(Did general random in arcway 19 earlier at 3 people, healer dead, on first cleave)

soft condor
#

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

restive scroll
#

That too, indeed

prisma crane
#

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

soft condor
#

Yes, that is a point

#

Thanks for all those inputs

unborn island
#

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

vocal canopy
#

how good is the trinket Code of the crack world ? as prot warrior

stiff gate
#

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?

errant remnant
#

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 ? 😃

vocal canopy
#

tank trinket from Portal keeper 😃

undone sun
#

yeah, riftworld codex

stiff gate
#

That trinket is incredible on multitarget, not that good on single though

undone sun
#

decent for AoE

stiff gate
#

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

undone sun
#

being a hybrid trinket it doesn't really excel in either categories being offense and defense, there are definitely better options

sick sentinel
#

its good when you are swaping trinkets

#

both for dps and defence diimas is better option

stiff gate
#

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

undone sun
#

must not have a lot

stiff gate
#

Diima’s only helps against physical damage though, and it’s dps is pretty bad

sick sentinel
#

bad what

#

nvm mate

stiff gate
#

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*

sick sentinel
#

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

stiff gate
#

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

sick sentinel
#

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

stiff gate
#

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.

sick sentinel
#

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

stiff gate
#

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

undone sun
#

don't forget about shivermaw

sick sentinel
#

i swap beetwen glaives and diimas if going for one big pull after another

stiff gate
#

Tfw no Shivermaw 😦

sick sentinel
#

shivermaw is great if i could get my hands on one

#

even 910 from relinquished

stiff gate
#

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

sick sentinel
#

about a question I had earlier, do you prefer riftworld codex or stat sticks for M+ (defensively)

#

riftworld codex

undone sun
#

aoe vs. st

#

codex aoe, stick st

sick sentinel
#

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

undone sun
#

yeah it's not as good for us as it is for say a monk or dk but it's not terrible for aoe

sick sentinel
#

seeing as a stat stick with haste also gives me more rage to convert

#

k

undone sun
#

Ignore pain scales off AP and verse, so it does

sick sentinel
#

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

undone sun
#

mastery does contribute to AP, yes

sick sentinel
#

ye, my stats fool me

#

so 10% more strength is 10% bigger IP

fleet galleon
#

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

sand trout
#

What's thehard haste cap? Thepoint where just now hate is an issue?

undone sun
#

117%

sand trout
#

...seriously?

undone sun
#

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%

prisma crane
#

i love the 117% answer

#

it's both accurate and lets people realize how pointless super haste stacking alone is

undone sun
#

yup

sand trout
#

Considering all three specs need haste

fleet galleon
#

It's hard to not come off as trolling when you say 117% though haha

timid jay
#

That is the cap though

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

prisma crane
#

yea, but anyone who knows what 13/6 is with respect to haste knows you're not 😉

fleet galleon
#

Not everyone will make that association though.

prisma crane
#

i mean, 117 is troll though, the real cap is a whole 1/3rd % less than that

modest crest
#

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

prisma crane
#

it is, but if you have something like a high shivermaws, you can achieve larger burst

undone sun
#

yeah, considering how much strength it has at such ilevel it's hard to pass up

modest crest
#

So do you just swap out in between fights when a cooldown is waiting and leave one always on?

fleet galleon
#

Diimas is no good against a pack of casters though

#

In terms of defence

sand trout
#

Which bosses on ant would be best for defensive trinkets and which ones van i get away with using dps ones on

undone sun
#

that's entirely subjective based on comfortability

prisma crane
#

i like that Diima's has a large range and is instant dmg

fleet galleon
#

Up to your comfort level and difficulty you're running

prisma crane
#

and with vers procs up, it hits pretty damn hard

modest crest
#

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?

fleet galleon
#

I haven't used mine since I got it last week but I think it'll see a lot more use this weekend

prisma crane
#

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

fleet galleon
#

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

modest crest
#

Isn’t riftworld codex triggered by taking dmg? Anyone know the proc rate?

fleet galleon
#

It is. Idk the proc rate off hand though

undone sun
#

yes and 3rppm per portal

#

speculated*

fleet galleon
#

RPPM means it's modified by haste, yeah?

