2 pack DOS, Good kicks, and reflect and dont shy do use SW and its ez
That second pack is hell definitely hit SW for it
My problem is just the mage combusting on pull lol
Save ur aoe taunt for that pack then
that is literally on them
I go in with ravager , revenge/tc, spell reflect and its fine
Shockwave / kyrian spear
Does aoe taunt also give us triple threat gen for the duration of the taunt like st taunt does?
it does
Til
@alpine loom necrolord isn't going to make you more tanky
It's an overhyped covenant
Covenant doesnโt seem to matter that much for prot
Kyrian is bae
each has their plus and minus
Agreed. Itโs just not extreme in any direction
You'll pry my phials and owl buddy from my cold dead hands
thx for comment
But agreed that they're all MUCH closer together than they used to be
make sure you're running crackling thunder
I am
TC won't be enough to keep it off of a HNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG Mage on full boar
Bounding Stride is life
Crackling thunder does nothing lmao
makes hitting everyone in a spread out pack a lot easier
yeah bounding stride will save you on that caster pack..
It won't but it's still amazing
I mean, if hitting them with TC could hold aggro sure.
A piss poor radius increase on an ability that doesnt have an issue hitting everything anyways and isn't even your main aggro tool

Cutting a good mitigation cooldown from 45s to 30s is fucking great
And it makes it stronger
Seriously crackling thunder is a meme
LoS with the stairs, you live!
Eeeyyy good point
nah
Does LoS still calculate off the bottom of your feet to the bottom of their feet?
gotta go fast
My science is weak in retail, I'm mostly a classic lad
And that's how it do in classic
no considers your whole model, so you can't peak over the lip and nail em with heroic throw while LOSing
Oh cool
Hence why playing vulpera is bad amirite
Lining your healer on stairs
That's really nice, the foot to foot calc is shit

It's so fucking stupid to get LoSed from your healer by a pebble
which necrolord soulbind is the go-to for m+?
oh, so none of them offer any noticeable difference for survivability?
You run soulbinds for survival?
I did as a guardian druid, sort of.
๐
well, actually, no. we run korayn for big deeps
I'm just leveling and getting renown, so I only have marileth for now, but I was just curious if there was a major frontrunner for survival and dps
like korayn for guardian druid
I like simping
also if I play necro for prot warrior, I'll have 4 tank characters, one for each covenant
and I'm too attached to that idea to quit now
maybe when prideful ends, I'll give up convoke
Kyrian master simp bear
my fourth tank is a dk
prot pally and brm are level 30ish
I don't enjoy them
I'm pretty committed to necrolord for prot, I've thought about it a lot and I know it's slightly suboptimal, but I'm liking it so far
I run with a fire mage and an afflock and they frickin love me
BrM is actually pretty cool this xpac tbh
yeah, if I have time to get a 4th alt up, I'd make it brm XD
i found it pretty boring now that shuffle is a thing. its like it lost a button and im not sure what to do with myself
Sure but you gained Celestial brew and two actual damage CDs and stagger isn't as stronk and a lot of your defensive play has shifted to using Celestial Brew well
Seems like a net gain to me
Losing a maintenance button isn't really something to lament
yeah, i never played to to a high enough level where id get the really big brews.
I haven't played brew since legion, it seemed pretty neat, very active. It seems spamming ironskin brew was replaced by spamming purifying brew
(as far as I can tell)
its definitely my second favorite tank, i just really like how busy i feel on my warrior
as a mostly pugging prot warrior with m+ focus and clearing hc raid. woul you rather go kyrian or nf?
you spam purify to get more celestial brews, right?
NF for both for me
The damage purified just buffs your next celestial brew, doing your rotation reduces the CD of brews
ah, gotcha. I like how the prot warrior channel is so dead we're filling time by talking about brm XD
just wait till its meta in 9.1 :p
Eh usually as long as people aren't stifling conversation that's relevant to prot its not frowned upon
one of my friends who is 9/10 m cn claims the same thing. They don't play tank, but I like to use them as a source
prot warriors scale very nicely as expacs go on, usually, but we don't know how impactful the secondary DRs are going to be, do we?
Scaling is a meme
well, I mean it is kinda obvious. prot is a scaling spec AND it got a nice buff. combined with supposedly further dh nerfs in 9.1 prot is a strong contender to be the next meta slave spec
K value literally is there to keep us from scaling
Yes, looking forward to the howling masses of flipperhanded monkeyfish arguing with us lifetime prot warriors about how things should be done.
i do wish we had our own cc like paralyze, relying on pugs sucks
ye xD
We're not a "scaling spec"
^
that meme needs to be shot
Just go panda and use quaking palm
Ez clap
but as we get more haste, our shield block downtime decreases exponentially, does it not?
haste is a linear value
Decreases yes
mhh, k. i don't know too much about it. prot is always my alt, and pala mostly my main. why is it not scaling?
Exponentially no
We get the same benefit off of more stats as any other tank...
K value
Reprisal should be crafted on feet instead of legs right ? and legs should be the ones from HoA ?
Because there is a value in the armor calculation which increases with each content tier
There is no magical breakpoint where prot suddenly becomes way better due to more stats available
that makes it easier for NPCs to bypass our armor
pretty sure the scaling thing is an old vanilla-wrath meme where rage generation wasn't normalized
Next tiers top ilvl shield won't be any better than the one I have now next season
this too.
Other than the fact that the k value changes which makes my current one dog doodoo
btw rage gen was normalized in classic/wrath, but poorly so
but the window of NOT having shield block is really the main point to look at here; If you got from 80% uptime to 85% uptime, you decrease your SB downtime by 25%. Going from 85% to 90% uptime lowers downtime by 33%. "Pseudo-exponential" decrease of shieldblock downtime
Irrelevant now with reprisal
we have effectively 100% uptime with reprisal anyway
oh, neat
what is, then? damage?
its the fact revenge doesn't have a 40 yard range
legs
ah
maybe if shield slam applied a debuff that did 5% more magic dmg ๐ค
Lots of things if we're being realistic
being able to deal damage on untankable packs from range
yeah, the prevalence of boomie/fire mage really cement vdh in there
One of the biggest though is the fact that the meta wants DH anyways because spell cleave
is UDK uncapped?
also fiery brand uptime is equiv to reprisal shield block uptime but does magic and phys ๐
i'm starting to prog xymox today and was wondering if i should pick punish instead of devestator for him due to the massive tank bomb. or will ignore pain + spell reflect suffice?
what about 9.1 meta? Wouldn't the kiting meta go away a bit ?
that too, VDH having an outlier for an insanely broken lego
fiery brand uptime isn't 100%, though
i just sr / ip
No
Spell reflect is up for every single one
Why would you need a measly dr from punish
no other points to really use shield wall on either so its there and available
Yep
stone legion for more vers? [am at 7% without] otherwise i would pick gluttonous spike or 210 anima field
How bad is it to use devastator on all content? I usually put devastate on a really accessible keybind (Q), but it's wasted if I use devastator. So I was thinking about reassigning Q to a another skill, but I don't want to get used to using Q for something else and then swapping it back to devastate for when I don't use that talent.
Whatever Sims higher
Devastator gives SS procs
You always play devastator
In every content
how do you sim tankiness?
You dont
You don't
You dont
understandable
You sim dmg
go on...
Long answer for a question that you didn't necessarily ask but is assumed in your premise: your actual %age values of secondary stats dont matter nearly as much as just having more stats and highest ilvl. We benefit from all stats fairly heavily so just pick the highest ilvl and you can then tinker around with adjusting different stats to what you find most preferable when you have multiple items at 226
If you die, try putting your armor and shield on
โ๏ธ
great, thank you ๐
Question about reprisal: are the 4 seconds added to a sb for a total of 10 sec or does sb override and set it to 6?
Stacks
Thats good ty
I hated that
My friend made a weakaita that /rw โI overlapped shieldblock Iโm a retardโ
Someone was asking about M Xy'mox earlier, he doesn't really do a lot of tank damage. Most damage is AoE/Glyph.
Who cares about SB itโs all about that revenge damage now 

