But it's an irrelevant parse

sick sentinel
#

is kyrian still the go to as prot for m+? Or is it necrolord after the buffs?

strong forum
#

Doesn't count towards allstars

Night fae is very strong also but most dps are fae already

omg just tanked 15 SD itwas a f... nightmare, i was melting like butter 220IL plus Reprisal lego, and still i died like a fly, and still received ton of garbage from group plus to reroll to DK. uhhhhh hope you have more luck.

does targetfriendplayer work or do I need a neme

sick sentinel
amber herald
#

it's not great though I'd recommend using a mouseover macro as well

#

it's useful but sometimes it'll intervene someone who is farther away than someone else

true bison
#

What is the prot rotation?

amber herald
#

revenge-->revenge-->revenge

true bison
#

Well ok then

#

sd is fine for a prot warr

#

gotta be carefully with interrupts

#

and if ppl stack on u in the last corridor

#

and every1 gets the debuff its not ur fault

lavish oracle
#

@true bison It's more of a priority than a rotation, shield slam on CD, thunderclap to help generate threat in AoE when you don't have the rage to dump into revenge, keep SB up as much as possible when you're taking blockable damage, dump extra rage into revenge or IP as needed

lofty widget
#

sd should technically be easier this week since shades give stacks from the canisters too

lavish oracle
#

There's some nuance to it but that's the very basics

sick sentinel
#

@strong forum hope it's okay to ask, but after the prot buffs, they aren't that much behind other tanks anymore are they?

livid portal
#

reprisal legs or boots?

lavish oracle
#

I'm sure the guides are more detailed, as always, pins

chilly brook
#

All the tanks are fairly similar tankyness wise with DH and Guardian kinda being outliers in their own ways. We're still competing for last/second to last place in terms of damage dealt but not as big of a gap there anymore

lavish oracle
#

I feel like our AoE sustained is pretty good after the buffs

sick sentinel
lavish oracle
#

Like, at least comparable to DH

strong forum
sick sentinel
#

And sometimes i find threat hard as druid :/

lavish oracle
#

Who do you put top 3?

amber herald
#

guardian druid health is spikier than warrior but they're about the same in terms of tankiness

chilly brook
ionic fern
#

VDH/Guardian/Prot.

lavish oracle
#

I've heard the argument for brew, but I'm not convinced

#

And I haven't played mine this xpac, really

Your average brew is gonna get spanked

Oh, did he, that's kinda sad

Andy switched to dps last patch cuz WW was so much better for keys than brew

And now he's kinda lost I reckon

lavish oracle
#

Is it just me or is this season's leaderboard way more purple than S4 BFA was brown?

strong forum
#

Just you

#

Bfa s2 was 60% pwar for example

#

Bfa s4 in the top 40 only 4 non prots

lavish oracle
#

Oh, yeah, I guess it's about even

#

19 non prot top 100 S4, 18 non DH this season

And tomo is on both top 10 with guardian

#

Just goes to show that the player matters alot more than the class even on top levels

lavish oracle

I always kinda wonder if he'd do better or worse if he meta swapped

Prolly worse

#

Cuz playing what you enjoy automatically makes you play better

I think tomo is top 1 DK as well

quick question - does embalmer's oil remove a grievous stack?

or is it considered a periodic heal?

It does not as it is not a direct heal.

Hey guys, new to prot. I would like to ask, would you recommend crafting Reprisal on legs or feet?

sick sentinel

Legs.

Many thanks!

I did feet only because I had 226 pants and 213 boots weird

@strong forum u know if u can always dodge headbbutt on first boss sanguine

rich thistle
#

If i'm unsure of picking NF or Kyrian, what should I pick? I just can't decide, I think NF looks more fun to play but all the fact that no one plays Kyrian makes me unsure.

sweet summit
#

NF is more damage
kyrian has phial

#

the only real downside to playing night fae over kyrian is that youre a furry and the covenant set looks god awful :/

#

jokes aside, you really cant go wrong with either

#

you can try one at first, and swap to the other one at a later date

shrewd drift

Sooo we actually have been talking more magic dmg for a while now. Good to know lol ( us kyrian bois)

Not reset, but the conduits change with your spec.

it was increasing magic dmg taken by 3%

not reducing it

is prot warr more resilient than prot pal in 9.0.5?

sweet summit
#

resilient?

#

Tanky

sweet summit
#

yeah we are

scenic bone
#

Sick of getting blown up on mine

true bison
#

I would say prot warrior is like 3rd in tankiness, thoughts?

sweet summit
#

somewhere around that yeah

true bison
#

Think bear is still thicc boi followed by VDH then warrior

scenic bone
#

Yea bear is what I swapped to from prot pal so I could finish my KSM

mystic ridge
#

Against any damage that's blockable it's #1 and it's not particularly close, so if we could just pretend that magic and bleeds don't exist....

scenic bone
#

thicc af

#

but... plate tmog...

true bison
#

Yea no I made a bear like 2 weeks ago and it’s been good but those warrior buffs for all specs lately just had me coming back to the old main

scenic bone
#

Speaking of, does the heavy defensive benefits of Draven make up for the meh ability prot gets from going venthyr?

sweet summit
#

i dont like draven

#

nadjia ♥️

feral remnant
#

Hi guys i decided to play prot (my main its a brew). I readed the guides and i noticed that the st dump rage ability its Devastate,yet i cant find it in the spellbook. I even made a macro for it but i still unable to use it. Its this a bug? Appreciate the help

sweet summit
#

jokes aside, i do actually recommend nadjia over draven as venthyr

#

you picked devastator as a talent

#

it replaces devastate

#

and its just passive

feral remnant
#

Ohhh

#

Tyvm

#

So with the devastator talent, revenge its the st dump?

heavy sail
#

Paladin is pretty squish. They make up for it by doing huge dam though.

scenic bone
#

Interesting, I assume since NF/Kyrian are damage and rage generation, I'd just have to cope with not having similar rage gen on a CD ye?

sweet summit
#

revenge is your main offensive rage dump no matter what talents you play

#

outside of execute phase ofc

heavy sail
#

Heh... dump

feral remnant
#

Ok ty @sweet summit

sweet summit

Sick

sweet summit
#

like i rarely felt rage starved unless i ook ooked myself

scenic bone
#

glad to hear that 😅

#

this xpac sucks, beyond annoyed that the one covenant I vibe with (venthyr) is so dysfunctional on pala for mixed pve/pvp enjoyment

true bison
#

So venthyr is viable for prot? Because I wanted to play both prot and fury

sweet summit
#

its not the best, but yeah

heavy sail
#

Is ele shaman better because of the EQ buff, or just nerfs to other specs

sweet summit
#

youll be more than fine as venthyr

heavy sail
#

I’m out of the know

scenic bone
#

ele is dope

heavy sail
#

But they went from parsing like 7th to 3rd/4th in 9.0.5

sweet summit
#

both i think?

