Well that was intense.

ravager is cool and all but what about unstoppable and thunderlord boots right? (no really is this right)

open monolith
#

Ravager is better even when taking into account TL

#

there is undeniable synergy between UF and TL, but it isn't enough to make it a better pick than ravager

is UF and AM better with thunderlord for below 15 keys, than ravager/bolster?

oh no

Does anyone have a working interrupt weakaura for your party? I've tried two and neither worked

still pagoda
#

the game itself is great so far, yet what makes it a bad experience is the community of it. I had enough bullshit over all these years to have a solid reason to despise all the metachasing and ridicule that happens because of that predominant mindset in WoW community. The whole problem is that at that point, 99% of WoW community just blindly trusts all the chit-chalk, ham radio and superficial tier lists. Not trying to improve, to dig deeper, to master the spec/class that you feel like it is what you like. The same blind and infantile mindset that made a lot of trouble for people who just want to play whatever they want yet were not able to find such a guild/group in which they can push high keys and sub-WR500/1000 CE completion on whatever specs they love. It is a huge problem that plagues the community, the same problem that led me to where i am in for 2 years by now: constantly moving because some guilds fall apart, and some just don't want to see X spec/class because "it is not meta" no matter your logs and how well you play, no matter their WR either.

#

@open monolith returning to the question you asked before this whole quarrel with 2 dudes started.
WoW is a game that is driven by community participation. You can't have any fun in it, especially if you love raids and high M+, without having a good mature community. The more time goes, the more i agree with damned devs and Ion that this whole situation with meta and bring the class attitude is a doing of the WoW community, not devs. Finding a guild that doesn't care for the choice of the spec while pushing for the highest performance becomes harder and harder, and i was not able to find one in all that time. Entirety of my negativity comes from just getting neglected and having to skip out on content because i'm playing something i love and not something that is "meta"

#

it just gets worse and worse

open monolith
#

Yeah, too many players consume tier lists as though they are gospel, so the class is under-represented at the moment

elfin lark
#

I was just making a joke at my own expense jeez

still pagoda
#

you can't enjoy the content if you don't have a good guild community to have good time with

open monolith
#

I mean, I don't disagree with you Karton, but I don't share your experience with pugs. I tend to get invited simply because "tank", and then I make friends with the good experiences

azure mauve
#

Can someone help me please. As a prot warrior, i have problems when it comes to hold aggro from the mobs in Spires of Ascension. Those kyrian dark angels throw spears from afar and they make me run around the room trying to grab them. Can someone tell me some advice on how to tank the mobs on that instance the proper way?

jagged pier
#

you need to run into melee

#

azure mauve
#

Thank you @jagged pier , i didn't know that.

fallow mortar
#

I am in a great guild that does not care about the meta. Just need to wait for the rest of them to gear up so that we can properly raid \o/

elfin lark
#

I understand the problem though ogre, chasing down mobs is hard for us because we l have directional mitigation with blocking

jagged pier

I've had multiple groups outright refuse to expose the invisible spiders mobs in plaguefall because I should just drag the boss around

open monolith
#

Ah, see, I never bother going above 15

#

#

that's it

#

I feel no drive to push keys, as it doesn't actually get me anything in-game

#

and r.io means literally nothing to me

lavish oracle
#

Rank also just doesn't matter because it's like 4 days into the tier, I know I haven't had much time to play, let alone sit down and push keys. Like imagine thinking a class is bad because you're getting stonewalled at 10s.

Are you guys summoning your steward right as you get to the golem, or before hand?

Guys it's better to do the wall or thunder for m+ ? :/

open monolith
#

I have never been military >.>

#

I'm not sure how to take that

#

so I'm going to take it as a compliment

steel mauve
#

thunder for m+

open monolith
#

Wall is better on 1 - 2 targets, TL on 3+

#

so, yes, TL is (on average) better for m+ than the wall

lavish oracle
#

I don't know if anyone is sure yet, between thunderlord's and the Wall yet for M+. Thunderlord's is definitely more damage

#

Which is good for current keystones level

#

Better defensives might be necessary further along

steel mauve
#

pretty sure both guides written are sure which is better for which

lavish oracle
#

The guides said they're both good options until like a week ago, and survivability hasn't been the barrier for timing keys yet

#

Like what's the metric here?

