oh, fuck off. Not taking excessive damage is on DPS and you


why is prot pally excluded?
a lot does not make sense on that list
but thats ok
just smile and wave boys, smile and wave
its based upon the bottom 50% of played specs
lots of people play Prot Paladin apparently
But for us cultured few, we see Ele Shaman, Fury War, and Prot War in there and are like 
oh wait, they changed arms and fury
and added BM hunter
So destro Frost Assa/sub + prot + priest
so literally the exact same thing just with the scuffed versions of each class
Frost MAge's aoe legendary does more damage than frost dk does in its entire kit
destro lock is budget firemage
havnt seen one of dem yet
yeah cause its budget firemage
the locks I play with go Demo XD
imagine everything you do now
Except combust is every 2 minutes and is replaced with many green boys
Most keys I run we dont have a Fire Mage XD
I'm sorry for your loss ๐
Only run with the bois
we go as high as we can with what we got
TBH, our most common comp is Prot War, Ass Rogue, WW, MM hunter, and Restro Druid XD
i didnt know ppl still played hunter tbh
Hes been a hunter for forever
And if he can play it well, I see no problem
but we're super excited to give this event a go ๐
just as understanding of "meta" but 99% of the community doesn't make sense

Note: In order to determine the eligible specs, we looked at the Timed Run Leaderboards for all of Shadowlands Season 1, sorted by Class Frequency, and showing Mythic+ Keystones at levels 10 and higher. We looked at each role separately (tank, healer, DPS) and took the bottom half of participating specs per role, as can be seen by the following graphs:

I just swapped back to tanking on my war. What % uptime are yall seeing on SB with the reprisal leggo on average?
80+ generally
Cool thanks I tried it for the first time last night and got 73. Was just wondering what I should aim for
If you're not dying the uptime is high enough, tbh
haha good point

why spend rage on SB when you can toss it into Revenge?
sorry... forgot the /s
Yeah this was a rough week to start tanking again...

nah
just learn how to kite
otherwise your healer will just leave from the dung]
immediately
on first pull after seeing you doing shit
Is Pulsating Stoneheart any good?
Kleia immunity is so nice this week in M+
Not really
didn't think so
Just marry your healer to remove this as an option
this implies 2 things
1: your healer is interested in you in some way
2: you even find a healer
- You have a good prenup
crap, i knew I forgot step 3.
Reason for divorce? He refused to kite properly and i got tired of dealing with his shit.
you could probably remove the part about refusing to kite properly...
๐
me: How's mana? her: I need to drink. me: Charge!
My wife called my prot pal paper thin in a 10 the other day I was like WOMAN IM 177 ILVL IM DOIN MUH BEST
her: "why do you ask about my mana if you're just gunna pull"
my charge button/keg smash button is trigger happy... depending on what toon i'm on.
Into the fray, ravager ? when to take which and why
On necrotic week no less... my guess is she takes more than half at that point
sim it for raid cos dps
ravager in m+ cos yuge threat+rage gen on short cd
@coral kayak basically fray is for raiding for better overall mitigation (your melee dps tend to get mad if you try to kite a raid boss) and ravager is for M+ so you can generate good early threat and kite if you have to. Ravager dps is also kind of lackluster on 1 target.
Nice, thanks
@sweet summit u got any prot themed riddles
any what
A Prot Paladin?
heh
whats your keybind for cancel aura ?
i taped it onto execute
unless its a cancel bop aura
in which case i just ban any paladin that bops me ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Im looking for a tank to pick up in 9.1, I heard that warr will be the next vengance, how things looking for the spec next patch?
๐ฎ
pin something then, Im trying to find info about it
So aggresive
say this then, that so far no idea
where are people getting this from? ๐ค
then pin it and there will be no next me asking ๐
I've seen a few people say prot is the meta in 9.1 across multiple servers
Some streamers probably picked up Prot Warrior.
Like this?
All of a sudden realised that "Oh look..Prot is actually strong". ๐
Bear next meta for sure 
Yea, Nerf is high on Prot War right now and i know Andybrew is now playing Prot War
You have any idea how many people come in here having not read any of the pins already??
You should read the pin
on reading pins
lot of rumors going around saying that prot will be a brick wall, eating all phisical dmg like they did in bfa last patch
they already do this
We have been doing that for a while already
I heard it in the titanforge podcast
what's a pin?
mate, if you're here for meta, you're on a wrong discord

check the pins
most people here play pwarri as they enjoy the spec

i've played all flavors of tank, shifting to pwar because it's in my top 2 fav to play, along with brew
Check the check the pins pin
DH is a poo class for poo players.
what kind of abomination plays prot war when it's not in the meta YIKES
I like brew but they feel really squishy, but I'm probably bad
@ionic fern How do I grow a proper Protection warrior beard?
I mean, there's nothing wrong in asking. So it's fine.
I guess it will be more of a topic now that some of the streamers finally realised that prot is good.
been main lining brewmaster since 7.2 and needed a break from it ๐
No!!! I dont want to be meta
You are either born with it or not. ๐
"nerf prot!" Incoming
This is stupid balancing
so far there are no meaningful changes for us in the next patch. We are fine right now, but objectively the least popular tank in high keys, and until/unless casters stop being the meta for DPS, Chaos Brand is going to be a lot more valuable than Battle Shout
Not sure Iโm going to focus on tanking yet, but very interested in it. That said, warrior is Venthyr. Is that a good cross class covenant or should I look more into Kyrian?
It's almost like.....8.0 all over again

