#

Nah but for real. I like both a lot.

oblique garnet
#

Depending on the seasonal affix pallies might be able to overtake warriors

chilly brook
#

And tbh no one really cares if talking about other tanks as long as you aren’t distracting from an actual question etc

modern brook
#

what i like about tanks in wow

#

is that they all hit a niche that maeks them fun to play in their own right

#

except vengence

#

but i did specify tanks so whatever

trail dome
#

I was literally typing

#

What about vdh

strong forum
#

thing is @inland bolt most of the people you see here talking play prot regardless of fotm

trail dome
#

then you said it and i started typing

#

“Well you said tank specs”

modern brook
#

As someone who only 50% paying attention to 8.2 spoilers

trail dome
#

Stupid mobile. I’d have gotten at least one of them in on a keyboard.

modern brook
#

I know they wanted the new S.affix to be singel target oriented

#

Pallies are the go to for ST damage, imo

trail dome
#

Honestly I barely played Prot in Legion. But that’s cause I enjoy playing a bunch of tanks and just play what’s best for guild. Or my m+ team.

modern brook
#

VDH honestly might be good too

#

depends on how many / the efficiacy of its buffs

sick sentinel
#

410 rezan with a socket

#

finally a rezan dropped noice

trail dome
#

It was good in m+ at the end of legion.

lusty grotto
#

gz melva!

trail dome
#

That’s my only experience with vdh really.

chilly brook
#

I reinstalled....again.....

modern brook
#

xd idiot

chilly brook
#

I know

modern brook
#

griff u dont like wow

lusty grotto
#

hey man

modern brook
#

stop spending money on it

sand egret
#

no surprise

lusty grotto
#

8.2 is coming and rerollers are hopping off

chilly brook
#

VDH is fun tho

lusty grotto
#

;D

modern brook
#

lol vdh

#

wtf is wrong with you

lusty grotto
#

vdh was fun in legion for sure

modern brook
#

everything was fun in legion*

lusty grotto
#

only tank that was worth playing after prot

#

for me

oblique garnet
#

@modern brook The nerf to warriors will put us about equal to pallies in ST without the essences which might change alot

chilly brook
#

Its not like it’ll matter, I’ll be able to play for like a week and then off to my job and traveling so won’t even be able to play until August which means I’m really just reinstalling so I don’t have to install Classic later

trail dome
#

Fun dps in legion.

sick sentinel
#

@lusty grotto thanks man

modern brook
#

@oblique garnet i thought pallies were alerady above us in ST cause of seraphim / Wings

trail dome
#

Can you play sera?

modern brook
#

my paladin is level 72

oblique garnet
#

They are not

modern brook
#

I dont fucking know 🤷

trail dome
#

In Legion (last time i played a lot) it was v hard to justify on prog.

#

Lazel played it in EN but that wasnt a real raid tbf.

modern brook
#

@oblique garnet when u coming to the bad side of the pond?

#

I'm trying to dps for a better tank than @lusty grotto

sick sentinel
#

OH MY GUD PROT NERFED

modern brook
#

:^)

oblique garnet
#

NA ? I didnt get the job so hard to say

sick sentinel
#

nooo

#

prot nerfs btw

modern brook
#

Dang man

sick sentinel
#

did people cried already

modern brook
#

sorry to hear

lusty grotto
#

yikes melva

#

yeah you're way late

sick sentinel
#

😦

#

rip was doing keys

sand egret
#

no that's Melva

lusty grotto
#

its ok its ok

modern brook
#

I hope we get nerfed back to"unplayability"

lusty grotto
#

i lost my cry count

sick sentinel
#

idk man as long as i have fun and my class not holding me back giga

modern brook
#

so i can style on kids again

sick sentinel
#

i play what i want

lusty grotto
#

was at 8 before i went to sleep yesterday

modern brook
#

I just wanna be viable

sand egret
#

naw totally not viable

sick sentinel
#

like people cried prot was horrible in antorus and all that but it was great

modern brook
#

Prot was bad in legion 100% because everything did magic damage

sick sentinel
#

i loved the playstyle and it was strong

#

well for m+ yes we lacked stuff for sure

modern brook
#

with the removal of magic res on tanks

sick sentinel
#

but for raiding i enjoyed it alot i had okey score

modern brook
#

and the increased focus of PHysical damage that bfa brought

#

block is just broken

sand egret
#

^

lusty grotto
#

not increased focus

#

the nerfs to magical mitigation

#

and consequent adjustment of it on content

#

making physical damage more prevalent

modern brook
#

fuck ur semantics dude

#

same diff

sand egret
#

ACHTUALLY

trail dome
#

I was convinced because of that paradigm shift bdk would be insane.

lusty grotto
#

negative bull!

modern brook
#

😠

#

😡

#

oops

trail dome
#

Rip

lusty grotto
#

LMAO

#

quality emoji

sick sentinel
#

idk tho if lets say a class i consider fun is top meta i can play it

#

like vdh

#

but if its bdk or guardian

#

cba

lusty grotto
#

:jailbait:

