uneven mason
#

I suppose my issue comes down to, podweaver is just another hard CC you apply to yourself

chilly brook
#

Can't complain about a hard cc when it's something that keeps you from dying when you would have just been dead anyways

uneven mason
#

Iguess, I just see the bonus HP and extra damage being more beneficial

#

Like, Niya literally gives you almost as much padding as the podweaver does

#

but has damage tied to it

#

avg stacks when slapping AA is around 18, so 18% Max HP, compared to 30% Heal where you're CC'd and they can safely focus your healer for 10s without you being able to peel

#

Niya also gives you Run without tiring which is a 20% heal if you need to escape from CDs etc..

plush tendon
#

I would go Night Fae, if not for the fact that I think 75% (or more) of the DPS I play with are Night Fae

#

want to get that Cov diversity for dem dungeons

#

cause, AA big dam, and me like big dam 🙂

sick anchor
#

stone legion heraldry vs sanguine visage

#

which trinket should I run

#

both same ilvl

shadow forge
#

Do you have a 5 man group for herald?

sick anchor
#

ah forgot to say I only do raids

#

so i'm unsure how many heralds are around

#

but I could ask I guess

shadow forge
#

If you have less than 4 I would go with Vintage personally

sick anchor
#

I see I see, ty, I kinda agree

shadow forge
#

It's debatable though on what you prefer

#

One is pre-mitigation and damage

#

the other is reactive mitigation

sick anchor
#

I love passive mitigation

#

but tbh I love the shield, as ive found some really efficient uses out of it

#

easy to use

sour knot
#

boyz did your alar trinket is broken too ?

signal plover
#

Nope

uneven mason
#

shield at 220 is equal to a health stone iirc

#

Also, my Alar trinket is killing rogues just fine

sullen trellis
#

hey are Prot warriors good for Mythic + ? ? thinking about trying it out

dapper coral
#

yes

#

but all tanks are also good for M+

sullen trellis
#

thanks -

uneven mason
#

Or does it give us heartburn

ionic fern
#

Is m+ good for your health?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: Nooo.

#

Then again, if you can put up with 3 DPS'ers doing god knows what you can probably put up with anything that life throws at you.

uneven mason
#

Is pugging good for your health

grave crane
#

If you don’t care about timing shit yeah it can be fun

stable kernel
#

pugging gives me enjoyment

#

watching people let bolt casts off

#

ending the dungeon with 6 interrupts

#

me with 20-30

steel bane
#

is necro worth it?

sweet summit
#

nah

clear geyser
#

hi is night fae prot warr viable now?

sweet summit
#

i dont like it anymore

dapper coral
#

I'm actually going all the Covenants the next few weeks, so far I like Necro more than Venthyr

sweet summit
#

night fae is great yeah

#

really?

steel bane
#

kyrian right

#

for prot

sweet summit
#

i prefer venthyr over necro

stable kernel
#

NF / Kyr are both great for prot

sweet summit
#

^

small marsh
#

NF slaps harder Kyrian gives phial

stable kernel
#

NF has the advantage of being good for dps specs too and dps as tank

#

Kyr has more group diversity + phial

clear geyser
#

yea cuz i wanna try fury nf too so i might pick nf for my warr 😄

sweet summit
#

📈

dapper coral
#

went against a NF Arms in arena today

small marsh
#

Play w.e you want you can parse 100s regardless of covenant

dapper coral
#

AA kinda slapped/was annoying

hexed rune
#

NF means you gets tree armour which is the best plate set

clear geyser
#

hows NF prot in m+?

uneven mason
#

AA does indeed do big slap

#

Very big slap

clear geyser
#

high keys

stable kernel
#

I enjoy necro prot and kyr

dapper coral
#

NF is probably the biggest pumper in M+

grave crane
#

I like necrolord so far and on my arms it’s decent to have an extra 10k shield

uneven mason
#

Its a non DR stun that knocks NPCs in it down every 3s for 12s

#

so its a 2nd shockwave that hits for 25k and chain interrupts

stable kernel
#

but i play with a boomie 24/7 and banner feels fun to watch him bomb bosses

uneven mason
#

its good

stable kernel
#

but am kyrian atm cus it feels better

dapper coral
#

low key, going Circle + Necro on my Druid this weekend too

small marsh
#

Yeah I think NF might actually be better for tanking than Kyrian because of the knockdown fucking with casters

uneven mason
#

sadly the REALLY scary mobs are immune to its knockdown

small marsh
#

But you'll take away my owl buddy over my dead body

sweet summit
small marsh
#

I'm Kyrian for life because owl buddy rules

plush tendon
#

One draw back with Night Fae is that Afterschock's rage generation scales based upon targets hit

stable kernel
#

vent is best plate set

#

then necrolord

sweet summit
#

^

uneven mason
stable kernel
uneven mason
#

Vent looks dumb with wings sticking off the boots

sweet summit
#

VENTHYR>idk the other ones kinda suck

#

no u

uneven mason
#

and the shoulders are horrible

plush tendon
#

Necrolord>Venthyr

sweet summit
#

wrong

plush tendon
#

EASILY

sweet summit
#

WRONG

hot oxide
#

You take best served cold for reprisal right? Nothing else changes coming from thunder boots?

plush tendon
#

FALSE

stable kernel
#

Vent > necro > kyr > fairy warrior

uneven mason
#

they don't look warrior, they look Styrofoam cosplayer

sweet summit
#

yeah bsc and anger management

elfin nova
#

just swapped nightfae and got bugged on campaign chapter 1 🙏

plush tendon
#

my issue with the Venthyr armor, and its small cause it does look good, is the boots are very 'slim fit'

small marsh
#

I like Kyrian armor

plush tendon
#

I like the bulkyness of the necro boots

small marsh
#

:)

hot oxide
#

Switched to maldraxxus from kyrian last week

stable kernel
#

I like kyr armor too on my paladin

#

on my warr wish i could use vent/necro

plush tendon
#

I do enjoy being a Paladin lamppost

hot oxide
#

Maldrax shoulders are amazing

small marsh
#

NF is cool too. I don't super love the Venthyr and Necro armor, it's very edgey feeling to me

hot oxide
#

You can use other cov armor once you get it

stable kernel
#

no

iron forum
#

i honestly feel like every single covenant plate set looks awful and rally overdone

small marsh
#

Same tbh

hot oxide
#

Got a mage with full vent gear, switched to nf

stable kernel
#

you have to mog as that cov then swap back

small marsh
#

I don't love any of the plate sets

hot oxide
#

Can’t mog

#

It disappears

small marsh
#

I like the Kyrian stuff but it doesn't knock my socks off or anything

hot oxide
#

Just gotta use the armor

stable kernel
#

nath armor good looking tho

#

tbh

hot oxide
#

Kul tiran in full mal armor is scary

iron forum
#

if youre kul tiran though why would you use anything except their heritage armor

lucid holly
#

nathria armor would be cool if it was class specific

iron forum
#

like the only heritage set that looks good

lucid holly
#

I can't get excited about shared sets

#

Need some viagra if I have that set on

#

and even then

#

half chub

iron forum
#

nathria does have some top tier weapons thogh

#

the raid 2h sword? thats some good shit

lucid holly
#

The weapons are specific to covenant

#

So I assume you mean the Venthyr 2h

hot oxide
#

I hate kul Titan heritage

#

Mechagnome is amazing

iron forum
#

sword is only for venthyr yeah

small marsh
#

Whoever decided they should get rid of tier sets can eat my ass

#

I fucking love tier sets

dapper coral
#

diaper babies!

