Jeh but they are all fotm re-rollers and don't know what they are doing.

That boomi coulda just moonfire them lol

#

Destro lock and explosive dont work tho, affli is good but destro nop

jagged pier
#

like the fact that i could turn my camera target Heroic throw or chrage the explosives before the range standing next to it can hit it is mind blowing

How does that happen in a 19?

That warlock tab targeted wrong 1 time and never again.

#

I know I'm probably really overthinking this but how do I properly metagate using ignore pain and shield block do I just use both them off the CD and try to never rage cap

misty charm
#

this tbh

#

how can you look at that?

jagged pier
#

enemy damage taken, then find exploves

misty charm
#

oh shit

#

:)))

limpid star
#

I'd try switching to vulpera if it didn't cost so much money to race change, but less for the passives and more because it'd be funny to be a little furry bastard running around in plate armor named Dragonslayer

#

oof is that a resto druid not hitting explosives why are people like this

solemn magnet
#

You can keep it rolling if it makes you feel comfortable, but you'll end up wasting rage or could become starved. So would not recommend.

I'd use revenge for dumping when you can instead of IP if you're not going to die

is there a way to change covenant on ptr

am i cooked

pale roost
#

are prot warrior ok in mythic+?

short kiln
#

definitely

#

better than ok

pale roost
#

ah heard they were in bottom. but couldent say as i dont often see them in dungons

short kiln
#

there are few people playing them well, but they are definitely doing the same dungeons as VDH/Bears

#

+25s easy

pale roost
#

thats nice to hear. might try it out. could be fun 🙂

short kiln
#

Reprisal leggo makes for a really mobile and exciting playstyle

pale roost
#

are warriors as dh and kite alot or can they take more frontal damage?

stark sage
#

frontal

short kiln
#

and SB is hilarious in most dungeon packs because you just block everything. Easier to heal than most tanks as a result

stark sage
#

warrior is probably the best at just sitting and tanking
so long as the damage is blockable

short kiln
#

exactly this

pale roost
#

seeing as i mainly are fury. would my stats being haste/mastery be bad as warrior tank?

short kiln
#

haste is number one

#

vers is ideal second but all of the stats are generally good

pale roost
#

thats nice. got 900 haste atleast

short kiln
#

Would hazard to say that aside from Prot Pally, which does near DPS levels of damage, PW is close to or even with VDH in terms of damage

#

it's kind of about playstyle preference

#

sit, tank and pump, or sigil, sigil, kite

#

lol

pale roost
#

is IQD trinket bad as prot. i can prob guess its not ideal but seeing as its my best fury trinket and i dont rly have other good tank trinkets. using that and bell

plush tendon
#

Not ideal, but not totally useless

maiden notch
#

picked up tanking for the first time as prot, at 213 i feel really squishy even on weeks like this, noticeably the first two packs of DOS. do you think i should run the wall+bolster, reprisal+bolster, or what im currently running anger management+reprisal?

#

to help with my overall learning of tanking

amber herald
#

everyone feels squishy on those DOS packs to be fair

rancid ember
#

What Key Lvl CW?

maiden notch
#

12's+

#

pressing shield wall on the first pack feels really shitty, I usually kyrian potion, commanding shout and last stand the first and just wall the second

rancid ember
#

Definitely run Reprisal for M+, takes some getting used to but has by far the most benefit.
Those 2 packs are tough but most groups Lust the 1st pack, and then save SW + LS for 2nd pack if you can.

short kiln
#

the packs can be scary for sure, they come down to positioning and ensuring proper kicks and CD management. That's almost exactly where I'm at now and the group really makes the difference there

#

lots of magic damage from those pulls. If you can get that prevented you will find them MUCH easier to manage

maiden notch
#

it's just really annoying rn because i need the dos trinket, so im kinda forced to keep running it until it drops. and those first two packs are so unmotivating

rancid ember
#

The 1st pack doesn't have as much magic dam as 2nd pack. As long as you got SB up you should be fine on that pack. You can Shockwave -> Spell reflect for big dam

amber herald
#

remember to press S and never let go

short kiln
#

honestly, I'm running DoS literally all day Sat/Sun for that exact reason

rancid ember
#

Are you lusting 1st Pack in your route CW?

maiden notch
#

yep

#

the first pack is usually okay if i rotate LS (no bolster), commanding, and demo with shockwave