modest crest
#

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

fleet galleon
#

1 proc does damage but not a lot

undone sun
#

three portals, 1 heal, 1 absorb and 1 aoe that also heals based on damage done

old zephyr
#

There is à flame portal that deal AoE Damages and heal you of some amount of them

fleet galleon
#

Not more than dedicated damage trinkets obviously

old zephyr
#

Prot war already deal loads of dmgs

modest crest
#

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

fleet galleon
#

Most trinkets are very situational so if you know where they excel and can utilize them accordingly, it becomes much easier

soft condor
#

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

feral acorn
#

so i just started tankin and i dont really understand the rankin of trinkets and how i should be evaluating them

round hornet
#

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

acoustic barn
#

Fuck this mage tower 😦

#

Gotten my ass kicked so many times now

smoky garnet
#

@timid jay im chasing your ass now

feral acorn
#

i been reading i just dont really understand it LOL

timid jay
#

monkaS

round hornet
#

Well, what do you not understand about how it is explained in that guide?

junior ivy
#

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

languid rose
#

still haven't seen a diima's or apoc drive drop 😦

junior ivy
#

im farming a TF'ed dimas right now

#

i got 945 one

#

id like to get 960 or soemthing

languid rose
#

got 960 eye and codex

astral swan
#

how is the tanking pantheon trinket?

analog stirrup
#

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

oblique pike
#

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

round hornet
#

1k ilvl panth is so much str 😄

oblique pike
#

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

unborn island
#

Managed a 22 Cos in time,felt good when everyone at the start was like , oh no,prot warrior

prisma crane
#

@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

analog stirrup
#

we were planning on 3 tanking at first, two stay and one does portals

prisma crane
#

and of course dodging the blasts while interupting imps

analog stirrup
#

thank you @prisma crane

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

fleet galleon
#

That sounds insanely painful. Can you BoP the stacks off?

prisma crane
#

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

astral swan
#

@oblique pike mine is 940, so nothing fancy

#

got a 935 djima and 930 smoldering

#

which two should i use?

oblique pike
#

smoldering generally bad unless you have a specific use for it

cloud bone
#

For dps leggos we want to use the belt and the gloves right?

deft sapphire
#

yes

cloud bone
#

cool thanks 😄

night imp
#

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

undone sun
#

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

timid jay
#

Why 3? 2 Is more than enough time to let stacks drop off

#

Stat orbs?

night imp
#

ye I've seen quite a few people do 1-3-2-2-2-etc

undone sun
#

mostly yeah, easier to manage timings

night imp
#

just to make first 2 orbs line up

undone sun
#

plus it was me and paladin so SB/SoTR charges

timid jay
#

aight

night imp
#

and in p2 2stacks just works out for the avatar buff?

undone sun
#

yeah, first avatar is based on threat and the timings are just ring to allow for an easy switch at 2

naive pendant
#

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

timid jay
#

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

naive pendant
#

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?

prisma crane
#

gloves will be slightly more rage, but you're gonna prob use SW a lot in that fight

naive pendant
#

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

timid jay
#

Demo does nothing for mines

naive pendant
#

oh it does count as imonar's damge?

#

doesn't*

timid jay
#

I dont think they do

undone sun
#

environmental

naive pendant
#

ty krotos, i'll try different combos

#

ok

timid jay
#

Bracers help a lot if you do clear the Dot mines

naive pendant
#

well i guess i'll have one SW for the first clear on each platform

timid jay
#

I always question why people feel the need to clear so many bombs on the platforms 🤔

naive pendant
#

ty thyme. i guess just save demo shout for a string of shield slams for more rage

#

and active tanking

astral swan
#

@oblique pike ill use the two others then, thanks 😃

sick sentinel
#

Anyone ever run indomnitable in dungeons, or is it just kinda like
no

fleet galleon

No

Just curious, +20 hyrja was nearly killiing me through SR and AHR

junior ivy

what dungeon ikjs that

#

why doesnt it look familiar

#

nm its NL

lime steeple
#

For prot mage tower, whats the minimum health reduced debuffs you want to have?

jade thorn
#

for the challenge, should I use 930 chrono shard, 945 Forgfiend's Fireguard, or 930 smoldering titanguard?

undone sun
#

@lime steeple ~4-5 depending on comfort
@jade thorn probably chrono

lime steeple
#

Yeah I almost had him that try, though no reflect for debuff that he casted on me.

