You just don't have enough time
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
Honestly any kind of buff was going to help, more for the player perception than anything
I'm not using UF
But I'm fairly happy with a 10% skill dmg buff + extra for TC
its a trap
im not yet either
Is that ptr?
It's not enough but that's a decent-sized buff
that just shows he pressed it alot, who knows the opportunity cost
yes
I mean more damage is more damage.
Better than none.
Gotta remembered that everything was buffed 10 not just TC
but UF+AM is fun
Also having an higher AP scaling will make it scale more later?
ye but its all relative
it will do relatively the same damage now and later unless they buff it again
(but for SS)
Why does everyone hate on TC lmao I love it
Well I need to generate rage
Because its pathetic compared
I miss BFA first patch clap
to what it was in BFA
What does the relative damage matter?
Well yeah that’s obv
What a fucking disaster of damage. Kill before you die
Then it got like 4 nerfs across bfa
It does less damage than an auto attack
Core reason - it does no fucking damage
it got buffed by 20%
it still does no fucking damage
I understand that lmao
but 20% less no damage
Still. More threat more damage
But you boys rooting against TC being good is what I’m questioning lmao
I do wish TC felt better
meanwhile in 2018 wearing blues
Thunderclap only good because it generates rage to press SB with. Have to hit someone with it like 40 times to kill them
Clap them to death before they can kill you
First patch bfa warrior survial was so fucking bad.
Wasn’t that bad
But their damage was so fucking stupid busted
It was amazing, unless you were talking rocks or bullets
Certain places it was terrible tho
Compared to how it is now
If TC/Revenge weaving for more dmg was somehow baseline that'd be nifty
This tbh
having physical attacks that bypassed armor was stupid
But most dungeons felt hella sketchy
Its because of a "Bug" that didn't allow our armor/block to work vs throw stone and shoot
A Crackling Thunder Buff would be great. I wouldn't mind more % slow or for more damage to live in that talent.
Nightmares of the bleed mob in that tomb thing
Zul
Kings rest?
The leaping bleed fuckers
Zul was worse in the raid
One bleed ticking like half hp on first week
Never tanked raid so i never got to feel zul pain thankfully
Yeah mythic Uldir we were beefy
But his damage was dumb in later high fort holy moly
but you had to plan your CD use
Zul was only hard in raid cuz flipper handed healers wouldn't follow the warr tank out to heal em
that was the thing most people missed.
Also on Reprisal: it actually makes me look forward to double legendaries. That + Thundergod's is going to be NUTS in dungeons.
Imagine not taking 8 rogues
To cheese eviserates and instant 5 combo on aoe
We stacked rogues
reprisal + seismic seems fun as fuck too, massive revenge
Sub got nerfed and it never came back
Or your Retadin that was assinged to BoP yo uwas too busy streaming pr0n
Similar issue yeh
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)
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Yeah Seismic would be fun, still feels like it'll be a bit weak and it has 0 defensive utility besides killing mobs faster
That was our defensive ability in 8.0
It feels like it should be 100% not 75%
and triggers IP
triggering IP would be too much lol
maybe a big multiplier of dmg added to existing IP? like our conduit
sure
Kek
is signet a decent leggo if I run ravager? dont have enough ash to build my prot one yet
oh what thats lame
so it won't trigger signet (only avatar)
well i dont want to bladestorm as prot so i guess thats a no go
You can still block and parry in bs
yeah bs doesnt hurt us
oh thats good to know
planned
can i still press defensives in BS? like shield block and stuff
yes
Yup
Demo shout, Sheldblock
oh right on then
could uhh, someone explain the prot aura buffs? the wowhead post dont make no sense
Our damage is going up
stonks in $prot are going to the moon
yeah but it shoes like rampage and stuff as effected abilities
Aura is the balancing tool they use (its a hidden buff applied when you swap specs)
makes it seem like it buffs all warriors by 10% lol
10% to the skills
thanksd dawg
right right
but close to it
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
only things you miss are autos and dmg procs
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"
oki
normal stat procs are buffed by this
AFE is big D for prot
as is legion
no
No
never sacrifice ilvl
Keep that ilvl
Oki, 22% haste
And just press ur buttons
Gem and enchant to versa?
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
Not instead of haste
aight
remove whirlwind out of my rotation? XD
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
yes
Nah leave that shit
WW is dead
no WW for u
Only if you have signet
There you go
Start condemning
don't confuse the boy
Do you have a prot leggo?
COndemn is fine
Condemn is good ST instead of revenge
no WW
Be careful about over spending on condemn
yeah only as filler?
shield block
ah shieldblock
oh god
Lol
and this is where our public perception comes from
Ip is ignore pain
ah IP
Internet Protocol
Everyone excited about the 10% dps buff?
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"
:(, my work is baseline 3% a year, 6% the higher performing eng
sorry realy stupid question. is there any preferable race to be for prot or can i roll whatever?
haha ok that was not on my list anyway 😛
One day kultiran will be the god race when they can do cross faction lfd
dorf
Dwarf
If there was Horde dwarves with the same racial
I'd play em
being able to remove shit and a 10% DR
crazygood
🦊
ok thx guys, mag´har it is then
No rat people
dranei
No hooved smurfs
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
gawd
2.5
ew
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
depends a lot on the dungeon too, some dungeoins you can go easily to 3.5 some others not past 2.5 😛
Ya wasnt expecting brew numbers, and bear gets to cheat with convoke and aoe god pulling every 3 min
9.0.5 will give us more pumps
can run Seismic with BSC
and dish out impressive damage
hey guys noob question here, could you still dodge/parry/block while channeling fleshcraft?
yep
mmhmm
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
yeah 15s are chill, the only time you get evaporated is if SB rans off haha
Or your DPS are flippermonkeys and can't interrupt
Ya why I was playing my prot again, my brew was evaporating in 20s
flippermonkeys no bueno
The pack before Hakkar and the pack before Ardenweald
true
Anything casting shadowcore is my archnemesis, I have learned that.
and some are instant
yeah you pretty much try to reflect on CD hahaha
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
not a bad idea
Ya on those you just save shield wall for it, spell reflect, run when wall is down
run before wall is down
like 2s on wall
you GTFO
because if wall drops mid leap
Well run I mean leap away
they'll instant cast you to death mid air
lol
That is my tactic in most situations. Somehow there are tons of people doing +13s that dont know that kiting is a thing though
but that wsa from a missed interrupt
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?"
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
Only things you need to kite in 17 soa are the cats, and maybe the pack b4 2nd boss if you dont jav it
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!
400IQ on cats
get a BoP
run around
no stuns
no bleed
or just have a hunter flare the ones on the right
pfft
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?
hunters
log?
I can tell from experience, Sire is a douchebag and will "double tap" his inevitable at times, hitting for like 40k shadow
So Im guessing everyone is Niya on NF, or are there some brave souls doing Kor with first strikes?
only as DPS tbh
ya most bears are rocking that first strikes and doing stupid dps with convoke
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
I figured kor might be nice with the whole our whole dps is the first 10 with shout and ravager/cov ability
I got so angry when i saw that
yeah jsut don't inevitable whenever possible
let him walk shrug
hold his hand
make him happy

