Facts
I have; its great
@ionic fern I can't. I HAVE TO TEST LEGENDARIES
SKYHOLD NEEDS ME TO
No, i got Reprisal on 210 now.
Fuck I think I missed last weeks torghast actually
π
i was planning on running around +18-+20s roughly
think about 2 legendaries, seismic + reprisal *gasp
hows venthyr for that bracket
prot torghast is so chill now, I can just watch something on other screen and mash through it
It's fine.
dope
@mighty valley I just run to the end boss on each level
lmao yeah I should do that
Leaper build is hilarious
though i dunno what i'm building now though... i guess it's leaper time
EQ jumps
I got reprisal at 235 :D
yeah that's why I try to find ways to run seismic
Wtb better lego design
:)
I was telling nerf in my stream yesterday, seismic is the play in mists. Doing God's work convincing him
anything to get away from reprisal
maybe i should get seismic for farm keys......
:D if I get more people to do torg then I am truly going to hell
I actually like torghast
π
a lot of the time i gotta do torghast for guild people who haaaaaaaaaaate doing it solo anyway
The first time its ok
Although I also dont do it religiously sooooo
make sure to take leaper, so you're really jumping in thorghast
What do the admins/class writers look like in this discord
Wdym lol
I hate doing torghast in a group xD
like, are they hot?
Are they the Valβkir
A good percentage of them are bald
No
I do torg right on reset so I don't dread it
Mwahi is theorycrafter
think nom and erga are stormforged
What ranks do the admins/class writers of this discord have
Why?
I just want to know
Thatβs all
I know the paladin discord ranks for their admins and what not
same with the monk discord
Erga is the one with the paddle
contributor/theorycrafter
valkyr are mods yeah
Boomer
They lurk
mwahi Is scary. he told me if I keep stepping out of line like pushing as venthyr, I'd get banned
that's why I'm kyrian now
he's right tho π
I'm getting an itch to come back to prot warrior over paladin are still really fun?
Cant answer that for you

Yes, Change now
Bro we all know necro is the best
/s
One day it will be.... then I can return to being a Necroboi
Sweet my original main lol he's venth right now was thinking about making another warrior to go night fae
until then 
But if you really think about it do you actually want to? Now that you've been exposed to the shock?
I have hopes and dreams that one day, the banner will become somthing great
that can rival the power of AA
I pulled +4K for the first time last night in a non-cheese mechanics 17, prot warrior is fun again, although if I was a prot pally might have hit 5k
less kite now = more dps
I think Prot Warriors are significantly sturdier then Prot Paladins, though Paladin damage is nutty
Sweet! I'll make reprisal tonight and go rage
Yeaaaa buddy
like we talking about revenge and seismic reverb, mofos over there throwing the shields and SoTR like its going out of style
Lol my favorite role in game is tank so I love all tanks
Do you go Best served cold over Booming with reprisal
Gotcha
Is there a specific timing for blocking evasive lunge on council
Just press when he casts I guess right?
For both
Nicklaus you press when cast
One of the spreadsheets shows evasive lunge as blockable
For stavros it's a really specific timing for spinning around
Like super specific
Otherwise you dash him into your raid
Like you basically have to spin to face him as he starts dashing
Not on the windup
Hmm okay sounds spicy
just have your camera loking behind u then press boht mouse buttons to turn
Easiest way ye but you can still fuck it up and get hit in the back lol
It's a finicky timing
its wonky for raid
question about gear again. should i continue using Worm Smasher or upgrade the Supercollider and use that
really good for m+ imo
yeah im gonna probably do that
use last stand at the high stacks and manage block and wall for niklaus
I don't think I've seen logs or vods of anyone consistently blocking lunge
But I would be very impressed
thats why in the end i gave up and just took the stacks like the potision is more improtant and we were only swapping at 3
so not much damage
Nvm
XD

it was the most consistent way i could do it
I was half expecting it tbh
but it wasnt worth the eeffort
But if sense ain't doing it then there's no sense in doing it ;)
I got to skip being a tank for that nightmare

is there anything special i have to do when tanking stavros?
Now I'm back to tanking on sludge
Dont hit others with lunge

