i have no idea where the fuck you're meant to bring the dragon in gambit to avoid the grapeshot

#

grapeshot is the chain hook?

chrome falcon

grapeshot is the fire on the ground

#

wtf is grapeshot

#

oh u only get the first one

lofty widget
#

well it's targeted isnt it

sweet summit
#

ya

#

kinda

chrome falcon
#

definitely felt like i got the second one too

#

but to be fair we didn't get very far into the pull because my healer's portal wasn't working

Does that proc when you kill the relics?

hammer you get at the start but unless you chain pull or get summons it falls off, this week with spiteful and small mobs dying fast it felt amazing

#

to have on deaths

urban portal
#

you dont get chompers until everything is dead

#

spiteful comes when mobs are already dead

#

and you dont need the haste anymore

#

and spitefuls also procs hammer so its the same for both

chrome falcon
#

i mean the real problem with chompers is that your soulbind sucks anyway

#

and you should just be marileth

#

or heirmir

thought you were talking about prot buffs here i was ready to main it

#

are people using ashen this week in keys? i cant decide what potency to run in m+ to maximize dmg

#

running hammer on mikanos

sweet summit
#

ashen is great for finishing off boses

#

otherwise you can just run AAF

#

whats the other potency then

sweet summit
#

PV ofc

pallid musk
#

Kinda hate protection spec 2pc with outbrust when you want dump 1 SB to make outbrust crit 3x

#

To get extra rage but how even possible to keep many eye on SB / Outbrust/ HP / party screen

#

It’s too much to handle as tank

what missives should i put on prot boots reprisal leggo? haste/mast?

I want tank in m+ but im done to tank in protection since i can’t get better

chrome falcon
#

i mean

#

just kill the manifestation add

#

that's how you avoid that damage

pallid musk
#

Told just stun the ghost and kill it asap

#

Since reprisal warrior don’t run SB we should get free SB

#

Storm bolt ”

urban portal
#

You can run bolt

#

You also have shockwave

#

And fear

strong forum
#

you can absolutely run stormbolt

pallid musk
#

And party 1 dk can Asphyxiate one

chrome falcon
#

why are you so worried about stunning the ghost anyway exactly

mighty valley
#

if you stun it on spawn it doesn't do nearly as much dmg

pallid musk
#

Well i don’t doing good dmg as i use on my defensive

ruby berry
#

If your group is having trouble with that boss and you really want to min max it, the dps rotate cds on the add.

pallid musk
#

I regret i took double time. Should have run Storm bolt over that

strong forum
#

i regret running double time in ToP aswell

#

legit inting to take doubletime in Top

#

Yea it sucked when i learned double time isntbest deal in tyrannical in most of dungemon

chrome falcon
#

someone please explain how i go from 5 stacks to outburst with one IP

#

0 sense

forest fern
#

You sure you aren’t popping avatar and wearing 4 piece, maybe it’s that

#

Also it’s off the gcd right, that could mean your potentially double tapping it by accident and casting 2 if you have enough rage to do it

chrome falcon
#

i'm 100% sure it's not the first one

#

because the whole issue arises where i press avatar and IP simultaneously at 5 stacks

#

and end up with 1 outburst

#

instead of 1 outburst and 6/7 stacks

#

and it's off the GCD, but it has its own internal cooldown

#

i'll try to catch it happening on logs because i can say with 100% certainty that i have had IP take me from 5 stacks to outburst

strong forum
#

kinda happy with that outcome

#

SD without venthyr buff

#

and 250ilvl without tier

timber dagger
#

with 4 set prot can easily hit 10k+

well yeah duh

we've done 10k last patch already

blazing condor

#

but 10k with full tier i wouldnt be happy with ngl

#

13k moreso

chrome falcon
#

i haven't broken 12k yet this week but tyrannical so eh

mighty valley
#

put on the jailer trinket for shits and giggles on normal tier farm and still taking about half the damage of bdk cotank

quick geode
#

Are we running a 2 piece over ilvl?

mighty valley
#

yes

real thunder
#

Question about stats...how important is ilvl vs tertiary stats(leech/avoidance)? Say the difference is 278 with no tertiary stats vs a 271 with tertiary stats.

