Yes
Given even ilvls, I would prefer a shield with secondaries for any purpose other than raiding
Does weapon dps do anything for prot damage? Or is all about the š”?
We scale off weapon damage just as much as anyone
And our damage doesnāt scale off our shield
So itās safe for each tank to tsunt between the hits right?
Thx
This isn't classic; all abilities scale based on attack power now, not based on weapon damage
And make sure you split since theyāre frontals
Right
ššæ
Any tips on Artificer? The back to back rings make hurt my brain
Do more DPS
So skip that phase š
He's a terminal burn phase boss; have CDs and lust when he hits final phase, GG loot pinata
The first 2/3rds of the fight is trivial; or it should be
There's nothing super tank specific, only thing is on tank bomb to angle yourself in a way that minimizes the number of players getting caught by traps in mid air
Is that the ability that pulls the Raid onto me.
Yes
Should be able to find plenty of videos of people doing it on all difficulties not sure if youāre talking about normal or HC
it's ok to pull people across the rings with the tank succ
and sometimes the right play
just don't accidentally suck everyone away from the portals right when they need to go through
is heroic sepulchurs savior a bad sheild? seems pretty MEH
Or pull them all through a trap
slightly better defensively and slightly worse offensively than other same ilvl shields
block value nice for keys
Man, I feel like I'm making so many mistakes with 4p now gotta spend some time in dungeons and on dummies
changing where keybinds are to make it easier to hit ignore pain is hurting me too
We're gonna have a long time with this set bonus to get used to it
I just got it last night
Yeah I just got it at the reset
Felt like I was fucking up a lot in my first couple dungeons, but still was v powerful
I'm probably trying to hard on managing the bonus instead of just playing tonight
trying to get SS only for outburst procs and the like
I mean, don't accidentally blow the key or anything, but you're better off focusing on the one thing you want to improve at
Yeah, ive been trying to quash my rage waste
Definitely feels fun with shitloads of mistakes
yeah, focused on just playing and pantheon instantly felt better to me
I know i was still not playing the best because that was rough on the first go at it
About to start 4P2L H Ryg prog, it seems like it's easy comfy damage
Any commentary?
N Ryg is full on noodle arms
intermission only difference and just wall and its baby
fun fight tbh very easy to get charges constantly
why are we running necro, for dps, surv, or both?
i seem to do more dps as Kyrian
you will burst more as kyrian
long term necro does more
kyrian has better aoe
but really only during spear
necro is better boss damage
Unrelated note, cute avatar. Gj
Does ignorepain help get rid of the healing shield on Anduin?
sigil is pretty good isnt it?
very pog for execute phase
Why is everyone so hyped about blood dks all of the sudden?
Was gonna dust mine off and now kinda don't want to since everyone is lol
Im leveling one atm lmao
bcause its invincible in raid
takes no melee damage cuz infinite parry
does infinite damage cuz infinite heart strikes
75% strength if you play properly
Do tanks actually do stuff in H Ryg?
How's the strike mechanic? Still able to passively tank it more or less?
not rly
just need to dump a couple IP and have shield block up
its not easy but not hard
Idk that sounds passive tbh
yeah you need your big defensives on the soak
Well I just stomped through Jailers Gauntlet layer 1 and 2, easy day
Layer 5 suddenly spikes to insane levels compared to the 4 before that.
The jailer is dead now shouldnt his gauntlet be really easy
If i was a boss in there id just go home
Whos gonna payroll me
i'd pay you

ay
ez for ya boy
Going to play my warrior which was my first character in vanilla right before bc and all through bc. How is protection spec?
It's the fastest spec in the game once you have 4pc tier
But has a higher skill floor than other classes to perform well
And an equally high skill ceiling
Nice thatās exactly what I am looking for was playing paladin prof got boring so did holy
palading prot is fun too!
Yeah just the skill floor is low I didnāt play it much but it was kinda easy to keep up your defensive
Maybe I am just a warrior at heart haha
a true tundahclapper!
You know it
Saw you were ralking about thought i havent hopeing in since trying layer 7 one week one, its wasnt too bad actually
I have yet to try gauntlet i did like 2 layers week one
ez for ya boy i meant easy for you ofc 
i never had a doubt
Do you get anything for this one? Quite enjoyed spending a few hours doing 1-4 when they released
I enjoyed 1-4 but found that the power RNG got extremely annoying and it was often easier to just reset the instance than take a rough power/room 1 combo
no
i didnt reroll powers until layer 6 on week eone
didnt reroll on 7
and tried with ever set of powers on layer 8
Surely you now have gotten cool and unique cosmetic rewards for besting such a hard and demanding challenge?

