#

thanks for explaining obv stuff

elder wigeon
#

so then what's the problem?

#

do you want warriors to be punished for taking damage that they're already being punished for by.. dying?

#

10/10 is fair, 10/20 is not neither was 20/10 in bfa when d-stance was brain dead

analog warren
elder wigeon
#

I think 20/20 was fine as well and not the area it needed nerfed, blizzard makes bad decisions really often and leaving it as 10/20 is heavy handed

#

not only a bad decision but heavy handed at that, it should be 10/10 if they are going to even try to remotely fix the problem it's causing

#

just tunnel a warrior and force them in d-stance, not only have you reduced their offensive pressure, but now they deal 20% less damage by virtue of being in d-stance which they now take a lot more damage in, teams already were tunneling warriors at high rating anyways

analog warren
elder wigeon
#

I know I will, and everyone else I play with, dumb the game down, tunnel the warrior, they deal less damage and are pretty squishy now, and weee no more intervene

#

kill target can't be intervened if the kill target is the warrior anyways lmao

undone pumice
#

blizzard when they remove arms from the game

elder wigeon
#

it's just weird they've decided to do this now as a last season change

undone pumice
#

like

#

just do it in 9.1 at that point

elder wigeon
#

in season 13, the last time they did something like this, warrior was not great and was rectified in season 14 and were great again

severe skiff
#

It was obvious they were going to use warrior to pretend they care about pvp balance by throwing something stupid at them

undone pumice
#

well

#

yes

#

warrior was the easiest and best spec

elder wigeon
#

i mean lets be honest here, warriors were the only ones severely effected by the changes

#

I watched magnus rage log and turn off his stream after doing some 2's earlier that looked completely hopeless

undone pumice
#

well yeah u just get 1 shot even hardern ow

severe skiff
#

I think its a combination of the few changes and the fact that arms is just getting a pretty bland set bonus, it's not going to "regain" any sort of power when set tier comes into play

undone pumice
#

fury just gains

elder wigeon
#

the tier set is kind of a "quality of life" tier set not really anything fun or exciting

steep inlet
#

almost did the same yesterday resune

#

in 3s

#

after 10 RMP 10 jungle

#

that obliterated me

#

tilted as fuck

elder wigeon
#

yeah I mean RMP is going to just murder warriors now too lol

severe skiff
#

Just feel like if I'm going to have to run away/exit a fight often I may as well play something with the tools to actually do that like WW

undone pumice
#

meanwhile im getting flamed in every call because i play the "easy spec thats busted op"

elder wigeon
#

say goodbye to badge boys and say hello to battlemaster trinket every game sadge

undone pumice
#

by a fire mage and a sub rogue

steep inlet
#

maybe short leap with triple leap and leave fight will be the play

elder wigeon
#

lmao

#

leaper will definitely be viable this patch due to double legendary with kyrian

undone pumice
#

leaper + EM

#

lmao

#

time for rbg main

elder wigeon
#

kekw

undone pumice
#

so we just go bm trinket

#

every time

#

?

elder wigeon
#

we may have to

cold totem
#

bm trinket?

#

the hp one?

undone pumice
#

yes

cold totem
#

sadge

undone pumice
#

i never used badge kekw

#

i went insig almost every game

#

so if i dont want to think about it at all

#

what legendary do i get for kyrian

severe skiff
#

I mean its still 4+ weeks from double legendary so if you're not hurting for every bit of gold may as well just make spear if you're going to play kyrian from the start

undone pumice
#

i already have spear

#

and i am hurting for gold

#

might just go necro because i miss spear half the time or it gets eaten by geometry

steep inlet
#

Tanks are at +25 or 50% dmg taken atm in pvp

#

I don’t remember

formal creek
#

i may actually try fury, fuck this nerf 10/20 is idiotic

undone pumice
#

what slot do we get enduring blow on

raw summit
#

Belt for now

#

Only get a 235 or sumn cheap

undone pumice
#

seems grief

#

why a 235?

raw summit
#

Dont go broke before 291

raw summit
undone pumice
#

what about a 262

raw summit
#

Costs more gold

#

I think

undone pumice
#

this does not mean

#

i am opposed to the loansharks

raw summit
#

I wanna save you from getting a bobby token sadge

undone pumice
#

235 costs

#

less than a 225

#

however

#

it consumes 85% of my gold

#

haste vers or crit vers

barren crane
#

Time for emissaries

undone pumice
#

i have been devastated

raw summit
#

Man

#

You poor

#

:(

#

What realm are you on?

undone pumice

eredar

#

raw summit
#

Ah unfort

#

Im blackhand

undone pumice
#

my brother is ltierally goldcapped

#

and im broke

#

xd

raw summit
#

Im not sure if they are linked

undone pumice
#

i see people from blackhand

#

but u cant trade

raw summit
#

I got Gold on ravencrest/draenor/blackhand but very little on all of them

barren crane
#

There is a gold cap?