#

hunters and monks getting nuked

#

and them getting a decent buff

heavy sail
#

Actually yeah it’s more about hunters and monks

#

That accounts for most of the increase

#

And unholy has sorta fallen off

#

Not entirely but it’s not super dominant anymore

#

Either way shaman stonks are up

#

Invest

sweet summit
#

📈

scenic bone
#

I assume the 9.0.5 buffs at least alleviated prot's threat gen ye?

sweet summit

there were not really any threat problems to begin with

but the damage buff helps

mast buff is THAT good for everyone? i mean, my main is warlock, and mastery is heaven, but i got guildies that play fire mage and mastery is not that good

@hollow bolt you think warrior is do do?

sweet summit
#

yeah its great if you can coordinate shit

#

i dont like it, too much of a hassle for my monkey brain

heavy sail

+400 secondary for anyone regardless of the exact effect will be good.

But yeah it’s not exactly equal for all classes and specs

proud acorn
heavy sail
#

Mastery for fire mage is just afterburn right

proud acorn
#

Yes but if you sim for that it becomes bis stat

heavy sail
#

Definitely big value for higher keys in particular.

#

It’s very good for MM wild spirits window

#

Which is still one of the best burst CDs in the game

#

Might still be the best idk

proud acorn
#

Best is balance with ordenance

#

By far

#

Problem is mage needs banner at second 0 a d ordenance at second 20

#

So is better to not go ordenance and take banner early

good evening everyone

you guys thing it#w worth upgrading a 210 crit mastery weapon with avoidance to 220 ? currently running a vers mastery 220 ...

lucid dew
#

I wouldn’t think so

vagrant cape
#

I don't think so, unless all of your other gear is also 220+ and you're capping on valour

#

@outer solstice

lucid dew
#

Maybe a pox storm would be worth it

outer solstice
#

It is all 220+

#

but not even close capping valor

#

I mean if that weapon had haste... But no

thin brook
#

should i use versa or haste trinket for prot for duegeon also on amulet strenght stamina crit or stamina crit haste ?

#

it is 3 type of amulet for prot warrior for leveling

#

with one is best ?

#

anyone ?

sweet summit

i dont think anyone has min maxed that

#

its leveling, doesnt really matter

thin brook
#

ok

limpid pawn
#

So is necro not as great as we'd hoped?

amber herald
#

the point of the patch was to make it equal to the other covenants, which it did

it got buffed from being terrible to pretty good

there was a lot of hype but it's still decent just depends if you want to play with it or not

Getting first tank leggo to start pushing 10 and up keys, am I an idiot for still wanting to use The Wall?

cerulean pebble

The wall is fine for mythic +.

toxic prairie
#

I like the thought of reprisal but pugging keys, I kind of want the safety blanket of having wall and bolster

sturdy sable
#

Well

#

Having block for most of the dungeon would probably be more of a safety blanket then wall

#

how do you guys feel comparing wall and reprisal in the m+ 15-20 range? not running bolster bu AM propably further increases our dmg, which was the main reason why I switched over to my brm for tanking higher keys

Hi guys. New Prot warrior here. Need help with a macro! How do I make it to where on my Heroic Throw macro my Bag of Tricks pops first if its up and then if its not up it just heroic throws instead. Thanks !

#

Don't believe this was working. Had same macro in a leveling dungeon earlier and I couldn't heroic throw

#

but the bag of tricks was working

hot oxide
#

bag of tricks is the vulpera racial right?

#

do you have it set for heal or dmg?

#

also, isn't it /cast

#

instead of use?

#

need some answers

Regarding Reprisal change, does it also work with the Best Served Cold talent as well???

Thank you.

crude whale
#

got a question for the hive mind lol

#

on mythic sunking, does shattering throw work on the shield on the shade?

#

i would use it and the shield would drop but i cant tell if its because of my shattering or if it was just a coincendence

sturdy sable
#

Yes

#

It works and is worth casting

crude whale
#

so it would drop it on its own then/

sturdy sable
#

It just does 500% damage to the shield it still needs to be DPSed down

crude whale
#

ahhh gotcha

sturdy sable
#

It's just a big ol nuke

#

ya i see on the parce that it hit for 14k lol

ty for the info

Just a medium ole nuke

can anyone explain opener to the poor brained dh player?
seems like im struggling to have aoe threat on pull

Blame the dps for not letting you even hit a tclap before they use everything

i dont want to blame

#

i want to pump

#

i mean on my dh i just jump in, use immolation aura and im fine
so what should i do on my warrior

#

the ravager is literraly doing 0 threat idk
the only real thing is spear of bastion but its on cd half of the pulls

if you got reprisal, charge in hit revenge and you should be good

If you don't charge and hit 2 revenges and you should be good

no reprisal 😦 freshie alt

heroic jump in, DEMO, TC then w/e you need to survive

spring umbra
#

does demo generate any threat?

#

just curious

sturdy sable
#

It's a debuff so yes but like not alot

royal yoke
#

Does Necrolord banner buff the 2 nearest allies dynamically? If I move, does it move the buff to my 2 nearest allies if my proximity to people changes?

#

Or is it permanently on the 2 closest people at the time it’s cast

trim bay
#

hey guys. i have read the pins just curious with Reprisal do we spec AM or still use bolster?

sturdy sable
#

you can run AM with reprisal

#

But if you absolutely feel like you need MORE uptime bolster can be picked

#

Also run best served cold with reprisal for maximum damage

tawny citrus
#

So Shout becomes purely a defensive ?

#

Also: Do you rune Double Time over Storm Bolt in M+ ?

wanton condor
#

Yes, and it depends?

#

Do you think an extra stun is useful for that dungeon?

