2 trinkets do i want as a fresh prot warr
Scale, soleahs, opc, phial, afe are all good trinkets
yeah
if you're just starting though a stat stick+a giant absorb will be good while learning
Not taking Urh won't wipe you..... but it's just not optimal is all.
is there a WA tracker for ignore pain that anyone here uses?
I didn’t really find a use for it because I was constantly pressing IP regardless of how much of a shield I had remaining
I just have a bar that shows me the time and “absorb” value from AfenarsUI but I don’t pay attention to it really
theres no actual information to be gathered by tracking IP outside very niche tankbuster scenarios
i have just a tiny text based WA not even displaying the duration on it, cuz IP is impossible to run out due to how much we spam it
but 99% of the time you dont care about IPs state
IP is ither up
or down
doesnt matter ither way
i mean tbf if you play correctly with 4pc its just up most of the time anyways
yeah, i tried to track IP before as well, but its just pointless information, you gain so much rage that you won't do anything useful with that info
yeah
whether or not IP is up is not relevant
you still press IP even if it's up
it was somewhat useful in legion when IP was good

only time ive really had to pay attention to min/max IP absorb was pre-nerf jailer dot
cuz that shit slapped
we're pretty much 100% copying what you did sense and i'm really enjoying the uh
6th? tank blast
the one you have to run back during beyblades
very fun
🙃
yea super fun
yeah guys don't mind me just sitting in the middle of a storm of beyblades channeling fleshcraft
i'm fine

Shield block uptime is hard.... Will this get easier as I get more haste?
Only 250 ilvl right now
do u have repsial?
Yeah
then not really
Sadge
it comes from playing alot more than haste
I guess I need to get better at jumping out and charging back in
might not even be that might not be pressing it as much as u think
but cant tell without logs
people were managing with 26 ilvl lower than that and no urh
somehow
you don't need to "jump out" to charge in with reprisal though
just backpedal away from a caster
or something stunned
ezpz
I get worried I'm gonna charge through the pack and get instagibbed from the back
i mean you might back-tank like one melee
not the end of the world unless you're going high keys
Are you looking at shield block uptime or % blocked hits? I think the latter is more informative…
To be honest, just make practice. At first maybe you will fuck up, but eventually you will learn on how to target fast. and you can just charge the mobs that are on the external sides of the pack
or just use shockwave and charge back 
yes
Is there a max?
i think there is a limit of like 18 or 25sec
but you won't reach those numbers unless you play bolster
Can u macro like a charge/clap/intervene/charge 😂
and there isn't really a point to have that much block duration at the same time
/ castsequence 
Lololol
just keybind them lol
wtf is this tank doing
he is starting to believe uses castsequence
How's prot looking for Season 4?
you can but please don’t
You’ll overcap rage and waste revenge procs
Also if you’re opening a pack with clap that’s cringe
sorry im noob
prepull: ravager>banner then charge>ava>ss>revenge>revenge>DS
and IP in between to not overcap
revenge even with cost?
Hell yeah brother
yes
shouldnt i be IP and shield block priority
you should spend the majority of your rage on revenge
ofc keep up SB
IP is ONLY for not overcapping
Have fun doing 6k dps if you only use free revenge
i only do 1.5k dps atm
Lmao

Ip is for stinkies
ok so main mitigation is keeping up sb
and then the rest is revenge
i thought IP was the main thing we use
Don't think about your resource like a dps
yup, and then IP if youre gonna overcap rage
You shield block when you need to block
IP is useless as mitigation
Revenge when you need to damage
i see i see
Ip to maintain efficiency
so most of the mitigation is just from the spec being beefy and uptime on sb and avatar or something?
most of the mitigation is SB
where does demoralising shout fit into this? is it also something used infrequently or just whenever
use it on cd
Demo shout can and should be used on cd
ok
Last stand and wall should be planned
ok so theoretically if a healer never struggles i would never use those?
No
They should be planned
If you xan go through a dungeon without using them you are doing baby content way too slowly
LS is a big offensive cd since youre using the unnerving focus conduit
my rule of thumb with SW is, if you dont need it for literally the next pull, just use it
Honestly this is how it plays out
Cause am is sick af

