its knowing which packs to pull

timid jay
#

If you really want to get into analyzing it more, you can always start logging and dig through those

junior ivy
#

and hesitating constantyly

winged marsh
#

ye confidence in tanks is a big thing, but that comes the more you pull the dungeon

junior ivy
#

btw its super weird that skyhold is sargeras only

#

on rexxar it was cross-realm

winged marsh
#

cause really its just repetition, your doing the same thing over and over

junior ivy
#

and id never see rexxar people in skyhold , just other realms

#

now its all sargeras and i wasnt expectring that lol

winged marsh
#

hey youll be seeing me around there now ๐Ÿ˜›

#

im afk at the dummys atm

timid jay
#

Think thats mostly because its so many people on sargeras

winged marsh
#

yea super populated realm

timid jay
#

So its always a full instance of sargeras people

junior ivy
#

yes i see you haha

winged marsh
#

and warriors a pretty popular class lol

timid jay
#

Tell that to tanks

#

๐Ÿ˜ข

primal crypt
#

you hardly ever see prot warriors

winged marsh
#

ye except prot lol

junior ivy
#

its true every warrior i see is fury or arms

ember arrow
#

got 2800 score on alt now

#

only 3500 on warrior, cant get into apporpriate keys anymor

#

e

#

gave up kinda

timid jay
#

Maybe I should get some better tier on my VDH and push some m+

ember arrow
#

dk i apply inv be4 i link armory

timid jay
#

Not that much left to do this expansion when it comes to raiding

full spruce
#

in a bidding war over T3 leggings atm :/

junior ivy
#

i might work on some rep grinds

winged marsh
#

ye thats a big reason I got into M+ this tier too

#

switching to a 2 day 6 hour guild leaves room for more content

timid jay
#

Got some plans to aim for 2k rating in 3v3

winged marsh
#

so M+ fills the time

timid jay
#

But I need to play arms for that

#

so its gonna get spicy

primal crypt
#

2k you can get with prot

#

2k is doable with any spec

#

honestly

timid jay
#

well yeah

#

but its probably easier as arms

primal crypt
#

I can see you smashing people as prot ๐Ÿ˜„

timid jay
#

going TSG

#

I think its called

primal crypt
#

yup

#

TSG most common

junior ivy
#

i gotta do SoO, does it drop any mounts btw?

timid jay
#

Basically my new cotank is big on pvp

primal crypt
#

I would personally go Turbocleave

timid jay
#

and he said TSG is faceroll to get 2k with

#

So we're gonna roll with that

primal crypt
#

enh shams are so powerful

#

to combo with

winged marsh
#

mythic drops iron juggernaut @junior ivy

timid jay
#

He has a shaman, said he didnt know how to play enha

primal crypt
#

global people if they mess up one def

#

lmfao

#

faceroll

#

both of you can faceroll

junior ivy
#

cool mythic is what i needanyway

timid jay
#

Tbh idm playing TSG

#

i gotta do my seat 20, just to get over with and see what 19 i end up with

junior ivy
#

my seat 20 fell apart at the third portal guy

winged marsh
#

Teeming is really annoying on that dungeon tho

junior ivy
#

2 big pats

#

we kept pulling

#

plus the extra guys that spawn

winged marsh
#

yea the RNG on portla spawns

ember arrow
#

teeming means more aoe dps

winged marsh
#

is the thing I hate the most about that dungeon

ember arrow
#

ot RNG there are like 4 possible spawns

winged marsh
#

should be set

timid jay
#

I did the stupid promise to a guy while slightly drunk

ember arrow
#

gone sexual?

timid jay
#

He learned I was GM now while we were out drinking

#

Told him I'd get him CE

#

๐Ÿ’ฉ

junior ivy
#

i saw a guy on trade chat selling CE for like $1500 USD lmao

full spruce
#

Get me CE... ๐Ÿ˜ƒ how deep you wanna reach into my account

#

timid jay
#

Are you EU or NA? ๐Ÿค”

full spruce

Thats a small issue then

full spruce
#

EU account and come in at 860 Kthx

#

woot won legs

#

i have this feeling from black market box ill get a zulian tiger

timid jay
#

I got the raptor back in vanilla

#

no tiger though Feelsbad

junior ivy
#

i regret not farming those mounts

#

even though i have 217 mounts, i hasve no supr cool rare ones

full spruce
#

I got tiger Dec 2005, than warrior got it in 10'

#

Shaman still has the tiger icon in bags

#

never "learned" it since I did it on warrior

#

but thats all i got to be proud about lol and a rotting hwl toon

signal ember
#

anyone here got xp tanking mythic argus?

undone sun
#

Yes

warm plinth
#

Wait, I thought Seat rifts were set now

signal ember
#

We just did our initial pulls last night. I will be MT. Hoping to find videos, resources, for it. I wasnt tanking actively until Aggramar progression in raid but on that fight I was using t21+20 but on WCL I see a lot of Arrarat's Bloodmirror? Is that just because sweeping scythe is unpredictable so it's better for shieldblock uptime?