Surely the title atleast has a cool name?
what is the title
Is it Tower Ranger or something?
I finally have 2 tier pieces
So weekend will test necro power through m+
Some dummy train would help to maintain banner as much as possible? Or no point for it
I think i press buttons fast but still not enough
I should have learned piano
But i have fat fingers
just go straight to dungeons
you can but i wouldnt recommend it cus dummy training doesn't give you the rage gain from multiple mobs hitting you in m+
as well as intervene and charge weaving being harder
idk i tested dummies at first and it was way harder than actually doing m+
or maybe we dont actually gain rage from taking damage anymore idrk
either way shit was easier in m+ than on dummy
We stil do but its minimal
oic
like from the logs i remember seeing it was 200 in a key
So with booming voice we should use it on CD and early in the pull for more dps? I have a real aggro struggle against frost dk since I switched to BV
you use BV on cd for the rage, 20 % dmg on revenge shouldnt lose you very much aggro on pull
What trinkets are everyone running, right now im running the heroic Sylv trinket and a 246 scale, I just got a heroic first sigil but I think Iām sticking with the scale in m+ and swapping it for the sigil in most boss fights
aegis + ows
Top of the morning Top of the morning Top of the morning TOP of the morning
How does our rotation change with 4 piece
Runnin 236 phial and 278 codex
I don't have problems on pull I have problem when 4 set frost dks press their 1 hit aoe 3 min aoe button
challenging shout 
Revenge
4 min CD while his is 3 min
if it's not on pull then you should have enough threat to not lose aggro
Hmm it's also only in bigger pulls with 10+ mobs, k maybe I just need to try harder
278 Phial 265 First Sigil
To be honest, you don't need Scale unless you're doing higher keys (20 and up) or you have no faith in your healer.
Square root damage means you're damaging every mob past a breakpoint less than the first 5 or 8. More mobs means less damage each mob, but more damage overall. Less damage individually means less threat individually.
You're pushing TC less and less.
Also you're gonna want to make sure you aren't geeding and wasting Outburst by pressing Ava with one already active.
But if you chain them back to back, you'll have a third not far behind.
with legion time walking out is there any trinkets or anything i should try to farm out?
fcm is a decent damage trinket for raifd
Whetstone is decent cleave
a decent defensive one?
nah
Not that I can recall.
as of now im using to on use dmg trinkets cause its all i have kek
Gross
iqd and earthbreaker
Extra ew
they dont do bad dmg
I'm gonna guess sub 300
its about 4 % overall
But what's the absolute
200 DPS?
its def not worth
Yeah that's not very much. My 233 sack does 460 on a good fight
Hence
its sadly all i got though
I mean, yeah. I'd try for Phial or FCM.
For m+ is it still kyrian or do we switch to maldraxus?
i hope nf isnt memein. i really like nf for the slow influx of rage vs the rage from spear
nf/kyr just different shades of blue
nf feels like playing a beginner piano song where kyr feels like motzart during your opener lmao
i agree kyrian feels like way too much rage, especially with LS Up
how tf you tank lords with reprisal
it's hard
charge your co tanks boss
DPS pretty similar between NFae and Necro in M+? Iāve been enjoying NF a ton in the 18-20 range. Havenāt done Necro yet.
i normally IV a melee after i get malganis debuff but
intervene melee after the frontal cast
In m+ does everyone always kill the urh relic first?
depends, but usually yes
90%+ of the time, yeah
In pugs I only really get Wo in streets and HoA
The DoS one is apparently hard so I never do that one with pugs.
I take Wo in SoA to get to third boss too. Urh isnāt very useful on that trash lieutenant
Vy almost never
Any good tank trinkets or something to look out for in the legion dungeons?
nothing defensive, faulty countermeasure is good for pure ST, think whetstone is decent cleave as well
Here
- Press your movement keys in a way that moves you away from the boss
- Press charge
Like others said, just charge the other boss between claw mechanics, it's easy
When learning m+ with seasonal affix how do I know which affix everyone wants ? How do you manage that in a pug
Boss timers aren't just for your raid lead to use and scream at you
