BFA warrior, pls
Only every 1 second?
haste
it feels slower than 1sec
actually haste does nothing
it's not hasted
i am a fool
yeah
often i cant press it fast enough
send me to hell
smhing
Okay but still what simian mouthbreathing idiot is trying to make us play TC build
that waS ME
the one that was very popular in bfa?
get owned
love to clap
BFA felt awful hitting TC that much frfr
idk i enjoyed it


not sure if i enjoyed the tc spam or the fact that the spec was so fluid
but i enjoyed bfa warrior
Hitting tc in bfa feels better than hitting revenge, not even dps wise but just feeling wise. Revenge feels bad imo
Revenge is the least interesting button we have
wth
Worst animation, worst sound, worst everything
these are some hot takes
the animation is t-rash
would rather hit WW, tbh
Let me get this straight
revenge has no theme anymore. just give it the legion treatment and make it hella cool
how do you recognize an animation
You guys don’t like an ability
don't think i've ever just
Because it sounds weird
I don't like revenge because the frontal hitbox is weird
I miss half the shit I'm looking at for no reason
That’s a skill issue lol
it hits 180 in front of you?
lmao, this is the most fighting game response you could have given
No contest
I mean I’m not trying to fight man
no like
I’m just pointing out it’s a 180 cone
Ohhh okay

skill issue, lol
There are entire departments in game companies whose sole job is sound and animation design so you may not care about sound/animation but to pretend like it’s a minor thing is silly
is the most FGC thing you can say
Took me a sec kekw
I know, I’m literally looking at going into the field
Congrats
the difference in feedback between when you implement something with bad temp sound/vfx vs. good temp stuff is night and day
It is
animation is tougher in wow for sure since the character is small and the screen crowded but sound is a huge part of satisfaction
Maybe give it a lightning arc or something with a reverb crackle
I also don't think it's a 180 degree cone but I'd have to check
If you really like the Thor aesthetic
Nah it is
it is
i just think if they're embracing it as our consistent rage spender then the "revenge" theme doesn't fit it any more
but it's functional so why would they spend resources on it
The name is leftover from what Revenge used to be
I’ve just never liked revenge that’s just my opinion though. Legion Antorus shield slam+ip 0 second 20-60rage spamming 110cpm-fun, bfa Thor mode-fun, sl revenge-still enjoy it obviously but just not at the level of the other 2 as far as cool factor
A single target strike back based on the damage you recently took
it was originally only available when you dodged, blocked, parried
was low damage but very efficient rage:threat
was also ST only
it hit 2 things in wotlk->mop
had to talent into it hitting a 2nd target in wotlk at least
big fuck dam
anyway it's my pet peeve of prot warrior that doesn't affect how it plays at all
Pls can we has a better Revenj animation/sound?
it is a bit confusing in the metas where our biggest damage comes from our rage builders
I would like a better spender... Virtually we have 3 spenders, IP, Execute and Revenge, but it's always only 2 on our rotation. And on ST it doesn't fell good to Revenge to spend rage
SB is also a spender :susge:
oh really
yeah
Or make it barskin like
dunno why
I can actually spend
nah active mitigation should be spenders
cause with a 16 sec CD is not a real spender
I can't dump range on SB
Would be cool if I could
idk i think it's fine, we have a damage spender and an inefficient off-gcd dump
Idk, but having only revenge and IP as a mean to dump rage don't feel good
Execute is a fun button to press
But only 20% of the fight
i agree ip sucks but damn with tier warrior is so fun
you'd just like another ST damage spender?
itll be sad to get our rage and spending cut in half
they could make a single target revenge that's a little better on ST but that's an extra button, do not clutter my bars please
Idk what i want, but I know that now is not how I want to be
what's the appeal of having so many spenders?
but itll be nice nothaving the APM and crazy feedback we have now
choices
that's fair
but having one button for ST, one for 3 targets, one for 5+ targets, one defensive and one execute is just button bloat for no reason?
matta coming in with the "remove AM" hot take
Or make IP mean something
i dont agree with more buttons but i dont like spamming ip jsut to dump
wait now i am confused
you want outburst to increase rage generation, but you don't like spending so much rage
TC build was good
Clappa 
Having a CD that actually sped up the pace of the rotation was quite nice tbh
i agree
Our spenders don't feel good to press a lot of times. Maybe we don't need more spenders, just better spenders
that's a very good point, iroh
trying to think of things that can be done about that though
Everyone is so caught up on the fact that thunderclap itself was so broken but they forget that it made Avatar have a huge impact on the flow of the class every time you pressed it