#

aww

sick sentinel
#

i hate those classes

trail dome
#

Bdk is fun. 😠

sand egret
#

to each their own 😃

sick sentinel
#

what

#

no

modern brook
#

guardian is fun

sick sentinel
#

no 😡

modern brook
#

low key; guardian and resto are the best specs

sand egret
#

let's not get into "fun" this early

modern brook
#

because u can play feral

sick sentinel
#

hahaaha just messing around

modern brook
#

without having to deal with feral's horse shit

lusty grotto
#

it's not friday therefore not fun

sick sentinel
#

but we can all agree prot is best

modern brook
#

Prot sucks

#

plz buff

#

unplayable class

sick sentinel
#

lel

#

buff more

trail dome
#

Guardian was fun with luffa and.... whatever the other thing was.

modern brook
#

being a cat

lusty grotto
#

boomy leggo?

trail dome
#

And you’d incarn and pull whole beerhall in hov

lusty grotto
#

for galactic defender

#

or w/e

sand egret
#

not gonna lie, I have more fun on my bear than i do on my warrior, currently.

trail dome
#

Nah that was diff build.

lusty grotto
#

you still used luffa

modern brook
#

.> its galactic GUARDIAN

sand egret
#

naw

#

you didnt

lusty grotto
#

🤷

sand egret
#

u used LatC and the Cape

#

and never died 😃

modern brook
#

Lactate and the cape

lusty grotto
#

🤷

trail dome
#

Thats it.

sand egret
#

i miss lazer bear though. I really wish they added a trait to give smart targeting back to moonfire but w/e

trail dome
#

Lady and the child and cape thingy.

sand egret
#

yeah, fun times

trail dome
#

Much better for pushing

#

But weekly 15? Luffa incarn lets go.

#

Tbf that’s basically avatar these days.

#

Spam clap.

#

But yeah. My plan for next patch is get both prots to 400 ish.

#

Should be fine to dive in m+ with that.

lusty grotto
#

yeah

sand egret
#

tbh, I think overall next patch most tanks will be in a pretty good spot, factoring in the flexibility that Essences bring to the table

#

so you really won't go wrong, no matter the tank

lusty grotto
#

entry level for this season as 370 anyway so 400 should be fine

#

that's never the case blade lol

#

but we'll see

sand egret
#

hard disagree but yeah

lusty grotto
#

curse community perception

#

i mean lately of course

#

considering m+ is kinda recent

sand egret
#

oh, if by "wrong" you mean a label, then yes that stigma will happen

lusty grotto
#

there has been content where tank picks didn't matter

sand egret
#

but "wrong" in the genuine sense, no

trail dome
#

Tbf i usually hard prefer optimal to viable.

#

I want to push the 99th %ile

sand egret
#

well that's a different conversation 😃

trail dome
#

Yeah.

#

Its also why i play multiple chars. 🤷

sand egret
#

I just hate when those two, different, convos get conflated =/

late imp
#

hey guys need pawn stats for warrior prot any1 can help me thx a lot 😃

sand egret
#

hmmm

trail dome
#

Don’t use pawn.

lusty grotto
#

we don't use pawn

#

sorry it's simple enough

sand egret
#

that's the better way to put it

lusty grotto
#

ilvl > all

late imp
#

another god addon

#

?

lusty grotto
#

no

sand egret
#

it's built into the default UI

lusty grotto
#

ilvl > all, go for that

sand egret
#

check the ilvl stat 😃

trail dome
#

Literally ilvl. Ilvl = more armour. Armour is good.

late imp
#

okaaaay

trail dome
#

Also, secondaries v close.

sand egret
#

well it's more so that more stats > specific stats

trail dome
#

Why you hating on armour. More armour is more better.

late imp
#

okay thx a lot bros !

sand egret
#

ya don't start to nitpick until it's equal ilvl, then it's a still pretty even with haste taking the top spot

trail dome
#

Haste > crit if you’re not afraid, otherwise vers.

sand egret
#

but yeah, gearing is really easy for Prot Spuky

trail dome
#

But ilvl always.

winter aspen
#

Not on rings

sand egret
#

oh hell yeah, I was just informed that someone hooked up Twisted Metal 2 in the office. lata nerds

trail dome
#

True. Jewellery is different.

#

No glorious armour stat for one.

chilly brook
#

Not really

#

Even on rings the argument is still made for ilvl

#

More stats>”better” stats

sick sentinel
#

Hi, should i go for 3xDC and 1xBom or 2xDC and 2xBom?

lusty grotto
#

for what content

sick sentinel
#

M+

lusty grotto
#

2x BoM

#

ideally 3

chilly brook
#

Ideally 3x BoM

#

Damn

#

Beat me

lusty grotto
#

2fast4u griff

chilly brook
#

2tru

sick sentinel
#

So 3xbom and 1xdc would be better?

chilly brook
#

Yes

lusty grotto
#

yup

sick sentinel
#

And for raid?

