Butcher from upper platform in NW, matriarch from ardenwield on DoS. Preferably these packs needs to be packed seperately from the big pull.

ruby locust
#

Then one of the dps or heals go kyrian instead of you it’s simple as that but affix this week are actually not bad use the spiteful on a range to charge away from mobs or leap or if your a void elf use your port there’s plenty of options to get away it’s just knowing a safe stack to get away and what you feel comfortable with

#

I’m definitely not a expert though and just learning as I go just explaining my experiences more then anything

lyric geode
#

This week that I play as fury, what I do if I see my tank has stacks, I challengin shout and heroic leap.

chrome falcon
#

lol holy shit please don't do that

fierce quarry
#

thats pretty risky tech

chrome falcon
#

no it's just fucking stupid

fierce quarry
#

Unless ur tank is also prot wadr

urban portal
#

why cant you make your tank do that instead

chrome falcon
#

gotta consider who we're talking to here

fierce quarry
#

Anyway thank u all for the inputs :')

ruby locust
#

That’s a death wish

lyric geode
#

To be fair, i have tested this on low keys (15-17) with good results.

ruby locust
#

It’s still scary deathwish chilling

chrome falcon
#

yeah you do 0 damage for like 6+ seconds and pull the mobs away

#

sounds awesome

lyric geode
#

If the tank doesnt know how to kite, let me do its job for him.

urban portal
#

at least 2 people a seething

#

every time you do that

#

arent you literally the guy who didnt wanna play tank this week because you didnt wanna kite

lyric geode
chrome falcon
#

woah! 20!

#

it's a terrible idea if one of my dps did that i'd tell them i'm leaving if they did it again

#

you ruin your own damage and the damage of anyone who has aoe effects on the ground

lyric geode
#

It is quite annoying when you need an item and all you get is finger.

urban portal
#

i see

#

so you love kiting as a dps but not as a tank

#

how much of the chi spheres are part of the spec, is it constant having to monitor that crap

#

sort of like rogue combo points

Kinda only thing I know about windwalker is you don’t wanna hit the same button twice or something to that nature

I'm sleeping on this week havent run any dungeons as a 10 hour workday destroys mental energy.

#

I was looking forward to it as well.

honest parcel
#

Thank you so much for the long feedback! Will definitely work on that and for sure next week we'll kill them 😄 qq, what's bss?

#

Luckily noone blamed me more than I blamed myself for the wipe at 1% health sadge

vital hearth
#

You think this shield is any good? I am on the fence if having a regular shield with constant secondary stats is the better pick.

civic torrent
#

BSS is blood spattered scale

civic torrent
#

gut feel is that shield is good for Raid, 278 shield better for M+ due to stats, but probably small, completely unsure though

urban portal
#

both are very minor

ruby locust
#

I got one of those shields but can’t say I’ve tried it

timber slate
#

The on use effect is probably a meme i guess?

civic torrent
#

You wanna keep it on Defense mode 100% of the time

chrome falcon
#

the offence mode is so bad that it's honestly funny

#

i think it's 37 damage to melee attackers

#

at 278 ilvl

timber slate
#

Thorns ripoff lol

chrome falcon
#

emphasis on off

median tulip
#

It does a reasonably chunky ST hit when you use it to get it back to Def mode

chrome falcon
#

because that's what it always is

uncut zephyr
#

Attack mode Pepexecute

jagged pier
median tulip
#

I quite like the concept of that shield, but the execution is piss-poor

chrome falcon
#

they legit forgot to put an extra 0 at the end of the damage in offence mode

civic torrent
#

There you go

vital hearth
#

It does a reasonably chunky ST hit when you use it to get it back to Def mode
So I simmed it. Feels sour that it does less (-170) Single Target than a 272 Shield.

chrome falcon
#

yeah but defensively it'll be a big gap

#

with 6 ilvls as well

jagged pier
#

of course it will be less damage it hasnt got any stats

#

its good defensivly tho

vital hearth
#

I like the gimmick that you could potentially save one from death though. The Defensive Mode on-use is a 31K shield.

jagged pier
#

its like an extra 4% DR on blockable attacks

chrome falcon
#

tbh i should probably put it on my bars just in case i could save someone

vital hearth
#

Just wish you could skip out on the offensive mode to be honest.

jagged pier
#

u can

#

dont press the onuse

distant crystal
#

🧠

#

or press it once if it's currently on offense

chilly brook
vital hearth
#

Was thinking more in the sense that it wouldn't switch over to Offensive Mode once you use it to (potentially) save somebody.

chilly brook
#

just leave it in defensive mode

#

it's not worth touching

sick sentinel

C tier MDI incoming, 20 minutes

Ty for reminder

ruby locust
#

Would love to see a protections warrior in there for Atleast once

sick sentinel
#

besides doing weekly whats best way to fill up ally % quest?

