Well
Was thinking about aggaramars stride for a little speed boost but resisting the temptation
I think it's fun to play tbh. Just hoping i don't mess up too badly but live and learn :)
In a week or two you'll just say "damn those groups are bad"
:p
It's not that hard, don't worry
Enjoy
for M+ do you prefer shockwave or warbringer?
can you spell reflect ymirons dark slash in mos?
k nice to know had a bit of strugle to survive in +19 and tyrannical
Is the darkmoon deck still kinda relevant for warrior ? (high MM+, i don't raid)
Pretty much need leggo legs for ymiron
when would you need the leggo legs for him? 20+, or?
18+, makes him trivial
22+ you have to think a lot more of CD rotation even with legs
at least in fortified
guess it'll be a bit lower for tyra
You need legs to reflect every hit and the amount of damage you reflect is greater than the damage you can bring with other legos
Any boss where I recommend legs in the spreadsheet are for that reason
@arctic sedge
(You can't reflect everyone of them)
Sure, the timing gets off the longer the fight
But legs guarantees a majority of them
Of course, i just wanted to be precise :3
which Dog trinket variant would be better for Argus Mythic? the armor one or the stam one?
armor is nice if ur maintanking
but if you care about defensiveness you wouldn't use the dog trinket anyways
I like fire eye because it helps me get better parses
And the extra armor is nice
Ideal @hasty sapphire u would be using Diima Trinket or Aggramar Trinket
Use the dog trinket in armor mode for the most part
If you wanna minmax you can change to Stam/vers when you wanna soak soulbursts in p2 but it’s not a big deal
Will do. Thank you
Is the darkmoon deck still kinda relevant for warrior ? (high MM+, i don't raid)
Depends more on the options you have
It itself hasn't been nerfed so the value hasn't gone down for consistent armor mitigation but at a certain point others just become better
Thank you, i'll see if i end up using it
Hey guys. Finally we reached Argus M and we plan to begin our progress on next friday. Which leg combo is best por progression?
Gloves/bracers/belt and only legs if you're not main tank collecting orbs
It's mostly about cd management than consistent damage, imo gloves/belt have more value than bracers but still useful
either you survive or get destroyed lol
Pretty much, it's very bursty rather than consistent
well I had The Walls Fell in mind, maybe it's not necessary
Rarely do you need to use SW on CD, i used it for prog as a safeguard but stopped after
My 7 kills
yeah you also dropped Writhing.
Yeah, i used it because it had avoidance
Scythe in P1 is weird timing-wise and gets interrupted by a number of different abilities in weird ways that will take some time to learn. Legs help cover that with the extra SB
More reliable timer in P2 and P3 is pretty much the exact same every time.
btw I'm worried about avoidance. Currently I have 0 avoidance on my warrior, but some of my other tank alts got some lol
do you guys do the argus weekly quests every weejk
yeup, only cristal farm i do, in hope to get some trinket that don't exist otherwise
it's pretty quick, but there's no need to do it anyway
I don't do it on my geared toons, sincec I got the legendaries and stuff already anyways
man its not lookin hopeful for BFA prot 😦
Changes are coming.
blizz said that the yarent done with frostdk/uhdk/ and prot war
@lyric jackal prolly best to hold off on judgments till then
sims works for prot warr now?
boi
Think that the horn will be great for short windows of burst anyway (curator..)
