sick sentinel
#

But if I was alliance I would play a gnome

sand egret
#

esp male pandas

chilly brook
#

I’m just a troll by heart

sick sentinel
#

Or dark iron

sand egret
#

cleansing bleeds

#

is just the best

#

those KR Zerks be ez peeze

junior ivy
#

theres just nothing funnier than taking a raid as a tiny little gnome, protecting all the giant elves and humans and dranei from scary boss

#

its like haha you need a tiny cute gnome to protect you

ember arrow
#

well

sand egret
#

so funny story, gnomes were the preferred tanks in BWL alliance side

ember arrow
#

you needed us to protect you from mythic taloc

#

gottem

sand egret
#

since Nef was tanked at an angle where your camera would fuck up if you were too tall

#

RIP tauren

chilly brook
#

I mean why not be a panda and do the same thing and still have it be funny while also having a useful racial?

junior ivy
#

levko do you even know ive killed mythic mothjer now too

#

mother

sand egret
#

shorter tanks = better tanks

ember arrow
#

when will u start tanking bosses that do tank dmg?

#

:kappa

amber siren
#

toxic af

junior ivy
#

lets not get ahead of ourselves

ember arrow
#

🍍

#

hmm

#

that was supposed to be

chilly brook
#

Did I mention that pandas backflip every time they dodge?

ember arrow
#

@chilly brook really

#

thats dope

amber siren
#

pandas are for weeb furries

sand egret
#

I feel like that animation would get tiring real fast

chilly brook
#

Yea we do @ember arrow

junior ivy
#

that is kinda cool

#

i wish gnomes had cool jumps like some races have

chilly brook
#

Tfw weeb refers to someone who love Japanese culture but pandas are based off of Chinese culture

signal plover
#

Or u could just not play a gnome @junior ivy

ember arrow
#

tfw people call pandaren kung fu panda ripoffs

brisk flax
#

What's best way to deal with bloods with no BoP?

ember arrow
#

when they were in warcraft in 199something

brisk flax
#

and how many stacks

ember arrow
#

@brisk flax 3

#

mythic?

brisk flax
#

Heroic

ember arrow
#

ye

#

3

sick sentinel
#

#HordeLife

brisk flax
#

and as far as best way to manage the damage from it?

ember arrow
#

use cds

#

have healers spotheal

#

if healers are 🐒

#

then youre fricked

signal plover
#

Stay in melee to gen rage and IP

ember arrow
#

as warr u can at least use cds outside melee range

brisk flax
#

you wait to move out to drop pools until just before or you go early and sit there?

ember arrow
#

on dk its rip

sick sentinel
#

Spam IP

brisk flax
#

ya that's what i figured

sick sentinel
#

wait till last 3-4s to leap out and deposit your blood stacks. Spam IP until then.

#

Leap the last 3 sec

ember arrow
#

anyone else got the zandalari empire mount?

#

i feel its animations are way too fast

#

when walking

#

maybe its cuz my dk has 240% movespeed?

chilly brook
#

@ember arrow go make a level 1 panda just for kicks trust me when I say they have really cool combat animations

ember arrow
#

i know they do

#

but i wanted a dk

#

and they cant be

tranquil kraken
#

:(

ember arrow
#

i dont hate pandas griff

#

all good

#

i think theyre dope

#

k i just got exalted with

#

azeroth

#

waht does it give?

signal plover
#

Nothing

sick sentinel
#

A 355 helm with IF and az veins

signal plover
#

Nothing

ember arrow
#

355

#

i got 3 385 azerites

signal plover
#

#blessed

sick sentinel
#

And the zandalari mount is so amazing because it has a fast animation

ember arrow
#

it looks weird

#

when standing still or walking

#

its good

#

but running looks waaay too fast

#

on alts, with 60% it looks good

sick sentinel
#

What race are you?

ember arrow
#

orc

sick sentinel
#

Use gamon

ember arrow
#

i dont have gamon

sick sentinel
#

Darkmoon firewater

ember arrow
#

i get what you say

#

but i dont wanna alter appearance

sick sentinel
#

It is slower on taurens

ember arrow
#

to make my mount look decent

sick sentinel
#

Or use it on a non dk non pala

ember arrow
#

well

#

thats not an option

sick sentinel
#

On my orc warrior the animations are just right

ember arrow
#

i literally got

#

dk and pala

sick sentinel
#

In my opinion ofc

ember arrow
#

also

#

his roar animation

#

the sound comes before the movement

sick sentinel
#

Didn't notice that actually

sand egret
#

My horse is totally fine.....

#

Horses don't roar...

sick sentinel
#

You like your 5 horses?

sand egret
#

i'm confused....ya'll have weird horses

#

(yak mount best mount)

ember arrow
#

about to get exalted

#

with tilanjis exp too

sick sentinel
#

The spIder is also nice

ember arrow
#

they got mount ye?

#

the fixate dude

#

as mount

sick sentinel
#

Ye

#

It can fly as well

ember arrow
#

o

#

really

#

it doesnt look like it can

#

lol

#

its like a giant tic

sick sentinel
#

All of the horde rep mounts are great

sand egret
#

Horses don't fly, get out of your weird fantasy world.

sick sentinel
#

Invincible can fly

ember arrow
#

so can paladin horse

#

thing

sand egret
#

those ain't REAL horses

#

them crazy undead fantasy horses and flashlight horses

#

spits in spittoon

I had to race change from highmountain to orc so I could fit through doorways. Plus my mog looks better now. Big shoulders ftw.

sick sentinel
#

nightmare horses

#

pvp set on orc this season, is hilarious

#

floating shoulders

ember arrow

they will fix it once bfa comes out

NVM I'm a time traveler evidently

#

Don't mind me just getting back in my time machine

radiant mortar
#

Hey guys, quick question. Is there a pawn string for us prots ?

signal plover
#

There is not

radiant mortar
#

oh , ok thanks

sick sentinel
#

@radiant mortar just wear the highest ilvl item you have

radiant mortar
#

not Haste first ?

grim prism
#

Ilvl > all on armor pieces

#

Raw stat budget is often better than specific secondaries on jewelry

radiant mortar
#

ok will change my prio

sick sentinel
#

Haste only on comparing 2 pieces with the same ilvl

radiant mortar
#

and with arzerit armor? still ilvl oder skills

grim prism
#

You want one deafening crash piece

#

Otherwise yes

crystal night
#

Dudes last night I got my CD on shield block down to 12 seconds

grim prism
#

Wow wee, back to last expac's baseline 😂

crystal night
#

I'm bad at math. Is that 💯% uptime

radiant mortar
#

ok thanks for all the answers

grim prism
#

No thats 50% uptime max

crystal night
#

Ahh ok

#

Oh yes duh

#

That makes sense

grim prism
#

Lol

#

Even if you have two charges, they dont recharge concurrently so

crystal night
#

Yea

sick sentinel
#

100% uptime for 51 sec

uneven mason
#

sequential recharging - people forget this is a thing more often than not.

crystal night
#

What if they did recharge concurrently

#

Would we be OP?

sick sentinel
#

yes.

