THE PIRATE TANK IS HERE! (sleeper?) | Project Ascension S8 | Classless WoW | Progression, M+, Raids

[@TheChemixer]

Thanks for the build ideas.

[@BloodyN1nja]

The "May I tank pls" bit cracked me up. Just threat stealing from other tanks like a true pirate. Now all we need is a pirate themed healer, then you could have a whole dungeon party of Pirates

[@briciusd.8478]

LOVE this tank build. Nice to see them doing something with Agi other then a Bear build for tank or a dps build

[@Dvnstrt]

This is a pretty cool build, thanks for the showcase. Slavener means someone who slobbers or drools btw

[@Lizaeus]

He missed that one pretty hard.

[@doxorn]

Gotta love your energy. Keep it up!

[@darkphase7799]

Day 3 of posting this ;) (also you did respond to me in discord lol) Would love to see you do a brand new account and show how you would start including all the "simple" details. I am new to Ascension and S8 and would love all the basics including priority when you first max, what build you would go for first, prestigue for lucky cards first or what? And so on. Thanks again for the vids. Richu - Thrall.

[@MediocrityInMotion]

Slavening means to drool. Thus the name of the wolf.

[@geoDB.]

McDoubles are there ways to play a tank in PvP that doesn't suck?

[@whoopontrose2517]

A question, what happens if you add "sunder soul" on top? Can you have like 3 different versions of sunder armor?

[@timstallons9301]

Did you have to do another quest before you get access to the chest to get said enchant?

[@theghostofblakephilbrook]

The Swashbuckler REs aren't working for me. I had one that is supposed to reduce shock cooldowns and it didn't work for me at all. :(

[@Omili]

Swasbuckling attack speed with aoe windfury and thunderclap? Would that work? I kinda don't want thunderclap since it does not feel as thematic as bleeds or windfury but the aoe windfury enchant has thunderclap synergy added. Ascension website builder enchant texts do not work for me so can't remember the names of the enchants.

[@Kurogami7070]

I have been playing Swashbuckler and Thunder Bear a lot after they released and both are really fun. Swashbuckler was an absolute pain to get since I was farming the map fragments for HOURS. The early experience was pretty painful but once I got some good skills and took some energy regen talents/enchants energy became a lot less limiting and I was able to build those 5 combo point abilities quickly and easily. Ended up having Recuperate, which was really interesting as it boosts my energy regen further to the point where I can spam sinister strikes without running out of energy. Add in a few weakauras to manage uptime of Blur and Recup and Swashbuckler Captain performs extremely well.

[@Benbrytaren]

Yaaaar! Lovely video m8! Keep at it :D

[@xenthalus]

Another thematic option you could have gone for for aoe aggro is Hellscream since it would allow for an aoe blead while letting you use any combo points on Panache for aoe upfront damage. Scream Yaaaaarrr so loud their ears bleed. The 20% agi as parry is probably at a balanced point. If they made the scaling higher raw agi would be too strong on the build considering it already boosts your dodge as well. The fact the armor bonuses are non-gear type reliant means you can go for a mix of raw agi/stam gear with dodge and defense meant for bears and plate gear that has pure stam, defense, and dodge/parry with no str and not have any wasted stat budget, it's not a common type of plate to see but it exists. - Xenthalus

[@firstGrunt]

Grunt getting happy to see that you recognize the threat that gnomes pose, you did good by killing the gnome leader!

[@keithlazarus6165]

Is there an actual quest, or its just open the chest then head to Tanaris?

[@Erkaan12]

Yea, go for steward of eternity. It sounded the most underwhelming when they "teased" the new healer REs, but now that I got to play them all, steward is the one I have the most fun with.

[@Sara.Space.H]

McDubz, I hope this doesn't come off as mean or anything but it's pronounced; "Puh-Nash", Like how google says it. lol sorry, ty for the video.

[@fintikgaming2673]

love you man keep doing you never let me down on my worst days i come home from work make some food and watch ur videos cause of how much i love ur content i tried to play ascension never got into but might have too try again but KEEP PUISHIN!!!❤❤

[@kaig6533]

Hello McBro, can you make a Boomie/Arcane build?? Im looking for something like it ??

[@alex24animeyamato]

Nice, i would like to see more from this spec, good job -Pilara

[@Deadlychuck84]

I made a tank version of vamp lord the day you put out the video. Still working on it, but it's fun

[@Chomakot]

YES YES, I've been waiting for this. I was told the parry was bugged for this RE but still love it. Currently love playing Cryothecnician and this Numlock or Keyboard on Thrall

[@moschaGer]

i recently started playing again and dropped darkmaster in my first mythic. i tried making it work and only found out at 60 that darkmaster and felguard dont synergize because felguard is not an "enslaved demon". its my friendly demon that works for me on its own volition apparently! frustrating moment. o well - Govegan

[@luperkalel1884]

Is there a pirate healer build? I feel like a 5 man pirate dungeon comp would be awesome! Gromnar

[@tremayne4351]

Now thats a badass tank spec! Awesome vid man! Thanks once again. - Palengray

[@Jrot-g5f]

Hi, great video, i love the spec. Playing it couple days now but with thunderclap. Will definitely try your version

[@okapi111]

Yarr was tanking mighty fine! Nice build to see! Thrall: Twiet | Brolein

[@rollorsson]

How can I have you UI I really like it but have no idea how to do it lol

[@johnmcklesky4855]

Congratz on tanking mythic raids, it's so cool! -Busk

[@johnmcklesky4855]

@Mc_doubles Awesome! I didn't believe that it's possible to win 😂

[@brimstonefootsteps4332]

You have sold me on the Thrall server with draft. i have prestiged 10 times and buy as make golden skill cards at possible at each max level. I am hoping for some advice, you seem to have really streamlined builds and I end up with at least 215 extra crap abilities. Suggestions on dedicating a build toward a specific idea without the extra junk? IGN Otep

[@GatoVermelhoBR]

Love this video! And love this RE! Question: What lvl 70 gear would be best for a decent PVE build? AGI leather or mail armor, or Plate (with str, parry, def, dodge, etc.)? There are various pros and cons, but dunno what's best...

