Warrior, well known and highly regarded for their intelligence

simple atlas
#

wary lantern
#

single target dps

umbral forge
#

also he lost aggro on reaping

jovial haven
#

Jettom, your warrior wouldn't be scared if it weren't a nightborne lol

umbral forge
#

MY WARRRIOR RIGHT NOW IS A TAUREN

jovial haven
#

oh dang, you came to your senses...somewhat

errant shuttle
#

I still dont understand the scenario

wary lantern
#

what is best addon/wa for marking in dungeons for interrupts?

errant shuttle
#

U dont want your tank to chain pull ml

#

What can u do to make him stop

umbral forge
#

@sand condor don't chainpull Motherlode

errant shuttle
#

Do u need us to all message him dont chain pull?

umbral forge
#

Yes please

crimson shadow
#

@wary lantern automarker look it up on wago

errant shuttle
#

@crimson shadow tyvm

umbral forge
#

errant shuttle
#

Misdirect?

umbral forge
#

errant shuttle
#

Y on cd?

umbral forge
dense flame
#

Hunter 👍

olive merlin
#

Now, can you modify that macro to cast on the tank role and not a name?

modern brook
#

???

#

why are you not misdirecting Vic?

umbral forge
#

I am

#

constantly

sick sentinel
#

If you're playing bm, does misdirection even do that much

#

Your pet does everything not you

umbral forge
#

MM

sick sentinel
#

Oh.

umbral forge
#

I'm rather new to Prot Warrior but I know Hunter pretty well

#

I was a Hunter who had to go Prot Warr cause guild lacked a tank

modern brook
#

🤷 im hearing a lot of "I'm not able to keep up with how baller my tank is, and i need an adult"

#

@sand condor chainpull the entire instance, fuck ur healer

umbral forge
#

we have more deaths than we have solid number %

sand condor
#

will do bull

modern brook
#

Dont die then, 4head

sand condor
#

i did die

umbral forge
#

its ok

#

avoiding shadow smash is hard

dense flame
#

Victory rush all dungeon this week boys

#

Let’s create mini bosses 🥰

worthy dagger
#

push week

modern brook
#

so weird for bolster to be a push week tbh

umbral forge
#

"How many deaths are we on?"
"Only 75"

#

"86 now"

worthy dagger
#

how is bolster any hard to deal with:

#

all you gotta do is literally kill things at the same time which is really not hard at all to do

hollow thorn
#

There are lots of packs

#

Where the mobs have different amounts of hp

#

Other than that its easy

#

That makes it limit the amount of mobs u can pull

#

So you do smaller pulls, and you have less time to finish the dungeon

umbral forge
#

90

ornate wagon
#

meh pull big and hope your dps can balance

worthy dagger
#

exactly

ornate wagon
#

explosive is the more annoying affix, think we are gonna run triple melee this week

hollow thorn
#

Some pulls its impossible to balance

ornate wagon
#

except in underrot... /shudder

#

yeah siege is trash this week

sand condor
#

i want to die

#

90+ wipes

#

70 minutes

#

on a +11

#

..

hollow thorn
#

that better be a hard dungeon

worthy dagger
#

obviously youre not gonna chain pull 500k hp mobs to something with 2kk

sand condor
#

motherloade

ornate wagon
#

1st week of m+ in bfa, I had 466 deaths in a 10 temple

#

i think it has been meme'd

#

im wow famous

hollow thorn
#

I got a 10 KR first week, 121 deaths

ornate wagon
#

it took over six hours and we didnt finish

#

following day I did a 10 freehold easy

hollow thorn
#

What was the struggle?

ornate wagon
#

guardian druid+resto sham+outlaw+ret+MM hunter, 330 ilvl, necrotic tyrannical galvazzt

#

but to be fair everything was a struggle, took an hour to down first boss alone

#

i think i still have the screenshot of the timer lol, let me find it

hollow thorn
#

330 ilvl is like really low

#

When you could get like 355 from 6s

ornate wagon
#

rofl

primal sable
#

still chestable probably

ornate wagon
#

posted that sept 7th 2018 into druid discord, since then it has been meme'd

jovial haven
#

thats literally world first

sand condor
#

dude what

#

whyis the auto hammer now a servant of bwonsamdi

primal sable
#

should have treated it better

umbral forge
#

@sand condor get back into the game

jovial haven
#

yea for some reason auto hammers reap, not really sure why

primal sable
#

do they run after you and repair your armor?

umbral forge
jovial haven
#

hope you didnt get a motherlode +7

sand condor
#

that was an 11

#

not an 8

oblique garnet
#

jettom i have 19 ml you want in on that?

umbral forge
#

I got a motherlode 10 LOL

#

Yeah sure.

#

to be fair that key went to shit cause we were carrying the Warlock and the healer

#

and Vic is well, not good with Grievous

vocal skiff
#

I bet I will get shrine from my weekly chest today

#

Not shrine, siege*

jovial haven
#

well a 10ML should only take about 80min then

vocal skiff
#

Because I always get the worst dungeon every week lol

sand condor
#

thanks jettom

#

but yes

#

i suck with grievous

#

and...........sanguine

umbral forge
#

hah

#

yeah

vocal skiff
#

Sanguine is very annoying

umbral forge
#

My favorite moment was when you were at 30% health, 4 stacks of grievous and the healer was at 0% mana drrinking

#

so you pulled 2 more packs

#

sand egret
#

what's the affixes this week again? Explosive bolster right?

primal sable
#

ye

#

have fun

brisk rain
#

how tf are prot warriors doing 20k+ on conclave?

wooden thunder
#

aoe, prot has heavy aoe damage, if you do it right

primal sable
#

thicc claps

brisk rain
#

so pretty much bursting on avatar and keeping bosses close enough to hit both?

primal sable
#

its only 7 yards, right?

sand egret
#

clap?!

#

oh naww

#

8/12 with CT

dense flame
#

Nah you can’t cleave in conclave in bosses. But you can get the adds close enough.

primal sable
#

you can cleave

#

warcraft logs doesnt remove cleave damage for tanks

dense flame
#

WTF

half palm
#

padpad

dense flame
#

Of course it doesn’t. Why remove for dps but not tanks makes sense.

primal sable
#

i guess cause they swap?

dense flame
#

Yeah probably.

primal sable
#

rank2 log for warrior overall is prot

#

lmao

dense flame
#

Btw do you have to have to have a specific healer for grevious 3rd boss temple past a certain key lvl?

