what legendary do you guys usually run with in mythic dungeon?
reprisal
Reprisal
3 leap legos anyone?
not in m+ : p
come on its the best this week lmao
so you guys are telling me that im the only one using the 3 leap legos? haha
outside of pvp probably yeah
Man itโs the best
Yes. It's a meme leggo with no practical use outside of PVP.
you can leap once and it's gucci if you wanna clear stacks
Carried me on arti mythic
you dont even need to leap
Just bounce about and do seeds
Yes its not worth
Meme of the meme
what about the wall?
Wall is the raid leggo
with anger management
Reprisal is the M+ leggo
Outside of just clearing old content and pvp leaper is a meme
for this week I think runnin with 3 leapos is not that bad
Wall with AM=raid
It is that bad
I just did not maintain my aggro and that is why my team was pissed at me at the end eventhough we almost timed it twice
Wall with Bolster=keys if you dont like reprisal
You're giving up an enormous amount of block uptime and damage by using that legendary.
just curious whats your rio rn? @autumn ingot ๐
I'd be pissed with your ass as a dps too
my io is not that high around 1k+
You're killing your runs
Because you're not holding aggro
And because you're wasting time leaping around when you have no need
Reminds me of that one guy in #fury that was like "Nah guys Frenzy is better in M+ than Massacre" and everyone wanted him to show us the math for it while he chirped about being 2K.
not to mention youre losing a bit of DPS by not being able to have SB up and pumping revenges
meaning keys take longer time
alright so I dont have reprisal yet
Wall and Bolster.
feel like bolster might be worth on DoS to run even with reprisal tbh
eases some bigger pulls and mili
Eh
Nothing in DOS hurts us except like...
The Death Speakers.
Shadowcore will dumpster you
Shield Wall is better in DoS
I actually havent tried using bolster what does bolster do?
Bolster gives your Last Stand shield block for its duration
I only know anger managerment is the best one for mythic and raid
ive run a lot of DoS this week and i feel like im only having AM for the avatar
which is good enough ig
ill give it a shot bolster and the wall
And only in conjunction with reprisal
I will say, Griff, that's probably true.
If I do DOS this week I might just go Bolster/Wall.
DoS is super easy this week
The bleed on manastorm is a cunt
yeah milificent a bitch
If you have dps that dont stun her it's bad
i usually end up going through all my CDs for her on tyrannical
If you have good dps the stacks dont normally get too high
at least you can SR a little
It still sucks
guys I have one question, everytime the mobs stacked up to each other, it makes it difficult for me to use interrup when a mob is casting
Get better nameplates
so what kinda addons that makes a caster more visible
Threatplates, plater etc.
I dont know how to set it up so yeah thats also the reason lol
I think I have all the addons but I just dont know what to do with it
Start slowly and get yourself familiar with them, take some inspiration from others
Plenty of content on YouTube to walk you through setups
And work your way through
so why is bolster good with the wall, is anger management better with the wall?
Because block uptime
I think angermanagement is better with the wall
It's not
so that I can use the wall ever big pulls
You will lack block uptime when running AM
how long does bolster shield last?
16 seconds
On top of your block charges
that long?
sheeesh
All I know is you can get over 30 seconds of block
I might actually try running with bolster
so the wall acts like anger management and bolster for extra uptime block
Si
But you're gonna get clapped when you have nothing
sheeesh
Which is why bolster is the play with the wall
what if I have 3 leaps with bolster
No
No
Lol
its like a combination of kiting and heavy tanking
griffs afraid of progress smh
memes aside this is contradictory
best in both worlds
You dont need leaper to kite.....
You don't kite
whats the point of aving heavy defensives if you're just going to kite
Never lmao
more over you dont need to kite anymore - at least not to the point where u need to cover 60yds
Bounding stride gives you a leap every 30 seconds
when the stacks are going up
That's PLENTY
We back on this leaper talk again hotdamn
ez escape
just use the shield and stop caring
I mean 9 seconds of stacks are kinda dangerous
shameless ๐
So shameless I haven't even made a new video in over 2 months

A great weekly only key week
With the Tyranical nerfs Tyranical isn't that bad
In all honesty I'm not a fan of the inconsistency in general between weeks
I'd prefer trash to always be as tough as it should be week to week and same with bosses
wait so how do you maintain your aggro if you run too far to reset the stacks?
