i wouldny use dragon games
sometimes that shit just doesnt work
atleast it didnt in s1
i dont remember why but it just wouldnt kick the balls sometimes
Ur supposed to pick the ballsacks up
im simming again
irideus for your mental health
i have gotten so few upgrades this season
but im sitting on 1500 fucking shit trinketys
Dude
does it affect the risk of getting a new one if you sell it? i mean - you don't get duplicates i think
I only have 489ember + 489might
yeah, but i aint gotten any other pieces basically lmao
yeah, i had to catalyst my two shittiest hero pieces + got the shitty ass trinkets
Which is bait
which is basically all ive gotten
and ive done 10?12? 8+ dungeons
and raid last week
Im wondering what ill get in vault tbh
where i got storm-boon lol
Cleared heroic and 10/8/4
Kinda harsh because i skipped last week
I logged on to do 1key of +2 and cleared normal voti at 3am
Right before reset lol
lmao
Cuz im 1.9k
Next reset should be 2.8k atleast
Cuz ilvl gainz
M+ feels easier
Than s1
And s2
yeah
Like, we were going in undergeared at like 487 and melting the bosses in 30-40sec
In a +2-4
I dont remember killing bosses in 30sec in a +12-14
Lol
wow, the sim says madness and iridious fragments are the best on 5 patchwerk 5min
+10 felt like a +15
by a significant marigin
Depending on the affix
which made me sit at 780k or something
on 40 sec 5t its the same thing
and on single target its -1900, so seems like its the way to go
arms owns
arms owns
is arms sleeper OP this season or some shit
these guys have 15 ilvls on me
im only 470 wearing all s3 shit
I mean arms is gonna do a lot of dam in BiS but I'm pretty sure that's not that crazy
To answer your question, yeah it's pretty good. But also you just played better than them cuz you don't have any of the new stuff yet
Getting the new tier and some ilvl is where it really starts blasting
getting the new stuff will make me play worse? lmfao
no
he's saying you're not blasting, or more accurately the spec at that ilvl
you just played decently and they played poorly
I'm saying in your scenario you played better than them. But also yes arms is good with the new stuff
gotcha okay okay
i noticed this earlier when i was in an amirdrassil group for the leggo and i was keeping pace w 490 people
average pug isn't that great
i couldnt tell if i was playing w shitters or if arms is busted
Hi,one question,do i have to wait for 2 overpower stacks to use cleave,or i just send it on cd?
wait what does dragon roar not having conditionals mean
it means press it on CD
is it not affected by mastery, CS, etc?
and that post is specifically in regards to multi target
you don't care about the initial damage, you care about the DoT which will still get buffed as you do things
oh so it's not worth making sure my debuffs are applied before popping d roar
interesting, i always thought that bleed would like "snapshot" stats, buffs/debuffs
as per the post, only thing you do before it is rend
wild
I'm not even sure if feral still has it
nothing sleeper about it lol
misinformation in my online game??
they were the only ones who did have it
damn okay
i been doing it all wrong this whole time
since you're here and we're talking about the multitarget update, does the new cleave behavior mean at 5 target with SS it's just OP/WW/TC until 2 stacks of martial prowess? Or are we still mortal striking up to 5 targets?
I assume former but just want to double check
i understood it as if SS is up then youre basically doing your ST rotation up to 4 targets
no SS means moar cleaves
i also thought arms still had snapshotting so idk how much my opinion is worth
sorry I should have said 5 not 4
but it was up to 5 you'd MS
was*
WW is a higher prio
gotcha
does most of your rage dumping
so it's if you literally have absolutely literally nothing else to press then you slam
slam is practically the last button you press rn
okay cool im still doing that right
last question, does this damage breakdown look ab what it should? ik my bladestorm is a lil low bc i forgot to put it on my bars when i changed my talents and didnt notice for like 2 pulls lmfao
my TC damage is prob high since im still in s3 4 piece
Back this season after a break, is Arms gaming again in keys?
ive been blasting
finishing 150k+ in dungeons w shitty pull optimization and timing in full s3 gear
i need help... i need weakauras that track overpower and execute "stacks"
you running elvui by chance?
sorry no
ah damn, elvui tracks that for me. it honestly probably wouldnt be hard to find one
you only need to track EP really
MP is a tad excessive to check for
found this one for OP
oh wait that's hella old
may not work idk
we do in aoe
in aoe
im tracking it, but thats cuz of S3 and i cba remove it
op addon worked... showed number of stacks... 🙂
of the 2 id prio to track EP
i've got an all in 1 WA with core rotation abilities and stacks of MP and EP and fatality etc
name?
