Which just made me waste more rage than I have been. All in all a frustrating day of dungeons.
Lots of free casting in sanguine
Has to
It's unacceptable that SR gets eaten up "randomly" and you're left without the magic DR
In certain pulls you'd rather have the DR last for 5sec than have it reflect 1 spell
Or just reflect for the full 5sec, it wouldn't hurt anybody to have it back
Oh that would be so nice
I feel that more on Prot, but I notice it more on DPS/Fury, because the sound effect makes me instantly realize something is now wrong
you are full right
yup
Also, it reflecting for the whole time was hilarious on Shade of Medivh
since one of my friends is an arcane mage and you could reflect the entirety of the arcane missiles that gave a 50% arcane damage taken debuff back on him
at least when i played legion, which was when return to kara first came out
game sucks
Fun isn't allowed for tanks. Otherwise we'd still have vengenace
i member back in legion i was doing a high tryan upper and my group were like u aint gunna live med
pop SR boss dead
i take like no damage
gottem
'cool you were saying?'
i miss legion warrior
and wod warrior
and mists warrior
bring back cool stuff
but if we had that SR we would be mega busted in m+ tbh
but hear me out;
if they bring back those old dungeons, we should get the old stuff to deal with it. Eh? Eh?
not really it depends on teh dungeons
youll find the old dungeons generally have far less mechanics
and generally will be pretty easy imo
sure they were build around classes having different stuff
Listen this is all part of the plan to get them to put Vengeance back in when they bring back a MoP dungeon
they arent ever gunna allow vengance back into the game
As they shouldn't
thats the wrong opinion
But I want them to make that mistake
it doesnt make sense i have the most aggro on somthing when i'm the least threatening because i do the least amount of damage
lol
I always mentally understand it as controlling the enemy, like threatening them with the weapon if they were to turn or something. It does not work out as soon as kiting really comes into play, but it's something
Rip no opc
I did it!! I killed Kruul!! Traham is a free gnome
Thanks for all your advices
(well technically Kor'vayn killed Krull since I messed up my defensive and died with 1k8 hp left on kruul)

But I'm still happy
Well you guys werent lying, prot in m+ is fun af
Is it possible to learn this power?
swapping to double SR legendary just for medivh was so sick
it wouldn't really matter much these days
but swapping to seismic for easy packs would be sick
Too much minmaxing tbh
I'd love it
Swapping between seismic/reprisal and defensive trinkets/offensive trinkets for bosses/packs
It would be so much better
it was used in legion because they got to points where like a boss mechanic would kill you without prydaz
90% of the time they kept the same stuff
Still let's you go ham for packs
And defensives for bosses
Or ham for bosses that arent hard on tank
nothing like a 54 minute streets 17 at ~9am to start your day


i work at getting my IO up
Smh
54 minutes lmao
the warlock was very madge
what was their dps?
"you shouldn't do 17's if you don't know what to do" leaves seconds its over, hard to blame him
I've almost depleted a mists+10 yesterday cuz I had people who really shouldn't be doing 10s
I did as much dmg as the rest of the group combined
Actually wild
i regularly boost ppl in 15-18 range that shouldnt be there
I should've gone necro cuz we 3 phased fucking first boss almost

did a 10 on my 237 dk, but the tank was 266 and never used WoG and had an overall dps of 4k lol
Those are the time when you really think where all his holy power went
I had 17k dps after first boss was dead, 1st dps has 7k
pog
Actually wild
EM execute pumper
Nomeratur is out of this world
Seismic pump
how do you survive without reprisal
press buttons

and it was a +10


87% with seismic is my best
It's the only log I could find of you
I know it's not your best overall
But ye, was my first seismic necro key
Like key where I also tanked
even if i dont time them i can do 2 more keys today and get 3/3 278
Seismic to pull off perfectly imo needs more effort than reprisal, thoughts? @strong forum @jagged pier
yer
and more trust
in your group
like for instance, when i run seismic i just pull maybe only slightly bigger but most of the time i dont so i only get like 1k extra max
could get far more but i dont trust pugs
Uuuh I guess, to keep up Banner more with seismic you gotta literally press TC and SS on CD and still dump with IP alot
Just spamming revenge isn't feasible
That's what I learned in that key
Keeping up Banner is more important than spamming revenge
Yup
And avoid using outburst on TC even more
Cuz with rep it's actually not that bad on 5+ targets to use outburst on TC if you're playing SoF
But it shouldn't be a thing you prioritise
playing with a legendary that increases dps vs playing with a legendary that gives you rage and blocktime is always gonna be harder yeah
i don't think that's even a question
Well it's about efficiency
Cuz when you play seismic you think "okay gotta spam revenge alot cuz that just makes sense"
But you should just play normally and focus on rage gen instead of revenge
the only thing i think of when playing siesmic is 'i dont need to charge or intervene on cd' :KEKW:
i still do it out of habit
That's the part that makes me feel bad about seismic
"oh can't gen rage on demand :("
I do
i know i should
I hate to say it but I'm a double time cuck
well so am i
So used to it now...
but i just spunk them when i play siesmic and remeber to charge
like literally
never do it with rep
i guess because i always hold one for SB uptime
π€
I don't
I only use rep for rage
And I try to keep it on CD

