Man most of these creator guides are a similar format to yours my dude BUT the one difference is you have a quick 1 fight run through at the end. That’s why you’re the man. All the other guys just say “there’s no rotation for tanks it’s all situational” but this man shows you a quick gameplay sample to give you an idea of what the rotation would look like. Absolute GigaChad. Thanks for the run down Dorks!
the question that I really need to ask, where is the skill bar? all the youtubers/streamers are knowing exactly what to press and dreaming on the skills/macros? I need to see my skills on the bar, where are the skills?
@@allan293-f8c No buddy. That 2 line bars at the middle of the screen is an addon that shows all skills and cds he needs to know. And the skill bar he (and a lot of ppl) doesn't need to see because he knows the keybinds. A lot of content creators (and the ppl that are REALLY tryhard) have a keybind logic so they awalys know what kind of skill is binded on each key
@@raphaelcoelho9466why would you call people who memorize their keybinds or have keybind logic tryhards, it’s just muscle memory tbh I quit on shadowlands can eback in TWW and rebinded everything, then was surprised later when my muscle memory kicked in and i started pressing the old keybinds i had by mistake so i reverted back to those as i remembered them xD
Maybe the best guide I ever seen. Simple, quick, to the point... You are not trying to showoff... Thanks. I'm coming back on WOW since we did M'uru pre nerf, and I'm more confident now.
Thank you for building this. This is exactly what I needed. I've been nervous about maining prot warrior, since none of my friends play this spec, but you eased my fears. Your video is easy and clean to follow. I'm going to watch this a few times and put it into practice. Thank you also for the fight at the end. It's so helpful to see you do the things. Look forward to more videos!
Pretty quick, specific and easy to follow guide. Really apreciate the work your are putting to create this type of content. Helped me a lot to progress into the M+ tanking universe. Great Job Dorki!
Thanks for the tips Dorki, I was overthinking this spec w/ Revenge but playing it like you said is awesome, enjoying playing the game and actually getting in with groups now. You’re doing the Lord’s work
I’m a bit behind already (still getting used to returning to retail and catching up on everything, took my time leveling, etc) but I’m really looking forward to tanking some dungeons on my warrior main this week. Thanks for the great primer.
Great guide as always! I know MT is the recommended build to play, but I've been slamming in dungeons playing Colossus. the damage it does is great and I feel it's just as tanky as MT.
Really thanks for this one! I've leveled my war to 70 in prepatch to get it ready as alt for TWW but I was a bit concerned about not being able to keep up with rage overcap/procs and it felt so wasted... Now I now I've put too much focus on Revenge (was mostly farming echos so Ignore Pain wasn't that useful since I've barely took any dmg).
Doesn't matter if its useful or not. You are doing most damage with your rage generators und ignore pain is perfect to dump a lot of rage to reset your shield slam and get your avatar cd down fast, so it lines with your other cds perfectly.
prot warrior is very straightforward. i like everything mentioned in the vid but i'm also leaning more towards colossus because of the bigger ignore pains, the better critical blocks and the option to use demolish as a dmg cd for packs your dps arent using cds for or using it for the 15% DR. theres also play for using it as anti-stun/pushback. lastly, a small thing but i also value crit higher than verse as we all know crit = parry and you get double the parry value when compared to verse dr
oh and i think theres more value in skipping champion spear's follow up talents and instead picking up roar. also skipping unstoppable force as colossus
I'm guessing you'll update them, but your MDT routes are all from past season FYI. I'd either update that or remove from the video links. Ty for the vid Dorki!
really good guide , you dont juste talk about ability you also show the icon associated with each one with nice animation , really important for new , also one question at 3:00 - 3:14 , i dont understand , the biggest the shield is , the more i block ?? , what is the biggest shield transmo you use mate
So my GF asked me to tank and I've been sampling prot. Thunder Blast is hitting for 500k a target and I'm not even high enough ilvl to get into heroics yet. I think I'm gonna like this class lmao.
I find Intervene to be "decent" at least in most dungeons. Yeah, you "lose" the additional stop, but stops are only "okay" now with mobs recasting anyway. At absolute worst it saves the FDK from killing themselves on pull with a gigantic Obliterate and at best you external someone for like 10% of their health on a magic damage raidwide. Also has situational usefulness in terms of getting out of melee without using heroic leap.
you can also intervene some huge abilities which is why he put the importance or it out there. it 100% stops the damage of first boss nws frontal on the player, tank takes the damage anyways and you can do every one of them
Great video thanks Dorki, is there a chance that you make for dk too? Also i guess i have to dump my rage on ignore pain even tho if i had max absorb thanks for the insight
What about swapping the Bloodsurge talent for Disrupting Shout in the class tree. So far I haven't missed the bit of extra rage from Bloodsurge... In fact it's easier to not over cap. But having an instant cast aoe interrupt is MASSIVE. Slightly shorter cooldown than sigil of silence even.
bloodsurge is too valuable in higher keys but you can drop ravager/bsv for disrupting shout. the way disrupting shout works requires interrupting the actual cast instead of silencing like vdh
Can I ask a question as a new Prot warrior? I noticed in the build that Intimidating Shout. Is that needed for new content? It does lead to Spell Reflection but so does taking Frothing Berserker. Just curious about the selection.
Great guide. thank you! In BFA we had a WA to track what % our IP was at since each cast only did 70% of the total ignorable amount. I still have that same weakaura but seems like it doesn't matter anymore, do you track that? I don't see it on your bars but you could just know based on the amount
Hey maybe you see this. Great guide. I really want to get into tanking with my warri but I often have the problem that I cant hold aggro when i'm not using Revenge frequently enough. How do you tank such big groups without it? I really dont get it =/ I'm currently at ilvl 582. Didnt do any M0 or Raid so far, only HC and world content. Thanks again for the nice guide!
Well structured Guide! but I´m missing a sentence or two regarding Violent Outburst and Execute. I tryed this build and it can take like twice the punishment of my favorite Colossus build, however it also deals like only halv the dmg, so... I gues for content you outgear (Mid-Low tier m+) Colossus is way stronger (where/for this talent build and playstyle does not work at all btw).
I thought you had said you were maining BDK. I'm pumped you did the warrior video first though. Definitely helped me on a few things I was ignorant about. Great vid homie
Thx for the video! Little question, when i use charge and shieldcharge i only get 20 rage. When I delay the shieldcharge a little bit I get the 60. Is that supposed to be? :)
i have macro'ud ip and sb and when i finish a heroic dungeon like 10 minutes or so.. overall it says to me:92%ip used 90-93%sb used so i guess is ok :) no longer need to track the ignore pain or shield block
A question on macroing ignore pain - is it at least ok to macro it to shield slam? You said no to the specific question "should I macro it to everything" but is there anything that it would be "acceptable" to macro it to?
Man most of these creator guides are a similar format to yours my dude BUT the one difference is you have a quick 1 fight run through at the end. That’s why you’re the man.

