I'm leaning towards the 2 with the highest haste, so tthe last 2, but if I drop the pvp one I lose 127 verse
thoughts?
do it
when ur trying to do ur 14s for weekly and a warlock does 2k dps
thats not where u wanna be in life
what would u guys upgrade with conq
197 emitter to 220 badge
or 207 gloves to 220 gloves
gloves
armor pieces have higher prio than rings/neck/trinkets until you have max ilvl on them
because of the armour?
What loot spec i should open vault
Yes
hey, for offtanking as prot what legendary should I get?
what does offtanking mean in this case?
off spec tanking when a tank needs to leave the raid early I usually tank
I think if you try and find a legendary that's OK at both DPS and tanking you'll just end up nerfing both
I already have my dps one
Just have your main DPS legendary and then swap to The Wall when it's time to tank
the wall, ok that's what I was asking for XD
yeah, sorry, didn't know if you meant offtank as in 2nd tank
which is really just Other Main Tank in most cases
2 stacks of what, on whirlwind?
Anyone wanna take a look at my logs.
layer 4 floor 18 boss damage lol
...what powers did you get lol?
and im not even venthyr
or was it 40? whatever it is...it's mad nasty
it doubles the damage to begin with, then you just make sure to get the 30 or 40? executes in, then that just because your only rage dump LOL
I miss the original jagged knife, or whatever it was. the 10,000% damage on heroic throw
30
that's theone i had
with charge and leap giving 200% damage
avatar (recklessness with signet power), charge, execute spam
intervene out, charge back in, execute spam
leap, execute spam
dead
So one thing I noticed is sometimes I'll just tank huge pulls in M+, but sometimes I'll start lacking rage, and I'm wondering if maybe its because I use alot of dmg spells (Revenge and stuff), I also use Ignore Pain alot but yeah Idk in some pulls it feels sometimes like I'm having toruble generating enough rage to spam mitigation abilities and then it gets dangerous
I rarely die I'm usually able to execute an ennemy to get victory rush and survive but Idk
Yo, where can i see the best trinkets for M+?
first time playing PROT, how do i heal myself
that shouldnt be your focus at all
i just went prot so i dont get dismounted while i pick floewrs lol
but my hp is getting low w/ 100s of mobs hitting me after a hour
no way to heal?
kill some thing and victory rush off it, use indom talent and spend rage
oof
we arent built for healing at all, it helps smooth damage intake in group content but we are almost purely a mitigation tank, we reduce our damage intake as much as possible
ok
anyone know of a reliable way to reset tenderize stacks on necrotic wake?
First 3 weeks of the vault were very lack luster for me, this week I got a 220 Blood-Spatter Scale. I'm no longer a vault hater
@sick sentinel trees, growl, hammer stun, bop, or have a buddy taunt to help you kite
Hmmm double potency Pelagos, or take the 1 of each route and turn phial into a hot
I'm looking at double endurance like 👀
I don't think double potency is the way to go, though
Show of Force just doesn't perform
Double potency is pretty underwhelming
Imho
Double endurance is nice though
AM build in raids with shield wall reduction and increased rage gen
👀
im noticing, that Wall is quickly catching TGV for leggo in m+. is this the new play?
Hard to tell
I use the wall but it's because it's what I crafted
Because raid
TGV has a lot of potential in dungeons especially this week
I'm no top dog but like 952io and I could certainly see areas where I'd want one or the other
best enchant for weapon?
depends on what your doing content wise I usually carry several of them and swing around chants, but for M+ I like Lightless Force
i was using the one that they take 6% more damage from you for a bit
Well even being a Warrior and the tank that everyone almost automatically expects to fail in M+ I always run Lightless Force in M+
Hey I have a question about Kin-Tara, first boss of SoA,
So we just did a M+3 SoA, and while its easy and we timed it easily with 17 minutes left,
Kin-Tara fucking destroys me, like I do the strat where you always kite her BEHIND the bird, but she does this AoE Cone burst attack I think its overhead slash, and it LEGIT does like 80% of my HP instantly even with dem. shout up, Ignore pain and shield block
Like am I supposed to be able to tank it or am I supposed to dodge it?
because it seems super hard to dodge
The meme boy streamers and there meta cough (bullshit) did there job well to convince everyone were vasstly inferior to other tanks in M+
im so torn on what tank to main haha
But I do not feel we do all that bad to be honest, we do however have such a strong perception of being a weak M+ tank that if you have to pug your keys... oh man talk about a shit show trying to convince people otherwise
@fossil summit You can dodge that attack, by stepping out of the way of it before it go off, or just make sure SBlock is up, use a CD, and pumping extra rage into IP as you would normally, but if it hits you without SBlock up, or you are unprepared to dodge it then yes it can shit on you
Hey all, im just starting to look into prot warrior. I main an arms warrior but was looking to off spec prot to run lower ilvl guildies through m+. Is that a decent idea? Or should i run a different class that has an easier time with m+?
wait so even if its an AoE Cone it counts as a melee attack?
if you just insta strafe right or left as soon as the cast starts you'll miss it, if you keyboard turn you'll probably die
Also we are one of the tanks that has a pretty good chance of surviving it unless your at a fairly high key level and just completely unprepared for it
On high key Tyrannical weeks I would just make sure you dodge it, but on Fort weeks if for some reason you do not dodge it but prepare for it you should be fine
that's not true, they fixed it, you can "natural" dodge or parry it but you can't like leap away or intervene out to dodge the attack. And it's not a cone anymore so don't worry about hitting melee dps.
