Same
even if SF pulled ahead a tiny bit, Arms can use the extra defense
Vers wrists have never let me down, lesssss go.
trust in the wrist
Coming from WW, arms feels like paper to anything that canโt be reflected or parried
as for BSL, I've made my feelings pretty well clear
- it's absolutely an option for people who enjoy the gameplay or sense of accomplishment in managing good uptime
- it does have room to fail, and from all the logs I've looked at, raw uptime definitely does not tell the full story in M+
- it's a very small optimization either way, so just use whatever you like and don't worry about it too hard; if you like BSL, run it. If you don't feel you're a strong enough player/groups or worrying about uptime gets to you, feel free to skip it
Fact๐
U need to actively ip and dstance
When sr works its soooo good though๐คฃ๐คฃ
back to this bit, @clever ore, Ashkandur is definitely an option, though I'm not sure it's really the best option to spend your dinar on
- it sets you back on other purchases, and unless you're incredibly unlucky, you will eventually get the axe
- because most players have the axe, you should have pretty free reign on any weapon drops (competing only with Fury OH, which is probably a dying breed this tier)
- while Ashkandur is the second best weapon, it isn't any higher stats/ilevel than any other regular weapon drop - so what you really need to do is compare the value of the effect to whatever else you would spend your Bullion on (probably Eranog Ring)
SR ranks in the top couple buttons of all time in terms of feel. Its up there with old blade dance dodge
And although I haven't looked specifically at it, I'm pretty certain that the Eranog Ring effect beats Ashkandur's effect, at least on non-humanoid (which is the majority of enemies you'll face) - remember that even without the axe, helm enchants (and SF if you use it) will still proc the ring
So in summation, I would probably just buy the Eranog Ring, put effort into looting literally any weapon over purchasing Ashkandur, and hope the axe drops sooner rather than later
Before 4pc are people playing cleave in dungeons?
I havenโt been but feel like Iโm probably wrong
Based on wowhead write up, cleave build works with s3 and s4 sets
i've been playing it for the change
if you guys were on 3pc right now, with raids finished, would you catalyse for 4th? ๐
now you get 1 per week anyways
i'd try and catalyse the highest track you personally can get from dungeons
well, that's hero right?
if you can do hero dungeons then yes
very solid option, then just re-enchant it with the amirdrassil enchant if you have it
if you have 3 pc and still have a cata charge def no reason NOT to cata a hero track item for 4pc
I guess im used to saving it as before we only got 1 every 2 weeks right?
so saved for myth track cata
totally yeah
Yeah, but this season just rip it
you'll also get a KSM omnitoken next week if you hit 2k (or get AotC again)
the token is hero right?
yeah hero track
honestly, makes sense to cata doesn't it. Thanks, appreciate it.
yeah no worries, there's very little regrets to worry about this season, since with time you'll have everything you want
the right choice is the fun one
:D
yeh, dying to try 4pc, after arms first time in a long time, doing it 3 days on old set.
Yo , can someone explain me please why we should change 4p for 2/2 ?
You don't. As far as I've seen.
if it sims better for single target, or if you're in dungeon content it's fine to 2/2
maybe practise?
if you're done for the week, you might as just wait for the vault tbh; unless you seriously intend to binge M+ or something
Check out the cleave pad in AA tree
for cleave
@nimble basin @dire hinge ty for response
of course! good luck out there this week!
it does alot of aoe
but big risk
i mean you'll kill anything that gets close to you, but you'll be rooted still for 10 seconds, so if the group moves out of your range, or if a deadly mechanic lands on you it's over
Fair, we get another cata next we4ek right? so can always use that on a myth track item from vault anyways no?
Yeah, or use it on whatever you might get next week
totally can yes, if you get myth track item from vault + a natural one dropped you could convert 2 items to tier next week though
I'm just saying if you're not actually doing anything else this week, there's no inherent need to spend the charge
After this week youd only ever use it on myth track right?
so feel like this week is a free hit almost
if you're already full heroic track, probably
oh fair mate
sure
i did it on tuesday and it was totally chill and fine until p3 when someone stood on the tank and instantly wiped the whole group 8min in
๐
its just not worth the hazzle wednesday is garantueed 4p anyways
if i get enough FUCKIN PLATE items that can actually catalyze em ๐ ๐
so far 0
4 weapons 5 trinkets though
haha mood, the only ones i've seen so far were from our normal clear ๐
gonna just spam m+ this weekend
true
hmm where do we wanna put our 2nd embellish
seeing that cloak is sarkisian now
belt ?
or footzies ?
im not using the mastery one cba ,that using shadowflame
man gettin spark i gotta do 3 fuckin chores
wth ๐
neck/wrist is most common, can also put it on a ring or belt
whats the best choice to farm it? since my guild is dead. should i go lfr o find some normal/heroc pugs?
u cant put a neck with shadowfalme ?
no
imma just make feet once i do the chores for a spark
basically yes. You can kill Fyrakk even when they're not empowered for chances at the axe dropping, meaning it's easier than ever to kill normal/heroic at the moment
Have a healer friend and both of you look to joined a group.
