even in other games im not safe from wow @prisma night
You can never escape lol
Hi all, Im finding thios week that my dps is sucking more, I think its ebcause I still dont have an azerite piece with Reorigination array. Im pulling about 6k on most boss fights in uldir, our pally tank pulled a lot more than me this week. My ilvl is 368. I cant see any issue wioth my talenmts or rotation, but any help is appreciated.
Also his burst damage on pull this week is pulling the boss off of me, I have to taunt twice on opening
the only boss people should pull from you is mother because her aggroo seems broken in the first room
do you have logs you can share?
DC is kinda mandatory yeah
yeah mopther pulled off of me, and Zek did on the open when we all blow pots, after the pull its fine
other than that a good shield and weapon both do more damage
got a link to your armory?
losing aggro right at the start is mostly normal since you're going to spend 2~ GCDs just getting ready to dump your damage
Detailed character history for Hiddenrage, US-Aman'Thul: loot history, guilds, build changes
Thanks yeah its only on the opening pull, 3 weeks ago our old pally tank couldnt hold aggro against me at the initial pull I had to stop potting
I told them all to wait til I get 5 sunder armors off but... crickets.
a bursting pally is hidious when hes good xD
Hes a little better ilvl than me and hes pulling 0.1% off of the best pallys dps right now
Im hoping thats all it is
I think the best pally tank dps right now is a guy called Blueprint, and our pally tank is almost matching his dps basically
hmm i quick compared your fedit and vectis logs to mine, tbh idk what wrong but in most cases ur normal Meleehits are top of ur damage , on my logs TC and SS are way over my normal meelehit dmg
I only just got an azerite piece with deafening crash before the raid yesterday and i thought that would have helped TC damage
hmm well what im seeing is that in a 2:50 fight u using only 30 TC, compare to me who does like 37 in a 2:10 fight. something is up with ur haste . how much do u got atm?
With into the fray its like 22% plus raid food and flasks etc it should be good
Maybe I nmeed to focus on tightening up thunderclap a little more, but I thought I pretty much hit it on cd so will watch it
its 29% in game with 4 stacks of into the fray
@limpid leaf when it comes to thunder clap/deafening crash DPS...
YOU MUST SPAM TO GET THE HAM
๐ ๐ฅ
lol
gotta change my nickname on this discord
thanks guys, see how it goes on zul tonight
Do people take the raid feast or are they using the fish n chips haste food?
Raid feast if you're lazy
Not a huge deal
The most optimal is changing to dps for raid feast then back to prot
But my guild pulls really fast between wipes so fuck it
ok, I have been specing fury to eat for the str and then back to prot
its annoying. i wish prot also just go main stat from feast. it seems like a relic from ancient times by now.
rarely ever if at all will the 100 stamina ever be enough to have saved you from a one shot
most def. i almost feel stamina flask also is pointless by now but i guess there could be hypotethical scenario in future raids were more hp to juice up for hard hitting magic nukes could be clutch. but that also feels like ancient times when externals and tank cds werent available.
it doesnt help that strength also increase our health, armor as well as our ignore pain
remember the days when boss abilities hit so hard you had to rotate healer CDs just to survive?
what were those potions called you could drink as a warrior
stoneblood maybe?
it would give you loads of armor
for like 25 seconds
ppl used to eat em like candy for patchwerk
fuckin OG Naxx man
most crazy and imbalanced raid ever
my guild got stuck on 4 horsemen
im sure there were 5 other warrior ready to equip a shield and help out when you died
yep you legit couldnt do 4 horsemen without like 8 tanks
The sheer fact that you needed 8 geared warrior tanks for 4 horsemen is astonishing
it was utterly retarded
^^^
we didnt have said tanks and couldnt win
I swear that raid wiped actual guilds
Afaik they needed the 2 set from Naxx too so taunt couldn't be resisted?
