still trying to get it down more but im below 1k wasted rage

#

last stand outburst shieldslams are stupid amounts of rage

chrome falcon
#

definitely looks better mate

vernal vale
#

been working hard to get my dungeon runs better and better sad i still wasted outburst on 17 thunderclaps

strong forum
#

Cuz use a bit more button presses

#

And you don't want to absolutely avoid using outburst on TC

#

1-3/4 ratio is good

vernal vale
#

Good to know thanks @strong forum

strong forum
#

Currently youre underusing TC and overusing revenge

#

You're also underusing shieldslam because of overusing revenge

#

Which leads to less rage generated and thus less everything

urban portal
#

we decided that using outburst on TC is inevitable right

#

and wasting globals is worse off

strong forum
#

This from my mists a few weeks ago

#

I did ~13k dps that run

vernal vale
strong forum
#

So ideally your casts should somewhat look closer to mine as a starting point

#

Mine are obv not perfect either

vernal vale
#

I'm underusing avatar too it looks like. Though that I'm sure comes from my rage gen/usage slowing down my ignore pain

strong forum
#

Yes

Hey, random question about something I haven't been able to figure out...

Conqueror's Banner.. Clearly there's a mechanic where you extend the active duration. What triggers it exactly? It feels like it's rage expenditure, but then again, I can keep 100% uptime once Execute phase happens vs not being able to last more than 45-60 seconds otherwise.

strong forum
#

In this 17min run I generated 16.5k rage

#

In your 25min run you only generated 19k

strong forum
#

It's your glory legendary

#

Spending 10 rage extends banner by 0.5sec

With proper play you can have 100% uptime on banner

He doesn't have to heal but has to do explosive!

#

Very hard job!

#

:kappa:

vernal vale
#

Yeah, explosive bolstering means i couldn't chain pull where i wanted to as much to get % at the end

snow blaze
#

Another question, haha

When should I tier-set tclap? How many adds justifies a tclap vs a good ol slam

median tulip
#

The key point of Outburst procs is the Rage generation, not the damage

sick sentinel
#

how much rep is LFR

#

i need 6 hundred some

snow blaze
#

the 200% is also about the rage, not just the dmg?

strong forum
#

Yes

snow blaze
#

That makes sense, but never thought of it that way, okok, very cool

vernal vale
strong forum
#

Lfr is basically you soloing everything

#

With a bit of chance that some people deal dmg

sick sentinel
#

im going as fury dps lol

median tulip
#

LFR is not so bad for us, because at least we know we have one competent tank.

strong forum
#

This

median tulip
#

Only Skolex can actually kill you with tank mechanics

strong forum
#

Nah

#

Just spell reflect

#

On lfr and normal you reflect it

snow blaze
#

Replied to wrong person.. @sick sentinel ^

median tulip
#

You also get rep for each of the minibosses

strong forum
#

Hmmm maybe I should do lfr then

#

Cuz im this close to revered

#

And finally able to recraft unity

snow blaze
#

You get the rep once across all difficulties

Ya I don't raid

ahhh xD

Pretty pointless

sick sentinel
#

okay its worth it now

drifting fable

its 50 per boss/miniboss and 250 for jailer each week

mighty valley
#

Looks like the majority of prot warriors out there are still Kyrian

#

I feel bad for them, they're gonna miss out

#

Get the word out before 10.0

vernal vale
#

no idea why

#

necro just feels better

jagged pier
#

honestly feels better if your bad

#

because it doesnt matter as much

vernal vale
#

no one saw my mistype

jagged pier
#

i mean might be a mis type

#

but people still say it

#

and its basically because they arent good enough to play necro

#

its literally as simple as that

vernal vale
#

i like necro playstyle

#

super fun, slaps super hard, and super rewarding

mighty valley
#

Necro is so fun and there's no way anything like it survives past the expac imo

what's the best timing to kill adds in hakkar? right after second tank buster or slightly before?

