hey, for offtanking as prot what legendary should I get?

mighty valley
#

what does offtanking mean in this case?

viral vector
#

off spec tanking when a tank needs to leave the raid early I usually tank

mighty valley
#

I think if you try and find a legendary that's OK at both DPS and tanking you'll just end up nerfing both

viral vector
#

I already have my dps one

mighty valley
#

Just have your main DPS legendary and then swap to The Wall when it's time to tank

viral vector
#

the wall, ok that's what I was asking for XD

mighty valley
#

yeah, sorry, didn't know if you meant offtank as in 2nd tank

#

which is really just Other Main Tank in most cases

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?

steel mauve
#

kill some thing and victory rush off it, use indom talent and spend rage

light kite
#

oof

steel mauve
#

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

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

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

chilly brook
#

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?

chilly brook
#

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?

waxen cradle
#

depends on what your doing content wise I usually carry several of them and swing around chants, but for M+ I like Lightless Force

sick sentinel
#

i was using the one that they take 6% more damage from you for a bit

waxen cradle
#

Well even being a Warrior and the tank that everyone almost automatically expects to fail in M+ I always run Lightless Force in M+

fossil summit
#

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

waxen cradle
#

The meme boy streamers and there meta cough (bullshit) did there job well to convince everyone were vasstly inferior to other tanks in M+

torpid granite
#

im so torn on what tank to main haha

waxen cradle
#

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

tired sun
#

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+?

fossil summit
#

wait so even if its an AoE Cone it counts as a melee attack?

vocal bison
#

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

waxen cradle
#

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

@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

cinder pasture
#

There's a screenshot in case you don't wanna scroll down/search 😛

waxen cradle
#

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?

undone jacinth

it doesn’t do that much dmg

valid wind
#

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

fossil summit
#

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

ocean bloom
#

what food is better defensivly haste or feasts?

low kindle
undone jacinth
#

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

valid wind
#

that makes sense. I appreciate the input. Unfortunately pretty much just do M+ as a tank so ill do hands

undone jacinth
#

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

#

@undone jacinth would you upgrade 207 gloves to 220 or 197 trink to 220 badge

#

id buy conq gloves and upgrade them

undone jacinth
#

which one is the badge

#

haste and main stat proc?

last mason
#

yes

undone jacinth
#

personally that’s the trinket I want so I’d do that because gloves are low value anyway

last mason
#

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

undone jacinth
#

there aren’t that many good gloves tbh but having good gloves is less value than trinket

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

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!

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.

chilly brook
#

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

waxen cradle
#

Griff is that Belf you ?

chilly brook
#

Wat

#

The character sheet?

#

Yes

#

I can't seem to not play blood elf

waxen cradle
#

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

chilly brook
#

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

waxen cradle
#

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

chilly brook
#

@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

waxen cradle
#

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.

ionic pewter
#

Still new myself but I am definitely hitting IP way too much and its gimping my dps and shield block uptime. Working on it.

chilly brook
#

Wdym took the proc away?

#

You mean the limitation?

waxen cradle
#

Yeah the cap

chilly brook
#

Gotcha

waxen cradle
#

So it could proc indefinitely. It would not be game breaking as its not a insane distance or anything.

chilly brook
waxen cradle
#

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

chilly brook
#

Swimming in rage isn't an issue as you go up in difficulty

waxen cradle
#

True

chilly brook
#

IP goes away fast

#

And it's off the GCD

sage cairn
#

pvp in prot is awesome btw

chilly brook
#

The only time I have too much rage is the end of a Twisting Corridors run

acoustic stratus
#

what? IP and shield block are horrible in pvp

chilly brook
#

90% increased rage gen

humble grove
chilly brook
#

I'd drop that

#

Rotation addons are kinda bleh for a tank

waxen cradle
#

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.

humble grove
#

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

chilly brook
#

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

waxen cradle
#

Do you run DRoar over BVoice in M+ Griff ?

chilly brook
#

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

waxen cradle
#

My bad you were talking about 2 tanks playing together I should learn to scroll up and notice the subject of the conversation

#

Ye

waxen cradle
#

chilly brook
#

Council of blood onwards I play more defensive though

waxen cradle
#

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

chilly brook
#

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

waxen cradle
#

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

chilly brook
#

I dont run bolster until Sludge

waxen cradle
#

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

chilly brook
#

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

waxen cradle
#

yep

#

However true ticking bleed damage is tracked as magic right ?

sweet summit
#

No?