#

Had monk, but his mana pool ran out.

primal sable
#

druid i guess

#

i play with a hpala and he goes out of mana too on that boss

old zephyr
#

Grievious is like tyranical on that boss

daring marlin
#

ok boys

#

disappointment box time

sick sentinel
#

Run them pockets son, show me what u got out those boxes

ornate wagon
#

ooh bloodsport or blood rite

old zephyr
#

Sport

ornate wagon
#

thanks

daring marlin
#

I have a real problem here

ornate wagon
#

just got a meh breastplate

daring marlin
#

I wanna roll fury/arms for the weekly box so I don't get shit trinkets

#

but at the same time

#

I don't want a 2H

#

OH WELL LET'S GAMBLE BOYS

sick sentinel
#

There's only 1? Tank trinket

exotic spoke
#

In before war forged two handed

sick sentinel
#

We share trinkets with arms/fury

exotic spoke
#

That too

daring marlin
#

GOTEM

#

nah fam I mean sporepods

#

only prot gets sporepods

sick sentinel
#

Yeah so 2 extra trinkets

quick ice
#

No shield, but pants with a socket so ill take it

daring marlin
#

I don't want even a small chance of getting the poop prot trinkets

exotic spoke
#

Would have gone prot still. More two handers I don’t care about than shit trinkets

#

You have a larger chance that you’ll get a two handed you don’t care about though lol

daring marlin
#

probably

exotic spoke
#

No probably about it. There are more two handers than shit trinkets

daring marlin
#

At the same time I don't need prot weapons/shield

#

so

#

It's actually a lower chance if I roll fury/arms

#

definitely more 1h/shields than 2H

#

my dude

exotic spoke
#

Could always warforge to 420

daring marlin
#

good meme

exotic spoke
#

And you never mentioned that at all until just now man. I can only base it off of info I have

daring marlin
#

😛

exotic spoke
#

Eh, when I open my chest in like 8 hours I have to get a warforge / titanforge of something for me to consider using it

daring marlin
#

sounds about right

#

that's why I liked the ring

lapis topaz
#

Does anyone else have an irrational hatred of the Shimmering Haven trait because it just leaves a pile of goo on the floor that I have to stop and think "is that good goo, or bad goo?" Also, I'm justified in choosing Overwhelming Power instead of Shimmering Haven, right?

daring marlin
#

rings/trinkets with sockets are my only upgrades I can hope for

#

Of course you're justified in taking OP

thorn gale
#

Opinion on 1st bloodsport vs Incite the pack?

daring marlin
#

It has an internal CD of how many stacks can be taken off per hit you take.

ornate wagon
#

big choice on my breastplate, BfI or DC

#

thats 3rd DC or 1st BfI

modern brook
#

OP literally best middle trait by a large margin

#

Bloodsport over incite

lapis topaz
#

Heh, didn't realize OP was that strong... Even for M+?

modern brook
lapis topaz
#

Right... Meaning that even if I'm getting clobbered by 10 mobs, the charges drop in a limited fashion, not the first 25 hits... OK, I get it now. TY.

daring marlin
#

Yep.

surreal atlas
#

I'm usually at work on tuesdays...when does the chest spawn?

lapis topaz
#

9 AM server time I believe

high temple
#

16 minutes ago for US realms

lapis topaz
#

Is it by server time, or just locked at 9 AM Pacific (for US of course?)

ornate wagon
#

so, how vital is 1 Brace for impact trait, is it a huge difference?

vocal skiff
#

410 cloak for me

modern brook
#

@lapis topaz specifically it caps out at roughly 2/s

high temple
#

its the same time for everyone in the same region (US/OCE) or (EU)

#

so im in oce and its 1am open for me

modern brook
#

10am est, 7am PST

lapis topaz
#

It's gotta be 8 AM PST, 11 AM EST

#

Cuz I checked at 7:30 PST and it wasn't there, but it is right now (8:20 PST)

lunar jackal
#

guys should i take treacherous covenant or a second deafenin crash?

primal steeple
#

How well does prot warrior do on tanking M Stormwall? Specifically boats and boss tank

modern brook
#

@lunar jackal 2nd deaf imo; its a pretty even split

lunar jackal
#

Thanks. i got a new piece of azerite so i had a second deafening one so had to switch a couple but it just ends with shitty traits or 2 deafening.

modern brook
#

Theres arguments for and against TC; im of the opinion that while u should never get sub 20% if ur playing apporpriately geared content correctly; sub 50 is very common which guts its uptime andmakes its drawback weigh more heavily than it does for something like BDK.

Essentially TC has a gradient from "alright- deadweight - actively detrimental" which; when compared to prot specific traits is generally not worth it

#

Apologies if this quest has been asked 12837123 times - For tanking M+, Which is the "best" Trinket Combo? I don't yet have Opulence Diamond, I do have Jes, Vial, Gore-Crusted, Rezan [All at 400 ilvl] - Currently using Rezan and Vial because I like controlling Vial + Avatar for Reaping

supple path
#

Cool, got my second 415 Merektha's fang this week. Would've been a shame to only have one of them. shakes fist at chest

modern brook
#

Vial Rezan, Block Vial, and rezan* Block are all super viable

#

literally all of those are ifne

#

jes is probably worse than vial on the whole just cause of timings

tranquil jungle
#

Awesome, much appreciated 😃 Jes is nice for giving a chunk of versa to group for burst, but I'm quite liking Rezans. Vial just feels pog tbh, that chunk of strength with avatar is nice for smashing out a large pull

modern brook
#

🤷 ur group can get their own trinkets tbh

tranquil jungle
#

😄

modern brook
#

its time to parse

tranquil jungle
#

well I'm only mediocre at tanking, around +14 currently

mint adder
#

410 fang bois

tranquil jungle
#

noice

#

is it still that good? 😄

mint adder
#

Not at all

tranquil jungle
#

Feelsbadman

#

I remember seeing a BDK using it absolutely ages ago, was wrecking massive pulls

mint adder
#

Yeah I used to on my blood during bonestorm

modern brook
#

bdk has downtime

high temple
#

410 ring with no haste when i have 2x 400 rings with haste pepehands

modern brook
#

Prot is gcd locked

tranquil jungle
#

I cannot stand BDK in comparison to prot warrior D:

modern brook
#

🤷 thats just why fang is usable on bdk, if not very good

tranquil jungle
#

Ah, thanks 😃

modern brook
#

theres never a point in a fight where we want/can afford to skip a global

#

and its not like we really need help with aoe

dreamy umbra
#

What is bis Azerite for prot warrior on Mythic +? where i can see?