dont play warr that much so didnt know
Exactly what the pins are for 😉

ive been here for like 9 months and i still dont know what the skyhold emote is supposed to mean

On mobile skyhold constantly went offline and showed the server offline icon in it's place

#rip Just got declined into a Mythic raiding guild, done 4 guilds . I’ stuck at 5/11. So feel like im done raiding till bfa
They already had their tank and stopped recruiting 😦
All the mythic guild I went into stopped raiding
I wanted a 9 or 10/11, guess I wont get it
you will have a hard time getting into 10/11 with only 5/11 im afraid
and prot warrior*
it's not impossible, we're 9/11 and some of our better performers came on recently at like 2/11
tell that to 90% of people
I’m mean I’m really really good as prot and I’m not a dumbshit, but its mainly finding a mythic guild that still raid
i think it's being a tank that makes it hardest
^
far easier to find a guild as a dps
you will have a hard time finding a guild ahead of your prog willing to take you
there's plenty of burn-out you can take advantage of too. especially this late in the tier people just vanish from the roster
i mean imo if a dps comes to me with great heroic logs, maybe like 3/11, and a good attitude, i'd be like sure let's trial
not the same story for a tank
yeah not for tank
Sadly
tank is very difficult
especially since plenty of dps has a passable tank offspec
yeah its easy, but most guilds that are still progging or still raiding have the tank slots already locked in
we have dps rotate in as tank sometimes when one of the main tanks has to be out and have very little problem with it
it depends entirely on well you can illustrate that you're willing and able to quickly pick up the strats they are used to so that you can seamlessly fill in for their previous tank
Worst thing is that some guild do bad strats
Like clearing mines on p2 imonar, thats like really not necessary
if those bad strats kill teh boss though, you gotta do it
sure, but it's not a bad strat
and it works for some guilds
i still do it
i still do it in full dps gear and parse well
Put so much strain on healers, they kept going oom
thing is, they killed it that way, and their raiders are used to it, so you have to be able to do that
the altnernative was dps stacking and moving properly
it just wasn't happening for us
if it's taxing healers that badly, then the tanks are doing something wrong
how many healers
4
hell we use 6
Was prob that then
we used 6 for our first couple kills, yea
less heals also means potential dispel issues while crossing the bridge too
We didn’t get a kill
first kill i'd 100% recommend 6
yea, minimum 5
yeah
Yeah, might’ve done it, but there was too many mistakes ‘bout everywhere.
people gotta dodge orbs and move out with the lasers, get out with sleeps.. there's a lot to do
https://www.dvsgaming.org/world-of-warcraft-warrior-tanking-guide/ hope this was meant as a joke
seems legit to me
Nice build
ive seen that build in game before
The talent given by level 45 and 75 are personal preference, as all of them are self-help.

🤔
tank health is personal preference
is this good at all?
No
noo
No
would 1 vers 1 mast stat stick be better than 2 vers sticks or and eye of command?
are they all equal ilvl
missing level of the trinkets you're talking about
id use the 925 + 915 mastery stick
straight from that website... Survival tank: choice of anger management, or heavy repercussions. Damage tank: Ravager
they have into the fray 2
How does a 915 arcano compare agains a 945 Diima for M+ as prot?
It doesn't, diimas is much better
Diima and conviction for M+?
honestly, unless your stat stick is huge, at this point there are a lot of better alternatives
its a 915, but diimas is very stronk for trash at least, just not sure about conviction for M+
conviction is solid just for the huge str it has
Any thoughts on majordomo dinner bell, in 955 ilvl? Over 5k stam, with almost 8k secondary stat on demand
If you need the stam it's fine, otherwise unnecessary
Don't know, personnaly prefer the HoV Horn for a burst
Have to mess around alittle, been playing too much DK on M+ lately thought it was necrotic this week, just saw it wasnt
oh btw, i got a 985 tier chest last night, finally got something over 970 after my Diima's
hit that phat 976 equipped
Nice
Neat
they'll proc some days, don't worry :)
we got a 965 diima's with avoidance to drop last night
thyme gets all the things, not sure why but he does
i have a 975 and the other tank has a 965, so i just let her have it since i have 3x MoS and don't care that much about the avoidance atm
Karma for his help
if you played with him, youd rethink that
Hmmm
981.3 ffs
Look who's talking
im 978 MAX equipped
we only have like 6 paladins
and had 3 DKs
and Had 3 warriors other than me
meanwhile zeph is like "when do i get nice things"
Oh someone else discovered the "joy" of dvsgaming I see 😂
Still fuck my haste though
fuck your gear
still cant believe u dont have a better trinket
your mastery isnt even great, wtf, oodles of vers though
Lol yeah
how do u not have a 960 dogs trinket lol
Didn't realized it simmed so well till relatively recently
And the last one to drop was a while ago and i passed it up
indeed, that' s not much hast
your rings are really high versa mastery
full STR gear and still having really high versa and mastery is good
something about the verse/mast argus ring, we get all of them TF'd in our raid
%15 versa without and stat stick is crazy imo
i have high mastery, and decent haste
woaw
RNJesus saves me sometimes when i dont have SB up and foe breaker meets my face
Lol
you just did meme build without wanting it
that and sometimes when i space out in P1 argus i get 3 scythe hits and dont even notice
yea my meme build has 102% mastery atm
no T19
thyme, explain to me why i dont have to leave until 430 today? then i wont get home till after midnight
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Btw, how do you get all the stats? They just pop dynamicly for me
my NLC says out of date on raidbots, i havent changed a relic in easily 5 wks +
Dejacharacterstats
Addon then?