waxen cradle
#

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

chilly brook
#

Dwarf still removes more than the pot

#

They just whitelisted some and blacklisted others

waxen cradle
#

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

ocean yoke
#

what are some of the ones dwarf handles that phial doesnt? just curious

chilly brook
#

Holy shit

#

Ended that key at 3.8k

#

👀

waxen cradle
#

Or maybe they did not change things so much as now maybe things are just simply well defined as bleeds or not

mellow patio
#

Most bleeds in the raid can be cleansed

waxen cradle
#

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

chilly brook
#

It could be entirely wrong

ocean yoke
#

i only know which ones phial definitely does, not a dwarf myself

Does Pawn work for prot warriors? Or does it purely look for the best stats for DPS? Talking about simmed stat weights.

sweet summit
wicked lantern
sweet summit
#

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

#

#

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

inland silo
#

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

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

cinder nova

Show them +15 SR damage on Mordretha

#

Also, that ^

#

Tho i guess it is not as easy as a tank if you are raid tanking.

cinder nova
#

Guilds that drop prot warriors are more or less smoothbrain Cro-Magnons because they only know how to ape streamer meta.

grand drum
#

I like the people, but they are misinformed a bit 😅

ionic fern
#

A lot of people are.

#

The number of "Wow...i thought Protection Warriors were bad" i get at the end of dungeons is stupid.

cinder nova
#

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.

ionic fern
#

I mean - they might not be stupid but they are playing a whole different game.

jagged pier
#

just link them nerfed

ionic fern
#

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.

cinder nova
#

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.

ionic fern
#

Sure, those things also happen. 🤷

cinder nova
#

I think it's a lot more feelycraft than people think.

ionic fern

People also thought that leech was the way to go at some point so...

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 ?

jagged pier
#

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?

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.

chilly brook
#

It was a single target sim

#

45 dps higher

undone jacinth
#

sounds like a bug tbh but interesting

steady fiber
#

i guess il take the belt bcs got only 15% haste

#

vers 11% mastery 28% atm

chilly brook
#

Well I mean it's 45 DPS out of a 3,300dps sim

#

It's pretty negligible

Sounds like a good power

Yeah my thoughts too but I heard some people wipe on last floor boss

#

But from other spec

jagged pier
#

well if they are getting to last floor boss it cant be that hard

meager wigeon
#

Does Simc value mastery incredibly highly for tanks?

jagged pier
#

it sims for dps it our highest dps stat

#

if you want defence just go haste

meager wigeon
#

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.

chilly brook
#

TC isn't bad at all

#

been easy so far

strong forum
#

It's just long the first time you do it

#

But you only do it once, ever

#

Which is kinda weird

chilly brook
#

I'm happy with it

#

But it needs more

#

As in more rewards

jagged pier
#

I thought tansmog came from it?

#

as well as the mount

chilly brook
#

There's a toy for a set of armor, a pet and a mount

#

Oh and a title

jagged pier
#

and you get all for doing 144?

strong forum
#

Ye

#

It's a 1 time thing really

jagged pier
#

#

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?

jagged pier
#

yes

#

well depends

#

if its a neck or ring

#

no

#

but it if armour yes

torn echo
#

got new pants on the vault

jagged pier
#

then yes

torn echo
#

wondering if I should pick them

jagged pier
#

if its legs

#

also depends what else you have and got in the vault

#

yer it feels wrong but so good that power

#

Gotcha, gotta go with legs then. Thanks!

It happened so fast it's literally not in my details

wheat sleet
#

how big of a difference is there between ranks of legendaries?

jagged pier
#

not a big amount the extra stats are nice, but you want the leggos for the effect not the ilvl

wheat sleet
#

yeah im just trying to figure out how to budget my soul ash atm

#

is the stat scaling linear?

undone jacinth
#

well the pieces are 190 210 225 235 so...

wheat sleet
#

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

undone jacinth
#

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

jagged pier
#

yep

wild violet
#

as this is my first leggo, what stats are we going for?

#

haste and x?

undone jacinth
#

yeah

jagged pier
#

vers or crit

wild violet
#

verse i'm guessing

undone jacinth
#

mastery baby

jagged pier
#

crit only really gets value in m+

#

vers is better overall

wild violet
#

yea i'm thinking verse

#

i've already got a decent amount of it

#

so may just be worth getting more

chilly brook
#

Fuck it I'll take the 30% increase to mastery with 25% less healing

chilly brook
#

yes

undone jacinth
#

#

chilly brook

#

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

chilly brook
jagged pier
#

well that quick sim inst that acurate like it has windfury in there i dont have a windfury in my raid team

chilly brook
#

windfury is like 150-200dps

#

for us

#

From last I simmed

jagged pier
#

true but its still less that it shows

undone jacinth
#

can u try one without itf

#

the difference seems bizarre

jagged pier
#

only 50 dps for me

#

well 49

#

UF is a 200 dps decrease

strong forum
#

Let's see what my scuffed quick sim will end up at

#

With kleia and defensive trinkets

chilly brook
undone jacinth
#

yeah

#

it’s UF mostly I think
