Most of the Opinion vids that were like WARRIOR SUK, were sitting on their CDs, and not observing their SB uptime
prot in legion also had a pretty big gap in performance depending onthe person playing it
these are the same folks that are playing warrior alts in ABT and are used to dumping 6000rage per minute into IP so you never actually take damage
which isn't our playstyle at all
On a side note, with SB, is it best to keep one charge always on cooldown and save the other for heavier dmg windows, or should both be kept on CD always?
You should use it when you're getting beat in the face, but know that you're going to need something in the gap (like a Demoshout + rolling 2 IPs)
So is there a new guide up somewhere to check out the new information?

Pins bro
Oh sorry >_<
.gg
I am trying to decide between prot war and prot pala as I only have the time for one really. I love the mobility of the warrior but I love the flare of a paladin so not sure what to do 😄
I have also heard that Warriors are clunky
is this true?
I mean I will jump in and try both out for myself
but I just wondered if they are clunky actually or just clunky at low haste etc.
Clunky is a matter of opinion, I mean, is she fat, or thicc?
They made many CDs on the global cooldown now, across all classes, which will definitely have a different feel than what you're used to.
The real question is
Do you want to sound like a wind chime being beaten with a feather duster
or do you want to sound like you just crushed a dudes skull with a car door
You never disappoint
how are we looking for bfa?
Swole
really? good dps and surv?
I believe he said "swole"
For what it's worth, recently I was struggling with that exact same question - prot warrior vs prot pally, and I made my mind up for prot warrior.
For me it was primarily down to mobility and CD mechanics - Warrior feels more fun to me to play. Although I do have to say Avenger's Shield is awesome. 😃
Yes, but don't say it too loud, FOTM bois might come and mess us up
cause bear seems boring as fuck again dk have the heals and brewmaster is still brew. im hoping we can top some charts this time
Warriors topped charts in Legion wat you on?
and are we going devastor or are we not talenting it this time? and for the highest keys they primarly wanted dk and bears it was sad
Battle shout and rallying cry. DKs can take their 40 runic power brez and suck it
we could do great single target dps and aoe in legion
Devastator is 💩
No its just dogshit
booming voice ftw.
I wouldn't say devastator is shit, because shit at least fertalizes the ground. Devastator is pretty much flavor text
no amount of haste makes Devastator good
100% maybe.
i thought it was better all through legion?
Devastator is there for folks who want to be super lazy and have open GCDs
it was
when it generated 5 rage and had the same reset % as Devastate
got it so they nerfed it in bfa
oh yea
I wouldn't say they nerfed it
it got devastated by bfa changes
so we are back to fishing for resets?
I'd say they took it out back, tossed a tire around its neck and gave it a Brazilian necklace.
it's not quite as bad
sorta, I found that I still wasnt hitting devastate as much as I wanted too just because I had other stuff to hit
since tclap and revenge also reset ss
dem GCD changes
Devastator gives you basically about 5 GCDs per minute dead air
Devastate now doesn't do anything for improving rage gen or anything - really only a filler if you have nothing else to push, for chance to reset shield slam CD.
but its value is really hampered by the fact that you're going to be clipping SnB Procs from Devastate, into SnB procs you already get from hitting Revenge or TC anyway
Devastate has always been a rarely used filler.
Would be nice if devastate had an additional effect but I feel like that horse as been beaten enought hat it would have had one by now if they were okay with it
Resetting SS is additional
blizz could've done something neat like making Devastator function like our leggo gloves...but instead they opted for the "let's make this talent useless" route
Yeah Yarzu, Devastate is there to fish for SnB procs, has been since uh, WoTLK.
yes
I think at first it refreshed sunder, the it applied... its been a while memory gets fuzy around the 10 year mark
wait really? or is that just their 'class utility' like we have battleshout
It's the class utility
Yup
All monks have it
Yo guys, I'm finding myself going back to my Warrior for BfA. Atm I'm struggling to find/make a WA for Prot showing IP absorb amounts, couldn't see a working one in pins.
5% physical damage increase and DH’s got magic
Do any of you happen to have a working one?
I’m switching to prot from fury, I’m in the same boat.