I was SHOCKED when he did that, pro move..

I'm coming back on WOW since we did M'uru pre nerf, and I'm more confident now.

Great Job Dorki!
These videos are the perfect primers. All the info you need, well-presented, and not overly long. Great work!
Love the step-by-step pull walkthrough at the end. Good to see your thought process going into a pull
Thanks for the tips Dorki, I was overthinking this spec w/ Revenge but playing it like you said is awesome, enjoying playing the game and actually getting in with groups now. You’re doing the Lord’s work
Really good info stressing always keeping shield slam and thunder clap on cooldown. Great guide, love prot warrior going into tww
Bind Ignore pain to Mousewheel down!!!! It will help so much!
TLDR: Keep everything on cooldown! Don't press revenge unless it's the last option. Got it.
Honestly tho, thanks for the guide :D
Very easy to follow for a guy who never tanked. Thank you
Just got back from a hiatus and wanted to try tanking for this expansion. Thanks a lot for this video!
Amazing video, hits all the points without any of the preamble, long winded anecdotes or prerequisite expectations.
Please continue to more like this!
Thanks man! This was the best class guide ive seen! Helped alot. Keep it up 🔥
Been waiting for this to drop so I could see how I was doing on build. Thx Dorki
Rolled a war today got it to 80 havent had fun tanking ever since TWW prot. sick guide brother
Such a good video. Goes precisely into all the important points. Thank you.
Thanks for the guide!! very useful and thanks for the tip the charge into a shield charge!! never thought of it
Great and detailed guide. Loving the content. Keep up the good work
Coming from a healer to a tank role this video is amazing! I changed Growl for Dorki😅
Top tier 👍
I really hope you also make one for blood (well also all the other, but that might be a tall order so close too launch)
Thanks Dorki keep these coming!! Guardian/VENG/BLOOD DK haha would be awesome!
Great Format. Get the information you need and get out.
Top tier content creator.
Best no bullshit guide on the web for someone starting out on prot war thanks man.
Thank you for this Dorki much love ❤️
Crazy clean understandable guide thanks dorki and wanna ask if you gonna do VDH guide also thanks !
I’m a bit behind already (still getting used to returning to retail and catching up on everything, took my time leveling, etc) but I’m really looking forward to tanking some dungeons on my warrior main this week. Thanks for the great primer.
keeping everything on cooldown exept for revenge ! got it ! thanks man . great guide .
His mitigation is insane
Great guide as always! I know MT is the recommended build to play, but I've been slamming in dungeons playing Colossus. the damage it does is great and I feel it's just as tanky as MT.
Yessss! Thank you
Hey Dorki Ty for the Vid :) i wish there was someone to make a WA for that blockable / reflect info tho to shout in situations which u can pop to help
Bruh prot feels gooood. Not my main due to raid, but it’s such a good time
Perfect guide, tanked for the first time and it was a breeze
thanks for a simple and good guide as always 🤙💯 tanked +4s at 582 :D

