can someone make a bot that insta answers the covenant order

sweet summit
#

just read the guide

#

:)

maiden ravine
#

I killed the floor bosses, did quests and opened any glowing urns

#

Other trash mobs are usually just phantasma

meager abyss
#

what il can you run mythics with a full group?

ionic fern
#

Pretty much as soon as you hit 60. šŸ™‚

#

If you want to play it a bit safer you can wait until like 150.

Any 190 shielders non buyers in chat?

HEY guys doesa anyone know in numbers how much the income damage of condemn is ?

#

Found it its odd it like stacks uzp to 3 times

shell dock
#

hey fellas, levelling an alt now, gonna tank dungeons mostly for guildies and play fury from time to time, thinking about night fae, do you think its viable?

median copper
#

whats the easiest m0 right now?

sweet summit
#

nightfae is top 2 šŸ‘

#

i think halls is the easiest one

mellow patio
#

Mists not bad either

meager abyss
#

what legendary do we want?

sweet summit
#

TGV for m+
The Wall for raid

spare cobalt
#

I got a 190 shield for 30k lol so it wasn’t bad

maiden ravine
#

Halls is easier if you have a Venthyr in group

#

Mists was the easiest to me overall

sweet summit
#

mists is hard because im dumb as fuck

#

and just walk into the wrong one

#

and kill the wrong one

meager abyss
#

@sweet summit what does TGV stand for

sweet summit
#

Thunderlord

#

@sweet summit where does it drop? thanks for the help

#

Idk, i failed to complete Theater of Pain since dodging things on last boss is apparently hard.

#

😦

mellow patio
#

i call that boss the brain melter

odd ridge
#

How much dmg does condemn reduce and how long does the reduction last? Doesn’t say on the ability

#

Erga lies, it does not drop in Spires, it does not drop at ALL *cries

#

ToP on Mythic is way different to Heroic. I wiped a few times before getting it.

#

*the last boss

#

I’m enjoying Venthyr Prot though, 10k Condemns Youre

#

dudes living the dream right here

sweet summit
#

@odd ridge however much the tooltip says, 100% absorb, lasts for 8 or 7 seconds

sick sentinel
#

Is there a cap to the absorb?

sweet summit
#

probably

odd ridge
#

@sweet summit ah ok ty

sweet summit
#

i am not sure how much it stacks

sick sentinel
#

No idea. I’ll go jump on a dummy in a few hours and report back.

sweet summit
#

sounds good mate

odd ridge
#

I was wondering because if it stacks that makes bossing super strong on prot with condemn

sick sentinel
#

AKA forget Ignore Pain when you can Condemn

maiden ravine
#

My group one shot top last boss but it was close and chaotic as hell

#

Group didn't stack adds at all

#

I still can't believe they threw that many mechanics on a single dungeon boss

inland mesa
#

all these trinkets seem like poop, are there any good ones to aim for?

civic rover
#

#

I was stupid and bought 190 shield first night to run 0s and I am now regret

exotic spoke
#

I got one dirt cheap. But knew it would only be used for 2 weeks

inland mesa
#

viscera of coalesced hatred also looks decent

#

yeah... I paid a lot more than I wanted, granted I've made 3/5 of it back already

fervent patio
#

Guys, recently i've been enjoying tanking in dungeons with prot, but i usually played fury so i went with ventyr, do you recommend changing into nightfae or sticking with ventyr?

inland mesa
#

what level of content are you trying to do?

fervent patio
#

I want to raid, possibly mythic but dps, and m+ but i don't plan to push very high key as a tank

maiden ravine
#

You can make condemn work then. It's not as good for tanking, but won't stop you

still pagoda
#

@fervent patio the only regret you would have is zero usefulness from condemn in high keys

#

But if this is not the content you strive for, go for it

honest plinth
#

spear is damage

#

spear is style

#

spear is flexing

spear is life

Venthyr BDK

#

AOE GO BRRRRRF

sick sentinel
#

Condemn is fine. Makes bosses for faster. Just grab Ravager and Roar then you’re fine for trash.

