Sure, but having a rough sense of what's a fair and what's a regrettable outcome when you're new to it isn't an unreasonable thing

modern brook
#

So blocking 3% more melee means jack shit

#

My point is just thay

#

You don't want to get bogged in the details here

cinder roost
#

@granite mortar I can give you my tip for the 3 orbs spawn if you need some (for you or co-tank depending on who's in charge of it)

modern brook
#

Like effective uptime is important yes

sour nova
#

Oh sure, and I'm not fretting. I just appreciate goals by the same token.

modern brook
#

Which generally means pushing as much damage as you can

#

Metrics for "correct tanking" are generally good for when you're struggling and confused why you can't live through shit

#

But yeah

#

To answer you directly

#

With reprisal low to mid 90s is expected

sour nova
#

You're seeming a touch condescending atm. I saw a quick line about block percentage and happened to have looked through my logs from tonight a bit ago and just wanted some outside info on it.

#

Thank you for answering the question as asked.

modern brook
#

Just trying to set the right mind space

#

Apologies if it came off as condensending

sour nova
#

Haha sure, fair enough and all good. I came from disc priest before this, so I'm used to soft metrics of that sort, everyone live, used mana well, etc. Just wasn't sure on that specific. And obviously it would vary a lot on fight, so compare, etc.

#

But apologies if I was a bit harsh in response; it's been a long week. You're quite right that it's always worth focusing on the important binary goal first lol

inland raft
#

Healing is easier to quantify then tanking, tanking is very much a largely feelscraft role

balmy coral
#

I have a 233 Old Warriors Soul, 233 Viscera of Coalesced Hatred, 239 anima field emitter, 230 alchemy trinket, 220 SLG Trinket, which 2 for M+ and which 2 for raids

fringe marten
#

The alchemy and SLG trinket are almost the same thing, the uptime of the str buff divided vs 100% uptime makes it basically the same as the SLG 220

#

You want OWS all the time (between the choices you have) and then probably field emitter in raids, and alchemy ? in M+ or raid.

#

Also; if anyone wants to give me a hand I'm trying to make a 'normal' SoD skip run to try and get someone to trade me shoulders, or loot them myself~

20 fort is ouchie

this week is ouchie

#

15s for me for the rest of the week yep

Pretty sure I reflected a +19 HOA raging Wicked Bolt for ~70K

#

The bolt buff feels so unnecessary

jagged pier
#

did 30% of a death speakers hp yesterday in one reflect

#

Raging etherdivers in soa

jagged pier
#

just SR stack them

blazing condor
#

Thats what i meant

#

Big damaj

jagged pier
#

i mean on high fort they die to there first cast so they wont even rage

blazing condor
#

True but i can hope

#

Ium

rough egret
#

dida Mists 16 yesterday, mobs kinda slaps when enraged, i guess I should kite more

mental scarab
#

Nha stun so you can dps🤥

rough egret
#

I was doing good in mater of dps i think 15-20k burst every pack

#

OWS with hammer of genesys felt great 😄

blazing condor
#

Genesus 😳

median tulip
#

That pair of boughbreakers just before the first boss is vicious on Fort. Everything else is relatively straightforward.

blazing condor
#

Dps dont seem to know they enrage on 30% so instead of making sure they get soothed asap they just let it cast 4 times

#

But this mostly applies to the masks in Dos

jagged pier
#

i had 3 groups disband to DoS masks because ppl didnt sooth fast enough

#

so ppl get one shot by rage

#

Do you take ravager in keys now ir the thunderclap talent?

strong forum
#

For about a year now, yes

#

Ravager

past nebula
#

Yeah sorry haven’t played prot really since s4 of bfa 😅

strong forum
#

Ravager is huge rage on a short CD and good aoe dps

#

With a massive 40 throw range to engage packs

#

Nome when skyhold weekly key?

past nebula
#

Cool will try it tonight, did get slapped in the 15 top i did because of raging

We can go any day after 6pm tbh

#

sorry if this is too off topic but has anyone got any clips from the new painsmith intermission (no full wall)

zenith vigil
#

I know this is crazy but the only difference is that there's a gap

#

Actually idk, good question heh

#

now I'm second guessing my reading of the patch notes

near sundial
#

oh i know there is but the combo goes Far left Far right full wall - just trying to plan movement stuff for myself and guild

#

not sure if they shifted the previous 2 about etc

woven carbon
#

hi kyrian bros, what soulbind are you using, pelagos of mikanikos?

