protection

[primal crypt]

LUL

[grim prism]

Hah

[sick sentinel]

surprised nothing mentioned on almanac. hrm.

[grim prism]

No, its in there

Marok still puts DMD and Howler at the top assuming same ilvl

Macro's trinket list gives it a mention as "a trinket to keep your eye out for" but doesn't elaborate

Sure sounds like a fun trink though

[summer sequoia]

is the mythic + chest in place now? (if i run a mythic 2+ this week will it show up on tuesday)

[sick sentinel]

yeah am eyeing it.

for WF/TF that is. :p

mythic+ isnt out.

yet.

[summer sequoia]

oh. was watching a stream, didnt check the timestamp

guess it was beta

[wet hornet]

So, I am not enjoyed Prot warrior at all anymore, am I doing something wrong?

It feels so bad and squishy

[sick sentinel]

lol

[stark sage]

usually squishiness is because of misusing blocks and IP

[wet hornet]

And not enjoyed the GCD either, might just pull a MoP on this

Wait for next expansion

[stark sage]

also being undergeared has a noticeable effect

getting a good shield will make you feel tanky

[weary notch]

In my experience war tanks feel WAY squishier than other tanks when undergeard. The difference in mythics between 305 and 315 was noticeable, and at 330 I feel very strong

[grim prism]

I felt like shit at 310 and then i upgraded my shield and it was totally fine

That being said I was pugging mythic, and that feels like shit at any ilvl

+1 for excessive squishiness PROBABLY being rotarional mistakes

[wet hornet]

Playing half of Legion with AA dev, and now need to revert

Pls kill me

[lucid bough]

the spec doenst feel half bad when avatar is up

[weary notch]

whereas pally at 305 in mythics feels strong, and at 315 feels a little stronger.

[grim prism]

I mean, devastator only felt so good because a) the leggo gloves, and b) before 7.1 you were spamming your filler instead of damaging abilities to fish for procs

Devastate feels like it is in a very good spot as an occasional fillee

[weary notch]

^

[grim prism]

Definitelt not a feelsbad button

[stark sage]

devastator felt good beause we had so much rage gen that we could fill our GCDs all the way up

and it competed with trash

[grim prism]

Lol

NS OP

I've really been enjoying the prot changes, I don't understand all the ire. Once I broke the habit of pressing IP between globals, which took all of theee days, things were fine

[weary notch]

I mean, if they're not going to get rid of dead talents, they should at least put NS and lolvager on the same row with bolster

[grim prism]

I like having dev back in a sensible capacity, i dont mind the RFDT changes, and although i feel like we've been shoehorned from a couple viable options into a single "good build" it certainly isnt boring or underpowered

Maybe I just drank the koolaid, idk

[weary notch]

no, I agree, mostly

I still don't like IP. Never did. Would rather see it replaced with Shield barrier or the original bolster

[grim prism]

Wasnt shield barrier essentially the same thing with a higher percentage? My memory is cloudy

[weary notch]

not really. Barrier was static, but was 100%, so got eaten instantly. Required really precise timing, which was fun

[grim prism]

So it was basically just a big dick absorb

[weary notch]

yup

[grim prism]

Yeah thats fair

I dont like that IP is basically an uptime buff now

[weary notch]

but if you used it a second too early, it got eaten by melee, and a second too late and the spell had gone off

[grim prism]

But i dont really mind it too much either

Its "fine"

Lol

[weary notch]

it's filler

[grim prism]

Yeah, unfortunately it kinda is

[weary notch]

there's more strategy to using it than there was in legion, but not by a lot

[grim prism]

Im so glad i didnt play 7.3 lol

[weary notch]

shield barrier took some planning and skill

[grim prism]

Sounds like a snoozefest

[hot locust]

Gonna go ahead and disagree on barrier taking any more skill than IP.

[weary notch]

and the original bolster would have been fine if it was 40 rage and only lasted, say 4-6 sec

barrier too WAY more precise timing

[hot locust]

You used it the exact same way, burn excess rage while spamming HS.

Definitely didn't.

[weary notch]

it absolutely did

[ember arrow]

@hot locust no no, you dont understand, everythign that was ingame before this moment took more skill

thats how it works

[hot locust]

You didn't use barrier to actually save yourself from high damage, you used CDs the same way you don't trust just IP to save yourself now.

[undone sun]

[ember arrow]

Thyme posts this on a thymer

im sure of it

[grim prism]

Stop

[weary notch]

you used barrier for magic mostly. I'm not talking about MoP. Barrier was too OP then - you often used it for everything

I'm talking about WoD barrier

[ember arrow]

stop what?

[weary notch]

WoD barrier was far weaker, and if you wanted to maximize it, you had to time it precisely

[hot locust]

We played 2 totally different warriors in WoD then.

