best spec for me would probably be mountain thane fury, just glow on every button mental overload

proud plover

#

You cleave on 4+ targets when you don't have sweeping strikes up, 7+ when Sweeping is up.

#

However, if you know your group is full sending aoe

#

And there are larger prio mobs, I like to opt to send more prio dmg with Ms into said large target

novel hollow
#

so basically big ass pulls

#

SS + cleave

ornate eagle
#

Cuz what's the point of killing 10 mobs but still have 1 large mob at 50% hp

novel hollow
#

like aa near tree

ornate eagle
#

And to then Single target

#

So instead i personally do the efficient thing and send more prio dmg

#

To ensure mobs die at the same time instead of half and half

novel hollow
#

and MS up to 4?

ornate eagle
#

3

novel hollow
#

kk

#

ty

ornate eagle
#

(atleast if your goal is just pure overall dmg)

#

But like the bird pulls in AA, you wanna send prio dmg into the alpha birds

#

Cuz the smallies will just die anyway

nova marsh
#

Or bird pulls in Neltharus

ornate eagle
#

Yah, basically attack the thing with the most hp

#

If you wanna do useful dmg

nova marsh
#

But my pad!

ornate eagle
#

Hate padding.

nova marsh
#

Yeah I'm just joking lol

ornate eagle
#

I was just following along dw

proud plover
ornate eagle
#

Season 1 build

#

Only aoe, but do only 150k ST

nova marsh
#

I do play BS because it's the only way I do damage

ornate eagle
#

And lose to tank in ST dmg

nova marsh
#

I am a very bad warrior

ornate eagle
#

Time to git gud

proud plover
#

oh and collat

ornate eagle
nova marsh
#

Tier not existing

#

REally dosen't help

next badger
#

YOOO what should arms damage breakdown in M+ look like

ornate eagle
#

You only need 1 item to drop from raid

#

You got 2 catalyst charges + 1 ksm/atoc token

nova marsh
#

Or

#

I'd need chest or legs to drop

ornate eagle
proud plover
nova marsh
#

depends on the tank

#

(I'm joking)

ornate eagle
#

This is 521k from Algethar

proud plover
#

also actually does depend on the tank

ornate eagle
#

This is 525k (with Aug) in Ruby

dire hinge
ornate eagle
#

So ig MS should be top~ish

#

Mixed with roar

nova marsh
#

Honestly so much in keys is very tank dependant

ornate eagle
#

And DN/DW 3rd

nova marsh
#

A tank pulls like two mobs when roar is up is....actual depression

ornate eagle
#

Well yeah

#

But at that point I tilt off the planet and pull for the tank, which then proceeds to kill said tank and forces tank to leave

proud plover
ornate eagle
ornate eagle
#

I'm extremely efficient in using dbts when the tank dies

nova marsh
#

My arms warrior stole from fury

ornate eagle
#

And kite master until tank comes back

#

Many such cases

#

(I could just tank myself but pwar is so mega auto pilot for me that it's not enjoyable anymore)

dire hinge
#

In HoI when the final boss turns and looks at you critcake

nova marsh
#

I can't tank worth a shit

ornate eagle
#

Tanked a +9 algethar and did 300k dps, literally competing with the other dps for overall and beating 2 others on ST

nova marsh
#

Why I play dps

ornate eagle
#

I was off my chair

nova marsh
#

No aug?

ornate eagle
#

No aug

proud plover
#

pwar goes bur

nova marsh
#

I quit

#

LOL

proud plover
#

ulda key

ornate eagle
#

Like I rather solo the dps as dps

#

And deal with mediocre tanks

nova marsh
#

Ngl chief

#

those dps just have a skill issue....what is that fire mage

ornate eagle
#

Firemage in low keys is illegal

#

And one of the hardest dps to play

#

Period

#

Like so many people fotm roll firemage

#

Not knowing how fucking hard it is to play well in keys

#

There's several leagues of differences between a good and a good mage

#

Like straight up 50% dmg difference

proud plover
#

im just blasting +2's for gear tho

#

running 2pc only as prot and 2+2pc as arms atm

potent portal
#

Got mythic anvil in raid tonight (both arms warriors did)
I sim'd myself but raid bots is having me replace 483 Brand over my 489 Augery.

