But they also have tools that make that taking more not actually needing more

#

i've got 3 drops out of 15 runs and kinda satisfied

because half of these runs were either bricked or not finished

#

so whats this kiting thing i keep reading? are tanks not able to tank groups anymore?

chilly brook
#

Lots of kiting this xpac because blizz decided tanks need to be paper

dense pivot
#

in super high keys yeah no one has gear for it

high folio
#

ohhh i see

still pagoda
#

@chilly brook i think i will craft some kind of arms pvp lego next. No way i'm pugging the raid right now so...

chilly brook
#

Anytime any tank was "good" in beta they just nerfed it

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

empty nexus
#

what first lego to craft ?

mellow patio
#

Not even super high keys lmao I started kiting consistently at like 11-12

#

14-15 I’m never in there

high folio
#

that makes more sense, i thought you guys were meaning that tanks cant take damage anymore

slate laurel
high folio
#

super high keys makes a little more sense bc of gear

yeah dont have wall yet

Can't have a super best tank in m+ if they all suck amirite? @mellow patio

mellow patio
#

Yesh

#

I am also shit ilvl. Sludgefist eats my lunch with my current gear

#

is there anyone here who tanks m+ but does dps for raid? im wanting to tank m+ but not sure about tanking raid as ive never tanked a raid, also seems hard to find a guild that doesnt have tanks already.

paladin tanks can outheal healers and thats insane tbh

They will be good this tier

tanking raid is 100x easier than m+

Paladin tanks healing means they're not mitigating and probably gonna die

any tips on NW m+? I feel terrible to pick up the adds that spawn on 2nd boss. The warriors will naturally come to me and the mages can be kicked but running/charging around that much is kinda shitty when hes doing necrotic breath after hes following you :U

According to lightees stream tank discords are fuming lmao

mark the 2 mages, hopefully you have ranged interrupt to get them in, move everything to crossbowman

21 keys ilvl 181.... I'm both frustrated that I've had such absolute dog shit luck and am behind on gearing despite all my running of keys and annoyed at everyone else who complains even though they're 10 item levels higher than me with less keys

@fading crypt

There is a mastery reduction right?

the base increase 50%

only in pvp and the duration is increased to compensate

@fading crypt you take kyrian for spear. Everything else comes as a pleasant bonus

why so? if you like night fae why not go night fae?

You can go fae

ah it breaks the channel shield? cool

yeah okay, fair

craggy harness

was the 300% dmg increase to shield party wide?

chilly brook

Anything with a shield it's worth using

oh nm, that's armor not dmg

right

deft vessel
# coral marsh the legendary signet of kinds

To my knowledge it's not worth using the Signet of Tormented Kings on prot, it may cause you to lose control over your character during bladestorm which is a big no no for a tank in any relevant content.

craggy harness
#

or maybe wrong - walking away

plucky shadow
#

also good on the final boss in mists right?

tardy parcel

yep

deft vessel
#

hm okay I defo need to use it more then

maybe a compiled reference would indeed be nice to have as a pin/resource somewhere

Or uhhh

Just throw it at absorbs

whatever you do though, don't get trapped by that theatre of pain tank one

even with 21% haste, it's like 1% of overall healing and dmg

I find just collect trinkets and experiment. it's what i've been doing. I got a Cube as well and that thing is NUTS

deft vessel
#

this is what the back piece looks like, I have a shield equipped and stowed, and that makes me happy (the rest of the mog is different now to match the back piece)

inner harbor

looks like a protractor

deft vessel

I still use a freaking world quest trinket at ilvl 164, the one taht procs often when you get hit and does increased damage and healing for more targets

Any fun M+ prot streamers? Quite like to see some Prot from a higher key perspective.

if you care

It's like 80 dps

OH BY THE WAY

#

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR LOOT SPEC BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR VAULT

formal river
#

That's a fair point. Are people not running bonestorm or something?

