I had a long break from wow (left in WoD) comeback at end of BfA but decided to tank again at SL release
The only macro you really need is probably the charge intervene macro.
in BFA, prot's charge and intervene was the same button and had 2 charges.
In this expac we're back to 1 charge, 1 intervene. 2 abilities.
So maybe grab that macro from a forum or something
Ok thanks
I think it's something like this
#show Charge
/cast Execute
/cast [@mouseover,help] Intervene
/cast [@mouseover,harm] [] Charge
haste mastery for leggos right?
word word thanks
is signet glitched for prot where our ravager doesn't proc it?
The..ring?
it doesn't work for prot ravager
it only works with avatar iirc
or wrist yeah
^ only avatar
unfortunate
That feel when...you're browsing the AH for cool xmogs you don't have.. and the guy who owns the AH comes back from afk, and unsummons his mount.. /cry
Have a lot of guilds gotten through heroic sludge, and cleared the instance?
Anyone here pretty familiar with plater ?
https://www.wowhead.com/news=319899/shadowlands-tank-rankings-best-tanks-for-mythic-season-1?webhook after dps specs humiliation, here we go prot as well
Trell analyzes the types of dungeons in Shadowlands and the Prideful Affix from a Tanking point of view, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each spec, going over what the Best Tanks will be for Mythic+! If you're on the fence about what Tank to play for Mythic+, this may help you decide on a spec!
Pretty sure prot is underrated
Def better than blood, prolly better than pally in high keys
You know who the best tank is? The guy with the Owl Bro following him around in Torghast..providing 30% run speed and 700 mastery~~ (the steward anima powers in torghast are awesome LOL)
Pally is probably good for just crushing weekly 15s though
We're probably like on par with monk, though
nah if prot pally damage doesn't get nerfed they could easily be one of the top tanks
super consistent mitigation and ridiculous damage
i mean what do you mean by high
Like, if we look at world first level keys in 2 months or so
if you're talking bleeding edge, it's still way too early to know, but if you're talking something similar to like what 20-25s were in bfa season 4, prot paladin will destroy those
ah ok that makes more sense
for like world first keys it could easily be VDH just because they're kiting kings
and these dungeons are pretty melee unfriendly
but it could be monk or bear too because of sheer sturdiness
all the tanks are good af so it's hard to tell
I have a hunch we'll see some big bears
Literally, with its paws
Like for bleeding edge keys, survivability is looking like the big chokepoint atm
And bear is tanky af
But who knows, maybe we'll just be unkillable in 226 gear and damage will be in high demand
Huh
@civic rover I feel for you
Must be better at fighting off the sleepy bear than I am
π
@lavish oracle as sad as it is I'm considering playing monk just because of how hard everything hits rn
they also kinda pipe
but literally anything would be better than playing this bunk DK
@lavish oracle I'm hoping that once we get kitted out with the good stuff we'll be built like brick shithouses again but right now I can't even get into +10 keys
@chilly brook The way I hear it, monks are getting clapped just as hard atm
Better kite tools on monk, I guess
Worse snap threat
If you really wanna take no damage, word on the street is bear is the way to go
Pandaren are already bears and I get fucked
Lel
Hello ! when I am not tanking anything, do i still keep maximum uptime on shield block for increased shield slam damage or do i keep the shield block charges for when i take back the boss ?
Keep at least one
If you arenβt tanking do not spend rage on SB
Depends on the content/talent choice probably
okay
if i know i will not take back the boss soon is shield block a better rage dump than revenge ?
Hard to say, probably not
I think mostly you just hit revenge but I don't have any numbers to back that up
Maybe there's a world where you hit SB when you're running punish and ITF?
I use SB in time with Avatar and Booming Voice/Demoralizing but
I'm also bad at the game
isn't devastator always the better talent ?
i'm talking only about raid btw
no mm+
m+ or raid, you take devastator
π got the weapon token from daddy denathrius
I killed Denathrius....
but I haven't killed darkvein
or council
or sludgefist
or generals
lole.
where do I Turn in this weapon token?
kyrian town?
kyrain town i think, im still yet to get a wep from raid π¦
I've done a ton of M+ through 10's, cleared normal raid, I'm 7/10 heroic.... I'm using a 184 axe I got from ? mists of tirna scithe or whatever..on week 1 of M0's.
...LOL..hit final boss of skoldus hall for over 1 million damage with Scratched Knife.
330k hit, 740k overkill.
π Group got mad cause I pulled big with a stoneborn right after they used CDs. Well... tanks aren't gonna wanna pull 2 packs of dogs at once time
@open monolith in the covenant hall on one of the side wings
the one opposite the trials of ascension
idgaf about my weapon at the moment
I just want a shield
I did a 7 halls, timed it, was a little squishier than I cared for at 181 ilvl, but only key I did all week on warrior
How many mobs do yall usually pull at a time
I can life for like 25-30s 100%, but if I pull 2 packs and my dps is bad the pulls will go super long and I'll end up with no more cds or shit to live with
of the dogs in Halls, 1 pack at a time
if I have a stoneborn, I'll try to pull 2 or 3
@nimble drift too broad of a question. What key level? What dungeon?