❤️
you should log a run and let us have a look tbh
its much easier to give feedback that way
It's one of those things where we can yell the guide at you but having examples makes shit way obvious
i like the yelling
if you're tanking the first menagerie boss in taz:streets and you get gluttony, do you actively move the boss around to grab the orbs or stay still for dps?
i bring the 2nd boss to the corner to cluster up more of the orbs, i don't jump all over the room tbh
oh i think i'm misremembering which one
Also that
Tank 2nd always close to a corner
And you dont move boss to get orbs
Its already bad enough
Having the dps monkeys losing dps to go around the room getting them
does that area work?
ok you'll have to explain it differently cuz i circled a right angle lol sorry
ok cool, ya was just a sloppy circle
and er what does the corner do for us?
do the orbs get blocked?
theres some doorways in the room yes the orbs get caught in thwm
One of those 3 places
if the boss dies there
when achillite dies there do you tank the last boss anywhere special?
nearby so the dps don't have to run?
ok i'll give it a go thanks! do you go right after the boss? i've tried a couple times and it's like walking a dog that's seen a squirrel, they all want to go left and say its faster
make it easy for your melees who have gluttony to still dps the 3rd boss
you mean after 1st boss?
ya after 1st boss
oh are the skulkers and stuff that bad?
just gotta silence the ancient dread
theyre both whatever, the trash on the left used to be way worse
but they nerfed it at some point
ok
You can
unless they fail kicks i guess
Not Kick curse
yeah double ancient dread feels bad

but itll only ever be 1 cuz im kicking that first bitch
Do we think Prot is going to be decent next season as things stand? Will much change with being able to gear from all 3 raids and mechagon?
I main Guardian (and BDK when needed) but kinda wanna play prot next season as its the tank I have the most fun with. Curious what people think of it heading into S4 though
i don't think the gear will change much, which means we'll continue to be just fine
sweet, good enough for me 🙂
we are gonna be better than we are this season. big old warrior soul and shard from SoD. all tanks should really be getting better barring any balance changes. much easier to have BIS gear
I keep thinking my damage is really shitty this week and then I remember it's spiteful and I spend half the dungeon in combat running past ghosts
Is prot the most gear dependent tank?
No tank is gear dependent per se
That being said a bigger shield helps on prot war than any other tanks weapon
I should prioritise shield over any other slot? For example with spending valor and Vault?
That’s generally a correct statement
Shield gives block
one thing i have never looked out for. Do we actually keep the matery from banner if we extend for 2 mins?
u keep all effects of banner as long as u have the buff
but your teammates dont?
they do not
thank you
never have
unlucky for them
more execute for me
does this actually lead to that i kinda wanna dodge mastery on my gear? i know its an excellent defensive stat but do i really need like 800 with banner up then
its our worst stat
thats a unity recraft on chest then xD
Don't overthink it.
the chest just stares at me with its 125 mastery
yer but changing unity to chest should only matter u arent going to loose strength dropping the ilvl of the piece your moving unity off from
we care little aout secondary stats tbh
just more strength is better
i see
i remember from bfa when u had the avatar tons of mastery u crit blocked like everything
crit block is rng and was back then
If the banner does not extend its duration to your party, why aren't we going for a higher dps covenant like NF?
because necro is the highest dps covenant
In bfa you had only 10% more mastery than you do currently during banner
Roughly
Atleast in my case
So if extended the banner does more dmg than AA?
Necro is the highest dps cov, yes
do u not want perma 22% extra strength?
imma say it tho, if u cant keep banner up u aint gunna be close to those numbers tho
but if u cant keep banner up your just bad at the class
Yeah, I think I can't keep it up for more than 1m because I don't have tier set yet
But who knows, gotta start logging again
well u need at least 2 set
but we are what like 4 months into the patch should really have it by now
we presume ppl have tier
😄
a friend created a monk on wednesday hes full tier
like its rlly easy to play a couple of dungeons
and u basically only need flux then
the game is telling u something
not to fotm reroll
okay
then u wanted the no tier set experience
why do u care even then
bm has no tier
I still have only one tier after a week of dungeons 
Yeh but youre known slacker
mwahi been playing Starcraft too much waiting for alpha 
I watch sc2 matches when having breakfast, it's incredible how good it is after 12 years
Sc2 is still great to watch
Big serral fan

