dumped into SB
You want to use AA insta
u have 3 cds of rage gen there
So you don't have globals for revenge
AA before DS??
yeah
You asked if AA before DS, which I replied to "no"
Nobody said anything about AA before DS
no i asked if thats what u were telling me to do haha
cuz u said u want to use AA insta
for ST (raid) i've been opening charge (SB mid charge)>DS>avatar>AA>rotation
does that seem right?
thats what i said lol
If rotation implies using SS and IP, then yes
Cuz that's still a fuck load of rage you're generating there
Unless you use both SB charges
I guess that could work
rotation implies SS>TC>revenge, IP/SB to prevent overcap
noice ty
Recently I've gotten the habit of spamming SS even when it's on CD during the GCD in the event of something resetting it
So you insta snipe the reset
But that requires some serious spamming
Feels really good thought when you do
Actually could you macro that into some buttons?
just put SS on TC bind?
Just bind it to mw down and let it free spin
AA is avatar ?
ancient aftershock
Oh right
I don't know why, but banner on the GCD feels awful
ye :/
But damn does it feel good to line it up with my ret pally's wings in keys lol.
I rerolled by accident. I leveled as necrolord, just giving it a shot but ended up as kyrian, so I thought I would have to do the quest to go back. So I just pressed through the menu expecting to get the quest because I wanted to try it again during prog next tier and was just going to have it ready, but turns out you don't have to if you just leveled as a covenant lol.
hm so warrior is one of the few classes that I like playing all 3 specs, fury for keys/raid arms for pvp, prot for keys
problem is that it is very hard to not tank right now, a couple of declines or sitting in queue for too long just makes me swap to tanking
too impatient
Yeah I was prot in bfa and then swapped to fury late for EP/NYA. now back to prot for all content
Fury was giga in keys, too bad they didn’t give us the Azerite trait as a passive
But currently NF prot warr and it’s so much fun lol
yeah I am night fae too, the stun on AA is nice and I have gotten along fine without phial
AA is a nice interrupt tbh. Should count on the interrupt tracker -.-
it makes me wish I went NF on my VDH though while I was pvping a lot early this expansion
just didnt want to give up decree and phial
needed for dh imo.
too many night fae though honestly
^^ I went nf, kinda regret but when I look at kyr to swap, the soulbinds look terrible.
I want to pvp as arms aswell :/. If only mr robot man didnt have a knockback on spawn
why do u regret going NF
Weaker in pvp. In keys nf is great. Lots of dam and utilities. But kyr is the same. Where the kyr ability is probably more often used yea
I wonder what the 9.1 soulbinds look kije
Kyrian owns
Spear owns. Phial owns. Pelagos owns.
Travel network owns. World quests own.
Best covenant hands down
Korayn is just op
Hit them with a massive ancient aftershock
I went nf from necro for fury warr. Really good in m+ overall and that’s what I care about
Def gonna use the best served cold talent though. Light weight throwing hahahaa. So used to bfa prot where we use the booming voice.
Good to know that my refusal to switch from Kyrian has been rewarded.
Phase 3 is basically where the fight starts, but got easier with the recent hp changes. Should still expect 50+ pulls for most just getting into p3
50 pulls isn't too bad
I tank m+ atm up to about the 20 level on druid and paladin. Sell me on prot warrior. I'm not in love with how it plays but maybe I just need more time on it
I'm bored af when I tank as bear. So I like warrior. But me do bdk main, so I guess I'm I'm the minority
Spell reflect.
You should have seen prot in BFA. Omg.
Glory days
Actual gods
Prot warr is the most fun tank imo. Charging and intervening for reprisal makes it into a mini game within a dungeon. Warriors have the best CDs in the game. Great utility in a lot of scenarios. Rally cry. Challenging shout. Intervene with the conduit is an external for teammates. Battle shout. Need I say more.
And the no self healing thing isn't a problem?
It's better to mitigate than self heal a lot of times
Because mitigation makes healer heals worth more
But when shit hits the fan it's harder for warrior to get out of it than say, bdk
How dangerous/cheesy do you think it'd be to bursting stack up a couple of plaugeborers and then pop them on a boss?
🤔
Bursting stack?
I mean people do it on high tyran keys regardless. First 2 plague borers go to boss
Don’t need to self heal if you take less damage 🙂 ignore pain is considered a heal tho lol. Definitely helps in a lot of situations.
Seeing as the great push highest plaguefall was done by using plague borers on literally every mob in the dungeon... I'd say using them anyway you want is a legit strategy, also high necrotic wake was done by bolstering up one of the axe throwing mobs and getting it to basically one shot the last 2 bosses a while ago...
How do they keep it from one-shotting them?
My real sadness is that the kyr soulbinds look bad :(
Morning. Had to tank HC nathria today for the first time (alt run).
Which soulbind do you recommend for a venthyr - is draven the best option ?
Nadia
Anyone can help me with my M sire logs in the log channel, posted 3 hours ago and no help so far :c
I believe it was some fuckery with mind controlling it
At work so can only look on phone so cant see blocked hits but your casts seem a bit low for instance looked at 1 of mine i get like 4 more SS casts a mintue compared to both you guys
Your loosin a lot of rage
Your both under using TC as well id expect higher usage, also u guys arent using your cds you bith us SW once over 7:30 mins
When u both have ~1:30 min cd on it meaning u can use it much more often
Temebr its part of our rotation
You are also running bolster and use LS 2 twice with bolster u want to use it on CD pretty much
You also need to press your buttons more i would expect around a 58-60ish CPM you missing a lot of resources not jsing SS and TC on cd
You other tanks still a tad low on CPM but better his SS isage is also low
Both sub 10 casta a min
Thats the best i can do without a pc
@jagged pier thanks for help
I cant look for blocked hits but your overall uptime of shield block is very low so i woild expect your effective uptime not to be that great
But thats speculation as i cant see blocked hits on a phones
@tacit smelt might help you to look through your own logs https://youtu.be/o1tRp8lULT8
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
Can confirm that you had low % of blocked hits meaning you dont have a lot of shield block uptime. But that ties in to all that Jakey said. The more casts you do the more rage you gain the more SB you can have etc.
Quick question: Since I dont enjoy playing with reprisal, is the Wall similar/as good as reprisal defensive-wise?
In M+
dang
That said - The Wall will not hinder your Mythic+. 🙂
You can play pretty much what ever Legendary you want probably up to like 20 as long as you play the class correctly.
Reprisal just provides us most bang for the buck.
Maybe im gonna practice some more. Guess its just some kind of habitual problem
should i have more revenge dmg or shield block in m+? i feel like i use revenge way too often
Do u mean shield slam damage?
sorry, yes.
And if so no revenge should be top
ok thanks
not really
205 ilvl, was a +12 NW yesterday
all of my breakdowns looking similar like this
on all dungeons
what do you find annoying with it? Even if you don't leap out to charge back in or weave charges all the time it'll still be a great value if you only intervene on your melees
While on the topics of logs. Where can i see hits taken without block up? Is it possible using details?
Gotta go into logs
Then filter melee dmg taken with SB blacklisted
In the events tab
K ty will give ut a shot when i get home. Will tale a look at that video to
Or I think you can make a pin that excludes dmg taken with SB buff active
Cuz i swear sometimes i got SB up abd still taking massive meelee hits
But idk what you'd do with that information
Can still get hit in the back
Can't block attacks that happen to far to the side of you or behind you
I am positive i dont usually turn my back
Except when i accidently charge to the backline.
:^)
But ye, prob gotta doubble check with logs

