hello everyone. Been tanking since expansions and ages past. ditched prot in favour of bdk around end of wrath,had a prot phase in mists but that was it. bdk ever since. i want to get back into prot properly now as an alt. I heard/read ignore pain is now only a supplement and we now only have shield wall as a full mitigation/DR ability, rest is just physical mitigation only. how is the playstyle then? esp. in raid and m+?

jagged pier
#

u can only block the lance on the eye

#

nothing else

#

so u spam IP

bright flax
#

Usually just use IP to dump excess rage I know I can't dump just on revenge or when I feel like I have no defensives left at all. The later also comes with a feeling of either I messed up or this pull/boss is just taking longer than it should

jagged pier
#

and u rotate cds on deathlink tbh on the eye

#

in m+ its different and u kind of always want a cd on cooldown

dark lark
jagged pier
#

ill find out tonight

#

but i presume so

#

u can SR as well

dark lark
#

I felt like I was getting destroyed by it last week

ionic fern
dark lark
#

Only to find out post raid that you can't block piercing lens

jagged pier
#

i mean we've known that for a while its in the sheet

dark lark
#

Yeah I missed that

#

So deathlink is what gets the CDs?

jagged pier
#

i believe so

#

i mean if your playing AM and wall which u should u can probs use SW in the intermission

dark lark
#

In that case, if I'm running AM/TW, would it be something like demo shout first death link, then wall the next death link, then demo shout the third death link?

tardy lily
jagged pier
#

they are all part of our rotation

#

u dont hold onto SW unless your gunna take a big hit within like the next min

jagged pier
dark lark
#

Alright heh. I think I found sense's vod so I'll check that out

ionic fern
tardy lily
#

Thank you very much! Yeah, covenants would be my next question. I really like Necrolords, but think they are heavily dependant on your group and correct usage of the banner, otherwise it's wasted, right? it's not so uch a fire and forget ability as spear and aftershock are

jagged pier
#

yes

somber stump
#

I'd say kyrian if you're raiding/m+. NF if your focus is m+ and maybe fury offspec. Necro if you got a solid pre made grp

tardy lily
#

is there some sort of spreadsheet or anything that shows the dps gain/loss per covenant ability? i know this is only theoretical and the margins are bigger depending on useage. i am just interested in how bad a misused banner could be compared to a spear/aftershock

somber stump
#

Kyrian is also really good for mythic+..the tether from spear can be a lifesaver when kiting and the phial clears necrotic stacks

#

A misused banner is a wasted CD pretty much, as kyrian/nf you'll even pump as prot in keys and the rage generation is lovely

#

iirc, feel free to correct me, but even the banner is only good to use on certain classes to outweigh the dps from spear/AA

#

I pulled 6.1k in a mists key as prot...thats basicly another dps

#

As kyrian*

tardy lily
#

does the spear tether work list a druid's taifun (or watever its called)?

somber stump
#

Yeah

#

But only if it has hit the targets

#

If a target you didnt hit walks through, it does nothing to it

tardy lily
#

and aftershock does a conical knockdown, right? that's plenty cc togehter with stormbolt and shockwave

somber stump
#

I'd say if you want to rely on yourself as much as you can, kyrian is better. If you have a decent pug grp or guildies, NF deals alittle more dps, the knockdown part on it can be useful

tardy lily
#

so the mastery gain from banner really is worthless in terms of defensiveness compared to the cc/utility/dps you get from the other two?

somber stump
#

If you are using reprisal, which you should in keys. You dont use stormbolt, but double time to have more uptime on shieldblock

ionic fern
somber stump
#

^

ionic fern
#

AA/Spear are both just excellent in M+ compared to Banner.
AA provides a ton of rage/damage and the knockdown is honestly a huge QoL , especially in caster packs which tend to be the most dangerous. Soulshape is a solid kiting tool and also helps with using Reprisal as you can Soulshape out and Reprisal in if there should be a need.

