I like it.

#

I don't need to do extra content to get new ones.

blazing condor
#

This game is so good i dont even need to play it

#

its like OSRS 2.0

#

Best way to play the game is to be able to not have to look at it and do something else at the same time

strong forum
#

Hate that

I got like 15 mining levels and watched a whole series at the same time

this is at default value

#

idk how high it gets with max upgrades

blazing condor
#

Seems very niche

#

But i mean could have its uses somewhere

strong forum
#

That's pretty dogshit

#

2min CD and absorbs only 10% of what scale absorbs

#

And only 50% absorption

#

So it's like an IP on a 2min CD for magic only

#

Very very bad

#

Even if the value goes to 100k magic absorb

#

Still worse than scale

#

Even if it went to 200k absorb actually, cuz you'd need to take 400k magic dmg in those 15seconds

steel mist
#

it says cosmic damage

#

most of the bosses do cosmic damage i suppose, whatever that is

strong forum
#

Ya but still, have plenty of better options

#

Sure if it's against cosmic dmg the 200k is good, but i doubt the size of that trinket is gonna increase tenfold

dawn canyon
#

cosmic is for the pvp bom

#

i thought

raven hatch

is it just me or does spell reflect not get affected by cdr from uhr relic

Shield slam shouldn't be affected

#

do you guys think shield wall should be made into a raid defensive?

sweet summit
#

no

jagged pier
#

no

dull tulip
#

why not

jagged pier
#

we already have a very strong one

#

and giving us another then just makes prot warrior broken

#

also bad

#

because u actually want to use SW for i dunno tank mechanics so u dont die

#

cant do that if its a raid cd

dull tulip
#

i guess? but it's more of an oh shit button

jagged pier
#

no

#

prot warrior has 0 oh shit buttons

#

if u are using for when your health goes low

#

you are using it incorrectly

#

u are supposed to use it to ever prevent 'oh shit' happening

dull tulip
#

what do you think about this legendary then?

jagged pier

shit

always has been

always will be

i think it's a really cool one

how is being cool wrong

how is it 'cool'

Doesn’t it only apply to 5 people in a raid

yes

oh i thought it applies to all of them

it literally says party

in the text

dull tulip

i see

mellow patio

Not cool confirmed

dull tulip
#

still kinda cool

#

historically shield walls aren't meant to defend 1 person

jagged pier
#

yes because wow is historically accurate

dull tulip
#

no but warrior is based on the vikings culture

maybe except arms

dragon soul tank tier was something special

I was hunter main turned bear main, raid-wide frenzied regen

that is

craggy pilot
#

do we know if we have to do the entire campaign for the belt? 🤔

#

im wondering how much i have to do the campaign currently on my alts to keep up

distant crystal
#

the free belt requires campaign

#

if your main did the campaign + rep and got the memory, you can craft on alts

#

afaik

craggy pilot
#

im doing campaign on 2nd attempt, and its alrdy tedious as fk

much better than world quests

its also a ton of renown

ye its not too bad, but doing it x5 😦

this week is very tedious

your health is a healer problem

hollow bolt
#

with 2 set shield slam can do some rando 20k hits tho

#

iz nice

#

pfft ignore pain sucks butt

shrewd bronze
#

Honest question like
Ik I'm not super comfortable with prot but like
I pulled that entire first room towards Gorechop's wing in TOP
And after rotating through my CDs and mobs weren't dead, I just flopped dead man
The small guys' bolts were hitting me for way too much

#

What exactly should I do in that scenario?

