Sorry I was mistaken, you CAN reflect stacks, I Just happen to win RNGesus ire and have my SR knocked off by a fucking add casting at me three times in the pull
That's...ridivulously unlikely
So my grp cannot kill last boss in UR12
the healer keeps dying
and we are overrun by adds
we had 8 mins on the timer when we came to him
fml
just solo it 4head
UR Last boss literally prot warrior soloable
You shouldn't have died
L2Tab 4VR
You dont eve have to tab
Spec CT - never take damage
LIteral best part of UR tho
is how nice and grouped the last reapin wave is
when you TP down
So, taking advantage of the topic
What procs and doesn't proc Victory Rush?
I have meant to ask that some time, as some mobs proc VR in dungeons, and others do not
did your group know to ignore adds and just nuke boss?
Do people actually waste dps kn the ads still?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA kill me missed the timer on 15 shrine by 18 seconds fml
Better than the time I missed a timer by literally a second
Y u no 👢 🍵 👏 harder
Late quit being shit cmon
Late if this were sparta I'd have thrown you off the cliff
You know the eels on the last boss room right
"Defective baby, can't timer 15s"
If you have a dh
Living up your name thers late
And the dh double jumps while he has aggro on some of them
It fucks up the pack and all of them evade
yes
Because of that
But what if you could just bring a class that doesn't regularly fuck up
If its gota Hunt in the name, I treat it like ketchup, I'll take the other brand please.
We dont have any rogues in our guild that actively do m+
just did an atal 10 farming rezans
and trying out bonded souls
it had 44% uptime
Uptime for mAh dick maybe ayyyyyy
Sorry it's been rly cold here my brain is thawing
Whats the addon that announces your successful interrupt in party chat or w/e?
ELVui does it for me
Hmm yeah thats what I see but I dont use that so I was trying to track down the addon that does it
Unless its just something built in
Darn
Fast question about elvui, how do i make it so whenever i intterupt something it will announce it in the chat? I heard elvui have option to do it?
you can google it, there were a ton of replies to how to do it lol
I hate addons like that tbh
Why
Theres weakauras that announce interrupts aswell
Seems ok for pugging M+ with no voice
There are other weakauras that show whos interrupt is on cd etc
And usually if i pug with no voice comms i just save my interrupt for the last
is the ring and back from BoDa worth it?
if they are your higher ilvls sure
the haste is worse then my rings i have on atm
i wanna go fast boi
U WANNA GO DED BOI
ok i go ded 😄
@storm crow I’m late to the party, but from my experience the best way to handle that boss is have group stack on you (in front). You face the boss towards the patches of stuff on the ground. 50% through his cast, everyone runs through the boss. You drag him till there is clean space behind, then turn him 180 to face the spew again.
In reality, you don't sacrifice ilvl going from haste to haste
if its like 5 ilvls crit vers vs haste (whatever)
than mebbie
This puts you close to the blobs for tclap and Minimizes spray all over the room
THe issue is
folks like to stand in volcano
cause that affix on that boss
You'll think your in hawaii
Yeah, volcanic does get out of hand later on.
I do all blob slaying for 1/2 the fight then ask range to help to keep volcanic in check
whataday
man i ran a UR last night
cant remember if 13 or 12
i pulled ticks before 1st boss room
had an hpal
didn't bop
i said "no bop :,("
guy got hella mad
"you save bop for this room" im like wut
"stuns exist for fixate"
"im done talking to you"
yikes
wiped us on last boss on purpose so we didn't time it
"you never pull ticks"
I usually warn healer if I’m pulling any ticks
I've never seen someone save bop for the fixate
Hi...should I hold Shield Block if I have Ingore Pain active and vice versa?
No, generally speaking Ignore Pain is used in addition to Shield Block. i.e. you want to keep Shield Block up as much as possible whenever you're actively tanking something. And then as Rage allows, use Ignore Pain on top of that.
Without overcapping either rage or IP
@lusty grotto why you need bop?
is the azarite traits we want for M+ still the ones in the Resources tab?
Yeah. There are M+ specific rankings for the prot traits in the Icy Veins guide as well.
