rage changes got me feeling things
its not even that big of a difference but the vibe has changed
it's a very big difference in execute
It feels like im a new to warrior with the update
Agreed
seek deity
isn't BM supposed to be bugged
I thought it was surv
Teach me your ways oh friend of odyn
ravager
DF arms was an abomination
if u disagree u smell bad

fury was better like first few weeks of s2
it was like the best spec in the game
for like 2 weeks
if even
it was best spec in pre patch for approx 15 minutes
and the only reason was that every boss had adds
shouldnt fury be better at larry ?
idk im pretty sure arms was just better than fury in s2
if not better, equal depending on what fight you were doing
and what role you had the warrior in the group doing
fury out dpsed arms on neltharion and sark the entire season cause pad
but arms had more boss dmg and thats what matters
fury was better for first 2 weeks on s2 yeah
you wanna see bugged?
that's a 9 academy
and a 490 hunter
except echos was the most insane arms fihgt ever existed
fury was like the strongest spec period in the game first 2 weeks lol
idk i just straight up disagree
what trinkets did you use?
augury/oce
disagreeing with facts is not healthy
u just cant disagree it was statistics
prove it
lol okay let me dig up the early s2 sims
fury was one of the top simming classes but also you couldnt really get to furys sim dps
very very low variance and hard to get within like 2k dps of your sim
and forgetting that most of the time you would do more dmg anyway cause of cleave
do you hit whirlwind at all?
this is overall
you can see arms was dogshit
the fights in general were just great for arms
until they scaled
tbf i do agree that fury wasnt better at kazarra if it got 2 beams
aka aura buffs
As to my knowledge BM are not bugged. New talents just super good, fall of a bit in TWW because hero talents are kinda meh. Surv is bugged.
was whirlwind used as a filler for that fight you did?
only experiments, nelth and sark for prio dmg
and zskarn
maggy kazzara amalg and assault didnt matter
rashok fury might be better bc they have more self sustain which can save ppl in last minute of the fight
wasn't better on zskarn, you couldn't get too much meaningful cleave as arms there while fury could actually do some meaningful burst on adds
Guys? this talent bugged?
was this screenshot taken today or from back then
yes im aware how fury simmed
back then
i literally know who made the sims
used wayback machine
cool
who compiled the sims*
its just default profiles
and you ran all of them
and the profiles are presumably made by archi
for warrior
Yeah fury was what was better for literally first 1-2 weeks
And then arms pulled ahead
i distinctly even remember prog during those 2 weeks
the original ones we made i had to put in furys tier
go prot guy go

Bugged in what way? If you mean its new effect, that's how it is now and moving forward in TWW.
i wouldve played arms on zskarn and sark but we needed more add damage and every time i tried to switch it just wouldnt work
with how we had our comp
thats my concern with some end bosses now
if the effect does not activate or activates sometimes it is rare
arms is so good rn but like losing DN kinda blows
for like intermissions adds on all 3 last bosses
I ended up playing arms on sark for the prio dmg, killed zskarn during the cheese corner strat period though so didn't really matter what you played on that then
arms was just better with how the raid worked, lusting p3 nelth and the whole of p2 and getting haste buffs during execute phase on sark
two most important bosses arms was better on depending on your comp
How did you do 900k dps per second might i ask?
Not aware of that one, but it does have an unintended interaction with collateral damage talent. It could be bugged though, would need more testing.
Thanks bro ❤️
this was my breakdown if it helps, just spammed tf out of cleave lol
gaming tho
do we need to track collateral damage?
not really no, you'll be spamming Cleave anyways, so you'll just have a massive one in the hopper for when you use it next
there's situations where it's nice though, like at the end of a pack when there's not many mobs left
you could carry that into a fresh pack instead of blowing a JUICED cleave into 2 napkin-health enemies
did you do a myhtic key ?
yeah that's a m+ key
Do you just hit slam for single target?
I dont have slam on my bar
just spam ms
ms > op > cleave > tc is what i've been doing st
Amazing, can you post your spec? This is an MT/Mythic build?
Cheers
is this a single target and multi target build?
what addon gives you those spec buttons at the bottom right
assuming that's what they are
I think

ehhh fury taking care of adds was pretty important on nelth as well
earlier on imo at least
arcane, dev and other passive cleave could handle most of that
didn't wanna overdo it
yep goated addon
i hate the idea of fury on nelth
fury is brutal but legit just play what's most fun for you
its not even a season
its prepatch
yeah it works well on bosses and aoe packs
by brutal do you mean big deeps
and i'm gonna play what's most fun for me regardless tbh but both fury and arms are equally fun lmao
I’ve seen posted* 1m+ overalls on arms
No fury data
Pretty sure Critcake is streaming fury
first impressions the general talent tree seems like a huge improvement
pretty easy to improve on shit
Ive got 900k neltharus overall +10
easy dmg
how do you want to make use of sweeping strikes and bladestorm with bonegrinder and collateral damage in a dungeon?
we were lost
like should you not use SS right after bladestorm so you can stack more collateral damage? or does it not matter?
