slow saddle
#

Leggo feels ok to push

restive sorrel
#

I mean they could remove TOM...doesnt change the fact that itd still feel like shit to play

slow saddle
#

If it scaled with vds

#

Cds

#

Leggo would feel nice

shadow ibex
#

i dont hate or love tom. slotted or not my prio is p much the same minus the execute optimization

#

its just there

modest marlin
#

If Demolish looks cool to use, that's all I want

molten crane
#

execute optimization?

olive nest
#

Vertical bladestorm when deadge

restive sorrel
#

TOM isnt something that you actually feel, its just anti-synergistic with something like Demolish and has obvious clashes in design. But its probably for the best(design wise) if they removed TOM anyway

molten crane
#

vertical bladestorm is for their new ninja class they're gonna make 2 expacks from now

modest marlin
#

Hopefully Arhcimtiros isn't too mad that Demolish is gonna root warriors, though this sounds like FoF at first and we all know what happened there

rare kite
#

eyebeam feels good to press and that's a channel, if it feels as good as eyebeam we take those

slow saddle
#

I hate tom only for dmg curvw

fresh tide
#

You want to spend rage for AM anyway, so unless they remove/gut AM I think it's gonan feel bad either way

slow saddle
#

Demo could be that cds on cds big boom button

hazy flower
#

@latent moss

#

good run

#

would be timed

molten crane
#

eyebeam feels good for DH because they literally just push t heir buttons on cd

hazy flower
#

3rd boss at 40%

#

tank died

#

unluku

slow saddle
#

Am isnt to big

rare kite
slow saddle
#

Its only for cs. So playing iftk

hazy flower
#

look at this beast

#

got lucky with reflects

#

and opened 600k

shadow ibex
#

eyebeam is also mad fast 2 sec baseline

#

really comes down to if channel is hasted

restive sorrel
#

eyebeam also gives DH meta, sometimes gives haste if theyre playing the talent. And DH eyebeaming for like....what 1 sec? Isnt usuall an issue because they have so much mobility that if they have to move right away to dodge something, they can usually just fel rush out ez

modest marlin
#

that's something that can be feedbacked once we can actually play with hero talents in alpha

fresh tide
#

if the channel is really hated they could always make it a rampage-like ability

shadow ibex
#

axe tom and only iftk and every cast should be lining up with a CS cast with AM

#

more haste isnt bad

molten crane
#

stand still swing dum is.. warrior fantasy?

slow saddle
#

Big swing dum

shadow ibex
#

"Mechanically, Colossus will aim to deliver some of the biggest melee hits around, and sometimes those big hits come from knowing precisely when and where to hit their target for maximum effectiveness."

modest marlin
#

I mean that's thematically what Colossus Smash started as haha

shadow ibex
#

I like that at least

#

the hardest hitting melee hits part i mean

#

the rest is just the arms spec tree description

slow saddle
#

Just wait is gonna be rampage like dmg

#

🤣

shadow ibex
#

i just wish they would give us rough idea of how much % AP they are aiming for

restive sorrel
#

I mean I dont get how the ability changes thematically if they instead made it like a 1 sec fixed channel that didnt root you and you could still interrupt during it. Doesnt sound any less "colossus" to me

slow saddle
#

Idm a cost benefit

restive sorrel
#

just A LOT more practical and more enjoyable to press

slow saddle
#

If there is benefit

#

Keep in mind that if its 30-40 sec its everypack

molten crane
#

i meeean i feel like warrior should get THE biggest single hits

#

especially arms

slow saddle
#

And if channel is 1 sec.. dmg has to be lower

molten crane
#

in melee

slow saddle
#

Ye coz pala is in range🤣🤣

#

Next q is

#

Can it crit

modest marlin
#

given the entire colossus tree is crit oriented, I hope so

next sphinx
#

I swear everytime I pug mythic vault I get to broodkeeper Diurna and the group falls apart >:[. I just want my lightning shoulders q.q

modest marlin
#

Hopefully Slayer isn't a totally different stat priority in case there's any dungeon/raid bosses that never hit execute range

#

My guess is it's going to replace execute with a different ability after you Smash/Recklessness.

restive sorrel
#

I mean I couldnt care less how "thematic" something is if it ends up feeling shit to press and has obvious design issues interacting with meaningful content and mechanics. Weird how they managed to design all the other hero trees/abilities to be perfectly thematic without obvious downsides that can potentially kill you or lead to other unfortunate events okayge

modest marlin
#

or whatever value ultimate penintence has

tender geyser
restive sorrel
#

they made killing spree(currently still a dogshit ability for outlaw tho) make you take whatever damage you might have took while you didnt have control of your character, instead be taken over 8 seconds. Could also maybe do something like that

tender geyser
#

why does it say 2 hours

#

if server is shutting down

#

stupid game baited me

#

to think there is more time

wispy kettle
#

give demolish hard iframes xan

shadow ibex
#

and could fit on the defensive node in the hero tree

restive sorrel
#

Like they wanna call it "thematic" to design the ability like that....ok, then I think its pretty "thematic" for me to take like 50% less damage during it and have the damage be converted to a x sec dot then. Then I might entertain the idea of it not being awful

hardy olive
#

And still not getting the axe ……

modest marlin
#

2s is pretty short I feel

shadow ibex
#

its about as long as the lego channel is for most ppl

nova marsh
#

I am gonna bet

#

That my fucking ret

#

Will get it their like 3rd week

#

ig I know what my main for S4 is

tender geyser
#

wtf it logged me out 30 secs earlier

#

i got scammed

#

this game is trash

#

why the fuck do they do the maintenance at 4 am

nova marsh
#

Because it's EU

#

And tbh a lot of games I play besides wow do maintence at some ungodly hour at night

modest marlin
#

cause it's 6pm PST, and the devs are doing the resets and go home

#

Remember, there's like no EU teams anymore

shadow ibex
#

making shield set macro that swaps to shield to shield slam and generate extra stacks of colossal might purpleface

#

better idea let colossus warrior equip shield in offhand with 2hander

nova marsh
#

We are not becoming spartans lol

#

Would be neat

#

I mean, being able to spend rage on shield block and use shield slam thou

#

🤔

#

Is it a cook?

shadow ibex
#

i want to juggle 94 button priority list

#

let me use shield in offhand and shield slam ez blizz

nova marsh
#

YES WE NEED MORE BUTTONS

#

Arms has too little

#

Blizz look

#

My arms bar has missing buttons we can't have that!

wicked aurora
#

Who thought this was a good idea…..