The numbers are too small atm
its breaking all Wa's
Im going to be fixing mine tonight
Anyone monkeying around on the BETA while servers are down notice Avatar is missing?
thx 😃
Thought it was a break in the system so went to see if 1 button BrM still working...still boring tank mode
Sco made another tank ranking video :^)
I hate you
lets go and get triggered shall we
Very happy to have ranked the Tanks in BFA from worst to best in one of my seasonal expansion release tank ranking videos. I hope you found this video useful...
no he didnt
He did.
Jesus
days
This guy
old news
TRIGGERED
It was releaszed 3 days ago
Do you consider the i7-7700 old news?
I do
what about the 8086
The 8700 is out now
bruv his vid is garbo we already decided that in #410902883165405214
8086
We know his vid is garbo, it's just I find it bizarre most people here think 3 days qualifies as old.
Fopr 90% of tanks it is
Well I guess humans do perceive their lifespans logarithmically.
Are you an extraterrestrial?
Aliums
The flower?
7th dimensional space skele
what kind of build are we looking at for the bfa talents?


except bolster is blue now
comming soon on tier 3 looks strong
hah
it's just dragon's roar
yea old AF picture, same build
i miss dragon roar why cant it just be baseline
Like, you could probably be fine taking punish or ITF (ITF FEELS better), and tier 30 and 75 are up to you
I like the extra range on TC myself
Dragons Roar hits pretty hard
so, there is an argument to use it over UF in some situations
by pretty hard I mean, its like slapping everything around you with a train
I am really sad Devastator is not the go to talent, I hate spamming a button that has no CD
good thing you dont spam it then
Haha ye I should have removed the word spamming
which one is on the gcd still heroic leap or intercept?
intercept
Devastate just feels awful every time you press it.
cool thanks
Its the Furious Slash of protection
well devastate does something as well
Devastate just does petty damage
resetting SS
So does 2 other abilities
one costs rage to use tho
What FS was unique to FS. It was BLP for thirst crits
Devastate needs something more than an RNG reset. It just feels garbage
i have been play prot for a long time and the button i used to have devastate on is now broken
Lol
now i might have to get a new mouse
i've been thinking of getting a meme mmo mouse
Just get a game pad then lol
yea or just bind all spells to your num pad
Ez
i knew one guy who had his movement keys and all his spell on his num pad and used the mouse with his left hand
Left handed
yea
I use an Orbweaver.
I use rdfg to move so I have more of the keyboard
i use voice commands to move so i have all of the keyboard
if its anything like siri idk how movement intense fights would be
How we looking boys and girls?
Same as we have been
So trash iirc from beta
you must not have played betas for 2-3 months
go and test
I haven’t
🤷
Which is why I’m asking
War is fine
Obv what I was talking about...
Boring, but fine
Boring is relative
Cool
"New"
at least way better then way it was in alpha
Not hard to improve on garbage tbh
Then again Surv was bad all of legion
So I guess for blizzard it can be
so far - which tank spec is most effective vs magic damage (dots and moderate to low hits) ?
every tank's magic defensives took pretty massive nerfs, I believe prot is in a good spot relative to the other tanks
It's not even up yet for na haHaa
Wha
its morning for me
it's still 4:15 out based on the post
The maintenance is scheduled to continue up to 4 more hours
yo
It was at least an 8 hours maintenance
they didnt patch US???
anyone know if they patched NA yet??
@timid jay
oh ok
Tell me
Idk
😡
Lemme do some math on it
pls
Oh shit
@fierce juniper thanks for ur guide on icy-veins... i read it all this morning..
np friend
It's 10am pst, servers still have 4-5 hours of downtime
So the date is 2018-07-17, or 1994. The patch is 8.0.1 or 801. 1994/801=~2.48
w-what are we going to do for 5 hours...
3 pm pst, is 4:09 hours away
@timid jay did you drink?
Only pure grain alcohol and rainwater
cosmo this is why you're orange
Lol
SERVERS ARE UP
lol
AAAAAAAAA IT'S HAPPENING
lol
So
Is it 7:54 in the US atm?
Anyone can check out dungeon journal for mythic antorus and t21 2p?
