the leech could be reverted to the old value
when they nerfed the leech and buffed the absorb
but like for example dh has 3 good traits they want 1 of if possible, rest are meh
pala has 2 good ones
dk lol spec traits what's that
monk has some decent ones but they're just not as impactful as warr's
bear idk but who cares about bear
is bear somehow playable in 8.1?
That's why I don't understand when people say that Azerite traits are not impactful to the gameplay... Guess it's a warr thing
they only got a utility and dps buff
The issue is blizzard don't understand the shit they'll unleash with double traits (some dps combos are fucked) and there's going to be huge sweeping mega nerfs in panick before mythic hits
Calling it now
Bears are fine for raids but shit for m+
even in raid
dispell kicking you out of bear form is retarded
bear feels like a shittier pala
DK traits overall are shit
tbh for next raid it's monk > warr = bear = pala > DK > DH
UH has 1 good one for ST but UH is awful overall, frost has bad traits for ST and blood traits are a joke
bear definately behind
DHs are just sad
and i'd say warr ahead of pala by a decent margin too
the definition of a paper tank without spikes up
I leveled up mine but not really planning playing veng
yeh DH has nothing going for them atm, every other tank can fill their niche except the high personal movement
but they got an accidental nerf for m+ which was sad
(last resort not resetting on death)
Veng was fun in Legion but they fucked up the rotation
but honestly they're not as bad as people think they are in raid defensively
fiery brand which is utter shit in m+
i mean the balance is pretty good atm
ppl talk about good and bad but its a 5% range or close to
yea but it's scary looking at their armor without spikes
i'd say the gap between warr+monk and bear is big tbh
i laugh at the more than 2x difference in armour between my warr and my dk
my co tank is a bear D:
bear was comparable to warr back at the start of 8.0
look how many buffs warr got
and look how many defensive buffs bear got
that's right
0
at least I'm not ripping aggro off our bear tank just by existing
I've been ripping aggro since Nighthold /sad
anyway i'd rank it something like monk > warr > pala for raid
not 100% sure how i'd rank the last 3 between them
but def behind these
depends on boss i guess
if you get a fetid for example
Very good warrior is allways gonna be #2 tbh
dh can actually handle it well and dk get crushed
since monks are retard proof even if you afk
Monk will continue to be at the top for dazaralor
Still the best
warr is broken when there is some blockable tank buster
not huge but it'll be noticeable on something where healers might struggle mana wise
Monk nerfs mean nothing tbf
like Felclaws of Argus scythe
everything is blockable in atal basically
that's why warr is so good there
why did i say atal
i meant
the raid
and the fact you can bet 3x bfi
yeah
I can get DC + 3x bfi + IF + bloodsport from raid
well I have 35% on G'huun now
base
and 51% from armor
I guess that will be roughly the same in BoD
with comparable gear ofc
should be comparable yes
Jaina's main ability from what i understand is a frostbolt which is a ranged physical as stated in the dungeon journal
so warriors are gonna be extremely good for that boss
lulz
well monks still take damage from stagger
yes but if you can survive well as warrior you will take them for the extra dps over monk
so more healer friendly on warr
yea that too
probably not dodgeable yes, would be op if it was
yes a lot more healer friendly on warr
might just see 2x warrior on jaina and abusing safeguard to split damage
max was talking about how good safe guard was for BoD
just pray we don't get Emerald Nightmared :<
I used it of fetid
yeh you dont need the other 2 talents in raid
specially since you don't have to trade in leech for it anymore
since I was taking the thrashes
honestly, we have a lot of interesting talents but Anger Management just locks us into one setup
but tbh I totally see a damage nerf coming for warrs
might not right away though
*maybe
yeah no doubt theyre getting nerfs next raid tier
yeh i can see a damage decrease happening
with 5 BoM, we're 100% getting nerfed
xd
don't thing there will be 3rd spec ring next raid tho
yeh
even now going to 2 rings just makes old gear redundant
which isnt a good thing
is filthy transfusion good in m+?
good damage
sweet ty'
Its limited to only ST tho
A stat buff like Swirling sands would be better if u have it available
its still a decent amount of damage on aoe situations despite not scaling with targets
went with bastion instead
even though its a 375 not 390
also is laser matrix bad for prot?
