what a chad
So what is everyone taking for M+? I've been doing crumbling bulwark..the 10% aoe reduction..kings barbs and then the stone bulwark thing.
stone ward~ whatever that thing is.
I usually just take barbs, 10% interrupt dmg, the 5% vers one and the 20% shield
Pretty balanced pick
the vers + damage reduction for a few seconds at combat start is good
Depends on the key though
Felt good with those on a 17
If i do lower id stack more dmg
yeah same as me.
Pretty much what I take @fringe marten
that's crumbling bulwark (the first one)
sometimes I go the magic damage reduction
like the end of halls because the last boss dot hurts
I feel like the stand still and become empowered one would be pretty good if we didnt have to be charging/intervening around all the time
could be decent on some other tanks
hr might help with that but it might not make up for losing AM
I had that thought today too
taking less dmg upfront from the power -> then you get the buff from standing still sounds pretty good to me
but not for us warrs
could see it on stuff like bear or dk imo
good procs?
Imagine not using agi pots for the extra armor and crit
Smh
Amirite @sweet summit
nah u pot haste
😎
get show of force or w/e it's called
Bro
that new condensed anima sphere is POG AF
Replace brutal vitality with unnerving focus
I'm kinda' wanting to run a key with Kleia..she has her 'new' tier unlocked and those skills are pretty solid...they aren't mikanikos solid..but
Are we going to get Soulglow Spectrometer and Reactive Retrofitting next week? or 2 weeks?
I don't even care what conduits he has..once those unlock it's Mikanikos the rest of the tier for me.
Why would you use those over stalwart guardian though?
for that defensive socket.
SR working as intended in spires
LOL is that from the birds?
yeah, managed to aoe reflect 6 casts on the spear pull
dude if you reflect enraged ..whatever that ability is..on the whole pack..holy SHIT
then popped spear right after
it's MADPAD
FML do I have to farm up new trinkets? Says I cannot upgrade them any further in M+
If you're moderately geared you can easily solo uhh? Watcher Yorrik...the eye in the rift, near the 'vault' entry or whatever on the island in Korthia.
Because his main channeled damage, you can reflect most of them...it's busted
Snaeb it's a new season.
i dont have anything else
look on the right lol
this character is 2-3 weeks old
ohhh
I thought stalwart guardian was one of the ones you got for free when you opened up kyrian? You get stalwart and Piercing verdict I thought?
you get spear and 2 other meme conduits
ohh..boo.
I'm just legit thankful we're one of a few classes that's really just been able to start with a covenant and keep it through now as one of if not the best option.
Competitive mages have had to change races (for a day or so before they patched the new leggo) craft up a new leggo they never used...change covenenants and specs now..
just did torghast, prot warrior are stupid strong lol
i was looking at my stat weights a bit for pushing keys and raid prog. Besides farming vers and haste how much mastery should i be looking at if there is a guidline for it
There are no magical stat %s
Ilvl>haste>vers>crit/mast
oh you put haste above versa?
Of course
damn alrighty figured i needed pretty high versa for high content
went NF 
Ive been fine with like 6-7% vers in 17s this week
oh damn how high haste do you have?
Like 34% i think
okay i really gotta work on that number then. Im currently running high versa which i prolly will keep on doing since im not confident enough running low yet :D
do you play high haste mid vers on everything or is that a tyrannical thing
or is it that the content isnt hitting hard enough yet
I feel like we are really really tanky, would It be a Big dps increase to use seismic over reprisal? I have already checked the pins but I still have the doubt
On m+ I mean
Its the glass canon legendary
i could definitely see the mikanikos with kyr leggo just to blast when ur doing boosts
Im running fae
yea that should be more dmg ^^
Could natures fury be a bigger dps increase?
Seismic is better than that benne 👀
yep it really is but i wont do fae i believe ^^
its better dmg wise but overall id rather stay kyr tho i might have to go fae as my keys team dont have a fae soon maybe
ya i loved playing it as fury tbh but i dont htink i will do keys as fury anymore. The moment i started tanking i wasn no longer allowed to dps in keys lmfao
Got kyrian and venthyr leveled Up as well
Unlucky cant find one with natures fury
But venthyr protect feels like a joke
Are you running Ravager?
Ya @nimble laurel
Oh damn
Ye seismic is huge
Thanks a lot for the sims
I would take an educated guess and say seismic is better than natures fury for m+ damage

seismic is now BiS?
Nah reprisal is overall better
On boosts, maybe
Reprisal is sick
But at the cost of big survivability loss
Is Mikanikos better than Pelagos now as far as damage goes?
Going to sleep, thanks for the info, night night mates
Gn buddy
erga do you always run Ravager AM for keys or would it not also be pretty good going Ravager with HR or Bolster if you know the extra defensive could be huge
ravager is pog
Ya i always take ravager its just the AM im a bit unceratain about for higher keys where survival is a bit dodgy
AM?
