I mean, to each their own of course 😄
I mean, to be fair, my own move was prompted by friends guild lol
but I've found myself really liking AD, more than Kazzak at least
never been on Draenor, so don't have experience with that one
it's also a lot more fun to be on a server that doesn't have an overwhelming majority for one faction, the relative balance of AD is cool, for what that's worth
but anyway, totally off topic
(also we run the same talents
)
👌
Do I need to log pug mythics myself for them to show up on warcraft logs?
If you want the logs to show up yes.
It will still show up
If you do not log, just without the actual logs.
thunderlords or wall for mythic +?
Gotcha
Both work, pick your poison.
Just thought it would update via leaderboard
do you still wana use bolster with the wall or heavy repercussions?
Leaderboard only show 500 best run I believe
Yikes picked your worst one too
Only mean you aren't in it, so you need to log for parse that aren't part of it for them to show up
I’ve got same for Lady Inerva , done two clean kills and one messy one (week1) - only logged the bad one
You can use dbm or big wigs to log all mythic + and raid auto as soon as you enter in one
So you don't miss them
how?
In the settings you can enable it
huh, didn't realize it grabs via leaderboards, i haven't been logging much at all this expac for some reason
maybe I should start again now that I'm doing 10s regularly (and will be going beyond)
Piercing verdict can be obtained only from WB right?
at 200 i lvl
higher version is from where? I saw some warrior with 213 item lvl
ah
alright ty
sad thing that if you swap cov, then the cov specific conduit will not trasnfer wih you 😄
had 200 venthyr one
I mean, yeah, though it makes sense, my situation is pretty meh on the conduits front, but it's not too big a deal
I've legit not had any piece of loot from any of the world bosses so far, no conduits, no gear lol
just anima and the legendary powers
(which are guaranteed lol)
that was my only item
now i lost it either
😄
but i have "fresh" warrior
so even 171 spear from WQ is nice
@deft vessel whered you get 200 mortal combo
honestly I'm not sure
must've been either m+ or normal raid, since my callings/venari ones are 184
Cool thanks
Shield for prot is 1st to upgrade ?
yep
Good luck on vault today fellas
Btw, I be spreadin the good word of prot warriors
Thanks all for this discord
was reading the guide, it said to use devistator for m+, and only cast revenge on proc. what do u do then when shield slam andthunderclap not up? im new to prot trying get the hang of this >.<
Revenge if you're gonna cap rage
There might be a few dead globals here and there while we don't have a ton of haste from what I've read, I use them to reposition, stun, interrupt, group mobs
so its normal u have downtime in offensive stuff?
Right, that will decrease significantly as we gear up i think
But there's plenty to do on a pull if you get bored 😁
little question here 🙂
i only have venthyr so i have condemn but i feel it spend alot of the rage in a way
spires M+
@charred ivy
yeah seen this, but i also dont feel like i have lots rage to soend to be fair
booming
I've never really pushed into Mythic +, how hard is it for Prot warriors right now? I have 185 Ilevel and have done all the Mythic 0's, but guess I need to go higher now.
with 185 ilvl you should be able to do anyting up to 10 but maybe focus on getting some gear
Ok, so when I do my Mythic 0 and get a +2 Key I should be able to do that one fairly easy as well?
yep
Thanks guys/gals!
yea, but if you know nothiung about keys, read a guide on mythictrap or sth like that and download manbaby dungeon tool and get some routes going
as tank you need to know what and why you're doing
manbaby dungeon tool?