void moat

it will lock the loot

#

to the spec you open it with

formal river
#

Leveling BDK right now and it feels great

chilly brook
#

Bonestorm isn't getting buffed

deft vessel
#

makes sense, worked that way with the boxes as well

chilly brook
#

So again

#

Its negligible

#

They could give them a 20% aura buff and they'd still be last place damage likely

void moat
#

@strong forum LMAO i'll come thru fam

deft vessel
#

and yeah, the buffs and nerfs have all been pretty tame to get things slightly closer to each other but not really affect overall balance much

#

like the resto sham 4% nerf, or the 20% mastery nerf on unholy, or the 5% buffs on several DPS specs or 5% nerf on aimed shot and arcane shot

#

all minor, all leading to slightly more in line numbers, nothing major, nothing falling out of the meta

yes

I felt it through all this first week

sick sentinel

i'm watching the OTK stream to learn how to tank raids regardless

Personally I was ok without it but it was stressful and required a lot of tab targeting

It doesn't make sense

when is the 10% threat coming

sonic garden

Today

chilly brook
#

We're supposed to have a 6x modifier

sick sentinel

good

void moat
#

my enhance shaman ALWAYS ripped off me I had to work really hard to keep things

chilly brook
#

But somehow it's possible to have it ripped off you from someone who's doing only 2x your damage

formal river
#

Enhance looks beastly atm

chilly brook
#

Something is bugged somewhere

formal river
#

Yeah thats odd @chilly brook

lethal arrow
#

so i have tanked since vanilla but im finally in a group doing mythic+ and ive gone as far as 7

void moat
#

Enhance is very good. Their major drawback is they get wrecked in mobility

formal river
#

I was losing threat on packs when I was second on dps sometimes

#

Had to tab more

chilly brook
#

Apparently spear doesnt apply tank modifier for example

sick sentinel
#

what spells do we have that are OFF the GCD, i knoq SB, IP SR for sure.

lethal arrow
#

i feel like i have to decide alot between IP and SB

void moat
#

@lethal arrow congrats! i'm so glad. Welcome to the fray!

tulip crane
#

Probably a misplaced decimal somewhere

deft vessel
#

I didn't have too much trouble with threat, after a gcd or two I usually establish it, some bursty classes may rip at the start if I don't stagger cooldowns/pool rage appropriately but beyond that not too bad I think blood dk has a harder time since their damage is lower than prot war's

void moat
#

@lethal arrow are you asking for advice on when to decide between them?

lethal arrow
#

but I never have enough rage

formal river
#

Honestly if you just skull a target it's less of an issue

lethal arrow
#

yeah i guess so

chilly brook
#

I've actually had less problems with blood dk threat wise

#

Despite having significantly lower offense

chilly brook
formal river
#

Blood boil is nice

void moat
#

Use your intution. Paying attention to what's in the pull, if it's mostly attacking you via Meele, then jsut pump a shield block. If it's casting mostly then Ignore pain @lethal arrow

chilly brook
#

Like I said something is broke somewhere

compact stump
#

tricks of the trade and misdirection are required from those 2 classes. them not properly usin those abilities before going nuts instantly on a new pull is the only real time I experience threat issues... and even then, it's temporary.

void moat
#

it's gonna come down to learning and experimenting

deft vessel
#

my impression is entirely anecdotal, I haven't touched blood dk this expansion so far so don't have any personal experience, I just know that threat hasn't been too bad for me on my prot war

chilly brook
#

Because the math doesnt add up

sick sentinel
#

storm bolt or 2 charge in m+?