does raidbots factor in the brand dmg?

potent portal
proud plover
#

longer fights band gets better

ornate eagle
#

Well, sims also average out augury

#

And signet will absolute turbo win on longer fights

potent portal
#

what is the time on a "longer" fiht

proud plover
#

if your fights are sub 4 mins run augury+anvil = fights over 4 mins you want brand + anvil imo

potent portal
#

like 6+ mins

#

nvm, ty

ornate eagle
#

Anvil follows the same principle as signet

#

With the caveat that anvil isn't rng in how many stacks you get how quickly

proud plover
#

its > signet on shorter fights tho

ornate eagle
#

Dunno, first season of having both be relevant

north sigil
#

what are the cool kids using to sim for dungeons? dungeon slice? or x targets y mins?

smoky kayak
#

it's pretty close, Anvil stacks fully after 4m and Brand breakpoints around the same spot
TBH with how fast fights are getting, puzzle box is probably going to be BiS for everything except end bosses

ornate eagle
#

You can't go wrong with just simming single target

#

But dungeon slice is maintained and running

#

So you can actually sim arms dungeon slice

ornate eagle
#

(I've had that already happen multiple times and it's hilarious)

north sigil
#

I have puzzle and irideus. was surprised irideus beat out puzzle in dungeon slice (sandglass as second slot trinket)

ornate eagle
#

Double on-use kinda cringe

#

But the turbo loaded use of irideus in a 6min sim probably makes it look extremely good

north sigil
#

sandglass isn't on use though

ornate eagle
#

Yes that's why it says irideus+sandglass

#

Instead of puzzle+irideus

#

Cuz irideus is big oomph for short term, and sandglass is just solid

verbal ingot
#

did someone say puzzle box? bedge

ornate eagle
still tapir
#

nah xD it's my alt now warrior ran enough AV on my lock to get the tome . 33 runs

rancid knot
#

why is ruby trinket simming well?

robust ridge
#

Ruby Whelp? Because it's not terrible, but it's somewhat irrelevant given the bullion system

ornate eagle
#

Rumbling ruby? Because it does uncapped aoe damage

rancid knot
#

yea i was simming for arms and it was simming better than puzzle box

ornate eagle
#

And it increases atk power

novel hollow
#

am i supposed to have mortal strikes as #1 damage?

#

in details

rancid knot
#

no ruby whelp

novel hollow
#

after a key

robust ridge
#

That is largely dependent on the key / pulls etc., but yeh

ornate eagle
#

If you have new 4pc

robust ridge
#

MS should be upfront

ornate eagle
#

Then yes it should be up there

rancid knot
#

i thought it was a meme trinket, but then i saw people using it and i was like wtf

ornate eagle
#

Ruby whelp shell if trained correctly can be really good

#

But it's basically a gambling trinket

proud plover
#

prolly the best they have atm tho

manic stirrup
#

i still think it was the best in all keys

#

besides maybe a tyran vo

velvet hull

I hate to be that guy, but which Oathstone do I bind to for Arms?

Do we still care about sending bladestorm at the last sec of Hurricane to extend the buff on aoe?

#

Or do you spread your cds more out to have them on multiply pulls?

