ugh, it's over a week ago so I can't find the stored sim, but you press it if you're otherwise going to cap

chilly brook
#

Did like all of nax or something on bear

mighty valley
#

yes, it was possible, but with the 2006 level of play, you were doing yourself a disservice by not having a warrior mt

#

still are tbh

chilly brook
#

Eh

#

Its classic it's a joke

#

Comparatively anyways

mighty valley
#

how old were you when vanilla was current?

chilly brook
#

You could realistically fill the raids with all non optimal classes rn and be fine

#

That was what 04?

#

8ish

outer solstice
mighty valley
#

we had another vanilla bear tank who made it a personal mission to tank all of ZG. he also sucked at the game in general and was a huge asshole

#

almost everyone from the group he dragged through quit the guild, it was so exhausting being around this person

#

anyway vanilla at the time for most guilds was about scraping together enough players who understood the game to carry the other 60+% of the raid who were just making it up as they went along lol

#

"why are you wearing this arcane resist green"

#

"i dunno it might come up"

#

Quick question- If you are at 90 rage with no SB available, and you get a SS proc, do you use it right away? Or do you revenge?

strong forum
#

i would IP and SS

#

or revenge - ss

#

also works

chilly brook
#

^

strong forum
#

tbh

uncut finch
#

Well of IP is up too

strong forum
#

both is perfectly fine

mighty valley
#

IP probably isn't capped

uncut finch
#

What Im trying to ask.. is it more important not to rage cap? Or use bigger damage? Which in this case is SS

outer solstice
#

if you play AM

#

it's 100% better to not cap

uncut finch
#

I do play AM

outer solstice
#

even if you pump it into a useless IP

uncut finch
#

Cool

#

Even if I alreay have IP up

outer solstice
#

yes

uncut finch
#

Go for another one

outer solstice

even if it's capped

Thx

Any NF prot warriors got any solid use out of Korayn's standing still trait?

outer solstice
#

nah

#

Niya > all

#

Niya too stronk

tulip oar
#

Yeah, kinda figured.

outer solstice
#

I mean you have to be standign still quite a long time

tulip oar
#

Yeah, which at 15+ is not happening

outer solstice
#

on some bosses maybe

#

but it's so annoying to play

tulip oar
#

Thanks for the feedback

uneven mason
#

I can't think of any situation where I'd want to self root

#

for a benefit

mighty valley
#

Dunno if the NF one is the same, but the Venthyr one sticks around for 6 seconds, so in most raid fights it can have decent uptime

#

it's just stam and healing done, so it still kind of sucks, but...

uneven mason
#

"Checks his warrior healing abilities"

#

actually I might try out that 15% physical DR

#

it'd be annoying to play around

#

but its 15%

#

Not like burrrrrz is doing anything for me.

#

thinking of bleeds in some fights, since thats physical damage.

wanton condor
#

btw, is there a default profile for APL work? Was just trying to recreate my old on on my character (go a bit over a 100dps out of it through some conditionals for pure dps) but I don't want to make any more claims without comparing against the dummy

#

also getting some really weird results on it regardless in terms of action priority

Best race for warrior?

sweet summit
#

the one you think looks the coolest peepoHappy

#

the "good racials" are:
dwarf
belf
vulpera?
panda?

race will most likely not make any difference, most of us just go for looks

uneven mason
#

Best racial is FemOrc animations

steel mist
#

guys

#

animafield emitter or pulsating stoneheart as trinket

#

both are same ilvl

sweet summit
#

they serve different purposes

steel mist
#

i got the trinket from hungering

sweet summit
#

well, vendor pulsating stoneheart to begin with

#

and use anima field emitter

steel mist
#

thnk you

uneven mason

imagine having enough trinkets that you have a choice

just get them 4head

40/60 stats from food is really good and you also get an incap that you can use to stop casts