lucid holly
#

Honestly my favorite part of mythic raiding is getting the extra particle effects on gear

#

But it hasnt been the case since legion :/

small marsh
#

Yeah it's ridiculous that high end raiders aren't allowed to have cool special toys for just them

#

And I'm not a high end raider, I'm a heroic boi

dapper coral
#

Plate has had some baller TMogs from M raiding the past few xpacs

lucid holly
#

Every set in EP sucked ass

#

Uldir was only okay for mythic, even then it was bland

dapper coral
#

BoD M Plate was amazinhg

#

I liked the Nyalotha one too

iron forum
#

mythic ToS mog was top shelf

#

for almost every class

lucid holly
#

The only cool set from BFA for every armor type is honestly BOD Plate

#

@dapper coral you must be a human then. That tentacle on the helmet clips on every horde race lol

dapper coral
#

I'm actually Mag'har and Vulpera on my Warrior

#

and I have the mog on my Zandalari Paladin too

lucid holly
#

idk how people can play races without shoes man

#

shudders

dapper coral
#

necrolord covers your toes!

lucid holly
#

until blizzard realizes fun detected

#

Cause didn't some legion sets have covered feet and people got all excited and then they patched it

dapper coral
#

I think the ToV set sorta does

lucid holly
#

on a similar note

#

upright undead when?

tame jasper
#

Hm I'm frustrated as I don't get it to reduce the damage taken. I try to keep SB up, use my SR, kick on CD and using LS/SW on boss attacks, but still i take damage as hell and get blamed by healers 😦 I think I do something completly wrong.

thanks for reading my mimimi -_-

dapper coral
#

It's kinda hard to know exactly w/o logs

#

Against blockable damage, Warriors should have the smoothest intake of all tanks

tame jasper
#

Yeah sure. i always forget to start creating them

#

SD should have a lots of blockable damage, shouldn't it?

strong forum
#

Basically everything in that dungeon is blockable but first boss smash and the kickable casts

#

It's just that the gauntlet can be quite taxing and tedious

dapper coral
#

some routes have a pride going into the gauntlet, which should carry til the lantern

#

SD, to me, is scarier on Fort than Tyrranical

tame jasper
small marsh
#

Fort is scarier than Tyrannical in general imo

#

For tanks

cunning parcel
#

might be just the healers forgetting you dont have self healing like the other tanks

small marsh
#

Tyrannical is harder on the other four people in your group

tame jasper
strong forum
#

Fort is more tank dmg, tyr is gonna deplete your key if you wipe to a boss, if you wipe to trash you can maybe still do it

#

So tyr is 10x scarier for me

small marsh
#

I think fort is a lot harder to execute on as a tank but it's definitely way easier to time in general

#

Tyrannical is braindead to tank

hot oxide
#

Are you using ip?

#

Logs would help

small marsh
#

Are you running Reprisal or Wall

tame jasper
#

Reprisal

hot oxide
#

Isnt ip when sb on cd?

small marsh
#

Also what kinda keys are you running

remote tusk
#

running is an option

hot oxide
#

I hate kitting

small marsh
#

Not what dungeon, what key number

#

You gotta

#

I hate it too

remote tusk
#

I do as well, but it is so useful

hot oxide
#

Im no damn DH..

small marsh
#

Heroic Leap is a defensive cooldown

#

And a good one

tame jasper
small marsh
#

W/ grievous if your dps are getting smacked around it puts a ton of pressure on your healer and you gotta help them

hot oxide
#

Priority for ip is higher this week

small marsh
#

Stray dps damage taken compounds itself so badly in grievous weeks

hot oxide
#

Plus, you’re dps might not be doing the dps it needs?

small marsh
#

My general defensive rotation is charge SB intervene sb sb sb for 32s uninterrupted SB, heroic leap away and sing the gingerbread man song for like ten seconds, then do it all again

hot oxide
#

F it, blame the damn hunter/rogue

tame jasper
hot oxide
#

For a 15?

small marsh
#

Fucking yikes

tame jasper
hot oxide
#

Anything over a 15 and dps isn’t 5k+ is auto kick

#

Well, more like auto leave

#

But you get it

small marsh
#

I was gonna say 4k to be conservative but, uh, yeah

#

I do 3k as the tank, and warrior tank damage is bad

hot oxide
#

Yup

tame jasper
hot oxide
#

I ain’t no DH

small marsh
#

I've been playing fury for literally a week and can do 4.5k dps at like 210 ilvl

#

On ST

#

And I'm not parsing purple lol

hot oxide
#

Lol

icy harness
#

@spice shoal yo

tame jasper
small marsh
#

But yeah point being if your dps are only bringing 3k to a +15, get the fuck outta dodge

hot oxide
#

You were probably doing your rotation right, dps was idiots

small marsh
#

Yeah esp on grievous week shit needs to die yesterday before grievous stacks overwhelm the healer

dapper coral
#

Keys do get ASTRONOMICALLY harder w/ shit DPS

hot oxide
#

Gotta sneak in IP more though

small marsh
#

Yeah you do have to play a little more defensively for sure

#

But I still blame the dps lol

tame jasper
small marsh
#

What the fuck

#

Fuck them and that

#

Lol

#

4k owl in +15 is catastrophically shit

tame jasper
#

But I don't count this as an ex..ex... excuse (?unsure if this is the right word)

small marsh
#

An excuse implies you did something wrong

#

If the DPS is that terrible you can't carry them

tame jasper
#

I'm not sure if I do - except taking to much damage

small marsh
#

No kicks means you get reamed with magic

tame jasper
#

My whole life I was told to first search for erros at myself

#

Sure another point to fhave logs. I'll google for an addong

knotty mango
#

is necro good for m+ dont wanna change now

stable kernel
#

its fine but if you are nf or kyr no real reason to change

knotty mango
#

nah im necro but dont wann go kyrian or nf ;D too much kyrian/nf charactrrs

stable kernel
#

stay necro if you like it

knotty mango
#

ye

hot oxide
#

Necro is amazing

#

I switched from kyrian

dapper coral
#

to me, the only that feels bad for M+ is Venthyr

#

But it's not by much

hot oxide
#

I gotta do some soulbind for necro warr research

dapper coral
#

heirmir or emeni

hot oxide
#

I just threw some crap in it lol

dapper coral
#

Heirmir kinda stinks sometimes b/c you can't really get a potency into it

#

Enemi is a lot easier to slot one in

hot oxide
#

Is gen draven really amazing for prot?