You tell them Urh and they do it 
just default to killing Uhr, unless you need Wo to do a skip, but you should know when that is
and if someone wants vy they can kill it themselves, it's not that big of a deal for us tbh
wo is more triggering
Vy in a trash pack just before boss so you get haste and can immediately kill urh with boss to have two different buffs.
wo gives you nothing tho, vy at least gives our best stat
Like
Well, we got Wo. Figure since we laced up our clownshoes a while back this officially makes it a circus.
just send 1 or 2 outburst SS into uhr and it should die first every time
You should let the DPS deal with urh tho
because if they are monkeys they might rip aaggro off the main target if youre pumping into Urh
so we shouldnt help out
no but its our fault if the melee gets slapped by boss becuase we didnt taunt
Give them the initial outburst SS then hard focus boss
make a macro "/tar urh"; works for both targeting the initial relic and the destructor
that doesnt really happen tho, we dont generate aggro with SS, thats what revenge is for
i was just memein
The relics do practically 0 damage before triggered anyways
I will run in shield slam and then rotate to actual trash
It's helpful to have the urh one die by us tho; makes it easier to pick the destructor up
Mark target 8 on urh to skull it
/target Urh Relic
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 8);
that will target it and mark with skull
@blazing condor @silk edge thanks i will try as u said
Is there a point where one transitions from kyrian into necro? Where mobs live longer or no major restriction?
Double legendary should be fine. It just gets better with tier
It only gets fun when you have 4p
Is there any important legion trinkets for tanking?
random question: Which quest unlocks lego drops?
Been farming gear for a friend and I guess he might now have done it yet.
The runecarver one in torghast
I rushed level 60 on my DK just to get the tri ket from jailer from my TW cache
wowhead ones are fine minus the revenge/TClap condy, use ass juggs instead
You can always look on top pwarr rios
But i run marileth 3p2e1f
When is this getting pinnedš
it's in the guides which can be found in #268491842637660160
Mah intervene wa is borked since latest patch. Anyone else had this?
Sigh, 4p made me play like ass last night. Looking at how many shield blocks I missed because I was too focused on outburst, seeing red from set. It's so sad.
Yeah playing around 4pc is wild I enjoy it though
I had very little issue with block uptime until throwing outburst into the mix lol..
nothing changed that would directly affect this
check load options and triggers in the wa
it timed monkaW
Huge
big 25 nice one brother
good shit, king
Grats
\o/
I'm back kiddos
Grats, but remember that card upgrades aren't linear. I haven't bothered getting rid of my 1080 because the improvement is fractional compared to the cost.
And in some categories worse.
Wow runs on a potato
Wow runs on a potato but even with a NASA PC you won't get good frames in raids
About prot warr x)
Unless you run 0 addons
was hoping for some confirmations i wasnt making a "bad" upgrade
I upgraded from a 1080 to a 3080ti last year
Is many good
awesome
But I can still only get like 50-70fps in raid during heavy load
It do be like that
Yesterday afternoon someone was saying I'm ZM chat if u playing warrior prot you should ky
I didn't know if it was address to me or one of the servers that is shared or to someone else
It's people blatantly jumping on a bandwagon of blind hate
Nothing new
Talking about shit they have no clue about
I mean for they to say what that say I was like wow
highest ive done is a 17 with 2p but it feels sosososo good
idk how people play different tanks other than prot and bdk. such fun specs
They don't bother to try
pally puts me to sleep
Every person who has played pwar this patch so far praises it
Funny u say this because I legit fell asleep while tanking a m+ on my bear
Idk anybody who has tier and doesn't suck at it who doesn't enjoy it
cant wait for 4p
I want 4 piece
Wait what the fuck is this? I thought prot was trash
I only have legs and chest
Need gloves and anything else
my prot is an alt and i dont have time for 2 raids a week
so i just have vault/cata
But lfr is big yikes
:)
Prot trash no, but u trash yes.
Would have been my answer lol