Definitely have to be casting more Revenges.
What about your IP usage? How many casts?
So that's where all your rage is going.. 😄
😦
too many?
since my ilvl is very low i try to mititage as much dmg as possible so healer can spend some time dpsing even tho in that low range they usually tunnel-heal
Well..for comparisson i can say that in a +18 i did i used IP 40 times.
uff
What key levels are you doing?
well with this guy only 12s atm
In general using IP is not wrong per-se, it's more that you need to understand if you need it.
Looking at how much you are using IP you are also probably overcapping it by a large margin.
yeah i am about to understand the class 😄 i also played DH and bear, they were a bit easier to "understand"
Jeah..we have some decisions to be made in regards to usage of our Rage. 🙂
i mean, i just learned that i take less dmg in total with my warrior than with my druid (both around same ilvl), even tho it feels like my druid taking less dmg. but i guess this comes from all the selfhealing and absorb with ursocs leggo
but the dmg reduction from block, paired with some ignore pain doing man's work
@ionic fern is a good „teacher“ Had an „I look over your shoulder via stream“-evening with him and got many advises what I did/doing wrong (grr musle memory 😂) 🥰
Of course in addition to many log reviewers here in Chat ❣️
yeah thank mr. @ionic fern 🙇
🍻
I'm nice to people who want to learn.
You SF boyes should be smart so i can be rude to you.

