Thats rough
Far as DPS goes
Joined a group that had like 40+ ppl signed up (for a 5 mind you) most 200+ ilvl
But yeah, I could do dungeons all day every day as either tank or heals
Always something I can do better
as always the moral is: don't pug
Yeah that's what I mean. When you see a competent DPS add them. They're dieing to have tank friends for M+
Tank friend = much faster queues 😄
Always has XD
parry and block chance depends on crit and mastery respectively
raid or m+
crit is useful in m+ but not raid
221 m+ 16% parry 26% block 3.226 armor/56.34% reduction
all unbuffed
oh as you lvl you need more stats by %
its normal for that
then youll go up again by gearing up
I’m doing a dumb challenge with my friends where we’ve locked alts at lvl 30 and are trying to do the achievement where you kill algalon in ulduar with ilvl35 gear lol
oh ya i got a few guildy geared in phoenix with alt to do those runs
can get really high dodge + parry ratings
gems are pretty op
yeah... they also just missed some in the squish. like almost all of them are +3 stat, but a random TBC blue gem gives +4 armor +6 stam
Plus wotlk gear has so many sockets
Do bosses get healed by sanguine pools?
yes
prides don't though so ya go thtat going for ya
Yeah.. do you guys still pull those 2 by the stairs with halkias then or play it safe?
Would you run ITF or Ravager for max dps in Heroic CN
is there still a weakaura for devastator optimization
Am a fresh Prot, but got a Maintank, never touched Warrior tho. Noticed Spell Reflect / Ignore Pain even on an M0 with 140 Gear Beryllia hits hard, thinking about M+ later what's the best def rotation for them spikes?
when do you using shattering throw in prot?
^ think it works on Hakkar's shield in DOS?
Sim it
What is a Beryllia 
3rd Boss SD
Pretty much any absorb shield
You cant block while casting it, so be careful
Spell reflect the aoe thing and block the spikes
Block as in. Shield Block?
Ignore pain isn’t shit, unless I missed the context here
Hey guys, im new to warrior and tanking, thought id give it a go. Icy veins says Kyrian is best cov, but im hearing that Necro is now good for the banner, is it better than Kyrian?
No, kyrian is generally the best covenant
Great thank you. Any good videos you know of for the basic rotation?
Check the icy veins guide?
I have checked that, I meant videos sorry. Usually learn better from those. Like any youtubers you would say are good?
Does anyone know if I have to have to Prot Artifact from Legion first before the Hidden Artifact can spawn in Neltharions Lair?
Thank you 😄
Thanks :)
Is the Wall better ST DPS than Reprisal on fights with little charging?
even fights that you can’t charge optimally, reprisal can still be better. it’s pretty close
esp during off tanking
if you’re not charging or intervening at ALL then yeah walls better and easier
I just figured 5 more rage per SS>free revenge every 25 seconds
well, you get the revenge, 20 rage, and shield block
which means you don’t have to spend rage on a shield block cast
which equals effectively 20 “free” rage on top of the aforementioned 20 free rage
plus, the revenge is free and gives a chance to reset shield slam CD
the wall is a better legendary to “set it and forget it” since it’s relatively comparable dps end game
reprisal edges out a little higher dps-wise but requires more effort/care
Honest opinion, when is a prot warrior ready to tank 14's / 15's at which iLevel if you got tank experience? In a normal setting obv. not pugs.
Would 200 be 'nuff?
Even in magic heavy dungeons? I know I was fine-ish with my group when Pally was 195
Yeah you can do them with lower than 190, people were doing pretty big keys week 1, it’s just about the total skill of your group
These days if you’ve got big dps you can get away with barely any gear
I forget I'll be the only one with smol ilvl you're right :D
honest to god nerftank was doing 22s on his 209 ilvl prot war so prob could
i did 2 chested a 14 in ilvl 190 without full soulbinds, so it's def possible
i'd say 200 is decent enough, esp if you have a defensive trinket
take that w a grain of salt though, since the 190 ilvl run was an alt, as i'd already done decent keys on another tank
here are my stats prio vs ilvl. What build would you recommend?
Ilvl
Even when we're supposed to go Haste / Vers is it really worth dropping 9% Vers for 2 iLevel?
FOLKIES
hey whats up
is prot the better way to go for twisting corridors?
all 3 warrior specs are pretty easy to do TC with
fury has perma ER
arms has perma bdts
prot is unkillable
I swear r/wow is toxic AF, mostly noobs who can't get passed normal sludgefist or +5s.
r/wow is full of casuals ( no offense ) who never managed to do something "hard" and therefore think it's impossible.

