So you can find exactly how much a shield makes a difference
I guess you could do armor too
so M+ is a flat despite a higher key level?
Yes
thank you btw Azathoth
Each season the k value for m+ increases
Part of what makes warrior so good in M+
i see
I think it's each season
Yeah, it changes from season to season
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
Mostly just a feels thing, Fork
Alrighty
Your can have 2x IP going
i will try to compare a 223 ilvl shield to a 226 shield to see how much the difference is
Just wanna make sure i dont build bad habits early on
Get an IP tracker weak aura that shows you a little progress bar of the absorb
The answer is if you're taking damage that could kill you, and you don't have 2x IP already running, basically
If it's less than half full press IP, else pool rage or press revenge
and you already have block up, I guess. Unless you're taking purely magic damage
Having to use brain instead of just smashing mitigate kinda pog
yeah, rage has always been an interesting resource to me
is Bladedancer's Armor Kit a garbo trinket?
Yes
Both the armor and damage are like, totally negligible
i thought so, thanks great vault for giving me that at 223
Nah, less useful than sporepods too
Sporepods was bad in an expansion where every trinket was just really really good
is thunderlord better on boots or hand?
boots
@lavish oracle cause it give more stats?
Yep
Boots don’t give more stats
very impressive
too bad a lot of people aren’t gonna have mythic items in both slots because they crafted boots first xd
¯_(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
boots drop from shriekwing so for most players you will be losing a lot more than 12 armour
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
Yeah, but who wants to spend another 200k gold to replace a leggo they already crafted
Yeah, doesn't matter too much
also isn’t gonna be close to that much by then
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?
I went with boots because you stomp doing thunderclap
Haste/vers is good
Ilvl > all secondaries
but haste is our best secondary and vers is probably our 2nd best defensively
I am playing mainly M+
This tbh
u clap with ur hands tho
What sort of content do you do
m+ and pugging raid when I feel like it
There are good 213 wrists from early heroic, but a 210 weapon can be farmed from 12+ m+
do not rely on m+ for weapons
I have done over 100 keys and never seen a weapon
3 pieces per boss 
I’d take from weekly instantly
weapon you say?
190%
I've gotten 4 weapons >.>
wrists aren’t worth much anyway
weapon has no haste but wrists do
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
alright went with it then
got a 216 weapon from vault, so that was neat
Are the Kyrian Dungeon synergy fixed for necrotic wake yet or not?
The bug where we couldn't interact with our stewart
That was an angry keystones bug I believe
it was a setting not a bug
Kyrian in my group disabled the add-on and was able to use his steward
it was just a dialog option, which is set by default
oh damn i feel dumb now
Spiteful, do we suppose to kite or kill them?
Yes 
both all of the above
Kite them mostly, where possible
they dont target you
hmm I thought they fixate on some1
You sure they can't target the tank?
Another week for melees to be benched i guess
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..
We'll soon need a ranged tank class
DH is good if u play doing kite and this shit. A lot of people play DH like shit but.. Metaclass u know 
what weapon enchant do you use for raids?
any you want
so, does any of the available simulationcraft shenanigans actually work for prot warr?
Yes
Just reading through the raidbots quicksim results makes me doubt atleast that one a lot
Everythink is in except SoF afaik
28 executes in a 5 min fight is reasonable?
rofl it says 8 shield blocks 😄
Sim for dps, so yeah
well it uses IP 53 times
Would that be for anger management rage dump?
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
in simulationcraft its 14 executes which is more reasonable than 28
Hmmm
but its also 60 times REVENJ
Also the sim is you sitting there just blasting nothing else
I have this bug and I don't use Angry Keystones
hm. a 216 [Slimy Consumptive Organ](plaguefall healing trinket) or a 207 [Sanguine Vintage] ( Sire trinket)
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
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
184 blood-spattered scale or 200 anima field emitter?
i would go with blood-spattered scale if you dont have a second use trinket. 🙂 i personally hate having 2 "on use" trinkets
well the other i have is a 187 gluttonous spike
i roll with anime emitter and hakkar
random question but, wasnt legendary set supposed to be transmogable?
from legion?
