I guess the healer's class might be a thing, wouldn't it? Should be more beneficial when i'm with a druid than... a paladin for example
That too, indeed
well
think of it this way
on some fights
dropping bracers gives you marginal dps gain
but bracers are safe and allow your healer to go full dps for a while
and their dps is going to outweigh your dps gain dropping them
if the healer just stands there picking their ass then might as well go for more dmg and let them heal you
Always use them on tyrannical bosses too,I find most pug healers just do nothing if I am using them and don't need heals though
how good is the trinket Code of the crack world ? as prot warrior
I never take them off in m+. Even if my healer is a good player, everyone makes a mistake sometimes. If he dies and I have no bracers it’s a wipe usually. If he dies and I have bracers I can live long enough to finish most pulls. Plus if it’s a dungeon where he can feral affinity, his dps is huge provided I don’t need healing.
You mean riftworld codex?
Good evening. After quite some time I switched back to prot and wanted to ask which of my legendary I should use for m+ and raiding. I have the prot bracers, prot legs, prydaz, soul of the battlelord and archimond's hatred reborn ? 😃
tank trinket from Portal keeper 😃
yeah, riftworld codex
That trinket is incredible on multitarget, not that good on single though
decent for AoE
Lol what. If you get a fire buff proc on aoe you’re basically unkillable, if you don’t the healing is still ok
Obviously the less targets the worse it gets but on high m+ I wear it almost all trash unless it’s a trivial pull where I can put terrorbound back on
being a hybrid trinket it doesn't really excel in either categories being offense and defense, there are definitely better options
its good when you are swaping trinkets
both for dps and defence diimas is better option
I mean I’d never wear it for a dps build but for survivability on m+ trash it’s better than almost every other trinket I have
must not have a lot
Diima’s only helps against physical damage though, and it’s dps is pretty bad
I mean if you want to do dps Glaives/terrorbound/bombardment are all gonna be miles ahead. If you want a mix of dps and surv it’s okay but rarely is that a thing, most pulls you either want full livelier or full dps
Livelord*
i use codex alot also i think its really good if you pull 3+ adds
but i think diimas is better then you think
its cd is lower then other dps trinkets its amazing for kiting %70 slow also its damage gets buffed its better to get the damage like exact
i also use glaives but generaly i use diimas for full burst in then start kiting
The slow is super useful I’ll give you that, since we can’t go full Bdk with DND and kiting
Usually on kite pulls I can get a full opener off inside leg sweep/double Safeguard before leaping out, but if we don’t have lock then I can see the slow being more value
btw with bombatdment if you say trinket from antoran high command glaives damage is actualy higher
i used them both to compare damage bombardment deals damage faster but glaives was bit higher even with 935 version i had
I just don’t value armor that much for trash, doesn’t seem like the scary packs are the ones that do a lot of physical damage. Pulls like the maiden hallway in Lower Kara that does insane magic damage, or stuff like BRH arcane mages are the stuff I’m usually scared of.
yeah armor doesnt really matter thats why i hate apocalpyse drive also
you can kite %90 of adds easily if needed that trinket is generaly waste imo
Yeah my bombardment is only 915 so it’s trash and my glaives is 940 but when you’re doing back to back trash pulls you can run both and bombard first, swap to terrorbound, glaives next pull
don't forget about shivermaw
i swap beetwen glaives and diimas if going for one big pull after another
Tfw no Shivermaw 😦
I also really prefer healing to damage reduction if I’m not getting one shot, means my healer can leave me alone and press swipe to his hearts content. With dr I maybe less spiky and die slower but would need more trickle heals
This is just broken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6f0SG9ECgQ
Spell reflect too OP
about a question I had earlier, do you prefer riftworld codex or stat sticks for M+ (defensively)
riftworld codex
well he said m+ i just thought about aoe
I used one yesterday over the entire instance and it contributed like 15ish% of total healing
and I assumed IP would scale with strength rather directly, so I'd get more IP for the rage spent, and wondered how those would measure up
yeah it's not as good for us as it is for say a monk or dk but it's not terrible for aoe
Ignore pain scales off AP and verse, so it does
ye, not sure how much of AP comes from strength as opposed to other things
actually my AP and strength shows identical numbers...
oh, it's different in prot spec
wait, that's mastery
isn't it
mastery does contribute to AP, yes
I doubt it's that simple
Especially because as Thyme just said, mastery and vers affect your IP as well. Mastery from an AP point of view, and vers is % increase. IIRC, IP is some % AP + % vers
AP being a combo of strength and mastery
What's thehard haste cap? Thepoint where just now hate is an issue?
117%
...seriously?
iirc it's for 100% SB uptime with AM, 100% is gcd cap but essentially there's no haste cap to worry about, it's unreachable in realistic scenarios
there are breakpoints that came with t21 2pc but again aren't really worth prioritizing
being 25% and 55%
i love the 117% answer
it's both accurate and lets people realize how pointless super haste stacking alone is
yup
Considering all three specs need haste
It's hard to not come off as trolling when you say 117% though haha
yea, but anyone who knows what 13/6 is with respect to haste knows you're not 😉
Not everyone will make that association though.
i mean, 117 is troll though, the real cap is a whole 1/3rd % less than that
Speaking of m+ trinkets so riftworld is good for trash and I like diima too. But I thought we said the pantheon trinket is always solid now especially since mine is like 980
it is, but if you have something like a high shivermaws, you can achieve larger burst
yeah, considering how much strength it has at such ilevel it's hard to pass up
So do you just swap out in between fights when a cooldown is waiting and leave one always on?
