placid oar
#

ahhh wow

hallow phoenix
#

So you can find exactly how much a shield makes a difference

#

I guess you could do armor too

placid oar
#

so M+ is a flat despite a higher key level?

hallow phoenix
#

Yes

placid oar
#

thank you btw Azathoth

hallow phoenix
#

Each season the k value for m+ increases

lavish oracle
#

Part of what makes warrior so good in M+

placid oar
#

i see

hallow phoenix
#

I think it's each season

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, it changes from season to season

red swallow
#

Is there a good time to pump rage into IP instead of Revenge even if i have an IP running or is it just a feels thing

placid oar
#

i see

#

thanks again guys

lavish oracle
#

Mostly just a feels thing, Fork

red swallow
#

Alrighty

hallow phoenix
#

Your can have 2x IP going

placid oar
#

i will try to compare a 223 ilvl shield to a 226 shield to see how much the difference is

red swallow
#

Just wanna make sure i dont build bad habits early on

hallow phoenix
#

Get an IP tracker weak aura that shows you a little progress bar of the absorb

lavish oracle
#

The answer is if you're taking damage that could kill you, and you don't have 2x IP already running, basically

hallow phoenix
#

If it's less than half full press IP, else pool rage or press revenge

lavish oracle
#

and you already have block up, I guess. Unless you're taking purely magic damage

red swallow
#

Having to use brain instead of just smashing mitigate kinda pog

lavish oracle
#

yeah, rage has always been an interesting resource to me

tawdry spade
#

is Bladedancer's Armor Kit a garbo trinket?

hallow phoenix
#

Yes

lavish oracle
#

Both the armor and damage are like, totally negligible

hallow phoenix
#

It's the new sporepods except it's not even useful in pvp

#

RIP sporepods

tawdry spade
#

i thought so, thanks great vault for giving me that at 223

lavish oracle
#

Nah, less useful than sporepods too

#

Sporepods was bad in an expansion where every trinket was just really really good

keen jungle
#

is thunderlord better on boots or hand?

lavish oracle
#

boots

keen jungle
#

@lavish oracle cause it give more stats?

lavish oracle
#

Yep

undone jacinth
#

Boots don’t give more stats

lavish oracle
#

Yes they do

#

12 extra armor, bruh

#

It's a whole 14 armor at mythic item level

#

😛

undone jacinth
#

very impressive

#

too bad a lot of people aren’t gonna have mythic items in both slots because they crafted boots first xd

lavish oracle
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

gotta craft it somewhere

#

might as well be the slot that gives you 12 extra armor

#

Unless you wanna hold it until generals, like a pro

undone jacinth
#

boots drop from shriekwing so for most players you will be losing a lot more than 12 armour

lavish oracle
#

I mean

#

eventually this tier ends

#

and you're still gonna have legendary boots

undone jacinth
#

By the time most people clear mythic you’ll have more soul ash than you know what to do with

#

either way is pretty much irrelevant where u make them because weekly chest is the place ur most likely to fill the gap and that’s rng

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, but who wants to spend another 200k gold to replace a leggo they already crafted

#

Yeah, doesn't matter too much

undone jacinth
#

also isn’t gonna be close to that much by then

hasty quest
#

Hey guys regarding main stas on pro warry, I am stacking haste versa as much as possible, what do you think about? Is haste mastery better?

amber herald
#

I went with boots because you stomp doing thunderclap

lavish oracle
#

Haste/vers is good

#

Ilvl > all secondaries

#

but haste is our best secondary and vers is probably our 2nd best defensively

hasty quest
#

I am playing mainly M+

hallow phoenix
undone jacinth
#

u clap with ur hands tho

hallow phoenix
#

So there's a good argument for both

leaden steeple
#

216wrists or 210 1h from weekly?

