true true

radiant anvil
#

I've seen some tanks not take a lot of damage because they don't taunt off like they should

strong forum
#

in raid its absolutely a good trinket

#

in m+

#

eeeeh idk

#

if id take that risk

radiant anvil
#

I run decanter and scale I love it

strong forum
#

but given that it doesnt have a deadzone i guess its good

#

i want sack + matrix or aegis + matrix tbh

austere wedge
#

Hello, would you pick the scale considering i have it already on 246 or the other trinket? For the other slot i have atm Weave of wraped fates 226

strong forum
#

that sounds like big dick

#

pick the scale yes

radiant anvil
#

Scale

#

Always scale

austere wedge
#

even tho i already have it on 246?

radiant anvil
#

Scale is S tier for us

strong forum
#

mmmh

radiant anvil
#

Good damage and shield

austere wedge
#

that i know but i already farmed it

lavish oracle
#

Do you have a cloak?

strong forum
#

then idk

radiant anvil
#

Even bigger with more mobs

austere wedge
#

i do have a 252 cloak yes

strong forum
#

but ilvl is HUGE on scale

#

like even the 6ilvl

#

are like 10% bigger shield

austere wedge
#

it is 4.5k shield or smth

#

upgrade

lavish oracle
#

Oh, yeah, the other trinkets bad

strong forum
#

viscera is not terrible and not great

#

just pick the scale and be done with it tbh

austere wedge
#

i also have bracers 246 with dom socket

#

but now i have 239 on

#

very confused tbf

strong forum
#

vault sucks this patch

#

if you raid

austere wedge
#

yes it gets very confusing, ty for tips anyway

strong forum
#

the curse of choice is real

#

but like i said, the 6ilvl are literally 10% upgrade on scale

radiant anvil
#

You might have a higher chance of getting the dom socket from raid

#

Than seeing a scale at 252

cinder fern
#

I rolled prot on my vault nearly the entire length of 9.0, never saw a scale in my box.

radiant anvil
#

I just got a scale this season as well

#

I had to get a dps to get it in a box and hand it to me lol

cinder fern
#

ended up just running phial/decanter :V

blazing condor
#

real men farmed the scale and took 30 tries to get it

Ended up grinding low keys so i could burn valor on it since tgey were faster

idk what i was on at the time

#

i ran in 20 times in 5 days on a tyran week just cus i was pissed about not having it

#

now i hate DOS

indigo hatch
#

I'm having a hard time deciding between the to M+ items from the vault. I currently have a 226 helmet with dom socket (but no set bonus yet, because I only got to dom sockets) and a 229 cloak. Both items will only be temporary, but I am not sure which will give me more right now

plush tendon
#

that might be a sim yourself kind of answer; either choice is going to be temporary

vocal nimbus
#

Yo guys, what anima powers are u picking in m+

mighty valley

#

i like to use a picker wheel and see what RNG gives me

light thicket
#

blade of the lifetaker is awesome

#

wish we had it in m+

hollow sun
#

what should i take? I have a 220 scale and a 226 phial now

#

i don't really wanna take the bracers but the other choices are very meh

jagged pier
#

ring its high haste

#

and bracers are dom socket

hollow sun
#

you mean, the ring slot can give high haste right? cause that ring doesn't. And the thinket is kinda meh

jagged pier
#

that ring is crit haste no?

hollow sun
#

yeah but the haste is not much. I was more oriented towards the strenght increase, but perhaps ring is better

tribal dust
#

heya! i've gone up to quite a lot of haste and i am also playing old warriors soul so i was wondering if i might be hitting a cap in raid whilst playing into the fray. Has anyone crunched the numbers or is it still just haste > every other sec stat?

strong forum
#

ilvl > haste

#

ITF doesnt care about haste cap

tribal dust
#

it's not a question of ilvl really, i am just wondering if it'd make more sense to me to swap to a vers heavy ring of same ilvl for example

strong forum
#

not unless you hit 39% haste before ITF

#

or just sim it

#

:^)

tribal dust
#

aight thanks ^^

main wasp
#

is the korthia Haste/Vers ring (maxed at 233) good enough to use over 246 haste/mast or haste/crit rings? the only other haste/vers is the NW one

sweet summit
#

nah

strong forum
#

nope

radiant anvil
#

Really as long as you got high haste you should be good right?