Ancient aftershock or kyrian spear is ez aggro
Idk ive never had any aggro issues like that so i couldnt tell you :/
You could challenging shout to gain a lot of aggro during it
But thats not really viable
spam HT when you see an add losing aggro and do all the aforementioned
that was my only problem, I just cant maintain my aggro everytime I want to reset my stacks
By dealing sufficient amount of dmg before you need to kite
maybe I should leave a ravager before I jump out
High key
If you're losing aggro when kiting to drop stacks
you're kiting way too early and for way too long
^
oh maybe thats it
I dont think initial aggro should be too hard as prot war; press revenge, ravager, Avatar
only ttime aggro should be even remotely close to an issue is at the start of a pull you're burning cds on
I mean, if my blood dk can hold aggro, you can to!
Is blood boil target capped?
Me too #shamelessselfplug
it is uncapped, but doesnt change the fact that blood dks hit like wet noodles
having DRW on pull does help, but damage output on blood is currently a issue; I believe they are lowest damage tank ATM
Yeah i was mostly just curious
maybe they should try getting a 10% aura buff
or maybe Ishould just record myself and post it on youtube so that you guys can point out my mistakes
Is PW second in Damage now?
They are up there; most tanks do pretty good damage (lets ignore Prot Paladin since they dont really tank)
agreed. ๐
VDH sigil great for initial aggro, Bears have low damage, but have some big damage CDs and uncapped thrash, Monks do dam, and War does dam
yooooo... this is amazing as a newer PW.
Bear needs ramp-up time, that's their biggest issue
But once they're rolling it's ๐
I think the only tank really struggling with aggro and damage is blood
I've found that completely. night and day threat gen between it and my VDH
their overall isnt bad
nvm what i said
but there is also very little gameplay you can do as blood to push your damage
the biggest thing is using blooddrinker on CD and thats only for ST
this is the best video content tbh
I really value videos like that one where the thought and reasoning behind skill usage and gameplay are explained. It's SUPER helpful.
Thanks I should really probably do another one I'm just not all in on reprisal yet
as in you're not sold on it, or not in the swing of using it perfectly yet?
i did one on reprisal griff your safe
I'm on a massive push right now to hit 60 just so I can get into L3 torghast to get the leggo so I don't have to wait or grind Corridors
Your goal is to stay in as long as you can and only leave when you need to and only as long as it takes to drop stacks or to get shield block back if you're getting pummeled
I'm not a fan of it, I could definitely be using it wrong but I feel way better with wall/bolster
I also have a weakaura that once I get to like 20 stacks, it tells my group that Im dipping the fuck out
might be helpful
so they know, hes ready to dip
Sup dudes, bear main here and looking to play another tank for fun. Canโt decide between kyrian or NF for warrior. Kinda leaning towards kyrian because NF is so saturated atm. What cov do u guys like to play?
Maybe that's the content I need so I can magically like reprisal

If I wasn't fury for raid I'd 100% say NF
both are great, neither will limit your ability to do content
so if youre leaning towards kyrian, go kyrian
Which does more dam? Lol
nf
People like NF, but a lot go Kyrian to fill dungeon buff
Thx for the info guys ๐
and cry necrotic weeks
Necrotic aint that bad
I'm currently doing a world tour of covenants
I honestly dont see the fuss about it
I find Necro fun, but I m planning on going back to kyr, my heals (disc) is kyrian and shes adamant about going venth
I m thinking about trying venthyr lol, at the start of the xpac I was like, I will never swap covs
i doubt it if u dont like it now u never will
You can have success in any cov as a Prot War; if you are running with a consistent group, I would recommend being the guy who fills a dungeon buff
thinking going going venthyr next, but I honestly really enjoy NF arms
battlelord feels amazing
Maybe, I just legit feel less tanky with reprisal
And obviously dislike the playstyle
@plush tendon I am now, just this week was able to break into the 18s with this consistent grp.
