I’ve just recently come back to the game after a break during WoD. Is it better to level through Legion as Prot or arms? I’ll mainly be questing and doing some dungeons. I haven’t ranked in a long time so want to give it a go again. Thanks for the help
@fickle jetty what leggos and trinkets are you using for that?
@chrome hedge I loved leveling as prot. Great ability to take on a lot of mobs at once.
Didnt know that Mage tower was so easy now :D
At what ilvl ?
Around 960 so it explains but my frieds told me it would be hard even then ^^
just done the fury mage tower, how do i get onto the next mage tower challenge?
You do the quests that you get from dala
From ghadgar and those 2 others
Do the q chains and then you get the challenges
I guess you already have them but you need the other artifacts
do i need to do the chromie quest line?
no
You need to go to the secret room they council of the six have
Theres a portal in that hall where khadgar is
See if the quests are there
@fickle junco just use Arat's and gloves. Try to save SR charges when you're only soaking a single orb at a time. make sure you get near argus again to build IP.
avoidance gear is BiS
guys in regards to artifact appearances becoming transmog
if i have 2 warrior on different licenses, same battlnet, does anyone know if the artifact appearances for one will be shared with the other
ie warrior a has them all and warrior b on diff license has none
I'd say that you will only have them with warrior a
and if i want the pvp skins
do i need to have the first one unlocked to finish the rest
or will everything be available aside from MT
Whats better? Smoldering Titanguard or Riftworld Codex?
They serve different purposes
Titanguard allows to cheese mechanics nd codex gives some healing
I hit 1771% movement speed with aggramar's stride
You really hit your stride then
thats impressive
what did u stack
i know i did stack boundign stride, sephuz, BC
i never got indepth
in arcway there is a boss that gives you 15% haste, the debuff stacks and you can get up to 99 stacks
ah corstillax
I took a healer with me so that I didn't kill him before I hit max
quick quesion: Apocalypse Drive trinket, what is the interaction with it and healing reduction/absorb reduction like necrotic?
it gets reduced
its an absorb, affected by things like Vampiric Blood
and druid mastery
so i assume that, if you use it when havng necrotic stacks, the absorb amount gets reduced by the same amount the necroitc debuff is
F necro -.-
kite kite kite
Hoping someone can help me out here. Ilvl 899 Prot Warrior just back from a year break. Only showing 5.8million HP and I'm seeing guys in the low 900s with 8-9 million health. Did I miss something critical in my absense?
seeing other prot warriors with that much health?
I am
Guy next to me is ilvl 922 and sitting at 8.3 mil without stam trinks
<
that is my current gear
check their talents, likely they're running indom ¯_(ツ)_/¯
if they have that much more hp
They probably have their leggos at 1000 with lower gear in their other slots, your leggos are baseline with all your gear around the same, I think that'll skew your health. Your chest in particular will give a large amount once boosted, your leg slot is also your lowest ilvl. Those 2 have higher stam budgets iirc.
is dmc still good?
it's fine for consistent physical damage, really just depends on what you have
i dont have anything to replace it. before it was the best, is it still the best?
Is devistator still the talent of choice?
I remember the HP loss after specing it way back when and deciding it was totally worth the trade off
HUGE dps boost
that says its still worth it
Running Renewed Fury/Booming Voice/Anger Management. If ignore pain is not needed to survive, is using it to keep up the renewed fury buff a dps gain or loss over just using revenge?
@crisp wyvern yes it is
Can I rely on raidbot simc with prot warrior? cause I want to increase dps of my prot warrior
yes
Does race matter at all in BFA for min maxing?
I haven't really seen anything in this regard
I feel the need to race change from my frail fembelf
@undone sun
not really, they're pretty marginal as usual
I'm leaning toward the highmountain moose boy just for the mining racial XD
Not sure how I feel about the horns though
👋
960 neck (haste 23%) vs 945 neck (haste 30%)
which one is better for surviving?
the former has vers and mastery
the latter haste and vers
Can't sim survivability, jewellery is a bit harder since it doesn't follow the ilvl rule with other armour slots since it doesn't have str, you could sim it for DPS but tbh I'd honestly say the haste/vers is probably the best option of the two
jewelry upgrade is on 15ilvls or more
Any suggestions for Kruul?
