so just go full balls haste and let crit drop off?
basically just sim for more dps
You go for highest ilevel. If that gives you more crit, cool. If it gives you more haste, also cool.
If you are doing irrelevant content and just want more damage, sim it
what if i want more mastery ghash
how do I keep my addon settings but delete everything else? just the settings not the addons?
I want to delete all my crap but keep my weak auras/macros ?
Well macros aren't addons, so as long as you don't touch the WTF folder, those won't be touched. And to keep WAs, just delete everything in the AddOns folder except WAs
i got what I needed I think, I just delete the entire WoW folder except WTF and reinstalled
but anywho Prot is absolutely
right now
Quick question to prove point, best defensive trinkets i should use for m+ ?
vita
big boi haste is more rage gen, block uptime, anger management feed for higher cd uptime
gore block or jes ?
Block
How would you guys rate jes?
poor.
10s uptime over 2 minutes
that's very low avg stat. dont give it more credit than it deserves cuz vers is a straight DR stat. all secondaries give defensiveness, and things like block, rezan's, vita, all give way more average stat
when your damage sucks in the dungeon cause you never got juicy TD procs
oh well
12 done in time
my DH really needs some weapons
what would the ideal essences for M+ be to make me seem "less squishy"? im 471 equipped and feel like im using mitigation well but i keep getting told that its my fault and not the healers
VoP major, sphere, CnS, and then you have some options for the third
if you need corruption resist, formless void is a good one
strength of the warden if you don't have formless void
is Sphere okay to use at r2? im close to rank 3 just havent dont much towards r3
same question for CnS
CnS you want rank 3
havent been doing much pvp lately ahah
okay
atm im using Anima Strength and Null Dyna for minors
anima basically a dead minor slot. when it'd be useful is when the stacks dissapear, and its a slow rampup back
between then its just extra bursting dmg taken
fair point i just liked having alot of HP ahah
ive heard good things about Agis of the deep
Aegis
solid choice yes
and would these options change the higher i go in keys?
im tryna push my io this week
with a healer from my guild i can trust i can probably do a 17 no sweat its just in pugs i cant seem to find a healer of the same caliber
not really until 20+ no
out of curiosity what would be the essence changes for a +20
can be memory major past 20
until then vop
and even then, its group and pull relevant to memory or not
oof guess no +20s for me ahah its the reason i dont play Arms anymore cbf doing r2-r3 Lucid
i know it was reduced but still getting only 1 companion level a day is agonising
bark?
https://www.wowhead.com/item=170184/ancient-reefwalker-bark 450 xp for a turnin
i only came back a month before 8.3 so alot of this stuff is new to me
well if youre just doing the quests it takes 48 days
wait nvm
48/3 and im bad at math
16 days
16 without xp turnins like the bark
weekly lockout on that item, but it'd knock out 3 days over 2 week
i think im a decent amount in idk ive just never been a fan of huge timegated things
i just ask for summons to dungeons ahah
6 days to revered
but thats time i can be doing keys
the last time i properly played was MoP so im used to just hitting max level and buying flying ahah
Would yall say a 460 vita or a 475 scale with socket. Paired with Psychic Shell
they didnt say what key level or content they were doing
vita is worth 5 ilvl over rezan/scale so the 475 will win there
incite the pack or bloodsport?
i'm not sure where that 5 ilvl worth comes from
cause it seems alot like feelycraft
especially when compared to scale
its been quoted a few times, no one seems to have said anything otherwise
happy to be proven wrong
can't really compare a 20%ish uptime on a big haste buff to a 50-60% uptime on a moderate one can you
they function differently
like i said, i havent done the math, its been quoted the past few months without any issues so you'd need to take it up with someone else, probably a stormforged or TC
I've never heard that saying
Only between scale and rezan
But not with vita
๐คทโโ๏ธ
Is thunderclap getting aoe capped in shadowlands ? Lol
also target capped FeelsBadMan
@left hatch thank you sir for the reply... Sorry i was busy with work and only just saw you reply.... have a good day and stay safe!
do we always want a +120str gem?
