M+ Protection Warrior Guide | DRAGONFLIGHT

[@rindoan]

You said dwarf racial and bitter immunity will cover bleed damage however bitter immunity was changed several weeks ago to not remove bleed effects anymore.

[@Dorki]

i actually didn't know that thanks for letting me know

[@TheNitram8]

The ability used to be called Better immunity and was renamed Bitter immunity after the nerf.

[@Wand422]

@@TheNitram8 that's funny. They knew players would be bitter

[@bishop1412]

I've never seen a "what you should track" part of a guide and that's actually such helpful information, even if it's stuff I personally already track

[@Tahngra]

Dorki, I know it's a struggle to do the videos, but you've become so good at it. Keep up the excellent work. Honestly, the quality is amazing. I love it!

[@Gbad5491]

Rolled a warrior for the first time ever in season 4 and fell in love with Fury. Just tried tanking mythic + with my warrior and I think it is my main going into dragonflight. I just love it

[@Zachy-Gaming]

I appreciate the guide straight to the point it’s nice to see a guide that doesnt take 20+ minutes to explain

[@RepentlessCrusader]

Thanks, i was looking for something that wasnt 25 minutes long, much appreciated.

[@Dorki]

I kept the video kinda short but hopefully it'll cover most of the important parts of dragonflight warrior. Let me know if there are anything else I should cover in these videos!

[@kllzoneGaming]

amazing video, are u doing it for dk maybe?

[@TheMisterbreadcrum]

Are you going to do one for each tank? That’d be real hype because I’m newish to brewmaster and find other guides a little too dry.

[@D3adlyOreo]

This video was great.

[@pete2768]

Frequency of using abilities like intim shout. Use it off cd or save for start of pull or what

[@Max-dv1kq]

Ive took this video as confirmation on 'Do I play prot right?' - helped a lot so far perfect guide/revision for advanced players (good time management and he fitted in all important stuff) I really appreciate your section about min-maxing and Id love to see this section in future guides covering the rest of the tanks Thanks Dorki!

[@ksargent]

Short and sweet, just the way these things should be. Thanks for this, it's perfect.

[@warnerbouma5475]

Thank you. Just picked up warrior tank since bfa and this has been helpful

I would love some basic/starter MDT routes for DF season 1. Nice job on the video, cant wait for more!

[@D-Golden]

Thank you Dorki ❤❤❤

[@phnxx5301]

Sub earned sir! Its so clear how u explain. I just started warrior dinged monday sofar im 377 and 1k Rio

[@skeliskull]

One item that always fails to be mentioned here but if you’re using Violent Outburst talent you should track those stacks. Once you have a violent outburst buff you want to be hitting shield slam NOT thunderclap unless there are 3+ targets (but depends). The VO buff contributes a lot to your overall damage if you spend it correctly but almost no guides online mentioning how it affects the rotation a bit.

[@garyisthegood913]

I would personally go head and use that clap then demo shout since specced into it to increase dmg dealt to the targets then do avatar ravager dragons roar♡

[@johnread6730]

love the vid its to the point clean and perfect i hope you do all the tanks like this :)

[@cptfruitbear9810]

As someone who came back recently and is currently maining pally tank warrior seems like it has alot more buttons lol. Im banking (hoping) on pally power creep mid exp to put it up there with warrior.

[@royalrepublican3480]

hey, have you considered making a video on what are good items to craft with what buffs/gems. I looked at the top warriors and they all have different crafted items and buffs.

[@Guelicious]

Awesome 🤩

[@hillbillyrocks2448]

thank you sir this really helped me

[@TheChuky18]

[@lnSorteDiaboli]

Will you be doing this type of video for all tanks? Either way great video!

[@anothervagabond]

Is there a specific reason to go Avatar > Ravager > Thunderous Roar > Demoralizing Shout? I have nerve damage in my hands so I can only manage so many keybinds at once, and to fit everything in one of the things I've done is macro Avatar and Demoralizing Shout together, since I read that I basically want to keep Avatar on cooldown anyway. Would there be a specific problem with using Avatar + Demoralizing Shout > Ravager > Thunderous Roar?

[@kontainern]

What WA pack is that? i found resources on your wago page but not the whole packade. And thank you for all of your content. Both here on KZbin and on Twitch. Much appreciated!

[@bauchelain6157]

Didn't they take Bleeds off Bitter Immunity?

Great vid! Are you going to make a brewmaster video too? :)

[@scrioz]

Awesome Mate!

[@masterVu1]

Hey bro what cooldown tracker is that one ?

[@Dorki]

its all weakaura or elvui action bars

[@ZimtraX]

Hey man! Love your content, but i have a question. Your MDT routes shows season 4 of Shadowlands?