SL
trash
they are
got 2 trinket options in my vault its that and the Pulsating stoneheart
yeah from 1st boss in Plaugefall ithink
both bad trinekts
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.
should probably be running devastator
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
Even with The Wall I should be running Devastator?
punish and devastator are your pick
i think Naowh said he would play punish since devestate got buffed in damage but the talent was not
you cant really fit devastate in tho
Ive been playing devastator and reach 99 on logs, using devastate, even if it is buffed, will hardly improve my dps output
Yeah I have been running punish because I feel dopamine whenever I hit slam.
@jagged pier i cant seem to find the shadowghast items in the transmog screen 😮
does leech have any real value as a stat or should I act like it's not there?
depends on how much you have
We can't transmog the legendary appearances. That'll be content for a future patch
yeah, im asking about the SL legendaries, or well, the shadowghast set anywayh
you should be able to yeah
With the sl legendaries they didn't want us to feel compelled to craft them on each slot for the appearances
you can mog shadowghast to other stuff, but not other stuff to shadowghast, right?
They'll add a wardrobe ensemble in a patch or two
they only had that restriction for shadowghast during the first week i thought
I think you can only transmog the legendaries after runecarving them
The white base item cant be learned as transmog, as it isnt soulbound
Unless they changed their stance in the last few weeks, unfortunately we can't use the legendary appearances yet
You can transmog over it, but you can't transmog other stuff to it, unless the devs misspoke
just buy a full set of white items to equip while afking in oribos
well, unique equipped nvm
you guys think it'd be worth to change gear to versa/haste instead of haste/versa? (going versa heavy gear i mean)
hey guys, is thunderlord still go to lego for M+
I think the wall is also good M+, but M+ focused people may prefer TL
if I ran punish/heavy repro, can I just make macros that cast Devastate if the other skills are on cd
cheers bro
Nope
You can't macro multiple abilities on the GCD together?
🤷♂️
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
@wind yoke Is it better to take Punish then and just never use Devastate?
No
Because there is never a right time, its a pretty garbo ability, Devastator is prime goodness now that its not competing with ITF
Rgr that, ty!
The only reason why we didn't take Devastator in BFA was ITF was on the same tier iirc.
BV
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.
Because warriors are stronk and only weak when some YouTurdber makes a tier list and doesn't understand how to preemptively use mitigation tools.
high skill cap, it's just a shame I'm shit
these fortified packs are destroying me on pull
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
Hi, what are good healers for this week?
Not even high skill cap
All of them?
Ones that don't watch Netflix
Bring the player, not the class 
I guess "i'm shit" isn't enough to justify a bad warrior
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
😄
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.
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
You do have 20% vs magic om a 25s cd though
for 5secs -.-
Yes, im just saying we are not that shit vs magic damage
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
That was literally all tanks, warriors had basically 99.9% DR all the time in Antorus, we were either 100% health or got hit by a 1 shot mechanic (some 1 shot mechanics we could actually survive, like a full combo soak on HC Aggramar)
A bear with 1 stack IF Is basically a warrior who is afk, if its blockable physical damage we beat them with SB up, if its non blockable but armor mitigatable they'll beat us because of broken as hell Lego Ironfur
BUt they have big bonus healing
gap between tanks this Xpac is like 🤌 this wide
is ncie
very pog
Also, vs magic, do people not realize we have some of the strongest magic mit?
Any idea what this addon / wa is?
bdk ams says hi 😛
We can literally deflect/reflect(negate) most magic debuffs.
