#

Ring sims higher for me than belt. Am I missing something here?

warm plinth
#

Well if you didn't put in your own APL, it's still a useless sim unless I'm misunderstanding something

timid jay
#

@royal cobalt Did you download the latest nightly build or compile the code yourself?

royal cobalt
#

Nope

#

I generally use the belt I'm just curious why the ring sims higher

timid jay
#

What are you simming with?

#

What SimC build?

#

Because if you didnt download it directly from the github and compile it yourself the belt isnt implemented

royal cobalt
#

oh i see

#

interesting

timid jay
#

If you dont want to compile it yourself, you can download the latest nightly build and use the following overrides:

override.spell_data=effect.275827.base_value=50
override.spell_data=effect.210836.base_value=10

Still wont have TWF or TGV implemented though

warm plinth
#

How accurate is this going to be for simming purposes without an APL?

royal cobalt
#

alrighty ty

timid jay
#

Without a APL

#

Literally useless

warm plinth
#

Okay that's what I thought

timid jay
#

Not that hard to make a decent APL for us though, prot warriors dps rotation isnt that complicated

warm plinth
#

No but I'm not simc literate at all so I'll wait until someone smarter than me creates ones

#

one*

timid jay
#

Probably the recommended option

scenic dune
#

I was under the impression that the entire prot rotation was a priority thing

warm plinth
#

Is Melekus working on an APL or is his work finished with the SimC implementations and now we're waiting for someone like Akmandor to do it?

fleet galleon
#

Who is writing it? I want to buy them a virtual cake for their hard work

timid jay
#

Melekus fixed the implementation

warm plinth
#

Melekus did the SimC implementations I believe

scenic dune
#

as apposed to a set order some abilities should be cast in

timid jay
#

APL is up to the TC's

undone sun
#

^, melekus did the backend of SimC while we're doing the APL part of it

warm plinth
#

Super grateful for Melekus's hard work. Don't want to rudely ping but hopefully he knows how much we all appreciate the work he put in for us.

scenic dune
#

im sure he'd appreciate it

timid jay
#

Could link a basic ST APL if you want to

#

Been tinkering a bit with one, probably going to be further improvements to the APL once one is released

warm plinth
#

Is that where our focus would be probably, in creating the APLs? Primarily single target? Or will there likely be a multi-target one as well?

timid jay
#

Guessing there will be a ST APL at least

#

I might make one for AoE for fun mostly

royal cobalt
#

Should I take simc's pawn string for dps as prot with a grain of salt?

timid jay
#

Yes

#

Definitely

#

Always take a pawn string with a grain of salt

#

Best is just resimming all gear, even that should be taken with a grain of salt

royal cobalt
#

Explains the huge margin of error

#

yeah

timid jay
#

If you have a huge margin of error do a target_error= sim

royal cobalt
#

type that into import?

timid jay
#

Be prepared for a very long simtime if you want extremely accurate numbers

#

But yeah, add target_error=0.05 into the simc file

royal cobalt
#

ok ty

timid jay
#

The lower you go the more accurate and longer sim time obviously

royal cobalt
#

yeah

#

ive def reached a ceiling

#

trying to get higher

timid jay
#

what APL are you using?

royal cobalt
#

until now i used raidbots weekly build

#

seems okay but apparently inconsistent for prot

timid jay
#

Idk if the weekly build has any of the fixes

#

Nightly build has some at least

#

and the APL for that isnt really any good iirc

royal cobalt
#

right

#

what are your thought's on amr?

#

ive heard mixed opinions

timid jay
#

Uhm yeah, I'd never ever recommend AMR to anyone

timid jay
#

Guess their wiki for formulas is good, but thats about it

sick sentinel
#

that was the 3rd scythe

timid jay
#

Mythic?

royal cobalt
#

haha

sick sentinel
#

y

#

Can u explain me that?

timid jay
#

Nothing strange about it

#

84(1-0.44)*0.5=23.52

#

Roughly 23.5M damage if you did a normal block and 50% DR from armor

#

Ofc without versa and avoidance

#

(provided you have 7/7 in bastion)

#

Fucked the math ๐Ÿ‘€

sick sentinel
#

xD

#

i have 4 n bastion

#

in

warm plinth
#

So then same formula but replace .44 with .38 I think (I'm so not a math person)

timid jay
#

Yeah

#

Obviously have to add in correct armor, DR from versa and avoidance

warm plinth
#

Ain't nobody got time fo' dat

timid jay
#

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pv6xnZQKFwzAUzPvKmXtGje8zMLQasQK9dpA0YgONd4/edit#gid=1731903220
Theres a spreadsheet for it made by faide, might be some errors in it but for the normal scythe damage it should be fine

sick sentinel
#

i think i can use this

#

:3

#

#

#

timid jay
#

If you're on mythic argus you should really try to get 7/7 in bastion

warm plinth
#

Tfw the only good relic I've gotten lately was a 970 on my guardian that has Thrash in T3. Think my war's weapon is like 954 :/

timid lagoon
#

i just came back from taking a break from wow and it seems that we still have to use the t20 set ;/

#

i am so sad right now

undone sun
#

don't have to

timid lagoon
#

is it a big difference?

undone sun
#

defensively it can be pretty useful on some fights, but not a requirement by anymeans

timid lagoon
#

hmmm

scenic dune
#

defensively its good, for straight domage, you'd use 2pc t21

timid lagoon
#

and if i wanted to go do tos

#

what is the ilvl difference that i should be looking at

#

from being worth or not worth to equip t20

timid jay
#

Tbh, I see no reason to go back and farm t20

#

Sure, if you get sick TF's on t20 it'll be worth it but might as well just aim for t21 4p since that more than covers our survivability needs

timid lagoon
#

ok thanks guys

scenic dune
#

t21 4pc isnt as bad as we initially thought it would be

timid jay
#

Mostly because it was changed once antorus released

scenic dune
#

wasn't that the whole current IP changed to next IP?

warm plinth
#

Your new pic is ๐Ÿ‘Œ Marky

scenic dune
#

my friends put captions on it

warm plinth
#

As they should

timid jay
#

It was changed to include a buff to your next IP

#

Buffs your current IP if you have one up, if you dont your next IP is buffed

scenic dune
#

ah sweet

timid jay
#

on PTR it was only if you had one up

scenic dune
#

ye that's what I remember

#

I just use 2pc

#

because domage

compact geyser
#

I definitely feel way stronger using the higher ilvl t21. It's actually pretty dope ๐Ÿค˜

scenic dune
#

yeah if I feel myself riding the danger zone often, I'll end up swapping to t21 4pc, but with proper play (in heroic) I can just mongo my way through

sick sentinel
#

Hey guys do we have a guide on how to analyse logs for tanks? I stated tanking HC and got 4 bosses in but some of them just one-shot me a few times and keen to understand why

#

Started*

warm plinth
#

We have people to analyze logs. Chances are you're not using Shield Block for something you should be using Shield Block for though

#

What to use SB on is not always obvious

sick sentinel
#

Also my Co-tank is a DH thats 20ilvl above me, he keeps pulling aggro of me and keen to see that as well

#

Im not sure how to link my logs....๐Ÿคจ

warm plinth
#

Yeah, if you have logs, feel free to link them here. No way should any tank be peeling off of us, even if you don't have T21

#

Just go to your logs and paste the address here

sick sentinel
#

Yeah sure Im making massive mistakes

#

The guild logs?

warm plinth
#

Yeah, unless they're private, we should be able to see them

sick sentinel
#

Does that work?

