I killed the floor bosses, did quests and opened any glowing urns
Other trash mobs are usually just phantasma
what il can you run mythics with a full group?
Pretty much as soon as you hit 60. š
If you want to play it a bit safer you can wait until like 150.
^
any 130 shielders in the chat
Any 190 shielders non buyers in chat?
136 baby, straight out of leveling-y0
RNGesus saves!
rofl did you get an upgrade on the shield a minute after posting?
also - is this trinket garbaj or okay? https://www.wowhead.com/item=178808/viscera-of-coalesced-hatred?bonus=6805:1472
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
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?
whats the easiest m0 right now?
Mists not bad either
what legendary do we want?
TGV for m+
The Wall for raid
I got a 190 shield for 30k lol so it wasnāt bad
Halls is easier if you have a Venthyr in group
Mists was the easiest to me overall
mists is hard because im dumb as fuck
and just walk into the wrong one
and kill the wrong one
@sweet summit what does TGV stand for
Thunderlord
@sweet summit where does it drop? thanks for the help
spires
Idk, i failed to complete Theater of Pain since dodging things on last boss is apparently hard.
š¦
i call that boss the brain melter
How much dmg does condemn reduce and how long does the reduction last? Doesnāt 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
Iām enjoying Venthyr Prot though, 10k Condemns 
dudes living the dream right here
@odd ridge however much the tooltip says, 100% absorb, lasts for 8 or 7 seconds
Is there a cap to the absorb?
probably
@sweet summit ah ok ty
i am not sure how much it stacks
No idea. Iāll go jump on a dummy in a few hours and report back.
sounds good mate
I was wondering because if it stacks that makes bossing super strong on prot with condemn
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
all these trinkets seem like poop, are there any good ones to aim for?
blood scale
I was stupid and bought 190 shield first night to run 0s and I am now regret
I got one dirt cheap. But knew it would only be used for 2 weeks
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
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?
what level of content are you trying to do?
I want to raid, possibly mythic but dps, and m+ but i don't plan to push very high key as a tank
You can make condemn work then. It's not as good for tanking, but won't stop you
@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
Condemn is fine. Makes bosses for faster. Just grab Ravager and Roar then youāre fine for trash.
im doing like 80% of dps specs right now
spear is very good
i like it
ready for m0 haha
whaaa, that's what I'm at after m0 lol
necro prot warr 

M0s arenāt bad. Went in around 150 I think
Probably should farm the prices I didnāt get from m0 from heroics but /shrug
well we just waited for our healer
can thunderlord drop on any difficulty?
But not for me
[2]
is the % higher on higher dciff?
Seems so...
idk man but it seems ilke ye
fuck legiondary rng 4 years after legiondary rng
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
well i got reverberation:D
Around what ilvl would you guys recommend for pugging m0s?
heroic once per day without lfg
m0 once per week
and you can spam lfg heroics ofc
depends
you can do it in nya mythic gear for sure
if you have your own grp
with experienced players ofc
I pugged all 8 at 150-170. I think most casuals are scared and not trying yet
Just made my own groups
I'm one of those, I'm a mediocre prot warr at best since I just got back to tanking after a long break
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
what should we upgrade in the sanctum reservior first bois ?
I just put in learning dungeon and going slow
Aight, probably gonna give it a shot tomorrow then
šŖ š
We're tanks. We're the in demand scarce role and get to set the rules and pacing
Anyone try war machine while tanking dungeons? Seems to proc no matter who kills the mob
that's how it works yeah
I like it, been tanking heroics/mythic 0 as venthyr, works well for pooling rage to spam condemn on next pull
Oh hi @maiden ravine good to see someone from the Bear channel

