scroll up a lil bit

burnt tusk
#

I got this by marok

hidden axle
#

its sexy

burnt tusk
#

Doesn't work, unfortunately

hidden axle
#

mm must be something on ur end

#

is ur WA up to date

burnt tusk
#

Yes, it is

#

Got WA 2, version 2.6.0 for game version 8.0.1

fierce juniper
#

are you on an english client?

burnt tusk
#

yes

#

Is it possible, that is has something to do with my level?

#

Usually the spell shouldn't change, but my warrior is level 42, maybe it has something to do with that?

fierce juniper
#

hmm

#

it might have something to do with you not having NS

#

one sec

burnt tusk
#

Excuse me, NS means?

fierce juniper
#

Never Surrender

#

the talent

#

you get it at 60

burnt tusk
#

okay

fierce juniper
#

/dump GetTalentInfo(4, 2, 1)

#

paste that into your chat

#

and lmk what it says

burnt tusk
#

Which value do you need?

fierce juniper
#

the 4th

burnt tusk
#

[4]=false

fierce juniper
#

hmm okay

#

thats not it then

burnt tusk
#

damn

fierce juniper
#

oh

#

okay can you take a screenshot of your IP tooltip

tulip arch
#

Could the IP be low enough that the comma is not matching?

fierce juniper
#

yep

#

thats exactly what im thinking

burnt tusk
#

Aaah

#

882 damage absorbed

#

881*

fierce juniper
#

yeah thats it

tulip arch
#

Damn edge cases, lol

burnt tusk
#

Aaah so as soon as it hits 1k+ it should work?

fierce juniper
#

yep

burnt tusk
#

Haha, what a joke πŸ˜„

#

So, it somehow has something to do with the level...

fierce juniper
#

pretty much πŸ˜›

burnt tusk
#

yea, most people don't use WA on this level, so why implement it for them, makes sense

fierce juniper
#

i think i can fix it for you

#

one min

burnt tusk
#

Oh nice, thx

robust urchin
#

I was about to ask how is it possible ur ip only goes upbto 881

burnt tusk
#

Level 42 πŸ˜„ Haha

fierce juniper
#

well

#

you're gonna have to wait a bit

#

servers are down lol

#

:(

burnt tusk
#

huh what

#

Not for me

fierce juniper
#

i think they're doing rolling realm restarts

burnt tusk
#

Restart your wow, you might have an update queued

#

Had the same prob yesterday, showed me the realms are offline

fierce juniper
burnt tusk
#

Dont have that notification on my Launcher πŸ˜„

robust bronze
#

Different region prob

burnt tusk
#

y, true

carmine cobalt
#

Eu?

burnt tusk
#

I'm on EU, US realms some are down

robust bronze
#

How much hp dose people has as prot currently?

rapid trench
#

45.5k

robust urchin
#

I think i have about 42 or 43

robust bronze
#

i am around 45.3k myself, but it seems kinda low compared to other tanks

signal plover
#

47.7 at 250ilvl

robust urchin
#

Well warriors always had a smaller pool

#

I mean you could take indomitable

#

πŸ˜‚ πŸ‘Œ

burnt tusk
#

Make warriors great again

robust urchin
#

I'd like to see Genn as high king

#

He already build a big wall

#

And made the others pay for it

signal plover
#

Man after some higher keys last night im so in love with bolster I'm gonna have some shirts made

#

Maybe send out invitations to our wedding.

amber siren
#

Send me one

robust urchin
#

I feel really bad doing m+

#

I feel like healers expect me to tank like pre patch

junior igloo
#

It is the pre patch πŸ˜„

robust urchin
#

Ok then

#

PRE Pre-Patch

cosmic cargo
#

warr is no longer lowest health pool though

#

monk is

#

(ofc monk's ehp is really high)

burnt tusk
#

Do you expect much from Warriors in BFA?

astral crystal
#

mythic aggramar tho

#

what has blizzard done

junior igloo
#

Of course, warriors are now mandatory in every raid group because of Battle Shout πŸ˜ƒ

signal plover
#

Awww yiss forced utilityyyyy

#

Plus rallying

exotic rapids
#

IP is such a joke atm

#

8.5k absorb

#

medives piercing missiles hit fΓΌr like 15k every 0.5sec

strong forum
#

Yup, vs magic dmg we're fucked

burnt tusk
#

Wasn't warrior fucked the whole legion addon?

signal plover
#

No

strong forum
#

No

#

We could literally reflect the entirety of medivh missile cast

#

And make him go fuck himself

exotic rapids
#

ah and the tank gets the inferno dot

#

everytime

#

even if the target is 100000y away

junior igloo
#

Warriors have higher up-time on cooldowns than other tanks, so arguably better equipped to handle magic damage.

strong forum
#

Yeah but still hard hitting

#

Did the caster guy in arcway yesterday on +15 fuck he hit hard I tell ya

signal plover
#

Ya devastator tentacles in mos were spanking me gud

strong forum
#

Like 30% hp every cast

signal plover
#

I will thought I had the SR timing down too but guess not

strong forum
#

Does the 20% magic DR disappear after we reflected a cast or does it always stay the 5sec but the reflect wears off

signal plover
#

Goes away

#

The buff is eaten by the reflect

strong forum
#

So you wanna SR 4sec before the actual cast comes your way

#

So you get the max cdr

signal plover
#

Ya I mean if there's magic Dmg even happening.

