Like what to kite and when, routing etc.

#

I always overstay my welcome.

digital nova
#

there's a prot called sense I watch on youtube, helped out my mitigation timings and kite timings a lot

jagged pier
#

follow Nome or sense

digital nova
#

also, for high keys, try to get in comms and work out interrupts. Even better if you can get s astatic 5-man group

#

it makes a massive difference

lusty marsh
#

Comms is no issue, I go with guildies most of the time

jagged pier
#

I would stream myself but i dont do high keys and pug most of the time XD

lusty marsh
#

I wouldn't be able to do 10s without kick rotations

#

Not that I've timed any 10s yet

#

Only 9s

#

But i havent tried extensively

digital nova
#

fort week, you could probably push 10+ now

jagged pier
#

this week is push week

digital nova
#

the affixes are chill af

jagged pier
#

pugged a 13 and 14 this week

#

was really nice and ez

digital nova
#

compared to last weeks dick in a blender affixes

lusty marsh
#

Yeah but you're the prot I aspire to be heading into mythic.

digital nova
#

no im not lmaoo

lusty marsh
#

Jakey lol

digital nova
#

Jakey is boss

jagged pier
#

dont aspire to be me far better prots than me

lusty marsh
#

You're the next step on the ladder

#

But you're a few rungs up atm

#

Aka my goal is to push 14-15 and start mythic

#

If I can get there on this tier, it'll be extra nice next major patch when gear scales better for us.

#

(At least as far as I've been told we get way better as gear increases)

digital nova
#

more haste

#

more str

lusty marsh
#

Is there any chance of us actually getting to 100% SB uptime.

strong forum
#

no

#

not unless something changes

lusty marsh
#

Heavy repercussions buff pls

#

Give us +3 seconds on slam

ionic fern
#

Too much.

#

"Shield Slam provides you 1s of SB". would already make it better.

strong forum
#

oh god yes

#

please

lusty marsh
#

Isn't that what it is?

ionic fern
#

No.

strong forum
#

no

#

it extends SB

#

but like this

ionic fern
#

You need to have SB up for it to extend.

strong forum
#

you always get SB when you press it, even if you dont have it

ionic fern
#

^

lusty marsh
#

Oooohhhh

#

Yes that pls

#

That would skew our stat prio even harder towards haste.

mighty valley
#

Think I'd still rather have bolster in most cases? Interesting though

carmine crag
#

that would def make heavy repercussions best talent

jagged pier

#

Jakey how many 15s you got done

jagged pier
#

nimble drift
#

how many 14s

jagged pier
#

i dont enjoy m+

#

#

no

#

strong forum
nimble drift
#

haha tbh I hate m+ too

jagged pier
#

Ill get them done

#

at some point

nimble drift
#

I just want the keystone master mount tbh

jagged pier
#

i still need 8 more this week

#

for vault

nimble drift
#

8 more 14s?

jagged pier
#

if i can get them

#

but probs will settle for 12 onwards for vault

nimble drift
#

Idk. I'm having a dilema. I have a friend I want to run with but its difficult just running with 1 guy and pugs. Meanwhile my guild has great groups going constantly and they're always asking me to tank

lusty marsh
#

I just want to get the best loot I can from vault

jagged pier
#

but i sort of exclusivly run Hoa or Mists XD

nimble drift
#

So I'm like, fuck do I snake my friend at the sake of my io or what

lusty marsh
#

I am no pvp god/glad

#

It's not snaking to play with multiple people

jagged pier
#

i wish my guild would invite me to keys XD i saw they were pugging a tank last night and signed up

#

but they didnt ask me

lusty marsh
#

Damn

ionic fern
#

Sounds like a solid guild.

jagged pier
#

but tbf to them they are big big pushers

lusty marsh
#

Good enough for raid, but not m+

jagged pier
#

and im not

lusty marsh
#

Ah

jagged pier
#

but it was a 14 so it was chill run anyway

lusty marsh
#

See, that's how far apart we are. 14s are chill to you.

jagged pier
#

well yer pretty chill

#

no need to stress about it

#

just chill youll play better

#

like the problem is a lot of the guild are students and play all night and in the day

lusty marsh
#

Not everything makes me stress. Just the big problem packs.

jagged pier
#

so i cant join them anyway got to work

lusty marsh
#

Like nw casters, or de other side raptor packs.

#

Or the entirety of plaguefall

#

(Okay really just the spider packs at the end)

#

Bears also stress me sometimes.

nimble drift
#

@lusty marsh raptor packs?

hallow phoenix
#

That raptor pack should be the easiest pull in the dungeon for pwar

lusty marsh
#

Bone raptors iirc or maybe it's the warriors, but they can melt you in a second if your mitigation isn't up

#

Or they have melted me, maybe I was pulling too much

ionic fern
#

Just remember

#

The Skeleton dude with the raptors

#

SR it.

lusty marsh
#

The ones at the steps of hakkar

nimble drift
#

What is the ability

#

in DoS

#

that one mob casts

#

which gives haste to the other casters

#

its in like the big caster pulls

hallow phoenix
#

There's such a thing?

lofty widget
#

the deaths embrace

nimble drift
#

Yeah

#

I was told to prio kick that

#

since thats what'll cause you to melt

lusty marsh
#

I need to delve more into the sr sheet

lofty widget
#

if you got a mage, priest, shaman, let them purge it tho

#

waste of a kick on those packs, there's so much else to kick

hallow phoenix
#

Yeah I think my spriest has just been MDing it

#

Is it aoe or targeted to one mob?

