yes
u should not ever be venthyr as prot
Rip. That 20k bubble sounded attractive.
well u can do that
and i was using it like that for like the first week
now its just been in defensve mode for like 2 weeks
๐
Pretty sure it's lit for m+
its like 2.5ppm right
might be good for raid too no?
I feel like you need double on use for higher keys in m+
not great; better trinkets for us then Codex
yeah?
better off with a OWS or another stat plus BSS/Aegis
don't have 259 ows unofrunately
I guess the best place to look at codex is its ok, just nothing special and will be replaced by other stuff
looking for a good passive trinket to go along with the on use in raid
246 one works
well, later in the tier, I bet people will be running mythic sylv runs
considering with all the extra damage, should be very easy
since all strenth classes+rogues still need stuff off her
defensively its better than RDM but it will do no damage for us
it's extremely underwhelming 
I did actually get to play some prot yesterday; thought our tier set would be 'underwhelming'. Was happily surprised ๐ was super fun to play with
Itโs fun for sure
So much rage, so much fun
Way more fun in raid than in M+ but thatโs prolly just because you can afford to be more goofy in raid
Side note
Tfw you would have timed a 20 ToP but when you hit Shield Wall for a Reaping Scythe (SR was on CD), it takes 5 seconds for the cast to go through despite playing on 70 home ping (???) and then it refunds your cast and you die from Scythe because of the game shitting itself
AAA company coding

its the anduin lag that i dont like
in Gambit, people on disc trying to warn about fishsticks fast is just hillarious
@waxen orbit We nearly timed a 20 streets but the Shuri circle spawned directly on top of the only portal we had access to and there was nothing we could do to survive 
i just made a huge cast bar weak aura for fish sticks
makes sound too
and just press shockwave

Looks like I might be raid tanking to replace our MT. Weโre on normal Andi -atm. Are the guides in pins up to date?

yessir
biggest normal anduin tip is the downstairs teams actually need to do good
if you're like "wow the intermissions are really fucking us up" people aren't getting the bar filled

you can spell reflect the reaping scythe too
not every single one
yah one out of 2
other need defensive
normally i keep sw for when its the one during the suction

Sounds about Blizz
Hey, I am trying to help my guild warrior tank and wanted to know what is the ideal uptime for shield block/ignore pain on a tank and spank boss. What other things are typical mistakes that we can check for and fix?
Also put in a log here 
yep
What's he dying to
Random melees, tank hit, or something else
Tanks should never die to random melees
Like mentioned shield block uptime is a generally useless metric
We need logs or gameplay to be able to really tell you valuable information
is LFR tier set better than 278? ๐ค thinking for my alts where im not gonna raid a lot
4pc worth a whole whole lotta ilvls
lfr tier > no tier
but also your slow alts will eventually be able to turn 278s into tier
while also doing vaults
ye tru
mostly big attacks from boss, example riftmaw > rend on skolex
Then he needs to assign CDs for himself
Riftmaw can be spell reflected
what about ignore pain? assuming he can use more surv, shud ignore pain be close to 100% or not really?
only on normal
Oh right ๐
Ignore pain is a meme
It doesnโt last long enough to even be close to 100% uptime
IP is for paddinng healing
Nor does it do enough to even warrant pumping enough rage into it to try
Honestly
Just link us logs
fair enuf, that helps ๐ will link logs too for more help
Assign himself shield wall, shout, etc
Id imagine you can get away with a big tank hit with just shout and 2 ignore pains
not really on skolex
If he can't he needs to call for externals
It's his job to call for it not healers job to figure out when he needs it
to unlock the unity belt do i need to do quest in zentis on each toon or one toon
Yes
which is faster for an alt
i came back like a week ago so im doing shit from nottin
U wanna do campaign
yeah i mailed the shit to make a 6 already to the alt
And go do the world quests
Until revered so u can put it in better slots
To my understanding
yeah you'll only use the belt until you've got 4pc from everything but your best legendary slot
fuck i hate rep grinds for shit i just wanna pvp on a few toons
for us we're gonna craft it on head ideally
if you just care about pvp doing the story chapters will get you double legendary quickest
Im going to be revered next week doong only patterns and world quests 3 days out of the week. Not really a rep grind
Im already revered and ive only been doing dailies the weekly and the odd rare
Yeah this is literally the least grindy patch weve had in a long time.
you don't understand. no one should have to play the game to get all the stuff
i should simply be able to be fully geared without doing anything, for no reason

This is not true if you have the set
In what regards?
Like you still use it to not cap
You will kinda have to spam it
And you use it to help smooth damage if intake is high
But it's not a "fix"
Like a lot of people think
Because youre generating way too much rage to just dump into revenge
Its honestly pretty great
But it's not a form of mitigation that magically fixes mistakes or damage intake
That's what I mean by "it's a meme"
Because people have some sort of idea that you're using it as a magic form of mitigation that fixes issues that usually are not using CDs or not blocking
ye ur actually immortal
unless you just
hard afk
also
do u have any logs
of nf keys