[signal plover]

Well, back to lunch

[grim prism]

I started playing prot in wod and i vaguely remember just mashing barrier mindlessly lmao

This is before i was gud

Sure seemed to do the trick though

[hot locust]

Because it was definitely a "use SB to actually block damage and barrier just to burn extra rage that HS can't get through fast enough" type case.

[arctic sedge]

good old gladiator spec

[weary notch]

you could do that, but that wasn't optimal

[hot locust]

Ooookay.

[grim prism]

I think he meant that @ me

[weary notch]

remember, you were 100% in control of your rage in WoD. No RFDT, no rage from melee

you had zero magic mitigation. Spell reflect did nothing

[hot locust]

Yeah, so you used CDs.

[weary notch]

so if you wanted magic mit, you had to wait until the cast was about to hit and pop SB

[hot locust]

???

[weary notch]

IP is just a poor mans SB. It isn't as punishing when you pop it at the wrong time

[hot locust]

Again, I disagree.

[weary notch]

tell me why you disagree

how is IP better?

[hot locust]

If we had AM the same way we did back then (instead of Ravager for dps or glad stance) you would have been using barrier the same way.

[weary notch]

but we didn't

[hot locust]

Even without AM you just used CDs or the crazy amount of externals we had back then.

[twin hazel]

barrier was shit

[weary notch]

didn't have enough externals for the P1 add on archi. Had to learn to SB one of those spell hits

[hot locust]

If you played properly in a high-level raid environment you used SBar the same way you use IP now.

You're just wrong.

100%

Because that's exactly what I did.

but ok.

I'm sure I'll learn to precisely time Sbar on a DoT that lasts until that add dies. I'll get right on it.

[weary notch]

he cast it like every 10-15 seconds. No way there were enough externals

[hot locust]

Yeah and you didn't need to "precisely time" anything either

because you just spammed it the whole time.

Even with tanks picking up the fire.

[weary notch]

tanks picking up fire weren't getting meeled, so didn't use SB

so yes, you spammed

[steel zephyr]

Sorry if this question is asked all the time, but why are BELFS so common at the top of PVE for prot tanks? is it the best race? if not what is

[ember arrow]

@steel zephyr racial

purges magical effects from nearby enemies

[steel zephyr]

so would you say they are the best?

[twin hazel]

racial doesnt matter

[ember arrow]

ye if u want weapons the size oftoothpicks

the difference between racials is a 1% at most

[steel zephyr]

hahaha fair enough

i was a tauren but they're so ugly

[ember arrow]

hey

HEY

[steel zephyr]

LOL

SORRY

[ember arrow]

just dont wear a helmet

thats sin #1

[steel zephyr]

i like to see my screen in CQB

:^)

[ember arrow]

cqb?

[steel zephyr]

close quarters

[grim prism]

Racials dont matter for pve tanks unless you are a dwarf... but then you have to look like a fucking dwarf and have all.your weapons clip through the floor on every animation

[ember arrow]

i mean i have same issues on any of my tanks

one is a goblin

its more a camera issue

any super cq battles, like the sewers in tolbarad are fking annoying

i wanna see around me

but the floor is like 2 meters high

[grim prism]

I had a pull in waycrest last weekend

Let a pat walk up behind me, through my party, and just start dicking on my healer

Group was like "uhh... are you gonna do something guy?"

I had no idea. The way the camera angled in the doorway i didnt see him at all, either on approach or while attacking

[ember arrow]

i mean

you should know where trash is patrolling

[grim prism]

You should mind your business

I got most of it

Nobody died lol

[wet hornet]

You went: notices ur pack OwO whats this

[grim prism]

Pretty much

Healer got glommed desu~~

[ember arrow]

wat

[wet hornet]

Wow. Get with the times gramps

[ember arrow]

sounds anime

not good

[hot locust]

Anime turns you into the best warrior.

[ember arrow]

hentai sure

[grim prism]

They are fully grown adult women grandma

[hot locust]

[grim prism]

It is art

[ember arrow]

theyre 82, they just LOOK like 4

i got it

[wet hornet]

Cant die if you have eternal youth

Immortal tanks best tanks

[ember arrow]

is warr one of them?

[wet hornet]

No

[grim prism]

I told you indestructible is bis

Its like you people dont read

[hot locust]

I just want indestructible on my shield

that way it doesn't break mid-pull.

[wet hornet]

I just want warrior to be fun

[grim prism]

It isnt?

[wet hornet]

Not for me

[hot locust]

I already have the habit of having an extra shield in my bags/bound to equip again in case it breaks during raid.

[strong forum]

kek

[grim prism]

I vendored mine and I have regretted it precisely three times since

[wet hornet]

Suddenly ilvl 200 shield equipped

[hot locust]

Nah my second one is 335 :^)

[wet hornet]

Not even 350

Scoff

[hot locust]

well that's the first one 😦

I miss early legion prot

but I don't mind this iteration

[wet hornet]

Same

I miss the times when all our abilities didnt get shat on

[grim prism]

Early legion prot like 7.0?