#

would need less haste then for constant block uptime vs the current design of the spell.

uneven mason
#

OP? Idunno

#

I think we'd still suffer from the same issues

#

We have effectively 100% block uptime

crystal night
#

I always thought not having 100% upti e on our AM was the main issue

uneven mason
#

No goodness

#

the fact our AM is not effective against many types of damage

#

like, melee attacks we have 0 fucks to give

crystal night
#

According to sco and frag that's the main issue

uneven mason
#

but "Shoot" and "Pyroblast" fuck us up

#

Dont...

#

just dont

crystal night
#

Yeah dude what's up with that shoot mechanic

sick sentinel
#

throw rock

#

at my current haste, SB is 15s recharge. making it concurrent, would only have to wait 3s for the next charge. LESS with ITF +15%, bloodlust, haste food, etc. Not to mention LS bolster windows, demo shout, etc.

crystal night
#

We can't block those ?

uneven mason
#

Throw rock

sick sentinel
#

would be too strong if concurrent.

#

and yeah throw rock will still kill us anyway.

crystal night
#

Yeah for sure

sick sentinel
#

😄

#

also, I've always wondered this, but never explored it

#

what causes an attack/ability to be "Deflected"?

crystal night
#

Spell reflect you mean?

sick sentinel
#

No. Deflected.

crystal night
#

I haven't seen that

sick sentinel
#

Not reflect or parry.

crystal night
#

Maybe party?

#

Damn uhh

sick sentinel
#

@fierce juniper @shut summit any idea @ "Deflected" means/from?

prisma crane
#

does a deflected attack even happen anymore?

sick sentinel
#

It does.

ember arrow
#

G L A N C I N G B L O W

sick sentinel
#

I've seen it not more since my ilvl has gone up.

stark sage
#

where did you see it? maybe its a defensive from one of the unique island NPCs

quiet kettle
#

avoidance

sick sentinel
#

I wonder if has something to do with parry, but idk for sure.

crystal night
#

Hmmm

sick sentinel
#

cus its worded differently.

#

I see it in mythics/+'s too.

#

I'd have to start SSing it.

stark sage
#

i have never seen it, do you use an english version of the game

#

or an addon

sick sentinel
#

But I've had that circumstance of "Deflected" attacks come up as long as I could remember since WOTLK

quiet kettle
#

deflect is the avoidance equivalent to parry, but for magical attacks using the melee hit table

sick sentinel
#

it is EN Client. 😛

#

Is that right?

#

I should prolly just google it up. But wondered first if anyone else here noticed too.

quiet kettle
#

thats literally what i just did

sick sentinel
#

I have only seen it with spell deflect

quiet kettle
#

its magical parry

sick sentinel
#

yeah @quiet kettle is correct. Its mentioned in wowwiki the same (although I know wowwiki is old/outdated these days)

#

interesting.

#

wonder if throw rock can be deflected.

quiet kettle
#

doesnt matter if its outdated

#

cause it's been around since parry

sick sentinel
#

ya

#

So that's why we can parry essence sear from mythraxx but not block it?

carmine ibex
#

so does deflect chance increase with parry chance? or: should I equip crit rings for tol dagor trash.

old zephyr
#

Maybe we should spec ravager then /s

sick sentinel
#

Crit and mastery's value increases in m+

#

Anyway

quiet kettle
#

deflect is built into parry, yes

#

i wouldn't rely on it tbh

steady dock
#

Hey guys, which is better, reinforced plating + lifespeed + resounding protection or bloodsport + ablative shielding + gemhide?

quiet kettle
#

pins has trait priority

steady dock
#

I know. Just can't really decide whether lifespeed outweights ablative shielding and gemhide

#

Just looking for a second opinion 😃

sick sentinel
#

I would go for option 2

#

Personally

quiet kettle
#

as unyun said, because ur not just comparing the secondary traits

#

but also the primary trait

#

and bloodsport is overall more useful than reinforced

steady dock
#

Aye, I was just holding onto the first one because haste 😄

#

Thanks for your input!

carmine ibex
#

saying "crit/mast increases in value in m+" is saying I should equip some crit/mast over haste/vers? or just vers?

uneven mason
#

ilvl is still going to lead

carmine ibex
#

of course

#

but I have alot of equal ilvl gear with haste, crit, and mast from my arms set.

grim prism
#

@carmine ibex we dont have an answer foe that

#

Marok has suggested that crit is very valuable in M+

#

But without sims we won't be able to accurstely determine relative value

uneven mason
#

its our highest stat for mitigation vs parryable damage

carmine ibex
#

I mean, I see the appeal of crit nd mast in m+, increased DPS, and increased chance of block/parry in AM windows to give your single healer a gcd back.

uneven mason
#

which, is a lot of damage in M+

grim prism
#

60-90% of an M+ is going to be blockable melees, depending on the dungeon

uneven mason
#

then you have waycrest

#

and TD

#

with SHoot and DOTs

#

🖕

grim prism
#

Usually more on the high end

carmine ibex
#

throw rock.

