any reason to stack this new intim shout thingy

go do the assaults too if you need

my bearboi is 361 with like...a 324 neck haha

#

im at work

daring marlin
#

boooo

sand egret
#

@ancient reef I don't think you really want to go out of your way for it, as IV is still insanely strong in that slot. RP is as well. It certainly isn't a bad thing to have one of for the slow alone, not to mention its decent mitigation for basically free.

ancient reef
#

ok it was jut all of a sudden on all my gear

#

does the absorb stack, so if i use int shout every 1.5m its like 45k

#

lol just got servant splitter out of my cache how is that a tanking weapon

What's the PPM on butcher's block?

'cause Knot of the Ancient Fury is looking pretty good to me

you think its worth using servant splitter for my 1h its 20 ilevel upgrade

We're now 100x stronger than your average bear

limber tulip

Okay who is na horde

sick sentinel
#

@limber tulip utility is the same, tankiness goes through the roof

supple path
#

One day people will realize that prot warriors are totally the best tanks for +10s, and BDKs only start crushing us on the way higher keys.

daring marlin
#

gr8 b8 censuras

supple path
#

It's...not bait? Our higher DPS just matters a lot more in lower keystones.

limber tulip
#

Sick I’ll reroll tonight ty

daring marlin
#

tfw he thinks higher DPS matters less in higher keys

#

muh sides

#

help

supple path
#

Uh, it explicitly does, because you A) have to spend more time kiting, and B) there's more of a focus on ability to live than just ability to do damage?

#

When anyone can survive easily, the DPS you do as a tank matters more.

daring marlin
#

kiting

lavish oracle
#

It's not that higher DPS matters less, its that utility matters more

daring marlin
#

Sense was talking about doing a 19 freehold and not kiting at all

#

before buffs

#

lol

supple path
#

Okay so you're one of those people who basically likes to shitpost on reddit except in a discord.

daring marlin
#

he hasn't kited at all pre buffs

#

why would he kite now

final mist
#

The utility we don't have is the reason warriors aren't brought.

#

Read: Grips.

#

That's it.

Hi grips here

daring marlin

GET OVER HERE

Knock off the memeing.

Meme softer

lavish oracle

daring marlin
#

Seems like that guy is memeing, saying our DPS isn't valuable in higher keys because muh kiting. And on that note, I'm done!

brisk flax
#

our DPS is pretty valuable imo

steel mauve
#

An opinion that some one believes to be correct isnt memeing...

daring marlin
#

Real talk go do the tyrande questline. 385 loot?!

brisk flax
#

next i think is bring back Old IP

#

20 - whatever rage your choice on when to spend

dense pivot
#

90% tripple stacking, yeah baby

#

healers are overvalued

daring marlin
#

IP works as is with it being a 50% absorb as opposed to 90% and our rage gen being kinda poop compared to legion

brisk flax
#

then the grips wouldnt matter as much

#

Tank that never dies > grips

shut summit
#

Haven't had to kite in up to 20 aside from necrotic

#

So ye our dps is dope even in high keys

brisk flax
#

ya but who doesnt have to kite in necrotic anyways XD

Welcome home.

daring marlin

Ready for the disappointment box?!

brisk flax
#

@shut summit what about now with the changes? What are your thoughts? Much much better? Or just kind of meh and about the same?

lusty grotto
#

super ready alts first

hmm

#

what was the thing we had to do for the addon folder

shut summit
#

It'll be much better for m+ ya, blocking shoot and shit is huge for some of those pulls

daring marlin

I have a seething hatred for the bitch after first boss of KR on fort weeks.

#

even not on fort weeks

lusty grotto
#

ok got it retail

daring marlin
#

shoot

keen galleon
#

It should make King's Rest and Tol Dagor in particular much easier, yeah?

daring marlin
#

For sure.

brisk flax
#

Tol'dagor lol no more getting shot at by multiple mobs and getting owies

#

lol

shut summit
#

Yup

supple path
#

I do enjoy how you went out of your way to misinterpret what I said to be dumb though.

daring marlin
#

throw wrench

shut summit
#

Throw wrench in motherlode, etc

supple path
#

Saying something is less valuable in some circumstances is not the same thing as saying it's not valuable.

