You can dancing rune to bone cap like a true chadwick

uneven mason
#

oh my god that new lego

#

rather the improvemnts to CRW

#

pure squee

hot oxide
#

The DR every minute?

chilly brook
#

Death strike healing is entirely based on damage intake, if you pop defensives when you dont actually need them to survive you're negatively impacting your rune/rp economy

uneven mason
#

its reprisal for BDKs

hot oxide
chilly brook
#

This is why Blood is realistically the highest skill cap tank

cinder nova
#

Seems like DK is one of the more thought-intensive tanks

copper lava
chilly brook
#

Blood isn't "reactive"

#

You have to know what's going on

#

And plan accordingly

restive wigeon
#

is there a restriction to how often you can change covenants? I'm necro atm and I have like 10k anima in my venthyr bottle, can I go venthyr, grab that and instantly swap to kyrian?

uneven mason
#

Its reactive in how it deals with damage, but its not just "fly by the seat of my pants"

#

you have to pre plan resources

#

but you use them in reaction to what happens

chilly brook
#

Mistakes you make 7-9 globals before your death actually cause your death

uneven mason
#

☝️ sounds like 8.0 prot

flint roost
#

Its the transition from solo questing to tanking as bdk. Taking deathstrike out of a dps rotation and saving it for spike dmg

hot oxide
restive wigeon
#

you buy items for it and sell them at your new covenant

#

xd

restive wigeon
#

did that on my last swap as well

hot oxide
soft lotus
#

Hi. Do holy palas benefit from our AP shout when they do dps? E.g. how important is it to buff a combat ressed holy pala?

uneven mason
#

yes

copper lava
chilly brook
#

Probably not

uneven mason
#

wait

#

holy, no

#

they're sp

cinder nova
uneven mason
#

thought it said prot

cinder nova
#

Am I missing something

hot oxide
#

Thinking of making my DK frost

uneven mason
restive wigeon
cinder nova
#

Buying at one covenant and selling at another?

uneven mason
restive wigeon
#

ye that way you "convert" your anima storage to your new covenant

uneven mason
#

and it fills the new bank

cinder nova
#

Bruh

#

I feel so cheated

#

I had like 5K in my bank

uneven mason
#

right

restive wigeon
#

thats why i wanna go venthyr for 5 mins

uneven mason
#

yeah my Kyrian bank had like 5500 whe NI went venth

restive wigeon
#

grab my anima

#

and go kyrian

uneven mason
#

and didn't think of it

restive wigeon
#

but im not sure if its possible to change instantly again

#

is it?

uneven mason
#

to go back

#

no

restive wigeon
#

like im necro rn

hot oxide
restive wigeon
#

I wanna go venthyr, grab my anima, and sell them at the kyrians

#

but I have been kyrian before

uneven mason
#

not gonna be that esy

hot oxide
restive wigeon
#

they love me

#

I was their strongest

#

they shall acceptt me

hot oxide
#

They like your abilities in battle, as a person they hate you

restive wigeon
#

big tru

#

they only value my might

#

but its only 1 quest?

hot oxide
#

They’re like “man, that 1 person could kick ass, but he was a Dick so f him”.

#

Not sure, i just know it’s a quest. Never done it myself.

restive wigeon
#

the venthyr sure fucking hate me as well

#

ditched them months ago

mighty valley
#

yeah we still talk about you at sinfall

#

what a piece of shit, leaving us behind like that

restive wigeon
#

damn man im still hiding from dravens sight in oribos

cinder nova
#

Yeah I hate the way they made Covenants so restrictive

#

Makes no sense.

#

Imagine the afterlife really being that juvenile

restive wigeon
#

do you have to do both "prove your worth" quests before you can enter your rejoined covenants sanctum again?

sweet summit
#

yeah

restive wigeon
#

so if I buy stuff for anima and I want to sell it at a rejoined covenant i have 2 hours to complete both quests

#

should be easy if I spam heroics tho

#

do I have to complete the first quest before the weekly reset to get the second one?

#

or just have it accepted

cinder storm
restive wigeon
#

how long do you think the first quest takes me

#

I spam stomp heroics

#

if I*

cinder storm
#

what cov you are trying to swap to?

hot oxide
restive wigeon
#

how exactly?

hot oxide
#

You do 1 quest for loyalty

#

Then another for forgiveness

restive wigeon
#

ye from what ive read now its 2 times the exact same quest

hot oxide
#

Yup

restive wigeon
#

im planning on buying stuff for anima > doing the swap > completing first quest > instantly accept second quest on reset > complete that one > sell anima stuff at new covenant

hot oxide
#

Time gated. So you can’t get the 2nd quest till reset and if you don’t finish the 1st quest in time, goes wait

restive wigeon
#

so I will probably swap like 1 hour before weekly reset

#

and blast the first quest

cinder storm
#

There is a npc you can farm in bastion if you are planning on going kyrian

restive wigeon
#

I will have to go venthyr first because theres a chunk of anima in that storage that i need

#

and the week following that ill do the same shit and rejoin kyrian

#

im just tryna calculate how long I need to complete the first quest

#

each heroic dungeon boss kill is worth 12% of the bar

cinder storm
#

the kyrian farm takes about an hour or so

rough vine
#

so, what are the hot covenants now for Prot and/or Fury? Is there one I could take that would be good for both? Looking at doing M+ more than raiding I think.

restive wigeon
#

realistically theres no way I need an hour to fill the bar if I spam heroics on prot

vestal moat
#

NF is the hottest in my opinion right now.

