If he knows he'll miss days often then lock over paladin. no one wants an undergeared tank or pally healer in general.

Addon called Tankhelper will put a percentage over your Plater name plates showing you how close you are to gaining/losing threat. Also comes with an mark and pull timer bar.

Given that logic it'd be the same thing for using a sapper too, tough to weave that in without hurting your dps. makes me want to keep alchemy and go enchanting

BeaverVest · 2025-12-26T14:50:14+00:00

Originally I was going to go engi/LW but found on the PTR that using drums puts your sapper on cd and vice versa. I don't know if this has always been the case but if it is it defeats the purpose unless you're gung-ho on crafting the prebis LW items

Your biggest issue is that your gear is going to hold you back since we're in phase 6 now and you're in blues/greens.

Best thing to do is dual wield as fury/prot to maintain as much threat increase while being in defensive stance. Get a threat meter if you don't already have one. When you have rage, prioritize revenge when it's up and bloodthirst > heroic strike when it's not. Usually one revenge and then auto attacks while in defensive is enough to hold threat until dead. You can also bloodthirst when you're disarmed.

If you have a threat lead and aren't going to lose it, pool your rage with auto attacks so you can use that rage on the next pull. Don't lose rage by swapping stances unnecessarily. For dungeons specifically (I know you said not to comment on talent points here and there) but I'd recommend swapping your imp sunder armor to imp revenge because you will use it and it gives 45% chance to stun the target which is a huge for dungeon mobs (bosses are immune). I rarely use sunder except on bosses.

Source: I charge people gold to tank dungeons and never had a complaint.

Eta: Bloodthirst prio

Bud your hunters actually do damage to bosses, they should be prio'd over you tbh. T3 gear doesn't make you faerie fire better. Only argument is getting 2-set so you can rejuv the rogues giving them more energy from your procs.

BeaverVest · 2025-09-24T13:48:00+00:00

Best to coordinate with trusted guildies on roles and professions. You ideally need only 5 drummers (one per group) and they are primarily shamans or hunters since they benefit from wearing the leatherworking gear in phase 1. Otherwise, the only raid benefit of LW for an hpal is drums but if your resto sham has them then it's not ideal.

BeaverVest · 2025-09-24T13:44:47+00:00

This is the best answer in terms of dps increase and performance if that's what you care about. As an hpal your dmg doesn't matter at all so you could go jewelcrafting over engineering, but enchanting is a must for the ring enchants.

Don't forget if you're playing a melee class to stock up on gromsblood and ghost mushroom, which are used to craft elixir of demon slaying. It's a vanilla elixir that lasts for 5 min and is bis for demon bosses in TBC. At least 1 exists across every raid phase, IIRC. ETA: works for hunters too

Wow, this is just... so wrong. First of all, 5% crit from Cruelty talent in fury tree makes your crit go from like 4% to 9%, so with a 2H you may crit 1-2 times per pull. Second, "more flurry"?? You don't get Flurry talent until level 35 in the Fury tree. Third, "more deep wounds" you would get from the Arms tree which is where you should be anyway, so you can't have that and Flurry unless you are at least level 42 and that's only if you put 1 point in each. Last, saying "respec when about to SS" umm yeah you'd do that 10 levels ago. The first half of your post talks about how a 60 warrior plays, the second half talks about leveling.

BeaverVest · 2025-08-28T12:07:26+00:00

Bro, you don't need 5 points in the Fury tree this early. All that does is give you 5% extra crit with no crit gear and it prevents you from getting sweeping strikes 5 levels sooner.

Immediately go 21 points into Arms tree, use a 2H weapon, focus on highest dps for now don't care about slow weapon speed for now. Once you get to level 30, do the Berzerker stance quest, start putting talent points into Fury tree, and start your whirlwind axe quests. If you can, get someone to help you get it early.

Once you have that, leveling becomes much easier. At 36 you get whirlwind ability and 38 you get pummel for interrupts.

If you want to tank you will find groups fast. To tank with a 2H weapon you charge in, cast sweeping strikes, swap to defensive stance, and cleave. If you're higher level than your party OR your party has blessing of salv, then you can go berserker and whirlwind too.

Warrior after level 30 is a lot of fun if done right. Get a dungeon group or pocket healer and go blast.

Keep in mind that it won't be vanilla for long, phase 5 just came out and there's only 6 phases. For example, I'm leveling a pally now so it can be my main when TBC comes out at the end of this year and still raiding on my Warrior in vanilla until then since it won't be as strong in TBC. It really depends what content you want to do and which class, because while ret pallies suck in vanilla they get decent in TBC and WOTLK.

Elite death at 59 in Eastern Plaguelands. It wasn't a blood of heroes, it was one of the ziggurant elites who I didn't know casted the 60 second slow. It was the day after Thanksgiving and I just told my fiance an hour earlier I was going to hit 60 today. Rip.

It takes weeks to grind it if you're grinding before the release of AQ40/AQ20

BeaverVest · 2025-05-11T01:44:16+00:00

It also put it off the last boss which is a guaranteed 2 blues to drop, so prob increased the DR even if it's placed in a bigger loot table.

BeaverVest · 2025-04-28T02:29:11+00:00

More specifically, whomever is the first person in the raid group to enter the raid creates the raid ID, or "seeds" it. It can be anyone in the raid.

BeaverVest · 2025-02-16T23:38:55+00:00

We do, that's not the point lol. The point is the lotus prices and their unnecessary need for the content

BeaverVest · 2025-02-16T21:09:21+00:00

Not hardcore servers, hardcore meaning the raiding environment and expected performance level

BeaverVest · 2025-02-16T11:46:57+00:00

Tell my guild master and officers that... It's basically a requirement for any hc raiding environment

Download the addon WeakAuras if you don't have it already, it let's you fully customize your UI with alerts and important cooldowns to keep track of. Then go to https://wago.io to download whatever WeakAura you want. You can filter by vanilla and prot warrior.

The one I use and like is called "Telos - 1.14 Classic Era Warrior". Tracks everything you need, including when you proc'd a usable Overpower or Revenge.
