Hmm ok

cold vigil
#

from icy veins

#

against 3 targets or +5 if ss active

#

though this suggests also using bonegrinder below so don't look at it

#

is it good to have blacksmithing on your arms just for the repair?

minor gust
#

Bis will always be alchemy for increased phial duration

#

going from 30 min to 1:30 is pretty sick

cold vigil
#

so alchemy and blacksmithing?

sage badge
cold vigil
#

yeah dreadnought is fun

rough pewter
#

guys can u make a macro for puzzlebox+bs like back in season1? i did but seems to be not working

latent hull
#

Its fixed

rare kite
latent hull
#

Oh

#

I thought someone said it was fixed

rough pewter
#

i see thank you. bcoz of gcd i guess

minor gust
#

Puzzlebox never worked with BS

#

it was always Avatar BS

rough pewter
#

thank you guys

proud plover
#

no longer works with avatar bladestorm eitherr - cast it before

#

all your cleave questions have been answered in #updates-midnight - only send it with 2x op buff

cyan lagoon
#

Arms rotation has me questioning my mental faculties

#

so many damn buttons to press

proud plover
#

nah press ms

exotic kestrel
#

aoe or st?

#

coz sT is very straughtforward

proud plover
#

ms go BURRR

cyan lagoon
#

Idk where to even begin asking questions

#

like

#

Which ability has highest prio for multitarget

#

OP?

gray steeple
#

Have you read the guides? Rotation section?

exotic kestrel
#

during Sweeping strikes mostly yes

exotic kestrel
cyan lagoon
#

Icy Veins, for example, has OP at cast number 10

#

and SS while bladestorming

#

which is completely wrong

exotic kestrel
#

i think ur just reading it wrong

gaunt owl
cyan lagoon
#

So those are not the cast sequences but rather priorities?

exotic kestrel
#

yes

#

its all priority's

cyan lagoon
#

so then WW is our top prio and OP is on 10th place?

exotic kestrel
#

no, WW is a big prio during Warbreaker

exotic kestrel
#

if u wanna boil it down very basically u do =>
During sweeping strikes :

  • ms on CD
  • OP as much as u can while maintaining DW with cleave and Rend with TC

Outside of sweeping :
if u want prio dmg u still MS on CD, else u spend more globals on cleave

#

and i honestly end up mostly pressing WW somewhat close to on CD

#

but then again im by no means a giga player

cyan lagoon
#

This is going to take some time to get used to

wind flicker
#

During sweeping u only want to MS on <=4 unless prio target

stiff wedge
#

Don’t stress about target count for now

exotic kestrel
#

pressing MS on cd during SS is never a bad choice i feel like

stiff wedge
#

You have enough in your brain trying to figure out just pushing buttons. Counting monsters is just gonna make it more confusing

gaunt owl
#

prio dmg this week is really important

latent hull
#

How much should i use overpower

exotic kestrel
#

alot

proud plover
#

op should be your most cast spell

naive sage
flat vine
novel hollow
#

Doing 350-450k depending dung

#

At 502

#

With leggo

stiff wedge
#

Depends so much on the tank pulls and the group

inner wasp
#

so i still don't understand arms aoe xd

somber lance
#

so not big arms player?

inner wasp
#

im the biggest arms player

#

but what do i do when ss is down

somber lance
#

its the same prio except the target count goes from 5 to 3

#

between MS and cleave prio

inner wasp
#

ya idk the 5/3 target prio..

#

the prio list on wowhead gives me an aneurism every time i look at it

somber lance
#

use MS over cleave when theres less than 5 targets (with SS up) and with less than 3 targets (when ss is down)

#

but also depends if you want more prio damage MS is better

#

since it chunks your target

gusty nymph
#

anyone has a WA set bonus tracker. the one on wago does not work

inner wasp
somber lance
#

warrior player after all

inner wasp
#

so target count changes ms/cleave priority

#

does it change anything other priority

#

like is execute still just filler if u cant press anything else

olive oracle
#

Do i spam execute during execute phases? Im so lost

#

or just a filler to use OP and MS

ornate eagle
#

You have 3gcds between mortal strikes

#

So you execute -> execute -> op -> Ms

#

When you're below 40 rage you send OP

olive oracle
#

Okay thanks :)!