lofty widget
#

targets a random mob

hallow phoenix
#

I only pay attention to shadowcore and scribe

cinder storm
#

lofty widget
#

yeep

lusty marsh
#

Wtb boss rush dungeon without trash.

jagged pier
nimble drift
#

DoS is fun

#

I genuinely enjoy that one

jagged pier
#

same

nimble drift
#

Its like 2-3 hard packs

#

then the rest is EZ PZ

lusty marsh
#

Oh, how do you handle aggro when kiting.

nimble drift
#

Rodarn

#

Charge in

#

Tclap+Shieldblock+Reflect

jagged pier
#

use everything on pull

nimble drift
#

Revenge

lusty marsh
#

I already have a DH who likes to open with his double beam and rip aggro

jagged pier
#

put some revenges in

nimble drift
#

Spear

jagged pier
#

and run

lofty widget
#

blow your load then get away asap

nimble drift
#

run and then toss out your ravager

#

or pre-toss it

#

before charge

#

and then remember on big packs with magic damage shield wall is your friend

cinder storm
#

Challenging shout if you are going to kite or jump in if you know one dps tends to steal aggro

nimble drift
#

I always make sure to have people in group ki8ck the first few casts, then once I lose reflect, go into shield wall

uneven mason
nimble drift
#

ya ofc ofc

#

Its your only mit after shield wall and reflect

uneven mason
nimble drift
#

yall dont get it

#

you don't just "REPLACE" people in the friend group

uneven mason
#

I mean

nimble drift
#

If they're long time friends you just gotta deal with it

hallow phoenix
#

LS+Ravager with the last stand conduit is giga rage for IP spam

#

Along with ancient aftershock

uneven mason
#

Pay him $5 to re roll to hunter?

mellow patio
#

Yeah just make them reroll

lusty marsh
#

He is our token dh for raid, and the co raid leader

mellow patio
#

Imagine token dh not being vengeance

lusty marsh
#

He was going to be but a prot pally wanted to tank and they let her.

uneven mason
nimble drift
#

lol I stole the tank spot in my guild

#

from a DH

#

make them go havoc

jagged pier
#

im actually the token warrior in my raid

#

we are basically limit my guild now

strong forum

we are also limit, but extremely limited brain capacity

jagged pier

Tru

"sorry can't call anything cause i can't see through this huge boss"

jagged pier
#

dont get me wrong i used to do it years ago before this guild

strong forum
#

all you do is call out your AA notes and what BW is showing

#

the limit WAs help quite alot tho

#

gotta say

#

is ๐Ÿ‘Œ

jagged pier
#

yer thats what you do, i mean we have had some spreadsheets for nzoth etc of cds and positions and stuff

lusty marsh

Those Weak auras are king

cinder nova

Limit WAs?

strong forum
#

these 2

#

are amazing

distant crystal

your face is amazing

cinder nova
#

What's the first one?

strong forum
#

thanks!

cinder nova
#

I get the 2nd

strong forum
#

shows who has mechanics on them

#

with a glow on their border

#

with different colours meaning differen things

cinder nova
#

Does this require any specific addons or other auras?

#

or is it smart and applies it to your existing plates more or less

strong forum
#

the glow works on its own

cinder nova
#

That's rad as fuck

strong forum
#

the personal CDs needs Zentracker

cinder nova
#

Zentracker? That an addon or a UI

#

or another aura

strong forum
#

another WA

#

a huge one

cinder nova
#

What's it do?

strong forum
#

enables special interactions

cinder nova
#

so it's a backend thing

strong forum
#

with other WAs, Zentracker itself doesnt do anything

#

ye

#

Zentracker is backend

lusty marsh
#

Oh oh, what's the wa that changes dbm bars into a vertical timeline

#

I love that one too

Having Threat issues in Mythic+10s. downloaded Omen and doesnt even show up in the adds. Downloaded Basic threat bar and I can't get it to work and i've search for a setup guide but cannot find one

so turning here for help

blazing condor
#

I just came back and i still got ilvl 120 BFA gear and now i got a 161ilvl "upgrade" that gives me +40-50 secondary but i lose 15 str/stam

#

is it worth changing?

modern brook
#

idr if there was an actual cutoff where it became better

#

i did like 30 ilvls

#

so i would

blazing condor
#

i keep it all in my inv for ilvl but it feels weird

#

to lose so much main stat

#

but yeah idk the cutoff

lusty marsh
#

Do either, I wouldn't worry too much about gear, just get a bunch of heroic gear and do a world tour of m0

#

If you aremt comfortable jumping into m+

chilly brook
#

Take it all add it up

#

Or just put on the ilvl pieces because it won't actually matter

lusty marsh
#

You should be able to replace it pretty soon regardless

blazing condor
#

id hope so ๐Ÿ˜’

chilly brook
#

It really won't matter

blazing condor
#

aight thanks fellas

chilly brook
#

The 15 strength/stam wont make a difference

#

Just like tbh armor kits wont in reality but they make your health pool look nice and theres no reason not to

#

But secondary stats will actually make a difference

#

Hence why just equip the highest ilvl tbh

#

Because yes you might lose some strength/stam but you gain a ton of secindaries that you wouldn't have

#

Got Torghast: Twisting Corridor completed. Much better RNG the second time around for Layer 8.

chilly brook
#

Did you actually need good rng?