Like if pwar would be the least impacted by changing cov then I dont mind doing it
I think its better to always have DPS take their BiS cov then the tank and healer try to fill in what is missing if running with a group
Yeah, my heals is disc and we dont raid, our only issue is HoA, we've tried that keys with and without venthyr and not having the buff there makes it a lot more challenging, having it makes it a walk in the park
Having a Venthyr in the group is almost essential; I wouldnt step into HoA without a Venthyr and if you do SD you want a Venthyr and abuse those cannisters
especially with the update to how they function and their location
depends i play badly i feel about the same if i play well i feel very tanky
What are the best stats, I'm seeing a lot of people prioritize the until before the versa, do you have to reach a cap of some stat?
I know it's weird but I'm leveling a prot warrior (mechagnome, for more cringe) and I'm thinking of equipping it versa / crit with leggo reprisal, how do you see it? (rbg focus)
thanks in advance
haste/vers is usually the play, but you can replace vers with crit if you want damage.
nah vers is main stat in pvp, im thinkin in change haste per crit
maybe mix it up
but mainly crit thinkin
uhhhh that seems like a bad idea, but you do you
haste= lower CD SB, more GCDs for more rage, which means more dam and def
I honestly cant tell you; if you are gearing for RBGs then just do you.
kk
thanks 4 the info
a little disappointed with the copies of the mechagnome tbh lol
but the heal is nice
im angry
i got put as tank
dps*
because our paladin finally showed up
and ever since our pulls have only been worse
context
indeed
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/PrLvXtBHZ9fzJbgV#fight=last please roast my tank buddy โค๏ธ
plz dont
too late
but id appricate some pointer
Have you pointed out paladins dont actually tank?
i have pointed out that he is a moron
and our other tank agrees
and our raid agrees
but somehow
even while he refuses to show up 50% of raids
only 9 SW casts and 5 LS casts over 30 minutes ๐
he gets the tank spot
lots of rage wasted to overcapping
After tuesdays flaming of ppl who use ignore pain too much
Ive been trying to cut down
@wild sandal im sorry buddy โค๏ธ
hehehe, its all good
รฎ was looking at cow's log
ye ill watch over that more and the rage thing
he had a total of 24 IP casts in an entire dungeon
Ye i know

Just kidding
so i should do more IP or less?
More cd usage i think
You probably keep saving them thinking youll need them later on
biggest question tho did he condemn enough? 
And end up rarely using them
ye that is true
Revenge ftw
thanks for the pointers guys, cant wait to do another and get anther roast โค๏ธ
youre using it a lot on trash packs, which is not ideal
pump revenge in aoe
lightless > celestial is big balled
revenge>condemn on 3 targets
what do you use to pump your healing up ?
take more damage lol
From my logs i seems to be on the lower part
dont worry about self healing as prot
Accidentaly pulling with lighless is awesome
its a trap
your hps will look good if you just pump IP and take a fuckton of damage
ye will do , thanks again
its cause ur not revenging enough for indom ๐
oh yeah there is that thing
Seems funny that all the "healing" of the war prot is on the same talent row
Guys, I got 220 legs and 171 boots. Should i still craft Reprisal on legs and hope to get better boots soon or just get the boots now?
just do boots
@edgy void do you have access to mythic SLG legs?
no big difference
if not craft the legs you will get boots later
in the long run the legs are more stats
Nah. we still need to get by councel, inerva and sludge
Then just make the legs for sure
before i can get a chance at mythic slg
they should had something to destroy a leg and get back some souls ash if not everything
Oh you scrapped a 190 lego, here is 15 soul ash back
POG
Remember titan residum or whatnot
Maybe a little bit much ^^
the secret to leggos is understanding that 235 is a waste of resources unless you literally have nothing else to ash up
"Scrapped mythic Uldir peice - got 10 residium
You don't waste anything
but the cost of the 235
opprotunity
true
the upgrade from 225->235 is literally another legendary at like 210
since the jump doubles
or just under
so i should just craft a 225 one and not a 235
if you have nothing else you want to make theres no reason not to make a 235
but if you want multiple legendaries for different content
the gold
10 ilvls is not worth the loss of utility IMO
Obviously best case is just max all of them but again its time gated so u gotta make some decisions
Macro'd "I need Valor, try and keep up" as I pug +2s
throw that on Shield slam and have a good time
hey guys is there like a addon/weakaura that shows your blocked attacks income ? like in the middle of your screen
guys which dungeon do you guys hate the most?