i feel like paper @204 on heroic
but like its the easiest way i found anyway and even if i did turn around etc like 50% of the time its like nah u were facing it but u didnt block even tho u had block up
π€·
It's so fast it would be latency dependant
probsbalyt
Make sure your cotank isn't making your life harder by actually not taunting when he should be taunting
i've moaned at my raid to stop getting hit with lunge enough that i'd never live it down if i fucked up spinning and got them hit
It shouldn't be too bad
I just want a couple reclears for a shot at hungering shoulders.
Plz mog
I think I need chest too
Fak
@chilly brook how many stacks should you be swapping on?
^
he only lunges the way you're facing when he casts right
as in if i move after he teleports behind me is it "fixed"
it is right?
No
It doesnt lock direction until he actually starts moving
i move a lot using my mouse so you can probably turn around as he teleports really easily that way
just change angle and right click and its insta
I died once and our druid cotank tanked Stavros up and till 7 stacks or something.
i havent really tried it
i will next raid
we're wiping anyway might as well experiment
It's not really worth the effort tbh
yea not worth, I'd turn and have him randomly charge diff directions and shit, too much of a headache
^
βοΈ
if he was the last one to die would be bigger deal but just use CDs for higher stacks and it's nbd
its great from like blocking all of them then doing the same thing next pull and blocking none

same
Lol

the only issue with stavros is when you you have to DPS the one dancers down. We now just tell the raid to move directly out of stavros after the dance.
come in really happy im here than sense, hes come in next week nah sit down

