I enjoy Thunderlord more but there are a ton of people also playing The Wall.

#

You can't go wrong with either.

spare oracle
#

i love wall

#

i was getting it up everytime i had to tank swap on some bosses

#

it was huge

river pasture
#

So what ilvl do you guys suggest for doing anything over +10 right now? I’m 198.6 and I’m noticing that I still have a ton of trouble staying up

#

I’m popping mitigation cool downs on basically every pull like a nut job, while also kiting whatever has stacks on me.

lavish oracle
#

You can definitely do 10+ at 198, it's just a matter of practice and getting used to where the damage spikes happen

#

Knowing when to kite and when you can stay in etc

river pasture
#

Yea it’s just brutal. That mortal strike stack that they have in necrotic wake is wild

modern brook
#

I'm late late ok this but ip is off the global so u ip and slam

dark fog
#

whats ip

ember temple
#

Ignore Pain

spare oracle
#

are there any good videos to watch for learning to kite?

mellow patio
#

Just watch any good streamer

#

And watch their mitigation closely

#

Kiting is more feelycraft than anything. Some people kite when they don’t have anything up, others know they can take a hit or two without mit. Like those previous said it’s all about knowing when big dam is inbound

#

Can also kite to save mitigation for the next pack... there’s a lot of different approaches

spare oracle
#

seems complicated haha

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, tanking is definitely the hardest job in M+

#

Or at least the most knowledge intensive

spare oracle
#

yea the route is all on you unless you have a friend telling you what to pull lol

lavish oracle
#

And most mob abilities are more likely to kill you than anyone else if they don't get kicked/stopped so you better know what all that shit does 😄

chilly brook
#

Imagine

#

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

lavish oracle
#

Nah, I feel for the guy

chilly brook
#

He's exactly where he is because of actions he took in spite/selfishness

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

It's not like he didn't get donations and paid for what he does anyways

#

He just saw an "opportunity" to get more money in the worst way possible and it backfired hard

lavish oracle
#

Sure, but he reacted poorly under an enormous amount of external pressure that he had no control of, he didn't make it better but it's hard to blame him

torn gulch
#

and do you think it is ok to receive treaths of the nature he received?

#

and be targeted in such a way?

#

while his personality is questionable because of the way he behaves sometimes

chilly brook
#

Is it ok? No

torn gulch
#

that does not mean that he should be trashed continuously by idiots because reasons

chilly brook
#

Is it a result of his actions that he could have not taken? yes

torn gulch
#

the guy was harrased before and during the RWF

#

before he blew up

lavish oracle
#

I mean, not in all cases, being in the public eye is going to draw that sort of attention no matter what you do

#

The internet is toxic af

chilly brook
#

Look, you don't keep kicking a hornets nest and expect everything to be happy rainbow time after you pick it up and throw it across the room after being repeatedly kicked

torn gulch
#

anyway

#

hopefully things are over

#

now

chilly brook
#

I've done some really stupid things under pressure or when emotionally distressed I still knew I shouldn't do them and most of the time I don't

lavish oracle
#

I mean, clearly he acknowledges that

tired cove
#

so spike is really good for huge aoe packs but man with out 5+ targets it is poopy

Pull big

best tanking in the history of wow

lavish oracle
#

I spend a lot of time staring at mobs while they're trapped in ring of frost

#

Very engaging gameplay

torn gulch
#

isn't it?

#

the best gameplay

ionic fern
#

Out of curiosity..what key levels are you guys ding?

#

doing*

lavish oracle
#

11

torn gulch
#

between 10 and 15

ionic fern
#

Ok, another question..why are you kiting so much?

torn gulch
#

mostly around 12-13

lavish oracle
#

Cause 5 stacks of Gargon bleed hurts no matter what key level you're on

torn gulch
#

because i'm a shit player

ionic fern
mellow patio
#

Have you considered removing the bleed :^)

ionic fern
#

Dwarf+Kyrian.

#

Says hi.

#

ALso, what is Necrotic?

#

😂

torn gulch
#

imagine playing aliance

mellow patio
#

Red team rules

lavish oracle
#

I considered it but the Phial seemed more useful for the stacking healing debuff that mobs also apply this week

torn gulch
#

iu'm gonna move aliance to play with my 0 friends that play there

ionic fern
#

See, it's easy for me.
I have 0 friends in general so it doesn't matter which i play.

mellow patio
torn gulch
#

on tyr?

#

depends

mellow patio
#

On tyr yes

#

Prot warriors can live for years with necrotic

#

Not with that bleed

ionic fern
#

Necrotic = a tiny dot you can live without getting heals.
Gargon bleeds = you're dead if you out range your healer.

chilly brook
#

So I'm big dumb

ionic fern
#

You can go fairly high with Necrotic stacks.

chilly brook
ionic fern
#

Just due to SB being stupid strong.