With the covenant abilities getting more details now which one looks better for us?
the banner most likely
for any progression content
or the execute buff if you're selfish/looking to parse whore in raid
Will Indomitable be competitive with Bolster now that is gives you 1% MHP heal per 10 rage
irrc they're on diff rows now
@left hatch how do you know that? ๐ฎ
ppl were talking about it yesterday
its in the long list of class changes
its now where Rumbling Earth is rn
what? a great survivability talent in the CC row?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Never Surrender starting at 40% still seems lackluster
I just miss my legendary bracers so much :T
and unless they rework how strong blokc is a 1% heal per 10 rage is very meh in comparison
AM no longer reduces Last Stand CD tho which is a bit of a drag.
indomitable for the big TDs 
which matters..... what in shadowlands with corruptio ngone
TD 
It's still worth it just reducing Avatar and SW?
Maybe HR to increase SB uptime to compensate for changing Bolster to Indo? one man can dream
depends if UC is totally out or just shifted around
fam you get to spam whitlwind as prot in shadowlands
Can't say for sure - it's still early and i'm not gonna go out of my way with numbers right now which are bound to change at any moment.
and execute
since something is "in its place" but doesn't say where/if its moving
LS getting out of AM is fine
same with UC
just whirlwind your sorrows away
theres something 'in its place' without saying where its moving too
and with HP no longer having any damage component at all, seems likely AM rn will still be the go-to m+ talent
since ravager is now not only shit but target capped
(:
They added "Multiple punishments may overlap." to Punish desc, what that means exactly?
the same way BFI buff works now
instead of refreshing the buff it stacks as multiple overlapping buffs that expire independently
Ironfur is another example of that
makes sense
It's still worth it just reducing Avatar and SW?
@lime wing at least SW will give us 50% now
I wonder which row they are going to put Booming Voice on. ๐ค
ITF is on Booming Voice Spot..and War Machine is in ITF spot.

could you hope it becomes baseline?
This is still the first class changes so everything can still change easily i wouldnt stress too much on them
stress more on rarted aoe cap and the covenant system, specifically that we can't respec
Idk im bored enough to level multiple of same class atm
neither am i lmao
would rather watch paint dry ngl
at least theres some catharsis there
Just don't pick the covenant before 2 weeks into mythic raid.
So after the first balance patch.
๐
Looks like prot warriors are getting heavily nerfed... thoughts on them for shadowlands guys?
Sorry, what?
Just read the shadowlands prot warrior changes and it looks like they're getting hit hard, what do you guys think about them?
i think its a playable spec :)
you're reading too much into something that's not meant to be read into
๐ค
I'm not sure how any of those are "hitting us hard".
Looked like damage numbers were being reduced alot as well as Vanguard & Demo Shout nerfs
demo shout isnt gonna hit hard
you don't know the context
Stuff like Last STand/Demo shout off of AM is not ideal i guess but other than that i diddn't see anything too horrible.
AM doesn't reduce demo cd and ITF and Booming voice are in the same row
i.e you don't know how numbers will look like when the squish happens
๐ค
As far as i understood
ITF went to BV place and War Machine went into ITF place.
BV was not mentioned anywhere.
nvm
Anyways - nothing too horrible imo for now. ๐คท
Just have to wait for other changes and more specifics in order to provide quality information.
I hope we are bad so that I can still play prot and have my raid team ask why
"why are you playing x" said someone that's not raiding top 50
"so i can cringe at those questions"
Are other tank classes having some of their mitigation nerfed? With talent changes it sounded like they were all getting new shiny shit. Why are we losing last stand and demo off AM? Just so they force us to pick other talents? >.>
They didn't have to screw with us, we were fine and fun to play D:
It's datamining, yeah lol
even during the last playable days of beta VDH looked to be the best tank for when BFA was about to launch
and then it wasnt
I just want to be hype, and when other people get new shiny and we get bat in the face it makes me want to do what I'm already doing and social distance and cry listening to linkin park songs ordering my food on click list and having amazon bring me wine
Yeah I remember going into bfa expecting to have a vdh in case warrior was bad haha
what do you mean we don't get new shiny stuff?
execute and WW being baseline is pretty big
reworking the revenge talent to buff its damage on free procs seems giga powerful on speed clearing low content
Is it though? I feel like I rarely used execute when we still had it
its a completely different game now
I mean on farm sure when sitting in rage and dying wasn't an issue
not to mention i dont recall prot having execute
Probably MoP? Was the last time
your only choice in execute will be between IP or Execute
and the only real 'hit' to our tankiness as of rn is LS not being impacted by anger management
and thats not a big deal
like, you will now have 2 rage spenders
at all
If we move off AM for the choice. No last stand to fill gaps and less demo uptime would be pretty noticeable in current content
current content.