inner wasp
#

i thought u always prio ms over exe?

somber lance
#

yeah

#

but MS has a cd

stiff wedge
#

You basically are in execute still

inner wasp
#

op over exe*

#

not ms

ornate eagle
#

Nah

#

This is for st execute

#

Not for aoe

odd mist
#

Guys what is the best opener for M+ in a multi target(6+targets) scenario? I got really confused reading the guide on wow head. I don’t know when to cast TR e when to use cleave to activate the tier set bonus.

inner wasp
#

so in low target count aoe do i still press cleave over whirlwind

ornate eagle
#

You ww on CD

olive oracle
#

I checked the rank 1 arms warrior on kazarha hellforged mythic raid and his 2nd highest ability was execute 20% isn't that kinda weird?

inner wasp
#

i thought ww was low on the prio list 😭

ornate eagle
#

You cleave on 4+ with SS down, and 7+ with SS up

inner wasp
#

so on 3 or less with ss down i just dont press it at all

ornate eagle
#

Ww spends big rage and does good damage, that's why you just send it on cd

#

Yeh there you send MS over cleave

#

Only cleave as filler when you can't MS

inner wasp
#

what if im out of buttons? tc over cleave?

#

ah

ornate eagle
#

TC to keep up rend

#

It's a bit of a hassle

#

But you'll get a the hang of it!

inner wasp
#

the ? was more accurate

#

having an actual aoe rotation different from the st rotation hurts my fury brain...

stiff wedge
#

(Big fury player)

ornate eagle
#

Eh

#

The aoe rotation is mostly your ST rotation

#

You just start cleaving when it's many red health bars

#

If it's not that many red healthbars, cleave is just a filler

inner wasp
#

many red healthbar cleave... less red healthbar less cleave

#

me understand

ornate eagle
inner wasp
#

but what if ms resets

ornate eagle
#

MS

#

Since you don't have juggernaut

#

So MS does more damage

regal quiver
#

am i suposed to use rend in the rotation? or just apply it with the other abilities?

inner wasp
#

apply w/ clap

ornate eagle
#

Only apply rend in pure ST

inner wasp
#

oh

ornate eagle
#

But you can also just send TC

#

The difference is basically non-existent

inner wasp
#

man i am NOT putting rend on my bars

#

im not even putting slam on my bars, u cant make me put rend on my bars

regal quiver
#

alr thx, just wondering cuz then i can get an extra slot in my bars lol

minor gust
#

feel free to remove rend and full send with TC

#

its not a big deal at all

regal quiver
#

been a fury player all my life but fury with this set is just miserable so im trying out arms

exotic kestrel
#

welcome to the good side

inner wasp
#

"fury with this set is miserable" fury with this set is how fury has been for yrs xd
everybody hated annihilator until they were forced to use it now they cant go back ..

minor gust
#

Fury in M+ still slaps with the S2 set its just struggling on pure ST boss dmg

exotic kestrel
#

fury is alsways miserable

which is not a big deal cuz its a meme season

that aint no rework thats a tragedy

limpid current

is cataclysmic signet and OCE bis this tier for ST?

inner wasp
#

should i just switch to windwalker

exotic kestrel
#

Honestly i very much like most of current arms, it just has some issues

Arms in aoe = 30 million buttons

exotic kestrel

thats one yeh

gray steeple
exotic kestrel
#

on alpha theyve fixed our atrocious rage econ

minor gust
#

I enjoyed the arms gameplay in DF mostly it just needed some help. I loved the insane rage gain and warlords torment on CS it was very fun we just needed a way to spend it

exotic kestrel
#

and with them seeming to move cleave forward more as our go to aoe button thats looking positive aswell

minor gust
#

but no blizz is like nope lets go back to no rage

limpid current
rapid cedar
#

I'm gonna say it. I loved wod version of both fury and arms.

Arms was a slow spec with big hits.
Fury was a crit monster

minor gust
#

In the first blue post I think blizz mentioned warriors should have to manage rage but like what classes actually have to manage their resource. Mana hasnt existed for casters in years and Energy/CP are completely flooded and steroided these days. but yet warrior having to much rage is bad

regal quiver
#

damn i need an addon to keep track of which buffs i have active for the rotation or this is hell lol

daring gazelle
#

MoP was best iteration of fury

rapid cedar
#

Mop was also good

#

Kinda same as wod

#

But with cs

WoD Fury blew until T18 and the stats to support it.