#

I've done 1-5 it's been pretty easy

uneven mason
#

Its more like you just don't want bad RNG

chilly brook
#

I had bad rng and it was still fine

#

Just a slog

#

Cuz things lived longer

west kayak
#

Yea, my first attempt at Layer 8 was 90% defensive. I could not kill the Elites fast enough before they overwhelmed me.

chilly brook
#

Cant overwhelm you if they cant do damage

#

I had 85% reduced damage from armor alone last night

west kayak
#

When they get above 15 stacks it gets bad.

#

The second time around was a breeze.

chilly brook

Spell reflect is hilarious in TC

so turning here for help

uneven mason
#

Well, if you're pumping damage and still losing aggro

#

threat meter won't help you

#

since its probably AE

#

either that or your DPS just outgears you by a ton

chilly brook
#

Have it change depending on whether you have aggro or are losing aggro

#

And do damage

lusty marsh
#

I use plater myself

chilly brook
#

It's basically the only advice

#

Threat shouldn't be an issue

uneven mason
#

using basic elvUI stuff and they change red/green depending

#

red for "lost aggro" (if prot)

#

orange for "about to change target"

chilly brook
#

Like I said threat shouldn't be an issue

last mason
#

where are u guys spearing in wake this week

chilly brook
#

Probably bosses still tbh

#

I cant think of a singular mob that I'm truly scared of in NW besides the caster before the bridge which I just skip anyways

last mason
#

none of the big necromancers?

astral crystal
#

griff upholding the gootecks legacy

chilly brook
#

It was a dumb move by twitch

#

A dumb move in a long line of dumb moves

chilly brook
#

No dont pull those

last mason
#

nah the miniboss guys

chilly brook
#

Theres only one

last mason
#

like pre bridge and pre 2nd boss

chilly brook
#

And hes before the bridge

#

The one before the 2nd boss is just a normal mob

#

ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

last mason
#

ah

#

true

#

but the pre bridge guy still not worth?

chilly brook
#

I dont pull him

#

I skip him

#

And if you are gonna pull him you use the orb

last mason
#

do you think kyrian + pride + spear is overkill for the first bboss

#

thats the only reason im asking i guess

tardy parcel

@chilly brook do you happen to have your route written out anywhere? necrotic wake is my least favorite dungeon by far

jovial sequoia
#

Any prot warriors hitting a wall at around 13-14 M+ (212 I lvl) Any advice?

astral crystal
#

not really

#

what's the wall you feel you're hitting?

jovial sequoia
#

Extreme unmitagble dammage

#

on trash

astral crystal
#

kite

#

also what do you consider unmitigatable? you can mitigate everything

#

just depends on your defensive/cd use

#

but right now you are supposed to do a fair bit of kiting depending on the trash pack

jovial sequoia
#

alright blame the healers got it

astral crystal
#

no lol

jovial sequoia
#

ok rolling Dh got it

astral crystal
#

idk if youve watched DH tanks

#

but they specialize in kiting

#

that's kind of their niche

#

anyway you need to evaluate when you have to jump out and let some CDs come up

#

and have your team lay down snares etc

#

also

rain burrow
#

The top prot warriors on raider io are 207-214 ilvl lol

astral crystal
#

your survivability is also dependent on how good your group's dps is

lusty marsh
#

Wait.... I'm a top prot war

astral crystal
#

the faster shit dies the less you die obv

wut if you run ret/feral/mw/udk

That means im top too

I've been doing those keys with little problem outside of if I screw up

tardy parcel
lusty marsh
#

That's our secret, we're always screwing up.

chilly brook
#

Its definitely an adjustment from Tyrannical

#

But you shouldn't be having issues once you adjust and if you play well

spiral wave
#

whats the dps on your runs sit at overall

tepid niche
#

you can change from Crackling thunder to Bounding stride helps a little with Fortifying

chilly brook
eternal ice
#

should I use ravager or crackling thunder

#

or whatever avatar makes thunder do more dmg

astral crystal
#

they're on different tiers

#

you ca n use both

#

can*

eternal ice
#

ok

#

ill just go w/ ravager then

chilly brook
#

Ravager good

#

UF dog shit

spiral wave
#

@chilly brook is your grps dps all like 4-5k?

chilly brook
#

Depends

astral crystal
#

your dps should be over 5k for sure

#

in higher keys

chilly brook
#

I dont really have a consistent group

astral crystal
#

your group'

#

s dps*

#

not yours

But I mean we 2 chested keys with one person below 4k

i wish we could hit 5 kmane

Someone quote the comment

chilly brook
acoustic stratus
#

the first pack is a run killer, at least with me, I cant live

chilly brook
#

Lust the trash before the ZG wing

#

First pack shouldn't be an issue

lusty marsh
#

First pack is fine.

