#

The warrior is more fun imo

#

BDK rotation is mindless

uneven mason
#

give it a go then

#

warriors are still 100% Proactive

oblique garnet
#

Warrior is already better than bdk on raid setting

#

on next tier

thorn ocean
#

For sure, I never meant to imply they weren't

oblique garnet
#

Theres couple of bosses where dk is better

thorn ocean
#

Just that BDK is not unviable

uneven mason
#

Never said they were

#

but they are really hurting

#

btw saying "they're below bears"

#

isn't saying they're not viable

mellow quartz
#

I haven’t really touched my bdk in 2 weeks other than M ghuun prog nights and every time I log on him it’s sooo boring vs playing my warrior....

uneven mason
#

Tanks while we have a "ranking" of them

#

were not horribly far apart in Uldir

#

mostly with the difference being what extras they could bring

thorn ocean
#

lol @mellow quartz I'm honestly in the same boat, I got my Warrior from 360 to 380 and am pushing 14/15 keys now but I still do progression on my BDK

uneven mason
#

BrM stood out as brainless and forgiving

#

so that got the meta sticker

#

do they require that much less EHRPS? No, not really

mellow quartz
#

When people talk about tank rankings for next tier they talk about the first 2-3 weeks when you are still under geared

uneven mason
#

its just that there is no gaps in their AM

#

Monks wil lALWAYS reduce damage

#

with no input from the player

thorn ocean
#

yeah I have no desire to play a monk, I think the playstyle looks unfun

uneven mason
#

its boring

#

I was fiddling with mine

thorn ocean
#

I have a 385 BDK and 380 PRW, and if both were unviable I'd probably level up my 110 Paladin to 120

uneven mason
#

but the fact that I know that the difference between tanking like a god and tanking like a blind chimp

#

is 18%

#

made it undoable

mellow quartz
#

@uneven mason I know what you are saying but other classes also mitigate without doing anything.

#

Obviously not on the same level

uneven mason
#

well yeah, but awarrior doing noting

thorn ocean
#

do you think PRW will see better representation in M+?

uneven mason
#

will fall down quite fast

#

same with BDK

#

VDH

#

and Bear

mellow quartz
#

My warrior who is 10 ilvl under my DK has 3k more armor just flat number.

thorn ocean
#

that as keys get higher the damage and physical mitigation will start to shine more at all?

uneven mason
#

well bear less so

#

warrior probably has 30% Less health tho

manic perch
#

just crafted my engineering head, any suggestions on traits?

uneven mason
#

well 19% now

mellow quartz
#

Yep

thorn ocean
#

max health isn't so important though, and can be a hinderance once you're past the critical level on % health-based mechanics

uneven mason
#

But I'll tell ya

#

healing a BDK who doesn't use AM

#

is the worst thing to run into as a healer

#

doing dugeons on my shaman

#

I ran into a BDK who thought all they had todo was "be a BDK"

mellow quartz
#

Health is EHP so more is always better really.

uneven mason
#

and they magically lived

#

EHP Matters

#

in practice however

thorn ocean
#

@mellow quartz I meant in M+ with things like quaking and bursting

uneven mason
#

it doesn't matter

thorn ocean
#

having excess HP puts a strain on the healer

uneven mason
#

0_o

#

Not really

#

the BDK is going to heal that extra portion himself

#

Druids have a lot of healt hand have bonus healing

mellow quartz
#

What do you mean hp doesn’t matter

uneven mason
#

"Tanking models" ERMAHGAWD

mellow quartz
#

That is just plain ignorant

uneven mason
#

It does and it does not

#

so EHP is a solid metric right, how long you can live without external intervention

mellow quartz
#

It doesn’t if you focus on it by cutting out something else

thorn ocean
#

It's better to have EHP based on mitigation than raw HP when it comes to effective healing received

mellow quartz
#

But every bit you have helps

uneven mason
#

however, a warriors EHP is smaller, but we require in general, less external intervention (out tanking model)

