tilting hunk and nameless dont count
you can tilt them by breathing in their direction
soo I just have to say... prot warrior is the best tank ever! SO much fun!
๐
You're welcome
you have @ionic fern to thank for that
thank u @ionic fern 
Thanks Mwahi!
Does anyone know why my world ranking doesnt go up or down anymore?
your what where
On Warcraft logs, sorry, should've specific
all star points?
Yes sir
Ive been on SLG for 4 weeks, finally downed it, in that time I should have lost some rankings, but I havent
And I calculated it after my sludge kill, I should have moved far up, it's been stuck on 151 for 6-7 weeks
o thats weird
dont forget the patch has rolled in
so it splits it up, if you looking overall over the 2 patches
may not update
Ahh, that could be a good point @jagged pier So since I havent killed any other bosses than sludge and SLG past that patch, Im probably more like WR 1000
if u keep having issues ill just dump this here https://discord.gg/5c6cyu7e
Thanks โค๏ธ but I do think @jagged pier Was right, big sadge
just kill sire and reclear 
We had an hour on it yesterday, I already hate P1, hitboxes this raid has been terrible
I just hate the teleporting, couldnt he at least teleport infront of me instead of behind me
you can game it
by facing your back to where he is
as he is tping
so he tps infront of u
ye iirc we also had some issues with sire not TPing when our DH was taking him
weird
So p1 is just so BS because nothing is consistent yet
How far are you @jagged pier and how mnay weeks, just so I know what to expect
but on hc sire has never tp'd to the dh
double dick donnie should be a 4-6 raid night prog
well we are getting into phase 3now
so probs kill it on sunday
hopefully
then less than 100 wipes on sire is what ive heard
Yeah, a few p3 on SLG and its kill

How are u doing p2.5? Our intermissions have been so smooth and consistent since we changed tact yesterday
still working on it sort of rng
The shortest I can explain it in
1 keeps goliath, other keeps everything else, kill goliath, wait for soak, nuke the 5-6-7 Adds and go to dunk town
yer thats what we do
or try
but we havent been there often so we get like an eruption in the wrng place or somthing
It all depends if u can stagger some of the orbs u pick up
It's a bitch of a boss, Im happy I joined a guild with already 150 pulls or so in
So I have less than 100
Then you should be getting it soon as well
i just want SLG to end / progress this hasnt been a fun raid for tanks
or well for us at least as our dps want to care about logs and not do mechanics
so im basically sat there waiting for them to do mechanics
It's been very boring
And that's so true, half the time I spend waiting for people to do something so we can phase
the worst was artifcer, like we were doing good till artifcier
like dps have to finish that cast and get trapped
or not look under their feet and get trapped
yeah that happened quite a bit with my old guild as well
dont face away towards the portal so the ghost swaps inbetween the and the protal
had to finish the cast so got kill by the blue circle
All that fight was for tanks was a little bit of movement, and leap away charge back
like my cotank/gm was like please stop the tanks are literally so bored we are fucking up because we are legit doing somthing else during the pulls

Luckily we killed it in 1 night
like artifcer is the reason we are doing so bad this tier becuase OMG its a dps boss i must dps and not do mechanics
and a little bit of we arent gunna kill the boss tonight im not gunna try on like council and sludge
increased our prog time by a few nights
It's such an exponential curve, bad people are really bad
we arent bad tho
just ppl seem to care about there not getting PI
over them not doing mechanics
Let's cut the discussions short, PI the tanks :pog:
It is a known issue. No statement from blizzard so far. Taunt is working inconsistent on sire and his teleport.
like we were about world 500ish last expansion now world 2000ish because we cant do mechanics, its happened before hopefully fixed next tier, like the teams not bad, just every tier now and then they seem to forget that mechanics are thing and have to be done every pull
Classic multiple dollar company moments 
Small indie companie btw
Im on WR around 100 team 2 guild, so we also have good help from the first team
Promote me pliz, i wna b gud
well luck for some i guess
but as long as i get CE i dont really care
which we are still likely to get
and tbh i shouldnt be bitching to much like seems the guys heads are getting screwed back on now we ar on the last 2 bosses
and prog is going as fast as it should be
instead of not at all
Honestly after killing SLG I feel like we've done the impossible, Sire should be more fun and also be less raid nights
yer hopefully will be like that, im just sad that SLG is like this, lik eit could have been a really fun fight but its just not
It's all the "stop dps" long intermissions, it just creates an unfun fight
Anima power?
NF soulbind ability from 9.1
It took naowh 5 minutes to see this and report it as OP. Must be something wrong with the tooltip
oh, its actually updated, the one he read said you took 30% less damage when you are below 80% hp. might be this is inteded
Anything that gets us out of the kite-meta is good
Everyone should swap to necrolord just to spite them
negative
banner-party!
i like my vampire party
If i only picked venth to begin with.. i picker Kyrian and cba to farm renown
As if they can't just rework few of lackluster NF class abilities
And one pure garbage can
the boomkin in my guild last night was like now u can give me the buff for over a minute, i was like well number 1 it only extends for me and number boomy dead so i would give buff to someone else and number 3 i loose a lot of defensive value as dropping repirsal
oh it only extends on the warrior?
so many boomies crying themselves to sleep now
good
feelsgoodman
Im actually excited to see how many of them are still able to play their class without insane convokes. i strongly the majority has been carried by it
strongly think*