KRUUL DOWN
not that many attempts actually
like, maybe 5 or 6, although i have done it on guardian before
but spell reflect is really a godsend on that fight
Dbm said 3 wipes.
quick dumb question, at what lvl do prot warrs get a spell to spend rage?
this lvl 19 is claiming he has nothing to spend rage on
lol
@civic pelican i thought u werent allowed in here anymore?
what a bad boy
Hey, I'm a dps main but I want to do the prot mage tower before it disappears. I was wondering which leggos and trinkets I should be using, I have all of the prot leggos and the following trinkets: Khaz'goroth 990, CoF 910, Archimonde 1000, 930 memento of angerboda, 895 horn of valor, a bunch of crappy stat sticks
Any suggestions?
I was thinking maybe Prydaz + Trinket
So I've found the guide which ranks the trinkets which is great but what would you guys say is the mage tower like? Is it spikey dmg? Do I need to reduce healing required more? I would've thought increasing my EHP is not so useful but I have no idea since I've never really tanked before
I would go gauntlet and wrist since that gives you great dmg and healing, if you have trouble moving around or just getting pushed out switch any of them out for leap shoulders.
quite bursty at start but should be nothing to worry about
Thanks very much, what trinkets do you think I should run or does it not matter? I think I would personally run Memento and the Khaz'goroth as they have the best stats?
Also using gauntlets will make me lose T21 4-p I know it's not great but is it worth me putting on a hat with slightly worse stats to get the 4p back given I don't have T20?
dont use dps pantheon trinket
the dmg and proc chance is halved for tanks
u dont need t214p for mage tower, but 2p is essential
how good is prot warri as a maintank für argus mythic?
hi guys, do you think it is necessary to have the p4 set bonus? or the p2 is fine and fill the rest with better gear if i have better for those slots
The 4p isnt the greatest and if you have way higher pieces it can sometimes be worth so switch out
If that is the case just sim
yea thats what i was thinking as well 😃
:d
cath, on tyrannical, necrotic.. +15.. as a double carry..
this is gonna be hard right?
Depends on how geared you are
But you have to do some kiting if they cant do dmg ;?)
i am 972 equipped. im tank. have a holy paller healer and DH dps
and we are carrying a rogue and druid.
😦
Should be alright
the 2nd last boss though...
Even without fortified they are disgusting x(
any mage tower tips? keep dying to annhilation
@raw gyro Well the only thing you can really do it kill him quick enough, making sure you use cds right
got it 😄
¯_(ツ)_/¯
ive done the tank mage tower on BrM, bear, and pally with one leggy @ 913 is it doable
hey
So I have a question for Prot warriors
For BfA or 8.0 rather whats the new stat priority? is it Str/Haste/Mastery or Str/mastery/Verstility?
How big is the 2/4pc on prot? and how many ilvls do give up for it? if its good ^^
Gonna be using 2pc until level 130 tbh
i dont play Prot on live, but i will be for BfA
scaling is crazy
i wasn't even able to kill regular level 119-120 mobs non elite for quests
ur tier peices will be worthless
Is the prot warrior hidden artifact a daily thing?
Yes daily
do I need to be in the cave to check?
At ilvl 899 what should I be running for m+ providing the groups aren't retarded
can u xmog hidden artifact for bfa?
Yup
Silly question. Spell reflect doesn’t negate the application of necrotic stacks right?
Correct @brazen hound
@undone sun ty
Can Mannaroths critically heal or is it a static 1% per 10 rage
cannot crit
Sorry to ask, where can I find a guide for the Mage Tower?
At wowhead
You have guides for every class and spec
Also youtube has a lot of video kills and video guides
I made a video. Seems to have helped a ton of people here. I’ll PM to you @lean pewter
I should just ask for it to get pinned for a week 🤔
Easily the best discord I’ve been in
As far as toxicity and genuine willingness to help anyway. The odd one or two tossers here and there but they quickly get found out lol
omg every other class discord can't even compare to this one
warrior discord is best discord
play a pandaren warrior and you will feel the toxicity of this discord. 😉
i play a gnome warrior, i know what it's like to be hated for that
there is only one elven race: elves
guys, one quick question regarding the prot hidden skin. is this different for everyone or is it like the arms quest that appears for everyone at the same time in the same region?
It's different for everyone
okay, thanks
different for everyone and rng reliant. and since...7.1? you only have 1 chance a day to get it
Last night I boosted an alliance prot warrior to play with some friends that are alliance...I have 1% haste in the gear they gave me with the boost. My main is 976 equipped on horde side, there is an eternity between auto attacks
would it honestly be better to go indomitable so i don't have so many wasted globals?
at least I'll have plenty of time to catch up on my reading in between auto attacks
I’m gonna miss Devastator in BFA 😢
has anyone in here lvled a warrior as prot in dungeons recently
the bc/wrath dungeons are blowing my warrior up so bad it isnt even funny
full looms fully enchanted
same way you get it for every other class, by fishing
just time consuming
need to get http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=10596/bigger-fish-to-fry first
ty ty
if you have gold to buy the baits from AH, it's fast
im overwhelkmed i dunno wherre to start
Definitely just try to work one step at a time, each step will make more sense as you do it
do i gotta do it all before bfa?