#

this is what makes us fantastic and bad at once.

mellow quartz
#

Taking a straight up unmitigated magic attack to the face

#

There it matters a lot

uneven mason
#

why would you do that though

mellow quartz
#

I am by no means saying focus on it over other things

#

But saying it doesn’t matter is just not true

uneven mason
#

As a warrior why would you not, mitgate the magic damage hehe 😄

#

right our short EHP only matters when we don't do anything

#

EHP is mor or less can be grasped as "the forgiveness number"

#

how forgiving is it whne you fuck the poodle and don't play properly

mellow quartz
#

It’s kinda a pointless discussion anyway since your health is what it is

#

You are going highest ilvl anyway

#

So you don’t really control it

tribal fox
#

how muhc % block chance are 400stat block?

steel mauve
#

Wait, block stat doesnt even effect block chance

uneven mason
#

I was just explaining what I meant by HP matters, and HP doesn't matter

#

mastery is block %

fast garnet
#

Is having a second deafening crash worthless? Just got a deafening crash from the residuum vendor

uneven mason
#

block stat (from your shield) is how much you block for.

#

Flurk it does more damage

oblique garnet
#

Dont you just love it when the first boss in atal bugs out and you get eaten half way across the fucking map

uneven mason
#

but it doesn't add more extension

steel mauve
#

Its not worthless but there are better options as a second trait, i would still take it if its a higher ilvl than your other pieces

uneven mason
#

1 DC 1 BOM 1 BFI/IF (Or 2 BoM)

tribal fox
uneven mason
#

it increases how much you block for.

steel mauve
#

The amount of dmg you block not the chance...

uneven mason
#

its a stat based on your shield

tribal fox
#

so i get 151 less dmg if i block?

steel mauve
#

No

uneven mason
#

you get 151 block (its basically like armor)

fast garnet
#

Is it worth taking Tradewinds over a second deafening then?

steel mauve
#

We have an equation to turn block into the % dmg blocked

tribal fox
#

ok and can i find any stat thats telling me if it is worth taking it or not? xD

steel mauve
#

Its not a 1 to 1 ratio

uneven mason
#

it scales same as armor

tribal fox
#

im confused x/

uneven mason
#

erm

steel mauve
#

I mean theres a trait tier list telling you what traits to take

#

Block / (block + k)

uneven mason
#

sorry

#

yeah that

steel mauve
#

400 block in mythic/mythic + would basically block .053% more dmg

uneven mason
#

well

#

block is taken as a whole

#

since it uses a diminishing scale

sand egret
#

John, simply if you look at our character sheet and highlight the bottom, "Block" stat. Go hit a dummy with shield slam and look at it again

tribal fox
#

ok ty 😃

sand egret
#

you'll see the mitigation % increases. Highlight your mastery

#

then see that is a % increase to chance

steel mauve
#

Make sure its a specific dummy, since all 4 difficulties of content have different degrees of k value

sick sentinel
#

so , update on earlier even though nobody cares about it

sand egret
#

irrelevant

sick sentinel
#

kings rest 14 was easy

sand egret
#

he should see a change in block regardless

#

which is his confusion

sick sentinel
#

I got totally fucked by manor 14 though

steel mauve
#

He will see a change but it would still be a different value from normal to heroic uldir

sand egret
#

the guy didn't wanna know bout K values, but rather what the stat represents. You ain't wrong, but it's a bit more than what he was looking for =0

tribal fox
#

ya i got my answer already 😃

#

ty all pretty much 😃

sand egret
#

the key distinction was Block chance = mastery. Block stat (from shield and traits) = how much a block, blocks

#

yw John

mellow quartz
#

How did you get fucked in Waycrest kage?

ember arrow
#

In the back alley

primal crypt
#

@oblique garnet Unstable over globs? globs is super underwhelming

sand egret
#

gobs sucks

primal crypt
#

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

sick sentinel
#

I got fucked because the druid that we had the last run and was soothing properly, could not sooth most of the stuff in there

#

And enraged magic cleave hurts

sand egret
#

what else can you soothe in WM aside from the thornguards?