chilly brook
#

Kick the caster

lusty marsh
#

Do not pull onto the stairs

acoustic stratus
#

Even on 12+ and over keys I feel so reliant on others or I am just dead

midnight stone
#

You're always reliant on others, thats the nature of dungeons

acoustic stratus
#

I mean over reliant

#

one miss on shadowcore and im dead

midnight stone
#

Might not be staggering CDs efficiently, or the pull is just living too long

acoustic stratus
#

its generally the latter

midnight stone
#

Is it stated that they should be saving CDs? Some people might be saving for pull 2

chilly brook
#

Like I said lust the pack before ZG wing

#

Fixes a lot of problems

acoustic stratus
#

people expect lust on hakkar in pugs

chilly brook
#

And you sit the big guy who casts shadowcore and kick it

midnight stone
#

Are you getting them prideful for hakkar?

chilly brook
#

Lust on hakkar on fort week

acoustic stratus
#

yeah

chilly brook
#

That's just weirdchamp

#

And dumb

acoustic stratus
#

call it what you want, people expect it

chilly brook
#

Hakkar isn't hard on fort

#

Who cares what they expect

midnight stone
#

Just take charge, imo

#

You're the tank

chilly brook
#

^^

acoustic stratus
#

and in ardenweild

#

stuff just goes to shit

#

people buttpulling mobs or the fucking cranes

#

getting too much

lusty marsh
#

Don't let the cranes cry.

#

I hate the cranes

acoustic stratus
#

i hate the entire area

chilly brook
#

Just stun the cry

acoustic stratus
#

and why is there so many invisible mobs, god i hate it

chilly brook
#

Ardenweald is the easiest wing

lusty marsh
#

Do you pull the dragon?

acoustic stratus
#

i find it the hardest

#

no

#

fuck that pull

lusty marsh
#

Oh good

#

You should only have to deal with the 3 invis mobs then

acoustic stratus
#

why is there like 3 pats in the middle

#

seems egregious

chilly brook
#

You pull them anyways for %

acoustic stratus
#

yeah, i just have never had a good time in DoS

chilly brook
#

I used to hate DoS

#

Now I love it

acoustic stratus
#

but ill run it for the trinket

#

if it exists

chilly brook
#

Tbh

#

DoS is way easier than PF

acoustic stratus
#

really? i prefer PF

eternal ice
#

whats PF i haven't learned abbreviaion

chilly brook
#

PF is ass

#

Plaguefall

eternal ice
#

oh yeah

#

fuck plaguefal

acoustic stratus
#

at least PF doesnt have random mobs who will attract others

eternal ice
#

it does though

#

its called your dps

acoustic stratus
#

guess so

eternal ice
#

might as well run in and challenging shout

acoustic stratus
#

the one thing about pf that i cant stop is tentacles being pulled

#

thats always shit

chilly brook
#

No it just has mobs that put 3 different classes of debuffs on you that are all uninterruptible casts

eternal ice
#

mhm

chilly brook
#

And a ton of damage that you cant mitigate

eternal ice
#

PF is hard to get % for me I dont' know that one well at all

chilly brook
#

Seems like good design

acoustic stratus
#

just be dwarf bro

chilly brook
#

Then I'd have to be alliance

eternal ice
#

im dark iron dwarf yerd

lusty marsh
#

Pf can suck it

acoustic stratus
#

vulpera seems to be the play nowadays

chilly brook
#

Being alliance is probably contributing to your shit pug experiences

eternal ice
#

furry

acoustic stratus
#

just for the intial cushion

chilly brook
#

I mean being Blood Elf is pretty pog

acoustic stratus
#

na nopse for trouble is great

eternal ice
#

allaince is better

digital nova
#

both factions are shit pug experiences lol

eternal ice
#

we dont have trolls

digital nova
#

lets be real

acoustic stratus
#

then you're playing an elf

#

kek

eternal ice
#

and we have a leader ๐Ÿ˜Ž

chilly brook
#

Lots of things you can let get cast and just purge yourself

lusty marsh
#

I'd rather a dungeon full of caster elite packs from NW

eternal ice
#

torghast is fun af as prot tho

#

infinte shield wall :

#

๐Ÿ™‚

acoustic stratus
#

define fun

#

theres nothing fun about it

eternal ice
#

100k dps

acoustic stratus
#

its just beefy

strange lintel
#

just too used to having infinite die by the sword to try anything else heh

eternal ice
#

lol yupp

lusty marsh
#

I agree torghast is novelty, but still painfully slow.

eternal ice
#

I hope they add somethign cool to torghast like agatha/xylem/kruul

#

that would be sick

lusty marsh
#

I hate the soul forges dot

acoustic stratus
#

but my least fav dungeon is spires

#

its really not fun

eternal ice
#

I like mists

lusty marsh
#

Really?

eternal ice
#

its the easiest

#

and skinning at the end

acoustic stratus
#

it requires way too many interrupts

lusty marsh
#

Spires is probably my second favorite after mists

eternal ice
#

leat fav is plaguefall fuck that bch

lusty marsh
#

It does require a lot of interrupts.

acoustic stratus
#

id rather be blood than prot in spires

#

at least i have control

lusty marsh
#

And CC on the winged sword chicks

acoustic stratus
#

i have very little control of the mobs in spire

#

and those etherwings are ass

chilly brook
#

Spires is easy af

#

Etherwings lmao

lusty marsh
#

The most troublesome pack for me in spires is the giant group of etherdivers, but that's easily solved with a mass pull and spear.

chilly brook
#

Dude stun them when they cast

#

And spell reflect

#

They kill themselves

acoustic stratus
#

i do, guess they live too long

lusty marsh
#

Are you doing the 2 pack pull with the spear?

