My group was like yeah go back to your warrior when we did keys pre 8.1
Had to blow everything on a 5 pack
When i played dk
Have to use all runes on marrow
The ultimate betrayal
Feelsbad
Needless to say, my dk is now unholy
Lel
Or a blood dk herbalist for fast mount speed
The bdk in my guild rerolled dps before it was même
why did they even turn FDK into just DW
@daring marlin i needed an 2nd character for split runs and i fell asleep playing monk
shit's lame bro
Late
most iconic FDK=who? Arthas? did he DW?
Blizzard!!!! shakes fist
Youre not eu yamo
It was Legion. It's stupid.
Shhhhh
he no think 2 gud
Wotlk frost could dualwield as well
I mean, that's being classist, just because Arthas lived in the cold area of Minnesota, doesn't make him a frost DK
It was a choice between 2H and DW
Ill go undead furry
yep
watlk frost was amazeballs
Top tier
He casts defile, virulent plague and summons pets,
Swing animation
DW gave bonus damage while 2H gave more haste
fucking dude is Unholy
get outta here
🙆
member blood dps ? I member
I remember Dual wield frost tanks who were expertise capped
Wtf....McDonalds delivers
yeah
I remember 102% dodge chance rogues
now you can wonder if the people behind the counter AND the driver wiped snot in your McGreasesponge with cheese
Extra protein
its mostly salt
Didnt even have to pay for it

Gonna try to push out a couple 15s today
Then do a big push next week
Teeming tyrannical LMAOOOO
ahahahahahaha
I found replacements for my old group
goal isn't to beat the boards, goal is to beat the BDK in my guild who spent months talking shit
We gonna be blasting next week
who now gets 1 shot by raid bosses 👍
Next week could do triple/quad pulls
I think the most enjoyment I've had since 8.1 was though
Depending on interrupts
is our first time back in M Uldir
and the 2 big bertha's at the bottom of the stairs to Zek
he runs into them
and gets 1 shot
Prot is hawt baby.
Instagibbed is What happened
meanwhile I"m doing my nails while they've got 4 stacks of enrage and tanking bos
🛡
Not really
never had a problem with the bleed
have a problem with the thickgirls getting pulled and enraging everything
Like, the way not to get killed by a bleed...
its a secret, but I'll give you a hint https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/493563611269038100/526806138159759361/unknown.png
Not be in tank spec thus not getting aggro?
Nah, the secret is the fire in my eyes
the determination
DO YOU SEE IT
Kidding Zul bleed, really just takes the same thing for warriors as it does BDK - manage your resources use the right sequence of DRs
BDKs don't have a secret way to magically heal themselves for 100% of the bleeds damage, they've gotta roll CDs just like the rest of us
don't blow your load up front, work with the healers
or beg for a BoP
or bring a monk
I mean, thats the elite strat right "when your tank is bad, have them play monk"
Limits tanking strat
thats why its meme
Why do you think people say BDK is best for it, like for real?
Is it their insane health pool? or that the bleed ignores armor so their low armor doesn't matter?
Because vampiric blood is a better cooldown for DoTs
no its the fact they receive bonus healing dur Vamp blood same reason why Monks are strong for it (bonus healing)
I do play a BDK
I can't just slap Death strike
and laugh zul's bleed off
still have to manage my resources
still have to use CDs
fuck that
I mean, you can't heal yourself through the DOT when you go to drop it with Bonestorm 👍
cause then you'll be shitting in everyones shoes
As long as you're not being melee'd for 80k by Zul during it
ikr 😄
I mean, you can meme healing meters with it
let the healers carry that damage while snail legs run the slop out
the last 4 days i've had 2 1k APs, Gold, then 200 resources. Today is finally weapon cache
Why play bear when you can play prot though
Bear can not use
for 50%party
yeah i received the same
+++ stuff that ignores loot spec
Can shields titanforge?
not supposed to
is it me or is KR impossible to do on a prot warrior???
