Armor enchant

strong forum
#

we dont take haste cuz its an issue

#

we take haste cuz its out best stat offensive and defensive

#

more haste = more rage = more CD reduction

#

I'm only sitting on 1k haste atm

#

feels kinda low

strong forum

same as i am

Thoughts on which one?

ember arrow
#

second one id say

prisma crane
#

topaz ember
#

i also got a 340 ticking clock

ember arrow
#

reliable strength=armor

prisma crane
#

also, ppl tend to be bad with use trinkets

#

but if used properly, quite strong

ember arrow
#

finally no more stat sticks

#

it was weird thatwas a thing

#

it was basically a piece of armor

prisma crane
#

they're stat sticks, just not static

#

it's the same shit over the course of an encounter

ember arrow
#

ye sure

#

but its not static

#

what u said

prisma crane
#

meh, i almost prefer static

#

since you often can't adjust around procs anyways since sitting on CDs is a waste

#

but yes, super boring

jovial reef
#

make sure that the proc is actually giving you the correct stats

#

ppl reported it giving like 100 haste OR mastery

strong forum
#

well ye

#

its supposed to give you crit or mastery

jovial reef
#

yeah but 100 instead of 500 etc

#

as an example

strong forum
#

ah

jovial reef
#

i haven't tried it myself

vagrant cape

The clock trinket says haste or mastery, not crit

You think it's worth buying the boots if I have the BoE set shield

Question: BoE Oswain's Impassive Guard 350 with 45 Avoidance.. ideally how much would something like that run

I just bought one for 175

but it depends on the server

trying to get the boots

for like 150

How good is meticulous scheming as a trait?

man I do have absolutely fat dps in mythics as prot

yup

the boe shield goes for 300-650k here.

im sorry i missed if someone responded to my post earlier. did anyone make a Spell reflect wa like in legion for bfa?

there isn't a compiled list of sr spells yet

No wa, but there's a spreadsheet in the pins

oh wow there is too, never saw it

how good is that haste only boe ring

sick sentinel

you mean the mastery?

#

nah there is a haste one

plain vapor
hallow bluff
#

is prot as bad at mythic+ as everybody is saying or is that overexaggerated?

signal plover
#

Who is everybody

#

Cuz I'm pretty sure no one here is saying that

#

And yeah that trinket is bad, it's a channel lol

sick sentinel
#

If you compare us to dk tank/monk tank /dh tank then sure we are bad

#

doesn't mean we will get buffed before or after raid.

fluid beacon
#

Having a little problem. 350 Wrists with Crit - Vers and 50 leech but I just got 340 wrists with Haste and Vers..... the 350s are probably better yea?

#

the ilvl , strength and leech are too powerful to drop it all for more haste?

sick sentinel
#

too bad you can't sim it 🤔

amber siren
#

ilvl before stats

sick sentinel
#

prot warriors want one thing, and it's disgusting

prime owl
#

I'm sure this is asked pretty regularly, I'm not a regular in the prot channel, but is there any such thing as a dps sim for a prot warrior?

#

not for mitigation but for throughput

fluid beacon
#

sim? i didnt think sims would show defensive stats

#

i never really checked before since I main fury

prime owl
#

nah, for flat out damage

#

we're the premiere damage dealing tank now, so I want to maximize output as prot

#

prep for M+

fluid beacon
#

well for flat damage the 350 crit vers will be superior im sure

#

alright

#

thanks Kahuna

prime owl
#

wasn't really directly related to your Q, was kinda a question of my own

#

leech might make it worth it, but haste is a big deal

#

don't have a way to sim it though

#

not to mention strength is mitigation, nowadays

amber siren
#

yeah rn there's no way to sim prot war dps

dark fossil
#

That's a pretty weak leech. I'd say the iLvl is enough by itself. More strength, (parry), more stamina, and that beautiful haste.

so I just got a super titanforge trinket that I dont see on the guide cause...super titanforge. Is this thing any good for tanking? It looks like it'd be decent. https://ibb.co/e5i9DK

I'd say it's good for tanking, and it's among the best possible DPS trinkets on both specs IIRC

Does anyone have a WA for Callous Reprisal on adds?

@tight tree Same

limpid jackal

Is blacksmithing wroth it atm?

#

or is it bad like almost every other xpac?

tight tree
#

Well it depends. BS making good monies onow selling crafted gear. This will stop soon.

limpid jackal
#

I just meant for gearing up

#

I'm pretty far behind

#

Just hit 120

tight tree
#

Not worth it imo then, you can gear real fast from WQuests and heroics/mythics

#

If you have good group, you can run mythics @300-ish ilevel

#

If not, run some heroics first, watch WQs for upgrades

limpid jackal
#

Thanks

sick sentinel
#

@tight tree is it even good? I saw blockades for 38k on my server :p

undone sun
#

it's good for the strength it offers, the effect is still pretty mediocre

sick sentinel
#

yea but there are trinkets 340 str + haste proc

#

I guess better

cinder nova
#

For survival it's a bit more than mediocre

#

but only for that.

#

However it'll get replaced probably in udlir

vast agate
#

is azerite veins strong enough that I should prioritize it over out ring traits like brace for impact or iron fortess?

modern fox
#

How long did it take to get prot hidden artifact weapon?

undone sun
#

3 hours for me, but that was before it was fixed

sick sentinel
#

10mins for me : P

#

just spammed /reload before it was fixed

modern fox
#

I’m trying daily, 6 weeks so far rip

tight tree
#

Got it 1st day i went in, after the fix. Just lucky i guess.

