Same, quite often I'll ask if they can hear me, that far away on the damage meters when I avatar
I've seen no less than 5 DPS scream at the healer for dying on the heartsbane triad in WCM when their death logs showed 150k+ hits from aura of dread.
Hey whats the best talents to chose for warrior?

All of them
My favorite is getting yelled as the tank because a dps fucked up in a way that got me killed
@inner crest might i refer you to #268491842637660160 or to the pins like Censuras said (icy veins guide)
But, that's not allowed ๐คท
sure
I judge DPS players on one metric - when you screw up, do you blame someone else or yourself? Most of them fail that.
I guys i want to start using proct as my off-spec but i have some doubts
All doubts are warranted but will fade when you start.
I know there is a stats priority but there is something like a haste or vers cap?
also have you read our Icy veins guide? perhaps the answer to your questions are there
Let me set your mind at ease. When you spec prot, you can't get dazed while doing world quests.
That guide will take 10 mins to read.
Yes i did
There's no stats cap, and the stats are pretty similar for us. Ilvl > all, but on an equal ilvl item we prefer haste.
gotcha
iLvl > all
there are no caps
don't sacrifice ilvl over any stat
do not overvalue haste for whatever reason
Only exceptions being 5-10 ilvls (slot dependent) for sockets
For examplw
I have 415 gloves with mastery+crรญtic or 385 with haste vers i me go 415 anyway?
ilvl > all
Yup. The only situation where you'd ever drop ilvl on an item is a socket. And then, only 5-10 ilvls.
do you understand why ilvl is important?
Ok so my vers is going to dissapear xD
that's 30 ilvls worth of Armor + Stamina + Strength
so what?
secondaries are not as important
And more than that, they're of very similar value.
Dude 30 ilvl is huge
do not overvalue secondaries
I think go back to guide and give it a thorough read.
your versa %, your mastery % do not matter to us, equip the highest ilvl
Its very straightforward.
It's so straightforward it makes people want to confirm.
Ok i am main fury and main stats are shit for fury but in prot are very important
Ok perfect so i can go 400ilvl
๐
And not 387 i am wearing now
please do hah
yikes
Easier xD
Your fury gear is most probably not optimized too.
If there s 13 ilvl gap
In between btw
that same applies to weapons and shields
huh so you can use flask and the cologne from the love fool event both at the same time
One more thing i tried to tank a m+ but looks hard for me to have all pull agro
yup ive been using them since last week
Huh
100 str
Do those persist in instances? haven't had a chance to test this week
That i had too oswolrf.
Have u tried pressing Thunder clap/
Use thunderclap on cd
Aggro single mobs that attack the others with taunt and shield slam.
You do like 16k AoE DPS if ur remotely at your keyboard
holding aggro shouldnt be an issue
If you're running with DPS who outgear you, you're gonna have a thing where you lose aggro when you don't have avatar.
agro is the easiest thing we manage
It sometimes is when you are outgeared by 10 ilvls.
Ok
Also make sure u donโt overcap rage and dump appropriately
So you need to take advantage of the extra threat mod during taunt's dur ation
But you said you will be 400
You should have avatar up most pulls
skittish is like a non-existent affix for us
And remember you can refresh taunt by heroic leaping if necessary
Should not be a provlem
๐
If you canโt hold aggro with avatar idk what to tell u
if he cant hold agro with avatar, he needs to read the guide
and his talents
there's a very specific talent
you don't have avatar every pull
Lets be real
I didnt use avatar in every single pull xD
If you're dropping aggro as a warrior
called UNSTOPPABLE FORCE
you should be using avatar on cd
uhhh...
This is a tank-demanding week, yes.
Not a good excuse๐๐
you can start any day, use sub 10 keys
xD
I went to tol dagor
you should start any time, you will eventually see the combination of affixes
TD is rough this week for unexperienced tanks.
Tried to kite
have you tried stunning, and heroic leaping?
