You can SR the scythe on the last boss of ToP
I know, and it’s great 🙂
I hate this game
I was about to say, dem ice shards be blockable
I just don’t know what I realistically can do to mitagate dam intake on that last boss in halls
My dk eats that boss for breakfast, but my warrior gets suckered punched
Spam IP😎
just dont die 4Head
: ^)
is reprisal good for raiding?
"Reprisal is a DPS increase over The Wall if you can utilise Intervene/Charge properly.
Yes, it can be good in Raid fights that allow this kind of movement."
I might just steal some VDH tattoos or something; absolute crap they have like 20% DR baseline
Anyone got a resource for good routes aside from raider io?
You should be yer
You should nake your own helps u uderstand a lot more tbh
use raider.io to change it into something you like. what also helps is to talk to people you play often with. I play with a demo lock for example, so some pulls have to be different or work better differently.
ask away my dude
With reprisal in m+, do you think i'ts better to play anger manage, and put haste/versa to get 100% uptime OR play Bolster/Heavy and put crit/mastery stat
Stats dont change with reprisal still haste vers after ilvl
Why play haste ?
And u play am you dont need the block
Because its our best stat
More rage
Lower cd on sheild block
Haste OP
I don't think so actually, i get more overall damage with crit/mastery stat and i got 100% uptime on shield wall (cause i play bolster), and with the Last stand conduit, i'ts even more rage evry 2 minutes
Haste is rage, Slam resets, which is more rage, shorter SB CD and a few more
Since we don't play Unstopable force, i don't knowif AM is so good
UF is horrible
Well thats impressive to 100% uptime on shield block as u need 166% haste to get that 🤔
Can i see you logs?
Less with bolster ^^
Yes but before the patch with bolster u couldnt get 100%
Yeah
So im very curious to see the logs
Interv on cooldown + charge on cooldown
Of 100% as he claims
And even then... Haste is still OP
yeah :/
Haste is still the best
Still like to see the log
Not so important I'd say vers for defense, crit for offense
anything that looks physical?
ic
i get you some log next instance i do
Good example for a non autohit you want to block is overwhelm on hungering destroyer
I use these or dratnos and later I change them for my grp. After we ran the dungeon a few times I make one off my own.
Step by step 😎
wait when you deflect blood price
do you still get picked up?
or do you just refelct the damage back
u can reflect blood price
ye do you still get picked up by it?
yes
switched to Venthyr last night, now im kinda thinking i should have finished KSM on Kyrian before switching 😄
how strong is Condemn tho? Is it prio over Revenge on 2 targets?
will make zxero difference
u dont use it in aoe
ye but aoe is 3+?
i mean condemn hits on target and only reduces the damage from that target
but i guess Revenge is more Rage worth in 2 targets?
hmm tru, but revenge reduces no dmg at all 😄
Condemn also hits hard tho
Condem refunds rage to cheese Anger Management faster?
good point 🙂
my guy
you realize
that AM is big dam
right?
Well that sucks
nah Griff dont be silly stats do more damage than AM
No fun zone

u right more avatars is in fact less damage

Do we use the last stang +rage conduit?
That +avatar +booming voice while spamming condem burst hard right?
Dunno personally since im kyrian running better served cold
I do
big dam
Literally just use it as an offensive CD most of the time tbh
What happened to the bsc sucks bv is love bv is life spam here a month ago
because our leggo changes
Reprisal happened
Reprisal means we no longer need to spec so defensively
so what does the talent tree look like now with reprisal?
deva/Dt/Rav/AM
asking for my brother who switched to his kyrian warrior now for our m+ team ^^
hey guys, sorry for bothering. Guess ppl asked already 1000 times. Which cov is atm the most benefitial for prot? I was playing venth as hybrit. I thought i might want to play dps at somepoint but it changed.
since he apparently cba to ask himself 😛

❤️
Can you block while casting door of shadows? (For the double charge)
Don't think so
so we go for full haste/versa stats or we go for example something like 20% haste ?
no caps
we go ilvl
after ilvl ofc "D
haste vers
Theres no magic %

120% haste best haste
sleep is better served cold
Actually true
Actually 166% i th
If reprisal makes us shield blocky enough that we can choose dps talents, cant we also start choosing dps stats?
