hi guys how good is [Darkmoon Deck: Indomitable] for prot war? 18k in my server is worth? my focus is m+

@strong forum I hate you

I'm rocking the nathria norm shield

At least it looks sexy

Hmm. Ive used that one and everytime I enter combat I get a pop up error. Rip

Is the overhead slash nerf on spires first boss live? If so how is it now?

strong forum
#

its live yes

pale lotus
#

Sweet! And if you are 1800 rated you can just buy that 220 ilvl gear straight from the vendor?

strong forum
#

no you need to buy the conquest gear

#

and then upgrade it with honor

tight tree
#

its sweet gear, got neck and ring, upped to 220, mad vers on them

pale lotus
#

Damn I need to get on it

tight tree
#

i do pvp mainly, and tank as a side gig, and haste vers PvP gear fits perfectly for both

pale lotus
#

I raid so I’m a venthyr loser 😦

#

As arms*, tank m+ cause it’s fun

man wish i could go venthyr or necro, but spear is BiS

So good for pvp and tanking. Now I have an ability I barely have rage for

wicked lantern
#

So how are you guys doing the first boss of Spires. Do you guys try and keep them stacked or let the bird fly off and separate?

pale lotus
#

I think you can stack them now that overhead only hits one person

open monolith
#

"You now need to PvP for long periods of time to get the best PvE gear"

#

Thanks Blizzard, very cool

lavish oracle
#

Necro feels too on the nose for warrior

open monolith
#

You could always stack the two

#

and you always should have

#

and should continue to do so

#

they share health so cleave is like double damage

lavish oracle
#

How hard is 1800 as prot?

#

Pretty hard?

anyone got a WA or smthing for bosses energy bar? cause i cant find anything in plater/elvui to make it more visible or an extra bar or w/e

😐 RIP

ember inlet
#

Thats a bit dumb tbh

nimble drift
#

In rbg

#

You can easily get 1800

#

As prot

ember inlet
#

1800 for 220 gear

nimble drift
#

Just be solid at holding a node and calling incs

#

Its super easy to setup macros at the start of the game for inc calls

ember inlet
#

Anyone tanked heroic hungering destroyer ?

nimble drift
#

Yup

#

What about it

jagged pier
ember inlet
#

When he puts that circle around you, what do you do ? I just stand still and deflect that orb with reflect

nimble drift
#

Yup

#

If you're low health I'd reflect the expunge initial damage

#

And then hit the orb l8r with reflect when you're not tanking

ember inlet
#

Basically that is what I was doing

nimble drift
#

It's dangerous to tank the initial expunge damage if you're low HP and have no defensive, because the healers are all spread out as well

#

So that's typically the most dangerous time as a tank

#

Especially of the boss is meleeing you

ember inlet
#

So I still have that raider skills in me :D

open monolith
#

i mean, tbh, i don't think a prot warrior should be soaking orbs anyway

nimble drift
#

But ya. If you're high health reflect the orb after. If you're low reflect the expunge and deal with the orb after next time reflect is up

ember inlet
#

I usually asked for external when I was dry, when healers spread as well

#

Sock, isn't soaking

#

Heroic mechanic

open monolith
#

yes, but why have a tank with shit cooldowns do it vs a dps class with invulns

ember inlet
#

You will get the orb as tank

open monolith
#

like hunter using turtle + cheetah

nimble drift
#

Because the hunter needs to deal with the orbs behind the boss

#

You can clear your own orb with reflect

ember inlet
#

Just that

open monolith
#

oh yeah if it's just one orb, whatever ez pz

ember inlet
#

Yea, you just leave one

nimble drift
#

That fight kinda feels like sludgefist. Hungering destroyer TRUCKS

#

Prot is so good for it

ember inlet
#

Love prot in raid

#

Had a prot co tanking today

#

Prot pally

#

Damn his hp is just flying up and down

#

PW is as stoic as a man can get

nimble drift
#

With our active mitigation the big hits in raid are EASY to deal with.

ember inlet
#

Well I tend to raid with pugs, so I am forced to use my CDs alot

valid summit

run AM with the wall or keep Bolster in raids?

