ya thats worth
u dont take leggos for the ilvl u take it for the effect
legs give more stats
thicc thighs it is
thick thighs save lifes

โ๏ธ
any idea how long till upper reaches is back... i got screwed on my leggo
soo have to do it again
u didnt craft reprisal?
you can go to corridors and keep rentering til first tileset is upper reaches unless that was changed
i couldnt @sweet summit i ran upper reach twice and it wouldnt drop for me
on layer 8
you probably have it already
do you already have it in your bags or something
legos are account wide
you have to do the quests
if u have anohter warrior
if you haven't done the torghast quests nothing drops
did you get soul ash
i did torghast quest.... and yes
Have you unlocked the Runecarver? You need to have "The Final Pieces" quest before you can get memories
you need the runecarver quests, and you dont have to do layer 8
yes i unlocked the runecarver prior to doing it
i literally got fucked by blizzard
where is todays patch notes
this is my 7th toon unlocking a leggo i know the process of it
launcher?
Is anybody still using the Unnerving Focus (Last Stand generates more rage) conduit with Reprisal/AM build? I feel like I barely touch Last Stand now outside of an oh shit button.
And Brutal Vitality feels underwhelming
isnt the idea you dont want to touch big cds unless oh shit button?
im using unnerving ye
LS w/o Bolster can just be hammered tbh
w/ Unnerving use it as a damage cooldown imo
w/ avatar or whatever
I pre-plan big CDs with my group, and Last Stand is left out at the moment lol
If its not in your preplan you hould just be using it tbh
Mmm damage cooldown, good idea
big rage gen for big executes 
you pop Last Stand when the boss hits 20% so you can spam more executes
the hp increase is so that you can survive a couple more seconds when you execute too many times and can't afford shield block
@dark lark i think there are certain Healer externals that are based on the targets max hp. if you coordinate externals you can probably use it with those if thats a thing im not making up
I feel like its a preist thing im thinking of but frankly i dont know lol
shield wall should always be planned, optimally
spirit shell used to scale off of the priests hp and gs heals a % of your hp when it procs its cheat death
U can last stand rally -> fleshcraft if you're a cool kid
So you guys still like Unnerving Focus over Brutal Vitality and Fueled by Violence? I've never done any testing on FbV, how does that do?
BV and FbV are very minimal
UF and SG do so much
its very hard to justify taking either over UF
Dude I'm instaswitching off Necro today, I couldn't stand it
LOL
is another finesse conduit available for the intervene conduit
new banners kinda cool
I hate it less than i thought i would
sticking with venthyr for now though mostly been playing pvp
will probably end up back on kyrian unless the Necrolord cleave teams end up being sick af
It doesn't benefit my specific m+ comp that much, and it's kind of a pain in the ass in raid to yell at my boomies to come stand in melee
I'm going back to NF personally for the fat 
Yeah but then boss positioning gets all fucky
So I'd rather not mess with that
I mean ur running reprisal boss positioning gunna get fucky anyways tbh
but then it gets fun bc everythings fucked
True
does killing a spiteful proc "on kill" effects? ie: Victory Rush
IIRC yes
I spam
on those dicks
btw when did they change explosive to not trigger victory rush
it was second explosive week in EP?
@modern brook @jagged pier Here's the logs from last nights pulls. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks!
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/nXPV8xWrZzLdfgGT#boss=2407&difficulty=4&wipes=1&source=7
from a very quick early look your SS casts are low yours are below 10 a min with they should be 10- close to 12 cpm which means you are missing ss casts
SB uptime also looks low though its hard to guage a good number since every heroic parse is just a meme revenge fest at this point
your also only cast sb 11 times in the first phase
as your progressing sire u should probably run bolster
for more up time
on sb
instead of am
you died on your best attempt to eating a basically full unblocked shattering pain with your last sb usage 35 seconds before your death
Less impactful: this is wrong
like on my last kill of sire i cast IP 5 times u want to block more than ip
@modern brook that was what was in IcyVeins
this is better
I love mawhi but I'll die on the hill that Phial of paitence is better than 2nd potency
That's crazy to see because I feel like I spam that thing...
focusing mantra has value in M+ where the CDR means something
but even then 55% heal is insane
you also under your spear
like u cast it 3 times over 6 mins
which is a tone of missing rage
so, is it wrong or do you just disagree with Mawhi? ๐
Show of force sucsk
Mawhi is wrong
90% that page was made in prepatch it was updated last week lol
1 finesse 1 potency 2 endurance is $$
I was reading that AM was better with the The Wall Legendary to reduce the cooldown more.