wheat bronze
#

You can look at the MDI and see what people are running

sick sentinel
#

haha wow! so i snuck into a +10 last night and just got socketed tf 425 boots from my chest this morning. i created this character like 4 days ago.

winter aspen
#

Where can you see that @wheat bronze ?

wheat bronze
#

raiderio

#

Click on a run, click on the player

high temple
#

should note that some of the azerite theyre using you cant actually get at 415

old zephyr
#

Nice

woven trellis
#

whats the expected dps of a protwarrior for like a regular +15 AD

#

overall

modern brook
#

~~2(10xTC damage)*avatar uses/time completed

#

adjusting for deviation

woven trellis
#

im not that good with formulas

#

was more expecting a range

old zephyr
#

16-22k dps

woven trellis
#

kk\

#

im only at 16k

#

tryin to figure out what wrong

hollow root
#

What's some of the legion legendaries you guys use for timewalking tanking?

old zephyr
#

Pull bigger, clap harder =)

#

Thundergod would7be dope

#

So many ds so much rage

hollow root
#

Yeah I've been using that and the healing braces, then using the antorus tank trinket too

sick sentinel
#

my healer got boomie affinity

#

she got a trait where if she uses starsurge she gets 1500 leach for 20 sec

#

like wtf

errant shuttle
#

So for ml this week do we just grab as many blood sport traits as we can?

sick sentinel
#

eh

brave mauve
#

Ayyyy finally hit that 3xBoM 3xDC dream

sick sentinel
#

Pog

rustic zodiac
#

I Dagger in the Back any good for Mythic+s?

#

*is

sick sentinel
#

not at all

brave mauve
#

Only if you can do a sick reach-around from the front lmao

rustic zodiac
#

lol

sick sentinel
#

even then

#

it's only good in ST

winter aspen
#

So OP > defensive traits or nah ?

brave mauve
#

OP is a substantial defensive trait in and of itself

neat lagoon
#

and i guess you cant see it lol

modern brook
#

sigh

sick sentinel
#

imagine not reading the guides or the FaQ

#

item level=upgrade

neat lagoon
#

people link gear all day long

sick sentinel
#

they link trinkets

#

and rings

modern brook
brave mauve
#

The only time for non-trinkets that ilvl isn't an upgrade is either a 5 ilvl drop because of socket (which will still be debated here), or if you're playing some hyper-high-end content, and in which case, you know already what you want and are trying to achieve, and don't need to ask (see: leech 😏 )

modern brook
#

socket for 5 ilvls can be justified on jewlery capes and wrists and particularly hard fucked up up stat allocations

#

most other slots you're going to lose too much primary for it to be worth it

pine birch
#

what is the consensus on Strength in Numbers?

sick sentinel
#

the consensus is

#

eh

modern brook
#

"Whats ur other option"

pine birch
#

heed

modern brook
#

i assume the 3rd is glob cause u didnt mention it

pine birch
#

yea

brave mauve
#

lol

modern brook
#

HEeds probably better 🤷

pine birch
#

alright

modern brook
#

still ok in cleave, strong in ST

sick sentinel
#

HMC is like

#

2% of your damage overal

umbral forge
#

HMC?

sick sentinel
#

which is good

#

heed my call

modern brook
#

huh

#

thats a lot higher than i expected tbh

errant shuttle
#

hey guys

#

how good is meticulous schemeing for us

#

tclap >revenger>Ignore pain/shield block makes this trait seem op

brave mauve
#

At 1ppm, it's probably defeated by the R.N.G. of the engineering goggles' 1.5ppm, so it can't be that op

old night
#

any tips for mythic rasta? that bwom debuff fucking sucks

outer dew
#

What's your co tank?

#

Do you have an rsham?

sick sentinel
#

I have been playing with that trait for like a month @errant shuttle

#

it's pretty good

modern brook
#

Kaege no i was making a sick joke

#

:^(

brave mauve
#

:((((

old night
#

blood DK

#

yes got a resto

outer dew
#

You dont need to swap

errant shuttle
#

@modern brook would u take scheming over brace for impact?

sand egret
#

BFI is pretty strong mate

outer dew
#

You have your blood DK basically CD at high stacks, die with ankh totem, and external, and should be done with that phase

warm plinth
modern brook
#

I wouldnt take Schemeing over anything higher on our list than BS

outer dew
#

No swapping needed at all

#

Esp because dk deals with the dot better

modern brook
#

Kaege might; but he wont talk again until he ruins another sick joke

#

:^(

#

oof

sand egret
#

oooof

modern brook
#

@sick sentinel

errant shuttle
#

@sick sentinel

warm plinth
#

Replaced 375 boots with those puppies 😄

outer dew
#

If you run that, you might as well run siphoning too tbh

sick sentinel
#

@sick sentinel

#

what is it

sand egret
#

only if they have > 300 Speed, Tofu

modern brook
#

@warm plinth u excited for your 420s to drop and u have to replace them?

errant shuttle
#

thinking of using scheming over bfi

#

for M+

modern brook
#

BFI

sand egret
#

BFI is gangsta

modern brook
#

SS is still priority in AoE

warm plinth
#

Well, considering I'm 387 (after the boots), I don't think I'm getting 420s any time soon XD

sand egret
#

that's a swag upgrade dude

#

grats

warm plinth
#

Thanks

sand egret
#

I went 385-405 weapon on my druid

errant shuttle
#

i need more meme dmg

modern brook
#

yeah but u finally got an upgrade u were happy with

sand egret
#

love them big upgrades

warm plinth
#

That's pretty good

modern brook
#

so now blizzard things

#

dang he just wants boots lol

sick sentinel
#

I am taking scheeming over second DC/BS

errant shuttle
warm plinth
#

Haha, well see what I do bull, is I just don't do content

#

No content, no drops

errant shuttle
#

these are my traits

sand egret
#

BFI also gives you damage, btw

warm plinth
errant shuttle
#

im missing a lot of meme dmg

vocal elm
#

Would you take Blood Siphon or Crystalline Carapace?

errant shuttle
#

i like bloodsport

sick sentinel
#

blood siphon

brave mauve
#

Blood Siphon is sexual

sick sentinel
#

and I do not like bloodsport

brave mauve
#

11% leech boiiiii

old night
#

that's interesting

sick sentinel
#

ey @brave mauve

old night
#

alright i'll let em know

#

thx

sick sentinel
#

fuck you btw

warm plinth
#

Man, I've been awake for like 15 minutes and already seeing leech

brave mauve
#

errant shuttle
#

magic dmg trucks...