Or is that too big brain?
haste is dps too doe
I read here crit/mastery if pump town stats
So what is better wearing arms gear with defensive talents or offensive talents woth pvp gear 🤔
Someone please make a youtube video on that i will watch it 5 times and subscribe to your channel and even click the little bell
Haste sims pretty high for me
If you wanna pump haste/crit
Vers and mastery sim the lowest for me
for a starting prot warrior, what stats should i craft on my reprisal, haste vers? also what slot?
haste/vers - legs gives most main stat and is generally the best choice unless youre doing mythic Stone Legion Generals any time soon
i assume the wowhead guide is written by a big brain from here? just checking if i can trust it 😄
Not sure who wrote it actually but probably : s
oh damn the protection warrior life pugging 15+ keys is awful
I thought its bad
but its worse
how so?
taking hours to get accepted to a key
yeah if youre lower in rio (or around 15s in io) its defo hard - especially for certain keys with good drops for valor upgrades
i feel like its more of a valor/rio thing than class tbh
i get invited to higher keys despite not a super high rio
more and more people are running warrs now
are you not getting accepted at all, or are you not getting accepted immediately
The icy veins guide is
at all
because there's a difference
i mean I usually dont pug so i didnt really know what to expect but this is an awful experience and I was thinking i'd probably get way easier into groups than others
any specific dgs youre applying to?
Yep that's one of the current wow problems... You sometimes can't even play
And your references are 2000% overkill for any +15
Even the top players like nerf, lepan, etc are pugging into 15s this week between valor, tyranical, storming its a pugs paradise
you see 600rio people with 18 keys because theyve gotten super carried in their MoTSs and shit
this week for them is like +7+++ > +10++ > +12+++ >
tbh, that happened to me as well
here I am with mah team filled with +18 keys
whereas we are only comfortable doing 15-16s max
we gon try 18 mists this tuesday, but probably throw them down to 15's and 16's
youll get whatever your highest key (done) was
Even without valor it would be bad this week for people playing in the 15 range normally
Blame blizzard for cancer weeks
Didn't they just change that?
I cant decide covenant for my new warr XD please advice :D:D
kyrian best defensively, NF best AoE damage, venthyr best ST, necro best for organised group play
NF is also very fun to use, soulshspe blink is amazing
oh okok
nice
Community perception is weird
I bet you're not planning to do MDI?
We're viable for all mhytic raid bosses and most of m+
the same i think!
We might need to work a tad harder though
do you have a suggested plater profile?
Can you use Raidbots for siming Tanks?
Tank dps
Yes
Tank mitigation simming is a crazy beast even for experienced theorycrafters
do we use victory rush often in dungeons?
I use it every time it is up. Pressure off the healer and it is free.
Is reprisal still BiS ?
you can hardly play around it in raids tho
u can
Is it worth in raid over the wall even? Or is that a fight by fight decision?
so in my friday run where i was running around and charging for dps no defensive and only all fights i had more blocked hits than unmitigated hits over 70% on a lot of them without tracking it or trying very hard
its mostly a fight by fight decision. current statistics would tell you that reprisal is the better legendary for dps by a huge margin, but that's very deceptive because if you look into those logs, thats (1) very few outliers who also (2) dump all their rage in revenge anyway
so there arent enough logs to control for all variables for robust statistics
Yeah. Like I feel it’s hard to make decisions atm as I’m newer to prot. Feel very squishy on certain fights, wish there was a way to track mitigated damage via % like you can with dps and hps
On Warcraft logs I mean
there is
there is
i mean take your log
I know you can see like blocked hits and absorbed damage etc. But is there a way you can see how you do there vs similar ilvl tanks?
find 1 and look ar their log
there is no statistic for it if thats what you mean
Yeah I tried that, but how do I find a log that has a tank that is playing we defensively? 😂. Looking at high parsing warriors is wonky surely cos they will prolly be dumping all their rage into offensives
but the metric is also not as clear cut as lets say dps
and
absolutely minizing damage intake sounds like a very honorable goal but in the end you need to kill a boss not survive it
anyway
damage taken -> mitigated / DTPS
BV over DR?
and then i suggest you look at "EHRPS"
which is external healing required per second
effectively a better metric to compare inbetween tanks as well
BSC with reprisal/seismic>BV with anything else
man, I just depleted a +15 plaguefall because I played so badly, its almost funny so bad
I titled half way, and I played even worse
Thats a pretty good metric for me to use there notjd. Thanks man. I get that you need to do boss damage to kill it. But if I’m feeling squishy and dying on pulls, clearly need to sort my defensive game out haha
Hello, is it me or reprisal isnt doing the revenge! properly?
wdym
i cant see it doing damage
^
oooh i see, dumb me
Revenge! is the buff that makes Revenge free
@sleek echo there is also this compare tool
where you could for example take your log and another, select both prot warriors and compare stuff like shield block uptime side by side
Yeah, but how do I decide what is a good log to compare to? 😂😂 cos all the top logs will just be pumping rage into revenge? 😂
thats really hard to tell beause a tank taking little to no damage could just .. you know ... not tank, stand around and do nothing
You guys playing AM or bolster with reprisal ? 🤔
am
Still ravager i assume ?