#

throw rock.

uneven mason
#

fffffffffffffffffffff

carmine ibex
#

throw rock.

sick sentinel
#

LoS

#

deflect rock

carmine ibex
#

I can swap out quite a bit of vers for crit or mast just from rings, I'm going to give it a shot tonight and compare logs with before, as well as the subjective metric of how many fuck-words my healer says in discord.

sick sentinel
#

I play with like 200 vers lol

grim prism
#

Yeah my vers is low af

#

But I only M+

waxen talon
#

Vers is very versatile 🦑

sick sentinel
#

Funny thing is, I pop jes in uldir and my array goes to vers

grim prism
#

And in four days I'll be completely unsubbed and probs leave this channel for the first time in two years

sick sentinel
#

And it skyrockets

grim prism
#

Err a year and 11 months

chilly brook
#

Big oof

waxen talon
#

what if they fix prot wars in 8.1

sick sentinel
#

I'm still having fun with bfa tbh

chilly brook
#

I don’t think his issue is with prot warrior

grim prism
#

Viability of prot war is the least of my complaints

#

I've already ranted at length

#

TLDR: bad endgame progression design imo, bad QC, bad communication

lost mauve
#

I main arms so my biggest complaint is not even how prot plays, it’s how tedious they have made gearing alt specs

granite meadow
#

Is it worth dropping deafening crash for a 45ilvl helm upgrade

waxen talon
#

i find it better than it was in the past

grim prism
#

No @granite meadow

granite meadow
#

thats what I thought

waxen talon
#

gearing alt specs*

chilly brook
#

Probably not @granite meadow

granite meadow
#

FeelsBadMan

grim prism
#

Yeah I dont have a problem gearing my alt, i have a problem gearing my main lol

waxen talon
#

if u care too much its a very annyoin design i guess

lost mauve
#

It’s better than in legion since you don’t have to level separate artifact weapons but it’s still not great

waxen talon
#

imo one of the major problems is

lost mauve
#

I have a problem with both, tbh, there is way too much RNG

waxen talon
#

how u gotta do all kinds of content to get best gear

grim prism
#

Yeah, i'm not even raiding atm so i'm not trying to hardline the grind, but the fact of the matter is our BiS azerite acquisition is entirely RNG-based

waxen talon
#

and i just dont have the time to sit there and conquest cap every week too

#

the fact we have a bis Azerite is what ruins it

#

deafning should get removed straight away.

grim prism
#

Gearing in general has too much RNG right now imo

#

More than ever before

lost mauve
#

Even when it benefits me it doesn’t feel that good

#

Like I got a heroic warforged Khor 2 weeks ago

#

ilvl 380

#

Should defeating heroic taloc warrant that quality of a weapon?

#

I don’t think so

waxen talon
#

i think the weapon drop design is amazing

#

since they cant titanforge

#

and +10 ilvl isnt thaaat major

chilly brook
#

@waxen talon uh no

waxen talon
#

like ur way better off just going mythic

chilly brook
#

DC shouldn’t be removed lul

#

How about we just make all the other traits good

waxen talon
#

DC is straight up broken compare to the others

#

make it baseline or some crap and throw the trait back where it came from

chilly brook
#

Or all the others are simply bad comparatively design wise?

waxen talon
#

u know most dps specs use neutral ones these days.

sick sentinel
#

My endgame right now is pushing raider.io score

chilly brook
#

DC is literally the only interesting trait we have

waxen talon
#

all traits are boring and weak

chilly brook
#

Yea let’s not make them all boring k thx

waxen talon
#

dude

#

+45ilvl not upg cuz u lose deafning

light oasis
#

Idk the way they’ve handled broken Azerite on other classes is to nerf them down

chilly brook
#

Might as well just remove the system tbh

waxen talon
#

most other classes are nowhere near that.

#

ilvl is upg for most classes

light oasis
#

I know. And I think the redesign is the only reason DC is still there

waxen talon
#

deafning has a broken baseline effect that makes it stupidly strong

#

make a new circle

#

and add likes of DC there

#

dont put DC on current circle where it doesnt fit.

chilly brook
#

I don’t think many would agree with you on removal of DC

waxen talon
#

Do u enjoy having to wear 1 low ilvl DC piece?

#

if no, then its just a stupid design.

light oasis
#

I think his point is the affect makes the spec feel good and work better. Not that he enjoys that it’s mandatory

waxen talon
#

keep the trait effect, add its elsewhere, like one of the 100 useless talents we have?

#

yea all traits should be lik that

#

but none of the current are

chilly brook
#

TBH I don’t care about ilvl

#

I care about using the best gear that I can

#

If that means I sacrifice ilvl I really don’t care

waxen talon
#

i enjoy gettin new gear

#

i hate looking at my equipment and seeing a 340 sit there.

#

i hate having to wear the same piece i got from pre raid release, til the raid tier end.

blissful pebble
#

If it were stackable it would neec to be adjusted. But you need only 1.

sick sentinel
#

play assa rogue you will have 3 340 pieces

#

welcome to bfa my dude

chilly brook
#

^lul

waxen talon
#

most DPS traits are gettin caught up by secondary stat procing neutral ones now.

#

cuz they scale way worse

blissful pebble
#

Also you can get a 355/360 piece guaranteed with minimal effort.

grim prism
#

@chilly brook the problem is that every trait that actually modifies rotation has been nerfed for being too good

tulip arch
#

They just need to stop tying gear progression to whatever progression for abilities they have in an expansion

lost mauve
#

Besides gearing my only gripe with prot right now is the fact that there is one and only one viable talent build, and if you deviate from it you are making yourself completely unviable

chilly brook
#

@grim prism yea because we can’t have fun

grim prism
#

DC only missed the nerfbat because only 5% of tanks plat prot lul

waxen talon
#

@grim prism the whole current circle layout we have shouldnt affect ur rotation too much, they should add another circle and then make it full of those

lost mauve
#

Like if you take sudden death over skullsplitter for arms, you take a DPS hit but you don’t make your class non viable

waxen talon
#

having half the traits modify ur rotation or be required is straight up stupppid.

sick sentinel
#

DC is so good because of our current talent build

chilly brook
#

We just shouldn’t have azerite gear

#

The system is bad

lost mauve
#

Like, imagine prot warrior without bolstering and anger management

chilly brook
#

TBH all traits should have something to do with your rotation

waxen talon
#

Still more interesting than having a chestpiece with 100 haste and 200 crit.

grim prism
#

d u m p s t e r

chilly brook
#

Hello it’s like the only way to actually have the traits somewhat intuitive

waxen talon
#

Thats exactly why blizzard announced a new circle commin soon.

