DMDI + pantheon if you want more survivability
if you want dmg, then pantheon + a stat stick or a high ilevel memento or something
5 man content i use diimas for aoe, and memento for bosses
@celest portal pantheon is bad surv wise, good dps wise. DMD is really good at metigating physical dmg. For dungeons, sahtug is more for surv, and fharg is like a poor man's DMD, but the str makes it also increase ur IP by more than the shatug's versatility as well as increasing damage dealt

i mean well have to kill him every week still but getting to argus will be faster atleast
๐
Indeed, we didn't extend either and the skip made it much quicker
i hope we still atleast kill coven
weve killed them 9 times and only 1 prot token has dropped
๐ฉ
We got that problem on AHC
I think I have the only prot token that has dropped from that boss on mythic
and it went 970 socket
Finally the lego waist ๐ Had the Walls ring yesterday as well
Does anyone know how exactly argus decides who gets aggramars in p2 on mythic?
First one is first tank -> 2nd one is ???
random
rnd i suppose
Between the other 2 tanks
Lasts one min, and eventhough agggrammars is still on you, the 2nd bomb is always for the otehr tank....at least that's what I noticed....
but i have legitimately got teh 2nd aggramars
16 times in a row now
and it's not fun taking it
Same
i could tank it blind until p2 i think
I dont even have 300 pulls ๐
neat
Killed it yesterday?
Yeh
Only 2 weeks after you then ๐
195 pulls
still no p3
๐ข
ok turns out 196 pulls was how long getting to p3 takes thanks for reading my blog
๐
You can guarantee who the debuff goes on by having 2 tanks ๐
You can also kill off 2 tanks to guarantee the one you want gets it
What is the current most garbage legendary for prot warriors?
Chest
IP can't crit yeah?
garbage Drape of Shame, shaming me with 970 from the weekly crate
I got 970 vers/mastery boots
Got Aggramar last night, doing mythic Argus tonight. Any tips? I'm nervous af.
@compact geyser check pings for cosmo's spreadsheet i used it for aggramars to make my gear for survival worked really well
hey friends, how is prot atm?
I need help for tonight! this week we lost our prot/holy/ret pally where we would 3 tank a few fights...particularly imonar, having him clear the bridge while the rest of the raid spirit linked and healed off the debuffs....this was on every even numbered bridge, or the 'red' bridges. I'm prot warrior, my co-tank is blood dk, we have no BoPs in raid. The best solution we've come up with is to have me get on my 950 prot pally and try to do what our old pally did, which didn't really work out. Really hoping for some advice for a 2tank strat with this tank/raid comp.
does the versatility buff from concordance of the legionfall suffer diminishing returns?
@ornate grail we do fine in raids, a bit more punishing than most tanks but very rewarding to play well
i guess the root of my question is: does versatility suffer DR for prot warrior?
Nothing outside of the normal "DR" from stacking different reductions
Versa is always 950 rating for 1% DR at 110
@lone umbra You can use the normal strat of having a DH clear and just ress them after
having resto shamans makes it a lot easier with the ress totem
im sold. 79/75/75 are my weapons. wanted to bring arms/fury to 75 before deciding whether to further upgrade my prot weapon
sounds like i should dump it into prot
950 for 1% is precisely the kind of answer i was loooking for. thanks cosmo
๐
Guys, question, what do you think of mrrobot for prot warrs?
It currently suggests a high mastery/high vers/low haste build for my current ilvl (956)
Confused as haste prio is all you read on guides
Hue hue hue
Think I can safely speak for every prot theory crafter in skyhold when I say that you should never trust ask mr.robot
At this point I think any response can be summarized as "don't ask Mr robot'
Bummer, looks like they put so much effort in it.
975 without bastion or 950 with bastion?
Id definitely go for the 950 if you plan on doing mythic raids
ok ty
950 vrykul shield training w/ bastion or 965 shatter the bones w/ bastion?
i use 4p/2p often, which devalues shatter the bones
Defensively probably the 950 one
thanks again. was thinking same thing
is there a way to know exactly when to pop NF on M argus' scythe to ensure a crit block ? the randomness of his cast fucks me up each time
As long as NF is up for the scythe its going to be a crit block
thats the point. sometimes i use NF and it fades before he casts
What phase are we talking about?