#

And now i cannot use it because stupid transmog rules. Wanted to use shield with different weapon, because i hate the mace. Opted for using WoD challenge mode shield instead (well it is a slab of metal more like)

ember crest
#

does anyone know if Marok has a pawn stat scale for import?

undone sun
#

pawn is far from ideal to use for tanks
Defensively you can't sims survivability and offensively we don't have working sims

ah, i haven't played in a long time and that was the case back when i played, thanks

#

Do we have a spreadsheet or other documentation on which Mythic dungeon trash abilities are spell reflectable available by chance?

yeah, it's in the pins

#

Hmm didn't notice the trash mob section in the corner initially, thx.

severe steeple
#

oh so they reduced the Artifact lvl required for some traits with a hotfix

#

but not for armor that you already had

#

that was a hotfix some days ago

#

i equiped armor same ilvl and had second trait open was like wtf

undone sun
#

it reduced on armor i already had

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

cinder pasture
#

It fixed it for armor that I already had,

severe steeple
#

maybe im wrong

#

the armor i have second trait unlocked is from todays emmisarry

#

my other chest needs 18 for second trait at 340ilvl

#

and third trait is at 21 vs 22

ok first flask batch with 3 start recipe

Cant wait to cap tthe so much fun expeditions again

idk if that's sarcasm but I think the expeditions are fun

#

would really like to get a coordinated team together and see what we can do

vocal nimbus
#

it was sarcasm :C

amber siren
#

I had someone call me a monkey for not knowing what I was doing in my first, felt real bad PepeHands

ember dagger
#

the wow community sure is great isn't it

amber siren
#

one day i will be good

floral hatch
#

@ember dagger I think a coordinated team is the only way to enioy them. Right now it feels like a weekly chore.

ember dagger
#

sure I can understand that

floral hatch
#

I think pvp, with a team could make it a really fun game mode.

ember dagger
#

but this week my random teams are way more competant than last weeks

#

I forget who was saying it

#

but they were saying that island expeditions if done right could be kinda like M+

#

with how popular M+ is

floral hatch
#

If the rewards were there.

#

I agree there is potential to the game mode.

#

From a pvp aspect.

ember dagger
#

yeajh

floral hatch
#

I don't believe ranked expeditions are outside the realm of possibility.

#

The pve element would allow certain roles to shine that dont get their time in arenas.

ember dagger
#

Definitely

coral agate
#

top of the morning to ya'll. 😃 I just got en azerite with my 2 deafening crah trait.. so my question is.. do the traits stack?

ember dagger
floral hatch
#

@coral agate just the damage. Run one piece.

ember dagger
#

Long answer is DC trait only stacks damage

#

every other trait stacks though

coral agate
#

so no point in taking 2 DC? hmm the other trait is Ruinous bolt

amber siren
#

DC does good damage still

ember dagger
#

damage is still great if you're running "THE BUILD"

smoky wave
#

I'm loving island expeditions. Not tried is as prot yet though purely because I like smooshing the alliance npcs too much.

ember dagger
#

You'd be surprised how much dmg you can do lol

coral agate
#

only doing prot in 5 man so far.. and usuealtyy TC is by far the biggest dmg dealer

cinder pasture
#

I was doing something like 12k dps as prot during the one I did last week. So much fun 😛

ember dagger
#

now in actual PvP idk how good we are

coral agate
#

what is this "the build" u speak of? 😃 im running atm 1,2,2,3,2,1,1

ember dagger
#

pins

#

but yeah that's THE BUILD

coral agate
#

ok 😃

#

whats ur take on the gcd changes as prot? Im only prot i 5 mans basicly so im never rly getting use to it.. feels a bit off imo.. but i guess i just need to unlearn my old playstyle

cinder pasture
#

I’ve noticed I use IP way less :P

coral agate
#

yeah same

#

i think ive used it but couse of the gcd i havent 😃

ember dagger
#

I typically only end up using IP when I'm overflowing on rage or taking mostly magic dmg

smoky wave
#

I'm using it way less because I'm not flooded with rage.

ember dagger
#

Of course I'll prioritize it for when I'm taking a ton of dmg but otherwise

#

I think the big issue is that we're having to choose between maintaining aggro over our braindead dps or being tankier

#

Feelsbad

smoky wave
#

gcd doesn't bother me. It's not an emergency button, and it's not like our dps is suffering for spending a gcd on IP rather than anything else.

cinder pasture
#

I’m usually overflowing with rage on aoe, but don’t have a lot of free gcds for IP then

#

What with all the revenge procs

vocal nimbus
#

Its not unsual to cap in AoE

smoky wave
#

I find I don't cap much, but I prioritise IP slightly higher than revenge unless I'm going to cap IP a lot of the time. Only a scrub and doing normals but I know I'm gona get punched when the stuns wear off

tight tree
#

Hmm, i feel even if we choose to use some rage for IP, we still do respectable damage. if we choose to use ALL THE RAGE for damage, then we do UBER DAMAGE.

smoky wave
#

hehe my bro in law was boggling at it yesterday. I'd be doing mediocre single target damage, the hunter would 'accidentally' pull all visible mobs and my dps would go nuts.

tight tree
#

Well going to help fam to be top DPS, respect

cinder pasture
#

I’m usually pissing off my dps in dungeons,they hate that I do so much damage 😛

smoky wave
#

Did my first few dungeons at 120 yesterday. It was weird taking damage again but I guess I've gotta get used to not being full hp all the time. Late legion felt very 100%-or-dead a lot of the time. Fun though. Only time I died was those ticks at the start of underrot.

sick sentinel
#

then you are out of shield block charges and your hp is going down nuts too 😛

fringe marten
#

Yeah I'm really not looking forward to the inevitable damage nerf, because it's a threat nerf.

lone cobalt
#

is it worth it to stack resouding defence ?

tardy oak
#

guys we expecting any protection redesign / buffs?

