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
Cuz what's the point of killing 10 mobs but still have 1 large mob at 50% hp
like aa near tree
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
and MS up to 4?
3
(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
Or bird pulls in Neltharus
But my pad!
Hate padding.
Yeah I'm just joking lol
I was just following along dw
then play bstorm, hurricane, mbg, cleave and fob
I do play BS because it's the only way I do damage
And lose to tank in ST dmg
I am a very bad warrior
Time to git gud
oh and collat


YOOO what should arms damage breakdown in M+ look like
You only need 1 item to drop from raid
You got 2 catalyst charges + 1 ksm/atoc token
Depends on key
depends on the build
This is 521k from Algethar
also actually does depend on the tank
This is 525k (with Aug) in Ruby
This isn’t wrong though
Honestly so much in keys is very tank dependant
And DN/DW 3rd
A tank pulls like two mobs when roar is up is....actual depression
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
scream oops, leap into pack with dbts running. and charge back to tanks mobs

Sword and board arms time
I'm extremely efficient in using dbts when the tank dies
My arms warrior stole from fury
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)
In HoI when the final boss turns and looks at you 
I can't tank worth a shit
Tanked a +9 algethar and did 300k dps, literally competing with the other dps for overall and beating 2 others on ST
Why I play dps
I was off my chair
No aug?
No aug
pwar goes bur
ulda key
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
im just blasting +2's for gear tho
running 2pc only as prot and 2+2pc as arms atm
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?
yes sims factor in everything
RIP 483 brand, see you again next week
longer fights band gets better
Well, sims also average out augury
And signet will absolute turbo win on longer fights
what is the time on a "longer" fiht
if your fights are sub 4 mins run augury+anvil = fights over 4 mins you want brand + anvil imo
Anvil follows the same principle as signet
With the caveat that anvil isn't rng in how many stacks you get how quickly
its > signet on shorter fights tho
Dunno, first season of having both be relevant
what are the cool kids using to sim for dungeons? dungeon slice? or x targets y mins?
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
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
Just turbo high-roll signet and full stack to 15 in 1.5min
(I've had that already happen multiple times and it's hilarious)
I have puzzle and irideus. was surprised irideus beat out puzzle in dungeon slice (sandglass as second slot trinket)
Double on-use kinda cringe
But the turbo loaded use of irideus in a 6min sim probably makes it look extremely good
sandglass isn't on use though
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
did someone say puzzle box? 
Beg
nah xD it's my alt now warrior ran enough AV on my lock to get the tome . 33 runs
why is ruby trinket simming well?
Ruby Whelp? Because it's not terrible, but it's somewhat irrelevant given the bullion system
Rumbling ruby? Because it does uncapped aoe damage
yea i was simming for arms and it was simming better than puzzle box
And it increases atk power
no ruby whelp
after a key
That is largely dependent on the key / pulls etc., but yeh
If you have new 4pc
MS should be upfront
Then yes it should be up there
i thought it was a meme trinket, but then i saw people using it and i was like wtf
Ruby whelp shell if trained correctly can be really good
But it's basically a gambling trinket
prolly the best they have atm tho
I hate to be that guy, but which Oathstone do I bind to for Arms?
ok cool good to know, i will try it out if i stumble upon it
sim it
Do you use Cleave durin your ss?
DN season 
Yes. at 5+ targets
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?
I think double bs isn’t really common anymore
If you play double bladestorm, then yeah. You want to bladestorm at the end of hurricane to extend it.
