I've seen some tanks not take a lot of damage because they don't taunt off like they should
I run decanter and scale I love it
but given that it doesnt have a deadzone i guess its good
i want sack + matrix or aegis + matrix tbh
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
even tho i already have it on 246?
Scale is S tier for us
mmmh
Good damage and shield
that i know but i already farmed it
Do you have a cloak?
then idk
Even bigger with more mobs
i do have a 252 cloak yes
Oh, yeah, the other trinkets bad
yes it gets very confusing, ty for tips anyway
the curse of choice is real
but like i said, the 6ilvl are literally 10% upgrade on scale
You might have a higher chance of getting the dom socket from raid
Than seeing a scale at 252
I rolled prot on my vault nearly the entire length of 9.0, never saw a scale in my box.
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
ended up just running phial/decanter :V
real men farmed the scale and took 30 tries to get it
Took me well over fifty started farming it during council got it 2 weeks before we killed sire
Same. Both patches
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
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
that might be a sim yourself kind of answer; either choice is going to be temporary
Yo guys, what anima powers are u picking in m+
Tanknotes has a good rundown https://www.tanknotes.com/mythic-plus/season-2-tormented
i like to use a picker wheel and see what RNG gives me
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
you mean, the ring slot can give high haste right? cause that ring doesn't. And the thinket is kinda meh
that ring is crit haste no?
yeah but the haste is not much. I was more oriented towards the strenght increase, but perhaps ring is better
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?
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
aight thanks ^^
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
nah
nope
Really as long as you got high haste you should be good right?
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
you can drop ilvl on rings and neck defo
but you dont drop ilvl from haste + X ring to haste vers ring
thats inting
got it
Hey there, i am looking for something to sim my protgear. Do you Guys just use Raidbots or is there any other website?
just equip highest ilvl and youre good to go
I sim myself by asking my healers if healing me is hard
sweet! Thanks for the reply! I was dreading the change of covenant lol
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
There's a spreadsheet in the pins, near the bottom
How do u mitigate deathlink consistently if it's not blockable?
Ip and demo shout
Same way we block everything that's not blockable we ignore it and yell at it
IP reduces the dmg to the raid? Isn't just mitigation?
hi all i didnt see in the pins, which guide do you recommend icy veins or wowhead
oh theres a whole channel
nvm!
soo whats the census on the trinket off Eye?
there definitely isn't a trinket list on both wowhead or icyveins
Use both, and watch people like pika for more advance breakdowns
Probably does more harm than good, but the good parts can be pretty good.
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
thank you Nom
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 :/
yah yah
๐ช๐ธ
Is that some world cup joke im too free to understand?
can you do an ASMR stream where you just read activated trinket proc descriptions to me?
High key would watch tha
Noms got a voice fam โค๏ธ
true
kek
do we have a mikanikos tree?
I must say that i like my warrior necrolord, is my alt but i have enjoy so far this play style of support
night fae gang rise up
maybe it's a non-issue in reality but the first left side feels weird
thanks
but thanks

You can go right side no one cares but we only have 2 good endurance conduits
9/10 you dont use phial anyway
honestly the knock back combod with brons knockback seems more annoying than its worth
this is like 90% of mikos power here anyways
also - who im talking about
๐ณ
me
u are hot
thx u too
thanks
wna fuck
yea
nice
anyone know why Revenge & TC got an AOE cap and Thrash doesnt? ๐ค
like putting AOE cap on Thrash would fix Druid insta
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
square root past 5 iirc
no thats not it
DR is sqr root
its just some dumb falloff shit
do you guys know which tormentor is in ardenweald this week?