Checking parse logs would give you a better picture
The fire mage discord was arguing how they are not good at m+ anyway so its unneccesary to nerf their aoe lul
Jep. ๐ So even worse.
Why?
It's a boring one
ye true true
dh fits the meta very nicely. they can kite and get agro so easy, the rest of us gotta stand in the moshpit and hit stuff to get agro
Luckily we CAN stand in moshpit . ๐
That is true. But still, DH are very good at what they do well, which is not actually tanking that much but rather run around and make things chase
easy way to kill dh is to reduce their threat regeneration and let them stand more and kite less
Bliz has made some correct choices in making tanks 'more tanky' instead of nerfing DH, so I dont have a problem with DH being as they are
then where is buffs for other tanks
They recently got buffed.
+10% physical and +10% magical, was it? Thats pretty big
and makes it possible for other tanks to actually do what they do well, and we hopefully have an alternative to the kite-meta
but they giving same buffs to dh in 9.1
so
But the reason why DH has been so good is that you had to kite to survive. when you dont have to kite to survive i believe other tanks do that better then a dh
who cares
I might be wrong here, but thats what i've put together from watching MDI-players talk about why they play a dh
monkachrist that skulker's wing trinket is dangerous
curious to see how boring the MDI grand finals are gonna be
great push is for babies ๐ถ
at this point both tournaments are great push
cuz +20s are fucking rough to speedrun
idk about normal MDI anymore. was fun previously but now it feels bland
by the look of it its not only me who think so
omg what is wrong with people dps call tank suck while they cannot do more than 5kdps with bl on big packs in DOS
๐ฎ
its still the same formula, hence why its boring
They took all the fun out of MDI when they target-capped everything. besides cloth-users who can do what they want x]
yeah why have they insisting on battling players with stuff like aoe cap?
the pulls are also insanely impossible to even remotely emulate on live
in BFA you could atleast in low keys emulate big pulls on your own for fun
but now you need the same comp to do so cuz lmao target capping
and paper tanks
+1
we have stronger tanks tho in form av cardboard
the removal of big pulls has hurt M+ so insanely much its not even funny
and 9.1 looks like a terrible patch so far
Dunno why bliz do what they do, but they dont have the same view on 'fun' as the players
unless the seasonal affix and the scoring turns out to be amazing i dont think ill play it
instead of doing dungeons that feels fun they insist on make them obnoxious
Why Do we use AM with reprisal legendary and not bolster? Cant we stand longer in packs with bolster?
cuz Reprisal grants enough block uptime
think they believe players will appreciate the "challenge"
AM grants more damage and more uptime on SW
you could only argue playing Bolster in Gauntlet of SD
cuz of 7min or w/e of uninterrupted fighting
no
I'm not sure if its the dungeons themselves who are bad, or if the concept has just been used in so many expansions its not fun anymore. And the fact that they basically said you cant get good gear just form m+.. its just a horrible chain of decisions
Okej
Chain Pulling like a mad man is called being stupid
99% of dungeons dont even allow thast
dps usually think you should chain pull like a mad man in SD gauntlet
Mhm
Weird not to play with bolster๐
omg
All the years in bfa
dps are generally oblivious to mechanics in a dungeon
so in m+ its also simple to get used to
you still use LS like normal
and i going to pull for you and die from aggro and call you shit
just dont forget about charging
excactly @unique shale
"wtf how did i die there??!!" -dps who stands in fire and dont have their interrupt on their actionbar
Yea
"trash tank that dies im outta here not gonna carry this shit group anymore"
Im old and my muscle memory is deep
what are you using interrupt xD

