Mf this shit expired
63 degrees in february
We got 43 days left on this bitch
sounds like a you problem we got -2 🙂
I stand corrected; it's 39 today, but it's 63 tomorrow. Safe to say I've not been outside yet today.
Also I'd know celsius if the education system taught me it
But alas fahrenheit
To be fair
The education system did
We just never use it in anything other than stem

True
Any idea how long its gonna be before the ideal covenant for 9.2 is figured out
Already has been for a while
Which is it
Mostly yes
Welp I g uess its a good thing ive been hammering out necro
You’ll also play one of those two until double Lego for raid
Kyrian is better defensively from Phial alone in M+
Just helps heaps with bleeds, poisons, diseases, etc.
Just drop stacks with not getting hit with soulshape 4head

So what makes prot a good choice to bring instead of other tanks for raids
Yeah but that's time not hitting stuff
Raid comp but that's p much the main thing
You’re directly increasing your DPS’ damage
Ez clap
Banner go brrr
Mainly just if you don't have another warrior or if you just want tank DPS (this patch). For next patch it's still up in the air who will have the best tank DPS in raid
For sure
Are prots up there in damage this tier? Subcreation has them lowest in damage
We're really high in damage if you just play correctly
Ehhhh
Boomieweave has more tho
In multi target
Same with ashen prot
In single it’s meh
afaik 0
rip
🙂
love blizz design
but it shouldnt matter much
cuz raid tank dmg is never high
sylv was an exception
and its very predictable dmg, like all tank dmg
so you just gotta play around those dmg events and you can continue on cruising
Honestly in raid play what you like tank wise
whats our plan goiing into 9,2 double lego wise etc ? been out the loop for a few months
How many warriors are too many warriors in a raid group
Who knows
prolly 5
Likely no more than 3 dps warriors
Realistically you’re probably not going over 2 dps
Is 1 prot 2 dps warriors ok?
Yea
I think its high key busted
The only answer
Do i really need to play Necro for raiding in 9.2? im a casual raider(pug) w/o guild... so kyrian is still fine?
u also have time as theres no point in playing necro till double leggo and tier set
Yeah i will go trough torghust next week 1-2 hours per day after work
maybe every 2nd day or so :D
Alright so ive done a few keys and a few glaring issues for me have popped up. Hoping you guys can help me out.
- Is reprisal first priority for maintaining shield block and use SB when charge and intervene are on CD, or should I be using reprisal as a way to close the gap when SB is on cooldown?
- Should I be using charge and intervene on cooldown?
- Since SB duration stacks should I just use both stacks as soon as possible?
- Should I be intervening a melee so I dont have to move, or intervene a caster to get to charge range, and charge right back to get 8 seconds of SB.
- If SB is on cooldown do I just dump all my excess rage into revenge unless I know a big hit is coming for ignore pain?
- If I'm about to cap rage and I have no rage spenders (SB on cooldown, revenge has a free proc) should I use ignore pain just to get rid of it so I dont cap rage?
- Is there a point where I should be pooling rage?
Alot of time I just felt like I was hitting buttons, not entirely sure the optimal point to use my abilities
1 hour of Torghast is almost 20 runs if you're soloing in 5 minutes O_O
- u use reprisal to fill the gaps in SB so u in most terms u can charge SB x2 or SB x3 then intervene or charge or whatever u like
2)u probably want to aim to use intervene as much as possible, although charge weaving is good u use it enough regularly anyway