🇫
I was in a Mythic plus four today trying to carry a group of my warrior who's 219 fury 220 prot. The group was advertised as valor farm but the tank was item level 165 and kept losing agro to everything. I was even waiting till the pack was around 60 to 70% and I would still pull agro pretty quickly.
I died a few times so I said since I don't have too much time left before my RAID I will swap the prop so we can steamroll this. Even in higher keys I can still average well over 4K DPS overall and sometimes over 5K.
Oh but the healer was not having anything to do with that he refused to heal me and after four poles of me not dying without heels he just straight up raged more at me than quit..
Literally I was doing about half a group's damage as a tank but I was the problem and according to Reddit it was very disrespectful of me to do so and the fact that I felt that I was being generous letting my time was a ridiculous statement.
Except for the fact that I join lower level groups all the time to help them cleared faster just to help people out...
Are you that dude from the thread who said "I've been tanking since Mists" 😂
No because I actually quit after cataclysm and did not return until legion lol
paying any attention to reddit 
oOOOOooo man
Is it possible to tank with a 2H as Protwarrior just like the Protpala Transmog Exploit?
Even thinking about paying attention to reddit for WoW advice
what leggo do i want to make for mythic plus
Reprisal
Anyone knows how to change my sound language without changing text language?
its possible, but you cant use shield slam or shield block (not sure if you can even use revenge
). so dont do it
i mean just mogs, not 2h equipped
oh ye
just mog a 2h into a 1h like pallys do. or is that possible but somehow abilites are affected?
wait and we cant use slam / etc afterwards? :D
you just said we cant use shield slam
Or did you think that's me trying to tank with an actual 2H
actual 2h
Cause it looks fun on the pally at least :c
Really digging the hidden artifact from Protwarrior tho - if I could get it
You can't.
you can tho
bruh
😭
its neat
so are ugly infants
lmao what
I just work here.
M’am this is a wendy’s
never been to wendy's 
🤣 Imagine not being 210 ilvl
Easily, called I lvled all the healer classes first
I only have 1 chance per day ( when resets it spawns or doesnt ) for the hidden appearance right?
yeah
I mean there's the trial character method, can I do that as alliance now? Ain't no Mountain High Enough achievement is doable as alliance and I can do a highmountain tauren since we dont need the rep anymore?
Those are all words, yes.
hello sweet thunderclappin amigos
I went a bit overboard with pushing le haste
hitting 30% last night, unbuffed
now I found out quickly I need to tune that down a bit
what are you preferred stat balances? (running +18s atm) (so ultra vers is not mandatory yet I think)
Ok So on the H Sire fight during phase 2 second set of adds for some reason I'll taunt swap to Sire the norm, but for some reason Sire will 1 shot me through all my ignore pain and my Sire trinket, I know that part of my problem is that I am still wearing a 197 helm and can't get one to drop for me that I can upgrade through the Valor system, but I can't see why I can't take this specific hit from Sire when I have no issues with any hit before or later in the fight, at this point our raid lead has a specific B-Rez for just right here in the fight is anyone else having this issue?
How do you link just the sire fight?
Er never mind
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1Na6zjpWKyYdfc7k
I'm Feifnjr
Ill take a look, give me 2 minutes
I've been watching the replay over and over I just can't figure it out

😮
D: I didn't click it once?
and ignore pain is used to smooth incoming damage, or to avoid overcapping rage
ignore pain is not our primary active mitigation, shield block is
I'll go over my macros and see why it's not activating
u still dont really care about stats and still pump ilvl or aim for 39% haste which is when u start loosing value
even with that in mind, that is a lot of ignore pain casts you probably dont need
U cast revengj 3 times in 5.5 mins?
No last stand minor thing but might help at some points
I've got lots o problems
when youre out of melee range on sire (taunt him), he teleports "behind" you, which is not blockable. so it could be nice to have shield wall/healer external up when going though mirrors and shit if youre not good on HP
Other then the fact that my raid lead had me swap from a resto sham since we have heals and out other tank swapped factions and servers with no warning
And I haven't even touched warrior since Spine of Deathwing
Zero wasted rage though thats a good point
Casts are a bit low though
But not wasting rage it a good thing good basis to start from
Yeah but not wasting rage on the wrong things is a bad thing... and I'll have to rework my rotation without my #4 since I won't be able to get a new mouse tomorrow and I raid tomorrow night, I'll have to get used to Shield Block and Last Stand being elsewhere in my CTRL keys
or at least moving VR and CS to CTRL keys and putting them in there
But then I'll never cast ignore pain
but you will be casting shield block
its better to cast SB and never IP vs IP but never SB

