@near ivy look at this dude
me and star watched the anime a week ago, I had sakuta as my profile picture lmao @sick sentinel
๐
Good anime tho
Final tho
speaking of the final episode
it wasnt exactly a good episode if it was the first episode you watched
WASNT IT NOT
@sick sentinel
HMMMMMMMMMMMM
FUCK YOU
FUCK YOU
I'M SORRY
fucking weebs
<3 @sick sentinel
๐ช ๐
@lusty grotto ๐
pretty sure its the first thing ive watched since i finished shippuden
its anime, its not better than real life
or DB Super
real life graphics are shit
i just came to a serious realization
Every time someone says FUCK YOU in caps, it makes me think of that Fuck You Tony video
And I laugh
Idol of indiscriminate consumption at 410 or butchers block at 400?
@sick sentinel i was gonna message you
What's in the other slot?
for m+ and raid
this wholesome reply to @blizzardcs's "we're working on it" tweet
@lusty grotto whats ur imdb score?
because i finished the show
410 rezan in the other slot
and need more recommendations
idk how ur gunna give opinions on that when ur not even ranked on rotten tomatoes, tbh
dude I don't watch anime idk
pepehands
you dont happen to be living in Turkey right?
watch UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH hestia
Probably block in raids since Idol I would imagine is kinda bleh there? In M+ block if you don't need the heal from idol @agile spruce
because if so, you can watch all the anime you want buddy
Currently got a 410 rezan and need to pick between Idol of indiscriminate consumption at 410 or butchers block at 400?
star pm me
ah ty
@agile spruce id say butchers
Made sure to ping you since AHEM some people are off topic and ignoring legit questions
Shame on you guys
idol is good but im lazy and its acrive requires a bunch of positioning
nelf or velf prot warr?
ahem ghash i cant reply to serious q's man, give me a break
horde SMOrc
some kinda dorf ldo
tacos or burritos guys
Either nelf or one of the dwarves
Burritos
Or Kul Tiran if you want master race
๐ฎ
as a 1900+ yelper; burritos
๐ฏ
Soft-shell tacos or burritos; basically the same thing
the only true answer is ๐ฎ
WOW
sorry guys
we have an idiot here folks
Wait, Bull are you the types of food person
Is a taco a pocket?
How much sugar do you guys add to ur tea if u drinkin?
i'll have you know i'm rated 50% in the latino scale, so im more qualified to establish the correct answer
lol, fml. Idk what's happening in this channel anymore
tacos are sub
That depends, are you making the tea properly Leinyan, or are you adding the sugar to your glass like a peasant
its friday and Sal isnt on
Well i add 4 spoons of sugar to my tea
im ashamed to say, i dislike tea
I can't talk to you
unsurprising
i dont know why im ashamed to say it
You're ruining tea
but i am
4 spoons of sugar wtf
But spoons are lil
do you pour it on pancakes after?
You don't add sugar to your glass of tea
It can be 2 spoons if they are normal size
Ur literally making tea flavored simple syrup dude
You brew the tea and add the sugar before it cools so it properly dissolves
@lusty grotto do you remember our first conversation?
I have sugar lol
I don't drink sweet tea tbh
i may have been drugged bull
WE were talking about PHo recipes
I drink a green tea mix by crystal light. Raspberry Green Tea. I'm a traitor.
There's some pill you can take now called Cheers
nothing fucking comes close
I drink original blacksea tea
yeah those pills don't work
Supposed to prevent hangovers
I take my hang overs on the chin like a man
not drinkingsso goddamn much
Yep. Drink 1 glass of water for each drink you consume
if you actually get hangover just drink milk
that shit doesn't work
I've never had a hangover tbh.