ya
Thank you ! :)
yeah, i think im asking for an impossible thing XD i just want to know why i feel like im made of paper in raid but m+ im big chilling 😛
hi guys quick question about the necrolord banner, does it only buff 2 people in your party or 2 people in your raid, like even if a person is in party 2 they can still get banner buff?
you +2 closest allies regardless of group/raid or not
what macro if any do you use for intervene? click player and click intervene, or are there @ player macros where u click them and intevene
or use mouse over on party frame
thank you!
I use mouseover and nearest friendly playe
/cast [@sinful boltover] intervene
actually have two intervene buttons. a second one for @targettarget
ideally i guess you want the dk/boomkin/hunter to get the mastery buff yeah? can you like drop it pre pull while stacked with ranged then run in?

really strong with combustion
banner value sheet
its a real pain to manage in raids anyway
odds are you wont get it where you want it to be when you want it there past the first banner on pull
ahhh
I played it one week now, ill give it a second but ill probably switch back after that. i also really dont see it working on progress
coming back from DH because of Meta reasons.... it s just SO MUCH MORE FUN. every time i try a new tank i end up coming back to warrior. the feeling of having a button for every situation is just so satisfying. DK comes close to it but Warrior is just love 

ive been spoiled by playing dh tbh. my brain has turned to mush XD
Yeah DK is rly fun too but in my opinion its a little bit too reliant on perfect play
i feel you. it s coming back from a threebuttontank to a tank that requires active thinking about which button to press. But just 100000% more fun. also i met these great finish guys and with the new necrolord we are having a blast. It fits my idea of a tank more. Supporting your group with more damage. facetanking more. and don t forget... having a shield!
Yeah, its defo more fun, but i dont want to gimp my guilds progress by playing something im so much worse at 😄
but raidwise it s not thaaaat much of a difference to play prot isn t it?
i mostly feel it in m+. but i m still doing a lot of mistakes. so depleteing 1-2 17keys is more to my braindead play not prot 😄
If you're having more fun, focus on improving your play rather than stressing about not playing a different class imo
of for sure, im staring at my logs like an addict trying to figure out what i need to do better XD
How do yous deal with spread ranged adds, practically non casters?
Tbf pwarr is actually very strong in raid when played well.
if there's only one ranged add, stacks the melee mobs on top of it
if there's more than one stack up on one, and hope and pray the dps interrupt the other
just grip the add Kappa
😄
I've just started playing prot as a side alt, just found packs difficult if theres more than 1 or 2 ranged. Or even HoA second boss, but I guess thats likely down to DPS not interupting.
Hey guys so I’m new to prot mostly been arms and I’m now tanking H raid as the off tank and it really feels like I get hit super hard, are the guides on wowhead or icy veins good for getting the hang of it?
That's DPS being trigger happy; they'll run to the middle and bunch up reasonably if nobody hits them first
Maxed out thunderlord and now reprisal is best. I dont have much ash. Should i save for max level reprisal? Or change asap?
its better at rank 1
But they'll stand still and cast once they take damage
O shit. Werd?
you're using reprisal (and most legendaries) for the effect rather than the stats
nothing at 235 is close to the defensive value of reprisal at 190
Good to know. "And knowing is half the battle".
nah with repirsal its like 10% of the battle
Does it matter if I pick kyrian or NF? Checked Every guide but still not closer to decision hahaha! Any xpd warrior please tell me wtf to do haha
nf is big dam
Thank you❤
Just in m+ i assume your talking about?
yes
whats the go to soulbind for damage in m+? necrolrod
So nf is bis for fury and prot in m+?
They're all kinda close. Heirmir is probably the best. Forgeborne + Serrated Spaulding + Gemstone
so 0 potency?
Covenant really doesn't matter for prot, pick what you want
potency for prot seem kinda ass
I thought so, wanted to make sure
How is necro?
Yeah, I run 0 potency as Necro The 3rd endurance is kinda bleh too.
Necro is fine. Nothing to write home about. Fleshcraft is, to me, the better part instead of banner
it adds a 40% health shield yeah?
run a fixed group with a Unholy DK or a Boomkin and you will have new best friends with banner! 😄
banner is thematicly the best covenant ability for warrior imo
feels so good to use it
40% HP shield plus 20% DR during its channel. You can dodge/block/parry while channeling
that actually seems like a pretty good CD if you need to take less damage, right now im venthyr and it doesnt feel very useful for prot
ye example of beeing very good is madame vomit in plaguefall during her peperain
Warcraft chug jug! phials
je but i really have enough of kyrian with my DH 😄
Ja, that's fair
is Night Fae warrior good ?