Often im left without charges
But Ive built up enough duration to keep me up
You can make it
how to skip picrel, this group often gets pulled puts our group over %, then we have to wall jump around the solo guy at last boss room
Which group?
just play the patrol and walk around the solo guy at the end, you dont have to do any fancy wall jumps to skip him
Ah the pat, yeah don't worry about them, just leap into that two scale binder pack with SW up, the will cast sticks at the same time if you leap in the middle, count to 3-5, watch one and stun or fear it
Pat does nothing without a fish stick up
sanguini
they dont drop sanguine
okay, thats surprising that trash pat doesn't
iirc theyre non-elites, the general rule is that non-elites dont drop sanguine
there are exceptions ofc
Which solo Guy?
the first mob after second boss
if i do that, i'm going to jump right if that works, since its closer to a relics, unless your meant to go left and leave the right pack with relics to double pull last 2
OK thanks!
What is the damage of Shield Slam based off of? Just AP or does the shield "block" value itself factor into it? thanks.
only AP
Thanks.
this is what a normal route looks like. Last pack you can tank in that red circle which is over the water but the sharks wont get you if you are close to the rocks and when they start dying you can move slowly back to the entrance area, just be mindful of the giant
i tend to think in a hold W fashion 1-2 packs at a time, kill it, move on
At your key level, hold W still works, but with some pugs any key is a hard key
@sick sentinel thats totally fine but you the route that mister bubbles posted is extremly pug friendly if you want to go 1-2 packs at the time
u can kill the relic pack last which unfortunately has 2 fishsticks in it
for the pug friendliest experience of your life u taunt just the fishies and the relics will stay
then u can kill wo afterwards and enjoy the free skip
yo guys
arms playing some prot
we have the big slam every how many secs ?
approx
It's less optimal, because you have to go back at the end, but I like wo skipping from the first pull immediately to the first boss. Then you do the rest of the dungeon, and come back at the end and just kill murlocs until you hit percent. It's just simple and it works. We timed a 20 with that route.
Took random log from Sense, he cast Shield Slam 13.8 times per minute
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/JMr1mqthK8vFbRnk#fight=7&type=casts&source=2
I did it 10.5 times per minute, in one of my own random logs. But I'm just a newb prot warrior.
The Outburst tier bonus with shield slam?
yup !
5-10 seconds
In that sense log, he did it 161 times. 33:41min. So... I think that's on average once every 12.5 s
Spend Rage. Get stacks.
now i have to figure how to do it
what is your best rage spenders prot guys ?
again i'm arms pvp since centuries
pure prot noob
u should look up a basic prot war guide
I've seen 26s timed with that route this week
because most of your defensive abilities and also your offensive abilities will use rage
so there is no best spender π
niceee
oh yea the shaman that does tank dmg complained
but he for sure got the soleahs trinket
He complained on the start trash to captain time hook that "his leggo doesn't detect big pulls" or something and i thought he was being ?toxic? dunno 0.00001 second later shaman splat
so i burshed it off
and at end he says his leggo really is bugged?
I have seen the unity lego bug out a few times. Apparently happens when certain classes change covenants.
It just doesn't do anything after this happens. You have to take it off and put it back on your character to fix it.
It's when you have a unity in idk wrists and swap gear
So it's a Belt unity
It then messes with the Bonus ID for your covenant thing
he zoned out and back in and then i had pulled trash figured he cant zone in due to combat, he did anyways called him haxxor
+17 NW, oh god. i hate that place
NW is the easiest dungeon in the expansion
mists, and PF are free
NW literally kills itself for you
Easy timed for the boys
Remember to grab a kyr

