#

would be cool if haymaker was off DR lmao but that's too strong i guess

winter aspen
#

DID is just too good ovrl

#

Even the mole machine gained on value now they removed all the portals

warm girder
#

appreciate the discussion btw guy was nice to hear some feedback on what you guys think

#

guys*

neon tangle
#

I’d bet that DID letting you stay in melee longer without kiting would end up being more damage than the relatively small increase from LFD

warm plinth
#

For a prot warrior, probably, but hard to say. It is a lot of damage

warm girder
#

I agree @neon tangle but definitely need to take into the factors that necrotic is only during 2 weeks of rotation, by no question DID is the best thing available for those 2 weeks of weekly rotation, and from what i've seen through logs LFD racial can be a big chunk of overall damaged if utilized properly

#

I most likely will change to dark iron for just being better overall especially for necrotic and other debuffs, but LFD can definitely be strong for dps as well, was just looking to see what you guys think since blizzard is doing the sale right now so wouldn't be a bad time to change races

winter aspen
#

Wait so youre LFD rn ?

warm girder
#

nope been a human forever lol

winter aspen
#

Ah human sucks

#

Pvp race

warm girder
#

hahah yes

#

miss the old every man for himself

#

that was fun at least

winter aspen
#

Or if youre dps raider

#

That human spirit buff is strong

warm girder
#

wasn't too bad during mop and such having additional fear break etc on top of zerker rage was useful for certain situations and raid fights in which you might be cc'd

winter aspen
#

Emfh has like 1 use in m+

#

That I can think of

warm girder
#

yeah the old every man was awesome

#

now its really not that good lol other than maybe a stun from the stealth rogue packs?

winter aspen
#

Id take wotf over it now

#

Stun from jes also

warm girder
#

yeah that's pretty nice too and that's it haha

winter aspen
#

For 4 secs of extra dps lol

warm girder
#

its not bad if bobby pins you as a tank i guess and dps doesn't swap because #pugs

winter aspen
#

Yeah then its a lifesaver

warm girder
#

agreed, was used to having to use IBF for those situations when i played my BDK more since its usually the case..

#

(that dps doesn't switch to bobby especially non tyrranical)

distant crystal
#

did they fix the thing where you could just kick bobby

#

without killing the bubble?

#

like it would show as unkickable while the bubble up but kick would still work

winter aspen
#

No idea

stoic pilot
#

@distant crystal We did a TD 16 like 2 days ago and it still let us kick without breaking the shield.

warm girder
#

that's good to know, i usually pug and people don't swap or kick even with shield because of that cast being shown as unkickable

rugged berry
#

hi guys. for high M+ key what do you think is better between manor and tol dagor trinkets ?

distant crystal
#

manor

#

what's your other trinket?

mint adder
#

Butcher’s block this week for sure

umbral forge
#

How come there's no wow-analyzer for protection warrior

ionic fern
#

Sims/wowanalyzer etc are all done by volunteers from their free time and for now protection warrior doesn't have one for wowanalyzer.

#

Guys, Auto-self-cautirizer or Personal Absorb o tron as prot?

honest frigate
#

Absorbotron but cauterizer is good in KR

winter aspen
#

Hmm

#

And KR is the worst dungeon for prot right ?

sick sentinel
#

yo guys, anyone can give me tank Wa's of BoD please? thanks ❤

#

@rugged shale what do you mean you have doubts? Unless you’re going for pure damage don’t stack DC. Bloodsport is a good defensive trait, the only way you can say that it’s better than offensive traits is if you need defense however there are better traits for defensive value. Also if you have doubts you can always just see what the top warriors are running most of which are trying to run the recommended in #268491842637660160

sick sentinel
#

how well does leech scale on prot warr

chilly brook
#

As well as it scales on anything else

#

Aka don’t go out of your way to get it. If you have it nice but if you don’t you’re not missing out on much

astral crystal
#

some folks doing high keys are memeing it

#

and i think deswind talked about it not too long ago

#

it's good for mass pulls but it's an rng bonus

chilly brook
#

Everyone who does keys is a memer I swear lmao

astral crystal
#

in terms of acquisition

#

so dont ever find yourself thinking you need leech

chilly brook
#

It’s literally just a nicety

#

Won’t really do much of anything other than make your hps look kinda nice but nothing you couldn’t have already done with VR snipes on big pulls to begin with

sick sentinel
#

is it worth to drop 5 ilvl for it?

astral crystal
#

no

oblique garnet
#

Leech doesnt become worth until you have like 10% leech

ebon hound
#

worth or noticeable?

hexed sage
#

Any recommended prot video guides out there?

astral crystal
#

i would recommend feeling it out after reading some guides, get an idea of what the spec does and how it does it, then inquire specifics

#

prot is generally very simple with some minor intricacies

winter aspen
#

Like what to reflect

hexed sage
#

yeah thing was just that im almost 120 and wanted to have something to listen to

oblique garnet
#

@ebon hound worth

signal plover
#

I'd recommend listening to like recordings of thunderstorms honestly

light warren
#

Did anything changed for prot war after patch?

oblique garnet
#

No

light warren
#

Cool thx

distant cairn
#

wich stat prio i should have in m+ i got like 13% versa but i noticed a few of the best tanks now switch from versa to the other stat now they just got like 3-6% Versa atm

knotty wagon
#

Ilvl>

sick sentinel
#

Ilvl over everything

knotty wagon
#

None of the other stats will have a meaningful impact, all the stats are good.

sick sentinel
#

Between 2 pieces of the same ilvl you get the one with haste on it

#

I'm doing +20 with 250 vers for example

distant cairn
#

ye sure i know but safenko glick and the others got many itmes with the same lvl and they dont change the ilvl but change stats if 3-6 ppl change from versa to other stats its a bit strange at the same time

sick sentinel
#

It makes marginal difference

#

Don't worry about it

oblique garnet
#

theres only one dungeon where more vers is beneficial over more haste

#

and that high tyrannical ml

#

and only at the last 2 bosses

distant cairn
#

ok thx and wich enchant should i use than every time haste ? and on weapon i see difference on haste and siph

sick sentinel
#

Haste

#

Only haste

oblique garnet
#

god no siphnoning no nono

distant cairn
#

xD ok 😄 also i take always haste thx u guys 😃

sick sentinel
#

Read the guides and read the faq

#

Like 99% of your questions are answered there

distant cairn
#

i read most of them

#

but i look at rio to check high m+ tanks so i got questions^^

sick sentinel
#

Oh okay, no worries =D

distant cairn
#

is the zandalari troll a good race for Prot?