Ive been mostly playing kyrian in the recent dungeons ive done just because i cba swapping covenant everytime between raid and m+ and then coming to ZM to change conduits
Also find me a group and ill tank keys rn
what cov is best for keys

turns out 50% DR is actually pretty good if you have to mash it constantly to avoid overcap
Who woulda thunk
it's true that new warriors overprioritize
and run themselves dry
but "it's a meme" makes it sound like you shouldn't press it/it doesn't do anything
is there like an "ideal" m+ opener, i feel like i get trucked by any magic damage
should i just spam ignore pain
well keeping up sb
Spell reflect if you're getting hit by magic damage
Kick bolts after SR is down
Spam revenge
Shield slam when low on rage
IP when you're getting hit really hard
why revenge over ip if i'm getting trucked
You can spam IP
But if you're getting trucked in the opener and you immediately dump all rage into IP
Sounds like you're either not having SB up, getting hit in the side/back, not using other CDs to mitigate, or your healer is AFK
What keys are you getting trucked in the beginning of a pull?
it was mainly last week on fort
And what level of key and what's your gear look like?
but like dos
First pull on DOS you should always use Shield Wall in that opener or when shit gets hairy
And spell reflect first Shadowcore
Kick second
And have DPS rotate kicks accordingly
Yeah you have 4 set you shouldn't be having any issues
Uh why ascended vigor?
It's a separate thing but why that and not CG?
Overkill
Go CG or sin rev
What in particular was trucking you at first in the DOS? Scribe casts? Shadowcore?
Because the Scribe casts shouldn't hurt that much, and if you ever get hit by a shadowcore, that's a misplay on the team's part
think it was just scribes
scribes hurt if theyre just getting shotgunned with no cc
are there m+ streams for prot warrs
first pull is probably bonestrikes
no cast time instant huge magic dmg hit from the bonesoldiers
that's why you need a defensive there when you go in
and consider kiting after they are down if it's a hard pull for you
so just pre shield wall pretty much
it only has 1y range
so if you keep on slightly on the move
you can avoid them casting it
hope frost mage is meta again for stuff like that 
de other side is all about death speaker on those pulls
death embrace not kicked and you get a scribe that 1 shot you
its very painful with group that doesnt kick, i know it !! ๐
deaths embrace shouldnt be an issue really
scribes dont even cast if youre not in melee range btw
it's all about shadowcores + bonestrikes
^
i always go in with a stun and 1st kick on shadowcore, then i get a juicy reflect
Can someone please help me out, do I just need streets to be done in 15+ or may I somehow avoid it?
For kms
i mean you could avoid it by doing literally everything else on a 17 or something but you're not avoiding streets altogether
it's very heavily nerfed at this point though
I keep getting gambit, not the streets, so I cannot even get an inv ๐
Streets is pretty cake atm outside of the last boss being an rng nightmare
last boss is rancid
flip a coin to see if you get an impossible shuri
or if your portals are going to keep moving DURING shuri
They pretty much erased one of hylbrandes mechanics, the shuris could definitely be toned down
Hylbrande is Gambit
so happy we moved away
is vulpera strong for m+?
is cute
hey guys, what is the best slot for unity? I have reprisal on boots and the wall on cape
ultimately helm when you get all tier
can stick with the free belt for a while though
I know. Im talking about how last boss of streets could use changes similar to how hylbrande got changed
Ohhhhh okay sorry I completely misread that
Yeah, you're totally right on that one man. Zo'azmi or whatever their name is definitely needs a tweak
God I haven't even done a taz key since the nightmare first week
When we are talking haste what is the best percentage to aim for?
More haste is pretty much always good until like... 40% is too much
there aren't any breakpoints, I'd say the spec starts to "feel" alright around 20%
Just keep getting more. More haste = more rage = more defensive/offensive opportunity
I was running 30-32% and it felt nice, recently dropped ows and changed gear to 36% haste and it feels amazing
I wish ticking sack was on the prot loot table.
Yea itโd be nice to have it pop up in the vault without going arms loot spec and risking not getting a good tank option if sack doesnโt appear
I wonder how they decide because theres other trinkets that only provide offense that are on the prot table
If you wear Unity and a directly crafted Cov legendary, will you get double the effect?
no
just simming myself for single target and signet coming up on top is that right?
๐คท could be
but @strong forum and @ionic fern have been working on it recently
signet might be highest dps might not be ither way its a terrible leggo for us
the crit gained from Kleias tree feels so fake when u`re not getting parry from it
im trolling I thought this was the fury channel lmao
Burn it!
hi guys does anyone know if there is a wee list of the bis trinkets for prot?
Depends what you wanna do tbh. But generally its Scale/Aegis/OWS/Phial/Ticking sack/RDM/Codex
You can choose a lot depending one what you tryna do
is the xymox tank trinket a viable replacement for scale? is there a big difference in damage/shield value when you compare the 1min cd of riftshard compared to 2min cd of scale?
I am still deeply in love with mah LFR Aegis
it is not viable
๐
thats a bummer
:notokayge:
Dont wonna switch out matrix and aegis ๐คฅ
BiS Trinkets for prot warri still scale and the tazavesh trinket?
Describe bis
best in slot ๐
I'm hyped for reprisal and necrolord leggo next week.
bis varies depending on the content you do
yeah im kidding

