just some random green is like "UPGRADE" and there's some person that's gonna be like "mah addon told me to!"
lmao well that's basically what pawn is at this point
those are the same people who drive into lakes because their GPS said so.
#MichaelScott
but actually.
here's real prot discord question
what do when 2 twin babies won't stop crying, taking any and all advice at this time cause I fucking give up
You could add a "Sco's top ranked" option as well
babies is loose term, they're 18 months
@brisk ferry thunderclap?
I mean, maybe they're just using Deafening Crash
I'm trying to thunderclap, but they won't let me
my parents always used Initimidating Shout.
lol
I use that on my oldest, these 2 dgaf lol
i dunno then
good effort, appreciate the input
pop your Last Stand then just pray and Ignore Pain until they're 18
Hello guys can someone help me change marok's ignore pain wa, i want to show it only when ip up
How about Rallying Cry? Might help you survive through it at least.
i think there's a pretty contentious battle between the "let them cry it out" camp and "pick them up and soothe them any time they cry" camp
Temir, might be better off posting in #ui-addons-manager
oh I was always let em cry camp with oldest, but twins share a room, so 1 crying = 2 crying
the viral properties of crying is fascinating
I hear egg cartons make for good soundproofing, fwiw @brisk ferry
ask the partner for a tank-swap?

lol
"yeah I got too many stacks of Crying..."
she wont let me put their cribs in the 2 seperate walk-in closets
lol
after 18 months, I want to try anything to get some sleep tbh
Are they identical?
nah fraternal
Not relevant; just curious
I can count the number of nights I got ~8 hours of sleep on 1 hand
may I also suggest....ear plugs 😃
yes
yeah sucks for sure, I just keep hoping it'll get better but approaching limit
Too bad Arcane Torrent doesn't silence anymore; you could race change
it gets better on the sleep front
always been BE warr so not even required race change lol
Oh okay lol
we were spoiled at 4 months my oldest was sleeping 12 hour nights
got that bonus proc when crafting
yeh accident squared lool
lmfao
LOL
"did you rank up Kids to level 3..."
"Why....?"
"well...."
lol
evidently I must've lol
you'll never guess that I booked my vasectomy the same week that we found out it was twins lol
Oh my god
or as I like to think of it, your sperm prob just crit hard
shouldn't have popped Avatar
smh
yup
F
I was always in the boat of fuck that I will nevre have kids too, life's weird man
when it rains it pours
grats!
ah, at least ya lucked out there
first one isn't too bad, you (hopefully) have a partner to take turns
hahahaha
you might surprise yourself, when it comes to their safety you'll be stern for sure
oh yea, I don't doubt it
idgaf what they're up to but if they're climbing up the fucking stairwell railing to jump off, then the prot warr comes out lol
and yes, my wife would be the TClapper of the two of us
5'1" and nearly 100% uptime on avatar that little lady
intimidating shout
hahaha
she's a vision of perfection!
Heroic Leap is what caused the situation in the first place
i'd agree with ya
well them little Fury warriors are nuts!
lol
always screaming and shit
I'm not sure I want kids yet. Probably should figure that out soon though lol. I like kids but it's a lot of responsibility.
you'll notice your IP has a much higher cap
I'm still unsure if I want kids lol
not sure that the GMs will allow that roll-back
something something soulbound
Haha
Already told my wife I'm teaching our kids to play video games whenever their chosen sport isnt in season
I think a lot of kids are more into video games now then even when we were kids, so should be pretty easy
though I'd rather my kids study then ignore finals for Lich King progress
"Hon if you don't interrupt that next heal you're grounded"
yeah, a lot due to them just being exposed to stuff so early
college finals* I should say
lol
like i'm seeing tiny kids playing on tablets and shit
yeah true, technology at early ages
I went off to college in BC and didnt play again until end of WoD
so half of these interfaces are just second nature
mine's been taking selfies since she was like 2
on my phone
which has a fucking passcode
yeeep
keep an eye on that one...
that's a siphon your vodka and replace it with water kinda kid if I've heard of one
I think most of the time I only have 1 eye open, but I will try lol
well she's mine, so it'll prolly be rum
but yes she's almost 3 and I arlready get those vibes
rang 3 VoP minor is really only42 versatility or is that a tooltip error?