sick sentinel
#

Belfs are better for mplus

#

Because of torrent

#

Other than that, play the race you like the most

knotty wagon
#

I like void elf

#

They look nice :o

#

Proc isnt terrible either

#

I think if i went horde i'd go mag har or belf

austere oar
#

went F mag har, spent 2 days, reraced

sick sentinel
#

I'm actually thinking of dropping the 320k gold to race change from orc

winter aspen
#

Maghar are annoying

sick sentinel
#

To zandalari

austere oar
#

money well spent man

#

the zandalari shouts

#
  • _ *
sick sentinel
#

What is keeping me from doing it is my massive shoulders

oblique garnet
#

zandalari trolls are units

sick sentinel
#

I got the mythic bod shoulders

austere oar
#

they look insane on zandalari

oblique garnet
#

^

winter aspen
#

Zandalari are giants

sick sentinel
#

Fuck

austere oar
#

wait, lemme show you quick

sick sentinel
#

I am at 500k gold rn

winter aspen
#

Worth

distant cairn
#

i want that mytic shoulders too 😄

austere oar
#

not full set but huh

sick sentinel
#

Well the thing is

oblique garnet
#

look at that set

#

and then look at the shield

sick sentinel
#

I mean massive shoulders

oblique garnet
#

like wtf

austere oar
#

from behind

#

massive shoulders

sick sentinel
#

Ay it's good enough

austere oar
#

but I did it for the audio

#

yeah I play with sounds on

sick sentinel
#

Ofc you play with sounds on

#

How else can you hear the sound of your thunderclaps

oblique garnet
#

zandalari sound effects are fucking annoying tbh

#

you use heroic leap and it scares the living shit out of me

sick sentinel
#

I can't play female belf because of the sounds

#

mag har females are the absolute best for warriors

austere oar
#

found them the worst lmao

#

the fucking scream everytime you IP or Demo shout

sick sentinel
#

best size and proportion, super solid

#

Ok but

#

Shouts

#

every race has lame shouts, not much you can do about it

winter aspen
#

Wrong

#

Insert DI dwarf

#

Or basic troll

sick sentinel
#

mag har get swapped to DI dwarf for BoD, absolute worst experience with those high pitched squeels

winter aspen
#

But maghar have the absolute worst

#

Maghar male sounds like hes taking a huge dump every shout

sick sentinel
#

orc's shouts are great

#

female

#

yeah orc is pretty solid too

winter aspen
#

Orc yeah

#

Idk what were they thinking with maghar male VA

daring marlin
#

KT Humans have good shouts imo

sick sentinel
#

yes buuuuuuut

#

they are alliance lmao

daring marlin
#

yeah yeah

#

don't remind me

#

You guys won't be laughing when they add Vrykul as an allied race for Alliance!

#

If they're Horde my guild can eat ass.

#

😃

knotty wagon
#

I want the little fox people

#

And tortolans

#

And snake people

daring marlin
#

little fox people will be horde

knotty wagon
#

They can all be nuetral races

daring marlin
#

alliance exterminators op

knotty wagon
#

That choose fsction

#

Alliance can offer them fozsnax

daring marlin
#

The outrage of certain people is all I need for me to wanna see Vulpera in game.

knotty wagon
#

We need fennec furry people

#

Tauren and worgens sttract the erong kinda furry

#

Little fox people 👌

daring marlin
#

squints

oblique garnet
#

@sick sentinel want to tank 12 fh for my dh? XD

knotty wagon
#

If i could choose any race for my warrior, i'd rpobably go for tortolan

sick sentinel
#

omw to a 17fh soz

oblique garnet
#

rip

daring marlin
#

They don't strike me as a good Warrior race.

knotty wagon
#

Have u seen turtle boss in fh?

#

Theyd be gr8

oblique garnet
#

i want vulpera warrior tbh

daring marlin
#

That man is the exception not the rule!

inner bear
#

vulpera!

knotty wagon
#

@daring marlin my warrior is an exception. Hes a demigod at this point

primal crypt
#

I second Vulpera warriors

knotty wagon
#

Geese are flying back :o winter is ending

#

I can hear their cute honks.

#

I generally track winter using by the migrating birds, rather than a calendar. Spring is here

crisp pecan
#

guys, if i killed boss on mythic, i will get 750 azerite from hc and normal as well?

narrow abyss
#

Vulpera warrior

#

100%

#

I want to be tiny cute but ferocious 😂

austere oar
#

did anyone log with kimbul loa as prot on dummy ?

undone sun
#

why specifically a dummy

left anvil
#

fight length im guessing plus 100% uptime

steel mauve
#

@crisp pecan no, blizz changed it last expansion with the artifact leveling stuff, you get the same amount as long as you kill a boss so you dont have to force yourself to do every difficulty for the ap

#

Its all universal now

winter aspen
#

Vrykul for the alliance, furry midgets to horde

#

Sounds good to me

crisp pecan
#

oki, so if i kiled 7 on mythic

#

i only need to kill 3 more on normal or lfr?

#

2*

austere oar
#

yeah dummy just to get some raw stats

dense flame
#

So I’ve been using my gore/prism. Currently have 400 rezan, 400 socket mekka, 400 prism, 400 anchor, 405 socket gore. Would any other combo be preference?

#

Rezan combo was fine. But I liked the extra crit. Only trinket I’ve really missed was mekka/anchor combo.

austere oar
#

what for ?

dense flame
#

M+

austere oar
#

I'd say rezzan/gore

hollow kite
#

did the nerf hurt bonded souls much?

austere oar
#

I see some people started running Devastator in logs, is it the new bis talent for ST dps ?

queen owl
#

probably not

austere oar
#

like in the top 10 for Mekka M

#

7 are running devastator

#

8 on Jaina M

#

I guess it comes out better when you stack 3 BoM and go full dps

queen owl
#

giving up ~50-60% uptime on 15% damage increase

austere oar
#

well that's the top world damage done so that's something

queen owl
#

the rage difference is probably neutral

undone sun
#

it's competitive on ST

#

and you dont use it for the rage

austere oar
#

Yeah i'd assume that it's pure ST dps only

rustic zodiac
#

hello guys as a tanks, does weapon ilvl matter? I have a 400 crit haste with socket and a 405 versa haste

austere oar
#

always go ilvl for weapons and shields

#

no matter the stats

#

i mean, pretty much for everything

rustic zodiac
#

ok

#

is it worth having 2 iron fortress? do the dmg and block stack?

mint adder
#

Yes

rustic zodiac
#

nice

hushed cobalt
#

I've yet to act on it, but i wanna try reckless fury/devastator; would strike gale force(the +15% speed to autos) be to bold of a move?

weary nacelle
#

hey, if i have to choose between LoR and Gathering Storm, which one should i prio for arms pvp?

undone sun
sick sentinel
weary nacelle
#

oh im sorry, i didnt mean to post it here. My bad

austere oar
#

Try it with raidbot @hushed cobalt

naive panther
#

@hushed cobalt I just simmed with triple RF devastator between gale and quick and gale was 100 dps ahead

undone sun
#

personal gear matters quite a bit, it's bound to be different for everyone

hushed cobalt
#

Interesting, thanks! Was thinking of heading to pc to check but s3 of QE ^_^

distant crystal
#

gale gets better the more haste rating you have

sick sentinel
#

tripple RF devastator is super meme territory tho

#

wouldn't triple BfI devastator bring good results as well?

