Ask him for me

strong forum
#

Out of curiosity

#

What difficulty are you raiding at

distant crystal
#

also the easiest fix for that is just you taking boss first right

sturdy sable
#

But the warrior isnt the "maintank"

vernal vale

strong forum
distant crystal
#

look at me

sturdy sable
#

10 bucks thats the reason

strong forum
#

You can't be serious

distant crystal
#

i'm the maintank now

sturdy sable
#

LMAO i was right again

strong forum
#

This is too dumb I can't make that up

sturdy sable
#

Tell this gm to come to prot chat so we can tear him a new one

vernal vale
#

We are doing heroic.

sturdy sable
#

And maybe get a new guild master/raid team

#

If thats whats leading you guys

strong forum
#

I'd get the fuck out of there real quick

distant crystal
#

You can be diplomatic and just say that warrior seems to do more dmg right out the gate so it'd be better if you take boss first

#

it's not a main/off tank thing on who gets boss first anyway lol

strong forum
#

Maintank/offtank haven't existed for the better of 10 years

distant crystal
#

idk you still see that a lot tho lol

#

tanks jockeying for the alpha role

#

telling the other tank how to do stuff and taking the harder mechanics for themselves when they exist

jagged pier
strong forum
#

but i also tell my cotank to tank specific things more when they suit his class better

#

play to your classes strengths

distant crystal
#

Nome is MT confirmed

#

😄

mighty valley
#

Paladin can't hold threat and the GM decides it's because of... charge???

jagged pier
#

@strong forum is sigma tank

strong forum
#

hell yeah

distant crystal
#

I'm the ligma tank

strong forum
#

who's the fugma tank

distant crystal
#

but if I was that pally i'd be /w telling the other guy to take boss first

jagged pier
#

im the DN tank

distant crystal
#

so we can change the convo from my shit dps

#

kek

mighty valley
#

tell this gm they're beating his ass in the warrior discord

#

i feel like im missing somthig

distant crystal
strong forum
#

im kinda fascinated that people will blame as much as they can on class

#

instead of player

jagged pier
#

bit they have a smooth

strong forum
#

thats like blaming a car for being slow when the driver isnt changing gears

jagged pier
#

🧠

strong forum
#

like... what

jagged pier
#

wait someone being blamed for somthing?

mighty valley
#

yeah, guy came in and said his GM is telling him not to charge on pull

west walrus
#

I depleted a mists, because everyone was waiting for me to put a skull on EACH clone :D

#

I died, rip :D

mighty valley
#

wait what do you even mean

jagged pier
#

second boss

#

ppl in pugs cant do it

mighty valley
#

putting a skull on all four???

jagged pier
#

on the one u need to kill

mighty valley
#

oh the allcaps each confused me

distant crystal
#

as usual the answer is to use charge

signal plover
#

Each set* ayyyy

distant crystal
#

charge to the kill target clone ez visual

mighty valley
#

tbh just hotkey skull marker

#

figure it out and charge to it

west walrus
#

Yeah, a fox was too close, my bad x)

distant crystal
#

then charge back to barely kick pattycake in time

#

actually charging away is how you get other people pattycaked i think

mighty valley
#

i don't think pattycake can ever target someone else if you're alive

distant crystal
#

it can

#

i got it on my disc priest

#

that was terrifying

#

"Guess I'll just die?"

mighty valley
#

huh, i've been pretty far away and she's still cast it at me

distant crystal
#

unless they fixed it ig

#

this was middle of last season ish

jagged pier
#

yer priest must have had aggro or somthing

#

its not a fervent strike

mighty valley
#

something going hella wrong if disc priest has aggro

west walrus
#

Late S2, I was once unable to cut, because too far away :D

distant crystal
#

yeah was gonna say no shot i had aggro tho lol

jagged pier
#

well if u died and didnt have arrgo yet @mighty valley

distant crystal
#

the tank had like lept across the room to get an explosive or something

mighty valley
#

anyway back to "don't charge because our paladin can't do damage"

mellow bridge
#

I've had pattycake go on someone else too

#

but only if I was reaaaaally far away for w/e reason

#

prolly 40y+

any tips on how to not to be thin?