yes and no replacing my ignore pain key with SB will not space out the CD correctly when I've been spamming ignore pain like I'm not supposed to
right well that's something you can adjust to on a dummy for 10 minutes
Maybe I'll put Revenge where my IP is and IP where revenge is
Just test it out on a dummy like kny said
it's a lot easier swapping ip and sb and just breaking that muscle memory of spamming the ip keybind on a tanking dummy
I plan on spending quite a bit of time at the dummy to smash out a rotation without my #4 key on my mouse since I haven't used the number keys on my key-bored in years
gl mate :)
Gl
Thanks guys I'm gonna go spend another night of no sleep doing something I should have figured out ages ago when my Riptide stopped working on my shammy
Sleep > shield block uptime
okido!
Insomnia>PTSD>sleep= too much time to do nothing
Hey guys, atm i am thinking of switching back to Kyrian since my warrior's MS will be prot for raids and im usually tanking mythics aswell now, do you think it's worth switching back? i am NF atm
i think my question is; is Kyrian that much stronger than NF for raiding and M+
both kyrian and night fae are great options
the upside to kyrian is phial and kyrian dungeon buffs
the upside to night fae is yuge damage and knockdown
just pick your poison tbh
yeah, the downside is losing soulshape i guess for quick emergency movements
we have LOADS of mobility without soulshape
I'd say Kyrian over Nightfae for raid and Nightfae over Kyrian for M+ but that's just opinion and because you can use the phial to remove several tank mechanics
yeah true, i'm an engineer aswell. i've been fury throughout most CN, but 1 of our tanks just quit so i had to step up, not sure about to switch atm or wait until 9.1 maybe
but the phial also stacks really well with the dwarf racial
imean now is the perfect time to test other covenants imo
Especially since 9.1 doesn't look to be coming until end of June beginning of July
yeah got 2/4 on 40 already, kyrian somewhere in the 20s atm because i started this char for pvp at first
hmm
lot's to think about
everyone and his mother is NF atm and most of my alts aswell, some change would be nice i guess xD
However take into consideration that if you swap away from a cov and then swap back to that cov later you will have a 2 week quest to re-instate yourself with that cov
Tuesday is the weekly reset everyone I think
ah makes sense
day before
wguys I read the guides and pins and I'm confused about prot leggos.
Ahhh alr
do first quest day before reset
Wall or Reprisal as my 1st ?
Reprisal
its also good in raids
wall for raiding ?
so id pick that
^ we love the resets of NA in europe..usually the bugfixes are done before our resets on wednesdays xD
ah ok
Reprisal can be good in raids but can be quite clunky
Well thanks guys I've got some dummy time to do
if reprisal then I should use best served cold talent right ?
in m+ yah
Also I like double time with reprisal
still BV on st
with the wall it's easier to have rage for shield blocks and makes your shield wall CD between 1 -1.5mins
damn
I’m an inter
isnt AR the default choice anyways ?
reprisal has some mechanics you need to be able to do to have it function optimal, as in intervening on CD basicly for a free 4 sec SB and charging on other mobs to proc it aswell
AM
I take AM with the Wall since it stacks
in raids yeah, altho bolster has uses too
it's really good when you're used to it, but the wall is easier to use in raids, especially on ST fights
Yes
Just can be akward when you don’t want the boss to move and you have aggro
But it has no minimum range so u can just intervene your co tank or melee and the boss wont move
I hate that leggo choice. The wall seems safer and less fancy but reprisal is a dps increase but might be clunky in raid
Its not clunky in raid
Yeee but for charge
Well i dont find it clunkly
ok
I swap them out depending on the fight for raid
intervening on CD is no problem but I dont think reprisal is worth if you cant charge but only intervene
Is unstopable force a lot worse then ravager in m+ ?
Reprisal is really strong in the Sun King fight
i cant think of a single boss where that is the case tho 👀
I hate rav
damn
dead talent

I use unstoppable in Troghast but that's the only place where it has any meaning with all the buffs to TC and Avatar you can get in there
I think inerva is a good example. you can run out and charge (she as an awkward hitbox btw) easily, but its kinda worthless since you can only do that when you dont have aggro
Shriek and huntsman etc do have place for charge but probably not when it’s off cooldown
Just not Everytime charge goed off cooldown
you can game charge on adds, you can game double charge before tank swap. but i do think the wall is better on inerva yeah
not because you cant charge, but because the fucking dot thing 
Reprisal is also really good if you need a little more rage or a SB and you do have agro you can Inter your co tank and save yourself with it
yeah shieldblock feels kinda useless on inerva in the first place 😄

miss the days when u could reflect that :/
reprisal on sludgefist though

anyone else skilling blacksmithing out of boredom and lack of content?
had a breakdown and did 4 xpacs of loremaster but it hasnt beed that bad for me yet
just wanna raid but the guild is barely alive at this point :/
This is the big sadge
Do you use any addons to get loremaster?
the only content is watching mwahi play fury
How did the next key go


Ass pulls, cant cc, cant interrupt
I think there are only bad players left in 17-20 s range at this point
Like rly bad
Like not humans
Thats why i dont do em