Which bosses on ant would be best for defensive trinkets and which ones van i get away with using dps ones on
that's entirely subjective based on comfortability
i like that Diima's has a large range and is instant dmg
Up to your comfort level and difficulty you're running
and with vers procs up, it hits pretty damn hard
Don’t have a shivermaw but I have all the antorus ones. So I should leave my pantheon on and then swap out to another as it fits the fight (magic vs melee) or if one has a long cooldown active?
I haven't used mine since I got it last week but I think it'll see a lot more use this weekend
i mean, if you're going for dmg, you dont really care that much about magic vs melee
my big crits with Diima's in raid is around 2.6-2.7m
minimum 1.9m
I swapped to terrorbound nexus when glaives are on cd. Now I have Diimas though so probably won't be using the Nexus much
I've been trying hard for a high level Shivermaw's though. The combo seems insane
Isn’t riftworld codex triggered by taking dmg? Anyone know the proc rate?
It is. Idk the proc rate off hand though
RPPM means it's modified by haste, yeah?
I haven’t used it yet since I had it but I thought I saw above where someone said it’s good for dmg too? I thought it healed or absorbed
1 proc does damage but not a lot
three portals, 1 heal, 1 absorb and 1 aoe that also heals based on damage done
There is à flame portal that deal AoE Damages and heal you of some amount of them
Not more than dedicated damage trinkets obviously
Prot war already deal loads of dmgs
Gotcha. May play around with it some. I just get used to running with certain ones that perform well for me. Having all these options sometimes just complicates things lol
Most trinkets are very situational so if you know where they excel and can utilize them accordingly, it becomes much easier
IP scales linear with strength. Any multipliert to your strength is the same multiplier to your IP
on 100k strength, 1k strength would give you 1% more strength and thus 1% more IP compared to not having the 1k strength
all other effects on IP are multipliers as well, so you can insert your strength multiplier anywhere in the equation without changing anything
so i just started tankin and i dont really understand the rankin of trinkets and how i should be evaluating them
if you look at the pins theres a cool guide on defensive trinkets you can read to better understand in which situations different trinkets become more valuable
@timid jay im chasing your ass now
i been reading i just dont really understand it LOL
monkaS
Well, what do you not understand about how it is explained in that guide?
you can use the pantheon trinket with dimas. or apoc drive is alright too
thats all i know about trinkets
i use pantheon + dimas in every single situation
still haven't seen a diima's or apoc drive drop 😦
got 960 eye and codex
how is the tanking pantheon trinket?
My guild just downed eonar, and we will be moving on to portal keeper mythic next any tips, i have read the guides and watched vids, im just asking from expierence any tips
pantheon is basically a vers stat stick. if ur in raid wear it for the guild
but its not bad to bein with. if ur not in antorus it basically functions as a statstick of the same ilvl
so if yours is 1000, its probably one of your better
1k ilvl panth is so much str 😄
his might not be 1000 which is why i dont say definitively... like my dk has a 985 shivermaw so in m+ im using it and diima over pantheon trinket even though ita 1000 ilvl
Managed a 22 Cos in time,felt good when everyone at the start was like , oh no,prot warrior
@analog stirrup just know that she melees pretty hard and the dot hurts beyond 2 stacks
if you guys want to 3 tank it sometimes makes things easier
but the fight is more on the dps to kill shit fast enough and to move fires to the right spots
we were planning on 3 tanking at first, two stay and one does portals
and of course dodging the blasts while interupting imps
thank you @prisma crane
yup, dont be afraid to use CDs whenever you feel unsafe, particularly when ppl move out of the purple explosion thing
there's nothing specific that's rough apart from high stacks, we had shit luck last night when we decided to clear the 2 bosses we left from last wk, i ended up with 5 stacks, was a bit painful lol
That sounds insanely painful. Can you BoP the stacks off?
no
i shouldnt say shit luck
one idiot with a poison thing for the fire add died
so we had to wait for a backup to show up
@oblique pike mine is 940, so nothing fancy
got a 935 djima and 930 smoldering
which two should i use?
smoldering generally bad unless you have a specific use for it
For dps leggos we want to use the belt and the gloves right?
yes
cool thanks 😄
anyone here with Argus M experience? I'm looking for some advise on how many stacks to taunt swap etc. I've been seeing a lot of different things in logs/videos for p1 and p2, so was wondering if it is a preference thing that tanks just have to figure out themselves or if there is a recommended strat
p3 seems to be a bit more standardized across different kills from what I've seen
really just depends on strat, in p1 we went 1>3>3>3>3>etc. P2 swapped at 2 and p3 obviously the die on 5th
ye I've seen quite a few people do 1-3-2-2-2-etc
mostly yeah, easier to manage timings
just to make first 2 orbs line up
plus it was me and paladin so SB/SoTR charges
aight
and in p2 2stacks just works out for the avatar buff?
yeah, first avatar is based on threat and the timings are just ring to allow for an easy switch at 2
Anyone here have any tips for M Imonar? My team wants me to clear every other stack of 4 shrapnel mines as well as clear a decent portion of the bridge during all crossings
Looking at logs from people who are struggling on imonar from my view people clear way too much
Especially on platforms
We dont clear anything on the second platform unless its really needed
You dont get any bombs there the second time around so you dont need that much space
ty cosmo. i'm aware that some groups dont clear red mines at all. 4 stacks of a physical bleed super painful
i'm running bracers and gloves. anyone have an opinion about bracers and the walls fell?
gloves will be slightly more rage, but you're gonna prob use SW a lot in that fight
i think my team just needs better movement. we get about 15-17 stacks of his channeling increase
i'm lining up demo shout for when i need to clear the mines
6 heals and i still sometimes die
Demo does nothing for mines
I dont think they do
environmental
Bracers help a lot if you do clear the Dot mines
well i guess i'll have one SW for the first clear on each platform
I always question why people feel the need to clear so many bombs on the platforms 🤔
ty thyme. i guess just save demo shout for a string of shield slams for more rage
and active tanking
@oblique pike ill use the two others then, thanks 😃
Anyone ever run indomnitable in dungeons, or is it just kinda like
no
No
Just curious, +20 hyrja was nearly killiing me through SR and AHR
I guess the key word here is nearly
noiceee
For prot mage tower, whats the minimum health reduced debuffs you want to have?
for the challenge, should I use 930 chrono shard, 945 Forgfiend's Fireguard, or 930 smoldering titanguard?
