I mean you CAN rage starve easy now with IP off GCD
yeah
that was my issue first night
Noticed I almost killed myself with that
I'd blow myu load into IP and then be like OWATMYSB?
and have to coveer with LS
ah, was thinking that in fortified weeks we would get a pretty good amount of free revenges and you free revenge before devastate
I only got kettle corn @lusty grotto
Yeah, but why
BV is way more damage
and Veng RPS is not as good as you think
Marok wrote an essay
In avatar TC is priority
like 2 full paragraphs as why Veng looks good on paper
Revenge is like 5k crits ~
In avatar you're gcd locked
you're either pressing SS or TC or DS ๐
more or less
but it comes down the pipe, revenge just isn't pressed that often
Unless you wanna big dick show off on the DPS
Like only in low keys
Do I meme with revenge
thats what i do
I spam revenge
that bigass room in temple
Revenge and Devastate
I only use rfdt as my generation
pull em all meme Deeps
Then reveng
lol
i don't in tha room
the amount of times
the healer focused on orb over loving me
NIM
My company just acquired the claims for Lyft
Didn't Lyft have some scandal a few months ago?
HM i'm embarassed Because i'm pretty sure this has been asked yesterday.
Would the First BoM be worth dtoping 15 ilvl,
Would compete with BFI
thats good lots of work haha
maybe
Only dc you should think of
what lvl m+ are you doing?
i dont think 15 is worth
It was really good for dmg
But his gear is high enough that 15 ilvl didnt really make or break his pulls
Well, 30 ilvls
I'm 376
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Mostly doing 10ish
nahh breh
You have any problems surviving? @outer dew
Np
Usually no
At 10s
i mean
Yeah
You're dropping from 385s
Not a problem to use 370s
then keep it
I'll give ร try.
At worse i'll deplete ร key
lol
Everyone is accepting warriors because they think we got a skill boost or something
Little do they know ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Its the player not the shield
lol that's pretty much it 100%
Seriously though
Groups are about to get super cucked
Little johnny slam ravager over here doesnt even press shield block
Gonna get hammered first pull
yepp
And show that warriors still need to care lol
late is getting some dick suckage right now
1 raid in lfg for mythic taloc/mother
"are you dps?" no i queued as tank "ok" andddd nothing
sounds like you parried a bullet
ah haaaa, the lead is a veng dh, with 2 whole m taloc kills
19k on fh 11 not bad not bad
meanwhile on my paladin "Oh lets get these two 380 bdks for H Taloc" then they get railed
"bdks are good"
lolllll
BDKs on raid @ 8.1
i just wanna get the helm from mother cause thats prob better than my 385 CR/siphon/hatchet one
yeah
@primal crypt idk if you saw that freehold but thats good example what bom can do XD
i tuned in @ the dick sucking
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
title was changed to "M Taloc Pally Tank"
tsk tsk
I found my bom pieces
not worth
Worth
tsar
oh not you yamo
prob cause no aotc on my warr cause when we got go ghuun we had 0 locks and 10 people
:x
@oblique garnet ill replay your vod later
you can aotc in pugs easily, just look for guild groups
Cant watch it right now
I have no clue how to make a vod tho XD
should be auto
Twitch does it for you
since youre not partnered it will be the last video if you don't add favorites
you can "save" them by marking it as favorite but i think you have a limit
ah! didnt know but ghuun has a plate helm with BoM
Idk if saves it tho
what stat are you guys stacking for m+ i hate the guide saying to get vers 2nd.
haste
?
Haste and ilvl
follow your heart @reef sun
Well, ilvl and haste
i have haste and then bunch of mastery/crit/versa
i feel like mastery would be so much better if some retard at blizz didnt decide to make some boss auto attack fire dmg
Yeah any stat after haste I just wear
spell reflect ftw
^
spell reflect is not enough
ip?
Shield wall
demo shout?
Demo shout
last stand?
motherlode 3rd boss is a fucking shit show
better healer?
even if you spell reflect all the dots
yep shes purely magic damage, same deal with final boss of motherlode
Hits hard
really annoying
i use all cd n shit and external its still dumb af
Better than kings rest berserkers
oh thats for sure but still
on 15 + keys tyranical health just spike from full to sub 50% all time an its annoying af
Get a mythrax trinket
the only things that will really spike you are spells
It's so unfortunate
you have a few tools to delay them but nothing to really stop them asides from your interrupt and spell reflect
yeah, but he's specifically mentioning a magic heavy boss
well those bosses are cancer regardless what you do
im talking bout the last 2 bosses of motherlode
just dont use SB at all and spam ip
yeah thats what im doing but I still hate it
yeah its a shitty fight for prot warriors
maybe i dont have enough vers but apparently no one here actualy stack it so i guess im cool
if you can cast it fast enough, you can spell reflect her acid throw or whatever it is
i was
Oh dont forget rallying cry
you can reflect last boss autos too
Thats another good one
you sr when 1-2 sec are left on timer cause she cast that shit fast af
and you get them all
don't forget demo!