TD in general isn' the most forgiving place
You have to plan the sanguine patches very carefully so that you have a path to kite necrotic
But when heroic leaping i lose agro
it's cramped and ripe for mistake pulls
Oswolrf you are in eu i suppose
you shouldn't be using agro
you'll have a much better time with 13 more ilvls
Y Eu
Add me so u can heal your dungeon. Letโs test together
That said, if you're having severe threat issues, some addons can also make it easier to tell what you need to do - like omen, or threatplates
He takes the agro all time
feel free to log the run, so we can see what you did wron ๐
That will not be an issue when you put your 400 gear on.
if you have a DH 18 ilvls higher than you, you're gonna have a bad time on threat when avatar's not up.
and correct you guys
Stream it!
Good idea but i cant today
Which you use for take logs?
huh?
what
Sorry for my english i know is terrible
a trick ive found when tanking for dps that overgear me is to have a focus target macro
Sounds good
generally theyโll pull not on their AoE alone, but their AoE + their ST on their current target.
being able to snap those guys back can make it easier.
@analog swift you can still pull double in +17s
Necrotic is thea biggest offender this week
Really depends on dungeon
Triple pulls depend on comp
Of you have a boomkin for example
Gotta pull bigger than
Maybe itโs because I started pushing explosive or bolstering weeks
Side bar
Its 2019
IS it too much to ask for DPS to hold CC and kicks till after Painful Motivation casts?
It is too much to be able to find the dps who really gives a shit.
i just say don't be a retard
and usually they aren't
there's always 1 or 2 that are
I say dont be a retard and they take that as permission to be a fucking chimp
๐๐๐
bull you need to be more alpha
what would you guys use?
try yogurt + coffee, for alpha-ness
mostly for m+
yikes bandages... well at least someone had worse luck than me this week
forgot Stone gives main stat
hang on let me actually think
bandage 415, butcher 395 and stone 400. Sims said bandage and stone :p
sims are fake ๐คท
hehe
one sec
sims are still work in progress
i wouldnt touch those bandages though
ugh
clearly got em from chest so
it helps, sometimes ๐ but i like the stone, since i love spamming pots
that's way worse than getting the trinket i fed to the Scrap God
JK guys i didnt scrap it ๐ฆ
๐ฎ
im using it with the other trash trinket that i will scrap asap
as soon as s3 starts when i get actually good trinkets
so, stone and bandage? ๐ i dont raid at all for the moment ๐ฆ only 11-12 m+
There was this whole thing about how bandages is good on warrior due to how IP interacts with the shield
essentially it acts as a surrogate life total; bladesong knows the more details i was lurking at the time
I'm with nim; i hate bandage
All 3 are good options so if ur not married to the onuse; more crit = bigger claps, i say go with Alch + block
i go lazy mode and equip butcher ๐
Fuck bandage
guys one thing
best ilvl value aplies to rings?
Rings are flexible
thanks for the info guys ๐
But do not sacrifice too much ilvl on them
Thank you ๐
Stamina is still a stat
i have 2 rings 410 with vers/haste
โค some love in here!
do you have any 415s with mast crit?
y
use 415
cause u take those
@crisp egret โค
gloves
He means rings
and what about trinkets i only have dps trinkets xD
If you have to ask; just follow that
Farm atal
Dps trinkets are good
there are situations where you can use your jewlery to optimize a bit; but if you're at the point where it matters; you know what you're doing anyways.
i have 415 trinket from pvp (give me 900 vers if i use)
Why do you keep mentioning versa though
Versatility is kinda meh for m+
I think the only Defensive trinket worth it is the diamond from oppulence
Ageee
Do not overvalue it
i think
Yes bull
Vers is good in SotS :^)
Well I suppose so
Vers in good in general
verse is dope whenever Attack isnt 60%+ of the damage u take
youโre a crazy person
Since so many casters
๐
Mastery is better otherwise ๐คท
Your face is a crazy person guilfart
hmmm
idk if I want more mastery since I have over 2k during avatar
Uh oh father Thyme woke up
thats why i stack crit haste :^)
triple 415 bom op
:o
I would rather stack crit over vers or mastery
22% party
Yeah

I wouldn't disagree with the crit thing
To clarify for ppl lurking You stack Item Level
right now i am 22% haste 11% critic 26% mastery 10% versa
And that's the correct way guil
so i need to improve critic?
no
u need to improve ilvl
we here can stack stats because we play the game enough to have a lot of items with the same ilvl
ilvl>haste >[situation specific]
for example haste+versa or haste+mastery
Haste is good in most situations
Mastery is really good against blockable damage
etc
if ur not taking blockable damage it is
They also explain vers excels against caster mobs.
reason why verse and mastery are generally equal
๐
:^)
If i were to describe Mast and verse i'd call them viable
I have low mastery and versa, so am i unviable?
is ur ilvl high?
