but the next gcd can be revenge

SEE ERGA

#

THE MATH

uneven mason
#

You just don't have enough time

brave jetty
#

Uhhh if someone is declining that duo for a 14 they're insane

#

You wouldn't want to group with someone that has that judgment anyways

#

You've been spared

weak spindle
#

Had it plenty last few days

#

People see warrior and think

#

💩

sweet summit
brave jetty
#

Honestly any kind of buff was going to help, more for the player perception than anything

uneven mason
#

I'm not using UF

brave jetty
#

But I'm fairly happy with a 10% skill dmg buff + extra for TC

uneven mason
#

its a trap

sweet summit
#

im not yet either

brave jetty
#

It's not enough but that's a decent-sized buff

uneven mason
#

that just shows he pressed it alot, who knows the opportunity cost

sweet summit
#

yes

weak spindle
#

I mean more damage is more damage.

#

Better than none.

#

Gotta remembered that everything was buffed 10 not just TC

sweet summit
#

but UF+AM is fun

weak spindle
#

Also having an higher AP scaling will make it scale more later?

sweet summit
#

ye but its all relative

uneven mason
#

But if I'm using GCDs on TC how will I Press revenge.

#

Revenge is every GCD!

sweet summit
#

it will do relatively the same damage now and later unless they buff it again

uneven mason
#

(but for SS)

weak spindle
#

Tank a dungeon and only press revenge.

#

Nothing else.

mellow patio
#

Why does everyone hate on TC lmao I love it

uneven mason
#

Well I need to generate rage

uneven mason
weak spindle
#

I miss BFA first patch clap

uneven mason
#

to what it was in BFA

brave jetty
#

What does the relative damage matter?

mellow patio
#

Well yeah that’s obv

weak spindle
#

What a fucking disaster of damage. Kill before you die

#

Then it got like 4 nerfs across bfa

uneven mason
#

Core reason - it does no fucking damage

#

it got buffed by 20%

#

it still does no fucking damage

mellow patio
#

I understand that lmao

uneven mason
#

but 20% less no damage

weak spindle
#

Still. More threat more damage

mellow patio
#

But you boys rooting against TC being good is what I’m questioning lmao

brave jetty
#

I do wish TC felt better

uneven mason
#

meanwhile in 2018 wearing blues

warped mulch
#

Thunderclap only good because it generates rage to press SB with. Have to hit someone with it like 40 times to kill them

weak spindle
#

Clap them to death before they can kill you

#

First patch bfa warrior survial was so fucking bad.

mellow patio
#

Wasn’t that bad

weak spindle
#

But their damage was so fucking stupid busted

uneven mason
mellow patio
#

Certain places it was terrible tho

weak spindle
#

Compared to how it is now

brave jetty
#

If TC/Revenge weaving for more dmg was somehow baseline that'd be nifty

uneven mason
#

having physical attacks that bypassed armor was stupid

weak spindle
#

But most dungeons felt hella sketchy

uneven mason
#

Its because of a "Bug" that didn't allow our armor/block to work vs throw stone and shoot

weak spindle
#

Dont feel you get so much spikes if you play properly

#

But back then fuck me

uneven mason
#

but for raiding we were the tank

#

except Zul

#

because fuck that boss

brave jetty
#

A Crackling Thunder Buff would be great. I wouldn't mind more % slow or for more damage to live in that talent.

weak spindle
#

Nightmares of the bleed mob in that tomb thing

uneven mason
#

Zul

weak spindle
#

Kings rest?

uneven mason
#

Z U L

#

that was ZUL

weak spindle
#

The leaping bleed fuckers

uneven mason
#

Zul was worse in the raid

weak spindle
#

One bleed ticking like half hp on first week

#

Never tanked raid so i never got to feel zul pain thankfully

uneven mason
#

Yeah mythic Uldir we were beefy

weak spindle
#

But his damage was dumb in later high fort holy moly

uneven mason
#

but you had to plan your CD use

signal plover
#

Zul was only hard in raid cuz flipper handed healers wouldn't follow the warr tank out to heal em

uneven mason
#

that was the thing most people missed.

