I can't tank without some food
Like dude I'm not gonna pay what amounts to half of my purchase (with the $4 charge) for $10 of Taco Bell 😂
would you consider prot to be on par with brm for next tier
@whoever has said this shit
(even though tier isn't out 🤔)
brm is still at the top imo
My only answer is yes
Maybe in the raid we can see someone's logs and find out, u don't need SB in the raid to perform better
In fact we learn that casting IP is bad in raid
double brm will still be the meme team
Wf guilds will go for brm always
it's a meme comp for wf pushing, it really won't matter at any of our level
limit actually unbanned me yesterday
And if wf guilds go for brm, the rest will follow
levels*
maybe for the first few pulls tbh
so now that i'm unbanned from limit
but at this stage they have the field to slug in more optimal picks
unlike first raid when you simply didnt have the alts
If limit runs prot, we might have some representation
so you had to make a guess, and brm is safe
Didn't they have one?
what do you mean they unbanned you?
limit's prot warrior got growth reflection hotfixed
Lol
Lol
but i wouldn't be surprised if there's more representation in this next race
nimchip knows what im talking about
is the 150 stam food ever worth it over haste food?
No
this is actualyl why I count this race way more than Uldir
no
since guilds have the rosters to optimize
gear disparity is less severe too
ya, should be a fun race imho
cuz you bet your ass if there's some money SR usage or what not all thse top guilds have a Prot ready to slide in
i doubt method will run prot though
geared etc.
but we'll see
maybe, but honestly if it's optimal, they will
sco running indom yikes LOL
the question is will they deem it so
I Believe the word you're searching for is DECREE
4% shieldwall "PROT IS BAD"
I mean how bad, realistically, is indom?
its bad
its not bad
yeah but how bad
I mean, it's not really bad. It's just not as good.
mathematically
comparatively it is
its nearly equal to bolster in a vacuum
which unfortunately is what matters in this system haha
and feels dope, might I add
i mean there's no reason to use it, there are no tank busters that need you to have that stam... as of today, and bolster is just flat out better
indom is SO BORING
lol I feel you on that
yawn talents 😦
so my co tank thought i was kidding when I said I'd run safeguard for him on Fetid
i mean yay a talent that increases HP, yay
damn straight you flex one of the like two talent choices we can
so original
safeguard is great, just wish it also allowed you to SR your target
granted it CAN if the spell procs via an auto
like those assassins in AD
but I dont believe I can see a cast targeted at you, intercept you, pop SR before it goes off and reflect it.
honestly though safeguard is a decent talent
What should i gem as a prot warr?
oh it is, i love the idea of it tbh
it's Super "Prot-y"
reminds me of that one talent that had you put that buff on a target
fuck i forgot the name
vigilance?
ya something like that
anyway i like how vigilance was kinda copied from warhammer online
where you put something on a target and it protected them
sort of like the duel pvp talent
Well
I suppose with the current way things work, not having a filler is kinda crappy. I really just miss Legion prot - the battle cry spam set bonus in particular
Been looking at leveling up a tank for selling m+ keys when my norm groups tank is gone, deciding between prot war/blood DK, how is prot war utility atm in keys? obvs their dps is pretty good, which is part of reason im lookin at prot over blood, but grip etc id lose, thoughts?
prot utility is the damage they bring realistically
Well shockwave is strong as fuck
the mobility helps a lot too, although it's not on crackhunter (dh) levels or bm levels
gotcha, thats what i was thinkin basically was the DPS, with prot id basically take place of the the DPS we were carrying
bdk will probably be easier to use still, but i feel like i'm in slow motion on my bdk lol
But for boosting +10s it really doesnt matter what you pick
havent really done many M+ with warriors, are there any affixes etc that make it harder on prot wars by a good bit?
Nah. Sanguine is easier for dks tho
gotcha, thats the main one i was thinking due to grip
as long as you know how to kite and do things other than facetank, warr does fine in everything (:
ah dang 2 people per run, we'll just be doin 1 for sure as our other dps are kinda meh, im our main DPS so i'd probs need to switcht o best dps tank, ie seems prot
it will only be for carries, main will always be my havoc ♥
Go warrior
Its fun
And you can clap
I've only played it for three weeks now but I love it xD
Yeah go warrior. You can easily carry with both, but with warrior you can at least flex at the top of the meters 😃
BoMbing keys is soo much fun right now
My ally warr needs gear and keys done 10+ only for farm if anyone interested 😉
That little dwarf Gunna be me Warr main over hordie one now that stoneform is omphh
well we got like three of those in here now
I’ll fury or prot don’t matter just need to feel some gear
And this week ezy pezy
Farm
Got a 320 wep and 340 shield on him still lmao but got 370 everything else
😦 feels bad then a shaman in TD rolled a frigging shield
wow good yet?
