latent moss
#

lol grandpaww

gaunt owl
#

i alt tab and let the RP go

#

listening to the best warchief is my jam

latent moss
#

true

latent moss
#

gaunt owl
#

you mean warming the bench

#

nice

nova marsh
#

The bench is the best

bleak fog
#

Just got a new laptop and try to copy my WTF and Interface map over.. They are where they should be but cant find the addon in curse app nor the game

#

Help! ><

gaunt owl
#

Addons are in Interface folder

#

not in WTF

#

so you have to copy that too

bleak fog
#

Yeah

#

those 2

gaunt owl
#

yep

bleak fog
#

did and they are on the same place on the new one... WTF works so bars and stuff are there...

#

No addons ><

#

Cant sync in the curseapp either

gaunt owl
#

are you sure curseapp is looking at the right place ?

#

and that you enabled the addon ingame ?

bleak fog
#

I dont even have the addontab in game as no addon is there 😄

#

Curse found wow but not the addonmap

#

Installed a new addon and it put itself on the same place as all the other

smoky kayak
#

if you install your addons manually, then they should be under interface -> addons; idk how the auto-curse stuff does it

#

sounds like some kinda missing path though

bleak fog
#

Found a way to sync it now

#

But now... Bnet is fucked 😄

#

Bnet works for you guys?

#

Im online and see all the games, but its the screen in midle that wont load

gaunt owl
#

it do be broken

bleak fog
#

FOr you aswell?

gaunt owl
#

yes

edgy raft
#

Can anyone tell Me why arms suddenly sims so much higher than fury now?
I sim 243,5k as fury and 249,9 as arms in 5min (not same gear/stats

fallen tusk
#

Arms is just built different

#

for real tho i just came to ask if Battle net is broken for anyone else?

smoky kayak
misty bridge
fallen tusk
#

doesn't look like maintenance

smoky kayak
#

mine works, so it might be regional

bronze sand
#

does Thunder Clap still take priority over Slam if theres nothing else to press and Rend is still fresh?

gaunt owl
#

season is over

#

and that question is confusing kinda

#

if you mean for S3

#

you dont need to Tclap

reef mauve
bronze sand
#

yeah I just jumped back in after a while so I dont have any tier bonuses

gaunt owl
#

you only Tclap to refresh rend without tier set now

#

next season you can go the full Tclap once again

reef mauve
#

Give them the tclap

gaunt owl
#

Arms > Fury

#

always been this way

reef mauve
#

Gonna miss tclap crit ting for 200k

fallen tusk
#

i skipped season 3 no idea what this is about

#

but it sounds fun

ionic flare
#

I'm returning to Arms for next season because of how much I hate the Fury tier set and oh boy I've been missing these big hits and actual execute phases

somber lance
#

in keys if i want to get used to playing arms, should i run double BS build? is that the easiest?

reef mauve
#

Single bladestorm is truth

obsidian topaz
#

Few questions - when im in mass AOE and my current target is in execute range, so I just ignore it and go about regular AOE rotation? Does have SS up change that at all?

#

not talking Sudden Death proc - that obviously goes first

smoky kayak
#

SS affects the target breakpoints, but the real question is how badly you wanna kill that target vs just doing raw damage

obsidian topaz
#

lets say all the targets are equal in value anyway

#

so I guess I'd be going about regular rotation for AOE then

#

do I bother with BS in Single target in keys?

reef mauve
#

Tbf if you are executing one target your are executing another target and it kinda Cascades down in my experience

obsidian topaz
#

how much do I play around Executioners Precision below 35%? Currently I'm spamming execute until I dip below 40 rage, then I overpower. once I hit 2 stacks of matrial prowess I MS

#

should i be sending MS every 2 executes regardless?

reef mauve
#

St or AOE? In cooldowns or out?

obsidian topaz
#

and i guess outside of CDs as I wont really be blowing Avatar when bosses are below 35% HP in keys