#

Hi guys, I have an unusual race for my warrior: Nightborne. But I was wondering if it wasn't a good class for prot warr due to the AoE snare and the bit of Arcane dmg resistance?

zenith vale
#

Thx

chrome falcon
#

race literally irrelevant

mighty valley
#

All races are fine, it's a marginal difference

#

I'm nightborne

mighty valley
#

looks cool

vernal vale
#

I play night elf because I've been one forever

boreal dew
#

yeah I know that races are a marginal diff, but some stuff makes sense like the blood elf dispell

mighty valley
#

I don't find myself using the aoe slow often

#

But it's not nothing

cinder storm
#

your dps/healer should worry about that

boreal dew
#

I see

mighty valley
#

Also personal mailbox is great

boreal dew
#

true, I wish I had a long boy, but true

vernal vale
#

Be an engineer for mailbox, or get a katy stampwhistle

#

Or both

mighty valley
#

or be a hot elf and get it for free

vernal vale
#

I play a night elf I'm the origional hot elf lol

boreal dew
#

or be the game's master race; goblin and always have your bank on you 🙂

vernal vale

engineers get a bank with jeeves lol

engineers get a mailbox, a bank, a bloodlust, a combat rez, rocketboots, ... nerf engineer pls

vernal vale
#

dont forget a glider for slowfall

mighty valley
#

i wonder if professions rework will balance out the gameplay utility stuff a little

#

i cba levelling engineering (and i'm a nerd who thinks things like "it doesn't fit my character") but they do get all the helpful stuff

vernal vale
#

Engineers have always been the utility profession but expensive to level and very rarely can make money from.

#

Last time I made good gold as an engineer was when we could make bullets/arrows.

mighty valley
#

i'm also too lazy to make money from any professions

sick sentinel
#

where should i do revered unity

lofty widget
#

chest

sick sentinel
#

so just whatever gives most stats

lofty widget
#

pretty much

chrome falcon
#

helmet is optimal if you plan on killing jailer mythic! 🙂

sick sentinel
#

I know you guys tell me its wrong, but i feel like if i want to craft it over a tier piece should be over gloves with no haste, then i keep my 4/4, ditch lowest ilvl piece, got a 262 belt with bad stats, could just do belt 291 unity

chrome falcon
#

well

#

you are correct

#

we are going to tell you it's wrong

#

because it's wrong

robust rover
#

Just to be sure, Undulating Maneuvers provides no real defensive value. It is taken for the extra finesse conduit?

urban portal
#

Fixing bad stats is temporary

#

You are keeping unity for a long time

urban portal
#

You can go for endurance conduit also

robust rover
urban portal
#

In fact I’m pretty sure people take triple defensive conduit now

sick sentinel
#

hmm gotta decide how i wanna do this, i'd be happy just to recraft it as belt, don't change nothin

uncut notch
#

Anyone got any good bis lists?

sick sentinel
#

was like, 5-7 more str and 11-13 more stam, not counting armor, on hands vs chest, didn't look at belt.
i do know that chest and helm has more armor points. more points overall

#

belt is 262 versa mastery valor 9/12 if i change slots

uncut notch
#

Is it worth chasing BIS gear in dungeons if i can only get it to 272 vs vault 278?

#

Like assume i have a 278 in slot

#

Is it worth farming a haste verse weapon vs haste crit or whatever

#

if its going to be 6 ilvl less

sick sentinel
#

well weapon is special because weapon gives you damage, so you can't upgrade to a lower ilvl on that

#

same with shield, doesn't matter stats, always highest ilvl

strong forum
#

If you wanna commit to it, sure

#

But if you're not doing big dick keys, it's incredibly unlikely to have any impact

uncut notch
#

so not really HUGE keys

strong forum
#

Na not worth

#

And dropping ilvl isn't worth

sick sentinel
#

i wouldn't because he loses damage and crit is just as important to use for parry and damage

strong forum
#

Unless it's literally for haste/vers leech on say wrists, cloak and stuff like that

uncut notch
sick sentinel
#

like you go down 100 dmg equipping lower weapon compared to 25 when u get new gloves