yeah that sounds right
also there was this thing
called crushing blows
basically boss crits
so if you had a really hard hitting ability and bad RNG
you would get 2 crushing blows and gibbed
cause defense wasa skill
and if you didnt have certain x defense for x boss
you could be hit with boss crits more or less
its been so long I forget exactly how that system worked but it was fucked up
cause if your tanks (such as the ones you had to gear for 4H) werent defense capped they could be gibbed at any moment
and it depends what they go by
Defensive gear got heavily nerfed with the ZG patch
is there a reason why there's nothing for prot warrior on bloodmallet lol
Cause u can't sim prot warrior
There is no sim profile available for prot warriros
or atleast not one that is reliable and that gives accurate numbers
wtf why
ye
- yay we can actually try and kill bosses *
well at least if you couldnt kill the boss you could go back to MC and gear up the other 20 people in your raid
Aq40 u mean
then the guilds who somehow had 8 tanks to kill 4H got to farm a million hours worth of frost resistance gear so they could kill sapphiron
omegalul
ideally you wanted thunderfury on tanks, the lifegiving gem from broodlord on tanks. it was a lot of work essentially running all raids every reset to min-max
Ruinous bolt or callous reprisal?
@eager phoenix oh man, absolutely. any serious guild would clear every single raid after the reset.
were talking overall, a huuuge raiding schedule compared to today
granted you could smash those raids in a couple hours each but still
thats a lot of getting people online at the same time just to farm everyting
ahd to be 'uncrushable'
Huzzah we got zul.. after 3 weeks ๐
Healer kept dcing and wiping lol
yo, is 1x archives trait enough as prot ? just got 2nd one in azerite chest from vectis , but im already running with mother head which has 1
my actuall chest has BFI and Strength in Numbers
you needed 6 tanks not 8
8 was for the strat that could recover from taunt misses
6 for if all 6 had 2set
(for 4hm)
a bigwigs extension i made for 4hm is still used on private servers.. feels weird
More like they just caved in
yeah not yet yhough, its not live right now
@prime kernel You only benefit from 1 archive trait, 2 makes no difference
yeye i know , was wondering if that flat STR buff that's juggling from it , was worth taking 2nd archives (wasnt thinking about doubling the array value or smth :P)
but i guess i'll just take the 2nd piece with Brace for Impact then
btw. that change for IP and the gcd removal is decent as fuck , just wish they'd at least upgrade it from 50% to ...i'd say 70/75% ;/
true that 90 from Legion was kinda too OP
Higher value just makes it deplete faster
Its pretty meaningless to increase it unless we have the rage to continually keep ip up
yeah, the thing is that , now it can only absorb up to 50% of inc. attackt, which means something can kill u through it
But when it was 90% back then , we could pretty much build a crazy absorb with high ilvl and STR, that'd soak almost all the dmg inc ,
dunno, it felt really smooth for me b4
It Doesn't matter when the value is half of the attack anyway
50% isn't so bad though, means hots and stuff still heal you
while your barrier lasts longer
its not good for big one off hits of course
But we don't take big hits anyway
Blood Rite or Iron Fortress?
IF
Good Morning fellow Prot'ers
what do you all look for on your raid logs when gauging improvement in tanking?
I have mainly focused on uptime % of DS
would u go for IF, BFI and TC or would u go for archive instead of 1 of those
what is TC? Thunder clap?
y
at the moment at least
yea make sure one piece has DC
question is , is archive beter then Iron fortress, brace for impact etc
or is it not a "Must have"
Depends what you're looking to improve. If you have problems with surviving or feel like you require too much healing, then DS, SB, LS and SW uptimes relative to each other (ideally you always want some defensive running) would be a good place to start
@gray parrot
if you have several (3+) stacks of the Reorginiation buff from Archives...then go Archives
i got 8 stacks ^^
Thanks Maaks, I have just been comparing my DS% uptime week over week
and I am improving that a lot...I am around 50% on fights where I am not 100% on the boss at all times (fetid, vectis, etc)
ive gotten 60-65% uptime on some fights so I feel like that is solid
but I want to make sure any other "metrics" I could use arent suffering as a result.