rare kite
#

what's that on your screen

wicked aurora
#

Annoying as hell that the legendary does this…

wicked aurora
rare kite
#

whats dn

wicked aurora
#

Deez nuts

rare kite
#

gottem

misty bridge
#

they're -trying- to not make it similar to the legendary xan

wicked aurora
#

But it’s exactly that lol

misty bridge
#

Yeah, I'm just gonna wait and see what they cook up

shadow ibex
#

a colossus player will have to think tactically about when and where to use it

#

next line: you want to use it as soon as it is avaliable

wicked aurora
#

I can’t wait for me to hit the button and the tank to move the mob out of range mid cast

restive sorrel
shadow ibex
#

use this ability on cooldown. also

#

this ability requires thought

#

and care regarding its use and that is part of the flavor

smoky kayak
#

if the colossal might stuff works out, it's possible that delaying it to build another stack isn't actually much of a loss

tender geyser
#

the server is down what do i do now

smoky kayak
#

if CS/ToM survive, we might want to hold regardless (like early SkS)

minor gust
#

I fucking knew it Slayer will save warrior

modest marlin
#

I can't imagine CS ever going away.

nova marsh
#

CS going away would just be....wrong

smoky kayak
nova marsh
#

Like I genuinely can't imagine them just taking away something that's so key and kinda iconic to warrior

smoky kayak
#
  • with ToM, we might not want to use Demolish during CS for obvious reasons
  • without ToM, we might use it during CS
  • if something else changes, we might not
nova marsh
#

Maybe AM yeah, but not C no way

misty bridge
#

I hope TOM dies painfully

smoky kayak
#

CS has changed several times already over the course of its existence, thinking it might again isn't outside the realm of possibilty

restive sorrel
#

I love when the flavor of using an ability that is supposed to do a lot of damage, is that I could die if I use it...but im incentivized to press it as often as possible and it will feel bad every time I have to hold it for 2, 3, 4+ sec numerous times during an encounter or key or w/e

shadow ibex
#

the stacks increasing OP/bleed dmg is consolation for holding it

modest marlin
#

I mean CS is "relatively" new

#

It was a WoD addition.

restive sorrel
#

im sure it will feel like a really really good consolation prize if the ability actually does do a fuck ton of damage(like it will need to)

shadow ibex
#

CS was in cata

restive sorrel
shadow ibex
#

CS has been around for cata

modest marlin
#

was it a different name then?

shadow ibex
#

idr when it went arms only but it was for both specs in MoP idk about legion/wod

nova marsh
#

We need demo

#

To be TOP DAMAGE

#

I'm talking EVREY HIT is as hard if not harder then MS

#

That crit

#

Without critting

shadow ibex
#

back in cata it was different in that it caused dmg to ignore all armor

#

then they switched to just flat dmg inc

nova marsh
#

even thou it's kinda the same thing

#

Since PvE armour is 30% anyways ye?

modest marlin
nova marsh
#

is warrior always trash on launch?

modest marlin
#

depends on how good the class was in the last patch of the expac I'd say

#

oh how much it sucked to be prot in S1 of Shadowlands

shadow ibex
#

CN was probably only time you could say it was trash on launch

#

if u mean patch launch, arms was p down bad for first 9? weeks of this patch. idr when we got that tuning

nova marsh
#

I mean on xpack launch

#

Yeah nath was....really really bad

#

I remeber playing fury as the worst class in the entire game for boss damage....in raid

#

I just want warrior to feel great again man.

minor gust
#

Slayer will save us trust

nova marsh
#

It's just gonna be condemm man

shadow ibex
#

slayer just needs to make jugg stacks decay slowly outside of combat

nova marsh
#

I hated it the first time

#

I'll hate it again

shadow ibex
#

if they did that then they would be paying attention

minor gust
#

whats to hate about condemn its just execute but u can use at the start of the fight aswell

restive sorrel
#

I pray slayer is actually cool and good

nova marsh
#

Tbh I just think it's both creativily bankrupt, it did less damage then normal execute, had a huge penality on jugg (or ashen jugg), and just kinda....didn't feel good to press to me

#

That

verbal inlet
#

Finally got the axe, AND augruy tonight gents..

sacred zodiac
#

king

nova marsh
#

And I don't want a talent tree based around yet another concept we've already seen before that people didn't really like (Coll)

#

Fyr the talent tree is the most mid idea ever

minor gust
#

I feel like Slayer tree could improve condemn a lot with it being execute focused but tbh I agree I dont want condemn back just because I like execute being an end of the fight push fills the fantasy perfectly

nova marsh
#

Yeah, I think condemm takes away from that idea too much, ontop of just feeling weaker overall

sacred zodiac
#

was condemn even execute based

#

ig recycling ashen can technically call it execute based

shadow ibex
#

was just bad frankly

#

the first 80% passes so fast

#

if they wanted to let us execute above 35% should just let us use it anytime

nova marsh
#

Yeah having it at the first 80% was a horrible decision because....evreyone pops CDs and 90% of bosses that aren't like

restive sorrel
#

the only downside is I can already see slayer being the one youll be more likely to play for raid and col for m+. And I am slightly worried about if the tree is based too much around execute that it makes it essentially pigeonholed into being a raid tree, or that they lean heavily into pushing even more damage into execute(and lowering damage outside of execute even more) but dont make the spec/tree do strong enough execute to be actually good.

karmic fiber
shadow ibex
#

i think it was like 6 seconds

karmic fiber
#

yeah

modest marlin
#

odd that wowhead lost the talent version

minor gust
sacred zodiac
#

ah fuck what was the useless condemn talent called

modest marlin
#

I miss condemn

nova marsh
#

Harrow something

shadow ibex
#

if the s3 tier doesnt get recycled into slayer i would be surprised

sacred zodiac
#

the one that increased execute damage by 2% per enemy around you

wary raft
#

harrowing punishment

nova marsh
#

Like I said

sacred zodiac
#

bring back harrowing punishment !!!!

nova marsh
#

I want at least ONE FUCKING TREE

modest marlin
#

Wouldn't shock me to see slayer readd the execute above 85% range

nova marsh
#

To have at least an idea we haven't seen before

#

Ig mountian thane has that? Kind of?

shadow ibex
#

i would just rather it have a mechanic to enable execute to be cast above 35%

nova marsh
#

But I mean for arms

sacred zodiac
#

i will reroll if slayer drops and it says above 80%

hexed saddle
#

poggers

shadow ibex
#

like forcing an SD proc p much

olive nest
#

rework dance of death clueless

nova marsh
#

Rework like half our talents

#

I genuinely think arms should feel like a new class by the time they're d one with it copium

#

We'll do huge sustain and burst

sacred zodiac
#

uh huh

nova marsh
nova marsh
#

Was harrowing ever even good lol

sacred zodiac
#

was a choice you could make in m+ but then you're playing venthyr in m+ what the fuck are you doing

hexed saddle
restive sorrel
#

what if they made a version of unhinged for the slayer tree but instead it transformed BS into a different, better ability that like...toss out a flurry of executes to all the enemies around you and each execute applied CS at 50% effectiveness LETSGOOO

nova marsh
#

being a "raid focused player"

hexed saddle
#

8% per target up to 40%

#

it was so good

#

for aoe

#

and they literally just ruined it

shadow ibex
#

idk wtf they were thinking with us s1 of SL

hexed saddle
#

unusable for the rest of the xpac

shadow ibex
#

just did 0 dmg

#

and never got addressed

#

meanwhile DKs with prenerf AMZ

#

just being the most insane plate dps ever

sacred zodiac
#

wdym designing a fight perfectly for the niche of one specific spec in the game and that spec being middle of the pack on that fight at best is a design catastrophe

shadow ibex
#

even huntsman

#

good boomie would own u

#

and it was perma cleave

tender geyser
#

Does anyone know how to make my frames horizontal like this?

