Ah yes
Warrior, well known and highly regarded for their intelligence
hey guys, can someone explain to me why the heck do some people take Reckless Flurry (Azerite Trait) as prot along with devastator ?! is it really that good or im missing something 🤔 ?
single target dps
also he lost aggro on reaping
Jettom, your warrior wouldn't be scared if it weren't a nightborne lol
MY WARRRIOR RIGHT NOW IS A TAUREN
oh dang, you came to your senses...somewhat
I still dont understand the scenario
what is best addon/wa for marking in dungeons for interrupts?
@sand condor don't chainpull Motherlode
Do u need us to all message him dont chain pull?
Yes please
@wary lantern automarker look it up on wago
@sand condor dont chain pull ml
i chainpulled motherlode
@crimson shadow tyvm
@sand condor save Avatar for reaping plz my hunter dies fast
Misdirect?
on cd
Y on cd?
I have the best MD macro
Hunter 👍
Now, can you modify that macro to cast on the tank role and not a name?
If you're playing bm, does misdirection even do that much
Your pet does everything not you
MM
Oh.
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
🤷 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
we have more deaths than we have solid number %
will do bull
Dont die then, 4head
i did die
push week
so weird for bolster to be a push week tbh
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
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
90
meh pull big and hope your dps can balance
exactly
explosive is the more annoying affix, think we are gonna run triple melee this week
Some pulls its impossible to balance
that better be a hard dungeon
obviously youre not gonna chain pull 500k hp mobs to something with 2kk
motherloade
1st week of m+ in bfa, I had 466 deaths in a 10 temple
i think it has been meme'd
im wow famous
I got a 10 KR first week, 121 deaths
What was the struggle?
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
still chestable probably
posted that sept 7th 2018 into druid discord, since then it has been meme'd
thats literally world first
should have treated it better
@sand condor get back into the game
yea for some reason auto hammers reap, not really sure why
do they run after you and repair your armor?
https://i.imgur.com/grqAkTh.jpg
86:14.526
95 deaths.
@sand condor we did the Motherlode +8!
hope you didnt get a motherlode +7
jettom i have 19 ml you want in on that?
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
well a 10ML should only take about 80min then
Because I always get the worst dungeon every week lol
Sanguine is very annoying
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
❤
what's the affixes this week again? Explosive bolster right?
how tf are prot warriors doing 20k+ on conclave?
aoe, prot has heavy aoe damage, if you do it right
thicc claps
so pretty much bursting on avatar and keeping bosses close enough to hit both?
its only 7 yards, right?
Nah you can’t cleave in conclave in bosses. But you can get the adds close enough.
WTF
padpad
Of course it doesn’t. Why remove for dps but not tanks makes sense.
i guess cause they swap?
Yeah probably.
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.
Grievious is like tyranical on that boss
Run them pockets son, show me what u got out those boxes
ooh bloodsport or blood rite
Sport
thanks
I have a real problem here
just got a meh breastplate
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
There's only 1? Tank trinket
In before war forged two handed
We share trinkets with arms/fury
That too
Yeah so 2 extra trinkets
No shield, but pants with a socket so ill take it
I don't want even a small chance of getting the poop prot trinkets
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
probably
No probably about it. There are more two handers than shit trinkets
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
Could always warforge to 420
good meme
And you never mentioned that at all until just now man. I can only base it off of info I have
😛
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
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?
rings/trinkets with sockets are my only upgrades I can hope for
Of course you're justified in taking OP
Opinion on 1st bloodsport vs Incite the pack?
It has an internal CD of how many stacks can be taken off per hit you take.
Heh, didn't realize OP was that strong... Even for M+?
yes
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.
Yep.
I'm usually at work on tuesdays...when does the chest spawn?
9 AM server time I believe
16 minutes ago for US realms
Is it by server time, or just locked at 9 AM Pacific (for US of course?)
so, how vital is 1 Brace for impact trait, is it a huge difference?
410 cloak for me
@lapis topaz specifically it caps out at roughly 2/s
its the same time for everyone in the same region (US/OCE) or (EU)
so im in oce and its 1am open for me
10am est, 7am PST
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)
guys should i take treacherous covenant or a second deafenin crash?
How well does prot warrior do on tanking M Stormwall? Specifically boats and boss tank
@lunar jackal 2nd deaf imo; its a pretty even split
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.