Icy veins
okey
Def the way to go
the resource tab azerite traits are based on before we got the 2nd spec ring though, I think
Is Vial good or should I spam tol'dagor for jes ?
currently rocking with rezan/vial
Rez vial is good
Jes is more for your team
Since they gain the versa
You get yours too
just got rezans 400+s+leech
also my luck from the 1st boss BoD on mythic... chest + coined shield
I would use the knot with the rezan
@fierce juniper 👋
👋
@undone sun 👋
If you have SB up (and no charges), and also IP up and capped - better to cap rage or just IP and 'waste' the absorb?
Revengr
With bloodsport, probably IP I suppose to maintain that buff I guess
If revenge has a proc active too
Then waste the ip
Hi in the Icy Veins it speaks about the 'correct' way of using last stand? Any info on what might that be?
I suppose it should be a niche case with little damage taken but enough targets/rng to get revenge proc
Okay- thanks
Dont wait for an oh fuck moment @hasty pelican
Use it preemptively (is that a word?)
Well I was thingking to use it like in 35% health or something?
Ip will always give you some benefit
It's hard to really say using defensives is very much a case by case thing
@hasty pelican There's info on how to use LS with Bolster in the rotation page
You mostly use LS to fill SB gaps
Marok: Ah yes there is...didnt notice it actually. Thanks.
like you're taking a last stand?
toshkick
so toshick
@hasty pelican because I haven't posted it in a few days, example what IP + Block does together
@modern brook calls it B VALUE porn
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/148897941883584512/539514631761166336/unknown.png
only 93% smh
yeet
Co tank is like "let me know when you want me to taunt"
Y we do dat, help heal someone Pallyjim
xd
Theres a tank swap on opulence?
How good is Ramping Amplitude Gigavolt Engine compared to rezan´s trinket from atal dazar?
something about depleted diamond
apples to apples its on use
so you can "control" it I guess
all in all though
1 less button to press with Rezan's
it just sucks if it comes up while you have no SB charges on CD
which tbh isn't often in this raid
or in M+
item level disparity I feel its worth using
well we chain pull untill oom in m+ anyway so never 2 stacks of SB ready
Question: jainas ice shard, can you block or reflect it?
there are rumors that blizz buffed her autos
Yeah, definitely seems like they did
They did. Our pally was getting smashed. Healers told me my dmg was "super smooth" in comparison and I came so hard
Thank you @uneven mason
did they buff her auto's i was hearing someone say that but then they realized in heroic they were over the 25 player thing
guess we won't know until they realize the hotfix notes
ur just jelly
alliance scum
😢
ticks
???
ez tick pack
At the start of UR
with mongo worm
?
OHHHH
to the left
nimchipadin was raging
lmao i was like wat
lol
i should have streamed that run
guy was taunting shit left and right
agroed pack before mushroom boss reap
i was like ok fine ill just get loot
What should I be using out of these?
395 Ritual Feather 400 Rezan's 385 Butcher's block and 400 Alchemist Stone?

Prot is best dps spec
👢 🍵 👏
When the Warlock who normally tops our raid charts, refused to run with me all last season in M+, goes on a run with me and gets beat, he's all like "Whoa they really buffed warriors huh"
and I go

Been doing this all Xpac bro
and there it is
oldie, but a goodie
mac pic of the day
props to that DH
we know the DH story Censuras you need to keep up
410 lingering sporepods worth swapping for over 380 rezans or 385 big red button?
sporepods is trash but i had to replace a trinket with it, im sad
over BRB
deleting it asap
but muh missiles
fair enough
I ran with a destro lock yesterday. I was just like 👊🏼 brother

well
WELLTHEN
Leech and a socket. Grata on the trinket!
grats!
Not worth replies, Yamo on block now
rofl
🍆🍆
Titan forging is a good mechanic
👏
😡
🔞
Maybe cap titan forging at 15 ivls?
Looking at justwait's amory stats... hes at 1% versatility. Is that bottom barrel stat for raids?