shadow ibex
#

was only time we could have good fun

wary raft
#

huntsman was my first mythic pink gladge good times

sacred zodiac
#

i mean i genuinely cannot think of a fight and spec that was better suited to the design choices any class other than arms on danny

modest marlin
#

I tanked as venthyr warrior because of RP reasons haha

sacred zodiac
#

maybe sub smolderon gets close

shadow ibex
#

it was a dark time man

nova marsh
shadow ibex
#

looking back its crazy we played arms thru it

#

i mean not like fury was better

minor gust
#

I just hope Slayer has some actual fun/cool nodes in it. Colossus was a massive disappointment with all the nodes basically being boring %dmg increases and seeing that demolish is a confirmed root in place has sucked out all the rest of the interest I had from it

sacred zodiac
#

sub zul is on par but sub zul was actually good

shadow ibex
#

it was the best and worst time because you could really play whatever spec you wanted on any fight

#

both were ass just have fun kid

wicked aurora
#

Inb4 slayer is like SD focused and kinda like expose weakness for rogue

#

Next SD proc consumes all rage for 600% damage

#

Clearly balanced idea

shadow ibex
#

i dont mind execute idea if you can force allow a cast above exe

#

or its just insane SD procs like current tier

#

i think more interesting to unlock/force SD proc tho

minor gust
#

enough SD procs to consistently keep up jugg xan

nova marsh
#

I think SD procs are a good idea

#

or

shadow ibex
#

my sleeper bet is somewhere in slayer tree = juggernaut stacks no longer decay while warrior is in combat

nova marsh
#

We get an execute cd in place of ava which could be cool af

shadow ibex
#

since we're talking thematic

#

slayer in combat all time = most danger cat in the area

#

sounds like the doom slayer to me

nova marsh
#

I genuinely somewhat doubt we'll get jugg stack decay

#

That would be lit thou tbh

shadow ibex
#

already toyed with it on trinkets

#

and fits with fantasy

wicked aurora
#

Execute splash damage

shadow ibex
#

stacks decay slowly outside of combat

wicked aurora
minor gust
#

Remove jugg stack cap

shadow ibex
#

if you want do something crazy at max stacks then and reset them

wicked aurora
shadow ibex
#

like execute cast at 15 stack does X and consumes them all, but still no incombat decay

sacred zodiac
shadow ibex
#

just no incombat decay and only reasoning is its thematic and thats enough

wicked aurora
sacred zodiac
#

takes 5 minutes to learn the kingsbane sequence and then you know how to play it

#

then you have your splash damage

shadow ibex
#

i just want some flavor at the bottom of an execute talent that explodes a target if they die to execute for some dmg

#

not big enough to be tuned around

#

just some flavor

wicked aurora
#

Sin is kinda cool though

#

Class fantasy wise

hazy flower
#

Too many dots

wicked aurora
#

If I’m gonna play another class as an alt it’ll probably be my devoker

nova marsh
#

I know

wicked aurora
#

Since I already played it last tier as a main

nova marsh
#

We get a stacking buff that increases our size by 5%

#

Jugg but for size instead of damage keks

shadow ibex
#

my 2 alts this expac was a fdk and an enh

#

both last tier

nova marsh
#

Enh is SO GOOD in df

wicked aurora
#

Devoker is honestly really fun

nova marsh
#

Give me a spellblade type class and I will salivate over it

shadow ibex
#

if enh still had same build as last tier i would probably alt it again

wicked aurora
#

You play Last Epoch yet?

shadow ibex
#

but im not fucking casting no god damn primordial wave

wicked aurora
#

They got a spell blade

#

Sick af

nova marsh
#

Pwave feels good tbh

#

It's just a shame that they murdered storm for it

shadow ibex
#

i want my enh like s2 enh

#

wheres its jsut a fury warrior

#

and thats ok

nova marsh
#

na. I like enhance as is more

#

Expect for the LL thing

#

having to cycle lash on ALL TARGETS in keys is....just...no

#

It's like Fresh meat but worse

wicked aurora
#

Game is honestly dope

nova marsh
#

neat

#

Honestly the fact that Enhance became a spellblade type spec still kinda shocks me

modest marlin
#

Templar might be a good example for Slayer I think, I like the idea if it being focused on Smash/Recklessness

shadow ibex
#

i need something to play between fyrak jail nights i was thinking of installing shadow of war again

nova marsh
#

Slayer being completely passive would be okay

nova marsh
#

Or the souls series

#

Usually what I pick up in between playing wow....or helldivers 2

shadow ibex
#

really wonder what the first node of slayer will be

#

curious if it will be a new major CD or just modify execute passively and then rest of tree builds on that

nova marsh
#

I'm still betting on condemm

shadow ibex
#

its fury/arms and they only really share avatar

#

cooldowns i mean

modest marlin
#

doesn't have to be shared

#

Templar uses Eye of Tyr and Ashen Wake

nova marsh
#

I could CS and reck ig 🤷‍♂️

#

Or CS and OF

shadow ibex
#

OF way too far down i think

#

would have to be reck but cooldowns for both are weird, its assumed arms has AM, fury doesnt always

#

probably just some execute passive thats built upon

nova marsh
#

Yeah like I said, condemm basically probally

#

Considering Col, I genuinely don't have a lot of faith they won't just reuse ideas

shadow ibex
#

colossus have fairly new ideas in it at least to warrior tree. the cooldow reduction past max stacks is a very elegant way to give value to those talents that generate stacks once at 10

#

i think 5% dmg per enemy struck on same node as a 20% increase on bleeds is pretty dumb

nova marsh
#

Yes but at the end of the day, it's basically the lego in talent form

shadow ibex
#

both are aoe increase only one is mega good and the other isnt

#

thats probably my only beef with the tree

#

aside from root

nova marsh
#

I just think it's keystone is so weak as a concept

#

And....lacking creativity

#

Like okay yeah, blizzard isn't known as the most creative company in the world when it comes to gameplay, but come on.

modest marlin
#

these trees are meant to just be enhancing certain fantasies

#

Like Frostfire does exactly what people wanted to have back

#

Mountain Thane being all electric works for me too

nova marsh
#

Yes. Keyword: enhancing

#

Collusus dosen't feel like it actually enhances any of the core ideas of arms

#

It just gives us some damage numbers, a cool size increase, and the legendary as a permant fixture of the rotation

minor gust
#

yeah the only thing Colossus does that for the theme is 5% size xd

fickle nexus
#

arms stacks buffs the tree stacks buffs

nova marsh
#

Does anyone here actually enjoy stacking buffs?