Harstem's my fav youtube channel atm too
we truly 10.0 waiting room now
i did an 11, sure, that went through, stopped doing keys till last night lots of death sure, but healer leaves final trash wing
fuck it probably, that's... yeah...
FotM if you Q 2s 
im gunna try that 15 dos again today, dunno why it fucked up exactly, but necrotic not getting removed fucked us alot
few scenario tried to leap away,(didnt work) i'm assuming mist monk didn't have ring ready
necrotic not getting removed is all on the tank
its a tough week if you arent prepared for it
U probably wanna leap and shockwave
t clap and run can work too
nah necrotic is a healer mechanic. my job is to not take as much damage
they just need to power through it
"Prot warrior is the best tank for Jailer MM" I was not prepared to hear that
Most of the strategy is based on Sense's PoV, big pressure 👀
just heal 5head
Pwar is defo top 2 for jailer
Cuz monk lost a good 1.5k to 2k dps cuz of his melee dmg nerf
And ofc cuz of jailers giga long execute phase
Miom
Pwarr is number one if you only look at the DPS
Though only 6 parses in last two weeks 
Well yeah, nobody has a geared pwar
Too many fotm chasers
And bdk is just inarguably strong
This tier is the worst its ever been regarding tank representation
its not just dps u loose healing orbs and stuff as well
its giga unfun
Couple that with the fact that literally only bdk brm and pwar could tank jailers melee attacks Pre-pre-nerf
Even blizz doesn't wanna acknowledge SL story
He was actually the good guy all along
They literally just wanna shush that SL ever happened
I wonder if the DF story is gonna be any good
by rushing out next expansion 
i hope they are not gonna release it this year
just do it next summer and test properly or something
That reminds me the theory that SL is just a mere dream
All of SL was just us seeing the shadowlands through frostmourne during the lich king encouter
We come back and are broken out by uther
We’re back in icc baby
Sword opened barrier that sealed dragon islands so now they comeback in DF
Very easy story fix
What sword
Did someone say…
wait theres a sword?
What sword
☝️
the writers have no idea how to close loose ends
the writers have no idea
I have no idea
i

There’s no sword in azeroth
Yeah same, what is our purpose 
Tf are you guys talking about
to do more damage than me while still no playing the game 
Yeah but thats minor purpose not big picture
🤓 umm?? The big sword caused by Sargeras that struck right through Silithus??? You know the one that started the entire Battle for Azeroth expansion??
rude 
Naww that’s always been there man you’re trippin
never heard of it
You guys should play the game more
You work all your life for money that you can spend for your dreams but then you have no time/energy to pursue those dreeams
Or you start family life and eventually retire from the shitty 9-5 job but with current economic situation thats probably not possible either


For what?
Own house? That you technically dont own because loans and land payments
For car?

Just run off with the house
Late coming in with the existential crisis
Yeah kinda bored
Buying gf
Embrace the day to day no thoughts head empty gang
Atleast there's some happiness in that
Take headphone
Music loud
Pepejam
No think only pepejam

Word brother 
Maybe ill just go to school again and get a degree in construction or something🤔
Late the bricklayer
I like dissassociating over youtube lists of events i remotely care for
Anything is better than just existing at home
That much is certain
If I were to stay at home I'd literally become a zombie
Or ready for the mental ward
Shit ain't healthy for your mental
Why would you stay at home?
So your job Nome
Job is keeping me sane, yes
Do you want to do that for the rest of your life?
Anything is better than laying bricks
So you are passionate about it ?
I care about it, to say the least, but obv if I had the choice of having no money problems ever and doing w/e the fuck I want I'd choose that