๐
I heard prot warriors donโt need to swap talents in bfa, but has anyone considered Ravager this week for the extra parry?
Haha
๐คฃ
๐ฆ

ravager is never an option, period.
I expected this reaction
Here it comes
Dont insult these lovely people with ravager.
50% party
the slight parry it gives for the occasional duration is nothing compared to the massive benefits of AM
You even had marok typing.
parry is unreliable, not something you want to put your life into
im always sad
unlucky
is it
I mean the idea is that we use parry to slow Necrotic stacks; not for the mitigatino it provices
Yeah AM is too good... Iโm just struggling with necrotic this week
kite more
Like I get it; AM is still just way better defensively AND offensively
Looking for options
Ur option is Crackling Thunder or Bounding Stride or Safe guard
I think thats the only tier i change
But you're not slowing them enough for it to be particularly relevant; unless you were slowing their rate of application so much that your stacks would reliably drop off whilst tanking (but naturally that is not the case)
I change storm bolt
@modern brook No, Vers is strictly better than Mastery on average until ~85% of incoming damage is blockable, where Mastery becomes slightly better. But Mastery is also not completely reliable/consistent, so you have to take that into account as well. So yeah generally you can just say that Vers = Mastery but I would say in most situations Vers is going to be slightly better.
you said vers is better if you're not taking blockable damage
Thatโs good to know
well regardless Vers > Mastery in most situations
ty marok :^)
i know it's fight dependent, but rule of thumb: how much shield block uptime should a tank have on a boss fight?
that's too fight dependent to have a solid rule of thumb for honestly.
Beyond "not sitting there clearly having it off CD but not using it"
If it's below 40% it's a sign of a problem though probably.
Would you guys pick a 2nd deafening crash or 1st brace for impact? I'm leaning the dc for damage, but wondering if the bfi is worth it defensively. I really only do m+ on this character.
I guess I also have the other option of a 2nd iron fortress.
Yea, I have DC on my chest and am picking between helms
Yeah definitely Iron Fortress then
Cool, thankya
M+ IF is better, bfi is better in raids pretty much
how come prot is so high on leaderboards for m+ right now- is it avatar-aoe-burst on reaping doing it?
or just all-round doing well right now
Doing all-around well, reaping is a very prot-friendly affix, and the recent buffs mean there's a renewed interest in actually pushing the class to see how it does.
how long till nerfs amirite
heck, i wouldn't be surprised if there in a changelist somewhere already.
but will be phrased as a "rebalancing the power distribution of the kit"
Eh, we know they're coming eventually. Just enjoy it while you can!
Is Plague of Fire meant to hit melee on Rasta
Already working on the dudu for the warrior nerfs
any tips for rastakhan mythic? i feel like im dead almost all the time it hits like an absolute truck
I half-expect some awfulness like "To make ravager more competitive, anger management now no longer effects Avatar"
wait, like you're working on a guardian?
Tofu a furboi now
Can anyone tell me what this weeks freehold setup is please? ๐
eudora/jolly
Great, thank you.
eh
BomB ๐คข
Dusted off my old Prot warrior.. transferred him to Thrall when the server opened.
its on my arms set
thought I would try it again
that shit spawns all over the place lmao
so unreliable
EXACTLY
Literally on one of the biggest pulls
The bombs went on the far dude
Hit like 3 mobs only
Tilt
414.94, jesus
A thing of beauty
I know sanguine and necrotic management are our job, but how wonderful when the DPS and healer are mindful of it and use their tools
between MW's rop and boomkin's treants
I had little issue doing underrot
"sorry can't treant too busy mass entangling these in the sanguine"
I mean, if you have a monk or a druid, I would say that it becomes part their job too. Though if the druid is dumb, I'd rather they not use treants and have trees tanking shit in sanguine lol
I mean if hes already mass entageling them there might as well drop treants too
Add insult to injury lol
during avatar in ST does shield slam have prio over thunderclap?
of course
even if survival isnt an issue?