sec i link
it will change formats ofc when you change specs
Gimme dat
Actually if i do get mythic box on vault im deleting the game
If i dont get it ill continue on playing
Remember my words
I was doing 320k no aug 1.5min kill at 503ilvl
Beating ppl that were 515
ST is giga
only 320 
give it fullgear and that killtime sees 400 from arm
tho tbf 90 secs stinks hard
Ye i use aoe trinks too
2 mins tho
im not even sure what the best for turbofuck HC slamming is - prolly box and augury or smth
I use ember and might
489
Only trink i got was the whelpling shit
From 10 rlp
Giga shit
I took hero tier instead of normal anvil from vault
Should see big dam in a couple weeks when i do get the eranog ring + shadowflame boots crafted
cata should pull ahead of augury no? on hc fucks
im prolling getting ring next bullion then cata
what's cata
Signet brand
brown class fuck good
Yesterday did 415k in ruby 11++ with bladestorm AND juggernaut-less build
I put the juggernaut point into 2/2 Bloodborne
what did ya spend the points on
It was nice
I thought that in pug (which means almost no chain pulling) and especially in some instances like ruby, NO etc it becomes really hard to keep stacks up
like that?
And Bloodborne carries ur aoe
It is juggy is for st
Precisely but with ignore pain
i might play that next week
I did not lose that much dps, I never did less than 210k
not sure why you'd play that
Ruby has aoe bosses
So mby not a bad idea in there
Id wish juggy was like 5 stacks
At a higher value per stack
yeah that would be awesome
Make it way more versatile
5% per
There are the big add before 1st boss and the storm drake, I did not fall behind in single target there (tank took them by themselves and not with other mobs except the lil fire elementals)
I was thinkin 3% but ok🤣
its 3% now
Its 3% to 15?
yep
Total 45%
So it 45% at 15 stakcs?
yes
Hmm sheeit
Anyone have any thumb of rule as to how many stuns is too many for when to take shockwave and when too not in pugs? I feel like when I dont pick it the cc lacks
Buff basiline execute, make it 5% for 5 times?
I'm not sure that 7.5% more bleed damage and 2% more crit would compensate for loss of bladestorm, 1% vers and hurricane
Less value talent but easier to stack?
5% per cast, stack to 8
Hurricane is the only reason you take bladestorm anyways
overall nerf, buff to actual damage cause stack faster
Why does sim choose Cleave over MS with SS up on only 3 targets?
yes, 30k dps overall in my key is worthless outside of Hurricane
Also fine what ever makes it faster to stack in m+

rage changes for tww are more about spending rrage than having a flood of it
30k dps is like 7.5% of a good overall dps key so I’m not impressed at all considering you’re bound to do nothing for 5.5 seconds and you clutter your rotation even more but everyone plays as they like I guess
Ah bladestorm is good for roots too to be honest
Yes but lessens value of huggernaut
and would one point in BB and 2 points in the crit node make up for that 7% plus the loss from whatever Hurricane is bringing?
I doubt
increases the value of SD, reduces the way we prio rage spend in cs for tom in favour of st or aoe options
Also the average bs damage for me is like 6%
imagine spending rage based on damage dealt to however many targets vs the shit storm now of cdr+tom buff regardless
we know whats better but it doesnt feel better to press aoe button in pure st solely based on rage spent
seems pretty worth it, number should be higher as well but bolstering one shots gonna one shot
side note
holy shit
almost a mil on a MS
Quick maths you would have gained around 15k damage from that single 7.5% bleed increase only. Raw numbers apart, your cleave (sustained damage) and execute (prio damage) would be substantially higher and for the latter, your ms damage would increase greatly because execute is cast more often and it means more EP stacks. This becomes even more important if you use juggernaut which I didn’t for reasons that I explained in a previous message. But in the end my point is, I’m not saying you shouldn’t use bladestorm, but rather, you pump a lot without it too and Bloodborne is really worth
not sure how your cleave and execute would be substantially higher
the points you chose don't really affect cleave
Execute spamming is the point of this build which is focused on prio damage especially if you take juggernaut. About cleave, you just cast it more often lol
Execute is just a vehicle for MS casts this season
Honestly if they keep up with the crests thing moving forward, they just need to drop flightstones as a currency.....
this is so annoying lmao
done probably 15 dungeons this week and I'm still scrounging for flightstones despite having the crests...
weekly, rep quests, world quests all drop flightstones
Do loremaster
@wicked aurora
I did 700 quests in a weekend
For stones
Ahh ye rares drop shit too
Do lfr, normal, hc raid
currently planting seeds for passive flightstones
run low keys with people that get io and you get bonus stoneees
Take emerald dream weekly quest too
they are so fucking easy to grind
I do think they need to increase the amount gained from m+
already ahead of you 🙂
nah leave that as is just allow us to buy them with crests we dont use atm like whelp and drrake crests
I did loremaster in a single sitting basically
For flightstones
Then cleared normal, lfr and heroic aberrus
Then ran 20keys
Now i dont need to do anything until next week
so
do 5 or so hours of content outside of the about 16 hours of keys you already did?