blazing condor
#

I use mika

#

Feels fine

strong forum
#

Mikan 100%

#

Pelagos is dead

blazing condor
#

No more blue balls

bright flax
#

Pelagos capstone might be cool but turning around for it isnt

jagged pier
#

well the capstones get upgraded with reknown

#

so miks just gunna get more busted

#

and bron gets buffed

fringe marten
#

Last week on tyrannical, the 4 pull of mages in HoA before second shard of halkias was fully terrifying. I guess..just can't do that this week as prot war?

blazing condor
#

Not an issue with us specifically

#

You just need people that can interrupt and cc properly

#

Thats always gonna be the thing in hoa

fringe marten
#

It's the buff to that bolt...like..it was an 18? tyran HOA..that's not a super tough key, and those mobs were just lasering my kneecaps off~

blazing condor
#

But 4 pull mages seems a bit messy as well

#

Its nothing wrong per se

#

Just requires good coordination

fringe marten
#

Yeah; but ...just not doing that pull in a pug, straight up..just the 2 at top of stairs then pulling up the Lt.

blazing condor
#

yeah dont do that in a pug

#

Wicked bolt do be hurtin doe

fringe marten
#

Was looking at pins for what shards to use in M+..is shard of Jas (+1.X% healing recieved, plus tiny max HP) really better than shard of zed? (proc life drain aura around yourself..for small amount) since it would be both AoE damage, and small healing as well?

nova surge
#

Is there a macro to auto target afflix "Explosive" and attack it? In forrums i read that blizzrd have dissable the macro for this, do they?

blazing condor
#

iirc you cant do that

#

But dunno if thats been reverted

#

Probably not

#

I just have different colored nameplates for them and manually target but thats me

fringe marten
#

Tankdozer if you use an addon like plater, something where it changes the color of nameplates if you have threat/other tank has threat/non tank has threat... when explosive pop they'll have the 'mob has no aggro/aggro on non tank' color so they stand out easily; and they VERY often are the first target that tab will pick up if you just point camera at it and hit tab. Remember that heroic throw will 1 tap them, and your group does need to be helping you kill them if you are doing normal pulls that 'pushes' dungeons quickly enough to time them.

#

Another huge tip is, you can LOS the explosion. We did a DoS with no fae player, no lust..and all 5 melee (paladin healer even) so like..awful group comp. Still did fairly large pull to the 'urn' in ardenweald, we would kill bombs and I'd LOS/Pull the pack around the big square pillar where urn is..so there's ways to deal with 'large' pulls where you don't even kill all the bombs if the geometry allows it.

#

Very short answer: Tabbing or literally clicking them is the easiest way to pick them up; blizzard went out of their way to make them difficult to target with macros/etc in Legion when M+/Explosive was debuted. (also the reason they're not able to be passively aoe'd)

blazing condor
#

I miss proccing VR off of them

fringe marten
#

don't even speak of that...makes my heart sad.

zealous spade
#

What are your thoughts about Reactive Defense Matrix? Is it any good, or just to luldps in lower keys, non progress raids?

jagged pier
#

its great for everythng

zealous spade
#

So is it worth to change from Kaelthas trinket + The Nine trinket to Kaelthas + Matrix?

jagged pier
#

u shouldnt be running kael trinket its dogshit

zealous spade
#

the revive trinket is not meta anymore in higher keys?

jagged pier
#

in 25s maybe

#

are u doing 25s?

fringe marten
#

It's still very good yes; if you're doing content challenging enough where you feel you'll be killed even if you're just playing properly and just get wombo'd outta' nowhere. That can be any level of key that you feel is that tough for you. But if your team is solid and you're playing well..it doesn't happen until quite nasty key levels..20+

#

Other than that, the matrix is a really solid damage and surviability gain; as it fully reflects the amount of damage listed on trinket; INCLUDING magic.

zealous spade
#

no, just 20-21 ones, it gives a little bit of a confidence boost, but I will try the matrix then, if it drops. Also, this week it might have better value than others

fringe marten
#

So you negate that amount of damage, and send it back at attacker...so just all around good.

zealous spade
#

lol that also negates not just gives it back, jesus im dumb, then I understand why is it good

#

okay, cheers

fringe marten
#

You can get a budget version of it from HM tazavesh in the form of the "codex of the first technique" and it has more value in heroic and mythic raiding than it does in M+, in keys the codex trinket is 'ok' but handily beaten by matrix.

