#

rogue*

long bronze
#

Enhance cosmo

wet hornet
#

Guess you havent been in their pvp channel

junior ivy
#

they got mad at me for not understanding everything about rogue

long bronze
#

Back in to at least

wet hornet
#

Fukken barren

junior ivy
#

and that was when i was lucky enough to get a respoinse

#

i had more luck asking rogue questiosn in here than in rogue discord

long bronze
#

It's funny if you actually don't need anything out of it though

timid jay
#

Most discords are just a place to talk shop nowadays

junior ivy
#

id be a terrible warrior tank if it wsnt for skyhold

#

id be using indomitable and ravager

#

and never ever shield blocking

long bronze
#

But max dps

#

Need Dat 30%

#

Man now I want an actual shop talk discord

#

You think rogue discord is bad lol

junior ivy
#

i even find this discord way beter than the ask-for-help channel in the main wow discord.

#

i get answers here so much faster lol

winter frost
#

do prot warriors care about crit?

slate obsidian
#

zulul no

#

prot warriors only care for MEMES

winter frost
#

i mean is there a percentage that i should aim for or just ignore it

timid jay
#

Crit is really bad for us

slate obsidian
#

oh yeah and haste is pretty good

timid jay
#

Its something to avoid

#

When possible

junior ivy
#

youll inevitably end up with some crit

#

but dont try to get it

winter frost
#

okay, cause in prot form im only 16% crit lol

junior ivy
#

im at 16% too

#

and only 20% haste omg i suck

#

igot soo much mastery lol

timid jay
#

In a ideal world, you'll have 0% crit

#

It does almost nothing for us

winter frost
#

my haste is in the 30%

long bronze
#

Avoid crit but typically not at the loss of significant ilvl unless on jewelry then you can sacrifice about 20 ilvl to avoid crit

junior ivy
#

yopure already better off than me then

#

youre*

winter frost
#

does anyone know if I have to complete the rage tower on my warriors across all realms to unlock the appearance for BFA or can I just do it on 1 warrior and it will be available for all my warriors later on?

wet hornet
#

You want high crit in next patch

#

They are gonna add spell parry

timid jay
#

๐Ÿค”

#

@winter frost I'm going to guess its enough on one warrior, dont think blizzard has said anything specific about that

#

Most likely wait closer to BFA for a answer

junior ivy
#

you have more than one warrior?

wet hornet
#

It has to be only one

#

Has to be

long bronze
#

I have two but the second is a bank bitch lol

#

The warrior I play today is the same once I've had since BC. Poor guy has been to like 6 servers at this point

#

I have Jin Rohk in my bank :grin:

wet hornet
#

Lucky fucker

#

Best looking sword in the game

prisma crane
#

i have 2 prot warriors at 110 lol

#

one horde one alliance, havent touched the horde one in ages, still only like 925 or something from ToS

#

has the CM weapon though, so much easier around 918 than it was at 907

wet hornet
#

I have my vanilla warrio

#

Kinds regret selling so much stuff on him

long bronze
#

Heard that

wet hornet
#

He had original argent dawn tabard

long bronze
#

Never gonna get that epeen back

prisma crane
#

yea so did i ugh

#

i just hated tabards forever so i got rid of most of it

long bronze
#

Oh I have that

prisma crane
#

i still have my trinket though

#

and the AV trinket

#

hp5!

long bronze
#

I have some necrotic runes in my bank

#

Is that the tabard you mean?

timid jay
#

Is that the tabard with a use effect?

stark sage
#

yeah

#

argent dawn tabard

#

err

#

the one from wotlk

timid jay
#

I have tabard of the protector and competitors tabard on my mage still

#

๐Ÿ˜„

long bronze
#

Protector is the BC launch one right? I have the competitor one

timid jay
#

Yeah it is

#

Makes the old holy nova effect when you use it

long bronze
#

That's cool. Missed out on it. I started in December before BC came out so I wasn't high enough level for those events

timid jay
#

The worst is me getting the plate set for wotlk launchh

long bronze
#

Still remember my first wow all night Eric. Good times

timid jay
#

Selling it and transferring realm on that character

#

Cant get it back

long bronze
#

Wtf is all night Eric

#

Thanks phone

timid jay
#

Sounds like you two had a romantic evening together

long bronze
#

Poor Eric he didn't sign up for this

#

I'm an orc so I guess he looked like lady

winter frost
#

you think soul of the battlelord and pants are a better combo or Soul and bracers?

long bronze
#

Depends on fight

#

Mostly bracers

#

But pants are great for fights where you can Sr frequently to avoid big hits

#

Like ymiron and veri

stark sage
#

soul with the current tier loses a lot of value

winter frost
#

i thought guides where saying that it still counted as if you used a full rage cost on it?

long bronze
#

It isn't really viable to weave revenge with soul due to t21 making you use SS much more frequently

#

We don't have the gcds for it

#

I'm trying to get some more info on the input lag for mobile from the bug report discord... So far no real dice

fossil spindle
#

965 horn of valor.. how to fee labout that?

long bronze
#

Depends on what else you have

fossil spindle
#

940 memento and 940 chrono for st, 940 terrorbound nexus for AOE

sick sentinel
#

Good for burst with Avatar talented

winter frost
#

I use a reliquished haste/strength stat stick and Shatugs eye

sick sentinel
#

rather niche to use .. mine 960 didnt see much use at all yet

long bronze
#

Play with it and see how it works for you

fossil spindle
#

9k str for 30sec, feels good

winter frost
#

just so you guys know, this has been a really helpful discord for getting me to that next level for warrior tanking

long bronze
#

No APL for us so it's kinda hard to pin down exactly what's best dps wise

winter frost
#

I started off thinking crit was good because more crit for parry= more revenge procs

ember arrow
#

good thing u saw the light

#

and came to su

#

us

sick sentinel
#

3k STR flat with 8k haste procc feels better for me -> chronoshard 940 + 960 setnecklace

#

gonna grind that arcway out i guess :thinking:

long bronze
#

Wait crit isn't best? :thinking:

#

This changes everything

unborn island
#

Do the birds in MoS Burst?

ember arrow
#

yes

unborn island
#

..<

#

stupif

slate obsidian
#

crit is best, because crit is double the damage

long bronze
#

Wait for every point?