[@s.j.1642]

Wouldn't natural disaster RE + deadly or instant venom result in WAY better aggro building? Combined with the nature damage you deal with the epic RE you just showed that hits in a cone?

[@KhannUurrr]

the Tier 2 set for pary tank is plate with some good agi on it too, i think it will work really well for pirate captain! Guano

[@Wither_spoons]

There's a 20 second internal CD on those fighters res

[@Lolboi-xh7xw]

31:26 Taunting off other tanks with better threat just ends up bottlenecking the threat gain, and besides, is seen as rude by other tanks.

[@nuggie8561]

love the new archetypes ascension is putting out, i really hope a lot of the old ones get revamped since they have rad themes too, frozen chaos becoming a lich archetype would be fun imo

[@jfklmk13447]

Loving all the new content!

[@josephpickering-hemopo4301]

Sweet server down this is up lessh goo, also is there a reason you dont use Vigor RE to help with energy?like to know your thoughts - Chubbz

[@adriansula8579]

I like the "Oh wait, are you still in the bathroom lmao" at 24:49

[@EliteCJI]

I don't understand why you spam Crimson Tempest rather than Panache?

[@amassofatoms]

Was thinking of trying this out, my current tank build is boring me - great vid might give it a try - hideaki

[@iwrathg1122]

Haven’t watched the video yet but I know it’s a banger 😎

[@Mcdoubles]

[@chefkoch4589]

Oh my god this makes me want to play, is there any way as a new player without resources to get this build going? I really want to play this.

[@wiliemdemon8995]

Finally a good way to use the swashbuckling, I like this RE and I hope that there will be more similar REs in the game (as long as it is quite a problem to get those items agi + stam + parry) I just tried the demon tank (and there is also a problem with int + stam + dodge leather?) but otherwise it's not bad at all except that it eats up mana extremely quickly. - Wiliemdemon :D (if I win, give it to someone else, but twice :D )

[@sunlightFrequency]

Loving the coverage for those of us who are unlucky or too poor to try out these new enchants :) Can't wait to see the Dark Apotheosis video 'cause that's a spec I used to play on Retail and was really excited about a metamorphosis-based tanking build haha. - Gharik

Best giveaway experience ever! xD - Crangletrank

[@parkersmith5907]

Dude I started farming for this spec the other day when I was on, I’m loving it so far man can’t wait to try ir for myself -TankyP

[@FanOfSweetMovies]

I love thematic builds like this. Might finally play another tank outside of MFB that I'll trully enjoy. Still curious about the frost healer - Fero

[@JoonJuby]

Wish the re changed a shout ability too, it would fit the theme so well -Summer

Leveling this. It's my first dip into pve since playing ascension and I'm having so much fun with it! -Mythrodir

Intresting build, now we just need a pirate healer to have a full grp of Pirates. -Shizzm

is there a dps pirate build on ascension?

[@Pascal0224]

@@callenfir2486 is it fun like the tank pirate build? or not viable at all?

When you are offered something you skill carded - what happens if you chose another option? Do you get offered your skill card again next 2 lvls? -Idhan

[@vagabondwastrel2361]

Level 70 will have parry tank gear but also some of the 2.5/3 tier gear should have more parry if I remember correctly.

[@thephlegmmaster78]

Oh I like this build, and not to hard to get it... Personally, always liked Pirates and similar (even on Retail I have a rogue in full pirate xmog). Will have to try it. - Mcdgw

Dont think deflection talent works here cause the bottom says you need to have a 2handed weapon equipped for the talent to work

18:30 It's not Slay-ven-er, it's slaav-en-er, meaning to drool excessively from one's mouth. You're silly. lol

[@okamiseven]

Slaver (you say the A like the one in Apple) is slobber or drool. If the worg is slavering, it means that mfer spittin 😉

[@bosssavage3325]

One thing I dislike about this type of enchant is you lose 1 enchant for your offhand for no “real” benefit. I would like the main hand to be able to have 2 enchants.

[@Jerry-ii3vg]

u should rly do a a paladin in retail before the rework :D

[@GabrielMillerd]

You are "bricked" for energy because of the boss curse "Curses nearby enemies, increasing the costs of their spells and abilities by 100% for 5 min. This cost increase applies to all spells and abilities, whether they cost mana, rage, or energy." The only way you are surviving dumping carelessly is that the regen (the crit spikes and so forth) is so high for you and the healers, when normally it would be a very conservative fight.

[@spencerrex7531]

Always happy to see a pirate out getting that booty -Plinkerton

[@nkx5675]

Get to check out the new pvp gear and costs ? They’re super cheap now

[@Mcdoubles]

I haven't but I'll end up checking it out.

This spec ngl looks very fun but also VERY strong, good thing there's a difficulty setting about it, good stuff - Traz

[@okm09876]

Nice spec - doops

[@Scherfors]

Love the vids! And as a 2h parry tank I def gona give this build a shot! -Urst

[@JediFrog]

I think I might end up trying to make this a PvP tank, the magic damage reduction is one of the things I haven't been able to find anywhere, and Parry is one of the best ways to mitigate physical damage in PvP (unless they're ranged). McDarth
