Ah, there's the insane number changes that show just how clueless the balance team is

The fact they are nerfing execute by -75% is pretty worrying considering they've had 17 years to analyse it's effectiveness

What drives people that can't even count percentages properly to call balance team 'clueless'...
PS: Spamming execute in prot sub-20% is sure a 'fun and engaging gameplay'

Rather, your inability to find ways to do so speaks volumes of your skill in playing one in general, to add to your previous statement of being 'clueless'. The irony.

And to illustrate how laughable your claims are: ANY Mythic boss that doesn't keep 2 tanks constantly occupied (like Dreadlords do, for instance) and Sylvanas (who has no execute range altogether) allows and encourages you to Execute.
From occassionally, to keep your Ashen Jugg stacks rolling, up to all the time it is in execute phase - Anduin being the best example of the latter. I hope I don't need to explain how so and ruin your image even more?

Hate to break it to you buddy, but i'm quoting limit maximum and the world first prot warriors quotes during their talent tree review. Ouch.

So?... You need me to humiliate you AND them? Because it's like punching an infant at this point. 

I mentioned Mythic Anduin before, which is sure to be in execute range by the time he hits P3.
And what is the tank mechanic on Anduin? Newsflash - he increases his attack speed if he keeps hitting the same tank over and over again. To translate for the likes of you - he needs to hit the 2nd tank once to drop these stacks to 0.
And just WHAT do you do if you're a PWarr, and there's a BDK/BrM/PPala literally laughing at Anduin's 0-10 stack melee swings and there's puny magical dot that your 4pc proc Ignore Pains eats up passively? 

Need me to spell it out? 

"Ouch."
Turns out even those guys can't help the likes of you with some common sense, let alone ability to minmax.

It's the basic principle that allows you to incorporate Execute as Prot regardless of the difficulty level, all you need to do to extend it to most other bosses for the entirety of SL is use a bit of imagination with tank mechanics. God forbid you learn you can Intervene some tank debuffs to avoid even taunting and just pressing the red button at your leisure.

But if you're terrible at that, as we just figured out, it doesn't mean I am, or any good Prot Warrior is. I'd suggest you stop embarassing yourself, but people like you rarely do, and with what you've shown so far, I'm positive I can utterly crush any stupid claim you can make.

No worries, you had at me at arguing against 4 of the best warriors philosophy's for prot warrior's inability to execute in mythic difficulty raids. Anything more is pure entertainment and the size of your ego is hilarious

I find it amusing you're too childish to admit being so out of your league and having nothing to object with yourself, so you're constantly bringing something-something 'best prots', even when I just pointed out the mechanical easiness of what I've described and quite literally no one familiar with playing this game at least on Cutting Edge can disprove. 

By all means, go ahead and send a link over to this dialogue to any Warrior Discord or even one of those '4 best prot warriors'. Nothing will make your humiliation more complete than this. 
PS: I know you won't, and we both know the reason. Learn your place, kiddo.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale

      U.GG's tier list is created by evaluating damage and healing scores from the very best players and factoring in the frequency of each spec's appearances in the highest rankings of the current Mythic+ season. The tier list of each spec is determined by its effectiveness and prevalence at the highest levels of Mythic+ play.