Dont drop ilvl for anything but DC
what is the class trait on the 390?
filthy trans
iron fort
but bastion 😦
how's fortress offensive btw? i assume pretty decent
ik defensive it's a slightly worse BfI
1x IF is like 1-2% in m+
But I haven't run it in forever
So it might be higher
I'm sticking to 2x archive 1x DC for now, or 1x BfI 1x Dc 1x archive
Is this trinket any good (to pair with alch stone probably)
What are your other options?
Syringe, which I don't guess is anything good
For prot I mean
And that's it, for now 😄
Still "farming" rezan
syringe ilvl?
ilvl pls
370
I think id go Vial over Syringe
take the feather
The CD lines up nicely with Avatar
Don't have Vial though 🤔
oh i thought it was lol
😄
Guess the feather lines up with avatar as well, if enough rage is spent
lines up with CDs for pala too, still sims like utter garbage
world boss feather trinket?
Im not a fan of Syringe in dungeons, it can proc on a bad target and u get no value
I play with 385 Knot and 385 Disc, both with socket
Think I got that feather from a tortollan emissary, so it's a world quest trinket I guess
385 syringe / 390 lions strength here
i think the wq trinkets are pretty underbudgeted
it'll still most likely proc on your main target
all the crit 😂
since you have more damage events on them
What is the optimal traits for M+? DC BoM Archive?
Yes.
Thanks now i can prove Execuite wrong
Why aren't people pushing this week :(
Why do team members have to be busy with IRL
IT MAKES NO SENSE
Ppl that dont push this week are big dumbo
Get ur 15s this week then do temple next week
People dont understand and it makes me sad
This is the last push week before the season is done :/
Ree
How often do Hexers spawn on Zul?
Idk when the firsr spawn
But i know the second cast is at 1:55
Then they spawn like 15 sec after
missing BoM on a 385 azerite
gambling 385 shoulders
getting BoM trait
it's a good day
Is ghuun mythic tank damage mainly physical?
Just remember to spell reflect malignant growth
Lol
That’s such a niche thing to do imo
Unless your guild is executing p3 flawlessly
There’s such a huge margin for error
Best way to learn how to tank Dungeons is pug like a champ
Yeah learn by doing
And turn your soft skin in stainless steel by every fuck up
And of course read up as much as you can
But nothing will@beat knowing what you can and can’t do by trying it
Can’t be afraid of key depletion
Imo the best trait any tank can have is experience
Joke aside it kind of does =P
You end up trusting your guts every pull in order to know how much you can handle
yeh its all about experience and learning it
In Legion sure..now you gotta trust your DPS to interrupt and your healer not to be a mong.
😂
Guys what are the best middle-ring traits? Icy veins guide says gutripper and other damage oriented traits are bad, but I don't think the defensive options in that ring are that good..
Blame healer if it goes bad
I mean that’s why I’m asking we currently have a monk / blood dk tanking it were wiping at 9% would replacing a 385 dk with 375-380 war be worth it
No
luca what are your options
Fuck a prot warrior is a dos in mythic +
Mhm
And check that Google document
Can't link it now
Off how many things you can block and Reflect
@willow lotus in this specific case it's between Gutripper and Crystalline Carapace, on icy veins it says carapace is good while gutripper is not, but gutripper always deals a nice % of my damage on my Blood dk
A prot that does good reflects is the version of a parrying God in Dark Souls
What’s the cd on SR? I don’t play war but I’m raid leading so I try to know every class and what’s best
For M+ I’d go with Carapace
Which inner traits would you take (for dungeons), I'm leaning towards Heed My Call and Vamp Speed, but, not sure
hm, true, bulwark will trigger a lot more this week
Also, is Bury the Hatchet any good? You need to get the killing blow right?
wouldnt pick it ever
unless its like the heal at 10 yard range thing which is awful as the other option
yeh exactly
literally pointless
only really play melee but i guess self reliance is actually good for ranged on some bosses
like for ghuun last phase
dunno how substantial the heal actually is tho
it's ridiculously small tbf
1250 every 3 seconds at 390 and i assumes stats change that, definitely worse than resounding or impassive
The only plate it might be good for is a holy pally, shouldn't even be on plate imo.