No idea, I dont have shield slam on my bars
Only tc
So I think Tc is priority over all
Well if I dont have it then i cant press it
it doesnt for me tbh
that doesn't make any sense
why wouldn't you have SB up?
it should hit harder in ST without it up anyway
Lol
it also... generates rage, which you absolutely need to activate AM
which in turn reduces avatar cd
so indirectly its doing more for you offensively than just straight up damage
shield slam does not hit harder than thunderclap on ST with avatar and no SB
for me
He said during Avatar btw. TC definitely hits harder than SS with no block during Avatar.
yea thats why i asked if it has prio during avatar
i mean
During avatar i tc over SS
one target yea
but I definitely weave in the SS
but on 2 targets you TC every other GCD
8144, 9920. SS with block and TC in Avatar btw.
yup
TC does have prio during avatar, i'd say yeah
Just checked myself
well I run bfi
Had to verify
I would probably wait the gcd while I TC
if you're not actively tanking, youre probably not SBing anyway
during avatar i suppose
its complicated enough, this is why sims are still WiPs
well if having SB up for juicy SSs then i might as well
yes but you don't wanna just recklessly use SB when a swap is coming for example
I got 28k SS crit
๐ฎ
hnngh
so sexy
I could be using BoM+IF but I am using BfI+IF because going for BoM is a 200dps downgrade for fury
and I main fury in raids
Furrie
my name in details is Battleshout
His guild probably already has tanks
Prot or not is the name of the app im writing rn
u just type the name of the prot warrior applying to ur key
and it checks it against the database of prot warriors i know
and returns yeah prob isnt worth accepting if its not there
well good thing ill always be accepted โค
I wonder if blizz is ever going to start making >2 tank fights for raids, makes the tank:healer:dps ratio wacky for m+ and stuff
Probably not
blizzard in recent years is taking note of success from games like LoL
and is trying to force a specific set up on all of its games
They used to do that but they've tried to keep comps consistent for a while now
^
And you see them doing similar balance changes to reinforce those today.
Sub nerfs come to mind
yeah
Funnily enough as it got easier for people to swap role between bosses the more they moved away from bosses requiring different #s of tanks
right, that's what's funny to me, would be fairly easy for one of our warriors of pallies to swap to prot for a fight
5 mans: 20% tanks. 10 mans: 20% tanks. 20 mans: 10% tanks. very sad.
I remember back in wrath how annoying it was to get a third tank for just the second boss in icc
Adding a 3rd tank doesnt really do anything; with current design
so, apparently blizz fixed the cyclone strike reflecting? if anyone has done it today successfully let me know. but from the looks of it, it seems to consume the reflect but doesnt do any dmg back. you take damage apparently.
I did it yesterday Des
IDK how recent that fix is
I dont have logs so idk if i actually delt the damage
yeah, but a hotfix went out last night too, so it might have been included
but i didnt get chunked
Need some hero to go test it solo on a 0. Or does that still happen on heroic/lower?
im testing it in heroic right now and so far 0 for 5
reflect is getting eaten and im taking dmg
but no dmg reflected
if you have details! you can look at reflect dmg too if its done successfully
Going back to reflecting jolt like savages.
not kicking jolts ๐ค

Well what else are you saving reflect for now?
20% DR on the peel
static shock for dr if you need it. or gust if you're targeted
you crazy high key people with your damage mitigation needs
ALRIGHT. I need advice. I just rolled a 420 Stonemason's Guild Band(268 Crit 226 Mastery) and currently wearing Zanalari Seal(with cape bonus) and Band of Multi-Side Strikes both at 400. Should I straight up go for the ilvl ring?
Seems like a clear-cut replace the Band of Multi-Side Strikes
Quick quiz - how many of you can name the pieces of gear you're using... other than your trinkets and perhaps your weapon/shield
does it count if I look at my armory profile first
Hehehe what do you think? :P
I imagine many might have a clue what it drops from...but I wanna know how many can name the item
I look at the secondary stats it gives me, not the name of the item
Gear's so forgettable these days, with a dozen options per slots due to mythics.