mighty valley
#

278 every day

#

Tertiary stats are extremely minor, at least for us

#

Nice if you get them but they don

#

't change your gearing choices at all

real thunder
#

even on neck/rings?

mighty valley
#

Yeah, look at the numbers, they're just very minor effects

Hey guys. I'm looking to pick a tank alt to play, mainly in M+. How fun is the warrior tier set? I heard that community perception of warrior tanks isn't that great, but then they got buffed a bit.

real fossil
#

It’s more difficult to play than other specs and I wouldn’t suggest it for a fun alt tbh unless you really like the warrior fantasy

cosmic wharf
#

I find mobility super fun, so I'm currently deciding between warrior and monk.

real fossil
#

Monk 🤷🏼‍♂️

strong forum
#

To quote several people
"the most fun pwar has been ever"

If you're into giga fast specs, pwar is your choice

Can highly recommend it especially if you don't plan on pushing ultra keys like 27++

Any of you guys any good with WA's? I want an outburst tracker that plays the m1 garand ping sound when i get to max stax and can shield slam

That's a massive undertaking lmao

# deft granite have a link?

That will get patched very soon. I just found it on you tube. I would be interested also in how best to deal with that boss too. It just get manic every time we do it.

uncut notch
civic torrent
#

Something to learn then brosef

uncut notch
#

yeah but im assuming a lot of you will already be running outburst trackers anyway

civic torrent
#

I think you'll need an add-on because I'm pretty sure if you cant get or download a custom sound with wa's

#

Then you're add-on would have to register the sound which you can see how causese sounds add-on does it

#

Then when its registered on the show of the outburst wa you pick to play a sound with the sound your register

#

Its not a simple "bing-bang-boom" clickity clickity and you get a new garand sound

teal swift
#

It's pretty easy to add new assets like sounds and images to weak auras....

#

So idk what you're on about

#

@uncut notch join the weak auras discord. They will help you there.

civic torrent
#

99% sure youd need to provide the sound and register it before it becomes available for use

#

You might be thinking of once it's already register my dude

teal swift
#

What do you mean "register"

uncut notch
teal swift
#

Move the sound file, into the folder, and select it. It's not rocket science. yuzu

#

Gl have fun. Still no idea what this guy means about "registering it"

mighty valley
#

Whenever I get PI, Gas Gas Gas starts playing

teal swift
#

Brilliant

#

Did you make that?

mighty valley
#

And Vengabus when someone casts treants

#

Nah a friend did

teal swift
#

Like you move sound file to folder

#

And select it innweak auras

#

So I have no fucking idea what this guy means by provide and register it

mighty valley
#

Yeah it’s just local file stuff

Hi guys. One question; its worth playing Necro prot (versus kirian) on M+? Theme-wise I LOVE necro, fleshcraft ita really cool too... but spear + vial has proven really useful for me.

#

Also, which trinket combo its best? Im running on scale + sigil, having access to double kirian vial its OP.

strong forum
#

Necro is good in keys once you have tier, it's more defensive
Kyrian is more dmg
As for best trinket Combo it'll prolly be aegis + X

blazing condor
#

Feels like aegis + codex will be used a lot

#

In high keys at least

#

Unless they run weave

exotic pewter
#

So scale its not bis?

strong forum
#

Scale is still good, but not bis

#

Imo

median tulip
#

Scale is situationally excellent. If you need an extra cooldown for a particular boss, it's good.

i don't think i saw him play frost very often, maybe a few times in pvp with his friend

#

he always claimed frost sucked big dick or something to that extent

"garbage" was the word he'd use to trash things

how do you guys handle Soulcrusher on MuehZala? the cast bar is so short

distant crystal
#

littlewigs/dbm will show you the cooldown

#

you don't need to react to the cast

#

it'll always come right after the left/right/close combo thing

#

and then i think one more in between, maybe 2 more?

bright salmon
#

There's an energy bar. When its near 100 just reflect

craggy pilot
#

ohhh

#

didnt know its energy based

bright salmon
#

Hell you could probably press reflect at 70% energy and be fine. Bar fills fast

#

Not sure u can reflect it eveytime, even with the reflect buff

mellow bridge
#

even if you cant reflect it, the initial hit is blockable

#

and the size of the dot is determind by how hard the initial hit was

#

so it's not very big for prot warriors even if you miss a SR 👍

bright salmon
#

Don't u avoid the entire hit, if u reflect? Or do u just avoid the dot?

distant crystal
#

hmm, if the physical is blockable and the dot is based on the physical's dmg

#

you'd want to SB or SR it, but not both?