Exactly, worthless trait on plate.
self-reliance is actually a really good trait for ranged tbh
just...
not melee including tanks
but even holy pala its bad, they're pretty much melee
its lower hps than impassive tho assuming you are hit every 6 seconds
even then, if you arent taking damage it does nothing for you so impassive is always better
but atleast it isnt useless for ranged
yup
You can make anything on that tier work in M+, its more or less down to personal preference.
k, yeah, thought as much
I prefer Bounding Stride for most situations, Safeguard works for helping group members during some hard dungeons (I like it in high keys on Tyrannical weeks, for example), CT is useful for just hitting shit sooner.
yo , how good is Ancient's bulwark for us ? (that's the leaf trait from Darkshore)
havent tried but doesnt look great
https://www.wowhead.com/item=166578/wardenguards-breastplate&bonus=1507:5124&azerite-powers=1
vs
https://www.wowhead.com/item=159432/breastplate-of-arterial-protection&bonus=1562:4817&azerite-powers=1
both 390
This blue plate armor of item level 355 goes in the "Chest" slot. It is looted from Madfeather. Added in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.
dont count 5th tier ofc ;d
maybe first with iron fortress
oh wait it has a useless T3
actually nvm it's the other that does i'm silly
yeah i'd take the first
it also has 2 good T2 options, 1 defensive and 1 for damage
Anyone know if there's something similar to RA planned for BoD raid?
IIRC, they said there won't be
But things may have changed since then, I haven't checked
Ya info is pretty scarce and I don't remember seeing anything about it
I'll try and dig up my source
But it may take some time with my phone
Welp, can't seem to find it. I'll try again tonight at home
That being said, the main argument was that nothing resembling AR was found or datamined (yet)
Maybe there will be a "gradual nerf" mechanic like AR was, but it may be in another form
Crackling thunder is good when kiting
can clap people from a good distance to keep damage input up
if you are ever in a situation you need to kite
also would maybe go blood rite + azerite veins @prime kernel
Probably not much difference between that and iron fortress + heed
the iron fortress one actually has a T3 though
vamp speed is better than people give it credit for
Don't DH's get resources from interrupting?
Pugs :-(
That's overall on an atal 11
Yikes
That's the thing with DH's. You either get real good ones, or shitters who took it because it's the easiest 120 to lvl from start.
^
Got chain feared on a double bird pull cause they just did not interrupt...
Ah well, at least I got some tanking practice 🤷
or AoE stun..
Lol, true, they have that too
AoE stun is a DPS loss though 
whats the best race on horde for a prot war
They're all good
Highmountain is my preferred
Belf is good for m+
Orc is great for pvp due to stun duration racial
Tauren is good for herbing
Panda is good for best food buff
Undead looks really cool in mogs
Racials aren't really that impactful. They aren't going to really save you in any given situation.
In any given situation, a death is going to be avoided by either playing better or something else along those lines.
If Bull Rush would've "saved" you, you fucked up earlier, be it pulling too much, playing badly (ex. Wasting SB charges while LS is active), etc, etc.
Some racials are more impactful than others (ex. Arcane Torrent in M+), but none of them are necessary or "the best".
Race choice is all about how good they look in plate mogs
undead all the way
Orcs, NB, or BEs, no other choices tbh.
undead looks absolutely terrible
undead prot war is fine
I agree with sal, elfs and orc
leveling a mag'har fem orc
@hollow thorn this man knows the truth
but as racials go belf and nelf for sure are best
specially if multiple people in your run are nelf
can do cheesy stuff
yup
That's right. Better recognize Alliance superiority!
#MakeEscapePlanGreatAgain
escape plan? isn't that the fugly midget racial?
Are you using more haste/mastery pieces too?
It's the new toy that got nerfed before it was even live.