do you guys ever feel like your skill has gone down when you play some other class for a while? I played warlock for a few days and now i freaking died on top 15 on the first pull lol.. It wasnt coming naturally
there is more to wow than pwar you mean? im confused
I mean thatβs not your skill going down; thatβs just being out of practice
To all the great prot warriors out here : how do you not waste rage ? know all the possible values (with LS up, outburst, procs...) and don't press a generator if it's going to cap ?
spam IP
if I do that mindlessly I end up ragestarving for shield block π¦
hence my question : is the opposite of mindlessly "know all the possible values" and decide ?
or do you end up having some "feeling" about it
use IP if above 60
if youre during LS youll jsut get loaded
its alot of quick maffs and just experience aswell as feelycraft idk
generally you just dont wanna dip below 30 unless you know you can get enough rage until your next SB
or just charge/intervene ykno
yeah
Real talk my luck with tank trinkets has been abysmal. For the sake of tanking 15-20s would it be worth dropping ilvl to take one of my tank trinkets from last tier or stick to what I'm using for stats? Sitting on a 272 OPC, 262 Sack of Terror, 278 IQD from this tier but a 239 aegis, 252 phial, 239 weave, and a 236 scale from last tier. Been using OPC and Sack of Terror as it feels like it would have been the better route for damage but should I be considering equipping one of the lower ilvl trinkets at this point?
opc + phial
Mastery on Sack that bad huh? lol
aegis is good
True. Working on grabbing a scale, phial, and codex to swap around but dozens of runs in the last couple weeks and still coming up short :(.
I know it was sick at 239 last tier but I imagine it's kind of fallen behind for it's ilvl since I don't have a Mythic one yea?
Hmm, maybe I'll play around with Aegis/Phial and OPC/Phial then while I await new trinkets then. Thanks!
I convinced my guild to do M Nine after we finish prog so I can get a 252 
Imagine not pugging first 3 mythic every week
I'm actually using the ip/revenge macro for situations where a) a SS proc + other rage sources capped me to 100 rage from 0 and I have another SS proc after the first. b) if I need a few gcds to analyze what I am going to do next, but it is a very much panic button. I'm wasting less rage in turn. Aiming to play optimally due to banner is pog. If anything I think many of us will end up being better pwars comes dragonflight
Its funny how dps players can be so toxic when you pull by a mistake ππππ
its funny how its not their fault if they do it tho
its still your fault if they do it, they start yelling/spamming "aggro, aggro!! tank aggro!"
apparently next affixes are TYRANNICAL, BOLSTERING, EXPLOSIVE, ENCRYPTED
ugly week if i say so i hate explosive
next week is an alt week
whats wrong with next week
tyrannical slows dungeon, bolstering slows packs, explosives slow dps as ppl and healer are focused on them
tyrannical sucks
bolstering and explosive both can get out of hand if not handled properly
ya well said
what are the best setups for Anduin HC number wise?
But continues complaining when the run is done and we did it in time?
2-3-9 is good or?
ya
Wow
always the tanks fault
Its my fault aswell when they dont check their back π€·

well 99% of the time it wont be that but they have to make an excuse
anyone have a good macro for Healthstone and Phial in the same? π€
so it only uses one, and then swaps somehow
shakira shakira wooahh woaoohh
Sorry i always mix you and littleting together

when are you supposed to orb on nar'zudah? when he does his grim fate or interupt first cast of back sorcerer, collapse group orb and dumpster sorcs?
on pull
I always skip that pack TBH
and then just dumpster the 2 sorcs and then melee dude?
@strong forum what trinkets would you suggest getting asap from m+ as a prot warrior?
Narz is the annoying-est mob there
Sadly has the highest hp
in my key he will have 1.26 m
any 2 of so'leah, scale, phial, ticking sack and AFE
so, what, just invis left of him?
you can heroic leap past him even
That's what I do, yeah
dont even need invis
lock gates is another thing i seen
I've seen all the other methods fuck up, so I always use invis
it's on my belt so fuck it i'll probably pop it anyways
Can we leap past 1st theater pack too?
Use your invis on narz
Have group use it
They always pull it somehow
So rather safe than sorry
for the price of an invis pot it's just safer to use 'em that risk it
well they can unvis
i'll just get a rogue, or tell people invis
but you as warri dont need it
Rogue shroud still owns 
he's absolutely worth killing in terms of efficiency
wtf do the corpses do if anything lil skelly men
90% of my keys someone fucking pulls on invis
?
it hurts my soul
gg and littleting is the exact opposite of a person
The only thing they have in common are the rhinestone sunglasses
I did an offspec key recently and put on the jailer trinket for fun
Forgot about it during the big Wo run near the end of Mists, absolutely exploded right in the middle of a pack
Whoops

thx
Little is a troll and he's a panda
So you have no real reason to feel that strongly as hate? 
They are rivals since birth

ret pally lives to interupt spells apparently
DOS 18 now....
yogi slowly becoming a pro
hes ramping
they disconnected me, they're trying to shut me down
@oblique garnet ily my brother i am 10x the man gg is

