proven pier
#

then i'll just upgrade it

kindred pewter
#

yo prot homies what do you think about prot/havoc/boomie/fire/hpal ?

#

seems like a fire team

paper wedge
#

guys, any idea why there are so few protec necrolords?

timber nest
#

fuck yah, killed mythic council tonight

sick sentinel
#

because other options are better for prot warrior

#

for covenants

lusty ginkgo
#

whats a good covenant if you play all specs but prot mostly?

lofty widget
#

i'd say NF, bis for fury, big dam for prot

compact bloom
#

I love nf so much burst when you have AA, Avatar, and Ravager

That sounds int

compact bloom
#

Hunter good again? I thought they just got nerfed?

kindred pewter
#

They did

#

And dh has magic brand

compact bloom
#

^^^

unique shale
#

well all tank got buff for this week so extra magic reduction looks unnecessary right now

kindred pewter
#

You would take rogue instead of dh if anything

#

Magic brand increases damage enemies take angel

#

It’s a buff for your boomie / fire mage

unique shale
#

oh i see

kindred pewter
#

So I’m wondering if that makes havoc > rogue

#

But I’m not sure

unique shale
#

tbh any melee work

compact bloom
#

If you're running a comp where the 2 other dps are magic yeah

unique shale
#

i prefer dk cause they can make my pull clean

compact bloom
#

But on NW rogue is bis

kindred pewter
#

If ur not running boomie fire ur trolling

#

They removed the crit weapons btw

compact bloom
#

Oh shit really?

kindred pewter
#

Yeah

#

A while ago

#

Lol

compact bloom
#

Damn, that shows you how much I keep up with patch notes xD

thorny saddle
#

crit weapons?

kindred pewter
#

Rogue mage boomie is bis atm but like

#

That’s with vdh tank

thorny saddle
#

oh for nw rogue cheese?

kindred pewter
#

W/o magic brand seems like a troll comp but port warrior looks to be insane atm

unique shale
#

top prot war still running hpala boomy fire hunter

kindred pewter
#

So I’m just thinking havoc > rogue potentially

#

Top prot warrior has no melee interrupts

#

There’s also like no good havoc atm

#

All the best players have like rogue hunter mage boomie

unique shale
#

so havoc in your team is god ?

kindred pewter
#

Probably

#

Melee dps wise

#

If ur running fire boomie it’s better than anything else

unique shale
#

havoc is pure aoe dps he will suffer in ST

compact bloom
#

Is havoc single target OP again with buff and burning wound Lego now?

kindred pewter
#

Yes

#

Havoc is fucking insane in keys rn man

kindred pewter
unique shale
compact bloom
#

I need to craft that on my dh lol, I played vengeance but it's so boring compared to prot imo lmfao

unique shale
#

raid statistic says something different 

kindred pewter
#

Because he’s also giving mage and boomie 5% damage

#

Raid stats

#

Those fights are way longer lmao

#

Dh can only meta once

#

M+ dh has meta for all bosses

#

Or hard clears

compact bloom
#

True

unique shale
#

they higher key you go the longer you are in fight so

kindred pewter
#

Yeah but u can’t look at raid fights and compare that to bosses

unique shale
#

raid is about ST damage so

kindred pewter
#

Not all fights are ST

#

And not all bosses are ST

#

Plus outlaw rogue is not best single target spec

#

But top teams take it

unique shale
#

so ? you saying even with little aoe damage and not all ST dh is better, at bottom of statistics

kindred pewter
#

Because of util etc

paper crow
#

Got Question here How often is ignore pain used i happens to dont use it that much is it need in mandatory pull / tankswap in raid?

#

doing around 15 rn super rarely used ignore pain

#

so im wondering if im doing it right or not

unique shale
#

ip is for when you are out of SB or running low health

#

or trying to mitigate magic damage or big hits

compact bloom
paper crow
#

so you dont dump rage on revenge at all?

compact bloom
#

With reprisal legendary you don't really have to

paper crow
#

hmm

compact bloom
#

Do you have the sun king conduit? That one is really helpful as well

unique shale
#

its not good

compact bloom
#

Really?

unique shale
#

y read guides sometimes

compact bloom
#

Lololol

unique shale
#

its good for tankest builds

kindred pewter
#

lol angel

#

top havoc dh higher than top prot war

unique shale
#

oh that’s your guy ?

kindred pewter
#

i dont even play the class LMAO

mortal edge
#

So i have a question: how much of a diff is NF with Necro for M+ ?