restive wigeon
#

its more like 2 and a half dungeons

cinder nova
#

NF

copper lava
wintry jetty
#

2 dungeons + a wq is enough for the quest

north rampart
#

Have wq 9/10 complete before switching?

tranquil turtle
#

Even after reading I can't really decide. Would you guys craft the wall or reprisal for general play? this is my first warrior/prot warrior.

restive wigeon
#

reprisal for m+ / wall for raids

#

if youre doing both probably the wall

#

reprisal doesnt really have value in raids whereas the wall has some value in m+

mighty valley
#

people are making reprisal work in raids... I'm too lazy rn though

#

also haven't found replacements for my wall shoulders yet, so my choices are wall with 226 legs or reprisal with 210 shoulders

copper lava
mighty valley
#

i'd still give the edge to wall when progging in any case probably, if dying is any kind of concern

slim pier
#

Nice buffs

floral pewter
latent oriole
#

Lolwut. I would hope they mean "all tanks except warrior"

slim pier
#

What do you mean

#

This isn’t a damage nerf, it’s a damage reduction buff for all tanks

floral pewter
#

it's a 10% reduction to damage taken, not to our damage dealt

amber herald
#

prot warr is going to be giga tanky

cinder skiff
#

This also means 9.1 is far off

astral crystal
#

wait does this mean vanguard gets 110%?

#

or is it a flat 10% aura?

solemn magnet
#

so DH another 10% better, got it

floral pewter
#

VDH doesn't get the 10% buff

wind surge
#

oh I thought it was 10% less dmg dealt

cinder skiff
#

No doubt get 5% the rest get 10%

sweet summit
#

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

astral crystal
#

it's 10% less dmg taken

cinder skiff
#

No DH

latent oriole
#

Oh I thought damage dealt

cinder skiff
#

Not doubt

floral pewter
#

VDH get 5% extra mitigation, and loses the magic damage reduction bug

amber herald
#

it says "to the effect" so who knows what it'll be

#

if they slap a 10% damage reduction buff to vanguard that'd be hilarious

#

wait no I read it wrong

#

they are doing that lmao

torn gust
#

fuck yeah prot warrior op again :y

flint roost
#

10% allows for what...3 more keys? Heh

floral pewter
#

I feel like this is probably most beneficial to prot paladin, since they struggle the most with mitigation

#

but making us unkillable while also having high damage now will be great

torn gust
#

^

floral pewter
#

VDH meta bye, prot/prot meta hello

flint roost
#

Bdk will smooth out a bit as well

mighty valley
#

I think other classes will catch up a little but I don't think people are just gonna toss their VDHs

#

maybe some FOTM swappers will go back to their original tanks

torn gust
#

very true

amber herald
#

VDH won't be dethroned until dps meta changes

fresh belfry
#

VDH is shit dps tho

#

oh you mean

#

dps classes

#

(:

amber herald
#

yeah because of chaos brand

#

5% more dmg for boomies and fire mage is a lot

hollow silo
#

Is warrior meta now do I reroll

sweet summit
#

if you believe hard enough deswind

flint roost
#

Everyone should have a warr ready at all times

hollow silo
#

I just want to beat plka on rio

sweet summit
#

how high is your warrior rn?

fresh belfry
#

swapping back and forth between VDH and prot warr discord

#

good laughs

sweet summit
#

what are they saying peepostudy

signal plover
#

that our pp smol

#

but rly THEIR pp smol

sweet summit
chilly brook
#

Fucking poggers

#

We gonna be invincible to melee now bois kappa

lucid bough
#

not kapa thou

chilly brook
#

I mean we'll still take damage

maiden ravine
#

If they buff thick skin on druids, I'm gonna slap on oath to have flat 28% DR haha

chilly brook
#

It's a welcome buff though to all the tanks

#

Like very welcome

maiden ravine
#

I may actually play my warrior again

dense flame
chilly brook
#

Cant believe it took them this long though to do it

amber herald
#

what's oath?

signal plover
#

imagine quitting warrior like a coward

fresh belfry
#

for raids its giga boring

#

i hope next tier wont be undertuned

maiden ravine
#

oath is a druid legendary that buffs your affinity passives and grants you heart of the wild for a bit when you shift into your affinity form every 60 seconds

sweet summit
#

i dont tank raids, but this raid was sleep til sire right?

maiden ravine
#

it buffs the passives by 75% which is why it'll be silly if they buff druid's passive 6% dr to 16%

fresh belfry
#

i mean it did slap harder on tanks than in bfa

#

significantly

#

but i think that was a good thing

#

SLG prenerf and sludgefist undergeared also slapped

amber herald
#

I don't get it

#

unless you're getting the guardian affinity buff in guardian?

simple stump
#

Aight so is it prot or guardian that's bis now

#

Hit me with it

sweet summit
#

vdh still i guess

fresh belfry
#

^

sweet summit
#

hard to predict the future

#

but thats my guess

fresh belfry
#

vdh isnt dominating dungeon meta because they take so little damage lol

#

cant facetank anyway

#

and magic damage taken is giga low in dungeons

deft copper
#

dang the DH disc is kinda salty

fresh belfry
#

yeah its giga fun

elfin nova
#

there's one guy POPPING OFF

deft copper
#

One guy said in what way are they overperforming

#

kiting

#

thats where

deep steppe
#

I mean VDH is flavor of the month, gotta expect some fools in that disc keksquad

topaz ember
#

prot warrior new meta is my guess 🙂 just got to believe hard enough

#

and it will come true

vestal vault
#

I like that they did it in a necrotic week

blazing condor
#

honestly they do be kiting well

sweet summit
#

its not live til next reset

deft copper
#

next reset

remote tusk
#

Unluck.

blazing condor
#

next week is gonna be such a push week

flint roost
#

Small bet. Next raid is heavy magic dmg and we get bdk meta

deft copper
#

not well they're doing it heads and shoulders above the other tanks

#

calling the prot/prot meta

remote tusk
#

So Demonic Wards will reduce Physical Damage taken by 20% and Magical Damage taken by 5% in the change?

