Prot damage in MoP

[Nightstalker]

I'm not quite sure if I got up to max.vengeance at the end, but the numbers are just sick. Tanking multiple mobs you might end up spamming revenge for 200k dps on 3 "main" targets. I have some more footage from such "testing", will upload that later.



Can Arms/Fury compare with such numbers? In situations, where don't have to waste all rage on defense (barrier/block).
(And I'm not talking about cleave as a style, which doesn't benefit from 1handers like heroic strike.)

At the end its still Beta, but feels really weird.

I'm full 463 gear on beta and capeable of 690k executes as prot.
Its not overtuned if you compare numbers with actual dpsers in appropriate gear doing their rotation properly, were doing the dps a tank should be doing.

If i compare it with the numbers of my experience as arms: Crits for 200k are either rare, especially for aoe styles (dragon roar excluded).

the question is... is prot viable in pvp in mop?

in my opinion absolutely NOT:
Shield barrier is way to important and you don't get vegeance AP, so it'll absorb almost nothing.
At this moment vegeance delivers up to about 2/3 of your max.attackpower. Without you're just waiting for your CDs.
And building up rage takes like forever.

Based on the simple change to Second Wind - they will be the only FC's you will want :]

/yawn

In actuality, prot warrior dmg is Low compared to other tanks, especially single target - when you remove execute out of the equation.
It's hard enough to accumulate rage as prot in order to use defensive abilities as is & you're not going to have the spare rage to execute consistently (to maximise recklessness use) unless you intend on taking a beating in the process.

As for whether fury/arms can compete?
Yes & Easily so, single target - not so much AoE, where tanks are evidently Intended to dominate anyway.
It's no different than Cata in this regard; lots of Veng + lots of targets = lots of DMG.

PvP - Don't know & Don't Care.

Wow, playing a tank and wanting to see big numbers in pve.

As for pvp, prot pvp is dead and burried. Unless you consider flag carrying to be pvp.

Sees numbers from a beta version. Assumes they will hit the retail version and spends effort into developing a character based on shoddy information from an unfinished project, also ignoring the obvious hints that the developers have offered over and over about how they intend to balance that class' mechanics in the long run, and which contradict with the above shoddy information.

Yep, just a regular day in the world of FOTM.

hahahah what the fuck. i'm lucky if i crit for 100k with full vengeance on my dk, lol.
dis must be fun D:

Well at least you keep a "decent" amount of selfheal, we stick to <50% of the cataclysm performance