Anger management
BSC RAV AM everywhere
you are afucking chad
dont even know what to say to that
fattest dick on the server
idk
no
Imean 17s are not that high 👀
nono not that high but if you said its your only tank set i kinda assumed it was for more than just 17s no ^^
but ill for sure try doing high haste build cuz i do see why it would be really good
haste pair very well for dps build
spamming that revenge fast feel so satisfying
yea its just the defensive side that im questioning a little bit going into the higher keys. Hoping to time a 20 or at least a 19 this week but idk the ratios ill go for ill have to do some testing
i running seismic but for defensive side reprisal is way cause i can feel it i need more SB uptime sometimes
yea that i do get i could really see the dmg leggos being insane for key boosting
intend on making the kyr leggo for boosting asap
i did a lot of boost with seismic tho i not sure kyrain is big upgrade to dps
Its a lot worse
with mikanikos and renown 57 its pretty good still
I’m struggling in 14s and reading 17s and 20s are not high? 
im guessing you would run booming voice and just always throw it down with demo shout
Bsc is always better for damage in dungeons
think it would be with mikanikos and kyr leggo even? you would get the dmg increase from demo shout on every spear
since its same cd on it then basically
damn taht sucks a bit
you can sim yourself always
yea ofc will do that when its out but wont be too relevant before renown 57 anyway
i usually do between 12-15k dps in 5 targets and 20-25k dps in 10 targets as venthyr prot warrior
you should be able to do higher as kyrain
yea it should be pumping pretty well or rather it already is
on the big pulls i do i usually out dps my outlaw mate lmfao cuz uncapped

Secret softcap 
kyr is blasting really hard imo
condemn go brr on tryical week
that i can imagine tho that must be pretty huge
yeah i start pull with 6k dps
recommended lvl for tazavesh?
hey this may be a dumb question but - I got a refer a friend
i bought them shadowlands, they purchased game time themselves
recently i noticed that they name changed or did something but just completely ghosted me
like unfriended me and transferred their char out or something
which is funny b/c we never really even spoke much - but anyways is there something the guy could have done to like remove the raf benefits I'd be receiving?

Probably if you have hands
this answer makes me want to go sleep instead
paladins have all the hands abilities
not me


i tried high haste and gotta say it seems pretty damn good but for the high tank dmg keys i dont think me doing more dmg is worth since i cant do big pulls
yikes
better be with gold otherwise big offff
if you studied guides then yes no then though luck
you need a team for higher keys tbh
to communicate cds and etc and they get used to your route
i had hunter in pug who pulled cds in small packs which it was dumb but it can happen in higher keys too
Changing some stats around isn't what is going to enable you to do big pulls
Or prevent you from doing them
^
i loved this trinket
It’s very doable
Very good trinket in keys
I feel pretty comfortable whilst tanking keys as of late
I mained a Prot Paladin on shadowlands release and got KSM. I decided to give Prot warrior a shot and I feel like it is quite superior. Maybe my play style is better for it but I did DOS last night and I normally feel like I am Kiting so much it feels bad but with warrior it seems so much better didn’t have problems with the first or second pull. I am loving Prot warrior
brown > pink
any oef you tried going left in DoS?
Im in same boat, 2k rio s1 as pally, warrior feels a lot more forgiving and can pull way bigger but also got less control over kicks and helping keep people alive so depends what you want to do really
oh well we have massive control over kicks's i'd say
Fully agree but I like the play style. And miss all my interrupts
I haven’t gone left but someone mentioned doing it, what’s the advantage supposed to be? Easier pull before cool downs?
nah you get 2 powers before first boss
that's basically all
and the pulls are different
as you do 1st big pack
then mastk
mask
Compared to paladin where you can solo kick like 2 mobs in each pack its def noticably worse in that dept but hardly matters when youve got 2 volcanic powers interrupting everything anyway
so your CDs are back up
Ahh it was a plus 8 doing a + 10 mots tonight
yeah I think the way of kickign is different, we have massive AoE kicks for big packs
pally can do sustained kicks
on specific mobs ^^
like SD before first boss
have you ever taken both tick packs before the boss together?
🙂
I played tauren pally so had war stomp and blinding light to cover just as much aoe stuff as warr. No that sounds too spooky lmao
oh well horde racisls op
Dos left route is nice, can cut down on 1 pull by taking the raging spirit + pack outside ardenweald into urn with BL and it means youve got necrotic for hakkar. I think you also get access to volcanic powers for spicy ardenweald pulls too but not sure on that one
nah volcanis is in mechagon dude I think
isn't it?
you get the shield
you have the chains guy and the frost guy
before 1st boss if you go left
Maybe. Frost guy is outside ardenweald and chains guy is inside right?
oh it was the fear guy
in ardenweald I think
the stack/spread one
yeah frost guy is on the ring
Getting 15% magic DR early in dungeon def nice for warr too
does anyone know how to reset tazavesh after you get the hard mode necklace?
just hitting reset all instances isn't doing it
No. In DOS with the Tormented Affix I go right, as normal, but go clear all the way around the ring (and dip into the first room of the gnomes wing) and then do ardenweald/broker first. This gives you all 4 anima powers before you even engage a boss.
adamant vault is the look right?
has there been any updates on the banner bug?
Relax they're a small indie company
what are the thoughts on the shackles of malediction
rather - is it worth the channel?
The 220 trinket?
No, it's dogwater.
Less damage than most on-use trinkets and twice the CD
If you go left first, you can skip the trash in front of hakkar while still getting the tormented mob. You'll need to save time on trash so Lust isn't sitting off CD for so long.