chilly brook
#

When you're doing 6k dps and someone at 8k is ripping

formal river
#

The only encounter in the raid where it showed was the dance pull. But that was most likely due to dumb dps

chilly brook
#

Priority stun is an extra interrupt

lethal arrow
#

threatyeah i think i am good on when to use but it like i have to take revenge off my bar so i can keep my rage going

deft vessel
#

I still use double charge..... I like it too much 😦

void moat
#

@lethal arrow generally tho you want to keep shield block more often if there' stuff meele'ing you cause pound for pound it mitigates more damage

compact stump
#

tanks do 5x threat for damage as dps classes (buffed to 5.5)

chilly brook
#

Way too much stuff to interrupt

formal river
#

Reverberations! I'm telling you

#

Shockwave op

chilly brook
#

It's not though

#

Storm bolt is objectively better

deft vessel
#

I may just start running that for uptime on shockwave

formal river
#

Shush it's amazing and my baby

sick sentinel
#

okay cool

deft vessel
#

but double chargeeeee thooooooo

void moat
#

I'd still keep Revenge. Just gotta practice using it to dump when you're maxed on rage. Plus it's VERY good for keeping agro in huge groups @lethal arrow

deft vessel
#

rip my baseline mobility ;-;

chilly brook
#

Stormbolt is objectively better than a shorter CD on Shockwave

void moat
#

I can't tell you how often it procs in huge packs

#

that's when it's most useful

lethal arrow
#

yeah i know im just whining lol

void moat
#

hahahah

chilly brook
#

Being able to have an extra interrupt is invaluable

void moat
#

it's okay it's a habit I still have too

#

I just push it too often

#

I wouldn't agree with it being objectively always better. I sometimes run in major meele stacks of DPS

chilly brook
#

The more things they put in that need to be interrupted the more this is true

deft vessel
#

at the end of the day resource and cooldown management is at the core of prot warrior's effectiveness

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lethal arrow
#

my group is like ok good the warlock just passed the tank lol

void moat
#

and having better shockwave is way more useful bc of the way it times together

void moat
#

Like by the time we move onto a new pull it cycles more cleanly

#

is what I mean

compact stump
#

i have 3 weakauras that help me with that.... 1 that tracks uptime of shield block, one that tracks uptime of ignore pain (and it's current absorb amount)... and a third that tracks Rage capping if a demo shout will put me over 100 rage

lethal arrow
#

i dont use weakauras

chilly brook
#

Stuns are used to stop casts mostly in m+

compact stump
#

procs and or avoiding rage capping is pretty much the only time i use revenge

void moat
#

I'm just saying the individual interrupt isn't always the benefit if you have plenty of other tools coming from your other players

sick sentinel
#

i just want to get my 203 item, nice shield or weapon or trinket or helmet plz

formal river
#

@lethal arrow lookup Preach's UI videos.

#

It's super easy to setup

#

And gives you all the auras you need

void moat
#

I think there' something to be said about the compositions you end up in. Not making it objetively the best option in every situation

chilly brook
#

There's no situation where shockwave is better than having an extra priority stun.

compact stump
#

not using weakauras is a handicap imo... you can do fine with it, but they are so damn useful

formal river
#

I like shockwave better. Stunning a whole pack more is juicy

void moat
#

I mean when things go high into the Diminishing return it doesn't help

compact stump
#

can seem complicated at first, and especially to make your own... but with all things, once you get the hang of it it's so good

formal river
#

Use preaches video. Its idiotproof

void moat
#

for instance I run with a shaman and a warlock pretty often (my friends) and we layered our Aoe stuns perfectly

chilly brook
#

You contribute to said DR by shockwaving

void moat
#

having the stun doesn't help us

deft vessel
#

to me it literally comes down to priority stun vs. mobility, I don't consider the shockwave one much, though it may have some usefulness in niche situations, it's just that the priority stun may be the most reliable and have widest use case

chilly brook
#

And shockwave is much worse in a DR situation because its already a super short stun

compact stump
#

i like shockwave for certain dungeon pulls. high key wisp dragon fuckers in Spires for example, very useful

void moat
#

@chilly brook my point is more about how it's just composition dependent. With Shaman stun, Lock stun into my shockwave. There's no room for my single target stun to work

formal river
#

Gives me a lot more options when everything is casting at once

deft vessel
#

and besides, I'm a highmountain tauren, I have an extra stun anyway if really necessary (or an extra kiting tool)

chilly brook
#

And again there are so many super important casts that storm bolt 100% is the move

void moat
#

@chilly brook i'm not saying you're wrong. Just that there's more to the story

formal river
#

Even a .75 shockwave stun gives me time to make distance.