Have got a 19 spires this week would be easy 🤔 but i need nothing from vault so 🤷♂️
I hope 1 Day there will be a queue by brain activity and iq
Try to make friends. Don’t rage if someone messes up. I have been pugging my way up since 8.3 and I have a small friendlist of 10 people or so I enjoy doing keys with
I have friends
But dear lord yall so elitist af like dis
I did and then they cant heal 19s
This week is not that good ofc
Like prides are very strong this week
But still people do so many mistakes.... Maybe ill play grim dawn for next fortify idk
Impossible to play
I would say lvl somthing less but there is no content
So play skmething else
Better option
play what
Is there a soft cap for haste or should i just get the percentage as high as possible?
There is no reachable softcap to any stat, just keep hammering ilvl>haste>vers>crit/mast and youre good to go
cracking
how dificult is torghast for prot? I'm ilevel 145 and about to do Explore Torghast, wondering what's the highest layer i should attempt?
everything should be doable at every ilvl, just need to hunt more powers than at higher ilvl
generally tanks have a very easy time
so you think layer 8?
if you start slowly you can probably do layer 8
hmm taking ages and failing would be the worst though
shouldnt take you longer than 1 hr
i reckon
depending on how quickly you can get powers maybe like 30min? idk havent done low ilvl stuff in forever
thinking about it, layer 1; just for the quest, then layer 8 later in the week when i have better gear
thanks for the advice
with 225 ilvl it takes like 10-15min as prot and with skipping everything
this week is soulforges right?
no clue, havent done torghast in a month
the constant ticking dot might be extremely annoying with low ilvl
That was last week no?
yes but you are way longer in there
and you dont kill as fast so you cant heal as good with victory rush
you can buy 168 off the auction house, which is fine for layer 8 if you know what you do
i did layer 8 on my second warrior at 138 ilvl last week
just takes a long time
dont stand in the pool on ground it increase dmg taken
for thorgast the best power i found is the increase dmg on shout and if your lucky to get the 500% increase time on demo shout your golden
Someone yesterday said they were levelling their 5th
well what else is there to do when there's only one fun class 
if after a run detail show me at 60% block uptime for a key. is it good cause i dont have logs i gotta need to install that thing
im pretty sure i had it up all time except on pride where i prefer IP
Logs are what you should use if you want to see effective block uptime
ie. what %age of melee hits you blocked
ya cause it was buff uptime but its for the whole key time :/
Yes which includes intermissions on bosses, if you're kiting and not getting hit, if you choose to not press block at the end of a pull.. Etc
in pug should i use HR over AM cause they suck at dps ?
i find myself running out of shield block soemtime in pugs
You can use it if you want to be 'lazy' and have max possible block uptime but
It wouldn't make the key faster
You don't instantly die the second block drops
it nerf my dps by 1k avere-ish
You can kite or facetank w/o block depending on key level and situation
first pull of DoS i got exploded this week
normally i save sw for the second big one
maybe ill need it for that one too
No soothes?
ahhh that must be the reason im used to run with 2 druid moon/feral
and i was in a pug no soothe
didnt though about that
well we had 1 hunter
dammit i need to pay more attnetion to these stuff before pulling
3 weeks old prot warrior 😛
It's still a somehow easy pull, you can just kite the big guy during his enrage.
During Fort weeks people usually lust that whole pack anyways.
Is it just me or are fortified weeks harder to tank than tyrannical weeks?
fortified weeks are more damage on the tank yes
spires
can someone tell me form where the sweeping blow damage comes from? i am not sure its even avoidable
its a frontal some of the early mobs does
pretty sure you can side step it, even as a tank but i cba
just block it 4head
I think its the first boss of spires?
ok that avoidable damage thing is preety pog is that in deetails?
nah thats overhead slash, and its unavoidable
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/details-elitism-plugin probably this @hollow bolt

for anyone who’s pugged KSM or 15s, do you require like invis pots for skips? quazii’s routes have some skips, do you just ignore them at this point in xpac or are there different routes you use?
on fortified skip are useful
theres some nasty trash mobs in some dungeon
you could plan a pride for them too if you cant skip
yeah he makes good points about skips especially in like sanguine depths and a couple others
Point of most skips are for better pride timings and easier trash yeah. If you can pull it off it makes the dungeon significantly easier (looking at you SD)
u can do ither, invising makes a lot better routes and in like 15s and up ppl usually are used to it, i suggest just telling them your planning on invising before u start the key
Okay cool. And tank generally sets the route even if it’s not their key?
yes
the tank is expected to take the lead
and anything anyone else does wrong is always the tanks fault 
lol naturally

depleted a couple 5s/6s so far, luckily haven’t gotten much hate tho
had a couple really bad dps so I think that shielded me
@hollow bolt yeah, its the elitism helper addon. The addon is pretty spammy and gets annoying fast so you can download a plugin for details to just show you the avoidable damage taken without linking it in the chat
@serene pine as tank when pugging i always go for the simplest route possible. Usually that means to not use any invis skips, cause several times they can make wipe recovery impossible
but mine is just a pug mentality where you can't trust everyone
yeah that’s what I was leaning towards, so was wondering if people actually skipped in pugs
Did you make your own routes or know of any pug friendly ones that don’t skip? I have to go back and see what routes darkmech uses and if he skips anything
has anyone played around with using heavy repercussions with reprisal? wondeirng how that felt
if dps isnt an isssue with the keys impushin, but im worried about survivability, would you recommend it or just learning to play around better
definitely wont recommend it
you should learn with AM insteasd
and youll get much better at playing
and then if u find yourself needing HR for any reason u will play it a lot better
what does hr stand for?
Prot war op af bro just take a shield and go charge to the pack
I played prot without a healer today in plagues
heavy repercussions
or right haha
@serene pine i created a few routes of mine that are very safe. Others are just copied from others. Darkmech one for theter of painfor example is unnecesary for ksm. It will bring you troubles most of the time to skip the first pack. Just do a normal route with pride on 3 bosses and you are fine
thanks guys
you might be a better player than me 🙂
I'm dumb af bro, I just get a little smart when mages gives me his buff
I usually just press the buttons randomly based on how they loook

if I take a lot of dmg I press the one that has iron shield
thats why we play prot