BSC is the best
As a Guardian, I was able to actually go cat form and use convoke easily
Oh yeah I go boomie and convoke wheb im guardian
Like, when tanking I mean. Xy'mox does that little of damage through AAs to the tank.
I'm a NF prot now. Ancient Aftershock is a lot of fun ๐
whats your fursonas name
Brodyne
oof
exactly

Is Revenge w/ BSC better on 2 targets than Execute?
on what piece should i make the reprisal legendary ? feet or legs ?
Legs
It's not bad, what else have you got?
its not good either
I mean, when it gives you the stat buff its amazing
its just that it will trick you and not do this most of the time
dmg proc trinkets are typically better for dps
and shield trinkets are typically better for def
but i guess a fatty haste button or pinch self-heal isn't awful on a 3min cd
sometimes it gives me a massive vers buff on pull
and I'm like Thor coming down at the end of Infinity War
spinning axes and lightning murdering everything in sight
think there's a WA that tracks what buff it gives you
there is
I should give my IQD a try. I have a 210 pre-patch one, but I know I'll hate it or Press it at the wrong time. I keep swapping between using a 197 hymnal and a 200 gluttonous cuz I can't tell which I like more.
My trinkets are hot garbage
anyone have a good intervene macro that intervenes your focus target?
/cast [@focus] Intervene
too easy. thank you
hey guys, quick question, reprisal > thunderlord?
Oh yeah
yes and it's not even close
this is all I want to be
is mastery good for war prot?
or vers?
i know i have to consider ilvl > haste > vers
but what about mastery?
ima little curious
It's fine, all our stats are pretty close
mastery is more or less purely defensive. However, ilvl will win pretty much all the time. I wouldn't sweat too much about secondaries unless you have a plethora to chose from
mastery buffs our AP at 1:1
rather 1 point of mastery is 1% attack power
not super for dmg, but not totally defensive either.
hence more or less. It's the weakest offensive stat
oh wow didn't now pika has a yt channel
๐ฎ
Plka is rank 1 prot war, hes got content for everything you could ask for i'm pretty sure ๐ฅฐ
Except a guide vid T_T
I record tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wait
no raid, no stream, free times ๐
are u necro now?
yea im trying it out
really worth?
necro made me sad
mmmm dont think necro is really worth
thank god
it made my war feel like cheeks
TBH, i think kyrian will be the play, JUST so you can have a kyrian in the group
not because kyrian is bis to play
as someone who's only played necro in m0s, it's solid ๐
NF is the most fun to play
im nf now, but just feels like kyrian is the most optimal
esp since we are working on msludge
mmm sure, for raid I can see kyrian being biss
Yeah, if literally every DPS class wasn't going Fae, I'd consider switching to it
for m+, just from optimal play perspective, NF is bis but you get no covenant diversity since everyone is NF
yeah, i'm thinking kyrian too because i like the pot and like to have a chicken like a partner
NL was not super great. But maybe it was just a tornados thing.
i really like nf in m+, its my fav for sure
Hearing Plka say Kyrian is prolly the play makes me so relieved i never switched
i wish burrs was more consistent
NF is def so fun and good. If you can cover the covenant diversity then for sure play NF
do NF prot warriors not go Korayn?
until we realized none of us were NF for the skip
I go Korayn when i play NF
it had never happened before
big dam ๐
Korayn does have nice oomph on engage
yeah korayn is big damage
korayn is so frickin strong compared to all of the necro soulbinds. IT's silly how weak the necro binds are
at least how weak they feel
I'll take the crit
oh, from the banner conduit?
banner/emnem
Oh speaking of which, does anyone know if the necro dps spreadsheet is with the conduit + emeni main stat?
so pika, u pick nf because with korayn does a lot of damage

