Anyone wanna do an almost full warrior dungeon besides heals tonight lol

Sooo, Kyrian still best for keys? Kinda been wanting to do NF again
Should I craft Nature's fury for the memes?
it's the go-to legendary for ST damage pump
seismic is better for damage if you can meet its conditions
and reprisal is reprisal
tried to run mists 14 with no skip and NF and raid talents,
went as about expected, just, made the group and by time we were starting was already too late to kick lol
really don't enjoy playing without reprisal in keys
^
probably just a git gud, but still feels like doo doo without the shield block uptime
feels like shit but at least you're HARD PUMPING DAMAGE
i did a halls 15
with elysian might + booming voice build
man i pumped so hard, but i was too squishy
:D
๐
Kyrian since beginning ๐

Catch up is until what renown level
Is it up to 72 or u can catch up all the way to 74
you can get 74 with catchup yes, assuming youve done the 2 quests that give renown this week
the 1k anima and the "jailers efforts" quest in korthia
I have so far 7 levels
Fk I think I did those ....
Can I still get to 74
I have my 3 callings and 4 quest to do for story
But I can do heroics for levels
I just wanna get to 74
don't forget about the lvl 40 bosot when 9.1.5 comes out
you buy some item at 80 rk for 500g to get some either blue or boa item and its used once or consumed im not sure, but its instant 40 rk is short
Yeah I thought they had put that in the game already
Was not happy to find out i needed to grind rep on my shammy lol
i can't honestly see past november
maybe if its severly undercooked, but if it isn't cooked put it back in the god damn oven
i just trying to get into heroic raid with my alt paly. He is 227 not sure what ilevel required for tanks.. because no one wants paly tanks on heroic
nice!
well done
thank you ๐
Ayyy yomi :)
bloody javelins stack when used on bosses in necrotic wake yeah?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/JfD6jgT38ryP7nkZ/#fight=last&source=135&type=casts i suspect my shield block uptime was still not great? i am not sure how to read logs... so idk where to find that answer... but i think i see it being cast 6% of the time????
Just a quick guide of the few big things you should look at when reviewing logs as a prot warrior. Hopefully you find it useful :)
Get started with logging yourself - https://www.warcraftlogs.com/help/start
you only had 59% blocked hits with reprisal equipped. Thats not remotely enough, should have 80-85% blocked hits
you need to work on using your buttons more
More SS casts, More TC casts, more SB casts, more Charge/intervene casts
and you legit never used Condemn
your casts per minute was only around 40, when it should be around 60
Does anyone know why on mythic Sylvanas my blocked hits are so abysmally low (with Reprisal)? I know melees aren't really the relevant dmg intake on that encounter but it's weird how I often only have ~45% blocked melees while having pretty much 100% SB uptime while tanking. Are there any non-blockable abilities considered as melee on wcl?
didnt know you had youtube channel
I dont upload often but i do occasionally i may in 9.1.5 when i can mess around with covs more
Should have been recording my recnet run this week been pumping the damage
Venthyr when
Will be a boring vid i just wouldnt press condemn KEKW
do you guys say you turn dbm/bigwigs (other boss mods) off for the most part?
Hey guys, any of you got a WA that show how many stacks has Bron's calling?
i feel like a bunch of the noises coming from dbm are being too distracting possibly
weakaura home >new >template (top) > kyrian >bron's call to action
Yall track that ๐ฎ
he just comes and visits sometimes and i think pretends to attack things
i don't really mind eitherway
He can pull mobs if your doing a skip and hes up but just right click and he goes away
i did a 14 mists with no skip (i don't think hunter understood how) no NF for gates,buffs or respawn, hunter couldn't seem to pets 3rd mini
died like 2-3 times 2nd boss died once last boss, clown show
I had him break mah invis pot once or twice
next group i got in with for spires 13 was total chads
oops we pulled stairs group? we all got invis pots? yeh, nobody fucks up invis
I've seen that some tanks can solo tank Heroic Sylv at only 240-245ish gear. Is that something only specific tanks can do due to cheezing mechanics or can warriors do that too?
warriors have done so as well although it's probably quite a bit harder than doing it on dk
there's nothing really stopping you from doing it
Sylvanas doesn't melee, if you're seeing low blocked % of melees then it's from intermission adds (or dark sentinels in p1 if you charge in to hit them whilst not tanking)
252 Viscera vs 213 Matrix ๐ค this was a Heroic dung though that i just did for Calling
Defense matrix is pretty awesome
does anyone know if matrix sims are somewhat accurate?
idk what I wanna run between hc ows 246 phial and hc matrix for fate and kt myth tonight
or maybe I even need a defensive trinket for one of those? got 246 scale and 252 aegis too
Not accurate
239 Matrix does like 200-350 dps depending on lucky procs
Can't properly emulate it since it depends on dmg taken and the sim never makes you drop below 20% to proc matrix
I have seen my 239 matrix dealing 450k dps and healing overall as well
I didnโt think condemn was a button worth pushing while tanking. It feels more worthwhile to spend the rage on revenge or shield block (not that I spent it on shield block enough ๐) can you explain why itโs worth pushing?
you start using condemn on 3 or less targets and stop using revenge
its your strongest button if you can use it
especially on bosses should you use Condemn/Execute over Revenge as soon as you can use it
you only used Condemn 10 times in a dungeon when i myself used execute 70 times
and you can use Condemn twice as much as Execute...