Very true

How is necrolord for a Prot warr?
its alright
Is it the best. No will it hinder you doing anything. Also no
In that sense it's a lot like Jakey's punctuation
😬
The drinking problem the dyslexia so i think faster than i type so i miss 90% of the word and spell them all incorrectly ecpect for dyslexia ironically


brings a new meaning to F1
1F*
We playing bingo?
Shhh, you'll wake the boomers
I didnt think it was that good a joke
then mwahi didnt get it so i must be onto something
:^)
It's the grand champion! I can't believe it's you, standing here, next to me!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv4ne_xnxmU
Idk why but your "me" sounds to me like this guys "me"
Is this because I called u Scandinavian?
honestly kinda looks like nom 🤔
Not wrong
Love me some good voice acting
Yo cyberpunk voice acting was top notch
is the game functional yet?
I'm very excited for it but i dont want to taint my experience by playing it before its released
😬
yah it released way too early and then everyone suprised pikachu'd when it didnt work
cd projekt red is really good about putting its heart into stuff, from what ive played of theirs atleast
Figured it'd get fixed with time
Im so jaded i literally wait for a long time before playing new games for the whole reason i dont want to olay the buggy mess
I would recommend cyberpunk i really liked it.
Is it as good as witcher 3 for me personally its not but its still a good game
I usually don't buy single player games until they're old enough to be half price
Unless you willingly run into missions way above your level it's very easy
By Azura by Azura by Azura
But the ambiance, the city, the detail, the many people
It's amazing
It actually feels like a real city
I wish my 3080 was here so I could up the graphics
Same. I played like a week after release and only really hit one big bug.
one of the major reasons i wait forever to buy sp games is that by the time they're half price, the hardware to enjoy them is cheapaf too
I really enjoyed Cyberpunk tbh, I do want to play it again but I'm holding off until something major hits
I bought my 3080 9 months ago
🙃
Still don't have it
xd
At least u've bought one.
oof
I've been trying for about 9 months.
This went quickhacking and even high lvl quests became 'cheesable' but km that sortnof player that does everything so like i did everything in the tutorial eeror before opening the game kek
3080 strix for 950€, I'm sitting on that order until they cancel it in from their side
Or until I have it
Not bad
Im revolver stealth build
So I just headshot for 35k+
I did max katana shit lol
And one shot pretty much everything
And boring assault rifle andy
100% crit and like 500% crit multiplier +20x headshot multiplier

Bodyshot? 2k headshot? 35k
Fucking dumb
And too easy
do you guys play with dsl internet or cable typically? or fibre?
always been dsl? and have a wifi i guess?
I legit took off gear with dmg mods from cyperpunk and just equipped stylish gear in cyberpunk
i been using cable internet past like, i dunno, 5 years and its dog shit now, can't do a keystone past dinner without net going out, so i may required dedicated internet line
Always been DSL with WiFi, upgraded 2 years ago to higher Bitrate from provider
dsl is you can't be kicked off (beside maintenence and rare scenarios), say due to congestion
Ye
There have been issues the last 3 days where it drops off for like 5min at night between 10 and 11pm tho
Very annoying
yeah, it's slower for what your paying for, but i've just about had enough of this bullshit, i share wifi with neighbour for netflix whatever, if dsl means i never get disconnected again, that's 90% what im doin
My mans living in 2005
Im wired but im fine i may have gone in the router and given my pc 50% of the bandwidth

