death lotus is 100% avoidable dam

#

scribes should only be on you

torpid wolf
#

So skip the Hakkar pull, and do the rage spirit after?

signal plover
#

Tbh I just kite the fuck outta the 2nd pull

mossy sluice
#

^

#

thats what i do

signal plover
#

I usually have a healer external on pull there tho cuz I burn SW on the 1st

mossy sluice
#

shadowcore will like one shot you if you dont reflect/interrupt it

#

its the big purpley boy who casts it

signal plover
#

Yeah jump in, gather, then focus on kicking shadowcore, pump threat for a few more seconds then gtfo

torpid wolf
#

When you say jump in, you mean charge in, right? 😛

inland raft
#

Trees are a life saver on both of those pulls

obtuse bane
#

how much better is prot now with new legendary?

mossy sluice
#

at least 3% better

obtuse bane
#

not 2.5%?

inland raft
#

If you can stand the degenerate playstyle its really solid now

#

I love it

hearty terrace
#

Why is it defenerate ?

inland raft
#

Makes me feel like a momentum dh

spring umbra
#

makes me feel like a woman

hearty terrace
#

Why so? Not looked in to the lego yet what does it do and how does it change our play style

sturdy sable
#

Charge gives you 4s of block 20 rage and the Revenge! Proc

mossy sluice
#

intervene as well

sturdy sable
#

And intervene

mossy sluice
#

so its a lot of movement abilities for block uptime

hearty terrace
#

Okay then cool

#

Also necro worth playing over anything else or nah

fossil sparrow
#

Yes, shield cool

#

although I'm a pleb so

#

still have no idea how/why the banner keeps unequipping itself tho

sturdy sable
#

Did you want the long answer as well?

hearty terrace
#

Yeah sure I do like to know why behind yes or no

sturdy sable
#

Aight so

#

Banner requires alot of set up that will not be possible outside of coordinated groups

#

And even with said set up the DPS increase is close to or worse then other options for warrior

#

It does have value and uses

#

But aside from niche burn it's not much

fossil sparrow
#

yeah but..

#

I can max stack sire

#

think about it

sturdy sable
#

Youll get more value out of NF kyrian in m+ and venth is quite strong in raid for dps

hearty terrace
#

Ah okey then cool sounds good 👍

sturdy sable
#

Buuut

#

Necrolord has the best tmog

#

So

hearty terrace
#

😂

fossil sparrow
#

I already regret swapping necro

#

given how it's completely cucked me out of playing arms or fury

#

without wanting to neck

sturdy sable
#

I'm sorry for your loss

#

I swapped from venth to NF and it's great

fossil sparrow
#

on the plus side, necro arms in arena?

#

tanky af

sturdy sable
#

0 regrets

#

Yeah but like arms doesn't need to be tanky when it 1 shots folks

fossil sparrow
#

covenants being class specific and not spec is probably the biggest letdown for me

sturdy sable
#

💯

fossil sparrow
#

even more so with how unbalanced covenants are across classes

#

can't think of a single class that can benefit from all 4covs across one spec

#

let alone all of them

sturdy sable
#

NF for warriors is pretty even stevens

fossil sparrow
#

main is nf, druid, never really gave nf warrior a think tbh

north pecan
#

Its always better to not be NF, if you + oriented as a tank. The dungeon cov is worth far more than you being NF

distant crystal
#

shadowpriest all 4 covs are dec

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, Prot's covenants are pretty flexible, if you run with a static group it's better to pick up what your group needs and if you don't then I promise every DPS and their mother are night fae

NF for the mog

lime trail
#

Tips for keeping Stavros damage low at the start of Council?

plush saffron
#

his stacking ability?

mossy sluice
#

just taunt swap on 2 stacks of lunge/riposte

lime trail
#

Even at the start with all three bosses up? My raid group just sucks it up and sticks with what we take at pull, main tank w/ Nik+Frieda and me with Stav

plush saffron
#

should only get like 4 before the push

lime trail
#

I get to 3 by when dance happens/when Nik dies and we start taunt swapping but it still hits like a truck by then, do I just need to go in swinging with defensives?

plush saffron
#

what else you going to use them on?

lime trail
#

True, true

quick question are there any talents i should use if i use Reprisal?

