which gems should i use for dungeon lvling in wrath? str or agi?

elfin spruce
night cobalt
#

How important are slow weapons with the revenge/sweeping build

elfin spruce
#

Not really since rev scales off AP and not weapon damage

night cobalt
#

Okay thanks

rich hatch
#

Ya it's minimal

#

Bigger cleaves with slower wep but 80+% of your dam is revenge anyway

inland gust
#

hey guys, which is the fastest leveling build for 70 ~80 ?

#

im 67 rn, running revenge/sweeping build but feels clunky

elfin spruce
#

You need a lot of avoidance for that build to be abusable

inland gust
#

yeh, i have all green gear from tbc boost

#

it kinda sucks tbh

#

with shield block up it runs smooth but whenever it is on cd i got smashed

#

caster mobs also give me nightmares

forest ibex
#

Unfortunately prot war has awful block uptime this xpac. That means on big pulls you’ve gotta rotate shield block, shockwave, single target stun, last stand, shield wall- especially with bad gear you can’t just cleave them all down and they die lol

inland gust
#

sooo, i should pick standard prot build over relentless assault with no gear

elfin spruce
#

Yes

inland gust
#

im probably solo levelin through quests, is arms faster?

elfin spruce
#

Shockwave is pretty chonky

#

Depends if you can do bigger pulls while questing

dense shard
#

Can warriors solo MT/Bot like DKs to level?

elfin spruce
#

If you're geared absolutely, any of the tanks can

#

I was soloing Mt trash at 65 as prot

#

It was less effective at that level than ramps and bf

atomic yarrow
#

Prolly been asked 10x already but if the goal is to dungeon grind is it viable to go with relentless assault revenge or better off with shockwave?

forest ibex
#

Gear/pull size dependent

atomic yarrow
#

I’m in brutal glad/random raid mix

forest ibex
#

I believe doing the solo farm dungeons or quest, you go relentlessl

#

But for big stuff or being undergeared shockwave can be pretty useful

#

If you’re just gonna do something like the bdk blood furnace farm, I would suspect relentless to be much better

atomic yarrow
#

Got it will prolly flip the dual spec to shockwave then for guild 5m dungeon runs and switch back to relentless for solo

forest ibex
#

Yea that Will feel good for sure

#

Would anyone be willing to hop in a call with me to teach me how to play Arms warrior? I’m following a guide for the best rotation/ability prioritization, but I am having a huge problem generating and maintaining rage. I would really appreciate it if someone could sort of “analyze” how I play and go through my abilities and tell me what I am doing wrong. I’m level 37 btw and I play on the pvp server called Angerforge. If you don’t play on the same server as me, I could probably just stream the game through Discord and you could watch what I do that way. Again, if someone would be willing to do this I would be very grateful. (I am free in the afternoon tomorrow, but we can schedule a different time if you would like. Whatever works for you.)

vital tapir

frozen dust
#

Ok thanks for the responses guys.

rich hatch
#

You should have TFB already so you're already at the braindead part

#

charge rend x op

#

mob is dead

frozen dust
#

My main problem is not doing near as much damage as everyone else in dungeons. Like when the tank pulls a big group of mobs and I use sweeping strikes, rend, and then overpower I’m at 0 rage.

#

And then I have to auto attack once, then I can use another overpower, but then I have to put rend on another mob to get taste for blood so I can use overpower again. While I’m doing this I’m at like 0 rage

rich hatch
#

you're spending elsehow then

#

rend only costs 10 rage, OP 5

#

you're either canceling your autos a lot or pressing something else

forest ibex
#

Don’t sweeping strikes with only enough rage for sweeping strikes

frozen dust
#

Does using overpower cancel an auto attack?

forest ibex
#

I think only slam resets your autos

frozen dust
#

Ok then I think I know what I’m doing wrong

#

I use slam a lot

rich hatch
#

one tip is just macro /startattack into all your abilities

forest ibex
#

Lolol

#

Noob

#

U should have much more fun now

frozen dust
#

And I use sweeping strikes as soon as I charge in 😓

forest ibex
#

Haha it’ll feel much more smooth

frozen dust
#

Ok thank y’all so much

forest ibex
#

Typically playing warrior at low rage is bad

#

Always want to have enough baked for mortal strike or whatever when it’s coming up

#

Once you figure rage pooling out between packs you’ll see what I mean

#

Probably don’t want to execute trash mobs either

#

And get the triple cleave glyph once you can lmfao that thing is sick

frozen dust
#

So I should: charge in, use rend, only use overpower and auto attacks until I have pooled some rage, then use sweeping strikes, and then use over power with sweeping strikes to aoe? And only use slam or mortal strike when I have an excess amount of rage?

forest ibex
#

I’m not exactly sure what has changed from tbc in terms of rotation

#

But typical your priority is:
Aoe: whirlwind > cleave > sweeping strikes/ overpower proc mayb
Single target: mortal strike > whirlwind > execute > overpower > slam > heroic strike

#

If that feels bad I’ll literally go on my war and test it out

#

I would say since execute and overpower were changed in wrath, they might be in the wrong spot in the priority but you have a lot of levels to figure it out lol

rich hatch
#

op is almost guaranteed crit

#

so you charge rend(for tfb), use whatever here ms or slam or whatev, op

#

and the mob is either dead or in execute range most likely

#

ms in pve isn't good dpr

#

on bosses just maintain rend(get a wa for procs), op > exe > slam filler > throw in HS if you have a lot of rage

elfin spruce
#

Heroic strike and cleave eat your auto attack, so always add like 12 to their cost

deep jasper
#

So we don't care about weapon timers anymore? Also, what about slam cancelling HS/cleave?

molten kestrel
#

do we have a classic discord? thanks

elfin spruce
misty cave
#

Am I missing something? Isn’t there a talent/glyph/skill that when you rend a target then thunderclap, it spreads it to all targets effected by thunderclap, or was that a later expansion?