#

but im curious about both

gaunt owl
#

you are doing it right

#

but you dont know why

#

its ok !

reef mauve
#

So you're not specced into Tom for this question yeah?

gaunt owl
#

normally its 2 EP then MS

obsidian topaz
#

just because it takes like 6 executes to drop below 40 rage

gaunt owl
#

if you talk about this you read wrong

obsidian topaz
#

lol thats what i was talking about ya

gaunt owl
#

you are stuck on number 4

abstract verge
#

Guys you having prob to log in the gamec

gaunt owl
#

but thats specifically for SD procs

abstract verge
#

?

obsidian topaz
#

im confused

abstract verge
#

EU server seems fucked up

hazy flower
gaunt owl
#

yep server ded

hazy flower
#

read what it does and read your tier set

#

you'll understand why it's this high

abstract verge
#

Sorry for the offtopic

obsidian topaz
#

I know why SD is high

abstract verge
#

I know its a small indie company so could happens

obsidian topaz
#

Im talking about regular Execute vs sending MS at 2 stacks of executioners precision

hazy flower
#

you're sending MS at x2 OP stacks and x2 EP stacks

#

or if its tom + cs overlap you send at x1 OP and x2 EP stacks

#

otherwise spam execute

gaunt owl
#

undo the Execute Curse

#

right now

hazy flower
#

wait 3 weeks

#

ppaw

obsidian topaz
#

ah thank you

gaunt owl
#

time to drill people into the right gameplay

obsidian topaz
#

ya just saw it

gaunt owl
#

NO @hazy flower

obsidian topaz
#

so MS at 2 stacks of executioners precision even if im not at 2 stacks of overpower

gaunt owl
#

it is a priority

gaunt owl
#

yepo

obsidian topaz
#

lol you two

#

hahah

hazy flower
#

not right now

gaunt owl
#

dont listen to @hazy flower

#

he sux

hazy flower
#

zx

reef mauve
#

I hate how the tier fucks up my test of might when it procs back to back in cs

gaunt owl
#

it do be like that sometimes

#

having 2 source of trigger for SD do this

obsidian topaz
#

ok now outside of execute range, do I ever want to send MS without 2 oP stacks?

gaunt owl
#

you MS on CD

obsidian topaz
#

like if OP is on CD or something?

hazy flower
#

yes in st ms on cd

#

above exe

#

why are u still guildless

main creek
#

Yoo, i've made a simple weakaura that handles stacks of Overpower and Executionners precision on mortal strike.
I've had the idea of using the crafting tier quality symbols to handle how many stacks I have.
tier 1 : 1 overpower stacks
tier 2 : 2 overpower stacks
tier 3 : one executionner precision stack on target
tier 4 : two executionner precision stack on target
tier 5 : two ep stacks and 1 overpower stack

obsidian topaz
boreal quartz
#

Cool idea though

smoky kayak
#

might be worth hanging onto for a later time though

main creek
gaunt owl
main creek
gaunt owl
#

its worth using MS with SS up to 8 target

boreal quartz
reef mauve
#

Who is ready to cleave?

main creek
boreal quartz
#

As the spam execute is gone

#

The ms with 2ep/2op> exe>op thing

dire hinge
#

the use of the crafting icons is really neat though, visually it feels more related to the WoW UI and that's spiffy

#

smort

lucid nest
#

Have you problem with the game?

ornate eagle
shadow ibex
#

Can't wait for s1 bonus peepohide

#

Buff cleave so we can have some cursed tech where it >slam as an ST rage dump

#

That would complete the DF experience

quasi torrent
#

it is the better button to press

dire hinge
#

haha, it certainly would put some weight back into Exhilirating Blows

shadow ibex
#

That's the big problem

quasi torrent
#

sims better

shadow ibex
#

Gross

latent moss
#

prowess

#

then u tc

smoky kayak
nova marsh
#

So

#

Does the bs tech still work

#

For the axe?

dire hinge
#

just tested and yes, it does. You just have to be far enough away from the group to cast Avatar mid-fyr'alath jump

#

you'd want to charge->clap first to get Lego dots on your targets though

obsidian topaz
#

what can I give up to take shockwave?