Its the ZenTracker weakaura
yes but that requires me to pay attention to what is actually reflectable, which is SOOOO like, 2020-thing
but SR just flat out makes us not take debuffs.
lol
Welcome to warrior "The tank that pays attention"
Tanks are close except for dps
Other tanks are like "Oh that happened *Hits reactive heal"
👍
Warriors are like "NOT IN MY HOUSE"
Well, if you use your toolkit wrong you cant really blame the class for taking extra damage. But i guess you werent serious
monks also don't really have on demand healing
yeah if you flub ability use
but they are monks 😛
Monks have stagger
I wish my bear and warrior could match my vdh dps with ease
literally 2 buttons was too hard for people who main BrM
so they baked Ironskin brew
into the class and just let them purify
Isb wasn't hard, it was just boring as hell
Right
And instead of making the spec MORE engaging
they brought engagement down to -1
Imagine warriors if they had to press a button every 5 seconds or they couldn't block at all
" 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
doubt
I mean
PAW GOT ME
Anyone got a nice platter profile for us tanks? To check aggro/cast/big plates. I know #UI channel but here are the tanks so...
I press COndemn every 3s
If we don't slam every 5 ish seconds we won't be able to shield block
believe
Hey guys, I'm going to craft my legendary ( The Wall) today and I want to know if should I craft it as my cloak or shoulders. Any thoughts?
shouldahs
yeah
BrM dev read https://www.peakofserenity.com/2018/10/09/the-fetid-log/
And took it a complete 180 from what the point was.
"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
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
SHould've seen shield charge...was a great animation
shield charge looked badass
So am I crazy or did they remove the two plaguerocks that spawn in the very first mushroom area of Plaguefall?
THey did a lot of fixes to PF
so the front skip is even easier now? 😄
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
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
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"
that's what they're doing right now with all their changes
like 2 minutes on DOS is great
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
whats the normal shield block uptime ? 50-60%?
you want effective uptime not overall uptime
Hows that work lol
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.
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
4.5%
Fury made it easier since the dps was higher
With chorus it’s a race to 0
hmm ok
Found that the anima powers prot gets my DPS ends up higher than it is as fury lol
With 100x the survivability
yeah
Prot has always been the easiest if any of my chars
tanks can just pull entire floors
the infinite IP shield wall thing means all u need is a bit of dmg
knocked mine out before work
Didn't even get that, the 200% extra damage on charge/HL + 100% condemn + 100% condemn + 90% from shouts + 20% from BV + 20% Avatar means my first Condemn takes about 30% Off the wing bosses HP.
I went away from vampires, but there’s one that stacks ur spear of bastion dmg every time u use it that one shots packs
idk it just seems like every power is good almost
yup
the infinite rage one with condemn was cool
when I did a wing as arms, I had 0 CD on MS + 100% MS damage + infinite rage for the final boss
it was
fast
yus
In torghast prot is unstoppable force after first floor
if you get the 200% dmg on charge/HL as your entryway power its a swift trip to floor 6
I have all but twice
Still feeling good about all them orange and pink parses last night
Got 2 top 25
📈
because there’s 23 parses xd
Probably woulda had a 90+ in mythic if our Shriekwing kill wasn't over 6 minutes lmao
Barely anyone at my ilvl for a lot of them lol
I was only kidding but their are legit only like 135 parses for m shriek lol
crazy
Lol
I sometimes miss raiding as prot
Like, in Uldir man, them 90%+ Parses
Now I get to race tanks in dps as fury
"Out of 47"
Why can't we get the blood DK treatment? get like 5% extra dmg on thunderclap and revenge or something
Big fax
They got nice dps increases
Because it was impossible for them to hold threat
out DPS isn't bad for tanks
Pal and VDH are up for nerfs
question for you guys: I've been getting cucked a bit on drops in M+. What do you think about buying the iLvl 200 gear using conquest to tank with? specifically the haste/versatility pieces like chest/shoulders
we don't want that sort of attention
they got a dps increase because they suck ass lol
Prot warr is the lowest dps tank spec in CN
🤔
by a good margin as well
Big doubt
It's still being used for WF kills
cant doubt statistics
200 parses
for that sweet 5%AP buff
Pretty sure they've used a prot war and an arms war in the same kill
warr tanks are only brought for 5% AP because arms and fury are bad on most bosses
they did not
RIP
Yeah I thought limit did
they did not
But of not then lul feels bad
what do u mean they did not
Literally smoothest damage taken right now
They have an arms warr on sire right now
i dont know
bears
??