Only vdh can do 10s, dontcha know

Maybe ravager on sun king

I would love a 220 shield

but I'll wait until the vault gifts it to me

because I won't be getting it from PvP or mythic raids

Once I get 1800 from BGs I'll have my 220 shield

open monolith

the vault offers you a 226 hakkar trinket and a 226 shield

what do you do

nimble drift
#

Hakkar trinket

hakkar cuz you cant get it from pvp

Its special but I can get shield from pvp

Ya he typed it first

Legit tho icyvein says lots of different stuff. What are the 2 BIS BIS trinkets for raid and m+

The hakkar trinket and what

i assume denathrius trinket

we can hope that the mouth breathing metachaser tier-listers will change their mind about warrior when they see all the WF guilds running one

regal yoke
#

Guys I want to ask ya something. I want to try out tanking for the first time and I'm drawn towards a warrior. However, everywhere i see (icyveins, wowhead etc) it says that warrior is the worst tank and cant compete with a DH for example. Is it that bad or its not that big of a problem? Im not aiming for mythic raiding or very high end m+ keys, just wanna have some fun with friends. Thanks and sorry if its inappropiate to ask this here.

open monolith
#

Play warrior if you want to play warrior

strong forum
#

All tanks are very much possible to be played on almost every level of play

regal yoke
#

I know that, but sometimes the community is a bit toxic and avoids "underperforming" classes

strong forum
#

Sometimes is good

#

Always

open monolith
#

okay, well, the community hasn't changed

#

play what you want, and if that is too mitigating of a factor for you, play something else

cyan grail
#

but do you see a possibility of warrior getting super strong later on (highkeys?)

open monolith
#

never base your decision on playing a class around what you THINK it MIGHT be in the future.

cyan grail
#

i am concerned about less physical dmg incoming in keys

open monolith
#

bruh look at your incoming damage on any given dungeon run

long phoenix
#

having some threat issues with my ape paladin in my group any tips?

open monolith
#

ask him to burst a few seconds later than he is currently bursting.

#

or use more revenge in the beginning of a pool (which may result in your healer having a heart attack)

long phoenix
#

yeh i have been doing that but even after t-clap 2 revenge he is still ripping

open monolith
#

or pool rage at the end of a pull so that you may open the next one with mitigation AND revenge.

#

mark something with a skull.

#

make sure he targets the skull.

#

if he is just going apeshit on a mob you aren't focusing either A) you need to get better at spreading your shield slams around to solidify threat on everything or B) he needs to stop being an ape and focus the right targets.

#

and even if he does rip a mob off you, you have taunt on a fairly low CD 😮

#

if he is ripping everything.... i don't know what to tell you. I have not experienced similar issues.

long phoenix
#

yeah just gonna have to tell him not to chimp out every pull like gimme a cpl gcds

open monolith
#

Nobody should be ripping off of you if you are using Spear / Ravager early.

long phoenix
#

venthyr 😦

open monolith
#

ah you fucked up

long phoenix
#

it's offspec

#

but yeah

#

it's ruff

open monolith
#

save ravager for pulls I guess

#

toss ravager on the group, charge in, T Clap

#

if you open with ravager the first tick or two should solidify your threat

#

I wonder how many people who come in here feel giga squishy because they don't know that you can't block mobs behind you

slate vessel
#

How accurate is the Icy Veins guide for Prot?

open monolith
#

yes

slate vessel
#

Like I've been debating swapping to Ravager since my only leggo that works in Prot is Signet

open monolith
#

doesn't work with ravager

slate vessel
#

damn

open monolith
#

but ravager is an extremely good talent for m+ anyway

#

you should probably be using ravager.

slate vessel
#

Unstoppable Force still seems like the go-to for threat gen

open monolith
#

nope

#

ravager for dungeons, ITF for raid

#

imo

slate vessel
#

Still Devastator and Booming Voice?