#

so the reflected dot is bigger?

mighty cairn
#

shield block reduces the initial hit and dot, the dot is magic dmg and can be mitigated by sr

distant crystal
#

it's reflectable not just DR'd

lofty widget
#

it's only deflected

distant crystal
#

i guess if you press it late

lofty widget
#

doesnt do dmg to the boss

distant crystal
#

ohh rip

mellow bridge
#

you want to do both whenever possible

#

the hit is still going to hit hard if you dont block it even if you use SR

#

and yeah as it's just a deflect, you want to make sure to not get hit too hard

urban portal
#

Not unless it's a bear, you can definitely take a bear over another dps

does it reset when you recast DRW?

or can they keep up the 75% perm?

so if you cast DRW before then, does it reset the stacks, or keep it going at 75?

ye but you can reduce the CD

and extend the duration

strong forum

Why would you recast drw when it's still up?

lofty widget

in raid, absolutely

strong forum
#

With 2pc?

#

I dunno bout that

lofty widget

would be close with 2p

mighty valley
#

With 2pc on pure uptime fights it’s basically 100% but there aren’t many of those

#

And it’s a lot harder without 4pc to extend duration long enough to cover required gaps

balmy narwhal

does 4 piece give more rage?

sweet summit

ya

mighty valley
#

Yes, avatar gives outburst

pallid musk

Yes more rage and banner uptime

candid nacelle
#

thoughts on unstoppable force with 4 set, especially on fortified weeks? ive tried it out in 20s this week and thunderclap does more damage than my spear. ravager might be more rage at the start of a pull but i feel like the rage and threat generation is way more consistent with unstoppable force

strong forum
#

Dead talent

#

Don't even think about it

candid nacelle
#

it also means ur casting less revenges which is more rage efficient and makes booming voice a better option

#

Casting less revenge is bad.

dawn canyon
#

I dont think you want to not cast revenge

strong forum
#

TC does half the dmg of revenge

craggy pilot
#

but sounds like you can extend it infinitely

#

which sounds OP as fk

strong forum
#

So you're spending more gcds casting a bad spell

craggy pilot
#

maybe 75% is a bit high when it is infinite 🤣

candid nacelle
#

its generating rage which can be used on revenges too

dawn canyon
#

On Echos mythic rygelon noawhs BDK was like 300 dps behind the boomkins

strong forum
#

And when do you plan on using revenge

#

When you spend 3/4 gcds on shield slam and TC

candid nacelle
#

when u dont get shield slam procs

strong forum
#

So what do you do with the extra rage, just pump more into IP

candid nacelle
#

yes

strong forum
#

Which you already overload on anyway

#

So you waste more rage, to press a worse spell more often

#

BTW to beat out ravager rage gen, you'd need to cast 11 extra TCs in the 45sec window

#

Actually that's only breaking even with Ravager

#

11 extra TCs

uncut notch
#

just got my 2pc which is nice

candid nacelle
#

hmm

#

ya...

#

Seems to be VERY slow to generate stax tho

strong forum
#

Ravager generates 60 rage without fail

candid nacelle
#

that sucks i miss bfa playstyle so much bros

strong forum
#

Bfa playstyle is unfeasible to play rn

#

Because you can't find enough windows to use revenge during avatar

#

Which is just cancer

#

You can't dump rage offensively with playing UF

candid nacelle
#

yeah

strong forum
#

And given that you're already severely overloaded on rage

#

It's just ass

#

BTW, if you didn't know already

#

never use outburst on TC

#

never

candid nacelle
#

taking anger management makes ignore pain seem more necessary as shield block uptime is less

strong forum
#

You're using 17 ignore pains per minute if not more already

#

Just by playing

#

Often you literally can't press IP fast enough

#

IP is not necessary defensively, its necessary to prevent overcapping rage

#

That's its main use

balmy narwhal
#

you guys say never use TC on outburst, even for AOE damage?

strong forum
#

Yes

#

It's a dps loss to use outburst on TC

lofty widget
#

2x revenge is more aoe dmg

#

that you get from empowered ss

strong forum
#

By using it on SS you get 45 rage, which fuels the AM rage feedback more and aswell grants you 2 revenge casts

#

And those 2 revenge casts will deal more dmg than the outburst TC would

candid nacelle
#

makes sense thanks

mellow gorge
#

isn't outburst on TC for slow good?