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
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
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
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
🤷 ur group can get their own trinkets tbh
😄
its time to parse
well I'm only mediocre at tanking, around +14 currently
410 fang bois
Not at all
Feelsbadman
I remember seeing a BDK using it absolutely ages ago, was wrecking massive pulls
Yeah I used to on my blood during bonestorm
bdk has downtime
410 ring with no haste when i have 2x 400 rings with haste pepehands
Prot is gcd locked
I cannot stand BDK in comparison to prot warrior D:
🤷 thats just why fang is usable on bdk, if not very good
Ah, thanks 😃
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
What is bis Azerite for prot warrior on Mythic +? where i can see?
You can look at the MDI and see what people are running
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.
Where can you see that @wheat bronze ?
should note that some of the azerite theyre using you cant actually get at 415
Nice
16-22k dps
What's some of the legion legendaries you guys use for timewalking tanking?
Yeah I've been using that and the healing braces, then using the antorus tank trinket too
my healer got boomie affinity
she got a trait where if she uses starsurge she gets 1500 leach for 20 sec
like wtf
So for ml this week do we just grab as many blood sport traits as we can?
eh
Ayyyy finally hit that 3xBoM 3xDC dream
Pog
not at all
Only if you can do a sick reach-around from the front lmao
lol
So OP > defensive traits or nah ?
OP is a substantial defensive trait in and of itself
is the 400 an upgrade from the 415? my haste without this belt is already @ 1,447
and i guess you cant see it lol
sigh
people link gear all day long
take the higher ilvl
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 😏 )
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
what is the consensus on Strength in Numbers?
"Whats ur other option"
heed
i assume the 3rd is glob cause u didnt mention it
yea
lol
HEeds probably better 🤷
alright
still ok in cleave, strong in ST
HMC?
hey guys
how good is meticulous schemeing for us
tclap >revenger>Ignore pain/shield block makes this trait seem op
At 1ppm, it's probably defeated by the R.N.G. of the engineering goggles' 1.5ppm, so it can't be that op
any tips for mythic rasta? that bwom debuff fucking sucks
I have been playing with that trait for like a month @errant shuttle
it's pretty good
:((((
You dont need to swap
@modern brook would u take scheming over brace for impact?
BFI is pretty strong mate
You have your blood DK basically CD at high stacks, die with ankh totem, and external, and should be done with that phase
I will take this all day; thank you Ivus!
I wouldnt take Schemeing over anything higher on our list than BS
oooof
@sick sentinel
@sick sentinel
Replaced 375 boots with those puppies 😄
If you run that, you might as well run siphoning too tbh
only if they have > 300 Speed, Tofu
@warm plinth u excited for your 420s to drop and u have to replace them?
BFI
BFI is gangsta
SS is still priority in AoE
Well, considering I'm 387 (after the boots), I don't think I'm getting 420s any time soon XD
Thanks
I went 385-405 weapon on my druid
i need more meme dmg
yeah but u finally got an upgrade u were happy with
love them big upgrades
That's pretty good
I am taking scheeming over second DC/BS
these are my traits
BFI also gives you damage, btw
im missing a lot of meme dmg
Would you take Blood Siphon or Crystalline Carapace?
i like bloodsport
blood siphon
Blood Siphon is sexual
and I do not like bloodsport
11% leech boiiiii
that's interesting
ey @brave mauve
fuck you btw
Man, I've been awake for like 15 minutes and already seeing leech
❤
no need dude
well with 3 BoM
oof
even with my fury azerite
😬
oh
i have a solid 1 bom
double bom dc triple BS Never surrender; big swap after 2nd boss
ML tanking more like ML SPanking
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
Doing ml during this week is a mistake it self
hm think its worth to put on 400 pieces? for triple bom?
no? I remember it being "Oh they nerfed the literal 1500 points of mastery we're getting, it might not be insta 3 anymore"
or just keep the 415
I even dropped DC for it lol
i was saying stack that shit from the jump
prepatch 8.1.5 was like 950 Per stack or something stupid like that
"oh noes mah block" was a thing for sure
we were hyping this shit up from the first day it was revealed
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...
THere was a lot of "its the worst trait" because defensively in ST it is
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.
which is what the guide's original azerite list was going with
That has since been fixed
Yeah, that
so would u guys roll iwth 1 bom with all 415 azerite or drop to 3bom 400 ilvl for pushing keys?