Just need people to stop dying so I can pump
And get the kill

Wtb massacre for prot
fuck that i want sudden death
Rank 5 is still pretty freakin good
but i was 2nd
Dude somewhere I have a screen of me beating sense on like a week 1 heroic hungering or some stupid shit
Obviously got dumpstered later
i had him beat on sludge mythic, then he actually came back with reprisal and made me look like a fool 
twice now
afaik all items have same drop rate, so 2/5 chance you get an item, then divide that across all the items on the prot war loot table
bump that up by bringing a bunch of people loot speccing a shield spec
pretty much 
Yeah lol Iβve been trying to do that
Holy pala ele shammy
Maybe some geared rets that donβt mind changing loot spec or wars
hunting a specific item is always gonna be kinda maddening though
True my shield is still 184
Which happens to be bis before 9.0.5 πππ
you could get a quick n dirty shield upgrade through PVP
Hmm very true
What rating is 2v2
Iβve never played arms man
But then again just spear of bastion and bladestorm
Sorry what raiting is 200ilvl haha
I don't remember, you can just do unranked bullshit and still get up to 197 pretty quick
does intervene still soak the remaining portion of ravenous feast on slg if you don't get it off beforehand?
If you intervene on the other tank in the sludge fight do you essentially take double damage?
yeah, but you can get your cotank to macro in clearing the intervene buff
taking double hits is about the same as not having block up
it's really just for hardcore maximizing reprisal... wouldn't think about it pre-mythic
Im wondering, how much uptime can you realistically get on physical damage blocked on SLG
Any tank who doesnt mind me asking him/her about logs and what to look at :)?
jakey made an in-depth video about it, lemme look
Cause Im hitting 31/32 Good casts of shieldblock
And Im not getting higher than 65
When wowprogress thinks I should behitting 85
In this video I discuss why I used reprisal for mythic sludge fist and how I used on the fight.
Talents run - Devastator/ Double Time/ Booming Voice/ Bounding Stride/ Indom/ Into the Fray/ Anager Management
Well that is just absolutetly wonderful. Thank you π
They prolly think we can like read ya kno
they should know better than to overestimate us like that
Prolly
I always thought slg was sludge lol
Does anyone know the answer to my question above?
It's probably easiest if you share a log and we can point some things out, then you can compare for future logs
Yea I was thinking that but then I thought I might get publicly memed on π
getting publicly memed on is how we improve
I already got my guild and the mythic pugs that do it, I guess what is a extra discord server right π β€οΈ
i've never seen anyone be a huge asshole to someone sharing logs in here lol
@jagged pier anager Management?
Hey, I'm gearing up my prot warrior. Looking at conduits. About Ashen Juggernaut (the execute conduit), I suppose you have to play a bit intelligently to maximize uptime in M+, target swapping etc.
But what if I'm lazy and don't do that, is it still really good? I'm not keen on putting in that much effort, so I'm wondering how much I lose out on.
What cov are you? I think basically all the covenant specific conduits other than venthyr are better
necrolord
bloodmallet ranks ashen juggernaut high? Am I reading it wrong?
Am I able to tank keys under +10 without a tank legendary? I have the signet of kings but am waiting to craft a decent reprisal
Yes
show of force then, for M+?
If you have to run 2 potency, yes
yus
guess i'll also take a look at what other necrolord warriors do in M+ for inspiration. Thanks
Anager
i missed 1 melee on my kill the rest i blocked
Slg
85%ish you game it well imo
Just like m+
But 70% should be more than enough
Like absolutely enough
on my longest attempt tonight
67%
but i could do better
like far better
can get more charges in
its some charges and charge on stone fists
Or well, only your occasional charge
i can defiantly fit more charges in on the adds and stuff but like the adds jump around melee u in the back etc
π€·
Yes I believe intervene will prevent the dmg after you cast it even if you didn't land it before hand
give me 100 more pulls ill me 75% consistant
Yes
It's multiple hits
Not 1 dot
Just intervene as soon as you can, even mid ability it'll transfer
I was between 60-70 over the course of prog pulls last night
We're working on P2 atm so lots of missed uptime there as the sheep are being herded
Grashaal phase w/e
ty
same
and i get around the same
oo i just got 90% in a pull up to half way through intermission 1
log pliz
Ahhhh
Aight, my evening is complete
I sit on a charge of charge most of intermission
Much ember glow
@ionic fern im confused... is that your Tmog or are you just killing blackhand?
ah makes sense; ive been using the blackhands battlegear with the agility sword he drops + Red and Black Scale shield
so was interested to know if you could get one to look like blackhand himself π
Now just gotta survive scuffed slg mythic pulls
Does someone know if Intervene redirects AoE abilities?
it redirects single target physical hits
When do we use shield wall in m+ , big pulls or pretty much cd
I find I sit on it alot
to fill SB gaps or in high dmg spikes pretty much
what is the passive ability or talent that makes Revenge free when you dodge or parry?
I use IP over SB for caster heavy packs too, should I cast both?
I ran a HoA and I felt squishy so just wondering
It's a buff called "Revenge!".
I'll 181
Thanks. I expected to see it in my spell book somewhere.
as long as youre taking blockable dmg you prio SB over IP.
those packs really come down to if your group can kick or not, a full IP wont save you if your group is not interupting
Ok I ran spires yesterday and ft good, today in HoA was squishy
have to ask, the buffs to warrior tanks ( to vangaurd ) how big impact is it really for us?
the impact is about 10% DR
how often do you actually use Execute in m+?
on bosses and big single target trash
so we're still useless in m+ 
?????
How much uptime on SB does ppl have while using Reprisal and AM talent?
80-85 % effective uptime
what matters is that your uptime now lasts through most of the threatening parts of pulls, when everything's up
without having to kite or just eat unblocked hits as soon
Just did a dungeon, first time with the legendary, I got 55% on details :S
takes a bit to get used to maximizing it
cant really say much from details
details tracks whole dungeon and not just activity time
unless you have it set up otherwise
my blocktime on details is usually 65 ish, but my effective uptime is closer to 85
details tracks combat time wym
that's why details #s are always higher than wcl #s for the same key
logging and checking what percentage of hits were blocked is a better indicator
thats theo nly right indicator tbh
o wait i thought there was a separate setting for that in m+
sometimes my details numbers don't match up with my party members
well i get that too but idk what that's all about tbh
but you can look at the overall segment's time #
and compare to the keystone tracker
it'll always be lower, it just throws out the time out of combat
not 100% sure if it's only using your personal combat status or like if anybody is in combat

Oh look, the April first version of Deja.
that spirit tho
someone convince me to not swap from necrolord to night fae pls
go nf
bet
That's just how it is if you have classic as well as play retail
Go night fae do yourself a favor
Anyone here tried venither tanking.
Considering taking my warrior out kyrian for more damage.
Any high level tanks fancy carrying me through tp +10 π
i am venthyr and i have answers
Does the damage seem to be better for them or does it fill weird to run prot that way?
How do you fill the class runβs together with that comboβs
It's fine, it does good single target damage but you give up any extra aoe you'd gain
you go brrr with condemn at single target without any defensive
its like playing arm at single target
Whats the right way to use sanguine vintage? When your not taking damage to maximize the heal?
So I get that there is no increase to damage except single target even with the haste buff from the tree not the ability.
haste doesnβt increase your condenm damage it is either versa or cirt
haste reduce your rotation down time and SB
@cedar stump as close to on cooldown as possible, when you're about to take a big hit
You pretty much ignore the heal
For the heal to be good you need to be low but not taking damage, in which case you weren't in danger
That makes sense, so basically like a worse lingering psychic shell
Yes
But something can be a lot worse than LPS and still be decent :p
That trinket was insane
makes sense, thanks!
Does block (and crit block) work from behind or the sides?
you need to be what the game calles infront of the target
or rather the target has to be infront of you
same same
"Front facing" is pretty generous on most mobs tbh
But yeah if u give ass you vet what you came for tbh
Protect ass. Got it.