#

WQ probably? chest and rares don't give shit for completion really

distant crystal
#

patterns?

#

just do WQ's every day & worldboss

#

kill a rare/loot a chest on your way

#

if you wanna rush it you can do the dailies

sick sentinel
#

48%, was at 2% when i started yesterday

timber slate
#

Rare gives about 5%

sick sentinel
#

finally unlocked flying so then i did 46%

timber slate
#

World boss gives 20%

#

Been busy farming netherwing rep
Got the achievement for defeating Skyshatter👀

sick sentinel
#

i got caught up in LFR thought because i needed the points to do my m+ chest piece, thats a really underrated source of cosmic fluxes, each boss you kill is garunteed to drop 150, and then the big elites drop around 100 each

#

you can get about 1.5--2k just from clearing LFR and it's trash

timber slate
#

Chests give 200 when you loot for the first time

sick sentinel
#

cuz, i've got 5/5 4/5 non lfr set, and 291 signet and 291 rep

#

thats alot of fluxes

timber slate
#

Signet on a prot👀

sick sentinel
#

for arms/fury cuz WotB sucks and doesn't proc off 4set

timber slate
#

Arms dont use signet anymore

sick sentinel
#

i can learn either treblim understanding or sopranian learning, soon which is more important for ZM?
i need either 141 or 181 robot points, no idea what robot buddy does besides that i need him for a few quests

tropic linden
#

Important for what?

#

Because both are pretty unimportant

#

U just want the one that get u the mounts

tropic linden
#

He does nothing

#

Important

sick sentinel
#

the first 3 ones on the second row, you get 1 rank of them and they unlock more WQ in more locations, which i assume, is more/faster rep

dawn canyon
#

Thats mandatory

#

Rest doesnt matter

Hey how good is the shield from vigilant guardian?

dawn canyon
#

Scroll up a bit

strong forum
#

why are suddenly so many people asking about this shield

#

legit like 4 people today alone peepostudy

chilly brook
#

if yes

#

it's the best shield you can use

#

if no then it's slightly better defensively at same ilvl and worse offensively

knotty leaf
#

ty was just asking for my co-tank 🙂

chilly brook

why can't he do his own research

He's a warrior.. You know how warriors are

sick sentinel

that i believe is his profile, he has 3/4

chilly brook
#

@gray iris my man

gray iris
#

what is 3/4

chilly brook
#

these shield slam casts

#

no wonder you can't sustain banner

dawn canyon
chilly brook
#

your shield slam casts per minute should be at least double that

#

you're missing ravager casts for sure

gray iris
median tulip
#

Don't forget idiots bursting Vy for their personal DPS instead of taking Urh

chilly brook
#

my DoS is only 5 minutes longer and I have 20 more ravagers

#

your avatar casts are really low

#

you only used last stand once

#

you should be popping that in tandem with banner

sick sentinel
#

do a +33, WTF you have no life LOSER

chilly brook
#

everytime

#

you have very low charges and intervenes

gray iris
#

will have to work on all these things

chilly brook
#

The biggest thing is you're just not casting something every global

sick sentinel
chilly brook
#

You should be the top of casts

Shit bucket

chilly brook

your IP casts are insanely low

#

only 40 for the whole dungeon?

