I haven't play prot since sod

#

Muscle memory doesn't go away dude

chilly brook

I realized I suck

ebon geyser
#

Ok so how u log a key? Same as raids

dawn canyon
#

Yep

ebon geyser
#

I have done keys on monk buy I have never seen them

dawn canyon
#

Press start log and go

chilly brook
#

Only like 85% blocked hits

mighty valley
#

Being bad rules, means it's easy to improve next time

chilly brook
#

I was consistently 3rd dps all day yesterday tho

mighty valley
#

What's the worst that can happen? Some nerd you'll never see again has an embarrassing freakout?

chilly brook
ebon geyser
#

I actually want to be good and start killing it

mighty valley
#

ez, you just start doing

sturdy sable
#

Dont we all

chilly brook
#

Haven’t had some healer whisper me amazed at how little they have to heal me yet tho

#

Literally healers have died on some of these pulls and I just live the whole thing without heals

#

It’s great

mighty valley
#

oh i only play in guild and our best healer is constantly like "can you take some damage please"

dawn canyon
#

The few stuffs ive healer i loved nothing more than doing dps

#

So id love a pwar

chilly brook
#

15s are such jokes rn

#

As prot

ebon geyser
#

I have someone I wanna strive to be. I know is not realistic but is a start

dawn canyon
#

Erga had no healer

chilly brook
#

I need to start doing some 20s

dawn canyon

Didnt die

5 wari tech too op

You could do 5 necro prot keys

It would be dumb

And actually decent

vernal vale

That sounds fun

dawn canyon
chilly brook
dawn canyon
#

We were 2 necro 2 kyr 1 nf

#

Iirc

#

But 3 fury 1 arm 1 prot

vernal vale
#

I played necro in raid last night because as I've been told "you take too much damage" so I went to the defensive covenant

chilly brook
#

Necro is like

#

The offensive covenant

#

With good defensive value

vernal vale
#

Lots of funeven without any tier

chilly brook
dawn canyon
#

Necro is the xeos covenant

#

Sigma chad playstyle

chilly brook
#

Honestly

dawn canyon
#

Can you make 15s from bfa for tr?

chilly brook
#

Necro is def xeos

ebon geyser
#

You take too much dmg is because ppl only want meta tank. Keep on trucking king

vernal vale
#

I was playing like ass though so that never feels good.

chilly brook
#

I mean

#

Meta tanks take about the same amount of damage

#

In terms of healing required

dawn canyon
#

Funny cuz meta tank pala also takes loads

vernal vale
#

Didn't have good blocked hits all last night.

ebon geyser
#

Be a Griff on this sea of followers keksquad

chilly brook

That’ll do it

chilly brook
#

I’m a fury boi in raid

ebon geyser
chilly brook
#

Me raid tanking=toxic

vernal vale
#

Even then the pally in our raid is starting to drive me nuts.

chilly brook
#

I legit start getting toxic as a raid tank

#

It’s not fun

dawn canyon
#

Dps pwar

chilly brook
#

When you take 3 pulls to get your job down and everyone else takes 40

#

It grates on me

#

Especially when I start not being able to do my job because someone else didn’t do theirs

ebon geyser
vernal vale
chilly brook
#

On mobile atm but I can def do it in a little bit

ebon geyser
#

U want brutal tag @jagged pier

#

Also

vernal vale
#

Appreciated @chilly brook

mighty valley
#

tanks don't have to learn much, plus we are forced to deal with our mechanics every pull, while dps might not even see a mechanic happen to them til several pulls in