I think it's staying in but the reps and stuff for fishing will get harder iirc with fishing in groups being easier
is shockwave really better than warbringer?
warbringer used to be better
before it got nerfed
i still use it though
i like having 2 stuns instead of 1
im still super sad they nerfed uit
I still prefer warbringer because it's tied in with charge and intercept not causing the extra gcd
Indeed
This DDoS attack sucks
What DDoS attack?
Thank you 😃
couldn't find the crucible values, is there a string for the addon?
is wow down
Not for me
aw it sayts maintenance for me
Riip 😭
nm im in now
I've had no luck getting the 2pc and I'm still having a hard time with Kruul. I think it's my gear since I just switched over from Fury and was only using the Argulite token gear. Can someone please help me determine worst piece of gear I'm wearing so i can switch it out? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/pd5qSk25PWK7BkD6BRZuLK
I've had success using the pearl trinket to soak some damage during Kruul. Should I not rely on that?
Pearl?
Not llike this
If its the one i think, its one of worst trinkets in the game
Giant Ornamental Pearl
Yep
well....
What other options u got?
Currently none, I will just make sure to use my Argulite to purchase a trinket token
I have not had any good trinket drops
I mean literally anything is better
can you transfer legendaries between character? My hunter Has Kil'Jaden's burning wish


Crit for dps
crit for dps 🤔
Crit? On Legion Warrior?
crit is the worst stat for dps for prot
Big kappa if that wasnt obvious
priority should be Haste>Mastery Right?
STR > haste = mastery > verse > crit more likely
I thought it was haste > mastery = Verse
i just did the stat weights for your character
its STR >> haste >= verse >= mastery >> crit
I was told not to do that at my low ilvl lol
you shouldnt worry about it
ilvl is always the choice
because STR is massively ahead
ok I see
Can Chains of Sargeras target tanks if no one is alive?
Yes
which would be better for challenge? https://i.imgur.com/j2tiEbp.png
prolly AHR
shield can be useful and prolly better ST damage than your ring
assuming you have another good leggo for the other one?
the bracers
And ignore pain yeah
Only need shield block when horrors are out so don't waste rage on that
if you're not using vengeance I probably would
Yay Kruul finally dead, perseverance.
Talents 3212131. Manacles and Stratagem for legos.
Strategy was to spam shield slam every time Battle Cry was available. Potion and haste right off the bat.
Victory Rush on horrors.
hey guys, if i spell reflect kruls twisted reflection spell will it protect me from anihilate?
No, thats just a heal
fuck
mind
rend
nah fuck it
Gotta get better gear
at least an upgrade for the 805 crafted relic
is prepatch tomorrow?
which
argus mount
i thought that the 1% only happens on BFA release?
I think?
idk, but if prepatch removes ML
than it will be hard for me to get over all the new trials and shit
What cooldowns do/did you guys cycle for Annihilate on Kruul? Shield Wall, Last Stand......? 🤷
i wanna do the MT challenge again with my current gear 😦
MT?
mage tower
considering i did it roughly 70+ ilvls ago, it'd feel.... a bit different lol
I'm gonna try the mage tower
Did Blood DK
Just completed Fury
If I can get this, maybe I'll go for Arms or Unholy but probs not
arms one is kind of hard
i mean i still got it in <10 attempts
but it was harder than fury
took me like 8 or so tries on arms
and it took me days of trying prot , but that was a long time ago
What do I do as prot against those nether horrors?
Because as Blood you just mass gripped them, BB and Bonestormed them down quickly
i dont even remember
So
Quick question
How do I play Prot?
Like, what buttons do I press? What's my rotation?

cool
🤔
@red galleon I leveled my prot war recently and only had trouble real trouble with one encounter, and it wasn’t class specific. I’m glad to answer questions in DM. I blogged my experiences, which I’d link here, but I’m not sure if rules permit that.
I feel like a total baddie, having issues with Kruul for days 😦
Kruul
First part isn’t really that bad I can manage pretty easy
But kruul jacks me up
Is he one-hitting you with Annihalation? Are you getting knocked off? Are you spell reflecting twisted reflections?
What’s getting you basically?
