Yes, these videos are awesome. If you end up doing all of them, I would love a video stating which you feel is easiest to play up to like a 20 key, which is most fun to play at those levels, etc. Relative ease to gear/dps options for the tanks might also be cool.
Respectfully, I'd disagree with at least a couple of views about warrior shortcomings. I see ignore pain's inability to be used as stand alone damage mitigation as a good thing. Here's why: it is able to be used quite often and if it's duration is tracked and rage budgeted it can be very powerful when viewed as mechanic damage reduction and not mitigation. It also works well when paired with trinkets that help with damage. Having lots of smaller cooldowns with short recharge is great if you use them with a modular mindset. If you're reading the fight and you see damage coming you can quickly build defenses that are proportional to what is incoming. This can be way more effective than blowing a 3 minute cooldown for moderate damage and then you truly are dependant on the healer. I know that doesn't really apply to Blood Death Knights but there have to be exceptions to every rule. I don't want to make this a book. So I'll just say Prot Warriors can be a fast and hard hitting tank that can actually be less dependant on a healer if played a certain way. Individual milage may vary and this is just my opinion.
Having played all tanks year over year, I don't want guides. I want to know how they feel and what news or changes are coming...so please keep these coming!
I love this style of video. A guide tells me what to do, which is nice, but this gives me more insight into what i'm good/not good at and helps me plan my patch accordingly. Hopefully Blizz watches videos like these to add to their development feedback.
I came for the warrior content, i stayed for the man behind the content. That and this is my one stop shop for patch notes for tanks even if im playing a mage next season.
Thanks for the Deep Dives Llarold. Absolutely the best tank content on RUclips these days. So what needs to change? Make spell reflect into also a spell deflect, so if it doesn't go back onto the boss if at least gets AMS style deflected? ? Spell block chance built into the class maybe? I totally agree with you, Ignore Pain is always the problem. It's never at a middle ground, it's always a god mode un-killable barrier (Emerald Nightmare...) or it's just not a great use of rage and feels too weak to even consider. Flavor wise and fun wise, Prot Warrior is my favorite class to play... always has been and likely always will be. I don't need it to be the best, I just need it to be considered a viable go to. I wish Blizzard would just acknowledge it.
I have been maining a Prot Warr since BFA and I can relate to whatever you said. Unblockable/Unreflectable/sustained magic damage is where Prot warr fails eg Wings of Extinction and Terror Claws in Mythic Kazara. Really nice video. Loved your optimism :) Learned a lot too. Thank you
IMO Pro Warris were great in 10.0 because the 4-set buffed Ignore Pain so much. You could use it, Pump it up with doing dmg and then lost it on big hits or on cooldown. i needet to reset my ignore pain like every 10 Seconds or so. this let me spend my rage into active dmg - that is fun. it gave me dmg and pumped up my Ignore pain. In 10.1 i kinda dump all my rage on Ignore Pain to survive anything and it becomes an class where you auto, shield slam, "stomp" (not sure how its calld in english) and then use ur rage on shield block and ignore pain - thats not fun. not much active dmg output, just rage generation, hold uptime on shieldblock and dump rage into ignore pain. Probably I am just bad at rage management, but thats how it felt.
I really enjoy these style of videos. For me, getting sat in Wotlk on Sarth 3D just because I didn’t want to play a DK killed it for me. On that fight, no matter how good of a player I was, my character would die. It just feels like ever since TBC, prot warriors haven’t been a “go to” tank. Even in TBC, only a couple fights really required a prot warrior. I just want to feel as strong as a brewmaster when I get hit. I do believe I’m a bit bitter lol
I'd love more videos like this. Guides can be found everywhere this type of video is something special. I'd look forward to seeing one on Bears. They are going from over powered to maybe last in ranking but it seems hard to tell with the tier being broken. On the other hand after the wildfire and regrowth procs on top of hibernate, rebirth, MoW and a decurse might still make up for that at least in M+. Currently between Prot Warrior and Bear.
Most everything you post is of high quality Llarold. I use the advice often. Thank you for your efforts. Based on what you’ve said it does sound like this is based on mythic raiding and M+ keys at 20 or above? Is that correct? Just curious.
Loved the video! Really like the new style of videos. Been watching your videos for a long time now helped me decide to mainly play tanks again. Recently started doing mythic + again which I haven't really done since Legion. Thank you for all the content you put out.
Really like your content , continue on & okay don't play warrior so far lol , i have all tanks & healers plus a couple dps & the game is still fun always try different set ups & usually run 18 to 20's trying different abilities & set ups that you wouldn't use at higher keys , this is the first expansion i didn't raid & there was a real freedom to do what i wanted in the game , felt great
"warrior is arguably the worst tank in the game right now" Says who? basically every high end content creator is putting warrior in lower high or upper middle tier of tanks.
It was universally the least-played, least-successful tank in all of Season 2, and that's what's being talked about. This video wasn't recorded in the future when Warrior becomes good because of the S3 Tier Set.
Love this style. The other tanks would be nice to see.

really love the deep dives with talents! The "go pick these talents" - videos are all over youtube
Huge fan of the deep dives, but would definitely like it more for classes that I play like VDH and guardian Druid.
I love these vids, please make lots more!

yes, do the other 4 please!

I would like to see your views on Prot Pally and Guardian Druid
Great content, would love to see more.
This style really helps as its the time where you want to know whether a tank is good to play or not for the coming new patch.
i would love to see this same thing for all of the tanks
Greate input - we need more :D Tank players usually wants more detailed approach :P
Please make more this is my favorite type of video, I use them as a reference to help my raid team decide on classes too 👍👍
yes, make more for other tanks, please... but i think you need to be testing in M+ as well as raid to be able to give the topic justice.
I'd love more videos like this. Guides can be found everywhere this type of video is something special.

Currently between Prot Warrior and Bear.
Thank you, that's really kind!
I like deep dives. Understanding the history of the class design is not a waste of time if you want to improve.
please do for all tanks :) I get a lot out of your videos and hearing your perspective of how the spec interact
Yes more like this please. Currently sat on the fence between sticking to Prot Pally or swapping to VDH
Yup, these videos are great, please do them for the other tanks.
Do more of these. I love your videos anyway but these are great.
Thank you!

I like the overview, especially coming into a new patch.
These types of videos are a great summary of upcoming changes. I like them. You should continue the series.
That's the plan!
Love these kind of videos. Pls do more ❤
love all your content. I do like talking warrior in depth.
Yes please! Love this kind of content
Love your tank videos so yes please make more

I like this type of video. If I want a guide I read the guide since thats a format better for me.
Great video, would love this for all tanks.
You got it!
I like these videos, sometimes it's better to listen than just read about.
Love this style - do blood dk
Yep this kind of video is very helpful and I support doing more , even if it’s not my tank I love knowing the nuances each tank goes through

Just for future video's maybe get to the content faster as 2:43 seconds of waffle is quite alot of time to sit through.
So Prot Wars had one good season and now we're stuck this way until next expansion ? Blah
They're probably going to be in pretty strong shape in Season 3!