#

both are currently 184 equipped

hallow phoenix
#

What sort of content do you do

leaden steeple
#

m+ and pugging raid when I feel like it

hallow phoenix
#

There are good 213 wrists from early heroic, but a 210 weapon can be farmed from 12+ m+

undone jacinth
#

do not rely on m+ for weapons

hallow phoenix
#

207? I forget the ilvl

#

Don't rely on raid for loot either

undone jacinth
#

I have done over 100 keys and never seen a weapon

hallow phoenix
#

3 pieces per boss yep

undone jacinth
#

I’d take from weekly instantly

leaden steeple
#

weapon you say?

undone jacinth
#

190%

hallow phoenix
#

I've gotten 4 weapons >.>

undone jacinth
#

wrists aren’t worth much anyway

leaden steeple
#

weapon has no haste but wrists do

hallow phoenix
#

The weapon is the stronger choice offensively and defensively if you just compare the two without thinking about what can be acquired more easily

#

With that large of an ilvl upgrade don't consider secondaries

leaden steeple
#

alright went with it then

ebon jasper
#

got a 216 weapon from vault, so that was neat

steady spruce
#

Are the Kyrian Dungeon synergy fixed for necrotic wake yet or not?

#

The bug where we couldn't interact with our stewart

hallow phoenix
#

That was an angry keystones bug I believe

jagged pier
#

it was a setting not a bug

hallow phoenix
#

Kyrian in my group disabled the add-on and was able to use his steward

jagged pier
#

it was just a dialog option, which is set by default

steady spruce
#

oh damn i feel dumb now

sweet kayak
#

Spiteful, do we suppose to kite or kill them?

sweet summit
#

Yes peepostudy

jagged pier
#

both all of the above

sweet summit
#

Kite them mostly, where possible

jagged pier
#

they dont target you

sweet kayak
#

hmm I thought they fixate on some1

steady spruce
#

You sure they can't target the tank?

compact smelt
#

They can if the person they are targeting dies

#

Otherwise no

steady spruce
#

Another week for melees to be benched i guess

sharp mural
#

So when I tank a key 'perfect' and time it, I ask feedback and they say reroll DH warrior is in a bad state. And I've also noticed groups prefer others tanks, is it that bad for us? Or is it just a matter of getting more versatility or such..

steady spruce
#

We'll soon need a ranged tank class

round vapor
#

DH is good if u play doing kite and this shit. A lot of people play DH like shit but.. Metaclass u know peepostudy

stark carbon
#

what weapon enchant do you use for raids?

jagged pier
#

any you want

restive flax
#

so, does any of the available simulationcraft shenanigans actually work for prot warr?

sweet summit
#

Yes

restive flax
#

Just reading through the raidbots quicksim results makes me doubt atleast that one a lot

sweet summit
#

Everythink is in except SoF afaik

restive flax
#

28 executes in a 5 min fight is reasonable?

sweet summit
#

Ehh that count thing is scuffed

#

Idk whats up with that

restive flax
#

rofl it says 8 shield blocks 😄

sweet summit
#

Sim for dps, so yeah

restive flax
#

well it uses IP 53 times

hallow phoenix
#

Would that be for anger management rage dump?

restive flax
#

I have no idea what its supposed to do in that simulation

#

hmm, weirdly enough simulationcraft comes to the same conclusion pretty much

#

I dont even remotely reach that DPS though.

#

My character sims for roughly 2.8k but I do like 2k? 2.1k maybe during raid encounters

onyx vessel
#

Thats pretty close tbh

#

Also thats prob spamming execute for rage

restive flax
#

in simulationcraft its 14 executes which is more reasonable than 28

onyx vessel
#

Hmmm

restive flax
#

but its also 60 times REVENJ

onyx vessel
#

Also the sim is you sitting there just blasting nothing else

restive flax
#

it does use defensives

#

like SB and IP

eternal idol
slim garden
#

hm. a 216 [Slimy Consumptive Organ](plaguefall healing trinket) or a 207 [Sanguine Vintage] ( Sire trinket)

restive flax
#

Sanguine Vintage

#

The Slimy whatever the fuck is weird.

#

I used it a couple of times but... in M+ it stacks pretty quick but in raids its slow af

slim garden
#

ye, or do you guys wait to pick something from the vault to after the weeks raid and then choose?

#

ok

#

cuz its a bummer i say i pick a 213 chest and then get it from the raid. then i miss out on somehing else

charred fable
#

184 blood-spattered scale or 200 anima field emitter?

slim garden
#

i would go with blood-spattered scale if you dont have a second use trinket. 🙂 i personally hate having 2 "on use" trinkets

charred fable
#

well the other i have is a 187 gluttonous spike

astral crystal
#

i roll with anime emitter and hakkar

nimble plover
#

How good is Relic of the First Ones ?