Do I tell him about the forbidden macro

gray iris

#

Macro IP to revenge?xeos

chilly brook
#

well really it's a non-issue with 2p

gray iris
#

what is 2p and 4p?

chilly brook
#

tier set

#

2 piece and 4 piece

gray iris
#

i dont know what that is lol

chilly brook
#

I'd wager you're wasting outburst on thunderclap

gray iris
#

i keep tc on cd

chilly brook
median tulip
#

You should try to never waste Outburst procs on TC

#

Shield Slam gives far more Rage

dawn canyon
#

also if the damage concerns you

#

the rage from SS outburst

median tulip
#

Thunderclap is basically a trap button when Outburst is up

dawn canyon
#

is 2 revenges

#

which beats outburst TC

chilly brook
#

half your outbursts were wasted on TC

#

that's a massive rage loss

gray iris
#

NL is very new to me.. I have only played kyrian this whole game...

dawn canyon
#

and the increased rage makes it even more worthwhile

chilly brook
toxic pewter
#

Is there anything to be said to never use thunderclap? Simply use the global on something more useful? Like unbind thunderclap altogether?

#

just revenge instead

#

then again lose the 5 rage..

#

just realized that is dumb

gray iris
#

Yeah i need to fix a lot of things

chilly brook
#

and more specifically

dawn canyon
#

abc

gray iris
#

I have been mindlessly doing dungeons without looking at the data

chilly brook
#

hitting shield slam as soon as it's up

dawn canyon
#

always be casting

#

unless its TC during outburst

chilly brook
#

focus on those two things first

gray iris
chilly brook
#

Well

#

Actually

#

Just focus on hitting Shield Slam on CD

#

the global thing is kinda a farce since we don't have a filler

dawn canyon
#

shieldslam THE spec

gray iris
chilly brook
#

Use Ignore Pain to help you from capping rage

chilly brook
#

nor is avatar

#
  1. ravager is huge rage
#
  1. avatar is off GCD
#

So is shield block

dawn canyon
#

pre place ravager and then charge in

gray iris
#

yeah now i understand...will focus on ss....

#

sometimes i press revenge when ss is up

#

then i run out of rage and wait for either ss or tc to show up

chilly brook
#

Just to put it in persepctive

#

you're handicapping your rage gen quite heavily

gray iris
#

damn your rage is almost always over 25

urban portal
#

you gotta spend rage to gain it back

dawn canyon
#

look at the number

urban portal
#

thats what my mom told me

dawn canyon
#

he doubles rage gen

chilly brook
chilly brook
tropic linden
#

The main thing is: try to improve 1 thing at a time

#

If u try to juggle all the tips ur gonna fumble

chilly brook
#

shield slam is going to be the biggest rage generation fix

#

hence why I'm saying to focus on it

tropic linden
#

Do a key and focus on using SS on CD

gray iris
tropic linden
#

And never IP if ur not gonna overcap

gray iris
chilly brook
tropic linden
#

IP is a shit defensive skill for the cost

#

It won't help u survive

chilly brook
#

as prot you have to use things before the damage comes out not after

gray iris
chilly brook
#

so panic hitting shield wall

#

or IP

#

hurts you

tropic linden
#

If u shield wall when ur at 30% health, u pressed it too late

sick sentinel
#

its hard to get in habit but you want to hit SW early rather than late

gray iris
tropic linden
#

That's why we have SR, Demo Shout

#

And kicks

chilly brook
#

^

tropic linden
#

But we are one of the tanks that suffer most from lack of kicks

gray iris
#

I like Griff's idea of doing shit before taking damage rather than reacting

chilly brook
#

Like in DoS

gray iris
#

DoS mobs are crazy difficult

chilly brook
#

the caster pack on the left before ardenweald and on the right before hakkar

#

we can't block spells

#

and they chain cast

#

so ideally you roll into those packs with defensives available

#

and use shield wall before you get chunked

#

then once that's down, maybe pop your scale

gray iris
#

shiel wall is only 8 seconds

chilly brook
#

use Spell Reflect

#

then if you don't have anything left in the tank for defensives get the healers barkskin

gray iris
chilly brook
#

the pack shouldn't live super long

gray iris
#

i seem to miss out on the ss cast a lot

chilly brook
#

yep

#

just focus on that

#

then we can move onto fixing other things

#

🙂

#

one step at a time and before you know it you'll see a huge difference

tropic linden
#

Now with Wo we don't need to do those 2 hard pulls in DOS one after another

gray iris
#

haha yeah...