strong forum
#

Well doesn't tentacle for example always strike first with his thingy

#

Or like watch for dark slash timer etc

#

On ymiron

stuck oxide
#

Anyone raided yesterday? Any bug with aggramar/argus mythic of course

signal plover
#

Both were kinda iffy last night tbh

strong forum
#

I'll try to get myself to push some keys to get some score for bfa to show off

signal plover
#

Was a lot of fun tbh

stuck oxide
#

Can you be more specific ?

signal plover
#

Fuzza talking about m+ sorry

stuck oxide
#

Oh sorry

signal plover
#

We haven't done mythic agg/arg yet after patch

#

Most peeps still reworking UI. Doing heroic tonight for lols

#

I'll say this...WW touch of karma is broken lol

high pilot
#

Fuzza, I did garothi/agg yesterday and it was pretty shitty. It doesnt seem too overtuned its just that people are not optimal on their classes yet. Also, losing our artifact makes it harder for argus scythes

stuck oxide
#

Ya but with bolster we can use last stand for 2 back to back scythe ez

high pilot
#

Foe breaker isnt too bad if u have SB + IP

#

The thing that tilts me is that our tier 2pc doesnt do anything

#

Yeah our problems in raid were not really tank related tbh.! But it feels like shit hits way harder than it used to (scythe and foe breaker)

strong forum
#

@signal plover my experience last night was same as always when pugging. People not knowing basic stuff dying left and right and getting carried by me... Annoying as always

fierce juniper
#

Can someone on a non-English client take a screenshot of their Ignore Pain ability tooltip pls

wanton sentinel
#

@fierce juniper Are you checking for the comma vs. period?

#

You could just gsub both out of the tooltip before you call :match

fierce juniper
#

that, and if "50%" always comes before the absorb amount

wanton sentinel
#
    local currentIP = tonumber((GetSpellDescription(190456):gsub(",", ""):match("up to (.-) total damage prevented."))) * NSPerc

Chain a second gsub to remove periods too

#

True

fierce juniper
#

nah thats what i was using before

#

doesn't work on non-english clients

wanton sentinel
#

Can you get the TT desc from wowhead?

primal crypt
#

Ivanyr in Arcway 14....overtuned and decimated us

#

Wow

#

I am definitely getting hit way harder

fierce juniper
#

idk if wowhead supports other languages

#

i dont think it does

vocal nimbus
#

@fierce juniper try es.wowhea....

wanton sentinel
#

It's 502'ing anyway

strong forum
#

Yeah, hit me for 30% hp on +15 yesterday @primal crypt

vocal nimbus
#

And search for Ignorar Dolor

wanton sentinel
#

^ nice, @vocal nimbus

vocal nimbus
#

Im not home so i cant take a look directly

primal crypt
#

DK no issues so I hop on the warrior and start panicking

#

Why we getting hit so hard lol

vocal nimbus
#

@fierce juniper did you find anything?

fierce juniper
#

wowhead is down

burnt tusk
#

Ah I was wondering

#

Thought it was my router

#

Bad gateway?

vocal nimbus
#

Im home in 1h30 if you dont mind waiting

fierce juniper
#

sure

#

ty

burnt tusk
#

After that dungeon I could swap to german client for a sec

#

depending on the download time

primal crypt
#

Are we not supposed to be at the levels before 8.0?

signal plover
#

Correct

primal crypt
#

Doing 22s no problem

signal plover
#

Prepatch is a weird time

primal crypt
#

Then bam 14 is God tier lol

vocal nimbus
#

There are things, undertuned, tuned correctly and overtuned

signal plover
#

Everything you're doing was designed with your old class kit and artifact in mind.

vocal nimbus
#

HoV is the same as before for example

signal plover
#

Maw honestly didn't feel all that different except that some timers felt funky

vocal nimbus
#

I did a +14 hov with 4 people

#

Actually maw is better for us

full spruce
#

@signal plover the tentacles in maw you can reflect the dot they put on you FYI. Soon as DBM alerts I just spell reflect on my way in

vocal nimbus
#

Because SR only.mitigates 20% now

#

So the reflects of dark slash and tentacles hit harder

signal plover
#

@full spruce I know I just did it a sec too late

exotic rapids
#

normaly they nerf everything to the ground with a prepatch. So you can have some fun and learn the new playstyle

signal plover
#

There's always been some outliers

exotic rapids
#

atm it just feels clunky and it even gets boring to get instagibt by trash

signal plover
#

What trash was instagibbin ya?

#

Just curious cuz even in a 19/20 intake was decently smooth for me

#

Had to use bolster pretty often but I think that's intended

vocal nimbus
#

Trash feels really good for me

exotic rapids
#

I did cathe 20 NL 16 Lower 9 and Upper 20

signal plover
#

Cath I could see some issues

exotic rapids
#

the 1st pack the casters in lower killed me 3 times

vocal nimbus
#

We do insane dmg on big pulls too

wanton sentinel
#

@fierce juniper 50% comes before the absorb total in the Spanish localization

primal crypt
#

Definitely feel the need to use CDs more often

wanton sentinel
exotic rapids
#

the female demons on the 2nd las boss in cathe hit me for 28k with their knockback each

fierce juniper
#

sweet, thanks

signal plover
#

Oof

exotic rapids
#

and we didnΒ΄t get past medive

signal plover
#

Was the DPS in the group's decent?

exotic rapids
#

I would say so yes

primal crypt
#

Rogues are pumpin right now whew

#

Never had threat issues

wanton sentinel
#

Strip 50%, strip commas/periods, then tonumber the captured match. I was hacking on your WA last night by sheer coincidence as I wanted a progress bar (current out of casted IP) instead of an icon

exotic rapids
#

ofc you can cc etc but atm you have to learn to handle a lot of stuff anew

vocal nimbus
#

Ifeel like bolster is going to get nerfed

#

Last stand on 2 min cd being reduced by AM and blocking everything for 15 sec?