Good to know thanks
Never thought about wipe recovery and skips
of course with skips is better
but take for example the halls skip: if you wipe, or someone fucks up during the skip its pretty much over
what ilvl is appropriate for +6 key
hi all, i just wanted to ask a quick question. i healed a dungeon with a prot warrior yesterday, and they felt super squishy. they only had 4 ignore pain casts and 1 last stand cast. is this bad?
literally any
inviting pugs
last stand is barely a cooldown without the bolster talent, ignore pain is barely a defensive button
i see a bunch of 198 and 191 atm, usually like to get 200
hard to gouge without logs
depends on how many shield blocks they cast if and if they used the correctly
also presume u got that info from a log
i got it from details, forgot to log it because im a fool
well we cant help too much then
How do i log ?
So, if you have been here for a while, you may have noticed that whenever somebody ask for advice we ask them for a log, and if you’re new you might have no idea what that means or how to get one so :
🔸 First, download Loggerhead (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/loggerhead) or ERT (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/exorsus-raid-tools)
Once you have one of these any time you enter a zone where you might want a log (ie dungeon/raid/torghast) these addons will automatically start logging (in the case of ERT you have to activate automated logging in the options).
Alternatively if you don’t want to install an addon for it, whenever you are going to do an activity you want to log type /combatlog in chat to start logging said activity.
Remember to activate advanced logging in the options (System -> Network -> Advanced Combat Logging)
All these options will store your logs in your wow file inside the retail folder and the log file.
🔸 Second, go here (https://www.warcraftlogs.com/client/download) download the client. Select the live section of the client, select the upload a log button and select the fight you’re interested in putting up as a log and boom you’re done.
🔸 Third, once you’ve done all this, your log is uploaded you can put it up here and we can look at it together to see if you’re doing something wrong.
😎
but if they feel super squishy they are probs doing somthing wrong
link so i can add it to my epic copypasta
i didnt do vid
oh i thought someone said u did
🤔
Just a quick guide of the few big things you should look at when reviewing logs as a prot warrior. Hopefully you find it useful :)
Get started with logging yourself - https://www.warcraftlogs.com/help/start
i just don't know what ilvls are too low to do what keys is all now
my ilvl is 207
Speaking of logging, has anyone messed with the new-ish warcraftlogs overwolf thing
Start doing what key you have and keep going until u fall over, then you know where the limit is 😄
nah ive heard some bad stuff about overwolf 
they are a lot better now
that's why I was sort of waffling about it
I’ve been timing 5/6s comfortably as a 186 ilvl and accepting 185-200 dps. obv higher is better. think I’m gonna start using rio though cause I’ve had 200+ dps put up like 500-600 dps on pulls
but it seems like a really convenient way to do logs, I just haven't had occasion to actually use it since I'm doing ez content on alts atm
the only upside to that as far as i can see is the "call wipe" hotkey 
just limit test
apply to everything
ty
I timed my first +15 at 209 with the wrong talents.
haha
I think I was doing like 10-12's when i was around 200 and gearing up this tank alt judging by my rio history, just stayed safe level to have low failure rate since no point pushing higher at that gear level 😛
10's was pretty faceroll it seems cause there was a lot of 3 stars runs there apparently. Also comfortably 2 stars in 12's in the around 200 ilvl runs.
Am I the only one feeling that Protwarrior's clunky with the gaps in between SB and IP being so useless?
Or are we supposed to rotate these 2 with Last Stand and Shield Wall?
youre supposed to fill gaps in shield block with last stand (if you have bolster talented) and/or shield wall
And with AM?
shield wall
Aight. I was never a fan of burning big ones on other tanks but I guess it makes sense with the 1s reduce per rage spent.
How much is the average downtime Erga for SW ?
Reprisal reduces the gaps by a lot in m+ at least though.
Run reprisal and never have gaps again!
I got reprisal but fuck intervening melee's that stand in shit already :D

Wall on shoulders, reprisal on legs
boots if u have/can get mythic slg legs tho
thanks!
is there a spreadsheet for how much damage specs gain from necrolord banner? Similar to the one for PI that gets passed around
awesome thank you
On a boss in a dungeon, does it make sense to have both Shield Block and Ignore Pain up at once? Usually after pull and Demoralising Shout, I find myself having rage to get both up.
Or would I be better off pumping some of that rage into DPS?
are you not using best served cold?
Using Booming Voice
interesting 
you should be using best served cold with reprisal in m+
and using ignore pain to avoid overcapping rage is perfectly fine
Been trying to go based off of the priority you suggested here: 😛
But being new to Tanking, I still have a hard time determining very heavy damage.
Will be working towards that legendary as soon as I can!
What I’ve been trying to do is really focus on Shield Block uptime, and throwing in most of my extra rage once I have Shield Block up into Ignore Pain.
REVENGJ
But probably a good idea to start weaving in Revenges.

thats the right mindset, now you just gotta get used to more revenj
Will try to start logging myself eventually, have to remember how to do that again xD
i have an epic copypasta
Ooh?

If you wish look at your own log Jakey made a nice little video explaining what we look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1tRp8lULT8

Thanks!! Will be screenshotting that!
That feels like something that should be in pins imo

hoho
the copy pastas are evolving
quite interesting tho that there arent as many rotational questions as in bfa
i figured out pretty much everything i wanted to
need different weapon due to not haste and get some of the pieces upgradable with valor at least
this is what i got goin on
slowly but surely!
anyone know that weakaura that tracks % needed before last boss in mythics?
found it
glad i could help
do you guys know if Kyrian vial removes 2nd boss from Spires the dot?
no clue, never had a kyrian dps and never had the dot :/
update on this, after 6 days:
215 ilvl, tanking 16s like it's nothing, probably the tankiest tank i've ever played in the expansion so far. healers can suck and I'm still so strong compared to others
gg
hows prot doing in raids and in keys?
strong, lowest dmg in raids though
considered DK but was told they dont scale that great going higher content, but idk how warrior is with sustain
well we have no self-sustain we're a warrior
DK is fine in higher content, their issue is very low dmg in mythic+ which might make timing keys a bit harder
but tankiness they're good
ahh gotcha. do you ever run into lack of sustain as an issue? i imagine as long as you have your healer you're fine but has there been any times when you just died because of it?
or is it more of just an inherant trait to warrior, but negligible because healers exist?
yeah, we're built around it so we take the least damage of any tank but have no heals
I can't say I've ever had an issue because of it, if the healers died you're gonna be fucked unless it's the end of a pack in m+ on any tank
gotcha
tbh it's more the healer who has to switch up playstyle when it comes to warr than us doing anything
might break out the warrior again then. was a lot of fun when i tanked on it in legion. granted its bound to be differant now. but i imagine the core will still be fun
we're really strong right now, one of the top 3 tanks with DH/druid
ahh nice
in m+ I mean
though... As many other people, i shall say one simple thing
play what you want
yeah of course
rn, every single tank can complete high keys
even prot paladin does +25's
in spite of general community shunning both shield tanks a lot
well, it's general WoW community