1 ๐
i mean the scythe is on a timer no?
and the only thing that could take priority over it are him casting that orb thing and tortured rage right?
@fathom hollow The timers get interrupted a lot and delayed up to 6-10 seconds sometimes
Everything else has prio over scythes and its really inconsistent in p1
Much less so in p2 and even less in p3
Whats the reasoning for changing at 3 stacks? Doing it at 2 is generally a lot safer
And if you cant really hit NF consistently maybe use SW/LS and alternate for the 3rd instead
going up to 3 for the buffs timers as I have read it is better done this way. and anyway I need to get used to it for p2 and p3
I've also found there's one particularly shitty overlap with a rage and melee swing that hits like a fucking truck
2 stacks are bae for P1/2. P3 scythe also more predictable
We go 1>3>2>2 etc in P1
We go for swaps on 2 and generally its only if he delays a scythe a bit that my BDK cotank doesnt get the buff
ok I have read on many places that going to 3 for the 1st tank and then 2/2/2 was somhow better
I have a much easier time with leap
I mean maybe? We kinda just wing it
Go for 2 unless the other tank gets a buff in which case we go for 3
There's lots of variation to P1 timing
I use SW for the 3rd scythe in p1 if I need to take it though
With all the delaying getting NF for it is a bit inconsistent
ok so what I understand from you is that i cant really rely on NF but should rather use SW/LS/trinkets to reliably go above 2 stacks
ok.. didnt see p2 yet. thks for the input
You dont really need your big defensives in p1 anyway, might as well play it safe and use SW+SB
or LS+SB
right
@timid jay thank you, that's generally what we're thinking is gonna have to happen, just gonna be re-progression a little bit for us >_<
@lone umbra allso use skystep potions if you're not doing that already
iirc you only need one person to take 3 stacks
thats how me and my cotank do it and we can usually get 4 stacks of the buff swapping on 2 after
and it usually works fine unless he does some weird shit like do like 5 scythes before the first cone
prolly better to just look at his casts rather than tuanting on a specific # of scythes
curious: tanking mythic (esp argus), do u guys use t21 4p or wf/tf t20 4p + t21 2p?
if your t20 is super high then you can use 6pc, but GL with that
it's about 925
interesting
aggramar hurts you feel the damage when you get high stacks and dont have SB
how worth it is leech
not as good as avoidance
does it count on IP
I've been away for awhile, is 2pc t21 and 4pc t20 still what I should run or should I replace my t20 with my higher ilvl gear?
anyone know how long it takes for trash to respawn in a MoP heroic raid?
probably like 30 min after everyone leaves the instance iirc
@leaden vapor depends on the ilvl difference, but if you have full mythic t21 you should probably drop t20
especially if you dont need the extra self healing
is it possible to have SB on each scyth on argus hc last phase? i just died on 15 couse SB was on cd, what im probably do wrong?
depends on haste, but pretty sure eventually you will miss one
with HR you can have 100% blocked tho
but that is for memes
so only haste depend, okk
i mean you could just be mis timing your blocks too
that will screw you up
in hc how many stacks are you getting to
lul got 980 relic without bastion but for fury there bis Unrivaled Strength ๐
Damn and noice!
ye, nice motivation playing fury XD
Does anyone else have a hard time not stealing agro back off the other tank after they taunt off? I went damage build with Anger Management and was using the gloves/belt legendaries and would periodically steal agro from the offtank at the worst possible moments (like Kin'garoth after I already had 1 stack on me). I didn't know if that's on me or on the other tank not generating enough threat. The other tank is a prot pally that is nearly as geared as I am (970). Anyone have suggestions for this other than having hunters MD him at certain times in the fight to make sure he maintains agro? Thanks
GLEAAAAAAAAAAAM
FUCK I HATE THAT.
I work as a barista and when customers go "UM... YEAH COULD I GET A LATTE WITH AN EXTRA EXPRESSO SHOT?"