#

But the value of "prot warrior DPS" relative to "everything else tanks provide" is higher in lower keys.

keen galleon
#

The problem is that you're not actually right, because a lot of times, the ability to kill the pack quickly is what allows you to pull big

supple path
#

How does that disagree with anything I said?

keen galleon
#

you said being able to deal damage as a tank gets less important in higher keys

#

yes?

fast cairn
#

Prot πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

supple path
#

No, I said the thing I just literally restated

#

It's not that doing damage isn't important, it's that certain other things grow in importance

keen galleon
#

It's...not bait? Our higher DPS just matters a lot more in lower keystones.

#

I mean

final mist
#

πŸ€”

astral crystal
#

Based jinzel

buoyant inlet
#

any of the darkshore traits looking to be worthwhile?

brisk flax
#

DPS doesnt matter at all in low keys unless you are carrying people LOL

daring marlin
#

wuh oh

brisk flax
#

in higher keys DPS is more important i dont understand

keen galleon
#

higher DPS matters more in higher keystones because in low keystones high dps doesn't influence your ability to time the key.

brisk flax
#

why any one would say otherwise

#

when you are doing 3 times as much as any other tank

final mist
#

Warriors don't have to kite as much. Ergo our DPS is a strong point.

supple path
#

Yes, if you define "nothing in low keys is important" then shockingly nothing in them is more important

final mist
#

Not a weak point.

lusty grotto
#

19 residuum for 7 key

#

on magechip, lets check nimchipadin

daring marlin
#

holy shit dude

brisk flax
#

i never had to kite anyways?

daring marlin
#

that's awful

keen galleon
#

high dps is the most important thing in high keys.

#

all keys ultimately are a HP vs DPS check

daring marlin
#

bring the damage or fail the timer

steel mauve
#

I got 60 from a 10 chest

daring marlin
#

heh

brisk flax
#

only on necrotic week do i have to ever kite something

daring marlin
#

yo

keen galleon
#

nobody is cockblocked on keys because their tanks can't survive on the next highest key

daring marlin
#

I got it

#

two birds one stone

#

give mass grip to DPS DKs

#

done

keen galleon
#

they're cockblocked because they can't kill enough shit to time the key.

brisk flax
#

and even then not so much since we have 2 AoE stuns lol

daring marlin
#

rip blood dk

fast cairn
#

Bring back MOP prot :yejoice:

daring marlin

#

then DPS DK have the utility they desperately want

brisk flax
#

at least as HMT we have 2 AoE stuns

lusty grotto
#

hold up what did i miss

supple path
#

This is not a conversation worth getting into with 9 different people who are all eager to narrow in on a different thing to misinterpret.

lusty grotto
#

are people not happy with the changes?

#

because i am

daring marlin
#

ME TOO

#

I just need to spam dungeons so I can make my alchie trinket

#

but darkshore thing first

brisk flax
#

i mean sure other utility is great and all but we have plenty if you play the right Race

lusty grotto
#

Several people are typing

daring marlin
#

cuz 385 loot

brisk flax
#

and spec correctly

final mist
#

Censuras, I literally posted a picture of what you said and why it was wrong. Warriors (good Warriors) don't have to kite as much, if they do at all.

supple path
#

No, you narrowed in on one aspect of what I was saying

final mist
#

Ergo kiting is thrown out the window, because it doesn't exist for us.

fast cairn
#

Don’t forget good healers!

supple path
#

and despite the fact that I never indicated anywhere how MUCH kiting I was talking about

#

you then decided that it was clearly a different amount of kiting than you had in mind, so the overall point must then be invalid

fast cairn
#

πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸΎ

lusty grotto
#

60 residuum for a 10 key on nimchipadin

final mist
#

You talked about kiting and said DPS doesn't matter because of it - we don't kite.

supple path
#

no, that's not what I said

keen galleon
#

Censuras, I'm genuinely impressed that you're both defending how your claim was non-specific AND refusing to acknowledge that the one thing you DID specifically state was wrong.