@modern brook
Or is he trying to maximize dmg output for mythic
@lusty grotto fuk u
👢 🍵 👏
;clap:
damn it fucked it up
;c la p:
@deft socket you don't tend to bother with minmaxing stats as prot
@deft socket secondary stats are inconsequential compared to ilvl
^^
@deft socket ilvl > haste > the rest. Always take ilvl on everything haste prefered when yo can
like right now, I'm at 16% Haste, 27% mastery
Thanks for the replies
sorry forgot shifted some stats around. I'm at 15% crit, 12% Haste, 30% mastery
@modern brook
👏
mac is a fuckin liar 😠
yeah i agree
9% vers
Really similer to where im at @uneven mason
i think i have like 25% crit lol
i dont even know what im at
all i know is that my ilvl is way too low
30 pulls of grong tells me you cant
need that 400
the crush debuff doesnt last long enough
You can
even if you get 3 in a row
389 sigh 😦
it only affects the next cast
doesn't refresh?
(on heroic)
If theres one pull i know as prot its heroic grong
So I'm limited to my paltry 1million B VALUES?
Dont ask me about anything else
yes you are
@modern brook
😠
lul
but yeah @uneven mason on heoric Crushed only lasts 2.5 seconds
I believe the cast times for both bite and smash are 2 seconds
hang on it can stack actually you might be right
this web of lies...
The tool tip says it can
But it also says it lasts for 30 seconds
which is a flat lie
we got 2 triple smashes in this pull and you can clearly see it dropping
I know i took 2 smashes ina row once but idr where
I'll find it and let you know
is darkmoon still good compared to other trinkets in 400? defensivly ofc
I think it depends on the trinket
but at 385 ilvls start outweighing dakrmoon
I think once you're looking at 400 the q becomes "which trinkets are worse" ratherthan "which are better
ie: on the whole I'd take 400 over dmd
45 ilvls of stats is kinda big, imho
@robust bronze referring to blockades?
yes
iirc most defensive and stat trinkets like 385+ should beat it defensively
its not like fathoms is for dps
where it competes with 400 trinkets
The only real reason to run blockades at this point is if you need the stam to survive some mega hit
they really need to just up and remove ilvl from trinkets im ho
and there are ~none of those in BoD
and even then you could run some arguably trash trinkets like bwonsamdis' and zalzaix
if you want to survive a particular smash
Anyone know how that guild in China killed first boss mythic in 45sec?
Like what their strat was
single tank zerg if it was legit
So just adds on boss
yeah, just blow up the boss
Monk
its amazing for warriors
yar
i thought itw as basically prydaz
it's RP and IVs lovechild
A good raid trinket you say ?
@modern brook Yeah people have been getting some p good healing numbers out of it
Paladin cotank got a Bwansombi
Wow now he's a bad class with a bad trinket
@uneven mason What a sad trinket to get
paladins are pretty good
Chefs are good
I dont get i t
yes, chefs are fantastic
Am I doing it right
chef transmogs on Nimchip are trash
😿
keep your chin up, one man's trash is another man's treasure
TFW U PULL 45K IN A REAPING PACK AND THE DH GOES "MAN FUCK PROT WARRS"
imagine being a DH complaining about meters lol
imagine being a dh and doing less than 50k in a reaping pack
I got up to 96k during a reaping in the orb room on my rogue
the best part is that we've been like this since the begining of the xpac
CT spam 😮
and everyone is convinced we got a dmg buff
imagine if i was outlaw 😮
👢 🍵 👏
Peoples understanding of prot is non existent
people were like "we got nothing" in the update
Filmstrips literally had that convo like 2 days ago with a warlock who refused to run keys with me
Yay film
and suddenly we're the best tanks
and then he did a 11
and he's like "WAT THE FUCK THEY REALLY BUFFED PROT"
🤦
I won't link it again
"prots been busted since the begining of the expansion and yet here they are not getting nerfed in tuning passes" - some reddit post, probably
see, I just say "yeah they added this new spell called Thunderclap in 8.1"
Lol bull
I posted a twitch clip of my Blood DK straight massacring a warlock in my guild for meme'ing me and meme'ing prot
I mean
it was NSFW
kid basically shits on me for prot and my co-tank blood DK massacres him
dude needed a funeral
poor warlock
just threw that stupidity out there
and that DK just tee'd up on him
that tank respect
✊
what traits is everyone aiming to get for prot nowadays
What is this? Disney discord?
same as always!