I wanna slap the SHIT outta them.
Fuck I hate that.
i love eXpresso
KYS.

eXpresso best eXpress
CRINGE
ay gis
I literally have never heard anyone say it like that.
But my old vanilla glead used to called C'thun
@stray wedge Heretic detected
SEE-THUN
I wanted to smack the shit outta him.
Like with a LONG C and SHORT U.
Oh my god.
I couldn't raid with him.
i say 'ay-gis'
AND YOU'RE FUCKING WRONG
lol
REEEEEEEEEE
Pronouncing wrath like moth always sounded strange to me
It's pronounced "eye-dole-uhn"
I just remember that from 1st of april
And that sounds absolutely bonkers.
lol
I mean I dont
Like the short o sound in wrought?
Fucking hell.
That it should be hammer of moth instead
well if you want to be correct, rhyming with moth is correct
Yes, but it's not Hammer of Wroth, is it, now?
My cata guild lead used to call Alysrazor "ALICE-RAZOR"
My word.
drought
They pronounced it like it was spelled
"wroth" doesn't rhyme with moth
And I got memed for correcting them
the 'o' sound in "wroth" rhymes with the 'o' sound in "rope"
whereas the vowel sound in "wrath" rhymes with "moth"
It's an imperfect rhyme.
And it's dogshit.
And you know it.
Also, I get that shit all the time, Cosmo.
My past guilds and mates give me flak for correcting them on boss names, item names, spell names, etc.
My guild still calls CoF Concordance of fates sometimes
I normally just ask for clarification if they're gargling marbles
my guild calls they brambles on cenarius imps
because lord knows when I say many words they don't sound like the rest of the world due to my accent.
my guld calls the blobs on il gynoth imps
@quartz pond now that's just madness.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj_yDBY14nk
Like this Macro?
How do you say wrath in British English? Watch our video to find out the pronunciation, and read what the word means at http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/def...
yes
Oh, you mean not real English pronounciation.
๐
What
but if you describe someone as wroth, i.e. the adjective
basically we got xhul horac PTSD
that's pronounced rhyming with the word "oh"
How do you get orbs to imps
like r-oh-th
also manoroth PTSD
British English derived from a stupid accent the upper crust made for themselves eons ago.
its basically "watch the imps"
We're protecting the true British pronunciations here
Yeah but English people have their own accents, so I don't think comparing pronounciation is fair.
works for e verything, blobs fire eyes actual imps
The American English accent was actually how normal people said shit all the way before and after they arrived in America.
lol
If this is getting into history and linguistic historical intention, ya'll can have fun with it. ๐
I watch "The terror" for the accents
meanwhile, try saying car in Boston
i think we can move back to #protection discussion :P
or bag in Minnesota
That's where I'm from! @prisma crane
Bayg
Cah
I have family up in minisoda.
One of my cousins is a complete weeb so I told him that he "Makes my kokoro go doki-doki, dontchyaknow."
Got him all fucked up.
spot on
Anyway, about them shields.
I got argus down on second pull
@timid jay
#protection discussions. Shields, motherfucker.
and sadly, with the talk of BFA Prot, and our current state in M+ and other stuff, prot is dying ๐ฆ feels like shit
๐
Had fun soaking orbs?
Le memorie
M Argus?
if u dont
MMMM pants
well, 7M before vers and avoidance
Can monks stagger orbs?
Avoidance is for the burguesy
my highest hits were around 5.3m iirc
Bourgeoisie
id I saw shit like 6.6m
lol holy shit shenko
Whatever
it was fun anyway
Burguesia in spanish
i hate soaking orbs
and has 20GB log
But seriously, can monks stagger them or no?
or id check
Its 7M shadow damage
They can talent magic.
the orbs
We might have a monk soaking
So I just want to be sure.
you must have no avoidance
I have 0
yea, ok, makes more sense
and not too much vers I guess
sounds like it
I dont even have 75 traits as prot bro
i mean, i can get over 44% if i use my M+ cache gear
idfg
I Don't Fuckin Gear?
since game wants me to gear like all expansions before with Crit>mastery
u got it
๐
Why would you save crit gear :GWfroggyBlobThonk:
because i didnt at first, but im going on about 7 wks straight
so i just keep it for shits
going to see how much crit i can get
im also beginning to think a rekill on argus isnt ever going to happen
so there's that too
idc, going to just play SoT more
Still waiting for our aggra first
that ^ said, i much prefer wiping on argus more than agg
idk why, ihate the agg fight
i feel like there's so little i can do to affect how well we do
You can backstep off the platform :GWfroggyPepoSmug:
who would ever do that?