Most of the time it’s a badly timed stomp into annihilation before I recover
I try to stay moving to put myself at edge of stomp but sometimes it puts me towards he middle
You could try the legendary shoulders if stomp is getting you.
Reflecting Twisted Reflections is really important because it will keep you alive through everything but the one-hit Annihalation.
If the combo is too much for you, and you feel like your damage is okay. You could try indomitable for more leeway on annihalation.
My LEGO’s are the manacles and ring
Leggos*
I am working on getting a legendary before reset tho so hopefully I can get it
Just worried that tomorrow is the prepatch
It definitely isn’t.
Manacles and Ring will work well.
One thing to keep in mind is that you never want to turn your back on him while running out of stomp
You can’t block if you’re not facing him.
If you bolt him during annihilation cast does he recast
Yeah
It could help if you’re in Stomp as he starts
How many orbs are on the ground when you go into P2v
Usually like 1
And your DPS?/iLvL
924
Just started playing the warrior again so I’m still using lots of bad gear
I have the aggramar tank trinket and fangs
Count how many annihaltes you get. You can’t survive more than 5 probs and you’d be hard pressed to do that
Usually die around the 3rd / 4th one
You should have plenty of CDs for that. First one no CDs, second Demoralizing Shout, 3rd Last Stand, 4th Shield Wall
With Shield Block and close to max IP you will survive them all, so you’ve just got to make sure not to get comboed with stomp
Really only two mechanics that matter with Kruul, everything else is a distraction, try to filter them out
Slow your gameplay down a tad and you’ll get it. Good luck.
For all you Prot Warriors out there, how many casts do you average on a boss fight
On ignore pain*
lots and lots? i wouldnt even be able to count lol
My average on aggramar is 80cpm and 60cpm on Argus
🤦
With T21 it's a big defensive increase as well
Might aswell unbind it Thyme, it only increases your damage 😦
so i was right ? lol
No
It's not useless, but without t21 it has only offensvie value
useless then 😦
and in T21 what happens ?
tanks are only supposed to tank not dps 😠
youre severely underestimating the dps a tank can do
for instance, on mythic argus you need to push the boss at just before 2 minutes
hmm i had 7% damage last dungeon lol
what.
and i was using battle cry
having extra tank dps is important there
we even make our healers dps
but 7%, thats super low
you should be at 20%
minimum
unless the dps was just oneshotting everything
well i was about 780 ilvl i believe
right, thats a bit better then 😄
Well lets say it like this right
whats the difference between you doing 200k more dps
and a rogue doing 200k more dps
idk
yup
so if you have the tank doing this
outdpsing 3 dpsers
thats obviously helpful right?
how does that happen
930, 949 and im 970
but nevermind that 😄
Im in a very very damage focused spec at that point
severely overgearing the fight
well aint Arms the tanky damage spec ?
No, theres no hybrid tank spec
Theres stuff like rogues that has feint thats a bit tankier, but theres no hybrids that can also tank a boss
heres our first argus kill for the p1 push
925k 812k 734k from us tanks
plus 535, 359, 230. 207 from the healers
thats over a million from the healers and 2.5k from the tanks
😮
thats the dps of one and a half extra dps (one from the tanks and one from the healers)
so you shouldnt be underestimating the worth of tank dps
thats of course not saying you should be wiping the raid to do it, but sometimes it can be very powerful and important
so you shouldnt be dismissing abilities that "just" have a dps value
👍
Its also going to be important in bfa, especially in dungeons
they are making threat very relevant
I woke up thinking bout kruul today
feelsweirdman
gotta finish it today until I go crazy
good luck bro
Did you get it? Lol
tf is wrong with this cocksucker
I spell reflect the twisted reflection
he still gets the buff
but doesn't get any heal from it
I get no buff
ok
did it
ty guys
Grats
Yesterday I posted my raidbot profile on here to ask you guys for help in pointing out my worst piece of gear in order to replace it.
I was having a hard time with Kruul, but last night I stayed up well into the morning and FINALLY beat him!
I ended up using Drums and potion on Inquisitor at the very beginning of the fight. He was the most difficult part for me.
Once I got to Kruul I used the StormBolt Macro on cooldown to make him post pone annihilate as long as possible
I successfully spell reflected twisted reflection twice and I popped cooldowns for adds to make sure he was the only one I could spell reflect.