Is there anything to be done by healers or the warrior to mitigate this? (other than holding hands and singing songs)
Watch before the mirror transitions
Any tips for heroic sire? Getting slapped hard sometimes by Sire in P2 and P3
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
I was trying that and it fixed the transition I guess the massacre dance is where I am messing up.
Ikarikaze will probably give you some better tips
Thanks for that
Hi friends, I'm venthyr and I would like to know which covenant is best for tank now and for 9.0.5
any you want really
any of you guys play prot in pvp?
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.
play arms u will have a better time
The rest is timing
probably yeah
guess ill go wack a target dummy to learn arms rotation
so eveyrone has to be watching their feet
O since i have you guys here
Anyone have any good vids/guides for P3?
Im pretty sure my positioning is shit
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.
Yeah cant seem to keep my hp up in that phase
Because even at 6 stacks its doing insane damage.
And hand fucks my shit up
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
I have 2 resto druids and a pally in my comp
top them before planned inevitables, liek mirrors or long pulls
when he's gonna do the 3rd slash
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
This, like outside of movement and dodging Wracking Pain the tanks should be leghumping eachother
so sire never teleports
oh well I always have my finger on my Healthstone for that,...
but hope to keep it for P3
Can u Sr teleport
if he does teleport he will always
- Be in melee range
- Face the dead center of the room
- be as far from the center as possible while meeting condition #1
You can reduce it by 20% with SR, but we no longer deflect/reflect it
I don't think this is happening at all. I feel like there's a good 8-10 yards between them. Easy fix to implement - thanks!
Rip
Healthstone + kyrian pot + healing pot
I chug them down like water in P3
Big tip for them, is when they're going to go through the mirror, don't run through with your butt toward the sword/sire
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
This is specially important
Strangely, I think this is causing the most headaches for them.
yeah it feels wrong
because it feels rushed when you have to dodge HoD
but there is time
When you go thru mirros yoy alwats end up looking at center
P2 FEELS like rushed chaos
With sire salpping your but
but if you can get the "steps" to click ( and not pop adds during hand/massacre) it goes down easy
So you gotta turn around quick
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
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
Yep - got that going already.
so playing venthyr is ok?
yep
I am glad to hear that
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.
do any prot warriors here think that the damage buffs will be super impactful for mythic+?
Agreed - we've decided to just slow it down, accept that we're going to get the 3rd set and let dps focus on not failing mechanics. We started getting to P3 more consistently with that. Still rough with mirror transitions though.
I mean, I think it more clearly secures our place near the top of the meta after the reprisal buff
Its a slog too, each pull to get to 40% is 7minutes at that point if you're doing 3rd adds.
We won't be in the meta still
We'll be fine for doing keys that matter though
more than fine
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
Nah, I don't think paladins are a thing even now, lol

