If you really want to get into analyzing it more, you can always start logging and dig through those
and hesitating constantyly
ye confidence in tanks is a big thing, but that comes the more you pull the dungeon
cause really its just repetition, your doing the same thing over and over
and id never see rexxar people in skyhold , just other realms
now its all sargeras and i wasnt expectring that lol
Think thats mostly because its so many people on sargeras
yea super populated realm
So its always a full instance of sargeras people
yes i see you haha
and warriors a pretty popular class lol
you hardly ever see prot warriors
ye except prot lol
its true every warrior i see is fury or arms
got 2800 score on alt now
only 3500 on warrior, cant get into apporpriate keys anymor
e
gave up kinda
Maybe I should get some better tier on my VDH and push some m+
dk i apply inv be4 i link armory
Not that much left to do this expansion when it comes to raiding
in a bidding war over T3 leggings atm :/
i might work on some rep grinds
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
Got some plans to aim for 2k rating in 3v3
so M+ fills the time
I can see you smashing people as prot ๐
i gotta do SoO, does it drop any mounts btw?
Basically my new cotank is big on pvp
I would personally go Turbocleave
mythic drops iron juggernaut @junior ivy
He has a shaman, said he didnt know how to play enha
cool mythic is what i needanyway
just make sure you pop lust before you smash your face on the keyboard
also if you ever want someone to run a few keys with DM me @junior ivy , unless im running with my team ill probably be down ๐
the lag tho ๐ฌ
there is not lag if i dont have lag
I did a pingtest to boston
I had 45 ping
Better ping than to france where stormscale is
๐ค
i came to work 1 hour late today overslept, so i said i forgot my key to check in
they noted as if i started on time
ur not late if boss doesnt know ur late
i never forget my card, so he beleived me
So I log my laptop in through my phone hotspot LOL
but i work there for 2 years now so
@winged marsh you might regret offering that, because i will take advantage and actually ask you lol
i gotta do my seat 20, just to get over with and see what 19 i end up with
hopefully something good
like a hov or nl
lol its no worries, can always give ya some tips n shit too. My teams tank taught me lots of stuff
20 seat ๐ฌ
thats the highest seat ive ever done rofl
still sucks
We have a 23 seat I think we're trying tomorrow ๐ฌ
we got a bdk ye
cant play wit catfriend then
my seat 20 fell apart at the third portal guy
Teeming is really annoying on that dungeon tho
yea the RNG on portla spawns
teeming means more aoe dps
is the thing I hate the most about that dungeon
ot RNG there are like 4 possible spawns
should be set
I did the stupid promise to a guy while slightly drunk
gone sexual?
i saw a guy on trade chat selling CE for like $1500 USD lmao
Get me CE... ๐ how deep you wanna reach into my account
gold that is
cause im buying stupid shit like T3 leggings right now for 530k
y tho
cause i have gold
Are you EU or NA? ๐ค
Thats a small issue then
EU account and come in at 860 Kthx
woot won legs
i have this feeling from black market box ill get a zulian tiger
i regret not farming those mounts
even though i have 217 mounts, i hasve no supr cool rare ones
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
anyone here got xp tanking mythic argus?
Yes
Wait, I thought Seat rifts were set now
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?
are they @warm plinth ? that would be awesome
ararats is most likely for 3rd tanks
I wouldnt mind running it if thats the case
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
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
no 3rd tank BS
Thats dope
I'd love that @timid jay ๐
I guess ill confirm tomorrow
2 people in my pug wit amanthuls

all skill
rest of gear is heroic titanforged
haha
i really should stop isnpecting randoms
feelsbadman when leggo bracers sim 9k dps higher than belt
Do you just have a really shit replacement for your belt or something?
i have a 960 + leech felhounds belt. but i have 960 + socket haste/vers bracers
i think its cuz i simmed for ST
Yeah but bracers don't have any offensive value outside of the stats. Belt does.
Even on ST, you're still going to TC
not sure if sim accounts for the affect of being able to line up demo shout and BC better with belt
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
yah, i dont think belt is simming right for ST then
if it says bracers are higher dps
Yeah I would ignore that particular suggestion if it popped up for me for sure
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?
Gloves/Belt
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
@timid jay id love the pov video too pls!
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.
Its in #promotion
Mmm, got it. Thanks.