lavish oracle
#

Okay, so before it was hypothetical, but how good is Knot of Ancient Fury compared to Butcher's block

daring marlin
#

4head

brisk flax
#

so then when you post something be more specific @supple path . Instead of generalizing and hoping people are thinking about it the same way you are... be more specific

supple path
#

We don't kite "more" on higher keys than lower keys?

keen galleon
#

Like, you literally only made one concrete statement, and it was wrong.

wintry gulch
#

I can say Guilford doesn't kite as a certainty unless there's puddles from them dying. Shrug.

final mist
#

"Uh, it explicitly does, because you A) have to spend more time kiting, and B) there's more of a focus on ability to live than just ability to do damage?" wasn't what you said?

supple path
#

I definitely disengage from packs for a few seconds if I'm dropping faster than a healer can keep up, then reengage once topped

#

And that happens more at higher keys...it's not a huge amount, it's just a factor.

steel mauve
#

Thats player performance though

brisk flax
#

ya but that isnt our fault though either Censuras. At least not all the time

supple path
#

And something that happens more at higher keys than lower, that's just a fact.

steel mauve
#

Just because you are forced to do some thing doesnt mean the entire spec is...

supple path
#

Ugh.

lusty grotto
#

you're kidding right @lavish oracle ?

final mist
#

I've seen multiple M+ where warriors (ex. Sense) don't kite at all.

brisk flax
#

that could be a healer issue or you just making a mistake and pulling incorrectly

supple path
#

You know my whole point here was that we're BETTER than people think at lower keys?

#

Not worse at higher?

#

I'm not blaming the spec for shit

#

I'm saying that the BDK supremacy at high keys doesn't apply to low keys

lavish oracle
#

@lusty grotto Nope, not sure

lusty grotto
#

its not

#

why would you think it's better? what are the ilvls?

brisk flax
#

meh FotM classes wont last

lavish oracle
#

385 vs 370, more crit on use

keen galleon
#

Yeah but everything that isn't a blood DK is better at lower keys than people think. It's an irrelevant statement. You're essentially arguing that every human breathes air because lord xalgoz the mighty gave us lungs when he shat us onto the planet earth, and you're shocked that people are arguing against your point that people don't breathe air. We're not. We're arguing about the dumb reason you think people breathe air.

lavish oracle
#

instead of a random proc

supple path
#

And sure, maybe kiting's on my mind more because necrotic was literally two weeks ago - and does happen more. And does require more kiting at higher keys.

lavish oracle
#

I don't know the PPM for butcher's block, though

keen galleon
#

Or, you know, the dumb reason you think we're good in lower keys. Whatever.

supple path
#

On a +10 I can facetank every pack at necrotic without kiting - I can't do that at a much higher key

lusty grotto
#

but fury doesn't have passive str

primal crypt
#

I'M HOME

#

FINALLY

lusty grotto
#

me too yamo me too, welcome home

primal crypt
#

anything good in box?

fast cairn
wintry gulch
#

I can completely agree that higher dps tanks are more valuable at lower keys than highly survivable tanks. There's nothing wrong with that statement. But you know, your DK statement doesn't work as a contrast. If anything a highly survivable tank can pull more and make cleave comps do more.

lusty grotto
#

64 residuum for 11 key

lavish oracle
#

@lusty grotto What do you mean? It's 313 Strength

supple path
#

On lower keys your bottleneck on pulling is the group dying to standing in shit and not interrupting, not tank survivability

lusty grotto
#

i was looking at the wrong one hang on

lavish oracle
#

It's from the new world boss

wintry gulch
#

The problem with that mentality is the assumption there's a bottleneck for lower keys but not higher ones...? You're emphasizing the cons of lower keys but higher keys should have the exact same problem but more strict?

daring marlin
#

Where's the new world boss atm?