brave jetty
#

Also on Reprisal: it actually makes me look forward to double legendaries. That + Thundergod's is going to be NUTS in dungeons.

weak spindle
#

To cheese eviserates and instant 5 combo on aoe

signal plover
#

We stacked rogues

ornate sky
#

reprisal + seismic seems fun as fuck too, massive revenge

weak spindle
#

Sub got nerfed and it never came back

uneven mason
signal plover
#

Similar issue yeh

uneven mason
#

4 stacks "bop now" .... have to press SW and pump IP...5 more seconds..."BOP NOW"
Oh I thought you had someone else to do it (literally only paladin in raid)

#

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

brave jetty
#

Yeah Seismic would be fun, still feels like it'll be a bit weak and it has 0 defensive utility besides killing mobs faster

uneven mason
#

It feels like it should be 100% not 75%

#

and triggers IP

brave jetty
#

triggering IP would be too much lol

#

maybe a big multiplier of dmg added to existing IP? like our conduit

astral crystal
#

If it procced IP it’d make IP itself almost useless to press

#

I’m down with that

uneven mason
#

sure

astral crystal
#

Kek

sick sentinel
#

is signet a decent leggo if I run ravager? dont have enough ash to build my prot one yet

uneven mason
#

doesn't work

#

Prot ravager is a diff spell ID

#

than arms

sick sentinel
#

oh what thats lame

uneven mason
#

so it won't trigger signet (only avatar)

sick sentinel
#

well i dont want to bladestorm as prot so i guess thats a no go

uneven mason
#

you can

#

just not with rav

weak spindle
#

You can still block and parry in bs

uneven mason
#

yeah bs doesnt hurt us

sick sentinel
#

oh thats good to know

uneven mason
#

I frequently forget to swap my legos

#

and endup bladestorming in a +15

brave jetty
#

planned

uneven mason
#

just makes some packs more iffy

#

without the frequent SW

sick sentinel
#

can i still press defensives in BS? like shield block and stuff

uneven mason
#

yes

timber lagoon
#

Yup

uneven mason
#

Demo shout, Sheldblock

sick sentinel
#

oh right on then

uneven mason
#

IP

#

can all be used.

azure vessel
#

could uhh, someone explain the prot aura buffs? the wowhead post dont make no sense

uneven mason
#

10% damage buff

#

done

timber lagoon
#

Our damage is going up

ornate sky
#

stonks in $prot are going to the moon

azure vessel
#

yeah but it shoes like rampage and stuff as effected abilities

uneven mason
#

Aura is the balancing tool they use (its a hidden buff applied when you swap specs)

azure vessel
#

makes it seem like it buffs all warriors by 10% lol

uneven mason
#

right its a blanket buff

#

they're too lazy to remove the non prot abilities from it

azure vessel
#

ah ok

#

thats what i thought its just confusing

brave jetty
#

10% to the skills

azure vessel
#

thanksd dawg

brave jetty
#

not necessarily 10% to damage

#

since it excludes autos and procs from items/enchants

azure vessel
#

right right

brave jetty
#

but close to it

tepid raptor
#

Umm guys, I'm tanking Mythic raids today as OS. Only got dps trinkets, I have legion trink, quantom 210, arcane 220, anima field 210

ornate sky
#

only things you miss are autos and dmg procs

uneven mason
#

They literally pulled up "Protection Warrior" and added +10, wowhead's dataminer just shows you all the spell IDs included in the aura "Protection warrior"

weak spindle
#

Legion

#

Anima

tepid raptor
#

oki

ornate sky
#

normal stat procs are buffed by this

uneven mason
#

as is legion

tepid raptor
#

Okay cool!