Not an error, they ran out of ideas so they just slap versatility on something
cuz it's such a fun stat
love how shit the azerite system is want to tank a +10 for my friends but dont want to spend like a 100k reforging all my traits
you...dont...need to?
you could literally do it traitless.
thinking you're fury
hey mighty warriors, I'm tanking mythic ashvane as prot, anyone have any good resources for specific tips for that
do you reforge on a fight to fight basis?
from fury to fury?
if you do M+ 2 or 3 days a week after raids, the cost won't ever get to that
tanknotes.tk or the reflectable/blockable guide in #268491842637660160 @mighty quartz
cost aside, you can tank it totally fine in fury traits.
I reforge a lot from fury to arms for pvp and such but its dumb af that you will be gimped in traits
Get a set for arms pvp problem solved
and then a pve one for fury/prot
ya that's what i have
except for fury cause i dont play fury 😂
if you want to tank a 10 for friends, I don't see the problem in being sub-optimal and saving 100k....
or yeah blade is right
not like you're going to get insta-gibbed without them.
Yeah at this point you should be just fine without prot traits in a 10 specially this week
never lucky with shields 😦 only have 400 ilvl
rip
Reaching 100k on reforges tho, that's kinda crazy
and tell them to go shield spec
and paladin friends 😃
prot includes 2 classes
(say no to ret though)
resto/elem shammy, holy/prot paladin 👍
i hear nimchipadin is a cute belf that wants friends
a cute hpal belf
but is toxic af
your face is toxic
🗞 🐻
Stewart would be disappointed
oh shit that reminds me
i did a normal EP last week for reliquaries
and the other crafting shit
there was another prot warrior
UNDEAD prot warrior
he had stewart's twin
ooo now that's an OG
he also had a mariachi xmog
so i think stewart's twin is called Pedro
together they defeated the mighty sivara and 2 or 3 more bosses before they had to go their separate ways
fish killing fish
i keep seeing your groups pop up...i may just ninja myself into it one of these days haha
👀
hmm
hehe
fights are ez anyway
ashvane does make me fucking mad as fuck though because people dont understand how to raid size and remove bad dps
if this is NA and y'all need a prot warr 
:usa:
:Canada:
hi hat
excuse me, that's mexico
EU too large, idk
'Rican
Af or Am?
is there a % of haste that if I hit it I should no longer focus on getting more?
thanks
I'm running into a wall of content currently, warrior is chasing titanforges, but gearing any tank alt means neck bullshit
blood rite or bloodsport? When your azerite be trolling
blood rite is fine
how difficult is tanking a +10 Kings Rest this weeks affixes?
teeming KR is just slow
rip 3x bastion 😦
Teeming only affects the last bridge on kr
no
not that I've heard
the last 2 week i notice my agro on my warrior is soo poor that my melee ppl get mauled to death lol
during a mythic + and no matter what i do i seem to lose aggro
clap harder
esp seeem to killing any melee
with the number of minor/major essence slots
I've had zero issue with holding aggro on either prot or bdk
im 417 doing a +9 in shrine
aye that'll certainly not help
i see lol
i mean i feel terrible lol hahaaha
i ruined someone key because i couldnt get any aggro on that on second boss in shrine on a +9
tbf you are likely behind on ilvl compared to the avg m+ player
and with people having rank 3 lazer now, its not going to help you
just get an outlaw rogue in your group that trickses often
bonus points if they offset their tricks for when your avatar is down
no
after seeing the log of a BrM performing 1 actual attack in the first 9 seconds of an encounter, I'm now* pretty cautious when it comes to people not holding aggro
I don't think its common to lose aggro just because a dps spec pops perfection or a big cd, at least not for prot warriors
maybe for some tanks that do less damage
grats
on the second boss in shrine hmmmm do i help with offsetting casting that gale force constantly we only 15 cooldown for interruupt. grats
lol i swear even after i use taunt i would lose agro from the DH
Azshara Font of Power good for us? My goal is max DPS
i have to use it twice to secure my aggro
@young oasis sim it, can also check bloodmallet for trinkets
it's not really a sim it question with font
oh sorry I thought that was the trinket?
because you have to take into account the time you lose before the pull
or how you have to plan your route according to it
can you even block/parry/dodge while channeling font?
and sometimes it's not the easiest thing to channel on the boss because of mechanics and shit
Only if the tooltip says you can.
what traits/ essesnce should i be using ? i guess i will have to wait to get my warrior up to 420's something before i think about doing another +9 on my tank.
VoP Major, and Lucid Minor seems the most popular choices right now.
@solid star pins
You just need to clap harder
sometimes you gotta clap softly
Im trying to figure it out why im losing it because last season i have no problem.