raw summit
#

9,999,999

barren crane
#

Holy balls

raw summit
#

Get that bag

undone pumice
#

hes almost gold capped

#

but he says hes roleplaying as rogue with his financial state too

visual wigeon
#

Sorry if this has been asked a bunch but do we know if set bonuses will work in pvp for 9.2

undone pumice
#

probably will i think pretty sure

visual wigeon
#

Thats what i figured just didnt know if there was confirmation

raw summit
undone pumice
#

does jailers gauntlet give renown

raw summit
#

Not sure i played as an 80 cov in it

#

Will try NF later

undone pumice
#

same

#

i want to try it as necro now

glass orchid
#

Tried a couple games today

undone pumice
#

because the elysian hold literally

#

hurts my eyes

glass orchid
#

Arms feels fucking unplayable

raw summit
#

Eh bis though

#

Can mount up

undone pumice
#

i use inky black in it already

glass orchid
#

Just get tunneled all game

raw summit
#

Arm bad sadga

undone pumice
#

go prot

glass orchid
#

Feel like i need to play with something with higher kill prio

#

Like destro warlock or something

raw summit
#

Nerf worse for 3s i assume

undone pumice
#

3s for worse players

#

:D

raw summit
#

So 2100 2s prolly still within reach for my pepega ass

glass orchid
#

Fury is pretty good for 2s

#

With its biggest counter arms being nerfed lmao

raw summit
#

Oh right that's a spec

glass orchid
#

Fury feels aids playing into arms and feral and ww and hunter

#

But everything else is fair game

raw summit
#

Arms feelt better than fury previously

#

Like rotation wise

#

Since i main fury in m+/raid it's such a weird switch

undone pumice
#

like fury just gives me cancer

#

i ragecap so easily and battle trance is bugged with reckless abandon

raw summit
#

Oh Fr?

#

Bruh

#

60 rage IP sucks so bad man :(

glass orchid
#

Does battle trance not trigger?

#

With reck abandon

#

I guess we won’t have slot for reck abandon anyway

#

I mean battle trance

#

Since you gotta take MS, and Enrage pvp talent every game

#

And pretty much are forced to take disarm vs every melee

#

And root clear vs casters

undone pumice
#

reck abandon

#

turns raging blow into crushing blow

#

and blizz hates fury pvp

fickle forge
#

Eyes on prot warr?

steep inlet
#

ptr with set

#

yep i'm considering it

#

for real

fickle forge
#

I'm sure you can hit harder, my PTR prot doesn't have Kevin nor empowered conduits

warped warren
#

ATC COMEBACK!?!?!?

#

⏸️

undone pumice
#

necro prot warr

#

wtf

warped warren
#

kargish/artji bringing ATC back

#

🐼

fickle forge
#

@wheat jay KFC with prot warr?

#

So sry

#

ATC*

warped warren
#

yes

#

atc

steep inlet
#

wondering if impending victory is worth too now

#

for arms

#

40% heal

warped warren
#

afreeka turtle cleave man

warped warren
#

wdym 40%

wheat jay
warped warren
#

also losing bolt

#

lmao

steep inlet
#

yeah but

#

massive survival improve

warped warren
#

yeah but

#

dampening

#

🤣

steep inlet
#

are we sure its affected by it ?

#

never played this shit

warped warren
#

ofc it is

steep inlet
#

100% sure ? fak

warped warren
#

yes lmao

steep inlet
#

searching solution

#

because arms in rmp or jungle is atrocious atm

fickle forge
#

Train healer 😎 👍

steep inlet
#

we tried but still very hard mode

fickle forge
#

I recommend training harder ZOOMEReyes

barren crane
#

Don't worry guys blizz will realize their mistake and revert nerf copium

warped warren
scarlet barn
#

Idk they should remove DRs completely from game

#

right?

full quiver
#

Lol I think prot war tsg and ret war will be nasty

#

Just banner/debuff bot for your big damage daddy

ashen obsidian
#

yeah.... ret pally can easily carry dps in teams

full quiver
#

Perma banner uptime with necro ret tier set randomly one shotting peeps

ashen obsidian
#

was hitting 20K executes as prot warrior with decent gear

warped warren
#

´fo sho fo sho

wet scarab
#

wait are you guys trolling or is this for real because I'm fucking there for it

#

unintended consequence of def stance nerf

#

all warriors go tank and thus never die

#

what is dead may never die

sage raptor
#

Lmaoo

#

Play prot before even looking at Fury.

near delta
worthy fern
#

The problem is prot war does die

near delta
#

Tanks take 60% increased damage in arena anyway right?

#

Or whatever can't find an official value

full quiver
#

prot pala never felt particularly squishy

wet scarab
#

what leggo would you use for necro prot

fickle forge
#

Prot warr is invincible over for melees

#

But dog against casters

full quiver
#

but dk good vs casters

#

so uhdk + prot war = best cmp now

steep inlet
#

it’s my plan since yesterday yep

#

Since I went 2800+ mmr with UDK already

#

as arms

wet scarab
#

maybe reprisal into melee teams or signet, and spell reflect or leaper into casters

#

morale killer would be great in melee cleaves

#

imagine thunderstruck with unstoppable force against demon hunters

#

root with no DR and 50% cd reduction

#

lol you also have a permanent kick with no cd if you use it right

#

interrupt UA, soulrot and deathbolt

#

imagine fighting spriests as prot

#

with talented shield bash

#

oppressor for goes with a ret or turbo

#

bodyguard is a better intervene

#

we can make this work guys

fickle forge
#

Perma kick?

wet scarab
#

shield bash pvp talent

fickle forge
#

That's 15% damage reduction

#

Not a kick

wet scarab
#

ah shit I thought it was the same as before

#

carry on

#

haven't played prot since wrath

#

BUT 15% damage reduction on deathbolt or other caster nukes

#

and resets cd if it's during a cast

#

it's a 10 sec cd too so you can keep it up during scary goes

#

warpath with leaper against hunters sounds fun too

near delta
#

This is a dumb idea but could reprisal with a shield swap macro be good as arms?

wet scarab
#

for what purpose

near delta
#

Everytime you intervene it procs shield block for 4 seconds

green sleet
#

You wouldn't get much value

near delta
#

Does it actually block all melee attacks for 6 seconds like the tooltip says or just a few?