Cov Choice plays very little in your ability to tank. Choose the Cov you like. NF is stonks though XD
Jeah. ๐
thank you
Warriors in general are one of the few classes that can do just fine with any covenant
Venthyr offers maybe the least value to tanks, but it's still not bad, and has good tank soulbinds
Guys does the "go for itemlevel" hold true on items without Strength on them like neck and rings?
All tanks in general are very versatile when it comes to covenants, since 99% of your surv comes from playing the game
back when kyrian covenant swap was bugged, I ran a full heroic on my monk without a soul bind
It really didn't feel impactful not having it.
yes, just not quite as strongly
crit and mastery are still useful stats
You can drop like 10-15 ilvl on necks and rings
But then the raw amount of stats will 100% outvalue any possible stat combinations
have a neck on ilvl 210 with 70 crit and 120mastery and one on ilvl 207 with 130 haste and 50 mastery
Haste
haste
Yes
99% of the time yes
interesting okay
I like the haste into the fray gives and it makes the rotation smoother, am i loosing much by not going ravager ? Wont so more than 15s tho
You will lose rage gen, aoe dmg and an additional threat generator
But it doesn't matter
It won't make or break anything
Cool thanks
Honestly I doubt warrior is ever gonna hit meta levels of popularity. Even during EN when we were objectively OP by miles we were still one of the least played
Fuck em
werent we meta in bfa
Only in m+ tho keep in mind
What else is there?
As soon as you tried to step into raid, people thought pwar was fucking weak
Was hilarious
Raid tanking is a snore
OP TANK NERF WTF LMAO CAN'T COMPETE
But also don't step into raid pwar is weak
Fucking community perception is so far gone regarding tanks
That was a thing?
I get it if the guy sucks
But how much of a difference does a tank make in a raid?
People lost their raidspots as pwar in bfa because they were pwar
Stupid people don't know that
But at the same people complained how broken pwar is for m+
And they still complain in other discords that they're happy pwar wasn't God tier so far because "we had our time for too long in bfa"
and also lost their raid spots at SL launch because they were pwar
and so on and so forth
it's perpetual
Pwar is by default the least popular tank unless its "the best" in something, and as bfa showed, even then people will still think its shit for raiding
I wouldnt think much on tank balance in raid TBH; the 'meta' tank is determined mostly by which DPS are strong and which are weak
people think dumb things
read: tank scaling with gear
^
Way too many people care about it
its dumb
Like you see it so often, even in this discord early on
or rather, they dumb
"can I play X tank in heroic raiding?"
Like bitch yes wtf
Doesn't even matter for mythic
TRUE
I neeed a heeero
Ye isnโt tank meta based on which debuffs you want to bring
And how good the associated dps / healers are
Like if havoc is crazy good they wonโt bring vengeance
Prot warrior brings the debuff "Not Meta"
I mean, it was pretty meta for limit
"reduces chance to be invited in pugs by 99.9%"
people think dumb things [2]
read: everything below 220 is not enough for +15
but what do they know am i right

They brought prot warrior for world first
tank meta is usually defined by what the WF uses to abuse the race
then people who still dont have CE think they have to use the meta
You can do 15s comfortably at 200 if people are actually good at the game
i mean Limit ran Prot War and DH whereas as Echo I believed ran Brew and DH
But thereโs no way to gauge that with pugs
like, it can be done in 180 with absolute comfort
Limit was high on WW whereas Echo thought War DPS was going to be swag
So I'm an experienced tank but I'm new to warrior because my raid group needs a warrior instead of a Demon hunter. I'm conflicted about covenants. NightFae has a decent ability with a good movement but Necrolord has a great ability but the shield is okay. Any advice?
idk about absolute comfort. it's possible but the dps checks might be rough on certain weeks
tbf if your whole team is 180, you would need extremely easy keys to get by
you take for the main skill, not the auxiliary
i think for tyrannical in particular being undergeared hurts more
yeah, but rn i've been doing +12-14 keys in fucking 170 as a healer. With no issues, topping everyone off reliably
@grand sierra night fae
in orgnaized gruops or in pugs
idk why people so obsess over "undergeared" healer when they can't dodge shit themselves
and also healer output is very rarely the bottleneck for whether you can clear something
yeah, but healer's job gets easier when everyone else is geared
ye
you wouldnt be able to get KSM with a 180 tank
in pugs. Problem is: if you're pugging as a healer, get ready to constantly triage these shitters
idk i think a difference in ilvl for healer mostly just determines how mcuh dps you can squeeze out
i agree a 180 healer can probably cover easy affix 15s
Necrolord isn't even close to the same dps you get from night fae even if you maximize the banner buff it would be close, but maximizing the banner is super hard. And generally the mobility of soulshape will always be more useful than the flesh craft shield/dr (I'm rank 3 all-stars in raid just swapped to necro to farm renown to 40 and I'm immediately swapping back)
they just won't be contributing much damage
and will also be more punsihed for making mistakes themselves with their tiny health pool / verse whatever
also have to think about the new legendaries coming for the covenants
too early to think about that
we don't even know most of them
like that's something i'd consider a month before patch drops
not now
The new necro one is good for sure
But you can always swap later, he'd asking for now
that's what imean, making a decision on your cov now could completley be changed by these legendaries
like yes, dont consider them as is in their current state
but consider them as another variable that could affect your decision
I don't really see a ton of value in the banner legendary other than for pure damage though as well
You could
Its just not worth the effort
Wait for blizz to fix that goddamn venthyr leggo
Maybe it will be fun then
you could comfortably clear 15s if play is good