#

and Anger Management over Repercussions?

open monolith
#

Anger management for DPS, Bolster for mitigation

#

Booming voice hard yes, unless you desperately need the snap aggro of dragon roar

#

devastator yes

slate vessel
#

Devastator feels so hollow compared to when they originally added it

open monolith
#

devastator = more shield slam resets = happy warrior

slate vessel
#

it used to also give a bunch of extra rage on it's own and did a not insignificant amount of damage

patent cairn
#

Any good WA for tracking SB uptime and cooldowns ?

autumn narwhal
#

just make one with a premade icon and add SB as the buff

open monolith
#

or download the Luxthos warrior core / utilities / 3rd one

that has everything

that one

you have to download the utilities and dynamic parts as well, but i love it.

#

I've tanked like 3 or 4 dungeons today where people just die to dumb stuff even after I explain it to them

autumn narwhal
#

Blizzard have created a culture where 75% of content you can faceroll - when it comes to doing the other 25% people dont have a fucking clue

wheat sleet
#

and someone ends up leaving/DCing so we don't even get a clear

open monolith
#

yeah

#

only way i've gotten past that is by routinely being vocal and friendly in groups, and making friends to put on my friends list

#

I now have a loose group of 3 - 5 players that I can routinely play with. Much better than the usual pugs

patent cairn
#

@open monolith it doesnt have covenant ability, and adequate SB uptime timer/bar. Im using that right now

open monolith
#

it does have covenant ability, so you're wrong on that

#

and I guess I disagree on what you consider adequate SB uptime

patent cairn
#

Like IP bar

open monolith
#

it makes the SB icon glow with a CD swipe on it, and you can always edit the WA to also show remaining duration in text

dense umbra
#

What is best weapon enchant? celestial or lightless?

open monolith
#

I believe the difference is tiny and celestial is gigacheaper

dense umbra
#

ah ok, ty

patent cairn
#

No coven ability...

open monolith
#

enter combat

#

and it will appear above shield slam

#

I literally use it myself 😉

patent cairn
#

Oh.. Im stupid then

open monolith
#

not stupid

#

just.... misinformed 😉

#

if you want to see the remaining duration on Shield Block, just find the WA in there for shield block and in the text area put %.... hmmm

#

I actually don't know which % it is

#

but if you hover over the field it should give you the list of options

#

I find the text-less version to be adequate

they make legendaries non trasnmoggable?

they usually unlock them for transmog in the next expansion

it's basically free as prot

warrior is easy overall

autumn narwhal
#

first week i found it hard as Arms

shadow fog
#

Good. Guess the next question is what memory fo I want to grind for.

open monolith
#

if you primarily raid, The Wall

#

the Wall is amazing in raid and still good for m+

#

if you primarily m+, Thunderlord

#

thunderlord is really really good in m+, but not very good in the raid for fights without adds

#

The Wall is your "good for everything" go-to

golden pollen
#

arm is easy, i did mine pre nerf with arms

#

u just have to abuse ignore pain and ignore pain animas

shadow fog
#

I was thinking thunder lord to. I'll mostly be doing mythics and maybe raids if my work schedule changes.

autumn narwhal
#

i took thunderlord

#

whats the trick to torghast as prot? pull big?

#

No

#

Pull small

So for M+ is Thunderlord still god or have we gone to worshipping a new M+ leggo?

open monolith
#

both thunderlord and wall are good

some might argue that wall is better for certain dungeons with super high magic damage (de other side)

drifting sky
#

Never gonna be pugging super high mythic so I’m just sticking with thunderlords

spark mortar
#

Yeah I got Wall atm.

Going to go make a T-Lord then.

knotty elbow
#

So I'm mainly a dps warrior, but I've been finding myself running keys (7-10 range) with some of my guildies as a tank. I have no plans to switch from Venthyr, but should I craft a proper prot legendary at 190 or just stick with my higher level Signet?

For those levels you'll be fine with Signet.:)

it works on ravager for arms because ravager is a replacement of bladestorm.

the #1 prot warrior is not the #1 prot warrior because he uses a certain legendary

odd ridge
#

so for arms thats a BIS lego?