#

Another parry on a 16 second cd doesn't sound that bad

green sleet
#

If you wanted to shield swap you could use shield block anyway and won't waste intervene or charge

plain wing
#

i think he means to reduce damage to his teammate

#

by intervening with shield block

ashen obsidian
#

wow are we really discussing arms warriors with shields.?! incredible

plain wing
#

hey, arms is the master of all weapons XD

green sleet
#

I mean you could but you could macro shield swap block then intervene and keep a leggo

near delta
#

Yeah probably best just to macro it in lol and save a leggo

ashen obsidian
near delta
#

I mean might as well try shield block literally free

#

And just a pita to set up and use

steep inlet
#

At this point btw

#

Prot is shit

#

It need full 9.2 set

#

To do competitive dmgs

#

Now we stick fury and arms

plain wing
#

You realize fury is the same way right

#

Only gets super strong with tier synergy

#

Aka in like 8 weeks

raw summit
#

So we gonna be a clapper??

nimble jasper
#

takes you 8 weeks to get a 4set?

raw summit
#

One HC week

#

Tbh

plain wing
#

nah

wet scarab
#

necro prot can actually use glory more effectively in a melee cleave situation

plain wing
#

the pve raider 9.2 huge doc

#

google sheet*

#

estimates most people will have it around the 6-8 week window

steep inlet
#

I know bruin

nimble jasper
#

thats called being unlucky

#

XD

plain wing
#

not at all

#

thats if you're full clearing raid with a guild too

nimble jasper
#

you didnt have your dom shards week 2?

#

;x

plain wing
#

as the raider sheet obviously assumes

nimble jasper
#

same idea

wet scarab
#

I didn't raid all season and got jaithys in my second ever kelthuzad kill so I'm counting on an early tier set bonus

plain wing
#

i cant tell if youre trolling

#

dom shards are completely different drop system than tier tokens

#

tier tokens are guarenteed drops in raid

#

whether you're the one that gets it - thats a diff question

nimble jasper
#

and theres 3 sources for tier from vaulte

wet scarab
#

wonder how a buffed dragon charge does compared to the hunt in damage

plain wing
#

but yea people full clearing will have 4 piece around the 6-8 week mark

#

Not sure if you're not raiding

#

where that'll put you

wet scarab
#

well you'll still be getting potentially tier sets from doing pvp?

#

in the vault that is

plain wing
#

ehhh not reliably

nimble jasper
#

only vault initially

wet scarab
#

yeah so you climb early and hope for the best

plain wing
#

if you're just pvping I wouldnt expect to have a full 4 piece until 1.5 months+ into the new season

#

atleast

wet scarab
#

how? it's the same chance for a vault drop outside of raid

#

so if you aren't clearing early, which most people won't be

nimble jasper
#

no raid drops

plain wing
#

what?

wet scarab
#

so the raid opens, and you get tier items as drops, possibly, from bosses, right?

plain wing
#

yes

#

bosses drop tier tokens

wet scarab
#

if you aren't in a raiding guild and are just pvping, you still can get it if you unlock 3 pvp slots in the vault

#

with a decent chance

#

right?

plain wing
#

way way way lower

fierce elm
#

What was it, 12.5% if you had 3 slots?

wet scarab
#

yes but it's still earlier than if you aren't a heroic raider, no?

fierce elm
#

40% if you had all 9 or something

plain wing
#

@wet scarab raiders will get tier faster

wet scarab
#

not debating faster, debating earlier

fierce elm
#

Raiders will get tier earlier

wet scarab
#

this is with the assumption that they're clearing heroic raid?

nimble jasper
#

doesnt mean you'll run into many at least

#

that are good

wet scarab
#

does tier set drop in normal raid?

nimble jasper
#

yeah

#

lower ilvl

fierce elm
#

It drops in every raid difficulry

plain wing
#

pvpers that also raid

#

are gonna be PUMPING

fierce elm
#

Yes

plain wing
#

early season

nimble jasper
#

are a small minority

#

too

plain wing
#

Eh not really

wet scarab
#

good thing I signed up for the roster this season

plain wing
#

I'd argue theres a good handful around 2100-2400 that raid hardcore as well

nimble jasper
#

more like

plain wing
#

Like look at trill whose gonna be funneled loot for race to world first

nimble jasper
#

1800-2100

plain wing
#

and literally have 4 piece immediately

nimble jasper
#

trill is literally

#

the biggest outlier

#

LOL

plain wing
#

I cant wait to watch the clips of it hahaha

#

when he has 4 piece like right off the bat

wet scarab
#

I mean raiding culture is a lot different now, we used to raid like 4 nights a week back in vanilla, tbc, wrath, seems more people are doing 1 or 2 nights now

plain wing
#

and is pushing arena after rw1

wet scarab
#

so you can push both easily

nimble jasper
#

then not make top 8

#

in awc

plain wing
#

liquid baby

#

but yea gonna be funny to see trill fucking blast with 4 piece

#

like 2 weeks into season

nimble jasper
#

dew's team is one of the weaker ones

plain wing
#

cant wait for the wow daily clips

nimble jasper
#

in awc

#

tbh

ashen obsidian
#

dont they timegqate a ton of progression anyway?

