Like I love the blue hidden skin but the mace for that looks like shit
The artifact is tied to the MH mog
In beta they were separate and it was dope
I normally run the MoP CM and the legion CM combo so I could be remembering beta. idk
Like u could get the back sheathe MH axe with the blue hidden shield
But now u have to pick the actual MH and the shield auto overrides any other shield mog u have there.
that's lame
Indeed
π¦
I hope I get lucky. Gonna open mine when I get back
I already have a DC shoulder, hoping for a better chest piece
how cool would it look to wear 2hand and a shield?
Apex defense
dual wielding shields looks better but that's even less possible
how would the Shield Slam animation look with 2 shields
Double punch
like raging blow
shield charge.
like a body slam
Everyone knows
It's the class fantasy
In a just world you'd slam your enemy's head between both shields.
in a world where warrior's only friend is his shield(s).
I've always liked ravager, but AM is life
I can see ur PMing 80% of the prot warr playerbase
LUL
(it's prolly not that high)
(It probably is)
"Devastate. Verb:
-destroy or ruin (something).
synonyms: destroy, ruin, wreck, lay waste, ravage, demolish, raze (to the ground), level, flatten;
-cause (someone) severe and overwhelming shock or grief."
It doesn't do the first one, but I feel overwhelming grief whenever I have to press it, so I guess the name fits.
oof. so true
You all think 45 ilvls is enough to forgo DC. New traits are iron fortress and shield slam.
Mythic plus focus
nope
Is the IP tracking WA not working, I can't seem to import it?
Says "Error decompressing: Unknown compression method (64)"
Nvm, there was an update for WA so that fixed it
hey guys, i have one question: stat priority is haste>versa/mastery. With Into the fray level 15 talent(with 4 -5 stacks) my haste is over versa/mastery. is that the perfect situation?, or do i need to have %haste>versa/mastery with any stacks?
Haste is life
You dont hit a softcap until like 160%, which you will obviously not be attaining
Disregarding lust et al
@mild olive Not sure if this is what you're thinking, but the stat priority doesn't tell you that you want to have more Haste than Vers, more Vers than Mastery, etc, it tells you what stats are best essentially.
There's no specific ratio of stats that you want.
Str > all other stats anyways
39 haste > 4 mast, 13 str, 24 stam, and 17 armor tho?
Yup
Its going to be imperceptibly close either way tbh
Well haste ramps up fast
I would too
The guide does explicitly say to stack ilvl on armor pieces /shrug
370 on legs, ilvl beats basically any thing on high budget items
+1 for 370
+1
I'm pretty sure that sockets forgoes visible ilvl. I say the 365 is better for sure
And its pretty close to beating any thing on all armor pieces
still close however
i vote 370
Again, it will be imperceptibly close regardless of what you pick
i love ilvl
But for real, Iβd craft the legs from BS @sick sentinel
I am eng/alch
Crafted 6 pairs atm, no big haste yet. No socket either.
i'd go with the 365
Hey me too
Yeah gotta level alch for raiding
The 370 has more total stat budget even with the socket on it, for the record
Probably
my asnwer is changed
Numbers dont lie
On legs a socket wont beat 5 ilvls
^
even if both end up similar, i'd prefer the feel of the additional haste
but that's just my opinion
Too many stats that 40 of a secondary will not even be close
Hmm @steel mauve might be onto something tho
On wrist socket would be worth more
Right on that end
It would be close on wrist/cloak and stuff but its no where close on legs chest or helm
Almost as if he is literally saying that the 370 has a higher stat budget even with a socket
Lol
there is only one way to settle this.... roll a 20 sided die. true Blizzard style.
Chest helm is azerite territory tho now, so its another debate, but yeah I understand what ya mean.
Ya im still used to high budget chest and helm, not used to azerite shit yet
Yeah
lol, the odds would seem more likely that's for sure
Thats why I said that I understood what ya meant @steel mauve
Cause I remeber legion stats bufget
Alright roll a d20 @sick sentinel
/roll
When it comes to Azerite gear, is it worth while to use a 340 "Brace for Impact" shoulder over a 355 Raid shoulder? I'm not entirely sure if the raw str gain from "Archive of the Titans" + the 15 ilvls overpowers the survivability gain of the bonus 220 block per SS.