like we're clearly ahead of paladins after the buffs
I was prot at the beginning of the xpac but keeping aggro in dungeons was so hard I just gave up
and reprisal
with the 10%
we may become the meta
since 400mastery is more impactful than 5%
Reprisal + ~9% overall damage buff is absurd
I've been prot until recently
I've never had aggro be an issue
Gotta pump
Yeah same~

And even as Venthyr now it's not an issue

but how do you do it if you only have 2 aoe abilities
I like to save my spear
or revenge
you can spam revenge
I don't usually have aggro issues unless someone is absolutely going nuts on the pull
but also I run roar
bolster + pump revenge
ppl forget that LS is now a dps cd
The one or two times I have an issue i just challenging shout and its gucci
with bolster and the conduit
yeah generally its if a firemage decides his combustion has been off CD for too long and decides to roll before I'm done with charge
meta eye beam before I can get a global in, haha
I Just let HDH die
Is it true prot is getting a aura buff
"you're here to buff the boomkin welp"
Yeah, 10% @compact palm
Omg
What does #news tell you
Thunderclap is getting 20%!
20%? thought it was like 10
Griff you check out how lazy they were
Thunder clap could've used like 50
.42 -> .462 AP scaling
its liek 10% plus 4% AP scaling
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
Wdym
literally ctrl + A, Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V
IM JUST HERE TO CELEBRATE THE BUFFS
yeah, but normnally they at least edit the fury/arms stuff out of prot
Big boys
FINALLY WE GET THE LOVE
Does master assassin apply to all the orb hits in wake? or just the first one?
@uneven mason so basically instead of doing 3.9k overall at the end of the dungeon I'll be doing 4.3k
There are several things on inerva that are reflectable
Mwahi says it pumps

big one is the cast from the add iirc
we're gaming boys
👀
is UF gonna be worth it somehow after the clap buff?
Fukka youuuu