#

so yeah, a lot of the time we're just waiting for everyone else to learn

ebon geyser
#

I was being told like why u dying on adds in anduin and I'm like because of the heal reduction

vernal vale
dawn canyon
#

Tanking raid depends a lot on Boss imo

sturdy sable
#

^

dawn canyon
#

I really liked sire

#

Tanking shit like sunking

#

Uhhh

#

Miss me with that

sturdy sable
#

90% of the time they are target dummys with a taunt swap

dawn canyon
#

Eye

#

Dude

sturdy sable
#

Other 10% are coordinated dances that are beautiful

dawn canyon
#

PS bedge

mighty valley
#

fury is one of the simpler specs plus is fully mobile, lot of the time dps is focusing too much on perfect rotation and panics when a mechanic happens

sturdy sable
#

Mythic donny

#

Chefs kiss to tank man

dawn canyon
#

I didnt go for into myth CN but Don looked great

mighty valley
#

yeah i don't enjoy the fights that are like "uhhhhh a million adds. deal with it i guess"

sturdy sable
#

By far my favourite fight this expansion so far (to tank atleast)

dawn canyon
#

Huntsman was fun at start then boring

mighty valley
#

denathrius was so good

#

and the first real tank fight of the expansion

vernal vale
#

Any fight that is trash in a boss costume blows

dawn canyon
#

What's your favourite fights to tank in sofo guys

sturdy sable
#

Lmao i love guardian

#

That execute

mighty valley
#

yeah the final guardian phase makes up for it a little

#

jailer's genuinely fun imo

chrome falcon
#

mythic donny fucking piped the tank

#

so hard

#

that dude HURT

sturdy sable
#

Loved it

mighty valley
#

rygelon's nice as just a real big numbers fight that doesn't take long

sturdy sable
dawn canyon
#

Rygelon tank buster owns

#

Really engaging

chrome falcon
#

i'm just really not looking forward to halondrus

#

that's not gonna be fun to tank for 250 pulls

mighty valley
#

halondrus is a great fight overall imo but not one of the best tank fights

dawn canyon
#

Maybe u get to do potato

#

But otherwise nothing much to do

sturdy sable
chrome falcon
#

oh yeah i didn't consider that tanks might do potato

#

after the nerf

#

i doubt that's correct though

#

i hated tanking sylvanas though

#

different shit every pull

#

RNG veil in p3 while you're clearing zzz

mighty valley
#

progging her was so bad, when people only need practice on p3 but you have to slog through the rest of the shit every pull

strong forum
#

Ive been saying it for 4 years and I'll say it again

#

Fetid best tank fight

chrome falcon
#

fetid was certainly memorable

strong forum
#

Sit in corner for 3min and press your rotation

#

Absolutely bis

#

Get loot

sturdy sable
#

My guild killed fetid with like 8 or 9 melee

#

It was hell

chrome falcon
#

fetid was rough when prot was so unbelievably fucking bad in that patch

strong forum
#

Uuuh....

#

No

#

Fetid was free af as pwar

sturdy sable
#

I tanked it as veng so it was really fucking dicey

chrome falcon
#

bad to play

strong forum
#

Idk

#

I chilled in 8.0

chrome falcon
#

my co-tank was a fucking dog tier brm at the time as well

#

he died so hard one pull that he fell through the floor and DCd

strong forum
#

Mine was a bdk who dropped to 5% everytime he got hit by fetid

#

Which was good enough

chrome falcon
#

i had to call an external every time i hit block downtime

#

not a vibe

strong forum
#

Cuz he'd only get hit every 5 globals

#

What block downtime? Lol

sturdy sable
#

Yeah this was bolster days

#

The golden time

chrome falcon
#

no you just played HR and that was good enough but i'm pretty sure i was being retarded and playing AM because i missed legion

strong forum
#

Huuuhh

#

Sir

#

Youre confusing things

sturdy sable
#

Naw you played AM

strong forum
#

You played AM 12000% of the time

#

You played itf, BV, bolster, am in raid

#

And in m+ you played itf, BV, bolster and AM

chrome falcon
#

Which definitely left you with block downtime for a few seconds every phase

strong forum
#

For like 1 or 2 sec

#

Which was omega phine

chrome falcon
#

Either way that shit hurt real bad

strong forum
#

Idk I chilled all of bfa raids

#

Only scary thing was zul

#

Cuz he was just beyond dumb with his dot

#

Bfa raids legit did 0 dmg on tanks, absolutely nothing

#

Rastakhan was also shit cuz of his dot

#

But it was a 10pull boss so its w/e

chrome falcon
#

Overall it was a free expac for tanking which is probably why fetid was so memorable

#

Azshara was inhuman levels of tilt though fucking awful boss

strong forum
#

My reason to like fetid was cuz it's just 3min of sit there twiddling thumbs doing absolutely nothing and getting free loot

#

Love bosses like tat

#

Just tank and spank patchwerk

chrome falcon
#

Sludgefist too

#

Though I would definitely not want to do that fight as prot I was orange class for that

strong forum
#

sludge was the perfect prot fight?