Is it worth delaying ravager for avatar?
quite nice for m+
Was just about to ask this same question, glad i read back a ways 🙂
not really
I always forget to use ravager...need to work on that or go back to in the fray
hi guys i look on Raidbots if i play with BSC+ITF+AM i will do 3299 dps if i play BV+ITF+AM i wll do 3399 dps as Tank , i play with repisal and 223ilvl. so wich we choose?
are you looking at a single target sim?
yes patchwerk
sims dont take in intervening yet if i remeber
BV will always beat bsc on st
Anyone sitting on a weakaura alerting of Treants and Earth Ele?
Shit my self every time they pop them
and i loose aggro
the sim is not charging outside of opener
mwahi pushed an update i think
so should be updated soon ™️
Is phial as good for M+ damage as sims would have you believe
ya its very strong
Thanks
the apl is also dumping all rage in IP outside of execute if I'm reading this correctly
default_list -> add_action( this, "Ignore Pain", "if=target.health.pct>20&target.health.pct<80&covenant.venthyr,l```
wait a sec 

is there a major preference for feet vs legs for reprisal?
That is what i figured, but like to check
just to avoid overcapping rage
because you cant
eh?
above 20%
actions+=/ignore_pain,if=target.health.pct>20&!covenant.venthyr,line_cd=15
"!covenant.venthyr" means not covenant venthyr
actions+=/ignore_pain,if=target.health.pct>20&target.health.pct<80&covenant.venthyr,line_cd=15
thats for venthyr
but as you can see if you take a look at the APL, the only charge is at the start
so thats why reprisal+bsc is not simming properly
I dont quite understand when the sim's casting IP at all
Thats useful, i never knew that... probably been making tank life miserable on that fight for ages now 😅
@ionic fern enlighten us, please 
hey folks, could y'all provide any gearing feedback? just got KSM, so I gotta put my energy somewhere in m+ for valor gear.
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/us/illidan/warbonur
for all my keys I was running a 203 haste/crit ring instead of the glad ring for the much higher haste
nice, grats mate
first thing i notice is both vintage and scale. seems kinda overkill if you ask me
are you able to get 1.8k in pvp for 220 pvp gear?
that's next on the list
Maybe try and get anime field? And use instead of vintage?
who would use that trinket anyway
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/ryvjqmPcNY7TQwBt#fight=last&type=healing&source=2
trinks were very useful in my messy final 15 SD 😬
I have the 213 cheat death from sun king, 216 IQD
I think the current apl is trying to approxomate a real tanking environment?
I wrote a little tweak to the apl for my own use that just maximizes dps
#1 get 1.8k in pvp
#2 maw time, where are the sockets :/
#3 SLH/AFE/Insignia/a dps trinket like phial
I've been dragging my feet on anything more than than the venari weeklies, have the torghie mount and everything too... but sockets are on my list
thank you
open to suggestions on gear slots too
I entirely abandoned any sort of maw grind, just ain't worth it
Stupid question , but why does it feel like prot is much better vs lots of small hits rather than big single hits? Isn't shield block now a % decrease instead of a flat value?
its % based
i know it used to be a flat value so u could basically ignore small hits
but it still feels that way, maybe its in my head
lots of small hits feels smoother, easier to react to I guess?
IP is a flat value if that's what you're thinking of?
i think whats happening is quite the opposite
no, like a wotlk patch note for shield block says
" Shield Block now increases chance to block and amount blocked by 100% for 10 seconds. Cooldown increased to 60 seconds, rage cost reduced."
so it was an "amount" blocked
yea i dont mean its recent, lmao
wtf
And yes, current sim tries to emulate a rather realistic tanking environment
And not just pump 100% rage into revenge
im not entirely sure but looking into IP part of the class module someone needs to clear this shit up because not only are there still azerite effects but it even considers Vengeance (:
but maybe someone is still hoping for Vengeance to return
Enlighten about what?
we are confused about when the APL is actually casting IP
when the sim decides to use IP over revenge/execute/condemn
actions+=/ignore_pain,if=target.health.pct>20&!covenant.venthyr,line_cd=15```
basically it will IP every 15s it seems if not in execute?
