its bulky af
on vulpera its the only helm that doesnt look fucked
I mean I dig the set
works good with blackrock bulwark
just not sure with 1h
flail? idk
i use flail or a mace
just not sure which mace that works with that set
this is the budget shield for it imo
Very budget
xD!
i like decaying draenic shield
sword breaker is still the biggest shield in game >
I have a feeling the scale of the earthwarder shield is (deathwing) skin that is
the suramar shield is also huge
yah its long but thinner
scale is pretty egal in size with sword breaker true
bigger on some appearance
when will we get a dual shield spec
would be fun
Hey that is only for the Nightborne!!!

I wish they added the Spellbreaker shields too ffs
My wc3 spellbreaker dream would come true
in not going to try to over think 17 spires last night besides that group or shaman couldn't keep up with orbs phase of boss 3
3 spires
oriph
Grab orbs. Press shield wall. Prosper
Oh, thought you're talking about explosives.
one wipe on 2 because I saw a by spawn in and got confused why it spawned got hit with blind in confusiob
the by was me apparently attacking vy relic
was just one of them doomed keys from the start, you could just tell
Guys do you advice any plater profile? Im using luckyone (elvui, wa and plater) but the plater i donโt like itโฆ
my advice would be find out what you dont like about it and change it yourself
the best plater is usually one you made yourself
The problem is that i donโt tank since early legion and still have my brain setup to dpsโฆ but i will do that ty ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
I don't know where I got it but I downloaded a profile for plater that makes casters in m+ go bar purple, dark red for cleave and stop light colors for aggro warning
explosives shouldnt be much of an issue on spires boss 3 I'd imagine cuz it's only 1 mob to spawn em
shaman was saying to do the line stack and not have the blue orbs come in 2 lines but I didn't think that mattered much just like I do 70% orbs and then group does 30% if they have Dr or one will hit
its a healer job
Soaking orbs on third boss?
I wish I could make my healer do those but uh
Not talking about explosive orbs
hmm I thought so, but I did the orbs first time and went low die to melee, I can try again
Yeah if you died to those orbs on 17 then you used CDs wrong
Or didnโt use them at all
Thatโs ez to live
you soak them you wanna put the 2 pack enough far so stack fade between
No
Thatโs bad too
Itโs very simple you just make a line of them and soak them all asap
Then slam CDs and itโs chill
No need to overcomplicaye
I believe we wasn't ready was part of it or like I was trying to do small flesh craft if bunch was coming 1 direction
You just use DS+IP while youโre picking the orbs up
Then when you have them all
You shield wall
And fleshcraft if you need
its the dot part that hurt anyway
They should all come from the same direction
they were talking about explosives
3rd boss orbs should be your job but in pugs ppl seem to soak them anyway
so i let them do it
I won't do it... but emeni could possibly be good for that fight move while fc
in not sure how you garuntee leap out is ready for each of the stacks but the all 5 stacks exact same xy pixel is scary to me, been one shot too many times and save leap
go left or right of group when I do it as well so I'm not on someone else's path
oh well shitty pug falls apart on +17 back to the weather room and more at 11
its not the pugs
it was all on you there
learn and dont repeat same mistake
youll get beter
I did 2 other runs of spires this week, 1 was a 16 2 chest
I can't recall the other one
15 1 chest the day beforw
and still screw up can happen thats how it is.
but like I got 3 keys fort that have no score at all
so ksm easy, then I can give it a rest or a while
if you do 17 you should have ksm
just 150 points, that's like those 3 keys 15 in times alone
well, my key now is still spires 16 and I'll likely push it again try to see if age drops and if if changes to a key I still need on tyr
I donโt understand what youโre referring to here
Do you mean when you have to stack to place the orbs
Because you donโt need leap for that
You can just walk there or use intervene if you really have to
seems to me that you can line the first 2 white swirls with heroic leap, i run bounding for that makes it 30 instead of 45
white swirl that turns into an orb 3rd boss spires oryprian
yah but group is supossed to be stacked behind boss
its a white swirl effect below you before it turns blue
hmm, well on the 15 i had a paladin, so, they probably did that im betting with bubble, on the 16 i see Rsham mage dh rogue, maybe rogue can get a few with cloak, dunno anymore had rogue 2 varieties both times
Any time when in a PuG assume that you are the only one doing those orbs.
If someone else soaks some..great..but still be in the position to grab them.
Guys best way to learn routes? Im dpsing for so long that im not use to command the routeโฆ
๐๐๐
That's honestly about it.
You can grab some initial routes from R.io (tho some of them are....weird)..or create your own using MDT and then just make a screenshot from it and hold it up on the second monitor (if you have it).
You can also run some lower keys..e.g +5s where you don't have to think about survivability just to get the routes down. You will honestly remember them quite fast.
if your dps you did the dungeon enough time to see the tank route
Well i still have to wory about that since my prot is a new char ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ
I couldn't remember another tanks route if i DPS'ed even if my life depended on it.
All i remember from keys that i DPS is that "SHIT TANK PULLING SO LITTLE AND NOT AROUND MY CD'S!"
eurg
๐ฌ
wow new kleyboard my cat got on my desk and already all the rgb doesnt work he pressed something with his freaking paw
Your cat got you a new keyboard?
That's sick.