#

SoA I think so

#

HoA it can be

#

ToP definitely

#

DOS meh

tawny citrus
#

Alright, so situational, as I thought. Lots of guides are black/white, I love the kind of advice you just gave me. Thx Sigma

wanton condor
#

I really like it in top for the devour flesh and soa for the guys who jump out and cast at you

#

SD and HoA are nice for making sure no loyal beasts get off

tawny citrus
#

Yeah those guys are awful

#

I mean, if it's only for Loyal Beast, Shockwave should do the trick considering how low the cast frequency is. Intimidating Shout can act as a pseudo-interrupt too.

wanton condor
#

My general use is the pre first shard and pre boss pull

#

Where they might be on cd

#

And the third shard having another stun is useful as you don't want to shout there

#

@sturdy sable cheers for that. do you run want 45 lvl talent do you run? is ravager tstill the go to?

Yup

Fleshcraft is coded weird compared to other channels

last mason
#

do i have unrealistic expectations

#

i feel like pug dps in 19-20+ should all be 6.5k+

#

in nearly any dungeon

#

but most of the time theyre bbarely hitting 6k

#

if im lucky

#

most of the time its like 5.5k-6k

compact palm
#

This week is skewed because spiteful extends combat

#

But otherwise I feel like those expectations are reasonable

iron forum
#

it depends so much on dungeon though

#

i do 9-10k in halls, but i do 6k in plaguefall

#

also as NF im doing higher overall than i ever have because of first strike and constant aoe

orchid frigate

got into a discussion with a friend of mine that says that there's most magical damage in m+ where as i thought its mostly physical. could there be some sources to back me up on that?

split wyvern
#

Well in terms I would say physical, auto attacks are physical. You probably get hit more with auto attacks than special abilities or spells. Run a dungeon and look at the what happened to me long in the chat box in game.

elfin nova
#

I mean you can just look at damage taken in details

lime urchin
#

Check the pins for the spell reflect spreadsheet. On that you see a details screenshot of type of damage intake per dungeon

#

There is much more physical damage than magical damage, but I think the magical damage is more dangerous part of the dungeons

chilly brook
#

And I'm well aware that it keeps you in combat

#

Still did 7.3k in SD tonight

compact palm
#

Didn't know they got nerfed

chilly brook
#

Your melee range is longer than theirs now

Idk If I wanna assume the average pug is gunna abuse that tho

wild sandal
#

how much SB uptime should i get without playing double time, with reprisal ofc

amber siren
#

26 assuming back-to-back charge use with charge and intervening

#

seconds that is

#

with no gaps

wild sandal
#

thank you, i meant like the end of dungon uptime, yesterday i had 65% but i see most people saying should be around 80% but with double time , so was woundring

amber siren
#

Oh, right you mean total % uptime

#

SB is a poor metric for total % uptime since it requires effective use rather than just keeping it up for as long as possible like a DOT or a bleed

#

80% might look better on paper than 60% but the player with 60% only used their block when it was required rather than the player with 80% who was using it when he was kiting, taking magic damage, taking unblockable damage etc

vocal granite
#

Maybe try to watch on warcraft logs a run from Nerftank on his war and check his SB uptime

wild sandal
#

ok rybie, thank you, i should paymore attention to when press it

jagged pier
#

for instance with about 75-80% 'uptime' on sludgefist u can get 100% blockedhits

amber siren
#

Yep, that's what I said.

sand condor
#

Well i can die on sludgefist to my co tank missing his soaks

#

Even with a90+ % blocked

unique tree
#

I am running Disturb the Peace aswell as Rumbling Earth on my prot atm, so I have a shitton of shockwaves. But I've seen that most people run double charge/stormbolt and another conduit. is it because of stun dr? I feel like having a 20sec aoe stun feels more comfortable

ionic fern
#

Yes, one reason is the stun DR.
The other one is just having 2 separate stuns.
in general you have someone with a AoE stun in a m+ group already so you can alternate between you two. Having Storm Bolt just provides you with an extra interrupt without DR'ing all the other enemies.

proper moss
#

Hey guys. I recently rolled Necrolord and was wondering if any of you have a nice rotation for the banner? I have a little hard time finding out when to pop it. Is it coordinated with my grp before we go, so they know which packs to use cd's while I have popped banner. Hope the question make sense 🙂

compact palm
#

Voice helps a lot with it

#

U wanna pop it with your dps's cds

#

U can coord that before

#

Theres no real rotation for it as you are taking banner for them not for you

odd verge
proper moss
#

Yeah, guess i'll call it more often to hold cd's so they have some on banner 🙂

#

thanks for the input guys!

orchid frigate
#

wonder what will happen to DHs meta status if they get their magical dmg thingy fixed

amber siren
#

Still very strong damage, AoE silence, kiting and defensives

#

So probably not a whole lot

topaz crescent
#

DH still brings 5% more dmg to most of the meta dps specs, so doubt it will change anything

orchid frigate

been taking some havocs to my pugs in order to adjust that. fun thing is that in my weird pugs it hasnt been rare that the havoc has outdpsd the meta dps specs 😄

My prot warrior is a fresh alt... What do you guys usually do on ur alt to get like 200 ilvl fast?

#

I don't know how to play Arms so I don't know if I can play PVP

#

Would be tough

round scarab
#

Daily wins from epic battlegrounds is how I got my 200 shield. Only 400 conquest needed and epic bgs are so coin flip your low ilvl won't be a detriment

heavy sail
#

Get legendary ASAP, finish covenant campaign, LFR CN 10/10, conquest shield, buy BoEs if you have the money.

#

Should be able to get 200 ilvl within 2-3 days

blazing condor
#

yeah you can buy 180 ilvl or something pretty cheap from AH to begin with

tired hawk
#

About ilvl >>> secondaries, I've a neck 47crit 147 mast (213ilvl) and the pvp one 40 haste 134 vers (200ilvl)

#

does this apply to neck/rings, or not rly?

tepid nest
#

it applies less so to rings/necks, as they dont have main stat. That's a general rule anyway, I don't know specifically about prot warr

lofty widget
#

i reckon since our stats are so even compared to each other, more stat>"good" stat, so i would probably roll with the 213 neck

#

especially when its 13 ilvl difference

heavy sail
#

Correct.

#

Stat budget is almost always better than a set priority.

#

But, when in doubt, sim away

blazing condor
#

it sucks how bis pvp gear is

#

and how scarce haste/vers gear is in pve

heavy sail
#

PvP is kinda poorly optimized for most specs in PvE.

But it’s still really good

And really easy to get

When I played prot pala in bfa, I had a wa that printed my shield of righteousness usage, is there a similar one for prot?