i have 26% versa 24% haste idk why im like paper thin

Press your buttons

either you, your healer, or your dps

chilly brook
#

Stats don't matter

quaint glade
#

i mean my shield and ip on cds

strong forum
#

its not that simple

tropic linden
#

you don't IP on cd

plush tendon
#

Should link some logs

quaint glade
#

i will if ill finish one dungeon xd

plush tendon
#

yea, even a untimed log would work; would help people here see what you are doing, whats killing you, and what couldve been done to deal with those situations

#

as well as fix any rotational mistakes or wasted resource/CDs

quaint glade
#

Understood will log it now then

plush tendon
#

but stats are like >5% of the reason you are dying

mighty valley
#

Most common problems are overcapping rage, underusing Reprisal, overusing IP, randomly turning your back on enemies and not realizing

#

or it's group/healer stuff

plush tendon
#

a big one is spell reflect and interrupts

quaint glade
#

I mean I’m not saying I’m good ofc, but there were couple dungs that went very smooth TOP and PF 14+s

raven hatch
#

how do i check rage wasted in details

quaint glade
#

But yeah I should log my runs

#

Or even record idk

plush tendon
raven hatch
#

was in a mythic+ though

plush tendon
#

you can log M+

mighty valley
#

If some runs are smooth and some you feel like paper, that's probably because of missed interrupts

plush tendon
#

people dont cause they forget to have em running, but you can log our personal M+

tropic linden
mighty valley
#

it always goes
"why am I so weak"
"what dungeon"
"DOS/Halls"
"well......"

#

I have a halls 10 to do today 🙂 i'm 231. Hope it works out

plush tendon
quaint glade
#

Also, trinket from gambit is it ok for prot or better to farm scale?

jagged pier
mighty valley
#

well yeah, but people do those pulls, wipe, group falls apart because everyone blames tank

#

that's what i'm saying

quaint glade
#

I have the trinket from the Nine aegis or what is it called

plush tendon
#

Aegis is good

#

Haste trinkets also good

#

Phil good as well

quaint glade
#

Scale won’t drop…

plush tendon
#

Scale is aight, I think Aegis is better though

mighty valley
#

if you value your sanity don't hard-farm specific items in this loot system

quaint glade
#

I have Phil and haste trinket from soa

mighty valley
#

just do your keys for the week and hope for vault

#

the chance per run is so low

jagged pier
#

its not gear

#

please log

#

and send

quaint glade
#

And Anima trinket from sd

quaint glade
plush tendon
#

Phial and Haste from SoA is fine

quaint glade
#

So aegis+ phil?

plush tendon
#

if you have a Aegis, replace the haste trinket with that

Just drop logs in here after key

is there an addon for warcraft logs

chilly brook

they have a client

Log upload or smth like that

# raven hatch is there an addon for warcraft logs

How do i log ?
So, if you have been here for a while, you may have noticed that whenever somebody ask for advice we ask them for a log, and if you’re new you might have no idea what that means or how to get one so :

🔸 First, download Loggerhead (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/loggerhead) or ERT (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/exorsus-raid-tools)

Once you have one of these any time you enter a zone where you might want a log (ie dungeon/raid/torghast) these addons will automatically start logging (in the case of ERT you have to activate automated logging in the options).
Alternatively if you don’t want to install an addon for it, whenever you are going to do an activity you want to log type /combatlog in chat to start logging said activity.
Remember to activate advanced logging in the options (System -> Network -> Advanced Combat Logging)
All these options will store your logs in your wow file inside the retail folder and the log file.

🔸 Second, go here (https://www.warcraftlogs.com/client/download) download the client. Select the live section of the client, select the upload a log button and select the fight you’re interested in putting up as a log and boom you’re done.

🔸 Third, once you’ve done all this, your log is uploaded you can put it up here and we can look at it together to see if you’re doing something wrong.