#

im 9% versa though, worth it swapping to lower ilvl for more versa?

uneven mason
#

no

timber lagoon
#

No

uneven mason
#

never sacrifice ilvl

timber lagoon
#

Keep that ilvl

tepid raptor
#

Oki, 22% haste

timber lagoon
#

And just press ur buttons

tepid raptor
#

Gem and enchant to versa?

uneven mason
#

vers stacking is a 8.3 meme that should be taken out to the curb and kicked in the teeth repeatedly until only tomato paste remains

timber lagoon
#

Not instead of haste

tepid raptor
#

aight

uneven mason
#

don't focus on %

#

just stack ilvl

tepid raptor
#

remove whirlwind out of my rotation? XD

uneven mason

#

yes

timber lagoon
#

Nah leave that shit

strong forum
#

WW is dead

tepid raptor
#

They kinda threw me in there, the tank left last minute

#

aight

#

tyvm<3

uneven mason
#

no WW for u

timber lagoon
#

Only if you have signet

tepid raptor
#

Ill put condemn there instead 😄

#

I have signet

timber lagoon
#

There you go

uneven mason
#

no

#

wtf'

timber lagoon
#

Start condemning

uneven mason
#

don't confuse the boy

timber lagoon
#

Do you have a prot leggo?

tepid raptor
#

so, no condemn? XD

#

Nope bro

uneven mason
#

COndemn is fine

timber lagoon
#

Condemn is good ST instead of revenge

uneven mason
#

no WW

timber lagoon
#

Yeah don't ww, forget it exists

#

What are your leggo options?

uneven mason
#

Be careful about over spending on condemn

tepid raptor
#

yeah only as filler?

uneven mason
#

since you'll want to have rage for SB

#

and occasionally IP

tepid raptor
#

whats that

#

sb

#

ip

uneven mason
#

shield block

tepid raptor
#

ah shieldblock

uneven mason
#

oh god

timber lagoon
#

Lol

uneven mason
#

and this is where our public perception comes from

timber lagoon

Ip is ignore pain

tepid raptor

ah IP

uneven mason
#

😄 Kidding, I'd hit up the guide on IV

#

just go over some basics

north pecan
#

Everyone excited about the 10% dps buff?

uneven mason
#

About as excited when I findout I'm getting my annual cost of living increase (which is less than my cost of living increases)

#

Its about on par when they gave fury a 3% buff

#

"Look we did something LOVE US FOR IT"

north pecan
#

:(, my work is baseline 3% a year, 6% the higher performing eng

uneven mason
#

oh, you're lucky

#

mine isn't even that.

#

used to be 5%

#

before 2008

bitter kiln
#

sorry realy stupid question. is there any preferable race to be for prot or can i roll whatever?

uneven mason
#

whatever

#

just not rat people

#

or Alliance

bitter kiln
#

haha ok that was not on my list anyway 😛

north pecan
#

One day kultiran will be the god race when they can do cross faction lfd

sweet summit
#

dorf

uneven mason
#

Dwarf

#

If there was Horde dwarves with the same racial

#

I'd play em

#

being able to remove shit and a 10% DR

#

crazygood

bitter kiln
#

ok thx guys, mag´har it is then

uneven mason
#

No rat people

uneven mason
#

No hooved smurfs

north pecan
#

BTW working on my prot, how much dps can they pull around 220ish on like a 18 key. Normally do 4.2-4.6 on brew and 3.6-3.9k on bear

uneven mason
#

gawd

north pecan
#

ew

uneven mason
#

3 if you REALLY push hard

#

REALLLY hard

#

Like "OH god I spent all week eating rice and bread" pushing hard

#

kidding, IDK if you pump damage, probably 4k isn't out of the question

#

but we gotta use defensives sometimes

arctic wasp
#

depends a lot on the dungeon too, some dungeoins you can go easily to 3.5 some others not past 2.5 😛

north pecan
#

Ya wasnt expecting brew numbers, and bear gets to cheat with convoke and aoe god pulling every 3 min

uneven mason
#

9.0.5 will give us more pumps

#

can run Seismic with BSC

#

and dish out impressive damage

sudden smelt
#

hey guys noob question here, could you still dodge/parry/block while channeling fleshcraft?

amber herald
#

yep

uneven mason
#

mmhmm

light thicket
#

Best served cold could be a thing?