Yeesh

[hot locust]

yeh

I liked FR playstyle.

[grim prism]

Dev spam not nice

[hot locust]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[grim prism]

I liked the big slams but man

It sure feels a lot livelier now

[ember arrow]

@wet hornet what got shat on?

u mean the highest dps tank?

[grim prism]

/flex

[strong forum]

Bolster defo gets shit on

100%

[ember arrow]

then warr loses any reason to be competitive at all in m+

[wet hornet]

Sure, thats neat. But if i wanted to dps i wouldnt be prot

[grim prism]

Bolster wont get shit on

[ember arrow]

if u dont die u focus on dpsing

[strong forum]

/s

[grim prism]

Prot war is apparently too hard for the average wow player as it is

[strong forum]

^this

[grim prism]

Because the average wow player apparently just wants to AFK some LFR and do some ilvl 300 unrateds

And completing normal raids puts you in the top 50th percentile

[ember arrow]

you can play the "warr needs more skill "card, but we do need to do more work for similar rewards

that isnt rewarding of itself

inlegion, we literally took no dmg

if played well

i was 20th dmg taken in my raids

[grim prism]

Kind of hard to fuck up "mash IP"

[ember arrow]

mash that on gcd ability

[grim prism]

What legion were you playing? 🤔

[sick sentinel]

eh

[ember arrow]

in legion it was rewarding

now it doenst feel rewarding

[grim prism]

Anyway i think its fair to say warrior requires more attention to be a minimally acceptable tank

Its not playing a card

[ember arrow]

sry if i misworded that

[weary notch]

hmm. Blood Siphon (mastery and leech) or Winds of War (possible dodge, stacking). Both A tier. Thinking Blood Siphon would win out, yes?

[vocal nimbus]

Id take blood

[grim prism]

^

[weary notch]

yeah, that was my guess, too. Thanks

[lusty grotto]

i kinda like war now

a lot more than legion

[weary notch]

same

[lusty grotto]

but i also liked tanking KJ and impressing everyone because apparently all warriors sucked dick with SB uptime on felclaws

[weary notch]

just don't be surprised with the Thunder Clap nerf hits in a couple of weeks

[grim prism]

If we get a nerf it'll be minor

[vocal nimbus]

You never know

Expect the worst

[grim prism]

More of a tune than a nerf (although it sure wouldnt be tuned upward)

[wet hornet]

"We forgot to add sb on the gcd. That has been fixed."

[weary notch]

I'm also expecting a buff of some kind. The smart buff would be a slight armor bump

[grim prism]

I always expect the worst

[lusty grotto]

listen you, lets not get out of hand here

[grim prism]

Definitely not expecting a buff

[wide juniper]

Delete your damn messages.

[weary notch]

or maybe raising the IP cap to 1.5

[grim prism]

Raising the cap wont make it feel better

Tbh

[vocal nimbus]

Theres no point in raising the ip cap

[grim prism]

Its still just 50% absorb

[sick sentinel]

either remove the gcd or increase the cap + absorb %

[vocal nimbus]

You will have to waste 3 globals to fill the cap

[lusty grotto]

what about that sweet shields are more likely to drop now buff

[grim prism]

@lusty grotto that is already planned

[lusty grotto]

😢

[grim prism]

It's called M+

[wide juniper]

Oh god. Lirik's chat is going off on prot wars now

[lusty grotto]

true enough

[vocal nimbus]

Its called m+ while forcing everyone to loot as tank

[grim prism]

Who is lirik, is this a twitch thing

[lusty grotto]

yes

doesnt he play DK?

[wide juniper]

Priest currently

[grim prism]

LOL

[wet hornet]

Donkey kong?

[weary notch]

no, but they tend to think in terms of "what change would take the least manpower and not affect the rest of the spec heavily." I'd expect them to raise the IP cap before they buffed IP outright, due to scaling

[lusty grotto]

i cant seem to watch him, i get bored like halfway through

[grim prism]

What kind of priest

Please say anything but holy

[wide juniper]

Holy for m0

and shadow

[grim prism]

S H A D O W

[wide juniper]

He's just dabbling with them

[lusty grotto]

i can watch when he plays with waffle and shorty

[grim prism]

Well it sure takes a fucking trash spec to know one, doesnt it

[lusty grotto]

rofl

[wide juniper]

I mean, he wasn't saying shit about prot wars.

Read my message again for clarification.

If anything he is very happy with the prot war in his group.