#

Ofc that burst by the Wo Drifter didn't help but still

jagged pier
#

shackwave stack and SR the decaying filth

#

and stun or block the devour flesh

shrewd bronze
#

I feel so rage starved all the time right now

jagged pier
#

then u arent playing correct

#

for sure

shrewd bronze
#

I mean i shield slam/thunderclap on cd

#

Don't revenge unless proc (if I need the rage for defense)

#

I'm running this

#

Guess I should go heavy repercussions?

chilly brook
jagged pier
#

no

chilly brook
#

You're overusing IP

#

not enough Revenj

jagged pier
#

and also not getting SS procs

#

at all

#

ever

chilly brook
#

^^

jagged pier
#

do missing a tone of rage gen

shrewd bronze
#

Sorry "SS"?

chilly brook
#

shield slam

shrewd bronze
#

Are my talents ok?

strong forum
# shrewd bronze

Withering discharge must be interrupted, decaying filth can be reflected and needs to be dispelled. Devour flesh can be stunned

chilly brook
#

By only using revenge with procs

#

you're missing out on a ton of shield slam procs

shrewd bronze
#

Right but like

#

When I'm just getting fucked I tend to use ignore pain instead

#

Should I still revenge?

chilly brook
#

I mean there's a balance

jagged pier
#

well as IP does nothing u should be using a defensive

chilly brook
#

IP can be helpful

#

but it's not a fix

#

you have logs?

shrewd bronze
#

Not for my keys no

#

I'm mainly a DPS player, trying to get better at prot so I can have an easier time doing keys too

chilly brook
#

log your keys

#

makes spotting problems way easier

shrewd bronze
#

But ok I see your point about revenge to get SS
I honestly didn't even know it had 30% chance to reset SS, completely forgot that

#

Should I change my talents at all for keys?

chilly brook
#

talents looked right

shrewd bronze
#

Ok then yeah, more revenge, less IP

chilly brook
#

Although I run double time

#

instead of storm bolt

jagged pier
#

thats a prefernce

shrewd bronze
#

I guess I'll keep bolt for pugs cuz

#

kicks dont happen (as seen in the pic)

#

lmao

jagged pier
#

just wait till shadowcore, it hits for 50k on 16 i know because my pug wasnt interrupting them yep

shrewd bronze
#

What do you actually do in that case tho?

strong forum
#

Run

#

And yell at your group for being shit

#

🙏

mighty valley
#

like, if you're trying to do that big pull and withering discharge goes off, that's usually GG

shrewd bronze
#

Fair enough

#

ty ty

mighty valley
#

but yeah, you can stun + reflect a lot, and storm bolt a devour flesh

#

but also if you're in pugs where you don't trust the dps, don't do huge pulls

so i guess charge every time he retch

and every end of tank combo

DT is big dick

Is the tier bonus so good that it's worth sacrificing ilvl to get it? Like downgrading from a 262 leg piece to a 239 raid finder leg piece to get the bonus?

chrome falcon
#

yes

#

easily

mighty valley
#

almost certainly but you can sim it

chrome falcon
#

i'm dropping from mythic to normal ilvl on my legs for it

mighty valley
#

rwf guilds were farming normal for it, so

jagged pier
#

252 is worth

#

239 is probably not

mighty valley
#

it's also about how many pieces you're downgrading and which bonus you're getting

#

like, equipping one lfr piece to get to 4set has gotta be worth it

ya

ya, get comfortable simming things

how do you open on packs in m+, i usually get destroyed

iron forum
sweet summit
#

boomkin main :/

mighty valley
#

Make sure rage is being spent to keep SB up, bleed off excess to IP so you don't overcap

#

Start normal priority

#

Something like that idk

unkempt trout
#

what about the part where i don't die on pull

#

even with sb i just evaporate

#

fort trucks

sweet summit
#

do you have logs?

unkempt trout
#

na

sweet summit
#

hard to pinpoint what's going on without logs :/

unkempt trout
#

it was a dos key so i'm not sure how much magic dam

#

is in those packs

mighty valley
#

lots

#

and it can be interrupted

#

by you and dps

unkempt trout
#

even that first pull?

mighty valley
#

yes, there are mages casting Scribe

#

and also you can step away from the bone soldiers casting their weird magic melee thing

unkempt trout
#

should i just be spamming ignore pain as my rage dump

median tulip
#

No

chrome falcon
#

the pulls outside ardenweald and hakkar are scary as fuck if you're not kicking properly

#

even the first pull can be rough if scribes are being spammed

unkempt trout
#

even with 2 piece?