strong forum
#

if your ring has haste, its a good ring

#

simple as

radiant anvil
#

Yeah I was thinking that you don't want to sacrifice ilvl for haste / vers items

#

I know that's true for things with str but for rings and necks I'm not 100% sure that's the same case

strong forum
#

you can drop ilvl on rings and neck defo

#

but you dont drop ilvl from haste + X ring to haste vers ring

#

thats inting

main wasp
#

got it

white bramble
#

Hey there, i am looking for something to sim my protgear. Do you Guys just use Raidbots or is there any other website?

strong forum
#

just equip highest ilvl and youre good to go

sweet summit
#

raidbots yeah

#

but thats just for dps

#

damage

radiant anvil
#

I sim myself by asking my healers if healing me is hard

modern brook
#

bad metric

#

every healer is a hunchback mouth breather

lavish oracle
#

no, that's dps

#

healers are our buds

modern brook
#

Nah Healers are Quasimodo bro

#

DPS arent people

crude cosmos
#

sweet! Thanks for the reply! I was dreading the change of covenant lol

pure pagoda
#

hey all, is there anywhere I can find out what stuff I can spell reflect? I usually read tanknotes but it doesn't seem to list everything I can reflect

mighty valley
#

There's a spreadsheet in the pins, near the bottom

tropic linden
#

How do u mitigate deathlink consistently if it's not blockable?

modern brook
#

Ip and demo shout

#

Same way we block everything that's not blockable we ignore it and yell at it

tropic linden
#

IP reduces the dmg to the raid? Isn't just mitigation?

wooden widget
#

hi all i didnt see in the pins, which guide do you recommend icy veins or wowhead

#

oh theres a whole channel

#

nvm!

sturdy sable
#

soo whats the census on the trinket off Eye?

zenith vigil
#

there definitely isn't a trinket list on both wowhead or icyveins

sturdy sable
#

well thanks for clearing that up for me

#

good thing i asked here then

radiant anvil
modern brook
sturdy sable
#

yeah i know what the guide says i was more hoping for someones experiences with said trinket

#

but f me i guess

#

guess ill be the trail blazer on this topic

strong forum
#

in raid it has solid uptime

#

in m+ it can be hit or miss since your hp moves alot

sturdy sable
#

thank you Nom

strong forum
#

its not great and not terrible

smh

how u gunna be pissy at ppl reading the guide but not pissy at ppl reading the trinket to you :/

single best joke ive ever made

craggy pilot
#

anyone know why Revenge & TC got an AOE cap and Thrash doesnt? ๐Ÿค”

strong forum
#

cuz fuck pwar damage

#

typical overreaction from bfa

craggy pilot
#

like putting AOE cap on Thrash would fix Druid insta

sweet summit
#

what no

#

thats the wrong direction

#

just remove caps entirely

distant crystal
#

a couple of niche caps here and there are neat

#

i felt like fury being the 5-target gods was a cool niche

#

is revenge/tc 5 target capped or just split beyond 5

sweet summit
#

square root past 5 iirc

#

no thats not it

#

DR is sqr root

#

its just some dumb falloff shit

So I'm agreeing to show unified front to the lurkers

restive wigeon

anyone else getting omega deleted by the first 2 packs in dos

#

+18 and above

dos is our achilles heel

like how can I take those amounts of damage

#

tf am I supposed to do

strong forum
#

run

restive wigeon
#

I did

radiant anvil
#

i hear the curve from 16+ is pretty high and ive only done it on a 16

restive wigeon
#

theyre casting siht

strong forum
#

and pray your dps can kill it fast enough

restive wigeon
#

shit

#

at me

radiant anvil
#

the first pack was a bit easier but that big pack full of caster

#

oof

restive wigeon
#

I used bolster for the first pack

#

held shieldwall for the second pack

#

cuz that one has the nasty caster in it

#

idk im just getting cocked

radiant anvil
#

yeah pug's do not like to interrupt it

restive wigeon
#

for some reason I even lived both packs on +20 but still depleted somewhere else

modern brook
restive wigeon
#

on 19 on 18 my healers just couldnt handle it

#

and I get it

modern brook
#

and things are really only balanced around the 15 mark

restive wigeon
#

the damage is completely outrageous

radiant anvil
#

more vers

#

MORE VERS!