lmao
even 
more prot palas have completed 25s than warriors last time I checked
because higher keys are gated by damage output not tank's survivability
warri never was a popular tank to begin with
ever since other tank specs became working
and not just oh you can't do anything because we're in the middle of vanilla
it's overkill nowadays
literally blasting
in fact, it was quite good on launch
and absolute overkill in BfA
I saw sense do 6.3k overall with a specific build
and absolute overkill in Legion
kinda fresh to tanking im venythyr from fury... jw im 220 ilvl 64k health do u think i should go general or stay nadjia for a 15?
have a pally healer
oh yeah and idk how good nightfae is but thats the cov i am lol. was dps at first and didnt want to just "condemn go brrr" for all eternity
nf is our highest damage cov
in m+ korayn for damage
but niya's nice for health/mastery buff when using AA and burrs is good ST damage (which we're bad at)
@nova fiberin a 15, real answer? soulbind won't be the thing that makes the difference on how well it goes
but draven is the best defensively afaik
Stay nadija
thanks
Draven is borderline useless since pwar don't spend alot of time/or hits <40% to get benefit off of the DR
Nadija best for everything except repair bills
i stopped playing the week before valor. currently 221, with thunderlords. essentially came back just to goof around with friends. was doing 14s 15s. now im just looking to crank out like 5s for giggles.
how much of a dps increase is seismic reverb over 235 thunderlords.
is it worth braving torghast again?
I think seismic will have its role later in the expansion when all secondary stats are high and you have low cd on sb
For 5s idk i mean nothing is worth making a legendary for 5s
If you plan to actually play the game after the 5s then it's definitely worth 'braving' torghast to make reprisal
okay 🙂
does the best served cold + seismic playstyle feel fun?
im at 60% block chance at the moment is it still worth more than the wall at that % ?
60% blocked hit*
Yeah, asked my RL what he suggested out of curiosity and he said "id probably go dk cuz warriors in a bad spot for tanking atm" but that doesnt seem to be the case going from here lol
Community perception is often wrong
Especially if your RL isn't even a tank player
If you're in a position where you can ask what should i play
The answer is whatever you want
Yeah, warriors in a great spot
dk is probably the worst spot for tanking rn
prot warrior itself is fine
Worst spot for m+, maybe
It just does no damage
well on magic fight monk are worse
Literally all tanks are fine
i mean compared to war
Play the one you think is fun or the one you like the class colour of the best
DK is definitely has aggro issues and is pretty unforgiving if you mismanage resources
hungering we had a monk tank he was getting destroyed for some reason maybe its a player issue
The latter could be said of a lot of tanks, I suppose
Spoiler it's a player issue
i tank with a DK co-tank and its fine but sometime he will need a brez
Raid, DK is great, afaik
they dont require healing
some hots and they are fine
its only if he does a mistake then hes dead though
I mean most fights don't require a ton of direct tank healing, usually
inerva is the worst i saw so far
If a tank regularly needs a bres things are not going fine lmao
I thought monk didn’t really matter what buttons you hit, or was that just bfa monk
Random question, when did blizzard start doing active mitigation, demon spikes, current shield block, fiery brand etc?
Or which xpac
I mean...shield block has been around at least since wotlk
Oh, I guess it was on a way longer CD
nah you could chain spam shield block in vanilla
it was there since the game started
It wouldn’t add on though, it would cutoff the previous application
Was a pain in the ass, it was an art to manage
Not sure when it started just adding on
it wasnt as strong as it is now though it prevented crit hit from boss
they added shield block value in wrath i think
I keep wanting to change covs and I hate it x.x
on sire whats better keep SB up or IP (cuz the stacks r shadowdmg)??
Sire (and remornias) melees are the only threatening thing to a tank in that fight if mechanics are done right
But as interpretor said block everybody's from now to the end of time
Ten thousand yeaaaars shield block
ty guys ❤️
hey, my wife's pc is pretty much identical to mine but better (8700K vs 7700K)
during M sire she lags much more than me during the add spawns in p1
we are trying to identify the problem, lag is noticeably better with weak auras completely off
Yeah I’m vanilla it blocked 2 attacks and had one charge, non-stackable. I was mostly curious about when tanks started being “responsible” for their own survival
so we are suspecting a weak aura(s). anyone have a good way to identify exactly what might be causing it?
I would say the mechanics were always kind of like that at least for warriors, but I would say not until the invention of “mythic” and high M+ levels came about was it very noticeable
Right. Fair enough
I played some tbc beta the other day and was just baffled by the fact that I had absolutely zero control over my survival
I haven’t played enough of other tanks throughout xpacs to really know for them
30 min shield wall lol
Did we still stack sunder in tbc? Can’t remember. I think yes?
Found that Ignore pain was added back in 7.0.1. Thats when i would say the change happened. Before that i would say quickly picking up mobs, holding aggro and good boss positioning was what made a good tank. Now it’s all that AND balancing your mitigation tools/doing good dps as well. Probably why people see tanking as so daunting. Lots of responsibilities.
I feel like ignore pain was added earlier than that though. Maybe this info is just the current iteration of ignore pain. Not sure, my brain can’t think back that far
Yeah I have no idea, took a good long break and came back to the “current” state of things
Was just curious
alright im about fed up with this thing, whats a good mmo mouse that isnt garbage like my Razer Naga and its half functional left click
Hey, there’s an AddOn called “AddOn Usage” which upon issuing a command in chat will list all AddOns along with memory usage and CPU usage. Might help, hopefully!
If it does confirm it’s WeakAuras, what I’d suggest would be a binary search. Disabling half your WAs and seeing if the problem persists or not, rinse and repeat until the culprit is identified.