Too many variables.
Like you said Prince, that depends a lot on the strength of your group, not just you
Idk
I watch videos
people do double pulls or big pulls with prot warrior and AOE it down in 15s
but I recruit only, like, 193s for my +8s and they can't kill a pack before 30s
Ilvl doesnt mean anything.
It's rng drops which don't show if you know your class or not
I guess the only thing you really can do is make sure they have their cooldowns ready before you go into a big pull
is there something to track my dps cds?
WA
Zen Tracker backend is REQUIRED for this WeakAura to work! You can find it here: https://wago.io/r14U746B7 Displays gr
Something like that
UwU mwahi is a cutie
I did like 6 keys with same pugs yday. And we timed 5. 10s-12s. Idk. God bless these people.
I wish i recorded the key I just did
I'm using SB off cd, had 5x the interrupts, NOT KICKS, interrupts, because Im using my entire kit to kick shit
First death is to the ads that tenderize at the end of NW
and monk goes "jesus prot warr is shit"
then leaves
legit running bolster, using health pots, consuming for a +8, 192ilvl
Every healer I've had tells me that warrior just seems to get hit 100x harder than everything else
so aids
New high keys meta: swap Thunderlord for Leaper and use it to kite everything
π
You need to build some agro before kiting
aggro isn't an issue
It is, in fact
okay not for anything that im doing
What's your group DPS?
Depends on his group comp if tricks/MD. Tbf though, two stacks of tenderise and you should be kiting, that shit fucking wrecks any tank not just warriors
Surprisingly I have monk that tells me I'm much more comfortable to heal than their pala
Maybe their pala is bad tho, I don't knokw
But it is just the DPS in your group though. Doing m+ with guildies myself, that have lower DPS is pretty painful in terms of survival compared to having 2 hunters for example and things just melt
You can't kite it tho since it slaps Tenderise on the nearest target then.
Best bet is to save the relics from downstairs if you have a Kyrian and use them there.
True, but I've found that pets and melee can take one stack until they've dropped, but I guess the higher you go, that won't be an option
Lmao
In cordinated groups it won't be a issue probably since you can use defensives etc.
I mean, DPS'ers can use defensives and soak.
But in a PuG you're out of luck since chances are they don't know what's going on.
π
So does anyone have tips for m+ 10 and up? I feel like i melt or get deleted sometimes.
Yep, I think saving weapons from down is probably the best shout for those
Do you guys kite a lot? I try to use the Kyrian Spear and kite away, some packs are fine but i find myself running from a lot of pack to.
Idk thinking I may just reroll a dps
Just like, this tanking meta of having to kite every pack is super frustrating
Yes you have to kite
Just reroll bear

its the only thing i feel like do.
I charge in, clap once or twice with defensives and then i run around hiding
yeah but if im not in
I can't kick
and the dps never kick
and people just die to shit
@nimble drift i sometimes do charge in and kick and leap out.
I guess i just got to used to the BFA tanking on my warrior in this is a small difference now from the ^^
In plater I can't seem to get my Enemy HP bars to get off of 'copy personal' ? it's very weird. I change it..it changes in the menu, then goes back to copy personal.
If anyone has vids of high keys they're doing i'd appreciate to see
trying to do this shit in time, I need to see the playstyle vs my playstyle
only have vids of my raid kills, but also havent run keys, will be doing some tonight though
but sense will probably have uploaded some
Pretty sure warrior actually doesn't get hit harder than the other tanks
but the only point of reference I have so far this xpac is paladin and they always get hit hard
@nimble drift Lightee did keys on warrior for like 14 hours the other day
14s, mostly
His talent setup was a little weird but like, it's lightee
Like all tanks are getting hit hard at the moment, but community perception of warrior is in the shitter so people see a warrior getting hit hard and think "Oh, it's because warrior is shit" even if the warrior is taking less EHPS to keep up
Happened last xpac too even though warrior was like objectively the best tank against physical damage
@nimble drift sense has all his keys up on youtub now as well
The weapons don't require Kyrian in group to use. Kyrians just activate goliaths as their wake dungeon perk
but thats not working atm, sort of
how do you mean?
cant open the swolking menu for me just wont open in m+
Yeah, pretty sure there's an addon messing with it
Dratnos had it happening earlier
Angry Keys maybe?
Or Little Wigs?
