a slight dps boost but I guess that isnt what you're looking for)
What talents did he tell you to use?
Well they told me to do it due to slight threat ripping issue but
You ripping threat I hope?
No, the other tank ripping from me.
Skada: Damage taken for Portal Keeper Hasabel: 01:24 (5 Min 47 Sec):
- Levay 310.81M (898305.6, 20.1%)
- Dabi 94.25M (272390.2, 6.1%)
- Wit 88.10M (255363.6, 5.7%)
- Wlz 86.15M (248264.9, 5.6%)
- Levko 82.73M (239094.5, 5.4%)
this is dmg profile of pug hc portal keeper
That begs me to ask the question again, what talents did he tell you to use?
We dont have logs from last night - did not kill the boss.
was a bad night lol...
uhmmmmmmmm
You can still log wipes, can be very helpful π
i asked them if they have them π
prolly not.
but like i said, i didnt have a ripping issue last night.
just.. a dying issue...
Still, just telling me what talents you're running can help
which i guess was because i was using Shield Block for extra dmg not as active tank.
kay sec π
watching my mischevious ferrets so trying to juggle this while keeping them outta trouble rip.
so here it is

i believe thats it
;cant log on rn cus on a laptop not my desktop (':
i donntt think so
i have a 4 piece of something...
not sure what but they were from antorus i believe
me, a stupid noob
Whats the set called?
dont laugh at me k
unsure ;_; cant log on.
my character has a special character so
Could you type it out? Could see if I can dig out some logs and I might be able to help you better
Can PM it to me if you dont want it here
google lol
Hereβs a better question
i have an escapee on my hands
When you cast battle cry, do you notice whether shield slam is always available during battle cry?
Hi Cozen
yah
Ok you have juggernaut then
(thats t21)
Yes
π
BROTHERMAN BILL
Since you dont have logs, how does a normal opener look like for you when you start tanking a boss?
Yeah, what cooldowns and abilites do you use at the start, and in what order
charge, thunderclap, shield slam, shield block. sometimes i swap shield slam and shield block placement cus i get overhwlemed LOL
i get overwhelmed by 4 butotns π’
go me
You do want to use shield block before shield slam, but thats mainly for a minor DPS increase
okay- only when actively tanking the boss though, yes?
Ok if you donβt like buttons, make macros then
If you're looking for DPS logs then it can be worth it while not actively tanking. But thats beside the point now
i use f1-f4 and 1-4 for my main stuff π
its not hard im just stupid
idc about DPS logs
i just want to live.
and not get threat ripped- which hasnt been an issue last night though.
Make sure when you taunt you have a shield slam to hit during the taunt buff
no, they didn't post them last night and i don't keep my own.
Itβll help get you a buffer on threat
last stand is the bonus health increase right?
Yes
Yea
if so, i use that when im about to die.
Big boy hp b00st
Use it more often
shield wall.. what is that?
Might be some older logs we can sift through if we know your characters name
40% DR
sinceeee. Wrath beginning
Wtf lol
i started tanking last expansion and did awesome.
seriously
i took a year hiatus idk
2 weeks before ZA opened up in BC, GIVE OR TAKE
Ok are you specβed into demoralizing shout as well?
u need 1 hour to learn abilities
LOL
thne few days to elarn rotation
yah.
monkaS
lemme get my characters name for yah..
For starters, with the current playstyle for prot warriors you want to be using battle cry and demoralizing shout on cooldown
And during battle cry you basically just spam Shield slam
And ignore pain just not to cap on rage
Yes
That should solve your threat issues at the very least
so im on Tichondrius and its either KΓ¬lljoy or KΓlljoy
Iβm on tichondrius as well
i use shout on cooldown yes
yah
thats my beautiful man
(':
doesnt show my gear
drats
i need to do that shit myself
π
oh it did
i have two more
but
havent unlocked the second slot.
im almost there lol..
I updated it
Which ones do you have as well?
hng
i couldnt tell you- cannot log on on this computer & im watching my ferrets. i know i have some legendary boots
i can tell ya'll later
when i log on
Aggramarβs
Aight np
What else
Rofl
You just changed talents for that attempt on portal keeper?
All the logs I find you're running different talents, might be able to gleam something from that anyway though
to be honest, i forgot talents existed LMAO i had levelling talents before that.
uh
guild poked me about it last night.
but that's right.
this is supposed to be a nice community don't laugh at me π
maybe go brush up on some basics first
i have little time LOL
Ok if youβre experiencing spike damage
And you have the shield wall LEGO ring, that may help you
The wrist LEGO is more for sustained damage
none of this matters
wrist is my current equip?
okie.