But reality doesn't work like that often times, I'm content with my job, keeps me busy.
Whenever I had 3 weeks vacation I'd just rot away for 1.5 weeks
So I just don't take vacation for that long periods anymore
I mean realistically what is stopping you from just going after what you really want to do? Or is it something that you cant do without money or wont earn you money?
☝️
Already am one :)
inflation 👀
My wage increases more per year than inflation

And I'm applying for higher position soon
lucky
X to doubt
So I get more moneyz
It's factual :)
So you are getting 10% raise every year?
Have you paid attention to where its now 
Nome is hakuna matataing
Ok so is your apartment rent controlled or can the price go up?
Bing chilling
My rent didn't increase in 4 years

damn
Wait what
i'm n1 critcake fan
rent control?

And only halfway through the year 
I need to move to the no rent go up place
guys is it wrong to press Ignore pain to keep banner up?
Use IP freely
When I was living in an apartment with my gf it went from 990 to 1200 by the time our second lease was up

You need to spend fuckloads of rage
To not overcap
Keeping up Banner is your almost highest priority
u overcap IP to keep banner up
yeah i mean sometimes revenge and shield block are not enough to keep the banner going so i just put it in IP
and since your last suggestion i am not using my 4 piece on thunder clap
but if its a big pack should i start with avaatar clap for surge of aggro
ok i think i'm getting better at this whole protection warrior thing

i tanked +21 this week and surprisngly warrior takes no damage
why is it not more popular
Cuz people dumb

And you have content creators like the gold guardian gang spout that pwar sucks
So people just blindly accept that as a reality
i can't wait to get +270
so i can do big dam with execute
enjoying warrior a lot, the packs i struggled in with my paladin i just face tank with my warrior and my hp barely falls
Dont think there’s any wrong with using your first avatar outburst on tc when you pop on a new pack
Really any content creator. Maybe one of the tank content craters has a different view but most YouTubers just go pwar is weak to magic ergo bad
no flames is bae
actually plays them all
goes to the discords to get information
and is playing pwarrior right now
I’ve never heard of flames but shit as long as he’s getting all the actual info and trying it out then he’s doing more than many others
i dont know a single (wow) youtube content creator that does content or presents result i would be interested in
and every pre patch tier list or w/e u wanna call it is the biggest bait out there
but i think my damage is low
as a tank
altough i go out to reset my stacks this week
What ilvl were you again?
Yeah it’s pretty low
its not low your dmg 😄
i mean it kinda depends on quite many things
u dont have 4 set u said right?
i do
post log
and its tyranical plus u had ppl doing more dmg than they should
couz premade group?
but my overall falls down a bit due to spiteful
i need to download a software right?
"more damage than they should" is a weird phrase
i mean i just checked
they went 17 hoa or w/e
and u run double hunter ww on it
that means u are lucky if u get a single reflect on shard pulls
in other words the ordinary 17 hoa does not contain 3 ppl doing 20 k
i got 4 set this week and this week adds die fast and i have to kite to drop stacks
so how can anyone ever judge apart from having a look at logs
fucking reroll your vulpera
into a dwarf
yes if u dont perma chain u will lose banner between pulls on low key
but i like my vulpera 😦
yes i am going to do a +20 necrotic now to see how i perform
get a log
idk how
someone post the jakey copy pasta
How do i log ?
So, if you have been here for a while, you may have noticed that whenever somebody ask for advice we ask them for a log, and if you’re new you might have no idea what that means or how to get one so :
🔸 First, download Loggerhead (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/loggerhead) or ERT (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/exorsus-raid-tools)
Once you have one of these any time you enter a zone where you might want a log (ie dungeon/raid/torghast) these addons will automatically start logging (in the case of ERT you have to activate automated logging in the options).
Alternatively if you don’t want to install an addon for it, whenever you are going to do an activity you want to log type /combatlog in chat to start logging said activity.
Remember to activate advanced logging in the options (System -> Network -> Advanced Combat Logging)
All these options will store your logs in your wow file inside the retail folder and the log file.
🔸 Second, go here (https://www.warcraftlogs.com/client/download) download the client. Select the live section of the client, select the upload a log button and select the fight you’re interested in putting up as a log and boom you’re done.
🔸 Third, once you’ve done all this, your log is uploaded you can put it up here and we can look at it together to see if you’re doing something wrong.
If you wish look at your own log Jakey made a nice little video explaining what we look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1tRp8lULT8
Just a quick guide of the few big things you should look at when reviewing logs as a prot warrior. Hopefully you find it useful :)
Get started with logging yourself - https://www.warcraftlogs.com/help/start
ok i will log my next run
sounds like me i will finish my project this week copium
Is there twice