#

Didn't we, just a few hours ago, talk about how that was kind of a problem with DF arms?

minor gust
#

I cant wait to get a CS and TOM overlap so I can press demolish and die because im rooted but I had to send demolish because of the CS and TOM stack

hexed saddle
#

hopefully tom just gets erased

minor gust
#

hopefully

fickle nexus
#

tom doesnt make sense with current arms

shadow ibex
#

no reason for tom to exist tbh

#

its complete passive you dont pay attention to until recent execute optimization

restive sorrel
#

or you had to hold demolish for 5 seconds to not risk dying and you know you just lost like 5% damage doing so for the 3rd time that fight okayge feels great man

hexed saddle
#

tom is just bad flatline damage design

modest marlin
#

People wanted ToM cause of BfA memories

opal folio
nova marsh
#

Yeah like....we don't really want that and I think stacking buffs could be like

fickle nexus
#

corruption stacks tom was pretty neat

opal folio
#

I asked for ToM back because of rose-tinted goggles

modest marlin
#

I think the idea of a super hard hitting combo attack is great.

opal folio
#

I fucking hate ToM

shadow ibex
#

i mean tbf at start of this expac we could also spend rage because we used slam

nova marsh
#

An idea of build up to a big hit

hexed saddle
#

no me tho

#

i hated tom

#

tom sucks

opal folio
#

We should have listened

minor gust
#

Buff stacking is fine if its controlled CS and TOM overlap is not easily done

shadow ibex
#

i dont care either way about tom but i think it feels worse than actually is

#

because we cant spend

#

pre 10.0.5 OP buffs we were slamming in CS all day

wary raft
nova marsh
#

CS and ToM overlap is just as bad, actually no actually worse then IP

opal folio
#

maybe they just need to rework FoB

hexed saddle
#

the fact that the average tom buff since vault hasnt actually changed much

#

is pretty bad

opal folio
#

and tom will be fun again

shadow ibex
#

yea thats dumb

modest marlin
#

I would almost rather it be a 2-3 button combo we press. Gonna invoke the dreaded FF14, but I'm thinking of like how some melee rotation finishers feel in FF14.

wary raft
shadow ibex
#

because u spent rage

nova marsh
#

I do not want nor think wow should ever have any specs with completely static rotations

hexed saddle
#

yeah it was epic

shadow ibex
#

in current tier u cant force CS up in time

nova marsh
#

Combos kinda encourage that....

shadow ibex
#

because u follow prio and prio is OP

#

it went backwards actually

#

i mean you can with FoB on council but fuck fob

nova marsh
#

I think if it's implemented like how Temp strikes is....it's okay ig?

modest marlin
#

It'd depend on how frequently you do it, but I'm not against a button that replaces itself for each step of the combo

nova marsh
#

Yeah like temp strikes

#

But like

restive sorrel
#

I mean thats a hell of a lot better than a 2 sec rooted channel...

nova marsh
#

Not three new buttons that just bloat the FUCK out of my bars

restive sorrel
#

but basically anything is better

shadow ibex
#

make arterial cut the aoe choice, other choice on that node adds an additional swing to demolish attack

#

so its 4 attacks instead of 3

#

now thats thematic

#

none of this "cleave is 5% stronger per target struck up to 20%" baby shit

modest marlin
#

If the devs want us to feel like we're doing an actual hard hitting combo, then yeah, pressing the buttons will feel like a combo

minor gust
#

yeah its weird that only 3 nodes affects demolish meanwhile the paladin ones the whole tree affects their new toy with sunspots or the hammers

nova marsh
#

I'd rather have cool combos like demolish we can control

#

Espically if it's like a three step temp strikes

restive sorrel
#

its also weird how literally like half(or more) of the talents are just passive % dmg buffs on shit...like bruh, can you mail it in even more than that?

shadow ibex
#

these are just both aoe choices, make 1 ST plz

#

a final hiit to demolish that only hits the primary target

modest marlin
#

3 1s gcd abilities would be pretty nifty

hexed saddle
#

so funny that arterial is just always better lol

shadow ibex
#

so not to compete with aoe dmg of bleed

rare kite
shadow ibex
#

someone got paid

minor gust
#

WW one might be better if ur playing FoB build in M+

rare kite
modest marlin
#

We don't know how big the current combat dev team is. All we know is Holinka left and took at least one dev with him

shadow ibex
#

not saying fob would be bad

nova marsh
modest marlin
#

It's not about layoffs, both Holinka and the evoker dev left for other opportunities

shadow ibex
#

bam now u got ST choice

restive sorrel
#

number of combat dev's working on DPS warrior: half of one, if you combine the two interns working on it in their free time(so maybe an hour per month)

nova marsh
#

They don't care about us

#

Never have

#

think we'll be content with some random armour and a shiny new 2h

modest marlin
#

It's a team but one dev usually takes the lead on 5-6 specs

shadow ibex
#

they lost a lot of ppl over the course of DF also tbf. they didnt get hit hardest by layoffs but they saw a lot of departures over course of this expac

nova marsh
#

I think war within is gonna be a repeat of shadowlands tbh

#

With....very....very long gaps between content

modest marlin
#

Just pray the warrior lead doesn't dip out like the Druid one did mid alpha

restive sorrel
#

meh shitty excuse, its still a big company and they seem to have done pretty well with the other hero trees theyve released so far so....

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

demolish is a mega aoe hitting thing tho

#

surely you'd want to get stacks for the CDR asap

#

and OP dmg = DN dmg

smoky kayak
minor gust
#

all depends on how its tuned right

shadow ibex
#

yea ofc ofc

modest marlin
#

They haven't said they're redoing lightsmith, just oracle no?

shadow ibex
#

but idk i still think one could go

#

the bleed is too good in both st/aoe

#

i wouldnt mind it gone either for a squarly ST option

minor gust
#

same

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

i just think a node adding an extra swing to demolish is neat idea since they specified it is a 3 hit attack in the post

hexed saddle
#

i just hope the flat % increase nodes get some iteration

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

yea fairly boring to have them in hero specs

#

the % increases i mean

smoky kayak
#

I agree on too many broad passive bonuses, that was a big point of feedback for me

nova marsh
#

Tbh

shadow ibex
#

at that point why have them if you get them anyway

#

could just bake them in and have another cool pick

hexed saddle
#

10% crit dam, 15% MS damage, 5% vers are all pretty mid

smoky kayak
#

IMO the hero talent trees should help customize your gameplay, but most of ours so far are just 'add one seldom used button'

modest marlin
#

You know what hero talents are? They're basically WoD perks but slightly better eh?