Not 100% on the boss on fetid? :o i never really liked thrash tanking there
well our heroic strat is they let the boss go eat the add
Felt like we have more to offer with stable damage intake
and me and the other tank are not to move
so we sit in that bush/rock area that lets you tank the knockback without getting moved
so there are 2 times where im just sitting there doing nothing (sometimes throwing my wep if he is close enough)
so ill save my ava/DS combo for when he comes back and i can get the benefit from DC trait
but here is my log from last night
we cleared 7/8 heroic and jumped into mythic (we allow 90 mins for heroic and quit where ever we are to progress in mythic for hte last 90 minutes since we have aotc already
on Zek i got 62% up time on DS which feels solid (correct me if this is bad)
last week i only managed 41%
we are currently stuck at 2/8 Mythic, working on Zek now. I am one of the lowest geared people (stupid 340 shield!) and want to make sure that I focus on squeezing every bit of performance I can out of my dude so as to make it easier for the raid
How does IP work?
Like is it buffed that prevents upcoming damage?
or doesi t heal you for previous dmg
it lasts 12s or until the max amount was absorbed

For those of you who have raided in Mythic...what was your ilvl when you first started in Mythic Uldir?
350-ish?
There are 89 Parses at my ilvl on Mythic Taloc...but only 7 on Mythic Zek
i was 350-355 or so
yea
Mother?
Zek
Ah
Could bother to LS more, but yeah it's kinda mindboggling
yea we had some....issues lol
currently our healers are not assigned to anything or anyone
and im the "offtank"
why does everyone say my character name
Yikes.
so there was a lot of miscommunication on when I would get a CD or use one of mine...and overlap was happening
LS alone should keep you up if you're taking 2 of the 3 parts of a combo
the other tank (officer) explained how the boss combo worked so that people would heal me up during it cause OMG shatter XD
This will probably get me scolded, but I tend to hold Wall for really unlucky shit if I can't move the boss in a clutch circle for fear of lashing the DPS.
So I just wall SR and throw and IP and I tend to survive the damage
It's not an "upfront" thing.
unless you move him like a monkey
It's a "there is an entire occlusion and everyone moved the way I was going to path the boss" thing.
well our issue currently is getting used to the 4 rings from Darkness
So it's either hit the entire raid or wall and suck it up
and yea I am with you Swole
i have the mechanic of the rings down but some people are still in panic mode
so I try to be extra careful with boss positioning
Ring and eyes probably the biggest goon check
rings man....no one said shit about how much faster they go in Mythic lol
eye beams we are fine on...but jesus H the rings lol
Yeah, not if you're in the center band of the middle ring and the mid and center close for the next one and you can't walk through walls or range your healers.
and our DPSers are usually insane but we struggle to down the little baby adds in time before we do the big 3
yea im usually 100% fine on the first 2-3 rings without needing to use my leap
i realized how not to be a derp when Darkness is first starting...and actually stand about 8y away from the boss then...cause you will be on the line of the first/second ring
so you can easily move 1-2 steps to be in either while still being run-safe distance of ring 3 if it pops there
but 2 lash and a shatter hurts the booty, man
i am thinking it might be better for the healers to be assigned things, is that what your raids do?
like X + Y on raid...A + B on tanks? or something like that
you block shatter?
honestly I dunno if i do
well
then
what about start doing that
then it wont hurt
if u use LS right before first lash, it will be up whole combo i think, or at least will have SB up for shatter
yes
no i asked him if he does it
and apparently he does
but what exactly is the problem with the combo?
there is no tank dmg after
i was on 1 hp on dk after it
first few pulls
I feel like I gotta blow everything during the combo
and then i have nothing when its my next turn
U don't
Pop LS at the start of combo
Pool rage a bit if u can before hand
U can have LS for every combo
Does the DC Trait nerf mean its not anymore the strongest?
ok so keep rage maxed before I have to taut....
taunt...pop LS before combo....burn rage so LS is back off CD before my next swap?
