I am a little confused... in the stat priority page it puts versatility pretty much on top and haste pretty low... but on the bis and gear recommendations there is not a single item with versatility?? did i miss something here?

The gear in BiS lists is from raid environments only - Emerald Nightmare has barely any Vers gear at all, so you have to make the best of what is there, unfortunately. There's something like 5 total pieces of Vers gear in EN. This means it's better to gear for Haste if you're gearing from EN.

I haven't tested this since the last hotfix/patch, but in late September, Ultimatum-triggered focused rage casts did NOT proc the Vengeance effect. Hence, Ultimatum has no benefit to survivability.

Hello everybody, 

In the guide it said that the 4 legendaries that are named are better then all other available legendaries for prot warrior. 
But I gained Mannoroth's Bloodletting Manacles ( You heal 1% of maximum health for every 10 Rage you spend. ) and I get a huge healing boost for myself. Last heroic raid ( xavius ) I was even top healing because the item healed myself for over 30m.

My question is, why is this item not in the list?

I'm really not shure about the stat prio recommandation. If you're going 4 haste it means a high uptime of SB. In my opinion: the higher uptime you got, the better mastery gets. At this point it makes no sense to stack haste and then go 4 versatility.

So i see exactly 2 options, depending on boss.

Str > haste > mastery > versatility > crit

Or

Str > versatility > mastery > haste > crit

So, i would really appreciate a bref reason of that prio. And plz get away with simulations to prove tanking-states :-)

I don't get how Treckie approves this guide with the stat priority Haste->Versatily->Mastery when he is clearly going Versatility->Mastery->Haste himself.

I guess he just gives his okay to get more people visiting his stream etc.?

Well if he's doing the highest difficulty content you might find the passive setup he's using (mass mastery/vers like most of the high rank warriors) is probably because at that content level that benefit starts to become more important just to live from the big hits in mythic. The guides are usually written to cover most warriors in which case the haste build starts to appropriate.

Flask of Ten Thousand Scars Icon Flask of Ten Thousand Scars (stronger Ignore Pain Icon Ignore Pains)  ? ^^ IP scale with AP not HP so for "stronger" IP the STR flask is correct .

Yeah i think its more their wording which is incorrect.  The stam flask will increase the cap of your shield stacking, the str will increase the size of each shield on spell use.  Since in most high content reaching the cap when tanking actively is near impossible the stam is really more for survival with big hits, so technically it is probably better as the "burst" reduction one, and the str is technically "stonger IP"

Weights for tanks are pretty much impossible to have for all gear levels. You'll need to sim your character yourself using TMI/ETMI/Dummy sims and go from there. There isn't 1 weight or string that will work for everyone.

Just checking back in to let you know that this legendary has been added along with an evaluation, in case you still needed it.

It looks like the priority was updated before your comment, at least by looking at the changelog, so I assume you didn't read the section underneath?

Quote

Versatility and Mastery are very close, and it is generally preferred to take a bit more of Versatility for magic damage encounters, and more Mastery for physical damage encounters (where the damage can be blocked).

The >= simply means that they are very close and that they perform better at different points.

It all depends on the content he is currently pushing. Simply looking at his gear won't help much, since he might be specifically gearing for a certain use of his Warrior, as opposed to a general priority that is intended to cover every form of PvE.

First of all, thanks for your answer. I really apprecciate the guide.

Maybe i didn't read it, that really explains it better. But it is not the answer for my question. Again: why should i focus on haste > versatility > mastery for a bossfight with more/harder magic dmg than physical? In this case versatility > master > haste would be the much better setup, wouldn't it? Otherwise it's haste > mastery > versatility. In a case where a Boss is doing both (magic and pyhsical dmg), we should adjust our mastery and versatililty.

Is it just the reason that you say: Ok, go for haste > versatility >= mastery that you'll stay in solid layout for any fights? Then i do absolutely agree :-).

Exactly that. The guide is intended as a "do everything" guide for Prot warriors. A player can come here, follow the priority and regardless of the content they are doing, they will still perform well. It was intended as a more balanced approach, rather than focusing completely on one aspect or the other. 