#

but sometime if i LS the first pack i get absolutely obliterated on the second pack

#

i try to just charge-> kick shadowcore, and press spell reflect, demo, wall on the second pack

#

and just pray

#

and jump but sometime i just die

chilly brook
rancid ember
#

Yeah you should be able to save both for 2nd Pack really.
The 1st pack is mainly Phys damage and dodging the flowers they put on the ground. As long as you keep SB up the whole time you should be fine w/o big CD's outside of Lust.

chilly brook
#

Even the melees are magic

maiden notch
#

do you recommend playing bolster over anger?

chilly brook
#

No

rancid ember
#

No

chilly brook
#

Bolster isn't gonna help you with magic damage

maiden notch
#

oh, i just meant like generally heh

#

but okie

#

thank you

light thicket
#

Maybe IP a bit more than usual?

#

Forsmoothing out damage

chilly brook
#

Honestly in DoS I'd just run AM/The Wall

maiden notch
#

yeah im still learning sometime i smash IP too much

rancid ember
#

Honestly one of the biggest differences on 1st pack for me atleast is using a turnip / killing 1st 2 mobs to go in with max RP/Fury/Rage

maiden notch
#

hm maybe I'll try that

rancid ember
#

I mean before you start the key but I think you got that.

maiden notch
#

yeah

thank you thank you

hey guys
any prot running night fae? what soulbind you use ? korain or niya ?

short kiln
#

Korayn for m+ niya for raid

#

Niya is also fine in m+ but korayn can get them big dick numbers up if his ability is used right

pale roost
#

what enchant is best for dungons on weapon?

sweet summit
#

celestial overall

#

lightless for dps

worn crest
#

Korayn also offers a small damage reduction if your enemies are facing you. I found it handy in higher keys.

sweet summit

you usually play first strike tho

blazing condor

🎬

outer solstice
#

Niya is more pump for single target

#

Korayn for trash

plush tendon
#

Anytime you can abuse first strike, Korayn gains value

#

So in M+ setting, Korayn has insane value, whereas in most raid fights Niya will outperform cause burrs go burr

sweet summit
#

📈

outer solstice
#

yeah but in dungeons like TOP first strike is often not as useful

sweet summit
#

you proc it off banner in glad wing, the small adds in construction wing and the adds on last boss

outer solstice
#

yeah but I still like burrs + the mastery buff

sweet summit
#

thats fine, but that doesnt mean first strike isnt often useful in ToP

wanton condor
#

first strike is pretty useful in top as you can trigger it on the bosses pretty constantly

#

banner/decaying adds/caster adds on bosses 2/4/5

sweet summit
#

yes, thats what i said peepostudy

signal plover
#

First strike is pretty useful in top tbh, it usually triggers on the bosses

sweet summit

i will end you greenbear

obtuse marsh
#

any kyrian pot utility in new raid btw ?

feral dock
#

Do you soak the orbs on 3rd boss spires? Or do you let your team e.g. hunter soak?

warm remnant
#

Id say thats up to the team

feral dock
#

Just had an argument with my hunter friend. He said tanks need to soak, because it would be a dps loss xD

jagged pier
#

depends on key lvl

feral dock
#

+14 atm

jagged pier
#

then u should be able to do that perfectly fine

feral dock
#

I took like 6 orbs and took tons of damage :/

jagged pier
#

did u prep for it?

feral dock
#

Any chance i can mitigate this damage somehow?

jagged pier
#

because u can take 10 on +18 tryan

feral dock
#

Guess not

jagged pier
#

well i have before

#

u can only take the first set

#

but if you use demo

#

u demo when u leave the boss

#

put rav down as well

#

so u can generate rage for IP

sweet summit
#

demo, scale, IP, SW, SR, healer external

jagged pier
#

use LS at like 4-5 stacks

#

scale at like 8

#

SW at 10

#

and SR

#

dam done

#

u can only soak the first set

feral dock
#

SW helps against those orbs?

jagged pier
#

well its reduction to all damage so yes

#

🙂

sweet summit
#

shield wall reduces all damage you take by 50%

feral dock
#

Ahh nice

#

Good to know. Next time i'll be prepared to take them all xD

jagged pier
#

and dont wait for the orbs to get to the boss its better to go pick them up when they spawn