#

I felt really strong while dungeoning

strong forum
#

We need it to be strong lul

#

It literally answers everything a tank needs, and what warri lacks in some departments

#

If we didn't have it as we do we would be considerably weaker

livid tendon
#

I tried yesterday during argus and i think it did count but does last stand with the talent count as AM as in can you crit block the scythes or w.e

strong forum
#

Yes

#

It's the same as shield block but 15sec

#

Your block rate gets increased by 100% flat

vocal nimbus
#

Its a block with chances to crit

#

The tooltip says that it just blocks

#

If you were to critblock for 15 sec that would be too broken

strong forum
#

🀦 your block chance increases by 100%, you can literally check it on your character panel.

#

So why would it behave differently

vocal nimbus
#

He asked if those blocks were guaranteed crit blocks

strong forum
#

No

#

"can you critblock"

vocal nimbus
#

Managing cds trusting that a block will crit during a fight its pretty reckless, I would not use last stand hoping to crit

strong forum
#

So... You don't want to use last stand on the off chance you get a lucky block instead of at least 100% block chance

vocal nimbus
#

I dont want to only use last stand if i would survive only if its block from the bolster talent would crit

uneven mason
#

0_o

strong forum
#

That doesn't make any sense

amber siren
#

Wtf is going on

strong forum
#

Last stand = Shield Block

uneven mason
#

WTB Cataclysm rollover block?

strong forum
#

But longer

vocal nimbus
#

If i know that i will only survive with a crit block if i only pop LS how it doesnt make sense not using LS only?

uneven mason
#

That would be nice

strong forum
#

You can't guarantee critblocks anymore

uneven mason
#

If you're low enough or in a situation

strong forum
#

So what's your point

uneven mason
#

where only a crit block + 30% Heal + 30% higher health pool would save you

strong forum
#

Every critblock is random

uneven mason
#

someone fucked up

#

cause you're about to take 50% of your normal health pool in damage

vocal nimbus
#

He asked about using LS as AM to crit block the scythes

uneven mason
#

through a block?

strong forum
#

Yes

uneven mason
#

Yeah

strong forum
#

If SB is on CD you use LS for blocking those

vocal nimbus
#

Iwouldnt use LS as AM to crit block the scythes

uneven mason
#

You'd want to use it on the latter end of your scyths

amber siren
#

????

strong forum
#

So you wouldn't use anything

#

Nice

uneven mason
#

You use your 2 charges of shield block for the first 3

vocal nimbus
#

I would use LS with something else

uneven mason
#

combined with DS

strong forum
#

Why

vocal nimbus
#

Because maybe he wont survive with a bse block

uneven mason
#

I mean on mythic you're only going to take 4 scyths anyway

strong forum
#

Well ofc then you use smth else

vocal nimbus
#

That was what i was saying

strong forum
#

He didn't ask if LS was enough

vocal nimbus
#

Not to use LS hoping that the blocl will crit

amber siren
#

This is so off from the original question

#

I don't understand

strong forum
#

He asked if it worked LS as AM

#

Yes it does

#

That's it

#

He didn't ask if it was enough for 3rd scythe

vocal nimbus
#

He asked it crit blocks tho 🀷

amber siren
#

It can

#

It's AM

vocal nimbus
#

If it*

strong forum
#

Yes and I answered

#

So what were you on about

uneven mason
#

Ah...

vocal nimbus
#

His question was not clear about if he was asling if the blocks were guaranteed crits or not

#

I just said they werent

strong forum
#

It was in my eyes

vocal nimbus
#

And you started picking on me

uneven mason
#

So 1. yes, it counts as AM (because block is our AM) The blocks from Bolster are the same % chance to critically block as any other block we perform

strong forum
#

Which exactly what I said

uneven mason
#

We have no way to force Critical Blocks

#

unless we find some jewel of a massive mastery on use trinket in BFA

vocal nimbus
#

@fierce juniper Thanks for the IP WA super chief

I'm amazed you can even do any of this WA stuff with coding or w/e it is

Don't be mean to marok

He tries his best

#

burnt tusk
#

@fierce juniper wow thanks, sounds like that was some work?

strong forum
#

It was a compliment cojo

uneven mason
#

Paw, you leave Nomers alone

signal plover
#

Ikar leave paw alone

#

He tries his best

fierce juniper
#

little bit, but im glad i did it
it fixes potential future issues as well

uneven mason
#

Don't be all jealous because he's like, liked here

signal plover
#

I just wanna be cute again

uneven mason
#

Someone needs some bear memes

burnt tusk
#

@fierce juniper Awesome πŸ˜ƒ

#

I'll try it in a second

signal plover
#

Thank for IP WA tho

fierce juniper
#

i plan to add a couple options eventually
one that only shows whole number values for the absorb
and another that just shows the percentage of the cap you're at

strong forum
#

Uuh

#

Fancy

vocal nimbus
#

Btw bolster doesnt give bonus damage to SS right?

fierce juniper
#

nope

strong forum
#

No

#

Imagine t21 2p being tied to LS. Lul

vocal nimbus
#

Has 2p been fixed?

strong forum
#

No, it won't be

burnt tusk
fierce juniper
#

sweet

native shore
#

Is it looking like prot is doing okay for m+s?

tulip arch
#

Are you planning on just continuing to pull the castIP from the tooltip in the future, or go back to trying to manually calculate it?