I uhh didn't see the haste/vers option

#

Kek

torn gulch
#

i start kiting at 25+

#

stacks

#

or somewhere along there

#

and for gargons i have the phial ready for certain spots in the dungeon

#

the rest i'll have the healer kill me

chilly brook

Imagine using Phial

That is the healers button

Finally gonna record a key so I can do some commentary to potentially help people out

Keys suck this week

#

Although I will say mists is not a failable key

We started with a Theater 12 and it was pretty free tbh

But then we fucked a Spires 13 after that

So what do I know

I don't mind keys this week as much as I thought I would

Though I've only done mists and halls so like

Ez keys

It actually was not as bad as I thought it was going to be Ivan, because on MDT it showed a couple of scary af packs that had all inspired mobs

Hm?

when yall go on boss hes just free casting

only the tank kicked

Is warcraftlogs mitigated % accurate?

formal cargo
#

Hey brand new to prot warrior. Looking to mainly play prot for M+ but I still want to be able to feel strong in raid. Is Kyrian just all around awesome, or is Night Fae a better choice for being strong in both M+ and Raid?

mellow patio
#

Kyrian is good for both

burnt kelp
#

Like it tells me my mitigation is 57%. Should this be higher?

ebon jasper

in what scenario? raids? m+?

look at blocked hits and ehrps

does kyrian pot work on necrotic ?

Yep

idk im not a raid tank, but as high blocked hits as possible and as low ehrps as possible

acoustic stratus

ignore pain should get a rage cost reduction or cap at a higher percent

The bonus from Indom is nice tho

Heya anyone got a prideful route for Plagueful that i can have? 😄

#

my plaguefall dungeon bugged

#

cant get in the last room after a wipe, wtf???

tulip arch
#

Shoulda let Domina Venomblade finish lockpicking ;)

neat lagoon
#

So i was just looking at Thrillseeker for prot and it doesnt seem that bad? if you are a warrior who mainly plays prot but wants to get the dps potential Venthyr has for Arms/Fury its actually a solid choice am i wrong?

plain vapor
#

rip 12 key and 45 minutes of our time

neat lagoon
#

20% haste for 10 seconds every few pulls?

tepid barn
#

does it matter if you craft the wall as shoudlers or cloak?

sacred quarry
#

@tepid barn I went shoulders based on the castle nathria loot table having better and higher ilvl cloaks

neat lagoon
#

Has anyone tanked as Venthyr with Thrillseeker?

stone pewter
#

for m+ should i use thunderlord or the wall?

undone jacinth
#

ur choice

stone pewter
#

or swap em between forttified and tyranical weeks?

#

i just wanna have as much mitigation as i can

undone jacinth
#

well then u always choose the wall

#

but TL has it's own value too

stone pewter
#

wall has better mitigation than tl for m+? thought the talent build for TC paired with demo shout would be better

steady spruce
#

So what's the best way to deal with 100% prideful in necrotic wake? Seems like in only can proc during the pré-boss event

undone jacinth
#

wall is 50 demo is 20, having a wall every pack or every other pack is better than having an extra demo

#

and you get the same value on ST as you do on aoe with wall

#

demo gives you other stuff though, which is why I'm saying you might not just wanna think about mit purely

undone jacinth
#

and you get a decent amount of it on the boss after the hook

stone pewter
#

yeah i could have some nice dps boost with tl too but i think id rather have more mitigation

#

ty

steady spruce
#

But at the end of the event the bossfight start, isn't it dangerous?

#

specially on tyrannical

are there any good streamers for prot that are currently on? ive been trying to search but cant find any

fringe marten
#

Has anyone found any clutch (consistent) uses for shattering throw so far? Other than things like hakkar/etc to bonus damage to shield. I thought it was going to be an amazing ability; and I haven't found any amazing uses for it. (in pve)

#

So maybe I just don't know about any great spots for it; hoping others might.

plain glen
#

Helpful with the shields in Tirna Scithe, I also use it on the pull to build a smidge of threat...but overall it's more useful in PvP

fringe marten
#

I guess you could but that means you'd need to 'pre' cast it, if you're talking about a timed dbm pull. or during your '3, 2, 1..' if you do it in M+

plain glen
#

Yeah, I do it on the "2" during the countdown, or in M+ I just use it to pull the boss (I mostly run low keys in PUGs, so it tends to be a mess on pulls anyway)

fringe marten
#

aye; I was just psyched for it for shadowlands; and have since become kinda' sad it's just..meh. I guess since I don't pvp

carmine crag
#

yeah i pretty much only use it in pvp to break pala bubbles

#

it's good on hakkar and last boss on NW

#

but the long cooldown reduces its usefulness

plain glen
#

There's also a Torghast power that makes it's first use on a floor hit for something like 10,000% which one-shots most bosses

undone jacinth

got nerfed unfortunately

earnest fox
#

I've had it happen to me on heroic

#

Only once, was like "tf?"

fringe marten
#

we never had it in heroic.

#

now it's consistent 2 pulls on mythic

#

The torghast power was SUPER op, and got nerfed heavily.

That only happened to me when we ran a raid with 12 people as opposed to our usual 20ish

#

Is there anything like 60upgrades or wowhead character planner for retail? I know gear and bis lists dont really matter as much as ilvl but I find them useful for planning

use the dungeon journal and a piece of paper. Remember the pen(cil)

if you update the addon the mobs are back and u can either make your own again or import ones

is droptimizer paid?