Ok kenzer if big@dapper pond hitting you then shield block up, if block is up and you have extra rage use ignore pain
i'm just looking for help on my rotations & what not Mac π¦
Use shield slam as much as possible
You have 3 damage reduction cooldowns or abilities
i've done guide research today
yes but before that, you need to look at some basic stuff
before coming here
Demoralizing shout shield wall and nelths ruins fury
so i'm in tune with talents shit
If you forgot talents existed, I refuse to believe you looked at a guide
..i did today?
How often do you use nelth fury? (Artifact)
hmm..
Last stand isnβt a damage reduction cooldown but it gives you BIG hp
when i know i dont have to move for anything & ive got rage saved up for some IP
So itβs a good cooldown
otherwise i barely touch it.
What do you mean, when you don't have to move
Spell reflect is 50% dr so itβs sick
like if there's no AOE i have to move from
They got a handy guide that shows what it works on
why can't you use ignore pain whilst moving?
they're talking about the articfact
heβs talking about the artifact
as am i
Not ignore pain
Are you familiar with secondary stat prioritization for port war?
Prot*
that's not comparatively important in the slightest
Macrologia im asking him in general get off my ass

stats are something you should completely ignore whilst you focus on learning how to play
For responding? Lol go ahead
no i'm not going to ban you
Kappa
@pulsar mortar Some things I found while looking at older logs at least is that you dont seem to prioritize shield slam
While Battle cry is up you have no cooldown on shield slam except the global cooldown and you should keep spamming shield slam, getting rage is one of the most important parts for our survivability
ah yes- i literally changed my talents last night
Yeah, but that doesnt change that
to help shield slam be up a lot
That bonus is from the tier set, that you had before
o. i thought I had prioritized it when it was up- i knew it was a super valuable skill!
i'll keep my eye on that though, if it appears i haven't been.
Just an example
You use battlecry at around 6.5 seconds into the fight, it lasts for 5 seconds
mm okie
So ideally it should be 5 seconds of only shield slam spam and ignore pain so you do cap on rage
Now that you are playing devastator though, having a good priority of skills will help you a lot
alright. ill be more focused on using it.
Basically your number one important thing to do is keeping shield slam on cooldown, any defensive ability you have (except NF) isnt even on the global cooldown so you can safely keep generating more rage
More rage is more ignore pain and shorter cooldowns with anger management
okay. thank you for all your help, hopefully i can execute all of this correctly in quick time
quick question what do i want to use as a neck enchant?
Heavy hide for defense and hidden satyr for damage
I switched from heavy hide to satyr after my current content was on farm
@pulsar mortar As you said you probably already know it, but your % of blocked attacks is really low on some bosses
Especially for the big tank abilites that you really want to block
Its worht mentioning anyway since good shield block usage is very important for us
But read through the pinned guide, focus on your rotation and good shield block usage and you should be seeing a lot better results
okay! that's the plan π thank you very much
i'll hope back here i suppose if i fail more.
Does it matter how far the 'on-tank' is from Aggramar?
If you mean for the cleaving part of the ability, he just needs to be closest to the guy with threat afaik
yup
There is range on it but it shouldnt ever be a issue
only really if you're positioning the boss, both tanks have to be near each other
have had it happen a couple times on some wipes, cotank didn't follow me close enough so our dps warrior's got flattened
Should have used DBTS
Oh so the important part is how far the off-tank is from on-tank, not from Aggramar, right?
yes
Then I shouldnt be on the back of Aggramar before the tesharak technic
No, move one he starts casting the foe breaker
Dont want to give your co-tank the double hits
Thanks. Totally thought wrorng π
lul. Poor lil monk
Yeah you can say magic mitigation this tier is somewhat unbalanced lol
I'm just being stupid. Stagger can only take you to 1 HP. It's still basically dying from it; it's just that something else besides Stagger has to hit you for that 1 HP
the aura
Yeah
1 hp is as good as dying
It is. Like I said, just being stupid.
Though tbh, I've survived on my brewmaster a few times at 1 HP lol
Have that oh fuck moment and chi torpedo away before the next melee
Yeah, it's terrifying sometimes lol
But it's crazy how stupid powerful it is
Basically immortal for the duration
i meant on dk
i did tichondrius he did his 1B dmg to everyone
tank got 1B purgatory
had 2.8mil hps that fight
in NH mythic
tank didnt pick up an orb
they made it so purgatory has a max now i think
wasnt like that back then
Yeah it's 200% of max health
Most of the cheat death type things got that limit put on them
Does overhealing count for the heal absorb?
no it was his death strike
What
it was like 300 mil or 250
His death strike was 250 mil? π
My co-tank during ToV was a DH and we had one wipe where it was already called out for a wipe, and he got hit by a 5 stack of Odyn's mega aoe. He did like 80% of healing in that fight
healing
Jesus
Because of last resort
Lawl
Purgatory makes me nervous
I don't run it
I think they changed all cheat death mechanics to a max of 200% of your max health
its spooky how screen goes all black
Well the thing is that too many healers don't know they have to heal you after that (assuming you don't have a DS ready)
It should go spooky, the moment purg procs it's instant panic
So you end up dying a few seconds later anyway
I'd run it more if I was doing real keys with a static group probably
Last Resort is so freaking smooth that most of the time I don't even notice it procced
I just assume it was another random meta proc
Then I look at my debuffs and see that 8 minutes lol
Make a WA that tells you, when you get a LR proc?