#

I feel so useless without it

nova marsh
#

Give up uproar

#

And a point in cruel strikes irrc

dire hinge
#

you can take it by all means, but it's a very short stun that does contribute to global Diminishing Returns for other specs and their better stuns.

You can give up Cruel Strikes + Uproar to reach it yeah

obsidian topaz
#

idk I feel like only having storm bolt isnt enough

nova marsh
#

That's okay

obsidian topaz
#

plus now it always aligns with avatar

nova marsh
#

It's about a .5-1% loss

#

And that's from sims, uproar is highly tank dependant to get actual value out of

dire hinge
nova marsh
#

Time for the first keys with the lego

dire hinge
#

woo! good luck!

#

remember to hit everything in the pack before using it (clap, whirlwind, etc)

#

i goofed that one real hard the first few keys

nova marsh
#

Do we send normal burst first in keys?

dire hinge
#

I usually do burst afterwards since it's a very brief cast

#

due to the mismatched timings (2min vs 1.5min vs 1min, etc), it'll end up just kinda be used throughout packs either to polish them off or to open with, depending on what you have available

#

it doesn't benefit from Warbreaker/Avatar/etc, so i prefer using it early in the pack just so it's not eating empowered gcds during the other cooldowns

nova marsh
#

I usually assume items never benefit from CDs

visual fern
#

Surely it's an OP CLAP OP angle

sacred zodiac
#

hello garmer

visual fern

Hello spongerman

#

big faner

obsidian topaz
#

wait why is roar so much more damage on arms vs fury

dire hinge
#

We have increased bleed damage talents, which includes roar

#

Also a talent which extends Roar’s bleed duration

obsidian topaz
#

its like my top DPS

zealous sphinx
#

Most people running augury x signet on logs but simc keeps telling me Signet x sandglass ? does that mean sandglass sim is bogus?

dire hinge
#

It does a tremendous amount of damage. Usually it won’t be your top dps, but you might be running lower keys where things are dying before you can do other spells to catch up. It’s usually up there though, like top 5 spells

#

Like, for context, the default duration of Roar is 8 seconds, with the Thunderous Words talent to add another 2sec. So fury’s lasts 10sec.

Arms, specifically, has a talent (Bloodletting) that adds another 6 sec atop that, and then the Bloodborne talent amps it’s damage by 7.5-15% further.

#

So 60% longer duration doing upwards of 15% more dps throughout per tick

#

Big uncapped damage

shadow ibex
#

Armor ignoring dam go brr

nova marsh
#

roar fucks

#

Tbh Troar is much better then Dragon roar imo

#

It's so much cooler

dire hinge
#

Slam poetry, if you will

opal folio
#

Thunderous makes more sense thematically

#

You yell, eardrums burst and bleed

#

Dragon roar felt out of place

dire hinge
#

Scream so loud it makes inanimate objects bleed 👌

nova marsh
#

Dragon roar was a fun idea

#

It just felt so weak, and the fact that it was a primarily ST ability was so....odd

#

Also arms getting it was such a good move

#

I honestly think Troar becoming what it is now is one of the best things from DF warrior. So satisfying

latent moss
#

agreed

#

i love troar

#

cool button okayge

shadow ibex
#

What was mop DR? Always crit?