Yeah
Great, thank you
Also, yeah i definitely could use more haste https://i.imgur.com/StPqpah.png
But still sims higher than 935 haste stick ¯_(ツ)_/¯
btw are we sure about pantheon tank trinket having more value for dps then amanthuls
lol
5% health nerf turned out to be a buff to the boss
Same
in ABT aman is better, but barely, outside of raids, Agg's is better Roac
it's like a 20k difference i think
@timid jay
can someone look over our logs and tell me how are prot war can improve?
Last night
link we can check i guess
shudders
@undone sun
Quick question. Does spell reflect do anything to argus scythe? It's physical damage so I'm presuming not.
Does not
k thanks
Talent off of ITF @lime silo
tell him not to use into the fray
@undone sun
and block melee attacks more only %48 blocked isnt high
there's moments when various raid aoe goes off when he's about to scythe, you'll learn them @robust lance and using SR will keep you with more IP left so it's still good to use here and there
you guys struggling when you don't lust P1?
Yeah okay, these logs were posted yesterday and i already gave advice
Should definitely start out talenting off of into the fray and into Booming Voice
Maybe better trinket options, fabricator is quite bad for prot
General rotational issues as well, not just t21 2pc but just lots of down time
ideally with 2pc you have these Shield slam burst windows where you press nothing else(that's on the GCD) other than Shield slam to generate rage and do loads of damage, obviously you also don't want to rage cap so you'll be pressing Ignore pain just about as often as possible as well.
Lot of wasted rage too, that can be a result of not doing the rotation properly as well, not pressing IP and/or revenge enough
Block uptime is more than acceptable so that's not an issue so it seems like it's rotational and CD management issues @wicked snow
Alright, doesn't change that they're blockable nor melees @ember arrow
and tell him to delete that macro he use
with shout battlecry and reflect
the fuck is that macro
make him keep reflect up for high magic damage he will take
i didnt know my guild already asked you guys
shout + bc ok, but Reflect no
sorry about that
also, 5 of those 12 deaths of his were to army or darkness, completely avoidable
like fiery strike after 3rd strike he can easily mitigate it with reflect
it's ok @lime silo at least people are looking to improve
he is using blocks so fast so its also bad its making him vulnerable for melee
even tho coven is not a fight where melee will hurt you alot but he can also improve on that
because aggramar melee hurts
honestly, for me, it's his reach that hurts more than his melee
yeah but when you have highest block uptime you take the damage less
maybe im just retarded when not tanking, and mildly enlightened when actively tanking
at least for block-wise aggra is more important then coven
What is this.... not tanking aggramar
agreed
and yea, coven is way more on SR usage and positioning than anything else imo
and making sure to build rage for IP
also how big is the nerf for aggramar we are progressing on it even tho tank damage isnt nerfed overall fight is nerfed
Fight is pretty much a joke noe
lol
Indeed
dont have to be precise with which adds grip in
we progressed around 3 days already saw all intermissions
dont have to worry if 1-2 ppl arent in the rend
well that whole fight is the last phase, first 2 and intermissions arent hard
intermissions just a dps check
and with 5% less HP, last phase feels.... less hectic?
since adding 5% to P2 is basically target dummy time at that moment
and buffer room for guilds with really high dps i'd imagine
Yeah, looks fun https://gfycat.com/AcademicScrawnyHoverfly
Lol
It was during technique as well
🤔
😓
Perfectly executed 💩
lol
😦
how to deal with first boss in MoS as prot warrior in semi-high mythic+ (like 15+)?
spell reflect
one of his abilities, cant remember which hits like a truck
if u have pants u reflect almost all of em
can only spell reflect one and then the next one comes before its up again and hits for like 8 mil
shield wall
hmm fair just its difficult with this tyrannical affix
just keep juggling cds
yeah if you dont have pants legendary then you can always use other defensives and ask externals
call for externals when your out
without the legs you can mitigate 1 with SR, 1 with SW, and 1 with DS + LS
but with pants you get another charge of SR making it not bad at all
with AM you should have shield wall back up early
hmm fair enough
can also have a pet taunt eat it
looks as if just getting leggo legs just nullifies the fight tho
heavy repercussions vs anger management with 2 set?