#

not defending them but its not like theyre unaware of how messy it is

chilly brook
#

Not 20 different generic traits that have a chance to proc x affect which you can’t possibly know if it’s a good choice or not

#

So you’re forced to sim even though blizz doesn’t want you to have to sim to see if it’s an upgrade

waxen talon
#

then again

tranquil kraken
#

the best effects are ones like "spawns a servant of fuckface to fuck your enemies faces for 7 seconds"

waxen talon
#

for most specs ilvl > effect

chilly brook
#

It’s an illogical system and arguing for more illogical decisions is bad

tranquil kraken
#

what the hell does that do for me?

waxen talon
#

but u would have to sim which of the 2 traits ironicly.

chilly brook
#

That’s what I’m saying

tranquil kraken
#

Usually that will be on a trinket but I never understood how anyone is supposed to know if one of those "summons a temporary pet thing" is actually any good lol

waxen talon
#

that is why they are making a new circle tier again.

#

this circle we are in are supposed to be generic fucktard shit like ^

chrome harbor
#

we have no ETA of that new circle do we?

chilly brook
#

No they’re making a new circle tier to lessen the impact traits have

frosty wedge
#

8.1

#

new circle tier

chilly brook
#

Or rather to make it easier to acquire useful traits

tranquil kraken
#

I thought it was just to double up on first-tier traits

waxen talon
#

and that circle will be impactfull non generic traits.

chilly brook
#

Yes @tranquil kraken

tranquil kraken
#

so that each piece will have two, making more pieces have the "good" traits you want

chilly brook
#

Yes

frosty wedge
#

two choices per spec

chrome harbor
#

I coulda sworn they said they were doubling the out ring for now and in 8.1 they would be adding in more spec specific ones

tranquil kraken
#

I thought it was a combination of things

#

double outer ring + more "outer ring" traits added

sick sentinel
#

Like the one that gives us mastery and casts IP when we cast avatar

chilly brook
#

The new ring is literally just to make it easier to get the traits we want

waxen talon
#

that is pretty boring but yeaa its not super generic and passive

chilly brook
#

Nothing more

sick sentinel
#

It affects gameplay

#

It's something you notice

velvet sandal
#

What is it that makes prot so undertuned, and do you think the new mastery is going to help? I'm in a casual heroic raiding guild and we had to swap our prot warrior for a DH on Zul because he was getting trucked so hard in phase 2.

chrome harbor
#

the only real traits i notice are the 'drops a pool you stand in' traits. or lazer matrix because it goes pew pew

tranquil kraken
#

p2 zul is something I'm curious about as well - I don't really know what tools other tanks have to deal with that damage

waxen talon
#

u notice laser matrix?
u mean the passive proc on hit to deal spread damge.

tranquil kraken
#

so I don't know if it's my fault, if prot suffers there, or if all tanks just have a hard time there

mystic ferry
#

Just get bopped

sick sentinel
#

@velvet sandal ok, he got trucked but it is survivable

waxen talon
#

i consider leech while ignoring pain more noticeable.

sick sentinel
#

Do you have logs?

chrome harbor
#

its hard not to notice lazer matrix, i splooge lazers and hit/heal everything on screen

velvet sandal
#

I do, one sec

waxen talon
#

yea but it has no effect on ur gameplay

chilly brook
#

All tanks get trucked in p2

chrome harbor
#

oh no of course not

sand egret
#

I see we're on my fav topic again 😃

chilly brook
#

It’s bleed damage there’s nothing you can do about it

tranquil kraken
#

Yeah, alright

chrome harbor
#

though ive had it break CC before, just assumed usuall BfA bugginess on that though

velvet sandal
waxen talon
#

i dont think laser will ever be worth runnin in dungeons

chilly brook
#

Although he’s probably not staying on melee range and therefor is lacking rage generation to cast IP to help

waxen talon
#

its pretty shit when the damge spreads

#

would be 100 times better if it was just a ST hit + heal

mystic ferry
#

You had a fury on zul

limber wigeon
#

The classes that are strong in p2 zul are the ones that get increases on healing received. Other than that, most tanks seem to require around 40k hps.

mystic ferry
#

Why

velvet sandal
#

CASUAL heroic raiding guild. It was the alt of our 5th healer

chrome harbor
#

I just got a pvp chest from the emissary though, gives me the IP leech trait and i like it

velvet sandal
#

Then our prot warr swapped to fury when we brought in the DH

#

I've been interested in trying some prot tanking, but I want to be aware of the strengths and weaknesses before I start going for weapons

uneven mason
#

So like, we don't have any more issue on P2 Zul than any other tank

lost mauve
#

Physical damage mitigation is the obvious strength

uneven mason
#

Your healers need to be aware that the tanks are going to get destroyed

mystic ferry
#

Str: aoe dps weaknesses: actually tanking

uneven mason
#

and warriors need to be aware thaty they're going to get destroyed

#

and can't rely on your healers to keep you up through it

chilly brook
#

Damage seems normal

uneven mason
#

I take 4 stacks on Zul HC

lost mauve
#

Warriors are a pretty good choice on fetid, for example

chilly brook
#

But two of your healers seem low

uneven mason
#

I was having a hard time with it

#

Until

prisma crane
#

if you can, find paladins, leap out after 3/4 stacks, BoP to remove it, repeat

uneven mason
#

We kicked 2 of our healers and replaced them

mystic ferry
#

Warriors are so bad on fetid compared to say monks or dks

velvet sandal
#

Once we had a solid BoP rotation from our pallies it helped

uneven mason
#

0_o

tranquil kraken
#

Heh

waxen talon
#

bop rotation for HC?

chilly brook
#

Warriors are great on fetid? 🤔

#

Hello

uneven mason
#

g8b8m8

ruby sapphire
#

Full melee fight nah dude warriors are bad

waxen talon
#

External calling + gameplay should be way more than enouhg.

uneven mason
#

So basically on Zul, generally the issue isn't the tanks

chrome harbor
#

unless its positioning

uneven mason
#

its the fact that the healers have their heads up their ass

frosty wedge
#

on zul, no - no tanks deal with bleeds well

tranquil kraken
#

Alright haha

uneven mason
#

and don't understand that both tanks requir healing

#

That was literally what was killing me on Zul

velvet sandal
#

Okay. I really think we could do it with our prot warrior main tank, just wanted to get feedback from y'all.