Twisting Corridors is like ice cream for dinner
How much haste is too much bois?
no such thing
@low kindle can you link the patch note where they made it not a cone. i cant find it. pretty sure facing it away from melee and side stepping is still the play
is venthyr actually that bad for prot warrior
idk ive been watching some 15+ keys a prot warrior
hes using venthyr and doing well
it was on Dec 18
There's a screenshot in case you don't wanna scroll down/search 😛
Venthyr just gives more mobility in the form of there Covenant ability, and of course Condemn which is hella big ST damage, but outside of that its really a matter of what I considered rather trivial covenant conduits. That all being said I feel Kyrian and NFae vastly out perform Venthyr especially in M+
Also me being a DiD and Kyrian gave me, 2 ways to cleanse necrotic so that felt awesome as hell last week
Just literally let them stack up, cleanse if the pack was not dead by then I would either run or spend one cleanse, and then on next pack or 2 packs based off of the size of the pull use second cleanse there. Honestly being Kyrian, a Dwarf, and a Warrior gave so many ways to cheese necrotic it was silly last week.
@cinder pasture @low kindle thank you very much. so i guess now we just used defensive and pray?
it doesn’t do that much dmg
aight
trying to decide between getting thunderlord on my hands or my feet. According to raidbots the legendary has the same stat amounts, so does it really matter? I noticed the guide says to prioritize boots because theyre weighted more but maybe im misunderstanding
my hands are currently 187 and feet are 207 so hands would be much more of an upgrade
what are healers that synergize the best with prot warrior, in M+
my friend plays Druid healer and sometimes I feel like either they're getting overwhelmed or I am
what food is better defensivly haste or feasts?
I think there's a decent hand that drop from raid so I crafted the feet
the hands drop off generals or something
decent feet drop off shriekwing
if ur doing mythic at any point then u will find it easier to get boots
but the better answer is it doesn’t matter, make it on whatever ur want... try not to think too much about your gear right now though if u will have the chance to upgrade
that makes sense. I appreciate the input. Unfortunately pretty much just do M+ as a tank so ill do hands
there’s a difference of like 12 armour or something I think
yeah fair, it’s gonna come down to whatever comes in ur vault and u can’t control that
We are going to be able to sell Torghast TC runs for insane money
would you guys use 210 stoneheart or 184 viscera
probably stoneheart for the strength
@undone jacinth would you upgrade 207 gloves to 220 or 197 trink to 220 badge
id buy conq gloves and upgrade them
yes
personally that’s the trinket I want so I’d do that because gloves are low value anyway
was thinking that there are more good gloves in the lootpool anyway than good trinks
so theyd bbe more likely to be replaced sooner
so id go with trink
there aren’t that many good gloves tbh but having good gloves is less value than trinket
99.8 parse on normal huntsman lole
Pog no more 184
i just... didn't press ignore pain at all
parsing on nm xd
Anyone use Eternal Skirmish?
Yea
Worth over stats?
how much haste is considered decent on Prot Warrior?
idk 1-1.5% dmg, crappy imo but I use same item for dps
As much as you can get at the highest ilvl
I have like 14% without ITF
Mueh’zala
Resolved an issue where Crushed Soul damage was higher than intended on Mythic Keystone difficulty
I knew it!
Okay, I have 7% and it keeps going down, because the only items I get give me a bunch of stats that I dont need and I keep losing haste
it's getting annoying because We'Re starting to get into M+8s and stuff and I'm still only ilvl 178
because the game refuses to give me anything at all whatsoever lmao
yeah I know I did 12 M=s in a row and dropped a total of 0 gear
M+s*
and I dont think PvP will be too fun as a Prot Warrior
issue is I created this toon too late because I created him a couple days ago and now I'm only raider io like 230, and ilvl 178
well, I think at ilvl 178 in +8s I'm gonna start fucking myself over
we just timed a +6 SoA but it was a bit rough to say the least
Looking for some advice on how to improve tanking. I find that my damage is lacking and often I have issues keeping threat on swaps from my Co-tank. He is a Brewmaster Monk (his name is Monkchongo) and seems to just perform better at just about everything, I can admit that he is probably a better tank, but our DPS numbers are just not even close when our parses are in comparable % brackets.