Mine is also in this range
anyone have a nice WA or addon for tracking healing taken before death?
like a advanced recap or something
logs yeah
yall. 20% haste, crit heavy. 9%^vers. Should I socket/enchant haste or vers?
Haste
kinda want something in game to quickly look between wipes
my co-tank is a BDK, and he's getting ALOT more spothealing than me ๐ค
which is kinda sus
where on warcraftlogs can i look at healing taken tho
i can only find healing done
good lord i can't wait for account wide ignore
Hey, coming from a BDK I had a lot of cheese and cooldowns to use for Grand Proctor Beryllia. Whatโs the best rotation for dealing with the aoe and picking up the fewest orbs? Seems like I spell reflect one blast maybe?
spell reflect is 20% damage reduction for the initial hit and deflects the dot
that boss is a joke to us
yeah warrior is cracked on that boss
Yeah warrior is cracked on that boss
yeah warrior is cracked on that boss
yeah warrior is cracked on that boss
Hit the like but to and donโt forget to subscribe
I think Iโm at like 20% haste and 22% verse currently
Perfect! Thanks.
So how bad is having low vers. Cause I'm only at 9% my crit I think is too high. But honestly I don't know how to fix it. Since it's all my highest ilvl too
Too much haste, I rate it 3/10
after 40% you get taxed from 10 to 20% haste gains
so, most people here i see aim for around 25%-40% and then crit or versa depending
crit helps with parry which can proc free shield slams, which can be fantastic in n+ if you are better than i
You can see in details if you already have it
So I don't needa worry
You don't, no
Unless you're doing really high level content
Wear ilvl > haste and you'll be fine
If you somehow manage to hit 40% haste pre itf you can go for other stuff
Technically Dom Socket > iLvl > Haste
Oof, found a 248 prot warrior who was HARD carried to 2400
His is stacking crit/mastery
Has 0 vers and like 200 haste
Studmaster was his name oof
lmao
but crit can make you parry more so it's bettttterrrrr
i mean
that doesnt mean hes boosted
maybe hes just off speccing
carrying a tank to 2400 isnt easy
unless they are literally running 2 tanks to boost his io
like he gets carried as prot warrior with a real tank in the group
tbh off speccing as a tank is worse
We discussed it way after
He was telling me how avoiding damage with mastery/crit was the way to go
He was convinced that low haste and zero vers was the way to go
like. I off-spec as a tank for dk but then again... dk tanking can be really easy, the stats between unholy and blood are pretty similar and I haven't tanked anything over an 8
LMAO
he barely has dps io
I called out his awful DPS when he was talking shit on our alt runs DPS
his mindest is almost guaranteed to be "crit makes you parry more so it's better"
im also looking at his gear
he purposely upgraded slimy organ
holy shit
i always give people benefit of doubt and say "maybe thats just what drops"
but he purposely leveled crit mastery gear
nah bro
he's just a born gambler
you don't just "happen" to get a crappy trinket at 246.
Pretty sure he just ignored me when I told him to check this discord because he's a part of it
probs saw the stamina and was like "ooh that's tank stuff!!"
yeah thats what i mean
you cant get something dropped at 246
so he leveled crit mastery gear AND slimy
he claims surviability is so important that he has 0 vers
and only 1 dom socket..
does 1% crit give 1% parry
if so crit actually is better if you just dont press shield block
kek
since 1% vers is only 0.5% dr
and how much vers stat is 1% vers?
huh
i thought you are asking how many points it takes to get 1% of a stat
still tho, vers is better in aoe because you're not facing every single enemy most of the time
unless your tank route is dumb as hell
like.. literally the only type of tank I could see stacking crit as even an option is dk. even then you stack mastery for the healing and damage
Stacking crit isn't even the problem lol;
But low haste, zero vers and tons of mastery?>
no clue what mastery is for prot warrior. but if someone thinks stacking crit makes you take less damage then they're dumb
mastery is some dog shit
but technically crit could make you take less damage
its just not efficient
especially on prot
yeah
For Raiding I run 950 haste with OWS, 404 crit 593 vers and 277 mastery
For M+ I drop to 705 haste 709 vers 508 crit and 277 mastery
Also with OWS
OWS is good in m+?
because I know that dks switch off of it for m+ because of the uptime issue
It doesn't fall off much
hmm
Even at 80-120 haste it's worthwhile IMO
yeah lol
Its crit block
ohhh mastery makes you block more right?
