See I'd have taken the gloves to hold until we can catchup craft

mighty valley
#

Again if you’re drowning in money do whatever you want, but you likely won’t use unity gloves for very long

median tulip
#

But then I probably won't ever see Mythic Raid token, so...

jagged pier
#

your more likely to get 278 gloves again

#

like we probs wont be getting anything new till Q4 2023 at this rate

sweet summit
#

9.2.5 when...

jagged pier
#

probs like after summer i would presume

#

lots coming that needs testing

#

the raids with affixes and stuff

main veldt
#

are prot warriors going to look better a bit later? everything everywhere rates them as the worst tank by a huge margin sadge

sweet summit
#

that's not 2.5 or?

season 4

jagged pier
sweet summit
#

oh

#

oh

#

oh

main veldt
#

is this accurate?

ionic fern
#

No.

sweet summit
#

nope

ionic fern
#

Tier lists are never accurate.

jagged pier
ionic fern
#

🙂

mighty valley
#

Tier lists are never good

jagged pier
#

tier lists

main veldt
#

even when based on actual runs?

jagged pier
#

:kekw:

sweet summit
#

based on popularity

dapper swift
#

Oof the quick switch on unity bis. I made a 291 ring didn't know waist slot was competitive

jagged pier
#

its literally in the pins

#

why do ppl not read the pins

sweet summit
#

which is never a good metric, since warrior is unpopular even when omega giga strong

ionic fern
#

Wait..are they making old raids/m+ relevant again? And they drop similar ilvl gear?

jagged pier
main veldt
#

are they most unpopular tank?

ionic fern
#

Ok.

#

I'm done

jagged pier
main veldt
#

or is that blood

ionic fern
#

I'm not TC anymore if they make them drop competitive gear.

dapper swift
jagged pier
#

that tier lists just shows that less ppl are play prot

ionic fern
#

Cba going through all that.

sweet summit
#

blood is very popular to my knowledge

dapper swift
lime urchin
#

That subcreation tier list doesn’t mean anything to 99,9% of the playerbase

#

It such a shame most people try to find something that’s fun to play and just play it

#

Instead of looking at tierlists

#

Especially now that tonks are okayish close together

mighty valley
#

People make tier lists that dump on a class, people read them and don’t take that class, then new tier lists are made from that data to “prove it”

sweet summit
#

they're not as close as they were earlier season

#

tier sets kinda just

#

yeah

ionic fern
#

😂

dapper swift
#

I never see prot war when I'm healing

jagged pier
dapper swift
#

Good grief

lime urchin
mighty valley
#

We got better, they got busted

jagged pier
chilly brook
#

It doesn’t even matter

#

If you crafted on ring instead of waist

#

It won’t make a difference

#

Outside of maybe some more inventory juggling

lime urchin
#

I just mean that it’s possible to push 20s on a protwarrior in a not-meta group setup. That means it’s fine, I think.

dapper swift
#

I see that.. Was just sharing an experience and got jumped on. Anyway happy gv day have good night all

sweet summit
#

20s are relatively low right now

lime urchin
#

Oh.

sweet summit
#

tier set power creep, and unity now

jagged pier
#

20s are low

#

15s are a joke

lime urchin
#

I stand corrected!

ionic fern
#

What ilvl are you guys even @sweet summit @jagged pier ?

jagged pier
#

260 somthing

#

i dont get gear

lime urchin
#

Me and mah frens don’t have tier yet so 15-20 is still a lil push to be honest

sweet summit
#

265 in prot gear i think

ionic fern
#

👀

#

Meanwhile our god, Sense is 271.

mighty valley
#

Still worth keeping perspective that only like 10% of people who touch keys at all get KSM

sweet summit
#

clearly hacking

mighty valley
#

Trying at all makes you elite

sweet summit
jagged pier
#

but loot luck has been bad

#

like obvs trinkets will be 252 for the rest of time

#

and i still have 259 shoulders neck bracers and gloves

#

252 tier legs

sweet summit
#

252 aegis still okayge

jagged pier
#

252 ageis and 252 RDM and 252 fate scribe

sweet summit
lime urchin
#

LFR aegis all day everyday

jagged pier
#

but not i have both codex trinkets

#

:evillaughing:

ionic fern
sweet summit
#

campaign=free belt

jagged pier
#

u just get one through the campagin

#

but its 265

sweet summit
#

revered + campaign = craft anywhere at higher ilvl

jagged pier
#

Anyone got a WA to track banner uptime btw?

ionic fern
#

Like just to track when it's up or to give you a % uptime after the fight is done?

jagged pier
#

Just when its up

#

I dont have 4 set yet

#

So would be nice to know how close i am to loosing it

strong forum
# main veldt is this accurate?

