oh noes... so just charge in Revenge and then TC? or just spam Revenge even when there's no proc til the agro is stable?
The finger gymnastics of the pull just become second nature..half the time I don't even know the 'keys' I'm pushing...just the abilities tied to them.
like..I couldn't tell you what my 1, 2, 3..alt 1, alt 2..etc abilties 'are'
just that I use all of them..all the time.
revenge is our main damage ability it need to be cast more than when its free
Yeah, I don’t think I will get a 226 spike anytime soon as my prot is used mainly for M+ but I do have 210 anima field that I could get to 220. Currently using a 213 splintered heart as my other trinket. Been farming for scale for past 2 weeks with no luck :/
thank you for stating this out! very much appreciated
and if you don't have the reprisal legendary yet, getting that will help with pulling as you get block for free and get big revenge you can use for free immediately
I do all my keybinds based around my hand location on mouse/keypad..and then the frequency of use of those abilities get assigned to things like Q, E, F..etc. And then you just get used to doing that pull 'blast'
The reason I like doing the heroic throw is because the ability has additional threat tied to it.
i suggest reading icy veins guide i think it gves he run down on when to use stuff if i remeber
ok will def do that, thanks again
I wouldn't say revenge is our 'main' damage ability; i would give that honor to shield slam.
But that's just semantics about the definition of 'main'.
was it you @jagged pier who was trying sludge m with reprisal?
Yar, he liked it.
starting on it tonight, i'm wondering if I should give it a shot, or just stick to wall
Also KoM remember that shield block and ignore pain are not on the global cooldown.
yer i did it and made a video explaining how i used it
Avatar is also not on gcd, and I don't think?
amazing, think i've saved your channel so'ill go check it out now thanks
2 weeks tf how many Runs? Uf ur eu we can do a Farm grp
Oh i thought scale mb
anyone got any guesses on when 9.1 is coming out?
they said summer i think i remember
august at the earliest now
bruh fr
as weve heard nothing about it so far
thats one long ass patch
not the longest
and i rather stuff comes out not broken
like the raid bosses
and stuff u know
so id rather they take their time just take this time to play other classes specs games etc
go for the tmog this season otherwise its locked away forever
pvp tmog? or covenant?
pvp mog
the pvp one
sucks how terrible the dungeon gear is
its all vers/mastery at best
id ask Mwahi he seems to be doing fine and hes doesnt pvp
Is the bis shield for prot the one in mists?
its from mythic stone legion generals, cos 233 ilvl
Im doing fine right now too but im gonna be looking to push higher into m+ and might as well get the better gear
the shield from theatre is slightly better than the mists one at equal ilvl
speaking of stats is more stats > specific stats still better for pushing higher keys
e.g. ilvl upgrade but losing a buncha vers or haste
yes
is there such a thing as too much haste?
not really
nah
but 39% u get taxed
yeah i'm close to 45 with itf
without itf*
i mean 39% without ITF
okay so there's room to go
current ring: 207 145hast/40mast or 213 125hast/versa, in gv 129 crit/86hast. Shoulders would be replacing the same ones at 203 (61hast/33mast). I should go with the shoulders, rigt? even tho i sometimes run the wall in shoulder slot.
Ahhh thanks! I just had the necrotic wake one just upgraded it to 213 was previously using the 197 pvp honor one hopefully it makes me a little more tanky!
that will help a lot 
yeah i'll probably cut down and look for some vers or crit
Cant wait to tank some 10s with it!
whatever your highest ilvl is tbh
probably shoulders due to main stat as well
isit me or is ur voice really soft in ur vids @jagged pier
what are the must have prot conduits?
i dunno i always record in the morning for less noise
and that depends on cov and boss or dungeon
any cookie cutter ones? im necrolord
well then u want your banner one
unvering and stalwart i would always say u want
then if your double potency take SoF for dungeons and Ashen for raids
which soulbind are you using?
i have no idea i just switched to necro and doign campaign... 34 reknown but havent finished story quesat
oh ok 😂
i should be using Emeni for gnashing chompers? (haste) ?
emeni
plague deviser
emeni is more damage focused, plague deviser is great if you drop below 50% frequently to proc ooz's coating. gives you a decent safety net
bonesmith heirmir isnt good ? ravenous pendant seems cool for regen no?
ok thanks so much for the info
blizzard wants me to play like this what can i say
fight them
im not a big fan of heirmir, he kinda forces you to 0 potency conduits
serrated spaulders is solid tho
im not sure how ravenous pendant works, as i didnt try it. so idk if you need the killing blow of if it works like war machine does
with no friends and no IO u dont get invited to keys
conquerers banner gives a better chance, for a pug tank
i am barely timing 14, just did 2-15s timed recently
makes you want to murder your friends in t he end though
oh no the 14% str potency
let me see if i can find a log actually
alright i wiill test things out this week and see the differneces
serrated spaulders was 2.7% of my overall here
not great, not bad
wonder if the potency conduit would do more damage
i see many vids of prots able to spam revenge though, i dont know how u guys are doing that, i have to constantly keep IP ip, on top of shield block
you can take a look at the log i linked
experience
and see how i did it
i am looking at ur log
u only use IP when u need it
obv thats mists, where you take fuckall damage cos like everything is melee hits you block
but yeah
It would not be worth picking up a Viscera of Coalesced hatred 226ilvl over a 220 Stone legion and 203 spattered scale right ?
