even sense swapped to the wall on skolex
ya skolex
i use sense weak aura its not bad
cuz its easier on him
i thought skolex was great for reprisal
no
its fine
but wall is much less dangerous to play
cuz you always gotta hug properly on that boss
sense has a reason for it
depend of your co-tank and group
with the SR change reprisal will be easier on skolex cause you wont need shield wall that much to compensate
hmm so 85% of prot warriors are bad because they use wall
no
gotta pump those reprisal numbers
on other bosses besides skolex
yes
pretty much the case
they still think that wall is the prog leggo
when that changed 1 year ago
unless ofc you get bosses like pantheon aswell
where you cant get reprisal value
pantheon not so bad, lords is impossible
why lord imposssible
always on a boss and pointing them is important
not during the cd
after they did the strike you can move intervene/charge the other they will stay stacked
ahhh
some melee might get anxious but...
it does work
anyway you turn them to not get melee cleaved and theres always that 1 guy that come dps the boss right next to you
there's enough going on in lords that your RL isn't going to notice malganis turning for a fraction of a second between casts lol
its sad that i dont veven push keys and dont go higher than 16-17ish cause i play with friend that arent min-max crazy about dps mostly and 17th pwar tank on server....
the fotm war all went ppal
Same, im 4rth on my realm and im at 2600
Hey y'all, DK discord has a FAQ about codex pulling targeted mobs that you aren't in combat with because of grievous, I'm trying to figure out if anybody has experienced it pulling mobs that you aren't currently targeting
I saw @sweet girder mention it earlier, so I know y'all are aware of the greivous/targeting bug
happened repeatedly last week ye, it didnt make sense it was the trinket since i have had it since week 1
so grevious, triggering, makes sense:D
Thanks DK discord just ignored my question when i told them i wasn't talking about the case in their FAQ, I appreciate you
why heavy repercussions over anger management
it's a thing for high keys without tier set
idk if you play it on any raid fight tho

yeah ive seen they're going heavy repercussions and best served cold
some of this data is before double tier
double leggo+tier
3/5 out of the top 5 pwars don't have full tier
you definitely dont play HR with full tier
When do we do 5 prot warr EU ?
the gangs all here
Went on a 70km bike ride instead to tan
monka
🚴
does jakey have time?
🤷♂️

5 prot warr is dead unless everyone has 4p
no wonder i'm last if i dont have it 
holy

yeah I was wondering about HR too tbh. I should have 2 piece on tuesday
but ignore it and just run AM?
until you have 4p you can play HR if you need to
ah
Not till tomorrow afternoon
pog
I will prob be running like 15s to 20 on it tho so will HR really be needed? Feel like ill be okay on tyran week with AM
hey sorry if asked before i did try search. Any tips for streets? I just cannot seem to stay alive in 80% of packs.
I like to think I know somewhat of what im doing (I got to 21s last season) and am comfortable doing 18s atm without tier set but streets is just another level and im wondering if im just not getting the dungeon or if its just a real pain?
yeah the right side is all casters, i cant stand in melee and they melt me
And also F for you only being 80cm tall... Must have it rough
😳
Man.. Phil out here ruining the " being oblivious and innocent" joke
Sorry 
👆
I just cant accept gnomes and vulpera as a real thing
U still on the all t6 mog?
end of last season did some meme 15s and one was a first person run. Didnt see anything in mists as a gnome.
medium races because dwarf is superior for everything
Dwarf is great
can someone link me a route?
@sweet summit can you please share your go left Route in lower taza?
dwarf is also good because built in 3m delete anything but a curse or raidboss debuff
Isnt it 2 mins?
i mean going left would be so much better. its that trash on the right im having trouble with
in 2004 it was 3min, but delete disease, bleed, and poison was always kinda a big deal
i'm not at computer, but sec