Not when your block coverage looks like it does
across all atttempts you have higher ip uptime than sb
you may take less damage taking ip off your bar
and just binding sb to it
@jagged pier compare his 3rd wipe to his 7th wipes rage gain (roughly same time frame) you can see what im talking about. Where the raw gain of rage from wm phase 1 makes it look like you're getting more
Meh, IP is decent in last phase of sire
But when you actually compare to how much is being wasted / the cadence of it its completly useless like you were saying
yer but im generall focusing on the pulls where hes running deva ill show in a sec i have a kill thats the same time
as wipe 4 or somthing
Yeah I was just saying its not crazy to misinterpret the talent as "more rage"
So SB should be up more than IP. Got it. I started using IP a lot more as it seemed like I was living longer as we progressed.
yeah high ip uptime is fundamentally bad
you should have a lot of casts of ip but the uptime should be low
IP is good in P2 and 3 because of the raid damage
it's not that SB should be up more than IP; IP uptime is just not an important metric
it's an absorb shield, so uptime is irrelevant
but 20% SB uptime is very bad
by Up TIme... you mean when it's waiting to be cast, or when I've cast it and I'm not taking damage?
@raven nebula this is your casts for 6 mins on your 7:11 attempt
this is mine
you are missing a tone of SS procs
you should almost never let SB sit on 2 charges, and never for more than a few seconds
no wonder your rage starved
so if your SB uptime is less than 6/16*haste, you're just doing something wrong
sire is a hard boss to get shield block up time
that I'm doing something wrong was never in question. ๐
unless u run bolster
uptime being the buff is on you and not fading
that's % haste or numeric haste D:?, id ont understand that ratio ๐ฆ explain please T.T
ok. That's what I thought...
like, if you have 20% haste, then your uptime would be 6/16*1.2 = 45%
casts per minute?
yus
with some wiggle room for holding due to tank swaps or etc
ty ! ๐
but not 20%
ok... so takeaways... @jagged pier @modern brook
- More SB uptime
- Talents back to Devastator and Bolster
- Adjust my Soulbind tree
Did I miss anything?
Is there anything going right?
On your Non-WM pulls your wasted rage is very low. which is good. Looking deeper its probably because you're not spending globals
i dont run buffs souldbind so cant comment
Always Be Closing casting
because coffee is for closers?
Well like Jakey showed before, you're missing like 30 Thunderclaps in the same timeframe
and thats just the ability thats ona cd
IF you dont cast, you cant get a SS reset -> less damage, less rage, less evreyhthing
that was what initially led to this... i was having trouble doing ABC due to being rage starved
like in my 7:11 kill i generate 3557 rage where in yours yes u die etc but u gen 1997 rage
so u are hardly using your generators
you will have empty globals if youre not spending rage on revenge tbh
This is true, especially with devestator.
But even on the pull without devestator
You spend rage on anything else?
If you're not using devestator you ~are~ global locked
and 4 casts is abysmally low on that time frame. We can chalk it to not being practiced without the talent but its just symptomatic of the greater problem of not hitting the actual buttons
is there no one-handed str boe weapon? O.o
Can always use a green!
@raven nebula do you have a trinket thats not pulsating stone heart?
I had to tank using a brewfest stein for like a week in BFA 
I was struggling to work it in.
yeah the button sucks
I would rather press nothing than have to use devestate again ๐ฆ
other than those two, I have Bargast's leash. I did some reseach. Spamming DOS this coming week for the one that drops there.
Who is ready for High Fort Keys with Reprisal :OOOOOOO
dos is good. soa spam is also good for anima field emitter.
Got it. I'll do that one too.