steel mauve
#

i think thunderlords more than doubles the uptime of a aoe DR cd which is what mostly m+ is, there is an argument for the wall on probably fort weeks of higher keys but its hard to pass up the defensives on trash, plus it adds aoe dps as well

azure mauve
#

What is the best slot to use TL on? feet, hands or else?

exotic spoke
#

Did you mean tyrannical weeks for wall? Also, thunderlords can't more than double the uptime of demo shout

misty shore
#

Boys, m+. Ravager or Unstoppable Force. What's the verdict

steel mauve
#

ya tyrranical not fort

#

i always get those 2 mixed up

#

ravager for pretty much every thing

#

TL on feet, can only be on hands or feet and the hands from raid are beter itemized than the boots

midnight stone
#

I'm running ravager currently, feels a lot better than unstoppable

azure mauve
#

Ty @steel mauve

lavish oracle
#

The thing about TL's DR is that it's less controlled, you're not popping it to fill mitigation gaps, you're using it on CD to generate rage and do damage

exotic spoke
#

But yeah, thunderlords with ravager doesn't double the uptime.

steel mauve
#

but in the instances where you pop it on cd you are actively tanking so its less randomized

fallow mortar
#

if we have 'high' haste, is eternal skirmish better than Eternal stance?

sullen quartz
#

My friends. Dragons roar or booming voice? Idk I love the instant aoe agro that I get with dragons roar but in the other hand the extra rage from booming would be nice to smooth the rotation

fallow mortar
#

BV

exotic spoke
#

Booming Voice

#

More Rage more damage. more survivability.

lavish oracle
#

Sure, but it's based on # of mobs and you're not necessarily going to need the 20% extra DR on a 20s metronome

#

Again, I wouldn't be surprised if TL is still BiS in higher keys, I think it's just too early to call it definitive

#

It deff does more damage, though. Not arguing that

#

Just like from a defensive utility perspective

sullen quartz
#

What if you equip both legendaries or that is not possible TL and wall

exotic spoke
#

Can't right now

steel mauve
#

cant yet

lavish oracle
#

Can only equip one at the moment

exotic spoke
#

Perhaps in the future - but not yet.

lavish oracle
#

Might be able to do 2 later

Oh dang I wanted to craft next week one rank 2 legendary that goes along with my rank 1 feet with TL

open monolith

Solo Torghast is great. What are peeps favorite combos? Iโ€™m a little disappointed in the Revenge stacker - I let it build to 100 and it was like โ€œmehโ€ lol.

Charge = 400% damage for a few seconds, leap = 200% damage for a few seconds, 1st shaterring throw does 10,000% damage

those are all fairly rare anima powers though, so you likely won't ever get to use that combo very often

@azure mauve make sure you have shield block up for when he uses mutilate, and probably ignore pain as well

#

I mean, it obviously hits very hard, but it wasn't something that instakilled me.

#

if you need to hit shield wall because you don't have either up, do it.

#

A big mistake a lot of tank players make is the "potion problem" from RPGs

#

"I'm gonna save this for later...."

#

later never comes

#

hit those cooldowns, baby

azure mauve
#

Thank you for the advice

lavish oracle
#

to be fair

#

DKs kinda need the help, haha

#

watched Dratnos do a key on his DK and he had like 1.5k overall

mild river
#

then they probably need more dps boost, no?

#

10% is too low

lavish oracle
#

Quite a few Insta wipe mechanics you have to respect

ebon jasper
#

if you're dying bolster is probably a better choice?

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, Bolster is better defensively

ebon jasper
#

Guessing the UF is because you're running thunderlord?

lavish oracle
#

Consider kiting more often too, once you have threat

novel willow
#

yeah wanted to get synergy with it as much as possible

sick sentinel
#

bolster up u basically do not die to melee dmg

novel willow
#

I'll swap bolster and should I maybe take ravager since I'm not getting as many avatars?

lavish oracle
#

I think Ravager is also just better in all situations

ebon jasper
#

UF puts more of the pump in the avatar but for that like 70 seconds it isnt up ravager fires 1,5 times

astral orbit
#

24% Vers pushed a 14 key today, but keep being stuck at your 7 keys with ZOMG HASTE BEST STAT

ebon jasper
#

I tried UF yesterday when I got the legendary and as many said here it feels super clunky

sick sentinel
#

well, i'm collecting some vers whenever i can

novel willow
#

so maybe I should look into another lego. I have the wall should I do that instead?