dont have to change muscle memroy
really
just charge more often and intervene
๐
proceed like normal
but do 20% more dmg instead
I like that
Its tryhard, i know, but it just feels easier to interrupt stuff that kill me ๐ฆ
but you also barely tank anything in PF aswell
today im pugging as DPS, been interesting
3 mob pulls
we had 5min left and i did 6m overall damge
see how other tanks are doing stuff
but im not used to having to wait so long for groups to form ๐ฆ
Yea Im watching @patent osprey and crying 
also im not used being chased by shades
Being DPS gets memed on, but being a good dps, pumping numbers while doing mechanics is hard
me getting invite as melee dps 2 min later kicked XD
@hexed rune amen
I would argue harder than tanking. you just can get away with being a mediocre dps
cause you can lean on the other two
whereas a tank can't lean on anyone
just use leash trinket from huntsman
๐คฃ
That is true. Knowing when to 'pop your shit' and be prepared for mechanics/kicks etc is actually not that easy. The reason they are memed is because so many dps play dps because they dont want to learn how stuff works, they just want to press buttons and have good dps-numbers
mmm, kill the warlock
Is there a resource on bosspositioning? Sometimes i have problems with bosses like 2,3 on spires, 1 in HoA, Boss in the plague district of ToP etc
second boss in spires i like to stack her 1st and 2nd dead strides or w/e the fuck theyre claled, then i move her to the opposite side of the arena
makes the recharge phase trivial as fuck, hopefully shes dead before you have too much shit to dodge
1 in HoA, watch your Bigwigs/DBM timers for when the beams will come, move him in between the last pool of shit being thrown and the beams starting
I dont know if there's a resource or not, no.
It's something I struggle with too
i looked at one of my old vids the other day and saw i had a 2h, now im sad 
Also add target capping limiting half of dungeon pulls
@strong forum leave boomers alone my joints are hurting from getting out of bed nowadays
no bullying
You can generally see the most optimal way of tanking bosses if you watch high m+ streams like naowh or nerf etc
reprisal is better
how would I choose between SB and DT?
do you value a short CD ranged ST stop over more rage/SB uptime?
just learn to play with storm bolt imo
Double Time should come with a warning that it increases risk of Meleebrain by 100%
yooooo does that mean i get two melee brains???!!
i started liking dragon roar more(atleast for raid) and for m+ booming voice(wall) best served cold (reprisal)
Dragon Roar 
The higher you go, the more you will value additional cc and interrupts. Also highly beneficial to have it if you're pugging, no matter the key level as you can't always rely on randoms to even know any casts to kick and what interrupt even is
if you're pugging for ksm you'll want SB alot of the time because pugs do pug things
I dont ever pug tank except maybe one dps if someone cant make it and im nf so sb often goes nearly unused for me but for a large number of people its super invaluable
then you can double time your heart out assuming the dps you play with get interrupts
i only pug so the idea of not having stormbolt to save me terrifies me
i dream of a day i can run double time without fear
oi friends, m sire I think im better off using 220 sanguine vintage instead of 226 scale right, the 1m cd is just way more consistent right
dude trucks.
yer, we getting inted at 2nd pizza slice atm
we made to p2 couple times already
as first night progging it
so not bad i guess
need to get used to dmg patterns and proper soaks
i just think that p1 of sire is really bad designed lmao
For world content sure
:notpog:
By the way
Ahhh
im going to dive soon into 20's
I'm at 13% versa, im afraid that might be too low
my experience at 20-21s so far has been as healer so im not very used to how versa interact with the warr, but i asume its pretty valuable stat
(trying to aim for haste/versa on most of my items so far)
plka literally did 23s yesterday with 9% vers
13 % is more than fine
believe it or not its overvalued by a lot of people
dont worry about vers
So im mostly overvaluating it
100%
thanks then ^_^
yeah i know that ilvl>all
and ofc player knoweledge ๐
thanks for the tip guys 
if you commit to full vers stacking like a mofo, you will only end up getting like a 15% dmg reduction from it, its not going to make you magically tanky
yeah has lot of sense
And if one have already like 28% haste, better to go vers enchants and gems or stick with haste ?
i went with mastery gems and enchant cuz i want to critblock more often now that we have so high block uptime with reprisal
but technically you can safely continue stacking haste until 39% before ITF
So nothing really changed. Nice 
I honestly feel like i'm the only one who doesn't actively care about his stats. ๐
All these stat questions/concerns..
muh numbuhs
yeah
i just felt like 15% mastery was a bit too shabby, considering how much tankiness in m+ came from having 3x bom in BFA in m+ and also orgozoa
made me value mastery alot more
no rage in that pic ๐
best stat
I "cared" about stats back in 8.3.
S T A C K. M O R E. H A S T E

i kinda avoid crit but rest is fine tbh









I'm a paladin now







I wonder when will be the point when Vel just goes..
"Screw it..we already got most emojis, lets just allow globals".
That was the correct decision.
Do it
same ๐

๐


Been using it weeks. Emoji make happy.

Finally got ksm last night, so thanks everyone for answering stuff over the last few months. Makes me sad that getting ksm gets me 9th prot warrior on the realm to get it though when I'm just plebbing about being an idiot.
server ranking is all relative


I'm r1 server. AMA.
Especially on highly populated servers
Oh, i'm gonna go to Twisting-Nether and be an alliance so i can say
"I'm R1 on Twisting-Nether" but not mention that it's only on Alliance.
Why?