honest plinth
#

im doing like 80% of dps specs right now

#

spear is very good

#

i like it

whaaa, that's what I'm at after m0 lol

necro prot warr catjam

exotic spoke
#

M0s aren’t bad. Went in around 150 I think

#

Probably should farm the prices I didn’t get from m0 from heroics but /shrug

well we just waited for our healer

M0 legendaries are close to 100%

#

Since it has a weekly lockout

novel willow
#

and finally: can I spam heroic/mythic? and still loot it or can I only loot it first run of the day/week

#

yeah I didn't get it on mythic or heroic so far

honest plinth
#

well i got reverberation:D

void karma
#

Around what ilvl would you guys recommend for pugging m0s?

honest plinth
#

heroic once per day without lfg

#

m0 once per week

#

and you can spam lfg heroics ofc

honest plinth
#

you can do it in nya mythic gear for sure

#

if you have your own grp

#

with experienced players ofc

maiden ravine
#

I pugged all 8 at 150-170. I think most casuals are scared and not trying yet

#

Just made my own groups

void karma
#

I'm one of those, I'm a mediocre prot warr at best since I just got back to tanking after a long break

honest plinth
#

did some heroic runs?

#

Currently sitting at 166 and wondering if I should grind out the rest of the pieces I miss from heroic or just go for it

166 is pretty nice for pugging

im pretty sure

what should we upgrade in the sanctum reservior first bois ?

Aight, probably gonna give it a shot tomorrow then

#

We're tanks. We're the in demand scarce role and get to set the rules and pacing

novel hornet
#

Anyone try war machine while tanking dungeons? Seems to proc no matter who kills the mob

ebon hound
#

that's how it works yeah

novel hornet
#

I like it, been tanking heroics/mythic 0 as venthyr, works well for pooling rage to spam condemn on next pull

pliant sage
#

Oh hi @maiden ravine good to see someone from the Bear channel

undone sun
pliant sage
#

Missed Thyme. Hi there

maiden ravine
#

I'm a bad warrior, going condemn and all

pliant sage
#

I went Kyrian and Horde because apparently all my friends went Horde.

#

I do have a pointless question to ask if people want to indulge me, what is the race on Horde with the most defensive ability or utility?

fresh kernel
#

any bis lists out there?

timber nest
#

is t here any plan on updating the ignore pain tracker by Marok?

#

throwing me errors

opal halo
#

is leveling as prot viable, or dont bother

steel mauve
#

you can level as any spec

primal saddle
#

@pliant sage vulpera

#

they are the best tanking race in the game

#

by a longway

#

at least for MT

pliant sage
#

What makes them good? I'm not aware of anything that would do that

primal saddle
#

they have a 5% shield agaisnt every new foe

pliant sage
#

Oh

primal saddle
#

yea

#

its dumb

#

so for M+ thats alot

pliant sage
#

True.

primal saddle
#

raid too on MT encounters and trash

pliant sage
#

But what about the High mountain passive?

primal saddle
#

other than that you also have orcs stun reduction

pliant sage
#

I have an Orc now, I like how it mogs but that character was made ...a long time ago

primal saddle
#

just make an orc female

pliant sage
#

That's what I have.

primal saddle
#

its the best model in the game

novel hornet
#

@bronze forge I thought I would be gimping myself by not going spear, but I think rather than gimp, I'm just sub optimal

pliant sage
#

Also the animation rigging is awesome

#

(compared to BElf that hold weapons like dorks)

primal saddle
#

spear is nice but its not the end of the world to not have it

#

yea its cus orcs are the most played

pliant sage
#

Gimp in what context? Spear is a bad Ursol Cortes, useful af

primal saddle
#

so they get the loove

west adder
#

any opinions on venthyr-prot ? it had the same mitigation as ignorepain for me in most dungeons but feels weird to press instead of ignorepain

pliant sage
#

For icing it's rage positive

novel hornet
#

@pliant sage I thought condemn would be trash for tanking

primal saddle
#

i really like niight fae but only for fury

#

but for alrrounder i went spear

pliant sage
#

Oh, it's not trash it's just moving some utility to priority damage on ST. Helps with snap aggro imi

primal saddle
#

plus the pot is dumb good

pliant sage
#

Imo*

primal saddle
#

yea i use it to grab packs that are geting hyer agroed by my wearlock poping off

steel mauve
#

condemn is extremely strong single target, but thats the main use for them

pliant sage
#

I hate that Necro is the Covenant I want to play but it's bad by math and function

primal saddle
#

i wish banner was reworked

#

its sooooo fucking boreing to use

novel hornet
#

I think spear is still bis, but I'm just glad venthyr didn't turn out to be useless

civic rover
#

if you like necrolord just go necrolord

primal saddle
#

and so underpowered

pliant sage
#

Same.