karmic geode
#

I was confused about that as well. It's the deep wounds talent in arms, I believe. Where when you crit, it applies deep wounds. BLood and thunder where you spread rend was a later expansion I think

#

But you can get deep wounds as prot so thunderclap crits apply that bleed

thin aspen
#

Have they done something about sweeping strikes + revenge? It feels like you press revenge twice and it's consumed

elfin spruce
#

Revenge works once per dodge parry or block

#

It's not the 3.0 revenge that was infinite for the 5s window

#

Or you mean ss being consumed

#

Der

#

Ss only splits 5 hits right

#

So revenge hits 2 targets, might eat 2 charges haven't paid attention myself

#

Throw a auto attack in between and yeah ss gone

proper saffron
#

any 1 got a good pre raid is list the wowhead 1 seems wack

karmic geode
#

Someone mentioned revenge cleaving was a meme prot spec for warriors. Is taht true? What's the deal?

misty cave
warped garden
#

Question for prot. Ive seen a build thats an arms/prot talent thing and im wondering how good it is for leveling?

#

People say its really good since its basically revenge spam but, im mainly full brutal so i dont get revenge procs all that often. Is it still worth using regardless?

dawn pivot
#

Noob question, prot for dungeon tanking pretty squishy earlier on? Just got my shit kicked in tanking the nexus.

warped garden
#

Honestly couldnt tell ya

#

Warriors have always been very gear dependent but ive been doing fine so far

dawn pivot
#

Is a boosted char so gear is probably not the best atm

warped garden
#

OH

#

that explains everything

karmic geode
#

I got my teeth kicked in doing keep in purely leveling gear, the stuns early on mostly, but I also had a boosted healer.

rich hatch
#

Imp revenge does eat two charges of ss yes

late iris
#

I wanna try the revenge build in wotlk while dung levling is that good or bad?

elfin spruce
elfin spruce
karmic geode
#

I was doing single packs, but the stun is like four seconds long where I can't block/dodge/parry and leveling gear+a questionable healer just couldn't withstand that half the time. I tried to save shockwave/concus blow to closer when they'd normally stun me and that helped

forest ibex
#

After hours of grinding w my buddy he was brutal war and I was disc priest, I finally specced UA on my big time war full avoidance BT gear and it was nuts

#

I could see with a healer doing 4k+ each pack if I could wear full dps gear… the try with full avoidance in utgarde, I had a shadowpriest healer lol

#

Did 2.1k dps overall 1.6 mil damage 3man utgarde(mage, priest, war)

hollow timber
#

yo, so im playing orc prot warr and I got both bis sword from hc up and axe from oculus. do i use the sword?
with sword spec instead of the 5% crit

Sword spec got it's legs cut

#

I’m getting eaten alive trying to go the revenge build with shitty gear. Anyone recommend going arms or fury 70-80? I have full brutal gear with two brutal 2-handers, but I fear arms might be a better leveler.

dapper adder
#

GM everyone. I have just boosted my warrior to 70 lvl and made an Revenge-Unrelenting Assault build. Since the gear I have sux hard and I have never played a warrior (in the past I main'd like 5 classes, but never warrior), where should I get best information how to start?
What is the rotation, what items to look for etc.?
Maybe I should buy some shield on AH, just to have this extra block etc?
I must admit, that after playing like 30 minutes, I got killed 3 times, cuz apparently 3 mobs are too much to handle (which indicates that gear is really bad) 😄

chilly marten
#

War is really gear dependent. The wowhead guide is a good start. If u want to buy some greens from AH try buying "of champion" pieces

dapper adder
#

as I noticed Revenge doesn't rely on weapon damage, but on the other hand Cleave does weapon damage...

tulip vessel
#

Hello all I am going to be boosting a character (I played rogue in classic) am deciding between either a warrior to play fury or a ret pally, so my question is how is fury warrior in WOTLK for levelling and raids/dungeons

forest ibex
#

Not great

shy robin
#

Fury becomes really strong with gear and armor penetration

elfin spruce
elfin spruce
#

Dungeons arms can slap due to their strong cleave

#

But you're not going to outpace a dk or ret

cold nexus
#

Are glancing blows improved by expertise?

#

And to add, can you reduce the amount of glancing blows to 0?

forest ibex
#

No that’s just vanilla with weapon skill

#

The only reason to worry about glancing blows isn’t really a reason… what you WILL be worrying about is crit cap

#

If your hit, or expertise is way too low you could hit crit cap based off your yellow attacks(which cannot glance) being dodged, or parried, (or blocked for some strange reason), and your white hits, being glances, dodged, misses, and potentially being blocked or parried… effectively can push your white hit crits off the damage table to where your yellows will crit and your whites will glance

strange ridge
#

What do you guys think about titansteel destroyer for orc ?

forest ibex
#

Fast 2h are stupid

strange ridge
#

stupid good or stupid bad :>

forest ibex
#

Well what is your actual question

#

Is it. Should I be using the titansteel destroyer as an orc <spec> warrior?

strange ridge
#

Is titansteel destroyer good for an orc arms warrior Mr Jerreeeeee ?

#

Apologies for the Inconvenience

forest ibex
#

Would highly recommend this instead since it’s free and an axe

strange ridge
#

Good shot, i might only craft the mace if i dont get the axe before naxx

forest ibex
#

I wouldn’t if you are even a little tight for gold

#

Because that will be replaced with multiple different naxx weapons

#

And presumably you’ll be doing 10 and 25 man

#

I really don’t think it’s worth the gold unless you have epic flying and 2 maxed out professions already, and are fully gemmed and enchanted

#

Sim the difference too and you’ll see what I mean

strange ridge
#

yeah, fully maxed profs and epic flying on 2 chars

#

also self crafting

cold nexus
forest ibex
#

Always 24% of your white hits will glance- at least that’s what the documentation reads

hey guys, I'm starting WOTLK classic, and I'm wondering, how to use rend ? You apply it on start after charge but we never refresh cause of stance dance ?

elder coral
#

yo guys i got the two gloves, any tips in which should i use?

fringe fern
#

Hey i wonder should I use execute in berserker stance thus not losing the rage by switching to battle stance as arms?

rich hatch
#

no

#

the moment we don't need battle stance for the arpen is p much the same time we stop playing arms

fringe fern
#

k thanks

celest hornet
#

is there a possibility to sim your wotlk characters?

dapper adder
#

But it is just like questing as a combat rogue. The same stuff - I can take 2-3 mobs, but lose 50%+ of HP

sharp patio
#

guys i'm trying to write a macro for my burst damage so like cast reck, battlestance sweeping strike and bladestorm, the macro works apart from bladestorm at the end not sure whyi have enough rage for it.

