What a meme

I didn't even see they did QOL changes to 2/4p

How is it?

sweet summit

very poggers

#

actually works now too

cinder nova
#

I kind of wish they changed the numbers for TC and SS separately.

e.g. increase the effectiveness of your next TC by 325% or your next SS by 200%

#

But I can't complain too much

#

My friend thinks it's gonna bring back stompy spec and I told him he's dumb

sweet summit
#

i wish

cinder nova
#

I can't imagine much besides fat buffs to TC or the associated talents/leggo could make that return

ionic fern

Buff TC/UF and it's back.

sweet summit

#

Is it me or does warrior feel middle of the road when it comes to ST/Cleave? It's not the best in either, but it's far from the worst in either as well.

#

Oh, did they change uhh... VDH set bonuses yet, or are they leaning into the "Spirit Bomb every GCD" sorta playstyle in M+?

strong forum
#

Not changed yet, but it will

#

90% of Sets are still broken/bugged

Warri is indeed middle of the road, but next patch might change that

Is it only me that feels like using Ignore Pain feels like putting a wet sock on your face, hoping that the mobs will stop hitting you?

lime urchin
#

no, because I use this handy macro for it:

#

#showtooltip ignore pain /cast revenge

strong forum
#

Its just a wet sock in a bushfire, does something, better than nothing, but it alone not gonna safe you

paper elbow
#

I mean, I have tried every tank class in m+ (>+15) and warriors tbf feels like the weakest by far (Haven't tried prot pally tho, and I really didn't like the play style of DH)

ionic fern
#

Then you're playing it wrong.

#

๐Ÿ‘€

#

Further proof is you asking about IP.

paper elbow
#

Must be that.. but I fail to see how.

strong forum
#

I can't really compare it to others as its the only thing I've played is pwar, but pwar takes a little more effort even on lower levels to perform well

paper elbow
#

the IP question was more directed to my historical knowledge from tanking when it first arrived, then it was the crรฉme de la crรฉme

ionic fern
#

Do you have logs?
Did you use CD's?
Did you do your priority list properly to generate enough rage?

strong forum
#

IP has been shit since 7.1

ionic fern
#

Did you keep SB up as much as possible?

#

Were you smacked in the back?

#

Was it magic damage/bleeds?

#

Did you SR?

Reprisal?

ionic fern
#

I can go on and on and on and on.

jagged pier
#

imagine thinking prot feels weak in 15s

strong forum
#

It depends jakey

jagged pier
#

i literally just press revenge in a 15

dawn canyon
#

Depends on familiarity

strong forum
#

Comparatively it might feel weak

#

But it defo shouldn't

paper elbow
#

The back smacking is never an issue, I've done enough content to be able to identify whenever I should use SB/Spell reflect.

dawn canyon
#

Logs then ratge

ionic fern
#

If you played the class properly and have adequate ilvl then i fail to see how Prot felt so bad for you.

#

๐Ÿ‘€

#

Then again "feels" is a very hard to pin-point measure

#

.:')

paper elbow
#

I mean yesterday I played with my Prot warrior, trying out +18-19, I was sweating every moment of it. (ilvl around 250).
Then tried +20 on my 243 guardian druid, went smooth af

strong forum
#

Hm

ionic fern
#

Ok, then you played wrong.

#

Sorry.

#

Do you have logs?

strong forum
#

We've done 17s with a group of 5 prots

And it was omega free

strong forum
#

Like you shouldn't sweat on 18-19s

dawn canyon
#

In my headcannon mwahi is a cloud like nomeraturokayge

paper elbow
#

I mean I mained prot around wotlk -> cata, dropped it mid-cata, played a few m+ during legion and BFA as prot but not climbing.

ionic fern
#

It's hard to pinpoint what went wrong for you without any logs/videos tho..if you're looking to improve as Prot be sure to log a run and we can take a look.

#

But all i can say is that in m+ when played properly (especially in the range of keys you are doing) any tank is free.

paper elbow
#

I will keep that in mind ^^
I'll try a different build today I guess.
Give reprisal a better chance, been running The Wall most of my m+'s

ionic fern

Reprisal is godlike.