Has anyone tanked as Venthyr yet? Curious to see how Thrillseeker performs in keystones. I am debating swapping from Kyrian so I can get more use out of Arms

earnest fox
#

Especially when that necrotic stacks is stacking and they are inspired

neat lagoon
#

@earnest fox you mean taking not being a Kyrian?

sick sentinel
#

best for necrotic is to get a paladin who can freedom and bop you at command

#

and then leap away in direction you prior killed trash while kiting to remove

neat lagoon
#

I am a dwarf and the double cleanse as Kyrian was nice but i just feel that Kyrian hinders Arms DPS more than Venthy will hinder Prot?

#

I actively play both (prot most of the time)

#

I have a prot paladin too and I just don't want double Kyrian lol

sick sentinel
#

i want the fucking shield from maldraxus

#

they got some super pimpin shield mogs

neat lagoon
#

will a prot warrior who is venthyr message me please?

undone jacinth
#

I was before switching to kyrian

neat lagoon
#

okay so can you tell me how often you were receiving the 20% Thrillseeker buff?

#

I mean you are in combat a lot during keys

#

I just need to hear that it isnt absolute garbage, I know i will be missing the Vial heal and cleanse but if itll buff my other 2 specs than I am swapping

chilly brook
#

I mean

#

Its 1 stack per second in combat isn't it?

#

Need 40 seconds of combat iirc to get the buff

#

Idk how long it's up

neat lagoon
#

its up for 10 seconds

#

and 2 stacks

#

4 stacks if u kill an enemy

#

so technically 20 seconds of combat and you get 20% haste for 10 seconds? If i am wrong let me know

woven kiln
#

nectoric + inspiring isn't that bad

#

trash, at least, feels less deadly than last week

chilly brook
#

But tyrannical is

woven kiln
#

idk I think tyranical is chill as a tank. Definitely deplete more keys, but the pressure is lower on tyr weeks for tanks

chilly brook
#

Doesn't matter if the pressure is less if you can't complete the key

#

Also manastorms on higher keys is aids

#

as a tank

for huntsman does shield block work on his shot attack?

block does work for ranged auto attacks

so it should

haughty cosmos
#

okok thx

fringe marten
#

if it doesn't we couldn't tank him, and we can..so pretty sure it does.

(shoot is ranged auto attack generally, or the random ranged auto abilities mobs tend to hit players with in dungeons, sometimes it's also 'throw rock' or 'throw' or throw food/etc)

#

crit isnt even our less valued stat, mastery is if getting technical, although its so close its negligible, rings/necks do have leeway, armor and str are very strong for us, losing them on a piece of gear makes ilvl worth less than specific stats, you could drop like 5 ilvls on them just for a better itemized piece and be ok

Well, just want to make sure i'm not lacking due to the chance to critically block. but with this set up i'm rocking 18 haste, 14 verse, 10 crit, and 23 mast

#

Is there a list of best prot trinkets? Just snagged a Splintered heart of Al'ar and seems pretty slick

wispy tundra
#

Blood spatterd scale is fantastic for M+

cold coyote
#

Yeah that one is solid too

mighty valley
#

I do like splintered heart... obviously doesn't do much for speed on safe keys but it's definitely saved some keys

wintry jetty

and communicate with healer to be sure he knows/precast/gives you a cd

fallow mortar
#

what potency conduit are you guys rolling with?

#

I am venthyr and just can't see the worth of having harrowing punishment, maybe ashen juggernaut, but Show of force is just.... meh

ionic fern
#

Harrowing is bad.
Juggernaut you won't be holding up for the majority of the time most likely.

#

Show of Force is your most consistent bet. 🤷

fallow mortar
#

If only harrowing made condemn simply cleave 👀

yay finally sockets 😛

28% haste, yummy

astral orbit
#

Yo, is kleia worth using as a soulbind this week since she can make you immune against necrotic?

void cradle
#

Prot just feels totaly broken. Even my guildies are saying they dont like to heal protect at all.

ionic fern
ionic fern
#

if you're playing the class incorrectly you WILL be punished hard.

outer solstice
#

yeah but that goes for most tanks

#

even DHs xD

ionic fern
#

Yes, that's what i said.

void cradle
#

I cant push all my CDs on every tras

ionic fern
#

"It mostly comes down to the player rather than the class".