Are the wowhead talents for M+ up to date?

nova marsh
#

yes

tough steppe
#

man

#

do you guys even use slam

novel hollow
#

no

nova marsh
#

nope

#

Fuck slam

tough steppe
#

like, i don't have time in my rotation to use it as a spender

novel hollow
#

its around 5-10k dps

nova marsh
#

Take it off the bar

novel hollow
#

loss

nova marsh
#

Slam is literally "hey use this if EVREYTHING is on CD"

warm otter
#

So Basicly the wowheadguide says to use bladestorm raw. Is that a bigger dps gain, then sending it with the Wb buff? Like not divide the pulls like before like every 45 sec you send avatar with one Wb and Bladestorm on next pull for max dps?

proud plover
nova marsh
#

"In aoe" The question wasn't about aoe to be fair

#

But yeah, it's a rare thing

proud plover
#

i mean even in st perssing tc will refresh rend + reset op

nova marsh
#

it's still slam's use case in the rotation thou

#

Even it is a literal once in a blue moon you probally fucked yourself situation

atomic burrow

guys is it smart to put avatar and roar on a macro to reduce button ?

proud plover

hey now, 5min sims use it twice

nova marsh

True...also wait

#

The book for enchanting is EVREY CREST?

proud plover
#

its such a nice helm too

#

socket+avoidence worth what, 15+ ilvl?

obsidian wave
#

yo gamers, any reason why raidbots is suggesting I use frosted armor kit over fierce armor kit? Isn't the stam more value than the armor?

proud plover

what is converting armor to ap in arms?

proud plover

#

ty. So you all are running this enchant then? or the survivability more important for high keys

proud plover

xan armor one was 2500g, while stam one is 500g

feelsbad, but ty

dead dps will do less damage than alive dps, even if those dead dps had an extra 14 str

surreal wigeon
#

reallY? just cuz of fort i take it?

quartz cedar
#

question....sweeping strikes says it will let abilities that normally hit 1 target hit another, yet hekili will say to use cleave in the middle of that window. Is cleave benefiting from SS or is hekili determining that its better to hit 5 targets than 1+1?

paper summit
#

is there any reward above 2k M+?

dire hinge
#

just dungeon portals for 10 if you dont have them already, and then title if you're a very top-end player

dire hinge
#

it's also your AoE spencer spell in 5+ target scenarios

quartz cedar
#

thanks Hrothmar

surreal wigeon
#

@sage badge would that be only for fort week?

verbal inlet
#

had pretty good luck with the madness trinket, got it in the cache from TW Black Temple at heroic track. Anyone else use it?

madness is actually a REALLY good trinket for us if you got it

how does FOB work with DN tho?

Wait, are you supposed to stack overpower twice for cleave/mortal strike or just use them on cd reset

nova marsh

Ms is on cd

worn quiver
#

for M+ Signet feels kinda iffy
would icon be good or is it one of those items it needs more people using it to be viable? i was also looking at aug + anvil together?
i did a droptimizer saying signet and icon is like the best of the best

wary needle
hollow wave
#

you are using annihilator with s2 fury set? Something is very off

wary needle
#

oh, right, im so dumb

#

i havent updated my talents for the s4 set, just stuck with the old talents with my s3 because i havent yet catalysted the two pieces for 4p yet

#

but arms seems way off, which is whats frustrating to me

hollow wave
#

I mean, since you fucked up with fury build, fury should do way less damage than arms, somehow it didn't happen

wary needle
#

yeah lol

#

but thats why im thinking ST vs AOE

proud plover
#

update sim to both use 522 and see a big difference

steep osprey
#

Feels like I'm doing something wrong or maybe im not using OP as much detective

proud plover
#

op/dn with ss is your aoe, using cleave and bladestom only buffs it (hurricane and tier)

wary needle
#

I will forever remain SmallDan in your presence

proud plover
#

haha

#

glad i could help

wary needle
#

+17k dps with that, so thats nice

#

but does madness beat augury or dragon games since someone above mentioned that madness is actually pretty good in m+?