All mine does is wakes me up at night.
mine always go in front of my screen during a big pull in m+
always when needed the most
someone in wow chat "p-pally can do both waves of those orbs" well.. that involves me switching to p-pally for one...
you can do both wave too
So can you. 
Those orbs are not hard at all
How many sets of emypreal ordinance are you getting per recharge @sick sentinel
Cuz it should be two
Two sets are very easiliy lined up and soaked by the tank. Dps should always stay on boss for that phase. A hpal might wanna soak and then bubble the dot but donโt expect a dps to get them
Stand on boss while itโs recharging. Keep up ur rotation to generate rage and spend on IP. Orbs all hit you in the back and then once you got the dot rolling use a defensive
that goes for any boss.. if its execute phase, all mechanics go out the window
True if itโs execute time and healer is breathing go hambone
Well i have a okeish know how of the route while dpsing but i can record all the packs the tanks pull. Im more worry to cc and dps the packs down ๐๐๐
And dont make me start talking about skips and percentages ๐ ๐ ๐
Kill what's on your path and that's usually enough
Well probably its me making a big deal about this ๐๐๐
u r
Yea just run where you went as dps
Ty im more relief about that part them
routes skips and ccs literally do not matter till like 24
i literally have timed 21s but pressing W ๐
Nice, since im a casual player i dont have to bother with that part ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Btw how do you now what spells we can reflect?? Do you memorise it or do you have an wa or addon for that???
theres an SR sheet in the pins will all reflectable/blockable spells
you end up just remembering a lot of them, pretty much any targeted magic ability on you is reflectable for instance
spell reflect will work on everything though for the dmg reduction just not reflect some other
chain doing thorast for the burnished greatsword.... eurk
Ty for help ๐ช๐ผ๐ช๐ผ
turns out can't be carried through a mechanic I have to do that I didn't bring the direct answer against
on a higher dif, who coulda seen that coming.. everyone? ah shit
That mechanic relies on your dps placing swirlies well too tho. But yes the brunt of the responsibility is on you to soak and mitigate during recharge. Cuz you want your group blasting.
you don't need to "bring" an answer to it
you don't need to overthink it
there are balls
run into them
and press CDs
^^
Is secret technique really better than OWS
I really cant see it
3 ticks of OWS is equal to the buff of technique
and it goes to 5
well OWS is conditional in taht you need to actually keep the stacks up
if you can do that then yea its better
strength.
ah yeah
well yeah dont go using a LFR OWS over a 278 technique
coulddrop some ilvl for ows tho
yeah i'm still using OWS
@sick sentinel what is really important to understand in terms of the soak mechanic on boss 3 in spires is that the debuff is stacking... that means u dont want to blow all your good stuff during low stacks.. it will hurt the most once u collected all balls (10) and also when the phase is actually over u still carry the debuff for a few seconds while the boss also melee swings you... remember to keep up shieldblock for that time again since he will hit you in the face and u have a magic debuff on yourself
i have a 278 scale that can do 59k absorb on that phase maybe
sure scale is fine for that too
yes but your should also be able to soak without a lot of healing attention until your reach really high keys
since it is pure magic dmg your want to smoothen your incoming dmg
if you press reflect early you should get it back late for another dr
press ip and demo shout and if you press shieldwall you are super fine
but i have to agree it can be kinda annoying to have pug healer being surprised everytime a tank takes dmg, there are certain mechanics that will simply hurt
do you think prot is gonna be more desirable at s4??
prot is already strong
whether we're "desirable" is a matter of whether the wow playerbase manages to think for themselves long enough to realise that
(so no, probably not)
Nothing will really change
i know prot is strong but many players follow the sites and not the facts and that is a bit sad
prot is not that strong if you compare it to other tanks
but its also not bad
but if rogue becomes meta and ww stays as it is right now prot becomes quite desirable
except the tank meta isnt dependant on what dps is good
otherwise wouldnt vdh be at the top atm?
aren't the chinese teams absolutely godawful
but ye ofc bdk is meta because it does double the dmg of any other tanks
absolutely not sir
thats a stretch
all i know about chinese teams is that one of their MDI final rounds literally got cancelled because neither team could do the key
They have a few good push teams
But mdi they hardly care about
They have 1 maybe 2 good teams for mdi
It's not that popular for them
highest keys atm timed by china
didnt aster disband as well, was kinda the top china team?
In S1 or so half of the teams got banned mid mdi
So half of them won by default
And 1 team only had to play 1 match to get into finals
And yeah aster did disband
prot is fine, but the prot playing has to play fine, and the group has to have basic understanding of how the prot works and try to accomodate if possible, more than dk or p-pal say
Cuz who'd've guessed that slapping a team of 3/4 mixed guilds together to force them to play
Only for money and with the pressure in the back to achieve high ranks is not a good idea?