My family complain the internet is slow
if i'm playing cod or something solo or offline and net cuts out thats fine, but if im trying to run a 14 or 15 or something and that happens, got 4 people + myself i'm working for, and so i let em down
Getting disconnected is a very rare thing
Shouldn't happen in this day and age
15 years ago, sure
But not now
we get disconnected here every 2-3 days for like, 5-10 minutes, sometimes up to an hour
Somethings fucky
Hit up your provider
A node fucked, settings fucked or something broken
Can always happen
Or it can just be a reconnect issue from your providers side aswell
Alot of issues are often from the providers side
no idea, all i know is i deeply tire of repeatedly explaining the same scenarios and concepts over and over to somebody, and they don't remember any of it or don't care
Been there
Had a good month of paper and telephone war when I moved places and had to switch from fibre to dsl, then realised I had to switch to vdsl
And then pay for 25 but only 18 would reach me which was borderline okay, I was ready to move places but then built new powerline like 6months after I moved in and could upgrade to 250mbit
it's all about not ruining keys first for me now due to disconnects and having enough juice that budy can watch his movies use his phone
happens again, i'm swappin
90% it's a hardware issue tbh
Def call your isp and get a tech to take a look
It's own headache but will definitely resolve your issue
You'd be surprised how often it's like "hey this wire is frayed."
I want them both 😢
got the weap last week
I should probably go with trinket though right
yeah trinket is pretty awesome
currently using anima field emitter and quantum device, both ilvl 200
i would say emitter
puts a light blue/white ring on ground and you stand in it get haste, whats not to like?
hey whats BIS 1h weap enchant?
Lightless or celestial
Yes I love the emitter, great trinket imo
how good is tank warrior dmg in higher keys say +15-20's geared
we dont have pre-nerf decree or current Ashen or Berzerk. About middle of the pack
gamers are usually in the high 4k's to low 5ks from what ive been seeing
Depends on dungeon, group, leggo, comfort, lots of factors but mod 4ks to 6k in some places
Very dependent on how aggressive you can be
Like Jakey said at least 4k but I've done up to 6.5k iirc
I had someone tell me you can spell reflect the shattering pain knock back, I thought it was physical (hence why bops work)
U can block it for the dr but the grab is like a magic component i think.
Think about soulcrusher
But for me personally i use SR for bloodprice
And then u can use it for shattering pain inbetween yet
But sometimes its good to be dragged
yeah im really just thinking of the ravage 2 yikes one
mainly play dh and I just #glide
U can use it there, but u can also just get hit out of it
It hits just before ravage
I think the knockback is magic in the mirror realm which is why SR works.
Well, knockforward technically
I think i only reflect the knock forward on the 3rd mass
Every one else is for bloodprice
Yer but blood price is every min
And shattering pain every 25s
So u can get everyone in the middle
But i want that free charge back
Would you all use a 213 Memory of Past Sins over 207 Inscrutable Quantum Device if those were your only choices for the second trinket slot?
Yes
U dont always need the charge though
And it helps to keep the boss still sometimes
oh wow quiet tuesday here.
True
gimme general pointers for SLG for a raid. im an ele main so i doubt anyone can help with playing ele
starting SLG tonight
want slg pointers for ele?
LOL
i just meant like generaly raid wide pointers of issues others had
not class specific
stormkeeper is up for every add wave send it
focus skull>cross>square skirmisher
youre probably forced to take windrush totem
TY
idk what there is to say 
its a pretty straight forward fight
don't fall off the edge
yeah thats nasty
sounds hot
get vored by bat
does anyone know the quickest way to get a shield on a fresh lvl 60?
like a rare that might drop one
campaign
oooh true
Do your adventure table; Shields drop pretty commonly from the missions. Keep an eye on World Quests. Or buy a 190 one from AH, they are dirt cheap now
yeah the campaign is my best bet, when I say fresh I mean 123 haven't gotten 161 boes off the AH yet fresh
Im Necro warrior we are progging on Mythic Sludge if i run Bonesmith and go for 3 Endurance as protection warrior whats better Deep wounds healing me or the active dmg adds to ignore pain?
Decided on prot warrior pretty late in the patch, got reprisal 235 is it worth getting wall for raids etc? cos ive just been using it there too lol
Lead by example and by extention, banner, will line up with pillars
if you want another leggo, wall is the way to go
Bbut if u really want to run hemier you shouldnt run 3x endurance
yeah got some spare ash, will have ago. Just spamming intervene on the mele in raids lol
Veteran's Repute is like 80% of the reason to consider necrolord at all
@iron drift
i agreee just trying to have a possible way of extending the fight late and also curious out of the 2 conduit i said what would be best
when 3x endurance is unavoidable, they are literally exactly the same
i think they were within ~.5% hps in competition with one another
granted that was done back in 9.0
so just take whichever is higher / whichever looks cooler in your soulbind
thanks just gonna run the ignore pain extra since its a single target fight and if we dont need my extra tanky ill swap back emeni
You defo shouldn't need any extra tanky on sludge
by extra tanky i mean the 10 second of not being dead from bonesmith
i agree
that fight for tanks is all about positional awarness rather than debuffs, mitigation, kiting, etc no
Not really true
Last 30% definitely punishes you if you're not mitigating
ah, ah you're probably right, i haven't done that fight beside LFR mage
haste/vers on leggo ya?
ya
i wish there was a "download this week all no skips, skips, both, or up to currently known routes master pack" for MDT
takes 40 seconds to get all the maps, just tedius
perhaps it could be a function on the MDT addon, "download this weeks routes"
do you guys think the alchemist stone trinket gonna be a BIS with the crafter mark that can improve a ilvl to 230 ?
for progression it might be ? the proc is nearly 200 str on a 165 ilvl
possibly, how early can you get that crafters mark?
i believe in the grind pre-raid
is that also rep gated
so depend just when it will be accessible ?
because, if you can, sure. it could be a solid placeholder
yeah
valor trinkets will almost instantly replace it due to the irrelevant item level
well never ever saw blood scaled yet even up to now
yah.... and warrior will be more desired
i still say pw will be BFA all over again
dogshit in pre-patch, x.0, meh in 9.1 fucking gods in x.2/3
Reprisal on Boots or Legs? AH price for boots is 4.4k and legs is 21.5k. I have far better legs at the moment but I dont want to mess this up. Thanks in advance for the help.