Heroic strike

fuck heroic strike
Please no.
if revenge still fucks you're likely not forced to TC every 2nd gcd either
i just want sudden death back as prot
sudden death is good
just felt nice
Idk unless you’re gonna cap on rage why wouldn’t you?
because revenge would be more damage
Exactly
It only feels bad because TC does abysmal damage now
And abysmal rage generation
Right but it still feels kinda bad even when it did good dam
Wut
Idk man
Pressing a gcd that hit everything for 20k around me every other global felt pretty damn good
why would it feel worse to press button that does big dam + gives rage vs button that does less dam + spends rage
Especially in 8.0 when it meant you could have like 80% uptime on demoralizing shout
That’s kinda a super cooked take
IMO our spenders should be our main dmg source. Not SL
revenge spends it
Spenders should be main source of dam
Like that’s a “ha it’s cool to hate on UF build now cuz it was broken amirite guys”
our spenders are our main damage source
i think revenge feels bad to press cuz i like the tc sound
It just feels natural
in SL
this unironically i think
late agrees
disagree with me and get banned
I mean that’s not what it is
Wut?
i know this is just a typo but i'm memorializing it forever
Ok, i disagree.
AM is fun to play with, I don't know why you'd want to remove it
take it up with late
just silly
_ _
AM should be baseline
The only cooked thing about BFA playstyle was that revenge was just so badly undertuned
AM is definitely fun but i dont like it baselined
outlaw has AM baselined this tier
their 3 minute CD is effectively 90 seconds
but cucked by downtime
AM encourages proper play in the current iteration of the class.
i think it's correct that generally spending rage should be your greatest damage source, but it's ok if sometimes a cooldown flips things around
Technically that’s not even how the spec works now
Your biggest source of damage is still shield slam
On ST, sure
It’s just throttled by CD and mob count
No your biggest source of damage is spending your rage correctly to have more outbursts
Not in M+ and rev is still #2 being directly tailed by execute in ST
Which you then spend on shield slam
Main dam overall should still be revenge in M+
If your going to be pedantic do it right
AM itself goes baseline, but additional talents are required if you want it to affect different abilities; in Prot you can select to add Shield Wall, Avatar, Demo Shout and Ravager to AM, but the talents are widely spread throughout the tree
What do you mean bro, don’t you guys all play UF still? 

Pre outburst fam
what would it do baseline if you had to add all those things?
Oh we are talking about stuff in the past thats currently not relevant?
So in this case you should have heroic strike be one of your main contributors of your damage
No idea
yeah then it as well not be baseline
Even if we’re talking now
And that’s vigilant which is a lot of cleave
But that is kinda how the various Druid Berserk abilites work; each empowers the overall Berserk
Combine your spenders…
I wouldn't mind that with Avatar, tbh
Evokers gonna steal our tier
but I also don't want to be bear 2.0
we are tanks
you're tank, you're not exactly prioritized for loot with master looter anyway
I am always prio
tank is literally the lowest prio
ur not getting it
its dps > healer > tank
dps>>heal>tank
I am number 1 I bow to no scallie
Never get loot again
once upon a time tanks were top prio......
I will crush them.
just join a guild that doesn't use master loot
LOL ok
Ok
Spenders: 3243
Builders minus melee: 3649
Builders:4856
Soooooo
Your builders are still the main source of dam

i think its fine to have spender=builder
yeah we heard you the first time, apb
fury builder is main damage rn
They’re close
melee does not count lol
Melee don’t count
It generates rage and resets your main builder
Apb gonna say melee counts
this is too much math for a warrior channel
But again
Bet
no that's devastator
If it doesn’t count
i preferred the irrational dooming
You’re still behind on spenders
Wat

Lmao what

Lemme have it
I challenge u to a tank off

U accept ?
🤣
Your builders do ~11% more dps than your spenders
🦗
At least according to my log
ughhh warrior chat going mongo again
Of course
some things never change