I didnāt get to spam execute as much as I would have liked
That dot fucks
Also ended up dropping banner at one point which didnāt help
Honestly 100% banner uptime is so easily obtainable in raid unless you have to run out or something
banner uptime is easy cus it feels like you dont have to actively think about it
at least not fully
Nop banner is set it and forget it
you just generate a shit ton of rage and then press shit
You can already get 100% uptime with 2p if you are always fighting
The same healer died from Purifying burst in Gambit, and complained about aggro 
aggro these nuts

50.8k
Got em
yeah i got my nuts
sure hope you do
i got them stored in a safe place no one will ever look
good one
yeah a good place
Mouth breathers that get their info from streamers through simpy parasocial relationships.
X said it was bad so it must be
I'm playing super bad. Only at like 50% -70% banner with 4piece. I'm trying to hard I think.
Prolly
It was pretty effortless to attain like 88% uptime or w/e
Just push buttons
Focusing too much on my seeing red/outburst and then just flubbing everything
That's why I made an aura that pings me when I'm at 7
I can share it when I'm back and you can decide if you like it
I'm still in Maui but this is my last day
Humble brag
Nom I'm actually hundreds of miles from my computer you noid
Man is living his best life
Iāll be hundreds of miles away from my computer next week
What for?

Family 
Oh, bro. That's rancid. I'm here with my mom because I wanted to take her on a trip and she's very easy company
If it was my whole family I'd put both barrels of my favorite shotgun in my mouth
Lol
Is pretty chill, but could've gone 2/3 days later
I would appreciate that share
It's legit just us chillin in the newly built house, but it doesn't have Internet yet
Real
It's fine, half of the day im laying in bed watching memes :haha:
There are worse ways to live
I'm still whacked that they got wild chickens just cruising around
i can tell you guys i had plans to go away for a week rn but they got canceled and now im stuck home doing nothing
not too good either 
So, i should just focus on play and less on set bonus. That will Naturally improve my banner and the like?
Hereās to hoping internet will be up and running by the time I move to the new place in Texas
Yea basically
Consume shield slam as soon as itās up
Keep spending rage so you donāt overcap
Boom
The set doesn't really add a ton of gameplay it shouldn't take much focus
The only time you need to actively think about it is when you're going to avatar so you don't double consume stacks

I definitely didnāt do that like 3x on rygelon
man i double-outbursted AND consumed that outburst with a TC last night on our lihuvim kill
i genuinely wanted to cry
Same
Sometimes that rage flow is disgusting
Outburst and at 7 stacks of seeing red
And then your avatar is coming up

Okay, as I'm running dungeons this weekend I'll focus lest on the bonus and more on play.
Or youāre at like 4 stacks and pop 3 abilities and it instantly converts to outburst
Kinda nutty
well i just don't know what you mean by "focusing on the bonus"
you don't need to just stare at your seeing red stacks all the time
I'm watching outburst seeing red too much
Trying to pay closer attention to it than what I should be.
you literally only need to know what those stacks are at when they're at 6+
as soon as one thing went wrong it was just full meltdown
Yeah fucking up your banner and rotation makes a huge DPS diff
yep
Visible backsliding in real time
rank 4 prot warrior gameplay not even top 3
So yeah failing on the rest of my play to watch seeing red definitely is not what I should be doing.
fully washed 
Yeah that's over micro
Any warriors interested in all warrior 15s today 3pm pacific for NA horde?
NA 

I'll join and take all the scrap loot 
I blame blizzard for giving us cross faction before cross region š¦

cross region would be nutty
servers would explode
potato > baked potato
can't even handle a reset day on tarren mill
If I wasnāt still going to be at work I would be
let's start a movement for cross region!
š¦ Pika doesn't get off work until 4 so I need a tank for tonight lol ugh
The big question, what's your favourite shield Model?
@sweet summit they merged my dead server into mf tarren mill sadge
tell pika to just lend his account to me
griff why did you just ping me in the fury channel
cheap ah 
never ping me in a fucking dps channel what's wrong with you
ya they merged dentarg with tarren meanwhile turalyon/doomhammer is still dead as fuck???
That is an easy answer, wod challenge mode shield š
aren't those "beginner" servers anyway?
or new player
wtf
feels weird to merge them with the normie ones
i got scammed
Great choice
ur right where u belong xPPP
stuck on new player realm
if i can tank i can do 4pm haha. i literally have never warrior dpsed before
just press whirlwind ever 3 ability or so
I have double binding on my pala on Doomhammer and cant afford the Mats for my tfury
Legit gonna get a new Set of binding and do it on Main 
when i got tfury in cata i would farm the mats and craft the bars myself every day
like a daily thing lol
do a bunch of dailies for money
mine a bit
Idk I truthfully thought it was prot for some reason