the legendary double deplete
yes, i am very much for keeping the deplete, but i think depleted should be you giga fucked up the key and its 50% more of the timer than dungeon
like, 30 + 15 = 45m for mists
Depleting doesn't add anything to the game
if you take 45 minutes to complete the key, THEN it depletes
its the necessary evil,
no
depleting was a terrible system
it was only in the game for 1 patch for a reason
if you fuck up, you get punished and sent back, just like old nintendo games arcade
i agree with this
Issue is its a group that fucks up, not you on your own
oh you're not talking about depleting sorry
If somebody else fucks it up for you
i thought you meant like the actual depleting system from legion instead of just failing the key
Then that creates a huge level of toxicity
well, key stone go down, is what i mean by depelete
Failing the key is already punishment enough
Why should you then be forced to do a lower level key, just to get back to where you were
Makes no sense
You always say you don't wanna fuck up someone else's key and waste their time and feel bad about it
Adding more punishment to depleting ain't gonna help that
my raiding history
what happened after uldir
i definitely completed LFR nathria many times past 3 boss, dunno why it says otherwise
or is ulduir tmog farming
@shut summit On one of your videos, there is a buff bar that you can click to close, with check marks to be sure you don't forget anything. Is that an addon or a sharable weakaura ?
after i killed deathwing on LFR on my rogue, and then i got to i think spine in a normal pug "I beat the game, i won", i didn't have the 2 legendary daggers but i figured that would never happen
so i quit all of wod legion
i did some of mists, but i didn't like mists all that much, i didn't do the final tier of raids on that expansion
Exorsus raid tools ready check pop-up I think
Or method raid tools or w.e it's called now
what i use is marking bar, and it has 2 click world markers and 1 click unit icons, makes manual marking fast. includes a "i will use moon for sheep, trignle for trap", ready check
tried some other more advanced raid one that checked all kinds of stuff like food flask buffs, but thats like if youre actual raid leader
ok thanks
Is there a way in logs to see how much ignore pain was wasted due to buff falling off/overcapping? I get itโs not super important, just interested
no
ty
learning to tank but I was taught through pvp to literally unbind back pedal and only strafe. Do I need to back pedal as PVE tank or can strafe get me through everything? I see high rated M+ tanks backpedaling (I have gone over 10 years of using "S" as a keybind for other things!)
u can do ither its preference
I did the same thing when I started raid tanking in nathria. I found it helped to use backpedal you could just strafe j guess
thank you, worried it would expose my back too much
dont be lazy and use proper keybinds
Youโll really notice it when you do
ive also played without backpedal for 10+ years cuz of pvp
and i've always had backpedal bound ๐คท
only when i started raid tanking i rebound it cuz sometimes you only want to move a mob like 1yard backwards
Not lazy though for sure lol it gives me more options! But I will start unlearning
and doing that with strafing is possible but takes longer and can fuckup slightly
That makes sense
like scribes in sanguine deaths
or the guy before last boss in pf
all pug tanks i see are literally not getting the idea how they work
u only have to backpedal slowly
Taking notes!
all you have to do is be close to them just barely outside of melee range
they can walk at normal speeds but gotta be at a very specific distance

malders in my +16 spires because "i'm pulling way too incredibly slow and so bad tank, not putting bird with the boss nope? okay i'm leaving mid boss" wah wah,

yeah, okay, i really wanna help you guys out and do mechanics when i'm being berated from first pull, jesus
๐
yeah you're correct on that one, but for 3 whole minutes every second they are just bitching and moaning berating..... no fuckin way....
first boss spires
im out
i'm still drawing a blank lol
the first boss
of spires
there's a boss
that has a bird
you pull the boss to the bird
ohh just like, the other boss
first boss of spires is a 2 boss, shared HP, ones a bird, and ironically, i might add, she goes up and flies around, while the bird sits on the ground
i was thinking a trash mob or something
you are supposed to put them all together for dps to cleave, but by this point i was just doing whatever i wanted because dps was furious about nothing
maybe they were furious because you were doing stuff wrong
like not tanking the bosses together
like sure they're shitty for flaming you
"you can pull this whole room in 1 pull"
you can
i mean, yes,
he's right, that's not what i'm into, if im doing 22's or some shit that i do have to like tax form calculator every pull, sure, i'll look into what it takes to make a pull like that
you just pull the mobs and they all die because it's a 16
like i'm not defending them flaming but if you're going to pug, the only thing you can control is what you do but if you're doing easy double pulls one at a time then people are just gonna leave for a quicker key
which is shitty but also not remotely surprising
don't get me wrong niether right, like i absolutely understand the philosphy of you gotta pratice playing ball like your an all star with your buddy at 10 pm at the field all day long if you want to be a baseball expert
you're vastly overestimating the difficulty of pulling two packs at once
at the *start * of the key
when everyone has every CD
this is not some high level elite 22+ strategy
this is what literally everyone does
so if you don't do it people are going to be confused and annoyed
2 packs yes, i know how to do it, it just has a higher probability that someone will panic and die in pugs is what i find
you have to be mounted and use a taunt or throw on the back and go to the grouped LOS and wait with jeparody music for like 10 seconds for them to get down the mini stairs and up to the pillar, then tyou kill it
yes, i'm super familiar with it, on paper and in reality situation
why do you have to be mounted
like do your key however you want, but don't be surprised when people don't understand why you're doing shit really slowly
because if you don't you have to bounding to get the movement speed required, or a charge + throw
mount you just run past, throw and then go hide
you literally just charge into the first pack, taunt the second pack then go into los