Our boy Sense representing
i cant see anything
It's like a 100 dps difference at the top if that
would you guys recommend buying conquest gear to tank with if its an upgrade??
?
?
what did u mean
All these other tank parses are a significant margin shorter fight as well btw
On average
idk what youre asking
yes, especially the shield is an easy 200 ilvl shield if your rng is as bad as mine
it seemed like u were saying limit didn’t bring arms warr to kills
when did i state that?
thats all i said
after people said that limit brought warr
It wont matter in a few weeks anyways
arms
and its been a long time since pvp gear was an actual thing, there isnt a difference in gear

The context was they didn't bring a prot war and an arms war at the same time @chilly brook
What did u mean by the then did not
@steel mauve i ran 12 M+ last week, all +5 and +6 and i got 2 drops lol feels bad. Was thinking of upgrading chest/shoulders but the shield is cheap and i could use that too. what do you think?
Because we'll have enough gear to actually slam execute without caring about defense
i didnt mean anything
Wat
so why did u say it lol
idk
And they have fyi
u said limit did not bring arms warr twice
Because I clicked the wrong name :(
where?
Meant dolphin
yup
It might not have stayed as that comp
But they have
what else can that mean
where does that say i stated they did not bring both?
so how troll is swapping to necrolord for the mog lmao
But you did say they didn't bring both to the same fight....
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
tusks said they used both and u said they did not twice
maybe nothing
im trolling you broskie
Correct iron. A 3 ilvl shield upgrade is likely worse than a 20 ilvl upgrade in another slot
Idk about cloak or wrists tho
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
It's a huge int
So speaking of the actual limit kills, does anyone have a link to their raid comps for each kill
i honestly didnt even read it, i just said they did not
That's pretty hawt
I turned down a 207 shield yesterday from my cache for a 220 scale

i did not
https://www.wowprogress.com/guild/us/illidan/Complexity+Limit you can find their kill comps on there, sometimes can be unreliable but good for the most part
Detailed history for Complexity Limit, US-Illidan: rankings, mythic plus progress, boss kill history, player rotation
they also have arms and prot in on denathrius right now on stream
Thanks dolphin 
PrOt Is OnLy BrOuGhT fOr BuFf

so i asked limit why they brough a prot
Smh
they said to tell Griff that its for the buff
about telling you its the buff?
No
I bet prot war slaps M Sludgefist
someone change my name to Clown
Atlas it's ok bb
gonna still hold me at night Tusks?
Because it does lol
In raid our bdk and monk were complaining about the damage intake and alternating cds between the two of them
Whole time I was just thinking "put me in coach"
Sludgefist - this Xpacs Fetid
That's when they were complaining
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
gets up to 13k
Is that the hard cap
i think its 5 hits, whatever that works out to
because it's like 2.3-2.5k per for me
That's like a full IP stack tbh
it's full absorb though, not %
I'd play it if it cleaved
Gluttonous Spikes any good in Prot?
It's ok
I rolled that in my vault.
Probably a huge upgrade then tbh
Just trying to work out its value vs a shoulder upgrade of 13 on ilvl
When did you gyus start using devastator? My haste is low af.
Sim
There was never a start point
It's been slotted since prepatch
It does feel awful with low haste though
Oh, so just right away? I felt like my rotation was weird so I've been leveling using Punish.
Sometimes I press nothing for 2 gcds
What haste are you guys running at?
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
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.
Don't not worth it
Mastery and Crit is ez
Thats what I am doing to be fair.
Haste is really nice but the gear gets replaced so quick
And ilvl is gonna be more important than anything
@chilly brook i have gold, and I'd be buying the 151/168 gear anyway.
Nuuu
Gold is better used on consumables and enchants imo tbh
And leggos
Oh shit my hair is long enough to tie back again
just shaved mine bald for my show in jan
Got Sanguine Vintage - have pvp trinket + anima field emitter - i do not see any value in this one except maybe pvp
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
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.
This is what I do
is Devastator the way or would the % DR be better for raiding/ST on punish?
