that looks fine

better than mine ๐Ÿ˜„

#

i do 2khps self healling is that fine i know that warrior doesnt heal him self but that seems right?

teal swift
#

Spend more rage on ignore pain if youre finding yourself squishy

#

and less on revenge ๐Ÿ™‚

jagged pier
#

that wont save you

#

selfhealing means nothing

#

if your squishy in 15, the big things are not managing block correctly, not pressing buttons, not using defensives correctly

ionic fern
#

I did 2.9k in the mists +17 i did yesterda. ๐Ÿ‘€

ivory coral
#

Depends on the pull and how many cooldowns you commit, but hitting 5k hps is not unreasonable at that gear level. Not that it matters, more important to keep your shield block up and not let mobs hit you from behind.

ionic fern
#

But jeah - HPS means almost nothing for us.

fluid vector
#

will try my best

ionic fern
#

Do you have logs?

#

How's your SB up-time?

jagged pier
#

he said no

ionic fern
#

Oh.

jagged pier
#

i was about to say please log your next runs

ivory coral
#

use intervene for shield block uptime, if it drops you can shockwave and walk back a bit to charge back in, you can leap away and charge back in, etc

jagged pier
#

or give us char name u may have some

#

i find logs pugs have taken of runs

ionic fern
#

89 IP casts. THINK ABOUT THE DAMAGE I COULD HAVE DONE.

ill start logging now

whats the bis conduits for m+?

jagged pier
strong forum

Peck the chins

jagged pier

also should be said conduits make a very very small difference

pretty sure Nome and me have both done keys with arms conduits in at some point

I may or may not have done that

sick sentinel
#

Allright guys weird question
Lately i hear my dps is real high as prot warrior in 15/16 keys
I am 238 ilvl and do an everage of 5 to 6,5k dps depending on the dungeon
But i do not feel squishy at all

teal swift
#

That sounds about right

sick sentinel
#

Im not complaining about it but i hear this alot last week

teal swift
#

if youre not squishy at all

#

ignore pain less and revenge more

sick sentinel
#

I am al@ost not using ignore pain tbh

teal swift
#

ikr?

sick sentinel
#

But my dps seems allright then?

teal swift
#

yes

#

Consider pulling bigger

sick sentinel
#

Allright time to push it then :p

teal swift
#

if youre still not having any issues with survival

sick sentinel
#

Yeah was allready starting with that

teal swift
#

plka is a good resource

#

to find good pulls

anyone that can help me with necro soulbind for raid tanking? recently changed to tank for the guild. I cant rly find much online

winter spade
#

Check top players on warcraftlogs

cunning grail
#

cool thx

modern brook
#

something close to this

#

Actually this is probably smarter so you can swap to the haste buff thing in m+

#

@cunning grail

primal rain
#

Is ravager and demo shout always used together

modern brook
#

with booming voice yes

#

without it Demo is just a defensive

#

@ionic fern not that it matters to anyone anywhere, but the Icy veins Talent Guide's PVP talent section is out of date by an expansion and a half - It shouldnt reference adaptation anymore, Morale killer is stinky doodoo now that its only a 15s reduction, rebound is more pog.

primal rain
#

@cursor or @heavy mirage better for ravager

uneven river
#

cursor

#

you use it to pull sometimes

#

if you want multiple packs

robust rover
modern brook
#

ie: moving into a new pack

primal rain
#

So Ravager, then shout is fine?

uneven river
#

its all situational

modern brook
#

The exact order doesnt really matter

#

without BV they serve entirely seperate purposes

#

and your usage of them should not consider one another (although tbh it'll just be on cd again)

vocal geode
#

but I am the guy that plays a shit ton for 6 months then quit for 2 years

uneven river
#

not to mention if your kyrian spear of bastion lines up with it at times to

modern brook
#

Spear should Roughly line up with a 45s cd in keys, yeah

uneven river
#

the night fae one aswell i guess not played nf for a while

modern brook
#

I think the NF one is like

#

a weird ass 80s cd cause of the conduit

#

but should still be roughly every other,yeah

#

only dweebs play NF so i dont know the details tbh

uneven river
#

true

ivory coral
#

i did more damage playing with best served cold than booming voice, as kyrian. maybe I'm shit but I don't think booming voice is that strong even combined with spear. It also ruins it as a defensive cd since you want to press it for damage