Spear is also a ton of rage/damage (especially once we unlock Mikas last trait that allows us to spear every ~40-50s). The tether is solid utility but you generally use Spear on CD for the damage/rage part rather than planning to use it for the Tether. Phial of Serenity can be a life saver against bleeds/dots/necrotic.

tardy lily
#

i guess then it's question of wether i go kyrian or nf

ionic fern
#

They just provide you a lot more personal flexibility/control over your own survivability.

tardy lily
#

thank you kindly for the explanations everyone!

somber stump
#

GL and welcome to the club

tardy lily
#

i just felt that ever since prot lost their self-sustein (in terms of heal) back in the day, prot felt very squishy/cd uptime dependant, hence why my first thought was to go with necro due to added defensiveness from banner mastery gain and fleshcraft

ionic fern
#

Naaa, we're in a really good spot right now. 🙂

#

Only downside is our ST damage.

somber stump
#

I feel like i am still top tank atm 😂

#

But thats just how it feels

tardy lily
# ionic fern Only downside is our ST damage.

yeah, as a BDK main i can understand this fully, i am considering to let my offtank (guardian druid) to jut do all the main tank stuff xD he outdps and outaggros me all the time but he wants to flex his catweaving skills

ionic fern
#

He shouldn't outaggro you. 🤔

#

If you're both playing your classes to an equally solid level.

jagged pier
#

^^

tardy lily
#

incarn burst dps is just more than i can pump with my standard rotation

jagged pier
#

same for any tank combo

tardy lily
#

maybe i am doing sth wrong, but BDK anyway needs more ramp up time than guardian druid

ionic fern
#

Can't comment on BDK but something does sound weird. 🙂

tardy lily
#

no worries, i am working on that seperately ^^ thanks still for all the input! now i just need to figure out if i want to have yet another kyrian or yet another night fae character since necro is out of the question now for my warrior

ionic fern

Hello guys, someone have time to check some log i want to understand why my parsing is so low i cannot figure how to raise it.

silk edge
#

you guys use shadowcore oil or the sharpening stone ?

jagged pier
#

oil for ST stone for aoe

#

but theres like a 4 dps difference

silk edge
#

ok i get it! thx

minor wyvern
#

raid and m+ more

jagged pier
#

u arent pressing revenge

#

u arent using all dps conduits or the dps soulbind

#

your casts are low

minor wyvern
jagged pier
#

well if u want to dps in raid

#

u run PV ashen and AAF

#

if u want to dps in m+

#

u run PV SoF AAF

#

but conduits and soulbinds are a small increase

#

u literally are pressing revenge

#

your also running rav which is worse in raid

#

ITF is better

minor wyvern
#

less ignore pain more revenge got it.

jagged pier
#

on the nine u cast revenge 26 times in 6 mins

#

on my kill im looking at i cast it 76 times in 4 mins

#

i press IP 4 times u pressed it 47 times

#

but honestly

#

dps is the least of your worries

#

u are not managing shield block at all

minor wyvern
#

the parsing is just dps?

jagged pier
#

u need to get eh basics in terms of defensive play down first

#

before u can start to think about dpsing

humble ferry
#

anyone here with ThreatPlates can help me with a setting? 😄

jagged pier
tardy lily
#

and this, yes

humble ferry
#

ah sorry @jagged pier

minor wyvern
#

so the persing in the log is not only dps right?

jagged pier
#

it is only dps

tardy lily
#

parses are only able to measure dps, nothing else

jagged pier
#

but we can see other things in your logs like your very low blocked hits

minor wyvern
#

ho wow that painfull im so bad.

jagged pier
#

as i said work on the basics of playing before u care about dps at all ever

#

for instance

#

thats my blocked hits, where im not even tracking shield block

minor wyvern
#

i don't really care about dps i was in the idea that the parsing see mitigation stuff also.

#

it was my bad.

jagged pier
#

logs show mitigation

#

but its not involved in parsing

peak hatch
#

Hey, as Night fae, if I'm using Niya for arms in raid, is Korayn the go to for prot m+?

minor wyvern
#

@jagged pier thx for the help will try to fix this. also how much mit should i aim?

jagged pier
#

dont look at that its useless

#

look at blocked hits

#

if your wasting rage

#

and your casts to make sure they are up to snuff

karmic plinth
jagged pier
#

like for instance u could have had a few more casts of SW on the nine log i was looking at as its a 6 min fight

#

and SW has a 1:30 min cd which the leggo and talents your running

#

and theres no big hit on that fight u can just use it as general mitigation

minor wyvern
#

yeah i keep sw for emergency but it might be a bad way to look at it.

jagged pier
#

you should have emergencies

#

we are preemptive 100%, u need to plan so there arent any

visual drift
#

which boss drop the new gems for domination socket?

jagged pier
#

any

#

chance on first kill of each boss per week to get one

#

and the world boss drops a blood one

visual drift
#

but it isn't shown within the adventure guide?