Levko it hasnt been 2 months yet!
Levko comin in unsummoned....woah
actually the letters “b” “d” and “k” were used together more than three times....
Did you know there’s an awesome manga about protection warrior ?
haha ruh roh with that one in here (yeah, totally read it and as a “tank” guy its realtalk haha)
korean 🤔
He’s not calling the game korean you galaxybrained clown
he’s talking about the grind
y i k e s
i feel like galaxybrained is quite the compliment
Dafuq does galaxybrained mean lol
clearly the brain capacity rivaling a galaxy
That definitely sounds like a compliment.
mhmm
omegalul
Clowns are funny, so that sounds like a compliment too.
naw fuck clowns
bigbrained is an insult. Am guessing galaxybrained is also one.
🤡
bigbrained is an insult? alrways thought smallbrained was
thus the opposite would be flattering...
its used by people on the right to denigrate the self-important liberal types.
Guessing it's supposed to be like hydrocephalus lol
seeing as historically brain size is attributed to intellect
bigbrained.
Sanguine is such a fun and engaging affix that really improves the flow of the gameplay of a mythic plus. Don't you guys agree?
It's the perfect affix
Well, not always. Saying someone sucks and someone blows are technically opposites but mean the same thing.
i prefer MS Paint for my painting sims, Bromigo
extra bonus fun : run it with a frostmage "helping" with full snare spec and a trolly guildy on his boomkin trying to punt every ghunny into adds 😄
naw, all about that treant drop at 5% hp
Yeah, Frigid Winds is a must
just gotta squeeze that extra astral power out in the last 5%
@sand egret you meme too hard at times
tfw got moderated
pssh i never meme
fucking kms
i think i used "lit" once correctly tho, so I think that counts
what dungeon were you in Bro?
i take it it was a fun and pleasant experience?
they suck
[Vial of Animated Blood
ooops
Attempt number I stopped counting - +15 Shrine
the best part about motherlode is reflecting the death lazer from the masterminds, the worst part is tanking the lazer
Prot vs Mastermind:
"Yesssssss here comes the Energy Lash"
pops SR
next 24 seconds
"fuuuuck"
Illibob the memehunter?
BodyPullGuy?
@marble cipher dingdingding
Yeeey, I won!
Imagine how much fun you would have with Sanguine + Explosive
I am actually surprised that blizzard didnt make that a combination
So much potential
shush before you give them any ideas
@keen spire late to respond, but ty friend ❤
i m just amazed they havnt fucked up with explosive and reaper waves
Reaping isn’t out
How do you know they haven’t
It could be a complete shitshow on release
Oh they certainly could
There's wayyyy too many things going on for them to have tested every single possible interaction.
Lol thinking they wouldn’t
Expecting blizzard to learn
we're talking about a small indie company that has basically no QA staff because of cost cutting maneuvers under kotick's orders
and you expect them to learn from mistakes? 
Didn't beat it in time, but I can see my mistakes with Shrine
Lucky enough it's not punishing for being slow with adds
Would have had it if my team killed ghuun faster and didn't let it run
Right at the 3rd boss
Then wiping because our dh doesn't know too kick left squid
Just watched lepan play on ptr
Is he
415 ilvl and triple bom traits
lepan around?