"oof ow ouch my body is poisoned, cow come here let me lick thine teet"
-late, 2018
also
Or coffee
coffee doesnt prevent hangovers
or dont be a little bitch
it sobers you up like cocaine
I have however, spent the night in the bathtub dry heaving because I drank 15 shots of tequila in 15 minutes on an empty stomach when I was 17 (was my mom a bad parent? Also now that I think about it, I probably should have gone to the hospital). That's why I don't drink though. I can't really stomach it anymore since that day.
HEll yeah Kel
Yeah, I probably could have died actually.
depends did your mom give you 15 shots
I mean, it was a NYE party that she threw and she let me drink
ok confirmed bad parent
Dude's an actual Viking though
She was playing the card game with me that made me take that many shots lol
i barely remember going to a party, first thing i did was chug a fifth of fireball whiskey
i had to be restrained and later passed out
like giving you a shot, or some champagne or something, is cool mom status
guys hang on
im saying it from experience
O
I'm going to #protection us from this conversation
No one wants a check out my booze-ability penis contest
pfft
See that's my other reason for not drinking Keladan. I drink a lot of anything (including non-alcoholic things). Last time I went out and drank (which does happen once in a blue moon), I ended up doing a chug off with an alcoholic friend of mine. Except we were chugging full pitchers.
here's the best way to drink
- dont get shitfaced
- have self control
- dont drink and drive
- enjoy your alcohol
nowadays yeah i dont do that shit any more
i'll have 4 or 5 gin and tonics and be good
- (psst try some coffee or cocaine)
- drink some water before bead
The upside is that I usually pass out after like 4 beers because I have no tolerance so I sometimes avoid the rest of the drinking
And yeah you're actually a piece of shit if you drink and drive. #sorrynotsorry
i agree
That would be so cheap ghash
XD
๐ bull
I had to sleep in my car once. I'm 6'3 and it was a 350z
vomiting in an uber is expensive
@warm plinth lmao
they can push a button an ding you like $50 extra
I found out later I could still have been charged with a DUI, because apparently if the keys are in the car with you and you're drunk, they can still nail you
shit good thing i havent done it yet
there's literally a thing in the app to report that the ride puked in your car lol
6'3?
@warm plinth depends on your state, but yeah thats typically the rule
how much meters
i thnk its around 185?
its a good rule
190.5 centimeters
Pog im taller then u
185 meters is like godzilla status
fuck drunk drivers
am i an ant
So 190.5 is like 1.905 right?
ye
1.96m crew
cuz metric makes sense
๐
looking down on all of you
You wish waat
Yeah I was just saying that to paint the picture. It's a very small car and I'm a big person
Ur age @distant crystal
old af
No wait, didn't you guys hear about the tyrannical metric system?
Fuck people who canโt control themselves around alcohol
I just graduated college and was a swimmer so I was around a lot of tha
That
We continue to investigate reports of ongoing connection issues. No ETA. Thank you for your patience!
I'm fucking 173 what is this

173 lul
I mean, you're also underage aren't you? lol
o_o
also my mate on other class
come school fest drunk
after drinking 4 cans of beer
wasting money on shitty places?
I love turkey, I have it every thanksgiving
dadjokes
my neighboor hunts turkey tho
we eat it once
I prefer chicken tho
whats ur favourite fast food place?
in-n-out
In n out is overrated
Fries get cold in 30s, thin ass burgers
No in n out in turkey
What a burger
5 guys
5 guys
Next shit question plz
well i prefer popoyes and burgerking tho
Literally would rather have a McDonaldโs burger than in n out
Imagine having to up the quality of a resteraunt so in n out can maintain its niche of slightly better than the public perception of mc donalds
5guys โค
groce
oooo we got turks here
5guys is fast food
CVS has a drive through
Oh yeah melva can probably translate the icy-veins guide for you
it's not fast food
that doesnt make it fast food
totally worth it
5 Guys isn't worth what it costs
ti 100% is you lying bitch
Have y'all ever had a five guys hot dog?