I want to go back to UF but also dont
Because everything else that was good about it is dead
I want to have Deafening Crsh back
dont think so
From a damage PoV it might actually become worth it.
Ok, everyone play Warmachine.
Mwahi will just make you use UF to troll Paw

Plzno
I played war machine on explosive week 😄

You'll have to pry ravager from my cold dead hands
😂
Go a step further and @everyone with that @ionic fern
right we finally got it back after like 3 expansions
You won't
I have not done the initial sims yet because i actually got into a group that is taking me into 17+ keys so i'm doing them right now.
😂
Push week
Mwahi is hero ❤️
Beeg pusher
But i think UF/AM and Ravager/AM are going to be close in DPS.
Don't quote me on that tho plz.
Thanks.
and if we go bolster ravager is still the play?
No.
Bolster won't be the play
AM baby
AM will be the play.
why more block when 100% block

No need for bolster when reprisal exists
Reprisal takes care of Shield block uptime.
*with reprisal
Because reprisal
Reprisal takes care of block uptime.
LS will now only be a DPS CD 
ah
So we slam
you know as soon as i asked, I was like...."hold on"
well if UF is close to Rav I'll prolly go UF, 1 less button 
I know we are warriors and all but I've even attached a picture
yo boys, was wondering if it is worth to socket at 226 vers mast bracers, or if i should rather wait for one with better stats?
socket
But so many more wasted GCDs
just more revenges 
How are you going to revenge when you're pressing TC?
Big brain is BSC tho.
If i'm pressing TC i wont have GCDs then
Come on and slam
@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
And welcome to the jam