Things that I did today after half of a normal CN to try and improve my DPS numbers: I realized most tanks were running into the fray, which seemed to give a nice 200 DPS boost or so. I was also under the impression we never wanted to use revenge unless it was free, I looked at some parses from top dudes and saw their revenge use was much higher, so I started to use revenge more often; this also seemed to help.
I am looking for advice on how to up my play, as our guild is starting to ramp up into heroic and an end goal of mythic raiding, I dont want to be the limiting factor. I don’t need to be the best tank out there, but I can’t help feel as if I am doing something wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated!

no
Raid is almost over I'll take a look in a few
👍 Ty
@humble grove should try to get an enchant on that chest
Never Surrender doesn't do anything to make Ignore Pain better, whereas indom both increases your health and also smooths the damage intake by restoring HP per rage spent
ok thanks @chilly brook 😄
one of 42 reported parses for thot king mythic
just like uldir all over again
this might just be me talking, but I feel like fortified is tougher than tyrannical
at least on my health bar
youre getting hit more often from more sources
also i cant rely on pugs rortating stuns or screwing up interrupts
Reviewing weapon enchants before raid tomorrow -- currently have Ascended Vigor. Thoughts on Lightless Force vs Sinful Revelation vs Celestial Guidance?
It's more punishing regularly but has a higher ceiling
hey guys, just a random trinket question . i got a 220 slimy consumptive organ in my chest. a 216 armor kit and a 216 set of pants. is the organ any good? i currentylu have a 213 splintered heart and a 194 scale.
Eh
I mean if I'm being honest I would ho with armor kit over it but they're both lackluster trinkets
Do you have 216 or higher pants@trim bay ?
@humble grove just comparing your huntsman to mine looks like you're prioritizing thunderclap just a little too much
Same for shriekwing
Shield slam not only does more damage than pretty much everything else you can cast but its huge rage influx too so casting it everytime it's up is pretty important
Griff is that Belf you ?
The Belf photo of gear on a toon you posted earlier is that you ? I only ask because I am considering using PvP to try and gear up some of my alts which are also tanks and I wondering if for a tank it is worthwhile as usually tanks in PvP is a meme
It's me, I dont think it would be worth it if you were pvping as a tank other than prot paladin
But pvp is worth doing for gear if you can
But I mean as a warrior you have access to arms
So why not use it
Arms does stupid damage rn
In pvp that is
Yeah I mean I would never even consider Arena because hard meme central, but maybe doing BG's or epic BG's "maybe" while I am on the fence. I just do not want to have to grind as hard to gear my alts to level of my main which is like 211 or so
@humble grove one last real quick comment, I dont revenge much when actively tanking but theres plenty of time when your cotank has the boss that you'd be better off just slapping revenge over IP
The only time I IP when not actively tanking is if theres a mechanic on me that's hitting hard or if I'm going to cap rage on my next cast
Oh yeah I slap the shit out of bosses with revenge when off tanking. A nice small buff to use would be if they took the free revenge proc cap away. One can dream because they will not.
Still new myself but I am definitely hitting IP way too much and its gimping my dps and shield block uptime. Working on it.
Yeah the cap
Gotcha
So it could proc indefinitely. It would not be game breaking as its not a insane distance or anything.
It's easy to get into a rythym and just hit things because you have the rage to do so but slow down and actively think about what's coming up and what you need the rage for
Though we would swim in more rage sometimes than we need, and that might make that situation even worse
Already I still find myself just dumping rage into IP to not cap rage, and that feelsbadman
True
pvp in prot is awesome btw
what? IP and shield block are horrible in pvp
90% increased rage gen
Thanks I’ll try to be more mindful of using IP correctly and unless TC. I use the Hekili add on and try to execute the rotation it suggests buy I will look into tweaking it. Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah I have to say I do not know what I would do to really buff us rather than a damage done buff. We still feel considerably below VDH, and Pally's in that area and as we are a tank/dps class I feel we should always slap the hell out of things.
Really? The other tank I run with advocates heavily for it and it seems to work for him, I’ll give it a shot without the add on and see what my DPS is like
Tbh the priority system is pretty simple
Covenant ability>ravager>dragon roar>shield slam>revenge with a free proc>thunderclap>revenge not to cap rage if safe
Also ravager and dragon Roar I only included in that in case you ever talent into it
And thunderclap moves up ahead of revenge if you need the rage but shield slam is on CD
Otherwise revenge does more damage
Do you run DRoar over BVoice in M+ Griff ?
And has the same chance to proc shield slam reset
Nah
BV in m+ for sure
I just run DR in raid for pure single target damage
My bad you were talking about 2 tanks playing together I should learn to scroll up and notice the subject of the conversation
damn those are all heroic parses yeah ?