I cant log in

Access violation error

daring marlin
#

ah gotta unlock it then

primal crypt
#

Wtf

supple path
#

I mean, the context I'm primarily speaking towards is "people hate prot warriors for their pugged +10s", so I'm thinking of pugs, not competitive groups that execute perfectly.

pseudo hamlet
#

Deafening Crash nerf? or am i reading the tooltip wrong.

brisk flax
#

part of that is Prot Warrior isnt like BDK or Monk in that a retarded person cant just pick the class up and play it correctly

daring marlin
#

It's a nerf

#

but overall we've been buffed to the moon

#

Enjoy, friend!

zinc creek
#

I kite more as brm than prot. My warrior can face tank shit and do more damage I love it

lusty grotto
#

ok so wowhead is fucked and it has the wrong stats on it @lavish oracle

brisk flax
#

and lets face it the majority of people who play this game now are kind of stupid

supple path
#

Oh yeah, I mean, the average prot warrior I've grouped with as arms was a trainwreck.

brisk flax
#

and are giving prot warriors a bad name

daring marlin
#

the majority of people that have played this game have always been stupid

#

not just now lol

lusty grotto
#

oh woops yeah it has the wrong stats on the tooltip

lavish oracle
#

@lusty grotto Oh, weird

supple path
#

the amount I've seen sit there at 100 rage for 30 seconds while getting wrecked is...too damn high.

lusty grotto
#

but they are correc on the page

#

that seems like a solid trinket yea

#

let me check ppm cause i dont remember it for butchers block

brisk flax
#

that is why we dont get into pugs

#

because our abilities and rage spending actually matters

supple path
#

But okay, to restate the premise in a less offensive fashion - the things that make us less desirable than BDKs for really high keys are frequently non-factors in lower keys.

daring marlin
#

never once had issues pugging anything higher than 10s as a warrior tank lol

lavish oracle
#

I've only tested butcher's block once or twice, seemed like the PPM was ~1 anyways

brisk flax
#

and people that dont use rage properly are gonna get destroyed in higher keys

lavish oracle
#

Mighta just had bad luck, though

brisk flax
#

monk smooths and mitigates damage out for you pretty idiot proof

shit yeah i dont know the actual ppm on butcher's block i thought i had an old one but i can't find it so i probably broke it on the expulsom thing

brisk flax
#

and DK is pretty damn easy in that regard as well

daring marlin
#

anyone that claims BDK is super duper easy hasn't played it

brisk flax
#

it is easier than Prot

#

any day of the week

supple path
#

their rotation is annoying and makes me mad but it was pretty easy

#

all the empty globals give you a lot more time for yelling at pugs too

daring marlin
#

prot isn't hard

supple path
#

prot is unforgiving more than hard

daring marlin
#

proactive vs reactive

brisk flax
#

harder than BDK

wintry gulch
#

I mean Prot just had a lot of its restrictions lifted with the whole not on gcd thing. That might not even be a true statement anymore.

supple path
#

The consequences for messing up as prot are worse than as BDK or monk or whatnot

brisk flax
#

we arent talking about one spec here we are talking about in comparison to others dude

#

BDK is easier than Prot Warrior to play

sand egret
#

dis be spicey

brisk flax
#

and so is BRM

lofty junco
#

The average prot warrior gets less practice tanking than say a BDK, so on average they're going to be worse, so people are going to have less confidence in them and invite them less, so they'll get less practice. So yeah, your likely to find bad ones. BDK is not too much easier to play well, but it was more survivable, people trusted it, and the average pug BDK just runs more instances than the average pug Warrior so has more practice.

#

Outside of pugs that goes out the window.

sand egret
#

πŸ€”

supple path
#

The most 'difficult' part of BDK is probably some nonsense like identifying the perfect time to use death strikes for maximizing healing, and it's just one of those things that no one really notices or cares if you mess up. Whereas a warrior who doesn't hit their keys properly gets hit for 2x as much and dies to a two shot that shows up in their logs as being a failure.

daring marlin
#

Making sure to have SB up and using LS to fill in gaps=super duper hard gameplay

wintry gulch
#

Pretty much agre with Zeidrich. I get the same thing with Priest. Holy Priests have a stigma from lack of survivability and everyone's always on Disc's case, even in situations where Holy clearly shines over it (like bursting) you'll still see more Disc representation just because it has great representation and people have faith in it.

daring marlin
#

and not capping rage by using IP

brisk flax
#

Fucking up as a prot warrior is way more punishing than any other tank spec as well

daring marlin
#

woah!