#

so the dot has pretty much fallen off by the time the boss starts again

obtuse marsh
#

kyrian in this new raid feel less usefull than cn

jagged pier
#

imo its still probably best for progression unless u can work necrolord perfectly everytime, and sure the new raid might not be based around bleeds like CN was, but that also didnt work in the pots favour to start with as they had to stop it from clearing a lot of thing so the kyrian wouldnt be mega OP, but now from what i would think if they put a bleed or somthing into the new raid the phial should be able to cleanse it as hopefully there wont be a bleed on like every fight, could be wrong havent raid tested. but also dont under value the just an extra hp pot it gives as well

#

also dungeons arent changing and the cleanse is pretty big in them

iron forum
#

or is that not worth

jagged pier
# granite parrot won't necro be kinda nasty if boomkins are still strong? for raids

by nasty do u mean good? sure its will be better than it is now with the extra soulbinds and leggo the damage increase is gunna be more for the raid, but u still have to buff the correct ppl and lineing up 3 ppls cds etc for the right time could be tricky, i personally will only ever play necro if its 100% required which it never will be its just not for me

strong forum
#

youre gonna be buffing warlocks

#

not boomkins :^)

#

their CDs also line up way better in 9.1 since they will turn into a 2min class

Do vulpera racials beat out highmountain Tauren for damage mit?

jagged pier
#

yes they beat out 1% vers

strong forum
#

absolutely, kek

#

being a vulpera is 8-10% less dmg taken in m+

undone oriole
#

I feel like that charge is another excellent way to get another reprisal proc. I’m orc right now but looking to switch to one of the affirmentioned.

#

That’s crazy

strong forum
#

hmt charge is very slow and often causes you to get hit into the back

#

cant recommend using it

undone oriole
#

Yeah figured it was a bit clunky

jagged pier
#

u shouldnt need to use it to get rep buff ither tbh

#

i cant really speak i an panda super race

#

but it i was to minmax would be vulp

undone oriole
#

Damn was hoping my assumptions weren’t right. Is 8-10% worth my soul? Lol

jagged pier
#

i mean racials are a very very samll factor

#

and wont hold u back in any content

#

just play the race u like

strong forum
#

being X race over the other wont matter

#

even in the highest of high keys there are different races found among pwars

wanton condor
#

I stay orc because it's the only race with decent mogs and no clipping on horde

#

even if the shoulders float

jagged pier
#

eh?

wanton condor
#

over going vulp

jagged pier
#

more to your statment about orc being the only one with decant mogs

wanton condor
#

that also doesn't clip

jagged pier
#

when undead and look good, belf panda taruen

wanton condor
#

belf clip

#

I still believe, despite one being my main, that tauren and HM do not mog well

strong forum
#

the only not ugly horde races are belf, troll and vulp

wanton condor
#

armor is just not well designed for the hunch

strong forum
#

everything else is hella ugly

wanton condor
#

especially with how tauren/HM manes clip through everything

#

small races just have the dual issue of mad ear clipping and terrible armor scaling sizes

strong forum
#

tauren have one of the worst tmog models in the game

wanton condor
#

orcs you can cover up most of the uggo at least if you go straight backed

strong forum
#

the only small race that has armor scaling is gnome

wanton condor
#

have you seen vulp cloaks

strong forum
#

dwarf vulp and gnoblin are omega fine

#

id say that vulp cloak is actually insanely well designed

#

given that theyre shorter

sweet summit
#

using cloaks for tmog weird

strong forum
#

very very good on their part

wanton condor
#

but it's not jus the scaling, it's that the models' proportions are vastly different from what they use to design the armor

#

IT'S LIKE WEARING A NAPKIN

amber herald
#

trolls > all

strong forum
#

well your first issue is using cloaks

#

to begin with

wanton condor
#

or an ascot backwards

strong forum
#

but the shoulders to chest to gloves ratio is amazing on small races besides gnome

#

when on orc its 80% shoulders

wanton condor
#

I do really wish there was a shrink shoulders option

strong forum
#

an panda is 3% shoulders

#

50% belly

jagged pier
#

which is why its bis

wanton condor
#

although right now I really like the raid chest+waist

#

with no shoulders or anything

strong forum
#

its quite insane that the best tmogs for panda ALL exclude using shoulders

@iron forum I have

#

but at that level I wouldn't run it without a boomkin also not on inspiring

versed cedar
#

whats the shield wall cd with the wall??
(ofc not exactly)
and how do i know with what i should use my rage?? ignore pain or shield block?? whats better??