AM
if below 30% haste too?
yes
yes,
you build a lot of rage with the 2 set
dumping it constantly with AM makes it extremely strong
kk gotcha
🤔
Gonna have to see what replacement to IP there is
LUL
Also I learned everything about prot from you
anyone have high geared alts that aren't prot warrior? - if so how does warrior rate as a tank when comparing?
ease of tanking, do you feel like you can be oneshot easily.. as with prot warr i feel like its quite easy to be oneshot sometimes
if u know what thigns do and use appropriate stuff, u wont be below 90%
if u dont know tacs it can happen
but ye, its possible to get oneshot, only in those cases. on dk u use purgatory if ur afraid of oneshots so that doesnt really happen
bear cant really be oneshot at all unless its some insane magic dmg and u forget to use 66% DR
so im guessing dk and druid are the best tank classes just now?
and warrior not so much
depends what ur lookin for, with knowledge of mechanics u wont be below 90% hp
dk anc bears can be spiky
bears dont have good self heal, at least not comparative to wrists warrior or dk
for raiding, it doesnt matter, but for m+ dk has best utility by far
ifu could give example what oneshots u
the answer is probably "use SB" 80% of time
basically
the skill floor for warriors and paladins is higher than the other 4
punishingly so
bears skill ceiling is same height as dog turds 😛
but that doesnt make us bad, you just have to plan ahead rather than react
well for example, i havent played the SoT dungeon enough to know what the enemy spells do, but the adds at the start of that dungeon on like M+15 seemed to destroy me even with all my defensives popped
thats the mistake
i did say skill floor though Lev
"i havent played the SoT dungeon enough to know what the enemy spells do"
All tanks have that problem there
thats step 1 of gettign oneshot on prot war
you have to use what you have
u can reflect the blasts on first adds for exdaample
meanwhile, you time stuns and spell reflect well and we may be the best for that trash pull specifically
take 0 dmg, and do tons while debuffing enemies
even small pull though i would presume that with everything popped there isn't much else i can do to survive
even if i don't know the enemy abilities
use spell reflect
depends what u use
and you take no dmg
but like, that's knowledge of the dungeons, you cant yolo them all
hmm i need to get those legendary leggings
i do have hard time believing u got oneshot wit all cds
on small trashpull on tyranical
those mobs hit hard and put a stacking debuff up that increases your dmg taken
i can tank ridiculous stuff wit all cds up
teeming with those mobs
well im 947 so im not massively geared
and you may die still, since if you pull extra you get the heal reduction debuff as well
but ye, use reflect, stun otherwise, use SW/LS liberally
whats ur talent setup aidan?
warbringer, inspiring presence, renewed fury, bounding stride, devastator, booming voice, AM
I've got all 6 tanks at 965+. I only raid mythic on the warrior. The rest do heroic + weekly 15-20s. They all handle things a bit differently.
good no indom or HR
When I'm not on the warrior, the first thing I miss is spell reflect.
hmm i should probably start using it a lot more then
yeah
wish we could have indomitable and devastator at the same time
i'd rather have AM and HR together
^
indom really does very little if you have block up when you need it
^
20% bonus hp means nothing if ur 90% all the time
yeah but i like seeing a big health number xD
and with AM and HR i could have less dmg taken while also doing about 15% more dps
yea but how many of those other tanks have an absorb nearly always up to boost their EHP
and, doesnt require healers to top back off
i hope not, i see some druid with like 13.5m hp
i can get up to around 8m IP in raid with some procs
whereas i have 7.8m
my 9.9m hp plus that 8m IP is 17.9m EHP
HP and EHP are different
Prot warriors, especially using devastator, are EHP tanks
how do you get it that high, i can't seem to get mine above 5m
5 million is ur hp though
my average cap is around 7m
well, assuming IP is up, but yea
warrior at 100% without IP is at 60%
you won't always have it, but that's when using CDs and SB properly comes into place
what ilvl are you both?