ruby sapphire
#

Tanks die because of bad healers

uneven mason
#

the healers would stop healing when the other tank taunted

frosty wedge
#

"oh he's not tanking, I guess I cans top healing him"

tranquil kraken
#

Well, I'll try to work with the healers and get them to understand they need to be prepared for that

uneven mason
#

but at 3-4 stacks the previous tank is taking MORE DAMAGE than the new tank

lost mauve
#

Maybe I was just getting healer carried, but I did not struggle with heroic fetid the other night

chrome harbor
#

should vectis have taught them that? I feel like I took more dmg when I wasn't tanking due to the dot

uneven mason
#

Also save SW for when you get your last stack (whatever you swap at)

waxen talon
#

why wouldnt a class like pala be way better at dealign with offtanking zul

uneven mason
#

but yeah taking 4 stacks on ZUl, once I realized the problem I just kept repeating in Discord that "Both tanks need healing, keep healing Mac, keep healing, keep healing, ok BLEEDS OFF, TANKING NOW - MORE HEALING TO Inny!"

waxen talon
#

self heals, armor to lower bleed damge

#

bubble himself.

uneven mason
#

Because he's taking the difference in damage from Zul's melee

#

but you are right

#

they don't have to call for BoPs

#

but as for dealing wit the bleed damage itself

#

they're no different than warriors

waxen talon
#

again, i dont think ignore pain nor shield block will help u with anything.

uneven mason
#

IP helps A TON

waxen talon
#

i think ur better off playing paladin to counter ur own bleed dot.

uneven mason
#

staying in melee and pumping IPs while taking ticks is an amazing amount of reduced damage

ruby sapphire
#

Just leap out get instant bop?

uneven mason
#

more than the paladins self healing

waxen talon
#

i think ur better off playing druid to deal with ur dot too

#

i think ur better off playing monk to deal with ur dot too

uneven mason
#

Monks die to Zul easier than warriors properly played, since the DoT will kill them

sick sentinel
#

Got through a p2 log

waxen talon
#

the core mitigation of most tanks is armor tho

chrome harbor
#

does the maghar racial take a tick off of that?

uneven mason
#

it caps stagger and then ticks through them.

waxen talon
#

and we cant even block a bleed.

uneven mason
#

None of the racials affect Zul's bleed

sick sentinel
#

Dude did not cast IP when he had thr stakcs

#

And cast revenge

#

Also no shield wall

uneven mason
#

Yeah, when you have the bleed 9but not the boss) on Zul you swap to 100% Rage into IP spam

#

its how you deal with it

#

it makes a staggering difference

chrome harbor
#

not sure if monk pun...

uneven mason
#

and its staggering how many warriors just absolutely suck at doing it

#

Monks meta is because stagger cannot kill you

#

so you can eat a massive mechanic

#

and live

#

as long as you don't take more damage

#

its a huge safety net (what warriors lack)

#

Zul's bleed will kill you

#

going 🖕 your stagger

chrome harbor
#

tbh I like the mobility a warrior has for it, pump up the IP, then leap out and intercept back in

uneven mason
#

right

#

that is the correct way (without a BOP) to do it

chrome harbor
#

i feel like people always leave out a warriors mobility when talking tank strengths

uneven mason
#

eh

#

because there are 2 other tanks better at it

#

we're middle road mobility

#

VDH and Monk both beat us

ruby sapphire
#

If you don't have bop then make a healer escort you

sick sentinel
#

@velvet sandal tell that warrior to hang out here more often

chrome harbor
#

screw the leather tanks

sick sentinel
#

He did not cast ignore pain once

uneven mason
#

Yeah IP is crucial

sand egret
#

:shocked:

sick sentinel
#

Or shield wall the bleed

uneven mason
#

don't buy the "IP is bad" meme

chrome harbor
#

howd he get to zul without using IP

uneven mason
#

Because warriors are strong

sick sentinel
#

Spending all his rage to revenge

prisma crane
#

i mean, IP is bad, but you should still use it

uneven mason
#

vs everything but that fucking DOT

#

IP isn't bad

#

it performs its function

chrome harbor
#

idk i dont think id want to do vectis without IP

uneven mason
#

its just weaker than we'd like it ot be

sand egret
#

^

uneven mason
#

Vectis on HC isn't horrifyingly bad

prisma crane
#

substantially weaker

uneven mason
#

like, as long as you're not a flipperhanded monkey and eat a ton of stacks

#

Vectis damage is rather lackluster

#

its the rest of the raid that gets trucked by contaigien

chrome harbor
#

then i guess my healers just like palying chicken with my health

uneven mason
#

we can literally spell reflect every contaign

#

and we shouldn't get omega ever

#

so our damage relative to raid, goes down

chrome harbor
#

yea ill usually SR then take the rest of the edge off with IP after SR fades

uneven mason
#

over the course of that fight

sick sentinel
#

Vectis HC is a healer boss

velvet sandal
#

Thanks Captain. I'll relay the message

sick sentinel
#

We chill

prisma crane
#

on mythic we should be trying to get omega vector every time our SR is up

chrome harbor
#

true, im just OCD about always trying to min/max mit. possibly too much

velvet sandal
#

I really want to play some prot. Monk tanking is so boring... and then there is this https://www.peakofserenity.com/2018/10/09/the-fetid-log/

#

Feel like there is a lot more room for good play as a warrior

sand egret
#

yeah we were talking about that earlier

uneven mason
#

@prisma crane Right but we're talking about HC

prisma crane
#

it's more that there's a lot less room for bad play as a warrior

limber wigeon
#

Does heroic vectis even really do damage? I've never felt threatened by that boss.

prisma crane
#

if you dont decide to soak all his lines in transition, he doesnt really, no

uneven mason
#

Yeah basically if your raid is spacially aware enough to dodge lines

#

you'll down him no problem

#

his tank damage unless you're massively undergeared isn't even worth noting

#

he's all about that raid damage

#

and if you're properly cycling CDs to deal with contaigen bursts

half merlin
uneven mason
#

you won't even notice that

half merlin
#

any idea what to do here?

uneven mason
#

yeah use the 385 and the seal of loyalties

gray parrot
#

only PVE? keep the Pulsing Veins IMO

half merlin
#

only pve

uneven mason
#

seal is gonna be stronger

gray parrot
#

i mean you could argue it both ways

uneven mason
#

but its

#

hairline

#

at best

gray parrot
#

the crit on Seal is good

#

for sure

uneven mason
#

seal has more haste and crit isn't dumpster

gray parrot
#

but yea...its a VERY marginal difference i think

uneven mason
#

its just not as good as the others

outer dew
#

I mean

uneven mason
#

we're talking like, microscopic difference

outer dew
#

Do tanks ever really have a complete dumpster stat

#

??

uneven mason
#

crit for us during Legion

#

but that was more because of BC

gray parrot
#

vers is pretty garbo

outer dew
#

???