Am I able to do twisting corridors to get upper reach for leggo?

dapper coral
#

Shield Block first two, SB+Demo/LS next two, SB+SW 5th. Anything slower and you probably won't have the dps for the fight anyway

dapper coral
#

The kill with my warrior we 5 healed it and I only got 3 or 4 Lunges on either side of the dance

north pecan
#

Im sad... I hit 7k dps on my brew master in a 19 NW.... highest on my war is 4k

forest fern
#

Be aware shield block only works on lunge if you turn a 180 at the end of the cast as he ports away. Can’t block attacks from behind as standard

lavish oracle
#

Mmm, I've done 5k overall in wake without weapons so 7k seems doable

#

16 and 17s, though so ymmv

tame jasper

Maybe that's the case why I missed my last KSM run (SD 15) yesteday by 5 sec 😦

What's ur ilvl @lavish oracle? Just curious

lavish oracle

tranquil edge
#

My prot is like my 4th tank for this patch but he's only getting 4.5k with weapons at 185,which is obvs dogshit gear

tranquil edge
lavish oracle
#

Yeah, I'm not like good or optimizing for damage by any means, I'm sure it's possible to pull crazy numbers in there

tranquil edge
#

Same here. Getting reused to Prot in a bit of a different meta atm

#

It's really capable tho, which is good. My main bdk already garbage dps-wise vs. Prot

lavish oracle
#

our AoE has always been pretty good this xpac, for sure, I think people were kinda sleeping on it until the buffs

#

(Obviously it's much better now, though)

tranquil edge
#

Yeah I thought so as well tbh. Just hoping for a decent buff like we just got. Also hoping for maybe 1-2 more.
Stuff like BM monk has so many tools it still feels like it has a huge advantage in M+

lavish oracle
#

BM has always been one of those tanks with such a versatile tool kit in the right hands

#

I think prot just out tanks it at the moment, though

tranquil edge
#

Out tanks it how?
Physical dmg I can believe, but man do I feel it if a magic cast goes off during our rage downtime

lavish oracle
#

I think that's always going to be true of damage you weren't planning on taking for prot, though

#

Like, prot has the tools for magic mitigation between reflect, demo, and wall

#

And ip

small marsh
#

My biggest trouble this week has just been finding DPS who aren't fucking brain dead

sand condor
#

Lol same

#

How hard is it to press interrupts

small marsh
#

Just called off a +13 NW because the DPS weren't killing adds on Amarth

lavish oracle
#

I've just had trouble finding healers, haha

#

No one wants to heal this week

small marsh
#

Yeah no one wants to head grievous

#

Heal

lavish oracle
#

Every healer I know just like logged off for the week, lmao

small marsh
#

I don't blame them

#

Grievous is cancer

#

And spiteful makes it worse because people are too dumb to cc their ghosts

lavish oracle
#

My biggest pet peeve is DPS who run away from the ghosts the opposite way of the next pack

#

Haven't had too many just standing getting hit

#

But it's a huge time sink when you have to just like

#

Wait for them to handle their ghost

#

Instead of kiting them into the next pull

tame jasper
#

Does anyone knows an weak aura, that highlights an alarm when attack an specific monster?

tame jasper
#

I missed my SD 15 run by 5sec yesterday and the one mistake I did was not turning the last gargoyle around to avoid his "breath/cleave" cause I was so full adrenaline (maybe) finishing this run in time 😦 Yeah it was not the only mistake we did as a group but the one, where I was definitly the cause and which lost us more than 5 secs

coral agate
#

@small marsh Ye IKR.. last reset i started to gear up my shaman. started with a 2 key and then later in the week we spammed 10 keys, was quite fun. Then this week?! Geez.. Ive only done one 10 and wont do any more this week i think. Was such a struggle 😦

#

I'm 99% fury but I like to keep my Prot up to date from time to time, like changing gear etc. So Im thinking of crafting a leggo for prot but not rly sure witch one to pick, I rarely use Prot in any serious way so I guess it doesn't matter that much but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The Wall? The Reprisal? Saw some guy in the wow forum mention Seismic Reverberation?!

#

Do you guys prefer Booty Clap or Bounding Stride for M+?