hushed cobalt
#

I await the change to devastator that lets you also equip a 2H

soft prairie
#

for tanking mythic raid, which would you pick? 420 anchor, 405 rezans, 400 vial of anumated, 400 Ramping Amplitude ?

hidden ether
#

anyone have any recommendations on heroic jania? read tank notes but didnt see much any certain times for SR or anything like that?

onyx abyss
#

420 anchor damnnn

zenith pier
#

Hi All - I am learning how to tank and I have been playing since Vanillia. I have never tanked before. I am (sadly) a clicker. And a damn good clicker as dps. However - clicking and tanking don't mix and I have no idea where to start. Would some folks mind sharing your keybindings please? I know they are personal and yadda yadda but good lord things feel terrible. Thank you.

ionic fern
#

@soft prairie i'd go Anchor/Rezans.
@hidden ether most of the heavy damage you take on Jaina is physical (Ice shard). The magic damage is mostly avoidable , you can use SR if you have high stacks of Chilling Touch for example to reduce the damage taken.

austere oar
#

these are mine, but keep in mind that keybindings differ for every single player, i'm playing with these binds for a long time now so i'm used to them @zenith pier

soft prairie
#

thanks 😃

vague ruin
#

@zenith pier put your most used spells in 1-5

fringe trout
#

I do everything 1 -5, alt 1 -5, shift 1-5

hidden ether
#

Yeah me and the other tank were getting hit with Ice shards up to like 180k

austere oar
#

your most important spells are the one closest to your movement keys

ionic fern
hidden ether
#

legit question why are your spells not in order compared to your keyboard..

zenith pier
#

Thank you guys - i really appreciate it. Besides keybinds, do you have advice for mouse turning and positioning as well? I feel like in M+ i dont have good positioning and such without keyboard turning.

austere oar
#

always face the mobs you are tanking

#

that's the most important

next kestrel
#

Lol

hidden ether
#

I sometimes use keyboard turning for fine adjustments mouse for fast adjustments

undone sun
#

i unbound turning long ago

next kestrel
#

Jump turning to reposition works well

zenith pier
#

Well yes, i know to keep the mobs in front but I feel like I'm OCD if the mobs are "too close" or on top of my hit box.

austere oar
#

A D are for strafing personally

onyx abyss
#

Strafe

ionic fern
#

You should really avoid keyboard turning..it's really slow and clunky.

next kestrel
#

Especially if your trying to hit shockwave or a better revenge

zenith pier
#

@ionic fern For sure, i agree hence the reason why im here. Keyboard turning while tanking is bad news and feels like im slow af.

vague ruin
#

You can use a mouse to turn faster

austere oar
#

if you need to turn use your mouse

ionic fern
#

Just unbind it and run some m0's for starters to get used to it. 😄

zenith pier
#

Thanks guys most appreciated. I'll just have to dive in and turn on the blinders to comments from randoms - people are pretty rude lol

undone sun
#

practice is the best experience

austere oar
#

tbh I had a bit of a hard time when I went from full mouseclicking to keybinds but that was a long time ago, you just have to go all in, change everything and play with it

zenith pier
#

Yea let's see 15 years of mostly mouse clicking habits to break..

narrow abyss
#

Just change it all now. A and d for strafe is what I use. Then q e r t c v g f 1-5 are all prime real estate for rotational stuff and things u need to hit quickly

austere oar
#

well tell yourself that with keybinds you can look at what happens on the screen instead of your spell bar

narrow abyss
#

But everyone’s individual keybindings are different. What makes sense for one person won’t make sense for another haha

zenith pier
#

@austere oar That right there is the biggest thing. I have been playing this game looking "Down at the spell bar" the entire time. Can't tank that way at all.

narrow abyss
#

So

#

As a stopgap

#

I would consider bartender or moveanhthing

#

And move those bars closer to your character

#

Then when ur super used to keybindings and your keybknds in genera

zenith pier
#

@narrow abyss I am using Elvui at the moment as well

#

1 more question, do any of you use mouse wheel up/down? Or is unbinding from the zoom not good as a tank?

narrow abyss
#

I use mousewheel up and down to zoom yeah

austere oar
#

same

narrow abyss
#

You definitely need to

#

Cause we’re posted up on wall or tanking in a weird spot a lot and camera gets finicky

zenith pier
#

Gotcha

vague ruin
#

I don't use zoom in or out

dense flame
#

does anyone like never surender over bolster?

#

for m+

vague ruin
#

No bolster is too good

austere oar
#

^

#

15 secs of SB

narrow abyss
#

Bolster crucial for maintaining high block uptime

#

ESP in m+ when you’re always tanking something

#

Imo

signal plover
austere oar
#

Never surrender you'd need to be 0% hp to maximize the talent

signal plover
#

Plus that

ionic fern
#

^
Most damage is physical in m+ so having high uptime on SB is very neccessary and on high enough keys you'd get smacked even through that "Bumped up IP" that Never surrender gives when you're low.

narrow abyss
#

Yeah

tulip helm
#

hi skyhold, I haven't seen you since legion

#

I did when I started playing again go scope out the m+ performers and there was a few using never surrender in the high 2ks

ionic fern
#

PLus in most dungeons you will not drop low enough to get the max benefit out of Never Surrender over Bolster.

tulip helm
#

that is mildly faulty logic though mwahi

#

if the tallent ready, you get 50% more ignore pains

#

i think you would be excited for that wouldnn't you?

winter aspen
#

bolster is sexy

tulip helm
#

and that is pretty common

winter aspen
#

saving those SB charges and just spamming ip is nice

jade socket
#

Sense was talking about it in motherlode

#

if you hearth out and switch for 3rd boss and last boss

undone sun
#

50% of 0 is still 0 🤣

#

ns so good 👏

tulip helm
#

you never use ignnore pain?

daring marlin
#

@jade socket Yeah, Nerf does that.

undone sun
#

a joke about how little IP actually absorbs

tulip helm
#

oh

daring marlin
#

Barely any downtime since you port back in at Azerokk.

tulip helm
#

its like 30% a healer since i've started this expansion

ionic fern
#

I just did a 19 ML today

tulip helm
#

I currently play with bolster since it synergises with angermanagement and it makes blocking easier to manage

undone sun
#

good, it's the default talent

tulip helm
#

but I think Marok's spreadsheet

#

actually sugested I swap to indomitable

undone sun
#

wat

ionic fern
#

🤔

tulip helm
#

yeah when I put all my stats into that link in the faq

#

hang on let me find the linnk and do it again with a screen cap

narrow abyss
#

🤔

tulip helm
#

yeah DR from bolster 9.2 and from indomitable 12

narrow abyss
#

34% haste before IFTK?

tulip helm
#

It doesn't say before iftk

#

thats just what it was when I copied it

narrow abyss
#

So you have 54.10% haste after IFTK

tulip helm
#

no

#

it doesn't say before or after aftk

narrow abyss
#

Errr into the fray

tulip helm
#

but adjusting it doesn't change the results

#

that is without any stacks I ran away from people

sick sentinel
#

is the 415 alchemist stone worth it for prot?

