daring hound
#

I main fury, but might switch arms for raid bc i care about my dps. Just wanna prot for m+

heavy sail
#

If your only concern in mythic+ then I would choose thunderlords personally

#

But either are good options

half latch
#

im basically mostly m+ and pvp only, so im being told thunderlord but i feel like the wall...

heavy sail
#

Do what you feel

half latch
#

do u have any first hand exp w thunderlord? does it actually feel great

heavy sail
#

Yeah it was my first craft

#

It definitely feels great in torghast and m+

daring hound
#

the only issue i

#

is

#

i don't have the power yet

heavy sail
#

Puts demo shout uptime to around 40%

daring hound
#

maybe its better to run a few m+ as prot through spires only

#

to get it

heavy sail
#

The 20% DR/damage amp is too good for me to pass up

#

The synergy with booming voice is moist

daring hound
#

basically means i should go booming voice and unstoppable tho right

#

nd not ravager

half latch
#

see my situation is i have access to the wall since i am just now crafting a prot one

heavy sail
#

Right

daring hound
#

yeah o i only have teh wall

#

and just wanna be able to get to +10 and better keys

half latch
#

im thinking wall helps me more in that way as well compared to TL

undone jacinth
#

at 10 ur not really going to be needing wall that much

#

the reason u take TL is for damage basically

daring hound
#

our most important item is shield too right

undone jacinth
#

ye

daring hound
#

okay'

#

i have a 184 rn

heavy sail
#

20% mitigation is great too

half latch
#

haste vers?

undone jacinth
#

it is but wall is more

heavy sail
#

Particularly great that it effects magic damage

daring hound
#

crit vers

#

yeah idk

#

i think i just want wall but

#

bc fortifying

#

all the strong adds is scary

heavy sail
#

Yea haste/vers for legendaries will generally be your best bet

daring hound
#

as prot?

undone jacinth
#

honestly at 10s ur Lego isn’t going to make the difference, pick the one u feel like u will play with the best

heavy sail
#

Yup

half latch
#

yea i thought haste was the big stat

daring hound
#

heard

heavy sail
#

Haste is your primary stat focus, yeah.

undone jacinth
#

get urself a bit of gear and ull be fine

daring hound
#

if i plan on maining m+ as prot

#

is it worth making my loot spec prot until i get a 200+ shield

#

or will 184 do e well

#

me **

undone jacinth
#

it’s worth it

half latch
#

ive noticed the 2h come from diff dungeons than shields so ijust spec what i want

heavy sail
#

I would just do the short conquest grind and get the 200ilvl PvP shield

daring hound
#

ho wmuch is it?

heavy sail
#

You could do it in an afternoon

daring hound
#

cause im saving for a cape

#

my cape is still 184 u.u

heavy sail
#

450 conquest

daring hound
#

oh

#

i can just buy that now

#

im at 648

undone jacinth
#

gz

#

new shield for Christmas

daring hound
#

haahha

fiery badge
#

Gorechop trash is really rough

daring hound
#

okay

#

i think ill just do that

fiery badge
#

how do you deal w/ it

daring hound
#

get that shield

#

maybe craft the wall

storm urchin
#

Hi all, general prot question, do you think Blizz touching the tuning knobs on Necro in the future can make it ever compete with Kyrian? trying to decide if the switch is worth is since I never use fleshcraft and conq banner feels boring

daring hound
#

idk

#

i dont think iw ant to wait to get thunderlord

#

its p high chance from an m+ tho right

undone jacinth
#

yeah very high

#

but if u don’t wanna wait then don’t wait

#

ur not gonna be ruining ur char

undone jacinth
daring hound
#

aghhh

storm urchin
#

I'm curious if they can ever add anything to the banner to make it compete with the vial

daring hound
#

the decision is so hard

wicked lantern
undone jacinth
#

idk the banner cd for me makes it completely unusable, they will have to change it to something else in the future but that might not be for a while

storm urchin
#

do you think it's worth switching now instead of just waiting?

heavy sail
#

Only you can decide that

undone jacinth
#

I switched from venthyr to kyrian and I don’t regret it at all

storm urchin
#

I feel like I'm missing out every week in raid when I could be avoiding mechanics

heavy sail
#

@undone jacinth same

#

I was planning on doing fury

astral crystal
undone jacinth
#

vial is amazing and spear is really cool

storm urchin
#

does it actually work on all bleeds in raid right now?

torpid granite
#

I played with Cobden but I think I like spear better honestly

undone jacinth
#

not all but a lot

narrow sorrel
#

so how does warrior dps compare to other tanks?

astral crystal
#

all except stone legion

undone jacinth
#

st dps is a bit of a struggle but it’s alright and spell reflect can do work still

daring hound
#

whats big boss spells we can reflect

undone jacinth
#

scythe in ToP!

#

soulcrusher in DoS etc

#

there’s a reflect sheet in pins

daring hound
#

oh

#

pog

narrow sorrel
#

spell reflect is too hard to use imo, most of the time I find a spell gets interupted before i can reflect it if at all. it's weird the amount of spells that can't be reflected.

undone jacinth
#

the only one I find dumb is the patty cake from mists boss

#

seems like it should clearly be reflectable

mighty valley
#

yeah it's not super consistent

#

but on the ones you know, i'll yell "don't interrupt the first X" etc

near quarry
#

What Endurance conduit you guys running? Can't decide which feels best

narrow sorrel
#

who has time to do that XD

steady spruce
#

Ignore pain conduit is best i believe

brisk flax
#

So what is the go to reflect now that desires cant be reflected on Inerva?

#

most of them are reflectable, which is the best choice?

daring hound
#

what slot should thunderlord go on?

mighty valley
#

boots

daring hound
#

Thanks!

safe fulcrum
#

Are there any tips on Lady Darkvein. Just tried to do heroic and got smashed

steel mauve
#

Most of the time thunderlords is better in m+ than the wall, but thats mostly of the avg players play, the wall is a good competitor, but thats the use of shield wall, if you dont use shield wall often enough then the wall loses value

#

You use demo shout on cd, you dont regularly use shield wall on cd so the wall devalues

sick sentinel
#

Is shattering throw another ability should take off bars? Doesn't seem like it has much or any use

safe fulcrum
#

It doess 500% dmg to absorbs. Can be useful in M+

tall ginkgo
#

I use it heaps in m+

sick sentinel
#

Which dungeons can it be used in

#

Oh it does 500% to any absorb shield? I thought it was just useful for breaking immunity

tall ginkgo
#

Necrotic wake, dos, spires off the top of my head

sick sentinel
#

I'll have to W A Whenever target is absorbing then

tall ginkgo
#

Yeah it's huge DMG to an absorb

soft vector
#

It still deals trash damage but it's worth using. I use it for hakkar, spires of ascension golem trash, and for final boss of necrotic wake.

sick sentinel
#

Spires on the giants after first boss I guess?