Y'all cared about the defensive properties
yeah because it is our worse trait defensively in a raid scenario 🤷
I told you we were gonna be pumpers
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)
Tofu is a big pumper
soon we'll be big bumpers as we get bumped from every application
heyooooo 8.2 gloom train
choo choo
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
choo choo 8.2 gloom train now arriving in happy bear station
I'm riding the "blizz is dumb, but hey they ain't that dumb" train
Now departing denial terminal 😬
i'd be shocked if UF goes untouched
Wut warrior is not op because of reaping
lol
They are literally the most durable tank in the game
against blockables*
🤷 because the raid has a lot of dumb blockable things
^
Raid LUL
this raid does tank damage?
which happens to be the current MO
said it a million times, tanks are born from their environment. Warrior has a long-term scaling issue that is independent of current content
wait slapping a fat x2 on something can cause scaling issues?
NAW FAM
weird
obviously, it'd get hit in the 8.2 rounds
Rentari brought a BDK for a single dungeon run in the cup, tank balance is fine. 😏
yeah thats why its the 8.2 gloom train
depending on the class
not the within the next couple of months gloom train
Maybe its bears time to be op 😬 😬 😬
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.
i just want glad stance back
Yeah but as prot you have to tank
Who needs mass grip when you have snapping 😏
If they keep the prot dps and rogue this busted then somethings not right with Blizz
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
Btw am I the only person who thinks it's crazy that Blizzard is allowing snapping in the MDI?
All damage is relevant
Pad dmg or not if avatars up youre top dps
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
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.
Your overall looks wack
Reaping damage matters
Yes, it does. But reaping is also the reason you dont bring a CD reliant class
@warm plinth snapping?
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
geography abusing to teleport mobs to you. Same as the DHT mushroom bug or whatever.
ahh yes a feature that blizzard put into their game
The damage numbers everyone has atm will drop like a mofo when reaping is out the door
That sounds like something they'll banppl over tbh
They're allowing it in the MDI right now
yeah, now
They're allowing it in MDI and not disqualifying teams, so it'll be hard to enforce anything about it
just building evidence
Which is crazy because iirc they fixed it for the cats in DHT before the MDI?
If you don't like to party, perhaps.
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
Why does vengeance DH have to be so bad this expansion.
:^)
Makes me sad
I literally made that build
wth does gathering storm do for prot
i can't make memes when you are a meme
I literally don't even know how they could make guardian competitive without just giving them 10 charges of fren-regen off the GCD
Make swipe a TC
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
wild
when he told his mates he got hosted by jb they were like "you better quit clicking now!"
lol
Bear is like perfectly fine tbh
def on the low end
but they're no worse off rn than we were in 8.0
the gap from worst to best is a lot smaller than ppl think
except aoe dps and outlaw rogues :p
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
the only tank that needs changes and not tuning is vengeance
Imagine getting destroyed even during spikes
oof
Yeah, definitely not fun.
think they just need more armor
baseline
maybe nerf spikes and buff their base armor
What's the uptime on spikes, anyway? Last time I played, it seemed like 40% or something awful
Veng was so fun in legion
But I also was pepega bad at vdh, so I surely just played it wrong
Veng and BrM
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
I really love it now, but I also really loved it then, too. I don't know which I liked more.
if IP was doing 90% like it used to
Everybody liked the old IP
lmao
If IP was like it was in Legion prot would be the best tank by miles
Spamming SS was funny af in raids
SS spam was unreal. Opening along with some of the actual dps classes
And legendary bracer
i didnt like the old ip
popping on the legs and just solo tanking most heroic fights 😤 👌
ip spammers make me sick
🤢
you could tell a warrior was trash when he ip spamed KJ
and died to fel claws
You didnt have god tier last stand
Ya but u had enough SB to cover everything
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
😮 410 rezan's with leech from box
time to play 3xBS and siphoning :^))))))))))))))
User Epyawn#7969 has been removed from the server.
410 butchers block/410 rezans/400 gigavolt engine? thoughts? double 410s? or the engine and rezans?
WHO THE FUCK MENTIONED LEECH
k
hi benson :^)
block rezan imo
I'd go block and rezans without hesitation tbh
how do you guys have motivation to play this game if you cant find a guild recruiting a tank?
by without hesitation, I mean with 6 minutes of hesitation while I made some food, but still
cause m+ is not my thing its 2nd to raiding for me
Id unsub
I usually just find some petty squabbles and just jump face first into it until I'm happy again
I only play for m+ and if I couldnt find enough groups theres no point
i like the mythic plate set what motivated me to playing a plate class
not only tht tho
there's your problem tbh
playing for style is def not a problem
liking how u look is 90% of what keeps me going
bullfango shops at mens warehouse confirmed
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.