chilly brook
#

Pretty sure that’s also in a guide somewhere 🤔

#

Same for that question 🤔

lusty grotto
#

for raid? uhh anything with 1x DC, but BoM isn't as good in raid settings as other traits but yes it's in the icy veins guide

sick sentinel
#

Ill simm it anyway, just wondering about public knowledge

#

Thank you

lusty grotto
#

you'll only sim damage

#

idk if that's specifically what you're interested in for raids

chilly brook
#

Yes I’m an ass

sick sentinel
#

😉 I am noob, so ill read the guide first nexttime

lusty grotto
#

if you're a noob

#

you shouldn't be simming

#

cause you want defensive options

#

and simming doesn't give any value to defensiveness

sand egret
#

^

sick sentinel
#

I will ask no more and go in guide

sand egret
#

you should ask more, just do that after seeing if any of those questions are already answered there 😃

warm plinth
#

Griff naeno

chilly brook
#

@sick sentinel nah man feel free to ask, but just recognize that a lot of questions are most likely already answered in the guide 😉

clever oasis
#

PTR thunderclap nerf again? Down to 30% bonus during spam?

warm plinth
#

Indeed. Marok already addressed it; it's in the pins my good man

clever oasis
#

Hahaha. Nice nice. Thanks. Good info. Lol@ dragon roar

carmine ibex
#

What do you guys think of a 410 rezan's vs a 415 butcher block. I'm at levels of haste now that I feel like extra haste isn't being properly utilized because of inefficient GCD usage on my part (fumbling a cast, awkward latency, etc)

lusty grotto
#

can't go wrong with block

#

you got 20% haste before ITF?

carmine ibex
#

rezan's is better on paper but I feel like the block is more consistent

lusty grotto
#

at least?

carmine ibex
#

oh yeah

#

40% with ITF

lusty grotto
#

ya go block most definitely

#

this is for M+ right?

carmine ibex
#

of course

lusty grotto
#

yup yup

carmine ibex
#

yeah thats what I figured

warm plinth
#

Why would you need 20% haste before ITF?

carmine ibex
#

rezans still sims way higher but i just don't feel like it will in the real world

lusty grotto
#

both are solid options

#

but the parries you gain from block

#

are solid

carmine ibex
#

yeah

#

that was my thought as well, defensively, haste is really good, but not if I can't properly utilize it

#

im at 23% haste and 17% crit before ITF/overwhelming power

lusty grotto
#

haste is always good, but a bit of crit is great as well in M+

#

so balancing those 2 out is good

ivory barn
warm plinth
#

That's unfortunate

ivory barn
lusty grotto
#

okay?

carmine ibex
#

I just got the last piece I needed for 3BoM+ 3DC

#

so I'm gunna go full mongo this week

ivory barn
#

what would you recommend changing around stat wise?

warm plinth
#

What's with the 20% haste before ITF thing? Seen that a few times lately and I'm not understanding it.

#

Nothing. If it's your highest ilevel stuff, you're doing it right.

ivory barn
#

so even if you have like no haste but you have a 425 ilvl you are still considered good?

exotic spoke
#

I mean, I had a screenshot of me being off from next level of azerite at the end of the week by 1 AP

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

even if you have no haste

#

you are gearing up

exotic spoke
#

@ivory barn stats don’t say if you’re good or not. It’s certainly not optimal - but it’s fine if that’s your highest ilvl.

Our stats are all very close in terms of what they give us. So much so that more stats are better than fewer better stats

#

Ideally, yes, you want haste. But you don’t want to sacrifice Ilvl

ivory barn
#

and gem/enchant haste? I've gemmed Crit >.<

sick sentinel
#

🤔

ivory barn
#

according to Icyveins

exotic spoke
#

Do you do mostly m+ or mostly raids

lusty grotto
#

icy veins certainly doesn't say gem crit

ivory barn
#

M+

lusty grotto
#

so you're kinda wrong there

exotic spoke
#

Do you need survivability?

warm plinth
#

If you're doing primarily M+ it's not a bad idea to gem crit if you don't need more survival.

#

Since crit gets way better in AoE

ivory barn
#

it doesnt say gem crit, i've came from fury where you crave crit

exotic spoke
#

^^ what ghash said - but that’s because it’s a powerful dps stat with some nice survivability

Ahh ok that makes sense

sick sentinel
#

Crit is good after the 20-22% haste mark

warm plinth
#

Where is this 20-22% haste mark coming from

sick sentinel
#

General experience

warm plinth
#

??? So feelycraft?

exotic spoke
#

So, if you don’t need survivability then you tend to focus on dps - which is where crit comes into play. It also gives parry which is nice - and due to how randomness works - volume makes it more reliable

#

Rads the key point is that’s where it worked for you. It’ll be slightly different for everyone.