The number of people running HF went down since the gear is pretty irrelevant. Healers get pretty instant invites.
looks like if you hover over that bar it shows the ilvls it's testing at, and those haven't been updated yet
can i upgrade a 2h weapon to 522 and next week upgrade legendary with flightstones?
correct!
thanks you!!
you still need to buy the Bullion item, but the only thing you'd "lose" is flighstones basically
is there a link to classic discord here ?
you can find those here:
https://www.wowhead.com/classic/discord-servers#classic-class-discord-servers
thank you
very nice ๐
Guys what spec do u suggest if i get the 4 set? arms over fury?
Arms
asking it in arms channel 
prot
do we still use cleave during SS with new 4pc?
or just MS then and cleave outside of that
on packs
ye was about to say
havent seen a ruby like that in a while
i got it in my bag as well ๐
who even needs 4pc
in alg

sweet baby jesus ๐
If you don't have sweeping strikes up, then Cleave at 3+ targets.
If you have sweeping strikes up, then Cleave at 5+ targets.
It breaks even at 4T, so you can cleave at that target point as well. But could also prio something with MS.
i had my 500k BH ruined today
cuz aug decided hey lets ninjapull a bird and have it social half the dungeon
twice

meanwhile my shammy?
heroic broodkeeper ring, heroic rasza trinket, heroic tier gloves and 1x normal omnitoken
500k with an aug 
Shammy owns
it was quite a special group
xd
Vers still the best stat in AA?
any rotation guide for arms?
Hello, sorry if this has been asked: when do we break 4p last season? 2+2 or just straight replacement when you get the pieces?
Huge
grats on box!
2/2 is fine for m+, but sim for single target based on what gear you have
2/2 simmed net loss for me
Ok good to know thank you
Can you link your build?
with s4 is there an easy way to get helm enchant
Iโve seen people playing double BS in AA but not sure if itโs a bait
By doing the raid
Double bladestorm build has no prio, fun tho. But pad
After we bullion the axe, what will be the crests required to upgrade it? Only wyrms and aspect?
And how many you think?
I believe its 30 wyrm 60 aspect if you already have a 509 in bags, but not 100% sure on that one
If u have 4p u play cleave in m+
should i worry about keeping my s3 4p or ilvl gains more important?
Assuming no weapon already above 502, it'll be 60 wyrms and 90 aspects
pug keys are funny, who needs the new set anyways
Unless it's to replace tier with new tier, keep your set bonus intact
Aight, so keep the 4p until I have full replacement 4p. Check.
Max champ gear still isn't replacing my S3 tier, so that tracks
Personally i dont play with shockwave, but use uproar. But its preference. Especially with vdh being a thing, its just overkill imo
2p2p is fine for m+, should you get it
if you have 420 ilvl set, you can change to 510 pieces, that might make up for the set loss
Cheers fam thanks.
ideally yes
but people are bad at interupting
THis build is with new 4 set tho
Idk if you already have it
he is a shameless 4set enjoyer
Must feel great ๐ข
Is there a suggested build for gearing warriors who don't have any tier yet?
The above posted talent setup but without cleave, and that point put into a 2nd bloodborne point, is what you'd use
correct
Its the same build he send but just 1 point away from cleave, into bloodborne
i enjoy 4 set
Thanks for the help
Un4ch
dont think pugs are informed yet that warrior is good..
never entering a key again...
1.8k score, 505 ilvl, no inv for academy, classic warrior life
ez just have 507 ilvl
First pug key I did I got asked if arms is the play now
And they thought padding on the first boss was amazing damage
In algethar
it sucks when u join an insanely blasting group
and they dont want to stick around for another
double chested 9 brackenhide
this mage was a beast too
Why is cleave kinda low
What dungeon is that and how many casts of cleave did u do?
Looks at your breakdown compared to mine I feel like I'm still doing something wrong lol
you have 4 set?
Nah
@wind flicker
for uld builds kinda weird but its not bad
cleave is basically used as a wounds spread
This is an 8 halls with a lot of wipes cause of the pally
charge
DN damage just goes nutty
Is Arms working better than Fury this season?
its not even close, content creators ruined fury this season
lookin at you jeventes
i voted S3
Ruined how?
they voted S2
Oh ๐
Omg, i'm so dumb; I could've upgraded my weapons b/c it still will save the crest on leggo ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
The gap isn't as big in M+ as it is in raid (ST)
But it's significant in raid
Understandable for M+ just from how good AoE is from Fury, but it's astonishing that Arms is clapping that much harder
Ye, enjoyment is also a factor of course
Is Arms really that much better than Fury?
yes
yes
it sims much higher
arms fucks good this season tbf
I wanna fuck good too, lol
With new 4 pc, do we press Whirlwind on CD in aoe? When you're above 4 targets and in SS, do you still MS?
DPS with S3 4 set and new weapon: 270k dps
DPS with S4 4 set(higher ilvl) and new weapon: 270k
this is for fury
Arms seems to have a lot of nuance in multi-target scenarios
I'm really vibing with arms in keys atm
yeah arms is smacking and DW is doing so much work on higher keys
but I don't like it in raid
Embrace the superior spec.
Wheres the most updated guide for Arms?
wowhead
yes
Lawnmower gameplay
if u dont have 4pc should we just stick with fury
Does arms go break 4set for 2 set?? I dont remember
check the sims
LOL
Do you want to TC > Cleave before going through your cds in the opener with S1 4P?
