Ya I guess you’re right

faint cloud
#

2 trinkets do i want as a fresh prot warr

chrome falcon
#

probably scale+soleahs

#

defensive options

hazy edge
#

Scale, soleahs, opc, phial, afe are all good trinkets

chrome falcon
#

yeah

#

if you're just starting though a stat stick+a giant absorb will be good while learning

sick sentinel
#

Not taking Urh won't wipe you..... but it's just not optimal is all.

unkempt zinc
#

is there a WA tracker for ignore pain that anyone here uses?

fallow osprey
#

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

strong forum
#

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

jagged pier
#

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

fallow osprey
#

The spell reflect sound is so nice

#

When it reflects

hollow sun
#

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

chrome falcon
#

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

chrome falcon
#

thank you jailer, very cool

lofty widget
shut summit
#

only time ive really had to pay attention to min/max IP absorb was pre-nerf jailer dot

#

cuz that shit slapped

chrome falcon
#

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

#

🙃

shut summit
#

yea super fun

chrome falcon
#

yeah guys don't mind me just sitting in the middle of a storm of beyblades channeling fleshcraft

#

i'm fine

verbal hill
#

Shield block uptime is hard.... Will this get easier as I get more haste?

#

Only 250 ilvl right now

jagged pier
#

do u have repsial?

verbal hill
#

Yeah

jagged pier
#

then not really

verbal hill
#

Sadge

jagged pier
#

it comes from playing alot more than haste

verbal hill
#

I guess I need to get better at jumping out and charging back in

jagged pier
#

might not even be that might not be pressing it as much as u think

#

but cant tell without logs

chrome falcon
#

somehow

#

you don't need to "jump out" to charge in with reprisal though

#

just backpedal away from a caster

#

or something stunned

#

ezpz

verbal hill
#

I get worried I'm gonna charge through the pack and get instagibbed from the back

chrome falcon
#

i mean you might back-tank like one melee

#

not the end of the world unless you're going high keys

fallow osprey
hollow sun
#

or just use shockwave and charge back bedge

dusty jetty
#

Does block duration stack..?

#

From the leggo

hollow sun
#

yes

dusty jetty
#

Is there a max?

hollow sun
#

i think there is a limit of like 18 or 25sec

#

but you won't reach those numbers unless you play bolster

dusty jetty
#

Can u macro like a charge/clap/intervene/charge 😂

hollow sun
#

and there isn't really a point to have that much block duration at the same time

hollow sun
dusty jetty
#

Lololol

hollow sun
#

just keybind them lol

dusty jetty
#

wtf is this tank doing

hollow sun
#

he is starting to believe uses castsequence

dusty jetty
#

Most mobile tank 2022

#

Idc if we cant fly

sick sentinel
#

How's prot looking for Season 4?

lofty widget
#

🤷‍♂️

#

if nothing changes, great!

#

but it's too early to tell

chrome falcon
#

You’ll overcap rage and waste revenge procs

#

Also if you’re opening a pack with clap that’s cringe

dusty jetty
#

ooo

#

whats the rotation

#

is it shockwave

dusty jetty
lofty widget
#

prepull: ravager>banner then charge>ava>ss>revenge>revenge>DS

#

and IP in between to not overcap

dusty jetty
#

revenge even with cost?

toxic pewter
#

Hell yeah brother

lofty widget
#

yes

dusty jetty
#

shouldnt i be IP and shield block priority

lofty widget
#

you should spend the majority of your rage on revenge

#

ofc keep up SB

#

IP is ONLY for not overcapping

chrome falcon
#

Have fun doing 6k dps if you only use free revenge

dusty jetty
#

i only do 1.5k dps atm

modern brook
#

Lmao

lofty widget
modern brook
#

Ip is for stinkies

dusty jetty
#

ok so main mitigation is keeping up sb

#

and then the rest is revenge

#

i thought IP was the main thing we use

modern brook
#

Don't think about your resource like a dps

lofty widget
#

yup, and then IP if youre gonna overcap rage

modern brook
#

You shield block when you need to block

lofty widget
#

IP is useless as mitigation

modern brook
#

Revenge when you need to damage

dusty jetty
#

i see i see

modern brook
#

Ip to maintain efficiency

dusty jetty
#

so most of the mitigation is just from the spec being beefy and uptime on sb and avatar or something?