Ye
damn nice
Council of blood onwards I play more defensive though
Do you swap Leggos per fight to give better damage on fights that allow better AoE usage. I mean some have no adds practically, but where they do I considered swapping between TGV, and the Wall for the very few fights where there are adds anyway
I've just used The Wall exclusively
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sun king you'd probably get more mileage out of TGV
Idk why I have a 99 on that tbh
I dont actively pad
Oh shit
That was today

I still have a hard time going AM, and dropping Bolster, but heroic it feels like it may just be better to run for more SW uses
I dont run bolster until Sludge
It feels wrong to not run AM with the Wall leggo, but some fights it feels like not running bolster would be dumb. I mean for example having more SBlock uptime on fights where less of the fights damage is actual melee is a hard duh moment if you dont AM but yeah I gather you get what I mean about choosing when you want the more SWalls to help with more magic damage or when you want more SBlock uptime
And even then this week was my first time doing it in heroic
Sludgefist onwards are the only fights I'd say bolster is the move for prog
No?
I only asked because in this expac they changed a lot of mechanics for CNathria to prevent Dwarf racials from cleansing all forms of quote/unquote bleeds
more or less if not listed as a direct bleed affect it would not cleanse it is what I mean
Dwarf still removes more than the pot
They just whitelisted some and blacklisted others
They just seemed before SLands launched to want to make sure that certain types of bleed/physical damage over time effects could not be cleansed is what I mean
what are some of the ones dwarf handles that phial doesnt? just curious
Or maybe they did not change things so much as now maybe things are just simply well defined as bleeds or not
Most bleeds in the raid can be cleansed
I mean I know they changed the one for Stone Legion Generals Mythic, but that is so the entire world did not ermagurd to dwarf to cheese that fight due to the wicked laceration and serrated swipes effect
So that one I get it, it is the penultimate fight
Don't have a list off the top of my head but people have said that stoneform applies to some that phial doesn't
It could be entirely wrong
i only know which ones phial definitely does, not a dwarf myself
if you look good you take 1% less dmg
I am a traitor I started out horde many many years ago
I played a lot of Orc, Troll, and Tauren, I loved my Warrior as I do now, and Belfs could not be Warriors
Also I loved me a troll rogue @_@ that mini hero though
when i do make horde characters ive always like goblins for some reason
Do you like to blow things up or play with fire, if so that makes so much sense
i like fly forward and small guy
something fun about being a tiny dude and taking hits
Kind of like why I like playing a dwarf Warrior, I never thought I would play a Dwarf, and then I race swapped to one and heroic leaped and it felt like a midget being fired out of a cannon and I loved it
pretty much my thought when playing a goblin
ayyy got a 96% on shriekwing heroic 😄
i did some math and thats better than 95% of prot warriors
Does Pawn work for prot warriors? Or does it purely look for the best stats for DPS? Talking about simmed stat weights.
Just equip the highest ilvl one
Just for dps
And pawn bad
Pawn bad?! Why?
Stat weights change very fast so even if you did get accurate stat weights from raidbots; changing one item will change the weights
So youre better off just siming top gear
Since youd have to sim new weights after every new item anyway
Question any tech for rip soul as warrior tanking Barghast or just healers need to top off? With brew obviously I just celestial brew each one was curious if there’s anything good for warrior in that
On*
I always resim after changing a piece and import the new weights into Pawn. Doesn’t that accomplish the same thing as siming gear? @sweet summit
I’ve only recently gotten into the siming/Pawn business so sorry for noob
Thats the most "correct" way to use it but if you're gonna sim it anyway then why bother with pawn at all
Only thing pawn is good for is if you like to see green up arrows on your items
pawn was great when simming was too hard to do for every piece of loot
but now that raid bots exists its functionally obsolete
Is Stone Legion Heraldry still worth, even if no one else have that trinket so you dont profit form stat bonus?
hey, is this pipedream macro behavior? intervene target of target if exists or focus if else? i'm having trouble sorting syntax
Spell reflect should be up for every rip
plus a IP for good measure. I like to use my shield wall on the first one blood scale on the second rip.
I usually pool rage and full IB + spell reflect + cd (shield wall, last stand, pain suppression, monk bubble)
not sure if i should take 23ilvl upgrade to legs or 42ilvl upgrade to ring
what does the new ring have on it compared to the old one?
@grizzled forge also with the wall + stalwart guardian and AM you can have SW back for the 3rd or at least the 4th
226ilvl 65 crit/151 mastery or 184 rings with sockets
226
well if the ring doesnt have haste on it its pointless go for the legs
But take legs
yeah long run take the legs
You wanna focus on getting armor pieces first because they offer mainstat
so how is twisting corridors as prot? I kinda wanna jsut go arms for it or do we have a cakewalk in there?
prot has always has always had an ez time in torghast
You might be fighting boredom for first 2 layers?