385 knot
rings etc, haste/vers?
haste crit and haste vers rings
ilvl for every piece, I don't get much of a choice in there
weapon is still 370+s tho
more claps during avatar
mastery gives attack power
I thought the toy had been live for a while? Thought people just didn't know about it.
when I press avatar I get 1625 mastery, and that is 34% more attack power
scales better than vers and worse than crit afaik
Mastery is def good
it's hard to say 100% for prot warr because no sims but for most other tanks it's generally the last for dps
Triple bom is a want
and mastery does the same for all offensively
bom could have any other stat and it'd still be good
bunch of stats during avatar? hell yes
Usually the argument isnt great for a stat based on how it is for other classes
mastery offensively does exactly the same for every tank
so, at least relatively to main stat and versa, it has the same value for all
crit and haste are obviously a bit more complicated to judge like that
Does ignore pain mitigate bleed damage, like on berserkers in kr?
Just making sure, I keep hearing how awful prot is for bleed damage so I started wondering.
I guess people are saying that because of the lack of self healing?
most tanks are terrible at bleeds
That's what I thought, which is why i thought maybe there was something I wasn't understanding.
warr is not that bad imo because IP does a little and it has the most CDs
True. I guess we're just missing an immunity like pal or insane self healing so people drum it up like it's the end of the world.
pala only handles bleeds better if they're not very often 😛
I know lol, I main one. Loving warrior so far. Not really understanding the hate. Thanks for info man
What does 3x bom mean?
Triple Bastion of Might traits
I tought brace snd deafening was the go to traits 😮
BoM is a dps trait for dungeons, aoe dps that is
For raids you don't want it, afaik
On a scale of 1 to 10 how retarded is x3 DC on a Mythic+
Anything over 1 doesn't add to the shout, just alittle dmg. More BoMs would give better dmg.
Just saw a prot tank running a +12 with those and the healer collapsed lol
with 3 DC's?
Yeah pretty sick
in a bad way ofc
I was laughing hard but we managed to finish it, healer was dope
Ya, only need 1 and obviously take booming voice talent.
if he didn't have better options it's fine, should be good damage at least
Yeah, i heard x1 DC + x2 BoM is pretty awesome atm for m++
It'll smash for sure.
While still giving some nice defense.
Well, damage reduction, if you consider that defense.
triple BoM is life man
Maybe I'll get lucky with some with BfD, I only have 1.
Is there a way to sim prot warrior or something like a table where we can check sims of our dmg traits?
there is no working sims for prot warriors
btw, you will have to be 7/9 mythic to have triple 420 BoM from just dazar alor azerite
so you get BoM head and chest from the first 3 bosses and then you buy shoulders from the vendor 😛
Running a dps trait setup like this atm: x1 DC + x2 Archive
Is it worth dropping one of those archives for a BoM?
Thanks Shenko
More dungeon dependant rather than prot
I have good results with a disc friend (good comms tho) and i've been having good runs with mw monks too
Rdruid/mw are the strongest imo
Copy that
But to push above 10s any class is good
^^^ unless you’re pushing high keys you can bring a resto shaman or whatever
I’m running 390 BFI, 390 BoM, and 375 DC, but I could run a 390 Bloodsport in its place.
Dunno if I should give up DC tho
I have 390 vial that I use for bigger clap deeps which makes the leech window good
Yeah I have good luck running either tbh
hey guys are there any tips for mythic Vectis for Prot warrior?
Kill him before he kills you
if you get omega vector and spell reflect right before it expires you don't get a stack of lingering infection
^ This feels so good, lol. Like I'm getting away with something.
560 ish
Cool thanks. I think my fury chest has it, but I'm prot main.
Hello quick M+ question i have 1 trait of dafening crash, should i pair with blood sport x2 or iron fortress x2 forbest results?
560, good lord.
@dusk locust I thought they fixed the vector reflect thing. Could have sworn I saw that on here a few weeks back but I haven't done Vectis in a month
they didnt
i'm going to see it again tues tho. also would it be super unwise to use the ghuun spell reflect trick in p3 for our rekill
would rather not have our CE erased or something lol
One question if you folks don't mind. I can't seem to find the answer on icy veins nor the guides in the discord so I'm wondering, is it worth equiping a shield that's a 5 ivl uppgrade if my current shield has a socket?
Always go ilvl on a shield due to the armor and block of the higher ilvl.
Least that has been my philosophy.