If you wish look at your own log Jakey made a nice little video explaining what we look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1tRp8lULT8

Just a quick guide of the few big things you should look at when reviewing logs as a prot warrior. Hopefully you find it useful :)

one more question, has anyone seen the addon that makes LFG way easier to read with respect of RIO etc? I've seen Tattman with it

tropic linden
#

I use a weakaura

#

It's rlly good

#

It organize the groups by IO order

#

same thats why i have it saved

blazing condor
#

how do i log?

oblique garnet
chilly brook
#

How do I read?

vernal vale
#

So, yeah GM says charging on skolex is causing melee to get hit now. >.<

oblique garnet
#

Yeah you cant charge on skolex

oblique garnet
#

Because the tank combo is the same as sludge

#

Where you need to be on top of your cotank

blazing condor
#

just run out during his slam peepoHappy

chilly brook
#

Just make your cotank charge

vernal vale
#

It's not during tank combo. It's on pu

chilly brook
#

on normal melee

vernal vale
#

Paladin door of shadows in. Beats me to boss.

chilly brook
#

it's like sludge

oblique garnet
chilly brook
#

except you have to separate on tank busters

#

What class is your cotank?

oblique garnet
vernal vale
#

Cotank is paladin.

oblique garnet
#

If dps is back on the boss before

lofty widget
#

charge range is 8 yds so you can charge weave?

chilly brook
vernal vale
#

That is the question.

chilly brook
#

Just charge in when his door cast is like at 0.3 seconds

#

left

vernal vale
#

Skolex hit box is huge too.

#

So really don't understand what he is claiming.

chilly brook
#

I mean it's simple

#

you have to be within 10 yards of whoever has aggro

#

which is prolly gonna be the paladin

#

so charge

#

but do it before his door of shadows completes

vernal vale
#

Already doing that.

chilly brook
#

Then someone is messing up positioning

#

either you two aren't close enough

#

or some dps is too close

vernal vale
#

Most likely GM leaping in on his demon hunter

chilly brook
#

put a marker down

#

and position yourself so you charge to said marker

#

paladin should door onto marker

vernal vale
#

Also already doing that.

chilly brook
#

Then melee need to wait like half a second

jagged pier
vernal vale
#

I'm gonna look at logs to see what the fuck nonsense my GM is talking about. See what melee is supposedly getting hit.

#

Ultimately he doesn't want me charging any bosses anymore.

shut summit
vernal vale
#

Which I told him is stupid.

sturdy sable
#

Shit may as well craft the wall then lmao

vernal vale
#

I havent used wall since nathria

chilly brook
#

Bruh the only time I've died on Skolex is when I didn't wait like a quarter second to charge back into boss on knockback

jagged pier
#

this is legit the dumb thing ive read in here in a long time

sturdy sable
#

Does he know its like

#

Your whole schtick?

chilly brook
#

melee can afford to wait a second

#

link log

#

@vernal vale

real fossil
mighty valley
#

what the fuck does your pull look like. this is absolutely baffling

real fossil
#

Y’all ever see a dh meta himself to death by jumping early?

latent pier
#

the last time a melee waited, we got WoD.

mighty valley
#

but this is the opposite, claiming that melee are getting hit because the warrior is going in TOO FAST

#

my brain is collapsing

chilly brook
#

and the melee hit is going out before paladin gets there or woyer gets there

mighty valley
#

and the GM is just randomly blaming charge?

chilly brook
#

I mean it's as simple as melee just wait

#

one lost gcd isn't going to make the difference

mighty valley
#

yeah just pull on 1 and melee go on 0

#

i just don't know what's going on in this GM's mind

vernal vale
#

So yeah it looks like it's mostly demon hunter getting slapped.

jagged pier
#

why is the paladin doing 2.9k

vernal vale
#

Paladin is having problems managing tank combo and off healing a lot.

jagged pier
#

oomg hes not press SoTR

vernal vale
#

I know I'm using ignore pain too much.