Alright boys

5th tank this xpac

#

Sell me on Kyrian vs Night Fae

#

Night Fae CC seems really nice and Niya is a strong soulbind, + 2nd potency doesn't seem that valuable for prot

urban tusk
#

Night Fae is super fun and it does big boi dmg

#

Kyrian is very solid, but kinda boring imo

lone eagle
#

Kyrian is only softcapped while Night Fae appears to be hard 5 target capped

#

similar dilemma to VDH Night Fae vs Kyrian it seems

#

Hmm

strong forum

What level are you tanking?

I'll primarily be doing 19-21s on this alt

May switch to it for M Denathrius if our warrs continue to scrub out

#

@strong forum thakn you

lone eagle
#

primarily a Brew and VDH main

#

but I have warrior xp in past xpacs

#

I'm currently leaning Night Fae, but just wondering how people are feeling about the night fae target cap in practice

strong forum
#

NF is more dmg and can cc caster packs better
Kyrian Hits more targets thus more aggro and the tether is nice vs jumpy Bois and you get potion

lone eagle
#

Yeah, the biggest selling point for NF seems to be the pseudo interrupt in keys

#

How solid is warrior snap aggro feeling?

#

In high teen keys, are you finding yourself losing a lot of stray targets when you have to kite early into a pull?

#

(ie big 7-10 mob opening pulls on Halls of Atonement, for example)?

strong forum
#

Na with having spear, aggro is piss easy, if you don't have it and the targets aren't grouped up, it can be troublesome cuz we don't have have alot of tools for spread aggro

#

Besides challenging shout

lone eagle
#

Challenging Shout is a true taunt a la black ox statue AoE taunt right?

#

ie, it provides a 300% aggro amp on affected targets?

#

So Challenging > Spear would be uber aggro?

#

Looks like a lot of top io prot warriors were Night Fae during a lot of their pushes but have switched to Necro since

#

Obv Necro is lower output but any thoughts on that @strong forum? Just them optimizing around buffing their comp or are they finding the 400 mastery really valuable for facetanking longer for higher damage output?

blazing condor
#

They use banner in coordination with their team for damage purposes

#

Mastery is a nice bonuss

ionic nimbus
#

Necro is filling covenant Gap in many groups

strong forum
#

Especially since you won't have dps playing kyrian for m+

#

So either tank and healer will be cucked into kyrian anyway

lone eagle
#

True

#

That's my biggest hesitation on doing non Kyrian

jade tartan
#

I mean most highkeys are anyway with a hpal

lone eagle
#

covenant spear is super useful for Spires

#

and my usual healer is generally a rsham

strong forum
#

Yeah and they're venthyr, feng

jade tartan
#

And they usually have a mage boomkin

strong forum
#

Rsham is necro

#

Mage and boomy are nightfae

jade tartan
#

So that leaves spot for 1 random dps

strong forum
#

And that dps is probably hunter or spriest, and they're nightfae aswell

jade tartan
#

And usually tanks are expected to be kyrian

lone eagle
#

Don't ask why, but my current scuffed comp is VDH > Spriest/Wwmonk/fire mage > rsham

strong forum
#

Rogue is necro or... Idk what rogues are

jade tartan

I mean my comp is rsham pwar firemage elesham X

Cuz off the buff

Yeah but we play for fun

And rshamans can be vent or necro

I went to vulpera as a meme on launch, but liked the small models and mog, then it also happened to be the best so I just stuck with it

lone eagle
#

Vulpera racial is really nice for buying you 2s at the start of the pull though to generate and set up

#

Super valuable for BDK too

Yah im surprised bdks aren't vulpera

i have done all 20's on my monk, we kinda all re-rolled and play different classes and we play around the necro banner as well

Is Kleia really out simming Pelagos now or is it based off of whether or not your pushing very high keys ?

hey i play fury mainly but want to try prot out in dungeons, probably just up to 15, would i be seriously worse off as venthyr??

waxen cradle

I mean duh Pelagos = defensive, Kleia = offensive with the crit bonus, but still

wide pilot

#

Nah that’s nothing

#

Barely any difference

And even if it was, physical damage is a huge percentage of damage compared to magical

In most dungeons

Also at this point I highly doubt they will change anything with VDH's with us this far into the first season what would be the point. Wait until we go into 9.1 and switch things up then

If you manage your cds and block warrior is best mitigation, just make sure to have something for magic damage and be good at managing group kicks