Would be better to pick the neck that would give me 163 more haste and some mastery(3ilvl upgrade)
definitely
id stick to slh and scale
viscera is so underwhelming
so take neck
Yeah 163 more haste is pog

Do people mainly use the intervene legendary or the shield slam / wall legendary ?
Plka is now Kyrian, bois! ❤️
are they close in m+ too ?
I'm curious to see how it will go for him
reprisal is a lot better if used correctly in m+
Plka's possible final destination. True feelings really come out in this vid. If you have 4ish minutes to waste :P
Protection Warrior Covenant Choice
If anyone was wondering, although I feel that Nightfae is BIS for prot warrior in terms of utility, damage and overall fun. Covenant diversity is very important for doing M+. There is very little...
and by used correctly i mean just using charge and intervene a lot
well i really just want to be nightfae for xmog though T-T
white treebark so so cool
can play what u want NF is good for us
yeah, night fae is very strong
How good is the Sunking trinket on normal?
Show of Force / Unnerving should now be implemented in simc.
ran the normal version for a long time in keys, still run the hm version when pushing keys, not so much in raid
do u have an idea for venthyr soulbinds, like all 3 seems so good and im not sure what to go for
I'm using Nadija
Nadjia ya
Draven feels over the top defensive
and the duel one i suppose is what we go for?
I go with middle
ah ok, thank you, i was playing with thotart becaue he gave the versa one
1 min icd tho 
Sir, did you add LS to the APL 
depends on how good you are tbh
RBGs are faceroll if you get into the right groups/play premade with guildies or something
Who drops bis warrior wep?
mythic sire as its 233
pulsating stoneheart any good?
no
No
thought not
weapon drops are a myth....A MYTH
gonna guess it's pun intended xD
but yeah i have not seen a weapon drop in well over 1 month now. Still rocking a 200 ilvl 1h 😢
anima field emitter looks trash but is it?
Well been nf cuz warrior was alt so was going for fun over covenant diversity but making warrior my new tank since enjoying it so much more, how does kyrian stack up?
Kyrian is the best across the board for general use
real? I just got it in my vault
that's not too bad, its a big upgrade for me so I guess thats a big yes 😄
hmmm, just did upper reaches on layer 8, no reprisal leggo
maybe you already have it 😄
i dont, sadly
but people here said they thought it was a 100% drop chance 🤔
ahh fuck
i know what the problem is i think
i havent completed the runecarving pre quests
fml
It's 100% drop chance if you get the correct wing
And yeah, you need to do the quest lul
I made that mistake on my first alt
that also happened to a friend, he noticed after doing the world boss and 40 trys farming ToP first boss for rogue leggo
ouch, i have just done 4 torghast runs thankfully. not quite as bad
Any kyrian bois who noticed the 3% reduced magic dmg change ?
nice
Would you guys still play wall in DoS, instead of Reprisal?
i still run reprisal in DoS
feel like i get "the wall value" from reprisal, due to running AM in terms of SW CDR
☝️
Last night I tried viscera over mah field emitter. Made me a little bit sad
Wall is still gud
I like the dynamic that reprisal gives prot warriors over the wall, but it is also a wee bit clunky for small brained tonks like myself
I like reprisal in m+ and some raid fights
Yeh but I only do 4 keys per week in the 15-17 range usually.
I think that is what most people do yes. But by all means experiment for yoself bruv. But I think all here will recommend AM.
Moar avatar = moar damaj
ok, i have another question which is more about play style. at the start of a pack when i have most stuff up, it feels like i have so much rage, like with demo shout, avatar, spear, ravager
do you guys pop them all for damage, or spread them out for survivability?
play best served cold over booming voice with reprisal
and spam revenge
use IP to avoid overcapping
ye, that's what im doing
well, im running booming voice but i will switch
it'll be nice not to have to worry about demo shout being a dmg cd
BV is overkill rage with reprisal
^
when is vdh magic damage bug going to be fixed?
soon ™️ ?
i have the worst decision ever
weapon 220 haste versatility or weapon 226 crit mastery
for key 20+ in m+
226
not even the slightest doubt?
nah
impressive
Weapon secondaries are numerically low.