If you're not Venthyr:
Cast it every ~15 seconds as long as the enemy is above 20% hp
If you're Venthyr:
Cast it every ~15 seconds as long as the enemy is above 20% HP and below 80% HP (e.g Condemn windows).
ohhhh thats what line_cd is
ok I was thinking with that logic it would just dump all rage into IP, but it doesnt because that line cant trigger more often than every 15s
Yeh, line_cd=15 means after 15 seconds.
if you want to optimize pure damage just change it to only SB if Shield_Slam is off CD and delete the IP line
ahh ok
You can't really tie it to Rage gain as it was before since it would skew the outcome..e.g if you do "Cast ip if you have 80+ Rage" then Ravager would cast it a ton more as it would provide more "burstier" rage over lets say ItF.
How about both? Cast if 80+ rage and cd=15?
I mean, what is the goal of casting it to simulate?
just to get rid of some rage to get a better approximation to a real scenario
Anyone sitting on a weakaura alerting of Treants and Earth Ele?
Shit my self every time they pop them
and i loose aggro
I'd probably set an enemy count thing there, where you do a lower CD on spamming it if above a certain rage amount given more enemies?
or if you have a general idea of how many IPs you cast in a fight you can just set the CD to mimic that for ST
Kyrian or necro for m+? I see recommendations on both
are you using plater?
You are a lifesaver!
cant promise that it works since I dont know what other mods you might be running that potentially conflict with this
hey - should i craft reprisal on legs or feet? i already have feets equiped with legendary.
Legs
Bcs?
Cool - thank you for the answer ❤️
Assuming ur not running BV, do you guys just user demo shout on CD or do you try to save it for the windows where ur SB isn't up?
ash is plentiful
if you're running your torgs weekly just craft whichever sims best
cause what gear you have available for those slots will swing
Pretty much just demo on cd still
and later you can move it to legs if you did boots early
Demo is not a substitute for sb
But are you guys running BSC with the new legendary?
Yes
Does anyone have an all in one IP wa that will show when in combat, glow/highlight if you have enough rage and isnt active and show the absorb amount when active?
wouldnt it be better to get reprisal on feet if generals drops 233 legs?
my thoughts ^
and the HC legs from general have 93 vers
Where i don't see a good candidate for some good feet
This tier ye
They're still only 220 ilvl which is a big nope
The mythic version, sure if you wanna re-craft reprisal next tier again 🤷♂️
But only very few people will have access to slg mythic legs
Must say reprisal is feeling pretty good, and my damage has been solid at the end of dungeons. You guys think this puts us fairly close to guardian now?
Definitely not better than VDH still or on prot pally levels of damage
We already were close to guardian?
I don’t feel like we’re close to guardian in survivability
Yeah I thought so also, but feel like they still got better uptime with iron fur and self heals
@strong forum we are progressing on generals atm, and will be down within a week or so. So they will be a potential drop in the near future.
I can't find a good alternative for some boots around in dungeons nor in raid. So i don't see why it's not making sense to craft in feet?
They get to be invincible once every 3 minutes, outside of that they don't have that much better survivability
If at all
Keep in mind
What soulbind/path are people using as necrolord? I'm having a bit of difficulty deciding between bonesmith/emeni and some of the final nodes
We are the equivalent of bear with one stack of ironfur WITHOUT shield block
Because again, not everybody has access to slg legs, and in 9.1 legendary ilvl will rise again.
If you wanna craft feet, craft feet, but in 9.1 you will have to recraft the leggo again
hard to say whats happening in 9.1. Maybe reprisal will be useless at that point. Only time will tell, but i hear what you're saying ❤️
ofc. first kill = legs
Why will reprisal be useless?
Well he's assuming he currently has crap feet and decent legs
How you get crap feet tho
Like both options in raid are haste

Oh wait loot drops suck this tier

our main raider fury warrior has been maxing m+ cache every week and killed council 4x
still only 220 weaps
LUL
meanwhile my trap alts all have 226 weaps
i think it'd be kinda cool if they made m+ GV similar to mythic raid GV
where the keys you run are where your loot can come from
let me run 10x DoS on my moonkin each week
or make it so slot 1 is your highest key, 2 is your 4th highest, 3 is your 10th
so you can fill out with other keys and target with the x highest
gets kinda weird if they're all 15s tho and you can't control em
What should haste be at with or without "Into The Fray"
Do i want to use condemn over ip whenever possible?( tanking my way to ksm, dps main)
In AoE, no.
On ST, yes.
Thank you!
There really isn't a set point of haste that you need.
In general most people are hovering around 20-25%
@ionic fern - Is that with or without "Into The Fray"?
Without.
Quick question, how good/useful is the anima field emitter trinket for prot warris?