#

That compared to darkmoon one

slate shell
#

random question but, wasnt legendary set supposed to be transmogable?

storm isle
#

from legion?

slate shell
#

SL

storm isle
#

no clue

#

what do we think of the Slimy Consumptive Organ trinket?

jagged pier
#

trash

storm isle
#

got 2 trinket options in my vault its that and the Pulsating stoneheart

astral crystal
#

pulsing stoneheart is pretty bad

#

slimy consumptive is the heal one righit?

storm isle
#

yeah from 1st boss in Plaugefall ithink

jagged pier
#

both bad trinekts

unkempt sky
#

I checked the FAQ on Icy Veins and looked around a bit, but couldn't find a straight answer. Should I move Devastate from being bound to my "1" key to like "6" or "7" I feel like almost always when I get to the point in my rotation where I would be casting it I have enough rage for Revenge.

astral crystal
#

should probably be running devastator

maiden ravine
#

I've been using devastator. We're kindy spammy already without adding in having to devastate for resets

#

Though one random guy told me I should be running the slam talent, haha

unkempt sky
#

Even with The Wall I should be running Devastator?

jagged pier
#

punish and devastator are your pick

storm isle
#

i think Naowh said he would play punish since devestate got buffed in damage but the talent was not

jagged pier
#

you cant really fit devastate in tho

lament wharf
unkempt sky
#

Yeah I have been running punish because I feel dopamine whenever I hit slam.

slate shell
#

@jagged pier i cant seem to find the shadowghast items in the transmog screen 😮

proven herald
#

does leech have any real value as a stat or should I act like it's not there?

storm isle
#

depends on how much you have

maiden ravine
astral crystal
#

wat

#

you can tmog thunderfury

#

and the legion artifacts

slate shell
#

yeah, im asking about the SL legendaries, or well, the shadowghast set anywayh

astral crystal
#

you should be able to yeah

maiden ravine
#

With the sl legendaries they didn't want us to feel compelled to craft them on each slot for the appearances

shy zodiac
#

you can mog shadowghast to other stuff, but not other stuff to shadowghast, right?

maiden ravine
#

They'll add a wardrobe ensemble in a patch or two

astral crystal
#

they only had that restriction for shadowghast during the first week i thought

lament wharf
#

I think you can only transmog the legendaries after runecarving them

#

The white base item cant be learned as transmog, as it isnt soulbound

maiden ravine
#

Unless they changed their stance in the last few weeks, unfortunately we can't use the legendary appearances yet

hallow phoenix
#

But can I transmog the shadowghast set Kyle?

maiden ravine
#

You can transmog over it, but you can't transmog other stuff to it, unless the devs misspoke

shy zodiac
#

just buy a full set of white items to equip while afking in oribos

#

well, unique equipped nvm

slate shell
#

you guys think it'd be worth to change gear to versa/haste instead of haste/versa? (going versa heavy gear i mean)

pastel zephyr
#

hey guys, is thunderlord still go to lego for M+

wind yoke
#

if I ran punish/heavy repro, can I just make macros that cast Devastate if the other skills are on cd

sweet summit
#

Nope

uneven mason
#

🤷‍♂️

wind yoke
#

oh makes sense

#

it feels like there is literally never a time where pressing devastate is the right choice tbh

#

but huge slams feels pretty good

sweet summit
#

Imean its a filler

#

You fill otherwise emptyy gcds witg it

unique echo
#

@wind yoke Is it better to take Punish then and just never use Devastate?

sweet summit
#

No

uneven mason
unique echo
#

Rgr that, ty!

uneven mason
#

The only reason why we didn't take Devastator in BFA was ITF was on the same tier iirc.

sweet summit
#

BV

uneven mason
#

o

#

it was BV

#

right

#

ITF was the one vs Punish?

unique echo
#

I'm really enjoying my warrior and don't "feel" that I'm as weak as the community perception is so makes me over analyze everything like I'm doing something wrong or not seeing something right.

sweet summit
#

Ya

#

Public perception is our greatest weakness atm

#

🤷

uneven mason
wind yoke
#

high skill cap, it's just a shame I'm shit

#

these fortified packs are destroying me on pull

uneven mason
#

Warriors are hard because we have to know when damage spikes are coming and utilize our very versatile toolkit to reduce it before it happens

prisma gorge
#

Hi, what are good healers for this week?