primal saddle
#

but yea

civic rover
#

i mean i think banner is better than condemn tbh

pliant sage
#

I've had like 3 different ideas that are more thematic and less shite. The passive Fleshcraft is silly as well.

civic rover
#

fleshcraft isn't great but it's still an alright spell

pliant sage
#

Condemn has better uptime but it costs rage

primal saddle
#

just go it of you wanna but I couldn't purely on the numbers and utillity of kyrian

civic rover
#

kill boss, use fleshcraft, get giga shield, go do big pull with banner

#

thats kinda the pattern i've been using

primal saddle
#

probaly gona go unholy for necrolord

steel mauve
#

also apparently really easy to steal aggro in raid with condemn, at least during the first 20%

pliant sage
#

Same. Necro is also bad for dps, there's just no upside

primal saddle
#

for us anyway

novel hornet
#

@steel mauve really? If that's true I'm really glad I also went condemn

civic rover
#

arent most of the CN fights aoe weird

primal saddle
#

almost all of them yea

steel mauve
#

just a choice if you want boss damage or aoe damage

primal saddle
#

but theres alot of single tyarget phases

pliant sage
#

Most yes. I'm more concerned about snap aggro in M+ so I like spear

civic rover
#

i choose

#

aesthetic

pliant sage
#

I'm really wrestling with asthetic as well.

#

I don't play high end so it's not a big deal

civic rover
#

i mean at least the necrolord soulbinds arent bad

#

im not gonna push on my warrior this tier so im fine with being suboptimal

pliant sage
#

They are the worst available

civic rover
#

well yeah but they're still not bad

pliant sage
#

I think Night Fey are the only ones close to being as bad.

civic rover
#

what

primal saddle
#

yea kyrain looks so trash compared to the rest

civic rover
#

night fae soulbinds are good af

#

so are kyrian

primal saddle
#

yea they are nice but also pelegos

civic rover
#

pelagos is still overtuned lmfao

steel mauve
#

im very close to choosing night fae because i want to be like groot

pliant sage
#

I'm going to keep the main in Kyrian, then put an alt Warrior in Necro

primal saddle
#

nightfae good

#

pelegos isnt overtuned he is just the only one thats tuned properly

#

for dps

pliant sage
#

I'm putting Arms in the second Soulbind, forget her name.

#

Kyrian Soulbind*

primal saddle
#

kleia

#

no

#

arms is pelegos too

#

afaik

#

they want that mastery too

#

just not as much

timber nest
#

What two trinkets are you guys using pre r aid?

civic rover
#

both pelagos and kleia are very good for prot

primal saddle
#

is there no one hand boe for strength?

open monolith
#

Has anyone actually looted Memory of the Thunderlord?

#

I'm not convinced it exists

ashen moon
open monolith
#

I was expecting a slightly low drop rate like... Idk run it 4-5 times and get it.

#

Nothing like this

ashen moon
#

3% according to wowhead, but i don't really know

open monolith
#

I hope to fuck that isn't true

ashen moon
#

maybe it depends on the difficulty, idk

maiden ravine
#

That's also 3% of everyone who's ran it

#

Including non warriors

#

Better estimate may be 30-50% for m0 and lower for repeatable content

ashen moon
#

3% on every player on the party? cummulative?

quartz mist
#

what legendary we rocking ?

#

and will it matter on what piece?

ashen moon
#

thunderlord

steel mauve
#

its in the guides, tels you what legos and what item slots are preferred

maiden ravine
#

Yes and good way to see this was looking at drop rates of icecrown rares. Rings had a 25% drop rate cause everyone could use them, but armor pieces were more like 10%

#

A 100% drop item for one class will show near 0% eventually if you only get it once

upbeat elk
#

Hi prot warriors.