lavish oracle
#

Daniel, it literally doesn't matter what your secondaries are for a 14

sick sentinel
#

ppl run crit because parry triggers the revenge proc,

lavish oracle
#

People are still figuring shit out, no one is playing optimally

ebon jasper
#

you can still run thunderlord without UF

astral orbit
#

Nah man some shit head in here told me Iโ€™m stupid because Vers is a bad stay

#

Stat

lavish oracle
#

Oh, nah, vers is good

astral orbit
#

Yeah I know, just wanted to rub it in his face that Iโ€™m pushing high keys and he ainโ€™t

sick sentinel
#

vers is fantastic

#

just, we need haste so we don't lose aggro and dps

astral orbit
#

Btw

#

Haste will matter less for aggro on reset

#

They are increasing threat making 10% for all tanks

steel mauve
#

haste is our best defensive and offensive stat

#

haste generates rage and lowers shield block cd

sick sentinel
#

haste is still best with vers/crit mix

lavish oracle
#

I think the idea is that more haste = more SB uptime, better rage gen, more damage

#

But I imagine all the secondaries are pretty close

sick sentinel
#

right, and crit is to help with dps through revenge procs

steel mauve
#

the other 3 are extremely close

#

haste just has a much higher gap between the rest of them

sick sentinel
#

revenge quite often procs SS

Someone just told me Huntsman boss in Nathria gets 150% bonus damage if you stack the first add on him? Not seeing that in the journal, is it true?

ebon jasper
#

it's the add

#

that takes additional damage after 30 seconds

lavish oracle
#

2nd add

#

It's from split soul

#

Barghast

ebon jasper
#

or wait am I mixing this up

novel willow
#

rip soul add walks to boss

lavish oracle
#

Yeah

novel willow
#

increazses dmg

#

it's the scond one in the fight though not the first idk we stacked the first

lavish oracle
#

First is fine to stack

open monolith
#

Yeah if the Rip Soul add isn't full healed and makes it to him, he gets a big buff, I believe

lavish oracle
#

You want to stack boss and add as much as possible

open monolith
#

Does the Rip Soul add spawn where you are or where Barghast is?

strong forum
#

barghast i think

open monolith
#

because if it spawns on YOU, just leap away during the cast

ebon jasper
#

where the offtank is with barghast

open monolith
#

well it either spawns where the bear is, or where you are

ebon jasper
#

DBM does not shout "GTFO"

open monolith
#

there is a difference lol

#

Don't rely on DBM to tell you what to do

#

that's a crutch

ebon jasper
#

Just saying that's why people would miss it

open monolith
#

it just tells you it is coming, and you should play accordingly

lavish oracle
#

Could probably watch a vod and see

open monolith
#

I was taking Barghast to Egypt for Rip Soul, so I didn't actually notice if it spawned on ME or barghast

lavish oracle
#

I couldn't say for certain if it was spawning on me or barghast, didn't think to check

open monolith
#

The shades of barghast just spawn around the room

#

so no need to move him for that (pretty sure)

ebon jasper
#

yeah adds are just wherever they feel like

open monolith
#

Well, I downed him this week already, but next week if we don't have an answer I will experiment and find out

#

because if we can just leap out during rip soul cast, that will be excellent extra up time on cleave

solar crown
#

pretty sure they spawn on barghast, not on the tank. he doesnt target the tank with the cast, so it wouldnt make sense

open monolith
#

yeah he does

#

rip soul is a big fat nuke that you need to mitigate

novel willow
#

rip soul spawns on barghast not the tank

solar crown
#

doesnt it just summon a spirit of the target?