# rapid cedar Arms in aoe = 30 million buttons

AoE simple breakdown:
Thunderclap to rend, Roar on cooldown, Cleave for 4p, Avatar+WB, Whirlwind (SoS), Bladestorm.
After that, you mostly want to: Cleave at 2 MP > WW(sos) > OP > TClap
Can simplify target count so 3T with sweeping is when you MS/Execute.

You lose a bit of min/max at the 4-5 target range, but not enough to think about it often.

what color do we take in AA?

arctic iris
# minor gust In the first blue post I think blizz mentioned warriors should have to manage ra...

Other classes and specs do have to manage their resources, in the sense that their resources determine their decisions. Right now arms barely has that because we are so often flooded with rage that the answer is just to mash whatever deals the most damage, and not look at our rage bar.

If rage generation is lower, it gives more room for us to do things like choose to use overpower or even bladestorm to stall and give time for rage generation instead of those being the abilities that make you overcap

sage badge
#

Which would be bronze for haste, red for vers

strange perch
#

I usually take vers but wastn sure

arctic iris
# strange perch what color do we take in AA?

I would generally recommend vers, it's virtually identical to other stats in terms of damage but also gives survivability in a dungeon with a couple of fights that can hurt a lot on higher keys

sage badge
#

Either works. Vers probably better with certain trinkets and borrowed damage

strange perch
#

with lego too

arctic iris
#

I think versatility is especially valuable earlier in the season since we're so under geared and running keys that are higher than our item level

sage badge
#

I like haste for ST, but vers provides a bit of survivability

How Big of a improvement is having T4 from having t2 for m+?

inner wasp

in the aoe build exe phase, i send ms over exe but not over op

#

but i need one op before i ms?

@wind flicker can i see your talents with uproar over SW

Hey guys so the latest updates say to only use Cleave with 2 stacks of Martial Prowess (and only >4 targets if during Sweeping Strikes). So does this really mean that we shouldn’t be using cleave if we haven’t casted op twice yet? And that we shouldn’t be using cleave above 4 targets if we don’t have sweeping strikes up?

I just got confused with this because I recall posts saying to use cleave above 6+ targets without sweeping strikes. And watching critcake’s stream extensively last night, I noticed he would use cleave right after one cast of OP and regardless if he had sweeping strikes or not (when there was more than 5-6 targets)

inner wasp
#

so in st exe w/ hybrid build

#

i press op w/ 2 stacks, otherwise press exe

#

and ms on cd

strange perch
somber lance
#

im pressing TC a lot as a filler to reset OP. is that a problem?

quasi torrent

SW=second wind my guys

alpine burrow

#

And sending cleave with 1xMP or 2xMP is rather minor iirc, loses you more prio than aoe

#

its really no biggie either way

#

I for one won't fucking track MP stacks

alpine burrow
#

Okay this clears my concerns up a lot, thanks man.

quasi torrent
#

🤷‍♂️

#

The only thing ill do diff from this is send WW before BS in opener

#

What are APL updates anyways? Were there changes made to our abilities or smth?

I also really dislike being reliant on WFT to feel good its like the same thing as PI some classes gameplay just actually felt so much better when u had PI so it feels like shit when u dont get it

dire hinge
# inner wasp can i get a true

no, so in Single Target you basically just follow your normal raid priority, meaning overpower is below execute in that context

inner wasp
#

so just send exe unless under 40 rage

#

or can press ms

pure grove
inner wasp
#

does that also apply to SD procs?