dapper coral
#

it's considered the best overall defensive soulbind

hot oxide
#

I so wanna get it

#

But can’t do condemn on prot

dapper coral
#

maximizing defense is overrated a lot of the time

viscid lava
#

Where do we craft reprisal?

hot oxide
#

o.O

tame jasper
#

In Thorgast

viscid lava
#

No like which piece

#

legs or foot

tame jasper
#

legs if you dont have access to mythic SLG

#

if you have, then feet

viscid lava
#

technically i will eventually

#

so i guess feet, thanks

small marsh
#

Charge with Reprisal, condemn, enjoy your condemn shield

sweet summit
#

u dont use condemn in aoe

#

on pride/bosses

#

u slap the fuck out of it

dense flame
#

I use revenge too much 😦

small marsh
#

Unless I'm crazy or misreading I could see using condemn on casters in AOE over IP

#

Occasionally

dense flame
#

sometimes I forget to use SB/IP. I just spam revenge and hope for the best

dapper coral
#

dead stuff can't hit you

small marsh
#

Cause condemn says its shield only applies to the thing you hit with condemn

#

And condemn is about 30% the shielding of IP for, if you only spend 20 rage on it (a big if to be fair), 50% of the rage, and you get back 20% of the rage spent on condemn if it doesn't kill

#

It's probably not a great idea but it's fun to think about

sand topaz
#

weird question. if i'm tanking with signet (don't have reprisal yet) and i avatar -> bladestorm in a pack and i'm in no danger of dying, should i cancelaura to spam revenge once i'm rage capped or should i just let the bladestorm rock?

somber stump
#

are you guys having trouble keeping aggro aswell on packs? somehow i am severely low on threat and lose aggro quite alot

hot oxide
#

what's your rotation crex?

somber stump
#

i charge in - revenge - tc - ravager to start, then use another defensive and by that time i atleast loose 1 add

#

with avatar up if possible

#

the only downside i have atm is using a 210 weapon, but that can't be it i think

hot oxide
#

charge, Demo, TC, revenge

#

if you have reprisal i think its charge revenge, demo, tc

somber stump
#

yeah i am using reprisal

#

just waiting for my mission to get the last 80 ash for an upgrade from rank 1 to 3

#

i recently turned back to protection and got thrown into +15's right away, but i feel like im getting alot of dmg and generate low threat

hot oxide
#

you kyrian?

somber stump
#

nah venthyr sadly :<

#

mainspec fury for raid progression

hot oxide
#

ahh, no idea how to weave in condemn with prot

somber stump
#

im guessing going NF would solve some aggro problems, but i can't afford changing yet i guess

hot oxide
#

i'd go kyrian over nf

mighty valley
#

you can throw ravager before pull to save a GCD for another revenge

somber stump
#

i barely use condemn tbh

wanton condor
#

reprisal -> charge + Revenge should solve most

#

also toss ravager on pulls

#

the one annoyance is making sure you hit everyone with reprisal and don't pretty it too early

#

er, revenge

sudden kayak
#

just made reprisal last night as in i had no tank legendary i feel way tankier now that initial block from charge is nice and i feel like more rage generation

hot oxide
#

kyrian is 2 fold since it holds the targets in place while you build threat

somber stump
#

i am losing threat to mages and boomies atm, and a demon hunter instantly meme beaming

hot oxide
#

o

jade laurel
#

Trying out Prot as I level 50-60 in dungeons. My main BDK is going to be retired once I hit 60. Feelsbadman but Warrior feels so fun.

hot oxide
#

they need to learn to not balls to the damn wall then

wanton condor
#

run BSC + reprisal?

oblique garnet
#

Venthyr for m+ is like having no covenant

wanton condor
#

charge -> revenge -> ravage -> TC

#

should solve your issues

somber stump
#

i wondered if it's a warrior thing atm having low threat, when i'm dpsing and see other tanks i don't see any issue

somber stump
mighty valley
#

ravager -> charge makes a big difference tbh. we can generate enough threat, we do have to work harder for it than some other tanks though

hot oxide
#

sigma is right, that should solve your threat issues, if not the dps are critting to high

somber stump
sudden kayak
#

should i go kyrian but im going to lose my 38 level of venthyr

hot oxide
#

stay ven if your prot is offspec

wanton condor
#

if you're losing threat with that you're probably missing someone with the revenge on the charge in, which I find is pretty common if you're hitting it early

hot oxide
#

if its MS, i suggest moving to something else

oblique garnet
#

If you play other specs aswell go NF

#

Arguably better spec for prot over kyrian

sudden kayak
#

i keep getting into groups being atank im thinking to make it my full time career

oblique garnet
#

And its really good for fury

hot oxide
#

hmmm

#

do tell

somber stump
wanton condor
#

I'm probably gonna try out NF this week or next, AA is better against casters but Spear against bears is ace

mighty valley
#

i'm venthyr still, doing fine

hot oxide
#

i heard NF if you can line it up is amazing in packs

#

i'm maldraxxus though

wanton condor
#

NF is just 5 capped

hot oxide
#

that banner is amazballs

wanton condor
#

mainly I love spear for bears and the jumpy maldraxxus dudes

oblique garnet
#

Venthyr is just no covenant ability outside of ST which is why its not very good for m+

#

So youre reliant on your basekit for threat

hot oxide
#

no o shit button

oblique garnet
#

And warriors basekit is kinda sad atm unless you have bis gear

hot oxide
#

or pre shit button

wanton condor
#

my crazy hot take is that everything that affects execute should affect revenge, give us aoe condemn

mighty valley
#

yeah if you're optimizing for m+ and don't care about anything else don't pick venthyr, but it's totally fine, can do big keys, just gotta work a little harder

hot oxide
somber stump
#

i really want to go NF, but i'm unsure how much i'll get gimped in raids as fury then xD

hot oxide
#

i kinda wanna switch to night fae now

hot oxide
#

is NF ability on par with condemn?