#

And multiple I interrupts

deft vessel
#

yeah, but you have shockwave by default

chilly brook
#

Having more control>less control but more often

deft vessel
#

that's the thing

formal river
#

I can get the CD quite low eith the conduit

deft vessel
#

you don't have storm bolt by default

void moat
#

Yes but as I just described, the comp stuns the mob anyway

deft vessel
#

so you're genuinely gaining an extra crowd control

compact stump
#

imo storm bolt > shockwave most of the time. I think there are niche circumstances that swapping could be best.

deft vessel
#

be like me, run double charge peepoHappy

formal river
#

To each his own. I like rumbling earth plus the conduit

compact stump
#

like the one i mentioned literally right before that one

formal river
#

Can have it up every pack

deft vessel
#

in high enough keys you have it up every pack anyway

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

chilly brook
#

You'd literally take double time over rumbling earth if you dont need storm bolt

formal river
#

I disagree

#

But it's ok yo disagree. Different playstyle

void moat
#

I mean just looking at the top Mythic+'s on my server there's people running between both in the talents. I'm just saying thinking of things as always the best doesn't leave room for adapting and critically thinking about your comps and what suits your play comfortably

#

yes you are correct tho

#

having that extra stun is very very handy

chilly brook
#

And lightee said itf over ravager always

void moat
#

but in a coordinated group, it's just another CC lost in the DR

still pagoda
compact stump
#

long convo short, both have their uses and going with either won't necessarily cripple you... time and experience will tell you what you wanna run when, based on playstyle and understanding

chilly brook
#

Arguments from authority dont mean much

void moat
#

Exactly Kade

still pagoda
chilly brook
#

Basically

formal river
#

I run run ravager rumbling earth and am quite happy.

#

Lol

void moat
#

I'm not appealing to authority, Just that there are people succeeding with both

lethal arrow
#

i dont why people cant rapid cc iots just communication it should nt slow anything

void moat
#

is the data

chilly brook
#

You can succeed in the same keys without covenants

lethal arrow
#

in mythics anyways

chilly brook
#

Why would you though

compact stump
#

there's a big difference in pugging and running with guildies though that might also play a major part to people talent preference

chilly brook
#

Just because you can run something less optimal doesnt mean you should

compact stump
#

shockwave has better carry potential if your group sucks

deft vessel
#

unrelated (ish) - what interrupt trackers do you lot use nowadays, the one I used in BfA broke and I can't find any that I like

void moat
#

I would say certainly in pugging Griff's right. Having that extra hammer is probably very huge

#

since most pugs aren't gonna coordinated layered CC properly

craggy harness
#

hmm, park it for another 2 hours.

chilly brook
compact stump
#

100% agree, just an option to consider if you're about that #PugLife

chilly brook
#

Pug life makes storm bolt even more important

compact stump
#

it's easy, requires zero coordination from the others, no reliance upon your teammates

chilly brook
#

Because you cant trust

#

Which means more control is better than less

compact stump
#

we're boiling down to playstyle again though

chilly brook
#

The CD of shockwave is already pretty low

void moat
#

I agree. It comes to suiting your peers

chilly brook
#

The reduction from rumbling earth isn't that amazing

void moat
#

As I said, in my friend groups i run with it jsut rounded out the Cd better for each pack pull

#

that's why I use it

chilly brook
#

This isn't really a playstyle thing

void moat
#

That is tho. it's a composition and playstyle

chilly brook
#

More control is more valuable than less

#

Period

void moat
#

but I can't use hammer because everything goes into DR 3

#

so it's not helpful

Just getting into Shadowlands now. Been playing a prot warrior for about 10 years now and I've been hearing a lot of mixed things in regards to their performance right now. I'd like to play prot warrior for Shadowlands but most people are telling me any other tank is better currently. Is there any truth to this?

vocal bison
#

I haven't heard a good Itf argument over ravager, why was that streamer saying that? I could see for single target dps and CE raiding maybe for better SB reduction?