#

i need to sim the fury with fury talents of s4 though

proud plover
#

And then try a st jugg build on a 5m patchwork sim

#

Instead of a bladestorm aoe build with 5m patchwork only, try 5xpatchwork or boss +add wave

#

Not at my pc can't remember

wary needle
#

isnt the shockwave very useful for m+? since the standard wowhead build doesnt have it

frigid lava
#

I take shockwave anyway

#

I take int shout, shockwave, sbolt

proud plover
strange perch
#

whats the good uptime for BSL?

astral yarrow

Biggest problem with it is that it’s a bad stun. Bad use just means that you stun DR the mobs off of better stuns

man i just really dont like ignore pain

#

wish we would have never gotten it and just received a stamina buff in the tree

strange perch
#

Im deciding on what embellishment is for next week

#

lariat or BSL neck

wary needle
#

i went with the bracers with +vers, do i go for lariat next week? i thought lkariat was quite subpar for warriors these seasons due to bislists, but im also a really bad player l0l

strange perch
#

Thats why im asking about BSL

#

Im crafting a neck next week, wether its torc with BSL or Lariat

wary needle
#

aaah

#

did you sim it?

Is there any wa to track if tier active? I dont find anyone

terse plume
#

so a bit new to using arms in m+ what does the ST rotation look like in the execute phase without executiones precision? it it just spam execute and hit mortal strike for rend refresh?

#

in the full aoe/bs build

proud plover
#

what build isnt using ep?

somber lance
#

we dont care about 2 stacks of EP with m+ build?

terse plume
#

several of the top rated warriors on r aider.io dont take it

proud plover
#

every build uses ep

terse plume
#

for m+ specifically

strange perch
latent moss
#

stupid builds basically

proud plover
#

mbg over ep wow

#

no mass either, they just full send aoe for buffed cleaves

#

as to those rules, no idea

latent moss
#

its just execute spam iirc

limber bear
#

tbh i basically went toe to toe with a 501 arms warrior (i was 504 at the time) going full aoe build, and i was using hybrid build. Beat him out in the end by like 20k dps total

proud plover
#

ethical dps v aoe pad

limber bear
#

exactly

elfin sage
#

Is dungeon slice the way to go for simming for m+?

limber bear
#

he may have went ham and cheese during add pulls, but i always pulled ahead on bosses

terse plume
#

ironically looking through more top m+ profiles its a mix but theres literally only one talent choice change between most, like I said am brand new to running arms in m+ but since fury sucks absolute dumpster fire right now, took it as an opporutnity to play something Im not as familar with

flat vine
terse plume
#

true numbers wise its close in m+ but I can never be okay with the s2 playstyle again

#

its god awful coming back too it

proud plover
#

fury is amazing in m+ with the right tank pulling 1 pack at a time

outer holly
proud plover
#

5t cleave king

terse plume
#

yeah thats the issue is I have good tanks they pull 3-4 packs that target limit was starting to reeaaaly hurt

somber lance
#

implying you have a tank to play around a subpar spec

#

doesnt happen

limber bear
#

give us any sort of single target priority tho and we pull ahead

terse plume
#

honestly with good m+ tanks arms higher effective target count was doing much better for me

#

and I was 100% fucking stuff up cause I just started dipping my toes in today

proud plover
#

its better in 1-3t and 6t+ arms > fury

flat vine
proud plover
#

but why bring a fury fo 5t when rogues, and rets exist right

somber lance
#

bring the player xd

flat vine
#

why bring a warrior at all if ur meta'ing

somber lance
#

noxiv looks like hes doing fine

proud plover
#

not even meta comps

terse plume
#

yeah Im not some hardcore rating pusher so I just do stuff thats fun, not having to play s2 fury for effectively the 3rd season in a row made arms appealing

proud plover
#

im just happy its not arms s2 because that made me swap to fury then bench warr for aug

terse plume
#

yeah arms s2 was pretty lack luster tier wise as well

#

tier 3 would have been fine to me for arms as well played it a bit before the end of the season was fun enough lol

limber bear
#

from all the arms i played in s3, the tier bonus was fun

steel portal
#

hey guys I enjoy my fury war's simple rotation but I wanna try arms. Is that one about the same difficulty?

