blazing condor
#

but still

jagged pier
#

thats the right way

#

same as me

#

actually no i did that stream a few weeks ago

#

enough for like a year

#

expect for someone need to take up the mantle of key pusher as @patent osprey is going monk

#

any takers?

blazing condor
#

i would

#

but college

#

also no frens

jagged pier
#

that means u have the time

blazing condor
#

im not like erga

deft hinge
#

wooot! Plka going monkaw?!??!

jagged pier
#

well if u were you'd be SF'd by now keks

crystal iris
#

Ive played both reprisal and seismic

#

But as you say I should be able to comfortbaly tank a 15 with seismic

jagged pier
#

well playing siesmic is all about comfort with the spec which it sounds like u arent, so probably not tbh

sweet summit
#

yo how tf do i remove decimals on a wa

jagged pier
sweet summit
#

o nvm i think i got it

#

ty jakey

patent osprey
#

We have no Monk Debuff in our raid T_T

#

So I have to tank as monk

jagged pier
sweet summit
#

rip plka

patent osprey
#

ill still be playing my warrior

#

just be my alt 😦 till prog is over

blazing condor
jagged pier
solid granite
#

b..but..

crystal iris
#

Ive also played it quite a bit

#

But I still find it very punishing and those were tyr weeks

lime urchin
#

Monk is fun!

crystal iris
#

maybe ill do a few more runs to get back into it then stream or log

#

Its mostly that the whole fun I find in tanking is that you can soft carry / help guildies out with KSM and stuff but I find that much harder on warr than pally

ionic fern
#

Paladin IS arguably the best "Let me carry these plebs to KSM" tank. 🤷

#

You just got so much utility/heals and DPS that you can do everything.

crystal iris
#

and the interrupts

#

its nice to have that mob control

#

because people who need help with KSM arent exactly kicking the far out mob so it can run in

ionic fern
#

That goes under "Utility" in my book.

#

👍

#

But yes.

crystal iris
#

how much dps would you say you gain from seisemic over reprisal

#

lets say halls 15 fort, rough estimate

#

2k?

lime urchin
#

Well that depends on your bravery

#

Do you pull trash on bosses

#

Which can’t be done on 2nd and last boss I thinks

#

Well technically you can on 2nd but that’d be a bit clunky I think

#

And also there will some kiting done in halls if da baers start hurting you on lower ilvls

#

That are many words for saying

#

I don’t know

distant crystal
#

you're also gonna want to never press IP right

#

all rage to shieldblock->revenj

crystal iris
#

I mean I hit IP to not overcap

#

and occasionally to help with the dog bleeds

#

but you guys are right I should play more with reprisal and get really comfortable with it

distant crystal
#

i'm just talking for seismic

#

every IP you push is 2 reprisals you didn't push sadga

crystal iris
#

gotta stay alive too

#

dead=zero revenges

#

although I guess you could weigh the 4% HP you regain from revenge vs the IP amount

deft hinge
#

3k rio to get best conduits, just great

distant crystal
#

i don't think that's gonna be the only way

deft hinge
#

i dont raid so

dawn canyon
#

3k is around all 20s

#

So p doable

distant crystal
#

right, that's the item that upgrades every conduit to 278. it's not the only way to get your conduits to 278

jagged pier
#

it is all 20s done

distant crystal
#

and yeah it's equiv to 2400 this season

jagged pier
#

but tbh

#

if u care that much about conduit ilvl

#

u will probs be doing the achieves to unlock them

crystal iris
#

I mean you can probably hit that IO before you get CE

#

so that would be useful

distant crystal
#

you could get elite in pvp before mythic comes out p sure

jagged pier
#

look okay if it uses the tuning from PTR 20 swith tier sets and double leggos will be a joke

distant crystal
#

let's get some early guessing for cutoff of s3 hero title

sick sentinel
#

everyone saying theyll get it week 2 or 3 lmao

distant crystal
#

I'm gonna say 3500ish

jagged pier
#

i mean i was doing 20s like week 3 this season

#

in pugs

#

🤷

#

really not a big deal

sick sentinel
#

thats way different since there was nothing new

distant crystal
#

actually i think that's prob pretty low maybe 3700

jagged pier
#

there was a new k value

#

which is literally the only new thing in the dungeons

#

whatever else u get is added on top

crystal iris
#

you guys want to watch a NW16?