Missed Thyme. Hi there
I'm a bad warrior, going condemn and all
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?
any bis lists out there?
is leveling as prot viable, or dont bother
you can level as any spec
Condemn works for prot
@pliant sage vulpera
they are the best tanking race in the game
by a longway
at least for MT
What makes them good? I'm not aware of anything that would do that
they have a 5% shield agaisnt every new foe
Oh
True.
raid too on MT encounters and trash
But what about the High mountain passive?
other than that you also have orcs stun reduction
I have an Orc now, I like how it mogs but that character was made ...a long time ago
just make an orc female
That's what I have.
its the best model in the game
@bronze forge I thought I would be gimping myself by not going spear, but I think rather than gimp, I'm just sub optimal
Also the animation rigging is awesome
(compared to BElf that hold weapons like dorks)
spear is nice but its not the end of the world to not have it
yea its cus orcs are the most played
Gimp in what context? Spear is a bad Ursol Cortes, useful af
so they get the loove
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
For icing it's rage positive
@pliant sage I thought condemn would be trash for tanking
Oh, it's not trash it's just moving some utility to priority damage on ST. Helps with snap aggro imi
plus the pot is dumb good
Imo*
yea i use it to grab packs that are geting hyer agroed by my wearlock poping off
condemn is extremely strong single target, but thats the main use for them
I hate that Necro is the Covenant I want to play but it's bad by math and function
I think spear is still bis, but I'm just glad venthyr didn't turn out to be useless
if you like necrolord just go necrolord
and so underpowered
Same.
but yea
i mean i think banner is better than condemn tbh
I've had like 3 different ideas that are more thematic and less shite. The passive Fleshcraft is silly as well.
fleshcraft isn't great but it's still an alright spell
Condemn has better uptime but it costs rage
just go it of you wanna but I couldn't purely on the numbers and utillity of kyrian
kill boss, use fleshcraft, get giga shield, go do big pull with banner
thats kinda the pattern i've been using
probaly gona go unholy for necrolord
also apparently really easy to steal aggro in raid with condemn, at least during the first 20%
Same. Necro is also bad for dps, there's just no upside
for us anyway
@steel mauve really? If that's true I'm really glad I also went condemn
arent most of the CN fights aoe 
almost all of them yea
just a choice if you want boss damage or aoe damage
but theres alot of single tyarget phases
Most yes. I'm more concerned about snap aggro in M+ so I like spear
I'm really wrestling with asthetic as well.
I don't play high end so it's not a big deal
i mean at least the necrolord soulbinds arent bad
im not gonna push on my warrior this tier so im fine with being suboptimal
They are the worst available
well yeah but they're still not bad
I think Night Fey are the only ones close to being as bad.
what
yea kyrain looks so trash compared to the rest
yea they are nice but also pelegos
pelagos is still overtuned lmfao
im very close to choosing night fae because i want to be like groot
I'm going to keep the main in Kyrian, then put an alt Warrior in Necro
nightfae good
pelegos isnt overtuned he is just the only one thats tuned properly
for dps
kleia
no
arms is pelegos too
afaik
they want that mastery too
just not as much
What two trinkets are you guys using pre r aid?
both pelagos and kleia are very good for prot
is there no one hand boe for strength?
i'm wondering the same thing lol
I was expecting a slightly low drop rate like... Idk run it 4-5 times and get it.
Nothing like this
3% according to wowhead, but i don't really know
I hope to fuck that isn't true
maybe it depends on the difficulty, idk
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
3% on every player on the party? cummulative?
thunderlord
its in the guides, tels you what legos and what item slots are preferred
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
Hi prot warriors.
-
Do you reapec when doing solo content like dailies?
-
Do you have a dps set of gear or just using your prot gear?
so in other words , me buying the 190 gloves for gold is just gonna be replaced next week
Hey fellas, newbie warrior and I love the idea of tanking, everyone seems to shit on prot online doe, any insight?
Most people pooping on prot are misinformed
Already kinda bummed since it seems like i'll have to go arms instead of fury for dps ahah
dont listem to them and youll be perfectly fine
prot is lit
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
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
boppin spear and ravager down both times feel lit
Youāre a tank they will take what they get
@upbeat elk I respec fury for non dungeon content and use two one handers
@novel hornet thank you!
i cant be bothered enough to switch out of prot honestly
@upbeat elk prot gets more fun the bigger you pull. And does more than enough damage for anything world content related. Iād say even easier right now than the dps specs.
not really
its pretty ehh from what ive seen
but check teh guides see what they say
Better than venthyr worse than Kyrian/NF by a mile
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
yea the kyriajn mod is bad
I just dont like the aesthetic
Spear was best-feeling ability for me while leveling, with Night Fae closely behind. The others didn't really pare up
I just dont like
foresty shit for my warrior
or paladiny shit
on pally id gladly go kyrian
i went necro and honestly its not bad
Is Kyrian seemingly the go to pick?
is dungeon spam worth it when doing the fates stuff
are there any dungeon weakuaras ready to go yet?
Honestly unless you wanna do +25s the first season, go what you like
people understand it takes 30 seconds to go to wowhead to find what the best covenants for each spec is right
Necrolord banner is blizzard thinking "oh raiders like rallying cry as a raid cd, let's make a version that only affects 3 people'
banner is great 
I do like banner, 10% crit and 20% hp is just eh compared to the others
i just like maldraxxus too much
@plush arch Kyrian>Ardenwald>>>Venthyr>>>>>>>>>>>>Necrolord if you're someone who doesn't have a theme/transmog preference
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
but maldraxxus 
My druid is maldraxxus and I knew he was home the moment the zone started
my bear is venthyr
It was great after boring bastion
they shouldve given us a Necrolord covenant too when every other class got ir
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
Watch somehow in 9.3 when it gives 40% str or something it jumps ahead for the dps specs
sry if this is a dumb question but how do we get renown points? I dont quite get it
@odd ridge you do the two levels of your covenant campaign + the 1000 anima weekly for this week, max level is 3
oohhh ok thanks chief
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
i go same kinda thing we did in bfa
unstopable force so i can be hyper agressive
and just focus on claping cheeks
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
I'm doing it with my guild from 145 and we're fine
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
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
Yea I was busy playing bear tank
Also are some mobs not pinned by the spear?
I've had a few just fuck off and leave
Tis annoying sometimes
might be similar to how some cant be stunned
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
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
What slot would you craft Thunderlord, and the Wall in?
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?
Depends on if youāre 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 youāre not going to die - taking advantage of that to add some buffer for shield block on the next āI will def die without shield blackā spot is best.
As in - not pressing shield block right away.
Tanking is more of a āfeelā imo than a hard rule. Depends on a lot of factors of what you can and canāt take at that moment that dictates your decision making.
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.
basically every scenario outside of magic damage.
Yeah, but this is definitely misleading.
Okay - I figured there was some common sense involved. Are we supposed to treat everyone like an idiot here?
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.
I suppose thatās fair.
those who are are prot but also fury on occasion - what covenant are you choosing?
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
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
Solid and will only get better with gear
Tank balance is very good right now
Right?
Revenj or bust
guys , simulation for prot is not available?
eh, condemn is more fun than revenge to me haha
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
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
I did use revenge on the freebies
Im reading that engineering has a belt enchant, does it still exist and/or is it worth going engi for that alone?
should also use revenge to keep up deep wounds on aoe packs
Revenge is likely to be your top damage if youāre using it properly
feel that comment is content specific
if you're rage dumping revenge in overgeared content, sure
revenge wont be your top damage if using it properly
Correction, most likely to be your top damaging ability
At least top 3
Correctly or incorrectly using it
ST different scenario
clap ss and covenant wrecks it in all logs i have available right now
not great logs for the convo, but /shrug
Brand new to prot, tanking some normals atm
is it normal, with devastator talent, for there to be a lot of downtime?
compared to last xpac, hell yea... night and day.
Youāll prob have a few dead globals
legendaries and whatnot are expected to smooth that out a bit as the xpac matures
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.
talent build for torghast?