uncut notch
#

Dunno what to do with it outside of just like

#

roll the vault

#

Ignore the no enchant on chest, i literally JUST made it

strong forum
#

You could farm for leech roll on neck, ring belt and shield

#

But other than that

#

Not rly anything to get

#

You could farm a soleahs aswell

uncut notch
#

Its like what, 100 extra haste

strong forum
#

And mainstat

#

Sack doesn't have mainstat

uncut notch
#

uwot

#

oh nice

#

And do we farm haste with it or go hunting for verse

strong forum
#

The best "tank" combo from current patch is soleah + scale

uncut notch
#

32.7 and 22/11.5

strong forum
#

Whatever you want tbh

#

Vers is more dmg

#

Haste is more rage

uncut notch
#

I wanna use the first sigil but the cdddddddddddddd

#

Bumps me to like 52% verse

strong forum
#

For m+ not good as tank, for raid very good

uncut notch

just wished it lasted longer

BIS gear isn’t really a thing unless you’re going for 285 or talking about trinkets. Just sim your stat weight and your gear and see the best outcome

pallid quiver
#

One of my friends saw me as a Prot Warrior like a week ago, saw I was tanking, saw we were planning to do a +15 Plaguefall with me at like, 248 ilvl or something, and he was just like, "well we're all gonna die"

There're literally pwars out there doing 20s with 240 ilvl

i came back in the middle of this season and am suffering from a 223 shield, which was part of the concern

#

But like, I haven't had any major concerns about my survival other than dumbshit acts, so

sick sentinel
#

i got 2, 242 shields from s2 m+ but one is haste crit, the other is mastery haste, so they are both amazing

chrome falcon
sick sentinel
#

so, chest or helmet absolutely for new unity? or will it really make a huge difference... like if its a more than 2% dps loss i'd say yes

lavish oracle
#

My understanding of Prot Wars problems this season was that it was purely a damage thing

pallid quiver
#

Fighting games aren't that popular, so a few crazy people, especially strong players, influence a lot of opinion

lavish oracle
#

Like our damage just didnt benefit as greatly from set + double leggo so high end keys just don't run warrior

lofty widget
#

our dmg is fine, i avg around 13-14k depending on the dungeon

sick sentinel
#

gunna cost me whole bunch of gold for this new legendary chest

#

replacin 275 with 291,

pallid quiver
#

all im gonna say is that we can fix our damage woes by giving us back vengeance. it'll be fine, i swear, and we 100% need it

quaint glade
sick sentinel
#

and also what do i do with the old unity belt that is given to me, assuming can't vendor or torgy DE

median tulip
#

No, you just get rid once you have a 291

sick sentinel
#

99.999999 repeating ofc % sure this is right, just double checking though

median tulip
#

Chest? o_O

#

I mean if you have tier in other slots it's fine I guess

sick sentinel
#

pretty sure someone said chest due to stat budget, i won't be doing mythic jailer most likely

lofty widget
#

best slots for unity are helmet if you can get 285 pieces from raid, and chest if you cant due to the stat budget

median tulip
#

If you're not Mythic Raiding, it doesn't really matter which of Chest, Head or Legs you put it on I guess

sick sentinel
#

i'll do it on chest since it gives the biggest number go up

median tulip
#

I suppose the Tier chest gives the least Haste of the 3, so you get the biggest upgrade from doing that

#

Mine is on Head, and TBH I'm thinking of remaking it as Haste/Crit instead of Haste/Vers

sick sentinel
#

i still like the idea of replacing gloves to get 4/4 and haste in all slots, could do gloves unity haste crit, they are only 15k on AH

median tulip
#

I have like 5 versions of Unity already

This is my itemisation

I know ilvl is good but I prefer haste vers

DPS is irrelevant too, as it compares your DPS among all keys level

This is like raid parse

median tulip

On Halondrus you just tank swap after every beam

That's literally the whole fight; you take one beam, other tank takes the next. GG

sick sentinel

we one shot everything outside of one the start of one of the bosses a bunch of random dps died to not sure

That LFR for you

#

Bunch of people just dying in p1

And just bleed players continously

I had an LFR run wipe to Jailer because over half of the DPS died to the AoE by not hiding

sick sentinel
#

is the hold W strategy for pf to kill the big add while i move boss away and then some range gets the small adds, or that we attempt to banish and chain cc big add and kill small adds