#

#showtooltip Bladestorm
/cast [stance:3] Recklessness
/cast [stance:1/2] Berserker Stance
/castsequence reset=20 Recklessness, Battle Stance, Sweeping Strikes, Bladestorm

#

this is what i got

dire swallow
#

SLam build still the way after autoattack pause update?

elfin spruce
#

Like the UA build is built around the idea of soloing dungeons

#

So when you say quest NPC (as in non elites in OW) are takign 50% of your HP, it means you're too squish.

rich hatch
elfin spruce
#

it shoudl be glyphed no?

rich hatch
#

assuming not

#

should be fine otherwise

#

also UA still works good for heroics, it's all i've been doing myself

elfin spruce
#

Yeah just can't be in garbo greens

rich hatch
#

no shockwave sucks but doing 5k dps overall >>>

elfin spruce
#

It's like "I can tank dungeons as boomkin, IDK if its efficient but starfall is pretty good for getting aggro"

rich hatch
#

If you're holding all aggro and not dying, everything else is fluff eh

elfin spruce
#

Being pure prot is basically "Hold W pres Revenge - profit"

rich hatch
#

But when that fluff is making the dungeon twice as fast cause you're top dps, some really nice fluff lol

forest ibex
#

Running old kingdom with my buddy, we were pulling 3-4 packs at a time… he 100% needed shockwave for that

#

We had 2x ele, boomkin, me as disc

#

Doing 15 min fill clears skipping bosses 1 and 3

rich hatch
#

normal ofc

#

altho i do double pulls in heroic often which prob the same as 3-4 in norm

forest ibex
#

Heroic with some gear keeping around a UA spec is probably nice

split urchin
#

Is it possible to sim your character in wotlk through addons to see if theres a gear piece thats better than what you are wearing atm?

#

Also is there a spreadsheat for what breakpoints you wanna hit etc with gear in pre raid bis gear and also throughout the phases :D?

forest ibex
#

Hit(8%) and expertise(26) cap

#

Soft cap for arpen is ~800

#

is arms or fury the play for heroics?

arms for sure

Fury later on though, definitely in icc but I can’t remember when fury got really good

split urchin
#

Shouldnt fury be good to play as once u start getting the pre-raid bis gear compared to arms?

rich hatch
#

no

#

fury is dependent on other stats for more rage, stats you can't get without sacrificing cap on arpen

#

which is a bigger prio

flint brook

Anyone noticing an issue with aoe threat? or am i just with mega pumpers

just make sure you tc

Is hit cap and expertise same on arms as fury

anyone else getting bugged off the zeppelin while taking it from Honor Hold back to Ogrimmar? always dumps me at the stone talon entrance from barrens

#

Fury has a +20 something % increased miss chance because it is dual wield, but DOES have the same requirement as every melee(8% hit) to never miss yellow attacks

split urchin
#

Okay, thanks

#

When does fury become better? At what phase

#

Not that I like fury more, I actually love arms but just wanna know when I start to fall behind

Also does anyone have a picture of talents on whats best to use as arms

storm marsh

is arms or fury better for p1 ? or they are kinda similar, i plan doing 10 man raids/dungeons with friends

blazing current
#

Arms by far

rich hatch
#

i found mobs that auto me for about 100, random trash in terokkar

#

and whenever it procs, i negate all hits

forest kettle
#

should i prefer the titansteel mace or the colossal skull-clad cleaver as arms?

rich hatch
#

cleaver

forest kettle
#

is there any reason why? the strength on the titansteel destroyer is a lot more than the cleaver, plus the hit rating seems more useful than the haste

delicate haven
#

Axe mastery is 5% crit

Wwhen is the time to pop reck on ST? Exexute phase amd stay in zerk stance? Or rend OP is still prio even in exe phase

#

Hi everyone, would you recommend doing botanica till 78 or going from 75 to UK?

forest ibex
#

Botanica? Like from tbc?

fair thistle
#

yep, solo farm mobs in botanica, took around 2.5 hours per level with average tank gear till 75

rich hatch
#

I hear it's good xp but idk

fair thistle
#

but I got too bored of it already, I would change it a bit

rich hatch
#

Now that areas aren't crowded, you're better off questing probably

elder coral
elfin spruce
#

In raids

#

490 for heroics

rain crane
#

I'm pretty sure it's 530 for heroics? Doesn't matter though I was tanking right out of the gate at like 495 defense you just eat the occasional crit

elfin spruce
#

Was 490 tbc defensive cap, my goodness it's been forever since I paid attention

charred wadi
#

Botanica is better xp as mobs have so much less hp*

#

can do it easily to 77

#

will take you around 30-35 runs to hit 77

forest ibex
#

30-35 runs for 77 isn’t bad at all

dawn pivot
#

hey guys, what should i buy with my emblems , got around 900

#

90*

patent hull
#

What’s the fastest way to get to botanica? Portal somewhere?

charred wadi
#

Just fly to netherstorm takes 2 minutes weird

dawn pivot
#

berserking enchant too expensive what else should i use for arms weapon enchant

rich hatch
#

zerking is kinda cheap mat wise

#

can get greater savagery i guess

#

massacre is still 6 abyss crystals and it's significantly worse than zerking

charred wadi
#

raids are out in 3 days just relax and get abyss crystals for 25g

#

you wont need uber dps to beat naxx 10.