nova marsh
#

I just think all the hero talents feel like a poorly thought out version of class skins

smoky kayak
hexed saddle
restive sorrel
hexed saddle
#

thane is better than colossus at least

shadow ibex
#

thane has a lot going on

#

none of it interesting to me

rare kite
shadow ibex
#

but im sure somewhere someone is happy

smoky kayak
hexed saddle
#

agreed

#

templar and herald of the sun should be the blueprint for all hero talents

smoky kayak
#

its the same mechanics, just outright better in every way

hexed saddle
#

yeah its a bit silly

#

i agree

rare kite
#

scalecommander looks insane

shadow ibex
#

if thane ended up being best in raid i would riot

hexed saddle
#

theres no conceivable way for that too happen

restive sorrel
#

no shot Id play that shit if it ends up being anything like the current iteration of it

hexed saddle
#

its way too aoe oriented

minor gust
#

I like Thane it nailed the theme perfectly it just needs adjustments

shadow ibex
#

just that .0001% cursed timeline

hexed saddle
#

it just needs to not be templar/herald lite

minor gust
#

basically Dual wielding Thor

#

lightning everyhwere

hexed saddle
#

like you can tell that templar and herald are both just thane but way better

#

its very obvious

nova marsh
#

I think it's also worth noting the obvious iterations

#

Like

hexed saddle
#

yeah thats why im hopeful

nova marsh
#

It's clear they're gonna look at these and design them like 20 times over

hexed saddle
#

that warrior stuff gets some iteration

nova marsh
#

Think about our first look at the warrior talents

#

Those were REALLY ROUGH

restive sorrel
#

I think thane sounds decently good/cool for prot, but thats it. Dont think it really fits fury very well, and theyd have to buff the talents and numbers quite significant for it to be good for fury tbh/

nova marsh
#

What with dauntless duelist and....fury having to waste 4 talent points on AURA BUFFS

minor gust
#

I just wanna see Slayer that is the only tree ive been really interested in since the announcements

smoky kayak
#

wasn't even that, dauntless duelist might have been fine, but the layout of the original trees were hot garbage compared to now

nova marsh
#

That too

#

I mean our layout is still kinda garbo, espically for fury

smoky kayak
#

not really tbh

restive sorrel
#

They’re still hot garbage lul

smoky kayak
#

they're massively better than they were

#

and honestly the trees now aren't even bad

#

Warriors really have no problem taking practically every talent they want for any particular piece of content

#

the biggest complaint people have is fucking shockwave which is trivial to take

nova marsh
#

Because people hate loosing dps

#

Even when uproar has debatable value at best tbh

smoky kayak
#

Sure, but it's still an extremely inconsequential issue

hexed saddle
#

id liek to see all of the meaningless throughput in the second tier erradicated

shadow ibex
#

yea

#

fuck crushing fury

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

sidearm

#

barb training

restive sorrel
#

Sure maybe you can convince yourself they aren’t that bad in a vacuum but when you compare them to others, the trees are dogass

smoky kayak
#

point being they don't stop us from taking anything we really want

hexed saddle
#

i dont disagree

#

its just annoying

smoky kayak
#

meh

shadow ibex
#

if CF survives i would be shocked

nova marsh
#

I mean tbh I think you should really take issue with how inconsistant blizz is with class trees

shadow ibex
#

its the most begrudging 2 points in the game

hexed saddle
#

the worst part of the tree is zerkers rage not being baseline and having to spend 2 points for piercing howl

nova marsh
#

You have shaman that's pure utility and then like....half of both warrior spec's CDs are literally from the class tree

opal folio
#

Getting feared feels so personal now

hexed saddle
#

i dont even know the solution

shadow ibex
#

it feels disgusting to play this class for over a decade

hexed saddle
#

cause they all feel pivotal to warrior strength

shadow ibex
#

and suddenly be feared

opal folio
#

^

shadow ibex
#

jesus christ i hate it more than anything in the world

#

if you had anyone who played warrior for like 2 expacs on the team and they read that

#

they would kick it out the window

modest marlin
#

@smoky kayak would the system allow 3 0.75 gcd abilities in a row or is the 1s impossible to break?

nova marsh
#

Na they'd be oGCDs instead

#

We gonna weave again like it's IP, expect worse keks

shadow ibex
#

i genuinely dont know how they threw BR into the class tree and no one on the team was like wait wait wait hold up thats too far

hexed saddle
#

yeah but its in the spec tree

#

not the class tree

#

very different

shadow ibex
#

AM needs to be in class tree

#

swap it with CF idc

nova marsh
#

...Offensive CDs and utility are also very different

hexed saddle
#

i'd like to see the 5% damage node replaced with AM

restive sorrel
#

I mean how much of the "utility" in the tree do you just not take because its near worthless in keys/raid and not worth dropping other points for? A lot of them. Its not so much an extreme lack of accessibility, its just either "why do I have to spend talent points on this" or "why do I even want to waste points on this"

shadow ibex
#

because they increase output

nova marsh
shadow ibex
#

i think that can be said about too many war talents tbf

nova marsh
#

Just aura buff us for that amount

shadow ibex
#

things we take begrudingly because its more dmg and we cant really put a point elsewhere

restive sorrel
hexed saddle
shadow ibex
#

what are you gonna take honed cacophonous roar?

hexed saddle
#

and you'd prob have to nerf it too

#

but yeah its silly that its not in the class tree

nova marsh
shadow ibex
#

AM in class tree and avatar somewhere where its not just an illusion of choice because all 3 specs hard path to it no matter what

smoky kayak
hexed saddle
#

yeah i dont think the tree is horrid

#

it could use some work tho

nova marsh
#

Tbh I just want an actual incorp counter and I will not shut up about it

shadow ibex
#

i like the torments

nova marsh
#

There is literally no reason warrior should be THAT FAR Behind any other class in terms of counter an affix that can literally cause wipes

shadow ibex
#

and i guess double time

hexed saddle
smoky kayak
#

only things that need to go baseline is TC and BzR

shadow ibex
#

im torn between warmachine

#

because current rage economy

#

but in a vaccum i like it

smoky kayak
#

BzR because the use case is so small its virtually never worth a talent point
TC because it adds more low level capability (not hugely important, but still) and makes Mountain Thane easier to talent into

hexed saddle
#

i think frothing is a bigger issue than war machine

shadow ibex
#

i probably like the speed boost more

hexed saddle
#

i despise frothing

shadow ibex
#

frothing and sudden death procing during my execute animation so it doesnt spend rage

smoky kayak
#

I'm alarmed that you have that strong of an opinion out of something so passive lol

shadow ibex
#

are my least favorite things right now

hexed saddle
#

yeah idk why

smoky kayak
#

that's how I feel about most of these conversations tbh

hexed saddle
#

i just really dislike the inconsistent rage gen

smoky kayak
#

like people have really strong opinions over really minor things

hexed saddle
#

i know its a silly thing to not like

#

but the inconsistency just makes me feel bad more than it feels good

nova marsh
#

War machine is only even noticable in keys

#

and even then not really

shadow ibex
#

its part of the reason for the rage situation so i dont like it because of that but its not the only culprit

restive sorrel
#

Its probably because people overall hold animosity towards the way warrior has been treated(or, rather...ignored), so they develop strong opinions about things that are actually fairly minor.