  1. Do you reapec when doing solo content like dailies?

  2. Do you have a dps set of gear or just using your prot gear?

quartz mist
#

so in other words , me buying the 190 gloves for gold is just gonna be replaced next week

boreal aspen
#

Hey fellas, newbie warrior and I love the idea of tanking, everyone seems to shit on prot online doe, any insight?

mellow patio
#

Most people pooping on prot are misinformed

boreal aspen
#

Already kinda bummed since it seems like i'll have to go arms instead of fury for dps ahah

steel mauve
#

dont listem to them and youll be perfectly fine

quartz mist
#

prot is lit

mellow patio
#

Prot is good. Plays a bit slower than it did in bfa and you have to be more deliberate with what you spend your rage on but it is objectively good

boreal aspen
#

Great to hear fellas, just don't want to stumble into a situation where I invest into gearing something and am excluded from pug groups :p

quartz mist
#

boppin spear and ravager down both times feel lit

mellow patio
#

You’re a tank they will take what they get

civic rover
#

all of the tanks are really good rn

#

it's even closer balanced than 8.3

novel hornet
#

@upbeat elk I respec fury for non dungeon content and use two one handers

upbeat elk
#

@novel hornet thank you!

steel mauve
#

i cant be bothered enough to switch out of prot honestly

barren widget
#

@upbeat elk prot gets more fun the bigger you pull. And does more than enough damage for anything world content related. I’d say even easier right now than the dps specs.

topaz zenith
#

is necro decent for prot?

#

like the soulbinds I mean

primal saddle
#

not really

#

its pretty ehh from what ive seen

#

but check teh guides see what they say

mellow patio
#

Better than venthyr worse than Kyrian/NF by a mile

topaz zenith
#

I just really want necro

#

I hate how kyrian looks and feels

mellow patio
#

How do you hate how spear feels

#

You just throw it

#

Never to think again

#

I do get the quarrel with the mog and what not

primal saddle
#

yea the kyriajn mod is bad

topaz zenith
#

I just dont like the aesthetic

tardy parcel
#

Spear was best-feeling ability for me while leveling, with Night Fae closely behind. The others didn't really pare up

topaz zenith
#

I just dont like

#

foresty shit for my warrior

#

or paladiny shit

#

on pally id gladly go kyrian

civic rover
#

i went necro and honestly its not bad

plush arch
#

Is Kyrian seemingly the go to pick?

fiery remnant
#

is dungeon spam worth it when doing the fates stuff

timber nest
#

are there any dungeon weakuaras ready to go yet?

maiden ravine
#

Honestly unless you wanna do +25s the first season, go what you like

civic rover
#

people understand it takes 30 seconds to go to wowhead to find what the best covenants for each spec is right

maiden ravine
#

Necrolord banner is blizzard thinking "oh raiders like rallying cry as a raid cd, let's make a version that only affects 3 people'

civic rover
#

banner is great bonkcat

maiden ravine
#

I do like banner, 10% crit and 20% hp is just eh compared to the others

civic rover
#

i just like maldraxxus too much

rough needle
#

@plush arch Kyrian>Ardenwald>>>Venthyr>>>>>>>>>>>>Necrolord if you're someone who doesn't have a theme/transmog preference

maiden ravine
#

I think it's a good ability, but warrior didn't really need another 3 min cd and give up a potency conduit to make it function as a cd

civic rover
#

but maldraxxus catjam

sharp orbit
#

Venthyr>>>>Nf and angels

#

So sad we got only 3 covenants

maiden ravine
#

My druid is maldraxxus and I knew he was home the moment the zone started

civic rover
#

my bear is venthyr

maiden ravine
#

It was great after boring bastion

sharp orbit
#

they shouldve given us a Necrolord covenant too when every other class got ir

civic rover
#

are you talking shit about the sleeper covenant

#

i like bastion too but the fact that my warr is a worgen just makes necrolord fit so well

maiden ravine
#

Watch somehow in 9.3 when it gives 40% str or something it jumps ahead for the dps specs

odd ridge
#

sry if this is a dumb question but how do we get renown points? I dont quite get it

rough needle
#

@odd ridge you do the two levels of your covenant campaign + the 1000 anima weekly for this week, max level is 3

odd ridge
#

oohhh ok thanks chief

warm apex
#

I'm sure this has been asked, but what do y'all like for your 6th and 7th talent?