#

the most common method players will be expecting i guess

cinder storm
#

You never want to, or should need to, kill big add

#

Just rotate ccs

sick sentinel
#

i told them i would use my ghost busters trap, and they still did some kind of CC on it so trap despawned.

cinder storm
#

Normally dps know what to do, they wouldn't expect tank to do it or just react out of habit

sick sentinel
#

had 4 clothies, mage and 2 priests and a lock, and nobody killed the small adds or dealt with them frost mage btw go figure

cinder storm
#

Did you tell them beforehand?

sick sentinel
#

you'd figure that'd be the BEST class for that strategy, .. aoe slows

#

i said that i would use the trap and i linked it

cinder storm

A priest can only fear big add, next time have a hunter/rogue in that key

thorny sierra
#

is it normal that your dps is lower when in necrolord than in kyrian?

sick sentinel
#

kyrian has better dps because of mik tree

cinder storm
#

You just have to play better, kyrian is more burst but Necro is better

mik makes spear reset faster which combines with urh

thus, number go up, good for keys and multi target.

necrolord multiplies your dps because of the stats

so basically

if you play optimally necro is better

toxic pewter

necrlord is mroe consistent, kyrian more bursty

necro overall more dps if played correctly

and more survivability too

#

WTF AT those windwalker buffs jfc

#

they already do insane aoe

chrome falcon
#

try playing WW in raid

#

they're actually like

#

maybe 2 or 3k ahead of tanks on ST fights

sick sentinel
#

100k prot warrior executes incoming

toxic pewter
waxen orbit
#

Genuinely this is hella unneeded buff for us but I’ll take it

toxic pewter
#

i guess they sort of did other than fist of fury

chrome falcon
#

no offence but

#

uh

#

can you read

#

because... that's what they did

#

lmao

toxic pewter
#

fist of fury got buff

#

i can read

#

that is aoe ability

chrome falcon
#

ok

#

go read

#

the whole change

toxic pewter
#

Do not patronize me sir

chrome falcon
#

ALL the words

#

not just some of them

toxic pewter
#

i do not speak to you in that tone of voice

chrome falcon
#

i'm going to patronize you even harder after you said that

waxen orbit
#

Listen, both of your shields are very large, alright?

chrome falcon
#

Fists of Fury damage to primary target increased by 20%

toxic pewter

You are a true bully

oh i see it LOL

toxic pewter
#

i did misread apologies

#

i am in wrong here

waxen orbit
#

/pat

#

Still no fury single target buffs

#

#fury probably malding right now

ocean yoke
#

prot new top warrior single target

waxen orbit
#

Lemme check

chrome falcon
#

i'm convinced

#

we have a prot warrior brother in the balance team

#

and he snuck that cheeky lil buff in there

#

pure finessed it

shut summit
ocean yoke
#

do it our hidden comrade, AM baseline

#

i dare you

chrome falcon
#

goddamn i want to hit a 100k execute

#

during LoD swarm phase

#

it should be possible

urban portal
#

Need to stack vers mastery

chrome falcon
#

i just need a first sigil

#

i'm already hitting 39-40k absolute max

#

without sigil

#

add sigil then 15%

ocean yoke
#

execute buff means jam time

chrome falcon
#

i think 50k is doable

urban portal
#

If you get another banner it’s def doable

chrome falcon
#

sigil is like 30% more dam

#

so if you're already high 30s without it

#

it's 100% doable

waxen orbit
#

Lmao I can’t wait for prot to unironically pass fury on longer ST fights

chrome falcon
#

if you asked me to come up with a list of 20 changes they could make to prot

#

i think execute damage buff would be the bottom

#

it might not even be on there

sick sentinel
#

Execute and Condemn + 15%. This affects PWar's.

waxen orbit
#

Oh it’s the absolute fucking bottom of my list

chrome falcon
#

BUT

#

it's the top of the list of what i want

#

lemme crank some fuckin crits

waxen orbit
#

Bro what I want is a fucking reason to hit thunder clap again

#

Other than a rotation filler every now and then when I’m at 0 rage

ocean yoke
#

i am a simple man if big number go i like

chrome falcon
#

yeah preach

waxen orbit
#

Or hear me out

#

Add a talent that makes it so TC does an AA type stun for 0.5 seconds

#

(Next expac)

chrome falcon
#

boy howdy that would not be balanced

sick sentinel
#

dunno aa

#

auto attack?