shadow ibex
#

just small building block creating the mess that is pre execute arms

smoky kayak
#

Yeah, but I don't think they're the main cluprits by any means

#

Honestly Reck is the biggest one

#

with how much CDR Arms gets, its uptime is pretty high for a proc

shadow ibex
#

and reck should be crit amp/crit chance instead of rage

smoky kayak
#

Well Reck is fine, it's Zerkers Torment that would change

hazy flower
hexed saddle
#

as much as I liked the idea of the torments when they came up

#

i think the specs would prob be healthier without them

nova marsh
#

I mean reduced effectiveness could account for loss of it

hazy flower
#

fyi

shadow ibex
hazy flower
#

blademasters "reduced effectiveness"

shadow ibex
#

and then all specs have more choice at bottom tier

hazy flower
#

doesnt exist

nova marsh
hazy flower
#

it does exactly the same damage

#

lasts just as long

nova marsh
hazy flower
#

it does

shadow ibex
#

if avatar was higher up and no torments all 3 specs can do something other than avatar + X in the bottom row

hazy flower
#

last exactly

#

the same

hexed saddle
#

just put more stuff like this in

#

instead of cd procs cd

#

much more interesting

#

imo

shadow ibex
#

well what do oyu do for arms tho?

#

its already a 20% dmg increase

#

dmg cooldown even more dmg?

hexed saddle
#

50% cd on MS

#

slam that shit

shadow ibex
#

MS is already up super freqent

#

i dont disagree

nova marsh
#

Just remove the CD on MS at that point for our CD

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

but with blattlelord etc already so many sources of getting it back fast

smoky kayak
#

just talking about the rage part specifically, Reck is a huge contributor

wary raft
shadow ibex
#

i wouldnt mind no torments and avatar higher up and a new cool cap stone

nova marsh
#

Or just removing the rage part and give us a rage pool that isn't bottomless outside of execute

modest marlin
#

I think avatar, spear, and roar are a great set of capstones. At least there's dps in the warrior class tree unlike many

hexed saddle
#

spear can fucking die

nova marsh
#

I honestly want to ask

shadow ibex
#

if we are tuned around it

smoky kayak
#

feels like some people just don't like anything lol

nova marsh
#

What the fuck is the point of the class tree? I've been wondering this for a long time now

modest marlin
#

Aww,you don't like the poop puddle?

shadow ibex
#

its not like we deal more dmg than other classes because we have a huge TR at the bottom of our tree

hexed saddle
#

having throughput there doesnt really matter

nova marsh
#

I don't think either spec is better off for having a lot of damage in the class tree

modest marlin
#

I know, but it still feels nice to pick vs the lack of anything in the shaman tree or the mess that is druid

shadow ibex
#

its just super restrictive if anything

nova marsh
shadow ibex
#

at least druid can pick up 1 min roar or dont

snow flame
shadow ibex
#

warrior must go to avatar

#

and TR

#

no if ands or buts

nova marsh
#

And totems are awesome tbh.

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

obviously you can grab shockwave if you want but you are grabbing avatar for sure

modest marlin
#

Avatar is seen as the warrior cd going back to war 3 and I don't think they'll ever want to go away from that

molten crane
#

M igara, is your sweeping strikes wide enough to hit the spears if you're targeting igara?

nova marsh
#

With how required Avatar is, I honestly think there's a fair argument for it being baseline

shadow ibex
#

i dont have a problem with that. i have a problem with it being capstone so all 3 specs only really have 1 choice to pair it with

molten crane
#

what about your 4pc proc

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

every warrior spec is avatar + something else. 90% of time avatar + TR

smoky kayak
#

but I don't think they'll move away from it, no, nor do I think they need to

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

iirc fury ran spear for some time in s1

nova marsh
#

Imagine if they just make avatar into wings with execute access

smoky kayak
#

fury ran spear for some time in all seasons

modest marlin
#

Isn't spear still in the raid build for fury?

nova marsh
#

yes

fresh tide
#

I feel like AM should be in the class tree, that's just nitpicking though

#

like it doesn't make sense to have one ability in all 3 spec trees

shadow ibex
#

that to me is biggest argument for it to be in class yea

#

and it just feels good

modest marlin
#

Prot and Arms have talents that scale roar's bleed which is why they can't really go away from it.

shadow ibex
#

if we're tuned around it it doesnt matter

#

just feeling good is enough

rare kite
smoky kayak
nova marsh
#

I mean this is literally the internet

rare kite
#

could be insanely good and someone would not like it

nova marsh
#

Half the people are complaining about smth

smoky kayak
rare kite
#

Avatar of all things, interesting ability to complain about

modest marlin
#

If anything avatar should make us even bigger. I wanna feel like Muradin in HotS

smoky kayak
#

I think it does, just slightly

nova marsh
#

Yeah it does

modest marlin
#

I meant more. Muradin's avatar doubles his size I think

smoky kayak
#

I like the idea of Colossus' increased character size being tied to Colossal Might stacks - like +2% size per stack

abstract creek
#

I want to be as big as that one random anima power toy makes you

smoky kayak
#

So you grow while you build power and then demolish and shrink back down

abstract creek
#

Just all the time

modest marlin
#

So far I'm not mad at hero talents. Diabolist and Frostfire win at this point for me, but it's definitely easier to design trees for pure dps

hexed saddle
#

those trees own

modest marlin
#

I'm not super keen on them but they're not bad. It's just hard to top Frostfire and moar demons!

shadow ibex
#

i like most of colossus

modest marlin
#

I've wanted Frostfire back for years now.

shadow ibex
#

the stacks = CDR at max is smart

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

making stacks increase dmg of other things is good. more stacks on crit is nice since we historically love that stat anyway

hexed saddle
shadow ibex
#

just the root and the +5% dmg on cleave/shockwave vs 20% bleed dmg

hexed saddle
#

they really nailed design for pally (exluding lightsmith)

smoky kayak
#

Colossus could also be p good with some polish tbh

hexed saddle
#

agreed

shadow ibex
#

redo the +MS/shield slam dmg to something exciting

smoky kayak
#

the root thing... eh, I don't think it needs to exist, but if its hasted I think that's kind of a nothing burger

shadow ibex
#

make the defensive node give us a DR during the channel

modest marlin
#

I just want all the trees to be out before alpha so there's a chance all of them get at least one look over before beta locks them in more.

shadow ibex
#

and i'd be p content

hexed saddle
shadow ibex
#

im a crit dam fiend

#

i see it i dont care

#

i just want it all

fresh tide
#

big crit big dam yep

hexed saddle
#

crit dam isnt really all that good if you dont get crit alongside it

snow flame
shadow ibex
#

its actually my favorite node

hexed saddle
#

crit dam always sounds cool

snow flame
#

if what they said today is true the 2 seocnd cast aside the playstyle could be cool

hexed saddle
#

until u dont crit

#

and its bad

shadow ibex
snow flame
#

if it actually does dmg like they said it would

shadow ibex
modest marlin
#

Another tree I do like is the moon druid, only cause I feel like you can really tell a difference between moon and treants at least.

nova marsh
#

It'll do BS damage

shadow ibex
#

i wanna know how hard they think it should hit for sure

#

30-40 secs between casts

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

but also they said it hits hard

#

its fairly frequent

modest marlin
#

They can nerf it for pvp if need be. Let it chunk in PvE.