narrow abyss
#

Yes

#

It’s good

#

But there’s a lot of good prot trinkets so it depends on what u have already

inner moth
#

question. should i aim for engineering for the 415 helm and alxhemy for the trinket

#

which would u pripritize

#

prioritize out of the two

narrow abyss
#

You got a good 415 helm?

tulip helm
#

what trinkets do you have?

sick sentinel
#

diamond lace and trinket from mythraz

tulip helm
#

you like that eye huh?

sick sentinel
#

just never got rid of it

vale stratus
#

Is it possible to reflect the putrid water ability from last boss of Boralus?

ornate magnet
#

guys know any high key sreamers?

tulip helm
#

I feel like in BFA trinkets have been not such a big deal for tanks, because dps trinkets are absolutely a fine choice in most content. So easy AZ gear might be worth it. When I started looking at gearing up a few weekd ago I went through all the TR gambling choices and decided that head slots were the most finkie of the slots to gamble with. I just feel like shoulders and chest are more forgiving so maybe the ENG helm is worth it IDK. I don't play with ENNG but have considered because aparently they can BR now.

oblique garnet
#

The only place where you might want to use something other than bolster is the last 2 bosses in ml

#

And even there its debatable

tulip helm
#

why those two bosses in particular?

narrow abyss
#

magic auto attacks

ionic fern
#

Because they do pure magic damage.

undone sun
#

cdr on LS is more valuable though

tulip helm
#

what about UR bos 1?

oblique garnet
#

No

narrow abyss
#

no

ionic fern
#

Those shouldn't go through.

narrow abyss
#

all of the damage is avoidable, and if u miss a kick it's fucked

oblique garnet
#

@undone sun yeah thyme thats the conclusion i came too the extra healing from last stand covered more than the extra ip from ns

tulip helm
#

both the bosses you guys mentioned have magic autotattacks?

narrow abyss
#

boss 3 and 4 of ML

tulip helm
#

I mean I feel like i've seen them autoattack me but im gona go look

oblique garnet
#

Their autoattacks are magical

#

Unblockable

#

But you can block drill smash on the last boss in ml

undone sun
#

those aren't mutual exclusive though

#

magic auto attacks

tulip helm
#

those are the only two like that huh?

fierce juniper
#

@tulip helm The sheet essentially assumes constant/unchanging damage, so even though Indom provides slightly more EHP/DR on average, in most situations you're going to use LS/Bolster during periods of high(er) damage, which makes Bolster provide a fair amount more DR compared to Indom.

tulip helm
#

Hi marok!. I use Bolster right now anywys becuase I consider it easy mode. but your sheet almost convinced me to swap last weekend. almost

ionic fern
#

All magic damage except for Drill SMash

tulip helm
#

so

#

the logs on 5 mans are still kinda hard to read

#

if I look at a mech jockey for instance its melee swing looks like this

oblique garnet
#

Searing reagebt is autoattack for rixxa

tulip helm
oblique garnet
#

Alpha cannon is AA of last boss

tulip helm
#

how do we know what we can and can't block from this view?

oblique garnet
#

@ionic fern did you run bolster or ns on the bosses?

undone sun
#

hover over the # of hits, it'll say blocked

ionic fern
#

Bolster.

tulip helm
#

k

ionic fern
#

It was a 19 .

tulip helm
#

look at that

#

thanks thyme

ionic fern
tulip helm
#

mwahi can you link one of the other bosses dmg to you too?

oblique garnet
#

I have 2 19 mls done one with ns and one with bolster shame that my logs dont work so cant actually compare them

tulip helm
#

one where you could block

ionic fern
#

Ugh

im just curious what like boss 1 does dmg wise compared to the unblockable melee swings you know

ionic fern
#

THis is the 2nd boss.

tulip helm
#

lol

#

half the amount of dmg

#

5.5mil if you include chem burn vs 1.9mil

ionic fern
#

I did mess up Reflects on Chemical Burn tho since my lilwigs decided to go crazy for some reason and just popped the timers randomly for just that one key.

tulip helm
#

we can reflect chem burn?!~

narrow abyss
#

yes

tulip helm
#

omg is there a list somewhere?

narrow abyss
#

yes

oblique garnet
#

Theres some things that are not reflectable in the list

tulip helm
#

I tried to destack on a champ heroic the other night and it didn't quite work

#

turns out they don't do enough dmg to matter

#

charge is really useful on jaina mythic..

oblique garnet
#

Charge bugging out 10/10

ionic fern
#

You pushed anything this week Late?

cold flame
#

should I always use a higher ilvl shield?

#

or is a 5 ilvl downgrade with socket ok

tulip helm
#

i would go with ilvl

sick sentinel
#

Is everchill the best trinket for dps as prot warr?

tulip helm
#

gona be honest

#

idk what that is

sick sentinel
#

Jaina trinket

empty inlet
#

sim yo self

tulip helm
#

oh for dps

ionic fern
#

What's your other options Yonah?

sick sentinel
#

I dont have it, it was just a general question if it is the best one out there o not

#

or not *

undone sun
#

there isn't really a single best, it depends onthe situation

empty inlet
#

gear compare or bloodmall

tulip helm
#

are prot warriors on bloodmallet now?

#

they were not considered important enough for it when it first came out

tulip helm
#

neat

sick sentinel
#

When you sim as prot warr what fightstyle do you use for m+?

ionic fern
#

You can either use Dungeonslice which TRIES to replicate a m+ environment or if you just wanna sim AoE short fights you can do Patchwerk and put 10 enemies for example over a course of ~1m.
M+ has a lot of different variables so it's hard to create a exact platform for it.

full palm
#

Purely for defense reasons... what two trinkets should I be aiming for?

ionic fern
#

Diamond/rezans most likely.

empty rock
#

Does the void elf racial Entropic Embrace 5% healing increase effect IP sheild amount?

stoic bluff
#

my guild asked me to tank jaina prog, what traits do i want for this fight?

ionic fern
#

What traits do you have? How comfortable are you with prot?
in general most of the heavy tank damage is blockable.

oblique garnet
#

Nah mwahi havent pushed at all this week

ionic fern
#

Try to have atleast 1 DC what ever you do.

