@jagged pier great video, thanks for sharing. look forward to see a reprisal key
cheers man, and yer will see maybe this weekend
does prot warriors have any slows they can use on mob packs to help kiting them?
TC
fear also gives u time to get our of range
if it's 1 or 2 you can also**hamstring
i do that to the 2 plague guys in plaguefall before stradama
The changes to Necrolord make them - at most - a competitive choice for organised content. Getting the most out of the banner effect will require heavy co-ordination that will be beyond most PUGs. So it may be a top choice for serious raiders and static M+ groups, but as an individual choice it probably won't match the other 3.
ah thunder clap slows, haha ๐
This heavy coordination meme again
has anyone done the math to see the breakpoint for banner v spear/aftershock
i mean its not a meme just poping it randomly will do nothing
or are we just guessing still
Does bloodlust require heavy coordination?
Is it heavy?
cause if u use it outside its pretty dog
Bloodlust also affects the whole party/raid, which the banner does not...
^^
You as a group use cooldowns at similar times naturally
and, to be honest, Mastery is one of those stats that is really variable in value. Haste tho, Haste is never bad.
And two nearest people isnโt difficult on the slightest. Mastery is bad for like elem and one or two others
and us tbh ๐คท
^^
Heavy coordination is just cope for 1200 of a secondary stat
im gunna be honest you looking it at it this way, your gunna loose a lot of value from banner in my opinion
Well anyway, the point is that Necrolord is not going to automagically spring to the very top of the pile for Warrior, let alone Protection Warrior
It might be competitive, on its own terms, in groups. But I doubt it's going to be overall outcompeting the others man-for-man.
Yes but this โunless you are in the MDI it will not be good. It is bad in pugs you need to coordinateโ is just daft.
Half of the people in PUGs can barely manage to press their abilities in the right order
what do you mean! im going necro tom ^.^
You'll excuse me if I'm cynical about their ability to use the banner effectively
Plka simping :/
yikes
That's fair vodrin, I will grant you
can't give good advice about necro unless I do it myself ^.^
else it's all speculation
True true
ill go necro and simp for my boomies ๐ข
Same
Sad days :/
it is what it is
Kinda glad im not in a top guild cos cba being banner bitch
honeslty i know ill like it more than ill hate it
so at the end, for reprisal we will use BSC+Rav+AM for m+ right? What about trinkets?
Guild wars already has a banner slave warrior getting weird nostalgia
Ya probably. Not much, if anything, changes trinket wise
Hey all
phail and decanter
ive got a question about the upgrade to necrolords on prot

Yeah?