@timid jay
haha
The clip
ur "oh my god" was ๐
make them learn to hit taunt again once it's up
3s
It's like 900% or some batshit number like that
300%
Really?
my tank says
still large
Then you should start the pull?
what's ur cotank?
And you have pants
Monk
:GWqlabsYaoLUL:
LOL
๐ฅ
I had pants boots xD
Good ol portuguese
@quartz pond You should tell them to let you start the pull if they can't hold threat off you on pull.
My RL was the MT and he just passed the role off to me because he knows he can't hold vs me on pull without taunt.
I dont taunt on pull
always taunt on pull, get that mad burst threat
But im warrior ๐คท
good paladins can pull from you
plus, there's no reason not to
DK has to really try
not like it hurts at least
DH is pretty hit/miss
But my goodness suprasses theirs ๐
fair enough, it's just habit at this point
Regardless, either your tank needs to taunt open or you need to start
There's no point in hamstringing your DPS because they're shit
Just lost damage on boss
plus the taunt saves melee if they like to fucking teleport to the boss while im mid charge in
๐ rogues
We started calling Forging Strike the potato masher.
cant wait to see what one of those dudes was about to type.... ffs ๐คฆ
And if you died to it you got the potato rank in guild and discord
im not a fan of that strike, warrior kryptonite
It's not that bad.
You can take 3 strikes
4 is basically a death sentence unless a miracle occurs
Kingaroth?
Ye
Empowered by what?
but without CDs you need to have a massive IP to survive the 2nd
I always took 2 after interphase so the other could tank the add without worrying
killing 2 adds of the same color last
yea, i take 2, but not without a CD
I can do 2 without a CD if I'm careful, or just call an external
no reason to take more than the 2 max
with DS
3 I can do with LS Wall and a strong IP but sometimes I fall over
4th I've never seen
I never realised it wasn't blockable just assumed it was, wondering why I couldn't take 2 with 88% redux
there's only 6 total between each add phase
Then out I'm just a moron lol
That's good.
Now prot pally gloats he can take 5 on mythic to get me back for argus scythe gloating
Wouldn't shock me
Paladins are unkillable with SoTR up.
But are made of wet paper without it
Yeah
Ill take a look
Uhm yeah
That prot paladin isnt really using the optimal talents
Your cotank should probably head over to HoW and get his basics down for prot paladin
It seems like its mostly bad play on his part thats making you rip threat
Gotcha thanks for the heads up I'll try and be nice about it and point him in that direction.
๐
Just annoying having to hold off on using battle shout and such to let him establish agro....then worry about catching up after popping it
hey boys! ill be tanking mythic vari tonight. Any sugestions? (tried it last night, i exploded a lot)
Don't let your health reach 0
Pants make it retard easy
Just feels like the shadow slash dosent come out all the time when hes at 100 energy, and sometimes i get clapped, even with ds and sr up
i also have 9 mill hp, i think im a tad squishy for this
You using DBM or bigwigs to track shadowslash?
Yeah he hits hard
Just don't press SR if he is casting the pools before the strike
That's why
He only does that if hes casting other stuff
He has to cast the pools or necrotic
Bigwigs adjusts the timers for when he does that
yeah just feels like it can get delayed alot
And he waits
oh thats so nice
Yes it is delayed
Its like 5 seconds or so he delays it then
So get DBM and look at the timer
idk if DBM does it, think my cotank was complaining about that
The timer is so helpful
Will dbm reset also? or should i just use my noodel and if hes casting hold it
DBM is great
Me warrior me noodle be small
lul
If u see something before the strike, hold of on spell reflect
Warrior are pretty good on that fight though, if you're having issues playing legs is great on that fight
You get a lot more spell reflects for it
kk. im using pants, it does give me a nice safety blanket. Im just not used to prot tbh
Me fury, not as smart as 1 handed brothas
Not the easiest boss to start with
I also dont have to great of a trinket pool, somehow havent gotten an eye. Do have an unstable and dankmoon deck, also have the tank path of the titans trinket. Question. Should i drop my gloves for Ring or wrist?