jagged pier
#

nope

#

because its random which out of the 8 get in the raid

#

world boss is alwasy the same one

lilac sorrel
#

hello can i know for mythic + phial of putrefaction( 236ilv) or old warrior's soul (233ilv) better

jagged pier
#

both are great

#

run both

#

phial is more dps and soul is more defensive

#

if u want to choose between the 2

visual drift
#

hm, but how can i find them if i got one?

lilac sorrel
#

my first one is blood-spattered scale ilv236

jagged pier
jagged pier
lilac sorrel
#

you mean old warrior and phial combo is better than blood spattered?

jagged pier
#

in my opinion yes

lilac sorrel
#

max dps i guess?

jagged pier
#

well that and i never really used scale last season

#

so i dont see a point in it now

lilac sorrel
#

ok will give a try in low dungeon

#

see how it feel

#

because this week necrotic a bit worry if not much denfensive

jagged pier
#

i mean if your relying on blood scale your doing somthing wrong u should never be relying on a trinket its just a nice bonus

visual drift
#

okay, it seems i havn't got the gem from world boss yet-.-

lilac sorrel
#

wow

#

make sense too

#

will try that see how it go

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/N2pQ1qLDRWAGV348/#fight=32
I'm trying to get better at reading logs and using M tarragrue as an example. My cotank died and I'm trying to figure out if I didn't taunt, he didn't have meta up, or if he got hit during an enrage. Can anyone point me the right direction? All I know is that he got meleed.

minor wyvern
#

@river escarp i think he was not on the debuff when he die.

jagged pier
#

i mean the boss had a phyiscal damage increase because the circles werent soaked

#

and the dh had no defesives up i think spikes would have run out by then

river escarp
#

How did you know what to look for? I just want to get a primer on what to click because I feel like that's a big block for me in learning to read logs.

jagged pier
#

i watched the replay around his death

#

and looked at the buffs on the boss

#

and opened his death to see when he last used somthing

minor wyvern
#

for me i looked at the debuff and filter on him.

#

the debuff is crushed armor.

jagged pier
#

yer the dh didnt have it

#

but he didnt have spikes up

#

unless they last longer than 8 secs i have no clue

minor wyvern
#

he got melee hit for 84k without the crush so something was not right.

jagged pier
#

yes

#

looking at his buffs when he died

jagged pier
#

yer

#

so he used spikes 8 seconds before he died

#

so he wouldnt have spikes running

#

and the phyicals damage buff was out on the buff because the circle wasnt soaked

#

the dh is dead

ionic fern
#

You should be able to see it on the right side also as in which buffs he had active (unless you're on phone).

jagged pier
#

how long is fel dev cd?

ionic fern
#

1m baseline iirc

jagged pier
#

cause he hadnt used it for 111 secs

gaunt dawn
#

48s

river escarp
#

Ty guys. I have some clue what to look for, like if meta was up or if boss buffs were up, but it's still not intuitive with the way logs are designed

ionic fern
#

Conduits?

mellow bridge
#

fel defender conduit reduces the cd

gaunt dawn
#

^

fossil valley
#

does BSC give reprisals free Revenge the +50% or just 20%

jagged pier
#

50%

river escarp
#

One extra thing on tarragrue, does the boss still gain a dmg increase while the circle are being absorbed or only when they are not soaked?

jagged pier
#

pretty sure its there till the circle is gone

#

so u want to soak asap

minor wyvern
river escarp
#

So you pretty much gotta use a cd when there's a black circle out then

jagged pier
#

if your a dh yes

river escarp
#

Ya. Ty

jagged pier
#

shield block does alot of work for us

minor wyvern
#

yes dh need CD up all time

#

you can go there to see the fight replay

#

filter on him and you see is spell

river escarp
#

Ty! I'll try it

minor wyvern
#

np

#

i suck as a warrior but i was a not bad dh last season 🙂

wide pilot
#

Is it abnormal to have a lower SB uptime if treaty’s are pretty much being used every pull or should I still be using SB when treats are tanking for the extra SS dmg

amber herald
#

no definitely not

plush tendon
#

Dont SB when trees are up; but also, getting tress on pull is kind of troll

amber herald
#

use trees to get sb charges back

lofty widget
#

your effective uptime should be the same with or without treants

plush tendon
#

even higher tbh

#

should you guys be in coms or slightly organized

#

Trees should be treated as a tank CD and not a DPS CD, which means YOU call for it and the druid just doesnt hold or at least asks if youll need it soon