nimble jasper
#

monk tierset is kinda mid anyway

#

not really

#

first 8 are open week 1

plain wing
#

there's gonna be a super super weird 3+ weeks where arena is gonna be so fucking wild.... the window where like a lot of people have the 4 pc, but a lot still don't..... gonna be toxic

nimble jasper
#

then last 3

#

well

#

c9 is supposedly not competing as a team

#

and nick is still banned

#

so thats two of the top teams out

#

forgot

#

prob tbc

#

kubzy playing highest war on NA ladder

#

was pretty funny

nimble jasper
#

when the season comes

plain wing
#

@nimble jasper I prolly wont really pvp until I have 4 pc

#

especially if arms is as week as it looks

nimble jasper
#

its not even that big....

#

first 1-2 weeks no one is gonna have tier

plain wing
#

and fury is the move

#

Yea, ill pvp prolly first 1-2weeks

#

then take a break or something

#

do pve

nimble jasper
#

idk mud said arms is still good

#

so uhh

plain wing
#

yea i dont really have any input, im still a pvp noob so i just listen to what others say

#

so i hope its still good!

minor vector
#

squishy or not arms will be fine, and fury's looking a bit more viable

#

definitely not taking over though

nimble jasper
#

squishy doesnt mean a spec is bad tbh

#

look at monks

minor vector
#

100%

ashen obsidian
#

fury is fun... but if you dont land that initial kill... its scary

minor vector
#

we'll just have to see how the meta goes

near delta
# nimble jasper prob tbc

Was really wondering how chan was gonna just not play retail for like 5 months then drop into awc again lol

#

Method NA too stronk imo

nimble jasper
#

method na debatable too

#

since hpal not so hot

#

atm

wet scarab
#

didn't they get buffed a lot in pvp across the board?

nimble jasper
#

their mana still sucks

near delta
#

They're going to get full tier pieces on tourney realm right?

nimble jasper
#

which matters more for tourney play

#

XD

near delta
#

And necro hpal was so supposed to be pretty good

wet scarab
#

ah true

minor vector
#

6% buff then didn't they nerf their mana with the rest of them

near delta
#

Also drake is now an r1 feral too which will be interesting

nimble jasper
#

s1 hpal was so toxic but

#

the changes are kinda

#

wat

#

drake played rogue this season i thought

wet scarab
#

question, I didn't get on the PTR, are we going to be doing mixing and matching with pve gear amid the vers nerf?

nimble jasper
#

gbg stronk

near delta
#

Ye

wet scarab
#

or sticking to pvp vendors

near delta
#

Drake was r1 on rogue, feral, and arms

minor vector
#

probably not, vers as a stat is just too strong to give up

#

especially with defensive nerfs

nimble jasper
#

i forgot what his feral was named

near delta
#

Drakemeow or somethign like that

#

Drizzymeow

nimble jasper
#

oh he q'ed it at the end yeah

ashen obsidian
#

need the defense from verse

#

learned the hard way

plain wing
#

what is the beginning of a season like?

#

Constantly queuing into super good players since everyone is at same cr and mmr

#

?

minor vector
#

wild west for a few weeks

steep inlet
#

Yes Bruin

#

3800 players at 2300 2400 basically

#

played Blizo maro Cara etc in every season beginnings

plain wing
#

but i mean climbing to 1800 lets say

#

fucking stressed

#

dont trust my abilities

#

at all

full quiver
#

lol probably not if climbing to 2100 was hard

plain wing
#

cuz im bad and frustrated

#

get frustrated/ dont learn*

wet scarab
#

yeah you might want to let the chips fall in the first few weeks and do pve for a while

#

it's pretty easy to climb to 1600 early on if you're decent then you start hitting walls

nimble jasper
#

1800 is pretty chill

full quiver
#

lol

#

can't wait to try and knock out 2100 and get dumpstered by rogues

#

trinket one go

#

die in duel

near delta
wet scarab
#

there might be a bit of a swing towards more 2s in the early days to get the max conduits

#

only way to get them all in pvp is elite I think

full quiver
#

yeah i was wondering about that

lucid walrus
#

it’s where you’ll learn a lot if you’re receptive though

nimble jasper
#

sub 2k is pretty free

#

even start of season

plain wing
#

@lucid walrus feel like im not receptive though... cuz i tunnel hard and am not aware so its hard to learn what im doing wrong/how to improve ya know

wet scarab
#

you gotta work on that to get better

#

get high before arena games or w/e

#

my disc priest seems to perform better when he does lol

#

but for real being calm under pressure is a good skill to have, arena or otherwise

#

and it's a muscle you work on

gloomy beacon
#

Heck even in life lol

full quiver
#

yeah better practice it before you get drafted into ww3

plain wing
#

ah fuck

near delta
raw summit
near delta
#

Are kyrian necro comps p much dead now?