#

send over op?

dire hinge
# inner wasp or can press ms

If the boss is below 35%, you'd only send MS if you had 2x stacks of Executioner's Precision, but yes if the boss is above 35% you just send MS

the 19 entry long prio list on wowhead is pain to look at lmao

look at enhance prio list

dire hinge

haha i haven't looked at it recently, lemme gander

minor gust
#

its a lot worse

rare kite
inner wasp
#

then i switch to arms and im like "i need a phd to zug zug"

tough tangle
dire hinge
#

that is quite the cognitive overload to read over for sure

inner wasp
#

i almost feel like it'd be better to split it up into small chunks based on target count

#

instead of just a list that encompasses every situation

halcyon breach
#

I read the MM priority list, and everything top to bottom is just "press X on cooldown"

#

Definitely felt like an "that's it?" moment

fiery mica
#

I played enhance as my first character this season because it fit my group I play with a lot. The complexity is awful it's so many plates to spin. Plus it's so damn squishy. I am all for high skill cap specs but the reward has gotta be there. High complexity and okay damage sucks ass.

rare kite
fiery mica
#

Yeah I played paladin last season and everything feels poorly designed compared to it. Prot and ret are so clean.

alpine burrow
#

Thanks in advance!

sage badge
#

Correct. But I was simplifying it further for those that don't want to track mobs and think about it.

#

Cleave at 5 or more during sweeping is ideal

alpine burrow
#

Ah, got it.

sage badge
#

But if you wanna be lazy, keep it at 3. Sweeping up at 3 use MS. No sweeping use cleave

#

If you dont care for prio

somber lance
#

do we have a WA that says how many mobs are in the vicinity? that would actually help a lot

gaunt owl
#

i push buttons

#

thats how we do dmg

somber lance
#

just smash keyboard?

#

exe phase feels so good as arms

#

its insane

fiery mica
#

I like to just stand there and think about what I should be doing and thus doing zero damage

alpine burrow
sage badge
#

You can cleave as filler.

alpine burrow
#

Got it thanks man

carmine ginkgo
#

If you have trouble reading priority lists like me, run a quick sim on raidbots and check out the cast timeline at the bottom.

I don't know if it's perfect, but it helped me out a bit. You can change the target count to see the different breakpoints too

mortal crag
#

Wait cleave works with sweeping?

mortal crag
#

Is it fine to TC as filler if I don't want to ms a single target and there's like 9 mobs?

alpine burrow

its a bit sweaty but i dont wanna count mobs every pack xd

Jk

wind flicker
#

Well if u cant count em anymore start cleaving

mortal crag
#

I'm still confused tho

#

When do I NOT cleave

#

Better question

wind flicker
#

<3. without ss >= 5 with ss

mortal crag
#

Ok u lost me

#

I'm bad at math's write it in English

wind flicker
#

Less than 3 without sweeping

mortal crag
#

I do not cleave ok

#

So far i follow

wind flicker
#

More than 5 or 5 with sweeping = cleave

mortal crag
#

I asked it earlier but does cleave work w sweeping?

#

Like how does it work

wind flicker
#

U use sweeping for overpowers

#

Overpower with sweeping sends out another dreadnaught for full damage

mortal crag
#

Ok so cleave doesn't do anything a sweeping

#

OK COOL

#

Did not know!!

#

Ok so at 4?

#

What do I do?

wind flicker
#

Well i wasnt sure till a few days back either, but archi confirmed it since i needed it for a video 🙂

mortal crag
#

Is that why des said at 4 just cleave?

#

U releasing arms vid?

wind flicker
#

I already have 2 xd

mortal crag
#

Shieeee hook me up I'll even write a hateful comment for the algorithm

Wait so cleave isnt affected by sweeping?

Just remember that stuff gets a bit wonky whenever you deal with prio targets

But u gotta use ur best judgement for that one

And about the font thingy, its a snipped from the video so its sized down i agree the font looks kinda bad on here kekw

gaunt owl
#

yeah its not fit for discord now 😄

#

we need to spam those screenshot its so much easier too

wind flicker
#

I can maybe try and edit it a bit in photoshop to make it more discord suiteable

somber lance
#

tbh i think its a miss there isn't a proper opener on the wowhead guide

wind flicker
#

The difficulty with an opener is that it assumes targets to already be gathered and standing still ready to blast

halcyon breach
#

So what does one do when you run out of rage from MS'ing too many times in a row

#

👴

wind flicker
#

In reality, u can already build some rage, apply some bleeds and get your tier set bonus right before sending out your stuff

gaunt owl
#

yep you can slowly build your dmg up

#

til you kinda ramp

wind flicker
#

But in general, charge -> TC -> Avatar + WB -> whirlwind -> roar -> bladestorm

#

I think this is the "new" way

gaunt owl
#

WB after

somber lance
#

yeah i have a good idea now thanks to a couple comments and videos

#

but if anyone is brand brand new to the spec and looks at wowhead

#

they will be quite lost

wind flicker
gaunt owl
#

the spec is shit in AOE

#

thats the shit things

somber lance
#

haha]

gaunt owl
#

simc only do so much

#

we made him do this

#

but sometimes it just push buttons

fringe moon
#

Who else using the jug build instead of BS?