notes are a but outdated, but rest should be fine
Thanks so much! Nice to have people actually help me rather than just be like. YoU CaNt TiMe 24s? ShIt PlAyEr
Did the cats get nerfed yet lmao
If you are doing that level of keys already you're definitely not a shit player 
yea
I remember that first Tyrannical week our Enh Shaman prefaded his Astral Shift because he "had a feeling'
i'll see if i can make a pastebin with decent ish routes 
Double cat jump and he barely lived... In a 17 Tyrannical
Yeah Dino and dogs aren't a problem
the rest are okay. I thought maybe i was just struggling coz i dont know the dungeons enough. the 8 old ones can probs do in sleep.
- the thrash dino does has like a 5yard range
We were trying to shroud past cats lmao
but streets ive been going right and literally crying
I noticed going right in streets works if you can fight a pack where it stands
shrouding cats are a waste imo
Would be huge
thats good to know. I probably should actually do the left side so i know what anything does
ancebt dread is an attack/cast speed reduction curse
lava breath is a frontal magic damage hit
lava breath hurts a bunch but nothing else does so just use every CD
try not to have two lavabreaths go off at once, otherwise pretty chill
awesome ill give it a go
also, hounds have to die within a few sec of eachother i think
In response, you might already know. it;'s not massively useful but you can use wo in the buy sell mini game and nothing attacks you.
probably not useful but we tried it earlier and it worked
it is worth doing as long as you already triggered the RP
yeah that's a huge time saver
otherwise you waste most of the wo on the RP
you just have your weakest dps do the whole event solo while the rest clear mailroom trash
thats a good idea
Which Wo do you get? Courtyard pack with the 2 peacekeepers only?
i guess the first one in mailroom?
Oh that'd work too
i use wo by menagerie to start rp, and if we have time finish rp. otherwise mailroom wo to finish
Yeah that would also help with needing an invis skip to mail room for lust timings
thats really cool
Yeah super smart
Also if you get a new Wo in the mail room, the buff is global so you would refresh your buy/sell player's buff
And also give them time to run back to mailroom
My best ravager placement
Feel your pain
Now show your worst !
Pull everything outside from mailroom
Easiest pull in the dungeon
yea, pretty chill with like 2-3 stops
epic
that sounds like a really good way to die to the random group damage
Necro feels so nice as prot now
Yes dude. Just tried it on 2 keys after reading some of the posts from earlier. I'm sold. Feels great.
Someone go indepth here please. How do u do it. Start event then pull wo or just take wo to event then start or what? Not on my comp but tactic sounds golden
My group likes left side, feels like very efficient and easy %
Also hi #protection
im a firm believer of skipping left and right and playing majority of % in the end of the dungeon
pretty sure when a prot warrior gets hits by any magic bolt, it hits least 3 generations of their family
the packs toward the end are messy tho
lots of kicks and potential for dps to accidentally pull other stuff
streets is just rough in general on fort
As long as you LoS/communicate kicks, end is ezpz
Streets, more than other dungeons, feels so easy if you have good/competent DPS
because you bypass so many spooky mechanics/spells
big dps absolves all sins
The sparkcasters at the end are annoying, probably have to let scintillate casts go through and kick the channel ability thing, they probably need to slow down the wind-up on that
oi nerds
is 4 set gud
or is prot still shit with 4 set
kinda wanna slash my wrists seeing other tanks outperform us
its eh
You saw the buffs right
Lol?
dmg was never the issue
Yeah bit of an odd take, but also if you cant read our tier and conclude its at the very least good then idk
They did say they wernt looking to nerf overperforming specs so guessing that means bear stays unless they find a bug with it
where we do 10k others do 13+