mighty valley
#

NF is maybe the best middle ground if you're kinda doing everything

oblique garnet
#

For fury iirc its pretty much even and in some cases even better

somber stump
#

i think NF is alittle behind in raid atm

#

on some fights it'd be better, but single target fights it's falling behind

hot oxide
#

is it me, or did blizz basiclly say " Night fae is for everyone!"?

wanton condor
#

I was just simming myself and NF was neck and neck in ST with venthyr

#

it's just less useful damage

#

as it's not execute

#

if that's what you need

#

niya is just real overtuned

elfin nova
#

Just glancing at the top logs for fury you can see nightfae and venthyr are both competitive

hot oxide
#

link me please lime

oblique garnet
#

Our warrior was topping sire p3 damage as nf fury this week so its not like the execute is bad

hot oxide
#

is it just fury, or arms also?

oblique garnet
#

Fury

#

Arms gains way more from condemn

hot oxide
#

i haven't touched fury at all this expac

#

is it really comparable?

elfin nova
#

arms also has NF close to/at the top

hot oxide
#

hell, i cleared torghast today for shits and giggles as arms and it went faster then what I thought it would

elfin nova
#

but you'd rather by NF for prot/fury than venthyr for both

#

if you are trying to find a middle ground

hot oxide
#

truth

elfin nova
#

that was more the point i think

hot oxide
#

hmmm

#

now i'm going to reseaarch more

#

i see that a lot of people are switching to NF fury

sick sentinel
#

i would like to play NF for m+ but nearly everyone that i play with is NF

hot oxide
#

am i looking at this dressing room right? Mechagnome have pants with night fae armor?

oblique garnet
#

I mean 2 of the best m+ dps specs just happen to be NF

#

I guess theres bit more variance now with Ele shaman rising aswell

hot oxide
#

i tried to make venthry work with my fire mage

#

i just can't keep up with that damn cooldown business

woven torrent
#

can someone show me what the talent build with reprisal would look like?

#

i cant seem to find it on icyveins or pins

ionic fern
#

?

hot oxide
#

switch to best served cold

ionic fern
hot oxide
#

and AM

woven torrent
#

OHHH

#

my bad

#

i was looking at another page with talents

#

sorry

#

i found it now too

ionic fern
hot oxide
#

storm bolt share DR with SW right? or am I having a slow moment

ionic fern
#

Stuns in general do yes.

ocean acorn
oblique garnet
#

@ionic fern why is CT not the most optimal choice 🤔

#

Why is there variance

#

Like its by far the best talent in the row regardless of situation

ionic fern
#

You don't really need it.
Most people prefer to play without it in general me included.

oblique garnet
#

Its extra range on tc

ionic fern
#

Yes.

oblique garnet
#

Its better for your overall threat especially earlier on in pulls

ionic fern
#

The pack sizes are small enough that the extra range doesn't matter + you have Ravager/AA/Spear etc for AoE threat so it's a non issue.

#

But it's still a solid option and some people prefer it, hence the "?" on both.

oblique garnet
#

I mean theres multiple packs in m+ where thats not really true

hot oxide
#

hmmm

oblique garnet
#

And your tc wont hit all of the mobs without it

ionic fern
#

It's not like i'm advising people not to use it,as i said, it can be played. 🙂

oblique garnet
#

Ye im not saying that

hot oxide
#

you have me thinking about switching from Maldraxxus to NF with that link @elfin nova

cunning parcel
#

I was out dpsing some of our dps tonight with reprisal in heroic CN 8l

mossy peak
#

i think both the kiting meta and reprisal make bounding stride more attractive

hot oxide
#

double time would be worth it more then bounding

mossy peak
#

double time is less worth

#

it's harder to slide in that many charges mid-fight as tank, easier for dps

hot oxide
#

i would intervene my healer, then charge. but i guess less buttons to push

mossy peak
#

that wastes a revenge

hot oxide
#

is the cooldown on reprisal not a thing?

mossy peak
#

the shield blocks add

sweet summit
#

cooldown on reprisal?

sudden kayak
#

what conduits do we wear 2 endurance or 2 potencies for prot mythic plus

hot oxide
#

o, i didn't know they add up. I thought it resets to 4 after every 1

mossy peak
#

they add up to i believe 18 without bolster, including your own casts

sweet summit
#

yep ^

arctic wasp
#

does the reprisal effect gives the 50 % damage to revenge when BSC ??

hot oxide
#

yup

arctic wasp
#

awesome 😮

#

i'll give it a try, although i'm so use to DS giving me rage

hot oxide
#

f it, i'm going night fae

#

i love maldraxxus armor and the banner, but i pug alot..

sick sentinel
#

its not like the necro dungeon bonuses are game changing

turbid cargo
sick sentinel
#

same

arctic wasp
#

all dungeon bonuses are nice to haves imo, but i wont change NL i'm loving fleshcraft and i like the conduits more too, also my raid team is happy with the banner buff haha

#

not to mention the transmog looks awesome in my undead 😛

hot oxide
#

i'm ally

#

i left my zandalari troll behind

arctic wasp
#

well dwarfs looks so badass too :D, almost all clasess but orcs, they awful imo haha

#

if you're 200 item level, you are at least mildly potato

fossil sparrow
#

I havent played this warrior since january

#

boomkin is my main now

stuck linden
#

Hi, i really want to get memory of reprisal, all guides say that it can only be obtained from upper reaches in torgahst but wow head says that gherus he chained in skoldus halls can drop it. does anyone know if this is right?

shy path
#

Recommendation on covenant if you MS prot for raids but still play a good amount of arms and fury...across all content

fossil sparrow
#

kyrian probably

#

I can tell you for sure, necrolord arms is ass

#

so not necro

mossy peak
#

nf probably

#

unless you pvp, then i'd consider kyrian

iron forum
#

i thought pvp boys had decided venth is better now

#

but i dont really pvp so idk

mossy peak
#

it might be better, but it's also not in the mix here

shy path
#

Hmm NF it is then...damn really was liking condemn..wish it wasn’t ass for prot

mossy peak
#

it's not bad for prot in raid on single target, but it does feel bad sometimes

#

esp in m+

fossil sparrow
#

it's booty

shy path
#

I’m the off tank for raids so maybe it wouldn’t be that bad..