#

So his health just shot up

jade thorn
#

so smoldering and chrono?

undone sun
#

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

copper ridge
#

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

undone sun
#

i assume the 955 doesn't have bastion?

copper ridge
#

nope

#

or training shield

#

its will to survive

jade thorn
#

so I just have poor trinkets? fantastic

undone sun
#

at least for the challenge, both phases are more of a dps race @jade thorn

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

copper ridge
#

you think i should take ilvl over bastion?

deft sapphire
#

never

copper ridge
#

not even 15ilvl

deft sapphire
#

no

#

i wouldn't take 50 ilvl

fleet galleon
#

Not defensively

#

Worth any amount of ilvl for defense

deft sapphire
#

if a relic doesn't have/roll bastion i dont put it in my prot weapon lol

copper ridge
#

kk cool lol

lime steeple
#

cuntttttt

#

4.6m hp left and annih killed me

#

D:

jade thorn
#

i wasn't that close, but I was close

lime steeple
#

Might of got it if i used last stand.

jade thorn
#

that was embarrasing... mouse stopped working and I ran off the edge

lime steeple
#

I either get really good attempts or extremely shit ones. Never in between

jade thorn
#

ther is no in between

lime steeple
#

And

#

again

#

4m hp but he gets the buff on him so he heals back up to like 35%

#

so mad

jade thorn
#

going ot be so happy when he's dead

night imp
#

fel oiled infernal machine might honestly be pretty good

#

for burst dps

lime steeple
#

i did it

night imp
#

but guess prot war doesnt really do much ST burst dps nowadays

lime steeple
#

holy fuck

night imp
#

gz

lime steeple
#

shockwave. you fucking beautiful saviour

languid rose
#

Oromis do you not have t21?

junior ivy
#

was in maw +19. attempteds first boss, died, realized i only had one legendary on lol

pearl jetty
#

is there a certain haste point you want as prot or do you just keep stacking?

warm plinth
#

Just keep stacking. There are breakpoints if you have 2pc T21 but they don't devalue haste if you pass them

pearl jetty
#

bet thanks

warm plinth
#

Just make sure ilevel still takes priority over haste

pearl jetty
#

ya I just got the leggo ring and with it I have 31% haste (don't have gloves or belt yet)

warm plinth
#

Sounds fine to me. I have around 30% as well.

night imp
#

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

deft sapphire
#

prot warrior damage is one of the highest on ST, but so is DH tank

night imp
#

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 :<

deft sapphire
#

prot warriors have really high st burst, with BV, bc ss spam

night imp
#

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

misty merlin
#

4pc or ilvl for m+?

#

just doing a 16

#

im thinking ilvl gear just for dps

formal abyss
#

👋 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?

warm plinth
#

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

formal abyss
#

alright

#

so don't aim for 5 SS during the BC window then if i'm tanking aoe

warm plinth
#

Nah, if TC and Revenge are on CD, you might as well, but don't feel bad about using them over SS

formal abyss
#

👌

formal abyss
#

nicely done

deft sapphire
#

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

formal abyss
#

perfect thanks 😄

warm plinth
#

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

restive scroll
#

@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 *-*

warm plinth
#

Thanks 😄

restive scroll
#

stick stat trinket to have that much hast?

sick sentinel
#

nearly no crit dream stats

warm plinth
#

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

restive scroll
#

so only one stick, guess you had good proc on your gear :p

warm plinth
#

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

restive scroll
#

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)

warm plinth
#

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 :)

u were the one complaining! 😛

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

sick sentinel
#

can you block the maw thing on felhounds?

#

Or is it like stack IP time?

warm plinth
#

You can block it.

#

Check pins for the block/reflect spreadsheet. It's very helpful.

sick sentinel
#

@warm plinth : ty

old zephyr
#

You can Block thé initial hit, but not thé dot that follows

sick sentinel
#

Was dying from initial hit like a piece of paper

deft sapphire
#

your goal in dogs should be to block every maw

#

if you dont have shield block up you can nelths fury

restive scroll
#

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

timid jay
#

Thyme is the one maintaining that spreadsheet, could throw him a pm about it

restive scroll
#

Thank you, i'll do that when i get some time :)

I don't get how wcl calculates the decimal %

white goblet
#

what's the difference in tanking aggramar on hero?