#

I've been trying to make an IP bar for myself and it's been a headache to try and get the exact numebrs

fierce juniper
#

I think I'll just pull it from the tooltip. Azerite stuff can be calculated on top when/if necessary.

tulip arch
#

This certainly seems easier

fierce juniper
#

yeah

#

trying to calculate it is a pain

#

only concern is that they'll change something and the tooltip will be incorrect

#

but for the moment it seems accurate

uneven mason
#

Well

#

isn't there a missing value in the IP calculation

#

its not perfectly on the dot with what the spell data says, theres like a < 1% variance πŸ˜„

#

programmers love miniscule variance

#

cause its hard to find whats causing it

tulip arch
#

Yes, "love"

#

lol

uneven mason
#

chances are some where in the scaling data from before the squish there is a value that is being truncated at a smaller decimal value than the others

silk mortar
#

@native shore We are doing great for m+

modest notch
#

am i dumb or does tier 21 2 piece do nothing now?

livid tendon
#

i asked if it can crit block not if its guaranteed crit block ??

amber siren
#

T21 is broken yeah

#

2pc is

#

4pc is really good

modest notch
#

ok so 4 piece still worth it over ilvl upgrades?

amber siren
#

Depends on ilvl difference but currently 4pc stacks IP when it shouldn't

#

So it's p good

silk mortar
#

4p is op

modest notch
#

nice

silk mortar
#

not really good πŸ˜‰

amber siren
#

😘

fierce juniper
#

If 4 set remains as it is we'll probably be wearing it in BfA lol

amber siren
#

Next expansion CoF

uneven mason
#

you mean like the T13 4p?

#

going into Mists being the warrior asked to use that ftw

#

30% damage reduction for the whole raid!

molten radish
#

Isn't 4pc tied to battle cry?

uneven mason
#

no

#

thats 2p

#

which is wy 2p is broken

#

4p is "BOROKEN"

molten radish
#

Ah lol

uneven mason
#

in that it ignores the cap on IP stacks

#

so you cast IP once every 12 seconds and have perminate 50% reduction

primal crypt
#

I keep forgetting to cast devastate T.t

uneven mason
#

me too

primal crypt
#

Like....its so trash lol

#

That my brain doesn't make me press it

molten radish
#

Yeah I switched off devastator also

primal crypt
#

Would it be devastating to just not use it?lololololol

amber siren
#

🀦

primal crypt
#

πŸ˜‚

#

I apologize

signal plover
#

Also yes gotta use it

#

Especially ST

primal crypt
#

I know I know :(

#

I just really dislike it

compact sigil
#

prot does feel good in mplus tho

signal plover
#

It does yeah

#

Some things hit like a truck

#

But overall felt fun

compact sigil
#

lol, when pre-patch first hit, i was like, lets go try this bad boy out

#

went to the bigger tanking dummy in the orderhall

sick sentinel
#

in dungeons is fun

compact sigil
#

guy like 3 shot me

signal plover
#

Yo that WW needs to touch of karma better

primal crypt
#

Oh nah

compact sigil
#

I had a funny lower kara experience, it was a 14, tried to solo the shared suffering with Shield Wall, Attunesman was like nah b, not today

primal crypt
#

What is that dps

sick sentinel
#

that is overall dungeon

primal crypt
#

That ww needs to learn to press buttons better

silk mortar
#

Prot warriors are good however

#

Not easy

#

For others to keep up

signal plover
#

Ya but WW should have no issue

primal crypt
#

^

signal plover
#

We have spicy dmg

primal crypt
#

They're stupid good

signal plover
#

But they have Indian spicy dmg

primal crypt
#

Monk/fury/rog

compact sigil
#

the gauntlets and belt along with avatar make thunderclap feel pretty good

primal crypt
#

Should have zero issues

vocal nimbus
#

If thats overall damage those 3 dps kinda suck

primal crypt
vocal nimbus
#

Prot warr does fine in m+ but mass grip will still be the strongest i guess

#

Tank meta is more about improving the group's damage and healing

swift willow
#

WW aoe got gutted tho

sick sentinel
#

still decent damage

#

outlaw is doing better imo better damage and rogue utility

signal plover
#

I think it's more about it being like ppls 1st real day of playing changed classes

crude pond
#

"
Avatar should be cast on cooldown as well. It is worth delaying Demoralizing Shout by a few seconds if Avatar is about to come off cooldown. Do not delay Avatar for Demoralizing Shout.
"

Does it mean that I can delay DS for seconds and use DS right after Avatar?
Only for damage? I don't see any survivability gain from it..

primal crypt
#

Add control is just so important in m+

signal plover
#

I would use DS before Avatar so u don't waste a GCD

vocal nimbus
#

I wouldnt

#

You get a full ds inside avatar

#

You dont the other way around

crude pond
#

only for damage, right?