Hi guys what is the threshold % of Haste for Prot warrior?
Ok guys, so'asmi in hard mode... how do you get through that
like at what % of Haste should we stop, and delegate to other
there's not one
more vers if you're doing nosebleed keys and dying through mitigation
roger
does best served cold talent work with reprisal properly or is it only with blocks and parries?
ban furys 1/2
Hey guys for pug only, should I pick fae over Kyrian?
Or is that 9.0 stuff and 9.1 changes it?
9.1 doesnt really change it
it works with the reprisal proc
it should do thats how my group did it but then again i wasnt the one reseting, u can always use an alt though to get a full reset
Yeah we ended up resetting it with an alt. Loved the dungeon, some banger bosses
Got literally no gear so I guess maybe some 233s next week might be nice lol
ooo 1500 rio is pinkish score never been this colour before 👀
thats fair enough
for me i dont need anything expect the 1hand tmog
would the wall be good to run in mythic raid?
This is probably a very retarded question but i don't understand the wording of the reprisal legendary, "Revenge!, and generate 20 rage" - whats the revenge part about, it doesn't seem to read correctly to me? maybe i'm just being special
gives you the revenge proc
ah right ofc, ty 🙂
np
repirsals better
is it possible to pull tormented mobs without aggro other mobs around it?
yer
guys, where can i find a group for mitic plus 15+?
is there a way i can see how many damages/heal Bron did on a whole dung ?
i got 2,1k io 225 ilvl and dont have a group haha
theres not so much 15 atm... im timing all 13 1st
this new patch, is hard the dgs?
i did a top 15 and we didnt pass the first boss ._.
yeah, its sad this
im find groups fine not much issue
u can see that i hate pf
but its ez
i hate that haha
Pf is boooooring
ill do all 14 first so
honestly ive only done 15s and higher this season theres no point is doing anything less
i just wanna do all 15 more for look a group for +20
can u give me a good shield and sword for this transmog?
tbh its not so hard
prob are bosses having 4M HP or more
with war prot we dont usually have problem tanking bosses, but its like 4min or more killing a single boss
the only issue u dont have the pride damage so ppl still try and skip mechanics which cant happen anymore
and its made some bosses
like mists first boss alot longer
i wouldnt say harder
but longer
i didnt see any dg at momment
yh people just going on flasks and taking a bath
im looking for group only now
just pug thats what i do
Problem with tyrannical mists first boss is that people will mostly save cds for burn phase
So after the first burn
It’s looong to push the next burn phase
So it do be hurting eventually
Do you not lose most of the time you save to the extra running about you have to do?
I did your way Zetakya this morning seemed fine to me
Is ravager still the go in Keys?
Yes
There's almost certainly more than one way to do keys this season; it's not as limited as correctly placing Prideful was.
So far, my rough observations on M+ routes are that DOS and ToP are the two where you can make routing changes to maximize the number of powers you get early on in the dungeon.
Necrotic Wake is the only one where you can make major changes to the route compared to Season 1 (you can and should do more of the trash early on in the dungeon, and skip hard packs later on more)
The other 5 there's basically nothing special; you just run the dungeon and kill everything along the route and there's not really a lot of brain power required
You can do the skip before the first boss in Sanguine Depths after pulling the first miniboss, and do the room pull to the venthyr pot later on to maximize the buff if you want to
hey friends, does anyone know what night fae tree i should be using for M+ and raid?
Korayn to DPS, Niya or Dreamweaver to stay alive
How do you use condemn? If you have free rage, go ahead and spend it, otherwise hold for other things like IP/block?
No u onlt use it in ST and o ly when u have sb up otherwise u dont use it
Did you try using condemn with the war tank? How many damages you do?
With execute, you can go around 15/20k on crit
How many with condemn sir?
Everything I read says don’t use dream weaver but i main fury and Don’t have the conduit energy to swap fury conduits to korayn or Niya so I set up weaver for tank. That is okay right?
I think its niya for NF like 99% sure
I’m new to prot and have some probably stupid questions but I gotta ask - this is on the m+ guide:
Cast shield block as soon as you charge to get one of them in CD right away
But if I’m playing with reprisal shouldn’t I wait until the initial shield block is about to fall off before pressing it again?
the duration stacks
Ohhhhh
Does it only stack with reprisal? Like I can’t press both charges together and get it to stack right?
it does
So like what are the main picked anima powers
you can have up to 3 times the base duration
😛
So should I always just press it as mucu and often as possible?
Ah yes I see
Okay
So in theory maybe on a pack I’m going to charge > SB > thunder clap > intervene melee > SB and then start DPS?