#

Well kyrian drood

raw summit
#

fuck link

#

im not sure on it but i hope its dead

wet scarab
#

most of the kyrian druids I was playing with in the late season were practicing necro and night fae again

#

they felt the nerf just made it not worth it anymore

#

that along with the vers nerf might make necro DHs a bit more tolerable

warm quiver
#

Well the vers went from 8% to 3 % right. They didn’t need the 15% dam buff when you hit link did they.

steep inlet
#

i need prot okay just for skin and feel haha

wet scarab
#

I want to use it because I got the chain mace weapon mog from ZM yesterday

#

and it's a 1H

#

it's also blue which goes perfectly with Barricade of Eternity

finite fox
#

Wtf is this prot warrior shenanigans lolol

ashen obsidian
#

prot is king

#

only for gigaChads

finite fox
#

Just saw supatease video

ashen obsidian
#

he leeching from this chat?

sharp meteor
#

supa warr keks

finite fox
#

Maybe? He is doing 55k crits but on a dummy

ashen obsidian
#

lol

wet scarab
#

no external buffs!

full quiver
#

supa tryna to get my shit nerfed

#

but kyrian is not the way

#

it's definitely necro prot with perma banner

ashen obsidian
#

he still learning

full quiver
#

DK or ret with perma banner buff

#

would be spooky af

ashen obsidian
#

100

sharp meteor
#

every time i wonder if prot is viable i look up memphis and he's arms wokege

ashen obsidian
#

he still learning too

sharp meteor
#

I'll probably craft a ghetto glory and try prot later today ratge it has been a hot minute

ashen obsidian
#

caster cleave is a death sentence though

wet scarab
#

leaper leggo vs caster cleave

sharp meteor
#

uptime isn't the issue

wet scarab
#

and perma 15% dmg reduction with shield bash

sharp meteor
#

also probably run at healer keks

ashen obsidian
steep inlet
#

i wonder where supa saw thoses screenshots he talk about

#

for prot pvp

sharp meteor
#

shield bash aimed shot? dander

steep inlet
#

is he here ? :D

ashen obsidian
#

supa out here lurking

finite fox
sharp meteor
#

25% crit damage?

finite fox
#

Yea?

sharp meteor
#

Elysian has been 15% for a few months.

finite fox
#

Oh haven’t noticed my b

sharp meteor
#

You've also got a lot of lockdown with prot, not sure if it needs spear.

#

Although with spear you could perma root some teams

#

at least during their cds

#

which could b funni

finite fox
#

Thts what we have been talking about

#

Lol

I just skimmed for the link and didnt see it haha

Yea I did think the dummy was a bad comparison he should have went into arenas

#

brb gonna play ret war in 1600 games

#

and say most op comp in game cuz no one presses buttons

#

till after they get dinged

sharp meteor
#

can hop on any spec stack modifiers and insta-ding some gamer dad in the depths

near delta
#

Weird he didn't at least show a skirm game or something lol

sharp meteor
#

i think without playing it that prot is just too small of a ball of stats to work, but maybe

finite fox
#

Lmfao Yal are wild we weren’t talking about “how viable is prot war” never once was that mentioned I simply said I wanted to see how hard it hit with verse scaling

sharp meteor
#

because takes so much extra dam

nimble jasper
#

man last season when i was helping a ret pve friend with 1800 it was the best @sharp meteor

#

just triple kill teams on ww

#

cuz no one presses buttons

sharp meteor
#

yeah i played bm and just ate somebody by the second trap every game

#

in hindsight wish we just played double ret

nimble jasper
#

granted i was checking a stream last night

#

they q into a 2.7 jungle

#

where no one uses a trinket into combust tricks bomb blades opener

#

and priest trinkets at 20%

sharp meteor
#

gonna be so whack queuing up on tuesday with no idea of what dam looks like

#

my priest said he can't get queues

nimble jasper
#

“do you think this priest actually decides to trinket high this time”

sharp meteor
#

10 minute wait to queue into smexxin keks

nimble jasper
#

“if he trinkets sub 50% to dome we kill through”

#

classic rmp

sharp meteor
#

thinkin about the fire mages who are going to die through alter 18s cd db ray serenety caut seed and priest rez

#

like hey can we stop buffing the best comp for like one season ty

nimble jasper
#

ngl its so cringe watching

#

jungles die to rmp in opener tho

#

like

hardcounter comp

#

I'm just imagining playing Prot as a legit bouncer lmao

sharp meteor
#

If prot didn't have kneecapped dmg modifier I think it could have potential.

#

I swear it'd just take too much dmg to be playable but maybe not

nimble jasper
#

@sharp meteor mfw i remember

#

outlaw grappling hook has like a 50yd range

sharp meteor
#

I remember in legion accidentally queuing for a bg as prot then asking on forums if it was viable and people are like nah bro that's trolling

#

I check ladder at end of s7 and like 9 of the top 15 players are the same prot/arms/mw team

nimble jasper
#

ahh the dekel/memphis/jbg mancleave special

sharp meteor
#

just queued into memphis and jbg the other day

#

we killed each others shaman and played a rly dull 2v2

lucid walrus
#

was talked about in here not long ago, watched my friend play into it

worldly grail
#

Arms is the only option for pvp right? Even for solo bgs/open world?

sharp meteor
#

Fury was okay and that's probably still the case

#

Fuuuuck why'd they nerf dstance aaaaa

ashen obsidian
#

too OP

sharp meteor
#

it wasn't aaaaa

lucid walrus
#

fury looks less bad now

ashen obsidian
#

both dps specs need serious babysitting

lucid walrus
#

if only bc the gap between them closed a little

sharp meteor
#

40g for a 210 leggo ring, neat

wet scarab
#

I queued into a prot warrior healer in 2s about a couple of months ago, not sure if it was an accident or not, I wasn't trying to kill him until he pissed me off with constant stuns and roots and knockbacks, but some of it was pretty scary