is it good ?
Yessir

Its a lot better
decanter? i had it but the proc rate was very low
Probably the best one for organized content
does like 4% of my damage
โ๏ธ
I am stuck debating if I want to swap to necro, the kyrian vials are real nice but I often play with a dk or 2
hmmm
ok gotta get (again) decanter then
i mean the pvp us it pretty good
but ive got a mythic team so i could use the banner pretty well
Forget the dks, ideally you buff boomkins/mages
Buffing a dk on pull with army and lust might actually be better actually
mages? their damage isnt ignite heavy anymore tho?
Hmmm
Mastery can be good for mages on single target, but multi target it really falls off
Aye ^
icic
XD
Yes i have
Didn't they remove feral from the game after 8.3?
hey i play feral ;(
same
Feral fuckinh owns dude
I like the class don't get me wrong
im a big blaster feral hmu
I ain't sayin its bad, but its like a unicorn. You hear about it but never see one, ever
XD
The group I usually run with is unholy dk, bm hunter, aff lock and resto shammy so I am back and forth
They are just more rare then gordan Ramsey saying he likes the food I link him on Twitter
Feral is popping though
Dk+afflock mastery ๐
i normally have a boomy iwth me
Wait, does feral actually do damage?
Yeah
Yes dude
or a paladin
They slap
is mastery good for paladin ?
Yes
well then XD
Feral like one of the best melee specs
If balance wasn't as broken as it is then you'd see more ferals.
Feral is bad cos boomkin is good
I thought pally mastery was just consecration or is that only prot?
I had one in the +17 i did a whilรถe back and he only did 5k overall. ๐ฆ
Not so sure if win
howcome?
That's my opinion on it
Go for it ๐คท
Kyrian vials are nice on necrotic and general use
on the subject of trinkets, apparently there are some changes to trinkets on the PTR
but for raiding i think necro might be stronger ye?
If you're really feeling the necrolord then do it, worst case scenario you swap back and do a quick renown grind.
Probably stronger in raid
Atm i'm thinking about getting another coffe,why?
๐
Necro would probably be bad on sludgefist
I mean, go for it.
It will be a personal DPS loss but a groups DPS increase if you can line it up properly.
And it'll be good in raids.
same here, ending my night shift and ran out of energy drinks
yeah im gonan do a weakaura for the Banner
I'm really happy with Covenants right now tbh. They all have a place now.
thats gonna message x players "gather at Me" bla bla bla
a "get over here" emote haha
You go back to where you left off
oh really?
Because you gotta prove your "worth" or w/e.
Yea
so i dont loose progress
I have done every campaign to 36 on one toon
Renown/anima and all stay
It doesn't take as long as people say
At that covenant
interesting
o.o I haven't done one 36 even on one toon.
so its not like i loose all my progress?
If you do the first week's quests on a monday, you can do the 2nd week's on a tuesday and swap back quickly.
I tried then all as war
You have to start fresh on the new covenant, bjt the one you left keeps everything
who wants to amke the switch with me brothers
So while its 2 weeks, it wont feel "as bad" as it sounds
I'm probably swapping to NF tho. 
or Venthyr. ๐
@sweet summit thats great
I mean after 30 u basically have everything u need
And the rate at which u get them seems to be higher until u get closer to the current max
ok nice
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Mwahi not you too...
@neat dirge My warlock buddy swapped back to his original covenant and was able to get full renown catchup
is that you Karen?
U either simp for drama or u simp for theotar
IT IS DOOOOOOOOOOONE
Well, i got good news and bad news.
The good news is that I got reprisal implemented in simc.
The bad news is that It's around 5% better on ST than The Wall. (Depending on talents ofc)
@craggy portal dope
O dam
gonna be fun this week with so many covenant changes
oh
@ionic fern so its better then the wall?
Only if you can properly charge etc.
But it's iffy in raid fights.
Should be able to sim yourselves soon and see what comes up ahead.
I also fixed Venthyr APL so now you guys don't use IP above 80% HP and below 20%
Get that Condemn spam going
in raids
similar to legion destiny driver on how you use it?
We're also EU
SOOOOON. I made a PR for it but Melekus has to confirm it.
Hopefully on reset.
@neat dirge u ally ?
Sounds good, great work 
Horde
sad violin
imma do Thorgast before i swap Covenent
i need reprisal
and truth be told ive slacked on doing thorgast
O i need to do torghast this week :/
C H A D

Vic's a cool guy
thats what is there for
dont fuk it up like me
same with the dragon thingys in SoA
link ytube
u can stun them all and SR all the casts to do uber damage
@jagged pier plz link
yer 2 secs
ty
Ye the etherdivers or whatever
Talking about my thought process as its comes to tanking a dungeon
whats up with that bugged tick that flies in under the cliff in SD?
Anyone got tips on fastest renown catch-up Iโm spamming heroics did all raid LFR normal and heroic only at like 22
tag it before you pull anything else then it will aggro like normal
Idk irs just vibing under the floor
thanks!
It will aggro once u pull boss if youre too late anyway so no big deal
Do campaign?
ive had it bug out once, was really awkward to miss like .2 % at the end of the urn
@jagged pier ty
jake the god

i honestly cant wait to play prot next week
im excited again
having been given the chance to actually tank is super nice
Me: "Oh, can't wait for next week for the buffs and legendaries!!!"
NExt week:
F
What change?
the degrading thing
or was it the other way
@jagged pier oh shit u bri'ish
It used to be highest key completed in s1 -1, now its back to bfa formula
yus not that type tho
u wot
LUL
If you time your key though it's at the same level the next week, not degraded.
Oh right
hey i know this has been asked probs a lot of times but what follower will you use on 9.0.5
https://www.wowhead.com/blue-tracker/topic/us/894131
there's the latest info (3 days ago)
Follower?
soulbind*
Covenant?
nero
Emeni
M+ gives 135 valor points no matter what key lvl? wtf are they thinking? :D Gonna spam those low keys for Valor Cap on Day 1 lol.
ty
didn't they up the cap to 8750
do you need to get KSM on alts to upgrade the ilvl ot max
or if you get ksm on one
you get boost it on all?
๐ฎ
gearing alt new method
should be the case yea
run 50 m0
KSM is a feat so its acc wide
buy 226 gear