But anyways, I DID IT! Warrior Challenges complete. I just had to tell someone
Gratz
Good job Travric. @frigid pine to answer your question. Twisted Reflections is a spell he casts on YOU, so him getting he buff is correct.
ye I figured
actually I got Kruul killed just barely
Watched the ending being dead
it's such a distractive fight
whats ur ilvl
@blissful glacier the adds don't matter for spell reflection. It reflects anything in a 5 sec window
is prepatch out

@frigid pine pty impressive on 915
I was 932. my biggest problem was properly using my CDs. My failures were directly linked to me not using a defensive at the right time. Also during Kruul I saved Heroic leap for his stomps
so why no prepatch?
???
Not time yet
🤷
wasnt it supposed to be today?
because thats not what its scheduled at
No
no
Next week for sure
I got used to P1 pretty quick biggest challenge was surviving Kruul via getting the hang of Prot CDs
oh ok
u used orbs long name guy?
@frigid pine I completely agree
i used em every stomp if possible on my attempy
I had the challenge DBM that would count down before each Annihilate. I would stun or use an orb right as it was about to go off.
you could say you're friendly?
Ye I also had a WA for the challenge itself but it wasn't that helpful cause I was stressed and didn't have time to look at it
all important WA need to be by your feet
no reason to use WA and not have them by your feet
in them iddle below character
^
yes
Your eyes should always be on your feet
enemy cast bar, goes across my belt, just above my feet
no kidding, there is so much going on in this fight. I still hear the DBM sound for Stomp
hehe
no
I'm about to do my prot run again
DPS challenges are so much easier
oo i do hgave another 110 prot warrior though
on a fairly fresh warrior (940)
I told myself I'd get him to 110 (took 9hours) and gear up over 2 weeks and then do it again
apperntly 940 is pretty easy to get
not really
Arms was easiest. I had a hard time with Fury, not as hard as prot. but still hard
It is no challenge but it takes a lot of time
I used prydaz and leggo ring for most challenges
Shoulders Soul and Angry hat
the hardest I did for DPS was Sub Rogue probably
But I did it when MT came out
I have a restor druid and a DH left
I dunno if I wanna do them
restor cause I don't play healers and DH is 100
I have a 110 DH tho but it's on another Realm and it's complicated
I have only finished my Hunter and Warrior. I was thinking about doing my rogue but idk if there is time.
Monk was another maybe, but I dont like healing, and I'm not looking forward to doing the tank challenge ever again
I've done warrior, druid(not restor), rogue and mage
I ve done warrior, monk, pally, dk and dh
It can
cool ty
@frigid pine gz!!
I'm not very good at tank, I tried sometimes it was very difficult
the ghosts eat me
?what ilvl are you, what leggos, what part specifically is giving trouble
there isnt much to work with like this
ouch
So, if you're having a hard time with the ghosts, I'd suggest hsing Warbringer rather than Stormbolt or Shockwave. since it gives you two AE stuns on a 15s CD
But is it really the ghosts that is doing you in, or their cast + a blast
yeah if you're dying easy
make sure you're not staying in for more than 3 stacks
but with those legos i'll be harder heh
than with others
devastation without gloves?
id say stay at 5 stacks max
but your ilvl should help you a ton
im see lots of vids with this
ok
Devastator is always the best talent
well
not always
but 99% of the time
We don't deal in absolutes here, just ask our fearless leader
He wan't me to think HP is good!
def 100% of the time
there are currently no mechanics that will one shot you under ideal play
hey its krotos o/
Finally killed kruul. That was the last challenge appearance I wanted too, pretty much finished up with legion now
so what is the super cool secret for finishing the challenge ez pz?!
am about to bang my head against a wall here
I know them, done it on my DK, Monk and Guardian. Guess it is an execution problem, and I am not too used to playing warrior
Each tanking challenge has a bit of a tweek per class. What part are you stuck on?
not really stuck, I get past P1 3&5 times, and then Kruul just messes me up. Been able to spell reflect his heal buff, but in the end they just overwhelm me (Kruul, Ghosts, etc.)
save up the stun orbs
and in P1 I keep dying to stupid shit. guess it is an "paying attention" issue
yeah, I usually have 1-2 up, but keep getting blocked from them
Yeah, warriors don't have "I can be a hurrrhurr" mode
like DKs, VDH, Druid and Paladin
You actually have to press buttons 😈
But, Yeah, don't use the orbs for P1, save em up, deal with his first 2 annihilates as normal, and then just keep him locked down for a the last bit (should have 4 up going into P2)
will try. thx
keep getting stuck in the green pools
annoying
4%
there we go
just had to complain enough I guess 😉
@deft epoch just for shits, what talents are you using? and what kind of gear you have?
55% haste with latency for 6 SS inside BC right? Or 55% not including latency
how long do I have to wait for hidden appearence?