#

Or am I reading it wrong

signal plover
#

calling the continuation of the "every tank will be fine" meta

deft copper
#

Well, yeah

#

but that's boring

signal plover
#

truth usually is

deft copper
#

gimme that spicy arms warrior off tank meta

fast wyvern
#

Guardians were tanky as shit anyway

floral pewter
daring bay
#

How is prot dmg wise? compared to other tanks

#

in m+ ofc :)

grand drum
#

📈

#

honestly idk but its pretty high compared to my bdk lol

daring bay
#

Well, my 190 holypriest do more dmg than bdk :)

chilly brook
signal plover
#

i've enjoyed this tier as a tank tbh

chilly brook
#

Like maybe not the most mechanically involved but stuff actually hurts

#

Sludge enrage actually kinda scares me

fresh belfry
#

except for kiting general kaal to avoid bleeds

#

that sucked

signal plover
#

is also very satisfying to execute blocks well on sludge tho

chilly brook
#

But I mean also not my job to worry about myself outside of making sure I'm popping mitigation

elfin nova
#

sludge was not really that hard to live but he still hits harder than like every boss in nyalotha combined

chilly brook
#

Just once you hit the 35% you kinda pucker a little

signal plover
#

30 but yeh

elfin nova
#

and ye he does hurt in enrage

ancient fractal
#

hi

#

what does condemn feel like to play with as prot?

surreal sinew
#

fien in raids

#

not so in keys

mighty valley
#

Cool and powerful on bosses, non-existent on big m+ pulls

surreal sinew
#

☝️

#

you'll do fine with it though

maiden ravine
#

I like it on bosses in dungeons

#

satisfying thunks

mighty valley
#

yeah it's pretty good on tyrannical weeks

ancient fractal
#

I'm just not sure if to drop necrolord for it, I'm addicted to that thick absorb with damage mitigation, I like the self sustain

mighty valley
#

why would you switch if you like necrolord?

surreal sinew
#

☝️

ancient fractal
#

it's the mog

#

necrolord plate mog's just not as cool

#

and I already have other chars on necro so I feel like fleshcraft gonna get old eventually

#

I wish cov switching was as easy as threads of fate, that would've been cool

distant crystal
#

just give it a cooldown

#

like you can cov switch no strings every week or something

ancient fractal
#

I just switched, takes a quest + another one after reset

distant crystal
#

that's the second switch right

#

like you switched back to one you'd left before

sweet summit
#

thats switching back yeah

ancient fractal
#

yes

#

new is instant

soft lotus
#

Hi, I'm only ilvl 190, but I'm having a few empty GCDs with devastator. Am I doing something crazy wrong? Or is that okay? Does it get better with haste or something?

surreal sinew
#

yeah it's ok, haste will fix it

soft lotus
#

would i be better off going war machine or punish and switching to devastator later?

surreal sinew
#

no most probably not

soft lotus
#

alright, thanks!

sweet summit
#

youll have dead gcds with devastator

#

thats just a thing

latent oriole
#

Isn't it technically better to take devastator though

#

If you can manage to robotically work it in the way it's supposed to be done

#

Er NOT to take it, rather I mean

limpid burrow
#

Did you check tank dmg reduce tuning

#

Pretty insane

sweet summit
#

devastator is the optimal talent choice on that row

#

yeah looks like a solid change

#

a step in the right direction

topaz ember
#

would you say it would be devastating not to take it?

sweet summit
latent oriole
#

I think you could prob devastate if you worked it into rotation

sweet summit
#

we know where it is in the rotation

#

at the very bottom

compact palm
#

It exists to reset slam

#

That is all

#

U could swap to a 2h and auto for more dmg then it does

steep condor
#

shuld i be using bolster rather than anger managment during necrotic week?

sweet summit
#

id still play AM tbh

steep condor
#

ok thx

sweet summit
#

only thing id change was to go to kleia instead of pelagos if i were kyrian

steep condor
#

how many stacks of necrotic before you run for the hills?

sweet summit
#

depends on a lot of things

steep condor
#

im venth

warm silo
#

depends on alot yeah

#

if you arent gonna take dmg, there is no need

sweet summit
#

so am i

warm silo
#

how do you like venthyr prot?

sweet summit
#

kiting during necrotic depends on:
your current hp
pack hp
cooldowns/externals available
which mobs youre fighing
etc

steep condor
#

this is my first day of prot so ill let erga answer that

#

erga hmm ok 🤯

sweet summit
#

venthyrs good fun

#

but its clearly the weakest option in aoe

warm silo
#

basically it depends alot on the dmg ur gonna take and if you can handle with necrotic or not

sweet summit
#

which kinda sucks

warm silo
#

yeah when do you even use condemn

sweet summit
#

but i do respectable damage on prides and bosses

#

prides and bosses

#

lol

warm silo
#

haha

#

but you have to sac defense no?