#

You heard the man time to stack crit

turbid horizon
#

just on normal but it's so fun to see lol

long bronze
#

Titan spirits have nothing on the scale of a long dead dragon

sick sentinel
#

For breaker hits hard, luckily we can use neltharions fury

#

SB only for that russian roulette feeling ๐Ÿ˜Ž

long bronze
#

It is nice indeed

compact geyser
#

Umm did someone say crit/ravager/bladestorm helm build.? marok marok marok marok

long bronze
#

If we could move with nelths up I would be so happy

#

Also nonpro tip don't fat finger nelths fury on skovald when using the shield

dusky mica
#

tbh I'd be fine not moving with nelth IF it had an awesome looking effect

long bronze
#

I did that yesterday in a 16 and was basically instawipe lol felt bad

dusky mica
#

A deathwing version of the frost dk artifact spell would be an adequate starting point

long bronze
#

Or like a firey phalanx

#

I think we keep in bfa so maybe they will make it less lameo

tender phoenix
#

i finally got my t20 4set & t21 2set its so OP

long bronze
#

Yeah apparently the rage Gen is great but still depends on how much ilvl you need to sacrifice for it

upper spoke
#

With Aramat's Bloodmirror (spell reflect legs) equipped, what tier / legendary combinations are used?

#

more interested in tier, i guess. legendary might be different for diff situations

cold tendon
#

What legendary are you guys using in high lvl mythic + runs?

sick sentinel
#

Tier 20 4 p is rly op

#

I use thunder gods vigor for mythic plus

#

That is rly good

cold tendon
#

Thunder and stormscale?

sick sentinel
#

Also the stormscale gauntlets are great

#

Use both if you can

cold tendon
#

ok cool

sick sentinel
#

I don't have stormscale yet ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

So I have to use walls fell and thunder god

#

Not ideal but works good with t 21 2 p

flat kelp
#

Yo buddies, any tips on aggramar MM ? wanna make my first pulls on him with my prot war

sick sentinel
#

MM?

flat kelp
#

sure

sick sentinel
#

What u mean MM

flat kelp
#

mythic aggramar

sick sentinel
#

Ah

#

I honestly don't know, a lot of mythic prot warriors used the blood mirror for that fight

long bronze
#

Rycon it depends. I see mostly gloves and bracers on the prot warrior leader boards

sick sentinel
#

A lot used the blood mirror pants

#

Gloves are almost always used

long bronze
#

I was addressing question about m+

sick sentinel
#

Oh

#

Thunder God and Gloves are best

wet hornet
#

Ok, so this is super super off topic

cold tendon
#

Thx Dickballs

long bronze
#

"best" in what sense

sick sentinel
#

Thunder God on m+ let's u get many many more demoralizing shouts

slate obsidian
#

aratas can be decent because you have a very lengthy phase of taking hard-hitting meelee attacks (when you're offtanking) that can be blocked

sick sentinel
#

Esp when you are doing trash pulls

wet hornet
#

I wish I had that belt before I got my flail skin

long bronze
#

Gloves and belt are best for dps but not survivability

sick sentinel
#

They provide extra rage

#

With booming voice

#

Meaning better survival

wet hornet
#

Gloves and bracers is a good mix

#

Too bad I never got my gloves when I raided

#

Because fuck me

sick sentinel
#

I get to use demoralizing shout every 30-40 seconds

long bronze
#

And belt has a pretty minor benefit when doing bosses that don't have adds

sick sentinel
#

Adds this week are buffed

#

So adds will be toughest part

long bronze
#

Adds meaning trash?

sick sentinel
#

Yes

wet hornet
#

Trash is always the toughest part in M+

sick sentinel
#

Trash sorry

stark sage
#

bracers are still the strongest defensive legendary

long bronze
#

Yes exactly

analog swift
#

@stark sage is right, but barely.

long bronze
#

And gloves are strongest offensively

sick sentinel
#

That's about it tho

analog swift
#

Bracers imo are way overrated unless it's greivous or your healer is ASS

sick sentinel
#

Thunder God is super strong on trash pulls and can increase dps and defense

wet hornet
#

I always use them just to feel safer

analog swift
#

the amount of damage you take should be super minimal

wet hornet
#

Doesnt matter if I had a good healer

#

Also, wanted to beat healers on healing meter

#

Helped with that

analog swift
#

yeah but only like 10% of that comes from the bracers

wet hornet
#

10% is alot of healing

sick sentinel
#

Most comes from ignore pain

#

More rage means more "healing"

analog swift
#

no it's not. Not compared to 90% or getting more rage so you get more ignore pain

wet hornet
#

As I said

analog swift
#

I'd rather have legs over bracers on ymiron

wet hornet
#

I never had those things

#

I got my bracers super early

#

Then I went months without anything

analog swift
#

I'd rather have sephuz on helya

cold tendon
#

best solution!! Create gear set with belt, gloves, and one with gloves bracer and just swap gears sets in mythic +