you wanna just stay alive and go full turtle in raids? different trinket than if you wanna have bis for parses
kyrian gang

I'm looking at the wowhead SFO prot tanking guide and wonder if there's something better out there, or a way to get some more specific recommendations into that guide. For example, Vigilant Guardian's Split resolution shouldn't be avoided but reflected. Same for Skolex's Riftmaw should be reflected at a bare minimum to avoid getting absolutely chunked.
I'm nothing special, just someone mediocre trying to do better things in my raid but I feel like some of the documentation out there for prot warriors is incomplete
I know for reflects, that's where I've been getting a lot of that stuff, but aside from Reflect, there could be some other things that would make tanking some of these fights a little cleaner
Like?
tank notes is usually the go to for that
spellreflect sheet?
Yes yes, I know both of my examples focus on reflect, but I see a lot of tanks separating for parts of Skolex but then stacking up for others, I think that has to do with the rend frontal cones but that detail isn't in a lot of the guides to stack for the two hit melee but not for the separation on the rend
the guides are for the spec
Deep in the Sepulcher of the First Ones lies the key to unlock the Jailerโs plans. Gather the power of the First Ones as you pursue Zovaal into the Sepulcher and fight through his forcesโbut first, you must face Anduin, and discover a way to resist the Jailerโs terrifying Domination magic.
here are better in depth fight guides, with notes for all tanks
Ahh the in depth notes weren't in place the last few times I checked here, but the general guides were, thanks @sweet summit
Can you pin the tanknotes along with the icy veins and wowhead guides?
Literally the FAQ.
I was looking in the pins for the channels which also includes a series of guide
s
sorry
@sweet summit This tier is nothing but pain
I also thought specifically stacking and then splitting on Skolex was just the basic guide stuff
For all tanks
I have never done this degenerate splits so far into mythic week
Late are you raiding as prot or fury?
i like my fingers being in pain after 5 mins of playing
even changed my IP bind to something easy to press