#

😄

#

Busy weekend?

oblique garnet
#

Nah teammates are busy wiping on jaina and same with guildies

ionic fern
#

I finally got

stoic bluff
#

i haven't tanked much raid, but done 15 keys ish on a regular

#

only other head i have is crown

ionic fern
#

Would be a lot easier if you linked the item names. 😄

#

In general those traits look fine tho.

stoic bluff
#

have ridgeplate pauldrons/lockjaw shoulderplates for shoulder pieces

#

and desert guardians' breatsplate / harpooner's plate cuirass /sea swell chestplate for chests

#

all 415's

#

heads are either engi head or crown

oblique garnet
#

You probably want one brace for jaina

chilly escarp
#

can anyone clarify how reflect works on first boss sethralis sometimes i have died with reflect up but most of the time it works fine

undone sun
#

cant be targetting you to reflect it, and jolt can eat the charge

chilly escarp
#

ahhhh that makes sense i suspected it was when it was targeting me it didnt work thanks

hidden ether
#

at siege before the 2nd to last boss what do you all do about the commander in the group, he is un cable and I was unable to drop stacks. Do we just need to burn him faster?

oblique garnet
#

@sick sentinel you think we could time +15 with all prot warriors?

ionic fern
#

YOu can pretty much ST the commander and the other mobs around him will die just to passive cleave.

oblique garnet
#

@hidden ether You know the fence where the spotter is?

#

@hidden ether What you can do is basically hop the fence from one side to another to reset necrotic since it los'es the mobs

sick sentinel
#

I am pretty sure we can do a +15 with only prots

oblique garnet
#

you wanna try it at some point?

sick sentinel
#

yeah

#

probably during fort tho'

#

just bought 2 wowtokens and made them into battle net balance

#

time for 👡

lusty grotto
#

lol

sick sentinel
#

👡 🍵 👏

hidden ether
#

@oblique garnet oh I didn't know I could leap that?!

lusty grotto
#

he doesn't mean heroic leap

#

he means you can simply jump the low fence thingy on the sides of the spotter room

#

the mobs cannot jump it so they run around

ionic fern
#

Just mob pathing. 😄

hidden ether
#

I'll have to look up a video of that one

ionic fern
#

You can jump between yellow.

#

#

you can do similiar thing in fh first boss trash too

but thats not really used on anything other than necrotic

I have to kite for necrotic now

Shouldn’t ever have to kite a ridiculous amount if you have a decent healer

frozen ember
#

first boss in UR - do you just completely ignore the add and stay on main to reflect/pummel and let the DPS handle it? Or do you get initial aggro first

rapid trench
#

I reflect first cast from boss, save my kick for first cast from add, reflect second add cast

#

at which point it dies

potent anvil
#

you should always kill the add first. letting it cast a 2nd or even third time can screw up kicks from the boss.

frozen ember
#

ya I don't mean EVERYONE ignore the add, I meant the DPS kill the add without you getting aggro on it. I didn't know if threat on her mattered

potent anvil
#

it doesnt, but it'll cast blood bolt to whoever does have aggro. so if a kick is missed, then it'll probably kill someone

frozen ember
#

ah makes sense

odd bone
#

guys , race is important if i want to push keys with my warrior tank ? i will level up one , and i want to be female nightborne , but its the worst race for warrior , you think its a problem ?

potent anvil
#

not a problem. play w/e you want. the only real beneficial race would be blood elf, but even then.

daring marlin
#

purge so good

sick sentinel
#

makes almost no difference unless you're going for world first in something

daring marlin
#

rip ss purge 😦

tiny rapids
#

Yes, before I could just say Race doesn't matter at all, now only if you want some niche situational button for Belf. Go with whatever green suits you.

odd bone
#

for high keys like 22/23 its not a problem too ?

sick sentinel
#

not that i've seen, if you watch the high key warrior streamers, they're all different races

potent anvil
#

yeah, ton of warr tanks that do 20+ keys arent belf.

#

play for flavor, imo.

#

Quick question on shields, a 410 improvised riot shield with a socket or a 415 sunburst crest?

daring marlin
#

Is Nerf still a maghar?

#

Maghar sucks

#

i will go female nightborne then 😄

#

ty guys

potent anvil
#

@novel blaze always highest ilvl, so 415

novel blaze
#

Alright thanks!

sick sentinel
#

what we do with UR first boss

#

is that we have a me-melee-melee interrupt rotation to the boss

#

and the then ranged interrupts first cast of the add

#

and I spell reflect second cast of the add

#

even on +19 that we did today, the add oneshot itself

stoic pilot
#

Like a legitimate one shot from full hp?

sick sentinel
#

no like a 70% of it's health

stoic pilot
#

Ahh okay

sick sentinel
#

but it dies

#

so it might be more

potent anvil
#

as long as there's an actual kick rotation, the boss is easy. i even did like UR 18 or something with another prot warr for memes.

daring marlin
#

lol

sick sentinel
#

me and late want to do a EU 5 prot warrior +15

#

not sure what week is the best and how to organize it but it should be possible

#

so i have a dumb question about the prot mastery

#

is the crit block chance part of the total block amount (ex.: 50% block change, 20% chance of that to crit block), or is it seperate (50% block chance, 20% chance to crit block seperately)

#

i've just been sorta curious as to how that mechanic is calculated

brisk rain
#

Hey guys, i have question about Jaina, when i enter phase 3 i take boss 1st and soak 1st orb to get more stacks and go into block, but by the time i do that, the 2nd tank has around 10-13 stacks so i have to tank boss again before ice shard stacks come down and i end up with around 20 stacks, i do survive it but what should i do to avoid it?

winter aspen
#

what would be the perfect key traits in theory ?

#

3x bastion and ?

open bluff
#

DC if you want to delete trash

winter aspen
#

DC x3 ?

potent anvil
#

generally 3x BoM, 1x DC, 2x IF

#

but 3x DC is for aoe meme dps

open bluff
#

defensively you only need one DC, anymore than that is purely for aoe dps

winter aspen
#

its just 1k extra on TC

#

does that even make a difference

open bluff
#

2k during avatar, plus the mastery increase

potent anvil
#

on top of avatar and 100% more? its pretty big

open bluff
#

from triple BoM

potent anvil
#

my tclap crits for 52k with procs and i run triple DC/BoM

winter aspen
#

thats pretty big

open bluff
#

@sick sentinel i believe it's 20% of your blocks will be crits

sick sentinel
#

my claps crit for 33k with the str proc from eng helm and avatar

#

@open bluff so it's 20% of the block amount will be a crit block?

winter aspen
#

You get enough defensives I guess from 3rd ring and 4th

open bluff
#

if i'm remembering correctly yes

sick sentinel
#

ok, thanks

open bluff
#

so with 50% block, about 10% should be crit blocks

potent anvil
#

im running triple BoM/DC/earthlink lol, and ive done 20-22s with no issues on tyran or fort, defensively.

winter aspen
#

yeah then Im gonna run it too lol

#

got 2/3 pieces with that combo

open bluff
#

(using the numbers you mentioned in your question that is, it'll actually be more than that because of shield block/last stand giving you 100% block along with high uptime)

brisk rain
#

Is it worth going for more mastery or versa?

sick sentinel
#

so shield block will make it a lot more?

#

since blocks will happen more often

#

my current actual stats are 24% block and 20.5% crit block chance

warm plinth
#

@sick sentinel Basically for every blockable hit you receive, there's a roll based on block chance. If the roll passes, you block; if it fails, you don't. If the block roll succeeds (meaning you block the attack), there is another roll that determines if that block is critical (blocking twice as much damage). If the block roll fails, then it never does the crit block roll. Shield Block will not cause your critical block chance to increase; crit block chance is purely defined by our mastery.

sick sentinel
#

but it's a % out of more blocks

#

same overall %, but there's more of them

#

that's how percents work, is it not?

