or at this point wait to see what I get in 8.3? haha
go ahead and swap, itll help you going into 8.3 more than BS will
np
kinda funny, I came back to the game for Classic, but playing warrior on Classic just made me want to play my old main again. Been having a blast with it and Prot is really fun now
i coudln't get into classic, leveled a rogue to 40range
but its SO SLOW compared to modren wow
but yah i agree prot is super fun in BFA
its fun when people interrupt magic dmg
but thats every tank
is it?
if you ignore Water Bolt or Salt Spray anyone is gonna get rekt by it
i mean i nvr expect pugs to interrupt that stuff lol
ur a lucky duck
yea it feels like I have to take null barrier and kite a lot in pugs
mmm null barrier's value in M+ is kinda misleading
its not when no1 interrupts lol
even then
like a magic absorb seems good on paper
but the crazy amount of verse you get from CnS/Aegis or even lucid
oftentimes becomes more and more valuable
i tend to go VoP/CnS/aegis mostly
and since verse is % DR it increases in value the higher up you go
where null's absorb is flat
like hte only place Null relaly shines outside raid is like high tyranical ML
and even then just for last 2 bosses
null does big damage
hmm i see ur reasoning
which is super rare in keys
I feel like paper mache in shrine & KR
those casters are out for blood
bursting is the magic dot
bursting is shadow
and even then the play there is edicts in magic setting
just stand in sang for a tick 🙂
i wouldn't bother with magic edict except in ML for last 2 bosses
there and bursting
if your healer is struggling and you still wanna mondo pull
but yah in M+ even with damages that have a dumb amount of spooky casters
like shrine and KR
the damage profile is still heavily physical
and Null doesn't consistently pop for the dmg, nor provide as much overall benefit for the magic reduc
the only thing that resets it is manually changing it no?
at least on bursting it pretty consistently is consumed
yah so on bursting it can stay stacked if you play around it which is nice
but im just not huge into edicts in general
i would never take magic edict for bursting
and back to the original issue
i was a diehard Rumbling Earth player
swapped to stormbolt maybe a month ago
and havn't looked back
its SUPER nice to have an additional interrupt
esp if yo'ure running with lazy/braindead dps
also remember your intimidate shout can be used as a panic interrupt
same way a monks para can be
i ran rumbling all of s2 on my war alt
when i picked the char back up in s3 i used stormbolt
^ rumbling still good
and def has value in places like AD for the saurids and shieldy guys
but fuck man, an on the spot st stun is too good
for oh shit moments
effectively gives you 4 interrupts (5 if you count SR)
those are usually called 'stops'
disrupts
why i said effectively
i call em stops because that's what I heard first
it also includes stuff like RoP and typhoon
but those can actually have more value depending on the situation
since some mobs are special and are otherwise CC resistant
like the beefy tossy guys in early Freehold
too early to remember their name rn
true but there are some mobs that will recast if you knock them
yeh
still can buy you some time, and theres some things that its fantastic for, like stopping the raptor cleave in KR (it just turns off their AI for the time they would be channeling)
or panic stopping the puking maggots in UR
almost every piece of utility in the game has some use or another in M+
basically
and im only saying 'almost' cause I can't think of any and if i said "all utility" someone would come out with "UMM ACTUALLY Mages uselss spell is 100% useless"
Meh, I’ve called it interrupts Morrison.
in the case we were talking about it functions as an interrupt
but they right about it being disrupts
Yup, I’m just saying I heard it called interrupts, cc. Cancels. Not stops though. /shrug
at this point you cant even use spell locking as a way to define something being an interrupt
cause theres tons of mobs offhand that just don't get school locked
or even spell locked anymore
Iv heard it colloquially called kicks too
Yup
just for anything that stops the bad thing happening in the moment lol
Pretty much!
`does anyone have a weakaura that tracks when revenge is free/costs no rage?