It's a daily occurrence, if you check the cave and it doesn't appear check tomorrow @lean slate
@soft mica too much haste is 116%+
@sharp dew that's with latency
whats the chance of it appearing? 😮
oh
54% wasn't enough feelsbad
any tips for the prot challenge?
Get to ilvl 915 and steam roll it
Wpell reflecting krull buff makes p2 rrivial i found
Save all vurst for p2 ie drums and 2nd pot
With current dps targets dont worry about savung orbs use them pretty liberally
Fair enough haha more haste it is!
Im 921
Scythe 2: SBlock + SW
Scythe 3: SBlock + LS and DS
Scythe 4: NF
Scythe 5: Die
Phase three planning```
thanks Thyme
DS was pretty much just used normally and fit in those spots
Hey quick question about Ignore Pain, does it also scale with your total HP or only your AP?
Dang I did not know they actually changed that
what's the special ability of our hidden appearance? had some huge spikes coming out of my shield on a wq and don't know why...
Theres no special ability
Unknown, likely to not even have one
maybe it's huge spikes in pvp-quests?
I mean if noone found it in two years its safe to say none
looked like that NL-trinket
It was a proc or what?
Very good offensively
So offensively diimas and memento or memento and aggramars Conviction?
What's the ilevel on diimas, if they're close it'd be hard to say
Simming will determine what's generally better to use
@prisma crane used these talents when it finally "clicked"
link to my character and the equipment I used: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/silvermoon/phatality
nothing really optimized. I am an altoholic by heart, and was just going for ilvl really. Didn't have too many legos to choose from either.
that talent-tree gave me cancer
@deft epoch you missed out on AM and RF, the rest isnt bad
Went with whatever I found in a guide and it worked in the end, so I am not to fussed over it really
But it could work so much better
About to start trying Kruul, but have only ever been arms and fury, and got 0 prot leggos/trinkets etc. What'd be the best legendaries? Thinking battlelord ring and manno bracers? Also my trinkets are convo of fates and arcanocrystal, will these suffice or should I maybe use KJ wish to kill adds or something?
Bracers wouldn’t be bad
Had AM for the first tries, didn‘t work for me
What ilvl are you?
940ish
You have the 2 set?
yea
So it doesn’t matter what you use tbh you’re gonna steamroll it
T21 made that challenge a joke
kewl 😃 alright thanks chaps
@deft epoch you have 2 set?
4set too, but didn‘t use it for a better lego combo
Then why wouldn’t you have used AM? 🤔
2 set is great for AM
Especially since you can always dump rage off the gcd with IP
Wanted to try something else after the first 20 tries didn‘t work out
Also switched to Storm Bolt at that timr
Time*
my t21 iLevels are 950 , 960, 960, 965
my t20 iLevels are 940, 930, 935, 940 ( which will go with t21 945, 960)
is it better for surviving to use t20?
t21 4pc iLevel : 972
t20 4pc + t21 2pc iLevel : 966
Maybe someone can give a more math-ish answer, but is there any content atm you're doing where you feel like you need more survivability? Even using t21 4p isn't all that common right now
seeing how you want to use berserker rage as a mass-taunt tool this week I doubt t20 does anything
t20 is only good in combination with t21 2p, but thats only for surv
at this point it isnt needed, esp if you got some antorus gear, with which you should replace the t20
just go for memes and do 2p 2p 2p
Would anyone here say that Kruul is harder on warrior than, say, druid?
no, but i havnt done it as druid
from what i have heard is druid on kruul is pretty rough
Every Kruul challenge has it’s own unique issues
warrior was cake for me, but i was a bit overgeared
Hmm, took me a few tries on druid, but Kruul was actually the easiest part. He tickles with Annihilate. Armor is SO op imo
I just completed it at 913 ilvl
Warrior took me more tries but I'm pretty sure that's just because it's the first one I tried
Warrior is the next I'll try. Already beat the other tanks except DH
Annihalation probably hurts a little more on Warrior but IP makes up for it. Spell Reflecting Twisted Reflections also makes a big difference.
I can see P2 being kind of rough. Does Spell reflect actually reflect Variss' mind rend back at him?
I'm considering staying in his field until 8 or 9 stacks, stunning him and running out, with spell reflect to take a potential mind rend.
I assume it would. If not it defs reduces the damage.
I had absolutely no issues with Variss
You can heroic leap or charge if you fucked up and get knocked by an infernal
True. I'd prefer to have leap for the stomps, but constantly kiting practically negates those anyway.