#

I ran that place million times last week

tall ginkgo
#

The shield you break through for burst dmg on the skele trash in necrotic wake is good

serene valve
#

Hey guys My friends want me to tank. Do you think prot war and prot pally both pretty equal in m+

sick sentinel
#

Pala ie better atm

#

But warrior is always strong tank when done right

serene valve
#

Oo okay ty

kindred warren
#

Not the best but not the worst

#

The mobility is nice tho

serene valve
#

Tanks seem to kite a lot atm

neat dirge
#

yeah on higher M+

#

u need to kite some pulls

#

you'll learn when to kite

#

and when to not

#

like me i did by dying alot

#

😦

near quarry
#

fortified def makes me feel like i gotta kite my ass off

faint gulch
#

whats the recommended ilevel before a group can consider attempting M7+?

undone jacinth
#

185 or something probs

faint gulch
sick sentinel
#

M+ success has a very large number of things that can make them successful or not

#

Entire team needs to play well in anything above 10

faint gulch
undone jacinth
#

u could do it earlier than 185 but I assumed the group wouldn’t play perfect so gives you a little bit of room

faint gulch
#

ah makes sense. more mistakes, more gear needed

pure sun
chilly brook
#

@pure sun give me a minute

#

the basic answer is he's just not pressing his buttons

#

His talents are also kinda fucked

#

he shouldn't be using war machine

#

he should be using Devastator

#

He's casting Devastate way too much

#

And he's running BV but not hitting Demoralizing Shout on CD which is a big no no

#

Tbh both of your guys' rotations need work

stray sierra
#

i have a question but i was too scared to try it in my key earlier

#

on the 2nd boss in mists, can u spell reflect and charge the fox thing that freezes u

#

and not get frozen?

fallow mortar
stray sierra
#

damn 😦

chilly brook
#

@fallow mortar you mean wow analyzer?

fallow mortar
#

ya

chilly brook
#

It explains every category to you

fallow mortar
#

sure, but I am not seeing how you were able to see that they were not pushing buttons for mitigation

pure sun
#

@chilly brook Thanks for the info, mind giving me pointers on what I should be changing?

sick sentinel
#

Dumb question, Im currently Kyrian because only play prot but if I want to play sort of both arms and prot, should I switch to Venthyr? Is Condemn ok for prot?

chilly brook
pure sun
#

@sick sentinel Not a big deal to have codemn tbh, Plka runs it in 15's and he mains arms warrior so its not game changing

fallow mortar
river pasture
#

lost my heroic castle raid spot tonight to a death knight. feels bad man.

chilly brook
river pasture
chilly brook
sick sentinel
#

@pure sun So might as well switch to Venthyr yeah? Condemn seems pretty strong for arms

#

vs. spear of bastion

fallow mortar
#

ahhhh ok 👍

chilly brook
#

These things

pure sun
#

@sick sentinel Its also good for arms, provides lots of rage and damage so

sick sentinel
#

Ok

#

Ill stick to it then

chilly brook
#

I mean spear is objectively better for prot

#

same with ancient aftershock

#

your limiter in keys is everyone else around you

sick sentinel
#

Yeah was planning on mainly playing prot in keys but guild is full on tanks for the alt run tonight

quaint fjord
#

what do you think is the easiest dungeon this week ?

cinder nova
#

Jesus this week is a ball ache

lavish oracle
#

Easiest dungeon every week is mists, basically

#

I actually don't mind spiteful, our rogue kinda gets fucked but mostly everyone else just points and laughs

#

Wish they'd make spiteful die faster on it's own

#

Like 10% health per second rather than 4%

quaint fjord
#

ok thanks, i think it's 8% tho

shadow furnace
#

For m+ how useful is thunder lord vs boss compared to Wall?

lavish oracle
#

Oh, it is 8% I guess it just ticks every half second

restive wigeon
#

sup guys I just recently got into prot and im eating shit in +10 and above

#

is there a more defensive build I could play

fallow kestrel
# quaint fjord what do you think is the easiest dungeon this week ?

there is a cool site that basically provides the tier lists for current week affixes (best mdd, rdd, tank, heal, dungeon, etc.) https://mplus.subcreation.net

wintry jetty
#

I seem to struggle more when I'm healed by a disc in 10+, player(s) problem or somehow bad synergy?

ionic pewter
#

If you're talking this week disc sucks for grievous

quartz mist
#

honestly ive pushed a healer to grev, its good. spiteful with melee is to worry about

novel temple
#

dont atonement heals take stacks off for grievous now?

sick sentinel
#

hey guys, is 184 Anima Field Emmitter better than 216 Viscera?

#

people said viscera sucked

valid scaffold
#

Hi guys, recently i start tanking and right now im feeling like im doing low dmg and some pulls in +8 +9 destroy me this week, i dont know if is my build or my stats

#

night fae covenant + Niya

novel temple
#

goo booming voice

lavish oracle
#

Your damage seems fine, as far as overall goes

dense flame
#

Do ppl like ITF better than ravager?

valid scaffold
#

i was testing and i do the same dmg with both talents

lavish oracle
#

Try them both, I like Ravager better in keys, and ITF better in raid

valid scaffold
#

overcap haste tho 33%

dense flame
#

Can’t seem to get a higher shield than 190

#

valid scaffold
#

Anger managment is good? how is the average time you reduce from your Avatar?

lavish oracle
#

It's hard to say why you're taking so much damage in an 8 or a 9, omuky. It's low enough that the damage in take should be fine basically no matter what talents you take as long as you're playing correctly

#

Anger management is fine for lower keys, bolster is better defensively once you need the extra block uptime

valid scaffold
#

yes bolster is great

tender zealot
#

I feel like even in +8+9 I get shreked on every pull

#

basically need pocket shaman healer

lavish oracle
#

I would recommend watching how someone else play warrior in higher keys and see what they do differently

valid scaffold
#

But for example in de other side i do the first pull the 7 adds and some times i fear for my life in +9 doind that pull

neat root
#

I fear for my life doin that pull in a +2

valid scaffold
#

@lavish oracle do you have some link to a youtube or twich where i can see a war doing m+? any recomendations?