ended up dying due to 5 seconds of no healing, not sure if i cant prot right or if healer just used to healing our bear
ended up swapping to em but yeah they feel useless
Was it after a slash or while you were tanking the boss?
You had SB up during that time?
Deff, I try to pool all my rage while im not tanking
then go nuts with it and put up a huge i[
Don't sit on it
Yeah thats fine
Always good to have emergency rage incase things go south
I have a question regarding the leggo and trinket choices for M Argus. I see a lot of first kills using TWF. Most of them didn't seem to be running 6 pc that I could tell. Was the cd reduction on SW that important?
Depending on strat maybe
Depends on your role too
I wouldnt say 6pc is worth it at all
You need the raw EHP to take scythes comfortably
(on argus)
I def feel my t21 pieces now outweigh my t20. It looks like I'll be the 2nd tank (I think that makes sense?) Haven't actually got to pull it tonight due to some emergency call offs.
You soaking orbs in p3?
Damn it some have all the luck
haha, it was an achievement one
glory of the thundering raider
throne of thunder meta
can you block the argus scythe sweep?
ty
was there any warrior changes this update i feel like im getting one shot more and more?
if ur 1 shot just means your not havin mitigation up
Hey opinions is riftworld codex anygood?
Decent for high aoe in keys but otherwise, no
Thanks
Does it help to pop spellreflect when the raid is stacked for shaman's spirit link totem?
Probably nothing huge.
Guys, looking for some prot warrior M+ gods that push high keys regularly, is there any youtube channel where I can watch and learn? ๐
Not that i know about
Why legs
No particular reason, just what I had equipped at the time
Although to be fair my non-lego legs aren't fantastic
I mean, what lego's would you normally use?
Yeah, fair
Legs can help for double SR charge for problem times, otherwise dps legos
I did it with legs and boots
its like our 12th rekill though so DPS didnt matter
if ur progressing it u might wnat dps legendaries to push dmg
does anyone feel they messed with mythic+ Xavius?
its a pretty lame fight ye
he did say M+. Just lotta randomness that can fuck you over
as a tank u shouldnt have to worry about much
Ya just, like more one-shot than tyrannical
Or reflect
yup
It's a nonissue for tanks and everyone else has cooldowns
^
Only issue is the 50% burst, which is covered
always make sure ur not moving he boss over the falling shit
I tend to charge everyone with safe guard. But it just felt weird this week.
he gets a dmg % increase
Sure it gets to a point where it scales too hard to survive like Tyr hyrja
when he gets hit by them
it was a 22, we timed it but all 3 b resses were used.
I was just like wtf are my dps dumb tonight?
well depending on ur setup
if you get targetting by 2 abilities back to back you can be screwed
prey on the weak
based on your class
that's actually why prot isn't bad at all for this fight, since you can safeguard (almost?) everything
(modulo the fear)
lul safeguard the fear guy
oof
that's a style
but ye once you get really up there with the keys, xavius feels like hyrja
I did it once, the elem survived, and i died instead :D (but i had the fear)
just flattens your dps
use cds
Eh boys, anyone of you know the name of the addon at that time stamp?

Opie
is getting 100% mastery set for tanking argus worth it if it means the only set bonus I get to keep is 2set T21 and only mastery stat stick trinkets?
mythic ofc
do you ever use prot artifact in mythic+?
or just forget about it and remove from your bars
well it gives ur healer 3sek extra freetime when its all about phydmg. - using it quite frequently on fortified weeks
@shut summit what nameplates addon do you use? Just watched your mAggramar kill and really like how you have it set up.
what category can you check in details! to see how effective safeguard is in a dungeon?