#

Ignore Pain seems really shitty

smoky wave
#

I hope they don't Dadugan. It's pretty much the utility warriors bring to fights atm. We don't have some of the toolkit the other tanks have, but we hit hard. I find that utterly inkeeping with the class fantasy. I'm not a holy warrior, or a corpse soaking up blood, or too drunk to notice the damage, I'm just really pissed off.

severe steeple
#

what @smoky wave said

smoky wave
#

IP could do with looking at. Gcd is fine it just feels super unsatisfying to press.

old zephyr
#

Make IP do something for the nasty DoTs

#

number 1 warrior dream

tight tree
#

My biggest fear is, they will just nerf warrior's damage, and stop on that.

#

Just imagine most underwhelming changes they could do, and we will receive exactly that. Just you see 😉

old zephyr
#

I really hope they don't.
A lot of people think we are crap, we don't really need a nerf on top of that

tight tree
#

Ip should have damage component imo. Colossus Smash as cooldown not feeling as bad as avatar, for example, because it also hits so it feels like you actually done something.

#

Yeah, perception is a bitch.

old zephyr
#

IP dealing damage would not make sense

#

IP healing us might, and we'd be back to the place we deserve, at the top of the tankchain

undone sun
#

ignore the pain back at the enemy

tight tree
#

Or that.

old zephyr
#

would also do something against all the nasty DoTs aw well

severe steeple
#

Ignore Pain now grants you 50 artifact power if it's fully consumed

#

ppl still whine cause it's on the GCD

smoky wave
#

Azerite-infused ignore pain

#

Ignores pain and summons a goblin to protect the precious resources, attacking anything that uses up the shield.

cinder pasture

“You no touch Azerite” ? 😛

prime owl
#

Ignore Healer being on the GCD kinda sucks

#

doesn't mean the class isn't strong, it's just clunkier to execute

tight tree
#

I will whine about it being on GCD forever. Because it will feel like shit forever.

#

No way about it, it feels like shit and it will.

#

around it*

smoky wave
#

If it was something like shield wall or Extended-shield-block-with-extra-health I'd agree, but I don't mind it on the gcd. Gives me an interesting choice between survival and damage. I'm all for interesting choices.

tight tree
#

I would be fine if shield was bigger. Still feel like shit but would be useful at least. Now it will be 1 autoattack from boss and its off.

#

And cannot time for bug tankbusters, cause GCD 😉

smoky wave
#

see, the issue isn't the gcd, the issue is that it's poorly designed.

tight tree
#

GCD is "how it feels" issue. Size is effectiveness issue. Currently it is bad on both

#

Too much work for mediocre results

smoky wave
#

I reckon the gcd issue will go away if you fix the effectiveness issue. It's currently not satisfying to hit, so feels bad if you hit it over revenge procs. Make it satisfying to hit and you've then got an interesting choice again

tight tree
#

Yeah i feel like i waste my time hitting it, even if it defends me bit

#

Remove gcd and i can spam it along the way, no big. Increase size, i will time it because it will be worth it.

#

Its good in dungeons now, probably will be ok for normal/heroics, but i think it will be useless on mythic bosses

smoky wave
#

I think keeping it on the gcd and making it better/more satisfying is the way to go.

#

yeah, agree, I'm only doing normals at the moment and already finding it lacklustre. (but I'm also still habitually hitting SB when bolster is up so I've got a while before I'm able to comment on miffics!)

tardy oak
#

@prime owl its not only that Ignore Pain sucks, it doesnt fucking stack and it also so weak

old zephyr
#

On fights when you tke only magic damage, you dump all your rage into that and it's still not good enough to not feel like paper

tardy oak
#

ignore pain should have fucking stack

#

its BS

smoky wave
#

yeah, 1.3x is pathetic

tight tree
#

Easy enough to buff how it scales. A lot of abilities on raid bosses are unblockable, so going to need it. Wonder if Blizz will see it this way.

#

Magic damage everywhere. We have demo shout tho

#

Have to be close tho, if a caster cast at you from far, gl demo him

#

🤣 still it feels overall fun to play

#

heavy and brutal, i loke it

#

maybe it is Stockholm syndrome

u also have Spell Reflection as magic damage AM

IP being GCD is a pain but my God I miss the bloodletting wrists. Scrabbling for killing blows or resign myself to the death of a thousand pin picks is bloody depressing :(

sick sentinel
#

I also found out a weird bug, when you use scrapper as protection warrior.. it will only scrap once and highlight your cursor : P

fathom marten
#

duuudddee

#

is that whats causing it!

sick sentinel
#

yep

#

change to fury spec

#

and it will be fixed

fathom marten
#

I was wondering why sometimes it would work and other times it wouldnt

#

Good to know

sick sentinel
#

I think it has something to do with either spec numberid (3) or aura changing (Into the Fray) stacks

fathom marten
#

I don't remember it doing it while I was leveling though.

smoky wave
#

I don't have an issue scrapping as prot

sick sentinel
#

I do, I even tried disabling all addons

#

😦

ember dagger
#

huh

fathom marten
#

I wish they'd let you xmog art appearance to weapons or shield

#

Not force you to do both

Also wish they still let warriors use war glaives

okay fuck you now the scrapper glitch is happening to me

I almost have all the expulsom I need for the epic plate gear BS lets you make

But still need to do mythics to get the hydrocore

fringe gull
#

u guys kow how much % tempo i need as prot warri?

#

merry cave
#

And then realise it takes 3 weeks of hydeocore

fathom marten
#

.... Really?