Not really, but it'll probably be nice to have paired with shard in 20+ keys.
As an extra defensive every other pull or so.
shard?
the heck is shard
Then skulker/phial for raids
Sorry, heart.
I dunno why my brain keeps thinking shard.
al'ar, right?
ye
I figured, but didn't know if I was being a weenie hut jr attendee
i have no idea what that means 🤣
Didn't know if running heart and scale was too defensive.
refering to the latest pin for al'ar
scale is good almost regardless, as long as you use it, as it also does decent damage and is on a relatively short cooldown compared to its power
Just upgrade it 4head
any abilities which should not be placed on our bar really?
WW
Revenge is just better at doing the same thing
Everything else I can think of atm is at least situationally useful
i don't remember if they made slam baseline, or just arms/fury
okay whirlwind is what I was looking at specifically
unless they buff existing legendaries/add new ones, it will remain the go to
ok thanks
just wanted to check before i upgraded it
Do we know what slots the new special socket gear will be
Plate: chest, helmet, shoulders, bracer, gloves
Anyone got a good playlist I can listen to while I wait for my guild to figure out M xy?
just loop the curb your enthusiasm theme
What does weapon (mh) change exactly for us anyways all attacks more flat dmg I guess on abilities
Bonk harder
harder bonk mean enemy dead
enemy dead mean less damage
weapon is mitigation
📠
I got it boys, with the greediest build possible. my guild now hates me
good 
I went back to Venthyr for sire
Kekw
Literally F p2
P2 as a tank is just big dumb
Not even worried about doing damage when you're puckering your bumhole and having to leap all over the place smh
condemning remornia is big if u need it
unluck
Since my cotank is a blood dk
ah
So I get to do all the leaping around for hands and wracking pains

Which means my booty gets slapped a little bit

feelsdhman
Honestly though venth will be super nice in p3
Well this is an awkward question to ask but, is execute/condemn a spender for prot?


Christ alive.
Why are M+ pugs so damn stupid.
I'm doing a 19 PF and I have to type into /party "Come up the stairs and LOS why the fuck are you fighting down there???"
During the Blightweaver plagueborer cheese on Ickus' first two packs.
how are they gonna dps whilst LoS 
cant convince a single pug dps on this planet not to hit stuff
Or „ah nah why killing those low hp mobs who run away into other grps“....
Holy fuck when DPS don't slow slimeclaws
I wanna scream
Same dungeon from the DH
"Why aren't we just invising?"
Because it's like 10s and a waste of a pot. This way you have pot for boss
It's like dealing with children
Swear to god
we are children 
or when theres 1 caster
that requires a kick
but everyone " has cds running"
dont kick him and he jus tkeeps casting
Yo dawg
I'm gonna just
stop you right there
I'm not sure my blood pressure can handle it
So.
Cheers
or when you assign kicks
people dont kick
go in balls deeps to mobs you've only bodypulled
get aggro and die
tank ?
i hated playing ravager but i can see why now
ravager OWNS
Ravager is the swollen shiny tip of a properly veiny pull.
ravej 
just feels like you need 2-3 globals to setup everything
it's mostly because the only people left playing this patch are the glue sniffers
It hurts. I wanna break 2K
I hit a few 22k condemns tonight on sire as prot
that's hot as fuck
The only time I feel like i need globals to set stuff up is when I'm just trying to build rage to spend on condemn lmao
Very concerned for you if you feel like you need 2-3 globals to setup a random pull in m+
Ravager, avatar charge revenge go brrr
well yeah i kinda use Demo shout on open
with ravager
I play the revenge talent too
its just for mitigation
You can do all of that before you're really even engaging the mob tbh
but im not even good at prot I just recently started taking it more seriously
throw the ravager you mean ?
Throw ravager
Avatar
Charge
Demo during charge right before mobs
Profit
Or just hold demo
hmm fair enough
Since you're not really needing to throw it on CD like you would if running BV
i guess you keep avatar mostly for snap threat on big pulls
i recommend using AM
^
AM is so nice to play with, it's like being a fury warrior popping CDs every single pull

Ok is bedtime
It's why I play warrior tbh. It feels more visceral and brainy in terms of required mental throughput.
Plus the interplay with AM and rage expense, SR cheese, etc.
It's just a really engaging tank spec.
Honestly if DK didn't feel so slow by comparison I might've played it instead.
BDK requires some serious wrinkles
I just enjoy facetanking everything, miss me with that kiting shit
anyone got an easy ignorepain/shield block WA laying around?
If it's to track uptime just make an icon wa and set trigger to aura and tick the "show cooldown" in display tap.
cheers
Which better for Nadjia, Exacting Preparation or Dauntess Duelist for single target?
Also, Does EP affect permenant weapon chants or only the oils/stones?
Avatar is free stonks
@strong forum As a BDK, seeing melee as my highest, or one of my highest dmg sources is so depressing. Almost like my skills dont matter.
What do you think of the two new conduits? Potency and Endurance?
I mean, if I could use that warlock one, it'd be niffty
Are there any new class conduits coming??
Not that I know of
50% uptime on 60 main stat sounds a bit meh
It's better than brutal vit or fueled by violence
Yer