#

Other than that I don't feel like I'm playing that bad.

mighty valley
#

don't worry, you're clearly one of the more competent people in this raid and your GM is blaming random shit

#

i'm sure we could find mistakes but this paladin is legit just not pushing buttons

jagged pier
#

well no hes putting the blame on the wrong person

#

if a tanks struggling to hold aggro its that tanks fault

#

for not playing correct

#

holding threat is never an issue

vernal vale
#

I'm already saying imma start calling taunts next week to fix the tank combo issue. He's not managing it well.

mighty valley
#

has your guild done any on normal?

chilly brook
#

so a few things

vernal vale
#

Yeah, we have don't up to anduin on normal.

chilly brook
#

DH needs to watch his positioning

#

he shouldn't stand on tanks

#

2

#

you killed your lock

#

stay with your cotank

#

don't leap

#

don't intervene

#

to stack point

#

that's bad

vernal vale
#

Fair enough. I'll make that change.

chilly brook
#

he'll just melee the next highest threat target and then hit whoever is within 10 yards of him

#

just run out on top of your cotank

mighty valley
#

get back that sludgefist brain

chilly brook
#

This is right after knockback

#

your melee need to chill

#

and so do you

#

stay with your cotank unless you like getting hit twice

mighty valley
#

looks like the arms warrior also needs to chill on charge

chilly brook
#

ye

#

That's what I'm sayin

#

melee need to chill

#

you can still charge

#

but stay with the paladin or charge as he's running in so you time it to arrive at the same time

mighty valley
#

hopefully paladin horses forward and you charge to get there at the same time

chilly brook
#

^

vernal vale
#

I don't think I've seen paladin horse once.

jagged pier
vernal vale
#

I need to look at logs closer on my computer. Phone web webrowser doesn't like logs.

chilly brook
#

Again

#

your DH has a death wish

mighty valley
#

i mean, just communicate, the goals are just both of you get there before melee

chilly brook
#

why is he standing on your paladin

mighty valley
#

it's just heroic so it's kinda ok to just walk in together, but better if you use the movement abilities god gave you

vernal vale
#

Good question why he's on the paladin there.

chilly brook
#

Same thing

mighty valley
#

How is he even getting there, what on earth

chilly brook
#

you leaping out kills ret paladin

vernal vale
#

I can easily stop leaping to reach the stack point.

jagged pier
#

u and the other tank have to leave last

#

but melee should move before u

#

we've killed melee cause they dont move

#

not our fault

chilly brook
#

your dh and your arms warrior have a bad habit of being on boss before tanks

#

and your dh has a really bad habit of standing on tanks randomly

#

Also when stack is called like Jakey said melee leave

#

it's on them to leave

#

as soon as that's called

vernal vale
#

I'll just call him out next time if he's on either of us.

chilly brook
#

so it looks like it's a two sided coin here

#

melee need to stop being spergs

#

and as long as you make the adjustment to not leave your cotank in the dust when stacking it should be gucci

vernal vale
#

Easy adjustment on my end.

mighty valley
#

stuff to work on but worth noting "charging on pull is getting melee killed" still makes no sense at all

jagged pier
#

charging on pull youll just get melee'd twice

vernal vale
#

Yeah, it's not just that boss he doesn't want me charging for pull.

chilly brook
vernal vale
#

He insists the paladin should always take the boss first.

mighty valley
#

you're outdps'ing this paladin on every fight, why not just take it

chilly brook
#

but uhh

#

maybe he needs to tell the paladin to press his buttons

#

Idk

#

Just doesn't seem like a worthwhile guild

waxen orbit
#

^

vernal vale
#

I have no issue letting the paladin take the boss first but telling me not to charge is dumb

chilly brook
#

Assuming you care about clearing the content

waxen orbit
#

Charge generates like, zero threat. Your RL is eating glue right now

mighty valley
#

I mean... what's the justification for paladin taking boss first if it means you have to slow DPS to make it happen

#

whoever bursts harder can just be 1st tank, it's not a big deal

#

(though this paladin could be doing way more)

vernal vale
#

He firmly believes the paladin mitigates everything better.

chilly brook
#

I mean

waxen orbit
#

Or paladin can spam taunt off CD if he (for some reason) can’t take aggro despite having way higher damage potential than prot warrior

chilly brook
#

you could try to make that argument

cinder pasture
#

Tell your GM to stop simping for the pally

chilly brook
#

but oldboy has 57% uptime on consecrate

mighty valley
#

gm has metabrain

chilly brook
#

and 57% uptime on SoTR

mighty valley
#

and not "what players am i actually working with" brain

chilly brook
#

He's not mitigating shit

vernal vale
#

Paladin is an officer in the guild.