#

3 weeks

merry cave
#

Or your item rolls crit mast and they don't have items to reroll stats like wod

#

It's 15 per piece, I'm not sure how much rank 3 lowers too but you need revered I think

fathom marten
#

I hate the reason why blizz got ride of reforging attributes.

merry cave
#

It's not even reforging it's just rerolling crafted stats because getting wrong stays in a piece that takes ages to make is dumb

fathom marten
#

lol fuckin hell crit mast

#

You right but I just believe reforging was a good idea.

#

People complained that they would get an upgrade from a dungeon but didn't have that stats they wanted and didn't want to go back to a city to reforge.

#

Okay have it your way guys. Now you're just shit out of luck when gear drops and stats are bad.

#

We'll just RNG the stats for you

old zephyr
#

engineering google were 2 hydrocores to craft LoL

merry cave
#

Yeah but they're 340 and don't go higher

old zephyr
#

true that

merry cave
#

Pants/belt are 355 and get upgraded

old zephyr
#

I hope there will be schematics in ldir to upgrade them though

merry cave
#

Although I love my goggle traits, I'm hoping they stop being spastic and add ilvl boost for goggles

old zephyr
#

else the only use of engineering starting from september will be creating the weapon upgrade that only 2 specs will ever use YAY

fathom marten
#

What's the rank 3 recipe rep faction for the pants and belt?

sick sentinel
#

fast question here......
When you gear up for the mythic dungeons, is it best to go for the item level with no azerite powers ilvl 325.
But it will give me Stats upgrade are: +40 armor - +35 str + 66sta

Stay with ilvl 310 with The one where your spells have a chance to grant 621mastery for 15 sec. When the effect expires it jumps to a nearby ally, granting 122 mastery for 8 sec.

What should i chose....

prime owl
#

wait wait wait

#

Ignore Pain doesn't stack anymore?

#

Christ what the fuck are they thinking with that

cosmic cargo
#

ofc it does

okay ty., So always ilvl over azerite power (Exept if we talk Deafening crash.) what agbout brace for impact

merry cave
#

I barely think it's worth stacking but that's a whole dif point

#

I've been upgrading azerite gear if I can use first trait

#

If I need another ap level I wait

ashen shell
#

Morning guys, does anyone have a link to a mythic BiS list?

sick sentinel
#

awesome answers folks. ty alot did help me now and ahead aswell....Tanks.

#

Tyrrell that would ROCK idd..

merry cave
#

I doubt there is a bis list, no one really uses it now due to titanforge

#

There's a list of azerite traits in the guide tho

sick sentinel
frigid spindle
#

how good is the wq procc set? 400 dodge one ? 😮

twin hazel
#

Theres a BiS azerite gear list because they are static and dont titanforge

jolly coyote
#

look for the thunder clap icon,thats your best azerite armor:D

old zephyr
#

I'd go for DC + 2 Block traits, and a set of DC +2 bloodsport for magic Heavy fight

sick sentinel
#

is the Darkmoon Deck: Blockades rly weak ? and not worth buy

#

bcause come say its just the best trinket tanks can get atm

#

other say its is crap and blue 300ilvl trinkets with haste use or equip are way better

old zephyr
#

If It's cheap enough for you It's good

#

Since the buff

sick sentinel
#

but is there better like the zandalar emblem or waht its is called and jes howlers <---versatility use

#

and the zandalar are haste proc

twin hazel
#

chances are if you can find it cheap it will possibly be used throughout the whole expansion if it turns out to be upgradeable

full karma
#

what is the best azrite to stack ?

sick sentinel
#

deafening crash

twin hazel
#

not to stack

#

you only want one

sick sentinel
#

arhh sry misunderstood the question

sudden tapir
#

How come you don't want to stack it 😮

twin hazel
#

its probly good to stack for aoe damage though

sudden tapir
#

Just loses value?

twin hazel
#

well the 2 second part of it doesnt stack

#

so it loses its main perk

#

thats why its worth 25 item levels

undone sun
vocal nimbus
#

You can stack them for a big damage increase

#

Making TC hit harder than SS during avatar

#

But defensively it isnt worth stacking

sick sentinel

Is there a way to simulate the optimal stats weight for a tank ? I'm new to tanking and I'm wondering if a tool like raidbots is also relevant for a tank spec

sick sentinel
#

Not yet

#

Nah, no pawnstring or solid stat weights just go for i level then if they match whatever one has haste on

#

Fathoms over blockades right?

Hey guys, I asked this in the UI channel but it’s dead af.. and since a it’s fairly quiet at night I thought I’d try my prot family. Doesn’t anyone know of an addon or weakaura that has an easily moveable and resizable rage bar? With preference to be able to have the number in the middle and different font size. Would love to find one that doesn’t different colours at certain values as well. I used to use comergy but I think it’s no longer supported 😦

astral notch
#

It's very simple to create a rage bar in weak auras.

amber siren
#

There's a template in weakauras to do that

astral notch
#

If you don't want to make your own from scratch, I suggest importing one you like and making a few changes

round vortex
#

Was more looking for an answer that wasn’t “make a weak aura” that is my option after not finding an addon 😦

#

I did look for some and the one I found that worked well was really annoying to resize. You have to do each part of it individually (background etc...)

vocal nimbus
#

well, there is an addon

#

its weakaura itself 🤷

@round vortex Elvui is perfect for stuff like that

hey so i haven't played wow in forever, but i have been playing prot and tanking normals around 300ilvl to try to get the swing of things. The only problem is that on pulls with 4+ mobs, there is no way in hell i can keep all the aggro on me. Is this because im not taunting individual trash mobs when they stray away? I was always under the impression you can just thunderclap and spank trash but it must have changed in bfa

Are you running 1 2 2 3 2 1 1?

