Yes i got it a few weeks ago via fault

strong forum
#

It's the most important slot

#

Don't look at it like as a 3ilvl upgrade, but only 3 ilvl away from not needing a better shield unless you can kill SLG mythic or reach 2.4k in arena

visual drift
#

hm true but 20 ilv on wrist are much stats too

snow tusk
#

for someone new to tanking: why is the shield the most important slot?

visual drift
#

it have armor and block, but block is the most importan stat here

ebon hound
#

It has the 'Block' stat on it, which determines the amount of damage you reduce hits by when blocked. Blocking hits is your primary form of mitigating incoming damage.

snow tusk
#

thanks

smoky wave

Heh, had another look, according to rio no one has tined 15s across the board as prot yet on my realm. Someone's 1 hoa off. Sitting on 11-13s myself with one 14. Might give it a punt this week

visual drift
#

So i go for shield hmm

wet compass
#

Why time as prot when you can play fury and have a dh tank for magic dmg debuff :P

smoky wave
#

This is the internal battle I have with myself every time I fail to time a key

snow tusk
#

well, pugs don't take a fury or prot, so why not get declined in your favorite spec?

jagged pier
#

eh? furys the better spec in pve now

#

its scales like crazy with prideful

#

and tank are always in demand i never have an issue

ebon hound
#

peepostudy pretty sure +30% is +30% on every spec

sweet summit
#

True true

snow tusk
#

but +30 on MeTa class is more +30 according to pugs

#

idk, pugging sucks

#

people watching MDI and thinking they need exaclty those classes and only those

#

failing to see they are still doing +14 and being miles away from even being in the same key as MDI

It's also better if your healers don't like to let you sit low can vary wildly if your healers prefer triaging to the max

hey guys just got lucky with a scale in the vault, what should i use in the other slot? i got a vintage and a spike

remote dawn
#

Hymnal in a m+ what DMG does it in %

strong forum
#

% are relative.....

#

Get that into your heads people

#

What matters is dps

#

Not %

#

My 164 hymnal did ~100 dps on average

#

So a 194 hymnal should do 120-150 dps, maybe more

carmine ore
#

agreed

Hey guys, I'd like to try prot warrior in mm+ and I was wondering how important a rank 4 legendary is to do that? I main arms in pvp and there are still two legendaries that Id like to try on my main spec before dumping soul ashes on a prot leg

strong forum
#

R1 for the effect is important, ilvl matters just as much as on every other slot, if you just wanna test the waters R1 will be enough

silk magnet

ok thanks mate, already got the rank 1

You'll miss a few stats, but it won't make or break anything

I got the gloves with the power that reduces the cd of the intimidating shout, are haste/vers good stats for it?

and when i ihave scale 210 and Stone leigion 220 switch the stone ligeon to hymnal 194?

i did a mid-level key to test out how it felt, and the damage+healing was actually not terrible - bron's healing saved a wipe on a boss

Hey guys! So question, i've been looking some wars on wlogs and noticed that on talents some use Rav with AM and others IF & Bolster; also another group caping hast/mastery while other (as i am) capping haste/vers....so what you think is more viable now for raiding?

fickle timber
#

ITF and Anger MGMT

#

ITF and bolster if you squish

sterile moss
#

I'm assuming ravager in raid means people forgot to switch talents after m+

fickle timber
#

or sunking/trash

#

lol

wooden spruce
#

nice, and for stats? (knowing haste is op)

strong forum
#

Yeah I forgot like for 3 bosses to switch out of ravager

#

Itf is just more damage

#

In raid

#

That's it

#

Stats you just equip ilvl > haste > vers

fickle timber
#

on multipl;e adds its also more rage

i don't play warrior much any more, but what slot are you crrafting for reprisal, assuming haste/versa in most crafts?

Phial is insanely strong on low target cleave

If you want more damage, you can always sim yourself on raidbots

on m+10 on pulls of i.e. 5 adds im doing over 7-9k using rav, hungering trink+haste pvp trink, avatar and demo, but on ST im doing 1.9 (without hero)-2.2 (with hero) with same setup (almost the same for raid just changing rav for if)

Blizz said the Sylvanas fight will be epic, but they're trolling us. Here's how it'll go: we start by fighting Sylvanas until she immunes at 50%. Then Nathanos starts shooting us from the ceiling, and Bolvar asks us to gather soul ash. Finally Bolvar is able to strike the ground with his hammer and we fight Nathanos to 50%, all the while fighting mawsworn that randomly fixate on people and do fanning the flames. Then we try to kill Sylvanas and Nathanos together, but Tyrande finishes them off

well its probs the thrid best for us as mastery isnt great for us, but if and thats a big if you can get the use of the buffing mechanic every 2 minutes fallessly its probably the best for raiding @outer bronze

If you run out to range to buff em with banner you're either simping for your girl raid leader that plays boomy/mage or you're inting

on mythic hungering, should you just let him punch you after taunt swap without shield block?

what should i wear? Hungering mythic trinket or SLG hc trinket?

#

you guys still use 4 patchworks to sim for aoe ?

modern brook
#

if i wanted to see my aoe in a prolonged 4 target situation yeah probably.