#

looks like you are right, he does damage to the target as well. but it doesnt change the fact the spirits spawn on barghast

#

we tried it your way in our raid, and since barghast stands still when casting rip soul we were unable to move him out, so i kited the main boss out instead

open monolith
#

good to know

#

I don't feel bad about taking Barghast to Egypt about 2 seconds before the cast

#

I probably took him significantly farther than I actually needed to, though

#

The real hard add is that 3rd one

#

that buff scales up REAL fast, and it does a LOT of damage when you move him

#

when my pug cleared it, I was literally just constantly moving him

#

didn't let the buff stack up, healers just had to deal with the constant aoe

astral halo
#

how do you all go about using shield wall in m+? I've been using it either when I know the pull will be hard or specifically when I notice I'm getting a lot of incoming damage during a pull

#

the group im playing with has been checking cd usage and mine is basically on CD during half the run

#

which i dont find that weird

open monolith
#

That is not weird.

astral halo
#

seeing as theres running and easy packs around

open monolith
#

use it when you need it, idk

#

if you just sit on it and never use it, it goes to waste

#

it can cover gaps in active mitigation when bolster / SB is down

astral halo
#

and I get the feeling that they want me to use it basically on cooldown which I object to

lavish oracle
#

You should be using it as much as possible, pretty much

#

to fill gaps in Shield Block

open monolith
#

it can add to your mitigation during big ouchy pulls

steel mauve
#

i use it when i have gaps in mit and last stand is down, or just during big boy pulls

open monolith
#

if you know there is a very difficult pull coming up, like the pull outside of trolltown in De Other Side, save it. Otherwise, just use it to cover mitigation gaps

#

Saving Shield Wall is like saving a potion in an RPG. it goes to waste if you never use it

#

don't be precious about your cooldowns ๐Ÿ™‚

blissful imp
#

I that third bear man.. thought his damage would slowly ramp up and id know when to move him... he went from doing barely any noticeable damage at stack 6 and 7 to two shooting me for stacks 8 and 9

astral halo
#

sure but a normal run is about 3-4 uses for me

#

is that way too little?

#

not a lot of big boy pulls

lavish oracle
#

You should probably be using it more

#

no reason to hold CDs, usually

open monolith
#

if it sits ooff CD for like, 8 minutes

#

you literally wasted a use of it

lavish oracle
#

2 at that point

#

if you're running AM, even more, really

astral halo
#

nah bolster

#

maybe i should get the wall and go AM

#

and spam it

steel mauve
#

not really needed

open monolith
#

If you go 4 minutes without using it at any point, and it isn't on cooldown, you could have used it twice

lavish oracle
#

I don't actually know if that's worht it but it certainly sounds fun ๐Ÿ˜›

open monolith
#

once at the beginning of that period, and one at the end

#

so basically: stop sitting on it like it is worth gold, it isn't

steel mauve
#

thats losing a lot of other stuff just to boost a cd

open monolith
#

pop that shit and make your run easier

#

save it if you know a big difficult pull is coming up

#

otherwise, use that shit bruuuuh

#

cover your gaps

lavish oracle
#

Any time you're like "I could use an extra charge of shield block here" and shield wall is up, consider using it, basically

astral halo
#

think the bigger issue is the pulls are too small

#

so its never really justified using it

#

cause i breeze through it with mitigation

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, you could always pull bigger

open monolith
#

and you'd breeze through it 30% better for 8 seconds if you did use it

steel mauve
#

adding more defensives to an already trivial pull isnt the same as adding more damage

open monolith
#

Damage and size pulls are pretty prdictable and controllable if yo know the dungeon

steel mauve
#

he would be better adding to the pull than adding to his defensives

open monolith
#

well, it kinda is the same

#

the less damage he takes, the more damage he and his healer can deal instead of spending rage on IP or the healer spending GCDs on heals

#

but, I agree, if the damage incoming is trivial, pull more

lavish oracle
#

I think it's just two separate problems

#

like 1) getting in the habit of using your CDs as much as possible and 2) damage is trivial in dungeons, you should be pulling bigger

#

(which isn't to say all dungeon damage is trivial but if you find yourself holding shield wall so much, you're probably not exactly getting trucked)

astral halo
#

I supposed I just kinda felt piled on by the group

#

lack of dps/doing mechanics wrong/full melee comp = lets blame the tank

#

not that outright but get the feeling sorta

lavish oracle
#

It's valid criticism but wow players can be toxic sometimes so they don't always offer it in a way that makes you want to accept it, haha

open monolith
#

I doubt you not using Shield Wall more was the main problem with a group not doing well, versus interrupting / CCing the right targets at the right time, but using it more may have been helpful