mossy peak
#

nothing to lose by trying it out

shy path
#

I’ve been dungeon grinding as I level to 60, trying diff covs

mossy peak
#

your covenant choice will not be the deciding difference between success and failure on a raid boss

shy path
#

True

mossy peak
#

and all four are genuinely valid for prot and generally valid for warrior overall

fossil sparrow
#

..for prot sure

#

necro arms is actual trash

mossy peak
#

necro is the only one that's iffy for dps, but it's not actually that bad

shy path
#

Yeah necro is def out

fossil sparrow
#

see, imagine if covenants were spec specific

#

not class specific

shy path
#

Honestly it’s between NF and Venthyr

distant crystal
#

i think necro fury loses almost as much dmg as two boomkins would gain by getting their banner with each cavoke

#

where it basically becomes a wash

mossy peak
#

venthyr is best for damage on raid bosses specifically, though night fae has effectively bridged the gap for dps specs

#

so if your sole priority is raid boss damage as your different specs

#

then proceed with venthyr

#

otherwise i would say nf

distant crystal
#

or i guess two aff locks are the biggest winners from banner simp

wind surge
#

ret boomkins are better but that means

#

bringing a ret to the raid

mossy peak
#

bring a ret to a raid? that's a paladin

onyx moon
#

is this the prot channel 😄

mossy peak
#

no, this is patrick

oblique garnet
mossy peak
#

you said the word "melee"

#

after the word "best"

oblique garnet
#

Well yes

wind surge
#

who brings melee in raid, you only have to bring them for their unique buff

lunar jackal
#

yo guys @strong forum is stalking me in twitch

oblique garnet
#

Its behind the most broken melee spec so i wouldnt really say ret is bad

mossy peak
#

if you're a melee and you don't have a unique raid buff, and you aren't a death knight

#

hope that 3 ranged dps are absent tonight

onyx moon
#

so basically if you aint a dk or warrior

mossy peak
#

the perennial wow design

#

make melee fun, add more melee specs

#

and then make being melee bad

oblique garnet
#

Melee isnt even bad for last 2 a.k.a the only fights that matter 😪

#

Its just matter of people playing what they are best at instead of blindly following fotm outside of top20

stone sonnet
#

hi guys

#

i read guide and faq, but i can't decide, i'm new to protection warrior, which covenant do you suggest? i only do m+

sweet summit
#

kyrian or night fae

onyx moon
#

necrolord

oblique garnet
onyx moon
#

😄

stone sonnet
#

why?

onyx moon
#

depends on your comp

sweet summit
#

i dont like necrolord

onyx moon
#

In my mythic group I got a fire mage and a balance druid and we all do comps so we can communicate

stone sonnet
#

best covenant for multispec?

sweet summit
#

night fae

compact palm
#

Necrolord to embrace your inner simp

onyx moon
#

prolly NF

sweet summit
#

i have feral boomkin and fire atm

#

but i still dont like necro

compact palm
#

U shouldn't

onyx moon
#

too each their own

compact palm
#

They should

stone sonnet
#

and is still good as protection, right?

onyx moon
#

realistically you can play whatever covenant you want and be able to do a +15 on time

sweet summit
#

night fae is great

onyx moon
#

its aoe is nice until mobs move out of it or you have to kite and its useless in boss fights

#

in my opinion

sweet summit
#

its not useless on bosses

oblique garnet
#

??

#

Free rage gen

onyx moon
#

per target

sweet summit
#

you control where the mobs go (for the most part)

onyx moon
#

every warrior convanent ability say for venthir generates rage

stone sonnet
#

second question is revenge

oblique garnet
#

It also does decent damage but for sure if you play with controlled group and actively communicate you can make a case for necrolord

stone sonnet
#

should i cast it only if free?

sweet summit
#

cast it a lot

stone sonnet
#

but thunder clap has major prority, right?

onyx moon
#

in aoe sure

#

use it on cd

#

its free and generates rage(kinda)

hot oxide
#

time to switch covenants again

#

is their a time frame on how long you can switch back to your old covenant?

fossil sparrow
#

how much is too little haste

#

feel like i'm standing around half the time

onyx moon
#

NF beats out every other covanent in aoe damage, kyrian provides burst rage and consistant damage in aoe and ST while providing us a nice defensive cd with the phial since prot warriors got issues dealing with bleeds

sweet summit
#

you spend rage on SB>revenge>>>>>>IP @stone sonnet thats the priority for 95% of all m+

stone sonnet
#

ip?

sweet summit
#

ignore pain

stone sonnet
#

oh right

#

do you have a suggested wa and plater profile?

#

i use luxthos but i don't find it so good

leaden dew
#

hello! thinking about joining the tanking squad, the WoWhead guide says that prot war can be a bit boring, is that a thing?

fervent smelt
#

Not since reprisal, I've rediscovered my love for prot war

leaden dew
#

the guide also says it can be a bit complicated

#

and ive literally never tanked before

#

will this be an issue lol

#

coming from a healer standpoint, i felt warriors were the most smooth to heal compared to the other classes

fossil sparrow
#

they can be

#

they've been very hit and miss since bfa

elfin nova
#

never having tanked before is always going to be there

fossil sparrow
#

fucking up, costs you more than other tanks

elfin nova
#

until you try it

onyx moon
#

dude prot warrior is fun af

#

its soo to hear yourself block an attack

#

or too spell reflect and finding out which boss mechanics can be spell reflected

fervent smelt
#

when the main healer I run with found out prot wars can spell reflect Reaping scythe in ToP he basically shat his pants

leaden dew
#

i was thinking of leveling a warrior from fresh to learn the basics

#

as opposed to boosting

fervent smelt
#

if you run dungeons from 50 on youll be fine

onyx moon
#

pretty sure you can SR Rite of Supremacy in Sanguine depths\

golden tapir
#

Made the swap to necro for fun and so glad I did that with the change to the new leg

#

Man what a day!

fervent smelt
#

i debated it seriously for a while, decided to stay NF.. cant give up ancient aftershock

golden tapir
#

Only bummer now is having to grind out the Anima

#

The shield is really nice and useful 2 min is not a long cd at all and the banner is amazing for alot of mechanics

leaden dew
#

people wont be pissed i cant tank if i level from 50?

hot oxide
stone sonnet
#

is there a list of spells that i can sr?

sweet summit
#

Switched to night fae, f it

#

prot paladin > prot warrior

sweet summit
#

ok

onyx moon
#

blind squirrel eventually finds the acorn

mossy peak
#

arguing that prot paladin or prot warrior is best is like choosing your favorite flavor of mealworm

onyx moon
#

also give it until more stats become available prot warriors scale the hardest

mossy peak
#

ehh id slow your roll on that

onyx moon
#

nah

#

played a prot warrior since wrath this has been a common trend for them

mossy peak
#

being buffed to shit and getting broken items at the end of an expansion

#

thus making them "scale hardest"

onyx moon
#

sure

#

how ever you want to put it we also scale well with stats in general due to passives

mossy peak
#

they way i want to put it is outside by the dumpster along with all other discussions of scaling in modern wow