#

I imagine it'd be scarier if I was a squishier class

#

like a 9.2 warrior

worldly grail
#

is it that bad? jeeze lol

nimble jasper
#

not really

wet scarab
#

j/k but I do think it would hit harder against non-plate and maybe would require less babysitting esp against melee cleaves

radiant hamlet
#

Thats a nice looking BoA cosmetic that i looted on my monk

nimble jasper
#

the fuck is that mog

radiant hamlet
#

not the point of discussion.

sharp meteor
#

wtf are those boots

#

8.3 goves

nimble jasper
#

i mean if you play male orc

#

you need your eyes checked so i guess it makes sense

radiant hamlet
#

i play it for the racial

nimble jasper
#

go female orc

#

also tabard doesnt match mog

sharp meteor
#

i love female orc so much 👌

radiant hamlet
#

eh idk

nimble jasper
#

or dont hunch

radiant hamlet
#

just wanted to show you the sword

#

pls chat

nimble jasper
sharp meteor
#

is there a red/black one

nimble jasper
#

thats an actual purple mog

radiant hamlet
#

why barefeet

nimble jasper
#

its a monk

#

why not

#

this season’s tabard on a purple mog is just weird af

lucid walrus
sharp meteor
#

Yeah they fixin rez

lucid walrus
#

can’t wait for shadowlands beta!

sharp meteor
#

thankfully

#

hm i wonder which weapon enchant for prot

radiant hamlet
sharp meteor
#

would vigor be too cringe

lucid walrus
#

is its damage even worth running sinful

nimble jasper
lucid walrus
#

like ascended might honestly be the play

sharp meteor
nimble jasper
#

i dont even wear it

mortal elm
#

can we buy old season tmog with

sharp meteor
mortal elm
#

mark of honor

sharp meteor
#

now the tab requires the char to have the achi

mortal elm
#

Shadowlands season

radiant hamlet
#

i mean the reason i like it is the fact that it's a bit samurai-ish, and if u dont wear a belt it just blends over the legs and not under them

nimble jasper
#

sl babies to have a wearable tabard

sharp meteor
#

actually having the tabard is cool ratge

#

i like my legion elite set and tabard on my dh to bully all the fotm dh players with

nimble jasper
#

yeah

#

why i use magetower glaives

#

and legion elite

sharp meteor
#

my fellow man of culture

radiant hamlet
#

But like what difference would it make if you already unlocked the cosmetic account wide

nimble jasper
#

you have 2 dhs?

sharp meteor
#

of course. the alli one just isn't maintained rn

nimble jasper
#

i use demonic elite lol

sharp meteor
#

yeah that's another quality set

#

i missed the tomb one but got the antorus and emerald nightmare ones

nimble jasper
#

looks better on belf imo

#

cuz of the colors

sharp meteor
#

ya

nimble jasper
#

kinda missed legion tabards tho

#

the fact they rando gave dh an updated illidari tabard

#

🤤

blazing carbon
#

oh damn

wheat jay
#

Doubt it will be good

#

Pvp trinket bonus will still be superior this patch

sharp meteor
#

queued up first 2s in months and beat the shit out of an arms/rdruid somehow as fury

nimble jasper
#

theres the new pvp meme trinkets

#

too

sharp meteor
#

hit him until he went d then he never left it and never did damage

nimble jasper
#

killed 3 hunter teams in 1min as outlaw

blazing carbon
sharp meteor
#

lmao

nimble jasper
#

hunter players

#

not knowing how pirate dmg works

blazing carbon
#

still have ot see the pvp trinkets buffs tho

wheat jay
#

Iirc someone had 8k hp from it

nimble jasper
#

feigning sinister strike

wheat jay
#

Soooo ye

#

Oh wait it was also from warmode

#

Hmm

nimble jasper
#

i have like 63k hp with fort buff

#

i think?

wheat jay
#

We'll have to see

#

But pvp trinkets will most likely be better

nimble jasper
#

pirate its extra funny since i think its pushing over 75k hp

#

with stacks

blazing carbon
#

But yeah damn , I hope the pvp trinket swill eb better

nimble jasper
#

they are

#

theres an on use trink from pvp

blazing carbon
#

cuz don't forget it's 40k damage, with 100% leech and 20% move speed

wheat jay
#

Actually

#

Its 3s

#

40k heal in 3s

#

Hmmmm

#

Oh well

#

I believe trinket+pvp grenade will be better

blazing carbon
#

What's the pvp grenade?

new tinket

fury/mw vs fire/hpriest and my monk is 100% mana when the priest is tapped keks

i swear so bad

get owned idiot

#

yah

#

short blind cd so blind him on all his cds

#

get rekt peasant

#

this spec sucks into rogue mage tho

lucid walrus
#

i'm sure

nimble jasper
#

oh yeah @sharp meteor mag was playing

#

bounding stride double time

#

into mm rdruid

sharp meteor
#

yeah i can see it

near delta
nimble jasper
#

yeah

near delta
#

He legit just left a game against them on Tuesday night lmao

nimble jasper
#

hunter rdruid is

#

test of patience

#

unless rdruid is a complete idiot

raw summit
#

Hunter rdu is a oh im necro guess ill have mw damp typa game

#

As kyr is fine

nimble jasper
#

nah you shouldnt win

#

even as kyr

raw summit
#

Yea not realistically

#

But hunters pepega feign wounds etc

sharp meteor
#

avg hunter/rdruid team isn't flop/chun

nimble jasper
#

yeah low rated hunters

raw summit
#

I play shackle into that so they feign it and then i wb spear em

nimble jasper
#

i had a hunter last night

#

feign a sinister strike

#

….like what

#

the fuck is that

near delta
#

Lmao

raw summit
#

Honestly kinda spooked about the possibility to run into good players early season

nimble jasper
#

pirate is actually so fun into hunters

raw summit
#

I dont wanna get clapped sadge

nimble jasper
#

most of them have 0 idea what you do

#

so they’ll trinket a random kidney for fun

near delta
#

How does one deal with outlaws?