charred wadi
#

its easier than heroics

#

This one works

#

I had some struggles but then put lifeward on my weapon and also got the DMC trinket, jesus it's super smooth now compared to before

charred wadi
#

Hope nobody claimed you needed top notch gear for Botanica 😄

#

cobalt crafts good pickup for warrior alts starting now. good call

heady cradle
#

Most people I’ve talked to has claimed you need ”swp gear or go quest”

somber notch
#

how is this even possible bro

#

like its not a click bait title either

#

its legit a 1-80 in 5 hours

heady cradle
#

Is that possible in Classic WOTLK though with the nerfed boosting? Or does warmane have the same?

somber notch
#

and then 28 to 40 in 2 sm caths

dawn pivot
#

best leveling spec? (70-80)

somber notch
#

their all decently fast

#

prot arms if you want to spam dungeons solo

dawn pivot
#

i guess fury would be the least ideal?

somber notch
#

probably

#

but also the most fun at the same time

#

prot warrior is incredibly safe

dawn pivot
#

a lot of mobility as well

somber notch
#

and arms just does a shit load of cleave, so does prot but arms is faster

dawn pivot
#

intercept charge

heady cradle
#

Prot warrior is also stupid fun

#

No way arms is faster than UA prot with some avoidance gear and big pulls

dawn pivot
#

so like if i take fury cause i like the spec more than the other 2 it should be fine yeah

yeah

hey guys, i've got a couple talent questions

for protection tanks

ash fresh 70 boosted what the best thing i can do for lvl? quest?

forest ibex
forest ibex
lapis seal
#

idk

#

ill drop the full question then

#

this are my current talents

#

i think its pretty good so far, but i've got 2 points left that im doubting where to put

#

i see most people taking 2 points in Improved Disciplines, but really? 1 minute on that CD that you mostly just have whenever u need it, its too long regardless of the talents to use it 2 times on a boss

#

so i was thinking of 2 things

#

either focused rage, and i know you have a lot of fury all the time, but eeh just in case

#

or 2 points in Cruelty (Fury), for the improved crit (seems pretty good imo)

#

what do you think?

forest ibex
#

If you’re not rage starved take cruelty

#

If you’re raiding probably take safeguard

lapis seal
#

didnt think about safeguard

#

im not too used to using it, its kinda clunky to targed allies

forest ibex
#

It is op for tank busters

#

It’s an extra sac every 30 sec lol

rich hatch
#

depends what you are tanking

#

but safeguard is generally always a pick

#

for dungeons, a lot of this is survivability overkill but shockwave is obv good

when do you fill in sunder armor as fury warrior, especially on multi target fights?

#

To tank patchwerk on 25m how much health should I have unbuffed?

elfin spruce
#

You mean hatefulls or maintank

forest ibex
#

What’s his damage per swing(or hateful), what’s your armor#?, what is your debuff profile?, and how much stam do you have now?

forest ibex
#

Basically just need enough to have hp left over after 2 hateful

#

Well I say 2

elfin spruce
#

Uh

forest ibex
#

But the hots that tick after u take 1

full cave
#

Hatefuls

elfin spruce
#

You'll probably never take 2 in a row

forest ibex
#

Then able to take another with like 1hp to spare

full cave
#

Warr will be the third tank

forest ibex
#

Yea… but the healers be zzz

elfin spruce
#

If you do, there is something wrong

forest ibex
#

That’s how raiding works

full cave
#

Like right now I have 23k unbuffed and I'm the third tank on patchwerk

elfin spruce
#

So hateful will hit the highest health target in the top portion of the aggro table

forest ibex
#

That’s my prot war lvl 70 hp

#

In tbc

#

Buffed

elfin spruce
#

When he hits you, your hp will (unless bur) drop under basically everyone else's, in theory

#

So unless you're topped up, he'll eat a dps

full cave
#

But you think 23k unbuffed will be fine?

elfin spruce
#

23k no

#

His raw dmg is 105k

full cave
#

Like at raid I'll have e buffs I just dint know what my hp will be with those

#

Prob what 26k ish?

elfin spruce
#

Well, try for 30ish, hope you block

#

Like 23k is legitimately lowballing an 80 prot

forest ibex
#

U take 2, when the other tank isn’t topped as fast as you

elfin spruce
forest ibex
#

Hehe yes

#

Poor guys

#

Just wanted to pump with world buffs

elfin spruce
#

Two two handers means you're nearly tank hp without the armor

forest ibex
#

Really? They have that much Stam loaded into them?

elfin spruce
#

Yeah

forest ibex
#

I never noticed that change to weapon stats

elfin spruce
#

Twohanders generally have twice as much stam

forest ibex
#

That would make sense

Well they didn't tbh they would always tell warriors to wear plate it's made for you, nevermind that even with the armor to attack conversion in wotlk it's still 10% behind leather budget for DPS stats

Because warriors get much better agi to crit conversion

No dps wants to wear gear that makes you do less dps ofc

Why because “warriors take 10% more dam” heal me more Bitch

By the way, why do we use slam instead of heroic strike as arms? It seems to not make sense as heroic strike costs less and deals more damage, right?

Is it because it's not tied to weapon swing timer so you can use it more?

(I presume it has to be for this reason)

odd shore

Just don't use pawn

charred wadi
# thin aspen So which would be better for pve purposes?

Tactical Mastery is better. Since shattering throw requires battle stance and 25 rage to use. Both recommended prot and fury talents on wowhead have 3/3 tactical mastery. I assume Arms setup does not include TM as Battle stance is your default dps stance but I would still grab it vs the stun reduction. Its annoying not to be able to swap zerker stance to WW or pummel.