lofty widget
#

most of the mitigation is SB

modern brook
#

Shield block and cooldowns

#

That's why it's a big deal to understand your pulls

dusty jetty
#

where does demoralising shout fit into this? is it also something used infrequently or just whenever

lofty widget
#

use it on cd

modern brook
#

Demo shout can and should be used on cd

dusty jetty
#

ok

modern brook
#

Last stand and wall should be planned

dusty jetty
#

ok so theoretically if a healer never struggles i would never use those?

modern brook
#

No

#

They should be planned

#

If you xan go through a dungeon without using them you are doing baby content way too slowly

lofty widget
dusty jetty
#

arent they more like emergency buttons

#

oh ok

modern brook
#

So like

#

In theory

#

There are no emergencies

lofty widget
#

my rule of thumb with SW is, if you dont need it for literally the next pull, just use it

modern brook
#

Cause am is sick af

lofty widget
dusty jetty
#

thanks for all your help guys btw

#

this is gud

modern brook
#

High key

#

Just log / record a key

dusty jetty
#

❤️

lofty widget
#

you should log a run and let us have a look tbh

#

its much easier to give feedback that way

modern brook
#

It's one of those things where we can yell the guide at you but having examples makes shit way obvious

dusty jetty
#

i like the yelling

fallow osprey
#

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?

cobalt seal
#

There are no orbs

#

When tanking first boss

mighty valley
#

i bring the 2nd boss to the corner to cluster up more of the orbs, i don't jump all over the room tbh

fallow osprey
#

oh i think i'm misremembering which one

cobalt seal
#

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

fallow osprey
#

does that area work?

cobalt seal
#

No

#

Literal corner

fallow osprey
#

ok you'll have to explain it differently cuz i circled a right angle lol sorry

cobalt seal
#

Left of your circle

#

Is the true corner

fallow osprey
#

ok cool, ya was just a sloppy circle

#

and er what does the corner do for us?

#

do the orbs get blocked?

cobalt seal
drifting fable
#

theres some doorways in the room yes the orbs get caught in thwm

cobalt seal
#

One of those 3 places

drifting fable
#

if the boss dies there

cobalt seal
#

Right corner is the worst of the 3

#

Somehow orbs dont get stuck

drifting fable
#

it gets like half of them

#

but yeah ive found more success on the top door

cobalt seal
#

I prefer left corner

#

Way easier to control

fallow osprey
#

when achillite dies there do you tank the last boss anywhere special?

#

nearby so the dps don't have to run?

cobalt seal
#

Somewhere near 2nd

#

But not on top of it

fallow osprey
#

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

drifting fable
#

make it easy for your melees who have gluttony to still dps the 3rd boss

fallow osprey
#

i was planning on going right because of the weekly route on raider.io is all

drifting fable
#

you mean after 1st boss?

fallow osprey
#

ya after 1st boss

drifting fable
#

i would just go left on lower keys

#

the trash is much easier to deal with

fallow osprey
#

oh are the skulkers and stuff that bad?

drifting fable
#

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

fallow osprey
#

ok

cobalt seal
#

Its not that right is bad

#

Is that left is ez as fuck

mighty valley
#

easier for randos to do accidental pulls going right

#

can't really fuck up leftr

cobalt seal
#

You can

mighty valley
#

unless they fail kicks i guess

cobalt seal
#

Not Kick curse

drifting fable
#

yeah double ancient dread feels bad

cobalt seal
drifting fable
#

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

mighty valley
#

i don't think the gear will change much, which means we'll continue to be just fine

wanton bridge
#

sweet, good enough for me 🙂

scenic mural
#

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

lavish oracle
#

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

verbal hill
#

Is prot the most gear dependent tank?