If it's a natty 1 you have to reroll ele sham
@coral bramble it will
damn, saq is savage!
The only azerite trait worth sacking 15 ilvl for is DC
Wait not true
Only trait to drop ilvl for is DC, otherwise ilvl still wins
Depending on the ilvl, they might be a few others
Considering youre replacing BFI with archive, it balances out
If you were replacing a BFI 340 with a traitless or generic 355 maybe
The stats off the ilvl alone should still win
But Marok pointed out I should use my 370 helm instead of 385
Thats a lot of armor str and stam
On mobile but you can search it up 385 putrid iirc vs 370 mother
since the 370 had bfi and av, it was better than the 385 with i cant remember what
385 putrid has iron fortress
@fierce juniper wat
lol
And I do agree with him, even more so on the fact that I have a low shield and I prefer stacking BFI for bv
Are we valuing Veins so hard that its going to outperform 15 ilvl?
But IF is so close to BfI
Im on vacation so i havent played in a week. How are we feeling since the slight buff?
BFI and AV together with Visage yeah
bfi can stack not IF
You can get 2 procs of bfi
Youre looking at less than a 100pt difference in block rating avg from those traits
Likely*
Sorry Marok for getting you pingβed lol
BFI being stronger as a trait, but enough to outperform 15 ilvl?
Granted the 385 has shit inner rings
I forget what the traits were on his pieces, but yeah some traits other than DC are worth sacrificing ilvl for.
I mean, the guide recommends always taking ilvl on non-DC pieces because generally speaking they'll be an upgrade, but in some cases an ilvl upgrade isn't worth on on azerite pieces.
The DR gained from Strength and the health gained from the stam increase isn't a lot from 15 ilvls
compared to getting a better trait on a lower ilvl piece
But in the case of comparing a 370 BFI to a 385 IF?
Thanks for your enlightement Marok β€
Anyone have a link to @hot locust 's post handy?
Those traits are going to be remarkably similar in practice
marok can you comment on my pants as well? β€
That wasn't the only thing though, because Kral had to swap out another piece or something
i forget exactly what it was
yeah
Im on vacation so i havent played in a week. How are we feeling since the vanguard buff?
maybe its like a placebo effect, but i feel stronger a little lol
Heh
like i tanked an AD 9 and freehold 10 lkast night
last
and i felt i did pretty good
i didnt die except once when we somehoiw pulled like 4 packs of trahs in freehold
it was not my faulyt
Last week was a good week
i swear
@signal plover , check the tanking thread on the /r/wow
I found it thnx
this wk doesnt seem to bad either tbh
teeming can be shitty in a few places, but without fort it's less shit
and volc is nothing
this week seems ok
hmm guys how good is that horde banner trait?
wait. shit. my key this week is tol dagor
that last boss is gonna suck
on tyrannical
just get 2 range and a rogue
im so bad at tanking that last boss cause uh, i dunno if you ever noticed when you saw me tanking krotos, but i literally dont ever stop jumping
my thumb is on the spacebar just clicking it over and over
i jump while tankking always
is the stun thing based on distance traveled or time spent moving?
and jumping makes you get stunned or something on that fight
i jump too, but i'm fairly good at not doing it when im focused,
i dont even think about it, jumping is like subsconciuous
i also mostly jump when i move, not standing still
i just automaticlaly jump
when i stand still i A D A D A a lot
sometimes people are like "why do you keep jumping" and i dont even realize im doing it
omg me too
adadadaddad
but stuff liek that debuff it's not hard
i love when i start adadadading and someone beside me starts adadadading too
and if it's muscle memory, jsut hit your keyboard with your thumb instead of your spacebar
cat do you pvp?