1s
No but it's easy to make
i gotchu
ty
i can't find the one i use without it being bundled with 50 others things so imma just DM you the paste
has a decent visual and makes a noise when it procs
^ this too
am looking for something smaller/differant than the default
well you can resize that to fit your mood, but if you want something thats just the icon showing up you can make that yourself ez pz
what u sent was great thanks 🙂
np
If not raiding, is it worth to level BS for the two 470 crafts you think?
do you want to push high keys at the start of the patch?
crafted gear gets outclassed the farther you are in the patch, you only really run it for a high level piece of gear early on
I think it is shinigami. Because you can reroll to get the stats you want. You never know when you’ll get the belt / pants from your mythic cache
It’s guaranteed versus what may or may not happened
Having a known good piece with no corruption is pretty good considering u can only have so much, especially early on
Socket too
I’d recommend doing professions 🙂
2 known socketed pieces is pretty good.
But, then again, I did stock up on osmenite ore and expulsom. And I’m still transmuting more expulsom every day
Hm, might drop my alch for it then
Hey guys, i was wondering which trinket combination would suit best for m+ (from +15-+20), my trinkets are: 430 Rezan w/ socket, 430 block, 455 Briny Barnacle, 430 Urchin w/ socket, 430 Edicts.
Hi @spiral ravine it’s hard to say for all cases imo. As a baseline I’d say urchin and either block or rezans. If you feel like you need some more defensives I’d go urchin and edicts. If you don’t, then go block / rezans
you'd go rezan & block over a 455 briny?
My trinkets tend to fluctuate. Between urchin, rezan, inkpod, block, howler, and some others
I don’t remember what briny does off hand but I love haste and crit.
Alright, that's what i've been running on my last runs, but i had that little doubt bc of the 455 briny, tbh i dont really like the trinket but since it's 455 i was hesitant
Yeah, I’d take them over a briny. Purely because the rezans and block both offer defensive aspects as well as offensive.
Yeah I stand by my statement
thanks @exotic spoke !
You’re welcome
How much Osemite and expulsom does it take to make belt and pants
Can’t remember. I think it’s like 300 osmenite per highest Ilvl craft and maybe 50 expulsom?
irrc briny isn't nearly as good as it seems in multi target
its ok as a ST dps trink but
even then far outscaled by dribblepod or even phial
475 is mythic Ilvl right?
is phial good?
phial is ok
its decent at aoe dps
its pretty gud at strictly st because of the ramp up
but theres far better in both cases
and yah 475 is mythic
unless you talking Nzoth then its 485
470 belt is 300 osmenite and 50 expulsom
470 pants are 400 osmenite and 60 expulso
Fellow prots, one question regarding the bleed of the berserkers in kings rest: if I apply demo shout while I have the bleed does it reduce the bleed dmg? Or do I need to shout before the bleed is applied to me? If the ladder, does it also need to last the entire bleed?
But it doesn’t need to last the entire bleed?
if im correct about the snapshot yeh
hi
Okay will take it as that then, thanks!!
Hi catfriend
what's all this talk about the K value ? Will it do a huge difference ?
It takes a total of 1525 osmenite to make one of each - pants and belt - at all three tiers
You get some expulsom back as you scrap but if you don’t 235 expulsom
i hate being back to school. one of my classes sucks
K value is a hidden factor wow's always done to make content scale properly as tiers progress
at its core it devalues current armor/Active mitigation values
so stuff is hard again
@mystic whale k value goes up every single tier. It’ll hurt at first, just like it always does, but once you get a new shield of equivalent difficulty you’ll notice it’s back to what it was (basically$
its something wow's always done
and not something to worry about because well get back to basically where we are now once you gear up
no
every tank is hit by it
stagger is directly impacted by it
and since the majority of Bear/DH/DK's active mitigation is armor based its still effected by K value
if you hear ppl freaking out about 'k value nerfs' or 'xyz tank is now unplayable because k values D:'
ignore them
its just the way to scale back EVERY tank to roughly where we are at the start of every tier
so gaining ilvl (in terms of armor and block) matters again
(the reason it seems war and pally is hit harder is simply because having a good shield is such an integral part of our survivability, it has nothing to do with K value itself and everything to do with how important block stat is)
and a good shield gives you a buttload of armor 🙂
why im just gonna roll once each slot for the ilvl
and then hard buy
raid has some pretty nice substitutes since everything is BoM
and iv fallen down the hole of gambling for no payout 2 seasons now
Same
gamble 4 lyfe
i bought like 11 shoulders on my priest without getting the 1 good ones, yolo
😂
Do you abyssal @distant crystal or the one from raid
raid sadly
Scrub
UF instead of OP :*(
Double MS double OP
now with EV being mega nerfed
looking forward to that Double MS double OP with a few % haste buffs
TC every gcd dream
its coming bois
Is OP still gonna be the go-to? It's getting nerfed right?