#

Hey mates 👋 we will do myth lady today any strat tipps etc?

haughty sleet
#

You’ll need to use your earballs for the ghosts

woeful trellis
#

Earballs? 😆

fiery wing
#

so with reprisal should we feet or legs?

surreal sinew
#

legs generally feet if you can get slg mythic

woeful trellis
#

Legs if u not 9/10 myth

fiery wing
#

hmm

#

choices xD

#

ok thx

surreal sinew
#

for inerva all i can say is don't mess up the ghost facing mechanic and you can reflect the big add's debuff

#

i think he meant eyeballs actually

#

earballs sounds like some vulpera shit

woeful trellis
#

😂

#

Okay 🙏

surreal sinew
#

tbh the encounter is mostly on dps and healers

#

you just need to move the boss well enough and not die

sweet summit
#

its all on dps to not fuck up the orbs tbh

#

and soaks

#

Just a general rule of thumb when you're pulling large packs of mobs, to keep threat up is it basically mandatory to use revenge when you get the rage to keep it aggro'd or can you normally do it with just Thunderclap?

surreal sinew
#

tc isn't strong enough when some classes start hitting i find

sweet summit
#

you need to use revenge

surreal sinew
#

reprisal fixes that easily

analog tide
#

Thanks 🙂

#

Mid pull I feel like my rage generation is garbage and it kinda becomes a choice between shieldblock/ignore pain and revenge

rare kraken
#

ravager too

analog tide
#

I think I'm just doing something wrong with my rotation

rare kraken
#

what are your talents?

analog tide
#

Lemme check

sweet summit
#

do you have logs?

analog tide
#

Well a preface

#

I'm leveling rn but I'm level 45 so if gear/late game stuff fixes rage

#

then I'm just stupid :^)

#

My talents are

sweet summit
#

oh lmao yeah no worries then

analog tide
#

Ah ok then

surreal sinew
#

haste fixes rage

#

but you'll get there

analog tide
#

I'm new to tanking/warrior so I just though I was missing a key part of the rotation to get some rage

#

I love learning this stuff though 🙂

sweet summit
#

leveling is always fucked tbh

#

should get a lot better as you reach 60 and get some gear

analog tide
#

Leveling as Prot Warrior is pretty easy

#

just spam dungeons

#

get insta que pop

#

lol

#

but the rage generation is so bad weird

surreal sinew
#

you hsould have ravager so pick that if you haven't, it'll help

remote tusk
#

Worst part is not having full kit 😦

sweet summit
#

^

analog tide
#

I used to only play hunter

#

never raided before, etc.

#

so using more than 3 buttons is very fun for me lol

#

Rn my talents are: Punish, Double TIme, Booming Voice, Crackling Thunder, Indomitable

#

and then I'll spec into Ravenger

#

and Anger Management

sweet summit
#

when you finish leveling, or now to get used to it, i recommend devastator over punish

#

it gives more average shield slam resets, which means more rage and more damage

remote tusk
#

Also pressing Devastate 😒

analog tide
#

My left hand is getting carpal tunnel from pressing Devestate

#

over and over

mystic ridge
#

Definitely has the added benefit of avoiding an RSI from devastate

remote tusk
#

It does live up to its name.

#

Devastating for your fingers.

analog tide
#

What's RSI 👀

#

I guess Hunter is the same tho

#

spamming cobra shot into the void

uneven mason
#

RSI - repetitive stress injury I'm thinking

analog tide
#

we all get carpal tunnel in the end sadge

#

Late game

remote tusk
#

At least it feels less bad when it's gotten through pressing Condemn. Condemn

analog tide
#

I should always have enough rage to have Ignore Pain/Shield BLock perma up correct?

remote tusk
#

Shield Block.

uneven mason
#

I wouldn't worry about banking rage

#

except for times when you know there is a big damage spike coming

torn garden
#

Imagine always having enough rage

uneven mason
#

imagine not thinking about it

#

I mean, I'll miss reprisal bigtime whenver it becomes not the go to or next Xpac

#

because of the rage budget it allows for.

#

but it really promotes bad habits

#

if you're not using that much rage hah

#

Hi all! I'm kind of new to tanking in SL, 9.05 specifically. I'm currently leveling a prot warrior. Is Kyrian still the go-to for tanks for M+? I just find it kind of boring, and want any excuse to go back to Venthyr. I can't find a lot of resources for prot warriors for this patch.

uneven mason
#

not much changed this patch besides NL not being a dumpster fire anymore

surreal sinew
#

if you want to go vent you'll manage

uneven mason
#

and reprisal giving us a "good" lego rather than "best of 'Meh'

surreal sinew
#

there's no wrong choice for prot rn

gaunt crane
#

I really like night fae because of the aoe interrupt/stun

#

and rage

#

and extra mobility

uneven mason
#

yeah I've been NF for most of the Xpac

#

its pumpers

#

If you really wanna be Venthyr tho

#

be Venthyr

#

Condemn is strong ST

#

and their soulbinds are good

surreal sinew
#

yeah i was venthyr for most of the xpac and it was fine

uneven mason
#

you'll miss some AE BURST in M+ but have condemn for pumping on Tyrannical

sweet summit
#

venthyr has the best mog

uneven mason
#

NL

#

Erga is wrong often when speaking about mogs

sweet summit
#

i am not wrong

turbid sandal
#

Hmm. I like Kyrian because of my steward. My druid is already NF, so I was avoiding that just to have some variety.

sweet summit
#

you are

uneven mason
#

Nuh uh

#

those stupid batwing things on the head?

#

Looks like the CWs Batwoman

turbid sandal
#

I also think Venthyr has the best mog. >_< Necrolord second, Kyrian third (except for cupholder shoulders). NF has the worst mog. Sorry NF 😦

uneven mason
#

Shoulders are also horrible for clipping

#

like oldschool hunter "TWIN TOWERS" shoulders

#

and fringes on boots/gloves? Seriously, country music awards Azeroth version.

turbid sandal
#

Condemn seems so fun for dps. My dps spec is Arms

jagged pier
#

imagine using covenant Tmog when mythic CN exsists

uneven mason
#

Imagine using Mythic CN transmog when LFR exists

sweet summit
#

imagine getting to keep the loot you get in raids :/

uneven mason
#

bigoof

signal plover
#

Imagine getting M CN shoulder loot

uneven mason
jagged pier
#

im like only plate wearer in my raid 🤷

uneven mason
#

As long as I can get past the roster boss again

signal plover
#

I have like 7 hungering kills before the loot changes

#

We haven't recleared since

uneven mason
#

big oof

#

chain skips?