Think it was over 700quests that i did lmao
But i was mainly cranking out reputation
Passivelly getting stones
that's a good idea tbh
I honestly just wish they'd not put a cap on flightstones
that too
can't do anything with them without crests anyways
who cares if someone wants to farm 7000 flightstones week one
they're still timegated lol
at least give us enough to reasonably use most of our crests for the week, I Feel like I have to refill the flightstones 2 to 3 times to get full value, so just make the cape like 4-5k and it will feel alot better
Depends
No
Well people said i should use cleave at 2 stacks
It depends on the amount of targets as well as whether sweeping strikes is up
Well yea sweeping strikes
Lets say u have all cds
Charge troar avatar bladestorm
Warbreaker forgot to put there
Fish a cleave for 4 pc. Crit or not -> aoe
And after bladestorm do i use ss with 2 overpowers or
(in aoe its almost 100% it will crit at leastonce)
charge > tclap > avatar+roar > cleave > wb > bs > cleave > ss > opx2 > cleave
Oke thx
thats not what most people do
Well there was a sim yday to use roar first
most people charge tclap avatar + roar then bladestorm and then use wb cleave and continue
@uncut shard meow
Cleave is better
To use
B4 bladestorm
For 4p
Gives u likr 10% more dmg in total
wb > bstorm or bstorem > wb - just makes either bstorm pump or the cleave/op after pump
Yeh
reegardless of what way you do it you get hurricane full value inside wb
always cleave/ms before it if you have 4pc tho
I think this is prob the best itteration
With new thing that we op twice before cleave i often run out of things to press. Is it just me?
this is on the 3 packs together in aa before vexamus - charge > tc > ww (to get leggo dot on everything) > leggo > avatar+roar > cleave (activates tier) > wb > bs > cleave > ss > opx2 > cleave > ww (running deswinds fob build for a free slam also / resets op) > opx2 > cleave - finished the pull at over 1 mill dps
ww/tc both reset op, you need to keep tc for rend anyway - cleave > opx2 + something > cleave - its roughly every 20 secs it feels clunky for 1 global and then pefect again
during sweeping strikes do you prefer MS over Cleave in multi target?
ms for prio damage or cleave for aoe pad, depends on the pull tbh
which AA buff should we take?
both ms and cleave inteact with tier in the same way
crit is a safe bet because it helps 4pc, but there isnt no reeeal single choice cause it depends on the rrest of your stats and what type of damage you want to do and key level (high keys love vers)
okok
ok thanks but only with sweeping strikes on yes?
I was thinking crit for tree then changing on the run around to vex into vers
haste or vers
you send ss at 2t or more
arms rotation is hard lol
nope not hard at all, working out what type of damage profile you arre doing is the hard part
compared to fury yeah it is, overall i don't think it's that hard but i'm biased
So ss is something that I dont need to play around and just insert in my aoe rotation at 2+ targets?
exactly
And basically overpower and occasional ms will benefit from that right?
op+dn makes it hit twice so as soon as there is 2t you gain benefit from it
I've tried the mastery buff and the dmg increase for DW slaps
ye just press it at 2+ targets, then there are target counts where you want to press different abilities. with ss 1-4 ms, 5+ cleave. ofcourse if there's a prio target you should press ms anyway
what do you mean with "dn"?
is there a apl to sim it?
dreadnaught talent
thanks 🙂
No clue, ive just taken mastery cause im on 20% returns on haste and 10% on crit so its either vers or mast for me
the buff is flat%
aa buff doesnt DR
the dr doesn't matter
Oh damn, didnt know that
that's why AA buff is so insane, like as arms you usually have 40%+ haste and you just getting the extra haste with no dr is really really good
i was doing 750k overall on that key with the mast buff, migthve been higher with haste, hmm
overpower+dreadnaught with and without ss in high target counts
prob, also mastery buff is just objectively worse than vers in anyway for arms
Probably, i was just thinking that extra % of dmg increase on that many targets was good
yeah lol 5% damage all the time + to all trinket/fire ring/leggo v 5% damage only when deep wounds running
Makes sense now that you mention it
well the extra 5% is the same 5% vers gives except vers affects things that aren't just your abilities
and give you 2.5% damage reduction
Fair enough, im just dumdum then😂
do we macro roar and avatar together? or we dont macro avatar to anything and just press it manually
you can for those times you pre roar (i do this) but its best to have it manually - downside is when running uproar (1m roar) it desyncs and holding avatar is a no no
so we dont hold roar for avatar we just use CDs on CD
ofc you use on cd, why else would you have picked the cdr talent?
yep - avatar lasts 20 secs, roar dot is 16 secs - hurricane is 6 secs, wb 10 - line them up when they do, dont hold them for any amount of length if they dont
and if you didn't pick the cdr talent it always alligns with avatar anyway
spiteful tww dream, personal perma pi!