#

like if you really need it

waxen orbit
#

Not really

#

Solid AOE damage on +6 targets though

mellow gorge
#

i mean yeah

waxen orbit
#

Assuming avatar is up

sturdy sable
#

Still less damage then 2 revenges tho

mellow gorge
#

true,

sturdy sable
#

And the empowered SS

waxen orbit
#

Depends on how hard your revenges hit vs your TC with the empowerment. SS is more reliable but I’ve had 12k TC hits per target before (take with a grain of salt because I run 34% crit)

#

Use SS empowerment when possible but a TC empowerment in AOE isn’t the end of the world

strong forum
#

Revenge hits around 30-40% harder than TC

#

we killed it last pull of the night because war bugged

Hello America

chrome falcon
#

destro 🙂

strong forum
#

Destro

chrome falcon
#

also the rest of your group did 0 dps

#

so the destro had it all to themself

strong forum
#

23k is on the low side for hoa for a destro

sturdy sable
#

Yeah the warlock took it all lmao

strong forum
#

I've seen as much as 34k from warlocks in hoa

sturdy sable

A true key enjoyer

I only invite boomkins, frostmages and

What's another spec that does 0 fucking dmg

chrome falcon
#

us

quaint glade
strong forum
#

For mage that's actually true

#

Havoc tho does all his dmg in like 3 globals

#

Eyebeam blade dance glaive tempest

quaint glade
#

Pretty low dps from mage tho

strong forum
#

Frostmages all forgot how to do dmg

quaint glade
#

I’m not better neither with 5.8k lmao

But both of my trinkets are tank trinkets too

quaint glade
#

What is feral druid?

#

Have heard the tales of those beasts, never seen one

chrome falcon
#

because it's empty?

#

same as us then

quaint glade
#

Ret Palas are underrated

#

I’m glad survival became a thing tho

#

Was about to be written in red book as endangered species

chrome falcon
#

ret is absolutely dogshit

#

for context my ret pala raider was dead for over 40 seconds on our first pantheon kill

#

and he got like

#

rank 4

#

he sacced me and had to bubble

#

owned nerd

#

he got a purple parse

#

my surv hunter got a green parse

#

did over 3k more than him

quaint glade
#

So I have no tier set, not even 1 do you guys think it will be possible for me to do ToP 20?

chrome falcon
#

not impossible but you're gonna want to be doing more than 6k dps i think

quaint glade
#

Overall or st?

chrome falcon
#

overall

#

6k is fine on ST

mellow gorge
#

thats deffo possible

#

with spell reflect last boss chain

#

chain spell reflect*

quaint glade
#

Overall I usually do 6k+ but the run I sent was my first ever run to 19

#

So I was quite nervous

#

Will try it tomorrow

chrome falcon
#

6k on aoe this patch would be like

#

uh

#

yeah not good

#

important to remember that killing the pack faster reduces your damage taken more than any amount of IP

#

yeah i get you

#

i don't think 6k on aoe is physically possible

#

was on arms look spec for pantheon tonight got a 278 weapon

#

🙃 that's ok i didn't want a first sigil

#

yeah correct

#

with signet?

#

if you really want to try bonegrinder it procs off ravager

#

it's not terrible but it's not as good as it probably sounds in your head rn

#

you'll do an absolute shitmillion damage for 4-6 globals and then have no rage

#

tbf i did think signet was interesting with how often we cast avatar

#

but reprisal is just too important to our basic survival

dawn canyon
chrome falcon
#

i'm here for the extremely suboptimal aoe builds

#

i would kill for a real double legendary system

#

instead of "one legendary and everyone's covenant ability got buffed" which is what this actually is

#

reprisal+signet/seismic would be so sick

#

sure i'd probably wear reprisal+glory even if i could choose a different second legendary

#

it's just silly that people are calling this "double legendary" when it's reaaaaaally not

dawn canyon
#

Which is sad

#

Since CN i wanted to play Frenzied monstrosity + deadliest coil on dk

latent pier
#

we're a victim of having actually interesting alt legos in a game where like, only four specs have that

#

Seismic + reprisal woulda been fun.

chrome falcon
#

yeah it's pretty obvious that they didn't design these legendaries with double legendaries in mind

#

which was a weird decision

latent pier
#

some insane potential if they unlocked doubles for warlocks.