But im trying to compare them to PV unvering and stalwart
Well we will have access to more conduit slots
True
The healing one for a 3rd endurance slots dont sound bad
Better than BV and fuled anyways
Guess we will have to see
I read that it's 100 on a specific ilvl
120 main stat with 50% uptime isn't terrible
Bare in mind those numbers likely arent final yet, either
Its not a lot of main stats tbh even at 100
And if thats max lvl most people wont even get it at that
just dont force me into another tier of show of force...
3p is possible
Can thank fury for that one
yw
yw
Well thank blizzard really for bad design
:angery:
honestly, it was a poorly designed conduit
:xeosL:
that was only comparable in high aoe on one spec
the nersf it received were an overreaction, at the minimum
It was cuz fury could cleave it
Well design 4 covenants and 12 soulbind to be within 1% of yet other for all classes and specs
That's why it got nerfed

If would be fine if you can't cleave it onto 5 targets
But then you have the shiny button
Let me cleave SS into 5 targets


Fury doesn't deserve MS
fury gets nuked in pvp
As it should
back to the original topic, for the other 3 covenants, I can't think of the main stat buff being potent enough to replace the reduced AA cd and damge or the Spear buff conduits
and consider that our stats are also going up as well
That's still good
Like noone had 226 conduits
so it will be more like 4%
approximately
everything is better than show
please rework prot pot conduits blizz
But it also gives rage gen that conduit
Yes that's what makes PV better
I would say equal maybe slightly less
depends on the content
Hi guys, dumb question cause m going to try prot as venth warrior for casual keys : what covenant do you recommend? Thanks
(I have reprisal)
For casual keys doesn't matter
Yeah I guess but I'd prefer not make it harder for no reason
Then venth and necro are the worst choices
Ok that doesn't help
Well I won't so what's next
Venthyr
Necro in casual play is by far the worst
Venthyr isn't good, but it'll get the job done
Oh sorry my question was not correct, I meant what soulbind not what covenant sorry sorry
Thanks dude
hi guys i know that u probably get this question a lot, but ive been struggling on my prot warrior on 14-15 keys
can some1 look at my character and tell me whats wrong
i need some tips for 9.1 :)
Post logs for help, not a rio page 🙂
Logs or a video will help a lot more than character sheet
hi i got on vault 226 legs with haste/mastery and trinket what heals me if i used it what should i take? Legs i play with legendaries
is that trinket slimy consumptive organ by any chance?
its terrible
id take legs in case you play with another legendary/another spec someday
ok i can build feet with repisal
or i can play with Wall on shoulders
ok trinkets blood scale i use with pvp haste trinket also on 220 i have phial
alr sry will do now!
PF we had a leaver
NW we depleted it by 5 mins or something
Im not a pc so cant check blocked hits if someone can do that for me i can do the rest
Your casts are stupidly low, your runnin at like 45 CPM, where you should be around 60
This is bad because you are loosing out on so much rage over the dungeon
For instance id exepct your SS casts to be around 10-12 CPMs and TC around 10 yours are like 8 and six
So your missing out on around 100 rage a minute
oh my... 100 rage sounds like a lot
also i just feel like im taking too much dmg
idk if that has to do with my cpm
cuz i have to spam Ignore pain to stay alive
This is why i wanted to check blockes hits
But i cant im not at a pc
You should never need to spam IP
Your casting it far to much
Revenge should be your top cast ability
At like 13 casts per mintue
revenge?! dude i thought revenge was some kind of rage dumper
Its our main damage ability
And IP is our rage dumb it doesnt keep you alive thats what sheild block is for
Your cds usage isnt great as well your running AM which means you SW if on a 1:30min ish cd u used it 8 times in 42 mins
And last u didnt use much more
And your running unerving which makes LS insane as it it give so much rage for ither magic damage reduction or dps
LS and SW arent oh shit buttons they are part of our rotation
As your running repirsal you should he using BSC as it does more damage than BV and you dont need the rage
@sweet summit or @strong forum can u check blocked hits im on mah phone
I'm also on phone
F
:O
im kinda lost, what you mean by "your running AM"
Your using anger management talent
Thought so
God gamer phone User here