a lot of echo in here
posted a prot warrior log in #449510248579858432
People have this mindset of the dream job that ultimately does not exist for 99% of them. I got a lot of shit for having a 9-5 from people that couldn't pay rent cause they were chasing their artistic dreams
"just follow your dreams bro, we all are gonna make it"
wagmi
would rather wagecuck 40 hours a week and spend the rest of the time doing something i enjoy
than not being sure where my next paycheck is going to be from following my dreams
yeah, you always hear the success stories of people that left a CEO position to become a successful yoga teacher, but those stories are 0.1% of those that try
only about 3% of people ever try to get to that level or even respond positively to an unknown invite
Yeah no this is wrong
If the rest of your group is all doing good damage
That should inflate your DPS
This is a gameplay issue
Heroic Jailer 1st time tonight. Once you've taken the 1st hit of tank combo, and 2nd tank has taunted, do you still share the 3rd one with everyone ?
yes, people need to soak the circle
even the tank wiht massive vulnerability debuff ?
you can't move out of it, you're locked in place
okay, problem solved
it doesn't really matter when your cotank taunts, the whole combo is cast on your location regardless
👍
no that statement is very wrong sir particularly on a spiteful week

Spiteful is another thing that inflates your damage
Lmfao
Literally free banner uptime and pad
what kind of pad tho
Pad
They're going to spawn while you're killing a pack like what lmao
ye u wish
and if your group is doing too good dmg on a 17 hoa u finish the first pull (shard pull usually) in 20-30 seconds
and u tell me this helps u to keep banner up lmao
ok
Respectfully this is asinine
kinda senseless to discuss anymore we have fundamental different understandings towards m+ it seems thank you for your opinion
Warrior benefits from chainpulling so ideally you want to always stay in combat
do you guys change soulbinds to the weekly affix's ?
okay, so its affix ghosts and relics and boss spawned adds don't hit for necrotic correct?
No to both of you
those ghosts are suiciders too, they bleed out and die in either 12 or 13 seconds
so, if you have free reign to run around (dealer DOS) you can just kite them as group and they eventually go away on own, no threat
okay similar question - do you change trinkets then to the weekly affix ?
more defensive if necrotic ?
depends
I use phial on tyr and opc on fort and that's about all I change.
I used to run a cheat death trinket, which is pretty useless on necrotic since you get no healing from it and will simply die to the next melee
Necrotic is a non-affix these days, shouldnt change anything to work around it
Just take a few steps back when you have to reset
on fort you can use any good AOE dmg or stat trinket even ST trinkets are fine, cuz there are problem mobs u have to delete before they become big problem
Spiteful certainly does not inflate your damage
It depresses it
You run past them but are locked in combat
Spites Are more mobs, more mobs=more dmg
spires is giga free
You're not just wailing on spiteful unless you're an idiot or in the mists maze
No youre ideally on the next pack long before then
Being "locked in combat" isnt an argument since you wanna stay in combat anyway as necro
Sure, but most dungeons have forced downtime anyways
ToP and DOS have such long runs between a lot of pulls
Which means more dps
Forced downtime is minimal if you chain pull
they are only a pain in ass if ppl don't know how to run away and or attack them
its also alot less if you can get the bastards to spawn in the correct position or go to the correct position so everyone can then AOE them, and then that actually happends
I'm not saying they're hard, I'm just saying they're going to make your overall damage look lower because they extend combat in situations you can't chain
we can all agree its very satisfying to see group of like 8 of those ghosts pops up after kill non elite pack patrol and then take em out
