KR on tyr is fine

Why stop at 3 prot pallys

Just go with a 5 man prot pally key group

Nothing gets cast

#

Trying to make a switch from Guardian druid to prot warrior not really doing high keys but i've been tanking 18-20s on the bear. Warriors quite a bit behind all around gear wise/stat wise/cloaks quite a bit behind

chilly brook
#

@strong forum "some voices are more important and need to be heard"

bitter cape
#

But man, this shit feels so much more complex lol

cosmic coral
#

it isnt

#

just have shield block up

#

is the main thing

strong forum
#

well it is more complex than bear

bitter cape
#

Like, I've got barely any sort of self healing when looking at that amount of healing i'm doing I assume thats partially bad usage or not enough usage of ignore pain?

trail dome
strong forum
#

you dont heal as warrior

loud shoal
#

πŸ‘

strong forum
#

you midigate dmg before you take it

#

you dont take alot of dmg, you dont heal it

cosmic coral
#

well, if you have bad gear then its prolly that, p sure you need 3x bastion of might for ignore pain to be decent, i could be wrong there tho

chilly brook
#

RIP screenshot got messed up

strong forum
#

IP is a rage dump and dmg smoother, you need to use everything beforehand, if you already took dmg you cant do anything about it

#

you just need a different approach to tanking stuff than a self healing tank that takes more dmg

still pagoda
#

@trail dome i'm yet to get to 20's and you're showing me this

bitter cape
#

So I just need to put the reps in on the warrior πŸ˜‚

strong forum
#

ehrps of a warrior is lower than other tanks, but it doesnt show on hps meter

#

alot of people seem to think a tank has to selfheal

bitter cape
#

Yeah, i think the lack of self heals is what i'm struggling with in general

sweet summit
#

Embrace it

cosmic coral
#

just mitigate all the dmg and you wont have to heal yep

strong forum
#

you dont need self healing when you take 80% less dmg

#

bitter cape
#

So when you if you run out of sbs/cds its time to just kite as a warrior?

cosmic coral
#

last stand when you run out shield blocks

#

get more haste, thats a gear thing p sure, i dont think ive ever run out of shieldblocks/last stands

loud shoal
#

really just make sure you have block up all the time, remember with bolster last stand provides shield block, and yea when you have a gap you can ask for an external or kite

chilly brook
#

When you run out of CDs you have block again

#

Also I wouldn't shield block when you have shield wall rolling tbh

cosmic coral
#

yea pretty sure you have like more than a min of cds b4 you have to start kiting

loud shoal
#

shield wall sometimes isn't enough on it's own depending on what you're tanking

chilly brook
#

Cuz shield wall is essentially a baseline block reduction anyways

sweet summit
#

sometimes i do griff

cosmic coral
#

and when u do kite, itll be like 2 seconds b4 u have hsield block up again

chilly brook
#

There are exceptions yes @sweet summit @loud shoal

bitter cape
#

Okay - sounds like its just a bit more planning than I'm used to doing as a bear

sweet summit
#

Kinda?

cosmic coral
#

is shield wall really a baseline block reduction? Ive been having trouble finding a spot to put it in keys since I really dont take any dmg

chilly brook
#

Shield wall is 40% DR

sweet summit
#

Also, avatar if you have 3x BoM is an insane defensive AND offensive cooldown

#

So dont sit on it for too long

chilly brook
#

Regular blocks float around that much of a DR

#

Depending on K value and your shield that is

bitter cape
#

I think another issue i've had is being scared to use my cooldowns forgetting they come up more frequently because of anger management

cosmic coral
#

K value?

loud shoal
#

when you have avatar/demo shout and shield block up you're basically invincible

sweet summit
#

Demo shout and avatar should be used on CD unless the pack is dead already

warm plinth
#

475 shield is like...43?% damage reduction iirc in M+ or 45

sweet summit
#

And then you have crit blocks

warm plinth
#

Assuming no IF or BfI ofc

chilly brook
#

K value is behind the scenes tuning to keep block and other tank mechanics from scaling out of control @cosmic coral

cosmic coral
#

i just started tanking 2 weeks ago and only have a 460 shield 😦

loud shoal
#

yea what rosjen said, Ideally you want avatar up at the start of a pull, so if one is close to dying and avatar comes up i'd hold it for next pull

sweet summit
#

Man, crit block is bonkers

warm plinth
#

So you're probably right about 40%

#

With a 460 shield

#

Or slightly lower

chilly brook
#

Its how we've essentially stayed the same in terms of block DR even though our block value has skyrocketed since beginning of expansion

strong forum
#

you rarely ever kite as warrior

#

only in very specific scenarios

chilly brook
#

If it didn't exist we'd actually be broken

warm plinth
#

If you run out of mitigation, you face tank anyway and die on the field with some honor

sweet summit
#

Ive said it before and ill say it again

#

Id rather die than kite

#

Cba

cosmic coral
#

they should remove k value or w/e so i can finally live my true warrior fantasy

warm plinth
#

Ask Hawgz, I'm a pro at that

#

πŸ˜‚

bitter cape
#

lol

warm plinth
#

Or Griff

chilly brook
#

Nah K value has actually been a really good thing

strong forum
#

K value is to stop tanks scaling infinitely

#

and be immune to damage

sweet summit
#

What %DR is armor cap?

cosmic coral
#

warriors should be immune to damage

strong forum
#

its a hidden value to balance out dmg intake

modern brook
#

Why?