compact stump
#

i like UF over ravager for when i'm blasting easy content to help guildies

#

that's about it

chilly brook
void moat
#

@dense spade I'd say play to your strengths. Know what they are and play them to a razor edge. Sharpen it. It is genuenly still good. I've seen plenty of tanks performing high keys well. Numbers don't tell a full story. It's just a meta thing. If a tank is 2% better they will tell you the other one is garbage. Do what feels comfortable to you and do it well and you'll be okay!

chilly brook
#

DR makes shockwave less useful than Stormbolt by far

formal river
#

@chilly brook it's a playstyle thing. You cant spreadsheet everything lol. I like rumbling earth more with the conduit

#

There isnt an objectively correct thing a week in and that's fine

chilly brook
#

This isn't something new.....

formal river
#

Everyone who days different is trying to sell you something

compact stump
#

there's rarely an objectively correct pathway for things like this

#

people just get lost in their own sauce

chilly brook
#

We've had this since they removed rumbling earth from shockwave

#

It's almost never been the pick over storm bolt

#

This expansion wont change that

void moat
formal river
#

Ii counter with I like it more than stormbolt and it works better for me

void moat
#

I was not arguing a point ever that you were wrong

#

just adding to it

formal river
#

That has just as much credence as you

#

Lol

dense spade
#

@void moat Thanks, even though I already figured that was the case I think I needed to hear that. Another thing I'm seeing is Devastator is the recommended talent for first tier. As somebody that hates replacing an active ability (devastate) with a passive (devastator) Would I be shooting myself in the foot taking punish instead for a more active, higher APM playstyle?

formal river
#

Dont know why you are trying so hard to be correct. There is no correct here. People play differently

honest plinth
#

storm bolt is bis btw

deft vessel
# compact stump i like UF over ravager for when i'm blasting easy content to help guildies

This has been my experience. In easier content I feel comfortable running Anger Management with Unstoppable Force, but in higher keys I tend to run Bolster and Ravager, Ravager allows more control over threat and in general more gradual threat generation available for more packs, compared to a burst from Avatar. Avatar also feels less impactful without the azerite trait that popped a free IP with it (and extra mstery). In short - bolster + ravager leads to more consistent performance in higher keys in my experience.

chilly brook
#

I dont see how this is an argument

sweet summit

storm bolt is objectively better for m+

not meta among 0.1% => unplayable shit, regardless of actual reasons 0.1% plays something and applicability of this reasons to your situation 🙂

m+

it's..not?

ZUGZUG

deft vessel

haste --> versa --> crit = mastery

glacial ivy

atleast thats what icy veins say

sweet summit

damage and parry
altho vers and crit is basically equal after item level and haste

formal river
#

Vers helps with the bleeds/magic a lot

dense pivot
#

I guess it's good dps stat? compaed to vers

void moat
#

@dense spade I don't think you would be shooting yourself in the foot. Just look to understand what makes the talents strong and where. For instance Punish doesn't help very much in AoE packs that come very often in Mythic plus etc. But ravager does some incredible things in packs and is worth picking up. Been seeing it in high keys a lot. Just get out there and experiment. Numbers don't tell the full story is always what I try to tell people.

compact stump
#

crit strike affects parry

#

that's why

glacial ivy
#

okey

#

thanks

formal river
#

If only revenge wasnt ppm

deft vessel
#

all the stats are roughly okay in my experience, versa covers more gaps in the spec than crit/mastery does I feel like, haste is always king cus shield block uptime, the rest are fine

glacial ivy
#

and what guys would you run for m+ unstoppable force and anger managment

void moat
#

@dense spade I will say tho in devistator I do find myself not castin ganything on some GCDs

glacial ivy

or ravager and bolster

formal river

I'm liking vers more because SB helps so much withvphys anyway

on high keys ravager and bolster, low keys uf and anger management

it takes away my weakest skill to give me free procs of my strongest skill

Devastator is stonks

📈

vocal bison

i'm saying it sucks trying to remember to use the active, so i use the passive

void moat
#

Yeah like Kade said. I have SO MUCH other stuff to worry about that taking it off entirely is very nice