they weren't looking to nerf it now
How come the jailer trinket sims like dogshit for prot
but my VDH is creaming his jeans over it
not really. we are lower than pallys and druids, the others we can compete with.
Being lower than pallies and druids isn't exactly a bad thing either.
exactly
surely u arent including ST in this argument
bc vdh is laughable at best
and we beat bdks
doesn't our 2set kinda address the st issue
our st is fine, my point was that vdh is shit
did you time it?
Where does most of our dam come from? I’m trying to figure that out
ye it was free
SS in ST, Revenge in AoE, covenant ability, and execute in execute
i missed some dps cause i kited too mch on the pull with the cats and didnt double pull the 2x goliath pack
so would have been maybe 8.5
alles gut then brother
wouldn't dmg be lower this week in general bc more kiting is required with fort?
moreso because of inspired
fewer double pulls, ccing shit
especially in soa, fuck soa inspired
I feel Ike I’m hitting too many buttons
anything else were facetank gods
basically you're gonna want to go in there and just mash all your buttons
Ok - then I’m on the right track
nope you need to be roughly 1.5-2x as many buttons on prot as other tanks
depending on the second obviously
Will the guides be the same after the buffs?
buff don't change gameplay much, you can just do more more often
and IP stinks less
SR CDR is super cool though, as you can fully SR some stuff I think (ToP Scythe, Hakkar thing, Mueh'zala thing, Halondrus beam, etc)
You're thinking too much. Protection is pretty low brain. Don't wanna get hit? Press Shield Block. Can't press Shield Block? Press Shield Slam. Can't press Shield Slam? Press TClap. Have too much rage? Revenge. Want to press IP? Don't, tell your healer to get gud
Magic thing? Spell Reflect
Big thing? Shield Wall
dont just prio revenge on aoe either, spam that shit always for more slams
Omg your guide is better than most I’ve read!’ Seriously!!
yeah you really don't have to think much for prot's general rotation
shield slam on aoe if you need rage to revenge harder, otherwise just revenge
just don't starve and slam more revenges
prot feels so hard to live on right now 😦
I did a 14 just off of @chrome falcon and @dapper coral guide.. still need more practice but we did it
TOP
it really is just practice
learning to SS if it procs even if you're already mashing revenge
IMO theater is the absolute worst inspired dungeon
18 spires was so much easier ;-;
How are warrior tanks looking for mythic plus with those changes boys?
we might be a little too strong tbh
^
Uh
RL is making me run double defensive trinket on Heroic LoD despite having high mitigation
And not dying
???????????/
Tf is this??/
sounds like an overreaction and over-micromanagement to the rest of your raid being poopsuck and dying
(when i was a bad raid leader that's the kind of thing i would do to compensate)
He's no Max, that's for sure
Okay he admitted it's because healer's are struggling with the actual healing reqs
Alright as long as it isn't some bullshit
yeah sounds about right
making people compensate for other peoples mistakes is not a good long term strat but if your healers can't handle it (whether thats their fault or the dps') then it happens
yeah i've been in that boat
had some truly rancid awful healers in legion but stuck with them forever because they were longterm members of the guild and well-liked socially but eventually it just forces too much carrying from the better players and promotes bitterness
buuuuuuut it's not like there are an infinite number of healers out there 4 weeks into the last tier of a new expansion so...
It's awful when you get blamed for the healers though
Had to parse a 94 damage, 95 healing on Anduin to compensate
Literally received no more than 190k healing overall from any given healer, with 3 of our 5 healers having less than 100k done on me
(Aside from the hpal giving me beacon for 600k)
But before the hpal came in it was the same
Got blamed because I was running double offensive that they were OOM even though they weren't healing me