I can name my pulsing veins because it's bis for fury and good for prot
also my ring of questionable loyalties
Yep- guess that's kinda what I was thinking of there :)
sea swell pauldrons I think are my legs?
no rip
other name for boots of rampaging elements as well
armor names are so long
i know my weapon is โnot a mythic oneโ and both my trinkets are โnot from mekkatorqueโ
I can just about manage weapon and shield, and trinkets, but otherwise... :S
@potent anvil it doesn't work if cyclone strike targets you
it also doesn't work if the other dude lands a nuke while SR is up
but that part should be obvious
paging @outer dew
i honestly haven't tested it since before yesterday so it might be fixed
cyclone strike
it only works specifically
if they target someone else
learned it the hard way
lmao
Wait a minute what
i guess that should be in the guide notes
i told you this morning yamo
learned it the hard way
yeah
hmm, is that the case? still consumes reflect if its your own though so thats odd but oh well
i am
gotta clarify it on the guide
you need friends for that pepehands
super interesting
Any one who does high mythic plus
when do u start kiting for necrotic?
30
30+
Sometimes 40+
Depends on cds
But I also have a bop reset
So that helps tons
Bop and trees
still works, cant be your own. ๐
thanks @outer dew @lusty grotto

mhmm, np
still dont know why it consumes reflect on your own though. but oh well ๐คท


so i did a 17 KR last night and had trouble dropping stsacks cuz u cant slow some of those elite packs
how do u guys deal with it
the ones before the first boss
i think i was tanking the dudes fine but i think our grp comp was shitty cuz we couldnt get all the deadly chills
and it ust hurt alot with fort
im not sure i shoulda logged it
with 3 melee kicks (tank + 2 melee) you can get most if not all deathly chills if you rotate with the range and spell reflect
maybe eat 1 or 2
Alchemy trinket pog

ya i had double range 1 melee
but one range was a demo lock
so i think it was our comp
frost mage demo and dh
well yeah
and if people who outgear you massively are pulling threat, its possible its a gear thing, or they arent giving you time to pull
which the speed at which you can pull will come with practice
@lilac shard more dungeons, and honestly analyzing how you're playing
People can play badly for a long time if they don't make a focused effort to improve
everyone starts somewhere
the important thing is once you recognize an area for improvement, you work on it
in your case it sounds mostly like a matter of gear + experience tanking dungeons, both of which will come with more dungeon running along with other avenues of gearing (wqs, LFR, etc)
@lilac shard this was my first expansion doing mythic plus. I've done a total of 500ish mythic+ dungeons across 3 characters. I would say my first 100 dungeons were "bad". You learn a tremendous amount just by repeating the dungeons now.
Basically, step 1 is play the content a bunch. Step 2 is always be critical of yourself in a productive way. Dont ever dismiss a key as someone else's fault. Always ask what you could have done to make it better
Remember that even if you aren't the BIGGEST problem in a key you still can learn from it
Good players learn from successful runs or runs someone else messes up too
Just to echo this: youโll always have something you can work on in a run. If itโs pull speed, rotations, cooldown management, missing interrupts, positioning, etc., thereโs always something.
Unfortunately, tanks are kinda in the spotlight since we control the pulls, routes, mobs. That means that itโs also way more visible when we mess up....that doesnโt mean that Jimmy DH isnโt missing 80% of his interrupts...