I didn't read details on how bad though
its ppm instead of rppm
so its a bit of a ding
but the only thing i could concievably see as better is UF
Global cooldown scales just as fast with haste as TC/SS cooldowns do up until 100 % haste.
You haste would need to be way above 100 % for your "rotation" to change
right
Oh they took the haste scaling away
which can happen in Temple already
with the last boss
its not inconceivable with 2 MS 2 OP, and a few stacks of multiplicative corruption pieces
not to mention rezans + wrathion trinket
that wed be able to hit that poin in hero windows
I thought corruption pieces were additive
everything iv seen calls it multiplicative
i fully expect us to hit ToS final boss levels of haste if you fully gear for it
by end of xpac
(especially since the % haste increase also boosts hero)
:0
Yeah it shouldn't boost hero 🤔
its ppm instead of rppm
what
it's rppm instead of hasted rppm :p
its being changed from rppm (scales of haste) to ppm
Not all RPPM scales with haste. That doesn't make it PPM
ah mb been using PPM as non haste sacling rppm
i used to be really haste obsessed when i played rsham in wrath
having more haste rating makes hero/lust a bigger cast time gain, it's weird
Getting to the haste soft cap is not impossible, some classes (holy paladins with HA + Hero) get there now.
The more interesting question is whether you should try to get there and I'm inclined to say no.
The value of haste above 100 % is not nothing, but it's diminished quite a bit, making all other secondary stats stronger at that point.
Not only that but fuck how terrible would it feel to play? I have issues at high haste now with using certain abilities, especially on ToS last boss
but itll def be a super meme build to get that high
FACTS OVER FEELS amirite
Getting to 140% haste with all profs rolling feels good though
yeah
From a bragging stand point
you can tweak that spell window shit
It's not a spell window shit
Sometimes you literally can spam an ability for 5 seconds and nothing happens
It even does the sound effect
spriests deal with it often
It feels like you are really blasting, but you would actually do more damage with 100 % haste and a bunch of crit/versa instead of 140 % haste 🙂
with high VF stacks
I don't see how that would be spell window shit
MS, OP, force multiplier, Drums, and go
probably
that's the fix generally
or whichever weapon proc isn't nerfed into the fucking ground
If I press a button, it should cast. Spell queue shouldn't have anything to do with it
@junior igloo yeah, but I can’t do that. It’s not reliable to get to 140% either as it is a ton of procs and drums
shouldn't but it does
I don’t play for the maximums there. Having the multiple haste procs is better so that it’s more likely something is going on
voidbolts would routinely not fire off because of it
But, I’m also less concerned about the damage and more concerned about the benefits to shield block recharge
at what % haste can you have 100% uptime
Not sure off hand
Hmm, idk if my problem is the same then, because it happens with Blade Dance/Death Sweep a lot, which has a 3 or 4 second CD
SB
it's a lot
Like I can literally spam Blade Dance and it will do the sound effect like it's casting but takes like 5 presses to actually go off. That's super fucked if that's spellqueue somehow
be interesting to see if its possible to hit that with corruption and procs
that's pretty much the behavior that spriests see yea
though probably reasonably less with Bolster
not optimal but interesting
Probably not consistently - but probably with all procs
Rezans, MS. oP, Force multiplier
yah theres def gonna be some 'planets align' shit where you feel like you're in hero

Yeah, that’s when I saw like 140%haste
im really digging the prospect of corruption in place of TF
actualy exciting options and builds now
instead of ilvl lottery
@warm plinth just give it a whirl, drop your spellqueue by like 10-20ms at a time and see if it feels better
You need 166 % haste to achieve 100 % Shield Block uptime. @left hatch
hoping it functions and community digs it so they bring it into 9.0
Corruption lottery
corruption lottery easier than ilvl/socket lottery tho
I have a couple thoughts about specific corruptions.... it’ll be interesting
i think i'm gonna let fate decide my raid main next tier
whoever gets the best corrupted piece from the M+ cache
Prot warrior - no balls you won’t
= new main
is there anything diffinitive about the new damage corruption thing to hunt for
now EV is meh
they buffed the shit out of all the others
Which is awesome
and EV will still be pretty strong imo, just not ridiculously busted
they didn't buff the dragons breath ):
Hello riki
who
A couple look interesting but I’ll wait on those - just planning to hoard any corrupted items for now and evaluate later since I’ll need defensives at first
^^^
Hi theseus
I’m NotRiki now
Sorry
Isnt the infinite stars one
Some assclown on Sargeras has my name on like a level 56 priest and I can’t get it
Giga ahead of everything else
Btw I was reading about how K values don’t effect DK so should I reroll from prot warrior ?