Anyway, off to meetings - cya all last

#

Later*

sick sentinel
#

Your main tool in m+ is TC

lusty grotto
#

this is why i usually don't repeat the 20% thing, because people take it like they should be doing it without knowing the details

undone sun
#

crit is good, but it doesn't matter after what point

lusty grotto
#

crit isn't good because of TC

#

so let me stop you right there

sick sentinel
#

Can that be off CD? Not really. It's always every 2nd GCD meaning stacking haste will not get it off CD unless you gain immense amount of haste, which is not possible at this point. So why sacrifice better stats for a stat that has done it's part.

warm plinth
#

Except haste doesn't only reduce the cooldown of Thunder Clap

sick sentinel
#

True, but what do you prioritize in m+

lusty grotto
#

for M+ you take ilvl > haste = crit > everything else, just about

potent anvil
#

Getting 200% haste is possible through haste procs/trinkets with or maybe without lust making TC every GCD. So there's that.

lusty grotto
#

so its not bad to balance both haste and crit depending on your need

#

and only if you understand what each of them bring and under what circumstances

oblique garnet
#

@potent anvil Got the weapon finally deswind

potent anvil
#

@oblique garnet deswind

warm plinth
#

Haste also increases rage generation and reduces the CDs of most of our rotational abilities, and indirectly (through the increased rage generation and AM) decreases CDs of Avatar, Demo Shout, Last Stand, and Shield Wall.

solar delta
#

Is safeguard needed in a 19 FH this week?

#

I feel like probably not right?

oblique garnet
#

Not on a 19

#

it helps but its not needed

warm plinth
#

Deswind are you still 4 425s away?

potent anvil
#

Depends if a 19 is your current key limit, but at this point people should generally be geared enough to survive.

lusty grotto
#

take it IMO

#

safeguard

#

can't go wrong with it anyways

solar delta
#

I've never actually done it

potent anvil
#

Yes, unfortunately Ghash. 🙁

warm plinth
#

😦

solar delta
#

Mainly for second boss yeah/>

lusty grotto
#

gz late gz!

#

works on first boss too

#

dont want your mates to get combo'd

solar delta
#

or first boss should I just be randomly safeguardiaing one of the melee?

potent anvil
#

First boss, you use a @targettarget macro. Or @mouseover if you're quick on the reflex.

#

You safeguard p2 of first boss, when he picks someone for azerite powdershot.

#

Primarily the melee.

solar delta
#

I thought first boss was random where he shoots and second boss is where you focus target and watch for the change of target?

oblique garnet
#

Range dps and healers can just use the pillar under the house to never get hit by them

solar delta
#

Yaeh it's triple melee pepe

unborn island
#

Won't safeguarding the first boss like...kill you? Surely you would get hit fully by the shot too?

#

I haven't done one high enough for it to be an issue, just a thought

potent anvil
#

Safeguard at minimum range that doesnt move you aka melee needs to be tight, but spread enough to not hit each other from the ability's arc.

unborn island
#

Ah yeah

#

Makes sense

#

I'm not quick enough to do it I think

potent anvil
#

It's very difficult, possibly not doable, with 3 melee, since well, someone is gonna overlap.

unborn island
#

I manage Eudora, do I'll stick with that

potent anvil
#

That's why you use an @targettarget macro. You mash it until he picks a target.

warm plinth
#

Yeah, since you can't intercept yourself, it takes the thinking out of it

potent anvil
#

Assuming range and healer are far away for you not to intercept. Otherwise, that would kill you.

unborn island
#

Yeah

#

Was just thinking that's a brilliant idea, apart from that scenario :)

carmine ibex
#

Eudora's is a ranged attack and it's blockable, I don't think Kragg's is blockable

unborn island
#

Macro it to all abilities

carmine ibex
#

better of positioning to avoid doubles than safeguarding

#

every healer can deal with kragg as long as it's not overlapping

potent anvil
#

We're talking about p2 of the fight, not p1.

unborn island
#

Isn't it a 1shot on a high enough key?

#

(I won't do it, Because I don't do 23s)

potent anvil
#

If you're not prepared for it as a melee, yeah.

carmine ibex
#

not until 22 or 23 minimum

#

20-21 tyr is not a oneshot on anyone, esp if you have some resoundings or something

unborn island
#

Fair enough, guess beyond that it's 'use a stamina flask' territory?

carmine ibex
#

and kraggs is aoe, meaning if you fuck up the safeguard you might just kill yourself

potent anvil
#

Well, can't assume that. But I suppose most people would be grouping with others they trust anyway at that point.

unborn island
#

Yeah, got that

carmine ibex
#

i.e. you safegard 0-.5 sec too late, and then take the hit, and 30% of their hit

#

and you die

#

where eudora is interveneable, you don't need safeguard

#

you take is instead

potent anvil
#

That's why positioning is key. It's like a tight "T" formation.

carmine ibex
#

yep ^

#

kragg is all about positioning

#

take crackling thunder in FH , nothing needs safeguard

unborn island
#

Last time I did it,the ranged dude stood outside

carmine ibex
#

and there's lots of big pulls

unborn island
#

Meaning every fucking poop landed on the melee

lusty grotto
#

you can have your heals bait it

#

just make him follow the parrot

#

he shoots it a whoever is closest to it

carmine ibex
#

yeah its rough in melee, our healer stopped standing out

lusty grotto
#

doesnt have to be right on its nuts but closer than other people

carmine ibex
#

cause a melee poop + shot combo can kill

lusty grotto
#

yup

carmine ibex
#

better off letting the healer take the chip damage from poop and heal it thru leech and shit