winged marsh
#

are they @warm plinth ? that would be awesome

timid jay
#

ararats is most likely for 3rd tanks

winged marsh
#

I wouldnt mind running it if thats the case

timid jay
#

I went t21 2p and gloves+belt for my first kill

#

Could send you a video of my PoV if you want to, I tanked argus throughout the fight

warm plinth
#

I could've sworn someone told me like a week ago that they were all set now on M+. I brought it up because I did it on regular mythic and commented on the rift placement

timid jay
#

no 3rd tank BS

winged marsh
#

Thats dope

signal ember
#

I'd love that @timid jay ๐Ÿ˜„

winged marsh
#

I guess ill confirm tomorrow

ember arrow
#

i really should stop isnpecting randoms

timber nest
#

feelsbadman when leggo bracers sim 9k dps higher than belt

warm plinth
#

Do you just have a really shit replacement for your belt or something?

timber nest
#

i have a 960 + leech felhounds belt. but i have 960 + socket haste/vers bracers

#

i think its cuz i simmed for ST

warm plinth
#

Yeah but bracers don't have any offensive value outside of the stats. Belt does.

#

Even on ST, you're still going to TC

timber nest
#

not sure if sim accounts for the affect of being able to line up demo shout and BC better with belt

warm plinth
#

Even the effect itself should put belt ahead. There's no way you wouldn't gain a cast of Demo Shout over a 5 minute period even on ST with belt

#

When combined with AM ofc

ember arrow
#

ST cd of DS wit belt is 45 sec

#

for me

timber nest
#

yah, i dont think belt is simming right for ST then

#

if it says bracers are higher dps

warm plinth
#

Yeah I would ignore that particular suggestion if it popped up for me for sure

main cedar
#

So if you don't have T20 and just T21 -- Is Walls Fell + Bracer/Belt still the definitive legos to use? Or does Walls fall in value?

#

Or scratch that, the Walls Fell value is the T21 synergy, not T20.

#

So Walls Fell should still be king, no?

full spruce
#

Gloves/Belt

warm plinth
#

I would use bracers/gloves or bracers/belt personally. Walls has some synergy with both (since both increase rage gain, which increases CDR from AM), but typically isn't used when gloves are available

sick sentinel
#

@timid jay id love the pov video too pls!

warm plinth
#

Walls primary use with the 4pc + 2pc was so you could still have a legendary that increased rage gain when gloves couldn't be used.

timid jay
main cedar
#

Mmm, got it. Thanks.

timid jay
#

Gloves are stronger for RPS

#

Unless you need SW for something specific and more often than kakushan brings TWF is basically a worse kakushans

main cedar
#

Sadly, I still do not have Gloves. I have Bracer/Belt/Ring if at all. I guess Bracer/Belt would be the better combination then.

timid jay
#

I'd probably go Bracer+TWF for ST

#

For survivability at least

main cedar
#

Ok, so stay with current setup, that's good. Since I have not upgraded the belt yet from ye old 940. Returning Warrior here from Nighthold. :) Catching up.

timid jay
#

Definitely upgrade the belt at least

timber nest
#

i feel like without t20 2 set i have less uptime on RF

timid jay
#

Its so amazing for any AoE scenario

timber nest
#

is that the same for anyone else?

junior ivy
#

i die insdie when i hear about people not using the wrists

#

cause of those wrists i gave away

timid jay
#

No real surprise there Larry

junior ivy
#

thinking id never use them cause of leggo

timid jay
#

t20 2p is a decent RPS increase and thus a increase to RF uptime

timber nest
#

im thinking so

timid jay
#

That haste wont make up for the loss of t20 2p

#

But its a gain in DPS and survivability most likely

timber nest
#

im actually at the same haste % as when i was using those t20 pieces

#

41%

ye

#

wanna break that 1mil

#

this was dht 20

sick sentinel
#

thx cosmo

#

dope were doin the line strat too

#

if you pull the boss you could use berzerker rage on pull to get argus into position faster,

timid jay
#

Was playing bounding stride so I could get orbs more consistently in p1

sick sentinel
#

o word

timid jay
#

And because I was too lazy to change

#

๐Ÿ‘

sick sentinel
#

ah you said you were 2 tankin right

timid jay
#

3 tanks

#

Just that I wasnt doing the 3rd tank

sick sentinel
#

o who was it that was 2 tankin then

undone sun
#

Krotos 2 tanks ๐Ÿ˜“

timid jay
#

Krotos

sick sentinel
#

nice touch of the bars goin red when he transition

timid jay
#

With my "good" editing skills

#

that took way too long to get right

brave mauve
#

What's the best way to Big Pullยฎ the trash (all the trash) immediately before the second boss of NL+18? I'm thinking sephuz and boots or boots and wrists with skystep, popping last stand right after making contact with first pack, then leaving the way I came.

Comp is prot warr, disc priest, balance druid, fury warrior, fire mage.

warm plinth
#

When you say immediately before, are you referring to the trash only in that room?

ember arrow
#

ye trigger them all, make sure to tage them, use aggro

#

then slwo and kite

brave mauve
#

Yeah. The pack of 2 (3 On teeming), 3 (4 or 5 On teeming) the 2 loners on the other side, and the patrol pack

ember arrow
#

but idk whos gonna slow

brave mauve
#

Thunder clap is about all we have, I think

ember arrow
#

ye but if u come anywhere near that trash they oneshot a dps

#

so u gotta permaslow

#

i wouldnt risk it wit that comp, unless im missing a big aoe slow from one of dps or healer

brave mauve
#

We have typhoon ๐Ÿคท

ember arrow
#

i guess that could work if thats good enough

brave mauve
#

I guess we'll find out

main cedar
#

Your Fury Warrior can Piercing Howl.

ember arrow
#

is that aoe slow?

main cedar
#

Yes.

ember arrow
#

i thought st

#

ahh well taht will work then

main cedar
#

15 yards.

