in raid, also just on CD outside of SLG where you can intervene the goliath charge

light sorrel
#

I don't care much about M+ for my Warrior aside from gear. I'll tank M+ on my Monk and raid on my Warrior for those fat Necro buffs

strong forum
#

there are no noteworthy mechanics to take instead of someone else besides goliath charge thingy

light sorrel
#

My concern was more "I don't want to reset my stacks" when I intervene

#

If that is a mechanic for a fight

light thicket
#

So dont intervene the co tank on denathrius p3

fathom spindle
#

Aye, i run the Rallying cry finesse, so i don’t really Intervene anyone for the DR, mainly for SB uptime

light sorrel
#

light thicket
#

Got it

strong forum
#

i would never intervene my cotank unless hes dying

#

and on sludge

#

its a good thing to do on sludge, just intervene your cotank, pop SW and you eat both melees

#

and you feel like a god doing so

light sorrel
#

Isn't it better to intervene your tank on CD since it's just so much damage reduction from Shield Block?

fathom spindle
#

Pfft, warriors are terrific at handling magic DoTs...

I’d Intervene my co-OP DH tank all the time 😅😅

strong forum
#

thats just wasted block uptime

#

for when youre tanking

strong forum
#

not for magic stuff

#

i honestly intervene my cotank

fathom spindle
#

Ohh, nvm then

light sorrel
#

I think he was being sarcastic

#

oh nvm

jagged pier
#

but on sludge he did have cancel aura

fathom spindle
#

I was, but thought i would get the DoT regardless 🙂

light sorrel
#

^ going to make my tank make a cancelaura

#

If he can output more damage from me intervening him, I don't see why not

strong forum
#

na, i intervene chainslam targets

#

and my cotank when he needs it

#

cuz hes a weak vdh

Ahha, Alrigjt.

#

I'm there for Battle Shout and for Necrobanner. I find Bear/Paladin boring because it's pretty afk but Warrior seems fairly active.

fathom spindle
#

Was just a tad bit unsure, If it acted differently

light sorrel
#

so if I'm taking a lot of damage, seems more fun to me.

#

I get to actually play the role properly lol

chilly brook
#

14 dps who all probably want the buff and a cotank that's right next to you practically all the time

light sorrel
#

We'll figure it out, it's not that serious

#

The people that care about their parses a lot can stand next to me

chilly brook
#

Seems like an absolute nightmare to get on the right people

light sorrel
#

Again, it's not that serious

chilly brook
#

Not if its sludge

fathom spindle
#

Necro banner is Awesome on Sludge ive heard.

Ask the DPS that wants the mastery to snuggle up real close 🙂

light sorrel
#

We're not out here having a panic attack and screaming at each other in raid because one person didn't get their mastery

#

If you don't get it, you don't get it

#

There are a lot of fights where the 2 DKs can just stand right beside me and be happy

#

and if they can't on some fights, that's okay.

chilly brook
#

If it's not going to the right people though it's not even worth

light sorrel
#

It's closest two allies

#

If the DKs are right beside me, they'll get it

fathom spindle
#

But why would you wanna make DK’s happy in the first place? 🤔

chilly brook
#

Wouldn't it be better for the mage? Or boomie?

light sorrel
#

Like on Hunts. off tank is off in narnia with dogs 2/3 all the time so they DKs can just stand next to me

If they want to stand in melee range, sure

Have your cotank have a cancel aura macro

#

And you can charge in every stomp

jagged pier
#

u can still do it without intervening your co tank

chilly brook
#

Just let your cotank move towards boss for a second or two before you charge

jagged pier
#

and get the same uptie

#

just a bit less forgiving

chilly brook
#

I used a lot of movement on Sludge

#

Tbh

so if i got lets say 90% blocked melee thats my effective uptime right?

Yes

Really informative guide mate, well done!

I honestly think i need some more haste before my Warrior will take my DH’s place atm though.

Even with ITF, it feels like SB recharge to slow

chilly brook
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

I'm running sub 20%

fathom spindle
#

How much SB uptime so you think you can get on Huntsman (If you solely tank him)?

chilly brook
#

With what lego?

fathom spindle
#

Reprisal i reckon

chilly brook
#

Like 85% or upwards

fathom spindle
#

Because i tried it in HC last week.
Felt like i exhausted charge/Intervene and SB, everything was on CD, but felt like it was close to 70% at most

#

No logs to confirm it though

#

Obviously i could time Sinseekers better etc, but the Warr is quite new.

But hopefully experience will make me time things smoother

#

On an average dungeon (+15), what is your uptime of SB ?

#

Or what whould be a good average ?

sweet summit
#

~80% blocked hits with reprisal+AM

#

at least thats what im getting so i think its alright peepostudy

sweet summit
#

you cant

edgy jay
#

I have around 45% of uptime on SB )on details), it seems very low, but my dungeons end up going pretty well considering I'm under gear (ilvl 200)

#

I'm usually healed by friends saying that's there is surpisingly not that much healing required

#

Idk

Just starting M sire prog - thoughts on reprisal vs wall for leggo choice?