#

OH raging

#

ignore me

#

yeah, that's gotta blow

sick sentinel
#

Haven't depleted a key yet tho

#

Also in the kings rest we had an Spriest and he PUMPED

sand egret
#

New Warrior Ability:
Consume Rage: Consume all Enrage effects within 10 yards and become Enraged, increasing damage and attack speed by 10% because fuck it we're the only ones who can be angry, damnit.

primal crypt
#

Spriest does crazy things now

#

And shackle is amazing

uneven mason
#

Menace - Removed
Show Dominance - Intimidating shout no longer fears targets but instead removes all enrage effects and Immunties on up to 5 targets.

#

👏

#

400IQ fix

sand egret
#

I actually really like that

#

tbh, i'd even suggest that immunities could be replaced by magic buffs and it'd be a-ok

#

Menace: Replaces Intimidating Shout - Apply Menace to all enemies within 8 yards of the target, interrupting the next spell casted.

uneven mason
#

nah

#

don't need more interrupts

#

make it a silence too

#

not an interrupt

sand egret
#

eh, I'm hesitant about it being a flat silence

sick sentinel
#

Wait what? P were gets soothe now?

sand egret
#

no

#

we're making shit up

stoic pilot
#

Didn't see anything relating to this in the pins considering it's an older questions, but any recommended legendaries for prot leveling 110-120? Only able to use one since I just leveled this from scratch but was curious if there was anything crazy useful for prot

dusty tangle
#

bracers prob

sand egret
#

not for prot...but 3x heroic leap

#

is king for leveling

#

leap around gather all mobs > kill quest in one pull

stoic pilot
#

Oh boy, that does sound pretty fun.

sand egret
#

also makes indoor areas

cinder nova
#

Honestly I just want a non RNG mastery

sand egret
#

wayy easier

cinder nova
#

Idgaf about traits

sick sentinel
#

Oh, okay, well I had a question, do you think it is a good idea to macro shield block then shield slam for the extra dmg?

sand egret
#

NOPE

cinder nova
#

I wouldn't

sand egret
#

baaaad idea

cinder nova
#

Holy shit we agree on something

sand egret
#

that just puts you at risk for not having shield block when ya need it=)

cinder nova
#

Xmas miracle

sand egret
#

don't see why we wouldn't

#

but yeah Claw, that's probably not the best idea honestly.

sick sentinel
#

Alright just wanted to make sure a guilty suggested I do that and my initial reaction was no because you need to save it for when it is necessary

sand egret
#

that is the correct reaction

#

other than a slight chuckle to yourself

#

trust me, we don't need any extra stuff or our dps...we're quite fine in that department haha

astral crystal
#

wow bladesong stop posting fake notes :^)

sick sentinel
#

30k shield slam crit in a heroic for tank bag is pretty funny ill admit

sand egret
#

hey Mac's was formatted far more legit than mine haha

cinder nova
#

I finally got a fucking syringe

#

Noticeable home ST

sick sentinel
#

Since we are making up shit though bring back mocking banner or whatever it was in cata that allowed us to mass taunt at range, I mean monks basically have that

sand egret
#

forced melee is a really neat design that actually doesn't exist currently

primal crypt
#

😐

#

nice fake notes

#

came back and had to google shit

#

Thanks guys.