then yeah stacking mastery would suuuuuck on prot warrior lmao
But gives less damage than crit
Yes it is but if i failed to mention it someone else would have so
This
I stack crit/haste and gear mostly for damage
wow lol
I stack haste then split crit/vers
Dont push keys just get CE every tier
but yeah, if I mained tank I would stack vers and haste/crit
You dont really ever find yourself in a position where stacking vers is going to save your life
The vers conversation is brought up almost daily and at this point the explanation should really just be pinned lmao
yeah, but still good to have a high amount of vers. especially if your mastery gives literally no damage or defensiveness cough cough prot paladin cough cough
Crits a better damage stat
yeah
Why go for a half measure
but like... they nerfed prot paladin's mastery so bad bro... like at just hitting max level it only gives 12/15% AP and 7% DR while in your conscrete... where vers does so much more
stacked mastery back in bfa, stacking vers now for paladins
Yeah but you dont ever need the added defense of vers
The small added defense of vers
I tyhought the 9.0.5 pally buffs made mastery much better>
it might have. but I know that it was horrible at the start so I dropped playing my pally
oh yeah shield of righteousness is more used for the damage than the armor lmao
now that they have holy power they use shield whenever they do damage and then spend that HP on the heal when things get dicey
tbh I stopped playing paladin because ret min-maxing was soooo boring and prot was starting to feel bad
nothing changes with taunt swapping in p1 of sylv on mythic right? just swap after every heartseeker?
Hello.
Sorry if this is covered, but I have a question about M+ builds. I forget all the names but could a booming voice thunderclap build be competitive, possibly with the ring that procs bladestorm/rampage?
nop
TC hurts like a wet napkin right now
even with Booming voice, unstoppable force etc. it wont do more damage than Revenge with BSV
Not to mention reprisal does a great deal for our damage but also defensively
thanks
Not to say you couldnt make it work if you wanted to. but it wouldnt be competitive
Hello, any tanks here that are good at reviewing logs? Our MT warrior is dying way too much and my concern is too much rage into Ignore pain, low shield block uptime and bad cd usage. If someone can pm me or you want me to just post here, please let me know.
im not asking to prot pala subchat since it wont be objective as much
whats up with prot pala dominance on high end keys? i thought pala is not that good tank but mostly world firsts made by a prot paladin nowadays
is meta switching
andybrew is just a beast
idk why he's playing pala but i think he's the only one in top groups
it's just that their team is kinda dominating high end keys xd
my prot pala main was telling me
prot pala so op that he plays it, get it now best tank is prot
im like bruh
i told him its probably about player skill, not class
you can link them here or dm me and i'll have a look
tank meta is very balanced rn, it's definitely about player skill not class
bear very good for routes planned around incarn but other than that I think every tank is kinda chilling
just look at top tanks in rio
litearlly every class is there
we're a bit further down cus we're lazy
top 100 had 98 dhs
still prot palas worst of them by far paired wit hbdk
its just weird
his command on twitch says he plays pala so his healer dont have to be sad about play shaman

Bdk's strong as fuck with the right player right now
he could probably play any tank and be doing the same thing rn
My guess hes a pala main or smth idk
Ya but his healer
Because its not an hpal
And you can only play rsham on those key levels if your tank is a paladin
ohhh
You need the dispells. sac and bop are also huge
why y ou can ''only play rsham
You can't, you need the externals for your group to live and the disease/poison dispel from paladin
The monk also helps with dispells
ah i see
watching them do stradama 29 is mental
every tick of that rain almost 1 shotting the whole group
On slyvanas p3 atm is there a consensus on blood v unholy for sylvanas as you lose alot of the blood effect on the fight
do you?
blood link is 100 yards iirc
blood is just better at equal rank so i'd stick to that
yeh
0 damage why would that be good smh my head
it's shadow damage so it's hidden 

๐คช
im not like other warriors hehe im totally wacky and silly
Quirky too
holds up spork
Me when someone asks me how to nod
I prefer a fpoon

made my prot warrior as a 15 key do-er with friends. tanked a 20 mist adn 21 dos yesterday lets goooooooo
never thought i would






The beehive
prot channel always so supportive 
Tank mentality
i'll always be dog shit at it, but it's something i enjoy when it works

Always think for yourself, independently
NEVER EVER GIVE UP
social media thrives on negativity and failure, it wants you to fail
always stay the course
what are you cunts depressed about
miss you... ๐
U never pick up my calls anymore
any pros wanna take some time and judge my logs?
like a mega quick obvious wrongs look
i understand protW is shittier atm, but i should be able to tank the adds on fate with SW, SB, LS AND spamming SB/IP right? (ilvl 249)
seems to me like youre tanking them without block up, that's what killed you in both wipe 3 and 4
^this, just checked wipe 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Pwar is absolutely not bad or "shittier" lol
in wipe 5 it seems you didn't taunt.