#

If not, fix it

bold solstice
#

see so i haven't been using avatar

#

that makes sense

#

i forgot dps plays a role in threat

uneven mason
#

Avatar should be used prior to charging in, thundercalp aas soon as your in range, follow it with a Demo Shout, and then another Thunderclap

compact mirage
uneven mason
#

You can just walk away at that point

Avatar +UF = TC every other GCD

i have been using crackling thunder instead of the one for leap

Oh

#

that one is presonal preference

#

that's usful too

bold solstice
#

because im still learning, i always feel weird using cds above 30 seconds because of that paranoia im wasting it, but you are saying that avatar before a trash pull is actually okay?

#

thats usefull

uneven mason
#

Yes, Warriors primary strength is how fast our CDs cycle

using Anger management

Read the guide linked in the pinned news

It has all you need to know

bold solstice
#

the icy veins one? oh yeah i read that boy

compact mirage
#

It has so many tipps

uneven mason
#

Demo shout should be used on CD, Last Stand should be used to increase your block time (but not stacked with SHield block)

#

Avatar used on CD

bold solstice
#

oh shsit i just realized anger management reduces avatar CED

#

CD*

uneven mason
#

Shield wall can be used regurally, rule of thumb in dungeons generally is - Bosses do less damage than trash

#

I use shield wall as an excuse to pull an extra pack or 2

compact mirage
#

As always for guide. If you read it. Read it again. 😃

uneven mason
#

especially the mistakes section 😄

bold solstice
#

so far i have been using shield wall, dump extra rage into ignore pain, last stand for my oh shit button

#

but haven't considered avatar as a threat tool

#

thats a big breakthrough for sure

uneven mason
#

Last Stand is 15% 100% block uptime heh

#

I use it rotationally because with AM its got a ~1 minute CD

bold solstice
#

see i never even thought of that

#

but i haven't needed to because im tanking normals

uneven mason
#

best practice is to get into best practices.

#

even if you're taking laughable damage, start getting used to playing prot as if you're getting you're face beat in.

#

makes the transition to higher dungeons easier 😉

Prot doesn't work that way, with ilvl being so important the only thing that's guaranteed is azerite pieces

With titan/warforging a bis list doesn't work

sick sentinel
oblique quarry

but what if i have a piece thats a 5 ilvl diff but diff secondaries

#

lilke vers mas vs crit mas

sick sentinel
#

See pins otherwise.

oblique quarry
#

or other stats

#

its not in the pins

amber siren
#

ilvl is still better

oblique quarry
#

hence my asking

sick sentinel
#

Haste>vers>=mastery>crit

oblique quarry
#

thank you

amber siren
#

it is but ilvl is still better

sick sentinel
#

Ilvl best and foremost for passive armor/str(more armor from vanguard)/stam gains.

sterile stump
#

Ok I may be in for a bit of flaming but I’m gonna ask anyway, how are you all finding prot now BFF has been out a couple of weeks? The reason I’m asking is 2 fold. 1: the prot warriors in my guild are moaning big time about it, 2: I spent a little while on the other tanks (apart from Druid) and decided on my good old faithful warr, so far I haven’t noticed any difference whilst levelling, I fact bar my do it’s the easiest but I can’t stand frost an uh. Just wondered if it changes massively at 120 and the whinging in guild is justified

sick sentinel
#

Only notable diff/exception is deafening crash gain/loss vs ab ilvl 10-15 loss in swapping

amber siren
#

not necessarily for stam, stat priorties for us are so close that there's no point sacrificing lower stats for a marginally 'better secondary' piece

oblique quarry
#

ive not seen any def crash pieces yet

amber siren
#

and yes deafening crash is worth I think 25 ilvl? Last I checked?

which is bananas to me

Warrior is Super strong on several domain, and fairly week on some others.
Tanking big hits, and dealing lots of damage, and mobility is where you shine.

what is proc chance of Elemental whirl trait btw? since i got that whit lifespeed and heed my call talents and haveing bit hard time to chose wich one to take 😃

sterile stump
#

@old zephyr thanks mate kind of assumed as much, I don’t seem to take as much damage as my other tanks, bar maybe pally. Guess that’s the benefit of shield tanking. IMO I think they have got them pretty well balanced.

cinder bridge

isn't ignore pain decent vs dots and such?

sick sentinel
#

Debating versatility enchant vs armor now.

#

Just cus physical/melee hits aren't that big a deal now.

#

More vers, more magic/dot reduction.

Since that's still a weakness going forward.

I mean... there aren’t any hard hitting magic abilities at all. They wouldn’t do that to us. You and your nay saying

Armor doesn't increase dps. Vers does. 🤔

Personally, luckily, have that option to be versatile (haha puns) being an enchanter.

This is true too. :p

haste enchant exists though why not take that instead

Your choices for the weapon enchant are the armor one and the haste one.

is the dark iron dwarf a decent choice for a warrior, or an elfe would be better ? or ?

racials doesnt matter really but dark iron has a cool racial for prot warrior

1% dmg reduction, same as tauren right?