If you were having no issues last season, but suddenly are now.. and are not doing things differently, it's probably the ilvl discrepancy that people mentioned earlier.
if dps are poppin off with essences and stuff
and your avatar is down
you're gonna have a bad time
esp w/ ilvl discrepancy
Yea. I tell my group when my avatar is down on some pulls so they dont just go hog wild.
^^
'cause the dh and rogue i play with just like to go balls to the wall every chance they get
with VoP and AM it should be up for most pulls but sometimes you gotta warn em
anyone have any tips geting threw phase 2 of Radiance Mythic...im getting chunked soooo hard and having to blow every cooldown and healpot i have to try and stay alive
coordinate interrupts, ip, sr
a few tips not mentioned in the guides @solid star :
- for your earlier question, yes, you should be part of the interrupt rotation to prevent stacking of Gale on the 2nd boss in SotS
- Taunt is your friend and it isn't just an "ooops sorry" button. It magnifies your threat during the window by a substantial amount
- DPS have access to crazy essences now so you have to be more diligent about your distribution of damage. Specifically, not only targeting one mob (stuff like your auto-attacks all contribute to your threat) and spreading out your shield slams
- Heroic Leap resets Taunt's cooldown. Use it in a Pinch or combo it to lock down two mobs for little effort.
o int shout works on them?
thanks for the tips
I didnt think taunt amplified threat anymore?
totally does
I thought it just put you at the top for 3s
does that too
well what it does is 3 things:
- puts you at X+1 threat where X is the top dawg
I 100% thought they removed the threat amplification from taunt during some major release. I swear I read something about it, and people were complaining and worried about tanks
Avatar, thunderclap, shield slam, thunderclap
- forces them to attack you regardless of who is current top threat
TIL leap resets taunt
and 3) increases your threat to that target for the duration
which is why
taunt + heroic throw
is like 10x a threat multiplier
yep
that's the pull move
if your dps is going to go ham on pull and you can't let it move
for mechanical reasons
but yeah, lesser known feature is that you can use Taunt on a target already attacking you to give you a huge burst of threat
esp useful if you need to fuck off for some reason and can't dps
they removed the threat multiplier from the tooltip a while back, but it still amplifies your threat gen
Throw+taunt charge slam clap
an example is that fat boi on the bridge in FH. I basically run the whole bridge and let my dps just burn it while I can /dance at the end
this is mostlyy because I can taunt + HThrow all the way down get build a massive threat lead
so heroic throw and taunt should be good enought to secure the threat right ?
depends, but it's very good as an opener on ST as Kaege mentioned above
sometimes if im going into a pack I'll HT the high priority target as I go in to make sure it sticks
Heroic Throw is only one global. You usually have 2-3 globals for taunt so you should use all of them if possible.
taunt another to give it the buff so my aoe makes that fucker stick, then tab and SS the third, etc.
the taunt trickery is helpful on the jump but another big thing is just try to pump big dps
just think like a melee dps that also gets hit and try your best to top the meters :p
and nobody ever complained about tanks using dps potions in keys if you can afford em
how come we shouldnt use ignore pain during last stand ?
Uh that’s not a thing
you shouldn't use shieldblock during it
i mean it said only block melee
is 6 percent vers or should i go higher ?
Doesn’t matter
vers doesn't really matter fro prot warrior
check out the pins but just get your highest ilvl mostly
ilvl > all. haste if equal ilvl
for gem slots
if that case i can wear all my fury gear lol
we just weighing total stats yeh?
In some cases, I actually prefer crit.. but that's going into meme territory, depending on what you actually are doing.
Stat rating, stat percentage, none of that matters. Use your highest ilevel gear and whatever stats you end up with are fine. If you have the luxury of choosing between two items of the same ilevel, choose the one with more haste.
450 belt, imo.
really ? so it doesnt matter if the belt has other abilities link to it ?
like just raw stats?
In almost every situation, no. It does not matter.
Most item use effects (other than trinkets) aren't worth sacrificing anything for.
there's an argument for crit over haste in keys but
it's not a luxury most people have of being able to pick
Yea. Especially this early in the season, people are still gearing.
So you want highest ilvl until you have a bunch of equal ilvl pieces to choose from
parrying deadly things like the KR bleed is fun
#DwarfMasterRace
Ohhh is Parry why I sometimes take no damage from smack in KR?
so the rune on the second boss in ST it is deadly to stand it ?
Yeah, you can parry the attack that applies the bleed
And Debilitating Backhand on that boss
That's an...interesting transmog.
she's mogless :p
i figured lol.