seems like useless information... I bet its out there, but really you should be more worried about SB uptime rather then if you blocked a attack or not
mine is Necrotic Wake
De Other Side
SD, gaunlets part of the dungeon ๐ฆ
NW is just messed up lol
IDK, NW is pretty free now and much more enjoyable with the nerfs
HoA too those bears are just too op
thats where I got the idea of running with 3 leapos
Stun the loyal beasts?
sometimes its not enough
Ventyr > door of shadows kek & leap
intervene to range? or ask dps to help slow ๐ฎ
Soulshape > door of shadows
instant buffs your movement speed!
nah dps are always out of range
But dont waste the revenge proc if you do
you guys should try running with the 3 leaps its actually not that bad
all jokes aside
3 leaps seems like kiting overkill lol
all jokes aside yall should stop running its march kiting died in like early feb
just need to kite long enough to drop necrotic or dog bleeds these days
yeah exactly kiting, with 3 leaps you can do big pulls and use spear and leave ravager around the mobs to maintain aggro while you can just hop in and out repeat
I just did 3 big pulls like it wasnt a big deal at all
you still can but since there is gonna be like a lot of monsters hitting you, the stacks go up three times faster than a normal pull so you can just leave a ravager before you hop out so that you can still maintain the aggro
stacks reset and repeat
kyrian phial with kleia to stay in place for 8 seconds... big brain
I've said it before: just use the shield. Necrotic stacks barely affect us
i mean u dont need to kite till like 40-50 stacks anyways
yeah I have that too, I think it also depends on how good the dps but so far big pulls like what im doing rn takes awhile for us to clear it
so 3 leaps are actually good for this week idk you guys should definitely try it
you are also definitely losing a significant amount of damage by not being there to damage the mobs yourself
which might be part of why they're staying up for so long
i do around if not more damage in aoe than some classes now in pugs
so if i leave packs take a long time
I mean you can still do a lot of damage sicne you can leave your ravager while resetting the stacks
ravager doesnt do that much damage
Ravager isnt that much dmg honestly
so you rnot using spear with avatar
This seems like a lot of effort to be playing sub optimally
thats a yikes
Exactly
so basically this playstyle is hopping in and out
sounds shit to me
this also unfortunately definitely will not help you hold aggro on big packs unless you have like an md or tricks
Why do all this whrn you can just stay
sounds like VDH to me
I mean, you do you. But I wouldnt recommend anyone do this
double time talent is a must on thsi build too
Have 8 secs of SB for free and revenge procs
and it seems so is leapers so your leggo gives no offensive or defensive value against a boss
in tyran week
wait how is it not going to maintain my aggro
๐ค
I have ravager down and spear
Not really
Why hop out when you can ๐งฑ with Reprisal
What build?
because I dont have reprisal
Brawny, I often use leaper myself
You're not a DH you're a warrior
yeah exactly leaper is the new wave
Less ๐ช more ๐งฑ
im just saying you guys should try it
hes using leapers to hop in and out of pulls for some reasons ๐คท
i will never try this
Leaper isn't giving you anything for aggro
also I only have 8% versatility so that makes me vulnerable even more
because when you're pushing mythic+ that you can't actually tank, you have to do somethign else.
What key levels?
Ravager and Spear are not from leaper
hopping in and out with double time and 3 leapos legos is actually pretty good
vers means NOTHING unless your doing 24s +
...
Actually yeah Brawny what key levels are you talking about
14s
...
around there
....
What the fuck
ppl did 15s at 170
Okay, so...before this thing gets out of hand.
If you like to play Leaper - do it.
But it's by no means/necessary/optimal.
I did my first 15 in the low 200s?
@autumn ingot do try to farm up for reprisal, though. used to leap a lot, but with reprisal I find I can stay in.
If you feel like you're getting wrecked in a +14 and need to kite a lot please post logs and i'll be happy to help you out and get tankier.
โ๏ธ
obviously not every pull, though
how do I post logs
I can guarantee you that it's your playstyle that's forcing you to kite.
haven't tried this week, but I'm prepared to swap in my hoppin' boots depending on how things go
u dont need to kite this week really
we arent based of healing ourselves
just mitigation
Mwahi is awake, everybody hide your war machine and never surrender talent choices
can we pin that?
Not in this channel.
F
so what key level are you guys rn?