@vagrant cape what does the Korayn tree offer? am necro atm
hmmmmm thought it was on there.
25% crit chance for 5 seconds after you hit something that hasn't hit you
the necro one gives some haste for 5 seocnds after killing something
Nah, doesn't say, unless the profiles are listed somewhere I'm not seeing
I'd much rather have 25% crit during a fight instead of a smidge of haste after things die
i think kyrian is good too when u do m+ like NW, specially NW
@spiral perch I like NF because Ancient Aftershock bascially acts like a Boomy's beam interrupt for 12 seconds. If the cast is over 2.5 seconds, the mobs wont get a cast off for 12 seconds
And the dam is big
Oh those damage profiles are just the banner gain for those specs
nothign to do with OUR damage gain.
also kiting with soulshape is bae
only 2%
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat thinggg
so not big enough to be a crucial variance
do y'all prefer the soulshape movement based on where you're looking or the direction you're moving?
Direction moving for me
I've never played a class with blink mechanics so idk
If it's where you're looking you're not going to see the pack anymore. At least with direction facing you can strafe and blink
yeah, I like the direction based since I don't have to turn my back to the mobs
so with heroic leap, intervene and soulshape, that war will look like a dh but with shield
but the downside is that slight knockbacks will ruin me if I want to go in a direction that ISN'T the way I'm being knocked back
except none of those have a 8s cooldown
Grab de bg legendary leap and yo Ute better than dh, you lose dmg tho
if the vdh is taking the good talent on that row, leap is 20s, iirc
ah yeah, 45s, 30s and 2 min of cds
when they gonna address invis pot issues?
big nerf on leaper
dude, is that thing bug? i used on halls and a add saw me
i was like
wtf
pulls out crystal ball
I'll give it my best shot.
cracks knuckles
They are nerffing it or already been nerffed
almost any status effect change breaks it, so phial refreshing its status, speed boost applying or falling off, etc just breaks you out of stealth @spiral perch
+ korayn crit = Kreygasm
Barbarian (PvP talent) no longer resets the cooldown of all Heroic Leap charges when used with Leaper (Legendary Effect)
Been nerfed, only applied to fury
really a nerf on Barbarian
not on leaper itself
man, y'all are making me really wanan swap to NF, but I already have a NF guardian druid. Hmmm...
sadly NF is boring
I might swap off necro purely because of the soulbinds. I feel like all three have at least one "good" node that it completely trash
haha i have 3 nf, 1 lock, 1 druid resto and now ... probably 1 war prot nf haha
i feel like best way to get invis fixed would be to make a wowhead article that somehow makes it sound beneficial to players in some way, fixed in 10 mins ez
๐ง
ping Llarold on it, he can overhype anything as a buff
"Warriors are getting a functioning legendary that is still weaker than what other tanks have HOLY CRAP"! ๐ โก๏ธ ๐ช ๐
legs
okay, thx guys have a good day
Eh, I'm liking Reprisal a lot
Isn't he like a monk main?
to be 100% effective
Sorry just seemed like you were down on it lol
He's a tank writer for wowhead, they literally couldn't be bothered to find someone who mains prot.
Nah, I was making fun of how insanely overhyped Llarolds comment on wowhead was
i'm still quite liking the double shield wall, am I weird?
he was like ITS GOING TO CHANGE THE META โ
"Necrolord is the best group-oriented choice for Protection Warriors in raids. It is contingent upon having a good, organized group to perform competitively. Under the ideal circumstances, with skilled DPS players who you can overlap your Conqueror's Banner with their major offensive cooldowns, itโs the best overall choice. " doesn't seem that overhyped, just says it's the best
To be as hyped as he made it and to upset the meta we'd need it to cast shield wall on intervene/charge and when SW fades provide us with a free ignore pain for every target we were in combat with"
Literally was talking about reprisal
lul sorry
Big facts
Dumbest thing
Llarod's post is concrete the reason it got nerfed from 6s to 4s
Do we still need revenge with Reprisal?
@cunning parcel do you mean Best Served Cold
In keys
yes ravager is still the play
Raid is ITF
Sometimes I forget to switch out of ITF after raid and I just roll with it lol
this is for keys, I prefer wall in raids
reprisal in raid is growing on me
feels good on Sire and SLG
was fiddling with it on shriek
Shriek it's easy to do
It was really dumb too lmao
Same with Hungering
intervene after a swap
Huntsman can be weird at times if your off tank is dropping shades off somewhere
Like cool you buffed what we were already good at but leave us vulnerable where we already sucked
Totally needed a nerf

