but yes

#

being prot is not helping unfortunately

#

people are stupid and hate us for no reason

chilly brook
#

But it’s not that you’re actually inting by being prot

#

It’s just people being brain dead

chrome falcon
modern brook
#

I wouldn't invite a prot warrior we wouldn't need 2 smh

cinder storm
#

with prot people need to play better and they dont want to

torn plaza
#

Tbh i don't really know how to find a group, everyone in the 25 range is looking for a bdk, hpriest, lock, sv, ww...

#

or at least it seems like this

cinder storm
#

you can create your own key, add people that you like or you think might like you

#

have like 2 healers and 5-6 dps then build a group out of the best of those

chilly brook
#

Create a community

#

Invite good players to it

cinder storm
#

or you can sit in lfg and post yourself as a tank that is looking for a grp

chilly brook
#

If you keep running with the same people

#

Start seeing about making it an actual push group

torn plaza
#

So yeah no shortcut I guess.. Ty !

odd tree
#

try the Mythic Plus Friends discord. easy enough to post your raider.io profile and find a push group.

brittle owl
#

with how few people are playing

#

gotta start getting friends

#

for high keys

chrome falcon
#

same problem that no-one likes prot though

brittle owl
#

well idk

chrome falcon
#

gotta prove yourself to these people first

brittle owl
#

get less shitty friends

#

it's not the io score that matters after all

#

it's the friends you make along the way

odd tree
#

but there is still this stigma, even around the 19/20 key lvl where i'm currently playing

chrome falcon
#

because those friends get you more io score next season

#

i have people in my guild who think prot warrior is dogshit and won't pug them even though they've seen me blast on it

#

people are just dumb

low kindle
#

omg, how do you not rip aggro from the other tank in p4 lol

blazing condor
#

Never raided this tier what makes jailer take hella damage during execute

chrome falcon
#

nothing

#

on the specific image sense linked

#

but you get a damage buff sometimes

urban portal
#

he just crit twice

chrome falcon
#

but mostly, our execute actually just hits that hard

urban portal
#

yea

chrome falcon
#

and has 55%+ crit chance

shut summit
#

yea this was no dmg buff or anything

#

just slammin

chrome falcon
blazing condor
#

I mean yeah execute trucks but the jailer execute phase is usually way higher for us than other bosses

urban portal
#

slam on prot garms

blazing condor
#

Leading me to wonder if theres any mechanic that buffs

chrome falcon
chrome falcon
#

on mythic the damage buff works differently and isn't necessarily always up when jailer is below 20%

strong forum
#

jailer just has a giga long execute phase

#

so we just ultra ramp

chrome falcon
#

yeah jailer's execute phase is like

#

28% of his total hp or something

#

it was more before the nerf

toxic pewter
#

will veiled augment rune still be the best rune for season 4

do you lose azeroth's boon in p4?

#

runes never get updated

toxic pewter
#

Ok good

strong forum
#

during an expansion

#

its always the same rune

toxic pewter
#

yes thats what I was thinking

#

bout to get exalted with enlightened finally gonna have the infinite one but is it even worth it its 45k

#

1 rune is like 100

#

yeah i guess ill use it more than 450 times

ocean yoke
#

only 1 bag slot too

toxic pewter
#

yes true

cobalt seal
#

Imagine if instead you got your runes from mission table

#

Free 45k

toxic pewter
#

thats actually good point

#

is the infinite rune a gimmick/scam?

#

also side note- anyone on area 52 give me 45k?

sweet summit
#

giga worth

#

love infinite runes

strong forum
#

infinite rune is worth if you play alot

sweet summit
#

makes raidlogging a lot easier peepo

toxic pewter
#

how much gold am i missing out by not doing mission table becaues im lazy

sweet summit
#

depends on how many characters you could do

chrome falcon
#

quite a lot though over the course of an expansion

toxic pewter
#

do you guys do the mission table?

sweet summit
#

no peepo

toxic pewter
#

I know there are addons that like all I have to do is click a button right lol

sweet summit
#

venture plan has that iirc

cobalt seal

You need a second one

toxic pewter
#

with execute buff, ashen juggernaut is the pick every week, for sure, right?