#

kragg is the hardest boss in there on high tyr

#

so unforgiving

#

euroda is a joke with intervene, tartgettarget marco, anytime I see someone <60% hp I just hit it and totally negate the mechanic since it's blockable

exotic spoke
#

They can also LoS it

#

Which is an even better solution

carmine ibex
#

i don't intervene healer or ranged

#

just the melee

#

healer humps the pillar

exotic spoke
#

Healer is dps imo 😃

carmine ibex
#

and i only do it on melee if there is a reasonable chance of them dying

exotic spoke
#

Kitty dps is best dps (I know rsham dps is best dps)

coral jasper
#

its close but cap on aoe

#

also ... healers are a dps .. and a spot healer

carmine ibex
#

and like this week, if I intervene the healer , i might not have the time to check to makr ssure there's not one of those jolly swords between us or something

coral jasper
#

i ahte seeing healers not dps i haaaate it so bad

carmine ibex
#

its a quick reaction thing

#

so I only do it on melee so as not to fly all over the place and fuck up positioning/take extra damage

#

pillar humping is so easy for ranged

#

they lose very little uptime

exotic spoke
#

I tend to not pug. So my rdruid and I are pretty comfortably with each other.

Did UR 19 last night. He died on second boss - I said I’m pulling after I eat and he’s running back

Our dps were like - no healer.

carmine ibex
#

also, have any of you guys been dragging Raul with you after the event?

exotic spoke
#

Psch.... it’s all physical

coral jasper
#

yeah its a great benefit nev

exotic spoke
#

No? Didn’t know you could

coral jasper
#

not this week maybe bc of necrotic

carmine ibex
#

Yeah, I actually styumbled across it by accident

#

and I was liike holy shit

#

and then I realized people already knew about it

coral jasper
#

itll keep giving the dmg increase

#

yeah but nobody does it that im aware

carmine ibex
#

yeah, the first time I noticed it, I brought him all the way to turtle

coral jasper
#

not only raaul that it works w btw

exotic spoke
#

How do you keep him with you?

coral jasper
#

stay in combat

#

pull something before you kill 2 enemies

carmine ibex
#

but I did it on my DID prot paladin with like 13412341 ways to drop necro

coral jasper
#

can use a hunters pet on the training dummies if you want

exotic spoke
#

Interesting.

carmine ibex
#

so might be a little more harrowing on the warrior

coral jasper
#

and itll keep him in combat

carmine ibex
#

I've never done it with eudora or jolly

coral jasper
#

yeah BS def the way to go this week for prot war

#

i mean deepnding on comp

exotic spoke
#

I mean - necrotic doesn’t hurt us that badly

#

I don’t really care in most cases until 30 stacks

carmine ibex
#

I've been running with a WW lately too for ring

#

super nice

#

and a ret paladin for a bop cancel

#

and I'm DID

exotic spoke
#

Hit 70 stacks last night before I started kiting

carmine ibex
#

at what key level

exotic spoke
#

19

carmine ibex
#

oof

coral jasper
#

not bad on warriors either

exotic spoke
#

TOS gauntlet. Was a joke lol

coral jasper
#

nice absorb

carmine ibex
#

oh

#

snake room

coral jasper
#

i got to 99 on tos gaunt

carmine ibex
#

yeah i've done that

#

fucking hilarious

exotic spoke
#

Absorbs are blah this week. Don’t use my diamond at all

carmine ibex
#

healer screaming

#

I've not used diamond for awhile now

exotic spoke
#

That was after I got to 50 and used DiD

carmine ibex
#

been doing alch stone and block

#

i've got tons of opulence kils on my warrior too and still don't have a 415 diamond, I've got 2 415 diamonds on my BDK and prot paladin

#

who each have 1/5th the kills of the warrior

For like raid, what do you guys use for traits. I like got 3 bloodsport. 1 each of DC BM brace for impact.

exotic spoke
#

Bloodsport is blah imo

carmine ibex
#

1 BoM 1 Tc, and multiple BFIs if you're actually progressing passed 6/9M

#

if you're doing earlier bosses than just do basically whatever tbh

#

I use m+ gear

#

3BoM and 2-3xTCs just to pump on the damage meters

exotic spoke
#

@carmine ibex we’ve seen 3 diamonds in 12 kills and dps have started loot specking tank because just going

carmine ibex
#

also people hate on bloodsport

#

but I like it in certain dungeons

#

not raid tho

exotic spoke
#

Personally, for mythic - I use 3 BoM, 1 DC and two defensive (usually 1 BfI and 1 IF because I never got a second BfI)

lusty grotto
#

It's good on raids

#

And in ml

carmine ibex
#

yeah I mean it's good on some fights too

lusty grotto
#

Yeah

carmine ibex
#

i don't think it is as bad as people rag on it

#

I've used it lots

#

and when you have 2 of them it feels very good to push IP

#

even if it's not as good on paper

#

but I admit it's total feelycraft

lusty grotto
#

It's not bad, but there are def better

carmine ibex
#

nevertheless I still have a 3BoM 2xBS 1xTC set that I run a lot

exotic spoke
#

I honestly don’t like bloodsport.

lusty grotto
#

People confuse that by thinking it's bad

carmine ibex
#

it's situational

exotic spoke
#

The IP gain and leech are blah usually.

