good lord I hope that's true

daring marlin

#

My DC piece is from emissary and it's a chest

sand egret
#

nuuuu

daring marlin
#

thankfully DC won't be such a big deal in 8.1

sand egret
#

although I guess a DC chest would be an upgrade for me...just an awkward one

sick sentinel
#

yeah got DC trait shoulders from wq

#

370

daring marlin
#

and I can just wear all my 385s

sand egret
#

I'm just looking forward to more traits to stack haha

daring marlin
#

fOR SURE.

#

caps dafuq

sick sentinel
#

looking for 8.1 so we dont have to look for one specific trait

#

just taking high ilvl ones from raiding and move on

lusty grotto
daring marlin
#

rofl

sand egret
#

yeah, i'd rather get a piece and be like "ohh what trait setup does this have....?" instead of "please have DC...."

sick sentinel
#

What's today's emissary for horde?

sand egret
#

but also +10 for the female Orc

#

sneaky sweet model for plate imho

astral crystal
#

god damn

lusty grotto

sand egret
#

I'm in the top 5 or something now I think, so not too far off haha

#

gotta take that #1 exclusively pugging

daring marlin
#

idk man

#

M+ just isn't that fun

#

Legion dungeons were more fun

sand egret
#

haha I respectfully couldn't disagree more

#

M+ is literally the only reason I play WoW now

sick sentinel

#

I'm #2 on my server for warrior tanks, just 20 points away

dusk locust

sand egret
#

woo!

dusk locust
#

m+ is the vast majority of my focus

sand egret
#

I'm excited for Reaping

#

wondering what it could be ๐Ÿค”

sick sentinel
#

But I'm trying to gun for top 100 in region and top 10 for tanks in server

sand egret
#

you got that shit

sick sentinel
#

Yeah was top 8 prot war in server in legion before empowered season

sand egret
#

also, anyone else end up watching that Korean warrior's video like multiple times? Dude is a fucking G.

sick sentinel
#

Yup

#

Was watching buffs/debuffs seeing what he was using aside from DC

sand egret
#

the damage control was like woah...

sick sentinel
#

Also he proved aside from prots being God's that sporepods aren't shit lol

sand egret
#

lol haha true dat

sick sentinel
#

Now to see everyone now farm UR +10 for both trinkets lol

sand egret
#

looool

#

after my WM shitshow last night....I just respect the shit outta that hustle

sick sentinel
#

If u can't respect that man, get outta my face

sand egret
#

and to top it off, he got that transmog swag on point

sick sentinel
#

And he beat it in fucking time

sand egret

Lol

strong forum
#

I got 370 spore pods, 130k healing until I died to 20 stacks on the dungeneer dummy

#

Dunno how to feel about it

sand egret
#

I'd want to mess around with it, do you know what the approx proc rate is?

strong forum
#

It's random AF, sometimes you get back to back

#

Sometimes you don't get it for 30sec+

#

I don't think it's worth it

#

Howler seems stronger for the dmg alone

sand egret
#

if its a PPM rate, I could see it having value in M+ actually

#

due to how pulls work

#

if its flat % then prob less so

strong forum
#

I will try to meddle with it this week when I push to 1.3k score

#

To see if it's any good

#

Gotta get my top 50 World back

sand egret
#

if it's a ppm thing then based on pull cadence you should see it more reliably in pulls, could be nice to smooth over the initial burst or what not.

strong forum
#

I'm just surprised that this dude is going full defensive build with bandage and versa sockets

#

Koreans and their crazy starts

bronze lance
#

crazy that somehow becomes meta every time

strong forum
#

Idk if that would be meta, dmg is important

dry apex
#

Shoud i replace my blockades with a 370 Vanquished Tendril of G'huun?