max cap is 8.75k, first week 5k valor cap
way better than when it was 1500 first week
you can intercept the ricocheting blade in the xav wing of theater of pain
hmmm... ricocheting blade ๐ค
What will be m+ go to covenant after patch?
What are the two best trinkets for prot
Reeeee
only really stand out trinkets
scale for days
scale, vintage, SLH, emitter, phial, decanter
pvp proc, pvp on use also Solid
Thunder lords is no longer the m+ leggo ??

i mean'
never was the m+ leggo
already was worth i was using it in the video ๐
but it does so little damage
wait
i am thinking of the damage it did for me as fury
4% of my damage ๐ค
bkdh?
was gunna say what do they know about prot warrior
ANyone here willing to log onto PTR for 5 minutes on necro warri?
everybloodknightdemonhunter
Everybody **
and even if it was everybody we havent been saying that been preference for months between the wall or thunderlords
what do u guys prio in defensive? IP or SB?
SB.
SB obviously
do SB help with magic dmg?
can someone point me in the direction of the new prot meta, with current 9.0.5 changes am i a necrolord buff bot with reprisal lego?
not at all ๐
thats why i thought ip is important xD
very rarely do you deal with pure magic damage
it is but you have spell reflect and IP for that, after all, you should know when magic dmg is coming
You can pretty freely take which ever Covenant.
Necrolord will reduce your personal DPS but improves your group overall damage.
And yes, Reprisal/The Wall would most likely be the legendaries you are looking to take in most contents.
So Iโve been running thunder lords for nothing ๐๐
So legs for reprisal ?
Can't wait to get reprisal in 2 days, it will def be something for M+. Hate when I jump on a group and I have to use 2 spells before before SB or my party dies ๐ ๐ ๐
yus
how r they swapping reprisal?
after charge or intervene, you get SB for 4 sec, 20 more rage and free Revenge
ahh cool
which is awesome, you charge a new pack, you already have your main defensive (aka SB) up and you have a revenge ready to get aggro + rage if you want to use on more revenge or IP
ye seems nice xD
can't wait to test it in my M+ keys
since I have wall 4 but only thunder lord 1 and have been tanking M+ with Wall
it;s nice but it misses the utility for every pack
ye i main fury so just have thunderlord low for m+
and we get a 10% aura buff dmg?
TBH I haven't been tanking a lot M+ in the beginning, that's why I was with only level 1 but in theory it's nice right ? If you go for Booming voice and use thunder lord, you use it so often in M+ that it should be good
rly? cool
Yes TL was perfectly fine to play
But it's gonna get obsolete with next patch
ah ok, so the reprisal is just taking its place I guess
If you go for dmg you play seismic, if you go for tanky you play reprisal
Oh my so i need to craft a new legendary again ๐
Si
I don't even have whirlwind on my bars ๐ ๐ ๐
Revenge
I didn't even know it was for revenge too omg ๐ I thought it was only for whirlwind ........................ ๐
@ionic fern for raid, if we go reprisal, we will go BSC instead of BV like m+ or not worth the dps over rage or havent checked it out yet?
BSC with reprisal
BSC ๐