Should ravager be used @player or @mouseover ?
was battlelord also supposed to reset cleave? Or was it intended to only reset MS?
Is TC gone and we have to use rend now or is that a TWW thing?
it used to be MS and Cleave, now it's just MS
Tlcap still applies rend in AoE, but you now want to cast Rend (natural) in Single Target since it has signicantly more Attack Power scaling on the upfront hit
ty
Either one, be aware that if you use [@player] you'll want to already be amongst your targets when you cast it, to ensure maximum damage throughput
[@cursor] gives you more control on making sure it goes in the center of a pack, but you gotta be aware of your mouse placement
(and, you know... casting things into the ceiling on accident, thanks blizz)
I find that [@mouseover] can sometimes cast through the ground and cause issues tho
or it catches the roof
or in pvp it goes on top of the flag pole 🙃
I prefer @player, but i think it's better to @cursor and just be concious of mouse placement
You can use this macro in order to have only 1 button bound if u want : )
#showtooltip
/cast [nochanneling, known:Thunder Clap] Thunder Clap; Rend
@player and brain off it is then. Thanks
the unhinged talent looks bad 1 extra MS every other cast?
2 ms per ravager
oh deal dmg nvm
where did WW go from my spellbook?
OOOH
and many of the Whirlwind-empowering talents now impact Cleave as well
Cleave is such a fun button to press now
WW taking a hike
Imo
Cleave triggering Fervor of Battle + Collateral Damage is pretty sick
should you be pressing cleave during SS?
Yeah I think 3 targets + you cleave on cd right
if you have Fervor of Battle talented: yes
because Cleave now triggers a Slam on your primary target, and that Slam gets swept
That explains why I have slam in my damage breakdown
Man I didn’t read my talents
I just took a talent tree and pressed buttons
I was about to ask what that is
basically the more you Cleave/OP during Sweeping Strikes, you get a MASSIVE cleave at the end of your SS window
SS should basically be used any time there's more than 1 target around you (and you're not about to Bladestorm)
hell yeah, then SS away!
It feels wrong and weird to have Ravager over Bladestorm as an Arms Warrior
I find bladestorm so unfun and unintuitive to play personally
what's the case for Ravager > Bladestorm>
Not looking forward to playing it with Slayer
you can do things while ravager is rolling, such as blowing Sweeping Strikes earlier since the Mortal Strikes within it sweep
it's more priority based damage
But in a mobility fight, BS > Ravager no?
Probably yeah
so you'll get 3 Mortal Strikes out of a ravager (via Unhinged), each gets swept if you have SS active, meaning you can do your full rotation while also getting a free 3 stacks of Collateral Damage
you dont really wanna Sweeping Strikes before a bladestorm, since you can't cast while it's active
Yea that makes sense, so Ravager unless its a mobility fight
I think ravager is stronger for when you need priority damage into targets throughout the dungeon
since you can MS into the big target while sweeping around it
feel like my rage gen is super low compared to before, am i just bad or what
no, that's accurate, arms got its rage generation heavily reduced
should i just be spamming less
spell costs were also reduced to match, but we're more rage starved than before
in execute you wanna wait for 60 rage instead of 40 to cast Execute now, but otherwise it's still just MS on CD and fill with others
hehehehe "i was pump-ing"
guys do we hit cleave on ST?
no, we should hit Mortal Strike, Overpower, and Rend, with Slam as filler
Cleave consumes your "martial prowess" buff, so it weakens your Mortal Strike on accident if you use it in Single Target
o ok
Wait slam does ridiculous damage?
or does something make slams happen? lmao
I pressed slam 4 times and it's like 12m damage, that doesn't make sense
i'll need a bit more context to help with that one, are you hitting a single target? AoE? Sweeping strikes? Which talents?
That sounds like fervor
Wait
agreed, if you were pressing Cleave at all with Fervor of Battle talented you're automatically casting slams secretly
Did we lose whirlwind?
no, Cleave just replaces it now
more rage starved sucks
we also dont have TWW gear yet, not that it full saves it, but we're in a transitional state right now
Arms pulling ahead right now?
But also slam actually does do damage now
Need some spec to raid
Check wowhead, it's updated
I know about wowhead
Just need to know arms of fury..
Iam simming but i think tis bugged on raidbots
just pick one you feel like playing its prepatch its not a big deal
Yeah that makes sense
Is there a build list we’re going off of here that I’m missing?
/cast [@player] Ravager Not working?