17/18s
I'm tryin' to get KSM
damn
^
If you feel like you want help you can also just stream a key for me and i can let you know what you are doing wrong on voice. ๐คท
But im just lazy
Most people don't like it tho since "But you're mean!! AND I KNOW BEST!!!"
But i know best
I got 16 key last two weeks ago but I blew it up because we were getting wipe a lot and samething with my 15 key Ireally thought I could get out of 14
Go back to Fury.
Roger

that was my only chance of reaching higher levels
i mean Mwahi knows best
Maybe some people enjoy being verbally abused by Mwahi
We only take 100% Prot spec only players here, sorry.
does anyone here doing 20+ keys?
mwahi
That is racist
Wait I can have Mwahi narrate my keys morgan freeman style?
But can't guarantee hell jist give you a meme build and say its his secret key timing build
I cant even imagine running 20+ mythic level
And 218 ilvl.
if mwahi told me to run MW i would consider it
๐
it seems impossible to time a 20+ key as a prot warrior
probably due to your playstyle
yeah I probably should farm my reprisal before hitting higher dungeons levels
Whats your comp?
I dont have a comp I just hop in LFG its basically whatever for me
I'd pay money for that. Maybe just enough for a burrito or two, but still, it's a good offer
I'll do it for free.
Nothing better than yelling at random people after a hard day at work.
Thats your issue imo @autumn ingot
๐
I admire your bravery
Once i got guildies and fun people
yeah nobody wants to run with me even my guildies just straight up ignoring me now
i pugged 17s/18s but i cba to put in the effort to go higher
I think its just because of my playstyle
@ionic fern you stream? can you shoot me a link
No.
When i think about pugging i get anxious just thinking about it
There are some streamers in #268491842637660160
i'll check them out
pugging is not that bad tbh
Atleast he pushes buttons good
Well that's rude
Accurate
But still rude
It'll get frustrating in higher keys where a missed kick = dead tank.
High keys arent fun though if you aint with the bois
high keys arent fun in general
but maybe that cause i dont have a group
Otherwise..no.
for me its difficult to find a solid group because of my playstyle
thats why nobody wants to run with me so maybe if I can change up my legendary that would also change my playstyle so everyone can run with me no problem
no dps likes trying to dps when mobs are constantly moving
Plka-(US) Emerald Dream, Venthyr Protection Warrior, Plaguefall 21 - 20 - 19 - 18 Epic Fails. Enjoy! (Ft. Ryfie, Blublublublu, Astrosparkles and Lillaregn).
Check this video out
because your leaping around
i have loot a 213 chest but i loose 80 versa for 80 mastery the second stat is critic
Im feeling like I wanna skip this week I have already done my first 14 key for vault so I can just farm up my torg and get reprisal
Still your best video btw @patent osprey
if its high ilvl its and upgrade
Should i use the 213 over the 200 one if i have only 12.5% vers?$
At least hes with the lads!
the upgrade is gonna cost a lot too which is bad
HAHAHA i was watching this yesterday
the actuall stream
i was like wtf when I opened it. then the vulpera reminded me
Honestly if you're looking to learn then start logging keys or even better..recording them. ๐
If people are willing to learn from their mistakes it won't take long to get better results. We just need to know what you're doing wrong and then we can work on fixing it.
gotta learn to take that constructive criticism
โ๏ธ
๐
yeah I did some runs and recorded them haha
Do you have them uploaded anywhere?
how can Plka see with that ui? does he play on a huge 40inch?
still better than the damn DK's!
ill post my recent run here, it was close and had a bunch of wipes but still got the timer lol
I was actually running with the wall and bolster
How do you all feel about the 60 days sub change?
?
The pricing for the purchase of both WoW subscriptions and WoW Tokens are not impacted here. Details and both of these options can be found here:
Subscriptions: https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/world-of-warcraft-subscription
WoW Tokens:
thats just a 2 months sub no?
ye, but u cant buy 30 days anymore
stealth price increase since 60 and 90 used to be better deals overall
^
and the best part when u get the free shit and use it you get salty whispers
oh hmm, this is unrelated to subs completely
so yeah, our six month subs are unaffected
hurray
youll just have to buy 2 tokens
or the toekn will be worth more money
hence more gold
wont change anything will still cost the same over 2 months
probably why they did it
tokens are like dirt freaking cheap
137k for 6 months
errrrr
1 month
so it will probs be 274k for 2 months
its literally the same price
well form what i would think anyway
i think you can still pop one token for 1 month
tokens already had a price hike built in
it's just for ppl that were buying game time a la carte, i think
niya or korayn for raids?