#

did it only on norm

timid jay
#

The main difference is with the adds, not really a tanking thing thouhg

#

For tanks its just more damage

unique echo
#

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?

junior ivy
#

what ilvl is the pantheon trinket

timid jay
#

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

unique echo
#

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

DMD used to be a fairly strong phy.dr trinket for raid progress last tiers, but its getting outvalued by the alternatives pretty hard

fair vine

Can anyone recommend a WA for Prot?

sick sentinel

Pantheon is still an doable option m+, simple through the fact its an big ilvl vers statstick

timid jay
undone sun
#

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

timid jay
#

Most of them are preference, depends on your UI setup

fair vine
#

My bad I looked in the pins for only this channel

sick sentinel
#

Btw do armor modifiers effect DMD for prots?

#

I know they fixed that for guardian somewhere early NH or so

undone sun
#

not that i know of, if at all not nearly as bad as it is for guardian

junior ivy
#

why woudl i keepo pulling aggro off a palluy tank in heroic agramar pug?

#

hes getting so mad at me

#

😦

sick sentinel
#

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

junior ivy
#

i died to foe breaker caus ei had like 13 stacks

sick sentinel
#

All his fault!😁

junior ivy
#

casue he taunted but i got aggro right backj

unborn island

@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

sick sentinel
#

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:

vital fulcrum
#

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

novel temple
#

JokeZ#7937 wait

#

Did the battle cry glyph cause that look @sick sentinel

vital fulcrum
#

but if im doing a big pull what is my priority

undone sun
#

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

novel temple
#

@sick sentinel did the battle cry glyph cause that?

vital fulcrum
#

ya i understan, i usually charge and sb instantly

#

just making sure im not doing something wrong

sick sentinel
#

@novel temple yeah .. but for stromkar on prot u need some extended testing ^^

novel temple
#

@sick sentinel pm me that testing!

sick sentinel
#

the outcomes of that glyphmogs + specc swapping kinda hillarious

novel temple
#

I just want a 2h weapon look while tanking

sick sentinel
#

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?

sick sentinel
#

im not sure about refractive shields proc but haste is better

minor glen
#

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.

sick sentinel
#

if you dont need defense anymore you can swap

#

combo is great but not needed

minor glen
#

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.

zealous ore
#

@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

timid jay
#

Wut

undone sun
#

not really, the gcd lock t21 puts you in makes it so you can't weave properly

zealous ore
#

AIght

#

I guess its still useless under BC

#

Makes sense

deft sapphire
#

@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

minor glen
#

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

timid jay
#

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.

minor glen

Thank you

Guys, is there any raidleader around here to answer an OT question?

vocal nimbus
#

I've had my share of raidleading

hollow tundra
#

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?

timid jay
#

Even if they'd stack, stacking DR's dont work that way

hollow tundra
#

So on lets say Imonar

#

It's pointless to blow both barriers when crossing 2nd/4th bridge?

timid jay
#

Is the cooldown even short enough that you get it up for the 4th cross if you use it on the 2nd?

blazing dune
#

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

deft sapphire
#

That’s not how multiplicative drs stack either haha

timid jay
#

Unless my math is wrong its 43.75% Dr

1-(1-0.25)(1-0.25)=0.4375
deft sapphire
#

👍

hidden kindle
#

what trinkets do you guys usually run in high m+?

hollow tundra
#

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

You can always take a tank trinket like agrammars one for some bosses though, if you need the extra defense

unborn island
#

Just did a 23 BRH. Smashspite is such a mess

#

So much green

prisma crane
#

it does eventually clear

#

but it turns into a clusterfuck

unborn island
#

Yeah

deft sapphire
#

is it still bugged, last time i did BRH you couldn't see the lines from the bats

prisma crane
#

i havent been able to see the lines in a while

unborn island
#

No lines, just a debuff

restive scroll
#

didn't see all of them last week

unborn island
#

Wiped us like 6 times.