Are the wowhead talents for M+ up to date?
yes
no
like, i don't have time in my rotation to use it as a spender
its around 5-10k dps
Take it off the bar
loss
Slam is literally "hey use this if EVREYTHING is on CD"
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?
well in the event you ran out of op, sos ww on cd - send tc to refresh rend - if you hit a point in aoe when you need to press slam just delete warrior tbh
i mean even in st perssing tc will refresh rend + reset op
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
guys is it smart to put avatar and roar on a macro to reduce button ?
bladestroms power is the hurricane buff (30%) str so do you want big beefy bladtrestorm damage or beefy damage after it
id um charge weave or something at that point lol
mostly yes it's fine, but at times you'll still want separate bindings for some builds or scenarios, so you can if you want to
im 4pc next week if i loot shoulders otherwise im catalysting my haste/mast pants
Got gloves and pants to send in
i still have a charge atm, can cata helm but no point atm cause will be 3pc
at least it's promised next week for ya 🎉
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?
because sim only cares about damage and you gain a slight ap bonus from the additional armor
what is converting armor to ap in arms?
"armored to the teeth" talent, the node right above Avatar
ty. So you all are running this enchant then? or the survivability more important for high keys
stam 100%
dead dps will do less damage than alive dps, even if those dead dps had an extra 14 str
Man yall ever feel like crap gearing luck holds you back?
yes
i didn't get a single max weapon one season in shadowlands 
#still using a 483 ring because i havent had a single one drop
I can't get a damn neck to drop
ive had like 8 pairs of boots tho
no doubt ill get 4 rings in vault next week tho
to be replaced by raid ring week after
How it do gamers, we slapping this fine evening, getting the gear, doing the dam or something
k i think i gotta work on my rotation
Looks great(DoT)
say again 
Damn, unfortunate (DoT)
i'm also using two trinkets that are awful
hey does anyone know if we are able to the currency for "the power of dreams" helm enchant quest from bosses on multiple difficulties?
For M+
i just did a full normal run
Idol of Trampling Hooves and Blazebinder Hoof
deswind are u running BS or jugger
and wondering if it i can finish it in heroic this week
this was +7 BH
nobody queueing for my keys 😦
good evening Skyhold
Neither. Just FoB
reallY? just cuz of fort i take it?
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?
is there any reward above 2k M+?
just dungeon portals for 10 if you dont have them already, and then title if you're a very top-end player
cleave does not benefit from Sweeping Strikes, but cleave is what procs your Season 4 tier bonus
it's also your AoE spencer spell in 5+ target scenarios
thanks Hrothmar
@sage badge would that be only for fort week?
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
Maybe. It has good single target as well.
You WW as filler to proc tactician resets
Gotta love getting punished for not want to respawn while being camped by two bot hunters
hmm ill give er a try
Yes. It’s been solid for MT. Less so for ST.
my raidbots prioritizes cleave even at 4+ somehow
in SS
even at +3 actually
Wait, are you supposed to stack overpower twice for cleave/mortal strike or just use them on cd reset
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
ive been trying to do the switch from fury to arms
when im simming, my 4p with fury is barely worse than my 4p with arms: see sims
arms: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/rcPtjp1ve5ygNaoUAoXnBH
fury: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7nG7iXGFeVMQRBdXjmaWcd
am i messing up somewhere? i used the arms m+ spec from wowhead
is it the fact its an aoe build used on a ST?
you are using annihilator with s2 fury set? Something is very off
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
I mean, since you fucked up with fury build, fury should do way less damage than arms, somehow it didn't happen
because in those sims yourr arms warrior is using a 502 ilvl leggo and the fury sim is using a 522 leggo
update sim to both use 522 and see a big difference
my DN is never that high
Feels like I'm doing something wrong or maybe im not using OP as much 
op/dn with ss is your aoe, using cleave and bladestom only buffs it (hurricane and tier)
Fucking lol'd Jesus Christ
I will forever remain SmallDan in your presence
+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
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
isnt the shockwave very useful for m+? since the standard wowhead build doesnt have it
It can be useful and a life saver, depending on tank and group comp and its only a 1-2% dps loss from cruel strikes to take it
whats the good uptime for BSL?