#

think i might need to bring 2 of them for ML 18

#

this week

sick sentinel
#

no need dude

errant shuttle
#

hm

#

so just stick with icyvein azerite priority

#

?

sick sentinel
#

well with 3 BoM

errant shuttle
#

i dont have

#

i have 1 bom

brave mauve
#

oof

errant shuttle
#

even with my fury azerite

empty inlet
#

😬

sick sentinel
#

oh

errant shuttle
#

i have a solid 1 bom

modern brook
#

double bom dc triple BS Never surrender; big swap after 2nd boss

#

ML tanking more like ML SPanking

brave mauve
#

yall remember in november when we were all like "maybe want a single bom for M+ or maybe not idk, it doesn't seem that great"

#

we were dumb af

empty inlet
#

Doing ml during this week is a mistake it self

sick sentinel
#

wtf are you saying?

#

8.1 I was running 3 BoM

errant shuttle
#

hm think its worth to put on 400 pieces? for triple bom?

modern brook
#

no? I remember it being "Oh they nerfed the literal 1500 points of mastery we're getting, it might not be insta 3 anymore"

errant shuttle
#

or just keep the 415

sick sentinel
#

I even dropped DC for it lol

sand egret
#

i was saying stack that shit from the jump

modern brook
#

prepatch 8.1.5 was like 950 Per stack or something stupid like that

sand egret
#

"oh noes mah block" was a thing for sure

sick sentinel
#

we were hyping this shit up from the first day it was revealed

sand egret
#

but then it was like....Block? but gear puts us over the block softcap for M+ and tons of mastery gives us an insane amount of crit block...

modern brook
#

THere was a lot of "its the worst trait" because defensively in ST it is

brave mauve
#

Yeah you guys say that now, but I remember. That was listed as our worst azerite when the patch was looming. I'm even looking at the changelog of icy veins now Feb 6th was when it was changed to being one of our best.

modern brook
#

which is what the guide's original azerite list was going with

#

That has since been fixed

brave mauve
#

Yeah, that

errant shuttle
#

so would u guys roll iwth 1 bom with all 415 azerite or drop to 3bom 400 ilvl for pushing keys?

outer dew
#

Y'all cared about the defensive properties

modern brook
#

yeah because it is our worse trait defensively in a raid scenario 🤷

outer dew
#

I told you we were gonna be pumpers

sand egret
#

I don't write the guides, and it certainly wouldn't be the first time i've gone against the grain around here (see: my comments on Leech in 8.0)

modern brook
#

Tofu is a big pumper

brave mauve
#

Shiiiiit we were already pumpers in 8.0

#

just got pumped back is all lmao

modern brook
#

soon we'll be big bumpers as we get bumped from every application

#

heyooooo 8.2 gloom train

#

choo choo

sand egret
#

gloom? bears are going to be dope

#

i can twait

brave mauve
#

If BDK could ride being mechanically OP for a whole damn expac and well into the next, then we better not be getting nerfed because of a seasonal affix being dumb

modern brook
#

choo choo 8.2 gloom train now arriving in happy bear station

brave mauve
#

I'm riding the "blizz is dumb, but hey they ain't that dumb" train

modern brook
#

Now departing denial terminal 😬

sand egret
#

i'd be shocked if UF goes untouched

empty inlet
#

Wut warrior is not op because of reaping

modern brook
#

I'm out of train analogies

#

but

brave mauve
#

lol

empty inlet
#

They are literally the most durable tank in the game

sand egret
#

against blockables*

modern brook
#

🤷 because the raid has a lot of dumb blockable things

mental scarab
#

^

empty inlet
#

Raid LUL

brave mauve
#

this raid does tank damage?

sand egret
#

which happens to be the current MO

empty inlet
#

Monk is broken in raid

#

Warrior is broken in dungeon

sand egret
#

said it a million times, tanks are born from their environment. Warrior has a long-term scaling issue that is independent of current content

modern brook
#

wait slapping a fat x2 on something can cause scaling issues?

sand egret
#

NAW FAM

modern brook
#

weird

sand egret
#

(it's more than 2x)

#

it's more like 4x

empty inlet
#

Warrior not going to get nerf before mdi anyways

#

You're safe for couple month

sand egret
#

obviously, it'd get hit in the 8.2 rounds

brave mauve
#

Rentari brought a BDK for a single dungeon run in the cup, tank balance is fine. 😏

modern brook
#

yeah thats why its the 8.2 gloom train

sand egret
#

depending on the class

modern brook
#

not the within the next couple of months gloom train

Bring in the arms warrior meta

#

Down with the prot

empty inlet
#

Maybe its bears time to be op 😬 😬 😬

modern brook
#

down with prot

#

@winter aspen hell yaeh

brave mauve
#

Prot is just Arms with a shield. Same shit as Legion. Press button to activate AOE dps, then engage in busted AOE dps, take aggro. Except now the last step is a feature and not a flaw.

daring patrol
#

i just want glad stance back

winter aspen
#

Yeah but as prot you have to tank

brave mauve
#

i admit that's annoying

#

but can be fixed by playing 2 prots

winter aspen
#

And BDK were so awesome

#

Chain grip and brez

#

Invincible

modern brook
#

yeah now ur only 4 of those things

#

rip bdk

warm plinth
#

Who needs mass grip when you have snapping 😏

winter aspen
#

If they keep the prot dps and rogue this busted then somethings not right with Blizz

outer dew
#

You know I was talking to someone about this

#

Theres a lot of pad damage and the current affix doesnt slow you down

#

It could feel a lot worse for us next season

warm plinth
#

Btw am I the only person who thinks it's crazy that Blizzard is allowing snapping in the MDI?

empty inlet
#

All damage is relevant

winter aspen
#

Pad dmg or not if avatars up youre top dps

outer dew
#

Not really. Reaping will make it so some classes will not be seen just because of how their aoe works

#

If you dump your damage before reaping

warm plinth
#

Relevant, yes. But nerfing us only to have to buff us next season when we can't do big packs (potentially, depending on new seasonal ofc) doesn't make sense.

outer dew
#

Your overall looks wack

empty inlet
#

Reaping damage matters

winter aspen
#

Nerf is inevitable

#

Like 30k overall as tank is ridiculous

outer dew
#

Yes, it does. But reaping is also the reason you dont bring a CD reliant class

modern brook
#

@warm plinth snapping?

warm plinth
#

Aggroing mobs, running to a ledge, mobs teleport to you. Basically mass grips the mobs by abusing a mechanic that prevents you from avoiding mobs by going to somewhere they can't get to

brave mauve
#

geography abusing to teleport mobs to you. Same as the DHT mushroom bug or whatever.