chrome falcon
#

well if you're dying on the pull you're not going to have time to spend 240 rage so yeah

unkempt trout
#

well there isn't anything else defensive wise to spend rage on is there

#

if sb is up

chrome falcon
#

oh sorry i misinterpreted your question

#

yeah if you have rage to dump then IP is your only option

#

but you also want to revenge for SS procs and damage so don't starve yourself

#

but like others said, hard to say without logs

median tulip
#

I always Shield Wall the second platform

#

The first platform isn't too bad

mellow bridge
#

The bonesoldiers in dos truck you with a magic hit that has no cast time

#

Just an instant magic strike

#

You're probably getting shat on by that

median tulip
#

Yeah, it's melee range though, so start with SR up while you grab threat, then Kyrian Spear and leap out

mellow bridge
#

First pull in dos is usually a good instant demo shout + SR for the dr

#

Use ls/trinket as needed

#

SW for 2nd pull usually

#

And yea def feel free to kite after the initial burst is over

#

First pack is very kiteable if needed

mighty valley
#

these days you might be able to go left, so you can blow SW on first pack. but if you're going right, you really really do want SW available there

mellow bridge
#

If you go left after doing first pull, you won't have a good time

#

Unless you wanna do pack + mask together

median tulip
#

Yeah, you could go left. Gotta know your Ardenweald pulls properly if you do that, though

#

The mask doesn't come all the way onto that platform, and you're pulling in that direction to use the pot there anyway

mellow bridge
#

He literally does

#

He walks until almost the stairs

#

Left side mask walks a lot further than right side for whatever reason

median tulip
#

Hmmm, ok. I don't remember that, but it's a very long time since I tried going left

mellow bridge
#

And if you do the first pull first before going left

#

He will be somewhere close to reaching the platform soon depending on your damage

#

So either you have to be willing to pull him with the packs or you need to change your start

#

Like taking Wo in first pack and just skipping that pack for now

#

Or skip first pack and go straight left

#

Don't get me wrong mask with pack is certainly doable

#

But not without planing it properly

median tulip
#

Especially if you can break the pot on the mask

mellow bridge
#

Like if you go in a pug and you randomly do that

#

I wish you good luck

median tulip

Horde player moment

#

TFW all your team left alliance

median tulip
#

Also, from having watch peoples run before, one mistake I see people make in DoS is the group comp. Too many people go full ranged and are too light on the interrupts

#

TBH that's a problem you see in a lot of dungeon groups, but DOS and NW are where a lack of interrupts gets really seen

mighty valley
#

The theory is you Wo and go straight from first pack to ardenweald

median tulip
#

ofc the people also have to use their interrupts

mighty valley
#

seems like you can get some good CD lineups by doing it that way

#

but anyway, too complicated for pugs this early

median tulip
#

There's definitely a lot of space to investigate the possibilities of the Wo buff

unkempt trout
#

is set bonus big for keys

mellow bridge
#

Dos will be one of the biggest Wo dungeons for sure

#

Even just the movement speed is insane to save time

mighty valley
#

set bonus is big for everywhere, but not many people have it yet (well, plenty more will have 2p by the end of this week)

#

what key level are you doing and what ilvl

frosty holly
#

Tanked a DoS earlier. I feel so squish compared to S2. Not sure if it was bad interrupts or just war on spellcaster packs. But anything not pure physical made me feel like paper. Even with CD's up

waxen orbit
#

Whether or not that’s the case depends on a variety of variables you’re leaving out

#

Item level, healer, kicks, SB uptime, ignore pain use, defensive CD use in general, key level, and trinkets, to name a few

unkempt trout
#

16 255

frosty holly
#
  1. Key was 16. SB uptime was nearly 100% for the encounter where i felt i took massvive dmg. Ignore pain cast as often as rage allowed. Only bad part are my trinkets honestly. Don't have a real tank one. Last stand popped first time i dipped low. SW second time. Healer was a shaman.
waxen orbit
#