frosty wedge
#

ugh just looking at raider.io - why on earth would someone want to do a +20 SOTS

strong forum
#

No psycho, the trinket is garbage

dry apex
#

okay thx

frosty wedge
#

this DK has a 2270 IO score, rofl

bronze lance
#

lol for a second i thought you were being an asshole

frosty wedge
#

#1 world tank on IO

strong forum
#

Well yeah lepan

#

Common knowledge I thought

#

Was #1 in Legion as well

frosty wedge
#

I didn't play much toward the end of legion

strong forum
#

Crazy dropluck as well

#

395 xalzaiz and 390 weapon with socket and leech

#

Whilst I haven't seen xalzaiz even drop

frosty wedge
#

his only nonw arforged or titanforged piecs are azerite

bronze lance
#

oh he runs with gingi, isnt that methods hunter?

strong forum
#

And with naowh

#

They stream every day

bronze lance
#

i dunno i would imagine its alot easier to get keys like that when you can use a stream and get 50 +10 quickly

strong forum
#

All of their group besides the rogue

bronze lance
#

and then push your key after you are fully decked out

strong forum
#

All of their group besides the rogue

#

They don't do viewer keys

#

They just push from the beginning

bronze lance
#

thats crazy the

#

then

strong forum
#

How

#

They just play alot and only with good people

bronze lance
#

well for me, i dont think i would have the patients to do anything that high anyways

frosty wedge
#

I mean... they're timing 19s

strong forum
#

That's literally their life

#

They're getting paid to do so

bronze lance
#

he missed the seige by 2 min 30 sec

#

yea i guess that could change my view

strong forum
#

The +2 siege 18 yesterday

frosty wedge
#

yeah - they finished a 19 atal in 26 mins

#

lol

strong forum
#

They are playing to be the very best

#

So it's not surprising

#

If its not them it's someone else

#

Yknow

#

There will always be someone at the top, and as of late those decide to stream as well

frosty wedge
#

yeah

#

this is crazy - they're on the last pull before the final boss in UR

#

and they're only like 6 mins over, and only 2 deaths

#

oh wait nm

#

they're under time

#

lol

#

it'll be close

strong forum
#

Thing is as well, drjay for example has 10-12k dungeons played in bfa and beta

#

Lepan has probably done several thousands aswell

#

Practice makes perfect

frosty wedge
#

omg, it was an Ur 19 - they missed by 16s

lusty grotto
#

gotta wonder if at some point they just become flat out bored

frosty wedge
#

including the 10s from 2 deaths

#

lol

strong forum
#

Nah, they are playing to be the best

#

Jay has been streaming 14hrs a day for 1 year straight now

#

That's determination

lusty grotto
#

10k dungeons and the expansion is barely 3 months old

strong forum
#

They don't get bored, that's what amazes me

lusty grotto
#

at some point they will burn out

#

unless if they win the MDI

strong forum
#

Blizzcon mdi isn't a real mdi

#

It's just a showcase

#

Of Bfa m+

lusty grotto
#

there aren't any other venues

#

or are there?

strong forum
#

Na not yet

lusty grotto
#

i mean look at it this way: arena is only a blizzard thing

#

when you look at other e-sports

#

there are tourneys and venues all over

strong forum
#

Well Arena had that aswell

lusty grotto
#

there's a lot more incentive to keep being active

strong forum
#

There will be

#

If m+ keeps getting more numbers there has to be

#

But blizz is still figuring out how to do it

lusty grotto
#

sure, unless blizzard has it locked somehow

strong forum
#

But yeah blizzcon is just a showcase since keys will only be 13s

#

Even I could play that

lusty grotto
#

no i mean

#

locked to only run their own tournaments and not any other interested party

strong forum
#

Currently

#

Since if they are doing it like Arena with the point system to get into blizzcon instead of 1 global tournament but many little ones