Personally I didn't get any results with the addon (pretty sure it only works on retail), so I used the old method of running the simulationcraft software on my computer, but, you would need a beefy machine to do so since it's kinda heavy on the processor

#

Alternatively there's the GitHub based website to simulate, I'll send the link here in a minute

#

U need to configure the build your running and your gear and then simulate with other gearsets, I seems accurate for the most part but take the results with a grain of salt

#

I used it and got some pretty accurate results from my own testing but I'd still prefer the simcraft app if your PC can run it without slowing down

So i have a question. I just started playing Prot in Wrath so i don't have the best gear since its a fresh character, but i tried to do my first heroic last night and couldn't hold aggro. I was wondering if there was a certain rotation or something because all the DPS i run with have just been blasting the mobs before i can sunder anything

forest ibex
#

Devastate or sunder?

#

Your tclap should just do 80% of the work for grouping them Revenge should do 80% of the work for 1-2 targets

pale steppe
#

Yeah devastate, but it seems like i charge in, demo and battle shout but the people i play with just drop every AOE they have before i can start to Devastate the other mobs in a pack

forest ibex
#

Don’t demo on trash unless you’re getting wrecked

#

Waste of a global, they should be pumping as soon as you charge in

#

Why battle?

#

You should have rage pooled to battle pre pull

#

You’re charging in and using 2 gcd that don’t generate(much) threat

#

That’s 3 seconds of standing there with your… sword in your hand

pale steppe
#

So should i like bloodrage on the first pull just for initial rage and then after that just carry rage through the other packs up to the boss?

forest ibex
#

Usually

#

There are hiccups like long walks or waiting for a rez but yeah ideally

#

Bloodrage usually for battle shout pre pull or if it still has some time you can get some extra rage for some extra cleaves on pull

#

Also 3cleave glyph is great, shockwave glyph is pretty good, sunder glyph is pretty ok

#

I wouldn’t waste a glyph spot for the taunt or last stand/shield wall glyphs for running heroics

#

Depends on gold and preference though

pale steppe
#

Ah yeah i forgot to change my glyphs i think i'm still using the glyphs for the revenge prot build

#

that goes down the arms tree

rich hatch
#

ya the sims/pawn/weights etc are wildly off sometimes so i wouldn't even bother with trusting it tbh

#

yet at least

#

just tank heroics as UA, never lose aggro because you're always top dps

elfin spruce
#

If you're dealing with real pumpers shockwave then tc

forest ibex
#

Yeah if you’re with merciless warlocks the rota: shockwave-> TC -> ST stun mob you have low threat on -> taunt another mob you have low threat on

elfin spruce
forest ibex

Yea and that’s understandable

#

That’s why we have this discord

# pale steppe Yeah devastate, but it seems like i charge in, demo and battle shout but the peo...
  • Run vigilance glyph so it transfers 15% threat on the guy you buff instead of 10%. Good choices for vigilance are boomie, warlock and death knight. The other 2 glyphs matter less, I like shield slam and devastate over the alternatives. Rogue has tricks but it does provide dmg so not sure what the play is. Tank can do giga dam though so if speed is the key 🙂
  • Hunters not using MD on CD (30s) are griefing
  • Prio thunder clap, keep cleave queued as rage permits and then be tactical with revenge. It hits +1 target. If you got 5-6 mobs in front of you can spread the revenges
  • Use taunt. Biggest mistake warrior tanks done since Classic is not taunt on CD. There is no reason not to. In Wrath it has 30 yard range to boot. Aoe taunt has 3min cd and absolute worst case mocking blow
  • Get a good nameplate addon, I recommend ThreatPlates. It color codes depending on threat. Yellow = about to lose aggro. Easier to identify what target to taunt preemptively or smack a shield slam on
  • Dont forget heroic throw, insane threat
  • Run 2/2 imp charge with low gear (skip points in Imp heroic Strike). Helps when a pull begins with low rage and as charge has 15s cd you can charge to catch shit that is stuck at range or lose and intercept back to main pack
  • When you engage a typical aoe pack thunder clap, revenge asap and ideally get another revenge ready before you shockwave (revenge has 5s cd but the window to use revenge is enough that you can get it ready preemptively). Shockwave does very nice dmg but you also stun shit. What you want to avoid is instantly Shockwave, have the mobs stun, run dry on rage and then have no follow up. Letting the mobs smack you for 1-2s before shockwave secures continued pump

Are you guys stacking strength gems or Armor pen? IIRC armor pen was king for both arms and fury all the way into ICC, anyone got any insight on this?

forest ibex

No

#

Not until you are at soft cap from gear, do you gen arpen

#

It’s is around 700-800

#

Only then it becomes more or equal value to strength

#

100% player arpen is only 75% boss arpen

You need the sunder (20%) and ff(5%) for the rest

are we talking with sunders? and when you say soft cap are you throwing in trinket procs potentially?

forest ibex
#

At the end of the day the math would be:

#

The overall arpen the trinket proc gives you plus your geared arpen

#

Then you can decide, but even that is finicky

Because fight lengths are different so you could lose or gain a trinket proc

analog helm

well anything over 1400 would be a waste right?

is what i mean

It is a waste

@split urchin Running hcs, picking up BOEs for disenchant on an alt and selling mats, selling frozen orbs you either loot or buy with excess badges etc is decent gold atm on my server at least. Hell, even northern spices you buy with the cooking daily token is stupid money when raid hours roll up and everyone scrambling to pack their bags. Then you obviously can do any number of dailies for gold. Wotlk shits out gold from just playing the game, like straight up leveling an alt and just saving boes and cloth you find. Once professions are skilled, maybe a Nobles deck bought and 280% flying your just gonna pile gold up. There really isn’t any secret to it. Do whatever activity you enjoy and if you somehow document what gold your earning you can see what is most success. Only thing I do not recommend is gathering. Your competing your limited time vs bots infinite time. Unless you really wanna do some stupid shit like mine tin and sell it to lads skilling engi/bs or dads realizing only now that engineering is the best profession in the game 🤫

# worldly spindle Should I go for set bonus first or something else with my first emblem of herois...

Wowhead guides has a recommended emblem of heroism purchase priority. Considering you can get around 50 emblems per day if your doing literally every heroic just buy whatever piece is your weakest. Commenting on the 2 linked items specifically I would suggest you buy tier chest and then gloves as these are not impressive. There is no heroic drop on par with emblem of heroism tier chest but there are very nice gloves from gundrak though. End of the day you’ll get everything if you just play the game so don’t stress it.