#

Realized they weren't real

sand egret
#

smh

oblique garnet
#

oh damn bosses leave necrotic more frequently now

primal crypt
#

You mean more stacks

#

Quickly?

oblique garnet
#

yes

#

Did gorak tul had 40 stacks at the end

sweet kettle
#

It shouldn't be a problem in most bosses

willow fractal
#

ello all i just joined the disc...so I am a mage main but i am going to half to swap to tank for my guild cause our current tanks are not cutting it...so I have a low lvl warrior tank that I like very much but I do need to be the MT for my guild for raiding ..if you was going to make a main tank for raiding would warrior be your first choice for uldir and the new raid coming on jan.22? just asking for peoples input and opinion's on what tank to make

mental scarab
#

We can take a hit thats for sure

plain ice
#

play what you enjoy m8

signal plover
#

Warrior would be my choice

oblique garnet
#

same

willow fractal
#

tbh i want to play a warrior i alrdy have a DH tank but i dont feel like they make the best raid tanks with the lack of cooldowns

primal crypt
#

Warrior for sure

signal plover
#

I've played bdk and monk casually throughout the tier and they just feel boring to me

#

We have the most CDs

ember arrow
#

Free abrodus

signal plover
#

We are the mitigation tank

stark sage
#

abortus

#

@willow fractal every tank can work right now the balance is decent. it comes down to what you like and how well you can play it

ember arrow
#

SF being toxic?????

#

Ban inc

#

@thyme

stark sage
#

😭

ember arrow
plain ice
#

pour one out for our friend

sand egret
#

@oblique garnet on Gorak since death lens can be interrupted, there’s probably a chance they got in more autos on you which could have lead to higher stacks. AFAIK the two changes to necrotic were magic > phys and that the dot scales with modifiers on the mob that applied it

modern brook
#

@sand egret were u the one trying to tell me bear wasnt fucking boring?

sand egret
#

maybe? i dont find it so

modern brook
#

How come ur argument didnt begin and end with u can play rogue at the same time

mellow quartz
#

Dot scales with modifier of mobs that apply it?

#

You sure about that one?

sand egret
#

lol

#

yeah

modern brook
#

cat weaving is dope af

#

not very good in M+ sure

#

but ive never wanted to raid this hard before

sand egret
#

nope!

modern brook
#

its sick af

oblique garnet
#

@sand egret yeah probably since our dps failed to kill those

#

#PugLife

sand egret
#

makes sense, sucks 😦

#

@mellow quartz yep, its in the notes. check the “news” channel

willow fractal
#

any mechanics in the new raid that warriors excel at?

modern brook
#

Every boss has an aa

#

:^)

sand egret
#

if its blockable

#

we excel

modern brook
#

note i actually dont know if thats true

#

And to expand on @sand egret 's point: the list of blockable spells in the pins has been updated w/ the new raid

mellow quartz
#

@sand egret thought you meant like raging etc

sand egret
#

it may, idk but definitely Fort/Tyrannical

#

i haven't tested to see if it does, tbh

mellow quartz
#

Nothing changed with that

sand egret
#

not sure if its a static or dynamic modifier

mellow quartz
#

It’s just the fort and tyrannical modifiers

sand egret
#

ook cool, that is way easier. If it was dynamic then there's like....Demo Shout affecting it and what not which would totally be weird haha

willow fractal
#

@modern brook where do i find list of blockable spells in the new raid?

sand egret
#

it's in the pins

#

if you're on pc, top right corner

#

if on mobile, click the channel, then it should be in a sub menu.

#

it also has the answers to like 90% of the questions that will probably arise as well

modern brook
#

its burried in there, in fairness

#

gotta scroll downa bit

sand egret
#

yeah, true true

modern brook
#

first word on the pin is "Guides" if that helps

willow fractal
#

found it thank you bull

modern brook
#

2nd one w/ an icy vein link

#

NP

#

sense wrote it so u know its 👌

sand egret
#

best of luck mate

willow fractal
#

yea your write lots of in the pins never knew about that feature in disc lol

modern brook
#

we should pin how to access the pins

sand egret
#

yep, there is a TON of good info in there

willow fractal
#

yea i had no idea been using disc for years

sand egret
#

well, this channel is pretty good about information collecting

#

it's also why we love slamming the pins emote 😃

ember arrow
modern brook
#

we also really just need a "nah" post pinned

#

for when ppl ask if prot is any better in 8.1

sand egret
#

LOL

#

i'd prefer "nah 😉"