969
^
at 985 i could die to that SoT trash if i didnt know the place
yeah im not im just intrigued
as could nearly any tank
yea, i was just saying, since plenty think it's mostly gear
jesus
and that's nothing special, but it's not bad, i actually like the place because it shows when you get familiar with it
fair enough, i've only done it once so should probably start on a lower key
ye that would be wise
or watch soem guides
dont forget the pins, especially reflectable sheet
Spell Reflection/Blockable Damage Sheet: https://goo.gl/xtfCfX
also any "bolt" spell on adds is also reflectable, like the trash in seat
kk
another fun example is this. although others beat it, i got it here 😛
how do you block that much?
depends
%88 if you have 7/7 bastion relic
if i go into my character panel it says i block 33% of damage with a block
ehm i dont think i have any
ohhh
sorry
i've got 4 i believe
and critblocks block double the amount of dmg u block wit normal block
critblock chance is equal to mastery%
so when u blocked the 50 mill there, did you tank it 2x in a row?
i see
artifact is basically used to either fill gaps in SB, or to block blockable abilities
its either meh
or extremely strong
just wondering if anybody is still using 2/4p t20 with 2p t21, or is everyone now just only using 2p t21
and goin in favor of higher ilvl for other pieces
yeah of course
4p is pty good defensively but i wudnt go out of my way to equip it
yeah i only use 4p t20 for mythic imonar, every other fight i go 2p t20 + 2p t21
hummm, i'll give that a try
so if i go that route then there's really no point in taking warlord's challenge
its pty good for skittish, but we do enough dps to generally not need it
that talent is personal choice anyway
talent row**
the speed up on taunt can be handy too
move bosses/adds faster
true
spam taunt 4 melee adds and they run at +50% speed to u
Starting proggressions on mythic argus. Any special legos particularly good, or just the usual?
Use legs for safety blanket if ur shit like me :)
They also help with ball soaking in P3
But not rly required
Just b rdy for some scythe fuckery in P1 while u learn the weird timings.
If youre ball soaker for p3 the definitely legs
Otherwise its pretty much the basics just
Did the 5% nerf change that fight a lot? We aren't quite there yet
It made P1 dps check more consistent for us and gives more room for error in first 2 phases
Some guilds are now also apparently able to hold hero until P3 and just use it to push there.
Can someone tell me what to type to instantly pick up the adds on aggramar and Argus?
What
How do you instantly pick up the adds on p3 Argus before they melee other people
Using a /target command yes?
Personally I dont
My cotank generally wants the sword dude so he tells me to taunt the dagger guy
I just keep my camera so I can see all the adds and when they grow big I find the dagger guy and leap + taunt
So how do you instantly pick him up? You don’t click him right?
I just be lazy and stand in the middle heroic throwing like a champion
Then watch timer for spawn and just not be slow
I’m having a hard time when they switch
They don't hit for a few seconds
I can’t find them
Until someone di es
Dies
And I get yelled at
For not picking it up fast enough
Zoom out to max? Watch your timer so your ready a few seconds early
Dont think any target macros work since they have the same name iirc
Maybe your reaction times are just a bit slow.
And you'll just have to live with a death
Having 1 or 2 deaths there isnt a big deal anyway since you're all dying soon anyway
Sucks sure, but they cant win em all
They get big like 1-2 seconds before they become active
Max zoom and timer watch are the only real hints though, there's no big tricks to it or cheesy ways. Just gotta be ready for it and taunt/charge asap
Just have to pay attention
We normally stack them anyway so 3-4 at least are dead before second wave so not many options left
I’ve only done the fight on normal, but I think it was the Darkmech video guide that said that threat transfers, so you can try to throw at as many as possible and hope you get some threat on the right ones? 🤷♂️
Those sweet sweet torment the weak proxs from throw axe 😍
YEah thats possible Encoded
Its just a buff they get
So any threat you had on them still applies
I usually stand onto the melee add, and heroic leap taunt midair the add I wanna grab., then intervene back to stack on melee add
@sage sphinx
is there a dps guide for prot?
3rd tanking argus since ours is out and we are mainly doing p1 still
Not a specific guide for dps
Spending most of your rage into revenges and making sure you have SB up for BC is pretty much it
Outside of the standard rotation
30%
30% base 60% with HR
3rd tanking argus in P1 means you do nothing
I've seen some strange p1 strats
i did 980k, is that decent
i wasnt using sb during bc
i've left P1 at 1.7
Thats with tanking the boss though, some extra RFDT
yep
And parry haste 😏
but harder to maintain buffs 😉
its why i use bounding stride for one
he can scythe, then i leap into raid for orb, then movement speed right back super speedy
yea
should i try to keep up sb at all time just for SS dmg?
get fucked though if idiots put haste vers behind the other one...