#

I know it had that quarter knock back or whatever

#

Idr if it ignored armor tho

nova marsh
#

Idk what MoP was

#

But in shadowlands it was a 30 sec cd ability that if it crit, it did like 4 times the damage

#

Same for bfa too irrc

shadow ibex
#

It either always crit or ignored armor it was somewhat special

#

But not a huge amazing button

nova marsh
#

Troar as is feels like a highlight of the whole rotation

#

And it's even useful in raids with adds so arms can try to pad a lil

shadow ibex
#

Take away the rage gen and add more DMG

nova marsh
#

Troar is perfect to me as is

shadow ibex
#

I don't want any of my buttons value budget to be caught up in genning rage in this economy

#

Remove rage from avatar make it 30% more not 20 xan

#

Remove rage from SkS make it hit for 300% AP

smoky kayak
#

So you can't channel puzzlebox during fy'ralath anymore 😦

nova marsh
#

I'm okay with that

#

Doing two channels DOES sound a little silly tbh

#

Sad thou

smoky kayak
# dire hinge

it's a little fast to notice, but I love the animation btw, how you start spinning mid-air when BS starts

dire hinge
#

Can’t double cast the ranged players would be upset

shadow ibex
#

We still need to start a campaign for bosses to have a chance to resist spells from the front

dire hinge
#

It looks really cool! Also big numbers shoot out of the mobs

shadow ibex
nova marsh
#

na

#

Just make all bosses immune to anything that isn't physical damage

smoky kayak
dire hinge
shadow ibex
#

I want all TWW bosses to have a 10% chance to resist all spells cast in their face

nova marsh
#

then design intense anti meele mechanics that make it borderline unplayable

shadow ibex
#

For texture

nova marsh
#

So hunters are the only viable class

shadow ibex
#

Texture deez

smoky kayak
#

do they make textures that small?

nova marsh
dire hinge
#

Igira turning around to channel her hammer smacks towards ranged, just nullifying so many pryroblasts

shadow ibex
#

Or make fire mobs immune to fire DMG ofc

dire hinge
#

Ran into that in BG3 last night. Wasted a perfectly good 4th level spell slot

shadow ibex
#

Just hit it hard

dire hinge
#

It’s all fun and games until they add something that has phys immunity or heavy reduction

nova marsh
#

If blizz made an immune boss

#

like early wow bosses were

#

Imagine the backlash from the salty as fuck casters

shadow ibex
#

I haven't played in a few months I got to the city gates and stopped

#

Idr what weapon I was using. Playing full fighter with the extra crit threat subclass

#

So many attacks a turn

dire hinge
#

It’s quite fun! My most recent was a monk with Tavern Brawler (unarmed attacks get your Str modifier added twice to them) running around with Hill Giant potions just decking people non stop

shadow ibex
#

i was gonna pick it back up but fucked around and reinstalled sekiro on my day off

#

forgot how cinematic the boss fights are man. when you get those 7 hit parry strings the game is just beautiful

dire hinge
#

Ye Olde exhilarating blows 7 MS strings gladge

dire hinge
#

Excited for Kurog again, less excited to have to go through Sennarth to get there

rare kite
#

sennarth owns as warrior, actually my fav boss in vault

dire hinge
#

Not the hardest boss, but also not fun (for my guild)

shadow ibex
#

senn and terros my beloved

#

hell even council

dire hinge
#

It was unique, I enjoyed it. Just had a lot of mechanical struggles, especially with folks who keyboard turned and really didn’t want to unbind it. (We are a causal group)

rare kite
#

you just slide around,leap intervene and charge shit, there's 2 target cleave and a phase where execute matters the most. it has an actual execute phase

#

such a great boss for arms

dire hinge
#

Since you’d spin indefinitely if you were pressing Rotate Key while stepping onto ice lol

shadow ibex
#

that sounds cursed

rare kite
#

ahahhaha

shadow ibex
#

i had no idea that was a thing

rare kite
#

i did not know that

#

i'm gonna try keyboard turning on sennarth then

dire hinge
#

I think you needed to press the rotate button again, but off-ice, but yeah it was… something

shadow ibex
#

we had a wipe on fyrak during dream rend and our monk was stuck being pulled

#

into the next boss pull

#

he was just perma pulled

dire hinge
#

Hands entirely off keyboard, just spinning non stop at a slow pace

rare kite
#

don't think i've keyboard turned in many many years

#

that's hilarious

dire hinge
#

Yeah most of our raid was like “it sounds like a hardware thing?” Until we narrowed it down to keyboard turners