3)u can use both stacks, but that is not best practice, the best practice is to just use one and then use the next as your loosing the buff or when u need it, u dont double stack because u can waste SB through mobs/bosses casting so it wont actually block anything if u have saved that charge then u could use it after the cast etc so u get more effective blocks
4)u should never intervene out and charge back, u will most likely overcapp rage as thats a lot of rage right there but u also loose the proc'd revenge which is also technically wasting 20 rage, and u should always aim to intervene a melee, if there is no melee just the closest person u can get
5)u can spend u rage how u like if u have SB up, u can revenge or IP whatever yu feel most comfortable
6)u always have a rage spender and thats IP, it should be used always to stop capping rage if u are about to, if u can revenge instead then thats fine but just make sure your rage doesnt go above 100 so at around 85-95 u want to just dumb rage - use should always make sure u have 30 rage for whenever SB is comign back off cd and that is if its 6 seconds away and yu know you'll get 30 rage in that time u can spam to 0 just as long as u have that 30 rage back for SB
Meanwhile, druids...
if u play druid correctly with all the shape shifting, it actually pretty hard but no one does it
Because it’s clunky as fudge
true
Did they buff M+ like they did in 9.1? I don't see it in patch notes
k value always increase
there'll be a wowhead article in the next week
w/ k values and hp/dmg %s and stuff
they will increase K value
and they will raise base m+ values by 30%
like they always do
m0 gets readjusted for increased ilvl by~30% each patch because it also drops higher ilvl
which translates into m+
We love running on treadmills
new affix tho
new affix is shit
So we're wanting to still run reprisal for raids in 9.2 correct?
unless there's a fight where we specifically need the shorter shield wall cd, yes
Upgrading 3 leggos in 9.2 "fuuuuuuuuuuuun"
the currency comes from everywhere and the ilvl increase is overall a minute power increase
don't need to rush and blow a million gold week 1
Hey guys, what is the best covenant to Raid as a Prot Warrior in 9.2?
Necro
Thxxx
Only 3?
Bro I upgraded Seismic Reverb, Nature’s Fury, Elysian Might, Reprisal, and the Wall in S2 alone
Shit if it’s only 3 next patch I call that improvement 💀
I mean i did 5 in 9.1 as well between arms and prot. Im going main prot this time not worrying bout arms lol
Shit including arms and fury I had Signet and Enduring Blow on top of that
If you really wanna get stingy about it you can log it, check the logs and see who dealt the first bit of damage to it/who it targeted first
Imma just do Reprisal and Signet for a while, should be good enough with 262 Wall cloak if it comes to that (since higher ilvl cloak isn't a huge gain statswise)
Signet on prot?
i would guess they're just saying to have a prot one and a dps one
That's completely self inflicted
Yea
What situations did you use nf lego in?
Like if you're just doing mindless low keys and pumping for damage you would've been fine with seismic lol
Before I swapped to Kyrian b/c it was pretty good DPS as NF prot
Before ripcord got pulled
EM at least has value with arms/fury
It was a top parsing lego at the beginning of the tier on prot for some fights too
Lol ic
Ye
When you have the disposable gold and don’t wanna swap because at the time it’d take 2 weeks plus farming, it ends up being worth it
What slots are we looking to have our legos in?
Boots and belt iirc
Yeah I would just have Signet for random Fury fun in 15s
should we be making say reprisal boots now? or wait for patch
as mine are legs atm
If you want to min-max then boots, yes.

