Where is that from, Thyme?
Ty
Blockable/Reflectable Spells Sheet
King Mechagon Wrists good or nah?
No.
hey all, new to prot warrior. switching over from guardian druid. im having a hard time with threat in mythics. there isnt a spammable aoe i see on warrior. how do you deal with this? i hit intercept then thunderclap then what? i can use the shout to generate 40 rage but shouldnt i use that on shield block and not revenge? any advice would be greatly appreciated đ
hi guys. What is the optimal IT set up? I hear its 2x rank 1. Is that correct?
Can anyone help me with this ?
Someone in pins answers that
2x IT1
Also this may be a dumb question
Also @native wharf when you charge in (if VoP doesn't proc) you hit Avatar. This reduces TCs CD
But how do you do giant pulls as prot with a lot of casters? Just have a reliable team with calling out kicks?
Shield slam your kill prio then TC, SS, and only revenge on proc.
I do 20-22s on my vengeance and tryinf to push a bit on my prot in off weeks
But it just feels a lot harder to live if kicks are missed
And vengeance literally doesnât care until really high which is nice
@cursive burrow ahh, tyvm. when do you squeeze in the mitigation when first pulling? is it like this: intercept, avatar, shout, ss, tc, sb?
I Charge, Block, slam, avatar, tc, shout then clap on CD while hitting refreshes and revenge procs.
cool cool
Dump rage with IP spam to get avatar and shout back up.
Make sure to keep 40 banked for block when it is off.
awesome. thanks alot @cursive burrow
and is avoidant a decent filler
What happens if Maut eats the adds staright away on Mythic?
Do you run out of time to deal with the curse?
Hello, which race in the best for each spec?
For DPS they are all about the same
what corruptions are good for prot warrior? jw
Check pins
And you can do that if you have the damage it doesnât really matter
We hold the adds now and just one phase him

@halcyon pasture eating adds gives him mana, on the third obsidian skin he will one shot your raid
How exactly does twilight devastation stacking work?
I assume it just goes +damage but it doesn't add +proc rate; ie the difference (outside corruption) of having 2xTD1 and 2xTD1 is none
yes
damage stacks, proc rate remains flat
đ
does ineffable affect trinkets/essences cd ?
no
yes it is
Does vers increase leech healing?
you need a lot of versatile to make up for the lost TD in keys
kinda tofu, it increases the damage you do so you heal more. but the vers does not increase the healing from leech
Thanks
but doesnât vers increase healing received? @sweet summit
humming black dragonscale with gem vs vita-charged, same ilvl
why not both
lps
vita is better than scale
even with gem?
alright thx
healing done
@amber siren Ah shit; seems I misread the stat, oh well, thanks
... yes....

Hello, leveling a new warrior.
Saw the spell-reflection wa, but since it's a custom-list-based wa, it doesn't work on lower level content
Is there a way to find out which spells are reflectable?
Is there a guideline or some intuitive ways?
the spell reflect WA that shows what spells are reflectable is out of date afaik
and as far as leveling content goes, i dont think people have put in a lot of time to figure out whats reflectable and not
we have a sheet in #268491842637660160 for max level content
Most spells are reflectable cept shadow of zul
does anyone know if lucid dreams major is bugged? it just gave me 510 leech
which was like 12%
vs the tooltip on the essence that says it gives 1457
that sounds like youre comparing the major to the minor
i used the on use
and went to 18% leech total, and i have 6.95% base
just used again and it's fine
but just before it gave me 510 and only 12% extra leech
đ€·
super weird
works fine for me
yeah is working fine now, but i used it to test cos i wanted to see total leech % and it was wigging out
but now it's fine
LEECH
vers POG
haste vers 475
475
high key
475
465 cri + vers + leech vs 465 haste + vers
I'd use the haste
Leech on gear not worth losing stats or ilvl
azerite gear: which piece has HoD not on the same ring where BoM? I'm looking to build 3xBoM, 2xHoD, 1xDC
@calm magnet dont need to stack versa untill higher keys like 24+
theres a pin about it
20
ohh tnx david
greathelm of phantasmic reality: it has both on the same ring
around the 20 range sure but at your level go big td
pauldrons of infinite darkness: has both on the same ring
right but I do HC runs mostly and the ilvl is lower (skitra, vex) compared to what I can buy at vendors (480)
ilvl normally is better
skitra is very easy on mythic
couple good chests and helms from vendor
if you can kill nzoth you should be bonus rolling him the helm he drops is better then most of them
5ilvl off helm is defo worth
more then that no
đ

just bought a bunch of vers amps
worth
time to grief some keys pull the whole dungeon and fang

the thought of the explosive orbs is giving me an aneurism
I tried playing with lucid major and if our pulls are planned i.ex not just random yolo is it worth playing it on like 15ish keys? That rage from lucid on bigger packs is amazing