#

i currently just watching 3er week pushes from wars nothing recent

lavish oracle
#

Sense puts a bunch of keys on his youtube and twitch, Lightee ran a bunch of warrior keys before raid released to gear, and he was in like 185s

#

Should also be in his vods

#

Lemme pull up a link to Sense's youtube

valid scaffold
#

Ty perfect i will watch to learn

#

And "never surrender" is worst than "indomitable" in all cases right? i feel like that talent is a trap. just to confirm.

ocean yoke
#

Absolutely

valid scaffold
#

btw is there a macro to cast "Ravager" in the target without have to select the location in the ground?

hallow phoenix
#

/use [@cursor] Ravager

valid scaffold
#

the only one i know the for trow it in my feets

#

ty Tusks

steel mauve
#

There is at cursor so you dont need to click itll just spawn where your mouse is, within range

devout fulcrum
#

Spires of Ascension, first boss, do you guys just soak the Overhead Slash? Or have any of you been able to move fast enough to avoid it?

#

/cast [@fluid parrotget] Ravager should work as well

restive wigeon
#

just keep enough rage for ip and a sb charge for when shes about to do it

#

you cant really dodge it

devout fulcrum
#

Yeah, been pretty rough the higher I get in keys, wasn't sure if I was missing something obvious

neat root
#

My healer really hates that move

devout fulcrum
#

she casts it at 100 energy, and I have been trying to pre straffe it

restive wigeon
#

overhead slash is kind of weird, sometimes it barely tickles other times it oneshots me

devout fulcrum
#

but haven't dodged it yet.

neat root
#

Yeah I've heard that you can dodge it but I havnt had much luck

#

Or sidestep it rather

restive wigeon
#

technically if youre really close to her and strafe right/left you can dodge it

#

I pulled it off a few times

#

however I think its just better to not rely on that

fathom sundial
#

is there a secret to not getting destroyed?

restive wigeon
#

I mean if you have a fresh ip and sb running when she does it

#

it doesnt hurt

neat root
#

Yeah as long as I mitigate it it's generally fine but after hearing you could side step it I had to try it

fathom sundial
#

i did a 12 DoS charge into a pack, have SB and wall up and die in 3 seconds. Is this a warrior issue or am i just trash?

restive wigeon
#

was it the pack in front of zg?

fathom sundial
#

uh

#

i think

restive wigeon
#

hero that on fortified

#

like 100%

#

that pack

fathom sundial
#

we did

restive wigeon
#

has insane oneshot potential

fathom sundial
#

bonestrike does 11k dmg through shield block

restive wigeon
#

yeh go in there pop your shit

#

hit 2 or 3 buttons

#

and start to kite

#

I did it on 12 today as well

#

and I lived somehow

fathom sundial
#

so we just have to kite everything or die even with mitigation up?

restive wigeon
#

not everything but like that pack in particular

#

is scary as fuck

fathom sundial
#

i legit feel

#

every single pack im in danger and my healer is good

hallow phoenix
#

bring 3 boomkins

#

rotate treants

#

never tank again

restive wigeon
#

hm not sure, I pulled half of the ardenweald part

#

and facetanked it

fathom sundial
#

tbf im 200 ilvl and have double haste trinks

restive wigeon
#

it just nasty dots

#

being dangerous

fathom sundial
#

with 190 tclap boots

#

but i still feel like i should be able to survive longer then i am

restive wigeon
#

im around the same ilvl

#

idk are you keeping track of youre ip and sb?

#

you*

#

your**

fathom sundial
#

i am a dps main tbf

#

yes i am

restive wigeon
#

ye same

fathom sundial
#

like i legit went into a pull with block/wall

restive wigeon
#

Whenever I feel like I cant mitigate enough I just start to panic and kite

fathom sundial
#

got barked and just died

hallow phoenix
#

If nothing is kicked you'll die no matter what

fathom sundial
#

kicks were fine that run

hallow phoenix
#

Shadowcore needs to be kicked or reflected. The scribes do a nasty cast too (not the aoe)

restive wigeon
#

to be honest DOS in general feels overtuned

hallow phoenix
#

It's the worst dungeon imo

#

Really tight timer

#

Awful packs

restive wigeon
#

the pack in front of zg on fortified

#

is legit impossible as war tank without popping everything

#

unless you have god tier dps

#

that blast the shit out of it

#

hakkar is awfully overtuned as well

hallow phoenix
#

I found hakkar to be the easiest boss there

#

As long as you have prideful and a healer that knows how to top you off

restive wigeon
#

have you done hakkar on higher than 10

#

its a pain even on fortified

#

you wanna hero the pack in front of zg but if you dont have hero for hakkar hes gonna overwhelm you if the fight goes on for too long

#

just a shit dungeon

hallow phoenix
#

Did hakkar last week in a 13

#

Failed the timer due to manastorm

fathom sundial
#

so everyone is using unerving focus

#

that doesnt seem very good, am i just dumb?

hallow phoenix
#

Which one is that

fathom sundial
#

last stand increase rage gen

restive wigeon
#

the damage that adds to ignore pain is the best endurance conduit

#

even tho thats still not good

hallow phoenix
#

I think people realized the IP one is bad cause it gets chewed through too fast

restive wigeon
#

its the best out of the options

hallow phoenix
#

Can't add to the shield if the shield goes bye bye too fast

fathom sundial
#

19 out of the top 20 prots on IO are running it

restive wigeon
#

I mean if youre playing that conduit

#

you definitely wanna play aggressive talents

novel temple
#

how do you all even like

restive wigeon
#

im not even playing endurance conduit tho

novel temple
#

turn fast enough for stavros

novel temple
#

on council

fathom sundial
#

well appreciate the help boys

novel temple
#

but yeah, the ip conduit is dog shit

#

unless youve got CDs up

#

and even then it doesnt refresh

#

so if youre doing easier content its just going to sort of building up and then youre casting IP again anyway to keep IP up

fathom sundial
#

one last thing if you guys dont mind

#

would a 220 phail of putrefaction be better then a 207 heraldry / 200 decanter / 184 anima emiter

hallow phoenix
#

better than decanter

fathom sundial
#

my other trinket is darkmoon voracity

hallow phoenix
#

decanter stinky

prisma gorge
#

how you guys find competitive people? i just got 195ish people rshaman, druid, hunter, dh... no enrage dispells, no earthbinds, no tar trap, all running like chickens from spites, no cc at all, its really embarrasing with 195ish gears to deplet DOS 7. How you find people that have spells on bars and use them?