urban portal
#

No tank is gear dependent per se

#

That being said a bigger shield helps on prot war than any other tanks weapon

verbal hill
#

I should prioritise shield over any other slot? For example with spending valor and Vault?

urban portal
#

That’s generally a correct statement

blazing condor
#

Shield gives block

topaz field
#

one thing i have never looked out for. Do we actually keep the matery from banner if we extend for 2 mins?

jagged pier
#

u keep all effects of banner as long as u have the buff

topaz field
#

but your teammates dont?

jagged pier
#

they do not

topaz field
#

thank you

jagged pier
#

never have

topaz field
#

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

jagged pier
#

its our worst stat

topaz field
#

thats a unity recraft on chest then xD

ionic fern
#

Don't overthink it.

topaz field
#

the chest just stares at me with its 125 mastery

jagged pier
#

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

topaz field
#

i see

#

i remember from bfa when u had the avatar tons of mastery u crit blocked like everything

jagged pier
#

crit block is rng and was back then

hollow sun
#

If the banner does not extend its duration to your party, why aren't we going for a higher dps covenant like NF?

jagged pier
#

because necro is the highest dps covenant

strong forum
#

In bfa you had only 10% more mastery than you do currently during banner

#

Roughly

#

Atleast in my case

hollow sun
#

So if extended the banner does more dmg than AA?

strong forum
#

Necro is the highest dps cov, yes

jagged pier
#

do u not want perma 22% extra strength?

topaz field
#

@hollow sun

#

thats st for prot

jagged pier
#

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

hollow sun
#

But who knows, gotta start logging again

jagged pier
#

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

topaz field
#

😄

#

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

why do u care even then

yeah i mean sometimes revenge and shield block are not enough to keep the banner going so i just put it in IP

Absolutely

Your goal is to have 100% banner uptime

and since your last suggestion i am not using my 4 piece on thunder clap

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

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

is it about right?

cant tell without logs

i need to download a software right?

blazing condor
#

"more damage than they should" is a weird phrase

topaz field
#

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

drifting juniper
#

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 😦

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 :)

only about 3% of people ever try to get to that level or even respond positively to an unknown invite

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 ?

mighty valley

yes, people need to soak the circle

echo egret

even the tank wiht massive vulnerability debuff ?

mighty valley

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

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

Yes because it is directly next to several other mobs that you will pull

kinda senseless to discuss anymore we have fundamental different understandings towards m+ it seems thank you for your opinion

oblique garnet

Warrior benefits from chainpulling so ideally you want to always stay in combat

elfin surge
#

do you guys change soulbinds to the weekly affix's ?

sick sentinel
#

okay, so its affix ghosts and relics and boss spawned adds don't hit for necrotic correct?

lofty widget
#

No to both of you

sick sentinel
#

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

elfin surge
#

okay similar question - do you change trinkets then to the weekly affix ?

#

more defensive if necrotic ?

undone verge
#

depends

hazy edge
#

I use phial on tyr and opc on fort and that's about all I change.

undone verge
#

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

lofty widget
#

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

sick sentinel
#

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

lavish oracle
#

It depresses it

#

You run past them but are locked in combat

lofty widget
#

Spites Are more mobs, more mobs=more dmg

sick sentinel
#

spires is giga free

lavish oracle
#

You're not just wailing on spiteful unless you're an idiot or in the mists maze

lofty widget
#

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

lavish oracle
#

Sure, but most dungeons have forced downtime anyways

lofty widget
#

No?

