You're creating great quality guides without all the "content creator" BS. Well appreciated ✊️

[@espengade5591]

You're going to be blowing up the next few months my guy.

[@Preacher_.]

That was such a nice comment, and then you had to end it with the "my guy" 😖

[@espengade5591]

@@Preacher_. Seems you paid it more thought than I did. Consider that your connotations to my phrasing are not my connotations to my phrasing 🤯.

[@Orinshwift]

You’re the goat! Getting into warrior for the first time and I’ve found your content to be invaluable. Much appreciated

[@soccerduder1]

I always appreciate your ability to explain nuance in your way of thinking I.e. “This item is better overall, yes, but THIS item will let you survive your first raid.” Thanks for always clearly pointing out stats and gear to go for with concise, rational explanation!

[@Kriegerpvp]

Hey mate, this video has been so helpful, referenced it so many times during the gearing of my prot war. Really helpful!

[@TheShalestorm]

Youre vids are INSANELY precise, informative, and easily digested. Lol and i truly found the Fun tier list entertaining. good stuff!

[@briskmouse1656]

Subbed. Appreciate the comparison of the non bis items being small % differences. Enjoyed your video that focused on that aspect.

this man finally gets a haircut and his brain grows by 20%

[@user-fl9pp4lu2i]

I was looking for this!! Thx man nice haircut though!

[@Guanjyn]

Haircut looks good my guy.

My man is looking fresh with that haircut. Love the content, keep them coming.

much needed video thank yuou!

Haircut!

[@BungaBunga202]

for future vids - coudl u say where the items drop from? i know iot says it on screen but cba reading on 2nd monitor. but great vid - v useful

[@nicholasabraham3316]

Hey Zatar, really liked how you break down the pre-bis and provide good alternatives. Any chance you'll do rogue pre-bis as well? Really liked your TBC vids on that topic. Great work!

[@TheWillWojtek]

Are you planning on making videos about gear prio like in previous phases? I know there is a ton of gear in Naxx, so I'd assume you'd just focus on bigger or BiS items. But still, I think your guides were the most detailed ones and I personally loved all of them!

[@Zatar]

Yeah I will

[@Beerunnoft]

Wish more guides were out like this one. Are you planning on doing other tank specs? A feral tank one would be really appreciated!

[@MitchellNabkey]

Hey man could you work on your microphone settings please? The static is bad in this video in particular. Love the work!!

[@Max-dv1kq]

an i depth talent video would be insane (all the builds included)

[@Rimmy_]

I would really love to see you get a better mic/audio setup. Every time you speak there's some staticy background noise that I don't quite know how to describe. Thank you for the great content!

[@cirocdaboat9591]

Zatar! Been watching you since classic. Any plans for an arms/ fury pre raid guide?

[@Zatar]

Nope, sorry I don’t play those specs

[@kevintyrrell7409]

I'm surprised none or very few sunwell items are mentioned. Thought they were at least comparable.

[@d0k0night]

It's level 80. And the difference in +stam between even sunwell and level 80 blues/epics is pretty dramatic.

[@Zatar]

I mentioned a few items, non are the best option though. Shoulders and ring are both close to pre-bis.

[@xahlier]

Spectacular, my man. Can you do hpal or mage?

[@juullord8111]

great vid, thanks for the upload

[@FIASCOGAMING]

I think most people should focus on getting as much SWP gear as possible prepatch since it's going to be tough to get all the heroic gear the first few days (unless you have great rng). Attempting to get all these BOE epics at 80 is going to cost an arm and a leg especially week 1. Good list overall!

[@Uthyr_Pendragon]

Currently I'm engineering and mining on my warrior. Is it worth dropping mining early on for Jewelcrafting or can I safely stick with mining for first phases? It does give 50 stam at least

[@Zatar]

Jc is pretty cracked, but you would be okay without. Honestly a bunch of jc tanks aren’t even going to keep up with the dailies and get the gems in time for your first clears anyway, which is the only time it will matter for phase 1.

[@Uthyr_Pendragon]

@@Zatar Thank you appreciated!

[@ambush951]

Great video! Could you do fdk or unholy dk guide next?

[@Goagubbe79]

Isnt heavy borean armor kit best on hands? 18 stam.

[@Zatar]

The engineering armor is better

[@ChessJew]

NOT YOUR HAIR 😭

[@tobi727]

How do you reach the hitcap?

[@frankrossi3524]

What about the Deadly Glad rings? 84 Stam on those, and quite a bit of resilience

[@frankrossi3524]

Also the Deadly Bracers? and other deadly items?

[@Zatar]

They are good if you need help getting crit immune. Around Pre-raid bis level

[@frankrossi3524]

@@Zatar In my current gear I'm at 5.36% reduced chance to crit. Is anything above 5% essentially wasted?

[@frankrossi3524]

@@Zatar sorry, just re-watched... I meant anything above 5.6%

[@Zatar]

After 5.6% virtually useless

[@Therix11487]

Why not use a Slower harder hitting weapon for big cleave and devastate damage instead of a quick weapon? ur rage is going to come from defence and getting hit mainly...

[@Zatar]

Slow weapons are good in dungeons and on trash, but fast weapons can dump rage faster and generate more threat on bosses.

[@lasergames1798]

Saved

[@gra_am]

Are we not worried about hit cap? I played a feral tank in wrath and I remember prioritizing hit cap.

[@Mediiiicc]

Defense cap is a higher priority and it is very difficult to cap with early gear.

[@Zatar]

Hit cap would only become relevant on your first clear for taunting, and warrior fortunately has 3 taunts in case of a resist.

[@patrickmurray3846]

don't forget that any pre-raid bis for prot warriors is also bis for prot pallies as well. but I will say this, that this bis kind of sucks as there is a major lack of hit/exp so you'll miss/get dodge/parried alot meaning lack of threat that also means your healer will die and you kicked from grp. Having high hp/def means nothing if you are losing threat due to not hitting the mobs. prot war/pal is hit/exp to soft cap > def to soft cap > block/dodge/parry > stam > str.

[@bobinvegas]

The info in this video is tough to absorb. You don’t list where they come from and you’re screen covers the info 90% of the time. Having to pause to figure it out. Next time please at least call out where they drop.

[@Zatar]

Check the link in the description, eighty upgrades lists where they all drop from.