zealous spade
#

Alright, so in the end the best combo right now is the nine trinket + matrix? Scale is so 2020?

fringe marten
#

And codex of first technique out performs defensive matrix in raid environment too (but it has to be a raid environment where you TAKE a solid amount of damage, so like..normal raid, and easy heroic fights you won't see it's value)

jagged pier
#

if u want dps trinkets for raid u run phial and sack

#

to be honest they are trinkets for the raid

#

havent found a use for a defensive trinket yet

fringe marten
#

Scale is still great but again; situations dictate it's power...the 'Annhylde's aegis" shines in situations where you intake high QUANTITY of small/er hits during it's duration. The Scale still sees use in some high keys where the tanks are tanking smaller nastier packs..but aegis will still often outperform it there too.

bright flax
#

Phial, sack, ows, might exist something else that also is really good offensively
Defensively you got aegis, scale both for same use cases, matrix fits the defensive list. Might have something more but those should be the shiny ones

fringe marten
#

Yeah because of simply how warrior works; we're very strong defensively against most raid bosses; because the 'mechanic' we usually deal with is a dot healed by someone else~ On mythic painsmith prog I'm using Fatescribe and or shard of alar (testing where I can get them to work) and ticking sack..just for the damage.

#

But that doesn't mean you 'have' those items. Hence why you can try stuff like tazavesh if you want/etc.

#

The codex of the first technique has the potential to outdamage all the other trinkets, and in many of our first kills clearing heroic..it did for me.

#

But it's not consistent like ticking sack/phial/etc. Sometimes it's bleh..somteimes it would be insane; and when it's insane..it's both damage AND damage prevention. Which is why it's still honestly quite solid.

jagged pier
#

aegis for 3+ targets

#

matrix covers all

fringe marten
#

Yeah if I had the matrix I'd likely bank my codex of first technique; it would just replace it as my "full turtle' trinket along with a cheat death trink.

mystic warren
#

Depends, even 3 and under aegis can be insane if there are heavy dots involved

jagged pier
#

yer like slyv its inasne

#

aegis is just insane for monk as well as it absorbs stagger

mystic warren
#

It does?

#

Fucking hell

jagged pier
#

yes

bright flax
#

Afe is also nice if you get to stand still. It procs a lot

fringe marten
#

Literally the only trinkets left to put in my toolbag that I simply can't touch are a season 2 Scale, then Defense Matrix and Salvaged Fusion Amplifier.

#

I've looted multiple IQD's, phials, a meathook..every other raid trinket, hell now I have a mythic Ocular gland? But Scale/ and guardian trinks will ABSOLUTELY not drop for me.

jagged pier
#

i have scale

#

and a normal aegis

fringe marten
#

Nice grats!

#

Yeah I have a normal aegis..and get a LOTTA mileage out of it.

zealous spade
#

Does Aegis also prevents frontal magic dmg or just physical?

fringe marten
#

but now with ? 3 or 4? mythic 9, and every week of normal/heroic 9..I can't get a heroic+ version of it.

mystic warren
#

I got heroic matrix and mythic aegis, but I just can't get a full plate blood setyep

fringe marten
#

It's all 'hits' period.

zealous spade
#

neat

mystic warren
#

Dots as well

#

Although I'm not sure if they need to be applied from the front

fringe marten
#

Same with Codex of first technique, Defense matrix..they 'reflect' any type of damage taken which is why they're so good.

mystic warren
#

Or if blizz is even advanced enough to track that

jagged pier
#

well u can use aegis to soak slyv pools for some reason

#

🤷

fringe marten
#

I doubt the aegis has a directional soak to it, I think that's just a nifty graphic~

jagged pier
#

i think if its melee or spells it does

fringe marten
#

welp let's just science this right now..i'm in korthia

#

Does not look like it; did it a few times with a couple of the elite little..tarragrue lookin' guys

#

let them just wail on my back with aegis active, then also the front..did it twice each test. Aegis registered no healing when they were striking my back

#

I wonder what would happen jakey if you 'backed' into those sylvanas puddles?

jagged pier
#

🤷

#

i ran phial and sack on her

zealous spade
#

Just one more question: does the matrix put a buff on you, like spell reflect which can be consumed by any hit or it only procs on hits? If its puts a buff a on you, does entering combat able to proc it?

fringe marten
#

yup me too; ticking sack overperforms I think..especially the more and more haste you get.