Guess wowhead should update soon enough anyway
Is 4p still broken in the prepatch?
ill find out in just a sec
Anyone happen to know if the legendary vendor legendaries are all BoA so you can buy for alts?
Lol
2 piece still broken
Rip
4 piece still busted
They actually didnt change it

WTF

:POGGERS:
Lmao
You can spend the extra time updating addons
as a filthy casual who has not played since wotlk, what is this set?
Its t21
Basically what most of us are running around with atm
how i intercept macro now
@fierce juniper how much health do you have? Around 50k?
z-perl is not update atm ç_ç
8k Ip seems 👌
yep
thanks
49.3k
@fierce juniper argus mount is still BoP and untradable??
probably
Kappa
omg everythying is new im so overwhelmed lol
my addons are so messed up i could cry lmao
i have no unit frames
D:
My self and like 15 other warriors i know reported the 2 set on ptr and beta mutliple times as a bug. They had legit months to fix/ change it and they didn't address it. Im pretty sure its staying as is at this point lol
i fail to see the problem
what?
the 4pc is the real problem
eh
hell yeah server is back
Someone look at mythic foe breaker in journal please 😢
not like it matters
why are you accepting that a billion dollar company cant change their game for current gear?
I wanna check numbers
cuz its only gonna matter for 4 weeks of the game wherein no progress is done in any way
only done it once before
you give the community a finger and the community takes the hand
they've never changed sets in retrospect except t18 as i was informed
I just hold them to a higher standard. A standard that a multi billion dollar gaming company should be held to
but i know it wont get fixed
im just ranting
cuz its not a bug
yeah its just unbalanced
so.. are we OP or not? 😄
No
:V
That cant be right
its not
Thanks though 👌
rip argus kills
yeah all the dungeon journal values are way off
Oh well, gues I'll have to wait to get numbers
Is Argus' cleave a decent number or still un changed?
im just wondering how it will be taking 4-6 stacks now with out NF
i would not be surprised at all if its super undertuned
and it might be to the point where you can solo tank mythic argus
oh actually
imagine
the rents
at like
15 stacks
If the ptr.wowhead numbers are correct, you probably only need a tank for positioning
lol
Those numbers said rent souls did ~800 damage
fair
i guess anyone can soak them
or rather
it doesnt matter if you soak them
Yeah but all the numbers seemed extremely undertuned compared to the screenshot you linked
i guess i can finally play warrior with gloves
why isnt avatar in my spell book when there is a talent that is referencing avatar
after 2 years
I dont know what to believe now
You weren't using gloves? @tribal shale
or he didnt get em
yea
We can finally stop using the belt today
or continue
to have a free demo whenever
@obsidian sedge respec to fury/arms then back to prot
ok ty
i see
i would assume gloves lose a lot of value since you devastate quite little
but i guess they're effect being so strong compensates
I considering using bracers for some self healing in warmode
For the first half of leveling at least
bracers are pretty garbo right now
@ashen trellis Well, prot was my alt, and I didn't played throughout the whole expansion, I had to have some breaks
so yeah, I wasn't using gloves
do we already have an ingame community?
The problem with the communities is that they're region and faction locked
you can make bnet tag communities
Those are still region wide
Wouldn't legs have a better overall survivability boost now?
I mean, gloves would be kind've meh
nice, chosen just failed cuz we had little to no dps
wat
technically wiped on odyn but managed to kill him so now im fucked
Toweliee's group is getting wrecked by heroic dogs.
Legs only provide 1 additional charge of Shield Block for the entire fight. You only gain more than that when you let it cooldown past 2 charges.
^
Also, I think you guys are underestimating how much you'll cast Devastate, particularly on single-target.
now that i have id on odyn mythic, but died i can no longer get chosen yes?
I suppose
servers are up...