not sure if theres a resource to check what the tormentor rotation is on dungeons this week
genuinely surprised it's not on wowhead's front page
i think mdt has it
Tc and revenge scaling is werid
ima guess Frost, Bleed, Fire, then Tin Can
Uncapped to 5 targets, then linearly less damage up to 12 where it stays at the same value until 20where its soft capped
Did they? When
in beta
its now just straight up sqrt past 5
Probably better tbh
unless im completely sperging
Ngl I think ur sperging but frankly it straight doesn't matter
So I'm agreeing to show unified front to the lurkers
its dumb AF that we're the only tank thats entirely hard/softcapped
vdh has uncapped immo aura and spb
bear has uncapped thrash
Lmao ashen hollow
TRUUUUUUUUUU
Bdk got done dirty tbh
dont remind me ๐ฆ
I miss the utility and viable conversations from 8.0
they still exist
anyone else getting omega deleted by the first 2 packs in dos
+18 and above
makes me wanna quit the prot life
dos is our achilles heel
its in my vault
every week
like how can I take those amounts of damage
tf am I supposed to do
run
I did
i hear the curve from 16+ is pretty high and ive only done it on a 16
theyre casting siht
and pray your dps can kill it fast enough
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
yeah pug's do not like to interrupt it
for some reason I even lived both packs on +20 but still depleted somewhere else
key multilpiers and fort/tyr stack mulitplicatively, so dungeon difficulty is exponential
and things are really only balanced around the 15 mark
the damage is completely outrageous
better dps
design seems flawed
absolutely
how am I taking that much damage
those 2-3 packs in DoS are absolute death
when I literally have almost no healing
pure magic dmg
welcome to 9.X tanking
I think even bdk does better in that situation
so as long as i have shockwave and ancient aftershock im good to go
at least a bdk can heal himself
i roll with a boomkin for 15+ because of the fact trees
thats the one and only reason
Jump in there, pump a bunch of dam, blow all your defensives, then head for the hills
If you die blame the dps for not killing it faster
always this
I start to prefer tyra weeks on prot honestly
most tanks do
bears never look like they have any issues
idk man i like the pain
with incoming damage
tyra weeks are hard on dps, fort weeks are hard on tank
inside cds bears are invincible
Hey guys just started prot warr as kyrian, anyone know if there is a cast on target macro for spear of bastion?
I would just like to not get completely deleted
i remember when i first tanked DoS
[@mouse] i think is where your mouse is
[@self] drops it with you as the center point
I remember my first dos as well, was also a warrior tanking it but not me, he also just immediatly died
+0 btw
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
oh i wish they would let me do it
i don't even dismount before they blow their load
lmao
i got trigger happy dps
you mean allstars
:^)
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
its like smooth brain charging the enraged dogs in halls
magic dont give no fucks about your shield

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?
in raid yes
the bonus is worth exactly 259 ilvl (on 1 item)
like 252 ilvl difference?
ya
lmao
hmm time to find a 0 ilvl dom shard piece
except weapon
to test this theory
you can probably just make one
i wouldnt drop 23 ilvls for +30 speed
looked them up
Kyr and Cor are worth it
Dyz i wouldnt drop ilvl for
Dyz worse than Cor?
ok
Kyr for sure
Kyr is dumb yeah
Yes, couldn't think of the name atm
stone ward
tbh even in raid Cor is kinda lit
Right now I'm running kyr and jas in M+ mostly because it's my only options but they actually seem to be helpful
so many add fights, and it's your dmg not your dmg to that target
does Cor stack?
like if you attack 5 new targets is is 100% dmg?
nah that would be OP ๐
or stack the duration maybe?
either way of stacking would be pretty strong
maybe it pandemics
but no, just refreshes buff to 20sec
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/nC31vMok47nNwxR4kC6L2x
ah i guess that settles it ๐
-1.2% dps on 5 targets
Dyz is a damage increase to a target
Cor increases your damage
cant it increase on multiple targets?
Dys likely loses on 2
or is it locked to one at a time?
Smh fuxk tool rips bro
are we supposed to take the set in M+ because it works "sometimes" ?
or just the 3 dps + Kyr?
Massive feature
The question isn't which gems but whether it's worth dropping ilvl for
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
genuinely dont know if it was my fault or the healer
Which dungeon
freehold
yes not +23
leveling experience is uh
Bad
yeah uhm
never use IP
was using shield block and ignore pain and I still died
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
how do they not let you queue for any dungeon and still level in bfa
Lmao we have to unlock that?
Yeeeesh
just got it
fastest renown catchup?
would a different tank class be easier to learn for my first tank?
lfr and spamming dungeons
i heard torghats was good, how does thisc ompare w/ dungeon spam
It's not that prots hard to learn, although it is more involved than say druid or brew
It's that the scaling at lower levels is whack and we get extra fuckes by it
@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
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
whats better to upgrade?