blazing condor
#

I used the rune buff thing from that rare mob in MoP all the way through BFA

toxic pewter
#

of the top 50 prot warrs, 24 are running show of force, its more popular than ashen

chilly brook
#

Bruv

median tulip
chilly brook
#

Just because they’re running it

#

Doesn’t mean it’s better

toxic pewter
#

40 running necro 8 kyrian

chilly brook
#

Ashen is literally better than show of force

toxic pewter
#

my point is the top 50 prot warrs in the world. More are running show of force than ashen exactly at this time and place.

chilly brook
#

People are STILL running Codex

#

It’s shit

toxic pewter
#

we need to displace these supposed prot warriors

#

brb climbing

#

they must be pulling like crazy large packs where show of force is actually better

chilly brook
#

Doubtful

cinder storm
#

there are many people who climb because they play with meta specs, or the people they play have a strong grasp of the dungeon, routes and timings.

chilly brook
#

^

toxic pewter
#

I just still am confused

chilly brook
#

You don’t have to be a good tank to even have high score

#

Tbh

cinder storm
#

^

toxic pewter
#

So how do we measure who is best

cinder storm
#

just good friends

toxic pewter
#

I guess logs?

jagged pier
#

whats your point?

toxic pewter
#

Why are the top prot warriors, those that indirectly represent us all on the main stage of the world, running things that are not good

chilly brook
#

This is like the appeal to authority fallacy in action…..

toxic pewter
#

They must run what is best to better their chances of success

#

What don't you get about that?

chilly brook
#

No

#

No they don’t

minor helm
toxic pewter
#

Yes. That is why they are on top.

jagged pier
#

they dont even need to play correct

cinder storm
#

Remember Nerfclap during S1? he climbed to the top for a few weeks/days in a matter of a week or two because of his team

minor helm
#

They have nothing to do with each other

chilly brook
#

This man has to be trolling

jagged pier
#

one of the top warriors has 60% blocked hits with HR and rep

chrome falcon
#

i mean

#

yes

chilly brook
#

Like every day he says the dumbest shit

toxic pewter
#

Listen- they are on top, pushing the hardest content there is. They have to be min maxing at that point. What don't you get about this?

chrome falcon
#

we know he is

hazy edge
toxic pewter
#

No I agree they are wrong

#

I am just confused as hell

#

I am not trolling

chrome falcon
#

how many times a day on average

#

do you have to tell us you're not trolling

hazy edge
#

They get baited by things just like the rest of the population of wow

chrome falcon
#

and what does that tell you

toxic pewter
#

I am actually confused by it all. Entire discord says codex is bad - 28 of the top warriors running it

#

how is that me trolling

#

I am point out facts

wild sandal
#

does the spear in SOA disappear if one die

chrome falcon
#

no

cinder storm
#

I keep finding pugs doing zdps or doing dps that you find in people doing 15s-20s, at the highest level, its about coordination, stun rotation, cd management

chilly brook
chrome falcon
#

those top tanks

cinder storm
#

they can have better gear and trinkets and rotation, but those tanks are also 70% carried by their god teammates

chrome falcon
#

are also playing all the other specs

#

where codex is good

strong forum
#

"top"

hazy edge
#

And either don't listen to the TCs who put in hours of work and do maths to figure it out, or sit in their own bubble and feelcraft everything

chrome falcon
#

so they just assume it's good on prot too

chilly brook
toxic pewter
#

I guess I am just confused we even got execute buff.. they are literally running SHOW OF FORCE THIS ISNT ME TROLLING I WILL LINK YOU

#

THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT WENT DWARF

#

FFS

strong forum
#

sof is still good tho

chrome falcon
#

"good"

toxic pewter
#

that is why I asked if I am missing something

chilly brook
#

What is your point…..

#

SoF is worse than Ashen

jagged pier
#

well and with how often some of them press TC might actually be good

toxic pewter
#

But codex is simply bad

cinder storm
#

burn

toxic pewter
#

I get that

#

this isnt about codex

strong forum
#

sof is a solid 2-300dps

toxic pewter
#

i asked about sof

strong forum
#

aj doesnt provide alot of value on trash mostly on bosses

#

and its a fort week

toxic pewter
#

Right but even with the buff to exe

#

is SOF stil lthe pick on fort

strong forum
#

id say yes

chilly brook
strong forum
#

OFC YOU ARE

chilly brook
#

Regardless

strong forum
#

but how much dps do you gain from on trash mobs from getting 3-4 stacks of AJ

#

vs perma value from sof on trash

chilly brook
#

SoF/ashen isn’t gonna be a difference maker in keys

#

It’s focusing on things that legit don’t matter

strong forum
#

its not but its worth noting

shut summit
#

I legit still lose threat in aoe, it's minor but sof does help there, but the difference between the 2 ain't gonna matter much