wtf is the damage on fortified
i was liteerally about to run ravager + crit on use trinkets to parry the berserker bleeds
KR is fine.
im just here to vent
I haven't had any issues.
you just taking all the bleeds for yourself like a selfish tank
Are you using personals during the bleeds?
spread the love
nah I only had 1 bleed everytime
its just that we had to pull very small since we're trying to manage bleeds and damage im taking
that's prob a healer/you thing
its just hard to time if we're not pulling bigger packs
nah I didnt die to the bleeds, its the fact that I cant take 2 stacks
so our pulls are literally garbage
Best way to deal with zerkers is to solo them out with cc, and if you can have pets (trees, water ele, imps, etc) eat the bleeds for you. You can also chain stun before they re-apply
so it doesn't apply 2
We got Assault in 10 minutes in EU Pog
can also delay them casting it by rooting their leap
brm doesn't slide under prot for the win
if you have classes with root
the cast is 6 seconds into the pull i believe
cuz their pet gets SHREDDED
or 8, not sure
I run with a demo lock all the time. It’s like having an army of bleed targets.
You just have to tell your melee to not be retarded
Im supposed to go with haste enchants right?
@valid needle yes
Demo warlock is absolutely horrifying they cant take interrupt pets because they lose so much damage its not worth it
They get plenty of6stuns though
Yeah sûre
or it's because im a warrior?
It's the .io
Why take “enough” when you know you can get more
is there a such thing as protection open word pvp spec?
My alt dk is 367 I’m also getting massive declines on +7’s. I think there are just a lot of tanks available with higher item levels
why wouldsomeone with 370 do 7+?
When I make groups a lot of 370’s apply....
it's a new alt
was trying to tank
For low keys, people are just gearing faster but don’t mean they got the nerve for higher keys
Yeah anything for 1-9
You need io
That shows you've at least done the same level of key
So you have to complete basically all of them in order
To get invited
Finish all the dungeons on +2
Then finish them all on +3
Etc.
No way you have to do that lol
Unless you have a group of people that will take you instantly
Yeah
You have to do that
People wont invite you
Because the io addon shows how many dungeons you've completed and at what level
if youre a tank people will invite you
/clap
I have tank alts like my DH that I’ve never done a key on half the dungeons and I get into 6-9 easily
Don’t just make shit up
lol
Lmao
Yamo tank m+ for my horde warrior
Im not making shit up
I need the gearz
idk ive never had that experience
Lmaoooo
lol.
Yeah do every key at every level like a mongoloid
I’ll take people who have actually done tge dungeons over inflated ilvl derps
Im giving solid advise that will guarantee invites and you're over here shitting on the advice
Take your salt somewhere else
Because you are making shit up
Just because you're a one off that gets invites lol
It’s not salt when you are just chatting bullshit
Ahahahahaha
But ok
But ok
idk ive always gotten invites on my warrior
I’ve always gotten invites on all 6 of my tanks
im actually surprised you dont as a tank
Even if I’ve only done 3-4 dungeons on them
Good for you :)
Pugs are a crap shoot and you know it
if you time more of your keys theyll probs think youre competent and youll get an invite
no meme
Exactly
Sure, time some keys
Dudes over here like, I ALWAYS get invited
But doing every level from 2-whatever of every dungeon
What about the new people with zero score
Complete bullshit
Bet they'll autimatically get invited too
I have tanks that have 200-300 score and I’ve been invited to 10s
It ok to admit you just made shit up
There are nuisances to getting your score up, but I don't think you understand how that works
i would never invite anyone under 500 to a 10 lmao
But don’t steer new players wrong cause you want to do it
Yamorino, you are right, but as long as you aren’t a fresh 350 tank, you should be able to start your grind in the 4-6+ range easily. Especially on easier affix weeks
@rocky ledge of course
Not +2
just link your character to your main, and time some keys on your main
I started by giving the example of "the grind"
It wasn't a solidified you HAVE to start at 2
And go all the way up
Literally what you said
I was talking about the trend of grinding out each level
Holy shit....
wat
If he does he’s being disingenuous
He literally thought I was saying EVERYONE should start at 2 and do one by one
Anger Management
He’s a Ravager boi. No AM
@main vault You said you get invited on alts with super low scores. Do you not have your main linked? Alternatively, do you not mention you have a main with a higher score?