#

and how bad is not using ravager for dgs??
( im new to warr)

jagged pier
#

So the lowest possible cd you can get with the wall is 55 secs (but thats running Am) where you usually run bolster with the wall so more likely 1:10-1:30 mins instead

#

In terms of what to use rage on

#

SB is your prio if you have that up already

#

You ither revnge for damage or IP to help smooth damage

#

In most cases you will just revenge because IP really doesnt do much

lunar ridge
#

do u SS for ST? or still revenge?

jagged pier
#

Both

#

You still revenge on st

lunar ridge
#

whenever they proc right?

jagged pier
#

And you should always SS

#

Even when its not free you should revenge

lunar ridge
#

right, I just swapped ky rian but im debating on going back NF since ill mainly only be doing m+

#

i wanna see the power of korayn

jagged pier
#

And SS as often as you can in ST and AOE if you arent going to overcap rage

lunar ridge
#

yeah iwas talking to plka about it in his chat someitmes i feel rage starved

#

dumping to much into ignore pain

jagged pier
#

Couldnt tell you without logs tbh

lunar ridge
#

i also have a bad habit of over stacking block, thinking the timer stacks

jagged pier
#

The timer does stack

#

To 18secs

lunar ridge
#

it does?

lunar ridge
#

well shit maybe im blind as a mfer

jagged pier
#

And with bolster 18+ls duration

lunar ridge
#

u have to block,reprisal,block again right?

jagged pier
#

Ideally just use what you like

#

I like to use both my charges

versed cedar
#

like im asking cuz in lvling i felt more safier using ignore pain instead shieldblock
but thats prob a lvling ilusion

jagged pier
#

Then do repirsal stuff

strong forum
#

not even close

jagged pier
#

☝️

strong forum
#

and SB scales into higher dmg intake, whereas IP is a set amount and just gets absorbed quickly and then youre left with nothing

#

ideally you wanna layer both, with prioritising SB at pretty much all times

#

during leveling your rage generation is abysmally low so it can feel like you have to choose between X and Y button

lunar ridge
strong forum
#

but in later stages of the game you can just SB and Revenge away to your hearts content

@jagged pier Brother last time we found out i didn't press revenge at all and SS was my top dps. After that i had a break from the game for 1-2 weeks and i am back now. Question i have is. When excactly to i Revenge? What's my priority in my rotation. Can you review my log on this HoA i did yesterday. Mostly about my overall dps

#

Note my gear is still not good yet , still 217 with anything i can scrap of valor

worthy dagger
#

Prioritize shield block, spam revenge for rage dump

#

That's it, and charge everything you can and see

thorn ether
#

Yeah i know that , problem is when i have TC up , Shield Slam proc and tons of rage

jagged pier
#

in general your prio for renvgj is when u have SB up and u feel safe enough to not use IP

thorn ether
#

all at the same time

jagged pier
#

ill have a look in a minute

strong forum
#

in general your casts are pretty lack luster

jagged pier
#

im in torghast right now

strong forum
#

your haste isnt all that low but youre generally not using stuff on CD

#

if you compare your casts

#

to mine from a month ago

thorn ether
#

Well the key isn't like a good representation since it was the first key i did after 2 weeks break so i feel a bit rusty. I know i could use more efficiently my mitigation.

strong forum
#

youre gonna see that youre literally using all your main buttons ~2-3cpm less than i do

thorn ether
#

yeah but it's like 15 and i don't always have uptime on the pack since kiting is also a thing to factor in

strong forum
#

i casted 112 SBs in 25min and you casted 114 in 28min

#

if you have to kite in a 19 idk man

#

especially on tyr

#

you actually had 3% more uptime than me in this key

#

so the "i kite more" argument is out of the window

#

so generally, try to use SS and TC more on CD, actively check for that.
It translates into both surv and damage.

jagged pier
#

as Nomw your said your casts are really low and u wasted a lot os rage as well

strong forum
#

Revenge you can generally hack away whenever youre not tacking dangrous amounts of damage / alot of dots, to just weave in. The important part is not wasting rage

thorn ether
#

Well in a scenario were i have Both TC , not about to overcap rage , SS on CD , and have a choice between TC or revenging