#

Bc it was only Sennarth. And only when ice puddles spawned at player location

#

If you don’t have the rotate keys bound (or never press them) it’ll never happen to you

#

Anywho; hell yeah council ruled too. Honestly that whole raid tier was quite fun. Terros felt a lot like Smolderon Lite. Entirely timed, scripted, do dance, kill boss, but fun throughout

#

Like a Smolderon/volcoross hybrid

rare kite
#

broodmother snorefest, was on bossduty both our kills...

shadow ibex
#

probably my favorite tier of the expac

#

playing arms felt fun

#

felt like u were doing armsy things

dire hinge
#

Lots of two-target throughout

shadow ibex
#

minus sks not working on absorb shield

rare kite
#

i only played sks on terros, 10.05 mini rework came after that

dire hinge
#

A friend of mine is learning arms and was like, “do we ever take shattering throw?”, and the good news is we will soon*

*for a single fight, once every 3 weeks

rare kite
#

shattering throw? you mean wrecking throw? there are no immunities to use it for

dire hinge
#

Yeah sorry that one

#

The throw talent names are noooot in my brain much these days

wind flicker
#

Shattering is good for PVP tho

rare kite
#

ye

wind flicker
#

Breaks ice block / bubble and idk some other stuff

rare kite
#

turtle

shadow ibex
#

warlock absorb

#

it hits hard into

#

but you'd have to talent it vs a lock comp and unless they had pally healer probably better options

rare kite
#

wrecking throw that is

nova marsh
#

So

#

Does anyone know how to get details to seperate the mark and the on use of the lego?

#

Mine keeps combinging them and showing off the lego as 10% of my damage?

wind flicker
#

Weirdly enough, on PTR it splits it for me. But on the maingame it doesnt

nova marsh
#

Yeah like

#

I'm really confused as to why it's both listed as the mark.

#

Very hard to gauge what's doing what

snow flame
#

@hexed saddle Next forum post is gonna be about ToM

#

We are gonna start fixing warrior right now!

frigid lava
#

+8 away from 3k io... so close

nova marsh
#

Honestly...kinda like the lego

#

This thing in keys feels like a monster

frigid lava
#

It's like 10+% dps bump...

#

what's BTM in M+

rare kite
#

break the meta, think alot of the requirement is just how popular the spec is. hence why destro lock is allowed there even being insanely good in m+

latent moss
nova marsh
#

I do

#

Whenever I pop Roar

#

And I switched to BS so it's neat

sudden fractal
#

updated guide soon or not for a few weeks?

dire hinge
#

they're usually updated closer to the content release, probably a week or two away

tranquil hatch
#

whats the best way to use the leggo? just run in and ww then pop it, then pop cds?

waxen quail
#

I use it when I'm not buffed by anything other than Bloodlust. Or If I know there's a pull I can consume a lot of dots lol

dire hinge
grizzled brook
#

yo, with our tier set for s4

#

we use cleave again to help keep up the buff right?

boreal quartz
#

Yea

grizzled brook
#

also so one thing im still alittle lost on with arms, are we holding cds to get them back with avatar? or are we using collosus smash bladestorm and roar on cd

hazy flower
#

On cd

boreal quartz
#

It's usually stuff like tindral root spawns youd hold wb for

grizzled brook
#

does anyone have a weak aura to track sudden death procs

#

bc i keep missing them

boreal quartz
#

You can build one through presets

#

Icons > buffs > sudden death

#

Then maybe add a glow and ur done

#

I personally went to into "actions" and added a sound on "show"

strange perch
#

do you charge+thunderous roar on pull then press all my modifiers?