#

maybe thats what he uses on arms then

open monolith
#

yes

lofty thistle
#

Its bis arms and bis fury aoe leggo

odd ridge
#

so hes #1 prot war in m+ and mains a arms legendary lol

open monolith
#

that's because prot has shit legendaries in general

#

so whether or not you use the BEST one isn't gonna make a huge difference

odd ridge
#

any1 know why it doesnt work on prots ravager?

#

seemss racist

lofty thistle
#

It still procs on avatar and has dps benefits

odd ridge
#

was hoping it worked on prots ravager cuz thatd be sweet as heck

open monolith
#

probably because ravager is a replacement for bladestorm on arms

#

and it specifically says it works on "avatar, recklessness, and bladestorm"

#

does it work on talented Avatar for arms?

lofty thistle
#

Yeah

open monolith
#

well, then that IS dumb and probably bugged

odd ridge
#

yeah if it works on avatar and bladestorm for arms but not ravager and avatar for prot then its bugged?

#

cuz I rlly wanna bladestorm ravager packs on my prot : D

open monolith
#

can you even block during bladestorm?

odd ridge
#

I think so idk tho

#

dont see why not

#

Even if recklessness procs, 10 secs of 20% more crit and 100% more rage generation means shield slam gives 40 rage instead of 20 so every shield slam is a free IP pretty OP and if avatar procs free 20% more dmg

#

if they fixed it to have ravager work for prot that might be a BIS legendary for M+

open monolith
#

maybe for keys that you absolutely don't need any additional defensive value, sure

ionic fern
odd ridge
#

best defense is a good offense, if u kill a whole pack because ur tank becomes a godly dps then gggg

open monolith
#

best defense is a good offense when the incoming damage isn't crippling

open monolith
#

go tank a +14 fortified with less than 200 ilvl and tell me that the best defense ISNT more defense, lol

lofty thistle
#

I tank with it becuse its all I have right now and I pretty much cancel the bladestrom everytime it casts. Feels pretty awful to tank with

open monolith
#

oh yeah that's the other part

#

it only procs for 4 seconds

lofty thistle
#

Getting reck feels nice though

odd ridge
#

does the bladestorm proc generate rage? prob not thatd be op

lofty thistle
#

Yeah I know but it doesn't feel like you generate rage in those 4 seconds as you would to shield slam and tclap.

sullen owl
#

Also he could just be wearing arms spec atm. I have both my arms and prot legendary

odd ridge
#

if you cast avatar is there a chance it procs ravager if ur talented it?

#

anyone know?

lofty thistle
#

As arms u get all 3 random procs.
As prot you get reck or bladestorm

#

Hello, sorry, noob question.. Ravager vs Into the Fray, is it a huge difference in Ravager's favor? Or can I use Into the Fray in keystones? (not pushing anything crazy, around 10s and 11s.)

lofty thistle
#

Low keys doesn't matter

steep wraith
#

Pretty sure he's just a raider who tanks m+ for his mates. Playing venthyr, using a pvp shield and a dps legendary.

lofty thistle
#

Do what u like

#

100% flyxx is correct

If you play with some of the best DPS in the world as part of your 5 man group, you can get pretty good keys done even with suboptimal tank setup

While it would be smart to go the 207 I feel like losing out on the tank stat bonus uses and only getting damage and a 2 strength bonus isnt worth. Thonks?

lavish oracle

Tank stat bonus?

#

I'd go decanter and Phial personally

amber eagle
# chilly brook Both?

i really prefer playing prot. the balancing between mitigation and dps (and utility) is fun, but feel like prot might not be that great right now? im really squishy unless i focus hard on mitigation. even if i do some dps it's not that great compared to other tanks (?)

#

granted, i'm new to war and prot

what are your secondary stats like?

It wouldn't have a spot in WF raiding if it wasn't solid either

when is the play for running itf?