Those lists are scraped from logs from people doing high keys, the more people of said spec do the highest keys, the higher they appear on the list

#

It's fully automated and the only thing this list shows is that nobody on prot is pushing keys

#

Which is true

jagged pier
#

if only i had a group

strong forum
#

This list doesn't account anything but key level and popularity

jagged pier
#

probably still wouldnt because dungeons suck

sweet summit
#

hey i pushed ratge

jagged pier
main veldt
strong forum
#

Prot is unpopular even if competetive

#

It is factual that we are the weakest tank right now, but not D tier, moreso B

jagged pier
#

prots extremely competitive right now, u just need to play it better than most tanks to get the same effect 👍

strong forum
#

Even in bfa when prot was the best people tried to not play it

jagged pier
#

☝️

main veldt
#

thanks guys, one more question though; what dungeons should i prioritize loot speccing prot? (main arms and second prot)

strong forum
#

Only DoS

main veldt
#

for blood splattered?

strong forum
#

Yeh

main veldt
#

or is there a good shield there too

jagged pier
#

streets

#

codex and sack

#

👍

strong forum
#

Well if you want shield

#

I think mists?

glacial swift
#

Thanks Jakey, was wondering that too

strong forum
#

Has haste shield

ionic fern
#

Which ever of the Tazavesh dungeons has the boss that makes you go into the correct shapes to teleport is a god damn nightmare.

main veldt
#

my shield is like a 230 ilvl LUL

ionic fern
#

Buggy pos.

main veldt
#

mists, streets, and DoS

#

okay ty guys

tender tulip
#

is there a point you want to stop getting haste any more btw?

strong forum
#

Nop

jagged pier
#

40% without dropping ilvl for it

strong forum
#

^

tender tulip
#

or even with DR is it still best, especially with the new set

#

excellent, thanks 🙂

#

although with into the fray and OWS

jagged pier
#

no without them

strong forum
#

Without ITF

tender tulip
#

that means about 3% haste out of combat 😂

jagged pier
#

its 40% unbuffed

#

without droping main stat

#

u can drop ilvl on neck and ring

tender tulip
#

🙂 lovely.

#

thanks

blazing condor
#

doesn't OWS contribute to DR considering it doesn't give %based haste

jagged pier
#

yes

#

but if u hit 40% u can use somthing else

novel bronze
#

hey guys, i have a short question - which soulbind should I play in m+ as a nightfae tank and why? I saw the most tanks are playing niya, but tbh i dont get it, why not Korayn?

jagged pier
#

u should be playing korayn

#

niya is raid tank

dawn canyon
#

Korayn huge dammer huge aggro

main veldt
#

there were tons of people playing them so i'm not sure what you are referring to

#

season 3

strong forum
#

This perfectly illustrates my point

#

Even when it was highly dominant

#

It was only played like 10%more than other tanks

#

In s3 it was wasn't even played more

main veldt
#

but 10% is hardly "people not trying to play it" would you agree?

strong forum
#

Go check s1 SL

blazing condor
#

i can imagine the s2 stats for tank distribution

#

hella bearbear

strong forum
#

S1 will be like 50% vdh

jagged pier
#

we were so strong all of bfa

but everyone skipped in season 1

i was #1 pwarr on my server in 8.0

proud of u

blazing condor
#

:stronge:

strong forum
#

That's a fact

west walrus
#

On my server, there is a competition between 4 prot warr

strong forum
#

It was the best tank for high keys, that's why it was played, but if people could avoid it, they did

blazing condor
#

pwarr is just unpopular to play

#

not necessarily hard but people just don't really play it properly

strong forum
#

People just don't like prot war

#

It's as simple as that

blazing condor
#

but why

#

its wicked

strong forum
#

Can't press death strike

#

That's why

west walrus
#

Because others tanks have a lower skill cap

strong forum
#

It's literally a stigma

main veldt
blazing condor
#

skill floor is probably more correct although both probably can be applied

#

depending on what you compare with

west walrus
#

I love you all

dawn canyon
#

So many of the high end tanks have a main main tank and it just happens to be the other ones