deft sapphire
#

that sucks

prisma crane
#

at least if you run him with a havoc DH you only have to worry about the aoe he does, the rest isnt bad

unborn island
#

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?

deft sapphire
#

blade dance dodges it

prisma crane
#

yea

#

unlimited stacks

#

blade dance is super OP

deft sapphire
#

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

unborn island
#

Ah nice

prisma crane
#

yea we can take quite a few

unborn island
#

Soaking like wasn't the issue

#

Combination of green+the aoe

prisma crane
#

yea

unborn island
#

Although green makes soaking hard

#

Also,why does he never use brutal haymaker

#

Healer asked how I would

#

But honestly never seen it?

fleet galleon
#

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.

unborn island
#

So block + up means no energy

#

Ip*

fleet galleon
#

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

deft sapphire
#

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

fleet galleon
#

I forget what the deal was with that Spear

#

Bigger puddle based on damage taken right?

undone sun
#

yeah

#

even blockable too

fleet galleon
#

Right

#

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

unborn island
#

Yeah, absolutely no way I could've done that on 23 :)

junior ivy
#

oh hahah didnt know it was such a high key

#

i havent doen it above +16

unborn island
#

They die if you don't soak the charge well

junior ivy
#

oih i didnt ,know there was anyhting to soak

prisma crane
#

his charge

unborn island
#

Was the first 23 I've done, and ho nestly it felt much harder even than the 22s. Idk what 28 must be like

prisma crane
#

10% more hp and dmg

#

the 28 would be 61% more health and damage than the 23

#

can anybody teach me how to play wow?

timid jay
#

No need to post in every channel 🤔

timid jay
#

As for more specific warrior guides there are pinned guides in ever spec channel

languid rose
#

how to play wow? just make a female character and go to goldshire

sick sentinel
#

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 😄

unborn island
#

I guess

#

It's 10% harder,but it compounds,right. So of my 22 is (say)650% increased damage,23 is 715?

sick sentinel
#

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

ember arrow
#

tyr arent hard for tanks usually

#

but for dps 😄

#

usually oneshot issues

willow lotus
#

5 Prot Wars for +22 Hyrja

#

Lol

unborn island
#

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

prisma crane
#

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?

fleet galleon
#

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

proven sandal
#

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

languid rose
#

using rage during still lowers the cd

proven sandal
#

Ah, I thought the buff had to fall off first. Good to know.

fleet galleon
#

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

proven sandal
#

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

proud harbor

Does prot warr need a lot of external healing for +15-20 keys? I mained blood so I'm used to self healing damage

undone sun
#

depends if you use bracers or not

@proven sandal the leggos ring from Argus is good if you manage to get 3xttw/3xshadowbind relics

merry cave
#

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

deft sapphire
#

It includes the traits

#

And 7/7 would give 14%

#

Baseline block is 30%

merry cave
#

Thanks, I assumed so but figured I'd check

#

Right

deft sapphire
#

No worries. I wish it was another 14% on top 😂

merry cave
#

Yeah I had a moment of confusion but I think it was just inhore pain making it look like it was doing 100% lol

glacial sage
#

For foe breaker I use NF or SR?

undone sun
#

Nf

glacial sage
#

Gotta get that 100 mil block though, so save it for 2nd one

timid jay
#

I hope you mean SB 🤔

glacial sage
#

Why would you not use NF?

timid jay
#

NF or SB

#

Not NF or SR 😛

Spell reflect, I was asking if it was magical or physical

timid jay
#

Oh ok

#

Protip, check the blockable spreadsheet

glacial sage
#

I did, was still confuzzled

slim zenith
#

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

fleet galleon
#

Not yet. You can find more about the next expansion in the channel for it

slim zenith
#

ic, not gonna activate then, dont feel like spending time on a gamble since wo self-healing, its pointless to play

fleet galleon
#

I wouldn't rule it out yet. It's still very early in alpha

slim zenith
#

true, can just wait a month or two before expansion and rush the content this expansion i suppose

fleet galleon
#

Yep yep. Should be easily able to get everything you want done in terms of appearances/unlocks for this expansion.