The mass slime pull in PF is hilarious for that
Theres no way you have lower dps on spiteful unless youre doing something wrong
starts nuking anyone it can from satelite orbit system, 2.9km away
Spiteful is straight up extra 2k overall dps
I see this as the exact opposite
No way
You're not hitting those shits
In dungeons where you have bunch of packs where not everything is the same hp ofc you will hit them
what your SUPPOSED to do about em is have like a mage or druid that does mass roots or frost nova and then snare the ghosts away, everyone focuses on the actual monsters anway
You will cleave as tank always so you passively will hit spitefuls
Its the same with dps too
There are fewer pulls with drastically different health pools this xpac in general and those that do, usually you're looking for a way to skip
Except in like wake and halls
the guy on the bull in theatre of pain, start of the dungeon, he can be tricky, or that pack can be
Ardwnweald has bunch of them
tricky pull to do correctly, can be
All dungeons have packs with different hp amounts
^
So ofc youre gonna cleave on spites
Well actually mista is probably closest hp out of all
The tiernan are literally the only pull in mosts where mobs aren't dying close together
Even then you have prio targets
But every pack has 2x higher hp and 2x lower casters
Jailer : when exactly do you taunt during the tank combo ? I can only see one martyrdom cast, not 3 different spells
I just taunt when the big circle spawns
But mists you have to pad on spites anyways
Not too imprtant i think
To drop combat
is that some of that bullshit where like, on queen aszhara it would apply tank stacks in what was it batches of 8, and you have to taunt at 24 or 32
i remember the way she applied stacks was weird, cuz you just instantly got that many after whatever the trigger is
i used to know, don't now
Per some leaks lock changes will be on S4, if we get enough pwars and band together, we can get whatever we want
We dont need anything
Yet
I mean as far as tanks go we are kinda broken
See, he's gettin' it!
My only dream is to get that TC thing that either roots or group adds
Fixed
but hear me out:
since it's a new xpac with a bit larger changes than usual, what if we're gonna get nerfed to the ground anyway?
Yeah, the set bonus slow on TC's kinda lit already

Huh what
Dont out burst tc for the slow pls
Does the set bonus increase tc slow or
Yeh 100% bonus
When I need a slow, I hit the button
No idea, hard to tell when you barely move
TIL
Isn't it supposed to be 200% increased effectiveness
It is
But it isnt 
bonegrinder scuff
Thats a sad surv
its like 240
is that hunter not geared or had a he
You running seismic?
ya was full meme run
Okay was gonna say feels like 240
Gg tho, when do we get to see 17k?
That sounds fun, except trying to find a button for ww
I was worried for a second that id have to start playing again until i saw what your group is doing 

i mean my dmg wouldve been same
kyrian do be like that
if the packs die in 10sec its bis
If your group had 2 non carry dpses your dps would not be the same
Even if you are kyrian
literally would
with kyrian your ideal dps window is like 10-15sec
and mists aligns perfect with spear CD cuz gates
so you have it for every pack
Yeah but you wont get as much damage out when your group has hands
Vs when mobs live a little
Ye its similiar but you also suffer a bit when there is competent dpses
Do that on a 22+
Also @strong forum do bonegrinder with necro and seismic
I only whirlwind and I refuse to thunderclap.
”i dont want to use thunderclap, the sound scares me”
My name actually comes from the sound Shield Slam makes 

okay so if you go bonegrinder kyrian do you also use signet to trigger it ?
like
setting weakaura to go off at 25 stacks instead of 30 seemed to help
have 15 for tomorrow IG
it changes nothing tbh
i saw the rogue applying numbing poison, so i asked him to switch to crippling instead, zero problems with necro
I know Necro week is almost over, but at about what m+ level do you guys worry about having 30 stacks?
^
40-50 ye
sounds like plaguefall slimes