thanks ^^
So for reprisal thats a pretty low blocked hits as well
You probablu arent managing your shield block correctly which is why u feel like you need to spam IP all the time
This all sort of leads back to low spell usage
For instance u have less rage you cant SB when you need to
i feel like im using SB on cd tho
You also have low intervene casts its cd is 30 secs and you should use it on cd with reprisal u have 22 casts in 42 mins
Yer but you could be wasting it
You dont just use it on cd
oooh that makes sense
You use it when you are being meleed
Like there loads of times in NW where things just cast
And arent hitting you you put shield block up then its useless
TLDR you need to press your button more like way more
And you need to manage shield block more effectivly
And not just dump rage in IP
okok, ty so much dude i appreciate the help!!
ill just have to "study" where to SB
and manage better LS and SW
For instance it doesnt matter if you use shield on cd to start with
But LS and SW can be used as filler when u dont have sheild block
And things like if a pack are dying or your kiting or there are casts going off u dont need shield block just save it
Shield block can be up nearly the whole time on most trash packs. Between shield block, shockwave, and other CC you should really aim for it to feel like 100% even if it's only 75%
But get your CPM up first tbh youll have much more rage to play with
Like a good number of blocked hits to aim for with reprisal overall is 80%
With some builds/play u can get 100
Basically the pack should be mostly dead by the time you start running out of options for shield block
also ive been wondering, while im on LS buff what should i do?
Don't Die
yeah that was also a problem
Whatever you need to with unvering you will get loads of rage so dumb IP till u have it twice then spam revenge
idk if i was anticipating my cds but when i had nothing the pack was still alive
Tank survivability heavily depends on dps doing their job well
Yo bois, quick question from fellow war. I'm maining fury from like forever and trying prot every now and than. I'm pretty sure how to utilize reprisal leggo and feel pretty confident with that but the question is about reverb one. Reverb is a shitton of damage and there's no better feeling than spitting on some dps in the meter below you kek. I couldn't find anything about playing with reverb so if u got any idea what should I focus on and what numbers should I expect (blocks, rage waste, mitig etc) I would be glad for any suggestions.
100% parse for attention, running with cheat death trinko for safety reasons ^^:
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/yxaKwzgjDQnB1ZP4#fight=last&type=damage-done
The thing you're giving up by playing seismic is a ton of survivability, like alot
You only have 60% blocked hits
Parse in m+ means nothing tbh, and reverb is only used for damage like only that you get not defensive value out of it so your mitigation is uber low
U can run reverb in low keys
And mists
Thats it
In mists you can get away with playing seismic, but generally it's not worth. It's not even that much of a dmg gain, your 4.8k log dps can be achieved with playing reprisal aswell but you'd have 85% blocked hits
☝️
It's fun if you fully commit to mongo dps
With seismic
But it's not recommended for anything but keys below 20
Around 20 I guess you can still play it, but with Bolster
And then you might aswell not play seismic
Cuz why play seismic + bolster when you could run reprisal + am
Ya know
☝️
Regarding tips, you could defo focus more on pressing buttons. 10 cpm of SS is relatively low
And with playing seismic I think you can get those revenge casts higher
Ooooh
You ran booming voice
That's a HUGE DPS LOSS when playing seismic
No wonder you didn't do more
@brittle silo
You absolutely need to play BSC with Seismic
Aswell as your trinket choice is overkill. But you're not a pwar main so I guess...
You didn't waste notable amounts of rage so that's fine.
Just could generate a bit more, press SS a bit more, spec BSC instead of booming and yeah that's pretty much it combined with what I said generally regarding the legendary
'Point up'
@strong forum yea, fully agree with reprisal dmg and survivability. I think I can use it, thats why i didnt send u reprisal log (but will try to get one in a while). Reverb is my goto on weeklies just for the memes. about BV vs BSC it was the run i tried BV to add up 20% dmg buff for all (Rava + aftershock etc).
About CPM, should I prio SS over revenge on trash, i'll get deeper into log but pretty sure SS was down for revenge spam
Anyway, thanks for analysis and tips 😉
And in addition, I dont plan using reverb on anything higher than ~17-18. I like my HP nice and above 0 😄 ^^ Maybe I'll get into tanking more in 9.1 so i'll get some more 'on the go' knowledge.
Last thing I wouldn't mind for any info is what trinket should I get for that key? Scale + phial / SLG / decanter? Or sunking + one of them, or anything else u'd guys recommend?
question, how much haste is too much haste for prot?
There isnt too much
The damage buff from BV is far less than you buffing all your revengs and second revenge damage
Like its not even close
Theres a pin on when to use sunking trinket, honestly scale and phial is fine but in less than 20 i run phial +hymnal/decanter
You dont really need the defnesive trinket at thoughs lvls
Thanks! I saw that pin on al'ar but I wasn't sure if full monke revenge spam is counting as misplay (point no 2) or good idea.
Anyway, again thx for your time.
Take care & stay safe guys!
can someone tell me whats the best covenant to run for mythic keys???
i hope you dont say night fae
Its NF or kyrian
If your not gunna raid then its skews even more towards NF
That being said as prot you can be any cov you want they are all pretty close
And none will hold you back
Okay im Kyrian i just hit level 33 in my covenant
except for ven/nec in m+
Spear of Bastion is pretty strong kite mechanics in m+, I can highly recommend it 🙂
Both are fine the top prot in the world was venthyr for a very long time
You SS > revenge in trash to maintain rage generation so that you can revenge more in the fight.
Thats pretty obvious. The highest dps spikes I get is while I'm on ravager + aftershock and I'm literally flooding in rage than. I feel like additional shieldslams would overcap me on rage, but will get a look into that. Probably can squish some more ss's into the fight. Thanks!
anyone has a prot war vod of sludge mythic, i couldnt fine any for sense on his twich
I have a whole video but its centered more around how to uae reprisal on the fight
my transmog is demanding i go venthyr for the shield
For a first time, would u advice to use that or the wall? Also I see some use HR on that boss, better than Anger management?
Would love the vid also if u can link
Its a fight made for repisal and that alone gives you 100% block
U dont need hr
i dont see how it could look much better
In this video I discuss why I used reprisal for mythic sludge fist and how I used on the fight.
Talents run - Devastator/ Double Time/ Booming Voice/ Bounding Stride/ Indom/ Into the Fray/ Anager Management
@wild sandal
Thank you
Even with wall + am you can get 100% blocked hits, reprisal just makes it 20x easier ( and more dmg)
Playing HR in raid is just plain stupid
@ionic fern is this good for pot woyer? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/448862929564205078/852184529580982282/unknown.png
Don't take Lincoln seriously
that's like 200 or 2000 hp every 10 seconds
He is simply Mwahi's biggest fan
that sounds like absolute dog shit
it's also an endurance conduit which we have stalwart guardian reduce SW cd as our main one
we get access to more conduitslots in 9.1
when you start talk about 9.1., what is your opinion for soulbind as kyrian ? Mikanikos looks sick, but dunno 🙂
see what happens when we get there
Mikanikos seems to be really nice for m+ yes, and Pelagos will prolly remain the defensive pick, Kleia still for necrotic weeks
Mik 📈
im not his biggest fan. im his cat