# sudden wasp What is gladiator in warcraft logs? i thought that was a wod only thing

Gladiator is just warcraft logs way to seperate main tanks from off tanks to dps stepping in to tank. Gladiator specifically is when a warrior has majority talent points in Protection tree but fails to meet dmg taken treshhold on a specific encounter, defined by WCLs ruleset to be considered Main Tank. Basically, your typical off tank without a tanking job for a fight. There is also have Champion, which is when a warrior has majority talents in either Arms or Fury but meet the dmg taken requirement for a Main Tank. Might see a few of those if the Unrelenting Assault build grows in even more popularity as its quite good on a few fights compared to Deep Prot.

charred wadi
# tawdry karma Also when do we shattering throw as Arms? On pull?

Use it whenever sunder/ea + ff is up during bloodlust window. Typically this would be within 5s of a pull. As arms your default dmg stance is battle stance so should be easy enough to pool rage prio to pull, sunder up if that is your job and then go. You sacrifice your personal dmg for insane raid buff so its 100 % worth. As fury you dps in zerker stance so it makes it a bit awkward. Either need to stay bstance and pool rage to get it off before you go zerker. This is when 3/3 tactical mastery is quite handy as you can macro /cast battle stance /cast shattering throw in one button to immediately swap stance and still have enough rage.

He has only 84% uptime, and also notably used a shattering throw for execute phase

#

He only has maybe 2 well timed refreshes, otherwise he was prioritizing other casts

#

You can look at the cast timeline

charred wadi
#

You never refresh rend before it finishes it’s duration. Also taste for blood is confirmed bugged and blizzard has more or less admitted they have no plans to fix for it so y’all have to live with it 😊

hello guys, can someone link me a working stance dance macro that works with same weapon? i used the one below until now, but doesnt work with same wep

/cast [nostance:2] Defensive Stance
/equip [noequipped:shield] Bulwark of the Noble Protector
/eq [noequipped:shield] The Interrogator
/cast [nostance:1] Berserker Stance
/equipslot 16 Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver
/equipslot 17 Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver

forest ibex
#

Is it the /eq line?

#

That whole macro looks weird

#

Ok for same wep

#

You can’t use a macro, unless they have a different enchant

#

Even then you need a addon to get the id of the item with the enchant

#

I assume you have two of the same weapon?

#

Usually, you just put the weapon on an action bar and macro the shield equip with shield block or something

rich hatch
#

Refreshing rend doesn't have prio over spending procs or risking overcapping on rage

#

Which can happen often with crit autos

Hey

is berserking always the best ench for arms?

#

arms questions - is it worth rending all targets in a 2-3 target scenario?

forest ibex
#

Nah I think you just rend 1 for the OP proc, you’re gonna lose a lot of rage value doing that

#

Esp because the proc has an icd so it’s not going to proc more

#

And rend does low dam

charred wadi
#

Use eightyupgrades. Easy to see what items there are and their source for each slot

#

Filter by phase to see what’s available rn and what to look forward to in future raids

Yo ! Sorry to bother you, just wanna know. As dps (fury or arms) what is your thoughts about
Bandit's Insignia vs Grim Toll ?

#

the build in wowhead for fury got updated ? in talent builds it went for 52 fury 19 arms with deep wounds but now i see it changed to fury 55 prot 8, is this build better for phase 1 ?

vital tapir
charred wadi
#

The default sim settings for fury use the same 19/52 as refered to in the talent chapter of the wowhead guide. The talents selected in the P1 fury bis setup also lack Glyphs. I am gonna guess it was forgotten to change glyphs/talents as the chapter covers the items and not talents

#

If your unsure, leave a comment on wowhead. Intiuitively it makes no sense to not trust the info provided in the talent section

vital tapir
#

idk then, few days ago it was empty

#

it was updated recently

charred wadi
#

Maybe the author was tinkering, who knows

vital tapir
#

i guess

#

i dont think 3 points in incite is better than the arms talents

#

you waste alot of good talents

charred wadi
#

Hence I think it was just some tinkering that was forgotten

#

sim yourself if your unsure

vital tapir
#

heroic strike is my biggest dmg atm so i can see the idea but you just lose alot from arms

#

oh i didnt know that page

#

is there some auto import or i gotta do all manually ?

charred wadi
#

Doesn't look correct that you have HS as highest dmg. WW and BT should be top. Looks like your not spending rage correct

vital tapir
#

no idea, im pressing them on cd

charred wadi
#

Ait

#

Check the sim site, you'll figure it out

vital tapir
#

thats from saph

#

this one is like you said from gothik

charred wadi
#

care to share log?