chilly brook
#

You should use the passive anyways

void moat
#

I will say Punish rocks on stuff like Sludgefist tho

modern brook
#

Punish is 😴

compact stump
#

tbh, early in the xpac I found myself still mashing my devastator keybind subconciously

chilly brook
#

Doubtful you actually get any real mileage out of punish on sludge

#

Tbh

deft vessel
#

I definitely mash devastate (while using devastator) an unreasonable amount of time

void moat
#

that % reduction adds up pretty hard throughout the fight when it's tight

chilly brook
#

You're best off just swapping with your cotank depending on what you have up assuming they're not a blood DK

arctic snow
#

is it just me, but i feel like stacking haste is wrong? i feel like having well-rounded stats (and just going for highest ilvl items) is the move

deft vessel
#

doesn't devastator + the wall lead to more shield slams on average --> more shield wall?

sweet summit
#

yep

void moat
#

if you can always have it at one stack that's like 100k less damage you're taking in the fight almost

deft vessel
#

it's not at all wrong, haste is best, you want as high as you can for as high uptime on shield block as you can

#

shield block is your lifeline

chilly brook
#

But you could just "reduce" sludge damage even more by swapping based on who has stuff available on him

arctic snow
#

i mean its the best stat - but i feel like ilvl is supreme... whether the item has crit or mastery, etc.

dense spade
#

I've just always been opposed to the idea that a talent making an active ability into passive while making it stronger. Same issue with demon blades or whatever on havoc. It just feels bad. More buttons should = more better imo. That and empty globals feel poopy.

chilly brook
#

I.e. hold him with shield block then when you have nothing the DH takes him with spikes, meta, brand then you take him back etc.

compact stump

it's just a HUGE change from BFA

both of those things

ROFL

modern brook
#

I added many > this time so maybe we can stop saying it :^(

chilly brook
#

And you're also losing out on a significant rage gain by not running devastator which you're not factoring in to your 100k figure

void moat

That's fair Griff

chilly brook

Because 100k isn't too difficult to hit with IP if you have the rage

How do you deal with that last mini boss right before the last boss in HoA. Without hero to just nuke him down before he heals it takes forever to kill all his adds.

deft vessel
#

I can't remember what mini boss you even mean peepostudy

void moat
#

yeah comps do play a role in that too. Some AOE heavy groups can just cleave down everything hyper fast

fierce tendon
#

One with adds before last boss, whole room

neat root
#

Yeah last boss is np. It's that guy before him that's fucks everything up. Gotta make sure I fill that last dps slot with lust then or bring shitty drums

deft vessel
#

oh where he drains them?

fierce tendon
#

Ye

void moat
#

yeah tha tone

deft vessel
#

ah ye

void moat
#

I like to instruct my DPs to save their heavy DPS CDs for him and lust and burn him

#

just BLOW him up

#

should work well this week since it's not fortified

deft vessel
#

can you kill him before his first drain? I'm not entirely sure if the drain is timed or percentage based

#

or do you always need to kill the neutral mobs before you kill him?

fierce tendon
#

You can but not really in higher keys

void moat
#

have to start after his first drain

arctic snow
#

anyone else prioritizing the 184 pvp trinket with haste and strength passive?

void moat
#

You can do it in higher keys

vocal bison
#

i have never tried - but can you just kill the adds before him so he has nothing to drain?

fierce tendon
#

dps check is pretty high no?

void moat
#

not really

#

just gotta save your big DPS CD's

#

that's really the main thing

coral marsh
#

guys im thinking about switching from venth to kyrian and just main tank again

#

if i switch now before the reset

compact stump
#

i love kyrian. spear go brrrrr

void moat
#

Sure! if that feels comfortable!

coral marsh
#

will it go through tomorrow?

fierce tendon
#

I also didn't know you had to do after the 2nd channel, will try that next time to save time

void moat
#

Man sometimes I wish I could use two monitors for WoW

#

so I could put other stuff on the 2nd window

sturdy trench
#

has any1 tried signet as prot?