there's boomkin in my guild controlling the entire ah market and we hate him for it (this is almost true)
ehrps?
effective healing required
The healing needed from outside sources basically
external healing required per second
why did i say effective 
Damn thatās pretty damn good if Iām reading that right ?
it's not a perfect metric, but yea
anduin auto attacks r free real estate
Talking about ehrps
Even when I point at logs guild still says paladin is better.
.<
Guild also wants you Kyr
You're talking to people who can't figure out how numbers work
True enough
Showing more numbers hoping it'll change them almost makes you the dumb one in that scenario
Almost
I was talking to another guild on our server. Possibly switching but it means I'll fury in raid.
Have to trial for a couple weeks too where they won't let me have gear which I always hate c
Limits you to personal drops and vault; but it is a better guild so there is that.
Can't blame them not wanting to funnel on an unsure bet
I'm gonna struggle to find a tank spot switching guilds.
Yeah, I definitely understand but it's still an annoyance to me to not be allowed to roll.
Odds are in a full group I lose the roll anyways.
if they give out their loot via roll then it's weird to even care about where the loot goes in the first place
the point of loot rules is to give that loot to your best players to benefit the group the most
They want their loot to stay in the group
People who they want and are showing up and performing
Not being particular about who it goes to is a means to keep a trial from pumping and dumping
Yeah, as long as they don't expect me to give up my drops I guess I don't really care. It's an old irritation from master looter/loot council where people would ninja shit.
Hell if I can get my foot in the door somewhere and have more fun there's always our weird season 4 to return to tanking raid.
So our paladin fell over a lot on livium last night. Are we just slow on the taunt?
That also being said I survived combo on my own after he died with shield wall and external.
looks like you didn't taunt in time but that mechanic is a joke and should just be handled by popping big CDs and solo tanking
it's easier and safer that way
switching during it requires precise taunt timing and the circle moves during the combo
soloing it just requires you to press a cooldown, on mythic i survived every one with just shield wall
Okay, I was wondering. Thanks
It says to taunt for it on some guide since that's what kept being said by GM and pally.
Which bosses can be solotanked?
objectively speaking if you taunt during you take less overall damage
but it's easy to fuck up the timing
so why not just reduce the chance of dying to 0%
god we have shield wall all the time now, Iām def not pressing it enough
^
macro it to avatar to get more uses
the lazy solution for bads⦠I love it
Lol
yo i got that 84% shield block uptime
when i macroed block to slam
its kinda op
i was doing it to meme a key
I mean early on I macroed heroic strike into shield slam for gladiator stance.
It worked well enough for me to figure out the rest of the spec.
That being said shield block is a lot different
What? Just taunt when you see circle
Ez
How is that precise
Apparently that's not clear enough for my group since pally fell over 3 times. So I wasn't taunting quick enough. Gonna look at timeline after work and double check.
If you see the circle you taunt, that's the whole swap you got like 30 seconds of wind up on DBM to know it's coming
sure both ways are equally easy
i just think that soloing it reduces the risk of braindead melee
and you're literally never pressing shield wall if you're not pressing it there
Any prot warriors interested in all warrior 15s for charity? Starts at 3pm pacific
bringing a prot warrior to a key is already charity 
the jokes make it easier when i get declined 
ill do it if we are double doing/triple prot warriors
But there are only like three people playing prot warriors right now, don't think I can get all 3 of them together
Yea

obviously there would be a healer? or is it ALL warriors
all warrior means all warrior brother
Yea most of your prot warriors are eu 
No we did 5 prot warriors last season
Eegas already done 5 warrior this season as well not all prot but def all warrior
Feeling super intimidated venturing into m+, Iāve done it before a lot in past expansions but Iām just not familiar with the routes and really donāt wanna deal with the toxic kids
i can help, not main prot but have decent gear and io
na too, seems funny 5 prot
i felt this way too. i never did m+ or tanked then just jumped in now im 2700io, just gotta go for it
what stat u guys going into for prot warr in m+ ?
haste
hell yeah brother
Stop caring
Just do it
Exactly, i used to be nervous about pugs being upset with routes and all that and now i realized that even up to like 19s dps are just there to zug, they have no idea about routes, they just follow you
People place too much stock in experience or current season etc.
Just hold w
Donāt die
^
Boom you timed the key
Enhance homie asked me before I just said fuck it Iām tanking if I had tanked 20s this season
He picked up another tank cuz it was no
Then I said fuck it Iām tanking when they wanted to do my key
He suddenly got annoyed when I said Iām going to bed afterwards