Because I call bullshit if you say no.
I was simply stating the way I started getting invites, but I guess it's different now that the expansion has been out for a bit. Early on, no one had score, no had the gear, had to grind out each level starting at 2. Now we can skip up a bit due to experience and lucky alt gearing, but the concept still holds. Start at keys that guarantee invite and start grinding out score...is basically what I was saying
It’s also infinitely faster to do something like 4-6 and chest every dung then look for 8-10 keys with a 200 score
ooo ya'll are spicy today
Let's not get too heated over this, no?
I'm not sure people are taking into consideration that their mains io score shows up too?
Only if you link them, as you should.
Nah it shows in the add-on when you hover over
Only if you have an acct with all your characters linked
Main score only shows if you link and select your main
^
I think that most people do this that want to get invited?
I mean its a good plan
if you have a higher IO on your main
most folks will take you
Sure. As I said, they should do it.
Just not on by default
is that you can have over 1000 IO and its just failed 11s that you bought
completion #s on the key levels i"m doing
is key
If you don't have the experience (io score) why would people invite you over people with the experience
That's a different question really
In most cases, you get the score by running from the bottom (bottom being a relative term), and working your way up.
but I'm a filthy casual
^^
knowing the dungeons far more important than item lvel
that dude with all 3chest in +7s
Ex. I only have an 1100 score. If I wanted to push higher, I'd start plugging a bunch of 10s, find people I like to play with and trust, and work our way up.
probably going to do better than the guy with a bunch of failed 10s
You definitely can be “that guy” that gets carried 1-2x a week by guildies for your +10 cache and end up with a decent score. Put that same person in a pug and they play at a 300io level. This happens less as a tank though, since you have to actually pull.
If you have a 600 score, then you obviously have to start a bit lower.
Lol mac
No shame @uneven mason
If you're 360 and a tank, most people won't take you to a +10 since you're a potential liability
Esp since you're a tank
That's just a fact of pugs
Start lower and work your way up
Unless it’s your key
I honestly feel the best way to build score is run YOUR key up
Well, that's different
^^
But yes
That you got as an arms warrior and then decided to tank because you are a terrible human being
had one of those
dudes in a +9 "First time tanking"
whelp glad I'm guardian affinity on my resto druid
as someone who only pugged this expac, running your own key up is so important
Dream big, live big
but tbh I didn't mind, I got to give Prot coaching in real time
he didn't get mad once
Making the world a better place - one flipperhanded chimp at a time.
He’s 386 and has run the dung before with a 2h weapon. He will be fine with a shield. (Pulls 3 packs and falls over)... “this healer is shit!”
I don’t believe you. Someone receptive to constructive criticism on the internets? Fake news
lol GiBB3D its funny because its true
Rofl
I pull packs in 10s .. healer DCs and I don’t even notice sometimes for a couple mins.
I wanna get into prot tanking, game just isn't giving me any shield or 1h weapon.
14 hydrocores from my last atal runs 😂
But I pug everything. 75% of the time. I’m used to being self-sufficient
@marble cipher time to run 14 more
buy the 340 crafted?
Atal is by far the best dungeon
literally can craft 340 1h and shields now
Even at 10+ farming
@primal crypt Aye, that's what I'm doing. As fury.
loot drops from Atal are myth
^^
I've spent I think half my coins in that place
trying to get warforged shields
The first 500 conquest gives weapon. 345 I think. Might give shield option but 1h for sure
I've never seen a shield
yup
They're so rare
I RNGd 395 legs from Taloc :>
Ive seen the shield twice now
Yeah, I kinda misplaced that conquest one hander... Might use restore for it.
gotten 380 weapon and shielf from AD, no rezan or legs yet
@sick sentinel yeah i just got 395 from taloc as well!