mighty valley
#

are these people your friends, do you have any attachment to this guild

waxen orbit
#

Dawg if you don’t got emotional attachment, leave

#

That’s a recipe for disaster

chilly brook
waxen orbit
#

Take it from the dude who over 10 years has been in 12+ guilds

chilly brook
#

PaLaDiN mItIgAtEs BeTtEr

vernal vale
#

I've known several of the players here for over a decade its the only reason I'm here.

mighty valley
#

the idea of "officers" in a guild of friends is so wack to me

jagged pier
#

☝️

#

i loved my old guild im playing with them right now

#

but i wanted faster progress

#

had to move

vernal vale
#

I was looking at a guild for a while but they told me flatout I'd sit on a bench until they cleared mythic last tier.

mighty valley
#

well if you generally like a lot of these people, you just gotta work on getting to a place where you can communicate on what's wiping you without weird gamer feelings getting in the way

#

will probably help if you offer up where you're making mistakes as part of it

dark lark
#

And be willing to flex roles if you need to

chilly brook
#

Idk I don’t deal well with people making comments about the class I chose to play being the issue because some misguided bs that they assume instead of trying to have a dialogue about what’s happening

distant crystal
#

guilds kinda love someone who wants to tank but plays offspec/offrole to get a spot

#

we had a tank main join us and play boomy at the end of last tier, worked his way into a tank spot now

dark lark
mighty valley
#

it's just a worthless way of looking at progress, you have the players you have, find out how to handle the actual problems in a rational way

#

i'm spoiled, just raid with friends who don't stress about what class everyone wants to play

vernal vale
#

I dps if I have to. Far prefer tank. I played dps all last tier.

chilly brook
#

Annoys the shit out of me

vernal vale
#

Imma point out that yes I was making a mistake by leaping.

#

And then imma share that he was literally standing on us.

mighty valley
#

you don't even need to make it a personal callout if that's gonna make things weird

dark lark
#

Since we're on the subject of Skolex, do we have to actively maintain block when we're the off tank? I've been doing so anyway and then stressing when I start running out of uptime

mighty valley
#

just "people are standing on tanks sometimes and getting killed, would it help if we had marks on us" or something

chilly brook
#

Like probably gonna sound super ego but when I was tanking I was orange/pink parsing and had multiple dialogues with healers (just making sure I wasn’t overtaxing them or to see if they’d prefer I do anything different) and the answer was usually “nah you’re super easy to heal we barely heal you”

mighty valley
#

just... without ego or trash talk, identify problems, talk constructively on how to fix

chilly brook
#

So when people who have 0 idea what they’re talking about go out of their way to say stupid things it drives me up a wall

mighty valley
#

and if all you get back is unsubstantiated garbage, well

mighty valley
#

hit da bricks

chilly brook
#

Just like sludgefist

chilly brook
#

When you see higher end guilds go about addressing the problem they either have the insight to say “hey this is happening what can we do to not have it happen”

#

Or they ask “hey what’s going on here, what can we do?”

#

How you approach a problem is 95% of the battle

jagged pier
#

well as revenge reset SS it is needed

#

its more rage to use on everything

strong forum
#

more revenge = more SS = more rage = more dam = more surv

vernal vale
#

@tender oyster basically revenge has a chance to reset shield slam. Letting you hit it more often which generates more rage to be used. Spamming ignore pain when you already have it going adds little to no value. Thus the rage is better spent on revenge

#

I'm sure some better people than I can get even more detailed on the reasons why.

tender oyster
#

Does adding to ignore pain not add to the value it helps prevent though? Its not timed as SB is but instead has a numerical value, so as long as youre not overcapping IP and still have SB up, would it not be better to use on IP?