Not sure if reprisal is good for Raid content, at least not where you have just a boss and no trash. The utility provided by The wall is much bigger in my opinion
Reprisal is better if you can charge weave
so sun's king
but it wouldnt kill trying it, i mean start pulling with charge, up your SB then swap aggro, when you're near to swap again, watch the timer before to intervene then charge, up SB, rinse and repeat
is this gonna make prot very good tank?
Shriekwing, hungering, sunking, artificer, sludge. slg? Sire?
i mean, its similar to how destiny's drive lego worked in legion
I dont even know what that is
Absolutely ๐
also i agree with wall still being better for raids anyway, not like you have a block deficit on any boss atm
But reprisal is more damage
cringe
And more damage = good
dead tank doesn't do dmg you know ๐
reprisal isn't bad for survivability
just personally have a handful of shield walls in raids is just too good
sire as a prot warr is a nightmare, swall there is godlike
you have almost 100% uptime on your SB when swapping with another tank, not sure that 20rage and 1 free revenge gonna make big difference in dps
~5%
yuge
Will we weaving charges and intervenes in mythic + now with reprisal Leggo?
BTW guys, what stats are you going for as protection warrior ? I really like haste and mastery but my sims show that mastery and haste stat weight are 0.65 while versa and crit are 0.75 and 0.98....
Hope i dont Kill to many meeleโs with Bad intervene timings ๐
It might be because of the diminishing returns, I have 26% haste without Into the Frey and 39% mastery. Ok thanks Erga
Highest iLvl, and if there's still a choice after that I aim for 20%ish Haste when using The Wall.
At least with haste and mastery items, I can be decent fury warr too ๐ ๐ ๐
really wish i did any content at all this week on my warrriot besides torghast
Really easy M+ week, try to do something
haven't touched a single key since that night i was getting hit with -100% damage and fucked the key
I did all 16 and a single 17 this week ๐
didn't really liked tanking in M+ before but this week, it was really nice one ๐
theatre of pain like 7 or something? trying to learn the routes and whatever and one random run, TOP and get to the disease part, its not being interupted or dispelled, we wipe multiple times
i'm confused why im doing literal 1-5 damage, dude quits next pull because we wont make timer, just 1 trash pack and 2 bosses
that was enough to make me never want to tank again, ever
was like that too, get a group of friends (guildies) and just push keys together
nope, they only used me for my tank spec and even if i did runs for them, they wouldnt do runs for me
does it matter what part u make reprisal on?
Legs give you more stat for 10ilvl higher ๐
the guy he appointed gm, his brother, one of the first thing he types to me is "now i know who to stay away from" and tries to tell me
is BIS tank trinket
nice cause i wanted make them on legs haha
almost like the dude is actively telling someone else "avoid this guy"
so, no, guild won't really work either
well, change the guild ๐
if you don't have friends in it, change it ๐ There are plenty of social or casual guilds that can take you in ๐
i did, don't worry, like any shit guild it fell apart the second the newest co-gm and gm got eachother geared
You start with like 12% mastery baseline and it scales slightly different
DR's only apply to the actual value gained not just raw%
scale buffed 
the trinket from dungeon?
yeah, tons of trinks got buffs
that's good to hear, i don't have many at a high ilvl, best is 210
Guys do you think that protection warrior NECROLORD will be the BIS covenant?

Thank you
i havent upgraded one single conduit with my stygia ๐ฆ
i have all at 226 ๐คท
didnt that cost like a gazillion stygia?
i mean u can get like one a day
i would put in an effort if i could target which one i would upgrade
atm im hoping for some catch up mechanic
potency conduits are gunna drop in raid at some point aren they?
Yea with 9.0.5 I think
Catchup will be at the latest in 9.1 frender
Cuz new ilvl cap thus new conduit drops skipping over the 226
Same here ๐
Yo guys !
hi
Someone know how much time we can stack shield blok ?
Ah 18 ok
just to know for the new legendary
this is universal across all tanks
what you guys think about 'reversal' rework ?
busted
Busted good?
ins't like exeptional legendary acros all tanka ctually ?
warrior tank can't come back in top tank meta m+ with this ?
who knows
why does it matter if we are at the top or not?
just play the class if u like it
people care too much about dumb shit
I care ๐ข
๐คก
I care^^, i'm just trying to snipe wich tank gon a be really good next season, i like this war change a lot
but depend on set also , we don't know them for now

i mean next season is like july august bit early to tell as there will be more changes before then
buff AM's already
vdh will be better as long as kiting meta remains a thing
Yeah , the change on Vdh look like a buff
Pwar will just be more in-line with everything else
meta nerf gonna be so bad
in raid at all or just M+? I just made a prot war so first legendary will be tonight
Bears don't really kite
And they're doing 25s aswell