Best combo is double vdh, if you wouldn't have to cover any kind of unique raid buffs or raid CDs

#

Next tier will prolly be monk prot war if you take everything into account, cuz havoc is a good dps now, so you don't need vdh as buff slave but can now being prot war to bring shout and rally, and Monk cuz monk

#

Unless the raid is incredibly heavy on magic dmg

heavy sail
#

I don’t think prot warrior is a necessity or anything you could sub pretty much anything for the second slot

#

BrM definitely essential now

#

Because you won’t bring either of the other two specs

#

And yeah havoc isn’t a detriment anymore

strong forum
#

Well so is War, unless dps specs shine more

heavy sail
#

Idk I think Fury is good enough now to bring one, or arms even.

strong forum
#

Yeah but pwar brings everything a dps war brings, vdh doesn't bring darkness, pally guardian also don't bring anything, only bdk but uh/fdks are good enough for amz

I have two questions if we play with reprisal is best served cold better than booming voice? And when should i pick ravager over into the fray?

heavy sail
#

Pally guardian is a meme, I would do that maybe if WW wasn’t just nerfed into oblivion.

#

I value the huge tank dam

#

And guardian is unkillable

#

And has absurd offheals

strong forum
heavy sail
#

Yeah pwar has an essential raid buff and that’s even more of a case to bring them over a DPS warrior if they’re even more shit in 9.1

#

BDK is just kinda there, tbh.

Good

Their survivability is pretty strong already though and I feel like if we get double legendaries or some kinda buff in the next tier they could be broken though.

Maybe you guys can help me making my mind up, I started out with my warrior again and I will multispec with it. As far as I can tell Kyrian seems like the best option for an all purpose pick (tank, pvp, dps) - Am I completely wrong there, I still can't quite wrap my head around necrolord tbh 😄

strong forum
#

Necrolord is a meme

#

NF is best if you want to multispec in pve

#

Kyrian is best if you want to multispec and also play pvp

heavy sail
#

Kyrian is definitely the best across all forms of content.

#

But literally every option is good enough.

brisk sparrow
#

then I think, considering my possible m+ comp (mostly nighfae so far) I should really go for kyrian...I will miss condemn though, but it feels soooo useless as tank^^

heavy sail

Play what you want

#

Condemn is awesome as a tank in raids.

Go nightfae for the pumper is my vote 😀 that’s what I’m going to do I think

offtanking is fine with venthyr, but in m+ I feel like it won't be as good

All the hottest dudes are going necrolord

strong forum
#

Only betas go necro

#

I haven’t looked at the leaderboards for m+ in a hot minute, but the rank 1 player for some time was Venthyr

So that’s a clear indicator that this shit doesn’t matter that much.

Necrolord is good if your group is Very coordinated

How’s the coordinations in your group

And how much do you care about your own performance

honestly

#

if you have to ask, just go night fae over necrolord

dude i def wouldn't go necro if you're coming back to prot for fun

yeh, def NF or kyr imo

Yep

Nf is most fun to me

Necrolord is only something I would go if i found a group to really run with

But pugging :/

quick question, if im tanking m+ and dps in raid is kyrian is bad choice? any better options?

kyrian is great for tanking

but its not the best for dps

#

Eh not for dps

sweet summit
#

an amazing middle ground is night fae

sand condor
#

Unless you pvp as arms

#

Yep nf is good at everything and best for the aoe dps

#

So if you’re swapping between specs. Nf is solid

#

Always

pallid helm
#

got it thanks!

true bison
#

@sand condor so I run keys with a guild group, discord and all. And while I do want fun it’s also nice to be able to have good performance and I just didn’t know if necro was having a bigger impact then NF but after looking at everything and also wanting to play dps in raid some times I think NF way to go

sand condor
#

Yes.

#

Nf is the way

#

Necrolord may be an upgrade to your group if it is ysed very well.

true bison
#

I guess I also need to think about what our team comp is with covenants, don’t want a all NF group and not be able to use other dungeon mechanics

I kind of struggle to utilize reprisal correctly, how do you guys refresh SB midpull? Jump away and charge in again? I mean intervene works only once per pull and "only" gives me 4 seconds

blazing condor

id assume so too

blazing condor
#

dont usually have to leap charge

sand condor
#

intervene a melee

#

intervene a ranged and charge back

#

jump off something and charge back up

#

there's a lot of stuff you can do

#

and its mostly just down to how creative you can get

#

get a preist to pull you out

#

oh a druid can knock some back

#

yeh its just being creative with the things your group can and will do

amber siren
#

The easiest way to charge for reprisal is just putting some distance between a caster in the pack and you

Wont my dps hate me if i do that?