Yeah, that's probably not a bad idea
Just have big red letters saying you suck at the top of my screen or something
Or maybe just let LR icon plop up for a moment
Or make it quit your game
"You suck" is never a lie ;p
Lol, weakaura that does /camp when LR procs
how does a warr die on 3 stacks on hc argus
I did ;p
i paly risky game
18 stacks
wit 60%
gotta pray to RNG gods
after 9 stacks i expected to die
for 9 stacks
no
if u dont critblock u get hit for 17 mil
if u do u get hit for 200k
thats my experience
3 stacks seems obnoxiously low to die to, was his shield block button broken maybe? haha
AM with 100% mastery is so incredibly dangerous on argus
you could have like 30% mastery and not die at 3 stacks even if you window lick your way there. wtf is wrong with that dude. was it phase 4 when everything is getting wonky maybe?
I have so little SB uptime, it is horrible
p4
ah yeah he probably turned his wheelchair around and got hit in the back. its my only thought. thats stupid lol
π
Anyone here soaked 2nd bridge as a prot warrior on Imonar mythic?
I'm doing that for us
Do you clear the whole path?
Or do you devide it up?
I'm having issues staying alive once I'm across.
I get boped at the start
Pop a skystep potion and sr
Around the midpoint I ls/sw and clear the rest
Leap back or portal and get inside a shaman ress totem
π€
Sounds painful -_- that's our next boss
It's not too bad
As long as the shaman ress totem is up it's fine
Would recommend having dh's do it instead if you have 2 though
We only have one unless we get an alt in
You guys go war first rhen?
guy leaves group 3 bosses into arcway +16
ughhhhhhhh
just wasted like 30 mins i nthere i guess
Might be possible, we've never bothered to try though
I'm thinking about Smoldering
If i can use that after when I'm waiting for the raid to go across
Shouldn't Smoldering be an option then?@timid jay
block exploit weakness, pop mines to keep the expired amount at a minimum but don't get too many stacks
I've never popped mines before
Is there an optimal time to do that? And is it any old mines or just ones in the way
we just do it when we aren't actively tanking and theres less than 3 stacks
expose weakness stacks?
no, the mines
each time a mine explodes it puts a debuff on the raid, stacking
Oh i didnt see anything about stacking debuffs in the adventure guide
I"ll be sure to look out for that
I'm a bit torn between DMD:I and diima's for this fight. This will actually be my first mythic boss so the damage intake is not something im familiar with
So im considering using DMD just to smooth out damage overall
I think Diima's would be a good choice since you're not taking consistent damage unless there's something about mythic I don't know (possible) but Diima's would probably have decent use for add damage + the armor for 2nd expose weakness should make a big difference. Let one of the actual mythic raiders confirm that though, since I have zero experience.
Not sure if 2nd expose would line up with diima's or not
And expose is blockable so I imagine Nelth's would make it a joke anyway
Er, exploit
I hadn't really considered the extra add damage from Diimas
I'll give it a shot and try to line it up with second exploit weakness and see how it goes
Its a shame i cant run diimas and DMD
π
Using pantheon in 2nd slot?
yeah
Yeah that's a bummer, but it's helpful for your raid! π
When is my raid helpful to me though!?
When they proc that pantheon full heal when you're at max health, obviously
gotta top those overhealing charts
Damn straight
i got nothin to do in wow
alt. meh. i dont do alts really π¦ i wanna do some achievem,ents i guess
time to raid mythic catfriend
if only i wasnt on the worst realm ever lol
When I have nothing to do on WoW, I get off WoW
@junior ivy Go find a DHT or Seat key and get those out of times off of your page
Itβs better than mine, I still havenβt done a seat key since 7.3.2
I haven't done a seat key since...it existed π
I'm up to 3 runs on heroic though! πͺ
same
i actually like it
The place isnβt as bad as people make it out to be for sure
I donβt like it though
It's not really that I'm scared of it or anything. I just do higher keys than I'm comfortable starting out at on that particular dungeon
And haven't really made a point to join something lower to try it out
I've watched enough tutorial videos and PoVs to know how to do it though, when the time comes lol
seat trash is scary but the bosses dont seem toooo bad as long as everyomne in your group isnt blind on last boss
just take boomkins and warlocks ;D
Any advice on tanking mythic fel-hounds?