dont worry i use cd on cd on that bitch
high uptime always
rip in peace
singular though
and none from uldir
you only need 1 DC
dont have a single one
pvp ๐
when in doubt, demo shout
the go to answer for all your woes
random question. are you able to intercept a group member with SR up and reflect a spell targeted at them? i would assume so but i've never really tried to do that since i assume that at some point i'll get targeted by that spell
but if it does work, maybe it could have some cool uses on bosses like the last boss on AD
like it would be cool to reflect wracking pain for instance
but it doesn't target the tank unless the group is dead
so kill ur group
you right
drag boss into the soul things and kill the group and just solo the boss
why didn't i think of this before
๐
i've been playing warrior for about 3 years now, but i only ever tank every now and then. but since our prot pally is going hunter, i am stepping in because prot is fun to me. figured i should see if there are things about it that i didn't really think of before.
lurking hard
to answer u though I dont think ranged attack's umbrella is large enough to work with things like Wracking Pain
hmmmmm
will have to give it a shot on a lower key or something then
and if i run safeguard, they'll be fine anyway right
ez life
Safeguard doesnt change how Intercept works, just adds 30% damage taken to you
right
i'm saying that if i don't intercept the ability then they will still have a 30% dr on them
u can also just kick it though lol
3x Iron Fortres :^)
yeah, but seeing how much damage some of these reflects can do just makes me feel good inside
as far as spell refelct goes, the cutest I'd recomend getting with it is that If multiple spells target you and hit you at the same time, spell reflect will hit all of them
and you can set that up with shockwave
i don't do keys nearly as high as sense, but watching him reflect 325k blood bolts on the first boss of UR just feels good in my soul
its easiest to do wit hthe adds before garok tul
i'll have to keep that in mind
fuck timer
playing for timer is playing how blizzard wants you to play
thats for losers.
Has skipping those adds been working for people since patch? Last time I ran into that area they basically just instantly evaded/chain teleported onto us
they probably will
Honestly i always kill them because i am a ๐
guys guys, i have to actually learn about skips and whatnot. so far everything has just been being a mongo
hows protection now compared to before patch?
faster
RE: skips
I def made the mistake of getting higher score on my rogue than my warrior and now im doing higher keys where shroud skips are like necesssary and im like lol this keys dead now because I am retarded
what traits do you recommend for mythoc+?
I just tricks the DH
:^)
BoMx2 DCx1
for M+ if ur fatty pulling
iLvL over everything 'cept DC
covered in 
I still want a proper Blademaster spec
that'd probably be for rogue
MY-O BLADE UH SEEEKZ VENGANCE
โ โ 1โฃ
I HEAR AND OBEY
HUE!
I AM YOURS
:^) ur gunna make my blush tofu
that's lwed
taste my blade ;^)
but but warriors are 3 hero classes
warrior aka tauren chieftain blademaster king
thats the official name
Tauren Chiefmountain blademaster king
You mean happyfun stand in front of party friends?
Blademountain Masterking is a dope fucking title.
Side bar: how come trolls in WoW are so much less cool than trolls in WC3
I wanna be the bad mon
not the alien from space jam that took over the CHARLES BARKLEY
@oblique garnet Or really
Don't interrupt in Underrot
when they dont look like they'd be bullied for having the crust cut off their sandwich
anyone fucked around with going to the left trash instead of zombie alley for AD? I haven't gone through the priestess way in a hot second and was wondering if anyone has a route they like that way
No blade those adds are worse
don't stream for a few
I wont
I wonder if it had effect that i turned the setting on mid stream will it save it
..........
Damn
It
Late
No vod?
I had to turn off my auto vod too
Twitch didnt like the pants coming off
These are clips tho
damn Late be bumpin during his runs
Only on fh
gettin real with that bootyclappin
weird, i get past broadcasts just fine
this you running the BoM setup?
Yh
sick, i swapped one of my pieces with it on to mess around
but even with 1 looking at my mast shoot up...