#

However when we get to myth sylvanas...maybe I'll have a heroic aegis by then? wishful thinking and I might use it to soak puddles LOL

#

Or run double shield wall ring? Just to be edgy

cyan onyx
#

So like how bad is venthyr for prot? Has anyone tried it out for a while? I just went prot for my guild and im hesitant to reroll covenants again

errant leaf
#

Venthyr for raid is fine i guess

zenith vigil
#

probably the worst but they're all close together-ish

#

has some tanky soulbinds

cyan onyx
#

Alrighty, so usable but not the best and I'll struggle with M+ basically?

#

(More so than NF/Kyrian)

jagged pier
#

venthyr shouldnt be holding u back in m+

errant leaf
#

It will be garbagio in m+ for sure

jagged pier
#

its not garbage

#

u just dont use condemn one 3+ targets

#

thats it

#

hey guys

#

o/

#

so, my raid lead asked me to step in and tank SoD HC yesterday since our other tank decided to not show up. I went to wowhead, checked the guide there and briefly mixed together my tank gear, checked conduits and talents and went in. After the raid was over, i noticed that while i was doing okay on the surviving part, i only had green logs.

I think the last time i tanked in a raid was in draenor or something, so its been a while.
Any ideas or tips on how to improve myself, should i be conscripted into doing it again?

smoky wave
#

🤷‍♂️ logs be dps, not what you're there for. If you survived you did what you needed to do well enough. Doing better at dps is just a nice bonus.

blazing condor
#

Luckily SoD is literally just taunt-swap

#

And if you know the bosses’ abilities

#

Its gucci

smoky wave
#

Aye, check you're not hitting IP too often and then hit revenge more. If you're using reprisal there's some gains to be had from maxing charge usage

devout heron
#

best anima powers?

zenith vigil
spring sierra
#

yeah, i just fucked up sylvannas

#

other than that, sod didnt seem very difficult as tank... i am much more pressured when playing fury, imho

zenith vigil
#

raid tanking is a snooze fest

smoky wave
#

Tanking raids is very different. Making a mistake can be the difference between wiping and succeeding, but past that it's very binary and largely what you do isn't that impactful.

Raid tanking is so boring peepostudy only pain smith is fun when you can jump and kill dps players

Mekanikos with booming voice is solid now in keys?

deft relic
#

how are some prot warriors doing over 6k dps in raids.. O_O thats nuts.. like for guardian of the first one.. some dude did 6.9k dps

blazing condor
#

Easy!

#

Step one: do taragrue

#

😎

deft relic
#

haha it wasnt on taragrue

smoky wave
#

Guessing a decent weapon and full dom sockets would help, past that no idea

look at this insanity XD

wanna see something cool

zenith vigil

#

"hey why are these people doing incredible?"

he's playing really well
rank 4 blood set
full damage lego/trinkets

zenith vigil
#

well, also that yeah but

#

dommy sockets KEKw

sweet summit
#

imean

#

its week 4? 5?

deft relic
#

yeah.. is rank 4 that far from rank 3?

sweet summit
#

30 cinders to go from 3 to 4 iirc

limpid anchor
#

that’s like 100dps per rank :)

#

Good system

deft relic
#

I mean in dmg. I tried running a rank 3 blood set and literally just dumped all the rage I can to dmg without every using ignore pain. it was too hard to even reach 5k.. my best was like 4.7k 😦

limpid anchor
#

Idk it’s also highly depended on your group

deft relic
#

I suppose you gotta have a pretty short kill time too yeah

jagged pier
#

i dunno i only have rank 3 blood set and was getting tops 10s and 20s on wednesday

#

press revenj more

limpid anchor

Revenge instead of ip!

make sure you have sinful enchantment on your weapon and phial @deft relic

deft relic
#

Is sinful a huge diff vs celestial?

unique shale
#

For ST yes

then learn how to snipe dps :b

#

use cds on adds with boss and spamm revenge then profit

#

yo guys, rerolled warrior yesterday, want to gear up as quick as possible for raid 8/10m´, but arms, so it s nf/kyrian and prot for gearing in m+. For all you guys, what feels better in m+, nf or kyrian? 19/20 range without much gear...any insights which you cant read in guides?

jagged pier
#

its literally your preference

unique shale
sick sentinel
#

so no convenant does significantly more dam or survability?