#

It's all going to be from blizz

frosty wedge
#

yeah it's 13s set at ilvl 370 for blizzcon

strong forum
#

Gonna be a meme show

lusty grotto
#

like what if dota2 was only ran through the International/majors and there weren't any other tournaments like ESL/Epicenter and so on

frosty wedge
#

I'll be super surprised if there are even deaths

strong forum
#

Yeah but we're talking blizz

lusty grotto
#

just a similar example

strong forum
#

Every tournament is hosted by them

#

On every game

lusty grotto
#

that's what i mean

strong forum
#

There are no unofficial tournaments on any blizzard game

lusty grotto
#

it would be a good move to do a Major-style quarterly tourney besides the big one

strong forum
#

Make it just like arena

#

They have like 50

#

Make the teams get points and after a certain threshold they are invited to prelims for blizzcon

lusty grotto
#

that being said i don't think an Overwatch League style would be a good move

#

yeah that sounds like what i'm saying

strong forum
#

Ye

#

Maybe 2 per 8.X patch

#

Or 1

#

Per major patch basically

#

That'd be neat

#

And give incentive and actually people could start making a living off of it

#

As soon as there's enough money in it, it will rise in popularity and competition

#

Cuz right now players do it out of their own pocket or streaming

#

If there was more money involved more people could go for it

#

Same with teams for wow, there's practically only very few teams sponsored because there is little to be gained, and method is going all fucking in

spare hinge
#

hmm... thunder clap have low threat generation?

#

somehow i lose few aggro that im do spamming aoe

open bluff
#

if you're using avatar with thunderclap, you're not TCing enough

#

if you're not using avatar with TC in aoe, do it

#

(you should be using avatar more or less on cooldown regardless, even single target)

spare hinge
#

ok

prisma crane
#

I feel like you wrote that backwards Ava

#

but the point is the same, avatar more or less on CD, but can save it for particularly heavy aoe areas

#

and tclap is a rotational ability, just used every other global during Avatar when talented how you should be talented

crystal wadi
#

Lads I'm feeling a bit disillusioned. What are the odds of blood DK still being way better than prot warriors come 8.1?

sand egret

at?

100%

resident bdk sleeper

#

-bladesong

sand egret
#

woah

#

rood

tired berry
#

i know they're wanted for utility/grips/brez in m+ especially and just general survivability, how does their damage compare to ours currently? legitimately asking as i just don't know

ember pilot
#

they have good aoe dmg with bonestorm

tired berry
#

avatar thunderclap combo with unstoppable force nets pretty decent numbers anyway but i don't have much experience wtih bdk

spare hinge
#

guess warrior need new abi of brez and something like call lighting to strike at corpse

ember pilot
#

inspiring presence and mass spellreflect, that would be rly nice utility for prot warri

crystal wadi
#

haha "revitalising shout - yell at target dead ally so hard their spirit flies back into their body, ressing them on 20% health and mana"

strong forum
#

Bdk will still be very strong in m+ but not as "immortal during memestorm"

#

Prot will be on par with Monks in m+ I reckon

#

If not stronger

#

Prob stronger

#

We will be top 3 in raid and m+

crystal wadi
#

What makes you say that? Like the IP buff is nice but is it really enough to warrant that sort of optimism?

ember pilot
#

nah i dont think so

strong forum
#

Kek it's huge, we can block ranged attacks aswell opposed to now

#

I use IP roughly 100-160 times in a dungeon

#

That's alot of globals that could be used to dps / rage gain

ember pilot
#

memes are to strong on prot warri, thats not gonna change

strong forum
#

Prot is gonna be top tier tank

prisma crane
#

you also lose out on DS uptime

#

which hinders our magic mitigation

dense flame
#

just get sco to say prot is good 4Head

prisma crane
#

for M+ i bet we're more or less where we're at

#

but better off

strong forum
#

Na, better

#

Much better

#

we can block ranged attacks

#

That is insane

ember arrow
#

In relevant ccontent theyll destroy u

strong forum
#

Compared to now

ember arrow
#

Like any other tank

prisma crane
#

i understand that, what i'm saying is that we're better off, but still going to rank about the same relative other tanks

strong forum
#

Nah, we didn't midigate shit from ranged attacks and got hit face on with 100k "shoot" in KR

#

We can then reduce it to below 10k

#

With IP + critblock

#

If that ain't huge idk what is

ember arrow
#

Surv was not the reason to not take prot

strong forum
#

Ofc it's utility

#

But still

ember arrow
#

U can reduce it bu 90% yay

#

Others just kite

#

But they get utility

strong forum
#

You can kite the adds in KR after 1st boss?