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
Where
man i just really dont like ignore pain
wish we would have never gotten it and just received a stamina buff in the tree
i mean either keys or raid
Im deciding on what embellishment is for next week
lariat or BSL neck
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
Thats why im asking about BSL
Im crafting a neck next week, wether its torc with BSL or Lariat
Is there any wa to track if tier active? I dont find anyone
You can make one to track the buff spell ID
I'm pretty sure someone here has a personal note on me that says "Do not trust their sims"
because i was tempted to craft my second embellishment item this week, but not sure if BSL, lariat or something else would be the best
r u a big boy liar? or is it because you threaten the simulator with your knife
I may have been accidentally simming a dual wieldings Arms war wondering where all my extra damage was coming from

just to confirm, we cast TR before smash because we don't care about initial dmge on TR?
Fight me 
im about to macro IP into OP
correct, as long as the dot is inside you cooldowns
TR?
thundeous roar
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
ms > exex3 > ms or ms > 2xexe + 1op > ms
what build isnt using ep?
we dont care about 2 stacks of EP with m+ build?
every build uses ep
for m+ specifically
Yeah but requires ti know the expected uptime on bal
mbg over ep wow
no mass either, they just full send aoe for buffed cleaves
as to those rules, no idea
its just execute spam iirc
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
ethical dps v aoe pad
exactly
Is dungeon slice the way to go for simming for m+?
he may have went ham and cheese during add pulls, but i always pulled ahead on bosses
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
fury isnt all that far behind in m+, it's just turbo ass in raid
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
fury is amazing in m+ with the right tank pulling 1 pack at a time

5t cleave king
yeah thats the issue is I have good tanks they pull 3-4 packs that target limit was starting to reeaaaly hurt
give us any sort of single target priority tho and we pull ahead
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
its better in 1-3t and 6t+ arms > fury
been bouncing back and forth between the 2.....pug tanks i've had for 14's are terrified of bolstering and pulling small
but why bring a fury fo 5t when rogues, and rets exist right
bring the player xd
why bring a warrior at all if ur meta'ing
noxiv looks like hes doing fine
not even meta comps
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
im just happy its not arms s2 because that made me swap to fury then bench warr for aug
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
from all the arms i played in s3, the tier bonus was fun
hey guys I enjoy my fury war's simple rotation but I wanna try arms. Is that one about the same difficulty?
mortal strike
i like s3 arms, i like the build diversity of s1 arms
arms is more difficult for sure
ok, i sleep
why is the st build on wowhead different from the most popular st build on archon?
not difficult at all
yeah arms is only ever hard when rage managment exists, it hasnt pretty much since s1
I mean, considering everything past ms op and execute are just wonky rage dumps they arent super hard to consider
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
both of these sound pretty fun
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
fun is subjective - both are fairly simple
haha yeah let my weak aura tell me when to press something!
is slam garbo for season 4?
yeeeep s3 was so much more engaging to me personally lol you actually got rewarded with no gcd gaps if you did the rotation correctly lol
it's wild how people will be cringe and just not invite you even when you crank
It’s gonna vary a lot. 25% on mythic sennarth, 82% in a weekly key. About 40-45% on other progress bosses (although it was high in Aberrus)
yes in aoe you never -press it and in st you almost neve press it (5m sims used slam twice)
not sure why most popular st build on archon has 2 talent points on crushing force
its so low on the priority list you almost never hit it, I think i saw a guy slam once in a 10min fight lol
I played with a big arms warr in brackenhide +10 yesterday, he had over 600k overall ;O
what tinkets are you guys prio for M+?
sounds like a giga chad
he was! 😛
gigachad *tank
puzzle is huge for M+
I just wanna do a 10 RLP man, it's the only dungeon I don't have a teleport for this season and I can't land a group 😦
I can't believe me typing "Big dong" in my application note isn't getting me invited

they are scared of your magnum dong !
i'm 99% sure i get invited because my ilvl is huge
dont look at them they got dented doing too many m+

thing about top m+ warriors is you arent running the stuff they are
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
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
cause pulling 7+ packs onto something and sending lust so pad aoe > st execute/ms
tue
have fun bolstering the giga target
so you set yourself up for failure
the first few week
dont look at top raider.io
by the time they kill said giga turet bolstering has droppeed off
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
But Ppaww, bizentein is running double BS it must be good !
yeah I'm a baby, only 510
look
515
Maybe I will get leggo next week... then probably still have to wait another week for upgrade.