acoustic stratus
#

not thats suicide in a pug

lusty marsh
#

Idk how well that scales with higher keys

acoustic stratus
#

i dont know how people do double pulls in spire

lusty marsh
#

I only double pull that one spot because of the spear with like a 10 second stun

chilly brook
#

Are you reflecting all the casts or just 1 or 2

#

Because they really shouldn't be living very long

#

They die super quick

lusty marsh
#

How do you reflect all the casts?

chilly brook
#

Stun

#

When they start casting

acoustic stratus
#

on fort? they're pretty beefy

chilly brook
#

So you sync up the casts

undone jacinth
#

he means shockwave

acoustic stratus
#

yea im reflecting everything possible

#

i guess i could fear them if they dont die

lusty marsh
#

Wait.... you can mass reflect as long as the casts happen at the exact same time?

undone jacinth
#

yea

lusty marsh
#

That's so broken

#

I need to test this

acoustic stratus
#

im tempted more to go NF over kyrian

#

aftershock just sounds better

chilly brook
#

No need to test

#

It works

#

Been this way forever

chilly brook
acoustic stratus
#

being brought for the buff essentially

jolly spindle
#

?

#

give me a sec im doing a maw rare

acoustic stratus
#

which is w/e, blizzard change there tune on bring the player not the class like in legion

#

now its vice versa

jolly spindle
#

they said they predicted months before prot would be trash

#

and they completly gutted it

acoustic stratus
#

the hell does trash mean, without the hyperbole

jolly spindle
#

man wtf is this

#

i get a update

#

and game crash

#

in the middle of a maw rare

acoustic stratus
#

jailer says you're out

chilly brook
#

I mean "gutted" is a weird choice

#

It's not gutted really

#

It's different

#

But not gutted

#

We go through this every new xpac

jolly spindle
#

yeah alright blizzard

#

i can't take my styngia back

undone jacinth
#

new maw mechanic

#

think Iโ€™ve only done like 4 quests there the whole expac

chilly brook
acoustic stratus
#

well max said it initially

#

maybe he changed his tune

chilly brook
#

Max has bad takes regarding tanks tbh

undone jacinth
#

if they didnโ€™t bring the buff I doubt they would have taken it

#

is just common sense

chilly brook
#

didn't echo basically run warriorless until sludge

undone jacinth
#

because they had a brew..

#

and no ww

#

they had to gear their ww late because they didnโ€™t realise it was nuts

chilly brook
#

actually looks like echo used arms

undone jacinth
#

yes because they had a brew lol

chilly brook
#

It's super moot anyways

undone jacinth
#

u canโ€™t bring a tank if itโ€™s not strong enough regardless and thatโ€™s the only thing ppl need to know

chilly brook
#

Obviously whatever "utility" a different "better" tank would have brought didn't matter enough

#

And yep

undone jacinth
#

no other tank brings as much utility

#

warrior is the best for utility

#

rally is unparalleled

#

but like bear is generally accepted as more tanky but brings almost nothing

#

so youโ€™d only take it if you absolutely needed to, which is not the case

sterile moss
#

Yeah Max said they decided on prot warrior for the rally. But be basically said prot warrior is not good compared to the other tanks lol

#

but obviously rally is part of prot warr

undone jacinth
#

I mean he doesnโ€™t even raid mythic as far as I can tell, let alone tank

#

lightees view was that Prot is better than people think

#

but the point is itโ€™s good enough for the best raid content regardless and a decent level of m+ content

open monolith
#

nothing for prot in the current class tuning ๐Ÿ™‚

#

I know it is in-progress, but I'm calling it now: no changes

undone jacinth
#

tanks need to change somehow, it just depends how they want to do it

lavish oracle
#

@sterile moss When did he say it was not good compared to other tanks?

#

Iirc, he specifically called out that he thought it was better than brew and pally as far as tanking Denathrius's damage was concerned

#

But maybe I'm confusing Max's stream with someone else's

undone jacinth
#

I think thatโ€™s a pretty objective statement

#

Prot pala feels like ur just tanking as holy paladin

#

and a brews have a pretty major bleed/dot issue

sick sentinel
#

did they remove rally from arms/fury?

undone jacinth
#

no

sick sentinel
#

so why not just bring arms for whatever arms brings

undone jacinth
#

because even on a fight perfectly designed for it arms is still not very good

#

you could have an extra range, extra ww, extra unholy etc

wicked lantern
open monolith
#

My jaw will absolutely drop if prot gets any buffs or changes at all

#

maybe another spell reflect nerf

chilly brook
undone jacinth
#

something needs to happen with tanks and if Prot doesnโ€™t get buffs VDH needs some downward tuning, which might just make everyone quit tanking altogether lol

#

and thereโ€™s probably like 1 spell in the expac that is op to reflect

robust cipher
#

I think if they increase our baseline armor aura by like 30%

#

we would be competitive

#

because we could facetank mobs and generate rage

#

which means more uptime and more dmg

#

wdyt?

wicked lantern
#

I just always think VDH tanks are so sloppy. Pulls just being dragged all over the place, mobs spread out, health spiking up and down like crazy. Idk, different boats I guess.