truefax
They are pretty good
It's good, but it's not worth the price
lalalala i dont care, 5 guys ftw
ALSO its name is dope for rap
@distant crystal seriously tho, their thin ass burgers taste exactly the same, or worse, than McDonaldโs
We actually have an airport shuttle service here called 5 guys. It's really weird to see them out and about lol
Said he want beef, pull up, Five Guys, uh-huh
also you cant say I love 5 guys without it being a freudian slip
you can't just slice some taters and fry them
I can
Tbh I went to Dallas and tried both Whataburger and In-N-Out (both have like cult followings) and neither of them lived up to the hype - not even close
burgerking fries are good tho
You can't compare your fast food to ours Leinyan
#protection Everybody
smoked brisket
It's not even the same
lol
@sick sentinel your Turkish brother @sick sentinel needs a good turkish prot warrior guide
So I created this new prot build called the BBQ spec
I like it, even though I'm not normally into that stuff
jkjk
@distant crystal watch me when i stream i can help you then
no sellout tho
@sick sentinel
wrong tag sorry waat
U turkish ?
Melva you should be a real hero and translate the prot guide into Turkish
๐
I'd translate it to something, but I'm American and we don't speak multiple languages
Well i knew english turkish and learning japanese
Wow, advocating the theft of Marok's and Archi's intellectual property in their own Discord. Ruuuuude
๐
it's transformative
fair use imo
@sick sentinel your english is pretty damn solid tbh
Still learning
@sick sentinel at least you guys got that wacky coffee
God damnit.. Half work day today and I cant log in to test my new comp on wow >.>
Itโs good tho
Too hard for me
Like freebasing coffee beans
You know im happy now didnt see any racists tho
Depends on the region IIRC, not everyone boils it over like that
I play an undead DK
Yโall some racists
Classists*
does anyone hava a decent "externals on me" WA? cant find anything useable on wago
guessing you've checked that one tho?
@sweet summit if you dont get suitable answers might i suggest #ui-addons-manager
The EXRT raid cooldown module is pretty good for it as well, but i don't think it shows who they've been placed on (at least, I don't have it setup to show).
oh man, the new affix is absolutly aids in all dungeons
did you check it out on ptr?
thanks @distant crystal, ill check it out
was thinking about doing a couple ptr keys this weekend to try it
its .-.
Can't just nuke em I'm guessing?
Kings rest is like - you skip this? NOT ANYMORE
It looked p aids
ML looks bad but tbh i expected worse
I imagine you just like
Death skip them
like the affix may as well read "you can brez in fights, cause u need them for all the excess skips u have to do now"
inb4 rshaman + blaance druid meta
As far as it says, only the void one has true sight so you should still be able to skip the other 2
I have a hunch it'll go the other way

I thought it looked pretty interesting in the article write up. Looking forward to trying it
rogues are going to be still a go to for the shadow one since you can put 2 on the mob and not have to LoS
but I bet you'll see more efficient strats on arcane
No u just have shrouds to skip all the ones without shrouds
like having an arms/dh taunt and tank it off on the side
then you have ahnk + brez for the ones that u death skip
I wonder why they decided to do this
different mobs change out the layout more dynamically
since it's now a matrix of variation
I feel like if you can take one hit of the shadow damage, you could just burn the mob without having to LoS
When more than 99% of M+ people hate pull control
Assuming the rest of the pack isn't super dangerous already
THey're on record saying they wanted s3 to be st focused, and that they wanted common skips to not always be skipped
they wanted to fuck over "The Strat"
so they made massive strategic variance from week to week
IF it sucks ima be real sad about unsubbing tbh
i like a lot of the other 8.2 changes
but im not raiding anymore cause raiding is for nerds
i imagine some weeks it's gonna be "Need X class" because there's a type of handmaiden on Y pack and there's an established strat to deal with it
instead of the last two seasons which is
"need X comp...for everything every week"
think shammies in reaping but changes week to week
Watching flawless try to do those keys is painful
I dont think their comp is the best
And they dont know how to handle the emissaries at all
Guys, I am tanking blockades first time. Can i go anywhere (out of melee range) and askf or dispel?
