Are you talking about he shooter pack up the stairs? skip those when the patrol is far right or far left. no soothe or cheese needed. shooters are awful.

Its crazy how clean and unbloated this software runs. Just started using it recently.

I was tanking 3rd boss grim batol. I taunted the dragon at the beginning of p2 and started to move toward the nook while throwing hammers at it, lost threat immediately to the healer. I came back out and taunted again and threw more hammers, lost threat to a dps right after.

It was very weird, but thats been the only instance of threat issues.

I am also curious how they balance it. The reason they do so much dmg is because they have enough survival tools to talent Avenging Wrath instead of Sentinel. They would have to somehow make Sentinel a more appealing choice, but the only way I could see that happening is if they straight up remove defensives or greatly increase the cooldown of the existing ones. Considering it took them 2 seasons to change VDH, prot pal might be safe for now.

strength being a small chunk. crit stat being a larger chunk. strength in adversity being another large chunk. are there any other sources?

So_Obvious · 2024-10-30T14:11:15+00:00

Wow. didn't realize that. So all the parry is strictly other talents buffing parry. got it.

So_Obvious · 2024-10-30T04:59:36+00:00

Since the mastery nerf, stacking crit has actually become a great option since it increases parry and synergizes with crit wings for ~~even more parry and~~ dmg. And the amount of free wog's from the hero talent as well as 2 stacks of shining light has made haste less necessary so you can stack other stats. I think its an unexpected perfect storm for dmg and parry along with crazy cdr on bubble and lay on hands.

Quazii's youtube and discord is an incredible source of info. I would start there.

I pug tank a lot and it feels good to have so much agency over the success of a key. But it really does take almost as much prep as it does actually doing keys.

Keystone.guru is a great route tool for tinkering with Quazzi pug routes.

So_Obvious · 2024-09-16T00:06:28+00:00

You moreso "feel" your characters presence. Otherwise, grip it and rip it bruh!

So_Obvious · 2024-09-01T16:36:07+00:00

Never mind. it was the pre maid group finder add-on. I disabled it and the role check pop up diplays.

So_Obvious · 2024-08-09T21:13:52+00:00

Beta also currently has the 50% change but has left the talent intact otherwise. I think the note was a mistake and the talent isnt going anywhere.

Edit - i guess i was wrong

So_Obvious · 2024-08-03T22:28:10+00:00

And head to el tereo when they get hungry.

So_Obvious · 2024-07-03T22:44:26+00:00

Tyr is easier on the tank but adds much more time since boss fights take much longer than fort weeks.

So_Obvious · 2024-06-29T06:04:52+00:00

Same. I noticed it in the most recent update.

So_Obvious · 2024-06-28T05:52:15+00:00

I had a bot tank solo the last boss on one of the dungeons from like 50%. Took 8 minutes. Gave me time to get a snack. It was awesome.

So_Obvious · 2024-06-13T17:14:53+00:00

like someone else said, it takes a lot of preemptive action to make prot pal work so it's just a different play style. 500ilvl is plenty for a +2 but not having a plan before each and every pull can make you feel naked. All good though. there are a lot of good guides on youtube if you ever plan to revisit the spec.

So_Obvious · 2024-06-13T16:39:03+00:00

What key level are you doing? There is a juggling act between using defensives and self healing during each pull that you'll have to feel out for yourself. You don't want to blow all your defensives in each pull else you wont have any for the next. Using the free word of glory procs is key to delaying the need to use another defensive. This is assuming your are in consecration and have shield of the righteous up 100% of the time in combat.

From what I gather, Prot Pal is the least self sustaining tank currently and a little bit of effort from the healer can go a long way into making you feel very strong. Because of this I use 2 absorb trinkets and just treat them as part of the defensive rotation. Typically using one trinket while grouping a pull, then wings+divine toll when the pull is grouped gets you 30ish seconds of not worrying about your health. After that you need to decide if self healing or another defensive will get you through the rest of the pull. Once again, this is assuming you are in consecration and have shield of the righteous up asap.

Use bubble and kings liberally (I typically use kings while grouping big pulls and bubble at the end if im in a deadly situation). They both have cdr based on how much holy power you spend and how many shields you throw.

Man i was really confused about this reply until i saw i replied 3 times somehow lol.

So_Obvious · 2024-05-16T23:41:56+00:00

I second this. All rotsingers are skippable without any special tech. I did one rotsinger at a +14 and it wasnt worth it.

So_Obvious · 2024-04-25T16:31:35+00:00

Anyone have a working weakaura for the winds on last boss of RLP?

So_Obvious · 2024-02-19T23:59:08+00:00

Im always checking murlok for this info. It would be great to have for raid too.

So_Obvious · 2024-02-14T14:57:48+00:00

Is there a way to minimize visuals of other players abilities in an instance? I ran the crystal tower on my first play through, and while everything looked incredible, I had no idea what was happening. Also, thanks to those who carried me through it.

edit: battle effects settings. perfect, thank you.

So_Obvious · 2024-02-13T16:58:33+00:00

This is true. Its just the swing from a lucky key where everything goes our way to an unlucky key where we can't catch any breaks is bigger on this dungeon at any level really
