Yeah, I think I'm trying to cast too much revenge and not saving enough rage for shield block

chrome falcon
#

hm

#

you should be able to spam revenge like a madman

#

and still have enough for shield block

#

you should be generating like 1k rage per minute in combat

#

but remember to always SS over revenge

#

and yeah keeping up SB is literally your #1 priority

#

at all times

#

if you're being meleed

#

also you don't need rage to shield block anyway, remember to proc reprisal as much as you can

chrome falcon
#

but i really recommend logging your next run/runs

#

oh

#

that works

upbeat raft
#

yeah, I did a spires 18 last night, that's probably typical of what I'm doing.

wheat shadow
upbeat raft
#

I think we missed some important interrupts there, too, so that was bad

wheat shadow
#

Especially if you don't SR it

narrow fog
#

Guys, is it wise to go tank when I return for the next xpac?

chrome falcon
#

you didn't waste a TON of rage, but probably a bit more than you should

#

but your CPM is low

narrow fog
#

As in, on the start of the new xpac...

chrome falcon
#

lowlowlow

#

you have 9.5 CPM on shield slam, so not even 10 casts per minute

#

but SS should have like a 6 second cooldown

#

so even without a SS proc, 10 CPM is the absolute minimum

upbeat raft
#

uhhhhhh.... in game, my shield block says "11 second recharge"?

chrome falcon
#

and considering SS procs, you should be closer to 15 CPM than 10

#

year sorry

#

i mistyped

#

shield slam

#

not block

upbeat raft
#

oh, yeah, 6.5s CD on shield slam

chrome falcon
#

yeah

upbeat raft
#

but it gets tons of resets from revenge and devastate and stuff

chrome falcon
#

so 9.5 CPM is what you would expect if you literally couldn't reset the proc

#

so this means you're missing a TON of SS reset casts

upbeat raft
#

so I should easily be able to get more SS casts per minute

chrome falcon
#

yeah

upbeat raft
#

ahhhhhhh

chrome falcon
#

sometimes you've already hit revenge and you can't react in time which happens to everyone but

#

you need need need more SS

#

you also cast intervene 5 times in the entire key

upbeat raft
#

I sometimes prioritize revenge over SS when I'm like "i feel like I have enough rage right now, so I'll do some extra damage"

#

I guess that thought was flawed

chrome falcon
#

with reprisal, intervene literally becomes a 30 second CD that gives you 20 rage, a free revenge (that works with best served cold), and 4 seconds of shield block

#

yeah

#

very flawed

#

if you have "enough rage"

#

press IP

#

and shield slam

upbeat raft
#

lol

#

yeah, I'll try that. Thanks very much for the advice

chrome falcon
#

also

#

you have 2 melee

#

so you literally just

#

at the start of the key

#

macro intervene onto one of them

#

and now your intervene is literally just press on CD

#

for free rage and shield block and revenge

#

you had 5 casts when you could have had like

#

60

upbeat raft
#

oh, that makes sense. I dunno why I never thought to macro it

chrome falcon
#

yeah

wheat shadow
#

Don't even have to macro to a specific person since you can't always rely on that, just have a mouseover macro combined with charge to intervene to friendly targets

chrome falcon
#

^ have both

#

it will take longer and take more effort to mouseover press it on someone

#

90% of the time you just press the macro that intervenes the melee

#

and then on the 10% of the time that you don't want to do that, you can mouseover

#

also, you used about 1/3rd of your outburst tier procs on thunder clap

#

which is a liiiiittle bit high

upbeat raft
#

gotcha

chrome falcon
#

your blocked hits are at 65% which is also a bit low

#

but that'll go up with better rage management and reprisal usage

#

80% is a good place to aim for

#

you cast 34 ravagers in a 42 minute key which is also probably low for a spell with a 45 second cooldown, considering urh

#

this is another rage management thing but your banner uptime is also low at 31% but again, more shield slams and more reprisals will help that

#

part of the reason for that is your last stand usage

#

those are your banner (top) and last stand (bottom) buff uptimes

#

you really want last stand to only be up during banner

#

because it makes the banner last so much longer

strong forum
#

youre barely using intervene ever

#

youre never using demo shout

chrome falcon
#

he's playing BSC

#

oh but i guess he's dying

#

so yeah

#

more demo shout if dying is a problem

strong forum
#

he should start playing BV then aswell

chrome falcon
#

also true

strong forum
#

helps with banner uptime and get more rage going

#

you used WW 3 times?

#

1 time hamstring?