sweet summit
#

eh

#

kinda

warm silo
#

or do u only press if you have spare rage

sweet summit
#

its a bit weaker than IP

#

but its so close doesnt really matter

#

when u can condemn u just ignore IP and use condemn on ST

warm silo
#

yeah i guess

#

im fae atm, cuz i wanna play fury aswell

#

but everyone tells me to go kyrian

#

not sure if i wanna

sweet summit
#

NF is more damage

#

kyrian has phial

warm silo
#

yeah for sure

sweet summit
#

thats the tradeoff

#

really close

warm silo
#

aftershock is nice for pugs tbh

#

just for random stops

sweet summit
#

for sure

daring marlin
#

Kyrian is nice in M+ for the buffs too

warm silo
#

yeah ofc

daring marlin
#

Since so few actually go Kyrian

warm silo
#

not alot of other classes are kyrian

#

ye exactly

daring marlin
#

Usually falls on the tank

sweet summit
#

and theres that

warm silo
#

except some hpals and ww monks

#

a few rogues i guess and a few hunters

daring marlin
#

That's pretty much it lol

warm silo
#

im seeing more hunters going kyrian

#

not sure if its just for fun

daring marlin
#

The 1 min build slaps

finite orbit
#

Ret pally can go kyrian

sweet summit
#

hunters do for pvp

warm silo
#

true

daring marlin
#

Especially after spirits nerf

finite orbit
#

Not as common as venth tho

warm silo
#

wait

#

are more ret pallys going venthyr than kyrian?

#

i thought kyrian was better

finite orbit
#

I mean venthyr is generally better for raid, but a lot have switched for reclear

daring marlin
#

There are more Kyrian rets than Venthyr now I think

#

Especially in keys

finite orbit
#

Yeah

#

I want kyrian on my pally for that reason

daring marlin
#

Also the final verdict buff was massive

finite orbit
#

^

warm silo
#

for pally id go venthyr though

#

to play holy i think

daring marlin
#

Hollow sucks for ret compared to prot and holy

finite orbit
#

Ashen hollow is kinda monkaw in keys

#

For holy

#

Just since divine toll is super good

daring marlin
#

Hpal would prolly do more damage in ashen than the ret LETSGOOO

finite orbit
#

The damage is really good tho

#

They’d probably do about the same tbh

#

Which is a bummer for ret

warm silo
#

i mean seeing like ellesmere etc

#

on some bosses and prides

#

with hollow

#

is nuts

finite orbit
#

True

#

If you’ve got a group that plays around it

#

It’s really good

warm silo
#

yeah

celest chasm
#

Yo that aura Dr tho????

strong forum
#

Stonks 📈

celest chasm
#

That's gonna feel so nice

lilac quail
#

Are there active mitigation checks in shadowlands, or was that just Legion?

sweet summit
#

i have no idea what that is so i dont think its been a thing since legion

lilac quail
#

there used to be boss abilities that did fkloads of damage to the tank if they didn't have their class specific Active Mitigation ability up - shield block for warriors

strong forum
#

It was only a legion thing

sweet summit
#

oh so just like every single attack

strong forum
#

Has been entirely removed

sweet summit
lilac quail
#

well there's ya problem blizzard

#

tank damage is so high because you keep Hazzikostas around

marsh aurora
#

i ran a 14 mists and i got fucking destroyed by every pack, my health is dropping low 24/7

sweet summit
#

👀

marsh aurora
#

and i can't tell if i'm doing smth wrong

sweet summit
#

link logs

waxen cradle
#

Ok guys yet another freaking DoS run and no Scale trinket... I am reeeing pretty hard now trying to get that trinket

sweet summit
#

you 100% are

marsh aurora
#

will link

lilac quail
#

were you getting out of necro?

marsh aurora
#

huuuh at 30 stacks i started considering

#

running

#

but with 205 ilvl, probably not my best move

lilac quail
#

it reduces healing taken

marsh aurora
#

yeah

#

i know it does

#

but like

#

i thought i could smooth sail it as this is an alt

torn stump
#

using battle master conq trink until i get scale

marsh aurora
#

we still went +2 but like damn

torn stump
#

100k hp ez

marsh aurora
#

uploading log atm maybe you can help cause that felt wrong and i know i'm doing A LOT of things wrong

sweet summit
#

ill have a look bud

marsh aurora
#

wait my log file reseted

#

what

sweet summit
marsh aurora
#

there it is

#

my key so i took big guys to carry me, i didn't think they'd carry THAT much

i was an absolute weight

Show of force vs ashen jug for second potency conduit as kyr

lofty widget
#

SoF m+, ashen for raid

mighty valley
#

hmmmmmm you overcapped 1000 rage, you could be throwing on more IPs if you're getting trucked

quasi marlin
#

is Necrolord best for prot warriors now?

mighty valley
#

if i'm reading this right

mighty valley
feral remnant
#

In terms of dps, whats the state of prot warriors in m+?

marsh aurora
#

good dps and high aoe burst

#

single target is meh

steep condor
#

vampire life ftw

torn stump
#

huge condooms on bosses

steep condor
#

misread that ><

#

so day 1 of tanking is an emotional rollercoaster. From the high of soloing torghst as my first prot warrior activity to the lows of failing +5 keys and getting flamed to the highes of 3 chesting a 7 pf.. all in just a few hours.