how do we pull DOS now?, i'd just resort to the ring and boss method
First pack without relics, then once everything is low pull relics, kill wo -> hakkar or ardenweald
Then go from there
is this normal man keys we are talking about, we kill that trash on the ring some time with cds after wo i guess
So you use that wo for the last run
Dos is a big fat Wo abuse dungeon
well, what im getting scared of only thing there is uh, final boss
so, if someone doesn't hit it, ..... trash...
hi
so nothing has stealth detect?
Wo doesn't ignore true sight
Ah, then I guess wo routes just don't have true sight mobs in em
I wouldn't know, I've never played dungeons with rogues
do you even know what a rogue is?
not like there are any real times you Wo skip through true-sight anyway
Mists is like the one dungeon that happens
unless you wo skip in streets over miniboss for some reason or try and wo skip pat dogs in HoA
Hey guys, so uhm. I'm hunting for an alt, since im a wl main im going for a tank. Is Prot warr as susceptible to itemization as brm is? I mean, I tried tanking jailer hc as a 261ilvl BRM and......well, let's just say the damage intake was kinda outside of my hp bar. Meanwhile my bdk with similar versatility lvls.........no probs. So was my gdruid.
But I grew bored pretty fast of these tanks......i always had a thing for prot warr π
They're that thing that always runs away in arena
No honor, only running
wtf?
π₯
Tanking jailer with 260ilvl shouldn't be a problem on any tank
Once brm has 4pc is dumbfuck easy and practically impossible to die
That is the thing, I had 4pc
Pwar takes actual effort to play to a good level
but I only have 11% vers. Meanwhile my bdk had 7% and took less dmg
well, thats not an issue
Vers doesn't mean shit
I dont back off when it comes to learning
Bdk and brm are the 2 most busted tanks for jailer tho
My Brm just got crushed
So if you have a hard time on brm then you'll defo fail on prot
Prot takes 6x the effort
My problem is not the effort
my problem was that my brm obviously has a problem and my bdk didnt
π€·ββοΈ idk what to tell you
Bdk can outheal jailer tank buster
Monk needs a bit more
the thing is it wasnt the tankbuster that busted me
Eh?
it was the dot
Ya that is the tank buster
the dot combined with his aa
You shouldn't tank him with the dot up
you dont understand
It wasnt me on the receiving end of the tank buster debuff
not the dmg increase
only the dot
Yes
the tank buster is the 200% dmg increase
which i didnt have
The dot is what everyone gets when they stack π
anyway, untill i discover what went wrong im going for prot warr. I am just curious if it is as "naked" to jailer dmg as brm
I was under the impression that the pylon destroying shattering blast was the tank buster but aight
Cuz I don't see anything that does dmg besides shattering blast and melee attack
Everything else should be literally 0 dmg
But im just talking out of my ass here, I've not done the fight and probably never will
Pwar is one of the better tanks I'd say against jailer given our strength against his melee attacks, the only issue could be dealing with the shattering blast dot
Thx @strong forum No, I never survived to p2 jailer
As a brm
it is why I switched bdk and it was easy.....
Necro everywhere
Playing anything but necro in raid is just inting
Or m+ really
when I had ams up the shattering blast i took no dmg but I dont have a problem managing my cds and reduce the dmg it was just frustrating and bdk, let's just say they are everywhere and I am a hippie
I fully understand not enjoying being just 1 of many
I did not like when pwar was meta in bfa
I like all tanks to some degree I dont like feeling squishy either
i dont believe you even need to soak the dot part of the combo, its tankbuster on just target>the second hit putting dot>the split attack
which is what i felt as a brm
Can you remind what's so-so about scale trinket ? I just looted a 262 upgradable phial
its how the raid leader managed us
If you're dying on monk then there's gotta be some serious missplay happening
everyone stack
Or just literally nobody healing
we were 10 2/2/6
whats the rules once i get wo buff how does that work
If you hVe the bubble around you, you're in stealth
If you dont, you're not instealth
can i mount? what can cause it to end early if anything, beside death and it literal falls off
just like an invis pot, but longer, faster
Not useful outside of high keys
Imo
anything you cast it pulls you out of Wo @sick sentinel
you have 150% speed during wo, faster than mount
You're faster with Wo than mount
why ? the shield is too low ? or not necessary because damage is too low ? (I'm in the 20 range atm)
if you cast something for 0.1 you get out of wo and pull, I've had alot of people not realizing that and pulled in SoA, mostly
probably gunna modify the route to be smaller chunk pulls, in bird wing, but everything else looks fine to me
I've had a lot of people accidentally pulling in SoA, but still can't male out why
If you got logs I'd love to check it out
crafted neck is very good yeah
272 with socket may beat it?
ok so 272 Phial + 272 AFE it is then
Yes apb
You can run scale if it helps you, its not bad to run
@echo egret I pulled once the pack at the top of the stairs, I dont know what pulled me out of wo because I didnt cast anything. I dont think I figured it out to this day.
I'll start running 272 scale soon aswell probably
i personally love scale to this day, get half my health shield is so clutch sometimes
Cuz I don't have any better trinket
Well I do not know if it helps - I press it on cooldown but I can't evaluate how great/avg/low benefits are
what should i upgrade with valor: codex or sack
Never codex
lol i want to use codex so bad
Upgrading codex does nothing except increase stam
The reflect is 10x of its tooltip
The only thing I can think of, is that aura the rightmost mob has, iirc it damages us
The tooltip is bugged
i see
interesting
Which just doesn't exist outside of mythic jailer
i took the spell reflect and made it triple the size whenever i shows up now
i think its worked, maybe
@echo egret I will have to test that as a rogue just to not screw up the run π
Make sure to let me know the result π
assuming I will get in a group as a rogue, yeah π damn Wo taking rogue's job
wo should get back from where it came
Bone smith sims higher
So yeah everyone plays it
Also doesnβt require channeling
what u mean
If you were to play Plague Deviser, you would want to channel fleshcraft for buffs and/or CC immunity. Otherwise, you just channel it for the shield/dr.
this is cowards way to never try
Who can lower your key
you can also raise it in ardenweald 
Marileth gets better conduit spread
You need to channel plague deviser for the mastery which could mess with chain pulls
So that usually sees more play
Bone smith just gogogo
Both are ok
Heirmir only Sims slightly better because of 3% crit, 3% mainstat and 3% more execute dmg
Marge is alot better defensively
And heirmir only gets 2 potency iirc
Marge gets 3
"don't get hit" yeah, but the slime maze?
Deactivate it
can u do it in wo?
Yes
That skip never goes right lmao
But its a good skip
Id imagine itd be more nice to wo skip from outside mechagon on the bone dudes
Then go and take dog pack and wo out on your way back
is emeni any good
no, marileth is a 40s 6% dps increase, however, ambulatory flesh, and sole slaugh are incredibly nice to haves, you may even jump while FC now,
attention all: I am a bonesmith man now. I suggest you all join me
try using sole slaugh (on chill content) emeni thing, bottom left, green skull, if u sit still for 5 seconds ur whole party gets a 20% MS for 10s, seems powerful.
wat that
sole slough is useless because of ba nner
You mean elegy?
No you donβt, you just cast it and thatβs it
You donβt need to stand there and fc
For 120 mastery, yea
Getting that mastery is a dps down
Doing it out of combat isnβt ofc
Thereβs obviously benefits to both
Point being, you donβt need to channel
Thereβs a point to be done regarding that and emeni, but Marileth doesnβt have that issue
I wish Venthyr were meta-friendly, I really want to turn into a statue and explode when I die
I guess I still can't keep 100% uptime on that damn banner anyway, maybe I should just give Venth a try.. haha
they keys i'm doing FC feels really really nice and cozy
Chudbolt living up to his name
some dude on area 52 wants to buy a tank for his 15 hoa lol
tell him you are too expensive
What about Ziedrate
i do need 15 hoa fort tho
HoA on fort is garbage
pugs are literally the stupidest people in the world
fucking asshole pulling everything for me
as mage
on gorechop wing he started the first pack before 3 people were there
Let them die
I fucking left
we did 4 packs
they pulled 3 of them before I was there
"wHy DiD I dIe?!"
ive had so many frost mages specifically run ahead and pull extra stuff
did bliz nerf Phial? or was it always this bad
nah, that dos 18 went as about expected, first boss, urh slamed something else dead, leaver, i couldn't have hoped for less
final boss DoS hahaha
the good news is i did 8 15+s this week and like 13 overall, lowest i think was a 12, timed a few of the 15+'s
ive seen same, they will sperg out about their icy veins if you question them
https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/uv2121/any_fire_mage_enjoyers/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 in the 17 NW i just did the "fire mage enjoyer meme", every time itervene is ready, i use it on the mage, EZ
the one in my group was an arcane mage, spamming AE i think,
i swear to god ive seen free revenge procs proc the tier set for stacks, has anyone else noticed that? maybe im on meth or something but it definitely looked like it in a raid just now
I'm just gonna say someone could do giga revenge dmg with sr in a key tonight, cuz you can pull big.
so... I pulled trash in ardenweald
and 2 dps and the healer went ahead
even thou they arrived AFTER I arrived and I was fighting shit
then left key cuz "I was afk"
so they ran past you ?
strange
It's rude to mock the mentally disabled
Looks about right but we also get to cheat
We donβt have to hold CDs