sick sentinel
#

Good idea

fleet galleon
#

Yeah, I swap gear from trash to bosses for sure

analog swift
#

@cold tendon i have liek 4 sets to swap out during M+

sick sentinel
#

One for movement

long bronze
#

Bracers make us much more self sufficient so healer can worry about others. But yes it's up to your preference. We have 4 very strong Legos to choose one and it won't make or break (probably) your run to choose any combo of the 4

sick sentinel
#

One for trash

#

One for boss

long bronze
#

fleet galleon
#

I almost always run bracers though so that if healing isn't a huge issue, the healer can also dps

long bronze
#

Thanks discord mobile

analog swift
#

everyone really should. I have sephuz/belt that I swap to belt/gloves when it's on CD, one for movement, leggs/gloves for boss, legs/belt for boss w/ adds.

vital cove
#

How much should i worry about my dps as prot when running m+?

analog swift
#

@long bronze but as I said, the bracers are alreayd only doing 10% healing (if you aren't awful) that's not helping the healer out THAT much (unless it's greivous)

fleet galleon
#

I mean, it's important for sure

vital cove
#

i'm 945 ilvl, doing about 400k

sick sentinel
#

I love to do great dps

#

Try to stay at about 1 million

analog swift
#

get T21

fleet galleon
#

Less important than dying, but standing there doing nothing also doesn't help

analog swift
#

but dps is the best thing prot warriors brings

fleet galleon
#

You're definitely doing something wrong if you're at 400k

sick sentinel
#

Prot has utility

analog swift
#

mehhhhhh

#

shockwave anndddd????

sick sentinel
#

I can move around well

vital cove
#

1 mill on singletarget!?

long bronze
#

Bracers are usually over 15% for me

sick sentinel
#

Yeah

vital cove
#

how geared are you?

analog swift
#

@vital cove do you have T21?

sick sentinel
#

If you have gloves you should do that no problem

fleet galleon
#

Yeah, or close to anyway.

vital cove
#

Not full yet

#

3 pieces

analog swift
#

@long bronze that's still not THAT much, that's a few impending victories

stark sage
#

bracers like 15-20 for me

sick sentinel
#

I'm only 963 close to 964

analog swift
#

@stark sage that's a much higher echelon but still

long bronze
#

15โ€ฐ of 750m healing is a shit ton

sick sentinel
#

Prot is a very good dps tank

stark sage
#

during high damage intake that's like 200k hps

analog swift
#

The amount of dps a healer can do by not healing that 20% is probably less than you could do with a better leggo

sick sentinel
#

Prot can top healing boards if they really try

analog swift
#

yeah ez

vital cove
#

i'm mind blown right now

sick sentinel
#

Esp on Vari

fleet galleon
#

Depends on the healers skill too though. I pugs, I prefer not to risk it

vital cove
#

how bad have i been playing

analog swift
#

really bad

#

you are also low ilvl

#

but obvi bad

vital cove
#

ye

fleet galleon
#

It's fine. Important thing is that you're asking questions and trying to improve

vital cove
#

20ilvl should not = 600k more dps

analog swift
#

remember, your aoe moves are about doing triple damage

fleet galleon
#

TBH, I'd start hitting the tank dummy for a while

sick sentinel
#

What are your stats

analog swift
#

^^^^^^

sick sentinel
#

That might be your problem

vital cove
#

stats are bad, no talk about it

fleet galleon
#

Talents too

analog swift
#

wut

vital cove
#

29% crit

long bronze
#

Dps is still really low for that ilvl

vital cove
#

37% haste

#

39% mast

analog swift
#

fuck crit

sick sentinel
#

Okay okay that's good

#

With crit you should do good damage

analog swift
#

crit is ass

sick sentinel
#

I have 20% crit 35% haste 50% mastery

vital cove
#

okay! iu'm not THAT far off then

fleet galleon
#

Yeah, you should be prioritizing item level for the most part anyway

vital cove
#

What should i exchange crit for?

sick sentinel
#

Vers

#

Or haste

vital cove
#

Ye, that's what ive been doing

#

hence the stats

sick sentinel
#

Vers can really help out on Meele bosses

vital cove
#

my vers is reeeally low

#

6%

fleet galleon
#

That's fine then. What talents are you running?

analog swift
#

stats aren't THAT important, but I have verse worth triple crit rn

vital cove
#

shockwave, inspiring presence, renewed fury, crackling thudner, indomitable, vengence, ravanger

sick sentinel
#

That's why

analog swift
#

wtf

fleet galleon
#

Right

sick sentinel
#

Lol

fleet galleon
#

That

#

Will fuck you up

sick sentinel
#

Use anger management

fleet galleon
#

Big time

analog swift
#

I don't mean to be a dick

sick sentinel
#

Devastator

analog swift
#

but have you read ANY guides?

#

like at all?

sick sentinel
#

Booming voice

#

Everything else is fine

vital cove
#

ye, icy veins, but might have fooled around with it since

analog swift
#

I love to help people out, but when you won't even look at the sticky

sick sentinel
#

Icy viens is outdated

analog swift
#

are you even doing your part?

long bronze
analog swift
#

go check the sticky and get back to us plz

fleet galleon
#

Yeah, Sal pinned a really helpful post some time back

vital cove
#

I'm new here, didnt think about sticky, i'll do that right away

fleet galleon
#

That will definitely solve a lot of the problems you're having

#

Feel free to ask if you have questions about it

vital cove
#

Yepp, will do!