and then challenging shout when they get in range
the giant will collapse with that pull and then its alot of interrupts for the group
players doing the LOS can't poke early to set up a dot or something because then the casters start to free cast, locking their location, this pulls giant, or can lead to it
thus i think it is an overly complex pull and don't opt for it now
then you're wasting your groups full CD opener and people are going to get annoyed ๐คทโโ๏ธ you should use the keys you're doing now to learn how to do these pulls so you can go higher
and if you're going for KSM you should try to do the key faster because you get more points
Nobody really does that LOS at the beginning anymore
Just run in and kick things in range, and have kickers for the goliath
you can los farther in too
I'm not even sure if the casters will chain cast, I think they have CD
so they'll just cast twice then run in
well, mr giant, right, he pats to the end of the blue line
most people pull him with the first pull
why you got 3 notes for one pull
2 of them have nothing on it, simple visual notations, for clarity
and thats the order as well, team hides, you go, you come back till it los, you kill it
if i did that pull i could then do giant +3 top of the stairs
if you really want to do the first 2 los you can just do it at the circle i put without pulling goliath
ran the 15 after words anyways, nothing worth talking about, including lack of afe
I fell asleep before you did your math here, but in most realistic situations, especially this patch, you HAVE to spend the rage off GCD or else overcap, so your choice is more often SB to avoid over capping charges, or yet another IP, it's not really competing with two revenges. Plus the gaps in tanking right now aren't usually long enough to where you wouldn't get any defensive value out of the SB uptime anyway
This is the greatest compliment a prot warrior can receive

these young'uns man
don't remember the days when you had to have 80 apm playing sc2 to beat some silver shitter 4gating you
zoomers omegalul
i member
Every WoW player needs to experience 80+ APM at one point or another
80apm in sc2 is like bronze league
SC2 requires godlike APM
My autistic ass could never multitask enough to be good at that shit LMAO
that's why sc2 died because everyone got scared and tired of apm and went to go play league instead

But thatโs not how SC2 works 
and box selecting, control groups
seriously though if you have less than 60 apm as prot
camera keybinds if you're really sweaty
you're totally fucked

i still follow HuK on twitter lol
that was a big brain tactic though
hallucinate a bunch of voidrays and pretend you tech switched
no god damn clue how i did it the first time but i somehow, because this is me, i know i did, i caused him to floor POV that boss and the second boss because i let myself get blinded, let this poor dk floor POV 2 bosses in 15 anyways
Hey,
I was wondering if there are certain thresholds where IP becomes better than SB and the other way around. Is it always depending on the dmg type (so most dmg physical I user SB > IP and magic IP > SB) or also dependant on the damage taken (e.g. I am about to take a single 100k hit so I SB vs I will take 5x 10k hits so I IP). Would appreciate some help!! Thanks
It's simple - if you're taking any blockable damage you want SB up
i know exactly how that fight works, but i targeted wo or vy or some shit, so it came out and its not urh and im stunnlocked thinking WTF why it not urh?
keep SB up if something is meleeing you and use IP to stop yourself capping rage
that's like 80% of playing prot warrior right there
don't treat IP as mitigation really it's just there to spend excess rage
if you take pure magic damage you can use IP
but you never really ever do that
cus white hits are still blockable
if you're really taking the PP you can trade some revenj for IP
Idk sometimes capping ip can save using a cd like on skollex frontal or jailer phase 2 swap + reflect ofc
If youre healthy
yeah and you'll be capped there anyway probably
I don't think I've ever had IP expire since I switched to Necrolord
In a fight, that is
Can anyone type out what an opener on a 5 pack would look like? I am gonna do some practice dummies after work
I know itโs probably different throughout a dungeon slightly
But a general idea would help me a lot
change that to seeing red and outburst and that's my experience
that buff never goes away it seems
Not always, the bleed will eat at your ip on skollex or even worse on jailer when ur standing on the desecrated ground that will ear your ip and you have nothing to hit so its good to go with a full rage bar if you want to avoid using a cd (on heroic jailer atleast, prolly beed a dr everytime on mythic but not there yet so idk)
yeah sure i'm not saying like "never press IP for mitigation it does nothing"
but people shouldn't be tracking their IPs and going for 100% uptime or something
just press it to dump rage, if you need it to mitigate it'll be really really obvious
for me it's charge SS revenge then go from there
you can revenge first if your dps is horny but SS first is better rage gen
Oh yeah for sure, im just saying although most often ip is not used as mitigation, there are definitely situations where it is
Okay and with avatar and banner both up you wanna lead with banner? Precharge even?
well avatar is off GCD and banner isn't
but yeah i banner before or during the charge
it lasts 1 minute plus so wasting a second of it before the pull is irrelevant compared to holding threat
Gotcha
You can
Charge > ravager + avatar + banner > rotation
Ah yeah itโs a lotta gen
Youll be dumping a lot of rage on pull, try not to overcap
Does the outburst from avatar kinda waste the rage from charge and ravaged tho
Ok yeah thatโs what Iโm imagining
No the seeing red can keep stacking even with an outburst proc
Ooooh
Hell yeah
Ok Iโm less worried about opener now ty!
Oh shit thatโs wild
Ye i suggest you track seeing red and outburst, i think theres a pin for that weakaura
yes whenever i'm pulling with charge and i have avatar up i slam 2 IPs
charge+avatar+SS is 115 rage
not counting banner, base rage gen, and potential ravager
another reason to SS first because if you wait another gcd it's v possible you overlap outburst
but your dps does need to horn down for half a second
god we have to press so many buttons on pull
I might hold off on speccing rvager
I have shit haste rn anyways
Might go for fray
Is ravager a big big dmg gain or mostly rage gen?
