be it they didn't want to or not
but if 23s are the cutoff, should be trying for higher
I don't know how warriors would fair in a 27
not really
outside of cheese mechanics
thank god theres soem wardens WQs that reward gold today
BUT
the MDI will likely be a bunch of like 20-22 keys
I would have loved to watch prot warrior go ham in MDI
I thought it'd be 25s
same
It should be higher than the qualification cutoff imo
well it is time trials
oh yea Travex is up there too
Depends on the gear people get as well
so whoever is the quickest, doesn't really matter I suppose
Most are probably above the gear you get in the MDI realm
I'm wondering what sort of tricks we're going to see happen
so 960 this run
likely
Interesting. So it could be 960 this time
the biggest difference is that you can use anything
They said reforging would be available did they not?
Thought I heard that on one of the QAs
Which means old tier sets
but, i did hear there was talk of limited ilvl on older shit, since it looks so bad to have ppl running around in gear no one wears anymore just because of the scaling, but who knows if they do that
For some classes
it's not reforging, it's just perfect itemization since all gear is at the same ilvl
ah
you can just buy whatever items you want from a vendor
No crit life
well what they have on that realm is a lot better than reforging
you're right though
I think we're going to see a lot of T20 4p coming back from everyone
4p2p
no
cant wear gloves if you do that
and it's going to be about dmg, not surv
you'll see 2p T19 though
and 2p T21
Why 2pc T19? That was all defense was it not?
yea but you can get it well itemized and it's free 10% to crit block
just wear the helm
and i want to say... shoulders?
cant remember, maybe it was cloak
lol
that too
but more importantly it's surv without the expense of dps
which 4p2p wouldn't be, since no gloves
thats interesting that you could use t19 at 960 or t20 at 960
960 moonglaives on everyone
yea and shivermaw's
The dream
Diima's is still really solid imo, it's got STR and the dmg is instant
i love diimas
i need to get a titanforged one thugh
thats where all my bonus rolls are going this week
last week i wasted a bonus roll on tichondrius and ursoc
but i bet a 960 glaives would hit pretty hard too
and i regret it
lol why would you coin those two?
Coining transmog π€
usually they wont kite that much and if they do the rest of the group will do the slows
patience young one
I'm still bonus rolling mythic mistress once I actually find a pug that can do it
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
lol but ur extending
True
even though ill never wear the sets
so like me you have like 9 coins every wk
cause theyre ugly as hell
By not using them lol
6 + 3 from the weekly and 1 from mission
I have been capped since January
can have even more if the broken shore shit is up
there's just not many bosses to roll on in ABT
Don't forget 3 free ones from the Broken Shore at some point this week
and when you do skips or extend there's even less to roll on
true
i've been coining kingaroth and eonar on heroic to hope for a WF/TF helm
iu didnt even do kingaroth last week
at all
i missed 3 bosses
kin imonar and vari
Cosmo's helm is 965, 1016 more stam and 677 more str than mine lol
kingaroth has a great helm trinket and relic
ill make sure not to skip kin this week
i guess it makes sense, i've always been shit about protecting my head anyways
its hard causde my guild has stopped raiding til new xpac
hahah i knowww
ive been raiding with another guild on my realm for now but theyre less reliable
but its nice cause once they randomly decided to do mythic tomb instead of heroic argus
and i loved that
even though we oinly got 3 bosses
but i guess some dont care, so it's more about having fun
Not that the fucking things ever drop
aman'thul's though π
it's not better for us outside of ABT though, for dps at least
rip
it helps the whole raid too, more proc uptime...
everyone was super salty
Guess I'll get it this week or next then!
not at him because he legit was bored of the game
but they fact that they didn't have one
yea
itll only be useful til september anyway right , not that big a dela to get
especially for someone like krotos who will be cutting edge soon
eh, more like Soonβ’
Sooner than most of us so
7%!
you got him to 7%?
for perspective
on that pull
if we wanted to kill it without dying to orb or enrage we needed to do 1.8m more dps as a raid
that's a lot
100k more per person?