restive wigeon
#

check them on warcraftlogs

#

if they have average logs above 80

#

theyre probably okay

fathom sundial
hallow phoenix
#

I'd probably run Heraldry + phial

prisma gorge
hallow phoenix
#

heraldy + DMD: Voracity would be the more defensive option

fathom sundial
#

appreciate it

restive wigeon
#

im very picky with people that I invite

#

but if they have good logs they prolly know what theyre doing

#

its not a guarantee

#

but the best criteria

#

Yarp, we did our heroic reclear (still working on Vampire Chad) and I found out live that I couldn't reflect it any more 😦

#

it's not game breaking really...it just means I don't have an extended window where I can hold her before we swap? honestly not sure why they bothered to 'fix' that

#

It was one thing in legion; where on Mythic goroth (tomb of sargeras) we could literally reflect his entire tank swap mechanic every time with the double reflect pants..and essentially delete that encounters challenge.

If the whole group uses its interrupts/cc/cds on the group before ZG in DoS the pack is hard but it won’t be a wipe

And that basically applies to all dungeons

I tend not to pug m+ anymore, sometimes we need 1 dps when my friends are not all there but it’s all about coordination. We sit in discord and I assign kicks and I’m calling/marking etc

Fellas, i need adult supervision. I'm stuck between picking Sanguine Vintage and the pants from Generals (Both 207). My question is: Is Sanguine that much better than Blood-Spattered (184 ilvl). I also have the choice of the 200 ilvl shield, but i reckon that's not worth?

hallow phoenix
#

what ilvl is your current shield

grim wigeon
#

187

hallow phoenix
#

i'd take the shield

#

but i also havent had a shield drop for me since xpac launch

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

grim wigeon
#

Should note that all items i would upgrade are 184. (except 187 shield ofc)

#

I've been super lucky with weps, drops in general I suppose, so yeh :P

hallow phoenix
#

the shield upgrade will have the largest impact on your survival

eager phoenix
#

If you pvp you can buy a 200 ilvl shield for conqurst and pick the trinket

hallow phoenix
#

cant you also just get the pvp trinkets

#

which i hear are nice

grim wigeon
#

That's a good point, I do PvP. Didn't think of that one.

hallow phoenix
#

since you pvp i recommend doing what cruisectrl said

eager phoenix
#

Only need 1600 rating to upgrade it to 213 and if you dont raid more than hc thats basically as good as your shield gets outside great vault rng

grim wigeon
#

So pants upgrade is more stats (184 ilvl to 207), and trinket would replace Blood-Spattered, same ilvl increase. How useful is the Sanguine shield?

#

As opposed to Blood-Spattered

hallow phoenix
#

If you plan on pushing into high-ish keys grab the vintage, good trinkets seem hard to come by

#

wait whats your second trink

#

blood spattered is really good

grim wigeon
#

I've been lucky

eager phoenix
#

Hmm maybe legs then

#

And default blood spattered

#

Unless you wanna jungle trinkets

#

Like 1min cd vs 2min

grim wigeon
#

I feel like Blood-Spattered is just so good. Double CD tho I see

hallow phoenix
#

but its goooood

#

deals reasonable damage too

#

very useful for start of pulls

#

get the pants i suppose

grim wigeon
#

Yeah it's a hell of a bonk in an opener.

eager phoenix
#

Im a trinket Guy so id go trinket. Legs you just get from conq vendor if you dont luck out from raid/m+

hallow phoenix
#

you pvpers 😠

#

i should pvp

grim wigeon

Haha, it's fun if you can get your hands on a decent wep for arms, IMO.

guys i have a question regarding the signet lego for prot .. it doesnt proc out of ravager as prot ? only avatar?

jagged pier
#

only avatar

#

different spell ids to arms and fury

olive sluice
#

is this a bug because both fury and arms proc from two abilities

sweet summit
#

we dont know

olive sluice
#

ok

jagged pier
#

I mean you would have thought by now they would have fixed it

nimble plover
#

I have full pvp gear basically but Im gonna do some m+ as prot. Now, I need tips for which trinkets I should go for that are easy to get. Currently i only got pvp trinkets, one 207 with str and 184 with haste.

i tried to report this

Protection Warrior - Legendary[ Signet of Tormented Kings ]

I would like to ask if this legendary is working as intended for Protection Warrior. As stated, in the description written on the Legendary "Activating Bladestorm, Recklessness, or Avatar randomly casts one of the other two abilities at reduced effectiveness" When I play my Arms or Fury Warrior I can activate this legendary power through Bladestorm/Ravager, Recklessness(Fury), or Avatar(Arms) so I have two methods of activating this power on Arms and Fury Warrior but on Protection Warrior I only have one method of doing so. Can you please explain this?

sweet summit

id take the belt with this limited information

The belt is the long game option and the cloak is better short term , just interested to see if people are playing for the long game or not

Is the kiting part of our tanking?

always check ur debuffs too

yes you have to kite during downtime

Do I really need to kite?

I have 190 sylvan whiteshield and Darkmoon tanking trinket, Gorechop trinket at 184. Should I prioritize getting better trinkets or a better shield?

sweet summit
#

thunderclap is a 30% slow, you have hleap intervene shockwave

#

shield>trinket in most cases

#

if you can, just replace the darkmoon tank trinekt with the dps one that gives haste

and yes dh is better for m+

What everyone forgets is that the game is designed around warriors being the only tank

Every other class tank is designed to match the content. Blizz do this by adding their spells with % reduction etc etc and tweaking as content changes

Its not about the class

its not about warriors

its about block ... dodge .. parry.. armor etc

sick sentinel
#

how important is a 190 legendary? im an arms warrior but thinking about getting a 190 legendary to tank m+ or should i get the pvp arms warrior legendary?

sweet summit
#

il just using signet

#

has been working so far

jagged pier
#

all other tanks have armour dodge parry and other tanks also block

autumn narwhal
#

yes they do

#

but how did blizzard compensate the other tanks for the fact warriors can block

#

and they cant block

jagged pier
#

paladions can

autumn narwhal
#

they gave them a new ability that has an equation which mitigates damage around the same amount

eager phoenix
#

Yeah

autumn narwhal
#

and that equation is what gets edited to tune them in line with block

#

sometimes it is overpowered which makes them greater tanks

#

which is what we are seeing now

jagged pier
#

but paladins are squishier they are only pick mroe because of their damage

autumn narwhal
#

most of the time it is an ability that reduces a % of damage - which is better than block because block is only physical damage.