#

Why would you need to push all your CDs on every trash pack?

outer solstice
#

I'm just a bit sad that kiting is that prime meta ...

ionic fern
#

SB/IP/DS are enough for the majority of your pulls.

ionic fern
void cradle
#

They are raping me fast and IP is just ... meh. It is gone even before you cast it. Then I dont have resources for other skills

ionic fern
#

You are supposed to use Shield Block as your primary mitigation tool. IP is there just to help smooth the damage even more.

outer solstice
#

I had that experience on 8s and 9s, got a lot better on 10s and 12s when ppl knew what kicks are

void cradle
#

It is not about key levels, it is about survivability at all

ionic fern
#

🤔

#

On lower keys you get away with more mistakes and using less defensives as the damage intake is less punishing.

spare oracle
#

whats your haste? low haste i felt that way, its gotten way better though

ionic fern
#

I'm hovering currently around the 14 range and i'm not feeling squishy nor do i feel the need to kite and/or use all my CD's on every pack.

void cradle
#

Compared to DH we are total trash. I see it when I am in CN with my guilde. He plays DH and he can stand 2wice more then me.

ionic fern
#

Do you have any logs?

void cradle
#

I have some ... but dont have time for it right now ...

mighty valley
#

lmao

ionic fern
#

Okay, then i'm kinda confused about why you are complaining.
I thought you were looking to get better at the class.

wispy tundra
#

Sounds like a rotation thing, make sure you know when the big hits are so you can mitigate

spare oracle
#

what would you say tank order of difficulty is rn like easiest to hardest

mighty valley
#

difficulty to play or to heal?

spare oracle
#

play

outer solstice
#

@spare oracle 28% atm

I haven't played prot pally or guardian druid so I dunno about that...

But brew is definitely easiest

for me personally that is... my order it Brew>vengence>prot warrior>blood dk

nah

ionic fern

Ooh, 28 is solid.

#

I'm at like..20

spare oracle

im at like 16 haha

@ionic fern got venari to exalted today, so added 4 sockets with haste, and a lot of haste/versa gear from PvP

also gnome

ionic fern
#

Nice.

outer solstice

anyway, it still doesn#t feel like butter xD but rage is a lot better

was forced into sludefist hc last week as our tank got booted off the guild

im not looking forward to hc sludge

im lost lol

ionic fern
outer solstice
#

@spare oracle pain supp, ironbark and such

spare oracle
#

ahh

#

so other peoples cds?

ionic fern
#

Roughly, yes.

#

Healers have CD's that reduce your damage taken and/or increase healing received etc.

#

These are refered to as "externals".

#

For example Iron Bark has a 1 minute CD and reduces your damage taken by 20%.

spare oracle
#

i saw something about intervene on sludge, can it be used at all or would you get nuked

ionic fern
#

You're a warrior, you excel at taking physical blockable hits.
Just make sure you have Shield Block up.

spare oracle
#

always feel like im dying in that fight ahah

ionic fern
#

Do you have logs?

eternal musk
#

i have a dumb question lol how do you dodge overhead slash in 1st boss of spires just killed my 14 key and even when i did dodge and move to the side i would be hit with it for like 75% of my hp pool with shield block + ip up

#

do i have to go through him during cast and be behind him

#

is it even blockable lol

#

cuz i would move to the side and it looks like im completely out of the way and still get hit

#

sometimes i would leap away and be hit with it

spare oracle
eternal musk
#

im assuming you cant dodge

spare oracle
#

had a lot of downtime

ionic fern
#

I'm not 100% sure if they have changed something about it but it used to deal damage 2 times in a single event.
You can sidestep one part of the damage but not both parts.

#

@eternal musk

eternal musk
#

aaahh

#

i see

ionic fern
#

You can get lucky and parry it tho.

eternal musk
#

hmm problem is luck is not reliable

#

😄

ionic fern
#

Jep.

#

Unfortunately.

eternal musk
#

ill figure it out thanks

spare oracle
ionic fern
#

You should be running Bolster and ItF for this boss for the increased block uptime.

#

You're also missing Shield Slam casts

spare oracle
#

ahhh

#

i think im wasting bunch of rage too

ionic fern
#

Naa

#

There you are more or less good

spare oracle
#

sicck

ionic fern
#

In general, swap around your talents and fill SB downtime with Bolster.

spare oracle
#

just for that fight?

ionic fern
#

UF in general is pretty bad and you should aim for ItF instead.

#

For raids atleast.

spare oracle
#

kk

ionic fern
#

AM can be used on the majority of the bosses.

#

But if you're struggling on Sludge then you should look at Bolster.

spare oracle
#

coulda been my gear a bit too, i got a 213 shield now and upgraded my wall and swapped a ring so im not a t like 9% haste anymore lol

#

ty for all the info though 🙂

wooden spruce
#

hey guys, need a bit of advise; been tanking both with my warr and dk, but atm, my dk with 174 was pushing +6 with just some difficulty, while my warr been suffering a lot; know my class, been mt of my guild but for progres they want me to use my dk but i just love my warr to much, except it feels squishy

#

im caping versta>haste>mastery

ionic fern
#

M+ is heavily dependant on the group and DPS - if your DPS don't interrupt or have too low damage you will suffer.

lavish oracle
#

ilvl > anything else for warrior, at the moment

wooden spruce
#

also my war is 195

ionic fern
#

Also, you should be focusing on Haste>Versa when comparing similar ilvl items

#

You should easily be able to do 10+ keys with 195.

lavish oracle
#

Your secondaries aren't gonna have a lot of impact on how tanky you feel, generally

#

like, more is better and you'll probably find that more haste feels smoother to play

#

A lot of Mythic+ as warrior is knowing when and how damage will happen so you can deal with it before it becomes a problem