No idea
had an "automatically choose gossip dialogue" in options, iirc
something along those lines
Some addons stop me from using quest items
that he had to disable
Randomly
I'll see if I can find Dratnos fixing the issue, it was at a random ass point in his stream so I probably won't be able to find it though
dont worry about it ill have a look later when im not working
π
our cartoon sword has a santa hat now
its better
because you see less of it?
yes
Maybe I'm an idiot but I'm not sure how to use statistics on Warcraft logs to see stuff other than DPS, HPS, or kill speed.
Any classes we have particular synergy with in M+ that are worth knowing?
what you mean Bat what sort of synergy you looking for?
I set up a lot of PUGs and am trying to improve my comp construction a bit beyond "hey we need bloodlust and maybe some reliable interrupts besides me"
one melees always good or a shammy for short inturrpts
rogues got shroud
bloodlust is good
CR is good to have
who is that and whats his channel. i looked it up but can't find it
Sense is the god
You want something to remove enrages too
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeCzc4cLBfj_VxtgF31n-hA @nimble drift
ty
that's just hunters/druids, right?
And rogues
rogues too with shiv
oh dang how long has that been a thing
Since sl prepatch i think
^^
Disc heals you pretty well and provides more DR in addition to yours. Can help kiting with his shining force and feathers. So basically enhances your typical tanking model.
yea with the morphin poison
if they are a good disc which is rare
in the pug world
Good prots are also rare
i'll be honest i don't trust PUG disc whatsoever
Then I don't see any sense in question, guy's looking for combinations in PuG... Why?
You get what you get, not what you want
well if you make the group, you get what you want tbh its your choice
If you meet a good disc, it would make good combo, better than others
Well, no, I have control over the classes that get in
and usually have my pick of DPS, at the very least
I take your point though
If you experience trouble with agro, pick hunters or rogues. But that's obvious.
nah not usually trouble w/aggro
Can't really imagine some hidden gem combos, it's not DotA.
just trying to find if people factor in something that I wasn't thinking of
Try not to pick many AoE stuns also.
As you already have one, and it has tendency to mitigate.
Priests with their fear in addition to yours would fit just fine
One more point to disc -.-
I've always felt druids suited warrior a little more
Strong healing over time for a tank who's whole thing is damage smoothing
And then barkskin gives us an extra CD to fill our mitigation gaps
Prot not benefitting from double proc on signet is an oversight. Parity on usefulness must be restored between the three specs. Include the Prot Ravager ID into the legendary effect.
Devastator/Indom/Ravager/Bolster in general.
3321233
gotcha, thanks guys ^^
so we are the worst tanks and ddΒ΄s now:(?
Huh?
eh?
prot warrior deals the lowest amount of damage in the new raid. but they are also the most squishy ones according to wowheads mplus rating
π

ANother tier list?
I don t know, but i have hard Times with lots of pulls in mythic.
There are often 3/4 mobs, bit spread, i try to keep them all, but It a dps start unleash havoc on one, it's hard keep them all
Tanking with a warrior is nightmarish π©
Not really.
nope its not
the damage in the raid - dk gets a buff tomorrow
When i'm playing with pug's i'm constantly keeping up with the DPS'ers. π
Warrior tuning soon. β’οΈ
same, you do know though logs are from like 300 data points instead of thousands like other tanks
so its less accurate
There is always class tuning going on early on in expansion.
So all we have to do is wait until it's our turn.
In reality - as long as you play the class correctly you won't have any issues.
π€·
I don't remember tuning for protwars in the very first tier BFA ever
Then please educate me, how i keep all the aggro without losing any mob, as far i cast thunderclap repeteadly
Thunder Clap is a weak spell.
Revenge/Ravager/BV/Spear(Ancient Aftershock).,
Revenge > TC in damage.
but its not fair Mwahi I want to be top damage top tankiness tank again where i dont have to think so I only have to press TC again and feel good about myself not being bad as the class covers for my bad play 
RAvager and Spear/Ancient Aftertshock are great snap threat tools.
are we talking about +14 dungeonsΓ
where all tanks are kiting anyway π€
Idk what you're talking about.
You linked a raid list so i thought you're talking about raid.
then u swapped to thunderclap aggro
so you have problems with aggro in general, or only in high keys, when you have to kite?
Someone had issues with aggro and asked a question - i awnsered their question
: )
Really you guys dont have aggro issues? Im at 193 doing +10s and im really struggling qith holding aggro so i can kite
What are you guys doing to hold aggro? Im dropping it through avatar and tclap
i have these issues while kiting in big pulls.
I have, you're not alone
But there's a point in early revenge
Okay, lets get this straight.
Thunder Clap damage has been nerfed heavily..it is hitting weaker than Revenge.
Bleed is your 3rd damage position
when i go close to revenge i will die
π€
I am hitting revenge on the opener but i also need ignore pain so i dont insta die
π€
so i charge in , with all cds, drop the spear and dragons roar and jump out
10 sek later i dont have aggro
Dragon roar? o.o
DR 
Why do you jump out even?