sick sentinel
#

yeah but not enough, this new season will be alot more scaling to mobs and bosses in M+

jagged pier
#

no?

crystal iris
#

hahah

sick sentinel
#

jesh

jagged pier
#

like the scale on ptr

#

was not that bad

sick sentinel
#

well you guys have double legos and tiers sets on ptr already

#

you wont have it on week 3

jagged pier
#

not all the time

strong forum
#

its always been 30% baseline per tier

#

and blizz has not made any notion which would suggest that they will increase key scaling like they did in bfa s4 from 8% per key to 10% per key

#

which was exclusive due to the insanity that was corruptions

sick sentinel
#

Who knows no one

strong forum
#

exactly

#

nobody knows

#

but its also unlikely

sick sentinel
#

With the way things are going I’d say likely

strong forum
#

also given the new affix, you will have more frequent access to way bigger powerspikes

sick sentinel
#

But they could be making things easier for everyone

strong forum
#

which could potentially lead to dungeons actually being easier

#

than currently

#

now what it also depends on is affix rotation

#

maybe they create absolute an absolute dogshit affix rotation

sick sentinel
#

They need to make a necrotic affix for ranged

strong forum
#

but it is factually likely that people absolutely will get 20s done in the first few weeks

#

if not much higher

#

people did fucking 22s week1 of s2

#

with 226 gear

sick sentinel
#

Those are the top .01% of players tho

#

Although I did hit 2k week 2 and rolled an alt

#

grizzled lotus
#

NF gamers; do I delay AA 15 sec to line it up with Avatar

#

or just rip it if you want/need it

chilly brook
grizzled lotus
#

I'm running HR

#

I guess I mean for M+

chilly brook
#

At what key level

grizzled lotus
#

idk like 20s

#

HR just feels better for SB uptime

#

maybe unnecessary?

#

just run AM

urban portal
#

honestly

#

if you dont have any more block

#

just book it

chilly brook
#

Depends

urban portal
#

wait for 1 block to come back

#

and charge back in

grizzled lotus
#

rgr

chilly brook
#

Like as keys go higher HR has more value

#

Not sure if you legit need it at 20

grizzled lotus
#

yeah if it's just way more damage to have more Avatars then sure

#

also extra liberal use of Shield Wall is good

#

I'll give it a try

chilly brook
#

It is more damage

#

By a fairly decent amount

grizzled lotus
#

it's going to be exceptional in 9.2 right? with the tier set

#

like maybe even high keys still running AM?

chilly brook
#

Tier set is like 1100-1400 rage per minute

#

Or rather prot with tier set and necro

grizzled lotus
#

Yeah that's my plan

chilly brook
#

Probably won’t be running necro in keys

mighty valley
#

necro seems like it'll be decent for keys but too stressful

#

too many button presses, i'll play kyrian and chill

#

but yeah i'd recommend AM up til real real high keys

chilly brook
#

In general Kyrian just likely is better in keys

grizzled lotus
#

my group needs NF for those dungeons but I can swap all 3

chilly brook
#

Or NF

grizzled lotus
#

probably won't even try Necro until double leggo exists

mighty valley
#

oh yeah, the BIS covenant is still gonna be the one the group doesn't have

grizzled lotus
#

Necro Raid for sure

chilly brook
#

Kyrian/NF are pretty interchangeable in keys

#

Necro hands down for raid though ye

grizzled lotus
#

oh here's a question

#

would you guys run Wall or Glory while waiting for double leggo in raid?