239 wep to 242 for 750 valor
233 ring to 242 for 750 valor
?
weppy
i thought wep upgrades are only 500 valor
oh it was
my addon is wrong then ๐
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 :(
so many dumb unblockable things in SoD
all of sylvannus, all of the eye, tankbuster on the nine.
like... why
I need to find a list of unblockable things in sod, cause my dumbass was spamming SB on sylvannas, the eye and the nine
what soulbind do you guys use this week for m+ as kyrian?
anyone knows anything about getting a shard back after missplacing it???
its about the blood shard from the world boss
why? where did you see that
because the capstone is absolutely insane
Mikanikos will hard outdps pelagos on aoe
fuck this week M+ is hilarious
just had +15 run where i was doing 2nd most dps
and then healer left before 1st boss :<
also, is there a generally accepted better piece to craft reprisal on if you're doing mostly m+
any banner gang played with the emeni capstone in m+ yet? haven't been able to finish the renown for this week yet
what do you guys think of scale +defence matric for raid ?
So like... on the fights where no ability is blockable... do we still cast SB for the auto attacks or just dump into IP and Revenge
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
(that was my experience week 1, probably not true with better gear)
I ran Signet on the Eye today because I donโt have the Wall. No idea if thatโs a good idea or not but now Iโm a 5/10H tank! /flex
You still use SB as the majority of dmg comes from whitehits
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.
Check the block/reflect pin
Whopping 20k damage on two procs. Plus some rage for Revenge.
4 procs were Reck that also had no defensive value because canโt parry either
The only blockable damage on eye is from? the angel mob right?
yah
Is the Deathlink damage that pings out across the raid reduced, if you absorb with Ignore Pain?
Check pins, scroll all the way down to the tinyurl/reflectguide link
Got it thank you
F the Eye, just use SB and ask for all externals ๐
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
I watch the raids health after the Monk gets hit, and then after i get hit, and i feel bad.
Don't, just say to your heals you help them parse ๐
Sooooooo is the nine trinket op af in keys?
Seems much better than blood scale. But I could be wrong
Holy shit its so good.
Sb only doing dps still makes it a better use of your rage than ip
absorbs any hits under 6k. so, if you full of necrotic, taking 5999 dmg every 0.5 seconds, suddenly no youre not.
Does it absorb all hits? Or only frontals? Or only physical?
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
Seems insane haha thanks man
It's insane for pulling big, lots of small mobs feel like you aren't even taking damage
its like Oldschool Block, where you just become immune
Yeah absorbs reduce the damage
Biggest tossup is the bigger instant threat gen from blood scale though
Run both! alternate on packs ๐
Only the damage that actually reduces your own hp gets reflected onto the raid
But for pure defense in keys it seems amazing
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
Add demo shout if necessary
Missing out on snap threat on scale really felt bad
โค๏ธ

main_hand=,id=186410,enchant_id=6229,bonus_id=7189/6652/1472/6646/7748
Like that?
(for Normal)
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?
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.
I just tank with Dreamweaver or Korayn.
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?
Yes unless speed or other shitty ones
I've got a Shard of Dyz I can use
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
Dyz is the "damage to a target you damage, stacks" one
Yeah the gain is worth losing 3 ilvls
Heroic dom socket piece or a 252 ilvl vault piece ?
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
This is H
juist getting back after away for a few weeks anything new for prots i gotta know?
When you kill mythic 9..and you get the 252 LEGGINGS..
...now I have a nice pair of legs when I do easy keys with seismic boots. =((((((((
is piercing lens on eotj still not blockable?
just give them away ldo
oh that was an hour ago
yes you can't block shit on eotj except the little winged dudes
are you still using reprisal leggo
Reprisal ๐๐๐
turn evil
no to repentance, yes to turn evil
making it run around is a little bit sketch but you just gotta move further away
Hey guys how many % of stats do I need to have to be the best prot warrior ? :P
Actualy I have :
17%crit
20%haste
32%masterie
23%vers
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
humm ok so haste > masterie = vers = crit ?