#

any survivability gain?

signal plover
#

Well DS is damage reduction so that

vocal nimbus
#

Its only for damage gain @crude pond

#

If you are going to die without ds alwys cast ds

signal plover
#

I guess DS in avatar does make sense too

crude pond
#

I mean
delaying DS for seconds seem to decrease survivability, not increase it

vocal nimbus
#

Delaying DS is to increase damage

signal plover
#

It's for damage gain

vocal nimbus
#

Its like DS and BC in legion

#

You could cast DS before having BC

#

Because you would still get a full BC inside DS even if you casted it beforehand

#

Now if you cast DS beforehand you waste some GCDs without avatar

crude pond
#

yeah I got it

vocal nimbus
#

But if you only want to survive just cast DS on cd

crude pond
#

thanks guys

uneven mason
#

it lines up almost perfectly with Avatar most times anyway?

#

45s/90s

#

casting avatar first because it has the longer CD (and thus will be available first in the cycle) makes the most sense

vocal nimbus
#

Yeah

#

I have one DS between avatars

#

almost always

uneven mason
#

right

primal crypt
#

Lol wtf....i had no idea demo shout was part of our rotation now

uneven mason
#

Dude its like

#

a 20s CD with CM

primal crypt
#

That cool down is so short wtf

vocal nimbus
#

Demo is a 45 sec cd reduced with AM

uneven mason
#

AM~

solid sun
#

I really got pummeled in a 14 maw last night. It did not feel good. :(

primal crypt
#

I literally just noticed the demo cd

uneven mason
#

Tyrranical is rough when your healers are used to tanks not taking damage

vocal nimbus
#

Downside is that SS doesnt generate extra rage while DS is up

#

I can live with that tho 🀷

primal crypt
#

Yolo? That 40 rage

solid sun
#

I made plenty if mistakes myself, though. So I gotta own some of the fail

primal crypt
#

Every couple globals

#

I legit thought my UI was broken

uneven mason
#

but you're going to be doing TC/SS/TC/IP/TC/SS/IP any way...

#

liike during avatar is the only time I come close to capping rage

#

so its a defensive CD because it lets us just dump into IP pretty regular

crystal night
#

Anywhere we can see where specific azerte traits drop? Wow head?

primal crypt
#

My demo shout is up every 10 sec ahahahaha

vocal nimbus
#

Still cant be looked up

primal crypt
#

This is crazy

vocal nimbus
#

Azerite gear will drop from m+0, weekly cache, pvp caches and raids

solid sun
#

I've gotten used to the increased DS usage and the GCD changes are starting to feel more familiar.

Avatar is what throws me off the most. For some reason not being accustomed to the icon is just making me forget about it

#

It's like my brain just remembers no more BC

#

And it's like welp okay that's it

brave quail
#

yeah i agree

primal crypt
#

#

@primal crypt there's a trait that makes our T-clap extend demo shout debuf durations

primal crypt
#

@crystal night but I'm saying the fact that we're able to cast demo again almost 4 seconds before the debuff falls off feels crazy

#

I'm swimming in rage even without taking any hits right now lol

@uneven mason so you don't really bother with SB?

I'm sure he shield blocks 24/7

How to not

At first, but you get pretty used to it.

eh im doing a H toS on my lower geared warrior alt

uneven mason

Dan where would wat?

#

Why would you take away that I don't use SB?

next goblet

and im gettin shredded

uneven mason

SB isn't on the GCD

so I don't have to account for GCDs to use it

@next goblet ToS is overtuned at the moment

nearly everything is overtuned

Like legit nearly everything is overtuned? The first and 3rd bosses in Maw were hitting me SO HARD

woot

tawny panther

I didn't realise it's not on gcd , didn't get much time yesterday and not at all today. And your little rotation. Makes sense if it's ogcd. Which is super obvious since it's AM now I've thought for half a second...

primal crypt
#

The add below doesn't spawn balls right now

#

So you can't come back out

#

And on KJ if you die you can't rez

#

You have to reload with the help I'm stuck

And it kicks you out

Like after combat

?

primal crypt
#

Yeah

#

Just stuck dead

solid sun

loooooool

Can't release lol

The inquisition is the best part

Can't hearth cause you getting beat

Pretty solid patch

uneven mason

We had to 4 Tank dogs in HC ABT last night

cause they were just melting our tanks

we even stacked an extra healer for more externals

and we still had 2 of the 4 die around 20%

these are 250+ geared folks

@uneven mason yup

okay so its not just me having issues lol

Portal Keeper was another one

I can't wait to try Coven

Anyone done mythic Argus on prepatch yet?

primal crypt
#

@hard wyvern there are logs up

uneven mason
#

We were going to do mythic lastnight

next goblet
#

i do like how rough tanking is now lol

primal crypt
#

So people are doing it

uneven mason
#

but after we heard about heroic dogs

#

w e figured we go easy and get everyone acclimated to who inflexible they are

hard wyvern
#

Yeah, I mean anyone here do it yet. I haven't even logged on since last week

uneven mason
#

I think every oen of our 3 restro druids interrupted Tranq at least once a fight

#

because you can't move while Tranquing anymore

primal crypt

@uneven mason LOLOLOL

hard wyvern
#

Wanted to see if 4 sycthes is still doable

primal crypt
#

My wife was raging

solid sun
#

Ikarikaze, do you not tank for your group?