#

it's just patch by patch tuning and borrowed power these days

#

inherent scaling or lack thereof is just not nearly a factor in comparison

halcyon horizon
#

Wait for Blood DK lol

#

Once the double legendary comes, who will be able to stop them...

mossy peak
#

second leggo = borrowed power

halcyon horizon
onyx moon
#

blood Dk's kit is really good for raiding

#

yeah im not really a fan of the whole barrowed power thing it feels bad

mossy peak
#

trinkets and set bonuses still fall into the same category, just to a lesser extent

mighty valley
#

you'd like the game to feel more the same from expansion to expansion?

onyx moon
#

nah i just think set bonuses would be better

mighty valley
#

isn't that temporary borrowed power too

onyx moon
#

correct

halcyon horizon
#

A kind of borrowed power i enjoy is weapon with cool effects

#

Like Gur'thalak etc...

onyx moon
#

so artifact weapons

halcyon horizon
#

Yes and no

#

Artifacts weapon worked well

#

but i'm thinking more like cool effects like... The 2 handed sword from BFA

onyx moon
#

i think it would be kind of cool is if later in the expansion they allow us to turn our artifact weapons into rune blades like they did with Schalomane and anduin

#

since we cant delete them

halcyon horizon
#

Yeah but they wont do that because it means people will have to unlock them through legion content

#

which they wont do.

onyx moon
#

they would probably include a sort of short cut to get one. Id just like something else to be done with them since its sitting in my bank taking up space

After wow 9.0.5 patch, can I get information about legendary and covenant bis?

hey if i did torghast after already have 8000 soul ash

do i get it mailed after crafting something?

amber siren
#

Afaik yes

limpid pawn
#

you sure

signal plover
#

I would doubt it as it's a cap

elfin nova
#

You just lose it

#

If you do it when capped

merry ocean
#

Wasn't there a problem where people forgot to loot soul ash and they didn't get mail? And even Blizzard said it was intentional

elfin nova
#

Pretty sure

#

Nah they changed it so it goes postmaster if you forget to loot

#

But if you're capped

#

That's different

signal plover
#

Yeah a cap is a limit.

amber siren
#

Nope

#

Sorry that was directed at Brolikk

limpid pawn

so...

it's lost for good?

Mistveil Tender in mists if you forgot to kick her 😄

im just reading that blood elf is master race for m+

but highmountain is a good race for warrior tank

and ive never made a HMT before so that could be cool

Reprisal bis is legs?\

torpid saffron

So, what covenants are you guys playing for prot ? I'm currently playing as Kyrian, have done all 15 keys

#

Has any of you tried Necrolord ? Is it worth it ? Or it's just overrated ?

iron forum
#

i got mythic slg legs the day after crafting legs

ancient pasture
#

Am I right in reading that Condemn does less damage than regular execute because of the AP scaling? Or is it basically the same because of the whole, shadow dmg ignoring armor part?

inland silo
#

it does a bit more because of the shadow damage

limpid pawn
#

am i the only one who doesn't really like the new reprisal style

dark lark
#

You need to be in an organized group with classes that make use of mastery

limpid pawn
torpid saffron
#

So only in organized groups.. thanks

limpid pawn
#

in subcreation it seems like this is the best build for higher keys still

ancient pasture
torpid saffron
ancient pasture
#

@limpid pawn There's people doing +20 with AM too

torpid saffron
#

@dark lark should i stick to this tree of Pelagos ? Or go with Phial of Patience ?

ancient pasture
#

Lmao, snipping tool bro

dark lark
torpid saffron
#

I also saw some Kyrian warrs playing Kleia

dark lark
#

Phial of Patience is nice but not required, I personally go that row if I need a finesse conduit like big rally or safeguard.

torpid saffron
#

Yeah.. you're right

#

So 2 potency conduits are better, right ?

dark lark
#

Eh, show of force is kinda dudu

#

It helps but it's not game breaking

torpid saffron
#

Should i get ashen juggernaut ?
Or what else ?

dark lark
#

Your dps is only increased a tiny bit

torpid saffron
#

I was tryin' 2 work with what i have 😄 And what i saw others used aswell

dark lark
#

Nah if you go second potency then yes go show of force. I'm just saying it's a very minor dps increase

#

I personally do run Phial of patience + finesse conduit based on situation

torpid saffron
#

Nice.. thanks for the tip

dark lark
#

I'm also not Kyrian anymore lol

torpid saffron
#

As for Brutal Vitality against Unnerving Focus ? What do you think... ?

dark lark
#

But when I was, that's what I ran

#

Are you doing keys or raiding?

torpid saffron
#

I thought that Unnerving Focus got a bit more value by running Bolster..

#

Mostly doing keys

dark lark
#

Unnerving Focus turns Last Stand into a dps cooldown

#

I like it for both

torpid saffron
#

But now that we're running Reprisal with AM it feels like it doesn't give us that much value anymore

#

2min cd

dark lark
#

Mechanic where there's lots of bleeds (i.e. sire p3, millicent manastorm, etc) ? Last stand and ignore pain spam. Execute range? Last Stand and spam execute

#

It's was very versatile with bolster, but without bolster you have more freedom on when you use it

#

Brutal Vitality felt very underwhelming to me, even the 226 version

torpid saffron
#

Ok.. so it also increases rage generation from other sources aswell

#

I thought it increased only rage generation via auto-attacks or smth like that

dark lark
#

Yeah. If you hit execute range and drop ravager + spear, its a shitton of rage

torpid saffron
#

Awesome.. thanks for the tip!