Fine. But if I get carpet tunnel Iโm blaming you
Ravager wont give you carpel tunnel, playing pwarr will
is there still that hold out where you don't time the key, 2 ppl get loot, if u time it u get 3 ppl get gear normally and maybe 4 if you do better than 1 star and lucky? maybe thats why they maldin? though they get no loot i bet
Wish there was a conduit talent that pressed IP for me when I was above a certain rage
bfa i recall if you failed key seemed like 90% time 2 ppl only get loot
That would be pretty bad in execute phase but it would probably increase banner uptime
Oh true
yeah, so and even still tequipping BV is bad with the ip spam we do now during banner rage boost
99% banner, 67% avatar and 14k overall 
What key? Can you show me your dmg breakdown pls
So happy to not be tossing spears anymore
bv?
booming voice
probably is, more overall at least
Kk
i just default to BV cause its super easy to get 100 % uptime on banner that way
i ran 10 keys, 9 of them a 16 or more, i think its time to quit this week
we still have until like july im pretty sure
late august most likely
it's a week where you dont have to worry about anything as a tank
those god damn tornadoes are the melee pugger destoyers
its not that bad really, just get out he way lol
storming means ill be sad
annoying sure, but it aint gonna kill you
If you have like 4 tornados spawning it's Hella annoying
charging into a tornado 
storming alone wont kill you, but it can easily lead to sitaution where you do wipe or die
It's just fucking annoying
tries to move out to get reprisal charge
tornado says no
Aight guess I'll go fuck myself
i think it can be fun keeps you moving anyways
if u got 4 tonadoes its just like well bro it is what it is
they should knock you slightly higher up so you can get free charges
i dunno if u take fall damage from a normal flat surface tornadoe to face, but you can intervene or heroic leap out of any fall damage if you are looking for it to happen, same with like more different tornadoes in final 1 or 2 platforms of teleport section TOP
Love tyrannical storming in HOA last boss ๐ป
I wish the tornadoes knocked you up high enough to charge. They'd be fine then
i did that twice since i came back wihch probably saved the key, i did it in my 18 TOP which surprised me, probably reason we beat that key, along with 15k feral
guy does 10m dmg with just bite attack
you have quasi control over where the tornadoes spawn it at, and they are on a set path, so its not like its impossible
Or a tauren having too big a model so they're unable to soak it
I think there's been issues with the beam there ye
Where you're just too large to stand in the beam
that's very interesting, not the one i was expecting you to say
i was thinking the gnomes beam
Havocs had to cancel their meta in freehold first boss for example if they wanted to Los the shot from the boss
do well on th other 2 keys
I always laugh when I see the DPS running after Devos in HoA, while I run towards the blue glow.
Like, Bro, she gonna be over here in a few seconds
Cuz they'd be too large
They also sometimes can't los behind ledges during meta cuz meta model is too large
I thought they patched it so tornadoes dont spawn during the soak
it amazes me how many players cannot seem to understand that devos only spawns that blue cricle you mentioned towards wall to make it easy on themselves , and to bait the dash attack out of the circle so we can juice it (reduced damage every frame she is in it)
pushing when she reaches 70 and i think 40% is really important too, free beating time.
She doesn't matter if she's in the shield
And she's phasing at 80% and 30%
You always wanna bait her dash against the close wall
So she doesn't move far so you don't lose dps
You wanna dispel the debuffs outside of the blue circle so you don't block more space in the safezone for melees and for baiting her against the wall
could be cuz closer to 15s, but our groups usually get her to 65 to 70% before she is in the air
That's cuz of cast time
Could actually be 70 and 30 now that I think about it
๐ค
But anyway
think its 70 30
like typical blizz stuff
also yeah read the debuff on the shield - it only decreases damage against the explosion
something which she doesnt even take damage from = it doesn't matter if you hold her in the bubble
protip for free for healers on devos: you can go to where the use thing is that you take the orbs, after you do your orb, and then it acts as like an LOS thing, so you don't get pushed back and then you could just spam heals from that spot
always feels good
just some pug 15 top for vault
blaster

I canโt wait to try it out on Fortified weeks. Iโve had more success with Heavy Rep instead of AM for fortified weeks.
nope
heavy rep is terrible
and has been for like a whole patch
probably costs you 3-4k dps
and a ton of rage
necro with AM is the only thing you should be playing
Noted falling in love with this build
it's the only build so that makes sense
When you're playing HR instead of AM you drop from 60-70% uptime of Avatar down to 20% and you lose 30-40 outbursts per key, thus lower your Banner uptime and miss out on fuckloads of SWs per Key for 10% more block uptime
It's a massive loss to play HR in every way, especially considering Urh
do we use WW as prot for aoe?
No
No
The only time you'll ever see WW as prot is if you happen to pick up one of the powers that autocast it in Torghast
revenge is better in every way imaginable
During that window of rage generation do you put everything in ignore pain?
Also what is the best time to use SB during this window usually I go Raveger > charge > banner > Ip
use SB when you're getting hit
use IP to dump excess rage
never overcap your rage
If cap rage then ip
If anything survives on bolster LS and rice and repeat
use SB as it's needed as long as you are taking melee hits
In a +21 halls on double Gordon pack I used only IP they did 0 damage to me
No SB which was strange af
Cast IP at over 70 Rage, is my rough rule
i acutally only cast ip
i dont do damage as tank i am pure survival
defense is the best offense they say
they do say that
we have many of those yes
Only if you're doing meme keys and have Bonegrinder in.