I'm sure there's going to be "strats" for the various em's
on the big guy u should be goingt o the add that spawned and dispelling there @oblique lantern
your cotank should have taunted off u before u leave melee
Hm, someone says I don't need to go to the add?
My other tank is only soakign they say
@oblique garnet have you seen the shadow/arcane ones be CC'd yet?
๐คท that sounds like some shit
i'm assuming they cant
Only one you can cc is the tides one
Yes
Do they all see stealth or just the void one that says it does?
well there goes my Mind Control the Arcane One to Get The Aura Strat...
The enchanted one is joke to deal with all you would have to do is spam heroic throw on it or put a pet to it
Not sure about mc on it
how far is the knockback? does it aggro other mobs?
Knockback is shorter than spotters in siege so you need to constantly hit it with something
ahh so its more of a minor shove, eh
Yes
gotcha gotcha
I kind of envisioned it like Dippy in the Brawler's guild
hunter/lock pets sound ideal for that
What you could do is with boomkin after its separated put treants on it and it will disappear after they are gone
Random Thought: If the Arcane one provides a damage reflect aura, reflecting the damage from the source back at them....if you Spell Reflected an ability at a target in that aura....I mean the game currently treats the damage as not sourced from you....
would they gib themselves with 200% of their own cast?
๐ค
Trees only last 10 seconds though; doesn't the enchanted add last for 30 seconds?
Yes but as soon as you engage it in combat it takes 10~ seconds to separate it from the group
Treants will keep knocking it back
So its away
And it will be far enough for it to disappear before it comes back
I feel like using a pet to do it is a sketchy thing depending where it is. Because either the mob or the pet is going to aggro other shit since pet AI could make it go in a weird ass direction or inconsistent directions.
Only one right now that is hard to deal with is the void one that does 50% of your health etc
LoS fest it would seem
Plus if you PUG, good luck having a person smart enough to control their pet properly. e.g. a BM hunter might put their pet on it and then use kill command while targeting something else, which means pet goes back on the pack.
too many pets die to Lightning Shield for me to believe that will ever happen in a PUG
Do we have any haste breakpoints or after x amount it looses its value over other stats?
Speaking just for m+ btw ๐
same applies
Sweet
for more context:
you'll prob hear talk of haste BPs in relation to SB cooldown reduction, which is "true" in a very narrow sense
the reality is that the stat itself provides more than just that reduction, so much so that the "value" isn't diminished to the point where haste gets knocked down a peg.
that being said, ilvl > secondary stats in a vast majority of cases
and secondaries are only really considered when ilvl is considered equal.
Do y'all put abilities on mouse buttons if I only had two mouse buttons, or would they better to cycle through targets?
tfw you have all of your abilities on mouse buttons ๐
i have a good mouse that doesn't look like a brick so I can't do that ๐
mmhmm
Like I was thinking of just putting pummel on a mouse button and that's it
well I can't imagine not playing with discrete hands for movement and actions but assuming that is what you do...hmm
i'd do reactionary stuff like pummel or off gcd stuff if you're only going to have 2 buttons.
Yeah - I may just put pummel there.. Easy access I suppose
I have 14 mouse buttons; I only use the two thumb ones. One for auto-run and one for aoe on whatever class I'm currently playing (except Prot Warr which is #4)
Oh nvm .. middle mouse button down in stuns and pressed to the left is my mount / travel form ๐
@lusty grotto Was that guy in your twitch chat mad because you had a spanish tag on your stream but you were speaking english? lol
@sand egret so you gonna go back to Larian and help with Baldurs Gate 3?