yeah but bears are animals so
xd
I keep forgetting bears are the only tank that can facetank
I have yet to see a bear tank lol
what do u mean only tank 
I mean
most tanks I've seen have to kite after a few seconds once their cds are up
I've heard bear tanks can just stand still
Coming from a guild with mostly bear tanks, they absolutely have to kite
That is helpful thanks. Can you see using reprisal at all in raids? Just seems like a lot of work to proc it vice the wall always being of value
can have its moments
in CN pretty hard to use imo
bear has the best defensive sustain atm
รฎs it just me or do we get unnormal ammount of dmg in plaguefall ?
at what ilvl?
kk
I mean I had to kite in a mist 10 and hoa 10 at 202 ilvl...
you can't say just very few tanks kite it's not true
ofc you stop kiting if you completely overgear the content
Lots of magic debuffs/hits. Itโs probably one of the worst dungeons for prot even if you play everything with plagueborers
I don't kite as well on my 225 geared main
my paladin at 219 does have to kite quite a bit in an 18. but that's paladin for ya
There's a lot of non blockable damage there.
tip for plaguefall: always bring a poison and disease dispel or you'll not have fun
Just leveled a prot war, think with the valor changes will make gearing through dungeons manageable or should I just run RBGs as Arms?
Both
the answer's always been both
im so tempted to go venth and do some more RBGs as arms rn ๐
it's just dungeons are now a bigger part and better esp if you don't wanna pvp
venthyr pvp is meh
Fair enough. I'm comfortable enough doing it in dungeons and I want my first lego to be for prot not Arms for RBS
rbgs
Gearing through valor is useless
It's only good to upgrade gear from 210 to 220
Anything else is absolutely impossible
you're impossible
And yet he still exists!
Oh, maybe i'll finally hit 220 then.
just like the valor system?

its good for alts, nobody gives a fuck about 220ilvl on main
i mean the valor trickle is super slow
its too slow
your main source of gearing is still valult + pvp
*vault
you use valor to fill in gaps
and with the stupid 1500 wallet cap you cant spend before you get something worth upgrading. so yeah, fill the gaps (most likely a trinket)
oh ok
it got removed afaik
it's good to fill slots, personally I've still got a couple that 220 would be p nice
@cobalt oxide well, ye, if somebody doing only m+, guess he can use some 220 still, but most of the people are already 220/226
I've got loads it'll help with. Gotta remember if you're hitting over 15 you're still in the minority of players
well, you also need to hit all 15 timed before you can even upgrade to 220
so, this wont help ppl stucked at 10-14 keys
yup 213
It'll help a chunk. We're planning through cn hc once a week, and doing 10-14 and even to 213 will be useful for people who've had unlucky vaults, bad trinkets (184 scale still). It'll defo help my group patch the gaps that'll help us over the 15 line
my main is 221 avg and I've still got plenty of slots at 210/213
valor system isn't really doing anything this season, will help out come 9.1.
It's just nice getting it earlier
im just tunnel visioning on getting a real ilvl on a scale
was using 184 until 220 vintage finally dropped
In my m+ group one player hasn't touched raiding and is like 224-225 somehting out of solely vault and 1800. PVP will be less mandatory and you'll just gear faster next season with Conq and Valor loot
isn't vintage kinda just a shit scale?
I guess
but like 184 scale vs 207 vintage? nah scale for sure
str diff going 184 to 220 felt Worth
that's fair
Vintage is (arguablly) a better raid trinket than BSS. For M+, I'd take BSS any day
assuming equal ilvl
Assuming equal item level assumes bss actually drops.
I'm accepting I'm dumping a lot of valor into the 184 I'll spend the next week farming.
When you guys talk about gearin in pvp are you going arms for arena/RBGs or Prot in RBGS?
Well how do you plan to gear up as alt, when 3ilvl upgrade costs 250-1k valor
Arms arena personally