Super useful

kul tiran has BIS cool looking jacket

so big haste buff if you're NF

sweet summit

its nice, but like any other passive racial you dont notice it

chilly brook

Plus

sweet summit

im not a big fan of their active racial due to the cast time

@chilly brook you got me beat. I have 0 videos, ..... because i suck lol

uneven mason
#

I mean, its far more valuable to learn to read your own logs

chilly brook
#

Its still up to date

sweet summit
#

you can always post logs here and people more often than not take a look if they have time to do so

undone lagoon
#

@sweet summit NOW thats GREAT NEWS!!!!! Its has usually worked well for me on DPS, is it still constructive direction for tank specifics?

uneven mason
#

ehh

#

It's good for general mechanics

sweet summit
#

it yells at you if youre not using SB and/or cooldowns ๐Ÿ˜„

uneven mason
#

yeah like "You had shield wall off CD for 70% of the fight, get out of here you damn brewmaster, L2BUTTON!"

sweet summit
#

i personally havent used it, like ever. since it wasnt supported for warrior when i started playing

sick sentinel
#

Hey folks -- I was buying gear for my alt prot warrior & accidentally nabbed a dagger and equipped it without realizing. Do i need to replace this or is it okay for 180ish?

uneven mason
#

When you die as prot, after a bit, you can almost always identify without really looking at logs why you died

steel mist

how often do i need to shieldwall like i hold it on when shits hit the fan

"Oops turned my back to Sire Dentapdancerinmyasss"

sweet summit

#

@sweet summit @chilly brook I am familiar with reading my DPS logs and how to compare them against higher posts to find ways to improve. How do you, or is it similar for tank to compare.

sick sentinel
#

thanks erga

uneven mason
#

and then check what CDs/abilities you could have used to smooth that out.

sweet summit
#

looking at rage (overcapping or not) casts of rotational abilities, blocked hits, cooldown usage etc

uneven mason
#

yeah rage budgeting is a skill.

#

Prot is very good at smoothing damage in general, and occasionally just reducing it to nearly zero

limpid river
#

I was talking with another tank (who raids Mythic CN) and he was telling me that Punish is something to use as a talent during raids, especially during Heroic Sire (which Iโ€™m currently stuck on with around 205 pulls). Is Punish a good talent to use? I can see it being viable due to some damage reduction.

sweet summit
#

i firmly believe devastator is better on every raid boss this tier

chilly brook
#

Like so

uneven mason
#

You're really sacrificing a lot of RPS I think with not having devastator

chilly brook
#

Checking whether you mitigated or had a CD per each major boss hit is also a good place to start

Always pump

Always

uneven mason
#

Woo, what they're trying to say, is keeping you alive is the healers job, just keep SB up (because its a DPS gain)
and press revenge a lot

chilly brook
#

Do what you need to stay alive

uneven mason
#

also, The Wall is a DPS gain, and SW costs nothing

chilly brook

But most importantly

PUMP

OOOOH, good question I am using the Anger Management talent w/Stalwart Guardian Conduit and the wall lego

slap SW as often as you can as long as you don't need it for a mechanic

undone lagoon

my goal is to reduce the CD

uneven mason

and

save SW for 20% if you're close

undone lagoon

is that worse than the bolster

uneven mason

so you can hammer on Execute

sweet summit

its fine, but bolster is still better in m+

I have more experience on other tanks which probably contributes

#

but still its really noticeable

undone lagoon
#

I see on logs its almost a 50/50 between into the fray v unstoppable force, i am assuming that since i want my WALL lego, maybe go w/fray for more haste to lower the CD inherrently and more SS to lower CD?

wild chasm
# outer solstice they blow their chains off or do weird stuff?