I have been using Mythictrap for raid guides. I will study that too
just watchout they jhave lots of beta data
but there is nothing super crazy going on in dungeons
but probably best to learn some meta strategies
Thank you, I will check it out. Was nervous to push because everything said Prot warriors were the worst tanks
dontl isten to pugtards
if you know your buttons you can do easy keys
just some have it easier
am I disadvantaged being Night Fae? I know it isn't ideal, but if it's not some crazy disadvantage i'd rather not swap
Night fae is fine, any covenant works. Only if you are top 1% would covenant make a difference tbh
I'm venthyr and doing fine, I believe night fae is 2nd best behind kyrian
behind dmg its just base utility of having the stun or pull spear with kyrian/fae
the system breaks my casual heart, I have to be DPS in raid and need to be Venthyr, but I like to tank and can only do that in M+ and need to be Kyrian/Fae
nah its not as big as ur thinking
Had someone early say i bricked my char as a Venthyr Zandalar Troll Prot Warr 😂
Venthyr seems ideal for arms warrior dps, especially on certain raid fights. It sucks you can't have a covenant per spec
"Should have gone Arms as Orc Warr and PvP then upgrade gear while making friends with better tank classes"
Lol 😂
gl making friends in pugs as dps warr
its definitely not as big a deal, you're missing out on aoe dmg as a tank but thats largely irrelevant when ur pushing high keys
and in the low keys it matters even less
I like having the Night Fae interrupt and the additional movement stuff on my prot warrior. Feels useful
mhm, switch if youre inclined to but every covenant is usable in pve
One day we shall unlock Draven as a soulbind 😂
I just like Venthyr location / Style, condemn pretty cool
isnt draven the worst one
Depends if you want to be more defensive or offensive
draven could be fun if it had some cr mechanic and not giving timer
yolo in pack for big aoe damage and get cr once every few minutes for free
Kinda similar to the fae one though. Maybe something like at 15% hp you turn to stone for 5s reducing dmg by 90%
the thunderlord legendary power reduce cd max up to 4.5s. is that total, or per time u clap?
per clap
thats kinda sweet then xD
It works out around 50% cd reduction
You should've seen it before all the nerfs
3s per target, no cap
But you know, "Fun detected"
haha i can imagine xD
@uneven mason it was so amazing in bfa haha
Legion~
in BFA we had Anger Management God Mode
which reduced the CD for DS per rage spent, and Deafening Crash which extended DS duration per time TC, and combined with UF (Avatar reduced TC CD and doubled damage) so you could have 70%ish uptime on DS.
Hmm, I seem to remember using it in the T rex dungeon
We had other things that reduced DS CD and increased its uptime.
so effectively the same effect
Oooh increased its uptime, thats what I remember
Infinite DS
Yep thats it, deafening crash
Legion was fun too
I'm enjoying the "block capped" style of prot right now, it reminds me of true block cap on pally in wrath
Yeah its def not as active
Which isn't as satisfying
Warriors could hit 100% "unhittable" in TBC and WOTLK, then in Cataclysm when they introduced "Critical block" which any block that rolled over the cap would increase crit block as well, they finaly "Fun detected" and now we have the 2 roll combat system
Ah interesting, I didn't know that in wrath
Only xpac I switched off war for some reason
Yeah, it was so bad in TBC, I was literally removing gear so I Could get rage
Oh interesting
I'd wear PVP gear instead of tanking gear until ZG
Correct
I like that dmg intake is pretty smooth
In wrath it wasn't so bad because you could just put on more dps pieces with hit and expertise or ArP for more damage/threat
Well
so i just got the Inscrutable Quantum Device from DOS but its only 194. Is it worth using? ATM I am using 213 Gluttonous Spike and 200 Pulsating Stoneheart
But I definitely recall taking pieces off for the occasional naxx reclear for people's alts
Paladins suffered from the fact that you;'d OOM occasionally
but blocking returned mana? I think in WOTLK
so stacking block was the go to.
Yep I remember
there were dps plate tier sets in tbc, but raid damage is kinda high, not sure it was viable to swap to them
I'd use it over the heart
PVP reduced your chance to be crit without increasing avoidance, the issue was that warriors only got rage from being hit, or blocking
so until ZG came around, most of our "tank" sets had too much dodge/parry/defense
crippled our TPS
ZG gave us gear that stacked SBR and SBV
big shield slams and 60%~ block
and as classic showed wearing full prot sets is super bad, you need to get offpieces with dps stats and eventually t2.5
ZA yeah?
Say "beer can" in an English accent and you get "bacon" in a troll accent
haste
the lvl 200 one i'd say
yeah its the more stats vs better stats thing and no main stat to weight in
the 200
the difference in haste is way too big, on rings there are no mainstats or armor so you can forego the "ilvl > stats" rule a bit
In raid I would use whatever sims higher
My sim.
ye thats sim
cuz mastery sims very high
only 20 dps loss on sim to use double haste rings
Mastery stronk for DPS
sorry I was posting both haha
but defensively, haste until 100% effective SB uptime.
yeah ofc
does that mean we need to reduce our SB cd to 12 secs?