I actually like that helm a lot; just not sure if I could ever put it with something that didn't look ridiculous.
yeah i messed around trying to make a mog around it
Here's my dorfboi https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/us/aerie-peak/stonehearth
it doesn't really go well with the other pieces from those dungeons, maybe it's just a femdorf thing
The belt needs to be mogged lol; just got it from an emissary
is there any addon to track thread meters ?
What are the ideal trinkets for m+? Top Warrior runs vial + ashvane but curious to see what others think
I've rezan+ vial. Will replace vial with gore crusted butchers block if it'll ever drop
As much as I hate alli, That looks pretty great ghash
Is gore crusted any good? or just the str
ive been running the mechagon trinket with the red haste punchcard and its pretty decent
So I have 400 gore crusted, 415 vial and mechagon trinket which combo would you run?
yes for 3 seconds
- crazy damage
@solid star you can use Omen, it works pretty well. Though, unless your OT is shit, it's rarely an issue and name plates that change colors based on threat work extremely well and is sufficient enough
if macro it with your avatar, you spend those first powerful seconds on using avatar and demo shout
this is my character
sure what's up
well i mainly use it for mythic plus tanking
yeah i think vial should be a solo bind
or like a modifier clap bind
to use after you get into avatar
i havent been using that
i hate binding trinkets into stuff
actually using a modifier on my avatar bind for trinket sounds cool
i been using that gore chopping block or something
eh sometimes it's just perfect
well, to be fair, i'm sure that i forget to use some of my stuff because it's not bound, but it's good habits
make a weak aura for what you need to remember
i mainly play fury
also, yea, at least for warrior, with anger management, things dont always line up
yea it's what i do now
also that
lucid is not
and having the haste while i drop RoP and get the party started works perfectly
wtb DS off the GCD, pst with offers
I dont like the GCD it anoying for like marcos
but you can press lucid and flame strike
which is also off the gcd
and also it is a haste trinket that makes your lucid gcd go faster
not exactly wasted then
yeah like i said sometimes it's suboptimal
but sometimes it's legit perfect to bind it in
it was perfect a lot more often when dps cooldowns were off gcd
counter-point: part of the GCD's value is to prevent you from just macro'ing your character to a few buttons 😃
most if the time it's sub-optimal but there are exceptions*
tomato tomahto
lol but dont we like burst dmg ?
you don't get it
instead of macroing avatar (20sec cd) with the 18 sec trinket
you press avatar, then clap then demo shout then you activate trinket and you clap again
what i like about binding trinkets into things is you don't waste that little bit of time of your fingers moving from one bind to the next
and less to mess up :p
user-error is prob the leading use for macros haha
but you usually have to do a modifier bind to the dmg ability that you'd be using first in your dps cooldown burn
so you don't waste duration of the trinket on avatars and demo shouts gcd
I do bind my Blood Fury to any 2 min cooldown for that reason
and then there's the bear tank streamer that binds mangle + ironfur
uh
who shall remain nameless
WAT
LMAO
does reckless flurry work on prot?
ye
i didn't think i'd be that offended by that thought
the dmg paart obv
ty
but that's like macro'ing IP to TClap
well i have heard of people binding shield slam and shield block
that's also a yikes haha
that's not a good idea
but that's worse tbh cause you have limited charges
at least ironfur is quasi spammable
and timing change from fight to fight
yeah, but half the point of tanking as a bear is being able to pool rage to burst out to the armor cap when you need it
yeah
that character didnt shoow my tanking set
lol
bet his healers were like "man bears are squishy as shit"
yeah
just like back in 8.0 when you'd have warriors with 20% SB effective uptime rolling through keys giving us a bad name =/
just spammin IP
i always do poor dmg on thunderclap i guess im guilty not always using avatar when it is up i tried
if you're playing Prot, you're basically playing a Shadow Priest with a Shield
you have your In-Avatar windows and Out-Avatar windows
your goal is to pump hard enough to get more IN time than Out, via Anger Management
Love that button
cherish it
i've noticed a somewhat rookie mistake is to underutilize SS as well, that's missed ST damage as well as rage gen
people just go ham with TC
yea i only use it in aoe if im low on rage, but it does happen, gotta throw one in to give more revenges
that or if there's a priority target in the group
it helps now due to the high damage it provides. allows you to cycle through and slap targets to keep up aggro between TClap casts
sometimes revenge just doesn't cut it
oh i hit tab all day long
yeah, that's a huge mistake i see with tanks
staying on one target and relying on cleave to keep the rest
im just still upset that even though they somewhat fixed tab, it's still shit compared to what it was in MoP
can't say i remember it that clearly from MoP, but it's not too bad in its current iteration
well i just remember that during WoD it got real bad
tab dotting seems a lot better than tab taunting :p
i prefer "tab slammin'"
it always seems to tab to the mob i haven't dotted yet but it never seems to tab to the mob i lost aggro on
which was also when mob positioning turned into the biggest chore in the world
oh this guy with a frontal cone is perfectly set up facing a wall, oh look now he decided to rotate around you
if you run with a particularly problematic dps, you could always just ToT macro them 😃
meanwhile I NEVER MOVED
yeah WoD they decided to mess with mob targeting and in the process caused them to update wayy too often
causing tons of micro adjustments so next thing ya know they're off in Kansas
despite having not moved
it's like they added 4 decimal places to their XY coordinates instead of just the 1 additional they could have used
big fatties still do it sometimes
but the benefit is that we can use that to also move ranged auto-attackers
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i thnk it's also the new "AI" that tries to spread out, so i get it in large groups, but when it's one mob i get annoyed
445 sivara vs 435 zaqul stays zaqul right?