๐

come silvermoon
I am on Silvermoon on some of my chars.
nuke kazzak
You're not swede, greek or russian, but you'll definitely fit the Kazzak atmosphere
No, nuke draenor

kazzak is highly populated

If you are doing a +10, is it important when that red monster spawns? or does that only matter if you are running it on time or higher levels?
red monster ?!
prideful
after 10+ it does matter a lot
imean its not giga important, but it helps a lot if youve taken a look at MDT and planned what to pull so you can see where/when it will spawn
@unique shale but +10 is the earliest level it happens on right?
correct
i mean it depends how your group can handle it last time i did 10 everybody were hiting each other with arrows or tank spawning pride on a big pack
I was looking in the dungeon finder yesterday, but everything was like +15 or +17. Not many +4 or something ๐
cause you are going on alt to play some low keys and you get some noobs which sometime hurt your brain so many people tend to push or don't bother with m+
warrior is an alt for me, my main is holy priest but I am not too fond of doing dungeons as a healer, I only raid. But I've done some random heroic and timewalking as prot and it's been quite fun
but moving into M+ is very different
M+ pugging is pain and shady since people for real kick you for better heal,dps,tank spot
and if you are not a meta good luck
Maybe I should stick to timewalking, it does give a 200 ilvl item so it's a potential upgrade too ๐
in some slots at least
dont give up 
yes it is. you cant afford to spawn it in pack of mobs with low rio/ilvl grp

idk im doing 20-21s on dh and ~17s on warrior. im pretty sure it is easier to find grp on my warrior.but im ally so idk bout horde
i sign up for 18 and i only get decline and later on isee they have pala or dh as their tank
sometimes bear or dk
but no warrior
unless they run their own key
seems like bad luck
Warriors had bad rep at very stary of xpac and community can br slow to change, but the groups that dont recognize they are a good tank are bullets dodged
yeah and i timed one 18 even tho so there is no reason to not invite me unless it is class problem
0 motivation to push beyond weekly keys atm

Hope the scoring system let's em do in game rewards for 20s
will be nice
Not rly
nope its okeyish for s2

I did do some M+ on the priest last expansion because it was in a guild group and we were on teamspeak so they could explain what the affixes actually do. I remember the first M+ I ever did in BfA was a +15 ๐
This is STATISTIC ๐ช
Everything scales but there should be enough borrowed power gains to bump keys a few levels
Ew TC
bfa vibes
TC got put on time out for what it did during bfa
but ravage dose TC work in sl accept need more rage for it
you mean revenge or ravager? ๐
are we still rocking thunderlord for M+ tanking
no
Yeh
no one asked, but settled on Pwarrior as my tank out of the 4 I have. just hit 219 ilevel and have been pushing io, and now that I am gettign used to reprisal its night and day. like allot of time i just dont take dmg
๐ nice, i love it too
im a bit out of the loop, would the new glory leggo be competitive in m+?
way too early to tell
it sounds great for DPS so maybe for a raid where 2 tanks are needed but 1 only for a short period it might be a nice DPS increase, imagine getting PI as well to extend glory even longer
but yeah I agree, loosing defensive legendaries probably not worth it
not at the moment no
unfortunate
that would be the 1 thing that could make it viable
the new leggos look terrible for m+
venthyr one probably good for raid I guess
combine it with the last stand rage multiplier and you can probably keep it up for the first 20% and last 20% no sweat
that's only is 15sec buff for w.e reason
Both block and unnerving rage increase don't extend with the Lego, you only get the last stand health extending
which is like 
positive interaction would be both fun and logical
not thought through at all
so no
"yep, ship it!"
lol that's underwhelming
totally useless then
buffs indomitable healing by 30% while active 