#

sir we dont use those buttons

#

45 avatars in a 41min key is also absolutely horrid

#

it should be closer to 65 avatars

chrome falcon
#

solution to most of these problems is generate more rage by using last stand better, pressing more shield slams, and pressing more ravagers

strong forum
#

first thing to focus on should be block uptime and just generating more rage

chrome falcon
#

oh and press intervene on CD

strong forum
#

which entails SS, Ravager, Avatar, Demo shout with BV and Reprisal usage

#

in my 32min Spires i generated twice as much rage from reprisal alone than you did in your 41min key

chrome falcon
#

i think we might have scared him off

@strong forum @chrome falcon You didn't scare me off, but I did get distracted. Thank you for all the suggestios

chrome falcon
#

feel free to report back

upbeat raft
#

😁 💪

chrome falcon
#

was a lot of spam but ultimately main things to focus in order of priority imo:

  1. more shield block uptime
  2. more SS casts
  3. better reprisal usage (especially intervene)
  4. casting LS during banner, holding onto it if you need to
  5. go booming voice and demo shout on cooldown for better banner uptime and more rage gen so you don't die
#

and remember there's no such thing as "enough" rage, if you have a lot of rage then start spending it so you can get to your next avatar/tier set proc quicker

#

Is there any point in big pulls where it is worth using thunder clap? Or do we just never push it these days, to ensure we use the outburst on SS?

toxic pewter
#

basically always ss

#

unless theres a thousand mobs

blazing condor
#

purely numbers wise it's never worth it really

#

SS will always net more damage

toxic pewter
#

definitely want to push it for the 5 rage though

blazing condor
#

yeah you dont stop pressing TC alltogether

#

just dont use it on outburst

#

however

#

with banner and all we generate a lot of rage so sometimes the 5 rage from TC isn't worth wasting the global on cus you have so much rage anyway

#

but you still press it if you need the rage

chrome falcon
#

even though it's depressing

#

just don't waste outburst

modern brook
#

Regardless of target counts

livid dagger
#

gotcha

#

appreciate all of the info

You should be tracking outburst separately to avoid consuming on tc

I split my bars into 3 squares though (3x4), helps with tracking things as I keep all rotational stuff in the middle

Anyone is playing Venthyr in M+ as prot? Would I lose a lot if group need Venthyr? Like in HoA for gorgoyle?

#

hey matta if I post a log can you tell me why my prot struggles or should I just post in review

blazing condor
#

The correct thing is to post in log review but if you actually want feedback youre better off posting in here

blazing condor
#

Unless you explicitly say youve posted a log in log review here then chances are no one will see it

urban portal
#

You are one of the worst venthyr classes in the game

chrome falcon
#

well you're playing kyrian

#

so, step 1

#

don't do that

sweet kettle
#

ya, very fun, big damage numbers

#

but ok

chrome falcon
#

you spent 71 outbursts on shield slam

#

50 on thunderclap

#

that's like 30 too many on thunderclap

#

you're wearing codex

#

don't do that

jagged pier
#

running codex XD

chrome falcon
#

dogshit trinket

jagged pier
#

not running stalwart guardian

#

wasted rage

#

casts low

chrome falcon
#

you're casting thunder clap too much

#

and generally should be casting shield slam and revenge more

jagged pier
#

no hes not

#

Nome get at least another cast a minute

#

hes spending outburst on it too much

#

for sure

chrome falcon
#

relative to his other casts

#

i mean

jagged pier
#

no his other casts are just low

sweet kettle
#

I prioritize IP over revenege usually, if I have rage for it

chrome falcon
#

nope

#

IP is jut there

#

to stop rage capping

chrome falcon
#

ignore pain is not good mitigation

#

so

jagged pier
#

well no in retro spec

chrome falcon
#

you should prioritise revenging

jagged pier
#

hes casting TC the correct amount of time

#

but his other casts are too low

sweet kettle
#

ive noticed codex is not great, will swap out. we seem to mitigate too much for it to do much

chrome falcon
#

which means he's over-prioritising thunder clap

jagged pier
#

no

#

if he was over prioritising it, it would be his top casts

mighty valley
#

i think the biggest lesson is don't prioritize IP over revenge, more revenge will give you more SS, so more everything

jagged pier
#

as i said Nome gets around 1 more cast a min in than him

#

so is Nome over using TC?

chrome falcon
#

ok whatever this conversation is stupid

#

you're under-using reprisal too

sweet kettle
#

ok just IP to avoid rage cap? I've been trying to keep it rolling 80%+

chrome falcon
#

charge isn't too bad but

#

intervene was too low

#

no

#

IP is shit

#

it's only there to spend rage

#

you don't need "uptime" on it

#

in real content IP goes away when you get melee'd once

sweet kettle
#

lol ok

chrome falcon
#

it's just there to dump rage

mighty valley
#

i mean it adds up to doing a decent amount if you just use it to avoid overcap, it's just really inefficient, so you don't want to rage starve yourself by pressing it

chrome falcon
#

your blocked hits aren't terrible but aim for 80%

#

your rage waste also isn't terrible but should aim for lower

#

but really main thing

#

go necrolord

#

it's infinitely tankier

#

and does more damage if played vaguely correctly

#

and start casting more revenj

#

revenge = ss = rage

sweet kettle
#

aight thanks for feedback

Plz don’t play anything other than necro

sweet kettle
#

what about banner downtimes? Just limit pull sizes? Treat it like incarn or what?