#

or just keeping lockout to bang on Council/SLG?

#

since that seems to be a legit thing

signal plover
#

We've been extending since council trying to sneak a reclear in between a boss kill and prog but we killed both council and sludge on a Tuesday so can't reclear on the second night

#

And now that we're on SLG we kinda just wanna slam that

#

Not to mention reclears are riskier this tier (morale wise since you'd keep the lockout) cuz boss have much tighter error margins.

#

Like artificer just gives our raiders flipperhands

turbid gazelle
#

I hate artificer

#

I was the lone udk in our group

frail wyvern
#

We just got to sludge last night, not reclearing before we get CE i think

signal plover
#

After sludge is a good time for it if the kill lands on the right night

#

I think after the quagmire of SLG we kinda wanna ride the kill momentum into CE

frail wyvern
#

Its the 2 night per week raiding dilemma

signal plover
#

Yeh

uneven mason
#

Yeah I mean, not in mythic but I extended my guilds HC Sire lockout for 3weeks

#

because fights that take 6 minutes to reach the actual challenging part of the fight are great to progress on

signal plover
#

Luckily heroic hasn't ever been an issue for this team but yeah, same concept

uneven mason
#

If I had 20 people who played at the level of my 8 core members

frail wyvern
#

I dont think we extended for HC sire, but we did chop the raid team down to get the first kill

signal plover
#

Such is the climb

uneven mason
signal plover
#

Yeah we cut trials/low dps as well for the first one, and it was on an off night

uneven mason
#

If its a DPS check I'll make the call

signal plover
#

Not much of a choice when it unlocks higher Ilvl loot from vault

frail wyvern
#

We were missing the 3rd set of adds skip so cutting out some low dps, especially ones who were consistently below or only hovering above tanks, was the easiest way for us

uneven mason
#

We reformed this guild after our previous GM was basically cutting people without actually discussing what they needed to improve on or when it wasn't even a DPS issue, but a mechanics one due to poor explination/plannning

#

Even when people are hitting me with tells that its a DPS check issue and we needed to start trimming people for boss HP.
Sometimes people do crap damage because they're not doing mechanics, and thats what it turned out to be, since we got sire down without cutting anyone.

#

but yeah, wish some folks would put some headlight fluid into their shoulders and HNGGGG a bit harder at the meters

frail wyvern
#

Ours were just some bad players who couldn't parse above 15 on any boss 😂

#

We reformed for SL after quitting in 8.3, so quite a few newbies to the team that needed filtering

uneven mason
#

but Atm I'm just trying to get above 20 people

#

"beggars can't be choosers" and all that

frail wyvern
#

I'm in charge of recruitment, as soon as I get to a point that the roster is full, within 2 days somebody else leaves

uneven mason
#

TFW a toxic GM who couldn't be bothered to parse above grey (which is bad for a prot warrior) herself cause you to lose over a dozen raiders in 2 weeks

frail wyvern
#

Yeah that doesn't help at all

#

All our leavers quit the game rather than moving to other guilds, but recruitment in general can be tough

uneven mason
#

yeah, well games population is stabilizing so some consolidation might start happening

surreal sinew
#

should start seeing people who want to keep playing and who won't quit in two weeks mainly/hopefully

uneven mason
#

basically

frail wyvern
#

Yeah its that time in a tier, happens every time

surreal sinew
#

do you keep the renown if you switch back to a cov you abandoned ?

#

or is it back from scratch

haughty sleet
#

keep

wanton condor
#

I'm not sure if the sub bleed period is over, if anything it might be getting worse now that the flash of 9.0.5 has worn off

surreal sinew
#

sweet, i'm not sure i made the right choice going nl 😦

haughty sleet
#

necro feels bad to me, and the coordination you need to pull off the buff isnt the easiest

wanton condor
#

on that front, can you have multiple "take me back, I can change" to covenants going at once?

haughty sleet
#

no you cant

#

unfortunately

wanton condor
#

damn

#

that's annoying

surreal sinew
#

but in theory, you could "level" all covs to 40 ?

wanton condor
#

yes

frail wyvern
#

9.1 does look far away right now, but most of our active guys are working on alts and things at the moment @surreal sinew

surreal sinew
#

might do that

haughty sleet
#

i have venth fae and kyrian at 35+

wanton condor
#

I'm in the middle of the Venthyr take me back and swapped from kyrian to NF to try it out

#

wanted to have both on deck jic

frail wyvern
#

I'm probably (hopefully) playing Brew next tier so haven't really thought about grinding all covenants on my warrior

surreal sinew
#

makes sense, all there is to do really, it's why i'm thinking i might give nf a shot, althoug i can't be arsed to redo that campaign again

#

i come from brew, don't go there

#

roll is too easy

uneven mason
#

TFW you "hopefully" want to swap to smoothbrain weak tank

frail wyvern
#

Lol I love my brew 😂

surreal sinew
#

i prefer having to shout at my ele to place properly so i can intervene out ><

frail wyvern
#

I went warr tank because they were trash as dps and monk was good as dps

uneven mason
#

Monks not so hot anymore

#

"Bug fixes"

#

they took a can of raid to that spec

#

my WW is crying

frail wyvern
#

Yeah indeed, although my brew isn't geared enough to jump in at sludgefist and we have no dps warr for buffs

surreal sinew
#

mine rerolled

astral crystal
#

ww ain't even that bad

uneven mason
#

TFW you're relying on a MW for the physical debuff

astral crystal
#

they'll be fine

uneven mason
#

compared to "pre fixes" WW Is probably closer to fury

#

which is not a good spot to be

#

yeah I think mine is working on a hunter

#

wish he'd go DH

#

at least he'd supply something useful

surreal sinew
#

think hunter's pretty dog too rn

uneven mason

Like my paladin co tank "I'm leveling a guardian!!"
*Looks at 4 druids on the roster
Well you know Vengeance is really good for m+
"I'm LEVELING A GUARDIAN!!!" 🐻 🤤

wanton condor

I was working on my sin rogue as part of my off-meta project but nooooooo, they had to buff them and make them good