12sec aint enough chief
Effective is an important word
oh? care to shed more light sir?
charges refresh consecutively
yeah 100% uptime for times when you need it to be up
not simultaneously
is the goal
i see
ah right
i was always thinking it starts recharging the moment we use 1 charge
i see
if you have 0 SB charges ready
itll first get you 1
the 2nd one will only be started once the 1st one is banked up
I Feel that warriors have poor language skills
GL with your caches later btw fellow tanks on the US and OCE servers
😢
i never really read the tool tip >.<
I'm expecting more rings
😄
Its ok, it doesn't say anything on the tooltip
thats just literally how charges work in WoW 😄
Is reset in 6 mins or one hour for US?
an hour
how do you guys handle the nar zudah miniboss in necrotic wake? It always feels like I'm taking way too much damage from him. should I leap away from the floaty green balls and charge back every time?
I skip it
spear it
If I can't skip it I dedicate prideful, orb, and a hammer to it
actually spear it
with some sort of invis?
Priest, rouge, etc
You should avoid those yes, really avoid the pack, unless you expect your party to wipe, in which case, it becomes a problem
hmm, gotcha, thanks guys. in summary, skip it or spear + nuke... failing that, keep running away from the balls
Yes, avoid the balls, its not him thats the issue, the 3 little casters hit you with healing absorbs
so unless your group can interrupt
The orb helps, but once the little guys are down, minibossbro isn't much issue, don't stand in stuff, you can also, once aggro is established just leap back around the previous corner (unless you skipped that pack too)
and he'll die following you
gotcha, thanks, I'll try that tomorrow
Tyrannical week, dudes will fold like wet cardboard compared to now.
I still like to skip it in tyrannical so I can save an orb for Amarth
Though I think they nerfed that boss?
there's also an anima thing to aoe silence the whole pack
Back to this, is there an approximate %haste for this, or is it too situational to judge effective uptime
That's the orb
yea, i only read the question and skimmed the answers sry XD
Its extremely situational
Yeah thats what I figured
but needless to say, in this tier we will not reach this number.
"Effective uptime" basically means you have it when you need it (are being melee'd/taking blockable damage)
Should bolster be bumping us up there atm or still too little
and there can be gaps, when a mob is casting, if its just spell etc..
Bolster gets close
Maybe I'm not doing challenging enough content
Ok good thats what it feels like
the 2nd most important thing to understanding your abilities, is understanding fight encounters... understanding the ebb and flow of damage in an encounter lets you cycle your abilities so much better
then again leaning on bolster for this means we're objectively using one of our major CDs to cover AM uptime
small shit like that 6 second cast the boss is charging up? don't waste a SB charge
which in itself, because of the longer CD last stand has in SL, is bad.
simple example, but an obvious one
yeah, its better to let SB lapse for 1 melee round before a mechanic cast, so you can have 2 charges on deck for when the boss engages again.
it's all about understanding your toolkit and learning how to best apply it
I Mean, HR would have been good for SB uptime, but they nerfed that into the dirt
applies to all classes, but Warriors take it and perfect it
naw keep that shield block up on cd for that purple parse wid de shield slams 
A nicer example perhaps is Millie Manastorm. If you don't refresh SB during her bomb spawn thing you'll have much more effective uptime during her horrifying buzzsaw ability
haha
More, understanding how your toolkit applies to the situation you're about to face (Be proactive)
same meaning, better wording
Small delay of like 1.5 seconds with very impactful result
i'm really torn on starting with thunderlord's or wall for my fresh warrior, what do you guys prefer?
Never made the wall but I don't raid as prot
i started TL because I like mashing buttons and I knew I'd be farming M+ like mad to gear my guild
mine as well have some fun in there
was my logic
I like TL
my V DH also rocks the "offensive" leg (similar to the TL vs. Wall conundrum warr faces)
and I tank CN perfectly fine
on both
undergeared and tanking heroic? wall would probably be best
short of that, it's ok either way
i guess it almost depends on how high of keys i want to push, yeah it's undergeared compared to main
How do you guys sim for survivability instead of dps? Is there any way to get even close? Or just go with the discussions on haste and whatnot
You can't
to my knowledge, you can't. our way of simming survivability is reviewing logs
generally on tanks if you want to increase it you just start running higher vers
but there is no way to sim survivability
Thats something I haven't been doing
it's a game changer
Can you go through that
because survivability is so variable that by the time you're done writing the script to sim it, the next expansion would be out.