Prot War is legit
youre also not using wall or using it with lots of defensive up, if you feel like you cant have 100 % block uptime on the adds id probably save wall etc for those moments
thats what i've been doing, saving wall for adds
although like 6-7 first pulls we had tanks on prio list so i was doing runes some of these pulls
on pull 9 i had every single cd on exept rally, didnt get a single spotheal for idk 15 secs?
also using block when active tanking, i guess im not using intervene enough and could leap>charge for more uptime
but is it really these 3 seconds of SB that makes me die?
on pull 9 you took 3 unmitigated hits in 4 seconds before you died, which could have been easily mitigated by either an intervene or leap/charge
or a nice step back charge
yeah but like when im tanking adds i cant just make a run for it and charge, i charge back when we LOS for despair
could maybe leap>charge
In this case, would running the Wall+Bolster might be more helpful?
Doubtful
Am I wrong or is it ok to use Last Stand and Shield Wall at the same time?
Can't you intervene someone next to you for the SB?
is it worth running R4 wall over a R6 reprisal tho?
I mean power>Ilevel
you run leggos for the effect, not ilvl
The ranks don't matter, but wall + bolster nets you the same uptime on SW as with reprisal + am
So it's a net 0
I wouldnt use LS and SW together. Also, yes you can intervene next to someone to get SB
but if youre not utilizing reprisal it would surely be better
^ sort of what I was getting at
But theres always the 'git gud' approach, but I dont think his raid team would appreciate that ya know
I guess
also overall the BDK is getting more healing done by healers than the tank without a single healing ability
odd no?
That shouldnt matter
In my M+ group I just set focus on my NF Fury Warrior friend and intervene when he bursts hard
All tanks require about the same amount of HPS from their healers
and BDK also has Vamp Blood
so 30% stronger heals on him
i use a mouseover marco, i usually just hover raidframes or over the melee stack
Mine goes Mouseover First, Then Focus
I tried to make one that did Mouseover > Targettarget > Focus, but I can't find a way to make the macro skip the targettarget part if I'm the targettarget
I took the Intervene DR conduit... so I obviously intervened our hunter the most
I use that one because of the aforementioned Fury Warrior. It saves lives xD
Lives=saved
so to sum up
- USE INTERVENE U RETARD
- USE CHARGE U MONGO
and - press buttons faster?
whats ur advice when offtanking
do dam
use SB but always with 1 stack?
dont use sb when youre not tanking anything
Just spam Revenge when you arent tanking anything. If you are overcapping rage, then IP to help feed into AM
alright
When there's multiple targets, somethings usually tanked by your cotank, you can walk a few steps away from those mobs without moving your own too much (For example Sylvanas adds, Kyra&Signe)
we're progging Fate atm, moving them out of the pillar is gonna make me even more unpopular
i wouldnt, honestly. going from off tanking to tanking with 1 sb charge just puts you behind from the start
Yea, just aint worth it
costs rage, could just spend it on Revenge and do the same total amount of damage
except now, you arent wasting rage on blocking air
alright, we'll see wednesday
hopefully i get a few tries on the warr before they force me on my 244 DH with beyond trash trinkets
hopefully i get better trinkets before raid tho
thanks fellow supportive tanks
yes tank u
I came back wtf is wrong with me
addiction
I think I just needed a break, guild crumbling kinda taxes you emotionally or something
100%
Too bad im unpaid raid leader
๐
Should truly be a paid position

Weak.
says the man that resubbed for skyhold weekly
Did anyone catch that Prot warrior I ran into? Ilevel 248, 2400 Rio, stacking crit and mastery, 0 verse and like 200 haste. Telling me the goal of a prot warrior is to not die. His 2k dps on heroic eye was laughable. Even if he mitigates 1k more DPS, I do 2.5k dps more than him, which honestly is more of a gain than a healer would get throwing a few extra heals.
Smh we don't call ppl out here

now thats cringe
no to die and doesnt have haste smh
Hey our maintank left, coming from arms but got tank exp - I have to do the job now.
I got face slapped pretty hard by Sylvanas (progression HC). P1
Any advices there ?
Use defensives? If you can't give us something to work with we can't really help you ๐ฆ
how about we start with logs because its never gear
Em will be switched to the wall there
Okay, fine to post log here or rather direct message
Post here is fine
Okay gimme a sec
Remember to change language it's a German log. First evening there
Which prot warrior are you
Tvarr
Swap after every heartseeker and you should be omega fine
40 cpm
I mean, those are the kind of people that give pwar a bad rep
Happens
How do you have 2 warriors and no battle shout
Attempt 4, you died to heartseeker at 1:32. SW and Spell Reflect were still available.
He was so adamant that he was right. He left a group I was in due to low DPS, he was doing 1.7k DPS. I pointed him to this discord to offer help and he claims he's on here.