errant bough
#

mortal strike

proud plover
#

i like s3 arms, i like the build diversity of s1 arms

somber lance
#

arms is more difficult for sure

limber bear
#

ok, i sleep

rancid knot
#

why is the st build on wowhead different from the most popular st build on archon?

proud plover
#

not difficult at all

somber lance
#

fury is ooga booga in comparison

#

not even close imo

terse plume
#

yeah arms is only ever hard when rage managment exists, it hasnt pretty much since s1

steel portal
#

what about the number of buttons? :>

#

arms vs fury

terse plume
#

I mean, considering everything past ms op and execute are just wonky rage dumps they arent super hard to consider

proud plover
#

arms = prio rotation (ms > sd > op (to reset ms) > ww/tc (to reset op) and you just follow prio - diff prio for diff target counts
fury = generate the most rage with the highest damaging ability to spend it all on rampage and press ww to enable cleave

steel portal
#

both of these sound pretty fun

terse plume
#

both specs are prio lists pretty much at all times, its how most classes work in the modern game

#

furys current iteration is just the dumbest version thats been around for awhile

proud plover
#

fun is subjective - both are fairly simple

they are scared of your magnum dong !

#

i'm 99% sure i get invited because my ilvl is huge

gaunt owl
proud plover
#

thing about top m+ warriors is you arent running the stuff they are

terse plume
#

yeah I was looking through and it was a mixed bag, so Ill probably go with the guild with a bit more balance for ST/aoe with EP

gaunt owl
#

most of their build are clunky

#

like they take EP without Massacre

#

or go double bladestorm

#

when its giga padding for no reason

#

they only care about their shitty overall metric

#

and do actually 0 prio dmg

proud plover
#

cause pulling 7+ packs onto something and sending lust so pad aoe > st execute/ms

gaunt owl
#

on this week

#

its even more silly

proud plover
#

tue

gaunt owl
#

have fun bolstering the giga target

#

so you set yourself up for failure

#

the first few week

proud plover
#

by the time they kill said giga turet bolstering has droppeed off

gaunt owl
#

its all worth nothing

#

so i did this overall yesterday with some good giga pull

#

and not going double bladestorm because its useless

#

and it was kind of a clown show too we died on first pull

thick kelp

But Ppaww, bizentein is running double BS it must be good !

having lego 535 is the biggest upgrade you should have gotten this week but well when no lego

honestly I need to loot gloves

im still 500 :(( wtb rings and trinket

wicked aurora

gloves and bracers are the only things I have left at under 500ilvl

frigid lava

hit 2000 score and exchange the token for a heroic tier

wicked aurora

but bracers are getting recrafted up to 525 next week

frigid lava
#

I just recrafted the bracer today.

wicked aurora
#

went with neck

proud plover
#

haha just had a thought, i charge 5k for r5 bracer but i should be charging ret pallies 10k

frigid lava
#

Neck is likely my next craft

wicked aurora
#

neck was simming as largest upgrade for crafting

#

@gaunt owl why sim weird, 33% haste and it made me re-enchant mastery

the tank pulled good too

#

its 99% of why i could pull it off

#

time for happy hour promised my friend it is time

frigid lava
#

I recently started running BS build..

#

I open charge->avatar->warbreaker->tc->troar->bs

#

doing it right?

proud plover
#

thats for big bladestorm damage yes or you can charge > tc > roar > cleave > bs > wb

frigid lava
#

wb after? hmmm

#

cleave is for the tier proc i guess

proud plover
#

yeah while buffed by huricane

wicked aurora
#

Not sure if you really wanna WB after BS

#

Assuming single bs build

proud plover
# frigid lava I open charge->avatar->warbreaker->tc->troar->bs

so to explain a little more - roar dot is 16 secs its upfront damage is small so its fine to send before - as long as its inside avatar (20 secs) and hurricane (6 secs) and wb (10 secs) you did max roar damage.
cleave to proc tier (8% bonus dam)
you can game for a big bladestorm by wb before OR you can game for a bigger hurricane window and op/cleave spam by sending wb right after

wicked aurora
#

Don’t think the maths mathing

#

You’re losing out on CDR on WB

proud plover
#

what by sending it inside bladestorm wqhen youy cant spend rage?