But that’s personal preference

lusty grotto
#

soaking blockades for example

exotic spoke
#

And it works for you

#

Nim - that’s why we let the Bdk outof his cage

carmine ibex
#

2x bloodsport on 19tyr ML, or on fortified shrine is (or just feels) awesome imo

lusty grotto
#

Sometimes you just don't have the roster options Riki

neon tangle
#

@exotic spoke my new guild has a frost and blood DK

exotic spoke
#

Sounds like a nimchy problem

neon tangle
#

I think I might be safe

exotic spoke
#

Oh!? What are you playing now - still dk sadbox?

neon tangle
#

rogue!

carmine ibex
#

blood sport is also good if you're trying to legendary heal parse

#

kap

exotic spoke
#

Ewww

#

Rogue

neon tangle
#

who doesn't like rogues?

exotic spoke
#

They are sneaky and underhanded

neon tangle
#

that's the best part

#

i snek, i steb

#

i r unded

exotic spoke
#

But you don’t protec

neon tangle
#

I leave that to the baer boi

exotic spoke
#

Furry? Rip

#

I kid I kid

neon tangle

even weirder, he's an aussie

#

but like, not a bogan

Oi! Oi! Oi

chilly brook
#

Do I take a nap or nah?

modern brook
#

dude

#

I saw a forsaken warrior the other day

#

I asked him why he hated his mother so much but he just walked away

chilly brook
#

Lul

modern brook
#

smh

chilly brook
#

I saw a forsaken warrior yesterday too his name was Preach and I cried watching him play

vocal skiff
#

I used to play forsaken warrior, but then it was originally an RP character

#

When zandalari came, and I was no longer that invested in RP, I switched to it

neon tangle
#

I just play whatever fits the class, e.g. troll shammy, orc/forsaken warrior, forsaken dk/rogue

ivory barn
#

I think this upcoming M+ season ima soloy focus on tanking

#

and dont do any fury unless I absolutly have to

sick sentinel
#

Hello😊quick question, how do we heal our selfs. I have only like 5k hps and i use ignore Pain effectively

hard tendon
#

make friends with a healer

sick sentinel
#

I see, that on reaping are warrior capable of 20 hps, just i do not know if is it with trait or how

lusty grotto
#

our class isnt self reliant, youre interpreting that wrong

warm plinth
#

Ignore Pain is an absorb that is tracked as a heal (as most absorbs are). You're not actually healing with it.

sick sentinel
#

I watch few vids of sense nurfed warrior and hes healing him self quite nice

#

or absorbing as you said

warm plinth
#

Could be a lot of things. Impassive Visage, Resounding Protection, Diamond-Laced Refracting Prism, Ignore Pain, Last Stand, Rallying Cry, etc. etc.

#

Likely a combination of things

carmine ibex
#

rallying doesn't count as a heal

sick sentinel
#

Makes sence

#

So its comb of gear, trait and abils

fluid sun
#

You can also get quite a few Victory Rush procs during reap

carmine ibex
#

Yes.

fluid sun
#

That helps a ton

lusty grotto
#

yeah quite a lot of them actually

warm plinth
#

Yeah it's a combination, but not one you should strive to achieve. We mitigate so much damage that we don't need to self-heal.

carmine ibex
#

impassive visage, resounding protection, diamond prisim all contribute a lot to healing meters

#

^

#

dont bother chasing hps

sick sentinel
#

Right, thanks

oblique garnet
#

also on reaping its probably vampiric speed

#

and victory rush

carmine ibex
#

yeah you can basically VR every other GCD if you want

steady hawk
#

TC > VR alternating has saved my hide many times

Winds of war or overwhelmign power ? For survi.

OP

tulip panther
#

sleep for sanity

undone sun
#

🤣

#

lost that long ago

#

why do you think im still here

tulip panther
#

fair enough

#

like, i sleep like 5hours a day, an im from EU and yet you are always online 😡

undone sun
#

i can easily operate on 3-4 hours

livid mauve
#

Sorry if it's been asked before, but does the shield block from bolster count for buffing slam damage?

undone sun
#

no

livid mauve
#

bummer

tulip panther
#

yo, we have a Techies-main, quick, ban him

livid mauve
#

I don't play them, I just appreciate what they're about

tulip panther
#

oof

#

soo...this weeks free for prot warriors,since you cant get bled when you block ?

lusty grotto
#

huh?!?

final mist
#

That’s

undone sun
#

no...

final mist
#

Not how necrotic works

tulip panther
#

but i was told 2 days ago that you cant get bled if you block the attack

lusty grotto
#

bled?