well if brown guy keeps pumping the dps the way it is maybe we can get in based on just that
ty, makes sense
where do brown ppl rank in dps this season
rank in meta lists or actual performance in keys?
what trinket are people getting for arms m+ with next bullion? I assume we still play pbox as 1 trinket
Warlock is not top of the chart, that's a fake chart
icon+oce are your bis if everyone else is using them, pb is great but 3m kinda sux - signet brrand if you can keep max stacks cause it melts bosses
anvil also good but kinda needs ms prio target build cause cleave doesnt proc it, same uptime issues as brand
^^ take both those lists with a grain of salt, wont see actual numbers until like week 4-6 with bis trinkets
does anyone have experience of hte luxor WA just blatantly making all the icons not load on the WA?
despite the bar etc loading, ive double checked conditions and load options but it doesnt make sense
it doesnt even load them while im browsing the WA
no, whats teh issue - he has his own discord and looks at bugs and fixes shit pretty fast
it doesnt generate any icons
but the cast bars work
so i assume its something about the warrior skills themselves
had an update 2 days ago - you using version 10.2.2-91?
it did work earlier, but then it stopped working after i went into a new dungeon
going to update the WA addon
@wind flicker i appreciate the video
My WeakAura (Arms by Khakhan) sometimes shows whirlwind over op in st scenarious. Wondering if that is correct?
did u press CS before?
maybe 😄
it will also want to send ww to reset op before it wants to send slam
the wa actually shows ww above op if i have more than 50% rage
ye i have test of might, but i didnt use collosus smash before
well i do not like wa's that tells u what to press
ngl
as
ww above op is ok, unless theres less than 9 sedonds to next cs window
sounds like their apl might need an update
if not u misalign ww with cs
and thats annoying
also we dont slam we TC these dayts
in a pug yes
ah damnit i thought cs is slam xD I actually meant I never use slam, and what is cs then?
Collosus smash =?
[Colossus Smash]
dont even think youd get invited to a non awakened hc vault never mind the higher ilvl ones new season people just want current ilvl
make own group/rely on guild a choice?
ye sorry m+ should have mentioned that mb
true, I'll just spam m+ for now
until i get about 500
low keys are really easy for sure
great environment to learn arms too if you're new like i am
since this is week 2 you can get like 515? on most slots with the current crest cap right
oh rogue
cant remember the last time i even saw a rogue apply for a key never mind inviting one maybe thats whats happening to you, they just dont know if a rogue is worth it
owns
rogue cant use thorncaller?
They can, everyone's saying get grieftorch first
I had it season 1 and got it again season 2 sadly only on normal not heroic so its capped 515
season 4*
thorncaller is mainly for raid st
i don't really raid much
i'll just do weekly hc and that's about it
I'm not having issues with invites to 2+ keys lol
lucky
NA? on eu at that ilvl its hard to get invited to keys at nearly 500 never mind below 490
this has been removed from the apl, such an extremely small gain it's not even worth it
Depends on the key and the level
thoughts on cleave without having S4 Tier yet?
not worth it
so whats the mythic+ build look like? I lost my last season one 😦
when you get tier just remove 1 point bloodborne and put it into cleave
Well, I was wrong, I'm not getting invited to a +2 so far

even tho i'll probably beat 500 people

whats your IO?
my main is about 1900
whats your warrior
i got 2500 last night, and I get declined to 8s because i cant get a certain item that everyone wants
cough tome in AV cough
id just use my own key
It’s nearly impossible to find a tank for anything below like 6 or 7
in my experience its healers after 7
Puzzle box any good for arms?
Yes
you get like 30% dmg boost
i did sims on my guy and puzzle box was pretty much BiS i think
so guys how impactful is bladesotrm in our m+ profile
Its pretty impactful since it gives us access to Hurricane, which buffs us up a lot
I don't like BS... but it's what we have.
How do u not like bs
we get 30% str, its giga
bs dmg itself isn't great... that's all
but it boosts other things so there is that.
If you factor in that it applies deep wounds to everything and gives us hurricane, its not that bad
I mean it is good... everyone should take it.
and the brrown man beats 2x pink men that have better gear! i was kinda expecting to get smashed
this is a recurring pattern
ive been beating ppl 10 ilvl higher as well
either in raid or keys
either shitters or arms really fucks big
The majority of pala players in my personal experience tend to just be ass at the game
jugg no cleave no bs build as well
Did an Algethar on my hunter earlier, and saw a paladin, with the lego, who bought the Eranog ring with Bullions
So I'm fairly certain the pink population mostly lack brain
War against the pink
he was stupid enough to spend it after seeing the lego upgrade was bugged
impatient and stupid
same, i mean its still weawpon
lmao
anyone got 4 set WA?
u mean crit/dmg boost?
i got 50% crit with flask so should be up almost 100%
dont wanna be pedantic but a weakaura that just tracks a buff is one of the easier to make yourself
the template function WA has is so fucking good
I could understand spending the crests on other stuff (like I did kek) but I mean… how can you be so dumb not to know how this season works and how precious the bullions are…
90% of all people’s problems exist because they can’t read
arms 
ye with the massive ret base atm you come across bad rets more than good, i've done 16 keys with rets, mixed ilvl and only 2 beat me, 1 of them because of a scuffed massive pull where i died sadge :c the majority of my keys being played as fury not arms actually
Did they get nerfed or something
who? rets? they did not
Hosen?