boreal quartz
#

In st ye

grizzled brook
#

so i was hitting the cleave dummies in valdrakken for like 10 minutes, can someone tell me if im doing shit wrong here

hazy flower
#

Are u playing fob

#

Whirlwind is very high

grizzled brook
#

lemme check

#

this is the build im playing i copy'd it off wowhead i think

#

or from someone in here i cant remember lmao

hazy flower
#

Whirlwind is surprisingly high then

grizzled brook
#

im just using it on cd basically

hazy flower
#

I dont onow how much it does in my overall but not 10%

#

But rest looks +/- okay

grizzled brook
#

i got another question for yall too

#

its about execute phase on st

#

do we do execute x2 then mortal strike?

boreal quartz
#

It's 3 gcds between ms

#

2 should be exe

#

3rd is op or exe depends on rage

grizzled brook

I did, but I feel like my damage is lower now

boreal quartz
#

HC one you can be on the fence about but mythic one is just turbobis

boreal quartz
#

But then you have say fyrakk p1 where it does 34k dps and you feel like the best player in the world

#

For a mythic one i think you assume around 14k overall dps on st to be avg luck (HC one you go for 12 but mythic one eludes me rn)

why did we vote for s1 to be the tier bonus for this upcoming season?

gaunt owl
#

You wanted more of shitty s3 rng fiesta ?

exotic kestrel
#

s1 slaps

proud plover
#

S1 allowed a few different builds to shine

#

But it won't be s1 build cause sks changes, no ip spend for tom and buffs to op/slam

Arm good yet?

gaunt owl

Come back when TWW

gaunt owl
#

Give me Alpha blazzore plz

proud plover
#

Press ms inside cs+avatar+tom window overlap after opx2 epx2 for big number

gaunt owl
#

I did a 1.4m MS like this

#

Now i regret my decision to aim for it

#

Reminded me of a better time

#

When Arms wasnt a pile of poopoo

sullen delta
#

Hey! Quite new to arms and want to understand the rotation a bit better. When I am on full rage, but mortal strike and whirlwind is on cd, should I prioritize using slam to spend rage, or overpower?

hazy flower
#

Overpower>ww

#

You dont look at rage bar

#

Its cosmetic

sullen delta
#

lol

#

wait is it even above whirlwind?

hazy flower
#

Yes

sullen delta
#

on wowhead it says opposite :/

hazy flower
#

Can u screenshot it

sullen delta
hazy flower
#

Probably outdated

#

@smoky kayak

exotic kestrel
#

wait what

#

were still aiming to get 2 whirlwinds in CS right

hazy flower
#

Its a minor dps increase

#

To hold ww if cd on cs is <7

exotic kestrel
#

Man i wish ToM was dead sadge

hazy flower
#

So I wouldnt worry about it

#

More detrimental than helpful

sullen delta
#

but is the rest of that prio list correct?

hazy flower
#

P much

exotic kestrel
#

ive honestly not been whirlwinding outside of CS at all.

sullen delta
#

bcs on wowanalyzer it says that overpower is like prio 1 if u have 2 stacks

misty bridge
#

you want to WW outside for the cdr from AM

sullen delta
#

so just wondering which is correct

misty bridge
#

Wowanalyzer isn't updated either for arms last time I checked

sullen delta
#

wait so just gona try to understand: Am i supposed to whirlwind > overpower or not? :D

misty bridge
#

During CS (with TOM) you WW > OP

#

Outside CS it's OP > WW

sullen delta
#

ah makes sense

#

thx

#

and just basically only press slam when there is nothing else to press?

misty bridge
#

Yeah

sullen delta
#

Great, thank you!

Another question if ok. In the m+ build where you have bladestorm with avatar, how do you use that in single target? Is it still a high priority, and do you ever press bladestorm in single target when you play In For the Kill instead of ToM?