obviously you can get by with 4 210s and a 180 tank/healer
it prob depends on the tank too
I really like the necro but I'm coming from a jumpy DH so I was concerned about movement
some scale a lot better than others defensively
Don't need dh levels of movement cuz you can actually tank
And not play a game of hide and seek 50%+ of the time
that too
True, Warriors have a lot more defensives besides Diablo and spikes
2 charges + leap was always enough for me too
Daily reminder that llarold can get cucked

Is there a charge to a person marco/mouse over ?
could you explain
did they already nerf it?
doesnt extend unnerving focus iirc
Nope.
yikes
still 400 mastery for a long time though
Tldr "oh no necrolord specific legendary is definitely OP because it extends things that it doesnt"
so theres that.... i guess

yikes
if they 'fix' it to extend unnerving or bolster
then it'd be godtier
it can get nerfed at any point in time. + "Analysing" that early is a way to kill yourself
you necro now?
NF ftw
I'm thinking they will make it extend Unnerving.
Hopefully not Bolster tho. ๐
why?


idk
but..
bored
Y'know the same thing he did with reprisal "Omfg this lego is so broken OP dummy powerful"
It's probably still pretty good because it gives an extra player the banner buff
^
The only reason Ive thought about going back Necro is that we dont have any Necrolords XD
Reprisal is dummy powerful lmao
glory is extremely strong
necrotic
until the shamans rise up
no cap on a stack
C-C-COMBO
SWAG
Glory is stronk because it turns your 2 minute CD into something that lasts at least half of that CD
men of culture
no
I don't read that as saying that it extends last stand stuff; that would be a mistake people make about the Venthyr leggo, not Necrolord
And the added person
cos it buffs 3 people
honestly, should be baseline party -_-
but like... given the choice between a leggo that gives me +24 seconds of banner, or a leggo that gives me +24 seconds of SB, I'm definitely taking SB
I could see it being used for world first or MDI stuff
banner is not even a very good personal buff
Agree
Might be too big of a survivability loss for MDI, though
See, if they did something cooler with banner like
"Put down a banner and go into a blood frenzy nuking everything around you".
That would be awesome.
YES
agreement
But instead we got this "Lul, mastery go pewpew for others".
It's not but a shitty buff that lasts a long time is better than a shitty buff that lasts less than half of what it does now

if they made necrolord the actual "slaughter shit"
Kinda wish it was just a more interesting stat
"Brandish the banner and charge at a target creating a shockwave doing big damage"
Make the banner plant do big dam and a succ
Like if that was a bloodlust worth of haste on 3 people
Delete mastery
That'd be sick

Necro should've had AA and the spell effect could've been little skele hands tripping people up for the knock down
Nice
i agree
You know you want sunder back
No
๐คฃ
Theres a lot of cool things they couldve done with Necrolord for War
I'm sorry I'm done memeing
theres a whole dungeon wing dedicated to warrior stuff in ToP
Fr though banner do need to be reworked
It's because they keep wanting it to be a support button
Like the actual concept needs reworked
I actually liked the idea of having it be a support button, although I know that's unpopular
it's just kind of a shitty support button because it's really hard to use well
I'm ok with support buttons
Just dont think they should be a covenant thing
MoP banners