He had 83% critical block during avatat xD
Fucking wow
sounds about right
#balanced
So
i get 55% at like 380 with 2
T-minus when for BoM
Is there any definitive choice in terms of which Azerite people are buying from vendor first
At this point just save it
Literally impossible to answer
Since it will depend on what drops the first two weeks
Helm with dc and bom 😁
the system is designed to shore up stuff you don't have, so unless you can predict your gear, not so much
If ur gonna push for M+, the only real chocies to buy are Helm/shoulder but a shoulder piece also has the same traits from M+
What about a bis combination of helm shoulder chest out of the raid plus vendor choices
is enlarged heart soloable
as prot
🤔
So really just the helm, since the shoulders have less rng associated with the raid
Yes
how do u do it
830k shadow damage :X
Max IP/Demo/SR/SW/RC
ah
so you take one
and then never again
Yup
You should only take like two the entire fight
U will be left with almost 1% hp
nah
And I don't recall if I had eye trinket when I did it
U can duo it, but the other person will die
And u won't need RC
why would you solo it tho
To prove a point
War isnt a class Id have solo tbh lol
Nor should you
But you can't ask pugs to stack for something they've been doing since Mythic Uldir came out tho
kinda funny that pala can do it with just ardent
I've sadly yet to see since they all just bubble it
true
but 20% dr then cheat death can "absorb" 2x your max hp
pretty good for this kind of stuff
tru
Get one to drop; use artifact until then
you wait until you have a green or something high enough ilvl to be worth it
excellent design
early quests throw decent blues at you pretty early
ok
yep, each zone
excellent design.
You're an excellent design.
😊
i am going 2 stream prot after raid
or rogue
but i know some1 wanted to watch but i dont remember who
I’ll watch for lulz cause I’m bored
noice
overall how is prot warrior rn from a fun to play standpoint. I hated the GCD changes and havent came back to WOW since.
Okay here, how many of the GCD changes have they rolled back? the only one i know of is IP and thats a pretty big one.
shun me for saying this but i loved the late legion prot warrior, it was fast and it hit hard, even if it was considered a low tier tank
I don't really know
ip is off the gcd
shield block isn't on the gcd
avatar isn't on the gcd
oh they took it off too?
LETS GOOOOOOO
those were the changes that killed it for me
im so happy
THANK YOU SO MUCH
np
Avatar and Demo Shout are still on the GCD @high folio
SB, IP, and Intercept are off.
Yeah it's still slightly awkward but just taking intercept and IP off was huge
It feels alot better if thats what you care about
Having to use Avatar the GCD before you go ham isnt bad
yeah ill just have to get in a better habit of doing that in pre pull
but if those are the only 2 still on gcd i can handle tat
that
avatar on GCD was only bad because intercept was also on GCD
Yeah, you can Intercept and cast Ava mid-charge now if you want.
now you can avatar during your charge and immediately start slamming when you pull
oh okay
nice
makes me happy, when warrior got trashed thats when i quit playing, no other tank compares to it imo
did they changed devestator back?
Devastator isnt a thing
wym i have it on my talent tree
They put booming voice on the same tier, so it's basically a non-talent now.
Eh, it's not too terrible tbh. Definitely not as spammy as the last we had to use Devastate.
the last time*
since 3X as many abilities can proc a free SS you really still dont spam devestate nearly as much
Well you're supposed to prepop avatar, that's why you haven't noticed
Still, isn't a big deal
I use nitro boots for pulling
Basically a half effect skystep but I did it to save gold
If you don't care about that the mini shield is basically a health pot that does not share cd with healthpots or healthstone
10 min cd though ( even though when I used it rarely needed it more often than that)
I haven't actually tried that and forgot that it existed :O
Well I tried punching way too high above my weight, tried a +17. Made too many mistakes compared to my +15
I'd assume the same amount of time ud have reaching the 2nd boss would be fine, but it's not
Also does MW apply the physical damage debuff or is it just WW?
all monks
But they have to actually hit all the mobs to apply it. Usually can just go in and SCK real fast to apply it
Gotta maximize them prot deeps!
Get all the debuffs for e'erbody
Plus, fucking resto shamans are just the worst there
No rop/typhoon style abilities
Does resto not have Thunderstorm?
I haven't run with a resto shaman more than twice the whole bfa
thunderstorm is ele
Ah
Change ur name back Kage
U gobblebright
I name changed in game
No
switched servers for a guild

Plus, fucking resto shamans are just the worst there
Damn
with resto shamans you are basically a god for 15 sec and then you are getting fucked basically
I know thrall is fucking dead as shit but damn
Resto shammy aint that bad tbh
Good monring! You guys made up your mind regarding BRolls already? I was thinking about something like this: https://i.imgur.com/tElrV0v.png
And then the 9th BR depending on RNG
Looks right
1,2,7,8 are the most important
Jaina has a solid trinket
Im going after that
And a bis ring
And helm with IF+BFI
Rasta has the other ring
So whatever slots you value
TY
I know 1/2/7/8 are azerite and either MH or OH
You believe in any off the deff trinkets?