#

Zero cooldown, spammable, just consumes 10 rage.

brave mauve
#

I completely forgot thay existed.

#

Thank you

main cedar
#

:D

junior ivy
#

whatsa good rep to grind for mounts

#

in mop or wod

#

something with lots of mounts

#

and not too difficult grind

ember arrow
#

achievement discord

#

ifk name

undone sun
#

Don't recall there being a single rep with multiple mounts, just a bunch of reps with a mount or two

junior ivy
#

im in that but i never use it

#

hm well whats an easy one?

undone sun
#

Angler's/Nat Pagle from fishing

warm plinth
main cedar
#

I mean, technically Shado-Pan has a bunch of tigers. It's the same mount, multiple colors. So that's "many".

undone sun
#

Ah true

main cedar
#

The Goats, too.

#

Tillers?

junior ivy
#

shado pan

undone sun
#

Yeh

junior ivy
#

i like thaty

#

how hard is shado pan

undone sun
junior ivy
#

nice

brave mauve
#

Hate to break up the mounts, but in dht I often see groups right at the beginning do some (probably bug abuse) trick to teleport like the first 8 pulls directly to where you put the keystone in. What is that, how does it work, and is this frowned upon?

fathom hollow
#

do you have any vods of that

#

or are you talking about the old mushroom trick, cuz i'm pretty sure they patched that

brave mauve
#

I have no idea.

timid jay
#

Probably works the same way like the mushroom but somewhere closer to the entrance

warm plinth
#

to my knowledge, the teleport part of the mushroom (or rock) trick still works; it just doesn't prevent the cats from leaping like it did before. So theoretically if the tank aggroed a bunch of mobs then went into that spot, the mobs would all teleport to the tank. That's all I can think of.

#

Not sure how they do it without actually physically going to pull the mobs though

brave mauve
#

If that's what's happening, that'd explain why the groups had a hunter

#

I imagine skystep + misdirect + some aoe meme

warm plinth
#

Yeah, I could see that happening

brave mauve
#

Fair enough. Thank you.

soft glen
#

!trinkets

timid jay
#

Theres a pinned guide ๐Ÿค”

soft glen
#

yeah im looking at it now

#

shouldn t really matter because i can get better/still gearing but i have the option between 915 apoc drive and 910 dinner bell

timid jay
#

I'd probably go apoc for most cases then

#

Unless you need the extra stamina for some reason

warm plinth
#

Just opened my fresh 110 pally's first relinq trinket and got a 915 dinner bell with socket x_x

undone sun
#

Rip

#

Never lucky

warm plinth
#

I can't say that. But definitely not with argunite haha.

oblique quarry
#

Is there a way to cheese the mage tower?

#

i get overwhelmed so quickly

warm plinth
#

What ilevel are you?

#

You could probably "cheese" it if you were ~930 with 2pc T21 and bracers legendary. Not going to get much easier than that.

#

No way to bug it out or anything like that.

undone sun
#

The only cheese we have is in p2, otherwise you just need to game victory rushes from the eyes and manage debuff stacks properly

honest mantle
#

what kind of build would you guys advice for imonar?

#

legos, set, trinkets

timid jay
#

Talents, same as always really

#

boudning stride is nice at least there

#

Depending on strat bracers can get a lot of value

#

But I'd recommend gloves+belt regardless

honest mantle
#

and trinkets? maybe eye + DMD?

timid jay
#

DmD doesnt get much value in that fight with all the bleeds from bombs/sever

#

If you really want to play it safe I'd go pantheon+stamina eye

honest mantle
#

aggramars?

#

really?

#

is it possible to switch eye mid-fight?

timid jay
#

Yeah you can

drowsy geode
#

am i being blind or is there no mention of haste break point for an extra GCD in BC? i know it's not making much difference but im enjoying hitting BC with the T21 2P and seeing my dps go above some peoples :3

timid jay
#

20, 50 and 100%

#

add some extra for latency and reaction time

#

But yeah, theres no mention of that in pins afaik

drowsy geode
#

cool ๐Ÿ˜ƒ got 25% atm but thats jsut through getting better gear

timid jay
#

20% is the only really reachable outside of procs and BL

drowsy geode
#

so long as im above 20% haste ill; be happy then :3 got Sephuz on for most fights now

#

my keybind for SS is goign to be broken by the end of this Antorus Run...

slate obsidian
#

just make some different ones and alternate

viscid spindle
#

hey guys...is Soul of Battlelord leggo useful/worthwhile anymore?

timid jay
#

Once you get t21 2p, not really

viscid spindle
#

i got bracers today but till then i used Soul-belt-hands in various combinations for aoe, m+ and raids but now i wonder should i put it in a bank or not

#

and i got t21 2p

timid jay
#

Just put soul in bank

#

bracers, belt and gloves are our 3 strongest legendaries

viscid spindle
#

and in m+ is it better to have belt+wrists or belt+hands?