modern brook
#

ahh yes a feature that blizzard put into their game

outer dew
#

The damage numbers everyone has atm will drop like a mofo when reaping is out the door

modern brook
#

That sounds like something they'll banppl over tbh

warm plinth
#

They're allowing it in the MDI right now

modern brook
#

yeah, now

brave mauve
#

They're allowing it in MDI and not disqualifying teams, so it'll be hard to enforce anything about it

modern brook
#

just building evidence

sick sentinel
#

@brave mauve it is our worst trait

#

on bosses

warm plinth
#

Which is crazy because iirc they fixed it for the cats in DHT before the MDI?

brave mauve
#

If you don't like to party, perhaps.

modern brook
#

if u like to party u should be running gathering storm

#

🤷

brave mauve
#

Yeah, they fixed the original DHT iteration of the bug, but then someone of course found yet another way to force it to occur, but that was given a hard "no" for the MDI.

#

There's literally nothing wrong with playing 3xBoM, 3xGathering Storm as Arms, change my mind, Bull

dense flame
#

Why does vengeance DH have to be so bad this expansion.

brave mauve
#

:^)

dense flame
#

Makes me sad

modern brook
#

I literally made that build

distant crystal
#

wth does gathering storm do for prot

modern brook
#

You seem to think u can out meme me dude

brave mauve
#

fite me irl

#

i'll gathering storm you into the ground, old man

modern brook
#

U havent even begun to make memes

#

I have memes for 8.2 lined up man

brave mauve
#

i can't make memes when you are a meme

winter aspen
#

Worse than guardians

#

8.2 memes

#

Get em ready

brave mauve
#

I literally don't even know how they could make guardian competitive without just giving them 10 charges of fren-regen off the GCD

distant crystal
#

swipe damage increased 200%

#

ez claps

winter aspen
#

Make swipe a TC

brave mauve
#

Like there are obviously some dudes who are making it work, I was watching a Korean guardian's stream a bit ago, dude was in a 22 SotS. But he was getting out-overall'd by the healer and I wanted to cry for him

#

But, he still did a 22 shrine in time, and I haven't, so I can't feel too bad for him, dude made it work

distant crystal
#

the other day JB hosted a holy pally

#

who was a clicker doing 20AD

brave mauve
#

wild

distant crystal
#

when he told his mates he got hosted by jb they were like "you better quit clicking now!"

#

lol

modern brook
#

Bear is like perfectly fine tbh

#

def on the low end

#

but they're no worse off rn than we were in 8.0

distant crystal
#

the gap from worst to best is a lot smaller than ppl think

#

except aoe dps and outlaw rogues :p

brave mauve
#

It just feels so wrong to watch them be a kiting tank like VDH. Like what's the point to being a gigantic bear if you're MO is to getting 3 thrashes and b o u n c e

modern brook
#

the only tank that needs changes and not tuning is vengeance

dense flame
#

Imagine getting destroyed even during spikes

brave mauve
#

oof

dense flame
#

Yeah, definitely not fun.

distant crystal
#

think they just need more armor

#

baseline

#

maybe nerf spikes and buff their base armor

brave mauve
#

What's the uptime on spikes, anyway? Last time I played, it seemed like 40% or something awful

winter aspen
#

Veng was so fun in legion

brave mauve
#

But I also was pepega bad at vdh, so I surely just played it wrong

winter aspen
#

Veng and BrM

brave mauve
#

Finishing dungeons at 1.9m overall as prot in legion was the real aesthetic. People acting like us doing 25k overall now is new or something

winter aspen
#

Prot in legion was in a perfect place

#

Not sticking its head out too much

brave mauve
#

I really love it now, but I also really loved it then, too. I don't know which I liked more.

winter aspen
#

I liked the old IP

#

And spam shield slam

sick sentinel
#

if IP was doing 90% like it used to

sweet kettle
#

Everybody liked the old IP

brave mauve
#

lmao

sick sentinel
#

BS would be a good trait

#

but it's not

sweet kettle
#

If IP was like it was in Legion prot would be the best tank by miles

winter aspen
#

Spamming SS was funny af in raids

brave mauve
#

SS spam was unreal. Opening along with some of the actual dps classes

winter aspen
#

And legendary bracer

lusty grotto
#

i didnt like the old ip

brave mauve
#

popping on the legs and just solo tanking most heroic fights 😤 👌

lusty grotto
#

ip spammers make me sick

#

🤢

#

you could tell a warrior was trash when he ip spamed KJ

#

and died to fel claws

winter aspen
#

You didnt have god tier last stand

signal plover
#

Ya but u had enough SB to cover everything

brave mauve
#

when you got 5 stacks of grievous and weren't thinking so you hit last stand, doubling your HP, and your healer just goes silent

lucid kelp
#

huh..

#

I got a 410 Jes' howler finally

near furnace
#

😮 410 rezan's with leech from box

brave mauve
#

time to play 3xBS and siphoning :^))))))))))))))

#

User Epyawn#7969 has been removed from the server.

near furnace
#

410 butchers block/410 rezans/400 gigavolt engine? thoughts? double 410s? or the engine and rezans?

lucid kelp
#

engine rezanssss

#

all the haste

near furnace
#

okay, thats what I thought

#

lol for real

lusty grotto
#

WHO THE FUCK MENTIONED LEECH

winter aspen
#

Wtf

#

Engine

#

Take block

near furnace
#

k

astral crystal
#

hi benson :^)

modern brook
#

block rezan imo

brave mauve
#

I'd go block and rezans without hesitation tbh

sick sentinel
#

how do you guys have motivation to play this game if you cant find a guild recruiting a tank?

brave mauve
#

by without hesitation, I mean with 6 minutes of hesitation while I made some food, but still

sick sentinel
#

cause m+ is not my thing its 2nd to raiding for me

winter aspen
#

Id unsub

brave mauve
#

I usually just find some petty squabbles and just jump face first into it until I'm happy again

sick sentinel
#

m+ is the main thing for me

#

because raid tanking is fucking boring IMO lul

winter aspen
#

I only play for m+ and if I couldnt find enough groups theres no point

sick sentinel
#

i like the mythic plate set what motivated me to playing a plate class

#

not only tht tho

brave mauve
#

there's your problem tbh

modern brook
#

playing for style is def not a problem

#

liking how u look is 90% of what keeps me going

brave mauve
#

bullfango shops at mens warehouse confirmed

signal plover
#

Getting into a mythic grp as a tank is tough. Usually you need to start as dps and then show ur capable unless they're specifically looking for a tank.