anyone found a way to get Plater to react differently when treants have aggro vs other party members?
Try looking for the plater mod "attacking specific unit"
Does anyone have a video guide suggestion for Prot warriors esp around M+?
Plkatv
Oh...
That guy
guide video you say...
I'm too scared to post for self promo LOL but if you look up plkatv protection warrior guide on YT ull find it :)

Sick guide love the content btw
Wondeful thanks a ton for sharing
really makes me want to try out prot warrior
Any of you guys used IRT for M HD?
Is BSC a DPS upgrade over BV even in single target?
No
ty!
@patent osprey did you switch covenants recently to kyrian? in the video you say you are necro but in Raider.io it shows you as Kyrian
So, how do I fix my healers if I'm dying on M DH with like 96% block uptime.
Anyone have a guardian and feel... sturdier on it? I love my warrior , but I still feel like a yo yo health wise (reprisal, 70-80 percent uptime on SB)
That's because bear is all meatpoints.
I want to smash my head into an industrial shredder. I'm so tired of watching people wipe on M HD.
We are on M HD also. We got an add on last week and starting getting him down to the teens
I've already killed him, but my raid feels like monkeys and typrwriters.
We wiped at 4% because my healers let me die from being punched over 10 s.
Like
I can't do any better than this.
What the fuck am I supposed to do at this point besides just mentally clock out and wait for my healers and DPS to figure out how standing in circles at the right time works.
Yea thatβs rough man
And my entire raid just gave so much pushback against the IRT module.
How do you keep that uptime?
Reprisal.
My entire raid bitched about it.
No, I run out when Overwhelm is about to start casting on the cotank and then taunt > intervene them after I grab boss.
Usually don't have to hit block, sometimes I do.
It's such a boring fight tbh.
I'm basically using charge as a buffer because he swings once or twice between taunts.
And then roll it into a block after his big casts.
You can tell if you need to bother blocking by just watching the Overwhelm timer.
If I have 8s on block and OW is coming in 6 I don't even block.
I just let it roll and revenge.
Ahhh I gotcha , thanks . I just got reprisal , I need to get it working . I am getting frustrated in higher keys because I feel like I am getting my teeth kicked in on my warrior where on my guardian Iβm half asleep at the keyboard and just fine
Iβm dps ing in mythic, was more talking about m pluses
Oh.
I leap and teleport out, yes.
Rarely caught flat-footed without a block.
And if something takes that long to kill it's probably a dead key anyway lol.
Thatβs my biggest problem. I just came back to the game and am stuck in the 800-1000 dead zone of io where half the time my dps or healers are legit mouth breathers who donβt interrupt, use dcd s, etc
You gotta build your own keys, dawg.
That way you can get the top notch andys.
I'm coasting into 1400 atm.
that's pug world nothing you can do
I'm confused as hell. When I sim over DTPS haste has negative value for me. TMI has it negative as well.
DTPS ( Pawn: v1: "Kamikazebob-Protection": Class=Warrior, Spec=Protection, Strength=1.77, Stamina=0.04, CritRating=1.50, HasteRating=-0.09, MasteryRating=1.68, Versatility=1.41, Armor=1.66, Dps=2.09 )
My current stats are
Crit 15%
Haste 7%
Mastery 37%
Verse 17%
Am I simming incorrectly?
burh how do you live with 7% haste ?!
Just fine, honestly. Been somewhat unlucky with drops
Is that a survivability SIM?
Is there a special mode? It's a standard 300 second patchwerk with myself in tank role. Scaling enabled and I'm looking a DTPS and TMI
Can someone settle an argument for me?
Prideful - the add, impacted by Fortified weeks or not?
no
Prideful is only affected by the default health / damage increase from the key itself
Bro...
How the fuck is this real.
Tell me this isn't normal.
That was our kill on M HD
this is normal
idk how you do it but i doing it with condemn
I'm NF.
If you're doing less DPS than the 4th lowest DPS tank as one of the top ranged specs I feel like there's something abnormal.
Like, I know I'm tryharding as a pumper, but this is kinda unreasonable imo.
Who needs a leggo for H nath or M shriek anyway
I'm gonna split, I'm just bitching in Skyhold about my shitty DPS and their crappy mechanics. Clogging up the chat lol
I just spent half the night in seismic
kek
Dawg you don't sim survival....
Literally no reliable good survival sim exists
That's kind of what I thought. How do people make informed decisions about trinkets, gear, and talents? Theorycraft alone?
Kinda
Ilvl is king
Not really much decision making to be had
Equip highest dps trinkets
Then if you need survival from trinkets slot one of the 3 decent options
Talent wise there isn't much to it
Bargasts leash makes me wish I swapped loot specs
leash on healers
my 213 phial simms better π¦
lol
oof what do I do what Skulker's Wing
Should I put reprisal on legs or boots?
New wow player here playing prot warrior. From what I understand legs is better for stats, so why would you ever put it on boots?
There are 233 legs from Stone Legion Generals, but there are no 233 boots, so you might be better off with 235 boots if you're clearing mythic
Otherwise yeah, legs
Oh, but thats not a big enough reason to not opt for legs right?
what are the top stats that I want?
lol wise words
here to help π
Do what you did in 16s, but do it +1 harder
Not entirely true
Its actually a pretty good trinket for pure single target fights
And it's a really good trinket for sludgefist
Legit crits for 47k during pillar
does double time give intervene charges?
No.
stupid question, if i sim equal as fury and arms will i do better on one of the specs in a raid (given that i play equally good on one of the specs)?
thinking that there might be CD timings etc that impacts π
might also be a bit early in the morning for me to think straight π¦
Sir, this is prot
i know
but you guys seem to know much about everything π
and im sure im not the only one with OS
You will do better as fury as itβs much simpler to play imho and less punishing to mistakes with cool downs.
sounds reasonable
I recently switched from dps to tank. What is the top priority to upgrade with valor? Shield? Because it actually has some block value? (210 shield currently equiped) or trinkets like scale?
How much haste is enough? its diminishing return on it ye? sitting on around 20%
how much versa?
7