#

I am also trying to understand how/when to use Ip. So please help me out if my thinking is incorrect

strong forum
#

IP is a very small dmg buffer and mainly rage dump

#

thats it

#

it doesnt make you tanky

vernal vale
#

The thing is ignore pain is off the gcd so it's an easy button to hit in that time. Which is my problem more often than not. That also means it's easy to throw one as one falls off.

jagged pier
#

but it prevents damage C:

strong forum
#

you use IP when you wanna dump rage and when you know when youre going to take alot of dmg

#

thats it

vernal vale
#

^

strong forum
#

you dont treat is as a maintenance buff

#

ive done several mythic fights without using IP

#

because i know what im doing and pumped everything into revenge

vernal vale
#

Try to break habit of hitting it just because you can. That's what I'm currently working on.

hey guys. i understand ilvl over anything is the rule most of the time. just a question about our stats. i have 34% haste (1139), 18% vers (729), 26% mastery (337)and 6% crit (58). i dropped alot of crit due to getting haste/vers gear. im still gemming and enchanting haste on my gear. am i doing the right thing?

mighty valley
#

Yeah looks fine

trim bay
#

sweet thanks. wasnt sure if the haste was or could be wasted

mighty valley
#

you're in a little bit of diminishing returns but it's still probably best stat til 40% unbuffed

trim bay
#

ok thanks for the info. appreciate it

Is it worth leveling up the other covenants even though kyrian seems the best right now for both raid and mythic plus

cinder nova
#

Yes.

#

Necrolord will be pretty strong at 4P + 2L

#

It provides more overall damage at your expense, but also it's big chunky hits with bannerplay

mighty valley

kyrian and NF are close enough that I wouldn't worry about it unless you get bored

necro has definite value though yeah

What kinda ilevel do you guys think is req. for doing 15s? I know that's a broad question but just kinda trying to benchmark a bit

required is hard to tell, but 15s should be decently doable at 250

better people will be able to do it at lower ilvl

Got kicked from a +12 SD after all bosses were dead and 99% trash, kicked me while we looked for a bat. They claimed I deserved it for my route causing us to deplete the key.

We spent way too long doing boss two bc pally healer (key holder who kicked me) died from manifestation puddle RIGHT after we committed BL, Ashen, and all CDs.

Their big brain dps hunter friend kept pulling for me bc “I wasn’t pulling large enough” which resulted in them and healer friend dying from failure dmg every large pull LOL.

Only question is do you have quest progress

if the key is started and finished it doesnt matter if theres a group that finishes, it counts for everyone who started it

If a dps starts a pull. That’s harder for the tank right, bc the tank now has to play more offensively to take that snap threat away?

depends on the dps

cuz i remember BM MD not doing anything

cuz its technically not the hunter that does the dmg

so he doesnt redirect anything

I think the best way to time pugs Rn is just take the pulls a little smaller there is plenty of time when doing 15 and lower

These dps still living in 3 weeks ago though

craggy pilot
#

is 255 shield worth spending valor to upgrade?

blazing condor
#

kinda expensive to upgrade it fully

#

but if you dont think you'll have much else to upgrade then go for it

#

jewlery is relatively cheap

#

but you can only get 750 valor a week (unless thats changed)

#

so spend wisely

jagged pier
#

Personally i dont spend valir early in the season unless i hit like a wall of content because box will replace eventually

craggy pilot
#

ye ok

#

but then box will replace everything 😄

#

then just save Valor for specific trinkets?

blazing condor
#

i would do that

#

for things i know will be """"Bis"""" or whatever

aka specific items

not just item upgrades

cus those will come

fire mage scales really well with Urh

Frost needs decently sized pulls to get enough resets now

the funniest part about tier lists is they're immediately invalidated when rwf actually begins

#

most specs have seen pulls already

waxen orbit
#

They aren’t invalidated

#

RWF is entirely reliant on what is needed in a specific situation

sweet summit
#

tier lists are invalidated because it is a stupid format and it is dumb and stupid and only made for $$$

mighty valley
#

right

#

every guild is in an extremely specific situation with different players

waxen orbit
#

I can agree it’s a dumb format

#

But if it’s, say, a M+ tier list rated based on utility offered, then it can have its perks

Not something to base your decision on

But there are niche situations where a tier list can be a reference point