Ran a M+ earlier with a mage boomy hunt, mage and boomy both knew how to maximise banner, was very very fun! Still thinking to maximise my own gameplay both as fury and prot i need to be NF tho 😦
It's a solid trinket but does require you to pay a bit more attention to your positioning when it procs if you're looking to get the maximum out of it.
Ok thanks
im a dps warr and was wondering how big was the reprisal changes were
i read that it made shield block have 99% uptime
nerfs on reprisal inc tho 😦
What nerfs?
wasnt there a nerf of the duration of SB from 6 to 4 seconds
You can still get 85%+ with Reprisal. 🙂
or something like that
That was already announced before the patch came out. It was a mistake that it went live with 6s in the first place.
They just hotfixed it now.
so even tho they tuned it down is prot any better relative to other tanks?
idk much about the tank meta
but im 90% sure that prot is like bottom 2-3?
Pwar is top3
But all tanks are great currently
So idk why you want an order
The only thing that's certain is that vdh is best
Everything else is pretty much "?"
Remember how dk ended up when 8.1 launched... Either way not much of a dh fan gameplay wise anyway.
Yeah
is pwar only top 3 as kyrian or are the other covs fine?
Any covenant
If bdk gets better i might make it 3rd alt, fun rotation and engaging
Now brew with war alt
dope
Then nothing matters
You will stomp that
Yeah
I am having tons of fun with reprisal, i really like the playstyle of being a racecar
I opened a M+ today with the full race car meme charge revenge intervene revenge IP Heroic Leap charge revenge
Group was like waddufak
what is spb?
spirit bomb
What soulbind you necros running in m+? emeni or heirmir?
eminem
so as a night fae you still go burrs correct? if so what 2 endurance conduits you run just unnerving focus and stalwart?
for keys specifically
holy crap is reprisal fun
what macro's are folks using for repirsal?
Mouseover macro
both a targetfriend and mouseover
In a boost run, Prot warrior is pumper man.
I usually just mouseover a melee in party frames. If they're all ranged I just find the closest one
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, harm, nodead, exists][harm, nodead, exists]Charge; [@mouseover, help, nodead, exists][help nodead, exists]Intervene; []Charge
heavy vers or heavy mastery for sludgefist prog? trying to stay smooth while being fisted by a large grey man
heavy haste
charm of eternal winter (45hast 130mast) any good? 200ilvl. got 203 crit/mast neck from mists in there
the haste neck
Anyone know a way to access this stat (screenshot from WoWAnalyzer) on warcraftlogs? I want to know how I did on all blockable damage, not just melees...
this is prolly behind a paywall
on wcl there is no way to really see how much % of hits you blocked
since IP also counts as mitigation towards the mitigated% in dmg taken
😦
So is reprisal still better than the wall for M+ even if it’s not used optimally? Like, even if all you do is just your initial charge on pull and don’t mess around with intervene and re-charging, etc. ... sometimes I just wanna be lazy lol
only thing you can do is check how much actual unmitigated dmg you took
am i right that with reprisal, you run:
3311231?
if you dont play around reprisal, its obv not gonna be better
Devastator
BSC
Indom
Ravager
AM
Forgive me if I'm uninformed, but isn't this what he's asking for?
those are the important ones
it doesnt show mitigated %, only total dmg
Ah, I misunderstood what he was asking for
and the metric itself is skewed
cuz if you block a hit, youre obv not gonna take nearly as much dmg as from a non blocked hit
yeah that's the thing
so when you say block 70% of the time, you very well might have an even dmg taken shown
between blocked and unblocked hits
even when blocking 70%
I just wasn’t sure how much the initial SB uptime and free revenge was worth — I imagine even if just used once per pack it’s still offering pretty significant rage gen and SB duration throughout the course of a dungeon
not nearly enough to beat the wall
if you dont even use reprisal to 20% of its power
I wondered if unstoppable force would be good in m+ or is ravager miles ahead?
UF does comparable dmg, but ravager is better QoL and more rage
okay sounds good, ty
Hello guys, im currently on sludgefist MM, and I am wondering what i should take on last talent, i saw a lot of war playing anger management but also some playing bolstering, do you guys have some advice for this boss? Thanks
Ok and reprisal is good here?
its very hard to make work
Yeah i see why :p ^^
am i currently trying it
Ok so safe play is to play old leg with bolster
Also how do intervene work if i do it on the other tank?
i take *2 dmg?