It's a shame because his belief is a tanks only job is to survive. Sure that is true especially for mythic raiding but there is a balance of damage taken in vs DPS. Most passive hots can keep you alive in heroic raiding while taking basic hits and those will be going out regardless. The difference between his DPS and mine is that of a Hpally in the raid. Like the difference between a Hpally doing zero DPS and a purple parsing damaging Hpally...

Woot
Okay so just get this heart seeker swapped correctly and we are golden ?!
Like, your dtps in p1 seems fine, idk why you get the feeling that you're dying
It's lower than my dtps
Hm well you do require 500-700 more ehrps than me
could be a communication error with healers, not putting up greater heal/over time before/after some ability
Ehrps? Sorry to ask
Okay yeah I feel healing is generally an issue in our raid
Your p1 lasted around 50% longer than mine but you both took almost twice the healing that I did
Hm cause we ate too much?
How much was overheal on that?
Ehrps doesn't count overhealing
8
P1 exclusively
Yeah your group dps is quite horrible, you are 17 people with 57k dps in p1
also, lots of loser deaths throughout the raid TBH
must feel like a scientist looking at microscopic particles slicing logs apart like a tax guy does, make sure nothing un-accounted for
Can we boil it down to:
- press more buttons
- P1 too long
- healing should be more coordinated
people just not staying alive
Taunt swap after every heartseeker combo
If you get the combo twice in a row, SW the 2nd heartseeker
and spell reflect
Use SR on it aswell
hard to stay alive on a wipe :/
you should be using spell reflect more
Prot Warriors when someone posts his logs
filtered; ignores deaths after 3
We are a supportive bunch ^^
o shid wth
Apes together strong!
im not a ape
Still strong tho
im a monkey
Okay, a monkey
Monke together strong
Scary stuff like what? ๐
๐งธ๐ช
they are druids and druids are furries, foxes are as well too, but i'd say less than a bear
Why would anyone go there? 'Tis a silly place..
People dog piling onto dumb fucking shit
Mmh reflect heart seeker more?
you know, thats the one class i'd never play besides for bear is druid, play since beginning of time warcraft, would/could never do druid seriously
Spell reflect gives 25% magic damage reduction for 6 seconds. Heartseeker does shadow damage
Good
Its also on a relatively low CD; 25 seconds
it's got 4 different specs with different talents and tons of animations and forms, we get it blizzard you like druids
Worth to reflecting big arrow?
spell reflect deflects a hit tho (not the dot application)
It is worth to reflect it
its usually worth to not just take a hit raw
and use appropriate abilities to mitagate total damage taken
Just in case you didn't allready know, here a handy sheet for Spell Reflect
https://tinyurl.com/ReflectGuide
Ty
Thats a good place to use it; The big thing is to just use it
I'd also recommend you to take Bounding Stride, the mobility is very useful in all stages of the fight
yea, Id default to bounding in raid just in general
whats a good cpm?
60+
Thanks for your help and reviewing the logs. Hopefully we get to p3 today
P3 is where the real fight starts!
Keep in mind that Sylvanas artificially lowers your CPM because there's so much downtime
Preach
During prog I was meme begging my raid to finally get it together so I can finally have mechanics to play
by mechanics, do you mean soaking puddles and asking for dispell?
That's more than the first two phases^^
more mechanics than dps have to do
in like, the whole raid
Do you go soak platform 4 in the start of p3 or platform 2 ?
So you dont need to soak puddles with arrow on you
You soak both
At least that's how we did it
Cotank started with Boss, I got Platform 4 asap, taunted for arrow and soaked Platform 2 with arrow
Yeah that's how we do it
Sometimes we send the rogue over but the rogue is selfish and wants to parse
Me grug, me only soak platform with arrow
Not better, different
next tier is ours 
venthyr prot pal is standard in raid
warrior just needs to scale 
It's only gonna get worse
If they don't do smth to our ST dmg
The gap is just gonna widen in raid dps
warrior scales with secondary stats 
I mean, they can always give us SOME effect that makes us busted, just as with every class
double legendary will be good for prot warrior 
You never know what they got cooking
Like, our hardest hitting ability is execute. Other than that shield slam which hits for wet noodles compared to keg smash, hammer of wrath or judgment
Keg smash crits for over 11k
Hammer of wrath crits for 30k
Shield slam? Eh 6k at best 
thunder clap still does like an auto attacks worth of dmg or what
:yeppers:
dealing no sylv p3 dmg, can't vacuum puddles, and most at risk of dying pog
I mean pwar in itself is fine, it's just real dumb fucking endboss design
Like literally removed 40% of our niche
yea in comparison at least m sire had some cool stuff for prot utility
P2 is ok conceptually but feels like itโs only there to make the fight 5 minutes longer or more
Do you guys clear puddles from the platform ahead of the one your on and how many do you usually get?