wind flicker
#

I mean sending wb before or after ur ww isnt going to be a disaster

#

Just do whatever feels best for you 🙂

gaunt owl
#

if you just hold your big CD

wind flicker
#

I believe Archi said its practically 0 the other day

gaunt owl
#

til everything is packed

#

its gonna be ok anyway

#

the order is w/E

#

you just need to hit everything

somber lance
#

why do we WW before TR again?

#

i thought we pressed cleave to proc 4p

gaunt owl
wind flicker
#

Well you kinda want to get your tierset before it gathers

gaunt owl
#

see waht my 5t quicksim did 😄

#

not sure what was your parameter

wind flicker
#

The thing is, Sims like i said think that the targets are like dummies standing still and grouped. So normally you can get 1 cleave of in MT to get tier bonus before sending out ur major cd's

#

Then when ur done with ur bladestorm ur tierset should about run out in which u can refresh it again

gaunt owl
#

yeah keeping some tier set proc is 99% of the thing we have to track now

wind flicker
#

Exactly

gaunt owl
#

but if you get lucky and full of rage you have a priority too

wind flicker
#

So what i always do is send out 1 cleave before im sending my big stuff (before its gathered) to ensure the big dmg buff

gaunt owl
#

so if you cant go WW because not enough rage you move on and thats the tricky part for most

wind flicker
#

Usually i leave it out and use it after to proc overpowers

#

But it is considered a slight loss

sage badge
latent hull
#

Wtf

gaunt owl
#

its because you do Avatar with Warbreaker

#

to have the 20% and 30% stacked

wind flicker
#

So it doesnt REALLY matter

gaunt owl
#

the first hit is shit

wind flicker
#

^

timber lynx
#

big poopy hit

gaunt owl
#

we have known this since early s3

timber lynx
#

bleed does xan

latent hull
#

So

timber lynx
#

Giga damage

latent hull
#

I charge troar avatar warbreaker

gaunt owl
#

news travel slowly sadly

latent hull
#

?

wind flicker
latent hull
#

I usually send it after bladestorm

#

For hurricane buff

gaunt owl
wind flicker
#

You want to send it before bladestorm

#

You thunderous roar bleed lasts longer than hurricane buff

timber lynx
#

Definitely before bs you lose so much uptime on it

gaunt owl
#

so it does amp your bleed for a longer duration

wind flicker
#

But when ur bladestorming you are stacking it up which means you get an extra 4 seconds of hurricane on your bleeds

latent hull
#

Ok

smoky kayak
inner wasp
#

vs how many targets do i whirlwind on cd

sage badge
#

Bladestorm is old news, it's all about DN

latent hull
#

Btw

#

Without sweeping strikes

wind flicker
latent hull
#

When do i start using cleave

smoky kayak
wind flicker
#

yeah thats probably why then

#

It was only a showcase, doesnt impact anything on my end luckily :3

gaunt owl
#

they really should make latest the default option @smoky kayak

#

since its always really up to date and mostly bug free

smoky kayak
#

well the reason it isn't is because it's not necessarily bug free, since it updates near instantly without much in the way of checks

gaunt owl
#

its not like you guys push shit blindly til your peers review it anyway

#

you are kinda 99% sure its a gain

smoky kayak
#

I mean some do/some don't DogeLaugh but we usually catch it pretty fast either way

gaunt owl
#

the only bug i caught live

#

was from a hunter TC

smoky kayak
gaunt owl
#

and it was doing some clunky stuff because you have some target check in your APL

wind flicker
smoky kayak
#

yeah, usually the only time latest has a problem is if someone fat fingered and forgot a ) or something, and then the whole thing crashes, but we tend to get quick enough feedback that it should be noticed pretty quick (and that's assuming they didn't rebuild and test themselves before pushing anyway, which I always try to do)

or the main build your testing works, but some other build breaks

latent hull
sage badge
#

No, aoe sim

Why would you use fyralath first

You wont have the dots on the targets to increse its dmg

dont tell anyone

in actual AoE situations, it's usually better to prioritize your CDs first, assuming you're not saving them for something
but for a sim, it doesn't really matter