yeah man gotta go double defensive on anduin that guy really hurts the tanks
Actual definition of healer problem
anduin's melee swings really make you feel like you're being hit by a 25 year old priest
like there is no reason to go defensive on that boss
Micromanaged

3rd raid lead like this
It's fine
Everything's fine
I'm totally not just sending raid leads who don't effectively understand tank logs literal pages of charts and log dives explaining why defensive trinkets are not the problem
hey to be fair i don't understand tank logs either and understanding tank logs is supposed to be my whole job
I mean in raid there's definitely a lot of variables to look at
the conversation doesn't really need to go further than "i'm not dying and i'm not taxing the healers any more than other tanks" imo
Right but that's not enough for some people
They need a full thesis
So my neurodiverse ass sits down and pulls up the data, hyperfixates, and compiles a shitload of info on it
But because this is the internet
People don't actually ask for proof and data because they have the intention to listen to it
godineedtoeitherfindadifferentguildorgetoffthisgame
can you provide me the proof and data that you actually did that
whenever you think you can't drop a specific item, remember that my guild's tank has done 95 DoS since the beginning of season 3 and so far doesn't have the hakkar trinket
45 DoS Just this week 
Check for DoS on his raider io profile https://raider.io/characters/us/azralon/Pegazustorm

is he doing it with friends who can tank spec at least
Blizz prolly has special code on his account that reads might quit game if loots bss, reduce chance to loot by 100%
I got it on my second DOS of the season, then in the cache that week😂
Imagine his loot spec was mistweaver
I hate DOS and the thought of spending that much time in there sickens me
Targeting one item is a strategy for misery
Just run the odds and look at how low your chance per run is
If you don't have aegis
There's like 0 good tank trinkets out there
The proc based ones in raid is not bad
Heart of swarm is decent too
Last seasons 252 scale will do me until i get a new one but fuck farming it, already got new opc
Exactly, he has a 246 one lmao
Ive got 272 bss and 272 codex so i can finally start looting in fury to get some dps tribkegs
Rejoice, for in 5 months scale shall be dead! Unless everyone drags their 272 through all of s4
Fury loot spec ain't it
fury's not bad if you've got a great shield AND don't have a good prot weapon yet AND you're gonna play arms or fury down the road
AND you don't need any tank spec trinkets
I have 265 raid weap and shield so ill work on that from vault after i get a decent weap
Ive got haste vers wep haste vers shield i think im safe
Sounds like you're best off in arms spec looting tbh
Looting 8/11 raid bosses as prot being arms/fury main feels weird
True, i dont play any dps spec so its just whatever spec to target the trinkets
arms table is smaller than fury since no 1hers
so higher chance to get what you want
I guess its dependent on what dungeon youre running
Yeah loot as arms or prot only to target what you need
No because fury loot included both 1h and 2h
It's strictly more diluted
i haven't looked closely at loot tables per dungeon, guess it's possible that some have no 1hers but some 2hers
Then arms and fury would be the same
Tier set?
thanks
Imagine a world where we could reforge tier gear stats for spec specific

hey. i just hit 60, but every dungeon is locked
imagine brining reforging back
reforging was annoying
reforging was just an annoying delay to equipping gear
there's 0 reason for it with hit/exp gone
eh i disagree i think it'd be nice to at least have the opportunity
especially since hit/expertise is gone
it doesn't have to delay equipping it any more than gems and enchants do the same
not to mention you used to have the reforger on the Yak mount
but at the same time it's obviously not "needed" today, the secondary stats don't make that big of a difference (at least for us)
i think looting in wow is bland enough without being able to tweak bad drops to be better
it's fine imo when something drops that's like "this is good but there's something better out there"
I mean making it swap to spec specific eg haste vers for prot, crit haste/mast for arms and haste mast for fury so each tier piece looks different for each spec
blizzard shouldn't be dictating which stats are good for each spec
i should 
and if they tried they'd be wrong half the time anyway
yes, a dog with a crown should
100% hit rate
haste vers for every spec so the gems and enchants become cheap
Im not sayimg blizz chooses im saying we reforhe it yo what we want
would TW increase my ilvl high enough to start normal shadowlands dungeons?
I think so? You can also buy the cheapest crafted gear on the AH
ilvl of items from these campaign quests are < my old BFA epics
isnt normal shadowlands dungeons like ilvl 200
Hit 60 and buy a full set of 233 crafted gear
looks like i havent even been to zerith mortis. is that pvp?
its the newest zone for this patch
Yes time walking is a good way
pve
time walking will also get you a free 252 piece, but the actual drops are kind of low
idk just do anything tbh
yep sry i know my questions are noobish
no it's all good, there's a lot to do at max lvl lol
Everyone is a newbie at some point.
Full set of crafted gear at 233, single 262 crafted with some bonus proc/stat, head to zm the quest reward gear starts at 226/236
what is required to go to ZM?
Quick zm guide
Just campaign
There should be a campaign quest in Oribos to go there
I'm 1/2 thru Ardenweald and havent touched that R zone
did u get lost wtf
do u think i can pick up the ZM quest?
I think anyone can do it
nah did TW and dungeons with full rested. i quit twice
thanks ill check it out
and thanks for that guide
yeah it is
Which sounds like it s
yeah i played every other expansion, and i roll over these campaign quests too easily
Yeah, you'll have to do the story at least once. If you're in ardenweald you have revendreth to go. I liked the quest story though.
revendreth rules
They do, you skip to chapter 3
Prob not too good of an idea for a full skip
For mains that havent completed any story yet, they need a skip to zm
You only need to do the intro to Korthia to get the intro to zm I believe
1 button for a 265 leggo
Well they want you to experience it for first time at least
They removed half of the quests that helped you understand it
thanks again for the info, everyone
Honestly yeah, people who come late, don't finish their covenant campaigns or Korthia or may be a bit lost, but the content is there.
Lol "This is the way" is the name of the next storyline in Ardenweald
🇺🇬
oh do i have an item that unlocks these chests in Ardenweald that I keep seeing? it says they are locked
They're usually locked by some puzzle in the immediate area
ok
yeah they might be important for achievements or cosmetics or something but if just hit endgame and come back later if you care about any of it
should i consider a certain profession? my engineering thru BFA is max, but my other profession basically is empty
a different toon is a max blacksmith (an old level 50 dk), so if most things are tradeable my main prot warrior could consider a different second profession.
i guess it's 4:30 am, so most people probably are asleep
Engineering is like the only profession that does anything for you in terms of quality of life in wow
Be it the wormhole generator, auction house or combat res.
yeah I have those. i used to play a ton
it's nice that it's still viable and useful
I figured they disabled unstable time shifter, but it's still on my toolbar and yea I just noticed there is no level restriction
cool name btw
I've never had any professions outside of Enchanting/Inscription at lvl 1 for that Disenchant and opening of doors in Tol'Dagor.