You don't need very much distance

I mean nw parses mean literally nothing when damage scaling with weapons gets more and more insane as key level goes up.

Two lucky crit spear tosses through 10 mobs and you've added millions of damage.

If brew is your main there's quite a ways between 215 and 230

But you also have battle shout +monk debuff, and I do think brew does more damage

Hello all. I have few questions to you guys prot warriors. Trying remodel mittigation for prot warriors in addon called hekili. Maybe few of you know about it, its addon that show you prio on spels using SimC profiles.

I have few Q about your opinion about mittiagation and when use it.

  1. Shield block : I setup it at conditions: if more than 1000 dmg incoming in less than 2 sec then recomend use shield block. This will mostly suggest use shield block on CD.

Is this ok or something you will change here ?

  1. Ignore pain. Here is recomendation to use it when more than 5000 dmg incoming in 3 sec window or Shield Block is down and charge is more than 3 sec.

So here my idea is that you use ignore pain only on heavy dmg incoming with shield block up or when shield block down . What do you think about this model ? Idea was here to save rage to spend it for more Revenge cast.

  1. Revenge. Model for this spell is like : use it when free revenge cast and when more than 70 rage. Idea is here for avoid caping rage but also have rage for shield block and ignore pain if heavy dmg inc.

Also there is Q here at pull , you use first shield slam then free revenge from lego or first revenge then shield slam ?

Thanks for any suggestions and tips and sorry for miss leaters , writing this from phone

elfin nova
#

That's a lot of words

strong forum
#

You couldn't possibly write a model that won't suck.

wanton condor
#

if you're using hekeli for tanking you're doing it wrong imo

#

honestly you're doing it wrong for dps as well but that's another story

strong forum
#

Abandon the idea of using it, it will not help you go play properly

grizzled nova
#

Ideally you're operating in a world where you know what defensives you want to use for which situations ahead of time because you know what your intake profile will look like.

#

Which makes the entire idea behind this redundant.

sick sentinel
#

This is not for me, its for new prot warriors but trying do some model to show when use it for players that use hekili because atm mitigation from hekili sucks as hell in my opinion

wanton condor
#

this isn't really going to help them either

grizzled nova
#

I wouldn't recommend new prot warriors do this at all.

#

Just practice more to better develop a feel for which mobs are going to cause them problems in specific pulls, so they can arrive at a reasoned choice to use a defensive to mitigate a circumstance.

#

Not because some addon told them to.

sick sentinel
#

Still many players use it so this is reason why u try model this mitigation as good its possible ofc its not 100% accourate but trying best

wanton condor
#

the problem with trying to model it like this is that it'll likely give you bad results because tanking is so moment ot moment decision based

#

and reinforce bad habits

hollow stump
#

so the addon tells you to use mitigation but in the meantime a monk legsweeps the pack

#

and the mitigation is lost

sick sentinel
#

So this is reason why i try model it with inc dmg in fraction of time 2 to 5 sec timeline

#

While i play i know for what pack i need ignore for what only SB and for another nothing becauae i have trees from druid or vortex or binding etc

noble nacelle
#

This is still reactionary insead of proactive. It's better to learn mobs and what they do and act in that understand. The helikili may recommend a defensive when it's not needed and then it's not available next pack where it would be needed.

sick sentinel
#

No no i wont model def like shield wall etc only SB and Ignore pain in this model

#

No sence modeling huge defs because its waste of time

grizzled nova
#

I wouldn't say there's much sense in modelling shield block and ignore pain, either.

hollow stump
#

how will the addon know if there is dmg incoming? with the different keystone lvls

grizzled nova
#

Are you getting melee'd by something and have a shield block available and don't need it for some more important mechanic within the next sb cooldown? Press shield block.

near gazelle
#

If you want to do something for new warrior tanks you should work on a pull by pull dmg profile for each dungeon with specific suggestions. And even then you can only talk about priority and conditions

grizzled nova
#

But again, the vastly more important bit is developing an intuitive understanding of the pain point timings from pull to pull to pull and how best to apply defensives to mitigate those pain points.