#

which is better ?

strong forum
#

cast IP first, then SS

#

oh "not about to overcap"

#

then always SS anyway

#

TC has a chance to reset SS

thorn ether
#

both revenge and tc

#

has that

strong forum
#

yes, TC, if youre not overcapping rage

#

its hard to press TC when revenge does more dmg but generally it nets more benefits in the long run

#

since if you dont cap rage, the dmg from revenge isnt going anywhere

#

rather gen another 5 rage, then revenge

thorn ether
#

Like SS is still biggest prio when it procs ritght/

strong forum
#

SS is always max prio assuming youre not rage capping ye

#

during ravager i like to hack away revenges back to back cuz of the huge rage gain

#

weave in a TC here and there

thorn ether
#

Ok then this solves a lot. Last time my log had like SS top dps , and people told me i SS way to often. This time i thing i went opposite side and didn't a lot :d

strong forum
#

na SS is usually top 3 dmg

#

or top 2 even

#

it should be your most casted ability in a real scenario

#

unless youre in mists and giga padding for dmg

jagged pier
strong forum
#

then its gonna be revenge :^)

thorn ether
#

this was that dungeon for refference

#

😄

jagged pier
#

that cast different is crazy

strong forum
#

yeah in a mists, if your revenge isnt top dmg then idk

#

gotta work on that!

jagged pier
#

i feel like you issue is u dont cast things all the time so u loose out on rage

#

and secondly u waste a lot of rage so u cant cast as much as say me and Nome do

strong forum
#

this is my mists from 2 months ago

#

was i believe one of my first reprisal keys?

thorn ether
#

Ok i see , i think i got some things to work on. I will keep practising , it feels good to have clear things to work on.

strong forum
#

rule of thumb is, TC should be around 8 CPM

#

SS 10-12CPM

#

and revenge somwhere in between

#

those are the 3 big ones imo

#

block uptime seems fine, could always be better ofc

thorn ether
#

Yeah block uptime i know how to work on that , i was confused a bit about my rotation. That's why i asked

amber herald
thorn ether
#

yeah bear on incarn i dont think it can die

#

I am pretty sure no other tank has such powerfull offernsive and deffensive cd at the same time

#

Even with DH on higher keys on meta you have to kite because of the dmg u take someotimes

amber herald
#

there's nothing like incarn on other tanks yeah

#

funny thing is they can go venthyr and make it even stronger Pepexecute

thorn ether
#

I think that needs some tuning to be honest like it's disgustingly overpowered

amber herald
#

no it's fine every tank has a niche, and it requires a legendary to be that powerful as well

#

outside of incarn bear can lose threat even with pressing all of your buttons because their physical damage is so low

thorn ether
#

Yeah , i dont think that's ok either. It's not fun chasing threat arround even when you have done a very good job on pressing ur buttons

amber herald
#

I'd agree it's just that if you look at only incarn bears are overpowered, but the class as a whole isn't when you don't

#

a very solid tank same as us

iron forum
#

yeah tank balance is actually exceptionally good right now

#

at least in the context of m+, im not too knowledgeable on raid

#

3 different classes as top 3 tanks is actually pretty wild

amber herald
#

it's cool to see because people have been saying DH, druid and warr are the top 3 tanks for a while

#

and then there it is

soft kindle
#

Raid balance is arguably both better and worse

#

Better in terms of just fulfilling the role of a tank, worse because tank spots are raid buffs

like so many

I saw yt comments on nerf's video about how DH is brought because of their sigils

like how wrong can you be

people always think that the #1 tank is best because their utility is broken

#

yeah

"VDH can keep aggro from ranged and kite well"

#

"SIGILS!"

#

fuck outta here

thorn ether
#

Well it is some truth in that regard , there is a reason people still play tons of VDH. Sigils are extremely strong utility in m+ scenarios and his whole toolkit feels like it was designed with m+ in mind. In my opinion VDH is the best m+ tank you can have with warrior close by.