Cuz like imagine most of people, they get your experience by playing the wrong stuff, and then blame the class and deem it unplayable

Hello.
I am a holy paladin and a good friend of mine plays Prot Warrior, and we seem to have troubles pushing keys.
I noticed a few things - he gets absolutely clapped on pulls, and he gets to a point where he has no big CDs very fast.
I've played with plenty of prot warriors and usually don't have this issue, but we can't work out what he's doing wrong.
Notable things I can tell off the bat (from a healer standpoint) -
He has no shards (7/10 heroic), lowish versatility (19%), has trouble kiting mobs sometimes

strong forum
#

Vers doesn't matter

lethal tendon
#

Unfortunate I don't have logs of anything

ionic fern
#

Clapped on pull screams NO REPRISAL.

lethal tendon
#

But I'd like some pointers of what I, as a healer, need to keep note of

paper elbow
#

ANOTHER NO REPRISAL KING?

jagged pier
#

getting clapped on pulls screams playing incorrectly

#

19% lowish

Need to keep note if he keeps up block, plays reprisal, and does atleast 6k dps overall

we can only really help with logs or gameplay

ionic fern
#

Do you know what talents/legendaries he is running?

#

Or Covenant?

lethal tendon
#

He is Kyrian but I suggested he try NF

ionic fern
#

Kyrian is fine.

dawn canyon
#

Kyrian is good

ionic fern
#

Just check talents/Legendaries and let us know-

dawn canyon
#

Phial ratge

lethal tendon
#

One second

ionic fern
#

Oh, and if he has raid logs that will probably also help us analyse his play.

dawn canyon
#

Raid logs are somewhat different

#

Since you have downtime on bosses

ionic fern
#

It doesn't matter.

jagged pier
#

u can still see poor play in them

ionic fern
#

You can still see if he's using the correct things.

#

True

#

Ugh I found him on raider io but it doesn't say the name of the legendary

lethal tendon
#

Charge and Intervene grant you Shield Block for 4 sec, Revenge!, and generate 20 Rage. (100ms cooldown)

ionic fern
#

That's correct.

#

Reprisal.

lethal tendon
#

He is Kyrian all the time

#

I will do a key tonight and log it

jagged pier
#

from logs i can find

#

hes running bolster in keys

ionic fern
#

TC higher than Revenge

lethal tendon
ionic fern
#

Hello

ionic fern
#

Sub-optimal one when running Reprisal.

lethal tendon
jagged pier
#

from the log im looking at 72% blocked hits with rep and bolster

ionic fern
#

If he's going for extra SB up-time with Reprisal he should use HR.

#

Otherwise play AM.

#

72% is horribly low if he had both.

#

That's even sub Reprisal level.

jagged pier

#

Do you see the date?

jagged pier

wasted 800 rage

lethal tendon
#

Ok so how do I manage this

lethal tendon
#

I think that's an old log tbh

strong forum
#

Tell him to pay more attention to his rotation

ionic fern
#

You tell him
"Hey buddy, are you in the Skyhold discord"?

jagged pier
#

they're old doesnt mean hes changed

strong forum
#

That's what his log looks like

#

This is how it should look like

#

With a little less emphasis on revenge

#

But you see the differences

ionic fern
#

I found something from 26th November..65% blocked hits.

#

Still Bolster.

#

Still TC higher than Revenge

jagged pier
#

yer i just found that

paper elbow
#

So IP isn't as high of a priority as I imagined??

jagged pier
#

he wasted 1000 rage that run

ionic fern
jagged pier
strong forum
#

Very low priority

ionic fern
#

Well..you DO..treat IP as a off GCD rage dump to avoid rage capping.

#

#

Blocked hits should look somewhat like this

lethal tendon
#

I assume he got better now, but if you guys say that matches what I wrote then it's probably not that much different

ionic fern
lethal tendon
#

He is

ionic fern
#

I'd honestly suggest he come here.

jagged pier
#

hes not changed from the logs

strong forum
#

Also should stop playing bolster

ionic fern
#

^

#

So currently it looks like suboptimal talents + play.

lethal tendon
#

Ok it seems like there are lots of issues according to you guys

#

So I will have to send him here eventually

strong forum
#

It's not alot of seperate issues, it's mostly the same thing

#

Just press more buttons

#

All of them

#

Just more

#

Except IP

jagged pier
#

in that spires where he got 65% blocked hits hes running bolster and uses LS 11 times in like 40 mins

ionic fern
#

AND 14 Intervenes

#

In 37 minutes.

jagged pier
lethal tendon
#

Now he intervenes all the time tbh

ionic fern
#

Good.

#

Log a run.

#

And let him come here.

lethal tendon
#

Like he intervenes me when I have bop on me ๐Ÿ˜‚

ionic fern
#

We Intervene for extra Rage/SB up-time.