#

or char name and i'll find it

vital tapir
#

i could be doing something wrong

#

i swapped from arms few days ago

#

i did like 80 heroic strikes idk how

#

and its shorter than gothik

#

i did 24 only in gothik

charred wadi
#

I see 10 cpm on BT so thats excellent

#

There you go, I learned something new. Didnt play dps warrior in Wrath yet, only prot

vital tapir
#

im checking all fights

#

some fights its top dmg some others its not

#

idk why tbh

#

rng ?

charred wadi
#

you should have more rage on sapph cus blizzard feeding dmg taken

#

makes sense imo

vital tapir
#

i guess same for loatheb ? the dot gives me rage ?

charred wadi
#

but you have juiced up crit from the spore buff so you get more rage that way

vital tapir
#

patchwerk ? i take 0 dmg

charred wadi
#

details is generally useless for dmg breakdown imo. i prefer looking at cpm on logs. as long as buttons are used on cd you doing as well as one can expect

#

rest is optimised cd usage and having correct buffs and debuffs

vital tapir
#

i see

#

one last question, should i remove rampage and put 1 extra here if we alrdy have a feral ?

charred wadi
#

well then you dont ave 5% crit when your doing heroics, maybe 10mans or just goofing around in the open world/pvp

#

UW is incredibly minor. I would wager if you didnt even have it specced you wouldnt even notice a diff

vital tapir
#

oh i can just use second spec for rampage

#

i dont do anything else with it

charred wadi
#

If you have the luxuary of running double fury tree's then why not

vital tapir
#

cool, i wasnt sure how much extra rage it actually gives since it doesnt say

charred wadi
#

if you check the sapph log you linked earlier

#

UW provided 141 rage

vital tapir
#

oh, i guess 1 extra point is not that much

#

might as well not even bother

#

like what 1 or 2 extra casts i guess

#

how do i add another socket from my blacksmith ?

charred wadi
#

its a craft dud, check the trainer

#

405 skill required? there about

vital tapir
#

i have it in my gloves

#

i mean in the site

#

it just showing 1 socket not 2

charred wadi
#

Under settings then there is a box to change race and professions

vital tapir
#

oh

charred wadi
vital tapir
#

seems about right i guess

#

and uw with the last point is around 1 extra bt and 1 hs

glossy grail
#

How much defense do i need to tank hcs ?

charred wadi
#

Dont need to worry about it, use the best tank oriented gear you habe (block rating, block value, defense, parry, dodge, stam and str)

open mauve
#

Okay, serious question. Do I need to be sundering?

uncut pasture
#

For the prot warrior: Can anyone explain why in so many guides/builds talent points go into Deep Wounds but not in Cruelty? This obviously a dps and tps loss.

charred wadi
forest ibex
#

Prot gets 15% crit on their main abilities in like one talent in the prot tree lol

#

That’s why 5 talents for 5% crit isn’t really worth

uncut pasture
forest ibex
#

What?

uncut pasture
charred wadi
# open mauve Okay, serious question. Do I need to be sundering?

Thats ultimately guild politics. The debuff is a massive raid and personal dps increase so even if you dont value the team aspect you are self-cucking not having it up. My advice (as general as it can be):

5 sunders as solo dps warrior takes 7.5s assuming you will have the rage to use it as soon as gcd allows (5x 1.5). So thats your reference for comparison.

  • Can 1x rogue get EA up quicker? Most likely yes. No rogue and solo warrior? Then you Sunder
  • Prot warrior + 1 dps warrior in the raid? Sunder, regardless if you have rogue. Prot applies 2x stacks with Deva. 5 stacks up in 3s: 2 gcds for deva, 1 gcd for sunder
  • 3 dps warriors? Sunder. 2 gcds each. Regardless if you have rogue
  • 2 dps warriors? 3 gcds. coin flip if a rogue won't do it quicker
forest ibex
#

Weather it be through EA or sunder + ff, you need 30% armor debuff on the boss at all times

charred wadi
# uncut pasture

Show us the math why Deep Wounds is less tps & dps than 3% crit. If its feelscraft you do your thing, I can lend you a crayon.

uncut pasture
# forest ibex What?

With Last Laugh from Kel'T. Deep Wounds dps is less than 25.
You can't tell me that a 5 or even a 3% crit increase do add less dps.

charred wadi
#

I mean you do you m8 its ait

#

If you crit thunder clap on 15 mobs and get deep wounds on even half its absolutely coked out tps and dps

#

#1 KT prot warrior log has DW account for almost 10% of his dmg or 360 dps. No way 3% crit will add more than 360. Dont even need to do crayon maths to confirm it

uncut pasture
charred wadi
#

Your trolling dude 😄

uncut pasture
forest ibex
#

Seems alright tbh

#

280dps

#

3% crit probably isn’t 280 dps, idk

#

This man is self calculating deep wound dps and doesn’t even know how it works lol

#

It also works like this on warmane so chances are this is how it’s working right now on classic

#

Maybe do some research before having a public freak out in this channel about 3 talent points lol

uncut pasture
#

Oh well. Yeah of course this changes everything.
Alright thanks for this explanation!

#

where can I find a correct BIS list for P1? I find different list everywhere x)

long agate
#

Is there any point at all in considering which proc trinket is in which slot? I assume they both can't proc at the same time, so assuming you pop CDs on pull the strongest proc effect would technically be best to put in the first slot - Or?

forest ibex
#

Usually fight club has a bis list excel for every warrior spec

#

But tbh p1 gear is just a matter of ilvl and stat caps, so whatever you need to reach those

its ok using mail items? or i should focus plate?

Most mail items have intellect which is really bad

#

Probably equivalent to a pvp item

For a warrior

#

Leather and plate will be your best bet

molten kestrel
#

i would need for a leather or mail item if its a upgrade?

#

isn't there a stat bonus if i wear full plate?

Not yet

Not in wrath

I would recommend against needing for mail

Hey! anyone knows whats the best for me? i have Betrayer of Humanity (25 man nax) and Black Ice (10 man eoe) but i dont know wich i should use on main hand and wich on offhand. i read that the one with highest dps should be in main hand but dont we miss the Dual Wield Specialization talent? that gives 25% more damage to offhands?

fiery ferry
#

Betrayer main hand

forest ibex
#

Offhand untalented does -50% damage iirc

oh so with talent it still does -25% dmg?

Does Cruelty (+5% crit) affect Thunderclap and Shield Slam?

I've been looking at the patchwerk logs for high-parsing Arms to see how they perform their rotations relative to the guides (icy and wowhead) and i'm seeing some inconsistencies that it would be great to understand (if anyone can help). Here's an example high parse (https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/t6bmMd9q3VgBGL74#type=damage-done&fight=3&source=26&view=timeline).