Avatar is going to be one fucking hell of a button press haha
basically DH meta at this point
i get blue balls cause my team doesn't log on
i would pug tonight but i want to play smash with friends
Im gonna be real salty if it doesnt store the vod
It probably would have been 20k overall if the group had ccd infesteds so i couldve double pulled more
Bursting helps with tclap?
Kk
I'll make a few tonight
And see what it's like
Although...my group is asking for my dk tonight
No idea why
No need to los anything on fh
Casters are the death of me
Theres like 2 caster mobs that need to be range interrupted
Other than that its ez
This is why you have GeForce exp save highlights hehehhee
frost doesn't need, and fire isn't terribly miserable
Weird
Update GeForce experience maybe
Win10 also has a built in shadow play though
Only time GeForce exp crashed my games was in the early stages of it
Oh yeah theres the auto copyrighted music detection so it might take extra
just imagine what it would take your pc to encode 3 hour videos
alternate take: BoM is too beastly for Twitch
Flagged nsfw
are you using OBS to stream late?
Yes
i noticed your source was 720p too
you could probably stream 1080 np with your upload
I just let the obs run the automatic settings
oh right
Ye i have 1000/100
i have to fucking downsize to 1080 because i run at 1440p :\
But im not partnered so cant stream 1080p
hmm
i thought it was only 1080@60fps
i thought 30 fps 1080 was allowed, ill have to recheck
either way its fine, just curious
If not i just have to do it again smh
lol don't worry it'll be up
Protection warrior is a cool guy, eh tanks and doesnโt afraid of anything
keys go faster because of our dps like pre 8.1 etc
ya we blasted through a +11 ml
dps didn't change from before so
felt like i took 0 dmg, only thing that did hurt were the 2 energy lashes
yeah that was the case before too
tbh i never got accepted as warri tank
people think we got massive buffs, but we really didn't
so at least invites are going out
which is good for puggers
i mean the ignore pain just feels better
ignore pain revert was nbd though
I wanna dig mine out and catch up, get to tank next patch.
people seem to think it was though
Played my warrior for the first time after the patch, pressing IP and realizing it not being on GCD felt almost euphoric
so thats good for those people looking to show their skills to pugs
sadly i dont have a deafening crash trait
yikes
i really enjoy the playstyle
Havent played mine since bc and wrath. Loved it back then.
well just remember good effective uptime on SB during blockable attacks and always having Demo Shout up
since IP is new for you
the demo shout thing is a bit new too
since it was more of a cd back then
Yeah, cool thanks, was just reading that a bit ago.
IP is important to spend rage and smooth out dmg
you compliment Shield Block (or bolstered Last stand) and Demo shout with it
As long as we get to charge and shield slam something in the face, it's all good
well, now we bootyclap
That is a bit different for sure
IP change is big af
avatar -> tclap -> demo shout -> tclap and spam that clap
๐
it's a QoL change bull
its not
it leaves you with more gcds to use shit but
IP off gcd = no more wasted gcd during avatar / DC windows
no more wasted SS/revenge procs
hmm
its sick as hell
uh huh, it's a slight dps buff, but small really
also means you get to squeeze in a devastate or two during avatar if rng is a bitch
NO ITS SICK SHUT UP ๐
you avatar -> clap -> demo?
I avatar during my prepot
aw
Cant do 1080p
->charge->tcla->demp->tclap
Not yet
get threat
I think I'll miss the old axe throw to silence casters tho
I just taunt
if u charge-ava-dc-clap
snap threat yeah
since that's not on gcd
you're 2(now) gcd's in with 0 threat generation
and also pre-DC nerf it gave you a gcd up on demo shout duration
oh yeah forgot about demo uptime
I have no proof ava prepull is better
It just feels better to me
right but that opener doesn't do anything anymore for demo uptime since its capped
I'll have to get that figured out
for opener threat
cus demo isn't on threat table
Less wasted globals which you can spend on clapping
and DR
int?
with booming voice
if you're far enough out you could still avatar during int when int was on gcd
intercept
intercept
Careful not to clap too early now

As you intercept
for the record im refering to M+ pulls
o
where you're often not 30 yds out
i was referring to single-target raid pulls
if you were a true furry warrior you would know that intercept was our in-combat charge on berserker stance @sick sentinel
i mean, int being off gcd makes int -> avatar 100% doable now
on those what I've done is int +taunt -> demo -> avatar -> clap
even if you're not 30y out
@lusty grotto I started playing warrior for BFA
warrior
Haha I remember stance dancing
rip me
๐จ ๐จ fotm reroller alert for @sick sentinel ๐จ ๐จ
Ha.
it was objectively the best spec for every fight
and no fight was essentially tuned to arms at all :)
Hey better than giving in and going dk right?
are you admitting arms is better?