waxen orbit
ocean yoke
#

yolo make it empower next shield slam for a bit of extra aoe

sick sentinel
#

if u mean like MK ability to RNG stun target on RNG Auto Attack's for prot.... thats.. it really fits the theme, but its much to overpowerd

chrome falcon
#

ancient aftershock

#

i mean Show of Force should just be the other way around

sick sentinel
#

ahh, no, my NF is still like, 70 lol

waxen orbit
toxic pewter
#

ashen juggernaut used 100% of the time for sure now

waxen orbit
#

Always has been

toxic pewter
#

yes generally but show of force some people use

chrome falcon
#

you could play sof

#

it was about the same

#

but AJ probably stonks now

sweet summit
#

show of force should've been iron maiden copium

toxic pewter
#

anyone do quick math is venthyr actually viable now or no

sweet summit
#

no

chrome falcon
#

no

toxic pewter
#

ok

waxen orbit
agile pumice
chrome falcon
#

necrolord is actually

#

even MORE better now

toxic pewter
#

ya true

sweet summit
#

revenge has a x% chance to reset the CD of SB

toxic pewter
#

we got so much rage for execute

sick sentinel
#

i mean, 15% is pretty nice, could be fun on raid boss

#

i dunno what the ultimate execute build looks like, but im sure it could pump on some mythic raid boss

toxic pewter
#

devestate is 30% to reset SB, but devestator (auto attacks basically) is 20% right? can anyone confirm that

sweet summit
#

yea

toxic pewter
#

Ok

sweet summit
#

that sounds right

chrome falcon
#

dude i'm now slightly less scared of jailer

sick sentinel
#

"u have to wait for the warrior to get 3 sunders before you can attack boss safely without getting aggro"

chrome falcon
#

i'm gonna execute that dude so good

sweet summit
#

jailer should be pretty chill now

#

probably still fucks

#

but that's besides the point

chrome falcon
#

he doesn't even heal now so

shut summit
#

mostly chill

chrome falcon
#

the execute train never needs to stop

shut summit
#

just gotta be careful about rippin threat even moreso now xd

waxen orbit
chrome falcon
#

World Crusher produces 2 less Bloods of Azeroth on Mythic difficulty.
World Shatterer produces 1 less Blood of Azeroth on Mythic difficulty.

#

i assume that like

waxen orbit
chrome falcon
#

he's also gonna do less damage to azeroth?

waxen orbit
#

Yea

sweet summit
#

isn't that the p2 soak swirly things

sick sentinel
chrome falcon
#

it's the shit you stand in to heal erga

sweet summit
#

oh nvm

chrome falcon
#

so if he makes less of it

sweet summit
#

yea

chrome falcon
#

you can't heal her enough lmao

sick sentinel
#

logitech g502 cheapest/best one with this weel

sweet summit
#

wait no

sick sentinel
#

bind to execute

sweet summit
#

my damage buff

#

why

waxen orbit
#

Wait did they remove the damage buff?

#

OH

#

NVM

chrome falcon
#

well there are fewer puddles

waxen orbit
#

It clicked

#

Nvm

chrome falcon
#

so less damage buff

waxen orbit
#

Yeah

sweet summit
#

less bloods = less damage buff

chrome falcon
#

but also you don't need it because health nerf

sweet summit
#

but number smaller

waxen orbit
#

Smaller number = smaller dopamine

sweet summit
#

:(

chrome falcon
#

smaller jailer pull count = smaller cortisol

#

i literally did top dps in anduin p3

#

BEFORE this buff

sweet summit
chrome falcon
#

what're you looking at to see that

sweet summit
sweet summit
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

paladin has soul damage

#

in p3

chrome falcon
#

oh

#

jailer weapon dot

#

i guess

#

no idea

#

it wasn't even a good p3 i didn't have banner for like 70% of it

#

and we still do more dps than the top parsing arms warrior during p3

ocean yoke
#

dont worry they just got huge execute buff surely thatll mean they are at least the second best warrior spec in execute right??