I wish they would just go all in on support specs
if Banner just buffed everyone in your party, rather than this stupid proximity shit, I'd be all for it
Like some of the FFXIV jobs
make it 3/5 as strong so it's the same total effect, w/e
I wouldn't be opposed
I liked how Rift did it with support
like why didnt they just make the legendary extend avatar, mastery gives us enough defensive value to appease the dev's need to tie it to defensive value
i SEDuCe!
WoW parse chasing would be hell for support specs, look how terrible it is just with PI and Faeries imo
unless you made everything raw damage increases so you could pull them out you'd have DPS knifing each other even harder
gz
Welcome to the next level.
You are not prepared
Insert quarter to continue.
In Rift it was group wide buffs
And you only really benefitted from like 1 in the group tbh
I mean, you could pull it back to what, Cata or MoP where every spec brought a unique buff and it was a clusterfuck
personally I think support classes are cool but they don't really work with WoW designs; you either have a crappy DPS with buffs or have to build around their utility
I think you'd have to redesign a lot of wow content from the ground up for a support or control role to make sense
I guarantee 90% of the player base has never seen a log
my slg parse makes me sad, i didnt get to tank any of the commandos
you guys are focusing haste or vers?
Maybe not but i guarantee 90% of the base look at details just to determine who sucks and who doesn't
And when i say look at details i specifically mean dmg done
And nothing else
laughs in 15th C:
yeah i saw that, looks like you got to tank commandos for a while
If a support role existed, and someone looked at details and was like "ugh, you do no damage" they would be a moron
For Kleia this week, would we run triple endurance to get the immunity on the phial and the crit conduit at the end?
I'm assuming we always get the crit conduit effect instead of any of the others since they're kinda trash? Or do we take the potency conduit at the end even if the last trait is just a useless slow proc?
Like similar roles have existed in other mmos, DCUO, SWG, and FFXIV have all had non-healing support roles
It'd depend on if the crit node or piercing verdict simmed higher
so FFXIV is largely saved by the fact that most people don't parse + the actual logs do a rough calculation of dps without support skills
if everyone has a details window up + no easy way to pull out support skills you probably get toxic relatively quickly, as we already see with PI
They definitely do log
Guys, i am carrying some friends in lower M+, wanna go for Seismic Leg for the LULS, but which slot?
And there definitely is essentially details in FFXIV
helm
I think part of it is just a culture thing, wow players are kinda dickheads (so says I, someone who is most definitely a wow player)
Not wow. The internet.
The ability to do stuff without being face to face with someone leads a lot of people wrong.
ie: lack of consequences. Same thing as youth crime.
ACT is much rarer than details
you are not supposed to discuss act inside the game even tho most people use it
also the fact that complaining about parses stuff is against the rules
Just because its rarer doesnt mean it doesnt exist
And it doesnt stop
no one wants to get banned because of act
also everyone knows that it comes out in the rdps on fflogs
like that's the whole point
the fuck is act
Ffxiv budget damage meter
xtreme budget
That they cant technically use but still do