fuck off yamo
Soz
and coined 385 weapon from Mythrax
TFW you get a 385 socketed 2h off of Taloc because you forgot to swap loot spec back the first time you killed him
I got one at 390, and my offhand for fury is 350 😂
😂
Just spam AD, TD, and maybe Motherload. Do every key you think you can chest for more gear chance. Doesn’t have to be a 10 till you get a drop.
oh god
Zero interrupts
Hunters (both types) On the sapper and mastermind slogs
Toxic blades everywhere
I'm doing 8's and 9's, as they hardly ever take me for 10's at Rio 700
getting frozen is the least of the problems
getting frozen is a good laugh
Demon hunter in momentum build on the mastermind corridor
people running like headless chickens, pulling trash from other dimensions is the problem
Yikes
just rip your key now
@uneven mason LMAO
I death run that shit
somehow pulls the first four packs the moment the cart gets to the bottom
because its the only way
+++
yeah
but on teeming weeks
that last mastermind pack
if I can't deathrun it
Literally people leap out of the cart and start running side to side
I'll blow bloodlust
Dont realize they pulled everything
RIP eng ress pylons
Soulstone hands down yeah
At the end?
Yup
To skip very last pack
Just have to position really well
But it still works
Yeah. Thought they woulda fixed after the AD changes
Me too
I've never done that pack anyway, never will I voluntarily do the last trash bit in ML
But full death run is still better
Have to be careful on fort though
Ive been clearing the front two adds and death running after that
You actually can still portal into AD if you go to the far side by the water, but you can’t take the portal out and it sucks to setup.
^
Ez
cause thatsa RIP
In AD I just death skip that pack by pulling them away and dying.
Save 4 brez for last boss 4hed
not getting hit by gatling gun is harder than it seems apperntly
I gave a guildie shit for that once
and they were like "WE DONT ALL HAVE LEAP"
Yeah Shin. I’ve been doing that since they changed AD.
People are stuck running in circles lol
I often run with lock/mage/DH so no shroud for that pull.
you expect me to stand in melee of the boss!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!???????
Run through, problem solved
Yeah, my casters are always in africa
I dont get that
had a druid who was QQing about it as well (Boomkin)
omega
I was like are you specced into feral charge?
Says it's impossible to dodge gatling
jump - spin - disengage
"Gatling shouldn't be a mechanic "
was a foreign concept
Yamo they are in Africa running the rocket out and don’t use mobility to get back in.
For the fun
they use mobility out
Gun*
like I watch mages use blink to run out
@rocky ledge noooooo, they bring the rocket into the group and run out for gatling
and thne die to gatling or blow iceblock
you can out run the rocket
on foot
blink back in to avoid the shit that WILL kill you
My casters always share the rocket bomb buff with the group
Mages can blink Through the gun spin. So dumb
Its great
Watch Jdotb do that boss. He waddles his fat bear ass out, eats bomb, and wild charges back in. Pro
Warlocks have 2 instant transport options
yeah
he's one of the go toes I suggest people watch
he's on my server 👍
I applied to his guild
they sent me a "Bless your heart" card in the mail
Haha
Rofl
Makes sense. They only seen you play it!!! Buuuuurn
I don't get benched, as I main BrM 😜
They hadn't though outside of HC and in HC I was doing better than the paladin 😄
finally let me in to Mythic and healers are like "Did they buff prot?"
I’m sure. I haven’t done any raiding on my warrior. I main MW in mythic
Can’t get myself to just pug heroic Uldir
I usually get to Zul before shit hits the fan
yeah I joined "mostly guild run, need a few due to holidays"
and their members were doing like 12k DPS
which is fine on Taloc and Mother
because
I felt like a god on H Zek. I was even taking the BrM 2nd healing debuff and soloing all 3 hits on mine. Still took less overall
Lazy BrM then, he should just soak entire combo's easily
What you mean
yeah BrM can take entire combos
We're top tier
they endup at 1HP
Over dks now

and then we'll get nerfed
Streamers been played us
We're viable, and leave it at that..