Weapon DPS is by far the most important stat for DPS.
true but i already had a bit of mastery i didnt want on my gear
its sad
but i understand how u guys r right
what change is this?
its bug
Al´ar and Scale are good for M+ or should i go for another one?
causing you to take 3% increased damage instead of 3% reduced damage from "let go of the past"
those are the two good tank trinkets currently
al'ar is great if you need it
if you never proc it its just a dead stat stick
and youd get better use of something else
got it now from the weekly quest ^^
Scale and splinter for pushing is always good
If ur doing easy content then get something else as well
so the bug fix is actually a 6% reduced damage taken buff, effectively?
whenever they fix it aye
in terms of what we are now yes
oh, it isnt fixed
It was already fixed.
Over the weekend, players found out that Pelagos' Let Go of the Past Trait was actually increasing magic damage taken by 3%. A hotfix has now been pushed to live servers which makes the trait correctly reduce magic damage taken. This will result in about 5.8% less magic damage for those who used the trait.
thats HUGE!
Passive QoL I can't honestly say I've "noticed" it
Do you guys use a particular macro for your intervene or charge etc.? And I don't suppose there's a way to write the macro so that you can intervene your dps or healer specifically without having them as focus?
Mouse over works pretty well
yes you can use [target=healername]
I have seen some people run with the charge on target and mouseover for intervene, might give that a try.
how do i properly use reprisal?
AH nice one
Yeah if u run with the same folks or wanna remember to adjust the macro before each run
Then that works well
I just have the combined charge/intercept macro and then a focus intercept keybind.
Yeah, I just sometimes like to focus a target to interupt, so it is kinda annoying to set someone as focus to intervene.
Could you send me your specific macro so that I have an idea if I want to change it easily?
guys, which would you recommend more, icy veins or wowhead guide? or are they written by the same person
Also make sure you aren't charging through packs for reprisal only to have the rest of the pack smack you from behind as you pass through
At work ATM but I think it's either pinned in the #268491842637660160 channel or in mwahi's guide
#showtooltip Charge
/cast [target=mouseover,help,exists,nodead]Intervene;Intervene
/cast [target=target,harm,exists,nodead]Charge;Charge
Yeh that
Ah sorry, thanks for sending it over
dw
Legit most fun I've had with reprisal is mythic huntsman where the rogue I was using as my target figured it out and shadowsteps 1s before intervene is off of CD, so hunts turns and smacks me in the back. So I put a marker on his head.
is it actually worth it to wear an int 1 hander with haste
does anyone know where to find/could someone post the intervene macro with /targetfriend
yeah I figured that
I was just wondering if this warrior was 400iq or 40 iq
he asked for my int one hander
I gave it to him in the end
yeah no , i did that too in the beginning when i had no clue
Transmog
i'll see if i can find it
tfw he was already wearing an agility weapon
oh well
spirit for better rage regen 
Int weapon, or rather spell power what it was back then, was for prot Paladin in tbc a thing
spirit
Feels bad, but helmet has biggest stat budget so it's worth
Yep. eyes water

Welcome to Scale club @jagged pier Big Grats
how long has it been 5 months
without seeing one ever XD
now phail and sintouched and im done for gear
no scale, but got the 220 sanguine, so I cried a bit less hard
replacing my IQD felt good.
Gotten stygia 4 weeks in a row even with heroic carries (we're extending mythic so no loot there) and 4 keys. Bit sad innit'
i wouldnt have got scale if i hadnt done 10 keys last week
so thank god i started boosting keys XD
How do I stop sucking with spell reflect please and thank
what are looking to do with the macro realistically?
Also I hate you jakey my vault has been shit for weeks :(
I'm using this: /cast [help] Intervene, [mod:shift,harm] Heroic Leap, [harm] Charge or #showtooltip Charge
/cast [target=mouseover,help,exists,nodead]Intervene;Intervene
/cast [target=target,harm,exists,nodead]Charge;Charge
think practice is all, i still miss a lot of stuff beyond shadowcore
Use it on CD and you're already using it 90% effectively!
The other 10% is holding it for stuff you know can or will target you
Wait fuckin really
yeah there are targetfriend macros but from what i've just tried out it really looks like something that'll get you slapped in the back, mouseover or party target seems like the way to go tbh
I mean, it's better to use it on CD, than to not use it
I'm always trying to hold it smartly and sucking
Lol fair
Bluh M+ just has so much shit to memorize
I swear learning all of M+ is like 10x the work of learning CN
Raid tanking is so easy compared to M+
Yes
Otoh tank is easiest role in raid and probably hardest role in M+
Generally speaking
Raid tanking CN is almost mindless
Once you got the hang of the class and how m+ plays, you start automatically figuring out stuff naturally even when going in for the first time
CN is the hardest tank tier in a while
So idk chief
its only "hard" if you have braindead dps/heal who don't even try to help the group like doing the maze in mists
Council slg and dena is 100x more challenging than any raid boss before for tanking
Positioning matters a fuckton on those bosses and how tanks can influence success there
atm i have
/targetfriendplayer
/cast interevene
/targetlasttarget
But i saw macros on here that had something like /[noharm]targetlasttarget for the last line, which would be better if the macro hadn't found a friendplayer
just do a mouse over and use your raid frames
^
then you're optimizing the wrong thing tbh
Nothing like that last Hand of Destruction in P3 on heroic...
hey guys what is best tanking race for ally ?