#

How does one fuck up as a prot warrior?

#

The very basic thing I just outlined?

supple path
#

Well let's be fair Guilford, it's more than that too - if you're playing prot warrior PERFECTLY, you've aligned the gaps in your block/LS rotation with monster casts and whatnot

lofty junco
#

Macro shield block to every ability πŸ˜ƒ

daring marlin
#

I'm turning into Levko

lofty junco
#

is how you screw up

daring marlin
#

waht the fuck

supple path
#

granted that's the sort of excessive minmaxing no one really notices not happening

daring marlin
#

@ember arrow I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL NOW

lofty junco
#

But I wasn't talking about relative strength, just player skill. Bad BDKs get a lot more opportunities to learn than bad prot warriors.

brisk flax
#

not chaining actives properly. Not using IP when it actually matters. Not spell reflecting when you should. Spending rage incorrectly.

#

you do these things you die

lusty grotto
#

hmm tukui updater isn't working

brisk flax
#

you do those things as a Monk or DK you get a hard pass

#

lol

#

because they are more forgiving

supple path
#

Warriors also have the fun combo of having block and spell reflect as important mitigation tools, but the game doesn't spoonfeed you info about what they work vs.

#

Not a problem for the learned warrior, but the sort of thing that makes the class 'harder' for someone picking it up

daring marlin
#

That's true about the whole game now

#

lol

wide girder
#

who have tried PROT IN m+?

lusty grotto
#

haven't we had this conversation before?

supple path
#

most of us

brisk flax
#

I mean i have a BRM and a Prot Warrior

supple path
#

Or did you mean specifically since the patch today?

wide girder
#

8.1 ofc

brisk flax
#

i can say with 100% certainty that BRM is a joke and a moron can play it

zinc creek
#

True

wide girder
lusty grotto
#

i only have prot warrior since vanilla, jk i leveled all tank classes in legion to get mage tower shit

brisk flax
#

BDK ill get back to you now that i can level one and not have to worry about rep grinding

lofty junco
#

BRM is pretty boring honestly.

brisk flax
#

for necklace

supple path
#

I play a prot warrior and BDK. The BDK feels aggressively easy.

daring marlin
#

I did all the tank ones in legion too

#

except DH

cuz I'm not an edgyboi

@primal crypt dx12?

sick sentinel
#

dude

primal crypt
#

yeah

lofty junco
#

Thing I like about BDK is that every ability does something specific. Prot it's like I have shield bash, revenge, thunderclap, devastate, and those are all just tools to kind of build rage for my other abilities. With DK, every button I press apart from like heart strike, has a specific purpose.

sick sentinel

prot is so much more fun

now that ip is off GCD

I wonder if the meme ez clap comes from our thunder clap

Honestly yeah, being the tank with an offensive dispel would be great utility. What a shame that it was agreed to be the single most annoying PvP passive of all time so will never come back.

what are incursions

frosty escarp

yeah, tempted to try my prot warrior now..... been arms/fury all expac.

would you guys say Prot is on the same tier as BRM?

incursions are the new invasions

wear PROT GEAR PLS

sick sentinel

haste/mast is prot gear

??

and fathoms?

sick sentinel

i don't have a trinket to replace it with ??

lusty grotto

all gear is prot gear

fathoms bis for prot

sick sentinel
#

yes I'm wearing fathoms

lol

lusty grotto
#

highest ilvl is prot gear

wide girder
#

as all know prot is new arms

sick sentinel
#

i have no other trinket

lusty grotto
#

i don't know why you would say "wear prot gear"

ionic willow
#

is this a dumb question friendly discord

lusty grotto
#

before you make that question

wide girder
daring marlin
#

zul is a dickhead for us

lusty grotto
#

then if it's not in any of the guides or whatever, you can ask

wide girder
ionic willow
#

It is not strictly in any of the guides. I have heard warrior is pretty good at off-tanking fetid as they can block thrash, but I am curious as to rotationally how it is done. I do not think you can SB every single thrash, so really how is it done?