Think so too, but I'm not sure enough
Shield ilevel upgrades are always upgrades, no matter the stats.
Or socket in this case.
Thanks for the answers, much appreciated ^^
Is the ghuun spell reflect thing patched yet?
Gm is telling me to reflect all the things
Pretty sure it's not patched
tbh it feels a little exploity
Wasn't patched last night
you can only reflect one
if you get hit by more
the damage of the others will affect you
i dunno that clip that was posted he was skystep potting and running through a bunch
If it's not patched, it's not consuming the reflect, but reflects all of them
and blasted ghuun for like 1% of his health
I did 2.24mil to ghuun over P3
hey, how much haste% is considered "enough, time to go for other stats" ? I have 24% without Into The Fray kicking in
clip? you have a clip of someone doing it ?
There isn't ever enough haste. Ilevel>all, and no breakpoints
well ilvl > all maybe but more haste makes the game just more enjoyable, so that's something
@sick sentinel https://clips.twitch.tv/RoughAntediluvianOrangeSaltBae
Well if you want to use that logic, then it's subjective and you should go for other stats when you feel comfortable doing so.
Givem the 
3.8%
I'm about to solo him for the last bit
Take all the credit then eat the permaban
At least everyone got CE amirite?
I doubt you'd be banned for it
I don't consider using SR on an ability exploitation.
If they banned for this may as well ban locks that used the glare bug on mythrax
Maybe even sub rogues on zul?
or BDK on every other boss with magic debuff
The whole tier is full of shit like this
Its not even close to an exploitation
I installed it and it exists in my game
Of course
I don't really use it if that makes sense
Did it update to have an average score for the keys today?
havnt noticed
Because whenever I look at any keys, it shows the average score
For a key complete for that dungeon/level
hm
OK so legit question about BOM. What makes it so good? Paladins have a similar trait which sims horribly. Is it just a matter of uptime on avatar?
So for my 15 SoB it shows the average score of people who timed 15
Yes @keen galleon
Doesn't show it on my key
Or is it just that we have no sims and can't actually tell when a general trait might be better?
Doesnt show in LFG so no
yes
yeah
It says base score
I updated it like...3 hours ago so unless another update came out mine's up to date
That means how many points you get for 1 chesting it
I'm just getting base score and my highest
Thats fucking weird
And I literally just updating mine when you asked
Huh
What consumables do you bring for m+?
scrolls and blood sausage
No I mean flasks and potions... str or stam/survival stuff?
strength pots invis poits and speed pots
Lightfoot potions, strength pots, invis pots, stat food and like a stack of ordinary no-buff food
I'm more basic than that 😃
strength flask
Stregthen flask, invis pots, vers food, runes
And legion flask
For when i can't 100% trust my pugs
Cool, thanks 😃
I just don't bother flasking below a 15, lol
I literally havent done a single m+ on my warrior yet, so I don't think I'll start aiming for 15 yet 😃
Dive in the deep end izzi pizzi
Good thing there's no spells in m+ then
I would honestly only bring food with you
if ur doing keys below 14/15
Consumables that aren't foods are expensive af
Or become an alchemist
I've got plenty of gold, just lack experiencec and skill!
I honestly might
But then i think about it
I have the fel longblade plan
and that makes me a fuck load of money
Follow-up question though... are the highmountain tauren bonses good enough to make it a preferred race? or is it all irrelevant at this point?
I'm tempted to become an engi for the rez and then I remember I'm a tank and there's no way I'm getting that cast off in an emergency
Belf isn't an option out of principle. :p
Good
Racials basically don't matter unless you're a nelf or a dark iron, play what you want
I like you already'
BE is hands down still top 2
Staying orc then!
HM knockdown can be good, if A) know when to use, B) how to use it, and C) who can it affect
They do look kind of cool though
Just have to be creative with some racials that aren't a dps boost
like the goblin racial
It can be a gap closer or an escape
@lavish oracle you can use the eng bres while tanking. At least I'm pretty sure you can, I might have parried like 4 attacks in a row
Yea you can use it while tanking
Also I forgot who mentioned either today or yesterday, there is a new exploitable in ToS with killing the 3 bosses in a M0 and then do a M+ tos and running all the way to the last boss, doing it first then reverse killing all the bosses
Now that shit sounds like a ban ready to happen
Even though the sharkboss had 1 as well(not as bad but)
Ya I wouldn't be testing that out.