@dull siren i see you don't take fatal mark in some of your rank 1s, do you skip it for extra point in bloodborne on short fights?

violet steeple
#

You'll be ok

#

Hardest part of arms in higher M+ is knowing when to prio and when to cleave, and then using IP properly

and dstance

ive been given mixed answers on this, is it ok to reflect the bomb on last boss of AA?

#

Might be a dumb question but why are all the pieces with Mastery simming so high, thought we wanted Haste/Crit

misty iron
#

also, I never figured this out in exe phase - To get enough rage I have to do Execute->OP and then MS resets, do I send MS anyway or get 2x EP

violet steeple
#

2x EP

misty iron

once you have more mastery, more pieces with crit/haste might sim better

just follow the sim

Looks like you took out sudden death, interesting, does that not affect your priority damage much?

They're doing their best gladge

worldly kernel
#

SD prio went down because we dont have s3 set i'm pretty sure

sage badge
#

SD procs are wasted in aoe, most of your damage is chunky MS, and using OP on them

buoyant hawk
#

So you only use whirl as a reset for more ms? Even in high target count groups?

More crit for aoe. They're just floater points really.

wonder if imp slam is better for your build, i know you only ww to reset OP but still over 1% crit

sage badge

It's not. Slam isn't too big in the overall contribution

worldly kernel

you'd also wanna run crushing force but the damage isnt worth losing your 2 stuns

When I start pushing I'll probably play bladestorm build or swap out cruel strikes for endurance + shockwave or endurance + uproar

ye makes sense

the hybrid build Ilike better, I can't do double bs it feels really clunky to me

Tier lists are good at making people watch tier lists on yt/twitch 🙃

inner wasp
#

so w/ the hybrid build in single target execute phase

#

if ur not pressing op at all before ms because ur pressing execute

#

that still does more overall dmg than pressing op?

gaunt owl
inner wasp
#

assuming 40 rage executes

worldly kernel
#

you weave in ops after 2x exe ms it's a filler for rage

inner wasp
#

?

dire hinge
sage badge
worldly kernel
#

you should have enough time for it to reset considering haste

raven ivy
#

cant trust the yellow names

inner wasp
#

or does only op reset the cd of ms

sage badge
inner wasp
#

idk arms lore yet

dire hinge
inner wasp
#

gotcha

#

outside of execute phase, if i get an sd proc

#

just send it over ms?

gaunt owl
inner wasp
#

i meant send it over op

#

but

#

what if no SS up in aoe

dire hinge
#

that's incorrect

worldly kernel
#

it's lower prio because we have s1 tier

dire hinge
#

MS is more important than Execute (including sudden death procs) in single target, when the target is above 35%

inner wasp
#

so send it over op, but not over ms

#

in st

languid geyser
#

He said OP. Not MS

inner wasp
#

no no that clarifies things

#

when do i execute in aoe? depends on target count? if sd procs?

#

with or without ss?

latent hull
#

How good is sd

languid geyser
#

Probably should check out wowhead brother. But someone would tell me I'm incorrect

worldly kernel
#

in aoe bs and dn prob gonna do more damage even with ss'd sd procs

latent hull
#

I saw someone post a build here

inner wasp
#

wowhead clarifies nothing for me

somber lance
#

sd irrelevant in aoe

latent hull
#

I think he had the same build as me but took out SD and placed it into bloodborn

#

Or whatever bleed incresed dmg is called

worldly kernel
#

i mean everything with arms especially in keys is extremely situational a lot of the time you're just sending buttons, execute kinda becomes irrelevant in aoe with SD procs because you don't have the TC attached to it so op and SS'd ms > sd / execute

inner wasp
#

so u just dont press exe in aoe?