Just dunno correct rotation for it
spam IP
but ofc still put sb into it
yeh
and actually double avatar is so good
ya
Lucid is good for big pulls bc it gives u insane healing, which is great in sone of the higher keys. U wonât get much value out of it in 15s
I mean if i wanna go for 2-3pack pull my disc sometimes falls behind so helping him with that would be nice i guess
Depends what packs u pull
Nothing really does dmg in 15 unless itâs heavy hitting caster
Like water attendants Iâm shrine
Or casters in kr
like 3packs next to 2nd boss in fh
Or guards in wcm and youâre eating cleaves
these guys are annoying, and we're pugging 2 dps so it's not always great with interrupts
U only have to kick brinescale, mostly frost spell
Preferably all of them
All the other mobs shouldnt do much to you
You should still interrupt bladestorm from buccaneers and fixates from the other ones
But even if u donât they shouldnât do much dmg to you bc itâs all physical dmg
You shouldn't get in trouble pulling 3 packs in fh with 0 vers. Its just explosive and interrupts
Unless you get hit on the back
Exactly
Itâs either you not maintaining active mitigation, getting hit in the back, or dps not killing orbs
Hmm orbs aren't a problem, probs me just not doing stuffs correctly
i did a couple keys with my guild explosive orbs dmg overall was 13m and 16m

wasnt even overpulling well maybe a little
Vivv make sure you always have shield block up or last stand
You only donât want to use SB on 3rd and 4th boss in ML, and shadow of zul in kr
Bc all their dmg is magic
I canât really waste rage on those mobs
you think hes doing 20s
Maybe now that I bought my vers amps
shit does low dmg
I mean if heâs learning there is no reason to tell him to min max dmg when he should be focusing on staying alive and doing mechanics right
oh third boss i kno to spell reflect
it's just muscle memory that uses SB on it anyway
and im like well shit
switch binds
Last boss in ml doesnât do physical dmg
ez clap
move ip to SB
switch binds
@onyx vessel Then i'd use ip instead of sb
no change
imean SB still increases SS damage 

big value

most of the painful dmg is spells
đ


i would not recommend it
shit i dont even spam ip
on last 2 bosses in ml
spam sb and reflect the big dam
healers problem