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, it's unlikely it's the reason your group was wiping, especially if you weren't taking enough damage to feel it was warranted

steel mauve
#

im finding it odd how often i have to remind dps and some healers that they have an interrupt

astral halo
#

we're not wiping really

#

no ones even dying

#

threat seemed fine today

#

steadily +2 on 7s

open monolith
#

okay so... I'm confused, what is the problem? what were they "blaming" you for?

astral halo
#

low CD usage

#

which is why im asking if its appropriate or not to basically only have it on cooldown half the run

open monolith
#

right but what problem was your low CD usage causing that they were blaming you for

astral halo
#

no specific issue, just in general "use your cds more often"

open monolith
#

were they just criticizing you for not using it enough, or were they blaming some specific event on you that resulted from low CD usage

steel mauve
#

unless you are dieing from non interrupting abilities and stuff then your use of shield wall has nothing to do with performance of pulls

lavish oracle
#

Sounds like peeps were just looking at the logs

open monolith
#

okay, when you said "blame the tank" I was confused, because that implies something happened that they are holding you accoutnable for

steel mauve
#

or unless it came straight from the healer and they were like there were times where you were getting shit on and you need the usage of cd's better thats a valid criticism

astral halo
#

sure

#

but its the opposite for me really

#

use your cds and i dont even have to heal you

#

that thing

open monolith
#

well, that's a valid criticism kinda

#

if you use CDs and it makes it so the healer can DPS instead of healing

lavish oracle
#

Anyways, I'd just use it more anyways. More breathing room for the healer, more time for them to DPS, unless your healer is still doing full DPS rotation while keeping you alive consistently in which case, fuck it, sounds like there's no problem yet

open monolith
#

that's a faster clear.

#

if you're literally not using your CDs ever, from that view point, you are slowing the run down

steel mauve
#

ya tanking models have changed over the years, it used to be "hold your cd's for big dick tank damage spells/abilities" but now its just use them at opportune times in your defensive rotation

astral halo
#

sure but 3-4 uses in a dungeon felt appropriate for the pulls we were doing and the damage and i took, so i just got tilted when the only criticisms were levied at me and only for cd usage

amber herald
#

which slot is better for the wall leggo? back or shoulders?

astral halo
#

there are definitely a lot of things i can improve

steel mauve
#

but also valid criticism is a far cry from blame the tank

open monolith
#

shoulders

tall mural
#

shoulders, more stats

steel mauve
#

shoulders for stat budget

open monolith
#

Capo, was this criticism provided to you in a hostile way?

astral halo
#

hm

open monolith
#

because... maybe the real problem is your ability to accept constructive criticism

#

saying "yo use shield wall a little more" should probably be met with, "hmm, k"

steel mauve
#

ya it defeinitely depends on how it was delivered as well

#

some people just dont know how to give some one advice to improve

astral halo
#

well

#

theres definitely a lack of specifics in the advice, i just dont know what they want really and for what purpose

#

"use cds more" is unhelpful when I have no trouble surviving

open monolith
#

well I think we've done a pretty solid job explaining the possible benefits of it

astral halo
#

what, use it on this 3-pack

#

yeah def

steel mauve
#

did you use avatar/ravager/demo shout often enogh? maybe they werent talking about shield wall specifically?

astral halo
#

ye avatar/demo on cd

#

ravager or spear on pull

#

its not necessarily hostile

#

but definitely chiding

lavish oracle
#

Again, there's a few benefits to using defensive CDs more often, you can do bigger pulls and give your healer more breathing room so they can DPS and kill shit faster. There's no harm in casting Shield Wall as often as you can fit it into your rotation, really

#

there are very few times I'd want to hold it

astral halo
#

suppose I just gotta get to know the dungeons more

lavish oracle
#

Chiding/condescending is the worst

astral halo
#

so I know fully when i have 4 minutes to the next hardest pull

lavish oracle
#

feels worse than people outright berating me, sometimes, haa

astral halo
#

or if not

#

ye passive aggressive smileys and all

#

๐Ÿ™‚

astral halo
#

wouldnt bet on it

#

know this group pretty well

open monolith
#

maybe the people you play with are shitlords

#

and you should find a better group of people ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

lavish oracle
#

I think it's just part of learning to accept criticism, it can feel really bad and you kinda just have to be like "I shouldn't be feeling this way, they're just trying to help" but it can feel really hard

open monolith
#

I mean, to be REAL honest

#

I mean ravager

steady spruce
#

i'm going to the other side +5 and i'm torn between prot & arms lootspec, is the prot trinket very good?