There used to be tools to emulate survivability (RAWR, etc) but the game was much simpler back then
No, stop
stop
vers has always been a meme
especially for prot warriors
it was an obscene stacking strat for like +30 keys at the end of BFA
@naive swan upload your logs here -> https://www.warcraftlogs.com/ and then analyze them here -> <wowanalyzer.com>
that's why i started with "GENERALLY ON TANKS"
Not in 8.3 :^)
the tanks i played in BFA, that was true
But its not even GENERALLY ON TANKS
In general, do caster adds in the "inside" part of DOS just truck on higher keys? Had a hard time not folding to them on 10+ last week.
It was only a thing because of obtuse levels that could be done with corruptions
Do I track the logs with an addon
Yes those deathspeaker packs are the most dangerous in the dungeon
you use the command in game /combatlog ... there's an app from warcraftlogs that will assist in uploading it
Ah I see
Pop all CDs, establish aggro, leap up the stairs out of LOS and run
Short work day today. Means I can attempt to pug nathria super early and maybe push some keys without healers hating me
ty, great advice. i'll give that a shot.
yeah, really lean on IP for them shadowdamage boys
remember you can get Xternals as well
don't forget about spell reflect. it's been gone too long, folks sleeping on it
Spell reflect has been gone?
sadly it poofs quick cause of the bolts
I definitely feel every % vers I get. I prio haste, ofc, but vers is sadly the only itemization option that helps us vs magic dmg.
it was kinda "Meh"
It was very prevalent in bfa
it's usefulness has been lacking in recent content
Some bosses were only doable in high enough keys because of SR
people are like "O thats a thing"
spell reflect was super op in bfa wdym
i'm not saying it was useless
maybie it was just the contrast compared to how OP it was in Legion

"Medivh - luls"
Question, and this may be dumb, just getting my warrior online so I'm a bit late to the party. Is devastator really the go to for row 1? It feels weird not having a filler, and is it close to the others? Because I don't like it haha. (I really only care about M+ if that matters at all)
What are some top boss mechanics you guys like to spell reflect, anything interesting/not obvious?
If I have on 194 pants (72 haste and 47 mastey) and in my vault I got 216 pants (55 haste / 79 mastery) but I also got a 213 weapon (26 crit / 40 mastery) my current weapon is 190 ilevel (19 haste / 37 vers) I should take the weapon right? or do I upgrade the pants?
I didn't like it either, but yeah its go to
And im fine with it now, saves my thumb on my numpad mouse haha
devastate just feels bad 😛
I was sad in BFA when we had to pick between devastator or ITF
Devastate or devastator? I'm ok not pressing it all the time
the point of devastator is that you still have a chance to reset shield slam even when you’re pressing buttons you need to like demo shout, clap, revenge, etc
Yeah its nice
Plus it's the only way to get back to back shield slams and relive the Legion days

IP on GCD bothered me less than having devastate as a button
I enjoyed the 120+ apm playstyle
IP on gcd was so bad i played something else lmao
200+ APM is a brewmaster thing

feels so awful playing compared to a prot war
Brewmaster has buttons?
I literally thought you just had to auto attack and go make a sammich
they have the ability to clench the whole time hoping the healer is awake
Yeah
If I have on 194 pants (72 haste and 47 mastey) and in my vault I got 216 pants (55 haste / 79 mastery) but I also got a 213 weapon (26 crit / 40 mastery) my current weapon is 190 ilevel (19 haste / 37 vers) I should take the weapon right? or do I upgrade the pants? how hard is it to get a pvp weapon and upgrade it. I saw somewhere that a prot warrior had a 233 weapon already
@wooden heath pvp weapon is very simple to get, just takes time to get cap
if ive never pvp'd how long will it take me to get it to a viable place to the 213 longer than this week right?
if you are completely green behind the ears to pvp, then 1800 might be a bit of a learning curve
what does 1800 give me?
you can't upgrade conquest gear unless you get rating
1800 is 213 i think
i don't know what rating requirements are exactly but i think 1800 for heroic gear
^^
blood spattered scale good or bad?
if i have a 184 blood-splattered scale but my vault is giving me a 216 overwhealing power cyrstal and a 213 hook, which trinket should i use?