#

surely u do sometimes

somber lance
#

almost no

worldly kernel
#

in lower target count it becomes better but even still over OP and MS you don't press it that much over the other two

latent hull
worldly kernel
#

like for instance if you're at 2t cleave you can force target the EP ms on the secondary target and garuntee you're getting maximum damage with your buffed ms

#

but if it's like anything 5+ OP cleave and ms is going to do more damage than you sending an aoe execute with SS

inner wasp
worldly kernel
#

its just how sweeping strikes works

latent hull
#

Wait when do u use cleave

#

When u have 2 overpower buff

wind flicker
#

Yes

latent hull
#

But if op dont reset then what

sage badge
#

For what it's worth, this is my dslice sim comparing the build I'm running and the warlords bladestorm build. Granted, dslice isn't as realistic as m+ and bladestorm will perform in very large pull counts (academy, nokhud, brackenhide) if your cooldowns line up for them.

worldly kernel
#

when you EP ms the main target anything that hits the main hits the secondary so if you're forcing EP on 2 things and you can reliably target only two things you're just getting free damage, with more targets you can't force it on a specific mob with 5+ because you're moving and it could hit one thing but you'd MS another if that makes sense

#

warrior math

latent hull
#

Isnt it better send cleave when ur at 1 overpower

#

So that u always have overpowers

inner wasp
#

also in aoe dont u just send cleave on cd regardless of martial prowess stacks

somber lance
#

is there any use saving pot for exe phase in raid?

wind flicker
#

Or if no other option then yea

worldly kernel
#

so when you execute something it puts a debuff on it, stacks twice and it increases your ms damage, if you're in 2 target with SS anything you do to the main target gets applied to your secondary target

latent hull
#

You press MS on reset in execute phase?

latent hull
#

And just use execure above 40rage and op below

dire hinge
#

executioner's precision is absolutely a debuff on target, not buff onyourself

inner wasp
#

if its getting applied no matter what

worldly kernel
#

it only applies to one thing you're attacking

wind flicker
#

Oh yeah sorry im mixing it up with martial prowess

worldly kernel
# inner wasp so why would it matter if u exe the primary or secondary target

im mostly talking about priorities of action and explaining sweeping strikes tech. So if you know how arms basic theory works you have abilities that can apply a single debuff, MS -> deep wounds, Rend-> rend and aoe abilities that can apply on multiple targets Warbreaker / cleave -> Deep wounds, TC ( if specced) -> rend. We currently don't have any way to put executioners precision on more than 2 targets so that's where sweeping strikes comes in, it's a very underutilized mechanic for arms in m+ keys, which is where I said in 2 target you can reliably apply EP to two things because of how sweeping strikes works, anything you apply to your main target with a single target debuff will apply to the secondary target. So you can EP two things at one time. It becomes unreliable to do it above 5+ targets since you cannot apply EP to more than 2 targets so the debuff might hit a target your sweeping strikes is not hitting and you have pretty much wasted damage.

#

WOT but i had to explain it

#

does that make a little bit more sense

latent hull
#

Tc doesnt apply rend on all targets right?

worldly kernel
#

only on 5

dire hinge
#

only 5 random ones

inner wasp
#

so u DONT have to mouseover macro execute

latent hull
#

Is it worth spamming it on cd to get it to more targets

#

If u do a big pull

worldly kernel
#

i dont use macros so i'm not sure

#

but does that make sense or answer the original question

eager solstice
#

what keys is blademasters torment build better for?

dire hinge
#

none really

finite ginkgo
#

None

latent hull
#

Why would u run

#

More aoe dmg

eager solstice
#

then why are some of the top M+ guys running it

latent hull
#

Just to do tank damage on bosses

eager solstice
#

14 out of top 50 roughly

latent hull
#

They are trolling

worldly kernel
#

really early into the season people wanna pad

#

IMO the build feels clunky i'd avoid it

wind flicker
latent hull
#

They are the type of people to play fury this patch when you can play arms

eager solstice
worldly kernel
#

you swap it for warlords and it feels instantly better

eager solstice
#

the normal arms M+ build this ssn is a lot more complex than what were used to for warrior specs tho yeah