Honestly you should’ve been fine with that then

frosty holly
#

Didn't check kicks. So could just been tons of cast going through

#

Kinda sad I spent the whole of 9.1 not getting any of that raids tank trinkets. Because they kept going to our raider tanks and all the tank alts they had 💔

waxen orbit
#

That’s probably it. Tanked an 18 earlier and it was a snooze fest (didn’t time by 1 min because DPS and healer turned their brain off for last half of the dungeon)

frosty holly
#

How good is 2 set for tanking? As in a rough estimate. How much survivability does it give us? Because I can get 2 set. But I'd have to re-craft the leggo to be on boots instead of pants

waxen orbit
#

It’s almost entirely a damage increase

#

One occasional ignore pain

#

Lots of rage increase tho

#

So

#

That’s defensive as well

#

Depending on how you utilize it

frosty holly
#

Cheers for the info

sweet summit
#

it gives a fuckton

#

you have so much rage

#

you're forced to spend on IP a lot

#
  • the free IP
frosty holly
#

I'll get working on some Leggo boots then

sweet summit
#

it adds up to a lot

cinder nova
#

Wait...

frosty holly
#

So i can use my tier

sweet summit
#

especially with the CDR guy

cinder nova
#

Dust Flail and Ravening Burrow are blockable

#

what the actual fuck

sweet summit
#

LS with UF is like

#

2 minutes or something

#

which in turn gives EVEN MORE rage

#

and the cycle continues

cinder nova
#

Wait are we going UF over Rep? 🤔

sweet summit
#

(unnerving focus)

#

sorry

#

not clear enough

cinder nova
#

Oh.

#

I was like "oh really? stomp meta back kek"

median tulip
#

You're almost guaranteed to overcap if using LS/UF on a Tier-boosted Shield Slam

sweet summit
#

yea sadge

median tulip
#

First World Problems ofc

sweet summit
#

it's like 90 or so rage

median tulip
#

I think it's over 100 if you get max rank UF

sweet summit
#

am i doing this wrong

median tulip
#

More likely I am

sweet summit
#

it's ~70 with 265 unnerving

#

feels like a lot more than 70 rage lol

median tulip
#

Oh I remember; it's 115 Rage with The Wall, Heavy Repercussions and max rank UF. I knew it could go over 100

sweet summit
#

:weSmart:

median tulip
#

lol

#

It'll be dead on 100 with The Wall

sweet summit
#

only problem is the wall weird

frosty holly
#

Da wall

#

What will be our second leggo btw? Wall or Cov one for pew pew

median tulip
#

TBH I wish they'd made it a Rage-over-time effect. I'm kinda bored of feast-or-famine gameplay

median tulip
sweet summit
#

i'd love reprisal+seismic man...

frosty holly
#

Won't we be able to do another one sometime in the future? I'm so damn sleepy i honestly can't remember

sweet summit
#

nah

frosty holly
#

Dang.

sweet summit
#

yep

frosty holly
#

Oo well. Guess I'll start getting mats for a belt then.

median tulip
#

You get a belt with it on at 265 (?) for free

sweet summit
#

265 yea

frosty holly
#

Tru. Might just keep that for tanking and craft unity on another slot for DPS. Seeing It would clash with EB for arms

#

Another unity that is

sweet summit
#

that's a decent idea

#

idk if u get a socket on the free unity tho detective

frosty holly
#

Now the question is. What is a good slot for unity that works for both Arms and Fury

sweet summit
#

boots/wrists

frosty holly
#

Wrist perhaps.

median tulip
#

I'm going to craft different ones with different stats on

frosty holly
#

Prob wrist then. Seeing EM Needs to be on Boots.

sweet summit
#

unity is EM

frosty holly
#

My brain tiny

#

Leave me alone

sweet summit
#

but you probably mean reprisal?

frosty holly
#

No. Brain just tiny

#

😄

sweet summit
#

o ok

frosty holly
#

I could blame lack of sleep again. But smol brain wins

median tulip
#

Reprisal on Boots; I might well put Unity on Ring

#

I could do wrists or neck though. The benefits of having a max rank Jewelcrafter and Blacksmith

frosty holly
#

Have both in guild thank god. So just need to bring the mats I've made 5 291 so far. Haven't costed me much. Unless one factors in the gold one could have made from selling mats

median tulip
#

I could even do cloak, as I have a tailor as well

frosty holly
#

Should prob waited with doing EM on boots. But wanted it for progress. So will just have to eat that mats loss. I blame my first tier piece being pants

sweet summit
#

same bro sadge

#

also made 291 reprisal and signet too

frosty holly
#

About to make reprisal on boots now so i can actually use my 2 set if i tank.