#

this is where we see warriors being weak in magic damage zones

eager phoenix
#

Also don’t think the biggest issue with tanks are the tanks but the group composition in an m+ setting. I feel if in legion tanks had too much self sustain and in BFA damage output was a big factor. Now it feels fine tanking generally but issue arise when you don’t have the non aoe capped classes with you

onyx matrix
#

I play prot in pvp, fight me

eager phoenix
#

You can’t man fight forever so you end up kiting. And you’re probably kiting more when it’s a melee shitshow

autumn narwhal
#

My warrior stands up very well to melee shit show - its when it is magic damage i tend to find myself spamming the ignore pain button until i cant feel my finger

proven herald

does the food that make you breathe fire give more deeps than a +haste or +crit food?

Can you tell me that prot warrior is a dps tank

sweet summit
#

i can but i would be lying

steady spruce
#

Do you guys prioritize having shield block or ignore pain up? What about revenge? Do you do it by gut feeling?

#

Like when you pull a big pack what's your priority

undone jacinth
#

Block unless there’s no physical

oak heart
#

depends on the fight. melee = shield block

#

revenge when it's free

undone jacinth
#

I revenge whenever I can

jagged pier
#

you dont only revenge when its free now

#

you revenge when u have SB up and if you dont need IP or have IP up

oak heart
#

how often do you not need IP?

restive flax
#

How do y'all deal with this weird new affix that spawns these melee oneshot ghosts?

#

Just dont use melee DPS?

oak heart
#

press w

#

this week is shit for melee

steady spruce
#

Thunder Clap and sometimes harmstring or stuns

restive flax
#

Dude if one of those fuckers spawns in a high key and hits a melee once they just fall over

steady spruce
#

is enough

oak heart
#

or play with better melee 😛 if they are dying to a fixate it's their own fault

restive flax
#

I mean. If you are in midst a big pull overlooking one tiny dude can happen

undone jacinth
#

melee need something that shows the fixate on a name plate and then they shouldn’t die

#

they will also do no dps though if the packs aren’t killed evenly

restive flax
#

If its one ghost on a melee mid fight I just intervene on that guy and tell him to chill. But when its more I'm pissed 😄

#

It just annoys me that you cant see immediately who theyre targeting

undone jacinth
#

I play feral and it’s easy enough to just root or stun it but we do have extra melee range

restive flax
#

I can mostly deal with em just by saving stuns n shit for them, but like... with fortified I need stuns for the packs itself sometimes

jagged pier
restive flax
#

I dont see how that statement helps me

oak heart
#

your problem is that they die from not moving?

restive flax
#

My problem is that I cant pull multiple packs because I need damage on the pack / packs but melees still need to run

oak heart
#

how many melee do you play with?

restive flax
#

2

#

me + 2

oak heart
#

any dps warrs?

restive flax
#

nope

#

well

#

sometimes, but rare

#

usually 2 pallys

oak heart
#

im sure pallys can dps out of melee range too

restive flax
#

I just find it tedious

fiery badge
#

I don’t think that an Rsham is a good healer to run ToP with, the diseases from Gorechop trash hurt and the shaman can dispel them

restive flax
#

You can avoid a lot of them

#

But yeah, it helps a lot if you have someone who can dispell them

fiery badge
#

I was using stuns and kicks to stop them

#

But I couldn’t get everything

restive flax
#

You could still have a DPS cleanse the diseases

#

and still use a shaman

#

because shamans are damn strong atm

fiery badge
#

We had a Ret with us but I’m pretty sure he didn’t have cleanse on his bar

Well yeah, thats unfortunate 😄

#

I have 2 pallys with me and I'm a fan of the disease free zone

As a tank they don't target you

kill a kyrian and steal his potion

So I ignore them and laugh as my friends get insta gibbed

restive flax

that sounds really productive 😄

#

And even if they did target you... youd still laugh because they deal no damage

fiery badge
#

Are you talking about the little mobs that jump around to random players? @amber herald

amber herald
#

The ghosts lol

restive flax
#

to a tank I mean*

amber herald
#

Two real tips though

#

They die on their own so you can ignore them like 6/10 times

#

And if you're quick you can actually mount up before they spawn

#

So if you kill all the adds at the same time like it's a bolstering week everyone can mount up

#

And just run away

restive flax
#

They die on their own?

amber herald
#

Yep

fiery badge
#

You can mount at ToP?

#

Where?

amber herald
#

Obv not gonna work in a dungeon you can't mount in

restive flax

at the very start I guess 😄

Can't get through the maze without killing them all first

restive flax
#

oh

#

Yeah well they have like what... 70k hp?

#

that wont cost you that much time

amber herald
#

depends on the key level I think

restive flax
#

I hope

Didnt pay much attention to their hp

What’s up everyone, I’ve recently picked up prot for my raid team as we want to use battle shout, but I am very new to warrior raiding. I was wondering if I should always keep shield block on cool down?

dense pivot
#

as long as you are getting hit by blockable stuff

jagged pier
#

dont use it when your not tanking

#

and have it up as much as possible when u are but dont cast it when like the boss is casts etc save a few seconds

#

take bolster to help with sb uptime as it lets you get your charges back

#

and one big think new prot warriors is to keep 30 rage for SB at all times

deft vessel
#

what legendary do you folks use in m+ ? I used thunderlord for the first week of the season (and fortified) and also used Unstoppable Force and Anger management, for week two I swapped to Bolster for survivability as I Started doing higher keys more consistently (and my gear didn't really follow) and I swapped to the wall and ravager (still booming voice)

#

now I'm considering going back to thunderlord for this week but keeping bolster and ravager (and booming voice) but not sure if worth

#

probably worth

#

i kind of like both legendaries xD

#

for context - i mostly pug, 670 r.io right now, 193 (if I recall) equipped

jagged pier
#

its preference what leggo you like basically, i prefer the wall at all times but its whatever you like wearing really

#

and you should always be running booming voice

#

with any leggo or talents

#

and you can take ITF over ravager if you like that, but that again is preference

deft vessel
#

yeah I pretty much always use booming voice in raid and m+, I sometimes swap to dragon shout in open world random stuff (maw/callings) cus I...like it and am sad I don't get to use it lul