And the execute phase is rather long usually
hey if I'm doing shitter 15s for weekly completion and the people in my group are bad, should I play Kyr or NF
or is Necro still personally better or something
Why wouldnβt you just play necro
idk, wasn't sure if much of the value in necro was in buffing the allies
Itβs more damage anyways assuming youβre playing right
I am enjoying the 30k executes though
No
kk I'll stay Necro then, thanks
Necros value is in the ridiculous rage gen, sturdiness and personal damage
if anything Kyrian/NF might be more annoying to play in lows keys due to sanguine
Bron is a troll this week
rgr
Or run seismic if you wanna do stupid amounts of damage
I cannot imagine anything worse than spear of bastion being one of your main attacks this week
a reverse gorefiend grasp on week were u have to pull them out or they all heal
Ask the Chinese mdi teams who brought prot how good it was on sanguine
is it ok to run reprisal on jailer? or would teh wall be better?
I'm curious what the next fortified week will look like
shoulda ran more keys this week and better
storming/bursting according to my M+ tab in game is the next fort week
Storming is annoying in Sanguine Depths, but otherwise it's completely ignorable
If I'm at a point where I get outburst, SS is available, but my rage would overcap from it and im capped on IP do I just hit IP anyway and then SS?
actually felt solid on my couple runs for vault filling tonight
got banner to stay up 80% of the two fifteens i ran
which is an improvement
good evening - I reengaged with my prot warr again. Is reprisal on feet right? Where does unity go and is haste/vers best to have on both? I will mainly tank M+ this and next season
nvm - just saw it in the pins. Reprisal on feet and Unity on head
Dont mind about overcaping, just spam IP
Makes sense -- thanks! @toxic pewter @timber slate