#

seems to me tanking is more about how well the DPS and healer do than what the tank ddoes 🙂

#

when the dps was strong tanking felt easy and fun.. when they were poor it was horrible... getting necrotic stacks and just praying stuff dies.

sweet summit
# marsh aurora there it is

your blocked hits are solid mate deswind
should try to dodge tongue lashing, its a frontal so just walk back out of it. it hurts a lot
you can spell reflect soul rip, sync the cast with a shockwave like ~3 seconds into the pull ish then hit spell reflect 📈
you wasted A FUCKTON of rage. use ignore pain as a rage dump to avoid overcapping

#

Fueled by Violence is pretty fucking shit, i recommend getting/using Unnerving Focus instead of that

#

Kleia with Ascended Phial is great during Necrotic weeks

marsh aurora
#

i got unnerving focus right after that run

#

and i still don't have SoF

sweet summit
#

SoF is a very small damage increase, dont stress it

#

1% on ST and like 2-3% in AoE

marsh aurora
#

well i need DoS for a scale i can upgrade to 220 without wasting my valor cap anyways so

gentle notch
#

I got mine after 35 runs dont give up!

#

It had avoidance so it was worth

marsh aurora
#

do you spam victory rush in m+ btw ?

sweet summit
#

if you can cast it and you dont have full HP, why not

#

free heal

gentle notch
#

I remember being immortal on last boss of underrot, each of the orbs counted as a KB so you could just victory rush every other global

sweet summit
#

lmao yeah

#

remember when explosive orbs triggered victory rush? good times

marsh aurora
#

so i guess i should focus on getting gear and dumping rage

sweet summit
#

yeah, never overcap rage. especially with anger management

marsh aurora
#

well i'm not really doing it on purpose ahahah

#

it's more like i'm focusing on 20 things and i forgot rage for a few secs

sweet summit
#

happens

#

just gotta get used to the spec i guess

marsh aurora
#

yeup will do

#

thx a lot 😄

sweet summit
#

no worries

#

hope to see you around peepoHappy

marsh aurora
#

heh you'll, rerolled to tank so i'm gonna be bothering you for a while

hot oxide
#

So new tank buffs

wooden radish
#

@ionic fern how good is prot warrior now with this buff? are they the best tank

hot oxide
#

10% across the board, but VDH isn’t clear

#

Is it 15% loss then add 5% or just nerf them by 10%?

sweet summit
#

i think so yeah

charred osprey
#

Its nerf by 10% without fixing the bug

#

I believe

#

I think this will make bears extremly strong in m+. Like we gonna start going away from kiting meta

mystic ridge
#

Bears can already facetank gigapulls during incarn

hot oxide
#

They did say they wanted to get away from the current meta in mythic

daring bay
#

well, who dosnt

hot oxide
#

We also want to address feedback that we’ve heard about overall tank survivability in Shadowlands, especially in Mythic Keystone dungeons.

#

With this 10% buff to over all dmg

#

Kitting might be a 25+ mythic

#

Is it a hot fix or restart buff?

mighty valley
#

going live with reset

gentle oak
#

I don't like this change

mighty valley
gentle oak
#

tanking is about getting hit like a madman and having resiliance and smarts to outplay it

#

10% more physical reduction means it will be expected of tanks to go dps trinkets

sweet summit
#

🤔

compact palm
#

Debatable

hot oxide
compact palm
#

10% doesn't mean u can suddenly facetank 15s

sweet summit
#

you can currently facetank 15s

compact palm
#

If u pull small

hot oxide
gentle oak
#

this is a lazy approach by blizzard, they'd need to rework tanks to have a proper tools to deal with damage

sweet summit
#

15s dont really hurt that bad

#

maybe not during necrotic

#

but yeah

compact palm
#

Dos

gentle oak
#

everything up to +20 mythic? idk what you mean 15 sec is not really that long

sweet summit
#

+15 keys

#

not 15 seconds

daring bay
gentle oak
#

ah

compact palm
#

Well

daring bay
#

Healers hate me

compact palm
#

I'm out of the loop it seems

gentle oak
#

I mean, since we are at warrior discord, and warrior are the kind of tanks that facetank, I don't see the issue

compact palm
#

I retarct my statement and will wallow in shame

hot oxide
gentle oak
#

idk, in legion tanks did the same damage in dungeon as dps, if they itemized right
in shadowlands it really was looking like blizzard wants to go into different direction with tanks and finally force tanks to go full defensive if they want to survive

mighty valley
#

it's all entirely a sliding scale based on key level and gear level

gentle oak
#

with the additonal changes to target cap the flat damage reduction seems pointless, since pulling more will just make you loose all them aggros

hot oxide
mighty valley
#

if you want to have to go defensive to survive, push to a higher key

gentle oak
#

I mean sure, mr @mighty valley I tanked +10 and I tanked +22, these are still the same games and these are still the same problems.

The huge popularity of DH is not because they take the least damage, but because they can generate threat with 1 button, use 2nd button to stay alive for 6 sec and get the fuck outta dodge and dps clears the rest

hot oxide
gentle oak
#

I was so happy that I tanked sludgefist mythic 214 on my 8 days old warrior, it was hard af, it took a lot of my attention to keep the CDs and know the layout of the fight.

now the same thing could be done with a 205 ilvl warrior, since 10% physical reduction is basically a difference between these two exrtemes

floral pewter
#

with uncapped revenge, isn't prot aoe damage now some of the best among tanks...?

sweet summit
#

its up there in aoe

gentle oak
#

oh and isn't revange capped by "deals reduced damage beyond 5 targets"?

hot oxide
sweet summit
#

less damage>no damage

gentle oak
#

well then we ain't target capped at all lads

#

thunderclap is the same

sweet summit
#

yeah

gentle oak
#

imagine this

#

you pull 20 mobs

#

your damage is reduced AF
mages damage isn't

sweet summit
#

very epic

#

only problem

mighty valley
#

i'm trying to imagine...........