Youre running dr?
Anyone tried Arena as prot
no i cant or id dont have any healer
Oh yeah arena as prot slaps with good dps
Then you probably don't have a healer.
Great cleave
Yeah with a rogue in 2s, kinda fun
i go in with shieldwall ~6-8 mobs, and have to go out before wall is ending, or i am instant dead
after that i jsut run
I been running with a feral druid when he convokes its a deleter
sb vs caster?
YOu are not really specific about your scenarios.
cc? inturpts stuns
Why do you pull 8 casters?
I mean thats still 2.5 minutes per pull we cant do that
Does raider io give logs?
Not in an entire pack there isn't
Also you have aoe stun
And fear
Everyone should interupt hold healers to it too
Or at least LoS casters
People fail to realise that tank survivability, especially now, is made and broken by DPS players.
lol you know a grp is bad when a dps leaves after 2 wipes
If they interrupt you should have no issues.
during m+7
If they don't..you're dead.
You have to get the whole dungeon to los casters because they just target who they see
Easy as that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but casters either target just tank or the whole group randomly.
Question about DR vs Booming voice in m+.
If I run the wall and UF/AM, would be interesting to have DR to snap aggro/have rage to SB right away? (I was trying to figure out why darkeewar was running this setup)
In 1st case you LoS them. In second, you don't get that much dmg.
Depends on who they are sanguine depths is random
you should not be running UF
EVER
What is UF?
for literally everything in m+ even with TL
Unstoppable force, lvl45 talent
I run TL and Rav π
but TC was mega nerfed doesnt matter about avatar
I too was running UF/AM first, but then checked top RIO prots on realm and switched to ravager/bolster, things got a lot more easier
It's honestly pretty weak, plus I find it gets in the way with SS procs too
Oh that one. Yea I tried it and it's not that good compared to the other ones.
^^ also this diffcult to weave TC in during avatar as you should be prioing everything else
Ok let me just cross reference here we always run booming voice for the dps right?
Ravager and the haste one I think you swap around depending on content but I would always run bolster, its way too good.
When the spell reflect list says that Fetid Gas is reflectable does that mean that you can negate the initial damage from the aoe if you have spell reflect up while standing in the aoe?
1st boss in necrotic wake
always running BV anyway
Im running rumbling eart and punish as well

Devastator and storm bolt 
Why what about plaguefall
What about plaguefall?
doubletime for raid sotrmbolt for m+
Im using shockwave on cd
You shouldn't have to.
I mean..you can, sure..but you will DR the hell out of stuns.
Same thing on mists
I think dragon roar is better ST dps overall but booming I've felt suits all content. The 40 rage you get is more than DR so I prefer booming because of it.
its not better
Its like ~5dps
It can be better. π
Im more worried about maintaining threat than dps i got 3 insansely good dps for that
For me at least
It is better ST dps by far what do you mean
eh?
I have had initial threat issues too, but those are pretty much gone by now
You guys really dont like punish even on gargoyles?
it sims 1 dps more for me and gives less rage
threat gen also getting buffed by 10 percent
Gargoyles where
Sanguine depths
what do they do?
I dont struggle woth em in anything besides +10
Do they do anything?
Also cranes with their beaks if they dont die quick enough
Just dont get hit by the bleed and theyre ez clap 
You can dodge the cleave
@stuck oriole you have to realise that it's DR on a SINGLE enemy.
Devastator provides more damage AND Rage which can be turned into DR against ALL the enemies.
Aight bro i thought i had this class down now yall got me thinking im trolling hard lol
Hasn't been been my experience at all using it. I still don't like it but it is better for ST.
if you get too many stacks of the beak poke just kite em
but like, i find those very chill
you keep saying that but are you feel crafting or have you got logs or sims to prove otherwise?
Do you guys just spam ignore pain to live too? Im typically kiting ignore pain t clap and revenge as i kite
Whooping 1.7%. π
nope I dont spam IP
No dont spam IP
There it is I guess.
I never said it was good just a bit better. Which is true.
It's minimal and can be thrown out the window by pressing Revenge a couple more times.
What should i be doing? This is my first xpac maining prot im typically dk
Idk maybe
APL is using IP to spend some rage.
you literally said 'It is better ST dps by far what do you mean'
far better <2 % is not far better
SB while enemies are actively punching you and smooth out damage intake with IP (spend leftover rage)
If you have aggro problems at the beginning try to sneak in a Revenge early to have deep wounds on every mob
That's just been my experience when I've used it
Ok, Experience in what?
Logs?
Sims?
Just "I feel like it does more damage"?
How far?
never measured it lol, like 5 yards maybe?
AFAIR they follow you and dont stop the cleave cast
Well, thank you for the answers
Alright and just incase i got everything wrong crackling thunder indomitable and anger management are staple right
I've tried it running some m+ looking through my dps addon. I had alot of crit on my character so I thought I'd might be good.
only indom is staple
I run Bolster
Really?