#

not a math major though

oblique garnet
#

@sick sentinel your claps are weak wth

warm plinth
#

If you block more, you have the potential for more crit blocks, since you can't crit block if you don't block. But if you have 20% chance to crit block, that's each blocked hit has a 20% chance to be crit blocked. So theoretically you could block 20 hits and get 20 crit blocks, but you could also block 100 hits and not crit block any (though that'd be unlikely with a 1 in 5 chance)

valid knot
#

I am having a hard time choosing what trinkets to run in both raids and m+. I got: 390 rezan, 385 block, 400 ramping, 385 everchill.

Would a 415 alch trinket be better in m+ or raids for me? At what ilvl would you replace the alch trinket at if we compare it to the trinkets we want to get atm?

sick sentinel
#

i see what you're saying, that makes sense

warm plinth
#

I'm not a probability person but I'm sure some of my terminology would make them cringe; hopefully you get what I mean though XD

oblique garnet
#

@valid knot alchemy trinket is really good

#

Id probably go ramping + alchemy if you have 415

sick sentinel
#

no no

#

i understand perfectly

#

thank you so much

valid knot
#

Think im gonna craft it if it would be equal to another 415 trinket of the top tier trinkets

#

Just dont want to end up replacing it with a 400 trinket, that is why i ask

#

Everchill not worth it? Also ramping 400 > rezan 390?

oblique garnet
#

@valid knot everchill aint worth that much at 385 also you probably wont replace alchemy trinket unless you get like 415 rezan/415 Opulence/415 Gore

#

@primal crypt I witnessed an russian arms warrior with 425 ritual feather i got jealous

valid knot
#

Gore?

#

Okey cool thanks for the reply. Guess ill craft it

#

But is ramping good for us?

@oblique garnet I am full haste/crit

#

@sick sentinel shameful my thunderclaps are critting 48k

undone sun
#

offensively it can change depending on gear so simming is generally the best bet, but it's not far off from the defensive priority

sick sentinel
#

shit dude

#

I need more mastery I guess

#

or alch trinket

warm plinth
#

@umbral forge I wonder if that's something that might get fixed 🤔 They fixed it where Stagger didn't break it, but Shadow Mend is a little more on purpose than Stagger.

sick sentinel
#

or an on use trinket I guess

oblique garnet

thought you were vial rezan

did they change the spell reflect on Cyclone Strike in ToS? I reflected but still died 😄 seems like I didnt reflect all of them

no leech? may as well scrap it

ye i know about that, like I said: I was able to reflect as my WA told me the dmg output but still got hit by one of the strikes

will test again now

sick sentinel
#

were you on top of the boss?

#

or like a bit to the back?

full monolith
#

not exactly on top

sick sentinel
#

Well that is also a problem

#

Did you reflect a jolt instead of a cyclonestrike?

#

I have died like this before

#

@half jackal I never said I chose to stack crit and haste, that is a result of me picking the highest ilvl gear I have and gemming/enchanting haste

half jackal
#

I appreciate the help

oblique garnet

@sick sentinel theres like 5 +20 pugs going in eu atm all looking for a tank

Non-english clients can have problems if the original author doesn't use SpellIDs

@dusk basin kite him if you don't have a soothe in the group for raging or your healer can't outheal the dmg. Make sure to spell reflect for the damage reduction.

Thanks

#

@short nest What's the lua error?

there's nothing in the WA that doesn't work on non-english clients, so it shouldnt be anything related to that

lusty grotto
#

we did a seth earlier, reflecting cyclones still works

#

also it still deals quite a shitload of dmg

#

but unsure if still 10% per clone

rigid stream
#

To the boss?

potent anvil
#

its doing less dmg back to the boss due to the cyclone strike dmg nerf. still worth doing though

lusty grotto
#

for those asking about today

#

yeah it is def still worth it

warm plinth
#

Yeah if it was doing 50% boss hp before, it'd do like 37.5% now

lusty grotto
#

does substantial

#

if we get another seth key ill try to see if i can record it so i can pin point the exact number

#

or i should say percent

sick sentinel
#

This may be a dumb question, but I find I use Ignore Pain more often than Shield Block. Should I be keeping SB up more often or is this normal? I’ve read the guides, etc. Thanks for any input

lusty grotto
#

you should be prioritizing SB

#

and IPing on top

#

your SB effective uptime (or LS with Boslter) should be as high as possible

scarlet basalt
#

But you obviously shouldn’t use SB when boss or something is casting

lusty grotto
#

right, that's what effective uptime means

#

hmm wcl down for anyone else?

so if i don't see my question in the pinned message.
I just started tanking tonight and am having a terrible time getting aggro back in dungeons, using thunder clap and revenge to hit aoe but was still not getting back aggro

#

am i missing something

neon tangle
#

Taunt stuff works too

#

Heroic leap will also reset the taunt CD

atomic grove
#

Can you intercept the powder shot on 2nd boss @freehold?

#

to negate any dmg on allies?

oblique garnet
#

yes

ornate nest
#

@neon tangle so when fighting a group of 4 and 3 go off me, use taunt and then heroic leap and taunt again. Should i just leave the 4th to attack the guy with aggro?

neon tangle
#

I mean you’re probably doing something else wrong if 3 go off of you

warm plinth
#

Or your DPS just vastly outgear you

neon tangle
#

Warrior has AoE stronger than most dps specs in the game

#

That too

ornate nest
#

same ilvl ret but he was crushing the meters

warm plinth
#

It's very likely a rotational problem on your part. We don't even care about skittish as prot war.

neon tangle
#

He’s probably just being a dumbass and going ham in the first couple GCDs, wake of ashes -> storm or whatever is a lot of burst

#

Also rotational for you too

ornate nest
#

is it not, shield slam on cd, thunder clap and devastate and revenge on proc?

lucid kelp
#

I mean it is but on Aoe you likely wanna lead with TC as soon as you charge in or leap in

warm plinth
#

On most packs, if playing properly, you should have Avatar available. You should also have Demo Shout up as much as possible.

neon tangle
#

What’s your opener?