surreal sinew
#

my vdh is going guardian

uneven mason
#

I just want the 5% Spelldmg buff for the raid

#

0 demonhunters

#

and yeah, Guardian is the BrM of SL

wanton condor
#

I have a vdh for low ilvl alt runs, god it's boring

frail wyvern
#

Dh dps isn't as bad as it was, if you need a body in your raid

surreal sinew
#

i want to murder the lad

frail wyvern
#

Still not great but we run 2 or them without issue

uneven mason
#

Legit can't find a single Havoc DH

#

seen like 2 all Xpac

#

I'd take one

#

but they're rare than feral druids

wanton condor
#

they all quit once they realized the only things keeping their brains from melting out their years was infinite stars

frail wyvern
#

You can take our one who always has to be asked to release after a wipe, if you want? 😂

uneven mason
#

Funny we have a WA that stops you from realeasing after a wipe because we almost always have a soulstone

frail wyvern
#

I mean accept the res, he is always texting on his phone during raid

uneven mason
#

ugh

#

Nope

surreal sinew
#

i'd trad you our mage who's always high

uneven mason
#

if you wanna sext you can do it on your game

uneven mason
#

I have a couple who is always baked but does fine

surreal sinew
#

performs fine and after 11 he turns into a wipe magnet

frail wyvern
#

High dps? 😂

surreal sinew
#

up until like 11 yeah

#

he's still here ccause he's decent up to a poitn

#

we just need to have killed the boss and be progging smth else by then ^^

bright hornet
#

is there a spreadsheet for prot warriors? i have items of equal ilvl that im curious how they'd impact me

surreal sinew
#

all sheets are in the pins

#

but not for gear i don't think

bright hornet
#

ye i saw one for banner not gear

surreal sinew
#

if it's equal ilvl it's going to depend on if oyu want dps or more survivability

#

with haste always a priority

#

(for dps you can use raidbots/a sim tool)

bright hornet
#

so haste always, mastery for surviavability, and sim for dps if thats what i want?

#

well mastery/vers i guess

surreal sinew
#

vers is better i think

strong forum
#

Vers for surv

#

Haste always

#

Crit for dmg

#

Mastery is mastery

bright hornet

kk. ty

indigo zinc
#

what conduits are going to be best for prot warrior?

#

for the types

surreal sinew
#

stalwart guardian and unnerving focus as endurance

#

show of force or cov for potency

#

and finesse depends a bit more

#

but i'd say inspiring presence or disturb the peace

light thicket
surreal sinew
#

yeah it's a no brainer if you raid

#

can be nice in keys too

light thicket
#

I rather take another potency myself

#

On both scenarios

wanton condor
#

inspiring presence is great all around

light thicket
#

Biut im kind of an asshole

surreal sinew
#

oh yea one finesse

#

for sure

wanton condor
#

what potency

#

they're all bad other than covenant

surreal sinew
#

unnerving focus

#

will be a better dps upgrade

light thicket
#

Show of force and spear one

wanton condor
#

show of force is incredibly mediocre

surreal sinew
#

i think the rage from focus is better

#

yeah

wanton condor
#

unnerving focus is ace

#

pop that during an execute phase

surreal sinew
#

gives a nice burst

wanton condor
#

turns a defensive into an offensive

#

I feel like of our non-covenant conduits, 2 good defensives, 1 good finesse, 0 good potency

#

so you slap on the covenant conduit and call it a day

surreal sinew
#

nl banner conduit is ok

indigo zinc
#

thanks for all the help, havent played warrior since BC haha

light thicket
#

Yeah conduits are kinda underwhelming

jagged bramble
#

do we play AM now with reprisal?

toxic prairie
#

Yea it’s kind of a bummer, I re rolled prot warrior from prot palsy and I was like “meh” conduit wise

blazing condor
small marsh
#

AM+BSC

blazing condor
#

You can also run BSC instead of booming voice

small marsh
#

I like bounding stride as well

#

If you do charge, sb, intervene, sb*3 it's 32 seconds of shield block, and you can bounding away after to stall for about ten seconds then do it all again

surreal sinew
#

sb is capped at 3* it's duration

small marsh
#

And you functionally have 100% block uptime any time stuff is in melee with you

#

Yeah you space the abilities out some

surreal sinew
#

a bit more with bolster

small marsh
#

That's just the order you hit them in

surreal sinew
#

but i don't think you need it

#

it's just comfort at that point

small marsh
#

At this point with Reprisal I think AM is legitimately stronger defensively than bolster

#

More shield block doesn't add a ton of defensive power to our kit because we already have so much

#

More shield wall does

surreal sinew
#

☝️

small marsh
#

But yeah that spell blob I rattled out is actually like... Charge, SB, wait five or six seconds, intervene, shield block, wait like ten seconds, shield block, wait a few more seconds, last shield block, bounding leap away to let your shit reset, repeat

#

Definitely don't just mash it all

#

And weave the normal shit in

#

It's just an easy method to reliably spit out thirty seconds of block time on demand and can be repeated. I think maybe you come up short on cycle #2 when you're at like the fourth shield block? But also leap will be back up by then easily cause if you kite for 5-10 seconds you only need 20-25 seconds of SB before leap comes back up

wanton condor
#

idk, 2min bolster with covering gaps helps if a pull drags at all

small marsh
#

You can do SB cycle - leap - SB cycle forever

undone verge
#

personally I love BM over BSC that extra rage gen is very nice

wanton condor
#

16s of 30% health on a 2min vs extra Shield Wall defensively I think leans in the former's favor

#

I vastly prefer BSC because it means I can hold BM

surreal sinew
#

the damage of bsc is nice too though

#

especially with reverb

#

that too

undone verge
#

I think AM is better since with the uptime of shield block with reprisal, last stand just serves as a 30 second healing and health increase

signal plover
#

And a rage gain w/ unnerving

#

It's basically a DPS CD

#

Err...a hybrid CD I guess

small marsh
#

It's like a 20k heal vs 8s of half damage

#

Idk

#

AM also gets avatar

signal plover
#

I'd never run bolster with reprisal

small marsh
#

And boy howdy having avatar basically every pull is great

signal plover
#

Maybe in super high keys you still need bolster if u wanna face tabk

small marsh
#

Actually to check, Sigma did you mean bolster with Reprisal or no

#

Cause that was my read of what you said, and what I disagree with

wanton condor
#

I was saying I like bolster with reprisal

signal plover
#

These are mine for reprisal in m+

wanton condor
#

but I also often run with a disc priest I don't hugely trust >.>

#

honestly it's almost a safety blanket for me more than anything else

surreal sinew
#

idk

#

menace is nice

signal plover
#

No

surreal sinew
#

free inting

blazing condor
#

🤔

wanton condor
#

menace doesn't feel particularly needed now that they nerfed spiteful

signal plover
#

Menace was never needed

sweet summit
#

bolster is alright

#

but i would still stick to am

wanton condor
#

the real power move is bolster + seismic

undone verge
#

these are the talents I think are best
1-Devastator but war machine is also maybe viable
2-Double time, but storm bolt or rubling earth are also viable
3-BV but BSC is also viable
4-Crackling thunder, but bounding stride also works
5-indomitable
6-ravager
7-AM or Bolster