Otherwise, yeah - don't put it on your bar.
revenge is better than ww
Not with Bonegrinder, no, but you're gonna press Revenge more than WW anyway.
And it's really only something to pump damage in lower keys because it disrupts the fluidity of proccing SS through TC/Rev
Each tick of a BG WW is between 3.5 and 4K for me when I'm rolling and there's 3 ticks per target with square root scaling after like... I dunno 5 or 8 targets, so it's going to hit decidedly harder than Rev and spend rage much faster, you just have to pick yourself up with more rage after you blow your wad, usually through chargeweaving.
wat
What part of that wasn't coherent.
name a single way in which WW is better than revenge in not torghast or some stupid ZM buff shit that makes it op
i can name ohhh, at least 4 off top of head how rev better
go pop all your CDs and bonegrinder and press whirlwind
that shit does infinite damage
but it also doesn't help rage gen so it sucks
but it's fun in meme keys
Yeah, it's gonna do more damage at the cost of basically everything else.
u talkin about merciless bonegrinder conduit
No, I'm talking about the other Bonegrinder conduit 
Of course I'm talking about Merc Bonegrinder
reported
1, it does less damage than revenge, (due to many reasons, talents ETC), 2, it's not instant and on next attack so you have to wait for attack animation, 3, rage waste like you guys said, 4 i lied i only have 3 reasons unless 4th is that the range is ALSO worse,
Yogi, I'm gonna stop you there.
no-one is saying whirlwind is good
but also
go do what i said
pop every CD and bonegrinder and press some whirlwinds
You do way less damage than you should be doing in keys, I've seen your SS. I'm not going to take DPS advice from you when you're not even reading what I told you.
it does literally double, maybe more, the damage of a revenge
I'm here rooting for your io climb, but know what's being discussed instead of just trying to parrot.
also even base whirlwind hits harder than revenge
is ww bonegrinder the new meta
Isn't worth the rage without Bonegrinder.
yes
And no, Bonegrinder isn't meta.
go play whirlwind only in all your keys please
It's just a way to pad.
Because you give up a lot of survival and rage gen.
goin to try
i just get on the wrong targets or not close enough, hit wrong buttons
Low keys stuff dies fast enough for it to not matter.
it's a not look at the screen problem and target totally wrong thing
๐ค ...are you not speccing out of Ashen for keys?
Why keep ashen it's so little damage
On high Tyr it's better
Or fort dungeons with a lot of big minibosses
If you're doing sub 20s it's a fun high dps meme, but it's definitely not recommended for high keys.
I am running it now.
You can get away with it if you have a coordinated stack, but even then you're just being a ball ache to your healer.
will help with my banner uptime too
spending more rage
this is huge
going all in boys
apb I'm literally the guy that mentioned it and I'm telling you not to, but whatever makes your heart sing, chief. Best of luck 
Maybe it is, show us.
It isn't, but if you wanna play that way it's not gonna be the end of the world, per se.
all these years of not pressing ww
Just wont be ideal at a higher level.
it's not actually good long term
it's just good for 5 globals while you press WW
then you have no rage and no procs
and you're dead
what video would you guys be most interested in watching if you wanted to see a private link video in log review channel? i idd 18 TOP on time best key, and then 3 PF 16s, 1 failed, 1 spires 16, 2 15's SD 16 or a NW 17 failed.
Against two targets I hit WW 3 times in a opening burst rotation with Bonegrinder and it did 26% of my damage with revenge doing less than 3%.
It definitely hits way harder than revenge with BG up, but it's not meta-defining.
it's 10x easier to analyse
i want to get to the core of this dps not hitting buttons issue
i cba watching a 50 minute video of you failing a key
when i can spend 3 minutes pointing out every problem in a log
the issue is you spend more time worrying about your route and watching your replay
than playing the class
Prot PVP died with the patch to their tier sadge
You can RBG with it, like any tank, but eh.
why because of the 1 shot nerf
tbh
Yeah people didn't like SS bonking
i do rbg's and they are fun
you cant really rbg as any tank other than druid and dk (for kidnapping)
i would be more willing to do logs if this loggerhead thing cut off before and after i did a keystone on its own and put them each in a file
You can RBG as prot fine. It has its own displacements.
nah prot is really strong in rbg's
we can negate rogues really well
with zerker rage
i can guarantee you logging is 10000x easier and more effective than watching a 30 minute replay
โ๏ธ
and honestly conq banner is really strong for flag carrying
and again
no-one is watching a 30-45 minute video of you doing akey
when we can just see the actual data in a log
I kind of wish they'd make Devastator procs baseline, get rid of the extra damage, and then we can take Punish.
Or maybe roll S&B into Punish and make it a talent.
i agree, i had that same thought earlier today
i still take punish though its really strong
I mean for PVP, sure, if you're going for the one-shots - but that's not super viable anymore so you're probably better going Devastator still.
But I can't comment much on it because I stopped doing 3s after the nerf.
Just not enough going on between Outbursts to make it worth it.
I agree with you because i actually ran devestator in pvp for a while until someone told me yesterday punish is better
but i kind of feel like i misd devastator
one major way i know i make mistake is not targeting the correct relic when i go into combat on boss mostly
I sometimes forget I have Punish and just don't press Devastate.