[lusty grotto]

its twitch chat, they shit on everything

[wide juniper]

Yep

[grim prism]

Is it just "prot wars MonkaS" on repeat

[wide juniper]

Nah

[grim prism]

Can I get a poggers in the chat boiz

[wet hornet]

[lusty grotto]

probably with a few IQ200 and Cat emotes

[uneven mason]

Raising IP cap - a more meaningless change has never been proposed

[grim prism]

^

[uneven mason]

"I HaVE A IP WORTH 10,000,000" great bro, you get to cast it again in 11 seconds

[grim prism]

50% of a 30k hit still fucking hurts whether your potential absorb is 15k or 150k

[uneven mason]

cause you're going to have 9,983,435 left on it

[lusty grotto]

spam that revenge

[uneven mason]

I guess, I Mean, that's all it would do

and the amount of free revenges I get

I'd still be pressing IP

to cycle CDs properly

[wet hornet]

I will try to learn prot war this weekend. Might be super bad atm cuz tired

[wide juniper]

It's a good time.

[lusty grotto]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[uneven mason]

increasing the absorb to 75% magic, reduce it to 35% physical - what I wanna see.

[wet hornet]

But if i fail

[grim prism]

Yikes

Pls no

[wide juniper]

Delete that message @uneven mason

[wet hornet]

@wide juniperi am gonna getcha

[uneven mason]

U HEARD ME

[wide juniper]

DELETE IT BITCH

❤

[wet hornet]

Just give us 30% health back from damage

10k hit 30k heal

👌

[uneven mason]

VDH is that way 👇

[lusty grotto]

but why

[grim prism]

Just play with a disc priest @wet hornet, that way you can have avatar for every pull after waiting for them to refill mana

[undone sun]

🤔

[uneven mason]

I Mean, I'm not greedy

I'd take a hit on IPs physical absorb

[grim prism]

@wet hornet we get 50% back from damage taken before it's even applied during IP!!

[wet hornet]

Am not edgy enough to be a dh

[uneven mason]

to make it better vs magic

[wet hornet]

Might be edgy enough in thyme

[uneven mason]

cause magic is what kills me ever ytime

physical damage is featherduster

[sick sentinel]

agreed @uneven mason

[uneven mason]

its like hitting me with socks

One fucking nature DoT tho

[lusty grotto]

i'd rather SR went back to not being gone after 1 reflect

[uneven mason]

and I'm wrekt

that too

[wet hornet]

I want longer sr

[grim prism]

I want better sr

[lusty grotto]

i want legion SR

[wet hornet]

I want what druids had in legion

[grim prism]

I want my spec to be the best at everything reeeee

[weary notch]

well remember, if they make any changes, it will be with 8.1 in mind, and it certainly seems from beta like their eventual plan is to get rid of IP entirely.

[wet hornet]

Wut

[lusty grotto]

hmm..

[wide juniper]

huh?

[leaden carbon]

balancing in first week of september

[wet hornet]

Did someone say reroll?

[dreamy gorge]

Blood DK poggers

[grim prism]

Well yeah, they did say they wanted to move away from uptime buffs (before turning IP into a goddamned uptime buff)

[uneven mason]

SR now is a CD that increases the absorb from IP by 80% vs magic. (90%)

[lusty grotto]

hmmmmm

[weary notch]

if you followed the beta, you saw them attempt to re-make the spec without IP, but ran out of time

[uneven mason]

Well

they didn't really try to remake anything

[sick sentinel]

talking about nature dots.. those mobs before Vol'kaal 😦

[wet hornet]

Sr is now a passive. 10% magic dmg reduction

[lusty grotto]

if they do that they better fucking remove Frenzied Regen and HotP

[uneven mason]

they basically went "What if we make Prot REALLY FUCKING BORING" and stand there and just have an insane amount of armor

[leaden carbon]

I rather have no IP than IP on the gcd

[uneven mason]

"Insane armor is good?"

[grim prism]

Is that why prot is so boring right now?

[uneven mason]

Didn't work when they realized that 70% of the damage in dungeons is magic

[sick sentinel]

"magic bypasses armor?" genius

[uneven mason]

Nah I mean Bolster v1.0 Prot Balsaq

before we got IP back

and rage management

[weary notch]

I'd be fine with no IP is SR didn't drop when it reflected something

[undone sun]

@leaden carbon 👋

[lusty grotto]

true

[grim prism]

Man, I love almost all of you guys, but some of the proposed ability changes I see in here are pants-on-head retarded

[leaden carbon]

@undone sun

[lusty grotto]

i'd be ok with that one Brun

[hot locust]

Most of them are @grim prism

[uneven mason]

Pants don't go on head?

[grim prism]

Kappa

[lusty grotto]

IQ200

[uneven mason]

I mean, when you get down to it

magic shouldn't by pass armor right?

[leaden carbon]

I dont really care about being viable or easy to play. I just want IP off the gcd and devastator

[hot locust]

have fun on a private server then

[uneven mason]

Fireball is gonna hurt a ton less if I'm wearing a suit of metal

[hot locust]

see ya

[grim prism]

Nahhh

[wide juniper]

Just adjust, people.