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
🤷 if a mythic guild is looking for a tank
theres a reason
and its rarely a benign one
True
well I completed my mog and there wont ever be a better one
so playing purely for m+
I like playing warrior but...Im having trouble enjoying wow itself...stuck on the "Hopefully next patch will fix it" train
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
What r u rep grinding for?
Lol 3-4 times.....try doing it for the last 14 years.
Champs I guess?
well i levled a new zandalari warrior cause couldnt aford to move server and so needed honorbound
hey guys is there anyone who could help a new prot warrior with some questions would be amazing 😃
ive played since vanilla buel
Where have u been looking for a guild?
#268491842637660160 icy veins guide @junior aurora
mainly tarren mill and kazzak eu
Then you should have done it WAY more than 3-4 times.
if you've read the guide, you can ask questions here
ive got over 10x120s
hey nimchip
wat up guilford
not much
same leech shennanigans as always :p
the moment is at hand
If you got 10 maxed chars you might just be burned out
stalker!
omega
they're slowly converting....muahaha
Honestly I’m sick of progging jaina. So I could see other tanks just being done with it at this point
If you are starting to feel burnt out, I would recommend taking a break.
Ya I gotta take next tier off at least
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
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*
I took a break from raiding since the week before 8.1.5 and it's been refreshing not having to raid.
reminder that xrealm mythic raids opened today in NA
^^
so you don't actually need to move servers
freedom
V excited for being able to easily Pug first 3
leech on a healer lul
you have to have balance affinity for it though
hmmm...
That's fair, because then she does no damage to leech from :^)
well im i cant be mad about that
GL pugging on M opulence, my best attempt was 14%
M oppulence is a guild destroyer tbh
please stop dying to heroic mechanics the fight
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
That's was the deciding factor for my break. Was tired of wiping because dps or healers died
its especially bad for tanks
cause u actually do nothing in that fight
pull him to fence, walk through for crush gg
well fire circle is a lot faster so you can actually die to it if you're bad 😛
@sick sentinel Balance affinity + stacking Switch Hitter?
yes
Luckily I was left side tank
brace
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.
I keep getting recruited to raid again, but I'm really enjoying the casual life for the first time since BC.
what do you all use to log your m+?
i don't have either, but maybe i should grab ert
you dont have... dbm?
deleted dbm and got bigwigs
well bigwigs probably has the option
i'll have to look. i haven't bothered logging them, but have been thinking about starting to
ehm you can also /combatlog
You think it’s similar to heroic until you actually attempt it and realize oh s
someone is scrolled up
how does protwarrior compare to other when it comes to tank opulence and conclave
mythic
thats what i thought
in which your conclusions should be "prot warrior can solo tank oppulence"
I only dps mythic, but i tank heroic for my guild.
there is no tank damage from this mythic raid
Heroic, never seen my drop below 80%
no tank dmg
yes
you ever been slapped by jaina, son?
yes
she hurts a bit
If the face
Last week was fun, I haven’t tanked bolstering before and I’m doing +16 keys
Any advice on shrine?
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.!
?*
did you miss the nerfs to globs
You say free 😏
its hella free this week
Better get ready to start removing dps friends
save slams for orbs amirite
why, they go down in 1 devastate
They spawn slower? Man been having trouble with dps on these high keys with try*
VR+melee
how many explosives can spawn per mob?
hard to say
not that it matters anyway
also reminder that cc'd out of combat mobs don't spawn orbs
Not explosIves, but damage on bosses 😦
should i make a macro for /target it and cast devastate? or doesnt matter? 😄
I like fort week, feel like tanks can push or control it more so then try
is there a list of CC's that don't allows mobs to bolster?
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
that's the thing, i'm not sure which ones, and whenever i play with classes and i ask this question, people never know
anything else is good 👍
if your DH is bad and gets in combat before imprisoning...
yeah it shouldn't happen
Does the last boss of underrot excessive spores spawn explosives?
pretty much jonathon
they do spawn explosives, but not that many
that was heavily nerfed early on
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
you can also in combat cc, and drag dying mobs away
yeah
but i think you gotta be 30 yards away at least
and LOS works
I had to do that last week, or they would get healed. Learned real fast after the first one
Sanguine ptsd
i hated boralus this week... fookin marksmens standing in sanguine
?