sweet summit
#

is "you pull 20 mobs"

gentle oak
#

DoS

#

Ardenweald section

hot oxide
#

i saw that today, they pulled a shit load into that hallway leading into the aardenweald section

gentle oak
#

I mean 20 mobs is a normal pull there

lofty widget
#

thats literally 1 case out of hundreds of pulls

gentle oak
#

ok, but scale it lower

#

to 12 mobs

#

to 14 mobs

#

that's not really uncommon

#

first pull DoS is like 10 mobs

sweet summit
#

its 7

#

but yeah

gentle oak
#

yeah I see you didin't count the 2 that are at the beggining

#

so, hoa, 2nd pull

sweet summit
gentle oak
#

oh, you are right, sorry

sweet summit
#

2nd pull HoA is 10 yeah

#

if you count the smallies

gentle oak
#

and BTW, I'm talking only in the case of this buff to our damage mitigation

#

you will be, not forced, but you will be inclined to pull more

#

what my point is

#

this is a lazy solution to a problem that is complex

#

give us mechanics to do shit, instead of making the game easier

mighty valley
#

it's a low-effort bugfix update late in the patch cycle

sweet summit
#

oh id argue there are too many mechanics in SL dungeons lol

mighty valley
#

of course they're not going to redesign tanking

sweet summit
#

thats whats limiting your pull size mostly

#

the amount of kicks needed in the first part of HoA for example

gentle oak
marsh aurora
#

are warriors really running nf for high keys ?

mighty valley
#

some are

lofty widget
#

anything is run at high keys

sweet summit
#

if youre really pushing youre most likely playing kyrian cos no other spec does, unless WW is back to being meta now idk

lofty widget
#

pretty sure plka has run high keys as every covenant at this point

marsh aurora
#

the way Dargor said it was "nf is the option for high keys"

#

which seemed weird

gentle oak
#

oh, sorry, Mao

marsh aurora
#

oh wait yo'ure

#

that pika guy

#

the one

#

thanks for your vids !

#

really helping

#

the number 2 prot warrior worldwide 😏

floral pewter
# gentle oak your damage is reduced AF mages damage isn't

does anyone know exactly how Revenge aoe scaling works? the best info I could find is a wowhead article that says "Linearly reduced damage from 5 to 12, no change from 12 to 13, uncapped from 13 to 20, soft-capped after 20" and I'm not sure what that means

marsh aurora
#

im actually surprised the super high io guys are DKs or Prot pal before warriors

floral pewter
#

I guess 12 targets take the same total damage as 5 targets, which is 5/12 of a normal revenge, but then 13-20 targets still take the same 5/12 damage?

sweet summit
#

go to horny jail

signal plover
#

grabs life by the horns

gentle oak
#

if I'm not mistaken, and I am mistaken quite a lot when it comes to warrior, you are correct, but I really have no data to back this up

#

I just noticed that is makes little difference if I pull 5 mobs or 10 mobs when it comes to my damage, because upfront damage from stuff like NF skill and ravager is hardcapped anyway

sweet summit
#

ravager on its own doesnt do a whole lot of damage

gentle oak
#

well, when it comes to aggro there's always mass taunt 🤡

sweet summit
#

its mostly the rage gen that owns

limpid coral
#

I need help with a macro for intervene that seems broken for me

gloomy sundial
#

Do we want to run Reprisal now or still use The Wall?

sweet summit
#

reprisal in m+

#

mostly the wall in raid

#

but reprisal can also be used in raid if you like the playstyle

gentle oak
#

yeah, @sweet summit, but it's one button and it runs in the back, so it usually still is on pair with thunderclap during a dungeon run 😄

plush saffron
#

reprisal is bis in raid

limpid coral
#

Can someone link me a working intervene macro for mouseover? My macro seems to not want to work

sweet summit
#

yeah its like a bit below thunderclap for me

gentle oak
#

yeah, for me too, like 0,5-1%

sweet summit
#

#showtooltip

sweet summit

I see, guess I gotta make that Reprisal legendary if I want to start using Warr for M+

languid mason
#

hey guys is gluttonous spike trinket ok to use for prot? just got tit thats y

#

it

sweet summit
#

its alright

#

depends on what other trinkets you have

#

and the ilvl of that and the others

limpid coral

nothing else really have blood splattered

#

with that

sweet summit

does solid damage

when will the 10% dmg reduction on Vanguard get implemented?

plush saffron

sweet summit

and has a neat self healing component

languid mason

memory of dark sins and that darkmoon card

#

wat u think

gloomy sundial
#

#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover,help,exists,nodead]Intervene;Intervene

I use that for Intervene, seems to work fine for me at least.

sweet summit
#

which darkmoon card?

languid mason
#

sweet summit
#

o :/

sweet summit
#

it sucks ass :(

gloomy sundial
sweet summit

id use memory on ST and spike in aoe

I had to press intervene then click it again for it to go off

unless they plan to put reset on another day for the first time in 17 years

sweet summit

its on reset

languid mason
#

my sblood splattered scale is jus basic that cant be upgraded 184 ilvl

#

everything else is 200+

night wadi
#

Well they do random server restarts even not on Tuesday so yea not the first time

languid mason
#

wat u guys think so go gluttonous and scale?

gentle oak
#

yo they said it in the post its on march 30th xD

languid mason
#

or gluttonous and dark moon card

sweet summit
#

glutt+scale defensively

night wadi
sweet summit
#

sim it for dps

languid mason
#

ok

#

how do i sim?