I actually find it easier to keep the banner going for longer in higher keys, because stuff doesn't die so fast and you have longer fights with more consistent Rage generation as a result.
In general, even keeping track of IP as a Necro Prot isn't even worthwhile; you're going to be hitting the button so many times just for dumping rage to fuel both Outburst and Banner uptime that you're generally going to constantly overwrite full or nearly full IPs, and it'll just happen to be up almost all the time
Same but I've been struggling to get it above 60% even in high keys
Hi, was dps (Arms) and now I am 30 want to try to tank and learn and see if i like it. Was wondering why on this data it shows Prot tanks as the lowest is it cause is not ez or maybe the sustain isnt so much? thanks
Hella high skill ceiling and no easy mode gameplay
I am assuming you talking about the first con in this guide
Protection Warrior can be deeply deeply unforgiving in keys, and not always because of your own gameplay, although your average DPS monkeybrain won't get it. DPS that aren't correctly coordinating kicks can get you chunked because we are the most vulnerable tank to spike magic damage
anyone run phial and sack at same time? Is it too greedy?
wow thats a lot to take. Wonder if Monk tank is in the same boat as it is the second lowest
I really hope they solve the 4th point on the weaknesses by making Dragon Charge usable in PvE (Dragon themed expansion, surely we can have Dragon Charge?) and carrying over the Shrieking Flagon anima power from Torghast into the new talent trees.
do you know if Monk is more forgiving?
No idea, I don't play Monk any more and when I did I played Mistweaver
got it thanks
monk is pretty simple
like level 30?
yes
main mitigation is up 100% of the time if your clicking buttons, and rest is pretty simple
i dunno, prot war with anger management and necro just doesn't feel great for me
which one is main?
stagger
it requires so much higher skill to maintain good uptime of shield block but that is like pretty much base-line for all other tanks with minimal effort lol
thast monk or warrior?
monk
ahh so you saying monk is a bit easier than prot?
yes, though i think some of that is how much stronger brews tier is
nice thanks for the info
think prots fun tho
because shield block is the only mitigation that does anything
tanking at sub 60 is a very different experience from end game tanking
every other tank's mitigation is dogshit, they just have other tools that arent 100% uptime to make it up
@modern brook welcome back
ok was wondering thats all, as i want to try tanking
yeah go for it
I think you get avatar at like 32 or something
and at that point you have basically all the tools
but id give it another go at 60 amd see of i sto;; emkpy ot
One day I'll do big dps 

yeah i have a monk at 18 will try her as well to see which one i like
just keep in mind that classes tend to be missing key aspects of their kit during the leveling process
monk just feels good to play imo
Necro feels great when ur dps is good. Huge pulls that get nuked is what I didnβt see playing Necro until it was the norm (good pugs) and then it all clicked. My banner up time was doubled (non-boss) and was ++ on runs I just made it through. Have faith in necrolord-this is the way.
i played it a good deal, banner uptime is ok... but i think that long cd just feels worse
and also going AM to maximize 4 set makes sense, but... just feels so much worse than HR
HR synergizes with reprisal better than AM synergizes with 4 piece lol
Reprisal needs movement. I feel better with the mobility (forces me to keep intervene/leap on cooldown) coupled with AM and banner. But again, since I pug a lot, when I get a giga-chad group itβs so much dam fun. Like had a three fury and a pally heals and it was pretty intense, even with sanguine it was quick.
*results may vary
@modern brook@modern brook@modern brook@modern brook@modern brook@modern brook
I wouldn't say reprisal and hr synergies more than rep and am
Ergod
ππππππ

So Iβm still new to Protection warrior, (prot pala/BDK main) and the play style with reprisal feels very clunky and hard to play around. The first charge into combat is easy of course, and I can intervene a close melee or w/e to proc Lego, but outside of that am I supposed to HL out and charge back in?
^
Run and charge a ranged or caster mob. Or if you're a chad, just charge into the next pull. 
If you're absolutely sol you can Shockwave->leap
How much of a downgrade is the next legendary in comparison to Reprisal?
Sizable in m+
fucking huge in m+ yea
the wall is fine in raid but even then reprisal is still just better
Like you get more out of that initial charge and just using intervene on cd
Than you would the wall over the course of the key
I was thinking of the other Lego (seismic) - I saw one of the guys talking about it earlier
seismic fuck good
Iβm assuming itβs just a massive defensive loss though
ye
Seismic owns
So is necro really where itβs at this patch for m+? Every guide I read said kyrian or nf
yeah necro is nutty
@potent anvil care to elaborate any on how to play with the seismic Lego? Or should I just try and find logs of warriors who run it and see what they are doing?