#

Seems like its between Unstoppable/Anger or Ravager/Bolster

primal saddle
#

i go same kinda thing we did in bfa

#

unstopable force so i can be hyper agressive

#

and just focus on claping cheeks

cinder nova
#

Mythics aren't so bad so far

#

Easy way to get 184 gear

primal saddle
#

Just don't do what I did and fucking run mythics from 145 and have a hard but fun time

#

And you will be fine

cinder nova
#

I'm doing it with my guild from 145 and we're fine

primal saddle
#

I had a few issues on a few bursty packs that would kill me with magic but no issues with bosses

#

Oh bar necrotic wake first boss who we got tired brain stuck on untill we realised you have to kill the Magots quick fast

civic rover
#

i was doing m0s no prob at 140, just can't pull like a monkey and gotta kite a lil more

#

but i also play with a regular group so ymmv

primal saddle
#

Yea I was busy playing bear tank

civic rover
#

thats what i was playing lul

#

BAER gang

primal saddle
#

Also are some mobs not pinned by the spear?

#

I've had a few just fuck off and leave

#

Tis annoying sometimes

civic rover
#

might be similar to how some cant be stunned

primal saddle
#

True

#

Not sure what it is that defines it

#

I know bosses can't be pinned

#

But alot of random mobs can't ether must be the unstunable ones I guess

#

Never tested

sick sentinel
#

i hope cross specing isn't hard with covenants

#

really really enjoy prot but dont wanna be pinned down to just DPS cause i picked venthyr

#

I know spear is a million times better on the prot side of things

opaque hearth
#

What slot would you craft Thunderlord, and the Wall in?

warm apex
#

When using Ignore Pain during Shield Block downtime, should I allow the Ignore Pain buff expire before using Shield Block again, or just double up as soon as Shield Block is ready?

elder cosmos
#

Depends on if you’re going to die or not and what context this is in. Shield block is far superior to IP in basically every scenario outside of magic damage. If you’re not going to die - taking advantage of that to add some buffer for shield block on the next ā€œI will def die without shield blackā€ spot is best.

#

As in - not pressing shield block right away.

#

Tanking is more of a ā€œfeelā€ imo than a hard rule. Depends on a lot of factors of what you can and can’t take at that moment that dictates your decision making.

cinder nova
#

I mean, no it's not. Shield Block isn't worth it unless it's a blockable attack, and there's a lot of not blockable stuff that isn't magic either.

elder cosmos
#

Most damage tanks take is from melee attacks.

#

In most situations.

#

Period.

cinder nova
#

basically every scenario outside of magic damage.
Yeah, but this is definitely misleading.

elder cosmos
#

Okay - I figured there was some common sense involved. Are we supposed to treat everyone like an idiot here?

cinder nova
#

No, but if someone's asking about basics of a spec, it's best not to assume they know everything.

#

I mean - especially since Blizzard forces us to test what is and isn't blockable and reflectable rather than just telling us, which is really annoying.

elder cosmos
#

I suppose that’s fair.

stiff osprey
#

those who are are prot but also fury on occasion - what covenant are you choosing?

warm apex
#

Whats the ideal situation for me to complete layer 3 torg? Prot Solo? Prot w/ a Damage who can Healer?

#

Full 5 man? What's the easiest way I guess

spring crescent
#

Hows prot looking from a high-end competitive m+ standpoint? I'm looking to have my main alt be a tank for keys and prot seems really fun

dense flame
#

@warm apex your best bet is solo

#

Your damage output is very strong. Hard to kill

mellow patio
#

Tank balance is very good right now

maiden ravine
#

I know it's silly normal dungeons I way out gear

mellow patio
#

Um

#

Where is revenge

cinder nova
#

Right?

mellow patio
#

Revenj or bust

light fox
maiden ravine
#

eh, condemn is more fun than revenge to me haha

cinder nova
#

Nah, he's saying you should be pressing revenge in addition to everything there

#

Condemn replaces Execute, there's no reason you shouldn't be using revenge.

