Just a few thoughts:
- There is no pre pot
- Most tanks will use mogu power potion (even if TMI is higher).
- I never use Victory Rush as a standard rotation (and even not talent it)
- Thunder clap should only used on cooldown when glyphed (don’t think it’s standard)
- Ultimatum HS, Shield Block, Barrier, Berserker Rage into normal action list for better visualisation ?!?
- Second Mogu Pot into action.dps_cds
Any comments?
The better the standard APL is, the better we can compare results.
I searched this thread and found several references to the interaction of crit blocks with the 2pc bonus and couldn't find a clear answer on if the heal you get from blocking can crit. Also, just out of curiosity, does your crit banner effect the amount of dmg blocked with a critical block? Anyone good with logs that can lead me in the right direction for finding the answer myself?
On a side note, you would think the all powerfull leader of the Kirin Tor would have figured out how to target her blizzard......
I could on PTR for very sweet amount with Amplify Trinket but on Live I'm not getting a single crit heal from it.
Sco had to sit out on Paragons of Klaxxi. They two-tanked it with pally/monk. :sadface:

Last night was my first raid with the 2-set and it is not even close to how it was on PTR. I'm really disappointed.
Only 1.4 mil healing over the course of a 9:34 Heroic Protector fight in which I am tanking something 100% of the fight.

Its because they took advantage of the Prot Pally with the healer cloak. I'm sure if they were on it today after the hotfix that might be different.
Hmm. 1.4m does indeed sound low. Maybe with so much avoidance the actual blocking part does not come into play.
Enemy Miss > Player Parry > Player Dodge > Player Block > Hit
Is the healing without overheal? Otherwise you would have blocked 4.6m damage over the course of the fight.
Maybe alot of the healing goes down the drain to overheal? The only thing that seems to have changed is that the heal cannot crit anymore.
If you got alot of absorb sources (pally, disc etc.) it may cause alot of overheal.

Hi fellow Prot Warriors! First time poster, long time lurker.
First of all, thanks to everyone contributing to this thread. There has been some great resources posted!
I have a few quick questions regarding the switch from mastery to parry/dodge:
1. Looking on AMR if I was to reforge/gem/enchant to a parry/dodge build. I stand to lose approx 10% mastery and only gain 2.5% parry and 1.5% dodge. The way I look at it, this doesn't seem much of a difference. Is it worth waiting till I get a bit more dodge/parry gear before switching, or will I notice that difference? My intentions were, to keep stacking mastery until I get 2pc bonus then make the switch. What are you thoughts?
2. If you are using an avoidance build. Do you only use shield barrier, even on strong melee damage intake?
3. I saw people mentioned that the avoidance build required less rage control and was more forgiving for people that slacked using a mastery build, are people finding this to be true now that the patch is live and you have had time to test it? I have noticed my rage control/cool down usage is no where near what it should be. I think I'm struggling managing that as well as raid leading so avoidance could relieve some of the pressure.
Thank-you in advanced!

Honestly not sure if that total healing counts overhealing or not. If it does then something is way wrong because 1.4 mil is less then 30% of my Shield Barrier absorbs alone not to mention blocks...
Either what kopcap said or the Riposte bug* nerfed his dps too much (they switched him for a monk tank after all, so the dps can be a factor.)
*: It seems that some Klaxxi (at least Skeer) don't grant you Riposte when you parry/dodge their attack. Don't know if it has been fixed, though.
The log shows
number of shield blocks cast: 41
number of blocks: 51
number of shield barrier casts: 29
number of shield barrier procs: 29
number of shield guard direct heals: 157 (???) .. this is wierd since 51+29 = 80
blocked amount: 8,848,693
shield barrier amount: 10,182,062 (13.9 % overheal) = 8,766,755
Overhealing on a barrier happens if a barrier buff runs out or if it is refreshed with still absorb available.
8,848,693 + 8,766,755 = 17,615,448
17,615,448 * 0.3 = 5,284,634
So it should have healed you for 5,2 mil in total. (alot of that may have been put to overheal but the total amount should be 5,2 mil)
But it only healed you for 1,436,521 and procced 157 direct heals. This is way off.
Not sure if this is a combat log problem.
It may be possible though that multiple heals got procced per barrier. If we assume that 157 is correct and the number of blocks is aswell. Then your shield barrier got triggered 106 times.
Still the total value of absorb and block is 17,6 mil.
It is kind of disturbing that the average heal of Shield Guard is 9149.8.

Yea, 78% overhealing in that log Gliff. I got 82% in my log. I'm thinking that the healing is applied before the damage maybe? So if you're topped between melees it does nothing at all on blocks.
Really weird because I expected it to be so, so much better than it currently is.
edit: Using that log as an example, you blocked 51 times @ around 100k average block. I expect a minimum of 1.5mil healing from shield guard just on blocks, with more coming from Sbarr.
Some stuff from the log:
[21:32:42.849] Rook Stonetoe hits Gliff 169026 (A: 56775, B: 96772)
[21:32:42.896] Gwynnie Eternal Flame Gliff +0 (O: 0, O: 21383)
[21:32:43.079] Rokoz Riptide Gliff +0 (O: 0, O: 20250)
[21:32:43.079] Arokard Renewing Mist Gliff +0 (O: 0, O: 10814)
[21:32:43.239] Gliff Shield Guard Gliff +0 (O: 0, O: 53225)
[21:32:43.395] Rokoz Earthliving Gliff +12128 (O: 0)
[21:32:43.574] Cozmo Atonement Gliff +*1649* (O: 0)
[21:32:43.694] Gwynnie Spirit of Chi-Ji Gliff +21383 (O: 0)
[21:32:43.708] Pallywag Eternal Flame Gliff +14420 (O: 0)
[21:32:43.786] Mangix Renewing Mist Gliff +*33431* (O: 0)
[21:32:43.955] Rokoz Earth Shield Gliff +16809 (O: 0)
[21:32:43.955] Cozmo Prayer of Mending Gliff +*69079* (O: 0)
[21:32:43.955] Cozmo Atonement Gliff +127 (O: 0, O: 63942)
Looks like the heal is coming in too quickly after the block and just being counted as overhealing.

If it's bugged then we need to report it asap. If that's how it is then that 2-set is terrible compared to PTR. Maybe not worth using in 25 man.