Dwarf/DSDwarf
was it kul or mechgnome ?!
🤮
its dwarf
no it was dwarf or darksteel dwarf
Whatever
stupid rogue
not a nerd wouldnt know the lore
Mechagnome for dmg, dwarf for tanking
it should work fine and do fine but i'd be worried about some bad intervenes if i wasn't being too careful. At least mouseover you should always know where you're going
what lv 30 talent are people running with the reprisal lego?
what is dwarf benefits for tanking tho ?
2% crit dmg and healing
And the stoneform
hmmm another kyrian pot
BSC in M+
Stoneform is fucking OP
I remember early BFA when Dark Iron's racial would give you 1 stack of the str buff per stack of debuff removed
and then for the 50 row in m+ its AM over bolster since we have enough sb uptime
right?
Yes
so I'd truck around the 2nd boss in UR and get 15 stacks then slap it and go HAM
that got fun detected fast tho
idk i dislike being a dwarf cause it make me like a boomer

Legit playing alliance
worried about apperances

These kids and their glitter vamp fetishes
playing ally is a boomer move tbh
a rat.
get rid of factions we dont need them anymore we work together all the time pvp can just be us practicing for war
dont @ me
can you charge over enemies and assert dominance like a highmountain tauren? i think not.
fuckit remove all races turn everyone into goblins
merc as fuck
best mount though
nah horde are trash

youd think the alliance vs horde thing wouldve ended by now
we're stuck in the infinite loop of "grr i hate u other faction uh oh guess this one threat needs us to work together so lets be friends"
Hi guys
we need a 3rd faction
stupid question: with reprisal leggo. is 100% uptime shield block possible at a certain haste level?
rat people vs the rest
I had no problems running duingeons today aside from ToP where gorechop and last boss were kind of destroying me through IP + SB
any tips on how to h andle the tank busters there ?
reapting scythe you can spell reflect
You forgot
Horde makes bad choices, lets murdering psychopath lead them. Is shocked when a war starts. Half the horde who were sitting on their ass before hand doing nothing (looking at you tauren and trolls) rise up to take out the nutter, goes "Guess we'll let the Undead handle things, what can go wrong when we let murder zombies run the show"
so every other you can completely mitigate
You cant reflect every scythe though just fyi
prot is best tank on last boss ToP with that SR 😄
if you let the 1st one through you an sr 2 or 3 in a row with the right timings i think
i mean it's my 1st day tanking so i was quite clueless ngl
you can reflect all IF she only does 3 casts before transition
so i only did 10s, so we didn't wipe or anything but higer keys will be an issue
@marsh aurora youll eventually learn to rotate the short CDs in with the big ones so youll always have something up
its really a practice and comfort thing
also my shield block up time was poop but that's something i'm working on
i rerolled prot 2-3 weeks ago from rdruid its a blast but theres a learning curve
63% uptime with 14% haste kekw
yeup
intervene charge macro?
i find ToP annoying to use it
yeah mouse over
but i was more into learning fights
than getting charges in
tbh
maybe a big WA reminder to intervene when its up too
as a dps player i can ignore 90% of the things
well with trash, when/if you kite away. likely there is one lagging behind. charge to the furthest mob. again it just becomes a habit after a while
I want to be able to slow thigns :c
youll get there
TC slows things
shockwave really slows things too
so does fear
Most of the time i use fear as an interrupt and instantly break it so movs dont head to the next pack
thats what menace is for amirite??
feelsbad'
i used it once with the fear conduit wasnt to bad u just has to actually aim where the mobs go
so its just to much work for the worth of it tbh
best of both worlds would be menace but cower in place, as you really generally just want it for the aoe interrupt
Menace just turns it into Incap Roar 👌
😂
yes
Hey guys, what are the best trinkets for Prot atm? I just got a 216 Overwhelming Power Crystal and idk if I should go for it or chose the 207 shield from the raid to replace my 171 ^^
atm I got shit trinkets since its a new alt (darkmoon and macabre sheet)
36ilvl increase on your shield is going to be >
shield >>>>>>>> anything
like over anything
Ok thanks for the heads up guys 🙂
a 6ilvl increase on your shield is going to whip upgrading your trinkets
our upgrades are basically Better shield -> yes
anytime I debate going NF... I just look at our raid logs and remember, oh yea, everyone is NF
:c
tc is the bootleg slow
get cracklin' and have just a normal knockoff slow at least
or go kleia and take the random 45% slow
that said, playing both CT and more jumpy this week I think I'm preferring the latter on NW at least
stitchwerks fucking suck
soulshape has been a huge help but good lord do I miss my kyrian pot
the pot is that good?