with reprisal you have a free revenge proc
you want to use it before you intervene or charge again
charge > SB > revenge > TC > shield bash > intervene melee > revenge
just make sure not to cap rage
Doesnt TC still hit like a noodle? So i would still just press it if everything else is on cd
Shield block duration always stascks if u do something to add to it, upto 18 secs. But u shouldnt u should refresh as its runnig because u could waste effective uptime otherwise
U want to use it on cd still and at the start of an aoe pull as it hits everything around
It generates rage dont forget
2 things u should always use on cd SS and TC
But if you plan on intervene a dps i would do that to get another revenge
then you would not get the cd rolling on TC
My #1 concern starting to tank m+ is accurately following the correct path. Should I be using MDT to indemnify right paths early? I generally know them from being a DPS but don’t know exactly how many / which pack to pull
you can find routes on raider io or mythictrap
Honestly nowadays u can just press w and youll be fine with your route tbh
it's quite easy to understand what to do, and they are quite safe
U dont have to care about pride spawning and most dungeons literally give u count if u go from pack to pack
Okay cool
m+ right now is to get to anima mini bosses while trying not to go over 100% a lot
Use this : https://wago.io/Y1PUe9h95
And i ofc recmmand this : https://wago.io/IgnorePainTracker/19
helps a lot
it stacks up to 18seconds
no matter the source
with Bolster talented, you can get above 18 seconds as the SB granted from Last Stand doesnt count torwards the 18sec maximum
Next week is going to be interesting; the tormenters aren't an issue atm; but they're going to hurt a lot next week...I can't wait for someone to get insta gibbed by the fire tormenter (people die to it NOW..it's ridiculous)
why should they hurt next week?
they should get fortified boost
no?
what?! really?
Why not?
cuz theyre the seasonal affix
awakened didnt scale with fort
pride didnt scale with fort
why should tormented 
the azhara mobs didn't scale with fort? I thought they always did
Ok then nevermind...I was thinking they were going to get a bit spicier next week but oh well? good I guess.
Tried to tank heroic bosses yesterday, but felt so squishy sometimes... Would impending victory be better than the hp increase talent with the impending victory conduit?
Hm yeah
Is it better to use demoralizing shout with shield block or wait it to end first (using booming voice btw)
Look at eye kill
Stayed low for a lot of time during that fight
It was a kill but it was not clean
your blocked hits are fine but what is your build?
u should nt be running punish
devastor is far bette
fueld by violence and brutal vitaily are far worse than unerving focus and the new endurance conduit as well
Devastator even in pure ST then?
yer the other talents are fine
tbh it looks like your healers are healing that much they all a bit low
this discord is so wholesome, actually trying to help others improve. ❤️
Is there a good weakaura for things that are worth spell reflecting? I'm never sure when to use it
Can someone just quickly check over my logs and see if im doing anything majorly bad? First tier im raid tanking and I dont know if im doing something very wrong
cant see anything drastically wrong
If I like giving PI, will I like Necro?
🤷
i mean necro prot gives less damage to the raid than a BM monk
so just p[lay that
or paladin
YO BOIS, we kyrian now?
always have been
What are the best M+ powers to take from the mini-bosses? Is there a guide somewhere for what to take per dungeon if it's content dependant or are our best always the same?
Just test it out yourself, you don't lose anything and it's part of the fun to figure it out
The tanknotes.com has recommendations
thx
Scale is still king of trinkets, right?
OWS and Aegis are BIS I think? Raid and M+ both?
NF
scale is better for raid if im not mistaken and aegis for M+ soul is great overall because haste is juicy
Barbs. 😄
Tanks for checking (kek) if I go and do an m+ or two could you check the logs from there aswell?
Prolly not now tho
jeez Mwahi, now can you make sure that is always on the closest mini-boss at the start of each dungeon?
make it happen sir
make it happen
I had it on my 3rd one. 😦
sure
Pog thankss
M+ question, I'm currently at 22% haste and 16%vers. I'm thinking verse is better right now for me because reprisal gives me a ton of SB uptime and verse just helps passively with damage reduction and damage. Opinions?
no
haste is more rage
which in turn is more DR than vers will give u
and also 99% of suvivability comes from play
ive been timing 15s-17s this week with like 8% vers
k, thanks
Afaik vers only starts gaining value at significantly higher key levels where getting one shot becomes a real concern
Relative to haste that is
not really then tbh nerf did 24s in 9% vers
I run like 7% vers and 28 or so haste and have had no issues either
For sure
I’m in complete agreement, but I do think the value grows as keys get higher
Although clearly it’s not a strict requirement
We have shield block 😎 not a vers tank
I am usually a DPS but I'll be tanking this weekend for my guild be cause they need battleshout and the usual warr tank is away. I have the gear to do it but would like recommendations for tank guides and good video content. I have checked pins but wanted some discord input
Normal or HC?
Ah. Can't hel;p you myself, haven't got past him yet
With covenant leggo's are there sims of which one will bring the most dps to a key? Assuming for a second reprisal is unnecessary
seimic
If ur going for dps completely ditching reprisal then seismic is better than the covenant
the cov leggos do not do much damage at all
any suggestions on which anima powers to select in M+?
whichever u like
I like the fifth skull, the absorb shield, the burrs one, and the 10% damage reduction one
I forget the names honestly
Timed a +19 NW with my Heart of Azeroth equipped.
I like the vers one
Since I wear it for WPVP cheese on my server when I'm outside the SL.
Smoothbrain tech new meta
Give your healer a raise
:^)
I would, but the guild I'm in simps hard for me and if I show them any positive praise they only get emboldened.