[@kiwinaman]

Thanks so much for the vid! Inspired me to finally try elvui. Ive never used a custom ui setup. Pretty overwhelming but thanks for instructions in your profile link! Ive figured out a lot through there + some googling. How did you set up the buff durations for shield block/ignore pain though? As well as the other recommended defcd and stance? Is that in player bars section?

[@Dorki]

those are all weakauras. i basically copied settings from other weakauras and modified them to my own liking

[@Razgaz.]

Thanks for sharing your UI for free

[@MrNesrielNightmare]

hey dorki, i was wondering, do you have any tips on optimizing keybinds and are there certain characteristics in keybinds u kinda transfer over to other tank classes, like having similar binds like kick on the same keybind if u get what i mean

[@Dorki]

yeah i carry them over my characters(mitigation on F, rotation 1-4, defensives on qer/modifiers etc.

[@asmongoldbald]

are you going to be making other tank vids as well? mainly Veng. thx!

Hey very good video thx a lot ! with your WA i got a litle problem on ignore pain it doesnt track the flat amount of absorb any idea ?

[@Dorki]

hmm no idea what could be causing it

[@christopherlibrera5961]

What add on is that you are using to track your buffs like Sheild block and ignore pair?

[@Cafe_TTV]

Hey Dorki, I really like your nameplates. They look super easy to read. Have you shared it somewhere by chance? Thanks! Edit: Just noticed your Linktree in the description. Was able to find them there if anyone else was wondering.

[@kmilo014]

Great video, one question, what alliance race (not bfa or legion race) do u recommend for tanking?

[@gonzalomedina7111]

gracias por el video

[@tobsynator8703]

I have a question why Open the cooldown Rotation with avatar->thoundorus roar-> ravanger->Demo shout. And Not Avatar->ravanger to Grab the Aggro then Demo shout-> thoundorus roar. For more damage. Is ravanger Not enough to secure Aggro? Also If someone is struggling with Initial rage in an Encounter you can macro shield charge and charge together for extra rage but i dont think this will ever ne necessary.

[@Dorki]

for max damage you want to demo shout after you put your big cds on cooldown. and yeah charge + shield charge is overkill don't waste your charges :)

[@karengelijns5711]

Thanks for the great video. Can you please add the import code to your talent build? Thank you!

[@eleesium8407]

Where did you get the 1 extra point on the protection tree to get Battle-Scarred Veteran? I only have enough to do Champion's Bulwark

@@Dorki level 70, ilvl 363

[@eleesium8407]

@@Dorki I've found the issue, I completely reset my tree to be 0 on both side and got it to work. It seemed to either be a visual glitch or an addon glitch. My hunch is it was a visual glitch that was not allowing me to place the 1 point that I 100% had.

[@arthaz7851]

is a nice guide plz compare this DF warrior to BFA warrior

[@gritzd5070]

Another comment, apologies if I missed it but did you talk about impending victory or victory rush? Isn't that heal worth 1 HS in a 30 sec CD? Super useful skill right?

[@Dorki]

yeah just use it as a health potion basically

[@Avalentica]

Is the spells in the middle of your screen beneath the HP and buffs bar just regular actionsbars without a keybind?

[@Dorki]

yeah theyre there to track the cooldowns not the keybinds

[@aandrenery]

Can someone recommend me a WA for dungeons? I'm learning how to tank mythics and ppl told me that a WA group for them would help early on but no suggestion of which one to grab was given

[@Dorki]

i have some in my ui setup if you want

[@tyice8730]

Wait so you get avatar on every pull and there's a shield wall talent you can bake into it? That sounds kinda broken...

[@Chris-go8nb]

You doing one for each tank spec?

[@azzraNjo]

How can your ignore pain get up to 100k+ ? I spam it and its capped at 27k

[@Dorki]

its based off your max hp

[@azzraNjo]

@@Dorki ah ok, thanks, i really thought im just to dumb and played it massively wrong when i saw the numbers

[@baaldagon1755]

why not use thunderous roar after demo shout? or does the bleed from it not snapshot the booming voice passive?

[@Dorki]

its a wasted global in demo window

[@danielschultz96]

why would you use violent outburst procs on shield slam and not thunderclap for aoe? unless youre saying for ST/pulls with prio targets

[@Dorki]

shield slam does more dmg than tclap up to 3 targets, but more importantly shield slam generates way more rage with outburst. definitely doesn't suck as much to clap in aoe with outburst over slam

[@Enp198]

You want IP and Shield Block up at the same time usually? Or alternating?