#

but the warlock covenant legos are insane so eh

dawn canyon
#

The combo of both would be so fucking cool

#

Yea agree

latent pier
#

i would gladly lose reprisal in 10.0 if I can just like

#

take a fucking hit

dawn canyon
#

Uh and frost need some love outsife of their borrowed Power

latent pier
#

and not have to run away when my block is down

#

Why is every tank squishy like what the shit

dawn canyon
#

L + nerd + C tier + reroll brewmaster

latent pier
#

at least brew is fun.

dawn canyon
#

It looks fun

latent pier
#

I'd play one if I didn't hate sl gearing

#

maybe once the catalyst fully unlocks

#

Monk is one of my favorite classes since they absolutely ruined sub rogue in legion.

#

Yes, sub performs well now, but it's so mindless that I can't play it anymore.

#

I only really like outlaw of the three right now.

#

For some reason blade flurry isn't uncapped, even though the reason it was op in BFA was due to a trait that no longer exists.

dawn canyon
latent pier
#

SO MUCH FUN

#

MUCH WOW

dawn canyon
#

How's Outlaw btw

latent pier
#

It's fun.

dawn canyon
#

They seem really cool

#

But i never see any

latent pier
#

One of the best conduits in the game too.

#

Like it's a genuinely well designed conduit

#

just a shame they aren't the best r/n

dawn canyon
#

Is Outlaw necro rn or also venthyr?

latent pier
#

this is really cool.

#

I mained outlaw in nathria before switching to demo.

dawn canyon
#

Bonespike looks cool af

latent pier
#

Bonespike is my favorite covenant ability in the game too.

dawn canyon
#

Ill definitely have to get my rogue to 60 soon

#

Outlaw is appealing because of it's apparently high apm

#

Anything fury paced i think id enjoy

latent pier
#

ruined my favorite spec :(

dawn canyon
#

Well they capped bursting spores

#

Thought i was both

#

Like the combo

latent pier
#

it's really stupid for outlaw's case because the thing that made uncapped bladeflurry op doesn't exist anymore

dawn canyon
#

It's 8 and then square root or something

#

Idk i hate uh in keys

latent pier
#

like it's gone

#

there's zero chance it could possibly be that strong again

dawn canyon
#

I just couldnt get into the uh grove

#

Always had an easier time as frost

latent pier
#

I hate how the frost artifact isn't frostmourne

#

like it is

#

but it isn't

#

it is

#

but also no

#

imagine if they broke the ashbringer in half and forced ret pallies to dual wield the ash sticks

#

its not the same

dawn canyon
#

Uh i only feel alive during cds

#

I dropped my DK tbh

#

I got ZERO tier

chrome falcon
#

well the difference is that frostmourne got its shit rocked and reforging it would be extremely Not A Good Idea

latent pier
#

a shame unholy doesn't get any of it's silly pvp toys

latent pier
#

it's less stupid than anything we've done for this horribad expac

dawn canyon
#

I got dk ring last vault but literally dont want to play it anymore

chrome falcon
#

my bdk co-tank has anduin ring, 4pc, and jailer weapon

#

before he got revered with enlightened

latent pier
#

did you tell him to go fuck himself

dawn canyon
#

What if? 2 shitters

#

Not a single good appearance

latent pier
#

give. me. my. big. zombie. sawwwwoooord.

Still not as insulting as what they did to the crown of domination at least

There's a guy with a burger King crown yelling slurs on a plane in some viral Clip

And then they kicked him off the plane

latent pier

oh

he had the crown of wills

dawn canyon
#

Do i consume trash content sadga

latent pier
#

do we even use it

#

once

#

so they just vandalized the most iconic thing in warcraft lore because fuck you?

dawn canyon
#

Itd be hillarious if this entire expac gets retconned

#

It didnt happen

latent pier
#

the best outcome possible

dawn canyon
#

Me too, mate we're doomed

latent pier
#

It's so fucking bad that we need to just start the next expansion puking outside the back of an inn and you ramble off to khadgar, who proceeds to talk to you like you're insane.