Key to a strong tank is to be able to mitigate the rage in and outside the game ๐
hello , i have a rezan 400, a jes 410 and a diamond 400. What is the best setup for M+ ?
take a step back and look for small things to improve, even if its one thing
Nothing like getting frustrated / overwhelmed to make you mess up
Yep. Stress is the worst affix
rezan+diamond in general
@lone vector if you like using Jes, itโd be that and rezans. If you want the survival boost, Iโd drop the Jes for diamond
rezan+jes this week
yeah diamond stinks this week cuz of necrotic ๐ฆ
so i keep rezan and i swap jess/diamond with the affixes ?
no caps
100% haste is when the GCD get's to 0.75 so I guess that is a soft cap
but I would guess you are not close to that
also, you just equip highest ilvl anyway
not even close
if you have 3xOP, 1 gismo from eng helm, rezan's and a full blown quick nav
yeah
you get capped
Heya folks, quick question if you don't mind: Should I be prio'ing IP when fighting casters + Melee or SB? Just tanked King's Rest and the Mob groups with casters ate me alive.
spell reflect, pummel and shockwave should help you there
also storm bolt
blocking like 2-3 attacks will give you more damage reduction than a whole IP
Block is better in nearly all situations, excess rage goes to IP. Well timed spell reflects and aggressive use of shield wall help a lot vs casters
also a good group
I usually hit shield wall about when avatar drops and hypothetically you have demo shout after that's over
Assuming you did avatar plus demo on opener
Grand, thanks for the advice guys.
Do you folks pref Storm Bolt over Rumbling Earth?
depends on the situation
for M+?
rumbling earth generally
raids it can vary, e.g. stormbolt was fairly useful on g'huun for hitting the lil' tentacles
most top guys use storm bolt
and there's generally less AoE stillyness in raids, certainly none that justify using up stun DR vs. others
also depends on group I guess, if you have a pile of AoE stuns in your group rumbling earth just means more DR for them
(it's also worth noting that the dps meta has revolved around BDK tanks until REALLY recently, and they don't have an AoE stun)
Most of the time its rumbling. Storm could be more useful this week
I've switched to storm bolt and use it 24/7
I find it EXTREMELY useful to have another ST interrupt/stun vs a wide variety of things
Because stunning one for positioning rather then all of em yiur dps kill em and drop puddles ofshit
storm bolt is almost always the better option
You dont use storm bolt on pull. You use it against things that would stand still and cast anyway.
Like for example maggots and death speakers in underrot.
long stuns on high value magic casters is.... pretty great
Yeah may have just sold me
Plus it lets you carry groups in certain situations that otherwise require coordination.
I dunno for this week tbh, kinda a mix for me
if you don't have a coordinated group the aoe stun + leap will help with clearing stacks
This week is probably the best argument against stormbolt and I'll still run it in most cases
I guess yeah if you're in a pure pug with like spriest mage ret pal or something I'd consider rumbling earth
if you have a coordinated group and can ring or AoE stun in to a leap or something prolly better
But like I'd also consider just killing myself instead of waiting for the dungeon to get to it in that case
you guys think i should use like 395 gigavolt and 385 jess howler or 400 refracting prism and 405 bwamsandis bargain?
is vial 415 with socket good?
also, once i'm 400+ and have a good amount of stats, does the balance really matter? ie should i use a 400 haste vers weap over a 410 crit mas? I mean im sitting at liuke 8-9% vers and between 16-19% crit and haste no matter what i wear so im wondering if its best to just put on all my highest ilvl stuff
I mostly like storm bolt because I want the option of a ST stun rather than using shockwave. Also more control over certain trash mechanics.
even trinks? cos like i have the bwomsandi and the refracting but imean i dont take enough damage to realllllllllly need them so i feel like using my jess howler or knot of ancient fury and my gigavolt seem to be better... or is the base strength bonus from using 400 and 405 over 385 and 395 jsut better?
You should probably use the 400 trinket because its disgustingly good (in non neurotic weeks)
like my defensive trinkets are 400 and 405 and my offensives are 385 and 395 so less strength but the equip: is actually worth it as opposed to the stupid bargain or something
Bobsalami bargain is garbo
@remote tusk VERY good
@quasi yacht use gigavolt+jes this week
All other serious weeks use giga and diamond
no i didnt really specify
Giga+diamond
If you ever die in hc, all your healers are asleep probs
Or afk
Or you did something terribly, terribly wrong
Generally youโd move channels lol
But I dabble a smidge in it
What do you wanna know
@quasi yacht
Which of these trinkets would you guys recommend?
Diamond-Laced Refracting Prism (400ilvl)
Ancient Tuskarr Sea Charm (385ilvl)
Xalzaix's Veiled Eye (380ilvl w/ socket)
Awesome, thank you!
are there any traits we stack as Prot?