In p3*
Isk when the hardest part of the phase is staying awake and walking forward I'll say it's dumb af
Yeah I agree itโs a shit phase for sure but I think the concept of like fighting towards the platforms is kinda cool but poorly executed
anyone know what causes Sylv to cast random Haunting Wave instead of Ruin on the 5th platform in Phase2?
seems kinda bugged
or some weird phasing
(heroic btw)
5th one being the one right before her last?
Hey to skip some conduit swapping. Is tanking with pelagos a big ditch? In raid
Just less damage
Okay
Otherwise hes fine
Dont know exactly the numbers
but its less dps than mikanikos
Thanks will give it a shot
It's the 3rd one if you only count the ones with stuff on ๐
So after the first add pack
had that happen a few times, it's something with her spell q, so if you kill the last big add right as she would cast the wave, she's gonna tp first and then do the wave
she does waves from the sideline no?
yes on the bridge on the way over there?
like here?
but for us she did waves on the end of bridge 4 as well
where she usually just does Ruin
ahh i see now
i get what you mean
she is suppoed to do it behind before you run onto the bridge
right here i guess
yeah exactly sry, so that can bug if you kill the big adds at the wrong time
meaning we killed big adds too fast or too slow?
too fast
kinda surprised we didnt kill Sylv yet with my guild ๐
feels like we lacking DPS in Phase2
we barely get to the last Ruin before it goes off
and were like bunch of weeks in... that DPS check should be ez
Sounds like a dps problem. Maybe some waste spells or cds on wrong targets. But usually when i pug or go with my Guild, even with alts, we clear the p2 so that when sylv appears for ruin there is a dps already in range waiting for her
yea a lot of DPS are doing wonky movement, and literally wasting 30sec DPS because they get over the bridge too slow
Maybe you can optimise cds that are up. Or buffs like chaos bane. (try to go with 5-7 stacks into p2 transition)
So you have it ready to blast on sylv. And your warriors can take bounding stride and jump over a corner to get to sylvanas
not sure what you mean with Chaos Bane tho
The unholy set. Chaos bane. It stacks up from almost anything. But if you really dont do nothing during her rime (or whatever its challed when she pulls these huge dagers in p1) during her immunity you can just stand and refresh a stack of chaos bane before it runs out.
oh had no idea it was stack based
Getting multiple chaos bane procs on important dmg dealers + Venthyr pala when you blast sylvanas in p2 is a huge gain
but im using Blood set personally, because its lvl 5 as im Prot main ๐
Yeah. You are fine with blood set. But your dps could increase it.
When im arms. I mostly. Make it proc just right on time to blast sylvanas
the point where we missing dps though is the Adds before last burn phase P2
so cant rly do Chaos Bane there
Hmm. Usually the meele blast the aoe dmg. Arms, dh, retri, ect usually blast in p2. A nice warbreaker with ancient aftershock or spear of bastion deletes mobs and then you sweeping strike the 2 important mobs.
Warbreaker is almost always ready at the right time.
yea, every single time on the Add platform right before end, the Souljudge charges across the bridge, because the tanks are too slow
so we get everything killed
and then the Souljudge comes back over the bridge
with 50% hp left
whats the most effective way to force farm tower points for torghast
are both tanks not like first in line for crossing that bridge?
guess i should just start taunting the Souljudge when i arrive, even as arms
and just pop Retaliation
taunt parry
they are slow brother ๐
only thing i care about is how many tower points i can farm per hour
we have Pala Druid tank
are they pulling the adds towards jaina so they end close to the start of the next bridge?
no
i tried telling them that
because people go backwards when Darkness happens
and then get split from the rest
and are far from the bridge
im not allowed to tank though ๐ฆ
im no expert, but have everyone stack on summoner when darknesss pops pop druids roar and everyone runs forward
summ should be dead before dark
so its just big golem
might just take some more time of them working through it, and why not allowed to tank?
cus they alrdy have 2 tanks ๐
they dont wanna swap them out for 1 day of me being there
grats big dog
i kinda lost motivation at 2300
he didn't use his shield block, let this be a reminder, it could be you
kind of new here but quick question, in m+ is there ever a time you would use whirlwind over revenge?
no, not as of right now, there might be something with WW in 9.1.5? maybe i think i keep hearing about it? not really sure, only play on live
No
kk, tyvm
don't even keybind it
Press more revenj 
We need this with the revenge icon
Anyway, jk and congrats
Time to move up in the m+ world pog
i always pog ๐
for usre
i didnt play prot this week that much
im leveling a brewmaster monk so
i didnt even press that much shield block
xD
i have my run saved so i can replay it
whats the opinion on dragons roar in m+
Cute pfp
1st and 2nd pull in DoS weeks completely fuck me.
How should I choreograph CDs? Pretty much everything else is fine.
Lust the first platform
Morning folks. After your feedback to our logs we managed to almost reach p3 Sylvanas.