robust cipher
#

yep but you can put sigils and keep throwing glaives and keep kiting

#

you are like full hp all the time when kiting with VDH

#

no tank is facetanking mobs at 15+ without cd's this expansion

#

you will simply die no matter who you are

#

which is why vdh is so strong right now

#

:/

undone jacinth
#

they look sloppy but if u were watching a Prot do the same pull they would probably be dead

wicked lantern
#

So basically Leaper should be our BiS legendary?

undone jacinth
#

if u didnโ€™t need to wall every pack sure

#

idk I need to see what itโ€™s like with a 226 shield but the 30% armour thing doesnโ€™t sound like the right answer

open monolith
#

VDH isn't good because they are tanky

#

they are good because they have all the good utility and amazing damage and amazing mobility

#

and the best cheat death talent in the game

#

and arguably the best mitigation CD in the game

undone jacinth
#

yes they are the best because of everything

open monolith
#

yep LOL

undone jacinth
#

some of these changes seem so dumb

#

how does buffing 2h damage do anything to the spec if nobody is playing it dual wield anyway

open monolith
#

it's just to bring it in line with dual wield

#

so they do the same-ish damage regardless of what they equip

undone jacinth
#

just hope it isnโ€™t taking way from time actually balancing the spec itself

open monolith
#

well the 2 classes in question were monk and DK

spare cobalt
#

Arms is good for stone legion im p sure cause condemn

open monolith
#

Frost got a general buff, and the monk ones were just to balance the weapon types

undone jacinth
#

what was frosts general buff

sweet summit
#

2% damage while using 2hander

undone jacinth
#

thatโ€™s just to balance weapon type

#

what order are people doing mythic in?

sweet summit
#

we did hungering->sunking->xymox->inerva

heady plaza
#

is there a reason why blood keeps getting buffs but not prot

undone jacinth
#

you havenโ€™t done altimor @sweet summit

#

?

#

oh wait u said hungering nvm

open monolith
#

oh I thought Frost dk also got a blanket buff on top of the weapon buff, must have been thinking frost mage

undone jacinth
#

I think I would like to see target caps added to all abilities

#

or removed

#

I don't understand the point of having target caps when starfall exists how it does

open monolith
#

I agree.

#

But then marksman needs a giga-nerf

#

they are doing the insane damage they are with target caps

undone jacinth
#

well yeah they need to be deleted obviously

sick sentinel
#

low key, but timinng crap at least

undone jacinth
#

nice

undone jacinth
#

default unitframes do make me sad though

open monolith
#

i still use default unitframes ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

undone jacinth
#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

at least put the dragon texture over the face

mighty valley
#

I have almost no UI changes, I've tried but I'm an old man who can't adapt

#

just some weakauras, please

undone jacinth
#

my game looks like it was made in 2099

open monolith
#

My only "UI changing" addons are bartender, blizzmove, and move anything

#

oh and I guess MASQUE: Darkscail

undone jacinth
#

wow

#

proper 2010 gamer

open monolith
#

do you consider weak auras a "ui changing" addon?

#

because that's definitely dead center of my screen lol

undone jacinth
#

yea

#

for sure

open monolith
#

okay, then that

#

everything else is just quality of life stuff

undone jacinth
#

and details

open monolith
#

oh... yeah i use details

#

Leatrix plus

undone jacinth
#

I mean I only have omnicd elvui weakauras and details for ui

#

but that does change everything

open monolith
#

"only" elv ui

#

lol "only" a complete ui overhauling addon

undone jacinth
#

exactly

open monolith
#

I do like the look of elvui but... idk

#

it just feels wrong.

#

I'm objectively dumb for the way I feel

undone jacinth
#

I cant believe anyone doesnt use it

open monolith
#

and I am cognizant of that

undone jacinth
#

first time I installed

#

was actually what made me play the game

#

after having not played it for like 8 years

open monolith
#

i think what keeps me away from it is that I don't like anything that, if it loses support, will cripple my ability to play

#

(though if Clique ever loses support, I won't be able to heal again)

undone jacinth
#

I think it's unlikely it goes away

open monolith
#

true

undone jacinth
#

just seems like for the amount of qol it gives

#

its pointless not to

#

tempted to repeat the story instead of doing threads of fate on my alt

#

I actually like the structure

#

this expac is so insanely good

mighty valley
#

i did one alt with threads and one with story, story "felt" faster

sullen valve
#

@sweet summit @ionic fern that wowA bug you linked earlier has been identified and is being fixed. We blame @unborn coral for breaking more of my wowA stuff

mighty valley
#

probably easier to do things inefficiently when you're not being led around by the hand constantly

sweet summit
#

we love abealyzer! deswind

onyx geyser
sullen valve
mighty valley
#

@onyx geyser splintered heart is only good for pushing progress bosses where tank incoming damage is really scary and you might save some wipes. same for keys that feel scary. for everything else, the left two will do more for you

undone jacinth
sullen valve
#

@sweet summit you should see a fix in like 20-30 minutes or something

onyx geyser
#

sounds good, if im finding myself taking big damage i'll just swap them out then

#

thanks!

undone jacinth
#

@sullen valve do you plan to introduce something that factors downtime on certain fights