🗞️
Obv /s
why did you hot link OT and also post the link waat
what a truly awful crop job

same tbh
Is it worth getting 1x Bloodsport for M+ (high keys) (other traits are 3xBM 1x(Tclap) 1x(BFI) (Opposite would be 2x BFI)
ok comparably to all but 1 other prot trait
and a GOOD number of generic traits
its bad
yes BFI is a much better option
every aspect of it stacks, so you can really pump on bosses
and itll give you a sizeble chunk to DR in aoe if you weave in the occasional SS as you TC away
@exotic spoke I did some ptr stuff myself
idk if its worth it going for 50 momentos first try
It was also when it was 100 more sanity
it's possible definitely
That they recently nerfed
but not worth the risk IMO
And also, was assuming group
do you know what our option B is?
One person would go in and suicide - clicking on objectives while the rest of the group kills the boss
we form 4 man groups and you send 2 people in each group to do everything on their main alt
Option B? You can farm corrupted mementos very slowly after you do the first horrific vision
That’s not bad
so you have 2 people with upgrades on alts and 2 people on mains
Except they need a key too. Each person needs a key. If they do everything they don’t have keys 😦
But they could do one or two runs to get a head start and then swap
you can do 2 runs
And repeat and do the last couple runs as a full group with extra benefit
2 runs will unlock main upgrade and 1 node
Yup
My line of thinking was have our tank/healer go to the boss in the first one, and the DPS go to one of the tainted areas and do shit. That way the tank/heals can get a feel for how long the boss is gonna take so we can head that way when necessary
and then you do 2 like that
I think there’s a better option though Kaege
and then you use the mains that did 2 runs to do them with the poeple that used their alts
Do one, if in a group 1 person suicides to get to 50
Then don’t do any more until Sunday / Monday - farm corrupted mementos from things in the regular world
Get enough for another talent or two
I dislike where they put the chest talent now
so it looks like we wont be able to do conquest next week for conflict and strife chest then?
seems like arena ends
hey can i get the hidden artifact now ? and if i can i need to read the tablet every time and wear the artifact ?
i mean legion hidden artifact
the tsmog
Yes, no, and no
You literally just go to the cave once per day after reset. You either get the emote in chat or you don't.
If you do, you go into the cave and find it in one of the treasure piles
how many chance i got to get it ?\
You get one chance per day
drop chance i mean
There is no drop chance
If you get the emote, you get the appearance
How long it takes to get the emote varies. It's pure RNG
okey ty soo much
Took me 2 months, had a guy in here for a while who took like 3+ months. Others have gotten it very quickly. All you can do is go to the cave every day
okey ty ty ty 😄
depends on your ilvl i guess
Depends on your group
Ye but then the 5th player was probably also geared
5 moonkins timed fh 10 or 11?
lol
And did they have gear? Probably 😛
And i said ilvl plays a part. And it does no matter the group
His only question was if its possible to do +10 with no prot traits
Which it def is
Ilvl is part of that group condition tbh
im guessing traits really matter after 15+?
Traits matter at every level. But the higher you go, the more you're going to notice that you're being dumb using traits for another spec :p
@warm plinth what's up Pinky
Hi Lincoln
I have a question about Nullification Dynamo. My absorb is only 33.3k, while my monk's is 39.7k My warrior has more vers than the monk as well. What can cause the absorb amount to be higher on the monk?