Don't forget, reprisal gives many free revenges and big rage on intervene/charge

^^^
you now intervene the healer for damage
my man
sounds interesting
When 9.0.5 hits? Like 16.03?
you should be fine to socket those? doubt you'll get better
Prolly yeh
boe ones are better prob
will BSC > BV?
Need 2,1k more soul ash for r4 reprisal 😂
though it's a dumb question, wouldn't heavy repercussions work well with reprisal?
with Seismic
👀
wont need either of block talents with reprisal
maybe with reprisal
Sims soon™️
i mean it extends the block, that's the only reason why
Mwahi is MVP
when 100% block up time why need more block uptime?
gotta make sure you won't get a gap
uh
30g to rig sims to show UF still dead
even with 100% uptime
110% yikes
you have to make sure
😂
no gap
Council is deead 
rather more 
nah
more avatar means dead mobs
that's boring
dead mobs mean no gap
Yes and more Avatar more fun
16k condemns here I come
my job ain't dps, my job is to take a beating
Your job is dps
your job is DPS
kleia gap
more condemns!
Not after what they did to my boi
and by extension prot.
they should've put dragon roar on 4th talent row
margin of error level increase.
is there a way to know how much % of barrier am i getting with Brutal Vitality conduit ?¿?
more shield block means more shield slam dam 
Yes, 0 don't use it
my slow brain is putting it together
wat
Is reprisal intervene only or charge as well?
punish adds 20% slam dmg
Both
charge and intervene
Ok
Reprisal looks really fun
and shield block is 30%
i feel Unnerving focus gives me too little unless i pick Bolster, any other good thing to put there ??
ok (multiplicative but go on)
won't they be 50% together?
Punish is meh
but devastator give free slam
you do more SS damage with devastator
yo i love it when my toaster brain puts things together 
Let me introduce you to a phrase
"Opportunity Cost"
That's like the reason we run devastator
devastator is also free us a GCD
we ru ndevastator because devastate is a shitty filler ability
that is just there to fish for SS
and uses up GCDs
Yeah so we pick it to do it for us
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
Which again is what you where saying
that could be used on revenge, or TC or execute that ALSO reset SS
hmmm
yeah not getting a 3rd set of adds is preferable, but you can actually do it with onyl 1 set of adds
When my DPS starts putting their backs into it
^^
I'm burning it on the stomp just before 2nd pillar hit as we run out
Seems to hit most of the raid
I feel like just runnin the ignore pain increase might be more worth
Maybe missing the couple folks doin the special snowflake soak
Every week is a push week if you are pushing 15's
get about 70k~ of shield
Tbh id never run that over inspiring in raid
Especially on sludge
Where the whole raid is getting smacked constantly
inspiring stronk
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
I mean if you can get it sure
but you shouldn't take a weaker item with avoidance over the stronger item
ilvl is king
then yeah thats nice
I kno that feel kek
I got a 210 hem from mots with socket and avoidance
I'm just a 1-4 weekly keys fella
btw anyone know if reflect has any value on sludge? I see the chart says the shit with big fist but is it worth baiting it
its all physical on him
you don't try to take fists + hits
I Mean, you can...try..
bad idea though
I smoothbrain got into melee 1s before my co tank did
20 seconds later they battle ressed me
wasn't expecting an enraged double fisting
Going to try again next week though, got my shield from SLG
Have u tried shield block + intervene tho? big protection cock size move
On mythic you'll get fucking trucked
going to run reprisal in raid just so I can
Planning on switching covenants from Venthyr to Nightfae or Kyrian. Which is better for m+?
flip a coin
I havent gotten punished for it yet lol, helps save our DH
oof DH co tank
it's about you yourself dying