#

My char name is Keepzup

warm plinth
#

Yep

#

So first thing I see is really poor Shield Block uptime

#

You have 23.38% uptime which is like...less than half what it should be. And your % of blocked hits is around that number too

#

They didn't do advanced logging so I can't see: what tier/legendaries? AHR is apparent but nothing else

#

On dogs, which I'm assuming is one of the ones you were randomly getting 1-shot on, your Shield Block is the culprit again. You need to have Shield Block or Neltharion's Fury active for every single Maw; you only blocked 25% of them (I bet your healers loved that :x)

#

You also have Vengeance talented, which means you should have equal numbers of casts of Revenge and Ignore Pain. You have tons more IP casts than Revenge which means you're not even getting anything out of that talent more than half the time.

junior ivy
#

iis shard of rokmora ever good?

warm plinth
#

Not unless it's way higher than any other trinket you have; then it might be better by the strength alone, for DPS

sick sentinel
#

I feel like I do not have enough rage for both SB and IP

warm plinth
#

SB costs minimal rage. And you would have way more rage available if you weren't wasting the Vengeance talent

sick sentinel
#

True thanks mate something I need to look into

warm plinth
#

Can you fill me in on your talents/tier/legendaries? I can't see due to no advanced logging

sick sentinel
#

O have the standard talent build with anger management. I have bad leggos at the moment. I have the ring that gives me additional talent and the 30% absorb trinket.

#

I have 2 Tier 21 pc

#

Res is M+ gear

undone sun
#

looks like you still have vengeance though, with t21 switch to booming voice

sick sentinel
#

I have veng and booming due to the leggo ring

warm plinth
#

He has the talent ring so he's getting vengeance from that

undone sun
#

ah

warm plinth
#

You have no other alternatives to those?

#

I mean, AHR really isn't terrible for DPS if you can pop it consistently. But the ring is definitely not one you want to use if you have the option once you get T21

sick sentinel
#

No Im still farming leggos

warm plinth
#

Alright

scenic dune
#

firstly, did we die? fairly obvious.
second, did we cap rage? we lose alot of DPS and EHP/HPS when we cap rage
what's our blocked melee hits percentage? the higher the better, not to be confused with shield block uptime.
if taken (it should be in all cases right now), what's our renewed fury uptime? we should be getting around 80% on most fights.
If vengeance is taken, (with T21 we dont take this), how many times did we cast revenge and IP, we're aiming for the same amount.
Are we SS'ing on cooldown?
with t21 and AM(should always have AM) are we using BC on cd, and are we dumping rage whilst it is?
are our TC stacks falling off?
are taunt swaps clean?
are we using the correct mitigation for the ability? Nelths for big blockable, SR for big magic, DS for small magic, LS or SW for big unblockable.

warm plinth
#

I can't see your rage (again, due to no advanced logging; they should really fix that), but you're also overcapping rage a ton

#

Which you can see by looking at your rage and going to the events tab. Anywhere you see an (O:#) after an event, it means you wasted rage

junior ivy
#

k help

#

i got an iron relic

#

955

#

no bastion

#

current iron relic

#

950

#

bastion

#

help.

warm plinth
#

Don't replace it

scenic dune
#

keep bastion

junior ivy
#

omgggggggggggggggg

#

but i love ilvl

scenic dune
#

not right now you don't

warm plinth
#

It's literally like 1 ilevel on your weapon

#

It won't even make a difference

junior ivy
#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ :() ๐Ÿ˜ฆ ๐Ÿ˜ฆ ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

ok :"(

warm plinth
#

@sick sentinel I think your two primary focuses should be using Shield Block more (specifically on hard hitting abilities like Burning/Corrupting Maw on dogs and the 2nd Expose Weakness on AHC, but your general uptime needs to go way up as well), and making sure you don't overcap rage. That's going to make a big difference. Replace that legendary ring ASAP too. Also, either start logging yourself with Advanced Combat Logging enabled, or tell whoever is logging to enable it

scenic dune
#

I have a 960 relic doing sweet nothing in my bags right now because my 930 has bastion

#

if you want to compare, check this old log of mine out, no t21 and using vengeance

warm plinth
#

115 Revenge, 113 IP. What a fail warrior ๐Ÿ™ƒ

#

๐Ÿ”ซ

rocky brook
#

Is there a CrucibleWeight string for Prot?

scenic dune
#

no weight string

#

but we do have priority list

warm plinth
#

No there's not; we only recently got "working" sims for DPS so it may happen in the future but can't say for usre.

#

sure*

rocky brook
#

Alright, thanks

timid jay
#

Even if we got a crucibleweight string, it would only be fof offense and you might aswell sim it yoirself then

scenic dune
#

imo it's pretty straight forward what we can get out of our relics

sick sentinel
#

@scenic dune @warm plinth thanks for all the tips and stuff I do wrong. I felt like suck a fail in that raid. Ill get WA to help me track those two things SB en Veng/IP. Ill have a look at those logs today thanks.

scenic dune
#

if you want to have a giggle, check out my NH parses

warm plinth
#

For Garothi you can just cast Shield Block as much as possible while tanking the boss

#

There's nothing specific you need to block

scenic dune
#

then I got blasted first week of ToS and came here

sick sentinel
#

I need 25% haste for 100% SB uptime right?

warm plinth
#

No

undone sun
#

no

scenic dune
#

cant do it

warm plinth
#

It's 117% for Anger Management

#

Which is impossible

scenic dune
#

you can have 100% effective uptime

warm plinth
#

You just need SB up as much as possible while tanking, but especially for certain abilities that can be blocked, such as Burning Maw

#

IIRC you can actually have 100% uptime while tanking on High Command

scenic dune
#

whereas you block 100% of blockable attacks that you receive

#

?!

warm plinth
#

You only have the boss for like 20 seconds at a time

sturdy sable
#

If your co tank is paying attention

scenic dune
#

oh, 100% effective uptime

warm plinth
#

Yeah, effective. Just while tanking the boss

scenic dune
#

not literally 100% uptime throughout the entire fight

warm plinth
#

Right

#

Not every boss has that short of a tanking uptime though. Like Portal Keeper I imagine you won't always have 100%, but I don't think it's really her melees that are dangerous anyway; it's the Rift DoT

scenic dune
#

yup

#

you don't exactly notice that SB isn't active until you get hit by something that's big and blockable