Who are you talking to btw apb
that is in df

Gotcha
they no who day r
it's not irrational
Yeah, but my Spenders heal me, extend banner and reduce the CD on Avatar and SW
what i miss

nothing, king
Execute is a builder and a spender
go back to sleep
Apb is fighting shadow people again
we've seen a bunch of probably high power budget nodes that are lame as frick
Datamining
3 lame SL legendaries


Sure
Then I challenge him to a tank off
i really really really don't care
#vegan
you turn this chat into vengance
Yes agreed
shut up gg
It is it’s in a phased situation
Can you three just get the lube, buy a nice bottle of wine for yourselves, fuck each other and get rid of all the tension?
wtf
Thwump want us to recreate his fantasies
me in the corner of the room
I’ll pass thx
@sweet summit is getting rage
Quit beefing it’s a discord for a video game
U first
no

Erga is like an angry stepdad putting up with his two screeching children in the backseat
Nothing to leak
there is no point
It’s all available on twitch
so you can leave
Me too
🙂
Look I’m just pointing out your spenders aren’t your main source of dam anyways
LOL
And your best damage per global is a builder
Best ability is execute
Execute is good
It’s a spender and a builder
?
Massively inflated though comparatively to what it will be in DF
It’s the second time he’s said it, pretty sure he’s baiting
He didn’t get a response the first time
only pretty sure eh
Our spenders are extra propped up by banner currently
No it gives you rage when you use it and target still lives
Apb always trolly
it refunds
that's not building
Can you even select all of the classes, or only the ones with trees released?
Its building as much as SB builds...
Just because it feeds the rage feedback loop, doesn't mean it's a rage builder/generator
You’re getting back rage you wouldn’t normally have if you didn’t use the ability
it can proc SS which in turn builds but doesn't really make it a builder per se
ig
If you revenge instead of execute
"getting back"
not "building"
its an important difference
You will lose
apb im certain
i will not lose


youll lose
I'm wondering if it's possible to log in as one of the unreleased and look at the spellbook to find out if things have been baselined
losing =/= accepting defeat 
This is why mwahi liked
so much
🍿
Execute is only going to get stronger in df
yes but apb is always the one actually starting shit
i don't even respond to him anymore
then dont respond
i just see 4 angry people
that makes it one less
and a bunch of "1 blocked message"
Hey guys
Lol, what have I said that angers people? Execute is a spender, but it also has a built in build mechanic
New class gets to steal our tier now
hey Griff (matt)
banger thwump

Hi dog with crown
Who may or may not be goodstuffe
susge
more reprisal value
Prot warrior is low on tier prio anyway
oh wait
Actually huge if it applies to charge tbh
I told my guildies if they roll zenith straight to bottom of prio list
The scallie will be taking ur loot
Leap
lesgooo shitton of traders then
king attitude
Evoker happened
dragen 
The healing spec looks fun
Can’t wait to play a dragon
You can play now
Auto correct


Bruh yes you do

Pink class leave this web sight
Is fun from the little I've played so far, need some dungeons

We are getting condemn


Hey hey
It’s 2m LS and we get unnerving focus in tree
ik

its giga good
Still think bolster and last stand should just merge into a single ability
we can also play seismic
without needing to sac reprisal/defensive for it (probably)
Imagine
Last stand being added back to AM
And bolster bringing it down to 1m CD


That’s just speculated right?
No confirmation on that
Is there a haste soft cap?
seismic is a confirmed spell on the alpha client
there is a "soft cap" at 40% unbuffed where the tax is getting to big to continue stacking haste
no, seismic is back
on the warrior tree
its not even prot specific afaik
it doesnt affect TC, so fuck UF
Someone link warrior tree