#

like absolutely peak

#

if not for a 2nd target being slapped you could solo tank him easily

chrome falcon
#

sure but you'd have to play properly

#

oof ouch no thanks rather just press barkskin and tab out for 12 seconds

strong forum
#

barely took more ehrps than a mage

mighty valley
#

why is "prot war takes so much damage" still a meme

blazing condor
#

sludge was best fight this xpac

strong forum
#

cuz people have never seen a good one

#

also bandwagoning

#

its easy to hate on smth if everyone else agrees to hate on it

#

instead of liking it despite people hating on it

blazing condor
#

also most people dont have the knowledge of the actual class

#

no one really plays

#

so if someone says something is bad

#

especially "higher ups"

strong forum
#

thats literally 90+% of people who hate on pwar

blazing condor
#

you believe it

strong forum
#

its bad cuz im being told its bad

mighty valley
#

lol lmao

blazing condor
#

this was my only sludge kill

vernal vale
#

Too many people obsessed with what is MetA

lofty widget
#

would you guys run OWS above 40 haste?

strong forum
#

smh, goodstuffe taking almost twice my ehrps

blazing condor
#

i blame my raid

strong forum
#

you lose 20% of OWS value above 40

lofty widget
#

yh thought as much

strong forum
#

OWS however allows you to drop haste in other places

#

thats 1 way to go about it

blazing condor
#

peep my healing log

strong forum
#

thats less than half of mine

strong forum
#

actually no its a little more than half of mine

#

only 1 scale use?

#

smh you slacking

blazing condor
#

noobstuffe

strong forum
#

that coudlve been a 30k crit for dmg

blazing condor
#

yeah i shouldve used it

#

it was only a 95 parse

strong forum
#

cries in 92

blazing condor
#

the fight was incredibly painful though

#

for my guild

#

we just barely killed it

strong forum
#

eh

blazing condor
#

8 months in

strong forum
#

was fun

blazing condor
#

i loved it

strong forum
#

so it wasnt painful

blazing condor
#

dont get me wrong

#

but like

#

we had 10+ 0% wipes

#

we had no DR

#

no disc priest or whatever

#

and we would always hit enrage

strong forum
#

lol

blazing condor
#

think i might have a kill moment somewhere

strong forum
blazing condor
#

clean asf

strong forum
#

you had a priest

#

that wasnt disc?

#

nani

#

you already had 2 shamans and a druid for hps

#

disc wouldve been so much better

blazing condor
#

trust me

#

i tried

#

on our sludge prog i was probably not fun to be around

#

cus people genuinely didnt care to learn how to maximise the fight and their class

#

on a literally scripted fight

#

you can make a document for your entire rotation p much

chrome falcon
#

on our first sludge kill

blazing condor
#

and people didnt care and we were always 1% off kill

chrome falcon
#

i wasn't even second on the EHRPS

#

our rogue was barely behind my dh

strong forum
#

👍

#

all me

blazing condor
#

i had great synergy with my tank on sludge which really helped my mental

#

we played really well all prog

#

which i mean it isn't really difficult not to break chains

#

but still

strong forum
#

i played walking external for mine

#

intervene + SW = np

blazing condor
#

ez

#

intervening tank is a bit monka tho

#

but with SW its all good

strong forum
#

well yeah

#

thats the whole point

#

i didnt need SW for myself on sludge

#

so i just used it for him cuz DH needs to ramp souls

blazing condor
#

maybe shouldve done that with my dh

#

aint no "we" in this i let him do his own

#

which is also why he dies in the end

strong forum
#

gives me rage and thus dmg

#

theres no we in this

#

just me and my shield

#

and that purple thing jumping around

blazing condor

the what

wats the necrolord soulbind for m+ lads

marileth or heirmir?