glacial sage
#

Watching my Blood dk off tank die taking 2 stacks of foe breaker and dieing and then me not taking damage is very spicyu

formal abyss
#

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

warm plinth
#

Why is he taking 2 stacks of Foebreaker though?

formal abyss
#

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

warm plinth
#

20 ilevels is generally accepted as the "equip this" point for jewelry

formal abyss
#

👌

timid jay
#

30% haste is arbitrary, nothing happens at 30% haste

formal abyss
#

a few guides mention 25 and 30 as good points to have to fit in rotations

warm plinth
#

It's a very very old breakpoint that somehow still gets passed around

formal abyss
#

ah :c

timid jay
#

Its a year old

formal abyss
#

🤷 i didn't write the guides

warm plinth
#

Yes you did, you filthy guide writer

formal abyss
#

😭

timid jay
#

Its not mentioned in any guide thats worth to read

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

formal abyss
#

they're in the FAQ ones pretty sure

#

but good to know those values don't matter 😃

warm plinth
#

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.

timid jay
#
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

formal abyss
#

sorry it was bastion talking about t21, I'm just reading too much into the numbers 😃

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

fleet galleon
#

My tier cloak has avoidance and socket. But I has 960 cloak instead :/

cinder pasture
#

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 😄

fleet galleon
#

My relics mostly come from M+. Sadly only 1 has rolled Bastion

cinder pasture
#

Ive got 3 bastion, but all have pretty meh traits in second row

fleet galleon
#

Having 3 bastion is hard enough man. Now you want good T2 traits

cinder pasture
#

haha yep 😄

fleet galleon
#

I'm sure it'll come together

#

I've vendored so many Iron/Fire relics though since they rolled neither bastion nor Unrivaled Strength

cinder pasture
#

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

hallow phoenix

proud harbor
#

is prot warr a lot harder to manage than a prot pal or blood dk in 15-20 keys?

timid jay
#

Blood DK is certainly easier

warm plinth
#

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

timid jay
#

prot pal has the extra interrupts which can be helpful, but otherwise I'd say both prot specs are roughly similar

100% mastery works, but it's not optimal or actually decent for anything other than Argus

sick sentinel
#

No spellreflect tho ..

warm plinth
#

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

sick sentinel
#

Damn no freakin Ursol anymore, lul. too bad what they did there

warm plinth
#

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

sick sentinel
#

nah .. at this point it was just ironfur & frenzy outta control

#

they just did the "classfantasy" 😃

warm plinth
#

Yeah like...Adaptive Fur isn't terrible but it's just not enough in the situations where you actually even care about magic mitigation

Lol, indeed.

Good morning everyone! it is possible the hidden skin for prot. warri via serverhop to farm?

unborn island
#

So, 22 seat

#

How much do I lower it before finding a group?

#

20?

sick sentinel
#

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

unborn island
#

I honestly think you'd need to have ridiculous DPS to kill 3rd boss on 22

sick sentinel
#

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

unborn island
#

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

sick sentinel
#

yeah 3rd boss is just like arcway caster boss

#

until a point damage is nearly none but after that it hits alot

Hi, anyone who have done Argus mythic while using a guardian to solo tank at the 2nd chains in p3?

plush summit
#

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.

restive scroll
#

"Heroic"? Don't you want a mythic one?

plush summit
#

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.

restive scroll
#

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 🤔

junior ivy

warm plinth
#

Not if a ranged can do it

ember arrow
#

i always use it

#

or someone will fuck it up

warm plinth
#

I'm the same way, but I also get annoyed having to move the boss constantly to clear the shit on the ground

restive scroll
#

Same as Levko/ At some point your group will probably say to give it to your healer though

ember arrow
#

get kicked into shadow puddles

#

then ez

junior ivy
#

i did so bad in that votw 17 that i never wnana do m+ again

ember arrow
#

something something

#

clicking

#

something

junior ivy
#

wasnt casue of clicking

#

i dunno why i did so bad

#

i flew off the edge twice on last boss

warm plinth
#

Hey Lev

ember arrow
#

if only u had a timer

warm plinth
ember arrow
#

for kick

junior ivy
#

ocne i touched the wall guys

ember arrow
#

i like it

warm plinth
#

Wait, is your haste before bone shield or after?