#

Thanks alot!

sick sentinel
#

It says in the welcome things to read sticky

#

And in guides faq

analog swift
#

@long bronze does that show the gear they had when they ran the dungeon or jsut logged out?

fleet galleon
#

I would imagine they switch gear a lot within the dungeon anyway

analog swift
#

yeah

#

so idk how helpful that is

fleet galleon
#

I think it's a lot to do with personal preference overall. If you run with a consistent group that you know is good, you can sacrifice some survivability for dps

long bronze
#

This is true

analog swift
#

^^

fleet galleon
#

But if you pug a lot, as I do, i prefer to be on the safe side

#

But then again, I'm not pushing +20 and shit either so

sick sentinel
#

Once I get stormscale gloves I'll be way better dps, getting tired of walls fell

#

Rly good for fights like hounds of sargeras

fleet galleon
#

Walls fell for dps?

#

What other legendaries do you have?

sick sentinel
#

I've been getting unlucky

#

I got super u lucky

long bronze
#

Hey don't bash twf it gives you a bit of dps lol

#

Dat ignore pain uptime

sick sentinel
#

I got Aggramar stride, triple leap shoulders, destiny driver, Thunder God, walls fell and somehow kil'jadens burning wish

#

I have a few fury leggos

fleet galleon
#

You're using best and walls fell?

long bronze
#

No bracers?

fleet galleon
#

*belt

sick sentinel
#

My wish for this week is to get to stormscale gloves

long bronze
#

Belt and Twf isn't a bad combo

sick sentinel
#

Walls fell and belt

#

It makes me a brick wall

#

On add fights

fleet galleon
#

Yeah, given what you have it's not bad

#

I wonder if KJ's may be better depending on your other trinkets

#

That strength is really strong

#

Maybe even destiny driver just for the stats

sick sentinel
#

Destiny driver is absolute trash

fleet galleon
#

Effect is

stark sage
#

stride is good for a stat stick

fleet galleon
#

Stats are not

sick sentinel
#

I got unlucky

stark sage
#

i would only use driver if i could cheese the effect, its pretty bad

sick sentinel
#

Regardless the two I use is BIS and top tier

#

I never charge at other tank

#

My dream is to have stormscale

#

Would help me do great dps

#

Plus good defensive option

stark sage
#

playing well does more for your dps than the legendary

sick sentinel
#

I am a good player

winter frost
#

If I use the leggo pants and heavy reprecussion talent I can get pretty close to a 100% uptime on shield block

sick sentinel
#

You don't need the pants to get 100% uptime

#

U just need high haste

fleet galleon
#

Not worth it

#

Anger management synergy too strong for heavy repercussions

sick sentinel
#

Only use the pants if you are long mythic Aggramar or coven

#

I sue anger management

#

Use*

#

doing*

fleet galleon
#

Talking to @winter frost

sick sentinel
#

Heavy repercussions and vengeance increases dps tho

#

I aim at 100k more with those talents

#

Sim*

fleet galleon
#

Sim?

#

They're broken

stark sage
#

prot sims ๐Ÿค”

sick sentinel
#

Yeah I sim anyway

fleet galleon
#

Like completely meaningless

stark sage
#

the APL isnt designed well

sick sentinel
#

Doesn't rly sim properly

stark sage
#

the data they give is 100% unreliable

sick sentinel
#

I do way more dps in game than on sim

stark sage
#

yeha

#

yeah

#

dont listen to the sims

fleet galleon
#

Why trust something you know doesn't work well?

sick sentinel
#

I did do a bit more dps with heavy repercussions and vengeance actually

calm cove
stark sage
sick sentinel
#

Raidbots is rly cool tho, I like to sim on there to see how My different gear and talents affects dps

winter frost
#

i've been playing with different combos and the one that's most fun for me is the class ring and pants

stark sage
#

BV and AM are way better for damage

calm cove
#

you know Raidbots is the same as Simcraft right just with a GUI?

stark sage
#

@sick sentinel you cant trust prot sims if the APL isnt maintained

sick sentinel
#

Yeah ur right

stark sage
#

even if it says something does better

#

it could be wrong

sick sentinel
#

It was wrong

#

On single target

stark sage
#

its wrong on aoe too

#

its just wrong

sick sentinel
#

I did 250k dps less on dogs than with BV and AM

#

Idk why it's so popular

#

Raidbots

vital cove
#

hey again, just wanted to let you know i'm doing 600k dps with the spec from the guide

#

soo, >200k increase

stark sage
#

raidbots works for most dps specs, thats why its popular

sick sentinel
#

Gratz

#

What leggos are you usuing?

#

Also remember to use demoralizing shout before you hit battle cry

vital cove
#

Right now i'm trying out with insignia and the walls fell

#

because that gives me possability for 4piece t21

sick sentinel
#

And during that you must spam shield slam and have the 10% damage increase from ignore pain

#

4 p doesn't increase dps

long bronze
#

Yup most dps specs have very fine tuned APLs. Prot doesn't because we like flying by the seat of our collective pants

sick sentinel
#

Ha

stark sage
#

also RFDT is hard to calculate

sick sentinel
#

True

long bronze
#

Sorry I'm sticking to the too cool for school mantra

sick sentinel
#

It's fine

vital cove
#

would you go for 4piece and those leggos, or using Ararat's?

stark sage
#

u only have 3?

vital cove
#

ye, 3 for prot

long bronze
#

Warrior strong. Simming dumb. Gib me more STATS

sick sentinel
#

He said insigna and walls

stark sage
#

on a fight where you can actually make use of ararats, yeah i would equip it but for general use double ring is okay

vital cove
#

even thou pants are 915?