sick sentinel
#

you can sb every thrash

primal crypt
#

can't even make the engineering goggles 😦

sick sentinel
#

and if you can't sb

#

you last stand

#

i guess

ionic willow
#

is there some strict haste requirement to get SB low enough to be able to do?

daring marlin
#

I think with enough haste you could block every thrash now without using LS

#

don't quote me on that

#

obviously

#

lolololoolololll

lusty grotto
#

no haste requirements @ionic willow

ionic willow
#

thanks - i'll give it a whirl

atomic gazelle
#

so ideally, 1 brace, 1 deafening, 1 archive?

daring marlin
#

wear whatever has highest ilvl

atomic gazelle
#

assuming all 370s

daring marlin
#

sounds good to me

atomic gazelle
#

or do i want 1 deaf 2 brace?

daring marlin
#

archive in raid

#

and archive is good in general

#

for dps

atomic gazelle
#

yeah i was wondering since str also gives more armor now

sand egret
#

does the brace piece have IV πŸ˜ƒ

atomic gazelle
#

hmm i'll check

sand egret

they close enough imho that the other traits can come into play

oh, I thought it was 370+socket rezan vs. any other 380 trink

that's why i'm asking

so with Deafening crash nerf, how worth is it to use to you guys?

daring marlin

also the 55k IP was with vial up

yes, for sure

daring marlin

I'm used to it just cuz I was dicking around with it on PTR some

@daring marlin wtffffffffff

sick sentinel
#

do the darkshore rares drop gear

I'm sure they do

idk about good gear

warfronts drop 395 gear?

It was from the quest

#

What's the azerite vendor prices like?

daring marlin
#

same as ptr

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

#

Oh

#

Not so bad

#

it's a carrot on a stick

daring marlin
#

It's pretty bad

sick sentinel
#

to keep you subbed to this shitty game

daring marlin
#

idk

sick sentinel
#

I thought it'd be worse

#

it is very bad

steel mauve
#

not really... its more so to give people that need to farm specific pieces of gear and bitching about it what they wanted

sick sentinel
#

How much crack dust do u get from a 340

#

no

#

it's to make you FEEL like they did something

daring marlin
#

lol iron

sick sentinel
#

in the 10 weeks of cache you could get 1 385

#

and in 10 weeks

daring marlin
#

I laughed at people being happy over this

sick sentinel
#

385 will be worthless

daring marlin
#

when all blizz did

sick sentinel
#

because mythic will drop 415

daring marlin
#

was shit in their mouth

#

be different if you could actually farm residuum and it dropped from M+ boxes

#

syke

#

just the weekly box

sick sentinel
#

They did say they are going tk watch the cost over the weeks

steel mauve
#

cant you get new azerite pieces from world quests and raids and scrap them for residuum

daring marlin
#

yeah but

sick sentinel
#

From what I remember yes

daring marlin
#

the amount you get is awful

#

1 for a 340

#

3 for 355

#

12 for a 370

#

and 35 for a 385

steel mauve
#

so you can actually farm it though

daring marlin
#

not really?

#

there are a set amount you can get

#

welp it didn't drop epic

sick sentinel
#

Is the math out about how long it can take to farm a specific piece/random

steel mauve
#

i dont understand the alchemist stone addition they did either

daring marlin
#

Why not?

steel mauve
#

added 6 new ones, and you can just make the baseline 385 path, but they added a path that started at 355 and goes to 385

#

when the new path is better and will go to 415, so its useless to try to go through the other path of trinkets

sick sentinel
#

most likely an economic choice

#

if they're BoE

daring marlin
#

They're BoP

sick sentinel
#

then no clue

daring marlin
#

I think

#

It's because

#

the 355 one doesn't require tidalcores

#

and the 385 one does

#

355 one requires hydrocores

west kayak
#

Those start becoming available Season 2 but when does that start?

lusty grotto
#

when raid comes out

daring marlin
#

tidalcores can't even drop yet can they?