@lime steeple ~4-5 depending on comfort
@jade thorn probably chrono
Yeah I almost had him that try, though no reflect for debuff that he casted on me.
So his health just shot up
so smoldering and chrono?
the other two aren't particularly great for the challenge, smoldering might save you if you mess up the debuff or extra annihilate stacks in P2 but otherwise nothing spectacular and forgfiend's doesn't do a whole lot of damage after the nerf
so i have a 940 relic, with bastion of aspects in 3rd tier of nether crusible.... or a 955 with master of shadows in 2nd tier. neither have anything good for original trait
i assume the 955 doesn't have bastion?
so I just have poor trinkets? fantastic
at least for the challenge, both phases are more of a dps race @jade thorn
hmmm... I have saved some other trinkets in case...
915 void stalker's contract, 915 Ember of nullification, 910 orb of torment, 910terrorbound nexus, 915 fel-oiled infernal machine
none of those seem too great tbh
you think i should take ilvl over bastion?
never
not even 15ilvl
if a relic doesn't have/roll bastion i dont put it in my prot weapon lol
kk cool lol
i wasn't that close, but I was close
Might of got it if i used last stand.
that was embarrasing... mouse stopped working and I ran off the edge
I either get really good attempts or extremely shit ones. Never in between
ther is no in between
And
again
4m hp but he gets the buff on him so he heals back up to like 35%
so mad
going ot be so happy when he's dead
i did it
but guess prot war doesnt really do much ST burst dps nowadays
holy fuck
gz
shockwave. you fucking beautiful saviour
Oromis do you not have t21?
was in maw +19. attempteds first boss, died, realized i only had one legendary on lol
is there a certain haste point you want as prot or do you just keep stacking?
Just keep stacking. There are breakpoints if you have 2pc T21 but they don't devalue haste if you pass them
bet thanks
Just make sure ilevel still takes priority over haste
ya I just got the leggo ring and with it I have 31% haste (don't have gloves or belt yet)
Sounds fine to me. I have around 30% as well.
only got 2pc t21
the battle cry shield slam is nice for burst, but it's not like a dh, or maybe my warrior alt is still just too undergeared to do good dmg
prot warrior damage is one of the highest on ST, but so is DH tank
I was talking about st burst, how does that compare? like I said, my warrior is only an alt so dont have too indepth knowledge
responding to a 1hr old question :<
prot warriors have really high st burst, with BV, bc ss spam
fair enough
back when I did my mage tower about a month ago it felt pretty poor, but iirc I didnt have 2pc t21 yet back then
compared to my DH I couldnt nearly burst as much on the first debuff
but the BC SS spam is indeed pretty strong
probably would have made that challenge a lot less of a hassle
👋 so I just got the 2pc t21 and I have some questions about tanking trash in m+. Am I supposed to focus SS over anything else during BC for the rage? also is there a number of targets where its better to prioritize revenge or thunder clap?
Well, TC and Revenge both have CDs, and I'm pretty sure that beyond like 2 mobs, Revenge and TC are going to do more than an SS. The only time I really prioritize SS over the other two is on ST
Nah, if TC and Revenge are on CD, you might as well, but don't feel bad about using them over SS
👌
nicely done
On aoe bc you want to prioritise Rev > tc > ss in general it’ll go bc+Rev>tc>Rev>ss>Rev that way you get the max amount of aoe damage in the 5 gcds @formal abyss
If you need rage due to being in threat of dying, then you just ss and spam IP
perfect thanks 😄
Officially have zero crit aside from my artifact weapon. 7.58% :p
Just got nice 955 haste>mast pants to replace 955 crit>haste pants
I'm pretty happy with that
@misty merlin either is fine. I usually equip the 4P only on "big" packs
(as always, depending on your gear and ease with the spec)
In tyranical weeks, i guess 2P is more than enough on most fights
@warm plinth sweet stats *-*
Thanks 😄
stick stat trinket to have that much hast?
nearly no crit dream stats
Yeah like it's impossible for me to have lower crit than that without purposely putting shitty relics in my artifact XD
I have one 915 haste stick with a socket. Without it I have 32.08% haste
Other trink is a 940 chrono shard
so only one stick, guess you had good proc on your gear :p
yeah only one of my haste items has lower haste than the other stat
But I still have some pieces that don't have haste at all
may i get an armory link by curiosity?
And i change gear myself so much that i don't look that much at my stat (only doing mm+, so switching a lot legendaries)
Sure, it's probably not updated but it might be
Yeah it doesn't have my haste stick on or my new leggings
pretty nice indeed :)
Thanks
Leave my chrono shard alone 😭
Nah I'm fine with it. I just don't think it's that great of a trinket haha; would definitely much rather have a 940 haste stick for sure
please mog
😃
I'm colorblind x_x Even if I did try to, it would look like shit anyway
will with that attitude!
lol
sometimes its just the weaponchoice makin a mog lookin good or bad
that glyphmogs tho 😄
I need to just go buy a pvp set or finish the chromie scenario on this toon
i think the rng gods hate me i cant get the belt to drop for me just got the legs
@warm plinth : ty
You can Block thé initial hit, but not thé dot that follows
Was dying from initial hit like a piece of paper
your goal in dogs should be to block every maw
if you dont have shield block up you can nelths fury
Is there a way to ask to add some stuff on the refllect list? It's pretty neat for bosses, but it's missing a lot of nice trashs reflects
Thyme is the one maintaining that spreadsheet, could throw him a pm about it
Thank you, i'll do that when i get some time :)
I don't get how wcl calculates the decimal %
Got a rank 6 on NM dogs but 99.7%...6/23k, doesn't make sense?