#

"who's the jailer, what's a night warrior? Sylvanas died in a car crash yesterday, wym"

#

"mages can't fly boats, idiot"

At least we kicked Sylvanas into the maw to eternally Slave out vebari rep for sockets

do you need more than that or

oblique garnet
latent pier
#

prot btw

oblique garnet
#

Yeah this part hasnt changed for as long as i can remember

#

Prot is just essentially offtopic

latent pier
#

I notice that to be a trend.

#

Affliction in warlock disc is the same way

chrome falcon
#

hey when someone asks a prot warrior question every 2 hours or so

dawn canyon
#

Fury is just bad Drama sadga

latent pier
#

i choose to blame you

chrome falcon
#

we answer it

oblique garnet
latent pier
#

I was complimented on my tanking for a tazavesh 18 and it made me very happy.

dire sparrow
#

is it possible to keep 100% uptime on banner on a target dummy? Keep getting the cd down to like 45 seconds

latent pier
#

with or without tier

dire sparrow
#

with

dawn canyon
#

In execute?

dire sparrow
#

no

oblique garnet
#

Tank dummy ?

dire sparrow
#

nope, just on dps dummy, guessing I need to try on tank

oblique garnet
#

Yup

#

You need little bit of rage gen from damage taken

dire sparrow
#

cool thanks

waxen orbit
#

^

dire sparrow
#

yeah cool, thanks everyone

waxen orbit
#

I mean we've had hours of shitposting in #protection before keks

latent pier
#

speaking of shitposts

#

who else wants glad stance back

#

why not both

#

at this point devastator should just be baseline

#

Playing prot without it feels weird.

#

like without devastator I legit can't play prot

#

it feels really awkward

oblique garnet
#

Devastator baseline and give something to replace devastate

latent pier
#

but I like that

#

...glaaaaadiator?

blazing condor
#

simp spec

latent pier
#

drill sergeant

#

blazing condor
#

battle medic shout

latent pier
#

your external CD is to actually pick up the target ally and toss them to a location of your choosing

#

including off cliffs

#

what do

#

why isnt that baseline

#

in fact, didn't it used to work that way

chrome falcon
#

demo shout working on everyone would require a total rework of every other tank's utility too

#

demo banner was a thing in mop and it was wildly overpowered

latent pier
#

tank utility needs a pass in general anyway imo.

#

it's so lopsided it's kinda funny.

blazing condor
#

banners were fun asf hopium

latent pier
#

intervening banners

#

like a chad

blazing condor
#

i liked being able to use all three depending on situation (even tho there probably was a right one at all time)

#

i didnt know

#

in MoP

latent pier
#

you could drop flags that buffed you and your friends

blazing condor
#

we had 3 abilities that worked as placeable banners

latent pier
#

and you could intervene them for mobility.

blazing condor
#

that did different things

#

one banner gave you crit or damage or something dont remember

#

one was an aoe taunt

#

like ox statue

latent pier
#

skull banner and I forget the other one

blazing condor
#

and one was DR

latent pier
blazing condor
#

yeah i doubt taunt one was actually worth using but i would use it at certain thigns i remember

chrome falcon
#

demo banner was basically devotion aura

#

20% dr on the bosses abilities

blazing condor
#

it was pretty good in dungeons

chrome falcon
#

thought it was 20 but either was

blazing condor
#

cus it was 10% wide-spread

chrome falcon
#

still not balanced at all in raids

blazing condor
#

and its free

latent pier
#

mighta been more for prot

#

idr

chrome falcon
#

i'm 99% sure it was more for prot

latent pier
#

we had a lot more talents

#

before the prune that was made so one handed leper midgets could play wow too

chrome falcon
#

regardless it might not sound that good

#

but now consider 25 man raiding

#

now you have 3-4 warriors that all have this

#

there was way too much utility running around in mop

latent pier
#

so this is your fault

#

at least legion warrior was hype

#

relative to most

blazing condor
#

idk we were pretty good tbh

#

bear was definitely considered more meta and better

chrome falcon
#

the barkskin legendary makes bear basically unkillable when they want to be

oblique garnet
#

So was warror tho

#

All tanks were good but if you had prot pala it allowed you to play any other healer than pala