I am not saying that the other tanks are not good for high keys i am just sayin in general VDH has the best toolkit for m+ scenarios

strong forum
#

VDH toolkit was absolute ass for BFA

thorn ether
#

Yeah because you didn't really had any agency in your spec with all that rng going arround on top of bad dps , on top of warrior beeing busted out of his mind.

strong forum
#

the lack of a good stun is what kills VDH for me

#

more than often is the lack of a stun terrible

#

when warri has 2

#

you can stop so few mechanics as vdh

#

outside of your imprison and grip/fear on huge CDs

thorn ether
#

Well stun is more of a commodity rather than necessity. Generally whatever can be stuned can also be feared by the Sigil of misery , and his Chains can also work as a stop on top of that , on top of imprison having very good uses

#

You have insane ammount of controls as a VDH in any pack in m+ scenarios

strong forum
#

very big think

distant crystal
#

vdh has 100% more weapons than pwarr

strong forum
#

i wont disagree that silence sigil is great

#

but saying that the toolkit is the reason why vdh is good is just flat out wrong

#

or because it can "kite well"

thorn ether
#

Well differently played a big role in the sense you didn't have any agency in your mitigation . On top of that you din't have a lot of dmg which is not the case now , and on top of that Prot warrior was busted on s4 , monk was extremely strong in s3 , prot warrior was very strong on s2 and bdk was extremely busted on s1. I think everything in combination made dh not a favorable class to play all though it was the best class to pick in some dungeons namely TD.

#

definitely*

soft kindle
#

Calling bdk busted s1 is a bit weird

thorn ether
#

it was though

#

and i think that's the reason you can't really mess with BDK , you make him strong he is OP you make him weak , he is still fine but his issues arise the more challenging content you push

its moreso that its design is outdated

#

0 mitigation only selfheal

It wasn't design with modern WoW in mind.

soft kindle
thorn ether

I dont know i am pretty new to the game , started playing on bfa. This is purely my observations and the knowledge accumulated from personal gameplay and opinions gathered from any relevant streamer. I was really curious when i started , why certain people opt in for certain classes and why is that happening and honestly i don't think i am that wrong. Stagger on monk was and still is such an insane mechanic and on BFA the way the dodge worked you could skip boss mechanics. If i am not wrong people played double monks on raids. On Season 3 , monks had insane selfhealing paired with OP eternal palace trinkets on top of toolkit was very strong against the s3 seasonal affix. S2-S4 prot warrior had 3 things. Insane Shield Block uptime , Spell reflect was busted , bastion of might which made avatar deffensive cd on top of offensive. That's my BFA observation

#

I also did some pushing on s4 , were i started playing m+ and investing more time to it, i think i got to 4k and then i was thinking to swap to prot warrior because of how busted the class was on WM and Shrine

short kiln
strong forum
#

monk was good in s3 because of a bug, the EP weapon, and the EP trinkets. RoP being busted vs Emissary of tides was quite strong yes.
War was good in all 3 (2-4) seasons because of dmg output and high block uptime yes even in s3, in s4 SR only the Safeguard/SR memes really started
BDK was good in s1 because nobody really knew what they were doing and bonestorm was a 1min immortality CD
VDH was dogshit in S1 cuz Meta wasnt a CD, demon spikes was a better defensive than meta, in S4 gluttony became the build to play because TD let you compensate the dmg you lost by playing gluttony but in turn become literally immortal

all these arent toolkit related reasons but tuning/azerite ( besides Safeguard and RoP )

#

every tank offers something different and can be compensated by other classes in your group, its a multiplayer game afterall

#

but toolkit was RARELY the reason why X was good, it was merely an added benefit

#

Safeguard and SR being broken ofc was a huge factor in s4

#

cuz no other tank could offer a 30% external on a 12sec CD lul

#

but that was only a factor on big dick keys

thorn ether
#

Yeah obv. Toolkit alone wont make a spec strong in m+. Most important is to be able to tank and survive the packs, toolkit comes after. Still VDH in my opinion has the best toolkit out of every tanks in m+

strong forum
#

90% of tanks dont even use their toolkit properly

they never went back on that

only in pre-patch it was 8% again

#

so the keys we're doing right now are like 32s in s1 bfa

or some shit

because DPS have much much more dmg than back then

so tanks obv comparatively feel much weaker

keep that in mind

it feels like kind of a cycle tbh

since vengeance in NoP

but then it went to another level with veng in mop yah

wod was pretty tame until tier 18+class trinkets

then it was just 📈 throughout legion

for obvious reasons

waxen cradle
#

Yeah I mean I get how they bring tanks up in power and hammer them back down. I have played and tanked every expac, what I am saying is would it not be nice after what will including this expac make 8 expansions if the cycle of make tanks super powerful, and then hammer them back down could be broken by not letting it work out that way