Tanks can try to squeeze out a bit more as you're more comfortable with surviving maybe?
obviously some early deaths and random shit could bring that down, but we still need to find dmg
Especially the guy who's just there for orb soaking
i do almost 1m on it anyways, more than both our other tanks together, they def need to squeeze more
but our priest hates disc, though that alone would give us nearly 400k more
we also lost the buff in last phase for 15 sec, so that'll change it slightly
btw unrelated but how cna i know if the bonus roll quest is up on the broken shore?
considering i never go to the broken shore
have to go over there
i wonder if theres an addon.. lol
π€¦
You can check if the Nether Disruptor is up and then if it gives Seal Your Fate
wowhead says it
nope, secons it is
fine ill start looking at the map
according to wowhead though, when the nether disruptor is up it'll be the seal one this time around (for NA) idk about EU
k good
oo i forgot to check affixeds
bolstering, grievous tyrannical
i should be able to do my DHT 17 on that pretty easily right?
oh π¦
but at 17 you can do it, just need a good healer
yeah ill be picky
grievous makes it shit, and tyrannical hurts there
im always super scvared of dht on tyrannical but then its never as bad as i thought
i have the opposite problem on nleths lair
i think itll be easy on tyrannical then its not
it's not bad for us, it's bad for the group
first boss the furthest person takes the large hits
i guess tree hurts us
but dragon is a bitch to heal and tons of aoe dmg
and xavius can murder ppl if it's high enough of a key
and all that with grievous is made worse
dont let him stand in the pink swirls
always consider it liker easy tank and spank woith no mechanics
ebven though there are mechanics
i just dont know them and pretend they dont exist
and never have issues
he targets players with bolts
and a channeled cast
and at 50% does the large aoe
and there's the spread/stack abilities
and he gains something like 10% dmg per pink swirl that lands on him
he's one of the hardest bosses for players to deal with on really high keys
if his shit always casts on the tank he's cake, if not, it get's scary
if he rotates players he targets it's not too bad, but spams the same player? likely dead
Even doing him on (say) 21 Tyrannical, if your healer isn't on point people just randomly die
yep, and prydaz is a must
and there's only so many people you can save with safeguard
but go above that and ppl all out try to dodge the mechanics
lock portals and gates
immunities
major CDs
what's that trinket that puts a big absorb up?
Felshield emitter?
smoldering titanguard
it's really popular for heals
or the aggramar one
no a targetted one
ishkars iirc
think that's felshield emitter
I tell all dps they should get smoldering titanguard
for high keys
π
on a boss like that, who wouldn't want a 2nd immunity on a 2 min cd
yea but if ishkar's is enough that's like 3.5m shield every 1 min
and you can put it on anyone so something like xavius you can put it on the unlucky person
non healers it's 50% of that value, but it'll still maybe save you
and yea titanguard for major aoe is π
you know they're idiots if they say 'MUH DPS' when you ask them to do something like that
@unborn island titanguard is 50% of shield on dps spec, but thats still mroe than enough
idk why blizzard even bothered to change value
11 mil instead of 22 isnt exactly that much different
@junior ivy NL is probably easiest dungeon for us on tyranical
3/4 bosses have reflectable stuff
can i not put it on group loot if im soloing heart of fear normal?
i swear last wek i could..
week*&
ok ty panic averted
Is there a link to that Argus scythe Google doc? didn't see it in the pins.
i don't think it's in the pins
Thank you!
how can i get a bonus roll for heart of fear normal?
you need the old seals for old raids
@rotund heart The reason it isnt pinned is because its made by faide over at guardian discord and no one has bothered checking all the math for prot warriors
He could only guarantee that guardian was 100% correct
Ahh okay!