Not running 5 warrior keys
Smh
@quasi torrent @daring heron @sacred zodiac @idle crater 5 warrior keys tonight?
playing with teamge
heroic -> myth alt raid tonoit
do i use avatar before or after bladestorm?
Yes
maybe come to raid tophifee-blackhand?
what if stream demands 5 warrior key
it was weird.. the other warrior asked me for the loot
but he had blocked me. so I couldn't trade
so i passed it onto the tank then he traded it to the warrior.
felt dirty
fucker didn't even want to communicate but asked for the loot
Are you guys running the 2x bladestorm build in everything this week? Im feeling like some grps im in i would have done alot better with a juggernaut build cause bolster
most people are running the 1 bs build
Hm, most ive seen do BS+bonegrinder and blademaster
I like that build aswell but in anything higher than 10 with a pug i feel like im missing out not going juggernaut
I don't think jugg is that good
I’ve seen that as well but I haven’t noticed significant performance increase from it
it's for the meme overalls, sacrifice alot of st by playing that
ye some packs feels good but bossdmg is depressing if its not a cleave fight, in wich a jugger build would be better either way
if you play the hybrid build you get the best of both worlds
hyrbid build with 1 minute roar you have aoe for every pack and strong ST with warlords avatar
what's hybrid build
the 1 bladestorm build
u have more than 1 bladestorm?
you can have avatar cast bladestorm
ah yea
what build is sexxing right now
Hybrid
Arms owns

makes me rly sad as a fury enjoyer how fuckin strong arms is this season bros
that puzzelbox tricket is fucking anoying to use
Fury is strong as fuck in keys as well
Ôô
its 30 seconds uptime. You can precast it so early
the one melee that is strong atm retri pala easy as bm hunter and top dmg
That's the biggest lie
I ever heard
Xdddd
It really is terrible ATM
Should be Arms=Fury >>> ret so play w/e you want
Hey man let us have a season. They’re blasting us down in TWW so far so you’ll be back on too soon.
looks like top m+ players are doing fine as fury?
keeping up on dmge etc
but its worse than arms
did you guys craft wrists first? or torc?
wherre are we geetting blasted down in tww?
Just going based off what some YouTubers have said. They’re making some not great changes with talents that are nerfs. I could just be reading into the hype as that’s what those guys do so they can get views
Why asking to cringe?
Bajheera was one of them
I went wrists first for a bit more vers since I’ve been doing mostly keys and I zug and stand in stupid so I figured a bit more vers would be good
That first sentence alone should indicate a hearty amount of doubt is needed.
Hell yeah. I hope things stay about even so I can continue to play Arms. My guild will make me switch back to fury if it’s like it was S3
this one form 2 weeks ago?
aparently i only had 10k dps above the fury warrior in my group
i guess i just suck at this class lol
Haha probably. I don’t usually watch Bajheera my friend group just mentioned it to me about the “changes.” Only follow two warriors really and that’s Critcake for PvE and Laros for PvP
only watching it to see what he thinks tbh, see if its bad hype for views or legit concerns
Just complaining about genning less rage really
top 50 guild or smt?
Our talent trees are cursed tho
No not hardly. But they are a consistently CE guild and they do expect everyone to play to their highest level.
About the rage issue. In pve you generate like 200 rage and use like 100 lol. Its like rage doesnt matter outside execution. I think the changes are for a better feeling in rotation (you will actually use rage).
I mean plenty of people got CE when warrior specs at some point competet with prot paladin damage in shadowlands
Kinda toxic trait of a guild ngl
He is a pvper and the experience of arms in pve and pvp couldn't be more different
It's hard to explain having too much rage there
yeah but with same numbers, if we experience rage draught next expansion you will defn
feel it
no need to mention AM is considerable getting nerfed too, arms losing a lot m+ value
They just overreacted imo. Nerfing all things related to rage seemed very kneejerk
yeah but they are not always avaliable, and in dungeons they dont drop WFt in aoe
I guess the initial iteration of the fix needs some balancing. But i pray the released version will feel better.