#

Even if it's only like 3PPM for the freebies

#

Speaking of big damage

#

holy fuck the slime phial from plaguefall

novel temple
#

i got the 184 execute conduit from a calling

#

i swear this game is trying to tell me to just go arms instead of tanking

#

or to just bite the bullet in dungeons and go venthyr for prot

maiden ravine
#

I did use revenge on the freebies

solar crown
#

Im reading that engineering has a belt enchant, does it still exist and/or is it worth going engi for that alone?

novel temple
#

should also use revenge to keep up deep wounds on aoe packs

mellow patio
#

Revenge is likely to be your top damage if you’re using it properly

compact stump
#

feel that comment is content specific

#

if you're rage dumping revenge in overgeared content, sure

steel mauve
#

revenge wont be your top damage if using it properly

mellow patio
#

Correction, most likely to be your top damaging ability

#

At least top 3

#

Correctly or incorrectly using it

#

ST different scenario

compact stump
#

clap ss and covenant wrecks it in all logs i have available right now

#

not great logs for the convo, but /shrug

spring crescent
#

Brand new to prot, tanking some normals atm

#

is it normal, with devastator talent, for there to be a lot of downtime?

compact stump
#

compared to last xpac, hell yea... night and day.

mellow patio
#

You’ll prob have a few dead globals

compact stump
#

legendaries and whatnot are expected to smooth that out a bit as the xpac matures

cinder nova
#

Is Bond of Friendship absolutely necessary? It doesn't improve Phial uptime, so I'm curious if it's just a choice or if there is something I'm missing.

fiery remnant
#

talent build for torghast?

cinder nova
fiery remnant
#

not sure what im looking fo

compact stump
#

2nd pin takes you to icy veins which has a page on torghast

fiery remnant
#

thank you

compact stump
#

regarding bond of friendship, i imagine that's a personal preference choice... i don't see any reason you can't pick either

#

but i can't say i know for certain either

spice shadow
#

Wondering if it’s worth to take Punish until haste picks up.

cosmic canyon
#

what is it to do this week?
3+3 thorgast, 8 m+0, farm heroic gear, do daily quests? get renown 3?

is there like a world boss somewhere? something else I'm not thinking about?

sick sentinel
#

Don’t even need the daily quests. I’m farming the Maw daily to get max stygia. About 10 days per gemslot, so I’m getting in as early as I can.

cosmic canyon
#

How much stygia you got? you going to 'instant death' level daily? like 4-5 power on the bar in the middle top of the screen?

#

or just doing the two dailies

#

as for devastator

#

I suggest you run Dragon Roar for snap threat until haste picks up to reduce the windows of having nothing to do.
Devastator is what, 6-9% of total damage output + free resets on SS all by itself, so it's really really good.

#

that is doing key content

#

what about enchants btw, what to get? weapon ench?

frosty scarab

Running devastator atm, and it required some getting used to it, but feels fine. Yeah a bit slower than bfa but works fine. Just a bit less buttons to press. Threat is sometimes an issue if people go all out and you dont have ravager or kyrian spear to use. But most of the times i regain aggro within seconds

#

But then again, currently only running hcs and will do m0s tonight. And with 171 ilvl i feel like outgearing hcs alreadyšŸ˜‚

I mean you outgearing pretty much all content at hitting 60, i did mythic0s at like 140 and was fine

Hi everyone, is there a weakaura for spell reflect?

graceful girder
#

so do you guys use a weak aura for auto attack timers when playing prot?

#

with the devastator talent I find that more often than i'd like I get a shield slam refresh just as I'm about to press revenge because I didn't know I had an AA with a possible refresh coming in at that exact time

forest fern
#

you can, the idea is as the timer is just about ending to make a swing start spamming shield slam, gets them out a bit more consistently so you aren't stuck in a gcd when the proc happens

#

will prob be much more valuable on boss fights, long ones especially

#

If you don't want a weak aura swing timer specific mods for warriors have existed since vanilla, just look around curse etc for them.

graceful girder
#

Swing timers are my bread and butter when I play classic so honestly feels kinda weird not to have it here in retail.

sweet summit
#

swingtimer is not used for prot normally

#

it doesnt change anything, so its just useless screen clutter

what's the best weakaura collection you guys recommend? also after pushing mythics I've been tempted to try the more "defensive" wowhead talent build, any feedback on it? What talents do you guys generally recommend for raid/m+?

sweet summit
#

i use afenars
the idk what feedback you want, its fun. ravager+BV is big rage and bolster gives you more SB uptime
for raids its pretty much sim (soon tm) and m+ probably the "defensive" option if you're doing "higher" keys, or the more damage focused one for lower keys

keen hearth
#

I guess I was more curious to see if it really does provide a lot of defense. I was personally thinking of going rumbling earth instead of bolt, and I feel like booming voice would be a lot better than dragon roar for the instant ignore pain when undergeared, but I feel like every option is viable to an extent

sweet summit
#

BV will skyrocket in value when we get access to the thunderlord legendary

keen hearth
#

I also feel like punish just has to be way better than devastator due to the damage reduction but nobody agrees on any of the forums ive looked at and I just fail to understand how tbh

sweet summit

devastator gives you more SS resets -> more rage -> more IP/revenge/(SB)

yeah that makes sense, I might be playing very wrong but i feel as though I would have a good amount of times to cast devastate to go for more SBs. I guess i'll just try them both in heroics and see what i think :)

@ the guys who already used the conduit traits extensively, how does the respeccing traits work exactly?