stark sage
#

well

vital cove
#

other pieces are 930

stark sage
#

maybe

sick sentinel
#

ararats is crazy good on varimathras

#

its better than the dps legos on that fight too in terms of doing dps

vital cove
#

Alright, so it depends on the situation more or less

stark sage
#

i guess breaking 4pc to lose 915 pants isnt so bad

#

thats 4pc 21?

vital cove
#

ye

stark sage
#

what does lfr drop

vital cove
#

915

stark sage
#

oh dam

vital cove
#

930 on normal

stark sage
#

thought it was higher

#

ye

#

tbh i would go mirror + twf until you get some better gear

long bronze
#

4pc t21 is arguably weak compared to taking higher ilvl. Defensively it can be stronger but depends on how often often it refreshes. Most bosses attack too slow to make full use of it. On trash it's stronger

#

Also to use 4 set you need to use one of the crappy itemized pedal pieces or not use Lego gloves

#

Pedal? Nice phone that's new

sick sentinel
#

t21 4pc is p good

#

if you dont need the survivability

vital cove
#

Not sure, my entire setup is changed now. Guess i'll have to see how my survivability is

stark sage
#

prot war takes practice, dont get discouraged if you feel squishy

vital cove
#

I've been just freestyling until now. It's been enough for argus normal and mythic+ ~10

#

But we tried m+13 yesterday, and that kicked out butts

#

So, that's why i wanna look more into it now

stark sage
#

well this is a good place for information

vital cove
#

Ye, i love a forum like this!

#

You've all been very helpful and i'm so happy ๐Ÿ˜„

You han please read over the blockable and reflectance damage sheet in pins. It's the difference between being very good and getting 1 shot

vital cove
#

Will do!

long bronze
#

You'd be surprised how much damage you get to avoid

prisma crane
#

you guys are a bit incorrect on 4p T21

#

it's actually quite solid for surv

#

yes, even against ST bosses

#

and for strictly surv purposes, it will outperform 2p and ilvl

stark sage
#

well it was insignia + 915 tier pants vs bloodmiror

#

poor gear options

prisma crane
#

for surv i would take insignia and 4p

#

unless it's a fight you benefit from the extra SR

sick sentinel
#

Insigna can be a good dps option

#

If you have right traits

#

Other than that it is weak

long bronze
#

Nobody said it wasn't good for survivability. I think there's debate on how much ilvl it's worth giving up for it.

sick sentinel
#

It's about as bad as the destiny driver

#

The effect on a different leggo is much more worth

prisma crane
#

insignia?

sick sentinel
#

Insignia is rly bad

prisma crane
#

you realize that the extra SB charge doesnt actually give you that much more SB uptime in practice right?

#

particularly if you're in 5 man content

sick sentinel
#

Exactly

#

Insigna should never be used in my opinion unless you have nothing else

prisma crane
#

i would take insignia over arats if arats means he loses 4p T21

#

which contradicts what you just said

sick sentinel
#

T21 4 p is pretty weak

prisma crane
#

and insignia, with the right traits is arguably 2nd BiS for dps

long bronze
#

Insignia is only as good or bad as your traits but usually yeah its no good. And no matter your traits it will be weaker than the 4 "good" legos

stark sage
#

nah 4pc is good, just 4pc 20 + 2pc is nuts

prisma crane
#

4pT21 is far from weak

sick sentinel
#

4 p would be rly strong if they removed can only occur every second

stark sage
#

it would be OP

sick sentinel
#

Yeah

#

Would be perfect

#

i used it yesterday on kingaroth mythic and felt as safe as i did when i was using 4p2p

prisma crane
#

it's free IP every blocked hit that can stack and that can go above IP cap

sick sentinel
#

Its good shit

#

Meh

prisma crane
#

i just cant take someone too serious if they are coming from simming prot warrior to begin with

sick sentinel
#

Lol

#

I tried using 4 p at the cost of 8 item levels lower wasn't worth it to me

prisma crane
#

defensively, insignia probably only comes in handy if you're looking to cap avoidance and have MoS in your t2 slots

#

8 overall itemlevels? to use 4p?

sick sentinel
#

Yes

prisma crane
#

128 ilvl difference over 2 pieces?

sick sentinel
#

Had to replace 960 cloak with 945 cloak

#

Had to replace 955 gloves with 935 gloves

#

Lost like 8 item levels in total

prisma crane
#

that's 35 ilvls on items

#

or...

#

2.1875 ilvls

sick sentinel
#

Over all

#

I dropped by about 8 item levels

#

So 964 down to 956

prisma crane
#

why does dropping to 2 piece mean you have to change like 6 items of gear?

long bronze
#

I lose 55 ilvl on shoulder and 40 ilvl and socket on pants or 45 ilvl on helm to go to 4 set

prisma crane
#

sounds like you're changing more that you have to

sick sentinel
#

That is insane

prisma crane
#

but even in his scenario, that's worst case 6.25 overall ilvls

sick sentinel
#

Item level stats outperform the 4p of you are losing that much

prisma crane
#

for him, likely, yes

long bronze
#

I only have lfr pants shoulders and helm because ring is a good mechanic

#

Rng

sick sentinel
#

I use heroic shoulder and legs

prisma crane
#

for you, if you change 2 pieces, you're better off with 4p

sick sentinel
#

Then if I want 4p I have to wear heroic cloak and normal war forge ( 935 ) gloves

#

I only use 4 p when playing fury

prisma crane
#

yes, at the cost of 35 ilvls

#

you told us

#

which is 2.18 overall ilvl

#

you should be wearing your 4p

sick sentinel
#

It dropped me by like 8

#

I remeber

prisma crane
#

then. you. are. changing. more. pieces. than. those. two.