#

Sure

crystal wadi
#

Wait so prot isn't squishier than other tanks in m+?

ember arrow
#

Yes

strong forum
#

No

ember arrow
#

Skystep

#

Or los

#

Idk what you mean

strong forum
#

Never seen anybody ever do that

ember arrow
#

Thats not much an argument

strong forum
#

I know you can kite, just saying nobody does it

#

Literally nobody

ember arrow
#

Do u do +18s?

strong forum
#

Do you

ember arrow
#

I talk relevant content

#

Not farm +12s

strong forum
#

Yeah, I'm watching ton of lepan and jay

ember arrow
#

Ok

dense flame
#

I think in nomeratur defense. The ability to block something that others have to kite is pretty huge. That opens up the ability to kite later while your shit is recharging

#

almost similar to how you tank with a DH

#

except you can face tank longer

strong forum
#

Which results in faster kill times

#

I'm not saying we are stronger than bdk by no means

#

But much stronger than we are right now

#

Much stronger

ember arrow
#

Not just bdk

strong forum
#

On par with monk atleast

#

Since monk has no utility besides ring

#

And on par with pally prob aswell

ember arrow
#

Oh?

#

Bop or spellwarding<blocking ranged autos?

strong forum
#

I'd say so

sand egret
#

@digital arrow this is why you don't say that cursed phrase.

ember arrow
#

Blocking spells<blocking autos?

strong forum
#

Can you block spells all day?

ember arrow
#

Self heal<no self heal?

strong forum
#

I don't think so

#

I have roughly 10k HPs per fight

#

Wtf you on about

ember arrow
#

Using hps for anything

strong forum
#

Using self heal as metric

#

Same argument

ember arrow
#

Nope

strong forum
#

Fucking braindead

ember arrow
#

Self heal actually frees up healer

dense flame
#

I mean prot warr doesn't need that crap. We are literally a face tank.

strong forum

Yeah so does midigation

ember arrow
#

Face tanking the floor

#

Bdks everybody

#

Self-healing is everything

ember arrow
#

Not everything

But 50% at least

You make it out to be

Do i need to?

Pretty much

#

I dont play ele shaman but i see their state

strong forum
#

All everybody ever brings is "no self-healing"

ember arrow
#

Oh

strong forum
#

So bdk vs prot is bound to be a retarded discussion

#

Especially if you have either main try to talk to the other

ember arrow
#

No displacement either.

strong forum
#

It just doesn't work out

ember arrow
#

Players that push should pick the best class

strong forum
#

My god I never said that prot is better and acknowledge that we have very little utility

ember arrow
#

Maining smt limits urself

strong forum
#

Like I care about that

#

I wanna play prot and I play prot

#

End of discussion

ember arrow
#

Yes

#

Thus limiting yourself

strong forum
#

Okay

#

Cool

#

I'm limited

#

So what's your deal now

#

I never said we are insane or going to push WF keys

#

All im saying is we will be top 3 in raiding and m+

#

IMPLYING rank 3 is also possible not rank 1

steel mauve
#

I find ERHPS to be more important than just HPS imo

strong forum
#

HPs is a stupid metric, but the argument self healing is better than not taking much at all is retarded and close minded ( or whatever the proper term is)

#

In dungeons I have hardly to get healed

ember arrow
#

But which keys

strong forum
#

It's not 18s but 13s is still better than average

daring marlin
#

Iโ€™d rather take less damage than have self healing

#

tbh

ember arrow
#

13s is smt u outgear

#

13s arent where tank choice matters

#

Much

strong forum
#

I know

#

Every tank can clear up to 15s

Tank death of a result of DTPS exceeding HTPS by a portrayed still of time such that the player dies.

