Not the conduit choices

I'm torn between AAF and Show of Force.

blazing condor
#

I usually pop last stand if its up and not needed in execute phase

#

Gotta get that pump

placid river
#

I've disregarded AJ completely

jagged pier
#

AJ is better than both in raid

placid river
#

I'm on the M+ wagon for the moment, but I'll keep it in mind

jagged pier
#

Theres like a .5% difference for AAF 'IF' u keep it up

#

So SoF probably better

#

But they are both like a 40dps increase anyways

placid river
#

Where do you get numbers from?

jagged pier
#

A man that doesnt have a mohawk

languid juniper

Just make unnerving focus a potency conduit already copium

How does the Glory legendary stack up to reprisal? I’m a really big fan of the banner and the legendary sounds cool but I don’t want to be majorly disadvantaged by not using reprisal

reprisal is good as it is

but unless they fix the issues that the leggo itself fixed for us we will never really get something else

unless the new leggo does everything reprisal does PLUS something else

did it get easier to switch Covenant or nah?

Switching is still the same

If you've been nightfae before they wiped it

never been NF before

only Kyr and Venth

did M+ get harder? or does it just drop better gear?

both

its scaled

so a 15 is like a 18 maybe

ah ok

so i should be able to do 10s right off the bat if i have KSM?

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to find out how the 'avoidance' stat effects rage generation for prot tanking.

#

can anyone tell me if it harms rage generation at all? I have 2 helmets that are the exact same just that one happens to also have avoidance on it and want to make sure that the stat isn't a detriment to prot warrior

sweet summit
#

in retail?

strong forum
#

Avoidance reduces aoe dmg taken by a %

mighty path
#

yes retail

strong forum
#

You don't actually avoid the attack

#

But parrying or dodging an attack does in fact not generate rage

#

And rage from damage taken is just 3 per second

#

Not more

mighty path
#

hm, so definitely a plus for AoE fights but possible minus for single target

sweet summit
#

what

strong forum
#

Avoidance has no downside

#

What

sweet summit

it just reduces the damage you take from abilities that have the potential to hit more than one target peepostudy

any anima power in the new raid that is super good for 1st boss?

fringe marten
#

Only done one dungeon with it so far but I got the 233 tank trinket from HM Taz, and it's kinda' like hungering spike..offensive/defensive same time.

#

Wasn't as much damage as phial, but had some ok healing done.

#

It has a lot of stam on it..but no str so it's sadface a bit...if it had str it would be a much better trinket.

#

Is there any tank at ALL in shadowlands that says "Thank god I got a trinket with lots of stam instead of mainstat" ?? like who did they make it for?

sweet summit
#

no lol

#

idk tbh

fringe marten
#

Exactly...like WHY?

#

In fact when ever..except maybe during vanilla? MAYBE BC? Did tanks say "GOD I wish I had just a little more HP instead of more mitigation/damage..we coulda' beat timed that event.."

crystal nexus
#

i love having more HP... but armor and mainstat are linked together sooooo damn

fringe marten
#

Yeah but HP hasn't been a legit stat for survival in a very long time because of how homogenized armor is. Your equipment and class give you the HP the devs intend you to have for the content you should be able to do at your iLevel..hence why we SO rarely even want to use a 'defensive' trinket at all.

vast cape
fringe marten
#

If we didn't get more HP per stam..or? some armor didn't have stamina or something...MAYBE you'd care about HP; but you'd care SO much you'd have to use stam flask/trink/everything you could because tanks would be getting dunked constantly. IE why they can't design content like that.

#

The only problem with leaping over the spike balls is that..as a tank; you're gonna' need your leap shortly after for the thrown weapon mechanic so 😦

fringe marten
#

What does it tell you when someone says "I don't wanna use Phial because..then I feel like every other tank and a basic bitch..I wanna flex and be different" (Inferred meaning of his statement) Too bad bitch...it's the best, suck on it like the rest of us.

#

I'm not looking forward to farming that zone again either; I'm hoping the raid or tazavesh provided something spicier/better.

#

At least there's like..one tank trinket tanks actually want; the scale... Too bad it isn't like legion where I really wanted the armor proc trinkets because they were awesome..and make you do more dps =\

#

Or like the Ocular gland trinket...who's making these trinkets? What is wrong with them.

Is it better to use both charges of Shield Block at once or one and then the other when it's about to fall off?

mossy peak
#

they stack

#

and also stack with reprisal

#

so that's only a question of rage expense/management

celest glade
#

So like when I'm pulling a pack in m+ do I wanna use them both up front and then start doing damage and stuff or one charge, do some stuff, then the next charge, etc.

mossy peak
#

if you're in m+ you likely are using reprisal and have shield block immediately

#

but again

#

it stacks

#

it's up to you

#

spend your rage how you want as long as you get the uptime

#

and you should keep a charge on cd

celest glade
#

I don't have it yet I'm just tanking offspec and don't have the soul ash yet

#

Ah okay thanks

mossy peak
#

whether you spend them both immediately or space it out is the same result

celest glade
#

Cool cool

inland raft
#

Dont overcap block uptime (18s) and dont overspend ie spend when pull is over or if kiting and not actively blocking, past that doesnt really matter how you spend charges since they stack additively

wraith plank
#

Asking this again cuz I got no answer. When should I use the wall vs reprisal? I'm not entirely sure on the best times to use each

steep wraith
mossy peak
#

shield wall blocks single moments of large damage

#

shield block mitigates constant damage

#

the kind you take while actively tanking

#

if you are going to be actively tanking for most of or an entire encounter

#

such as trading between the boss and adds, or holding a single target the entire time

#

reprisal should be your consideration unless its movement requirement is impossible

#

if you are going to be actively tanking infrequently and it is more important for you to mitigate large hits more frequently

#

you would want to use the wall

#

and remember that survival is your first and biggest duty, but if you haven't unduly taxed your healers, you can't oversurvive

mighty valley
#

from what raiders have been saying there isn't really a bad fight in sanctum for Reprisal?

#

so it basically comes down to: use reprisal all the time if you're willing to find the spots to charge/intervene

quiet crane
#

There’s nothing currently that makes use of the wall outside of personal preference and even then it’s greatly outweighed but reprisal

wraith plank
#

Thanks everyone. What about for m+? Reprisal?

mighty valley
#

Yep, always

#

well, until you no longer care about survival and just want to pump damage

#

then Seismic

mossy peak
#

reprisal gives everything you want and more in m+

#

you are the only tank and it gives you high shield block uptime, it gives you block and revenge immediately on pull to not die and establish threat

#

and you can easily weave it while naturally kiting and positioning mobs

It’s quite easy actually - when you got excess rage you have two options: Revenge or Ignore Pain. Most of the times you will use revenge for extra damage, but if you need the extra protection or smooth damage intake, like if its heavy magic damage for example, then you put it in Ignore Pain

#

Revenge is cast very frequently even without procs because of this

#

And is our top dps in dungeons

When I run dungeons I usually only press IP if I'm going to overcap and am global locked, or if I'm dry of defensives and need to smooth the damage.

IP is very feely and depends on your preferred playstyle

#

So there’s no hard rules on when to press what

#

Just gotta feel what you like the most