#

What a time to be alive

humble mason
#

Is it just me or do we just kinda evaporate in +15s right now? I feel like one of the only dungeons I can properly tank is ToP

strong forum
#

na

#

15s are chill

arctic wasp
#

yeah 15s are chill, the only time you get evaporated is if SB rans off haha

uneven mason
#

Or your DPS are flippermonkeys and can't interrupt

arctic wasp
#

also some pulls in DOS if no one interrupts 😛

#

yeah that too

north pecan
#

Ya why I was playing my prot again, my brew was evaporating in 20s

arctic wasp
#

flippermonkeys no bueno

uneven mason
arctic wasp
#

true

uneven mason
#

THose hurt even with interrupts

#

just so many casts

humble mason
#

Anything casting shadowcore is my archnemesis, I have learned that.

uneven mason
#

and some are instant

arctic wasp
#

yeah you pretty much try to reflect on CD hahaha

uneven mason
#

I literally pop SW/SR/LS truck revenge, drop ravager, stun and leap out of lOS

#

on those pulls

#

like I get aggro and just get away

arctic wasp
#

not a bad idea

north pecan
#

Ya on those you just save shield wall for it, spell reflect, run when wall is down

uneven mason
#

run before wall is down

#

like 2s on wall

#

you GTFO

#

because if wall drops mid leap

north pecan
#

Well run I mean leap away

uneven mason
#

they'll instant cast you to death mid air

north pecan
#

lol

humble mason
#

That is my tactic in most situations. Somehow there are tons of people doing +13s that dont know that kiting is a thing though

uneven mason
#

but that wsa from a missed interrupt

light thicket
#

And that's when your boomkin friend typhoons adds to where you leaped

#

Good times

uneven mason
#

I mean those 2 pulls are the only ones in +13 and above that I have to kite

#

but I don't go higher than 15

#

Because when I mention that +17 SoA key

#

people are like "CAN WE JUST DROP IT TO 14 FOR VAULT?"

arctic wasp
#

well if dps is low and sometimes you need couple of seconds out to recover SB, but that wont normally happen unless is a shitty group

#

lol

north pecan
#

Only things you need to kite in 17 soa are the cats, and maybe the pack b4 2nd boss if you dont jav it

uneven mason
#

Yeah last time I was in DOS our fire mage hit his combustion on the pack before those both times

#

and I'm like BRO

#

literally only time your burst matters is the casters!

uneven mason
#

get a BoP

#

run around

#

no stuns

#

no bleed

north pecan
#

or just have a hunter flare the ones on the right

uneven mason
#

pfft

celest trellis
#

Hi all - I'm holy priest raid lead looking to help our Prot Warrior tank on his survivability on H Sire during mirror transitions. Can you all offer any tips or point me in the right direction for resources?

uneven mason
#

hunters

uneven mason
#

I can tell from experience, Sire is a douchebag and will "double tap" his inevitable at times, hitting for like 40k shadow

north pecan
#

So Im guessing everyone is Niya on NF, or are there some brave souls doing Kor with first strikes?

outer solstice
#

only as DPS tbh

north pecan
#

ya most bears are rocking that first strikes and doing stupid dps with convoke

outer solstice
#

well the real reason I wouldn't consider him is that I have my DPS conduits in korayn