#

for aoe fight

timid jay
#

Depends on if you need the healing from the bracers or not

viscid spindle
#

i meant can hands rage generation(=more ip) always outweigh healing from bracers in terms of survivability or is it situational (sometimes it can and sometimes it cannot?)

timid jay
#

Bracers are the strongest for survivability

#

Only thing that overtakes is belt with a large amount of targets, but if you want to go defensive with that you go belt+bracers anyway

sick sentinel
#

960 horn of valor outta chest .. time for some avatar plays guys! ๐Ÿ˜„

sick sentinel
#

Good time of the day, sorry for disturbing you guys again. Managed to get some gear and 935 now, still somehow die to things like LFR Kin'garoth forge strike while under SB and SW on 80% hp. Is it normal?

#

pretty much yeah. the normal way of suffer and floortanking as a prot ..till u get gud ๐Ÿ™ƒ

#

Forge strike Kin'garoth ... SB gives u just nothing cuz this ability is not blockable

#

Ull have to take it with heavy Ignore Pains + (if needed) other flat DRs like SW is

#

I'd recommend to take a closer look at Spreadsheet here in pins. And if u dont got it alrdy .. boost up ur UI. Its pretty important u track ur IP right. #ui-addons-manager

#

Okay, if it isn't blockable, then how are you supposed to act when you're taking it multiple imes?
I've read every single link and have both vengeance weaving wa and IP one set up, yeah

#

Okay thats gud! ๐Ÿ‘

#

Sidenote: with 2p t21 vengeance isnt rly a thing anymore

#

Mhm, I don't have it yet, only 940 t21 back.

#

As for Kingaroth: well...normal strat is to tauntswap every hit..so u dont even take a second stack of it if played right

#

It happens u get a 2x stack sometimes.. id try take first with a close to maxd up IP, and save SW / LS for 2nd if co-tank fucks up

#

However .. with some proper gear u'll should survive 3 hits pretty easy with IP on first IP+SW on 2nd and IP+LS on 3rd

#

But again...thats not how it should be played ๐Ÿ™ƒ

#

Okay ..well 2p isnt that far away for u then, gl on drops and hf with the ur new prot feeling when u got it ๐Ÿ‘

#

Yeah, I get it now, thanks for the detailed response.
It's hard to get used to the fact that you need to play the spec perfectly and that other tanks needs to play perfectly as well cause I feel like a paper thin figure if stuff goes wrong.

#

^ this

#

But it makes prot exciting for me .. i like it

#

I'm still giving spec a chance, but I'm feeling uncomfortable about not having "oh shit" button because all those "oh shit's" are supposed to be a part of defencive rotation

#

Nah.. farm up a bit ..u'll hop over this point pretty soon

#

Maybe it's partialy cause I only have sephuz and archimonde as my legendaries and my haste is low, too.

#

Once u got ur stuff together and play it decent enough Prot is far away from being a somehow "bad" or "not viable"

#

Thats been said... i rly miss my aoe stuns when im on bdk now ๐Ÿ˜

#

I'm not saying that the spec is bad, at all!

#

It feels squishy, is all, but that's because I'm used to playing protection paladin and the like that have a lot of space for mistake.

#

Yeah. With lowgear ur IPs are just melting away ... at least that was my feelin about inital squishiness .. this plus some failplays cuz u dont know stuff right makes it rly painful to hop in

#

But just keep it on..2p will solve alot. IPs growing up with gear

#

To be honest, I'm just surprised at the way you are playing the spec that has shield and how little impact having it actualy brings.
And, I mean, at what level of gear it'll be a little bit better? I don't need to overgear the fight to be able to survive it on the level of other tanks, right?

#

Sorry, that sounds like a whining, not my intention. I'll try my best and see how it goes, thank you for the advices!

#

i mean.. there are alot of interesting points in what u just mentioned. And ofc there is a reason Prot warrior isnt tier 1 tank when it comes to raidprogression

#

But ..correct me if im wrong.. palas arent seen there too often ๐Ÿ˜›

#

Lets say...its more of the core mechanic of a migation focussed tank which hurtz in prog?!

#

I mean ..compare it to ilvlstack raw HP builtup druid

#

With brainless FR mechanic...ofc ppl want this in progress

#

I got a prot warrior to...but don't like it...i miss something of selfhealing..but its good for lvling

#

@sick sentinel once again, I don't think they're bad or anything, I'm just surprised that the spec that has the largest windows of no mitigation even with perfect play has the least amount of HP, for example.

#

Little things like that, you know.