#

but im loving it now

eager solstice
prisma heart
#

weeeeee bladestorm erga here i go again second bladestorm weeeeeee erga

wind flicker
#

The reality is that if you play Blademasters with MBG / reaping etc you'll do virtually no priority damage or boss damage which will actually make timing keys harder

hazy flower
eager solstice
#

yeah im not having any problems with my damage or timing keys as is

hazy flower
#

i.e.

eager solstice
#

i was just curious

hazy flower
#

it doesnt take all 50 from 50

eager solstice
#

as to why

eager solstice
hazy flower
#

it skips spots

worldly kernel
#

one sec, gonna go time a couple of 15's with a cursed build

eager solstice
#

I never thought it was super accurate but its still a pretty solid way to get general idea and info

hazy flower
#

if you really wanna see what top players are playing

#

go to wclogs

#

specific dungeons

worldly kernel
#

if you want a better idea go to raider IO and look up specific dungeons to see what people are using

eager solstice
#

i do for raids

wind flicker
#

WCL is bad for dungeons

#

Nobody logs their dungeons really

#

Unless there is a dragon in it

hazy flower
#

and raider io is buggy

#

doesnt show builds every time

#

properly

#

or gear

worldly kernel
#

there was one dungeon where it said I was double bs but I was playing jugg last season

wind flicker
#

I only know 1 person in the "top" that uses it

eager solstice
#

well raiderio is also just a lot more inconvenient than murlokio to get the same info for me anyway

wind flicker
#

And only for specific dungeons

eager solstice
#

generally speaking

prisma heart
#

weeeeee two bladestorms erga don't look at my boss damage

hazy flower
#

blademasters torment is not the ideal choice

#

warlords is burstier

#

and better boss dam

#
  • better prio
eager solstice
#

i run warlords anyway

astral yarrow
#

I mean it’s not like you do 0 boss damage with MBG build, but you’ll do like 30k less played optimally

eager solstice
#

again was just curious

#

i guess they were either just having fun or had specs with giga ST so went more aoe heavy

hazy flower
#

but optimally you dont need that much pad in most comps or even in any comp

#

because stuff just gets cleaved

astral yarrow
#

It helps that a lot of damage comes from MS this tier

eager solstice
#

yeah big fucking numbers tho

#

having your name ontop of the overalls

#

thats all the really matters tbh

hazy flower
#

play with shit players

eager solstice
#

everything else is cope

hazy flower
#

you'll have it every time

eager solstice
#

#

Very few specs bring the prio damage or 2 target that we do, so let warlocks blast aoe while we kill off relevant targets

eager solstice
hazy flower
#

I wouldn't say very few aagaard

#

but we definitely have a pretty good prio

#

and it's underrated i.e. nobody ever mentions it

wind flicker
#

Was about to say, there is quite a few above us

hazy flower
#

I do remember in throne on single sentinel pulls

#

rare cases fire mage would beat me on sentinel even without reflect

astral yarrow
#

Obviously assa or sub dumping their CDs in a single target does better lol

hazy flower
#

sp obv would gap me if he was good

prisma heart
#

i'm sure doing top 0.01% keys with giga pulls only a top 0.01% tank can coordinate successfully can make BS builds seems tasty but for the rest of us let's just stick to jugg ya kno

taking stormbolt over seismic reverberation is so troll

what if the filler consumes my 2 prowess charges thatll be used on ms next gcd tho

noble anvil

do i rotate twice between OP and exec before MS or just go 2x exec 1x op into MS

reef glade

the second thing

#

2 exe >> either a third exe or op if not enough rage > ms

inner wasp

or is that just filler to smooth the rage curve

with ashen juggernaut at least on raidfights a third exe just better

thorn sentinel
#

can i do better then this logs as arms warrior with hekili ?

#

it is my logs as destuction

reef glade

but if its like "m+ st rotation" and you dont have juggernaught maybe 1 op is better

#

i typically just send 3 exe if i have the rage anyway

#

gives am/tom etc

reef glade

idk mang... i mean havent played lock in a long time but i mean i think it just depends on how good hekili is for that spec

thorn sentinel
reef glade

do u try to look at some wowhead guides

in terms of talents/rotations etc

to try and understand whats going on a bit better

like streamers/youtubers for example

i had problem with priority list since shadowlands season 1

on 3+ targets with no ss, is ms just filler