Great guide, hope you do one for prot pally
Amazing video as always / There will be any guide for Blood DK or brewmaster monk ?
I'm guessing you'll update them, but your MDT routes are all from past season FYI.
I'd either update that or remove from the video links.
Ty for the vid Dorki!

Great, just on time to swap from Fury :D
Do I tank? No, Do I play warrior? No, did watch the whole thing? Yes... Yes I did.
COOL
Prot warrior hype prot warrior hype mole men unite

Thanks, a very useful guide helped me a lot. was having problems grouping up mobs. This has helped me improve my tanking a lot
Its so good
thanks sir. pls vengeance dh next. love you sir honored
fuck yeah im jorkin over this
Can I just bind the spells you listed in the video? Can I keep things like whirlwind off my action bars?
Ty.
All I got from this is, ‘Warrior is lo-fi rage’
I'm gonna need a waxmaxxing guide dorki
Hey maybe you see this. Great guide. I really want to get into tanking with my warri but I often have the problem that I cant hold aggro when i'm not using Revenge frequently enough. How do you tank such big groups without it? I really dont get it =/ I'm currently at ilvl 582. Didnt do any M0 or Raid so far, only HC and world content. Thanks again for the nice guide!
Great tutorial! You just forgot to mention Impending Victory or maybe it's intentional?
Well structured Guide!
but I´m missing a sentence or two regarding Violent Outburst and Execute. I tryed this build and it can take like twice the punishment of my favorite Colossus build, however it also deals like only halv the dmg, so... I gues for content you outgear (Mid-Low tier m+) Colossus is way stronger (where/for this talent build and playstyle does not work at all btw).
yeah those were a little less important to cover but ya colossus is big dam
great vid
What abilities/skills would you recommend to macro, if any?
my friends play just meelee on retail, would it be better to tank with warrior because of it ? or just go with druid for safe pick ?
what's the addons or WA called that shows you the groups interupts and cd's?
Never knew that about battle stance.. TIL
I thought you had said you were maining BDK. I'm pumped you did the warrior video first though. Definitely helped me on a few things I was ignorant about. Great vid homie
What gear should we craft Dorkiii ?
Hello, can you please tell me how can I hide my action bars and leave only weak auras is that possible?
Hi Dorki, on your gameplay section i saw that on your right side there is a tracker of enemy habilities incoming, which addon shows that?
don't play warrior, watched anyway! nice vid
hope a bdk one comes soon!
Pretty sure this is the only good guide for this
Looking forward to a prot pala one (yeah i know spec is dead)
Any prot warriors know of an add on or wa which shouts at you if you cap on rage? I'm always over capping, especially when ravenger is down
is there a way to make your taunt shout also silence without losing too much?
nice thanks
dorkin
Thx for the video! Little question, when i use charge and shieldcharge i only get 20 rage. When I delay the shieldcharge a little bit I get the 60. Is that supposed to be? :)
Great vid. Can you please do vids for the other tanks?
W
i have macro'ud ip and sb and when i finish a heroic dungeon like 10 minutes or so.. overall it says to me:92%ip used 90-93%sb used so i guess is ok :) no longer need to track the ignore pain or shield block
Where do i get the ui? Is it a weakaura?
A question on macroing ignore pain - is it at least ok to macro it to shield slam? You said no to the specific question "should I macro it to everything" but is there anything that it would be "acceptable" to macro it to?
yea if you really want to lower the amount of button pressing required
is it still viable to play roar? i dont wanna play spear