#

"lookin' at you, maw"

#

otherwise I just make sure that I have SB up for BC lul

warm plinth
#

I've been kinda jonesing to get my feet wet in at least normal ATB lately, but it just seems like potentially wasted time. I like killing bosses but my primary goal is loot so it's a bummer to spend a few hours killing things and not even get anything

scenic dune
#

sounds like I should join you when im not working

#

mongo through some bosses

#

wait

#

you're US, right?

warm plinth
#

lol, normal has to be pretty easy

#

Yeah

scenic dune
#

aight cool

warm plinth
#

I play weird hours though; I work nights

scenic dune
#

im in New Zealand so that works in my favor

warm plinth
#

You play on US servers from there? How's your ping?

scenic dune
#

yup, 150ms

warm plinth
#

Oh, 150 isn't too bad

scenic dune
#

I don't notice it

warm plinth
#

I'd even play a caster on 150

#

275-300 is where I hit my breaking point. I was around 220ms when I played on EU and by like a month in, I didn't even notice it.

fleet galleon
#

Meanwhile in group with someone from Barthilas, 3k ping

scenic dune
#

yeah there's 150MS with good internet, and then there's getting 150MS on a server that would normally give you 20ms

warm plinth
#

I've never gotten that bad of ping. But I can't heal in OCE groups. I usually get up to around 310-315 in those and it feels like shit

scenic dune
#

ahahahaa

sick sentinel
#

@scenic dune Im NZ as well!

warm plinth
#

Tanking idc though; I'm mashing buttons anyway

scenic dune
#

asuh dude

#

the only places where my ping has been a detriment is fast things like the guitar hero phase on maiden

#

and like getting out of storm in coven

warm plinth
#

I wish I had Guitar Hero ๐Ÿค”

scenic dune
#

yeah you learn to be real quick to react on higher pings, or so I've found

merry cave
#

Did a 23 Kara upper last night, that mana worm sucks lol. We stomped curator and medivh then spent 25 mins on the stupid worm -_-

warm plinth
#

Yeah for high tyr, immunities are basically mandatory since the stacks tick so hard

worn vine
#

what leggos are you guys running for mythic vari if you are escorting?

undone sun
#

offensive ones

worn vine
#

our warrior only has bracers as far as prot leggos go he has all of the arms ones

#

what would you suggest from that pool

timid jay
#

Sephuz and prydaz

#

For the stats

#

maybe kjbw ๐Ÿค”

lone folio
#

how much haste should I be aiming to tank Antorus hc?

#

sitting at 26% right now

timid jay
#

As much as ypu can get, the more the merrier

#

With the usual caviat of not dropping ilvl for it since raw amount of stats still matter more

lone folio
#

what about trading my 4-piece bonus for 5% extra haste?

timid jay
#

4pc is definitely stronger defensively

lone folio
#

got it

#

thx for the help

timid jay
#

npnp

worn vine
#

ty for the help with the legendary suggestions btw

celest portal
#

I'm an ex mythic arms war who left during tomb, just came back now and thinking of just casually tanking mythic 10-15+ each week till bfa how does prot warrior stack up for that? I've got t20 and im running manny bracers as well as soul of the battle lord atm.

warm plinth
#

What item level are you?

undone sun
#

any tank is more than viable for 15s, keystones are more about the player until you get to mid-to-high 20s

celest portal
#

im 944, using immortality and Khaz'goroths as my trinkets since I didnt have any tank trinkets

warm plinth
#

15s should be easily doable. Read up in the pins to make sure you're up to date on what talents to use and stuff. I would strongly suggest getting a hold of 2pc T21 as soon as possible and ditching the soul ring when you can.

celest portal
#

Hmm, any tank legos I should be going for?

#

I know kakushans is popular

undone sun
#

Gloves/Bracers/Belt are the top three (not in that order)

timid jay
#

belt is by far the best in aoe scenarios

celest portal
#

ohh yeah

#

in m+ belt would be baller

#

what about the walls fell for survivability?

undone sun
#

it's fine, more useable with t21 and the second best option with the tier combo but doesn't beat any of the three mentioned above

celest portal
#

Alright, so prioritise getting 2 piece t21

#

and pray for belt

warm plinth
#

Easy to get legendaries now if you do content. With essences you can get a guaranteed legendary every 1-2 weeks (depending on how much content you do)

#

And that's not counting your regular drops

celest portal
#

Im just going to be doing weekly normal and see how far I can pug heroic. I play ffxiv more seriously and just wanted to play wow in my ffxiv downtime

#

aside from m+ and dailies of course

sick sentinel
#

Farming for leggo myself at the moment, if you clear Antorus and do the daily quests and the daily HC with daily PVP you can get a leggo a week and sometimes two a week

#

@undone sun Whats the highest M+ you have done?

undone sun
#

uh i think a 21, idk i don't really push that much

royal cobalt
#

Is there a dps trinket spreadsheet for prot?

undone sun
#

no

#

#NoWorkingSims

timid jay
#

#Soon

royal cobalt
#

oh alright

rotund token
#

So, Ive been thinking about switching from maining boomkin to Prot warrior. I have however, noticed a large influx of tanks in the game. Is it worth it to go tank?

undone sun
#

if it suits your interests/needs, sure

merry cave
#

Do you have more fun boomy or prot

#

Play whatever the answer is

junior ivy
#

will a +19 cos, no timer, beat a +15 1 chest timer

#

for m+ score?

warm plinth
#

Yeah

junior ivy
#

cool

warm plinth
#

Almost definitely, though I guess if it took you like 4 hours it might not

round vortex
#

I think the answer @rotund token needs is HELL YEAH MAKE THE SWITCH!!! Prot warrior 4 lyfe!

junior ivy
#

we were l;ike 5 mins past timer

#

6 maybe

warm plinth
#

Then yeah, it'll easily beat the +15

junior ivy
#

yay

warm plinth
#

Level means more than any other metric used to calculate score. Chests hardly matter, though I believe there is a small bonus for doing it in time vs out of time.

#

An in time 19 would be 209 I believe, so you're looking at probably low-mid 190s for doing it out of the timer (estimating). A +15 is only like 151.5

#

Assuming right on time

junior ivy
#

i killed mythic helya tonight ๐Ÿ˜„

warm plinth
#

Sorry, 19 in time is 236, not 209. I'm a failure

junior ivy
#

ughh we almost made timer

#

then healer died on alst boss

#

last

warm plinth
#

Here ya go. This is the base scores for each level of M+ if you did it exactly in time.

winged marsh
#

673 score for 30s

#

ez

warm plinth
#

lol

sick sentinel
#

@warm plinth Do you use WA?

warm plinth
#

Not really. I have one for Prolonged Power potions to remind me to use them but other than that, not on my warrior.

royal cobalt
#

weak auras comes in handy for me on a lot of stuff

#

antorus, sephuz, dot reminder on guardian druid, mage tower

warm plinth
#

I use some on my mistweaver...if I was a good prot warrior I'd probably use a Scales tracker

#

But idgaf

royal cobalt
#

haha

#

i try to keep as minimal of a ui as possible

#

sometimes ill delete some strings

final mist
#

There are a few WA that are really good that are listed in the guide.