#

DK is much more forgiving in that way

wooden spruce
#

yeah i know that from warr, i have had issue with healers on last stones, but my sidekick (sham heal) been sweating a bit on some pulls for my stones and even in raids

jagged pier
#

then you might be doing somthing wrong

wooden spruce
#

was thinking on changing some talents, im using ravag but i was thinking on chaning to itf for extra haste

#

at least on raid

lavish oracle
#

Honestly, if you're having trouble in 6s, it might be something more fundamental than talent choice

#

watching other people play the class can help highlight what they're doing differently or even recording your own keys to see where you're making mistakes

#

Though, for the latter you have to know what you're looking for

wooden spruce
#

today i have a meeting with my team to see if i should keep my dk or my warr for pushing m+ and the raid

#

but thanks

ionic fern
#

Honestly, play what you enjoy.
Your tank choice won't make or brake anything if you play it properly.

#

If you're "feeling squishy" just provide logs in this Discord and we can look into it.

fallow mortar
#

My group and I are having a tough time timing for 9s. Damage and heals are there, but I guess we are just not choosing efficient paths. Would watching people go through 10+ keys and doing the routes/pulls they go through be the same for keys below 10s?

lavish oracle
#

The routes won't be the same if you're going for maximum efficiency, Prideful has a pretty significant impact on routing

#

but any route they use for +10 should still work fine for 9 and under

jagged pier
#

I mean 10s are easier than 9s

lavish oracle
#

For sure

spare oracle
#

10s are easier?

lavish oracle
#

once you get used to handling prideful, it's very useful

jagged pier
#

yer prideful is a huge buff

lavish oracle
#

speeds up keys a lot

ionic fern
#

10s are a lot easier yeah.

#

If you time prideful well.

spare oracle
#

what does prideful do?

ionic fern
#

Increases your damage/healing for a minute.

fallow mortar
#

so we just need to get over the 9 hump that we are stuck on

lavish oracle
#

creates a big mob every 20% forces that pulses AoE damage and gives you a huge buff when it dies

#

I mean, once you get past 9, you'll probably struggle the first one or two times you run a key as a 10, just getting the prideful timings down and getting used to managing cooldowns to kill it efficiently

#

but after that it can speed up dungeons a lot

#

Especially if you can get one going into every boss this week

versed bough
#

What trinket should we be using ?

#

that's from dung?

lavish oracle
#

Anima Field Emitter and Blood-spattered Scale are both very good

#

I've heard Decanter is pretty good too

ionic fern
#

Phial is also solid for more damage.

lavish oracle
#

but I don't have a decent ilvl of it

jagged pier
#

i run decanter and sire trinket, but ive not got much choice

ionic fern
#

Oh, and if you can get your hands on the Hymnal of the Path (WQ) it's also stupid.

lavish oracle
#

Sire trinket is very strong defensively

ionic fern
#

I'm still running a 164 one.

#

😂

wooden spruce
#

i sold it 🤦‍♂️

ionic fern
#

Sold what?

wooden spruce
#

hymnal

#

im running with stonehearth and spike

ionic fern
#

Hymnal is usually like 4-5% of my overall damage even at 164 ilvl.

lavish oracle
#

Spike's probably fine, cannot confirm, can't get it to drop :c

ionic fern
wooden spruce
lavish oracle
#

they'll show all the combat information from a dungeon run or raid boss fight

jagged pier
#

i mean bolster for one will make you tankier

lavish oracle
#

Venthyr likewise is not going to feel very good on prot

jagged pier
#

especially if your using condemn on aoe

wooden spruce
#

i know venthyr is not the best option, chose it for my dps on arenas though

lavish oracle
#

It shouldn't be holding you back from completing keys for sure (though from what I understand Kyrian is quite good for warrior PvP)

sleek thorn
ionic fern
#

Yes.

lavish oracle
#

I should start watching my WQs more closely 😄

sleek thorn
#

No doubt. I think I sold a pretty high version of it

ionic fern
#

I'll probably swap it out for the Hakkar trinket once the damage intake gets too high but it'll take some time for that to happen.

wooden spruce
#

then i think i will reroll kyrian haha; @ionic fern how's hymnal for raid?

sleek thorn
#

Yea, definitely vendored a 177 hymnal on Christmas.

So, skills aside, any recommendation on stats(hp, armor, vers)/gear for an average tanknto do 7,s 9,s and 10+

There are no certain amounts.

there's not like, a fixed amount

Ok, so you are saying np soing 10s in 20k hp?

Idk what ilvl that is.

You need a certain number to be able to do content

Certain ilvls?

We provided ilvls.

you can eeeeeasily do 10s in 185s

jagged pier
#

he asked about 10s and lower not 15s

ionic fern
#

Idk what to tell you.
It all comes down to your gameplay/group/dungeon knowledge.
I doubt any class discord will be like
"Oh, for a +7 you NEED 170 ilvl".

lavish oracle

Anyways, I don't think this conversation is productive so I'm gonna stop replying

Brutal vitality vs stalwart guardian for M+?