(i haven't tried 3 yet because of the time sink)
damn, the fixed the PvP quests... can't take them into the next week anymore
ewww just total crap in the chest
boots and cape from raid I already have, a useless normal belt, bracers with crit/versa and 2 PvP items,... gloves and ring, neither with haste,.... but I guess that'll be the gloves then
(220 PvP items)
I feel bad for two guildies who spent an unknown amount of time, and 3 hours of time to die on last level
imagine if you couldn't die at all
we'd have the Korean M+ guy but in Torghast
600k health, 600k IP, constant shield wall, last stand up so fast
not hard to imagine
oh well 2% haste lost for a 20 ilvl upgrade on gloves, I think that's fair 😛
got to love my 2 226 options where rings with no haste on them C:
classic 😛
but yeah getting the option to grab the same pieces you already got in the raid again isn't better either
Anyone tried vitality sacrifice yet?
how do u get repair hamers
was good till the nerf in beta at least
you make them with engineering or buy them of AH
Think they are called "Auto-Hammer" somethingsomething
do u need engi to use them
No.
another week no PV conduit from world boss
😦
Just reroll Venthyr so it's not a big thing if you don't get the Condemn conduit.


[Torghast General]: Prot is so bad right now.
It's fine. It WF'd and is a pretty competitive M+ tank because of SR and mitigation.
[Torghast General]: Nah, it sucks you're dumb.
- checks io, raid prog, PVP rating
- sub 300, none, none
Why do I do this to myself.
dont bother, getting involved with thoughs guys
It's just so hard to respect willfully stupid people.
Shield is generally the most important item right
Shield big go zug.
not generally it is
then u go
Shield is one of the biggest survival ups.
the biggest
ok nice
I dropped my 184 for a 220 a week back.
thanks lads
Feels so good.
I'm just baffled that people can barely play the game at a difficult that requires any effort or brainpower and think they're knowledgeable arbiters of current spec states.
My guild has stopped inviting to tank m+ on my warr because of that and has a prot pally instead
Show them +15 SR damage on Mordretha
may i suggest you find a new guild then?
Guilds that drop prot warriors are more or less smoothbrain Cro-Magnons because they only know how to ape streamer meta.
I like the people, but they are misinformed a bit 😅
A lot of people are.
The number of "Wow...i thought Protection Warriors were bad" i get at the end of dungeons is stupid.
The entire foundation of their game balance understanding is informed largely by crappy subreddit memes and streamers too stupid to get how Prot warriors work.
And it shows.
I mean - they might not be stupid but they are playing a whole different game.
just link them nerfed
In general famous streamers are the ones pushing WF keys etc so obviously they will want to min-max it.
Their representation of the tank classes just comes from that PoV and their viewers interpretate it into their own content which is not WF keys.
I'd contest that notion as a general stake. I've seen Method sleep on warrior in Legion when it was basically the biggest swinging dick around. In their tank assessments they said they were unplayable.
And it might have something to do with their garbage-tier spec loadout and general lack of understanding.
Sure, those things also happen. 🤷
I think it's a lot more feelycraft than people think.
People also thought that leech was the way to go at some point so...
Think it was in MDI.
I miss legion levels of not needing a healer really that was fun
^^
my co tank kept getting knocked off on agg so i usually had to
TD aggro rips made tanking S P I C Y

We're actually regressing so much
Kind of forgot about that part
new shield from vault lets goooo
That in legion you could just play the game
why is everyone so fuking lucky with the vault but me this is so dumb
Ah watch me
from 187 to 207
(in 9hrs)
<- mastery/vers item inc.
I'll surely get blade dancer trinket and a crit mastery ring from my 14s
Only my first vault was shit rest has been pretty decent
when i have Hakkar and anime field emiter
All of my vaults have been horrible.
😦
And my loot luck is baaad.
Still 204 cause gearing in m+. 💩
I had 223 haste vers socket wrists week1, then 226 haste +X pants and 226 crit mastery helmet
So atleast I got armor pieces
I lucked out, then.
I went from a 184 to 220 shield first vault then a 220 helm for my 197 this week.
Fatty ups.
i go 220 crit mastery wep week1 and then thats it
guess its still better than waiting however many weeks the chances i have equate too though
Quit making it weird, Joro.
Moderate ups.
is it normal if sometimes I start a pull, and say my MM Hunter bursts the shit out of a mob and the mob switches aggro?
There ya go.
<- this is what i got, and some other options which i already had
Slightly above average ups.
Leffa that's an omega neutronium oof.
Can happen if you don't have your CD's.
F
Mediocre at best ups.
splintered heart is pretty shit overall right?
bliz is just having a piss with me
can happen if you dont use cds or the hunter doesnt md you
You can use AoE taunt + double ST taunts.
I've been running Splintered Heart since the raid came out. never goten anything better x(
And jeah, MD.
thats an F if ive ever seen one
Tell him to MD you, how can a hunter ever take aggro????
Yell at them then
Hunters also don't know they have lust/soothe.