blazing condor
#

i feel like pala kinda came late into the patch

oblique garnet
#

Not really

chrome falcon
#

they played paladin on wf sylvanas so i dunno about that chief

blazing condor
#

idk just felt like bear was way more looked at for a long time

#

until andy started pushing with his pala

#

that doesnt mean pala was worse tho ofc

#

just that more people cared about bears than palas

oblique garnet
#

They started pushing as soon as they killed sylv

#

Going into 9.1 bear was looking more like the fotm pick

chrome falcon
#

i played bear in 9.0 and even back then it felt immortal

#

even on denathrius which is the hardest a boss has smacked this whole expansion

oblique garnet
#

Yeah bear was fotm in s1 which might seem like an eternity because it was a year ago

blazing condor
#

might be what im thinking of ngl

#

i mix things up

#

yeah vdh was more meta in 9.0

oblique garnet
#

At the beginning yes but once they hit past certain keylevels guardian just did better

dawn canyon
#

Vdh had to kite already

blazing condor
#

cardboard assassin. hopium

dawn canyon
#

When they fixed that bug they had to anyways

distant crystal
#

vdh was good at getting a bunch of threat out quickly for kiting

#

and also bugged double magic dmg redux from tattoos

oblique garnet
#

This is just season 3 start now keksquad

blazing condor
#

maybe we'll be meta by the end

chrome falcon
#

dw in season 4 there'll be a poll where everyone votes on 1 torghast power for their class that they get as a free buff

#

and we're gonna get fan of swords

chrome falcon
#

that would be pretty funny

analog burrow
#

My friend that plays bear on the side keeps trying to tell me bear isn't op

#

I'm just like braaaaa

#

Play a different tank, then come talk to me

blazing condor
#

says the guy whose name literally means "bear" ratge

chrome falcon
#

disregard all Orange Class propaganda

#

remain ignorant

#

sleep soundly

analog burrow
chrome falcon
#

harder than the rest of HC i guess but still a bit of a joke

scenic mural
hard vessel
#

When do we need to press spell reflect on last boss top to be reflect every single cast? I aways have like 1 sek still on the next scythe :(

sturdy sable
#

earlier

#

like 1 sec earlier

hard vessel
#

So before boss casts the scythe?

torpid junco
#

When do we shattering throw haakars shield? I feel like it doesn’t do anything sometimes

chrome falcon
#

if your group is co-ordinated you can throw it JUST as the first tick goes off

#

if you break the entire first tick before the second tick, then the barrier just ends

#

so if everyone saves a juiced global for that moment you can save some time

#

it's not going to do a ton of damage either way though

kind prairie
#

okay yall. give it to me straight. Is prot MT hard or am I just bad?

sturdy sable
#

Both?

#

Why cant the answer be both?

#

Take your time in phase 1 spell reflect twisted reflection or what ever its called in phase 2 keep your charge ready incsse you get knocked off

#

Use orbs to stun the mana adds in phase 2 since those are the most threatening thing for you

chrome falcon
#

what do you mean by "prot MT"

#

OH mage tower

sturdy sable
#

Mage tower

chrome falcon
#

i thought you meant main tank lmao

sturdy sable
#

Since vic rush should be keeping you more then healthy

sand pebble
#

Prot mage tower is more about add management

chrome falcon
#

yeah i dunno just press spell reflect on twisted reflection and you win

#

it's not easy but anyone can do it with practice

#

important thing to remember is if you get knocked off it's nothing to do with "prot" being hard

#

"take your time in phase 1" is bad advice though

kind prairie
#

I get nuked by the 3rd annihilation

chrome falcon
#

play greedy in phase 1 so fewer infernals

#

if you die in p1 no biggie just go again

sturdy sable
#

I mean infernals are literally not an issue

kind prairie
#

kruul 15% best attempt

torpid junco
#

Isn’t fury way easier ?