#

more convenient for m+`trash packs

unique shale

They are all equal

#

you can go venthyr and run tank soulbind and use dps lego

u run reprisal in thoughs lvls

yes reprisal for everything

yes, unironically

Question about running venthyr, do I still want to prioritize shield block over condemn or am I just spamming condemn through execute phases?

I have a tough time keeping threat in m+ does that get better with ilvl or is that a pretty standard warrior tank problem to have?

It’s just aoe. I feel like I’m missing an ability or something lol. Thunderclap every 5 seconds just doesn’t feel like enough. Even when rotated in with the other two aoe spells

limpid anchor
#

You should easily get and hold the aggro with 1 tc and revenge, unless you have a high st burster in the group, but then you just taunt once

And don’t forget, revenge > ip!

he is venthyr

but yea

craggy pilot
#

lul

sweet summit
#

ravager into a lot of revenges is more than enough

naw broooo, spear and AA is for the pump

craggy pilot

ye for the pump

I am a noob bear main so I’m used to having an aoe ability every gcd if I need to establish more threat

craggy pilot

but aggro wise

plush tendon
#

gotta pump that gas

craggy pilot

you only need to use it when emergency (if you have a hard time for aggro that is)

emergency aggro button is challenging shout

It’s on cd!

craggy pilot

Yes warrior too many buttons

craggy pilot
#

i used to use Spear for aggro early in S1 when i had a shit 1h

#

was my only worry about switching from Kyr to Venthyr back in S1, was having a hard time holding aggro without spear

plush tendon
#

pro tip to not losing aggro, just do more damage

#

EZ

craggy pilot
#

but it went fine after i got a decent 1h

limpid anchor
#

Ye but don’t you start with spear anyway

jagged pier
#

i havent had a problem all expansion

limpid anchor
#

Especially now you have spear up for every pull

plush tendon
#

Only times there are aggro issues are que in the NF Havoc DH on a pull bigger then 10

craggy pilot

i feel Warr currently is only Kyr/NF

#

Only had aggro problems with kyr bdk when a fury warrior was present in S1

Something about fury warriors back then was just insane

Having aggro issues if you play kyr or NF sounds insane to me unless your dps just full blast shit while you’re clearly still grouping it

Reprisal vs wall in raid; can someone simplify it for me? Just switched to raid tank instead of dps but I have both crafted

#

Wall if you need lots of shield walls reprisal if you don’t

Sylvanas Wall

I can get the odd DH or Monk ripping aggro and die but honestly they should know better to give another gcd

I feel like the arms warrior lego is pretty good for prot. Just makes a huge dps boost every 1.5 min

....are you running signit

dusky canopy
#

Out of curiosity has anyone figured out how much damage taken you would remove from yourself by simply being Highmountain Tuaren. I understand it's pretty irrelevant but just curious.. wowhead says "reduces damage taken by 330" is that literally every hit taken?? So it could be like 100k of value at the end of a dungeon?

jagged pier
#

its not a dps boost

nocturne sage
plush tendon
#

but yea thats a good way to get a good charge off

jagged pier
#

u can literally leap and charge back

or soul shape!

#

Kyrian though haha

#

or break the bosses ankles on a step back charge

I run reprisal on eye because I always end up tanking the valkyr until it dies...

#

do Legendary even matter in Raid?

cant you have 100% SB uptime since you only tank 50% of the time?

i tried normal raid, and never rly get to run out and Charge / Intervene as Prot 🤔

so Reprisal felt kinda wasted

u do

your just not looking for it

craggy pilot
#

i did when the other guy was tanking

errant dagger
#

really cant decide if i should go monk or warrior fml

but then the SB is wasted

#

you gotta be like a afflic lock snipping soulshards

Leap out while boss is on you and charge back just like in m+

except you're a Prot Warrior snipping charges

hmm, but the boss will move instant wont he?