#

and i do like ravager, I feel it gives me better control over threat

#

(which it probably does)

#

and also having more buttons to press that feel impactful is nice

cosmic charm
#

is there some writeup on dungeon/raid boss abilities that can be spell-reflected?

amber herald
#

first pin

deft vessel
#

as an aside - a part of me also wants to justify grinding for the god damn thunderlord legendary power

#

😦

#

it took me like 40 runs of spires to get it and I make sure not to be scummy so I did the full dungeon every time

interesting

deft vessel
#

so it's a matter of ...liking different things that don't quite work together (quite literally exclusive from each other)

astral crystal
#

just make sure you're not killing yourself to use it naturally

deft vessel
#

so I'll probably do the same, thunderlord just seems so much more worth it in a dungeon

#

maybe even worth using on tyrannical weeks

ionic fern
#

I'm using it eeeevery week.

deft vessel
#

but I used the wall last week (in part because until three days ago I still had a 171 shoulder so I used the wall to plug that slot...)

ionic fern
#

It won't make or brake anything. Heck, people are using Signet on higher keys.

deft vessel
#

now i have crappy stats 200 shoulders, so back to thunderlord for me (thunderlord is also gonna get to rank 3 this week I think)

ionic fern
#

The majority of the dungeons success comes down to your groups play and your own play.

#

Not your choice of Legendary.

deft vessel
#

aye, of course

ionic fern
#

I'm just lazy so i don't swap my legendaries.

#

😂

#

But i know a lot of people enjoy The Wall in m+.

deft vessel
#

I'm having decent success all things considered, it's a matter of figuring out what I find most comfortable and what I like the most

astral crystal
#

i dont do super high keys or anything but i do like the wall in m+

deft vessel
#

oh don't get me wrong, I don't do super high keys either, as mentioned further up, 670 r.io right now and 193 equipped

#

but in the keys I do I like to be as best as I can and contribute as much as I can 🙂

#

so I tend to overthink the various choices I have at my disposal

astral crystal
#

your best contribution as a tank is knowing the best route and not dying, our damage is pretty stinky right now

doesn't really matter, both have good advice, read both

#

They both offer information with very slight differences, reading both will probably give you a better idea of things

deft vessel
#

i tend to do well on routes, i goofed the theater of pain route the other week where we got last prideful add before the last (little) platform but yeah, rip

#

should've done the two mages instead of bonestorm dude and that would've hit the 100% (103% or something) on teh very last platform before the boss

#

still didn't time it cus the healer kept dying to boss mechanics but oh well, could've been more efficient from my end too (yay for combat res on a warrior tho lul)

#

I'm sure there's probably better optimizations in general i could've done, I went the route I normally follow, with the "mini boss" wing first, then the plague wing second and then the floaty platforms wing last

#

but hey, live and learn I guess

pliant narwhal
#

signet of tormented kings is only proccing of avater as prot ?

deft vessel

I mean, yes, of course, what else would it proc off of?

our ravager :)

but it doesnt

#

so im crying

pliant narwhal

yeah ravager doenst proc - is this a bug?

#

because on arms it works

sweet summit

we dont know

deft vessel

for all we know it's not, but there's not been any communication on it

pliant narwhal
#

k but someone reported that issue already? or shall i?

deft vessel
#

people have been reporting, I've reported once, but at this point I just assume it's only meant to proc off avatar and have kind of filed the legendary in the "make later" pile

wheat sleet
#

it procs on ravager as arms because it replaces bladestorm

#

prot doesnt have bladestorm

pliant narwhal

well ty:)

#

so not that good legendary as prot:/(

sweet summit

not really

pliant narwhal

(have experimented with the torghast power)

cinder nova

it's less critical in torghast so I haven't really given it a fair shot yet but yeah

cinder nova

I take checks and money orders

you still block during bs

well yeah, but if I do that then what the hell am I using the legendary for lol

cinder nova

sweet summit
#

and can cast demo/sb/ip/sr/sw/ls etc

cinder nova

I dunno

deft vessel

but yeah, either way, definitely making it a later date once i have some baseline of rank 4s ready

#

it's at least one of the more interesting ones (compared to many of the other options)

cinder nova
#

Does signet sim higher for prot, too?

#

Like - assuming we wanted a DPS leggo

sweet summit
#

arbiter sims the highest for us iirc

paper coral
#

Any guesses as to if we're gonna scale like we did in BFA, or even remotely as well?

sweet summit
#

we didnt "scale" in bfa, we got buffed after the first patch

paper coral
#

I knew I was saying it wrong.

sweet summit
#

but yeah, it gets better with more gear and haste

paper coral
#

I mean, we were already used in the race to world first successfully. M+ seems to be a little bit of a pain point for us compared to others (not a bad thing tho). That will improve for us as we gear and scale?

sweet summit
#

id imagine so, we also kind arely on big ilvl shield for damage reduction

uneven mason
#

Tank balance is insanely close this Xpac outside of the extreme ends of M+, but thats mostly due to how stronk VDH is at holding aggro while not tanking

paper coral
#

Yeah. I really like the "I'm not moving, you move" tank mentality and because of that I know i'll never really push high keys.

#

But I like the idea of being the unkillable fuck you tank with high DR.

#

and from what i'm reading shield block is pretty fucking good at that, and we have tools for magic damage.

cinder pasture
#

A lot of tankiness with warriors come with proper mitigation/cd usage aswell, difference between a badly played warrior and a good one is so huge

undone jacinth
#

same with most tanks tbh

#

is just the role

dusky mica
#

Default ui is garbage for tanks. That’s a big part of why new tanks suck. It doesn’t adequately show useful information.

paper coral
#

Thats one of the things I really like about FFXIV. Everything is cooked in by default.

dusky mica
#

You can’t tell if block is up or down, no idea about ip remaining or any other DR. You have to just guess

steady spruce
#

Default ui is garbage for most spec lol

deft vessel
#

I do think warrior is more punishing than most other tanks as far as mitigation goes, yes VDH and Prot Pally are also vulnerable but 1) vdh has more tools for mob control and even more mobility (and more self healing) and prot pally has essentially permanent uptime on their mitigation, the rest of teh tank lineup is not punished quite as badly for fuck ups

#

cooldown and resource management is definitely more of a factor for warrior than it is for a druid for example

#

esp early on where druid/bdk health pools and stagger tend to carry more weight since they are not as tied to gear scaling as armor/block is

