Could anyone post stat weight? Really confusing with all the changes. Thank you :)

As I said above, the only way to get reliable stat weights is to sim yourself using ETMI/TMI/Dummy sims and then average the weights, essentially.

The misinformation provided is appalling.  Healing for 6% of your max health every few seconds is not "way too low to be useful for raids."  Some numbers for perspective: in our last mythic Ursoc kill, my IP absorbed ~49m damage and my bracers healed me for ~18.5m.  The bracers are insanely good.

Can you link to the log, if you have it? It helps me when relaying information to the writers/reviewers to have as much information as possible.

Hello guyz are you agree with the Noxxis Weight ?

Stamina [12.07] > Strength [9.07] > Haste [7.57] > Versatility [6.82] > Mastery [6.07] > Crit [4.57]

They look ok for me except the stamina quite huge. What do you think ?

I don't want to say yes or no to this, because, essentially I have no idea how they calculated this. It's also worth noting that general weights will never be perfectly correct for your character. For example, if you look at our priority, Haste is top until 25-30%. Let's say your character has 32% Haste, the weight from Noxxic will be completely wrong for you, since it tells you to continue stacking Haste.

I also have this complication with legendaries where I have the wrists, which I love and entirely underrated, the ring and boots. 

Do you by any chance have a log of yourself raiding with the bracers? I'm trying to collect data for feedback on them and I need logs from anyone that has them!

This isn't the best representation since they were wipes, but i have the bracers with the gloves in these logs.

I do have a question,

this guide suggests the following: 

Quote

The stat priority for a Protection Warrior is:

  1. Strength;
  2. Haste (up to 25-30%);
  3. Versatility >= Mastery;
  4. Critical Strike.

but I found that Simcraft suggests a totally different stat distribution.

My stats right now are:

  • Strength: 25.446
  • Stamina: 58.850
  • Armor: 6526
  • Mastery ---> 59%
  • Haste ----------> 19%
  • Crit ---------------> 10%
  • Versatility ---------> 4%

and my Pawn String still looks like this:

Armor > Mastery > Vers > Haste ~= Str > Crit > Sta

(Strength=4.35, Stamina=-0.18, CritRating=1.69, HasteRating=4.36, MasteryRating=5.88, Versatility=5.07, Armor=13.70)

My Simcraft settings are fairly standard, the only thing I changed is my "enemy"

 -> 1 Enemy TMI Standard Boss (T19N)

 

The other thing thats kind of weird is that Treckie/Trecktor 

Quote

This guide has been reviewed and approved by Treckie, one of the best tanks in the world, who raids in Nihilum. You can watch his stream on Twitch and you can follow him on Twitter.

doesnt seem to follow this guide as his setup is faily equal to mine (except he does have the big versatility enchants and stones and thus more versatility overall)

 

So the big question now is: Why is this the case? Is it now Haste or Mastery to go for first because I'm really confused by now.

Or is there a different Simcraft Setting (enemy type) that I should simulate (although a standard T19 boss seems pretty ok to me)??

What are you weighting your stats over? That could be the issue. If it is weighted over DPS, it will be trying to give you stat weights on what will give you the biggest DPS output boost.

That's correct, yeah. The only other thing I can imagine is that SimC isn't treating 25-30% as a solid "breakpoint". It is instead seeing a small amount of Haste as a barely needed increase, if that makes sense? Stat weights are what is most required if you add 1 point of that stat. As soon as you add 1 point, it changes. So currently, it might be that 1 point of Haste isn't as important. If you could add enough to hit 25%, it might start prioritising it more.

Okay, I am completely new to wow.

Can anyone explain to me (for dummies) what " Versatility >= Mastery " means?

It essentially means that the two stats are interchangeable. There is so little difference between the two that you can effectively take either in an upgrade, but technically, Versatility is better.

The guides are currently being updated for 7.1.5! I just wanted to leave a few notes for all of our users that might be getting ready to leave a comment:

  • Some pages do not require updates. The "Last Updated" stat does not mean the page is out of date, it might just not have needed any changes. If you feel that it does, leave a comment telling us what needs changing and why.
  • The process will not happen immediately - some guides will be updated faster than others simply due to the number of resources available. Be patient, they'll be ready when you need them!
  • There might be some continuity errors when making small adjustments to large guide pages. If you do find one of these, just let us know in the comments and we'll get it fixed ASAP.
  • "Why have you not taken into account X buff to X ability?" - remember, just because something got buffed, it doesn't mean it is now automatically better than the other options!

As always, we want to thank you all for being patient while we get things updated and I'm always available to help you all if you need it :)

In the plain text of the BIS Page Prydaz is stated to give a 15% lifepool based absorb shield. This is no longer the case as of 7.1.5.

Also the passage about "knowing when it will come up..." sounds much like its a leftover from the 7.1 effect and maybe could need a rephrase, since that totally confushizzled me.

Thanks for reading.

In honesty, I can't really give general weights that will definitely work for you. The issue is, you can't really 100% prove that a stat weight is correct for tanks. It's often better to just follow the priority and, most of the time, take higher item level gear unless you are swapping BiS stats to your lowest possible stats.

Also, don't stack Haste over 100% SB uptime (unlikely to do so anyway).

The haste versus versatility discussion is maddening.  MMO-Champ and Icy do not agree and there's not an addon out there (that I've found) that weighs haste over versatility.  Versatility is the overwhelming primary stat; while mentioning to work to bring haste to a 30% cap.  So which is it?  Versatility or Haste?  Are all addons being built incorrectly?

As far as I am aware, the guide on MMO that is run by the Discord mods agrees with us on H > M > V, so I'm not sure why you think MMO and Icy don't agree?

We are currently in the process of updating our guides in preparation for the release of 7.2 - please understand that we will not be answering questions in this section about "What is better for 7.2?" prior to the patch release, since all the information will be available when the patch goes live. Please be patient and thanks for waiting!

I got a short proposal to improve the guide for casual players:

The builds & talents section is quite well explained. But a casual is not interested in reading and deciding which combinaition of talents to pick. Is there a way to suggest two builds (dungeons and raid)? I think there are two save builds to go for. It's important to write, that this is not a general recommendation for experienced prot warriors.

Dungeons: 1 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 1 - 3 - 1

Dungeon-Build is DPS-oriented. Basically there is simply no need for high survivability. You don't have to pay attention to the devestator-behavior, it will be a good and clean choice.

Raid: 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 1/3 - 1 - 2

In my opinion this build is quite save for most raid-fights. You can choose between devestator and indom. If you can handle devestator, it will be generaly the better choice.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