literally what melee DPS are for.
True
I trigger it on bleed soaks
and then I'll intervene - charge for rip soul
using Safeguard
13% more DR for my co tank
the Rip soul won't hit you since its magic
Tried tanking with reprisal today, it was ... interesting
some fights i feel like i cant really game it
but the rip soul timing is tighht
gotta intervene, then they have 3 seconds to move
so I kinda move a bit to the other direction
so hunts isn't close to the soul
Legit best legendary would be "Increases IP absorb by 80% and per cast amount by 50%, cap is now 300% max health"
snooze
Legion IP
i thought legion ip was even better
wasnt it based on the amount of rage you spent as well
yeah it was insane
thats what increasing its absorb by 80% would do
(50*1.8)
it stacked 3x instead of just 2x as well
why does the wa Block tracker no show me the reprisal block?
nope >.< no plan why
its exactly the same spell ID: 132404
Huh that's weird, mine shows it aswell
for blasting 14-15s, Bloodspattered + which other? Anima 226, Stone legion 220, Hymnal 194, Gluttonus 226
sim it tbh
how good is the slimy consumptive organ at ilvl 213 ?
kinda terrible
cool de spec it goes
one of the worst trinkets in the game

ah it show it only on fight ^^ ty guys
if you want it to show outside of combat as well you can go here and have it look like that
yep i have it tx โค๏ธ
Basically lol
If we had Legion IP
๐
Tbh
This xpac makes me wish we were Legion prot again
Every expansion makes me wish we were Antorus prot
4x20 2x21 was best borrowed power
Like a machinegun firing shields
just wait for Legion Classic 
But I want Legion IP in this content
also Legion classic in 2028
at their current rate
too early
TBH wow has a ton more content per Xpac than EQ did
so they can't do like quick release TLPs like Holly did there.
EQ is basically 1 tier per Xpac for the first 7 or 8
RIP quick time table WoW progression servers
Exactly why I kinda want Legion prot
Because of the current content