Yikes
hi mates, you already thought which slot 2. lego will be for you? I mean prices are starting to rise im thinking of buying now, but im really not sure. Have Chest hands and legs as tier.
and reprisal feet
belt short term helmet long term
there was one of the 5 tier items with awful stats wasnt it?
Helm has one of the better stats but legendary ilvl on headpiece is just most stats on anything
did u not get it
I wish instead of making us equip tier gear, they'd just make seasonal effects to specs that they say go away. I've been spoiled by other games not locking massive kit stuff behind loot rng
Time gate if you must but bleh. 20-30% of a spec shouldn't be tied to loot haha.
I mean its time gated but also not time gated
You can force 4 sets with enough characters
Which makes it extremely cringe
But like... All extra player power is tied to loot
its the basic principle of mmos
Where you build up your own character
Instead of just choosing a template
I feel like things that change rotations or other priorities at the level of tier set bonuses need to be divorced from gear rng. Let gear just be stats.
Or be earned deterministically by everyone at the same rate
And the building your character thing goes out the window when everyone gets the same bonus and all that changes it how lucky you get it faster
Claw of Molten Fury. Would someone help me understand why a Prot warrior would want that as there MH for tanking?
i think tier is kinda fine as it is. it's only rng at the very beginning but we'll all have it
@summer breach #vanilla-discussion ?
didn't see that. thanks
i think there's a better classic warrior discord actually
but someone in that chan prob knows the link
The other channel I found doesn't seem very active.
For the raid, what's the major disparity between prot warrior and paladin? Debating on pivoting
Prot paladin does more damage, heals the group and has an immunity
We have rally
Heal the group with what ? Most prot pal I see doesn't even heal themselves.
And juuuust enough burrowed power to not be trashcan
Full of reroll onprot pal on my healer when I Pug I dont take pally tank
Yeah fotm tank classes are best avoided
If you see a staunch non meta spec they are often good players
M+ prot warrior however is really fun and good
At least warrior with beacon I don't even need to focus heal them
Its not a guardian druid but nothing really is
Skill > classes
But on tazabesh I tanked on my holy pally once as prot and it's ridiculous for street how you can pull so easily with the shield silence
Have you gone left side
60% count nothing is dangerous
dont have to worry about any casters
I prefer top for lust timing
I mean after dominating bfa, warrior feels fine. Not like how it was at the start of 9.0.
I prefer top for lust timing
huh?
top is sloppy
Ra spear
same
Fury is just so much nicer and you dont have to worry about survival or if you are getting any heals
Big facts
If I had played arms last night on Andy I would have died every single downstairs phase
Healers straight slackin
maybe don't stand in swirly 
Pretty sure I was like lowest in damage taken
If you have dot on you its always healthpot hs inside
Just get hella close to ticking during that phase
Every time
Enraged Regen is clutch
As a healer on Andy I don't heal dps during add to heal unless your close to die not supposed to take DMG during that phase and your topped before going down
Anyway taking swirly = DMG/healing reduction
You might have healer struggling
You have dots on people in the inside group so its unavoidable damage
They fade during that phase of they are topped they will come out with around 50ish percent life
I do it in a 10 man group so only 1 healer down
2/3/6
You tick naturally down there
Itโs not avoidable
Shadow world Pain Fade
Normal DMG won't bring you down much until the 4 adds are healed and we get on group. But anyway when I divine toll some goes on group, so I guess you just have healer struggling
I am invited to replace someone playing BrM as an alt spec
On the Discord, there is a discussion about how bad prot warr is
They dont know yet ๐
go in there and show them how right they are ๐
This is true if youโre in the first group
2nd group actually needs healing
As per my healing friend
Honestly warrior is fine in raid
Needs way more effort to shine
Idk how it fares in mythic since my tanking experience this tier has been limited to just tanking hc split
I took less damage than monk needed less healing and damage output was bit lower than his but thats with fury conduits
So some dps gain from there
not really our conduits do nothing
like .1% gain
i guess slightly higher now
maybe .5%
I mean yeah but hack and slash + doi do literally nothing
true
anyone following RWF who knows whats happening currently?
sounds like Echo just popped Vantus on Rygelon? ๐ค
i'm only really following liquid who have decided they need more priests and need to gear them
Any tips for Lords of dread?
dont die
๐ฎ
dont be sussy
okay^^ i guess il just spam revenge... like a true prot warrior. If i die i blame tuning or lag or sth.
Like a true raid prot warrior I was told to swap to fury in place of a BDK and a BM Monk
Haste, vers still our best stats for legendarys correct?
ye
thank you ๐
Are y'all moving Reprisal to boots to make room for tier on legs? Or waiting to see what tier you get?
i bit the bullet and took it on boots
defo go for boots
Thinking about doing the same before I upgrade pants to 291
then i think gonna get unity on belt
Going to put unity on bracers just in case I need enduring blow for arms
fuck arms ๐ fury all the way
You never know
anybody know about the codex of the first technique vs protoforge?
i'm assuming, protoforge is better for just healing
protoforge is awful, codex is just mediocre
really? i've been getting some biggo healing from the protoforge tbf
but it is purely defencive
depends what you want it for really
you know, it actually felt really good to pop banner right as a balance druid convoked on ingra maloch. ๐
hmmm normally i put stam/leech on cloak but seems ppl talk about stam/avoidance now is it just for raid though
Leech gains more value in m+, avoidance more in raid usually
But either one barely matters
Lol the stat difference is so minor youll never notice
and it says on wowhead to put unity on a ring but if i dont go far in mythic raiding the most impactful would be what
anyone have WA for spell reflectables from SFO
You really want a second Unity for your DPS spec with the correct stats on it
Chances are, yes
ZM also gives giga renown
From?
Regret skipping the story on alts
how much vers should I be aiming for on prot?
any amount is fine
can we leap over the rings on dausegne i really don't want to get NF renown
No
It is truly unfortunate
You can technically run out but its not ideal for the raid comp
Yup
it's kinda interesting that the covenant system lets blizz design fights around the idea of everyone having a blink
but also, like, fuck off
just change the name to heroic slide because apparently our legs are too puny to actually jump over anything
Heroic hop
HOLY FUCK HE'S BACK
Is necro worth with 2pc or just 4pc?
I'm assuming with 4pc
(For raid)
Also I finally got 2pc after full normal clearing and fucking 5/8 h clearing since week 1 and full 278 M+ vaulting :))))
Fucking about time
Think necro aint too worth till double lego 4pc
So halls 15+ in particular really kicks my ass. Is there anything I can do if the kicks aren't on point with obliterators?
DoT on last boss kinda rips a hole through me too. I didn't start tanking in s2 until I was already overgeared, so kinda readjusting.
Ideally kicks are good but you can take storm bolt for an extra personal way to stop a wicked bolt
The final boss dot ramps up in damage so save a CD for the end of it, don't just pop something on cast
the first shard on left and the shard on the right have los point. i do that when i am out of defensive and kicks from gorup
You can also just segregate your pulls in a way that keeps you from being overburdened with more than one caster without passing up too much % for chonky pulls.
feel like double leggo 2 piece is ok
any advice on jailer.. that thing i used to do to hit the pillar.. its big damage dot
not sure spell reflect work i tried that
Spell reflect the soul crusher, itโs tricky timing
isn't that muehzalah?
I didn't really have a problem with him, but that's good to know.
Oh I misread sorry
muehzalah casts soulcrusher at 100 energy, so you can prep for it, don't need to have the 0.5s reaction time
Ah yes ofcourse
Necro prot any good for buffing 4pc hunter pulling 60k on aoe?
Mastery is a dps down for hunters
How does that work?
Mm hunter gets more range from mastery
So if you banner on pull you bait them into standing further
So when it runs out they are out of range
banner is a personal cd now
i was just doing a silly little goof, like yes giving a buff to someone doing good damage will be good and not bad, seems obvious
These are my current stats with almost just upgrading ilvl due M+/Raid with primary focus on "Haste" as secondary stats. But as you see "Mastery" is my highest and "Versa" is quite low. Shall I push even more into Haste or focus on Versa now? Going into 20ties again next week I think and then push this seasons as far as I can get. Last Season I started to push late and only got into 23/24es with full focus on Hase (enchants, Gems etc)
Donโt stress, haste still good, play >>>>>> stats
Would be nice to have a little more vers if you push really really high but for where youโre at you look fine
stats are fine
as long as you got your highest main stats equipped then it doesn't really matter that much
especially when you already got high haste
with tierset haste will become even more important than it already is
Starcraft players
is sigil good or bad
Very good for dmg
If you can pair it well with CDs
Or in a short fight, hold it for execute
Is this the phial of serenity and 1500 versa thing? Picked it up last night as prot and wasnt really sure when id use it - 5 min CD is loooooong too.
Also - the spear lego has been my go to for dps boosts when doing lower keys that i dont need reprisal for. Which other damage lego should i make? I quite like the idea of Avatar casting Reck but bladestorm is extremely annoying when it procs in torghast...
Maybe leaper for the pure hilarity........
Seismic is the go-to DPS legendary for m+.
Yes, but it slaps in Execute phase.
I currently run Scale and Ticking sack - worth dropping one of those for?