No
Could prolly cheese with Rasta trinket
But 6min cd
Rage trinket could be good too
High Tinker trinket maybe too
purely on class, what is our least desirable healer in higher keys. i feel like ive had some trouble running with holy pallys
Shaman or Pally
Mistweavers have been really good
MW is god tier
Truly
@main vault The channel?
No
It's pretty bad
The damage is meh and the channel for it is long as fuck.
?
Rage trinket.
When you're being swung at it is
S2 hasn't started yet o.o
S2 did not start
Ideally you would pick a time you werent being swung at
Or just use a CD or something to use it
Thats what parsing is
@midnight shale Sorry they didnt answer your question
The top one is scores only within Warriors
Yea I meant leaderboard
The bottom is scores within roles
So top is only Prot War
Bottom is all tanks
And etc
Lol ofc I'm so blind, soz4spam
Thanks 👍
But none of those are scores.
Its not S2 either so who cares
People still knew what he meant
Noone said anything about S2 but you
"Hey how come these oranges don't taste like oranges?"
That's because it's apples not oranges
"???"
So be a dick and answer with a bs answer cause semantics, got it
He posted pics, you knew what he was asking, and still just bs
That's like asking for log review on your fury DPS and then posting a boomkin parse and getting shitty that anyone points out it's not a fury parse
Actually you probably didnt since you added a line about a being S1 and not S2, for whatever reason
Its not but ok
Sometimes its ok to just not be an asshole
And it makes you look like a bigger one when you add things like Also that's S1 not S2 when noone said anything
Asking a question about one thing and then providing another thing and then being corrected about thing not being the thing you're asking about
🙃
whew lad
You are obviously special so Ill just leave you be
If the question was "How come I have two different RANKINGS?" it'd be different.
K
Not tilted, just no reason to be a dick for no reason, and provide shit answers doing it
But again, you obviously dont understand so Im just going to bed
I mean we can keep going in circles, but asking about scores when you show a picture of rankings when the two things are pretty explicitly different
do you mean scored against just your class and scored against every one in that role?
Nah I get it I was just trolling that time
@cinder nova Don't be a dick for literally zero reason.
You can answer the guy without being rude, it's not hard.
I mean, I wans't. I was literally pointing out those aren't scores and that they're leaderboards in the hopes he might clarify with an image that was scores.
Not everyone understands, and it wasn't hard to figure out what he was asking since he literally posted a picture about what he was asking.
This isn't the channel for this.
Common parlance.
Take it to #off-topic, it's not related to #protection.
theres a difference between #off-topic and #protection ?
I'm not sure Prawn. I catch myself doing it sometimes and I have no idea why

It’s easy to get OT with some of the people in here lol
And when the game is so boring
A lot of the Discords still feel like we are in beta, but anyways
Going slightly off-topic in the course of a discussion is fine. Starting a new conversation that has nothing to do with Prot isn't.
Had a talk with new guild about who is better at Thrashes, me or Monk
I felt even with my ilvl difference I was
Unless the monk is either grossly undergeared or comatose it'll be him.
But they were dead set on him doing it
Stagger is YUCKY GOOD
It'll "feel" better for the healers because of Stagger working that way.
He'll "feel" better to heal as a MT on Fetid too.
You'll reduce more damage though.
Yeah we just did it with him on thrashes since it was my first raid there
Isn't the reason he "feels" better, as you put it, because it's just smoother intake than the way prot has a proclivity to spike from getting domed every 3rd swing
I know I’d mitigate more of the thrash
And it’s the role I’m used to, felt wierd as MT
Stagger gives the healers a buffer and lets them ignore the monk for multiple Thrashes in a row. They don't get chunked as hard (warriors don't get chunked as hard as other tanks either, but monks are busted).
Warriors get chunked for a lot less than the others do as well, it's just how Stagger works.
Pretty much. Name of the game isn't total mit, it's how smooth you can mit
Not always.
I’ve done it on both tanks
BRM's mastery is useless for Thrash.
It felt smoother on War
Better to have BRM MTing and Warrior doing Thrash.
I mean so is ours.