#

Had two sets of a trees last night in a SD on my BDK; it was the most glorious thing I have ever had 🙂

#

still hate druids though

#

but trees aight

wide pilot
#

Where in logs do you see effective? Seems details only shows me actual.

solemn aspen
#

hit blocked % is my guess

#

and not sb uptime

plush tendon
#

Go to warcraftlogs; pick the dungeon you did, click your character. Go to damage taken. Youll see melee damge taken (its gonna be the biggest bar) hover over hits and that will give you your effective block uptime

So in my quest to determine which covenant I'm swapping to.. I have a question for you Kyrians... does it ever get tiring or annoying to play the mini-games for some of the soulbind stuff?

amber herald
#

minigames?

hollow sun
#

? I have been kyrian but I don't remember any minigame

jagged pier
#

do u mean the arena?

#

cause u dont do that at all

#

i havent stepped in it once

thorn remnant
#

Mmm in the Pelagos tree, the Combat Meditation says you gotta run around and pick up the memories to extend your increase by 3sec... and I guess we're not there yet, but the final ability in Pelagos tree is to face the direction of your doubt to get a stat increase.

jagged pier
#

i mean the spawn really close and u dont need to run over them just near

#

and next week u would run mik anyway

thorn remnant
jagged pier
#

u get that 57

#

but mik sims hgiher

#

now

thorn remnant
#

I'm just trying to be diligent in understanding of Kyrian vs Night Fae before I commit to the swap from Necro. 😄

jagged pier
#

so im just waiting for that other endurance slot to unlock which is next week

plush tendon
#

Team NF

#

Reasons to be NF: 1) AA slaps 2) You get to have a customizable soulshape 3) More Kyrians then ever before! Someone has to bring NF buff 4) Better for Arms and Fury M+

jagged pier
#

i mean spear about to do the same if not more damage than NF tho

#

🤷

plush tendon
#

Spear does less then AA per cast, but you get more spears

jagged pier
#

so u get more casts so it will prbs give more rage as well

plush tendon
#

But also, ever tank a M+ and wished you could just lock a pack down for 12 seconds. Well look no further then AA!

#

Spear generates a flat 25 rage, AA generates between 16-80 rage based upon targets hit

thorn remnant
jagged pier
#

right but u get far far more casts of spear

plush tendon
#

Either is good; im sticking with the NF cause we have a lack of NF now with the people going Kyrian for Arcane and Hunter

#

and AA>Spear imo

#

but I wont lie, if owl bro is just broken with Spear CD, itll be hard not to swap back to Kyrian

#

But you cant go wrong either way

#

and reason 6; NF currently the better preforming raid Cov for Prot War when looking at personal DPS performance (subject to change with new soulbind traits being unlocked in the next couple of weeks)

#

But try both, pick the one that works for you

#

Either is better then Necro

#

😛

thorn remnant
#

I simmed a lot of the soulbinds with my current stuff, trying to predict a b it of the future and NF comes in slightly ahead for me.

#

Knockback sounds frustrating. lol

amber herald
#

mages aren't human so it's all good

#

it's not too bad, sometimes it'll knock out of aoe but it's not a huge knock

plush tendon
#

they have Ice block

#

they fine

#

just turn back time stupid

#

The only downside I'm having with NF is that I want to match my Cov color (dark blue) but I cant find any really good dark blue mogs that work

#

with Kyrian you can at least go light blue or white

#

so thats a downer

thorn remnant
#

lol the hardest part for me is I like the Necrolord theme, but the class abilities are disappointing me since I can't coordinate as well as needed.

plush tendon
#

<- same

empty spindle
#

I think NF is better in m+ anyway

plush tendon
#

Necro is my favorite

#

Too bad Banner is cancer

amber herald
#

NF is better personal power right now and kyrian is better for group power because of the dungeon buffs

#

they're really not far apart though

plush tendon
amber herald
#

nah but I have a group of 8 or so people I normally group with

#

I don't pug a lot

plush tendon
#

Our fire mage-> Arcane Kyrian, our MM hunter-> Kyrian, 1 of our Hpals Kyrain, Druids going Venthyr

amber herald
#

I don't get to play with a lot of meta classes

#

it's a choice between holy priest or resto druid when it comes to healers 😢

plush tendon
#

Yea, I play with those also

#

theres like a group of 12 of us and we just mix and match groups XD

#

but for consistent push is literally.... just the gamers who dont have a social life XD