nah i dont pvp
weird
im tempted to start pvping just for hippo mount
I adadada when I play my rogue or my encha shaman
@junior ivy tbh it took me lie 3 runs of FH to realize that one suds debuf stunned me when I jumped
and a wipe on TD to stop jumping
dude, freaking freehold man
ive had to train myself not to jump while healing, casue itd interrupt my casts
my disc ALWAYS jumps when he casts penace
human racial outta that shit π
so he gets stunned
Hey fellas, pure defensively ,which two of the three trinkets below would you use. Lets talk Heroic uldir.
orc racial π
pure surv I would say blockades and rezans
blockades β€
I would say blockades and rezan
Oh blockades my bby
omg i need a stupid DMC fathoms SOOO BAD
Its so good
BUT I DUNNO ANY INSCRIPTORS
2 of my good friends in the guild botrh changed from isncript to alchemy
you know the AH tho
what about the versa one, its a big defensive buff, isnt it
but if it's a magic heavy fight, you could probably argue in favor of the pvp one over rezans, maybe
its too expensive on ah lol
if you asked me personally I use use the double 370s
I'd prolly use the 370's too
how good is the blockade in this case. PVP trinket gives 164 matery and a big chunk of str on use.
purely defensively, I'd go rezans/blockades
purely defensively i was thinking of dropping Rezan, should i? It gives haste on proc, but the other two give pure defensive
haste is our best defensive secondary
rezan's is also only 1ppm
haste makes everything better
Rezans is great
you are asking for uldir
Love it
so haste makes your CDs come up faster
uldir ye
so when you tank swap you have CDs up faster
it also makes you gain and spend rage faster
that's my point mike
It's also fast
I lied
more haste=more rage generated=more rage spent=faster CDs
I think rezans is better
you're looking at an average of... 172 haste at 1 ppc
best bet for pvp one is in very heavy magic dmg, but even then, toss up
rezans feels like a mini lust
and in that case, i'd rather have a Jes
im hopin to get a jes this week out of my tol dagor
Honestly looking at that idk if I'd even take the pvp one over blocakdes
Rezan's also synergises with blockades
Maybe for m+ if you want some more burst
because blockades scale with haste
i love my jes. its op as shit
thornwoven or ritual binder?
i hate you and your rings
ritual
ritual
wow i hate you and those rings too
hehe
agreed. hate is due
both my rings are crit/mast
but yea, ritual
Especially if you're keeping a crit enchant on your thornwoven
@junior ivy Hello crit friend
I have a 355 haste/vers and a heroic rot scour
1,5k str for me is about 700 armor
si would rather go with Blockade + Rezan, is that what youre saying
rather than Rezan + pvp trinket
yeah rezan+blockades
should i try this on +13?
wait, did you go a +16 lastw eek?
My gear is so crit heavy the uldir armor gives me crit on the array too, I hate those rings too
@finite cairn Living that 1200 crit life
@finite cairn crit is good for m+
that crit/parry is so good for zul. kappa
TBH m+ is less hard than I expected
@frosty wedge no i just had that bug where i got a +20 at first week of bfa
and its been going down by 1 ever since
even though i generally only do +11s and +10s
ah, that's so nice
I can mostly face-tank +9's and +10's at this point
I facetank everything
Only issues I've had are dumb af dps who can't interupt
I have 25% parry my crit is so damn high, my arms is fuckin bonkers
I have been running +10s and +9s with my guilds alts even
@finite cairn Yeah I've got 22% parry or something
it's pretty silly
but whatever, I take the gear that drops
think i'm at like 20 myself. gear has been really hit and miss
20.88% parry eeeeyy
@junior ivy For some reason I expected to have to kite more
haven't gotten a single piece with DC on it yet though. π’
Warriors are the parry tank now, step aside dork knights
i rarely kite anymore in +11s
what's your ilvl?