[@Dorki]

both up

[@Enp198]

@@Dorki I figured after I asked the question, makes sense because otherwise im prob rage capping anyways

[@maximef1]

Hey there! I was wondering if the weak aura would be expanded to spells like if your video? I've gotten the warrior ressource WA and it's great! It just clashes with Luxthos or Afenar's fuller WA.

you'd have to modify it yourself. I only use the warrior resource WA and action bars with whatever abilities

[@mohammadrezaaran8208]

great video, where is dungeons guide dorki

[@kaylerick]

So 0 revenge..??

[@Dorki]

sorry i probably should've brought it up in the guide too! just revenge when your thunderclap and shieldslam is on cd

[@andrasszamosi8283]

Could you help me? Im orc prot warrior with 389 lvl, and m+ above 13 several times hit me out. Do you have any ide what im doing wrong?

[@Pogopvp]

please START with demo shout.. it increases your damage by 20% to all targets affected

[@Dorki]

you want to amplify the dots on your ravager/roar not the initial hit. if you demo before you waste 2 gcds of 20% increase dmg

[@tremor1001]

Is the shockwave modifiers dead talents? Wouldn't the 400% increased damage and having a aoe Stun on a 20 second CD worthwhile?

[@Dorki]

it's not worth it you lose too much damage from thunderous roar talents

[@Roxomus]

you never said a word about revenge. Is that button even used anymore? Or do you recommend using it as a filler in aoe when shield slam and thunderclap are on cd?

[@Dorki]

yeah use as filler when slam and thunderclap on cd

Isnt it better to do demo shout before thunderous roar?

nah you will waste 2 globals in your demo shout if you do

[@Schepard501]

Why do I demo shout after the other couldowns since demo shout also increase the dmg I deal to the enemi with booming voice?

[@Dorki]

so most of your burst damage comes from the dot portion of ravager and thunderous roar. you want demo shout to cover that portion and for all the abilities you use afterwards, otherwise you are wasting 2 gcds during your booming voice window

[@Schepard501]

@@Dorki Okay yeah, looking at it from that angle makes sense

[@Pistols4]

Was set on guardian, now this comes out...😨😨

[@yung_twizzler1199]

For more damage on the class tree, wouldn't you go for the 2 point for increased bleed damage? I havent played beta so I don't know the damage breakdowns there but in retail, rend and deep wounds do considerable % of my damage. So the 15% bleed dmg from Words and then the extra 20% from Bloodborne I feel like would be nuts. What are your thoughts?

[@nomeratur]

Bloodborne is not as good as it seems, dropping in 2 points there is actually a dmg loss overall. Tough as nails does 3-4% of your dmg, whereas Bloodborne is 1.5-1.8% dmg increase per point. Making it incredibly inefficient

[@Dorki]

yeah whatever nomeratur said in the comments. if you really do want tiny bit more damage you could drop defensive stuff for bloodbourne but I don't recommend it unless you're just doing easy content for fun like carrying friends

[@nomeratur]

Overall pretty good, but defaulting to Spell Block isnt really a useful choice in most keys as almost everything will be covered by SW that is dangerous to you outside of very specific dungeons like RLP. You didnt mention Shield Wall at all and its incredibly low CD paired with AM and Impenetrable Wall. Also important to notice that Battle-Scarred Veteran currently procs pre-mitigation, which is obviously a massive bug. That means on high keys itll proc literally on CD despite not even dropping below 90% HP

[@Dorki]

yeah i've noticed that with BSV. i don't think it hurts for most players to have spell block anyways with how broken it is and it's at the cost of 2-4% damage. most of these dungeons have 2-3x more magic damage on average(RLP in particular as you mentioned) than the previous 2 expansions so I definitely would rather have people get into the habit of playing spell block. good point about shield wall. i do think people will underestimate how frequent it can be used

[@TacBlades]

Is stance swapping on or off the GCD ?

[@Dorki]

on gcd

[@chilimaggaming]

If you are just starting out there is a LOT to master before worrying about changing stances, right?

[@Dorki]

yeah don't bother with stance swapping. you can maybe start building a habit of using it during your cds but make a conscious effort to always be in defensive

[@radya2977]

[@jamesmunro3452]

Is it worth race changing to dwarf for the bleed removal?

[@Dorki]

absolutely. it also removes things like bursting and whatever debuff you might get in all these dungeons

[@danielhh9377]

Dorki, how can i marco the burst part?

[@Dorki]

i wouldn't recommend it but if you really want to just make a cast sequence macro

[@Sussurrus]

Would you ever use revenge instead of ignore pain?

[@Dorki]

revenge lets you reset your shield slam which will do more dmg and generate more rage which will also in turn feed into your anger management. i would say usually yeah but sometimes you have to ignore pain