sick sentinel
#

if you dont like the look of your char an playin purely for how good they are will only get you so far cause it wont motivate you to play it

modern brook
#

🤷 if a mythic guild is looking for a tank

#

theres a reason

#

and its rarely a benign one

empty inlet
#

True

winter aspen
#

well I completed my mog and there wont ever be a better one

#

so playing purely for m+

lucid kelp
#

I like playing warrior but...Im having trouble enjoying wow itself...stuck on the "Hopefully next patch will fix it" train

signal plover
#

Atm it's not always a bad reason tho

#

Lotta burnout happening

sick sentinel
#

well im just sick of puttin alot of effort into gearing rep grinding to find its all for nothing ive done it like 3-4 times now

signal plover
#

What r u rep grinding for?

frozen dove
#

Lol 3-4 times.....try doing it for the last 14 years.

signal plover
#

Champs I guess?

sick sentinel
#

well i levled a new zandalari warrior cause couldnt aford to move server and so needed honorbound

junior aurora
#

hey guys is there anyone who could help a new prot warrior with some questions would be amazing 😃

sick sentinel
#

ive played since vanilla buel

signal plover
#

Where have u been looking for a guild?

lusty grotto
sick sentinel
#

mainly tarren mill and kazzak eu

frozen dove
#

Then you should have done it WAY more than 3-4 times.

lusty grotto
#

if you've read the guide, you can ask questions here

sick sentinel
#

ive got over 10x120s

daring marlin

#

Honestly I’m sick of progging jaina. So I could see other tanks just being done with it at this point

frozen dove
#

If you are starting to feel burnt out, I would recommend taking a break.

signal plover
#

Ya I gotta take next tier off at least

lusty grotto
#

yeah no reason to keep playing when feeling burnt out

#

bench that FOMO

#

we're not blizzard employees here, we won't make a case to keep playing

sick sentinel
#

i cant dps for out and thats all you see guilds recruiting and healers every healer but resto which i have at 403ilvl

#

resto druid*

frozen dove
#

I took a break from raiding since the week before 8.1.5 and it's been refreshing not having to raid.

lusty grotto
#

reminder that xrealm mythic raids opened today in NA

analog swift
#

^^

lusty grotto
#

so you don't actually need to move servers

winter aspen
#

freedom

sick sentinel
#

Nim

#

my healer did a thing

#

she has 1500 leech now

analog swift
#

V excited for being able to easily Pug first 3

lusty grotto
#

😡

#

i mean shes a healer, so 🤷

sick sentinel
#

41%

#

with the rest of her gear

winter aspen
#

leech on a healer lul

sick sentinel
#

you have to have balance affinity for it though

lusty grotto
#

hmmm...

brave mauve
#

That's fair, because then she does no damage to leech from :^)

lusty grotto
#

well im i cant be mad about that

frozen dove
#

GL pugging on M opulence, my best attempt was 14%

modern brook
#

M oppulence is a guild destroyer tbh

#

please stop dying to heroic mechanics the fight

sick sentinel
#

m opulence is the first hard boss of the raid

#

ive seen the vid it looks not much harder spend more time in the rooms and put the gold patches further away bl the 2nd pack

#

it should have been the second boss

#

so bad guilds could only kill champs

frozen dove
#

That's was the deciding factor for my break. Was tired of wiping because dps or healers died

modern brook
#

its especially bad for tanks

#

cause u actually do nothing in that fight

#

pull him to fence, walk through for crush gg

lusty grotto
#

well fire circle is a lot faster so you can actually die to it if you're bad 😛

sand egret
#

@sick sentinel Balance affinity + stacking Switch Hitter?

sick sentinel
#

yes

frozen dove
#

Luckily I was left side tank

weary veldt
#

what is the better trait on skyscorcher pauldrons? brace or unstable?

#

420 shield

sick sentinel
#

brace

naive panther
#

We took a break from raid after Argus. My life was so much better, got so much more done. Good time of year when sun goes down later to stop raiding.

frozen dove
#

I keep getting recruited to raid again, but I'm really enjoying the casual life for the first time since BC.

jovial haven
#

what do you all use to log your m+?

lusty grotto
#

what do you mean

#

you mean auto logging?

#

cause i use exrt

#

but dbm works

jovial haven
#

i don't have either, but maybe i should grab ert

lusty grotto
#

you dont have... dbm?

jovial haven
#

deleted dbm and got bigwigs

lusty grotto
#

well bigwigs probably has the option

jovial haven
#

i'll have to look. i haven't bothered logging them, but have been thinking about starting to

sick sentinel
#

ehm you can also /combatlog

lusty grotto
#

good ole hipster kaege

#

but yeah he's right

jovial jewel
#

You think it’s similar to heroic until you actually attempt it and realize oh s

lusty grotto
#

someone is scrolled up

woven trellis
#

how does protwarrior compare to other when it comes to tank opulence and conclave

#

mythic

lusty grotto
#

?

#

just about everything oppulence does is blockable

#

so draw your own conclusions

woven trellis
#

thats what i thought

lusty grotto
#

in which your conclusions should be "prot warrior can solo tank oppulence"

jovial jewel
#

I only dps mythic, but i tank heroic for my guild.

sick sentinel
#

there is no tank damage from this mythic raid

jovial jewel
#

Heroic, never seen my drop below 80%

sick sentinel
#

except like kimbul bleed

#

but just be a dorf or a DID

lusty grotto
#

or be an orc or mag'har

#

and get turned to those 2

astral crystal
#

no tank dmg

sick sentinel
#

yes

astral crystal
#

you ever been slapped by jaina, son?

#

Last week was fun, I haven’t tanked bolstering before and I’m doing +16 keys

#

Any advice on shrine?

lusty grotto
#

what about it?

#

shrine is a free key this week pretty much

jovial jewel
#

I’ve done it and know pulls including adds bosses, any certain things I should be aware with bolstering that I can get away with. Basically to make or prevent bolstering.!