can anyone recommend certain conduits for raiding for a pprot warr
Antorus but with stackable Inspiring Presence
Double prot meta
"Healers LOL"
@queen blaze
Endurance:
Stalwart Guardian > Unnerving Focus > Fuel by violence = Brutal Vitality
Finesse (raiding):
Inspiring Presence > Safeguard = Disturb the Peace
Potency:
Cov ability one (unless your Venthyr) > Show of Force
TBH the venthyr one is still better than Show of Force
IDK 1.9% buff to the absorb on condemn is still > buffing thundercrap
nah
I mean its close but TC helps with aoe threat
i disagree
so...
yar
i give the edge to show of force
Anyone has that amazing WA for tracking 2 closest targets, for banner usage? Saw it a couple days ago but cant find it.
https://wago.io/ConquerorsBanner (Credit @strong forum )
its the same time as asking here ๐ Thanks Plka
Do the small anklebiters in HoA have truesight or is it something my mind made up?
Mawrat harness wouldnโt work for me either in toghast
Got dismounted every ~3-4s
Apparently some kind of fleshcraft bug ๐คทโโ๏ธ
So do anyone know of they fixed the last pull before the gauntlet in SD ? I have not been able to just pull 2 out of the 3 mobs standing there. Or am I just superbad ?
Yeah invis are defo fucked. Guess ive just played too much HoA lately. Some pug said they could pull thru the invis
Usually all you need to do is taunt any of the mobs on the edges and it should work. If that doesnt work its probably fixed
Failed like 3 times 2 days back. Tried both taunt and heroic throw
Harrowing is pretty bad
@blazing condor most people fail the invis skip because they still have the gargoyle MC'd and when the duration ends, it puts you in combat for a split second breaking the invis pot
@remote hawk they fixed it I believe
Neat i didnt know. Thanks as always xox
They did, I haven't been able to get just 2 no matter how I Pull it, including with mindsooth
they seem to be for sure linked now
i feel so bad for the healer i just had
They sure seem to be shrouded past or invis past now ๐
that room is going to be horrible on fort weeks
permaskip
probably
hey guys, reprisal crafting slot pref? legs?
going to have to pull extra on the outer ring then
totally funks my favorite path up!
did a 10 HoA, fucked up the route as bad as i could and only had like 60% uptime on sb.. healer says "you are super easy to heal and clean run".. what kind of monstrosity routes does that person have to heal? ๐
also they'll have to fix invis pots!
yes
wowhead's latest article is about the invis pots
As someone who dabbles in healing on a resto shaman, the type of mouthbreathing VDH who try and facetank mongo pulls tends to numb healers to a "mediocrity prot"
ye the healer had 2.4k hps overall so i guess it was fine
Aight ty
"Oh, 3 packs without interrupts and you didn't use devastation, yes, for sure my fault that you got shredded like rice paper hit by a grenade"
If you mythic raid and have access to Mythic SLG loot, then you should make it on Boots since you can get 233 legs off of SLG. If not, then you should make it on legs. This is because, even if you boots are worse than your legs, you may eventually get better boots and pants give you the most stats from the legendary in that slot.
There's a lot of things leashed together that weren't before 9.0.5
thanks plka, love your content ๐
Finding them on the fly has been a hoot.
Mistblade + Stoneguard is my least favorite combo in any dungeon
"Oh I Need to place that red slap of one shot in a consistent direction, but wing boy just decided that we're going to have shit pillars popping out of the ground, and my camera is stuck somewhere ๐ โ๏ธ ๐
that hall
ALthough the worst spot for camera angles is probably Devos platform.
"Oh those frilly things are collision points for my camera, this is fun"
sd and soa have unforgivable pepega camera angles
If their explanation was anything other than "lol we didn't bother to check if they were shit sorry" I wouldn't believe them and would be more upset.
at least none of the CN Boss fights have idiotic camera angle shenanigans, unless you're attempting to leap behind a pillar in Sludgefists room
Not quite as bad as Varimathras' room in Antorus
but close
Tanks reeeaaaallly piss me off with mist blades
Running all over the place and shit
Like bruh
Stand in the same place the whole time
And then move away
Then back
All of the echoes will be in the same spot
^
But the dpser/healer was rude and need to be punished !!
Crafting a legendary: reprisal still the go-to even post-nerf?
And if I have 220 legs (off SLG) and 213 boots (heroic sludge fist) makes most sense to replace the boots, right?
craft legs and get a 220 boots with valor?
Is trading 44 versa for 25 hast 19 mastery worth it? i mean either i get some somewhat good stat or half garbage and half good stats
Yes its still very good
I mean are you gaining ilvl?
Ty. It will take me a bit to get the valor going as my m+ isnโt up to par. Not sure where else Iโll get boots right now.
nope, got slg normal shield and just got +13 mists one and saving valor for other stuff
uh, so like rule of thumb, gain ilvl
there's almost no variation to that rule
More stats > Less better stats
what does one have to do in order to get the dungeon buff from plaguefall as necrolord?
Fleshcraft on top of slimes when they are dead
orj ust have fleshcraft on and walk past their bodies
Yup, thats obvious. Thats why i asked, cause the difference is rather small
has any1 tried Necro puggin to see if its worth?:
ok guess my banner boi dream is properly dead
whats the better weapon enchant?
the cheapest one
what is this for an answer?
Celestial guidance or whatever is called is usually the go-to
But idk how much impact it really has for us
celestial is 5% str the other is pure dmg on 5 targets
Celestial is good in all aspects
All the rest are pretty specialized
I'd just default to Celestial
ok ty
What's burr's PPM?
1.75
Is it a hard PPM or soft PPM.
I use Lightless force, it does 4% of my dmg ST, and I think that's more than 6%, since it isnt 100% uptime
you need to up your other ability use if LF is doing 4% of your ST dmg
All my logs are 95+ so I doubt it
I was under the impression some abilities will never proc more than x times within a minute (hard) and others just have an approximate proc per minute where the average susses out to x (soft) and could get a lucky string.
Is this not a thing?
i dont think thats a thing
You're confusing PPM with ICD
most things are rppm (real procs per minute)
so if you dont have x procs in y time
the proc chance increases
does strength do anything defensively for prot other than the parry and increase ignore pain?
Some things have a cool down that does not allow them to proc again for X number of seconds
but youre not guaranteed z amount of procs in y time
more damage = things die faster = u take less damage

str=armor too
100% of str is translated to armor
ahh ok tyvm
I run intellect gear so i can outwit my foes
i know its our best stat i was just wondering
TFW you forgot to take your skilling up set off