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

just raises more questions

#

how does war burst aoe look with this + bladestorm

smoky kayak
#

more curious about how the rotation looks than the damage

nova marsh
#

Honestly demo with BS....sounds horrid

smoky kayak
#

cause yeah, channel into channel is weird

nova marsh
#

Like you'd spend so much time doing channels

shadow ibex
#

are we the loss of control spec?

#

is that something they thought about

#

"oh yea btw this spec can also get this other fairly long loss of control effect, think this is too much"

snow flame
#

they said we're suppose to be the spec tha tis feared

nova marsh
#

Arms shoulodn't play the game keks

#

We're gonna become a spec that plays itself

shadow ibex
#

at the very least just for player enjoyment i think we could get the ability to use kick at least during these channels

modest marlin
#

That's why demolish should be a 3 press short gcd combo haha. Keeps us feeling like we're playing

shadow ibex
#

or just give me disrupting shout

modest marlin
#

Sonically it better sound satisfying as hell.

shadow ibex
#

make defensive node give us a decent damage reduction during channel, change one against many or arterial cut to one additional attack during demolish

#

and im p happy with it

#

i dont feel strongly about the bleed or cleave increase but i think having both are dumb. make either one into demolish is now 4 attacks for ST and other can be aoe

smoky kayak
#

FWIW, there's nothing inherently wrong with Colossus not incentivizing Bladestorm builds (or vice/versa) either

#

but that's also presuming that Bladestorm builds, as we know them, persist into TWW as well

gaunt owl
#

if Demolish is like Eye Beam or Fists of Fury its gonna be hasted

smoky kayak
#

we can hope

#

and if it is, the root is fine tbh

gaunt owl
#

the 2 seconds they talk about will make it like lego usage right now

#

so a 2 GCD give or take

shadow ibex
#

my lego is 2.1 seconds

smoky kayak
#

It'd be ~1.3-1.5s under normal conditions

gaunt owl
#

alpha waiting room it is

shadow ibex
#

at like 42/41% haste idr

#

not in game

smoky kayak
#

maybe a lil less early in the expac

#

50% haste is 2s for Fyr'alath

#

1.3s for a 2s channel

modest marlin
#

If prot stays loving haste that'd feel feel good.

#

I worry how the animation will feel on protection

smoky kayak
#

we don't even know what the animation looks like yet lol

shadow ibex
#

they said the first 2 hits knock enemy off balance and third is overhead ground quaking

smoky kayak
#

but most animations are also hasted now

gaunt owl
#

its great news they dont boringly just recycle fyralakk on use

neon ocean
#

it sounds fun but I'm more excited about what they haven't shown yet

#

being the announced talent rework

#

they claim demolish is gonna hit pretty hard and its on a low CD so that is kinda nice for damage profile

#

since it's also splash 8 yd off main

modest marlin
#

I wouldn't expect that much. I think they're just removing the damage buffs to a CC ability and moving it up the tree. Maybe cut the passive in front of it too

#

Most class trees have 3 capstone branches anyways.

shadow ibex
#

im still pretty suspicious of it

modest marlin
shadow ibex
#

right now you'd probably be able to fit one inside every single CS cast, 35 second CD while colossus has 24-22 but lasts 13 seconds

#

do you think an ability that could be cast within every CS window hit hard? i am a bit skeptical but also why i want to know what they think is a good % of AP. should it hit as hard as bladestorm for example

dire hinge
#

at least its not underpowered gladge

#

then the name wouldn't make sense

shadow ibex
#

also also, our spec tree needs a node that puts OP on our autos

#

now we're cooking

#

just like anni/devastator

smoky kayak
#

Crusader Strikes -> Overpowering Strikes

dire hinge
#

make downtime doubly painful

smoky kayak
#

TBH Crusader Strikes is just Annihilator 2.0

hazy flower
#

and finally

shadow ibex
hazy flower
#

not being dependable on wf

shadow ibex
#

with autos giving chance to gen rage/reset MS

#

downtime cant be that bad

dire hinge
#

i still want that sweet, sweet Mortal Strike -> Mortal Combo ngl

shadow ibex
#

and now u can spend rage

#

cuz ur OP isnt ruling ur GCD life

neon ocean
#

doesn't work with WF

nova marsh
#

Crusading strikes is just horrible

#

I hate it

modest marlin
#

I like it...

#

Rotation still feels bursty to me with something to almost always be pressing

nova marsh
#

To me it just feels worse compared to how fluid temp strikes feels

modest marlin
#

Temp strikes almost feels too rigid

shadow ibex
#

talents that put an ability on your auto attack

#

no time to press filler

#

only time to kill

smoky kayak
halcyon breach
#

WF is fun when you have it, not fun when you don't have it

#

And being reliant on another class to be the most optimal is not funny

shadow ibex
#

currently in fyrak jail

#

havent had a WFT since...larodar?

nova marsh
#

No I don't want to be dependant on WFT

shadow ibex
#

enhance players the most flakiest players on earth. every one just stops showing up to raid at some point

fresh tide
#

TRUE

smoky kayak
#

also Arms right now isn't dependent on WF 😆

shadow ibex
#

idk what it is man

nova marsh
shadow ibex
#

something they put in the water over in the maelstorm

smoky kayak
#

but you can't have everything so idk

shadow ibex
#

every enh shaman just stops logging in one day

halcyon breach
nova marsh
#

Ele shamans don'ty exist

steep osprey
#

Are you still playing LE banezi

halcyon breach
#

no

#

Lack of endgame means I wait to degen it

steep osprey
#

Why not if I may ask

#

It kind of has an endgame

halcyon breach
#

That's like saying D3 has endgame if all it was is rifts without greater rifts

steep osprey
#

Isn’t corruption infinite? So you just keep going harder and getting better gear ?