wow only 5% of 15+ keys is Prot Warr ๐ฎ

don't look at +20s 
yep same ๐

chilling right under sense ๐
Know why? Because people get declined due to "HURRDURR PROT WARR BAD".
I honestly can't remember a time when i've gotten declined so much as i have recently.

yea same
Declining tanks 
I'm far less declined this season than S2
sense uploading keys ๐ฎ
But, as ilvl is increasing, people are more and more asking for 4P to do 19s x)
So It will end up like S2 ๐

my guild stuck on Anduin normal ๐คฆ
we prog tonight for 3hrs, hoping we can get 1-2 bosses for some more tier chances


anyone have a good tactic of handling stars in P1 of Anduin? ๐ค
for a pepega guild
i did clear anduin last week
will try to clear with guild, then pug after / tomorrow
killing anduin and filling my 3rd vault option is how i finally got 2 piece ๐
Heres a first look at the Mythic+ Tier List in Shadowlands Season 3! Data Reliability Since Benched.me no longer exists, were going to be using a different resource for our Mythic Tier Lists. Its called Subcreation and the site has been created and is maintained by Alcaras. Subcreation provides s...
Looks like we are C tier folks
On normal, tank Anduin slightly off center facing away from center. Have whole raid stand in front of him (yes, melee will get parried). Run stars straight through him and behind him. Move through him or otherwise out of the cone for downstairs if youโre not in that group.
gotta respec
ye ok, was also what i thought
i usually see people playing tank sin front, dps behind, and stars to the sides
but some of my guild are literally saying "stars should just move back, and people should move out of the way" ๐คฃ
๐
Always have been in sl
Nothing changed lol, we were c last time
I personally gave up after trying lfr and the adds on bridge phase sylvannasa if you charge them you run and fall off like a God damn looney tunes cartoon
Sounds like a 'you' problem.
And that was the point for me where it's like okay this is rigged against me
damn, Mwahi being savage today ๐
as someone who literally did sylvannas every week charge did not make u fall off the bridge
As a DPS, charge pathing on jailer has been pretty hilarious too. You donโt fall in holes, but you sure do make fun shapes.
thats is 100% player error
I don't really have the problem anymore though cuz I uninstalled and unsubb for now
It'd be hard to say it's just one reason or event but more like 1000
And I just can't give a fuck anymore

Also blizzard stealing tatty milk is pretty wtf
99% of the things you complained about were your own gameplay problems.
We provided you with a TON of information that you just full out ignored or responded with "i cba reading" just so you could complain about the exact same issue the next day and then blame it on the class.