Bolster /AM
Bolster is BOSS
love that talent
it allows you to have much more uptime on SB
Which, depending on your dps you might need
What would you run over craxkling meance for kiting?
you want bolster if you are doing anything harder it helps with the SB downtime we have, AM is more for damage or if you use the wall and you are going into heavy magic damage
Just like I wrote in my comment, I checked cuz darkeewar was running it and I was thinking of possible reasons for the wall/DR/UF/AM setup.
I also like increased rage gen with the conduit
true, thats nice
i take bounding stride
Nah i like more up time on demo shout
But I have the IP one in there
Snap Threat due to the DPS he's running.
I can see that im nightfae though i may not need it
But the extra mobility might help
hi, quick question here, how do you analyse logs as tank ?
What do you want to analyse?
I found that Menace with the cacophanous voice makes your shout basically a 0,5 -1 second stun
you ask mwahi to do it for you
DPS? Survivability?
No.
both yes


π
Do you have any experience with log analysing at all?
I use warcraftlogs yes
Aight imma try all this stuff i was confident it wasnt that class i was just fuckin shit up thanks guys
And to check for survivability look for SB uptime when actively tanking (or blocked hits %) and for burst damage check CD usage.
This +10% rage should be huge too
thx
better people ask dude, instead of suffering
you can btw. even in 15 key it's just half hp of dps player. you can leap after 2-3 stacks
Never forgetti
Yeah ive been beating my head against a wall in these +10 keys. I got 3 of the best dps and an amazing healer and ive been putting em through hell
Its insane because +9 is a cake walk we finish with 10 minutes
what is this necromancy
10s are easier than 8-9 for sure
Got the 207 1h axe :D
You guys run shield wall cd reduction on your covenant right?
you animal sock
Badass
nope I dont
Not from my experience. π Healer just flapped.
with the wall I would though.. I think?
Which one?
I am currently testing the IP one
But other than that I have the rage gen during Last Stand
If you run it with the wall and am shield wall is on a 1 min cd its insane for raids
Oh yeha, I'm crafting the rank 2 next id
thats what ill test
dont have the wall rn
Is there any actual difference between the 207 sword and ax? I saw the stats were the same, the sword had a tighter range of attack damage
I really like the demo shout for m+ for now i have the wall just havent crafted
the axe has more haste no?
No they are identical in stats
oh
Access white swings are 10 lower and high higher
So sore just possibly has more consistent melee swings lol
Truuue
Haste verse mast right?
agreed. I like the thunderman lego
BUT, the +5 rage from SS sounds juicy overall
from the wall
So I might run that during m+ aswelll if it feels better to have more rage overall
I mean you could have it up every other pack
Let me know what you think its a 100% drop from nathria if you dont have it yet just pug a run tomorrow
It drops fairly early i think too
Oh its a 100% droprate and I have the blueprint
I just didnt craft it yet
because I wanna skip rank 1
I feel you
but I dont have enough soulash for another rank 2 ^^
F
But I decided to not upgrade Thunderman so next id (starts tomorrow) I'll have enough for rank 2 wall
do we have a definitive "best" weapon enchant?
Not really. The most generic one would be Celestial
does that perform better than lightless force?
Potentially - sim yourself.
Lightless will probably outshine in aoe.
But Celestial also provides some defensive benefits.
I like force
oh god....
π
is there anything to put on a shield
No
sad
if you put it out in the sun you could potentially make scrambled eggs on it
So I tried switching to Plater, and I'm having an issue with buff/debuff tracking enemy nameplates vs my own
I can't seem to seperate them so that I only see relevant information I want
I dont really understand 
You can black/whitelist buffs/debuffs
yea, but whatever I whitelist will show up on my personal bar when I don't care (if for whatever reason it gets put on me)
you can't seem to whitelist stuff for your personal bar, but not for enemy and vice versa
Oh idk, i dont show friendly nameplates ever. I might have the same "problem" tbh
is there a third name plate add on? Threat Plates, Plater, and ?
i thought there was a thrid but I can't think of it atm
KUI
thanks
and does anyone know if default blizard nameplates do threat? I think the blizzard UI tracks only relavent buffs/debuffs
ElvUI would require a TON of customizing for me to get it to a useable spot. there were just too many things I found hard to get right with it
they do threat to an extent yeah
red if you have it amber if you are losing it sorta thing
I just need the Red/Green/Yellow/Blue bars on the plates lol
oh and cast bars
and relavent debuff/buff tracking lol!