Or just clap and rip
TClap -> lego -> roar + avatar -> wb -> cleave -> whirlwind (sos) -> bladestorm is what I do.
U'd send one of them without having roar / wb / bs tho
Dont think thats the play
Well mostly without roar / bs since warbreaker cd is giga low anyways
no im saying only use them on avatars
roar alwasy lines up with avatar and when you dont run uproar
With uproar, your bladestorm will allign with roar
Awesome cheers G
this is some bulllllshiiiit
so hypothetically you pull up to like...3-4 mobs...are you pressing cleave or ms...hypothetically of course
Cleave at 3 if sweeping is down. Cleave at 5 if sweeping is up. You mortal strike at 4 or less targets with sweeping.
However, if you want to braindead it... cleave at 4 targets with sweeping. Its a slight loss but you dont have to think about it.
hypothetically..
Also, Archi will update the aoe in the apl. FoB Cleave dream is possible.
Deswind, u really are a FoB believer in every season arent you
damn there's like 0 pugs for fyrakk. are we just stuck doing LFR for the leggo until the raid is awakened?
To be fair. FoB this season works. Only because SD procs in aoe is devalued aka a dead global. Doesn't provide tactician for more OP, and you'll rarely use the EP stack unless you're prio. FoB makes it so every whirlwind resets OP for more dreadnaughts in aoe.
Obviously this really depends on target counts.
But any cleave global is not a fob/cd global
Guys what builds should i use for keys? I saw tons of builds on wowhead someone has tons of aoe but sacrifice of st i dunno how u decide what build you follow?
With s3 set or s4 set?
s4
Well you only cleave at 2 OP stacks anyway
At least in my apl. Would mean you average 12 stack CD
The priority for fob aoe can be simplified to: OP -> Cleave at 2 stacks -> WW. Its a bit nuanced in sims but this covers most of it anyway
i tried the Fob with reping and it feels way worse
i think double BB is really good vs collat
if you run SoA for DN damage
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/tCdGfKu8FUgoBdwgaB746b
Here's a reference sim of FoB + Cleave, vs standard s4 Cleave build for m+.
What the FoB sim ends up liking to do, during sweeping:
Outside of sweeping:
And here is swapping SoA to imp sweeping for the standard build, just to keep it consistent since FoB prefers imp sweeping
Single target for reference as well. So it's a decent tradeoff for boss vs aoe. Swapping back to SoA for standard will widen that gap, too. This is just imp sweeping for both builds.
Essentially trading any gains you would have in single target, for aoe and vice versa. FoB will perform better in consistently big pulls in a practical setting.
Abilities lol
I genuinely think that FoB could work, its just way too much of a headache especially in non coordinated groups to actually do better with it
- key level plays quite a significant role with the build
Thats why you can simplify its priority to OP > Cleave > WW. As long as you cleave at 2 martial prowess stacks and WW for resets you're good.
Ill give it a try with tier next week, but last season when i tried it i cant say i was quite enthusiastic about it
But its heavily aoe focused. You lose equally what you could gain for ST.
Its stronger with MBG too. Dropping the one point in bloodborne
But now you sandbag on every boss
I think you'd have to really like the FoB playstyle to make it worthwhile
Its more of an optimization. No one has to play it, but I had to make it work in sims because who knows who would play it.
That was how i felt last season trying it, i did a few dungeons with it and i just got frustrated every time the routes werent exactly as linked or chains happened or packs died too fast
I didn't mind it last season, but that rotation was super simple; just spam the hell out of WW and work in OP when you were rage starved
There is no worse feeling than a pack dieing before your big hit
Depending on time between pulls though you could just bank that big hit
But it felt quite boring to play at least that was my opinion
I salute you putting in the time and effort to optimise it in the sims though
I suppose this iteration is a bit harder to learn. But, if you can get rid of the idea of ww spamming and instead think of WW as filler then I don't think its that bad.
It'll be good in like brackenhide with decent size pulls
Maybe academy
I dont pretend to know a lot of the FoB cooks, but wasnt a major thing about it being you sacrificing your prio damage
Priority damage in aoe as fob isnt that low. Since you slam your prio target
Its not as high as s3 because you SD execute
Yes but, slam vs MS is quite a decent gap
Yeah for sure. But you can make those calls yourself if needed anyway. The actual difference is just no SD procs anyway
Fair
Can someone spit out some quick Stat prios/soft caps?
General rule is crit/haste
Best to sim though
what are you on about
The sim comment is accurate though, don't worry about soft caps, the sims will point you towards different stats as you approach them, and anything beyond that it's just sort of napkin math
Juggernaut build is getting higher DSlice sim than Bladestorm? Dam
it has always oversimmed in dlsice
dslice*
I should maybe try it for m+, since pugs struggle more in bosses anyway
What level can the legendary axe be upgraded to next week?
after 522 you dont need wyrm crests for things anymore right?
it would be aspect crests and flightstones right?
Do we drop Cruel strike or uproar to take the stam talent?
weird its saying we need aspect crests for 2 upgrades was that how it always was ?