I just canβt see myself enjoying the reprisal play style.
If deswind doesn't get back to you
Nothing really changes
You just have way bigger gaps in your shield block windows
And in turn have meatier revenj
Tbh, prot without reprisal in progression keys is lacking
The legendary is sucha big bandaid on so many things the spec struggles with
Rage economy, block uptime, cds etc
Typing is very hard btw
I honestly probably wonβt push much further than 3.1 or 3.2k io, I guess I just need to keep feeling it out in lower keys until I get used to running away and spamming it
Thanks for the inputs and feedback!
GL!
If you try it and learn it early then it has a fantastic playstyle. It's a super rewarding spec for playing well. It's the only spec I really ever want to play in all honesty.
There are a number of weak auras to help with intervene. Just set focus on a melee and hit it on CD. Charging takes a bit more work but the more you play the more you'll notice opportunities to do it
Uh yeah, not much changes. You can technically prio revenge over shield slam for more aoe but that's about it.
Your damage breakdown will be similar to like this depending on how far you want to push your damage over being defensive.
Same level key, same pulls but with reprisal
If your not already solid defensively seismic will pu ish you
Thanks for that @potent anvil, I think it will come down to forcing myself to learn reprisal play first, and getting used to pressing IP and SB and feeling it out. Then when Iβm running lower 20s with a trusted healer feeling out the Seismic lego. Going from BDK/Prot Paladin main to trying out warrior is a bit different in reliance on healers.
In all honesty warrior technically requires less EHRPS
The difference is we don't heal as much on our own
A well played warrior will feel really tanky. My playstyle is full on degenerate dps mode, but if I'm playing proper defensively then the healer won't have much to do unless your overzealous with your pull.
Kicks being missed is the only time I ever feel like I'm in danger and I'm not nearly as solid as Deswind
Yeah, Iβm already digging into the spell reflect spreadsheet in the pins to figure out how to maximize SR spell.
There's a good weakaura that'll often tell you if you're targeted by something that can be reflected
Let me see if I can find it
Do you sometimes intentionally let spells go through to reflect them?
Tells you when to reflect in SL dungeons. Triggers only when a spell is targeting you. Reflect guide: https://tinyurl.
The big spell reflects to remember are boss abilities. As those often mean you can ignore something entirely.
In pugs, I go based on this timer, basically reflect last second. In groups, I'll tell people to let spells go
DoS Soulcrusher is a great example
Sound advice. Thanks again and GL in vaults tomorrow.

Vault of pure dissapointment.
my most satisfying key ive done i tanked a ToP last week all pugs and was the least healed target.... felt great for me π
anyone know what cuases this and how i can make this stop spamming my chat?
dont think its bagsack
Have we heard anything about tier acquisition next season?
they said catalyst will still exist
so we probably just slap a high ilvl gear into catalyst and call it a day
anyone can tell the impact of seismic reverberation legendary?
hmmm ok
Just 200-300 more Io to be top 20, I'll hang my towel then