wicked aurora
#

That’s still time it’s ticking down

#

That adds up over the course of a key

frigid lava
#

I do WB before BS to have troar dots in the longest overlap window.

proud plover
#

^

#

its the same either way

fossil thistle
#

I think i do something along the lines of charge cleave Tclap avatar WB roar BS cleave SS op x2 cleave 🤔

proud plover
#

roar before, it saves you a global inside your wb for something else

neither do buff it

only tom buffs it but playing around that is dog

#

During execute should you be doing execute > execute > op > ms or just 3 executes

wicked aurora
#

Both

fossil thistle
#

Both

wicked aurora
#

Depends on your current rage

cold vigil
#

if you have rage to spend keep mashing exe

#

if not do OP to get rage

proud plover
#

40 rage exe
< 40 rage op

fossil thistle

#

If you have a friendly priest who gives you PI during execute window you can go brrr with executes

#

Priests will always be friendly and provide PI if you’re 30-35% of groups damage too 👀

frigid lava
#

PI messes up my rotation sometimes.

like... +100% haste

#

i saw one arms with dreamrender on my lvl(i dont have lego) and his dps was the same so i checked his dmg and saw 8% slam dmg

#

lol

proud plover
#

i mean in ST with extremly bad rng slam is a button to press - in s3 tier it was decent cause you didnt need to press tc

fossil thistle
#

^

cold vigil
#

havent played in s3

#

but here it just seems bad to press slam instead of tc

fossil thistle
#

If you have s3 tier still you would still be pressing it I guess

cold vigil
#

you can run out of rage and get yourself not spamming gcd for like a few seconds

fossil thistle
#

It does

proud plover
#

bad rng might have you with storm of swords ww and tc both on cd with no op charges

fossil thistle
#

Arms with low haste just feels bad ngl

proud plover
#

it happens

fossil thistle
#

That too

rose matrix
#

What is low haste for Arms?

fossil thistle
#

Press button is more dps then sitting at 80lbs he with nothing to press

Switched from fury tho this season. Never played arms till now

Yea get more haste

#

Honestly two big haste rings would probably be enough for it to play better for you

rose matrix
#

I was really lazy with M+ first week. Just gotta farm out some items

fossil thistle
#

I uh

#

May have done a lot of M+ (for me) to the point my back and neck are sore, and my hands feel swollen 😂

#

Probably about 20-25 keys this week, ran aberrus 3x and that was all after work play.
I’m off Saturday-Monday so with all this extra free time I guess I’ll just keep trying to farm rings and trinkets

proud plover
#

^ same

#

declined from +2's all day trying to get a ring/trinket/shoulders

I need hero rings, any s4 trinkets that are half decent, and a chest and instead I get 3 weapons

should i spam OP (dreadnaught) with SS on aoe?

what piece of gear do you not want to be set

obtuse bear
#

arms noob here, still learning on target dummy.

#

Do I have to spam overpower twice for max martial prowess before I cleave?

calm elm
#

If cleave is off and you have the rage in AoE you cleave, Martial prowess or not.

obtuse bear
#

Ok

#

Also I'm confused about Sweeping Strikes

#

Do I ever use it?

#

Only on 2 target fight?

#

Otherwise it's 3+ target = cleave?

calm elm
#

Use it in AoE as well. It makes OP do double the dreadnought waves.

obtuse bear
#

oh

#

So after I blow my cooldowns and bladestorm, I press sweeping into overpower into cleave

#

into whirlwind

#

something like that?

calm elm
#

If you have Fevor, which you probably should, first move would be WW out of your CD’s with Smash still rolling, then probably TC for rend, then SS / OP / Cleave.

obtuse bear
#

I don't have fervor.