modern brook
#

yeah thats p good

#

If u gotta ask if 8.1>8.0, you didnt understand the problems we had in 8.0

#

-> 8.1 prot is still to big brained for ur smol brain

#

qed

sand egret
#

ooo i totally forgot to share this, but I had a first-time ever experience last night. A Rogue in my pug legit got mad when the healer was joking making fun of the dps since I was recking the meters on trash. "Prot is just a faceroll class. Look all his damage is on TClap. Anyone can do that"

#

Healer: "But he's also tanking...and quite well at that"

mellow quartz
#

Facts are facts

#

Anyone can press TC

sand egret
#

then it was just a pigpile on that rogue for the rest of the run

willow fractal
#

i always heard warriors was the worst tanks in 8.0 but no one i talked to could ever say why...what was the reason for the bad rap for warrior tanks?

sand egret
#

healer just going into cat form talking shit about passing the rogue

modern brook
#

@willow fractal honestly bad players

sand egret
#

iron, that is quite a long story

modern brook
#

and a bit of gear dependency

uneven mason
ember arrow
#

@sand egret top 10 anime storylines

modern brook
#

lol

primal crypt
sand egret
#

my short answer would be: Prot fundamentally requires a different mindset to play (proactive vs reactive) and given the overall tank shift away from the gods tanks were in Legion, there were a lot of warriors not playing correctly. Prot, also being quite the punishing class, doesn't play nicely with mistakes which lead to wipes > bad rep, etc. @willow fractal that's only a piece of it, but perception played a huge part

#

haha Levko, it woulda been a Top 10 storyline if at the end it turns out the Rogue was actually me from an alternate timeline

mellow quartz
#

Not a lot of people played prot either

uneven mason
mellow quartz
#

So people didn’t see them much

modern brook
#

Prot is also very unique in how it mitigates damage, outside of a proactive playstyle

#

ie: no armor steroids, very cooldown centric, our upkeep mitigation (ip) is sorta buns

sand egret
#

well mitigation weaving vs a singular souce

#

and that Block is a thing 😃

modern brook
#

so coming from ME STACK BONES THEN HEAL MANY! to planning your CD's around an encounter

ember arrow
#

@modern brook wtf

#

Are those hideous text lines

sand egret
#

yeah, that's way too many words for a bdk

modern brook
#

hoenstly still mad its blood and not bone dk

sand egret
#

then it'd be Bonedk

ember arrow
#

@sand egret funny you said that. Tjey just posted a much longer post on using death strike

sand egret
#

nice

modern brook
#

I read that post levko

#

Its 12 lines of "Maybe use DS when you take damage 🤷 "

ember arrow
#

Thats not really true. Its like you desc warr as

#

Use cd be4 dmg

modern brook
#

I mean

#

I do

#

but i like simplifying stuff

ember arrow
#

Well yes. But boiling it down like that isnt really what it was about

modern brook
#

there are like 0 instances in wow where absolutely maximizing something is better than just understanding the concept of what you're trying to do

#

not to say it doesnt improve throughput

uneven mason
#

BDK Is not the faceroll tank

#

lets not loose focus here

#

Monks are faceROLL

#

(literally)

#

BDK actually takes planning

#

but ou plan to be reactive

ember arrow
#

The legends were true

#

Someone in prot gets it

#

🙌

modern brook
#

planning to be reactive is definitely the college student solution tbh

ember arrow
#

Took a few months since bfa launched

uneven mason
#

Oh I've always gotten it

#

I just like Memeing at SKILLSTORM in M+

#

just like the BDK I raid with likes to MEME about my self healing

#

But there isn't a huge skill gap

ember arrow
#

sense ---> top dps

uneven mason
#

its just a different playstyle

#

Like, Prot is alien because all the other tanks are more or less a mix of proactive/reactive