Cruel strike
โค๏ธ
it wasnt, but thats how its been in past patches so they fixed it following the precedent set by previous patches
ah but weapons didnt
because I only spent wyrms to upgrade my 2h
I still have 60 aspect and spent 60 aspect on crafted...
yes nothing did until they fixed the hero track to act like previous patches
mythic fyrakk got 100% chance for 1 lego per raid?
uh nope
2 pcs tier 4 + 2 pcs tier 3 is good?
gotta sim it
it is good yes
whats the play for m+?
Set: Head, Shoulder, Breast, Hand and craft bracers and haste legs?
or other craft and set legs?
bracer lariet for m+ if you got sockets, haste pants only good if its fast pulls - bracer+shadowflame for m+ if surviability isnt an issue tbh
BSL if your immune to damage
merci and what is the worst tier set?
Bsl pretty good anyway, you just have to press defensives
yeah it was bugged previously and you only needed wyrms
515 wep simmin 8k higher than 496 fyralath lol
bsl?
Blue silken lining
crazy how 20 ilvls will do that
ah ๐
and next week legendary goes to 535 item level
so 1 craft bracers yea?
yes, vers wrists are a very safe craft
Yeah except no one is swapping off
I swapped off lego
4 season heoric 2 / 2 set Vs season 3 4set which set is better ? someone know plz tell me
thx !
Someone said its ok for m+ but a nono for raid
So I would not use a catalyst to get 2 set now to jinx 4-set next week ๐
The bar under here, how do I get rid of it? ๐
I dont even know if its a addon or normal UI ><
Found it...
option > combat > personal Resorce display
nice seems lke we got a new exodia this season
Depends on the build - s3 is great with jugg builds and only running 2+2 buffs ms by a chunk and still increases sd procs to fuel jugg - s4 in m+ allows you to take the cleave builds and is alot of dam in aoe
id drop cruel strikes
rn the 5% stam is carrying my ass

do we have a boon + fyralath macro?
i am attempting to pug dathea and every single time i get fucking clobbered by a melee after the suck @slender sonnet
what the fucl do i even do
just oneshot by tank mechanic xdd
no fucking shot it happened agian
when playing uproar, do u just send thunderous roar
or how do u deal with it being off cds from toehrs
ideally with wb but on cd
we were actually discussing that earlier today, Deswind had come up with some alternative APL which just threw Roar on CD with no conditions whatsoever (alongside a few other minor changes)
and... the difference was actually 0.0% dps in the AoE profile, some small differences with others
so just send roar?
Can I loot anything else?
Is the head enchant not working anymore with the new items?
should work
actually nvm wtf is this man
496 helmet 4 min fight
???
nvm looked at the aoe
๐
hi
Yeah; so really it doesn't seem to matter if you time it out or just send it (mostly because just sending it on CD happens to line up either right before or during WB anyway)
that said, practical elements apply - if the pack is dying, a big pull coming up, some important burst, etc
Find better tanks
Hey new to arms - question - on ST during smash window when boss is in execute range do you prio exe over everything else or do you fit in any mortal strikes during that frame
two exe and mortal strikes
Right, but if you're max on jugg stacks not sure if exe takes prio or if mortal should be woven in during smash window specifically. I know outside of it it's exe 2 overpower 2 then mortal iir
If mortal is still prio on 2 stacks then still makes sense, I need to hop into norm or something i barely got any practice guild obliterated raid lol
i have been weaving it in casue the new set makes it so strong
Is Dungeon Slice useful in any ways for Arms? Or am I better of using manual method to find upgrades
is good
Lfr/norm/heroic cleared and 0 loot this week
incredible
I got 528 wep from raid so i'm ready for next week, my axe upgrades will be free lol
it's good, but I'd recommend doing a combination of DS, Patch, and ~5 targets... at least until you learn the ins and outs of everything
cause they each kinda lean towards different things - DS emphasizes boss damage and low target cleave, 5 or 7 target sims are just full AoE blast
Alright thank you for that, will do
Krill issue
im totaly new to arms here. just wondering execute is pure st? u cant spread it with whirlwind or so like fury?
or if any1 know a good YT guide that they know is nice ๐
you can only cleave it with sweeping strikes
everything else you do it pure st - though dreadnaught makes overpower cleave a bit
kk. i just copied some build of Icy for m+
this guy offered 150k gold for a normal tokken
I said no... and im poor
now... which piece to buy ... hmm
wrong move
should sell your tier set first week
next week its gonna be useless
u are probably right
but i just don't need gold
maybe i could use the gold to get something else... but meh.
150k for nomal tier? sign me up
dude said 100k then 150k after.
can you make a cast sequence macro for warbreaker into avatar for arms m+
or will it still somehow mess up getting the WB off before bladestorm
HI new in arms warrior i have somes question about mm+ rotation , do you alway use 2 OV before cleave or 1 ? using BS on ST ? and on exec phase do you ALWAYS exec x2 OV x2 then MS or do you juste Exec into MS ?
is it known how much crests we will need to upgrade leggo to awakened 14/14 next week ? (aka do we need to save any crests from this week to make it?)
same question for me, guess we have to sim it
feels weird having op(dreadnaught) and cleave at the same time.
how to prioritize spells ๐ฆ
OP does more dmg... so I guess cleave is for the filler (i.e. ww)
and refilling dots
There should be no Mistake if i Upgrade mythic council mace now Since i will save the spend aspects next week for legendary right?