restive wigeon
#

ye I guess so

#

but like idk

strong forum
#

better dps

restive wigeon
#

design seems flawed

strong forum
#

absolutely

restive wigeon
#

how am I taking that much damage

strong forum
#

those 2-3 packs in DoS are absolute death

restive wigeon
#

when I literally have almost no healing

strong forum
#

pure magic dmg

modern brook
restive wigeon
#

I think even bdk does better in that situation

radiant anvil
#

so as long as i have shockwave and ancient aftershock im good to go

restive wigeon
#

at least a bdk can heal himself

radiant anvil
#

i roll with a boomkin for 15+ because of the fact trees

#

thats the one and only reason

restive wigeon
#

guess I should keep running wizard comp as well

#

trees are broken

distant crystal
#

Jump in there, pump a bunch of dam, blow all your defensives, then head for the hills

radiant anvil
#

i don't even care who else is in the group

#

that trees is op

If you die blame the dps for not killing it faster

I start to prefer tyra weeks on prot honestly

with incoming damage

tyra weeks are hard on dps, fort weeks are hard on tank

Hey guys just started prot warr as kyrian, anyone know if there is a cast on target macro for spear of bastion?

restive wigeon

I would just like to not get completely deleted

[@target]

probably wont wokr for spear

radiant anvil
#

i remember when i first tanked DoS

modern brook
#

[@mouse] i think is where your mouse is

radiant anvil
#

i pulled the first double pack

#

and i folded

modern brook
#

[@self] drops it with you as the center point

restive wigeon
#

I remember my first dos as well, was also a warrior tanking it but not me, he also just immediatly died

#

+0 btw

radiant anvil
#

i still have issues with groups where they don't let me get aggro on them fully

#

they lust, drop cd's, and don't cc

#

and its like let me charge in first

restive wigeon
#

I rarely ever have aggro issues

#

I charge in

#

clap

#

swifty macro

radiant anvil
#

oh i wish they would let me do it

#

i don't even dismount before they blow their load

restive wigeon

no allstars can do things besides throw

you got an entire team of outfielders

restive wigeon
#

yknow whats funny

#

the dos packs

#

I charged in there

#

with a 40k fleshcraft and like a 40k ish scale shield

#

and obv reprisal

and I still almost immediatly died

#

WHAT IS THAT DAMAGE

its called magic damage

if i have Shard of Dyz, Kyr and Cor, and 2x 226 items with socket, and a 213 chest (downgrade from 236)
should i use the 213?

modern brook
#

in raid yes

strong forum
#

if it means you get the set bonus

#

1000%

modern brook
#

^

#

IDR any of he shard except dyz cause peepohide

strong forum
#

the bonus is worth exactly 259 ilvl (on 1 item)

modern brook
strong forum
#

ya

modern brook
#

lmao

strong forum
#

pretty sure you cant get 700 dps from a single item anywhere else

#

:^)

distant crystal
#

hmm time to find a 0 ilvl dom shard piece

strong forum
#

except weapon

distant crystal
#

to test this theory

modern brook
craggy pilot
#

im not getting the set, i dont have 3 blood shards yet

#

and i do M+

modern brook
#

i wouldnt drop 23 ilvls for +30 speed

#

looked them up

#

Kyr and Cor are worth it

#

Dyz i wouldnt drop ilvl for

craggy pilot
#

Dyz worse than Cor?

modern brook
#

in keys?

#

yeha

craggy pilot
#

ok

dusky canopy
#

Kyr for sure

modern brook
#

Kyr is dumb yeah

dusky canopy
#

Rank 3 kyr does like 10% or more of my self healing

#

That with the ward power

#

Ez

craggy pilot
#

ward power?

#

the 20% shield every 45s?

dusky canopy
#

Yes, couldn't think of the name atm

modern brook
#

stone ward

distant crystal
#

tbh even in raid Cor is kinda lit

dusky canopy
#

Right now I'm running kyr and jas in M+ mostly because it's my only options but they actually seem to be helpful

distant crystal
#

so many add fights, and it's your dmg not your dmg to that target

craggy pilot
#

does Cor stack?

#

like if you attack 5 new targets is is 100% dmg?

#

nah that would be OP ๐Ÿ˜„

distant crystal
#

lol, don't think so

#

would just refresh

craggy pilot
#

or stack the duration maybe?

distant crystal
#

either way of stacking would be pretty strong

#

maybe it pandemics

#

but no, just refreshes buff to 20sec

craggy pilot
#

-1.2% dps on 5 targets

modern brook
#

Cor increases your damage

distant crystal
#

dyz should just ramp up on all the targets right

#

or is it only 1 at a time

craggy pilot
#

cant it increase on multiple targets?

modern brook
#

Dys likely loses on 2

craggy pilot
#

or is it locked to one at a time?

distant crystal
modern brook
#

Smh fuxk tool rips bro

craggy pilot
#

are we supposed to take the set in M+ because it works "sometimes" ?