#

Not to save others.

lethal tendon
#

But I'll have to log

lethal tendon
ionic fern
#

Hmm

#

Thinking about it.

#

If he's Revenge is so low..

#

Does this mean...

DINGDINGDINGDING

Oof

About 40% too much ignore pain usage

Oh

#

Unbezรคhmbar and IP should be around the same healing done, Indom can also beat IP even

jagged pier
#

i mean u can see it in the comparson nome linked

#

he has about 100 more casts of IP

ionic fern

I will give him a slight rest in that since it was a SoA but that's still wayyyy too much IP.

Ok so

A bit higher thunderclap usage but ah well

ionic fern

That was mine , also a few months ago.

Revenge is just a DPS button, right?

ionic fern
#

It is THE dps button.

lethal tendon
#

Ok ok

jagged pier
lethal tendon
#

I mean that's just a rotational issue I guess

strong forum
#

It's also a defensive in a way

#

Because it resets shield slam

Which is rage gen

lethal tendon
#

But he still gets clapped

lethal tendon
strong forum
#

And rage gen is good

It has a chance to RESET it.

I think they're pretty old, yeah

I thought I was just not managing him properly, I've had prot warriors get trashed

ionic fern

I saved you the trouble of asking.

lethal tendon
#

I will do it @ionic fern

blazing condor
#

Understandable

lethal tendon
#

Thanks for the tips guys, I will go and scold him

#

But to sum things up for when we game tonight:
Press more revenge
Don't take bolster

#

And logs, of course

#

And press more buttons overall kekw

jagged pier
#

no he has to pay more attention bolster is suboptimal but he really need better blocked hits which he has to 1 pay more attention to the buff and to use bolster or HR to help keep the buff up if he need them but he shouldnt with proper management

ionic fern
blazing condor
#

If there's a net dps gain/loss from keeping SB up in ST scenarios where you don't actively mitigate damage (off-tanking). Is the GCD loss/rage loss still worth the extra SS damej

jagged pier
#

u talking riad?

blazing condor
#

ye

jagged pier
#

so optimal way us to use your SB charge for dps off tanking, so when u pick up the boss again the 2 charge is just off cd so u have 2 charges

#

if that makes sense

blazing condor
#

sorry im tired asf

#

no gcd loss

strong forum
#

The rage spent on SB is worth it if you can fit 2 or more SS in the SB window

#

To beat out revenge dmg

#

iirc

#

With 1 SS in the SB window I believe its a slight loss in damage per rage

blazing condor
#

thank you for the answers

I agree you here. So dumb when i rerolled and canโ€™t collect same amount of Ember as my main

i have like

a fuckton of embers on main

but cant spend it

so why not let me send it

to and alt

#

????

pallid musk
#

Good point. I rather free drop for everyone in 9.1.5 since raid tier is over and help the guild who is left to full their roster with critial roles

#

But Ember drop system is the the barrier to make me a good player and have a chance catch up

lime urchin
#

What are these embers you speak of

vocal geode

like they have catchup for everything else rn

why not just make embers

I am not clearing hc or anything on my main because they arent worth anything after getting all r5 sets

scale only beats aegis on bosses that dont do alot of dot dmg

waxen orbit

Yea

acoustic willow

my other options are Decanter, anima field, gland. Should I double on use?

waxen orbit
#

Which decanter

strong forum
#

gland

acoustic willow
#

raid decanter crit with proc/heal

waxen orbit
#

Gland goes null if your health falls below 50% so that's dependent on key level

strong forum
#

youre rarely ever below 50%

#

gland is like 95% uptime

distant crystal
#

just need a weakaura that does /yell ONE HEAL PLZ when you have the negative ocular buff

acoustic willow
#

Yeah I dint love gland since I PUG a lot

waxen orbit
#

What key level and how many pugs

#

That can be a genuine variable with gland

then just anima field

decanter is only decent if you have alot of crit

Any sense that nfae might overtake kyr in 9.2? I'm just Lvlng my warrior trying to decide

#

I have a hunch was wondering if you heard anything

dawn canyon
#

either is good

waxen vale
#

Aftershock seems way cooler but I feel like you might miss the Phial a lot as a mplus tank

distant crystal
#

phial should cool down in combat change my mind

waxen vale
#

It doesn't?

distant crystal
#

It behaves like potions used to work before shadowlands

#

it doesn't start cooling down until you drop combat

waxen vale
#

Wtf

#

But then whej you reenter combat?