to profile WAs you can try
/wa pstart
/wa pstop
/wa pprint
you'll have to do the stop command in the middle of the fight, after the lag is over though (i assume it's the p1 adds or something)
and then print to see the stats
Is the DoT on Spear hasted at all?
When using Reprisal, is Best Served Cold, with UF and AM better than Booming Voice, Ravager, AM?
For Mythic + specifically ^
BSC is good with reprisal, UF is still not great, stick with ravager
So no Uf, stay Ravager. What about BSC vs BV with Reprisal
Cause BV + Ravager is nice, but BV + Charge/Intervine is nice lol
For M+, BSC damage outdoes BV
TYVM
before ignore pain there was shield barrier, i remember that being the equivalent of ip in wod
ignore pain was introduced on legion
We continue our early look at class and specialization design with the Warrior. In these blogs, we’ll be exploring class identity, discussing Legion’s new designs, and presenting core combat abilities for each specialization—laying the foundation upon which talents and Artifacts will build further. With that in mind, let’s delve into what it mea...
they explain why they did it
i'm having some serious trouble using reprisal, I can't use the charge in the middle of the pack. How is it done? I stun, leap and charge back? Intervine out and charge back? Is it worth to invervine and charge? Cause we lose 1 free revenge
u never intervene and charge back
u stun and run
u can leap
u can just run out
TC slows
so u will get away from the mobs
can position yourself far enough away from a caster and charge that
just dont charge through mobs
u can fear to get out as well
Why not Charge through mobs? What may happen?
u get hit in the back
I see
i also find i dont need to charge that often when tanking after the first inital charge in tbh
so dont focus on trying to charge all the time if u have a shield block charge like 2 secs away from coming off cd or intervene off cd u should always prio them first imo
Wouldn't it be enough to intervene to the next melee?
not always it completely depends on how long the combat lasts
if it goes on long enough ull need to start charge weaving
make reprisal or wait for 9.1?
make
there is still many weeks til 9.1
and reprisal is looking like the best general option still
doubt it
stats dont matter
ilvl>haste>vers
last time i tanked on my warr i was pulling all the way up to the maw of souls
best pull
❤️
Hellow fellow prots 🙂 I wanna ask how much haste is gd enough this days ? Thanks
yes
Its fine to sit around 20% but no shame in trying to get as much as possible
u should be going for as high as possible with your highest ilvl
if thats means u are 210 with like 20% or 216 with 10%
u go for 216
because ilvl is always better
Trying to decide between male draenei or human. which do you guys like better? i know race doesnt matter but im talking like animation wise and such. subjective at the end of the day obv, but i cant decide lol
if u arent dwarf u are intiing
fmale human or fmale draenei
i could try dwarf ig, never really play them. always felt like some gear looks wonky on them
Is prot reallt that weak vs magic
Compared to vs physical damsge yes
But not really, we have lots of tools to deal with it
I dont think its that prot is weak vs magic, so much as its just exceptionally strong vs physical
in other words, their magic defense is fine, they're just in a league of their own vs physical damage so it feels weaker?
if that makes sense
between IP, reflect and both defensive cds it's not like you're gonna fall over if a mob gets a cast off here and there
anyone have a charge/intervene mouse over
So what duns besides halls are prot wars weak in
think DOS is a sore spot
Dos feels so hard for the ones around the ring
the two first pulls and one pull in hakkar wing yeah
But thats about it
plaguefall is really harsh
Eh think its only hard rn since i dont the have lego
Idk hope it gets easier just swapped to tanking on a new war
huh
My war is about 184 ilvl no lego and doing a 7 de other first 2 pulla felt not possible
I just died so fast
Also does having the legos on your other warr transfer over or no
For the powers
lego powers are account wide
i did a 7 dos on my 180 alliance warrior and i did not have any issues 
I was wondering why i wasnt getting any
was gunna say should be fine
Idk i just got shredded first pack n 2nd
158 shield btw
what are u using for them?
6 seconds with shield block n dumping rage into ignore pain
I used ls etc
But still got shit on
Idk gonna try again tomorrow after lego
I was 168ilvl when i tried the 7 dos
Now im 184
Forgot i stopped and went n did other keys myb / rf
Yeaaaa died in 6 seconds
and?
LOL
logs will tell us
Dont have em
If u charged into 2nd pull. Charged the purple dude and died. 3 guys probably got back attacks off
all good u died in 6 seconds and telling us and saying what u pressed
Eh ill try again tomorrow for it i spent 2 hours in twisting trying to get the lego for it not to drop
but that doesnt give us the whole picture did u stand in something
were intrupts missed
etc etf
If u get back attacked u explode. It iz what it iz
Interrupts def missed
i mean they melee with magic damage as well
yer but in the first pack theres 1 caster
Lol you expect ppl in a 7 to interrupt xD for 2nd
i dont expect ppl to inturpt ever
I spamned the druid to soothe the risen warlord
should be an issue
really
ive tanked 2 of them with enrage on a 19 fort week
didnt really hurt
Yea i just got the splintered trink
This man crit blocking everything 😩
Gonna get some more gear n legos n try n push keys
panda fat absorbs the blows
Since fury is buttcheeks for getting into 20s
I thought fury was long dicking m+ rn
Getting into keys is the most sad thing as a fury war
No one wants you
i know 
Ah. Run with friends. Iz prolly ur best option
what makes fury > arms?
more damage
6 hours of decline
scaling with pride
Arms does t have giga ToM any more kek
its literally just a tuning issue. only thing arms does better is the fact that they have access to die by the sword and fury does not
Maybe next tier arms wont bedof
what does pride even do? ive mostly been healing till now and just viewed it as a mana battery and thats all lmfao
Dog
increases damage by 20%? for 60 seconds
and gives increased movements speed and mana regen
Or something i forgot
ahh
tru
Perfect fury warrior synergy
even more angry mode*
true
i fuckin love those
all i hear in my head when i see them is "JOHN FUCKING MADDEN"
from the feral one