Tauren has some extra stamina

so take both reads with grain of salt

bold solstice
#

this is going to sound borderline retarded, but im trying to get better and understand how classes work with me since i don't really have any self heal, are there addons that tell me keynote spells of different healers? like if i hop in a dungeon with a holy priest i can see what their big CD is

amber siren
#

Too much optimism? skyhold

grim prism
#

Honestly it's like any other tank. If you are trying to carry a bunch of mongo DPS who chainpull and focus offtargets it's going to feel bad. But assuming your group is competent it is totally fine

#

@bold solstice EXRT (exorsus raid tools) is a good one, there is also Tehr's WeakAuras package

#

Both show you your group's heal CDs per character and time left on cooldowns

#

Also I am fine with being "the opposite of forums"

#

Have you seen the inane shit those people post on there?

smoky wave
#

I ❤ this place because of the optimism!

grim prism
#

First of all, I am anything but optimistic

twin hazel
#

its easy for warriors to be optimistic when this happens every expansion

grim prism
#

Second of all, I'd like to think the regulars here are very pragmatic

twin hazel
#

we know were going to get better

grim prism
#

Lol are we? Prot has had problems scaling into higher content since 7.0 and IP has only gotten weaker since

#

Just sayin

amber siren
#

I don't think anyone seriously went into bfa thinking warriors were going to be new meta, probably just the same position we were in legion

#

Which is where we are now

#

🤷

grim prism
#

Right

bold solstice
#

and none of it even matters right? unless you are going for mythic firsts and shit you don't need to minmax from what im reading

grim prism
#

Totally fine for the average player in reasonable content, i.e., everything available right now

twin hazel
#

kay i guess what i mean to say is

#

we always stay a good level power

#

throughout the whole expansion

#

were never OP

#

were never weak

grim prism
#

@bold solstice pretty much. If you are worried about mythic firsts you arent asking other people what to play

#

@twin hazel id agree with that

#

Our aoe damage is pretty OP though

twin hazel
#

but our meh survival levels that out

umbral geyser
#

tc +rev+ ava feels good man

I still top meters from tine to time depending on what I pull out of pugfinder

I wouldnt even really say our survival is meh

the self heal is the only thing im ever worried about tanking

@abstract adder shield is arguably one if not the most important gear piece for us

abstract adder
#

Gotcha so getting demolished rn is prob due to my shield then

grim prism
#

I've been running IV when I do pickup groups just in case I get a healer I can't trust

umbral geyser
#

you can tank mythics with a 310 shield its just rough

steel mauve
#

we're not supposed to self heal, our survival is fine with out it, we just require a healer to recover

grim prism
#

It has been totally fine

abstract adder
#

It’s really rough. Died a lot in Kings rest last night

#

Hopefully a new shield makes me less squishy

grim prism
#

I was tanking mythics with a 280 shield. Having a better shield makes a colossal difference, but there is still something to be said for playing your spec properly. I'm not humblebragging, I'm just saying it is doable.

Prot is totally fine and anyone who says we are trash is wrong

Im pretty sure we dont have been claiming Prot couldn't do mythics.

I am all for sword&shield tank, so it’s either or for me, warrior or pally

@abstract adder if you have a 310 shield and you are getting demolished, you probably arent mitigating properly. With AM you dont need to worry about holding your defensive cooldowns as much, so throw those bad boys if you need them

Aye, I did all M0 with a 310 shield just fine

I would feel really bad if I gear up my prot warrior and get denied bcz I am a “warrior”

Thats a very important tanking skill to have; you dont have to be in melee the whole time

steel mauve
#

if you get denied because you are a warrior you're probably better off not running with that group any ways...

grim prism
#

@lucid bough well you are claiming that people here are overly optimistic because we have already sunk time into our warriors, which is equally baseless

#

And frankly stupid to tell people for no reason

bitter canyon

I have been having a blast ironically with Prot. Avatar + unstoppable force is so fun, and with booming voice the damage is insane. I don't have a great shield, but I haven't received any complaints in mythics about my survivability.

Lol, "tanks"

lucid bough
#

and that is pretty stupid too

sick sentinel
#

"but our meh survival levels that out" meh? 😂

#

@grim prism where can I read more about how to play prof optimally? Pins? I would say I’m not very good to begin with. Threat gen and active meditation. Played too many expacs as a brainless dps or did healing. Haven’t tanked since BC

#

Prot*

amber siren
#

@lucid bough It's not exactly uncommon opinion that warriors aren't top tier right now or have some undesirable features (Top complaint rn by far is how IP feels on GCD) but not really sure what you're hoping to achieve by dropping little passive aggressive comments in between actual meaningful discussion

grim prism
#

The pinned guide has all the basics for you, but practice is going to be the best way to improve ofc. Maybe try watching youtube guides of people running content, or joining a group at DPS to watch how a prot tank works (if you can find one)

#

There are also some weakauras pinned in there to help you keep track of some of your mitigative abilities

steel mauve
#

get a group of friends together, explain you want to practice tanking, and want to experiment, and explain that you will probably die, maybe a lot, and just try a bunch of different shit and figure out what works

grim prism
#

Its okay to wipe

#

Failing is how you refine the technique

#

Just try to find nontoxic friends to help you do that

steel mauve
#

ya, i find that you dont really learn from success, but you learn from failing

#

at least for me, like ok that worked but idk if it was right or good, but i know what doesnt work when i fuck up

grim prism
#

Mythic world firsts dont get them by being the best, they get them by doing 400 pulls in two weeks lol

steel mauve
#

that numbers a bit low 😛

sick sentinel
astral crystal

yikes that mog

grim prism
#

Where are you people getting all this haste gear

#

+1 for yikes

#

Nice mana @sick sentinel

cloud bone
#

this guys here sitting at 24% haste and I still only have 8

grim prism
#

Thats more than I have. Lol

sick sentinel
#

ty. I farmed a lot of it hard in Suramar.

cloud bone
#

suramar?