Anyone got a link for Plka s threat plates ? Also, just switched from prot pally to warrior, loving everything other then healing myself with bad healers
F that, venthyr baby!
You right, you right . But I pvp and fury Pve so@@@@
oh well im prot
Well yea, I am also
condemn's raw absorb isn't horrible ST and its cheaper than IP
also hits harder than Revenge
so its like a revenge + IP
at once.
for a discount
ya but like im going for raid surv right
The major drawback of condem nis its only available 40% of a fight
is that venth?
legs or boots for shield block lego?
thats Nightfae
Venthyr have a 10% DR under 40% health, or big mastery/big haste
Niya buffs your HP when you aftershock (and randomly from attacks)
but aftershock is basically an instant 12% heal
Venthyr has that take 10 percent less damage under 40 percent though which helps
not everything, but not nothing either.
yeah Nadjia is the play for Venth still IMO
the 10% DR is nice
but, all that haste
on a reliable timer.
if your doing raid surv and not draven thats a troll for sure
Wat?
No
Lol
Draven is basically not that worth it
You shouldn't be under 40% to begin with
And what you're ignoring is that the huge haste buff from Nadjia is not only reliable and nice for damage BUT ITS ALSO GOOD FOR SURVIVABILITY
I guess condemn is shit for survivability too
Amirite
is it better to keep shield blocks up or spam ignore pain more trying to get my defensive cds down better cause been messing around with my warrior
yes, while you're being punched, keep up shield block as much as possible,
Depends on the trash lol but if you can block it you block
yah like casters use ignore pain
I got bargast leash from a quest today, can that be good? probably not right ๐
Not very good no
Also only while getting hit
figured
No use blocking when everything is stunned
alright i get it now i just getting bored of always on my dh
so i went warrior and trying to get it down again
Not much different than DH
"Pressing buttons matters"
"not really different than slapping your face into your keyboard and healing while being immune to damage"
XD
I mean in terms of actual use of mitigation
DH is literally prot slapped together with DK and some other stuff
Be VDH: Forget to use mitigation, be super tanky anyway
Actually I kid, they do have to press buttons
its just that their button press is like 5 of ours at once
Be DH get nerfed because you were over performing due to a bug

Bonesmith is probably the straight up best for survival, as it gives you healers 10s to react and get a brez ready
eh, they'll still be super strong
I mean losing 15% magic DR is huge
Yeah it would be if it actually happened. Iโll believe it when I see it
have they been nerfed?
No.
i mean they nerfed thunder clap hard in bfa
What does that say about everyone else's spec lol
when warriors were the go to tanks in m+
like the WW and MM bugfixes were part of a larger tuning pass
We were still go to after the nerf to UF
We were watching some of your top tier content
Just simply because we could block basically everything
And we still did big dam
And it was just an actually genuinely fun and well designed spec....
yah right now i think pallys are the 2nd go too cause of their damage output right
Also, spell reflect was super powerful in BFA
been wondering, wouldn't banner allow two dps to potentially not remove stacks on sire? and is it worth it for mythic?
Phase 1 stacks? Doubt its worth to bring it just for that
yeah
dude, that PF video i made, took me the longest! It wasn't the most viewed, but it is still my fav video to date.
I honestly learned to play PF really really well after making that vid haha
PLKA, can I get a link to your threat plates? Love em
they have to be in melee range, and paladins are basically made from wet cardboard
the only thing pally has to be in melee range to use is hammer of the righteous
Hey man! Sorry the plater profile was made by a friend that specifically asked me to not publicly share it cause they put alot of hours of work into it >.< I had it shared before... and they yelled at me T_T
and you can get aroudn that with blessed hammer
other than that you have better range to do damage than any other tank
J/AS/HoW are all 30 yds, SotR is extended via bulwark legendary
Hey no problem, tell them they did a great job!
So mastery really only gets good at unattainable levels of master, doesn't it?
like it starts crap, and gradually gets better, but we can't make it to where it's good
40% mastery gives 40% critical block chance.