the other problem with a dedicated support in wow is that it could be kind of tough to have easy feedback on how you're doing
My fellow warriors, do you guys solo Torghast as prot, solo Torghast as a DPS spec, or start/join a group? I'm hovering around 202 equipped with no DPS lego but I have 2 194 2handers
Solo as tank
EZ Mode
yh prot is so easy
i mean it take mes 20 mins to do both layers 8 a week as u can just run to the end
Ive only grouped in Torghast cause I was either helping a friend on a new toon, doing it with guildies so we could suffer together, or on my newly minted Druid XD
Coldheart is a bit of a PITA with the elites that 1shot when they start gaining a few stacks. Is Best Served Cold with Anger Management the most ideal way to solo?
Along with Reprisal of course
Yea
^ if you have seismic XD
true i guess
I've only got r1 Wall and r2 Reprisal so Reprisal it is! Any specific powers I should be on the lookout for? The increased damage while under affects of shout seems really great, increased rage gen, shield slam increased damage are my go to's
I like to max the shout damage, tclap damage/healing, and just whatever else really. The execute thing really helps with smashing when you dont need to be defensive and nuke bosslords
that and the perma zerker rage healing
Leaper build FTW
I just kind of did it yolo solo from whatever i was at the end of the week i dinged my warrior, felt like kind of do whatever u like and it's chilling solo as prot.
Any cutting edge protties in here rn?
i have cutting edge and i play prot sometimes does that count
Why does donny hit me so hard
We start P2 with me tanking both bosses till first wracking, then offtank takes donny
I clear carnage stacks with Kyrian potion, I use literally all my CDs
i think this is why
maybe this too
Generally you don't really want to tank boss bosses on warrior, they slam but with kyrian you should be fine. What's your defensive rotation look like since you say you're using everything there? @crisp dragon
If you're taking unblocked melees you're not using bolster very well, it should be up for the beginning of p2 and you use it basically immediately so that it's up for 3rd cabalists when everyone is walking over, you'll have a lot of carnage stacks there
I use it beginning of p2
I may just not be doing shield block enough, it's still very new
This pull felt a lot better
If I were you, I'd go into p2 grab remoria get a block rolling, leap over to port denathrius.. last stand when he ports, reflect the wracking pain (for the DR) when your co-tank taunts denathrius kyrian vial. And then just maintain block til you get sucked.. and when you get sucked normally I wall when we're walking through the mirror
The mirror transitions are typically the most dangerous part of p2 since you'll get next to no healing
If you need an extra layer of DR at the beginning of p2 just demo shout when you last stand do that it's up for the next mirror transition
Oh also, when you go through the mirror just keep running so that remoria doesn't melee you before going up for impale. It'll let your carnage stacks drop off a lot faster
When you say leap over with Denathrius, you're still tanking both bosses, right?
Yeah
Cause that is essentially how I do it, I dont SR the wracking, Ill have to try that
I'm using the phial of patience, so its stronger phial but its over time sadly instead of instantly
Tanking boss bosses will wreck you no doubt but it's definitely possible
You care more about removing the bleed than the heal
Do you have a log? Just to see the amount of damage you're taking there
I don't tank both because I'm not kyrian unfortunately
I play NF, I just know what it's like to tank both
I ended up just having our dh hold remoria til after first wracking
Its just our main team is doing it this way with a monk
I see, we'll have to come up with another tactic then, cause this isn't working
I can send you a vod of how we do it but it's not that complex just have the dh grab remoria when he goes to chaos brand sinseer
Dh is fucking immortal they should have no problem holding her for a couple seconds
I'd like to see some more vods just to get a feel what of things
Sure I'll dm you mine from last night
shall i prioritize haste over vers for m+? i have both the best haste and vers shoulder and don't know which one to upgrade
Guys, I play a vulpera warrior and I got to the point where I am tired of hearing my shouts after pressing every spell, is there a way to disable the roars and shouts without muting sound effects?
generally yes, prio haste
Does the ยซย difficulty levelย ยป of keystones resets with a New patch ? Or is a +20 now the same as a 9.1 +20 ?
base m0 difficulty will rise by about 30%
which will translate into m+
so a 15 in 9.1 will be like a 18/19 right now. a 20 in 9.1 will be like a 23 right now
thanks!
Former rogue going tank for insta queues. Where should I begin?
Halls of atonement is pretty easy
I see. Thx ๐
Macro it until a console command. "/console Sound_EnableSFX 0" next line after showtooltip and "/console Sound_EnableSFX 1" at the end of the macro should work.
Guys I'm at a crossroads at the moment. I'm really wanting to spend more time on my warrior in the downtime and currently Kyrian, is it really still considered the ideal covenant if I'm doing both raiding and M+ as both Prot and Fury especially while using separate soulbinds for convenience or could I find more overall damage/survability with both specs somewhere else? My main issue I'm seeing with Kyrian is not being cable to use Pelagos for both specs without swapping conduits constantly so I'm using Kleia as prot.
You can use Pelagos for both specs; you opt out of the first potency for prot and then put the cov specific one at the bottom
Itโd be nice if they buffed valiant strikes or bron at some point
Potency conduits for prot outside of cov specific are ๐ฆ so another endurance or fitness conduit is good
You lose out on phial cd reduction by opting out of the 1st potency donโt you?
Only real problem is the rest area situation but I guess I could waste a tome to swap I would just have to remember (the auto swapping is the convenience part). I would lose the Rally conduit for one or the other spec unless I lose out on double endurance. The real question would be is that route more effective than swapping to something like Night Fae for both?
it would look something like this
I will always recommend NF, but if you like Kyrian no reason to switch
This is also a option; very competitive for Prot should you not want to switch
I'm not attached to it. I'd say the best part about it is the set it and forget spear that especially lines up with other 1min CDs as Fury with the mastery buff. I'm currently running the Kleia conduit for Prot that you show but it just feels kind of...weak? compared to other options at least. Would Night Fae bring a noticeable improvement for both specs without ruining potential in either content is the real question. Preferably without having to swapping conduits.
Leaving Niya for Fury I assume?
Is there a similar easy way to swap trees for NF if we go back and forth between FUry and prot?
ty
Korayn for Fury M+ as well?
yeah thats true we need first strike
youll have to make trade offs no matter what Cov or Soulbind you choose
Kyrian Pelagos might actually be the most versatile Soulbind to run as both Prot and Fury with no switching conduits
i mean i guess could just go niya prot for all content including m+ and korayn for fury
then never have to switch conduits
i feel first strike is somewhat weird as prot to proc it if you dont have ravager or something. or do people heroic throw before you go in or what
you charge in
and you should be throwing ravager before your charge connects anyways
but charge is enough to proc it
So you have options, and in either case there will be some sort of trade off youll have to make; Pelagos has the least detrimental
but you can make it work with either NF or Kyrian fairly easily