Thats MT worries though, not 3rd tank
or just mainly in bc
Mostly for BC
BC prio
But keeping it not capped is also a dps increase
but up as often as you can if not tanking
Just make sure you have it up for BC if you're aiming for damage
Having a free GCD when you use BC and all that normal jazz as well
Its a bit of a balance act, depends a bit on your haste and how lucky you are with SS resets
Blood Relic: 950 w/ +2% armor and bastion, or 965 w/ shatter the bones (increases critical strike chance of shield block during shield block) and bastion
And the t2's?
so + 15 ilvls + shatter the bones - 2% armor
torment of the weak w/ the +2% armor and lights embrace w/ shatter the bones
before bastion, defensively ilvl > everything
well before NLC
just useless as 3rd tank RIP
yeah and shatter is useless w/ battle cry active
Overaggro?
lmao
welcome to dpsing as prot 😛
i like to take little walks mid fight to let my aggro calm down a bit
I even ripped from my BDK cotank today
Luckily it was during tortured rage cast but was a bit scary
it supposed to be hard to do that to a BDK ?
i just have to pray that ss doesnt reset to often cause i tend to gorm out and continue hitting it
It should be hard against any decent tank
i guess they were focused more on survivability and all i was told before the fight was i get to be 3rd tank so gear for dps
Fair, unless you're soaking big orbs you dont need that much survivability wise
Depends a bit on class I suppose
yeah, had to reign in some of my gearing choices when we were getting to phase 2 and i was struggling with soaking with aggramar buff
i just really like 2+2 tier
The agg trinket is amazing there
wish i had it :/
decided on the pantheon one and was trying the leggy til i got to the point where i couldnt be bothered and told them to replace me with the monk
Agg + Arch on a DK~ cheese wins the game
just seemed to be struggling too much, shame i had no avoidance, didnt seem fair to have our progression be gimped because i had to hope i didn't get the buff cause it will be a real pain, especially after watching the bear take it as if it was nothing
i just feels bad to watch no one else struggle with it apart from me, i do like how scythes are easy peasy though, yay blocking !
Torment the Weak or Refractive shell?
torment the weak
word ty
930 haste mastery wrists vs 945 crit versatility wrists?
I feel like this is likely a stupid question but just got back into playing my warrior, is there any downside to using 20 rage vs 60 rage on ignore pain? like say if I was to always use it at 20 vs pooling to use at 60 I'm getting the same value right?
Correct, IP scales linearly
ok thanks, that's what I thought but a friend was telling me that's not how it worked
@wooden lark 945
well
you'd get more value from a 60 rage one with a scales proc
but
with T21 you dont really have time to think about that
we have enough rage now where i'd consider it almost completely a passive
no
he's boring
it's all on the BDK
that's it
and heals i guess
he's heroic for us with slightly different numbers
Taking 24 stacks is fun though
Other than that nah
Could always try going for a double foe breaker
also, he does weird techniques, but takes like 5 pulls to get it
anyone having issues on argus?
likes hitting invisible ghosts/not actually in the avara buff
while u are standing in
avatar*
We didn't have any problems when we killed it a couple hours ago but i'm hearing there's starting to be problems
Jesus
Modules not spawning either
Getting the fucking coven to pop my AHR is like pulling teeth
Seems like a bunch of bosses are bugged atm
Can't die from ruiner and orbs don't pop on king
I have to go bdk alt for agg 👎 👎 👎
i wish we had the argus P3 free kill bug, that'd have ended my night well
hey u guys im new to war tanking is 35% to much haste?
No
thnx
You cannot reach the point where it'll be too much
ok im stacking haste,mastery then vers is that right?
thnx
975 vers/mastery ring or 945 mast/vers or 940 haste/mast
w/ rings, @ what point is ilvl > secondary stats
~15-20 ilevels
975 sullied seal of pantheon over 945 loop of vitriolic intent?
i mean nbd either way
do only fear ppl get modules spawn on them now?
No
@upper spoke 975 ring will be far better
Oh I didn’t get the question, yeah I’d use it over the 940 ring
Hey guys. Anyone has some juicy info on what will replace IP?(I realise noone might have any, i just thought this would be themost likely place if any). I'm trying to decide what tank to play in BFA and i really want to get back to warrior tanking. I Just hope it wont be a heal
ah just realized there was a BFA prot discussion, sorry
No one knows yet, most of the changes are and will be posted in #410902883165405214 when we get news
any tip on an easy to get trinket? just started to tank and have mostly dps gear 😃
relinquished trinket ? there's no really easy way to get any, beside farming :/
I don't understand this with the Hidden Artifact, Is it spawned on a random day or something ?