stack 3 bastion, a brace, IF, and BS?
basically nothing has changed really
you want a DC if you can get it
Where's dc
oh ya sorry dc
dig the WA
3 bastion, 1 DC, 2 brace?
bastion is super good if you're in M+ a solid amount of time
So guys
other than that, yeah
ya mainly dungeonss orry
I hate to say it
sorry*
that's it
but Method is using us as meta
you on point then
was curious if there was a standout trait for dungeonos amongst the defensivess, outside of DC and Bastiono
not really
IF seems good for the damage
those are the main ones tbh
kk
jeez
IF technically scales better in M+ due to tons of auto's and less globals spent on SS
true
but like....not worth the brainspace to go back and forth on it
^
kk thanks guys
was just wndoering if reaping had shifted around priorities at all
get soe stronger st
ya true that lol
nope, just makes our strength (aoe destruction) more valuable
^
it makes us more attractive tanks
the flip side of that is you really need to know where the fuck your reapings are going to spawn
cause we cant grip or otherwise control them
^^^^
@uneven mason they swap to a war now?
so positioning super important
ahh
For dungeons I suggest triple Bom/DC or triple bom + DC +2x bfi
If we're talking 415 preferred loadouts
Justwait on the warr not sco btw @lusty grotto
Sco is benched ya?
he's on monk
RIP
yeah, it's brm/war now
no surprise
i just want to watch justwait
I think right now for jaina tanks it's about smoothing massive ice shard dmg
screw these other PoVs
we can block ice shards ftw
Ya
I know it's recommended to equip items based on item level but is there a range if something with a lower ilvl drops with a socket?
non-weapon
5illvls for armor peices, 10 for rings
i don't really know hwo to handle the stacks
reaping is an affix you should be handling outside the key imo
the debuff
🤔
the blue one
oh
idk its name
the stacks one of the assholes puts oono
don't think I've noticed
- dont stand in purple circles
^
- get healers to dispell it
i dont' even know how it works cause as dps i don't really deal with it

dispell
on some of them
guess my healer was just pog
like its not all your job
I'm assuming we're talking about the blue one
If you're getting the purple one
stop being a monkey and get out of the circles

okok
but most of that shit is avidable
canyou spell reflect grave bolt?
yep
but its an RNG target
huh til
stun that shit
last q you guys mind helping me pick rings and trinkets?
ivll
THIS GUY
ilvl
lol
i have lower ilvl stuff iwth avoidance
but chances are ilvl is going to be out answer as my astute colleague pointed out
take the higher
and some that are better itemized, with haste and such but others that are worse but higher ilvl
ilvl is better itemization
like really wanna stress that
i like discs and mchimbas bandage
If it's a 5 ilvl gap and you're going best stats + avoidance vs worse stats, it's arguable, but unless it's that blatant, nope
More overall stats > less overall stats
Knot and Syrnge btw
bandage is crapola
🍆
knot and syringe eh
Knot syringe
okok
Sinister Glad
Your best
is someb aller
is that the str one
i thought disc might have value in dungeons cause the dmg scales for trash and reaping
on use
is the glad on-use?
Ilvls are all 2ndary and stamina
its vers with str proc
ya what mactier said
its good
there's a glad one that has on use str that is solid
at that ilvl with socket
800 primary stat, and socket it's decent
i mean at 395
oh for sure
its really fuckng good
only due to ilvl
i'd revise and say: Glad + Knot
Whats the CD
pop knot with avatar, and demo?
yeah
knot will be up every avatar-ish
cd on the glad
Rings look like a pretty clean 400 orante + 395 commander's signet, regardless of socket on the 385.
procs for 20 sec, not sure what the internal is prob 1.5 if i had to guess
maybe 1min
ok ok
Ehhhhh
Id still go knot
what are the stats on the 390 socket?
arguably better than 395
I dont know them by name
it's 1.5 procs per minute
sockety ring
its only good cause of ilvl
1.5 is really good
as opposed to your other trinkets
basically ~400 str
so basically 800 str up 50% every min
Over how long?