strong forum
#

that neither conduit is bad to run

toxic pewter
#

I think SOF is the pick on fort

chilly brook
#

I think it doesn’t matter

#

And if you think it matters

toxic pewter
#

yeah true it doesnt matter much prob

chilly brook
#

You have more important things to worry about

toxic pewter
#

That is true

shut summit
#

Definitely aj for tyran, doesn't matter between 2 for fort

strong forum
#

the point we've been making for the several past expansions is

#

that just because someone is "high io"

#

doesnt mean theyre correct in what theyre doing

#

or spent as many braincells figuring the shit out as the TCs

chilly brook
#

You can do top without pressing shield block

toxic pewter
#

Ok and I am understanding that more each time I bring something like this Up . I realize it sounds like I am trolling but it appears I am one that looks at 'the top' and takes from them certain assumptions. I am realizing that is incorrect.

jagged pier
#

no its because the first few times in here u did legit just troll

toxic pewter
#

I am not a troll

cobalt seal
#

Sure

#

And Im not toxic

blazing condor
#

be nice medge

chilly brook
#

And I’m not a dick

toxic pewter
#

i acknowledge some things i have said are controversial. i will work on that as well to cease

blazing condor
#

i mean controversial =/= bad

#

don't be afraid to say stuff you aren't sure of or wondering even if it might be a "bad" opinion

#

as long as youre not intentionally trying to get a rise out of people

#

for the hell of it

strong forum
#

gotta keep in mind, that the pwar ladder doesnt have alot of competition from ACTUAL pushers

#

gotta keep that closely in min

toxic pewter
#

So like why the hell are there not ACTUAL pushers. we are so damn strong

strong forum
#

perception

toxic pewter
#

is it the APM? people turned off by it??

strong forum
#

nobody having a geared warrior

jagged pier
#

and ppl that have geared warriors dont push

toxic pewter
#

Like do people not want to press that many buttons or wat

blazing condor
#

more factors than just individual tank strength but mostly its just "pwarr is bad because....they just are"

toxic pewter
#

but we arent though

blazing condor
#

public perception says we are

strong forum
#

we arent but try to convince someone of that

toxic pewter
#

We need 1 BIG PUSHER

strong forum
#

yes

toxic pewter
#

to come out and make it happen

#

who will it be

blazing condor
#

i might have to start playing again then

#

😎

toxic pewter
#

somebody do it already

strong forum
#

andy has had started to gear his warri

toxic pewter

because we are so underrated its not even funny

but currently hes slowly starting to burn out of keys

toxic pewter

yes can Andy do it already

#

damn

cinder storm
#

I m going to release about 20% of my power to make it happen

We need to go on a marketing blitz

#

gotta get the word out PROT WARR IS HERE. AND WE ARE STRONGER THAN EVER

strong forum

our best shot currently is just sense

cobalt seal

Why does it matter

If warrior is there

#

People that want to play warrior

#

Play it

shut summit
#

We started getting to 28s and already getting tired of keys...

toxic pewter

Because even now a prot warr who has solid sheild block usage, nice banner uptime, a great leader.... was just declined from a 17 DOS

Idk how these people do it

strong forum

yeah you gotta be real mad to push keys

You need r1.

toxic pewter

We must attain the meta again. We must bring back our former glory.

Nah

toxic pewter

I will see it done.

chilly brook

I wouldn’t mind pushing keys

strong forum
#

and i am that warrior out of spite

chilly brook

But finding a group

toxic pewter

We all must push harder than ever before

as a community

cobalt seal

Lol

chilly brook

And then all the other effort for like no reward

toxic pewter
#

we will change the 'meta'

strong forum
#

alright calm down there

toxic pewter

i Believe

Truth be told there’s just no incentive to bother pushing high keys

No one here is bad, we just need better dps

And go under the radar.