not sure what im looking fo
2nd pin takes you to icy veins which has a page on torghast
thank you
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
Came here to find out the same thing as a friend and I are literally having this conversation now.
Wondering if itās worth to take Punish until haste picks up.
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?
Donāt even need the daily quests. Iām farming the Maw daily to get max stygia. About 10 days per gemslot, so Iām getting in as early as I can.
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?
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 alreadyš
I mean you outgearing pretty much all content at hitting 60, i did mythic0s at like 140 and was fine
^ yeah, we walked into mythics at 140-ish and completed it just fine. It's mostly mechanics, the gear just makes it faster.
best covenant for Prot Warrior?
Nightfae or Kyrian. I think majority in here are Kyrian
would it gimp me for raiding and mythic+ if I chose venthyr haha?
fir m+ yes
Depends how far you want to push I think. Itās defo not optimal
But pick what you enjoy
little defensive value
aight thanks for the help š
Personally love the spear + ravenger combo so much... so fun in dungeons
Pretty use that would also out DPS venthyr in mythics
Hows the Darkmoon Voracity trinket match up?
very big haste on use
lines up with avatar if youre not using AM
i use it
but thats cos i dont have a lot of trinkets to choose from š
Spear, ravager, dragon roar
Big pumps
My blood DK got a lot of gear tonight
Went from 159 to 177