#

and im not sure why

sick sentinel
#

Maybe I changed something by accident

#

But I don't remebr

#

Was awhile ago

prisma crane
#

were you wearing 1 lego?

sick sentinel
#

I might try 4 p

#

I have 2 leggo

#

Always

prisma crane
#

feel free to go for more ilvl if you're looking for more dmg or w/e, but strictly surv-wise, if the change is those two pieces of gear to tier, then you should take 4p

long bronze
#

As soon as coven/agg/imo stop trolling me certainly will lol

#

I don't raid with a guild and pugging heroic agg and coven is the worst

prisma crane
#

you dont want the tier legs anyways

#

get the argus ones

#

assuming rng works out that way

vital cove
#

Cosmos-Culling?

long bronze
#

Yeah let me just ask him ๐Ÿ™ƒ

vital cove
#

I've got those ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

long bronze
#

I have 960 primary haste secondary crit with socket legs so not too bad

#

M+

prisma crane
#

yea just use those

long bronze
#

I dooo

#

But I also have 975 imo shoulders so rip

#

VS 915 tier shoulders lol

vale spruce
#

what two legendarys are the best for protection atm?

long bronze
#

Why do people ask this question

wet hornet
#

DESTINY DIVER AND ZEPHUS

fleet galleon
#

Legendaries are situation dependent

wet hornet
#

Also, fuck this Argus campaign

#

Do these quests, wait 5000 days for a mission to complete

#

Then do 1 more quest

#

Fuck off

prisma crane
#

bracers/gloves/belt/twf/ahr (pick your poison)

vale spruce
#

Thank you guys

long bronze
#

But also read the pins

#

Poor Sal. So unappreciated

vale spruce
#

well the guide says the thundergod and mannoroth was just getting more input

#

no need to get rude if people don't want to answer it, it's fine

fleet galleon
#

Those are solid for almost all situations

#

But there are specific scenarios where they're not

#

So it's hard to give you a broad answer without knowing more

wet hornet
#

Can we have a pin that is just: Legendaries have uses in different scenarios.

#

Everything is viable

#

Except DD

#

Fuck DD

fleet galleon
#

Lol

rich swallow
#

tilted? lol

wet hornet
#

So annoyed I got DD

long bronze
#

Why obviously DD is Bis lego

#

:upside_down:

sick sentinel
#

DD was my first lego back in EN

#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

junior ivy
#

what is DD

long bronze
#

Destiny driver Lego chest

junior ivy
#

ohh

#

i have never used thgat one before

#

see off topic for a pic of a bunny if you want

fleet galleon
#

Please don't use it

junior ivy
#

lol i wont i love my bracers+gloves combo

fleet galleon
#

I only got gloves a few weeks ago

#

Enjoying them immensely

junior ivy
#

gloves were my first leggo

#

and then DD and then TWF and then bracers

#

and i forget the order of the rest

#

i hated gloves at first, i didnt know they were 'good' . they were damage not survability so i thought they were hbad

runic fjord
#

then you went "wait rage gen, ooooo"

junior ivy
#

then i discovered this discord lol

sick sentinel
#

39% with 42% mast or 31% haste with 52% mast

stark sage
#

same ilvl?

sick sentinel
#

nah

stark sage
#

go with better ilvl

ember arrow
#

whatever is highest ilvl

sick sentinel
#

20 ilvl to a ring

ember arrow
#

then the higher ring

sick sentinel
#

also how worth it is it to use the t21 4p if youre not using 6p

stark sage
#

good defensively

#

also iirc 6pc is with 4pc 20

#

not 4pc 21

sick sentinel
#

i know

#

i guess im curious when that 4p t20 is obsolete to ilvl

stark sage
#

hmm defensively 6pc is hard to beat

ember arrow
#

when u have mythic ilvl t21

#

but also depends on level of t20

sick sentinel
#

ive got like 4/3 t20 at 930

#

i made the change last night to 4p t21 when i had all 960 tier pieces

#

3/4*

#

But then if I drop t21 4p i can use a 980 haste mastery back and 970 haste mastery legs

stark sage
#

960 tier in those slots?

sick sentinel
#

960+ in my 2 pieces of tier yeah

rustic python
#

When does ilvl begin to trump Tier 20 4set?

sick sentinel
#

lol

#

Tier 20 is rly op

stark sage
#

id keep the tier unless you are trying to parse for damage

rustic python
#

if I am progressing Mythic for example.. when should I just swap to higher ilvl

#

960 or 970 ?

ember arrow
#

@rustic python when u get mythic ilvl t21

sick sentinel
#

I always take highest item level

rustic python
#

lol

sick sentinel
#

If it's over 30 item level difference take it

ember arrow
#

no

rustic python
#

how high can t21 titanforge?

ember arrow
#

when u get mythic t21 pieces

sick sentinel
#

The stats are just so good

#

hgihest TF is 985

rustic python
#

for t21?

sick sentinel
#

for anything

rustic python
#

no way.. your saying t21 can tf up to 985 ?