Warrior is definitely the best tank for both options in terms of pure mit, Monk is almost as good, but Monk loses more doing Thrash since their Mastery is now useless in doing so.
How is Warrior's Mastery useless for Thrash? It's blockable.
RNG
You can block the Thrash, and thus you can critically block it.
You're going to crit block more MTing
You can't dodge it, which is what BRM's mastery is.
define useless...
They'll just stack it endlessly and never consume it.
Well, to cap yeah
if you crit block even 1 thrash i would say thats the opposite of useless
The lack of guarantee crit block has is kinda underwhelming unless you're running triple BoM
The fact that I can't rely on it says volumes as an ability
That doesn't make it worthless, that makes it exactly what it is for everything else that's blockable - nice when it happens, bad feeling when it doesn't.
BRM's mastery is literally worthless for Thrash.
But their stagger isn't, and that's what sets them apart.
stagger is different than mastery...
I'm aware, that's why I've only been talking about the stagger.
Spike damage is a tank's worst enemy. The smoother we can make our intake the easier we are to heal because the more predictable our intake becomes.
Stagger is basically an autopilot for that.
BRM's mastery is useless for Thrash.
I mean so is ours.
🤔
It felt good to “undergear” tank again
You're aware that you can block every Thrash as a Warrior, yes? You will, upfront, mitigate more on every Thrash than every other tank in the game.
Stagger smoothens damage, but it doesn't reduce it.
Hands down block mitigates more than stagger, no argument. But for fat swings like trash being able to stagger thrash damage over a period of time is better than taking it all to the face at once
It feels better for the healers because it takes, ex. 100k damage and spreads it out over 10 seconds.
And Warrior is still better at Thrash because the upfront mitigation is hands down better.
That’s what I was thinking
And Monk loses out on more by doing Thrash over doing MT.
I think we're overlooking the rest of the raid group for the sake of overall mitigation in a fight.
mitigate more =/ easier to heal
MTing is also the harder part of the fight for healers to heal, since the damage intake is so huge, so it's better for them to handle that, especially when the block tank won't be able to block every melee.
If a healer isn't as pressured to immediately heal a spike
They can devote resources to literally anything else
Which is ideal
I’d personally never put Monk over War on Thrashes but I’m just a simple tank
They said it wasn’t bad so meh
just because warrior mitigates it more effectively doesn't mean its easier for your healers
the reason monk is so strong is that you have so much time to respond
you very rarely have to burst heal a monk
You're forgetting that both tanks need to be healed constantly on Fetid, as well as the entire raid. Warrior doesn't get chunked doing Thrashes as much as they would doing the melees, just because you can't block every melee like you can block every Thrash.
If you play it right as a Warrior, the Thrash damage is going to be incredibly small.
It's not bursts at all.
Yeah the times I have done it, I’ve never felt in risk
Always felt like I could take two before I “had” to be healed
Compared from my Paladin to my Warrior, the Thrash damage is easily twice as small, if not more.
It’s stupid small lol
Monks smoothen that out, but they also smoothen out the melee damage better, which is the harder and worse part of the fight.
But I’ve only done it on Bear, Monk, and now War
If you MT as a Warrior, you'll block one of them for like 20k, the SB drops because there's inevitably gaps in your mitigation and suddenly he chunks you for 120k and your healers start to flip.
I did screw myself a couple times and cast a SB right before a mechanic
Yeah there were gaps for sure
That's why monks are better for MTing than the Warrior in that situation.
The Thrash damage isn't the dangerous part, it's the constant melee.
I’m only 372 on War so it felt a little like prog
But fun to not play a 100% uptime tank
Thinking as a tank does tend to be more of an engaging experience.
New level 120 warrior here guys , to my understanding we don't have a start priority we go with Highest ilvl always? including Rings?