i've fully adapted to american date system but
it just makes less sense
homeland got it right
america doesnt make sense, the use some weird measurements
that have actually cause alot of accidents
because they dont convert in the end

yeah there's no real argument for imperial measurement shit
why learn all these numbers
instead of 10, 100, 1000
Prot channel peeps doing culture conversations and in the 10.0 waiting room on the bench.....Arms and Fury channels debate their S tier levels independently.
In the 10.0 waiting room cause the expansion is bad. 😦
Also cause LA.
prot warriors most cultured spec, i don't see the problem

I do plan on doing 1 weekly key per week for a chance of a tier piece and then complain that i still don't have the full set 3 months in.
chad
doing things explicitly to hurt yourself and then complaining later, like a true world of warcraft gamer

Well imma gonna be sole Gigachad prot warrior representing. Gonna show all these tanks Prot Warriors can still push.
i'm gonna be having a good time with my friends playing video games, like i have all expansion
pretty cool way to be
Fair points.
Amen
20 Prot Warriors Take On Mythic Sepulcher
do we even have 20 prot warriors
No.

Exactly how i like it.
same 🙂
Lets be quietly in a solid place and see all the healers and DPS'ers in m+ keys be "WHAT THE HELL, I THOUGHT PROT WAS BAD?!?!?!?"
The best feeling.

this place is gonna be peepee if pwarr becomes mega meta
Amen
if you're a bear no one ever whispers you "wow didn't know you could do that"
Exactly.
yeah same lol
The good old DPS'ers complaining when they do less/equal damage to a tank:
"YPOU PULLED TOO LITTLE SH*T TANK"
Starting a key : wow, long time no see a prot warrior
Ending the key: wow, prot warrior is actually solid
never heard that one before 🙂
i don't want prot to become fotm
imagine the people that would come charging in here
We had that in BfA. 👀
see they dont say that to me because i pull more then there used to being pulled tbh

They need a excuse for their bad DPS.
i think i end up just trolling my healers because i play like a dps
theyre not used to having to work so might as well let them sweat a bit
i just don't play with weird randos
i dont have anyone to m+ with so i only play with randos
The joy from spamming 
I will join you for 1 key per week in 9.2
🙂

i can play arms very medicorely
the last few times u said u would do keys with me, everytime i pinged u u didnt respond
actually true
People asking me if i can switch dps : "yes, i have a prot spec"
But i DID respond.
keys tonight then wakey? 
ive done my keys for the week
Agreed. I do the same DPS as fury as i do with prot.
And less as Arms cause Arms is the spec for noobs.

you havent done them with me
we're in the prot channel, you can say it
Je but Nome gets tilted when someone bad mouths arms.
But i guess he's lost in LA so it's fine.

@strong forum arm bad fury good
@strong forum arm bad fury good
so true bestie
arms > fury 
dog im gonna take your crown
you will try
I play furry warrior 
owo
yer if u believe that im not carrying u in keys
facts care about my feelings ive been told
and i enjoy arms more if i ever dabble in dps
so
u were getting close SF material...... this is a blow to that 
also just saying fury is S-tier
arms is not
i know fury is way better
I play a furry prot warrior 


:doubt:
Je, be careful..you're going to become a "A dog without A Crown" if this continues.
honestly if you're a dog with a crown you can say anything you want
False.
😮
we can try and stop you but what power do we have

big sim has shills in skyhold too it seems

is 9.2 sims done yet @ionic fern ?
I honestly have no idea what you just said.
No. I'm in LA queue.

they said big sim has shills in skyhold too it seems
i will use this as proof to strengthen my arbitrary argument

#MwahiForSF
don't blame him

i support it
@jagged pier admitted letters make his head hurt
one day Mwahi
he needs numbers
you'll be a SF
I trust.
theorycrafter is higher than SF on the list, therefore it's better
TC gets mod privileges
you think it is, but it isn't
mwahi > erga
That's a lie.
TC = work for free
SF = say what ever you want
Is Mwahi as powerful as ThunderClap?
Tho i guess me and Archi are the only TC's right now and we both have mod. 👀
No. Thunder Clap is stronger than i am.
bfa 
3xBoM 3xDC don't @ me.
can't DC if you never play
also is there any cool trinkets in the next raid that we know of so far?
haven't looked at anything at all in 9.2 🙂
no
😦
will aegis still be banging?
stat stick
There was one but they nerfed it to oblivion.
pog
oh yeah
think we're back to scale now
sack dead as fuck
Rude.
oh yeah they nerfed sack right
sad!
!
shid
phial and scale got nerfed as well

yep
hymnal isnt nerfed 👀
idk i'm sorta glad to not have to obsessively hunt the same trinkets again from m+
i hunted scale like a madman in 9.0.5
those are the trinkets

Lets be honest here..no point in raiding/doing dungeons..all the gear gets replaced next expansion with greens anyways.

circle of life
10.0 good
what's the point of living if we're all going to die
Lets be honest here...no point in playing at all...everything gets replaced every 2 years anyways.

I just log in from time to time so my warrior doesn't feel lonely.
🙏
yeah suddenly everyone will be into RTS games again
wtf is an rts game
it's ok
wait nvm
real trap shit
o pog
microsoft has actual management skills and market sense
Can you not show your youth so glaringly?

No, all you youngsters do now is "FAST I GOTTA GOOGLE "WHAT IS RTS"".
And then act smart like: "Real time strategy".

vocaroo thread
I'm proud to say my daughter has been steered clear from Fortnite.

Stop
how old is she?