So many los spots. I go up the steps for the pack before the mini bridge
it was fun
tell that to random ppl
I mean if you have agro you should be fine
Not sure which one, but if you have agro they follow you . From my attempts
Marksmen, wavelengths?
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
I do an los then taunt
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*
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.
Real life.
Yeah :(
Man mini boss is rough.
4manning zul without lust on fort week might be rough
I was like lust on this mini boss
Hes wayyyyyy too stronk
Barely made it alive
Least this week doesnt seem too bad
When you join a pug, and they didn’t plan for lust.
Just kite zul
You stare at your bags of drums 😦
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?
they'd be on par
or we'd be on par
ring of peace and paralyze might be slightly better
they would still be best even if they dont do shit ton of damage
base on the fact that they take 0 damage.
I mean, you'd like to hope they can't. But they do that type of shit all the time.
reaping is almost over
I've lvled both to 60 over past few days. And pre 60 warrior certainly seems more fluid and feels better to tank with
Brewmaster is actually utter shit at lower levels
unless youre pushing like 20+ it really doesn't matter what you play
depending on the seasonal next season, we will shine when we can pull big
You're better off tanking with a DPS
but yes lala is also right
again im not sure why the question comes up with "without warrior's damage"
War without the dmg doesnt make much sense
Yea brewmaster is much harder at the mo, does rushing jade wind help it? @warm plinth
its not that
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.
its just why look at hypotheticals at all?
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?
flip a coin?
whats your goal '-'
why are you listing non-prot specifics?
No choice. I guess I could go with prot on the shoulders
grong isn't that awful :p
shock value
😱
I don’t have bs and defeaning those are my only options other than bfi
cthraxxi has IF
odd flex
....
what does having a 425 shield have to do with anything?
because it's a flex
inb4 he mentions "soft cap"
No not that, more block has high diminishing returns
you talking shit about my boy lepan ??
.... it doesnt
Doesn’t increase much.
yes it fucking does
lol
bro
Oh. Okay.
you have a shoulders without BoM
man Nim getting baited
I’m not debating I’m trying to learn
l e e c h
tbh you've had this answer given to you like 10 times in the past few weeks.
would you guys use a block or rezan
I unironically prefer Block :^)
its a toss up
but they're both solid I wouldn't really be kicking myself
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
It's a pretty specific circumstance, for sure, but it's valid.
block is more damage right?
both parse similarly for damage
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
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
yep
Just because the good isn't getting gooder, doesn't mean you can't still get more good
gimme dat block
Oh Kay, yeah I’ll do some calculations. I’ll correct myself. Ctrax does not have defeaning. It has bloodsport and if :).
someone say bloodsport? 😏
Yeah
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.
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
Ahh, so swirling sands only would affect my parry, but not my crit block
Gotchu
I was conflicted with that
with 3 BoMs your chance to crit block goes up to 60% on avatar windows
that's 3 BoMs and around 24% mastery
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.
Learn something new everyday.
when 445 shields hit, K values will be adjusted
Gonna have to be, or we'll be invincible
so it probably will remain the same
I think people will push higher. But will just require better gear^^
ah, okay, see I’m new. First season. :(. Ima stop my scrutiny for the day.
if k values increase (as they do every season) your block dr goes down
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
block DR = BV / (BV + K)
Bless you. I have a formula
its actually the same formula as armor
I know it’s in the spreadsheet
except armor will be armor dr = armor amount / (armor amount + K)
whereas armor is consistent, but block is not
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.
unless shield block is up or last stand
and crit block is inconsistent but affected by mastery
Need to copy and paste this knowledge lmao.
have any of u guys ever gotten blizz support to reopen your item resto if you fucked up?
I can't even get an answer about the artful dodging leg transmog out of them, much less actual help with an item
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
yeah i haven't, but it's worth a try
tryna see if blizz will accept the i fucked up on my item resto and need to get more items
i suppose you already checked the restoration thing
rip
you'll probably be given the whole "just wait" thing
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
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
on 1st mythic "boss" when the crusader is buffed i have to kite him?
@jovial jewel yo my guy
My dude
I typed like 2 paragraphs
About shield ilvl
For you
Like a week ago
And you come back and ask the exact same stuff
hence my response above