TLDR, donāt die. Get comfy.
Then do big pulls and funnel your dps the highest damage overall theyāve done

Just pull one pack after the other very little need to get fancy most of the time.
HoA is a tight timer if you dont use wo skip
That's the one I always have a hard time timing.
What's your route?
With wo or invisibility potion the timer becomes very lenient.
as long as one person who can rez had an invis pot or stealth lol
done plenty of death runs there too loll
The number of failed runs I've had because people fail invisibility is way too high
how do you fail
What key level are you in?
People are stupid. I've only done a 16 in there as my highest. Least favorite this expansion.
In that range I would say, kill the encrypted pack with the tiny gargoyles last and shield slam the heck out of wo after telling them to focus so and marking it with a skull
pretty standard, big pull onto shard on left
go back to the right to do other halkias
kill some stuff around 1st boss
kill last shard
kill stuff in mid
do boss
come back kill wo that was with the small gargoyles by last shard
go zoom to 2nd boss
I'm a blood dk apparently
So for some tank basics like what's going on in dungeons and how it affects pulls (routing, what gives good percentage), is there a solid YouTube/twitch source? Basically I'm wanting to learn by watching so I have a decent grasp of what's going on in m+. I haven't touched the system all expansion and wanting to start
dorki makes videos sometimes
plka
Yeah, I wanted to pull more but they kept using stuns in sanguine
He does. Dorki is good content. What about yumtv (waffle cat YouTube creator)?
2set atm
pull big
on sanguine
I guess it's a trust issue
I didn't trust them to not keep stunning in the red
This was sanguine
270 equipped
and I was doing 11k with 2 set
worst trinkets
trinkets are minimal
10-11k is easily doable with 264 and 2 set
I'm doing 3k with 235 equipped and only Unity :O!
āļø
ngl I like running seismic
based
that is acceptable
but then again I haven't tanked anything higher than like an 18 on this guy
you better not only be doing 8.6k while running seismic
erga dabble u said repri more dam
I'm sure reprisal becomes necessary past like 21

This
Working on it. I did grinding this morning to get 5k Cosmic and learned thst I have to be Honored to buy the bag for leggo parts. So either I grind a couple days for rep or spend time in Torghast
if you're under 10k while running seismic......
you really aren't pressing your buttons
Hi
Late was doing like 14k last season with seismic
Spiteful
Why would you ever use WW?
cough
seismic works on revenge