My guild boycotted my Bargast's leash because I was killing dps with it for the luls
we have an irritating DPS that I use it on for kicks from time to time.
is mastery extra garbo now with reprisal?
it gets even better with reprisal
the haste/str pvp trinket is pretty decent too I think, if you have/can get some conquest
really? does all the block go to crit block?
easier than farming for specific trinkets from M+ anyway
no
but you dont get mastery for passive block
you get it for crit block
and AP ofc
Fuck that legendary
then how does it get improved by reprisal? it's still just a bunch of wasted normal block, right?
higher block uptime, more blocked hits, more crit blocks
higher uptime on SB=more value from crit blocks
More block=more crit block
Oh, crit blocks aren't their own roll?
Because the more blocks the more chances of crit block
Check to block
Why you hatin?
Because I don't like the legendary and actually feel worse off using it than wall/bolster
o.o
I guess it was the same with momentum
I guess I thought it'd be wasted because all the block % you get from the stat is pointless since you're going to have like 100% uptime in dungeons
You get it for crit block. Part of the reason warriors were indestructible in BFA was because of Bastion of Might giving us a ton of mastery
ah
BoM was nice buuuut really BFA just played to our strength of blockable damage and we did a lot of damage
That was kinda my hope for conqueror banner, to be a new version of BoM. Nope I forgot that clap is still worse than a wet noodle
alright, I feel a bit better than about getting turbofucked by the vault with a high mastery neck
bom was nice with crashing thunder or whatever it was called
deafening crash?
Unstoppable Force?
yes thanks sorry
Part of my problem with reprisal, it plays to our strength but our problem isn't blockable damage anyways in SL
deafening crash and bom stack
It plays for both since it frees up AM for SW CDR
specially 8.0 deafening crash where you could have like a million seconds uptime on demo
with avatar > TC spam
The glory days
not like prot warr were good at the time anyway
I miss my 75% uptime of demo
Of having IP on the GCD
was #1 on my server with 1300 rio lmao
We were fine in 8.0
gamer
best bdk had like 2k
it wasnt terrible just not that good either
ive always one-trick ponied prot warr and never had a "this is unplayable" feeling
I miss more Demo but reprisal feels good and impactful enough I don't really mind
It still feels disgusting and I feel like I got trucked a lot more running it than running the wall/bolster
o.o
I dont think any class is unplayable, but VDH is just clear cut the best, but I think the difference is smaller then most people realize
VDH ๐ด
Plus my overall was higher running non reprisal build
Rofl
wadduheck
are you sure you're playing it correctly
But I'm probably just mentally handicapped when it comes to charging
^ i feel that
Getting a charge mid combat is rough
Running double time
VDH is strong for keys because of its utility and mobility. I would argue that after 9.0.5 warrior damage is comparable and we're able to face tank more
Intervening the holy pally
Idk how you're doing less damage then o.o
I'm doing more. ๐
All the Avatars from AM and the free Revenges.
Leaping then charging back in ain't it
Whos ready to intervene melee to get hit by spiteful?
I barely leap tho.
griff's personalized copy of shadowlands is bugged and reprisal is actually f-tier
I'm sure it's good
can u block spiteful aas? 
Its felt like ass the keys I've ran it in
Using reprisal is just awkward. I'm going to die on it with @chilly brook
last week was also rough to use reprisal
or is that counted as some weird non blockable ability shit
But hey
storming can go suck a nut
I'm probably being dumb with it
Tornados were hell
storming is literally just an annoyance lmao
dont hurt or anything
just there to fuck with you
I actually love the gameplay of Reprisal. Leaping out, charging back in feels good lol
It does like 10k a hit, wdym
It does a good amount of damage
constantly hunting for good charge opportunities
Storming should be removed tbh
Make melee great again Blizzard
Do you kite normally? I don't run double time, I kite a little bit for 1 SB to come back and then charge back in. Rinse repeat every 30 seconds
my 4 brain cells cant handle using revenge first global. muscle memory ftl
is the incrutable quanum device any good for us?
Big stats, probably not too bad to line up with CDs
storming was a horrible prank for our first week with reprisal
but should be better now
Sometimes you can use storming to create enough distance between you and the mobs that you can charge
Big game
Should be slamming first anyway, then using the big revenge for a chance at SS reset
Yea, and sometimes you leap out and a tornado comes along and stops you
'
If you intervene someone and get hit it is their fault 100%
feel like first global needs to be some kind of aoe threat unless you run with hunter/rogue consistently
had that happen to me in a PF when getting the plaguebearers in position
ravager sorts that p well
That's true, I do revenge clap for aoe.