#

?*

lusty grotto
#

did you miss the nerfs to globs

dense flame
#

You say free 😏

lusty grotto
#

its hella free this week

jovial jewel
#

I know patch changes

#

Well it’s just a first for me so yeah

dense flame
#

Better get ready to start removing dps friends

lusty grotto
#

its tyrannical week not fort

#

shrine globs don't bolster other shit

dense flame
#

Last week was healer friends to remove. This week is dps for explosive

lusty grotto
#

oh

#

yeah for sure

#

DONT FUCKING TOUCH MY ORBS

fresh valley
#

save slams for orbs amirite

lusty grotto
#

why, they go down in 1 devastate

jovial jewel
#

They spawn slower? Man been having trouble with dps on these high keys with try*

sick sentinel
#

VR+melee

wary lantern
#

how many explosives can spawn per mob?

lusty grotto
#

hard to say

#

not that it matters anyway

#

also reminder that cc'd out of combat mobs don't spawn orbs

jovial jewel
#

Not explosIves, but damage on bosses 😦

wary lantern
#

should i make a macro for /target it and cast devastate? or doesnt matter? 😄

lusty grotto
#

but why

#

are you incapable of clicking a nameplate?

#

i mean i guess you could

jovial jewel
#

I like fort week, feel like tanks can push or control it more so then try

fresh valley
#

is there a list of CC's that don't allows mobs to bolster?

lusty grotto
#

any cc that don't put them in combat

#

not blind

wary lantern
#

last time i played explosive was Atal dazar, wasnt tanking it, and before priestess after tank pulled it, there were so many plates that no one could target it lol

lusty grotto
#

not paralize

#

not fear

fresh valley
#

that's the thing, i'm not sure which ones, and whenever i play with classes and i ask this question, people never know

lusty grotto
#

anything else is good 👍

fresh valley
#

got'cha

#

i swear i've seen sheeps bolster

lusty grotto
#

if your DH is bad and gets in combat before imprisoning...

#

yeah it shouldn't happen

fresh valley
#

okay good to know

#

the key is getting them off before combat starts

jovial jewel
#

Does the last boss of underrot excessive spores spawn explosives?

lusty grotto
#

pretty much jonathon

#

they do spawn explosives, but not that many

#

that was heavily nerfed early on

fresh valley
#

just thinking about ML how the MDI teams CC all the high health mobs at start and burn down the small ones, but that's using double rogues, which i don't typically have access to

lusty grotto
#

you can also in combat cc, and drag dying mobs away

fresh valley
#

yeah

lusty grotto
#

but i think you gotta be 30 yards away at least

fresh valley
#

and LOS works

jovial jewel
#

I had to do that last week, or they would get healed. Learned real fast after the first one

#

Sanguine ptsd

wary lantern
#

i hated boralus this week... fookin marksmens standing in sanguine

jovial jewel
#

?

#

So many los spots. I go up the steps for the pack before the mini bridge

#

it was fun

wary lantern
#

tell that to random ppl

jovial jewel
#

I mean if you have agro you should be fine

wary lantern
#

its the one that shoots random targets

#

i think

#

everyone gotta los them

jovial jewel
#

Not sure which one, but if you have agro they follow you . From my attempts

#

Marksmen, wavelengths?

wary lantern
#

Kul Tiran Marksman will cast Molten Slug at random players, dealing a burst of fire damage. This damage cannot be avoided and the healer must simply out heal it

#

Whenever i LoS them, they just turn to someone else

jovial jewel
#

I do an los then taunt

modern brook
#

@fresh valley imprison sap

#

gg\

jovial jewel
#

Did a KR, 9 mins on timer kill last boss with like 6 min left. Anyhow we go to kill the pack we skipped, they forget to sap and blind/root like prior pools

#

😦

#

Not sap, blind*

lethal delta
#

Yesterday i was doing a KR with only 1 death and like 15m on the clock at 3rd boss and a dps has to leave cus of an emergency

#

Died on zul a few times cus couldnt push.

jovial jewel
#

Real life.

lusty grotto
#

with 15 m you could have 4 manned

#

oh zul

lethal delta
#

Yeah :(

jovial jewel
#

Man mini boss is rough.

lusty grotto
#

4manning zul without lust on fort week might be rough

jovial jewel
#

I was like lust on this mini boss

lethal delta
#

Hes wayyyyyy too stronk

jovial jewel
#

Barely made it alive

lethal delta
#

Least this week doesnt seem too bad

jovial jewel
#

When you join a pug, and they didn’t plan for lust.

empty inlet
#

Just kite zul

jovial jewel
#

You stare at your bags of drums 😦

inner forge
#

I know warriors in mythic plus are in a good place right now. Even without warriors damage would they be a better choice for m+ over brewmaster?

lusty grotto
#

they'd be on par

#

or we'd be on par

#

ring of peace and paralyze might be slightly better

empty inlet
#

they would still be best even if they dont do shit ton of damage

#

base on the fact that they take 0 damage.

lusty grotto
#

you can't nerf damage without some utility added

#

and besides

warm plinth
#

I mean, you'd like to hope they can't. But they do that type of shit all the time.

lusty grotto
#

reaping is almost over

inner forge
#

I've lvled both to 60 over past few days. And pre 60 warrior certainly seems more fluid and feels better to tank with

warm plinth
#

Brewmaster is actually utter shit at lower levels

empty inlet
#

unless youre pushing like 20+ it really doesn't matter what you play

lusty grotto
#

depending on the seasonal next season, we will shine when we can pull big

warm plinth
#

You're better off tanking with a DPS

lusty grotto
#

but yes lala is also right

#

again im not sure why the question comes up with "without warrior's damage"

winter aspen
#

War without the dmg doesnt make much sense

inner forge
#

Yea brewmaster is much harder at the mo, does rushing jade wind help it? @warm plinth

lusty grotto
#

its not that

warm plinth
#

I mean, I run RJW at lower levels just for the extra AoE button. But it's not going to help the fact that you're squishier than wet paper.

lusty grotto
#

its just why look at hypotheticals at all?

jovial jewel
#

I have the mythic grong shoulders with bonded and souls. I also have c’thrax shoulders with swirling sand. Both have defeaning. Any suggestions for the week?

sand egret
#

flip a coin?

empty inlet
#

whats your goal '-'

lusty grotto
#

why are you listing non-prot specifics?

sand egret
#

neither are great

#

BS prob beats it out

jovial jewel
#

No choice. I guess I could go with prot on the shoulders

empty inlet
#

grong isn't that awful :p

lusty grotto
#

grong has BFI

#

why list bonded?

sand egret
#

shock value

empty inlet
#

😱

jovial jewel
#

I don’t have bs and defeaning those are my only options other than bfi

lusty grotto
#

cthraxxi has IF

sand egret
#

BS = bonded souls in my reference

#

but Prot traits >

jovial jewel
#

I have a 425 shield kinda don’t need defensive

#

And 420 helm etc

empty inlet
#

odd flex

lusty grotto
#

....

sand egret
#

...