Chosen is gone Nomeratur
ah well
he died
literally 2 sec after i died
Totes other folks fault
got knocked in the air and couldnt charge odyn, panicked and forgot to leap
story of my life
ah no, leap was on CD i could've charged a player though i think
so it is kinda my fault
but yeah i was 6th in damage as tank, no way we would've gotten it anyway so 🤷
yea but proper players
so you have to outgear hard to make it
i suppose i would've lived it all
but falldamage ruined me
eh you could outgear all you want, people still needed to know what was going on
for helya
You can't outgear getting hit for 27million cause dude borked orbs
monka
or not soaking slams, or purple
and folks just ADDing and letting adds pop
I suppose you can out gear the adds
mostly its the purple, and the orbs
mostly orbs
But dying on Odyn, thats rough
was a shot in the dark, it failed, not mad
well 1/3 died and then unluck on my part i guess
had a genius who decided to relog during clearing trash
then cried that they lost their buff
our group had trouble with the tentacle slams, but that seemed to be an issue with trying to get chosen with 12 people
and not having enough extra bodies
to all warriors u are damn extra guys if u managed to get ur mage tower apperance lol x) i just seems cant get, it's horrible how low my dps is and i get raped by variss <_<"
what ilvl you at
915 x) just boosted that character a week ago for the apperance that i find quite cool but it seems i wont get it ^^
so how does warrior feel bois
fresh warri is prob the hardest
have you watched videos or read guides on the tower
did it with 898 after 160 tries
i watched guides and read wowhead guid
looks like i'm back on warrior boys
i already done it on prot dh and blood
got mage tower on 6 chars, on all tanks
gg ^^
a week ago 😄
i always get fucked by the spirit stuff
?
on variss i mean ^^
the nether horrors
are you impending victory?
yep i do on the eyes for self healing
um yea it does
but i feel like i cant generate enough rage
tbf i did it when it came out, so im not sure if anything has changed
i must always have enough rage for IP but i cant enough :x
only HP got reduced
are you putting all 3 stacks of thunderclap on variss?
how many stacks are you taking
dont forget spell reflect and use VR after every nether horror and eye
are you killing an eye after a rend and healing with IV?
yea dont get more than 5 stacks
only use Spell Reflect with Nether Horrors
t21 2p
neat
its big
- more dmg
on my war it seems to be, well my stats are fucked up so i guess that's why
warrior felt like one of the easiest, impossible to be knocked off
this the build you wanna use
yep using those talent
so use demo shout for rage if you're starved
oh i went with avatar
otherwise you should have been using SS constantly not sure why you are starving so much... don't mash revenge if you need IP
i can't remember what i used on that row
i took avatar since i could make a macro for prepot avatar shout and try to burst as much as possible
probably RF
what leggos you got
a dps just killed me in world pvp
the ring from argus x)
its a sad day
he's short on time though
he should more than out gear it by now though
if his problem is rage gen, he's not using the right abilities
i already done argus NM and got only got worse gears or gold
do lfr
done too ^^
not even 2 pieces
only thing left is hero but i am too low for that xd
i got back and its not even tier set
well i joined a guild run so they was kinda trading between themselves only
Am i crazy? I cant find Avatar in my spellbook
respec
the problem is i can only wear 2leggo ^^"
exactly
only 1**
emissary?
emissaries as well
just prioritise Shield Slam above all else, don't use 10 rage Ignore Pains....
well IP needs 20 rage minimum OpieOP
standard prot warrior stuff
but yeah, prot warri is hardest challenge imo
was just a figure of speech
only took me long cause i did it when it came out
Is the mage tower still up?
on EU
For EU
is prot battle cry just gone?
yes
Ooooh
rip
pray that i drop some leg on the invasion lol
pray for bracers
Prepatch is live on NA. I guess servers are up already.
yea
servers are up im loged in
We still using bracer/gloves in prepatch?
i wonder if it's worth to pay for a +15 PL only plate wearers, i may get some nice shit
Gloves/belt or bracers for def
you didnt use gloves on live? wtf
isn't aggramar boots better for leveling with sephuz ?