[uneven mason]

IP off GCD

[lusty grotto]

or maybe it heats up your plate and you boil inside

[uneven mason]

🏏 🐴 💀

[wet hornet]

I wish

[grim prism]

Whats so bad about deva being gone @leaden carbon

[wet hornet]

A quick death

[sick sentinel]

then you should take burning damage, not fire damage 🤔

[lusty grotto]

shit

[uneven mason]

I mean, when I wear my gauntlets

I can grab logs from my firepit no problem

[leaden carbon]

I enjoy the spec half as much, it feels wrong imo

[hot locust]

Can't wait to still run devastator in raid for dps :^)

[lusty grotto]

youre right alxo

[grim prism]

Also why did you guys prune the searing brand emoji

Its like we are forgetting the best parts of past memes

Warrior has a rich history of failure

[lusty grotto]

🥑 whew that one isn't gone

[leaden carbon]

warrior pre devastator and devastator warrior both felt more fun to play imo

[undone sun]

idd

[grim prism]

Man i disagree entirely DW

[leaden carbon]

why?

[grim prism]

Pre-dev warrior sucked having to fish for procs, FR was fun-ish but it wasnt a "true dps spender"

7.1 deva was fun as hell, i dont disagree

[wide juniper]

This discord makes me lose so many damn brain cells reading the same things over and over.

[sick sentinel]

lol

[grim prism]

Well yeah

[sick sentinel]

Guys, is Prot good?

/s

[grim prism]

@sick sentinel no reroll

[wide juniper]

GCD/Rankings/Prot=boring/Dev

[lusty grotto]

Should i reroll to VDH guys?

[wet hornet]

Yes

[wide juniper]

rinse and repeat in no specific order

[lusty grotto]

Warriors feels squishy

[sick sentinel]

Something something Ignore Pain something GCD

[lusty grotto]

amirite

[wide juniper]

Throw IP in there for some spice

[grim prism]

Excuse me for making convo with a former regular who isnt around much anymore

I wanted to hear the same things in his own words

[wet hornet]

I saw maroks update on icy veins. Its all replaced by "REROLL VDH IF YOU WANT TO BE VIABLE."

[lusty grotto]

rofl

[uneven mason]

"VIABLE"

[wide juniper]

😐 🔫

[tiny rapids]

Everybody: Warriors are squishy, warriors are bad. Me and my group in Mythic: Hell Tank take some damage please.

[lone cobalt]

😆

[uneven mason]

wait wait

'VIABLE' them strong quotes

[lusty grotto]

im just laughing at the absurdity of it

[grim prism]

"Blockades has been buffed, we are trash now"

[lusty grotto]

remember that this will come back in full force once the next patch hits!

[wide juniper]

Yep.

Looking forward to it. /s

[undone sun]

it's a never ending cycle

[grim prism]

It'll get better when the tier opens and we can make fun of people's logs instead of being helpful

[undone sun]

get used to it

[tiny rapids]

Can we ask if people are tanking m0 with 266 shield?

or is it too much?

[grim prism]

I did it

[uneven mason]

yeah once Uldir hits and we're all like taking half the mitigated damage as other tanks, folks might swap gear from "Prot is bad" to "UTILITY U NO HAS"

[grim prism]

It was fine

[strange depot]

hmm is IP worth casting? its so small

[leaden carbon]

@grim prism about 7.0 warrior, the revenge/ip weaving made the spec interesting for me, beign able to charge > SB> SS was also great.

[sick sentinel]

:guntomouth:

[uneven mason]

😢 🔫

[lusty grotto]

@tiny rapids i'm tanking with a 178 shield

m0

[strange depot]

get a green nimchip

[lusty grotto]

check my armory lol

[leaden carbon]

@lusty grotto welcome to the ilvl335 club tanking with green shield

[grim prism]

We retained that into 7.1 tho. I feel like maybe people just miss FR because it was the last thing we had that was remotely similar to a dps spender lol

[wide juniper]

@tiny rapids I did a few with one. I have a N O R M A L shield from Motherlode now.

[uneven mason]

Nimchip is pure ironman, he's wearing full greys

[grim prism]

inb4 rev, you know what i mean

[wide juniper]

Spamming heroics tonight to try to get a shield 😦

[tiny rapids]

@lusty grotto is THE guy/girl!

[wide juniper]

I mean, you know, 50% mitigation is kinda nice too....

[uneven mason]

@strange depot Its worth using, learing how to manage your rage around IP is professional level prot

[tiny rapids]

On a serious note, yes, it's taking a eff while to drop weapon/shield. I was running full 340 few 355 but weapon and shield were 300/310

[grim prism]

Yo @vast sedge

[vast sedge]

Hey

[uneven mason]

Pobre I've cleared all mythics twice, no shields

[lusty grotto]

Gold nametags are too much responsibility

[shell mulch]

No shield, no tank.

[undone sun]

sal is asleep, post more memes

[grim prism]

[wet hornet]

Thyme will prove that i am worth it

[hot locust]

Marok I thought we weren't supposed to talk about our office settings in public.