The main difference is with the adds, not really a tanking thing thouhg
For tanks its just more damage
Hey all, sorry for the likely stupid question. Was looking through the tanking trinkets sheet and I understand the pantheon trinket isn't that strong.. would it still be a better pick than a darkmoon deck for tanking? or darkmoon>panth?
what ilvl is the pantheon trinket
Pantheon is mostly a boost to your raids performance
Since you'll run at max 2 tanking pantheon trinkets it'll give your raid a lot of extra empowers, meaning higher dps and hps
Pantheon trinket is not that great defensively but for your raids its really strong
panth currently 950
so darkmoon for mythics, panth for raids?
I have a 930 diima's, which I assume won't be swapped for either
Deleted cause I decided to not be an idiot and look at the pins
Lol
Shit healer, shit dps
Grats
@Medrawr would recommend darkmoon for mythics either tho
thanks
Well he gives orbs at least
DMD used to be a fairly strong phy.dr trinket for raid progress last tiers, but its getting outvalued by the alternatives pretty hard
Can anyone recommend a WA for Prot?
Pantheon is still an doable option m+, simple through the fact its an big ilvl vers statstick
@fair vine There are a few WA's in #ui-addons-manager pins
there's also just not a lot of fights in antorus that fit the style that dmd strives in, consistant physical damage, AHC and Maybe aggramar but apoc drive is miles better for agg
Most of them are preference, depends on your UI setup
My bad I looked in the pins for only this channel
Btw do armor modifiers effect DMD for prots?
I know they fixed that for guardian somewhere early NH or so
not that i know of, if at all not nearly as bad as it is for guardian
why woudl i keepo pulling aggro off a palluy tank in heroic agramar pug?
hes getting so mad at me
😦
rememberin smth. about not taking trinketslots into account for multipliers anymore🤔 just not sure if it was for all classes
Tell him hes not using his taunt window properly @junior ivy
i died to foe breaker caus ei had like 13 stacks
All his fault!😁
casue he taunted but i got aggro right backj
@junior ivy most other tanks get butthurt when you tell them youre a threat machine..until you point out that you're doing twice their dps
The moment when ur co-tank is a prot and u realize ur dmg. is shitty as fck ....😁
Yea..had that discussion with a BDK last week. Even had to show him logs that i didnt taunt
We had a nice talk about t21 2p and vers. proccs :slight_smile:
hi guys newbie prot warr here
do i have to keep both my shield block and ignore pain up as much as i can?
i know that shield block, block mele attacks and ignore just ignores the pain basically
but if im doing a big pull what is my priority
ideally you want SB as much as possible while also for blockable abilities, as our active mitigation it's key to have it up while tanking
@sick sentinel did the battle cry glyph cause that?
ya i understan, i usually charge and sb instantly
just making sure im not doing something wrong
@novel temple yeah .. but for stromkar on prot u need some extended testing ^^
@sick sentinel pm me that testing!
the outcomes of that glyphmogs + specc swapping kinda hillarious
I just want a 2h weapon look while tanking
it even buggs ur appearance so u have to reset through phasing sometimes
sure ill give u, np
light's speed vs refractive shields for survival?
im not sure about refractive shields proc but haste is better
Hey guys, at what ilvl difference do you start swapping out your 4pc T20 for T21? I have 4 pieces of T20 sitting at 915i ilvl, with a mythic 930 helm and 950 gloves.
But from a survival standpoint it's still the best combo right? Even with the much lower ilvl? I mean my T21 pieces are like 30 ilvls each above the T20. So I don't know if the ilvl increase outweighs the bonus from T20.
@undone sun bot. WIth T21 and not swimming in rage, is vengeance/SotB any good again or nah?
Let's try Thymes' wondrous helper @timid jay
Wut
not really, the gcd lock t21 puts you in makes it so you can't weave properly
@minor glen if you have 30 ilvl higher t21 I’d definitely ditch t20. The raw stamina/armor/increase in stat budget will be better for overall surv unless you really want the rage for cdr for something specific
So if you do switch out to T21 4pc, does your lego selection change from Walls Fell / Belt to something else? Like the hands / belt or some other combo.
and thx Mgll
Gloves+bracers
Thats the standard defensive setup with t21
Gloves are stronger than TWF, its just that the tier combo takes all slots so you can use gloves.
Thank you
how does golganeth adds work?
on coven heroic
i probably shouldnt be asking after we just wiped to it and should have known bvefore going into the fight but oh well
they zap people who stand on other people
Guys, is there any raidleader around here to answer an OT question?
I've had my share of raidleading
okey
I'm just going to lay this one out there, don't think I'm retarded because of it lol.
Is disc priests barrier stackable?
Like 25+25=50% damage reduction?
Even if they'd stack, stacking DR's dont work that way
So on lets say Imonar
It's pointless to blow both barriers when crossing 2nd/4th bridge?
Is the cooldown even short enough that you get it up for the 4th cross if you use it on the 2nd?
I think they might stack, but it's multiplicative rather than additive, so it would be 0.25+(0.25x0.25) for 31.25% damage reduction
That’s not how multiplicative drs stack either haha
Unless my math is wrong its 43.75% Dr
1-(1-0.25)(1-0.25)=0.4375
👍
what trinkets do you guys usually run in high m+?