checked my maff?
if your indomitable is healing you for 0 you need to see a doctor
oh well compared to other classes selfhealing
if it doesn't increase the duration of the bolster SB or the rage gen then it's just extra max health, which isn't really useful for us given that we aren't really in danger of getting globaled
and if we are a real defensive legendary would be better
I mean, it would be pretty nifty for someone like a BDK
where your max health does matter
fond memories of basically permanent Vamp in legion
how are people more excited about stinky poopoo vampire garbage legendary than the one that makes AA fuck
Literally viagra for furries
AA didnt even need viagra
and here it is
I mean, a bit more KD on casters is nice but I can't think of a situation in m+ I'd run that over reprisal
and I'm kind of doubtful it's that meaningful in ST
the banner one might actually be the winner there for raid?
assuming you have 3 buddies with good mastery scaling
@shut summit does the new lego extend the duration of the conduit? 18% strength
only extends the buff on yourself rn
looks at what they're doing to fire/boomie/aff
Maybe if you have 3 UHDK buddies?
it gives an extra friend to get the buff
yeah but still...
it's not like the other leggos we have right now are amazing dps!
50% increase in buffs is probably the winner there
the main worry is if they just nerfed the hell out of the big mastery bros
im sitting ont he wall right now, and hesitant to craft Reprisal, or wait for the new banner lego. I am looking forward to seeing more changes / theory crafting on this.
I hope the buffs are increased during the whole time the buff is actives
the dot literally doubles AA damage
double? you sure?
still working rn haven't checked onto PTR yet
on tooltips the dots about 250% atatck scaling over 6s
wasn't it "just" the extra dot thingy?
the hit is 220
it also extends the earthquake effect by 3s
which in turn makes that do more damage too
and also gen more rage etc
yeah but the rage gen is horribly low compared to repsirsal and wall
right now it's 220 + 4*35, would get 1 more hit of 35 + dot
wowhead says 13.83% AP *3 scaling
per stack
what positional problems
ur the fucking tank
and you're not running REprisal
jsut fucking dump that shit
well, there are DDs
so it's what, compounding?
there are weird DDs
but yeah I think the AA legendary still has to compete with seismic in M+
and I can't see seismic being overtaken by it for that
Sure
I feel like most of the covenant leggos have effects that would be awesome as supplementary
But its the only one that does anytihn
Condemn leggo is useless for prot
LOL if you're considering glory
Which is why I hope you can slap em on top of existing
Kyrian TBA
this, their effects should just be given to you and not compete with the normal legendaries
maybe that'll be how they handle double leggos this expac
Since that feeling seems to be somewhat consistent across the board I do wonder if that is their plan here.
yeah, if the AA dot compounds it could be crazy damage
it probably wont work like ignite, if thats what you mean
how about other classes?
god it's awkward to calc as it looks like it's every 2s and reapplies every 3s
nah, just with stacking
the *3 just means it does x% 3 times over Y seconds (not accounting for haste)
I've heard similar things but it's still early I guess
I imagine it'll work like agony
Watch the kyrian one pump spear dmg and add a knockdown
Or...holy shit
Make it grip in things within like 10 yds of the effect
oh my pog dude
or they make the effect 2 yds bigger and give 10 more rage
Blizz plz
Honestly even if they just give it a root effect after it ends
Shh
I'll be pogged
make spear silence
@wanton condor if they make AA root?
Basically adding anything to spear will be gravy
spear is melee CC, AA is caster CC, they won't give either of them both niches
unless they want to be legends...
I love spear, but I feel like it really doesn't solve the problem I want in m+
while AA often does, and positioning isn't as big an issue when I'm using it for mucking up casters
then go NF
pot on the other hand is a godsend and I've missed it since I started my world tour
NF is fun
I did!