Make a macro: /tar Urh
you guys always click to target, or hit tab to cycle enemy
so just make a macro
just in generally really
practice then
sometimes have to click when it's a real mess, tabbing usually does ok
you should have enough aoe threat for it not to matter 90% of the time
like i say, i feel like its 99% a problem that i don't hit the buttons in the correct order, don't look at screen to see move out or boss casting this crap
uh
well looking at your screen and pressing buttons is
literally 100% of the game so if you're struggling with that we might have a problem
you also totally over-rely on DBM callouts btw
you shouldn't be waiting for DBM to tell you to do something
if you're just reacting to an addon you're not going to have time to do everything properly, you should get used to knowing what's coming up in the next 5 seconds so you're not constantly surprised by what's going on
i click the extra action button things because i can't be assed to keybind a macro for it
I love the movie click with adam sandler
XD
XD great film
right, and so to start a log i just do /combatlog , and then to stop it and cut off? (so it doesn't record me doing ZM dailies as part of log)
whatever cause this low dps needs to be stopped, so if i do log and video no way we can't isolate this problem.
Warlock
Destruction
Ritual of Ruin (2-piece bonus) now lasts 30 seconds (was unlimited).
Summoning a Blasphemy (4-piece bonus) no longer stuns enemies in PvP.
what does this mean
is destro lock getting nerfed? those chaos bolts are too strong
means warlock DED dead
right
does this fix that
because they are way too strong
they need to nerf chaos bolt damage too tbh
i could have also been imagining but i swear i saw +25% threat all tanks image here
ehh works for me
i heard i can go alliance tomorrow if i want, i'd be scared to lose my quest progress tho? maybe later
prob would lose quest progress yeah
theres a faq somewhere that details everything you will lose
if you transfer factions
after KSM sure
Loggerhead does this for you. Log begisn and ends in dungeon and goes into your logs folder as an individual file
And are you referring to your own personal low dps needs to be stopped or your groups?
like my own personal dps, likely due to being out of range of what i want to attack
I bet it has everything to do with not pressing enough buttons. Thats usually always the problem this season.
Standing in shit increases dps
Im not kidding FDK gains a tiny bit of dam
ha
If they can get hit during AMS
They get runic power
Which roughly translates to damage during breath
cant wait to be a DI dwarf tmrw

AMS generating runic power when it prevents magic damage is hilarious and always will be
SR should give rage when you reflect a spell ๐ก
Lets start with spell reflect should reflect
true
and not be consumed on reflect, but still only reflect "once"
And should make it so we can block magic damage during it's duration
The very best thing it should do is not have 90ูช of spells still hit you when it's up
Probably means you should fix your route then
uhh, hang on
this is what actually got pulled and the arrow on second map notes that he died at this location instead of intended
Evening all. I see that Necrolord is great to play in m+ (absorbs for days and strength buff from banner) but I've seen that playing it only matters in higher keys (15+) where mobs and packs live long enough for the defensive value of ignore pain spam to matter. Until the damage you take gets there it's better to be Kyrian for the extra damage dealt. Can anyone here give their opinion on that difference?
15 isnt high keys
but yes if you are playing sub 15 may as well play kyrian and one shot every pack
You do more damage as Necro because you have more Rage to spam Revenge and Execute, which give you more Shield Slam resets, which gives you more Rage Generation, Which give you longer banner, which gives you longer Mastery buff which gives you more damage which gives you more Rage Generation... etc etc
For a nub to M+ they are. I haven't done a key yet that has actual affixes
So I should just be rolling Necro no matter what? It also seems more defensive
The only advantage Kyrian has is that it has higher SPIKE damage on pull for threat generation. And that's not enough
those keys aren't as hard as you think they are though, don't be afraid to go in and keep trying above all else
may as well start learning in a lower key
Yeah, it's more defensive and more offensive. It is harder to play though.
Also about gearing, should I just do low keys to learn and get good stats/trinkets for gear to invest valor into since it's uncapped?
You can time +15s with an entire party of 255ish; I did it in week 1
if i get KSM i'll piss around with venthyr prot
+15 is not hard
just see how it goes
You might as well go as high as you can. Ain't nobody got time for farming 4000 valour to upgrade a trinket from rank 1 to rank 12 bro
I'm sure you can, I still have mechanics and packs to understand. Like I've watched videos and I'm trying to learn, I'm more interested in approaching how to do the things
i do, i just completed my 11th + 15 or above
Oh, I didn't know it was that much of a slog
How to Warrior:
Step 1: Get Angry
Step 2: More Angry
Step 2: TOO ANGRY TO DIE
Yes.

With Necro it's really simply: The more Rage you generate, the longer banner lasts, and the faster Avatar and Shield Wall come back
and the more health you regen
Just
Push
Buttons
remember guys, the only thing that holds you back is YOU
you are only one in way of dreams type shit
:D
This is the character I'm working with. I tried to join 0-2s on this gal and got whispered to reroll to a real tank.
Bleh, talents haven't updated. But is score that important for low keys? Like it feels bad to have that crap from the random groups
Oh and before you go any further, you talent like this:
Row 1: Devastator
Row 2: Your choice (I prefer Double Time)
Row 3: Best Served Cold or Booming Voice
Row 4: Crackling Thunder or Bounding Stride (I prefer BS)
Row 5: Indomitable
Row 6: Into The Fray or Ravager (I prefer Ravager)
Row 7: ANGER MANAGEMENT
MAG'HAR SUPREMACY
Yeah, I have that talent setup. Armory has t updated.