#

IDT aoe sims for prot really mean anything. most of our st is just our aoe buttons but like on 1 target

#

you wouldnt stop using SS procs in big aoe pulls unless you're not tanking any of it

wet compass
#

which is why free execute needs to be added to the revenge proc then it could actually change based on st vs aoe 🙂

uneven mason
wet compass
#

boring

uneven mason
#

😉

wet compass
#

give us another button

uneven mason
#

Fantastic

wet compass
#

to hit with semi regularity

uneven mason
#

I'd rather not have button bloat, and just fix the core spec

wet compass
#

that isn't button bloat?

uneven mason
#

adding another button?

wet compass
#

you should be using execute under 20%

uneven mason
#

Yes

wet compass
#

it's not bloat

#

adding heroic throw to the core rotation would be bloat

full fox
#

is necro going to be bis as prot when 9.0.5 comes? im about to switch my cov from venthyr but no clue if i go nf or necro

uneven mason
wet compass
#

making execute be usable outside venth/20% isn't bloat

sterile moss
#

heck, making SS hit harder would be a good start

#

say a flat 20%

#

easy buff to st

uneven mason
#

Yeah, doesn't really give us a strong offensive dump tho

wet compass
#

I mean I'm all for execute being usable always but prot pallys might complain that we might come within a k of them 😛

sterile moss
uneven mason
#

Execute is pretty "meh" itself, as evident that even during our "time to shine" on the DPS specs we're still pretty far behind half the other classes in single target.
It needs to have teeth to have any real impact, which it doesn't really anymore, yeah it hits hard compared to the rest of our kit...but an ability that hits for 20% more than a pillow is still just a heavier pillow.

#

Their design goal with prot seemd to be a choice between offense or defense for our resources, and that was fine, back when if we focused on offense, we actually did appreciable damage.

Now its more like a choice between holding aggro against your DPS's burst at the cost to your healer or defense.

wet compass
#

I mean if I go all out during execute I can hold 5k so yeah within a k 😛

uneven mason
#

for less than 1/5 of a fight.

#

so overall, nah

wet compass
#

I'm saying if we could use execute at will

uneven mason
#

Ah

#

yeah that'd be nifty

wet compass
#

we would probably be second highest single target tank if that was a thing

uneven mason
#

I'd be more interested in a way to hold aggro vs DPS burst that doesn't involve me having Aftershock off CD

wet compass
#

ravager?

uneven mason
#

Fire mages rip right off of Ravager

#

its a good upkeep tool

#

but need some hngggg kaboom

wet compass
#

idk only people I lose aggro to occasionally are rets

uneven mason
#

I lose aggro to rets too, but thats more my interest in watching them die

wet compass
#

if they just nuke on pull

#

lol

uneven mason
#

may or may not press buttons until they die or wings fades

#

Get back in the ♿

oblique pike
#

intervene them then charge in? lol

uneven mason
#

Thats basically what I was doing with the firemage

#

I was just hititng my intervene focus macro constantly

#

if AA was up though

#

It wasn't an issue

#

TFW Make Shockwave hit that hard

#

BUt still it comes back to Xath - even if we had execute for 100% of a fight, we'd still need to make the choice between offense or defense, since we're only REALLY tanky when we press the right buttons.

#

So increasing our damage in situations where its trivial anyway

wet compass
#

Or and hear me out here

#

I just happen to "forget" to taunt for a few extra stacks off the unkillable dh

#

and use that rage for execute 😛

dark lark
#

I literally let my dh co-tank/gm/RL eat 10 stacks of scorn while i spam executes for my parse

uneven mason
#

Need actual applications.

wet compass
#

I actually did legit do that on hungering but we talked about it at the start and it was planned

uneven mason
dark lark
uneven mason
#

I know

#

Meanwhile I'm holding Sire for 18 stacks while we wait on a Bres

#

That wasn't a kill. Held him long enough for the Bres, but not much healers could do when I was taking ~26000 shadow a second. 4% wipe felt bad man.

dark lark
#

lol

uneven mason
#

If I had a 2nd charge of SW I could've survived it

wet compass
#

now if you were alliance that might mean you were missing out of hof because of it

uneven mason
#

UW use maybe?

wet compass
#

lol no

uneven mason

wet compass

don't even joke or some poor dude is going to come and see oh 2 charge shield wall that's good right

uneven mason
#

A lot of warriors came in and asked

#

when the change was first put in

#

if it was raid wide

#

it'd be great tho

#

its group

#

so its garbage

#

Also if the charges were not consecutive

#

literally gaining just htat 1 extra charge per fight feels bad, when TW gives you 4 extra charges in the same time period.

#

and gives you a ton more rage.

patent osprey
#

Seismic for life

uneven mason
#

I feel that the damage boost will be underwhelming

#

75% still feels "Meh"

#

doesn't address ST either

#

so its a weak option for tyrannical weeks.