Haste > Vers > Whatever
Unless youโre going for raw dps, then you just sim for your best stats
if i have the blood setboni on t4 should i keep my stygian ember for the t5 push or should i start upgrade the other two dps sockets?
rank 4 the highest isnt it?
oh no ignore that i cant count
i would save now till the nerfs
might change the set we want
you think frost could be viable?
When will nerfs hit?
next week or soon we think
Also maybe remains to be seen but will dom sockets > ilvl even after nerfs?
yes
the gems arent being nerfed
just the sets
so the gems in m+ are still ๐
Hey peeps.
New warrior here. Wondering what is the best prot covenant. And which covenant works good for allround, if you like to play tank/pvp thx in advanced.
Does the last boss of nw do physical or magic dmg on the party? Shield block works on the aoe. I was debating whether or not skipping Soggy would be a good idea
ice shards is phyical
kyrian
Blood set will prob still be the best choice for us even with the nerfs
probably but we dont know that until the numbers come out
Ice shards on the tank is physical, the ticking aoe dmg when a shield is up is magical
Hi there. I wonder why so many people have the reprisal leggy on their boots and not on their legs, because of the stats. Did I miss something?
during CN people crafted reprisal on boots if they were killing mythic SLG
ah ok ty
does anyone have some resources on some good routes for 15-18 keys this week?
252
More stats > โright statsโ
also for +19 +20 keys? losing so much versa with that 252 neck
oki thanks ๐
how do you deal with this?
You do world quests in Revendreth
i mean u can literally see how much your posting stuff for so his fault for not paying attention
๐คท
lel
pretty much
Heโs not doing anything illegal
okie thanks
bots will post stuff at lowest as soon as someone undercuts
so hes taking money from bots
just pay attention if your gunna post on the AH and look at what your listing for
So haste vers items are trash now?
as i consistantly say stats dont matter becuase ilvl is all that counts really
me after gaining 10 ilvl but losing 3% vers
so is blood, unholy or frost best for prot (in mythic raid)?
the wall or reprisal for kyrian prot warr in 9.1?

depends on what content
m+ focused
rep then
is mikanikos simming higher than pelagos this week or is it next week
too lazy to sim myself
๐
I'm so happy this discord has this
hes been simming more for a while
cheerio
kelia is highest for me as we have her last slot
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.
you can switch soulbinds easily tho?
but not the conduits that go in them.
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.
@sweet summit post your Korayn picture thingy for fury/prot. ๐
There you go Doobkut. 

Been running some 15s with Nina, tbh it feels good. Was wondering what others thoughts were on this? Or do people mainly stick to the Korayn first strike?
i see, so eventually you will run Aegis and phial?
definitely korayn first strike in m+
yes
gotta get that big dps hea ^^
owned
by who
bilsard
im telling california state
uhoh

guys, do we care about the domination shard nerfs?
we care
yesterday I had joined 3 groups that just killed it before I could tag. Feelsbd
My trinket choices suck right now.. Quantum device 252 or hook 252? which one is better?
alright
hook
hook
big dam
Oki cool, thanks
I've been running the same setup and I like it
Korayn however is great if youre struggling with snap threat
If using korayn, Ergas* example works great imo that's what I would use
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.
Nina?
its not just for snap threat
do you mean "Niya" ?
๐
It's is better for damage no denying
or is that a case of your health goes up and down so much that 20% is irrelevant
I wouldn't say it's irrelevant self healing is self healing and we lack that
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.
so if you're tanking mostly M+ korayn probably better then
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
most of the guides say stick to niya
Nah
On a lot of bosses you csn prof first strike a lot
Which makes korayn very close/better
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?
If you damage them before they damage you yea
But my mom always said "Never hit first". ๐ฆ
bring back gag order
Bring back heroic strike
Zzzz
bring back sexy
If I switch to NF, do I have todo the whole campaign again? Or did smth change with 9.1
bring back 2007 ๐
if u havent been NF before yes
Zzz guess I stay kyrian:<
Kinda miss the mop banners tbh
But i wasnt good enough to know if they were even worth
But they felt fun
Finally swapped to Kyrian, le'sigh, here we go!