#

I'm using the build from wowhead.

calm elm
#

Oh Storm

#

Not fevor, I may be sleep deprived.

#

Also you would skip the TC because of Bladestorm.

obtuse bear
#

I would charge, TC, avatar, smash, bladestorm.

#

then Sweeping, op then cleave.

#

is that correct?

agile dew
#

i would cleave early on to activate the 4 piece

somber lance
#

we play fervor in warlords torment BS build?

calm elm
#

In the giga AoE yes.

#

But all builds run Storm of Swords and it makes WW very good in AoE with Smash up.

somber lance
#

yeah i dont have fervor

calm elm
#

Well maybe not the full ST.

somber lance
#

from the archi build on wowhead

#

also i can drop endurance training for seismic?

obtuse bear
calm elm
agile dew
#

i do Charge > TC > Ava > WB > WW > Cleave > TR > HoI Trinket > Bladestorm into aoe rotation

calm elm
#

Though personally I would use it for DR reduction or something over seismic.

agile dew
#

you can fish 1 more cleave crit before bladestorming to secure the 8% dmg increase if your opener is too slow

obtuse bear
#

Okie thanks.

#

I'll try

#

There's just too many shit to press

calm elm
#

Yea the something being the crit, if I was taking out the Stamina for more damage.

obtuse bear
#

compared to fury

#

omg

#

information overload

somber lance
#

feels like everyone has a different opener as well....

obtuse bear
#

Yeah the information on wowhead isn't too good and there's like not much fixed information

#

Seems pretty fluid.

#

It's good but I mean not too clear.

calm elm
#

It’s generally three Tiers. MS and Cleave, always press those if they are up. Then OP, then WW and Thunderclap if you run out of OP.

#

But yea, compared to fury which us losely 5 buttons and one of them is the short CD and the other is I AoE now it does have a lot more going on.

obtuse bear
#

Does it make sense to macro WB + avatar together?

#

To try and save a button

naive sage
#

avatar is off the gcd

#

And syncing cds is almost always a good idea

wary raft
#

ideally u press them separately bc WB/CS has a slight delay but end of the day play how u want if u dnt care about min maxing

naive sage
#

Like 0.1 seconds

#

Which is not important at all

#

And saves you a key bind

wary raft
#

ok?

#

thats why I said "ideally" and "if you dont care about min max"

#

and told him to play how he wants

naive sage
#

What having 2 different buttons that in the end have the same purpose has to do with min maxing

wary raft
#

you save a global in avatar

naive sage
wary raft
#

sure thing man

#

I cba arguing this

naive sage
#

Avatar is off the gcd and is cast simultaneously with WB

#

That’s the purpose of the macro

#

What are you even talking about

wary raft
#

and if you press the global before the gcd is up for wb like everyone does

#

guess what you just lost a global

gaunt owl
#

cant really say its wasted

#

you used it

naive sage
#

The solution is not to spam buttons like a monkey

gaunt owl
#

i strongly advise against macro like this

naive sage
#

Which is like the simplest thing ever

somber lance
#

tbh i thought we used TR before WB so idk why you would macro them

gaunt owl
#

abilities that are on the GCD should never ever be macro

#

the few macro that are advised is the stance one

#

and some mouseover macro

naive sage
#

Honestly when I used 2 different buttons they desynced a lot more than having only 1

hazy flower
#

People think of too many macros

#

Like its gonna make the gameplay better

#

While saving 1 keybind

wary raft
#

if you fuck up your cd timing enough, the 1 button macro will help you

#

but just press your cds

#

on cd

#

and if we are talking about raid u dont really need to worry about cs likeing up with ava

still tapir
#

quick question guys . if we left deios hardmode unkilled . if we go back is it still hard mode or not

naive sage
#

I have avatar on the V key, warbreaker on 2, trinket on Shift-C, now tell me how spreading my hand across the keyboard or even worse change my muscle memory should be better that waiting until the gcd is off to press a single button that does all of the above

naive sage
wary raft
#

nobody mentioned anything about a trinket, also seems you should set your binds to be more comfortable