Hi guys. I just switched to NF. Anyone able to make me the best tanking build for mythics and raid? I just te reprisal legendary 😁. Got 1400raider io as dps but wanne try to tank some (because i suck at it)
its incredible strong since it removes curses, bleeds, dots, etc.
dude
the pot this week is opppp
As far as I understand, this is the pumper build for NF
I could use that for
the flying snakes in SoA
the ones everyone always forgets to interrupt
Spell reflect them; line up all their casts at the same time
nah thats a magic effect, you should reflect those tho
big dam
Allright! For m or raid, or doebst really matter? I'm just renown 19. Switched 2 days ago 🤒
why interrupt when you can spell reflect?
Because there is 5 of them
good idea
that build was for M+, unsure whats best for raid
and those damn things don't sync up easy like NW casters
^
never had it bug for me
I usually get 3-4; 1-2 usually go through
sometimes the magic 5 happens, but realistically getting 3-4 reflected is gains
Allright! And for talents? Thats alot already
Niya is best for raid
Reprisal build; Devastor, Booming Voice/Best Served Cold (BV for def, BSC for off), Indomitable, Ravager, Anger Management
Then you can either join team Double Time or Stormbolt and also decide if you want to go team Crackling Thunder or Super Leap
You can either go Herbs (haste) or burs (passive damage) on niya
since herbs procs from indom healing
Dem burrs go burrrrrrrrrrrr
less than before
used to proc and hit multiple targets
funtimes that first week
having it be just behind revenge in dmg
since you'd drop 3 burrz and it'd hit 6 targets
3x
I saw our havoc last night on Sludgefist do some big dam with burs
im like, why is that allowed?
but alas, ya boi is a necrochad
It's hands down absolutely, by far, the best signature ability for tanking
over valuing pot
Actually with reworked flesh craft that one is aight
I mean, pot is good
i'd agree somewhat for m+ but flesh is pretty sweet now
but its not, end all be all
Thx m8!
Eh it's more that yiffshape and mirror warp are both very meh imo
I'm actually a fury warrior in disguise
still probably better then door of shadows 😦
I don't love the nf or vn signatures that much
I remember in early beta when people thought\ door of shadows would be bonkers
yeah it's the main reason i haven't caved and gone nf
And was thinking of old dogshit NL signature
The current one, especially when running emeni with the cast while moving, is quite good
I think flesh craft and pot are both WAY WAY better than either of the mobility signatures, for tanking
I think for pure defensive purposes, yes
but for low mobility tanks, soulshape and door can be helpful
Because we're not slug tanks (Pal/DK)
what you talking about, my DK zooms!!!
Are you dissin on deaths advance
is like a Segway racing a ducati
♿
DKs lose to wheelchair paladins, how about that.
actually, I think paladins are slower
According to our elesham, paladin is fast on xymox
at least we can talent into Wraith Walk
Doing Xymox on my DK was amazing! Funny watching everyone suffer trying to run away from annihilation
yeah running the bDK for alt runs that is like, the only plus over warrior hah.
ey guys need a little help i am swiching from dps to tank for my raid group as warrior what covenant should i go for the raid and what leggo should i craft i have all gear 220 from pvp haste versa so i dont know if i am missing something so i can replace the tank we had in our mythic progress
I think pot is best on necrotic weeks, otherwise soulshape is nifty in that it lets you run CT and not worry about kitability, but yes, in general it's the best m+ tanking skill
Ive been stuck on my BDK for this tier.... we somehow lost 3/4 Unholy DKs so Im there as a 2nd AMZ
The wall or reprisal for raiding, TW is very strong but passive and uninteresting, reprisal is a bit more complicated to make use of, but is better in M+ as well.
As for covenant - Kyrian is fine.
NF is fine
NL is fine
Necro is chad
Venthyr is fine
NL 10s of invul on death is pretty good
"whoops I fucked up, time to give everyone 10s to react and do free damage"
NL is simping bois who have a pipe dream of actually contributing to their raid but in reality keeps buffing the holy paladin and MW monk
Do holy paladins get damage from their mastery?
no sadly
damn
if they did venthyr Hpal + Prot war would be meta
@uneven mason thanks mate do i need some specific stats ? i have gone for versa haste and mastery i have like 9% crit and with what conduites should i go for raid and talents
item level
Who says it wont be though
it might be in 9.1
we've got some tanky boys almost on the front page of Raider.io
TIME OF THE KITER IS COMING TO AN END!