I'm trying to figure out whether I should ignore the guides, go 3/3 mortal strike (instead of incite) and introduce Heroic Throw into my rotation. Also - I'm really confused why these guilds aren't asking someone to sunder. Any thoughts would be appreciated

#

(im trying to parse well because im competing with one other warrior for the only dps warrior spot in our raid)

charred wadi
#
  • The wowhead guide is a stepping stone, nuances to minmax will not be covered in the scope of these guides. Can't recall if Heroic Throw is off GCD but it has no minimum range so excellent choice to fill free gaps or free GCDs. Arms warrior used it twice so its hardly a priority and its 1min CD anyways. Added 38 dps. Seems like doing first one as you run in but before you connect is good choice.
  • There are two suggested builds. One with Inicite and the other subspeccing further in to Fury. The arms warrior in the linked log is 55/8/8.
  • No Sunder/EA is definitely yikes, even good guilds can be sloppy but doesn't look as bad when you kill the boss in 2minutes.
  • Regarding seemingly prioritizing Slam/other over MS is true. CPM on MS is barely 6. It could be 10 as its a 6s cd. Do note that Slam casts matches TfB procs: 17 TfB vs 21 slam casts. Only used 4 extra Slams as filler. If that is "Spam" I dont know if I can say
  • Compare to the current #1 Arms rank for PW. By the guy who has written the guides: https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/FYC6QbX4dx72jrVW#fight=13&type=damage-done&source=25 MS cpm at 6.5, 17 TfB, 19 Slams. They also have Sunder so the linked example is clearly a misplay. Evanlyn didn't use Heroic Throw and still got #1 so it is not a deal breaker.

@charred wadi thanks! very helpful.

#

hey guys, what's the best chest between these two for fury warrior ? wowhead and others says the the plate is better than the leather one but why ?

#

isn't the armor pen better then crit rating ?

forest ibex
#

Probably depends on your current hit cap situation

#

But yes crit is going to be better than arpen since you have very little arpen this phase

charred wadi
#

See the stat section under fury or arms guides on wowhwead

#

Not sure if Reck shows up in the log if you pop it before combat actually begins, but I woul expect to see it fade in the combat log. Can't give a good answer!
Regarding ST I think its safe to say its worth 100% worth on paper but figuring out how to use optimally is the challenge. I would guess and chalk it up to just week 1 things. A bit lazy or simply focusing on other stuff

forest ibex
#

It might be a dps loss for the caster

#

precasting is usually the play but you need some coordination for that

hasty bloom
#

Fiery weapon enchant new bis?

thin marsh
#

Thought it'd be more alive in here with the firey weapon stuff going on

#

Came in to ask if Deep Prot benefits from it too instead of Mongoose.

hasty bloom
#

Same, from what I read it looks like double fiery on weapons with some Fiery gauntlet item being the new best pair of gloves. Im not 100% tho.

thin marsh
#

I'm not seeing anything online about Deep Wound procs having any sort of threat multiplier

#

So it probably isn't better for prot

#

Unless the dps is higher than with mongoose.

forest ibex
#

Prot likes the crit and dodge and haste from mongoose

#

And armor I guess

#

Deep wounds should be threat multiplied by defensive stance

thin marsh
#

Yeah but other than the defensive stance multiplier that applies to everything it gets nothing else afaik

forest ibex
#

Yea that would be not good for the dps specs if it did

drifting token
#

yo does anyone know if arms is really better than fury? I've seen a lot of warriors making the swap lately and even though I'm still missing quite some gear arms does not feel great to me

pretty sure the dps difference isnt that big rn

#

moreso matters if your raid needs the blood frenzy buff from arms

no

what rly matters is, whats more fun to you
both specs are near bottom atm

#

Hey guys, what is this new meme all about?

rich hatch
#

Fiery is a thing because it's basically a means to roll your deep wounds more

thin marsh
#

You guys should probably pin a comment about the fiery plate stuff and have a bot mention it when someone types a keyword.

rich hatch
#

There's recent logs using it you can check. It's not really a crazy DPS gain. Simmers are estimating 80-400 DPS. The latter being during p4 tho

thin marsh
#

Gunna have a lot of people asking about it lol

rich hatch
#

This discord isn't very active with classic stuff tho. Fight Club has more discussion involving that

#

It's also something that falls off in aoe

#

But it's a ST increase

#

And cheaper than berserking

glass silo
#

I’d say fiery wep is worth it, but the gloves probably not lol

open mauve
#

The proc rate on the gloves is supposed to be very high. So if means more deep wound uptime it might just be worth

question about tank warrior

#

Shield Wall Glyph is the way to go for raiding, right?

#

i think you just have waaay too little options without it

#

i cant stop thinking about putting it everytime i see the huge cd

#

what glyphs are you running in general?

#

I have to take out either 2 target SunderArmor or 3 target Cleave

thin marsh
#

Why are you using sunder armor as a tank?

#

Devastate is just a better sunder armor.

thin marsh
lapis seal
#

the glyph is called

#

sunder armor

#

but applies with devastate too ofc

#

its the one where it sunders 2 targets instead of just main target

scarlet saffron
#

is fury suppose to be using sunder for boss fights if no other warrior is present?

scarlet saffron
#

Do you ever use it in dungeons due to fight length? or is it mostly just value in raids?

lapis seal
#

that i cant answer

#

in raids for sure you would want 20% armor reduction

Just do (hit rating)/30.7548

#

Then add 3%, just to make sure

vital tapir
#

so im actually 10.6% ?

#

Yeah

#

Can also check a log to see if you’ve missed anything(if you’re arms and only in pve)

vital tapir
#

im fury

#

forgot to mention i guess

#

Then you would specifically need to check your yellow hits individually in a pve log, if you’re still worried

#

can i go check that in dummy ?

Yeah u can log a dummy

Might need to attack for like 3+ mins but you should be okay