Guys
is switching kyrian to night fae worth it
im thinking of making the switch, i want that sweet ancient aftershock
I really dig the spear.
it's a game
I have thought about switching off Kyrian exactly 0 times
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
Interesting
Warriors are great for raiding
Limit is using a prot warrior so no, you're not gimping yourself@fervent kestrel
If you think fae looks cool do it
How are warriors in M+ currently?
They take a bit more effort but you can time 15s if you plan ahead
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.
do I have to regrind them all?
afaik they stay with old cov
yeah thats what I would think bleh
they all start at 1 @scarlet merlin
guess is better to do it now I guess. Thanks for the info!
For doing normal keys Warriors are great
The top keys on raider.io right now are all from kiting, which has nothing to do with tank balance.
Hi all, tried necrotic +11 yesterday during tyrannical week . Amarth was not beatable even with prideful and heroism including anima orbs. Is there a tactic for this boss that I’m missing or is it just overtuned ?
SR 👍
Adds are so spread out, can I affect their positioning ?
make sure your dps are smart and interrupt those caster adds
They're highest priority
adds > boss
DPS able to interrupt adds cuz double digit braincell count is most important
we broke our 12 key on it last week too, we underestimated him and thought we could just burn him with pridefull/lust/weapons
we killed him the second time, but we had to actually do mechanics and kill adds
Those are great right? Haste poly Glothes
What is poly
Okay ty all
I assume vers
Ye they're really good
Any night fae prots here?
Yes
Anyone using the Dreamweaver soul bind tree?
The pod saved my group once or twice though
And I can't think of any situations where podtender would save me
Because anytime I would die my group could prevent it with kiting, treants, or cc
Seen that happen
Best weapon enchant for raiding? Icy Veins and Wowhead have differing guidance
Devastator for basically everything
Sim yourself and ask yourself if the difference is worth it to you
Part of me wants to go Night Fae just to be a big pumper
Right up until you realize that most dungeon trash runs out of it
Cuz
I like to think I big pump as NF but I also play fury in raid so there's like 10 parses
For prot it's da best
Like a 200 dps increase is fairly substantial
The dungeon trash that seems to matter doesn't run out, except for a few mobs in ToP
It completely shuts down most mobs
Niya just hands you mastery 
Cause she's sweet
Aftershock on every single DoS pack is a blessing
Just soul shape away :)
Take NF sims with a grain of salt.
They are counted so that the enemies are standing in the DoT for the full duration.
Don't do this to us mwahi
No matter how often we mention that
They generally are in raid

Oof
Smh, showing off and not even a 100.

That's not fair Mwahi, there can be only 1 
#1 or no catjam
😂
😄
Reroll.
Nah Kyrian is actually just too good for everything else
Swolkin is my boy
Free respecs
Vendor
And pot
Ez
But can you afk in Oribos as a spirity runestag?
Shit
Damn I just take owl Boi because he plays music for me and I can jam with him with my harp when I’m not smashing faces with my shield.
I dropped to #7
There should be a kyrian mount that's just your owldude struggling to carry you on his shoulders
Wait tf the top parse is like 14 ilvl higher than me

Theres only like 2 of us under 200 ilvl
Without Deafening Crash I'm afraid you're just not good enough Griff.
hes is not
Just loot gear at the end of the dungeon and gain ilvl it's easy
@chilly brook https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1FPbH9zZqtB43ACW#fight=18&type=damage-done get on my level 👀
You jelly @chilly brook ?
???
Rosjen would be a blue Chad
Truuuuuueeee
but erga is a SIGNET CHAD
Real talk still plenty of stuff I probably need to do better and optimize
sense beat me by 11 dps on huntsman...
You know what's annoying?
How many boss mechanics there are that literally just waste your shield block
But on the bright side that's just more revenge pump time
revenge?
wait yall are using condem
No
Venthyr stinky
Are there any prominent or recommended prot warriors that stream M+ right now?