AGE OF THE 🧱 ARISE!
Yea, lots of people are playing prot war right now
I think VDH just burnt them out though
I think the gap of what is possible with Pwar/Guardian at 226ilvl and what is possible with VDH at 226ilvl is very small
and thats what we're starting to see
They are worried that the VDH bug with magic dmg will get fixed and gearing other tanks 😅
the tanks who don't need to kite are reaching the upper ranks now because gear is filling up our tankbutts
I agree; my DH hasnt started to feel anymore, or less, tanky since I started playing it
I think warrior splits the difference well between massive ball of wall (guardian) and jumpy boi (DH)
granted, at low I level early it was night and day between VDH and everything else
VDH bored me too much to even remotely wanna play it
@frail wyvern Nah, it started before people discovered the bug
I like vdh, it’s the havoc that bothered me
i have all 5 tanks, warr makes me giddy
I just like fury and arms better
we're quite a bit more on the tanky side than anyone but Guardian
how big numbers when can't even out DPS a VDH?
Agree. My first tank was prot pally and it was too stress inducing in higher keys
is tank gear just getting us tankier faster than dps is getting dpsier?
there are 6
basically such that dps is more of the limit in pushing keys

It's usually the other way around Sigma
That's not a thing, havoc does sick AoE right now
Tbh
right, that's what I'd think
Is there a reason why you wouldn't use signet in m+?
Dps dealing more dmg than tanks can get tanky
Cuz it's trash?
it has zero defenisve value
@uneven mason for the wall what item should i build it with what stats mate
pop avatar
Bladestorm procs
well shit
shoulders haste/vers
6, forgot druid
I Mean, bladestorm gives a ton of rage
asdoes reck
If you want to do damage wouldn't it be better?
so it has defenive value (minorly)
i dont tank on druid, just heal
Reprisal buffed revenges way better
Than reprisal? Definitely not
I see, good to know thx
now if signit procced a free ravager... then we would be in business
wouldn't you use the wall in a raid?
Our ravager also doesn't proc signet, only avatar, so it loses 50% of its value
DPS is almost always going to be your upper limiter in completing keys, you can figure out a way around almost anything, but actually dealing enough damage in time.
this is a big reason why VDH was the meta, and really the reason we're seeing prot climb a bit higher now is we got 2 buffs
reprisal treated a lot of QoL issues on engage
right, my thought here is that DPS is basically maxed; you're not pushing past 25 or so regardless of your tank being fucking invincible
and 10% aura buff is nice
until tanks get big enough to pull extra packs that is
VDH just happened to have the highest potential burst dmg out of all tanks on a short timer, WHILE Maintaining all defensive value
so long as the packs die fast enough 😛
all cov still balanced for mythic +?
yes
Thats where the kiting came in if pull lasts longer than 8 seconds - run forest run
im leaning nf but not sure haha
pretty sure if Ravenous/Incarnation was on a 1min CD Guardian would've been the meta tank
yep. sure wish my heroic throw hit 3 targets and had no minimum range
soo im ok with nf wont be an issue
I would put Kyrian ahead of NF since someone gots to bring the Kyrian buff with all these NF mages, hunters, and druids running amok
Sure wish my heroic leap left a circle that exploded for 30k
and how does the reprisal leggo work
or ravager had a 15s CD
charge and intervene give you block and rage
might put us above VDH!
gasp
living the dream I see
"Heroic Throw now produces an axe that spins around the target dealing 300% weapon damage over 15 seconds"
hwo does the revenge part of it work?
gotcha
like if you had dodge/parry
It's the buff you get from dodging usually
also gains the buffed dmg from BSC
So BSC is good with it
But yeah, you see VDH do their thing
and then you watch a guardian who is venthyr do the Ravenous/Incarnation dance
and understand where the real power is.
"Giant red Murderbur"
If you macro tclap and demo after heroic leap, you kinda get a poor mans vdh
hi i'm filling in tnking in raid tonight, think 216 with 15% haste and 21% vers is enough to get by in mythic first 6 bosses? or will i giga struggle
bit low on haste but that shouldnt matter
youll be fine
survivability is like 95% self play anyway
ahh yikes =p can't let the gear carry me XD
throw some avatar in there and boom cha ching!
dont do that 👀
I have like 8ilvl on you and almost twice your haste (same vers). I still splat spectacularly when I jack something up.
The life of a warrior - play super well, you're invincible, screw up and you're abstract art on the floor
should i use Reprisal on Legs or Feet?