hello, does puzzle box still channel with bladestorm ? or thats a thing from the past now
correct
you will spend extra flightstones (and 2hrs require a lot), but you can farm those infinitely as long as you take the time
Sick ty mate
Hey, what stats do i go with with the s1 set of arms?
lol, this happened to me yesterday, twice. and someone else said it in raid chat too.
everything
you have so many stats npow
i like to play with rotation helper as arms warrior but with one is better hekili maxdps or herorotation ?
probably hekili but youll manage without the addon
i find priority list hard
so pure ilvl instead of raw stats?
you have enough at decent gear to be on dr on hast/crit
im craftin hast mast rn for ex
at 40%ish crit anyways so sim doesnt want any more
can bladestorm take aggro away from the tank ?
it does damage so yea
Bruh, my sim at 34% crit with flask and doesnt want me to have more
my sim hard fiends haste tho
running crafted haste versa + laro ring rn
- tindral belt
and it still wants more
Yea mine goes hard for haste too
Have 38% and an hourglass
Weird to have 31% mastery and 21% versa with it
im at 44% rn
and 35% mast or so
BSL is GREAT

Yep, BSL enjoyers
I have 26% mastery ๐ฆ
I wonder how my stats will look like after reset with legendary again, and with equipping all 4 new set and off piece
@boreal quartz do you have puzzle box yet?
no
We didnt have a single drop yet in premade
That other trinket dropped like 3 times tho..
Primal Council is a meme boss done right imo
It can be annoying with mark criminals
But still 10 times better than amir council
Facts
How does legendary upgrade next week work? FLights and 60/60/60 crests?
Hella weird... having to manually refill rend ๐ฆ
oh apparently you can sr the bomb on the last boss of A\A
i am seeing %50-%60 BSL uptime on people in dungeons. is it same with raids ?
depends on the fight and your healers
hmmm yeah i dont trust them ๐
do you think allied wristguard is a safer option for first week ?
It'll always be the safest option
lot of folks playing fury still maybe I should wait for s4 4pc to switch to arms ๐ญ
but Iโm enjoying bs
I spent spark on vers wrists and dropped flavor pocket for BSL on ring
2+2 was plenty fine in keys
what race is the best for arms warrior on horde side ?
The faction change button.
Troll iirc
How bad are blood elf vs troll race ?
Beefy good
Realistically you can play whatever race
I switched from orc to dwarf , those bleeds are hard
Just noticed it wasnโt updated. Let me see if I have the simc string handy
Anyone play with this yet?
damage proc seems ait
Imma be honest, the only reason i'd consider using it, is because in S3 gear I had 19% speed, and im now down to 8% ๐ I want my movement speed back
I can send you the simc string if you want to sim the races. Send me a msg. Not going to post the wall of test here.
Real and true. I went Chadalari troll for 5% movespeed 
Human for mogs
sorry for the noob question, if I do lfr to try and get the leggo can I still do norm/hc to get it? or is it 1 chance on any difficulty
Run the highest difficulty you can and thatโs it
or forc
lfr and normal are such small chances likely not worth the time.
I went human this season for the drip
female tauren this season. dont hate
Whatever you have now out of 240 total
They'll presumably just increase the cap by 120 every week until all the raids are open
Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4.
do we use cleave with the new 4pc in m+? I see a lot of arms wars arent taking it on murlok io
is arm still bad in S4?
because you need the new 4pc first
Arms is bad
we gonna get nerfed because of that
No utility. Arms Bad.
Hello everybody, i don't found anything about AA trinket and WW macro (to cast trinket while WW like in S1), is it still possible or not?
its on the gcd now so i dont think it will work
I heard we get a 2nd catalyst next week too?
Just play cleave w/ 2pc and enjoy the vibes ๐๐
It was while you used Avatar Bladestorm, not WW
Correct.
is dungeon slice accurate for simming AoE?
i got puzzle box and i keep forgetting to use it before i press my burst lol
It takes a while, you will get used to it
Still needs to be updated, I think. Something borked currently with it
Which dungeons upon successful timing should award 15 crests then
Instead we gotta do 10 dungeons instead of 8 which is bullshit
Back in S1, didn't we use cleave as ST filler in our AoE builds due to the set bonus? Do we still do that in S4?
I'm assuming higher rage generation changed it so we don't since Cleave only costs 20 and we want to dump more rage than that
i see, so do you just sim for 5T patchwerk?
yes you do, but dont consume your martial prowess stacks with it
๐
yo boys. I'm giving arms a go on some dummies now after not playing it properly for about 3 expansions (always been a fury main), there are some spells here I'm confused on whether or not we press or use, like, even remotely - do we press rend? its applying automatically from thunderclap. do we use Tclap? do we use whirlwind?
Raid mythic and you have to do even less
Also you need to get mythic crest cap for like a month, after that you wont even need any aspect crest
could you please help me out with my comment? i'm genuinely, like, so confused but so keen to learn more about arms hahaha
sorry to poke you
We use most of our buttons, depending on talent choice
You can rend on pull, but outside of that just thunder clap
You use WW in your rotation, if possible under Colossus
In season 4, we dont use slam anymore on ST, we use TC as a spender instead
TC?