I think you take both hits
That should hit pretty hard
So maybe if he’s gonna die intervene and shield wall
im literally using reprisal right now and if u just want to mongo sleep go wall and bolster
legit last attempt
yer
what is the value without reprisal?
should be 70% or something like that, considering all moment in fight where u can just wait to use ur block
umm 70-80 i believe maybe higher
sludge doesnt melee very often
so if you have the timings down, you know where you dont need to use SB
yep ok, so maybe The Wall is better for the CD
i will try with bolster and see where it goes :p
Im not cool 😦
Sry im not english, what do u call UW?
unbreakable will, the legendary to give your group a 25% shieldwall
(im like 70% trolling, but you could technically pull that off on sludge and sludge alone)
Maybe if ur heal are really suffering ^^
the only real way to die on sludge before enrage is due to 1shots anyway so its also kinda irrelevant
☝️
how do we feel about using reprisal and bolster?
well given youre low ilvl i assume its not mythic, so it should be easy
overkill on block uptime
???
ok, im having a hard time trying to determine what my block uptime is
oh i misunderstood
i thought you said you were 190ilvl
but its your leggo thats at 190
my bad
what is the best way to determine block uptime?
checking logs / buffs
Nono its MM :p
anyone can help me take a look at my log real quick? It's a PF+12 and it was pretty smooth with a ++. Didn't feel like i struggled there but i want to know what i can do better to mitigate or increase my DPS. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/pDNcP24Gnd9LJT7h/#fight=last&type=summary&source=5
you definatly arent using repirsal correctly only 52% blocked
yeah really still learning the dance.
i might be charging through packs too which means they can hit me from behind?
yeah thats defo a bad thing to do
i should be aiming for 70-80%?
more like 70%
best i got was flat 80%
Nome said im perfect ill take it
link
hm
its prides that let me down
like i hgave nothing left after like the pack and i dont want to leap charge them cause ppl complain at me
as ive tried
ye im not charging for shit
yer but i cant your a lot better than me
but i love the playstyle so im forcing it on sludge and its not doing to badly
mh
i really need to do a mists
cuz ive done 0 pad dungeons this week
to compare
226 spike or 207 stone legion heraldry?
hmm Condemn hitting for avg 5.5k, revenge 1.5k .. so should i Condemn when theres 2 enemies?
revenge can reset ss but idk
so can Condemn tho
o true
On 2 targets defo condemn/execute but on 3 targets revenge is way more dmg per rage
Necro armor is so cool but condemn would be nice for offspec 🤔
If I was farming two trinkets to upgrade from M+ for prot MS fury OS what would you suggest? Thinking phial since it’s just so nice with revenge / TC
Or should I really be focusing on scale and forgo having multi spec trinks
Phial is amazing for raid
All of my raids will be pugs so not that fussed, most of my time is spent in M+
Then scale + anima emitter
Anima emitter that good?
I have both of those.. but at 184 
Mmm okay, might be super greedy and farm anima emitter and phial, I will likely not be going to much higher than 15s for a little while anyway so damage is king :p
If your already at 30% haste with into the fray is it still bis?
Secondly if you don’t mind, I saw people linking logs, I’m on a shitty laptop and don’t want to be logging every M+ to track block %, is that something that’s viewable in game via a damage tracker like details?
Alright so anima emitter and phial appreciate it
I'm at 41% haste with ITF
So yes, get more haste
only 33% 
Okay, I thought ITF was a Nono, whats our standard M+ build atm then?
41 the fuck lol alright
Why that number?
ahaa
makes logical sense
what level 50 talent are we running typically in M+?, im currently running anger management
ahh ty#
when looking at logs for block up time is it just melee you look at? Not sure where to find that information. New to WCL.
anyone got a good WA for pride tracking?
what's there to track
every 20% 
There's a WA floating around that tracks percent to pride as well as the current pull percentage
And the icon lights up when. The current pull will spawn pride
I want that
I went from not tanking to tanking 18s for my group so when im trying a new route thats suggested
I sometimes lose track of the pride timings a bit
not that 18s are special or anything but yea
is prot paladin better than prot warrior in mythic plus atm?
📰
Oh what soulbinds are NF prota playing atm
warrior is more tanky right?
Yes
Niya
Not koryan?