I can’t find it
there is none
it really should affect TC instead of ww
its on the datamine blog
Wat u guys think
i think that's alright
Oh so no warrior tree it’s just the leaks aight
Ya
Potential for RWF but kinda idk otherwise
so a lot of this depends on where you find them in the tree
i bet wall competes with unbreakable
Aoe taunt will be 2 min cd which seems interesting
hope it does tbh
Easy ass choice then
i mean if wall and unbreakable dont compete its a raid cd every time you use it which will just passively reduce thier damage intake
I’m going wall build for sure
Not raid wide
real
Real
Go bubble hearth
We over here talking about serious business
No need for pink input
Here we go again
lady Gaga begin bubble hearths
Apb shatters that shit destroy pink class execute plant flag

we need battle shout
I’ll come eu be ur shout
is it 4 now?
Ya currently 4
400
Feel like we getting some solid quality of life improvements
pvpers in shambles
wrong pic
Honestly they keep saying it makes no sense with lore and shit but they really missed the mark here to be honest
Cant wait to get tossed off cliffs at the end of a fight 
This class is lookin poggies man
Gotta sell the expac somehow
including adding a fix to MW
miss me with that
I got better places to spend my talent points

i been watching evoker and it looks actually fun - cast while moving, dk runes, dh movement
I am pretty pissed they are keeping Divine Toll for prot paladins, it’s such an overpowered perk in M+
you can't introduce something that pivotal and remove it
divine toll is made overpowered by two insane pieces of borrowed power
Their base avenger’s shield was more than enough to have an upper hand regarding interrupts
is it me or they didnt add too much to prot wars? lol
DF divine toll is very different from the current one
Avenger’s Shield doesn’t generate holy power for ppal anymore

Instead it gives either cdr on abilities or %dr on targets hit
Nope
First Avenger doesn’t exist anymore

I imagine prot pala tree is still a work in progress
So still stuff remain to be seen
Then moment of glory got reworked to pseudo take over the other half
Yeah ppal tree is still being worked on
These are just what they have somewhat finished
Still missing over half the tree
i just hope we see the proper ones soontm
Remove Avenger's Shield interrupt and it's a non-issue
new moment of glory is pog
Bruh they’d need to giga buff that talent for it to be worth it
first avenger would have to be there, since mog says 'additional'
between sera, dt, mog, rp, setting up tankadin to be a 45/90ish tempo, looks like.
bfa-ish
they just slammed every avengers shield effect ever into the ppala tree i like it
they're losing ringing clarity and the legendary but divine toll is gonna be just as strong to press
toll with mog up is gonna give you an insane absorb
i dunno the new mog seems pretty pogged up to me
yeah i mean i'm certain ppala is gonna get some sweet utility too

people want ppala artifact ability back and i get that
but i feel like divine toll feels even better to press
@modern brook @strong forum where is Late and Ghash? is wow good yet? is reflective plating back?
no reflective plating yet but we don't have our full tree
so we're currently huffing copium that it'll be there
join us

not gonna happen cause i bet they wont even think about reflective plating 😦
hmmm i dunno if i should resub soon
my homies gone
Late and Ghash riparooni
late is still around
ghash is kill

nuuu
Late is afk until DF
Late's blue
no
i might resub soon but dunno, its been my longest break from wow
no
sir
High key Wow is a lot of fun if youj have a group you're willing/able/want to progress with
even SL
I dont have that rn so :/
I'm a cutting edge raider and so i can lord that over people for at least another expansion
we're close to it
all it requires is a touch of 1 or 2 nobs
i see i see
and its just hard to play hard to master rn
like even my performance varies from key to key
chef nimchip will make a comeback
and stewart
the fish
hard to play hard to master is enough incentive
remember BFA s1? lul
i'm so upset they rebuffed unstoppable force

god please no
are naeno, riki and kaege still around?
hullo sir
Naeno is around but never speaks
riki is gone i see 😦
typical
Technically i could come back to wow rn but cba paying money to blizzard without actual proof of good expansion
still laughing at the scolding due to OT
yeah i kind of agree
i had like a list of things i needed to see done before i could think about a resub
borrowed power gone and cross faction were 2 of them, and i suppose those are either done or coming up
I had enough gold to barely finish this tier now im almost at 0 so idk
i quit 2 months before the streamers did so s1 for me
Idm borrowed power but man the game content outside of raids has to be good
yeah i agree
also of course full account wide shit, but eh
i feel that one has been said too many times
$pb 228342278916276224
Done.