#

like doesnt punish downtime during certain boss spells or something

sullen valve
#

downtime should already be built into the thresholds

#

If something seems overly aggressive just let me know

#

or let mwahi know so he can tell me

undone jacinth
#

oki cool

#

also great job with the site

#

one of the best resources there is tbh

sullen valve
#

Tbh hold the praise i haven't done much for shadowlands and feel like a failure

#

well at least for prot

#

mw and holy paladin took up a lot of my time

#

and now im doing some resto druid stuffs

#

then we blast prot warrior

undone jacinth
#

it's hard to make it totally relevant for all specs, it is what it is, but fundamentally the way it's built is super impressive

sullen valve
#

Its all about mindset going it

undone jacinth
#

like the amount of situational nuance must be super hard

sullen valve
#

Like for healers we yell about not using cds even tho those are planned

sweet summit
undone jacinth
#

yeah exactly

sullen valve
#

but if you have 1 cast in like 10 minutes then clearly you're doing something wrong

sweet summit
#

also, is it possible to add something for condemn, right now i only have execute showing 0 casts :(

sullen valve
#

since for all healers your cd is the most mana efficient cast

#

I can do something for condemn

#

but avatar give 30 RAGE NOW?!?

#

FUCK

#

that changes is gonna take 3 years

sweet summit
#

:(

undone jacinth
#

I guess the dream would be to have some kind of parallel planning tool that you could then contrast with the analyzer to see how performance was in those planned windows

sullen valve
undone jacinth
#

like holding dps cds for the right windows etc

sullen valve
#

how am i going to change this 2 to a 3

#

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

sweet summit
#

uhhh

sullen valve
#

Ever so hard

#

xD

sweet summit
#

just uhh

#

+10

zealous badger
#

1+3

sweet summit
sullen valve
#

2+2 is 4 minus 1 thats 3 quick maths

sweet summit
#

can u also add something that if you cast whirlwind it yells at you to take it off your bars?

sullen valve
#

gonna need mwahi to check off on that one

#

as in

#

IS THERE EVER a time where its a good prot spell

#

or is it always trash

sweet summit
#

always trash

sullen valve
#

since if its always trash ez pz

#

but if there are every any rules like if there are 20 mobs

sweet summit
#

its hardcapped at 5

#

revenge is not capped, and applies DW and does more damage

sullen valve
#

so literally its just trash

#

ez pz to do

sweet summit
#

yep

sullen valve
#

I asked mwahi for a list of stuff that needs updating during beta and right after release and he sent me

#

well what he wants/needs updating

#

He never finished it pepsihands

#

also

#

Erga what do you mean condemn vs execute

sweet summit
#

i am venthyr

sullen valve
#

oh like here?

sweet summit
#

i press condemn a lot

#

yeah

sullen valve
#

oh that is stupid easy

#

i'll do it right now

sweet summit
#

โค๏ธ

sullen valve
#

i might even make you an info graphic for damage it prevented

sweet summit
#

was just about to ask for that

sullen valve
#

depends on how that event is translated over in logs

#

if its easy then woot

#

if not i cri

#

also wtf kind of ship is mwahi running here?

#

Tanks doing dps should be banned

#

All healers, like me, know that tanks should just focus on taking 0 damage

#

: ^)

sweet summit
#

if you say that youll get publicly executed here

sullen valve
#

also link me a log plz

#

(of condemn)

sullen valve
#

condemn no cd right

sweet summit
#

correct

sullen valve
#

1500 millisecond gcd right

#

hasted of course

restive flax
#

it has cd for fury though... no?

sweet summit
#

yep

#

yep

sullen valve
#

so this seem right

#

(i know there is some wowA isms in here but you get the vibes i think)

sweet summit
#

as long as the boss is >80% or <20% and you have more than 20 rage you can cast condemn

astral crystal
#

210 death god ring finally dropped

#

feels good man

sweet summit
#

large mate, large

sullen valve
#

so wait

#

mwahi can never cast this spell : ^)

#

Since he is a pet battle master

sweet summit
#

unless he wants to change covenant, no

sullen valve
#

: ^)

#

no mobs

sweet summit
#

feel like im missing some hidden lore here

sullen valve
#

no lore

#

I just randomly make fun of mwahi for things that re not real

sweet summit
#

fair

sullen valve
#

also

#

arcane torrent still a bad cast right

#

or do you guys have deadtime in rotation now where it is a good cast

sweet summit
#

no

#

downtime

#

with devastator

#

and it generates 15 rage

#

so its nice

sullen valve
#

no downtime or there is downtime

sweet summit
#

there is downtime with devastator

chilly brook
#

There is

sullen valve
#

okay

#

removed the remove arcane torrent thing from bfa

#

fyi from your log

chilly brook
#

What a slacker not pressing thunderclap

sullen valve
#

I'll press thunder clap on you

chilly brook
#

And only 75% shield slam daaaammmnnnn

sweet summit

im bad what can i say :)

chilly brook

Still parse higher than me

at least you're not a furry

#

Where did this picture come from? How do you find that info?

chilly brook
#

Wow analyzer

sullen valve
#

Well yes and no to griff

#

I'm on wowA but a local build of it

#

that will go live in like 30-40 minutes

#

or something

#

depends if i want to do more stuff right now

chilly brook
#

You can still get the information from wow analyzer though if you drop your logs in

#

Just gonna look different rn

sullen valve
#

literally am the only one in the world with that specific thing on wowA

silver grail
#

Hey Im new to WOW as a brand new player and I chose to do Prot Warrior. Are there links in the channel for players learning tank. I have always played healer and that was in FF14. So any advice or links for help would be appreciated

sullen valve
#

GOd

#

mwahi needs to let me use custom emotes in here

#

ffs

sweet summit
#

i agree

silver grail
#

thank you

sullen valve
#

^

#

wowA also can be helpful if you're raiding but i bet mwahi put that in there

chilly brook
#

We like the only class discord that doesnt allow outside emotes

silver grail
#

ok lol thank you for the information.

restive flax
#

have you been to earth shrine Griff?