#

The ones Macro and Hamsda created for all the tanks are pretty comprehensive and show you pretty much everything you need, buff-wise

warm plinth
#

^ There are a few suites I've tried that are pretty solid; I just don't feel like I need quite that much information.

junior ivy
#

i used to be 2223

#

๐Ÿ˜„

winged marsh
#

๐Ÿ˜›

junior ivy
#

i feel like its impossible to make boig progress though

#

with m+ score

#

do i gotta do eveyr dungeon on a +18?

winged marsh
#

i believe every dungeon at 19 is 3k

junior ivy
#

how am i only 2262?

warm plinth
#

Yeah every dungeon at 19 is 3065 if you do it exactly on time

#

Well out of time is definitely a substantial loss. That 19 would be 236 if it were in time instead of 201.2 out of time

#

The 18 would be 214 instead of 184

junior ivy
#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

but its hard to beat timer

warm plinth
#

Then you have several 15s to replace yet

#

It's meant to be hard. What would be the point if it were easy?

junior ivy
#

its toooo hard lol

winged marsh
#

thats the fun on M+

warm plinth
#

Doing past +15 is literally just for the sake of challenge (and I guess possible extra drops)

winged marsh
#

constantly pushing your limit

junior ivy
#

one of the dps in my cos 19 siad i was bad tongiht ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

winged marsh
#

people get mad over stupid shit

#

dont worry about it

warm plinth
#

I get told I'm bad weekly ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

winged marsh
#

yep

warm plinth
#

If you think they're right, get better. If you don't, fuck them

winged marsh
#

and you cant be expected to play perfectly all the time anyways

junior ivy
winged marsh
#

i've definitely fucked up lots of keys with my group

junior ivy
#

hes probably right

warm plinth
#

What walls? ๐Ÿค”

winged marsh
#

vault?

#

my guess

#

wait he said court

#

what walls

warm plinth
#

Yeah she said court

#

The only ring I can think of is maybe the center area of the first boss

#

So maybe they mean the streetsweeper

winged marsh
#

๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ

junior ivy
#

it was cos

#

not vault

#

dunon what walls he meant either

winged marsh
#

no idea what walls hes talkin about lol

junior ivy
#

it was last boss

#

we did fine 1st and 2nd boss, one shots, smooth

winged marsh
#

wall of clones? idk lol

junior ivy
#

we wiped once on last boss which caused us to miss timer

warm plinth
#

Yeah idk what ring he's talking about, or walls

#

CoS is a tight timer anyway

winged marsh
#

we've changed our lust timings to make the timer way easier

warm plinth
#

Maybe he means the piercing gale lines?

restive scroll
#

@junior ivy You can check out "the thorough tank " channel on youtube, to get some more knowledge

warm plinth
#

If healer was standing in mid, he'd be baiting blade surges there which means more criss-cross of lines for the gales

winged marsh
#

lust the docks pull, lust thhe second miniboss with a pack of 3, lust last boss

junior ivy
#

hogo is that the australian guy?

i watched his video for seat. i should check out his others

Quite frankly he discribes some pulls as "easy" when i wouldn't do them, and the other way around, it's missing a lot of details i think become important after a while, but it's pretty nice

#

Yeah, seat is actually terrible for warrior

winged marsh
#

seat is terrible*

junior ivy
#

i gotta get a seat done but im scared

#

am i better off tomorrow or tuesday?

#

i just wanna do 15 or 16

warm plinth
#

I'd rather do Seat this week than next

winged marsh
#

next week is gonna suck for it too

restive scroll
#

The day I understood i could reflect most of the mobs, was the day i understood it was doable for a warrior

winged marsh
#

this week definitely easier

restive scroll
#

I meant the video is terrible ^^

winged marsh
#

fair

#

dungeon still sucks tho

restive scroll
#

I mean, if you don't reflect the blops on +20 fortified, you're gonna die, that's all

warm plinth
#

Yeah he doesn't mention much in the way of class specific stuff that often, if ever. But still decent beginner guides to the dungeons.

restive scroll
#

You need to know that if you want to be able to survive

junior ivy
#

yeah i ddint know that

warm plinth
#

The Famished Broken in the trash around the first boss cast Dark Withering which is a stacking 10% damage taken debuff. You can reflect it as a warrior.

restive scroll
#

The guy plays DH, he doesn't know trhose kind of things

#

(monk/pal too i think, anyway)

warm plinth
#

He just silences/kites them as a DH so he doesn't have to worry about it :p

restive scroll
#

exactly

#

When i have some time, i'll try to hit up Thyme so we can update his spreadshit for reflect on trashs, that's pretty important too

#

(like the ghost on UK/LK start)

warm plinth
#

Meh. I've started using SR for those, but I still get pissed off that healers don't dispel the DoT

#

I wonder if it doesn't show by default or something

restive scroll
#

that's why i reflect them

warm plinth
#

It's annoying to do a higher fortified key and I'm getting trucked by it when they could just dispel it

restive scroll
#

And that's a pretty nice input of dommage

warm plinth
#

I really want the pants soon so I can giggle at Upper Kara

restive scroll
#

Yeah, it's not the same instance with them to be honest

warm plinth
#

I still need bracers too though

#

And still have a few bad ones I could get :/

restive scroll
#

got them last week, it was insane

#

yeah, that's the problem

warm plinth
#

I don't have chest or prydaz yet

#

I think I'm left with two good ones and 3 bad actually

restive scroll
#

I wonder if we could use the chest on some trashs to save another person

warm plinth
#

Could get legs or bracers, but then I could get chest, prydaz, or...blanking on the last one tbh lol

restive scroll
#

bracer aren't as important as they seems

warm plinth
#

I mean, the effect is there I guess. But chances are you would've saved them just with Safeguard anyway, so the absorb would be next to meaningless

restive scroll
#

I mean, depending on if the healer realise he doesn't need to help you that much

#

Safeguard absorb only aa, right?

undone sun
#

no

warm plinth
#

Safeguard absorbs anything

restive scroll
#

*-*

#

I've been so wrong all that time

#

Good to know

warm plinth
#

There are some things you can't reliably use it on but yeah you can do dumb shit with it

#

Like Nightmare Bolt you'd have to have pretty killer reflexes for it to work, since you have to intercept prior to the cast starting

restive scroll
#

(And i was thinking of stuff like the lantern spell in VoTW, especially on raging)

#

that's not called reflexes but premonition :')

warm plinth
#

Lantern spell? Oh, you mean the miniboss?