Yea understandably would be losing Phial, but where as Kyrian seemed like the go to for multi spec at the beginning I'm beginning to see less and less warriors with it for some reason so it's becoming questionable for me. I'm always down to improve where I can though just can't be bothered to stress about the stupid conduit charges when I'm potentially switching specs multiple times a day.
So if I understand correctly, your firm on NF being the overall better covenant for running both specs. It's just not as easy to swap specs as it is for just running Pelagos for both specs in all covenants? Does that inconvenience include swapping conduits or just having to swap paths?
Swapping paths
In your opinion, worth the added inconvenience?
I have been Kyrian all expac switching to NF this week. I am only switching for more dps now that progress is over. If i were still progging on raid content I would stay kyrian.
TBH hasnโt been that big of a deal
also i waited for this non push week to switch bc i like doing high keys also but obviously am not doing it this week.
At least from a prot perspective; cov choice isnโt that important and anything works
Youโll just have to narrow down how you want to set up soulbinds, and they may not be optimal but you wonโt lose much tbh if they arenโt
I agree. But if you play keys, particulatly fury, it matters. i am switching mostly for fury. it's like a 10% difference in keys to go NF.
and since tanking is about the same, then there you go.
Yea, but kyrian dungeon buffs are generally a tank responsibility
But I digress; in the end either works and play what feels right and itโll all work out ok
I don't really progress raid contentcurrently. Clear heroic pugs that kind of thing. Otherwise I'd likely be Venthyr for Fury. I'm just not against improving my experience in raids vs Kyrian if the option is worthwhile in the bigger scope of things. 10% difference in keys seems worth it as long as raid damage doesn't really suffer either. Wouldn't mind more damage as Prot either as long as the defensive benefits outweigh Phial. But damn I didn't really consider dungeon buffs. Not many non tank specs running Kyrian huh?
WW, hpals, some hunters, ret
i actually think its 15-20% in keys for fury actually. like 1k dps
AA and Korayn is big dam
Guess I'll have to consider that, but at the end of the day if I get turned down for a Bastion M+ because of covenant then oh well.
Now is also a good time to try them all out
I have 3/4 covs at 40 and as of right now NF was the most worthwhile
For me
Thats some good grinding.
Put some music, movie or podcast on and itโs not too bad
First Strike would ideally be the go to for both specs in M+ yea? How does that work for the single potency? I imagine NF conduit would be used for Prot, but would the Reck conduit not be better for Fury?
Thatโs where it gets tricky
Cause ideally for prot you run cov specific plus first strike
But as fury you want the recklessness one plus first strike
However, you could pivot for double potency on fury, triple endurance prot, or take the second potency slot as prot and take the damage reduction
I'm assuming you play both specs? Whats your opinion if you don't mind. Seems like First Strike is too good to pass up on either spec
Is it just me or does the new hpal leggo for kyrian seem reeeally strong
Easier to lose first strike as prot then it is fury
But Iโve only dabbled in fury (prot Is what I like doing)
But for me triple endurance prot ainโt bad nor is skipping first strike and taking the DR or just using niya full time
Ah gotcha. I'm looking at top damage M+ logs and see a lot of warriors opting out of Reck for single potency NF conduit. If that's an option I could go that route maybe?
Basically doesn't screw up anything for M+. Make some adjustments for Niya in raids to swap. I guess for First Strike single potency is required anyways so NF definitely greater than Reck?
Though youโll probably lose 1 endurance for fury if you want unnerving focus for prot, but thatโs not too important
conduit wise
People running unnverving now with AM?
Figured as much. So NF conduit M+ both specs and run Innerving just giving up endurance conduit for Fury. Raid throw NF in first conduit, go Reck+Poison for Fury and Endurance+Burrs for Prot?
That would work
Id sim burrs for fury though
In the end, I would always recommend maximizing fury first then taking whatโs leftover for prot
Unless you prioritize prot of course; but sounds like you play both 50/50 in all content
I tend to plan my CDs so that if I need big mitigation I can use SB + last stand, SB + Demo, or shield wall by itself
I try to use those combos on CD
Yea pretty much 50/50. And it seems wowhead guide was wrong because top parses are taking Burrs like you said which means Reck goes in first slot. I swap for raid less though so conduit switching could be done there i suppose. I apprecriate the help though. Got a lot to wrestle with. Shame too because I just went through this on my main lol.
And UF makes me even tankier In SB + Last stand so I still use it
Rage gen from unnerving is for revenge :p
You could do for raid; you wont have potency conduit for prot, but again, its not the end of the world
Do we have softcaps for haste as prot?
I have to tank temporarily, but i'm venthyr, should I be usung Draven or Nadja?
Draven thicc
like every other class; 30% diminishing cap starts; otherwise no
Nadjia 99% of the time. Draven only when you need EHP (Effective Health Points) which you will only start needing in 24+ keys
Does that include the haste gains from Into the Fray?
raid I guess Nadja is better
always
gotcha, thanks!
no; flat stat I believe but I could be wrong
TBH, not something to really worry about
Always ran unnerving
Most of the best soulbinds have 1x potency and 2x endurance
Yea, but he wants to play Fury and Prot in both types of content, so its get a bit tricky XD
Unless you going back to the forge every time
Ashen is fine for prot - condemn hits like a monster anyways
for +15s whats the best leggo? The wall or reprisal?
definitely reprisal
Reprisal fho sure
for raids reprisal still? haha was behind the game as to when it switched
It's competitive if you can make it work without giving your melee a heart attack run it if not wall is perfectly fine
Is there a downside to macro charge and intervene into the same keybind and change according to my target?
So how does venythr hold up for prot warrior.
its fine, good single target dmg, most of the time you would be "better" with kyrian or NF
if you are just off specin it you can do 99% of content as venthyr
Sweet currently kyrian but i was considering the swap due to it bieng better for arm/fury
I thought nf was the best for fury?
all are decent for every spec tbh were pretty lucky
I mean I chose nf just because the best soulbinds for fury and prot are not the same
wouldn't have to pick an inferior soulbind
NF is good! Best all rounder IMO
Is there any downside to macroing intervene and charge together?
like it switches according to ur target
Itโs the best way to do it; just remember when using reprisal to keep intervene on CD
And charge when able
ty
Thank you
Iโll do that but still dont get SB uptimes from 65+, always slightly above 60 ๐ฆ
if your not charge weaving and only intervening you only get like 65%
anyone know how to return the WoD time walking intro if blizzard moved you out because you were stuck?
My mainprob at charging is the min range. Sure for mobs like the fat guys in warriorwing in top you can run out and chsrge back in when they channel whirlwind etc, but mostly the mobs just run behind you or you have leap every now and then ๐คทโโ๏ธ
u can stun charge
fear charge
as well
if trees are down u can get out as they are dying
u can charge range mobs
but you need to be careful about that one
so you dont charge through other mobs
Is it possible to create a weslaurs which shows an 8y radius around you, so I could better see when I can charge mobs, eg after I stun them?
pretty sure they got rid of anything range based like that a while ago
just comes with practice really
which tank has the highest dmg taken usually? DK?
thats a very odd question, tbh we all take the same damage we jus thave different ways to mitigate/ heal the damage back, DK is only worst atm because it really does work around taking the damage and healing it back