marge is more well rounded

for marileth

chrome falcon

your preference at that point but i like the finesse

strong forum

3p3e if youre more solo focused

#

3p2e1f to be nice to your group cuz safeguard

mellow bridge

yea safeguard is what i would take

3 potency feels kinda wasted but ig it's not too bad

Anyone wanna be a god and send me a site for some awesome m+ routes? Havent really bothered checking for some time but its time to blast my warrior

best route is and always will be hold W

I had a question about crit blocking, I see that mastery boosts your critical block chance, but is there a base chance for crit blocking? Or is what you see in your mastery what you get?

chrome falcon
#

I want to say you have a base 10% chance to crit block but lemme check

sweet summit
smoky warren
#

Ohh gotcha, thanks!

chrome falcon
#

12% is the base

strong forum
#

that way you can reverse engineer the 12%

median tulip
#

With banner and humanoid solvent I can hit 70% crit block, easy. Can you actually get to 100% crit block?

vernal vale
#

The mastery requirement would probably get stupid high. At that point.

#

Considering how much banner and humanoid solvent give us already to get where we are.

ebon geyser
#

I was gonna wait to play until I can get the skip to 60 renown but I am sure 9.2.5 is gonna be a month away

#

I don't get why we have ptr, send it live is what we do

hollow hill
#

Does into the fray give you a flat 10% bonus to haste (i.e. 35%->45%) or is it an additional 10% of the value of your haste (i.e. 1100 -> 1210)?

#

Not sure if my tooltip is wrong but i'm going from 35% haste to 49% with into the fray on

median tulip
ebon geyser
#

I mean I can get the skip but I just wanna jump on stuff

median tulip
#

40 to 80 I mean

ebon geyser
#

How

#

I did sod story line

slender relic
#

cov campaign

#

puts you at like 70

ebon geyser
#

Ok how

slender relic
#

you basically start at 49

#

because you do the instant 40 item from the guy by the flgiht path

#

and then all 3 soulbinds give 2 each

ebon geyser
#

Because I did kyrian and I was getting 1 renown per turn in

slender relic
#

then souls and 1k renown quest

median tulip
#

Callings, LFR

ebon geyser
#

And I felt I was getting cucked

ebon geyser
slender relic
#

they added 20 more renown to the baseline campaign rewards

ebon geyser
#

I'm scared

median tulip
slender relic
#

i did 6 chapters of NF and got to 78 yesterday from 40

ebon geyser
median tulip
#

The 3 World Bosses give Renown as well, I think

slender relic
#

LFR vigilant is for sure

ebon geyser
#

Ok u guys convinced me Necro Boi incoming

median tulip
#

And then you can just start on tanking baby M+ keys

ebon geyser
#

I need practice and to shake this fear

median tulip
#

Pretty certain you can tank +2 in 226 greens from ZM vendor

#

Might actually try that as a challenge

jagged pier
#

u can tank higher than that

strong forum
#

i have 31% haste

#

but with 5 ITF im at 44%

#

because your actual haste is 100%

#

so technically rn im at 131% haste, 144% with 5ITF

#

all %haste increases work like that, heroism/lust work like that aswell

median tulip
# ebon geyser I'll try

Honestly you will probably have a bunch of 233s from ZM pretty quickly just from world quests

cunning viper
#

top 21, necro 2p ITF shenanigan

hollow hill
#

Sitting at 49% haste currently with 5 ITF which seems pretty crazy

chrome falcon
#

you can do

#

it hurts but just press the shield wall you were saving for the explosion in the downstairs phase

#

and get an external or something

crimson furnace
#

..quit wow in november, just checked the M+ leader-boards for EU -- 1st prot tank in the list is on 262th place with a MIST 25, timed...what the F happened to us???

mighty valley
#

we got the bottom of the meta this expansion, ultra pushers aren't picking us, it's fine

crimson furnace
#

insane....

#

380 down the list found 2 warr tanks...

strong forum
#

its almost as if pwar isnt popular

crimson furnace
#

😢

mighty valley
#

yeah we're the lowest population tank

#

and weren't even popular when we were busted

crimson furnace
#

spell reflect in shrine of the storms...