Still a great spreadsheet though π
Thanks for explanation.
qualified for time trials π‘ π‘ π‘ π‘ π‘ π‘
I just remember seeing only 1 with >5k score, worldwide
that might have changed but!
pretty sure Sense has qualified too at this point
travex has as well i saw
feels nice qualifying on a wheelchair class
got a DH legendary bad in the chest from our last 23 run
which i guess is a sign
honestly i expected more to qualify
247 teams total
and i know for a fact there are some duplicates in there
prot is definitely a wheelchair class in m+
More susceptible to magic burst as well
Or just unexpected burst in general
i don't agree with that
sw/ls are always up
you just have to go so much slower without mass grip
Fair
^
why
i understand for players
so u cant cockblock each other
but why not hostiel adds
because it would be awful
go do a dungeon
and imagine if you couldn't run through mobs
why would it be awful? "because it wud be awful"
yeah
im not sayign they shud change it right now
but they could certainly balance it for future
it wouldnt play well, there's already issues with random floor bumps and cracks making ppl stop or canceling stuff liek blinks or DH dashes
imagine if all mobs could clip you and just stop your movement instead of you "sliding" past
if everything was made of teflon and you could slide around them, sure, but then what's the point anyways
would that then push other players who could potentially be on the other side of them back?
it'd just make the game really rough, would you be able to push mobs in general? or only small ones?
what if 10 ppl are all running at a boss in different directions?
is it reverse tug-of-war?
bosses obviously shudn ot be able toget pushed
but then that would mean that i could push other ppl around by pulling the boss in their direction
it's one of those things that sounds like a neat idea, but i feel like would just frustrate more than add anything
but i could be wrong
wow performs bad enough without even more calculations to do XD
both are bad, need high fps for 144hz
wow doesnt look amazing on any setting
its the srtstyle more than anything
if u wanna see pretty graphics buy the witcher 3 and get bored in 2 hours like i did
luckily steam refund is a thing
yeah I know, but consistantly high framerate is important
feels so bad seeing one core almost full load others almost useless
higher
but if you dont notice it being different at 45 or w/e you said it drops to than you have personal problems
on sisters of the moon
only there
45 is still playable
at 30 it starts to feel like my eyes are crawling out of my head
but that doesnt happen in wow for me
I can't keep 60fps on M Aggramar either
WoW is just optimized poorly it seems. I run a 7700k at 5.0ghz with a 1080ti and only get a max of 70fps in raids during combat. Witcher 3, Tomb Raider and the like are all at 140fps+.
I think it just runs horribly on multiple cores from what I remember
and it doesn't push your GPU properly either IIRC
but this information might be outdated, I work with a guy who was friends with one of the devs a long time ago
its true you can open up task manager
and see 1 cpu core being mostly used while others have lots of room
does anyone use elvui
lots of ppl do
me
I just remember running 9+ Eve Online accounts, mine and my buddies, off of a 4700k and 570's in SLI. Never a FPS issue. Granted that was locked at 60 but never faltered.
do you guys like it
requires some setup to make it ok for tanking, by default it hides a ton of buff/debuff that are important
Yeah - I found that really annoying, trying to tak KJ for the first time and not being able to see the stacks on the other tank is derp :S
i dont like that it hides buffs
is it that complicated to set up
on a scale of bartender to shadowed unit frames to vuhdo
where does it fall
depends on if you know what buffs/debuffs you want to see
all
you can just delete the filters than iirc
so it shouldnt be hard
I think its a good quick way to setup a decent UI but I do think a lot of other options are better
like I dislike elvui nameplates
I thought suf was only unitframes and raidframes
wait
what are nameplates then
im confused lol
i thought nameplates was another wrod for unit frames
the floating health bars with like buffs/debuffs above things heads
like kui and tidy plates
Why do you actually want ElvUI? 
i like how it looks
everything matches
and everyone else uses it and i feel like im missing out
You'll probably have to disable most other addons that change that stuff then
I'm not a fan of elvui tbh
thats the reason I have it, for the theming
Sure it matches but thats about it imo
I had to remove elvui before an hour with it had passed. Just messed up too much stuff, and was too resource intensive on my Commadore 64.
its mostly for people who cba to fix their own ui imo
hmmm
is it easy to turn off parts of elkv ui
like i dont wanna use iuts nameplates or unit frames
or buffs
or action bars
kinda, depends on what parts
What do you want it for then?
what do yo uwant out of elvui than lmao
not sure i msotly just wanna see what its like
the chat boxes? π
its easy to turn off those things yeah, but then theres no point in downloading elvui
if you want to just disable it all
well im gonna try it and if i prefer my UI ill go back to my own
i like how it hides quests
btw
You do you, but wanting it for the sake of having it is going to result in you just removing it, because that's why I did it. Without a specific purpose and goal in mind, it's just a pain in the ass.
what do you mean by hides quests
ye
Isnt that in by default?