Sorry
Been AFk
But okey, so they might stack
but "only" giving 43.75% reduction @timid jay
@hidden kindle dps trinket usually, like memento / horn of valor, since i don't have better
never had 2 disc priests to check if they stack
even in 22-23 keys?
Maybe try focused will? They should know
@hidden kindle 22 23 no need for def ones
Pug have been rough to find, but the EOA 23 i did last week with those, maybe with pantheon trinket, and i didn't had much trouble.
(you know, beside my group ! )
alright thanks
You can always take a tank trinket like agrammars one for some bosses though, if you need the extra defense
i just never felt like i needed it so far
Wops, wrong math thanks @timid jay 
np 👌
sup my pplz
Yeah
is it still bugged, last time i did BRH you couldn't see the lines from the bats
i havent been able to see the lines in a while
No lines, just a debuff
didn't see all of them last week
Wiped us like 6 times.
that sucks
at least if you run him with a havoc DH you only have to worry about the aoe he does, the rest isnt bad
Key was already dead because we had a lock who chain wiped us on ilysanna
I say chain, it was twice
Trash was fine though :)
Can DH soak every one?
blade dance dodges it
feral druids can shift out to bear or something and soak every single one too, although warrior tanks should be able to soak a few regardless
Ah nice
yea we can take quite a few
yea
Although green makes soaking hard
Also,why does he never use brutal haymaker
Healer asked how I would
But honestly never seen it?
He does it when he gets full energy. And I think he gets more energy the harder autoattacks hit you
But his other abilities also cost energy so if you mitigate well, he never does it.
I'm fairly certain that's how it works but you may want to check with more experienced players
Well, he gets some energy even through IP
Cos 90% absorb
yeah his energy bar build up based on how much damage he deals to you with melee attacks
because warrior has a lot of mitigation, he barely gains energy
if you play something like bdk where they take a lot more damage then retroactively heal he will get much more energy
things like that, or cenarius spear are a bit of a middle finger to blood dks haha
I forget what the deal was with that Spear
Bigger puddle based on damage taken right?
Right
yup
what boss u was talking about?
ive soloed smashpite even oin tyrannical soo many times
its one of the easiest bosses to me
like it seems like every time i do brh, the dps and healers seem to die
Yeah, absolutely no way I could've done that on 23 :)
They die if you don't soak the charge well
oih i didnt ,know there was anyhting to soak
his charge
Was the first 23 I've done, and ho nestly it felt much harder even than the 22s. Idk what 28 must be like
can anybody teach me how to play wow?
No need to post in every channel 🤔
🤔
As for more specific warrior guides there are pinned guides in ever spec channel
how to play wow? just make a female character and go to goldshire
i dont think anyone go +28 high in tyranical weeks
bosses becomes nearly impossible to survive simply
and in fortified weeks +28 boss is like +25 tyranical which is also really hard 😄
I guess
It's 10% harder,but it compounds,right. So of my 22 is (say)650% increased damage,23 is 715?
tbh not every boss in tyranical high keys is super hard
i think that %15 damage increase is in top
like its %715 harder + %15
but every +1 key is like %10 harder
It's mutltiplicative isn't it? So 715%×1.15? And 715×1.4 on hp. They take ages to kill with like 1.1bn hp
it's multaplicative
multiplicative*
and yea, two keys have been done on time at 27 tyrannical
last boss in CoS had 1.9b hp
Couple questions on pushing DPS. Gloves and Belt for most things non single target, is there a better leggo combo for single target? And running Belt, BV and 2p 21 should I be waiting a few seconds on BC for Demo to come up? Or just mash them on CD?
Only thing potentially better for pure single target dps is AHR if you can completely utilize the absorb effect.
And I wouldn't hold BC more than a second or two. It comes back up so fast
Things like aggramar, or any ST where I can get a full bubble break every CD of the trinket. Cool.
Yeah, I've been trying to be better about not dumping my rage during a BC so I can make BC come up faster
using rage during still lowers the cd
Ah, I thought the buff had to fall off first. Good to know.
Idk if you can on Aggramar but try it out and see what works for you
No, it goes on CD as soon as used so any rage consumed will start lowering it
Thanks guys, we have what we do on farm so its time to start the DPS races for the next couple months.
yah sometimes even IP capped I dump rage just to refresh cooldowns
using certain talents and tier
on an unrelated note: except access to allied races, what reason is there to prepurchase BFA?
Boost
Does prot warr need a lot of external healing for +15-20 keys? I mained blood so I'm used to self healing damage
depends if you use bracers or not
our toolkit is about preventing as much damage as you can, bracers help with recovery
@proven sandal the leggos ring from Argus is good if you manage to get 3xttw/3xshadowbind relics
Hey guys simple question, my block says 44% redux, so 88% on a crit block. Is the 12% from 7/7 traits added on-top or included already
No worries. I wish it was another 14% on top 😂
Yeah I had a moment of confusion but I think it was just inhore pain making it look like it was doing 100% lol
For foe breaker I use NF or SR?
Nf
Gotta get that 100 mil block though, so save it for 2nd one
I hope you mean SB 🤔
Why would you not use NF?
Spell reflect, I was asking if it was magical or physical
I did, was still confuzzled
is there a alternative to legendary bracers in next expansion?, been interested in activating wow again but if warriors are going back to being 100% reliant on other players to tank ill think i skip
ic, not gonna activate then, dont feel like spending time on a gamble since wo self-healing, its pointless to play
I wouldn't rule it out yet. It's still very early in alpha
true, can just wait a month or two before expansion and rush the content this expansion i suppose
Yep yep. Should be easily able to get everything you want done in terms of appearances/unlocks for this expansion.