Does anyone know how old warriors soul trinket works? It takes a long time to ramp up, but sims tell me its still best option in M+, wouldnt the buff drop off in between combat?
it really strong for m+
it take 15 secs to fall off
if u take longer betweenpacks i dunno what your doign
Thats what I was wondering about, the drop off time
havent been able to decide between that at a normal level and some 252 wrist piece in my vault
pit fighters vambraces
so he pull 3 packs and they bolster up the fking Vanguard :<
Stitched Vanguard with 9 bolster 1 shotting everyone ๐
Does the wrist have a Dom socket? Otherwise an easy choice :D
nope its dungeon gear
The problem is I dont heroic Raid a Ton and almost never mythic raid so GV 252 dungeon gear is the highest ill get
not sure if heroic wrists with dom socket are better than 252s if im not using the set bonus in M+
wtf quaking in last boss Sanguine hahahaha
fucking hell
it lined up with gloom squail 3 times
Best quaking is taking the birds upstairs for NW then having it proc ass everyone is dropped down onto eachother
a 5 stack of quaking one shots everyone?
a 3 stack quaking already does
we had 2 people die in last boss sanguine twice, because they didnt go in the zone
the zone reduces the quaking dmg maybe?
no it doesnt
lol, so cant stack in it because of quaking?
๐
so you just have to have 2 people die if it lines up?
the Khaal blow up thing
its all dmg reduction
so healer was just dumb for not going in with quaking
You can also spread around the edges of the circle and reduce overlap
cause I think a 4x quake + the gloom dmg is gonna kill you through the dome
What anima powers u use basicly in m+ now
I kinda Like the one that standing still boost your armor and dmg... But in the guide its not mentioned
yer because barbs is better
Dmg wise?
barbs is a free 400 dps
yes
consistently
standing still boost isnt REMOTELY consistent
im always adjusting position and stuff
why Prot has over 6% value from Windfury Totem?
devastator
because melee is strong
We atk

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
on the grand scale of infinity, 3seconds is roughly the same as 1 second
true
like if you begin your log at the dawn of the universe
as lim x->inf , 1/x=3/x
Is it worth to use heroic gear (239) instead of a 249 gear just for the set bonus? And on M+? Is it worth for the buffs from Dom. Shards?
in raid yes set bonus is poggers
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
and yes its worth dropping ilvl for in m+ too
Thanks. Hate to recraft my leggo...
reprisal should be on thighs anyways
At least this one stays 
Yo any idea why Heavy Repercussions is simming higher than AM? Kinda wild
I'm guessing the 3 rage + higher SB uptime which leads to 30% increase on shield slam dam might be enough, but higher avatar uptime with AM just seems like it should be better
link
i was told Booming Voice was better in ST as well, so seems something weird is up with this sim
Exactly
Unless we are hitting haste points that allow us to spam revenge on global... which already feels like we can
are there any good DPS trinkets that also work for tanking? Similar to Stone Legion Heraldry in CN?
other than the Sylv trinket ofc
well a) the sims only dps
thats why its telling you NF and BSC are better
b) its single target
I was getting there nom ๐
hahahahaha
i put my spec in prot for fun
and got this
is this any good for bad tanks
@strong forum good point, I do not. Lemme resim
its A- scored here, so pretty good
it's something like 400dps/hps
You're also not simming BV at all Gethrag
in m+ anyway
You were only simming BSC
400 hps sounds pretty good to me
it's more like 300-400 I believe
@timber cloud
but still very good
Yep, just noticed too 
I'm coming after Sense's parses on our heroic clear today hehe
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3DVcBJk9Y6RGwLdYAkjmAw
mine also says HR with BV and WFT
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9gnzauKKtAcaxBYWydtoEq
highest kyrian sim for me here has HR and BSC very close to the standard options. no windfury hmm
Hm weird
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/prXeH3B54Nq1ZmHND7hHUS
even with no WFT HR sims higher for me
Find it hard to believe that 3 more rage and a few% more SB uptime are more dmg than getting 2x as many avatars lining up with every BV
But weird
oh wait im simming Ravager
sir, its 15 dps, but yea
15dps pog
Haven't looked at the exact dps
need to squeeze every inch ๐
@timber cloud Come after me bro I had a few good ones yesterday
still some bosses that are annoying to parses though...