I think its a default thing
Anyway, I keep getting this bug in maybe 1 in 10 mythic+'s I join, where nothing can be attacked because "Invalid Target" and I can't do anything. It requires a total client restart and obviously that sucks when you're pushing the timer. Anyone else have this ever happen? Is there a fix?
@brave mauve SS doesnt work for example?
i've never had anything like that other than wiping on Guldan
alt tab
and then releasing
Yeah, levko, exactly.
Doesn't fix π¦
epyawn are you dueling [people
for me it does
Catfriend, it's happened when dueling before, yeah
had on dk
thats why
Guild disc priest won't let me live it down in our duel
if you enter a dungeon during or right aftewr a duel you cant target or attack stuff
But nah, I don't duel nearly enough for that to be it. Haven't dueled in months
It's really frustrating. I've filed bug reports, but nothing.
It happened last night in a 14 upper, so my wife, a balance druid, literally went bear and cleared up to first boss while I figured myself out. It was sort of embarassing.
she.. balanced... thigns out
yeeeeee
The one I get occasionally which really triggers me is that I occasionally just like, can't use buttons
it's really weird
like can't even click them
Yeah. Can't press buttons, can't even click on stuff in inventory
i can use abilities, but i need to do /cast shield slam
pretty good way to break an m+ run
Yeah
charges headlong into masses of mobs, dies.
Yeah, anything that requires a target fails under Invalid target
So TC will work, and Revenge if you get the rage, NF works, etc. But no slam spam
See, if I played a bear, it wouldn't be an issue. Thrash, swipe, galactic guardian, nah fam, I'm fine
Right?
Understandably, tbh
Yeah, it's so embarassing.
reminds me of how female dwarves cant make the jump in the river in court of stars and people never believe my sister (female dwarf) when she says she needs help in a 2 person mount
they always say shes not doing it right, but its a serious issue
That's adorable, and sad
I'd offer to help her across but...
i always gotta get my 2 person mount and escort her across but when she does cos without me she has issues
shes ahd groups fall apart
because they didnt believe her
and refuse to give her a ride
Jesus
Homegirls needa do some squats or something smh
Anyone know if the reflect on Dargrul bug has been fixed? My group hasn't gotten an NL key (until this morning) since when, you know, we'd send him flying and I ruined our +18 key and we gave up because I wasn't observant enough to notice my spell reflect was what was doing it
Ok cool, thanks.
god i hate waiting for galleon
The SR knockback is indeed gone. It was funny while it lasted though. π
Uh, about stats I have one gem socket open, and I have 75% mastery with 27% haste, should I get more haste? Or should I put in a vers gem?
I have 6.20% / 3.10% vers
haste is the best defensive stat
I'm asking cause I tried getting a pawn string from simming (I know it's not the best thing to do on tanks) and I tried a few sources, and most of them said vers, so I decided to come ask here π
So should I like get on strength gem in a socket and a quick lightsphene in the other?
yeah str is good
I know, for ignore pain
@minor fox always gem haste, but you can add the single STR one.
And for flask, should I keep using stamina? or should I swap to str for ignore pain?
always STR, unless getting one shot while playing properly*
@junior ivy I believe that item mentions that it can fail.
if it fails out inthe world you get launched straight in the air
always feel like im going to break my neck when it happens in a cave and i hit the ceiling hard AF
Thats why you wear a plate helmet @prisma crane
it would have to connect to my chest/shoulders to prevent my spine from compressing lol
my head may be intact but i dont need to be dwarf height afterwards
are you an engineer too krotos
Good chest this week
it's ok, you still kicked ass for warr for MDI quali lol
Hey. Who of you has a druide as tank partner?
I have always the problem that I overnuke in aggro.