wanton condor
#

you can pry devastator out of my cold dead hands

sweet summit
#

war machine is only "viable" in torghast
storm bolt>dt>re
bsc>BV with reprisal
rest is fair

wanton condor
#

storm bolt is very dungeon specific imo

#

and group dependent

undone verge
#

idk in M+ storm bolt doesnt really hold up

signal plover
#

Why would you not run AM with seismic tho

sweet summit
#

you have like 0 block uptime then

signal plover
small marsh
#

Devastator needs to be made standard and not a talent

#

Holy fuck I'll never switch off devastator

#

Ever

signal plover
#

Just slappa memes

odd verge
#

Rumbling Earth + Disturb the peace = letthebodieshitthefloorletthebodieshitthefloorletthebodieshitthe..FLOOOOOR

sweet summit
#

negative, sir

small marsh
#

I'd run seismic for spamming low keys for farming valor

signal plover
#

Yeh

undone verge
#

Storm bolt is a singe target stun, which is nice, but its not as good as the 2 charges of charge for SB uptime

sweet summit
#

yeah thats fair paw

wanton condor
#

I've run it at 14-15s

#

on accident

small marsh
#

You don't need a second charge of charge

wanton condor
#

was trying to figure out why I was doing so much damage but had zero SB uptime

signal plover
#

Storm bolt can literally single handedly save you from a missed kick/stun

wanton condor
#

if the mob is stunnable

signal plover
#

Sigh

wanton condor
#

great in SoA

small marsh
#

Reprisal alone can easily jump you up over 60% block uptime and past that you can cover with leap

uneven mason
#

60% block uptime?

small marsh
#

Over

jagged pier
#

try 80%+ blocked hits

signal plover
#

Reprisal is easily 80% effective uptime

inland raft
#

60 overall prob actual effective should be 80+

uneven mason
#

without even trying to balance it

#

effective is around 100%

jagged pier
#

lets ither call it blocked hits or effective uptime as 'uptime' mean jack shit

small marsh
#

I was low-balling my number for the sake of argument lol

solid cairn
#

and it's great for when you have to pull with no rage

small marsh
#

60% is sufficient with bounding

uneven mason
#

"no rage"

#

"reprisal"

#

does not compute

solid cairn
#

yeah i find it really easier to tank in m+ with it

uneven mason
#

Know what I want - replace rumbling earths CD reduction on Shockwave, with a talent that gives us that anima power which turns heroic leap into earthquake

signal plover
#

Yeh

uneven mason
#

I had 3 stacks of that jazz

50,000dmg over 10s

small marsh
#

Unf I love that power

And berserker rage powering up revenge

uneven mason
#

I'd run leaper if we had a EQ on our landing spot

small marsh
#

Holy fuck

inland raft
#

I want shield slam to remove beneficial effects again

small marsh
#

I want shield wall to be 75% again

uneven mason
#

the SS dispel should be added to the Heroic Strike obit page.

Modern warrior is a lot more fun overall though

#

Different game, different appeal

small marsh
#

All classes are more fun, 16 years of tech moving forward alongside constant work will do that

amber herald
#

is there a way to sim a trinket at a higher ilvl than you have on raidbots?

small marsh
#

Yeah, there's just certain things I miss

sweet summit
#

top gear/gear compare/droptimizer

uneven mason
#

Remember when we spammed sunder armor until 5 stacks then hit devastate

#

because devastate did less aggro than sunder armor until 5 stacks

#

and didn't apply sunder armor

#

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

small marsh
#

Lol I can't wait for devastator in TBC so I can actually tank as a prot warrior instead of a fury warrior with a couple prot talents

uneven mason
#

Devastate

small marsh
#

Classic tanking is so dumb

uneven mason
#

not devastator (legion, long wait)

small marsh
#

Devastate, yeah

inland raft
#

I have no interest in tbc i might check out wrath if im bored with retail when it comes out

uneven mason
small marsh
#

It's also very funny that the move that is coming that I'm looking forward to and defines warrior tanking in TBC is our free gcd filler in retail

inland raft
#

If was gonna play tbc though id be bear or prot pally

small marsh
#

Like true vanilla, not classic

uneven mason
#

vanilla you didn't run deep port

#

prot~

small marsh
#

Even in classic in Naxx we all run fury prot, we just slot more defensive gear

inland raft
#

Ya especially in naxx

#

Worse case you put a shield on

We had very different vanilla experiences then, haha

inland raft
#

By that point even with shield you are miles ahead with threat as fprot and just as tanky

small marsh
#

Not saying you're a liar! The tanks I raided with were just deep prot players so I never played with any fury prot

inland raft
#

I feel sorry for any classic dps who had a dprot tank

#

Imagine not beinf able to play the game

small marsh
#

Wait classic or original release

signal plover
#

Why? None of em did enough dps to rip threat back then lol

small marsh
#

I mean original release, not classic re-release

#

Yeah

#

DPS output was so bad in original vanilla

signal plover
#

Cuz very few ppl raided with full world buffs and consumes

small marsh
#

Top tier original vanilla players were weaker than mediocre classic raiders

inland raft
#

I mean original release none of us knew the game and we didnt have the itemization til late in yhe game

signal plover
#

Which is why deep prot was plenty fine

small marsh
#

Yeah I meant that when I played original vanilla everyone tanked as deep prot

signal plover
#

I saw one fury tank in all of vanilla

inland raft
#

But high end guilds were swapping fprot towards end of vanilla

small marsh
#

Dprot is a meme in classic

inland raft
#

I remember arms tanking im bwl myself

uneven mason
small marsh
#

Aaaahh I wasn't in a high end guild 🤣

tepid nest
#

any good m+ youtube content for prot warr?

small marsh
#

We struggled to clear BWL and got flattened by AQ40 until TBC then dissolved

uneven mason
#

you just needed the bonus threat and extra SB charge from prot mortal strike and 5% crit in fury

sweet summit
uneven mason
#

31/5/15 was designed more because of how the early trees planned out

inland raft
#

Ya mortal strike against ebonrock it think it was? Second dragon

tepid nest
sweet summit
#

hopefully nerftank as well if he keeps playing prot 🙏

uneven mason
#

because releast prot tree was burning garbage.