urban portal
#

Arms has the worst execute out of the 3

#

Before this buff arms only gained 8% dps in execute

mighty valley
#

uhhhhhhhh we're also getting the execute buff? sweet

sick sentinel
#

how much is the heal on PF boss 1 if small adds hit him and big

urban portal
#

i think he heals for 200% of the remaining hp on the add or somehting

chrome falcon
#

depends how much hp they have when they reach

sick sentinel
#

so, send a frost mage at them pmuch

urban portal
#

well

#

freeze the big

#

kill the small

#

hope the boss is dead before big is free

sick sentinel
#

the warlock was complaining that "i can't banish 2 at once"

crude notch
#

Hello how big of a buff is this to prot warriors

#

The bears are malding

sick sentinel
#

nobody killing/ccing smalls

sweet summit
#

it's uhhh

#

insane?

chrome falcon
#

it's insane in terms of

sweet summit
#

maybe best execute spec in the game now

chrome falcon
#

making no sense

sweet summit
#

idk

chrome falcon
#

and being 100% unrequired

#

but it doesn't make us much better

#

but yes we're definitely the best execute class now

sick sentinel
#

after i get KSM whenever 9.2.5 comes around im guna fuck around with venthyr prot

shut summit
#

now we just gotta make sure to get pi in execute and we can blame our DPS on only getting pi

#

thats the meta right

shell shale
#

lmaoo

sweet summit
#

so true

chrome falcon
#

i mean we unironically deserve PIs in execute now

#

it was marginal before

#

but now i'm not giving my fucking priests a choice

#

it's happening

sick sentinel
#

condemn DOES give some kind of bubble DR thingy iirc

ocean yoke
#

condemned to do less damage

sick sentinel
#

condemned to deleted adds

crude notch
#

that's not a number

sick sentinel
#

charge mob, 75k execute, mob dies, EZ

chrome falcon
#

smaller than a banner execute

sick sentinel
#

i can't recall biggest execute i've done besides some random like 50 some k in ZM

urban portal
urban portal
#

its less tooltip dmage but its magic so it turns out to be the same

chrome falcon
#

this dude has rank 1 boss damage on anduin

#

18k dps in p3

#

and that's getting a fucking buff

urban portal
#

makes sense

sick sentinel
#

so, average pug for 15 pf shouldn't kill the first boss slime?

urban portal
#

if we do some napkin math he'll be south of 20k

sick sentinel
#

i feel like thats the play, kill the slime and lust

urban portal
#

like the boss add slime

#

or the necro buff slime

chrome falcon
#

execute alone did 10.5k dps for him

toxic pewter
#

can anyone give a rough estimate how much dps increase is the execute buff gonna give us if u had to say

chrome falcon
#

no

#

it's impossible to say

sick sentinel
#

big ass slime, i'll have the range go on the smalls or healr

urban portal
#

depends on the fight

#

its less buff in aoe

chrome falcon
#

are you talking about a raid boss with a 1 minute long execute phase

toxic pewter
#

patchwerk

#

sure

urban portal
#

why not just wait on tuesday

#

to sim it

chrome falcon
#

are you talking about a m+ pack where you're pressing execute literally twice

#

i dunno go look at a log, find how much damage execute did, add 15%

urban portal
#

or just sim your char and add 15%

#

that works too

toxic pewter
#

me go sim

#

me go sim char now

urban portal
#

sim venth too

toxic pewter
#

sir yes sir

sick sentinel
#

am i meant to tank him in the center of room or edge, group seemed to take a lot of damge from i think the stomp

chrome falcon
#

well you're supposed to pull a mob after the boss in for a haste buff and just tank it on that

#

but don't bother with that

#

just tank it in the middle

sick sentinel
#

if i take him to the ledge, the stomp is wider (default) and so hits and kills more ppl i take it?

chrome falcon
#

if people get hit by the frontal that's their fault and their positioning

#

not your job not your problem

sick sentinel
#

finger food?