Generally that is the idea, however it can be different when comming to rings and trinkets obviously
We do however have a state prio which is haste however but as mentioned they are close to others stats
so if its a big ilvl upgrade just go for that
Next time check the pins as everything you need to know should be there
Alright ;?)
quick gear questions: currently i got a 375 azerite piece with archive, is it worth replacing for a 390 with bloodsport. for uldir I would ofcours wear the 375 for reorigination but i'm asking with the prospect of dazar'alor
390 is better when not in Uldir
I'd say the ilvl but your gonna replace as soon as you get a 2 ring bit from any source probs
alright, thx for the help
is there a azerite guide for M+
I don't think so @quick rock but your ideal setup, at least for outer ring traits, would likely be Deafening Crash x1, Bastion of Might x2
yah dont have either
They're not mandatory, though Deafening Crash is the only azerite trait we have that's worth dropping a bit of ilevel for.
awh i see yah i have fortress and secret of the depth
Fortress is pretty good. Can't remember what Secret of the Depth is off the top of my head
Oh, right
I don't know for sure but str being what it is, I wouldn't say it's bad. Probably better in dungeons than in raids though, since you have a bit more freedom to maneuver to pick up the orbs in that case.
I have that trait on one toon though and those orbs can spawn in inconvenient places :/
Eh, I won't say I'm right, but I'd probably choose Bloodsport over Secrets just because it's at least consistent and doesn't have me chasing orbs everywhere.
But I have a hard time seeing the orbs anyway (colorblind) so surely that impacts my decision a bit.
oh these other 2 are on a different item
Ohhh, gotcha
So fortress/secrets are the choices on one piece, then apoth/bloodsport on another?
Yeah, I mean, Fortress is pretty good tbh. More block is never bad, especially in M+ when you're constantly getting meleed (blockable damage)
👍
ty
How good is Thunderous Blast in comment to BoM?
Thanks
No worries anything else
Nah man, im just enjoying my prot warrior now that im done with stupid G'huun mythic on DK
Wewww gratz
Pre much what you want is one DC and 2X bom
Fat dmg from bom and honestly DC is more then enough defensively so go for fat dmg
Will be interesting to see the mixes being done in dazar though
Ports stronger then your DK in a raiding perspective in case you were wondering
Prots
Im a much better DK player than Warrior tho rofl
Rip my friend
Harder to play then DK but that’s the rewarding part I believe
It’s not brain dead
And the dmg... feels good to do dmg as a tank man
Idk if it's harder
It's just the exact opposite of DK
It's proactive instead of reactive
I’m only on my alt warr I made for ally 365 with 320 wep pulling almost 10 k sustained
That is true
I’ve got the traits though so works well
And that juicy knot and fathoms
guys, hey, wanted to ask a thing. During the Jadeplebs encounter in dazar alor, Mage casts Pyroblast at a randomly selected target, if this is a prot warrior with spell reflect ready, will it actually be reflectable or at least if it has landed during the spell reflect, will it go back to the caster or just fade away like nothing happened?
Some dazaralor skills have been tested
thanks Jay. Maybe someone else knows?
Sounds like it should be reflectable
Either in the pins or at resource channel
its in FAQ
thanks nevertheless!
and it's not listed there, well, we will find out soon anyways
How is Endless Hunger trait? I just received it on a piece with it, but i have deafening crash already on another piece
and this is the item i had
Should I stack the deafening crash trait, use endless hunger or should i keep the old lower ilvl piece?
so going with endless hunger is what you are saying as it increases vers with 274?
Even though people down play CR(it isn't bad) all prot warrior traits are better than general traits
Jeshowler 380, Rezans 380, Syringe 385. Which ones would u guys run in low M+? Boosting some mates and not too familiar with prot.. i know how to play it but no clue whats better than other in terms of trinkets etc.
I’d go howler and rezans personally
But that’s me
It wouldn’t matter to much there but rezans for sure
Go rezan/syringe, easier to deal with
Passive for win eh
@quick rock you underestimate the power of bloodsport a lot
You shouldn't, it's good for mit
@pseudo surge rezan's+syringe is the play for dungeons
worse for defensive than most traits that also have a DPS component
that's a yikes from me
Magic damage though
that Bloodsport hate 😦
I use 1 Bloodsport 2 BoM, Vial for DPS burst and more leech for Bloodsport and Xalzaix Eye for oh shit damage
dps prot is a thing now?
Single target is not great but AOE damage is insanely good.
For second ring should you always prioritize defensive traits? Trying to decide between ablative shielding and OP
13k st is not good for a tank🤔
OP diminishes as you take dmg
True.
Would double BoM be worth taking over CR + BoM? Pretty new to prot
Yeah all 385
I really like OP, tbh
Lucky sob
it diminishes, but that also varies. On ST fights when you're getting hit with slower swing timers, it's still a bunch of haste.