problem? 
Havent played in over a week
Depends on the packs tbh, Sometimes I go up to 50
if combat drops the stacks drop
so, if they die, your safe TM
Imagine if spiteful targeted tanks 
is fine, doesnt hurt us
would prefer if it attacked tank instead of melee dps
cuz theyre just free pad
Either way only bad people tank spitefuls 
i tanked 3 spitefuls 1hr ago
The Wraithverge is one of the weapons available in HeXen and its expansion Deathkings of the Dark Citadel. This is only available to the Cleric (one of the three playable classes) and has to be collected from three pieces before the player can use it.
The Wraithverge releases four wraith spirits that automatically seek enemies, literally rippin...
spiteful in a nutshell
cuz healer + 2 boosted dps died to them

but was only 16 so they only hit for like 1k
You can block their melee anyways
exactly
if they ever re-work spiteful would love to see it like the video
where they move faster and can phase through objects
the spiteful is only scary because it doesn't chase fast
too much like pride
i didn't like reaping that much
thats the part i don't like
it can happen whenever tthe fuck or to early or too late
and then GG
yeah, and then something fucks up
Only issue with reaping was one of the casters staying far from the grp, then Blizz fixed that, they used to fix m+ a lot faster back them
I remember the sand duster pack in Seth with the void affix and the extra pack
That lasted like 3 hours
Out of all the affixs, Awakened has been my most favorite
Gave tanks a lot more control over dungeons
Busted
guys
i've seen people in high keys run adaptive armor fragment
should i do that instead of show of force in keys around 15 to 22
which sims better offensively?
i run banner and ashen juggernaut as my first and second
then aaf should be your third
ok thx
272 Thoughtcage vs 239 RDM vs 239 scale vs 252 pocket protoforge. Is thought cage that bad for us that any of those other ones would take priority?
TBH that's a list full of "meh"
yep. terrible luck with trinkets. Havent seen a scale drop since Season 1
rdm and scale are good trinkets but theyre pretty low ilvl
So'Leah's Secret Technique, Anima Field Emitter, Phial of Putrefaction, Blood-Spattered Scale
Those are basically the best trinkets. OWS and Shard are good too but the chances of you getting them this season are pretty rough
Oh and faulty countermeasures when Legion TW rolls around again
what about codex?
It's worse for us than for any other tank
To be slightly more detailed; the way codex works is to reflect damage taken, which (because we mitigate more than any other tanks) means that the effect is weak for us. In addition is has the disadvantage of being one of the few tank trinkets that doesn't give Primary Stat (Strength); it gives Stamina instead
125 Strength is a tough ask to sacrifice
AFAIK the only place its advantages outweigh its disadvantages is on Mythic Rygelon
i think its a waste and even in high keys there a better trinkets. i know ppl in high keys are using it, but i dont think even then its worth it.
thanks for the help
i main veng dh and i was thinking about rolling a prot warr for s4
so seeing codex not mentioned as a tank was a bit od
odd*
Welcome to Hard Mode
DH takes more damage, and heals it; Prot Warrior mitigates the damage, so never takes it. That's the difference with regards to that trinket
and indeed the class as a whole
i can charge with antlers now which is 95% of the fun too
yeah as veng u basically mitigate no dmg, sucks in a lot of moments when u have to kite like theres no tomorrow
There are some pulls as Prot where you take basically no damage
would i have to perma kite the dogs in soa?
wait they are cats¿?
Oh, the larions? Nah, heroic leap into one pack, throw Ravager at the other GG HF
you can block their attacks and if you fully absorb/block, you won't even get the debuff. its pretty chill to tank them as warrior
They do a debuff?
a bleed
TIL
I just facetank those things
hardest part is getting them out of stealth w/o getting stunned. then you are good to go
i saw tattman ravaging and hl into the other pack
For Warrior you just gotta know where they are for Heroic Leap and Ravager. Get that bit down and you're GTG
they are patrolling. sometimes you get unlucky and miss them. but thats also what im doing. works most of the time
The other option is a hunter with Barrage misdirects onto you and then sprays the whole room on full-auto. That works fine too xD
but most of the time you have ppl in the team that can help (hunter with flare or priest mass dispel for example)
positioning shouldnt be problem with those
as veng i just sigil of flames onto infernal strike
so its basicaly the same
Marileth is our default soulbind which has ultimate form making you immune to CC and for 2 seconds after fully completing fleshcraft
use that
do yall play kyrian to drop stacks of necrotics, im so used to blood and just popping drw and doing nothing
dwarf
you gave up the tauren sense?
stoneform too strong
leap, weslaura to remind group
very sadge
frost mage
prot war hard
only reason i'd give up cow for m+ is cuz like bosses for 1 and if trash is max stun DR'd
360 no-scope area stun... very handy against trash especially like casters groups
has extra value for me now that i can't really take storm bolt
maybe its not fog... but smoke..... smopke from dragon fire!!
is dark iron dwarf as good as normal dwarf?