Hey guys I hope it's ok if I ask but I just got my warrior tip 120 and it's IL to 320 so far but I seem to be having a very hard time keeping aggro of things and when I lose it it's VERY hard to get back IF I even get it back can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong or if it just happens or it'll get better
@chilly brook nope! (although I worked for a studio that was an outsource for them, anywho haha)
@west nacelle your biggest tool to get aggro is going to be your Avatar phase of combat. That being said, loss of aggro is generally due to a) lack of damage on your end b) lack of applying enough damage to the right targets or c) dramatic gear disparity. The last one, is something you'll need to deal with externally (calling for them to give you time to build aggro, or calling for Tricks/Misdirections from Rogues/Hunters)
@warm plinth nah i know him irl
Oh I was just wondering. I could sort of grasp what was being said but not really because I'm too dumb to speak spanish
just saying that i should remove the spanish tag
cause i wasn't streaming in spanish
So far the best part of the stream was you saying your ass or something of that nature to someone in guild chat
@sand egret so being only 320 could it just simply be keep working aayyyy it and things will get better the higher gear I get right now I'm at haste 33% mast 19% vers 8%
kind of like "your face"
but with an ass
Stat %s don't matter. But that can't possibly be your haste without ITF at 320 lol
being only 320 may be the problem...right now you are fed gear that is easily 30+ ilvls via normal content etc.
so there's a very high chance the dps you're losing aggro too are 370 or some shit
which then it's just a matter of numbers
warfronts, WQs, etc. will give you dramatic boosts. Ideally, you get a stronger weapon, which is where a majority of your damage will be derived from
i might play wow, i downloaded it ๐ก
grats?
i know it doesnt matter what im about to say cat
So it's just a matter of get keep at it and it'll get better essentiallywhen I get the gear? When looking at gear to get how do I know what's better or what not cause I hear sim dosnt really work on tanks
but maybe wait until 8.2?
but yeah honestly id wait for 8.2 too
that ain't going away, unless she wants to experience like reaping
๐
or BoD raids, but that's like old news anyway for many
ill wait
generally better to hop on the hype train when everyone else is ๐
we need a new emoji for #268491842637660160 -> icy veins guide
but Tj, the gear will help regardless
since its not in the pins
but pleas read the guide in the link above
So when do I start comparing oh that's better stats and what do I look for or does it not matter
I'd like to stop you right there and redirect you to https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/protection-warrior-pve-tank-guide
Yikes, that's a rough pack to have that particular emissary in lol
this should answer a large number of your initial questions, esp when it comes to gearing, @west nacelle
oof that's the "can't be interrupted pack..." them Earthshapers!
Yeahhh
that pack + a shadow mofo...
well then
Nah the example they gave in the wowhead article sounds scary af
gl LoSing that / focusing it when Dipshit McGinnis casts Cover
The pack with the augur/channeler/juggernaut with the tides emissary lol
In Atal
Though at least you can skip that one since it's not a mandatory pull. Could fuck a route plan though
but that one you can just bomb her down and pray firey enchant doesnt go off
Yeah
Dipshit McGinnis casts Cover....
GL with that
i like that the comments are all people talking about how easy the affix is
can't wait for s3 :^)
WTF TANK MOB JUST 1 SHOT ME???
WTF TANK CC THIS MOB????
It'll be interesting, esp people who don't bother to figure out the Arcane one
after nimchy mythic champs
damn, rich blood
@lusty grotto 
@lusty grotto you should have asked @sick sentinel for that ivus blessing he always gets lucky with that
Lots of ppl yelling pally meta for new affix.
Ive not seen a good reason, have you guys any idea?
surely its far too early to know.
@still aurora paladin wont be that good compared to warrior who can deal with majority of the new adds much better
new rotation for that one emmisary: avatar, tclap mobs, heroic throw emmisary. tclap mobs, heroic throw emmisary. ez
Pretty much
Do you get a second before the aura comes up if you charge in?