gotta wear int so you gain more dodge skill
I stacked only intellect and now my character wont pug anymore
But at least your first aid is capped
Is the Thunderlord legendary still the go to for mythic ?
๐ณ ๐ด
alright ty, you craft it on the legs then
Unless you do mythic slg yeah
i got it on the boots since it replaced thunderlord
even then, you can figure that the reprisal legs are future proofing, what if next tier doesn't have sexy legs
what if they're an anti-waxer
Does Ravager as Prot procc Torment Kings?
No.
Bladestorm does though, so if talented into it ravager should
No, that's not how it works.
The ring doesn't proc on Ravager, it procs on Bladestorm, Avatar, and Recklessness. The only reason Ravager procs it as Arms is because it replaces Bladestorm.
Prot doesn't have Bladestorm or Reck, just Avatar.
interesting, learn something new every day
The problem I think is that the Anima Power of the same name in Torghast does proc on Ravager.
Prot ravager is a diff spell ID than arms
does it proc on fury ravager as well? or does fury ravager replace BS too?
fury doesn't get ravager
^
Fury talents into bladestorm
It procs when you use Bladestorm as Fury, though, yes.
which uses the same ID as arms bladestorm
Apperntly not, but Fury's bladestorm is included in signet triggers
maybe a bug then if fury and arms both have 2 triggers, maybe prot is also supposed to have 2?
fury bladestorm vs. signet bladestorm is weird, they're affected by haste very differently
when you're in lust, the random proc bladestorm lasts forever, then the actual button press is over in the blink of an eye
I Noticed that
is there a way to see how much damage intervene mitigated?
either on logs or details
Is this channel also appropriate for classic?
We don't rly do classic in here
is burrs pretty much the go to for NF?
me?
Oh ok I was going to ask what you thought of this raiding TBC tank spec
Head on over the the fine respectful gentleman at the Fight Club discord
Its linked in a pin in the #vanilla-discussion channel
definitely on single target. for m+ korayn might give more damage with first strike
not 100% sure
But tbh pwarr stronk in tbc I played it all xpac #shrug
Idk how speedrunner bois change that meta up tho
Anyway
are you guys running ITF for raid if ur using reprisal?
I would probably do it yeah. Then again i have the wall in raids rn
ravager sims higher on ST for me ๐
is ravager more dam
So, prot warr fellows.. do you use sharpening stone or oil for M+ ? I thought that sharpening stone is better for aoe while oil is good for ST.
sim it mate
can sim this too
Probably because it means we get huge condemn windows lmao
I was curious what is everyone else using
im using stones
Thanks
I use the shadowcore oil 
So with Reprisal being the new BiS, will double time be better to use in M+?
ya but storm bolt is still fucking amazing
I don't know if Reprisal is BIS tho.. i kinda hate it cuz it forces me to change both my playstyle and talents from defensive to more offensive
its better defensively yeah
And i wouldn't change storm bolt for double time either
as long as u can charge and intervene, and the attacks are blockable
gotcha
which m+ has a lot of
Giff prot warr baseline 2 charges of charge back like in BFA ffs
would be nice
currently im using Wall and Thunderlord and im enjoying them both, just unsure of the play style of Reprisal
I'm really enjoying Reprisal in M+. The biggest playstyle difference for me is remembering not to heroic leap into a group to engage.
My group has 2 melee, so intervene targets are readily accessible.
I'm in the same boat, brother. I enjoy The Wall the most TBH, i can't enjoy Thunderlord as much, especially in Tyrannical weeks.
What talents do you run with Reprisal ? And also, what's your ilvl and what keys do you push ?
devastator-storm bolt-best served cold-bounding stride-indomitable-ravager-anger management
tried bounding stride and i had problems keeping aggro
Over what?
over Crackling Thunder
Try revenging more often
Guess i should do some lower keys to get used to the playstyle. I Just can't get it.. either i end up rage starved and intervene is on cd, or i blow up my def cd's poorly
CT doesnt affect aggro
I assumed he was banking on the range increase
thunderclap is such a low about of your aoe and st damage
What can I do for iron spikes on 3rd boss of SD? Outside of major CDs I just get railed
shield block
It still rails me
it also increases the slow by 10%
the joke in BFA was chad thunderclap because it did an insane amount of dmg to point where should clap if its off cd
yeah, i guess the range helps a bit
you should be using revenge and avatar more if you have trouble with aggro
itwent from thunderclap to thundercrap with SL tho
Im 209 and run 15s, and my talent spread is 1221231
save a charge of SB for it, maybe get a stack or two of IP up if you/the healer is really struggling
I save Spear for one of those to get an extra IP during the channel
Helps a lot with spikes
how come warmachine instead of devestator
use SW for a later one where the healer is prob catching up on everyone else, demo for the earlier one
Yeah I'm doing all that, guess it just hurts
I don't like the feel of Devastator. I know it is numerically better, i just don't like it
I prefer to have more control over my rage gen
no, thats fair, i just don't like the extra button to press
i presonally am a fan of heavy repercussions, not sure why i just like what it does lol
I've been wanting to tinker with Never Surrender but haven't yet.
i'm doin 3311231 for keys with reprisal and mostly haste gear, is this correct?
i was thinking earlier about indombitable with niyas haste move when you use healing abilities but i dont think they would count to proc the haste buff
what i was always told coming into SL is that indomitable is best
I see that build a lot too. The extra Reprisal damage is a good tool to have.
I like the booming voice for extra up front rage, i always run with an rDruid so I try to avoid the quick spikes at the front of a pack with an IP at the start.
i must try reprisal with heavy repercussions tbh
@torpid saffron howd you like it?
Personally i hate Reprisal.. but i'm not the best prot warr, i'm 1300 RIO with 215 ilvl
Maybe try to time a demo shout for it? Shield block should be enough
I enjoyed The Wall for the most time
AM with ravager instead of UF feels not as good lol
jojo question. i always feel that my shieldblock is not enough. do you keep a shieldblock with pain sub on every major boss mechanic or do most of you guys just use one (or a big cd) i struggle a little bit to choose when to have SB and Pain up or use it for revenge etc.
^ good tip
ye i m so used from DH or DK to have an active mitigation like boneshield so i think i overuse SB and then don t have it always when needed
Dont be stingy with cds
got a new ring. still enchant haste?
dat haste is good i think
i kinda want more vers
ye you always have something VERY strong
prot feels a lot like you have to combine different mitigations. but could also be my gear right now
Doesn't help that half the attacks are half physical half magic tbf
If I'm already at 30% haste is it worth using the anima field emitter trinket?
I'd be placing the kael one but like that haste proc though
*replacing
Its a nice trinket
Id probably only swap it for the splinter if i really felt like it was needed
Which it doesnt really feel like
i'm at 30 and i use amina field
anyone try ascended vigor on a weapon enchat?
Iโve been playing around in 12/13/14 M+ today on 200 ilvl prot, there are some mechanics I have to double up Active Mitigation to survive, but it just requires some planning, hateful strike on gorechop is almost always an ignored mechanic on a 13 Tyran week, no other tank has done that as consistently for me tbh
Tbh the whole gorechop fight is a joke anyway
As long as people are all in melee of the boss it's piss easy and even if they aren't the adds still die fast enough through passive cleave
i got trucked with DH on 18 keys on tyranical to be fair on gorechop if i didn t have brand and meta on
he hits hard. i m excited to see how prot will mitigate it.
I think warrior is quite heavily reliant on preplanning mechanics, more so than Iโve seen on other tanks
Ravager does well on that fight, all the extra rage gen for IPs with the adds on the boss
Make the chop easier to manage
On the 16 I did, that is
Till I get my haste up Iโm actually using heavy repercussions atm, itโs played really nicely
Scaling is notably different on an 18, I can't speak to that level yet
and i read it before there i also have the feeling that devastator seems a little ... not that fluent. i sometimes have nothing to press because everything is on CD and i don t have the rage. i bet it is to pure management of my rage but sometimes it feels like i can t generate rage with devastator when i need it
Mmm are you overusing abilities?
That is the exact reason I don't like that talent
I might be overusing abilites as well, I just like the extra control of war machine on my rage gen
propably using revenges when i shouldn t
Your missing out on a ton of DPS/rage from the free shield slam resets
Its a 10% boost over the default 20% baked in
If itโs below a 10 I go Ham with revenges to troll dps, but if itโs above a 10 atm (Iโm only low ilvl) I am pretty much only using revenges during procs, everything else is going on maintaining a shield block (through presses + reprisal) + making sure I can IP during any mechanic
Yep
And you don't have to press it
Doesn't take a GCD
Happens when your casting other spells
Yep, good points.
Low haste hurts also, I dropped 300 haste today and my god I felt it
I just prefer the control i get with WM instead. If I get into harder keys I'll revisit it.
But for just doing 15s I can be a bit more flexible
got good legs upgrade from wq incase i ever decide to not use reprisal
Of course, optimally I donโt think itโs the way to go, but optimally we wouldnโt be playing prot warrior :p
That's the truth ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Optimally I wouldnโt be a necrolord, but then I wouldnโt have BiS transmog
Itโs all choices ๐
Is necro fun? I dont have dps who benefit from Mastery enough to swap, but it looks fun
to be fair i think we will see some more prot warriors doing +25s now and i love it. i like the variety on top. and i think in reaaaally organized groups prot warrior now has the chance (with very good play) to be viable. not meta yet! but maybe 1 patch more and some little fine tuning and he will be as good as Leatherboy Threebuttontank
its super fun!. transmog insane. Fleshcraft. cool
Banner ?! dps love you
Hotel? Trivago
i playing 195 ilvl +11 +10 necro but i think i havent dps and some time agro problem ^^
banner is really fun
just hit the 190 on my prot today :D. excited to see how my boy does on prides. Just couldn t play DH anymore
Spell reflect comes in handy when you have PuGs who won't stand still during pride.
Reflect on the bolts prevents the stun
the best thing you can get from pugs is a "nice intervene" when you catch something for them
gives me a gamerboner
๐