restive scroll
#

yeup, before second elevator

#

For example, i'm pretty sure there's other things

#

even last cos boss

warm plinth
#

Imprison really is no big deal if people do the mechanic right. You can group soak it or use root removals to get out of it

undone sun
#

druid typooh and dk grip can interrupt the cast of the cage as well

warm plinth
#

Ah good to know. Actually wasn't aware of that.

undone sun
#

might be more, i don't really know, like tbh i didn't know root can

warm plinth
#

Now I feel like a dick for not gripping it on my DK D:

undone sun
#

lol

warm plinth
#

There are a lot of little tricks you wouldn't think of that just aren't common knowledge; I learn new ones every week it seems like

undone sun
#

yeh

warm plinth
#

I just learned the other day that you can disorient Glaivyanna to delay her Meta

restive scroll
#

I know, but i do most on my mm+ in pugs, so you know, you often have to compensate when you can

ionic fern
#

I mostly pug as well. :d

restive scroll
#

@warm plinth You're talking about first miniboss on votw right?

ionic fern
#

Yes he is.

warm plinth
#

Yeah, first miniboss

restive scroll
#

Very nice to know, she hits really hard on high keys

ionic fern
#

Imo it's a lot better to start off with pugs since then you learn how derp people can be so you know what to expect and preemptively do something about it next time around.

warm plinth
#

Note the delay part. She will try to recast it like 6-10 seconds later. The cast time is also rather quick so you have to make sure you're not mid-global to actually get it off. Knockbacks don't work either; has to be a disorient.

ionic fern
#

And later if you find a decent group it's like "OH SHIT. PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY BE GOOD"

warm plinth
#

But still, on high keys, 6-10 seconds of no meta is amazing

restive scroll
#

@ionic fern Of course, it's also nice to learn some new things

tawny crown
#

can pally still repent her @ 30% to mitigate meta cast?

restive scroll
#

@warm plinth In 21 last night, on raging, she did 10M ~ by aa

#

So 6-10 sec, is freaking amazing :')

warm plinth
#

Probably but that'd be nearly impossible to time well. And it's actually somewhere between 50 and 60% that she casts it initially.

#

Rather use Blinding Light for the insta-disorient

ionic fern
#

^

warm plinth
#

Her cast time is less than a global for my guardian. I had to basically wait out the cast once she hit 60% so I could actually interrupt it

restive scroll
#

How about 2nd boss azshara for the chest?

ionic fern
#

Or be a man and tank it.

warm plinth
#

Lol

ionic fern
#

Just use defensives below 50%

#

and you are gucci.

restive scroll
#

I mean, i my charges to clean the tornadoes so far, but it could help someone survive

warm plinth
#

Yeah not like we really need them for anything else soon after.

restive scroll
#

Without the torso :p

warm plinth
#

Again, Safeguard will help even without the chest

ionic fern
#

Why would you clear the tornadoes?

restive scroll
#

even for that? that's nice

#

More space

#

they remove some sand mote

ionic fern
#

๐Ÿค”

#

How high are you doing?

restive scroll
#

On high tyranical, sometimes you don't have enough, especially if dps stand on them and remove them aswell

ionic fern
#

I've only done EOA on +21 but we've never had any space problems.

restive scroll
#

run inside, and charge/leap out

#

Depend on the pops, level of the key, dps of the group, and people removing them aswell

#

Btw, i got a tornado pop ON a mot, just before her cast once

#

And they go close to people, so you also prevent them to get bump

ionic fern
#

๐Ÿคท well guess i haven't done it high enough yet then.

#

๐Ÿ˜„

restive scroll
#

Or to have to move too much

#

Or, you didn't had parties like mine :D

warm plinth

Idk I'd rather use my intercepts with CDs to help squishy DPS but it depends on group comp

I usually don't take derps into 20+ keys yep.

At least as prot

And idk what I can learn from there beyond get 3 thrash relics, which I know already. There's not much you can learn as a Guardian.

you can learn what to use mark of ursol on!

I've started doing shit like weeklies and dailly heroics on mine again but idk that I'll really do anything relevant until the expansion to see how they are.

smoky garnet

I donโ€™t melt

Doesn't help you in DHT 2nd boss for exemple

warm plinth
#

Yeah my DK is actually my highest ilevel toon

#

Eh, I mean you have Frenzied Regen for that so I don't think that's bad

#

It's more trash packs than anything else for me

#

Shade sucks as a guardian though

restive scroll
#

Yeah, but if you don't get hit hard, FR doesn't do much

warm plinth
#

Have to waste interrupts on it because you have nothing to avoid the debuff with

#

Yeah, I have a WA that tells me how much my FR will heal me for

restive scroll
#

And it usually sucks

warm plinth
#

So for things like Grip, you just eat a few ticks, then pop it

#

Honestly most of being a good guardian is knowing when to press FR and when not to press FR

restive scroll
#

And i get bored on my BDK, although i didn't gear him much

warm plinth
#

Especially coming from virtually any other tank besides monk, you have to get used to actually needing to be healed

#

But that's part of the design; their mastery increases healing done to them

smoky garnet
#

Besides monk?

warm plinth
#

Yeah, monks also need healing

smoky garnet

Lol

I read that wrong

Sorry

RIP

ionic fern
#

I feel so bad when ever i play my warrior due to how i am dependant on healers. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

The fact that i don't have bracers doesn't help tho

#

.:D

smoky garnet
#

The thing I learned recently

warm plinth
#

Guess that depends on content and shit but I don't really feel that dependent on my healer in M+ on my warrior

restive scroll
#

Most healer heal you regardless anyway, so... you're not missing out on much

smoky garnet
#

Is that the best healing sniper is the god dam panth trinket

warm plinth
#

I mean, I definitely need healing compared to my DK or my DH, but it's nothing compared to my druid

restive scroll
#

Some healer forget to heal you at all on the other hand, when you have wrists

deft sapphire
#

warriors only dont need healing with wrists when the incoming damage is fairly trivilal

ionic fern
#

Ofc healers heal you regardless but i just don't have the "Oh shit, i'm low , lemme smash hotp" for example.

restive scroll
#

Meh, you can go pretty high on spikes

#

I can go around 1M5 hps on some packs

ionic fern
#

What content are we talking about tho?

#

I'm talking 20+ keys mostly.

warm plinth
#

Just depends on the damage intake. If it's bursts followed by nothing, you can self-maintain pretty well if you time BC and shit (take Travex's video he shared recently for example)

tight tree
#

Hey. Quick question. Is 4p t20+2p t21 still worth it if t20 is low ilevel (910-915)? For survivability. Mythic Antorus. Compared to full ilevel 4p t21 setup i am losing 10 ilevels (from 960 to 950). I looked @ Guide in pins, and it says it is still better for survival, but that much loss of ilevel concern me. Sorry if stupid.

warm plinth
#

I would just stick with 4pc T21 personally

sick sentinel
#

sup crusher? still workin ?

warm plinth
#

Nope. I'm at home atm

frigid talon
#

Ive been tanking alot more for my guild lately, running 2p r21 with haste offpieces, you think i should go for 4pc instead? skyhold

#

Mostly mythic tier pieces

#

Stopped using the t20 4pc t21 2pc setup a while ago since i never remember to pop BR

warm plinth
#

How much ilevel do you use to gain the 4pc?