tropic linden
#

Or use hero on the first pull

#

And all ur defensives for the second one

#

And remember that u have a fear and a stun for the casters

#

But ur team need to kick

gray iris
median tulip
#

Honestly with Urh those packs aren't even difficult back to back. You'll have Shield Wall for both

gray iris
#

There are so many things happening at the same time during these pulls

chilly brook
#

Which is why focusing on one thing at a time is helpful, at some point that one thing that you had to focus on becomes second nature

median tulip
#

My group usually dumps an Earth Elemental on the first platform in order to soak the bonesoldiers shadow damage instacast

chilly brook
#

so then you focus on the other thing

#

and that becomes second nature

gray iris
chilly brook
#

eventually you instinctively just do and that leaves you with a lot of situational awareness

#

we all had to start somewhere

#

I used to be a green parsing Andy who asked a lot of stupid questions in here

jagged pier
#

i used to click 👍

#

all takes time

gray iris
chilly brook
#

The important thing is to just set goals for yourself and continually grind to get better

vernal vale
#

Tackle them one thing at a time.

chilly brook
#

The upside of knowing you have a lot to work on is that you have lots of goals yep

vernal vale
#

I've been slapping one problem at a time to get better and better.

chilly brook
#

if only I could get as good as @jagged pier

sick sentinel
#

note to self if you get the teleport mark dont run to a trap on artificer

Went from 3k wasted rage in a dungeon to under 1k now.

Still working on improving it.

chilly brook

#

"how do i react to all of this" you can't and you shouldn't try

chilly brook
#

I was the most competitive I ever was in Siege when I picked up For Honor and really grinded that game to try and get super good

vernal vale
gray iris
vernal vale
#

Best way to initially improve your cast count.

vernal vale
chilly brook
#

we do occasionally have dead globals

vernal vale
#

Stupid outburst ready and only Thundercats available.

chilly brook
#

mostly when you have outburst and shield slam isn't up but you can't revenge either because you almost have a second one

gray iris
#

how do you know your every global is filled?

vernal vale
#

That's my biggest waste for global

chilly brook
#

every time

mighty valley
#

you can start mashing a little before to make sure the server recognizes your button press asap

vernal vale
#

Details tells you how many times you use abilities. Over a set amount of time you should have set number of casts

mighty valley
#

just Always Be Pressing

vernal vale
#

So if you did it in a minute you can do the math.

next shadow
#

anyone able to roast my log, i started playing prot this week after playing fury for most of sl. i feel like my damage is relatively low, anddd i never press shield wall or probably any of my cds enough, but not sure if thats gapping my damage that hard or if im just not pressing enough in general

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/H1nZR3FQ9rJGbaq6#fight=2&type=summary

vernal vale
#

Honestly the just presses buttons meme is super honest

tropic linden
#

Ur blocks are low

#

62%

mighty valley
#

This isn't bad at all for just starting this week tbh

tropic linden
#

Idk if ur taking hits on the back

chilly brook

he has 80%

I was at 80% blocked dmg and didn't know how to improve

vernal vale

I just realized I'm doing a lot better than I thought.

chilly brook
#

13cpm

#

vs my 16cpm

#

shield slam looks fine

#

blocked hits are fine but could be better

mighty valley
#

i think overall this log shows you know what to do, you just need more practice to do it. intervene definitely low, a bit of wasted rage, tighten those up and you'll get more revenj to get more uptime etc etc

vernal vale
#

Pick a problem and start slapping it until it goes away and pick another.

chilly brook
#

you could have better usage of outburst on shield slam vs TC for sure @next shadow

chilly brook
#

damage and filter it for outburst

#

32 thunderclaps with outburst

gotcha thankyou

everything seems fine

Why venthyr?

It's literally the worst

i have/want to get 80 rekown on all the covenants

may as well

vernal vale
sick sentinel
#

76 venthyr, and like, i think 71 NF

#

its zero rage simulator

mighty valley
#

venthyr is the worst, but also the coolest. so why not get 80 renown

vernal vale
#

When I've been doing dungeon keys that have required me to dps I've just been staying necro.