#

935 ilvl with stamina trinket and barely hit 7m hp, even fury warriors have more x3

#

Oh im totally on ur side MooDoll, just a discussion, dont get me wrong

ember arrow
#

@sick sentinel Hp isnt small, IP is our effective healtth

#

secondly, our metigation downtime is maximum 4 seconds

sick sentinel
#

Im not the 12years-prot-only-I-dare-u-say-something-guy ๐Ÿ˜‚

ember arrow
#

thats if u spam SB

sick sentinel
#

Great and all, but it's mitigation tool

ember arrow
#

in raids, having 100% metigation uptime is easily ahievable

#

with tank swap mechanics

#

andwhen SB is down, using DS to take unblocked melee hits makes u take very little damage too

#

sounds more like moodoll problem than a prot warrior problem

#

prot warrior is punishing sure, but in no way do u need to be overgeared to survive m bosses or do u have huge windows without AM

#

not to mention our main def cds are on 45 sec cd max

sick sentinel
#

LS 3 min, SW 4 min

ember arrow
#

no

#

SW 45 sec wit ring

#

LS 45 sec

sick sentinel
#

CDR!

ember arrow
#

SW around 1.5min without ring

sick sentinel
#

Is our mantra

ember arrow
#

DS cd on ST wit belt>45 sec

sick sentinel
#

Alright, it's my problem for not getting them as first two legendaries, my apologies.

ember arrow
#

did i mention legendaries?

sick sentinel
#

Once u got ur stuff together ..u'll pump rage through ur bars ..its not even funny anymore

ember arrow
#

SW cd is 1.5min and DS cd is around 1 min without leggos

sick sentinel
#

Is this with 2pc t21 rage spam?

ember arrow
#

yea

sick sentinel
#

@sick sentinel id recommend u keep farm on and we have a talk in 2 weeks

#

Things gonna change fast for ya!

#

Get that 2p and 1-2 gud legys

ember arrow
#

u got 3 difficulties to get 2p

sick sentinel
#

And fly with us dude ๐Ÿ˜„

ember arrow
#

anyone got a reccomended setup for coven mythic?

bracers/gloves better self healing gloves/belt better dps

@wide field 940 id say. But can do lowe than that ofc. Tanks can be quite low ilvl while surviving

is there any list for what trinkets you can pick for damage as prot?

Haste still best for tanks

For tanks warrior ? Yeah, generally haste is very good

#

But not for "all tanks"

keen lava
#

yea for warrior i asked

#

is there a cap ?

#

for haste ?

delicate urchin
#

which leggos u recommend for mos big pull at start, all + boss. belt+bracers/bracers+ararat?

sick sentinel
#

no cap for haste

#

go for it without sacreficing ilvl idealy

bright mortar
#

belt + legs i'd say

#

depends of ur healer

#

if ur running with anything else than a holy paladin, go bracers legs imo

delicate urchin
#

k, thx

@keen lava 117% is cap

[22:46:27] [W To] [Volnar-Twi]: Just out of curiosity, why a war tank? There's not much to reflect here :O
[22:46:45] [W From] [Volnar-Twi]: Warrior tank can reflect the entire hatred beam pretty much killing boss

#

So, we can reflect the beam in votw.? :O

warm plinth
#

No o_O

restive scroll
#

gonna check it out right now

sick sentinel
#

we cant reflect it what

restive scroll
#

@undone sun That's a good addition :D

warm plinth
#

Are you on mythic?

restive scroll
#

Heroic, wanted to rush the test

#

(associated log, i stoped dps to test it twice)

warm plinth
#

Reflectable on mythic too. Not sure how realistic it is though because it's a cleave-type ability so it hits more than just the person that it's aimed at from what I can tell. So you definitely can't "reflect the entire hatred beam pretty much killing the boss"

#

The initial targeting of it is random (but can't choose tank unless it's only you there) and then it just goes across the area randomly. So it'd be kinda tough to actually stay in the beam the entire time

ember arrow
#

hatred is reflectable?

warm plinth
#

Yeah

ember arrow
#

like

#

the dmg towards boss?

warm plinth
#

Like he takes damage

#

Yes

ember arrow
#

never knew

#

never tried

#

always gtfo

warm plinth
#

Definitely worth hitting reflect and jumping into the beam if it's convenient but I don't think it's anything you can reliably do for the entire beam or anything. Still some extra damage to dish out if you can get a few ticks reflected though.

sick sentinel

thats good didnt know

i will use pants from now on just for luls

So, been gone for awhile, anyone do the mathy maths for t21 2pc and how many iLvLs it's worth? I assume it is more than 10, but I have been known to be super wrong most of the time in the past

timid jay
#

Theres no exact number for it

#

But its worth a lot

#

Its a substantial RPS increase

undone sun
#

Very big dps and defensive increase

#

Offensively it's about 250k difference for me

chrome lance
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ Word. So worth the small iLvl downgrade I get from using 2 piece. I was actually right. Shit. I wasted it for the month, my wife is gonna walk all over me know. Damnit.

timber nest
#

since we can sim for dps now can we make pawn strings and will they actually work?

timid jay
#

You can make pawn strings yes

#

But it comes with all the faults of pawn strings so I never recommend pawn for anyone

#

Even dps classes

#

Only time you can be sure about a pawn string is when the item you want to compare to only has higher stats of the same type

#

In which case pawn is useless

#

Its something especially noticeable on specs with clear breakpoints

#

Say 20%+ haste for prot warriors

timber nest
#

well thats the item in question... sims have vers and mastery simming higher than haste and str. so

timid jay
#

its always better simming your gear

#

Just do a sim for each

#

Gear compare is a bit iffy for prot warriors with RFDT, theres a line that needs to be added iirc and I cant remember what it was

timber nest
#

says haste necki s a 3k dps loss in sims

timid jay
#

Did you do a gear compare or simmed it individually?