uneven mason
sweet summit
#

All of them?

uneven mason
#

Ones that don't watch Netflix

sweet summit
#

Bring the player, not the class peepostudy

wind yoke
uneven mason
#

I mean, its certainly more noticeable when a warrior isn't hitting buttons right, except for possibly BDK

#

which is somewhat ironic to me, that BDK used to have 2nd lowest skill ceiling for any tank

#

but they know our resource pain now

#

runic power does not flow like mana from heaven

prisma gorge
#

😄

uneven mason
#

HOwever, warriors are passively very strong vs physical damage

#

just keeping your targets in front of you our passive armor is insane due to buffs we got in beta

#

its when there crap that bypasses armor we need to be proactive with buttons.

proven herald
#

in legion, I remember playing a bdk made me feel literally invulnerable

#

we never wiped due to me dying, it was always the rest of the group/raid doing something wrong, dying and then me saying "eh fuck it" and letting myself be killed

#

with prot warrior in shadowlands, the moment a magic dot hits me, I really feel the pain

solar crown
#

You do have 20% vs magic om a 25s cd though

proven herald
#

for 5secs -.-

solar crown
#

Yes, im just saying we are not that shit vs magic damage

proven herald
#

well no we are not useless

#

just probably the worst tank at it

#

which is fair considering we are the best vs physical except for maybe bears

#

and we are vastly faster than bears, probably better at dps too

uneven mason
uneven mason
#

BUt they have big bonus healing

#

gap between tanks this Xpac is like 🤌 this wide

bdk ams says hi 😛

uneven mason

We can literally deflect/reflect(negate) most magic debuffs.

midnight stone

Its the ZenTracker weakaura

uneven mason
#

AMS is a 1min CD

#

if you go with 1min CDs

#

we have DS IP and SR for 68% reduction

proven herald
#

yes but that requires me to pay attention to what is actually reflectable, which is SOOOO like, 2020-thing

uneven mason
#

but SR just flat out makes us not take debuffs.

#

lol

#

Welcome to warrior "The tank that pays attention"

dense umbra
#

Thank you Jaysus

#

Pronounced Jesus , how apt

maiden ravine
#

Tanks are close except for dps

uneven mason

Other tanks are like "Oh that happened *Hits reactive heal"

#

Warriors are like "NOT IN MY HOUSE"

solar crown
#

Well, if you use your toolkit wrong you cant really blame the class for taking extra damage. But i guess you werent serious

proven herald
#

monks also don't really have on demand healing

uneven mason
#

yeah if you flub ability use

proven herald
#

but they are monks 😛

uneven mason
#

Monks have stagger

maiden ravine
#

I wish my bear and warrior could match my vdh dps with ease

uneven mason
#

literally 2 buttons was too hard for people who main BrM

#

so they baked Ironskin brew

#

into the class and just let them purify

maiden ravine
#

Isb wasn't hard, it was just boring as hell

uneven mason
#

Right

#

And instead of making the spec MORE engaging

#

they brought engagement down to -1

maiden ravine
#

Imagine warriors if they had to press a button every 5 seconds or they couldn't block at all

uneven mason
#

" can literally hit this button when that symbol turns red, otherwise its a healer problem"

I Mean, I press IP Like every 3s while tanking bosses

so IDK

#

Isb did nothing

uneven mason
#

yeah

#

"Oh they don't like how ISB interacts, wish they had more control over their damage taken, so they can show the difference between bad BrM and good BrM"
I guess they don't like the button, I'll just increase stagger by their agility

#

But really I don't have a problem with how BRM is now I just find it twice as boring

proven herald
#

i like brm's jade wind though

#

makes it so easy to pick up mobs

#

plus their main offensive ability is aoe

#

though shield slam is cooler, the way you put your shoulder behind your shield and go thump

#

So am I crazy or did they remove the two plaguerocks that spawn in the very first mushroom area of Plaguefall?

strong forum
#

yes

#

i was surprised aswell

undone jacinth
#

making some quick changes

#

yet Amarth still exists xd

uneven mason
#

THey did a lot of fixes to PF

maiden ravine
#

so the front skip is even easier now? 😄

uneven mason
#

like, the insane level of trash you needed to kill, packs give higher % after the first week.