#

so they're pretty good at tanking things undergeared

#

(which is for all intents and purposes where the majority of us still are)

#

all that said, my main frustration with prot warrior design in this expansion is that it seems the only goal heading into shadowlands was to nerf it from its previous iteration, nothing new of consequence was added (I guess execute is cool if you can spare the rage but it's so tacked onto the spec that even that is kind of boring)

#

they purposefully broke the positive feedback loop between demo shout, avatar and anger management (let's pretend they didn't give prot pally our old anger management) and they purposefully nuked the damage of prot warrior, in part by not leaving any uncapped ability and in part by reducing free procs on revenge to a staggering 2 ppm

#

so the niche prot warrior had, the high damage well scaling tank, evaporated

dusky mica
#

I find the ppm cool down they placed on revenge one of the dumbest things I’ve seen in this game.

deft vessel
#

it's just...disappointing

#

that the design goal wasn't to carve out a new niche for prot warrior, it's to just...make it a much weaker version of the bfa prot warrior

cinder pasture
#

Huh, I didn't know about that....Makes sense why I feel it doesn't proc very often 😛

deft vessel
#

and yes, revenge change is ...lame 😦

ocean yoke
#

pretty unnecessary change, not like our damage is insanely high anyway. Less procs on something that is pretty far down in the priority list

deft vessel
#

many of the changes were unnecessary, prot warrior would've likely landed under VDH still with the old play style in tact and with the worse scaling of gear at start of expansion, but it would've still had its niche as the high damage well scaling tank

#

now we're squishier, do less damage, and have no useful/practical niche that we fill

#

the one saving grace right now is that the DPS warrior specs are not in great shape either

#

so people may still consider us for battle shout

#

but yeah, as someone who played prot in BfA, i can't shake the feeling of just being ....worse in every regard

#

spear is cool tho, i got that going for me

undone jacinth
#

dunno if i'd call prot warrior a niche pick

#

it was the vdh of bfa m+

#

there's barely anything wrong with it now

#

sounds like an overreaction tbh

deft vessel
#

I'm not saying it was a "niche" pick, I'm saying it has its own niche, as in, it specialized in something and did that thing well

undone jacinth
#

doing loads of dmg and scaling well isn't a niche

#

that's just being overtuned

#

lol

deft vessel
#

i'm also not saying there's anything wrong with it now, I'm clearly here and clearly playing it

#

but it doesn't change the fact the mechanics that were at the core of the strength of prot warrior in bfa got either outright removed or significantly nerfed, while maintaining many other tanks' identities

undone jacinth
#

the mechanics were nerfed because the spec was broken

#

isnt complicated

deft vessel
#

it's like you're not even reading what I'm saying, either that or lack the understanding of nuance lol

undone jacinth
#

and there's more than 1 viable build this expac, the tank plays pretty well when you get used to it and it won the wf race

#

when it was awful in raid in bfa

hardy radish
#

I’ve got a question for y’all: should I be taunting Sludgefist when I pop shield wall or just let my cotank (a brewmaster) hold aggro the entire time?

deft vessel
#

and saying it was "awful in raid" is such an oversimplification and exaggeration of its own right

dusky mica
#

Limit took warrior because it was the least bad option for their players

cinder nova
#

Pretty sure Sludge doesn't have a swap mechanic

deft vessel
cinder nova
#

Just gotta hug your cotank

deft vessel
#

yeah I think it's pretty much that

undone jacinth
#

you just swap on sludge if ur cotank is out of defensives

hardy radish
#

I know it doesn’t have a swap mechanic, but I thought it was the primary target’s damage intake that determines how much the other tank gets hit for

cinder nova
#

Um?

#

Why would you swap

#

You're both getting hit for the same values

undone jacinth
#

cos the main tank takes melee and fists

deft vessel
#

that's what he's asking though, there's no functional difference I thought

undone jacinth
#

unless they fixed it the ot was not taking as much as the mt

cinder nova
#

You shouldn't ever be tanking both

tardy parcel
#

You're getting hit for the same values of the primary tank, so their defensives will cause you to take less damage

cinder nova
#

that means you're not close enough

#

No, the buff just does a fixed damage sum

#

It's not reliant on what your MT takes

paper coral
#

Dumb question, if the MT is a monk, the cotank doesn't take stagger damage, right?

hardy radish
#

In my personal experience, no

undone jacinth
#

its just based off the bosses melee

#

not dmg taken

#

afaik

#

but previously the ot wasn't taking nearly as much as the mt

deft vessel
#

from what I'm quickly reading it only copies over health damage, so mitigated damage does in fact matter, as it's 100% physical, a warrior will do best to main tank majority of encounter, and flat damage reduction cooldowns on the "active tank" will indeed lead to less damage taken by both

#

Is devestator really that much better then punish? It feels akward when tanking ST that just me?

ionic fern
#

Probably just you. 😄

ocean yoke
#

Yeah it feels fine for me, a ton of shield slam resets

wind yoke
#

Punish + Heavy repro feels good imo, like someone in this channel earlier said they run it because they like the hit of dopamine every shield slam, I think thats a good way to describe it

#

but devastate does indeed feel useless and it's almost definitely not as useful as the meta talents

#

Sometimes i wonder if im actually autoattacking or accidentally cancelling it cuz i barely get any procs

undone jacinth
#

I feel like it procs all the time

#

also someone did the math and said that windfury procs didn't give much but I play with an enhance and do feel like I notice the difference

#

but probably in my head

cinder nova
#

I know I feel the WF when I'm arms :^)

undone jacinth
#

yeah arms was like 7.5% or something

Rage bar goes from 0 to 80

I might switch Bolster/Ravager for AM/UF
See how that feels now

obtuse scaffold
#

I got the Wall last night so I may craft and try the same. I love ravager but SW every 60 seconds it sounds like? With optimal uptime/build sounds cool.

sweet summit
#

what does ravager have to do with the wall?

obtuse scaffold
#

Oh maybe I read it wrong... can I keep ravage with wall. I'm not at pc and drawing a blank now on talents like a scrub

ionic fern
#

Yes.

#

It's Bolster Vs AM for The Wall.

ocean yoke
#

You can for sure, Im guessing youre thinking about bolster v anger management

obtuse scaffold
#

Yep yep. Sorry fam.

#

You drop ravager for thunderlord then?

ionic fern
#

Nope.