#

❤️

mighty valley
#

tbh tank balance has been really good since 9.1, but someone still has to be least favored

crimson furnace
#

is the game play and the pace of the warr still ulta fun and fast?

#

..was looking into stuff since I might try playing it again...

chrome falcon
#

almost never been faster

urban portal
#

ye

#

its probably the fastest

mighty valley
#

necro especially forces you to play v fast to do well

chilly brook
#

It's legion levels of fast

crimson furnace
#

😮

chilly brook
#

only it's also forcing you to chain pull like a mad man

crimson furnace
#

i like chains

#

/wink

chilly brook
#

No hyperbole

#

it's the best iteration of prot I've played

#

from a pure gameplay standpoint

crimson furnace
#

thoughts on the set?? @chilly brook ?

#

2p and 4p

chilly brook
#

some people say it's boring

#

but it's a major reason why we're so busy

#

the influx of rage gen is huge

#

I feel immortal inside banner

#

and since I'm getting so much rage it just feeds back into tier set

#

4p is solid, 10% extra damage and DR is always welcome as well as extra outburst procs

crimson furnace
#

..its sounds fun, ty for the small overview and thoughts

#

i just might get back into it

ebon geyser
median tulip
#

define "max out"

chrome falcon
#

it's not as fast at 7.3 legion but 7.3 legion was exhausting so i think this is a good level of fast

vernal vale
ebon geyser
# median tulip define "max out"

he has all pocopoc thing unlock and getting max gear from the zone and rev rep but i know that blizzard suck and even is 2022 rep is not account bound

median tulip
#

If you've got to rev on any character then all your characters can use Unity regardless; my shaman has a 291 Unity and is only hon

chilly brook
#

But it was also awesome

chrome falcon
#

it was like it is now

#

except you had to hit battle cry berserker rage and demo shout shout on cooldown every 20 seconds off the GCD

chilly brook
#

I still think 7.3 was faster and the IP spam was definitely more intense

thorny solstice
#

Anyone tested how high you can crit with shield slam & 4pc? could've been a fun pvp cheese if they havent nerfed it in pvp

misty coyote
#

Yo, convince me that Indomitable is better than Never Surrender. I'm fully on board with Indomitable, been using it all x-pac but I feel like NS just has good potential. Mayeb in like SoA, HoA where there is high magic dam? IDK

mighty valley
#

You really really really shouldn't be spending enough time at low health that Never Surrender does much of anything

chrome falcon
#

NS doesn't increase the cap on IP

#

and you don't want to be low health

strong forum
#

thats why

#

indom makes your HP go up and increases your HP pool

#

bigger IP isnt worth the loss of actual healing

misty coyote
#

Gotcha

#

Only thing that brought it on was this breakdown of my last key

#

Lots of missed interupts with pug,s 16.4% ios absolutely nothng to scoff at

#

It's insane actually

strong forum
#

indom is the reason why you can stay alive without much healer attention

chrome falcon
#

that's low indom healing

#

i feel like

strong forum
#

if you buffed IP youd actually just die

#

without indom

#

trust

misty coyote
#

Makes sense

#

Oh 100%, again been using it all xpac lol

chrome falcon
#

indom adds a new effect to IP that heals you for 3.5% when you press it

strong forum
#

^

chrome falcon
#

that ALONE is probably better than NS

#

without counting SB and revenge

misty coyote
#

Gotcha gotcha

strong forum
#

easiest thing is to play NS and then youd notice it heavily i bet

#

cuz youre already overcapping IP like a motherfucker with tier before it gets depleted

#

since you spam it so much with 4p

misty coyote
#

Makes sense

strong forum
#

actively making you lose value of NS since it doesnt increase cap, just makes every IP cast bigger

#

THAT BEING SAID

#

they should buff IP

chrome falcon
#

if IP cap wasnt like 10% of our max hp it might be interesting but

strong forum
#

in BFA 1 cast of IP was ~13% HP

#

now its only ~7%

#

without any nerfs

misty coyote
#

Ahh

#

So is tkaing Brutal Vitality a meme then?

strong forum
#

yes

#

Brutal vit doesnt let you increase IP beyond its 2x cap

#

so its empty value

chrome falcon
#

Ignore Pain? More like Ignore All The Text On This Tooltip Apart From "Costs 35 Rage"

vernal vale
#

Hahaha

chrome falcon
strong forum
#

pretty accurate

blazing condor
#

im already ignoring pain

#

its called SB

strong forum
#

THAT BEING SAID, when its being spammed this much

#

it does provide a substantial increase to surv

misty coyote
#

55% DR of Half Damage...so like

#

22.,5% DR?