Gloves are stronger for RPS
Unless you need SW for something specific and more often than kakushan brings TWF is basically a worse kakushans
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.
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.
Definitely upgrade the belt at least
i feel like without t20 2 set i have less uptime on RF
Its so amazing for any AoE scenario
is that the same for anyone else?
i die insdie when i hear about people not using the wrists
cause of those wrists i gave away
No real surprise there Larry
thinking id never use them cause of leggo
t20 2p is a decent RPS increase and thus a increase to RF uptime
@timid jay hmm do you think going from https://gyazo.com/850f659287f68f4b0dfdf133f792a980 and https://gyazo.com/850f659287f68f4b0dfdf133f792a980 should compensate for the RF reduce uptime?
im thinking so
That haste wont make up for the loss of t20 2p
But its a gain in DPS and survivability most likely
Skada: Healing for Total: 06:09 (30 Min 11 Sec):

gottem
im offtank
On DK?
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,
Was playing bounding stride so I could get orbs more consistently in p1
o word
ah you said you were 2 tankin right
o who was it that was 2 tankin then
Krotos 2 tanks ๐
Krotos
nice touch of the bars goin red when he transition
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.
When you say immediately before, are you referring to the trash only in that room?
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
but idk whos gonna slow
Thunder clap is about all we have, I think
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
We have typhoon ๐คท
i guess that could work if thats good enough
I guess we'll find out
Your Fury Warrior can Piercing Howl.
is that aoe slow?
Yes.
15 yards.
Zero cooldown, spammable, just consumes 10 rage.
:D
whatsa good rep to grind for mounts
in mop or wod
something with lots of mounts
and not too difficult grind
Don't recall there being a single rep with multiple mounts, just a bunch of reps with a mount or two
Angler's/Nat Pagle from fishing
I mean, technically Shado-Pan has a bunch of tigers. It's the same mount, multiple colors. So that's "many".
Ah true
shado pan
Yeh
nice
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?
do you have any vods of that
or are you talking about the old mushroom trick, cuz i'm pretty sure they patched that
I have no idea.
Probably works the same way like the mushroom but somewhere closer to the entrance
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
If that's what's happening, that'd explain why the groups had a hunter
I imagine skystep + misdirect + some aoe meme
Yeah, I could see that happening
Fair enough. Thank you.
!trinkets
Theres a pinned guide ๐ค
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
I'd probably go apoc for most cases then
Unless you need the extra stamina for some reason
Just opened my fresh 110 pally's first relinq trinket and got a 915 dinner bell with socket x_x
I can't say that. But definitely not with argunite haha.
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.
The only cheese we have is in p2, otherwise you just need to game victory rushes from the eyes and manage debuff stacks properly
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
and trinkets? maybe eye + DMD?
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
Yeah you can
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
20, 50 and 100%
add some extra for latency and reaction time
But yeah, theres no mention of that in pins afaik
cool ๐ got 25% atm but thats jsut through getting better gear
20% is the only really reachable outside of procs and BL
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...
just make some different ones and alternate
hey guys...is Soul of Battlelord leggo useful/worthwhile anymore?
Once you get t21 2p, not really
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
Depends on if you need the healing from the bracers or not
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?)
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
960 horn of valor outta chest .. time for some avatar plays guys! ๐
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 ๐
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! ๐
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 ๐
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 ๐
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 ๐
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 ๐
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
@sick sentinel Hp isnt small, IP is our effective healtth
secondly, our metigation downtime is maximum 4 seconds
Im not the 12years-prot-only-I-dare-u-say-something-guy ๐
thats if u spam SB
Great and all, but it's mitigation tool
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
LS 3 min, SW 4 min
CDR!
SW around 1.5min without ring
Is our mantra
DS cd on ST wit belt>45 sec
Alright, it's my problem for not getting them as first two legendaries, my apologies.
did i mention legendaries?