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
gloves and bracers are the only things I have left at under 500ilvl
hit 2000 score and exchange the token for a heroic tier
but bracers are getting recrafted up to 525 next week
I just recrafted the bracer today.
went with neck
haha just had a thought, i charge 5k for r5 bracer but i should be charging ret pallies 10k
Neck is likely my next craft
neck was simming as largest upgrade for crafting
@gaunt owl why sim weird, 33% haste and it made me re-enchant mastery

I need a mouse by the way... right click feels weird as hell in the game.
it clicks intermittently
its because of the many little haste break point
if you dont get the right amount of it, robot just ignore it 😄
I'm currently on logitech 502. I want to try a new brand. Any recommendation
my stats are...interesting lol
logitech g600, get you them buttons
I've been using logitechs since the 90s. Very reliable... but somehow it feels very weird with right click. Is it the software... or wtf
it started this week.
it clicks off target sometimes... hella annoying
cuz u know... u kinda hold on to those buttons as u move around.
That happens with the 502 (the ones I've had anyways ) the clicker wears out eventually and it's a real pain to use in wow. I usually get about two good years out of the mouse before that happens
Funny.. it's actually my 2nd one.
First one lasted years without issue... and this one is only 3months old
I haven't managed to kill a g600 yet
Im on my third. Luckily this one has lasted about three years
but idk if they even make them still
Yep i@think some are lemons
This reels 447 ilvl stats lmao
Guess I stepped on a lemon
There is a two year manufacturers warranty on it I think? Might be able to get a free one sent to you if you go thru the customer support
I'm in Korea right now and this is a bulk not retail
Ahhh 😦
Gl 😉
lol hi 😛
the tank pulled good too
its 99% of why i could pull it off
time for happy hour promised my friend it is time
I recently started running BS build..
I open charge->avatar->warbreaker->tc->troar->bs
doing it right?
thats for big bladestorm damage yes or you can charge > tc > roar > cleave > bs > wb
yeah while buffed by huricane
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
what by sending it inside bladestorm wqhen youy cant spend rage?
I do WB before BS to have troar dots in the longest overlap window.
I think i do something along the lines of charge cleave Tclap avatar WB roar BS cleave SS op x2 cleave 🤔
roar before, it saves you a global inside your wb for something else
^
Fair
I know I have little bits to improve. I tend to be around 375-400k overall
507 4pc last season trinkets sad
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
Both
Both
depends on your rage
Depends on your current rage
40 rage exe
< 40 rage op
^
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 👀
jus don't be old
exe exe ms
exe exe exe ms
Oh1
i got another question i almost forgot
does recklesness from CS and Avatar stack duration?
or overwrite?
adds to
ok
yep
arms ftw
20% crit and 100% rage gen
Recklessness makes brrr become BRRR
cosmetic rage bar
cosmic rage bar 😄
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
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
^
If you have s3 tier still you would still be pressing it I guess
you can run out of rage and get yourself not spamming gcd for like a few seconds
It does
bad rng might have you with storm of swords ww and tc both on cd with no op charges
Arms with low haste just feels bad ngl
it happens
That too
What is low haste for Arms?
Press button is more dps then sitting at 80lbs he with nothing to press
learn to charge weave, you will need it again in tww
I like to be around 34%+
sub 30% is low
yeah fuck that lol
I think currently in my M+ fear I’m 46/42/21/17
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
I was really lazy with M+ first week. Just gotta farm out some items
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
Brudder same
I need hero rings, any s4 trinkets that are half decent, and a chest and instead I get 3 weapons
The archon website looks so much worse than the other one they bought imo
I do prefer that website for sure. Archon has a lot of info but I feel the layout is kinda messy
should i spam OP (dreadnaught) with SS on aoe?
yes
what piece of gear do you not want to be set
legs
arms noob here, still learning on target dummy.
Do I have to spam overpower twice for max martial prowess before I cleave?