Best to let people know, just in case
That’s definitely an exploit
Shares new exploit for a dungeon that makes it insanely easy "But don't do it"
Better to be informed then uniformed and get caught for something u didn't know
I'm just giving you shit.

On the other hand, if you do that and think for even a second it's not an exploit, you're duuuuumb
I feel like you arent uninformed doing that
I didn't know about both sharkboss exploits until it happened
If you completed those events to trigger it, you know what you are doing and deserve it
Ok sure
But you have to do a specific sequence of events to make this one happen.
You can't really do it by accident
But you can’t accidentally kill three bosses then enter completely different content and do it in reserve
ya, i'm too lazy to exploit that.
Accidentally
We live in a world where we have to put a sign that says "Wet floor"
Tbf the Ghuun thing with spell reflect is straight up an exploit too.
Spell Reflect's mechanic is designed to reflect a single spell. Abusing it to reflect a spell that you've discovered isn't covered by that is an exploit
right, but you're not gonna get banned for using SR during a mechanic.
Exactly. It's likely not a bannable offense, unlike the other one potentially being bannable (and probably would be if you did it repeatedly)
So get ur +25's done now
😂
I feel like if you set the world record for key completion, it might attract Blizzard's attention :p

What does the buff do btw?
I'd explain how I talented
and made it easy to do.
Ew
From ToS? Perma bloodlust with damage reduction
Ah okay
Like 75% damage reduced
Idk I don’t count that as an exploit
You don’t have to do anything special to gain the additional reflects
You mitigate the first
Idk, it's a mechanic not working properly at its root. Continuing to use it, knowing it isn't functioning as intended would be an exploit in my eyes.
I'm not judging anyone who does it or anything. I'm just saying that by my definition, it's definitely an exploit. I doubt Blizz will even bother to fix it at this point considering the tier is almost over.
It is one the first though
You can’t force a tank to not use mitigation on something because it works too well
“No, you have to die because we can’t code this right. Rip you”
Its an exploit because you are reflecting more than one "effect" of the same thing
SR clearly says in the tooltip that only one spell will be reflected
I thought it only reflected one of them.
Maybe i've read it wrong 😂
No it reflects all of them
Using skystep to intentionally run through a bunch, sure
That’s BDK on EN spider level
But just using it, naw
Hey man, what if I REALLY love blood and zits
As an aside, I really am thinking of going alchy
@main vault I'll give you that. If you're not intentionally running around to reflect as many as possible, then you're fine. You can't change that it's not working properly, and if you need to use SR for mitigation, you need to use it.
A single reflect is still like 300k right?
Probably. People are doing millions of damage by doing it, so that sounds right.
Just let prot warriors have a nice thing at least once in life
🤔
we deserve it
nevermind the entire 8.1 balance changes
Yeah we're not one of the best tanks now or anything 🤔
I won’t believe War is good til I see Method tank rankings vid
😡
Need high points
we've been really good for one week in EN

I luled when Sco rated warrs last in ToS and Exorsus used one for progression up untill Kil'jaeden
warrior would have been amazing for KJ progression if roar wasnt so important
being able to have ~99% DR for fel claws
Yeah I was just about to say that.
exactly
Stupid druids, ruining our limelight
Seeing BDK health yoyoing while mine barely moved
Towellie was gearing his warr so we might be doomed
Damn
That guy is never getting a break huh lol
Towellie 😆
I feel bad for him because he's like the butt of a joke for some reason and I don't know why
Because he has a tendency to do things that are huge jokes on stream.
Like using a toy on progression, not realizing he's not in bear form, and blaming healers for his death. Or hearthing mid-pull on progression because he has his Hearthstone keybound. Or seeing an Agility trinket and talking about asking Blizzard to move it to his paladin because it's got a Haste proc on it.
Everyone makes mistakes, he just gets the brunt of a lot because he's a relatively large WoW streamer, and his mistakes tend to be a bit more humorous than the others.