sammich
hi guys ! I can't find the charge / intervene macro ! Someone has it plz ?
#showtooltip Charge
/cast [target=mouseover,help,exists,nodead]Intervene;Intervene
/cast [target=target,harm,exists,nodead]Charge;Charge
i'm using this one
it's so the same keybind triggers either a charge or intevene, depending on who you mouse over
awesome, thanks a lot 🙂
is it also possible to add an option to intervene the closest friendly target, if i don't mouseover a specific friendly target?
for raid you could make a macro that intervene always your cotank
would make it easy to trigger reprisal without moving a lot or having to find the friendly target in a clutter of enemy mobs
theres a keybind i think that says target clostest ally or smth
but you cant automate it in a macro
i think
yeah thats what i think too, but i wasnt sure since there is a keybind for it.
you can do some shenanigans with targetlasttarget stuff or w/e
yeah or maybe modifier for closest friendly target so its easy to press both, although you then have to use two buttons for it
but also never heard of a macro option
Oooh thats how i did the event in FH but with enemy target ofc
Or closest npc
Cant remember now
the pig?
Ya
i c
I think if you cleartarget and just /cast pummel it will try to target nearest
That said, this is a Very Bad Idea. Use a mouseover like a real gamer
real real gamers use focus macros 😎
Why use lot text when few do trick?
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][@focus,help,nodead] Intervene; Charge
Do both!
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][@focus,harm,nodead][]Pummel
but why 
Because flexibility and options and stuff
It's like having 3 buttons in 1 without any additional keybinds
yeah there’s a /targetfriendplayer command. so you could do something like
/targetfriendplayer
/cast [exists] Intervene
/targetlasttarget
ty for the input, i will check if it automatically chooses the closest friendly target with that
if /targetfriendplayer doesn’t do what you’d like you can try /script TargetNearestFriendPlayer() instead
i think it was an early version of the macro someone give me at start of SLish possibly
that or it whenever the intervene leggo got recent change
When running Reprisal without Bolster, what sort of % Shield Block uptime could be considered good?
Anytime a boss or trash mob is swinging at you
80-90 % effective uptime
You should have shieldblock up
thats not something you can see in details btw, you have to log your run
Thanks.
Niya with Burrs or Korayn with First strike for m+? Or just a difference of taste and both viable?
If you don't have shield block up just cover it with demo shout + ignore pain until you get SB back up. If it is a boss that trucks use wall/last stand, if those are down and you are still without SB use demo shout, IP, and call for an external like ironbark or pain suppression
would you prefer just shiled block on pride or IP or both. i mean its tagged as only magic dmg even if he got a hit animation
I like to use spell reflect early on, then demo shout, and then SR can be up again towards the end when stacks are high
i also still SB, believe it does regular melees?
my logs show hits that are blocked
i haven't gotten to super high keys (nothing higher than 19 yet), but feel like i don't have to spam IP to stay alive. I usually try to spend rage on damage (outside of keeping SB up) to help kill the damn thing faster lol
thnaks a lot
his melees are more dangerous than the pusling aoe, so SB>IP
so for RC, you want to make sure it doesn't fall off while pride's still alive (only towards the end)
this week pride sucks
otherwise, you risk teammates being super low and then having 1hp when the RC buff falls off
about the only utility we can provide our teams on the pride, shit gets rough lol
esp. if you have all your DPS holding all CDs lol
thats why in pug i try to plan pride after a small pull so that pugs arent trying to blow cd
yeah
i don't try to pug high keys, but for like the 16s i've done I found that if I have avatar/ravager/spear then it usually dies just before 20 stacks even if all dps hold so that helps
ya its quite savage at 20 stacks on grievous
Hello! If we are jumping while tanking do we stop blocking?
ya
Wot
@sweet summit really? :p
sorry im dumb, you still block
bad yellow name