something that means absolutely nothing
because these changes arn't for current content
its for however the damage profile/mob density etc is for shadowlands
and 60s last stand is still a very low cd
demo's strong suit isn't the DR either, its rage gen and offensive value
who the fuck knows
so less uptime isn't the end of hte world
nothing is set is stone, nothing to cry or hype about except the spells we're 100% getting
^ they had really fantastic tank balance this xpac
VDH getting fel dev and demonic is big HYPE
8months before the xpac releases*
and hell what if a legendary we get reduces the cd of DS by 1/2?
what if we get back legion bracers
well legion bracers is in indomitable
way too soon to start worrying about 1 talent change
We hope, if you can conjecture it's good for that damage profile it can go the opposite way too. So yes too early to tell but like nome just said I was hoping for that big hype moment reading the notes like other tank classes have
warrior's big hype was execute and WW
.>
if you don't feel that than idk what to tell you
we're inherently a great spec, not much to change besides getting hard locked into talents
which theyre playing around with currently
They're bringing back legion legendary stuff?
so you didnt read
lol
talent changes
indom will give you HP and heal based on rage spent
which is iirc and i pretty sure am, is legion bracers
might help to get a fully informed picture of the so far announced changes
before you go on a doom and gloom parade
and besides that talent change they're bringing back legendaries
and have already announced some of the effects will be a return of legion ones
the example given was mage bracers
Yes, I thought you meant actual physical let's get screwed by getting the wrong legendary 4 times in a row before you get thr good one
they will be craftable
^
and supposedly somewhat targetable or farmable via torghast
so you have more agency in it
and theres also always the potential of letting prot swap to 2-h while offtanking
since a lot of specs are getting weapon options
which brings back the prospect of a glad-stance lite
whichll make raid tanking MUCH more interesting and fun
honestly the bigger 'concern' to worry about rn with the announced changes
is that we could lose UC
one of the talents is going to be in its slot and it didn't mention where it was moving too
and unlike BV it doens't have an updated talent line
to ensure its still in
but even that isn't the end of the world, well have plenty of fun toys
and no matter what prot will still be viable to do all content, even if were not the kings of M+ for a 4th season in a row
its ok to not be op for awhile lol
UC?
sorry UF
K yeah
I was just sharing I didnt get the same hype as reading the other tank notes and felt we play really well right now so I hope they don't fuck it up
I've participates in many alpha and beta cycles to know it's still early :-P
meh even if they do fuck it up
theres 5 other tank specs
to migrate to
and its doubtful they'll completely ruin the spec to the point you need to swap
But I've been prot since vanilla :(
if you really love warrior
Tbh it would be very hard for them to mess up any tank to the point itโs unplayable
From where they are at now anyway
it's pretty interesting that you say that morrison
i was just talking with some people the other day about the whole class vs. spec thing
anybody feel free to jump in, but I rarely want to play a "Warrior"
I often want to play a role
oh im the same way
I don't have to adapt to @outer dew because he's perfect for me already โค๏ธ
but some ppl are really dogmatic about their class
and that statement was made to chewy because hes always been a warrior
hence that strong sence of class AND role identity
@warm plinth the only adaption we're getting is a movie adaption for our love story ๐ฅบ
๐
tbh im not even tied down to a role i jsut wanna have fun with my buds lol
Prot is going to have execute it already cant be fucked up
everything else is just a means to that end
Ez clap
I wonder how whirlwind will end up in the rotation tbh
Now that clap will hit only 8 targets
Since it'll be baseline
๐
prolly TC - WW - WW
ye as filler for TC i reckon
and revenge only when proc is up
im sure theres a breakpoint of like... 2 targets SS will still have prio or something
I'm glad that we'll actually have other filler besides fucking devastate
mmmm imagine if WW has more base damage than deva
or deva might even be a meta pick for M+ since you now have no empty gcds with WW
I'm fine with devastator if I have something else to press. Empty GCDs feel like shit to me
^ this
and target capping + no benefit from AM is gonna make BV way less ahead of it on aoe
No benefit from AM?