upgrade shield and scale
then spent on your lowest lvl gears
the dk's have lost their shit
why
they've renamed the entire discord
why
then why they losing their shit for a rename
lmao its called Sylvannas Fan Club now lol
lol
can you send me dk discord link in dm ?
best quote "We don't need April 1st patch notes when the actual patch notes are already a joke on the other 364 days of the year"
No thatβs a terrible quote
Hi guys, im trying to decide a covenant to play and canβt decide between necro and Kyrian, I donβt really want to be NF and will be mostly pugging keys. Can anyone offer advice?
In that case kyrian, it's very good and hardly any dps is kyrian either

necro's only fun if you're gassing up your friends to have huge bursts
βοΈ
Great thank you guys!
I am necro since 9.0.5. I got my ksm being necro and I enjoy it SOO much more compared to kyrian. Bubble is very handy for prides and as you said, I have to post some logs so you guys can see how much boomie convoke and enh shaman benefit from the banner. It's insane they burst 25k on small packs.
If you have a few friends to play with go Necro 100000%. If you pug, kyrian is safer
Also necro traits are better than kyrian, more overall dps
Iβm going to go Kyrian at the beginning when gearing and pugging, hopefully pick up a regular group to play with and then go necro. Thanks everyone
Can you Post ur rio pillow
Reprisal is fun on SLG
Reprisal is fun period
βοΈ
Tf is that TC change? I re-rolled panda for nothing???
Iβm pretty new to prot and trying to get the hang of using reprisal in keys. So far Iβve been opening with charge, using my shield block charges, then intervene on a healer or ranged then charging back in to keep as much uptime on SB as possible then just waiting for SB charges to come back up and rinse repeat
Does that seem like the way to go pretty much?
Wanna use intervene earlier
In an ideal scenario you would always have the CD rolling on charge, intervene and SB, and never sit on them
Ive been playing fury up until now and wanna swap to prot or at least play some prot on the side, I am NF currently, how viable is that for prot
Very
Nice thanks! Glad I dont have to go through the hassle of changing covenant
do we "pin" class guide videos? i think the new plika vid is pin worthy
What soulbind are you running with in keys?
I'm really enjoying playing Necro on my warrior too. Fleshcraft is awesome for initial boss pulls, and banner + avatar + hero/lust makes for HUGE burst damage you.
Emeni. It's supposed to be for raids only but I like it more than the other one.
Yea the dps is insane.
If you run reprisal you dont need Bolster, take AM for more dps πͺπΌ
Bolster bis for shield block up time
It's great when the tank ends up with competitive DPS
But u dont need it
I do like 4-5k dps allover a dungeon and tanking most with my face π and i have only 215 gear
Keys are 14-16
I just feel more alive with bolster. Since I am not using the wall, I really don't care about shield wall anymore, I have seen that shield block uptime is way better than stupid shield wall.
Yes but bolster is not nearly as good when you already have 80%+ shield block uptime without it
I will definitely try that thanks π
You get more damage and rage (and more shield wall) from AM
You're defensively more likely to benefit from shield wall every 2m than even more block uptime
I had am before my ksm but when I tried to push I saw every tank was using bolster and I copied it. I will try AM again
that was most likely before reprisal
That was before 9.0.5 and reprisal
AM was not the pick with TW for sure but bolster is pretty much just overkill with reprisal
I'm pretty excited to try out Mwahi's special April 1st prot talents!
Deep in the archives of my prot warr disc screens
you should switch stormbolt for rumbling earth
tbf, i used that build and recorded it, it wasn't actually that bad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcZXfoB2f70
you can see here it actually held up nicely
So something more like charge, intervene a melee, SB, SB?
Or would double time be worth it for charge, intervene a ranged, charge again
a bit late, but its impossible to accurately sim DTPS, so just dont. survivability is like 95% self play anyway. ilvl>haste>vers>crit=mast. delete pawn
You can sim for dps with raidbots, thats as far as simming goes
Ye smth like that