#

such a weirdly worded spell lmao

#

Just trying to be a better war lol

chrome falcon
#

it will prevent 11.5k damage

#

it will just prevent that damage over the course of 23k damage taken

misty coyote
#

Never looked at the nitty gritty

chrome falcon
#

so if you took a 23k hit you would lose the whole IP and reduce that damage by half

misty coyote
#

Ahh okay

#

TY

chrome falcon
#

if you took 11.5k damage, it would half the damage it 5.75k

#

and then do that again if you took another 11.5k damage

misty coyote
#

So condensed anima sphere is better then

#

Or would Fuled be beter?

#

(assuming taking SG/UF)

chrome falcon
#

condensed is fine

#

your third endurance conduit is basically irrelevant but condensed is nice and passive will do like 10-15% of your healing

#

brutal vit might be better but it's almost impossible to even figure that out

misty coyote
#

Would it be better ot just take a 3rd potency

chrome falcon
#

third potency is also basically irrelevant

#

our conduits suck!

#

if you need to take third potency go AAF

misty coyote
#

I take AAf, and PV

#

SoF better?

#

Or eh**

chrome falcon
#

juggernaut

#

our execute hits harder than arms

#

and we have more rage to spam it with

misty coyote
#

Oh my

shut summit
chrome falcon
#

brutal vit doesn't go after the cap not sure how you'd check that

shut summit
#

yea there'd be some mashing prolly but still decent idea

chrome falcon
#

it's definitely better now than it ever has been, probably good on rygelon and lords with the dots there

shut summit
#

brutal vit woulda been 1.2mil more ip in the 22 theater im looking at, fueled by violence woulda been like 531k heals

#

assuming ip isnt wasted etc

chrome falcon
#

that's

#

a lot of ip

misty coyote
#

To backtrack adn piggyback off that statement-

chrome falcon
#

if it actually pans out in practice

misty coyote
#

Ashen, AD, or SoF

#

PV feels mandatory cause of the rage regen alone almost

#

Insane healing and dam output that it gives you, imo

chrome falcon
#

it would probably depend what you're doing

#

ashen jugg tears up bosses/big fortified mobs

#

but if stuff is dying before you can stack it, sof might do more...? sof sucks though

misty coyote
#

AAF?

chrome falcon
#

prrrrobbbbabbblllyy? better than sof?

#

they're both real minor but

strong forum
#

AAF is better

#

cuz its consistent on all dmg

misty coyote
#

Sounds about right

#

Everything you do is jsut buffed

strong forum
#

with tier you use TC very little

#

so you lose value

#

its cov > aaf > aj/sof for m+

misty coyote
#

Huh?

#

You don't use TC?

chrome falcon
#

no TC sucks

strong forum
#

"very little*

misty coyote
#

That's a meme right? I get that SS does like 30k on crits

strong forum
#

m8

chrome falcon
#

5 rage and like 4 damage

misty coyote
#

But the AoE potential of a 12k on l8+ mobs is insane

chrome falcon
#

no TC is an absolutely dogshit ability

#

no it's not

#

SS = rage = revenge

strong forum

^

blazing condor
#

wouldnt you use tc on cd like normal?