make sure you have block up for every maw
its magic damge, but its blockable
spell reflect also helps
blockable magic dmg, whaaat
I can imagine necrotic on 2nd boss to be pretty bad. I had pretty consistent melees on me even on heroic with only 2 of the bosses
i guess
@delicate urchin there have been other instances of blockable magic damage before like mistress eels
if you leap out you can drop stacks on second boss, but it's a pain
but really, on super high keys the last boss is terrible, and in rough keys the 3rd boss is rough to kill the 2 adds in time while also doing the tenticles
yeah once you get high enough you have to have someone save a cds for them but that can put you behind on tenticals
DKs make it a lot easier, can grip the two adds together at least
this is true, do knockbacks work on them? havent tested that but I knew the grips worked
oh, idk, it should work, so i guess a druid would be good too
Grips and knockbacks are the same immune class I think. So if you can grip it, you can knock it back
we had a priest healer the other day doing a high key and I wanted to test him using his knock back on me, knocking them back back like 20 yards lol
giving us more time to kill them
Oh yeah with that blast of light or whatever talent?
we use that on Aggramar lol
I saw a priest using that on Aggramar and I was like wtf, how did that DK just knock mobs back XD
yeah, we never got to try it tho, he was always to busy trying to not let people die
I didn't even know that talent existed
xD
me neither
But yeah id be curious to see if pulling it far away would make it take longer for the phase to happen
ofc, but the adds make him immune :p after they run to him. unless they adds have unlim range, but just run for show
super range would make it interesting...
but in a fun cheesy world. the boss casts the spell anyways while the adds are running to the boss, and you kick before the shield π
HIGHLY doubt it but ya know
inb4 new MDI strat
man I really wanna make a team for it even if we dont get that far, I know a lot of decent plays that do m+ for fun now and then
it
There's more teams this time right?
it'd be neat to make it on the test realm
but you better be damn good to make it beyond that as a prot warr only
teams are going to be much more well prepared this time around
Im fury/prot in 20-23 keys pugging mostly
Think I could take it higher if I had a solid group but dont sadly
protection warrior is it good for mythic plus and if bigger +15 keys is good?
Anything can tank up to 20 without much hassles at least
Prot war does fine @ +15
any tank can do at least a 15, pushing more depends on the player than the class
find your limits, most trash can be kited with a nice corruption slow ring
Hey guys would [Fel-Oiled Infernal Machine] serve as a great "Stat stick"?
its on sue haste on a 1.15 timer
gives a shit ton fo haste can be timed durign BC
its good as a dps trinket, as it doesnt share cds with other trinkets
so you can stack trinkets with it
I mean, the on-use haste could be nice for BC, IF it gives you an extra GCD. Otherwise it's not any better than a stat stick, and frankly I'm not a fan of just stat use effects, so I'd probably use a stat stick over it.
I totally rock it with my jawbone π 25% increase dmg during the whole thing, mmm but I have a heroic version and thats it lol
or a diinerbell, be the same thing almost
I'd say spec matters more-so only after 21/22
iirc i went through the top raider io runs, saw the first warrior at rank 446 for tanks
even then every tank can do 24/25 but doing 24-28 is another ball game
taking a warr tank is giving up aoegrip leech or bops sacs hand of the protector or insane cc from dh
its hard to justify a warr tank when others are available
dh has good damage from spiritbomb too
warrior tank would be good on HoV as you tank the trash by kiting it xD
:/
and then safeguard for the hard boss machanics
The highest key a prot warrior has done is a 25 BRH
Do Prot warrior have any Netherlight String ?
dont think so, but the guide in the pins will give you some base numbers to compare with
and get a general understanding of it, and then take off what you want
def or attack
anyone know how long exactly you have to protect illidan in Cath at the end?
So, having read the guides, got a question about haste and heavy repercussions vs t20x4+t21x2
Is it still worth trying for the 30% haste "breakpoint" if you aren't even going to be running heavy rep because of the set bonuses, and if not, does mastery become more powerful?
no im saying if its done perfectly how long does it last >.> I know the dungeon that much.. :p @sick sentinel
@rocky tiger Ignore the 30% "breakpoint" because it's not a thing anymore, even with Heavy Repercussions. The 100% uptime mark on HR is like 35-40%. That being said, Anger Management offers vastly more benefits because you don't actually need 100% uptime on Shield Block.
Awesome. Is there a good range to shoot for or just keep with the haste->mastery priority?
ilevel>haste>mastery
Except for the 4x t20 slots obviously
I'm only progressing through heroic antorus atm so likelihood of getting mythic level gear in those slots is low
Don't have any atm
Going to go back and get some heroic tomb. Done though.
Mythic might be a struggle for my guild