#

And no mod will teach you that, only experience will.

hollow stump
#

this makes as much sense as developing a healer spell rotation addon

sick sentinel
#

@hollow stump. With new lego its much easier to model, because you have 4 sec shield block at each pack pull, in this 4 sec addon calculating dmg in real time you take and making prio on mittigation that i am working here.

I know thats not possible to get great mittigation model but basic theory model will be better than this what is now on hekili example shield block on CD and ingore pain allways when 50 rage...

elfin nova
#

Why do you need to improve something noone should use

copper scroll
#

I think you're still missing the point. Its not gonna help anyone. Its gonna be a detriment to anyone using it no matter how well you develop it

hollow stump
sick sentinel
#

Atm if i remeber corectly more than 6000 prot warriors using it dealy

copper scroll
#

Lol thats some serious bs

#

Are you getting your data from reddit?

strong forum
#

Are there even 6k prot warriors

hollow stump
#

do you think there will be atleast 1 case where the healer is like "dude why arent you using any mitigation wtf" and the warrior is like" my addon told me not to"

stable kernel
#

i mean my brand new 1k io prot warr is top 6k world

sick sentinel
#

Ofc i see your opion here. Cuz i will model it leater using my perdonal xp :) anyway thanks for help.

Remeber that inc. Not obly 60 lv prot warriors but all in range 10 to 60 :)

#

Ah and thre was weekly not every day my bad :)))

wanton condor
#

I'm not sure what doing mit for <60 affects

hollow stump
#

when you think about it, the high lvl warrior tanks will know where to use mitigation, and the low lvl ones should use mitigation everywhere (when i say lvl i mean lvl of play)

copper scroll
#

Or should atleast learn when 2

sick sentinel
#

Ye you all right i was learing prot 1 whole patch in bfa till i realy started play as Prot and understand each pack. Example is pack in DOS were are 5 casters 😆😆 no model will help you if you dont know what to do there

copper scroll
#

On that pack you bring your dh tank to sigil them

hollow stump
#

if you take an example keystone lvl tanks lvls 5 10 15 and 20, anyone below a 10 should use mitigation always, and anyone above it should know when to use it by then

sick sentinel
#

I hope that Prot warriors will use hekilii only till 10 , because you are right in hingher keys need to know when and how spend your rage :)

Hey, as already mentioned I'm trying to get my KSM done in random grps and i often get flamed for taking to much damage. After you suggested to get some logs to give better tips I recoreded the runs from yesterday evening (havn't done any today): Can you give me tipps on what to work on to improve? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/j48NXLCav3GDwFcx

dapper coral
#

Venthyr is prolly the worst in keys but arguably the best for pvp

amber herald
#

any of the covs are the good

dapper coral
#

Briefly looking at those logs @tame jasper the dps is all the runs seemed low. Low dps means mobs live longer means you take more

tame jasper
#

Hm

dapper coral
#

You also are pushing IP probably way too much. Look at the event log for IP and notice how many times you see "IP fades (remaining: n)

topaz root
#

so, im techinically an arms main but i might need to tank for tonight Blood council mythic as progress, when Stavros does his "charge" can we use anything outside of Ignore pain to mitigate it as he charges from behind?

dapper coral
#

Everything works, especially SB

#

Its just visually like that

topaz root
#

SB still works? oh though it was completly Fed since the animation is from behind, thats quite nice

dapper coral
#

Wait, I'm a lair. SB doesn't work lol

#

IP, LS, SW, external

toxic prairie
dapper coral
#

Groups like that are gonna be rough for any tank. I'd venture to say even worse for Warriors due to very low self healing and magic defense

void slate
#

Basically, i pugged KSM as a tank, DH, not warrior, but that's irrelevant, since the point is that with some groups i feel squishy as all hell while with some i feel immortal. Looked over details and the different in interrupts, CCs, other people not taking avoidable damage and the dps output is staggering. If your group is doing their job, you'll notice an incredible difference in your survivability... simple as that

#

(Unless you're not using your own CDs correctly etc, ofc)

#

@tame jasper try using Idomitable

nocturne sage
#

is pelagos still the preferred soulbind for kyrian prot?

tame jasper
near gazelle
#

Impending victory is meh, you are going for AM, BSC and reprisal, you are super focus on spending rage, might as well heal every 10

#

Idomitable is like 30% of my self-heals match IP in almost every run

#

Plus extra health helps with magic shotguns / gimps

tame jasper
#

hm ASM instead of bolster means much less uptime of SB, right?