I think its cute u can get to 1400 and get 207 when you can push a 14 and get the same shit. But difficulty is waaaay off lol
Yep pvp is way to go
also you get to choose which 207 piece u get
so 2 weeks to get the weapon and how much does it cost to upgrade?
instead of not getting lucky at the 2% chance u have for the piece u want
several thousand honor
but honor has no cap in a week right? so conquest is just for the initial buy?
yep
oh then I will hold off on weapon and not take one from my vault
Yep just hoard your honor and upgrade stuff
Any1 know how good the Viscera of Coalesced Hatred is?
people told me it was trash but i had no other options
so im holding a 220 in my bags
ty vault lol
ill give up 226 legs for a weapon and being able to trade denathrius weapons lol
BIS named weapon hahaha
If I plan to pug raid today, should I do timewalking and raid before vault?
Was debating getting conquest to replace this 174 shield, but would hate to immediately get an upgrade too
oof sanguine for the key
Oof
226 shield (i have 213) vs heroic 220 Stone legion heraldry trinket
with avoidance too the trinket
Ngl i have a 200 shield and I would delete my denath trink if it meant I got a 220+ shield
i think imma wait to full clear heroic tonight
and pick after that
maybe i get the 220 shield from generals?
or do i yolo grab shield
Up to u thats a decent line of thinking if ur clearing that boss
yes we full clear
cus if i get the offhand from generals i wasted the 226 shield grab
imma just wait
Hi guys, hope everyone got something nice from the cache... Pardon the screenshot, but I just opened my vault and hope if you guys can kindly advice on which rings to equip?
i was thinking of using the haste ones
uh
but the new ilvl one seems too high to drop. Am i correct or wrong?
I see 2 of the same ring?
this one sry
same, highest haste and highest ilvl possible
Can someone please explain why some of the top prot warriors in m+ are running signet of tormented kings? i tried looking it up and everything i read says to either run the wall or thunderlords
ahhhhhh ok that makes sense
Thats why u see venthyr prot warrs
tyvm
Sadly this xpac forces u to fall behind on your main leggo if u wanna play OS soooo
whats the latest thinking on the legendarys- I need to either rank 4 my thunderlords or make a rank 3 wall today. I'm mainly M+
ok
I prot with signet, AMA
i did switch to ravager bolster though- feels WAYY better for me
I always run that in keys
I just do AM in raid because i use the wall in raid
So low as hell SW cds
Saved me in H sire
the ravager rage and LS tho
With the wall and AM you get like 50 sec cds Shield Wall
For raid ill gladly take that
I still run ravager in raid
Just AM over Bolster
Is the quantum device from de other side perform pretty bad for you guys, 226 in my vault but consideringn ot taking it
^^ also got it in the vault -_-
Haven't had the chance to really test it, but just looking at the procs, seems pretty meh
That trinket is a bait, it sims high but the randomness can destroy you. I have dps complaining about it in my guild right now, they use it and it gives healer mana instead of buffing them and shit
Seems like a lot of people got it in the vault this week
Screenshot the vault
The helm is a pretty big bump but its hast/mast which isn't terrible
my second trinket is 184 so I am considering taking the sun king's for now just as an oh shit trinket. Thought obviously if you don't die it is a waste
is mastery an okay stat to take?
Those legs are big chungus depending on your ilvl equipped currently
If u have a 184 helm replacing it with a 220 is big
@zealous wyvern haste > vers > mast
Basically
I feel like I am baiting myself into taking the trinket for safety because i have a 184 IQD at the moment
Yeah not taking that
You can farm 200 ilvl trinkets in m+
Considering the other trinket though
Yeah hakkar trinket is great
True
Thats what im doing
I really want that heraldry and shield
So if i get eitherr from generals
Im picking the other
I know the 226 shield seems like a no brainer but i have a 213 so idk. If i get 220 shield from generals i can yoink the heraldry trinket
guys what do you advise for a player who dies against 3-5 mobs? (2 packs?)