big lad
Honestly big F that spec
dont like it?
Can't say I'm a huge fan of banking a bunch of RP sitting doing nothing for a little bit and hoping my Death Strike goes off before I lose all the extra healing from the damage taken window
But I also got my panda boi warrior to 60 through grinding dungeons earlier today
Probably going to level the bear tomorrow
solid
Hi everyone, is there a weakaura for spell reflect?
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
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.
Swing timers are my bread and butter when I play classic so honestly feels kinda weird not to have it here in retail.
swingtimer is not used for prot normally
it doesnt change anything, so its just useless screen clutter
Not sure if its been said yet but good way to farms some 171 haste vers gear is PvP def worth imo
can target a few stats your after š
Yeah Jaddax? Bugger. That's doubling down on me having to pvp then since the leaper comes from that š«
mhmmmm and the haste trinket don't look half bad to.
managed to Crack 180 with the little pvp trick
Stat prios as tank now in Shadowlands?
ilvl>>>>haste>vers>=crit>mast
im using pvp trinket with haste and main stat proc and hakkar
hakkar is something broken
57 on the warrior. Does anyone know if threads of fate requires you to do all 4 aid quests or if you hit 60 you're good to go?
questing again?
the alternative levelling stuff does give you a campaign and it's doing an aid quest in each zone. I'm just not sure if it requires you to finish them like the main story covenant
no need to finish them
okay, good. I'll get 3 done then probably
a guildie lvled from 50 to 60 with just herbing / mining touching none of them, and literally could do his covenant stuff right when he hit 60
awesome
albeit really undergeared because of his way of lvling š
I'm so excited the revendreth 1hander swords are fencing weapons
m0 tanking into the fray or unstoopable?
id say depends on the dungeon
more melee go fray
is anyone even using Whirlwind or are they just dumping rage with Revenge lol? I think Revenge base damage is higher anyway
yeah tried it then took it off my bar
you dont use ww
uf or ravager.
uf/am and ravager/bolster
Hi guys! Any major difference between weapon speeds when it comes to tanking?
No, just make sure it has strength
Ravager
16 runs in spires and no TGV /wrists
just wait for M+
i've got ptsd from legion....want to get it out the way asap
was the last one to drop
trust me, this is the one
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+?
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
(soon tm) and m+ probably the "defensive" option if you're doing "higher" keys, or the more damage focused one for lower keys
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
BV will skyrocket in value when we get access to the thunderlord legendary
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
devastator gives you more SS resets -> more rage -> more IP/revenge/(SB)
hey anybody here use littlewigs + bigwigs? I still don't have timers in several dungeons
my timers were working fine when i did dungeons yesterday
and i dont see anything on their open issues or anything so wondering if something is wrong
u sure its up to date?
I guess that makes sense but I feel like SS resets enough without it to be honest, but I guess I haven't really ran punish instead to see the difference
example de other side only has the enrage mechanics when i open bigwigs config
actually only de other side is missing timers
by all means, try punish
Punish isn't worse or bad, devastator is just a smoother/more fluid gameplay
That's really it
man after playing vengeance prot is just pure suffering š¦
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 :)
what are the thoughts between Rumbling Earth and Storm Bolt?
the extra stop from SB is very strong, but RE is fine
Storm bolt 100% of the time
I'll never ever play without stormbolt again
told you
Thank you Erga. all your support š