Once u got ur stuff together ..u'll pump rage through ur bars ..its not even funny anymore
SW cd is 1.5min and DS cd is around 1 min without leggos
Is this with 2pc t21 rage spam?
yea
@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
u got 3 difficulties to get 2p
And fly with us dude ๐
and be 20th dmg taken on progress
Ur IPs gonna be tough ๐ช
also "perfect play" makes it sound like wow is complicated. Use IP on cd, use SB for blockable abilities>melees, use cds when needed, theyre up in no time
anyone got a reccomended setup for coven mythic?
pants + trinket legos would be my first guess
depend how many stacks you have to take on fire one
yeah she hits like a truck for sure
but our prot warrior was doing perfectly fine with those 2
will ask him how many stacks
If you take 3, not having the pants is fine, otherwise, i'd take them
does anyone know how tol barad rep works
Daily quest, if i remember correctly. Not sure if you have to do the battleground aswell, but i don't think so
Can anyone link me to some good prot weak auras
@vale ravine some essentials in the pins of #ui-addons-manager others sre mostly preference
wow baradins wardens rep isnt bad at all
i went from 21% into honoured to 51% with oen day of dailies
one*
does golden lotus have mounts?
actually ill google it
I think it's the cranes
yess 3, yay
im all motivated for rep grinding now lol
ok so, equipping the heroic leap shoulders and aggramars stride boots while doing trivial content (like WQs, old rep farming, tmog farming) HAS CHANGED MY LIFE
Lol yeah
any list for offensive trinkets for war?
or between glaive 920 or gorshalack's fury 940?
so how much harder is argus on heroic from normal on a tanking level. just more damage or different mechananics
stacks in last phase dont fall off
unless you die i would think
recommended item level for tanking heroic argus?
Shoulders/boots/bear tartar/Runeblade of Baron Rivendare nice for old raid xmog runs
So I made my warrior prot because thatโs what I wanna play in BfA. What leggos are BiS Bracers, Ring, Belt?
Bracers/gloves/belt
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?
No
which leggos u recommend for mos big pull at start, all + boss. belt+bracers/bracers+ararat?
belt + legs i'd say
depends of ur healer
if ur running with anything else than a holy paladin, go bracers legs imo
k, thx
@keen lava 117% is cap
ok..after cap which comes next ?
ilvl>haste>mastery>=versatility>>crit
thnx !
Unreachable though ๐คท
don't step on their dreams
is losing t20 2set good if i got tier 21 items that are 40ilvls+ upgrade?
Yes, 2pc alone isn't worth as much as 4pc is and 4pc is replaceable at ~25 ilevels
i can easy get 4piece tier 21 but i only have 2pieces of t20 which are both 935 and i got in those slots tier 21 985 and 975
[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
No o_O
gonna check it out right now
we cant reflect it what
Are you on mythic?
Heroic, wanted to rush the test
(associated log, i stoped dps to test it twice)
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
hatred is reflectable?
Yeah
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.
woaw
thats good didnt know
i will use pants from now on just for luls
running on top of beam
are there some good short tl:dr like guides for the art. challenge? ๐ last month i wasnt able to do the challenge
Or does any bossmod addon work for this?
@sick sentinel not 100% but I don't think you need pants to have it up for multiple
just for luls i will just run throught beam
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
๐ 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.
since we can sim for dps now can we make pawn strings and will they actually work?
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
well thats the item in question... sims have vers and mastery simming higher than haste and str. so
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
says haste necki s a 3k dps loss in sims
Did you do a gear compare or simmed it individually?
top gear sim. doing a gear compare righht now
gear compare actually has the mastery/vers neck simming 40k less
weird
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
@undone sun
tmi_boss=TMI-T21-Test
tmi_boss_type=T21```
single_actor_batch=0
Is the important one
A T21 TMI boss is a bit too much RFDT probably
where do i add that
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
Copy the normal stuff from /simc
For gear and stuf
f
And add
single_actor_batch=0
To the bottom
I wouldnt recommend using T21 TMI boss
It does so much damage that your RFDT becomes absurd
rfdt?
rage from damage taken
oh oik
the guy that implemented the tank dummies went a tiny bit overboard with tank damage
Wonder who implemented T21 ๐ค
:[
woopsie
Tthere's no T20 ๐ฆ
if you input T20M, it will just use T21
oof
Oof
Simc when @timid jay
simc already here
๐
Here's the list from lowest dtps to highest TMI_T19L, TMI_T19N, TMI_T19H, TMI_T19M, TMI_T21
vers/mastery neck sims higher
simmed it like 3 times
RIP
i wish i had a 960 haste/vers neck so bad
I get 11 RPS from T19M
And 15.8 RPS from T21 ๐
Certainly would be easier to sim if RFDT is gone
Cosmo, always looking at the silver linings
or if you could set rfdt in sim ๐ฎ
yeah that would be sweet
but I'm not gonna add that 4 months before bfa if they plan to change rfdt in bfa ๐
https://gyazo.com/989a72843a7a9045be059bf3ca6de363 this good spec?