@toxic pewter stop the copium/trolling

toxic pewter
#

😢

chilly brook
#

Blizz slaps the hell out of warrior on any spec anytime it’s actually good

toxic pewter
#

Yeah true being an underdog does feel good

waxen orbit
#

I unironically know someone who went top 20 IO on fire last patch who railed adderall before every key

#

Not gonna say who it is for their privacy but just saying the push is fuckin real

strong forum
#

not as uncommon as you think

waxen orbit
#

No I know, I've done it before but I'm prescribed adderall

chilly brook
#

I feel like I woulda been a monster in siege during college if I had addy

strong forum
#

i remember a famous document of a guild on advising safe adderall usage for raiding

#

back in wod or mop

waxen orbit
#

Please send

strong forum
#

its been years since ive seen that

waxen orbit
#

Nothing new for a world firster/top ranker/pusher to abuse prescriptions but definitely an interesting facet of the M+ community

#

Blood Legion

Cata

chilly brook
#

The things people do to themselves…..

#

Yikes

waxen orbit
#

First I want to say that alot of people are really handling this poorly, and their poor planning and overall lack of flexibility in their diet during progression has cost us alot of time, and with shitka finishing just an hour or so behind us last tier its important to minimize time wasted.

#

If you plan on taking Adderall or some sort of amphetamine or amphetamine-derivative at any point, you need to make an extra effort to stay hydrated and properly fed. CNS stimulants of this sort speed metabolism and suppress appetite, which means that the tendancy is to "burn" more energy and take in less.

waxen orbit
chilly brook
#

I just don’t get it

#

Like sure raiding is fun

#

It’s not that fun

strong forum
#

it was literally the only thing the game had to offer prior to legion

#

besides obv much better pvp aswell

mighty valley
#

it would be better to say "hey don't take unprescribed amphetamines to play a video game" but honestly telling people who are gonna do it anyway to try and be safe is better than pretending no one's gonna

#

the most objectionable part of this to me is the 10 minute meal break lol

strong forum
#

tbf

#

when im going hard

#

i hate nothing more than taking breaks

chrome falcon
#

i also hate breaks but they're necessary

mighty valley
#

sure but when you're going all day, breaks are good for the brain, and might as well line them up with meals

strong forum
#

well yea

chrome falcon
#

when you're in the zone it sucks though

#

definitely had nights where we were getting <5% pulls

#

took a break

#

and then just p1 wipes

mighty valley
#

yeah

#

it's gonna be interesting to see how guilds react if any future raids are as long as sepulcher

#

gonna be won and lost on people management

strong forum
#

id think nobody involved was happy about the length of this tier

#

neither blizzard nor the raiders

minor helm
#

If it became habit it would die

mighty valley
#

i think it could've been exciting and cool if A) they could've estimated that it would take longer and planned around it

hazy edge
#

Blizz has already said they are going to try and prevent tiers from being as long as this sepulchur

mighty valley
#

and B) if there's a loot system that's better for the RWF without just being worse for 99% of players

#

yeah, i think it's cool to break the "ends right after the first reset" pattern

minor helm
#

Sylv died in first reset

ocean yoke
#

catalyst is great, if it was available earlier that wouldve helped it quite a bit

minor helm
#

According to max sire could have died in first reset

mighty valley
#

i don't think catalyst was a huge part of it, they would've done the same splits regardless, and gear was less make-or-break for jailer than just brains melting down

mighty valley
hazy edge
#

If Sepulchur ended around 10-11 days it would have been an amazing tier

urban portal
#

i think people predicted this

#

the boss was either balanced around 4p/double leggos, meaning you cant clear until week 3

hazy edge
#

Yeah

strong forum
#

100%

urban portal
#

or balanced around no double leggos which will then be a joke for 90% of the players

hazy edge
#

double leggos needed to be available mythic week 1

#

and things would have been a lot better

urban portal
#

yeah

#

cov leggos were available week 1

#

in 9.1

#

that was nice

hazy edge
#

can't do mythic week 2 cause if the fights weren't tuned well, then NA would just destroy on reset and the "16 hour head start" would actually have mattered

jagged pier
#

it has to ither be day before reset or around 10 days

#

so the 16 hours doesnt reall matter

#

and if its before reset its usually eu that kill it because they havnt been held up with boss changes and tuning etc