And yea will just make the difference between wft and no wft huge
yeah, they instead nerfing rage regen rather than adding more ways to spend rage
they arre making rage spend the same acoss the board
We def genned a lot.
yeah
We lost reck on cs
spenders will be based on damage and not rage spent
Dont you guys agree its two ways of solving the same issue? Less rage will be the same result of use more rage
but people underestimating how much rage regen gutted compared to now
is legendary drop rate increased or any new thingsa about that in s4? i wanna play warrior but without legendary its not that good i guess
If they tune around it, yes nothing changed
no
Nerfing AM gonna affect the CS/tom overlap
but AM is getting nerfed
Yea
and your mortal strike will be 30 rage, but rage will be more valuable
still decent dps without lego?
Spiteful for perma PI with no buttons to press
yeeah buy ashkandi off vendorr and make it 525
I played all s3 but last week without legendary, for raid you cannot compete with leggo havers
in m+ your dps is good, but you definitely slap ppl with leggo
Hey guys general question about aoe. Do I want to always use cleave with 2 stacks of martial prowess or could I weave in op - cleave - op - cleave based on resets?
Say I’m in a scenario with no op stacks and 1 prowess, cleave ready to use. Do I fish for a tactician proc with tclap or do I just send the 1 stacker?
got question about pvp arms. so sharpen blade says next MS will reduce healing by 50%, but MS already does that. does it reduce 100%?
50% + 50% of 50%
So 75%
if u go opx2 to cleave... then there is a good chance u won't have op available after.
they've written it poorly then. it should say "and will reduce healing by an aditional 25%" or "MS healing reduced is increased by 50% of base value"
yeah i think just use cleave and MS on reset
keep it on cd
When do we use MS on aoe? 2 targets? Or never?
Less than 5 targets :))
Thats if you have sweeping strikes up
MS does about x3 damage in ST compared to cleave
Also use if there's a prio target. Good example is the miniboss in rlp
esp. this week, bolstering
DN climbing
with sweeping strikes
thing is ms is doing 600-900k to a prio target
MS is insane prio target tbh
dreadnaught is just fun and dumb haha
Arms is so fun since I started min maxxing DN
nishwarriorgodx
Just slapping on multitarget spar
Show me ur DPS breakdown I wanna see how you do it
press button > dps go up
i dont get how you guys are having cleave as your top damage
ive been trying the new build from last night dan
and it was in a nelth
training dummy
i went back to jugg cause prio damage is my thing
How many targets before you prioritize Cleave?
This was my breakdown over a nelth 5
minimum 4 targets
5t with ss up, 3t without
ideally more than 5 targets
so not high key and most packs like 4-5 targets
debatable on using it period if theres a prio target
fuck cleeavee imo
SS works with Cleave?
other than applying wounjds
no
but if you have SS up you MS on higher target count (up to 4)
Oh, okay. That's what I thought. Read that funny.
Been speccing out of double Bladestorm and running cleave.
yep nect week replacing lariet with it on neck then grabbing absorb ring from vendor the week after
wow leech!
vers > leeech
leech irrelevant lmao
enchanted with leech!
the only tert that matters is speed
get some avoid on that shit NOW
because speed. is. life.
lol

I miss the 3/5% speed gems. :(
next week
I crafted wrist yesterday
bro i need some gloves desperately
my monk in s2 was in absolute full bis with 20% speed
what a time to be alive
and i'll buy Diurna's seal next time I can
and a 486 bsl cape
im FIENDING for new gloves
I had like 114-118% movement speed from Sanctum of Domination and on, pretty much.
but thats fixed on tuesday
The rotation changes from yesterday are not in the wowhead guide yet, right?
iirc my speed got to the point of DRing hard so i even had avoid enchants on
110% right now with new set, since a bunch of old pieces had tertiaries.
since a speed enchant was like barely 1%
Got up to 123%. lol
Dumb question, does ss increase out st dmg because of dreadnaught?
if it hits a second target yes
we're buying diruna ring nedxt right
Tuesday can't soon enough... wow boring :0
Yes
lel
diurna ring =/= diurna's chosen
that is the eranog ring
diurna ring is seal of filial duty
oh
im not even just necessarily correcting you btw
the absord shield on it is insane
i dont even know which one he was talking about
also sadly my warr has not been lucky with terts yet this season
i usually dont get lucky
last season was an outlier and got leech for myth chest on 3 chars
About when are you able to do 400-500k dps? I haven't had much time to play this season just curious when I will be capable
Where can I find Arms rotation because WoWhead is wrong, reading over APL is a nightmare, FAQ still mentions 10.1 and just isn't updated.