Is this a common problem?
the druid needs to play better
but it's not an uncommon problem
can also handicap it and have them taunt a second time when it's up again
just careful on some bosses, high command and kingaroth like to go taunt immune often
i rip off an H Pal on that fight
if it's really bad, just target the adds when they're up
you'll lose some dps, but it'll prevent the exploit weakness on all ur melee
OK thanks. Its better to nuke adds and gain rage than auto hit π
ye ur cotank needs to get good
xD
95% of bears cant hold aggro
maybe wrong druid skills
so t20 4set+t21 2set ilvl 961 vs t21 4set ilvl 971
no idea, i took break from raiding i ndecember
i remembered him because hes only bear that didnt loose aggro
ok, thx tho
@little rain thatβs a pretty new shard you got there
@quiet delta for fights other than maybe imonar, i'd go for 4p T21
@ember arrow agreed, bears are great st many things but they can't hold aggro. Every time I do the DS BC SB shield slam spam they lose aggro
Lels Krotos we had to RE-qualify,we're up on front page twice T.T our hunter had been playing on her brothers account
bears prolly just sleeping on their keyboard
lol, at least you could do it
yeah honestly
The only tanks i feel that legitimately have aggro problems if they've got good gear and aren't bad
are paladins
DK/DH/Bear/Brew all shouldn't have aggro so low you shit on it
Dont paladins do like tons of dps
The ones I've tanked with generally don't
They can if they dont care about surv
I have to ask this question once more, have anyone experienced crazy overlaps of Shadowstrike, Misery, Melee hits on VARIMATHRAS Mythic?
misery is only applied after shadowstrike or aline in the dark or soft enrage
melee and shadow come out at like the same time if the pools on the ground are created just before he is supposed to slash you based on the timer
iirc
Our BDK's that are tanking the boss says that bad RNG can happen, and when it does he melees you right after shadowstrike.
How do you survive that?
have sblock
lul
or nelfury
well this is the prot war channel lol
uh I havent done that fight as a bdk, only as prot and brm
vamp and runetap is probobly like the same
Pretty sure haven't ever seen that's happen, they're prolly taunting slow
Do you have logs
dunno if its just me but WCL is really slow rn
the overlap tip is just something I remember from monk disco since they say to try and get 2 stacks of EB for it
yeah wcl is borked
Same
gross
do u even need all those addons
Why didn't you disable everything like I said to x_x
The setup process is easy and can be skipped really. You can customize everything regardless.
elvui has a screensaver?
Mmhm
What legendaries would be the best on Coven?
blizzard hates me

ive made 4 warriors and all 4 have gotten agg stride first leggy

Well I did check the pins, but I do still have issues with it
@minor fox wrists defensively, otherwise doesnt matter muhc
u can use nothign at first fiery strike
DS on second
and SR at third
I don't think spell reflect works on that
I just shield block cause I don't die from it
and I've killed heroic coven before, but I'm wondering if I can use any legendaries that would make it really easy
nothing exactly
so unless your just running through the walls on purpose I dont know what you want out of legendaries
SR doesnt reflect fiery strike but it does reduce damage from it because it is magic
as long as you are hitting something to gen rage you can just chill out in the storm too
and not really take damage
i like those legs on covens, since it gives you a 2nd charge for SR.
every 2nd and 3rd fiery strike/ flash freeze gets into SR -> 50% less income
if your dieing to magic damage than sure it could be nice
just use demo shout for 2nd and spell reflefct for third
both will be up by the time you have the boss again
does last stand increase ip stacks?
No, HP has no bearing on Ignore Pain.
T20 should be replaced once you get decent ilvl T21. A good rule of thumb is + ~25 ilvs
total or per piece? i'm 941 with 4/2 and 958 with t21 alone
right on, i'll give it a whirl, thanks
@minor fox rotate cds, u are using anger management right?
no need for pants
u got DS, SR, LS, SW
thats 4 options right off the bat
And yeah - shield block is worthless on the fiery strike IIRC
If you really want - use The Walls Fell ring instead of pants. Shield wall will be off CD almost every time you have to tank Noura. Plus you get the phat IP's π
But yeah the CD's Levko linked all work well. As long as on the 3rd one you use some kind of damage reducing CD (Spell reflect being the best).