#

^^

#

You running Necrolord or Night Fae ?

dark lark
#

I'm night fae

#

I tried necrolord for a week and it was extremely underwhelming for my group and raid

#

(my m+ comp is pwar rsham mm outlaw ww)

ancient pasture
#

I run with a boomkin and fire mage for my push group, and necro still felt not fun to play

dark lark
#

As night fae, I'm doing a good 1k more overall in dungeons than when I was necrolord

ancient pasture
#

And the extra dmg wasn't game changing for us

dark lark
#

I was about to say that would've been THE comp to run with

ancient pasture
#

Like, they enjoyed it. But it felt awful for me

dark lark
#

Yeah, only thing I liked about necro was the transmog

languid flower
#

If you're running The Wall, how important is Anger Management? I've really gotten used to Bolster...

ancient pasture
dark lark
#

At least with night fae my damage is huge, my dps off spec is actually relevant, and I'm a beautiful butterfly

torpid saffron
#

So, you like night fae more than kyrian ?

dark lark
torpid saffron
#

That kyrian potion feels quite useful in Necrotic weeks.. as for spear of bastion, it's kinda good damage and rage generation

dark lark
#

AM let's you use your shield wall extremely liberally for mechanics in raid

languid flower
#

I'm starting mythic CN tonight

#

about how long does it take to come back with AM?

ancient pasture
#

But if you need to have the extra SB uptime for some fight, then go bolster

dark lark
ancient pasture
#

They're both viable and I swap depending on the fight.

dark lark
torpid saffron
#

Thanks for the tips @dark lark, best wishes! ^^

dark lark
#

I run bolster on Huntsman because I tank hecutis and I don't move at all

ancient pasture
dark lark
torpid saffron
#

Oh.. i tried a bit of arms and it didn't feel that bad. But i'm not pushing 20+ keys, so i guess you know it better

dark lark
#

I'm used to kiting necrotic stacks from BFA, I've never actually used Phial for necrotic

#

I did use Phial a lot in plaguefalls though

#

Stupid diseases

torpid saffron
#

Yeah, also some bleeds

#

HOA bears..

dark lark
#

Sadly the bleeds you want to Phial off don't work, like the vanquishers in sun king and sire/remornia

#

Fuck those bears

torpid saffron
#

😄

ancient pasture
#

That bleed in Sunking they changed like 2months into the tier too. Such BS

#

If your Kyrian you can spear+leap to reset stacks on the bears

dark lark
#

Yeah as NF I literally just avatar ravager AA and then haul ass

#

I hold my ground and tank for the 20ish seconds of avatar and some demo shout and then I'm kiting

#

Dogs' jaws of stone hit me through block for like 12k each

#
  • deadly thrust + bleed
#

I low key hate hoa the most

random niche
#

For M+ should I change anything from the norm as far as talents if I run Reprisal?

ancient pasture
dark lark
ancient pasture
#

Ya bsc is pog with Reprisal

dark lark
#

Double time/storm bolt row is preference, crackling thunder/bounding stride is preference

ancient pasture
#

I also never run ravager, but maybe I'm crazy

dark lark
#

Sometimes I accidentally run ITF in a key right after raid but I just roll with it lol

#

Not a big difference maker

ancient pasture
#

Ya, I personally find I waste the rage from ravager too often. But that's a me playing shitty thing.

random niche
#

So BSC is worth it with Reprisal? That was what I was fishing for

dark lark
#

Revenge is my top damage by a lot now with this build

random niche
#

The extra procs of Revenge! looked like it would be. When I saw BSC reworked I really wanted to run it

dark lark
#

The rage is just a bonus for me

primal mauve
#

WHich item slot for reprisal?

dark lark
#

Legs, unless you already have mythic SLG on farm

#

My guild might never kill mythic SLG so I crafted legs

what about Missives?

#

on legs

#

dont have mytthic SLG

@patent osprey

flint roost
#

Sorry what is BSC?

dark lark
#

"PlkaKO Is Necrolord Bis for Prot War in 9.0.5? PlkaKO

I think the change for Necrolord will make Necro BIS for Prot warrior in Raids but I think itll make prot warrior bis for High keys in a very coordinated group. If you are doing keys less than like 20, then Kyrian or NF are probably better for overall play and performance. Trying to align banner in pugs is more difficult than one would think and doesn't help you with initial threat or aggro."

That's from his discord

Yes it is still haste then vers

#

Mastery is still garbo

hot oxide
#

Is thier a haste cap? And can we hit it?

elder whale
#

Reprisal gives us even higher uptime on SB so mastery falls of more in my opinion

#

There are soft caps at 25%

#

But only a 10% penalty

woven trellis
#

hey guys, Head piece 213 major versa + socket

#

or head piece 220 major haste no socket

#

considering im going push towards 20 keys and higher after that

#

minor haste i mean the 220 head piece

#

and major mastery

#

btw, i also have 226 glove minor crit high mastery, would u guys trade those for ilvl 220 haste versa?

sick sentinel
#

Guys, Any opinion about Beating Abomination Core? is good? 194ilvl does anyone have some comparation

dark lark
#

@woven trellis I would go highest ilvl for those slots regardless of socket. You get a lot of main stat which is most important. Jewelry is a different story.

woven trellis
#

wdym jewelry is a different story

undone sun
#

jewelry doesn't give main stat so it's a bit more lenient, but for the most part it's the same

woven trellis
#

it does if u chose to put 7 str

undone sun
#

that's not the slot itself, just socket

woven trellis
#

im sorry i feel dumb im just not sure what u mean like related to my question

#

are u saying that having a socket doesnt change that ilvl wtv happens

#

like

#

we talkin about a helm with no socket a major main stat which is the worst for m+

#

against a helm that is just 1 bracket ilvl lower (220 to 213) with socket, and a huge bunch of the most important stat

elfin nova
#

What's the difference in str

#

Helm is (one of) the slot where ilvl is strongest, it has high stat budget

#

If you're going to push 20 keys you should just farm darkfrost helmet and upgrade that to 220 (and add a socket), if you can't get mythic sire helm or a 226 pvp one that is

#

But str stam and armor all matter and secondaries are not that impactful. If you really want to optimise for vers you just have to go and do pvp

woven trellis
woven trellis
#

from m+

elfin nova
#

Sure

#

Re: the helm question, it will be pretty close together because of the socket but it really won't make that much of a difference

rocky garnet
#

im sure this has been asked a million times

#

but is this beating abomination core good

elfin nova
#

Nightfae

#

No wait

#

Uh it's not bad for the ilvl but if you have decent options from raid/dungeons it's probably not worth using

rocky garnet
#

damnune

#

souinds cool

elfin nova
#

If you are still gearing it's not a bad choice. Queensguard vigil was up on eu the other day and is decent for the ilvl too

i just have pvp trinkets atm cause just starting playing prot again since bfa

Definitely gonna be better than your medallion then yes :p

#

hi guys, im wondering what the usual uptime for ignore pain in m+

#

im having around 30%

#

is it too low

plush tendon
#

uptime on Ignore pain is not all that important, and should only be used should you need it; the rage spent on ignore pain is rage that couldve been spent on SB. Purpose of ignore pain is to eliviate heavy magic, bleed, dot damage not necesarrily melee

#

not saying dont press it if you have the excess rage, I jus wouldnt worry about uptime