toxic pewter
#

u think chest is best spot for unity if u dont see yourself getting 285 gear

urban portal
#

Likely

sick sentinel
#

yeah, i'm just gunna make a route that i know works for me 100% lol, i have to edit the pulls and notes

toxic pewter
urban portal
#

Idk

#

I don’t have your character

#

You do

#

Just sim it

toxic pewter
#

Ok

chrome falcon
# urban portal Idk

at this point i want to just start saying random numbers to these hilariously impossible to answer questions

urban portal
#

Right

#

If I could compute this off the top of my head I wouldn’t be in a warrior discord on a Friday evening

#

I would be making big dollars rn

toxic pewter
#

is so leah technique actually better than most trinkets u think

chrome falcon
#

yes by 62.4 dps

toxic pewter
chrome falcon
#

it's fine

pallid quiver
#

Nice, already on top of it

chrome falcon
#

if you have it at high ilvl go for it

#

it's solid defensively and offensively

toxic pewter
#

right it seems like a good balance trinket

chrome falcon
#

there are no good trinkets this patch so the shitty statstick is pretty high on the tier list

toxic pewter
#

sort of like codex

chrome falcon
#

what

toxic pewter
#

offense/defense

chrome falcon
#

how is codex a "balance" trinket

#

it gives stamina and a 10% DR

toxic pewter
#

does dmg too

#

O_o

chrome falcon
#

barely

#

go look at how much it does over a key

toxic pewter
#

does like 150dps

chrome falcon
#

nope

#

it does negative dps compared to a trinket that actually gives strength

sick sentinel
#

finger food is the red debuff boy you guys are talking about for PF i assume?

chrome falcon
#

literally a dps loss vs using a trinket that gives strength and nothing else

toxic pewter
#

soleah better than phial u think

chrome falcon
#

i have no idea yogi i have never heard that term before

toxic pewter
#

i feel like haste is just good for us

#

and prob worth getting more of it

hazy edge
#

All of these questions can be answered just by sim

chrome falcon
#

i have no idea

#

that's not what the mob is called

#

it's after the first boss

#

it's a red slime

#

it leaves a puddle on the ground when it dies

#

if you stand in the puddle you get haste

#

i have no idea what the fuck "finger food" is

toxic pewter
#

mmmm finger food

#

i could go for some

sick sentinel
#

o ya

#

i see him now

#

no such luck about wo past the blightweaver on the stairs eh? or you required to kill him to start up ickus room

sturdy sable
#

He dies to bombs anyways

#

So does the urh

dark lark
#

Oh neat, our execute got inadvertently buffed too lol

mighty valley
#

It's not an accident but it sure does seem like "hell, why not"

sand pebble
#

I mean it might move us from f tier into c tier with all other tanks at a or s tier

vernal vale
onyx vessel
#

Parsing as a tank is alot easier than as a dps

#

More dps in a raid team then tanks plus lots of tanks dont care about dps

#

If you want easy parses go venthyr spam condemn and ss when not tanking the boss

vernal vale
onyx vessel
#

So you are doing better dps as prot

vernal vale
#

I'm bad at dps right now. Very out of practice as fury. Hadn't played it at all this tier until last week.

urban portal
#

Need to press more raging blow

#

All you need to press

vernal vale
#

Apparently there is more to it than that because my numbers where really gross and low.

onyx vessel
#

Just smash raging blow and rampage and bloodthrist

#

Ww every 3rd gcd if its cleave

vernal vale
#

I was slapping raging blow like crazy. With as much rampage as it was available.

#

I'm doing something wrong.

#

In any case it's about prot here which I'm much better at.

onyx vessel
#

Wrong talents unlikely wrong soulbinds? 4set? Double lego

#

Stick with you are better at is always the best option

#

Prot warrior pumps

vernal vale
onyx vessel
#

Unless you are banner slave like me

vernal vale
#

Started playing fury to get back in raid after leaving my old guild.

onyx vessel
#

Have the melee stack on me and fight for 400 mastery while dodging frontals

vernal vale
#

Where I was told not to shield slam because I was pulling threat off paladin.

onyx vessel
#

Too good at dps

#

Tell him to hit taunt more then

vernal vale
#

Lol

onyx vessel
#

Or do more dmg

vernal vale
#

If only it had been that easy.