9
might not be out of the woods yet
she's a roblox kid
so there's still time to dissapoint parents
calling it

being a dad is the most prot warrior thing to do
Actually true.
But she's also playing Warcraft and Starcraft.
poor kid
does she farm herbs on your toon
Yes.
good
getting that passive income set up i see
making waves in the economy
true sigma male grindset mindset
People used to have kids so they could farm the lands and help with stuff around the farm.
Now we have children so they can do our daily quests in game which we don't want to do.
"grindset mindset" 
what are kids but a low risk long term investment
Nothing low risk about it.
Fortnite is just around the corner.
fortnite is to kids what inflation is to cash

so true bestie
💅
12 inches in ur dad lol

Got em
i swear goodstuffe became a dog with a crown and became the funniest person here by a mile
It's the anonmyminhinty

i just switch up personalities depending on the characteristics of my profile picture
not that you'd know cus i stopped switching profile pictures like 2 years ago
i lost my shit at this
It's all the fortnite
ur just bitter like scrooge
Dog persona is great tbf
yall im 36 years old, let me laugh at the dog with a crown in my twilight years
holy fuck
don't hate on harrow 
36 is a big number
i'm working on it

it's gonna be even bigger next year
none of those are us cus they're clearly not inside
True.
Me as the dumb kid without a car
I visited my parents during the weekend who live in a smaller town and i got a culture shock cause i wanted to order food to home and they said "We don't have that here".
So i had to actually go to the store.

delivery is expensive asf here
👀
not ordering that shit
It's like 1-2 EUR here.
i don't have the option here 
Delivery here is better than going to store
Cuz it's better quality cuz fresher
And 0 extra cost
0 extra cost?
Same with beverages
ordered off of wish
You can order like 50€++ worth of beverages and get it 1.5hrs later and they pick up your empty bottles aswell
i have 20 euros in my wallet
It's delivery, 1.5hrs is stupid fast
also five british pounds
1.5h is an eternity
for a country that has autobahn yall are weirdly slow
wtf
?
here it takes 30 mins if im UNLUCKY
Ordering made food, sure 1.5hrs is slow
But for ordering groceries
That's stupid fast
Gast

Don't go full mong, thank you.

5 out of 6?
if you don't get it by 6 you lose
@dawn canyon
What happens if you don't guess it?
You get to try again I think
Then im Bad
What's with the boxes tho?
Try it
Yellow means correct letter, wrong Spot
It shows your score without spoiljng the word
Black means wrong letter
Yellow = guessed correct letter wrong spot
Green = correct spot correct letter
Green is correct letter correct Spot
👀
Nerdle is harder
Not only do you have more spots but you also have to guess a proper equation
brb trying
Inb4 you get it first try
My thing bakc then was like 13-4-2=7 btw
big if true
80's 👴
ban me then
I'll give you a hint
Vel told me i can't bully SF.
So i can't.
vel won't notice
True.
No one notices Prot SF's.

prot has SFs?
don't think so
seems kind of redundant
I thought the yellow names are the "Check the Pins" bots.


brb simming

💯
Why no 9.2 pins.
Smh SF's.
too busy doing SF things
why no 9.2 pins
👀
too busy doing Valarjar things
Did you say something Erga?

Bears casually doing 300k dps in aoe
Feral gets nerfed by 80% when they do crazy aoe dmg with 300 buffs
But if a bear does it without crazy buffs they instead get their set bonus hasted so they can do even more

Bear stupid strong in m+ defensively? - sleep
Bear has too low damage in m+? - Triggered
I say give Warriors Holy shield so i can shut up all these people saying "Hurrdurr prot weak against magic damage".


make spell reflect 15 sec cd tbh
make SR spell reflect everything for the duration and work on all spells like legion
🤷
that too
Yes.
So we all agree that every time we press IP we should automatically also gain SR.
Got it.
yea
agreed yep
is bear gonna be the go-to in M+ again? 🙄
I'm gonna say..paladin or brew if you wanna follow meta blindely.
no
warrior is gonna
be really good in
mythic +
Tank Class doesn't matter for 99% of the playerbase.
i rolled Pala, because it seems like Warr will be kinda bad this season :/
also no one seems to play Arms in raid, so there goes my DPS spec
Then you play arms.
and our guild Enha sham isnt joining raid this time
so there goes my 5% windfury dps 😦