helms i guess
What do you think of devastator ? i really liked it on legion
chest, sry
doh wrong loot spec lol
I'd take the 445 @rapid jewel you can sim for DPS.
@woven burrow it's main use as of now is only for ST raid DPS.
helps inflate your bag ilvl so you can get invited into more M+ groups?
its that bad?
@verbal crane yep, it's pretty bad for two reasons:
- its values are just poor. Low damage on the proc and the healing isnt' anything to write home about considering the proc rate
- It's an RNG healing proc, so even if you do proc it...it may be right after your healer just topped you off, when you're full, etc.
if you have a 430 ilvl 2h sword can you trade a 430 ilvl 1h sword if you dont have one that high? 🤔
@sand egret Interesting, for me it sims higher than same ilvl vial or -5ilvl rezan. And the HPS is not bad either - I ran a dungon with it and only 1/3 was overhealing - it healed me for almost 1/3 of my ignore pain values
Hey, I have salvaged mekacycle shielding at 420 with a socket, is it better then my 420 disc of indomitable will with a socket? I lose 58 haste and 6 mastery with the swap to the mekacycle for in turn the equip effect.
No it's not better.
Thank you!
opinions think
that's like half of a gale-force proc
for basically 100%
prob wins for ST, idk if it sims properly or not tho
Dream's End
I'd probably use dream's end for ST but idk if it's worth it in like M+ since you aren't going to stack it up as much.
barrier did 1600 DPS on myth radiance, for me (just for your info)
hy guys what 2 essense is the best now for prot warrior ? 😄
depends: Dmg its crucible major and barrier rang 3 minor
So has anyone confirmed 100% that hertz locker has to be done after R3 is obtained? Curious if that GM ended up being correct.
in raid that is
and for m+ ?
VoP and what you like, most go with lucid as minor and barrier in magic heavy dungeons
Dunno about this essence.... Check icyveins guide and simm it
what trinket do you guys think is the strongest for aoe dps?
i am trying to get my hands on inkpod but have been unlucky
during mythic aszhara intermission our prot has some.trouble with the damage intake: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kWpacRQyXnDj8ZbP/#fight=11
do you see anything weird, or its just our healing that is light?
Hey guys, which chest should i equip ? knowing that on my 2 other pieces i have 2 Bastion of Might , 1 Brace for impact or 1 incite the pack and 1 Deafening Crash https://gyazo.com/9a00d05b24ba2c008a9effccc757ca64 https://gyazo.com/af57b20ec5eb8efa1ccbad2b8c764336
at this point you go with ilvl
oh holy shit i didn't even see that 25 ilvl difference
very easily wear the 445, and swap IF for secrets of the deep
unless the ilvl scaling is trash and the 445 is bad, but i have found that trait insane on lower ilvl pieces
Ok ok ty
Im not a fan of “move here to collect this thing for buffs” mechanics, esp as a tank.