have fun
is it worth swapping from Kyrian to Necrolord if playing almost only in pug?
And is it worth switching if got only 2/4 tier set bonuses?
yes
Thanks, played kyrian the whole exp and got tired, wanted to try something new (hopefully more exciting)
yogi 3 278s
watch it all be crit and mastery ahit
shield plzzzz or trinket, I get +17 mists axe last night
yeah is between that and Monk Brewmaster and demon hunter to learn tanking and try it out
lol
The class shouldnt exist imo
They dont even fit in the game
Is it harder to play, in Therms if SB Uptime, when I don't play Reprisal and equip Seismic?
Just looking for max DMG / Fun for my Warri Twink.
well yeah obviously
SB uptime will be harder if you unequip the legendary that gives you SB uptime
Do we play Bolster Talent then?
If you're going for max dmg, why would you play anything other than AM
You always play AM
Okay. Thx
then try seismic
I like Pain.
Seriously, I will learn it pretty Quickly. Since I have Time. Iam not getting 60 and go 18s and 20s
Just want maximum DMG. π
prot is the hardest tank in the game so π€·ββοΈ whatever you say i guess
it's fine
Seismic is fine to play, but you gotta play around it and pull more shit to get any worthwhile effect out of it
you have to pull more while also being squishier and play your base rotation much better to not drop banner so
it's a lot more involved than just "me equip seismic do more dps now :)"
I will craft both and try it.
I appreciate your Infos!
hey guys which weapon enchant do you use? lightless or celestial?
thats why u play with a premade healer π
Celestial
lightless garbage now
Why?
cause its only ever useful in aoe but then at the same time celestial is always useful cause it just provides u with extra mainstat
Plus we revenge so much the extra main stat is very strong
along with everything esle
I see
as long as i dont see
, chest, legs, ..ehh.. kinda cloak, or some other BS in box we good!
what do if if shows blade kit, stoneheart and TZ codex
Sockets
Socket
Was moreso that you ate the bomb
big melees too
and then ate the dirt
alot of things went wrong it seems, already had my 8/8 when i went for this one and i told em "no worries if it goes to shit"
this happened and then someone left
Well at least you werent worried
shit going down is inevitable in keys, just gotta work at getting better/doing best we can.
I hate Urh. Some fights (Last boss PF, Mana storms DoS) I can't always position to move out of slam and end up just pressing Shield Wall and eatting it.
its not super consequential, but i was also pulling slightly smaller than the wo route on weekly routes io site
Take Wo and skip straight to hakkar
like, 7 mobs after wo tunnel in AW section of DOS, cuz its +18 which i hadn't timed one of yet. instead of the recommended 11-ish
Love this route. Then if in a PUG I can do skips in Mana Storms, I don't have to worry about count when I go to Arden.
I thought you just kill the mob right outside the door
Psure you just clear the final trash of that hallway and it opens
99.5% sure on that, could be all trash there and then that final pack and THEN it opens but not 100% sure
Oh π€
Only final pack is needed
like everytime i've done DOS we just hold W that and kill it all
why would you skip hakkar trash though, its so easy to kill and even comes with quasi LOS pillars both sides not far apart, lots of them, usually try to pull them to the jar
Pull every pack in the hallway?
Lust timings
Dude is asking for a suicide xD
that trash is very dead simple to me, lol, one guy does a reflect thingy another does cleave, one does an interupt heal, its a do nothing % for free
You still kill the Hakkar trash, you just do it on the way back
14.5k overall
The main reason for the skip, as I say, is the timing on Lust; you skip there and use your first Lust early
TBH it's a better Route on Tyr weeks than on Fort
i want to make sure of this, because im sure it was part of it, dunno the name of the uh... lift pads? dealer drops before she does the bombs
On Fort you lust the first platform and go Ardenweald
same for tyr
Lusting on trash is also useless, they die before lust runs out
hi
so, my question is basically, i stood in that, and it shot me in the air because i wasn't paying attention, and i know that i can move out of them early, my assumption is it drops 5, 1 for each player and when you touch 1, 1 goes away
lust for first platform then go arden
who play warcraft 3 ?
your lust is back when you pull xy
i mean if that one death is the tank getting hit by a stun and then everyone else dies After you used a wo skip
then yeah leaving is pretty reasonable
i'd probably leave
but if you go hakkar
and i am, therefore, inting, by not early stepping out of the lifter pads
you have to kill 2 packs
correct?
prot warrior literally doesn't do anything on the dealer fight
holding lust for first 4mins O_O
you can just spell reflect the explosion
just don't get hit by the shit on the ground
and it's literally 0 mechanics fight
is the way i described it correct
no because i don't understand what you said
Its right
Also tanks dont even have to use the teleports
i'm telling you everything you need to know about the fight
that she/he drops 5 and if 3 people use them to early, unwisely, GG?
okay, so i am then inting if i do not move out, i'd say cuz that means dps+ healer don't have back up one to go on, puts everyone in awkward sitaution, boss has always given me trouble, or dies in 13 seconds
Just dont step on it and move away from beams
yes standing in the bad thing is bad
The boss does tickle damage
if that's what you wanted to know
you don't need multiple reasons not to stand in the bad thing
it already knocks you into the sky
thats why i died then, struggling to get on the boss and relic, stand in lifter, get confused, stand in urh, bomb, boom dead, depleto
Cant make the spell reflect WA work, anyone knows if i need something else?
Shouldnt need any
it doesn't appear until an actual spell is cast at you, thats in the WA
Dealer will always shoot one frontal beam towards you, and always put portals where people stand. So make sure you move the boss away once portals come
And dont face boss towards everyone else
"Doesn't work" is extremely vague as well, as someone who has done tons of free IT support
Theres no bar telling me the cast, even when im seeing i'm the Target. I thought maybe some graphic cfg needs to be activated
Running with int Gpu on low graph for a couple weeis
Weeks
the one i am using is called "Spell Reflect Essentials" hang on
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
Hey folks, how is the sanguine depths trinket for m+? Any good or just plain bad? Trinket that has some kind of aoe
which one
Doesnt make u slow?
i did some testing on it in 9.0
Decanter: decent
Other one: vendor trash
you can charge, or intervene, while its active, and you can leap, but you cant do any action (avatar) or item (potion) that would remove the speed loss, MS buffs still kick in but you are still slowed to hell.
the other portion (heal over time i believe) is directly bound to the slow
and if you remove one, you remove the other, it would be good in niche scenarios where you are expected to do literal nothing but block attacks and sit there attacking
@hazy edge yea its the decanters one
Decanter is decent, not insane, but not bad.
Cool, does it proc often?
brooo