#

Disc Priest is now Kyrian, Our holy priest is still NF, or VDH is NF, and our Resto/balance druid 2 is NF

#

its really the Necrolord Cov that got shafted... hoping to convince our WW to give it a go 😛

#

I just think the argument that Kyrian>NF for dungeon buffs no longer applies as it did in 9.0

thorn remnant
#

In all honesty, given how close they seem, the difference between Kyrian and NF seems to boil down to personal choice given needs, environment, and preference of play style.

plush tendon
#

Pretty much

I'm still stuck on the kyrian vs NF thing I've played both and I honestly prefer NF but it's hard to give up the utility of kyrian

#

Decisions decisions

plush tendon
#

Well, you know where I stand

dusky canopy
#

Plus NF feels better when I off spec fury as well

#

I'm heavily leaning towards switching back to NF again

#

I guess the only down fall of NF is I'll have to kite like the rest of the tanks again if I switch lmao

plush tendon
#

LOL Kiting

#

good one

#

Well, I guess if you need to kite, at least you can soulshape

amber herald
#

you don't ever save spear for kiting it's for pewpew

#

sometimes you might but... (not really)

Coordination is key for dungeons where its needed, like hoa. Interrupts and cc needs to be on point. Talk beforehand about if youre gonna bl or not. Some dungeons are easy to pull big, like NW, SoA or mists and all you really need is a defensive or so

As with anything in m+ just get the experience and see what works.

jagged pier
#

move away

sweet summit
#

raid in one corner

jagged pier
#

the raid should be stacked

craggy pilot
#

ah ok

sweet summit
#

arrow in the opposite corner

craggy pilot
#

make sense

#

and can the arrow people stand on top of each other?

#

if theres 2 people with arrows?

jagged pier
#

no

sweet summit
#

they can but they will probably die

jagged pier
#

u have to move and drop it in turn

craggy pilot
#

ah the wailing arrows dont go off at first?

sweet summit
#

there's always 3 arrows

#

but you have time to move

craggy pilot
#

at the same time i mean

distant crystal
#

3 go out and they expire in sequence

sweet summit
#

^

distant crystal
#

you send 1 at a time to the other platform to pop

#

then they come back and the next goes same time

craggy pilot
#

"to the other platform" i get that but at platform 4

#

when theres no other

distant crystal
#

other corner

#

raid stacks opposite

#

prob use some healer cds and such

craggy pilot
#

ah ok

mighty valley
#

if healers are struggling/don't have CDs, have the courage to order a DPS to jump to their death

#

execute your raid for wailing arrow crimes

When doing open world stuff, do y’all stay in prot spec or swap to arms/fury?

amber herald
#

prot

#

but I don't think it matters too much

near sundial
#

anyone have a way to track the aegis trinkets dmg reduction in logs?

lament zealot
#

I have 2 questions, one not so much to do with prot warrior. Do I need to have my loot spec picked before the mythic + key starts or can I change to what I want at the chest.

Second question is if I am a venthyr as prot and use bolster talent. Does the condemn increase just last stand time or also my shield block from bolster?

mighty valley
#

I think you can switch loot spec right before chest, but like, might as well make it part of your pre-key routine because you’ll probably forget later

distant crystal
#

@near sundial I think it shows up as healing?

mighty valley
#

And the last stand extension doesn’t extend bolster SB no

#

Basically the venthyr legendary doesn’t do anything exciting as prot

jagged pier
#

have to switch it before the last boss

#

and no it doesnt

distant crystal
#

yeah you gotta swap before chest spawns

#

so many people seem to think you can just swap before looting chest

lament zealot
#

Gotcha thx guys

#

Is there is a BIS gear list somewhere?

#

nvm

#

No we confirmed it with a priest in guild the other day

#

You have to change your loot spec before key starts.

#

She was on shadow loot spec; key started...before popping chest she asked if caster in group wanted INT trinket, he said no (this was plaguefall btw) so she changed to holy, opened box..got the dps trinket that is ONLY on shadow loot spec; it's not on her holy table.

jagged pier
#

yer when did she change spec

#

after the last boss?

fringe marten
#

You have to do it before chest 'pops' so either before key, while doing key, or during last boss

#

Yeah the chest was up so it had already checked her spec.