Wholey shit that's the first time I have see Marok in this chat! lol
he's always here, just posts when needed
he may be here more than Thyme even
which is nutty
He has the nickname "Always AFK" Marok for a reason
but for noura, IP alone is fine for first, you can just IP the second as well, use DS if you wan, and just SR the last one
SR is your best ability against the fiery strike
diima just hits hard in general, so you jsut have to make sure you're nearly topped and spamming ur IP, use CDs if you dip, that's about it, her dmg is static, so if you keep up IP you never need anything
It helps that im oceanic lol take care of everyone while papa thyme sleeps πͺπΌ
I just have discord on my work PC so you guys keep me sane while slugging away at work lol
i might xfer realms
do eeet
the guild ive been raiding with is xferring realms and going horde
and my guild stopped raiding
so i got no reason to be here
hey i want an answer to that too
i got both but so far never used apoc drive
only dimas
well I'm talking survivability
It probably just boils down to uptime
the effect on diimas is very strong if used when taking large physical hits
apoc is more linear
honestly its probably just okay to use either lol
It's particularly good for agg because the CDR still occurs when you're ot actively tanking (outside of intermissions)

did you xfer off rexxar
can a level 1 gnome go to new dalaran?
with a port yeah
is there summoning stone in dalaran
neg
Would have to get a warlock
a mage isnt gonna wanna come to gnomeregan to port me lol π¦
im in the gnome starting area lol found this guy
Lol
π€ those aren't orcs.
some kind of skinny dwarf, that a new bfa subrace?
@shut summit no joke, just tanking the hits on garothi was easier than i thought
i just have to learn to actually stay against the wall
only once did i manage to only go straight up
high AF
yeee
is it true that stormrage is for nice people and sargeras is for assholes? why did someone just tell me that?
oh god catfriend is on elvui
game implosion imminent
did you spend all your gold yet?
You get more from the Antorus missions in the order hall lol
π
i love that my gnome stands on the seat of the motorbike instead of sitting down
Lol
All gnomes must be stepped on! (Horde player here).
is there a warrior website, similar to One Stop Lock Shop or Peak of Serenity?
If there is we don't know about it lol - the pins in this discord are the warrior bibles.
Wait gnomes stand? That's awesome haha
Weird question
I know codex has kinda shitty itemization
But I've been using it a bit more on DOT fights
and it's really, really nice to help pad and buffer
Am I retarded or is this what it's good for?
Or if you have a 980 and wanna push your item level higher when you log off
The reason it's good for other tanks and not as good for us is because we spend a lot of time at high health, which makes things like that not as useful for us. Other tanks like DKs and pallies are designed to take more damage, so they get more benefit from it. AFAIK, no one really uses it for ST though since it excels in AoE situations (the procs don't share RPPM so you can get crazy procs in an AoE situation with constant hits coming in)
Barthilas OCE ftw!
ik dunno if i can bring myself to transfer
doesnt really matter what realm u play with the cross realm possibilities
except for m raiding
40% is not too much
awesome
it's only too much if you sacrificed ilvls to get it
ur good then
had 55% and now im down to 50%
lets see what shit ill get from weekly
gonna see on dk and warr π
960 fire relic with intolerance
hell ye
Kappa
Lol
Eu or na
um NA i think
I got Γ 970 haste mastery belt in my chest =) replacing Γ 915 crit smth
Sweet
@last breach talents are fine, what're your lego choices
Regardless ideally soul isn't to be used with t21 2pc
mammoroths bracers, and depending who im fighting or what im doing it varies from legendary ring quest to soul of the battleord for extra talent or waist for demo decreases when fighting larger mobs
Iβd stick just the belt and gloves exclusively. Until you get either gloves or the walls fell (other leggo ring) @undone sun confirm/deny?
Right, gloves/belt/bracers being the holy trinity and with t21 drop soul, with tier combo pick up twf otherwise π
I feel like people will agree more if youβre on board lol
guys at what Ilvl would you not use t20 anymore? Also with using t20 im am currently only at 16% haste
t20 4 peace
T20 should be replaced once you get decent ilvl T21. A good rule of thumb is + ~25 ilvs
@sick sentinel id say about 20 ish
aight
Oh there ya go easy done lol
thx could be that my new set is better than actually
and I probably can get more haste out of it
which are bis legendaries than with solely t21?