Fury warrior is great in m+ ๐
I like Ravager, but I do miss a time when clap clapped
its weird how TC is so redundant nowdays
Ravager > charge > SS > revenge > SB is what I normally do
The worst is when you're tossed in the air by storming and then the mobs decide to path behind you and hit you in the back for unmitigated damage
Its already rolling
dark moon decks are now epic quality
Usually both charges aren't up after the first pull tho
SB as soon as you have the rage for it, and it's not on GCD. Not a big deal
I'm thinking about it
it's nice and all until you realise 4 minute shield wall and 1.5 minute avatar
but then again
bolster
LS feels kinda meh without the SB
i think for reprisal imma just go full offensive
going to upgrade my reprisal to 235 ilvl for the views on twitch T_T
Id rather upgrade my seismic T_T
Why not both.
Seismic seems chill
cant wait for the day when we can have both!
not enough soul ASH
wait you guys have different legendaries?
We were just discussing earlier that Unnerving Focus makes Last Stand a dps cooldown
Also..more views probably with a title like "190 Reprisal in a +23?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
i thought only the wall existed smh
I have a 235 DPS Legendary, 235 The wall, 210 Thunderlord, 210 Seismic, 190 Unhinged (Pvp), 210 Reprisal atm
Naw, more views; 'Secret Prot War Lego for Max DPS. Dont tell Ion about this'
That TL regret
"YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS KEY...."

it's a good thing i took one quick look at TL
hey Mwahi I said you were wrong earlier for recomending double potency on Pelagos in the Icy veins guide - is the a reason it does?
Let us salvage legos!
as long as you have a top tier click bait title, you should be all set
Who wants to watch TL stream xD
i appreciate pika for taking that bullet so i dont have to ๐
for SD, should i get Pride for 2nd boss? or is that not rly possible?
You can get pride for 2nd boss. Mine is the 60% pride
with or without skips?
what the hell do you mean by skipping pride for the last literal worst boss
Skips
before going down to 3rd boss
I dont thinks its doable without skips for second boss
or at least, without meticulous % counting
I shroud the 3 pack + custodian iirc
i usually shroud the pack before the gauntlet
and shroud the 2 packs after the bridge before the 2nd boss "circle-room"
but the issue is that
after taking the venthyr buff
if you wipe
just dont wipe ๐
easier said than done on Sad Depths
do you skip?
If you wipe in a push key you probably won't time anyway
this gives 60%
and maybe the miniboss ? i'm unsure if that's skippable though
Hey all. I'm currently Venthyr for damage, but making a hard swap into tanking on my warrior. Is Kyrian the play?
skip the blue mid pack and the one before it
take the smallies in the room after 1st boss
This is my Depths Route if you want pride every boss ^.^ and you want 7 stacks of the venthyr buff going into pride/2nd boss too
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
skip you mean shroud?
I skip 3 pack on bridge and custodian miniboss
NF For alot of dmg, Kyrian for mix of defensive and dmg
Shroud or invis pots
I would recommend now that people not roll Night Fae, for the soul reason a large majority of DPS are Night Fae
engineering belt.
NF is probably better if you still do a lot of arms/fury pve in addition to tanking
literally the only reason, cause its siq af
I never risk the skips in SD in my pugs cuz you really only get one shot at it. :(



how good is anima filed emmiter ?, in paper seems to be near bis for prot but i see little ppl using it, why is that :O?
Anyone have any tips for the packs in the starting ring of DoS? I find I'm having issues kiting the big spinny bois mostly. Once I heroic leap away they usually get to me before their enrage ends and destroy me.