#

what

tulip panther
#

bleed, bled ?

lusty grotto
#

who told you this

#

you can't avoid bleeds with block

#

you can parry very specific ones

#

like KR's

#

block doesn't make you immune to their application

tulip panther
#

oh nvm it was parry, herpderp

warm plinth
#

You can parry or dodge the application of any bleed triggered by an auto attack. But yeah, you still take the hit on a block so you still get the bleed.

zinc rose
#

Does the opulence shield have to break completely to regenerate?

distant crystal
#

ye

#

i've heard a few tanks saying they "blocked" a bleed, i think it's really just a syntax thing

#

they parried the attack and "blocked" the bleed

lusty grotto
#

idk i've never had it break on me, #protlife

#

oppulence shield breaking smh 😎

distant crystal
#

just stand in the coinstack 4head

lusty grotto
#

lmao

tulip panther
#

cant get broken if you dont have the trinket 😎

sand egret
#

to be fair, only 2 of the tanks actually have use of the term "block" anyway 😃

lusty grotto
#

trinket?

#

we're talking about the fight

distant crystal
#

maybe he just doesn't grab a gem

#

like a real man

tulip panther
#

oh that one lul

lusty grotto
#

i mean yeah you can do that

tulip panther
#

i should take less drungs

lusty grotto
#

since oppu doesnt do shit against prot blocks

#

😎

modern brook
#

My guild is still bashing against M Oppu

#

I say "still" as if its been a long time

#

M prog was on hold for a while

lusty grotto
#

i mean, its one of the hard fights

modern brook
#

yeah

#

ITs been i think 4 weeks if they cant down it today

#

which is on par with like actual prog

#

just ~40 ilvls higher than it :^(

distant crystal
#

opulence took us more pulls on reclear than mekka

#

kek

#

but not more than stormwall

modern brook
#

I learned i hate prog raiding

#

It might be just how fucking brain dead tanking is

#

but wiping for 3 hours due to everyone else's mistakes

#

just aint fun

#

reclearing is fun

#

:^)

distant crystal
#

when we were doing opulence i'd play great for like 2.5 hours of progress and then i'd join the inters toward the end xd

#

but i raid on spriest mostly, not warr

near ivy
#

yo @distant crystal

distant crystal
#

you got my screenshot?

#

err

near ivy
distant crystal
#

armory link

#

kek

near ivy
#

WCL logs link

#

of it dropping

#

idk if they equipped it

#

courtesy of silmarilen

distant crystal
#

where's the link

distant crystal
#

damn a mage would prob never equip that

tulip panther
#

100k is almost half months sub Pog

distant crystal
#

i think that prob means i'm wrong but it's still not an armory link 😮

#

but it's only a matter of time now

near ivy
#

armory link is semantics

#

you wanted something that could not lie

#

WCL does not lie

warm plinth
#

It's most of a month's sub in NA :p

lusty grotto
#

hmm

#

this is probably a stupid question but

tulip panther
#

no 🙂 no dumb questions

lusty grotto
#

you can't buy tokens and resell them right?

#

pretty sure you cant

near ivy
#

you cant buy from AH and resell on AH

distant crystal
#

you can buy them with money and resell them with gold

near ivy
#

no

lusty grotto
#

but just to be sure

distant crystal
#

but no, not what you're thinking

lusty grotto
#

yeah

warm plinth
#

Can't play the token market :p

lusty grotto
#

dang

#

i wanted yet another place to buy low sell high

#

besides stocks and crypto

distant crystal
#

i feel like with the specific wording of the bet i gotta hold out, and pay the person that gives me the armory link

tulip panther
#

mounts 😎

near ivy
#

@alpine shard

#

can you get your guildy to equip that ring

#

so we can get an armory link

lusty grotto
#

i already do that :p

near ivy
#

since people dont want to bet in good faith

lusty grotto
#

got 2 yetis on xmas, sold them for mucho gold a few weeks ago

distant crystal
#

the bet wasn't that the cap is 395, it was a bounty on an armory link :p

near ivy
#

thats bad faith and you know it

distant crystal
#

but now that i see that it's time to start jumping in M uldir pugs to get my priest a xalzaix

near ivy
#

you are just delaying

tulip panther
#

400 Xalzaix on a shadow would be dope

distant crystal
#

i mean, it would be kinda unfair to whoever it was that posted the wowdevs saying that old content could forge beyond it's original cap

#

if i gave it to you and not them

tulip panther
#

they never said such a thing

distant crystal
#

they posted a tweet

tulip panther
#

lol when

near ivy
#

your not giving to me

distant crystal
#

saying that M crucible says 425+ because it can forge beyond next season

near ivy
#

your not giving to the guy who even found the link

#

we are all on EU

#

im not doing this for gold

#

im doing it for principle

tulip panther
#

ofc everythin can forge beyond any caps when the max cap gets risen

distant crystal
#

that was the discussion

alpine shard
#

@near ivy no

distant crystal
#

cause i've never seen any evidence of a >395 uldir piece

#

until today

lusty grotto
#

well there you have it

alpine shard
#

he knows he's wrong i cba

tulip panther
#

@distant crystal howabout the 425 conc from NORMAL DUNGEON that the lock has, does that count, its still TF

warm plinth
#

Wouldn't it be 400? I thought Mythic Uldir drops 385 base; wouldn't titanforge be 400?

near ivy
#

titanforge is 15 or more

lusty grotto
#

if you were expecting someone from discord to pay 100k, do i have to remind you that this is the internet?