:(
I prefer Ravager as well. It's way more set and forget
(I am also Mag'har, fuck the haters)
Who hates Maghar? They xmog super well
MAXIMUM ANGERY: https://youtu.be/srG8JoRVBVg?t=218 Psure this was the part record with a chainsaw
Uploaded because the original OST has been terminated on YouTube
Follow me on twitch, I play DOOM https://www.twitch.tv/KeyAhhNeww?sr=a
Make this macro: #showtooltip /use [@player]Ravager
I was an Elf for a long time
DOS 17, do i attempt it boys?
Nightbourne but people said Maghar were better
I like being able to set it on outside packs and have it follow them for threat. Like if a DPS derps and pulls I can drop it and get the pack to me
I have this macro as well: ```#showtooltip Ravager
/cast [@cursor] Ravager
would you ever combine the macro to do at player first and then say shift mod to make it at cursor or vica-verca
That should be wonderful. @cursor so you don't have to click. I just got my first MMO mouse so I'm learning to use it for defensives
I wouldn't, but I have fucked up hands and avoid using mod macros as a result
I don't have the Maghar tabard because the character was a Nightbourne :(
I use my mouse buttons for stuff that is on cursor and mouseover macros, and defensives and target stuff on keyboard
f1 row is too far, i don't have one of those how you say it 80/70% kb's
its like small and shit
no numpad
I'm using a Logitech G910 KB and G600 mouse
this ones called Xtreme gaming mechanical rgb..... cost me 30 bucks local
They also have a racial that seriously buggered the timers for dispels on Remnant

lol
I don't know what that means
The Mag'har Racial "Savage Blood" reduced the duration of a boss mechanic in Sanctum of Domination, which could sometimes result in a lot of people getting yeeted to their doom
i'm mighty tempted to go start up this 17 dos, but no
ew, DOS
Isn't that dungeon better if you have dispells and soothes? Take a BElf SV hunter gf
Pretty much all dungeons are better with dispells, NGL
Oh
mh orc buff us damn near bis for tins of classes
?
here's a bunch of secondary stat for few seconds every few minutes
Are you ok?
my spelling?
Just making sure you weren't like driving or something
Just macro Ancestral Call into your Avatar button and forget about it
I read that Maghar racial is great for lots of classes because it gives loads of secondary stats
Yep, since Avatar should be used anytime the racial would be needed.
I turned off my computer before dos 17 could start happening
Why?
that's a yogi disaster trap waiting to happen
Ah well then good for you.
Back to the question from earier, so Necro for the whole haul. I have a baby Dwarf and the 2min Stoneform on it comes in super handy for getting rid of bleeds and all. I'm debating playing alliance just for access to Dwarf and Night Elf.
Bleh, Alliance :(
long ago many many years my character was human
the dumbest warrior of them all, and I suceeded
Bleed removal. Also Dwarf
everyman is so damn good as prot? literal get put of jail frre
Like the Maghar is objectively a what eight hour time save just by what's on it. Also bigger faction etc
I mean its just good for everybody but not the best in pve
In reference tk every man
I just have a soft spot for my old main. The Dwarf has all the Draenor portals because of challenge modes.
Both dwarves are bis for style
I've had fantasy of turn warrior undead so he can eat corpses
not very good in practice without will
mechagnome other alliance races to try
I'd sooner eat my own eyeballs than play a gnome
This. I've collected every other races heritage armor except Gnome and Mechagnome
Wish blizz would finish all the heritage armors
everything was always dwarf for me whenever that was the option
at very start at least
I won't roll a gnome, panda, worgen, night elf or blood elf
There are too many goddamn elves
I dislike rolling orc, if do troll for many classes
I don't like Troll because their whole "no boots" thing fucks with too many good transmogs
well that but this is a blizzard come on issue it's insert current year, like sort mounts flying or ground
Orc, Night Elf, and Dwarf transmog well for almost a every class.
Slight deviations from the human base
Female Orc* males warp armor a lot especially shoulders
I just think in terms of transmog all models should have 2022/3 technology and skeletons in em
able to wear boots or gloves similar to human
@steady karma Any idea what three buys will be BIS for S4? Speculatively, that is.
idk this is #protection so probably a shield and some trinkets that let you get hit in the face more
ows, aegis, and whatever probably
matrix big third option
stone legion probably pretty decent option too
it'll have ilvl again
Could be good with ows if you dont need aegis for a more offensive option
Would prolly just run matrix then
Do we have to re-farm all our m+ gear in s4?
Lol what
Fair point
Did you not read up on anything 
S4 is not a "real" season it's an experiment from blizzard to fill the end-of-expansion-content-drought
Where all raids will drop the same ilvl gear
And the m+ dungeon pool gets changed to the 3 mega dungeons, karazhan, mechagon and tazavesh + 2 "new" dungeons from wod
I couldnt find any info on m+ part thats why im asking here since you nerds always squeeze out info
Bro you got me tripping. Im watching better call saul right now
Train dungeon was the worst dungeon that could have been picked
Still better than the train dungeon from wod
Take it like this, with choosing this awful dungeon in s4, we won't see it in Dragonflight
200iq move