#

or just the 3 dps + Kyr?

strong forum
#

sets arent supposed to work in m+

#

absolutely not

#

its a massive bug if they do

modern brook
#

Massive feature

jagged pier
#

its also in the pins which shards to take

#

to what content

modern brook
jagged pier
#

They are

#

Like no question

#

They are even in m+

#

Like 30 ilvls is not the same as fay getting 500-600k worth of absorb from a shard

#

And thats not to mention the dps increase shards

@craggy pilot there u go fam

just tried tanking a dungeon for the first time at level 23 and literally kept dying to the first mob pack

Which dungeon

freehold

Also it was your teams fault

yes not +23

leveling experience is uh

Prioritize shield block over ignore pain

Assuming you have it rn

#

never use IP

shy coral
#

was using shield block and ignore pain and I still died

strong forum
#

leveling is just bad

#

before level 50

#

i think

modern brook
#

Consider changing time line to like cata

#

The earlier dungeons are less stupid to tank, and have quests for bonus exp

#

In addition to the bonus exp from randomin

shy coral
#

how do they not let you queue for any dungeon and still level in bfa

modern brook
#

Channel that rage into shield blocks

#

Rotate whatever defensive cds you have

shy coral
#

promise I did lol

#

even just unlocked the 2 charges on shield block

still died really quick

modern brook
#

It's that the scaling at lower levels is whack and we get extra fuckes by it

craggy pilot
#

@jagged pier ofc i know absorb is worth it, but i was thinking if the Dyz is worth dropping 20 ilvl for as prot tank... the dps it gives seems pretty low

shy coral
#

im also never getting the proc from devestator?

#

i dont think I've seen my shield slam cooldown reset once

are you sure

like again, leveling is just weird

i havent been low level since cata so i cant say much

but i imagine its quite shit

233 ring to 242 for 750 valor

is ring 3rd thing to upgrade after wep/shield?

it depends, theres a good argument for trinkets too

I feel like an idiot, but I pump IP on eye. That fight just hurts so much :(

what do you guys think of scale +defence matric for raid ?

dusky elk
chrome falcon
#

literally just unbind SB for the eye

it only does dps

and if you're on mythic and doing the strat where tanks never reset you'll die if you spend rage on it

also, signet only works for avatar for us, so its not good at all

mellow bridge
#

Major exception is the eye as even his "whitehit" isn't blockable

#

Just spam ip on that guy

Altho you can use SB for the melee add

#

Not the two eyes, the one that tries to pull you in

SB work on Sylvanas "Rangers Heartseeker"? My prot warrior takes roughly 15-20% of my HP pool in damage where the other tank in my guild, a druid, gets absolutly wrecked.

The only blockable damage on eye is from? the angel mob right?

That block/reflect pin is legit

Is the Deathlink damage that pings out across the raid reduced, if you absorb with Ignore Pain?

Got it thank you

F the Eye, just use SB and ask for all externals ๐Ÿ™‚

But would something like Chicocoon help the raid damage, then?

or are they still getting bounced for the full value of dmg taken

Asborb should work for the deathlink, it's not that deadly though

absorbs any hits under 6k. so, if you full of necrotic, taking 5999 dmg every 0.5 seconds, suddenly no youre not.

violet violet
#

Does it absorb all hits? Or only frontals? Or only physical?

true sparrow
#

physical, magic, bleeds, poisons, I think it has to be in fronty of you for directed attacks, but debuffs it doesnt care the sources location

violet violet
#

Seems insane haha thanks man

regal vale
#

It's insane for pulling big, lots of small mobs feel like you aren't even taking damage

true sparrow

its like Oldschool Block, where you just become immune

Biggest tossup is the bigger instant threat gen from blood scale though

Run both! alternate on packs ๐Ÿ˜›

Only the damage that actually reduces your own hp gets reflected onto the raid

violet violet
#

But for pure defense in keys it seems amazing

regal vale
#

Line that bad boy up with a shield block In a massive pull and watch your health bar remain at 100%

So you wanna have like 2 IPs for it and it will barely deal any dmg

When you're with classes that just instantly blast like NF arms

im NF and have set up my conduits for arms. I know this is def not ideal but i should still be able to pug my way up to 15's like this, right?

#

I guess the question is, just how dependent on conduits are we?

mighty valley
#

Not very

#

You will definitely be fine using a 2nd soulbind for your prot conduits

steep condor
#

Could I just go with the arms conduits? That soulbind seems to have some nice stuff for prot and half the conduits are the same as arms anyway.

true sparrow
#

I just tank with Dreamweaver or Korayn.

steep condor

I will check out dream weaver (middle one?) then. I have korayn set up for fury in m+. Thx man.