You do you lol
hey guys, as a new prot warrior, what would be your opinion on spending my echoes on for right now? I see vers 3 is out, but I still need all my azerites/essences/etc. Wasn't sure what would be the best bang for my buck righ tnow
I'm 450 ilevel and my cloak is rank 5
any good tips on tanking the first 4 constructs in KR so its a bit more controlled? feels like i make them fan out their ability all over
or maybe just do them 2 on 2 :/
lightfoot or leap, gather all of them
and through over and over
or rotate around without making them go towards the group
about it
practice
go in a M0
and just keep doing it
Guys .. in Atal Dazar, Its possible to spell reflect the Priests soak mechanics.. the boss Dude, Cant remember the name. But does it have a reverse effect then? đ
no
guys, i have a 475 piece with no haste, and a 470 piece with haste, is it worth swapping to a lower ilvl to get that extra 150 haste? Im not running full expedient
ye id equip the 470
465 crit haste socket vs 475 haste mastery socket gloves?
ilvl
ye mastery really isnt that terrible that you want to skip ilvl cuz of it
besides rezan's eye. Whats another good trinket to get out of mythic + dungeons for prot war?
gore butchers block from waycrest manor
really not Jes's Howler?
the 2min cd is meh
Did AD today starting with rezan and then priestess, lust timers were fucked
its an ok trinket to use, but passive procs are better
I think rezan and then volkaal might be the play
Why item level Is the best stats of peotection ???
because it gives you more armor more str and more total stats
But if the stats are not exactly i go for item level or stats
stam and armor
also more stats with higher ilvl
and stats are pretty close in defensive value
^
only time you degrade ilvl is when the lower ilvl item has a socket or you have % corruption amps
that better increase the stats of the lower ilvl
rather than the higher ilvl one
For m+ Key are Better crist haste or versa haste ?
for low keys crit haste is better
no idea but i've been running into brick walls all week on lower keys
Stream and post the videos
90f weather aint doing crap for me either i bet
would you guys swap aegis for null in shrine
in shrine i wouldnt use aegis either
if those water bolts hit you, null isnt likely to save you
99% of the issue is the lack of control in the dungeon
first half of shrine is cancer unless your groups co-ordinated
If water bolts are constantly going off and or not being LoS/ranged, you are not tanking properly, your group isnât interrupting properly, and you most likely do not âdeserveâ that key timed because fundamentally you are not doing it right
If all the pulls were tank and spank, like 90% of the 480 ilevel tanks would be 4K io
thx professor
No problem
hey guys, sorry I normally hate asking questions like this, but for a newer prot warrior (ilevel 450) who has experience doing 20/21 keys, would you recommend a standard essence setup for me to use while I'm pushing this warrior higher?
basically I'm trying to optimize my echo usage
low keys VoP- CNS/Null/SotW
Vop major is the main thing, don't spend echoes on it
buy cns and lucid asap
eventually youll hit a point where you might want lucid but thats a bit further up the key ladder
I'd only buy cns right away and spend echoes on corruption
lucid is an amazing minor
Lucid minor >>>>>> null
and great major the higher you go
Lucid is pretty great too, especially if you do arms
Lucid major is good to practice even on lower keys
Eh
you dont really get the full value in low keys
You have to play different when you use it, due to IP spam and getting second avatar back
Yes, you are not getting full value but - itâs good to practice with
like packs die so fast i cant even use my 2nd avatar
all you do is overheal
Guys and the best corruption on war prot Is ????