If cleave is off and you have the rage in AoE you cleave, Martial prowess or not.
Ok
Also I'm confused about Sweeping Strikes
Do I ever use it?
Only on 2 target fight?
Otherwise it's 3+ target = cleave?
Use it in AoE as well. It makes OP do double the dreadnought waves.
oh
So after I blow my cooldowns and bladestorm, I press sweeping into overpower into cleave
into whirlwind
something like that?
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.
Oh Storm
Not fevor, I may be sleep deprived.
Also you would skip the TC because of Bladestorm.
I would charge, TC, avatar, smash, bladestorm.
then Sweeping, op then cleave.
is that correct?
i would cleave early on to activate the 4 piece
we play fervor in warlords torment BS build?
In the giga AoE yes.
But all builds run Storm of Swords and it makes WW very good in AoE with Smash up.
yeah i dont have fervor
Well maybe not the full ST.
meaning i cleave first before popping bladestorm?
Eh, I mean yes it would be more damage, but the 5% does apply to IP and can help save your ass in higher keys.
i do Charge > TC > Ava > WB > WW > Cleave > TR > HoI Trinket > Bladestorm into aoe rotation
Though personally I would use it for DR reduction or something over seismic.
you can fish 1 more cleave crit before bladestorming to secure the 8% dmg increase if your opener is too slow
Yea the something being the crit, if I was taking out the Stamina for more damage.
feels like everyone has a different opener as well....
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.
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.
Of course
avatar is off the gcd
And syncing cds is almost always a good idea
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
?
Like 0.1 seconds
Which is not important at all
And saves you a key bind
ok?
thats why I said "ideally" and "if you dont care about min max"
and told him to play how he wants
What having 2 different buttons that in the end have the same purpose has to do with min maxing
you save a global in avatar
No lol
Avatar is off the gcd and is cast simultaneously with WB
That’s the purpose of the macro
What are you even talking about
and if you press the global before the gcd is up for wb like everyone does
guess what you just lost a global
The solution is not to spam buttons like a monkey
i strongly advise against macro like this
Which is like the simplest thing ever
tbh i thought we used TR before WB so idk why you would macro them
they talking about Avatar / WB
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
Honestly when I used 2 different buttons they desynced a lot more than having only 1
People think of too many macros
Like its gonna make the gameplay better
While saving 1 keybind
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
quick question guys . if we left deios hardmode unkilled . if we go back is it still hard mode or not
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
No I can tell it for sure because I fucked it up with some guildmates
nobody mentioned anything about a trinket, also seems you should set your binds to be more comfortable
but again
yea we spent 1hour on deios last night cause of a healer that was already oom before p2
Healer oom? 💀
if u died the hard mode should be fucked, I think it still drops champion gear though? im unsure havent done it this patch
but he will still be there yeah
instead of ramping cloud burst , he just spam chain heal
Hard mode is not same as deathless
oh is it not? I thought it was mb
U can have 3000 deaths in hard mode
Deathless gives you myth track loot from last boss
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
I did deathless in s2 and thought it was what was considered hard mode of the dng
Hard mode hero from every
No, that’s the deathless run that drops myth gear. If you do the hard mode instance with dying, you get hero loot
Cant recall season 2 because I didnt do it back then but yeah, I did hard mode on thursday a week ago and we were clowning a bit (hunt didnt feign death iridk so killed 3 people) and got hero from everything ye
Correction, drops myth gear from last boss only
well, when someone is asking advice on what is optimal, im not going to ask them what their binds are and if they make sure they do everything right prior to just telling them what is optimal to the best of my ability and I have to trust they understand how to press the keybindings they set
Yes ofc
thats dope, had no idea of the difference
perhaps ill have to go there
yeah idk I dont remember the differentiation between hard mode and deathless ever being a thing in my experience, but I never did doti a huge amount, just made sure to get achieve and mog 
So what's the hardmode then?