I had this Idea that I'd change up my entire UI for Shadowlands and I just can't do it.. .too old, too stuck in my ways
Yet it is worth the years put into it
Plater, elvui nameplates and kui can do threat, marker and whitelisted mob colouring
im wondering why blizzard made most of spell reflects deflects
they should rename the spell
to spell deflect
Wait a sec. Gonna log in and screenshot
modding section
it comes with default plater package iirc
https://wago.io/UKpo0_GbE another good plater mod that adds both important/filler mob colouring for SL dungeons and marker colour change
This may be a dumb question, but if I'm leveling a warrior with prot so I can learn the abilities before I hit max, at around what level can I start tanking in dungeons to level where I'm not hindering the group? (if anyone has experience)
right off the bat when you unlock dungeons
just as before
I meant Elvui for the markers
I deleted plater as it just did a load of the same stuff with a worse interface
As Karton said, straight away. I leveled my warrior through dungeon spamming. You won't hinder the group as everything scales with you so there's no issues
plater is very, very flexible
hey guys, crap prot war here. I have been doing +5 with my friends and have been having a hard time holding threat. what do you think i am messing up?
what talents are you using?
and what are you using for threat?
I'm putting my money on "not using revenge as offensive rage spender"
literally the most common things
UF?
Score one for me \o/
unstoppable force
its not a good talent
TC took a pretty big nerf this expansion
so its really not good for threat generation
plus TC isnt highest prio anymore even during avater and its hard to weave in
so basically 2 things
take raveger talent
it will give you more rage and more damage
and secondly spend some rage into revenge
as its our hard hitting aoe ability this time exapnsion and you should even outside its proc
Spell reflecting the scythe on the last boss of Theater feels amazing but i'm afraid they'll nerf that
you still want to use TC aften as you can for rage and aoe stuff but your probably just not using revenge enough
if anything they will just make it a deflect
Doubt it tbh
but i want to do those 12K damages π
didnt signet use to work with ravager?
Try running ravager/bolster. Youβll have a better time. π
nope
Are the guides on wowhead/icyveins wrong just not up to date? New info being found recently? I see all of them pretty much cookie cutter you in to Unstopable and Anger Management
Early beta it did
thats so sad
Yeh
There are 2 builds highlighted on both guides.
Its just a guide, not a bible. I know IV recommends two different talent setups. Mwahi said he might update the IV one to exclude UF
pretty sure the icy veins one doesnt push you into UF MA
im looking at the icy one now its just question mark on all 3
On the Easy mode page i still have AM/UF for the familiarity .
Not everyone is uber raiders/m+ people.
i would pref not let my mm hunter die then be ez
I have RAvager/Bolster in the m+ section tho
is he not misdirecting you tho?
Make him md π
the wowhead guide is misleading in that respect
Can you dodge Stavros lunge attack as a tank if you time it right?
No
do i just use at start of rotation like others for ravanger
that build is less defensive and does less damage so its technically not the offensive vuild ither @haughty cosmos
you can block it tho
Does Shield Block mitigate it if I turn around?
Ty all, will take a look tonight
can't block if you're not facing
Ok cool I'mma try that today. That attack hits pretty hard. Wiped on them for like 3 hours yesterday thankfully it was not fault of the squishy prot warrior lol
misread that, yeah as long as you turn it'll block
Tankswap on one stack if u have to
because of essences and everything else you had and AM reducing everything it was ez mode snoose fest, but strong
Nah not snoozefest
pvp π
Was epic as FUCK
I dont like pressing 1 button just my opinion
You didnt
Okay so In my various mythic+ runs I've definitely felt more in control of my own survivability and threat with Ravager and Bolster instead of Unstoppable Force and Anger Management.
A part of me is kind of sad, but also a part of me recognizes that it's so much more enjoyable to have more valuable cooldowns at your disposal for each pack.
But also, 21 mythic+ runs so far and I've gotten 1 item, so despite having even done a 10 (not on time) I'm still a lowly 181
"fun!"
at least it was an ilvl 200 shield
so i got that going for me
fat loot
So do we have any hope today? No bones throwed at us?
Why would i throw a bone
whatβs ur raider io @deft vessel
is there stats weights anywhere?
i mean numerically
No
I just told them to you
Numerical weights don't exist for tanks
Nor dps
Nor healers
hm alright
Stat weights are an outdated system from before simming was a thing
so lets say 197 neck with haste/vers vs a 200 neck with crit mastery
197
Haste
Cuz it's neck
Neck, ring and trinkets dont follow that rule
ok yeah thast what i wanted to make sure
On rings, Necks and trinkets the ilvl rule does not apply due to the lack of mainstat
Trinkets are completely exempt entirely
cool cool
I just hate that I'm forced to kite
he's hella right about like
all you have to do in M+
is pull 3 mobs at a time, dont die, and you time the key
I don't know about any of you, but I started tanking because I watched videos in TBC of paladins pulling everything, healing from blocks with figurine of the colossus
I want to facetank everything
all the tanks are close in balance, but all the tanks are kinda bad
My favorite part of m+ is being able to pull four packs in dos night fae area. Makes me feel alive again
You kill 20 mobs and get 3% haha
β
But i feel you. It's all physical damage. it feels so good.