kind prairie
#

Probably, but I wanna do prot

chrome falcon
#

i really can't remember my rotation for annihilates but i think it was just DS first, SW second, LS+DS third

#

just play around and see what works

sturdy sable
#

I mean shit I felt like i took my time in phase one but i had mage tower v2 done in like 4 attempts

chrome falcon
#

yeah same pretty funny that the muscle memory for 3+ years ago was still there

sturdy sable
#

Well you do it enough times lol

chrome falcon
#

but yeah if you're dying to the third annihilation your only option is to use less stuff on the second

kind prairie
#

and dyding to annigilate

#

dying*

#

annihilate*

#

jesus my spelling

sturdy sable
#

Are you cycling stuns on kruul for more time?

chrome falcon
#

annihilate is a nightmare to type

kind prairie
#

There's a lot going on for me. heh

#

(I will answer my own qurestion I am bad)

#

lol

sturdy sable
#

Yeah thats the whole thing

#

Alot going on

latent pier
#

Am I crazy or does the p1 for prot Mt last a lot longer than it did in legion

#

And I did it during nighthold and not tomb so I'm not talking about overgearing and smashing it

limpid pawn
#

so is necrolord the play now?

#

i see a ton of prot necros

sturdy sable
#

yes

limpid pawn
#

what is the reasoning behind it

#

i know in the pins it says it is equal to kyrian but harder to play

#

but my quesiton is - why now

sinful stone
#

anybody been able to solo jailer's gauntlet?

limpid pawn

like what about 4 piece/double lego makes it playable/good

anything else?

chrome falcon
#

i dunno what's on niya's tree because night fae is cringe so i can't comment on your actual soulbind picks

urban portal
#

armor frag is fine

#

but its just very minor

chrome falcon
#

bruh look at that third soulbind

#

look at that dude

#

who wants that over the chunky owl or a cool skeleton girl

kind prairie
#

So you've got a complex, got it loool

grave jacinth
#

Can you spell reflect Blasphemy on Anduin?

chrome falcon
#

no and even if you could, you definitely shouldn't

grave jacinth
#

Good to know thanks.

chrome falcon
#

if you have an odd number of players when blasphemy goes off then 1 player at random won't be targeted

#

but i'm 99% sure that it if it HAS to choose someone not to target, it picks a tank

#

because i had 5 pulls in a row where i didn't get it

latent pier
#

What stats would you drop on unity helm for playing all four specs?

chrome falcon
#

haste mast

urban portal
#

I would say crit haste ngl

#

Crit>mas on prot and crit>mast on arms

chrome falcon
#

who's telling you crit>mastery on prot

urban portal
#

Everyone

#

Crit is #2 for damage and #3 for survival

#

So does icyveins and wowhead

chrome falcon
#

yeah icy veins definitely doesn't say that

urban portal
#

And most people here would also agree

#

.

chrome falcon
#

sure if you're not planning to raid go crazy

#

it reaaaaally doesn't matter

urban portal
#

Secondaries barely matters

#

But if he's asking I wanna give him the best answer

#

Mastery also gets slightly worse if you are necro/nf, crit gets slightly better if you are kyrian

#

Again very minor

#

But crit inches out just a bit

chrome falcon
#

yeah sounds like mythic raiding isn't a priority if you're crafting around playing every spec anyway so get crit and parry 1 or 2 more melees per key

urban portal
#

Parrying around 3% more autos is kind of good

#

100% Dr on 3% of autos sounds better than 60% Dr on 4.5% of autos give or take

#

Not to mention tank survival in raid is a meme

#

Unless it's like sylv

chrome falcon
#

mmmmmmmmm dunno if i agree with that last part

#

if your guild is giga slow and you're several ilvls over intended by the time you reach a boss then sure

urban portal
#

Any guild that isn't hall of fame will be overgeared for bosses

#

And those guild's aren't playing prot warriors

chrome falcon
#

i dunno doing dausegne at 265 definitely didn't feel overgeared when i accidentally got too many stacks

#

that shit'll kill ya real good

opal pawn
#

I'd say Haste/Vers for an all-spec legendary. Crit/Mastery are bottom-tier for both Fury and Arms respectively. Vers is almost always in the middle of 2nd from bottom.

urban portal

That could work