Lol, range getting quacked on
this was me last night in a SoA 15
Killed Mr Cannonball many of times/close to death
thats what our ele shaman did XD
kept interrupting the healer
at least she quacks the mobs right back
not if you get bounced around in the Caster area
no, plenty of extra trash
yeah
and then my favorite "Focus the skull"
Spriest kills the little dudes and spawns Prideful on that small platform with the death tornado (you know the one)
KEK
though, shouldnt you need to kill all three to spawn prideful?
oh wait, right, extra trash
Bosses aint bad this week though since its Fort
ToP can be a slog
and had 4min left
yea, thats a riperino
I wasn't about to add to that Spriests pile of carried crap to boost his io
Overall, its a good week since the affixes dont directly buff any dugneons, just got to be able to deal with them XD
He just wants the Ruby π
Anyone have any tips on how to use Reprisal efficiently? Charge seems straightforward (charge in / jump out & heroic leap) but I feel like I have trouble with how best to use intervene. Still new to warrior tanking but don't want to enforce bad habits
Having a melee dps in the group helps
ive heard something about using mouseover? would you reccomend? seems clunky to mid fight have to press the keybind, find my mouse, and click someone
I use party frames to target and intervene; you can use a mouseover
Mouse over has helped me quite a bit.
haha yeah just coming from Brewmaster i feel like i have ADHD playing this class, but I guess i just need more practice
not going super high end i just wanna be able to do like +10s and heroic raiding
Prot War with reprisal is interesting, since you are sort of zooming all over the place to get reprisal procs
it is BiS though, right?
Yeah, I'd say so
get cliqu (addon) lets you setup a mouseclick macro using any group/raid frames
For M+ yes, but The Wall is a decent substitute
ill check it out, thanks. actually about to build a whole new UI mine is garbage
Mouse over intervene is good if you're already using your focus frame for something else. If you're not just focus a melee and intervene em on CD (while actively getting meleed)
but depending on your lego, your talent build does change
For raiding specifically, would I be gimping myself using the wall over reprisal? I know for m+ reprisal is clear BiS but my main focus is raiding
Hey all i have a wee question. Checking wowhead and they advise Thunder lord for m+ but i see reprisal mentioned here and other parts of the guide. Just wondering if this is outdated
Might be outdated, reprisal seems to be general consensus BiS for m+ since 9.0.5 rework
Ah thanks π
No, you're fine.
Llarold can't be bothered to update non monk guides.
this server seems way better than monk discord, monk discord is full of a bunch of jerks
Well we are prot warr π
Most discords are like that...
Ifc we ware better than monks
Warrior mains tend to be like....very tempered and calm
Hey fukka youuuu we're mean
Brewmasters, Blood DKs are both lamenting the fact that they were recently smoothbrain FoTM BiS uberboys who now have to actually "press buttons"
we regulary spend our rage you wanna say? π
are Brew not still FoTM? Still feel like they are haha
I still prefer wall over reprisal for most fights kek
Brew are squishy as fuck
Brews are still good, but they arent what they were back in BFA
thats good to hear I might switch to wall. unless im pushing cutting edge stuff it shouldnt make that much difference and reprisal is a bitch to use so far
Even at cutting edge stuff those two leggos come down to personal preference/comfort and some other fight assignment details
I really enjoyed Brew tanking at the start of SL... for like 4 months. just so boring and same thing over and over
never experienced BfA brew though so
BFA brew was this, but with 1 more button, that didn't matter
alright enough about monks im gonna throw up. sword and board > fists
π
the real question is..... what Cov are you
the real answer is, it doesn't matter!
well if it doesnt matter... can i interest you in some 
48 hours, metric units
Im like one of those guys who at first didnt believe in god, then something happened, and now I must spread the word
Dude I'm so ordained by the kyrians at this point they invite me to their gender ambiguous bathhouse orgies
It's a good time
The stewards provide musical entertainment only
My vdh is venth
I hate Bastion and the Kyrian
I also barely play it
Todays the best day of the year
I can finally make shitty left field opinions
and when they;re proven wrong i can go
HAHA U GOT APRIL FOOLED
gotem
I got a joke for you; starting SLG prog tonight
Dying to necrotic is what other tanks do
Warriors face tank with 50 stacks
because reducing damage to almost 0 > healing yourself
I mean, depends if its fortified
I dont think Necrotic and Fort can be on the same week can it?
hasn't been the case this expac
im reasonably sure anyway
yea, it looks to always be paired with Tyrannical, but holy do they add the annoying affixes to it
Necrotic+Inspire, Necrotic+ Bolster, Necrotic+Spitful
WTB more bursting and volcanics
They said they fixed it
I guess my melee are greedy then
I would put money on "My melee isnt doing mechanics" basically every week
That crap is still pissing me off
M+ was the one place Melee could really shine
since Raids are generally scewed toward favoring Ranged stacking
this Xpac blizzard is like "Know what we need, an affix every week to fuck melee"
"Screw cleave groups!"
more than just an affix
the only class discords i like are Warr and paladin
I'm not sure that isn't a contradictory statement.