#

Sure I could burst harder as kyrian but I'm lazy as fuck. Why swap.

mighty valley
#

I started Venthyr, then Kyrian when swapping opened up, then Necro in anticipation of this patch

#

fuck night fae who care

#

id like to get the flying mounts and other crap from all the covenants if i could but meh

some of it not al

Just assumed u were prot

IMO venthyr armor is the best

followed by necrolord

vernal vale

Venthyr has great cosmetics

tropic linden

then kyrian and last one night fae

mighty valley
#

anyway if you're not pushing top keys or currently mythic raiding you can really do whatever you want for fun and there's no point sneering at someone for it

sick sentinel

i like all the aesthetics outside of NF but i can 100% totally agree that style is for some

Haha

I mean in a realistic sense

tropic linden

Cause u don't need heal, ur a beast

chilly brook
#

I’m gonna say something

#

And you’re not going to like it

#

You take a shaman

#

Not because of the healing

#

But because they bring an interrupt

ocean yoke
#

shaman utility is pretty gamer

tropic linden
#

Actually u would like different healers for different dungeons cause the dispel restrictions

#

But shaman has hero and interupt, and that is king

chilly brook
#

I mean hybrids exist

#

So you don’t need specific heals for specific debuffs

tropic linden
#

U don't need anything

#

Ppl were bringing hpriest for every keys in MDI

#

not because of dispel

#

Because they bring tons of dmg

And that's all that matter

and it did

torpid junco
#

okay, i have the loggerhead addon and have downloaded the warcraft logs app. I am enabling like it asked every time i start a run. when i try and upload a log it take me to files on my computer.... where are they stored? struggling to upload logs

chilly brook
#

@torpid junco

dawn canyon
#

there should be a log folder in ur wow folder

torpid junco
#

ive read jakeys thing... doesnt answer my question

chilly brook
#

it literally does

#

All these options will store your logs in your wow file inside the retail folder and the log file.

torpid junco
#

yea but how do you get there

chilly brook
#

you go to your wow folder?

#

inside the battlenet folder most likely

#

just like you access any other program folder on your computer

torpid junco
#

how do you get to the wow folder

chilly brook
#

in the file explorer....

torpid junco
#

this sound right:
-This Pc
-Local disc (C:)
-Program files (x86)
-Wow folder
-Retail

chilly brook
#

When you've closed the logging process or exited WoW, go to upload the log using the Warcraft Logs Uploader. Use the Browse feature to locate the text file. This can be found in: Program Files -> World of Warcraft - > Logs.

chrome falcon
torpid junco
#

when i click on logs my options are Blizzard browser and raider io logs archive which are both blank

dawn canyon
#

cuz theres no way someone actually plays like that

chilly brook
torpid junco
#

i get a prompt everytime i run a dung from loggerhead asking if i want to enable logging the dung

#

and i cllick enable but ive never typed /combatlog

chilly brook
#

it probably does it for you

#

never used loggerhead

#

just/combatlog then after whatever I'm doing tab out to the client and upload a log from it

#

it really should be that simple

#

the logs will be stored under retail in the log folder

#

just choose that folder from the browse option in the uploader

torpid junco
#

man i feel like a boomer

chilly brook
#

unfortunately I can't give much more of a detailed instruction or show you what I do since I'm not at my PC

I'm not at my computer or I would share some Screencast for you. Loggerhead is great because it's automatic.

Hi, I'm trying to understand prot's playstyle, are you trying to maintain 100% uptime on ignore pain?

chrome falcon
#

No

#

Ignore pain goes away when you get meleed once my your grandma

#

Ignore pain is there to dump rage

rough spear
#

best m+ trinkets for prot?

torpid junco
#

Probably blood scale and old warrior souls or codex

timber slate
#

Sac is also good from what ive heard

candid path
#

Any combo of these three is ideal:

#

If you're Necro and you chain-pull like a gorilla, Old Warrior is nice

#

but for dungeons where you literally can't do that, like caster wing of ToP, or Spires, it's turbo-ass

torpid junco
#

If you are running keys where you aren’t worried about dying than overpowering crystal with so Leah trinket can help you a lot on damage

candid path
#

Soleah's is arguably better than OWS because of that limitation

#

yeah, very true

#

And if you are playing Necro Prot, it is pretty hard to die on most weeks

#

Necrotic-Fort, it's pretty easy to die on any tank

sick sentinel
#

scale is great because it does a big absorb and a bunch of aoe damage, i'd pick it over just about anything

#

some pepega mode activated boss positioning here (we live cuz its a 10)

scenic mural
#

is that your rage bar on the left?