Watching my Blood dk off tank die taking 2 stacks of foe breaker and dieing and then me not taking damage is very spicyu
Is there any kind of guideline for when its worth it to take a non-haste neck/ring? For example I have a 935 high haste/mast ring and a 960 high vers/mast ring
Why is he taking 2 stacks of Foebreaker though?
None of the guides seem to go into detail on when jewelry ilvl is worth more than stat prio. I'm already over 30% haste without the haste ring fwiw
20 ilevels is generally accepted as the "equip this" point for jewelry
👌
30% haste is arbitrary, nothing happens at 30% haste
a few guides mention 25 and 30 as good points to have to fit in rotations
It's a very very old breakpoint that somehow still gets passed around
ah :c
Its a year old
🤷 i didn't write the guides
Yes you did, you filthy guide writer
😭
There's a 35% breakpoint mentioned in the guide I believe, which is 100% shield block uptime if you're using Heavy Repercussions, but we don't use that anymore.
For this, you’d need somewhere around 35-40% haste with Heavy Repercussions
But yeah, since we dont play HR anymore its a moot point
sorry it was bastion talking about t21, I'm just reading too much into the numbers 😃
Hey, I play HR....and Indomitable and into the fray. And lets not forget the MVP 
🤦
Least you don't sim that vengeance is more dps than BV...
Sims don't work for us. For anything
The upcoming nightly build might have something to say about that
a working APL is in the making for once the simc build is pushed
Sneak preview, current nightly build still has some issues
If you want all the fixes you will have to download the code directly and build it yourself
APL is pending as stated
So, my bear gets all the luck with items in the weekly chest...
That's what he got the last 2 weeks
I currently have 0 avoidance on warrior. Sucks quite a bit 😦
Meanwhile the bear is sitting at 18%
Thanks to those rings, 2 traits and a 930 goblet with avoidance
My tier cloak has avoidance and socket. But I has 960 cloak instead :/
I'm at the point where I'm almost begging people to trade me their relics so I can go gamble on bastion+avoidance trait in the crucible whenever a relic drops 😄
My relics mostly come from M+. Sadly only 1 has rolled Bastion
Ive got 3 bastion, but all have pretty meh traits in second row
Having 3 bastion is hard enough man. Now you want good T2 traits
haha yep 😄
I'm sure it'll come together
I've vendored so many Iron/Fire relics though since they rolled neither bastion nor Unrivaled Strength
I've been a bit lucky on relics, got 3 of those for fury aswell
Though the ilvl on those are a bit on the lower end
Just got a 940 memento 😄
is prot warr a lot harder to manage than a prot pal or blood dk in 15-20 keys?
Blood DK is certainly easier
I don't really have any issues at all in 15s
Blood is easier because they really don't ever have buttons they have to press outside of specific boss mechanics
prot pal has the extra interrupts which can be helpful, but otherwise I'd say both prot specs are roughly similar
I got 100% mastery today, not in optimal gear but whenever i tank and have shield block up, i crit block all the time 😃
It works! \o/
I mean
still missing few percent for that feelin i guess
100% mastery works, but it's not optimal or actually decent for anything other than Argus
And even then, it's not required
But the memes!

tbh im not workin on it actively..my speedset is masterystack tho :thinking:
back on guardian meanwhile. 932 feels scary compared to a protlife :grin:
Guardian feels squishier in general to me, in M+ anyway
No spellreflect tho ..
Yeah, it's nice being able to heal like 65% of your health in one FR, but as a warrior I just wouldn't have taken the damage in the first place lol
Damn no freakin Ursol anymore, lul. too bad what they did there
I really wish they had just nerfed it a bit instead of removing it entirely. It's not even OP in this tier of raiding tbh
Like I don't think it would've been unreasonable to keep it but put it on like a 20-25 sec CD
nah .. at this point it was just ironfur & frenzy outta control
they just did the "classfantasy" 😃
Yeah like...Adaptive Fur isn't terrible but it's just not enough in the situations where you actually even care about magic mitigation
idk .. just kinda odd balance decision to remove a button u have to actually care about ..from a class with 4 buttons 🤷
Lol, indeed.
Good morning everyone! it is possible the hidden skin for prot. warri via serverhop to farm?
Nope
Because you have to get the emote first, which is a personal quest flag for you
the emote is a must? because a friend said that she didn´t got it but could loot the skin
Yes, it's a must. if she thinks she didn't get it, she just missed it
ah oki then thanks for the answer, then its just pure rng 😦
ah 1 last question. u dont must hav clear any quest on highmountain?
Not that I'm aware.
20 with good group should be just fine but i would try +22 tbh
at least get good knowledge then reset it to +21 and do it in time
I honestly think you'd need to have ridiculous DPS to kill 3rd boss on 22
i did +20 it wasnt in time but 3rd boss wasnt the problem
adds are really important tentacles was dealing lots of damage +22 would be alot harder but can be done with good healer
and last boss is also problem after like 50 stacks damage is really high people should rotate their defensive cds before boss kills them
So tried it
first boss - cake
2nd boss, took 2 tries, but managed it
3rd boss
basically couldn't kill it
just too much hp on tentacles means healer can't keep everyone up while needing to kill adds
also,he basically trucks me
will use spell reflect pants next time i think
yeah 3rd boss is just like arcway caster boss
until a point damage is nearly none but after that it hits alot
hey guys can I get an IP weakaura
@gloomy light https://wago.io/search/Type:+WeakAura+Ignore+pain
Database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
Wait, is 100% mastery/mastery set needed for Argus?
no
Ok cool
Not needed, it's a bit of meme
Btw, did anyone try Gorshalach's legacy in high mm+ fortified? Seemed nice for the stats, but the proc seems pretty long to pop
Proc rate is nerfed for tanks anyway, not worth it
Much better trinkets are available
Too bad, could have be nice :( Thank you :)
Hi, anyone who have done Argus mythic while using a guardian to solo tank at the 2nd chains in p3?