Target caps disproportionately targeting melee specs, Volcanic updated to spawn in melee more often, Storming, Spiteful, Sanguine still existing, Every dungeon has a "melee will die" mechanic on trash (bladestorms in hakar hallway, Thrash in HoA, buck in mists etc)
they just really said " we dont want melee to be fun ever"
The issue is that melee are fun to play
Thrash and Buck are actually the worst
casters are boring as fuck
I play with a holy pal
And it makes melee way too cluttered as is
as the only Melee dps
buck fun mechanic
taking 2 is impossible
TFW You don't just lock buck down with 
Yah i mean
"do the mechanic 4head" is the solution obviousl
the problem is that range doesnt have to "do the mechanic" or die
even your tank can ignore buck well into the high teens low 20s of keys
I Mean, a rogue complaining about an attack from a mob that is blindable/stunnable/gougeable
ranged don't have to do half the mechanics in m+ atm
fuck off dude
π
jokes Snoresville day 2
But yeah you point stands
always does
because there is a lot of "Bucking crap"
its extra lame too cause half them are like 30yd range
liek the exact where range doesnt have to try and ourange it and melee cant do damage during it
yea and they stand beside the tank
with curse of obliteration on them
cus they cba to interrupt
(β―Β°β‘Β°οΌβ―οΈ΅ β»ββ»