Gloves increased slam right?
i mean i had really good tomb 4 pc
so i used 4pc 2pc belt bracers or belt arch
moonguard just crashed on na
too much sex
rip
Gloves were/are #1 for damage
dmg is where its at brother
Belt for multitrget and #2 for DPS, ahr is hard to get perfected
i never really got a 2nd piece to dethrone 4pc 2pc so never really thought about it haha
only thing i'm not looking forward to is spamming devastateagain 😦
RIP t21 2pc :(
hardly will have time to
you rarely press devastate
in a dungeon almost never
yeah
in ST a bit
what i'm saying is.. rip devastator
i mean, im happier i dont have to track swing timers for prot anymore
now arms though
im thinking devastator is worth it at 30% haste
You didn't anyways
You never did
xD
i thought you did in nh
Swing timers weren't ever relevant for prot
Maybe for a week, but the math was revised shortly after
i still had the WA for it tho
it was definitely a shilled idea that you had to track swing timers for optimal procs
i remember that shit
same kek
it didnt feel like my devastator damage dropped when i stopped waiting for it, so i just thought that it was like super min/max
It turned out to be a DPS loss and a very minor rps gain
it wasn't min/max ever
you guys dont think devastator could be worth at like 30% haste without ITF
cuz why do you need 45% haste tbh
you need 50% for 100% sb uptime
No
No...
lol just tried to do upper
Devastator will never be worth it.
oh i thought that was what marok said
curator did 1M damage on overload
nice prepatch
There is next to no situation where Devastator surpasses BV
I'm going to try and run dragon soul wish me luck
Because the more haste you have
the better BV becomes
yep which is why i said i was gonna miss devastator
Like those situations are like "But X becaomes good at Y stat right?" But the same stats increase the competing talents as well ><
ya no i for some reason thought its 15% vs devastator
dont ask me how
i didnt eat much today

EXCUSE ME
But yeah Devastator has no balls, they took it out back and shot it, then lit it on fire, crushed it with a steamroller
So devastator is bad now?
Yes
i really don't like pressing devastate :/
Devastator is bad because the benefit it provides is negated most of the time by OTHER things providing that benefit and overwriting/already providing the same thing
the shield block 30 rage cost is strange
Used to be more
whats the chance that PullNBear name is already taken ;o ?
i know
i hadn't used devastate in so long, i had forgotten it was on the GCD
60 in wod right?
40-45 in alpha BFA
but i'm so used to 15
was rough
charge on the GCD makes me sad
IP on gcd feels awful
aaah
Everyone remember when Shield Block stopped 2 attacks, and if you didn't time it right you'd get crushed?
the newbs are coming
Pepperidge farms remembers
new ip feels a lot better than old ip
?
what
like to use
the newbies are coming, hide
Old IP was tied to my mouse wheel
i had it on F
old ip meant never die ever
it feels like it has an identity
Old IP meant you were either at full health or dead
warbringer was nerfed on live a while ago
really?
Yeah
yup
well fuck
so do we already have an ingame community?
is this even going to be a thing?
Use 4pc T21 until they fix it and you'll basically feel the same way from what I've been reading. The AP scaling or whatever on the bonus wasn't fixed so you get a massive IP every time you block. As long as you refresh it every 12 seconds, you basically don't run out of IP ever.
and also need to be bnet friends to invite or something
yeah
i don't see it being the same before tonight
but they did let DH have super op spirit bomb for a week so who knows
yeah it seems communities are just extensions of guilds really, like FF's linkshells or whatever they were called
whoa lagged out
Communities are basically like a Discord server for you and your friends as I understand it. Chat/voice chat for a specific group of people.
XJK
2 things @fierce juniper 1) this can crit? nice! 2) should add 2-min CD if using bolster, unless the tooltip is wrong?
is anyone else missing the shit out of mobs?
LS heal can crit
Im playing my mage and my ice lance misses 50% of the time
Also, who borked Discord. Can only log in on mobile.
"outside of abilities"
is that new as of this patch?
yes, dmg taken by melee hits, as opposed to dmg taken
I havent played since end of Wrath. Please excuse me lol
so basically, as far as i see it, it's worse than previously on casters, but better against many melees
but iirc it has an icd?
kk, thought so, anyways, it's passive, you'll get the hang of it
Can’t log into WoW of course, because somebody let everyone know the servers were up, and now everyone is trying to log in at once
So cycle the normal rage generating abilities and + the rage recieved from hits now and juggle IP and SB?