Or is it active out of combat
is having meticulous scheming and overwhelming power good?
sure
its that or brace for impact
You doing M+?
yes
I can see it
@warm plinth the aura is active before you engage it in combat so you have to be bit creative with the mob
If you charge into it and clap with avatar you will probably die
good thing heroic throw does no dmg
You'd use it on the mob, which doesn't reflect
yes it does
All nearby allies in the radius of the arcane bubble will be affected by Queen's Decree: Blowback which reflects 200% of damage dealt back at the target.
The mob that does the aura doesn't
The radius is big you need atleast 3-4 before its far enough
Which is who you'd be heroic throwing
You cant charge into that pack
Not sure if you could mc the add
And get the aura to yourself
I was commenting on Steve saying heroic throw doesn't do damage
Yeah will be interesting to see how the affix turns out
Wondering if i should swap this out for Grong shoulders?
lose a BoM, gain a second DC or IF.
Raid
aight, ty
anyone know how much dodge winds of war actually gives?
Not enough to be worth on prot
You @ the role
yeah it doesn't show up
it's a permission to set it up be pingable
Yea so you gotta go into the settings of the server and more specifically the roles
Each role will have an โallow pingโ option
all or nothing, basically most of discord permissions
yeah
oh
yo @shut summit whats this WA?
just bored so watching some of your vids
i like it
can probably remove a lot of shitty ones
lmao
i mean replace them with yours
ah
i mean it tracks other stuff
not just the reaping stacks
it had KR bleeds, the last boss whirlwinds etc
the council backhand debuff
The dungeon weakaura package is awesome to. Has like everything you need
Takes awhile to set the auras up where you want em but
its just dungeons right? no necrotic?
Yeah doesnโt include affixes
But thereโs a branch off he made for them to
For the affixes
My 383 ilvl alt, revered with champions of azeroth & every bfa faction, has a level 43 neck but the ilvl of the neck is only 407. It seems I might have forgotten to get magni to "infuse" higher ilvls into the necklace, but I just visited magni and he offers nothing.
My mains level 50 neck is 433 .... so the necks are 7 azerite levels apart and 26 ilvls. I think I'm missing something. Any ideas, please?
Does the quest "A Brother's Help" where you travel to Nazmir and meet magni outside uldir increase the ilvl of the neck?
is it multiple steps? or just a simple meet and greet. I forget. I have 5 alts with similar problems
no its like 5 quests
and trudging thru storyline 6 or 7 times just to upgrade the ilvl of my neck would stink
how much should i put in haste? %?
oh run from opulence and stuff?
uldir
pretty much
@wind wadi haste % doesn't matter, just equip your highest ilvl. On similar ilvl you can go for haste
there are no caps
nor a bare minimum
oh,so i jsut go for ilvl instead of stats?
just about, yes
Yo any tank 2K + r.IO .... want to do an 18 SoB LMK .2 .2K + group just waitin on tank
Oh shit .. alliance btw
we PoE-players now ๐
yuck
i feel it bro aint even mad
ikr, "alliance" yikes
no yuck PoE
oof ๐
actually true
i just don't really like diablo style games
oh, thats unfortunada
d3 Lamo
really not my thing
only did them cause friends were playing
same as PoE for a bit
i might, but i really don't wanna play it
best time to start when the season just started
rather apex or whatever :p
pubg
never played fornite actually
doesn't appeal to me the whole building shit thing
plus third person is eww
first person shooters though โค
understandable. im too old and slow for fps-games
the pve fortnite wasnt bad but i cant get into BR's
legit fortnite was fun and enjoyable before all this BR stuff
i doubt anyone remembers it started that way
@upper spoke just making sure i got you the right info, its 2 quests in
LEVELING UP CHARACTERS AND AI's
ya it was only supposed to be a zombie defense game but they saw an opportunity and snatched it after seeing how there was a wave of fandom for BR's, which was an ingenius idea from them to capitolize on honestly
i got some friends doing dauntless, i might play it a bit... i had early access
monster hunter type games are fun
i hunt monsters irl tho
I wonder if certain level of reputation with champions is required to activate that quest. Looking at another alt, his neck is 45 w/ ilvl of 423
its pretty much unlocked for all alts
50 neck would bump the ilvl to 428, still 5 points short of my mains
its 2ilvl per level
great info. thanks.