All of the above. We've got some "control freak" officers and they're trying to have the melee and ranged all stack on one officer respectively to follow around, but yeah... just not working. That and sometimes the RNG of those falling rock floor AOEs are just killer

outer solstice
#

we actually do that in range

#

but our officer calls where tthey move in advance

#

so everyone can mentally prepare

#

and doesn't ahve to wait

wild chasm
#

I don't think stacking is inherently bad, it's when the FORCE it or yell at people

outer solstice
#

but for melee,... it doesn't work

mossy peak
#

totally works even for melee

outer solstice
#

the problem happens when calls are done too late

mossy peak
#

you just dont really need the calls as often

chilly brook
#

It works for melee

#

But you dont need it

outer solstice
#

yeah but the 2 melee pairs,... they can just arrange themselves

wild chasm
#

After pillar 2 it's like my raid turns into headless chickens...

mossy peak
#

it sounds like they need it, and can't just arrange themselves

#

everyone should be stacked on one marked melee, and one marked range

#

and just move with them

#

easiest, brain-off

chilly brook
#

I mean

#

Its brain off for melee period

#

It's not necessary for melee

outer solstice
#

yeah and if you then tell them where to move next it get's a lot easier

mossy peak
#

it sounds like it is necessary here

#

two marked stack players is the safest securest way to do it

wild chasm
#

I agree, but the marked players can't run crazy zig-zags...

mossy peak
#

mark better players

outer solstice
#

or move late

chilly brook
#

Eh I've felt safer when me and my partner just go where we want as melee lmao

wild chasm
mossy peak

i just did

Its like mythic shriekwing

Just open your eyes

#

And turn on your monitor

outer solstice
#

yeah mythic shriek it's nice to be somewhere around the mark but not strictly neccesary

#

if you can move and ahve eyes

Man I need to bribe healers to save their externals for 20% so I can pure execute greed :(

i mean exeternals are under used tool most tanks dont us

@wild chasm yeah that's pretty nasty

jagged pier

should get your healers used to give them to u

outer solstice
#

@jagged pier externals are amazing ! whenever we have a trial heal I'll jsut call his external early in the fight to see if he has it keybound xD

Yeah but we have dps that get saved by them and can't really just replace them cause morning guild

Oh I know when they are up they just usually get blown on non tanks

hjad that convo on sludge progression (hc)

when we got to enrage i was like i need them for then

but u dont ask

chilly brook
#

I'll ask for it when I need it

jagged pier
#

^^

#

this

outer solstice
#

well, many tanks call for them 10 seconds after they need them

#

and not 5 seconds before

chilly brook
#

Also HATE when they pop it as I'm going to pop my wall or something

wet compass
#

I mean bigger brain solution is probably going to be have dh solo tank as much as possible at 20% since I trust him to call when he needs a taunt if his cheat death somehow procs

outer solstice
#

I played heal for a logn time in myhtic raids...

chilly brook
#

It's like I will communicate when I need it

outer solstice
#

often I just use it to not worry

But I'm gonna use my tools before yours

I can probably beat half our dps during execute burn sadly so it's definitely worth if we can get away with it

ocean bloom

oh well, I just use em, as if they were my tools @chilly brook so they can't blow em

chilly brook

I use wall

outer solstice

oh M+ ...

chilly brook
#

In raids it's the same deal

jagged pier
#

on progression always bolster tbh

chilly brook

I'll wall usually and then if I need I'll call for bark or something

chilly brook
wet compass

Tbh I hate M+ this season just not fun only reason I'm still doing stuff is raids

outer solstice
#

I usually open with wall and then pop all DPS CDs with pot and everything and ask for a bark

pop 1st wall on first bleed, then you have it for 1st and 4th rip soul

And Sun King

wet compass
#

On sludge has anyone tried running heavy to just max shield block uptime seems like you could have crazy uptime with the pillar downtime to regen block

outer solstice
#

why AM for hungering?

wild chasm
#

What's your guys' average % damage mitigated in CN? I'm sitting right around 60%, don't know where that stacks up.