#

:S

#

i kno i kno sry

#

dont kno these perks

sweet summit
#

i have a copy pasta for this

languid mason
#

raidbots?

sweet summit
#

sec

#

yeah

#

if you wanna sim aoe you just change the target count to like 5 or something

languid mason
#

damn

vestal moat
#

So which non DH tank benefits from the overall 10% DR buff on Tuesday?

languid mason
#

ok click quick sim as well

sweet summit
#

all of them

vestal moat
#

Benefits the most , i should say.

#

Worded that wrong.

#

I'm thinknig maybe a brewmaster because of how they work.

gentle oak
#

yeah that's most likely true

vestal moat
#

maybe a blood dk too? def not prot

gentle oak
#

blood dk doesn't work on damage reduction, I mean don't get me wrong they will be tankier, but they want to get hit more so they can heal more

thorny saddle
#

hi guys i just got the reprisal legenday and was wondering if i should get SBC over booming voice for m+?

sweet summit
#

yeah BSC>BV with reprisal in m+

thorny saddle
#

ty erga!

languid mason
#

ok waiting for it to load

thorny saddle
gentle oak
#

yeah, but not as noticable as for other tanks, because they basically nerfed their self heal by 10% 😄

#

not really 10%, but 7%

thorny saddle
#

like a reduced spikyness helps

gentle oak
#

sure, it always does, but the whole point of BDK is to outheal the damage taken

#

it was done right in legion, I was main BDK back then and I yelled at my healers if they tried their healy magic on me

languid mason
#

ok currently equipeed is top gear with gluttonous spike and blood splatered

#

at my ilvl 201 im droppping in 2,844 dps which is the highest

#

ok

#

so the combination of those trinks are best

#

thx alot guys

#

❤️

gentle oak
#

I really dislike this buff, the whole reason I want to tank is not because I want it to be easy, I want a raid boss to grab me by the hair, spit in my face and call me a little bitch
I definitely don't want the boss to be equipped with baloon weapons....

languid mason
#

@sweet summit ❤️ thx

sweet summit

#

This isnt your bedroom dargor

gentle oak
#

depends on your relationship with bosses 👌🏿

#

I’m pretty happy for this buff. Feels bad to push keys past the 21 mark when tankiness was the limiting factor, even during cds it could be an issue.

#

And I’m sure mythic sire will still prove to be a challenge even with 10% more dr 😛

stable kernel
#

just did a dungeon and someone said all tanks getting buffed?

#

dratnos has done a video on it already

#

im about to watch it.

o wow lol

So am I reading this right; Demon Hunters got the shaft, and the rest of the tanks all got buffed?

torn stump
#

they didnt really get the shaft

grand drum
#

they got buffed lol

torn stump
#

more like a light caress on the hole but they kind of liked it

#

most VDHs are not at stage 2 yet

Yah vdh got a mini buff and everyone else got a bigger buff

If I'm reading it right, VDM lost some of their insane self-healing

mighty valley
#

yeah, "death knights want to take more damage" is a wild take

grand drum
#

taking less damage means that every point of damage you heal up is more valuable. and it increases their EHP to not get 1 shot

do you have a good plater profile to use as protection'

?

stable kernel
#

tbh this update is nice in general

#

all tanks gonna feel tonky

Raid is gonna be pretty easy to tank. just gonna go 2 dps trinks

hot oxide
#

I’m a just pull a shit load after Tuesday maintenance and see what my limit is on each mythic level

i mean, it's 10% DR

Hey guys, i play mostly Fury but occasionally i run some m+ as Prot. Unsure which trinkets i should use, any tips? also Sanguine Vintage is the 220 ilvl one. the 210 one is Decanter of Anima-Charged Winds

sweet summit
#

phial+decanter/phial+vintage depending on needs

charred siren
#

@sweet summit Thanks for the help. Is there a scenario where i would use Splintered heart of al'ar instead? or is the 8 min CD just too long?

sweet summit
#

the cd resets when/if you actually die

#

its great if you need a cheat death tbh, but i still dont really recommend it

charred siren
#

@sweet summit Alright. thanks for the help again

#

Should i get my hands on the Hakkar trinket? would you replace it with decanter/vintage?

sweet summit
#

scale is just a better vintage on a longer cooldown

#

i would not run both scale and vintage together

wanton condor
#

Heart/scale is my personal dream team

#

I feel like in m+ if heart never procs you aren't aggro enough

#

And it just covers mistakes too damn well

hot oxide

#

Does the tank buff make prot war more op

#

In M+?

sweet summit
#

it affects all tanks, so its as if nothing happened

plush tendon
#

Everyone happy 🙂

#

VDH a little less so, but who cares

#

also, initial thought on NF; AA good in cleave, not as much ST

#

Will continue testing; only been spamming heroics for ez renown

gleaming pawn
#

can shield block duration be stacked, like prot paladin shield of righteeous? so i can have 12 seconds of shield block if i use both charges back to back?

torn stump
#

on Dealer Xy'exa in De Other Side, do fucking melee just gravitate towards the trampoline thats closest to the tank

#

is their some type of low level melee brain disease that makes them do that

smoky wave

#

awesome thanks, just picked up prot warrior to give my guilds tanks a break from tanking raid and m+ and being burned out XD trying to learn as fast as possible

torn stump

it will reflect the entire hit?

or just the debuff

turbid cargo
torn stump
#

see thats just a high level rogue living up to the stereotype

turbid cargo
#

it was so stupid I couldn't even be mad

smoky wave

It reflecs the initial dmg, but the debuff remains

Same for AMS , debuff seems physical

I'm going to craft thunderlord piece

#

which one would it be feet or hands

#

cos i have hand which is 226 gear

sweet summit
#

before you craft it, why?