I dig it quit a bit. The aoe procs all the time so moving hasn't really been an issue for me.
honestly
wait, why dont we have the conqueror banner ability icon emote 
i don't regret sticking to my gluttonous spike over field emitter
the heal and dmg is really nice
If you wipe a push key it's probably not going to be timed anyway. If you do time a key with a wipe then it probably wasn't tight enough anyway
hold an intervene for GTFO ability
bro any chance you got the Plka combo platter of these?
bring a soothe
I've been straight winging literally every key since i took the warrior otu of retirement
i already have GS and i got an emmiter in vault was wondering if it's worth taking it... honestly the other options are only sidegrades so i'm not sure
@patent osprey that route doesnt seem to give pride on 3rd boss? or am i missing something?
yeh that's just down to personal preference
Mostly true. Some keys are easier to recover from a wipe and still time. SD usually ain't it tho.
GS does 10% of my healing so i love it
What ilvl is your spike? My 200 is ~5% of my healing.
213 is mine
both 226 and yeah i got liek 10 % too
i have a 200 scale wich performs similar to my 226 spike, so not sure if i want to change any of those for emmiter, my other option is a side grade (+haste - crit) with leech, feels meh xD
I hadn't really considered using intervene for a GTFO. Still getting used to using reprisal so I'll have to try that next time.
waist
i mean to me it sounds like an upgrade but that's just me
I have a 226 emitter and keep swapping between the 200 spike and 197 hymnal. They're both fine. May try my 210 IQD this week till I get a scale (hopefully)
it's a haste / crit leech waist 226, vs a vers - mastery one without lech
how much haste is too much haste?
Iโve enjoyed necrolord tanking, and banner gives good buffs for my burst dps teammates. I havenโt been lucky on trinkets unfortunately
leech + haste is nice
yeah, just wanted to know what i'm missing if i dont pick the emmiter, but to me sounds leech haste is a winner
feels bad to not have an ilvl upgrade though ahha
I'm assuming you're not NF for a soulshape. You can also swap to the heroic leap talent that gives extra movement speed
The leech isn't even worth considering, imo
is really little healing but still something, prob 1 % xD
Yeah
but if emmiter wont give me any new, if it performs very similar to spike, then that's 0 upgrade
it'll be 3-4% ?
emiter is nice but i don't like it
i just like GS heal + dmg passive buff
i might take emitter at some point tho
Negative. Currently kyrian however I've been considering switching to night fae. Also currently using double time
The way I handle that pull is mount -> TC first two guys -> charge next group and blow some AOE stuff -> walk to the side while getting SB rolling -> Charge to the back end of the casters to kite some more when needed -> Intervene all the way back again
Not sure what covenant choose ๐ฆ
probably have to blow a CD at some point but you want to have at least 1 fresh for the next pack
Kyrian or NF holy shiet.
Necro any good now?
Necro if you have friends
Kyrian if you love dispels
NF if you love watching people trip 4 times in a row
all covs are viable
annoying cos was fury, so venth lol now switching to prot better get that renownss
you actually get to pick a covenant and not go for conjoke for 4 specs
necro is pretty fine... banner is nice, fleshshield is good too.... i think as prot warriors we are in a position of free choice, covenants are extremly close
well, question here, if i open the gv with fury spec, gv would give me items from that spec? or it doesn't matter?
it matters
The vault generates loot based on the loot spec you have when you open it
no shields or tank trinkets if you open it as fury
Dw, I opened my GV in boomkin spec on my bear rip ๐ญ
gonna cry like a baby
Always double check your loot spec before opening the vault
It even says on the bar lmao
They double dumb proofed it
it doesn't fit the THEEMEE
AA its very powerfull
so is spear bastion
Eh, I'm a night elf
what bosses would you lust in SD?
what legendary we going for rn then people?
It does for a nelf

no
for all round content
even for a nelf
I had to step away... thanks @jagged pier @modern brook and @mossy sluice for the help and humble pie. I appreciate it!

how do i sim as prot? is the same thing as a dps right?

prot sims ONLY dps
yw
gotcha
exists
using condemn just for sound

BiS
whats a usal SB uptime now in a mists m+ key with the new lego?
when i wanna play my prot only in m+ necro ist best right?
if you have a consistent group and those classes scale well w/ mastery
Mine went from ~55 to ~70 switching leggos, but I suck
Depends how much you charge/intervene
I did a +16 yesterday and ended with 86%
That's awfully low o.o
okay i was on 50% ^^
Tell me about it
are you talking raw uptime or blocked hits?