I know that answer seems sarcastic, but really, all the covenants will be fine come patch, K N and V are good now.
only time I die is when our healers think im never gonna die and only heal our dh lol, doesnt seem like a big issue
TFW they stop healing you and then the SB gap appears
"DON'T STOP NOW, WE'RE IN GAP COUNTRY!"
lmao
"A wild Block Gap crits for 40,000"
Lads, i have a question in mists
as prot, is it worth taking the primary stat mushroom or the stamina mushroom?
Primary stat always
primary
stat
alright
Stam buffs are omegalul
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 get up to over 120k HP xD
i dont think there is 5 primary stats though, is it ?
and it's soooo worthless
i never picked it up because one time a dps blame me for picking it instead of him xD
there are 5 green ones
120k HP means ur healer gunna be sad tryinngg to top u
only temporary
you get healed for the difference when you increase your HP ppol temporary
so it actualyl is helpful
you want to pick the stam buff prob only if you are doing something like a +20 and some mechanic can one shot u, very niche xD
Uhhh
Don't face tank enraged gargons
always kite gargons if 3-4 stakcs, if enrage just run, dont even try it, not worth it xD
Yeah
other than that, weekly route will do the trick 😛
try to interrupt casters after an aoe stun so they dont cast at same time, that might be dangerous if not reflected
i've never had issues with dmg in plaguefall honestly, any particular pull ?, maybe you can do a diff route if a pull is too hard for you (specially after 1st boss there are several options)
Kick, shockwave, storm bolt
also if you can communicate with your healer, you can always ask for an external on those magical pulls, if in a pug i would say avoid or have SW ready 😛
Spell reflect is great in PF
It works on a surprising number of important mechanics
I can only assume Blizz haven't noticed it's useful yet; that's the only explanation for why it still works on things
hahaha, well they are buffing us in 9.0.5 let's just hope they dont notice and nerf it xD
also i like that is unique to warriors
#NOFUN zone
warriors may only use aa and shield block from 9.0.5
honestly wouldn't surprise me
aa ?
auto attackk
oh right xD
Also stands for ancient aftershock here lol
welcome 😛
It's ok, take a lap
🏃♂️
i'm so exited about the new changes in leggos but at the same time i dont have soulash for them 😦
SO is it safe to reroll Necrolord at this point
Wait until it drops?
^
i don't know, i'm prob staying in kyrian i like my spear and potion too much
but yeah, i change from venthyr literally a 10 days ago and i'm already capped at renown
You can just spam heroics
And zoom
And catch up
And make tons of gold from the augment runes you'll get
and plus, Necro is only gonna be really worth it if you specifically play around it
Kyrian + NF will be better for the average person still
i'm pretty sure you can even do it faster, since i dont even tried to farm it, like i did some m+ (for vault mostly) , mythic raid prog, questing, and that's it
that's also true, like if in your raid are going to really use you as a necro (i think boomys are the play here ??) it will be worth, othersie i dont think it is
Been eyeballing necro just for boosting my HPal and Rshm during progression
a healing tide pumped with banner
big ticks
we have boomies waiting for it
if my DPS want it they can pay me
I'm a RL who likes downing bosses 😛
lets be clear warrior is a simp tank that is garbage beside their raid utility, I'm only gearing it through mythic reclears for banner and next tier outherwise Id be on my monk or DH
how meaninful in numbers is teh CDR of Shield wall by using AM+TheWall lego?
I'd say just let em bid for it 😄
very meaningful
avg CD of 1:15 in raid
jesus christ
can push it lower if we pump rage
disagree but 🤷♂️
well now you added a whole new line
i dont want the rest of that