Blessed by the Gods
I'll give the standard defensive talent list a shot and then go from there by trying punish and stuff. I feel like there will be a lot of options for warr and a lot of min maxing before a talent build gets decided, especially due to being undergeared vs having the gear for it
Yup
Guys, I have a question: did you ever receive a duplicate conduit trait AFTER already having learned it? I didn't learn any of my conduits to save them for free respec tokens, but now I have a lot of duplicates and I wonder if I wasted anima power with that.
Ye you can get multiple conduits apparently
Only voracity is good
The tank trinket is absolutely dogshit
ā¤ļø
@strong forum how often did you get a duplicate after already having learned it before?
I didn't yet, but a guildie got like 1 or 2
ya i get some but the duplicates are just direct upgrades since higher ilvl, at least the ones ive gotten
ye im pretty sure you can only get a duplicate if you havent learned the item already
so im screwed because i saved the items
@strong forum did you grind (almost) all worldquests?
@sweet summit did you grind a lot of worldquests?
no
can you look if any duplicate (same or lower itemlevel) is up right now for you?
ye sure, sec
I'm not home for another day so I can't
I've had 158 hack and slash appear multiple times
@worthy ingot after you have learned the item already?
yes
theres only one conduit WQ up rn, and thats one i dont already have
Hello lovely warriors! Been digging through this entire Venthyr or Night Fae warrior and Iām stuck. Mainly raid heroic as fury but Iām looking to tank M+ with the intention of pushing for +15 as my max. Should I be as worried about Condemn holding me back at those 15 keys? Absolutely hate the aesthetic of Kyrian for my warrior so no hope of going there haha
Thatās what Iām feeling from hearing from folks using it as prot, just feels like an odd ability for a tank haha
Is everyone going with piercing verdict right now? been debating an endurance for the time being, things hurt still
pretty much yeah, piercing owns
okay either i am really lucky, or protection is god damn powerful in torghast
i don't think i got anima that are that good except for Ignore Pain have a chance to give me Wall
both probably
yo war gangs what trinkets we shooting for right now outta instances?
gotcha ya. Was think about something like that.
Booming + Unstable Force + AM still the best dps wise right?
you can get ilvl 171 pvp trinket aswell
idk. but im playing in this build rn. very strong in terms of dps
Does the reflect list works for a fury main aswell? i just need to find out which spells are casted towards dps right?
will spec in ravager bolster later
i actually asked somebody who did almost all worldquests and he didnt get any duplicates
i wasted so much anima power now
i think my character is ruined
That moment when you don't have the game in english and must find every trash name in french 
idk how people can play game in their native language
same
I just wish they have different servers for different languages lol
@pallid hollow BV+Rav+AM sims higher
APL is kinda scuffed tho i think
yes im hacking
yeh
what's the covenant?
alright i think i'll just put my game in english i'm getting crazy rn reading this
i feel like i am wasting thunder clap with Unstable Force whenever i use condemn
so maybe ravager will be better for me? idk
Too bad ravager isn't counted as bladestorm in torghasts
for prot atleast, but my arms avatar from talent can be increased frome the anime power
so is there a way to disable interaction with owl boy during combat, i have had so many times when trying to click a mob i click the fucking owl and open his dialogue
@ 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?
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
with changeing a conduit you mean the person?
ok so swap between "persons" is free, but changing a trait within that person is 1 blue charge?
yes
thanks
You hardly have time to cast revenge when playing UF + AM
So you miss out on that
I really don't enjoy that aspect of UF now
So you instead pump rage into IP which in the current low content just feels terrible
Why does every mythic item I get not have haste 

did blizzard ever elaborate on why the item level from raiding is higher than that of +m ?
to avoid good gear from becoming farmable and trivial to get
putting it on a weekly lockout of mythic raid and weekly chest and reversing on loot showering was the best thing blizz did in last few years
the later part coming this expansion with reduction of loot drops from raids and M+
well. You're forcing people to play raid content this way. The gap between +m loot and raid gear iL is forcing everyone that is keen on being competitive and push high keys to also do raid content.
not everyone has time to play 24/7
š raids are not hard bruh
it's not about that
neither they are a chore
it's about forcing people to find a mythic raiding guild
neither you play them 24/7
plenty of 1-2 day raiding guilds out there(except for RU servers...)
you're not listening to what i'm saying
Most people don't have infinite time, perhaps only being able to play 3-4 evenings a week. Not a tiny amount of hours tbh. To have 2 of those evenings being forced
well, normalize any raiding gear in +m dungeon keys then
I mean its not forcing you to mythic raid at all you get mythic lvl loot from cache not just the highest items from the last 2 bosses
being "competitive" on the level i assume you are talking about already requires you to actually play the game and expand outside of M+.
I don't have infinite time myself, and a lot of improvements in SL actually make it much easier time for me to both raid and enjoy M+. Just as enjoy beer Friday 3s but that's a completely different story
and also there are raiding guild that raid mythic with 1 night or 2 nights a week not 3-4
you just need to look
Listen to what I'm saying!!!
they are not forced. You can still do high keys in heroic level gear