#

do you lose**

frigid talon
#

I dont think i lose almost any

#

Id guess around 1-2 overall

warm plinth
#

No harm in using it if you think you need the extra survivability then. If not, stick with what you're using.

frigid talon
#

the biggest hit would be on the legs, going from 970 to 945 if i remember right

#

ive kind of been testing stuff out on the farm bosses

restive scroll
#

yeup

#

On some pugs it's required by leader, on others healers are like "don't, i can handle it" and fail

warm plinth
#

There's no real reason to do the bug...

#

She still gets fully empowered arc/expel

#

And those are the dangerous part of the fight

old zephyr
#

Hey guys I just looted destniy drivers, how bad is it (i'm currently using The walls fell and quest ring, with prydaz a,d soul in my bags)? equiping DD would make me lose t214P

warm plinth
#

It's the only legendary in the game that is 100% useless as anything but a stat stick

restive scroll
#

It's dangerous oneshot wise, but healing eye of the vortex in high tyranical keys is very tough

#

And you're sure she does arc/expel on the oposite side?

warm plinth
#

I haven't done it myself but have been told by several people that the only purpose the bug serves is to reduce the damage of the storm

#

Which isn't the hard part of the fight

ionic fern
#

It actually is.

#

On higher tyrannical keys

#

ANything helps in reducing damage.

restive scroll
#

174 M on 5 people, for one storm

warm plinth
#

You can see in the video she still does the proper ability for her empowerment state

restive scroll
#

so 34.8 M/ char in 21 tyra

#

in about what 10 sec?

#

3.4 M /s

warm plinth
#

Idk, I'll let Travex share his opinion on the matter since he actually has experience at that level. The deaths I see on high keys aren't from the storm though; they're from expel mostly

ionic fern
#

The deaths come from ->Storm->people low from storm->Insta arch/expel.

restive scroll
#

What are you considering being high keys?

warm plinth
#

Over 20

restive scroll
#

Alright, on the same page on that, and yet we disagree

ionic fern
#

Fact is a DPSer has around 6m health ->a tick can take it down to half.

restive scroll
#

even in fortified weeks i see healers ask for pridaz/versagear/avoid

warm plinth
#

People overestimate the effect of tyrannical as far as ability damage

ionic fern
#

It's the thing that leads UP to the deaths.

warm plinth
#

Tyrannical isn't hard because of the 15% damage; it's hard because of the 40% extra health, which equates to more dealing with the bad stuff

#

A tyrannical key is the same as a fortified two levels lower

#

As far as boss damage goes

restive scroll
#

Of course

#

And yet

#

Hyrja recks parties

ionic fern
#

Hyrja recks parties since most people use defensives during storm and even after that people are around 30-50% health..and then the RNG of Arc/expell comes in and just oneshots someone unless the healer has godlike reflexes to top the person instantly.

restive scroll
#

That too

warm plinth
#

Maybe in your groups, that's the case.

#

I've watched tons of high level M+ runs, and there's very rarely a death because of a storm+ability combo. It's either ability+ability combo, or just outright getting 1-shot because of a lack of defensive. Most groups you see are full HP after storm.

restive scroll
#

"watched" as of videos? Like premade group where they can adapt? :p

little rain
#

Its a very valuable thing to do, absolutely. having the storm do almost no dmg is insane. People still need to properly gear and cd for the st casts but every1 will b topped faster, ur healer will have more mana and cds to prevent deaths

warm plinth
#

Well there you have it.

restive scroll
#

?

warm plinth
#

Travex actually does high keys, and he says it's worth doing. So it's worth doing.

restive scroll

@little rain by any chance, do you know exactly how to do it? I can't seem to do it everytime

ionic fern
#

I rememberd i loged a HoV on my pally.:')

And this is what i was talking about..Storm+ability

warm plinth
#

AFAIK you just have her on one side of the middle, and then right before the special, you move her to the other side.

ionic fern
#

second after storm- arcing bolt for 5m

#

Taking into consideration most DPS'ers have 6m hp.

warm plinth
#

Yeah, I wasn't arguing that the storm wasn't dangerous

ionic fern
#

Oh, thought we arguing about most death causes.

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

warm plinth

I thought we were talking about organized groups, since it seems the majority of keys that high are done with stable groups.

@restive scroll We only started playing with that strat tgis week but it seemed like being somewhat close to the mid, letting her get 1 stack, waiting 1 second then leaping over was working, but the sample size of pulls was small - I still have to go back and perfect the pull

warm plinth
#

@little rain What do you use to see her stacks? I've tried several things to get it to show but I still can't see her damn stacks -_-

little rain
#

I dont have any significant ui mods, not sure i can help there XD I assume you have elvui or something?

warm plinth
#

Yeah, I added the mystic empowerments to the white list but that didn't seem to work. Guess I'll just have to keep trying

restive scroll
#

@little rain I didn't do something that precise, but sometimes i get a shield of light doing something close to that

#

which means that she stacks more before storm, so it's worse

warm plinth

She's been doing that lately just pulling her normally tbh

At least for me

#

So, mostly dps?

#

Gloves are good on single target, but it's hard to beat belt on big packs

#

Legs are pretty usefull for survivability given how much you can reflect in mm+

#

Frankly, i swap between 4/5 legendaries in mm+ , so if you just want to nobrain it, i'd go with gloves

vagrant parcel
#

Yeah it's not as simple as 1 set of legendaries, but for a casual tank like myself i'll stick to the gloves

#

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

warm plinth
#

On big packs you really can't beat the belt. Drastically increased uptime on Demo Shout is wayyyyyy better than 20% increased SS or TC after an auto attack

unborn island
#

Hands+belt, swap in bracers/legs where required. EG third boss of seat = legs and bracers. And then run speed set

round vortex

#

Nice on both accounts

round vortex
#

Cheers haha

compact geyser
#

I've been super lucky on our heroic runs. The stand out is a 975 Diimas. R a w r

round vortex
#

fuck yeah nice

compact geyser
#

Yeah dude. On aoe that thing is a monster. With BC and what not it crits for like 2.5mil

merry cave
#

I plugged heroic coven 5 times this week + guild clear still no trinket :( every week spend all my coins on it

round vortex
#

I got my 3rd one tonight lol. All 945 but tonights had speed on it as well lol

dusky summit
#

i run heroic coven since opening of argus, and have yet to see one drop for myself and i reroll coven 2-3x a week

#

not including mythic... i'm just not meant to get diimas :c

sick sentinel
#

same tho..odd coinsink

compact geyser
#

Our guild hasn't seen a legendary trinket drop and we've cleared every week since release.

timid jay
#

I've only seen 1 drop on a pug on my alt

daring aspen
#

Have you seen the tank trinket on your warrior tho?

timid jay
#

No ๐Ÿ˜ญ

daring aspen
#

But you have the dps one so you should go angry boy instead

strong hill
#

@compact geyser we havenโ€™t had any drop. Another guild on our server had 3 in 3 weeks. They thought they were a 100% drop until the week they didnโ€™t get one

compact geyser
#

I have both trinkets now. Just waiting and praying for the legendary one.

strong hill
#

Same.