@sick sentinel got a Big crit/mast ring offered at 226, would replace a 200 vers/mast ring, other option is upgrading a 207 crit/vers belt to a 223 version of the same belt,
nothing has haste on offer
imean a 226 shield>a 220 shield
But i have a 200 ilvl dps trinket in one of my slots
226 shield
I have 200 dps trinket from key and mythic hunstman trinket on the other
13ilvl upgrade on a shield
is bigger than
upgrading the rest of your gear
its literally a no brainer
Correct, but thats not the question
Im taking shield by default
If i dont get the one from generals that is 220 tonight
ah
That is a highly variable question
And have 220 shield, 220 trinket and 226 trinket
i use Sb when i am actively tanking mobs (almost always in m+)
use IP in addiction, plus last stand when i'm low health and SW when i know a huge hit incoming
3-5 "of what- where"
Caster mobs or melee mobs
Ok so the DoS big mobs enrage so u need to kite
iLvl 197
Unless u got soothe
yeah they get scary
Vs the caster packs in DoS you need to dump all your rage into IP
Or pop all CDs hit them hard for threat and hten leap out and run
my healer tell me i can't kite because sometimes he doesnt reach me with heals
Even tyrannical weeks i kite
have DPS who can interrupt and CC
my caster guildies tell me to stop moving because they cant cast
Dont kite to narnia, go in dps a bit get aggro, shockwave
so im always facetanking
They can't cast if they're dead either
Slowly move back while staying out kf range
Sounds like your healer is a flipperhanded monkey
But yeah, make sure you don't run to Africa, especially on grievous week
So thats on him
yeah you leap out to clear range and LOS
but your healer should be aware of where you plan on going to
communication is key to get better at M+
and how to resolve the matter when losing aggro when kiting?
Ravager
Thats why u need to first grab a good chunk of aggro
Before u kite
I very rarely lose aggro when kiting
Hypothetically you don't have to kite the rest of the time you're fighting the pack, just until you feel safe going back in
i dont run ravager in my talent build, i use standard setup
unstoppable force + anger management
i'll try kiting back.. what about magic damage? like nazrudah in NW?
when little magic damage occurs, i usually spell reflect + interrupt other mob
I wouldn't call UF + AM standard at this point
but continuous casting its a bit of a problem
well Wowhead calls it standard...
how does rotation/priority/gameplay changes?
Nothing much
Just use it on cd lol
And you will have last stand like every 3 or 4 packs
@limpid pawn Don't take the Trinket.
It's fine for lower levels, but you can stay in without kiting a lot longer with Bolster
ravager?
how much ivl can we drop on rings for more haste? like 200-207 ring <_< high one dont have haste at all
and when SB is down?
Ignore pain
do you run ravager - bolster too?
Absolutely
thanks ill try this build then
Give it a try and see if it works better for you 👍
like SPAM ip?
Dont even worry about revenge unless it procs
Never use IP over block vs melee mobs
But vs casters just spam it
i know that but it'll procs a bit much lol
Weapon
Literally no question. Besides shield, weapon will always be your biggest upgrade
ty all
What's better?
Ring nets +44 secondaries, belt nets +9 secondaries, +8 str, +11 armor
I'd go ring
What's going on with your set names?
Not sure if enchants are included in that calc
if it procs its free so no worries.
leave the set names out of this lol
👍
@hallow phoenix Thanky
hi prot frends. does spell reflect work on Rip Soul on huntsman 2nd doggo?
Guys, if I only have access to dungeons and heroic raids, with a want to prog into higher keys. What are the 2 best trinkets I should aim for?
hakkar tank trinket and probably like anima field emitter
Thank you Erga, I’ll aim for those
I don’t think you can, Steve. Perhaps you can check on the spell reflect Google doc found in the Pins?
it doesnt :(
Save spell reflect for the just in case sinseaker
You want to cancel that damage more
thanks ❤️
I mean spell reflect still makes you take less magic damage and the rip soul ability is magic damage, less damage taken makes it easier on the healers to heal the add
how do these affixes look for pushing?
Hey, does anyone know what happens when you socket a legendary and upgrade it later? Does the socket stay?
Let us know?
Tyrannical/Necrotic is always going to be a very bad week for pushing
Tyr is buns, inspiring is buns, necrotic is buns
buns? what does that mean?
butts
booty
oh, bad
Rump
so, a terrible week to push keys
he is being sarcastic
I wont even try Necrotic Wake this week... Amarath is a pain with tyranical
No I’m saying not a single tyr week is good to push lol
I added a comma in my head
Fortified was pretty gruelling for lower keys
Fort weeks are just better for it
I read it as "no, tyr week is a great week to push keys"
Ah yes
Nah man you can barely get me to log on for tyr
I’ll do a few this week but I don’t wanna burn
Necrotic Tyrannical
At least most bosses this Xpac have a "Break time" in their mechanics
leveling alts this week 
basically
Yeah, I'll probably finish my druid this week
still gotta do some keys this week to stay fresh, though
Haha @sweet summit in the same boat. Hitting up a few keys for vault than gogo warlock all week
getting a hunter setup
incase I can't keep raiding as arms, due to 0 buffs, thx to a warrior DPSing on WF kill ><
I got my warlock at 59
ele sham seems real fun but gearing mail doesn't seem viable lol
Ele sham suffers from poor ST damage, although I think their BIS lego is available this week
so that might change
I've had a horrible time gearing
It's the same chance at gearing
no matter what character I'm on this Xpac.