go arms and swing in rbg/arena whatever you fancy
@strong forum you play that alt ?
prot pvp is poopy, guardian/dh does it better
we still don't know how much valor drops from keys
its not useless, it is useless for this season
that's the major factor here
Valor for alts works if youre doing like +9 weeklies on that alt and want to round those GV picsk to 220 ๐
50 valor is per calling
Next season cap starts at 750 increasing 750 per week right, and upgrading gear 3ilvl costs 250-1000.
How is that useful
how is it not?
3ilvl on 1 piece
Damn, I made a prot war as an alt from my DK. thought they might be better in RBGs than BDK ๐ฆ
For 1-2 weeks worth of currency
its lit one m raid ilvl per week + 1 upgrade
How is that good
it is just extra item every 1-2 weeks, why still whining about everything
u still get vault item
your in the same boat as your main. you round off 2-3 items a few ilvls. no way your going all the way from, idk, 190 to 220 on multiple item slots
ppl whining about shit ilvl and not doing raid nor PVP
It's absolutely useless, since you don't want to upgrade low gear
great vault will make for some really feelsbad moments with valor
The worst part of Valor is the item you want actually has to drop..
u can get 2 gud items a week, one 226 vault and a 220 upgrade
having ksm u can upgrade to 220
if I get 210 phial, I will be glad, that I can upgrade it to 220, thatยดs it
For alts
it's ok
Valor is terrible
valor will be fixed in 9.3 after they learn what made it good in tbc
your gearing the same way as now. aim for 1600/1800, grind those conquests. focus valor on 1-2 trinkets. maybe weapon if 1800 rating isnt happening
tbh in the current iteration
valor should just give you an extra roll on great vault
at varying point levels to determine ilvl
or allow you to spend valor on pvp gear :^)
spend 4k valor roll on a 226 item
They should've made it the exact same way as conquest
u cant get to 226 with valor tho right?
or like conquest ye
its legit 220
i mean a 220 phial would be good
and a 220 scale
as im still to get one
Yes 1 singular item