#

also, looking at a couple of random logs of prot wars in 18 keys, it looks to be around 35% uptime

#

another guy at 25%, so you are probably using it fine, just make sure you are using it at the right time rather then using it all the time

amber siren
#

Up time is dependant on rage and what content you’re doing, there’s no rule for it

#

IP is just a filler, it’s not active mitigation

undone verge
#

I need to know how to improve at these m+ keys, right now im stuck at barely timing +7-9, or not timing at all. One group ive singled out as special was a +9 DoS, and was one where we were going to lose on time by a few minutes, until we wiped on the last boss due to grievous but the packs of mobs in there were hitting me super hard, and I was wondering if it was me, or just an average healer and slow dps (more info: one dps pulled 1.7k, the other two pulled 3.2 and 4.7. And the healer pulled 3.1 hps)

floral pewter
#

What's your ilvl?

undone verge
#

196

floral pewter
#

That should be fine for +9s

1.7k is awful DPS, but with the other two it's not crazy bad overall

undone verge
#

for reference that was for the entire dungeon and I pulled 2.3k

#

what about the healing because I noticed I was getting hit hard by packs that normally dont hit as hard

floral pewter
#

Using Shield Block and cooldowns at appropriate times is what keeps you alive

undone verge
#

yeah I got a weakaura that allows me to keep pretty high and efficient uptimes, but the packs were dying so slowly, Id run out of defensives

floral pewter
#

Grievous+Fortified can indeed hit you hard, DoS has some nasty trash packs

#

Kiting is also an option to keep in mind

#

If you're out of defensives, tclap for snare, then leap away

undone verge
#

yeah thats usually what would end up happening

#

then id get sniped by a cast

#

thing is for the first group in dos I usually use last stand, and for the second I use shield wall, and usually save my kyrian pots, or healthstones for oh shit kinda moments, but by the end of the first pack I was depleted of every cd but shield wall, cause the packs werent dying

mighty valley
#

It's usually smart to bloodlust that first pack since at a normal pace you'll have it back for hakkar anyway, so it doesn't drain you as long

#

But depending on gear, it's often right to get as much threat as you can during your opening CDs and then start kiting as soon as they run out

#

For the second pack, do the same thing with shield wall, but interrupting shadowcores is important there so it's not all on you

undone verge
#

yeah I usually try to maintain a presence at the pack until the one big guy enrages, when I heroic leap or intercept out and kite until it ends

#

then pop a round of shield block and ignore pain until they die

#

oh that reminds me of another thing. No one was interrupting, after a while it got a bit better, but every scribe, and shadowcore was coming straight at me

mighty valley
#

well

undone verge
#

and im sitting over here low health trying to kite out of range of the caste who I marked as skull and said to interrupt but who still had as much health as the melee

#

getting sniped by magic dmg as a warrior

mighty valley
#

best you can do is spell reflect basically on cooldown

undone verge
#

yeah which I will admit I am shit at

#

but im trying to get better

#

ill get a couple spell reflects a group

#

im gonna run a key and see how it goes with my my new information

mighty valley
#

DOS is those three bad packs (one of which has a jar) and then good ardenweald pulling and that's about it

#

but those packs are among the roughest

undone verge
#

yeah, I noticed the dungeon was much easier with a group all pulling 4k dps and actually stunning/interupting

#

hi, i noticed prot warriors are doing well, so figured might swap to protection,

#

what is the best covenant rn and best lego?

#

mainly focusing on m+ but tank

tame jasper
#

all except venthyr are good

#

Necro more for grps that known each other to coordinate the banner

cobalt marten
#

pvp wise kyrian is the way or necro?

tame jasper
#

Kyrian and NF are more general with some like NF more due movement etc, others kyrian for phial

#

I don't play pvp

cobalt marten
#

thanks man

tame jasper
#

I'm kyrian, for spear and phial

cobalt marten
#

but lego wise?

#

ill go kyrian then

tame jasper
#

most say; reprisal for m+, the wall for raid. I go fine with this. reprisal is fun

cobalt marten
#

how about the thunder?

#

i saw utube guides bout the the thunderclap lego

tame jasper
#

thunder was m+ before the patch, when repirsal got changed completly

cobalt marten
#

okay cool

#

reprisal kyrian it is

#

thanks man

#

😄

tame jasper
#

Have fun 🙂

#

Nah nah

#

Go Nightfae

#

@cobalt marten

#

It has little to do with the movement

#

Nightfae pumps damage and AA is far more valuable than spear in terms of its actual CC

Wait, if AA knock them down every 3 seconds, for exaple, almost none of those nasty spell on first big pull in DOS for its duration?

Hey fellow warriors ✊🏼 I’ve a question regarding Mythic raiding. If you are abit undergeared (215 ish) What legendary would you recommend for best defensiv mitigation? Thanks

Well a bit lower

The earliest kills were both lower iLvl and had lower renown, so less Stamina and fewer Soulbind powers/conduits

Kyrian is best for pugging right?

Kyrian or Nightfae

#

Both are great

#

kyrian pot is undeniable, night fae and reprisal lets ya get in there a whompin and a stompin hard

#

aint wrong to pick either

#

but i would say if you multi spec i'd lean night fae unless you pvp

Yo guys, im starting to do 19+ Keys now, and somehow i feel my conduits are not ideal (Kyrian), Currently i use Pelagos with "Piercing Verdict", "Stalwart Guardian", "Show of Force", "Unnerving Focus" [2x Potency, 2x Endurance] ; But somehow i dont feel "Show of Force" in higher Keys, what do you guys think? Im thinking about going 1x Finesse (Rallying Cry thing), 2x Endurance (same as above) and getting rid of Show of Force. And what do you think about going Kleia and Mikanikos? Probably not that good huh

odd verge
#

For the fun of it, I swapped to bring a necroboi. It does make be a little more tanky but it... Feels a little.... clunky. The 3-sec channel just doesn’t fit with the speed/fluidity of using reprisal and Banner feels a little.... lack luster.

Swapped from Kyrian so I might give NF a go.

Kleia has some potential optional uses on Necrotic weeks etc but in general Pelagos is the go-to jeah

Kleia Sims higher for me 👍 on ST and on multitarget so I just roll with my girl

On ST it's ~1% DPS increase.
On AoE(5 targets) it's around 2-3%

#

Just finished implementing it in SIMC yesterday so both this and Unnerving should be in soon.

TC is like 6-7% of your dmg in total

@odd verge i really like emeni, on big pull i generate aggro and if i dont have big cd up just fleshcraft and dodge shit on ground, poggers

Buffing that by 20% is not really huge