Think so
@viral arch need you
With fracture not costing pain
@daring aspen Yer in prot warrior chat, all specs are trash. Duh.
And demon spikes being free
It doesnt matter too much tbh
@daring aspen Thats the correct build for the player that stacks mastery on rShaman
Free ๐
fucking ion
Why cant SB cost 0 resource

thats the real monkaS @timid jay
ugh, having below 40% haste is seriously a different playstyle to me now. it feels so slow
@undone sun any tips?
...
Also yon, they dont like you complaining about Ion over at the rShaman discord anymore? LUL
they complain more than me
Spreading the love I see
lol mana worms pack in upper kara https://gyazo.com/aaae226a8525e60f057d660940afbc40
Step it up
i bursted up to 20m :/
so how do u guys handle pulling big in lower kara at the start? the ghost that do the channeling coin thing 1 shots people if I am not in melee with their throw coin
whats the usual leggos used for m argus prog as a prot war
gloves bracers
Mostly depends on your job, anywhere from bracers/belt/legs/gloves/twf are usable
does he not have shield block up?
regardless of lego choice he should not be getting 1 scythed
Shouldn't you be able to survive your first scythe, at ~960-965 with literally just armor and healthpool?
no
@dapper rune Scythe as in argus scythe?
yea
First one, strong maybe but i wouldn't push it
anything 2+ stacks just gettin one clicked by arg
Well prot warriors are probably one of the best tanks for taking scythes
Hes definitely doing something wrong
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?
im the hpal just trying to figure it out here lol
Yes, always deva
Do you have any logs to share?
Any previous logs with him? Probably similar playstyle if he hasnt done any major changes
Vengeance ๐ค
Playing the wrong talents, thats a start
6/7 in bastion is gonna hurt on argus
Especially with 665 avoidance
Is he coming from arms or something?
ytea
Then the gems and enchants make sense at least
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?
mk.
anything else to note before I put the word out?
Appreciate the help as well mate.
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
yea we are doing 2
We only go to 3 if the other tank gets a buff
hes taking 3 on pull.
1/3/3/3 for us
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
yeah its a ton smoother just trying to minimize anything
dont like my tanks dying as an hpal ๐ฆ
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
Just dropped this, is it any good?
not just for dps
it adds a decent amount of survivability
Haste is our main stat
and strength gives a bigger ip
What are some good dps trinkets for prot?
memento of angerbode, pantheon tank trinket, chrono shard is decent horn of valor is decent
diimas, shivermaws
glaives
Stat sticks are good if you're lacking anything else
will i get an increased score if i did 1 chested arcway 18
and my previoius best was no chested arcway 19?
4 mins
It might be, slightly
also i had to settle for 2500 score healer and mage.
cause no one was applying
and we still chested it
I like Arcway as far as difficulty goes on most weeks. I just don't like the dungeon in general.
I mean, you can just LoS/max range it
we had 3800 score warrior dps who was judst amazing
Ty
@timid jay @chilly hemlock 
Just saw the ping
The problem on alpha is that you're already swimming in pain
Literally
LUL
Making sb free would make it even more impossible to empty that bar

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
Prob need a titanguard on top of that
Its a lot of damage
And I wouldnt suggest a warrior ever do that
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?
Sac'ing one of the bomb people works as well
you think saccing a bomb >> saccingm e?
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
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
ah so sr isn't super great for it
yep understood
(i didn't do argus) but if you take only physical, can't you bop?
i'd assume bop might kill all 3 bombs
the redirect ignores immunities
or that
alright, thanks :) that was bugging me
k
Update: I survived with sac on bomb & ironbark + all my cd's
hooray
warrior can into soaking bombs
just got thunder and wanted to see if im wrong for just over all lego combo soul and thunder or am i better running Manna and thunder or is there just a over all better combo for 5 man im missing?
ok so i need to get a ring to replace soul with then ty
Gloves are the best leggo imo, I don't think I've unequipped them since I got them
Actually,I have, 22 tyrannical 3rd boss in Seat
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
guys pls help me to find guys who stream and got their high m+ on youtube
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
yup
I can simply replace "battle_cry" with "demoralizing_shout" in the trinket use action and it will activate
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"
aha!
