Vamp speed isn't gonna help you during the encounter itself, only when stuff is already dying aka when the pull is almost over.

#

Sure it's not half bad, but impassive and resounding win in every scenario cuz they contribute to your actual tankiness

You're an explosive

#

yo guys is there any reason why tanking the third boss in tos in the far left corner is a bad idea?

warm plinth
#

It's not, unless it's a higher key

#

It's a great strat for mediocre level keys in PUGs because you're guaranteeing the beam doesn't hit the boss

#

But on high keys, it's not a good idea because if the same person takes the beam multiple times, they can die.

hoary belfry

alright thanks

Corner strat 🤢

Hey I use that shit in PUGs all the time. I ain't tryin to coordinate half-monkeys to soak beams on a low key without voice Pepexecute

its bad strategy because it makes it very easy to reset stacks

Corner strat is to guarantee even braindead people are forced to soak, middle is for coordination and actual strategy

So I’ve kinda slept through the whole mythic + scene. I’m finding a whole lot of enjoyment in pushing keys, but I can’t help but always be disappointed in my performance even we push. I feel like I’m playing my class well, and know my strengths and weaknesses as well as my limits. Where I’m struggling, is missing the knowledge and experience to be a leader and I think knowing that is clouding my decision making/on the fly choices. Is tanking all about experience? Is there a good place to check out an in depth guide of the dungeons that will help tanking high keys? My friend is also playing resto shaman and a lot of people keep telling him to change if he wants to push keys, should we listen to that? Sorry if it seems a lot, I really want to do my best and improve any way I can.

warm plinth
#

Can you be more specific about what level of keys you're trying to attain?

#

Just that push keys/high keys doesn't mean the same to everyone.

modest dragon
#

My group is around 430-440. We don’t have a fantastic composition for mythic. Once we hit +10 we started falling off.

#

I’d like to time a 15 on each dungeon before 15 becomes kind of obsolete. For my own pride

tame garden
#

No need for your friend to reroll then

sick sentinel
#

at that level any class is viable, dont listen to people who tell you to reroll, they are simple looking at it from the perspective of cutting edge keys, which you're not doing so, shammy is fine

warm plinth
#

Your comp doesn't matter for 15s tbh.

tame garden
#

And yes experience is a huge part of both tanking and mythic plus

warm plinth
#

Like you probably don't want two long interrupts in your comp because of certain dungeons having interrupt requirements that make it needlessly harder, but that's about it.

tame garden
#

You just gotta spam all the dungeons and get familiar with each trash pack and their individual mechanics

warm plinth
#

And with a rsham you actually have a ton of interrupts so

modest dragon
#

Would spamming something like 5s through 9s help me familiarize myself enough to feel confident in 15s? Or should I try doing higher keys more often so I can get the feel for the dtps?

#

I guess knowing what I can pull starts to get hazy each key I go past 10.

mortal brook
#

awakened vs non-awakened is basically different dungeons

tame garden
#

If you can practice in 10s that would be better so you can practice the new affix

alpine shard
#

Just communicate good with your resto shaman and tell him when you are using cooldowns and he can do some insane ST damage.

modest dragon
#

I did my first few awakened last night. First one was underrot which went horribly, though I can’t take all the blame for that one.

#

I did notice improvements. I just lack the tanking experience to not feel a little nervous every time we put that keystone in.

#

Method dungeon tools is a huge help, without that I’d feel like an idiot at this point.

tame garden
#

Yeah just keep practicing. Were only 2 weeks into a very long tier so theres lots of time to learn. Dont worry about the depletes just focus on improving

#

The less you tilt and accept that some keys will deplete the better for your group

warm plinth
#

Yeah, and everyone is learning way different routes because of the obelisk mechanic

modest dragon
#

That’s understandable. I really appreciate the feedback. It’s hard to admit I’m not as good as I’d like to be but for whatever reason this time around I’m really looking forward to getting better & better.

sick sentinel
#

were you struggling with 10 keys in 8.2.5?

modest dragon
#

First time I’m really interested in mythic+ actually.

#

My dungeon count for the expansion is embarrassingly low, there’s still a lot of less obvious mechanics I’m still missing I’d imagine.

warm plinth
#

Well and remember that there are 4 other people in the group

#

Not every mistake falls on your shoulders

modest dragon
#

Actually that’s a good thing to bring up

jolly thistle
#

lowkeys don’t really help. Try to find a few reliable dps and keep playing together. Use marks for interrupts - you can assign them to each player (or call out each interrupt on coms but I wouldn’t recommend that if you’re new to tanking). If you want to keep pushing higher start logging your runs and check them afterwards.

warm plinth
#

Part of making a good key team is being able to point out mistakes and fix them in a constructive way

#

Just blame dps. If you die it’s most likely due to a missed interrupt anyway

warm plinth
#

Depends on what happened MaQt. There are definitely things that you'll do that cause deaths/wipes. But there are responsibilities on all members of the group.