nah, they should do the pvp treatment and have the upgrades in bulk. x->200->207->213->220
But the intended way for valor was that you can effectively gear from m+
Which you can't
Even with valor in place
its not?
it's worse than wrath valor
You need KSM and the max ilvl from m+ before you start thinking about using the valor to upgrade an item
it's like
KSM is acc wide
Got a question. Should i mage Reprisal legendary on Leg slot or on the feet?
make*
leg
legs
ty โค๏ธ
Left leg
๐ฆต
then you couldn't upgrade items from keys in between those brackets like 210's from 15's
i wasnt clear: have it within the range: 200-206 ilvl? upgrade once and it bumps you to 207
then you'd have to pay the same amount to get a 203 item to 207 as you would a 200 item
Yeah you have to upgrade twice to get from 200 to 207 iirc
Which is 500-2000 valor already
not twice
As it should be
why
It's too expensive currently
4 steps vs 12 makes 0 difference if the total price remains the same
It's still come out to the same total Valor regardless of number of steps
its silly seeing 1/12 when you start off
its stupid and unrewarding bumping 1x item 3 ilvls
4 steps just makes it so you'd never want a 210 item and instead farm 13/14 for 207's
1/12 is like the lowest variant, M+2 ? :\
in pvp i go 200->207 etc
M0 is 184
what goyim, you don't like getting 50 valor per dungeon when you need 1500 for an upgrade?? :^)))
yeah ofc you skip the low shit if youre farming. probably worth farming anyting 7+ for your item since the base is 200 then
no one knows how much valor we get per dungeon, stop spreading falsehoods
Even then
Have they determined whether or not the valor upgrades tied to achievements are account wide? Needing KSM for 220 upgrades seems super off
Valor system is shit. Good theorical solution, badly came to live. Imagine you were farming valor points to upgrade your weapon for 2394293 weeks. Finally you can upgrade to 220 and the next week you got a weapon 226 in the Vault. Nice..
it's not a falsehood dummy, it's an exaggeration
It's how it is
KSM is accwide
Even 100 is not enough valor
i think that's a target number for keeping m+ alive when everyone's geared out the ass
and missing 1 piece
or 2
So Keystone Explorer/Conqueror/Master will allow me to upgrade my gear with valor up to 220 on alts?
Yea, for an exceedingly high amount of valor
but that would mean it would actively feel bad to get a 203 item cuz you pay the same amount as you would for a 200 to get to 207
and if you didn't have to pay the same amount then that's just the 12 steps we started with
for me personally, drop 210 vial is worse, than drop 210 and upgrade it to 220 for 1200 valor
๐คฆ
dream scenario would be if valor upgrading was just like the conquest cost for the base tiem. 1 weeks worth of allowance to go to your max unlocked on ring/cloak/neck etc
That's not the point
well it is, it is extra way, how to make one more item
would you think the costs are exceedingly high if 15's dropped 250 valor? or 500?
thatยดs it, could be better, of course
You're entirely missing the point intentionally Craetos
not 9.0.5, 5k as first week
Who cares about 9.0.5
well, who knows, how valor will work in 9.1, right ?
5k as first week but you're only allowed to hold 1500 at a time
it's uncapped isnt it?
current ptr tooltips suggest the cap might not be 750, look at the most recent post on wowhead
even now, we dont know about 9.0.5 for sure and you caring about 9.1 ??
if u are complaing for 9.1 then u should go to blizzard feedback not pro warrior discord chat lol
they lit changed the wallet cap in ptr yesterday
or its a bug but could be a chang
Considering there's no blue post I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bug
blueposts sometimes are missing lots of things tbh
it's not uncommon for them to update sth and then put out a blue post about it a day or two later
im unsure if this is a change as the inicial point they wanted the cap
so we don't know yet
there is trinket buffs too
So guys a quick question: starting wednsday should necrolord covenant be a โmust haveโ or a โits the better one but you can still do well on kyrian โ?
Has there been an event in WoW history where they drop a glaringly massive change to a system without saying anything about it
and not on bluepost
@grizzled mauve Neither
it is situationally good, not bis
its not a big system, its more for the m+ players than the general tbh
open world ilvl scaling in legion
tank threat change in bfa beta
and more than a fix than a cure
as a cure imo would be +20 = same raid gear, but its debatible about how this balance M raiding
Necrolord is going from "Inting your character by playing it" to "able to use it without being rightfully bullied"
Nah we still have the right to bully you for playing necro tbh
Maybe guys, im bit confused on new leggo that proc SB, it will be better than the wall?
u bully cuz u envy of the tmog kekw
I play m+
for m+ yes
A covenant ability which solely exists to make your dps stronger (and that's only based on certain classes) and the buff is affected by diminishing returns? lmao
Yeah youll play reprisal in most dungeons
DoS u would use wall
still a big snapshot for mastery classes
Probably
I mean honestly
NEcrolords issue is that Warriors covs are very good
and going from unplayable to "usable" isnt enough
i think it'll be better than usable, but that depends on practical scenarios
still think kyrian is the overall best
pot just too good
Its potentially the best option
but when you bring group utility that's a whole other story
But it kinda depends on whos playing and who youre buffing
mwahi summed it up perfectly in the pin, if you're playing with an organized group, it will be very good
yeah it's a big snapshot for mastery classes which doesn't really help you
yeah lol, not like mastery is complete dogshit for warr
you got your little pocket BoM
conduit and soulbind give you str with it though right?
Yeas
yeah
about the new banner how does it work as the other player part, does he need to be near me all the time, or i can leap to him use banner and charge back?
It helps you but not as much as the other 3 do
Think soulbind also gives mainstat to the other two as well but im not sure
Snapshots on cast
that's quite nice.
Yeet and retreat
gucci
not to mention it'll get worse as tiers go on because DR will affect it more and more
doesn't it ignore forced movement for your character too?
its a stat not %
i mean if it gets bad in later tiers you simply switch to your previous covenant
its 400mastery not like 10% mastery
when you return to your previous cov you retain everything
do 3 quests monday, do 3 quests tuesday, you're back in, nothing lost
Any raw secondary values are affected by the DR
If you are to break the thresholds
Banner plays into it, any trinket proc
Stat DR isnt that heavy rn so its not something to worry about
I get that you dont like banner, so dont play it
But dont tell people its bad
he can still call banner bad for 24 more hours 
gotem

(for NAfriends only)
is prot dmg getting anywhere near dh?
Should
Nah
Wdym nah
wut
Really?
With the buffs I think pwar will do same dmg as dh
prot warrior vs fiery brand build is no longer massive gap, but need someone to do math not just feefees
Oh alight
Fair
so we could even see prot in mdi lol
No
spirit bomb lmao
Immo aura conduit got nerfed didnt it?
Cuz vdh still has meta and spb
Vdh is still better than pwar, I'd be surprised if they weren't
And in mdi setting especially
what does it mean?
Cuz of feldev, spb meta and cheat death
The two closest alles to you as you cast it get and keep the buff
^
I imagine you use banner then charge
Or just leap out to said targets, then charge back in yes
problem is maintining threat vs a big moonkin convking with buff
Depends on who youre buffing
Eh, aggro isn't an issue