I delayed my CDs for so long on Soulrender just to use them just before last adds spawn like a failure
And Tarrague when your guild don't have time for rerolling Anima 
If I don't beat you today I'm coming with a vengeance next week when I'm back to NF
heh
Yeah tarragrue super high variance... sucks to have to get antistun in mythic 
I got my Blood Link R3 > R4 after the raid, wished I could have done with it
It looks like 3pc Unholy is still the play for dps maxing
For tanks bloodlink will be better
Still
If the nerf is really gonna be 50%for unholy and 40% for blood
It's ahead of unholy right now by like 50-100 dps
And unholy is getting nerfed more
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
So bloodlink will highly likely still be the go-to set for tanks
LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I should really do some PF...
Gz ๐
@timber cloud Do you have WFT in your raid?
Nope... did I accidentally include it again? @cinder roost

Hey tanks. I want to start up retail again (poor timing tho) and want to tank. Not looking for the easiest class but looking for fun/challenge. Is warrior my best bet? Are you having fun tanking?
pink prot if you want a challenge ๐
u need a blood set to get that now
I would suggest looking up videos of end game content from the pov of different tanks for this decision
If you come to the prot warrior discord asking if we like prot warrior the answer will be yes
Well the answer could be no we hate it but we can't leave
we are all stuck on our warriors because we dont want to farm up dom sockets again on an alt lol
item question... got 252 neck from remnant mythic. wearing 230 crafted neck (haste/vers). cant buy socket at the emoment ... do i still wear crafted?
no
more stats > less better stats
but that neck is dogshit
so feelycrafty i guess
if it had haste on it
u would change 100%
mhmm unlucky i guess^^
well u can equip it and see how u feel
like that crit is pretty good for dps and m+ for parries
Ngl
Never noticed the difference between a single none legendary item swap that wasn't a weapon or shield
yes is sims highest
ty ๐
dont think so
catchup is bad
i'm more of a mayo fan myself
๐ณ
swapping covs shoulnd't be this punishing
dont swap then :^)
at 70 renown levels its unreasonable pretty mcuh
they either need to reward 3+ renown per quest
or something else drastic
IDK man "shadowlands has shit systems" is a brave stance
is there any other weapon mog that goes on the back like TF?
It's not one of the easiest tanks but most of doing keys well is knowing all the mobs and pulls etc
feels like S2 routes are much easier than S1
Routing is defo easier
are there different routes for ty/fort, and affixes?? or is it pretty much the same every week
But pwar is one of the more challenging tanks to play
Not enough testing yet
@modern brook WoD CM sword does this, in case you have that unlocked. I think a number of WoTLK weapons also sheathe on back
Pwar artifact raid skin also does
The one that looks like an axe
Sheaths on the pack
KT sword from Sanctum can as well, no?
Yea waiting for a reset kinda sucks
what makes you say this
can the dps pull slobberdong when they're pulled down during the xav fight?
thinking should i get a pikachu avatar ๐ค
leave pika avis for the one and only IMO
@strong forum
Because it just is?
Entirely proactive and not at all forgiving
Hello cat
How are you
Pretty good tbh, how's life
Oh I thought you were just being rude, my bad
But it's is pretty much agreed upon that pwar is on the harder side of the tank spectrum because our entire mitigation tool is built around reducing damage instead of healing it in any way.
So you're much more prone to dying to mistakes because you can't do anything to help yourself after the fact.
Aswell as a very involved rotation that revolves around using our resources effectively
In terms of wow ofc specs aren't hard hard, but in the grand scheme of wow things there are a few more things to do on a warrior to be performing "well enough"
the philosophy of prot hasnt changed, the spec has pretty much always been about proactive mitigation
and by nature that style is harder to play
like nome said, if you mess up, its very hard to come back
tfw only plate in raid group

Can you position KT for the tank ads any way?
or are they all spawning random
random in the set locations
the pillars?
pillars?
i think the set locations are something like this
and its random which three are used
thanks!