#

I play fury in M+ and prot in raid

north pecan
#

I figured kor might be nice with the whole our whole dps is the first 10 with shout and ravager/cov ability

outer solstice
#

burrz is too burrrzzzs

#

*shrug

light thicket
outer solstice
#

yeah jsut don't inevitable whenever possible

#

let him walk shrug

#

hold his hand

#

make him happy

celest trellis
light thicket
#

Watch before the mirror transitions

unique patio
#

Any tips for heroic sire? Getting slapped hard sometimes by Sire in P2 and P3

light thicket
#

Make sure ylhe keeps him horizontal next to the mirror

#

So he never has to turn hes back to go through it

#

It gets a lot better when you realize those things

#

Sounds like noobish stuff butt

#

Make sure he always faces him when actively tanking

unique patio
#

I was trying that and it fixed the transition I guess the massacre dance is where I am messing up.

light thicket
#

Ikarikaze will probably give you some better tips

unique patio
#

Thanks for that

rugged finch
#

Hi friends, I'm venthyr and I would like to know which covenant is best for tank now and for 9.0.5

jagged pier
#

any you want really

uneven wagon
#

any of you guys play prot in pvp?

uneven mason
# celest trellis https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/qm4pG6Jd2ywNPvFb/

Digging through the logs at least at surface level, he still has sire slapping him in the ass when he has wracking pain, that's on the other tank (who dies faster than your warrior fwiw)
As for the mirrior transitions he could bank some rage for IP, hit SR and double tap IP before going through. SR is a strong mitigation vs inevitable.

jagged pier
uneven mason
#

The rest is timing

uneven wagon
#

probably yeah

uneven mason
#

Sire P2 is a dance

#

and is very easy to control

#

but its fast paced

uneven wagon
#

guess ill go wack a target dummy to learn arms rotation

uneven mason
#

so eveyrone has to be watching their feet

light thicket
#

O since i have you guys here

#

Anyone have any good vids/guides for P3?

#

Im pretty sure my positioning is shit

uneven mason
#

Bank rage for when the taunt swap happens because your healers are going to literally forget you still have to be healed due to 8k ticks on scorn

#

so you gotta pump IP

#

Like Zul, but I can't just stand there and look cute while the dot eats my face off.

light thicket
#

Yeah cant seem to keep my hp up in that phase

uneven mason
#

Because even at 6 stacks its doing insane damage.

light thicket
#

And hand fucks my shit up

uneven mason
#

The only way I got him down is when the healers all did a huddle and figured out the timing on their CDs

#

literally 2 pulls later he folded once we implimented assigned healer CDs and tank healing

#

But as for positioning

#

you need to have him almost in the outside circle

#

and face him inward

light thicket
#

I have 2 resto druids and a pally in my comp

outer solstice
uneven mason
#

when he's gonna do the 3rd slash

light thicket
#

Yeah but with so many soaks

#

I been thinjing of moving him a bit more

#

So melee dont lose so much dps

#

But im scared of magically wiping the group

uneven mason
#

so sire never teleports

outer solstice
#

oh well I always have my finger on my Healthstone for that,...

#

but hope to keep it for P3

compact palm
#

Can u Sr teleport

uneven mason
#

if he does teleport he will always

  1. Be in melee range
  2. Face the dead center of the room
  3. be as far from the center as possible while meeting condition #1
uneven mason
celest trellis
compact palm
#

Rip

light thicket
#

I chug them down like water in P3

uneven mason
#

sidestep then backpedal (I know lol) then turn to face the mirror on the other side

#

sire will inevitable facing the center

#

if your back is to him

#

he'll crack you good

celest trellis
uneven mason
#

yeah it feels wrong

#

because it feels rushed when you have to dodge HoD

#

but there is time

light thicket
#

When you go thru mirros yoy alwats end up looking at center

uneven mason
#

P2 FEELS like rushed chaos

light thicket
#

With sire salpping your but

uneven mason
#

but if you can get the "steps" to click ( and not pop adds during hand/massacre) it goes down easy

light thicket
#

So you gotta turn around quick

uneven mason
#

Also I'd suggest using a roar or warlock gate on the 3rd HoD and moving to the center