IF
kk, thanks, was leaning towards IF, CR gives more sim dps though, but, guess IF is a lot more valuable as defensive compared to CR
woo finally unlocked flying
lmao
turns out ignoring the meta quests ....not the best idea
let's see what the hype is about with this zappy trinket
can you block intercepted phys dmg?
and ends with ullfango
newp
ty
politics
How many ivls is a socket on a ring worth?
lmao
what tank are you even using on him that he's getting 100-0
but yeah
yup
little fucker doing 180k?!
you are slowpoking so hard blade
AND can crit
literally meme slowpoke
180k if you are unlucky
helloooo
I wouldn't use it though
yea it's total idiot proof ST dmg buff
Its not idiot proof because you have to stop using other abilities
And you can't block while you're using it
So your damage in increases if you're not careful
the fuck outta hear you dirty bear
so is devestator > booming voice in raid atm?
all you Nim!
or is it only at a certain haste %
Does iron fortress lose significant value if you are over soft cap block for m+?
no
There isn't any softcap
any amount you contribute to regular blocks is benefitial, there is no such thing as a "cap"
stop watching whatever his name is
yes streamer_dude
I just read the wowhead guide, that misinformation?
dont read the wowhead guide
read the icy veins one
in our pins or in #268491842637660160
anything on my question?
Thanks!
guides say booming, logs say devestator
there is no correlation between haste and devAstator
and devAstator is only used for ST damage purposes
wouldnt it be more procs of shield slam?
deva is better for pure ST, and barely
only za'qul's axe does that for you
so most often safer to just stick with BV
Procs are still random, unreliable. Not useable defensively
icic ty
To expand, you sacrifice survivability to get dps. Whether or not you can afford to or should do that is completely up to you
Quick navigation v Force Multiplier. ~430 ilvl weapon / prot warrior
any use for the Azshara trinket for tanking?
you can use it in raids pre swap to buff your dmg, armor and IP
@upper spoke low haste = nav, good haste = force.
devastator is defensive slightly below BV. This strongly depends on your Boss uptime too. A log comparison I did on Mythic Radiance between these two. Fight duration ~ 6:30, throwed out massive outliners (two low values for BV, one for Devastator)
Considering how low some of those BV values are, the BV data is likely skewed by suboptimal play.
Since BV is a consistent rage value, the totals for BV should be weighted on the number of DS casts (assuming fight times are exactly the same).
dont start with him
its his own log data
believe me we've had this discussion with him before
I'm bored waiting for Windows updates to install.
And yeah, I've read them and laughed while sitting in the can at work.
i just queued for a heroic TEP pug and the RL started shit talking me randomly
highlight of my night this week lmao
if i had to guess, he did confuse me with someone else
he stopped after that last exchange
That’s a bullet dodged
hella bullet dodged
You know what’s not a bullet dodged, merely postponed, is when I force @warm plinth , to tank a 15 this week on his warrior and drag his broken body through it
My guild is doing terribly on azshara decrees. I was watching a vod and they had a weak aura that all their raiders used that seemed to yell "SOLO" so it popped up above their heads. Anybody know what that is?
Lol. Should be fun!
I do not and will not understand how dps have trouble with decrees
😭
Then again it seems dps have trouble breathing/thinking at times
Trouble in what way?
they can't figure out how to stack/not stack and soak
has anyone seen the dungeon beta fight style on raidbots sim? I am wondering what it is actually simming because my prot war simmed like just over 28k. It is supposed to be like a dungeon type sim?
It's supposed to mimic a piece of a dungeon. It's like several trash packs followed by a boss at the end
Ah I see. So sad that I have gotten pieces of gear the last couple days that are 10-15 ilvl higher but no haste. One did have a socket though. Luckily I was at 1700 haste without the Frey bonus so I guess losing some for more crit isn't that bad
I'll use you in a heart beat
👀
You should
I’m going to go now... stranger danger
🙃
now kith
Ive got the Benthic Bracers with the Pufferfish with a socket. Should I upgrade them for raiding or keep on fishing for the ones that do Frost Damage ?
i would just upgrade them
you should replace them as soon as you get higher ilvl
the gap between the equip effects isn't significant and you could wste hundreds of pearls trying to roll a socketed frost pair
?? @lusty grotto wat
a pair of 425 socketed benthics are irreplaceable by any unsocketed bracers
for dps
youre smoking some crack
you could have an empty bracers slot and not notice a difference to your survivability
sup boys
what fight
Bragging about a 97% log in LFR, shame on you. Tsk-tsk, tsk.
Photoshopping rankings to brag, shame on you. Tsk-tsk, tsk.
you forgot to add some "toxic" stuff

heroic aren't any better
dont @ me
according to weep they are!
👍
😂
@lusty grotto can you share with me what your haste and crit are at? the number value not the % please
and also what trinkets are you rocking for those bosses?