But also, TFW you think BrM or VDH is a gem in raid
Tank balance is closer than its been in previous Xpacs
5% steonk
for raiding
lol ok xd
yeah, reason of the high DH pop is only because 80 % of the ppl follows the meta blindly, but seriously i dont think there is an unbalance issues with tanking at least
i mean there are issues, but you can do most content with any tank yes
Although if it wasn't for the relative weakness of Fury/arms and havoc the tanks used for WF probably would've been Guardianx2

They're just too easy to keep alive
true
they're really good
and i dont want them to be cause i like to bully my druid friend
but here we are
i wouldnt call it issues, like an issue for me is the current state of "meele vs range" or the situation with some dps specs /classes hthat are really low in comparison
thats fair
there are..."differences"?
that might be a better word?
yeah i get your point though, there is always room for improvement, but i'm happy of how the things are going
things are headed in a good direction imo yeah
leaper should be a conduit
it could give us our one useful potency conduit!
althought not sure what i"d use it for beyond moving around maw faster.
Nah, would have been double DH
Mobility was too important for limits kill
Being able to reliably cross the gap to and from add platforms was huge for warrior and DH for WF
Even then, they still ended up with 2 warriors so
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
tru, dat RC somegud
Looking for the 9.0.5 buff, would it be better now to use UF instead of Rav for m+?
maybe, but not because of that buff
i think its mostly cause we'll be on AM now? And AM means more avatars so more claps
The UF rotation makes it kinda awkward to dump rage into revenge
Sure, but my damage
it has come to my attention that necrolord on prot is getting buffed
If UF is worth then i'll have to use devastator again instead of punish...rotation issues
reworked
you should be using devastator already tbh
hey guys 🙂 im new in the Tank gang and have a huge question i just swithced from roq main to preot warri cause i wanna play tank for my firends grp, we are all at like 1,5 rio
my question is :
due to the buffs in 9,0,5 what cov we should pick for prot warri ?
m+ content
its more attactive and in line with the others
anything u want
but not a mandatory pick
the thing is necrolord or kyr
i switched to NF because I'm a panda and i like being fat groot
Is this 10% aura buff just a flat 10% buff?
Nah,only applies to class abilities
So not counting autos, trinkets, enchants, etc
Like a 8 or 9% buff probs, still pretty huge
10% dmg/heal to abilities and 10% dmg/heal to dots and hots + 4% buff to TC
Doesnt seem like prot will keep up with other tank dps's even with the buff ;/
If my afflock is doing less DMG then me st I am legally allowed to flame them right?
For sure
Assuming you know them and you're joking around and not just being an asshole
I think with bsc reprisal and the 10% we will do basically like 20% more dmg as now
👀
I end like 3.1-3.8 on warrior depending on the dungeon
Excluding wake because I end that one at like 5k, haha
Guess I dont press revenge enough ;p
these changes will bring us more in line with other tanks
we wont be the PUMPERS like pally
but we'll be better
and we needed better so
is good
We'll be more in line with other tanks in damage, and I think on average tankier than most
^
Save for DH and Bear
Honestly maybe tankier than bear and DH but in different ways
Like obviously no one is ever going to be tankier than bear in incarn
But we'll be tankier on the pull for sure
What happens if you use new Reprisal as Arms/Fury w/o a shield? Do you still get Shield Block and are able to block with it? 
just want to say competitive wise m+ i think both dwarfs have huge advantage, even though i am horde
just, remove any debuff you want, straight up immune to some rare types
id think so
yeah dorf is OMEGA busted
i miss it
straight up fuckin IMMUNE to poision and bleed for X second
removes any thing u have and cant be re-applied
oh yeah, classic tbc and wrath, dorf pala and rogue
You probably get shield block but can't block w/o a shield, right?
no clue
my paladin got hacked and deleted because someone else was leveling it and he knew the password and i pissed him off
but the was literal 2005
u need a shield to block 99% sur
you'd have 100% block, but you'd be unable to block
does anyone knows if Evasive Lunge from council lord stravos can be blocked ?, since its came from your back i'm not sure D:
yes you can
you have to spin around fast enough
so that you're facing the charge
its very ez to fuck up
turn around too early and get meleed in the back 
turn around too late, also get meleed in the back
just hit 60 on my warrior and just wanted to ask if theres any specific secondary stat we want to stack or just go ilevel for prot? i know fury stacks haste bigtime but wasnt sure if prot would be the same?
Ilvl
ilvl is king. If you get to the point where you have multiple pieces at max ilvl you want Haste > vers >= Crit
Focus on haste and vers
gotcha thanks kira and halb
i guess chants and gems go to haste since its controllable yeah?
Is there a way to check on logs if a tank is facing away from the boss?
Yeah
so you have to face him, that feel really hard, i'm going to prog tonight for the 1st time in mythic and i was doing some research but that seems hard ithink D:
It is hard 😂. Once you get the timing though it’s like, nothing
How do you check?
Idk if you can just “check”. You could look at like blocks or parries maybe? Cause you can’t do those if you get hit in the back so
If he has 0 blocks or parries then that could be a sign
any news on m+ leggos after the changes go live? will reprisal be better for m+ or still go for thunderlords?
reprisal probably for defensives, and seismic for offense, or did any new change drop?
Did you see the aura buff @outer solstice
Nah, 10%
Yeah, but we can actually take hits without dying
Where are you seeing the 10% buff
wowhead
#news perhaps
For mythic+, is there a key level where we really start to fall off, or just consistently behind?
I don't understand the question
Consistently behind who?
Other tanks to the point of not getting invites.
I mean, people start doing meta invites stupidly low so that's a bad metric
the meta amplifies the difference between different classes specs giga
Everybody doesn't get invites there's literally thousands of people trying to play the game
kinda? I have zero problems pugging 15s on a pwar.
it's prob a sort of bell curve really, starts off low, gets highest around 16 keys, and then drops around 20s
Well, getting invites at any rate.
Run ur own key tanks are rare people will join
an 1800+ prot warrior prob gets lots of invites to the keys around their level
moreso than a 1300
Yeah, no problem pugging up in 16s and 17s, but I do get waitlisted by a pretty high percentage of groups
But you're not like "behind other tanks" , really
Aside from like DH and Bear, probably
And from what I've heard, fotm Vdhs are a pain in the ass to heal, lol
Good to hear.
they need healing?
bad ones do
aren't they like 80% BDK?
That's not true at all lol
well bad prot warriors die on pull...