the one thing i havent seen, because i suppose people don't really think the idea is okay is a comeback to 10man raiding
like even mythic raiding
would be so much simpler to recruit for etc
Dont think 10 mans will make a comeback in wow anytime soon
yeah
i think they are dead set on sizes, which is weird because when you think about it
WoW reduced player raids from 80+ people in EQ
to 40
then to less than that
and then just stuck it out
i think the typical raid designer and mythic raider are just used to the set number
would be nice to have a shakeup, but probably too much to ask
Giving 10 mans as an option would kill guilds
Many of the more casual ones i mean
nah not as an option
Hey, I know it's not on the subject, but I wanted to ask a question, is there a crit/maest cap?
or I can use everything I have of hast/vers
oh no don't worry about it, i'm just rambling
There is diminishing return on stats but we just go for highest ilvl gear generally
There really isnt a bad stat for us
You don't want haste/vers exclusively either, you want a healthy mix
so what do you guys think of the speculations?
No point speculating
yeah that sorry lol
I hope to god prot is not going to get screwed again -_-
I wonder if the talent that converts 10% of armor into strength is on top of vanguard
I asked these days about the Trinket codex, I was told here that it is bad, for prot! more me looking at Raider IO the top war use it and the scale!
They are wrong!
Codex is only really good in very high end situational content
nah not even
currently I'm using scale and crystal, I'm running after the gambit
only rygelong these days? or did they nerf him too much
Not even ryg
true with the nerfs ig
It was never good for us
Forgot what
yeah that's called margin for error
can i come back to prot warrior yet, do the data mine look fun
Yes, and currently pwar is giga fun
Who
Pepecopter confirms
Ag

is the tier fun? im a slave and only play meta tanks, but im quitting my guild and going to a shit one so i can just go back to prot war
Hes not wrong
Pwar is now even faster
Why would you not just tank on warrior in your current one?
my guild was making me play meta tanks before
his guild is stinky and thinks their prog is stopped because he isnt bdk or whatever
and not cause he has 43 dps that are consistently dead on the firsat mechanic
well 2 months ago it wasnt lol
(note this is a guess)
Nothing changed since then
oh man Vil
sure things ahve changed
No not really
nothing changed 
Nothing relevant in terms of pwar
pretty much the same
Raid changed class is the same
except execute buff maybe
ony top of getting more item levels there have been litteral class changes to other tanks
I'm hoping my RL let's me swap to pwar for fated raiding. Not sure how necessary BDK is going to be.
not here
Warrior was best tank for jailer 2 months ago too
It did by far the most damage while living easiest
if anything pwar got nerfed in raid cause they reduced hp of bosses, which means less execute time
cant fix what is not broken 
Brew didn't get touched
Vdh didn't get negatively impacted
Bear got rofl stomped like 3 months ago
Bdk got barely nudged too
Ye pwar got actually nerfed on jailer
Cuz execute is much shorter now
guys youre trying to convince me to play my favorite class i dont get it
im litteraly quitting my guild to go play warrior forever lol
We're just stating what has been true all tier
If anything we're flaming your guild
only metaslaves are slaves to other peoples words

meh, I think that dk has done more dmg most of the tier
if your guild tells you what to play they're very cringe
Bdk is still more dmg yes
source i run a guild and would feel very cringe if i told someone what to play
Easier to play too with 4p
Huh
if your guild feels the need to micro manage what you play like that, theyre probably not in a position where it matters
Warrior isnt hard
Warrior is 30x harder than other tanks
it's harder than everything else
well it's actually like
the spec is totally fucking brainless
but you have to play fast
wait where does the difficulty in prot warrior come from
shoot I got told i would have to read a 10 page essay on how to properly prot war >_>
reprisal is not hard
can you keep up 85 cpm consistently
Yes
"reprisal is not hard" famous last words
yes i know you can late so can i
so which one is it
but a lot of people can't
If you're good at warrior, it's not that hard
i trust both
This is a case of theory versus the execution
If you're not good at warrior, it's very hard
Nome what affixes is it this week
hol up
Raging explo
It is
us talking abt reprisal forever ago and you said was ez!
It is hard if you don’t know prot lol
sir 😦
ive been around for how long
have i been forgotten
has chef nimchip been forgotten
ya i dont do outburst, but even with banner it was w/e
In raid its still easy
In higher m+ keys it can pose a challenge
You're not allowed to be lazy
ya im not a key do'er so no opinion
ez
You can’t just BDK autoparry not top dam deathstrike half cracked out
whats with all the new prot warrior names on top of WCL
did the old ones all quit
probably
Rerolled bdk
Yes
or old people came back
i recognize like 4 guys on the top 10 lol
their fingers probably fell off
No real pusher is playing pwar rn
late y u do dis
my return will be glorious
Just a bunch of bad players
APM is gone
Im just honest always
Quit, rerolled, or got their fingers amputated
i still have your NA acct on my friend list
Its both now i can see you gaming sometimes
here , my friend made list of difficulty
yet
lol
oh shush gaga
i think fury warrior is most out of place
I think Andy had the best tank in current pwar
Fight me
But some are out of place
Fdk ret pal and fury are on the correct spot