Wow head should be good. The aoe is more a priority list
ST is keep ms on CD, reapply rend a little early so you don't have to during CDs
WW x2 in CS
Exe exe X MS in execute. If you spam x3 exes eventually you'll find yourself starved so fitting in OP is good especially if no wft 
X being a third exe or OP for rage positive global
Keep Whirlwind (Storm of Swords) on cooldown, prioritized just after Warbreaker, and ahead of Bladestorm.```
So these two parts seem simple enough if you compare to WoWhead priority list but
```Only use Cleave with 2 stacks of Martial Prowess (and only >4 targets if during Sweeping Strikes), prioritized just after the afformentioned Whirlwind.```
This can be really awkward because if you end up Whirlwind > 2x OP > Cleave > Thunder Clap you're still waiting on whirlwind with 1x martial so at that point are you just MS in 20 target lol?
I dunno
@proud plover are u running uproar
Then I go watch Crit play a key and it doesnt add up at all tbh the way he plays opener in packs compared to priority list tbh.
S3 it all made sense and with cleave + new APL, the guides + how top players play dont match anymore.
well keep in mind
slight variations of a talent or two
can change your prio list
the guide here mentions buying eranog ring if I don't have the legendary, but how exactly do I proc the ring?
Helmet enchant and/or shadowflame patch
thank you all
It's actually a fairly minimal diff if you play it "perfectly" or not
A large portion of our dmg is our bleeds
So if you 1x some cleaves vs double OP 2x cleaves, it's really not going to be a massive diff across a key as a whole
an deeznuts !
mfw i played raid with a new ui this week and i noticed my damage was really poor
and i found my rend uptime was like 70%
because new ui i didnt pay attention to my rend timer
lmao
Prio for AoE:
TC (if Rend isn't up)>TR>WB>WW>Cleave (If 2x OP stacks & (SS up & 4+ targets / SS not up and 3+ targets) > MS (if 2x OP stacks and SS up) > OP (If SS is up > BS (if SS not up) > OP > MS (If 2x Exe stacks & 2 (or less) targets) > Exe (if SS up / 2 or less targets) > TC (if 3+ targets) > MS
To summarize the updated APL from SimC
i have 30% haste on the dot 
But you'd charge>TC>TR>Ava/WB>go into the prio list above
But if you ava before TR for example you'd lose an avatar GCD but it's minimal overall
Ava is lined up with WB generally speaking
Ok thankyou.
Don’t forget cleave after TC
Out of curiousity why do we cleave after TC in opener (noticed Crit doing that) before going into CD's?
Wait nvm you talking raid ST?
Tierset. You have a very good chance to proc it
Oh yeah I understand
With cleave before using major CDs
To proc tier, but again...if you miss the cleave, it may proc off WB/your 1st MS or cleave, it's still fairly minimal
Across a whole key
Sorry not off WB, but off your 1st MS/Cleave into the pack
Also the reason crit videos might not line up with wowhead is because archi just put out an update today
Rather have it up for bladestorm tho
I can genuinely say I regularly fuckup the cleave 1st, or pop Ava/WB before roar, and my overalls are basically always identical at 15/16s
Obsessing over too much nuance that is, at the end of the day, still a bit RNG
You crit or don't crit, you proc more OPs vs less etc
It tends to even out
Stick to the general prio, use CDs on CD, don't die
how much haste does arms want?
Well ya but hitting 8 targets with cleave gives you a pretty good chance at a crit
Ofc, I'm not saying it's not a good idea, I'm saying if you miss it sometimes it's not gonna break your DPS
I understand it's all minute but I wanna do 510k overall not 500k you know what Im saying 🙂
Overall has so many veriables
You could do 500 or 510 based on pullsize, RNG, other factors just as easily as the cleave before WB may cause it or not cause it
you could play better in the exact same key you do before but the pulls could be different or another class could steal aoe etc
I ended at like 800k in an AA yesterday, we then did another and I was like 764.
Timed both, could be I played better, could be our rogue played better, could be RNG
These are miniscule things that if you obsess over you'll likely fuck up a mechanic or something
See exactly, I wanna do 800k and my best is 588k (no buffs except maybe PI wasnt sure who got that) and pulls were pretty decent.
Lincs team probably does the whole dungeon in like 10 pulls
you wont compete with that with pug tanks
This was with an aug, and a BRM, and with a planned route
^
Team keys pull to maximize, pugs do not
If I dont have Fyralakk, should I get ashkandur with my bullions?
It has a special effect
are u trying to farm fyralath still or not
Not farming it
if not ye get ashkandur, if you are still trying for it then smth else like ring or trinket
Not gonna try to get it either
then yeah sword is ur best bet
ty
will fyr'alalath drop awakened in the third week ?
You think blizz is gonna let you farm less?
true i guess
i got a question about bullions
im very low ilvl so im thinking to spend my bullions on a good trinket
since its my lowest ilvl
and because i dont have fyralath
Check the pins for advice
sure
Trinkets are always a good choice though
kk thanks
weapon(s) > trinkets.
did ashkandur effect count as auto attack?