Welp, about what I'm at then
when i got 380 ones
I'm 365 now I think
at least is not teeming fortified
teeming fort was pure cancer
fortified teeming is awful
Iβm at 368, damn 340 chest only DC piece I have
God those fucking magic floating things in motherlode
you must have a lot of other items that are spec specific, how is your bag ilvl that much higher than equipped if ilvl is king for us?
wasn't that week also necrotic?
is anyone else annoyed that its a brand new expac and we didnt get new m+ affixes????????
besides stupid infested
which you barely notice
infested is only for this tier btw
yeah next tier will be something new
I expected infested to be harder
but theycoulda gave us more new affixes..
infested is only hard in waycrest lol
they go through walls
through floors
lol
I have done exactly 0 waycrest m+
Blizz really wants me to do FH and KR
^
100% of my keys for 3 weeks have been those
all i want is a shield
"Hey you finished FH? How about you do FH again?"
lol, blizz wants me to not do M+
Blizz wants me to unsub
as is evidenced by the fact they keep giving me shrine
im nearly 370, have a 340 shield
oof
did atal like 6 times last wk
i got 355 ghuun shield
did get 385 gloves with a socket
i wana get a 370 version of it
but no shield
@prisma crane I got my 370 vectis shield on my first try :/
im coining tol dagor 12 this week
coined Atal on the 10 i did
aaaand ghuun i guess
oh, also good news, I found a new guild
"Protection" to be renamed to "legs"
Literally just walk away from your opponents.
grats sadbox
Transfered to Tich, took like 30s to find a 2/8M
i wouldnt mind TC having its 50% slow back
@zealous ore Agreed, good suggesition
@junior ivy @finite cairn do PvP for 355 ilvl DC shoulders
obviously it's great for dmg
@junior ivy It still slows, just 20% now I think
if you cap conquest enough you will get it
it's 20%
no weekly reward
so what do i do to get it
basically you can cap conquest for each week bfa has been out or some shit
CONQUEST
what
LOADS OF IT]
is conquest
ranked pvp
wins in arena and RBGs
rated
if you ever see "RBG" it's rated
if you ever see RGB it's red green blue
your MMR will be low
RBGs are harder to get into
a lot
over 50
no
no
how many in a week i mean
it's something like 15 wins per week's worth of conquest
you can cap once each week, but if you did not cap last week you can cap twice
up to 3 wks worth of "debt"
what classes go well with prot warrior for 3s?
so you have not capped for like 6 weeks
prot warrior is 3s is weird, do you have a dps spec?
i can play fury
the trick to winning pvp as horde is not to be horde... trick for alliance is to not be alliance. or so I've been told in all my pugs QQ
k what other clkasses should i bring?
Lockjaw spaulders. yeah boi we in this. there's my raid support, tradewinds.
at your MMR, just go with people who are ok with losing
will doing these 3s for conquest for shoulders ALSO contributre towards a hippopotamous?
healer and another melee wouldnt be bad either, can just tunnel a player and blow your load
after 1400 rank
Do both the block and "thorns" damage stack with Iron Fortress?
if you pvp regularly, 1400 is like, training wheels for ppl who "try" to pvp
@brisk flax yes
ok, you know what, im a pvper now. its decided.
1400 is trash rank lol
So taking 2 azerite pieces with Iron Fortress over 1 Iron Fortress and a Reinforced plating is better?
and that's coming from a guy that started pvp in BfA
if you wanna get wins above 1400 and you're new, just play with the same people all the time
both 370 ilvl
double iron fortress
you cant even lose rank below 1k iirc
double iron fortress is better Captain?
Iron fortress gives you block
317 block is like 10 shield item levels
how bad
also motherlode
havent had any luck
and tol dagor
Atal is faster though isnt it?
it is
just thinking time spent
yeah
so i just spam that shit
but finding the keys is also a thing
plus haste mastery is BiS for us isnt it at the moment?
not hard to get into 7+ atal's as a tank though
haste for raids, mastery+crit for m+
once you reach a healthy amount of haste where you can play the game, that is
I got me a +9 AD this week. woohoo!
I prefer staying alive
12 second SB does help with that
sometimes, staying alive means parrying the bleeds
Hey brand new prot tank here. If i have a unblockable damage source coming in, I prioritise ignore pain, correct?