Even made deswind go prot lmao
He kept freaking out over the 1hp thing. So I just use SR and taunted early
Stop saying we are good or we get Emerald Nightmared.... again
And deswind is strictly dps
It was back up again easily when I needed it
Emerald nightmare was when I played arms
Had no idea how strong they were
Got the nerf bat and cried
Lepan playing prot isn’t that good to watch. He runs out of SB all the time and has to run around.
Not sure why, didn’t watch Long
Lepan is a terrible prot
yeah actually thinking of it
Even he admitted it
and we'll get buffed again
That's cause they all played dk, the tank that plays itself....
He's used to kiting a lot
Tell sense to stop showing our power
BDK you still have to manage resources
Monk still needs healing
Because bdk you kite for cd reset
Sense doesnt stream enough
healers plays monk for you
you pull build up, bonestorm for aggro
And he streams at like 2am EST
drop D&D for snare and run
i want to watch his gleaming bald head
Yeah, I don't like the dk game play all that much
Perfect. Now he just had to hide is YT vids from blizzard.
@shut summit can you stream earlier plz thanks
You can watch his vods Yam
Gleaming Bald Head ? You mean Reflective Plating ? Kappa
But then I cant get live commentary to my comments on stream
True.
He just laughs
Yeah
The jokes bolster me at work.
well it's a bolstering week
You guys ever check your damage taken after a run? I was so proud of myself the other day. Tanked a +11 AD, 2 chested it. Took only 6k dtps for the run.
Was insane.
I had like 65% effective block for the run and still did like 11k dps overall
With bad traits
@primal crypt 12hour work days + people who don't want to push as much make it rough 🙁
Ye
most over 11 can't be awful right?
Ahhhhhh sense is here :)
Minus the egos.
That's Sense"i"
@crystal creek ahh they can fam
did a pug 10 TUR for fun yesterday, lead invited almost everyone 1400 io... Rdruid was annoyed that we didn't 3 chest it but he didn't do kitty dots for the entire run
(we 2 chested)
did you minus the dkp due to lack of dots.
Which one
and you're not doing dps
Druid?
rdruid yeah
Don't they at least have moonfire or something.
Why they always gotta be talking shit
naw man they go cat and spread bleed aids
UR is so easy without teeming man
granted you have interrupts for the casters before 3rd boss
that'll be fun.
ez week
Its just those two
This week isn't too bad either
Unless you accidently 7 bolster a rat
yea
In FH
thank god they move slow
i was like what the fuck happened here
By like 9
Took us 5min to kill the rat
she had 4m hp
@daring marlin LMAOOOOOOOOO
Dogs in the courtyard
yeah of course
Doggos die fast
you can't CC those rats right?
And of the like
for the rats?
Wat???
the big rat in fh
oh i meant the dogs
Banish rat??
?!
Lmaoo
wait what
the fuck kinda rats you dealin with
The rats nim
why would you cc the rats, just single target the dude
The little ones die to TC
not the answer to the question
wait i thought you meant a rat critter
And 7 bolster
can you cc them
@sand egret yeah, blind
the big one
cause i deffo saw a rat critter get infected for some reason
oh....
i think it was this week too
Blind and I think incap
the bridge boss
yeah there's a critter than can spawn with infected on the bridge to Harlan
Shoot out the stick to the floor traps
yeah thats the one blade
Its not there this week
ripped my key a while back
its a fucking trap critter
fuck no, i pull to bridge
Yeah, taunt onto bridge
and he's got the most kills out of all the critters in WoW
he's up there with the random squirrels gibbing duelets outside of elwyenn
wow I can't type today
But yeah, I blind big rats
Trevor is a sneaky bastard
And pull the little ones usually
ook so they are CC'able
i mean
First hit brought me down to like 20%
holy shit wtf is with this game giving me a ToS key every other time
i did get it 7 bolstered, but it was so low it died fast
breaking blind though... yikes
fucking traps one shotting people lol
i fucking hate those dumbass traps when i have 2 melee
which is always
lol
i carefully move away from traps, random fucking melee gets stuck "HEY MAN, WHY ARE YOU MOVING THE RAT"
rofl
that's how you get a triple kill from a single shot 😃
see, i like to walk into traps then pop avatar while staring at my melee, just to assert dominance.