If you have the Shoulders it’s a decent option. I used Soul/Bracers because I wanted more damage.
Nah, I only have a single legendary, the arms helm.
Grab the Argus ring it’d be decent
I’ve done all the tank challenges @dark pewter tbh warrior was the hardest, Druid isn’t all that bad as long as you’re using your toolkit
Indeed, I did the druid one when MoU was still in the game, thrashing while standing outside the circle made it trivial
SRing mind rend with or without stacks would be the same
After literally having to relearn Brewmaster after not having played it since Blackrock Foundry, Paladin, DK and Druid were all pretty easy-ish. I thought druid would be harder at 913 but...not really. I think I had 2 annihilates?
And 1 infernal
The dmg doesnt increase with the debuff
SRing mind Rend really isn’t “the same”
Trust me warrior needs much better play on Varis if you’re not overgeared and don’t have tier
A lot of the “prot warrior wasn’t bad” is because people are going on at 930+ with tier and can just roflstomp the first phase because of tier bonus
Yeah first phase was pretty horrible for me'
Yea I did all my tank challenges pretty much between 910-920 and warrior at 917 was the hardest one out of them all
By a long shot
I put mine off because I didn't really play Prot until Antorus but every time I tried before I roflstomped it I just got rekt lul
BrM which was the first tank I did it on was like a 3 shot, blood DK was a one shot, prot paladin was a one shot with sephuz, vengeance DH was like a 4 shot, Druid was give or take 7-8 tries but that was figuring out how long to stay in the circle and how much I could do, and prot warrior was a good 30-40 attempts
you 3 shot it your first class \and it took you 30 attempts to do Prot?
guys, quick question about stats... ILVL or better stats?
like a 10-15 diference IL
doesnt really mather on jewelry
right?
iLvL
I got the prot challenge skin. Was fairly easy once I understood it
any one have a link so i can give to a friend for high lord kruul for twisted reflection notifications?
for weak aruas
I tried Kruul today and it seemed like they made it so you can’t reflect his reflection cast? Is that a thing or am I just a little slower than I need to be?
@round willow worked for me yesterday just fine
@worthy osprey have you done it on the monk? And what ilvl did you do prot at?
Because niuzao makes it a joke
Literally prot was the only one I felt like I had to go balls to the wall and use pretty much everything I had to do it
And do it all in a very short time frame
@knotty flume DBM has a mage tower addon
Wasn’t meant to be an insult sorry if it came off that way lol. No I haven’t done it as monk. Not sure what iLvL I did that tower at, it was a while ago; I had good gear.
Every other tank has something that makes it more trivial, prot doesn’t really have that until you get to kruul and you can SR twisted reflections. The hardest part about the warrior though is getting through the first phase
239 stacks on the training dummy, can I get a cookie
Do that on beta and ill give you one 😉
I remember doing the prot challenge at 901 ilvl, finally got it the second time the mage tower was available. figuring out the perfect combinations of talents, gear, and legendaries was so god damn fun, having to manage all the different things going on at once, do enough damage but also stay alive and keep track of your interrupts, stuns, SR, and defensive cds was great. They really more challenges like that in the game
Diimas or dark moon deck as a trinket for aggramar mythic?
Diimas is likely to give a better result
@ember arrow @uneven mason @prisma crane TY FOR TIPS GUYS ❤ GET THIS TODAY ❤ ❤ ❤ TY TY TY
fuck yea! congrats my man 😄
I did it after multiple attempts in my prot pally and warrior. Get in there on druid. Barely made it past 70% lol
FeelsGoodMan
from someone that never tanks... at 937 ilvl, it's only a handful of attempts between you and victory
@bronze pewter could you give me some tips?
correct, it was a WoD dungeon drop
i tried a couple days ago
i got the first guy down to 80% and died
for every 10 sec managing the rest of the adds i had 1 sec of dps on him
couldn't keep up
can you do mage tower during pre-patch?
so it's available until next reset?
what ilvl do you think would be good enough to do the prot warrior challenge?
it's doable as low as 890
ok thanks just returning for wow was thinking getting chanllenges on alts idk if i shuld care
safe to say if i failed at 940 then i suck?
takes a while to get used to the tank challenge if it's your first class
boom, thats arms done too
guardian has a lot more tools for the fight IMO
your stacks are getting too high it sounds like
for arms i managed to trivialize it completely with 7% leech
also, impending victory is super useful
You can say that about all the tank specs except maybe brewmaster
is impending really better?