#

I am really considering getting Reprisal and converting M+ tank

#

but i started off NF for Fury - so im thinking if i do the swap, i go full send Necro right?

kindred pewter
#

if ur pugging NF is better

#

if u have a solid group that benefits a lot from mastery (mage/boomie) then its good

#

(necro)

mortal edge
#

Prefer human conversation to ping pong thought process

#

necro just seems like it optimizes reprisal

#

or allows more room for it

#

if i keep it up that often its almost a different style of play

unique shale
#

i can only think of kyrain and venthyr that can optimize reprisals better than others

mortal edge
#

I see

#

can you educate me - im still new

#

so my outlook is def wrong

unique shale
#

For optimizing yes

mortal edge
#

is it soul bind related?

unique shale
mortal edge
#

I see

#

door of shadows <- charge

unique shale
#

Exactly

#

and spear where you can pin them down and leap and charge

mortal edge
#

Hrm

#

yes

#

but wat about soulshape

unique shale
#

door of shadow = soulshape

mortal edge
#

i see

unique shale
#

door has Delay but you have to time it thats it

#

shockwave and door that should give you enough time to escape

mortal edge
#

i def thinking im swapping

#

i think you are convincing me

#

where do i put the leggo, i should prob look into that

#

lmao

unique shale
#

it’s all about which game play you prefer

mortal edge
#

currently im coming back - i was going to be a DPS War main and slowly get back into tanking

#

but tbh, i rushed NF and so im a bit hesitant to swap to another covenant

#

but if its far more ideal, then i should and would

#

but im pugging mostly, M+

#

and ill DPS when its necrotic week lmao

unique shale

#

has anyone done mythic council with 4 healers?

mortal edge
#

angel

#

if i wanted to tank raids and optimize it with reprisal

#

what would you recommend covenant

vestal moat
#

Can we spell reflect the shadowcore from the big guy in DOS?

unique shale
#

always SR that for extra dps

vestal moat
#

good to know ty

unique shale
mortal edge
#

i see

#

seems like im in a pickle

unique shale
#

if you play dps and tank both you have to go either night fea or venthyr

#

night is more ideal in m+ while venthyr is in raid

#

different between them are small so its up to you

fringe marten
#

hm? does SLG get a lot nastier in later phases? we're just hitting transition where we do first full orb phase.. seems easy so far?

fringe marten
#

and I busted out my old Crown of bloody succession from bank..I forgot about the 'speed' gem from that. it's 1% free run speed ..so that thing still has value.

#

gets harder for tanks/ or the dps angel?

#

I know the seismic dance is coming up..etc..and the boss swapping starts.

unique shale
#

i know in last phase Stavros hit so hard

#

after each Evasive Lunge

balmy coral
#

Why didn't anyone tell me how broken prot is in Torghast???

unique shale
#

cause you never play prot in torghast ?

mighty valley
#

i always do prot in torghast

balmy coral
#

I always ran furey which was fine but HOLY FUCK it's amazing

mighty valley
#

just wander through, pull constantly, never die

balmy coral
#

I am having issues with despawning for pulling too much

fringe marten
#

LOL early on in expac we were often talking about how way easy torg is as any tank spec, and as prot it's a breeze.

#

And now with some of the new powers we can do even more dps? if you run seismic and then get that power that increases revenge during berserker rage...and with the right stuff we did bonkers damage before.

mighty valley
#

they nerfed the condemn power though 😢

unique shale
#

yeah

#

sad times

fringe marten
#

Um..because..? way way too op? That 'culling blade' talent is so ridiculous in torghast.

#

er..anima power

balmy coral
#

How much dps yinz doing postbuff in mythic+? I've been outdpsing prot pally single target

fringe marten
#

you shouldn't..they're doing something wrong I think.

balmy coral
#

I am parsing 98-99%, usually 3-3.2k single target

fringe marten
#

Right..and that's WAY behind paladin.

grizzled forge
#

is there a macro to intervene the target of ravenous on generals?

fringe marten
#

yeah as long as you're tanking the gargoyle, or switch to it..

#

/cast [@targettarget,help,exists] Intervene; Charge

#

that's the easy 1 line but my 'full' macro for that key is..

#

#showtooltip
/cast [@targettarget,help,exists] Intervene; Charge
/cast [mod:shift,@mouseover] Intervene
/cast Charge
/cast [mod:ctrl] Heroic Leap

#

the base /charge shouldn't be 'needed' but it makes it easier to sometimes get charges off to random stuff before it has a target or whatever..for reprisal use

#

I shouldn't ever need leap but during the first intermission with the commandos I occassionally pick up an orb while pulling them off boss.

restive ice
#

The reprisal lego looks very juicy but having to intervene people seems a bit clunky , what do you guys think

#

I been playing some fury on the side and just had a prot warrior tank who looked like he was taking absolutely no damage whatsoever in a 14 wadner

#

Kinda made me want to try it

haughty sleet
#

Mouse over intervene makes it ez

#

Thinking of making the switch to horde, I mostly do M+. Any suggestions on race I should pick? I see a lot of vulpera warriors is their kit good?

unique shale
#

horde bias again

plush tendon
#

Pick the race you want to look at for extended periods of time

#

I like Blood Elf, theres a bunch here who love their furry warriors, and the OGs are probably orcs and taurens

got a question

#

my shoulders are leggo which ones should i get?