At the beginning of the dungeon there is some kind of role play with Nozdormu and Chromie but tbh I do not know exactly how to do it
I thought it was throwing the 4 time pieces in the 4 portals spawned by deios
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
That’s for the achievement I think
But do not trust my word
on AOE hybrid build, is there a way to keep rend up on all targets? feels meh to press TC
only press tc
EP stacks dont show as buffs right?
debuff
its a target debuff
they should make ep a buff and make it apply to cleave as well
imagine exe exe cleave
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
What best race for m+
Dwarf or nelf
Whatever race looks coolest to you. 

I'm gnome
gnelf
Is dark iron as good as normal
Almost
Slightly worse in terms of dps. Not enough to matter
Since it wants u to press it for stats rather than purely defensive
Is it me or its just impossible to pug into +8 key?
Crit whens the race change to gnome
so people used to say race is only cosmetic but I simmed all races yesterday and there is actually 10k dps gap between tauren and vuplera
pretty significant
About 200 other dps players signing for that key, 50 with 300 io on you and 30 with 10 ilvls on you 
i mean i try to reg +8 myself and have a dead reg 🙂
Im 518 2500 still using my key
Wtf does reg mean
Because it takes me 20m to find a 10
lfg lobby
I’m still clueless 😦
this thing
im 20min queue rn waiting for a tank - halls 9
fuck it better play another game
maybe people dont remember that bolstering is from 10 and higher
If your 2100 io applying to somebody’s key that is 2800 of course they’re going to ignore you
It is what it is
Oh, yeh, but same thing applies. You might have lower io than the other key holders so you are less attractive 🤷♀️
im reging into +8s hello
Gotta keep up with score or you’re going to have a harder time getting invited
Not even our Russian knows what it is
🤷♀️
Do you mean que?
yep
Ahh
Yeah its rough trying to get into keys. I zoomed mine up to a plus 12 and couldn't get any apps so I had to drop it back down to a 9 before people started apping
its weird tho
So reg is que in some form of communication got it
It's weird rn
cuz any russian community knows what does it mean
Idk. We picked up the guy from some wr 300 guild I think
I have only played a little this season but arms seems really fun rn
true
Get that Mongo trading post sword
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? :/
Rather press something than nothing
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
Hecking love FoB
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
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
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
Sounds about right
like Deswind said
if you go FoB you have to go for Slam talent
yeah SD procs are mostly ignored in aoe unless you're trying to maximise prio damage
or no points doing it either
👍 ty
thanks for the info I'm going to give it a "whirl"
sd procs always get wasted in keys it feels like so having a tool to reset op sounds nice
love DN
do you cleave
surely u do for 4p right
like op cleave spam and ww for tactician
I cleave at the start for 4p. Then OP > Cleave prio
MS owns. Looks fine to me
i have good rng with augury it saved me well in s3
its still my best trink even tho its booboo for arms xd
ms fucks
Good pro dmg
Augury fks for me too
Prio*
well you have to consider augury doesnt give strength
i bet you arms boys are flooded with questions now that all the furries are switching for s4
It doesn’t feel like more than usual
most of them probably rerolled monk
Voting s2 will do that.
hey all, as a semi casual with limited number of Aspect crest, is it better to upgrade legendary or craft my pieces first?
what priortiy does execute take on a mob in exe range in a pack of mobs in a key? let say 4+
Legendary
lego ofc
ty
DN dmge on details is just the shockwave right?
Yes
Low in aoe. Pretty much filler unless you want to prio kill a target.
im assuming it changes when 3 and under when were going back to ms?
Deswind did you check the diff between OP -> Cleave spamming
Compared to Cleave with 2x MP
In raw aoe its 1% diff
Arms in a nutshell
fury players dooming over boss damage when the point of the spec for the past idk how many expansions was to deal with the adds
But spending OP first does more prio
yeah was okay on diurna and rasz 
I think it’s more just people who enjoy fury more than anything having what they enjoy harder to do content with 🤷♀️
ah so i can actually just spam cleave and OP on 3+ targets like a dent? without looking at MP?
It could be worse. They could be assa rogues.