so they dont really stop the damage
also there are some boss fights where you cant recieve healing so they cant do anything in thoughs situations
wait doesnt DBM have a way to track people near you
oh i thought we were talking about intervenes only
but yeah
doesnt DH also have pretty shit mitigation
i dont play other tanks
and a lot of their heal is from collecting souls
They can do the fiery brand build, spreading it to all mobs and they do 40% less dmg
yeah i heard fiery brand is what made them good this tier
fiery brand, spam cds, and start running once brand falls off
Ya it's good this tier cuz theirs a Lego that reduces the CD on brand so they can do it every pull or every other
it's not brand
it's meta
in yhe highest keys you don't facetank outside meta
brand is a big component but not the biggest
Tbh its DH entire tool kit. Meta, firey brand, very high burst aoe dmg, good mobility/kiting and the 5%magic dmg
And the cc. Oh and those sweet sweet sigils.
And the lack of stuns of vdh is such a good thing 
People like to think that the current meta tanks toolkit is "oh so amazing"
So take it with a grain of salt
I for one feel useless with dh toolkit compared to warrior
It's a "the grass on the other side is always greener" type of thing when people talk about other tanks being good I feel like
Sigils are pretty nice but not exceptional
yea you get clapped on DH super hard unless you use your cds properly
since without demon spikes up youve got like 1/3 the armor of a warrior
sigil of misery is a thing
but yeah, water is wet, people completely misunderstand reasons for meta picks 
LUL the condemn leggo got nerfed for prot XD
So now it extends sb and UF, right? /s
doubt it
I mean
It was blatantly overpowered if they fixed the conduit interaction
And it's still overpowered
Assuming they fix Unnerving
Cuz it makes legit 0 sense that it doesn't atleast extend Unnerving. It not working with Bolster could be intended but the conduit just makes no fucking sense
โ๏ธ
but i would also say the NL leggo not increasing the other buffs seems dumb imo
With the 4sec + Unnerving you could stack up several minutes of LS with ease
The 3sec still is absolutely massive, but again, it requires the Conduit to work
but that might be why it should work like that because that uber OP
to have like minutes of LS
not that any bosses 100-80% or 20-0% takes minutes tbh
No, but within that initial 100-80 window you can already stack up several minutes of LS lasting until 20-0 on short bosses
Guaranteed
You can condemn atleast every other global
Often back to back, especially during ravager
You just fucking spam those condemn
Back to back to back to back
if its anything like the paladin one it wont be
๐
literally paladin is gunna be busted 40 second cd on divine
then it casts 3 times inbetween
so literally divine toll every 10 seconds
It'll get nerfed
fuking busted
Cant all warriors just complain bout the venthyr leggo being meh so it makes to livw
i honestly want to go on ptr to play it, but its just data minded not in the ptr yet
More broken than stuff other classes have?
its a mass slience every 10 seconds
It's also beyond broken for hpal
and hits stupid hard even at 60% effectiveness
like take mikanos have fun paladin you get divine toll every 10 seconds now just press buttons
u good
Oh i was talking about war venthyr leggo. But that does sound pretty op ๐
Yeah but how "broken" is that really compared to what other classes already have
Yeah lets have 9/10 leggos be useless instead. its safer ๐
9/10 leggos will always be useless
If there is 1 leggo that's 1% better, the others automatically are useless
Welcome to your Illusion of choice
Also signet is still strong so idk what your point is
Venthyr was too strong
So it took even more choice away
Thats a narrow minded view in my opinion.
It'd be nice if there were more situational leggos that saw use
I guess there will be when we get 2 slots
No that's exactly how balancing works. You basically said "I want venthyr leggo to stay broken" and then said "let's have 9/10 leggos useless instead" implying you want variety
Well signet would probably outperform perma reck anyway is my intuition in aoe situations. Certainly one can imagine a legendary power that can outclass others in certain areas
So which is it, balance or OP
Both
I want several strong ones, signet is strong in aoe, that one wouls be strong in st
The combat situation is not static
And with scripted fights you can tune legendary effects to be strong in different situations. Thats what I believe
That could be done sure
But it's Blizzard, so it won't
Nerf the strong, ignore the weak
Occasionally ignore the OP niche cases
Call it balancing
#NoChanges
You're hired.
Finally someone gets it!
But in reality its more nerf the opressively strong
nerf the kinda strong next tier
niche cases is a case of popularity
if its too popular, decimate them
Well blizzard made D3 from absolute shit to a great game imo. By now it is outclassed but within the time span of a year or so they did some insane improvents. Never seen anything like it
everyone except blizzard gets it
arms warrior,surv hunter,ench shaman
all bottom
which is actually sadge
Only surival out of those 3 is true
what if i want to play the more fun dps spec of shaman
the other two strictly false
if you're looking at output
representation, sure
arms is boring as fuck
enhancement doesnt bring raid util
survival hunter is a meme for 3 expansions in a row
just like tbc hunters
1 button rotation
heh dont get me wrong im venthyr and im fury
i wouldnt put survival hunter in the same camp as any other spec
its just utterly shit
(for raiding)
Biggest problem I see on this week is that it is Fortified and Tyranical at the same time
eh?
Bolstering on big packs make them fortified
So its huge time on packs and huge time on bosses
Thatโs why this is a fukd up week
Ow sure
dont do huge pulls
๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
as they arent needed and u generally dont pull more than 5 mobs
some times sure
but most of the time u dont
i mean u dont need to pull the 2 big packs at the start
u can seperate the first pull
and focus the big guy each time
And there goes the timer
?
like you should anyway
?
how bad is your dps if slowing down pulls kills the key
Bolstering isn't rocket science..if there are enemies that have more HP than the others and you can't effeciently pull around them just focus target them down.
That's about it.
Sure mr scientist
i mean Mwahi isnt wrong
I like these forums, really
I mean if you're struggling with it maybe go play the game and try out tactics that work for you?
We are just speaking from our own experience.
๐คท
like we are giving solutions to try
just beig toxic back and not taking in the advice is kinda dumb tbh
?
lol
?
You okay there?
If you don't want our advise and are here just to argue then just stop it.
Otherwise i'd be happy to help.
I didnt ask for any advice, people came in braggin that some instances and affixes are no โrocket scienceโ, like, โjust do this broโ
This is no advice mate
DoS how do you pull? sounds like a question to me
If you really want to make your point on ang argument, cause you are so huge, just say it, dont brag
That's not "bragging". ๐ค
and we both gave you different solutions
^
Owh but it is
".if there are enemies that have more HP than the others and you can't effeciently pull around them just focus target them down."
^ advise.
'u can seperate the first pull
and focus the big guy each time'
^ advice
Me? Im not. Im not nerdy who plays this to know every class to its 100% of all. I just play for the fun. And came here to say that this week for pugs are shit crap
Bolstering really isn't hard if you think about those things - im pretty sure that was the point
Omg, another one
i mean made in your one pug
but in general if u mark mobs in pugs
they will focus the skull mark
i generally have very little issues in pugs and i pug 99% of my keys
๐คท
u can generalise like 1 experience then aruge that its shit
when its just not and you could have done alot to help the situation
Im just a 1.3k rio, iโm nobody. I just came here to say that this week is crap