#

Like how do you start a pack

ornate nest
#

intercept or heroic leap then thunder clap and shield slam

neon tangle
#

I would generally avatar, charge, demo, TC

#

Not a lot can pull off of that first super TC

lucid kelp
#

with anger management...you really should have Avatar for almost every trash pull

ornate nest
#

ok, and since it is 1 minute cd what do you do with the pull after when you don't have avatar?

lucid kelp
#

if you dont have avatar, the Dps dont have their CD's either so

#

it should be easier

ornate nest
#

ok so use avatar pretty much on cd, that might be one issue, i only use it on bosses

warm plinth
#

It has about a 45-50 second CD if you're playing properly. No reason whatsoever to hold it for anything

undone sun
#

one big issue

ornate nest
#

ok that atleast gives me a hint on how to fix it, thanks

lucid kelp
#

another thing you can do is have your holy pally Friend thats running with you bubble dps that are pulling threat Kappa

warm plinth
#

Demo Shout is the same way; you should be using it on CD. That's a free 15% extra damage almost all the time

ornate nest
#

ok, thanks guys

warm plinth
#

Also, if you want further help, having some logs would be fantastic; we'd easily be able to see exactly what mistakes you or your group were making.

ornate nest
#

i thought logs for dungeons didn't work, but i will try it out next time

warm plinth
#

Yeah you just have to manually log them. As long as you have the uploaded, just type /combatlog before a dungeon and again at the end

#

I'm sure some addons might autolog for dungeons but I don't use autologging anyway so idk XD

@knotty wagon depends if you're going for more damage or not

K being the constant value for armor value per enemy level

@restive pivot best places are either the discord servers, your guild members or PuG'ing and adding people to your friends list who are doing decently..it will take a while but eventually you will get enough decent people on your friends list that you can in 80% of the cases get a grp from those people.

#

Oh, yeah now i remember. Jeah, i achieved it and we still got some keys to do tonight @crisp pecan .

neon tangle
#

@inland mesa my disc priest did 10k dps overall In my 15ML today

#

It was amazing

sick sentinel
#

For this week what would you guys go for full dmg trinkets or defensive?

twin hazel
#

damage kill shit before your stacks get too high

sick sentinel
#

So 400 ilvl rezan and 415 aclhemist stone or 400 ilvl rezan and 400 ilvl diamond

ionic fern
#

Diamond loses some value this week due to necrotic but it's still up there so i'd probably go diamond/rezan.

#

If you wanna go agressive then Rezan/alch.

crisp pecan
#

could not go anything higher than 18 yesterday, ml 19 feels so bad

#

managed to get 2k rio

#

but it is hard anything above

ionic fern
#

@tulip helm the set bonus only works in Zuldazar , not sure if it works in dungeons or not

#

So i'd probably just take the 420 cloak.

#

Jeah, ML 19 can be spicy and can go wrong pretty fast.

#

But gz on 2k.

crisp pecan
#

KR 17 was so smooth, 19 - even with safeguard and intercepting 90% of dots - wiped our healer's mana so fast

ionic fern
#

Mm, what boss?

crisp pecan
#

1st

ionic fern
#

Jeap, you gotta play pretty defensive there yourself since your healer has to focus on all the other people who get the debuff and in comparison the tank damage is pretty small.

#

My healer threw 9 rejus and 2 regrowths on me over the course of a 3 minute fight on the first boss for example.

crisp pecan
#

i wasnt a problem, as i said i specced safeguard to help him out, still, he could not heal party, damage ump for 17 to 19 felt so big

ionic fern
#

Did your party members use healthpots? Ask for externals? Diddn't stand in goo after it dropped?

#

The healer pretty much has to tunnel heal the person who gets the debuff without anyone else taking any unnecessary damage at that time.

crisp pecan
#

dont lik necrotic becauseit limits my ability to chainpull effectively

neon tangle
#

Just wait for next week

#

Yay bolstering

ionic fern
#

Next week is chill week. :')
Time to play PoE and/or level a alt.

warm plinth
#

Teem/volc/tyr week after that

crisp pecan
#

yes, this one going to be huge

#

volc/teeming

neon tangle
#

And non-fort teeming At that

crisp pecan
#

yap, cant wait to push these keys

neon tangle
#

Plus teeming got nerfed some unknown amount

crisp pecan
#

but my plan minimum of 2k this week was overachieved

#

stil have tuesday to try

#

but out of 5 hours pugging yesterday i manged to time only boralus 18 lel

warm plinth
#

Still, 2k pugging is nothing to scoff at

crisp pecan
#

i do only pug, dont want to commit on top of raiding

warm plinth
#

Don't blame you. Well done though

crisp pecan
#

thanks, next week for sure wont be the one to push keys 😃

warm plinth
#

Week after though is pretty good!

crisp pecan
#

Correct, easier than current one

short vale
#

Is there any WA / other way to track how much dmg spellreflect reflected?

ionic fern
#

Logs are the best way. I think Deswind said something about being able to check it from Details as well if you set it to "everything" and look at damage taken.

short vale
#

damage taken by enemy?

ionic fern
short vale
#

Goddamn 😦

remote mist
#

Is there any spreadsheet/list with reflectable spells for bfa?

undone sun
ionic fern
#

Haven't checked from there myself so not sure.
But if you're logging you can do : Enemies->pick the enemy that you reflected->Damage Taken-> and search for the spell you reflected

tulip helm
#

so the engineering helm

#

should i feel excited or not for it?

ionic fern
#

Depends what else you have.

#

The DC on it is decent if you don't have it on any other pieces.

tulip helm
#

I got another piece which isn't bad

crisp pecan
#

hey guys do you know any good frames additin to threat plates that shows you current target? these arrows are barely visible...

tulip helm
#

I got blood sport spec'd on it. I think they would be better if shoulders didn't all have the demo shout trait on them. I'm gona play with world shrinker and cauterizer and see how those do I think. I also kinda think the 5% DR on the spark doesn't seem bad if its uptime is ok

#

time for bed ga night skyhold

warm plinth
#

👋

dull pilot
#

got a problem

#

unsure what to use

#

i am a raid tank

#

i do keys but mainly a raid tank

ionic fern
#

Diamond/rezans would be my go-to. Tho the STR increase does look juicy - haven't mathed it out.

open field
#

Depends if you want dmg button if you want to be more tanks diamond in raid it would be diamond but in m+ button is a good choice I would say

warm plinth
#

What a terrible trinket to have forge to 425 😦

twin hazel
#

button is crap i have one myself :\

old zephyr
#

Could be sporepods

warm plinth
#

That's true

twin hazel
#

rezans and prism

ionic fern
#

😂

#

Don't jinx it.

warm plinth
#

Or a Bwonsamdi's Bargain

dull pilot
#

dont think its much use to me in raids

warm plinth
#

I don't actually know the right answer, but I'd probably use prism+rezan's and keep the other for bag ilevel XD

dull pilot
#

yea swop out diamon for button for m+

#

?

warm plinth
#

Depends on key level I guess. If you really don't need prism, no reason why not

dull pilot
#

sucks its a 425

ionic fern
#

If you want DPS then it'll pull ahead yeah.

mental scarab
#

But we are dps with shield 🤔

brittle elm
#

Diamond is amazing in m+ I wouldn’t use big red button at all

weary nacelle
#

I've got a 400 diamond, and a 405 Anchor with a socket. I really like diamond , especially in M+, but how can I not use 405 anchor with a socket.. it is o good.

#

what do you guys think about that particular case.

ionic fern
#

Do you want more DPS? Use Anchor. Do you want more survival? Use Diamond.