It has a chance to spawn every day
50/50 chance, either it spawns or it doesn't
enter the cave, use the macro, it if comes out false check again tomorrow
Repeat
Been trying for 5 days now :/ still no luck
I've seen it take some people months
When raiding mythic is the hc 4pc worth taking over mythic randoms?. Looking at it 291,000 extra ip doesn’t seem much when bosses hit so hard but is it actually better than it looks?
Afaik at the same ilvl
It is actually very good
It's basically an extra 150k healsper second while tanking if a boss has a 2s swing timer
@edgy mango wow I feel really bad now. I was just randomly in that cave and thought, maybe spec into prot and see if it is there (tried once months ago, never bothered to try again) it was there right then, got it in like 5 minutes :x

Hey folks,
have to replace our prot paladin at argus mythic today.
P2 we do the TankSoakAllBombs tactics. Any strong ideas how to realize as warrior? its 1 big+2 small bombs->2 small bombs->1 big+2 small.
die an honorable death on the first soak 😃
So no reason to use 4 piece on the first 4 Mythic antorus bosses correct?
Not true, entirely fight dependent
Exactly, and the first 4 Mythic antorus bosses (garothi, hounds, command and eonar) there is no need correct?
if you dont need survival then sure
i think hounds is a pretty good boss for 4p though, reasonable tank damage at some points and 100% tanking uptime
unless you waste your block when the boss channels for a year
I’m looking at the top prot Warrior parses who parsed a 99. All of them are running 2 piece and gloves belt
thats because the 4p doesn't contribute to dps
Damage parses vs, a defensive set
Also, how do you guys run Dilmas over apocalypse drive and still keep haste above 30% while using 4 piece?
I don't
30% doesn't have any significance nor does haste have an weight over trinket choices
What about the whole “30+% haste means more DPS means more rage means more survivability” argument that is beaten into us again and again on here?
So we don’t need 30% haste anymore?
never did
@sage sphinx 30% haste is completely arbitrary number, it means nothing, and was never "beaten into us" on this channel
Yo Levko wait
It was, but thats like a long time back
Was it like 7.1.5 or so?
Is that a Vulperan warrior?
Thnx
@dark junco 30% haste was needed at start of legion to have 100% SB uptime with HR, but it was by no means necessary for us
hoping some valkyr wakes up
Thanks couldn’t remember when it was
ye, it was never like "u must have 30% to be viable" like some people make it seenm
🤔
Aw
thanks Val'Kyrs for cleansing this
I only just figured out how to ban someone on mobile
Well that was the feel of it tho, whenever you posted any logs with sub 30 haste =p
🔨
And then wadner got here
MY SUMMONS WORKED
Awh, I missed something 🙁
Yeah, leaked Vulperans
🤔
Kinda furries + troll post + spam of pictures.
the holy trinity
opens warrior discord back up
Anyone doing alpha shit
O it's a balsaq
Did they leave IP out of current build or are my friends just disabled
I see
We're currently doing prayer circles and Macro is bringing orange slices for the cult sui....errr mass Ascension
I dont want to worry about it too much because prelaunch is always a mess and people cry about it regardless
Saw a few different datamined tooltips for it and was just curious
I guess this is the wrong channel to keep talking about it tho lol
So most srs ppl waiting til then to test
Yeah i saw that; looks like tanks got gutted across the board
Hopefully we can still flex DPS nuts to keep it interesting
In what order does cooldowns and absorbs come in terms of damage reduction? I know its dodge/parry -> Block -> Armor/(Vers?)
they're multiplicative IIRC, so it doesn't matter?
It's multiplicative so outside of dodge and parry it doesn't matter
Additive would be completely broken
@sharp steeple just make sure if you're calculating dr against bosses to not use the armor% in character sheet
What about absorbs, wouldn’t they subtract an amount if the damage? Like a 5m IP?
Absorbs are after DR's
Alright, thanks a bunch!