We'd have to be at 70+ before it's reliable enough for bossfights
big groups it's basically a strait reduction in melee damage because that's how probabilities work, but even then it's only 30% (DR) of the 40% (chance), since we were already blocking 30% of the damage.
dammit, I miss legion
uhhh sure?
also, why'd you take my reforgers? I've got 25% mastery to reforge...
No?
Mastery is good regardless?
Bigger question, my friend was able to Tmog Stromgar as his weapon while in prot, so hes wielding a 2h even though hes prot
How does one accomplish this
Mastery is good in general, none of our stats are a "only worth it at a certain breakpoint" stats
It worked literally the same way in Legion
You got more crit block% chance in legion
The only difference is you had one CD that could force crit blocks
I think more per mastery
I'm gonna go with a nope
My memory is faulty, but I thought I had a 70% crit block chance in legion
And even if it did Legion warrior isn't anything like BFA or SL
That sounds very faulty
critical block is not a 30% DR over regular block, it is a 50% DR
uh math wrong
Up to*
but idea right
crit block is blocks twice the normal block amount
^
up to 85% dr?
if you block 30%
i think?
Yea
normal blocks are ~30%, ya?
depends
so crit blocks are ~60%, ya?
with a 220 shield in a mythic dungeon its roughly 30% dr
if a normal block is ~30%, then you take 57% of the damage of a blocked hit when you crit block
e.g. comparing during shield block
wait wait wait, it COMPOUNDS
all DR works like that
so for m+ assuming 226 is 1628 block, your default block DR % is 40%
it gets relatively stronger the more of it you have
seems like it'd be way better used for dps in p2?
this is most obvious if you compare going from 99 to 100% damage reduction vs 0% to 1%
adding DR is huge
multiplying DR is not
but block and crit block are treated differently?
I would have guessed a crit block just doubled the block number
If you would regularly block 40% it bumps to 80%
so then where'd the 57% come from? why not 60?
because I was comparing being at 70% dmg taken to 40% dmg taken1
in something like shield block
but if you look at damage remaining, you are reducing that by more than 30%
??
yes
This is super simple
You're making it way too complex
You block
You then roll for crit block
I'm hit for 100 damage unblocked
If you crit block you block double the % youd normally
what ~~griff ~~ @toxic otter was saying is that 40/70 = 57%. I only take 57% of the damage that was left after I had already blocked
That's not what I said?
????????
At all
that was me
oh sorry
fixed
that said, I don't usually take a "damage remaining" perspective on things
lets say block is 30% dr
Leave it at that
whether or not it makes sense to do so depends on whether or not you have high chance to block
I'm trying to figure out why mastery isn't the most important stat now that we have reprisal
Wrong
a crit block is then twice that, which is 60%
that's my point - the baseline to compare to is not the unmitigated hit, it's the blocked hit
so a crit block is not a 30% DR gain
it's a 43% DR gain
and haste is more rage/cdr on everything

Bro you're making this way more complex than it needs to be lol
but if you tank a group of 6, the probabilities even out (because you're taking so many hits). the more enemies you face, the closer to a true DR it becomes
that is absolutely how you should compare dr though
you can't say 'it's 30%!'
it's so inaccurate
never said 'it's 30%!' 
well then what's the problem
not sure
magnus did seem to suggest he didn't want to look at it like that
it's the same thing as vers getting better defensively the more you have of it and whatever else like that
Nothing against him
it matters how much dr you had from the same effect already
But it's really as simple as it sounds
And partially part of why we don't stack it very hard is because you already have access to big mastery procs btw
It's a perspective thing. You can look at it like this:
- 100 damage hit, 70 damage blocked hit, 40 damage crit blocked hit. saves 30 damage from being taken.
- block reduces by 30%, crit block reduces an additional 42% (compounded)
- block reduces by 30%, crit block reduces an additional 30%(stacked)
it's not a perspective thing
wait what
what do you mean bigger mastery procs, @chilly brook ?
pelagos/niya conduits
math doesn't have perspectives
math does have perspectives
Hi there, why is demoralizing shout 30 second cd for me instead of 45?
pvp talent
that's why we can solve problems by different approaches, all equally correct.