#

while prot is just - think ahead or die.

sand egret
#

every other tank has 1 proactive and 1 reactive mitigation tool

uneven mason
#

rather our EHP is high enoug hnow its think ahead or OOM your healers

sand egret
#

prot has 2 proactives

uneven mason
#

yeah

#

we also have AM gaps

keen spire
#

I'd argue that LS is reactive though

uneven mason
#

while BDK/Monk do not

keen spire
#

So we at least have a reactive tool

#

in the kit

uneven mason
#

and VDH/Paladin ahve shorter gaps and reactive tools to deal with them

keen spire
#

but not our Active mit by any means

uneven mason
#

Key to prot - If you're doing it right, LS is proactive

keen spire
#

I mean yes

sand egret
#

you can use it reactively yeah, but specifically im talking about "AM" in the way blizz designs it

uneven mason
#

but yeah it can be reactive emergency

sand egret
#

in their terms, cooldowns are not am

keen spire
#

But it's got a reactive component

#

yeah

#

for sure

#

I agree 100%

sand egret
#

im talking about specifically is:
Pally: SotR and LotP (or is it Hand?)
DK: Boneshield and DS
DH: Demon Spikes and Soul Cleave
Bear: Ironfur and FR
Monk: Ironskin and Purify

keen spire
#

Time to reroll Guardian, boys

ember arrow
#

Bs isnt metigation

sand egret
#

lol

ember arrow
#

It gives no armor

#

Or almost none

sick sentinel
#

the core gameplay on almost all tanks is still “have something up before you get hit if you don’t want to die” it’s just that warrior doesn’t have anything reactive

sand egret
ember arrow
#

Yea 15% less

keen spire
#

Get rekt, Levko

sick sentinel
#

and I’d argue that prot has two proactive elements in both SB and IP

sand egret
#

that aint an argument

#

that's true

keen spire
#

^

sand egret
#

haha

keen spire
#

That's what Blade said

sand egret
#

we are unique that both are proactive

keen spire
#

Special snowtanks

sand egret
#

hahaha

sick sentinel
#

sure, but you can use IP reactively and you don’t usually need it to survive an EHP check

sand egret
#

i like that

#

IP compounds with SB

sick sentinel
#

yes

sand egret
#

it's meant to be used proactively

#

just like you can use Shield Wall reactively

sick sentinel
#

not arguing there

keen spire
#

IP being used reactively is not smart

uneven mason
#

@ember arrow I'd argue that even without the armor

keen spire
#

It's essentially useless in that regard

uneven mason
#

Boneshield is mitigation for BDK because 10% haste leads to higher volume of DS

sand egret
#

i'm speaking specifically from design pov that IP is meant to be proactive

uneven mason
#

👏

#

😜

keen spire
#

get double rekt, levko

worthy dagger
#

IP os OP

#

is*

uneven mason
#

i is

So secondary stats=metigation now?

@uneven mason

I'm a prot warrior

ITS ALL MITIGATIONS

You guys are dog

Now that we aren't the community underdog?

Fuck yeah

sand egret
#

looool

stuck oxide

Im also 8/8 mythic for a while now

keen spire
#

Get it, Atticus

sand egret
#

just a huge flood of Prot into BDK-dom "Yo, heard you guys are getting flack....and I missed that so I came over here"

keen spire
#

xD

oblique garnet
#

nah im just gonna reroll bear

uneven mason
#

@astral crystal I too will be going BDK

#

Because I always go underdog

sand egret
#

underbear

keen spire
#

yessss

#

Blade, you get me

#

xD

stuck oxide
#

BDK still best mythic + tank

sand egret
#

not after I get Preach to get a clickbait vvideo out saying they're trash so everyone will stop inviting them

keen spire
#

I think voidwalkers are the best mythic+ tank - Change My Mind

sand egret
#

they are plump

keen spire
#

Yo blade for real though, how do you like the bear vs. prot?