#

I forget half the time so now it's just a 'pre key' routine, CBF to be trying to swap during the last pull or boss.

distant crystal
#

umm

#

that's not accurate

#

i've definitely switched loot spec during last boss and got stuff specific to that loot spec

jagged pier
#

^^

fringe marten
#

Then it's before chest spawn; but either way..I'm locking it in before key start so I never have to think about it again.

distant crystal
#

ya when the key is completed and chest spawns

#

lootspec is set in stone

fringe marten
#

Which just means opening the box is irrelevant; when the key 'completes' game looks at your class/spec and sets the items for when you 'interact' with the object that spawns @the chest location.

#

My fav are the absolute cheesedicks who wait for everyone to loot, know they got something..then drop group and hearth.

#

and now that there's nothing from dungeons I want that much any more...I still hate those people.

#

Because what it means is "I'm an enchanter and want to break down that item into a shard..and don't care if it's an upgrade for anyone else"

amber herald
#

100g is 100g

distant crystal
#

If your loot gets mailed to you it becomes untradable right

#

I vaguely remember that happening in a WCM and I couldn't give branch to the mage

#

they were big sad

fringe marten
#

btw what's the calculation for extra loot? same as bfa? every key above 15 is 20% chance for extra item?

distant crystal
#

ye

fringe marten
#

figured..when we started doing 17/18 and were getting 3 actual items and not just conduits

#

HOW TF my guildmates were still getting conduits from keys...bruh..

distant crystal
#

they prob have a stack of em in their bags

if you don't learn it it keeps dropping

Harrow our conduits aren't fantastic but what I was honestly grinding for, to get 226 in S1 was Piercing verdict..and it ended up being 1 of the last 3 to upgrade to 226...then I just finished 'em out. I would constantly upgrade the arms/fury ones lol.

#

Is that the dungeon loot table for prot nom? 100 items?

#

thought it would be more than that.

strong forum
#

on average

#

we have 8 dungeons

#

and like 10-12 items per dungeon or w/e

fringe marten
#

Hobbitfeet also you can hit up tazavesh; HM taz is really not hard, you don't need MLG players to clear it on hard, just people that are willing to learn mechanics and aren't bad at their dps rotations.

fringe marten
#

That being said..the beginning of that dungeon makes it appear harder than it is; the 'broker' trash mobs are actually angry AF and if you get dotted up with their rotating beam, or get disoriented etc...it can go sideways quick.

#

..and it's ALL WORTH IT when you hit dem SWEET GUITAR SLIDES~ You'll be Marty McFly'in johnny B' Goodin'.

#

I mean..the game just makes a little harp 'ding' sound..but in my head; I'm a rockstar.

#

If you do HM tazavesh; one tip..don't do what I did this week. The dais that ports you up to the boss with the playstation symbols, and the 'first technique' ..don't pull all the spiders+the broker mobs with them all together and say "we got this..just use coolies and pop off.." and then get bounced around and decimated =\

well yeah theres alot more to pwar than just press thrash and spam IF

true bison
#

Yea, which is why I’m trying it out due to wanting a little more complexity. But I feel like my rage generation is poor and that I’m sitting around 50% HP constantly. Is gear and not having a prot legendary the main reasons?

strong forum
#

yes

#

we absolutely rely on ilvl and reprisal to be properly tanky

#

unless youre already experienced

#

biggest issue of alot of people that are rage starved is them not actually pressing enough buttons

#

which may sound stupid

#

but is a reality

true bison
#

Gotcha

strong forum
#

they think theyre pressing buttons, but arent actually properly doing so

true bison
#

Yea so my rotation is charge, shield block, SS, spend rage on IP if in need of def and on Revenge if I’m ok. Popping demo shout and avatar on CD

strong forum
#

opener is basically

ravager->charge->SB+TC+Avatar->Revenge->SS/spear->revenge

#

in m+ atleast

#

when youre finally running reprisal you should seek to intervene early to get the CD rolling

#

keep up SB and use IP as defensive rage dump to avoid capping rage or when taking heavy damage

modern brook
#

Being worried about openers is such a dps brain thing

#

Just press your buttons

strong forum
#

yes

true bison
#

Ok, I guess reprisal is the big thing cause I can’t keep SB up a bunch and that’s why I feel so squishy, that and maybe that I have a 229 weapon and a 168 shield

oh god

that shield

I have been timing 10s and 11s

modern brook

Yeah that sounds right

yeah any other piece of gear, skill >
but your shield can often literally mean living and splatting with good play

modern brook

With a good babysitter you can probably push 15s

Lol some high dps and heals I could maybe

ah but the dmg blocked % goes up by like 3%

Mastery increases block percentage

But who cares, you have 100% block rate most of the time

you can basically just watch Limit Maximum thoughts on the raid tier

that should explain it all

the damage we do right now is insane and the rotation is fluid

the raid itself is like other said a bit lacking

in terms of lore

well if the raid is boring.