[fierce juniper]

oops

[grim prism]

Also i thought we stopped using HR

Gottem

[fierce juniper]

heh

[vast sedge]

You know

[dreamy gorge]

Is prot this bad?

[vast sedge]

That was actually a good one

[wet hornet]

Prot is only as bad as the player

[wide juniper]

Prot is awful dude

[hot locust]

More like prot is actually this good.

[wide juniper]

Just do DH

[hot locust]

It's so good we can just shitpost the whole time and still be amazing.

[wet hornet]

Thyme went pally. That says something

[undone sun]

🤔

[uneven mason]

When prot was bad Jespetin this channel was nothing but torches and pitchforks (really the BFA one)

[undone sun]

i went bear in NH, it's not really saying much

[wet hornet]

He usually chase the fotm

[uneven mason]

we're comfortable enough now to spend our days memeing

and answering people if prot is good

and making fun of the use of the word "Viable"

[grim prism]

Also overusing this

[wide juniper]

Have you accepted our lord and savior GCD into your lives?

[undone sun]

EN; Warrior
ToV; break
EN; Bear
ToS; Warr
ABT; Warr
Uldir; Protadin

ez

[uneven mason]

Nothing like prepatch week tho Balsaq

[grim prism]

Lets be real

This is the third week of prepatch

[uneven mason]

[final mist]

What the fuck

[final mist]

In my #protection channel

[undone sun]

[final mist]

NOT ON MY WATCH BOYS

[lusty grotto]

thank you sal

[uneven mason]

Sal, Thyme isn't even a real warrior

[undone sun]

😡

[final mist]

[lusty grotto]

fuck i was too late for that one

[vast sedge]

@final mist I’m sorry I still luv

[wet hornet]

Sal, I heard you rerolled Druid. You have no power here.

[undone sun]

neither is sal

hello

[final mist]

druid

[uneven mason]

Yeah, but Sal keeps things in order

[final mist]

L o l

[undone sun]

hmmm

[lusty grotto]

did you guys know sal means salt in spanish

[grim prism]

This is the best screengrab I picked since Macro learned to tolerate me

[wet hornet]

I heard Thyme said you wanted to ERP with some frisky kittens

[uneven mason]

Thyme is all like "LOOKIT ME, I'ma fart glitter allover your protection channel, because PALADURN"

[final mist]

I might not be maining a warrior right now, but I'm still 100x the warrior you'll ever be, Thyme

[lusty grotto]

shots fired

[undone sun]

yikes

[lusty grotto]

gcd locked

[uneven mason]

Yeah, and he'll sit on you.

[wet hornet]

Ye, you tell him!

[undone sun]

100x 0 is sitll 0

[hot locust]

Oof

[grim prism]

calculated

[wet hornet]

😓

[uneven mason]

you have to add the +1 to all calculations

[wet hornet]

1.5

[uneven mason]

nah just +1

computers don't like zeros

[final mist]

1 is the relative value of the warrior you'll eventually be Thyme

[uneven mason]

^

[wet hornet]

So, is that why your PC freezes on you?

[final mist]

Ergo I'm a 100 on the Sal Scale

[grim prism]

Dont forget to divide by k

[uneven mason]

you add k

[hot locust]

@final mist nice paladin

[uneven mason]

divide by the sum

[stuck oxide]

Stormforged are suppose to give valuable information to the community. I find it funny that people will actually listen to stormforged people who does not main prot warrior anymore LUL.

[hot locust]

your warrior even 120 yet? :^)

[wet hornet]

How many k's? 1? 2? 3?

[final mist]

@hot locust yes

She's also 344

My Paladin is 347

[uneven mason]

Well thus far, Fuzza

[lusty grotto]

Uh oh

[uneven mason]

I've seen a lot of folks who are bad

[wet hornet]

"She" Talking as the warrior is real

[undone sun]

most people who "represent" their spec with a higher role usually don't stick to one, they're adaptable

[uneven mason]

and main

[hot locust]

boosted monkey xD

[uneven mason]

prot

[final mist]

I have all this gold, might as well use it

[grim prism]

Fuzza with his bi-monthly contribution

See you in 8.1

[vast sedge]

Yea how can someone know how to do a similar role across multiple classes in an aged game

[stuck oxide]

?

[wet hornet]

Stop spamming Fuzza

[undone sun]

cozen ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tiny rapids]

Impossible right

[final mist]

Fuzza, don't you remember when Cozen was Arms, Marok was / is a Monk, and Thyme was a bear?

[stuck oxide]

I have been playing prot warrior since BC at high level balsaq

[hot locust]

NONE OF YOU ARE LOYAL

[maiden solar]

how ya guys thinking prot will be compared to the other tanks for m+/raiding?