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
changed it to actions.prot and it acivates
๐
Theres a mount in the end
You probably overgear it at this point
Shouldnt be all that hard to do
ok second question
guldan mythic, drops 2 mounts?
green and red?
whats the difference do both drop each time or only 1?
Mythic is only red
Or well, green can drop
Green is 1% on all difficulties
Red is guaranteed on mythic
ohh ok cause when i did guldan mythic for first time the other day
a green and a red dropped
well thats lucky
i g ot neither though lol
gonna keep doing it til i get red one
btw can someone he,lp me out with a perfect group composition for HoV 19?
must include prot warrior and ret pally.
rogue would be fine too
what about dps warrior? the druid healer friendss main is warrior dps and he came to arcway 18 and just destroyed the huge packs of trash
or is there a ranged class that cna do that too?
maybe locks can ? i dunno anything lol
for any key under 20 comp isn't really gonna matter
just need people to not be potatoes
ive only ever beatr the timer on one key above a +18
and i really want to beat the timer on this
i dont have the best track record with 19s asnd 20s
๐ฆ
warr is fine as long as they know how to survive hyrja
bring a lot of interrupts
super valuable on teeming hov
You mostly want to kite every packs or so
biggest things to look out for in hov are the interrupt, hyrja, and the wolves one shotting your healer
i joined a hov 20 pug and tried to kite
Since they don't do much to you, but they'll focus your group
i dont fully understand kiting
Different types of kitting are necessary. In HOV you need to be out of range of the mobs so they don't cast
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
so i kited successfully in a NL 20 once with high m+ score australians on discord
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
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!
if you are on top of interrupts/stuns you'll be fine
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
hm okay
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)
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?
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
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.
Yep bdk is def not optimal for imonar
@timid jay has done all fights as prot he should have more insight
Best trinket setup for m+?
Yea thats what my other guild said that my lock is in ( 9/11 M)
I know the pantheon trinket is pretty undertuned is it still viable for m+
@full swan yes itโs still strong especially at max ilvl
Main fury and arms so mines only 975 atm
what legendaries should I use to dps cheese the mage tower
Have a 960 apocalypse drive and 960 eye
Best dps is gloves belt
Have been using the apoc drive for m+ as it has a socket and the on use is pretty decent
My current setup
except ignore the archimonde,its meant to be wrists
should I be able to blast him down?
my tank spec just gets overwhelmed
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
phase 1 or 2?
Hi fellow warriors! I recently hit 110 and am working to gear for raiding. I'm presently at ilvl 813. Is it worth gemming or enchanting the ilvl 850 neck I got? (http://www.wowhead.com/item=133636/brysngamen-torc-of-helheim&bonus=1502:1826 though I might be linking it wrong, mine's epic?)
Cool. What's your feel for about what ilvl you would start bothering with enchants and gems?
Like 910ish
cool, thanks!
Phase 1
I just get overwhelmed taming out the eyes the horrors and managing inteerrupts
I go like good good good deaf
Dead
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?
How much ilvl is 4 set worth?
The build used on the wowhead guide
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.
with t21 2pc am i just shield slamming throughout the entire BC window
or should i be weaving in TC
If the debuff will drop during BC, use TC before BC. You ideally will use nothing but slam during BC in single target.
What's tc
Thunder Clap. That was in response to sacamano's question
I don't need to worry about phase 2 if I can't beat phase 1
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.
Nope. It's always the same duration
That's probably the major dig
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
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
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
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.
This is my first video guide for Protection Warriors on World of Warcraft. This guide will give you the information and tools to take on the mage tower artif...
Using a modified UI as well for this ๐
is there such a thing as too much haste?
@ionic tangle Nope. Not for prot ๐
How many stax do you recommend
@round vortex good job on the video my dude ๐
@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 โthinking out loudโ show on the actual challenge ๐
Thanks @ionic tangle ๐
Hopefully the first of many videos for the Prot discord. Going to base them on the pins so the info isnโt conflicting
@warm plinth ty
@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 ๐
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
Might be worth getting some software to tune out the clicking noises from your keyboard, just for that little extra touch
Yeah haha I definitely want to work on the effects / tuning side of things coming into BFA.