Those approaches should conclude the same tho, which it doesnt look like to me (i am also bad at math)
it doesn't matter whether you take the derivative of your displacement or the integral of your acceleration, you get velocity all the same.
Yes, all of these approaches reach the same result
because I critically block, I took 30 less damage
what you compare that to is what determines the % DR, and I'm trying to clarify that @toxic otter is comparing it to something different than @chilly brook
alright you guys here is my recent run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbZ8rQaeFHQ
Affix Week
Tyrannical, Inspiring, Necrotic, and Prideful
The Wall / Bolster
i like the title
let me know what needs to be fix lmao
What did you mean by "big mastery procs"? I'm not aware of a way to pump our mastery up.
pelagos/niya conduits
Erga already said, pepegos and niya
well, off the top of my head...stop charging through green goo!
@autumn ingot i can see directly on the first boss that you shouldve charged in instead of running in and probably ravaged on pull
what happened is that you jumped in and TCd which isnt enough to hold aggro
I need lunch before I go workout what do I get? Chipotle?
oh okay
youre also only 204 ilvl which is gonna be a factor as well
don't use the third kyrian soulbind it's bad for tanks because of all the knockbacks
I didnt know the mechanics so I was just doing whatever lol
as well as having low haste
THIS! I used to think that was like the auto OMG tons of threat, but it isn't...
Ravager > charge > revenge > tc usually does the trick
so more haste okay
isn't it charge>ravage>revenge?
Pre ravage saves a global
makes sense
so ravager charge then revenge tc
also @autumn ingot from seeing how you entered the first pack after 1st boss you should revenge more often
as well as pre-ravaging
its fine to kyrian spear in the beginning for it
yeah I keep pressing 7 which is my bind for whirlwind but I was actually trying to press 6 which is the revenge binding
ah
I have the conduits for revenge and tc
also you never really need to use Hamstring like, at all
Idk why I still keep my whirlwind it shouldnt be in there lol
yeah take that off, literally no use
i wondered why his hamstring was on there
I use it in spiteful weeks
haha I keep it for extra heal
But that's it
if you're accidentally hitting other buttons a lot, might be worth finding some alternate keybinds it's easier to hit
need to charge more also, walking into mobs leaves you down a bit
yeah I probably should change my keybinds a bit
do you have your spear and ravage on keybind at cursor?
is that a stam flask? better off with power
if not, get that done
- Charge into packs.
2)Use Ravager/Spear on CD
3)You are overlaping SW/SB a lot..you are on full health and you're popping both of them (check 4:50)
4)You're rage capping - use IP to prevent this as it's not on GCD.
5)Why are you randomly using SR?
ANd this is from the first 5 minutes of the video.
yeah indomitable heals you for every 10 rage
๐
why no dbm or bigwigs?
@autumn ingot last thing im gonna say cus i g2g but also trying to plan ahead is a good thing. When you kill the pride at 6:45 you use both ravager and spear of bastion - something that could be useful for the AOE burst in the next pack

oh okay, yeah will do thanks goodstuffe
man I should really be listing all of this down huh
@autumn ingot gotta say good on you for posting a video and asking for feedback
oh damn, niya's mastery does factor in to the +, which means it hits DR
yeah its more of an experience thing tbh
i'm noticing shield slam is available a lot, that should be higher priority for you, especially if you're still running The Wall
at 6:10 when the boss charged away, if you are fast enough you could of intervened and got a free revenge
o, he doesn't have reprisal
never mind what i said then
yeah I mean I will do everything to get better lol I just wanna get my upgrade
heroic throw at 6:25? just to add dps?
what is SR again?
Don't laugh at the sick Heroic Throw damage
Gotta take what you can get when out of range.
๐
oh haha
lol
I dont actually know where to use my spell reflection so I kinda just press it
Vs magic damage.
when you see a enemy cast
Reaping scythe on last boss
Here are boss abilities
There is a spreadsheet and a weakaura that can tell you which spells or abilities you can reflect.
OOOO, when doing DoS you can spell reflect Muezhuellas fist thingy
Big damage
so its kinda like the opposite of the pummel
Reaping Scythe on the last boss is huge.
And in general targeted abilities that are casted on you can also be reflected.
No, since not all are interruptable.
oh right, so you only use sr if the cast was on red
can i get that weakaura for the SR