Anyone else run along the inside of a mythrax beam and then wonder if there were healers on your side? :3
😬
Don't let your beams be memes
I liked when he horsied back to the ghuun orb spawn location after grabbing it
That was quality
So I didn't know about Towelie til Wildstar and then I saw him play that game and just get obliterated in countless ways
You see the clip of him getting the agi trinket from sots
And complaining he didn’t get it on his pally
Kek
Yeah
@hot locust kek
Blood Siphon
Shimmering siphon
Also, woohoo boss gave me this week 3 days off
Just gotta work saturday next week
So now I can work on my mememotes
Like
Can someone give me better geeear REEEE
I have 0 BoM traits and still rocking 345 shoulders for DC. FeelsBromMan
Don't have anything to replace with tho
I guess what's holding me back most is weapon and shield at 370
Pray for zandalr/voldun azerite cache
did mythic with a 370 shield, only got a 375 finally last week heh
this was fun
Good luck doing keys below +12/13
Using 375 Jes' and 380 Vial but don't have enough slots on my bars to actively use both - which would be better to macro lol
Anything below a 10 is usually bad. 10 and 11 are hit or miss. I haven't done enough above 11 to comment
God i fucking wish i knew how to record gameplay
Doing a +15 SoB, at 3rd boss and adds from the left side of the gate pulled the him
Through a lot of sweat, nail biting, and pain killed all the trash with only 1 death
Thank fucking god for boomkin/DH

Hmm, I can record Gameplay with Windows, but that might be a 10 Pro feature.
I just dont know how to record gameplay, like at all
I know how to play ze game
But recording I couldn't tell you wtf i would need
Try pressing Windows+G and see if it brings up a bar at the bottom of your screen.
Yes
Press the record button (the little circle). When you're done, press stop. It'll save it automatically
I play on a laptop if it helps
Do you have GeForce Experience?
i think
You can auto record then save x seconds back
Basically like snipping a twitch stream
Or you can save the entire file to your HD
Literally going over my head all of this, cause i have fuck all knowledge about snipping
I just found the geforce
You’ve Never seen people link a stream and it’s only 10 seconds long clip?
Yes
You can do that with your live game through GeForce
Ah
So when you have memes like that
You can hit a keyboard shortcut
Then your memes won’t be dreams
reflecting malignant growth on g'huun, is there a trick to it? I'm scared I'm going to eat one and then eat another and die like a pleb
You hit the button before you get hit by it
Doesn’t work if you do it after
but it only reflects one, so it's basically pop, stand in one, dodge rest? ye?
concerned by the "doesn't consume reflect" part
they dont hit at the same time
so you can take multiple or just one
You should only be able to reflect one, but there's a bug involving that ability that causes it to not consume the reflect "charge". So you will reflect all of them within the 3 second window of Spell Reflection.
Or rather not a bug, but it's just not flagged properly or something.
Just looted a 370 Vanquished Tendril of G'huun from a heroic run -- I've heard this trinket is just...not good. Should I consider using it?
My current trinkets are a 355 Deck and 350 Howler.
It’s pretty meh
Stick with what u have
Oh, I missed the trinket list, my bad.
Just keep it for bag itemlvl
KK. Thank you guys. RIP, my bonus roll.
I kinda wish I had it for m+
yeah
i wanted it
tank equipped it :))
idk if he went through rclootcouncil at all
cus it was up for it
idk
idc
should i use a 370 helm with AOT or a 385 with Callous reprisal ?
Do you have another piece with archive?
no
Then archive
okay ty
is there a go-to rule in regards to using last stand?
I just use it to fill holes in SB
Unless there is something specific I wanna save it for
usually SB X 3 last stand SB X 3
but there are certain situations where you use last stand otherwise
Rstard large pulls for openers are a good example
Yeah I’ll open with LS if I’m doing a ridiculous pull
Where do I find a WA that makes Revenge only glow when it's free due to parry? :(
Or how do I make it only on that proc :/
the default UI already shows that
Doesn't matter to me.