just increase attack range with melee spells 15 yds lul, fixed melee m+
we are the casters now
THey legit gave Unholy DKs a talent for this
you can literally be a "Caster" as a UDK
death coil π§
Yea, but who wants to cast dry Clawing Shadows without a wound
Been running range comp with my mates most of the season, but the storming weeks with 3-4 melee sure is fun
the range affixes feels like its a minor inconvenience while melee gets totally fucked over in comparison
Storming was okay when I was the only one in melee
and they still cant range thrash π
but with everyone in there filling up my screen with visual effects its worse and worse
I swear, I run with range that dont understand you can stand 40 yard away from thrash and not get it
Get new range :p
no ranged understands it unless ur in comms
I always hear "Im sorry, I was casting to stay alive"
Storming a) lasts too long and b) is way too ambiguous as to its path when spawning
Even in comms though
just dumb playr
My frustrating levels with those Glioaths goes through the roof
I felt a melee focused group are easier to be punished by spiteful rather than storming
atleast before people semi understood how spiteful worked
Finishing a cast is the #1 Ranged privilege pile of crap.
"Not only do I Never have to worry about mechanics, when I do have to worry about them, I make it the healers problem"
"Because my parse"
"uhh excuse me
How do you think we killed boss? Was it me not finishing a frostbolt?"
check mate
ranged simps will say it was the frost bolt
is there any amount of haste where I want to stop or just haste over all?
Am i trolling if i try to play prot as venthyr? I enjoy playing arms in pvp and fury in m+, cause condemn go brrr.. but if i wanna tank m+ it's clunky af.
As ven-prot, do you just play as if you have no covenant ability?
You can play any covneant and easily clear 15s :)
ven prot also brings a lot of single target dps
if you dont have to spend all the rage on ignore pain / blocks
any venthyr procs here?
single target Condemn is > Revenge + IP
venthyr procs?
I like venthyr prot, condemn can hit like a truck... then again my group is struggling on 14s and 15s because we're medicare players at best so take that with a grain of salt
what buffs?
vangar is getting buffed by 20%

π
Oh he means vanguard
I was like did I miss a new orc name
And yeah, that buff happened yesterday
Vangar would be a great warr name tho
lol
fax
TFW I Would've rather had a 20% damage increase buff than a mitigation buff
would allow for higher keys on prot
can only be so π§±
right
I'm ok with where our dmg is now prior to 9.1
Until I'm making DPS weep I won't be ok
If they overcorrected it would prolly shoot us to the moon next patch
I'm a cuck necro prot warrior so I'll never catch up to my dps
Just gotta b patient
the damage reduction is nice, I guess, didn't really notice it when we did our Tuesday round of failing keys π€£
Just go NF man
Don't do that banner life to yourself
It feels like the way PW scales with iLvl that 9.1 should make everything just feel better
Winter Queen simps 
Kyrian or venth better in pvp tho
Yeah I know venth is the optimal choice, but they use different stat prios
Wot
venthyr arms warriors stack crit and shit, and cba having different gear sets :p, maybe fae is the way to go. But not grinding renown just yet
For the love of god this meme needs to die
the entire concept of scaling?
we don't scale with ilvl any differently than other tanks.
K values will change in 9.1 so our "scaling" will be negated.
a HC dropped shield from 9.1 will mitigate roughly the same % Of damage vs a HC boss than a HC shield in 9.0 mitigates vs a HC boss.
we haven't "Scaled" in the concept of "gear gives more power than content" since Cataclysm
cheerfully withdrawn comment then
How is memory of past sins for m+?
Its one of my pet peeves, I see it all the time "Good thing warriors scale well"
There is some cymbal monkey at Blizzard repeating that up and down the cubicle farm is the reason why Fury was left a dumpster fire I'm sure
LMAOOOO
π―
Very meh
If you press aoe buttons the stacks will go on different targets iirc
But even if they all hit the prio target or bosses, the trinket doesn't do any more damage on aoe than on st and is not tuned that high to begin with
200 Vers/Haste necklace or 213 Mastery/Haste necklace Hmmmmm
the 213...
^
1k heakth us really that much better than 3% damage done and 1.5% less daamage taken
mastery isn't usless for mitigation or damage either..
I like when people compare like that "If I totally ignore this other thing, this thing is obviously better"
I'm gonna use 207 boe haste vers neck instead of huntsman mythic neck, you can't stop me π‘
Maybe I should stop being bad and learn to pvp
Praying for a haste vers neck in raid in 9.1
its like
he's talking 226
it's not that close
20 DPS?
No he asked an actual question, i wasn't serious
19 ilvl
2 diff convos lads
He said 200 vs 213
i'll fight you all at once!
Waat, you jumped into the middle of someone jumping into the middle of a convo
hold me back
yeah im debating between the 200 Pvp neck and the 213 Hunstman neck
@distant crystal but does your neck have haste mastery or haste vers
my neck has a beard
Neither will make or break you, 213 is ez because of more HP
1400 is ez clappers 207 bis stats is probably worth it
If you aren't going to do huntsman mythic then you could get 213 pvp at 1600
but eh just wear the necklace that make you feel good
I plan on hitting 1800 on my warrior whenever my 2s partner gets his disc geared
Pog
and then ill use the 220 Vers/haste
Level 50 gamer
The heart did nothing wrong?