385 disc/380 rezans/390 syringe, thoughts for m+?
I would go syringe for sure
it's a tossup between disc and rezan's imo
rezan's because it has both an offensive and a defensive value, but the +15% damage per target is 👌
Sweet ty, guess it depends on how comfortable I am, also would you drop 5ivls generally for haste/vers stuff
Or just stick to highest ilvl
For example, 385 crit/mastery wrists or 380 haste/vers
highest ilvl
if thats your only dc then use it
That goes for all fights right, not just aoe?
yep
yeah, i'm liking it
@astral crystal uploading my Wa set b tw
Is op actually good for prot? You’d think not since you’re always taking dmg right?
You still have 12sec minimal uptime on it
for tanking 15 keys, should i go 2x brace for impact or swap out 1 brace for impact for an iron fortress? all same ilvl
doesn't really matter
you can get nitpicky between the 2nd and 3rd tiers, both of those traits are extremely close
alright, i'm not too familiar with the prot traits
personally, I like to double up cuz i'm ocd like that. But if IF has like IV on it...
if they're the same ilvl then it doesn't reallly matter
esp between those two
BFI favors ST vs IF (in M+ with lots of autos) can scale up
but like it's not huge
i have bloodsport , with azerite veins as well, is that worth considering?
yeah, it's a toss up so pick which 2nd/3rd tier traits you like better. You're not going to be horribly wrong either way 😃
is impassive visage better than resounding protection?
personally, i'd do BFI
IV is very strong, imho
but both have niches
for instance, RP against something like Zul is better than IV
(the shadow of zul)
since its big ol' chunks of magic. iv on the other hand works well. Both are strong
yeah, guess ill just try it out, thanks for the help
yeah it's a nice spot to be in to have some choices, tbh!
mythic+ group LF 1500+ IO tank that wants to consistently grind mythic + dungeons
my gear is pretty op, i just haven't tanked alot yet
@last mason it has an ICD so you can only lose so much at a time
gotta start somewhere
So not like you lose all the stacks in 3seconds or something
@old jewel this isn’t a recruitment channel
@old jewel you are basically posting in a channel full of tanks that you are a tank looking for a group.
We all are
is trial of valor soloable?
not if you want to do it on mythic
I wanna get that mog set
cant get the mythic set anymore
if that's what you were thinking of
that was tied to the chosen achievement, which was retired in 8.0
I feel like that's not accurate
there's some pieces though, just no helm/shoulders
because I did chosen runs in 8.0
the tmog was definitely gone in 8.0
Warcraft Devs confirmed during Nighthold and once more recently that The Chosen would be only available during Legion, becoming a Feat of Strength in patch 8.0.
well....idc about the mythic one
i want hte heroic
at least on wowhead saying that shit is g2g
as of 8.0.1
yeah all sets except mythic are available
Whats not available is the achievement and title right?
achievement, title and tmog
because the tmog was tied to the achievement
the full set i should say
The mog could drop without the achievement
no
you can get certain pieces
no helm or shoulders as stated above
boots, pants, chest, gloves and belt i think
that was on normal/heroic
Chosen is 100% gone
Oh well
Only the LFR-Heroic and I think the quest set are available
F
Thats why People (including me) were making fucking bank before pre-patch
How I feel about panda tmog for classes
Chosen runs have funded BFA for me so far
+15s and antorus runs for me
ye +15 sales and raid gambling
i made like a million off guildies
i also lost about 700k total
some dark times, some good times
Keys are so shit for the next 2 weeks
What don’t you like about next week?
What is there to like lol
It’s not sanguine and not necrotic
Explosive is cancer, and bolstering is even more cancer
As long as you have knowledgeable melee explosive is manageable. Bolstering use your shockwave and other aoe stuns in group
It would be nice if explosive was damage by thunderclap 🙃
Next week isnt bad at all
Agreed. I’ll take that over any necrotic or sanguine week period
Excuse me guys , but I can't find any notion of what is the best Azerite Traits , and which we must have atleast 1 of ? or more ? , and what are the best Secondary and third ring ones
Any one can point me in the right direction?
I won't drop DC for any other Azerite gear , unles it also have DC or it has 45 ilvl above?
if I read right ?
15 ilvls
gemhide is inner
iv?