We previously tried having two priorities and people kept asking the question: "Which is better?". No answer we gave really satisfied them, so we've gone for a more balanced approach now.

I've noticed a slight mistake in the talent section of the guide, it says Safeguard and Warbringer are not really compatible as one requires you to target an enemy, the other an ally, but Warbringer does not at all require you to target an enemy, its effect goes off when used on allies as well.

The misinformation provided is appalling.  Healing for 6% of your max health every few seconds is not "way too low to be useful for raids."  Some numbers for perspective: in our last mythic Ursoc kill, my IP absorbed ~49m damage and my bracers healed me for ~18.5m.  The bracers are insanely good.

Hello guyz are you agree with the Noxxis Weight ?

Stamina [12.07] > Strength [9.07] > Haste [7.57] > Versatility [6.82] > Mastery [6.07] > Crit [4.57]

They look ok for me except the stamina quite huge. What do you think ?

I love the haste builds, it allows for a lot more flexibility than just hoping to mitigate damage.

now things could be different for me, but when I finally started getting upgrades I was getting them in Item level chunks of 10-15 Item levels. I ended up with alot of crit, I feel like it rounded me out. I also have this complication with legendaries where I have the wrists, which I love and entirely underrated, the ring and boots. When the stat priority sucks on the ring, it helps boost that physical reduction. Today I acquired the nightbane trinket. It was nearly 300str increase over the goblet(850) so I'm basically analyzing the fight, physical or magical.

Editing - they aren't saying that it requires you to target an enemy. It is more that you will be targeting an enemy to get the most out of Warbringer, generally.

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.

      Here's our first post-patch look at the Mythic+ log rankings. While the patch didn't really touch any of the DPS or tank specs, there's still some movement there, especially in the raw DPS chart. Healers got some solid changes in the patch, and the definitely had an effect.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top percentiles are extremely stable, which makes sense since the patch didn't really bring any significant changes for DPS specs. We have to go down to number 7 to see the first bit of movement, as Destruction moves two up, leaving its fellow Warlock down in 9th, as Arms gets between them, gaining 3 spots. Havoc closes out the top 10 three down, and right behind it we find the newly buffed Elemental moving three up. While Augmentation is being properly calculated, we still find an Evoker in the bottom 3, as Devastation drops one down and takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      It took Shadow a little longer to get into the top in the generalist bracket, as we find it in 3rd now, pushing Outlaw down one. Balance also moves up, 2 spots into 6th, as it and Arms take advantage of Havoc's fall. The Demon Hunter finds itself 3 down in 9th, while Fury remains stable at the very end of the top 10.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      While Outlaw remains at the top, pretty much everything's changing beneath it. Shadow and Retribution joined forces and moved two up together, breaking into the top 3. Fire is also on the rise, gaining 3 spots, and right behind it we find another big leaper, as Arms moves a whopping 5 spots up.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      There's actually some solid movement here, as we see Paladin take 2nd away from DK and Druid take Monk down, with Warrior remaining in last place and DH being far ahead of the pack.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers had some significant changes with the patch, but it hasn't stopped Monk from remaining at the top. Druid moves into 2nd, taking Discipline Priest down a peg, and it seems the Holy Priest patch reworks helped it out, as it gains a spot in 4th.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      In Dragonflight Season 4, Awakened/Fated raids will be on a weekly rotation.
      Upon accessing the Adventure Guide and navigating to the Raids section, you'll notice a green gem icon beside the raid that's Awakened for the current week.

      When a raid is Awakened, bosses are more powerful and loot drops are upgraded to a higher item level. The upcoming season revisits the Fated system introduced in Shadowlands Season 4.
    • By Staff
      We've already taken a look at all the items coming to the Trading Post next month, as the Season 4 PTR revealed them, but now let's see them in movement as well! MrGM has detailed everything coming in April, from the awesome Dreadwake mount to a pretty cool polearm, some new capes, and all the other pirate-themed items. Let's take a look.