sweet summit
#

oh, and EB pepsihands

#

so much gold spent this patch already :/

frosty holly
#

EB is kinda hardstuck to be on belt until you have all other tier pieces. So I'm fine with that

sweet summit
#

yeah

median tulip
#

Is it week 8 that you can trade in non-tier pieces for tier?

sweet summit
#

i believe so

frosty holly
#

That's when I'll start caring about tier for alts then xD

sweet summit
#

same

frosty holly
#

Really don't wana pug. Even if normal aint to bad

sweet summit
#

also same xd

#

my plan is to get lucky vaults deswind

frosty holly
#

Wup 262 In tank gear now with 291 Rep on boots. Sadly no real tank trinket yet

median tulip
#

Even if you don't get tier from vault, if it offers you a 278 non-tier piece in a tier slot there's a strong reason for taking it ahead of week 8

frosty holly
#

Mm

cinder nova
sweet summit
#

i had completely forgotten that exists

cinder nova
#

Is that a no?

sweet summit
#

does not sim better for me so that is a no

cinder nova
#

Wait.

#

Question

#

At what rating or % does Vers and Crit start DRing

#

Since they share value for DPS I figure if I've DR'd one into the ceiling it'd be better to enchant/socket the other.

sweet summit
#

35x30 (crit) = 1050 rating
40x30 (vers) = 1200 rating

cinder nova
#

Those are the ratings?

sweet summit
#

cinder nova
#

lol nevermind im nowhere near either

#

Well

#

less than 100 from crit

urban portal
#

The more crit mastery you have the less you have to press block

tender oyster
mighty valley
#

DR happens in phases

#

Like, Haste starts to fall off at 30%, but still prob your best stat til 40%

#

The other stats are all close enough that you shouldn't worry too much unless one of them gets enormous

tender oyster
#

ok thank you

#

Also any prot warriors on world first attempts for any guilds?

Why is "Best served cold" prefered over Booming voice? It seems like booming voice brings way more utility and can do stronger bursts with voice + avatar + spear of bastion

strong forum
#

Revenge is a huge part of your dmg

median tulip
strong forum
#

And you get the benefit from reprisal

#

So you very frequently get the +50% dmg buff to revenge

#

Which will out-do BV in dmg

#

Starting with 4p you will start using BV again solely because of the increase in rage gen, because that's the endgame for pwar. Maximise rage gain to get more and more outburst procs

tropic linden
#

One mistake i found is i used almost no execute

strong forum
#

You're not pressing enough buttons in generals SS and TC are both low
You have a very high usage of IP

jagged pier
#

also running HR, u shouldnt be running that

#

and when u get teir set u 100% dont run it ever

strong forum
#

You only generated 3.9k rage in a 7min40sec fight

#

When the R1 log generated 2.5k rage in a 3min53sec fight

#

Meaning you're generating around 40% less rage than you should

#

Your cpm of SS should be around 17 but it's only at 12 which is a huge factor

jagged pier
#

13-17

#

depends on boss

#

there are point when your not hitting hal

#

on somthing like skolex 17ish for sure

strong forum
#

I guess cuz their kill time is so much slower?

jagged pier
#

maybe i mean im around 14 on halondrus but i actually run around and soak stuff cause dps are mongos

#

and i move away on intermissions

#

cause dps need 'the room'

#

like 16-18 if your 100% uptime

#

but alot of bosses u do actually get like small regular bits of downtime

#

which adds up

tropic linden
#

i have 13% haste, maybe that's the reason my SS casts are low? Because i put my log in wowanalyzer and said that i somehow casted more SB than i should be able to

sweet summit
#

it's low because you're barely pressing revenge

tropic linden
#

I'm a little afraid cause i'm 231

#

How much block% is normal runing AM? 85%?

strong forum
#

In raid it should be close to 100%

#

should but doesn't have to

#

Cuz more often than not its fine to take a few hits without SB up in raid

jagged pier
#

everywhere

wild hemlock
#

oh shit cool

blazing condor
#

Even for seismic?

tropic linden
#

I don't get BV over DR in ST, the flexibility to use the dmg reduction from BV whenever you want instead of using on CD and not having for a big spike for me at least is huge.