these wack ass bustas calling it before gettin the deets
How is the eternal alchemist stone as far as trinkets go
it procs 800 primary stat for 20 sec
I noticed @shut summit has one equipped
wait didnt you say it proc'd versa?
checking logs for my dps raiding cause i use it, it has around 40-50% uptime depending on the fight
Alche trinket is solid
im confused
i think the alch trinket is one of our better ones
Very solid
no it has 183 vers stat
oh lach trinket
800 str proc
@lusty grotto i fucked up
they hard to come by? says that you have to learn it from making one
its verse stat w/ str proc
pretty easy Filmstrips
str proc is like 50% Uptime on another stack of Bloodsport
It's simple to make
@inner onyx you can read it as basically ~200vers + ~400 str
if you are alchemist just need 15 tidal core to make 385, 20 breath of bwon samdi to make 400
extra 2800 on your IPs
so if you have an on proc that gives more stats then that
Just need to farm dungeons
you replace it with that
makes sense @modern brook
(not accounting for socket)
but yeha Knot is amazing as a extra CD
😡
was using avoidance ring cause didn't know what was what
never clued in how strong knot could be
hoping to nab a 400+ knot on the next rotation
Im team korea now
They 8/9
hmmm
im team late
Actually in the race
Just kidding im always a sense fanboy
we are all sense boys
I like Travex and Deswind too
I think the 390 socket might be better than the 395
195 crit, 245 mast?
- 40 haste from socket
410 should be used on stamina alone
stop sucking up yamo
ornate is 249 crit, 209 haste. signet is 199 crit, 250 haste
Yamo
i've caught you
@inner onyx wait
i was reading and it said that its a random proc that you get the recipe
that you have to start with a tidal, proc the recipe for the 2nd, the proc for the eternal
is that right?
@inner onyx Hows your SB uptime
no
if its like the bs shit
you craft 1
you learn the next tier recipe automatically
SB uptime?
I aint suck nothin
like do you have problems maintaing shieldblock when you need it
uhhh i don't think so
Just mutual respek
i could improve
what about yogurt coffee though yamo
390 socket then
Yogurt coffee was a bust
YIKES
Nvragain
oh really? you only have to learn one?
hahahahaha
oh my god
it's generally mechanically failing at it, not lacking rage or charges or GCD speed

stop with the god damn yogurt coffee
bull triggering achieved
Yikes
S T E L L A A R T O I S
jesus christ film
i have a 380 thorwoven band too
youll summon paw
380 too low
150 haste, 272 vers ,+40 socket
its hard to sayy which is definitevely better between 390s and 395
craft 4, get 415
dank
fair
it depends a lot on your stat line
ty
yes film
i'll play around
Bullfango
stat line is 18.88% crit, 18.21% haste, 28.85 mast, 5.94/2.97 verrs. with 290.
our secondaries are very close; we only liek haste because its moreuseful in more situations `
Best nick
TUralyon
I am the best ty :^)
haste dips to like 17% with 395
I'll never be #1 cause fuckin Des ><
please don't list your stats
@inner onyx literally I just posted a screenshot of the only stat that matters
THe descussion is 390w/ haste socket or 395 ring
390w socket
word
they're close is the answer
i agree with mac
sockets on rings are 10ilvls
every other slot mebbie 5
I'd say 5 on cloak
and probably ~5 on armor pieces
mmhmm
I'd take a 395 w/ haste over a 390 w/o haste and socket
whatever, I'll wear a 395 over a 390 with socket
i lose about 3% haste tho, crit doesn't move much, mastery goes up 5%. i feel like losing the haste won't feel good. for a bit more mastery. but i am in dungeons only.
cause I go big numbers
^^^
once again
I'm tryna be BIG equipped
don't worry about your %
secondaries don't matter
well as fury i know the difference of how 17%~ haste feels vs 20%+~
its 90% of the answer
fury is something else
figured it would help offer an idea of teh tradeoff
I Mean, if you wanna feelycraft
and the last 10% wont make or break your key
we don't care about secondaries
But yeah, prot is literall a mongo wrapped in metal
gimme ilvl
we don't give a fuck, just hit me