Thunder clap
oh shit i'm actually autistic, thank you
No worries
im being so throttled by haste it hurts
the reason i asked is because i'm having weird issues binding arms lmao, my mind is sort of breaking at how you guys have like 3 more buttons than fury usually does
do you guys have any useful combination macros to free up some keybinds?
Piano lessons
We dont really macro together anything
thanks man i had no clue that was a thing!! /s
yeah fair enough, do you ever really run shockwave, intim. shout or zerker rage?
Shock in m+ only
int shout is easy to pickup
If you dont want 1 min roar
Add in purple fireworks for flair.
this is an amazing idea thank you, holy shit
What should be the first dinar purchase next week if we donโt have the leggo? ๐ค Mostly play M+
Save for Lego imo, if you drop it
If I was in that situation I would kill heroic fyrakk in a pug first and if it didnt drop I would buy ashkandur
there is zero reason to hold bullion if you may not see lego for 12 weeks
Nah ashkandur is a waste, if you dont play fury
but always try to loot it before spending bullion
Buy eranogg ring instead
what haste should i be aiming for
I dis agree becuase he could not see axe for a very long time
so not having max weapon is inting
on the other hand
you could farm a heroic 2h
and call it a day until lego
Exactly Thats why ashkandur is a waste
and spend the bullion somewheres else
it really depends on your own goals and or wants
its just a for fun season
I got the axe from Norm lightning chicken.. but itโs champ
522 2h is behind a 528 for sure
As much as you can get, under 42% as your sim tells you
but it doesnt cost a bullion and is farmable
i guess thats a solid argument to be maid
I mean, if you kill the Boss, that doesnt cost a bullion either
But yea hero track is farmable
mythic fyrakk has 100% chance to drop lego? i mean 1 in raid group
Not 100%
Not even close
Sadly
15 weeks of heroic kills is the only 100% chance, I dont know how much was from mythic kills where you get 100% drop
could it be that tier sets in this expac make a MASSIVE dps difference? I came back at the end of season 3 to the game and therefore got no tier set. I sim 180k dmg at 488ilvl. I see people around the same ilvl, with 4p season 3 set who sim over 300k (the ones i looked up was a wl and a dh, since they were in my group and pulled far more dps than I did).
just curious... since list time I played tier sets of course improved your char... but they did not double the output
All I can say, there is no way anyone sims above 300k in s3 set in 488
s1 tier is really really broken, s3 not so much
I was almost in bis gear from S3, 489ilvl and my sim was around 250k as arms
well... this dh apparently seems to do...
still have the report in my cache:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/swY3mJaSspd9pe2ywPvHa3
Thats not single target
Its more common than you would think
ok, these numbers are closer to what I expect haha
On wowhead for aoe it says number 1 prio is whirlwind in colossus smash even when i select warbreaker instead of colossus smash build. Is that correct?
I believe so you can count them as same thing really.
Warbreaker = aoe colossus, What is the question here?
I read above that Cleave can be used as ST filler as long as not using martial prowess on it, why do no guides seem to cover this (WoWHead or Icy Veins)?
You very rarely have to press cleave on ST, if everything else is on CD and cant press anything else
I guess thats why
It just reminds me of correct execute rotation never being updated into WoWhead last season, guide writers not maintaining it.
WoWhead references S3 randomly in parts of the guide it doesnt make sense.
can we anyhow sim a bsl neck with different stat combinations?
Top gear
Hit the + on the item. Make changes.
Or you can manually add them in gear compare, but top gear is easier
Best first craft?

gm nerds
Good morning, tho - it is evening 
Fix yer sleep sched
good evening!
Hello guysโค๏ธ are we picking cleave or not? I am seeing on murlok that it is very rarely taken, what do you guys think?
Then you use it
Just wondering why none of the top are using it
Because they probably just dont have the tier yet
You should still have slam keybound btw, it def has a niche place in ST; saw someone saying we never use it
Murlock isn't updated yet because it's based on recent runs and many players dont have the new tier yet because it's been less than one week
i will not press slam you cannot convince me
Make sense
a lot of those "top logs" sites need to be taken with lots of grains of salt early on since they're reflective of the populous, not necessarily of "whats best" yet
SPONGIE DO IT FOR THE LINC BRO
can you check how much of a dps loss it is
Are you feelin good with cleave?
I just replaced my Slam bind with Cleave
dont press Slam
iirc it was legit like less than margin of error in s2
poor boy is on life support
In ST you just fill with Cleave instead of Slam when you'd want to press it
Cleave will feel very good with tier yes ๐
But you don't want to waste OP buffs on cleave
Thx guys
I typically just TC in those scenarios
Also you don't have cleave in ST build
Lets farm the box now
If I have the rage for it
Do u go Diurna with ST build? it's been a while
If u are not ok adds
either/or is fine, depends on your group assignment
On
arms thrives in both
I'm thinking adds might too soon to benefit from aoe focused build
NGL I'm enjoying arms more than I anticipated
might die too soon *
depends on the difficulty and number of people assigned to AoE, yeah
Always been best class in my heart
if they're dying too soon, have less folks on AoE
what tier did yall vote for arms?
Just joined fyrakk skip grp... finding heals seems challenging.