craggy pilot

i resubbed for 1 month, only to get KSM, but ended up doing the raid anyway

for me it is ok, as i mainly subbed for M+, and the Raid is just a side offer

but if you wanna sub for mainly raid, im not sure tbh

the raid is decent, its the lore that is disappointing to me

sylvannas fight was the let down for me

going to say that you're still not going to hold aggro with a garbage weapon vs appropriately geared DPS

How good's decanter of endless howling? Seems alright

nice offensive trinket with a little bit of defensive benefit

I have a scale, was thinking of maybe swapping my 220 phial for it

radiant anvil
#

if you are looking for raw dps i would sim it

lavish oracle
#

the damage is very close, phial is very slightly ahead on ST

radiant anvil
#

and with hectic cleave?

lavish oracle
#

but I figure a potential heal's not a bad trade off

#

Decanter is like 1% 3+ targets

nocturne sage
#

are yall using wall or reprisal in raid?

radiant anvil
#

eh as a tank you shouldnt be dipping below the 50%

Tank is the only role that should be dipping below 50%, haha

radiant anvil
#

ehhhh

lavish oracle
#

consistently, anyways

radiant anvil
#

what type of content are you doing?

lavish oracle
#

M+, mostly

radiant anvil
#

ok so yeah you would be a bit more hitting the 50% but

#

BUT

#

healer is also going to focus you more

#

its really a choice at that point based on your healer

#

i personally focus more dps with the phial

lavish oracle

I'll give the decanter a trial run

#

the extra parry is nice this week anyways, in keys

whats the ilvl of your decanter?

thx. i have the same but use double time and anger management.

#

appreciate you sharing your build.

pastel trellis
#

anger management is fine, but i kinda prefer bolster, its such an good talent with reprisal. when you go with bolster, you have to use last stand much more frequently and not just as an "oh sht" button

#

especially with unnerving focus conduit

uneven mason
#

if you're using reprisal I'd highly suggest AM over bolster because you tend to just not need that extra 15s of SB every min, and LS as a CD itself is pretty "meh"

#

yeah UF combined can make it nice.

#

choices >< toomany for my brain this expac

radiant anvil
#

I like using bolster because it gives way more up time on SD + it makes last stand a better oh shit who butt pulled button

pastel trellis
#

trust me, you have to go away from that mindset when u take bolster. use it much more frequently. its sooo good. and if youre renown 51, take as the last defensive conduit unnerving focus.

if that's the tank you want to play then it'll be more than enough unless you're going for world first keys

also pretty sure all tanks are so close now that any clown that wants to deny you based on class is a clown you're better off ignoring

unless you're pushing top keys

in which case you wouldn't be asking

quiet crane
#

Honestly your tank is based off nowadays your dps

#

Running a caster comp? DH running a melee comp? Warr, and brm, running a bunch of uncapped? Druid with incarn pulls

#

Every tank is so close to each other it’s a matter of what you can play better and more comfortable with, if you can do all of em play the one that’ll fit your team better

Hey, does it go for tank the same way as for DPS. Setbonus is better then any Ilvl - e.g. 226 gloves with Dom socket are better then 252 m+ great vault ?

First boss of ToP, how do you clear necrotic stacks? The melee guy is on me all the time and even if i leap away he chases me fast.

Nuke Dessia

Then you kinda pray tbh

steep condor

Dessia is the melee boss?

blazing condor

You cant let dessias enrage go undispelled

#

And have dps kite

#

Yes its the melee one

#

But its a wonky fight

steep condor
#

ok so basically as tank i just face tank him and hope for the best?

(im a very very new tank in case you hadn't already guessed)

Kyiran pot, bop, let him enrage and run after ppl

#

Theres lots of ways

If you kite while he casts slam or whatever it’s called, you gonna sacrifice a dps. And he runs faster than you :D

Nuke and pray is the way in pugs since often he gets instant soothed, rule of tbumb if you want something dispelled it wont happen if you dont want it dispelled it’ll happen, same if you want something kicked go ahead and press reflect itll get kicked every time

This was (for me as a bad player) probably the easiest season to get ksm (or equivalent) so far. Anyone else that feels the same? A lot easier to do keys now

Pride being gone, dungeons being nerfed

Idk if its the dungeons or new rio score but m+ is just boring asf for me now

I feel like i have no reason to do anything over 15s

Not that there really was a reason last season either

Idk man

Looking for pug routes - dratnos the ones to get? i got some from 'plka puffs' too but seems a few mistakes in them (of course im probably just reading them wrong).