Kept saying spread, spread, spread. .
Question
For the rat traps
Is it set the moment they start casting?
Or after they've thrown the traps
on cast i think
but im not sure
Ill test tonight
so dont quote me
i have fun being prot and i laughed all the times when dps pulled extra then i let them tank it
You're losing personal dps
Only thing you have is your booty claps
You should clap that ass
Then if you die and the group wipes, tell them not to pull extra 😂
But until then, clap them cheeks boiiii
thunder clap ain't strong enough for threat geneation
What?
wut.
must be trolling
dis is gonna be gud
i gotta say i had fun in KR yesterday when my dumb ass brother chain pulled slimes
also fun when he pops cocoon on my while i have wall up
on zul
oh
sorry
go on..
Nvm, I think he's gone :(
ah 😦
You dont chain pull slimes?
yeah awesome job dumbass brother having 8 bolstered slimes
Oh.....

he did it again before first boss in shrine too lol
Rysdan is typing....
then the entire group yelled at him and he stopped
I know keep thunder clap on cd and even with Avater(spelling?). But Avater on CD, Dps keep chain pulling and my TC and herioc leap on cd. I bet Dps don't tank's cd.
whats your ilvl
Need to swap targets and shield slam
and your dps ilvl?
Revenge as well
ah Revenge... i forgot that
you shouldnt lose agro with Avatar up
if you do, your dps might have better gear maybe
@spare hinge Why you ignore Protection's utility
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/148897941883584512/517901074724552705/unknown.png
^^^
Lololol
and even then yamo is right, you sometimes might have to tab to low threat targets and slam them
What's your talent set up look like rysdan?
same from icy
you got DC?
Yeah, do you have deafening crash trait?
and Booming Voice is important too
that means you have to demo while pulling to do more dps/threat
Oooooo
Group of people might be down for keys tonight
Starting on 15s
And bricking them down slowly
Intercept -> Avatar -> TClap -> Demo Shout -> Tclap -> blah -> Tclap and so on
you should't lose agro that way
Shield slams spread around
yep
Or even just revenge
Tc, revenge
Ez clap
Last stand so you dont even block
Just mongo clap revenge spam
i gotta run alts today
I'm going to try really hard today
To get points
And break 1500
Even if i land on 1500 exactly
I'll be happy
is DC still mandatory to tank with?
@next goblet yas
pretty much
dammit
I must say I'm salty af 14 KR, 15Shrine, back to 14 and is motherfocking KR again
i hate having shitter shoulders lol
Dc is only worth about 30 ilvl now
KR isn't hard with Bolstering though
I gambled and got cthraxxi's first try with residuum /whistle.
If that helps any
noooo why would you use residuum now Carahdras 😦
I used mine too
Because I had ZERO DC.
For 390 chest
and 160 residuum won't be jack in a month
Use the residuum now since theyre going to up the amount you receive in January
Don't know how the shitter fell down in the council boss
lol
Barely made it with 10 secs left
let me guess, no interrupts for poison nova?
I was so focking Reeeeeeee
Wish I was the GM of my clan
I would rename it no huntard allowed
Specially Be huntards
I love hunters
ok ill save
I hate hunters since the basterds ruined every Supression Room Run in BWL
Might be bad luck
Might be bias
oh you mean TURN OFF ASPECT MORONS
But usually every fuck up has a hunter to blame it for
Fact
Damn all of them flurry degenerates
Sorry for the salt
Alas LFM KR 14 lol
i have shoulders that are 25ilvl higher than my DC ones... but have fucking bloodsport
use DC though
👏
That means it's time to go home and do mystical pluses!

Tickle plus