#

Vers is great

#

Wdym

gray parrot
#

i mean for warriors

#

in general

#

not prot

half merlin
#

love me some haste vers

gray parrot
#

but we in prot channel so vers isnt not the worst

outer dew
#

It's one of the little ways we can deal with magic damage and flat out have mitigation during haps

gray parrot
#

i guess crit is the worst in terms of prot?

outer dew
#

If my ass gets smacked by another earthlance for 65-80k I'm gonna cry

digital arrow
#

picked up a 370 back with only crit and mastery last night 😦

gray parrot
#

i can tell you how to instantly get better drops

#

spend the $7k on ring enchants

#

then go raid

#

the Blue Gods will drop an upgrade for that slot immediately wasting your enchant

prisma crane
#

Murphy agrees with you

gray parrot
#

has happened to me twice in two weeks

frosty wedge
#

yeah my monk got the exact same 385 chest 2 weeks in a row, i almost rage unsubbed

outer dew
#

I'd be okay with that tbh

#

Both of those

#

I'd be okay

#

At least I got higher ilvl ring

#

And now I got a az for off spec

frosty wedge
#

my ilvl has been stuck at 365 for 3 weeks and I"ve been spam running high keys and doing normal/heroic raid each week

#

lol

outer dew
#

I mean

gray parrot
#

I ran 7/8 heroic bosses last night...used both rerolls

outer dew
#

Unless you get az pieces from m+ chest

#

And don't raid mythic

gray parrot
#

0/2 on rerolls...and the only upgrade i got was a 370 ring that replaced a 365

outer dew
#

I think most people stuck around 370

gray parrot
#

im only at 363 ilvl 😦

outer dew
#

Is where you run into a gear wall

frosty wedge
#

I'm using a 345 weapon

#

2x 355 rings

gray parrot
#

i have a 340 shield

#

i reroll on Vectis (or whichever one drops the shield aside from Ghuun) EVERY WEEK

outer dew
#

Just whisper the guild prot paladin and tell him to get the shield for you

gray parrot
#

everyone knows i need it

outer dew
#

My prot off spec jumped from 366->372

#

:D

frosty wedge
#

:/

outer dew
#

Off a weapon/shield/shoulder

gray parrot
frosty wedge
#

I also ended up getting screwed by the RNG of the emmisary.

gray parrot
#

my poopoo items

frosty wedge
#

and got a 355 az piece

outer dew
#

Do you PvP at all?

gray parrot
#

I do

outer dew
#

There's a DC 355 shoulders atm

frosty wedge
#

I have a 370 DC helm

outer dew
#

Rip

frosty wedge
#

lol

gray parrot
#

Tofu check my link

#

i got the 355 DC shoulders on from pvp

#

my issue is my wep/shield are 350/340

uneven mason
#

I should do some PVP and get those

#

would let me use my 370 chest ><

outer dew
#

Rng Isa part of it

#

375 weapon/370 shield

gray parrot
#

im jelly

#

i have rerolled for a weapon/shield 9 times without either so far

uneven mason
#

370 shield 355 weapon

frosty wedge
#

I have 370 weap/shield from warfront and weekly mythic+ emmisary

gray parrot
#

ive been trying to find a new wep for arms or prot for weeks

uneven mason
#

I've gotten 2 370 2h

gray parrot
#

this is how sad i am...get this

uneven mason
#

no upgrades for prot

gray parrot
#

i had not done Kings Rest yet

#

joined a regular mythic...not even keystone

#

just to learn...and got a 350 2H from the last boss

frosty wedge
#

<

gray parrot
#

how sad as a 361 prot at the time...i get an upgrade from a mythic KR

#

i wanted to kms

frosty wedge
#

my monk, who I'm playing msot often right now... has a 345 weapon from warfront

#

it was my highest ilvl piece when i got it.

#

I have run probably.... 20 either KR, TD, UR, etd

#

not a single weapon drop

gray parrot
#

yea weps and shield are impossible for me to find

carmine ibex
#

I was using a 310 shield at 360 ilvl, spamming m+, no luck. then there was a 340 emissary, I did that, got the 340 shield. then had 3x 355 shields drop from m+ the next day.

#

ML, TD, and Under shields. back to back.

next ermine
#

would ilvl 370 gear with archive be better than a 340 with DC?

#

i already have a 370 archive with helm

gray parrot
#

yea ive run ML like 5 times in the last 3 weeks

#

no luck

#

i wish blacksmithing helped more with weps/shields

frosty wedge
#

nope, you need a DC @next ermine

grim prism
#

@next ermine no

gray parrot
#

i feel like this is an AA meeting for prot warriors

#

"Hi....My Name is Octane...
crowd response 'Hi Octane'
I have been weapon drop free for 22 days now..."
crowd claps

mellow bridge
#

I did it lads

ionic ridge
#

Ion just mentionned DC in the Q&A 😮

mellow bridge
#

I overcame the 1k raider score bar gg

ionic ridge
#

THEY KNOW

gray parrot
#

they cant take DC

#

or nerf it

#

it can only be made better

ionic ridge
#

Nope

#

It will be made more available

gray parrot
#

good

sand egret
#

that's fine

ionic ridge
#

Meaning you'll probably have it on 4th trait, and frees up 5th ring

sand egret
#

DC is annoying in the sense that it's good and there's only so many pieces with it

ionic ridge
#

Agree

next ermine
#

its not that theres only so many pieces with it

sand egret
#

they just want to give you way more sources of it, so its not a pain point

next ermine
#

its the fact that you need massive rng to get a better piece with it

sand egret
#

also where you get them, but that's still a related product

#

which is azerite gear in terms of availability didn't scale as well since its sources above a certain ilvl were so limited

#

but I agree

daring marlin
#

I finally upgraded from the 340 DC helm last night

#

Now I’m in the DC 355 shoulder club

#

:^)

next ermine
#

is that from the pvp quest?

daring marlin
#

Yeah

gray parrot
#

Ion...