i felt the extra HP you get by killing something then using the normal one was better
impending doesn't replace VR
and it's really the only useful option on that tier
¯_(ツ)_/¯
but VR does 30% instead of 15%
and you are killing stuff constantly
could someone hook me up on talent choices? for instance SB vs SW seems like a hard choice
SB helps for the interrupt on the big guy but SW is really good for the elementals
honeslt yI was a frantic mess
and dont know any of my keybinds
i took SB
because getting out of the stuff with less than 3 stacks is all that matters for real in phase 1
how did you manage the times? it seems like the hardest to me
weak aura
by the time i deal with one add mechanich i'm already into another one
dragging the horrors into the space lowers their HP too
wait what
!!! that's huge
so i always deal with the adds on a AoE basis?
do i main target the big one and cleave the little ones down?
Oh! dont bother with the infernal
just dodge it
dont damage it at all
it'll die on its own
by big one i mean the first boss
ya
also, the eyes? do i kill or ignore ?
I focused it and made a macro for SB
eyes are a kill
super fast to kill, and get a proc of Impending Victory
kill the eyes when you need a VR proc
or if you run into too many that arent near each other*
since you always want to be facing them
yea, dont save them, they arent super critical in P2
early in the first phase, you can spell reflect one of his mind rend casts
use bear tartare!
you mean to use em asap or just whenever i feel " danger" ?
I didn’t my prot warrior at 915 ilvl a few days ago. I just Zerg him every BC until I got 5 stacks then cleared adds
I would spell reflect after the 5 stacks when picking up mobs
ah, that would help a lot
Got my hidden when you could reset it over and over 😬
If you can manage to pick up 2 pc t21 you can really just blast him down in your first BC. I was 920 with no leggos and very little prot experience
true, I didnt have it but it would have made it Cake
i have 4 t21
2 pc 21, Booming voice, Avatar, BC, Sheild block, Slam Spam
Take Heavy Repercussions throw block up, and start slamming away
probably p1 over
blast him down from 100?
I mean... he really doenst have that much health
2 pc 21 makes the only button to press Shield Slam
i really just do fury
literally
Yeah, I got him to around 30% in the first BC
when BC, there is no CD on shield slam (the main dmging ability)
imma try that after this BG
Pre pot > charge> SB> BV> SS>TC>Rev cause I didn’t have 2set
Yeah, I scrambled to get all mine done once I decided main Warrior in BFA after not touching my warrior since en
are you me?!
Same here eyeta
I think there's a lot of "us" like that here
so once i get to the second, i know about reflecting the debuff, what else do i need to know?
do i still care about adds?
yes
My war was 890 and I cleared a normal Argus to get 915 and do challenge
you need to collect them
but they will run at Velen and hes in the middle of the room (basically)
just use Tclap on CD
you'll get em
or not, just use an orb
that also grabs their agro
Ip generates healing threat for adds I believe also
Use orbs to stop anhilate
Slowly kite in a circle helps on ph2
Intervals won’t knock you off
And just heroic leap for healing orb
Oh and a big thing use victory all the time for self healing
I used shockwave for the 20 sec cd when you hit 3 or more make it nice
Use revenge procs a lot to kill the ghost guys and hope for a ss reset.
Life would have been cake with a 2 set for sure
ok imma start trying
Ayyy
so, SB, IV, avatar, BS, devastator, booming voice, heavy rep?
with str flask, bear tart and rune?
drums too
pop everything, try to one shot it entirely?
Oh, pot too
which pot would it be, old war?
I used prolonged power
alright, here we go
doesn't feel like i can one shot him
alright now i managed to get to the second phase with low health and velen died
should u se the artifact on the P1 starting pull?
fuck me sideway,s died at 1%
alright, yeah, i think i got it
see
I dont even have hte artifact ability on my bar
the first AND second phases are literally DPS
NF is pretty useless in P1
do you get to play pre-patch if you havent pre-ordered bfa?
yes
tnx
i keep fucking up at some point but i managed to find a way to almost one shot him P1
DID IT !
jesus, it got super hectic
thanks a lot guys
SEE!
let the power of the OPP ass artifact carry you
now you are part of the "let it hang" club
Hey @naive root how''s it hanging today?
@naive root Grats man!
ty
i hit 1 mil gold tonight !!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, some1 have idea if blizzard rework T21 2part for BFA prepatch?
it's likely, pretty sure most if not all previous tier sets have been slightly adjusted to include the changes from a new expansion
ok b'cause on the beta this isn't adjusted, so wait and see :p
Is there anyway to simcraft stat weight for stamina?
so they're just sorta giving these appearances away, right? I got 3 of them tonight alone