thanks nimchips as well. saved me a ton of time
sup?
this is my rogue
only friendly
and i did the quest on her
you probably need a main with the rep
and then you can access it on all others
(im exalted on main, revered on 2 others)
Thanks for the help. It's way more than I could have figured out myself
someone being actually helpful yike..nvm we arent in The Fel Hammer rofl
idk why i thought it was longer
remember it differently for some reason heh
thanks for reminding me to do it on my pally and mage though lmao
totally forgot about it on those chars
(scratch that, 3 quests)
counting the one that sends you to nazmir
Bis Prot trinkets for high m+ keys? Thoughts?
there are plenty of choices
"best in slot" hasn't been a thing since WF was put in... which was a few expansions ago
sup boyz
is there such a thing as character profiles for weak auras?
Im seeing the same auras loading for my mistweaver monk on sargeras as I am my warrior on lightbringer ๐ฎ
load settings, character/class/spec specifics
I
Was
Pinged
Oh about the knot I got
I don't like it
Cd is too long
Doesn't line up with avatar
we already discussed this
you need to drop all your haste for more crit
so avatar comes up less often
ez
strictly for mythic plus at what point to you balance defense/offense.
im talking 15-20 M+ should i be balls to the wall dps or should i roll some defense too?
Thatโs dependant on your self play and your group
20 is doable full dps under the right factors and circumstances
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/dt2YF47a3ZKx9LqD#fight=15&type=damage-taken&source=8&view=events at 1:24 until about 1:27 I deflect 3 iceshards, what is causing me to deflect? I still get the ice shard stack. is this just a high amount of crit blocking or something ?
Icrshards is physical not magical deflect wonโt prevent stacks
Iceshards
Nor reduce your dmg from ice shard
Yes, I'm still gaining the stack but taking no dmg from the iceshard
deflects are parries
Ty
^ sorry misunderstood
@quiet crane im 408 ilvl i feel like im pretty good at keeping my buffs up and mainting stuff but i will say majority of these are pugs.
so im not 100% confident in ym group all the time.. but i guess what im asking is if i go more defense will i limit myself/my group from pushing 18/19/20 keys?
Well that's the thing @fresh vigil ... if it's YOUR GROUP ... the synergy will depend on that BUT in a pug that high ... mmm 50/50 ... usually pugs that high at least have SOME TYPE of frontal lobe and do their part.
lol
does anyone use AskrRobot?
and their toughness* guide/setting
i put it to +15 and it has be using 2BOM 1 Blood rite 2 B4I and 1 BS
no deafening crash...? seems stupid to me.
You cannot sim defensively
Regardless, there are no current solutions
Amr is not worth using if it was the last option
i was saying more to azerite traits defensive/offensive how do you build your prot warrior specifically for M+
sup boys, havent tanked since before christmas when prot was still shit
have stat priorities changed since then?
They have not
๐
Minus IP on the GCD it plays the same
hmm my crit seems pretty ass @ around 500
every other stat sitting around 1000
ish
:pepeheppy:
Vers and mastery arenโt really โbadโ by any means
yeah the general consensus back then was that the stats were fairly competitive with each other iirc
just feelsbad being 380 ilvl
oof
Im kinda wondering if I shouldnt just wait for Nazjatar or whatever
and gear up again argus style
isnt 8.2 supposedly this month?
if I do decide to do some M+ at least people will want me now ๐
no date confirmed
there is no release date for 8.2
I can remember trying to find groups as a prot tank in 8.0... feelsbadman
No announcement yet, and even once the patch releases you got 2 weeks of off season
warrior is meta now for M+ right?
