Check the sims, DPS warrior is on the bottom tier in both specs. Prot struggles because they often don’t have enough rage to press their abilities when it matters most.
Blizzard, are you looking at Warriors at all? Help us, Blizzard, you’re our only hope! ![:frowning:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/frowning.png?v=6" ":frowning:")
I never have rage problems as prot. I’m usually in danger of overcapping rage which is when I use IP.
Actually, looking at your spec makes me think maybe I should have been taking booming voice all along. I think maybe I’ll go tank some M+ this weekend and see if that extra rage makes the difference. I was taking devastator for some reason.
I mean the 40 extra rage from demo shout is nice in a pinch, but even without it you shouldn’t be running into rage issues. If you’re low on rage, that tells me you might be spamming revenge. Make sure you’re only using revenge when it’s a free proc, and only if TC or SS are both on CD. You can definitely burn through all your rage easily if you mismanage your abilities as Prot.
Well this is just wrong.
You mean the profiles that aren’t finished, on the sim comparison list that doesn’t matter, and exists to mess with people like you that don’t understand them? Wow. Well played.
We don’t need help. For God’s sake.
I hit my head off my desk. Thanks.
I’ll just have to practice. I’m not sure maybe that is what I am doing. I have talked to several prot warriors in game and they’ve all suggested that this is a problem for mythic raiding. I’ve never done much prot, but the little bit I did did not feel very good and that is all I have to go off of.
Perhaps, if you don’t have any experience as prot, you shouldn’t make doom and gloom posts about prot on the warrior forums lol. Not to be mean, but it’s a bit silly to make these kinds of posts from a place of misinformation.
It was more of a general post and the little bit I have done it just doesn’t feel nearly as good as my prot pally or bear tank. It’s not like I was completely talking out of my butt. I’m saying that even compared to the other rage tank it doesn’t feel like it has as much rage or good defensives. When I compare it to a different style altogether it is way behind.
Bear is the worst tank, by a good mile mate. Even post buffs. You’ve got some perspective to work on.
Again, I think you might just be playing it wrong. Give icyveins another look, make sure you have your spec done correctly and are using the right rotation. Prot is in an amazing place and if you’re having issues, it’s likely because of something you may be doing wrong. I hope you don’t think I’m attacking you, I’m just trying to help you improve and see Prot for what it is.
Pretty sure Devastator removes the rage from autos. Think I read that in the pinned messages on skyhold. I ran that as a trial and it was trash.
I haven’t tested it, but to my knowledge the only use of Devastator is dps parsing (which is only on a few bosses anyway) and Thrash tanking
The ML 5 I ran as a test left me pretty starved. I just wanted to see if there was an affix or something that might have benefited from a more open rotation (no global lock). I was very wrong. I went from flooded to constantly concerned about management and no way to compensate for errors.
Lower dps on arms is likely due to people trying out new builds with azerite traits, and this data needs a while for it to be more accurate.
And the prot problems is a definite git gud problem.
Drez posts are always worth a read and this one didn’t disappoint.
While this is definitely true, it’s also probably got something to do with EP being gone, so now we can’t mega pad the meter on the last 35% of bosses.
Which might mean that rend may be more appealing very soon.
I would not call our dps bottom tier at all. In high mythic keystones I am always on top and raids I do very well. I am either at the top or close to it but never bottom tier. As far as dps goes I think we are in a perfect spot.
For some perspective post buff:
I tanked heroic fetid on Tuesday and it was obscene. I mitigated almost 70% of the damage I took. Our physical mitigation is extremely powerful right now. I’d venture to say is is a bit too powerful.