doing venthyr next
sb has good tanking nameplates ?
my issue with venthyr is that while condemn is super sexy looking, I find the battlelord playstyle on arms to be more fun and it's just a nothingburger for tanking
the arms dream is enduring blow + surge tbh
well my arms drema is
nvm i forgot how condemn works ignore me
I like battlelord because the gameplay feels a lot more responsive, with everything flowing into the next skill
I think the real answer to covenant is Necrolord. Everybody knows Banner is the way to go
70-85%
75-85 %
Depending on how greedy I play
is that from details or logs?
logs
yee, sounds like youre not utilising reprisal enough
can you check what you took unblocked hits from?
as in, what mobs? i dont think so
oh found it
can sort by mitigated at least
i seem to have lower blocked % against single targets
prides and bosses etc
Makes sense
against trash it's like 80-90%
against pride it's 50%
maybe should figure out how to charge weave on those neater
When they apply the debuff on others you can run out and charge
That's where they stand still
so immediately at the start of the application of the lines?
When the mob turns away
when it turns at someone
Ye
ok yep
That's when it won't follow you for like a global
Hey i got Q, what ability give you extra 1 sec on active shield block?
Shield slams with heavy repercussions
ahh i see
watching now andybrew on prot and was thinking how he get extra shield block
her take this ability then AM and Nolster
he's not taking heavy repercussions
the extra shield block you see is from the charge legendary
memeing
been any ptr updates for warr?
Nop
81% is just reprisal uptimes
like taking HR isnt giving him that much
Should i look for offwnsive or defensive trinkets getting slowly into the +10ish keys?
Blood Spattered Scale. Donโt listen to anyone that says otherwise.
I know but what teinkets until im lucky enough to get scale?
Assuming it's to early and no one has been testing out the covenant lego for venthyr and how much uptime you can pump into last stand with it?
Anything will work. Thereโs no GOAT trinkets other than Scale IMO
I went offensive and have no issues averaging
And sunking trinket!
Face tanking lol
emitter, spike, heraldry are all great
but yeah, depending on your ilvl ofc you will be fine with whatever trinekts you have
Just looking at that lego with Bolster and the conduit for rage generation while last stand is active you would be able to pump so many condems into the active LS
it only increases the HP increase, so atm its pretty bad
(aka we dont extend bolster or unnerving focus)
So basically it comes down to personal preference until i get bis trinkets
more or less. i was playing viscera for the longest time even tho its horrible, and i did just fine
trinkets are not whats gonna hold you back
Oh shit that sucks if so. Really hope that changes as it could lead to a really strong offensive build without saccing to much defense
Anything with stats is generally pretty good. Hymnal is nutso if you can get it 200+
Phial is a very strong damage trinket
Iโm running spike and SLH, havenโt had any issues yet.
yeah cause ur trinkets dont matter tbh
they're either "the good ones", a stat stick, or damage throughput
is the beating abomination core a half decent tank trinket?
my other options are a 194 sanguine vintage, an inscrutbale, or an overwhelming power crystal
eughh, i would probably play core and sanguine then, to avoid double on-use. IQD is super rng and the crystal is mainly a dps trinket but if you dont mind double on-use and wanna pump a bit, crystal+vintage
Probably core and power crystal unless you are really struggling with survivability
are all these options and the core 194?
is seismic good for sun king?
seismic us good everywhere you have 3 or more targets and want to do big dam
Truth. I swapped Niya and ITF/BV for MSKS prog
and dont forget to shattering the first and last shield
no
only thing that matters on that fight is boss dmg
guys i have a question about the PTR there is this legendary new for warriors specific to the coven and this one from the Venthyr says that covenant increases the duration of Last Stand by 4 sec but this for each condems spam? if this were the case it is very relieved you would have a duration in more 4 sec of last stand if talented you would have consequently a duration of Shield Block increased by 4 sec right?
last stand only at the moment
currently doesnt extend the shield block from bolster

How does Demo shout interact with bleeds? I get a bleed, then shout, is the existing bleed impacted by the 20%dr, or only if I shout before the bleed is applied?
when its active its reduced, when it falls off its back to "normal" values
no snapshots
But it dynamically updates. Dope, ty
So it only extends the most useless part of the "defensive" that's not even really a "defensive"

Im hoping its a bug and its meant to extend everything
They'll fix it on a later iteration of the ptr
๐
And then its condems all around
The feel when you get a socket item
so you don't have to go to the maw and do stupid quests to farm the socket for it

I don't got that feeling. Cuz I didn't think I would be doing mythic
and now I get to farm sockets
Acceptable pain though
Blizz agrees, gave me bis neck in GV before I accidentally socketed the huntsman one from weekend
(pukes in mouth at "bis" neck)
I hope it's not a bug and it remains like it is.
Just fix the UNnerving focus part but leave Bolster out of it.
I have a really small question. What is the usual ilvl at which pugs won't throw up in "OMFG YOU'RE SO LOW YOU'RE RIGHT OUT OF NORMAL DUNGS GO FARM HEROICS" in M0's?
If they also make it extend Bolster it's going to be broken and become a problem down the line especially when we can use 2 legendaries.
Probably like 250 or something.-

i know M0's are so easy that they were done right after hitting lvl60 on launch, but i dunno how bad the pug situation is rn
this makes me regret all the things I've done between the moment i've moved on from my Kazzak guild to December
I started entering 10's with 204-205 ilvl
but only because my main rio score was shown
and it was thursday so they were desperate i assum
could be worse, you could be trying to pug keys as an arms warrior
i didn't try tanking till after 9.0.5 with the reprisal changes, went from spending a minimum of 1 hour getting rejected by groups to barely get into a 10 key at 215+ilvl to nearly insta-invites on 15 keys as tank
same but prot warrior on launch. That was horrendous

I can believe that
i didn't wanna play prot on launch because of how it looked/seemed lol
losing a guild and a push group is the worst thing that can happen
with the wall legendary being your best one felt so boring
it was actually pretty good
i guess i should clarify, it seemed boring-ish to me
reprisal brought more of the fun aspects I was looking for like zipping around charigng/intervening and shit
and the revenge damage
also the seismic change, granted haven't played with it yet
still wish i could play arms more though
time to do some old as fuck shit i guess
i love parry-vening our tanks

damn that ui is crisp
out of curiosity, could Kleia be used as a more dps oriented soulbind because of the 5% passive crit over pelagos' passive magic DR?
M0's were easy as fuck on launch to the point of being doable by fresh 60's
it's sure as hell easy rn
I'm still doubtful we'll ever get 2 leggos outside of a last patch free for all
^
i have a guildie who was tanking on his 130 pally, and tanking up to M+5
its probably gonna be a covenant one and a regular one if we get 2 leggos
140 holy pala with DH who didn't even think to kite. Just as i expected, M0's are still easy as fuck
I mean, should M0s not be easy?
always have been really easy
i was just double checking on the topic of pugs being toxic as usual
oh lel
smh got normal people this time around
fun part is when you get super overgeared dps for m0 with your fresh tank toon and can't hold aggro on anything

oh it is
well, i just had fun watching DPS catch every single puddle and cleave
and heal this up
since it's M0, it's not a problem(Just as it surely won't be a problem in keys before +17 or so. I guess so)
but what would be in higher keys...

