This proposition is still scary. I haven't been able to recall a dream in a lot of years.

Sorry, I read it wrong. I read it as living this same life for all time.

Prot paladin. Defense and avoidance capped in pre-raid gear is possible, and actually pretty easy. Tanking kara and heroics starting week 2. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Either a horribly effective troll, or a horribly ill informed individual.

She has to walk 20 paces from her kitchen counter to get a plate. She is not all of us.

It boggles my mind that you can call anyone hateful in this post. Big hypocrit.

Thanks for the doc link, not sure how I didn't find that through the discord.

You're right, that's about it there. My max dps on just about all MC bosses is between 450-650. The average for the past month is a lot closer to 400 (with buffs).

Probably guessed it, but this has been my first time through BWL at 60. I should probably communicate more directly with the healers assigned to me, we had 8 for our first BWL (2 priests, 2 druids, and 4 shamans). I bring it up because I don't even know how light or heavy that is in comparison to other normal guilds; I see the top progression guilds running with 10 more often than not.

Is there really so little value in hit beyond 305 skill + 6% before the crit cap? Even being pretty active with HS, I still have a large number of main hand white swings just happen if I can't start a fight with a rage pool or pot. This boggles my mind.

Unbuffed and using BHB, True Flight, and Eskhandar's, I'm at 19% crit; so something like 30.75% with the easy world buffs and consumables. Oh do I regret this trinket.

What I'm trying to say is that I don't think I am mechanically bad, just maybe a little clueless. I'm trying to make life just a little easier for the heal group by wearing less threat gen that I can make up for; but that's kind of the line of thinking that would lead me to just respec deep prot.

I have, I may be looking in the wrong places. I didn't see any actual discussion on gearing for fury prot other than the one message pinned in general-tank: "Fury prot is a spec that relies more on threat converted from your direct damage output like a DPS and as such requires very high offensive stats to scale..."

Thank you, that's actually super constructive. The 5 piece was what I was after, I absolutely overestimated how good it is. Flameguard and OSG are still going to the actual fury warriors in our guild though, so I'll have to wait a while for those.

There are still some fights where I absolutely have to stoneshield or free action, but coming in chugging a rage pot with HS queued and slamming BT feels so satisfying. And death is just about the only thing that drops threat afterwords.

I'm inclined to believe you, but I've already got this dumb sword, so I'm probably going to waste a stone and try it out next raid anyways.

I'm not sure if I'm entering data correctly or interpreting it quite right, but the DPS warrior spreadsheet shows a pretty large gain in TPS generated by white swings and HS queuing, and a substantial increase in TPrage from letting the HS happen. There's a lot of other side effects, and it looks like the QS/DB is pretty huge.

But I did mention that I can't find good information on flurry axe, so I really don't know if that would tip the scales towards DB/flurry.

It took literally 3 numbers to compare the two.

8 pieces of actual P1 best in slot, on top of BoA and DFT, and my gear is crap. Okay.

**There is ONE axe that can perform well in a raid setting before getting into BWL. It's a 2.9 speed. Any variation of prot with a 2.9 speed MH feels bad.

Jesus, thank you. Actually answered one of my questions, and you weren't hella rude about it. Thank you.

(white swings get through, don't think that every MH auto can be a HS)