modern brook
#

BSC does more damage with Reprisal in any aoe situation

#

you run BV in raid iirc

ivory coral
#

ah for raid it makes sense

uneven river
#

bv paired with elysian might if your not having issues survivin is huge

#

for aoe

jagged pier
#

its not as much as BSC seismic

modern brook

I think nom did testing with that

Its not as much as bsc seismic

uneven river
#

i use elysian in raid to sometimes its pretty solid

modern brook
#

em is fine

#

Its just not a lot of reason to run it

#

cause reprisal

jagged pier
#

its like not a dps increase over rep really unless u have a shit tone of crit

uneven river
#

i do

modern brook
#

yeah i mean the nice thing about em is that its value is totally measurable

#

casue you're only using it for damage

#

so you can just sim it against your rep

ah yeah tooltips are very epic and cool in this game

but apparently that trinket owns

modern brook

does it own for us

#

P sure our only "ranged" ability is heroic throw

sweet summit
#

@lucid pasture used it iirc

#

and it was doing damage competitive to sack i think

modern brook
#

I'll give that a fat weird

sweet summit
#

not sure if it has been hotfixed since then tho peepostudy

#

was a while ago

strong forum
#

But sack is better

#

Thunderclap apparently counts as ranged ability

sweet summit
#

ok that's epic

strong forum
#

So it can always proc stuff like that

modern brook
#

does revenge?

#

nevermind

strong forum
#

๐Ÿ idk

modern brook
#

tclap is baseline 8yds

#

which is probably why it procs ranged shit

teal swift
#

The range doesn't natter

#

On the ability

#

To classify it

#

As melee or ranged :kekw: in the drood discord mandl and panthea went I to it :)

teal swift
#

Tclap is a "ground effect"

#

So it procs random shit

modern brook
#

weird af

#

good to know i guess

teal swift
#

Yeah, lots to learn xD

lucid pasture
#

And ye it was like a bit worse than sack because thunderclap acted like a ranged ability for some reason

And dont think it was

broken stratus
#

Is adaptive armor better overall than show of force for damage??

strong forum

They're about equally worthless

But adaptive increases all dmg, so there's less potential loss of not TCing perfectly

Hello guys, my guild got KT last night so we will start progressing on mythic sylvanas. I was checking the logs and saw a couple of tanks using Dreamweaver for the cheat death Seed.
I am currently Kyrian with Bron, what is the best soulbind for progression ? I bet I should stay Kyrian Bron ?

#

I wish 9.1.5 was here so I could easily test it out.

P sure nf go Dreamweaver for the haste on aa

#

in the second boss of plaguefall, am i supposed to be doing anything other than taunting the adds? should i be dragging the boss to any of them in particular or just letting them group to me

#

sorry second boss of wake*

strong forum
#

make sure you get the crossbowmen in somehow, or bring the boss to them to cleave them down

#

same with the mages

#

those are the highest priority if youre not gonna CC them

viscid prairie
#

what i usually do is taunt the crossbowman and drag to one of the mages and assume the group will interrupt the second mage or cc it

sick sentinel
#

i always make mages a priority because its slightly more tricky to deal with magical damage and it can do all kinds of bullshit (magic casters in general)

#

less times they can cast their bullshit happier i am

#

you mean necrotic wake and not plaguefall correct?