Finding heals nowadays is a pain in the ass
for Fyrakk skip
I guess we gotta wait for Amirdrassil awakened ๐ฆ
is there a way to sim new tier bonus ?
Yes in top gear
Type in Onyx Crucible at the top, and you can pick the tier items
Hey everyone, could someone tell me what's the preferred % for each stat (crit, haste etc.)? I am struggling to understand what should be the preferred amount, since some ppl focus on mastery the others on crit
There is no preferred amount, sim yourself in top gear to figure out the best stats for you with your current gear
oh they morphed gear compare and top gear ?
until you have multiple choices, ilv is gonna be king for now
(exception is rings and neck)
Just befriend a healer and join a group together. Youโll get an instant invite, but itโs rough unless you get luck with paladins willing to heal.
hi guys, doesn t anyone have the site for sim craft update ? the one i got steal have admidrassil
at fyrakk again... come on ugly lizard
What do you mean?
@calm hollow it keeps getting worse
A good chunk of people will be rolling S3 tiersets for a hot minute if thats what you mean
@slow topazYou can download simcraft from its website, https://www.simulationcraft.org/
If you mean something else, you'll have to explain what you mean
You should stack avoidance
doesnt give me dps
It was a joke, sorry
That feeling when you were testing DPS on a dummy and notice this an hour later
weakaura
I honestly forget that stances are even a thing 99% of the time
Ye there is a wa that reminds you :p
I should probably make use of that lmao
I switch back and forth between Prot and Arms a lot so it gets reset to defensive a bunch
and to "no stance"
Logging out with no stance will put you in defensive when you relog
Is it worth to drop 4 piece if I have 3 pieces of gear to break I with right now? Or should I just hold the line, all the pieces are 502 going from 489 myth
I doubt it

I'm not trashing my S3 till I have 4 piece XD
Yeah I got unlucky not 1 set peice for a full H N and LFR man
Bout to go do pvp to hit 1600 and get a mark of mastery for a heroic tier
I'm struggling to get into a normal that can deal with Ascended wind lady
For warrior its a non issue but anything that's not a warrior or DH just drops dead after the adds XD
But prot uses battle stance
Still unsets your stance, which will then go into defensive on relog
Mostly just me being negligent on that class mechanic XD
Worth using a new weapon(506) over 496 legendary?
sim it, but prob not
Most likely get the lego upgrade token next week
can non tier raid pieces be turned into tier with catalyst
Unless a trinket is more important
yes, that is literally what the catalyst does
yes but we limited on charges atm
i didnt know if raid gear counted since it already dropped tier
turn a non tier chest into a tier chest etc
Don't break your S3 4p unless it's for 2p2p, or new 4p
UNless its finishing 4 piece I'd save the charge
No
Never know what vault will throw at you
Bet ty
Ty
Upgrading axe next week is massive
For the people who have it
Can I upgrade it just by doing M+? Guildless atm, so raids kind out of the question
You can get currency from lfr
Yes
Or is it also in M+ chests?
You can get the Bullion's from any raid difficulty
And otherwise you just need crests + flightstones which you can farm in M+
Final wing only or whole raid in lfr?
Any bosses
Any boss has a decent chance to drop
Shit... another week
Similar to those crafting things
Ah, I see. ty guys again
I only started playing arms a few weeks ago so I think I'm in for a rough time
I'm near 3 months in
its guaranteed after 15 hc fyrakk kills
So Fyraleth rolls are stacked up on highest difficulty or does each difficulty roll seperately regardless of what the other difficulties kills are?
So doing heroic will roll LFR Normal and Heroic all together?
Yes
Yarp
So just get the kill on the highest you can do each week and get it eventually?
That is it
Did it get nerfed? I notice that simming with it isn't a +20K DPS anymore
It hasn't been nerfed no
Just made this if any one is curious to what gear to aim after
feel free to ask questions
What could've changed the sim increase for you, could be your stats, however it's not exactly by a huge or really noticeable amount
can you elaborate on how you cant get rank 5 crafted gear in raidbots
There's already a technical bis setup in the Wowhead guide, or on simulationcraft.org in the profile for Arms. On top of this, there's very limited choice for gear this season because almost every slot possible is filled with either crafted gear, or a special effect item
It's a nice thought, but the job has already been done by multiple people
No true statstick trinket this season?
There is, Icon and OCE
OCE?
Are there any tips for someone new to the 4pc s1 set bonus? I donโt feel like Iโm doing it correctly and my dps is lower than expected
Aren't we rolling S1 tier?
We are
I forget XD
I was under the impression before the season started that we were getting S3
Fury got the S2 bonus, Arms got the S1 bonus
Then again every site I checked listed different results of the polls
Thatโs what I meant, s1
I was on tournament realm and couldn't craft higher
I think S1 focuses heavily on the mortal strike side of the rotation and moving away from Sudden death procs being higher priority
Assuming you've played the previous season, the raid rotation stays the same, except SD gets moved under MS in priority instead of above SD. As for AoE, you talent Cleave now for M+ and any applicable Raid boss, like Council
4p 
The priority however in M+ is very muddled, since there are just a lot of buttons you want to juggle, and it all depends on target count and context
Gotcha. Do you need to worry about the buff that overpower stacks? Or just send MS as soon as itโs up?