lilac bloom
#

and my feet is 213

#

for mythic dungeon plus keys

sweet summit
#

you use reprisal in m+

#

or the wall

#

but not thunderlord anymore

lilac bloom
#

i have the wall already

#

rank 4

strong forum
#

Then get reprisal

sweet summit
#

make reprisal then, it owns hard

unique shale
#

for raiding have port war is must ? cause my guild is like no re rolling to other tank classes we need prot war

It's the best leggo for m+

Just having 2

Cuz they're dumb idk

so feet or hands

Pwar is good, but it's not a must

#

what is best tank for raiding right now ?

sweet summit
#

theyre all good

#

people used vdh/warr cos those classes' dps specs was dogshit at the start

#

but now theyre at least somewhat decent, so tank doesnt really matter

urban portal
#

also really depends on how good your raid is

unique shale
#

btw in mythic hungry what is worth to SR cause they are a lot of things you can SR

sweet summit
#

Expunge or the orb you leave after

Either or

unique shale

those orb tickle me so i go with expunge

sounds about right

#

battleshout is a must

#

but a dps warrior isnt

unique shale
#

make sense

sweet summit
#

thats literally what i said sadge

urban portal
#

its like real life

#

its just a diversity quota

#

youd bet they would take only afflock+boomie+dk+mage if possible

unique shale
#

my guild struggling so hard on mythic hungry is anybody have guide or weekaure for it ?

sweet summit
unique shale
#

any good video ?

sweet summit
#

depends on which strat youre using

urban portal
#

we got it in 5 pulls

unique shale
#

boss in middle and four groups

urban portal
#

with the square strat

#

yeah that one

urban portal
#

and the rest is just how good healers are

#

oh yeah thats a fight where arms is really good

sweet summit

this is the one that was linked in our strat chat

unique shale
sweet summit
#

not really

#

its ST

#

arms isnt great on ST

soaking doesnt break 2nd wind

so you can relieve a lot of healer stress

oh like that, yea sure

Did the M+ talent tree setup change much with reprisal in the end now it’s had time to be trialed?

Cool thanks, still need to farm it from TG currently as been absorbed in getting my sv Hunter up to par 😂

o it was up last week

unique shale

would be ideal to go with most tankest build for hungry or no just normal build ?

sweet summit
#

just normal

#

hungering doesnt hit very hard

unique shale
#

i know just help healers

sweet summit

feel like healers shouldnt have too hard of a time there tbh

#

just up to people to open eyes and help with miasmas

#

tanks included

unique shale
sharp sun
#

Oh nah sorry meant farming out the soul ash, have got the item 😀

sweet summit
#

wdym how?

unique shale
#

i mean how can i help without changing boss position

sweet summit
#

you just walk to a group?

#

one of the front ones

#

since youre doing the 4 stack points
i assume you have divided the raid into 4 groups, one for each marker

unique shale
#

does it matter that boss face back raid or team or not ?

sweet summit
#

tanks are a part of those groups

#

ideally its not faced towards melee

#

cos of parry

#

like every other boss

#

but if you have to, you have to

#

but youre not always tanking

#

so when youre not tanking you can help soak

#

you feel?

unique shale
#

hmm

#

i will tell raid leader to put melee group near tanks

sweet summit
#

what the heck

#

how are tanks not in melee group

unique shale
#

they are not

sweet summit
#

exactly

#

thats a problem

unique shale

i know i noticed that but i told to shut up and do my job and let them to sort it out

Also how’re people feeling with that 10% less damage taken buff

Doesn't that buff not take effect yet, or was that this morning?

ruby berry
#

Buff isn't in yet, goes in on restarts on regional maintenance days.

fresh belfry
#

For current raiding 10% less damage is an actual joke for warrior and Druid. I can see where it makes sense on bdk and monk

sand condor
#

But for m+

#

10% less magic

fresh belfry
#

Magic damage in m+ is a super small amount

Like tiny

Hey i am new to warrior and started leveling a prot warrior. Into the first dungeons i struggled a lot with resources. I somehow need to hold aggro using revenge and simultaniously generate anger for def cd (lvl 20 just shield block and ignore pain). So either i take tons of damage and habe aggro or i dont have aggro but have def cd up

#

Any advice? Does it get better xD?

feral dock
#

As said in the text i am lvl 20

graceful pewter
#

just hit lvl 50 and then u will get a better feel for how the character kinda works

fresh belfry
#

Kinda doubt Ignore pain is a button you press on level 20

feral dock
fresh belfry
#

well that’s always gonna be true to some extent

#

But I mean because it’s super unnecessary

#

Nothing deals damage on that level

feral dock
#

Lol i just ran 2 wotlk dungeons and a group of 4 mobs was destroying me in seconds xD

#

So i got replaced by a higher lvl dh and i was like an offtank

#

Maybe i just do something terribly wrong

fading prawn
#

Sounds to me like your healer wasn't casting fast enough, the thing about Chromie time dungeon running is you have to adjust for your party, dps have to scale back and healers have to scale up if the tank is lower level.

#

Near level 20 the dps should know with warriors there is a ramp time to agro anyways. have to at least get off that first Thunderclap

feral dock
#

What should my opener look like? Charge, thunderclap, wait for ressources, shield block, shield strike (dunno the eng. name) and then revenge spam if i have the ressources?

#

Using war machine btw as i hoped to get more ressources thst way

No one fcking told me that reprisal also works in charge