This is just 8.0 all over again

#

But what's new

amber eagle
#

would definitely see his point if it was just fury. arms has seemed great to me so dunno what to make of it (i dont raid mythic)

chilly brook
#

from a melee perspective

#

it's hard to justify arms over other melee spots

#

but it doesn't matter

amber eagle
#

warr/arms feels like something i could enjoy playing for a long time/not get bored, so his criticism doesn't really matter anyway

#

tried dk and it was definitely not in my taste

chilly brook
#

Everyone rides blood DKs dong and tbh it's probably realistically the worst tank

amber eagle
#

why do you think it's the worst?

chilly brook
#

horrible damage, most punishing and very little gains for playing well, the thing that everyone likes to harp on (their supposed self sustain) is a meme because they still take similar or more healing than other tanks

amber eagle
#

true

#

playing it just made me want to play prot instead. cant deal with the shitty mobility either (even as goblin)

solar crown
#

I guess using ITF opens up the option to stack versa instead of haste, so it could be really good. For me itf fealth underwhelming cus i ended up on 28% haste

#

Not that haste is bad, i just couldnt really tell if i had 0 or 4 raidmembers near me, which lead me to believe i dont need that much haste

amber eagle
#

any boss or encounter in m+ where reflect is particularly good? try to use it all the time but no idea where it might be more important

spare oracle
#

so prot isnt bad right now? every where i look i see nothing good and my guild are adamant that its worthless 😦

amber eagle
#

might be that they're expecting bfa-level good or just exclusively considering it based on rio rankings i guess

stark ruin
#

Define bad, I guess. It's not FOTM anymore

spare oracle
#

basically saying its super squishy

amber eagle
#

pvp arms is crazy though

solar crown
#

Saying "its bad" doesnt make any sense.. all tanks are viable atm, but they have different weaknesses. You need to figure out how to use your strengths and you'll be fine

stark ruin
#

I enjoy the current prot a bit more than tge clappity we had

#

It's definitely not squishy

#

It's not the monster it was in bfa, but it works

nimble drift
#

avatar not randomly procting and giving thousands of mastery is a big difference lol

#

but its still good

spare oracle
#

is it rewarding if you can play it well?

nimble drift
#

In what way

amber eagle
#

also seems like a lot of people saying this are players at fairly low levels/not competitive, hence class of tank is not likely to be the margin/factor they should be focusing on

nimble drift
#

M+? Raid? PvP?

spare oracle
#

pve content

nimble drift
#

In raid its very rewarding, M+ is annoying but pretty good if you play it properly

amber eagle
#

played all tanks except paladin and it's by far the most rewarding to me

where would be the best place to practice it if im trying to get into tanking?

Hello, fledgling Prot warrior here. I have read/seen all sorts of doom and gloom stories about how Prot is going to be shit in SL but so far it seems to me like the woes of Prot have been exaggerated? The spec doesn't seem to be that bad, granted I haven't stepped into higher keys yet. Just comparing it with some other tank specs I've tried in SL.

strong forum
#

yes the woes have been extremely exaggerated

#

warri needs alot of ilvl before it starts to play good

#

and 99% of all people who doomed warrior, didnt even try it properly and are bad at warri to begin with.

Pwar itself is just not a popular tank spec, so its very easy for "content creators" to bandwagon on saying "yo prot is terrible"

every 20% the mob spawns, once you kill it you get a 1min buff for +30% dmg and healing done

The buff is so exhilarating

strong forum

dodge the lines it spawns on your friendlies

#

boom, done

#

its a small healing and dps check

Excellent ok. In some routes you can time it so you have it for a boss

but nothing crazy

ye on tyra your goal is it to have it up for bosses

Okay I’ll try a 10 now. Is there a list of dungeons easiest to hardest for M+?