Try to cast shield slam as much as possible

inland raft
#

Maintain shield block and cycle tour defensives when you anticipate heavy damage other then that just concentrate on pumping, make a goal of attempting to outdo a dps in overall, prob wont happen but aim for it

nocturne sage
#

Do I “bank” rage to save for sb or dump into revenge?

distant crystal
#

You sorta float, no need to completely dump it all usually

dusky canopy
#

If you play reprisal you pretty much never need to bank for sb

distant crystal
#

as long as you avoid capping you're good

nocturne sage
#

Okay, been using wall so maybe reprisal will help with that

bright flax
#

on EM for raid, it only really shines in sylvanas because of the burst dmg you get for P2 every plat
on KT it should line up with intermission adds but its a toin coss
on soulrender it seems like a good idea but you are forced to delay it and rarely take full value
On everything else is just average.
Overall you're simply better of with reprisal if you want damage

dusky canopy
#

I've tried wall plenty of times and I don't really care for it, reprisal game play is actually fun! Highly recommend

#

I hate to think about the fact that we lose reprisal in the future.. sadge

plush tendon
#

Reprisal is fun, but Its a terrible lego in design since nothing else really competes with it

nocturne sage
#

For raid talents, if I’m using reprisal should I go with bv or bsc?

plush tendon
#

Booming tends to do better in raid

blazing condor
#

If you can have consistant ad-cleave its worth to use bsc

#

But idk if any fights has that

#

Like SLG you could run BSC no prob

#

Maybe soulrender but i doubt it’s worth

dont think theres much stuff you can modify in TOP, maybe just stealth skip the first 2 packs and go straight to boss, and take them in the end while waiting for last boss to spawn

other than that i dont think theres much different stuff you can do 🤔

maybe a skip in Carnage?

You really think that or feel that way? I actually (most days) like playing my Prot War over Prot Pally. I dont feel like Prot War is that challenging? Are you willing to explain more? That being said my pocket healer would agree since we dont have near as much self healing abilities or options as a pally does, lol dumb dpsers...

Am is also a defensive option

Very very rarely are you ever in a situation where you need 100% block uptime

Fyi AM reduces the cool down by about half if your playing correctly

yea always

As Jay said, pwar is punished most by mistakes. If you play well a pwar is very easy to heal, but if you make mistakes its very easy to die.
If your healer says he has an easier time healing your Paladin then you might be doing mistakes or he doesn't know how to heal a prot warrior.

As I've said before that message "in the grand scheme of things" not a single tank is truly hard to play, but for beginners and less experienced players bdk and prot war are 100% the hardest tanks to pick up initially

id say the worse thing is that hes venthyr, and thats where he used his rage, so hes actually totally correct in his IP usage

since its a short boss, he spent most of his rage on condemning the boss instead of wasting it on IP, so he did the correct play

U just have to use it properly

The inner ring?

#

If its the inner ring you can use everything (in sequence on the 1st pull) then kill the seasonal mob before the 2nd big pull and most or all of your stuff will be back up.

this week i am just helping some guildies with ksm, nothing higher bedge

jagged pier
#

If u want a high key this week just do NW its easy

primal cape
#

had no problems with sd18, top18 or pf18, and kiting everything feel shitty

brisk sparrow
#

I am a bit of casual tank and mostly played druid... like one key a week and in bfa warrior tank basically had no downtime - so I am having a bit of problem wrapping my head around things tbh.

#

do I just always start to kite when SB is falling off?

#

and try to keep up IP at all times, not priotizing dmg as much? Bfa godmode and bear burned themselves into my head that badly^^

mellow bridge
#

yes unless you got something else rolling that covers the gaps

#

and no you dont really prio IP

#

unless youre doing really hard content

#

press more revenge instead

#

IP is mostly a rage dump to prevent overcapping on it or when youre taking heavy dmg to help a bit

mellow bridge
brisk sparrow
#

I am wasting quite a bit of rage, that is another thing to work on

mellow bridge
#

with proper reprisal usage your SB downtime should be pretty low tho

brisk sparrow
#

okay I see..so I also should do quite a bit of intervening and leap out - charge in and so on?

mellow bridge
#

yes

#

that's pretty much the entire point of the legendary

brisk sparrow
#

I really enjoy warrior tank, I just need to wrap my head around it again...I feel like you get bad habits as a bear tank 😄

mellow bridge
#

reprisal sounds harder to play than it actually is

#

charge into pack, use one of your SB charges to get the CD rolling

#

intervene whenever a melee is in a good position (dont intervene in a way that gets you hit in the back during it)

#

if youre playing double time you can look for a stun or a strong slow or w/e to walk out a bit and get another charge in

jagged pier
#

u should use both charges

brisk sparrow
#

I just feel like I miss out on charges mostly...since I tend to intervene melee and want to save the leap for kiting

jagged pier
#

then use reprisal to fill

#

that doesnt mean double stack

#

thats means use a charge

#

then use the next one

mellow bridge
#

you dont really need leap most of the time to get another charge in

brisk sparrow
#

I see...maybe randonmly intervening is a thing that got me to struggle aswell now that I think about it