Is it worth dropping 3 ilvls to get a Domination Socket?

oak lotus
#

Yes unless speed or other shitty ones

median tulip
#

I've got a Shard of Dyz I can use

radiant anvil
#

3ilvls would still be worth if you get a healing received gain or a dps gain. But if it's for speed it wouldn't be worth

median tulip
#

Dyz is the "damage to a target you damage, stacks" one

radiant anvil

Yeah the gain is worth losing 3 ilvls

# jaunty rune Does Ignore pain reduce the raid damage taken from Deathlink?

Just dug through my log for you. The base damage (before mitigation) the raid takes appears to be 63% of the ~net~ damage each tank takes after mitigation & absorbs. Bear took a 38k hit, raid ticks were ~24k before mitigation. I took 16k on the next hit (incl trinket absorb & IP), raid ticks were ~10k

stats dont matter

its your highest ilvl pieces

thats it

if u have to choose between 2 piece with the same ilvl u always pick the 1 with more haste

i got around that decision

#

by going night fae

jagged pier
#

kelia is highest for me as we have her last slot

steep condor
#

Has anyone tried using the second night fae soulbind for tanking? I want to use the first one for raid arms, the third for fury in m+ and was wondering if the second is viable for prot in m+..

#

The alternative is to just use one of the other two soulbinds and accept that not all of the conduits will be helpful to me as a prot warrior.

zenith vigil
#

you can switch soulbinds easily tho?

steep condor
#

but not the conduits that go in them.

zenith vigil
#

oh

#

true

steep condor
#

so for example my first soulbind, which is what i would normally use for tanking, has fury conduits (about half are in common with prot, just a couple are different). So am i better off using that soulbind or trying to make the second one work.

Oki cool, thanks

dusky canopy
#

Korayn however is great if youre struggling with snap threat

#

If using korayn, Ergas* example works great imo that's what I would use

subtle tulip
#

But as long as you go ravager, I feel threat aint a issue. Still got AOE taunt if I got a boomie who is gonna go crazy. And the beef of Niya makes me feel I can just face tank for longer periods. But I get the snap threat of korayn is unlike other.

zenith vigil
#

Nina?

sweet summit
#

its not just for snap threat

zenith vigil
#

do you mean "Niya" ?

sweet summit
#

korayn is just straight up better for damage in m+

#

like

#

a lot better

subtle tulip
#

๐Ÿ˜„

dusky canopy
#

It's is better for damage no denying

zenith vigil
#

niya's "regain 20% hp when falling under 50% every 60s

#

is kinda dope

#

no?

dusky canopy
#

Yeah thats what I like about niya

#

And burs helps boss damage for us

zenith vigil
#

or is that a case of your health goes up and down so much that 20% is irrelevant

dusky canopy
#

I wouldn't say it's irrelevant self healing is self healing and we lack that

subtle tulip
#

Nah I like it blue, but I guess the sentiment is that you lose out on too much DPS in M+ compared to the utility you get from Niya.

zenith vigil
#

so if you're tanking mostly M+ korayn probably better then

dusky canopy
#

If your goal is aoe damage yes

#

I think burs is our best single target trait option so tyrannical weeks that could prove to be useful

zenith vigil
#

most of the guides say stick to niya

sweet summit
#

Nah

#

On a lot of bosses you csn prof first strike a lot

#

Which makes korayn very close/better

dusky canopy
#

Like for me I usually will try to shadowcore/phantom fire every boss that plus being niya, Makes me contribute alot of ST boss damage

#

Any situation where you can re proc first strike, yeah huge

#

@sweet summit can we proc first strike on hakkar adds?

sweet summit
#

If you damage them before they damage you yea

a 5 stack of quaking one shots everyone?

a 3 stack quaking already does

actually need a 4 stack

since its 40% on 2 80% on 3

the zone reduces the quaking dmg maybe?

Thing with the stand still thing is that it goes back to full stacks in like a second or so

#

So as long as you stand still you should have it up most of the time in cb

#

But i havent used it enough to see the numbers

urban portal
#

it literally says 3 seconds to stack up

#

idk how you are getting it in 1 second

on the grand scale of infinity, 3seconds is roughly the same as 1 second

modern brook

at least until nerfs roll it where it'll only be pog

#

in m+ you want the damage ones and the frost defensive one idr the name of cause they made sure this system is as forgettable as possible

Yo any idea why Heavy Repercussions is simming higher than AM? Kinda wild