[final mist]

Lala, smd

[stuck oxide]

I dont know about you

[woven pelican]

HEY PEEEPS

[uneven mason]

HEY ANAKEI

[grim prism]

@maiden solar in M+ high enough to for your weekly chest, we are totally fine

[vast sedge]

Longevity doesn’t equal skill

[tiny rapids]

Those guys ain't loyal I tell ya

[woven pelican]

how are you 😃 ?N

[vast sedge]

Just sayin

[grim prism]

You might not push +25s but

[wet hornet]

I remember in Legion, when we got off-topic, someone told us to keep it on topic.

[final mist]

No one is pushing 25s

[wet hornet]

Pretty fast too

[grim prism]

If you had to ask, you arent doing that anyway lol

[final mist]

Not this early

[uneven mason]

We're all in shock, because Thyme doesn't have any 😡

he's got some sparkle bar now

[grim prism]

Ya dont say @final mist

[maiden solar]

was thinking about a twink and wasn't shure how good dk, pally or DH would be xD

[final mist]

12/13 was the highest I saw on beta iirc

Maybe a 14

[uneven mason]

Before the gimmic

[wet hornet]

Thyme just wants to play something he will never be

Pure and just

[uneven mason]

rather after they fixed that bug

[grim prism]

Honestly

[uneven mason]

there was some +15s but it was done using some questionable game mechanics

[woven pelican]

guys who care about rage.... now we can't cast Ignore Pain casue of GCD..... ?????

[stuck oxide]

Shakib and jdot were doing +15

On beta

[woven pelican]

b'cause*

[uneven mason]

🏏 🐴 💀

[grim prism]

@woven pelican please continue to cast IP even though it is on GCD

You will die if you dont

[final mist]

If Shakib and jdot were doing 15s

What makes you think you can?

Or any average player?

Yikes

[undone sun]

he's a high level player sal

[uneven mason]

or even any above average player

[hot locust]

I'm gonna do them. :^)

[final mist]

I'm sorry that was toxic

[woven pelican]

@grim prism I do... but now on GCD is like .... BWAAAA painfull

[final mist]

Lala you're a warrior, you can't do 15s

[hot locust]

Wanna bet?

[undone sun]

yes

[final mist]

Not even sure Sense could tbh and he's miles better than you

[uneven mason]

"Dude who placed in the MDI was running +25s, ONLY THAT CLASS CAN DO IT!"

[final mist]

Warriors suck, swap to DHs

[hot locust]

M I L E S

[vast sedge]

Gl in your +5 with your gcd lock IP @hot locust LUL

[final mist]

Quoth the Raven, you may

[vast sedge]

retard for not rerolling smh

[final mist]

^

[grim prism]

@woven pelican you'll get used to it. Just remember that it is there to supplement your other abilities, not to be your first line of defense

[final mist]

Look at me and thyme dude

[undone sun]

🤣

[final mist]

Big brain Paladin rerollers

[stuck oxide]

There will be no point in doing +15 at the begining anyways

[final mist]

u t i l i t y

T a n k s

[grim prism]

big smooth brains up in here

[vast sedge]

Just sell 10s

[uneven mason]

[final mist]

And nothing of value was lost

The end

[undone sun]

wouldn't be the first

[hot locust]

I miss Thyme 😦

[undone sun]

wont be the last

[stuck oxide]

The only reason why i said they were doing +15 is because you said that you only saw 12/13 key

[tiny rapids]

@fresh dragon I don't wanna talk about it...

[stuck oxide]

They were streaming all day long

[tiny rapids]

Guys remember when @undone sun was still around? I miss that guy

[stuck oxide]

U did bot search far

[grim prism]

@woven pelican you should be using anger management (and the rest of the talents in the pinned guide) so you can use big defensive cooldowns rotationally. SB isnt enough anymore

[fresh dragon]

@undone sun where do u go??

[undone sun]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vast sedge]

@tiny rapids LUL nice miss ping

[tiny rapids]

Don't spread

😄

[vast sedge]

That guys gonna be unhappy

[hot locust]

Cozen when you coming back to tanking?

[final mist]

Never

[vast sedge]

Never

Cuck role, tanking won’t get better after legion and MoP peak

[final mist]

He doesn't even play this dead game anymore

[prisma crane]

[grim prism]

Healers are bottoms

[vast sedge]

[final mist]

Lala you died more than anyone else I know

[hot locust]

Only on Garothi!

[tiny rapids]

Yeah they can't tank.

[vocal nimbus]

will it be possible to clear +10 the first week?