Like... That's inting
Actually sad
no because sooner we had a mage that did so much fucking damage it starting getting aggro and a thunder clap+revenge wasnt enough to get it back, I had to use taunts and spear of bastion and everything to get aggro back
i had a bm hunter that didnt know he had a stun till the end of legion
You should be using Spear mostly on CD anyways.
well you should be using spear on pull anyway
like almost 20K DPS in a huge pull

20k ain't that much tbf
Spear/Ravager/Avatar/BV.
yer that was my face, I was like use intimation. legit asked what that was 
They are all on a fairly short CD.
way higher than most people I get for sure,. I tend to outdmg my DPSs in M+s
@strong forum is Splintered heart any good? i have 206 ilvl hakkar trinket / anima field emiter
especially if I Spear of Bastion + Light's Judgement
not better than them imo
hey are you guys preferring into the fray or unstopable force?
Unless you missed some stragglers.
fair enough
nah usually spear alone is enough to get aggro back on anything
Ravager.
For m+ atleast.
ItF for raid in most encounters.
UF is dead talent never run it
can u get loot from Sire in vault? if u kill him?
yep
hmmm ive never thought of ravager as a tank ill test it out
3 weeks no trinket from heroic sire
It's pretty good for higher stuff, the CD of it resets if you actually die.
wtf
have helm and ring from him thanks to vault
In the current meta pretty much everybody abuses cheat death anything
Cuz you can die in the blink of an eye
Pretty stupid
^lowkey thinkin bout that
Wasn't he also using War Machine?
!!1!
cant get ganked while using Leaper
Ngl, it feels like a Torghast build.

lowkey want leaper for movement in the maw
got max rank with vanari today never going back there
oh infinite torghast is up?
I'm on the last 21k
But haven't been in maw in a week
Only did the weekly stuff and then peaced
I just want to log on and play m+, please blizzard. 😦
600 away from 7k / Tentative
I just want to get a shield blizz 😦
i mean i pvp'd so i have 213
I learnt to suck it up last tier for the essences and the transmog this time around is pretty pog, so im happy to do it till 1800
but cant get out of 1600-1700 now as i dont have a good wep
to be fair, you don't have to do the maw, it is torghast for the legendaries
yer but the maw makes torghast easier and sockets
well, not many do
im hoping twisting corridors make its better its too ez and boring right now
yes, but it is not needed. sure it makes content easier, but you could live without doing it
I cant
I also diddn't get any sockets in BfA from the rep
.Cause i never made the rep.
So.. 🤷
I shall pour one out for you Jakey
I dunno just feel like if im not doing stuff to get my char as good as possible im letting the team down
even though most of my team dont do stuff like that XD
ahhhh so it is a personal thing, gotcha
yus
I was scared your guild was forcing you to do it 😂
i dont get mad at anyone for not doing it, its just somthing i have to do
I mean my guilds letting me play prot they dont give a shit
oof
I have a feeling there might be a push to get ppl some gear though soon
like we were .5% off pushing sun king
to phase 2
mythic I take it?
yer
I just can't find a damn 2 hander to save my life for pvp
Like 70% of my guild is sub 210
but like me and the other tank our the highest ilvl in the team atm XD
yer same Nome
2hander for prot? O.o
need one for pvp of course
I do, it is terrible, but I love it
Play arms, free rating
doesnt appear to be for me, but i am shit tbh
like 1800 is the max i could ever get too and im still 100 off that XD
Would a 171 weapon get me to 1800?
If you believe hard enough
just get the honour wep and upgrade to 184 that can get you to 1700 at least
it did for me
its good stats as well haste vers
Didn't the PvP lvl go up this week?
maybe 🤷,
Damnit now I have to check
will be for the honor gear though not conquest
22 is two weeks. We are at 18 now right?
21 this week
^^
I got 1800 with 174 weapon as arms
Ah
btw you can buy a 184 weapon for honor
no reason to be in the arena with anything below
10/10 don't regret being a winter queen simp
yeah but I'm capped again xD like all the time
So, why invest like 8hrs in bgs
8 hours?
Stop winning then
just do the bonus quests 😛
btw fun thing, first time in years ally don't have against overwhelming odds
xD
Took me 4hrs with bonus quest and merc mode for 4.5k honor
O.o
Bgs are aids
Took me 4-5hours to get 11k O.o
My time could be warped, but ya winning the bgs helped
Hi, does anyone have an efficient route for this week Halls of Atonement they could share here?
Rolled in with a group of 5 and we controlled the feild
Wasn't even try Harding though
playing with friends =/= tryharding 🤔
Fr didn't think I'd like Ardenweald as much as I do but its so good
btw the arena skirmish event can be completed in normal arenas as well
Nom teach me how to not be ass at arena
2000 free honor
There aren't options for conquest gear, if youre capping conquest, you get 4k+ honor for just doing that
@chilly brook def stance and survive
Unhinged + spear + Sweeping strikes + avatar + sharpen blade + bladestorm
Ez triple kill
don't forget spellreflect and turn off def stance before bursting
also follow with stormbolt once spear runs out
You never sit def stance unless you get tunneled
you can do it through defensive stance now
but arenas atm are basically who can kill in burst first
Yes it's amazing
tf is unhinged?