#

Pal and andybrew, lepan as bdk

#

Etc

#

Why that is, idk

strong forum
#

Andy is monk, he played pally just for lulz and it happened to be better

#

Naowh is dk
Lepan is dk
Nerf is... Whatever is meta

#

Dorki is bear, if bear is meta then its bdk

dawn canyon
#

Nerf is meh ratge

west walrus

Sense is prot warr okayge

blazing condor

nerf went ultra-wide and now his stream is hard to see

blazing condor

asmongold okayge

strong forum
#

Sco is a "what is a must have and takes the least amount of effort"

#

He's not very good at his class either, just good at raiding

dawn canyon
#

Yea if you have the most world first out of everyone ur doing something right

#

Although im p sure method cant truly complete with modern rwf anymore

blazing condor
#

considering he used to be the raid leader it makes sense that he'd play high results low effort

#

now with an extra man shotcalling it's whatever

strong forum
#

It mostly stems from bfa onwards

#

Be was the only one

#

Who only prepared 1 character

#

And even that 1 character was less prepared than the rest of his raid

dawn canyon
#

Gotta love the 4 of every class meta

strong forum
#

No he prepared 1 character total

#

Not 1 per class

#

1 total

#

His monk

blazing condor
dawn canyon
#

Yea idk

jagged pier
#

im sure he claims he too busy or he did once, but literally did nothing

dawn canyon
#

Just have Andy and tokaine do it

blazing condor
#

i support it

#

it worked

#

then method kinda went belly up

dawn canyon
#

I think he took a lot of time off because irl

#

Rwf this time really sorted out the lower end rwf guilds because they cannot maintain enough chars and splits

strong forum
#

He mainly focused on method as org not as guild

#

Which is understandable

dawn canyon
#

Oh you dont have 4 surv hunters with 4 set ready? No Lords kill for u

strong forum
#

Not gonna fault him for that, I'm in no position

dawn canyon
#

Oh yea all the Power to him

blazing condor
#

honestly at the end of the day i doubt sco cares THAT much about the game itself

#

its more about the org and race on its own

dawn canyon
#

Agree

He's done it all the man can rest

no

u only need it on 1 char

god, kill me now

campaign on alts

jagged pier

but why wouldnt u have revered its like 5 mins of quests a day

wanton blaze
#

alts ma dude 😄

dawn canyon
#

If ur just revered

#

U gotta craft unity

On each fucking alt

jagged pier
#

yer u can just craft a 265 1 not like they cost much anymore

#

291 s are like 50k on my server

wanton blaze

I'm on a dead server but spending gold is better than doing campaign on alts, christ

#

at least the main is revered

shy yoke
#

We craft Unity in the belt? (Even tho we get it for free on the campaign just with random stats and not upgradeable)

The free one is vers/mast, right?

everyone with 4p got it from raiding but raiding doesn't just give you 4p

#

also just go clear normal you literally need shoe size IQ and 2-3 hours for it

maiden ravine
#

I'm okay waiting. I really don't feel like raiding this tier.

this is by far the best raid they made

this expansion

probably since legion tbh

maybe too early to make that call

Just doesn't feel compelling to do it. I don't really care about any of the bosses and I don't do raids for the sake of doing the mechanics.

Nope, I'm more excited for Grimrail depot m+ than anything SL

i hate that grimrail is winning that poll

grimrail is such a mid dungeon, like yeah it's cool as fuck but the bosses all suck to play and it's a straight line

TRAIN

chrome falcon

is TRAIN going to keep you going for a full season

#

that dungeon takes like 15 minutes

ocean yoke

choo choo

maiden ravine

even bloody better

#

down with 40 minute dungeons

chrome falcon
#

this is why they need to drop mechagon and do 4 WoD dungeons

maiden ravine
#

I liked mechagon

chrome falcon
#

mechagon was ok buts its barely been a year and we know that it's decent but not like, amazing or anything