onyx vessel
#

Ik

urban portal
#

That's his fault

onyx vessel
#

Ive tanked with some hot garbage tanks

urban portal
#

Pally is supposed to rip aggro from you

#

Not the other way around

onyx vessel
#

I was tanking with a 240 prot pally he did fine holding threat

#

My co tank i let him take the trash mobs since he rips off me

#

Tank the big boys

#

No spear for snap aggro

#

Prot pally is top dmg for tanks

#

Prot war is like middle

vernal vale
#

It was a whole thing. He was bad. I was visiting the wife's family for Easter and shared logs. Blew up the discord here over how bad he is.

onyx vessel
#

He can hold aggro weird

#

Yeah sounds about right

vernal vale
#

He couldn't manage too.

onyx vessel
#

Like that 4.7k overall 270 lock i had in a key

#

4.7k overall dmg

vernal vale
#

Oof

#

That's painful.

onyx vessel
#

4 set double lego

ocean yoke
#

how do you not do more just by accident

onyx vessel
#

Told my guilds lock they like i struggle to do 9k overall

#

Hes like 260

ocean yoke
onyx vessel
#

I was doing 5k overall

vernal vale
#

My buddy who just came back on his 243 2legendary demon hunter does like 7k overall

onyx vessel
#

Also giving him 400 mastery

ocean yoke
#

my like 246 brew does more than that 270 lock wot

onyx vessel
#

He was like 2.5k io

ocean yoke
#

did you ask what your cut was for it

onyx vessel
#

More closer to 2k actually

#

So easy to do but still

#

The whole asked him if he bought account

#

Nothing enchanted

vernal vale
#

2k io is a joke

onyx vessel
#

2 291s

#

Still means he timed some 15s

#

With that dps

#

Carried

#

So dont feel bad about your dps

vernal vale
#

I carried my demon hunter friend through several 15s this week.

onyx vessel
#

But you know he can pump

#

So hes not a carry

vernal vale
#

He went from 0io to 500 something in 5 dungeons.

onyx vessel
#

More like a half a carry

#

I mean you invite a warlock cuz they pump

#

Get one who doesnt

worthy haven
#

I cheated and played fury till I got to ilvl 270 and got my 4 PC then switched to prot, so I'm using a 229 wep/shield

But prot is fun as shit

#

It's way more action intensive than my monk

#

But im loving it

#

I wanted to make an alt tank, tried pally/dk and hated both

onyx vessel
#

229 weap doesnt use single minded fury

stuck kite
#

The day they make whirlwind effect on prot warrior the same as fury we are broken at dps

#

The 15% exex buff will help on tyrannical, but not change in a big way

onyx vessel
#

Never gonna happen

#

They probably wanted it to it something but changed mind

jagged pier
#

Never gunna hapen let me cleave SS to 5 targets 🤔

onyx vessel
#

If it proced ss too

#

I dont see why you cant

#

When you spin like fury that shield slapping fools

#

Its more amusing in torghast when you get the power you whirlwind when you shield slam

#

Blizzard wont let us have fun copium

hi i can see on warcraftlog a lot of Protect using necro does it the better choice for MM+ ?

#

can we stay with kyrian ?

bold linden
#

Necro rly Kicks in m+. I switched from kyr to necro a Fee weeks ago and i would Not Switch Back. With 4pc Tier its rly a Lot of fun to Play.

sick sentinel
#

with marileth ?

bold linden
#

Afaik yes, marileth is best choice

sick sentinel
#

I'm going to try it even if the kyrian pike helps a lot with dps and gather targets... I'm tempted by this new adventure with the necros

bold linden
#

Just try Not to Rage Cap by using IP. Only use outburst on SS for increased rage gain.

#

Hope i did Not forget anything XD

sick sentinel
#

necro kinda annoying this week since we can't chain as well right?

#

euh just a question IP ? SS? english abbrev isn t easy for me

bold linden
#

IP = ignore pain

#

SS = Shield slam

Streets trinket is meh for prot war

Cuz you hardly ever get 5 stacks on bosses

Got the scale from hakkar yesterday (low key one, ilvl 236) would it be worth investering and upgrading it? Cheers peeps

Depends on your needs, generally tank trinkets aren't that useful until highish keys