#

I don't event get near the 80% many people here post with even having bolster

sick sentinel
#

stupid question, new prot warrior main - a guildmate is telling me i should be taking a 10ilvl downgrade because i would be losing 2%-3% haste. I told him the armor and hp pool would make up for that

dapper coral
#

Raw uptime is a bad metric, effective uptime is a better one

sick sentinel
#

is it true i should be taking a downgrade to keep high haste

#

haste right now is 12% w/o into the fray buff

dapper coral
#

ilvl is the best. The only exceptions are rings/necks but even then, I wouldn't give up a ton of ilvl to have my "preferred" stats

#

Indomitable is way better than IV

sick sentinel
#

I just see stam. as one of the best stats for most tanks

near gazelle
#

@tame jasper im also looking at 11 demo cast on 41min dungeon. You could do at least 30 more

dapper coral
#

Stamina is whatever. More armor and strength (which also gives armor) is big

sick sentinel
#

so I should be taking the 10 ilvl upgrade even if i lose 3% haste

tame jasper
keen oasis
#

Is 718 haste too much? :D

sick sentinel
#

didn't really think losing 3% is a big deal, but hes making it out to be huge

#

i suppose it increase my SB cooldown to 1 sec, but the stam will make up for that... again this is w/o into the fray

near gazelle
#

That can explain a lot why you are taking a lot of extra dmg. Aside from that and testing the other talent, you are Gucci

dapper coral
#

again, ilvl is more or less king. Jewelry and trinkets get a pass because of how their stats are allocated. Haste is best overall but that's not to say the other 3 are bad. All stats are almost equal for prot warriors

sick sentinel
#

cool... so almost like prot paladin ilvl>stats

dapper coral
#

pmuch all tanks are ilvl over stats

sick sentinel
#

cool cool, thats what i thought

#

switching off of prot paladin cause warriors just feel better in keys

dapper coral
#

all tanks feel good, just in different scenarios

sick sentinel
#

granted only done 13s thus far and my paladins have done 15s.. but warriors

#

just feel more fun

#

and thats really it

sweet summit

  1. always use indom, anything else on that row is way worse
  2. you only managed 65% blocked hits (in the NW), that number should be closer to 80% with reprisal
  3. you only used SW 6 times in a 35 minute dungeon. you couldve used it almost 3 more times. same thing with Last Stand, as youre even using Bolster. (should be Anger Management with reprisal imo. which makes only 65% even worse :/)
  4. over the course of the NW you wasted close to 500 rage. thats 5 FULL RAGE BARS GONE!!. never overcap rage. ever
    @tame jasper
tame jasper
#

So you mean SW / LS almost on CD?

#

even in easy grps?

#

Maybe I'm still (had an 8year break) too oldschool with saving my CDs for "the bad moments" ?

sweet summit
#

use them to fill downtime in shield block

dapper coral
#

you can use SW/LS to focus more on spending rage for offense too

hazy thicket

if you know that it isnt required to live an upcoming pull, see if you can combine pulls

tame jasper

yeah thats kinda outdated, you just rotate cooldowns as if they were shield block nowadays

hm okay will try to improve that

How much haste is too much haste do we think lads

haste is our best stat other than strength (ilvl)

i dont think you are able to reach "too much haste" this tier

so thats not something worth worrying about

spring mountain

Okay but if i use a ring the ends up losing my vers, gaining a shitload of haste and a bit of mast

sweet summit

vers is not a stat you specifically need a lot of to do anyting

more overall stats is usually better

Guys, i'm switching from guardian druid to prot warrior, one thing i'm a bit nervous about tho, is it hard to learn when to shield block? Or does it just come naturally

Getting melee'd, shield block

Not getting melee'd, don't shield block

are you taking blockable damage? (melee hits) if yes, keep it up

Bargast leash for CN - still shit right?