TD and IT
Td
Anyone ever use sphere minor for the haste or is it not worth at all?
very good
Its good
sphere is a solid minor
i use it a lot
thanks for the advice guys, I just bought cns and I'll get lucid next
good rule of thumb i was taught, Visions till you think there is a good chance you'll die. then swap to lucid
Im still curious why you think he should be running null in lower keys @orchid anvil
Lucid major, vision, warden, CNS minor for like 20+ keys
Vision and lucid swaps for lower keys
Generally
dam mostly, he won't die in low keys and sometimes catches a missed kick
I don't even have a 3rd bastion trait yet... Chest has eluded me for weeks now :(
thats fine
unluck
Full TD corruptions with haste enchants and gems all the way until 23+ keys for sure
Fill with IT to activate HoD
ooh so don't stack vers yet?
its purely preference
check the pins
Then after 23+ keys change to full verse with 2x IT rank one
The answer to deaths below 23 keys is to play better
sorry I know I can read pins, I just like to get conversation going and see people's different opinions
Thatâs like the ultimate message in this discord from the 50 million times these questions are asked lol. âPlay betterâ
yeah I know that'll be my answer for a while haha, still have a lot to learn
if you don't explain how they could of played better you are literally giving them nothing
Ok good point
I saw a video from rads talking about how you shouldn't use cooldowns reactively but proactively
that's osmething I really want to practice
I definitely hold onto my defensives too much
Track all cool downs, do Not overlap things like shield block and last stand, make sure your anger management is being used to itâs full extent, do not overcap rage, make sure you are doing your rotation properly.
learn which packs give you trouble beforehand so you know going in which cds you are gonna use
Be aware of the entire environment each pull - I.e. interrupt order, which mobs are casting dangerous spells that need disruption, positioning these mobs so frontal cone effects do not hit your group, ranging/LoSing properly
I found the weakauras in #ui-addons-manager pins helpful for me starting out prot, especially for tracking SB / LS
Using weakauras and addons to track your groups important CDs; pulling around fire mage combust; planning your defensive with things like pally wings so they donât overlap
Manic does that include the thing that puts the group's cooldowns to the left of their name in group chat? I see that one on streams a lot but don't know whta it is
Do you know exactly when combust is coming back? Do you know if your mage just fonted? Is wings coming back soon? Do you know if each of the group members have their immunity up?
thats a 2 part WA
i didn't notice that one but now gonna try and find out
i got you
@scarlet copper https://wago.io/PartyCDs
you guys are awesome! wow
download the backend and the addon needed
Every thing I just said above is implied in âplay betterâ
or it won't work friendo
@orchid anvil the real mvp, thanks
does that set come with an interupt tracker as well
seperate one, there are heaps on wago
you can add a kick tracker to it yeh
haha @limpid pawn I appreciate the explanations đ
https://wago.io/SkjHi61Bz
there ya go lads
i was wondering how to pull for a mage when they don't have the announcer, will help a lot
best way is to track combust and look for a font channel
my worst habit so far is showing my back to stuff, guess that just takes practice though
do you have your back pedal bound?
As a new prot warrior is it more worth to wait for IT1 to come back than to get IT2 now?
backpedal like a fucking mofo
https://pastebin.com/cv5uyZeP take this if you want to pull around mages
but fury main and used to jumping and spinning everywhere
makes a sound when they font and shows a 20 sec countdown
IT2 sucks
@jaunty moth wait for it
oo nice thanks Rosjen
IT2 sucks
Good to know thanks
You will only need the vers amp/IT build once you start pushing up
dont pull around pug mages
i have TD5 and IT1 atm, but only doing like 15 and under to practice
they are never worth
you'll be fine manic
TD 5 certainly makes threat not a problem so far lol
So if Iâm doing 15+ is when I would want to get IT, otherwise stack TD?
until you feel like you are gunna die, stack TD for days
IT is a good filler, TD is what you want to stack
i really like the IT1, it makes last stand and avatar uptime so nice
IT makes everything flow smooth af with AM
i was gonna do a vers amp build, but burnt all my echoes on fury
what kind of keys do you wanna do as a tank @sweet hearth
Just for reference, I carry people nonstop and have made over 70 million gold in BFA alone. I use TD5 and full haste gems and enchants. I do enough DPS to entirely make up for one person being brain dead
i've fury mained for years cause i love the spec, my goal is mainly to be competent at tanking, guess my goal is at least some 20's
This is for +15 keys and 5 mask visions
you should learn to be comfy on prot before you go deep on damage imo
yeah i've mainly been running 10-14's to get comfortable, i haven't died stupidly yet
but at that level stuff only tickles
stack vers on pieces of gear, get some td. go clap and climb keys.