IP/SR
should try to get an IP in any time big damage is coming if you can get both
LOL
Hit IP, if it's Shoot. Hit many Fs
I die every time im shot and bleed
Wait why should we go mastery + crit for M+
I'm just stacking haste and I'm comfortably doing up to 13 rn
Is there a way to avoid the bleed in kings rest, from the berserkers
That just kills my alllies
that bleed range is fierce
It strikes the nearest person in 10 yards if i kite it'll hit an ally
idk if that is possible in kings
@mellow bridge haste it is not worse, the value of the other 2 increase
i usually dont bother with kings anymore
You should be able to handle one bleed Fatcamp
I can handle one fine
If it's two berserkers, either CC one or let a dd actually take one
1 bleed is np
git gud
i'm not having issues with it. lol
I use shield wall and ignore pain, still die lmao
I cast demo on cd
what about F?
Whats f?
It's really silly that our active mitigation mitigates more damage than shield wall
Ok bois...my new Mythic cash gave me an upgrade to my Chest. BUT I need help with trait selection
Bloodsport or Blood Rite

secondaries matter
@gray parrot ilvl upgrade? then traits don't matter unless you don't have DC for some reason
yea its 370 over my form 355 chest
perhaps my question wasnt worded correctly
I have a new chest and I want to know what people think about the two tank trait options on it
I was leaning towards Bloodsport but I have heard people say it was questionable
I have read the guides @neon tangle ...I was looking for additional input
I have read it
I do not consider any one guide to be gospel, I enjoy gathering opinions of others to weigh all the info i can
well that's the guide we treat as gospel so
anything you ask here will be basically that
^^
oof
it's written by our mods so yeah
Blood rites gives haste, isn't haste like godtier?
Jeez guys way to make it sound like we're a cult
Also on icyveins blood rite isn't listed
SILENCE SPARKY
no
all hail Marok and his infinite wisdom.
ICEY VEINS HAS SPOKEN
if blood rite isn't listed, it's because it sucks dick
Ah.
No one can contest our lord and savior
@mighty gulch It's not "god tier", it's just very slightly better than our other stats
i.e. it only matters when comparing same-ilvl peices
heaven forbid we hold an interesting dialog where ideas and experiences are shared
@gray parrot the big question is: is there an ilvl jump involved and would the new piece be replacing DC
Got'cha sadbox. I've been asking around since im a new prot warrior and everyone has just told me to "get all the haste"
it's also more than we been had this dialogue....and it turned into that guide haha
@mighty gulch Just for an example, I have pretty low haste, but that's cause all the high ilvl drops I've gotten have crit
Isn't it like minimum 15 ilvl to replace DC?
What's the best way to analyze my raid's prot warrior's performance? I have a feeling he's overlapping cooldowns
best way?
@mighty gulch More like 30ilvl+
throw your logs in here
check da logs
it's not an interesting dialog if there's pins about it @gray parrot
check his cooldowns on logs
we'll eat them like wolves
nothing in the guide suggests that the opinion on traits came from anything more than his feelings
Hell even details can track cooldown usage in fights.
feel free to not comment then chip
Also why are you bringing a prot warrior to uldir?
Meat's back on the menu
I was unaware I was holding a gun to your head
on a scale of 1-dumb, how silly is it that I've killed mythic mother, but not mythic taloc?
@signal plover it is not replacing DC thankfully, the new item is 15 ilvls higher and has both traits
@sick sentinel hey I'm 4/8 for heroic
i mean, i'm trying to help here but if youre gonna be all passive aggresive about it, we can have @fierce juniper chime on his claims in the guide
shit I haven't even killed h zek
would that make you feel any better @gray parrot ?
Also I haven't played for a while. Why did they remove hit rating if you can still miss mobs?
cause it was hard xd
Err, what's the question?
But you can -still- miss mobs.
dont know they removed lots of stuff to make it simple for people in general
So why was it removed.
Bloodrite v Blood Sport
@gray parrot why not try them both and see? Youβre not locked. You can always reforge....form your own opinion and move on.
because I enjoy hearing from other tanks
Take bloodsport
to make the game simpler overall only 4 secondary stat and only 1 main stat to worry about
why not be efficient with my time and gather as much info as I can
@fierce juniper Did you have any thoughts on Blood Rite ( https://www.wowhead.com/spell=280409/blood-rite )
I would take Bloodsport there
@south bronze He should cast Demo shout a lot more often. only 2 casts on that zul fight
Eh, Proc haste isn't terrible, but I never recommend anyone take an "RNG" option when there are consistent survivability options to choose from.