I don't care if there is 1-2 evening raids, if people can only play 3-4 evenings a week and don't enjoy raiding one bit
on what level? WF?
to do PVP they have to do PVE
mate, that's already a job of sorts
that tiny edge on the margin karton
noone is forcing you [2]
look, we're not getting anywhere here.
again you wont be you get mythic lvl gear from teh cache
This entire discussion isn't going anywhere
Blizz doest want good loot from repeatable sources
Agreed
Simple as
Have they said that; was my initial question
^^
they showed it multiple times
All loot is supposed to be behind weekly lockout with 1 chance per week.
throughout Legion and BfA
deeds say more than words
shall i remind you of ditching of bonus chests in 7.2?
it showed even more clearly that blizz don't want any repeatable sources of high-end gear
Because if you would have competetive loot from repeatable sources, people would indulge in demon schedules
^ Destiny 2 amirite...
endless farming for god roll spare rations(only for it to become obsolete with Y3 and recent Hand Cannons reworks)
yo guys, best stats for prot/how much of every stat do u ideally want?
so basically just higher ilvl gear is better 99% of the times?
Yuh
aight, ty
Rings and neck you can drop some ilvl for better stats
But besides that just equip big number š
Is Str far enough ahead of Vers to wear a higher ilvl str trinket with a poop use over a verse with decent passive?
depends
have Manastorm trinket from Mythic
this sounds like alch trinket to be replaced by some other trinket
The manastorm trinket sounds really good
15sec uptime for 370+ crit
While doing dmg
Which is best, Into the Fray/Unstoppable Force/Ravager?
Ravager
ok thanks
over 3k on pull with manastrom trinket

Voracity is pretty good

Invincibility is terrible, don't fall for it
??
Does the legendary recipes drop from normal dungeons aswell?
Suite de Sombrelune : InvincibilitƩ = very bad

What is this manastorm trinket wizardry people talkin'bout?
this one
You know what item doesn't exist?
Memory of the Thunderlord
Oh that looks spicy AF...
Where does that trink drop?
from Muezala?
"the manastorms"
Meh. Pray for the Hakkar trinket
shoulda' looked at the loot list more carefully when I did my mythics
I got it already
Good
I got the hakkar and the? heart one that procs damage/healing
I have a sinking feeling the shield on hakkar trinket will be nerfed; it's like 30% of your hp without additional targets atm...so it's really strong for current tier/gear.
So for real though, anyone get Thunderlord yet?
Well fuck that one guy
Yeah
You guys prefer devastator or punish in 1st row?
Is there a haste proc trink in current tier?
I feel so slow/clunky compared to my end of BFA haste š¦
welp, off to work for today...g'luck warriors.
stay safe bud
@fringe marten Are you finding downtime in your rotation?
Or anyone else for that matter? I feel like I generally have all GCDs filled even with Devastator talent
defo have some dead gcds
In ST or MT?
That must be it. I guess in ST I prob use revenge too much instead of being responsible with rage to keep a specific amount for mitigation
How much haste you got?
10%š©
Every one knows the best use of rage at all times is revenge spam
Gotta pump
Pumpers gotta pump.
there is any wa for spell reflect? or only pined guide?

thx
Field Anima emitter but requires you stay in the pool
Yeah first time
šæ
It's confirmed to drop on normal as well correct? Only seen the paladin one as I've been farming..
It does drop on normal, just kinda low
Yeah that's what I've seen too, did about 20 yday and nothing
Thankfully. It only takes ~15min on normal lol