I noticed thier more expensive now rage wise
@prisma crane Yeah I'll fix that. Should be 3 min
you said since wrath but asking questions as if you played for a while before today
kk, thanks!
ive been playing for a week
ah, ok well
I learn fast I guess lol
it'll be close to that week
costs adjusted
and ofc it'll be a bit slower
a lot slower if you were like some of us and geared and had 2p T21
mhm
Word, thanks fellas
you'll have to focus more on saving rage for SB and IP will be less spammy
so when wow launches, just throw highest ilvl relics in weapons and youre good to go?
WTF ARE THESE CHANGES
Can't even log into the servers :(
rip +6% block chance
Weak auras finally updated
not from bastion relics
For those interested
well
right?
you can get higher than 44% base theoretically
but crit block is capped at 85%
block value is back in the game
correct
mmmm PTSD anub set
but your shield has a block value
hmmmm
every prot warrior has the same shield, modified by ilvl of relics id assume
i should have kept more of my "shit" relics
Block chance is mastery yes
fixed, thanks
as is critical block chance
Oh I see it was just a mistype; context clues! lol
mhm !
Btw, hi Krotos. Long time no see. ✊
Block value (its Block Rating) is a stat decided by a calculation based on your shields Armor
o/
Oh yeah
which is 1.5*armor
Sup Lev!
happy reunion
Any of you americans what to have some fun?`
im deciding what i want to do in BFA, going to start off taking raiding a bit more casually though lol
excuse me im EU
oh?
The block value calc uses the same type of calculation as armor DR
It uses a k value just like armor does
you have NA account?
Ominous
nope
but Cosmo wanted to know if we want to have fun
Block mitigation, uses the same calculation and DR as armor, it also has the same 85% Mitigation cap as Armor
fun detected, nerf inc
lol
Right
rip
well servers are down atm afaik
hmm
well if i remember ill check tonight
but will probably at that point be just as easy for you to check tomorrow
so prepatch is squish, irp artifacts and class changes?
yea
Personal loot
im hoping Argus is nerfed through the floor
i have some friends i want to pug it with
So, I'm a noob, Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. On the Greater Sparring dummy, I've charged, popped avatar prior shield block, bash thunderclap, then ignore pain and I'm already down to 1/3 of my HP, is that normal or am I doing something just completelty wrong
well last stat squish trivialized the shit out of SoO
so we'll see how it goes tonight
@static horizon you NA or EU?
NA
I'm going with fucked tuning on dummies
yeah
Well, IP used to be 90% and is now 50%, and I doubt dummies were a priority in the tuning
was just typing that
nerf dummies
Dummies new raid boss confirmed
dummies working as intended
oh brb ctying on forums
Ok, so them hitting for 17k isn't intended then
that's an official blizzard response guys, i promise
dummies have been like that since beta started
When you kill Argus, he tells you that the real boss fight is just beginning. Greater Sparring Dummy does superhero landing from sky
painnnnnn
let's start the 10 stack dummy challenge
If they missed overcharge on Curator, I can't wait to find out what they missed in ATB 😂
pretty much the only time you'll ever use IV
what diff did you do curator at?
since IV competes with better
m+ i'm assuming
I didn't. Just heard about it.
oh
Our Tier is a hard RIP atm right? set bonus is D-E-D ded?
"hey guys i think it's for m+ only and because of tyrannical" /splat
4p is broken
4-pc is OP, but 2pc is worthless
on heroic
2p is broke
oh? 4p scaling busted op atm or something?
Yeah
every time u block u double ur IP
blizz trollin. They need to change the 2PC to activate on 
Yeah because that wouldn't be trolling at all 😂
make it activate during avatar
guys let's not talk about it
shhhhhhh
Hnnnggggh
So 4p is worth using or just equip highest ilvl and be done with it?
yes
There would literally be an auditory moan from your character every time you cast Avatar
And the mob would just run away
GachiBass
Defensively I imagine 4pc would be worth quite a bit
singing the "fuck this shit im out" song
Until it's fixed
Doubt it
since nothing matters during prepatch
tbh for BFA we shoulda gone back in levels
Tier bonuses are deactivated in BfA right?
otherwise losing 70% of power makes 0 sense
At 115 or w/e
immersion ruined
Oh, they stay in til 115?