primal crypt
#

Because of tranq change

uneven mason
#

I was going too

#

but after we saw logs on doggos

#

we decided to let the 252 Warrior do it

hard wyvern
#

Dogs still stackable on mythic?

uneven mason
#

nfc

#

haven't done mythic yet

#

that'll be next week

#

I'm only 238 on my current warrior

#

since I faction swapped and decided to dust off my original warrior from back in Vanilla - WOTLK

#

I felt too squishy to even attempt to hold the dogs for more than the time for the DOT to drop

#

thats how bad they were tuned

next goblet
#

well at least on DI the inside drops orbs now

#

that group was bad lol

primal crypt
#

nice hotfix timing blizz

#

best

next goblet
#

lol

#

i wonder if they hotfixed chromatic sword drops

spice mortar
#

can someone tell me

#

where the improvement on prot is

robust bronze
#

When do you guys think 4pc bonus will get nerfed btw?

chrome harbor
#

Probably not, prepatch content in an old expansion? No one cares about that enough to balance

signal plover
#

@spice mortar idk what you're looking for as far as improvement because the spec is different now. Tanks in general have changed but prot remains a pretty solid performer. The prepatch is a weird time because all of the content you're doing was balanced around Legion design

#

We lost the massive rage gen IP spam battle cry SS blast off playstyle.

primal crypt
#

@signal plover but we gained demo shout spam rage

#

so it's not bad πŸ˜„

signal plover
#

But imo we're in a good spot outside of a few gripes (ST rage gen, IP on GCD)

#

Demo with warmode and open world is pretty silly yeah

Stay away from Upper karazan fyi

ty for the awesome stuff marok!

HEY big question

#

can we no longer use the angels to do a free WQ every day?

cosmic cargo
#

nope

junior ivy
#

why not 😦

olive wigeon
#

459k raw damage and 12k block πŸ€”

timid jay
#

Block is calculated just like armor now but it uses block rating instead of armor

#

Basically, get higher block rating and you'll block more

olive wigeon
#

nowadays its ~35% on non critical blocks?

timid jay
#

Depends entirely on your shield ilvl

cosmic cargo
#

also block is calculated after armor

#

so looking at raw damage is kinda silly

timid jay
#

It doesnt matter since all DR's are multiplicative

cosmic cargo
#

actually nvm

timid jay
#

Its the same end result

cosmic cargo
#

you're right

olive wigeon
#

so roughly math is RAW * armor * block?

sick sentinel
#

@wanton sentinel is that the marok IP? and btw how do you do that black stroke around all the things

cosmic cargo
#

yes

timid jay
#

Raw damage * armor DR * block * versa * any CD's * avoidance if applicable

olive wigeon
#

ty

timid jay
#

Basically Raw damage * (1-DR%) *(1-DR%) *(1-DR%)and so on

#

Where you just plop in all the % dr

uneven mason
#

Block is last in line basically, so uh it stops the lowest "value" but because its all multiplication it doesn't matter in the end.

#

If it was first, you'd see block stopping 189,000 but the damage in the end being exactly the same

#

I mean, if you had 40% block

crude pond
#

my block rating is 33% and I can reduce damage by 44% when blocked. I think it's same as 7/7 bastion before

uneven mason
#

yeah it has the same scale as armor now

#

with Block rating being 1.5x your shields armor (i think)

timid jay
#

Block follows the same as armor now block rating / (block rating + K)

uneven mason
#

k being some assinged number given to NPCs

timid jay
#

Crit blocks being double dr ,not rating

uneven mason
#

thank god

timid jay
#

With a cap on 85%

uneven mason
#

that was a mess

timid jay
#

The K for legion bosses is roughly 2109

olive wigeon
#

Anyways cant understand how block on 3th scythe which hit for 320k without SW and other's CD can block only 23k?

timid jay
#

Its all % based

#

And add in crit block that will make numbers bounce around a lot

olive wigeon
#

320ΠΊ * (1-55% armor) * (1 - 70% critical block) seems more than 12k

uneven mason
#

did you have DS?

#

going

#

on any of the others

uneven mason
#

you had shield wall

#

so yeah

#

that'll take another chunk out

#

like I said

#

block is calculated "last" in the redundant order

#

throwing shield wall up

#

took another chunk out of play

timid jay
#

Shield wall wasnt up for the one at 4:47

uneven mason
#

sec

#

graphs were not alinged

olive wigeon
#

(B: 23318) very weird number

uneven mason
#

thats a crit block

#

thought you were asking why you took less on the other 2 after that one

timid jay
#

Cant say I've looked into the conversions for rating to % at 110

#

Without those numbers its a bit hard to make the calculations unless you tell me the % of versa DR and avoidance

strong forum
#

you took devastator and punish?

#

huh

wanton sentinel
#

@sick sentinel yes, same underlying calculations as Marok’s, but adapted to be a progress bar. The black outline is just a border display setting.