ember arrow
#

16% be4

#

got 49% on war

#

🤔

warm plinth
#

I got rid of all my crit on my war 😃

#

Literally my only crit is from my artifact

ember arrow
#

oh yea

#

about that

#

WHY

#

IS

#

IT ON OUR ARTIFACT

warm plinth
#

Because Blizz, reasons, stuff

ember arrow
#

prob they thought if u crit wit NF

#

thats op

#

class fantasy

warm plinth
#

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

ember arrow
#

i use skyhold teleport system

warm plinth
#

I'm on my Dk atm

#

I'm gonna go check that MC thing

ember arrow
#

ait

main pike
#

i think almost all artifacts are crit mastery just because haste or vers would be more obvious

vale gyro
#

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

ember arrow
#

kited when he spawns purple stuff

#

not for u, but for dps

glacial sage
#

being at 80% haste when hero goes out is such a good feeling

warm plinth
#

Note to self: 10 stacks of soul blade hurts even on regular mythic

turbid horizon
#

what's a haste

warm plinth
#

Why do some people have a + next to their haste 🤔

turbid horizon
#

I'm enchanted and gemmed for mastery too

#

Because haste can be negative

ember arrow
#

training that mastery at the gym wadner

warm plinth
#

I mean...I don't have a + next to mine though lol

turbid horizon
#

I'm an arms main lol

#

leave me be 😦

proud harbor
#

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
#

its worth it, both other dps trinks are nerfed for tanks

#

only mem ento isnt

vale gyro
#

@ember arrow and how about fire dog, do you kite him in small circle for half of the map.>

#

?

warm plinth
ember arrow
#

fire dog was tanked stationary if i beleive i did

#

but that was soem time ago

warm plinth
#

Sorry, should have DMed that actually D:

ember arrow
#

the one that did the pools on the dps needs to be moved yes

vale gyro
#

ahh so fire

ember arrow
#

other one was tank and spanked

vale gyro
#

and purple can be kept statioanry

#

great

#

thx

ember arrow
#

o ok

#

well i confused the colors

vale gyro
#

yee thought so 😉 thx any other tips? I feel that on mythic there is less dmg

ember arrow
#

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

vale gyro
#

have you tried tank same dog without reducion?

ember arrow
#

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

deft sapphire
#

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

ember arrow
#

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

deft sapphire
#

Yeah it was

ember arrow
#

esp since they dont take the 100% dmg boost when u swap

deft sapphire
#

The worst part is the tank on shadow has the fire debuff and spawned the void zones

#

It was a bit of a shitshow

ember arrow
#

but yea, i pref to be as safe as possible, even on farm, esp if it doesnt affect dps or tanks much

vale gyro
#

ahh ok understood

#

thx guys!

ember arrow
#

👍

vital fulcrum
#

guys dumb question how do i critically block?

undone sun
#

RNG from mastery or by using the artifact ability

vital fulcrum
#

so every block while using my artifact ability will be 100% crit and proc my scales of earth ya?

undone sun
#

Scales of earth has a chance to trigger on crit blocks

vital fulcrum
#

alright ty

lean fern
#

does old war do more dmg then prolonged for prot?

undone sun
#

pretty sure old war beats prolonged on pure ST

junior ivy
#

wait really?

lean fern
#

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

junior ivy
#

oh cool

#

ill buy some

sturdy sable
#

Ditto

#

Gotta get that burst higher

warm plinth
#

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.

sick sentinel
#

What do you guys think about Best Serves Cold talent for Mythic Eonar?

#

Best Served Cold Talent

sturdy sable
#

Its a dish best served

sick sentinel
#

So it's good?

undone sun
#

unneeded, the trash packs that are 5+ usually die too fast for it to matter

sick sentinel
#

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

sturdy sable
#

Yeah as a tank I focus on slowing and stunning more so then dosing on that fight

sick sentinel
#

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 :/

warm plinth
#

Parses on Eonar are a joke anyway tbh

scenic dune
#

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

cinder pasture
scenic dune
#

oh fuck yeah

#

that's some big boy legs for sure

cinder pasture
#

Indeed they are !