Please dont say that...
UF is dead
he do be spittin facts yeah, i just hope people actually listen
dont play

but the m+ single-cell organism brains tend to organize in single file
the truth?
UF is pretty suboptimal
Couldnt be much further
what?
i can go pretty far if u want me to π³
its literally the worst talent in the row
Na
Subcreation provides statistical analysis of Mythic+ dungeons in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, using the raider.io API, and provides summaries of the top talents, covenants, soulbinds, conduits, legendaries, gear, enchants, and gems used in Mythic+, as well as in raids using the Warcraft Logs API.
and?
Its pretty much the most used build
your build is only highly group dependent btw
@gentle trellis thats only because darkee is playing it
look at their comps too
tclap is weak AF, UF isn't even worth running with tlord's
And me
that doesnt mean its good
yeah but are you doing 14s Scarr
if you're running fire mage + mm + boomkin you obviously don't need high sblock uptime since everything melts
And I personally prefer it over Ravaj
you just need dmg to establish threat and kite
its the most used build, because darkee played 35 keys with it
He good boy
bad troll is bad

troll?
Hola prot qtpies
halo
hi
Good morning guys where can I get a better shield ? Where drop from. If anybody can help me with this.
huh really shocked there was no tank adjustments
is there a place to casually play prot with venthyr (saying spamming m7 for example?) i found my self dying hardtime, but not sure if it's my fault or healers, i'm not pulling too much either, but mobs hits like a truck x.x, should i always have some kind of mitigation (like IP + SB at the same time?, or just 1 of them is enough?)
kind of need to know what shield you have on, but looking in the dungeon journal gives you drops from dungeons, also the raid has loot
conquest vendor
I only have a 158 Ilvl one. Thank you @steel mauve and @sweet summit
@arctic wasp keep IP going, kiting is great, make sure your group is interrupting and stunning mobs, and cycle your cool downs on add packs.
if u get 450 conquest you can buy an ilvl 200 shield thats a huge upgrade! @charred hinge
Perfect @sweet summit thank you for the info I really appreciate it
thanks!, so maybe i'm missing some kiting, i always try to have a hard CD for the start of the pull to generate aggro, but maybe i should kite once that cd is off and keep IP going, right ?
ummm can be a lot of factors
your play, could be using mitigation wrong SB for physical damage and if u have extra rage then IP on top, and IP for magical. as your venthyr you could be using condemn on AOE which is a no no tbh.
group play, you will get chunked by magic damage like any other tank so your group and you need to cc and inturpt etc
some talents can help you with rage gen for defensive and shut
or a mixture of all 3 factors
i see i was wondering when to use condemn, so prob only on bosses or big solo adds
yep
otherwise its useless as it only give damage reduction against the mob you condemn
correct, in that case IP is way better to dump that extra rage
well revenge, IP and SB
as i find my self generating a lot of rage but not knowing if use it to aggro or to mitigate, i need to improve that
what legendaries are ppl usin in m+ lately?
the wall
Thunderlords
thunderlord
@wispy tundra @jagged pier thanks for the tips :)!, will try to put them in practice π
what talents are you running as well?
@arctic wasp I made a macro that every time I use SB, I also pop IP. It works wonders, especially when SB keeps procing
I wouldnt do that tbh
I wouldn't do that at all
i followd the guides in icyveins, bolster + ravager
good good
Eh, it works for me @exotic spoke
Highly inefficient. You could use IP when you have a full IP. Wasting rage on it.
^^
I mean, sure it "works" but it doesn't really.
i was using AM + UF but i read that bolster + ravager was more defensive so i change it to that
ya thats highly inefficient and will waste an extreme amount of rage
you want t weave in revenge for threat/dmg as well
can ignore pain go beyond 100% of the value or does using it again just reset to max value
Not to mention it will rage starve you
^^
it has a hard cap
i think it's 200 % capped
Ok geez
bolster + ravager is the play even with thunderlords?
all advice shared here is out of the kindness of our hearts
and wanting to see our fellow prot friends do their best
@minor sparrow Yes, even though you can't get full use of thunderlords - you're still getting more damage reduction / damage.
I mean youβre welcome to play what you want we will tell it like it is π
Pretty much what Atticus said. Its that we want everyone to push their limits.
okay cool. I was running those talents without thunderlords and it felt good
fury main trying to get some high keys done this week. even at 198 ilvl and 670 io I was getting declined for alot of 10s. π’
have 198ilvl kek
loot luck he says
190 π
0 heroic gear
I only got one piece from heroic
57 keys done week 1 btw
@mellow patio Im 195. but uh.... I did a fuck ton of keys
didn't do enough
Clip from Lightee7's stream: "Prot Warrior Owns"
https://clips.twitch.tv/SpoopyDiligentSquidFeelsBadMan
@Blizzard said no
i main arms in raid but i find my self having a good time tanking at m+ until i reach 7+ hahaha, but want to improve to main prot for dungeons π
play more
The 15 PF we did at 190 ilvl was a wild ride
20 keys i192 
Lower ilvl is hard mode casuals
I couldnt get higher than a 13. Every single 13 we got was spires.