10.0 + waiting room
- for if trailer sucks or some other bad media come out then I'll just wait 10.2/3 - 11.0
Ok?
๐คฃ
that list is from subcreation no?
they just look at how many succesful runs a class has and how high those keys were
more popular classes will almost always be ranked higher automatically
I'll let you guys in on a huge fucking secret
I don't do any mechanics in lost ark either..........
Only watch videos after I wipe 5 times
Did you try elden Ring?
Nope more like, dork souls 2, (someone called that and it stuck for me) after o got it for free on Xbox ds1 and got killed by the black knight jninstalled years prior
I've never been good at dark souls and the only souls like game I ever beaten was lords of the fallen which was shorter
Yea i didnt get far in ds ill defo try it again
Not too well versed with the Controller tbh
You can also swap from str to dex to int on the fly so I made it up to some 2 man boss as essentially rogue dex before I had to switch to str, then that made ret of game easy as hell
So OTE not comparable to ds
Cuz you can literal amge one ddx next str 3rd and no negatives
Elden Ring looks p cool and has shields i wish wow had
Not on the fly but out of combat on the bonfires,
Anyway that souls like game I beat wasn't too hard
Won't play Malden ring unless it's gifted to me, most likely
Can anyone explain the logic of Unity recommended on head (once you have 5 tier pieces)?
Head piece is Haste Versa favouring Haste which is optimal for us not clear why would we replace it.
Why would we not craft on Chest (heavy mastery piece) or Legs (heavy crit piece) looking at the high budget pieces?
its maximum amount of stats
and more stats > than less better stats
You mean its maximum when we have all items in Mythic Raid in our bags?
Seems it should have that caveat the recommendation seems like it will be wrong for most players permanently and wrong even for people in the top 5% for months yet. Rygelon isn't even dead yet.
Well yeah it's always doable unless you're in a guild that's not even trying
how can this be less clear it doesnt matter what ilvl your pieces are, if your max raid is hc its still worth having it on helm as its still more stats than doing chest or shoulders, so u have the 3 highest stats piece as high as ilvl as possible
putting it anywhere else is omga stupid
Except M+
not really
because u get 278 pieces
same thing
put it on helm
Ok so I get all my pieces from M+ all are 278 you are saying Helm is the best option?
Dw it's gonna get nerfed more probably
Well 3 of your pieces will be 285 from last 3
if your only going to do mythic+ then still helm, as its the same as putting it on shoulders or chest
like it doesnt matter then
It does because I can choose the secondaries on my legendary I cant choose the secondaries on my tier.
its about strength
and shoulders helm and chest have the exact same stat budget
because from the raid the helm is less ilvl than both chest and shoulders
he's asking about m+ tier only jakey
and in that case he'd be right to craft it on chest
sinc eall pieces are 278 then
for a slightly better stat distribution
its not
chest and helm are the same
it literally doesnt matter
like i said above
its the same
Also Helm better tmog tbh
it doesnt matter
and u can farm when pieces u want form mythic + btw
becuase u can just make them later on
so u can target certain pieces and get the stats u want anyway
๐คท
When you convert an item to tier with the creation catalyst its secondaries are replaced with the tier secondaries. It will retain gem slots and tertiaries.
okay cool
it wil change helm to haste vers
๐
do what u want
complain to mwahi he wrote it
i cba
BTW if you kill 2 mythic bosses, you have a chance of getting 285 tier pieces
Doesnt matter which bosses
;)
So Chest piece will always have a boat load of mastery. So when mastery is our lowest prio stat why would we not replace it?
Don't you need to kill the boss themselves to have a chance at their loot? That's at least how it is with jailer wep
This is true, although could be playing the slots for a while. I personally think it might be one to recraft a few times.
Nop
Tier you can always drop
Interesting
Doesn't matter if killed or not
For anything else yes this is a new concession for this tier.
That's how people already have 285 rygelon chest for example
Interesting, thanks.
Regarding mythic + in 10 my opinion is remove normal and heroic mode dungeons, easy mode, hard mode and hard mode scaling, nothing about layouts or boss abilities change except interupts have longer cast bars on easy mode Anda full wipe on hard foes 80%+ to all on easy regardless of anything that isn't pally bubble
The newer players learning it then experience the dungeon exactly as they did on easy, except faster, because they don't feel compelled to take in scenary
this sounds like a forum topic not a prot topic
I'd post on forums if I could, but if repition is the name of the game nothing can change ge at all..
its less likely to get changed if u post it in a discord that has no influence
in anything with the game
I just have hopes that the game will get better, and if 10.0 seems okay I'll probably come back again , and guess what I'll play prot and probably do everything wrong again
Nothing ever xhanges
Nothing ever changes if you don't want to change.
๐คท
Just don't complain about the class being bad.
just kinda chilling here till the cinematic and then i'll decide future based on first viewing of it
I can't find a confirmation on this. If I craft Unity on a Ring Slot will it conflict with Signet if I use that in a ring slot for Fury? I an 99% sure that each ring slot is considered unique so it should work.
legendary rings are not unique equipped
Thank you.
Is the trinket off the nine still bis for us this whole tier?