🔫
Basically
I wish blizz had like a squirt gun or spray bottle toy
Or like a newspaper I can hit them with
so for dps, domination gear at heroic is worth taking over max ilvl without, does that hold true for prot?
ys
what the fk
fifth skull seems incredibly useless to me
I tried it out in some dungeons now
just did a mists 16 with double pulls whenever possible and it did 88 dps with 145 hits
dont think I'll take that again
yeah
i tried it with the slime pull before first boss in plaguefall and it was very underwhelming
like the 5% vers wouldve been about 250 dps for me
since i did 5k overall
and it has defensive value + the dmg reduction on start of the pull
that's not the same guy
interrupt is ice guy
skull/vers is fire guy
it's skull, vers+dr or mastery/crit iirc
and I'm not a big fan of mastery/crit 🤷♂️
tbh every power except for the barb king is very underwhelming
i hope they introduce some more
barbs are pretty sexy idd
is barbs better than the stand still one?
Barbs varies.
Don't bother with barbs if Executioner is super late in the dungeon
I suppose you can if you wanna be lazy, but it feels better if Executioner is super early like grabbing them soon in DOS when you do Ard
stand still one feels awkward considering how we play with reprisal
For DoS you just go clockwise and do Hakkar last imo
The only weird part is the patrolling rage guy on the left side ends up lining badly if you don’t have distract from a rogue
you do the full ring dipping into gnome zone
then ardenweald and dealer
so you have 4 powers before first boss
What power do you get from the guy in gnome wing I can’t remember which
it'll change each week i think but lemme see this week
it's soggodon in DOS I think
Cuz there’s only like 2 powers that matter so if you can get those without having to backtrack it’s probably not worth to do all the running to get the other 2
ya it is
it seems like the only two worth getting are executioner and firemage for the dps powers
I don't think you have to kill anything but the lieutenant in gnome zone
the others aren't such a big deal to me
Barns for tank and necro/axe/plumage for DPS are the only ones even remotely noticeable unless your healer is struggling for mana
Barbs*
we pulled haywire guy first but we didn't realize it was no social in that run
Shield one for dps makes em livelords
You go around the ring for all the Lt. and then you dip into Mecha for Soggodon, and then start Ardenweald > Mecha > Zul'Gurub
It's smoothbrain easy now
nice I like smoothbrain easy
We were 1 minute from 2 chesting a 16
SD is also smoothbrain now, literally just hold W
yeah
I dunno if adding an extra minute of pathing through the dungeon is worth getting the survival powers. At least on a 17 the only thing scary was accidentally pulling the rage guy into the caster pack on the left side
are ya'll having a ranged grab left lieutenant before first boss in NW
Them removing the doubts putting down the huge pools is so good
No, we skip past boss first, do Lt. then boss
You can also tag the upstairs guy and snap him down from platform behind first boss, but it's obnoxious and that guy has bad powers this week
but will likely be the play if there's good powers up there another week
That sounds really convenient since I typically skip most of that room (where the frost guy is)
frost boi
Oros
Oh, dude even on Tyrann Amarth is a joke
We ++ a 16 NW because we two-pulled Stitchflesh's room.
Because we had orbs.
Both of em
For the necropolis I typically grab the back left pack with the big patrol and orb, but have a lot of trouble getting any of the other three groups together for another big pull afterwards
How do you get the crafters to come in lol
They just sit there spamming throw flesh from 40 yds
you have to interruppt and then be physically close to them
ya you can deadzone em right
Okay
and then you can't move them very far until they try and cast again
there's a number of mobs that work that way they're pretty annoying
Orb silences them
Our hunter uses MD on me and traps the patrol so they're stacked on the left-hand pack
Then hits the right-hand pack and pulls the entire thing inward.
Druid typhoons the crafters up a bit and I can leap/charge onto them with orb ticking to walk them into the main stack give or take.
But with all our CDs + Orb + Ashen they don't stay up for long.
fo i change my bis 229 for random 229 ?
im really thinking going bolster for m+
why would ya
gonna give it a try
anyone got a link to a resource on trinkets for prot war? i got a 229 bloodspattered (kinda hype) should i use valor on it next week or will it be replaced by raid/tazavesh trinket
scale for raid
aegis for m+
its still a good trinket
aegis is just better in alot situations
what about non on use trinkets? is there a prio list somewhere?
the list is pretty short
would be that the defense matrix is good, old warrior soul is good, anima field emitter is good, phial of putrification is good
alright. so same as last seasion plus like 3 raid trinkets. got it
Basically
Harmonic Crowd Pummeler seems good on paper, but in sustained cleave it's had pretty mixed performance.
Doesn't warri have a second life like dh?
nope
never did
The one you prefer
because i have venthir last patch in fury
theyre all fine in raid
but in the end of the patch i swap to protc
in m+ you want kyrian or nf
must have or can i keep venthir?
venthyr is the worst in m+. but you will be fine if you dont push ultra keys
for just casual play venthyr is perfectly fine
because if i change i need level up again the cov
okay ty
venthyr its okay anw
but if i want change for mithyc the best recomendation is night fae right?
kyrian>=NF
ya
1-40 goes really fast yes
already change it
only 1 proc per minute, its pretty bad
Weird because it sims great
In pf how close is coldheart to yhe slimeclaws? Havnt been in there yet but trying to plan it out
having 31% base haste
is that aight
cause im sitting at 12% vers 31% haste
and dunno if i should go for some more vers instead
looks good to me
just pull them with coldheart I think
yeah playing him solo is a waste of time
does 0 tank dmg if you dodge the swirlies anyway
so you can easily take some trash with him
Just have to keep the slimeclaws from running to pull the pack on the stairs if you're taking the river route.
what is the last potency conduit i should use
i am kyrian, using Show of force, Stalwart, Piering verdict, and Brutal vital
ADAPTIVE ARMOR?
yes
ty, sorry for caps
Hey guys. The best dmg pot is fantomatic fire ?