#

And DR also gives rage

blazing condor
#

BV gives you damage% gain

#

Big dps

jagged pier
#

and 20% isnt much DR

#

u get more out of it using it on CD

than holding it for a 1 time thing

Are people running the Wall for Skolex? I usually run reprisal for everything but I’m getting smashed by that boss and finding windows to actually make use of Reprisal when I’m anchored next to him and my co-tank seem limited, so that seemed like a good alternative.

strong forum
#

Do what you need to do if you can't get value out of reprisal you're better off running wall

#

Easiest would be just to check logs for legendary choice imo

@sweet summit Thanks for posting MDT routes. Do you have one for DOS? I'm still trying to get a handle on how to pull Ardenweald, like where to tank packs so DPS doesn't accidentally pull in Matriarchs. 😫

you can chain the yellow pack into shard, rogues and mages will love you

SS is still more damage

Asked in general but didn't get much back. If I play Arms and Fury for both Raid and M+ and also play Prot in M+, where would you recommend I put Memory of Unity and with what stats? I'm thinking Reprisal on boots, Signet on ring, Enduring Blow on Waist, Deathmaker(?) on back. Unity on other ring feels "safe" because it wont overlap with tier. But helm or legs would be better? Crit/Haste good for arms, decent for prot, subpar for fury but not too big of a loss?

wrist haste crit i think

2 set only

from the 2 set alone there assuming no overcapping and only using SS with outburst that is 5 670 rage gained

wait no

that's a lie

Does "more effective" include threat gen? Or is it just rage gen/dam?

not including unnerving focus

What do you guys do if you're kinda sitting on a DCD for too long, but aren't confident in the group's ability to handle a bigger pull?

dcd?

latent pier
#

defensive cooldown

#

last stand and wall

sweet summit
#

i'm not sitting on cooldowns

#

last stand is an offensive cooldown with unnerving

#

shield wall is used to dampen hard hitting attacks and/or cover for gaps in shield block

latent pier
#

I find myself sitting on wall too long sometimes when my health bar just straight up isn't moving that much. But when I'm not confident in the group's ability to handle more Idk what to really do with that. I'll start using LS offensively though, that sounds good.

ionic fern
#

Don't stress about it.
I'm pretty sure i used SW Like once in the last dungeon i did.

#

Or just pull bigger.

that's my go-to when I'm confident xD

What would be the ultimate defensive setup in keys (because of bad play and an inexperienced healer)?
Necrolord/heavy repercussions?

With reprisal

i think so

not sure if necro or kyrian is better defensively in keys

overall necro is prob better with good fleshcraft usage ?

There’s not much else to do tho I guess. Warriors feel more flimsy this expansion

Compared to say, Druids or brew

I think thats just because you cant actually heal yourself vs the other tank but you definitely are not taking more damage

if you play correctly

Next hes gonna tell you to reroll to something "tankier"

Na i think his GM thinks you can't press other buttons during charge

sturdy sable
#

strong forum

That would be my suspicion

#

Even so like the gcd is done before you even get to a boss if you charge at max range

It's a dumb thing to assume, but it's the least dumb reason I can come up with

What else is this GM asking of people

"don't play evangelism on priest, it's only a few seconds of atonement"

vernal vale
#

He legit thinks the paladin cannot get threat because of me charging

#

He also thinks that going necro once I get 4p and double legendary is the wrong choice

distant crystal
#

tell him it's not charge but you'll stop using it

#

then pump your face off w/o charging

#

w/ combat pots

sturdy sable
#

Tell the pally to hit his buttons