Bro we turned in our nuclear weapons
haha
Idk, I've already been through one stat squish. You'll get used to it.
now now guys, no more nukes when you're fighting against the other faction, here take this
Have you guys read anything about the new azerite traits? Some of them look pretty interesting.
Can't wait to farm shields
ugh
Azerite powers seem a little slot and forget to me tbh
goddamn it thanks for reminding me
They are. They're a permanent selection just like NLC traits
PTSD when shields NEVER fucking dropped
But you can have multiple pieces with different traits if I understand correctly
I think you can change a trait but each time it costs more
worse PTSD, giving all shields to fucking glad warriors only to have them nerfed wk 1 and never used
rofl
Oh, I believe my info is from alpha so it's probably outdated then.
ion said some stuff like the best trait for each spec will be on different pieces so we're gonna want em all
that was FOTD spec
ohhh right
Well when I said multiple pieces, I meant multiples of the same slot
So you could have an azerite set for doing WQs, an azerite set for dungeons, an azerite set for raids, etc.
and we're gonna be able to stack em with same trait in different slots in some cases
Yeah
Yes
say it with me guys: rip bag space
And everything is personal loot so
They'll be just like relic traits really. Each spec is going to have certain traits that are must haves
Have fun farming ya savages
I don't think k I've seen an azerite traits that's as impactful as some of our gold traits were
btw, i remember seeing bolster as crit blocks, but i think im just old and remembering wrong, either way, i only see now that it basically adds jsut block to its duration correct? not a super NF anymore?
I was reading through the ~700ish they've datamined (though a lot are repeats) on wowhead. Some seem pretty strong.
i wonder if that will kill dps offspec'ing for me
having no bag space for everything
Bolster is not guaranteed crit blocks
kk
Not sure about before, but Bolster is just shield block now. No crit block guarantee
But the blocks during bolster can crit
yea
next follow up, i asked a while ago, may have been missed
does that block count as AM or we get fucked like with NF?
what happened to crit block being double the block rating and not just adouble block?
honestly, it just seems crazy strong
For AM check?
I'm not for sure but I doubt it counts.
yea
I don't think they're doing AM checks this time around
Don't even know if am checks are prevelent
ah, ok, then its moot anyways
Unless the buff you get is actually called Shield Block and has the same spell ID, which seems unlikely.
what makes you guys think AM checks won't be a thing?
I'm sad that Reflective Plating is gone 😦
Haven't seen em in any dungeons yet tbh
I'm pretty sure I saw an Azerite trait that lets you reflect two spells though 🤔 Don't quote me on that; I was pretty tired when I was reading them.
i hate that that was changed back
Ya gleaming baseline wouldda been nice
fine, the 50% down to 20% is just tuning ill get over it
Prolly OP
but all spells is what made it fun
Yeah, I don't care about the DR. Just want the all spells back
back are we to the days of nearly impossible timing if you have several casters on you
Yep...we did not miss you!
gotta reflect the "big" hit, not the tiny one that sneaks in...
Just gotta play it smart
oh i remember how it used to work, just annoying is all
Honestly BFA prot warr screams "know every fight detail and play it smart"
And that's aight
Yeah but it's still possible to not reflect what you want to because a small faster projectile sneaks in
We'll get over it. Hugging our knees in the fetal position, but we'll get over it.
idk, and with the GCD shit, cant even leap, fear, charge back in a quick succession
oh well
Welcome to bfa
I'm a little annoyed that they didn't just make the all targets cower baseline for Intimidating Shout
Have fun not having fun
Thyme to raidlog
Ybdo that when u can out it on a talent and give "choice"
Ikr
Welcome to every pre-patch ever
i got over every other change that happened, i learn here, just sucks
Yeah I think the GCD thing is gonna be the most impactful on my enjoyment tbh. I can even handle having to cast Devastate again. But charge alone being on GCD is pretty gross.
same
Leap was on gcd, that felt really bad.
IP still feels bad
Anyone that tanked dungeons on PTR, how is threat?
I think I won't chat a while in here, can't handle all the new peeps xD
New peeps?
new? i see mostly old faces
People who haven't played beta
🤔
I was in bfa chat for the longest time but
#410902883165405214 was a no go zone
Bound to be a lot of new people with a new expac