That's kinda dumb
Like actually dumb
I'm also not sure that target cap of 8 for TC is the move tbh
nobody is
Prot pally might actually be the kings of AoE with current changes
except blizzords "lets prevent MDI pulls"
Which is a stupid problem to address
fun detected
That's the whole point of the MDI is to watch people do crazy shit
well even outside of MDI them wanitng ppl to stop mass pulling
why is that fun
whats the fun value of artifically padding out dungeon timers by restricting pulls because of a target cap
vs.... interrupts/stuns/healer and tank skill
Tbh that's the thing that made BFA dungeons worse than Legion to me was them trying to control the way the player played
to streamline their game to a competetive level instead of letting people play for fun
How sad would it be if you log into SL and go to a M+ dungeon and it has a 58 minute timer or some shit ๐
How sad would it be
how sad would it be if they made mobs even harder cuz you cant pull as many anyway.
ever think about that
If managed to get a +23 key undergeared
eh the annoyin gpart in mobs is the need for interrupts really restricts what classes you c an bring together
you can't have a 3 caster group in shrine
Honestly go back to Legion M+ design where they didn't really care
you can make hard/interesting trash without just htrowing in packs that need 3 melee interrupts
imagine letting players naturally adapt and work out unexpected strats for the content you lay out
and not panic nerfing/patching anything that deviates how they think the game should be played
imagine if ... any other dev had that mindset about speedrunning lol
Does anyone have a link to the spell reflect spreadsheet? I couldnโt find it in the pins
its in guides-resources-faq
Oh thank you
Why are we talking about this in prot? When it involves SL? On another note warrior right now is great
because it also is specifically about prot
Tbh if they wanted to prevent MDI type pulls one easy way to do that would be to actually not have us increase tenfold in power from the first raid tier
eh power creep is always gonna be a thing
cause they need to make gear upgrades impactful
Also did I miss something I thought they werenโt capping Tc targets
Just reduced damage to secondary targets
You can have impactful gear upgrades without huge power creep
Gear in general just needs to not be so convoluted tbh
Part of me wonders how good sub would be for m+ if they didn't nerf it because they made a dumb fight in Uldir
Like imagine MDI with pre nerf sub rogue and unholy DK
The pulls you'd see going into bosses would be insane
So I'm new to prot, and got a few questions for tanking in m+
Do I just pop my shield blocks on cd?
Shield block should be used whenever you are actively tanking something
do you think BoM should be baseline in shadowlands?
it feels pretty essential at this point
and it really works well with the opener
Hey guys for prot, all we really care about is 3 bastion of might correct?
i mean turning avatar into a defensive as well
Deva now competes with Best served cold and Dragon Rawr
tho Cracklin gThunder and Never Surrender are now on 2 lines so, grain of salt
man this stuff gives me anxiety
no reason for it to
first time going into a new expac lol
its a datamine of the first pass
and even if this is how its rolled out it doesn't gut the class at all
yeah, that is true. i guess ive listened to too many horror stories
"bro they broke my class"
damn, Crackling thunder in 2 rows ๐
most horror stories are whiny ppl that can't deal with change
for giga range TC
they enjoy being FOTM and wanna hold onto being op
tbh i might be playing rogue next expansion
and arn't able to adapt
idk
can anyone explain
IP boutta be so big
why TD procs 10x more often on my bdk
rng
more haste?
thicc IP who cares about the 12s CD
also does anyone know why it is on a 12s CD in those notes?
seems strange
cuz Blizzard made it so BDK procs TD more often cuz their dmg doesnt exist otherwise
/s
like
i do 5 masks without using an orb on bdk
i can't even fucking clear on war
bc zero procs ever
:doubt:
that is a different issue there
yah... your ability to clear visions shouldn't be tied to TD
you could go in with 0 corruption and clear
TD has 12 sec ICD in PvP
idk how to clear rexxar with 0 td 0 gift procs
Slowly
hero on pull, kill boars
the strat is to kill the dogs
i was trying
gift you need to make sure the internal cd is up
and keep them locked
otherwise you won't proc it
Even on DH, I go in and just DPS slow and kill the pets as they come out
well then you played wrong
It makes it brain dead
you know they spawn 1 at a time
Yeah the pets are based on his HP
so, kill them 1 at a time
i just wait maybe 20s for gift to be back up, kill 1st boar and then zerg him
i always wait for gift to reset, then pop lust on pull
Sometimes Gift is a bitch; that's why I take it slow unless I get a proc
after fear, they're everywhere
Because you don't want to rush it and have a bunch of adds and nothing to protect you
Yep, ez game
stop clapping
since no procs lul
Yeah, just go full ST on the pets as they come out
even with hero and 250% haste
And you won't have multiples at the same time
it do be like that
๐คทโโ๏ธ
just kill the boar, get proc off of 1st or 2nd
and spam his ass
done
My fave is when gift ICD is ready when I go in
And I proc Gift when Rexxar dies ๐
dude
or that
that is the strat
It's super awesome
lol
Oh also, I had something funny happen to me today
You know the totems that yeet you back to the start?