somebody else experiencing people instantly leaving groups when people invite another tank except demon hunter :D? it s ridonciolous! 
ohhhhh i have dds getting nearly one shot by cleaves etc. on +7/8 while grinding valor. it is super fun. areas of +4-+12 are pure anarchy!
2 retri paladins were demanding in a +8 to get the bossmechanic explained before every boss
because they didn t know they should kill worms at boss 1 in necrotic


this is why ret chats on HoW are the way they are
they were also pumping incredible 1.4 and 1.6k overall
beast i tell you BEASTS
the divine uther was working through their hands i could tell!

asked a priest to mind soothe, they used MC instead and after it broke he ran towards us with 4 mobs so we wiped
epic
I've had to go tank for sludgefist mythic, not really tanked mythic bosses before, over our pulls tonight (down to about 50%) I'm averaging ~79% mitigation going by WCL, does that seem alright? DTPS around 4.7k (over entire night)
how many blocked hits
Not sure how to filter for that tbh
Oh dear, how high should I be aiming?
sludge has a good amount of downtime where you dont need to use SB
like stomps and charge
idk, most people are running reprisal and getting close to or reaching 100% blocked hits on sludge
Would you be letting SB sit at 2 during charge just pooling for damage phases?
nah id use a charge for SS damage
as youll get it back for when he's attacking again
Yeah that's what I've been doing, alrighty so gotta work on the SB uptime, thanks for the heads up ๐
out of curiosity, for lower keys (15s) would kleia be better as a more damage focused covenant instead of pelagos b/c of the % crit trait at the end? or is pelagos still beter b/c double potency?
pelagos is better cuz of double potency and cuz of the mastery
This is running The Wall
It's a very set rotation of his casts
Use both shield block charges at the start, run out during slam go back in, use shield wall not block as he'll chain slam and you're going to waste a lot of shield block value if you do and putting shield wall on CD is more valuable when running The Wall anyways, block once that runs out then leave melee during stomp and start moving towards pillar with your cotank
Rinse and repeat
Chain slam is a big bait
It's fine to take an unblocked hit or two if a mechanic is about to come up that would waste your shield block cast
That's very helpful, much appreciated!
Is there a preference of which tank should be taking the melee hits? Co tank is a vengeance DH
you can also run bolster and just pop it on pull and on every other pillar and you have SB up until next pillar ezpz
The same either way
You both get hit for the same amount
Pre mitigation
Giant fists is just a carbon copy of the melee hit
What's got me worried now is that I've obviously got a lot of issues and extra damage taken, and I'm still taking much less than the other tank
what soulbind yall run for NF prot war?
Niya for raid but on SLG I run Korayn
Korayn for m+
Big dam
ah ok so exact same soulbinds as fury warrior then
makes sense
im guessing also run teh crit chance as prot?
Man I am way over using ignore pain it seems like
2x my indomitable healing on every pull
Do I want to demo shout immediately on pull or when shield block runs out?
I'd use it to cover when shield block is down or when you know there is heavy damage inc
just mash it on cooldown really
unless youre not taking damage and is not talented into booming voince
Switching to am was a very gut decision
Bolster should be baselined
With AM at 220 (using TW) im averaging 3.6k dps which I think is really good for me
Is there any sense to punish specifically on SLG Mythic? I am the tank that is holding Kaal during the entire first phase and intermission, and though I am not dying if we clear at 3 stacks during the first crystallize of the first intermission, it gets dicey if we try to do the no tank clear strat, or if things just go wrong.
Obviously Devastator is generally superior for damage and rage gen (Which leads more defense AND offense) but with the nature of the bleed damage from Kaal (and it being a single target source of damage to me), is the upside of punish enough?
I've been fury all xpac and am going prot for the first time. I have 27% master/5% vers -- at what m+ level will I start to feel the lack of vers?
22/23
We're progging Mythic SLG atm, and I've mostly been running Devastator still. I don't see the value in Punish pushing it above Devastator.
Anyone on PTR know if the "Extends last stand 4 seconds" also extends the Bolster passive Shield block?
Ive seen others in here post that it does not, nor does it extend the extra rage regen from conduit
yep, this is correct
Ah. makes sense. it would be fucking stupid if it did
generally just sat here like, Yo if that shit did wtf 2k hps shields on average, more rage generation and 100% block.
condemn*
I also rarely use revenge when it's not free, and spend most of my resources defensively, so generally speaking I use my CD's to fill the gaps between shield blocks
There really shouldnโt be much downtime
Unless you do this, which isnโt necessary in most situations
I'm also an old-school tank
Especially now that you can run reprisal
back when a tank's job was to make the healer's job as easy as possible
and DPS was for the rest of the raid to do.
Like 2004? lol
Most of the time just shield@block will be enough, better off getting the additional damage out
Packs die faster, less healing
Easier job for everyone
Ignore pain is great but itโs not something you neeed 100% uptime on
Iโd say it to even out magical damage or for this few moments when you know shield block wonโt be enough, assuming youโre not walling or using last stand
What are the percentile ranges of blue parses?
I've noticed that while tanking on my warrior my shield seems to break much faster than the rest of my gear, does using shield slam/shield block actually cause it to take additional durability damage?
Maybe need more time doing legs to get them up to par and skip a few arm/upper body days at the gym
I've noticed the same thing
For me, it's always shield first, then weapon and headgear
Yo bois, if i can't drop the Kael trinket what 2nd trinket should i use for m+ Right now i use anima field, but i also have PF phial, Decanter from SD. I can upgrade any m+ trinekt but sadly i dont have any raid trinket. Im progressing 18/19'
I think thereโs probably something in the code that makes your shield take damage every time you block an attack
I'm happy with my gluttonous spike and my scale, but I'd be willing to get the one that revives you in place of the spike
If itโs progression Kael and scale are pretty clutch
thatโs what I use for pushing
The thing is there is no way to farm Kael and i haven't dropeed it yet. I use 220 Scale but not sure what can i use in 2nd slot
Oh misread, when you said canโt drop thought you meant didnโt want to lose it from your kit
Not canโt drop as in wonโt drop from raid
Farm LFR?
I came back 4 weeks ago and so far no luck from lfr/hc/norm
dang
People like decanter for fortified week as far as I've seen
I don't have one, mostly on anima field
When you replace a 15 SD with a timed 19 SD 