#

is the trinket any good?

plush tendon
#

Shoulders or chest; trinket is garbo

summer hedge
#

you sure?

plush tendon
#

You can upgrade any mythic dungeon piece to 220 if you have ksm

fresh wind
#

yeah that trinket isn't any good, haven't seen anybody run it

summer hedge
#

@steady karma can you say the same about this trinket?

plush tendon
#

Chest is big, shoulders also big; are you running the wall or reprisal?

summer hedge
#

@remote wadi

#

wall

their tags are “Arms” “fury”

summer hedge
steady karma

has nothing to do with tags; theorycrafters aren't personal help lines - someone already answered the question, so there's certainly no need to start pinging people looking for "second opinions" or w/e

# summer hedge wall

Here’s my suggestion; if you are planning to continue using the wall take chest, if you plan to swap to reprisal shoulders

200

In the future a lot of the people that offer answers in here are very experienced prot bois so I wouldn't worry about tagging orange names

hybrid isle
#

Are there any good passive trinkets? Im guessing hakkar trinket is first choice for trinkets but what else do people play?

plush tendon
#

Blood soaked scale is bae; after that it’s situational but generally tank trinkets are underwhelming

#

Use alar if you think a cheat death will save a wipe, phial from PF good st trinket, then gluttonous spike is alright (nothing special) but very easy to get at a good ilevel

#

Also, hymnal trinket is very strong, even at lower i levels. If you can find one, give it a go

hybrid isle
#

For starters ill take whatever, just dinged a few days ago, but good to know if it would be worth to try lfr or normal raid pug for decent trinket

plush tendon
#

PvP stat trinkets also aren’t bad

hybrid isle
#

Thanks for the info

unique shale
#

does scale 226 worth it over 220 ?

plush tendon
#

I mean yes? But depends what you are giving up to get it at 226

#

As far as I understand, and correct me if I’m wrong, higher I level versions of the bss arent necessarily huge gains

unique shale
#

idk should i open vault on dps for 226 weapon or prot for scale 226 shield 226 ( i have 223 )

plush tendon
#

What’s you two hander right now and are you clearing the mythic boss that drops your weapon

unique shale
#

i am single minded fury with two 226

#

i would be nice to get two handed weapon to play arm

plush tendon
#

Risk with rolling chest for tank trinket, is that you add in all the Garbo tank trinkets into the loot table

unique shale
#

wdym ?

plush tendon
#

If you roll as prot looking for, in this case bss, you can get a bss but now you can also get the armor trinket from halls, that tank trinket from SD and etc.

unique shale
#

i have my bis already running scale and Overwhelming Power Crystal for condemn go brrrrrrrrrrrrr

plush tendon
#

But I guess it’s different with prot; I might be thinking too much like a blood dk

#

We roll for unholy loot : ^)

unique shale
#

bruh

plush tendon
#

And only go for blood loot when you are gambling for scale

would it be better to take a 16 ilvl increase on hast mast shoulders or 6ilvl on wep ?

comrades, m sire prog starts in 2.5 hours so my question is how hard was the biggest melee you've taken from him so far.

Question for any other Venthyr Prot Warriors, Running Reprisal

#

How are you guys going for Soulbinds

#

I feel like Draven is juicy with the new higher SB uptime

Door of Shadows gives a shield is incredibly useful

and Hold Your Ground or Superior Tactics being super good too

Hey fellow Prot warriors. Question. Pretty shit choices on the vault, but would you choose and +13 ilvl increase in belt but without haste. or -4 ilvl ring with lotsa haste.

hi odd one, is there a weak aura or addon that lets a tank know if they are in combat and not in melee range of their target in m+?
have a new ish tank guy who keeps walking out of melee range of static bosses and triggering their "die die die" mechanics

strong forum

Well usually the Die die die mechanic is the indicator of that

Or you being unable to attack yourself

Well, I assume its your friend

Got a small vault question, atm I got 207 pants and 200 gloves equipped. In vault I got a 226 pants with bad stats, and a 220 pants with good stats, or gloves for 223 with good stats. Is it worth just going for the 226 even tho it doesnt have my optimal stats on it?

lofty widget
#

ilvl>everything

subtle tulip
#

even tho stats are meh?

lofty widget

so probably take gloves cause they give most stats

we only care for secondaries on equal ilvl pieces

Didnt even get it before the valor system?