What trinket are y'all planning to use secondary to aegis/scale?
physical dot is kinda cringe tbh
probably yes but its kind of overkill to use two defensive trinket unless you are pushing 20 above
I wasn't asking about wearing both
in what dungs or raid ?
Dungeons
i probably going to use Decanter of Endless Howling, Tormented Rack Fragment or Overwhelming Power Crystal
Old Warrior's Soul can be good too but i see no use for it in dungs
guys what do i do here, i have this helm
but i just got this one
is it worth switching them
and then socketing a shard of cor?
it is easy choose 233 with socket
check pins for shards
its the only shard i can socket there anyways
i not sure if you can swap or change shards but if you cannot i would wait until i get one i want to socket in it
you can
only got jas cor and tel rn
No idea which ones that is 
O really

you have to keep tap target XD

big money maker
I have 1 (((:
I have none XD
i wanted to give my head to one of our players that had 3 unholy shards already
couldnt cause ilvl :))))))))))))))))))))
Nice
- he gave bis chest with blood shard bonus
even if you have to give him/her scale XD
I see the block animation when painsmith hucks his weapon at me; is the initial strike on that mitigated with block?
did they fix the wb ? does it complete the quest now
yes
Haha me too brother all luck gone for the season
Question. Is everyone raiding with Reprisal or the Wall? I know boht are good but just getting some opinions
I raid with the wall myself. Raid - wall, mythics - rep
I raid with the reprisal except on some fights, like the Eye, and i switch to the Wall for more SW
reprisal is the only thing you should be running as its the most optimal
but you can succeed with the wall aswell if you dont wanna be zoomy boy
QUESTION, with domination socket gear relying on crit, does that change our stat priority from haste/verse to more crit?
Prolly not, haste is still our best stat (without sacrificing ilvl) until the magic number
hey guys whats the average shield block uptime percent wise that people are having with heavy repercussions?
SB uptime isn’t what counts, look at % of hits blocked
In this case between 85%+-5?
is there a way to check % blocked in details?
is the Wall viable for Mythic+ players? What slot should I be crafting it in?
I have Thunderlord rank 4 but I'm reading that it's not that great in practice.
I don’t think so. Have to log. I have a weak aura I made that does track this for m+ though. Can share when I’m at PC
i'm doing heroic SOD.. is it the best leggo is reprisal? cause at the moment ii'm just using the wall
thats what i heard from wowhead
icyveins says reprisal is best for m+ while the wall is still the top dog for raiding, but idk cuz i don't raid
ok.. i used reprisal before its ok.. but as it goes up i had to use wall
Anyone has tanked heroics the nine? Skyja is hitting ridiculously hard even when i have shield block up. Any tips to go around that in the event hard cds are down for the count?
Use your demo shout, dont waste block charges when not tanking, and coordinate bark-sac-PS with your healers
She should be hitting okay-ish tho
You can use spell reflect for 20% reduction from some aoe mechanics
just did, normal
Thing is, the other tank was kinda using all the other externals and i pretty much have to fend for myself even on 2-3 stacks of the debuff
Sounds like your other tank should be in a discord asking how to handle the fight :(
He claims to be getting trucked by mini eye's piercing lens, even with 1 ironfur up
Can we sim for prot ? Or should we go for ilvl ?
Ilvl
Sim is possible for damage
But this early on I'd suggest just hammering ilvl
And when you start getting sidegrades Sim for damage
Is venthyr even semi viable?
Yes
It's even gully viable
No covenant gives something prot can't live without
Venthyr just gives the least comparatively
rgr... im and M+ tank and A fury raider so im trying to figure out which way i should go
im currently necrolord
If ur dps as fury, you're inting if you don't go ven
To my understanding
Either way you can comfortably do whatever you need for your fps spec
its sad because i love necro so much i would be prot but my new guild doesnt need a tank..
Yah don't think about what could been just get your ape brain put and start condoomin
How much value has Strenght over Stats?
Usually i say: Up to 3, its ok and at 6 or more, change.
Im asking bc ive two itempieces with Crit/Mastery at an ilvl of 229. My actual Items habe 226 and Haste/Versa. I would go from unbuffed 23 Haste and 23 Versa down to 17% Haste and 16% Versa. Crit would go up from 6 to 11 and Mastery from 22 to 24.
Ilvl is always king
Even at 3 ilvls
Stats really dont mean nothing at all 95% of your suvivability comes from play 4.95% group play around up .04% otherstuff, like .01% stats
Uhm ok. It Just feels so bad loosig so much Tempo :(.
My other Question is:
Ive three Rings. 223 Haste/Versa from NW, 229 Haste/Mastery from DoS and 226 Crit/Versa BOE from CN. Ive equipped the first two and if i change the Haste/Mastery one with the last one i would go from 23 Versa uo to 27 but loosing 4% down to 19% Haste.