Anything is fine to stack except DC really. A lot of people stack BoM
From what perspective? M+, raid? Damage, survival?
m+ atm
I'd take the third BoM. BfI loses value in M+ because you cast SS less in AoE
ok ill give that a try and see how it feels. thank you
how much haste do you need as prot warrior before other 2ndary stats become more important? i have 1.7k haste rn, cant seem to find much info on the internet
@sick sentinel what trinckets are you runing?
basically none, got the pvp vers one and the ilvl 400 one fron the wolrdboss that gives crit on activation
yeah, 394 eq, its an alt tho
ok from what ive been doing 1.8k to 1.4k if you take the haste trait. ive been stacking verse at 1.5k haste as it scales a lot better since the haste talent puts you at 40% before trincket
yeah with haste talent i get to 43% or something if i have 4 ppl around me
thanks a lot ๐
all the guides say to stack haste like no tommorow, but if you can play comfortably stacking vers and mast make your aoe damage insane
Haste helps your damage aswell
yeah, i got a lot of crit sadly, since i prioritized haste over almost anything but good ilvl
Theres no real downside to it
and most things gave me 2nd stat crit
well no m+ anymore for me this week, + 10 was enough considering the affixes
Wdym
not to difficult , just hate to play with em
well ty guys, and have a good night , im going of to bed
hi im new into mm+ tanking, is there a list of all the abilities you cant reflect ?
can*
hey ya'll i have a 410 rezan/350 jes/355 blockade/380 BRB/385 ritual of ak. which 2 would be best? jes+rezan?>
BRB?
big red button
ah
@ivory barn No matter what run the Rezan's, and then for survivability I'd run Blockades until you get a higher ilvl Howler or Opulence trinket
Alrighty, Thanks a bunch!
@ivory barn ritual feather is basically one extra BoM macroing it with avatar is good
maybe this was asked but I dont wana scroll up 500 new messages, what tallents this week? ๐ for necro
same as always
Is it worth it to stack BOM 3x if I'm just raiding or are there other prefered setups for raids?
can alchemy trinket titanforge? or socket?
I dont believe crafted can WF/TF or Socket or gain a tertiary.
ik blacksmithing stuff can go from 300-310 and can craft the 340 pieces
dont know bout that trinket

any tips for tanking bwomsamdi on mythic rastakhan?
well this is literally my first night on it, we down opulance and conclave this week. we got max 10 pulls on KR. im having problems doing the bwomsamdi tank in p2, we dont have a pally tank
@inland mesa
3x bloodsport and ignore that pain
anyone getting some spiky frame lag with khakhan prot WAs all of a sudden?
Neg
@timber nest we tank swap, I last stand everytime I'm leaving bwonboi and taking rasta, I shield wall going into bwonboi, I start on him in p2
Tried deleting, restarting WoW, then reimporting?
also get iron bark on every swap to rasta
We retracted this release since there is a performance issue with it. Please revert back to 2.11.3 in the meantime https://t.co/DSPGOI9iUb https://t.co/mkrTDr8z51
might be related to that if you've updated WA
So I just finished the raid for the night, did they change Grong in Mythic? I feel like I can cast my abilities much faster then before
Was able to get a SW off much faster then last week even if the throw is a short distance
yeah probably
@inland mesa hmm, im having to use last stand just to stay aliove while tanking rastakhan...
Some people are telling me to run Treacherous Covenant over BoM.. Is it really worth it or are they trolling?
more armor and probably dps in raids, where the damage taken increase from TC is virtually nonexistent
it's a bit riskier in M+, and stacking mastery can make your avatar dps extra spicy in keys
So for keys primarily I should run BoM?
i would, at least if you plan to push or do high keys
@timber nest max melee range him and your healers should be able to range you without going in
Alright. Thanks @open bluff
3 BoM for M+ if you're lucky enough to have it
Got 2 BoM and one Bloodsport
1 DC and what other 2?
@shut summit thanks tich prot bro, that was the issue with my WAs in the end
1 DC and 2 IF
have a really good setup then
guilds making me play my BDK for high tinker, i don't like this idea
do you only have 1 DK, grips are ridiculously useful
other tank is a DK already
Insist on staying Warrior then?
you want two DKs total to help with grips, or you have 1 and then you have to knock back chain the 2nd one every time which is ugly last phase
but one DK can be dps, tehy don't both need to be tank
we don't have a frost/uh
i know the grips are useful, i just feel like my armor is made out of beachballs on my DK
my cotank is a DK lol
can you range the bleed for kimbul
havn't tried it yet, but the engi helm can remove a stack of it if it procs
Does the item from Valentine's event remove necrotic stacks?