Unless those consistent options are really bad.
@south bronze Don't know the dude's stats but I find it weird he's rolling Mastery ench on a prot war weapon
@thin mortar interesting.. how is his cd usage
Wait what.
Jesus yeah I see that log
How long is the fight?
ok i need to get him in here
crushers
I am curious as to why blood rite isnt valued as high. Does it change based on your current haste?
@south bronze oh that's prolly not good then
That fight better be like 2 minutes long if he only has 12 shield blocks
3.41 long
He should have like 20-26 shield blocks then right?
Some fights (i.e. OT-ing first zul phase, OT-ing MOTHER, OT-ing non-m-Taloc) you'll have dumb parses
^TM
wowhead puts BR in Average while putting BS in "special" with caveats to its value...which is dissimilar to the iceveins guide. That was why it originally made me question which was objectively better (if that is possible to say)
last phase i wouldn't expect him to SB, so i could see that. but 12 is still low
Yeah he needs to review the basics in the guide
could you guys help him?
So like 20 sb min right?
Two demo shouts in a 3:41 fight
he's open to learning
Depends on how you feel about procced bonuses. On high ilvl, I rly like the bonus from BS
Plus leech
One LS
Is he using bolster?
Yeah he is SEVERELY underutilizing cooldowns
Damn now I need to get in on this log
@south bronze he should study the guide pinned here as a starting point imo
best advise would be some light reading for him tust... icyveins is a sure shot for at least 90% of all questions
BRB
ok
In addition to a suboptimal talent buid
But most importantly, cooldowns are wasted if they are never used
@gray parrot Well none of the non spec specific outer ring traits are ranked in the IV guide.
Blood rite is definitely one of the "better" ones.
ok
he casted DSHout TWICE?!
smh
TY Marok, if I already have 16% haste do you think its better to skip Blood Rite then?
For Bloodsport?
yes
Dumb players playing tank for ez game
ok, ty
You don't need any specific amount of Haste
And with the current build there aren't really any soft caps.
I have 17% haste and thats before into the fray buffs, is that good?
His shield block usage is BY FAR not the biggest problem here
Hey guys could I get your opinions on this - I have a full set of 340/355 prot azerite gear, but my arms azerite is 385 - should I just use the arms set with no traits for prot for the stat increase?
the reforging cost is over 10k
=/
Keep deafening crash and replace the others
@grim prism is it the demo?
imo
Rofl
@south bronze it's literally all his CDs imho
Demo is the biggest one given the relatively short cooldown
Demo and LS are the biggest offenders imho
But yeah, basically all CDs
yeah
I have experienced true divinity. Last boss of temple buff + Lust + 2xOverwhelming Power + ITF = Tclap every GCD.
Say it with me
Jesus Lala
Lala that sounds orgasmic
He is running bolster and used Last Stand one time all fight. That should be a rotational filler for block downtime
π’ π΅ π !
I can only get so erect
Not a healthCd
muh avatar damage
btw guys how are M+ affixes this week for us? Should be pretty easy right
@hot locust
NUTTY
π
holy crap
154% haste is the buff we need π
so pretty
i never read bolster
Thats probably about the same, yeah.
Bolster is pretty much the defacto talent on that tier
He also needs to be running booming voice instead of devastator
what is the normal cd on last stand
3 min, reduces it to 2. But AM reduces it further
@south bronze bolster is really a stupidly strong CD
Somewhere between 50s and 1:40
Oh derp
ok
Yeah that
@south bronze We mitigation like 40%+ damage when we block, and it's 15s long
If you're swimming in rage (which unfortunately happens) then you can get it real low
so when you dont have shield block up you last stand
basically, use 3 shield blocks then LS
His blocked hits rate is better than a lot ive seen here tbh
ez pz
Its cooldowns, holy shit the cooldowns
I use last stand to block while i have both charges of shield block on cooldown, that correct?