Season 4 we will still have tier sets, right?
Ye

Ok that’s what I thought just making sure
New tier 
can someone explain to me how haste increases shield block uptime?
Lowers cd of shield and lowere gcd
Yes
Ha, that's what my UI should have been
Not that it's great but compared to most WOTLK UIs you see in old videos it's really not that bad haha
They're all just disgusting low res bad aspect ratio nightmares
Fair enough I still had a square aspect ratio monitor
does it say somewhere in the game? when i hover over haste it just says attack speed and spell casting speed, nothing about cd
Because some spells are hasted and some aren’t
You just have to know
Shield block cd is reduced by haste yes
ok thank you
Anyone have good uses for kul Tiran haymaker in keys?
how does one play necrolord... do you fleshcraft as a defensive mid-fight? or fleshcraft before pull? when to use banner??
Banner you want up as much as possible
Fleshcraft you can use between packs or as an emergency defensive mid combat
Goal is to have 100% banner uptime in combat
to archive 100% do u spam revenge and ignore pain? i have no problem in execute phase to keep it up 100% but i stuggle on a boss dummy and that shouldnt be a problem.
Absolutely spam revenge and IP yes
And on dummy you'll also need to use TC pretty much on CD aswell
And charge weave as much as you can
That way you should be able to keep up Banner even on dummy indefinitely
thanks. i try it
Factual
Had one of those in a 15 i did died to like 3 mobs
They got mad at me
Sorry im not a better tank boys

Pull 2 seconds before was like 3 packs but 
Healer had to pretend to do smth, what can you do 
Heroic strike 
And 1m cd on heroic throw
thanks a lot
i assume banner cd starts as soon as you use it
Ye
How strong is flashcraft compared to shield wall?
shieldwall will make u live shit while u can do stuff
FC does let u block n stuff but "roots" you and "stuns" you
20% DR for 3 sec vs 40% DR for 8sec
50 even
FC stops you in generating rage, is only 20% albeit a small heal and absorb ontop of it
It's last choice in terms of a defensive you pick
Maybe a dumb question or that has been answered 100 times already. Is there a macro to intervene closest friendly targets without mousover or putting the name in the macro (for pugs) ?
I just could never imagine hitting target dummies at lvl 60 unironically for more than 5 minutes on randomly spawned turnip
always prefer just try and see if we can
No, there's no such thing as automatically target closest friendly player
I need to get the turnip
There's a keybind for it in the default keybind settings
But idk how to put it into macro, nor should u use it
target dummy is prob the best way to learn a rotation
whack it for as long as it takes you to get into a +/-5% band of your sims
then you're g2g
it's just boring to me and rather go do real Content instead
Dummy is the best thing you can do to practice your spec
virgin impatient player vs chad grind and shine warlord
hey now... I may be a virgin and impatient..... what was that last thing you said about me?