#

Any early S4 ST sims just for making up my mind ?

halcyon breach
#

They're still being worked on

#

But outside of potential tuning, it should be accurate to what it'll look like in S4

#

Arms is looking very good going into S4, so it wouldn't be entirely unprecedented if it gets nerfed a bit

gaunt owl
#

If we get nerfed because of this after they buff the tier set

#

Im gonna sandbag forever

How bad is losing SoA and puting the point into reaping?

gaunt owl
#

I can probably put 100 target to make it look bigger

proud plover
#

that looks like soa/imp ss to me

gaunt owl
#

Compare WW number

#

SoA got 2 more casts and dmg is diff is big 3m

#

WW is exactly what we need

#

Big rage dumping big dmg

wind flicker
proud plover
#

i mean imp ss is always better for cleave if things live and soa better for st execute phase - look at slam in both tho...124 damage for zero casts looks suss

gaunt owl
#

Because 10k iteration do this

proud plover
#

dn also hit 20 times more with imp ss

gaunt owl
#

I would still recommend SoA

#

As its not a big loss for AOE

wind flicker
#

ISS in Ruby tho

proud plover
#

depends on key level imo, if packs last for a full imp ss its great

gaunt owl
#

If you compare with dslice SoA value skyrocket

wind flicker
#

We're already playing SoA over ISS in current tier, don't see how that will magically change tbh

halcyon breach
#

It'd likely change on a per-dungeon basis which you use

#

ISS as you mentioned in Ruby, but likely also in Brackenhide at least for first boss value

wind flicker
#

Nah brackenhide i don't see how you'd ever play ISS tbh

#

The only value you get is on first boss, thats it

gaunt owl
#

Lets agree to disagree

#

I recommend SoA for more ST

halcyon breach
#

I'll personally just play SoA regardless since feelwise it's better during Execute 🤷‍♂️

gaunt owl
#

But more AoE can be required

halcyon breach
#

And it works in both ST and AoE

#

Even if a dungeon ends up being slightly ahead with ISS

gaunt owl
#

Good CD and pull is whats gonna do the diff anyway

quasi torrent
#

don't you need ISS for last boss to get SS on both totems?

daring heron
#

I've been doing SoA everywhere tbh for more ST/prio w/o much aoe loss

#

but if anda is right about brack last boss totems i might go imp sweep there

#

was fury season so didnt play arms there

proud plover
#

rage gen in execute from soa is going to be big

#

and the extra crit from tier

#

just all plays well

quasi torrent
halcyon breach
#

I didn't really play in S2, but how important was cleave on hyena boss

daring heron
#

not really important

quasi torrent
#

if u bait traps correctly

#

literally 0

halcyon breach
#

fair fair

hazy flower
#

I did some sims and the higher the targwt count the lower the gap between imp ss and soa

#

And soa is ahead in st

#

Imp ss definitely feels nicer to play but for now im sticking with soa in every dungeon both weeks

omg arms is so squishy

#

is there anything I'm missing? Ive got spell reflect, Ignore Pain, def stance

#

is there a list of parry mechanics in keys?

halcyon breach
#

Arms is squishier* than Fury

#

But it's still tanky

obsidian topaz
#

oh I guess parry is 30% DR

halcyon breach
#

yes

#

Fury also have near permanent 10% DR to everything from Warpaint as long as they're enraged, compared to Arms only having permanent 10% avoidance

daring heron
#

more health too

halcyon breach
#

On top of a smaller health pool, and typically not as high vers as Fury has

#

You just gotta be more preemptive with your personal use as Arms, compared to Fury

daring heron

I was thinking of mainswapping back to warrior this season

I swapped off war S2 to go rogue cause of the rework but honestly the Assa rework being almost entirely based on Kingsbane is cringe and ruined the spec for me

I wouldn't base the decision on the state of tuning at this stage

S4 Arms is kinda whackamole, but its a fun playstyle and performing really well (probably overperforming tbh)

I have just been enjoying arms since I learned it in S2 for experiments

would feel shitty getting hit by the nerf bat

when they buff tier set

tier set power is just through the roof

Feels like they looked at how the tier set performed at the time and didn't consider all the other buffs Arms had gotten since then