Do set bonuses work in pvp ?

#

Like can I spam shield slam in pvp ?

timid jay
#

not in bg's/arena

#

but works in wpvp

dark junco
#

ok

#

Do legendaries works ?

#

Like shoulders ?

timid jay
#

Nope

upper spoke
#

what would u guys consider bis tier and farm legendaries? movement speed + heavy damage? what if u want to throw in self-sustain (just add bracers)?

#

last night i tried t20 2p + t21 2p + leg gloves/shoulders

#

and bear tartare

#

could exchange leg gloves for feet, but leg shoulders still would restrict access to 4p/2p

prisma crane
#

Yo Cosmo, how did your weekend raid go?

timid jay
#

a few 20% pulls

#

Getting more consistent in p1/p2 ๐Ÿ‘Œ

prisma crane
#

wow nice!

timid jay
#

Hoping he goes down next reset, once we hit the 10min mark with BL should be easy kill

prisma crane
#

yea, your DPS is so much higher than ours, man, i'm hoping it goes down this wk too, but we'll have to see

#

last raid day of the week we started looking somewhat stable in P3

timid jay
#

You spying on our logs? ๐Ÿ‘€

prisma crane
#

yea i just looked it up

#

on your 22% pull you were 13% ahead of us, but only like 30ish seconds further into the fight

timid jay
#

We had like 1min left to BL though

#

Which kinda sucks

prisma crane
#

yea

#

maybe just do P1 without it

#

idk

#

i guess it all depends on your timing

timid jay
#

p1 without BL is gonna be extremely tight

bitter jay
#

how much haste is too much haste?

stark sage
#

when you are sacrificing ilvl for it

bitter jay
#

i have this 980 crit vers +5% rage neck, 35ilvl above a haste+mastery, i'm newbie i don't know how to proper evaluate stats for prot, all i know is that i nee high haste for shield block

stark sage
#

980 for sure

#

and you dont really need haste for block uptime, its more for the rage generation

bitter jay
#

oh thanks

modest crest
#

A well time shield wall, demo shout, or nelth fury can help cover shield block gaps if/when needed

stark sage
#

demo shout should more or less be used on CD, for the rage

#

but if you can forsee a case where its the only CD you would have available and you need something, then sure

modest crest
#

Yeah I guess I worded that wrong, meant more if I have demo active and Iโ€™m not taking a big hit then itโ€™s ok to roll with it for a few seconds and some IP

ionic fern
#

Anyone who done a realm/faction change knows how to get their UI with them? I copy pasted the folder from my WTF file to the other server..but still nothing
Not using elvui btw

winged marsh
#

you didnt have a backup folder?

vital fulcrum
#

does shield wall act as my shieldblock

#

i mmean like an active mitigation?

bitter jay
#

another thing, is nelt lair bad for prot or it is me that sucks way too much

prisma crane
#

@vital fulcrum no

#

@bitter jay obv you ๐Ÿ˜‰ but no, it's not a particularly bad dungeon for us, and if you have arat's you can SR quite a bit on the back 3 bosses

bitter jay
#

i had problems with first boss and and with that pack with a green stone dude

#

i've never used spell reflect before lol

restive scroll
#

that's too bad, that's what makes us pretty strong in mm+

#

Check out the pinned messages, you'll see that you can do loads on boss

round hornet
#

@bitter jay r u getting hit by the cone of spikes?

#

stun or displace the mob and it will cancel its cast, no reason to eat it

undone sun
#

First boss shouldn't be an issue, the shard cast doesn't track the tank so move out if it.
The hulking giants do track the tanks however so you want to stun it every time you get knocked back

restive scroll
#

If you don't have stun, just use a big CD, not much else you can do

round hornet
#

you will probobly have a stun for each one as a prot war

#

dunno what else to use on for those packs

restive scroll
#

How so @round hornet ?

undone sun
#

Warbringer

round hornet
#

the CD on charge is pretty short, and you usually use warbrionger

#

for m+

restive scroll
#

Always run with shockwave

round hornet
#

you will have more stuns w/ warbringer

restive scroll
#

Warbringer doesn't seem that good and even more with raging week

undone sun
#

And it's off the Dr of other stuns

restive scroll
#

Oh

west kayak
#

WB all the time. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

restive scroll
#

It's off the dr, seriously

round hornet
#

anyways, even with shockwave you can always ask someone else in your grp to use theirs

restive scroll
#

alright, that's pretty nice then :')

round hornet
#

knockback like typhoon and stuff also work

restive scroll
#

These are 2 mobs packs, only one shockwave avaiable

undone sun
#

It's miles better than the other

restive scroll
#

Well, if it's off DR, yeah

undone sun
#

2 charges, off Dr, stuns enemies when you intercept a nearby melee

#

It's by far the most preferred in keystone's

restive scroll
#

Yeup, I just thought it was on DR, which would have been extremely bad (seemed logical to me it was)

west kayak
#

Pets as well including the Shadow Priest octopus looking thing.

prisma crane
#

octopus thing, lmao

#

shadowfiend

undone sun
#

lol

prisma crane
#

for the green rock dudes, just make sure ur at max melee range and when they knock you back move away slightly first, otherwise you'll be too close to charge in for the stun

undone sun
#

otherwise intercept a melee or have the healer stand close

sick sentinel
#

What is a good ilvl for the mage tower challenge ?

round hornet
#

ppl did it at like NH gear before nerfs

#

so like 910ish? average ilvl iirc

undone sun
#

can be done as low as 890, obviously the higher the better

round hornet
#

ye, also tier set from ant will help a lot

#

2pc

prisma crane
#

funny, you need 890 to get T21 (LFR), assuming the worst luck ever, but 2 legos, your gear excluding the 2 legendaries and 2p T21 would have to be around 870 average to maintain 890 overall

#

that'd be the weirdest way to do the mage tower with T21 and still low AF ilvl

fleet galleon
#

Could get average around 900 with unsullied gear. That wouldn't be impossible to have mostly unsullied gear and a couple legendaries

proper pecan
#

we killed kingarotto

#

yay

#

ranked 7 on fk yisss t21prot

empty nacelle
#

obviously things are still up in the air, but what's the story on the current allied races for tanks?

undone sun
#

pretty marginal as most racials are, highmountain's DR racial is scaled for BFA so currently is pretty lackluster

#

DiD's fireblood is pretty good but not game breaking, zandalari and maghar orc are tbd afaik

cosmic cargo
#

with belt how many targets do you need to prio TC over SS?