Raw uptime doesn't mean anything.
We're talking about effective uptime.
how to gauge?
yeah i know pretty low on SB
but tbf i had a very strong healer
so i didnt need to midigate much
do you mean this stat that wowA shows?
ah. that's a lot, especially because it sums all the damage and blocked hits are less damage
so you're blocking like 95% or something
wait, the % distribution accounts for hits when you mouse over 'hits'? That's neat
I've been looking for that stat ๐
is spare meathook meta dead
big for st
my box is kinda poggers and idk what to take from it
meathook sims a lil low for me and idk why
are you saying "is" or "isn't"? "ist" is hard to decipher
das ist gut 
Necro is considered worse than kyrian and NF for pugging m+. It's hard to compete with the damage and utility of those abilities
the jury is still out on a perfectly optimized banner necro, afaik
it feels like a theoretical thing
Fleshcraft is kinda poggers

Banner is pretty nice. the dps i play with says it feels good for him and if its good for him its good for me.
Banner is great combo with a fire mage.
Fleshcraft is nice and all up until you realise you have 3 slow stacks on you and 2 explosion aoes, and no mobility
I use it to DR tank busters like Soul crush from Muezala and stuff
spell reflect soul crush
Wait u can reflect it?
yes
see
FOR THE RP
ah yes
In my defense ive spent all the expansion so far playing Monk so i didnt have reflect. Just Psychic shell brew.
ah yes best part
poggg is that table in pins?
Poggers
may or may not the the "reflect guide"
the magic damage part ye
warriros shit on this dungeon wtf
it is infact
the reflect guide
in the pins
i'm still mad that i can't spell reflect patty cake
for like 80k dmg
no fun allowed
cant reflect Stigma of Pride either -_-
you reflect a tick
think pierced barb just deflects now
something tells me tentacle slam is not reflectable or blockable
ah the best part is the 3rd boss fight in DoS, the broker
you can just reflect or deflect the explosion
Any update on reprisal sims?
as a prot warrior you think you like dos until you see the caster packs and the milificent bleed
Up until you realise you just reflect Shadowcore.
you say that as i have enough time when i'm hugging it D:
๐
reflect them all 4head
and the packs around it do stuff
Risen cultist steal my spell reflect
but yes reflecting shadowcore for 30k is nice
Is shadowcore the knockback
no
No.
it's the single tank bolt
nah its big fuck you spell
It's the ST nuke
which stats shud i put on my new legendary plate legs with reprisal please?
Just outrange it.
Haste/Vers.
nah i'll just jump off to Mueh'zala
ty
Bob salami will catch you
More leech on my GV piece today. Up to 10.5% leech. Is this gonna be noticeable? I do 4k dps in keys and maybe 2k hps ..
Basically just encouraging me to revenge spam more lol
ok maybe not that
Are people preferring Fueled by Violence or the Ignore Pain conduit? I know both are underwhelming, but I like to play whats the least underwhelming
imo i think ignore pain conduit might be more useful
provided you deal damage
the fueled by violence at the end, as far as i did last time, it only did 60k healing total at the end
fbv way undertuned
it needs 50% healing for it to be nice
I saw many damage meters, I do a decent chunk of damage from dem wounds
Is the damage reflect from heimir serrated spaulders noticeable?
so i did 282k dmg with deep wounds
its like 4%-5% for me
20% of it is 56.4k
Oh wow
It did quite a bit on my DK as well
56.4k assuming no overhealing
yea
So really, both are kind of meh and Im better off stealing the Dh's 10% magic DR one
anyone got a macro to make charge intervene the same button?
wa
Imagine if you could just take your prot warrior to a tattoo parlour and come out with 15% magic dr
Hi folks, quick question: Is reprisal still far ahead of the wall after the 2 second nerf?
m+ yeah - the wall is fine for raiding
wall still makes you tonky
M+ specifically yeah
Which would be my best Back Enchant for Protection Warrior?
I'm currently using: +20 Stamina & Minor Speed Increase
Is that the best one & I should continue using it? Or is there a stronger one?