Neck level
Both 70
Null is affected by CF for Monk
Thought CF was only crit heals
Wait, is it really? 😂
That's funny
🙂
You know that's not where that name comes from right Lincoln lol
It's from MPF. When I joined, I was being an idiot and insisted on a hot pink name color (for no reason at all). Eventually won the color in a contest, and then to continue the meme changed my nickname to Pinky. And here we are.
MPF?
Mythic Plus Friends
oh
Hmm, so if it was purely CF, you'd expect the monk's Null absorb to vary in size
depends on crit chance so sure
It's still a consistent amount
I rememebr there was a spread sheet pinned with all SRable abilties in Dungeons, where did it go?
There it is, ty fam
fastest way to get a 400+ ilvl shield?
first week of conquest gets you a 410, you can pick a shield 😄
if you've already done that... well... there's a new season in a few weeks
oh ok cool
Will we still be able to conquest cap next week for conflict and strife?
I’m one week away
Or do I have to get my rating back up
Hard to say. I could see it going either way.
My understanding is no. But I have been wrong before
The blue post made it seem like I wouldn’t be able to. Fuck me
Ya really hate to see it
anywhere I can get guaranteed 400+ azerite bits with BoM quickly?
playing the game
So much rated PvP to do. Like all my guys only have rank 2 CNS
@slender nova probably raid is your best bet tho the BoM pieces come a bit later down the bosses.
idk
the blue post said you would get season 3 rewards yeah?
For the 21st, "mythic Keystone and PvP chests that are opened this week reflect Season 3 rewards earned the prior week,"
What slot is it xis
wrists looks like
@ionic fern what's the scale on leech corruption effects to the post-80 corruption extra dmg taken? super worth to stack? can i get a graph?
God damnit Hawgz
did you expect a hot chick to ping you/
@wheat bronze its consistent with CF because of how CF works with absorbs, instead of it being a chance to 'crit absorb' like with heals, it passively increases all absorbs by your crit %
so itll always be that size outside of verse/crit procs
@warm plinth what?
for snapping saurids
what's the best way to do it with sanguine?
We do two packs but whenever I leave it because of sanguine it one shots people
Carefully
try to kill them all evenly
even if that means stopping dps until you have them gathered
jump out as soon as stuff starts dying imo
especially since they'll likely just heal up anyway
do u guys think never surrender will be used in the next raid over bolster?\
unless they're SUPER close to death and you can kill before the first tick
no, never
never surrender is a garbage talent
iam concerned of the amount of magic damage etc
physical damage will ALWYS be a major component of every boss fight
3rd of all its not going to be more magic dmg than physical dmg
we havn't seen something thats exclusively magic since star auger
sweet as ty
4th of all NS gets only 50% boost if youre already 50% aka a 30-40k bigger IP when youre already half HP
that in itself is so bad
so the lower cd of LS ends up being a more reliable method of dealing with magic damage anyway
since the full benefit of NS comes when you're already dead
and if you at 1% a double sized IP won't save you lol
u guys bother hearthin in ML on tyrannical? after second boss?
never heard or seen anyone ACTUALLY do it
iv heard of people on hear talkign about it in like 20+'s but only if other dps in their group are already swapping to ST talents for it
so theyd be waiting around anyway
ive done 2 times and felt squishy af with it
its because its not a good talent haha
also Narrian, a high key ML is 10x more tank dmg than any normal raid scenario
just saying
in no raid scenario will you need 60k+ permanent hps on your tank
❤️
@strong forum I did it once
Hearth out after second boss. But 3 other members in my group where to swap to pure single target builds since we had 100% trash
probably the exact person/situation i remember someone talking about lmfao
the one time in history its happened
That's pretty much the only place it makes sense ye
Maybe there'll be some super magic dmg boss in nyalotha where is worth
Or mechagon
i can't see it in mechagon, cause even the last boss and his 'i only do magic damage' start
has a phase oh super heavy hitting melee attacks when hes in the robat
I only did it like 3-4 weeks ago? Was a 21 tyrannical I think?
probably been said a million times but we still running crucible major on tuesday over VOP?