No doors in SL, except Mists which does not require a profession
Do you believe these buffs on protection warrior will mean anything?
? Are you referring to my question?
Weren't you not asking about next reset buff?
I am asking about the class tuning that was shown two days before
Then yes, i was answering this one 🙂
I saw it***
Sorry, after reading myself I found my answer a bit harsh, not intended 🙂
i'm only disappointed some other tanks cough bear cough haven't been touched yet
im a bit confused how to acquire "one free legendary." I just hit 60, and am about to finish Ardenweald's campaign. I haven't touched Revendrath (sp?) or Zeth'Mortis yet
Maybe give us a better version of ignore pain
end of legion IP was ridiculous OP
they kinda did that when they buffed it
Make it to 80% would make at least the ignore pain viable for magic dmg mitigation.
I would prefer a larger IP pool over a better mitigation, especially in late expansion
not with this tier set, kuku
IP already does mitigate magic dmg? Or do I misunderstand you
rage when damage taken and indomitable to 2% and i would be gucci
What do you mean?
Higher % of mitigation from IP is always better than a larger pool of it
@lime urchin it does. sometimes, it is preferable to cast IP than shield block, IF the pull is consisted of casters and your pug group doesnt interrupt them.
That way you can actually count on it mattering
And what erga is referring to is that with tier youll have absurd amount of IP uptime
And very high IP usage, making the "larger pool" largely irrlevenat since you'll be recasting it alot
I haven't tier pieces. I dont know how good they are. Is outburst good?
They said they are giving it another week before looking at nerfing specific specs.

How often do you usually get outburst in dungeon?
every 30 or so seconds + avatar outburst?
I actually did dungeons this week to get more chance of tier set.
i have logs, but i can't check

pog
Sounds huge
It is

What is your apm? 😏
5
300
Im free from around 4 ST today
So, haste is even more a must stat for uptime?
Into the fray or ravager?
Rav
Ravager in dungeon
Ok ok
69 cpm in mists 
And thats with downtime
@west walrus pray that your pug group may interrupt spells you take dmg from.
That's why I mostly play NF 🤣
You wasted rage.
Smh.
Git
Gud.
Me too buddy. It feels so good that you dont have to worry about spells.
Necro, if i play premade and Kyrian for dmg
I last my banner for a minute.
I want to break something when a boomie use typhoon, and moves packs away from my AA 
Especially in ToP
I just hit Revendreth. Should I worry about these covenant quests in Oribos, or is completing the campaign my only focus?
Just be Kyrian.
I'll do that on sanguine weeks 
I hope next week, we wont have necrotic.
What is it this week again?
It would feel like a rest week. I would simply do weekly 15s and that is all
Necrotic is pretty chill now from what I've heard
I see these weeks when necrotic is up, there is not a tank shown up on pugs.
The same way people are worried about prot warriors, habits
We barely have three pots with ksm on my realm lol
Ah yes, the good old "WHY DID YOU INVITE A WARRIOR TANK????" followed by a "What the hell, how do you do so much damage????" at the end of the dungeon.
😂
We do less damage than guardians and vengeance. Even monks beat us. I dont want to talk about palas.
I honestly don't know how much damage they do.
trying