Anyone here have an armory link to a progression-raiding prot warrior? Our raid leader doesn't really like his prot warrior for progression raiding, favoring his monk instead. I'm curious what a heroic-argus prot warrior looks like.
"Heroic"? Don't you want a mythic one?
sure I'd take a mythic one too
Our guild is progressing through Heroic at the moment, and I thought there might be a greater pool of people with a prot warrior if I didn't set the standard at mythic.
I'm only doing heroic pug clears, and mm+, if you want mine
otherwise, you can always look at wowprogress and filter for warrior, that might be good enough
Could send you my armory, progressing m argus atm
Could send you the armory of people who already killed M argus as prot warrior as well if you want that instead
@plush summit im more intrested why he doesnt want prot warriors
Maybe he watches Sco 🤔
ayyyyyy
tldr warrior: punishing, but if u play correctly, u take no dmg
esp on heroic the idea of declining a tank class is absurd
like, REALLY absurd
Especially one that's so strong on some of the harder bosses like Aggramar and Argus
Decided to finally try mage tower for tank. Did the 6pc setup, full dps build. 5 pulls of just pure dps zerg and god it
so many shield slams = dead things
nice
36 shield slams, 29 of them crit, 32% of my overall damage
i just did soooo bad on a votw 17 and usualluy im good at that dungeon 😦
wow grats !
🤦
Don't worry Thyme, you would be proud. I DMed the poor soul and directed them here.

XD
@little rain Gg ! Show thoses fake tank that warrior are better *-*
holy fuck
i jsut do normal vari on alt
other tank didnt taunt off
i die to melees wit debuff
raid leader removes both tanks
??????????????????????????????????????????
classic 😃
Pugs
Removed Levko because bad
death strike heals so much
🙃
wit 100% heal reduction
Yeah DK has to be like the shittiest tank for that fight lol
had a random DK co-tank in herioc .. he kept jumping around like a chicken 2-3 wipes. got removed - cuz yea, i died. lul
i can solo on warr
not on this slow
pices of shit
16% haste
i can alt tab until i can press a button of my rotation
in votw on last boss as tankm do i use the light?
Not if a ranged can do it
I'm the same way, but I also get annoyed having to move the boss constantly to clear the shit on the ground
Same as Levko/ At some point your group will probably say to give it to your healer though
i did so bad in that votw 17 that i never wnana do m+ again
wasnt casue of clicking
i dunno why i did so bad
i flew off the edge twice on last boss
Hey Lev
if only u had a timer
How you like that haste?
for kick
ocne i touched the wall guys
i like it
Wait, is your haste before bone shield or after?
Because Blizz, reasons, stuff
Critting with NF isn't OP? XD
I'm so lazy right now I'm gonna take a flight path to Val'sharah
Lol...that awkward moment when you don't even have any flight paths in Val'sharah
i use skyhold teleport system
ait
i think almost all artifacts are crit mastery just because haste or vers would be more obvious
hey guys, need tips for felhounds mythic ... should Shatug by kited or maybe it can be kept in one place
?
srry for my Eng its not my mother tongue
being at 80% haste when hero goes out is such a good feeling
Note to self: 10 stacks of soul blade hurts even on regular mythic
Why do some people have a + next to their haste 🤔
training that mastery at the gym 
I mean...I don't have a + next to mine though lol
Is the tank pantheon trinket worth it or will I get by with a dps one? Or angerboda and seeping scourge
For m+
@ember arrow and how about fire dog, do you kite him in small circle for half of the map.>
?
@ember arrow Working for me
Sorry, should have DMed that actually D:
the one that did the pools on the dps needs to be moved yes
ahh so fire
other one was tank and spanked
yee thought so 😉 thx any other tips? I feel that on mythic there is less dmg
because if u tank the doggo u got the debuff(buff) from
u take 25% less dmg from that
it switches half way tru the fight, u can swap and keep the reduced dmg, or dont and just tank the same on all fight
so if u get fire debuff and tank fire doge, u take 25% less fire dmg
have you tried tank same dog without reducion?
i didnt
we oneshot them though and after too i remember
so i didnt have tiem to practice much
jsut sticked wit swapping till i took raidbreak basically
i dont actually know if it makes a big difference
It was easily doable to tank the same dog the whole time in week one, in fact you had to on a lot of pulls
Idk if they fixed it or something but tanks used to get the same buff a lot of the time
ye but when i started that fighrt first time
that bug wasnt present
i assumed it was intended swap, like swaps on other fights, so we both tanks shrugged and did it
Yeah it was
esp since they dont take the 100% dmg boost when u swap
The worst part is the tank on shadow has the fire debuff and spawned the void zones
It was a bit of a shitshow
but yea, i pref to be as safe as possible, even on farm, esp if it doesnt affect dps or tanks much
👍
guys dumb question how do i critically block?
RNG from mastery or by using the artifact ability
so every block while using my artifact ability will be 100% crit and proc my scales of earth ya?
Scales of earth has a chance to trigger on crit blocks
alright ty
does old war do more dmg then prolonged for prot?
pretty sure old war beats prolonged on pure ST
wait really?
not suprised @junior ivy mostly because of the fact that during your burst with T21. The amount of spamming your doing and rage spending. old war procs ALOT
That being said, prolonged are generally much cheaper and I'm way too cheap to do that. Plus you have more uptime on Prolonged; I feel like it's probably not that much of a difference. Old War is PPM and it's not like we have a lack of abilities being used even without T21 2pc.