@strong forum him
Coming from minor M+ prot warrior tanking in BFA and prot paladin tanking in SL, I am really struggling with threat/survivability as warrior
"prominent"
Prominent pwar don't exist
or recommended
Damn dude I was on point for darkvein
lightee and my man nomer
just use headphones when watching nomer if you live with people
You shouldn't be struggling for either tbh
Is nomer on twitch?
Ye
nomer what mic do you use
Nomer link?
KEK ye you better not have it on speakers

Razer Seiren
my girlfriend once heard some shit go down on nomers stream and comes into the office looking at me like "what the fuck is wrong with you"
is limit using a prot war just for the extra rallying cry and phys mitigation?
and execute
i remember lightee saying it was because he didn't wanna play monk but tbh i don't know
how good is prot execute? i was wondering when i was spamming heroics
it mitigates a bunch of dmg as well
i was running venthir
solid
wow
It trucks
I mean, its good to see a tier where the people playing the tanks can literally go "I wanna play this one"
cause the gaps re miniscule
yeee
personally i like brewmaster's tanking style
since legion
i liked prot a lot in WOD
so you enjoy placing a feeder bird on your keyboard to hit ISB every 5 seconds and watch netflix
and paladin tank as well
You blew my mind, no one liked prot in WoD
life long prot players stopped playing prot in WoD
Literally one of the few times I can say IT was LITERALLY not viable to play Prot for Mythic prog
i didint use it for raid tho,
just some dungeons and question
and im speaking just for fun factor
explains it, yeah Gladiator was a ton of fun as long as you didn't raid
but prot was getting rolled up and smoked by early bosses in mythic BRF
ooof
miss gladiator
same, was fun as hell
I miss gladiator the way I miss that goth GF that got me fired from a job and maxed out 2 of my creditcards
how did gladiator play?
was it good as a defensive or offensive playstile?
like a Steam Locomotive without brakes
after the nerfs
like a flipperhanded monkey on a tricycle
it got prot nerfed into the ground
and it took 2 patches to recover
oof
Lightee is playing prot warrior because he thinks it's a better tank than brewmaster
It's that simple tbh
people having a hard time wrapping their brain around a tier where BrM is not smoothbrain autopilot
I knew a prot warrior who was doing mythic in WoD
Seemed fine
But then again I wasn't doing mythic raiding then
its like the same people every expansion launch coming in asking for help/advice to play a prot warrior, and then arguing with you because they simply cant accept the advice or help you offer them
I was just a shitty wind Walker back then
Or the people who come in and argue over stats and call us dumbasses
That one is my favorite
you honestly know nothing
jesus christ the dungeon group was painful
M+ is kinda painful in general it probably won't be in a great place for a while
oh no this was while leveling
was top dps on the last boss of NW
and we had a geared lvl 60
the fuck?
my favorite was people asking if vers corruption was needed, we would say no, they would go on to say vers is better bc "defense" for their weekly 15s.

Please don't remind me
but all the top tanks are running vers
That whole 15-20 bracket so many people saying vers was so good and not even knowing when to press shield block
LOL
@civic rover dang I wish I had a gf 
divorce worthy
Do you ever feel you have to kite more than you have to? Due to groups not doing shit
yeah but then i have to get another gf
overall tanking rn involves more kiting
last few runs have been people not knowing to run past spiteful mobs as opposed to sitting there dpsing them
Its the first or second day of a new affix. Best to assume no one knows what it is and let them know the plan before starting.
so that's been ....fun.... in the dorf fortress sense
that's the thing, I did tell them what to do, they flat out ignored me lmao
Haha, well I can't help ya there. They'll learn through deaths 🙂
Yes but that's all tanks rn
Does anyone have any trips for this week? 😄
It can't target tanks, but you can help your melee/ranged by CCing them
iirc
Haven't done a key yet
Ikarikaze was saying it could
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Could be
I don't think I got targetted in a key I just did but tbh I wasn't paying much attention to it.
It's free pad, so go ham
eyir cocks

kill all mobs at once like you were playing bolstering
save fear/shockwave/spear for mob kill stick all the ghosts to one spot and run to the next pull
having cap totem in the group helps a lot
it can, IF nothing else is around to be targeted
I also had a ghost smash a rogue into the ground and then target me
Vers stacking in 15s
Bro you NEED 90% vers!??!!