๐
Idk if there's one in details
i've looked at absorbs and others, not really sure how safeguard prevents damage
Would prolly need logs
that'd make sense, i'll check next time
@unborn island tidyplates
it's indeed shown in the damage taken. But i don't know if you can effectively see how much you take, since you mitigate some of them.
not even sure that you'd see that in the logs
Que up some napkin math
hello
Good morning
hey guys, is there any way to see how much eonar energy was lost from killing adds when the life force happens?
it's wrecking our reclears
i have a 960 iron relic giving armour trait i looted a 980 one off portal keeper which gives last stand HP trait... is the armour trait better off the 960 or the 6ilvl of the arti wep that the 980 gives me better ?
the NLC off the 980 gives me dragon murderous intent / sercure in the light then shatter bones 1 bastion of the aspects 2 Dragon 3
and the 960?
Dark sorrow / infusion 1 will to surv 2 rage of the fallen 3 leaping
980 with MI and bastion is better signficantly
Definitely
ok thanks for the help ๐
anyone know how the rage.deficit variable is defined in simc?
the protection warrior APL is looking for rage.deficit>=40 - does that mean you're at 40 rage? or 40 rage from capping?
how good is a 955 cradle of anguish for dps in prot spec
pretty strong
neat
just an overbudget haste stick, if you are dropping the stacks often it isnt so great
@chilly hemlock you know about rage.deficit?
๐
๐
idk if this was in the guide
but in single target should you only revenge on procs
or just use it after devastate if you have rage
devastator auto
<resourcename>.deficit returns the difference between your current amount of that resource and the max
Np, he knows way more about simc than I do
@smoky canopy If you want to go all out defensive then sure, dont use revenge outside of procs
Often theres no need to, if you're on full IP and close to rage capping you might as well use revenge as well for more SS resets
cool
Very rarely do you need to go full defensive though
Can someone answer me a question about Mythic Vari
There is a discussion amongst my officer core
why to place the markers at 8 yards and have our warrior jump out instead of just placing the markers at 10 yards
right now we are just placing the markers at 8 yards, having the 2 afflicted players run over with our warriors tank and then as he gets both of theri stacks they run back to him and the back to the raid
then as the adds spawns our warrior jumps out and then back in
there have been of course issues
That seems like a needless complication
can u expand on that?
I have 2 officers that just want to place the makers at 10 yards
You can just run out with the guys that have the debuff and stand between them like normal
Leaping feel like its just going to trigger some extra miseries and bound to be more mistakes
that has been our issue
it seems overly complicated
and no one really has had an answer as to why not just place the markers at 10 yards
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Hullo~ I'm sure this has come up before but I cannot find the answer: I just boosted a second warrior and have tried to get the prot hidden artifact skin. I've heard the roar, and the macro says the shield should be there... but I cannot for the life of myself find it. Do I need to like... have finished the event in the cave before I can actually find it or something?
It should be in one of the gold piles.
Yeah I've flown through like.. 10 times. And I've found it on my other war, but no luck
Oh well. Thanks โค
Never heard of anyone not finding it once they get the roar ๐ค
@feral abyss you from gorefiend?
I am!
ohai! ๐
I'm not super worried about my predicament because I HAVE It on my main war.. .but poor alt war has to suffer with the scrubshield
I have scrubshield.. FeelsBadMan
Right? I've been spoiled by Goodshield
I haven't been able to taste that goodnes yet
You will! I can feel it!
You will hear the roar! And it'll spawn clipped under the world like it does for me or something lol
btw you don't want the markers at 10 yrds, you just want the opposing markers >10 yrds apart so you dont trade teh debuff with each other. If you place each 10 apart then you risk spawning 3 adds in the back, regularly.
would y'all reccomend 955 cradle or 930 glacial aegis on ahc
A 955 Cradle would be sweet.
noob tank question...does the lvl 30 talent Inspring Presence heal you also, or just party members?
np
Yea, IV is the only one that affects us if solo. Safeguard is BiS for 5-man content though. Ins Pres for raids.
hell, if 40 man raiding was still a thing, Ins Pres would prob make us regularly the top heals
Not sure I agree on safeguard while leveling though.