timber nest
#

top gear sim. doing a gear compare righht now

#

gear compare actually has the mastery/vers neck simming 40k less

#

weird

timid jay
#

Yeah those are iffy as I said

#

Only 1 gets RFDT

Unless you add a command, cant remember what it is at the top of my head

A T21 TMI boss is a bit too much RFDT probably

timber nest

where do i add that

timid jay

Either you run it locally or you do advanced Sim

in advanced sim do i just copy pasta what was posted above? or do i need more than that

timid jay

Copy the normal stuff from /simc

Shouldn't you be able to survive your first scythe, at ~960-965 with literally just armor and healthpool?

Hes definitely doing something wrong

brave mauve
#

Yeah, I wasn't saying at all that you should just eat it with your face, because there's no reason to at all, but getting nuked by the first scythe doesn't even make sense

would you suggest devastator over indomitable if theres survival issues oin this?

Vengeance ๐Ÿค”

Is he coming from arms or something?

dapper rune
#

ytea

timid jay
#

Then the gems and enchants make sense at least

dapper rune
#

yeah the pulls have cleaned up a lot from then but I mean still same issuses from that night to here.

#

just a random 1 shot in p1 or p2 from it.

#

suggested talents?

timid jay
#

Booming voice is what he should play

#

Rest is fine

dapper rune
#

mk.

#

anything else to note before I put the word out?

#

Appreciate the help as well mate.

timid jay
#

How many scythes are you swapping on in p1+

#

Seems random between 2 and 3 from glancing at it

#

I'd really recommend swapping at 2 if you cant, certainly makes it a lot easier to handle

dapper rune
#

yea we are doing 2

timid jay
#

We only go to 3 if the other tank gets a buff

dapper rune
#

hes taking 3 on pull.

undone sun
#

1/3/3/3 for us

dapper rune
#

'should try booming voice;

#

'thats a dps talent

timid jay
#

No

#

It gives 60 rage

#

Thats why its used

#

And because vengeance is mostly useless with t21 2p

#

Also his BC usage isnt the best

#

Hes using revenge and TC inside BC

#

thats a big no-no for single target

#

Hes pretty consistent at using bc and then just 3 shield slams

#

It should be shield slam spam during the entire duration

#

Hes also letting some scythes go through unblocked

#

As for surviving the scythes

#

Since he doesnt have max bastion and logs not being accurate for armor, tell him to make a plan for CD usage so he knows what he needs to survive the scythes

#

Theres a pinned post that has a spreadsheet for scythe damage

dapper rune
#

yeah its a ton smoother just trying to minimize anything

#

dont like my tanks dying as an hpal ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

timid jay
#

But he should be fine for the first 2 scythes with only SB and a good IP up but he will have to check himself

#

He is dropping neltharions thunder as well, which I'd recommend he keeps up if hes struggling with scythes

#

But mostly I'd just tell him to see if he has some more avoidance gear, get the last bastion relic and plan out his CD usage

#

And fix his BC usage, generate more rage = more IP and shorter cooldowns

Anyone here who's done mythic argus able to help me out for a sec?

#

I'm unable to survive with aggramar + SW + LS + SR with all 3 bombs

timid jay
#

Prob need a titanguard on top of that

#

Its a lot of damage

#

And I wouldnt suggest a warrior ever do that

sick sentinel
#

yeah, ideally i wouldn't be taking it but

#

no other choice atm sadly so

#

going to run sw/ls/sr + sac

#

does only one of the tanks have to do the whole bomb soaking?

timid jay
#

Sac'ing one of the bomb people works as well

sick sentinel
#

you think saccing a bomb >> saccingm e?

timid jay
#

Just sacing the tank would probably kill the paladin saccing

#

We only soak the first big bomb

#

And we have a BDK pop everything for that

#

The problem for warrior soaking those bombs is that the redirected damage is unblockable physical

#

If it was magic it would have been a lot easier with SR

#

@sick sentinel Before any DR's from anyone you will be soaking 160M damage fyi

daring aspen
#

if you have a sham or pala you can sac them all

#

pala can just bubble it and shaman can ress a healer with totem

sick sentinel
#

ah so sr isn't super great for it

timid jay
#

SR only reduces the direct damage to you

#

Not the redirect

sick sentinel
#

yep understood

restive scroll
#

(i didn't do argus) but if you take only physical, can't you bop?

sick sentinel
#

i'd assume bop might kill all 3 bombs

the redirect ignores immunities

or that

restive scroll
#

alright, thanks :) that was bugging me

sick sentinel

i think with sr/sw/ls + sac on a burst

i might survive

Sacing the bomb instead of burst is generally a good choice

iirc that dot hits harder

copper cedar
#

mh, I got a diimas and try to sim it against my memento for dps comparison, but I do not get raidbots to actually use it. I have my own APL that useses the action "actions+=/use_item,slot=trinket2,if=buff.battle_cry.up" and I compare both trinkets in slot 2, but the effect is not listed in the damage source list. Am I doing something wrong here or is the effect simply not implemented?