#

here we go again

lusty grotto
#

what does having a 425 shield have to do with anything?

sand egret
#

because it's a flex

lusty grotto
#

inb4 he mentions "soft cap"

sand egret
#

lol

#

and " I run +19s"

jovial jewel
#

No not that, more block has high diminishing returns

empty inlet
#

you talking shit about my boy lepan ??

lusty grotto
#

.... it doesnt

jovial jewel
#

Doesn’t increase much.

lusty grotto
#

yes it fucking does

sand egret
#

lol

lusty grotto
#

bro

jovial jewel
#

Oh. Okay.

lusty grotto
#

you have a shoulders without BoM

sand egret
#

man Nim getting baited

jovial jewel
#

I’m not debating I’m trying to learn

brave mauve
#

l e e c h

sand egret
#

tbh you've had this answer given to you like 10 times in the past few weeks.

empty inlet
#

would you guys use a block or rezan

sand egret
#

at even ilvl?

#

Rezan

brave mauve
#

I unironically prefer Block :^)

lusty grotto
#

its a toss up

sand egret
#

but they're both solid I wouldn't really be kicking myself

lusty grotto
#

but i'd lean rezan

#

slightly

sand egret
#

I'd vote Rezan because Haste still gives you value when you're not actively engaged

#

however slight that is

#

so if it procs at the end of a pack....boom faster SB recharge

#

but that's me pulling a differentiator out of my ass

#

reality is they're both really good

brave mauve
#

It's a pretty specific circumstance, for sure, but it's valid.

empty inlet
#

block is more damage right?

sand egret
#

RNG damage

#

so the potential is higher

#

haste is more consistent as its X more casts

lusty grotto
#

both parse similarly for damage

jovial jewel
#

I haven’t noticed a a difference in damage taken from +15-17 keys, but I’m sure I’ll tell the difference in a higher key. That was last week with sanguine so we’ll see how it plays. I’ll spec into if. Thanks @lusty grotto

lusty grotto
#

you can't do feelcraft on tankyness

#

there's math for what you gain with IF and BFI on normal blocks

#

and seeing as you don't have 3x BoM

#

you're still gaining crit DR

#

or rather

#

you're still gaining massively on block DR

#

since you are not gonna crit block consistently in avatar windows

sand egret
#

yep

brave mauve
#

Just because the good isn't getting gooder, doesn't mean you can't still get more good

#

gimme dat block

jovial jewel
#

Oh Kay, yeah I’ll do some calculations. I’ll correct myself. Ctrax does not have defeaning. It has bloodsport and if :).

brave mauve
#

someone say bloodsport? 😏

jovial jewel
#

Yeah

lusty grotto
#

ctrhaxxi does have DC

#

not in the outer ring

jovial jewel
#

Oh, I’m not on the computer my bad, yeah oops.

#

wasn’t sure

#

Sorry for the noobness. I’ll get back to you after plugging in some numbers.

lusty grotto
#

the idea here is that a 415+ shield caps your crit block DR

#

but

#

you don't crit block all the time

#

so you gain from regular blocks

jovial jewel
#

Ahh, so swirling sands only would affect my parry, but not my crit block

#

Gotchu

#

I was conflicted with that

lusty grotto
#

with 3 BoMs your chance to crit block goes up to 60% on avatar windows

#

that's 3 BoMs and around 24% mastery

brave mauve
#

Which, even with 3xBoM masterrace, normal blocks are still more common than critblocks anyway (in dungeons at least), so block is still a really good stat

#

I am curious what the relationship between block rating and diminishing returns will be at 445 shields, or even 455 with a warforge next tier. That might get weird.

jovial jewel
#

Learn something new everyday.

lusty grotto
#

when 445 shields hit, K values will be adjusted

brave mauve
#

Gonna have to be, or we'll be invincible

lusty grotto
#

so it probably will remain the same

jovial jewel
#

I think people will push higher. But will just require better gear^^

lusty grotto
#

not really

#

damage and healthpools are adjusted every season

#

k values as well

jovial jewel
#

ah, okay, see I’m new. First season. :(. Ima stop my scrutiny for the day.

lusty grotto
#

if k values increase (as they do every season) your block dr goes down

brave mauve
#

Next season's affix is gonna be something stupid like periodically your group gains a buff+debuff from the old Gods that makes you both deal and take extra damage, because Blizz thinks that'll help worse classes compete, but instead just means prots do 1m dps casually. Calling it now

lusty grotto
#

block DR = BV / (BV + K)

jovial jewel
#

Bless you. I have a formula

lusty grotto
#

its actually the same formula as armor

jovial jewel
#

I know it’s in the spreadsheet

lusty grotto
#

except armor will be armor dr = armor amount / (armor amount + K)

#

whereas armor is consistent, but block is not

jovial jewel
#

Okay, okay I need to plug in these numbers me. I actually did a +18 fh last week and was getting pounded in comparison to the 17. So just been on my mind.

lusty grotto
#

unless shield block is up or last stand

#

and crit block is inconsistent but affected by mastery

jovial jewel
#

Need to copy and paste this knowledge lmao.

errant shuttle
#

have any of u guys ever gotten blizz support to reopen your item resto if you fucked up?

lusty grotto
#

?

#

what do you mean reopen

#

did you use all your charges ?

brave mauve
#

I can't even get an answer about the artful dodging leg transmog out of them, much less actual help with an item

errant shuttle
#

i used it 2 days ago for an item i accidentally sold and today i just remembered i de a lockjaw shoulder 2 months ago when i was maining fury

lusty grotto
#

yeah i haven't, but it's worth a try

errant shuttle
#

tryna see if blizz will accept the i fucked up on my item resto and need to get more items

lusty grotto
#

i suppose you already checked the restoration thing

errant shuttle
#

ye

#

i need to wait until 4/22

lusty grotto
#

rip

errant shuttle
#

but i get 900+ tr per week

#

so ill prob hit another piece

#

before then

lusty grotto
#

you'll probably be given the whole "just wait" thing

errant shuttle
#

yea

#

its not that big of a deal

#

it would bring me up to 1xDC/2x BOM/2xIF/1x BS over the 1xBom i currently have

#

havent really run into anything in 17-19s that truck me so it would just be additional add dmg

sand egret
#

item restores are a PITA

#

so it totally depends on who you talk to, tbh

#

I'd also do it towards the end of the month

wary lantern
#

on 1st mythic "boss" when the crusader is buffed i have to kite him?

sand egret
#

and we all know the season 3 affix is going to be using the "Hostile" mechanic

#

😁