pretty much
6-7 more weeks isnโt totally unreasonable
I wouldnโt expect to like, get 415, start raiding, etc
But I wouldnโt wait if it was me ๐
Itโll also make gearing easier in s3
@neat harbor in 8.0 as a prot war I was just making my own groups
In 8.0 I was a null char
Who doesnโt miss getting denied with โlol protโ
yeah, they were some dark days
actually more salty than dark for me
I knew wed be buffed
I think just witnessing all the poor decisions from blizz was the most frustrating
any of you guys have a good vid link that rates the tanks in the current meta? Or if not, your own thoughts on the rankings
and also is 8.2 gonna make any relevant changes in that regard
i doubt the overall meta would change that much, not enough to rock the boat imo
Hi guys, i am wondering... I play prot war i am now about 404 ilvl. Thing is i do not use pots much and i sit with overall dmg like 13-15k. I feel like its not enought for prot war
also shouldn't really base your opinion on those types of rankings like the ones from sco, baseless opinions only just to get the pot stirring
As a 406, I do 22k average in dungeons and that's without 3 bombers @sick sentinel
Bom*
So is it about pulling big?
It's a factor
@undone sun yeah I take all those judgements with a grain of salt really, its just nice to have some perspective. Great to hear that warrs are still gonna be strong next patch tho
Only pull big if you got balls the size of plates ๐
And a group coordinated enough to help you along with it that is lol
In boss fights i am like 8k
@strong forum that list looks pretty good to me ๐
In aoe pulls i am usuely top dmg
You use pots all the time?
I only pot bosses
I feel like timing is my problem.using avatar correctly
I always forget to pot
Maybe some big pulls
Like 3-4 runs I use 20 pots
I hope price drop more for pots
Do you use avatar on CD?
also less relevantly to prot, the new DX11 changes are quite nice. getting about 20% ish more efficient frames/CPU usage than before
Yes @sick sentinel
and I heard 8.2 was building on the CPU improvements, good stuff
Or wait for grp of... Min 3 mobs?
But if the grp is only 2 mobs?
You almost never do single groups or adds unless it's atal /kr/tos
Even in AD? Hmm
How do you Def. This pulls
Not supposed to stand there and take it. Kite my friend.
How do you use Def. cds o. This pulls
And you always wanna chain reaping into another pack
I only use my SB until it runs out then LS
SW if I know it's a lot of dmg
Did it yesterday, kited it, healer just didnt heal
@stoic night a warrior doesn't kite
So first shield, after shield Last stand
if u say so
And ignore Pain?
Ignore pain as often as your rage pool allows it
well
I mean overcap on IP
capping IP isn't that bad, it's better than capping rage
SB and LS don't stack
Witb SW you can
SW is to be used when you see it fit
Just hold onto SW and use it to fill gaps tbh
Either to fill block windows or when you are doing a huge pull
do you guys run any of the defensive azerite traits? (mythic + )
Well i use it only when i see my self on 10%
lul
That isn't gonna help
OMEGALUL
Bruh it's a 40% damage reduction you use it before intake not after
Before big pull?
So avoid some dngrs ability
F black mamba tho
No you should learn when the big damage intake is
^
And use it before it
Thats good poont
Point
Or
You can sb sb sb ls sb sb sb SW sb sb
Its all dmg? Works on magic?
If you want to play Prot Warrior you need to be proactive, learn damage intakes and use information to your advantage to mitigate the damage before it happens
So to cover gaps
Yes SW is a flat 40% reduction
22 deaths lul
startin to look like a guild run
Youtube, tanknotes.tk, wowhead, numerous other resources
Probably
But that's the nature of playing a proactive tank as opposed to a reactive tank, you're introducing a whole new aspect of the game that you didn't have to think about before
And like Kaege said you won't get better unless you practice and play it
And more importantly practice correctly
I didn't even realize the MDI is still going lul
who ๐
pants that proc damage
@sick sentinel
Yes
I love cos loot