basically currently im thinking doing Prot Pala M+, and BM hunt in Raid
ew
but man it hurts just leaving my warrior to rot in 246 gear 😦
filthy casual
i enjoy Arms being top of DPS meter 😄 and wont rly happen without Enha 😦
ye generally bad, except for our UDK
See, you're golden then.
and he will pump no matter if we have Enha or not
Just beat them as Arms and be like "Arms is bad and i still beat you, git gud".
😄
I also kinda want to play ranged, to have more overview of the fight, to call out shit
for my noob guilds to follow commands
also the Arms tier set looks boring as fk
Main prot warrior weakness is not magic damage, it is the fact we have only % DR, no raw DR / absorption
Imagine playing brew in raid when it gives your raid nothing
does it give the debuff?
so you can play Brew, and sit your WW? 😄
it gives physical debuff 
So does WW and MW
Do you mean... 1% touch or 3% leech ?
the 3% of all damage done heals the raid
and the fact that it stacked with other prot warriors
and gave healing aggro
so if u played like me your co tank struggled to keep aggro

before it was nerfed and could be stacked exorsus's kill of Cenarius
:')
I remember...
"Prot is not good"
Then, I tested with, and without inspiring presence
In one case, people stopped dying
I can't wait to get all the people here saying "Why am i doing so poorly as prot and can't keep banner up 100%?" and then notice that they are wasting 1k+ rage.

Well, if people continue putting us as the lowest tank in tier-lists we should actually be fine..considering how people blindly follow tier lists.


Have you tried pressing your buttons?

Jep.


@ionic fern gunlancer is anything like a tank in LA?
Read there is no proper tank or healer
That doesn't seem like WoW.

But i guess Gunlancer would be the closest thing to a "tank", yes. It has a shield and is the beefiest out of all the classes. You are reliant on dodging mechanics and positioning well..there's no "proper tank or healer". 🙂
Thanks
Can it charge mobs with a trail of fire?
Yeah, we do
yes
Intradasting
You dont even need a good healer
Ya 232 is omega fine for 14s
is the wall worth fot 9.2 maintank raid?
reprisal for raid, unless theres some boss that requires super low CD on wall
https://bloodmallet.com/ seems to be updating to 9.2 now 🙂 @ionic fern is making the 9.2 simcraft? 🙂
😄
the wall is fine if you're lazy 
sending love @ionic fern ❤️
Well the wall will probably actually be better on some of the fights as theres nothing blockable in them

Snore
My 235 is gonna do the trick tho 
Ive fell off in this game ngl
Since my guild broke down
Enha doing 17.8k dps while Frost DK doing 14.6k 🤔 wtf 😄
u fell off long before that dw

kyrian with the wall?
Ww didnt even crack 14k

anything not venthyr 
Wallthyr
Okayge
lol ok thank

necro omega busted if fights allow it
Wallthyr propaganda 
Only after 7 weeks

Agree

🙅♂️
It's a base quicksim without perfectly optimised sim or gear
Whereas enha is absolutely perfected to the last inch to squeeze out as much as possible
dead spec
Dead in raid
But aren't they still dumbass broken in m+?
Well I guess not as much as surv hunter
Ah tru bonedust nerfed
Forgot about that
Who's ready for bear + rogue + fmage + surv + rsham mdi?
fury S tier 

fury> arms
@strong forum
Banned
deserved
Arms > Fury always
No
Fury wins in sims so has to be better 
Just like venthyr fury sims higher than kyr 

surv got giga nerfed :(

you didnt see my note? 😦
how so?
the tierset fixes are yuge nerfs
for aoe at least
no idea what their ST looks like
The problem with arms is that we already have 1h weapons from prot
Reprisal on boots for next patch right?
Or should I keep them on my legs until I get a tier piece
Yea that's the plan for now anyway. I got a really good deal on a set of 262 boots though so I can be ready to craft them any time
with the new affix are we going for the CDreduction one?
haste
really? aint it effecting our avatar and that would be handy to have it up most time
haste also reduces the CDR of everything
with the 4 set ofc
fair but aint that shitty for the healer?
Haste one is exactly like a drum
CD reduction seems... a niche, when you know you'll need a major cooldown to do a pack
Cd reduction, from a routing stand point, is the least relevent
cdr was kinda good on ptr after it got changed