chilly brook
#

No downtime

chrome falcon
#

what downtime

chilly brook
#

Just keep pulling lol

#

You can make banner last indefinitely

sweet kettle
#

hah. I can't keep it going for its full CD unless lusted vs boss

chilly brook
#

You can

chrome falcon
#

play better then, practice

chilly brook
#

If you can’t you’re making mistakes

chrome falcon
#

optimise your last stand window

#

spam reprisals

#

you don't need 100%

#

but anyone can get 70-80% with a bit of practice

#

and like

#

ok you dropped banner for like

#

30 seconds or you really fucked up and dropped it for a minute

#

no biggie really

#

trust me, go necro and just go hit a dummy until you can consistently keep it up for 90 seconds

#

start learning the opening 15 seconds with last stand and hard you need to fucking spam IP

#

i generally cast 7-9 IPs during a last stand opener

#

also

#

play the shield wall CDR conduit

#

over brutal vitality

#

brutal vit is real bad

sweet kettle
#

alright. is SW used reactively, or when you expect damage?

#

I tend to use reactively, when im in trouble

chrome falcon
#

well

urban portal
#

Both

chrome falcon
#

depends what you mean by reactively

#

if you get hit by a 50k shadowcore

sweet kettle
#

emergency cd

chrome falcon
#

and you're 30% hp

#

and you use shield wall

urban portal
#

You don’t wanna cast wall at like 10hp

chrome falcon
#

your effective hp is now 45%

#

if you cast it at 80% hp

#

your effective hp is now 120%

#

so

#

use it before the shadowcore hits you

#

like yeah, if you get chunked low and panic

#

you have to hit SW

#

but ideally you see the chunk coming and use it before you get it

#

it's just a practice/experience thing. like for example on the shadowcore packs, if most of the kicks are on CD in my party, and there's a shadowcore coming, i just press the shield wall to be safe

#

or in hoa if i get like 8 stacks of the bleed but i'm still 90% hp, i know i'm about to get trucked so i hit SW

#

you can also use it to fill a shield block gap

sweet kettle
#

ya, ya

#

true ive been doing that, or hit my scale trinket

chrome falcon
#

but tbh any time you're like "should i shield wall here?" you might as well just do it, it's 90 second CD max with necro

royal ivy
chrome falcon
#

yeah if your group needs a venthyr

#

make one of them do it

#

prot warrior is probably the spec that gets fucked hardest by going venthyr

you had 68% blocked hits which is low

# echo egret https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/qmvGYAhaWJZz84jR#fight=last I'm all ears

Besides effective shield block uptime, you could have Executed more, it's our highest prio once it comes up, and you could have used SW a LOT more. It's effectively a 45-60 sec cd. You have use it pretty liberally and have it back up very fast. You had a few Outburst procs eaten by a new one, try and prevent that as often as possible, it's fine to use Outburst on TC to prevent them getting eaten. Otherwise good job 👍

Having said that you’re competing with a resto shaman and 2 op dps classes so like 8k isn’t totally rancid

Listen to your arguments: literally do most dps, most healing, most mitigation.

chrome falcon
#

people think prot warriors do worse than other tanks because about 80% of our playerbase plays the wrong covenant, wrong talents, and does 5-6k dps

toxic pewter

And you see nothing wrong here?

we get extremely furiously frothingly mad.... to put a "lift rock mad the bad thinks go away" buff

cobalt seal

They always highest healing

#

Try again

toxic pewter
#

In mythic plus they are the top dmg tank and top healing

crude notch
#

BDK outheals healers
Lots of tanks outheal healers and BDK has to heal that much because they take so much damage. Which is ironic considering you think they take no damage.
BDK has drw 100% off the time
No they don’t. Like Nome said it’s 80-90%. If it was a problem you’d also have a problem with monks dodging as much as they do.

Summary: If BDKs mitigated as much as you’re pretending they do, they wouldn’t be outhealing the healer as much as you say they do. Your two main arguments are contradictory. The end.

If I back myself into a corner and have no rage/ss on CD/an outburst do I just rip a sad Tclap or is it worth straight waiting for SS? (I know this problem is less likely if I just manage my other stuff better but I’m learning)

potent anvil
#

Probably someone more informed than me can correct me, but I would just thunderclap. Especially if you're solely relying on a slam reset via auto's. Either that or maybe charge/intervene for rage to revenge and hope for a reset.

I think that casting something is better than auto attacking for a shield slam. But I dunno.