#

I also share the calculated state so it’s CPU friendly

olive wigeon
#

@strong forum its not me, just looking logs

strong forum
#

oh

crude pond
#

Is Kakushan still powerful leggo without Devastator?

strong forum
#

seems so

#

on ST atleast

#

wouldnt say so in dungeons imo

uneven mason

So yeah I mean that log doesn't look that unusual

crude pond
#

and bracers suck?

uneven mason
#

they're not the best

strong forum
#

yup

uneven mason
#

I mean, they do "Something" but since we don't plow 6000 rage per minute anymore

strong forum
#

good for world content, but any situation where you have a healer they dont do alot

uneven mason
#

we can't self sustain them with

junior ivy
#

so like

#

should i use 4pc?

uneven mason
#

yes

#

IP is precious

#

the 4p bypasses the stacking limitation on IP

#

not sure if its still broken tho

strong forum
#

i'd say play without it tbh

#

you're gonna get a wrong impression on warrior going into bfa

uneven mason
#

Oh even with it

#

overtuned bosses are melting tanks

#

gives quite the right impression

strong forum
#

yea well

crude pond
#

lol

junior ivy
#

wait what

#

im confused

#

so do i use 4pc or not

uneven mason
#

If you're sacrificing a ton of ilvl no

strong forum
#

wait what, orderhall missions that reward order resources... LUL

uneven mason
#

Just like they did in WOD!

junior ivy
#

i dunno if id be safricving

#

i dont understand ilvl anymore

#

😦

uneven mason
#

ilvl is a numbe on your gear

strong forum
#

230 is heroic gear

uneven mason
#

it tells you the "Budget" for that piece of gear

strong forum
#

250 is mythic

#

iirc

uneven mason
#

higher ilvl = more stats

#

since ARmor and stam and str are goodies for Protection warriors, we generally want ot use the highest ilvl pieces we have

#

regardless of what they have

#

however, the 4p with how it WAS working (dunno if they fixed it) would probably be worth a 5ilvl drop avg to use

#

mebbie 10

crude pond
#

isn't 4pc pretty overpowered now?

uneven mason
#

Yeah

junior ivy
#

this is my current ilvl

uneven mason
#

but I wouldn't expect it to stay not fixed

junior ivy
#

lemme put on 4pc and see what my new ilvl is

#

this is with 4pc

crude pond
#

so you're pretty sure that it's some sort of bugs

merry cave
#

I don't think they'll nerf 4pce just like they aren't fixing things like our 2pfe and multiple legos that are use spells no longer in game

crude pond
#

4pc breaking the IP cap

uneven mason
#

use the 4p

junior ivy
#

ok ty i will use it

merry cave
#

Just don't go bragging on official forums

primal crypt

definitely use the 4p

#

what morg said

uneven mason

I'm pretty sure its a bug

although

they've "bugged" things before

to bandaid

what they knew was broken

this is a nice bandaid

I like it πŸ˜„

uneven mason

its required right now

its making us survivable

until they tune the bosses in ABT

is 245 a good ilvl?

if you get a 100 parse on day 1 does it stay on your profile forever

I believe kihra said when next tier comes out he will revert the page to show pre artifact stuff as default

will warmode even do anyhting?

Your CRZ'd with uh Stormreaver and Kel'thuzad

I know this, because I'm on Stormreaver and thats the main 2 servers I have to murder alliance from

i feel liek i should have known this, but i cant make groups for wqs anymore?

or join them?

timid jay
#

Checking it out atm

junior ivy
#

ok one last question, i dunno what my rotation even is without devestator..

#

do i use thunder clap on single target ever?

#

how about revenge?

waxen cradle
#

Definitely use TClap on ST as it resets your SSlam now and grants 6 rage

junior ivy
#

its been s olong since i played without devestator 😦

strong forum
#

you use Devastate if you have nothing else to press

#

SS and TC on CD

junior ivy
#

so SS is priority, then revenge, then thunderclap, then devestate?

waxen cradle
#

Revenge when its free and that's about it, and like Nomeratur said if nothing else to use devastate

sick sentinel
#

i would only use revenge if its free or im about to cap

junior ivy
#

when is it free

crude pond
#

ss > tc > free revenge > devastate

junior ivy
#

isnt that a talent

#

a talenht that makes it sometimes free?

#

do i even have that talent?

waxen cradle
#

No

junior ivy
#

or is it built in no?

#

now*

plain vapor

its built in

#

always has been

junior ivy

how do i know when its free?

plain vapor
#

it will have a yellow border that glwos

crude pond

it has some effect on screen too

junior ivy
#

i need a weakaura for this

#

does anyone know a good one?

crude pond
#

no you can clearly see them

plain vapor
#

your screen will have an effect

junior ivy
#

i dont pay attention to my screen

timid jay
#

These numbers make no sense

waxen cradle
#

If your gonna cap then you can use revenge not free but with the bugged/OP 4 piece that will not be a issue

timid jay

πŸ€”

plain vapor

how do you play the game then

#

?????

junior ivy
#

im a clicker 😦

#

i look at my action bars

so i guess if it glows

thatll be enough

ok wait what is vengeance

isnt that the talent that makes revenge somerimes free?