[final mist]

To Garothi of all bosses

[woven pelican]

@grim prism yeah i'm in T.T thx dude ❤ good night. was here to look how did you manage that modification

[grim prism]

And in the heirarchy of sexual deviance metaphor, cucks are still superior

[vocal nimbus]

for average people

[final mist]

Imagine dying to Garothi regularly on farm

Yikes

[prisma crane]

oof

[hot locust]

Imagine dying on Argus to scythes during prog

[fresh dragon]

@vocal nimbus depend on HOW NERD are u

[stuck oxide]

He wanted to parse lul

[final mist]

You had to, it was the way the fight worked

[prisma crane]

i think i died more to Garothi than Argus if im honest

[final mist]

Idiot

Smh

[uneven mason]

@vocal nimbus average players more than likely - no

[prisma crane]

on farm* if you exclude intentional deaths

[uneven mason]

If you were doing them on beta maybe

[hot locust]

wtf is this channel right now

[vocal nimbus]

*mythic average players

[undone sun]

what it sohuld be @hot locust

[grim prism]

@woven pelican basically just demo shout every pull and you'll be pretty much fine. Good luck homie

[quick spindle]

It’s sal being toxic

[sick sentinel]

🤔

[vast sedge]

#thatsmymod

[final mist]

Liss I poach you to a good guild and this is how you repay me?

[uneven mason]

Sal's had enough of our shit and is letting loose

[prisma crane]

[fresh dragon]

@undone sun where do u goo?

[quick spindle]

@final mist you wish you coulda four tanked kj

Idiot

[vocal nimbus]

[uneven mason]

[hot locust]

@quick spindle I loved 4 tanking KJ

[uneven mason]

and ask paladins how their self healing is

[vast sedge]

Did ppl really 4 tank argus

[hot locust]

[undone sun]

[final mist]

This is only a small bit of OT

[vast sedge]

Holy fuck

[quick spindle]

@hot locust ❤️

[final mist]

smh

[vast sedge]

Deep farm musta been lame

[prisma crane]

we 4 tanked Agg and 2 tanked Argus, so there's that

[grim prism]

How do I equip two shields

[quick spindle]

I can’t use custom emojis, this server sucks

[undone sun]

step one, have two hands

[final mist]

Imagine 4 tanking M KJ

[vast sedge]

Glad I noped out

[prisma crane]

but you know how it is Cozen, Syz strats

[final mist]

Yeah dude that's the only shitty part about Skyhold

[orchid root]

Has anyone put together a decent pawn string yet?

[fresh dragon]

kms?

[final mist]

Even acherus has emotes

[grim prism]

@orchid root nope

[hot locust]

Imagine having to co tank with a tank who thinks their taunt is on gcd

[final mist]

And no pawn strings

[undone sun]

Dont use pawn fo tanks

[quick spindle]

That and im not Odyn again

[sick sentinel]

big if big

[uneven mason]

@quick spindle This is the prot channel, we're ridgid with our emoji's.

[barren marsh]

Peepeehands

[undone sun]

@hot locust yikes

[tiny rapids]

@hot locust gosh please no, I had one of them.

[final mist]

[undone sun]

The most active Prot has been in months

👌

[quick spindle]

[final mist]

You might as well be solo tanking in that case Lala

[grim prism]

Lmfao

[hot locust]

I WAS

[final mist]

Wait I think you were

L m a o

[carmine cosmos]

fucking aids

[grim prism]

Found the poor asshole who didnt turn off push notifications

[hot locust]

3 other tanks and I still did everything that fight.

[prisma crane]

you know what prot needs to be good, Gravity stomp, hit the ground so hard it pulls mobs to them

otherwise, forever M+ bench

[uneven mason]

TFW every solution is "Give us Gorefiends"

[prisma crane]

pmuch

[uneven mason]

The primary issue is

[prisma crane]

worked for DH

[quick spindle]

The other tanks were just for when you inevitably got booped off the edge @hot locust

[uneven mason]

when you yank a 2million DPS train of death on your face

IT EATS YOUR FUCKING FACE

[tawny helm]

👬

[grim prism]

Warrior would be so much better if it were DK

[prisma crane]

lol

[hot locust]

mfw co-tank dies last phase even though I'm the one that has to tank felclaws/obelisk overlap every time

[uneven mason]

Gorefiends is professtional level cause they can grasp mobs onto eachother

[vast sedge]

Everyone sleeping on warr smh my man @hot locust gonna prove the haters wrong

[prisma crane]

im fairly certain that we could do 5x the dps of DH or DK and still not get picked

[uneven mason]

😨 Tanking KJ

[grim prism]

Gorefiends is very useful for killing melee you dont like

Its like lifegrip with extra steps

[sick sentinel]

this channel and the random crying.

making me want oreo milkshake.

[uneven mason]

I'm glad I've been the most active tank

[tiny rapids]

@hot locust sounds like he doesn't... Shield Block Claw.s

🍕 🥛

[uneven mason]

in my guild Krotos

[vast sedge]

@sick sentinel you have a low iq

[sick sentinel]

so do you @vast sedge

[uneven mason]

Because folks are actually like "Ithought prot was bad wat?"

[fresh dragon]

[vast sedge]

Ya but I’m proud of the double digit club

[uneven mason]

and then i face tank shit that eats other tanks

[prisma crane]

yea, enough people know me to know that even if we're bad, you're gonna have to find a good tank to outplay me in a diff class

[sick sentinel]

🤔

[final mist]

Ikari you're so goods

Can you teach me h2p

[tiny rapids]