Thanks in advance! ~Husky
The reprisal evaluation in the pins took the 2s nerf into account
Gotcha
use the one w 30 stam or 20 stam with leech
As they told us it was going to be nerfed when it hit live
They just forgot to change it for a few days
I only have soul ash to craft 1 (wall or reprisal) so need to pick the best option for m+
reprisal for m+
Undisputed?
well it depends
No, you can play what you prefer
it's best for damage
Like for +20's
Reprisal is 'better', but if you dont like it, you dont like it
it's how you wanna play
it's the best, period imo
if you wanna be a beyblade without the blade
then go for reprisal
if you wanna be a walking wall
go for the wall
of course, only true chads take Seismic Reverb
no no
only true people take leaper
and leave the dungeon after pulling the first pack
Thanks folks
yee np
If you had leaper at least you could get out of the dungeon quickly
exactly
they did change it from 6 to 4s shieldblock iirc
they fun detected that.
they should've kept it at 6 ๐
Blame Llarold
overhyped the reprisal changes
Raid serenity
then snitched
nerf WW monks to the ground
like, blew them so out of proportion
nerf their only good spec
I mean, they did nerf BrM pretty hardcore
TO THE GROUND THEY GO
"if I can't have fun, nobody can" - monk players
!?!??!!?
good joke
WW aint bad, its just no more degenerate gameplay for ST
?!?!?!?!?!
MW is pretty insane, it just doesn't provide anything substantial that the other healers don't do better as far as CD
but throughput they're not as bad as people make them out to be
Yea, they just run out of mana 15 seconds into the fight
give me a holy paladin anyday of the week
a good disc priest is a gift from god
"it's a fast car so long as you dont touch the gas pedal"
a bad disc priest is revisting nightmare on elmstreet

MW is the same way
The remake is actually sick
Nightmare
eh
Hard to beat the original 3
just saying, that was the height of B movie horror
now everythings about gore
Gore isn't scary, its gross.
I liked the realistic burns, lack of constant quips, and him being really depraved as opposed to it just being hinted it
eh, the quips made him my favorite horror character
But anyway, back to the other stuff
MW - give them a chance, eventually you'll find one that isn't garbage
Just like prot warriors! High skill floor
Higher*
yeah but unfortunately, a mediocre shaman will beat out that skilled MW right now
I think the resto shaman hype has died down quite a bit
its all about them Holy Paladins making your dps look bad
no kidding. I was running a 15 HoA last night and this holy paladin was ahead of me in damage for a couple trash pulls like WHAT?! so I kicked my blocks up and lived that revenge life for a while
They are straight pumpers
if the group doesnt need healing, they just turn all of that into damage
combine that with Wings and Ashen Hollow then they are busting
I'm not gonna lie. I've been necro for a week now and I'm just not feeling it. I miss my Condemn on single target bosses
I love my banner, but I was never Venthyr
Anyone know any good video guides for prot warriors or just in general content producers that run prot warrior ?
the only thing I wished I had was AA
constant 95th percentile MWs. How many do you run with regularly?
as an average joe, i run with none
community perception is a big factor for MW, just like for prot
yeah paladin damage is insane lol
MW does good healing, but it's a mana whore and offers no good raid CDs or externals
Hence why it's not considered a good pick
Boo healing parses, yea for damage parses
"i have 99 healing parses" == "i can do heroic bosses with a group of redassed baboons"
leave my fam out of this pls
healing parses are legit one of the least useful metrics I can think of to evaluate a healer
All you got to ask yourself is 'did you die? did he die? did he pump!!!!'
^ if a team does good on mechanics, healing parses can be total shit
I've seen healers purposely standing in shit to up their healing parses
Healing parses are reverse dps parses
is this not the case for all heroic parses tho
the most literally who cares metric
Do dumb shit and play the boss poorly = hps
Most 99 damage parses require the rest of your team play well just cause of kill timers
but yeah heroic parsing is :kekw:
hey guys, so got this on vault (and a 200ilvl chest with crit-haste), should i pick the trinket or go for the chest and upgrade it?
ehhhh i rank 1d xymox last week w half my team dead so i executed for 1.5 mins lol
ZUGZUG
Trinket
Slimy consumptive organ is dogshit trinket
And a 200 ilvl chest is nothing to write home about
you can upgrade it though right?
dude I HATE the valor system
you could but emitter is a fine trinket
emitter is bad on some fights but can do fine overall
I wouldnt know; all my slots are 213+, so anything I would use valor on would either be a BSS (if Ion doesnt give me one today) or just start replacing dem 213
i had the luckiest unlucky chest ever today.