distant crystal
#

it'll keep cooling down

waxen vale
#

Ah

#

That must be a hug

#

Bug

distant crystal
#

Really only an issue for long boss fights

#

idk been like that since launch

waxen vale
#

I'm about to search spec leadervoards to see what cov

#

I figure you want to max both and swap depending on the week

#

For this spec

urban portal
#

Yeah you go max

#

For every tank you should have kyrian maxed

#

Just for bad weeks

#

Even dk can go kyrian

waxen vale
#

So max kyr first ig

urban portal
#

But anyways having spear for every avatar is great

#

You don't have avatar for every AA

waxen vale
#

Yarre

#

There's also like no dungeon utility as fae

#

There's always a fae dps

urban portal
#

I've had dungs without a fae

#

A lot less classes are fae now

strong forum
#

Health potions can only be used once per combat

#

And phial is a healthpotion

#

So the CD only starts cooling down after you left combat once

#

Same as healthstones

#

Only once per combat

distant crystal
#

health potions can be used many times per combat

#

not healthstones tho

#

and i hate it!

#

but you can just die and get rezzed, boom your healthstone and phial are both cooling down

urban portal
#

yeah i dont see why phial/pots dont cooldown

#

healthstone i kind of understand because its a 1 minute cd

#

but its not like warlock is very insane in m+

blazing condor
#

Problem with phial in my experience is that the time it takes after combat for it to go on CD is too long

#

So sometimes you just end up pulling through half the dungeon and realize you never got it back

distant crystal
#

oh i never really paid attention

#

wth why is healthstone a 1min cooldown lol

blazing condor
#

Otherwise you get hole in your teeth

west walrus
#

Health potiond, like combat and utilities potions can be use every 5 minutes

#

Healthstone and kyrian pots start cooling down when out of combat

dawn canyon
#

It's so annoying

#

Does the 200% effective TC from tier set have the slow component included? or only damage and rage

west walrus
#

The true question is why do you play dps ?detective

west walrus
#

20% without outburst

#

Hmm nvm, 50% with talent

#

Seems like just a "+20% bonus"

strong forum
#

The slow is wonky as shit

#

Makes no sense how you put it

#

The talent just gives +10%

#

And they somehow made the slow effectiveness only increase by 100%, gotta love blizz tooltips

distant crystal
#

better go duel someone and check their actual movespeed

west walrus
#

I did not test directly

distant crystal
#

tooltip might just be jacked

west walrus
#

I'd have to check true mobs speed

#

Sometimes I wonder if there is a QA at Blizzard

blazing condor
#

Too TC for comfort

#

I will simply just use shield slam

west walrus
#

What I hate with this set : we already have many things to look at, choosing either survivability or damage. And they add a buff to track which demands us to hold gameplay

#

Hold... as a prot warrior !

#

I miss Legion gameplay :')

blazing condor
#

I miss whatever it was that made it all bearable

west walrus
#

Quick test, with talent it is really 50% movement speed reduction

From 115 to 58 (I guess 57.5)

Does anybody know how to pull varruth from ardenweald's hallway?

west walrus
#

Do you mean mechagon?

#

Heroic throw, and hide behind the pillar

#

Don't bother about the drill, there is no social aggro

sick sentinel
#

Hmmmm wonder how that happened

blazing condor
#

i think it's because they fired 800 quality assurance workers back in BFA

drifting oasis
#

hmmm I prefer SL to BFA, I think BFA has been the worst expansdion so far

blazing condor
#

BFA had a bunch of bad systems imo but it had a way better world and feel

#

dungeons were also way better

#

i liked the whole zuldazar / kul tiras thing

drifting oasis
#

yeah, that's a good way of putting it

#

waycrest manor was great, loved the HP Lovecraft feel to it

#

but the mechanics they introduced was so over-elaborate i just couldn't be bothered with it

blazing condor
#

BFA also had things that could've been good on paper but was shit. Islands and warfronts had good potential. But putting a "beat the timer" thing on islands kinda defeated the feeling of wanting to explore and do quests, tied with the AP grind needed as well.