Burrs 📈
But for raid
Yes
Especially in raid
Like im tanking Sludge and my gear is very..fury
Doesn't matter
Gear this late into the patch shouldn't matter
Ehhhh i mean yeah
As long as you have higher ilvl than 215 you shouldn't have any struggles because of gear
Im mostly struggling cus my co tank
Cus its either a dh who lets me get double hit and chains me constantly. A pepega paladin, or a monk, but our monk is benched for the pepegapaladin
Any tips for last boss of ToP, just did it in a 18, timed it but every other cast that I couldnt spell reflect felt like I was going to die
Oh, on the last boss?
i usually spell reflect the 2nd one because it overlaps with the grasp/ads spawn
other than that i just make sure to pop a defensive
Yeah, I let the first one hit because there's no other damage going out and healer shouldn't have any issues topping me
Oh i just reflect spectral scythe
2nd usually overlaps with the pull
you can reflect every other yeah
Reflect the bad overlaps
Yah true
its a bit of a messy fight on tyrannical tbh
true true true true
Scale/sw/external on the ones you cant reflect
For ones where you can't reflect make sure you have something up
I miss psychic Shell. which is a big reason why i like monk so much
Yea
1 he just doesn’t care
2 he thinks he’s a god and knows what is happening
3 he jumps and movrs a fuckton
DHs that can't stand still are my biggest pet peeve
I want a 233 vintage >:)
Bench him lol
@sweet summit ty
ive never had a vintge
Cringe
is it good?
I complained to the raidleaders
I got a 226 scale so
Tell them i said bench him :^)
😄
ahhhhh
And does 0 damage
was it legs for reprisal?
yeye
(unless ur doing mythic SLG)
is it better to craft the new legendary to boots or pants?
my man
lmao
anyone have a weak aura for conqueror banner?
one i found on wago doesnt seem to work
This one should work
ah! that's the one I tried, but for some reason when just installing with no changes it isn't appearing for me
is it working for anyone else?
Check loading conditions
what is best food for Tank? Haste or Stam?
Haaaaaste
Stam is useless as consumable
Never food or flask for stam
Never never never
Yes, tanks got stam from feast for every expansion until 8.1
ah rip
Was actually so tedious
so lets say you have Feast, is Haste still better?
For every feast, you had to spec dps first eat food, then spec tank again
No, mainstat > secondary stat
okok
Feast is best food
ye makes sense
not usually feast for M+ tho 😄
invited a 220 hunter for a +2, and he popped flask and feast
he must have had too much money
Ye you rarely feast for m+
in those 2 days i did 4 +15 keys lol
need to push my key to do some more 😦
now im Venthyr... hope it wont be too much harder
ventyr is fine
Push your own keys around 15
Should be super easy to find great people depending on the dg
yea did scuff a Spires 15 run
so im back down to a 14 SD
but entirely my own fault, had a shit fuckin route
Now that the actual 4 second SBlock uptime in is effect, what kind of uptimes are you guys seeing from Reprisal, baring in mind not 100% perfect management of Intervening/Charging, and leaping out and back in to get maximum effect
70-75% but I'm not using charge while tanking mobs enough
nice so still pretty amazing
Ye its real good
@strong forum thanks you for help on WA! Also anyone else with issues with conqueror banner weak auras, make sure you've updated WA (if you're on an older version it won't work properly)
@fierce phoenix that banner WA only loads if you're in a group or dungeon.
hey just got back into playing warrior. is kyrian still best or do we roll necro now?
kyrian/NF are the safest all round. necro only worth in very coordinated groups
depnds on your comp a lot too
It looks like necro will be choice for mythic raiding environments
yeah i mainly just wanna tank m+
Did they buff the 2nd boss of hoA or something? have had groups struggling to get the adds down in time
a lot today
/ this week
Boss has always been rough on tyran
hm
it felt like they were tankier and knowing how blizzard
doesn't know how to do shit with fortified/tyranical
I wouldn't put it past them
still remember some mechanics scaling with fort and other with tyranical on the same boss in bfa
But with the boss just lasting longer, you will just get more adds
First adds always blow up cuz dps have their CDs ready, 2nd or 3rd adds ( if you get them) will naturally take longer
did my first 2 keys with reprisal. fuck, that is some good stuff
i forgot to use cooldowns entirely
What level was that?
16s both with 215ilvl
Oh, decent!
i know, kinda overgeared
still, that gameplay and tankyness, it's tasty af
I was gonna run signet for dps or thunderlord for a mix tho
Question on trinekts. I just got a 220 Sanguine Vintage. I also have a 210 (can upgrade to 220, waiting for reset) BSS, and a 213 Splintered Heart. I assume I run both on use trinkets. How should I use Sanguine? More for the absorb or more for the heal? Or just kinda whatever is needed atm?
i just need to get a feel for my SB uptime because i caped on it quite often
its value is in the absorb
if you're not taking enough damage to use up the absorb, chances are the healer can heal you anyway
btw, average 3.5k dps in m+, is that fine? (kyrian)
What's the thing that lest people cheat the mists maze?
Usually a brain
LOL BRAIN
Expandable, with more brain
epic funny
ive just seen some people run srtaight through it
without checking any pillars
you can do that with the first two or three
and the final
yeah and final