The tanks doing 30s are also stacking vers
You need it for your weekly no leaver 15!!
For the most part m+ this week is just making sure you set yourself and your healer up for success
Also, I know why the ghost popped me
if they're targeting a hunter and they FD
it just rolls a dice and picks another target

So normally it can't pop tanks
i dindt see IP on your bar, are you not using it?
didnt
It's the small number
Above my HP
Only have text based IP display
And I don't need the button to be displayed on my WAs cuz why lmao
i got ya
Upgrade 190 Thunderlord stompers upto 225 or craft 210 Wall Shoulders? Doing m+ only but seen a lot protwarrs with the wall in keys
Nom still has IP bound to mousehweel from Legion
any venthyr prots can tell me how condemn/IP is best done?
I'm crazy so if I can condemn and don't need shield block, I do it.
condemn to finish off mobs and if you just put up shield block
Condemn is so satisfying to press
i meant more like, replace IP with the Condemn debuff but probably not huh
making me want to go condem
think it was mathed out the condemn debuff is basically the same as an ip in single target
It's big dam and still does some mit
when you can condemn*
that was pre nerf Iron
It's worse
condemn is less, but a full absorb
But it's still worth pressing over IP tbh in single target
Until the 2nd to last week of beta
But yeah its a full "reduces the next X damage"
while IP is "Reduces incoming damage by 50% up to Y value"
ah, i never kept up with it, my choice was night fae or kyrian from the beginning
I was sold the moment I saw the animation
☝️
I'd love to play Venthyr
Im doing it, yolo
But the fact that it's just not good in 90% of the dungeon makes it a no go
For me at least
idk im feeling like i might make the switch
my dh is kyrian and i dont really wanna play the camp over as them again
Winged Smurfs, got sick of them end of week 1
i have my hpal in them which is why i went NF at first
but yoloed into venthyr because i wanna condemn dammit
condemn nearly 1 shots stuff in Torghast
is fun
Also trucks on single target
Big downside though, no Kyrian pot, or swolkin talent reset
or tether spear
condemn kinda owns
I don't have any condemn prot logs >< cuz I don't raid as prot right now 😢
noice
Condemn prot is fun, but i might go kyrian for later bosses in mythic prog
But i hate everything about the kyrian, but the potion and spear too good
Or might use the general draven tree instead
I'm a fury main, so I'm a condemn boy
I'm a fury main by not choice
arm man AMA
Plus, I can truck on dps with condemn
Rather I'm arms now
Sucks that chaning cov is pain because of renown
because I got a crappy 2h
but its still a 2h
Had to literally pick it out of the garbage in Maldraxxus
I wish necro was good, id swap insta
I memed a boss in torghast with condemn, the thing that makes it hit harder and useable at any hp%, and a rage mote...I condemned that boss from 100% to dead in like 20s.
My hp bar didn't move
20s? slow
I don't know the exact time, it was last week some time
Condemn with all of hte boosts in there can hit for nearly 1m
but thats perfect anima power stacking
gotten it once
literally leaped on the boss hit DS and Condemn
Yeah, I was getting 30k crits constantly
"PoP"
I did avatar while charging in, were you running BV or DR?
Hello guys, so i play arms and im having difficulties playing high keys. What is your experience as prots in those keys? Do you get invites too?
whats high keys
Do you mean just getting invited to them?
BV Steak
always BV
DR is dead to me
after it was nerfed
Ah, I run DR for the snap threat and so I have an extra button press since going devastator
Been thinking of playing around with BV
I run dr and am
Are the 2 melee attacks from sludgefist 2 seperate attacks?
i got iqd trinket
I used ravager on beta
hey there, what legendary to craft first thunderlord or the wall??
You mean the secondary attack that goes to the closest target? They are
I may try out the bv and ravager route though
Do you M+ more or raid more?
@vivid rain depends on convent
Really just go with the Wall
Content*
since its a solid RPS gain, and works well in both.