thought so...didnt think the 12% was gonna affect much
yeah should of specified raid
No worries, I assumed you meant raids anyway :p
what do you guys think of conflict and strife + aegis of the deep + nullification dynamo as minor essence for the next patch?
youre gonna wanna use one of the new essences as minor for the corruption resistance
^^
formless will have strong mainstat/haste uptime
as a minor
other two are questionable
at least for M+ wouldn't one of the existing favs (like sphere) give more value than formless
as long as the 10 resistance isn't necesary for another good corruption piece
the 10 resistance will almost always going to be important
mm idk, at least my limited ptr experience didn't get enough corrupted pieces to warrent it
was able to remain below 20 corruption with just the cloak
but also didn't do more than 2-3 keys
and do ptr once
this was also before the huge increases to some of the costs
so yah looking at it now you 100% right, once you get a high cost piece its way more likely the limiting factor will be resistance and avoiding a spooky corruption breakpoint, rather than your access to corruption pieces
by the time you have 75 neck you will will have enough corrupted pieces
yah, i was in the mindset of everything still costing in the 25 bracket
was being dumb
75 day 3
75 is only 158k ap
thats really not much
same as last tier only you have 1 less week
EP will still drop AP next week, but Uldir and BFD won't right?
or don't anymore rather
right now uldir gives 100 ap each, bda gives 300 each
hmmm ok
EP gives 900
i'm assuming it'll be dropped to 100/100/300/900
BDA AP got nerfed post TEP release
maybe uldir will give 30 ap who knows
however
I love QI, but sometimes the answer in life is just = Nobody Knows.
Who the shit calls it BDA; we got some weirdos in here
BfD
because the raid is called both Battle of Dazaralor & Battle For Dazaralor
im tired ):
BoD only works for the former
It's BoD
Battle For Dazar'alor
you understood what I meant, so it means battle for dazar'alor
It means Big Ducks Arguing to me
Belly dancers anonomous
Babies Doing Aerobics

Deswind I miss Pogwind; when is he coming back?
I preferred benchedwind followed by raiderwind (my favorite if im honest)
same
Maybe if you ping a mod, they'll change it. Maybe Late 🤔
@ionic fern Please change Deswind's name to Wishhehadabetternamewind
Bod or 👉 🚪
That’s like a lot of extra work and I don’t want to be a follower deswind.
This would be a question for any warrior that has come from bear tanking.......is it really worth switching over? I’m trying to break into the 20 keys. And on my bear I’m plusing 19s but can’t seems to plus 20s. Is making the switch worth it?
That’s not what I’m asking .
Oof
How much DPS do you do overall?
I think around 22k?
Wish I had more input, just curious
@civic isle some people here say they do 30k overall as a Prot War, for what it's worth. I typically do 25k overall, but I'm not Mythic raid geared and I PUG so I'm not usually doing giant butt puckering pulls at >+15
Hopefully someone who plays both can weigh in
I do 35-40k on average
Bear should be able to reach similar numbers as they have comparable aoe dps output
Generally you should be able to push 20s with a coordinated group, any tank can.
However I can't deny that it will be easier to find people willing to play with a 'meta' tank than with a guardian cuz 99% of people have no clue
holy fuck 35-40K is a shit ton
yeah that's crazy
idk why i can't do anything like the people here do
i did in s2
but suck now
🤷
hit avatar on cd (mainly) 3x bom etc.
Late's M+ philosophy is "let's see if I can do this without dying"
Na
Some mobs are so troll
It's FH 17
Just pepega druid
I don't trust my own dps players enough to do crazy shit
Haven't seen em break 60k yet
Except fury
lololol
I can't break 60k so :/
Damn, I feel like trash now
just did a few underrots to try to get a key for the weekly, had a bm hunter do 65K overall
that was crazy
Ye, my fury mates did close to 70k overall
How many mobs per pull on average you'd say?