im at like 10% vers with the most vers i have in my bags atm, no amp
30% haste, 32% mastery
ah ok ^-^
haste/vers is your goal
For higher keys
for higher keys
^^
makes me cringe when i think of all the gear i scrapped when i had the im never playing prot mindset
For 0-23 range haste crit is your goal
i mean you can recover scrapped gear
even scrapped? thought that was only vendored
even scrapped
And for 0-23 âplay betterâ is the goal
its like 1 piece every 2 weeks last i checked
that's what imt rying to do Brollikk đ
no you can recover as many pieces as you want in 1 go
gonna check recovery, maybe some juicy pieces
theres a CD on it for 2 weeks yes, but you can recover literally 300 items
I slap myself in the face every m+ and scream play better
i assumed you couldn't scrapped stuff cause you get ores and shit in return
rip cause they all been vendored lol
Sometimes if I donât time a 20-22 key I just look at myself in the mirror and scream play better
Then I watch nerftank for 3 hours and queue up again
i record every key i do above a 21 and figure out where i could of done betetr
na we just do that live
we yolo like 90% of keys
tends to work out
cba tryharding
always been too nervous to tank for some reason, i see the hate they always get in keys
thats why you dont pug
for every expansion
Why are all the top players using alchemist stone now?
vers
Best thing i ever did when learning to tank was finding a healer i could play with a lot
most my friends are pretty casual ^-^
any tips for learning protection ive been playing arms in all content basicly
find any youtuber that covers the basics
#268491842637660160 and scroll up in here aswell
465 AD shield
IF then
sweet ok thank you
Brace for impact good? it's either that or a second deafening which i know isn't ideal
sweet
do explosives not give victory rush in keys anymore?
Why do the guides say 1-2 IT like i can pick but idk if i go 1 or 2
running nothing higher than a 15 what essences are recommended ?
VoP major, C&S/Lucid/Strength (or Formless if someone is running CoF major)
Sphere is fine too if you don't need the corruption resistance
Jewelcrafting for crafted rings aye?
If you're about that life, sure
Not for my prot spec i aint
Would you guys recommend going for full 465 gear with vers+haste on as many pieces as possible or equip 475 pieces in some of the slots regardless of stats?
playing to iLVL is kinda more fun aswell
Yeah the reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking about adding 3-4 vers corruption to my gear later tonight when the vendor flips
so CotF isnt worth running major?
What is the lowest recommended amount of haste?
ahhh youre better off stacking verse 465 pieces then IMO since you want the most out of verse per corruption point
i lied didnt realize avatar increased dmg by 20%
Yeah okay
lowest amount of recommended haste is 20% before ITF
Gunshing wound its still good for using it?
not really for tanks
Should i remplace it for an versatile 3?
its only good in ST situations
Isnt the treshhold for 3 SB in a row like 24%haste or somthing?
20-22%
theres no commands in this discord
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/stormscale/sayed guys can someone have a look and let me know if any changes are needed to my gear and what lvl keys im good for or should be good for
your gloves belt and legs are terrible
ok they need changing got it
you should be able to do 25+ with that gear, regardless
whats wrong with gloves?
no haste?
i should be stacking haste and versa now right?
yes
thanks mate much appreciated
now i feel bad over my gear đŠ
đ€·ââïž
no need to feel bad
unless youre prioritizing vers over haste without running 6x versatile
â€ïž haste
even if you dont have versatile
nobody is arguing that point
haste vers is wholesome
what im arguing is prioritizing vers
im just making a man feel better
over haste
đ
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/stormscale/sayed this is a better set up for lower keys say sub 20?
Why are u gemming vers
swap to haste?
Yes
ok ty
also swap enchant
ya
ya
cheers đ
465 Rezan's gleaming eye or 475 sigil or warding?
eye
rezan
warding is a shitty version of LPS
and in itself isn't that good outside of like... 3 instances in raid
even then, LPS is better
@sweet summit I was full vers đ
but the meme đŠ
like.... at that point id even take the haste punchard from mechagon
đł
should i be putting the 12% versatile tonight on mostly versa haste pieces or would you guys say stick em on my crit haste set??
The % is only good the more of it you have. So put it on Vers/haste set.
On haste/vers gear
thanks guys
Never put it on anything but haste/vers
i am scared
ah
Well, yes and no
If you time it perfectly, with CnS and Avatar you can stop second boss from jumping to the boat till avatar is over
uh no
wow that would be awesome
I only know this as a theory and having seen it done by Nerf, don't know how exactly it works
That wasn't cns doing it
you can delay it by like 2-3 sec TOPS
Is it only 2-3s? Seemed to be way longer in the nerftank vod I saw. But, might be, I haven't tried it at all
2-3 seconds isnt much. would that really justify using it as major?
thats not why they play it
..
kyothi already said why