soft kindle
#

it hasn't happened for 8 expansions straight

#

it's only really happened three times, and each time it was external factors being heavily jacked, not the tanks themselves

waxen cradle
#

Blizzard has even said they have to bring tank power and overall player power down between expansions, and with that I would respond with a resounding DUH, but dont let it go off the rails again

soft kindle
#

with the exception of legion->bfa, that was the one time tanks specifically got whacked

waxen cradle
#

I know its not been a thing for 8 expansions, but WoW is 16 year old game, and its not like they dont have experience at seeing things play out in certain specific scenarios to allow them to be like "oh maybe we should keep a closer look at things so certain systems dont get out of hand"

soft kindle
#

it's not the same devs 🤔

waxen cradle
#

Yeah that is true, but one would hope that what was considered a mistake in the past would not be repeated just for the sake of saying well these guys are new and they have not learned how big some of our previous mistakes were so lets allow them to repeat them

I train people for a living and manage a lot of people every day, and have done it for a long time, and my 15 years experience in what I do has taught me what does not work, so when I train people how to do a job I teach them what works best, and part of teaching someone how to do something the right way is also teaching them what does not work, and why it does not work

Part of managing and being responsible for others is knowing what does and does not work, and why. As well as being responsible for making sure they learn it so when the training is over things are done well and efficiently

Hi Warrior friends, I notice people run Stalwart Guardian for one of their Endurance conduits. It reduces the CD of Shield Wall by 30 seconds but unless the fight is 7+ minutes long or you press it immediately, you won't get another use of it anyways.

#

Isn't there another Endurance conduit that is good?

jagged pier
#

no

#

unnerving and stalwart are our best 2 conduits

#

and u do get more uses out of it because you are runnign rep and therefore you are running AM

#

the cd of shield wall is actually ~1:30

light sorrel
#

I run Bolster in raid

jagged pier
#

u shouldnt need to ever

#

unless u run the wall

#

which in its own right makes the cd of SW 1:30 with the conduit and bolster

light sorrel
#

I run Reprisal but I find I don't need shield wall that often though Bolster on last phase of Sire or high stacks of Stone Fist is nice

jagged pier
#

well u cant block stone fist

#

so SW will help u more on high stacks of stone fist

light sorrel
#

It lets me press Ignore Pain twice before he smacks me and I don't need to worry about Shield Block

jagged pier
#

and u dont use SW as a panic button

light sorrel
#

It only lasts like 8 seconds though

jagged pier
#

it is part of our rotation

#

you are seriously undervaluing SW

light sorrel
#

I think it's good but I think the cooldown is long and Last Stand doesn't do enough on it's own for what I need it

#

Lets say last phase of Sire, each time I take the boss I need something

#

I can't shield wall twice in that phase normally

jagged pier
#

which is why u run AM because your running repirsal u dont need bolster for the block at all u have enough of it

#

so SW comes down to a 1:30 min cd

#

so u can use it more often

light sorrel
#

With me running around and helping soak, my uptime on that phase isn't going to be enough to get it to 1:30

jagged pier
#

what?

u can soak and charge back

#

loose zero time

light sorrel
#

I help with as many soaks as I can atm

#

They're already pretty tight

#

I tried playing AM into Sire and I would never get remotely close to having shield wall every time I take him

jagged pier
#

reducing the cd of SW has nothing to do with up itme if you soaking all the time that actually lands in your favour as u can charge each time get loads of reage just to spam away reducing the cooldown

jagged pier
light sorrel
#

I need some defensive every time for shattering

lofty widget
#

you wont have bolster every time either tho?

light sorrel
#

At least that's how it's played out every time

#

Bolster gives me a defensive I can cycle at least

#

because Last Stand kind of meh

lofty widget
#

so is SW

jagged pier
#

u get SW more often than LS with bolster

light sorrel
#

but now I have SW and Last Stand?