#

I'd personally use Anchor but that's mostly cause i prefer the offensive trinkets in general.

austere oar
#

in m+ you should go diamond tho

weary nacelle
#

I understand that. But you can always use more suitability.. I guess if you do a +5 , then u don't need it, but i'm personally aiming much higher - 12/13/14 keys. And defensive is always nice there, it's not like we are un-killable.

ionic fern
#

You don't NEED diamond in m+.

austere oar
#

I don't think anchor is worth for the time its stacking up and then does its damage

ionic fern
#

Both of them are completely viable options ..they just serve different purposes.

#

I'm doing 18-20 keys without diamond for example.

weary nacelle
#

Nice. What do you use tho? Just out of curioisity

ionic fern
#

Rezans/Vial in most cases.

#

I would use Rezans/Anchor if i had anchor. 😦

austere oar
#

yeah I mean not using diamond because it is needed but because anchor isn't particularly strong in quick fights scenarios

weary nacelle
#

my second one is the trinket from Mekka, 415 one (the Gigavolt Engine), and this is where my choice comes in for what to be the second trinket.

#

But i'll follow your guides and adjust to the situation. Sickness has a point as well.

sick sentinel
#

well

ionic fern
#

😂

#

We depleted a ML 20 because we kept on having 1 person DC with WoW error every time we pulled the 3rd boss.

#

Tried it on 19 and had the same issue there.

#

Good times.

#

But look on the bright side @sick sentinel you have a lot of practice keys for the 20 shrine.

sick sentinel
#

yeah

weary nacelle
#

so ML is bugged?

ionic fern
#

Sots is pretty forgiving on timer now ..we messed up our 19 key because of the 3rd boss..forgot that the orbs don't scale with Tyrannical so we diddn't DPS the MC'd person fast enough. 😦

#

I'm not sure if it's bugged for everyone @weary nacelle but we tried it 3 times and every time someone got a WoW error as soon as we pulled the boss - might also be a addon messing up. 🤷

sick sentinel
weary nacelle
#

😦 That's unfortunate

sick sentinel
#

BUT I WANT IT

ionic fern
#

Leech build inc o.o

weary nacelle
#

😄

ionic fern
#

I actually got 400 legs with +111 leech and 405 feet with 88 leech on them..just waiting for more leech items... 😂

weary nacelle
#

are you guys playing Zanda. trolls now? I wonder how do you feel about the Healing Racial.. can you find a good use of it? I barely use it, honestly.

ionic fern
#

I'm DID.

#

Even if i was Zanda i'd probably pick either Pa'ku for general usage or Bwomsandi for ST

sick sentinel
#

if I equip the ring I go from 3% to 5%

ionic fern
#

Time to stack bloodsport and blood siphon. 😂

sick sentinel
#

I have 1 blood siphon

#

and a rezan's with leach

#

ah I will not use it

austere oar
#

I tried the racials with raidbots and kimbul seems to sim higher than bwonsamdi

#

@weary nacelle the healing racial is extremely situationnal, only time I use it generally is when i'm kiting mobs in m+ and dont have dot on me

ionic fern
#

I'm not 100% sure that the Zandalari racials are correctly coded in the backend yet.

austere oar
#

I did try to log on a 5min dummy with Bwonsamdi

#

my racial CD should come back today

#

I can try to log again with kimbul

weary nacelle
#

I agree, the heal is super situational. I guess we will rarely use it. But this is probably intentional otherwise it would be too op.

austere oar
#

oh racial is up, can change

#

let's try kimbul

weary nacelle
#

I picked Pa'ku first,not sure if i want to switch yet, the crit seems nice. And kind of universal regardless if you prot, or swap arms/fury on occasion.

austere oar
#

okay yeah kimbul is way too random

#

you'd need to get 3 lucky procs in a row to maintain the duration and let it grind to 3 stacks

#

wait no, it's actually 2 different iterations

#

could change today to Kimbul, here's a 5min, racial is pretty meh

crisp pecan
#

kibull is best for prot?

austere oar
#

that's actually my first attempt at comparing kimbul to Bwonsamdi but Kimbul seems a lot worse

#

this was my bwonsamdi

ionic fern
#

Is Kimbul ST only as well?

austere oar
#

yes

#

easier reading, forget about rend of kimbul as it is the shrine bonus when you click on it, just note Embrace of Kimbul

#

both approx. 5 minute ST only

hard hawk
#

What is more tanky vs physical damage Prot War or BRM?

austere oar
#

depends on the damage pattern I'd say

#

but Good prot W > BrM >> bad prot W

quasi pagoda
#

400vial or 415 alch with rezans?

sick sentinel
#

i love alchi + rezans for most m+ but im actually only starting to do 12+ ..... just a warning xD

crisp pecan
#

i am using same combination on 18

brave mauve
#

I can't be talked out of my 405 vial for the low-medium M+ I do (13-15). Knowing that every other Avatar turns me into a raging Old Testament God is too good to pass up. 🤷

opal peak
#

just get a bigger vial 😃

#

ez

brave mauve
#

😩 👌

unborn island
#

I would prefer a vial if I ran with a coordinated group, so I could line up mega pulls with it, but I only pug, so I generally run my block/Rezans as I feel it gives me more consistency

lime mantle
#

Spore or briny (+socket)? Other one is rezan.
All of them 400

old zephyr
#

spore is supe bad, but briny isn't great either

#

i'd say briny because socket and it may be good during reaping

sick sentinel
#

@weary nacelle I switched to 👡 and I haven't successfully used racial yet

#

That 4% crit proc is nice tho

opal peak
#

sandal 🤔

sick sentinel
#

👡 is zandalari troll man, get on with the memes

opal peak
#

i understood what it meant

#

just never seen it be called a 👡

weary thorn
#

I was stuck for a second trying to figure out how you race changed to a flip-flop

opal peak
#

wha it's a sandal

#

not a flip flop

fossil jay
#

Vial definitely better from experience in m+

weary thorn
#

@opal peak I realize that now, but my brain will forever default to flip-flop first

errant shuttle
#

what trait is Bfl?

austere oar
#

brace for impact

errant shuttle
#

o okok

modern brook
#

Big Fat Love

#

also chortle at all the 👡 players trying to figure out how to be a good race

#

when they coulda just gone green

weary nacelle
#

@sick sentinel , indeed, the crit is nice, but overall i feel a little poor having just that as benefit. I guess I expected more. Or probably it was mainly a 'fake' hype around the new race. :S

sick sentinel
#

I forgot we had that racial even

#

I didn't care about it

#

all I cared was that it was better than orc racial and looks cooler

austere oar
#

well if you're raiding the racials are pretty strong

modern brook

Hi everybody ! I'm leveling a warrior atm and i'm tearing between going dps or tank ... I don't know what to do and i'm afraid of doing the wrong choice ... can tank defends their position so that i can make a decision ? 😄 Thx guys !

#

oups wrong category ... sorry

austere oar
#

tank does more dps than dps

#

go tank

@austere oar good one hehe, agreed!