#

but again

still tapir
#

yea we spent 1hour on deios last night cause of a healer that was already oom before p2

wary raft
#

its a min max thing, so play however tf u want

#

if u dont care about it

still tapir
#

shammy

#

tank was hasty with his picks

hazy flower
#

Its hard on the tank but

#

It shouldnt be that hard on the healer

wary raft
#

but he will still be there yeah

still tapir
#

instead of ramping cloud burst , he just spam chain heal

hazy flower
wary raft
#

oh is it not? I thought it was mb

hazy flower
#

U can have 3000 deaths in hard mode

#

Deathless gives you myth track loot from last boss

naive sage
# wary raft its a min max thing, so play however tf u want

The thing that I’m trying to say is that if you don’t have your buttons really close you have to do quite the unnecessary movements and in the end you won’t get that much benefit from trying to min max. If you have for example avatar on Z and warbreaker on X then you’re perfectly fine, assuming you’re waiting for the gcd to go off

wary raft
#

I did deathless in s2 and thought it was what was considered hard mode of the dng

hazy flower
#

Hard mode hero from every

So what's the hardmode then?

naive sage
cyan lagoon
#

I thought it was throwing the 4 time pieces in the 4 portals spawned by deios

naive sage
#

But it goes like this
Regular run = champion loot
Hard mode with deaths = hero loot
Hard mode deathless = hero loot + myth loot from Deios only

naive sage
#

But do not trust my word

Hard mode is figuring out what the hard mode is

on AOE hybrid build, is there a way to keep rend up on all targets? feels meh to press TC

somber lance
#

EP stacks dont show as buffs right?

wary raft
#

debuff

latent moss
#

its a target debuff

#

they should make ep a buff and make it apply to cleave as well

#

imagine exe exe cleave

proud plover
#

just make cleave talent cause ms to cleave to all targets in front of you for damage split and have everything that interacts with ms interact with cleave

#

make it a choice node with damage bonus to ms as the other option so there is a clear st and aoe option

#

shit make it a choice node with eb

Guys, I have a question. I didn't quite understand what Archi wrote about Cleave in updates-dragonflight. "Only use Cleave with 2 stacks of Martial Prowess", but sometimes there is a GCD, where I don't have eighter OP, WW, TC or CDs with only 1 or 0 stacks of Martial Prowess. Should I send Cleave there anyway or do like Slam to wait for OP to give me the second stack of MP? :/

astral yarrow
#

Rather press something than nothing

sage badge
#

Could press rend if you need to apply/refresh.

#

This is why I prefer FoB over SD (and no storm of swords) for this situation. Whirlwind guarantees a reset.

#

Smooths out your aoe gameplay

astral yarrow
#

Hecking love FoB

olive nest
#

do you guys keep slam talents with fob

#

or just use it as a tool to build two mp stacks for cleave by reseting op

sage badge
#

I pick up crushing force. Drop bounding stride and overwhelming rage for it.

#

But can play without if you want utility.

#

Its mostly for tactician resets anyway

livid cloak
#

Where does Sudden death procs/execute fall in priority in aoe? I find myself hardly ever pressing it unless I have sweeping up and 4 targets or less

#

Is that right?

#

Doing OP, WW, tclap, and cleave instead

sage badge
#

Sounds about right

gaunt owl
#

if you go FoB you have to go for Slam talent

daring heron
#

yeah SD procs are mostly ignored in aoe unless you're trying to maximise prio damage

gaunt owl
#

or no points doing it either

livid cloak