All the self healing in the world will not stop a 1 shot

But mitigation may

Yeah but that's extremely unrealistic

There is no 1shot mechanic anywhere

cinder nova

Damage smoothing is what prevents spikes because spikes are the leading cause of tank death.

strong forum
#

For example

#

On 13

cinder nova
#

It's why monks are so powerful

strong forum
#

In raiding ye

ember arrow
#

Tree dude has no abilitirs

cinder nova
#

Because their smoothing and HP make them really sturdy

crystal wadi
#

That seems... excessive. Did you test that?

strong forum
#

But Hits a fuck ton

#

I did it

#

Multiple times

#

On tyra I drop stacks around 30 in fire

#

On fort I can go to 50 without fire

ember arrow
#

Without tyranical it gets to 50

strong forum
#

And just ignore all mechanics

ember arrow
#

Yikes dps

cinder nova
#

BDK is only good because it can survive well and has raid utility. Because their healing helps counteract recent damage, they have decent survival. DH does the same thing, but worse so nobody talks about them.

strong forum
#

Can thank my shitty guild mates for that :D

#

I don't have 30k+ dps opener people

#

Dh is giga spiky

cinder nova
#

Because they suck at smoothing.

DK is spikes too, they just gave a way more immediate response to stubble the after effects

If I had a solid group I would prob be like 1500 score but I'm lazy AF

Yeah, hpal is super player dependant

Lepan's gear luck is crazy - but he does run a shitload of dungeons, lol

His weapon and trinket are from mythrax though mike

I was doing +10 yesterday and as soon as I pulled the mobs after the first boss were taking 60%+ of my health. I have no clue why and don't have logs. Does anyone know why?

#

King's rest

frosty wedge
#

which +10?

#

oh

reef fulcrum
#

The only one I'm missing in +10

frosty wedge
#

the big dudes have an enrage that can be soothed

#

probably that?

ember arrow
#

He says

#

After first boss

frosty wedge
#

oh

reef fulcrum
#

Yeah

frosty wedge
#

I'm so dumb

ember arrow
#

Even i know that xd

reef fulcrum
#

I know the bleed effect hurts

sand egret
#

was it the shoot bitch

#

cuz her ass hurts on fort

reef fulcrum
#

But the one I'm referring to is burst dmg

sand egret
#

the triple pack with the caster that channels, one of them has a nasty bleed

reef fulcrum
#

Probably that one

sand egret
#

the mass pack with the one big guy can get hairy if you end up getting caught in a few shadow whirls. Also bursting on those

reef fulcrum
#

My healer is frustrated with KR already haha

sand egret
#

other than that there's the shadowbolt chick which can be SR'd

ember arrow
#

Kite. Advice 1

#

Only big dudes cant be slowed

sand egret
#

tbh other than the Zerker bleed, we do really well in that place imho

ember arrow
#

Wait

reef fulcrum
#

I was kitting when I had the bleed effect

ember arrow
#

U take the bleed?

#

Why

#

Just let someone else do it

sand egret
#

because I want free Str?

reef fulcrum
#

Idk, haven't done kr many times

little rain
#

XD @prisma crane Yea prolly :o I got pretty lucky 1st 2 weeks lol

sand egret
#

well in that mini-boss room, that shoot chick can suck and you can CC the bleeder in the triple pack to make it a lot easier since one of them just does his own thing and channels

ember arrow
#

Los her

prisma crane
#

@little rain โค keep doin gods work with prot lol

ember arrow
#

Get aggro and dance around corner

#

She will cancel her casts

sand egret
#

but overall, just keep up block on that place

has anyone tried to prot in pvp?

sand egret
#

if you have a boss arms/ret with you

Yo in M+ is there any benefit in taking Devastator? (1223231)

worthy dagger
#

no

drowsy relic

I think the 3rd highest io warrior runs it

worthy dagger
#

no way, booming is too good

#

or id say its the least worse

#

jk its actually good, 40 rage + damage is always great

strong forum
#

Devastator is only good if you want to cheese ST logs in raids

That's about it

And even then its not dominant

drowsy relic

He seems to be running it, I was just curious

Im not sure what the benefit is though

Just because he logged out with it

wraith hemlock

rps?