he's saying safeguard for 5-man content
aka mythic+ dungeons
IV for leveling, yes
it's not a caveat lol
i level wit questing
i mean, any 5-man content, but in reality M+ is the only thing where you'd see the real benefit to SG
Yea, IV is the only one that affects us if solo. Safeguard is BiS for 5-man content though.
so leveling isnt 5 man for me
correct. leveling != 5-man
i prefer to quest level. instance leveling is boring AF
and mythic+ is an example of 5-man content. hence the "aka" ๐
^
same
but, i did say 5 man, not specifically anything
although 5 man became better wit scaling
i actually learned my dk wit it
instead of leveling to 110 and then guides
I think I'd rather have IV for non-mythic stuff... Especially leveling, too many healers asleep at the wheel. But that's me. :)
when you have a healer, once you have IP, you'll find more group benefit from SG than IV, esp since you'll still get VR procs anyways
@lapis topaz that's literally what we're all saying
OK, sorry, I'ma shut up now
well encoded is just accounting for dungeon leveling shenanigans that happen too often
so he's not wrong, just different scenario he's accounting for
instances became somewhat better wit scaling changes
but still not as useful for SG as m+
yea, well, max level you need healing you go bracers, done
[epic]
its the way u get them
not so much the items themselves
although something cud be said for that too
gating 3 good ones for 90% of specs behijnd garbage
btw im in inm hc pug
8 healers
i'd just be happy if warriors had 2 dps legos for tanking
imonar pug*
better safe than sorry
i love that the knockback from the green mines is proportionate to the speed you hit them
felrush?
had a DH hit one at the end of the bridge and fly backwards across the entire bridge
was during prog on M Imonar, was hilarious to see superman in the background of a stream
do other classes other than dk and warr have cdr
i love red thirst
thinking of leveling 4th tank, bear has been abandoned
Havoc does on meta
with shoulders
but yea, i love the way AM makes us play
you can really feel if you're doing something right
also that bit of a rush when you have like 15 sec left on a CD and an ability is coming in in like 7 seconds and you need it
then DS comes up and you get insta 6 sec off all CDs
๐
i love that play
trying to line shit up, RIP
combine current AM with vengeance from MoP and i'd be in heaven
would do like 6m dps on a fight like imonar...
would also be broken with how IP works since our IP cap would be like 6x what it is now
we'd basically never die
would be fun though, it's clear why it prob should never happen, but fun nonetheless
i do that on mythic all the time rofl
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
dh wasnt a tank
so he ran tru the whole thing
NOW I SUED DEATH GATE AND PULLED AND LEFT
INSTYLE
caps
I cannot recall the name of the trinket but it will interrupt the mob/boss when hit. I got a 960 version of it and was getting upset for people interrupting him before all were across...
ember of nullification?
Thats it!
^
that trinket fucked with me on the mage tower, inquisitor kept slowly creeping in on top of velen and took me ages to figure out why
Lots of Str/Vers with Leech...
how hard is it for people to not be completely useless and incompetent
i will quote the late great George Carlin
think of how stupid the average person is
and know that half the people out there are more stupid than them
I love that quote
live reaction
it's accurate, plus people so often find themselves around like minded individuals, often of similar intelligence too, so they dont really realize how bad (or good in cases) other people are.
it gets difficult to work with people many IQ points apart
Hive Mind, congregation of try-hards and fails.
average wow player according to blizzard
people who are "less intelligent" view normal behavior from "more intelligent" people as stuck up, and vice versa "more intelligent" people see the "less intelligent" as being purposefully ignorant.
even though neither is being anything but themselves
there's a form of workplace bias, i forget what it's called where this happens very often in the real world
and still puttign all asleep
you have to realize that not everyone has been on that boss that long
also, it's only been 4.5 months iirc
lol
most people dont play raids right
i cant imagine, all i see are 965+
but that might be the thing u jsut talked about
well yea, something is simple for you
but that doesnt mean it's actually a simple thing
sounds ridiculous
but the broad scope of wow means all sorts play, and many arent great at gaming, plain and simple, it's a means to enjoy time spent in a game
no, but noticing you have it in the first place can be
or knowing what the thing does can be
doesnt even vanilla ui say dspel me
that's DBM afaik
worth dropping refractive shell shatter the bones relic for a 4ilvl lower one with light speed and bastion of the aspects?