What do you guys think about Best Serves Cold talent for Mythic Eonar?
Best Served Cold Talent
Its a dish best served
So it's good?
unneeded, the trash packs that are 5+ usually die too fast for it to matter
Yeah, when I killed it yesterday the packs would die pretty quick
Just thought it would be good because of the amount of adds spawning
Yeah as a tank I focus on slowing and stunning more so then dosing on that fight
I'm a bit salty about that fight because the pull before we killed it I parsed a 99 percentile healing :/
And we were 3% away from killing it :/
Parses on Eonar are a joke anyway tbh
yeah I parse highly on DPS and I don't exactly do anything special
other bosses I sort of have to through caution to the wind to get my DPS parses up there
Guildie just gave me these, I'm quite happy 😄
Indeed they are !
Those are really nice
Thanks to those I got my crit down even lower 😄
those are some solid numbers right there, don't think there's too much more you can shave off outside of equipping a timewalking weapon
True, and that's never gonna happen
kakushans still good ?
it was never bad
just trying to go for big dps in M+
just got the gloves so i was thinking sephuz/belt and then while sephuz is on CD gloves+belt
think belt/glove is biggest dps overall
Got to 110 yesterday, got 4pc T21 from my first N run last night
and none of the pieces dropped for me lol. They all dropped for the only other Warrior in the group and he passed them all to me
gz
only on uses triggers the cd when changing slots
yeah so in M+ switching out from sephuz between packs is pretty lit
Hmm, good to know. Not entirely sure it's worth swapping that often for me though lol
What level keys are you doing this on?
It should be up every pack maybe even twice in a pack unless the key is very low
yeah maybe not worth for prot ...
That's quite a frequent gear change for idk. Maybe it's substantial, but not sure it's enough for me to want to do it personally.
but when i arms switching legendarys inbetween packs is worth
Yeah perhaps.
but for prot i think it might be minimal
Idk anything about arms though. Most packs on relevant keys are gonna last longer than 10 seconds, and I feel like you'll end up getting more benefit from gloves over that longer period than Sephuz
For prot ofc
also some packs u really want to just destroy as fast as possible
so maybe u go sephuz for the burst
Sephuz+gloves most likely
I could see it going either way. Definitely don't think I'd have gloves equipped on a larger pack over belt though. You can get demo shout up super fast on bigger packs.
yeah true but if its a pack ur wanting to burst i think demo shout uptime would be enough
Could be. Seems highly situational to me. It's good info though for sure. Definitely not worth it from my perspective.
if you kill it within 1 DS duration, then yeah prob gloves+sephuz
like that pack right before the first boss in Vault on fortified RIP
Yeah, I'd almost put it down to personal preference but I feel like gloves over belt is the wrong way to go on any AoE situation, unless as Cosmo said, you know it's going to be dead within one duration of Demo
the belt is really a nutty legendary
on any fight with adds your demo shout up time is OP
Yeah it's pretty sexy. Makes daily heroics fun; nothing quite like getting demo shout off CD with one Thunder Clap 😂 Of course the benefit is kinda lost there since you basically 2-3 shot any heroic level mob anyway
i sometimes like to Meme with the arms helm and ravager
still get the now witness true power feeling
the Burst with KJs trinket is a bit nuts
best talent
Staaahp
i use it when i do Maw 4 times for the weekly
In M+, on bosses that don't require you to run a defensive legendary (aka like hymdall) what legos do y'all run?
the big first pack and pulling the entire boat DPS cant compete
Gloves and belt
gloves and belt my dude
belt's good even with one target?
Yeah you really don't need defensive legendaries for any boss. Unless you want to solo the boss after the rest of the group wipes
Should probably keep bracers equipped then 😂
yeah i was playing around with swapping out belt for kakushans or ahr
just on bosses, ofc
AHR can be good DPS but I wouldn't use it unless I could pop a Last Stand buffed bubble tbh
sephuz aint bad if u can proc it on CD single target
Like I can see AHR being good on fights like Oakheart where you know you're gonna take a bunch of damage from the grip
So you can just pop LS+AHR and let the grip pop it
that's a great idea actually
never thought of it
^
Alright well, I'll swap to gloves and if i'm confident in the group gloves/belt
On tyr keys you'd probably even get two uses of it
thanks for the advice!
keeping up 1 mil single target on the dummy with sephuz+gloves probably more if a boss is hitting u to give u rage
The leggo pants are great for tyrannical oakheart
Since we're having this discussion, the lastest code from SimC is fully supporting prot warriors from what I've seen (offensively)
mind u thats keeping revenge on CD so healer might hate u
wait really
not necessarily, SR should be up for every grip without legs
Theres no APL made for it yet and you need to compile the code yourself but at least making a decent APL isnt too hard for prot warriors
and on a higher tyr keys you should be getting 2 or 3 grips depending on your DPS
What is the plan to implement rage for damage taken? Or is this meant with BfA in mind where it's no longer a thing?
AHR is pretty spicy for single target damage if you can ensure that the shield will be fully soaked
RFDT has always "worked" its just a matter of configuring your enemy to match a realistic RFDT for the content you want to sim
Comparing the RFDT to logs is a good way to do it
I see. So you can give it a damage profile and it'll calculate the RFDT according to that
Damage taken profile that is, i.e. from logs as you say
You can make custom enemies, I just use the standard TMI bosses
There will probably be a pinned post once a APL is released and the build is up over at the nightly builds download over at SimC
Hopefully the pin will have instructions for scrubs like me too haha
Wait, RFDT isn't a thing anymore in BfA?
afaik it's based on melees instead of all damage