What do you mean 0 rewards over 15

#

This is the first patch ever where there ARE rewards over 15

craggy pilot
#

do you get KSM at 2000 rating? or still need to do all on 15?

strong forum
#

2000 rating

#

which is basically where you are at once you did all 15s

craggy pilot
#

ye ok

#

but i guess i could do some 16 and some 14?

#

and still get KSM

strong forum
#

yes

limpid anchor
#

So … there’s no reason to go above 15

craggy pilot
#

some dungeons seem impossible to get in as Warr Tank

chrome falcon
#

Yeah I got KSM while missing a tyrannical NW because I had some 17s

limpid anchor
#

As I said :D

chrome falcon
#

??? You get the dungeon portals and FoS for doing +20

limpid anchor
#

For what. If Doug want them sure. Do they help you? Not really

chrome falcon
#

If bragging rights and convenient portals aren’t enough reward for you then idk

limpid anchor
#

I meant progress wise

#

Those shitty new dailies are better than playing above +15

craggy pilot
#

how much score does a +15 over time give?

chrome falcon
#

About as much as a 14

strong forum
#

depends on how much you overtime

craggy pilot
#

hm ok

chrome falcon
#

Maybe a 13 if you REALLY botched it

craggy pilot
#

is there a way to see what rating one dung gave?

strong forum
#

if you miss it by like 2 seconds score is the same

#

if you miss the timer by 2 minutes its bascially a +7

craggy pilot
#

PF +15 41 minutes, i guess thats like 4 minutes over?

the only people that care about achievements are those that barely get them or barely miss them

imo

chrome falcon

Uh…. Sure? I mean that seems kinda self evident, people who struggle to get something are the ones who care most about them

strong forum
#

exactly

chrome falcon
#

Achievements serve basically no purpose which is a shame, kinda wish they’d made them an actual system rather than just… nothing

#

Still it’s just nice that there’s an in-game recognition of doing everything on +20, kinda feels like something that should have been in for years

strong forum
#

there should be more but yes its a start

chrome falcon
#

Yeah it’s a bit of a crime that the systems around m+ are still so pitifully barebones after like 5 years of it being way more popular than pvp

#

Anyone else think it’s kinda fucked up that ignore pain doesn’t work on necrotic but the Druid legendary does? Thanks for coming to my TED talk

limpid anchor
#

Wish they would bring back the reward system from the og m+ dungeon runs

#

Or do you get any transmog from fos?

strong forum
#

no

chrome falcon
#

Considering how low the effort was on the “new” mount, I think whole transmogs from m+ are very unlikely

#

But would be cool

drifting glade
#

bro we barely got transmogs from the dungeons lmao

chrome falcon
#

Right?

#

Just blizzard continuing their habit of having something that worked incredibly well and is universally liked (transmogs from challenge modes) and then just not doing it anymore for no reason

#

A covenant specific transmog from doing +20s would be a cool feature for a future patch tho

9.1 gear seems to lean really heavily towards Haste, I think probably close to 35% by the time i get some decent end-game gearing, is that overkill and inefficient stats because of DR? I could maybe try to replace a Haste/Mastery ring with something like Vers/Mastery?

tardy osprey
#

I wouldn't worry about DR until you hit 39% from gear

you can pick several vaults in a row

It's crazy to me that 226 Dom socket pieces are better than 252 vault gear...

Thanks blizzard

@ebon geyser

pick an item, close vault, open vault again, pick new item

dusky canopy

I imagine the 226dom>252vault only applies if you gain the set bonus by equipping it correct?

mellow bridge
#

if youre putting a dmg shard in, you can sim it

for defensive value, dunno

does anyone know if the functionality exists in Details to show per spell information like this screenshot from skada? Details shows total damage blocked, but I want to know WHAT I blocked, and how much of a particular spell (like melees here) I blocked.

I'm progressing mythic eye and having some trouble surviving in the intermission. Is it true that you can't block Piercing Lens from the boss + small eyes?

obtuse monolith
#

There's a block list pinned somewhere. Can't block it from boss but can from adds. I think the one from the adds is the only blockable ability on the whole fight

fallow cape

found the block guide thanks