chilly brook
#

Because you dont need the extra block

#

You swap often enough

wet compass
#

Short tanking bursts plenty of time to regen

outer solstice
#

oh well yeah

chilly brook
#

And the extra CDR on Wall is goat for expunge

outer solstice
#

@wild chasm pick a fight and I can check, I play very offensively and still get > 70%

strong forum
#

on blockable stuff atleast

chilly brook
#

Probably coulda been higher

@wild chasm

wet compass
#

Having to save wall for every expunge because dps hates running out is annoying though :P

wild chasm
#

Yeah, I'm getting the feeling my rotation is a bit off.

strong forum
#

but thats shriek

strong forum
#

:^))

wet compass
#

I use that to eat the orb after

chilly brook
#

If you got overlapping circles you pop it for that

#

Orb isn't as bad

wild chasm
#

Reflect on CD basically? I've been working on getting better at it. So many things to rotate in...

wet compass
#

I have wall for everytime I'm actively tanking so it's not deadly just annoying

chilly brook
#

It's more nuanced though too

#

Because reflect has some interesting interactions with some bosses

wild chasm
#

Right, I know my statement was broad brushing it

chilly brook
#

But yes if you're taking magic damage no reason to not hit it

wild chasm
#

Just figured out it eats that frost wolf in mythic Mists....

outer solstice
#

if you're at 60% it might have a few different reasons, either you're greedy like me and use no IP to spam more revenge, or you don't use your CDs or use shield block when bosses are not attacking you

wet compass
#

Part of the reason we have issues is lack of personal responsibility which means when we hit a fight that requires it and tanks can't carry it's a probelm so a massive chunk of this tier :(

chilly brook
#

You can ignore having to jump up on dealer in DoS

chilly brook
wet compass
#

Oh I super fucking greed revs only up when actively tanking

wild chasm
outer solstice
#

btw they fixed shriek finally

wet compass
#

Not really many options work shift sucks and co tank is a bro who I've played with for years if he gets a new shift though at some point who knows

outer solstice
#

he now bites the active tank and not the highest aggro tank

wet compass
#

Could maybe look at oceanic but ping is ughhh

nimble drift
#

So I saw the vid on tanks from the limit dude

#

and he said we goin necro

#

should we swap now or what

wet compass
#

Only world first

outer solstice
#

wait for potential changes

#

don't go now

#

and even then,... no need

wet compass
#

Unless you want to pump someone elses damage you should be fine to stay spear

outer solstice

it needs quite some coordination

wild chasm

I like my SOB too much to switch...

wet compass

Yup will require significant coordination to maximize

And then condemn again if they somehow aren't dead

chilly brook

or you just eat a disarm shrug

Plus they will pop defensives when you early storm for rage

Both of our tanks tend to beat at least one dps per kill which given how bad warrior dps is ....

oh when I die it's with IP up...

You having a high healing parse means you're actually fucking up or getting fucked up

outer solstice

like when heals run to africa

oh well as IP is an absorb,... it doesn't work that way for us

Like I could just not block, spam all rage into IP and use last stand when I'm low on HP and have a huge healing parse

But I'm also inting and taking more damage

yeah SB is the base

but let's theorize on how to pink parse heal logs

Yeah but see you have 60 revenge and that rage could have been spent on IP making the job of the resto shaman easier somehow

outer solstice

what trinkets? spike?

chilly brook

It's a useless metric for us

I mean the way you parse heals Is really simple never block drop as much vers and mast as you can stack haste and use every drop of rage on ip

Just seems like this conversation has gone around full circle like 10 times.. TLDR of warrior is if youre getting near rage cap and your IP is fine, then hit revenge. Unless youre way overgearing content and dont need to think about defense at all you should try and keep IP up as much as possible when tanking

I'll never be a big pumper like Nom

when I don't tank I don't use em

when the boss is about to cast a long ass spell I don't use it

I burst before then as well but I save major defensives where I can for 20% so I can spend rage on execute

That pack with the Villager is probably the hardest in the whole dungeon, esp if you do it with the five Spiteclaws; But DPS will have CDs, so kill that and it's smooth sailing