But anyway, anything you say here can and WILL be discussed always
Everybody has his reasons
There are tresholds of key levels where this week is utter shite.
Fact remains that people here are actually giving their two cents on how to improve those shite weeks
If everybody is right about something, thats ALL this is not for
its literally a forum anything gets discussed here dont get angry if ppl disagree
I mean that there is not ONE SINGLE DISCUSSION people wont disagree
There will always be the smart pants that disagree
That's why it's a "discussion".
No mate
wait wait wait

and not just puting out there point
Omg, another one
my opinion = right 
fine i think this week is great
Exacly^^
disagreeing is like the foundation of an argument? or am i missing something
and whats the point we cant disagree with, that this week is horribel for pugging?
becuase its really not
You are missing that you cant disagree on facts
yeah i disagree
But here everybody does
its not a fact
every week is horrid for puggings
what are the facts tho
Lets not get carried away with this tho. ๐
whats the fact here
its your experience
Just ping me if things go south.
I dont care what the facts are mate
???
???
what?
???
lmao
Are you saying you can disagree on facts?
fuck ur facts prot warrior is the alpha chad warrior with no issues
Language
i dont know what facts youve bought to the discussion youve just brought your subjective opinion
do u want it in arabic?
No, you are cursing
Thats ok
I can say fuck if i want to, and so can he
cant we all just get along
Mods, please?
fuck
you can we fuck 2gether
fuck
fuck-word
This is a Christian discord, we do not condone such speech here. โ๏ธ

ILL USE THE FURY WORD AS I PLEASE
ill say some scary stuff, duel weild, blood thirst...uuuh....
Heroic strike