#

I was assuming Wall

mighty valley
#

reprisal

grizzled lotus
#

oh no way

mighty valley
#

well, depends on fights, but reprisal was best in like... all but a couple sanctum fights

chilly brook
#

Reprisal

mighty valley
#

i haven't studied sepulcher fights a lot but reprisal is better unless there's a compelling reason for a very short shield wall

chilly brook
#

I’d stay Kyrian until double Lego tbh

#

But if you’re going to run necro glory

#

Unless I absolutely need the survival from reprisal

grizzled lotus
#

mmk so for heroic week I'd probably just do NF or Kyrian/Reprisal then

#

then maybe swap to Necro later with double leggo and run Glory/Reprisal or Wall if yeah, there is some pressing need for a faster 2nd shield wall

#

I thought the bonus Avatar uptime was just better overall

#

really enjoying the Reprisal/HR/Devastator playstyle in M+ though

chilly brook
#

I mean if you enjoy it, and it's working, keep doing it

#

HR isn't exactly inting in 20s

grizzled lotus
#

mmk

#

Are there any good spreadsheets or data that people have compiled on the level of difference between prot warrior and other tanks right now? Got into an argument with someone who said that prot warriors are complete garbage compared to all other tanks, which is BS in my opinion

#

I know we have some big brain theorycrafters in here 🙂

dark lark
#

All tanks are good

#

No tanks are garbage

#

Pretty simple

#

Prot warrior still has a lot of value in raid with rally, intervene safeguard as a ghetto sac, execute dam, and eventually Necro banner buff. In m+ block nullifies a majority of incoming damage, and we do really good aoe damage

#

Whoever says prot warrior (or any tank) is garbage is a dumbass

hollow hill
#

Thank you

#

It gets frustrating when people who don't understand anything talk shit

urban portal
#

Tbf

#

You have people like plka saying prot warrior isn't the hottest

dark lark
#

Yeah, but at the same time the people who you have to argue against probably aren't in the race to world first or pushing 28s+

#

And even then, RWF could potentially use Prot War if it fits their comp

pliant sage
#

I just like the clang sound when Shield Bash goes off. :)

mighty valley

also yes, most guilds who say "you must change class to improve our comp" aren't failing to prog because of comp lol

#

i’ve played prot warr and only prot warr since 2004, i have been trough all expansions. Yes prot feels weak this exp to a certain degree, you are more dependent on group to do its job then earlier. people often say its only noticeable when doing high-end keys, that is wrong in my opinion. you dont «suddenly» meet a wall were prot dont do it, if you are experienced with prot warr you can feel it long before that

#

but prot is still fun to play for me, eventhough all my friends is all about the meta, i am still here walking these halls

I played Protpala since 2005 and my raidlead now asked me to play protwarrior coz the lack of a melee warrior. So i agreed and now i'm playing Protwarr since 2 weeks. And man, it's a lot of fun. The toolkit of Protwarr is as good as the Paladin one. But it's more difficult to play, but i like this challange. So i hope u guys here are okay with a warrior newbie and excuse some hillarious questions if i can't find an answer by myself.

i thought theres covenant campaign skip in this patch? 🤔

west walrus
#

There is no campaign skip

#

You may get your soulbinds without doing the campaign if you already did it with another toon

ye ok

and mount in torghast is not acc shared copium

west walrus

Mount in Torghast ?

craggy pilot

maw i mean sry

west walrus

Oh, that. You may skip many quests

craggy pilot

so whenever i switch to a new covenant on a toon with 80+ renown, i have to do entire campaign?

no?

when u get to the cov as part of the quest there like a dialog option of like ive done this before etc etc

Per character you have to do campaign once

how will legendary work in 9.2? they will be upgradable higher than 262 right?

yush

but i still need Soul Cinders?

blazing condor

Honestly no idea lol

#

Doubtful??

#

Itd feel weird to still go to ”the runecarver” and upgrade leggos with torghast stuff

#

Specially cus the runecarver is freed now

agile pumice
#

You need cinders to get them up to 262 but for the higher levels you just need the new patch currency

urban portal
#

The new patch currency you get everywhere

#

Very easy

gleaming pecan
#

With the catch up gear being 226, I was thinking of rolling prot on my Necro warrior and trying to raid and push ksm, is Necro prot going to do okay or is it going to be hard to compete? Also being I don’t have a toon at 80 renown my warrior is lacking some serious conduits is that going to create a problem?

mighty valley
#

Necro prot is looking very good for raid, definitely more than good enough for KSM too

#

You get renown for doing most stuff so just start trying to do catchup stuff and it won't take that long to get to 80

gleaming pecan
#

Sounds good. I haven’t tanked in awhile and it seems waaaaay less stressful than holy priest. Well a different kind of stress at least