#

with tier

misty coyote
#

Buh?>?

chrome falcon
#

your meter only looks like that because you're playing incorrectly

#

revenge should be way higher

#

but your rage is lower because you're not SSing

#

so you have fewer avatars

misty coyote
#

Ahh

strong forum
#

the extra rage you get from outburst SS

#

is more dmg from revenge

#

than outburst TC would be

misty coyote
#

That makes a lot fo sense

this should be you

strong forum
chrome falcon
#

enjoy revenge

ebon geyser
#

i know the answer is gonna be everything but is there any macros i need or any buttons that are not needed

chrome falcon
#

the only situation you would outburst TC imo is if you're pulling a pack where you cannot drop threat for a second, your dps are popping CDs, and you don't have challenging shout or ravager

#

(or if you fuck up)

blazing condor
chrome falcon
#

hey i pressed hamstring once or twice this expansion on fatescribe

#

hamstring is trying

median tulip
#

Is the 30% chance of Revenge procing a Shield Slam reset per target hit? Because it seems way higher than the listed value

chrome falcon
#

no

#

that would make revenge 100% proc rate on every pull in m+

misty coyote
#

I'm now a Ravager enjoyer huh?

chrome falcon
#

... were you not before?

misty coyote
#

Never have been

chrome falcon
#

yeah ravager is uh

#

... yeah you want ravager that's a good spell

median tulip
#

I mean, ITF is ok...

blazing condor
#

for m+

#

you go ravager

chrome falcon
#

and remember with revenge zetakya you're autoing at the same time which is another 30% proc

#

so if you hit revenge twice you've had 3 or 4 rolls to proc SS already

misty coyote
#

Neat, alright imma go be a ravager enjoyer

#

Will post results shortly

That's what I've been doing, wanted to make sure my life wasn't in danger

BV with tier???

misty coyote

4 set

chrome falcon

BSC is more damage

misty coyote

That's waht I thought

urban portal

Bv more damage in st

#

Even before tier

misty coyote
#

Just figure I'd ask. Been using it forever lol

chrome falcon

it's pretty marginal so if you really wanted you could play BV on tyrannical

misty coyote
#

I'm good

#

Ight, going to key. TY for the help homies

blazing condor

main thing to focus on is never ever outburst TC

revenge needs to be top source of damage

and here i was pushing keys with BV 😦

BV is fine

#

it's a marginal difference

blazing condor

Thats all you need to know

yeah it feels better for maintaining banner

blazing condor
#

Good to get a wa that shows shield block uptime as well

chilly brook
#

@vernal vale logs look generally fine, blocked hits could be better. Your shield slam casts seem like they're on point the amount you had on Desausage is insane

and i didnt notice any big dps loss from bsc anyway

ebon geyser

@vernal vale got about 300 wasted rage on artificer

wasted ~100 on every other boss

blazing condor

I genuinely think i have everything else on my bars, and use it

strong forum
#

out of curiosity

#

how much overall dmg did you do with outbursting TC @misty coyote

vernal vale
#

Confirmed my blocked hits need work still. Actively attempting to improve this by not hitting SB when I am not actively tanking so I always have charges when I get boss.

median tulip
#

That "press shield block" reflex is a bugger, isn't it?

vernal vale
#

Yeah, it's a bad habit. I've gotten my revenge over ignore pain to be better. Though I still have lots of room for improvement.

#

Its why I'm actively spending time here to absorb more information and have people better than I am critique how I'm doing

#

Thanks again for taking the time @chilly brook

chilly brook
#

I'm nothing special

#

I just press buttons

dark lark

When soaking Rygelon cores, it's listed as physical damage but I'm assuming it's not blockable, right? Do I just hold Shield Wall for those? Would Demo Shouting boss work?

Very bad key as well

which would also get the number up

i dunno that's higher than i expected

maybe i'll try just always TCing on 5 targets in an 18 or something and see what happens

10k with 4pc

I usually get aroudn 12k Overall

even if used on the wrong ability

again, bad key

Used shield slam as well on ST or prio targets

you use SS on cooldown

Trying to implement the tips you guys gave me is crazy hard

using outburst on TC in aoe isnt bad persé, when i changed APL to prio TC outburst in aoe the dmg didnt change at all

ya but you still miss out on 2 additional revenge casts

chrome falcon

and 3 seconds on your next avatar

those 2 revenge will make it so you break even with the TC cast but you spent more rage for more outburst stacks and AM

get 3 globals for the price of 1

It's probably just that we would make that entire mechanic trivial if we could block it

my BDK seemingly parried both in the last phase and it didn't pulse any aoe damage on the raid

legion m+ meta was literally pull 200 mobs and cc lock aoe them down which meant the only viable tank for really pushing/rushing keys was bdk because mass grip was fuckin stupid