#

Generic traits are NOT going to make up for tank traits

next ermine
#

bleh i really dont wanna grind out 1 1/2 bars for those shoulders

gray parrot
#

do not suggest that is the intention...cause that is absurd

next ermine
#

but i should, for 15ilvl upgrade to shoulders

daring marlin
#

gogo 3s

sick sentinel
#

same @next ermine

#

so zzz

gray parrot
#

what is yall's heart lvl at?

sick sentinel
#

28 21%

gray parrot
#

28? jesus christ

#

i thought i was above avg at 25

sick sentinel
#

there are euros/russians at 32/33 I think

#

but they also do like expeditions nonstop daily

#

be aware those 4th/5th ring azerite armors being like 385-400+ ilvl will need like 32+ level necks im sure.

uneven mason
#

I'm starting to think that they started working on warriors, collected data

#

and found that the data showed that the problem wasn't with the spec

#

but it was that the vast majority of players are idiots

chrome harbor
#

mage forums learn that every new expansion where people have to level again but cant face tank

#

then bitch the class is undertuned

uneven mason
#

Use ice barrier

#

a lot

#

Also

#

kite

chrome harbor
#

or just dont let them hit you

#

lol

sand egret
#

@uneven mason that happens way more often that you think! I'm currently working on that same thing on my project haha

#

however, it'

#

's had to say "yall suck, git gud"

oblique wolf
#

@gray parrot I started two weeks ago and I am ~5% away from 25

gray parrot
#

jesus

uneven mason
#

that catchup mechanic

gray parrot
#

👏

uneven mason
#

its pretty amazing

turbid dawn
#

i have a question im kinda new, do you guys think Vengeance and Never Surrender is viable in mythics?

sand egret
#

Nope

uneven mason
#

No

#

🤢

oblique wolf
#

no. Booming voice is incredible

sand egret
#

Bolster is equally so

uneven mason
#

if I had a better emoji for showing me puking on my keyboard i'd use it

turbid dawn
#

aight thanks haha

uneven mason
#

Vengeance is a gain in no situation

sand egret
#

But real answer: the other options in each of those tiers just FAR outshine them to the point where you're playing a shadow of the spec

uneven mason
#

Never Surrender - what the literal fuck, I get nauseous reading that talent.

#

No I mean, Bladesong, thats true for Indom vs Bolster

turbid dawn
#

so i should try keep shield block up and spam ignore pain?

uneven mason
#

but NS is the only talent that I could actually say is FUCKING BAD

sand egret
#

SB > IP

uneven mason
#

well that and ravager

oblique wolf
#

what is the scaling for never surrender? how high does it go at hwat hp%

sand egret
#

IP is the wetnap. SB is the towel

uneven mason
#

Its linear Zairez

#

0% health to have 100% buff to IP

digital arrow
#

lol well put @sand egret

oblique wolf
#

wow....

#

that is awful

uneven mason
#

No kidding

sand egret
#

yep.

uneven mason
#

or if factoring server response times

#

-2% health to have 100% Buff to IP

sand egret
#

Prot talents need a lil' love in the sense that they're just old and crusty haha

uneven mason
#

Prot talents are fine

sand egret
#

psh

next ermine
#

I feel theres just no variety in prot talents

uneven mason
#

they're just the most perfect form of "Choice is an illusion"

gray parrot
#

^this

sand egret
#

look at the bolster tier and tell me which is the "new" one

gray parrot
#

Spazzle gets it

#

you have no choice

uneven mason
#

@next ermine There never has been

turbid dawn
#

and we run anger management in mythics is my last question lol

gray parrot
#

there is a path...and that is it

next ermine
#

i know

#

thats my point

sand egret
#

AM is mandatory

#

im putting mah foot down on that one

uneven mason
#

Name a single point in the game where we've had flexibility in our talents

next ermine
#

the only talent ive ever changed is itf and punish

uneven mason
#

You either used the meta build

#

or you suck

turbid dawn
#

gotcha

sand egret
#

uh

uneven mason
#

Punish only looks good on paper

sand egret
#

how can you say "Prot talents are fine" and then go make that statement

uneven mason
#

ITF will beat it in all logical tanking situationas

sand egret
#

it's completely contradictory

uneven mason
#

Because Bladesong

fair brook
#

You run a diff. Tank in mythics. I love prot but damn, I finally leveled my BDK and I can do 10s with zero effort compared to prot.

uneven mason
#

Its literally been that way since the game came out

#

there was 1 concrete build

sand egret
#

that isnt fine

uneven mason
#

But its how its always been

#

and always has been

#

and always will be

fair brook
#

Doesn’t make it right

uneven mason
#

There is no tank right now with flexibility

sand egret
#

if i had to shoot myself in the dick with a nailgun everyday to get out of bed for years, doesn't make it fine

#

Talents are built around the notion of choice. If there is none, then it's fundamentally not fine.

uneven mason
#

Nono, Blade you have it the other way

fair brook
#

“New update: removing nail guns from prot rotation....”

uneven mason
#

So, To get out of bed you use the meta build

gray parrot
#

any of yall tank (H) Ghuun?

uneven mason
#

if you don't you get shot in the dick with a nailgun

sand egret
#

Just because one build works, doesn't make talents fine

uneven mason
#

Yeah Octane

#

But our talents are fine, I'd go so far as to say our talents are fucking overpowered

gray parrot
#

i know im not playing perfect but i felt like I was getting hit like a truck

uneven mason
#

Because Ghuun hurts

#

he doesn't fuck around

gray parrot
#

my counter tank is a 373 DK

uneven mason
#

got logs?

fair brook
#

You were. Try it on BM monk and laugh

uneven mason
#

BM monk gets trucked just as hard

#

but can't die between tank swaps

gray parrot
#

yea let me get them

uneven mason
#

😉

fair brook
#

I have no issues on monk, prot sucks healers dry on ghun

uneven mason
#

TFW BrM requires more ERHPS

uneven mason
#

if you're OOMing your healers as prot

#

either they're healing like ass

#

or your playing like ass

fair brook
#

Right, right, which is why everyone takes prot for prog

#

You’re blind, fanboy

gray parrot
#

I was trying to look at that Mactier

fair brook
#

Gotta admit those blind spots, even if ya love warrior

gray parrot
#

there were several times in the last pull where I wasnt healed for like 12s

chilly brook
#

Yo fam you do Mythic g’huun @fair brook?

neon tangle
#

Seems like you have some gaps in SB in there

gray parrot
#

and I feel like...that cant be good

neon tangle
#

and overlapped SB w/ LS

gray parrot
#

but I also know several times where I def fukt up my rotations

fair brook
#

Don’t need to, check those that are

chilly brook
#

Ok

#

Cuz I have

#

Aka Sense

#

And he doesn’t drain his healers mana

#

At all

gray parrot
#

noob question sadbox

#

overlapping SB/LS is bad?

sand egret
#

yep

gray parrot
#

fuk

sand egret
#

if you have Bolster

gray parrot
#

lol

sand egret
#

then youre blocking when blocking

neon tangle
#

@gray parrot They both cause you to block every attack

sand egret
#

its effectively hitting SB twice

chilly brook
#

@fair brook so don’t come in here and spout nonsense

gray parrot
#

ok that will help immensely

sand egret
#

imho, it's on eof the biggest (i do this ALL the time) mistakes a Prot can make

gray parrot
#

you probably see me stack them a lot lol

sand egret
#

as you lose a SB charge on the backend

gray parrot
#

eof?