#

legion content in 2018?

sick sentinel
#

stays with you forever. accurate statement though, Legion was with us still in 2018.

grim prism
#

Dawg the expac came out a week ago

cloud bone
#

what do you mean legions been dead for a week it doesn't exist anymore

sick sentinel
#

yeah. and?

grim prism
#

Wows been dead for four years but we still play it

jovial reef
#

wow died with the lich king but here we are

lethal bridge
#

Our warchief has been dead for years and we still listen to her

sick sentinel
#

warcraft died with WC3 but here we are 2018

abstract adder
#

What addon shows all those stat details

jovial reef
#

@lethal bridge maybe you do, can't wait to kill the lich bitch

balmy lichen
#

Dejacharacterstats

grim prism
#

inb4 she was secretly a good guy the whole time

sick sentinel
#

shes just proactive. alliance too reactive.

grim prism
#

Sylv r1 prot war

lethal bridge
#

I actually liked Sylvana back when she was fighting the lich king with me, now I am not so sure lmao

grim prism
#

Tfw the zone lore is better than the actual expac story arc

regal island
#

eh my money is on sylvanus being possessed and us fighting her as a raid boss then nathanos taking over the forsaken

sick sentinel
#

what Sylvanas is doing now, she's been doing for years and years. This is all part of her character.

uneven mason
#

What Xpac story arc?

sick sentinel
#

Shes just now in the top position of power doing it.

uneven mason
#

I mean so far, all I've seen is "We have glowy trolls" and "Jaina is 16 again"

grim prism
#

A lot of people were buttsalty about her writing in the war of thorns event but honestly i think her character actions were the only ones that made sense in that little arc

uneven mason
#

IT was less the war of thrones writing and more how they presented it in game/during the Warbringers

#

Like

#

It was presented like a dumpster fire

grim prism
#

She's always had a singular ulterior motive and a ends-justify-the-means worldview

regal island
#

yeah no real enemy this xpac. More like american taking over iraq for oil.... i mean azerite.

grim prism
#

Dont call darnassus a dumpster kappa kappa

uneven mason
#

it gave no insight into motives/though process or interactions

#

it was all a bunch of "Flash Book" animation that didn't really convey what was really going on.

jovial reef
#

"Read the books" will be the answer you're given

grim prism
#

Horde is the enemy this expac @regal island. Hmmm

#

Wonder how those tauren druids felt about assassinating malf

uneven mason
#

Yeah I read it, her actions make a ton of sense once you read the books

#

even if she is a bit insane

regal island
#

Well with illidan and arthas gone, sylvanus is next. Plotline seems to be setting that up to me.

uneven mason
#

Well, I mean...Tauren Druids really are a small portion of the population of Tauren, and when you REALLY dig deep, Malfurion didn't do a whole lot for them beyond ignoring their plight against the Centaur for 10,000 years.

sick sentinel
#

^

#

F night elves.

#

Selfish bunch of bitches.

uneven mason
#

Like - why'd the Tauren almost endup extinct when the nightelves could've rolled down and wiped the horsey boys out in a weekend.

sick sentinel
#

because they saw tauren and centaurs no better than the other. judged them both as worthless savage beasts.

regal island
#

because smart tauren left for hightotem, that's where all the bamf tauren are.

sick sentinel
#

moose antlers. cringe.

uneven mason
#

Took some green Felbois to show up and make some Horse Meatloaf

sick sentinel
#

good mining alt slave tho.

regal island
#

helms cover the antlers, dont you worry

sick sentinel
#

but then you're no horns or antlers. just boring hooves.

#

may as well be draenei.

regal island
#

Well made my guy look like a wingless bloodthirster so it's all good.

grim prism
#

it would BEHOOVE us to stay on topic here

#

Ha haaaaa

regal island
#

plus perfect racials for prot imo, 1% vers and a little more dr

bold solstice
#

im rocking an orc warrior, wondering if anybody has ever tried this combo? seems pretty unique

sick sentinel
#

good for arms pvp too.

#

which also prios haste/vers.

#

but... antlers.

exotic spoke
#

For me it’s all about goblin or Draenei right now.

regal island
#

yeah cant say i care for the antlers. Thankfully a few of the helms i like hide them.

#

pally mythic t18 looks pretty sick and so do the cylon helms.

wheat bronze
#

Have people noticed more loot dropping in dungeons? It was always a consistent 1 from every boss but 2 from the final boss. Now I'm seeing 2+ items from every boss, rarely only a single drop.

sick sentinel
#

yes they have increased it

merry cave
#

Nightborne war, pretty sure im rather unique

wheat bronze
#

Seems shitty that they would hotfix it after I've already done my mythics for the week.

#

Should've been done with the rolling restarts.

sick sentinel
#

well same happened to Honorbound rep the wanted mission should give 500 rep per mission and due to a bug people didnt get it

merry cave
#

Which wanted mission, ive done 2 on one of the islands and gotten nothing

exotic spoke
#

Read on reddit that there is a bug with those wanted missions for horde

merry cave
#

bummer

#

guessi wont do anymore then

prisma crane
#

NA Alliance dudes, what's the emissary today? still shit?

#

(there are DOZENS of us)

regal island
#

wow token price is waaaayyyy down, guess the bfa hype is over.

crystal night
#

Blockades and fathoms a good idea for big dick deepz?

topaz ember
#

get some str dps trikents for that

exotic spoke
#

Order of embers for alliance NA

tawny panther
#

after having deafening shout are people finding stacking brace / fortress worth ? seems like a single vs multi target choice

fathom marten
#

I swear nearly all the gear I'm getting is crit and vers

#

tf is up with that

exotic spoke
#

Also helbrute, id argue the opposite. Everyone is buying gold with cash to level their professions ASAP because of scarcity of resources raising prices

They want that 355 gear, so more people purchasing with money than usual

prisma crane
#

^

crystal night
#

I thought 1/3 deafening and 2/3 brace for impact was the way to go ?

prisma crane
#

There's more than one way to pull the market

tawny panther
#

It coiuld be scottie, brce and iron fortress are very similar, to me iron fortress is more damage on multi targets with mental napkin math

junior ivy
#

which faction sells the AH mount btw?

crystal night
#

Nice nice ty dan

prisma crane
#

there's more people buying tokens with cash than gold, so prices drop, when that ratio swaps it'll go up again

crystal night
#

Makes sense

tawny panther
#

can you take economy discussion to general ?

exotic spoke
#

Wow tokens down in price hurts my gold revenue though when mythic plus carries start, which makes me sad.

prisma crane
#

sigh, 3 lines too much 👌

crystal night
#

So iron Fortress on fortified weeks and brace for tyranical weeks ?