Anyone here who could take a look at our new logs? Especially tankwise
It's not a one man show, you should coordinate with your team as well. Trees, earth elemental, amz, stuns, interrupts, everything helps.
A lot of people struggle with those 2 pulls - but the reality is that it's not just a tank responsibility. A lot of things to be interrupted / soothed and with Raging people should also help you kite if needed.
All you can do is try to track the interrupts and SR when needed and plan your CD's (try not to blow them all in the first pull, rather kite). Another option is to just skip the 2nd pull and do it later once you have CD's up.
So you do first pull->Skip the "2nd big pull" on the right -> go to the third platform and do that etc.
Do you actually know what's killing you ?
The dangerous mobs in those 2 pulls are very obvious
Damage.
2 warlords and a deathspeaker

Those pulls are also really not as hard as they look , a big part of what might be killing you is you not realising mobs are raging
Idk how bad prot deals with those 2 pulls but on others (blood dk for instance) you can get away with very little if you realise what's hitting you hard
With that said , living is absolutely a tank responsability (^: , if you die it's more often than not your own fault
Something as small as turning your back to a raging warlord melee can kill you
like this?
Get in the habit of slowly moving in circles around mobs , but not too much that your dpses get griefed , reduces damage from melees quite a bit if there is some sort of slow on mobs which there likely is
watch back your keys and identify what's hurting you the most first is what I'd advise
See, that's usually the case but on some caster heavy pulls you WILL die if people don't interrupt (unless you kite which could be counted as "tank responsibility").
The pug scene is horrifying.
The casts that will kill you can interrupt yourself or reflect
It's just shadowcores
Yeah, sure.
Are you in range to interrupt it? Did you have to SR something else? etcetc
There's so many variables.
I agree that the majority of your survivability comes from yourself but some pulls are just horrifying in PuG's.
I mostly only pug as well.
And it's pretty horrible. ๐
It's really not
Maybe , I could also just be running into some god gamers that just carry me
But really just watch back the key
You could be doing some clown shit
I know I did
Well, my pug's usually do max 6k DPS overall and a total of like 2 interrupts per dungeon per player.

Idk man , up and down for me
Sometimes you get slimes sometimes you get people
It evens out
Pugging as a tank is a lot better than pugging on a dps or a healer
Because you have most of the control over the key
And over yourself which isn't always the case for a dps
Doing weeklies this week and had a prot warrior just godmode pack+boss on top after our healer dced
A lot of things you can do to make shit pulls easy
Trinkets for instance , scale and aegis are insane for hard pulls
Aegis even more so
Why are you explaining this to me? ๐
I know this.
I'm saying that there are some pulls that have a higher potential to go to shit depending on your DPS'ers.
This is why hekili is bis
It tells the person when it's time to kick
Even if the kick is meaningless
Why is it bis then?
It's crap then. ๐
It's better than no kicks
I don't care about some low damaging ability being kicked if this means your kick is on CD for a huge one.
i love seeing Valarjar explaining to a Valkyr โค๏ธ
I mean it's fine - everyone has different experiences/expectations etc..nothing to do with ranks.
but kicker of those 2 first pulls for me was just lusting 2nd pull
made it so much easier
(for me personally)
I usually just do the first pack->Go right and skip the 2nd pack. ๐
++, start from Ardenweald and go back.
i was in a grp with random druid tank
and he was like "we go normal route"
so we went hakkar-mecha-dealer
meant we could lust all 3 bosses ๐ค
theres like possibility of lusting 4 times if you lust on CD in DOS ๐ค
did dos20 yesterday, i BLd 2nd pull -> dealer -> millie -> platforms
so not hakkar? ๐ค
i usually do 2nd pull -> dealer -> hakkar
but my brain said "why are you losing 1 BL big boy ?"
yh with the nerf Hakkar is not so hard tbh
maybe with another tank and no reflect i would not ๐
ye Hakkar pretty decent with a warr who knows how to Shattering Throw
oops, forgot the extra damages on shield 
if you time it right, you can insta pop the shield with Shattering
ye because the shield starts low, and increases in strength
so if you just press Shattering when Blood Shield has like 1.2sec cast remaining
it will matchup, and insta pop
yes its around 1 sec
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
TOP adds in the Gorechop wing also make shield
Continue listing sir 
and some adds in NW
big boys on bridge nw
most important is Hakkar though ๐
need to try
yea, but also the 2nd pack on the right before first boss
can Shattering break the "Anime Recharge" ? @patent osprey
it won't break it on its own
but it'll do a significant damage to it to assist in breaking it
ah ye ok ๐
Are you back to Venthyr yet Plka?
nope I'm on vacation in hawaii
"back to" ? ๐ค
Oh, enjoy.
why would you go back to Venthyr ๐
chad move, being on Skyhold from Hawaii


So we can have inspiring discussions in Skyhold again regarding "Is Venthyr good? R1 Prot on RIO is Venthyr".