#

4 wod dungeons would let us have the novel ones like train but also the actually mechanically decent ones like everbloom and skyreach

maiden ravine
#

I would be so mad about Everbloom. I hate that one

#

I'm likely to vote Grimrail and probably Skyreach? I dunno. I'd go Docks but no to 2 blackrock dungeons

chrome falcon
#

Docks is great BUT

#

It will probably degenerate into some cringe strategy involving using the balls to clear 95% of the trash at once

strong forum
#

Docks is only great aslong as you can skip 99% of trash

#

Which uhm m+ doesn't let you do

#

The challenge modes had ridiculously small mob counts compared to m+

jagged pier
#

no skyreach u had to clear most of that

#

same from ubrs

Ya but that's skyreach

chrome falcon
#

skyreach would be hard as balls on fort

jagged pier
#

all of them will be hard on fory and tyran

#

the trash was busted

same for most of the bosses

everbloom bosses would be nasty but i think you could do some interesting stuff

plus everbloom is basically just an open room so routing would be fun

#

hi hi, can choose between these too for my tank,,, tier pants but lfr 😂 or haste/mastery shoulders,,, i'm thinking shoulders,, as i don't have a 1/2/3 set anyway,, am i wrong?

dawn canyon
#

Tier imo but not sure

limpid lion
#

the shoulders can be tier in a few weeks

distant crystal
#

you'll never hhave 1/2/3 set if you don't take tier

limpid lion
#

so if u arent actually raiding and wont have a set anytime soon, i wouldnt take lfr tier

ionic nimbus
#

He can transfer the shoulder to tier soon

distant crystal
#

You can transfer any loot to tier but not that soon

#

and it has a cd

#

and if you take tier now you can convert something else to tier later, to make a set

chilly brook
#

I mean look

#

There’s an easy answer

ionic nimbus
#

But you will need 278 items at tier slot

chilly brook
#

Go do lfr

#

Then do raid

distant crystal
#

that is the move tho

chilly brook
#

If you get no tier then take the tier

distant crystal
#

don't open until you loot

chilly brook
#

If you get tier legs

#

Then take shoulders

#

If you get any other piece of tier besides legs

distant crystal
#

but...treating tier-slot offpieces as "future tier" is kinda misguided

chilly brook
#

Take legs

strong forum
#

Pick the 239 for short term if you're impatient
Pick the 278 so you have a high ilvl item you can turn soon tm into a tier for long term success

distant crystal
#

Pick the 239 if you want to get tier and play the game

#

Pick the 278 if you want to get a nice looking armor set in 6 months without actually playing much :p

strong forum
#

I mean you can upgrade 1 piece a week

#

Starting in 3(?)weeks

distant crystal
#

so in 7 weeks you can have 4pc by just not taking tier

#

the dream

strong forum
#

Full 278 tier

#

Yes

distant crystal
#

278 non tier pieces are really hard to come by

#

Kappa

strong forum
#

They are if you keep choosing low ilvl tier pieces

#

And who's to say tier can't drop from raid

#

You can't get 278 outside of mythic raid or vault

#

So as I said, 239 is short term, 278 is long term. Up to him what he wants

ugh, can't believe I redid the entire ZM campaign, but free belt

broken mulch

i'll see whati can get from raid first 🙂

plush tendon
#

go for long term gains

#

its how you make stonks

distant crystal
#

hard disagree 😮

#

If you have something important to be geared for in 8 weeks then I guess yeah do that

#

But if you intend to play the game passing up tier for future better ilvl tier is gimping yourseelf

plush tendon
#

If they were heroic or even normal pants, I would agree take tier

#

but thats some gross LFR pants

#

I wouldnt want to be seen in those

#

the other strat, is to hold off from the vault, see if you cant snag that tier piece from normal or heroic

#

Halondrus much easier now

# quaint glade so weapon?

Codex is a strong defensive trinket, good in keys where you might actually die, just doesn't do much dmg

Weapons will come again

I'm excited to play Necro and fae. I'll admit spear is the ability I'm least interested in.

quaint glade

for m+ necro is good?

tropic star

in my experience if you are playing with aoe blasters, Necro has the hardest time with snap threat

but fleshcraft is a nice button

mighty valley

You have to chain pull constantly and press a million buttons a second to live the banner dream in m+

So if I have a friendly target moused over it'll intervene when I press it

Or if I have a hostile target moused over it'll charge them when pressed