Lifesaver with the fixates in NW sometimes
So Iโve been thoroughly enjoying necro, I played with a monk, boomy, firemage, priest today and got some huge benefit from banner. But itโs useless in some groups and very useless in raids. I keep getting pulled to kyrian for all sorts of reasons
I'm kyrian and love the snap threat and rage gen, with the option to use it for kiting if needed.
really? from what i ve heard you re ESCPECIALLY wanted in raids now for some nice boosts. i could imagine some WW monks sucking their tumbs after a bannerbuff
I did a cn hc pug today and people just donโt even recognise banner as a thing
The 26% strength tho, that shits amazing
boomies love banner with bl
ye i think it s escpecially with necrolord = in an planned environement insanely good! in pugs a solide meh looks cool ๐
Yeh pretty much, as someone who pugs a lot I think Iโll be going kyrian in the near future
spam more revenge and blame it on the healer if you die!
๐คฃ

love dat ๐
But Iโve pushed from 50-60 800 rio 205 ilvl prot in 5 days as necro and fleshcraft has saved my ass on more than one occasion
i also love it! ๐ it feels cool. prepull and also in a pull to overcome some gaps in your SB in my eyes
shield necro casting on bosses for safe your life
love it
is my first necro char
xD
i forget all times shield and dungeon buff
ye same here. it was just muc hworse on my BLood DK or DH
but for prot i just feel the vibes!
Fleshcraft feels brilliant now and fast paced M+ runs you can get two - three times the amount of fleshcraft as pre buff
i mean how ballser is that fucking armor!
Kyrian phail is handy
what build you running with reprisal
The ability to drop bleeds and necrotic stacks
Iโm interested to see how at 220+ ilvl with like 1400-1500 strength and a 25% strength buff for a while how banner will feel :p
Yeah last stand before fleshcraft is mega value
also i feel it not to be a super high damage tank but more of a tank! i might not push my 18-19 keys right now like on my DH but the fun is 10000% higher. i got so used to OP sigils and imprisson that i forgot how much fun group planning is
Great tool for the leaping adds in ToP and the like, too
I can't stand vengdh entirely because of the sigils
I wanna test a fully geared prot warrior using a str pot before using banner in a M+, I feel like 2.5k strength is doable, if so weโll hit like monsters
I'm glad i have kyrian spear so I have some of the benefits of sigils without the stupid fucking cast time
ye had 7k dps in aoe pulls with 180GS in tirna. i really like him now. he feels strong but not overpowered
keep me updated mate!
Revenge is king
avatar, revenge, swirlyweapon, stomp, more revenge, revenge, and some revenge
dont forget to shout to get more revenges!