Even more if the better pieces are chest head and legs as they have bigger stat budget
when ur cotank whoopsies the aggro
Guys just to get it right (sorry if this has been asked multiple times) with 4pc t20 & 2 pc t21 the Bis legies are bracers and Thundergodβs (single)/ Walls Fell (AOE). Once my Ilvl is high enough for pure 4pc t21 the BIS legies are bracers and gloves?
Switch out TGV and TWF, TWF is ST and TGV is for AoE
Yeah they are
Its just that you said Thundergodβs (single)/ Walls Fell (AOE) when its the other way around
TGV is our strongest AoE legendary regardless of tier
ah ok
And the reason kaku isnt used with t20 4p + t21 2p is simply that you cant since you need all your tier slots
I see so bracers and gloves once I leave the t20 behind me
thanks π
or need thundergods for aoe
Iβve used gloves/bracers for all current 5/11M but high command and I use gloves/belt for all that aoe getting demo back off CD.
Though guild officially called mythic raiding for the expac. So looking at taking my 6 tanks else where till BFA
@cedar turret
(You don't have to think about tier when choosing legendary - except the obvious slot collisions.)
First, you pick situational legendaries that are very strong in the given situation:
Legs - for the Spell Reflection timing (notably Varimathras).
In any AoE situation, you always use belt.
(There might be more in this category, like trinket or even shoulders, but the situations are pretty rare.)
Next, you ask yourself: do I want to improve my self-healing/survivability? If so, you pick bracers.
Finally, if you have legendary slots available after this, you take gloves (if the slot is available) and if you have another slot, you pick ring.
Hey people, is there any netherlight crucible string for a prot warrior?
no
No, if you're looking for survivability the relic needs bastion
MoS is by far the best t2 trait for survivability unless you're avoidance capped, rest are a bit so-so
Ilvl >>>> all, unless it has Bastion.
Ik racials leave a minimal impact but are there any races you guys recommend? I was looking at the highturen racial but just curious
Survival-wise, if you're going to ridiculous levels of min/maxing, HMT would be best
sorry i forgot. What is the best defensive combo and offensive combo with 910 arcano, 945 eye of shatug and dmc immortality?
945 Eye of F'harg + DMC for DPS probably (if you have no other trinkets). DMC+Arcano for physical defense. Arcano+Shatug for magical defense
I know 10 ilvl on helm slot is usually a no-brainer, but this one is tough for me :/
cheers bro
I'd go fore the 965 mainly because of the heavy crit on the 975
yeah, the high crit is the sole reason I am questioning this
high pieces are always crit, arenΒ΄t they? :X
monkaS
woah
Idk, my only 985 piece is a vers>mast ring
My other 975 is legs, also with 14xx crit of course.
But no reasonable replacement for it
sigh
I have zero crit aside from my artifact :p
I was quite low on crit some weeks ago. Then a wave of "upgrades" flooded me, all 20+ ilvl with hight crit.
Now I slowly try to replace those crit items
Yeah that's always a bummer. I'm also only 949 equipped
My "aim" for Legion is 10m HP without indom, stamflask or stamtrinket. It is possible, but really, really hard.
With Legion going for several months to come, I think that is achievable with reasonable item choices.
ofc it is just an arbitrary aim
no special reason
setting aims like this keeps you motivated :/
Yeah, honestly that's mainly gonna come from getting high ilevel jewelry. That's where I see the most impact on HP
Since jewelry has tons of stam
it all adds up
Yep. I'm only at 8.3 mil D:
but the major slots like chest, head, legs are more impactful I think
I sit at 9.6 or 9.7m in my "alround gear" currently. Of course this changes depending on setups for individual bosses.
which are the 2 bis legendaries for prot ?
that helm will drop me a good bit now
What's your equipped ilevel Ak?
971 (with a 925 haste stick dragging me down)
Nice
with my 965 eye it is like 974 or 975 dunno
But I am not wearing 6p combo and not downlevelling relics for bastion.
so maybe a bit "inflated"
If you donβt take safeguard for m+ what is the better of the other two options for hps
Ah, I mean, I wouldn't go for 6pc at this point (and especially not at your point), but I'd forgo ilevel for bastion for sure.