well I usually group with a lot more plate
The only difference would be the potential availability of gear trading
trading stuff is easier
Yeah I'd say half my gear has been through gear funneling
was running mythics with an all plate group the first 2 weeks
hunters really are a dime a dozen this tier
could somebody paste me the weekly vault script
yeh I think just opposed to having 2 wars, plate tanks, pally heals dks and rets mail is harder to find but thats just my group, I think we have 1 shaman 1 hunter lol
locks pump tho and rdps still godly
I still wish that dh was mail
wouldn't fit the fantasy
mail tank shaman spec who says no
Yeah, bring back Enhancement tank
they need to make some mail tank lol
which was a half ass experiment to begin with.
we literally don't need more tanks/melee specs
Like, how many ranged specs have they added to the game
......yeah 0
how many tanks
Every added class has been a tank.
or melee
then they removed a ranged spec
and added a melee
(survival hunter)
Yeah, they want people to tank though that's why they keep adding them
^
"Maybe people don't play melee more because of variety"
I just think they should've done mail dh to even out class comps and then leave it
4 leather 2 mail now
leather is basically gods gift to being able to trade loot
Its like after 15 years they don't understand that people don't play melee more because its harder to get into content as melee
due to - punishing melee mechanics
You know what will help? Storming
"Spiteful, that'll show them casters - oh but lets have them target melee 90% of the time"
Lol last 2 effects have been horrible for melee
Speaking of spiteful
I love getting trucked for half my health by a random add
Anyone else pull all the slimes in PF
I run with a rogue and honestly there was a dungeon where the spitefuls targeted him at like 80%.
That is an absolute prison break
lol
Nah, too much of a bitch. I did half pulls lol.
Mmhm, I was sure they didn't spawn them and took all of them
Easy to aoe down as a group but if u have melee they just sit to the side lmao
You think that is intentional? I mean they bolstered too. Just feels kind of weird that it exists on that pack.
Okay, gonna be that guy asking about vault as well
The vault only holds pain
184 -> 207 bracers, 184 -> 200 chest (losing haste), 174 -> 200 shield (instead of grinding conquest)
I was thinking about the bracers since I can also upgrade the pvp shield if I want. Doesn't seem worth losing that much haste for the chest
shield
is choosing a weapon upgrade from vault over another piece gonna be most beneficial in most cases? 200 -> 216 ilvl but haste vers -> crit mast
16ilvls would be worth
quite a bit
ok so the "Haste > Vers=>Crit > mastery" thing
doesn't mean, sacrifice a ton of ilvl to keep haste
is at the same ilvl or close ilvl in case of necks rings
on armor pieces (anything with armor and str) you're going to want to go with item level
its like 3-5ilvl on rings and neck
and equal ilvl prioritize haste
otherwise ilvl > all
i play with a 200 ilvl neck instead of a 213 neck
So you say raid shield instead of conquest shield?
because the 200 neck has 4% haste
okay that makes sense, so if i have 196 shoulders and can grab 216 shoulders, would that be worth it over grabbing the +16ilvl wep?
Actually if you're close to getting the conquest for the PVP shield
you can skip it
on ring and neck, there are exceptions to the ilvl rule because of the lack of Mainstat and Armor
since conquest shield is 200
and 500 more hp helps me less than 4% haste
Yeah I only have 165 conquest, but shield is only 450
in my opinion
So I figure that wouldn't be terrible to grind
🤷♂️ get to it 😛
that said, probably the chest
since chest has a ton more stats than bracers
ilvl > stats
That is my struggle lol. I am planning on doing both raiding and M+. Last week was my first time going raid as tank and we went 10/10. But our off-tank is back this week, so I am pugging
whats the prio when it comes to weapon/armor piece? can get 16ilvl upgrade for wep, or 20 ilvl from shoulder, im assuming wep gonna be the way to go?
depends on availability Marky
can you get an weapon of said ilvl easily or not
can you get a shoulder on said ilvl easy or not
what ilvl are we talking here
216
weapon
both wep and shoulder would be 216
you cant get higher than 210 weapon from anywhere but weekly, pvp and mythic raid
or well, last 2 bosses HC raid
TFW the warrior stuff
if you cant do those, pick weapon
alright definitely going with weapon, thanks for the help guys
What ilvl is 1800 rating
220
220
2100 ius 226
easy enough if you ask me
And like 2400 for 233?