ah ok
the boss stays till his avatar is gone
That's still not why they do it tho, it's a bonus but to say that's why they do it entirely isn't right
But yeah, that's only a small part of it, spotter mob control is the real reason
I didn't say that, I just chimed in that it's also a reason I would run it.
frenderToday at 11:44 AM
2-3 seconds isnt much. would that really justify using it as major?
I'm just going by what he said
not you
we all know the real reason is to pump with giga vers
But, I understand my 'well yes, and no' seemed to imply I meant 'withdraw' was the main reason, mea culpa
in other keys sure
@ripe shale
but main reason is still spotter work
okay i got a log and hopefully recording on a random pug ad 12
dOnT LoG M+
đ€
if i'm failing 15 keys, might be worth taking a deep dive into why..
link ya gear again, if you did it before
but, you could be not using cds properly or just having a russian healer


just tank it 4head

Any experts able to tell me what i should use my titanium residium for (ALT warrior) - for M+
I guess I'll have access to vexiona mythic but not nzoth/cara
yes but what is the optimal gamble out of head/shoulders
1 DC 3 BOM 2 ??? is wht you want ideally
?
i'm a 0 BOM andy
deafening crash x1 because you only need one, 3 bastion of might for mastery and IP on vison then whatever you want
@versed hull its not rocket science, get ideal traits, if you want more specifics check the icy veins guide
Just make sure you have 1 DC, 3x BOM, HoD/CHW and impassive is amazing
i think someone was saying that engineer helmet is good for us, and that only 2 RNG helms have chance of having bom
4th best we can have
@versed hull optimal pieces are Abyssal Malevolence helm, Skittra Shoulders and Mechanized Chassis chest
any good?
absolutely terrible
that's what i thought
And on last boss in workshop i mean that robot, besides spell reflecting and spamming IP is there anything i can do because that dude is literally raping my ass
this trinket is even worse than sporepods
Wonder if blizzard makes some items intentionally bad as a trap
speaking of trinkets, i got a 460 rezan today from a +12
Or they donât know themselves
replaces my 450 rezan
Nice yogi
Easy for items with wierd effects to easily become OP, look at the mage wrists. Think they just undertune all of them just incase
I think mage would still pump just not as much
i got 475 mechashield and 2 465 fusion hackers, would prefer stats i think.
spore pods
DONT JUDGE ME
run away
đââïž
oi; all I'm getting đą
Give me a break; toons like 2 days old if that. I just want a new shield
yeah 1 day 7 hours played.
does anybody run 3x deafening crash and 3x bastion of might? is it worth the damage if you are just doing lower keys? (below 15)
typically its not advised to run 3x DC anymore
however if youre literally just memeing on low AF keys
sure go ahead
đ
help
nice nameplates
thank
i wonder if i can full clear a vision at rank 8 cloak
EE is a bigger difference than cloak level tbh
ah, i run it solo
EE is usually the deciding factor between full clearing and not for most people
EE is epic
i think i get EE after next run i do
need 1k memetoes
are there any prot tricks for orgrimmar? my main is a hunter and the amount of mechanics you can ignore with feign/turtle is insane
Spell reflection negates split personality if you need to run through it
Rexxar Boars are a non issue with stormbolt, pummel, intimidating shout, shockwave
The two biggest tricks for Orgrimmar are for everyone though. Both Drag bosses can have their mechanics negated by standing inside of the boss. The first one is really easy to do since he won't move, but the second boss you wait til he starts casting Void Torrent, then move inside of him
And you avoid void torrent while still being able to DPS
First boss you literally pull him, stand inside him, and just jump to drop bugs
Can you spell reflect that cries of the void shield explosion? I canât seem to DPS it down without a TD proc
The thrall one I mean, the drag one seems to be much easier
you cannot
sometimes even on my hdh i just have to eat it
but its basically the only sanity damage you take in the fight anyway
you can move inside him during void torrent? that is so good
if you stand inside first boss does it not push you back?
thanks for the tips!
I think I need to get used to pulling bigger, i'm used to taking things easy and slow on my hunter/lock
It doesn't push you back, nor does the orb of annihilation hit you
There's no reason to care about cries of the void on Thrall
It's unlikely you'll break it without CDs+Gift+TD probably on a 5 mask, and it only does 18 sanity damage no matter how much of it is left (despite what the tooltip says)
Not worth wasting shit on the shield
This might be a stupid question... But does anyone in this disc do coaching for prot warrior? I'm not sure if this is just a bad week, but I feel like I get hit suuuper hard. And when I watch streamers like Floorpov, they can sometimes pull like 4 mob packs and not take any damage and their hps is insane. Is their blocking damage being added into that somehow? Because I've noticed that mine doesn't.
you can post logs and we take a look for free
is the Servant splitter from Waycrest manor and good for prot or do i want to stick with a weapon that gives stats?
for ST its bis
Ok... Apparently I'm even worse than I thought haha. Do I download an addon for that?
Thanks!
kk got EE, i feel like i should be able to full clear now