In UR and ML
Underrot is perfect for fury
On ml you can pump as warri tho
4-5, a lasher a swarmer a maggot then a rot or two
Do you gear/spec for full offense?
as warrior? I do
Yes
at a higher level most don't reccomend it
I don't trust PUGs so sadly I roll conservatively
on my monk, just going from a 435 urchin/edicts to mythic level, made a DRASTIC difference
eh
that's an excuse
Only at 21+ I'd say it's beneficial
pugs have nothing to do with your defensive/offense play tbh
It makes it smoother
so can using cyclotronic blast on a prior mob
I feel like it does, if the healer doesn't have to worry about me, people die less
yeah yeah same old excuse
lol
I play defensively because ooga booga dps are bad
hear it all the time
i never buy it
:(
unless you're doing, i'd say 18+
in pugs you grabbing a few more defensive trinkets doesn't make a damn difference
There's no real "playing" offensively/defensively as a warrior. You can change some trinkets but that's really it.
Defensive trinkets aren't gonna safe your life, they're only played to smoothen shit in giga keys
Yeah like you should be doing the same rotation and shit no matter what.
people who say that aren't using blackout strike or demo shout on cd
Yeah I guess that's what I mean, just defensively trinket
someone once told me demo shout is a defensive 
i just hear people who do shit dps use "playing defensively" as an excuse
My HPS will fluctuate about 7k going from "offensive" to "defensive"
sure
Then add that to your base toolkit
Feels pretty decent
My average hps without both is depending on key 15-17k
Oh man
Tomorrow is gonna be hella fun
Haha
Playing offensively means playing defensively
Block + X
Just the mechagon card and coral
Gonna build my new pc tomorrow
both defensive and offensive trinkets
Guess I gotta farm me a block
yeet
Can't deduce a best combo
urchin+edicts is bonkers for BrM tho and covers their very real weakness
And monk stacks shitton of vers
block + vial not worth?
What weakness xD
Vial is fine
Vial is fine if you percetly know how to use it
^
but yeah hps as a warrior is legit an irrelevant metric
Aka when you have avatar and demo up, then press it in conjunction with TC
i just avatar > clap > demo and vial > clap clap clap
Yes that correct
dont main spec prot so not really the best
So
Eh
I got a 512gb ssd for $60 today
could be wrong
Felt great
oh shit
Grats

( is that cheap?)
Also I wouldn't macro vial to anything if you're trying to maximize it
Haven't checked it for like 2 years
It's a pretty good price imo
LOL
lol my gear is optimized for fury
yeah
griff
you're fucking right
now i'm just realizing how fucking terrible that advice is
macro to t clap
fucking lol
It's a sata ssd so not the best but realistically you're not going to notice tbh
Prices honestly are coming to a nice level
only clap when vial
10/10
Ohno
big brain
Big bdk dps
Like for reference a 1tb hdd from western digital is like $44 and that sandisk ssd I bought was 512gb at $64.99
i have a 455 fang
i dont actually use it
i equipped so i can trade 455s both slots and now its expulsom
havent got a 455 since tho
Fang apparently pumps
i only tank up to like 19s
But you need to use it really well
It's good damage but really bad if you use it at the wrong time or wrong mob
For DKs it's a non issue
u like have to use it with shield wall or u just die
Or shockwave
channeling that
boomkins 
Boomies are dope
if only they existed in my guild
Best ranged class imo now that they removed that stupid pendulum swing
Can't really stand any of the others
But that's why I don't play them
i meant i personally dont like playing ranged
Ah
Just 3 stack fire mages 4head
I hate that too ye
i run occasionally with an ele sham
Fire is about to be insane
Oh god that a ♿ and a half griff
As if it wasn't already good
I'm cucked into full ranged stacks
Think about all that crit
In my m+
With corrupted gear
Ele boomy fire mage and rsham
rsham 
Thats what I run 99% of the time
Literally every global is just gonna be a pyro from fire mages
Idk griff
Crit dmg is gonna be good, but the dmg proc are gonna be better in m+ I reckon
Yea but the more pyroblasts the fire mage gets the bigger the dot
This is my one speculation
my meme team is vdh arms hpal fmage and sin rogue
Fine tbh
meme team like 17-19
And it goes like this: corrupted gear killed every other mage spec besides fire
ive found that spec choice doesnt really matter until like 21ish?