#

How impactful are conduits for prot? I know they’re good for arms which I’ve been playing but not game breaking? Also what is the best legendary combo?

mighty valley
#

Our conduits are among the least impactful so I wouldn't worry about grinding them up too much, they'll come to you

#

It's mostly gonna be Reprisal + covenant legendary

mellow bridge
#

you'll get the conduits at 265 through m+ naturally

#

so it's not a big deal if you dont have em

gleaming pecan
#

Where does reprisal drop? I can look in game later I’m just at work on lunch so I’m just trying to make plans ha

#

Also what slot should I craft it on? Is belt for covenant legendary good enough or does it need to go elsewhere when it comes

distant crystal
#

upper reaches torghast

#

If you're crafting it now probably boots

#

so it won't interfere with tier drops

#

upper reaches isn't open this week but you can do twisted corridors layer 3 and just keep leaving/rejoining until you get upper reaches

#

but i think you'd have to do a full layer 1 and 2 to unlock layer 3

ionic maple
#

Dusted off my prot Warr since 9.0 been doing low keys as necro with seismic to help with the dps since I'm pretty tanky as necro. Will this sustain at higher keys?

blazing condor
#

Depends on how good you are and what you define as higher keys. Deswind did like 20 with seismic?? But it's probably just safer overall to change to reprisal

#

Necro is fine - not the best but doesn't really matter

ionic maple
#

Thinking KSM next patch so 20s, but I guess there's still a few unknowns as far as next patch goes

dawn canyon
#

its still 15s

#

just also the 2 taza things

#

KSH is 20s

blazing condor
#

For 15s seismic is definitely fine

#

but you only really gain damage so it's definitely more risky

ionic maple
#

Yeah, I just feel tanky already playing necro so I felt more dps wouldn't hurt

blazing condor
#

yeah and thats fine

#

seismic is more fun

#

but also more of a meme

#

play it til you feel like it's not viable anymore thats about it

mighty valley
#

you're definitely expecting your team to be doing their jobs well if you take seismic

urban portal
#

if you take seismic

#

take feral druids

ionic maple
#

Would emeni be better in m+ with her pustules ability?

urban portal
#

honestly play whatever man

#

the thing about necrolord soulbinds is that they all kinda suck

ionic maple

And does the cov leggo extend the strength buff from her and the conduit?

def not the soulbind

maybe the conduit

yea it extends the conduit

#

I remember about a year ago someone posted a flowchart about how damage goes through DRs and absorbs. Would it hit fleshcraft or IP first?

I feel my damage as prot is lower than it should be.... help me out. 248 ilvl...but a few things. I just started to try to weave in executes on low targets (should I do this in aoe packs as priority or continue revenge etc?)...also..on single target should i revenge to not waste rage? Any other tips to maximize dps? On an AOE pack should I revenge as often as I can along with shield slam and thunder clap as possible?

#

M+ specifically of course.

chilly brook
#

Shield slam on cd

#

Revenj a lot

#

Even in single target

#

Execute on 3 targets or less iirc

#

Press TC for shield slam resets

#

Don’t sit on your CDs

#

Hit them as they come up

#

@viral cove

viral cove

Ok appreciate it. Definitely looking to improve @chilly brook .. I think more executes will be important to help push dps some. Currently I'm necro so I'm not as strong as Kyrian Forgelite prime... but still can do 5.5-6.0k overall dps in dungeons. I'd like to do 7k...

Also. Is Crit good to have higher? My haste is around 29%, crit at 12%, vers 17% and mastery 24%....should I push any stats higher? I try to wear as much haste/vers as I can.

chilly brook
#

Don’t worry about stats much

#

Haste vers is nice to have

#

Haste crit pumps a little harder

#

But overall you’re going to see the best results as far as damage and survival are concerned through getting better at pushing your buttons

#

Make good use of reprisal

Hey guys I gotta ask what do you guys feel about current situation of Prot and 9.2 . Asking cause I’m thinking to reroll warrior for next tier and want to play all three specs

