[Prot] WoD/Legion Alpha Discussion

Nobody as of right now, and it's only guardian that has 4m hp on the boss I thought?

As far as I know, everyone has boss at 40M hp, and paladins have 80M (and double hp on all other adds).

Drag infernals through the boss patch to make them tiny

I don't think that's how they work, seems like they get tiny by themselves once they reach a certain HP percentage (10%?)

Spec into repentance and have a macro to cast it when he's casting drain

The stun cd shortener seems more useful and more frequently usable, the only thing at which repentance is better is it's range.
When you have 3+ infernals up, i highly doubt you'll ever be able to find the time to start casting a repe whithout getting knocked off the platform.

After around 70 attempts I'm starting to doubt it being doable at this point. I got the boss to 35% on my best attempt, but mostly after I manage to get him below 60%, the adds just start throwing me around the platform as I can no longer kill them faster than they spawn and dodging 5 beams and 4 smashes is kind of not possible.

Gliders work in there btw, so you can avoid getting knocked out of the platform once every 3 minutes.

I'm about 65 attempts in, not quite consistantly getting to p2. But my best attempt so far on kruul p2 is 11%. About 8 minutes in. Its incredibly taxing to go that long in a nonstop high stress solo environment. Its def doable imo, with 914ilvl at least. Just not balanced between the tank specs considering a prot war did it in 4.5 mins.

a
Val'kyr CHEST.

Not legs
Not Helm
Not Dat ring

I feel you, man. I got 8 legendaries, still no helm or pants. GG.

[Marrilaife]

I'm kinda lucky because I'm mostly defensive oriented in my tanking style, and I have mostly defensive legendaries so they fit me. Sadly when it comes to things that require dps, like the class challenge, I have none of the dps increasing legendaries (sephuz, belt, pants), I've heard Lazel did the challenge btw?

[Veyloris]

I assume a decent number of prot paladins got the challenge down. Within like 15 attempts or so I had an 80% attempt in p2, but I ran out of nethershards. The amount of knockbacks is irritating since we don't really have a way to recover from them, but once you get used to staring at the eyes and never stopping moving it doesn't seem insurmountable at all.

[WoolferRU]

You mean two (one of them with bugs) is decent number?

RIP Ardent Defender... Possibly the best ability in our tool-kit, not touched since WotlK, now on the level of Guardian Spirit.

What happened?

[Raeph]

that is still a bout a10 mill hit (heroic geared). More if you have Defender of Truth trait + Bulwark of Order (absorbs).

Still that is a huge hit to our tool kit, since we have such a low heath pool.

[Morally Grey Storm]

So there's sotr nerf inbound, if understand it correctly?
Which will in turn affect our haste and crit demands.

[Xercin]

I'm pretty sure they added a cap to it during Cataclysm. I specifically remember not being able to survive Impale's on heroic Deathwing with just AD because the overkill broke the "cap" that AD was allowed to save you from.

Nerf to the weapon trait not to Sotr directly.

I was referring to sotr duration cap, to be precise.
DH are facing same issues regarding spikes, AFAIK.

[Sepelio]

Doesnt really affect us, affects DH even less