#

thinking with all the blood price/shatterings in p3 reprisal would be pretty good

#

thinking it may be spooky going through mirrors without a cd tho

cursive trout
#

Reprisal vs the wall on sludgefist?
I get approx 10 charges in during the fight which is like 40s extra shield block uptime (block reduces dmg by like 70%).
With the wall I would be able to shield wall pretty much once per roar which is 32 sec extra uptime with only 40% dmg reduction.

It seems like a no brainer to pick reprisal for that fight since all the dmg is so consistent?

chilly brook
#

If you can

#

Reprisal is better

jagged pier
chilly brook
#

@cursive trout

chilly brook
#

Also shield wall is 50%

#

Not 40%

70% dr from block? ZOOMEReyes

How is block 70%

cursive trout
# chilly brook How is block 70%

I'm drunk got all the numbers wrong.... but I assume after waking a bit more up block reduced dmg by around 40% and shield wall... surprise... 50%. Which would make the numbers more or less exactly the same 😂 I normally just press buttons and hope I live lol

chilly brook
#

No worries

cursive trout
#

"Ohhh I take dmg, should probably press something that reduces dmg in-take"

chilly brook
#

In general, reprisal is a better option on sludge

#

Since it covers the gaps when you need it basically 100% of the time

#

Sludge is easily a high 90 to potentially 100% blocked hits fight with reprisal

#

For reference this was my kill with The Wall

#

And I'm very confident that I probably coulda made that 82% 100% with reprisal

cursive trout
#

Yeah, that's also what I gathered, albeit a bit late in progression. I still tend to accidentally use it when there's downtime

carmine prawn
#

Please help me align my understanding for ignore pain's tooltip: when it is up, do i have a shield that absorb the amount it is up for ; or 50% of damage i take goes to the absorb and the other 50% come to me as damage that will go through the mitigation roll?

strong forum
#

The mitigation roll happens first

#

Then 50% after mitigation goes to IP amount, the other 50% you eat

#

So you have like armor>block>absorbs(like IP)

carmine prawn
#

Ahhhhhh... now that makes sense on why shield block is priority for getting it up. Was behaving like a bear with UFR whilst leveling

#

Thank you for the clarification

#

guys this may be a stupid question but is there a big difference in tankiness in between like ilvl 219 and 225 ?

#

according to some reddit math 1 ilvl is equal to around 1% dps, but how does that check out with tankiness?

ionic fern
#

👀

#

What are you taking into considerations?
Only STR increase from ilvl? Also secondary stats? What type of damage? etcetcetc so many variables.

#

That's one of the reasons why "simming for tankiness" is not a thing.

Of course you can! but he is only hitting you with his fists after 1 st stomp + roar every phase, given there's 5 phases that leaves you with 10 "important" charges. But again... the only raid boss I've ever tanked is mythic Sludge, so what do I know 😂 I might be playing this all wrong, but no one notices because they are all DPSs and Healers...

Hey guys, any tank experts that wouldnt mind taking a look at my mythic progression logs? I feel like my damage is low (although im necro) but also that at times I require the same amount of healing as our DK tank. (see huntsman kill). If any of you guys feel like taking a look I'd appreciate any pointers: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/cN9MxDWmYrzk2n6C/#fight=3&type=damage-taken&options=130 . I do tank the dogs, soul rips and the last dog does get some hits in from the back (paper tank).

#

Damage is then focussed on you rather than dispersed widely, making it easier for healers as they only have one target that's taking heavy damage rather than the whole raid

When he's low hp try to avoid moving him, makes it easier for healers and just eat externals instead

I once forgot to move him cuz I spaced out so I just sat there around 10 stack and wondered why I'm actually losing hp

But that was in 9.0, idk how chill things are now

Easiest way is just, to move when raid is full HP

#

And avoid moving him when the shout is happening

Otherwise just walk as long as raid is healthy

Very simple

tell me for both situations 😉 maybe i'll get my cotank to go kaal

signal plover
#

For goliaths just full offense (scale is prolly good there as well but I still don't have one lol) so any solid dmg trinkets you have.

For kaal prolly anything that supplements your bleed DoT damage reduction. SLG trink, Vintage maybe, alar prolly ok for dangerous moments in INT1.

#

Alar is weird for kaal tank cuz if it saves you from death it doesn't clear the bleed so it only buys you a couple extra seconds to react.

I could run my power crystal trinket if I go Goliath's plus SLG 220 prbly

Yea I don't like the alar trinket tooooo much

I run it cuz it extends pulls on prog.