@neat lagoon
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/KPhvBALkrt2bxzwR#fight=1&type=summary&source=2 , here you are mate.
No worries, tho keep in mind that Nimchip has hacked this information into warcraftlogs and they are not truely real logs. We all know that he is purely a LFR-tank.
woah woah wait. now I have seen people using Devastator a lot more, especially with higher haste BUT wtf is this Reckless Flurry trait as a prot warrior?
I thought it was for Fury only to have melee attacks decrease Reck CD? What does it for for Prot?
i dont know im using my highest ilvl
i honestly don't care about stats at this point
maybe when im full 445s
you don't use devastator without RF
its eh without it
but how does it effect protection?
it works with devastator
it adds damage to melee attacks AND lowers reck...so the first paRT STILL WORKS AS PROT
holy caps
you expect too much from my memory
ohhhhh I see. you would not recommend running this type of build for anything other than a single target boss?
yup
i mean, i'd weigh a good bet it was you
is Arcane Heart ooookay ?
it worked in BoD on jaina for example
wow, I will definitely give it a try next week or maybe on normal since I have done the first 4 on heroic earlier this morning in a pug.
i have the shitty choice between Callous Reprisal and Arcane Heart
@lusty grotto I cannot see from my work server, but what essence gives you the Null Barrier?
Because I am just using Vision and Memory for basically anything I tank. I figured they are both generic and solid essences that provide passive DPS and Healing
nullification dynamo r3
okay I know I have that. Can you kinda explain how it does so much damage in a patchwerk type encounter like the first 3
i use VoP and lucid for M+
exalted with rusties
will test null dynamo minor r3 in some m+, seems okayish. Lucid was kinda meh
and change lucid for null on select instances like shrine/kr
absorbs magic damage....the explodes shadow damage
null isn't worth it on other dungeons
okay so only something that is heavy magic
CoF minor for tyrannical weeks on higher keys is best dps choice yeah?
it could work yeah
so Null Barrier, that is an on use right?
I wouldnt ever use null barrier major tbh
but im not using it as a major
you can run r3 flame and r3 null minor on all till orgozoa basically...then you would swap back to vision and memory
oh okay, so minor it just has a absorb and explosion every so often than?
you can just go to warcraft logs and select only prot warriors and see what people run...hell dudes running devastator without reck trait still top 10 warriors
oh nice nice. so for like Shivara, I am assuming to get the most DPS out of it you will want to tank the boss as much as you can to constantly keep popping it due to the frost / nature DoT stacking up
i honestly didn't cheese, but i suppose you could do it
i mean if you have a stack of toxic or frost you are taking damage it will absorb so tanking or not
well I mean I am 430-432 equipped and I feel like I can let her stack up as high as hell on me. Does't hurt much at all
and then on like ashvane just soak a bubble...on mythic 1 is fine for whole fight on heroic just soak when debuff falls off and its uptime is 100%
good convo here fellas. definitely going to try out Null this week on a KR since I havent even ran one this season lol
but if you have a stack on mythic its for 20 min...so you are set and if there is a lapse in soaking you will pop it regardless
run KR for that sweet geti for your off specs :>
heh
yeah I have been trying. I was using a 410 Polearm with no strength from Crucible and a 400 Mechanic Arm from MOTHER lol
finally bonus rolled the mace from Radiance today
why be fury when you can be prot
well prot is the master spec
I was trying Arms but it felt like I was getting the same (or a tad lower) numbers compared to Fury and doing a hell of a lot more work
arms is trash
your face is trash
arms is only good for 3s rn sadly
strash face
I mean a nice Colossus, Sweeping Strikes, and Bladestorm pull feels good
arms alt spec masterrace
but im jk, fury just pumps
i cant play it because i fucking hate fury
since vanilla
fury gameplay is kinda meh imo
i liek fury but i kill shit fast enough as prot to not even care about swapping
only time you need to think (barely) is when you might need to delay a Rampage for a half a second to toss a Seigebreaker up first
Fury is a lot of fun what do you guys mean 
fun 😡
but imo I also feel like its one of the best mythic+ melee specs in the game
im sorry gch, you are a regular you know that spec doesn't exist for me
yellow class masterrace for m+
DH
i am unable to spec it
Deswind is the reason i love fury
DH I think is on par or above with Fury but Rogues are one trick pony
True @potent anvil
😂
Rogue definitely not one trick pony
They’re the best melee in m+ no question about it
I never see an outlaw rogue doing much of anything on a tyrannical week
boss damage drops off
You’ve never seen a good one then. Check out top rogues
rogues can do everything except dispel for M+ so who needs other melees? except a monk for that sweet debuff but we arent MDI players anyway
Quick about your wits still can provide a lot of st boss dps
I mean a rogue / unholy dk combo is god
i love watching MDI and Method just rolling through half the dungeons trash with an outlaw and a unholy dk with a prot warrior
that's a no joke
unholy needs a huge amount of trash like ML to be very effective tho
prolly ending the entire dungeon with like 75k dps overall
unholy won't do squat this season
otherwise a 2nd shroud or smth is usually better
I have not seen the changes they made to Unholy
but I have heard frost is stepping it up?