Unnerving Focus is my go to, though

fallow mortar

with some covenants you can get both @lavish oracle

pure sun
#

I'm not sure how strong brutal is , I also have unnerving since I'm running kleia this week for M+ since the vial that removes necrotic for 8 secodns is too strong

Does Lightless Force or Celestial Guidance sim higher on damage?

Sim yourself.

It's impossible to say since we don't know your gear.

@fallow mortar Yeah, I'm swapping to both once the 2nd Pelagos potency opens up

fallow mortar
#

I have thoetar and thinking of going for 3 endurance slots 👀

late spruce
#

I now understand why prot never picks up. Literally any othrr class community can give general guidance.

Here it is "bro it doesnt matter". It litterally does. For an average player there are certain cushins you want.

Just like there is a lowest amount of dps you need to clear certain contents, there is a certain amount of survivability you need to not struggle as a tank.

I thought this was common knowledge. But sunce the expectationnis that you are an elite player hat can breeze through M+ in quest greens I guess there are stupid questions after all.

lavish oracle
#

Any other class discord is giving you bullshit answers that barely mean anything

#

don't know what else to tell you

late spruce
#

Other discords have an idea on health pool

#

Vers

#

You don't need any set amount of Vers.

late spruce
#

Etc

fallow mortar
#

healthpool=ilvl

spare oracle
#

ilvl is king

ionic fern
#

Why are we even talking about specific stats.
You prioritize Ilvl since more stats = better stats, when comparing similar ilvl items you prioritize Haste.
For which ilvl you can do things or in your terms "at which HP", IT DEPENDS.
As said before - people were doing +10s with like 185 gear - are you as good as those people? Idk, i have never seen you play.
People are also depleting +10s with 205 ilvl.

hi. can You help me? Inscrutable Quantum Device is good for Us Warriors?

Am I destined to be a giant healbag for that fight?

We just did that tonight

#

If you are good with using your defensives correctly you should be fine.... most of the fight is everyone else running mechanics

#

even if you mess up the swap and someone gets 3 bleeds it shouldn't be that bad, it will wear off eventually and you will be back to your regular swap

cinder nova
#

I mean, even through block the adds are clobbering me for like 5 - 7K a swing

lavish oracle
#

It's crazy watching Lightee just casually shit out 2 chests on 15 keys on his warrior, he could absolutely be annihilating the warrior leaderboards if he cared to play it in keys

And the boss does about 9K

203, Kyrian, ITF AM wall

I'm usually saving SR for the second application so I'm DRing as much damage as possible once it applies the dot

Then rolling that into wall

Still getting goofed.

fallow mortar
#

try using bolster

#

I used bolster

#

staying alive felt a lot easier that way

How's block going to stop a dot from killing me

#

blocking isn't my issue

lavish oracle
#

The boss still does white swings

so does the add

clear ruin
#

white swings?

lavish oracle
#

regular ass melee hits

cinder nova

I'm aware. They're still doing a shitload through block. My mastery isn't mongo so my crit blocks aren't proccing often.

#

yeah I only shield blocked when i had agro

cinder nova
#

Ditto.

#

Let me ask a better question.

#

On your kills are you getting healing approximately x2 as much as your cotank?

#

Mine's a DH

clear ruin
#

it could be a healer issue?

#

let me check logs

cinder nova

I know some wipes were just not getting healed.

its sounding more like a healer thing

It might be, but that can't stop me from trying to figure out if we're just chopped liver on that fight now at the mercy of the dot or if there's more besides SR/wall/LS we can do

#

It's not worth it to sit on Demo

clear ruin
#

looks like my paladin cotank got a lot more heals than me

cinder nova
#

And IP wont last a tick, but it's worth doing regardless.

jagged pier
cinder nova
#

How much of it was external?

clear ruin
#

all the other healers showed similar results regarding tanks

#

only one of the healers healed me more than the pally

#

oh right ^_^ good point @jagged pier

cinder nova
#

Right you need to look at Done To Friendly

#

For example, my DH healed 68% of his healing intake

#

but I only did ~31% of mine

clear ruin
#

I actually self healed more than the pally

cinder nova
#

How much?

clear ruin
#

he healed 94.8k I healed 95.3k

cinder nova
#

???? on H Darkvein?

clear ruin
#

wait

#

hold on

cinder nova
#

I think we might be looking at different fights or numbers maybe

153K from indom

if you go for a darkmoon deck

#

Yeah, just glancing at logs from mythic, seems like warrior doesn't really require any special treatment on innerva

deft vessel
#

oof, two use trinkets is not great tho

since they can't be used together

#

I don't use them together lol

deft vessel
#

fair fair

#

I haven't had luck on trinket drops

its just what I got

deft vessel
#

my luck has been...okay?

clear ruin
#

nice!

I wish I had that

lavish oracle
#

looks like warrior def needs more than DH on Inerva, though

#

seems pretty even with most other tanks

clear ruin
#

Personally I am enjoying prot warrior a lot.