#

and meat hook as a trinket in m+ is troll

I'm pretty sure 8f you get into combat your equiped gear gets locked and you can't change anything, unless it's just weapon slots

cloud onyx
#

So my prot warrior has always been orc. Created him back in bc. I'm thinking of race changing him. Which horde race is good for tanks?

median tulip
#

Orc

cloud onyx
#

I was throwing around the idea of Tauren or highmountain Tauren

median tulip
#

TBH there's practically nothing in it. Vulpera Nose for Trouble is nice, BElf AoE dispel has its uses, Tauren Stompy thing, Troll Haste... just play for the transmog is my advice (which means Orc, IMO)

#

I'm Mag'har, FTR

blazing condor
cloud onyx
#

Lol yea, for xmog I'm gonna farm mythic drazalor dinosaur set and mythic antorus set. Using both with different color variations of legionbreaker mage tower legion weapons

blazing condor
#

its such a miniscule difference between the races it has pretty much 0 impact

cloud onyx
#

Yea, good point. So basically xmog over anything

median tulip
#

Yeah

#

TBH the most impactful Racial I have is the 10% mounted speed

cloud onyx
#

Thats fair. I'll prob stay with orc. Already changing shaman to zandalari troll

candid path
#

HMT is the best tank race from a numerical standpoint, for horde

#

it's a pretty slim difference even between best and worst, so I would say even in the high-end you can just go with aesthetics and be fine

#

only real bonus that has an outsized impact is Arcane Torrent, in my experience

#

but I couldn't imagine playing Warrior/DK/Druid without Bull Rush

jagged pier
#

really if u care about race u go vulpera for a tank char tbh

dawn canyon
#

Hmt raid vulpera m+ or what

jagged pier

i mean raid doesnt really matter at all tbh

Hi. I've been leveling a protection warrior after tanking as paladin and druid. Both of these classes have a "filler" ability. Swipe and hammer of righteous. A aoe melee to use inbetween cooldowns.
Warrior is taking some getting used to. Not having that ability since you take the devestator passive at level 15.
Is this something you get used to. Or is the something I should be filling that gap with.

sturdy sable
#

Naw you just have downtime at lower levels

urban portal
#

You can choose to not take devastator early

sturdy sable
#

You should be spending rage on revenge

#

Yeah but who wants to run punish

inner forge
#

So when I get to mythic levels, I'll be using ignore pain and low levels just use revenge as the filler?

chrome falcon
#

yeah levelling warrior is not remotely similar to playing warrior

sturdy sable
#

Ignore pain exists to dump excess rage

chrome falcon
#

we're extremely hard carried by borrowed power

sturdy sable
#

But you really only do that at max level

#

With the afore mentioned borrowed power

strong forum
#

We don't have any "filler" abilities

#

Later on you won't have enough time to even press your normal rotational abilities

#

Cuz you'll generate so much dumbfuck rage that you can't spend it fast enough

inner forge
#

What borrowed power do we have this expansion?
Sorry I've returned after a 2 year gap.
At low levels revenge procs arnt exactly common. I presume when doing mythic content. Ignore pain is used for dumping rage. And revenge only on procs which will be more common?

strong forum
#

And have to resort to spaing IP purely to avoid rage capping

strong forum
#

Through tierset, legendary and covenant you'll be literally bombarded with rage

#

So you'll have like 30cpm on revenge and IP, alone combined

#

(casts per minute)

median tulip
#

and you get extra Revenge procs from Reprisal

I hate getting free revenge procs now

Id rather just spend the rage

Just need something to bind to me "e" keybind. Which I used for swipe, hammer of righteous. And bloodlust as fury.
I didn't realise Ignore pain was spammed so much. Doesn't seem like it helps much (hence the spam I suppose)

sturdy sable
#

It doesnt help

#

Its used to dump rage off the gcd

It does help if you spam it

sturdy sable

And to pad out magic damage hits

No indomitable helps if you spam it

We can shittalk IP as much as we want, but the fact remains that alot of tankiness comes from the bazillion of IPs we get

I.e. taunt is always the first button on my mouse, interrupt the second, slows on third, 4th is a utility slot etc.

I try keep them similar Aswell on every char. Q is thunderclap. Similar to consecration as pld. Hammer of righteous doesn't have anything comparable.
Depending on covenant of choice. Might be an option there

hammer of righteous is much more similar to tc than consecration is

dogshit abilities that do 2 damage that you hate pressing