#

one of...got it

neon tangle
#

@gray parrot Generally speaking as prot what you should do is keep SB up as much as possible, and then use LS, SW, etc to bridge the gaps

sand egret
#

LS's main use is to allow your SB charges to recharge

#

it lasts 15 seconds

neon tangle
#

^^^

sand egret
#

which is 1 charge

gray parrot
#

ah

#

ok

sick sentinel
#

did Ion just say no prot class changes in 8.1?

#

2 charges for me.

#

at my haste.

gray parrot
#

what is your haste?

stone imp
#

He literally just said prot class changes in PTR

signal plover
#

Lol

stone imp
#

"soon"

sick sentinel
#

"further in the spectrum"

#

after 8.1

#

typically I wait 3ish seconds after my last shield block charge too to get some HP umf out of LS, along with the 15s block.

gray parrot
#

im at 17% while solo before buffs

neon tangle
#

@gray parrot You can also probably keep your demo shout up longer

gray parrot
#

yea last night i had very poor demo %

#

was like 35% or something during the time when Ghuun was out

#

I wasnt using it when i wasnt tanking

sick sentinel
#

I lied 14s.

#

but thats with 15% ITF

#

im 1,207 haste rating tho.

neon tangle
#

You also spent like 30s w/ capped rage at one point

gray parrot
#

what should I use to burn rage?

#

i normally use LS

sick sentinel
#

IP.

neon tangle
#

IP

gray parrot
#

or IP

#

rather

#

not LS

#

ok

signal plover
#

LS doesn't cost rage...

gray parrot
#

so im doing that right

neon tangle
#

use IP or Revenge if IP is worthless (i.e. will be capped)

sick sentinel
#

IP, to keep it up/capped. If its still green/full (speaking of the IP weak aura), do a revenge. sure.

strong forum
#

potential prot warrior changes
coming soon™ on ptr

neon tangle
#

But capping rage means you're not getting the most out of anger management

sick sentinel
#

hope its just some talent changes.

neon tangle
#

which means your CDs will take longer to come off CD

sick sentinel
#

Im not looking/wanting for any big changes.

I don’t want to look @strong forum

expecting them more likely to fuck shit up.

we're totally gonna get "easier" to play, unfortunate for some

sick sentinel

as thats their track record w/ warrs.

gray parrot
#

my normally rotation is pull...demo -> SB -> SS-> TC -> IP

#

and i try and keep SB and IP up as often as possible

sand egret

but I expect us to get more "tools" and utility (going off of Ion's response just now)

U should avatar before demo

I charge my party. Free rage.

#

Avatar > Heroic leap.

#

then we got this guy ☝ haha

chilly brook
#

You really don’t need double charge rage

#

TBH

sick sentinel
#

serves me fine. Simplifies pulls, never rage issues, never threat issues.

gray parrot
#

how can i tell if the main issue is my rotation or healers messing up?

sick sentinel
#

no threat of dying.

gray parrot
#

I know ill never be perfect

#

but i wanna make sure I know if its mainly me or if I just need to be patient with healers as they learn

sand egret
#

you can tell by your own mitigation usage, we can only do so much after all

chilly brook
#

If you got logs I can tell you whether it’s you or the healer

sand egret
#

the flipside is that it's painfully obvious as a warrior when you do mess up

sick sentinel
#

mhm.

sand egret
#

Bwomsamdi will be telling ya so

gray parrot
#

i have logs

#

there is so much i dont know how to interpret

#

this is damage taken during the time Ghuun is out

neon tangle
#

lol I love how they're like "yeah but we can't just change stuff without a lot of advanced notice"

gray parrot
#

the DK is tanking so much more

neon tangle
#

As they do that, warriors get dicked for a whole raid tier

gray parrot
#

do they just not mitigate as much?

chilly brook
#

Throw me a link

sick sentinel
#

DK is also near maximum active more.

#

this doesn't show all the details though. such as ability usage etc

chilly brook
#

^

#

Like I said throw us a link

gray parrot
#

i know 100% I can get better

#

but im just trying to understand all the factors/variables i have to work with

#

i dont think our healers do assigned healing...i think its kind of a FFA. Not sure if that is ideal or not

#

the last time I raided was Vanilla...and I was a healer and we had assigned groups of who we healed

You're overusing IP

#

you're not using SB properly

gray parrot
#

i try and use SB basically off CD if i have aggro

uneven mason
#

you use last stand when you were no longer taking melee (its block)

#

you were using SB after you got aggro

#

so it overlapped with the other tank getting hit

chilly brook
#

Your SB casts seem kinda low tbh

uneven mason
#

you went over 15s witout using SB

#

while being beat on

chilly brook
#

Your avatar casts are really low

gray parrot
#

yea i dont use avatar as much as i should

#

i know that for sure

chilly brook
#

Only 2 casts the whole fight

jagged bay
#

hey guys quick question: would you take a 2nd time archieve of the titans or brace for impact? (helm from mother)

uneven mason
#

You're REALLY not optimizing DS uptime

jagged bay
#

385

chilly brook
#

You should probably be about twice the amount of Shield Block casts as you have

uneven mason
#

You're only gaining 4 seconds

#

meaning you're not stacking it with Avatar atall

#

you have 1 shield wall

#

the entire fight

gray parrot
#

ok im confused

uneven mason
#

should have 3+

chilly brook
gray parrot
#

how does avatar matter as much as you all are suggesting

chilly brook
#

Your casts

#

My casts

#

For reference

uneven mason
#

last stand should be way more (like 6)