#

2nd boss being dragon guy with skeleton adds mages and crossbows guys, probably melee add

primal cape
#

i usually taunt the warrior because hes the 1st one spawning and he likes to run

#

as im tanking him on a corner (usually next to goliath), archer and mage spawn at same place and i charge on them

#

then im trying to taunt the other mage or cc

chilly brook
#

Why taunt when you can heroic throw

blazing condor
#

if you pull him all the way into the corner where the goliath/tormentor is it should spawn neatly right around the boss

sick sentinel
#

for that boss i try to do charge on mage, interupt if possible, and then charge/leap to 2nd add, and then back to boss

#

perfect world both ranged interupts would get mages and you heroic throw onto mages go stack on xbow

well, if you are kyrian main and you go venthyr 2nd, then swap to NF get reknown tokens for NF and swap back to venth, you keep points for NF

Doing 15 keys okay as prot, but I am struggle bussing on best method for pathing. Anyone got tips for improvement?

blazing condor
#

as in routes?

#

My tip is to try and make your own routes but that may be hard if you dont know much. You can always take dratnos' routes from raider.io and look at those

dim token
#

Dratnos ๐Ÿ˜จ

#

My guildie used to copy his route but some of them didnโ€™t make much sense imo

gloomy cradle
#

Making your own is an excellent way to develop a good mental image of the dungeons though since your forced to pay attention to what each pack can do

#

Then use streams, dratnos to draw some inspiration

sick sentinel
#

Guys would like to have your opinion on my gear/stats
Like is or worth going seismic with this instead of reprisal

silk edge
#

Itโ€™s a good starting point if you need it but making them with streams and own xp is much better

#

If you dont plan on doing harder content then why not but anything else than farming iโ€™d stick with reprisal

sick sentinel
#

For now doing hc SoD probably myth soon and tanking 15/16 keys (still pugging healers )

modern brook
#

You go siemsic cause u want to top meters in Keys that don't matter

#

So if 15/16 are prog for you

#

Then no stay reprisal

#

If they're joke keys

#

Go siesmic

brave jetty
#

Even on meme keys I try to avoid Seismic on tyrannical weeks

#

It just feels too lame to me to get absolutely nothing out of my leggo on single target

Main meme key I can think of has to be necrotic wake

I wouldnโ€™t even consider thinking about any other option other then possible the wall under niche circumstances like mythic sylvanas until you learn the class inside and out and what hurts and what doesnโ€™t

#

I've thrown my fair share of nw 16s

The thing about nw is that if you miss a weapon usage (fuck it up on a boss and wipe) then the key is done

I am new to tanking and i get stuck at +11-13 keys. Probally not doing the routes the proper way. Amy tips or guys to follow on YouTube or twitch?

urban portal
#

is it the routes, your survival, or something else?

old siren
#

@urban portal i think 70 % route 30 % survival

urban portal
#

for routes you can just look some routes up

#

or get a guild tank to walk you through it if you know someone

#

if its survival then learn the rotations and such

hollow snow
old siren
#

@hollow snow mostly i get the bigger keys then mention done but always out of time , there is always 1 wipe or some one saying me to pull more. but if i pull more i dont have the feeling i can hold the agro from every one (specially the casters) and feel squisy

hollow snow
#

It sounds like itโ€™s more the rotation/defensive usage than the route. You could check out Plka (with an L) on YouTube. I also noticed that the dps in general are a lot worse at that range than when you get to 15s

urban portal
#

Yeah 11-13 is full of shitters

#

You don't do those because you want to

old siren
#

cool thanks guys

faint iron
#

If you feel the route is wierd have a look at mythic dungeon tool (addon) together with the route from raider.io (example https://raider.io/news/295-the-weekly-route-fortified-inspiring-grievous-and-tormented) that can be downloaded. Its a good starting point if you are unsure!

jagged pier
#

@old siren sounds like its a rotation issue if you are struggling in thos keys, yes 11-13 pugs suck but playing correctly you should be able to carry. Best advice i can give is get some logs or record yourself (make is unlisted) and post them here or just send them to me and I can look at whats going on and where the issues are

steel mist
#

@old siren if you follow pikatv on twitch there will be a link to his discord and he has some good routes that are pug friendly

# sick sentinel Guys would like to have your opinion on my gear/stats Like is or worth going se...

Try to pump your versa to min 20%. 7% is too low for high keys. You can do that with gems/enchants and optimised gear. Soulfrayer belt, better rings, like stichflesh and ritual bone band, those rings have shit tons of versa. Also you can try and get the pvp neck that has the best versa in the game but needs 2100 rating for the max rank one.
Trinkets are super good, for m+ you can go for double bubble trinkets, hakkar one and Aegis one. For the cloak try to get the one from PF, Blighted Margrave's Cloak its the best versa/haste cloak in the game along with the mythic one from Guardian. For hands I dont know if yours are from painsmith but those are the best ones and ofc shoulders from sylvanas!