I was bdk in legion
Lol
๐ค
Cuz they have best mog?
and the juciest dongs
whats a good amount of haste to have prior to ITF
30 billion
doesn't matter @junior kernel
really?
like we say ad-nauseaum here: ilvl > all
say i have a ton of gear around the same ilvl, i should take what has haste and mastery on it though right
Im going to stack all my mastery gear
haste is also close to them but leans towards best for now
just sim it 4head?
can't go wrong with ye olde legion ilvl > haste > versa >= mastery > crit for defensiveness
Or rather
Isnt Crit>whatever better for defensiveness
Should I stack the crit gear
i vaguely remember reading that in a spreadsheet
๐ค
๐ค
So many choices
the one with k values
So little keys
crit is "better" in the sense that it provides parry chance, but since parry is unreliable as fuck it goes dead last
yo bloodsport is pretty lit... at 370 it's 4.4k extra IP
3x means 13k more
triple bongsport
triple dongsport?
2x bom also increase the ip by 6k ish
80k IP let's go
so 2x BoM and 1 DC?
Ok I gotta go read the guides and get my shield bashing butt in gear and get to work! Looks like icy veins is the ticket.
both are managed by marok
icy veins and wowhead
but we usually just say icy veins
@junior kernel only for m+ and only if you know what you're doing
2x BoM is not that good for raids
it's not that much different than in M+ in that regard
It is and isn't depending on ur status with the guild and how often u bound with then
I don't make calls and all that whenever I tank
m+ is a bigger responsibility, Raid is a bigger commitment
one is 30 minutes of not sucking and the other is showing up for 2-4 hours
if you feel like you can't survive with 2x BoM make sure you swap to the other defensive traits. BoM is good for damage, but there are stronger traits for defensiveness
yeah i'm with bull on that one
@junior kernel
@lusty grotto is there a way to check if its uploading or nah?
Ur vods?
@oblique garnet i check now
Ye
Yup
Oh great
Google just messaged me
Heavy traffic, doubled time today
Im so happy right now
Less time at home to throw boms into these dungeons
Wait a minute, @oblique garnet what slots do you have bom in
there's no way to check that @oblique garnet it's behind the scenes
is BoM good?
yeah i got like an hour of fucking traffic
in m+ yes, in raid its about as meh as every other trait
@lusty grotto lul
BoM is good in M+ only and only for damage
Ilvl > trait for everything but DC still
Im omw!
yeah you only need 1 DC
im double checking
Argh...it's raining
Also the neutral trait is probably better than 2nd dc
i know forsure i have c'tharkis shoulder
Smh i read somewhere that if you turned it on mid stream it doesnt save vods๐ช
:(((((((
Icy veins
and im not at home
to see what trait it has on raidbots
But it should still show vods after that was enabled so im confused why is it takinng that long to upload
ty @primal crypt
Where do you live that the traffic is that bad
hey its not as bad as california :p
My paycheck basically goes to gas and WoW
๐
And sometimes milk obviously
don't worry i also remember wanting to kill myself in traffic there
๐
It's ok though
With the milk we get some beer and it's justified since I went out of my way
๐ ๐ ๐
what are the two fights ppl are saying warrior gonna crush in BoD?
All of them
Hey guys, quick question about shields. If its a significant ilvl upgrade it would be better than a shield with better secondaries cuz of the armor/block value?
I'm joking, @shut summit or @hot locust can probably answer you @ocean reef
Woops tagged the wrong person
Yes @finite gull , for the infinite time never go for secondaries over ilvl, and much less on shields due to those reasons
i think one was jaina?
@lusty grotto Cheers, just got a 15 ilvl upgrade shield so i had a feeling it was an upgrade but wanted to double check ๐
We should have a pin that says secondaries are never worth sacrificing ilvl for imo
Back to BoD, if the boss has blockable attacks and/or lots of adds, we will be amazing on them
Same as we were in uldir
Lol
What is "pog"?