Anyone can give me numbers?
45
np
My friend had a vengeance tank that did dmg on par with dps. And I tried my best for 7k and up.
Well, it depends on the pulls.
nerf did 12k in a SD, that's all i know about bdk this season
Has nothing to do with the pulls in the same situation all tanks do the same dmg except bears
Maybe I am just bad. I need to get good.
That's the spirit!
Mdi is gonna be Hella wild
That I can tell you
Lots of bears, lots of vdh, and maybe a few bdks
I hope echo can compete
Well, 15s are like 13k the dps and I am 7k dps
If they are too fried it's a big L for the quality of the cups
Na echo is gonna compete
I may need to watch some plka streams to see
💯
Plka does like 9k on his pwar but he only has 2p and plays necro
But he is slowly doing higher keys
I dont have any piece set
pog
Is 7k good for 257 ilvl geared?
Just remember the following:
Watch Sense
Try to copy what he does
Fail miserably and realise you will never be as good as him
No.
Even with 0 tier pieces?
Ok :(
Do you have double legendaries?
Yes, I play NF
we could do 10k in some keys last season, but then we lost shards, but then we got buffed
Maybe I need to switch to Kyrian for extra dmg
Kyrian and NF are the same dmg roughly
Or I need to increase my critical for extra tank dmg
And as erga said, with 257 you should be able to pump 10k in good keys
Has nothing to do with stats m8
Buttons
Ok
Do you press em?
Yes
I try my best.
Do you have logs?
Nagoku-stormscale
Wait, are you niya for m+?
@ionic fern idk. Isnt logs on raids?
Also
Yes
Why are you using Bolster
It feels to have good uptime
..............................................................
.............................................................................................
.........................................................................................................
Ok, I get it.
Do you feel my dissapointment?
I feel it.
Anger management then.
You should have more than enough SB up-time when Charging/Intervening properly.
AM is a huge dps increase
If you really-really are worried about your SB up-time then you should run HR instead of Bolster.
But generally i would say 99% go for AM.
And swap to Korayn.
Ok
Korea owns for keys
Icy-veins is a bit tricky on prot warriors.
You can also log m+.
Explain.
Maybe i can help shine some light on some of the tricky parts.
And then inform the writer that they should change something up to be better understood.
👍


Is Korayn outperforming mikanikos this season?
Bolster is the best option on the row if you are going for a more defensive setup. The extra Shield Block Icon Shield Block uptime it provides helps us cover our Shield Block gaps, making our damage intake a lot smoother overall.
I considered trying necro but i don’t have a consistent group to know if banner is worthwhile for them
That's from the talent page
I think that’s either outdated info, or talents without leggos etc
It doesn't take Legendaries into consideration
Just talent explanation.
If you take a look at the M+ page
Okay
Its for casuals
necro feels good regardless, but it's less dps if you miss/misstime it 
But i will let the writer know to add a nice disclaimer on the top that the information in the Talent page is without considering Legendaries.

I kinda figured. I also feel like I’m usually playing with at least one carry when tanking so I’d essentially be squandering that buff
I see, thanks guys!
Plus I do solid damage as prot since I tank like and am a dps main lol
I am looking forward to playing with Kevin 
Niya is the most offensive option of the choices. Grove Invigoration Icon Grove Invigoration will provide us with some extra Mastery and Health. Is this updated? Or is it not true about picking Niya?
Nice!
Okay, I am convinced
Great.
Will it increase my dmg significantly, though?
Not as much as playing correctly.
But swapping from Niya to Korayn and Bolster to AM will provide you with more damage.
Next step would be logging a m+ run.
Then we can dig deeper into your casts/performance.
I will learn how to do it.
Exactly the same as logging a raid.
Still doesnt know, i expect from raid party to do the work.
But, I am intrigued by all of this.
Still, a grand thank you! I will get better!
based attitude
I am a diligent person, if I am passioned by it.
And I try to do my best with the friends I am playing with, my cousins and friends.
Sometimes this information comes as a slap cause hey! We all pro's
@lyric geode But bare with em. Knowledge is key! For timing a key ;)
I will inform my group about all of this. Logs are important.
Can we talk about DoS for a min pls
The ring mobs.
I get the absolute shit kicked out of me every time
same 
the rest of the dungeon is absolute piss by comparison
I can do huge arden pulls no sweat at all
but those ring mobs just fucking delete me