sand egret
#

Earth Elemental wins that

#

or the Tree Amigos

keen spire
#

Oh true

#

Earth Elemental is king

sand egret
#

uh, they're very diff but I like the change of pace

keen spire
#

You've changed my mind

#

Gold star

sand egret
#

my bear is also not nearly as geared yet so I'm still suffering the woes of that

keen spire
#

Do you fuck around with the other druid specs?

sand egret
#

i play feral randomly

keen spire
#

I've been considering rerolling to druid for this tier, just to change it up

#

I always play my prot warrior

sand egret
#

always was a fan of platespinning

#

druids are fun to me because when they can pull off a sick move, it's flashy as fuck

#

ursol's > typhoon > shift + Swiftmend

super gratifying to me

keen spire
#

Ah, the ol push'n'pull with the Shift'n'Swift

sand egret
#

or as @modern brook and I were talking earlier, catweaving is hella fun in raids

keen spire
#

Yeah, that versatility is the best part of druids

#

And if you're really good at it, you can totally do those flashy moves

sand egret
#

yeah, that fantasy part always jived with me

keen spire
#

Same

#

Druid was my first class ever

#

Way back in the day

#

lol

sand egret
#

im also a big fan of the werebear skin

keen spire
#

Yee

sand egret
#

which people have mixed opinions on

#

but I really dig it

keen spire
#

Dude I busted my ass to get that thing as soon as it was available

#

I think I tried like 300 times

sand egret
#

i literally made a druid in legion specifically to get the RBG tint

keen spire
#

at ilvl 860 or whatever

#

I don't remember the ilvl scale

sand egret
#

ended up doing it without any legendaries

keen spire
#

hell yeah

sand egret
#

felt so accomplished

keen spire
#

the #real challenge mode

sand egret
#

but yeah, as Prot you're no stranger to bad perception, but druid is very fun to play (personally speaking) and I wouldn't be surprised if bears get more buffs in the future to look forward to

keen spire
#

Yeah

#

Their 12% damage boost across the board was nice

#

and the feral buffs are 👌

sand egret
#

as a bear still stuck with a 345 weapon, yeah mate.

keen spire
#

hahaha

sand egret
#

but this is probably too much non-Prot talk

keen spire
#

Sure, sure

#

but the guardian discord is ass

#

xD

sand egret
#

you aint' wrong

modern brook
#

yeah bears are cool

#

Not cause of their rotation

keen spire
#

Prot discord is way cooler

modern brook
#

but because of the stuff

keen spire
#

So many chill peeps

modern brook
#

bear rotation is SNORE

keen spire
#

I'd argue that most "rotations" in general are pretty snore

modern brook
#

re: me getting pinged 😠

#

bears is particularly in that it doesnt change

keen spire
#

@modern brook We just missed you

sand egret
#

im honestly under the impression that if they made swipe and thrash not basically the same animation it would feel better. It's how I feel about TClap and Revenge

modern brook
#

at like 4-5+ you stop mangling

#

otherwise its just thrash on CD, procs as they come up

keen spire
#

Like, Fury warr's rotation is fun because it's fast af, but it's the same like 4 buttons over and over

sand egret
#

the half-second build up to stomp and revenge in the anim is 👌

keen spire
#

Beast Mastery is literally four buttons

modern brook
#

Nah its not simplicity its lack of variety

#

Regardless of scenario you will always be doing the same thing as bear

sand egret
#

i think it's lack of interactivity between abilities, personally

modern brook
#

regardless of active cds

#

etc

keen spire
#

I'd argue it's the same thing for both those examples I gave

modern brook
#

etc

#

nah

#

fury you change your spam priority based on Enrage uptime

keen spire
#

True, true

sand egret
#

at least were back on warriors 😃

modern brook
#

never played a hunter

keen spire
#

Don't

#

xD

modern brook
#

I cant do RDPS

keen spire
#

idk man hunters bore the fuck out of me

modern brook
#

ive considered playing surv

sand egret
#

i can only play MM cuz i cant stand pet classes

keen spire
#

@sand egret More like "at least we're not talking about BDK"

modern brook
#

but i know its only good in the content i want cause of OP traits i imagine will get nerfed come 815