Don't pool rage before taunt
Spend as much rage as possible always
Pool rage before combo
don't forget DS as well
I just roll DS throughout the fight
my DS uptime was 56% during that pull so i feel okay about that
my main goal is to just try and make it as easy on the healers as possible
Prot is very strong for combo
I am starting progression on Zek tonight as well
yea I "feel" like I should be better
IP is the difference maker if used right
not that it is an excuse...but some of our healers are def not pulling their weight. So I am trying to carry some of the burden if possible
while they learn and get better
That's a fight where I rly wish it was off GCD
IP
The combos during the Novas are tough
yea, we will take another crack at him tonight
Yep
Don't be too proud to use externals there
Just wait until Vec
last week was our first pull attmpt...we got 81%....this week we are on 68% after the first day
You shouldn't need externals really ever on zek
externals meaning healer CDs?
You shouldn't
@gray parrot why is your raid not replacing monkey healers?
yea sometimes my healers just throw them at me cause I drop so low during combo
But during the novas/movement it helps
question, do your healers have assignments?
Yeah
cause ours are not...its a free for all kinda thing
may I ask what your setup is if you know it?
For @octane : LS + demo shout for 1st lash, ip for shatter, reflect for second lash
Generally they aren't hard assigned, but the paladin and shaman are supposed to keep us at high prio
gotcha
Then when it's your turn again LS + shield wall
You shouldn't be holding onto DS for the combo
Then you can do the first rotation into the 3rd combo
Just keep uptime on it
Yeah I would roll DS
i have not been holding DS
If you pull well
You can hold DS if you don't go BV, but why
Your second demo shout comes back 20 sec before sncd combo
i pop it as soon as the first tank pull gets the boss into position
You should use it
Not hold it
I know what demo you're on about and it's really not worth holding it
Exactly what I'm saying, do you have DC as azerite?
Oh we're agreeing
I do, yes
i do
Spend rage
So you got ds when you take the second combo
I find zek to be an extremely cool fight for prot warrior
Everything lines up perfectly
If you can dump enough rage
it is the only fight that has made me feel like my gear sucks lol
sitting at 366 with a 340 shield XD
we are going to clear Ghuun on heroic again tonight...I got the other warrior and a pally all trying to get the shield for me
13 rerolls in heroic Uldir so far....on Vectis and Ghuun....never once have i seen the shield ๐ฆ
ive tried....AD is my most played M+
but I fukkin hate Mythic + dungeons lol
anyway....fingers crossed tonight xd
ty all for the advice on Zek...hoping we can take him down
zek ๐ฆ I hate him so
zek is the only boss that drops a weapon for my monk
I've been killing him twice a week every week for the last 4 weeks, and coining both times
and I'm still using a 345 weapon
if i were you i'd be spamming m+ until it was at least 370
i mean the weapon
oh, yeah I know
i got the 370 sword from heroic
but the trinket from zek would be nice for my Arms gear
my overall ilvl is 370, while still using a 345 weapon
im 366 still using a 340 shield
I have gotten 0 loot luck on weapons on my monk
you should both be in m+! ๐
Or
M+ sucks
I just have no luck, lol
It's cheap now
got the trinket once
And it can be 365
Or you can get lucky as this guy ^
oh dude, my warrior has been SO lucky
370 shield from warfront... 370 weapon from doing 4 mythics that emmisary week
I actually ran like 15 motherload 10
Before getting a 37p shield
look at that
which addon displays the ilvl over the gear slot?
dejacharactersheet
dejacharacterstats
stats
ty
too much d&d lately
lol
even got sad yesterday b/c the emmisary on my warr is a 2 hander, so i thought maybe I'd get it to warforge on my monk - log over.... emmisary is a fist weapon ><
got the 370 wep from last week's heroic uldir run
385 azerite
wait what?
skillforge
that shouldn't happen, lol
I guess it's normal
yeah I know, my blood DK laughs at KR and Atal, lol
So 385
Really?
yeah
8 is 370
i literally did a +9 only
i HATE getting azerite from weekly chests lol
Hum
Why is that, Octane?
yeah I know, that's why I said that shouldn't happen, lol
plenty would disagree with you Octane
I got 385 helm with DC this week, I thought it was ok
because I finally got 370 versions of all my AP pieces...and the chances that the weekly chest will have the right trait to make it worth it...is so slim
Does Anybody knows how hard the DC Trait nerf will be? Still the best Trait that is worth not having some Ilvl? or should i farm other traits for the patch now?