#

it is also not listed under buffs, so it is not just the damage component

#

nvm

#

trinket works, just not with that battle cry parameter

#

but no idea why

echo granite
#

guys pls help me to find guys who stream and got their high m+ on youtube

copper cedar
#

yeah, I can activate the trinket by name or by item slot and it works fine. as soon as I add the ,if=buff.battle_cry.up parameter, it does not acivate at all (and yes, battle cry is used in the APL and shown as active buff). so is that parameter incorrect?

#

changed it to check for demo shout instead of BC and that also works

#

mh

#

just not with battle cry

chilly hemlock
#

hmm

#

got the raidbots link ?

copper cedar
#

like this?

chilly hemlock
#

yup

copper cedar
#

I can simply replace "battle_cry" with "demoralizing_shout" in the trinket use action and it will activate

chilly hemlock
#

I see

#

You added ```actions+="/use_item,name=diimas_glacial_aegis,if=buff.battle_cry.up"

#

so it's added at the end of the actions= section

#

so it will only be used if there's no action remaining

#

you need to add this line either above ```actions+="/call_action_list,name=prot"

copper cedar
#

aha!

chilly hemlock
#

or change it to ```actions.prot+="/use_item,name=diimas_glacial_aegis,if=buff.battle_cry.up"

#

and because you spend all your globals on shield slam during BC with T21 2P, the lines is never reached when BC is up

#

but it is reached if you have downtime during demo uptime

copper cedar
#

changed it to actions.prot and it acivates

guldan mythic, drops 2 mounts?

green and red?

whats the difference do both drop each time or only 1?

a green and a red dropped

maybe locks can ? i dunno anything lol

and i really want to beat the timer on this

#

i dont have the best track record with 19s asnd 20s

fathom hollow
#

warr is fine as long as they know how to survive hyrja

#

bring a lot of interrupts

#

super valuable on teeming hov

restive scroll
#

You mostly want to kite every packs or so

fathom hollow
#

biggest things to look out for in hov are the interrupt, hyrja, and the wolves one shotting your healer

junior ivy
#

i joined a hov 20 pug and tried to kite

restive scroll
#

Since they don't do much to you, but they'll focus your group

junior ivy
#

i dont fully understand kiting

restive scroll
#

Different types of kitting are necessary. In HOV you need to be out of range of the mobs so they don't cast

fathom hollow
#

basically mobs need to be in range of the person who has threat on them before they start casting spells

#

so nelths the pelters won't pelt they'll just keep running to the tank

#

in maw the mariner won't cast lantern if you can keep out of his range

junior ivy
#

so i kited successfully in a NL 20 once with high m+ score australians on discord

fathom hollow
#

i haven't tried it in hov but i imagine it works the same way, problem with hov is you don't have a lot of room to kite

junior ivy
#

but when i tried it in hov ..........

#

it jsut didnt work

#

2 problems

#

first of all i couldnt keep aggro on them while running away

#

second, they caught up to me!

fathom hollow
#

if you are on top of interrupts/stuns you'll be fine

restive scroll
#

That's where group comp is slightly needed

#

an assas rogue, a warlock with corruption ring, (don't remember the others) can help you

#

You need to build as much aggro as you can while they are stun

#

(like you stun, then a 4 sec stun, then a 2, then both of your remaining charges)

#

then leap away

junior ivy
#

hm okay

restive scroll
#

If you have a rogue/hunt that can misdirect, that helps too

#

That's the principle of it, thing is, in hov mobs are very spread, so it's pretty tought

#

Need to pre-assign kick sign ideally

#

which doesn't really work in pugs

#

(I'm talking about teeming though, it's a lot easier without)

@warm plinth 950

#

should i just go dps spec and pop everything?

stiff niche
#

Hey guys. Any Of you have exp tanking M Imonar? If so how did you think you did as a prot warrior? Compare yourself with other tanks and how would you rank a prot warrior on that fight?

livid vector
#

Hey @stiff niche! If you have the leggo bracers it is doable and not the hardest fight. Any specific questions you have in mind?

#

I do have one of my own. Has anyone here defeated Mythic Aggramar as a Prot warrior?

#

I'm getting into it and thinking what to run for it

stiff niche
#

I have all the prot leggos. My guild is struggling with this fight. Just was wondering if me going prot could help out. Currently have a blood dk who is having trouble.

jade socket
#

Yep bdk is def not optimal for imonar

#

@timid jay has done all fights as prot he should have more insight

full swan
#

Best trinket setup for m+?

stiff niche
#

Yea thats what my other guild said that my lock is in ( 9/11 M)

full swan
#

I know the pantheon trinket is pretty undertuned is it still viable for m+

timid jay
#

Raiding atm

#

Gonna be slow answers

jade socket
#

@full swan yes itโ€™s still strong especially at max ilvl

full swan
#

Main fury and arms so mines only 975 atm

oblique quarry
#

what legendaries should I use to dps cheese the mage tower

full swan
#

Have a 960 apocalypse drive and 960 eye

jade socket
#

Best dps is gloves belt

full swan
#

Have been using the apoc drive for m+ as it has a socket and the on use is pretty decent

oblique quarry
#

My current setup

#

except ignore the archimonde,its meant to be wrists

#

should I be able to blast him down?

jade socket
#

Yes

#

Anything past 940 or so and the challenges are pretty trivial

oblique quarry
#

my tank spec just gets overwhelmed

oblique quarry
#

wait I cant run the tower in a diff spec

#

well im done then

#

no chance

#

I can get him to half hp and he splats me

languid rose
#

phase 1 or 2?

lapis topaz
ember arrow
#

nah

#

wait till you get better gear to spend gold on gems/enchants

lapis topaz
#

Cool. What's your feel for about what ilvl you would start bothering with enchants and gems?

sturdy sable
#

Like 910ish

lapis topaz
#

cool, thanks!

oblique quarry
#

Phase 1

warm plinth
#

Neo what's killing you?