I wish waist was an option for more of our leggos. super cool transmog options with that belt
they need to let us transmog the shadowghast set ffs
i heard rumblings that next tiers set is just the shadow ghast set
they've been omega lazy with transmogs lately imo
so satisfying when you do some dungeons on your twinks and come always back to your prot because it just feels right and fun
The legendary set will be available as transmog in the future
Just not now
And by that time it'll be boring cuz everybody will have the set basically instantly, Mark my words
It's prolly just gonna be a fucking campaign set
80000 anima cost
Eh idk, if everybody has omega easy access to it, it'll be cool for a week
See ya in 3 years
Some nerds will do that in a few months to get a wowhead article
me 🙂
Prolly not
😦
sry if this is a newb question but tried to search, is there a specific opener once i have reprisal?
any of that change?
charge - revenge+shieldblock
not really
just that you have a lot more rage on opening to pump damage/defense
I figured if we have a free revenge wed want to spend it asap for the show of force TC etc
whats show of force
"rev increases next tc" conduit
doesn't exist
9.1 Raidsets are skins of legendaries in 4 different colors 🙂
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
"We fired the intern we had working on tier sets for starving to death at their cubicle"
I see nothing
you should delete that if its in your book
wait... are you venthyr?
Isleep
I really wonder what tools they have for art assets, as they put out so few I can't imagine they have more than a few people working on new sets or that they're having to program them in machine code
im kyrian
literally moved 80% of their artists into new IPs
shouldve made Show of Force work in the opposite; Thunderclap increases the damage of your next revenge!
after Legion
TC increases the damage of revenge for 6 seconds
make it a maintenance buff
YES
Maintenance buffs can die in a hole
someone get Ion on the line, we just fixed Shadowlands
why is it not good now? charge/SB, free rev, empowered tc ?
Just let us do damage lol
Says legit the dude whos current raiding spec is a walking maintenance buff
Wdym
Thunderclap hits like a wet noodle, this aint your BFA thunderclap
Arms/fury are both maintenance buffs
Nah fam
(or debuffs in arms case)
Is slap the button
is a maintenance buff
Nah fam
fury is PRETTY LIGHTS GET SLAPPED
Slap the button
yah fam
arms isn't really though?
like you never have to think about deep wounds
unless you mean rend
fuck rend
Condemn does
Kinda not true
(not venthyr)
I only mortal strike to maintain the buff

Like 55% of your fight is maintenance buff
running either of the non-venthyr leggos it's still in rotation
Sof is a small dps upgrade, if you're playing pelagos it's the go-to 2nd potency to play, but kleia simmed higher for me anyway
either fishing for CS or mostly free via overpower
frankly they're just more fun to play, I really like letting MS reset OP and then OP can reset MS
yeah, I only offspec arms for alt raids
sitll no 2h weapons this Xpac anyway
this is my tank alt for m+ afterall
quit arms with a 197 2h
I've gotten a single 207 2h since
here is hoping I get a 220 orb offa sire farm tonight
course dual 226 as fury probably blow that up
Ok I just heard that WFT is based on groups lol
yup, party based
Well Party = group
You have up to 8 groups in 1 raid
But Party is usually used for the 5 people in your group
Including you
What are people using for mythic + affix weak auras? (e.g. to track necrotic stacks, if enemies are in sanguine, etc) Any good weak aura collection that covers them all?
I tried 'Abby's Mythic+ Affixes' but nothing seemed to show up (maybe I didn't configure something?)
I don't track any affixes specifically
It's just debuffs anyway
Sanguine you can see on the enemy buff frame
i have a really annoying one for necrotic that plays an airhorn every 3 sec if thats something you want lol
And they turn red
Interesting I didnt know enemies turned red
Air horn for necrotic sounds exactly like what I want
i just use defferal of onus tbh
Over X stacks, blow my ear drums out
necrotic is a dps affix if u think about it
Necrotic is variable, sometimes you wanna kite at 25 sometimes you don't kite until 50 stacks
🤷♂️
its set to 20 iirc, but you can turn it up or down as you wish
awesome, thank you
Yea definitely is situational when to leave but some packs apply it way faster than Im expecting sometimes, so just having an alert like this will be awesome
Sounds oldschool
Any leapy fucks are particularly bad for stacking Necrotic quickly lol - thinking of the little guys in Gorechop's wing in ToP specifically
first area of NW, the big lumbering dudes and the leaper
they both have haste buffs iirc
and the little dudes dualwield
NW with necrotic is still pretty fine for prot warriors, lots of blockable dmg
yeah its just that bit in front
they should die fast but flipperhanded DPS can't be bothered to GROUP UP SO THEY STOP JUMPING
Speaking of I'm watching classic TBC content. Plz halp
Can't wait to get my elemental shaman rolling
gonna grab a lightning cap
and be a machine gun
my rshaman buddy has been rolling with the earth ele legendary with me and it is comical how much damage that thing does
make sure you use the ayaya one when playing dps on a spiteful week tho
I got the helm from Mists at 184 with a socket while running weeklies, do i upgrade it to 220
dps is fine reee
or do i keep valor ?
yeup
approximately
that's like the 1st week cap
well i'll run other mists then
but the socket was like hours saved from grinding venari
which felt cool
i used to do them on my spriest
i gave up
also i got reprisal at 225, do i hold on to my ashes for 235 or do i craft the wall if i intend to raid a bit this week ?
i saw nawoh using reprisal in raid but i'm new to tanking so i'm affraid i'll move bosses around too much
Casual
i got a trinket from a WQ 197 ilvl candle that gives 501 versa for 12 sec is that any good?