Is it worth?
“ILvl is king” because iLvl = +Sta, +Str, +Armor, +Secondary.
Neck and Rings are the slots where it’s a bit different due to no Str/Armor. You are still gaining the Stam and more Secondaries but that one’s closer
rings and neck are generally feelcrafty to your liking, however at around 10-15 ilvls, it is just an upgrade as more stats > less better stats
Has anyone done Painsmith heroic?
We started trying to cheat the spikes a little bit by not being totally in the corner for the big hits, for the second weapon onwards
It helps melee get to balls faster but it also hits the raid a little harder
Ball should almost be dead by ranged when reaching middle imo, don't think it's worth the extra damage on raid specially with mines to detonate shortly after.
@brave jetty Does your raid have trouble killing the ball fast enough?
You're on Tichondrius (US)?
Has anyone else noticed pain smith meleeing right before/during the axe throw if you’ve taunted him a little earlier? I got slapped for full hp as I still had the old debuff but SB/IP up. 😅
Looks like it happened on a few tries looking at my logs but never killed me
I always charge/interv before taunting (or just press SB 😄 )
Otherwise I would be dead cause I did take 65k
@jagged pier it's Tol Dagor all over again
👀
@formal grail So yeah from what I saw if you taunt when your co-tank get the debuff but he hasn't started casting yet you get melee
Shouldn't die with SB up but still hurt for nothing
Good to know 🙂
Yeah I feel like I'll start taunting when the channel starts but it would make the boss move. maybe I'll charge/intervene too and prep some cd for that one melee hit. Also, I hate being the tank having to deal with placing the axe in the corner mid spikey balls
How strong is the Inscrutable quantum device?
not really strong
K, ill just keep it for my deeps set, thanks 🙂
Maybe going into normal SoD as a 203 warrior wasn't a good idea either, i was fine up until those melee chonky hits 😄
You want to taunt painsmith from a few steps distance
He will have to walk before he has time to melee and start the cast
tricky timing then but thats a good suggest
I just started playing prot recently and I'm wondering when I should use IP? I always try to have it up for big hits but I don't have enough rage to do it. Usually guides just show the dps rotation
I mean if you need it to live then use it
Jsut make sure you exhausted other options first
@urban portal as using shield block first or how do you mean it?
Dont use it, unless you have shield block up and have mucho rage to spare and for some reason don’t wanna slap with revenge.
Ravager's rage generation doesn't scale with number of mobs right? It just gives rage per tick regardless of targets?
Ya
hmm the last anima power dude in SoA.. I cant reliably pull him without getting the mobs in front of him in combat. is it supposed to work with los behind the ledge of stairs?
u can pull him fine
max range heroic throw and leap away from him right away
you dont need to line of sight him
hmm
ok ill try
silly question, but is there any reason why so many high-ranked prot warriors are venthyr right now? offspec for raid maybe?
what do i do if i play a less mobile tank?
someone else can pull him
mage with blink, dudu with wild charge, hunter easy peasy, there is always a way i believe
ok thanks!
theyre dps for raid
hi guys
my friend has %25 shield block buff uptime in dungeon. is it normal or too low?
yes
Then it’s waaay to low i’m afraid.
Must be a nightmare to heal
okay thanks. gotta talk to him
Worst thing is, it’s also a huge DPS loss not to take full advantage of Reprisal.
You’ll lose DPS and mitigation
thats really really low but uptime doesnt really tell us much do u have logs?
has anyone been able to test if the Blood Link shard of dom set is AOE or ST?
well this is a raid log so cant really say in terms of a dungeon, but he is defiantly doing stuff wrong even in raid, even down to talent choice and conduit choice.
so lets start with talents, the talents hes running in the raid log are the correct talents for mythic+, however in a raid situation he wants to be running booming voice and into the fray, instead of best served cold and ravager
conduits - hes using brutal vitality which is the 4th best endurance conduit for us. he should be running unvering focus which is by far our best conduit.
yo, how much are we simming ST with a max ilvl profile atm?
his blocked hits which is the big thing is like 60% on tarragrue from what i see which is very low, i had a look at my log from our normal run (as we are start hc tonight) and on normal without tracking my shield block i was at about 80% blockedhits
which means hes number one not using shield block correctly. and also fomr looking at his casts he not using his legendary alot ither, which both contribute to the low blocked hits
for instance he intervenes once in 5 mins
he can intervene on cd or when hes tanking the boss to increase though blocked hits.
less than bdk afaik 
just under 6k
cool thanks. so around 5.5k without exec?
his cd useage is also a bit off but its the first 2 bosses but he dont use them much at all like 1 cast of shield wall even though u could use it 3-4 times during the fight
in general his casts our pretty low, i know the tarrague has some the kiting stuff so all CPMS are a bit scuffed, but if i segment my log and your log im generating a lot more rage in the same amount of time, i do have the added im a kyrian so will do that over a necro but hes not pressing SS or TC on cd from what i can tell which is pretty bad @misty basin
probably somewhere around there, yeah
@jagged pier how did you get to 60% pls? seems like i am not looking at logs properly then
damage taken > hits column hover over it
well its 68%
but with reprisal on a very standard taunt swap boss thats a bad amount of blocked hits
ty
is prot or brm more reliant on healer?
both are reliable on healer imo
Yeah I do but sometimes ui gets in the way yanno
Mouseover macro with intervene and charge on it. Charge your target, unless you mouseover an ally then intervene instead. Very handy
Are there any resources that will help me learn which mobs in dungeons are the dangerous ones or need to be focus fired/interrupted? and what the generic routes most groups take?