Maybe more even
I wouldn't call that lucky
im literally saving all of my valor for Phial rn its the only thing i need
Big Heraldry
What's the max valor in a season?
That's unlucky as fuck
its pretty unlucky lmao
so i use emitter with organ or emitter with spike?
Spike + emitter
Throw the organ in the trash
REAL QUICK
Nah dude 233 weapon is godly
i kinda wanted to take the meat hook for sludge tbh
What's wrong with you
SNORE 233 weapon
tbh the highest simmer was the 226 ring becasue its socketed
and i dont have socketes yet
lol
listen man, if you don't want the 233 weapon give it to me.
sockets on jewlery is actually busted tbh
I TOOK THE WEAPON
But like you can get socketed jewlery elswhere
literally get 2 rolls a week on a 233 weapon
you take it
Do you have any of those 233s if no, take weapon > trinket > ring
Then the 226 ring
then hook
Well weapon drops from Denathrius ๐
KEK
Spergatur

plus i went night fae yesterday
so im just going bleed build now and letting burs carry me
is the covenant campaign necessary to unlock all your soulbinds? Or can they be obtained by collecting renown?
yes
damn it
the catch up stops if you dont do campaign
you should be doing the campaign anyways for renown
My Vault "Wow I heard you got a really awesome legendary now! Want some 226 legs, or 226 legs?"
(โฏยฐโกยฐ๏ผโฏ๏ธต โปโโป
but dungeons are more fun for renown farm ๐ฆ
Hey, I got 3 cloaks, 1 pvp trinket and 2 Helmets once
got a sire ring tho
if you get too many renown over your current campaign level
so can't complain
the rng for them is so low.
i went from 1-30 in like 4 hours
grinding heroic dungeons/campaign when possible from 1-25 then mythic 2s from 25-30
I think past 30 it really slows down
burs is 30 so w/e
Anyone know of a simsheet for prot warriors?
bloodmallet or raidbots
I suspect that Reprisal changes stat weights, but I need to play with shield block uptime to confirm
It's still ilvl > haste > vers
Mastery has to move, though
I'm not sure if it's up or down
but it's gotta move
I think people still fixate too much of stats; Blizzard has tried very hard to make us only care about I level. Sometimes you just gotta embrace that and stop thinking
crit block becomes more significant, but normal block chance evaporates
reprisal does pretty little for stat weights
mastery is an offensive secondary
Not even that
It's just our weakest stat period
It's not bad
But weaker than the rest
haste sims badly for me offensively, but that may be because I have much more haste than other stats
what's the point of haste beyond like 20%?
zoom?
Rage gen, SB uptime, more dmg
afaik fray doesnt make ur secondarys dr
CD cycling
high haste is poggers
on multitarget, haste sims as the worst stat for me

Itf is % haste, not rating, so no DR
^
i wasnt sure if secondarys dr at a % or at a flat rating
Rating
guess I gotta do haste things then. I'm used to playing dk where it's ALL vers, a little haste, then then whatever.
im at 16% xd
SAME
Eww
Only 15 here
^ also same
im enchanting crit to parse tonight tbh it feels bad tho
I was doing DK things, then we got another tank who is only DK, and here I am like "well my fury warrior is like 215"
Do world quests not reward one-handed weapons at all? I've been checking every day on my warrior and never seen a WQ with one-hander reward. I've done two that gave two-handers though
Wqs are a bitch
ez 200.
Im like 220 I level, and I feel like I always have less stats then all of yall
๐ฆ
at 220 ilvl oyu will have less stats
dude you're not 233? sub par.
im 227.5
thoughts on this WQ reward on which ring to replace?
replace 168
its not just you, its everyone ๐ญ
I have a 177 weapon for prot atm, I just want something a bit better
Straight up if you're not even Epics yet just take ilvl it doesnt matter
some ppl may pump there numbers a bit to seem ๐ @plush tendon
just get to a gear level that can do content then worry about upgrades