warm plinth
#

85% is the armor DR cap

cosmic coral
#

make any extra dmg reduction turn into magic reduction

warm plinth
#

It's also the blocking reduction cap

modern brook
#

Were not a baby spec like brewmaster

chilly brook
#

It's been one of the things that has kept all tanks so close tbh

sweet summit
#

Yeah, cheers

cosmic coral
#

this is my first time hearing of k value, sounds kinda dumb honestly, i understand it, but how can i determine how big of an upgrade something is if itll just get reduced and not be of a benefit at a certain point

strong forum
#

K value has been around forever

warm plinth
#

If you search k value on wowhead, there's an article about it

#

It's not a new thing at all

strong forum
#

for several expansions

warm plinth
#

The important thing is that if you get a higher ilevel shield, you equip it

cosmic coral
#

all ive ever done is healed and dps'd, i dont enjoy tanking all that mcuh

strong forum
#

if not for all of wow even

warm plinth
#

There's no reason to think much into it

strong forum
#

ye its not smth you actually concentrate on

loud shoal
#

I'd rather dps in keys, but no one wants a warrior sadFace

warm plinth

It doesn't change how you play or anything like that

sweet summit

dpsing in keys is 1000x more comfy

@loud shoal literally why i started tanking

sweet summit

is that bounding stride I see?

warm plinth

i play bounding often aswell, people overvalue CT

i exclusively play sg lol

warm plinth
#

I've never really had a situation where I was like man I wish my TC was bigger

#

But yeah I do run Safeguard sometimes

strong forum
#

only when playing CnS Major it can make a difference

warm plinth
#

Yeah, makes sense

strong forum
#

outside of that, no fucking way

#

8 yards radius is already massive

loud shoal
#

I think CT is quite useful when you're gathering

cosmic coral
#

12 yds is massiver

chilly brook
#

CT is ok but like

strong forum
#

12 yards is smaller than aggro range

chilly brook
#

Most of the time you REALLY dont need the range

strong forum
#

so.

#

πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

cosmic coral
#

I wanna run SG

strong forum
#

its only a QoL thing mostly

limpid pawn
#

In terms of min maxing

chilly brook
#

BS imo is universally more useful

sweet summit
#

most of the time you dont need BS or SG either tbf

cosmic coral
#

but then that would make my healer notice im running it and i will have to do xtra stuff

limpid pawn
#

I think if you’re not jumping on cool down

strong forum
#

but in actual combat it doesnt do anything outside of cns major kiting TD beach

limpid pawn
#

Or rather - jumping a lot

#

Then you should take sg or the clap one

strong forum
#

ever since Cata, when heroic leap got the movement speed buff on landing im addicted to it

chilly brook
#

Increased mobility is almost always more useful

warm plinth
#

Yeah I love bounding stride and I miss it when I don't run it

chilly brook
#

It's kinda like why Venthyr is gonna be insane

sweet summit
#

only place id like to take BS is underrot, but i need SG for underrot so i cant take it pepsihands

was TD1/TD2 available on rotation already?

TD2 ye

TD2

chilly brook

TD 2 was last week

cosmic coral
#

how much will TD1 cost?

chilly brook
#

I assume 5k

strong forum
#

UR is coincidentally a dungeon where i want CT cuz of cns major for the blood swarmers

chilly brook
#

Since TD2 was 10k and TD3 is going to be 15k

sweet summit

hibernate yep

cosmic coral

prolly a bit more than 5k since its 25 and rank 3s are 20 for 5k

TD3 is 15k

WAAAAAY better

like how much mitigation am i missing out by not having a 475

like 15% id say

61.47% of block mitigation with 475 shield

Well, that's in open world though

#

Not in M+

still pagoda

ye

but for comparative

warm plinth

In M+ it'd be like

39ish probably for a 460

And 43-45 or something for a 475

For regular blocks ofc

thats still really big 😦

Yeah shield is huge

defensively probably

Two weeks ago my prot pally got a 475 shield.

hod is more of offensive trait, IF would be more defensive, especially if you dont have a 475 shield

so up to you

warm plinth

Yeah don't sleep on IF or BFI when your shield is low. They're huge

oh shit, i actually got some shoulders with bastion of might and bfi

I got arterial protection chest this week yep

you can prolly drop the IF for hod if youre running bfi tbh

when it says it stacks, does that mean it resets and stacks, or just stacks until it runs out, or do they stack separately

you can average 2-3 stacks at a time

haste

strong forum

secondary stats tend to scale better this late into the expac, but running a str gem isnt bad by any means

ye you often forget to cast demo for a couple seconds, you could intervene your mates a bit more, sometimes you press revenge over SS, sometimes press IP over SB and then cant use SB when you tried pressing it

should i spam IP if i see Demo shout is boutta come off

well, i mean they dont have a consistent group so i can understand why they're staying around 4k, or maybe they're hard stuck idk

well the tnak isnt very good, like i said earlier at like 9 am, i pusehd with the tank and he takes way too mcuh dmg and doesnt call for externals and doesnt communicate

he kinda goes auto and just hopes to have more dps that run

if that makes sense

Dps and healers can be harder carried than tanks, but until 4k you can get carried as tank if your group is better than you

If you are uncomfortable tanking or playing the class, they are going to be harder because you are more likely to make mistakes

It's more experience and being comfortable

tank buster tickles even in 20s

@rugged orchid mainly for high keys with full vers builds. It can be nice in some areas to root and kite, but It isn’t necessary for 95% of keys

The biggest uptime difference comes from the minor rather than the major

CET vs CEST

We just have everything scaled according to GMT with no summer/winter time

or state or province or whatever

mortal brook