๐คฃ
i would think maybe Venthyr is decent for Tyran week? ๐ค for the ST dam
shattering can be used in top first boss when they get a shield
but would not recommend trying to shatter while getting slammed by dessia
u can shatter last boss of mists channel
I think I got most of them
hope that helps @primal cape
does it shatter or does it just do big dam
like it does hakkar
(unless you time it on hakkar)
just time it on hakkar
the higher the key, they all just do big dam
is fucking great feeling when the timing works out
ye so there no actual shatter per se
i dont think any boss has it like that right
ye
nothing actually shatters like in pvp
and yes on hakkar u can time it to shatter the bubble instantly
I need to do that on hakkar, good tip
I never try to time it, just do it for damage
didnt think of that
it does, im starting doing 21/22 and completing all 20, still want to improve and getting these lil tips ๐
skyhold is the best way to get da tip :)
prot channel best channel

i sometimes catch myself asking Arms questions here, because in the Arms channel you just get ignored ๐
and DK questions
every time i have generic dungeon questions, i ask them here ๐
Peak brew lounge was lit for that
people swapped to Prot Warr? 
Prolly still is idk
you dont
hey guys i want your insight regarding about logs
im still a fresh raw meat prot warrior with a casual raiding guild but i have been comparing parses between other people in the server
for example between me and some other dude
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/outland/hoppler is the dude he parsed 90 on a 5k dps
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/outland/thundrunn#difficulty=5 me 81 while im 2k damage higher than him
is there something wrong im doing?
mythic tarrague ? ๐ฎ
Pretty sure the main page you're checking is just keeping the "highest" you got at that point of time. If you check his logs date it's 15th of July which is months ago. People have gotten a lot more gear since then etc meaning the actual "parse" compared to current logs (if you click on his log) is 49.
this is my first time to be really serious on tanking especially this is my first time to be on a warrior class
Yeah, if you click on "The Tarragrue" on the left, you get all the parses for the boss and see that it's a 52 by today's parses
gotcha
thnx for the info
by the way, my raid leader is doing the echo tactic on the eye and i suppose to be tanking the right eye alone with a pocket healer and im getting chunked so hard at that phase while using my defensives
is that normal?
how many stacks do you get during the intermission ?
ยดยด
sry , yeah thats pretty normal
keep in mind that you can reflect piercing lense
Yeah, the eye adds get kinda nasty over time
what generally kills you are the overlaps with raidwide aoe dmg
Do you die though?
yeah once every couple of seconds after that im wide open for magic damage
yeah i dont die but i get the pod since im NF
let me see if i have the log
that would be helpful
here
im not familiar with this tactic since on my main dh with another guild we use the limit tactic which is alot easier i suppose
as a dps off course
you are playing with the offensive nightfae legendary if you are really concerned about dying play with the wall,
this will help you keep up your shield wall timing.
hmmm you think the shield wall legendary will help alot
i mean the main boss is not affecting me much its just the eye add is being an ass
i just went through some of my logs, but they look nearly identical in terms of cpm
so generally you should do fine
if you are out of personals and the dot is stacking too high call for a healer cd or let them be assigned to you
yeah i feel really comfortable with reprcussion talent than anger management due to the shield block extension
if you checked out the healer i think he might be at fault
if his healing on the low side
yeah healing throughput seems kinda low for a 4 man setup
the guys in my guild pump on average 7-10k on this fight
which healer was assigned to you ?
shanarah
Youโre wasting your time pressing block on the eyes
the adds i guess?
yep
They donโt melee and the lens is unblockable
or spell reflects
hmm i guess so
so just pump the rage elswhere
and remember to use healthstones you only used them in 4 out of 9 fights
they can also come in pretty handy
if things get tight
the same goes for your blood barrier trinket
alright thnks, i checked out pedicure casts on the boss fight and i can see he was spamming IP on the add and a spell reflect
these are just some small things, but overall they can make a difference
thnks dude appreciate it
Yeah no worries, we also wiped a ton on that fight
The intermissions can get pretty nasty
Guys
can you confirm to me if this week until reset thorghast is dropping our M+ bis ?
Repisal
*Reprisal
Just do tc3 runs
lul wtf is this ๐
anyone know if theres a way to double check this?
this literally cutting 1/3rd of our guilds raid wednesday
What's the problem? ๐
wdym? did you read the title? ๐
Yes..they are doing maintenance on "peak raid times" in EU?
๐คท
can i double check it somewhere on the battle.net website or some?
like fx here it seems its not there ๐ค
raid earlier then
cant
I mean..as far as i understood it's a 1 time thing?
still kinda weird, if this is gonna be the norm of scheduled maintenance
If it's going to be the norm then it's definitely a weird decision.
But so far we don't have any information if it's a one time thing or not.
see, thats the reaction i was looking for ๐