arms leggo
Legendary
MS twice in bladestorm
And the MS gets cleaved by Sweeping strikes
^^
So 4 MS :)
Oh right, I was sitting here wondering what to do with all my extra soul ash
Arms leggo
overpower twice with sharpen blade can also kill someone with a crit
what do you guys play? ret holy arms?
resto druid arms atm
Arms firemage rsham
And arms rsham
2s takes soooo much longer 😛
I prefer 2s over 3s
its pretty good the druid runs at 160 movement speed so i just sit healer while he kites
against druis death sentence is fun
once they are low theyx start running
but you charge charge charge
not a good druid though
If a druid doesn't run 24/7
I'll probably end up running with my M+ group so like hpal/arms/fire or hpal/arms/sub
He's weird
well DPS druids
Or rather, if the druid doesn't kill you back
not resto obviously
and you dont usually run death sentence probably the worst talent for arena tbh
yeah I only put it on for druids
it helps secure kills
So mages can't peace the fuck out
deleted by a marksman hunter feelsbadman
just disarm
Disarm
yeah unless you face spellcleave always disarm
too smart 5 me
duels good, bladestorm ones pretty much much mandartory tbh
cause of leggo
duels actually so strong against a monk that just sits your healer
Is there any Haste cap for prot warriors?
160%
as you can disarm stun fear and duel the monk they do no damage to you or healer
<literally haven't pvp'd since WoD
Yo lemme just get in here
Can I say whoever is responsible for the fantastic facial and lip work in these new cutscenes deserves a huge raise.
So much more nuanced emotion.

lip sync is bad imo
From ..Pelagos? My emo boy
Pelagos is the actual good soul bind..but Kleia is the warrior...? With the heal proc instead of mastery..? I don't get blueman group at all.
Anyone get a sexy from the vault?
216 shield 🙂 replacing the 200 pvp one
nice
would need your help. which upgrade is the better mix between dmg and survivablity?
Would go for the weap, from my point of view. so i wont have to go for suboptimal secondary stats on shoulder. BUt shoulder has more Str and HP
urgh I really need to fins an arena bro to go 1400
theres a 220 shield in that picture
Take shield
^^
the shield is less of an upgrade, i think
It's the biggest upgrade
its not
It's the most important slot
it is the biggest upgrade you can get only piece with block on it
that was a close one
but it has suboptimal stats and no mainstats more?
It has block value
it doesnt matter block is stronger
the more block you have the more damage you block
blocking is that big? wow. i knew that shield was the most important item, but not with "7ilvl vs 20ilvl" on the other big ones
It's bigger than anything else
regarding that @strong forum should I stick with the 213 hc shield with haste or grab a 220 conquest one? (stuck with a 184 weapon that I want to conquest though)
even if that means delaying the weapon?
Si
seems like my question helped out another guy too. thats nice 🙂
appreciate your help!
I guess getting some more ilvl with the ring is the better option here?
honestly nither of thoughs are good options
^^
And Ring is, well ring
yeah, i keep getting rings and trinekts...
F
So been playing protwar in m0 and m+ 2-4 last week. Coming from a monk tank, I was underwhelmed, most notably by the fact that healers are so used to other tanks healing themselves, that the warrior not being able to is an added burden in this world of constant AoE DMG where the healer is already busy enough.
Is it me or does warrior feels at odds amongst other tanks ?
you might be playing wrong, I feel perfectly fine playing it
as we dont heal ourselves all you have to play 100% preemptive, alot of new prots for get that
if you play warrior correctly you take very little damage
can I ask what you were doing when playing. / talents and stuff etc?
first good piece from the vault
not bad
gz
Yooge
and the more your raid gets, the better
what weapons enchant are you guys using? we dont do much self healing so presuming the lightless force?
I use lightless
yeah and now i think about there wont be weeks where necrotic make the healing obsolete.
Idk dude seems fine to me
how is this trinket in m+? sitting on 184 trinkets so would very much like the replace them
its aight
hello, can someone help me? thats my simc from the addon, copy paste it and tell me what I have to improve on my gear. https://pastebin.com/Wf9MWgr0

The difference between a good and a bad Protection Warrior is day and night. It's a lot more "visible" than some other tanks specs. We have to be proactive with our mitigation/damage smoothing not reactive and if we mess it up it shows.
just put it into raidbots it will do it for you
Ended that dungeon at 3.8k overall btw
raidbots doing it for DPS
straight nuts
you can't sim for survival
what lvl? were you only spamming rev?