Those make or break the spec
warrior is ALL about weaving cds
@mighty gulch ya
I started playing prot 3 days ago i think i have the hang of it already
Also, he is literally better off defensively taking Booming Voice and removing Devastate from his bar, than taking Devastator
yeah use it as a gap to recharge
Can you properly log M+? As in is it worth to log and try to see mistakes
My only issues have been "shoot" and the bleed in kings rest
@mellow bridge start logging before the key is in
I should prolly do that
Its hard to deliniate individual pulls but the data is just as good
but the Bleed has some tricks, I personally like to dump the bleed onto a hunter pet
Just ignore pain and pray?
and try to get some feedback
@mighty gulch DS + IP
Thanks for the feedback guys..
"Throw Rock".... its SuPeR eFfEcTiVe!
It's manageable ... somehow.
basically he needs to read the guide
Then you can use a wall to los it but your healer will hate you for that
that's a great start
If i DS a berserker does it reduce the damage of the bleed on me or do i have to DS before its cast on me?
it does
But yeah @south bronze you gotta yell at your boy about demo shout and booming voice
its dynamic
its all good, i hate my healer anyway. ROFL!
just try and keep up DS
remind me what booming voice is
@south bronze It would also help if he had a deafening crash trait
I do anyway
Blocking isnt bad already, and if he uses LS properly he will have 80%+ bloxck rate i think
on the zerker if possible
Booming voice is a talent competing with devastator
huge range generator and increases damge we deal to DS targets
Demo shout CD reduction, gives you rage, makes you do more damage
Its WAY better than devastator
i don't think devastator is competitive anymore is it?
@south bronze reroll prot and show him π
newp
Is there a list of boss abilities from dungeons that are blockable?
yep!
i haven't tanked a warrior since wrath naxx

@south bronze Deafening crash is an azerite trait that extends the duration of demo shout by 2s every time you thunderclap

Devastator is literally only better in terms of pure-single-target DPS
So you can hit really high demo shout uptimes if you have the trait
i see
combined with avatar + unstoppable force
^^
you spam it every other gcd
Its a DPS loss in cleave, and a defensive loss in all cases
you can get DS off cd before it goes off the mobs
so you get crazy uyptime
it's pretty absurd
And yes, having a deafening crash trait is borderline mandatory
You basically rotate through avatar + demo, then demo, then avatar+demo again
the CDs line up
You get what... 60-70% demo uptime?
depends but yeah
(I sometimes trade off high uptime parses to line it up with useful stuff)
(i.e. no use in having it on fetid while he's eating shit across the room)
i mean in a dummy scenario where you don't care about shit π
but yeah, around that
So, dumb question but. Is our armor reducing physical damage from dots? Doesn't make sense really, but a confirmation would be nice
no
Most physical damage bleeds are not reduced by armor.
Every once in a while there are some that are
...but not Zul's. Because that would be OP as fuck. Right? π
It seems like armor doesn't reduce the damage from the "buster shot" of the war machine mobs in ML
is it counted as a spell?
It's physical damage, but comes from a purple line in the combat log
Hi friends! Has anyone else tried running the Mchimba's Ritual Bandages trinket? I've been experimenting with one that I got and have felt it overperforming compared to some of the other options I've tried. Has anyone else felt this way?
Sorry for repeating, will just ask once more since we were all helping that guy with his tank's logs before
I have a full set of 340/355 prot azerite gear, but my arms azerite is 385 - should I just use the arms set with no traits for prot for the stat increase?
Do you have deafening crash on the 355?
can you get DC on one of those pieces?
@void sandal wowhead says it's fire damage?
@bitter venture keep DC piece and replace the rest
Okay, must've missed it over all the other messages, thanks for the input
when a log hits, this channel gets a-goin
I would take the reforging hit but i have the gold for that. So long as you space out your reforging times.
makes his logs private
Cost will lower.
it's 3 days right?
Believe so.
time to go home and see what the Cache-Fairy has for me.