#

Both in raid and m+

strong forum
#

It'll be perfectly fine for all types and levels of content except the absolute world highest of keys

#

It's current spot in the m+ hierarchy won't change

We will be decently stronger in raid compared to now

#

But we will continue to be the least popular tank

I really don’t understand how every now and then people pop in this discord, ask about the state of protection warrior and then get the same answer as always, it’s viable, it’s not popular etc etc. Do these people then take this answer for granted to base on wether they will play a class? I highly suggest just trying different tonking specs and see which one you enjoy the most, and just play that.

trim bay
#

they would get told by other people that other classes are better which they probably are but less fun to play. its good though, every time they ask i read we are fine just not for world first or high keys

again there is no main case for using shockwave, you should use it when u need it

Hey @jagged pier , srry if i'm beeing dumb about it, but if i could put examples of good times to use shockwaves they would be:

  • Interrupt
  • Stop non interruptible casts
  • Start kiting
  • Drop necrotic stacks
#

I'm rlly new to prot, don't know when i need to use

Don't DR other people's single target stuns as well, so plan around it.

u cant really

most pugs use their stuns ASAP tho

So what are some examples that's a good time to Shockwave?

jagged pier

literally what ive said above and what you've listed my whole point is just dont use shockwave because u have it up

its something that should be used and only used when u need it

you also don't need a stun to start kiting garms

just jump away lmao

a unity leggo that works both for prot and arms at least

arms wants unity on boots

so you're kinda fucked

but ring works

Just dont get leg set piece

and you're fine

i suppose you could do haste crit unity and that would be good for both

so ring would be the go to for unity in this case

So before secondaries, block chance scales with shield ilvl because block rating, does damage reduction from block still scale with shield ilvl?

sweet summit
#

block chance does not scale with shield ilvl

#

block rating is one of the pieces in the equation for damage reduction from blocked attacks

ionic maple
#

Ah. So it's a static base chance to block, but rating is for the reduction

sweet summit
#

idk the intricacies of block chance, i play warrior and we have 100% chance to block xd

ionic maple
#

Any idea what the reduction is for 278 shield?

sweet summit
#

for 9.2?

ionic maple
#

Yeah

sweet summit
#

do you know how much block a 278 shield has?

ionic maple
#

I was just poking around last night and was napkin mathing critical block stuff

ionic maple
sweet summit
#

fuck

#

i have to log on ptr then

ionic maple
#

I appreciate it!

sweet summit
#

also which situation?

#

raid, m+?

ionic maple
#

Have a fuzzy cow for the effort

sweet summit
#

thanks man

#

appreciate it

ionic maple
#

More M+, but it should still matter for raid just scaled different for bosses

strong forum
#

raw block chance stems from mastery

#

you have 12% baseline

#

due to the K value increasing in 9.2, a 278 shield will result in roughly the same amount of DR as a 252 shield gives currently

#

so no changes there

ionic maple
#

Thanks. Yeah I was playing around with heirmir soulbind last night and noticed I get 975 mastery just from the bind and banner, was thinking about crit block chance and the ignore pain from tier and avatar all lining up

strong forum
#

its not really something you should think about

#

its there

#

it does smth

#

and thats about the extend that it matters

ionic maple
#

I was bored, so I was thinking about it

sweet summit
#

2257 / (2257+2785) = 0.447 (9.2 m+)

ionic maple
#

That's 44.7% before or after k value?

sweet summit
#

2785 is the K value

ionic maple
#

Ah

#

So crit block would stop 89.2% of dmg?

west walrus
#

It's capped at 85%

sweet summit
#

85% dr iirc

ionic maple
#

Good to know

modern brook
#

its worth noting that Shield wall is a 50% DR cooldown

west walrus
#

50%

modern brook
#

to get a stronger understanding of just how nuts shield block is for dealing with blockable damage

sweet summit
#

50%

modern brook
#

i have large fingers

sweet summit
#

bro i'm just slow today or what

modern brook
#

🌭

west walrus
#

Or older number in mind :p

sweet summit
#

maybe kuku is just fast

#

hmm

blazing condor
ionic maple
#

But it stacks, so 85% from crit block + shield wall= 7.5% dmg taken (minus armor)