Saw that first hand yesterday in a heroic uldir pug
Short for poggers
It's twitch language
If I'm not mistaken
Yeah

You can use urban dictionary for those ;)
I need that wadner emoji as a sticker for WhatsApp pronto
Rip theres no vod its gone i guess i have to do it again
i wonder what happened
Probably because the autosave on vods was turned on mid stream
No
K, thanks
@primal crypt stream up and go do the fh
https://www.wowhead.com/item=166976/emblazoned-alchemist-stone what is the opinion for this trinket on prot?a few top prot warriors are running it now
do you have a log Jack? we can try to check what you're doing
No logs sorry
it shouldn't be "harder"
they hurt the same with Fort + Teeming
so its likely that it's something you're doing wrong
Its because its fortified
Last week was a joke so it feels harder
Ima start streaming more consistently after next wednesday
I could probably cheese out more dps by macroing the on use trinket from darkshore world boss
So getting to 21k overall dps might actually be possible
Probably on next tier
damn you right
well...if I can get enough CC tonight
I'm pulling like 5-6 packs
and lusting it XD
y tho
It was a pug man
ohhhh
Ye
I thought it was still your group
chested at least?
Lmao no
oh my
Yup
Thats how bad it went
We missed the rogue who was normally there
And our main dh
So Intimidating Presence stacks. I pulled a pack of 10 mobs in m+ and got a 350k damage prevented
and dps
Pretty sick
Also the fact that last adds are bugged doesnt help
@hot locust your stream is lagging for some reason for me๐
looks good to me
gotta turn off the downloads from extra curricular sites @oblique garnet
Idk i checked on phone and laptop both had weird lag every 10s or so
seems alright to me @hot locustsama
Random stream freezes
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
uhhhhh
You running the double BoM?
I dont have any framedrops
what happen with addons
Lala?
why is everything out of date all of a sudden
just 1
Ah
The double is actually insane
I dropped 15ilvls on 2 pieces of gear to get it and got big dps increase but its worse for survival standpoint
rip
is BOM better than BOI now?
@lusty grotto ima do it now
brace for impact
ok
so all is not lost
ok so i was a bit sceptical about goin for 2x BoM 1x DC , but after few M 11-13 , i fucking loving it ๐
the dmg output is insane and the two random healers i used for those runs told me that healing me was easy
2 healing m+ 
you guys ever just pull big in waycrest and do like 100k+ dps? โ ๐
@potent anvil we saw the clip from JB stream
its fun lol
any streamer prot war m+? to stalk him
Is BoM that good
for dmg
probably for m+, i dont know if its good for raiding
brace for impact is still better, defensively i think. but bom is good for damage, yeah.
got a BoM Gemhide chest which is nice
@white hollow lala is streaming
Do any of you know why prot warrior cannot be simmed?
lala_senpai
Ive seen Sense streaming b4
no tank can be simmed
Im pretty sure u can sim bdk
ok ty
you're "pretty sure"?
I can sim both my dk and monk doe?
for dps?
The only tanks you can't sim are Warriors, you can sim the rest for DPS.
By pretty sure i mean ive simmed myself as bdk b4
guess they have working APLs
Simming for survival is 100% a no.
i mean for dmg, who cares about surviving?
yikes
The new Intimidating Presence trait is pretty sick for m+
i think if you just want dps, you go for ilvl on gear right? i dunno, i just put on my highest ilvl pieces and go for it.
if you knew how prot warrior does dps you would have an answer
Just asking, no need to get all sassy mister
you haven't seen sassy chef nimchip
anyway that wasn't sass at all, it's a fact
i mean i guess someone could make an APL strictly for Hectic CLeave
closest thing outside of the new M+ sim that raidbots put in
So, how does prot feels and ranks right now? Did 8.1 make us decent?
a bit better, slightly better resource management, but if you're bad you're still gonna die
hold up
It's not the APL that's the issue.
i forgot viable
Ait just got a random nr.1 rank on lfr taloc for shit and giggles. Guess I sort of know what im doing then
lel lfr
but LFR is the most relevant metric since it's what most of the population runs

Haha
๐ค
@dark junco If you were a poopoo warrior before youโll be a shinier turd now.
is there alink for deswind clip on waycrest?
@potent anvil item restoration man in terms of damage up its worth sacrificing ilvl and you should still be fine on higher keys aswell even if you go 2x BoM
Btw @primal crypt even if everything goes horribly wrong you can still do 18k dps overall
Yeah thats easily doable
I'm about to wear 3 x 375 pieces
I just did a pug with the worst healer
and just call it a day ;p;
even with the 3 x 375 pieces
Yup
Im at 383 with those
Also
You should get the new world boss trinket
Macro it with avatar
done
Yup
noice
@ocean acorn this is the one pull i did on waycrest if that's what you're looking for: https://clips.twitch.tv/SmellyGeniusSaladAMPEnergy
thanks @potent anvil
why do prots value crit these days, I thought it's bad defense-wise, or is it for added damage in m+?
@oblique garnet the other traits were shit
Mmkay