#

i know you can change freely in a row

#

but how can you change a trait

#

is that the blue token for?

#

that stacks up to 10?

sweet summit
#

its for changing a conduit

#

respecing doesnt change anything, its not like essences

#

think of it like azerite traits

#

once you unlock a new soulbind, you can freely change between the soulbinds. so you can have one soulbind for prot and once for arms for example

coral marsh
#

with changeing a conduit you mean the person?

sweet summit
#

the "person" is a soulbind

a conduit is the other thingy

ok so swap between "persons" is free, but changing a trait within that person is 1 blue charge?

Guys serious discussion for now

vocal sphinx

no but i want to now

sharp orbit
#

is there anyone who actually tested it against standard food?

#

its fucking expensive so I guess there is value to it?

shut summit
#

it used to be super good on beta but then got nerfed

#

havent tried on live

#

used to be puking instead of spitting fire too

strong forum

šŸ‘€ interesting

#

Go someone test it

#

I'm in 'rona family consolement camp rn

kindred crypt
#

how much do I loose if I decide to main DD and tank casually and pick condemt because of that? :3

#

like dps and survivablity

sharp orbit
#

You dont lose any survi obv

#

you only gain if anything

#

but its meh

#

at most

vocal sphinx
#

So im just starting to gear up and damage taken feels super spiky. sitting at 7% vers and 23% mastery. does this just get better with gear?

sharp orbit
#

Nice for ST, you dont really find the time to cast it in aoe

#

but the souldbinds are nice

kindred crypt
#

its okay to offspec tank then?

civic rover
#

are you doing bleeding edge keys or top 50 world CE raiding?

#

if not, pick what you want.

kindred crypt
#

totally both /s

#

condemn is good for bosses, and the venthyr teleport is great in M+. you'll be fine friend

kindred crypt

thank you :3

Venthyr have the most impactful dungeon ability I feel in halls of atonement haha

can remove ww and execute from bars right?

civic rover

WW yes execute no

quartz pond

good

maiden ravine

Execute is big dam

strong forum
civic rover
#

execute phase makes me nut

strong forum
#

All you want is ilvl and haste, rest is somewhat irrelevant.

#

All you can do is play better

#

If you feel squishy, it is because you make mistakes or your healer and dps are terrible at their job.

Often you are indeed spiky because of the natural downtime of shieldblock and you tank unmitigated hits alot

civic rover

beginning of xpac low haste Pepexecute

strong forum
#

I'm at 15% haste rn so its quite okay tbh. Still missing a ton of haste pieces though

vocal sphinx
#

Thanks @strong forum! That's what i'll work on then. The bad healer thing is possible, none of my guys have a lot of SL experience but i'm still working out the execution too. Gonna look into healing pots as well

strong forum
#

Yeah don't squander on those

solar crown
#

Get your dps to interrupt stuff, its very common they dont because 'lol its only m0, uses to do 15+ im bfa'

#

At least thats the case for me

strong forum
#

Atleast it's alot of group attacks now

#

And not only tank focused attacks

#

Everybody gets shit on of they miss casts, not just the tank

#

Alot less focused tank dmg in dungeons, also more group dmg

solar crown
#

True, but that leads the healer to panic-heal the dps instead of the tank

#

And shit just spirals

#

Hm, 15% already, and i saw you wrote you had a boe 190 shield

#

Living the good life

146 weapon

184 weapons on both warri and DK

The amount of people who don't dispel buffs from mobs

reee

maiden ravine
#

Well have to remember the type of debuff it is and which classes can do it. No point yelling at a druid for not removing a disease

#

Oh buffs, that's even fewer classes

sweet summit

just be belf :)

maiden ravine

Druid and hunters for enrage

#

Mages and shaman for magic

That said I haven't had a hunter yet use tranq shot

Hey guys, does anyone know which covenant is better for raid/m+?

maiden ravine
#

Like come on, you're going to let the giant gorgron smack me hunter?