How much is wow token in eu atm
Like 330k?
imma check give me sec


Bolster cdr from 1m -> 10 sec / what do this mean? bolster only gives 10s off ls now?
oh no
wall being a talent is kinda cool i guess
hmm...
my bootyclap build is ruined
leaks D:
Actual garbage
nome why are you so mean to chef nimchip
It’s just dm’s wym >.>
Bfa pwar was in hindsight actually dumbfuck easy

yeah it was
The fun part is just a numbers thing
Which is why people enjoy brew rn
Cuz it's just overtuned numbers from tier
And Brew is literally just "hit the best button in your kit on cooldown, get thicc"
can we at least want reflective plating back
everyone say yes
i cannot hate, i am also a bremaster enjoyer
Ok thats a bit rude now
get mike ybarra or whatever the fuck hes called on the phone
Me thinks depending on where it is, the party-wide shield wall might be problematic. Would suck if it's in a bad spot but we're "forced" to take it
didnt he play war or something
ok this was fun. ill be back in a few months to check on my homies late, bullfango, nome, matt, ghash, riki, sense and so forth
someone rez ghash and riki please
lady gaga


If anyone wants to bug me to stream some alpha content for them, I'll be downloading after raid tonight
I’m not taking it if it’s in a bad spot
No
There’s not been a reason yet as to why you’d be “forced” to take it
Since it already exists in SL
And there is 0 use case
A fair point, but in SL it has a very heavy opportunity cost to the warrior. I don't think it'll be a problem but I really hope it's not one
If it’s in a bad spot in a talent tree it would also have a heavy opportunity cost
Hello, I am trying to prog mythical level 20 keystones rn, and wanted to see how crucial the codex trinket is to my success.
it isnt
I see, ty.
Is bad for us
whoever said to make sun king blessing fire mage, i did it, i'm trying to do LFR get 4 set
well, i was arcane for a while, i have the 262 leggos for that, just not 291's, or only 2 of them rather

Codex is dogwater
Literally a trap trinket
Codex is a detriment to your success
You can troll him its fine
His own face is already trolling
I'm spoiled from blood/bear/protP being able to pretty much not care if my healer is asleep. I know protW is more of a mitigate/avoid tank, but is there any combination of traits/trinkets/covenant/conduit/etc that will move my warrior at least closer to that feeling?
No
Yes
Pressing your buttons
Will help that felling
people have got to stop saying "the shield wall talent is bad because the legendary is bad"
to use the SL legendary you have to give up a legendary
to use the talent you have to give up one talent point, and we have no idea how hard or easy that is right now
plus you might be able to easily pair it with something like the wall
which is impossible now
Seems like Scale2.0
did u guys talk about titanic throw already
feels good to have aoe ranged aggro
yeah, nice qol depending on where it is
yeah i'd never go out of my way to grab it
i thought it did that to the main target
38% AP is not low for aggro
but if it's easy to pick up sure, it'll make pulling nice
and then fuck all to everything else
its like paladins sending avenger shield for aggro
if it's that much to everything then that's cool
also looks like they're 5xing the damage on shockwave
which is nice
it just says it does heroic throw damage to everything in the radius
itll probably be around 1.5 revenges
i think
its on a cd tho
but regular throw is on a cd for dps warriors
they'd better balance it so there's no incentive to use it on CD
its still a pvp talent
thats why it says morale killer on the top
the formatting is just wrong
i would take 4 prot warriors per raid