#

Yes, but they removed the skip by the tentacles

#

to compensate

maiden ravine
#

Granted I'll still want that first prideful before the first boss

#

Plaguefall is great that you can get prideful for all 4 bosses perfectly

uneven mason
#

many dungeons are very well balanced for trash.

#

its not like BFA

#

where you could overshoot by like 40%

#

or have to run back if you do perfect skips

#

its almost like they paid attention to what keys people basically dumpstered

#

and went hmmm "why are these not fun"

maiden ravine
#

that's what they're doing right now with all their changes

#

like 2 minutes on DOS is great

undone jacinth

apart from there’s still chain casting packs and bosses with nightmare level scaling

I actually miss BFA dungeons but mostly for the RP

Finally done with torghast for the week

Had to switch from prot to fury to clear motregar level 8

devout quest
#

whats the normal shield block uptime ? 50-60%?

signal plover
#

you want effective uptime not overall uptime

uneven mason
#

I mean, I managed to do both wings as arms this week, but fury was so squishy in Torghast I had to push as prot prior to the nerfs.

signal plover
#

effective should be 70%+ (prolly above 80 on bosses where there's taunt swaps)

They still need to actually nerf trash and a lot of these bosses in m+

And buff tanks lmao

I agree nerfing trash

But you did say they didn't bring both to the same fight....

torpid granite

holy cow

#

still dont see it

undone jacinth
#

???

#

what else could u possibly mean

steel mauve
#

shield is our single most important item slot, it will have the highest impact on performance, that said ilvl comes into play, i have a 155 shield, so the 200 ilvl shield would be absolutely massive for me, but say i had a 194 shield, the 200 ilvl shield wouldnt be nearly as impactful as if i got an upgrade of near 20 or m ore ilvls in a different slot

undone jacinth
#

tusks said they used both and u said they did not twice

torpid granite
undone jacinth
#

!?

#

this is very bizarre

torpid granite
hallow phoenix
#

Correct iron. A 3 ilvl shield upgrade is likely worse than a 20 ilvl upgrade in another slot

#

Idk about cloak or wrists tho

undone jacinth
#

you could just say woops I'm wrong, didn't actually check before I definitively answered your question

#

confuses me why ppl just make stuff up and then are scared when someone sees it lol

chilly brook

So speaking of the actual limit kills, does anyone have a link to their raid comps for each kill

undone jacinth

yeah

they had arms in all but 3 of their fights

That's when they were complaining

chilly brook

Although I was blood then and our pally has been taking him

Soooo

hallow phoenix

But it's like just a +20% attack speed and damage

Long as it's blockable that's nothing

huh, didnt realize that the condemn absorb stacks, thats kind of useful as an OT

i think its 5 hits, whatever that works out to

it's full absorb though, not %

What haste are you guys running at?

No one can be picky with stats right now

Well I was at 26.5% before i just lost 50 haste last night

#

But I mean I have 15% vers now sooo

I guess that's ok

hallow phoenix

I think I'm like 35% mastery

Once I get ti 60 i'll be pouring cash into gear with haste

I have 14% and generally feels hard to find gear with haste dropping for me.

Haste is really nice but the gear gets replaced so quick

Guys is that trinket that reduces your covenant ability by 20% decent?

#

For m+

#

I was thinking about pairing it with the darkmoon one. But im not sure how good they both are

sonic tangle
#

That trinket doesn't work on the actual ability

#

Like for kyrian, it works on the owls benefits not the spear

#

Covenant Signature Abilities are not your covenant class abilities. Signature abilities are the covenant's class-shared defensive/utility spell: Door of Shadows, Fleshcraft,  Soulshape, Summon Steward.

This trinket does not reduce the cooldown of your class abilities.

So you guys probably get this question all the time.... I was playing Vengeance (which I don’t like), and my guild wants a plate tank, as our other tank is a Monk. I really like the fantasy of warrior but am I gimping myself not playing Pally or DK? 50% raiding, 50% M+

Im actually thinking of the reverse going from night fae to kyrian because of the potion

spiral cobalt
#

Interesting

Warriors are great for raiding

but are both equal\

Anyone knows what happens to followers if I switch Covenants? I was thinking of going Kyrian on my warrior since I am mostly using him as Prot now.