I got shoulders with DC week 2
Guess I can die
oh can i change my nick here?
useless
still one of the best traits @spice musk , it won't be worth 45 ilvls though
meh, I don't raid, so I love getting azerite from the weekly, since it's the only way I'm going to upgrade it, lol
Still one of the only trait improving our gp
my monk's 2/3 385 azerite now
its good you can gear from either source
So I guess even with the nerf youll want one
i have so many other slots that could easily be upgraded....why waste my chest on an AP item where I dont need the ilvl from the piece unless it has the trait
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
not required no, not over better ilvl'd pieces
I mean... IF and BFI are on enoughgear that the chance is pretty solid
Well RNG is RNG with loot.
I just don't see why it's any worse with Azerite. At least Azerite is 385 item level, while all other items are only 380, which is lower than baseline mythic Uldir
^
^
I don't get why regular gear form 1-+ weekly's aren't 385
i got 2 385 helmets, feels badman
@junior igloo working towards something is one of reasons i like games, and wow doesnt provide that
loot
8.1 change may change that
oh i misread...i got it now
yay i did a +2 and got a 395
lol
skill
That's a fair criticism, but it's a bit unrelated to the original commnt
no its not fun
dude.....back in the day me and my buddy carried the F out of this shammy in a +6 ML
and he got a 385 piece from it while we got nothing
no worse feeling in the world
rng
yea
ancient greece
even legion is hardly back in the day imo ๐
to each his own
shrug
either way...out DPSing a shaman as a tank...and then getting dicked over by
....never feels good
wellll
385s mean nothing in the age of IO
its a shaman
unsure
yea 10-15% per day
hordies take a while
they may have sped it up
good
also, folks have realized that the monetary cost of the items being turned in is worth more than the azerite rewards
need to farm gear for my alts ๐
rather worth more
I can do my Azerite worldquests and farm that shit
also I'm hoping I can get a weapon from the cache on my monk, lol
I hate to be this jaded, but I strongly suspect that contributions have very limited if any effect on the speed of the warfront cycle
^
MOre than likely Meiffert is correct
well it depends
Just like the Towers
broken shore stuff
they progress at a consistent rate
with a LITTLE nudge
from contribution
contributions are probably only a 10% variance by the end
right
we shoul test this, organize a contribution time on reddit and have like, everyone donate at the same time, see if it spikes, lol
ugh reddit
They could be like WE DID IT REDDIT 2% SPIKE
my morning is ruined, thanks
And then Ion could make a VOD
might as well just tweet to asmongold and have his mongoloids join in
lol
and be like "no, I was just fucking with you"
and have it drop by 2%
and it turns out that the contribution bar is really a volume slider on Ion's Iphone
๐
So if I tank mythic fetid with a dk should I off tank or main tank
Main tank
They deal with THrash better than the melee
in the end its kind've a wash
and we're a great white dmaage tank
yeah
we take them auto attacks like champs
but BDKs are professionals at making spike damage work for them
He almost doesn't need a healer lol
Ya prob not
but thrash gives them 100% uptime on 10stacks of boneshield
yeah, it's pretty bonkers... I did a waycrest 10 on my BDK last week and the healer got trucked by a baster through a door
and allows them to double dump Deathstrikes
caster*
Finally got AoTC as a prot warrior
I managed to sustain in a pack of 4 mobs until he ran back
lol, nice
cause I held him for 5 seconds while BOP'd and my Azerite veins healed me to almost full during it
the paladin got another 3 seconds
while bubbled
and then it was time for me to die
I almost thought about brining my alt dk for this fight because my warrior needs nothing off it anyways lol