thank i love this chat jesus
@unreal scarab you missed a revenge GCD
best severed cold work good?
What leggo is everyone using
The Wall for me till i learn how to play with Reprisal
punish vs devastator without haste
Devastator defo
heck jeah. reprisal feels sooo t asty. instant revenge after charge to get the aggro from a combustionmage and then sprinkle in some intervenes and charges with awayhopping for more free revenges and SB
i fell like a turtle hiting
Learn to use devastator, the haste will come
i also play two charges for even more Revenges! tastytasty
Yup double time for the real memes
you moving all time pulls?
reprisal you have to play like speedy gonzales. if you don t rush to something after 5 seconds you re too dayum slow!
heck jeah
I charge, intervene almost immediately in a pack
The last charge is if something is being an asshat with threat
some pulls you don t even need a single SB because you re just running around ๐ also free revenges just tingle my spot!
ye i playing charg and intervene
pair it up with a avatar and Anger management and dayum pump these damage numbers!.... up to 1/4th of a DH ๐
dh dmg is stupid xD
For me, you always want to keep atleast 1 charge of charge and intervene on cd in M+ to maximise reprisal
intervene i use when use 1 charge SB
My opener is the charge revenge SB intervene revenge SB atm
i need practice a loot
Next week Iโll be running shockwave talent tho because I wanna perma stun ghosts forever
bufff BV vs best several cold i like shout pulls xD
Ye. Charge-> Avatar while charging -> revenge-> swirly weapon-> SB -> shout -> revenge and so on
I use BV in raids still tho

you use revenge with proc only? o spam?
If you donโt need it for pain revenge it is
If you need it for pain. You flame your healer and continue
love flame heals โค๏ธ
What do you mean I get too much damage?! You just need to heal more
I m not letting an affliction warlock win in an aoe fight!
Did a HoA+14 for a guildies GV earlier. HPriest was saying he needed to drink more than one time. Looked at logs, 68% overheal. big smh
pft, that's nothing
I did an SD +15 yesterday, and the paladin went oom twice
???
how do you even do that as a paladin?
what the fuck
my paladin bud has been trying desperately to run out of mana since the expansion begun
hasn't happened yet
don't hit shield block and your pally will oom real quick ๐
I am getting a reprisal and I don't know which slot to get.
Should I get boots or pants?
Pants is more stats ๐ so from that pants would be the way

hello @unreal scarab
Or boots, if you get SLG pants
might as well never make it then;) maybe there's good pants for next 3 tiers
NL is better then NF to M+?
only if youre OMEGA coordinated and have 2 dps that heavily benefit off of mastery to play around to
otherwise no
wear a jock while you play
say u can do it dps players and smile
your opinion is wrong
encourage dps to do more dps by doing more dps than the dps as the tank
positive reinforcement through negative feedback
Same. It is fun!
on the spreadsheet, what is boomkin ord?
I thought all warriors from every walk of life were accepted here T_T @strong forum
gotcha thx

hah but on logs im r1 ๐ค
what conduits run in M+?
Veteran's Repute Brutal Vitality nnerving Focus Inspiring Presence i run
Unnerving Focus *
Brutal Vitality vs Stalwart Guardian?
ill try now
do pvp weapons have better secondary stats or am i just crazy?
Crazy
this one is ilvl 158 38 haste, 55 vers... im currenlty using a 194 weapon 23 haste 36 vers
are you looking at a 2 hander
Crazy indeed
Well, first day tanking as prot night fae and OMG does a lot of damage
are there any addons that show you scaled loot values?
ie what a 184 ring looks like at 220 etc
Shield wall not resetting on wipe in raid feels bad btw ๐
This is the way
wowhead's item thing is stupid; can't even select scaled items correctly
Now you know how dps with 2min CDs feel
if you want 220 versions of gear add ?bonus=1534 to the url rather than use their dropdown pickers - stitchfleshs-misplaced-signet?bonus=1534 for example
Is seisimic reverb leggo ok in mythic+ setting?
yes
why is that ? , i noticed somethjing weird but i have no idea it was an issue D:
its just bugged they've done the math wrong
fuck, since when ? will they fix it or is itgoing to be like this forever ? haha
I only tested it myself when this patch came out
so maybe it wasnt broken before 9.05 or no one knew
at least my tooltip said 3.7 minutes before 9.05 (which is more than what it suppoes to be) but i'd always assume it was a tooltip typo xD
which does the most damage, kyrian or night fae in m +?
yeah I didnt really trust the .7 minutes tooltip so I timed it
you get 20s less cdr than you should
that's fucked up
need an oppinion about tanking mythic sludge if anyone is free
so unless its been hotfixed, the conduit is worthless
not sure is even worth it to take ??
a bit like the deep wounds one rofl
i mean it suppose to be 30 secs less in 213, which is cool, but that down to 10 ?? sounds awful
Sure, what are you curious about mate?
Im progging it for a week now, but when i look at top logs all of them have very little ignore pain usage
reprisal leggo on boots or pants ?
i feel like im falling over a lot
so i kinda play very defensively when it comes to rage usage
thanks, that was the response i needed. i've been trying to push keys and make sure i pull my weight
kyrian or nf deals more damage in m+?
dying? just spec HR for a bit if it's holding your progress back
but the top tanks have less casts of defensive abilities but they still have overall less dmg taken
yep going for boots