fuck you, blizz
more almost meaningless grind now
these dailies are pretty chill and fast, but this is still a meh change
Virtually no effect long term, you'll have to do the fsrm anyway to get enough stygia for all the pieces regardless
Juet more time gating
how often do yall use shattering throw?
Whenever tgere is an absorb
When farming thunder lord, on cd lol
Yuge dam
But yeah any absord you should be using
So how hard is it gonna be to cross spec this xpac? I've yet to get to souldbinds and conduits, can you change those on the fly or is it permanent?
Soulbinds themselves you can swap freely ( once you have multiple)
You can also change paths within a soulbind freely
You just have those energy crystals that recharge once a day, I think
But replacing conduits has a semi limited cost
Okay so, lets say I have two soulbinds, one of them is for arms and the other is for prot? Are they like saved presets you can change?
I know these are shitty questions but its answers i cant find online.
Somewhat
What about rows 3 & 6(hopefully UF!)?
I can't honestly say if UF is actually more dps than Ravager
For ST it's actually Itf.
Oh sorry I meant AoE @ionic fern
Row 3? BSC is tempting me for the revenge spam but unsure if that is really any more dps than BV which I like
Cool I like BV anyway!
But I do like UF play style more than Ravager so I guess maybe Iām handicapping my AoE deeps that way
I can't honestly answer that
BSC isn't dead. š
it depends how much Rage are you willing to put into it.
It can out DPS BV.
Which?
The thing it comes down to is that you actually just do not have the Rage to be used on Revenge.
This is 5 targets 2 minutes for example.
Can you run condemn and still be competitive as a tank?
how much haste is being used for that sim?
Fair enough.
Whelp, condemn was fun while I had it. Moving over to the spear life
Thundergods
Ty
If you're going for raw meme dps, you can play BSC + seismic, but you miss out on insane amounts of rage
Just to meme with revenge spam.
I don't like it and I won't recommend it.
I'm selfish like that
Where does this drop?
spires
it doesn't it is a lie
I mean, it's the right decision not recommending it -it assumes you would be using most of your Rage on Revenge and forego IP and possibly SB which in turn leads to poor survivability.
But the damage it can provide is still there.
It was fun to play in some lower keys tho.
Ancient Aftershock + Avatar Ravager + Revenge spam.
Hey you bloody legends, hows your luck with TGV power drop? And does it vary chance on norms vs hc hs myth?
What's that?:)
got it first run on normal š
just get it xd
normal or heroic w/e it was dont remember
Guys serious discussion for now
has anyone tried https://www.wowhead.com/spell=308419/smothered-shank#comments
no but i want to now
is there anyone who actually tested it against standard food?
its fucking expensive so I guess there is value to it?
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
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
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?
Nice for ST, you dont really find the time to cast it in aoe
but the souldbinds are nice
its okay to offspec tank then?
are you doing bleeding edge keys or top 50 world CE raiding?
if not, pick what you want.
lol
condemn is good for bosses, and the venthyr teleport is great in M+. you'll be fine friend
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?
WW yes execute no
good
Execute is big dam
Vers and mastery has nothing to do with it
execute phase makes me nut
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
beginning of xpac low haste 
I'm at 15% haste rn so its quite okay tbh. Still missing a ton of haste pieces though
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
Yeah don't squander on those
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
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
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
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
just be belf :)
and DH's
That said I haven't had a hunter yet use tranq shot
Hey guys, does anyone know which covenant is better for raid/m+?
Like come on, you're going to let the giant gorgron smack me hunter?

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.
Friends
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
Lowest chance since it has no lockout
ok thx
The less repeatable something is, the higher the chance
A world boss we can only kill once a month, 100%
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)?
as long as you can gain loot you should be able to get it after the first run
cool!
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
Howās prot war dmg compared to other tanks? Middle of the pack?
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.
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.
depens on talents
and covenant
what are the bis legendaries for prot?
We're up there, top 3 I'd say
Has anyone published stat weights I can throw into my mod?
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? 
mastery>verse/crit on Sludgefist since he is pure melee attacks?
Na
Does anyone know if aftershock scales with mastery like spear? to the point of broken?
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
Nathria offers quite a bit of mastery, almost ever piece
you don't see haste/vers in raid till the last 3 bosses
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
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?
Yea
Pretty much
You sim only for damage
For maximum defense, you just follow the simple ilvl rule.
Armor + Stamina = tankymans
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
lol
Idk, haven't read up anything yet. I'll just wing it
Hunter Mage Rogue Monkhealer is my ideal setup
but I'll just bring whoever because I don't actually care enough to minmax anything
when do you press whirlwind on prot?
Never
literally never
arent there niche dps cases?
No.-
no
execute is something i didnt know I wanted so much
The hardest job a prot warrior has is ignoring the temptation of pressing execute when they need to save the rage for survivability
WW is just outright weaker than Revenge in every case, costs 10 rage more and is hardcapped at 5 targets
"but but WW can hit behind me!"
and it also has a cooler animation and sound
so I guess, aesthetically, WW is the better choice
and aesthetics are everything
what are the best trinkets
Hakkar Trinket + whatever
not gonna lie shadowlands prot feels like a retarded version of bfa
I think it feels excellent.