there are more things than just melee hits that are blockable, you might wanna check out the sheet in the pins for that

its dogshit yea

Jokes aside @sick sentinel, it's pretty easy. You can't spam it like IF but it works more or less the same. You have to be a more mindful of your rage though compared to a GDruid

Since we don't use BV anymore, do we still demo shout on CD or is it better to use it when SB isn't up?

shut summit

yea most ive seen just kill it now after the nerfs, but if your dps is tragic can still kite

#

was done without leaper as well, just makes it little easier if you're havin problems

Reprisal playstyle is ass

Why are you guys even arguing about playstyle?
It's such a personal preference thing.

You can probably kite long enough to get a 2nd leap or intervene too

I did mythic sludgefist last night with reprisal, seeing some surprisingly good uptime of safeguard even on the cotank

intervene is bae

fading quiver

compared to the previous night, seeing an overall damage intake reduction of like 600 for me and 300 for him.

they might fix it tho

sweet summit
#

theres nothing to fix

sturdy trench
#

and fix the fury blastestorm 2

sweet summit
#

🤔

sturdy trench
#

well for fury

sweet summit
#

no?

sturdy trench
#

if u proc bladestorm

#

u get a stronger bladestorm

#

so

#

thats bugged

sweet summit
#

its not

chilly brook
#

Wat

sturdy trench
#

the procced arms bladestorm

#

is weaker than the fury one

sweet summit
#

no its fury bs

chilly brook
#

Pretty sure the bladestorm is the same for fury

sweet summit
#

wait what

chilly brook
sturdy trench
#

no its not fury bladestorm

#

it last twice as long

#

lol

sweet summit
#

fury gets fury bs

#

but

#

the duration is fixed

chilly brook
#

^

sweet summit
#

thats how signet works

chilly brook
#

Duration doesn't matter

#

Damage should be the same

sturdy trench
#

its not the same

#

lol

#

anws

#

bored aruging

chilly brook
#

You're gonna make me go into my logs now

sweet summit
#

damage is not the same

#

signet bladestorm gets more ticks with more haste

#

talented bs ticks faster with more haste

chilly brook
#

I see

scarlet merlin
#

they are 2 different spell ids, its weird how they designed it

#

the ring is essentially procing the other spell

sweet summit
#

same same but different

sturdy trench
#

so it will get fixed at one point

#

and maybe theyll fix ravager for prot

#

2

chilly brook
#

Fixed?

#

Theres nothing to indicate it's wrong lmao

#

Including ravager not procing for prot

#

There have been several bug reports

#

Since beta

#

Nothing

sweet summit
#

signet procs off bladestorm

#

ravager is not bladestorm

chilly brook
#

^

sweet summit
#

for arms, ravager directly replaces bladestorm

#

thats why it works for arms

#

its different for prot

#

dont get me wrong

#

id love for it to proc off prot ravager

#

but its obviously not intended to do so

shut summit
#

yea ravager procced it in beta, then was changed to not do so and has remained that way for long time

reprisal in what slot

Also for fellow kyrian prots, the seen the pelagos thing?

kinda annoying

sweet summit

amber herald
#

I've seen it and idk how to verify it

night depot
#

Idk just see people posting logs where on the same fights before and after using let go of the past

#

and before using it taking 3% less magic damage lol

amber herald
#

I've only seen it on twitter showing it's happening on one specific mob in mists

#

is it every spell then?

severe hound
#

are there certain secondary stats that are more important than others? I know ilvl is king for tanking but if you had the option I'd imagine vers is best?

sweet summit
#

haste is the best secondary stat for us

amber herald
#

ilvl>armor>haste>vers

#

more or less

severe hound
#

gotcha

night depot
#

apparently it's had the opposite effect and been adding 3% magic damage to what we take lol so thats 6% total difference from whats supposed to happen xD

strong forum
#

well ilvl = armor cuz you cant get it through other ways so

amber herald
#

I was thinking if you're comparing a neck/ring to an armoured piece

#

then the armour wins

#

or legs to chest

#

but yeah

surreal plinth
#

What's going on with Pelagos?

amber herald
#

his last tier trait is increasing magic dmg taken instead of decreasing it

#

according to some logs

surreal plinth
#

That's odd.