You mean the casters?
Literally any of the packs i'm on life support
I can usually survive pull 1 by emptying my toolkit but then im fucked for pull 2
Ah, I have my team bl on this pack. I know it is ineffective, but it is safe.
a lot of the melee mobs do magic damage too I think
we blow everything pull1 then go straight to ardenweald
after boss u have cds again for scary pull outside ardenweald
I know hurrrrr prot bad but ive never seen ppal or Gdruid have anything close to as much trouble as they give me
I'm a fairly "okay" player too like it shouldnt be this rough
So im here for copium
Those packs are so group reliant it's not even funny.
Druid/Pally have more utility to deal with them..e.g stupid broken legendaries or infinity interrupts.
I've had packs on a +13 hurt more than packs on a +19 because people are mongo and don't interrupt.
NF is actually a really solid choice for DoS just because of those packs.
😂
shockwave and AA, not thought of that....
thats a lot of utility
doesn't stop deathspeaker cast 
Buffs on weds should help a bit tho
Agreed.
Most unfun affix
that one pack in NW too
Delete it
Nuke inspiring.
i use orb there.
ya i don't play that necromancer pack
fucking bants from blizz
but i feel u
tbf tho aside from DoS and that pack this week has been pretty easy
got most of the progress to my KSM done, i'll get it on reset next week
Necrotic Tyr is nice too
I feel Tyr is for push weeks, fortified is more punishing.
Yeah Tyr has always been the easy side of the coin
Quick question, with up coming puffs to Prot was Wars a a whole, do you think buffs + tier will help Wars with DMG and staying alive or are we sill bottom tier?
Personally i think they need to get rid of Tyr/Fort and just have proper tuning
The buffs are fully defensive. offensively we are already in a solid spot.
My experience has been fairly competitive damage wise, but survivability has been a bit lacking
Personally, I prefer skittish than Inspiring.
Our ST is near (slightly behind) other tanks and so is AoE (outside of Gdruid).
Okay thank you for the response, I'll keep my head up
👍
PF is chill.
PF is just weird, that is all. I expect a bit too much maybe.
fortified has always been harder on the tank compared to tyrannical
yeah, people were saying for pushing though
Tyrannical was the real show stopper before tho thanks to stupidly overtuned boss mechanics one shotting people.
yeah true
i feel like it's pretty even now though
Jeah, the boss design is better.
The RNG deaths in Legion/BfA dungeons were hilarious.
In high tyrannical keys.
they also directly nerfed tyrannical
Both weeks are push weeks now
It all depends on the other affixes
Fort is harder on the tank, tyr is harder on the dps
NW SD TOP all goated, DOS After ring mobs is fun
PF is slow i feel tho - mechanical trash makes it hard to double or triple pull like you can in other dungeons
PF is super fast, but feels slow
Timing pf is legit just
Hold W
Pull 1, max 2 packs
Then hold more W
GG
You timed it
I think the only double i actually do is the big giant guy into a pack of mushrooms at the start
then its just onepack the whole way round
never seen the point honestly
You double pull between 1st and 2nd boss
I did PF19 and skipped it, and didnt feel it was much faster
terrible mobs and inefficient pulls
didnt feel easier either
I also remained largely unconvinced by the DoS power gathering strat in S2
I never do that because pug's are horrid. 9/10 times someone still pulls something somehow.
Same as the ToP start.
😂
play with better pugs 
Imagine.

So so so many dead rogues and druids running ahead of me
And getting onebombed by the bloodhorn
It allows you to use boss RP time
As opposed to using your actual time
No I mean on PF
Oh
On top I fully understand
Yeah I agree I’ve never seen much benefit in it
I mean..the thrash is kinda horrid in PF. People don't interrupt/Stun etc.
ANd it can go to hell real fast.
There are like 3 kicks
Compared to the rest of the dungeon.
If you manage that you’re laughing
I think a lot of the time tho people watch MDI strats that are super specific to a team, comp or strat and assume that’s the baseline requirement for timing it
Realistically you can time anything by just pressing w, it’s just risk management
Jeah, i love DPS players trying to encourage MDI pulls and then proceed to do less DPS than the tank.

Idk I also always found shrooms easy, just need 3 stuns and a few kicks and you're Gucci
Good %
yeah MDI puts an unrealistic picture of keys in peoples heads
Are you R1 yet Erga?
Do you want to risk an invis skip as a potential gain vs the potential loss of it going wrong?
I had a mists 17 blow up in my face the other day
no mwahi, i'm bad
Didn’t bring a fae, massive Wo skip off the start
Paladin died and released
No way of getting him back to us at the gorms
Game over
So prot is getting a buff tomorrow
Yes
Cool