Vdh is busted
from the 21 i tried at least
Just not competitive in damage compared to other tanks
Ye around those levels it kind of starts to matter
thats where the hpal came in
Below is literally a playground
Imo at this point blizz should just take all damage talents from tanks and just make them baseline and just play around with utility and different DR options in the talent tree
I'm more excited about the changes that come in pvp with those
Shield block as arms
Shattering throw
:pog:
I'd like to see talent trees be more focused around m+ and adding in different unique utility for it because there are a lot of rows that are completely irrelevant for raids
I can see that ye
@strong forum too bad they took away gear swapping in m+ so you can't taunt the boss and shield block an ability for the tank
One more bone headed move that should have never happened
But pepega casuals got mad that they didn't have io and blamed a min maxing thing that didn't have a huge impact on performance outside of legendaries
Oh no
Tyrannical hyrja 🤮
Still loved those dungeons far more than current dungeons though
dont worry soon we can deal with mechagon and realize how stupid it is
Seat but in Bfa
ITS A SEEEEAAATT
prenerf arcway 
looks like they did the tuning pass so we wont get straight COEN'd. some of the bosses got nerfed like 80% base so wont be awful m+
prenerf moroes 
Prenerf morose tyran griev 
its 19% cuz for once blizz thought it through, after you smacked the car for 10mil you dont wanna chew through another 10mil 30sec later when you can damage the bot
but tfw mechagon m0 is gonna be harder than +5
king mechagon however will have FUCKTON of HP in the big Bot
yup. that gigazap gonna hurt too
is raidbots APL for prot warrior accurate enough to sim DPS
Its written by @ionic fern
Yes it is - soon to be optimized for t25.
thank you!
That Mwahi guy cannot be trusted.
Same.
Hey there, can someone tell me how much you get back from scrapping crafted items ?
Which trinket of Jes' Howler and Vial of animated blood would be best in m+?
same ilvl?
cause if its at the same item level and you feel comfortable using vial correctly id go with that
if you're just gonna macro the on use onto Ava and forget about it, Jes
(If you just Macro Vial onto Ava the first GCD where its the juiciest ends up being wasted, so yo'ure supposed to manually use it right after you start ava)
hey im 423ilvl can i do +10-15 mythics or need more ilvl?
can you handle the content- yes
can you get into pug groups - no
or at least doubtful
^
For tanking M+ around keys of 15-20 is it better to run VoP or Lucid as major?
👍 thanks .
namely instances where yo'ure MASSIVELY pulling in above 20 keys, and you absolutely need 40s of back to back Ava to live
Thinking about returning to wow. Prot still looking strong for 8.3 m+?
yup
@strong forum ur doing 35k overall dps at the end of the dungon ?
so with so much solo play in this next patch and expansion im debating on sticking with my warrior and or going Dh my group that i play with we usually run mythics and they have a tendency to hop f for weeks or a month or two at a time so solo play and the lackf self heals make DH look better any advice?
Play whatever you find fun.
prot has plenty of self heals in solo content
so that shouldn't really be a detractor
I mean prot has plenty of self healing in solo
Fury has an absolute ton of survivability if you go that route
I don’t think you’ll be set back by picking Warrior if you’re worried about solo survivability
in 9.0 azerite gear and the essences will be gone
I wouldn’t worry too much about planning a main for Shadowlands just yet.
A; that doesn't really affect fury or prot's self sustain much at all
B; that affects everyone, so yeah?
And for all we know, specs could change drastically in the expansion and maybe everyone will be a self healing machine.
whats does azerite gear and essences have to deal with self-healing o.o
warriors self-healing in solo content comes from Victory Rush
which is baseline
what key i need to do to get 15 next week guys?
thx
Do they change K-value next reset 👀 or is it the reset after
when is patch
Has there been any data collected on impact of potion usage in M+?
In terms of unbridled vs strength, and for example average DPS increase per pack size
Probably been asked a million times by now, but how are the Nyalotha fights looking for prot? I heard there was a lot of magic damage
magic damage isn't inherently bad for prot, IP & your cds work well with any bursts of magic damage, the only thing that hurts is long dots that just shred through your IPs
a couple fights have those, but you should be fine playing prot in nyalotha
there's better choices obviouously but its never going to prevent you from killing bosses
@warm plinth halp i need an adult
too many earthquakes
also why is @oblique garnet blue
🤣
He’s a big boi
nim for mod
lol