Yet still you get kicked just after being invited when they see you're arms (like it happened yesterday to me)
My old guilds rogue is really enjoying assa in dungeons because of the sudden demise talent
haha arm pvp spec xd
compared to what? fury? arms is objectively better in all content atm
Unbelievable how much damage has wotlk done to the people's brain
They do not know
i think under 5 targets sweeping ms is > cleave ?
The spec itself isn’t bad, the tuning is
arms just has shit reputation
with sweeping its 5 yes. was just referring to whithout
True, although it misses one ST combo point spender imo, envenom is strong but not enough
So basically, you can prioritize cleave first in aoe which is mostly 1% gain. While spending OP gives you 4%~ priority damage. So its a tradeoff. In large pulls like tree boss trash in academy, cleave prio can be better.
Yeah, just like fury. Doesn’t mean it can’t be enjoyed. I’ve enjoyed arms more most of this xpac and have played it after progress regardless of whether it’s good or not
Somehow it ends up getting buffed every tier
Already way too button bloated.
5% ms, 5% dn eks dee
And this is also true, but it feels a bit crippled to me as a spec
Thank you Deswin
Long dot specs will do that. Why feral feels way better gameplay wise imo
Ferocious bite goes 
Is fyralath drop rate increased since s4?
Deeznaughts
i just got rid of alchemical flavor pocket T_T
detials name are only shown for guildies sadly
now i'm Dented
but only my guildmates can enjoy the dent
there was a wa
“Where leggo”
that showed it to everyone
Tried to put more focus on DN
can only do so much about this
whats important is checking some of your buff uptime too
like if you didnt get it by anything you can avoid
to keep BSL going
This guy always talks shit about me, just ignore him
Bigger number bigger titles
I can't stop spinning chief
the one you can get
its all about simming right now even more than ever with all that DR
i have Uldaman one
you gonna end up with the 2 rings from Vault anyway
droptimizer yourself... NOW!
halls ring was like +5k for me but i also couldnt fit 2 wws into a cs with the amt of haste i had
its ok WW into CS doesnt matter anymore Sponguis
gamers, post ur arms st sims

just buy it in 2 weeks
4Head
hes simming wrong consumables aswell
okay, then what?
literally doesnt matter who it goes to
this is true but I want it 🥹
don't do this, take some time to figure out how the simulationcraft addon works and how you can use it to sim your gear choices on raidbots.com
btw with old tier (s3) and new tier (s4) rotation remain same ye?
I mean if you get simulationcraft addon just go in game and type /simc and copy the text and paste it into top gear or quick sim
hi guys, would the pure single target opener including leggo be: charge, ms, leggo, avatar, cs, tr, clap? ty in advance
Charge > Leggo > TR > Avatar+CS > Pot+MS > TC
ty mate
If you have Puzzle you cast before charge
got it, so roar doesn't get buffed by avatar?
🤝
You can check on raidbots doing "Quick Sim" aswell
will do, thanks again
This
How many of you are recrafting your bracers next week? 😂
most likely to upgrade them !
I gotta sim how much of a DPS loss it would be to run the frostfire belt versus the bracers. I need to be able to wear my eng bracers
Just craft BSL cloak or smth
frostfire belt is garbanzo for sure
any of you guys know what the fuck that is?
tank spell xd
ouch
Does this damage profile make sense for a dungeon? Just swapped to arms this patch, I used cleave quite often so im not sure why its not that high is it just shit outside of a few big packs and thats why? I did use MS for 3 or lower target fights, maybe coulda had more ss uptime
What ilvl r u
BSL Ring
What slot for a flavor packet? Anyone else thinking of using a craftde slot for one right now for the convenience?
and 525 vers wrists this week
is ~260k dungeon dps good for a 507 ilevel arms(no lego)?
kinda hard to give accurate answer
i was 509 with 528 non lego doing around 350-500k depending on dungeon and pull size
for reference
do we still cast BS on ST in exe phase?
The wowhead guide suggests cleave but then doesn't put it in the aoe rotation
Is it just on CD?
when more than 4 targets afaik