#

Especially as a prot warrior, proper play contributes a lot to your group's success

#

You let shield block drop for a few seconds at the wrong time in a higher key and your survival is dumb luck or a healer burning the hell out of their mana to carry you

tame garden
#

Idk I have trouble blaming others. I always feel that I messed up in terms of survival or I messed up in terms of leadership. But sometimes it's just the healer didnt heal enough or dps being derps

#

Just gotta move on

warm plinth
#

But missed interrupts on the part of your DPS (or healer in your case), people not avoiding damage that is avoidable, things like that

#

All can contribute to a bad run

craggy harness
#

@tame garden do you react that way in real life too

modest dragon
#

That’s a huge help guys, this channel is fantastic.

tame garden
#

Yes

craggy harness
#

Not saying its an unreasonable thing, but its a good thing to know you're prone to

#

Sometimes you just have to take some time, and see what you are criticizing yourself over, make a good note of it, and if its unreasonable, then remember.

#

It's just a generally good trait to have that can sometimes get carried too far, like empathy

#

You aren't helping others by covering for their mistakes and keeping them unaware

warm plinth
#

Strongly suggest logging and recording all of your runs btw. Searching logs or rewatching yourself can make it a lot easier to notice your own mistakes

#

And maybe even mistakes on the part of your group members

modest dragon
#

That makes sense. It’s obvious I need the raw experience, just doing what I can meanwhile to facilitate it.

#

I was literally just about to ask that

#

So you can log dungeon runs

warm plinth
#

Yeah, strongly recommend Loggerhead

#

It's an addon that will ask you at the start of each instance if you want to log it, and then once you say yes to a particular one, it autologs that dungeon. So you can say no to heroic/regular mythic, and then yes (after keystone is put in and activated) to the "challenge mode" question, and it'll always log Mythic+ for that dungeon.

tame garden
#

ERT also does autologging

modest dragon
#

So Loggerhead for example

#

I’d upload them, or it’s completely in game?

warm plinth
#

You would upload them

#

Like I usually upload mine after we're done for the night

#

That way I can delete the combat log and not have it continuously building up; gets more confusing and harder to keep track of all your dungeons if you have a gigantic combatlog file haha

modest dragon
#

Haha that makes sense, that will definitely be interesting to take a look at. I guess I should have assumed you could log dungeon runs I just had not looked into it I suppose.

warm plinth
#

Yeah you can log literally anything, even a target dummy

modest dragon
#

Another huge help would be finding a regular 5th to run with. It kind of sucks having one person I can’t really communicate with

#

Even if their pumping.

#

My girlfriend and two buddies are catching hell getting a steady 5th haha.

How to improve when you know what has to get better, but you don't know how to do it properly though

#

Like, I know my shield block usage falls off sometimes, either due to bad rage management or getting caught up in a chaotic pull

#

Likewise, my demo shout uptime could be a lot better

tame garden
#

Perhaps make changes to your ui

#

So that these things are more prominent

warm plinth
#

If you know the issue, then practice. Changing how things are displayed helps me. Like some people are fine with using an icon for Shield Block, whereas I need a bar or it might as well be invisible

vocal skiff
#

I do have a shield block and IP weak aura almost at the center of my screen

craggy harness
#

I like noises to remind me when something comes up unexpectedly

#

your mileage may and will vary.

vocal skiff
#

I understand the need of practice, but there are always right and wrong ways to get that done

craggy harness
#

I think its one of those things, once you get to the point where time slows down (so to speak)

#

that you actually are aware of what you're doing rather than panicking

sick sentinel
#

Anyone can recommend a good Prot Warri on YT that also explains stuff?

craggy harness
#

then there's more time to observe and plan next few seconds

#

and take in account the things you know you should be doing better

#

Dunno. Probably just psychobabble gibberish

vocal skiff
#

I can definitely see that, but it's sort of a cycle. If you mess up, the likelihood that things will go south and you panick is higher, which hinders that process altogether

craggy harness
#

but that's how i kind of feel when i try to improve here, or in tennis

#

yeah, there'll be lapses

#

but less and less

warm plinth
#

I feel that. It’s easy to spiral yourself in dicey situations

Granted my shield is only 410, but whenever I am healing a decent tank, the difference in sustain is so big that it's embarassing lol

I was testing it in a fh15 just now (got twilight devastation on a belt from chest, have h wrathion sword). I believe you can mitigate the damage of thing from beyond with shield wall, IP, and spell reflect

So I gotta question - I know Necrotic affects shields, but does it affect the Edicts shield the same way? Or will it just get ate up so quickly that it doesnt matter anyways

yes

it affects edict and urchin

same as it affects priest shields

edict is kinda ok though cause it usually gets eaten before necro stacks get high

it hits urchin harder

i mean if you get edict refresh during necrotic

itll be affected just the same

urchin is more over time

if your edict gets eaten and refreshes