jagged pier
#

if u run AM

light sorrel
#

On paper, I'm sure it works like that but I've tried AM and in practice I don't have enough uptime phase 3 to push spenders every time they come up

#

Unless I'm the one tanking him

jagged pier
#

i dunno i can only tell you the maths and from my experience im fine with running AM

#

as you dont need the block from bolster as u can already cover the time with repirsal

#

and having SW up a lot is far nicer than LS with bolster

light sorrel
#

I'll try running it again and see how it feels. I see a ton of tanks playing Bolster so I tried it and it just worked a lot nicer

strong forum
#

alot of tanks also still run wall+bolster on all bosses

#

doesnt mean its good

#

i NEVER ran Bolster in Raid

#

even in 9.0

#

Bolster can defo be ran on Sire though, but saying Stalwart isnt a good conduit is a bit weird

#

its literally our best Conduit next to Unnerving

#

what else you gonna use? Brutal Vit ?keksquad

light sorrel
#

If I'm running Bolster and Rep, it goes down to 3.5 minutes and I can still only use it once when I need it

#

I was asking if there are any other good Endurance conduits, not saying that there ARE better conduits

#

I just don't know what the other ones are

strong forum
#

no there are not

#

we have those 2

#

the rest can be ignored

#

might aswell play without conduits if youre not using Stalwart and Unnerving, you wont see any difference in performance

#

our conduits are horrendous besides those

light sorrel
#

Fair enough, I'll run those two then ty

Hey guys any particular tips for surviving M Donny? I’ve been lining up blocks with his melee strikes pretty well but he still wrecks in p3. Anything in general, tricks wise?

lunar ridge
#

do u guys ever use execute?

strong forum
#

on every boss

#

or prio target mob

#

or on 3 or less targets

shut summit
#

@feral gale make sure rogue is using mindnumbing if you have one, and warlock curse of weakness

feral gale
#

Yep we do, is it kind of expected for tanks to get dicked in p3? We are still sorting our CDs I feel too

#

Are you using external on shatt pains too?

thorn ether

@jagged pier just finally ripped my scale. Sitting on Scale 207, SLH at 220, Hymnal at 194. What are you using right now? I checked my logs and Hymnal at that level even is doing 4-6% of overall DPS consistently... that's insane right? Seems like it's punching way above it's iLvl

jagged pier
#

it does

#

punch above it waits

#

but it depends

short kiln
#

im mostly just M+

jagged pier
#

in challenging content i run scale and phail

#

in none challenging i run phial and hynmal

short kiln
#

and there are very few if any other SLH wearers there

#

I'm leaning towards dropping SLH for M+ and running scale and Hymnal. No phial to speak of yet on this character

#

you would approve?

#

it's a big drop in iLvl

jagged pier
#

i wouldnt run SLH in m+

short kiln
#

then there you go.

jagged pier
#

its doesnt do much without a 5 stack imo

short kiln
#

noted.

jagged pier
#

in m+ there are far better trinkets

short kiln
#

thanks a ton. 🙂

jagged pier
#

np

#

look at it this way its like 2% vers i think so thats 2% damage and 1% damage reduction unbuffed

#

so not great

sacred timber
#

How do I get three ranged

#

strong forum
#

thats where stormbolt / fear are great

#

ive had 2venthyr hpalys at 19 key lvl

and ive out healed them on me

#

which makes me sadge

#

and in pain in the key

sacred timber
#

Im literally gonna make a fucking ppt slide of just numbers of my past groups

#

how do you out heal on prot?

#

ignore pain doesnt heal you

#

oh.

#

wait

#

it does

jagged pier
#

well it shows as healing as its an absorb it doesnt heal expect through indom

#

and i dont really press it as it doesnt do much

#

so if a healer is less than me on healing done to me

#

u know they havent touched me much

sacred timber
#

are you saying that ignore pain doesnt do much?

jagged pier
#

no it doesnt

sweet summit
#

it does not

#

ignore pain is rather weak compared to shield block

sacred timber
#

I thought that is like... 95% of prot warrior.

sweet summit
#

this isnt legion

jagged pier
#

its 50%

sacred timber
#

I mean... I started playing prot like 2 weeks ago.

i mean its not wrong, but i imagine that was written before reprisal and when we didnt plat best served cold, and before tank survavbility buffs all of which have pushed more towards dumping rage into revenge instead of IP