#

@oblique quarry

oblique quarry
#

I just get overwhelmed taming out the eyes the horrors and managing inteerrupts

#

I go like good good good deaf

#

Dead

warm plinth
#

Well you don't have to kill eyes if you don't need healing. Just make sure you are facing them at the end of the cast so you don't get knocked. What talent build are you using?

timid lagoon
#

How much ilvl is 4 set worth?

oblique quarry
#

The build used on the wowhead guide

warm plinth
#

Make liberal use of CDs especially if you have stacks of the aura when adds come out. Don't worry about saving orbs from Velen. Use as many as you want. If you have t21 2pc, p2 won't last long enough for you to even need a CD for annihilate so you can use everything in p1 if you need to.

sick sentinel
#

with t21 2pc am i just shield slamming throughout the entire BC window

#

or should i be weaving in TC

warm plinth
#

If the debuff will drop during BC, use TC before BC. You ideally will use nothing but slam during BC in single target.

oblique quarry
#

What's tc

warm plinth
#

Thunder Clap. That was in response to sacamano's question

oblique quarry
#

I don't need to worry about phase 2 if I can't beat phase 1

warm plinth
#

I wasn't saying to worry about phase 2. Quite the opposite. Phase 1 is harder mechanically. If you get that down, phase 2 is just a matter of time.

oblique quarry
#

Is there a way to clear the stacking rebuff faster

#

It takes so much precious tim

warm plinth
#

Nope. It's always the same duration

oblique quarry
#

That's probably the major dig

warm plinth
#

How many stacks are you taking at a time?

#

On opener you can pop all your offensives (BC, demo shout, avatar) with pot and stay in for 8ish stacks, then just pop last stand and spell reflect if you need it (cast it at the end of a mind rend cast to reduce 2x by 50%)

#

He should be down a significant amount by then

oblique quarry
#

I

#

8

warm plinth
#

Honestly if you're taking 8 after the first time, that's probably why you're dying.

#

Unless you have Last Stand up for each time. If you don't have LS, i wouldnt take more than 4

oblique quarry
#

But if I wait too long the voidlinhs overwhelm

#

And the eyes

warm plinth
#

You can take forever in p1. Theres nothing to overwhelm you. Kill eyes to keep them under control/get heals. Horrors only come 4 at a time and die in like 3-4 globals. Even taking your time you shouldnt have more than 3 infernals going into p2. I did it at 929 with no t21 and still only had 3 infernals in p2

#

And i was really bad at tracking the aura so i spent a lot more time not dpsing variss than i should have

round vortex
#

Ok guys I am here to save...

#

This is my first guide so plz PM any feedback. Working on the special effects but this should hopefully get the job done. Skip to 5 mins if you just wanna see it done.

#

Using a modified UI as well for this ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

ionic tangle
#

is there such a thing as too much haste?

round vortex
#

@ionic tangle Nope. Not for prot ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

viscid star
#

Yo guys

#

How is prot warrior doing right now?

oblique quarry
#

How many stax do you recommend

timid jay
#

I never went above 5 stacks

#

Tended to want to keep it around 4

oblique quarry
#

Rightio

#

I'm using belt and drink legendaries plus amanthul

#

Trink

ionic tangle
#

@round vortex good job on the video my dude ๐Ÿ‘

round vortex
#

@oblique quarry if you watch my vid from about 2-3 mins in (or the entire thing) I address all of that and give a live โ€œthinking out loudโ€ show on the actual challenge ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

Thanks @ionic tangle ๐Ÿ˜

#

Hopefully the first of many videos for the Prot discord. Going to base them on the pins so the info isnโ€™t conflicting

sick sentinel
#

@warm plinth ty

timid jay
#

@round vortex Good video, only thing I can really comment on is your description of IV. You basically explain just the basic victory rush not the talent itself ๐Ÿ˜‰

round vortex
#

Ah true. Yeah looking back I think there was some stuff I based on assumption when guides should be written for people with extremely limited knowledge lol good tip to keep in mind as well for future stuff.

#

I want to play with the format and get some visual cues on there. Obviously content being dated is the perfect time for me to mess with them, come BFA I would hopefully be ready for polished guides for our pins

timid jay
#

Might be worth getting some software to tune out the clicking noises from your keyboard, just for that little extra touch

round vortex
#

Yeah haha I definitely want to work on the effects / tuning side of things coming into BFA.

junior ivy
#

i asked before but i forget. for hov 19. i got warrior tank, ret pally. i should get..

#

a lock?

#

and druid or hjpal healer?