#

pps?

sand egret
#

rage per second

lusty grotto
#

rage per second

uneven mason
#

is the fact that TC and Rev already give you SS resets on those GCDs

wraith hemlock
#

ah

uneven mason
#

so unless you're mad lucky

#

and chain SSs

#

and nothing else

topaz ember
#

You can't argue with a prot warrior not min maxing b/c if they wanted to min max they would be playing anohter tank class

uneven mason
#

it loses a lot of oomph

wraith hemlock
#

the other option would be using a swing timer (Which I did back in legion)

sand egret
#

please no swing timers

lusty grotto
#

at some point deva didn't require a swing timer

wraith hemlock
#

it helps, but not optimal unless you are used to it

sand egret
#

please not again

uneven mason
#

Well the difference between using the perscribed talents and not is you're either alive (with talents) or dead (with whatever fucking build your grandmother told you to use)

wraith hemlock
#

That's true @topaz ember ...

hey, my grandma picked good talents

who tf uses ravager?

Pick Ravager to level 4 then go Stats

uneven mason
#

@topaz ember If you're using NS chances are your healers have no choice but to leave you sub 20%

#

no matter how hard they try

sand egret
#

make sure you build a lot of AD

#

and armor pen

topaz ember
#

The rotation for ravager build is easy you rush in shield block throw down ravager pop Avatar then die

wraith hemlock
#

nay nay, you want intellect. you are a warrior, you are already strong so you need intellect to make wise decisions

#

like picking a different tank

uneven mason
#

well tbh

lusty grotto
#

this is a good rotation Orange

uneven mason
#

you won't die during Ravager

#

just slightly after it

wraith hemlock
#

you will die 3 secs after ravager

signal rune
#

Ravager is Bonestorm confirmed

uneven mason
#

^^

wraith hemlock
#

maybe 4 if you are lucky

lusty grotto
#

not optimal, sorry

#

you need to die immediately after

uneven mason
#

Ravager + Shield block = bad luck protection on roids, the boss will crushing blow you

sand egret
#

best part about ravager is all the time you get to contemplate life as you wait for your CDs to come back up.

topaz ember
#

What if instead of a blade we threw down a bone and it healed us everytime it hit somthing

sand egret
#

ya just don't get that anymore

that sounds naughty @topaz ember

"throws down a bone"

Man, I hate how our build atm is like "use Demo shout on cd, keep it up as long as you can then die"

#

good things they are nerfing DC

sand egret
#

well i mean....the dying part not so much

#

but you're like 90% there

lusty grotto
#

you still have to maintain demo shout after the nerf, dc will still help

uneven mason
#

"then die"

#

I Mean

#

I'm not really feeling like I'm going to die unless I flipperhand and pull a BrM and just not hit something when I'm being hit

sand egret
#

i die a lot, but me dying is most definitely not that the mob wasn't DC'd haha

uneven mason
#

pressing keys = high skillcap

topaz ember
#

our current rotation is Rush in shield block demo shout avatar smash that Thunder clap shield block start getting worried about shield running out before the tank swap sweating gets taunted off and live another day

lusty grotto
#

usually when i maintain demo shout up, i auto run off the cliff in shrine of storms

sand egret
#

it's 90% me overlapping SB

the other 10% is I dropped a roach on me pants and that shit is burning

uneven mason

you avatar after charge

signal plover
#

Yeah I pretty much know exactly when I'm gonna be fuckered because I will have no coolie to cover a SB gap and then I call for an external and all is gud

daring patrol
#

i only die if I pull too much or I panic and waste block if last stand is up/boss is casting

uneven mason
#

Basically

#

I find it hilarous that I tank the majority of uptime on Ghuun for my guild

#

still take less damage than the paladin

lusty grotto
#

i usually die when i hit my face with the keyboard, cannot confirm if i fell asleep or drunk

topaz ember
#

yea but what about healing required i know pallies have some self heals