stable kernel
#

yeah nerf is good too

#

Fem has been playing a lot of warr

#

lately too

#

but he doesnt do youtube

uneven mason
#

Legit what prot had to work with on release

verbal herald
#

Are you guys useing WW as prot?

uneven mason
#

No

#

remove it from your bars

#

forever

verbal herald
#

feels like kinda waste when it cost 30 rage :/

uneven mason
#

Because it is

inland raft
#

Hamstring prob not worth a keybind either if tc isn’t enough to vet space then should be using externals

#

Lots of specs have those odd out skils

uneven mason
#

"Unpruning" was really "Adding a bunch of usless shit for no reason"

tepid nest
#

thats not really true, in some cases ye

#

but in a lot of cases it was a good change

#

hamstring is worth a keybind, ww not

sweet summit
#

i dont have hamstring bound :/

verbal herald
#

cool, what about Shattering Throw pve wise?

#

pve = CN 🙂

sweet summit
#

mythic sunk king

#

mythic stone legion generals

inland raft
#

Has niche uses in dungeons sometimes too

tepid nest
#

shattering throw does some good damage to shields, some use in necrotic wake for sure

smoky wave
#

Hakkar too

tepid nest
#

and ToP

#

and hakkar, yup

jagged pier
#

the goliaths in SoA

cold echo
#

Yep Hakkar shield

orchid frigate
#

speaking of goliaths, when i do that first pull you do in SoA it feels like 50% of the times i get the goliath and 50% i dont. how can there be a difference? 😒

uneven mason
#

on Hakkar shield is big hnggg

#

since that guy can be a pain on tyrannical

#

Just make sure your group doesnt sit there blasting in los

orchid frigate
#

the hardest part of the pull

#

feel like every pull where you want to line mobs the dps is there peeking

inland raft
#

Hardest part of tanking in general is dps unable to keep their dicks in their pants

small marsh
#

I shattering throw any shields I see

inland raft
#

95% of tank issues are solved by dps waiting for the pull to be finished

small marsh
#

Hamstring can also be good on spite ghosts

frail wyvern
#

The mage who combust a pack before you even got 2 globals off is my favorite

orchid frigate
#

is NW an especially good dungeon for spiteful? only done that one as DPS this week and felt like it was a minor annoyance

wanton condor
#

shattering throw on goliath/hakkar/meat shields

tepid nest
#

its definitely way more annoying in something like SD, ToP etc

#

NW is nice and open for the most part

orchid frigate
#

mhm

wanton condor
#

SD spiteful is oof

orchid frigate
#

SD is oof

lofty widget
#

SD spiteful is big stonks

#

getting double stacks from canisters

wanton condor
#

I honestly don't think it's that bad overall these days? It's just nasty for cramped affixes

orchid frigate
#

i was there for the first time since before 9.0.5 and didnt know they changed so you couldnt pull 2/3 of the pack before gauntlet

wanton condor
#

the canister bit is nifty, but it really slows progress in the rotunda and gauntlet imo

frail wyvern
orchid frigate
#

"stay back and ill show you how to deal with this pull!!!"

#

"its so ez lmao!"

frail wyvern
#

Haha then all 3 come and you look like a real pro

orchid frigate
#

yeah 😄

#

total wipe ofc

frail wyvern
#

Alot of people invis that pack now

orchid frigate
#

yeah did that today

#

so nice that its common nowadays to bring invis pots

frail wyvern
#

If they don't bug and drop invis 😂

orchid frigate
#

yeah hehe

uneven mason
#

4/5 people have invis pots

modern brook
uneven mason
#

that one dude is like 🤷‍♀️ no one ever does it in my groups

#

Maybe because YOU NEVER HAVE INVIS POTS (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

modern brook
#

I didnt enter this dungeon to PUSSY OUT of fighting something 😠

sweet summit
#

chad mindset

wanton condor
#

I don't dare invis in SD since someone is going to fuck up and die

chilly brook
#

Tbh

modern brook
#

also high key: idg how ppl die to mistblades anymore

#

the mobs a joke now it does like 2 casts

#

then crumples

chilly brook
#

Everyone flips out over SD

#

But it's a pretty easy key tbh

modern brook
#

It's mechanic heavy thats why

#

You cant ungabunga it

chilly brook
#

Second boss is the only thing that'll give you trouble anymore

wanton condor
#

SD has a super loose timer

modern brook
#

3rd boss imo. its the only real check in the dungeon

chilly brook
#

Mistdancers are a joke if you have a competent tank

wanton condor
#

it's just hard bosses and the gauntlet feels bad

modern brook
#

2nd boss is just a do the dance

#

the add isnt hard to burst down

#

the boss has like no hp even on tyr

#

3rd boss is a fatty healing check

wanton condor
#

and a lot more shitchecks

modern brook
#

and also a bit of a comp check at higher keys

chilly brook
#

Like fr all you gotta do as a tank with mistdancers is stay in the same spot

modern brook
#

Gauntlet is a Healer check

chilly brook
#

Literally have him cast

#

Sidestep

#

Then go back to the same spot

modern brook
#

🧠

chilly brook
#

You can have all the echoes in one spot

stable kernel
#

yeah and avoid traps

#

but just move him down and keep in same spot

lofty widget
#

only gets difficult when you get traps in that one spot

stable kernel
#

aiming wise

chilly brook
#

Some dumbass melee is gonna hit the trap for you

modern brook
#

hard facts dbh

stable kernel
#

i found just make them face a wall

#

and a dps will step on trap true

tawdry dirge
#

anyone got a nice WA that includes a deepwounds and demoshout tracking?

lofty widget
#

honestly as long as you dont face them towards ranged youre gonna be fine

chilly brook
#

I say this as the dumbass melee who steps on the trap for you

stable kernel
#

ty for the kind service sir

#

u gotta keep healers on their toes

#

otherwise we die

lilac sleet
#

I feel super squish in 15 keys all of a sudden, yesterday and today

chilly brook
#

It is fortified

lilac sleet
#

just getting melted

stable kernel
#

Griev + fort

#

could be healers too

chilly brook
#

You're gonna get hit harder than you normally would have on tyrannical for most of the dungeon

stable kernel
#

and have you been intervening ranged?