@sand egret lol you aren't joking
/pray
thanks for the feedback btw
Other than the generic "do more damage" Is there a way to grasp threat better at the start of trash fights? I tab through targets trying to auto attack them all while aoeing but sometimes i still loose 1-2 mobs so i have to taunt back.
one better played Prot warrior helps us ALL out in the long run
perception is a bitch
Also I saw someone say something about zul. Just got M last night, i shouldnt have hone out of inc tc range and tried to pad for that juicy r1...
3 of 13 also feelsbad when you see ranks on logs
Poor warriora
I cant -always- have avatar up every trash pull
@mighty gulch My opener is: Avatar -> Charge -> Demo -> TClap
pull more shit
I have it up every 1-2 trash fights
Or Charge -> Demo -> TClap
Yeah. In higher m+ its up almost every pull with AM
I already charge demo tclap
yeah then just go demo + tclap
I already do this
is there a way to get threat over arms warriors that immediately charge WB/BS
Hire a rogue to tricks you
While tabbing to auto attacking. I said this in the first post
@bitter venture tell your healer to stop healing him
LMAO
And bitch to blizz to bring back mocking banner
Tbh
shit that thing was fun
It's my arms warrior friend
then I would suggest seeing which idiot melee is focusing the wrong add and SS it
That i struggle to keep aggro over.
yell at him?
^^^
does he like WAY outgear you?
I run d trinkets and never have threat issues. It is your arms warrior tbh. I never run with warrior dps, never have the issue of threat
As this nice healer told me yesterday: Don't try and solve everyone's problems, they gotta fix them too
i.e. if someone insists on going HAM on shit while you've got to kite
By like 10 ilvls yes
sucks for them
yeah a lot of threat is actually the dps not realizing how threat works (as a lot of them never actually had to DEAL with it in their play history)
Or being so used to legion threat values
like tell him to not pop his warbreaker + BStorm until after a few GCDs
give you some time to stabilize, if you don't have Av that pull
rumor has it @hot locust ran with three arms warriors and never lost agro on a single mob... not once. Or so the legend goes.
where do you find a warrior with 3 arms?
I heard Lala BootyClapped so hard, he pulled aggro from mobs in Siege of Zul'dazar
me gusta BootyClap
also GUESS WHO HAS TWO THUMBS AND IS GOING DARK IRON BABYEEEE
Reinforce with Thunderass crash?
woooooo

π’ π΅ π
do you know why thunderclap hits so hard? when stomping the ground our balls clash so hard that thunder hits the earth
rofl
Lets be honest, warriors throw more tantrums than the second boss in underrot
We spend all our time stomping around and shouting
thank god for my workday? π
lucky me, maybe. i pool my dailies until tomorrow.
My guild is deciding to extend on G'huun π’
oof
How am I supposed to get my azerite gear now π‘
btw lala, you need more vods. i never get to see you stream live because of work/life
They auto-vod on twitch
I just don't stream too much outside of raid atm
because I'm not running much M+ or anything.
I'll probably pick up in activity a bit though.

you're like my goto on that
I've been denied from a +4 for being a warrior
^^
rip
I'm always in a constant state of "Is this going to kill me"
the red machines in motherload... charged shot is hilarious on fortified
caught me pretty off guard last week with the immense damage it does
teeming necrotic fort. π
What mythic plus garbage do we have to deal with this week? https://mythicpl.us
i keed ofc.
ok
I just opened my +2 chest and got a 350 piece of gear, is that correct?
I thought it was 355
350 regular gear, 355 if it's azerite I think?
Wowhead says 355 regular gear 340 azerite
ah, so it does
Make a ticket?
I would - doubt they'll help, but hopefully if enough people report bugge dshit they'll figure it out
I'm still super salty about getting the same exact piece 2 weeks in a row.
well, finally got a weapon for prot, jist missing a shield
Does Resounding protection azerite trait stack ? and how does it
340 shield memes
im still using ilvl 300 shield and sword
i got a 380 rezan trinket from my cache. it says warforged but arent all 10 aches suppose to be 380 anyway?
most of my gear is 355+
I know that feel.
trying to tank the first week of mythics with a 266 green shield
uff
Bc it's their precious +10 key