#

2/3

#

Might be the way to go

tawny panther
#

not entirely sure, im thinking more so just IF for dungeons in general, the difference wont be insane to matter for a modifier i think

#

but say, raid bosses, maybe brace

#

curious what everyone thinks tho

exotic spoke
#

Could be good. I’m still leaning towards trying a four prot war group for fortified weeks (just out of humor) to see how it goes.

crystal night
#

Lmfaoooooo!!

exotic spoke
#

I’m dead serious.

crystal night
#

That makes sense to me dan

tawny panther
#

tbf i outdps people on mutli targets pretty handily

#

could work

crystal night
#

Me too haha that's why he wants to do tgat

#

Which would be hilarious

#

Have then all go 3/3 deafening doesn't the damage still stack ? Haha

exotic spoke
#

2 pop everything on 1 pull. The other two on the next pull. Alternate and use intervene to help mitigate / spread damage.

#

Yeah but for dps purposes probably

junior ivy
#

what is the difference between a war campaign and war front?

#

and what are theyt

exotic spoke
#

Everything is an aoe fight if you try hard enough

tawny panther
#

war campaign is the quests (see log it has its own section) just main story

#

warfroint dont actually know

junior ivy
#

ok so we dont have war fronts yet?

urban oak
#

got some tips for me for tanking? Im pretty noobie still on it, kinda struggling on aggro for aoe fights specially

junior ivy
#

im 338 ilvl and i still struggle for aggro 😦

tawny panther
#

avatar prepull demo shout for damage (take booming shout), check the poins for guide

urban oak
#

Havent tanked mythic yet so

leaden carbon
#

it is possible to stack deafening crash and have perma demo shout?

tawny panther
#

it only stacks the dmg not the duration increase

#

only take 1 deafening

leaden carbon
#

:c kk

exotic spoke
#

Yup, what dan said.

prisma crane
#

during Avatar it's a perma DS anyways

leaden carbon
#

yeah

prisma crane
#

and yea, avatar with BV and just TC every other GCD

leaden carbon
#

you are using avatar then demo right?

prisma crane
#

fill in the middle casts with abilities depending on situation, IP for more dmg reduction, Revenge for dmg, SS for rage/ST dmg, etc

#

if you see you're losing threat, main target that one until you have it back

#

avatar first, yes

tawny panther
#

taunt before you lose threat too, taunt shield slam gives you a great deal of threat

#

if its just the 1

uneven mason
#

I haven't yet run into a DPS that can pull mobs off of me in a Avatar - Charge - TC+SB - DS - TC situation

#

Its just insanely hard hitting

tawny panther
#

doing more damage than the dps does keep you the threat

uneven mason
#

Most of the time I'm doing almost half the groups overall damage depending how big the pull is

exotic spoke
#

I mean, you’re not wrong

uneven mason
#

heh I think a giant pull in Freehold lastnight I was nearly 80% of the groups damage 😛

exotic spoke
#

I need to get deafening crash pieces. I haven’t gotten one yet 😦

prisma crane
#

play with a good arms warrior, it's hard to do 80%

uneven mason
#

I had 3 at that point (best I had)

tawny panther
#

try todays emissary, both my paladin and warrior got good pieces (if you are eu)

#

and horde

uneven mason
#

Yeah Arms is about the only thing that catches me reguarlly on big pulls

#

for the same reason - mutliplicative damage buffs on infinite target AE

regal island
#

yeah same on deafening crash. But yeah prot's damage is pretty good, i usually beat other arms/fury warriors im grouped with on trash no problem.

#

afflocks are the mythic boss killing MVPs

#

had one pulling like 20k every boss fight

junior ivy
#

who else has perfected this jump using heroic leap?

#

it took a while, but i make the jump all the time now

prisma crane
#

i just jump to the ladder

#

i'll have to try the leap

cosmic cargo
#

you can also jump the little platform to the right

junior ivy
#

i run and jump while mounted and leap mid air

sick sentinel
#

xd

winged scaffold
#

dont even need to leap there

#

you can just land on it

regal island
#

u can skip the bridge section with a lock gate too

gusty sand
#

so i have tanked 3 mythics and disc priest are like a nightmare

winged scaffold
ember arrow
#

Disc are amazinf

raven kernel
#

just jump to the rep vendor

gusty sand
#

maybe its the player

raven kernel
#

its so easy

#

can even jump a bit more than that

#

up to the walkway to the ship

lunar spade
#

Is there a prot warrior Pawn string avaiable ? as I don't have a working Simcraft for prot ..

undone sun
#

nope

lunar spade
#

Welp , guess i'll uninstall pawn for now then

regal island
#

Yeah imo bis prot "fix" would be IP off gcd, "your next attack will cause IP effect" think a defensive version of heroic strike

winged scaffold
#

so best trait for DPS consensus?

#

i was thinking block damage or thunder clap

regal island
#

you always want 1 tc minimum

#

depends on ST vs AOE i suppose

winged scaffold
#

aoe ofc

#

ST is irrelevant on prot

regal island
#

shield slam builds do some decent ST damage

winged scaffold
#

u just mash Tclap no matter what

keen pasture

Hello! Little question to all the war tank, play war on the first raid is possible or I forget the progress with the war tank? Thank you for agregating