raw summit
#

Dont hit into evasion

#

For one

nimble jasper
#

outlaw mw is pretty keks into melee

near delta
#

Every time I queue into them they just do nutso damm while seemingly pressing random buttons

nimble jasper
#

deal with 2 disarms

#

and bad kill targets

sharp meteor
#

double disarms keks

raw summit
#

Got tilted to the moon

#

Lost

nimble jasper
#

also outlaw has like a 50 yd range grappling hook

raw summit
#

Felt like i couldnt touch either

nimble jasper
#

the burst is mostly just

#

flag dreadblades

#

with a big pistol shot from greenskin’s

#

otherwise its just rando pve dam

raw summit
#

Theyre gonna fix res Lego/res thing interaction

#

PogU

nimble jasper
#

the pistols dont hit overly hard on plate

#

like 11-12k crit

#

@raw summit also idk if they fixed it

#

but you used to be able to gouge monks mid fof channel

raw summit
raw summit
#

I hate turbofists

#

Disgusting Talent

nimble jasper
#

yeah havent checked if you can parry it

near delta
#

Does disarming the flag do anything at least?

nimble jasper
#

yeah every bte cast giga buffs one pistol shot cast within the next 10 secs or so

#

yeah cant press anything besides pistolshot

sharp meteor
#

flag is more damage on finishers which is quite good to stop

#

along with dreadblades

nimble jasper
#

they get popped together

#

albeit kinda slow

#

since both on gcd

near delta
#

I should just get some one handers on my lil rogue alt and try it out

nimble jasper
#

its great fun

#

you just shit on hunters

near delta
#

Bye yall. Outlaw main nao

nimble jasper
#

its worse with a mage and 3s tho

#

cuz sub still stronger in rmp

raw summit
#

My oulaw is 36 seramore

#

24 more and i can shit on hunts

nimble jasper
#

sustained dmg is kinda why craven value is lower

#

except raz on eu was q’ing with a painsmith wep in his offhand

#

for the bleed

nimble jasper
#

cuz 90% chance you roll another buff for 15s

raw summit
#

Outlaw venthyr for pvp?

#

And then sub as kyr

nimble jasper
#

yeah

#

dunno about next seas

#

might be kyr both

raw summit
#

2 covenants seems fine

nimble jasper
#

or you just live with your flag desync’ed

#

every time

#

ik some guys just played necro with alacrity

#

for 0 burst 100% w key damage

raw summit
#

Was gonna say arent they necro pve

#

But pve in pvp is big dh vibes

#

Aka cringe

nimble jasper
#

uhh kyrian pve

#

frost kleia gamers

#

in sod

raw summit
#

Emeni Outlaw decent in keys i thought

#

Used to be at least

nimble jasper
#

yeah the 2 keys you play outlaw in

raw summit
#

PF n ?

nimble jasper
#

top

#

low target counts

raw summit
#

Outlaw semi sweeping strikes kinda cool

#

Ngl

nimble jasper
#

altho you cant do anything neat like sweeping double sharpen

raw summit
#

Yea sweeping in 2s is illegal

#

So fucking good

#

They all stack

nimble jasper
#

when the melee guy is big dumdum

raw summit
#

Double spear wb sweep

nimble jasper
#

and walks onto his rsham

#

so you sweeping

#

go into battle drop the wb double spear

raw summit
#

My favorite thing

nimble jasper
#

i’ve made people link so many times

#

when doing that

wet scarab
#

Any good tips for fury in arena, haven’t played it in so long

sharp meteor
#

idk damage bot one person seems like

#

fury does a lot of damage for having a perma big ms

vocal frigate
#

How do we answer HoP?

#

Seems like all the CC we could use to stall is immune

lucid walrus
#

what now

sage raptor
#

Wow

#

I predicted Outlaw and Prot warr.

#

Js

#

Prot warr counters DH very well.

nimble jasper
#

outlaw’s been a thing

lucid walrus
#

lots of lockdown yeah?

vocal frigate
#

They do chaos damage and it slices right through ShB and armor.

sharp meteor
#

i could see the lockdown being okay but yeah havoc is the last thing you want hitting you as prot keks

#

healer would be like hey buddy why are you losing 20% of your health a second as a fucking tank spec

vocal frigate
#

Basically. This sounds like some low elo copium

#

You can get killed in a stun if a DH has coolies up

sharp meteor
#

i need to play prot to be sure but i really imagine they are just too vulnerable for their dmg output

vocal frigate
#

You can do like 12K shield slams, but it's really still not worth it.