Honestly debating getting mythic whispering icon > ring next week
that is the question
no, it just triggers from autos
I was just coming in to scroll up and look for M+ trinket discussion. Is whispering icon winning out?
Wondering that myself 🤨
Problem is both OCE and Whispering simming high depends on other people having it
yeah so it doesnt generate rage
would be op
Ye
OCE is slightly stronger stronger, while Icon is easier to maximize provided your tanks/healers actually go for it - so I would highly recommend you speak to your group and figure out their plans
This is so odd, nokhud trink is simming slightly above puzzlebox on 2 and 3m 8min sims, guess it's because most of puzzlebox' value is the upfront burst
the benefit of OCE is any five people across your raid can use it, but it's also unlikely you fill out that whole group in M+, so if that's your concern I'd either go with Icon, or more realistically use something like Pips/Nelths while waiting to see what the rest of the community does
I'm personally gonna go Pips/Nelths since I fill in for peeps cuz not sp/mage/aug D: lol
how many targets? My experience is that Nokud does well in ST, but falters in MT
Sorry 8 target
interesting
Ye I think it's weird too
CDeez
I was lucky enough to loot a Nelths, so it basically solved that problem for me too - I'll still probably try to get an Icon/OCE for raid, but M+ I can just use Nelth + Box and not have to worry about the group makeup
And now I'm debating if it's worth the swap for the prio dmg if it's basically equal across AOE
Interesting.. yeah my group isn't going OCE or icon. So it's probably what... puzzle box > all for M+?
Man we had the hunter 1 drop both heroic and mythic -.- sadness lol
well you were already using puzzle box, the question was the other trinket
Yeah exactly. Using irideus at the moment.
I wouldn't go double on use if I could avoid it
I'm using double on use, irid+box
it's doable, but annoying lol
God it's the worst. That's why I'm trying to switch.
Good morning skyhold
But it says swapping box for nokhud>swapping irid frag, which I think is the mastery gap in my gear
Yeah I'd go for Pips, Nelths, anything with strong passive value
Probably fixed tues when I get gloves/can swap my shit tier legs off
At least you can bind irideus to a cooldown or something to save a keybind here and there. But puzzle box is pain to me.
it's ok if you precast in M+ or short raid fights
Ye I have puzzlebox on it's own key, use prepull, then I macro'd irid into the next WB I use when avail
That's exactly what I do.
You get 30 seconds of box time which is crazy because that’s an entire big pack in most of these dungeons at a decent level
anvil and spiteful storm are also good ST picks if you need a non-OCE/icon backup
It's not, packs last 1.5-2m at higher keys
depends on the level you're doing too
If your tank is just taking 20 seconds inbetween pulls also it loses value
Does it make sense to go Diurna's next week if you have hero track on two of the top ~4 trinkets?
probably yeah, you can also just sim stuff
Yeah I feel the lack of prio damage on last boss in BH and I'm not even hitting high keys yet.
I was playing around with sims and ring simmed pretty well
Yeah, it's a whole other effect on top of a normal rings budget
when do we pop the legendary in the ST opener? Before the CDs?
getting aug buffed to pad in aa goes hard 
jesus christ man
i just got a party where my healer died 25 times
in nokhud offensive
this is actually insane
i think i'm not using enough cleaves lol
Hey, quick question. is there a way to get root break on tindral with arms? i know about the bladestorm and Avatar ones but i think we do not hold thos for the roots right?
Play gnome./
those are the only skills that break lose from immobilizers
make a paladin freedom you or monk tigers lust
well first of all we don't take BS for tindral
And no we don't hold ava for roots
You just gotta dps through it
I mean
We don't really have a point of holding anything unless it's for a huge damage amp
Like smoldy
You do on Mythic
or if the boss fucks off during CDs and we know tit's gonna happen
its unlikely that with our gear you will need to hold ava for that root set at :50, although just in case theres a close fire beam you might want to make sure your possitining is set so you have a bit of time
So the dps loss is worth it?
if for some reaosn your dmg was super bad, then yeah you'd want to save ava for it and just pop your stuff at :50 like on prog
You're still getting your full use case out of Avatar by holding it till 50 second
But yeah
If your raid dps is really good, then you'd phase before the time 2nd fliers have a chance to go up maybe
are we beating ret on boss fights in m+?
but single BS warlords they pull ahead of us right?
yes
I mean it'd also help if I had the fucking four set
we playing jugg for tyrannical?
oof that is a big part. our 4p is crazy good
pretty sure we are
most people are not
like
Most people don't like swapping that much
if i see a comp with a priest and a ret
i will definitely go as jugg
i can't do the same AOE as them anyway 
the 1 bladestorm build is the go to build for everything. doesn't lose that much st and has really good aoe
i've messed around w/ jugg the past few days, i'm kinda surrpised how much it seems to pump in a pug
well i mean, it loses 12ishK ST, it just depends on how much that means to you