#

which US does

#

they loose hours to that

hazy edge
#

Yup

chrome falcon
#

tbf

#

even if it was balanced "around" not having that stuff

#

those were still mechanics fights

#

and fucking hard ones

hazy edge
#

the "16 hours" usually ends up being closer to 6-8 because of maintenance

hazy edge
chrome falcon
#

10 more ilvls probably cuts halondrus prog by like

#

50 pulls

#

not much at all

jagged pier
#

well yer no one expected halondrus

#

but tbf at the base the mechanics are all very very simple

#

but together

#

they were a monster of a fight

chrome falcon
#

jailer too though

#

not really a gear fight at all just very hard to figure the strat mechanically

jagged pier
#

yer but they usually expect the last fight to be several 100 pulls

#

not 7/11

#

and 8/11

#

and 9/11 and 10/11

#

to be all 100+ pulls

hazy edge
#

9 and 10 were sub 200 for most of the top 5 iirc

#

pretty sure rygalon was sub 100 for a few of them as well

#

but yeah anduin and halondrus were HARD checks

mighty valley
#

still blizzard clearly thinks they overshot since this is the most nerfed raid in recent history

jagged pier
#

well when u dont have to play around making a strat they are less

hazy edge
#

True

jagged pier
#

like both limit and echo pulls rygelon before it got nerfed right

dark lark
#

It looked very well tuned though

hazy edge
#

Rygalon was very well tuned as a penultimate boss

#

The only thing that kinda stained it, was the timer "bug" that added quite a few wipes to Liquid's prog

dark lark
#

The one that shifted the spell queue by 6 seconds right

hazy edge
#

Yeah

#

It added like 60 pulls to Liquid's prog or something

#

They had a giga low % wipe because of it, that would have been a kill if it wasn't for the bug

dark lark
#

Yeah I remember

#

All the same, that was an exciting boss to watch

hazy edge
#

Yup

blazing condor
#

It's not +2%

Its 2% increased gain

So it's crit X 1.02%

For every 100 crit rating you instead get 102 as human

Are there any stuns for a tank that human would be good for? All I can think of is like 2nd boss Halls. I went human, and as a dps it's kind of more useful than as a tank imo.

Draenei gets perma Str and a hot
Whereas mechagnome gets a ramping Str buff and has a smol cheat death

Mechagnome is more for dps. I suppose the auto-heal is kinda nice. The clones act like fade, clones goto the top of the list but you can out-threat them if you keep attacking.

Doesn't draenei get more Str than mecba

its good because you can use it on your self or others, fits naturally into any healer kit

But even then stacks drop by 1 per 10s

Or w/e the duration is.

says 4 primary

potent anvil
#

They both seem close assuming sims are correct. I'm human for reference.

sick sentinel
#

"This decays at the same rate it generates, meaning that it will actually be possibly to go from one enemy to another without the buff fully decaying. In a fast paced dungeon you might very well keep it up with near 100% uptime at ten stacks. Pretty powerful all things considered, the only real drawback is it does limit your opening burst for stuff like hunters, mages, and rogues."

potent anvil
#

It decays 1 stack per, so I guess they changed it to 5s. I thought it was 10s.

#

Yeah

#

I would probably consider mechagnome just for the QoL racials. Being able to craft whereever, auto heal, and a pseudo-fade ability (mostly as dps, might have some niche tank uses).

I really like Plaguefall. Especially if you have a purge in the party. We can spell reflect Slime Injection, first boss, is cake with a Monk, Hunter or Druid. Third boss is chips with Heroic Leap, Charge and Intervene. Last boss is just around fun mechanically. I only wish you spent more time dodging tentacles while also fighting the boss.

No trash in that dungeon is difficult in my opinion.

+16 at the moment. Will be pushing next week.

First boss is a monster on tyr weeks with suboptimal comps

Spires is the worst dungeon for me personally. So much magic damage. If someone uses the spear in the wrong place, you'll get slapped by insideous venom.

True, it just doesn't always work out. It's easier if you spear the Goliath + Patrol pack then I can SR the first cast after the spear ends.

In low keys you can just soak thrust

Other than watching the cast. Which can be tricky sometimes with managing the Gorgons.

At +16 with 267 iLvl. I wouldn't try to soak a deadly Thrust. It does 80% of my health.

Then again, I've not sat there and tested the exact damage, just know my health disappears fast if I get hit by it. Typically avoid it whether it'll hurt me or not.

Prot has been dealing with a negative perception since the beginning of Shadowlands. We got slapped hard when we lost Azerite abilities and it's easy for Blood DK to scale compared to Prot.

I think the cap on Ignore Pain is too low. It'd be nice if we could cap it out at 70% of our health instead of the 21k it is now. Often that's one or two hits and it's gone for 80 - 120 rage in cost. 🙃