Mists and Halls of atonement are the easiest dungeons this week

and all weeks, really

Had an awful SoA last night on 2nd boss. People dying to bleed

ye SoA is one of the harder ones this week

Sanguine Depths is the single hardest key this week

Plaguefall must be worst , yet to see a PUG not die to last boss

Plaguefall is challenging indeed

Is crafting the Wall over Thunderlord a super bad choice for m+? I know Thunderlord does better in AOE situations but the Wall seems like a great overall choice

strong forum
#

im running the wall for m+ over Thunderlord

#

i prefer the steady ragegain and SW CD reduction

random dock
#

How should I go about SW use with the Wall? Just blow it right off the bat so that I can start benefitting from cd reduction?

strong forum
#

no, just as you need it

#

only if youre playing AM+The Wall you might wanna use it more loosely

#

but with Bolster+The Wall you just wanna use it like usual

#

would be bad if you used SW when you didnt really need it, and then you cant make it come back up by the time you could actually benefit from it

random dock
#

Yeah, true. No need to try to supermaximize cd reduction then I think. Thanks for the advice!

Prot is probably the worst all around tank right now, but balance being so close it doesn’t matter all that much.

#

It also has the unfortunate aspect of being the one tank spec outside of like VDH that punishes you the hardest for being shit.

#

So a lot of the people early in the xpac and beta crying about how bad it is probably are just partially bad at the spec itself as well.

steep wraith
#

Yeah. Looking at veng, they have cheat death and meta. Just being in meta is like 80k+ hp. With that much hp and armour and passive magic mitigation it's hard to go wrong.

#

And even if you do go wrong, you just cheat death

#

If you really want the good advice about which class/spec to pick — go with whatever gameplay or aesthetic you like the most. The way blizzard balances classes makes it entirely irrelevant for most players to go with FotM because they will almost certainly be nerfed into irrelevance.

#

And unless you’re doing CE in the current raid tier, you can easily clear any content with any spec no problem

I don’t think Prot is the worst tank. Logs are saying middle of the road and I think it’s the most fun

Geez the ammount of DH parses...

Yeah. I remember when I played DH tank briefly it was susceptible to damage spikes and if did no damage what so ever

Can’t wait to get rejected from CE PUGs because I’m 9/10 as every council group I join can’t do enough DPS

you guys think they will be balancing any of the dungeons soon?

certain parts of a few dungeons feel... insanely overtuned on both fortified and tyrannical (even considering lower ilvl blah blah)

council is only a DPS check if you are doing the stupid order, Jny

Can’t trust PUG to not interrupt Frieda. Believe it’s best to Frieda last right ?

we do her first

Frieda last is great.

#

Pugs are far more capable of kicking something than they are doing the DPS check of Stavros last.

#

Stavros last is a trap for pugs.

Hey warrior friends. Just out of curiosity. I am in a CE pushing guild and the GM wanted me to not play my prot warr going into Shadowlands. I see some of the top guilds are using them in raid? Does anyone know why they are being used at the moment? I want to have an arugment supported by facts so I can play my warr again 😛

open monolith
#

Battle Shout is a required raid buff

#

Prot Warrior is better than Arms or Fury.

#

Rallying cry is also very useful.

#

Prot Warrior is still the best physical mitigation tank, and is more than capable of tanking everything absolutely fine in the raid.

#

Your GM is dumb 🙂

#

if your GM would rather bring 1 arms warrior to every fight instead of 1 prot warrior, your GM makes bad comp decisions.

pearl sinew
#

In fairness we have one warr who plays arms/fury no matter what every patch/xpac

split wyvern
#

You’re GM might be like my OT buddy who reads those what’s the best class tier guides and uses it like a Bible to make judgment calls for their raid team instead of bringing a skilled player

pearl sinew
#

So if it is only for the buff then it is probably a no go

open monolith
#

Well here's the thing

#

the tank you choose will absolutely not make the difference between your guild getting CE and not getting CE

split wyvern
#

What’s going to matter is your team doing the mechanics in castle and passing the dps checks

#

Limit is using a prot Warrior tank I’ve been watching his POV since they started and they are doing good granted their team in phenomenal

is it better to use the wall as a cloak or shoulders? Or is it just whatever you have thats lower?

shoulders have significantly higher stat allowance than cloak

I kinda knew it would come: Kin-Tara

Overhead Slash now only strikes her primary target and its damage has been reduced by 40%. The tooltip will be updated in a future patch.
Increased the distance at which melee characters can attack Kin-Tara.