#

if it was just "Revenge casts a 2nd time for 75% damage"
big 👍

wet compass
#

I'm telling you we need a leggo for protection only that allows execute at any health level

#

then we can go crazy with greeding for logs and it will be great

jagged pier
#

im telling you that should be a talent, and they should fix the base class before giving us borrowed power

uneven mason
#

COuldn't make it prot only, since they impact the same spells cross spec. So, we share arms spell ID on execute.

wet compass
#

Well it would need to be prot only because it would be broken if it could be used by arms 😛

uneven mason
#

ACtually, it'd bring arms out of the dumpster

#

very far from broken

#

for PVP You'd be sacrificing stuff like Unhinged, so not a big deal there.

wet compass
#

arms isn't in the dumpster?

#

it's mid tier

uneven mason
#

On fights that favor it

wet compass
#

along with fury

#

on fights that favor it arms is insane

#

fury on slg is as well but fuck that fight

uneven mason
wet compass
#

arms on sire if your tanks play around it is sickeningly good

uneven mason
#

Yes, cleave we're fine and dandy

wet compass
#

slude is unique

uneven mason
#

ST is where both specs are painfully weak

wet compass
#

yes but very few wall bosses are pure single target

uneven mason
#

beyond pain really, humiliatingly

wet compass
#

tbh they need to remove buffs and and the magic/phys debuffs

#

then classes can actually be balanced

uneven mason
#

This is true, so back to what I said - Execute for 100% wouldn't be broken on arms, it would actually address a glaring gap in our ST damage potential

wet compass
#

of course it never stops mages from being allowed to wreck face totally not salty

#

Dude execute from 100% would be broken as heck lols

uneven mason
#

What the issue is with balance is they increased NPcs armor by a boatload this Xpac

#

and didn't adjust classes that are purely melee to compensate it

patent osprey
#

lets not have a legendary like that. Itll just promote bad tanking practices LOL

#

tanks just using all their rage on execute lol

but pika that's the fun of it 🙂

Imagine - Revenge! makes your next ST attack hit up to 5 targets

uneven mason

Oh

#

even better change Best served cold to do that~ (Revenge causes your next shield slam or execute to hit up to 4 additional targets for 75% damage, 100% damage when made free by a parry or dodge)

wet compass
#

I honestly think for single target something simple that would help is just to make the free rev allow for a free execute instead

#

so a choice of aoe or st

I could live with that

Reducing the rage cost of revenge would increase our threat gen tho

Threat is mostly fine though.

Outside of snap in the first few globals (which is usually just mongo DPS and we have aoe taunt for that)

Better fix would be fury execute and having revenge cleave our next ST attack like ww does for fury

exactlyyyyyyy

thats what i keep saying

fury execute would be nice hard agree

idk about cleave

we dont exactly need cleave

all of our damage is aoe

just crank SS

thats the answer

I think that is the most straightforward answer

uneven mason
#

30% aura buff for SS

#

It's alrdy highest prio

#

And it wouldn't rly affect any other synergies afaik

(doesn't rly help aoe snap which was the original point, but I don't struggle with that anyway)

modern brook
#

I would greatly prefer the damage to be in some kind of spender tbh

wet compass
#

just make execute 100% usable in prot

modern brook
#

I enjoy that our resource is a trade off between offence and defense

wet compass
#

will also raise the skill cap substantially with knowing when you can greed or not since execute burns a lot more rage than rev

signal plover
#

They can't give us slam since it's revenge for us

delicate thorn
#

make Revenge do more damage if it only hits one target?

modern brook

I don't think execute always being useable will ever happen

SpB vs Soul Cleave

uh

wanton condor

technically you get more defenses from soul cleave

I mean thats not a resource decision

thats a talent decision

wanton condor
#

also of course the whole overcap style

modern brook
#

if you have spb you dont cleave

uneven mason
#

soul cleave is massive healing, the big AE attack is a 1min CD that triggers their best defensive? THeir brand is a defensive that does damage?

wanton condor

but again, in reality you don't really make that hcoice

the problem is that the flow of the spec doesn't work so it's braindead

it would fit

I wouldn't mind the damage as much if it was stomp the ground and get real mad

#

or if Show of Force was crunky

#

the issue is the base dmg on TC

#

is pathetic

#

would work for non-prot, cuz yeah infinite IP spam would ruin it haha

#

maybe something for fury some day

wanton condor
#

IP is class wide now, really just a risk for fury

we need a spender of some sort for prot that single target focused

“Go Ape Shit”

Fury and arms is like 12? 8? something

#

and is a big rage dump

wanton condor
#

New lego - "Reflects a portion of damage equal to block value back to the attacker"

I mean worse comes to worse just bring back heroic strike but amped up

warrior DPS fixed!

#

I mean, if you want to be able to scale in ST you could just make Execute crunky

timber nest
#

hmm

wet compass
#

Execute already hits like a truck but it's only usable part of the fight

wanton condor
#

it's not like PLD or VDH have big ST spenders either

wet compass
#

we need a base rage spender

#

pld's rotation does a fuckton of damage as is

#

and vdh playing normally won't cap shit

wanton condor
#

the problem is that rage gen in ST is super skewed, yeah

call me a weirdo but.. I kinda want to be able to hit devastate some more