open monolith
#

the Hakkar trinket

#

is fucking amazing

#

it's like, the best trinket we can get outside of the raid

#

and I believe that only drops for prot

#

The only dungeon you need to really worry about changing your loot spec to fury is Sanguine and Plaguefall

steady spruce
#

yeah but i main arms in raid

open monolith
#

okay, well then don't go prot loot spec

steady spruce
#

You'd run hakkar and ickus trinket as tank?

open monolith
#

hell yeah

#

ickus trinket pumps

#

and hakkar trinket saves lives

strong forum
#

im liking anime emitter tbh

#

defensively

nimble drift

Just gotta show them it's not the class it's the player

strong forum
#

hollow bolt
#

strong forum
#

it costs 2 globals to swap into 2h, and no it doesnt do more dmg

#

so you just lose 2 globals

hollow bolt
#

oof ty papa nom

#

i figured it was that way when glad stance was a thing

tepid mason
#

Quick question, i was looking at top pwar on my region, and he runs storm bolt for m+. Good idea?

strong forum
#

storm bolt is omega good

hollow bolt
#

very!

tepid mason
#

Yea like i really enjoy it

nimble drift
#

I love stormbolt

strong forum
#

also, top war of region doesnt mean alot

tepid mason
#

Better than more charges

strong forum
#

i would be top 15 pwar world if i had every dungeon done on +10

#

so that doesnt say alot

tepid mason
#

More of a time investment thing

strong forum
#

yup, also not getting duplicate keys

tepid mason
#

Also ilvl 188 is plenty to do +10 keys yea?

quiet kettle
#

what talent setup are most of u running for m+? offensive or defensive

strong forum
#

i did my +12s in 179

#

youre fine roman

tepid mason
#

Ok good

#

Then itโ€™s me

nimble drift
#

I still dont believe

tepid mason
#

Fucking up lol

nimble drift
#

You pugged 12a

strong forum
#

i dont pug

#

LMAO

#

i refuse to even take 1 dps pug

nimble drift
#

Okay ya that's what I thought

hollow bolt
#

i pug like crazy

#

its fucking painfull

strong forum
#

pugging = death

quiet kettle
#

ya, even doing 2-4 can be painful with pug healers

hollow bolt
#

healers generaly dont know what 2 do with u once shield block runs out, and i tend 2 get my ass ate vigoursly by mobs

#

so i end up burning all my defensives and dying while the healer sits with ps, wall, bark, or link and goes gg shite tank

#

you know week one of m+

#

T-t

tepid mason
#

I only pug

#

And yea thats accurate experience tbh

hollow bolt
#

did a key with 2 druids and 2 shammies spent like no time tanking, that was fucking fun! trents, rock boi, solar beam, and more stars then hollywood

strong forum
#

yeah boomy is amazing

quiet kettle
#

also, what leggo are u guys generally running for m+? thunderlord or wall?

hollow bolt
#

Nothing

strong forum
#

thunderlord

tepid mason
#

Thunderlord

hollow bolt
#

dps main, saving all my cookies for rank 4 leggo after tuning, but i bet thunderlords gunna be omega powerfull

quiet kettle
#

ya same, dps main but moving to prot for pug m+ when guild is busy

hollow bolt
#

Hey the only warrior that has a shite ton of 15 keyed is runing ring (edit more then me so like 2)

#

maybe thats the way 2 go

hollow bolt
#

pika i think

still pagoda
#

and also outside of possible nerfs

hollow bolt
still pagoda
#

hollow bolt
#

Realy makes me wonder what the hell am i doing wrong

still pagoda
#

hollow bolt
#

still pagoda
#

while pugging as far as i can

drifting sky
#

That guy isnโ€™t pugging right

still pagoda
#

anyway i'm not raiding in the foreseeable future

still pagoda
drifting sky
#

I dunno it helps a lot when people know what to dispel

#

Or kick

hollow bolt
#

eh

formal river
#

i finally bit the bullet and got bolster instead of AM to get my +10. my damage is sad but bolster is OP

hollow bolt
#

god i want your haste karton

still pagoda
drifting sky
#

Damn yโ€™all doing +10

#

Just did my first mythic key ever

hollow bolt
#

im probably gunna be happy with my 9

drifting sky
#

+3 ree...