my experience in shrine
Elemental exposure
So from this "Getting Started" page on Warcraft logs, it keeps saying "raiding" ... I'm just assuming that also includes M+?
Ok cool đ So right before the dungeon starts, do I just hit the "Live Log" button then?
and also make sure advanced combatlog is enabled and you typed/have a macro with /combatlog
some addons auto log instances
Ok, so I saw that on the page and was my next question... It doesn't say where that is. Is it in the game settings or something on the web site?
what is?
Advanced combat log
Under network settings
Sweet. found it, thanks!
actually on second boss in shrine, is there safe spot for me to just stay 24/7 and not get hit by tornados?
because i've always seen tanks just running around
damage or haste?
Yeah for sure
Just trying to find the most efficient route so i can maximize mementoes
Quicker i get gift the better, and begin working on the socket grind
Ok cool đ So right before the dungeon starts, do I just hit the "Live Log" button then?
@radiant path I think you can just hit it once when you log on and itâll log everything until you log off, even if you run like 300 instances and then log off itâll lov it all without needing to /combatlog again
So no need to just keep doing it for every dungeon, then again last time I used the logging system was legion so
I use an addon called LoggerHead to automate logging
you can choose which instances it enables for
Yeah I love Loggerhead
It asks you whenever you start a key if you want to log that dungeon on challenge mode, you say yes, it autologs forever
I switched to Vers build and lost like 15% haste. and couple of Ilvls. Is that still better for 20? Coz I feel so clunky now.
hey, what'st he best way to avoid the indigestion from crag'maw underrrot?
running away
like straight back away from it?
ye
im afraid of turning him to the dps and killign them
so i just pop mitigation and take it
well you dont turn
but i wanna avoid it entirely
yes
you have to time it perfectly
otherwise youll still get hit
you can barely outrun it

oh, just jumping backwards will range too right
Sweet! Thanks everyone!
Ey im pretty new to prot warrior. What would be the second best stat after vers for mainly survivability?
dont think about vers
haste owns more
giga stacking vers is only for the highest keys
general rule of thumb is ilvl>haste>crit for m+
+23 ish is when people start looking into vers
+23ish you start seeing people using small bits of verse
+25ish is the full vers domain
25 or bust tbh
So I did wrong that switched to vers if I only plan to do 20s?
Not exactly black or white when one goes for vers, it's case by case
i also plan to cease for now and do +20-21 weekly and go on
and i don't have any vers
and it is still really comfortable
ok thanks
at 20's versa can save you from mistakes now and then, but overall (esp if you're comfortable with your playing) haste is a better stat
versa takes a hell of a lot to scale up (86 per .5% dr)
and realistically even getting enough for like... 15% more dr (30% versa more) isn't going to be a sub in for a group that truly sucks at interrupting
It feels a lot clunkier after I stacked vers, I guess I'll check it for couple of days to have some data to compare
and technically, there's not so many places in BfA dungeons where you can make mistakes as a tank
except for routes