In S1, I really didnt do a lot of M+s, so i dont have that ingrained in me super well currently
Oh it does? Fabulous, I will need to study that, thanks so much 🙂
Big tip is to download MythicDungeonTools addon and use that to make your own routes and get understanding of the dungeons. You can right click every mob to see what they do and what theyre affected by (like cc) etc
And also just experience. Just run a lot of dungeons and you’ll get it
I think I downloaded that a while back and never did anything with it, will need to learn its ins and outs
just timed nw16 soa15, i have no routes atm tbh
Im a little behind the curve on M+s there,
Both NW and SOA are pretty nice rn cus you dont really need to have any new routes this season
For NW i just go left side for first boss then run it like you would in s1
the only change i made atm is DOS, i do both anima boys inside, then go back to hakkar
if I run the Wall in in raids which Tier 7 Talent should I use?
ok, use AM and SW as often as possible...
pmuch
if youre tanking for longer periods of time, Bolster
but i recommend using Reprisal instead as it offers more block uptime for almost the same SW CD
albeit it being harder to play
for example my SOA is this atm :
You should try to get some packs to get %
I feel i could pick some mobs between red/green on top but ill see later
huge
dont know whats going on
theater of pain
first boss.. getting killed by it cos of extra mob that it spwans..
and randomly killing my group
dont know what the heck is going on
and ican't seemto taunt it
213 [Macabre Sheet Music] or 229 [Slimy Consumptive Organ], what do you reckon I should choose for M+ and Raiding? (to go with my 213 [Anima Field Emitter])
so i guess its not me
yo what powers y'all picking in keys
even for raiding?
cos i thought it might be me not taunting or something
yes even for raiding
cheers
no, it spawns and CCs one of your party members, you have to CC the mob and it vanishes again
just shockwave, stormbolt or intimidating shout it
and youre gucci
its a boss mechanic
its not easy as it use to before
made it so hard
bosses are running around like crazy
🤷♂️
i'm like hitting interupting everything i can .. but ppl keeps dying
especialy the heaelrs
🤷♂️ shit group
well.. ok.
I don't understand why they reintroduced the stealth boss again, the three already hit hard enough as it is...
i mean is it really that hard to charge and stun or charge and fear it?
the stealth dude does nothing
has there been any hotfixes yet?
for what?
tazavesh
🤷
refuse to log in till there is a patch that specifically addresses bugs in there
see you never
i mean just nuke the boss
if you wipe to mail room, you can't use the bombs any more
even if all 5 players log out
watched some ppl do it last night they just 1 tank 4 dps'd it
we tried that too, still couldn't interact with bombs
for my group, each player only interact with 1 bomb, no cross interatcion
it kinda worked
first time pulling that boss, twice, per fresh start, i was able to have the bomb on back, and i could do, something with it had a circle
after that, something to do with i died with it on back maybe? but i couldn't get another bomb or interact with it, or it would be interactable for 0.25 seconds
that is a group wipe mechanic, and you have to kill him to progress, so it bricks the entire dungeon
i dont understand... i'm doing haolls.. never have it been so bad like this
all i did on 2nd boss was ppl stack.. for the adds
then they blame me
like what the hell is going on
like i can' t play this dungeon anymore
they all blaming on warrrior tanks
You prob got lept on and wiped group because you're unaware
i saw someone else another tank some group playing the dungeon and he was able to pull 2 packs with ease probably asmons stream, and they stream rolled the dungeon like nothing
everyone stack on me to bring adds in .. i move away from bloods tahts it
i go in like 3 times and get face caved in
i dont know whats going on
the patch made warriors weak on mythic dungones
and all the rest
my leggo at the moment is still 230 something..maybe i should go and do more torghast to get to 240 something
because i have no idea.. why am i dying so hard on this.. i'm 227 and i'm still dying
You're pl;aying wrong. I'm 222 and I have all my 15s and some 16s done for the week. I also pugged them
i dont know the hell i'm doing
how am i not playing right against a glitch that causes a wipe
yah will do next time.. so sick of this
For the mail boss saved cds and hero for when bombs came out and burned boss
Didnt do bombs
not enough dps, didn't work
everytime someone gets leaped on they die.. but they didnt' stack on me..
then they blame me for not doing mechaincs.. who knows maybe i should leap over to them since they dont come to me
and i had a guy pulled a gargoyle b4.. cos he thought that i should tank it and then can venthyr it.. instead.. he pulled with me tauting the 2nd boss
that dungeon is a pain, every pack with the dogs the dogs do a bleed and the human besides them does a cast that increases damage 125% on dogs
yah i ran away with that.. and healer tries to chase after me then
only way i know of to remove bleeds is with kyrian potion, probably an alch potion too
i know how to do deal with running away..
i use kyrian too
but somehow.. u use it too much .. u wont have enough for the other fights
do you just run bleed immunity default if you run halls?
is that a talent