I work in WA's I refuse to use anything standard related D:
Left and right panels / sides off of the character are used with stuff, can't have some standard Blizzthing glow there
@polar eagle 385 in m+ , 370 in uldir
okay ty 😃
I use luxthos for all 3 specs, mainly because they’re all included. It has a rotation highlight meaning that it highlights the ability that in a general sense, is probably your best bet to use. It does show revenge as being usable vs not but also gives it a glow during party.
@upbeat ivy
Eeeww I like Luxthos but I have to delete so much unneccessary stuff q_q. I do usually take him as template and personlaize but his Prot Warri just couldn't do it for me. I got it fixed now after playing around tho! Thank you :lirikH:
Yeah I had to mess around with a lot of stuff but now that I’m used to it I see no reason to change, it works for me and I’m glad you got it sorted!
What is this luxthos thing?
is protwar can tanking now? or they already peace of shit?
Can you put it in english?
🎣
protection norms or still shit?
Yes
One of the strongest against physical, weakest piece of garbage against magical. But spell reflect against bosses is fun
I thought 8.1 would fix them and it would be possible to return to my main again 😦

Bloodsport vs iron Fortress Traits for high M+?
Iron Fortress
@upbeat ivy I have an aura for revenge specifically that I can share with you
quick question, is vial of animated blood any good? i have eye of rezan + jes howler right now but could upgrade to a vial with +15 ilvl
Vial is really good for deeps tbh
is vial a +15 ilvl upgrade for both eye and jes?
for jes +15 for eye + 10
replace jes
ok ill try it out, thanks
Can you still deflect ghuun shrooms for 600k damage?
that is still a thing, yes
@grave grove 
@cosmic cargo 🤔
hello
don't @ me
Banned
🔨
You can deflect the mushroom pizza mechanic back to ghuun??
Well, maybe throw in a few holy paladins
So do you have to put up shield wall at the same time/IP, or just straight up stand in a slice and reflect
Spell Reflect
Reflect and run around
That’s nice 😮
Ran my first timed m10 last night
👍
Prot feels so much better when you get a shield worth a damn.
wait which is the mushroom pizza mechanic
at last phase ? or the one that stays throughout the fight
soooo 600 every 25 secs
=600k/25 dps
=24k dps
=more than everyone else in the raid
WTF?
does the debuff stack?
just one hit i guess ?
how much dmg is one explosion?
thinking if its worth to switch prot instead of arms here
you can reflect as many as you can get
lol?
exploit i guess
Skystep + spell reflect
I think I have a clip lemme find it
sooo should spell reflect also work on bursting in the m+ affix?
in that it doesnt give u stacks if u have it up or is it just a bug with gun
bug with gun
is it bannable?
That's a bug specific to ghuun yeah
Could be bannable
But that's the end of the progress so that might get through
Imagine using prot warriors in world first race
I'm going prot next raid
Depends which tanks get the best gear before mythic week probably🤔
But during early Uldir they were not sufficient for the world first race
Id say its even probably likely pair with monk
I'm considering switching to prot Warr as my main tank spec, over BrM. But might just stick to BrM for progress.
Azerite pieces are more focused towards class traits next raid
Prot traits are extremely strong
Several DC + BoM
Tank spec with equivalent of dps dmgs
BoM not good for progress I guess though
Its not bad
We wont have RA anymore
Or, well, with the extra rings you're not really giving up bfi or something for it
Im guessing the best raid setup will be 3x BoM 1 DC and 2x Bfi
^
Atleast thats what im gonna go for
No IF?
Idk if theres if on the bom pieces
Prot's gonna be insane
Ah, yeah, haven't checked
Specially with engineer goggles
Engi goggles loses one prot specific trait tho
Gizmo tho
is it worth going engi for the goggle?S
800 strength 25k hp / 950 haste for 10 secs at 385
DC outer ring also
So glad we're rid of mandatory raid trait
hmm
can u send
the engineering goggles traits
wowhead doesnt show what they are
I'm not on my computer atm :/
Not necessarily got rid of one necessary trait
Its just that its added into every single piece
what are tough dungeons for prot warriors? like what dungeons are the highest magic damage? im new to prot
Motherlode, kings rest
that it?
Shrine if nobody is interrupting
There are no bad stats for prot
Haste
Vers is pulling slightly above mastery
On same ilvl pieces favor haste in stats