2400 for 233 weapon
for a chance at 233
2100 for 226 across the board
That's bananas
is it 100% at 2400?
I should pvp
well, droprate isnt
but if you are to get a weapon from weekly vault
it will be 233
if youre 2400
pvp is top tier
thought i saw someone upgrade a weapon to 233
Is prot pvp a thing again? 
for gearing
you get 1600 and you have heroic gear
yeh
But then I have to expose myself as bad at pvp
just buy a boost 5head
i think pvp in SL if it stays like this will be a very worthwhile activity to do
its the single best source of loot in the game right now
i am kinda shit in arenas but i know some things about rbg's so i hope to get decent rating there
to get decent pvp gear
20 stam 30 avoidance, or 30 stam for cloak?
Oooh I didn't even consider rbgs
They realized (Like in TBC) Gear is a great motivator
They probably saw what was happening on WoW Classic and were like "WOW Like everyone PVPS here, whats going on!!!!!"
oh the sweet days of block value prot warrior in pvp
and then they realized
with one shot shield slams
best cloak enchant?
Oh because there is ACTUAL MEASURABLE REWARDS FOR DOING IT
avoidance
its free 2.3% aoe dmg reduction
unlike, say, every PVP season since Cataclysm prepatch
vroom
soooo, how horible are the affixes this week? :p
🤮
amazingly terrible
worst week so far
like going down a balsawood slide with no pants on.
think of Theatre of Pain
for tanks probably yes
Don't need aoe damage reduction when you're kiting every single mob
its also cancer for groups Ivan
Better to go fast
I mean, gotta burn down melee mob for sure
have fun dying because its immune to interrupt
what are stat prios for prot warrior
I'm already depressed about next week I think 😦
gotta have a big brain DPS kite the inspiring dude away
you can just frost trap the inspiring mob
might give up 😛
haste, vers?
can't you?
in separating emisary from packs
You can hard CC inspiring mobs
season3 strat was knocking the CC immunity mob away Ivan 🙂
Yes you can cc inspiring
for 20sec
pretty sure the mob itself is also CC immune no?
no
time for menace to shine? (lol)
It's nit
nope
Can I PVP as prot or am I wasting everyone’s time
you can trap / sap / paralyze
waste of time
as long as the mob is, itself, not immune
otherwise the affix would've beencompletely garbage
tanks dont belong in pvp
Yep ok
it is already completely garbage
so inspiring isn't a problem, but im not happy about necrotic
PvP as arms for gear
D:
watch the Inspiring add not be CCable because the mob its on is not CCable by default
🙂
That'd blow
but hey, im sure Necrotic Tyrannical Bosses have been THOROUGHLY tested on Beta
right?
literally a weekly no leaver week
kekw
Good thing like every tank is Kyrian, at least
do 1 14/15 and piss off
kyrian dwarf week
yeah spiteful was easy
the other tyra week was kind of fine
anyone that disagree is stupid
Yeah, spiteful was fine
yea with like triple ranged or 2 ranged one melee
spiteful is shit
Sucks for melee
but the week itself was fine
to push
nobody brings melee anyway
cuz theyre dogshit
not a solution
just a fact
Lots of people bring rogue
yea imagine wanting to play melee and blizzard telling me to unninstal the game
lol, but if you call melee dogshit
thank you blizzard
you realize they are claling prot wars the same right
Guys, do you think the wall legendary is a must for raids or is thunderlord good enough? Cuz I need to choose which to craft now
and imagine i want to tank and i have to play this amazing kiting game
i want to puke
TL is good enough
tank fantasy
both legendaries are perfectly fine to play in m+ and raid, the wall is just slightly better for raid
ty, which is the recommended slot people are going for and what stats please if you don't mind?
haste vers?
legs offer more armor actually
ye
for TD
feet
only gloves and boots
boots are like 6 more armor total at 235
and 1 secondary stat
aka literally irrelevant
yea i have rank 4 TD boots
apparently
and tommorow will have rank 1 wall
I have very good gloves (226) so I'll go with boots anyway