2 legs not before final content patch of the extension
need to tank today the first boss mythic any things i need to consider (special cd for the tank hit or something like this)?
have fun
first boss is just taunt on 10
whoever doesnt have the debuff, tanks. thats it
First boss is easier than last 3 hc well used to be after the nerfs to the last 3 no clue anymore
what would be better signet 235 or reprisal 190 don't really think there is much chance to charge
on first boss id run signet tbh
the boss is so easy
trying to get charges in when youre "scared" of it can fuck up shit
Homest i basicslly just charge when im about to taunt or if there are adds
Otherwise nah
breh its shriek only
you can defo get charges in for a bit more rage and the revenge proc
but if youre not confident you can also just run signet and call it a day on shriek
thanks will see hopefully i can just dps and our maintank do all the shit 😄
i could use some advice on heroic sire. phase 1 is fine. we plow through that, but phase 2 is just messy. all kinds of stuff going on. i'm trying to keep straight whether i should be on boss or sword, and it's just really hectic.
we're trying to get our raid team in place for 9.1, and i'm afraid i'm not making a very good impression as a tank
i'm trying, but shit just keeps going wrong.
You swap on every wracking pain
Try to hit the cabalist with wracking pain, but don't hit the entire raid doing so
i keep getting fussed at for that. not hitting the raid, i know better than that, but not hitting the cabalist, because i'm playing hot foot trying to stay out of the crap on the ground and sire always seems to be facing the wrong way when wracking pain hits
positioning in phase 3 is where i really struggle, other than getting turned around when i'm going through mirrors
Well he will always do a wracking shortly after cabalist spawns, and then one more 15ish seconds after that, followed up by hand of destruction so plan for that

P3 is mostly about moving him into soaks so melee will help soak, standing close to middle prior to ravage, and moving to an edge/corner before hand of destruction
if i were to compare how i feel phase 2 with the mirrors to real life, the comparison that comes to mind is when i try to fire a Beretta 9mm one-handed. the weapon doesn't sit well in my hand, so when i fire it, it twists and i have to pause to reorient it before i fire again. that's how i feel when i go through the mirrors.
As in physical discomfort or as in not used to it?
Yea I get that too, it helps me to visualize where I wanna end up after going through the mirror, you don't have to rush to the adds, so you should have a moment to orient yourself
i think it's a "me" thing too, because i'm having similar problems with other dungeons. yesterday i accidentally pulled the first gatekeeper in NW when i intended to pull the pack to the right of it because i got disoriented.
How long have you been tanking?
i don't recall this happening before, at least not to this degree. i've been tanking off and on since vanilla, but i've put serious effort into learning to be a better tank in the past couple months.
Might just be nerves then, sounds like you are trialing for a tank spot?
yeah. and it's not going very well. the expectation is that i should be easily timing 15s, but i'm struggling to get 13s and 14s done in time.
i got some advice from the folks here a few weeks ago that pointed me in the right direction with my logs.
Timing 15s is not just part of the tank 😉
it's an expectation the guild has, and i need to meet it
Unless you are dying every other pull or doing super tiny pulls its most likely not just your fault those keys aren't being timed
is there any way i can make that gif stop looping? it's really annoying.
i'm trying to keep pulls reasonable, a couple - three packs at a time. i've been learning how to make routes with mdt. sometimes i use dratnos' or others, but i'd like to use my own.
Are you running the keys with the guild?