All my homies hate Spires
its good result
I'm really hoping wall will be as good as I want it to be for tyrannical. Really hated fortify
Tyr is d e a d
spires is pretty hard at least for me
yeah sorry i work until 6pm every day 
Hard for everyone tbh
spires is the hardest ive done so far
spires and DOS seem to be extra rough for me
Dos hard for everybody
theater of pain is a bit rough on some of the packs
spires is worse than siege
DOS is only hard for the inner circle. after the circle its fine.
I honestly feel Pf Is harder than dos but my group are apes
fucking mini zul casters deletes me
PF isnt bad
If you have no CC for the adds you're pretty fucked
I mean, its not Halls easy - but its not bad
PF is nice except for the tentacles
spell reflect needs to be a fucking duration asap not just 1 cast
Halls is definitely a joke
but its the same as in top
But we tried
I do enjoy a fat clap
ye i like hoa too
its like ml but without extra farm
you get % by itself
and bam
boss 1 pack boss boss
like it
81% trash before even doing the first boss
yeh thenu just pop shroud and go straight to 2nd
Lightee confirmed playing prot
if you have rogue ofc
i dont yet π
or a druid, or a night elf that can rez, or a shaman
how competitive are the level 45 talents, thinking about switching from UF to ItF since my haste is super low at the moment im like Ilvl 150 something and no haste prot is feelsbad
and just death run it then
should run Rav
ravager is the better level 45 talent
oh really? interesting
more dps and 60 rage gen every 45 seconds
never seen rav be the go to for prot
ill likely use that once i have a little more gear
it has been before, but not last expac
my 9% haste is p rough
ItF gives you 1.X multiplier on your current haste instead of flat 2/4/6/8/10%.
For example, if you have 20% haste, you will have (1.2 * 1.1 - 1) * 100% = 32% on 5 stacks of ItF
ohhhhh i see
did they change it between bfa and shadowlands?
no
so my 9% would be like, 12 at best
was that way in BfA
i recall it giving more in BFA but i could be wrong, i had to use devestate and quit playing
lmao
it gave you more only because you had much more haste
could be why
and i don't see anything bad in devastate as a separate filler
i just didnt like how that spell felt
ItF was 15% in bfa
now its 10%
ohhh thats right
this too, but you also had much more baseline haste from all the trinkets and stuff
and devestate felt spammy to me, idk didnt like it
my prot warrior never made it out of zandalor questing gear lmao, i didnt have any haste
Should I have more hps than a druid tank?
depends on who much damage you and him is taking tho
I mean its lady inerva
tells me nothing
logs?
druids heal more for more damage taken, where as prot war isnt like that exclusively
I idnt really mean to get a scientific answer lol, just overall
I start tanking the boss
so until the second debuff he doesnt heal much probably
in other words the harder a druid gets hit the more they heal iirc
with indom our healing is p flat amount
ehh its both ways
you have constant damage on you after the first tank swap though. So Id still heal
did you have a bigger health pool then him
indom is % heal
may be part of it, idk tho im just spit balling
Yeah no worries, I was just curious because I never considered warrior to be a "healing" tank
every IP you cast is 4% of your max health healeed
so your 4% is a bit bigger w a 48k health pool
yeah true
yeah
they arent a healing tank, but you just cant take numbers on details into account with out the whole picture, there are a ton of variables that can change the out come of performance
even the healers hps, did they panic top him off, his regen would then be over healing instead of healing
^^^
disc priest, did he keep shields up and prevent actual damage done to him, because the difference in prot war and druid, we also prevent health damage that can never be an over heal with IP, theirs is only self healing
also facts
druid may not have been that efficient with his frenzied regens (i think thats what its called idk bear butt)
oh snap the discord icon sword got a santa hat, i like it
π
at what key level are people having to start kiting a lot? i took big hits up to +4, didn't try much beyond because pug healers have been... interesting.

like
the dudes who kicked me out of the guild
they're salty as fuck right now probably
Doubt it
im guild is one boss ahead
People will still say something stupid
gz
i'm still without a guild
guess this will be forever or until i break and go DPS
I.e. "BuT wE hAvE sElF sUsTaIn TaNk NoW"
or form a new guild with friends if such possibility will arive
Honestly though monk does pipe
the problem is: Self-sustain is meaningless on tanks unless we're talking of DK whos entire mitigation profile is healing back the hits you got, and even than it is not "self-sustain"