I really expected a question there hahahah
XD

I love getting declined for 15 ToP when I have timed 18s this week already
"but prot war bad"
:)
There is a lot of competition in 15s
I like when in ToP, people keep telling me it is impossible to not pull Bloodhorn 
Honestly for a 15 ToP, I just keep it simple. The only skip I bother with is the fat lad in the side chamber on the way to Gorechop
Is NF all best recommendation for protection?
I mean, so we deal with interrupt
And giving dps more room to brust
how do you not pull it? 😦
i usually want to pull it. but still interested 🙂
Door of shadows/heroic leap/lock portal around the corner maybe? Just a guess as I’ve never seen it.
mind soothe?
you can just walk past it if you hug the wall properly
Just walk on the side, near guards, dont be hit
I usually wait before pulling it into bosses
sounds like a too delicate thing for a pug to handle
I find it fun :D
🙂
is it the same with the mini boss in NW? i usually leap by but maybe thats not needed?
you can technically walk past but its suuuper tight
Such a blatant lie
There are no good tanks

For Protection Warrior, the only real rule on Covs is "don't be Venthyr"
maybe, but after seeing ppals doing +20 no healer, healing self and group trough all dungs easily
You don't get what I meant
guess u guys talked about real tanks 😅
We talked about the player
There are no good tank players
"you either die to shit tanks, or live long enough to become the shit tank yourself"
That's the law
And BTW pallies have been doing that in every expansion that m+ existed
Zmok did plenty of no healer runs in bfa
i feel even if we get +10% vanguard we wont come up to even rival them, but what do i know
People even did a pwar no healer run +26 in bfa
Im a good tank 😎
i saw prot run bfa, they had ppal tank in group to heal once in a while, rest were pwarrs
Ive decided i am
I mean we did 5 pwar runs
In SL
During grievous and necrotic
And it was super smooth
5 tanks ye, but that dont compare to tank alone doing it all. but ye anyway
With 4 dps everything dies omega quickly
So nobody takes alot of dmg
And if you take a boomkin and a warlock with you, that's 2 targets that don't need healing and provide healing to others aswell
Or venth enhance
Ye
Alright got my reprisal refracted, time to try prot again
So necro is the most defensive, NF the most useful and kyrian the most damage right?
Also what do you guys do for intervene? I have a macro for mouseover intervene or charge my target, but maybe focus target intervene would be easier, just not sure how that would work without having another keybind
also I use focus for kicks
If you want to have both focus and mouseover it's gonna take 2 buttons, or 2 different button combinations anyway
Kyrian / NF are practically the same dmg, both have their merits.
Spear tether is awesome to stop leap Bois to leap or kite stuff without having mobs all over the place
NF is great because of first strike and the knockdown can be really useful to keep caster packs knocked down
This is my Intervene macro; I set a melee (usually my pumper Fury Warrior friend) as focus:
/cast [@mouseover, help, nodead, exists][@mouseovertarget, help, nodead, exists][@focus, help, nodead, exists][target=targettarget, help, nodead, exists][]Intervene
For interrupts I just use a mouseover macro and of course Plater with no overlap turned on
i do not appreciate leap bois
in ToP?
or NW
Try the cats in Streets, they are nasty too xD
😦
number buff looking juicy, boys
why the first 2?
Those damn casters
Im usually running for my life at that point anyway
DoS pulls aren't hard because of the casters
They are because of the small skeletons
And their attacks are melee range instant magic dmg nukes
So kyrian is actually better because of the tether
They are not in the first pull though.
That's why i'm a dwarf
Just have a healer that can dispel disease
BiS race lol
Dwarf/did will be bis yes
stoneform is lovely
kyrian or necrolord?????
necro for tankyness, kyrian for all around / dps
in big packs when ive got spear and ravager down and im blasting revenges to dump as much rage as I can, when do I prioritize SS procs over revenge?
I often find myself with a ton of rage even with SB, IP up and revenge spamming, so then i see SS light up and its like damn do i use this and overcap on rage or wait until I need it and keep revenge spamming?
IP
Also petition to remove Demo Shouts GCD
youre a madman im going over your halls +23 log cant believe you went for shard pull
Wait we can see erga’s logs?? Link pls!

this is not supposed to happen right?
it hurt
Still good to look and learn for the plebs
that's probably me using TC for aggro at the start of a pull
yeah its right at the start of first pull
first pull isn't too bad
+23 shard pull on fort week
that's just trying to not overcap rage
guess it depends on group, My pug DPS usually just blast on first pull and dont think to kick other than collect sins
I try but with the bolts going out and everything else going on not easy
so collect sins is always on tank?
on person with aggro
Should be
kk
The curses are on dps