#

ToS gear?

sick sentinel
#

yes

#

No no

ember arrow
#

tos is t20

rustic python
#

Oh SORRY

ember arrow
#

and it can TF to 985

rustic python
#

t20

#

I mean

ember arrow
#

any item can

sick sentinel
#

t20 can TF to 985 yes

rustic python
#

wow

sick sentinel
#

Oh I didn't know that

#

but thats super duper unliekkly

rustic python
#

me neither

stark sage
#

even the shitty WQ item rewards can TF to 985

rustic python
#

fuck I really dont wanna farm ToS Mythic ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

sick sentinel
#

its 5% every WF/TF

#

so that 5% compundingly lower

#

So a item from BC can't item forge to 985 lol

#

Can*

#

no, only stuff from legion ya scrub

#

Ah

stark sage
#

you dont have to farm ToS, having mythic t21 is good enough to clear

rustic python
#

Ok

sick sentinel
#

I am gonna miss tier

rustic python
#

I'm not

ember arrow
#

fuck tiers

sick sentinel
#

It's so nice to have

ember arrow
#

forced to wear low ilvl because bonus

rustic python
#

Fuck Tier, Fuck Artifacts and Fuck legendaries.. glad they are all gone (sorta)

ember arrow
#

ima miss my artifacts

#

ima miss my leggos

sick sentinel
#

I miss tier

rustic python
#

Leggo system was dumb

#

imo

ember arrow
#

i got 37leggos

#

idc

sick sentinel
#

Jesus

rustic python
#

yea they dont feel special though

sick sentinel
#

That's a lot

stark sage
#

the leggo drop system was dumb, but the items themselves are fine

ember arrow
#

i geared 2 alts with 5 leggos each

rustic python
#

I used to collect legendaries every expansion.. now its lame

ember arrow
#

from my warrior

rustic python
#

I have too many

sick sentinel
#

My warrior has only 10 I think

#

This week it will be 11

ember arrow
#

i got 6 WL, 6 dk, 5 shaman, 5 huntard

sick sentinel
#

Hopefully that 11th will be stormscale gloves

rustic python
#

If you got full Mythic T21.. what legendaries would you use without T20 set bonus? Back to Gloves and Bracer?

ember arrow
#

then 2 pala and some others idk anymore

#

what else do u use Exif?

rustic python
#

I have Belt / Rings / Gloves / Bracer

ember arrow
#

t20 didnt change ur items

#

only on setcombo

sick sentinel
#

I rly want gloves

rustic python
#

t20 removed gloves.. and get swapped ith The Falls Fell

#

afaik

sick sentinel
#

What

rustic python
#

just reading this ^

sick sentinel
#

They wouldn't remove the leggo gloves

#

Storm sclae gloves

rustic python

if your going 4 / 2 ..

#

o_o

Juggernaut Helm
Titanic Onslaught Pauldrons
Titanic Onslaught Cloak
Juggernaut Breastplate
Titanic Onslaught Handguards
Titanic Onslaught Greaves

6pc is bracers + twf

for general defensive purposes

sick sentinel

Did they remove the gloves?

stark sage
#

who

sick sentinel
#

The stormscale gloves

stark sage
#

no

sick sentinel
#

Thank god

#

I was gonna rage

#

Once I get them I'm gonna be soo happy

rustic python
#

with 4pc do I still use AM / Indomitable

sick sentinel
#

Getting destiny driver as first Leggo sucked

stark sage
#

indom ๐Ÿคข

#

never use indom

sick sentinel
#

Am and deva

rustic python
#

deva with no revenge ?

sick sentinel
#

Nope

stark sage
#

devastator is OP

sick sentinel
#

Am BV deva

ember arrow
#

never ever indom

cinder sorrel
#

I tanked our raid last night for the first time and keep having trouble with pulling threat from our bm monk to the point I had to afk while he had the boss. Is this normal with a monk?

sick sentinel
#

It's gonna get nerfed in BFA ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

rustic python
#

wont you be squishy? or the extra rage lets you spam IP more?

ember arrow
#

@cinder sorrel yep

stark sage
#

the extra rage makes you tankier

#

indom is squishier

ember arrow
#

@rustic python indom makes u squishier than deva

sick sentinel
#

We lack rage gen

#

That fixes it

rustic python
#

I thought we need revenge with deva for the reduced rage cost

sick sentinel
#

Deva during blood lust is insane

ember arrow
#

not with t21 exif

sick sentinel
#

I get rage capped in seconds

rustic python
#

thanks ill experiment more.. I'm always worried about gibbing

#

in mythic

ember arrow
#

in 1 second**

sick sentinel
#

Gibbing?

rustic python
#

I thought indom would give me more smoothing for magic heavy fights like dogs

#

like getting killed

ember arrow
#

dogs are one of easiest

sick sentinel
#

Dogs are pure survival

ember arrow
#

block maws

#

use cds at 5+

rustic python
#

yea I do.. but I need to save cd for the swap

ember arrow
#

u..... did block maws

#

right

sick sentinel
#

Walls fell is bae on dogs

rustic python
#

yea and SR after 4 or 5 stacks

cinder sorrel
#

Wow it made it so boring for me. Well only got to do it a few times intill the main tank is back

rustic python
#

my haste is like 28% so I have pretty good uptime on SB

junior ivy
#

my haste is 20% ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

rustic python
#

it might be too high

ember arrow
#

@cinder sorrel well not specifically wit monks, but if other tank has his rotation not sorted and not maximizing dps

#

u must refrain aswell

rustic python
#

thats another thing

ember arrow
#

tell them to get good

rustic python
#

deva pulls aggro alot off the other tank

#

lmao

ember arrow
#

otherwise pull aggro, die , till thye learn how to paly their class

#

and not loose aggro

rustic python
#

too much damooge

ember arrow
#

i wont gib myself because some scrub cant properly do rotation

sick sentinel
#

You need higher haste

rustic python
#

28%?