Or is it just cosmetic
I'm struggin with necrotic, new-ish to prot warrior. Any tips? was doing a KR and didn't have much room to kite so it was a shitshow.
What area of KR was a struggle?
You are killing basiclly everything in your way so not having room to kite doesn't sound right.
how many stacks did you start to kite at
u have all the room u want in kr
whats the script of the macro to charge the person that your mouse cursor is over
tried to look it up, but its late
Group wasn't super geared, so things were living for a while. When it started to be rough, like 15-20 stacks I'd try to kite.
nice timed a 15 shrine ๐
granted it was close as we ended with 99.7% and ported back which puts you outside, ran in and it puts you at the 3rd boss so we had to run and grab something from bridge lol
@upper spoke /cast [@mouseover] Charge
Sup guys
Can you spell reflect 2 of the tornados in Temple?
si
There was a discussion about this. And i think u can reflect all but u need to be in a presise position
Actually race changed to iron dwarf from human. The 1% pdmg reduction is nice and the necrotic reset is just a cherry
And Conclave resets & Reaping resets
True though I don't raid mythic and don't really need the reset on HC. Also got the the eng helm. Never feel the need to reset reaping
You will feel it when your healer is dead.
Why would the healer be dead though
Cause everyone mongs from time to time.
Guess my healer is just that good then :p
๐คท
Though he will die to the most random shit every so often
When you pull another pack with reaping it can get messy. ๐คท
True true
it is fine on non-nectrotic
can a few people send their sims? just to look off of, getting started w/ prot warrior, aiming for m+ type builds
i mean like azerite builds, talent builds, trinkets to look out for maybe
Also, the dream is finally true.
mwahi is meming
๐
you want 3xBoM, 1DC and then either 2 IF or 1 IF and 1 BS, depending on level of keys
if you have engineering hat you can give up 1 BoM for the gismo trait
Grong down ๐ค
Gz
gz puzzle!
@icy trench as I was saying, do not expect any answers from questions that are in the guide, I am assuming that you have read both the icy veins guide and the FaQ in #268491842637660160
skimmed through it, thought i'd give the chat a chance
@sick sentinel You know what they say about when you assume ๐
ghash, NO
๐ โค
asses
the guide is very very good and it is a very gold idea to read it before asking any questions
like the talent build
@icy trench
It's the same as every class discord
Just read the guide and faq
Then ppl wont shit on you
It's a good general start and if you have any questions that sent answered there ask here :D
I didn't shit on him
well if I was in a bad mood I would have dismissed him but you are correct
I know other discords where they would nearly ban you if you ask smth that's answered in the guide/faq
Pala Discord when CoF was released/nerfed for e.g.
What a shitshow it was
And lock discord depending on the time you ask
HEY, my paladin is 379..my warrior is 405 now.
Haven't even taken the pally into BoD yet.
๐
i know HoW isn't exactly the most friendly but i 100% highly doubt one was banned because of a question
Does anyone know the CD for Prismatic Image on Jaina?
..no but...DBM does.
Yeah but I am goofing around at work and cant check in-game.
Have you guys stopped to consider what might be happening with Nelly? I'm worried his career might not be making the upswing I thought 2019 would bring. ...I really need another 'hot in hur' and 'airfurce one' in my life.
Who is nelly? @fringe marten
It seems reasonable. I was guessing around 0:40 - 1:00 CD. Thanks @ionic fern
Every discord's endgame is, to create guide comprehensive enough, so they dont have to answer class questions, and just meme and shitpost 24/7. This discord achieved it 200% ๐