Buncha guildies talkin' about PTR tomorrow..wtf is going on?
@signal plover You've killed SLG yea?
Hey I got a question for y'all, is there a way to see critical hits(to the back) from a boss on warcraftlogs?
68-69
super noob question inco
but beside ignore pain what can I use my rage for when off-tanking
revenge
condemn 
still after all these months whenever i see the letsgoo all i think of it CRAWING IN MY SKIN
These WOONDS they will not HeAl ChAmPiOn!
there's a weakaura for that for every single instance req %
really?
yus
works in SD, PF, SoA and NW
but i know my routes now so i never look at it anyway, but it is useful if u dont have routes you follow
When I I tank, every group member is ready to yell at me .
No this way stefan
No this one
well i just pug so
i just link my route
then if ppl bitch i just say well you could link your own
I need to mak routes or copy some
but then they shut up after that
yesterday i was pretty miffed was doing a 19 HoA and some dumb fuck pulled
extra
so i had to adapt on the fly
was not nice
they even got me to link my route like 4 times
then they still go and pull extra -.-
I mostly run 14 -15 keys .
Thank God I stopped going hardcore in wow . Burned me out over the years and now I kinda relax in raids
But it still is a nice thing to find other ways or other methods to improve the playstile
Even a little
God admit I'm thankful this discord server lives. So many things to learn
And try :D
The PUG life is always have a back up plan for when someone pull extra
@jagged pier you kill SLG already?
You guys run mythic right ?
Why is hymnal such a good rated trinket? Isnt strength better than a secondary statboost? Is the effect so strong to neglect like 60ish strength?
yes
because the damage proc is stupid OP
Isn't mythic slg the hardest boss ?
yes
Oh damn
Only thing I can do to help Is give words of encouragement
You guys can do it !
cheers i needed that its not a fun fight at all
Slg alone whatever difficulty isn't nice yep
But when he's done you guys have mythic basically clear
So smear that stone blood all over the ground like a true warrior my comrade!
did they fixed sockets from bfa?
how does "Safeguard work" ? does it add dmg reduction ON ME when using intervene on a ally or enemy?
on the ally
okay, only worth for the higher keys i guess?
if u have a finesse slot that or rally
yay got a new trinket so i can ditch that extremly dangerous skulkers one
killed me more than once being ported into some weird spot
like infront of tentacles in PF
What is the go to soul bind for NF prot? Iโm finally gonna switch after this push week. Referring to keys.
First strike dude is where it's at
niya with burrs or korayn with first strike
hi guyz