dude when you are running back to the little wind thing to go back, no sanity loss
big pog
I was in one of the corrupted zones on an alt (can only clear one side area)
And I had scorched feet proc as the totem started to throw me
And I ended up only going like 10 feet ๐
Had to re-click the totem
oh this guy got the yeet
ive noticed some strange things with the scorch feet
Perfect time to get disoriented
hey guys
like my leap gets canceled
Yeah
yes
grappling hook gets canceled
how the hell do you spell cancelled
its GIGA annoying
Or worse, when you have bugs and scorched
as far as azerite traits go, we just want 3 Bastion of Might and nothing else matters?
bro my mage just blinks through that shit
And you jump, but move a bit in air and scorched procs
so you couldn't BD
But the bugs don't clear
1x DC 3x Bom @edgy bone
ye
and 'nothing else matters' is selling other traits a bit short
OP, UF, RP, IV, MS, CH, HoD all matter
they're just not needed
@chrome palm avatar even without BoM has defensive value simply in just how much extra rage you generate
And you dont really pop avatar defensively
not to mention the best defensive in the game is making the enemy ded
If theres any prot trait that could be argued to become baseline or a talent it would be DC tbh
I'd like to see it as a talent in its pre nerf capacity
and it fills the niche of 'more DS uptime' thats open now that AM doesn't reduce its cd
and tbh no trait in game
or talent for that matter
is "essential"
because shit is going to scaled around the lack of it if its gone
True
my favorite part about scorched is on monks, if you whirling dragon punch with scorched feet, it procs and throws you in some random direction.
fuckin ridiculous
but you could move to proc it on purpose then wdp so you dont go anywhere right
Tbh scorched feet is just annoying
I dont think it actually adds anything you have to think about
it's hard to tell when it's actually going to go off, so running around to proc it sucks on wdp when it's a time based ability. It's not too bad, it's just annoying to deal with is all
it procs on movement
theres a WA that tells you exactly when its going to go off
and you have a pretty good idea of when its going to just by looking at it
Imo it's not hard to really know when it's going to go off
I've had fire all over and had to run for a solid 5 seconds
or gone through a whole heroic leap without it going off despite starting on fire
gonna have to take a look into that weak aura
There's a WA that will tell you when it's about to proc
Oh I didn't read everything
Sorry Yasuri ๐
Anyone know what Haste % I should be aiming for?
But yeah, WDP apparently reads to scorched feet as if you're going slightly backward, so it will jump you whatever is "backwards" from where you're facing
And you would know that if you checked #268491842637660160 ๐
wait why wouldnt you pop avatar as a defensive?
it provides and insane amount of mastery
that's IP and block increases
yeah for sure
i meant WRT getting BoM baseline
idk i think it'd be really nice to have
maybe not the enormous mastery values we have now
but at least the IP and some mastery
But the point is you use it as often as possible you dont delay
baseline IP is on 12 second cooldown
how is that supposed to work?
cooldown reduced by 11 seconds if youre prot
oh so it works identical to today?
pretty much
they have a number of changes that seem like nerfs but will have no change by the time you hit max level
like what
then you read into it and realize that they're breaking up spells to have tiered bonus' that unlock as you level and by hte time you hit 50 itll perform as it does now
like Blood Boil only has one charge initially and you unlock the other as you level
or Blade dance has a base 15s CD but tier 2 will reduce it to 9s
which is the current one
they get rune tap baseline too
vita+rezan 
Really????