Impending for you, Inspiring for group, but it's not true leech so it really only affects your DPS, and will often result in overhealing
Yeah, I am actively looking for bastion relics currently, but have a hard time downgrading.
I know it is really strong
which legendaries are good for tanking dungeons.. i want to learn tanking
been bitching into TC/rev relics lately
Gloves/belt/bracers
Belt in any AoE situation. Gloves offensively, bracers defensively
Impending is the one that will overhead is what you meant?
No, inspiring
Kk
No real reason not to use Safeguard though. Easily the best choice for dungeons
And with Warbringer you're going to be using Intercept on allies a lot anyway
though someone who wants to learn tanking might not start out with safeguard I guess
Yeah I used Impending Victory for a long time but I also wasn't using Warbringer at that point
I need some legit raid frames to get safeguard going
Iβll have to try elvui
I couldnΒ΄t stand elvui ever. tried it a couple of times over the years and could not get used to it.
I use it because I don't care much about my UI and I can't be bothered to get 80 other addons to do what it does.
I use it, but I prefer grid for party frames
yeah, it is a comfortable way, no question. but I am so used to my own UI (well, hardly worth that name) that changing is giving me a hard time
I tend to refrain from making UI suggestions. Mine is kind of a train wreck, and anyway, what's good/bad in a UI is almost entirely subjective. If it works for you, use it.
absolutely
so did I understand that correctly that sims are working for our damage output by now, if we use a proper custom APL? With set bonusses, legendaries and all that stuff?
That's correct
great, somewhat missed that. will keep me busy today.
The only thing not accounted for at this time I believe is RFDT
yeah, got that.
so I assume haste will get some higher value in the sims than it actually deserves
or what is the consesus on interpretation consequences of missing rfdt?
It's going to affect your APM obviously but I don't think it'll affect haste's value at all. That being said, I'm no expert when it comes to stuff like that so take that with a grain of salt.
Haste will always be a little wonky in sims at times though, since sims sometimes take into account breakpoints that we don't and that don't actually matter in real gameplay
To my knowledge all legendaries should be working like they're supposed to
and the pantheon trinket? it proccs from damage taken, you know if thatΒ΄s working?
It should; tanking dummy does damage, it's just not much iirc. As long as there's incoming damage showing in the sim, it should be proccing like it's supposed to be.
yeah, just did a quick raidbots sim to checl. trinket is procced.
nice
that will help me out greatly
huge thanks to whoever fixed the sims β€
That would be Melekus π Prot hero!
+1 for melekus then
I think we have a couple guys working on a general APL too
I have my own APL that does the job
Would you mind sharing? I'm really bad at that stuff
no, sure, will whisper
itΒ΄s a mix of some APLs that were posted here loooong ago with some individual mods
Thank you π
TBH, I don't mind not having sims. It made feelycrafting and experimenting interesting.
I get that many people, especially those new to the spec like having concrete, "This is best" items but just my 2 cents
intrigued to see the differences
i might boost a horde warrior with my BFA boost
i never thoguht id be one of those people with two max level warriors
but i think im gonna be
Hey, is SB duration stacking with refreshes ? so if I use my 2nd charge of SB while having still 2 seconds duration from the last, it just adds the 6s to 8 ?
it will add 6s to its current duration
thx
i think there is a cap of like 18s or something, but you'd have to be running pants and HR to get that high
ya quite sure they capped it for all tanks at 3 times the base duration which would equal to 18s ^^ just wanted to make sure it works like every other active, cause i didnt play warrior a lot this xpac
nps π
@fierce juniper y u play baer
gloves or belt for m+?
is it true that stormrage has nicer people than sargeras
@timid jay tips for garothi M?
stormrage is a pve server, sargeras is a pvp server, that's the primary difference
and that difference is gone in BfA
@gloomy light run out sooner than you would on heroic, and the swap is more frequent
how do I execute the run?
wear aggramar's stride if you're worried at first, but not needed
you run out, then back in
there's nothing fancy to i
it*
you cna use SR if you think you're going to get hit
i make a U
if you want to go in a straight line, it's personal preference
dodging is dodging,
you can also just tank every hit, but i dont recommend on progress, though it was a lot easier than i expected
it's the same as heroic