formal river
#

im 180 ilvl

still pagoda
#

imma push towards +10 and see how it goes from there

hollow bolt
#

gl!

still pagoda
#

dunno if +15 is feasible with pugs or not

formal river
#

I ran it with some classic buddies. discord helps so much for cc

#

15 with pugs would be rougghghh atm

#

jumping on top of each others interrupts

#

spells hrut

#

a lot

hollow bolt
#

ive been keying 7 in pugs

#

yet 2 key an 8

#

outside of guild

still pagoda
#

done few 5's today. To break in

#

will go higher and higher tomorrow evening

magic sage
#

is there a pawn string i can import for tanking

drifting sky
#

do yall think my char is ready to try to pug higher than +3?

still pagoda
#

pawn is garbage in general

#

not just for tanks

magic sage
#

i know

drifting sky
#

oops forgot to switch to my 184 shield

still pagoda
magic sage
#

but tryng to help a tank friend who cant sim

formal river
#

your more than geared meam

#

you can do +15 with that

still pagoda
#

^

drifting sky
#

yeh time to learn mechanics

#

i just get nervous

formal river
#

thats higher than me and I just hit 10 timer

drifting sky
#

this my first wow xpac

formal river
#

just run the m0 version of the key first

#

and then go in for your key

#

or even a heroic

#

get the layout

drifting sky
#

think its a just the tanking role in general i get nervous

#

but yeh i ran through all the m0 this week and just did a +3

formal river
#

just remember you're the manliest person there and the alpha

#

lead the way brother

#

we take hits for fun

nimble drift
#

Memorize the route by doing it once, then on a +3

drifting sky
#

was debating ravager/bolster vs UF/anger management

nimble drift
#

Then fuck it up on whatever key you want

formal river
#

rav/bolster

#

imo

hollow bolt
#

Dont worry bout messing up, iz how u learn!

drifting sky
#

feels alot safer with ravager/bolster

formal river
#

im a bolster convert. its so strong

drifting sky
#

defensive and threat wise

formal river
#

like 20 sec sb

#

you can pump damage

drifting sky
#

yeh gonna try my best to get good at prot warrior

#

dont wanna just quit and play vdk or pally

#

vdh*

formal river
#

I like being the meme tank. then when you have a clean as fuck key run everyone wows at you

#

hell i raided as a prot paladin through KT in classic

drifting sky
#

the threat buff next week to tanks is gonna be sweet

quiet kettle
#

prot pally and bear were both decent in raids in classic

drifting sky
#

i also got the wall leggo

#

should i craft next week?

quiet kettle
#

wall is more for raids

drifting sky
#

ah makes sense

quiet kettle
#

thunderlord is ur goto for m+

formal river
#

@quiet kettle I agree unless you are speedrunning. BoK spam was an awesome buff from pservers

spark mortar
#

Is everyone just gemming haste at the moment on all sockets?

formal river
#

I've mted everything including BWL drake taunt swaps

drifting sky
#

Iโ€™m reading the forums why are so many people complaining about prot warrior

#

Plays fine to me tbh

formal river
#

Dont read forums

spark mortar
#

I see no problem with it either.

drifting sky
#

Magic damage hurts a bit tho

#

But to be expected supposed to be kicking and dispel those

formal river
#

Someone has to be on the bottom even if its 1%

#

People will conplain

#

This tier has a ton of bleeds and magic which we struggle at

quiet kettle
#

were not the bottom tank really. blood is probly on the bottom atm

formal river
#

I'd figure they would be good with their anti magic kit

#

Why are they struggling?

quiet kettle
#

they just struggle on dmg intake more than the others atm

drifting sky
#

Saw that they were getting buffs right

quiet kettle
#

its all dmg thou

#

nothing defensive

formal river
#

That translates to leech

tardy parcel
#

Every healer I've spoken with who pugged with random paladin tanks have vented frustrations about how squishy they feel in keys - wondering if it's just poor play or something else

formal river
#

I'm casually leveling my BDK now

quiet kettle
#

pally is actually pretty squishy when there's defensive downtime

formal river
#

Pallies are squishies but BIG dmg

quiet kettle
#

it also depends on the pull too

#

some pulls their perfectly fine, others they just melt