good
I use torment in a jar + dragonscale now
im using vita+rezan, and swapping rezan to LSP if i need it
yeah
nice
LPS*
since everything is so situational there really isn't a BiS
Well I want that rezan + vita man
Itโs an exclusive club
if you absolutely need an abrosb to survive 1-shots every min then nzoth trink
if not than rezat+vita+block+scale
ill allow it, hawgz
some combo of that
What about torment in case you want to pull things through the floor and walls in TD
A great choice in the situation I described :^)
so those trinks will just get better and better as our corruption budget increases
where torment will remain (relatively) static
vita+scale an overkill? i dont have the nzoth trinket..
not at all
never enough haste
we need SL channels by spec now please, because i wanna talk about how awful prot is shaping up to be already
in fact its preferable to nzoth unless you're around the +20 range
that's good to hear thanks

Where is the emote for vita+rezan gang

I need the gleaming eye emote

+ ๐ = 
y e s
Excellent
I see only this picture when I think of vita rezan
uhu gosh
475 Rezan from my first 15+ weekly chest was mad about it because I alrdy had vita . turns out it was op for prot ๐

would you rather run r3 TD or r2 and some vers/haste procs ?
full TD
sim it
obviously td will sim hihger
just like 1000 or 1200 haste procs may be more usefull throught whole key
not really
unless you're above 20 keys you dont need corruption to augment survivability
its impact is minimal
and by the time you get to 23/24's youd be stacking verse corruption
not haste
im just tanking some 14's by now trying to learn how to do it properly before I ruin higher keys ๐
well properly for 15's
is worlds apart from properly for 20_'s
like the strats they do there are to answer specific issues you wont encounter till you get there
20+ is where it becomes a little bit of a fiesta
so until the 20 range just stack w/e gives you the most dps
Allright, so sim for 1 target 3 min , 5 targets 1,5 and 3 targets 1,5 ?and figure out whats best ?
I will probably have to choose between gushing wound and verse proc on wrist
hard to say cause GW is very good
but verse becomes better and better the more TD you have
got it last week form wrathion so pogchamp
ON THE BRACERS
yup
are you ok mate?
you talkiing about raid or m+ right now ?
New to prot warrior, and have a generally โsillyโ question... But what are the top 3-4 โgo toโ trinkets when tanking m+ versus M Nyโa?
kill pull shadhar 900k dmg wipe pull 1,2mil dmg on like 40% of his hp another rng effect ๐
+ ๐๏ธ = 
Nzoth trinket too

but you don't take enough damage to make it worth it lol
You are pretty much invincible during it
its essentially an empty slot
you do'nt need a baller healer in 15's
tell that to all the groups who failed 15s last week
Becoming invincible as a warrior during those fuck ups frees the healer to heal the others
or any week
quick question: why use Formless Void instead of SotW?
its more likely they have gameplay issues then
if you have CoF major in group, its a lot of statswith high uptime
and are blaming healers when they're making tons of mistakes themselves
@left hatch and? you're missing the point, not everyone is a great player and that trinket is a strong defensive option
im not
Itโs a divine shield on a 1 minute cool down!
its not exactly that mate
i disagree
and advocating it as "lul become invuln when you need it"
it's great for oh shit moments as well
we stop damage before it comes
You do not have to use it as a reactive though
i'm very aware how to play prot, my point is that setting the threshold at 20+ is disingenuous
Itโs like having a second better shield wall
but saying its a 'god tier trinket'
its not strictly better than shield wall
Can use during shield block downtime
as far as defensively goes, it sure is
But it is god tier
which is what he asked?!?!
full stop
While on the topic of trinkets... Any thoughts on Jes Howler?
for you*
jes is ok
Jes howler literal poop
no its not
Lollllw
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
but its not amazing
I appreciate everyoneโs feedback by the way!
Howler is a decent trinket.
started a real argument here xD
Yeah, no kidding
Itโs like I literally threw fish food into the pond, and things just went nuts.