#

And I think you are using The Wall legendary, that is ok for raiding but for m+ its better to get the Reprisal in Legs. Legs have more stats than cloak so with PF cloak and lege legs you will have a lot more stats. And you can use Reprisal lege for all content, its really great.

Equip a shield and use it instead of this jibber jabber about vers.

wanton panther
#

Its not jibber jabber but ok. This was my suggestion for Tolluck. By definition with 20% versa you take 10% less damage. I prefer to take 10% less damage and do less dps. Its all about if you want to help your healer or you want to see your big peepee in the meters.

blazing condor
#

bringing up vers in here is pretty dangerous

#

mostly because it's overhyped to no end

#

and your survival is 99% playstyle

wanton panther
#

I am sure all the big tanks that have 25% versa know something more than me.

blazing condor
#

and the situations where vers actually could matter - you dont find anyone here doing that content

wanton panther
blazing condor
#

i think people are just jaded in general over Vers as a buzzword

#

because people who praise vers dont know what they're talking about

#

not to say vers is bad

#

but its way overhyped

#

plka is running 13% vers right now and last patch you had nerf running 24s with like 7% vers

#

10% DR is nice but its not gonna be decisive to your survival

jagged pier
#

Plka was doing 24s and 25s this season in like 5% vers at the start

blazing condor
#

also that

wanton panther
#

yea but not everyone has the skills of Pika, or Naowh or any other big boy tank. As you guys said, skills matter not stats. So what happens if you are not that skilled ? You die ๐Ÿ™‚ So getting more versa helps you with that.

I started healing with my druid and I pugged a 15 key once with a warrior that had more versa than haste. His Occular even gave him versa. I am not saying that this is correct but the dude didnt take a single dmg, I wasnt healing him for minutes. He did 4-5 packs on forti and his health didnt drop below 90%.

jagged pier
#

Its a 15

#

U dont take damae in a 15

blazing condor
#

Problem is also that it promotes improper play

#

like playing with cheat deaths

wanton panther
#

yea but his ilvl was for a 15, he had 230 or something.

jagged pier
#

Great thats fine for 15s

#

I was doing 20s with around rhe same

#

And still taking very little damage because i was playing correctly

#

Like he probably was

wanton panther
#

For MDI and pushing for world first tank, yes go with 5% versa and 35% crit that's fine. But for casuals (like me ofc) getting versa benefits everyone.

#

I like to face tank, I dont like to kite, so I max my defensives and I face tank even on high keys as much as I can.

ivory coral
#

I face tank a lot in 23s with 8% vers

jagged pier
#

Proper play will help every far more than stats u are over valuing stats far too much

better to just pratice playing without training wheels

Hey guys, due to wow analyzer I miss a lot of thunderclaps - still got 80-90 logs.
How concerned should I in terms of clapping raid bosses.

jagged pier
#

Wow analyzer KEKW

strong forum
#

It's not up to date afaik, and you shouldn't really be concerned, it often counts even the slightest downtime as "time you should be using thunderclap"

#

Even when I had top 10 logs it told me "yo you ain't clapping enough bruh"

#

that being said

#

Getting 80-90 logs just means you are doing the basic rotation correctly

Most tanks have NO fucking idea how to press buttons

There are only so few situations where you prioritise using revenge

Mostly during ravager

As long as you don't cap rage, it's not wasted to press TC then revenge

Only when the fight is about to end and you can't throw in another revenge

Or in that case, execute

outta curiousity, are there any good resources for getting started with tanking M+? I'm tryin to do more than just heal / dps for once, and figured I'd re-gear my fury a bit for lols / coverage