im not gonna lie, i haven't grouped with a dk since s1
on a basic tank swap raid boss fight, what % of blocked hits is acceptable?
as close to 100% as possible
anything below 60% is rip
you should be able to be above 70% fairly easily
ayt, thanks!
shieldblock + laststand = easy blocks anyway
The UH I’ve seen fucking pumps
Even with the smaller pullsizes
Fair granted they’ve been optimised but most classes can/do once they are
perhaps, but not as much as other classes, their output is limited
the numbers you saw at last MDI were a product of the size of the pulls
Yeah I’m aware of how their quadratic scaling works
Or however you say that stupid word
yeah but you have to take into consideration if the tank is playing purely offensive? I am assuming he is wondering about it because the tank might be having survival issues so yea he should be close to 100
No we have a cut off at 20
ahhh shit yeah you're right
Last I checked unholy don’t.
i completely forgot about that
Which is why they were able to go to legit a mil on one pull I saw
unholy has no aoe cap on popping the wounds afaik so yeah
Wait, my name is still benchwind yet I'm raiding prog 😞
Noice 😂
benchwind pls
Need to change the big D to B
once a bench
Rip I read that wrong
always a bench
shots fired
Lmao
here you go benchwind 🗞 hit the bear
🙈
Use your cans scare it away
does anyone know how effective Iron Fortress is? like if someone stacked it up do we think it would pull solid numbers on large melee pulls?
no
I am just wondering because I like the "thorns" type abilites
IF is taken defensively, it can't compete aoe wise with other traits
I figured
in dps
Sure - do it, and bring a druid with the thorns talent. Why not? Sounds like silly fun to me ;3
We arnt barbs from D3
No invoker plays here at least not yet blizz likes ripping off and recycling their other games
But then again that’s all MMOs have ever done
I have seen some prot warriors using 3 deafening? Is it worth taking 3 of them for the extra damage since the duration cannot be increased? or is 3x BoM still better?
a lot of people suggested not to go into benthic azgear but i ended up getting like bis traits and took it to 420 but taking it to 435 is fucknig 350 pearls
You can get both 3dc and 3bom
But in terms of the both bom is better by gajillions after first DC
yeah finding some azerite pieces that will allow 3 stacks of each would be a little challenging to get a ahold of
or at least of an item level worth wearing, but that would be sick. unstoppable in all aspects!
oof a 445 chest without bastion or a 420 with 😦
never lucky >:
Wouldn't the raw strength, armor and stamina have value? Also, presume you can chose loyal to the end on that gearpice - so masteryvalue wont be too different. I don't know, just dont want the 445 to be wasted 😦
445 always
445 always yeah
25 item levels higher? yeah no question
tbh even if it was a 415 vs a 430 i would still say 430
how many ilvls is bastion of might worth?
None, officially, though if you are going from say, a 430 piece with good traits and you get a 445 piece with trash all around, it's probably worth using the 430.
Yeah, 420 to 430 trash all around
it does have bloodsport so i mean
lose bastion...gain blood sport and one random and 10 ilvl
daddy got some inkpods
but got some azerite on court 😢
and im out of coins 😢
time to zz
trade me inkpods

Thyme was slower😱
mwahi is my active replacement, so it's only nature

oof

mh someone know can i reset mechagon for the rang 4 essenz if we fail?
no you cant
For teeming motherlode how valuable would Aegis lvl 3 be? Over Level 3 lucid minor? Or is the rage refund just to good
I haven't really used Aegis, but I'd say the vers buff and the healing is pretty weak compared to more rage gen. And the major is just another flat damage reduction CD. Between the two I'd always choose Lucid, in minor or major.
If you've got Vision of Perfection r2 you'll be in for a treat
Especially with the Bastion of Might azerite trait
Tfw no longer have any BoM traits