#

In those cases you hit spites

lavish oracle
#

ToP and DOS have such long runs between a lot of pulls

lofty widget
#

Which means more dps

oblique garnet
#

Forced downtime is minimal if you chain pull

sick sentinel
#

they are only a pain in ass if ppl don't know how to run away and or attack them

sick sentinel
lavish oracle
#

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

sick sentinel
#

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

lavish oracle
#

The mass slime pull in PF is hilarious for that

sick sentinel
#

fuck those tentacles in PF

#

if you aggro one at all GG

oblique garnet
sick sentinel

starts nuking anyone it can from satelite orbit system, 2.9km away

oblique garnet
#

Spiteful is straight up extra 2k overall dps

lavish oracle
#

No way

#

You're not hitting those shits

oblique garnet
#

In dungeons where you have bunch of packs where not everything is the same hp ofc you will hit them

sick sentinel
#

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

oblique garnet
#

You will cleave as tank always so you passively will hit spitefuls

#

Its the same with dps too

lavish oracle
#

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

sick sentinel
#

the guy on the bull in theatre of pain, start of the dungeon, he can be tricky, or that pack can be

urban portal
#

you just need to pad harder on the spitefuls

thats all

oblique garnet

Ardwnweald has bunch of them

tricky pull to do correctly, can be

oblique garnet
#

Plaguefall has bunch of them

#

Mists the same

lofty widget
#

All dungeons have packs with different hp amounts

oblique garnet
#

^

lofty widget
#

So ofc youre gonna cleave on spites

oblique garnet
#

Well actually mista is probably closest hp out of all

lavish oracle
#

The tiernan are literally the only pull in mosts where mobs aren't dying close together

lofty widget
#

Even then you have prio targets

oblique garnet
#

But every pack has 2x higher hp and 2x lower casters

echo egret
#

Jailer : when exactly do you taunt during the tank combo ? I can only see one martyrdom cast, not 3 different spells

lofty widget
lavish oracle
#

But mists you have to pad on spites anyways

lofty widget
#

Not too imprtant i think

lavish oracle
#

To drop combat

sick sentinel
#

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

I mean as far as tanks go we are kinda broken

since it's a new xpac with a bit larger changes than usual, what if we're gonna get nerfed to the ground anyway?

cuz healer + 2 boosted dps died to them

You can block their melee anyways

strong forum
#

exactly

sick sentinel

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

yep. terrible luck with trinkets. Havent seen a scale drop since Season 1

blazing condor
#

rdm and scale are good trinkets but theyre pretty low ilvl

median tulip
#

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

winter marten
#

what about codex?

median tulip
median tulip
# winter marten what about codex?

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

winter marten
#

hmm i see

#

it should help in really high keys or in magic damage income tho?

median tulip
#

125 Strength is a tough ask to sacrifice

median tulip
tardy lantern
#

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.

winter marten
#

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*

isnt hard mode the fun mode tho

#

plus i get to be a hm tauren instead of belf

median tulip
#

and indeed the class as a whole

winter marten
#

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

median tulip
#

There are some pulls as Prot where you take basically no damage

winter marten
#

would i have to perma kite the dogs in soa?

median tulip
#

Dogs in spires?

#

Do you mean HoA?

winter marten
#

yes, the invisible ones

idk their names in english

tardy lantern

not dogs 😄

winter marten
#

wait they are cats¿?

median tulip
#

Oh, the larions? Nah, heroic leap into one pack, throw Ravager at the other GG HF

tardy lantern
#

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

median tulip
#

They do a debuff?

tardy lantern
#

a bleed

median tulip
#

TIL

winter marten
#

then im in for prot warrior

#

i hate having to kite larions

median tulip
#

I just facetank those things

tardy lantern
#

hardest part is getting them out of stealth w/o getting stunned. then you are good to go

winter marten
#

i saw tattman ravaging and hl into the other pack

median tulip
tardy lantern
#

they are patrolling. sometimes you get unlucky and miss them. but thats also what im doing. works most of the time

median tulip
#

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

tardy lantern
#

but most of the time you have ppl in the team that can help (hunter with flare or priest mass dispel for example)

winter marten

positioning shouldnt be problem with those

Absolutely spam revenge and IP yes