@ancient shoal
I smell someone dropping all haste

-15%
and where you're now?
i mean if u r even considering vers at 20 keys then theres clearly something else going wrong
did you at least keep your 2 IT1's?
15? 20?
18 unbuffed
18% haste?
ye
yike
holy oof
thats way too low my guy
thats less than i have in my vers set lmao
even below 35% u can really feel it
That's without a tallent haste buff
yes
i mean if u r even considering vers at 20 keys then theres clearly something else going wrong
@rigid sinew
A spectre is haunting #protection... The spectre of people who play wrong
kekw
i feel uncomfy dropping below 35%
now at least
since i've been running 37-40% for the last week
i wouldn't say playing wrong, its just people that copy super high end keys without fully understanding why
or how the kit works fully
which is fine
^
understandable
That's why I asked tbh
yeh versa is our 3rd best stat in M+ for 99% of keys
do u play with a regular team
it scales super fucking slow
grampy
and is a less efficient mitigation stat for the vast majority of damage you come across in keys
do u play with a regular team
The only regular bro i play with is a healer. 
F
I feel really good with random groups, but my const party have some struggles sometimes. << ĐŃŃĐ”Ń Đ°ŃĐș Ń ŃŃŃ ĐŒŃĐșŃ ĐžĐłŃĐŽĐČ
And I was going for making it easier for them
just happened to get extra +208 leech on pieces of my gear
haste interacts with virtually every part of our kit, and because of rage gen and uptime on SB is the best stat for damage mitigation at ANY level. full stop
that seems significant
well its 6%
versa is braindead, because you gain from it even if you afk and don't hit anything
but people only stack it at high end because you literally need it to survive burst damage
and 1-shots
<< ĐŃŃĐ”Ń Đ°ŃĐș Ń ŃŃŃ ĐŒŃĐșŃ ĐžĐłŃĐŽĐČ
@ancient shoal
Oh, ĐŽĐŸĐ±ŃĐŸ ĐżĐŸĐ¶Đ°Đ»ĐŸĐČаŃŃ
which.... doesn't (or at least shouldn't be) happening in 20's
This is an english server 
english pls im smol brain 
thats a juicy trinket
does anyone have a good plater profile for m+?
I know how to read russian but im slow at it
@ancient shoal
Oh, ĐŽĐŸĐ±ŃĐŸ ĐżĐŸĐ¶Đ°Đ»ĐŸĐČаŃŃ
@still pagoda "Which is for a non-vers build" sorry about that.
do u play with a regular team
@rigid sinew not really. Sometimes I run with a healer from guild but most of the time its just randoms.
F
can only get to 30% haste with my current gear đŠ
Ok
as long as you're going for ilvl>all
well, sort of, I am without using my sevre clad fury gear
So as a new prot warrior, guess stacking haste after ofc taking highest ilvl will at least sort the gear a bit? Been farming nzoth hc for the trinket for ages now and idk, maybe I should give up altogether (I tank smol keys like 12-15)
LPS is not needed in keys lower than 20-21
and even in them it is pretty questionable
Get vita and scale my guy
Lps is a great crutch for while you're learning if you can get it in hc
I would get it if I'm rolling nzoth
It's an extra cooldown every minute
Let's you pull bigger and is a second shield wall every minute.
Ultra useful
20 or not
Is it more important to use more cooldowns in combat, or at the right time?
i always get confused if i should be doing SW or LS
LS is to fill SB gaps
SW is used before you know you will take alot of dmg
say big pulls or certain mechanics that just hurt alot
SW can also be used to cover additional SB/LS gaps
What did you guys think of this raid tier?
So do I just send you guys the link to a log I uploaded?
And you can actually make sense of it? haha
yea just link the URL here
is there any specific point you were having trouble or do you just want a general overview?
General over view... I honestly have no idea what I'm doing and would like tips on any mistakes you can see
Not using cd's enough, capping rage, etc
first of all, you dont have a single DC trait, that kinda sucks :/
your weapon is not enchanted and one of your rings are enchanted with vers, i recommend just enchanting/gemming haste and using force multiplier on weapon
you also have
(literal garbage) :(
Well thats good to know đč
thats A LOT of wasted rage
you want to waste 0 rage
if you are close to overcaping on rage
hit ignore pain
you use ignore pain do dump rage, but dont dump too much. you still want 30 rage ready for when you need to use shield block
Sweet
here you can see what spells you used that made you overcap rage if it helps
the one called "rage" is just the passive rage you gain from auto attacking and getting hit afaik
id recommend using vision of perfection until you're more comfortable on the spec
lucid dreams major isnt doing much when you waste most of the rage
lucid is still a very good minor, so just swap vision to major and lucid as minor
yeah!
anima is actually the worst minor essence
Oh haha
its very bad :/
Good to know đ
Alright, going into a 15 atal... Lets see if I do any better haha
anima is actually the worst minor essence
@sweet summit @ me next time
good luck
Can you block while doing the Merektha's fang?
one more thing, you might want to work on your shield block/last stand uptime in the atal
no you cant
Ok, will do!
45% blocked melees is a bit on the lower side
So I probably shouldn't even use that one
its very good if all youre after is big dam
80%+ is a good amount depending on the fight
So should I keep spore pods until then?
depends on what else you have
Its between spore and merekthas
But I can't block damage with merekthas
thats scary haha
id just stick to pods for now then
k
yeah thats what i thought :/
I have 2 ineffables though
you have 2 dead traits, in heart of darkness
I was told that heart of darkness was way good
they give 0 value unless you have over 25 corruption after resistance
you need to have 25 corruption for it to be active đ

how to win at atal dazar
step 1: bring a huntard
win
step 1: equip TD
step 2: press TD (doesnt always work)
step 3: ???
step 5: profit
heroic leaping at rezan and using SW soon after helps too
i got td3 and it 1 (x2) now anyway
versatile 3 boys
grats
making that set
how much vers is that
you sure đ€
3 is 12% from sources right? so 96%?
according to my calculations
its alot
i see 
all melee on last boss of temple hurts this week đŠ

I have learned hard way to never ever do 4/5 plate wearers and/or all melee with no ranged
5 plat wearers in a key is a dead key
Why would 5 plate wearers be a dead key?
i've seen it

Only if they are bad