and if you're in a crowd, you dont always know it's your toon that said it
defensively yes
aite wasnt sure on the ilvl bits for prot since guides doesnt say anything about it
yea, defensively, like Levko said, 100% worth
StB was great before t21 2p
nothing touches Bastion
๐ญ
lol
maybe i find it easy because i prepared be4 raid comes out, do it every week etc
isupposed in EN, when i raided first time i was scared af to tank
and of mechanics, in particular dragons, on the swap mechanic i was going panic mode
yea, once it becomes second nature you dont even realize you're doing something complicated
i dont even think on hounds, it's easy now, but a super common question here as to why someone is dying
i was told that warriors are one of the more difficult tanks to play right now, and found it hard to believe, i mean i dont play any others so i have to take these people at their word, but it's all i know so it never really felt that complicated.
it's just perspective
I would agree with that, a bad war is much easier to spot than a bad monk or dk
easier
since other classes like wont get one shot
save maybe pallies
when they forget to do somethin
but i hear we're in the same boat, more or less
only we have less truly oh shit CDs
NOT AFTER IP REMOVAL
tru, I think the new tier helps with that
BADUMTSSS
SW and bubble and stuff
makes them have more block when they dont have sotr up
yea
so they arent as weak with no buttons pressed
just always have it on during trash pulls correct
mhm
garothi is not a boss
its a target dummy
for tanks at least
no clue what dps or healers do
ye but 960 tanks died
to big soak
on kj
lots prob dont realize that it's physical
you're kidding yourself if you think people read that
people dont even read tooltips
I'd consider myself a good player and i only do this for 2 reasons: to not look like an idiot when i explain a fight, or to know why i just got deleted
tons of people just dont even use it at all, apart from the TLDR portion and the loot tables
i do it
be4 i pull boss first time in my life
to prevent "whyd SR not work on armageddon reeeeeeeeeee "
or am i weird
was fortunate to get archimonde trink for that fight made heroic kj almost trivial, just had tanks soak everything pre aerial phase
not weird, i'd just venture to say you're in the minority
its kinda funny when people trying to be like read the things man
aaand wipe on vari
tank moved away randomly
how are people
this stupid
how hard is it
not to move
he was doing the retarded left/right jerking
so he moved outa 8 yards
nothing like being stuck at work on last raid day of the wk....
tell him to read dungeon journal levko that should help him
uhu
i don't get people that think they need to constantly strafe back and forth
Good for practice when hittign a target dummy
Practicing hitting a target dummy while moving is good for you
those are not target dummies
vari is
@languid rose on mythic its a challange
messing that up will probably wipe the raid
Leggo pants I assume they good for Argus and Veri only? Possibly coven as well? Instead of trinket
i don't think lev is pugging mythic vari?
Mythic pugs hmm. I need to look for a new guild or pay for a imonar -> argus clear just so I can get cutting edge for once. Ever since H Deathwing never made it to end of expac raid. Just no time now that guild died with having a new puppy.
/giphy
MT
new puppy killed entire guild
@sick sentinel legs aren't necessary if you're main tank on Argus, and doable without on vari
@languid rose Not quite...people just got burnt out...kinda 1-2 day casual guild. BUT shes quite the puppy...dont wanna clog up prot discord with pup pictures. Red Merle mini aussie; I have a blue merle mini aussie thats almost 3. Auss squad
Now I got gold burning in my pocket and will pay for a argus kill but be nice to see 11/11 kills...just hard to devote time progressing with someone and trying to do this puppy training phase
@merry cave I got lots of gold...12 alts all were doing gold missions...TSM AH resets...I keep spending it on T3 from BMAH just waiting for someone to price me out...not like I cant tank it either at 974 ilvl and other 6 tanks are 960-970 ilvl
have at least 3.3 m IP it seems