Thanks btw!
In multitarget you'll probably be using overpower enough that the buff will be to 2 all the time
is there any nice macros that can be nice to use? like avatar with dragon roar or w/e
Avatar with roar is the only really useful one I think
Roar then avatar if your doing a bladestorm, otherwise Avatar then Roar
(Depending heavily on if your using the shorter cooldown on roar)
It's a fairly convoluted priority, but laid out it'd be something like
WW if Storm of Swords > Cleave at 5 or above targets and no priority target + 2 OP buffs > MS at 4 targets with SS active and 2 OP buffs > OP > MS at 2 targets without SS active > TC
If there's a priority target, you'd prioritise MS on that target no matter the target count
In an example like ToTT from last season you'd want to reduce your AoE as much as possible for the elementals in the nasty hallway
Thanks!
Don't macro stuff together, keep things separate since it'd practice bad muscle memory
Since there are times where you want to use one, but not the other, where you'd then have to have a separate bind anyway
You can technically just otherwise spam Cleave at 4+ targets if there is no priority target and all you want is AoE
I think the easiest thing to say would be that Macroing will reduce your versatility, but in some situations it can be helpful if limiting depending on your keybind availability and dexterity
You're limiting your keybind availability by making more binds that'd overall do the same thing
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/66FpJzgxjNkTnfDTvAa9j9 @calm hollow sim maybe unfucked soon
Yes Iโm aware and i disagree With the list due for a number of reasons. A big one is the cloak from the raid they took, you lose a ton of stam and itโs just not worth it in my eyes. It looks good on paper but not in practice in my experience
So just wanted share my take
what
Just replace the cloak with any cloak from M+/Raid
The difference really is negligible
bro is speedrunning
Very useful addition to this server you are


blue silken lining gaming
BSL 
what are you doing, when you are flightstone capped?
spending more

420 blazelord omg lit
but for what
ewww

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fQH3V9RjWjeqkSnefhBNzo if i just had 1 more set item
bladestorm is cringe too
idk
If you've got stuff to upgrade I guess
nothing really good
but you're gonna need like 2k flightstones on weds to upgrade fyralath to 435
how bad are hekili for arms warrior ?
I'm prolly just gonna upgrade my ring to 525 and then idk from there there's nothing else I can upgrade with aspects and I'm capped on wyrms
i wont

ring doesnt have mainstat
:x
yeah waiting for a weapon drop tbh
this just saved me some crests
yep it's just cause I did BSL on ring
ahh i see
had the axe drop from rasza hc on 2 warriors 
Don't gotta rub it in 
banezi can we date
Cleave is so annoying
Nikkado avocado dmmg type shii
It changes so much on each proc that its probably worth just figuring out the rotation
Or I guess priority rotation XD
Given that arms is never set in stone what's coming next unless your proccing strategist then you might be using overpower after lol
ye i just tried the same thing and i did more damage just reacting on my own
Still pretty early in gearing but is 128K (Actual) /131K (Raidbots Sim) good enough to not worry about my rotation anymore?
who me ?
everyone !
I need a 4090
is use it as a reminder tbh
CPU are whats needed for WoW
GPU dont get to go full power on this game
I need 4series๐คฃ
Im on q 2070s
At 1440p with a 5600x
Unbalanced setup for gaming, pretty good for wow
best move is to get a 3D from AMD
Oh
more on the x3d shill boat
Yeah i want 1440p and max
cleave and bladestorm are cringe
gamer tbh
i think im gonna miss season 3 set in keys tbh
the free tclaps and rends are so fcking nice
I agree with you tbh
I prefer that to S1
when you high roll TC on a pack
and you end up having it as #2 after TR

season 3 set is kinda cringe in raid tho
arms already feels too much as an rng simulator in raid
I don't know if it's cringe but it's definitely less exciting than S1 for raid
I still think they should have let us alternate between which sets we wanted for each content we do
like raid you go s1, M+ you go s3 if u want
I know it's a balance nightmare but who cares at this point
it's a meme season
yeah that's gonna be annoying
yep i drop this ability for no reason
they should have merged every tier set into 1
unlock power
I love leech
imagine that, the class who has the best 3 tiers wins lmao
dw they'll tune it 
Anyone have a decent plater nameplate profile?
for melees
I like Crit's but Idk where it is
Found it

Actually Justpaste doesn't seem to be working
Did you guys forget about s2 arms set

What a horrifying set
aint nothing wrong with that !
Are hekili bad if i cant react fast if i can react fast then it is good ?
Quazii. Has a wonderful setup of WAs (and Elv if thatโs your jam). Heโs got a dedicated site for his UI.
you'll be fine
is it worth bladestorming on single target ?
yes, bwecause hurricane is real good
How are not maxdps or herorotation better ?
wow accidental furry
One thing I find weird about warrior is how we have 0 counterplay to melee denial mechanics. I feel like every other melee has good ranged globals, how come there isn't like a talent that gives overpower some range or something?
kinda crazy
i have no experience with them
we have big ranged damage
xdd
should I use it on CD or with warbreaker?
all cds are used on cd
if you wanna optimize for ST, you'll BS then CS. If you are doing AoE, you'll switch the two
how do cleave work? use it in MT situations?