It was an 11 and nah
We just pulled big lol
yes but you can see my trinkets and rings, and help me out 😛
ravager helps a lot on DPS
I mean unless you have blood scale or sire trinket just run dps trinkets, and get as much haste as possible for suvivability there isnt much else to say
95% of suvivability comes from play not stats or trinkets
probably more
Im having the same issues coming from Brewmaster. And the biggest issue is that prot is all proactive mitigation and BrM is almost all reactive. Its just two completely different play styles. @sick sentinel
I have both blood scale and sire trinket. I have the Stone Legion tringket 220 also
i mean brew inst you just dont need to think with your mitigation as its always up
so u run legion tinrket and one of the other 2
you dont want 2 on use
lot of people run blood scale instaid of sire
Hi guys, was opening great vault and got a question what is better to chose :S
show us your options
thanks I'll try it
what's your PvP rating?
it's low 1400
if your struggling with taking to much damage its honestly probably play sorry to say stats and trinkets wont help that much
was trying to push but idk i get whiped in there
oh well then the chest probably not worth it
does anyone know what happens when you have both gladiator and apsirant versions of the pvp trinket equipped? I am talking about the one with the str proc on hit.
Defensively I'd say Denathrus' trinket is better
1m CD opens up a lot of coverage for gaps
@proven herald they are just independent
belt or trinket depending on what belt or tinrket you have
soy eah you can have a double procc @proven herald
i have 216 crit vers
alright thank you Dr
this one is hast vers 220
and your trinkets?
scale 184 ilvl and 200 ilvl anima haste proc trinket
belt then
rings 203 haste vers / 200 vers mastery
It's like 45 DPS higher but still higher 😛
Btw is the Denathrius trinket better then scale? and same question goes for general vers trinket (if swap from haste proc trink)
well ither vers mastery ring or belt, like the rings arnt good they dont have haste. the trinket is pretty good but you have good trinkets. and the belt is an ilvl upgrade with good stats its a tough choice
well yea im now sitting and idk what to chose Best 😄
Defensively yes imho
form a defensive stand point sire trinket is better and the vers trinket only gets good if more than one person in your group as it as well
Hmm, so vers trinket is then i guess more for raiding related
I would choose ring or belt tbh
Anyone
anyone
i gues dps have better things to pick in terms for trinkets
not if its stacked with other people
any cap ?
I think 5?
or no cap can get full raid with it 😄
It's 113 vers if you have everyone using it at a heroic level
Which is a lot of vers tbh
well yea
But scale / haste proc is not so bad to :/
i guess i should consider upgrading scale to denathrius and mby haste proc to generals (idk on that)
ofc it does lol it does dmg?
yer but theres like that much vers on that ring XD
in his vault as well
and he has a 200 ilvl vers mastery ring
Eternal Stats is the +30 strength
It doesn't do any damage 😛
so guys voting for a belt right ? 😄
that or the ring
sounds like a bug tbh but interesting
this power is a trap!
did you not see the reduced health bit XD
F
How is twisting corridor going for people who have done it?
RIP
i reckon its gunna be ez but long
Yeah my thoughts too but I heard some people wipe on last floor boss
But from other spec
well if they are getting to last floor boss it cant be that hard
Does Simc value mastery incredibly highly for tanks?
Yeah it's suggesting I swap out my 5% haste ring for a high vers/low mastery ring.
Which just seemed odd.
Good to know, thank you.
It's just long the first time you do it
But you only do it once, ever
Which is kinda weird
and you get all for doing 144?
i mean ill do it this weekend so i dont need to think of it again
but its m+ push week
Clear all layers once, and you got all rewards, can ignore until next patch
Hey all,
I've read the primary stat trumps secondary stats in shadowlands, but is it worth swapping 72 haste for +13 item level?
got new pants on the vault
then yes
wondering if I should pick them
nice but this also feels wrong
yer it feels wrong but so good that power
Gotcha, gotta go with legs then. Thanks!
literally was immortal on my twisting fates this morning.
100% dmg mitigation at a 90% uptime
was crazy awesome
Actually gonna be clapping this run
well if sock can do it it must be ez C:
Floor 5 already have execute power, that strength buff and the 200% increased damage on charge
Literal ez mode
how long’d that take you?
uhhh
I duoed it with a hunter
jesus christ
how big of a difference is there between ranks of legendaries?
not a big amount the extra stats are nice, but you want the leggos for the effect not the ilvl
yeah im just trying to figure out how to budget my soul ash atm
is the stat scaling linear?
well the pieces are 190 210 225 235 so...
im relatively new to retail, started playing seriously with shadowlands so I have no idea how ilvl impacts stats other than that the number goes up
20 ilvls is worth twice as much as 10 ilvls

i might be blind but we watn to craft the wall leggo in the shoulder slot right?
and thunderlords in boots
yep
yeah
vers or crit
verse i'm guessing
mastery baby
yea i'm thinking verse
i've already got a decent amount of it
so may just be worth getting more
Fuck it I'll take the 30% increase to mastery with 25% less healing
ur single target sim is 3.3k?
yes
link?
resimming will link soon
darkees sim is 3.3k at 224 ilvl
he’s using better trinkets but isn’t using itf or spear conduit
that seems kinda crazy though
fuckin beautiful
well that quick sim inst that acurate like it has windfury in there i dont have a windfury in my raid team
true but its still less that it shows
Let's see what my scuffed quick sim will end up at
With kleia and defensive trinkets
like the difference between Lightee and ours?