And blood dks are just nuts lol
Warriors are better overall for fetid TBH
its one of the few fights where we put other tanks to shame
for MT, absolutely
still harder to play than other tanks
but we can make our predictable mitigation work for us very well
had a bit of a minorly triggering moment lastnight
I'm main tank for our HC runs still, but they wanted the padding tanks for progression in mythic
understandable
i'm going to be off-tanking fetid for more prog tonight
BUt then once a fight is on farm
they bring me in
because the healers prefer healing me
Whutthafuck
lol, that seems like they lack a logic check there
lol
Dat logic
Only thing is i normally play arms so I am geared towards that. Tanking now because our main tank is out for two weeks
I think its because as long as they can plan with me around damage taken (no surprises) I"m easier to heal
So I have like 1200 haste 1100 crit lol
"sorry we can't, we progress like method so we copy their tank lineup"
But the other tanks have better "reactionary/recovery"
SO like, if i goof on mother
I Just blow up
but the BDK just hits vamp blood and giggles
true
TFW they die to Zek combo
just don't goof :p
I'm like "I take nearly no damage on Zek"
Well will of the necro also for a blood dk lol
i never call for externals on zek so my blood co-tank calls for them on most combos
Get low health here have a 35% damage reduction lol
omg, dude I was pugging heroic zek on my monk a few days ago and the BDK wasn't AMSing during combo
Bdks get shit on zek for sure
Our blood dk calls for 0 externals for it
yeah, BDK played well is fine on zek
Ams and rune tap are really good
Not in pugs though
do blood dks have to sacrifice survivability at all to do damage?
Every bdk I've pugged heroic zek with dies
like if they're looking to parse
If they are looking to parse ya
meh I pugged zek on my BDK at like 353 and was fine?
@lusty grotto bdk is like, best tank for zek combo
Cuz they don't hold death strike at that point
I hear ya
Just shitty reroll pugs imo
Prob not holding runes for the combo etc
yeah BDK has to hold power for death strike just like we have to hold rage for IP for the combo
To make sure he has rune tap up for the whole thing
theres no need for rune tap at all
Rune tap is good on zekvoz
you can heal yourself with 2 DS even with 50% debuff
Only fight
Yeah, its only if they Fuck up and don't double DS after the first 2 parts
the combo of vamp blood + death strike is just so powerful after large damage intake
3rd hit of the combo will be painful for sure
ONe would hope
even if it takes you to 1hp
any general tips for off-tanking mythic fetid? haven't seen him past 50% yet, wondering if i'm in for a surprise
so far there isn't anything to it
how much more is he doing? 25%?
25 more done 50 more taken
mmhmm
Its really just keep calm and carry on
just do what you do for the first 50%
and you'll be groovy
we have a holy paly and i expect tonight to have a ret pally as well
I'd say call for a BoP just before his first knockback post 50%
then enrage is a joke
should have all externals up for it, aswell as bop and own cds
because you don't want to eat a thrash while the healers are still moving back to position
i've yet to call for externals on fetid on any difficulty. i guess the time to do it is when i want to recharge shield block and last stand isn't available?
i mean not calling them is wasting them, so just use them on enrage
Main tank might need some as well
it SHOULD cover 2 unless it's really unfortunately timed
folks forget Thrash is spikey but his melee is doing 25% more damage than Thrash over the course of the fight
it depends if his co tank is monk
i thought they were doing the same damage overall
hes fine without it
co-tank is bdk
ah
Monks taking Thrash "I can't die in 6 second windows"
surprised you haven't swapped positions
same
should we?