#

Necrolord is best for both

#

Good luck

sweet summit

Q: What is the best Covenant choice?
A: Whichever Covenant you choose you can still do all your dailiy activities. For general purposes the order would be Kyrian >= Night Fae > Necrolord/Venthyr.
This order is not set in stone as Covenants are prone to be buffed and nerfed throughout Shadowlands.

You can skip the miniboss in necrotic wake with priest mind soothe

This makes me very pleased.

still trying to sort through trinkets, pvp haste+proc trinket worth investing upgrades in?

#

pvp trink+hakkar trink as a good for all scenarios set up

One question can legendarys drop in nhc dungeons, farming for thunderlords, but im not sure.

#

its in the loot pool

maiden ravine
#

Lowest chance since it has no lockout

dense salmon
#

ok thx

maiden ravine
#

The less repeatable something is, the higher the chance

#

A world boss we can only kill once a month, 100%

tardy parcel
#

In a similar vein - and simply because both my Shaman buddy and I are impressed at our stupendous lack of luck from Spires thus far - repeatable content can indeed drop the Memories beyond the first run of a week, right? aka it's not wasted energy running normals for it over and over (if we wanted to)?

steel mauve
#

as long as you can gain loot you should be able to get it after the first run

tardy parcel
#

cool!

steel mauve
#

once you're loot locked its useless, ie running raids over and over since you casn repeat normal, but you cant get loot after the first kill

odd ridge
#

How’s prot war dmg compared to other tanks? Middle of the pack?

tardy parcel
#

Sure. All of my Mythics are wrapped up for the week, as well as Heroic, so normal is kind of our only option lol

#

I've had several comments directed my way towards the high amount of damage I've been doing as pwarr so far, but that's incredibly anecdotal lol. It definitely feels good damage-wise.

worthy ingot
#

Haven't heard any talk about Memory of Sephuz, seems decent option for M+ it'll be up all the time, just charging into a pull will have it up every fight alone.

Has anyone published stat weights I can throw into my mod?

strong forum

Ilvl >> haste>>>>vers=crit>mastery

Stat weights are a dead concept

#

Dont follow them through addons, just follow a general rule, the rest you sim

Sims will come out soon tm

wont i get an answer for my question? Pepexecute

Does anyone know if aftershock scales with mastery like spear? to the point of broken?

strong forum
#

Everything scales with mastery

#

Everything from warrior*

#

As it increases attack power

#

And no, not to the point of broken, you'd need insurmountable amounts of mastery

worthy ingot
#

Nathria offers quite a bit of mastery, almost ever piece

strong forum
#

Unluck

#

Gotta get m+ and pvp gear then

worthy ingot
#

you don't see haste/vers in raid till the last 3 bosses

strong forum
#

Also I doubt that sludge fist will be such a problem that you wanna max out "block" gear

#

Other tanks don't have access to critblock and they will be able to get past him too

#

Just time your CDs and SBs properly, Bolster of HR should provide enough uptime on block

open monolith
#

Question that is mostly serious: isn't simming as prot kinda silly? I mean, I guess when you're stacked AF and no longer have to worry much about mitigation, you sim for DPS. Until that point, is it not better to just ignore Sim and stack the fuck out of Haste until you feel sufficiently tanky through SB uptime?

strong forum
#

Yea

#

Pretty much

#

You sim only for damage

#

For maximum defense, you just follow the simple ilvl rule.

#

As almost all of your survivability comes from playing the game, more than stats could cover for

#

S4 was a massive exception

#

Of covering your shit skills behind a layer of 110%vers

#

Reading through all the mythic dungeon material available from mythictrap, wowhead, dungeon journal ETC makes me think that a LOT of our tankiness is going to be from bringing classes that can purge and soothe

Idk, haven't read up anything yet. I'll just wing it

Hunter Mage Rogue Monkhealer is my ideal setup

The hardest job a prot warrior has is ignoring the temptation of pressing execute when they need to save the rage for survivability

u mean easiest

cuz u always press execute

rest is healer problem

"but but WW can hit behind me!"