even without it he was doing over 10k tho
Griff you meant to reply to other

200 word essay due next week 
I'm sure I'm probably IP more than I need to cause I'm still getting used to outburst procs
I need to work on that as well cause Iām not revenging enough for sure
if wclogs app will ever open I'll compare mine, thanks
Cause overall weights look about the same
oh, wait, I think I see what's going on
It's probably not CPM at all
CPM is skewed in logs
since it counts the whole dungeon and not just combat time
bolster big bad
Yeah, fair. It's just fun to drown in rage every 2m
But it's high time I switched back to AM
avatar is literally such a short CD with AM
Running bolster is a crime
Yeah yeah, I just don't trust pug healers
Gotta smooth all that damage out or they say warriors are bad
Shouldnāt cripple yourself by running bolster then
51 seconds or less on Avatar
nor should he run seismic in that case
lol
It's just... ugh, is reprisal actually better in dps?
does nothing to help when your concern is that you don't trust healers
Not on baby easy keys
in aoe that is
no
But when stuff actually starts hitting you
Reprisal means you can actually tank it
but it's 100% better overall
And hit it
do you only drop heavy recup if you have at least 2pc?
Yeah it's excessive
No
like sure it's "silly" if you never charge weaved in the first place (which btw you should be doing even without it)
HR is also bad
The best time to stop playing HR was 9.1
The second best time is now
ah ok, wowhead says AM with tier
Then wowhead are stupid
even then it was kinda 
what about best served cold vs booming voice prior to tier?
BSC generally still the pick in keys but they seem v close
I guess my confusion with Reprisal Griff is that when I check parses our dps goes way down in higher keys
M+ parses are kinda omegalul
Yeah but also go play a 21 with seismic and try not to shit your pants
Ah, gotcha
like sure
reprisal is really not as weird to play as it maybe reads
I could run seismic and pad as much as I like
but also
I'm doing 12k in keys
while also being functionally immortal
Playing reprisal is easy if youāre already charge weaving which you should be ALREADY doing
if you've got any melee intervene is just suddenly a "get SB and rage and free revenge" button with no other implications
Like playing necro and seismic is inting
reprisal is such a huge rage generation legendary
Yeah, as someone who's only done this game in this expansion the whole jump away and charge back in as a tank feels weird
So donāt jump away
Except for kiting, of course
You donāt have to
You just said I did
you start noticing a ton of gaps where enemies stand still to cast etc
charge
Run 2 feet away from the mob thatās casting wicked bolt
^
Wowhead also says seismic is bad I think
Seismic is bad
bosses also have tons of rooting in place and casting things
look for them and exploit them
Every boss can be pretty easily charged on
Bosses in m+ not so worried about, it's cleave trash I'm concerned about
what cleave
Trash that cleaves is not exactly a common problem
are there even any cleave mobs?
The big boys in NW cleave I think the skull fear boys
well, outside of legion tw where it feels like they threw a frontal on just about everything
Itās like, thrust in the 2 venthyr dungeons, one guy in NW, one guy in mists?
And most of those stand still while they cast their cleave
Guess it's just a practice thing then
Yep
100% is
So... shockwave then strafe away?
I donāt even do that
I used to be an anti-reprisal Andy when they reworked it in 9.0.5
or just walk out
Most packs will have a caster
Worst case you just donāt proc it for one or two packs
And intervene your melee instead
I mean, it does feel kinda wrong using intervene not to actually protect someone Griff
But then again it's a barely used ability
wellll
Itās so rare you can actually save anyone with it
How often do you get to do that?
outside of cutting the distance
it's situational
Like practically never
first boss necrotic it's actually a life saver
I can count on two hands the amount of times I've used intervene to help someone
and it's mostly been as arms