#

wondering mostly about BC duration

prisma crane
#

if your goal is dps, you'd probably see more dmg from TC than SS with as little as 2, but certainly at 3

#

during BC

#

belt or no belt

cosmic cargo
#

is it ever worth survivability wise?

fleet galleon
#

On multiple targets with the belt yeah, TC is very beneficial survivability wise. Assuming Demo Shout is on cooldown and you're benefitting from the CDR the belt provides

versed heron
#

so for the 'Coven of Shivarra' bossfight, what's the best way to reduce damage from a 'Fiery Strike' or 'Flash Freeze?'

fleet galleon
#

Spell reflect

versed heron
fleet galleon
#

You cannot reflect it but spell reflect still mitigates magic damage by 50%

round hornet
#

it doesnt reflect but if you mouseover the spell you will see it reduces damage too

versed heron
#

Right, my mistake. I just read it wrong =/

fleet galleon
#

No worries

#

Everything in blue on that sheet is magic damage and can be reduced by spell reflect

versed heron
#

Trying to get a better hang of PW, so I'm studying up all I can about them.

fleet galleon
#

Sure. Feel free to message here with any questions. There's almost always people around to help

versed heron
#

so each tank specializes in something better than the other. Is mobility the one thing warriors can do better than others, or is it something else?

fleet galleon
#

Warriors are pretty mobile for sure. Maybe not more so than monks with their incessant rolling

#

Warriors excel at mitigating sustained physical damage and burst magic damage

round hornet
#

monk and vdh have as much or more mobility

fleet galleon
#

DH too, that's right

ember arrow
#

i mean mobility is either quality og life

#

or when u fuck up

#

most mechanics can be walked out of

fleet galleon
#

Well, getting from pack to pack, or picking up new adds etc

ember arrow
#

my usage of leap is 99% to get to addsquicker

#

ye but i mean it doesnt affect surv much

fleet galleon
#

That's what I imagine he's asking

versed heron
#

I merely asked cause everytime I asked non warrior tanks their opinions on their specialty, they usually say mobility

#

so I thought I ask here to hear ya thoughts lol

round hornet
#

also it might be useful to note that rather than saying sustained physical damage its probobly better to say blockable damage? Since theres physical damage that is unblockable

#

which isn't something warriors deal especially well with

fleet galleon
#

I didn't think he was asking specifically about survivability. Seemed more generic

ember arrow
#

warr main weakness is bleeds

#

that last longer than 12 sec

#

physical bleeds are usually worse

#

because they ignore armor

#

if its blockable we dont feel ANY dmg

versed heron
#

yeah, I wasn't asking about survivability. more of just a generalization of mobility

fleet galleon
#

True true. Forging strike is a good example of this

ember arrow
#

it does poop dmg wit some IP

fleet galleon
#

Yeah, but you can't cheese it the way you can Foe Breaker though

ember arrow
#

i just came home from work

#

70 hours this week

#

so im here few hours and fun continues

#

so i didnt follow convo till now

fleet galleon
#

He was just asking what we think warriors' niche is in terms of tanking

round hornet
#

the main thing warriors do different than others is they can make big absorb shields.

fleet galleon
#

And about our mobility

round hornet
#

blocking is shared with prot paladin, mobility overlaps with monk/dh

ember arrow
#

prot pala block is rng though

#

u cant rely on it

fleet galleon
#

Yeah, I wouldn't bank on my paladin block saving me from death

#

Plus it mitigates less than warriors too now that we have Bastion

ember arrow
#

block is pretty unique to warr as main metigation

#

pala block is like parry is for dk

#

or dodge for bear

#

its their bonus passive metigation

versed heron
#

so, what's the best two legendaries for both single target boss fights and aoe/adds?

ember arrow
#

depends

#

u want to do dps or surv

#

ST dps is gloves/AHR

#

or gloves/belt

#

ST surv is wrists/gloves or wrists/TWF wit setcombo or without for more SW

#

aoe dps is gloves/belt or belt/sephuz

#

aoe surv is wrists/belt

versed heron
#

mainly want to survive since I seem to drop when I get hit by something incredibly hard

#

I'll worry about dps when i git gud

#

lol

fleet galleon
#

If you're getting chunked hard that usually means you're not using active mitigation right

ember arrow
#

played right war doesnt get chunked

fleet galleon
#

But I'd say bracers and The Walls Fell would be a good combo for you. It's more forgiving since you can use shield wall more to cover big hits/mistakes

ember arrow
#

our status is either 100% hp

#

or dead

fleet galleon
#

Yeah, it's strong if done right but punishing if you fuck up

versed heron
#

"If you're getting chunked hard that usually means you're not using active mitigation right"

Yeah pretty much. I've mostly in going in blind, not knowing what I need to use a cd for, and which one I can use shield block/ignore pain. In truth, even though I got the cunning trinket, I've been cautious about using shield wall

#

but this is why I'm looking up this info now

ember arrow
#

u can ask anything here basically

#

weand or our lord and savior thyme will answer

undone sun
ember arrow
#

my summon worked

timid jay
#

I don't do anything here ๐Ÿ˜ญ

ember arrow
#

i said WE

versed heron
#

yeah, I got shifting cosmic sliver as my trinket

ember arrow
#

ouch

versed heron
#

it's pretty good >.>;;

I also have the diima's glacial aegis as well

fleet galleon
#

Have a look at the trinket guide in the pins

undone sun
#

it's just never needed

#

scs that is

fleet galleon
#

Diimas is good

undone sun
#

there are usually better options for every fight over scs

versed heron
#

i'm sorry Thyme

#

i didn't mean to offend you D:

#

I have, and looked at it

#

there hasn't been any other drops for me other then aegis

#

but yeah, I've been trying to get some other drops. just hasn't happen

fleet galleon
#

A good item level haste stat stick will also help. Roll relinquished trinkets for it

versed heron
#

is scs that bad tho? o.o;;

undone sun
#

it's not terrible, just there's never a point where it's necessary

#

especially with the CDR we gain from AM

timid jay
#

If you use SW in CD its decent for overall EHRPS reduction

fleet galleon
#

You are using Anger Management right @versed heron

timid jay
#

But its nothing really good at all

versed heron
#

@fleet galleon Yes, I am

fleet galleon
#

Okay good

ember arrow
#

ok guys

#

3rd alt to level to 110

obviously tank

fleet galleon

What's your second toon?

ember arrow

fleet galleon

Paladin maybe?

#

Maybe monk

ember arrow
#

hmm

#

was thinking of paladin

#

it so hard because i wanna play allied race