#

I'm running Thunderlord with Ravager/Bolster.

obtuse scaffold
#

Okay that's what I'm running atm

#

For some reason swore I read you dropped it for one of them. Thanks for clearing it up! (It was like 2 am lastnight ans I was zzz)

cinder nova
#

Personally with Bolster I wouldn't be averse to a LS legendary

#

Couple it with UF

#

Could be cool.

obtuse scaffold
#

True that

cinder nova
#

TBH if The Wall did 5s off LS

#

That'd really smack

obtuse scaffold
#

I'm maining hunter for my raid team. But warrior is my first love but I'm a bit behind. Lol

cinder nova
#

Bolster + UF would make for some spicy uptime and rage boosts

obtuse scaffold
#

Yeah I agree. My biggest problem is using all our defensives at the best time. Sometimes I think I overlap too much out of panic. And sometimes I trust just sb too much. LS with higher uptime would be amazing for me lol.

cinder nova
#

I miss when I could have Bolster and AM.

#

Still wondering why NS is a talent

#

It's been around since... what? Legion? WOD?

#

And has always been hot garbage.

obtuse scaffold
#

Thats why I'm thinking Wall instead of TL. I feel like I'm bad at tclap every cd cool down thing.

#

I miss early legion IP

#

Rip

cinder nova
#

Well, Wall is pretty good for M+

#

And it's good for raiding

#

So you can't really go wrong

#

I'd probably go TLV and Bootyclap spec on Teeming

#

But nothing else

obtuse scaffold
#

Good good. I plan on crafting today. Got r2 TL so I'm good with it where it is

#

Want an arms build but no weapon and I want signet

#

Makes sense good call.

cinder nova
#

Just get an honor one and upgrade it

#

I'm doing ~3.2K with a 177 weapon

#

I'm 198

obtuse scaffold
#

I got it at 177 atm. Last night after raid I did a few

#

I bought conq 1h for tank. Haste vers

#

Y3ah i did the a few bosses in our normal run last night at 192 .. and I had a few purple parses for ilvl. So now I'm amped. Haven't armsed since 8.1

cinder nova
#

Huntsman is meme-tier arms fodder

obtuse scaffold
#

But i got my wall and ip conduit. Which was the point of raiding with warrior. So I'm gonna do some tanking today now. Test out wall

cinder nova
#

Especially if you have a DK grip for the double shades on Heroic

#

WB BS go brrrr

obtuse scaffold
#

I had to go main for it. For bow chance

#

Got bow from sire though. So normal is all warrior next week

cinder nova
#

Speaking of loot I wanna peel my face off

#

Between this week and last I've done 17 M+ keys all 6 and above

#

Full clear of N CN

#

And 3/10 H CN

#

1 upgrade

red swallow
#

:)

obtuse scaffold
#

Yeah its super rough. Tbh... I love the slow drip. Gear feels great when it hits. But I'm very competitive... and when someone gets a huge upgrade and starts beating me in dps... oofs.

cinder nova
#

I know that feeling.

#

I used to shred my cotank VDH's aggro

#

even without TD

#

Now I can barely keep it

neat root
#

Yeah the slow drip is nicer tbh

cinder nova
#

Gotta omega tryhard just to keep pace

obtuse scaffold
#

I have had mobs run from me in m+... never happened in legion-bfa

cinder nova
#

Meanwhile in VDH land it's just "haha brand"

neat root
#

Usually I'm bored this far into an xpac and quit but I'm not there yet

#

Still more gear to get

obtuse scaffold
#

BUt wE sCaLe

neat root
#

Fresh Tarkov wipe isn't helping tho

obtuse scaffold
#

Yeah I like the slower loot. I got hosed on vault this week on both toons. So I'm grumpy. But overall... much better 5han loot pinata

red swallow
#

I agree, the only thing that is a sour taste in the mouth is when ur pugging and 2 peeps who dont do shit gets loot so you know u dont even have to walk to the chest KEKW

#

but thats rare, rather take this any day over just wait for weekly . exe

fiery badge
#

I haven’t had too much trouble getting loot TBH

#

I like it better this way too. Tbh only the REAL ones are playing Prot warrior rn

neat root
#

I got looted quick before mythic+. Nearly Full mythic 0 gear within the first week.

#

Then it slowed up quite a bit

fiery badge
#

I’m going to be switching between Arms PvP and PvE tanking but mainly arms PvP

#

Probably going to craft Thunderlord after I craft unhinged, which I need like 600 more soul ash for since I bought a high rank base

#

I’ll probably never see the inside of Nathria since my guild has 2 main tanks and doesn’t need another warrior for anything atm.

signal rune
#

if i throw Rav in the last sec of Avatar, is the damage snapshotted?

#

(or maybe just line it up better)

chilly brook
#

Why wouldn't you just throw ravager as soon as it's up

#

The biggest pull of ravager is the rage gen not the damage

#

And its typically up at the same time as avatar

sweet abyss
#

which lego would you guys craft for an ALT prot warrior? the wall or thunderlord? it'll see more m+ than raid, but will still see raids

signal rune
#

yes it just happened to me just now and i wonder if it snapshotted

chilly brook
#

If you're more for m+ TGV @sweet abyss

sweet abyss
#

which one is TGV?

#

OHHH the great vault's one

chilly brook
#

Thunderlord

#

Thundergods vigor is what it was called in Legion

sweet abyss
#

oh that's why i was confused

#

lol thank you very much, matt

I wonder when we will get to equip 2 leggos

if we get to equit 2 legos

Or wall + unbreakable

Just as an aside, teeming does not exist which I saw in the conversation above

proven herald
#

since we are on the topic of snapshotting, here is an interesting question. Say at time t, a boss applies a dot on me for 15 seconds. If, at time t+5sec I use demo shout, will I then take 20% reduced damage for the remaining dot duration (while demo is active) ?

how is your tanking in DOS ? I died 5 times on start and my dps almost leave it .. 😄 +8 O_O i am really weak in DOS and MISTS

strong forum

There can multiple reasons

chilly brook
#

You're either fucking up or they are

strong forum
#

You yourself are playing badly, your group isn't kicking anything, your healer isn't healing, your groups dps is bad, you don't know what the mobs can do / what needs to be interrupted

#

Could be 1 of these things

#

Or all of them

DoS has one of the lowest margins for error as well

The skeleton packs in DoS are very dangerous as they do alot of magic dmg that needs to be dodged/reflected/interrupted

Use the urns in dos