Howler is once every 2 min, buffs whole party and verse is good
some people fail to understand that not everyone is a top level player and believe it or not, 15s can be REALLY hard for people
its stat budget is pretty low in comparison
just like the guy yesterday said dungeon slice is good sim choice ๐
But, I think because itโs long cool down and the fact that youโd rather have haste makes it not great
^
thats why its ok, but not poop
@prisma crane I understand your thought there. Iโm asking for input in 15+. If Iโm not doing 15+โs on my toons, Iโm not happy.
but those same ppl are ppl holding it for oh shit buttons
High ilevel haste trinkets probably will give you the most well rounded offense/defense
which you get more value out of something like rezan. defensively.
than sitting on a cd you only use on oh shit moments
its better to inform people of where its strong
But... the nzoth trinket will save you from some seedy situations/pulls in a way no other trinket can
and help them either get to a point where they're planning around it
or dont need it
like brollikk plans around using it
its great for him
but if your avg joe doesn't know when to use it, or is popping it once every 10m
hell be better off with say vita
I use it right after going into the fear/spider pillar
I definitely see the โoh shitโ usefulness of LPS from Nโzoth; but isnโt the point of a good prot warrior to be able to cycle IP with Avatar efficiently to avoid needing LPS?
And to kite when appropriate?
Bc my healer usually isnโt on discord and I wanna get aggro early during my carries lolllllw
you dont take damage instantly with fear guy, the dangerous part is the stacking "bleed"
So the first 2.5 seconds you use the trinket are wasted? ๐ค
the point is to learn dungeons to mitigate/eliminate oh shit buttons
Yes I get aggro in them
^
or at least use it on CD
Agreed @left hatch, makes sense
Also, sometimes on hero breaker spirit breaker I use it before it hits if Iโm not kiting anymore
Shadow of zuul, itโs amazing for like 2 hits
same
but 2 hits also isn't make or break tbh
Is the damage mitigation of LSP increased with any stat? Or just a flat absorption based on iLvl of the trinket?
verse
But it buys me some recovery time for other cds to come back like spell reflect
like i said
if you're planning around it, and use it on cd
its god tier
do you need it for your level of content? no
Mother lode 3rd boss also good for the chemical burn when you canโt reflect it
Like on high tyrannical
Ok guys, can I send you my sims in like 30 minutes and yo help me decide what should be most optimal for me since im trash as prot right now ?
Same for wasting strike on waycrest manor boss when reflect is down
but its a really bad option if you just sit on it
you can kite him to reflect every one
^
you have to double intercept but
you should if its that high of a key that you need something to live it
True Iโve seen naowh do that
yah ig thats what it comes down to
if you NEED it
go for it
if you don't you get more outta a haste trink
i agree
same mentality of lucid major
I donโt have a 475 vita also take that into consideration lol
I'd rather use Maut trinket for Zul but every his preference
460 vs 475 vita is very close
Maut trinket is too long of a cd
like, VERY close
maut is shit
Use a normal vita
maut is poop
ilgy and?
i guess
but you also wouldn't run a scuffed trinket the entire dungeon just for 1 miniboss
Shouldnโt need maut trink for ilgynoth
when you can just kite
At all
yeah exactly
when you kite zul is it just across the bridge back the way you came?
yah you jsut run back
and max range his cast
can get sketch if you partial clear the bridge
Droptimzer says 475 vita is only 0.2 upgrade
guys, how is best to organize corruption on N'zoth? to get corrupted and get most out of damage buff?
in last phase
droptimizer in my experience is kinda funky
it was telling me all az gear at 475 was only like a .1% upgrade on my havoc when i had 460's and 445's
so iv stopped using it in favor of finding the item's id code and manually adding it to simc string
and making top gear thinking i have that shit in bag
(seems like more work than gear compare but it lets you sim out many many more combinations than recreating each set in compare)
are you talking heroic or mythic nzoth?
cause can't help you with mythic
Jes howlers is pretty bad
notorious medallion is far better even at a vast ilvl drop
Lasts longer, more stats than jes when 5 manning content
A 455 gives me 200 more vers than a 465 jes howlers for 8 more seconds and thats baseline
waaait is glimpse of clarity a thing for prot?
is that the "next spell reduced cd" or the "cds come back faster for a bit" one
i mix the 2 up
next spell reduced by 3s
I will send sims beecause it sims hgihest
id ignore that because its likely using it all on SS or TC
and realistically you're gonna accidentally mash something else
not realizing you have a proc
yea probably taht
with that many options (particularly diff az pieces and essences being simmed) its hard to make a comparison
usually i find where the top simming aoe set is in the other 2 sims and compare how much of a loss it is
and vice versa
and be like 'oh this is a 5% increase in aoe at the expense of only... .4% st thats 100% worth it (:'
but the essences are muddling the list so i can't find it for you haha
idk if I got an anwser earlier, if so, sorry, but, why use Formless Void instead of SotW?