239 gunna be better in a lot of cases
I am still deeply in love with my LFR version
if they add another tank class in 10.0 the meta-cycle will be even bigger and we can wait for the solarsystem to circle the galaxy before we gain meta status again
I don't want meta.
I just want people to stop being stupid and realise that every tank can do the majority of content.
Instead of "Weekly+15 10piece required with full mythic clear and 100 parse logs, only g druid".
It's literally just the community being ignorant af.
Have you met people?
300% agree ๐
fkn 2k8 rio on prot warrior getting refused in pug cus im not pal or druid in +19 keys
LOL
yes its dump that keyholder in 15 are only accepting playerts with tierset bonus
the entire day
I just started looking at Marileth and it's just a great tree all the way down. Why aren't more soulbinds this good? ๐ค
Yeah Kevin OG SL
S2 was the best tank balance the game has ever seen, every tank had representation in the top 20 for keys
Kevin + 3p is the only reason why marileth is good
3p?
3potency
I dunno man, so far all of the passive ones you get between conduits look pretty good. I get 3p is obviously gigchad DPS but compared to other stuff I've seen (particularly in NF/Kyr) it feels like Marileth has a lot of decent range on defensive benefit in multiple vectors
And then the 3p just lets you freeball
I don't think any soulbind gives any kind of defensive benefit you could notice or want in specific situations
Fleshcrafting to heal on huge tank dots seems pretty obvious
Can proc it at basically every platform and all bosses except hakkar
@strong forum r u like jakey protection warrior for life ?
Jakey is Nomeratur 2.0
:stronge:
And I'm Sense 0.5
i see 
Im a dog with a tiny, dusty crown
How are you proccing it on the broker boss? ๐ค
And Muezalah
Jump down onto the boss area, jump down onto the platform
You can jump down from higher platforms all over the dg if the buff is important to you (which it kinda aint tbf)
Or shouldnt be
But hey
Free DR
I mean it's like a demo shout
and you're slapping that nearly on CD unless you gotta hold it for something big
20% dr for 15 secs
You can even be sweaty with it if you really want to. Big pull before hakkar wing you can just jump off a bit before pulling
Get like 10 secs of dr
But thats kinda aids
Its more of a fun gimmick you might as well use if you can
I saw a group asking for a 4P guardian druid, for a 19 
last time i played necro lord i liked using the one where you can move while channeling green bubble
really nice to just start doing it as your moving towards next pull
Is there a reason Seeing Red is based on stacks (8) of 30 rage spent instead of just a flat 240 rage? Makes it awkward to know how close you actually are to getting outburst from 6/7 stacks
I mean at 7 stacks
Pretty sure it's just net 240 rage. Do you have logs showing overspending?
A 40 rage execute can send you from 6-8 stacks immediately if you're 20 rage into the 6th stack. I just don't understand the logic behind hiding it behind stacks
I think he's saying why can't outrage just be every 240 vs 3x8
Numbers get too large I think?
240 is scary? I guess so to some of the playerbase
arent there weakauras that show rage+stacks tho?
Are you wondering why they use stacks as opposed to just saying every 240 rage?
yeah just game design psychology & satisfaction stuff, for most brains it's easier to process it in chunks
Because it's just 240 rage. Stacks are to show rough tracking.
Yeah. And it makes it MUCH harder to make a WA to track your progress because tooltip shows stacks instead of rage spent.
Just make a WA that tracks rage spent and then clears it on outburst 4head
Won't work with 4piece. Again, it's just an unnecessary abstraction to make it more difficult rather than less difficult to track and I'm wondering if I'm missing something.
Does it though?
It does for me. I'm bad at WA though
WA tracks stacks, not rage spent
Which is literally the same thing
It's not, read above
^
All you need is an IP
if im going straight up for DPS in raid, is Necro the best? ๐ค
There benchmarkable information you can extrapolate from with the stacks that can inform your rage spent going forward.
Will a 20 rage execute give you 8 stacks?
Just send it at 40 rage
Or at least 30
Youโre not punished for not sending it at 20
Itโs linear scaling
Or oh no
You had to do two
Not a big deal
But then will you get Outburst or not? How do you know based on the stacks of Seeing Red?
Are you seeing now that stacks and rage spent are not the same thing?
It is tho
And youโre overcomplicating it
You can literally force outburst at 7 stacks every time
With one button
speaking of tier, has anyone else noticed that revenge procs counts towards stacks?
Yes
bug, probably?
Yeah it's weird, since they don't count towards AM
oh really
and if I was implementing that, I would've absolutely copy-pasted the AM scripting
Yeah. No idea why.
6-8 can happen with a 40 rage execute though
It was counting for me on stacks less than that
Ok and?
Show me logs. I tested it extensively in ZM and procced 3 in a row and got no stacks.
If you want to prio Outburst with SS and not TC. It DOES matter
No logs was doing a key
You can still do thatโฆ.
Press revenj
Get reset