#

and warfronts was just afk and you still won and no cool pvp versions etc

#

i only really played 8.0 and 8.2 though so this is just my opinions without the best basis

sick sentinel
#

For alot of bfa I had a privileged seat, run guild with 2 other idiots just as dumb as me, could use gbank as my own bank get consumables made for just the mats

#

But I did think bfa was very good

#

There was parts of it I hated sure can't think of those off hand, I feel like it did alot right though, there was always an activity you could be doing at any time with islands or warfronts

brittle owl
sick sentinel
#

i remember tons of rage in voice comms when people fucked up on the troll totem boss AD

brittle owl
#

people were saying the exact same thing about legion while in bfa

sick sentinel
#

cuz, you had the totem mechanic and you had the interupt + perma blots

#

so it was a VERY hard boss for lots of ppl

brittle owl
#

healer power relative to health pools increases as patches go on

#

and usually you spend the most time in an expac when healer power is relatively the highest

sick sentinel
#

i remember some groups would just straight up leave if you fucked up first attempt of kill all 3 totems at same time

#

they wouldn't even wait for the wipe just leave

brittle owl
#

KR had a very tight timer

#

in a conservative run if you fucked up council boss the key was bricked

sick sentinel
#

we always had a DK with us, so, he would just MC the undead goop guy, make that dungeon way too easy

#

the only way you fuck up council is if you don't know a single mechanic, axe is tricky but a monkey can do it

#

stand out of cloud when it shows up, wait, fall back in on the boss

#

the interupt on the other guy is like 150 seconds long, and the aoe doesn't hit full room

#

tons and tons of ways to survive the charge, even solo, his melee enrage hurt

cinder storm
#

Would it be a toy maybe?

safe thistle
#

definately gonna raid as necrolord and m+ as kyrian

strong forum
#

The pally sacs the monk, the monk needs to take dmg from say a campfire, or a misfired nitro boost from engineering

#

And then the monk needs to target whatever they want to pull

#

That's as far as I know, but idk if the monk needs to press smth aswell like dampen magic to reflect dmg onto the target or smth

dawn canyon
#

It also works with dh

#

Since it's the application of the debuff that pulls

#

How you apply it idk

blazing condor
#

What did they do

#

My vod fucked so couldnt see

distant crystal
#

links to timestamps don't embed to the timestamp in discord

#

but i ffwd to 5h38m17s and saw nothing

#

they were running the gauntlet room going into ardenweald

mellow bridge
#

they tried to snap executioner

#

but fucked it up

blazing condor
#

Ah fair

mellow bridge
#

there's a potion or smth that makes you take increased fire dmg iirc

#

they take that in addition to the campfire

#

because else the dmg isnt high enough

#

probably cuz of random absorbs like kyr

#

it's real fucking lame and should be removed asap tho tbh

blazing condor
#

Do tormentors de-aggro?

mellow bridge
#

wdym?

blazing condor
#

Or are they just slow

#

Aka if you pull it will it run indefinitely at you

jagged pier
mellow bridge
#

uh yeah i think so

#

but at that distance it just snaps pretty sure

blazing condor
#

I assume you cant just MD it

sick sentinel
#

i sort of feel like snapping goes agianst the rules of the game :S

#

makes things that should be harder very simple

mellow bridge
#

I dont mind the snapping as it was in BFA

#

like snapping all the small dinos in AD etc

#

but snapping stuff around the whole dungeon or pulling the last boss in HoA with the monk trick to skip last boss

#

that's just lame

I loved snapping

But yeah the SL tricks are omega lame

I liked bfa snapping

and then pillar to boss

i did first boss of ML as hunter one time and i fucking hate that guy now

pulling like 4-5 robots at the start tho

and not dying to those

for abilities like that you just wanna stand closer to the boss

fuuuuacck lol

since it's a cone

that way you have to move less

it was more the fact that he chose me and i had to avoid it

the one where you have to manage interupts correcly and melee not die to cleave

strong forum

hated that boss

so much

#

it was so fucking cancer

sick sentinel
#

it was easy once you understood that it only fucks you with the buff up and stand behind is a like requirement for melee dps

strong forum
#

na

#

that boss was only easy if you had 4 ranged players

#

cuz theyd stand on the safespot

#

and youd just do your thing alone as a tank and they do their kicks

distant crystal
#

you could do it for melee too

strong forum
#

yes i know

sick sentinel
#

it was fine it was "don't stand in tornadoes, stand behind wait for interupt instruction

but that was ultra cancer to move

dodge tornados, stand close enough, aim frontals away

and kick

and move boss back and forth outside of rune

when last boss gave the buff to everyone

i don't care that i can de-level it, i just want to delete it get a new onw

so the healer had to get 100yds away on pull

to let a dps get the buff