bdk is best
yeah
for trash
block is professional level white hit eater
he doesnt need any cds for trash and can heal up easy after one
yeah he can pretty much heal himself after thrash
BDK takes spike damage and tops the healing meters
and you deal with white damage better
and he'll have 100% uptime on morrowrend
^
which means he's generating more runic power
which means he's death striking twice as much
which means the healers can ignore him
iirc tanks shouldn't ever have to move anyway
unless there is a fuckup
depending on where he tanks it, fetids position can become funcky if he goes to dinner
yeah
yeah you should be against a pillar for suer
hm i thought it'd be better to save that for a dps
you have 2 pillars on each side to brace
oh
if he moves, just jog down to the pillar that gives yo uthe best line up
death advance
do this as a pair
death's
if we're up against the pillar are 5 melee still gonna have room
seems like it's bad enough as it is
does anyone use the doorway strat on mythic, or is it too far to eggs?
that seems to be smoothest in HC
you mean tanking at the start of the room?
that seems bad unless im missing something
no one gets knocked back super far
not like, IN the door, but sideways across the door
we're talking mythic so they can't all be stacked
If they aint stacking properly
It aint your fault
So go back against pillar, and be happy
iirc weve done kills with 6 meeles + holy pala
Know what the most satisfying thing about Fetid is?
him being dead?
is melee backing out completely when the big debuff is about to come then?
I've managed kills with 8 melee + h pala
Intercepting to the HDH that likes to talk shit at 1% and getting him Thrashed
lol
if there is no other option, sure kauda
but they have to fuck up hard if every single meele would have the big debuff at the same time
yeah that's fair
melee looks like such a clusterfuck i'm trying to make life as easy as possible for them
Not your problem
i'm raid lead it's my problem ๐
i dont think there is any way for you as tank to help them besides tanking the boss in a way that most of the hitbox is reachable
you could throw weapon on eggs 
that might help them
so you guys just brace against the pillar and basically don't move for the entire fight?
"IF" you can be sure to not fuck up, you can pull the boss during the eggs to them
to get extra dmg on boss and egg
tbh i feel the risk isn't worth it
We move to the big add's side
might try to put his tail on it
So melee are always close to boss
our raid is fairly well geared i think
and if you feel its too high of a risk, dont do it
what are you progressing, mythic?
yeah
i've been modeling what we're doing after the guy who does the twitch commentaries
Their tactic dosn't mean it is the best tactic for your guild, but sure
of course
yeah, if you have the gear, just keep the boss where it is
Well of course, but it helps to see that it can be done like that
we started there and are tweaking things
just haven't done anything different w/ positioning yet
most wipes will come from too many stacks on other people or not enough dps on adds anyways
We always move the boss between 2 pillars, just to have boss on same side of big add
not from boss dps
Are you guys always the ones actually tanking fetid? As a warrior?
should be
Who said I was playing warrior?
yeah I force my bdk to take the hits as well
I usually die when I am not tanking actively ๐
lol i think i could off-tank it with good planning but apparently spec-wise it's better he does, and i main tank
just strengths of the classes
Dk is best offtank for the fight
why have play well and have risks
No doubt
no
Can Brew dodge it?
no
nope
Makes sense
Lovely ๐
Can't*
My bad, missed 1 letter
yes
yeah
nature, yes
So, take two stacks and SR?
you can switch on one too
i take two stacks and my co-tank takes 1 and the add
he takes 1 on pull, i taunt, i take 2
and he taunts the add when it's up
timing works out great for us
I am having trouble figuring out if I did something wrong, or if just the healers should've been able to keep me up
No reason to take 2 stacks tho
Taunting off at 1 causes no taunt immunity
It just minimises damage
I died a lot on our first pulls of Zekvoz, I just couldn't take the combo
Reroll dk ๐
quality tips
Yeah I thought so too, but thankfully on our second and third down it was going much better
i do really well on that combo. last stand all of them, spell reflect the last void lash, and ignore pain whatever you can during it
Yep
i just have shield wall as a "oh i didn't pool rage uh oh" button
yeah my shield wall is my panic button as well .. but with anger management I should be using it more often
I use shield wall to just ease the amount of healing needed if I'm less than half going into the combo
it's strictly better to use it for a lot of the combos
how do you bois play the zul debuf in p2? u shieldwall it?