#

I don’t know

neon ocean
#

make enhance a raid buff tbh not a party buff

#

or remove perhaps

#

windfury*

shadow ibex
#

give it to me

#

how bout that

nova marsh
#

It should just be a raid buff

halcyon breach
#

Infinite scaling endgame is not good

#

(look at M+ =))

nova marsh
#

Examples: warframe and M+

#

...Mostly M+ tbh

shadow ibex
#

i think it makes sense for aRPG

#

idk what other end game is possible in one frankly if the player doesnt want to make an alt

halcyon breach
#

PoE's endgame is great without relying on infinite scaling

steep osprey
#

I did stop too, endgame was kind of repetitive, and I had fps performance issues that were unplayable

steep osprey
halcyon breach
#

You have very many avenues on how you want to gear, some with specific gear if you need it, depending on what kind of gameplay you like the most

neon ocean
#

there are bosses you can fight that actually put your crazy gear to the test also

halcyon breach
#

And you're able to set clear goals, such as clearing the Uber pinnacle bosses, reaching a specific depth in the Delve mechanic (if you're a psycho)

neon ocean
#

it's not just gearing for the sake of gearing

halcyon breach
#

Build a specific omega high end build with no budget restraints

steep osprey
#

PoE is way too overwhelming for me

halcyon breach
#

However it's also unfair to compare the two games, since PoE is 10 years old~ with live service and updates

#

Compared to LE

outer holly
neon ocean
#

Love PoE but I do hope melee in general is due for a glowup

#

now that poe2 is confirmed to be its own separate game

#

it's not completely bad or anything but there are way less winners in the melee skill pool

modest marlin
#

I'm not against m+ scaling. I feel most relevant rewards stop early enough

neon ocean
#

not to mention melee has a lower floor and its ceiling is harder to reach (poe stuff, I'll stop offtopic keksquad)

modest marlin
#

They really do need to stop trying to increase the key level rewards cap at, they just end up nerfing them anyways

hazy flower
#

@latent moss

modest marlin
#

15s in BfA felt harder than 18-20s do now.

dire hinge
#

i was also bad back then

rare kite
nova marsh
#

I think it's skill reletive

#

and the more we play wow the better we get at it

fresh tide
#

I think they've nerfed either fortified or tyranical every expansion, so it's possible keys might be slightly easier now because of that

#

but also maybe they tuned the base numbers with that expectation

nova marsh
#

yet more proof fort and tyr should be removed LMAO

hazy flower
#

ignore pain doesnt scale from vers right

#

just from hp

fresh tide

vers isn't mentioned in the wowhead tooltip so I'm thinking no

shadow ibex
#

absorb value is based off max health yea

hazy flower
#

how do I calculate the first absorb then?

#

max is 30% hp

#

but it's not 10% 10% 10%

#

as in I could divide what I get by my hp but I'm curious about the formula behind

#

since at 903,6k hp I'm getting 102k absorb

#

idk if I'm missing something very obvious here

fresh tide
#

I think it's just 3 casts

#

to cap

hazy flower
#

yes its 3 casts to cap

#

but you will never have 3 casts

#

maybe on super duper high tyrannical key like 31 ad

shadow ibex
#

you need to use it on CD

hazy flower
#

yeah sure I know

shadow ibex
#

and yea take 0 dmg for the cooldown duration

hazy flower
#

I'm just trying to understand

#

the first tick of it

#

it's roughly 11% of my hp, which doesnt make sense

modest marlin
#

It might be some the general playerbase getting better, but keys are being pushed higher then ever. A casual weekly key is now like +22. In legion those were much lower.

#

IP is increased by your AP as well

#

It's not only your HP

rare kite
#

i can only think of brh first boss where you'd get to stack ip 3 times

hazy flower
#

is there a specific formula somewhere

#

that I could find

fresh tide
#

it used to be attack power scaled but capped by your hp, but now I think it's hp scaled and capped by your hp

shadow ibex
#

during abberus i think it was AP

halcyon breach
#

Idk testing it now it's jumping between 92-100k

#

With highest amount being with BS active

fresh tide
#

Maybe it's the stupid 5% spell variance thing they added

#

idk if that applies to IP or not

hazy flower
#

it's more than 5%

#

it's 10%

halcyon breach
#

It reliably hits 97k with BS, 91.5k without BS

hazy flower
#

yeah without AP buff I'm only getting 98k

#

whereas with ap buff it's 102k

shadow ibex
hazy flower
#

maybe then each cast stacks with AP whereas max absorb from HP?

#

could that be?

halcyon breach
#

Perhaps, no clue what they did to IP

#

nor where to find the formula for it

hazy flower
#

nvm it still scales off hp

#

the singular "ticks" that is

Hey guys havnt played since season 1 how much has arms changed, if at all?

rare kite
#

answer depends on when in season 1 you stopped playing, before or after 10.05?

brittle lichen
#

towards the end of season 1 so Im assuming after? its when fury switched to the onslought build

rare kite
#

ye ok, so arms is very similar to that then. slam is worth casting in st now and you don't use ignore pain for offensive purposes

dire hinge
nova marsh
#

Just no IP

rare kite
#

there's some execute optimization now as well but that's only with current tier

dire hinge
#

other small stuff that comes to mind:

  • rend is automatically cast via Mortal Strike on targets in execute range
  • rend and overpower both deal more damage
  • battlelord procs give rage back instead of reducing MS's costs 🤔
  • fatal mark lasts a real amount of time (depending on when you quit in season 1)
brittle lichen
#

oh okay neat, I enjoyed fury in season 1 but honestly the bloodthirst build isnt really doing it for me rn might switch back to arms

is there a way to increase the number of buttons on each action bar without addons?

boreal quartz
#

Add another actionbar and out it next to it

#

Center the thing and gg

dire hinge
boreal quartz
#

Just add another bar with say 4 and pretend it's one longer one

dire hinge
#

i'll take 4 action bars and give them 3 buttons each and call it 12

#

Nice clarification post on Colossus but like

#

How they made a hero spec named Colossus without a single Avatar interaction?

dire hinge
#

wdym it makes us 5% larger just like avatar

obtuse copper
#

💀

dire hinge
#

haha

rare kite
#

"but mountain thane got avatar talents"

obtuse copper
#

I imagine they kept it to just 5% so you don't notice a massive diff between specs and have diff sized hitbox for mechanics

#

Probably still gonna look a bit odd when swapping from Slayer and seeing your character shrink/grow

obtuse copper
dire hinge
#

it does put a dumb helmet on your head, but you can override it with the Aquatic Shades and look like a #coolDude instead

#

my dwarf is out here at human height with it

obtuse copper
#

I would assume so?

#

Haven't tested but would be very confusing otherwise

nova marsh
#

RPers in shambles

#

I mean I know different races do

#

Cuz I remeber back in Nighthold I saw a gnome dodge Trillax's lazors

hazy flower
#

So that its fair for all races

nova marsh
#

Actually no

#

I've seen some cases where like lazors have gone over a gnome's head and done zlitch....might've been a bug thou or was changed since legion cuz that'd be kinda stupid

obtuse copper
#

It's not always the case with diff races iirc

#

I remember seeing something on Tindral I think where using noggenfogger to become smaller made a targeted beam thinner

#

sheeesh

#

is there an addon that changes your graphic settings when u enter a dungeon?

#

like it does for raids and bgs

rare kite
#