(using VoP major, with survivability in mind)
SoTW has pretty negligible value, yo'ure basically using it as a resistance essence because its better than nothing
Formless void IF you can get high uptime on it is very strong
gives you a bunch of mainstat (translates into armor and bigger IP) as well as haste
formless is the superior choice if you can get uptime, because mainstat and haste are solid and warden often just overheals. if there's no cof users and a bunch of vop users, then yeah use warden cuz you wont see formless uptime
which flat stats are much much stronger than an inconsistent and rather small heal that you have 0 control over
(using VoP major, with survivability in mind)
@lime wing so, with that in mind, what essences to use? I am currently running VoP, Lucid, Null and Aegis (as I don't need corruption resistance)
VoP, CnS, Lucid, Sphere
Aegis and Null can be strong, but are situational and kinda niche
Aegis you have to play around by mass pulling and staying in combat with 6+ targets
Null doesn't really shine outside raid till you get to high content because the dps component doesn't scale well into aoe and you don't consume it regularly, and the shield isn't going to save you
Sphere r1 is enough
and over aegis and null id use CnS r2 over them as well
k, I will work on getting those to rank 3
You gain virtually nothing from Sphere by ranking it up
though on the upside, you'll unlock BotE for alts if you do rank it up lol
BiS fury essence
if I happen to need corruption resistance which one should I replace? sphere?
yeh sphere
is r2 warden good or should i pick something else till i get r3
its fine if you need the resistance
warden is just the next best thing to an empty slot
so any rank works
r3 is pretty unnoticable until like, a 5k overkill
I need 3 battlefiend furor to get CnS rank 3, if I get to 1400 this week I well get 3 by this reset or next one?
kk
quick one boys, Twisted Appendages rank 2 or Racing Pulse Rank 2? both 35 corruption
hey guys. does any1 of you have some knowledge to spare and help me with finding a tank add on that shows ppls dps CD in dungeons and cc CD like big aoe stun etc.
should i use the one with Mastery? It sims 0.3% lower DPS on 3 boss patchwerk (no lust)
@haughty depot that's zentracker
servant splitter is very good
oh really?
ilvl is important for weapon
https://wago.io/Bk-w0OR3Q Here's the WA that shows them (icons next to party frames)
https://wago.io/r14U746B7 is required for the first one to work.
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/libgroupinspect Here's the addon needed to make the second WA work
even without secondaries?
yeah
@sweet summit they have same ilvl
@haughty depot
yes?
See my previous message
ok ty
ty for help
also the weakaura for adding spell reflect to details is hilarious
on shrine of the storm im owning
it keeps sayin not found O.o
What's not found
new warrior
Did you install the addon and the other WA?
lol oops....im a new warrior tank and i need some help if anyone has a little bit
@warm plinth warrior will support wowA from the start of shadowlands :pog:
Did you get Alpha my friend?
HELL NO
๐ข
But I'mma get beta or else 
I didn't either; I take too many extended breaks ๐
Plus I don't ever participate in the betas that I'm invited to, so I'm not exactly a worthwhile addition to the alpha servers ๐
ok ive set up the def cd interrups and exernals
how do i get the offensive cd icons for dps
Should be able to enable them in the custom options of the nnogga's WA
The spell registration part
im so new to this i cant find what you talking about
If you click on the Nnogga's WA group, there should be a tab on the top of the right side of the window that says Custom Options
In there if you click the arrow to expand the section, there should be a Spell Registration section
And in there are checkboxes for different spells. Just check the ones you want included
when's prot alpha channel
Not sure there is a answer other than more TD but what else corruption is good for m+ 16-20 range
ty
GW, TA, EV all decent options
is the haste or nature damage bit band better?
Haste? Nature dmg is just dmg. Haste helps with all
/r k
A WA that yells when you use Spell Reflect in case your allies are overly-protective and kick casts you wanted to spell
470 with sockets > 475?
depends on slot
belt/pant slol
Why is there even a WA for that? You can literally just make a macro that yells when you press the button ๐ค
asking b/c blacksmithing
slot is always worht more than 5 ilvls no?
not always
Its worth usually ilvls and on rings like 25
when is it not the case
idk if its worth it on pants, pants are pretty big compared to the rest
i just feel like 50 of your best stat is worth a lot, on some classes stat weights are mega skewed