Torn between the wall or reprisal for my first Prot leggo, based on the FAQ it really doesn’t matter I guess

reprisal for m+

you can use it in raids too np

Yeah that’s probably what I’ll do, the wall sounded cool because potential for more avatar uptime if you run AM

In m+ you run AM with reprisal

so you get the avatars there too

Reprisal sounds op af though

Reprisal outshines wall in both types of content imo

M+ and raid

Both dps and surv

#

i've been using reprisal in the raid, because it's the only one I have built on my warrior, i've not had a problem weaving in charges/intercepts on most bosses

#

but that's for bosses i've got on farm, progression might have been more of a challenge to figure out the best times to leap out/charge in etc. 🙂

Why is that nome

Dps loss, rage loss, less SW uptime

You only get to use SW every 3.5min without AM

Hello everyone! Seeking some wisdom from the pros here. I'm playing kyrian prot warrior atm with the build 3111232. I feel sort of weak while tanking +15 keys. I feel like I'm pressing shield block when it's available and I'm taking damage. Maybe I'm using ignore pain to little. Last dungeon I did I had 52.7% Shield Block uptime and 29.1% Ignore Pain. Does it seem too low or is there anything else fundamentally wrong I might be doing?

jagged pier
#

have you got logs?

coral heart
#

unfortunatly not, I'll try to log the next m+

jagged pier
#

well its veyr hard to tell what your doing without logs but sounds like u arent playing correctly

#

52% uptime with HR seems super fucking low

#

and if your running reprisal

#

thats just like your not pressing buttons at all

fierce field
#

depends on which packs you're feeling squishy on too... some of it might be priority spells not getting kicked and magic damage coming through.

coral heart
#

probably not intervening enough :S

jagged pier
#

no

#

that will be 1 thing

#

having 52% uptime total thats not even effective

#

with reprisal and HR talent

#

means u are doing some wrong

#

with reprisal and HR u should be able to have liek 80% total uptime at least and your effective shoud be even higher

coral heart
#

I will log this one that we're gonna start in a min

Check Jakey's guide video on how to read that log also

Boys how much uptime of shieldf block should i aim for in m+ ? Reprisal is the legendary

80% blocked hits is a good benchmark

how can i see the blocked hits? u mean 80% overall uptime?

id say 75%, me at my best i get 80% but i am a pleb and press revenge to much

overall uptime is a shit metric

it tells you nothing

Well it tells you how much uptime ur shield block had as a buff

late ermine
#

I am getting between 75 to 80 but I am still trying to get use to the playstyle and only been playing it since tuesday lol...switching from vengeance next patch

thorn ether
#

I know it's shit in cases where you have shield block up

#

but you dont get attacked

#

but stil

jagged pier
#

thats why its a terrible metric to look at

#

thats no use

late ermine
#

its a good metric for trash lol

#

no

i had 61% on a mists 18 but i feel i did insanly good job there

jagged pier
#

what if u kite?

thorn ether
#

213 ilvl though

jagged pier
#

what if the mobs cast

#

sounds low for overall tbh

#

but i dunno i dont look at overall

late ermine
#

I macro'ed charge and shield block together so I just pool rage at the end of a pull and have less buttons to press

jagged pier
#

you should never ever

sweet summit
#

i recommend getting rid of that macro

jagged pier
#

macro shield block into anything

sweet summit
#

you do not want to macro your active mitigation onto anything

thorn ether
#

Also do bolster counts as shield block in the uptime on details?

jagged pier
#

what if u charge a caster as if dies and its the last mob of the pack

sweet summit
#

it does

late ermine
#

the 4 seconds pops as soon as u press charge so u are not losing any uptime

jagged pier
#

yikes wasted sheild block

sweet summit
#

it gives you the shield block buff

thorn ether
#

Oh i don't play with Bolster

#

61% uptime without bolster

#

i play with AM

jagged pier
#

if your running reprisal still seems low

But like 75-80% seems insane

#

What?

Flex on dem dead hoes

can someone explain to me how that macro is losing uptime when the 4 seconds of shield block essentially starts on pressing the button not hitting the mob with charge u lose roughly a second by the time u get there off the 4 now if you macro shield block to charge you still lose a second off the original 4 but now you have the 6 from the shield block charge as well that doesn't lose any

jagged pier
#

what if u charge when u dont need sheild block,

ionic fern
#

What macro?:(

#

hes macrod sb into charge

#

what if a pack is dying and u charge a mob

#

and it dies

late ermine

have just regular charge set to shift plus the button

Why won't you just have a SB instead on the charge+sb button then?

And a regular charge as it is.

😂

late ermine
#

ok guess I am wrong thank yall I will correct

#

yeah i checked logs apparently i had only 60% blocked which is good. I suck and we need to practise more

# coral heart Now I have a log 🙂 https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/HRtk4LrvMcpAjhzf#fight=...

1)Why are you using HR in a +14?
2)Your effective SB uptime is 63% which is SUPER low considering you're running HR/Reprisal. - Even with Reprisal alone it should be around 80%.
3)You're wasting A TON of rage..You literally wasted 3000 Rage over the course of that key. - Keep an eye on your Rage bar and use Ignore Pain / Revenge to dump rage. This is a HUGE HUGE HUGE mistake.
4)Your Intervene casts as super low considering you're running Reprisal.

thorn ether

but i have no clue

sweet summit
#

in BFA revenge barely did damage

all your damage was TC/SS

so you barely used it

I came from brewmaster... I was using IP to mimic legion purify, and SB to mimic legion ironskin brew.