#

apparently ravager doesnt work

shut summit
#

it doesnt

void moat
#

I haven't tried it. It seems scary since if you bladestorm you could get rekt in that window

shut summit
#

you can block and stuff during bladestorm

sturdy trench
#

why doesnt it work as ravager tho

void moat
#

It's the lack of being able to do everything else tho that's scary

shut summit
#

can use demo / block / ip etc iirc

jagged pier
fierce tendon
#

all your shouts and drs you can use

sturdy trench
#

but it works as arms/fury

jagged pier
#

but lets be fair 3secs of BS or 3 secs of Reck is just for the memes

modern brook
void moat
#

Yes but I can't stun, I can't pummel, I can't leap etc.

deft vessel
#

there's genuinely better legendaries than the signet

chilly brook
#

@shut summit you running itf in keys?

void moat
#

I guess I could macro in a cancel on bladestorm into my spells tho

#

hmmm

shut summit
#

that or rav

deft vessel
#

when you can use only one, there's no reason not to use the wall, thunderlord or some of the utility ones

void moat
#

that's a thought

chilly brook
#

When would you swap off ravager

deft vessel
#

if running anger management 😛

void moat
#

Remind me again which spells you can get off the signet

sturdy trench
#

the thing is if i want to have signet for dps and then do tanking, i would expect for ravager to proc it the same way it procs for arms

modern brook
#

Yeah; ok.

sturdy trench
#

like thats a claer bug for me

modern brook
#

YEah it is

deft vessel
#

report as bug, see if it gets fixed

#

I still wouldn't use signet over some of the other options right now

sturdy trench
#

why hasnt any1 reported it 3 weeks into the expansion then

ionic fern
#

People have.

shut summit
#

it worked on beta, got changed to not work, it was reported and nothing has changed

open monolith
#

Friendly reminder for when servers come up... Do your weekly quest for 213 heroic nathria gear BEFORE opening the vault :)

deft vessel
#

if it's indeed bugged then people most likely have

fierce tendon
#

Blizz takes a while lol

gritty halo
#

Why Sock?

void moat
#

huh?

sturdy trench
#

lol blizz just literally shits on warrirors then

modern brook
#

so you dont take teh same slot

fierce tendon
#

oh shit yeah

sturdy trench
#

eveyrhting sucks or isnt working

open monolith
#

Otherwise you might pick something from the vault that then gets replaced by the 213 immediately

#

If you get the 213 first, you can pick something else

deft vessel
#

it's literally not been that bad, stop dramatizing Theorodrem

void moat
#

which weekly quest again?

#

is that the maw quest?

#

I forget which one you're refering to

open monolith
#

4 weekly mythic dungeons

void moat
#

OH

open monolith
#

It's mythic dungeon week

void moat
#

is that a thing?

deft vessel
#

ah it's mythic dungeon week

open monolith
#

Not every week

#

It rotates

void moat
#

Is that even in shadowlands?

open monolith
#

Yes

deft vessel
#

I wasn't paying attention to what it is this week, I just know the week that ends now is battlegrounds

formal river
#

Didnt even know about that

void moat
#

but sock does have a major point. Be sure to check your other sources of loot first

formal river
#

Is that an oribos thing @open monolith

void moat
#

Does opening the vault cause you to have to pick an item immediately?

open monolith
#

I.... Don't remember where you pick up the quest

void moat
#

or can you open it and walk away

formal river
#

Time to google.

open monolith
#

It's usually the major city of each expac

teal kettle
#

Does it matter what piece u craft your legendary on? 🙂

open monolith
#

So should be in oribos

#

@teal kettle yes

teal kettle
#

@open monolith what piece should I craft? 😮

fierce tendon
#

In oribis from the same guys who give the weekly pvp quest pretty sure

open monolith
#

Which legendary?

modern brook
#

P sure u just grab it from dungeon journal @formal river