#

I don't really have any complaints other than I am upset I cant be top dps on meters

#

XD

lavish oracle
#

It is incredibly underrated at the moment, I think

#

I wish they would buff our DPS a teeny tiny bit

clear ruin
#

yeah ^_^

cinder nova
#

Kinda wish they'd just reverse the talent shuffle

lavish oracle
#

we would be busted again if we could take AM/Bolster 😄

cinder nova
#

I don't think so considering the raid utility other tanks bring

#

All we have is shout and that's supplanted by taking arms/fury

lavish oracle
#

Intervene can be pretty big

cinder nova
#

Pfft

deft vessel
#

yeah, that's the thing, I wish we had our niche maintained a bit better as the "damage tank"

cinder nova
#

Big yeah

#

It's a lazy gap close at best, at worst you use it to save a DPS from a focus mechanic like fixation in PF

spare oracle
#

my damage is garbage 😦

cinder nova
#

It's criminally niche

deft vessel
#

we're still tanky, sufficiently so, but we're no longer the "damage tanks" and when we ...don't have the damage, and don't have the utility then....there's just better options?

cinder nova
#

It's too specific to be considered raid utility

lavish oracle
#

It's a big external you can put on your co-tank

cinder nova
#

And it benefits one person on a 30s cd

lavish oracle
#

niche, sure

cinder nova
#

At your expense and likely life if it's a stack mechanic

lavish oracle
#

but when you find its niche it comes in clutch

deft vessel
#

it is a major external yes, it functions like any other external (typically from a healer) and can save a tank if necessary

clear ruin
#

what is our niche btw?

#

lol

deft vessel
#

we don't really have one right now

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

cinder nova
#

Right

lavish oracle
#

Taking physical damage, mostly

cinder nova
#

That's my gripe

clear ruin
#

hhahaha

spare oracle
#

we simply exist

clear ruin
#

sludgefist is easy as prot warrior

lavish oracle
#

though Bear is better, probs

cinder nova
#

Every other tank seems to have a niche

clear ruin
#

thats for sure

spare oracle
#

and take abuse

deft vessel
#

we're an okay tank with okay damage and okay survivability, but nothing extraordinary in any part

lavish oracle
#

We're just pretty well rounded, at the moment

#

which can feel pretty bad, if you don't shine anywhere in particular

deft vessel
#

a well played prot warrior can absolutely perform at the highest level (see world first), and prot warrior is still a generally hard tank to play right compared to the "naturally tanky classes" like druid and monk

#

even prot pally has easy uptime on their stuff now

#

so it doesn't see much play in lfg

lavish oracle
#

I don't know how naturally tanky monk is at the moment, I have heard mixed reports, at best

I'm okay with challenging play, it just doesn't feel like we're rewarded in any way for it other than "You get to live."

deft vessel
#

yeah, no, that's true indeed

#

and stagger is always consistently strong

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

clear ruin
#

my brewmaster alt doesn't feel as tanky as my prot warrior personally

#

but maybe im just not playing my brewmaster right

coral marsh
#

pretty unfair vial removes necrotic

deft vessel
#

I expect it to be nerfed to be honest

#

but I wouldn't say unfair, it's a 3min cooldown that requires you to drop combat before it starts recharging again

#

so it's...less useful than you think

#

you still need to drop combat and can't chain pull

spare oracle
#

how much do you think running itf will affect my dmg instead of uf

lavish oracle
#

I dunno, I've been using it basically on CD this week

deft vessel
#

depends on context

spare oracle
#

raid wise

deft vessel
#

in single target in raid? (or even in dungeon) into the fray will just be better

#

you essentially have permanent 10% haste which is huge for shield block uptime and generally for DPS

lavish oracle
#

In raid, ITF is better damage than UF by a fair amount if you can get 10% out of it consistently

deft vessel
#

while the value of ravager and unstoppable force is reduced in non-aoe situations

lavish oracle
#

UF is the worst talent in that row for damage in any situation, afaik

spare oracle
#

what percent of dmg are you guys generally mitigating in raid? im sitting at around 60ish wondering how high i can push it

chilly brook
#

2 chested an 11 SD and chested a 13 HoA

#

both recorded

spare oracle
#

gz

chilly brook
#

both pugs

deft vessel
#

nice

chilly brook
#

So now I have something to analyze and link to people who are having issues lol

clear ruin
#

grats dude!

lavish oracle
#

how is SD this week?

spare oracle
#

oooo study material

chilly brook
lavish oracle
#

inspiring not too bad?

chilly brook
#

The hardest part is dropping necrotic stacks in the gauntlet

#

nah

lavish oracle
#

sick, was worried there'd be inspiring in some of the scary caster pulls

chilly brook
#

There was 1 with an overseer

#

But it melted

#

And you can always just CC the one

#

And pull the rest away

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, fair

sleek thorn
#

Imagine playing with good dps lol

ionic fern
#

Pug life best life.

#

You never know if they are going to do 3k overall or 5k

#

Good times.