For raid tanking, if I'm running with two boomkins or two fire mages, do you think it's worth the meme of Banner?
you won't see a massive difference
it's a nice buff
but it requires quit a bit of coordination and won't blow up the meters
Kyarian it is, bless.
(you can also play any other cov you won't go wrong, even vent)
I'm swapping to tank prolly, am Fury so defo a Condemn machine rn
ill take it!
i switched to necro , it's been fun in 3s and m+ but i miss condemn
4.3% leech gang
How much is it to upgrade a helmet?
look at these beautiful stats
Like per upgrade
🥺
idk 250 or 450
varies per item, rings and trinkets are cheap
trinkets are 400
ish
Only reason I'm curious is my paladin got a 210 haste mast with socket

And I haven't had the time to look
which one is best for Prot? together with a Heart of Alar
i also have 220 Anima field
Has anyone tried this with necrotic? I will do it tonight but was wondering before testing it out
can almost guarantee you that it gets reduced by necrotic and thus not great this week especially, as you more often than not have the most necrotic stacks as the mobs are dying
is there a reason several M+ tanks are going with reprisal on boots instead of legs? Is it just cause they have access to mythic ilvl pants?
It's also likely not going to be useful to you
I tried it on Grievous week, It wasnt amazing, but my healer appreciated it between pulls
also procced from shades
ya they can prob get 233 from SLG
wtf, switching sockets and enchants from full haste to full crit is only a 0.9% dps gain on 3 targets for me

how
Thinking sockets and enchants are worth sizeable differences kek
yeah but like
its like 100 crit vs 100 haste when i already have 990 haste and had ITF active aswell

our stats big together
seems weird
feels legit
since you're slowing down your rotation
thus, providing less opportunity for them crittings
ima stay full haste then if its that tiny of a difference lmao
i miss having 30% parry ngl
huh
its what I did
rite
open eyes
unless you have a flipperhanded DH
oh free loot
oh god the horror
legit first kill was when I killed him on pull by intercepting
and letting the first thrash slap his ass
was like butter
he stopped momentuming
tfw im a blood DK now
screeching for externals every time
but yeah I was rolling high crit early on
he just needed to get 2 DS off before the next hit
just how the cookies crumbled for gear
and I was getting 3-5 strings of parry
was glorious
found it~
from the archives
ewwwwww gross it's a rat
always have been 🌎 🧑🚀 🔫 🧑🚀
Because you run thunderlords on boots so it's an easy swap
ah, i haven't done any tanking this xpac yet so I don't have any of the legendaries made. Been arms only
400IQ answer
with new reprisal, would I ever want to run thunderlords?
no
if I only do M+
because a lot of people might not have kept boots if they were always running tl
legit worse than wall in every way
I mean, I guess me calling any of our legos garbage is pretty hairsplitting since TW was legit not in the garbage can because whatever dev tossed it at the dumpster was a shittier shot than they were a developer
"functional, and boring!"
is what they think we like
you can tank +15s with no lego
but why
so signet would be fine
the benefit of not having overpowered legendaries
is it legitimately makes it ok if you don't have one
Did Blood-Splatted Scale not tell you how much damage/absorb it increased per mob?
Going to Ironman this warrior I'm leveling, no covenant, no legendary
I could have sworn it did
jesus why
prob won't be able to do it until fter I move tho
Because 🧱
the only thing that sucks is you can't use covenant armor/weapons iirc.
so the raid dropped weapons/shield are usless
Socket >6 ilvl?
context?
Got 226 helm already with leech and got the same one again also with leech but with socket. However I can max upg to 220
being lazy and not finishing venari
since it dropped drop dungeon
keep the 226 on helm
finish venari and get your socket
from venari
I detest the maw
But what are the odds of getting leech on both
We all do
hmm have enough soulash to craft leaper
might do that
since I don't have the mount yet.
makes maw bearable I heard.
They need to make it so a rank 4 costs rank 1 level once you have a rank 4
wat
in terms of soul ash
once you have one done getting more should be easier than it is
that would result in people doing torghast less
that's the opposite of what they want
I think it would be more actually