#

getting hit in the back like that

#

thanks for the advice! I will try to increase my sb uptime and go for a run if I run out them 🙂

zenith vigil
#

You should also kite when mobs enrage this week

#

Kiting them is a fool's errand

#

So I missed the memo, Reprisal is the raid tank Lego now too?

sweet summit
#

ya

#

i recommend playing the wall on the eye and possibly sylvanas too tho

fossil plank
#

well at least my lvl 6 Th Wall isnt wasted then, damnikt

zenith vigil
#

I mean the wall will still get it done

#

Reprisal is just insane tho

fossil plank
#

Sorry for stupid questions, are you Intervening the other tank? or a melee? Can you still use charge weevoing?

sweet summit
#

a melee

#

and yes u charge weave

zenith vigil
#

I use boss casts

sweet summit
#

i guess intervening the other tank is fine if youre tanking and he is not

zenith vigil
#

To move away and charge in

#

oh you mean raid

jagged pier
zenith vigil
#

Yeah if you aren't supposed to tank his hits, I wouldn't intervene the other tank

#

You don't need shield block if you aren't being hit

sweet summit
#

fair

#

but also fuck charge weaving on the eye
the hitbox is giga fucked peepostudy

fossil plank
#

yeah, mostly trying to wrap my head around how to charge weave when tanking a raid boss

jagged pier
#

u can charge just before u taunt

zenith vigil
#

Especially if ur night fae and you have soul shape for movement

#

You can waste leap

#

Without being worried about mobility

jagged pier
#

u dont need leap for anything in raid?

#

🤔

zenith vigil
#

I member denathrius

jagged pier
#

okay are ppl still running CN?

#

because then that arugment is kind of pointless

#

and i ran rep on that fight as well

#

as u could just charge to all the adds

zenith vigil
#

Oh I was just kidding

#

But yeah you don't really need leap

blazing condor
#

I find using leap is fine asf to charge

hollow sun
#

lfr CN for legendaries sadge Why not adding them to Sod?

zenith vigil
#

because that would be too easy

blazing condor
#

They should let you buy them for anima from the same dudes that sold you weps/shields from CN

inland raft
#

Technically they do but you also need to farm grateful offerings

blazing condor
hollow sun
#

i have no clue of what grateful offerings do. I think i have 3 of them and i don't know how i got themdandy

sweet summit
#

i think u get them from the anima siphon thing no?

#

and like treasures

blazing condor
#

You do

#

And rares n shid

blissful pebble
#

if you are kyrian you can get 5 a day in under 1min doing the soul sort quest and a treasure both next to portals

blazing condor
#

Are the p3 platforms played out the same on sylvanas or is there different abilities at different times every platform?

sweet summit
#

its the same abilities, but not at the same time on each platform

#

wait

#

they're not played out at the same relative interval/order on each platform

#

i think that explains it better

blazing condor
#

yeah makes sense

#

Thanks princess

sweet summit
brisk sparrow
#

has details an option to see how much damage has been mitigated in a dungeon for example? Or would I have to run a log for that?

sweet summit
#

you'd need logs and possibly a calculator
i don't think there is anywhere you can see a summarized mitigation amount in logs

brisk sparrow
#

well it is not as much about the amount...more about the times I messed up and took a lot of huge hits in a row^^

sweet summit
#

oh yeah sure that's not bad
but ye you need logs for that

brisk sparrow
#

thank you! 🙂

#

also I was really panicking about explosives and realized, heroic throw is the tool of choice right? with devastator and running around to catch them...it got quite hectic xD

sweet summit
#

heroic throw can hard carry orbs not in melee

#

i usually just target the ones in melee and auto attack or shield slam

brisk sparrow
#

okay thanks again 🙂

#

Is the unholy or frost shard set any use to us while tanking? only asking because I cant get the damn chest to drop, I have all 9 shards and the Frost and Unholy set piece

jagged pier
#

unholys not bad

sweet summit
#

unholy is pretty good for damage

#

id just use rank 1 unholy gems

#

and try to get a plate stack for lfr with guildies or something

#

thats the play

plush tendon
#

Shard of Kyr is bis; after, its whatever

thorn remnant
#

Should I just suck it up and go Kyrian from Night fae (even though I'd just changed from Necro)?! Subjective opinions only please.

zenith vigil
#

no

#

both are pretty much equal