warm plinth
#

Yeah I was just wondering why Waat said greater than 395

empty inlet
#

Why would you farm uldir drop they're trash

warm plinth
#

Instead of greater than 400

near ivy
#

have you heard of syringe

distant crystal
#

395 was the cap when uldir was current

warm plinth
#

Ah okay

tulip panther
#

was

distant crystal
#

syringe is amazing for all 3 warrior specs

#

but especially fury

lusty grotto
#

playing the skillforge game ugh

distant crystal
#

and tentacle of xalzaix is amazing for any caster/healer that likes crit

lusty grotto
#

🤢

empty inlet
#

At a lower ilvl it's still going to suck

#

That shit ain't no arcane crystal

distant crystal
#

no, even at a lower ilvl it beats most higher ilvl trinkets

#

to a point

tulip panther
#

@lusty grotto why play the skillforge when you can just loot a 425 trinket from 120lvl normal dungeon 😎

near ivy
#

syringe is better for fury that every other trinket even when 15 ilvls lower

#

other than lurkers

#

which is our second trinket

#

a 385 syringe = a 400 block

distant crystal
#

idk man dat first mate's spyglass

#

:p

#

probably easier to get a forged syringe than a high forged spyglass tho

near ivy
#

or slightly > 400 block

lusty grotto
#

running normal dungeons IS playing skillforge game

#

why the fuck do i wanna do it for a chance of rng, it's not fun

empty inlet
#

Imagine trying to titan forge uldir trinket and not dungeon trinket

tulip panther
#

^

near ivy
#

we do

#

a weekly run

#

for it

distant crystal
#

a 20-25 ilvl forge is far more likely than a 60 ilvl forge

near ivy
#

it takes 25 min

distant crystal
#

so less time invested

#

for the same EV

near ivy
#

and we have >15 warriors every time

lusty grotto
#

sounds stupid

near ivy
#

we have fun doing it

lusty grotto
#

but you do what you feel is fun

near ivy
#

and people have gotten upgrades doing it

lusty grotto
#

🤷

distant crystal
#

it also functions as a mog run

near ivy
#

no

#

it doesnt

#

because we only do 3 bosses

#

Taloc ---> mother ----> vectis

distant crystal
#

you're still gonna get some mogs :p

near ivy
#

it functions as a mog run for helm legs chest wrist and belt

distant crystal
#

and 2h mace :p

near ivy
#

oh come on

#

everybody has that

#

fuck me

lusty grotto
#

point it who cares

sick sentinel
#

20 mins to reach vectis and 20 mins to actually kill him :)))

near ivy
#

@sick sentinel are you seeing this shit

lusty grotto
#

its boring lmao

empty inlet
#

I wish there is old item like rogues off hand :)

near ivy
#

its not at all boring

#

its good fun

lusty grotto
#

why are we even talking about running uldir

near ivy
#

if it wasnt nobody would fucking do it

lusty grotto
#

that's subjective

near ivy
#

because a bet was made

sick sentinel
#

it's fun

near ivy
#

its boring is also subjective

sick sentinel
#

I was not reading

#

I was watching my guild wipe on opulence

lusty grotto
#

not saying it isn't

sick sentinel
#

what happened

distant crystal
#

the bet is now confirmed winnable

#

just a matter of time

near ivy
#

then why say that my statement is

tulip panther
#

distant crystal
#

i feel like i should get a custom rank on the discord "low iq bet payor" or something

sick sentinel
#

you guys are too negative

last mason
#

I have a 390 but it’s meh

distant crystal
#

when i pay it

near ivy
#

@distant crystal if we are playing the "it only counts if i see it on armory game" we now know that we win the bet eventually

distant crystal
#

yes

near ivy
#

since we have proof it can happen

#

brb pinning message in syringe discord

distant crystal
#

if we play any other game it's unfair that i pay you and not the guy who linked the wowdevs, sorta

near ivy
#

we are EU

#

you are NA

#

we just want to give the gold to our NA friends

sick sentinel

I wanna post the link but it's my own vid and I don't wanna get hit by the #promotion

Syringe is good

sick sentinel

and less defensives right?

#

so why not just use prot ☮

oblique garnet
#

I didnt bother with it since i thought it couldnt titanforge higher

#

Might have to actually join the uldir runs

sick sentinel

@oblique garnet are you eu horde?

No.

you need to P A D

strong forum

ye.

orange is enough for now

without padding like mad during p2

distant crystal

if you kill the adds in the up phase

#

do they disappear when down phase ends or

do they come back up so you can kill em again

strong forum

i think theyll come back up in p3 no?

distant crystal
#

that's the pad play then eh

strong forum
#

or you have to min max like crazy and dont kill em

only get em low

or idk

just kill em twice / thrice i guess

any combination of butcher block, rezan and alch

Atleast I think 🤔

warm plinth
#

I'm curious how those leggings sim. I imagine that it's with the maximum proc rate since you don't take real damage in sims.

stone cloud
#

I wear them on my Prot pally in mythic and they do like 600-1000DPS

#

Which is quite a bit

#

I’d imagine they do more in war

#

Since 100% block ect ect

sick sentinel
#

those legs

#

are only for pure ST