So 1 DC , 2 BoM and as much as IV and Gemhide as I can get ?
for m+ yes
What if I have the 3 ring ( Guttripeer and stuff (
For raiding ?
how different is it all ?
you raids you don't want bom
What do I want instead ?
There is a section in the guide
Which guide?
For Azerite, not m+ specifically
for raiding, check out the Icy-veins guide either on the pins or at the #268491842637660160
The one in the pins, top pin
That would be the ideal
But anything S through B is decent to use
Inner Trait Id stick to the S and A
Thank you very much
When you say iner you mean the first one ?
or the last ones?
the main one should be for Raid 1 DC and 2 BFI
That's outer
Great
to know
Then what ever between B-S
and then what ever between A-S
Why all of this raw knowledge not uploaded to Bloodmallet I wonder.*
Because those are sims for damage
And because prot warrior doesnt have a working simc module
Outer rings are going to always be 99% of the time, prot warrior traits
Middle rings defense based>offense based
Inner rings S>A
And yeah BM is just a place to find Sims for things
SimC is where u do actually simming
How do I sim tho ?
You cant
U don't as prot
I sim as fury ?
Not as prot
Yes
Also here's some advice, u don't need to Sim. We are the strongest tanks when it comes to Tank Dps
I would ask more question most likely in the upcoming weeks , I will keep it as simple and easy as possible , Thank you for your help truly Odyn's son 😄
@sick sentinel Nice to know that 😄
I main BDK 😄
you equip highest ilvl and if you are to choose between same ilvls then you choose haste
you also gem haste
Unless ur me
And gem/eat for vers
For that sweet sweet damage
I eat vers or haste depending on the dungeon
I always eat vers since I'm HM
vers for heavy magic and haste for deeps
Although because I got new gear pieces, I might have to eat for haste now
I think that survivability wise, the best stat is str but since I play 3xBoM, I think that if haste would allow me to fit 1 more GCD in avatar, it is all worth it
I would agree with that since strength contributes so much to so many things
Hey guys, what is the best trinket in prot ?
There is literally no way to answer that
Ur gonna need an example of situation to get some kind of answer
in mm+ ?
What level?
Ok, now we need an example of a situation in m+
What kind of boss is it, or is it with just adds
That depends so much on ur playstyle
I used to play double eye/eye trinket with a healthy balance but I'm going risky with double crit trinkets for increased damage and crits but also parry chance
Problem with double crit, it's chance based on the survivability
Ur best option would be double eye trinket in both dealing with adds/bosses
Eye/eye being Rezan/Mythrax eye trinket
Problem is, it's not the best for damage but it's not the worst
Very middle ground
Yup, because of our passive Vanguard mainly
But also because how much of a strong steroid it is without looking at that
Increased parry chance, damage increase across the board, and if I recall correctly increase to our Ignore Pain
it does
gives AP
Problem with it, it's on use and some people have a hate/love with on use
ty for your advices guys, i start in war tank
The best advice I can give, don't worry about stats. Learn ur dungeons first
it is 90sec as well, the worst CD :C
Yup, it doesn't align well with Avatar
Anyone know if BoM will be better than Treacherous Covenant?
raids or mplus?
TC is the raid trait?
one of the raid traits
If so, depends if it has the uldir RA style buff
95% it does not
It probably has a chance, if it's not competiting with BoM, u can have It and BoM for a lot of damage
I would go BoM
If it's either or, Same
You can't beat increased crit block
Two BoM traits I have: 46% crit block chance with it
So BoM i guess
Yeah but we are only looking at it from a dps perspective
BRM's mastery is useless for Thrash.```
Swole PatrolToday at 2:21 AM
I mean so is ours.```
Crit block is overrated
😉
i mean it really isn't
To which statement
prot warrs useless on thrash
Oh yeah aregument after and etc
What about our mastery is useless on thrash?
reduces EHRPS, that's not useless
Unreliable and useless are two different things
yup
Warrior is definitely the best tank for both options in terms of pure mit, Monk is almost as good, but Monk loses more doing Thrash since their Mastery is now useless in doing so.
How is Warrior's Mastery useless for Thrash? It's blockable.
Swole PatrolToday at 2:22 AM

RNG
=
Useless
I disagree with Swole Patrol
Well yeah that was the argument
Wait Monkas can't Dodge thrash?