bop bop bop
we just talked about that d.coil a few days ago
Anything you can to survive really
oh
heeeey guys, did you see the UUUUUP for us soon ๐ ?
bop is really the best bet for zul stacks
you stay with zul as long as you can to generate rage and IP as much as you can
Just stay in combat until it's about to expire and then jump away if you don't have a pally
and jump out at the last second
Yepyep
no shieldwall? it seems rly hard wothout tho
you can sw as well of course
depending on how many rogues you have and who starts, you only need to take 2-3 sets of zul debuffs
You use it if you have it
But I usually have used it by then ๐
So what'cha all think on the latest build? The buffs to prot, nerfs etc

It's an overall buff
it's a net buff for sure
And how would prot now do against other tank classes? Personally I aint a big prot player, so Idk
yeah the ranged block is the biggest thing I guess
to early to say
there are still monk nerfs coming
Depends on the setting. We still lack m+ utility that dks have
So dk will still beat warrior?
im sure of it
Yeah it will
Probably?
unless more nerfs come for dk, they will be preferred by MDI contenders sure
It's mostly the grip
What about in a raiding enviroment?
Depends on the fight mechanics
why don't you hop on PTR and let us know
warriors lack the ability to see the future
Grip is absurdly powerful in m+ with affixes like sanguine. It helps group up pesky ranged mobs as well
As I said, I aint a good prot player, I am just trying to figure out what is considered the best
also gorefiends is OP
just wondering, if you're not good then why do you care?
my guess will be still monk for raid
dk has so much control
just play what you consider fun
So I am asking the classes that has the biggest changes
since i dont trust blizz
In raids prot warr is not that bad, it's just too high maintenance
Because I am a good tank, just not a good prot
All classes are about equal if you are just looking to play the game
lol....
You have to try harder than others to stay alive, that's just that
Hm, fair enough
If you want to push m+, warrior is still good, you will just have some trouble finding a group
you consider yourself a good tank by not playing prot?
No
I aint a prot main
No he said he is a good tank, just not as prot
Yep
theres 6 tanking classes
Yup
i find saying im a good tank kind of weird
yep
guardian druid
did druid get a tanking spec in BFA? 
Literally dead in the water
no, they got deleted
nah they were removed
I play mainly dk and monk, so hence why I am asking around, I want whats best simply.
ah i see
go monk
Removed with banners
i guess you are a good tank then
by playing the 2 more forgiving tanks in the game lol
wait what
nothing wrong about that
it doesnt matter much, you can be a good tank as anything
^
Lol, wut
oh man, you trolled us hard
"im just pretending to say dumb things"
Lol, getting rational backlash, just pretend u were trolling
๐ข ๐ต ๐
Works as always
seeing 5 new people salty
Foot soup clap ๐ค
levko isnt a bdk
dont lie
levko doesnt play the game
oh right
levko is a yellow van
excuse me
Levko is sleeper cell wow player
Foot soup clap is a meme around here
im a Renault 1997 Kangoo
Would have appreciated you more if you were a generic yellow van
Lol levko
no point
Racism against dks ๐ข
but obviously bdks would rush to defend their rerolls
when i will paly wow again, it will be on bdk, but warr changes look promising
The goal of this channel is to help ppl play sum prot gud. And occasionally trigger Sal.
IP off gcd might be enough for me
im not saying to reroll
It can be
i don't mean you Levko
oh ok
If the ppl don't wanna play prot they don't have to
if i answer a question, i try to not involve a class
if i know what prot can do, i tell
lol
i palyed prot all legion
imagine taking a raid spot in a progression guild and not having options to make the fight easier
yeah I will play prot all bfa, it can be only better
it always goes like this: "are prots gonna be top?", "are they gonna beat BDK?"
in this channel
^
dont need to blame em
you're obviously gonna get the most biased answer
I am rarely in here, so yeah
Well that is why I am in a social guild and not progression right @limber tulip