And high keys

But I never got into the whole meta thing

That always eluded me

chrome falcon
#

p3 starts when there are 3 pillars in any position

#

so breaking whatever is closest/joint closest to the middle is what you need to do

#

can't stop it forever, you get 2 shatters every time he makes 3 new pillars (i think?), but you can delay it a good long while

uncut notch
#

made a weakaura that pings when at 75% rage

#

holy fuck

#

the difference this has made

#

as well as just slowing down spear and ravager, not just bombing one on the other

#

waiting 1-2gcd makes all the difference

#

Lots more IP's. Ive doubled my total hps

chrome falcon
#

out of curiosity can you post your UI

#

also you should be fine slamming spear and ravager as long as you're mashing IP at the same time

#

because you definitely don't want to intentionally delay power spells like spears and ravager

where's your health/rage relative to the middle of the screen

I gotta be honest; my health bar is not actually particularly useful information for my decision making in a fight

dark lark
#

For Heroic Rygelon, does demo shouting boss work on reducing the gravitational soak damage or is it considered environmental? Otherwise I could probably shield wall/fleshcraft with IP right

#

I'm assuming that because it's physical, spell reflect doesn't work and shield block doesn't work

urban portal
#

You should def flesh and ip

Might as well Sr but check the guide

Shield block shouldn't work

Demo shout probably works

It’s physical so please don’t SR

Just shield wall every time

It’s up every time and it’s all you need

Ok, just checking what I have in my toolkit for it

It’s the core itself casting though not the boss

Evening guys, have a quick question: Why aren't daggers more popular as a weapon option for prot? Doesn't that synergize with proccing more shield slams, or did Blizzard somehow normalize the PPM for weapon speed?

misty coyote
#

Daggers don't have str

scenic mural
#

they are literally not on our loot table

misty coyote
#

^ Also this

neat harbor
#

Those are both good answers.

Since when, out of curiosity?

could we still loot daggers in Bfa?

misty coyote
#

No, I don't think. That's a google question sorry my friend

#

Anyone decent with WA's wanna help me set up a glow macro in Afrenar's ui for Raveger?

since personal loot existed p sure

misty coyote
#

I can add a glow to almost every button but this one specifically is blehg

neat harbor
#

Sorry, I'm still on about the dagger thing.. so you can't loot them, but I assume they can still be traded to you?

distant crystal
#

yep

#

i think warriors can equip anything except warglaives?

neat harbor
#

so like a 1.80 dagger with shield slam proc rate, anyone tested that?

oblique garnet
#

Not worth the str loss

distant crystal
#

i think most procs are normalized

#

for speed

upper spoke
#

Just completed "A new deal," the quest that wants you to collect 150 protplasmic plasma. Are any of these trinkets any good?

it'd probably sim correctly

Isnt it smth like 5% mainstat loss cuz you're not using gear you're supposed to

i thought that was only armor

i think ppl were using diver's folly's with some success on str classes

but that's a slow axe

yeah thats only armor pieces for the 5%

Did the # of slams go up in that sim waat?

Revenge

And execute

Will all be lower hits

that might not really be a thing for specs that use a fixed weapon speed typically

execute lower? interesting

i don't think there's any variation in weapon speed anymore

among same-class of weaps

DAGGER VS AXE IS

distant crystal

like i think all daggers are 1.8 all str 1h's are 2.6

strong forum
#

That's the point being argued

distant crystal
#

all 2h are 3.8

#

yeah that's why they ditched the normalizin'

#

just agreeing :p

#

might still have some wdps based stuff for like

#

frost dk and ww/brm monks

#

since they can use diff speed weaps

strong forum
#

I'd guess it's cuz they get to use 2 that it uses a coefficient for weapon dmg

distant crystal
#

but also

#

you can't press revenj with a dagger equipped

oblique garnet
distant crystal
#

feast your eyes on my OWS keksquad

oblique garnet
#

So it should be even more of an dps loss

surprised it's only revenge tho