#

so im waiting for that

keen spire
#

Survival is actually fun

#

I have to admit

#

I played most of the beta as a surv hunter

#

thought I'd main it

#

then I played prot warrior and was like nah

#

I'm playing my warrior

#

lol

sand egret
#

then the shield called

modern brook
#

im tryna clap

keen spire
#

yes.

#

to both.

#

Though, the last 3 weeks of raid, I've been Fury

sand egret
#

first char I leveled to 120 was my MM hunter. Think I did a warfront and was like....I want to play my warrior

keen spire
#

which has been a nice change of pace

#

LOL

#

Nice

#

MM was always my favorite spec for hunters

modern brook
#

dude

sand egret
#

only one ill play

modern brook
#

Prot Warfronts are BROKEN

keen spire
#

I played an infiltrator in Mass Effect

Nothing like entire voidlash hitting the guild because i ripped aggro

Take that, BDK.

My favorite point in events so far

But Jaina at least looks like an appropriately superhero, who needed no retcons for her Mary sueing

@modern brook jaina is only good for rule 34 content. Change my mind

uneven mason

Sylvanas on the other hand they've been like NO LOOK SHE"S BEEN A CARTOON VILLAN THE WHOLE TIME!

Orc != Horde

Dumb question: If I'm off tanking, should I be stacked on main tank (in certain boss fights, obvi) so that I can generate rage by being hit? Or is this too hard on the healers and I should just dps off to the side or stack on melee? I'm thinking in Uldir, I know there are certain fights where I need to not be stacked on main tank. But on bosses like Mother and Taloc, is there any benefit to stacking on MT?

even if we're the most important

@quartz lake no

on Mom and taloc if you're not MT you should be a DPS spec, imo

uneven mason
#

@quartz lake you don't generate rage by taking damage anymore

oblique garnet
#

When offtanking

uneven mason
#

Any "cleave" effects will probably kill you

keen spire
#

@quartz lake If you're in need of rage while you're not actively tanking, use dat intercept, bro

uneven mason
#

as they're generally tank busters

keen spire
#

But you shouldn't have rage gen problem with shield slam procs

#

if you're using all your buttons

uneven mason
#

Some fights you stack on the other tank

quartz lake
#

Okay thanks guys.

uneven mason
#

Vectis for example

modern brook
#

There are also 0 rage spenders when off tanking

uneven mason
#

because of space constraints

quartz lake
#

Yeah Vectis and Fetid

uneven mason
#

Fetid you do because you need to take hatefuls

"Thrash"

You should be using OT time to regen SB charges and pool rage for when u start

You can spend it on Revenge

If you want

"revenge it out"

Can this be a meme

can someone make this a meme

quartz lake
#

@uneven mason Are you sure about that? I think you generate rage by being hit with auto attacks (white damage)

uneven mason
#

continue to build rage, don't use SB when not being hit, before you taunt try to have ~80rage and a single stack of IP up

modern brook
#

Dude I'm the king of Prot memes

keen spire
#

someone do the photoshop

uneven mason
#

By auto attacks only

#

and its not based on damage taken

its a flat value (3 iirc) every time an auto hits you

its like, our 2nd smallest contributor to rage generation

keen spire

They changed it in BfA - rage from damage taken is not a thing

Every other rage generator trumps it

Ok Icy Veins is outdated then.