sick sentinel
#

Those are really nice

cinder pasture
scenic dune
#

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

cinder pasture
#

True, and that's never gonna happen

ember arrow
#

hmm

#

i got 960 dinner bell

#

it wa surprisingly good

#

8k versatility

sick sentinel
#

kakushans still good ?

ember arrow
#

it was never bad

sick sentinel
#

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

ember arrow
#

think belt/glove is biggest dps overall

rocky brook
#

Got to 110 yesterday, got 4pc T21 from my first N run last night

ember arrow
#

sephuz cd is 30 sec

#

equipping it sets it on anither 30 sec cd

rocky brook
#

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

ember arrow
#

gz

sick sentinel
#

levko just tested it out

#

unequipping doesnt reset the CD

undone sun
#

only on uses triggers the cd when changing slots

sick sentinel
#

yeah so in M+ switching out from sephuz between packs is pretty lit

warm plinth
#

Hmm, good to know. Not entirely sure it's worth swapping that often for me though lol

glacial vale
#

What level keys are you doing this on?

jade socket
#

It should be up every pack maybe even twice in a pack unless the key is very low

ember arrow
#

yea idk

#

lasts 10 sec

#

30 sec cd

#

only 20 sec downtime

sick sentinel
#

yeah maybe not worth for prot ...

warm plinth
#

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.

sick sentinel
#

but when i arms switching legendarys inbetween packs is worth

warm plinth
#

Yeah perhaps.

sick sentinel
#

but for prot i think it might be minimal

warm plinth
#

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

sick sentinel
#

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

warm plinth
#

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.

sick sentinel
#

yeah true but if its a pack ur wanting to burst i think demo shout uptime would be enough

warm plinth
#

Could be. Seems highly situational to me. It's good info though for sure. Definitely not worth it from my perspective.

timid jay
#

if you kill it within 1 DS duration, then yeah prob gloves+sephuz

sick sentinel
#

like that pack right before the first boss in Vault on fortified RIP

timid jay
#

I'd rather go belt+sephuz though

#

So I still get the CDR for DS for the next pack

warm plinth
#

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

sick sentinel
#

the belt is really a nutty legendary

#

on any fight with adds your demo shout up time is OP

warm plinth
#

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

sick sentinel
#

i sometimes like to Meme with the arms helm and ravager

scenic dune
#

still get the now witness true power feeling

sick sentinel
#

the Burst with KJs trinket is a bit nuts

timid jay
#

monkaS

#

Ravager is still shit with the helm

#

Like complete utter garbage

scenic dune
#

ravager best talent

warm plinth
#

Staaahp

sick sentinel
#

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

ember arrow
#

no bosses require any

#

technically

glacial vale
#

Gloves and belt

scenic dune
#

gloves and belt my dude

sick sentinel
#

belt's good even with one target?

warm plinth
#

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

sick sentinel
#

alright, neat

#

^that usually happens :p

warm plinth
#

Should probably keep bracers equipped then 😂

sick sentinel
#

yeah i was playing around with swapping out belt for kakushans or ahr

#

just on bosses, ofc

warm plinth
#

AHR can be good DPS but I wouldn't use it unless I could pop a Last Stand buffed bubble tbh

sick sentinel
#

sephuz aint bad if u can proc it on CD single target

warm plinth
#

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

sick sentinel
#

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

warm plinth
#

On tyr keys you'd probably even get two uses of it

sick sentinel
#

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

glacial vale
#

The leggo pants are great for tyrannical oakheart

timid jay
#

Since we're having this discussion, the lastest code from SimC is fully supporting prot warriors from what I've seen (offensively)

sick sentinel
#

mind u thats keeping revenge on CD so healer might hate u

scenic dune
#

wait really

undone sun
#

not necessarily, SR should be up for every grip without legs

timid jay
#

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

scenic dune
#

and on a higher tyr keys you should be getting 2 or 3 grips depending on your DPS

fleet galleon
#

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?

scenic dune
#

AHR is pretty spicy for single target damage if you can ensure that the shield will be fully soaked

timid jay
#

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

fleet galleon
#

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

timid jay
#

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

fleet galleon
#

Hopefully the pin will have instructions for scrubs like me too haha

warm plinth
#

Wait, RFDT isn't a thing anymore in BfA?

undone sun
#

afaik it's based on melees instead of all damage