sick sentinel
#

Atleast 35

ember arrow
#

no

rustic python
#

whaaa

ember arrow
#

no minimum or maximum haste

#

ilvl

wet hornet
#

No haste is too much

ember arrow
#

ilvl>>haste

sick sentinel
#

Haste is very very inportant

ember arrow
#

less than ilvl

wet hornet
#

Unless ilvl upgrade has.crit

rustic python
#

with 28% I have almost 100% uptime on shield block and I can hit 5 SS during battle cry

sick sentinel
#

I use the Vari neck which is 945 when I have 955 argus neck which is waaaay worse

ember arrow
#

what do u mean 100%

#

on 28%

sick sentinel
#

Not all about item level sometimes

ember arrow
#

it is all about ilvl

wet hornet
#

Secondary stats are worth more than ilvl

round hornet
#

maybe hes using HR still

ember arrow
#

20ilvl on rings jewelery

#

5 on armor

rustic python
#

well I can rotate Shield Blocks and then use Artifact

sick sentinel
#

Yes

#

Use artifact when maw hits

ember arrow
#

@wet hornet ilvl is worth more than secondary stats

rustic python
#

not sure why I need more than 28%

ember arrow
#

what ya on about

rustic python
#

they nerfed secondary stats

sick sentinel
#

I think spell reflect helps to reduce damage

#

From maw

#

also get the kin garoth or diima trinket

rustic python
#

I have it

sick sentinel
#

Helps with the dog bite

rustic python
#

that kingaroth trinket

#

is amazing

#

in M+

ember arrow
#

no it doesnt

sick sentinel
#

Yes

stark sage
#

more haste is more rage gen which is more IP

ember arrow
#

apoc drive only blocks melee attacks

#

not abilities

sick sentinel
#

Yeah

rustic python
#

I use that trinket so much in Mythic+

#

I love it

sick sentinel
#

That's what artifact is for

rustic python
#

mine rolled a socket too

sick sentinel
#

Same!

#

Only 945 tho :/

rustic python
#

mine is too

#

feelsbad

#

but the fact the CD is reduced by taking white hits

#

is really cool

sick sentinel
#

I love having it for Meele fights

rustic python
#

just trash pulls in general

#

its a breather

#

sorta

sick sentinel
#

It's a nice CD

#

With it I can rotate CDs on dogs

#

With walls fell

#

And AM

rustic python
#

Well I mean I've killed dogs twice on mythic now.. we are on council

#

just wondering what else I can do

sick sentinel
#

Council is easy fight for tanks

rustic python
#

its kinda boring

sick sentinel
#

Yeh

#

I want cloak from there

rustic python
#

kinda feels the same as heoric.. so I just sorta hope my raid figures it out

#

lol

sick sentinel
#

Yeah

rustic python
#

dogs was really fun though

sick sentinel
#

They hit hard

rustic python
#

when we do the swap.. it sometimes got messy

#

had to SW

sick sentinel
#

Yeah

#

Raid might get cleave

Yeeeaah @DrDickBalls#6012 that's where u gain the street cred :sunglasses:

#

but this discord slowly tickles me to jump back into myth prog

compact geyser
#

Start your own guild with people you routinely pug with. Did that in Wrath and it was called <Pug and Pray>

sick sentinel
#

HC clear dead end is kinda odd place to be for a dedicaded PVE'ler

#

Myth prog or next reroll - coins flipping

wet hornet
#

Mythic prog or guild disband.

#

Well. Mythic prog is why i quit wow

long bronze
#

Yeah that's the problem with having a fiance and friends who I play with but aren't that serious

#

Hard to do both

wet hornet

Fukken divorce and get friends who are better at the game

I would like to do mythic but I'm also happy not. Would just be nice to consistently clear heroic each week lol

#

Lol true min max right here bois

wet hornet

I know that feeling

But hc clears get very boring

#

Gotta have a sip of mythic

long bronze
#

Got some people wanting to take m+ more serious so got that going for me

#

Hoping for a 20 this week at least

#

Already the highest rated on my server for my ilvl. Got a long way to go to be even close to highest tho

wet hornet
#

Problem about being tank in m+ is that 97% of the responsibility is on you

long bronze
#

Feels that way sometimes lol

#

And by highest I mean for war tank

#

So like not that much competition lol

wet hornet
#

Only war tank lol

#

So yeah. Late in nighthold on our server, warrior top in mythic was 3 bosses lol

#

Think it got higher after i went monk

round hornet
#

what makes you say 97% of responsibility is on you?

#

keeping up interupts, stuns and whatnot is a team effort.

wet hornet
#

I just feel bad when we wipe

sick sentinel
#

same lmao

long bronze
#

I feel like tank is the first to get called out in m+ if things go south

#

But that's nothing new

wet hornet
#

I usually blamed everyone else. But they were friends

#

I would never do mythic plus with randos

long bronze
#

thanks obama

wet hornet
#

Especially if i died in raids. And it was my fault

#

"Fucking healers."

long bronze

the issue with raids is its so obvious when we mess up

because we usually just get 1 shot lol

wet hornet

Ye lol

Can still blame healers tho

"Why didnt you use cooldowns?"

I fucking hate druids so much

They can be everything

why because you have to stand there dick in hand so you don't steal aggro after 2 shield slams?

lol

wet hornet

Even if you play badly

I hate doing LFR as tank because I always get some chucklefuck cotank who does 300k dps

I raided as holy paladin in cata. It was fun