#

but yes, it was a very big buff to the tier

rare kite

i would have loved watching the SMF shitshow happend

Lmao

So not since I started playing

I started mid S1 SL

smoky kayak

Well SMF didn't exist in Legion, BfA, or SL

dry frost

I see

gaunt owl
#

if it was a tmog option

#

every SMF enjoyer would be happy

#

blizzard just cant find the technology

#

now i want them to remove the Condemn animation tied into Massacre

#

i'm sick of this Obliterate animation repurposed with a red thingy

smoky kayak
#

it's not about tech, Blizz just doesn't wanna do it

#

I've been suggesting the tmog option since MoP/WoD

gaunt owl
#

so 12 years ago ?

#

oh shit

smoky kayak
#

I mean it wasn't as big a deal then, since talents weren't influenced, but it's been a long running thing

gaunt owl
#

you suggest it since the tmog option was introduced then

smoky kayak
#

It kinda went away in legion since blizz just straight up removed SMF, but then returning it in DF brougt the issue back to the fore

smoky kayak
gaunt owl
#

why do i only remember in MoP?

smoky kayak
#

it was toward the end of Cata, DS patch

hazy flower
#

It definitely was in cata

#

I played on privates

#

And they all had it

#

“Blizzlike”

smoky kayak
#

lol "end" you know, introduced in the patch that lasted 64 years deadge

#

as I recall, there wasn't much of a fight about 1h vs 2h in MoP or WoD, but a big stink was made at the start of Legion development when everything went 2h-only

#

issue kinda died down for awhile, until SL for some reason, there was a new thread every day about it on the official forums

gaunt owl
#

so many weird takes on official forums

#

i watched some posts 2 days ago

#

and i dont really play the same game as some people

hazy flower
#

That made them sim extra 20k

smoky kayak
# gaunt owl make it stronger but how without making it too good ?

like the last time we discussed it, just tweaking the cooldown would probably be enough

and while IP is pretty free right now, there's no gaurantee the rage economy stays this high (for either spec) - in fact, it being so high is a commonly cited issue, so the smart bet is on it being reduced

gaunt owl
#

yeah but i mean how to put more power into Dstance without making it really too stronk ?

#

because its free swapping anyway

smoky kayak
#

DStance is already really strong, the issue is that people just don't like to use it because of the percieved impact of being stuck in DS instead of Battle

#

so adjusting that would seem to be the logical solution

latent moss

#

Either way press it

10% dmg loss even for 5sec is not impactful

dire hinge
#

smoky kayak
# gaunt owl i sandbag

Blizz doesn't base their tuning off sims; especially not early PTR ones - they'll look at them occasionally, but very rarely and usually only to analyze specific issues (like X button has fallen out of the rotation or Y buff is being cancelled)

#

could argue that maybe they should pay more attention to early sims, but they're very aware of the propensity for unrealistic sims (in either direction) to affect things, not to mention that most classes simply don't update at the same rate

gaunt owl
#

time to do the APL of other class just to mess with everybody

smoky kayak
#

lotta people do APL for multiple classes, or at least used to

#

but not every class is as easy as Warrior either, once you start getting into specific DoT timing, it gets way more complicated

gaunt owl
#

yeah i've watched some other APL

#

and they do have some cursed stuff to align and maximize output

smoky kayak
#

Warrior is legit probably the easiest class to do APL for lol, everything is fairly straightforward

#

Pet classes are fucking cursed

dire hinge
#

doesnt feral still have snapshotting too

smoky kayak

I'm not sure... they did for a time

gaunt owl

they still has

assa rogue had snapshotting before their rework in 10.2

gaunt owl
#

we could have snapshotting if our mastery was still a bleed only

smoky kayak
#

game is better off without snapshotting tbh

gaunt owl
#

yeah clearly its not healthy for gameplay

smoky kayak
#

it can be fun in specific situations where it works out in your favor, but it's overall just such a PITA to manage