Might have been slapping IP/ShB then because like I said I was proccing Revenge! over and over and it never gave a stack except 7 to 8.
just tested from 2>3 and got no stacks, think youre right
It was entirely replicatable.
Interesting
Yeah hop on and give it a whirl. I thought the same thing when I was progging Halondrus and noticed it was only working on 7 to 8 afterwards.
I think it was Erga that also got the same results.
You could @ him and see if anything has changed.
definitely buggy behavior but... fixing it would technically be a tiny nerf so........
But back to the original point - the 2p/4p tracks Seeing Red as just a superficial means of telling you what rage you've spent. Regardless of how you get there, 240 rage will give you Outburst. Spillover is kept into the next Seeing Red stack.
Otherwise hitting Revenge three times wouldn't give me 2 stacks, and it does. You're literally just having a piss take.
And if you are waiting for shield slam
Youโre not going to die because you didnโt press TC
Kind of a bummer if so. Other classes have similar mechanics where it's totally intended.
So I should just sit there and wait to see if I have outburst or not and just wait the .5 seconds rather than press TC or SS?
Wait to- bro what? Dude you have a BUFF BAR that tells you if you have Outburst or not.
You'll either have downtime or you'll hit outburst buffed TCs with this setup because you can't see your required rage to go.
why do you have down time? you dont need to spend outburst the second you proc it, and you have other buttons to press besides tc and ss
If you can't look at 7 stacks of Seeing Red and compartmentalize that it's 210+ rage and that you need to spend a MINIMUM of 30 rage to proc to make that choice
I doubt you'll be parsing with trying to game big SS using Outburst.
Not to mention a Revenge! proc will always send you to 8.
Sitting on both SS and TC off CD... Good idea
this conversation has gone on far too long lol. dividing it into stacks makes it easier for most brains to come up with rules of thumb for playing, it's just a lot harder for the majority of players to process 240 on the fly. that does mean it's not showing you the finest detail, which might affect your granular decisions very very occasionally. if you really think this is going to affect you, you can work on a rage tracker WA, it just wouldn't key off the buffs they display to you. whether that's worth the work is really up to you
Basically. You're hung up on entirely trivial information that - were you not already pushing AOTC or Mythic content - will never be a critical factor in your success or failure as much as foundational play will be.
Go to the WA discord and beg them to make something like that for you if you can't hack it together yourself.
this conversations seems dumb u only need to care about anything at 7 seething stacks once there make sure u put TC on cooldown then spend your rage
then u can pretty much guarentee a outbursted SS
theres already a WA in the pins thats let u track the buffs
because u do
oh yeah bro nah
don't do that
that's not a good way to live
just ignore the pink and the orange class
Imagine having to simp for a shiny bauble so you can not die ex deee
Warriors just get angry because power comes from within

yo you turn into a bear? a bear like winnie the pooh is a bear? lmao
man fuck i would kill for some tropical mango now
i'm just in my nice little guild
no one's weird about meta or balance
we play what we like
nothing can harm me here
Does banner trigger GCD or can I just mongo macro it to stuff like ava
gcd
Any optimal order to press it in?
Like LS > Ava > Demo > Banner
or
I should say I just clownshoes with LS and UF on the pull for maximum meter monkey \
banner first since it has infinite duration -> avatar -> demo -> LS (ls last or you just hard overcap)
Okay but what if I'm pressing IP between Demo/Ava while LS is up
sure
Any notable prot war key streamers besides pika?
Thank ya
Ban Erga for trying to acquire stans

me in another timeline where i didn't give up on wow

out of curiosity, how dumb would it be to swap from reprisal to signet for like +4 more average ilvl in raid
very
good.
I bet spear + seismic will be a fun meme for low keys.
ya absolutely
but i suspect that the rage from reprisal has potential to beat out seismic
signet does borderline nothing for us
Wtb tier.
i miss dolphin who was utterly refusing to accept that signet is dogshit for us just because a random who was r1 rio as venthyr with signet equipped

in very early s1
0/4 this isn't funny blizz
dragons roar, yay or nay? is it worth
Didn't it used to autocrit and be way better?
i don't, just some pug
Many moons ago
just wanted to make sure i'm not missing some sorta hidden meta
it used to be 100% pre-SL yes
Who the fuck
but we also didnt have dragon roar as prot in BFA and Legion