#

that place is pretty horrible

chilly brook
#

No

#

I don't shaman

sullen valve
#

stocks are looking up on codemn graphic

chilly brook

If it don't tank I don't want it

I say as I gear my lock

I did tank with shaman in wotlk^^

undone jacinth

got declined from a 7 mists bois

I bet I'd get declined from a 7 mists too even at 213 and 1k io

undone jacinth
#

im literally 205 and 1k rio

#

its my alt lol

#

as in, my alt has that

#

score

#

and they still declined me

sullen valve
#

Fun fact

#

very fun fact

undone jacinth
#

the leader had 400

sullen valve
#

condemn's debuff isn't named condemn

undone jacinth
#

ppl are crazy

sullen valve
#

its condemned

undone jacinth
#

get condemned

sweet summit
chilly brook
#

Inb4 the ongoing tuning gives condemn a cleave for prot

#

๐Ÿ“ˆ

#

I'd swap covenants so fast

#

It's a shame they'll likely never actually do it

restive flax
#

tbh Id want Necrolords to get some love

#

I dont wanna be a blue smurf :/

chilly brook
#

That ability is basically guaranteed a rework in 9.1

#

It's not taken for any of our specs period

restive flax
#

yeah

sullen valve
#

hey erga

#

can you condemn something then ss the debuff the target has (like the tooltip)

#

i want to know if it shows number or naw

pale lotus
#

who do you guys kill first on first boss of top?

chilly brook
#

Probably not the place to discuss

sweet summit
#

yeah sec

restive flax
spare cobalt
pale lotus
#

is there a particular reason for that?

spare cobalt
#

Pull the big rider in then kill that then dessia

#

Tank dam

sweet summit
#

it does show the amount of the absorb iirc

#

double checking tho

restive flax
#

uh..... on +10 and higher I skip the rider to trigger prideful before endboss

sweet summit
spare cobalt
#

You can skip the first pack and still do that, itโ€™s free cleave and easier than fighting it with the 3 pack @restive flax

#

Imo

sullen valve
#

๐Ÿค”

#

let me look into other events to see if i can find anything

#

since the debuff event itself doesn't have it

restive flax
#

@spare cobalt youre missing % for prideful timings on other bosses if you do that

#

Or... I dont know a route that allows you to properly do that

spare cobalt
#

Uhhh on fort Ive been doing that then going gorechop (skip big pat) -> portal room and always go left -> mini boss room

#

Then you get pride for the hard packs

restive flax
#

where do you get your % from?

#

do you do multiple stacks on the platforms?

spare cobalt
#

Nah just center

#

It adds up trust

pale lotus
#

i usually get prideful for xav -> kultharok -> prideful for gorechop

restive flax
#

I have prideful for all bosses but kultharok.... I think? hold on.

sullen valve
#

Tell me if im wrong but this does say
the hit was for 46928
you mitigated 35569 of it
you were hit for 11359

#

or is the A absorbed

#

A is 100% absorbed

#

@sweet summit sorry for ping number six million but i don't think condemn gets an infographic just yet or ever maybe

sweet summit
#

U is unmitigated
M is mitigated
A is absorbed
B is blocked?

sullen valve
#

well actually

sweet summit
#

im not sure

sullen valve
#

B is blocked i know that one

#

but

#

I'm thinking and now im like ๐Ÿง  we might have a way to roughly approximate the condemn absorb value to a degree

#

monkas its deswind

potent anvil
#

Pretty sure that's right. U is unmitigated, afaik? Used to be R for raw/real right?

sullen valve
#

Pretty sure your right there

#

umm... imma avoid doing condemn defensive value for now but i don't think there is an easy way to determine it

#

in logs

potent anvil
#

I think condemn's absorb is slightly lower than IP. It also stacks up to 3 times?

sullen valve
#

Due to the fact that i don't get any info about it from the debuff event itself
i could do math to get it from the condemn itself but that could be inaccurate if the vers amount we have is wrong and also has issues with did you actually use it or not

#

since it has a debuff duration

#

Which the last one sounds weird but like it involves more indepth knowledge on caps n stuff

sweet summit
#

just math it out from the abount of AP and vers and casts of condemn and damage taken peepostudy

sullen valve
#

since AP and vers can shift in a fight does that mean the cap shifts

#

I can't really use damage absorbed tbh

#

since right when you get another shield :worry:

#

which one do you use first

#

What if you don't have boss aggro?

potent anvil
#

Man, this is a lot to peepostudy

sullen valve
#

Depending on damage source it could go to waste

potent anvil
#

good luck

sullen valve
#

since AP is 100% accurate very time you cast condemn

#

vers should be accurate

#

but then we fall into the issue of it getting consumed

#

and on top of that caps to it

#

is there cap? What is it based off of?

#

If i orc racial does the cap go up?

potent anvil
#

All I know is condemn absorb stacks 3 times.

#

I hit condemn for dps deswind

sullen valve
#

I'mma just avoid this till i bitch enough to get it somewhere in logs