#

it gives melee additional uptime on him for P3 start

#

P3 though, is slower, but soooo much damage

outer solstice
#

P2 is a nice dance

#

no rush at all

#

no matter if you do 1 2 or 3 packs of adds

#

oh well, I have like 150 kills on sire hc xD xD

celest trellis
rugged finch
#

so playing venthyr is ok?

outer solstice
#

yep

rugged finch
#

I am glad to hear that

uneven mason
# outer solstice no rush at all

Yeah, my guild found that when we tried to "rush" and push the phase before adds is when we'd lose people and folks would get caught in mechanics. ALthough this week we're high enough DPS That we can reliably push him to P3 without the 3rd set, so we're going with that.

peak stirrup
#

do any prot warriors here think that the damage buffs will be super impactful for mythic+?

celest trellis
lavish oracle
#

I mean, I think it more clearly secures our place near the top of the meta after the reprisal buff

uneven mason
#

Its a slog too, each pull to get to 40% is 7minutes at that point if you're doing 3rd adds.

uneven mason
#

We'll be fine for doing keys that matter though

#

more than fine

lavish oracle
#

eh, I think we'll be like top 3

#

hard to say if we'll be better than bear

uneven mason
#

mmm, since nothing was done to deter the kiting meta, and guardian druids and paladins are still a thing

#

We wont be better than bear

#

Bear is too honest and trustworthy

lavish oracle
#

Nah, I don't think paladins are a thing even now, lol

deep steppe
lavish oracle
#

like we're clearly ahead of paladins after the buffs

uneven mason
#

But you might be right

#

with the banner

peak stirrup
#

I was prot at the beginning of the xpac but keeping aggro in dungeons was so hard I just gave up

uneven mason
#

and reprisal

#

with the 10%

#

we may become the meta

#

since 400mastery is more impactful than 5%

lavish oracle
#

Reprisal + ~9% overall damage buff is absurd

chilly brook
#

I've never had aggro be an issue

solemn magnet
#

Yeah same~

wanton condor

aggro is def an issue if you don't run ravager I feel?

ravager totally fixes it

And even as Venthyr now it's not an issue

you can spam revenge

.42 -> .462 AP scaling

its liek 10% plus 4% AP scaling

uneven mason

they literally didn't bother removing the fury/arms stuff

they just grabbed the spell ID for every warrior spell and added it to the effect line

Don't quote me on that tho plz.

and if we go bolster ravager is still the play?

No.

@proper pecan change of heart is the component of the M inerva tank mechanic (after 66% container energy) that makes you do fall off dmg to the raid. It's never worth reflecting imo

you do more SS damage with devastator

yo i love it when my toaster brain puts things together keksquad

Let me introduce you to a phrase
"Opportunity Cost"

sturdy sable

That's like the reason we run devastator

arctic wasp
#

devastator is also free us a GCD

uneven mason

we ru ndevastator because devastate is a shitty filler ability

#

that is just there to fish for SS

#

and uses up GCDs

sturdy sable
#

Yeah so we pick it to do it for us

pure sun

Ayo for anyone proggin mythic sludge, you guys runnin improved inspire? Got rid of it since it seems little to no time where I can hit majority of the raid outside of pillar soaks

sturdy sable

Which again is what you where saying

uneven mason

that could be used on revenge, or TC or execute that ALSO reset SS

It buffers pillar hits so well even if you only blanket like 80% of the raid

And the increased duration from the conduit covers the seismic shift pop (saving ppl from overlap oopsies) as well as the pillar hit

Is avoidance a valuable stat? I’m up to 9% with lucky rolls

#

I feel like that’s a high number

deep steppe
#

I mean if you can get it sure

but you shouldn't take a weaker item with avoidance over the stronger item

Put simply primary stat is big, it's more damage and more mitigation

Whereas stam is just more HP which for the most part doesnt actually help us

i dont think there is 5 primary stats though, is it ?