Any prot warriors with mythic experience? Have a quick question
There's loads of them, you can just ask your question(s) :)
o/
guess we scared her away
Comb your hairs fellows, damn !
maybe it was catfriends alternate disc account
na, she has mythic xp now too
And she doesn't say hey anymore, since she's a star
Does she cry, cry, cry in her lonely heart, thinking?
if there's nothing
missin in my heart, then
if I dont have any tier, I still go vengeance + heavy repercussions right? or go AM + booming voice even with shit gear?
this is for mythic+ mostly
no belt
but yea, without T21 either works
i still like BV
it's more dmg
if you really feel you need venge just put on SotB ring
so you just dont use revenge with this build unless free proc?
assuming you're going for survival
wit vengeance weaving u alternate vengeance/IP
hey i saw my name up there
i havent been paying as much attention to this discord cause im too addicted to far cry 5
your famous now
not vengeance, you said booming voice
so with booming voice build you dont use revenge unless free proc if I understand correctly
can use it for dps
aha
i use it for dmg, but yea, generally purely surv with BV you'd only use if free
or about to cap rage
kay ty
hey to get prot hidden weapon appearance do u have to do all the highmountain quests or can u just go to the cave
I think you can just go to the cave but i'm not 100% sure
oh
There is a macro you can get that tells you if you have checked for the day or not 😃
It reports to your chat window. Make sure you play with sound on as well when you enter the cave as it will give a big roar when you enter as well 😃 Plus there will be an emote
thnx man
best tanking legendaries for m+?
belt/gloves/wrists/legs
Does anyone have the google doc for all the spells you could spell reflect in antorus and perhaps all of legion? there use to be a google doc for it but apperantly it has been deleted. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L1L6-kJS_KI8T-3KbWpRmZiHLhvKu9NaVIU-SCrXs8s/preview that was the link for it and sadly my web browser just shows it as deleted link was hoping it would still have the person who made it in the description still 😦
its in pins

@sharp galleon
are stamina trinkets required for warrs? feel like my health pool is low
no
not required but are they beast?
gotchya
for us that is
honestly kind of triggering having pugs comparing my hp to other classes
i have wrists and gloves right now
ignorance on their part for sure but idk people used to 10mil + health pools talking smack
NL, last boss, worm, and 2nd boss, 1st boss mos
for example
i know what u mean, almost everyday someone asks if war hp is too low
i say no becasue we dont take thje dmg to need high hp pool and IP is our ehp
making it on par if not more than others
@storm slate
like this
ty @ember arrow i should have checked the pins 😄
ty for the discussion as well
np np, nothing in antorus is reflectable, but dont forget SR is also 50% magic dmg DR
mcpain, they compare, but u egt kicked too cuz of "low" health pool?
then it would be kinda ridiculous, i had that heppen too lol
mains a prot pally 😛 i have a alt warrior but don't play it much was looking for the link to give to a prot warrior friend who is new to tanking, wasn't sure if anything was reflectable.
in dungeons alot is
best thing ever is 3rd boss coen chaotic energy
dont need tostand inside shield
also pty much all "bolt" type spells from adds
any tips on destructor tentacle in mos? they hit hard af in higher keys
use SR when they spawn
good to know 😄 i enjoy my warrior but had mostly played fury this xpac >.< the idea of having another max lvl tank in the beginning of legion was kinda off putting. but since catching up in AP and leggos have been so easy since about 7.2 I've been able to have all 6 tank specs again.
u reflect their dot
yes it makes no sense since its physical dotbut it works and is amazng
i never seem to catch them casting it
kk thanks for the tip
u can equip legs too for extra safety, but if ur group kills them quick enough, u can reflect one every 25 sec AKA dont need legs
SR base cd is enough
yeah think part of the problem was i was tanking the destructor while the dps just killed the ones grabbing onto the boat
they must die too, but if destructor isnt killed within 30 sec
another spawns
and ur fucked
do the tentacles only cast the debuff once?
thats feelycraft from me, based on personal exp
ye
well
wait like 1 sec, when they are completely above ground
SR
@ember arrow that WA is sick
for IP
anyone know how good Heart of Writhing darkness trinket from DHT is for Prot? I know its crit ( /puke ) but the effect tho?
Feels fucking good man TY alpha prot warrior Thyme
Pogchamp from last raid lol
quick question plz, how do we do the bomb soaking on mythic argus? what rotation are we using for cds for that?
SR when it's up, and legs can help quite a bit for orb soaker
otherwise a decent IP buff can help for a couple while using ls/sw for gaps
is that for the like soulbomb/burst //avatar of aggra soaking?
Oh, p2 orbs
yes, my bad