#

Tho as you get into the 13+ keys they are pretty reliable.

spare oracle
#

what lvl keys should i run to get use to tanking m+, only ever done them as dps, sitting at 202 ilvl though

sleek thorn
#

Study first

#

Tanknotes my friend

spare oracle
#

^

#

already been going over it

chilly brook
#

This boomie did 5.4k in the 13

#

straight nuts

ionic fern
#

Ngl, best way to learn is just jump straight into it.

chilly brook
#

ripped off me on some boss pulls

spare oracle
#

@ionic fern how deep? xD

ionic fern
#

If you know the class basics it's just the dungeons/pulls.

#

How comfortable are you with the dungeon mechanics and Protection basics?

sleek thorn
#

Knowing what mobs are going to kill you is helpful

ionic fern
#

Chances are you can just start from like 5-6 if you wanna play it safe.

spare oracle
#

prot im fairly comfortable

#

yea safe sounds good

sleek thorn
#

7-9 is purgatory

ionic fern
#

Just remember.
The DPS players in those key levels are your real enemies.
They will:
1)Stand in everything so the healer is forced to heal them more
2)Ignore most mechanics
3)Will not interrupt, or will interrupt all at once, or interrupt the wrong thing
4)Not know what CC is.

#

So you just have to do literally EVERYTHING yourself.

#

Knowing what is deadly and needs to be stunned/interrupted is something you should get to know asap

languid heath
#

Or focus the wrong target even if there’s a skull marker on one

ionic fern
#

Jeh, or that.

spare oracle
#

i have the dangerous mob marking weak aura so might help lol

ionic fern
#

Probably wont.

#

😂

sleek thorn
#

That weak aura automarker is great imo

spare oracle
#

me atleast

#

let me know what to focus starting out

#

xD

sleek thorn
#

It's just easier to call things if they're already marked. Can assign interrupts and stuns

spare oracle
#

true

sleek thorn
#

You need some way to track shield block uptime. Ignore pain too

spare oracle
#

already do

#

ip one is my best friend

ionic fern
#

👀

spare oracle
#

i use to over cap my ip or not notice it was down, has helped a lot

ionic fern
#

I rarely focus on my IP value outside of "Is it up or not".

#

😂

spare oracle
#

haha

sleek thorn
#

Wowhead just dumped an article about phial clearing necrotic. And using kleia's phial granting 8s immunity to necrotic. No nerfs plz

fringe marten
#

Can anyone confirm; tried to do a M0 with another guildie who made a plate twink. We didn't both get loot on every boss...at the end there were just a couple items.

#

Is it always 'assuming' you have a 5 man group, and if one of the phantom players gets an item..it just deletes it?

spare oracle
#

0.o

fringe marten
#

It was very odd, that one of us didn't get loot per boss.

untold raptor
#

Tunderlord or The Wall for m+ legendery....wich will have beter usage?

fringe marten
#

Which one do you think has the greasiest juice?

sleek thorn
kindred warren
#

There should be a bot that posts this info every 20 min

sleek thorn
#

I'm not even flaming him, there's just not a legit answer everyone will agree on

#

Just make a poll and then pin the results lol

spare oracle
#

so far i really enjoy the play of wall

jagged pier
#

Rip

tired cove
patent cairn
#

Which defensives do you guys use on big trash pulls ? Those who stands before tombs for each boss . They often just oneshots me...

#

Da other side^

ionic fern
#

Nothing special.

#

Jump in, DS,LS(if needed),SR(if needed), deal damage, jump out.

#

And then kite.

restive flax
#

If your party knows how to blast them down asap you shouldnt need much else ye

ionic fern
#

SW can also be used on the Zul'Gurub pack.

steady fiber
#

should i consider taking jump talent ?

ionic fern
#

I think that was one of the bigger cast ones.

ionic fern
restive flax
#

The Ardenweald one has 3 cultists and the big boi I think?

cinder nova
#

Anyone know why MDT is down on wago?

patent cairn
#

@ionic fern DS ?

cinder nova
#

And more importantly, does anyone have a good prideful route for SoA this week?

restive flax
#

The Zul Gurub one has less casters, but more mobs so... 😄

ionic fern
chilly brook
#

NF op

patent cairn
#

Oh, ty

steady fiber
#

Btw what about the wall and thunder (atm with wall) there is huge gap vs both of them in m+ or meh mode still ?

chilly brook
#

If they're not dead and you're in a sticky situation leap down the stairs

cinder nova
#

I'd say wall higher keys, but you can probably easily do it with TGV

chilly brook
#

Give yourself some breathing room

#

Keys feel real nice rn

patent cairn
#

@ionic fern On those pulls SB too, right ?

chilly brook
#

Oh shid

ionic fern
#

SB should be maintained on every pull where you are taking blockable damage

chilly brook
#

900 Andy now bois

ionic fern
#

?

chilly brook
#

I'm a 900 andy

jagged pier
#

i run bounding stride all the time tbh

ionic fern
#

Oh, like you got 900 score?

fallow mortar
#

bounding stride is really helpful

ionic fern
#

Gz.

chilly brook
#

yea 900 io

jagged pier
#

700 andy here

chilly brook
#

Gonna push for more tomorrow

#

Wanna hit 1k

ionic fern

#

I'm slacking.

chilly brook