At all
Especially since convoke is mainly ST dmg
It's not huge aoe burst
Is it going to be Emeni or Heirmir?
Emennenmnni
just me that had an issue with invisible volcanoes this week?
If I mismanage my CDs like Avatar Spear and Ravager then yeah I'll have issues with agro. But so would any other class
Mages popping combust and going full aoe bangarang doe
Has not been an issue for me ever
I always charge without using taunt, then my moonkin convoke and steal aggro, then I taunt. I'm scared of charge with taunt, he convokes and steal aggro while my taunt is on cd and he is dead
@orchid frigate change ur graphics, to some high then go back to ur normal
You generate 400% more aggro during taunt
because Nome is a big boi
Use it often.
i had 0 volcanos
Ive had more issues with Ret Pallies going ham than fire mages
changed and it showed i wasnt seeing ranged ones,
This
every 4 mins they become powerful
Fire mages typically only rip agro off one mob
Charge while taunt, avatar shield slam and moonkin convoke, steals my aggro. Have been there
rolf
but they can live it with aggro
reminds me on my futile attempts to keep aggro on my undergeared guardian with a rpala friend that is decently geared for the dungoen we were doing ๐ฆ
they have bubble too
Its because Rets are in melee so when they go ham they generally die before we can taunt back
Good ret Pallies just bop themselves when they know they have big burst ready to roll
๐ โฟ
That's when you pull out the ol' "what did we learn?"
Heroic leap and taunt again
@sweet summit I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying it's not strong enough that you should switch from another covenant
oh ok. will try ty!
you do any organized raiding at all?
yus
sounds like raiding to me
just sayin t hat's where the redesigned banner will shine
switched to necro - whats the quickest way people have found to farm renown?
m+
if anything ill fo NF for the DAMAGE
do the story, spam keys

and always do the story when available
I switched yesterday to prepare, currently 16
Simps
oh it can be
i want necro just for mog
@crisp estuary i don't know if this is a real thing, but it seems like if I do the chapter quests as they come up the renown grind goes faster
spam M+ and lfr if u are patient enough i got 8 renow from lfr 10 bosses, and when its missing 9lvl(from the campain) u can do campaing as a whole
i tried first 2 wings of LFR and only got 2 renown
not necessarily not worth since it's pretty fast but still
yeah
its not 100%
my friend got 3 lvls of renow while i got 8
rolf wowhead post that necro is da best
the only guaranteed reknown is covenant quests and campaign the rest is random drop chance
For Mueh'zala's Master of Death, can you just straight up stand in one hit w/ Spell Reflect and take no damage?
or does it just negate the after dot
it deflects the whole thing
just dodge it and reflect soulcrusher instead
sooooooo uh is it tuesday yet
โ๏ธ
it says p clearly its the best for group performance if in coordinated team. thats true no?
yeah, looking over the SR miniguide now
thats true, yeah
just go kyrian/nf if youre pugging tbh
Necrolord is the best overall group DPS increase if you're playing with decent people and preferably on comms to line up banner with CD's.
If you're pugging you are better off with Kyrian/NF more than likely for the personal gains.
is there any confirmed max range for banner
or is it just two closes allies to infinity
15 yards
its time
wings intensify
lol
p sure mastery contributes like no dmg to hpals tho right
for most healers it doesn't
i think thats the joke waat
Its hps increase
it will be funny if in the new raid theres no way u can abuse it or use it properly as bliz has seen the potential already
lul
ur the joke!
yeah thats the joke
you can still just leap out to a pair of boomies while the other tank holds boss
people said the same about PI, now look at us D:
New meta for prot warriors.
Leaper Legendary + Necro so we can kite and buff our groups damage.
๐
but PI u dont need to move
what if u have to stay withing 10 yards of you cor tank the whole time
๐คท
Warcraft logs gonna make a special flag for dps that receive PI and banner