#

sometimes

plain vapor
#

no

waxen cradle

I watch my Weak Aura's and play with one hand because now with the GCD change my other hand is "busy"

junior ivy
#

is vengeance still a thing

#

sorry im super confused

waxen cradle
#

just kidding

timid jay
#

Blocking is roughly 26.8% DR and crit blocking 72.2%

plain vapor
#

when you cast revenge it makes the next ignore pain cost less rage. and when you cast ignore pain it makes the next revenge cost less

timid jay
#

πŸ€”

uneven mason
#

Revenge is free after a parry or dodge, no talent needed

plain vapor
#

so you weave the two together like a combo

junior ivy
#

so what was vengeance?

uneven mason
#

What Krook said

waxen cradle
#

A thing as in you "can" use it but booming voice is WAY better

plain vapor
#

its a talent

#

with demo shout being a 45 second CD booming voice is just way too good

uneven mason
#

Vengeance is situationally equal to BV, but in all situations BV is better, if that makes sense πŸ˜‰

plain vapor
#

when paired with anger management

junior ivy
#

but even without vengeance.. revenfe is sometimes free?

plain vapor
#

yes

#

its built in

junior ivy
#

has that alwyas been the case?

plain vapor
#

highlight over the spell and itll say

#

yes

uneven mason
#

Yes

junior ivy
#

i have never paid any attention to revenge sometimes being free

#

i used it when i felt like using it

uneven mason
#

🀦

waxen cradle
#

plus with the Thundergods Vigor leggo Demo shout is off CD so much there pretty much no reason to not use it

junior ivy
#

wait am i supposed to be using different leggos since prepatch?

plain vapor
#

gloves/belt will be the goto

coral dew
#

Returning noob question: what does leggo mean

plain vapor
#

cant really make much use of the bracers IMO

#

used the pants last night for the extra shield block on argus lol

junior ivy
#

waittt

#

why not gloves/wrists?

waxen cradle
#

I use Gloves and Belt because extra damage and rage from using devastate why not ? and the belts interaction with demo shout keeps its already short CD pretty much at damn near no CD

#

^ that would be why

plain vapor
#

playstyle is more slower

junior ivy
#

but if i wanna use wrists i can?

#

i need pants slot for tier

plain vapor
#

sure but i found that the self healing rate is a lot slower than it was before

#

because cant spam ignore pain as much

waxen cradle
#

Wrists are helpful in higher M+ as heals are less purely focused on you, but for raiding use the gloves and belt

timid jay
#

Ok

#

Something is definitely acting up with block at the moment

uneven mason
#

?

#

numbars?

timid jay
#

Either they changed it with prepatch compared to beta or theres a bug somewhere

waxen cradle

You have my attention

@coral dew leggo = legendary gears

So Cosma

whats the news

I'm getting block values ranging from 22% to 86%

from the same enemy

uneven mason
#

do you have a mastery trinket?

timid jay
#

no

waxen cradle
#

enemies of matching level ?

timid jay

Mastery is only supposed to increase block chance anyway, not block value

uneven mason
#

too true

#

whats your block on your shield?

junior ivy

omg i hate when all the trianing dummies are busyt being used in skyhold

Gonna run some testing and see if I can figure it out, I have some theories

where can i find others?

1135

well my block value is 1020%

plain vapor

garrison cat

strong forum
#

seems a little bit off

#

just a little bit

waxen cradle
#

I only ask because the system adjusts it based off enemies of matching level and as there is no enemies in game yet beyond 113 it should not go down

grim prism
#

@timid jay what are you thinking is the problem? Improper variability in the block chance, or being at one value which is inaccurate?

#

Oh I see

#

Block values not chance

timid jay
#

Gonna run some values to test it

waxen cradle
#

What are you testing the value against Cosmo ?

grim prism
#

I just came back yesterday and got shrecked by the minor dummy

So I'm pretty curious to know what the tuning issues may be

waxen cradle

The minor dummy or the elite one Balsaq

timid jay
#

Random 110 mob

waxen cradle
#

The elite one rekt the shit out of me

uneven mason

so you should be around 35% block mitigation

the minor one hurt as well though I agree

I am thinking it is just a bug I cannot say for sure, but I also do not think they would break our block value now of all times. I mean what else do we have

IP might be OP because of the 4 piece right now but I can assure you it is not OP on the beta

#

It feels horrible to even press

#

But its not like you have a choice

i found a weakaura for free revenge on wago io πŸ˜„

#

and it was made by @shut summit !!

#

and its perfect

#

and i love it

#

and i added a punch sound to it

#

so now i will always use revenge when free

#

So yes saying what else do we have for now is a incorrect statement to make, but come BFA it will not feel awesome to press IP anymore

are there other skills that can replace battle shout?

uneven mason
#

no

#

warriors get the only 10% attack buff

#

might be scrolls

crude pond
#

I love that

uneven mason
#

in BFA

waxen cradle
#

There are scrolls

uneven mason
#

the scrolls are all like 80% of the effect

#

of the buff they mimic

#

at least

I think inscription makes them I am not sure but yeah its like using Drums of Fury instead of lust as a compare

uneven mason

k died at 11 stacks again, block value / chance didnt change at all

waxen cradle
#

Its clearly a situation of take a scroll if you cannot create a group that supplies all the buffs like dungeons

#

But in the last Q and A I think they said after adding back class buffs they had already decided they did not like the feel of it again so class buffs may not survive BFA

#

and died at 3 stacks at greater sparring partner

#

Well after BFA to be exact

strong forum
#

dunno if the information is anything worth

#