I had a 187 atleast but cant upgrade it ;p

strong forum

The 6 ilvl upgrade on pants is actually a bigger stat upgrade than, the 7ilvl on gloves

#

In terms of total gain

subtle tulip

Gloves = 11 strenght gain whilst pants are +13

but pants have mastery + crit ;

Hey all, I'm just starting to tank for my guild after mostlying playing Arms (meaning I'm specced as Venthyr currently). I'm looking at warcraft logs and seeing that there are a few Venthyr Prots at the higher tiers, but they all play Nadjia and not Draven, anyone know why? Also, I've noticed that people use Crackling Thunder instead of Bounding Strides for a number of single target fights, is there a reason for this?

ebon hound
#

Haste good

ebon hound
#

They're probably playing Crackling cause they forgot to swap after m+

#

As you may have guessed, it doesn't really matter

unique shale
#

Draven doesn't provide anything good

so you go Nadjia from left to left or right to left

this is my build for raid

Ok thanks much. I'm 217 on Prot with 31% Haste and 213 shield btw

safeguard never had use for it in raid for me but i think i do it for hunger mythic

rotund parcel
#

you can safeguard a bunch of the tank swaps if your feeling lazy

#

just intervene your cotank

#

and then tab back out

#

when debuff is inc

surreal sinew
#

you can get your co tank to make a macro on his filler spell to remove the intervene aura

#

seeing as safeguard is separte

unreal scarab
#

still not sure guys. wanna switch from my zandalari trollboy. i have so many of them. should i go highmountain or Vulpera with my prot? so torn!

Have you checked any of the guides?

Do you understand the pulls/core concept of our mitigation?

spend an hour on the tank training dummies

also do you accept our lord and savior SB ?

unique shale
ionic fern
#

Biggest mistake new people tend to do is prioritising IP over SB which is wrong.

pulsar briar

what i do not know though is whether sb second stack..eg if i get 4 sec from charge and press sb after that

rotund parcel
#

yer it all stacks together so you dont lose any time on the buff

If you intervene your co-tank on SLudgefist, does that mean you'll basically be taking double damage (their damage AND my damage)?

he hast to make a macro

/cancelaura Intervene on his main filler spells

otherwise you get clapped

kindred raptor

and the cancel aura doesnt affect the dmg reduction from the conduit?

also means you can get safeguard because the aura is sperate

what kind of ilvl is worth sacrificing for good stats for rings and necks? ive got a 226 crit mastery neck against a 207 haste vers

Neck and rings have no primary stat, my self I use them for the stats I want. And upgrade when I get a better roll of the stats. Not sure if that's correct, but that's what I do.

Valor stops at the cap

You don't get more if you spend it all

mortal edge

Does it increase weekly

Valor

#

The cap that is

elfin nova

If your character is already geared then upgrading whatever with valor is fine

If you're gearing up it's a huge waste to upgrade a lower ilvl piece

valor cap increases every week yes

Yes it increases

I just came back this week and I am 1500/6750

?

elfin nova

It's 1k for a 2h

mortal edge

Cause I’m new to warrior thus expac and I just came back

This is is great push week

So 6k if you need two fury weapons kek

So I can tank as a low ilvl

Weapons are the only reason to sit on Valor, and the only reason it won't be completely pointless in a month.

One-Hand Intellect Weapons - Cost 750 Valor to upgrade

Or sub 10?

the higher the better is

i say 13 time

I wouldn't rush to upgrade gear and burn all your valor points. It's kinda screwy because spending a lot of valor on a piece then getting 226 from the vault feels so bad

In the same slot I mean 😄

Getting a bunch of players who can all spec for a trinket drop for example is going to be your best way of getting a decent set of gear imo. You can then upgrade the real key pieces while you wait to see what the vault brings

Getting into the group is probably harder than actually tanking it

#

don't go 15 keys cause people want to get boosted for their KSM so never is a good group

But you should be able to make a legendary...? Unless you made a dps one

I went dps first

#

So I have a 190 signet

#

But I have 1600 soul ash

#

Idk if it’s worth getting a prot leggo if I’m nit tanking 15

#

I did +16 on my monk at 205 ilvl, you can probably do a 15 now if you are careful and kite a lot

mortal edge
#

Since I can tank 13 / 14

#

Yeah

#

Which is why I’d love to be comfortable with a leggo kije reprisal

#

People did 14-15s in first weeks with 190

#

I'm just saying

mortal edge
#

Of im just over thinking this

#

Getting into a group for a 15 at 204

#

Is going to be hard

mortal edge
#

Yeah I kno that but now is different

#

Too many 226s around for those keys

elfin nova
#

Or impossible

mortal edge
#

Why the hell wills they bring me@

unique shale
#