yeah prior to reprisal it was almost entirely just repositioning, something was usually going v wrong if someone else was getting meleed
Guess I'll have to get a token for a new lego then
I only used intervene in nathria on SLG when the big gargoyles pinned someone. Aside from that itās to move back or just get a SB and revenge proc
Okay, now is there a trick to do the orbs on third boss spires or just tell people to soak for you
I'm assuming it's the latter
Nope just soak them
chain defensives/call for externals
You can have someone with an immune do it on higher levels
didn't we already have this conversation
Soak and pop shield wall after
Not during the soaking process but after
I pop small personals during the soaks
And when I have every stack I SW
And fleshcraft
If strictly needed
And you have a healer for a reason, nothing else is happening there so
but the dmg amp and my healer dmg! 
if you have a holy paladin they can just immune that shit and you can stay on boss dmg
Alright I'll try it again when I have the key. Been avoiding that dungeon on tyran cause I've died 100% of the time with all defensives used
Youāre probably popping too early
(And running seismic so you have less rage to IP)
good point
(And running bolster which is so offensive that the game is probably punishing you)
Please do not use bolster
Guys, Best Serve Cold or Booming for mplus?
general question for tanking this week, does sanguine heal bosses anymore? I remember it used to, not sure if thats still the case
yea it does
I wouldn't know, the affixes I'm mostly dealing with this week are bolstering, volcanic, infernal
what good stuff is in the time walking worth farming for warriors ?
Faulty Countermeasures
maybe Windscar Whetstone as well
Jewelled Signet is ok, but nowt special
The rest is all a resounding meh
Let's put it this way
If you got none of them, you'd still be able to parse 99s ez
Get em if you want variety and an edge
Damn, all Iāve done so far is lfr garbage and I just did a +7 (Iām nub) and man it was stimulation overload because Iām not familiar at all with the constant rage spending management plus sanguine plus tornados
But I guess that will get better the more I just do it
storming sanguine is mega fun because it turns every key into dance dance revolution
add traditional m+ dodge mechanics for additional spice
tho clipping a tornado with your leap is THE most annoying fucking thing when trying to find assassins in PF/Dorma boss
Had that in NW. First boss. Jump to another ledge for the pool. Clipped a tornado which bounced me back. Sad life
Tornado on chamberlain tyrannical mid double soak on a 22 really clears the sinuses
Cue the boomkin not soaking beams or trying to cop a tornado to keep us from wiping
While doing less DPS than anyone, as is tradition
Meanwhile I'm watching this inbound tornado like
YES.
It's a really specific flavor
Oh and of course it's the last soak phase with 35 seconds on the clock and boss at 18%
I have a /yell macro for rally
And in moments like that chat bars are just RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY RALLY as I spam the shit out of it waiting for it to come off gcd
Wait
That never occurred to me
The buff becomes the yell, not the cast
Holy fuck Iām an idiot
Mcguire when they were talking about folds in the brain did you only get yours folded in half
It's okay that's why we're all here
Itās like a cueball
Slides right off the brisket eh
And some intergalactic plate just clicks into place
Also, +2 a 19 NW earlier, for some reason blizzard was hard against us every single player dc at some point in the dungeon
Damage was good tho so we smashed it
Idk how the fuck you guys are getting 10k + without seismic as necro lord
Just need to work in more revenge somehow haha
Iām running BSC but tempted to go back to BV for the empowered SS damage
It feels like Iām pressing revenge every GCD haha
And always angry press
Fuck bud that's all I got to offer
I have a mechanical keyboard so every key gets apocalyptic smash every time I press
Start logging runs so we can judge you
Got bullied
Tbf tho it transformed my tanking
Like overnight I stopped having a hard time
Haha nah I still have stuff to work on from the first round
Think Iām going over defensive now tho
Can't clear keys dead
Too much IP not enough revenj
I have grown to love the pure immortality of banner last stand and ravager
NL feels like a glow up
I was necrolord when it was shit
And now it just dominates and I love it
I adored kyrian but Iām a full convert
Spear is funny tho but it would just get in the way on sanguine
8 second hard root lmaoooo
Yeah it's agony
I just don't take warrior to my keys when I tank because of spear on linguini sanguini weeks
I'd rather eat my foreskin turned to shoe leather
what soulbind do we run as NL?
Marileth
Something like this:
thank you. making the swap from Kyrian to NL now
There are tweaks you can make; whether to take CAS or one of the finesse conduits. Whether the 3rd potency should be AJ, SoF or MBG. But the core of it stays like that
i gotcha thank you
my blocks are low in that theater but at times i swear the druid was just standing around doing nothing
By third I mean the one I actually have socketed in the second spot; I have AJ socketed
AAF and VR are lock-ins
@vernal vale when looking at the logs, where am I looking to determine how you did
Like if you say itās bad, where am I looking to see that stick out
Rage wasted, shield slam casts per minute, blocked hits
Are three of the biggest things
But thereās obviously a ton that goes into it
Whenever Iām checking someoneās log to see what went wrong those are the first 3 things I check
Anyone know why the outburst WA in the Pins when i upload it wont show symbols on the WA?
I donāt know how you died on the lich boss though thatās very weird
what's the fastest way to gain renown if you've alrdy done zm/the campaign for that covenant?
What do you click to see rage wasted
resources tab i think
Got it
Charge and Intervene usage is another key metric
my blocked hits are only at like 58-60% and I should be considerably higher, I wasted over 600 rage in that dungeon, I swapped from over using ignore pain to not pushing it enough which leads directly into the wasted rage
that lich boss seemed to confuse the druid or something. I was the final one alive every wipe there and no one should have died at all
parasite with no outside help slaps when your also having drain soul put on you which stops your rage gen
it was a horrendous run
So i just got the CoS ring (Jewelled signet of melandrus) it seems pretty strong for prot right?
I wouldn't turn it down, but I'm not going to go out of my way to farm it either
Still should be better than most 278 rings though right? Expect stitchfleshes misplaced signet
Nah the AA damage makes up for it being crit haste
jokes aside yeah its good
Ye i got it with socket too sooooo