#

The massive increase in damage intake and the rather unremarkable consistency in pressure just makes them garbo

nimble jasper
#

i ran into a prot war when doing a daily rbg win on my rogue yesterday

#

he died in the first kidney though

vocal frigate
#

^

#

You have to trink the open or you can get clowned

elder wigeon
#

you can do like 80k shield slams on prot war with the tier set

nimble jasper
#

kinda squish spec

#

idk

nimble jasper
#

get blinded and lose your base

#

then /ruffle

vocal frigate
#

That's basically how it works. Prot is a meme on a good day. You either trinket the open or die in the open.

nimble jasper
#

its actually such a great emote

vocal frigate
#

There's no inbetween

#

If you survive the rogue was trash

vocal frigate
nimble jasper
#

lmao i let the other rogue guard quarry

#

he manages to die to a single warrior

vocal frigate
#

Because that sounds like some extreme polemical bullshit

nimble jasper
#

then i take the same base back without trading a single defensive

elder wigeon
sharp meteor
#

oh my sham said he was queuing into rio trying prot the other day, i didn't ask how it went

#

said he played a few as arms and just exploded so he tried prot

sage raptor
vocal frigate
#

Lol what a substantive response

#

maximum broscience chud

#

I dunno about Crackling Thunder for this.

#

Maybe for less mobile teams

sharp meteor
vocal frigate
#

Not very.

#

You have IP, SR, and Wall.

#

That's it.

#

Well, Demo

#

DH can still clown you since they can run away when you're bursting and can nuke you when your CDs are down

sharp meteor
#

what's the tank modifier now? like 50%+ increased dam taken?

vocal frigate
#

Yeah.

sharp meteor
#

just queued into a prot pala and he was taking it the entire gaame

vocal frigate
#

Why isn't he using badge?

wet scarab
#

Time to prot or macro your IP to overpower bois

#

With the amount we’re getting railed your rage gen shouldn’t be a problem

vocal frigate
#

You only get 5 RFDT per second

#

That's basically nothing

#

Like, sure - I'll take it, but it's rarely going to be huge.

ashen obsidian
#

we still trying to make prot work?

fickle forge
#

It might have good chances of being good

ashen obsidian
#

yeah, im just joking. Prot might be viable

wet scarab
#

Can you still shield slam if you’re disarmed

vocal frigate
#

1000% if Prot starts picking up steam in any high rated play Blizz will nerf it into the floor

#

They basically want to edge tanks out of anything that isn't an RBG

wet scarab
#

They’ll never nerf it because it isn’t as good at self healing as the other tanks

#

Prot paladins got their own solo shuffle bracket because of their self sustain

sharp meteor
#

rip the bung

vocal frigate
#

Maybe not, but there's gonna be a loud gaggle of unwashed crybaby masses that will kick and scream. With Blizz trying to appease as many players as possible with every move of late it stands to reason they'll hobble it.

#

Especially if tanks do anything resembling one-shots.

wet scarab
#

They’ll hobble tanks more broadly sure but it would be dumb to single out prot warriors in the current state of bear tanks in BGs

#

Where they are basically the only viable ones

vocal frigate
#

They've done dumber things.

wet scarab
#

Prot warrior is also great because nobody understands their abilities

vocal frigate
#

K e k

wet scarab
#

If you think fotm demon hunters can counter us lul

vocal frigate
#

There's not a lot to understand tbh.

wet scarab
#

Maybe we should all switch to prot warrior at the start of the season and be like surprise motherfuckers

nimble jasper
#

thats true of alot of specs

wet scarab
#

You’re overestimating the WoW player base

nimble jasper
#

swear so many people

#

dont know how survival works

#

for example

vocal frigate
#

Prot does a lot of the same shit as other specs. Only novelty is maybe LS.

sage raptor
vocal frigate
#

I can't see what people will be taken for a loop by.

#

The real weird shit is in the honor talents.

#

But a 2 of the 3 are spoken for as passives so the last ace is the 3rd

#

idk, I can't see people being so shocked by prot kit that they'll have no idea what to do

nimble jasper
#

i enjoyed q’ing into legion prot war

#

and getting mini rooted

#

every other global

vocal frigate
#

Stompy stompy

wet scarab
#

Lol exactly people don’t really know how any of the abilities interact with each other. Why am I getting rooted by thunderclap. Why are my attacks slower during my goes. Why does he have 500k health all of a sudden without rallying cry. Why is my attack power low. Why are my frost bolts hitting less hard

lucid walrus
#

we got robodrome every time so they could just run

wet scarab
#

Wtf is shockwave

lucid walrus
#

frontal stun

wet scarab
#

No I know I’m impersonating other pvpers

lucid walrus
#

ah lmao

wet scarab
#

Why do warriors have the hunt

nimble jasper
#

i love players in the depths

sharp meteor
#

wow fury is funny in bgs

nimble jasper
#

not understanding how deatborne works

sharp meteor
#

haven't played signet in so long

nimble jasper
#

and just facetanking frostbolts

#

or healers dying to deathbolt

lucid walrus
#

i unironically don’t know what it does but i’m well aware it’s a lot of damage

nimble jasper
#

instead of just dispelling soulrot

sharp meteor
#

frost has a lot of modifiers

nimble jasper
#

i mean year is 2022

#

people still think xuen was a big ww burst cd

#

and not bonedust

wet scarab
#

Imagine your first dragon charge shockwave trying to kite a prot warrior

#

Or if you get stunned every heroic leap with leaper on as a hunter

#

They’re like what is happening