WAIT
IM dumb
No its not working working whats the right syntax??
looks correct
that should work
its working nvm
lol
it literally still wasn't in my bars
ooo that’s smart i alwyas do a @cursor macro
@cursor requires way too much forethought for me
The wowhead guide reads to use sudden death procs in multi target but the suggested aoe M+ build doesn't use Sudden death.
Also many thanks to those that manage the wowhead guides etc. I know y'all have been working really hard to have everything ready and it's much appreciated
This tuning is blizzards way of saying, “don’t say you were never top dps”. They’re letting us be on top for 1 month before they neuter us when the expansion comes around.
Theres a passage under Execute rotation that I dont understand
"Mortal Strike is used exclusively to maintain Rend and Deep Wounds at two stacks of Executioner's Precision"
Im understanding this as if you only press execute to maintain bleeds but its higher on the rotation tab
So is MS still casted when it reaches two stack of EP or only when you want to reapply bleeds
Arms is simming less than fury for me with optimized stats. Is there a new talent build post the changes?
Im simming top gear with all enchant and gems and its not even 0.2% to go crit
Ive seen people say stack crit earlier not sure if thats still the go to
Sims just aren’t rly right currently
Even with nerfs/buffs?
Just look what other people are using on logs
Patch has been out for like less than 24 hours chillll lol
Chill? Im just asking if theres a new build lol
There’s some info in the wowhead guide
Yo is cleave bugged and doing too much damage?
@smoky kayak when simming, I’m not getting anywhere near the 560k mark that you referenced in your tww update
without whilwind it feels weird
it is a little weird, but you basically weave MS and use TC if you have to
though the nice thing is that you keep up a lot of priority damage while doing your AoE
cleave hits like truck
Did they nerf cleave?
I dunno... it just hits oddly harder
It aint doing what it was an hour ago on the dummies
I was doing 1.8 million burst, now it aint doing shit in raid lol
You use skullsplitter with TR sure but do you also just use it on CD outside of it
Maybe like MS > OP > skull > slam
ofcourse you do, you get 2 sks casts for each troar
oops been doing 1
not as in 2 casts within a single troar. as in the cd is twice as short basically, so you would waste sks casts if you didn't use on cd
Ah that makes more sense, i see then
ye in raid atleast, not really payed attention for m+ when it comes to arms
Was just thinking that I felt pretty ragestarved throughout a bracken+10 run I just did just to see how my damage is now...
sitting here, tired, now facepalming as I completely forgot to use ravager.
Am I a pro now?
Are we up boys?? Or fury
Play what's fun to you ❤️
Yep
I thought fury was but without changing my gear between the two, arms was doing more for me on dummies. Cleave does a lot
its weird they rage starved us kinda sucks
why did they nerf tank dmg so hard?
my overall went up like 200k or 300 almost
I dont remember ever finishing a key at 680k lol
People saying crit is doing a lot better
But sim
Ilvl? Key?
Yoyo is unhinged bugged? pumping lots on M+
ayo yo whoa whoa WHOA WHAO WHAT is this https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/nfkn3fQaQytRJPbFjg1ZUw
8 527 ilvl
Why does cleave breakdown in to 2 seperate instances? Seismic Reverb?
might be the buffed cleave with colat v normal
One or the other I'm sure
anyone else sim their arm and get that? that like 63k higher than my fury... what the freak
Arms is back baby
What happened? Why so high now?
Hmm…just earlier today I was only simming for 511k
THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE FURY WARRIORS AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR YOU IN TWW
using latest build
Hmm..I’ll try again later. Maybe raidbots updated
but still that seems jiga high
mines 100k lower lol
thx yeah was just curious what I should least be looking at as a starting point to refine the sims
this what i got for u
swapping just that
Blood Elf minus dps tax
Im feeling exactly the same
Feel like im always rage starved
made a humie in remix for a reason
same thing here in neltharus 9 with my warrior..... and it wouldve been more if i didnt die from unexpected aggro 2 times 
i like this prepatch with my warrior tbh
We're finally where we belong
we going to get nerfed 100%
How do you guys not feel like youre running out of rage
Am i missing something in the rotation
It feels fine for me but I'm only 516 ilvl
executephases in m+ on bosses are a bit slow but else im fine with 40% haste
but the bosses around +10 die fast anyways so
Our job is doing 1 mil DPS on big trash pulls
Bosses are whatever
double that and we are good
I don't have the axe 

It's just not dropping ok
tried arms earlier and feel kinda rage starved now
axe is fake
I took a break in s3
am i just bad or...
nah, it all depends on your tactician procs
and so you starve
i got it on my warrior first when dk was my main and rerolled on warrior because we had none anyways in our raid and 3 weeks later it dropped on dk so i did that crap 2 times
why do we see souls from a demon hunter now?
now i dodge fyrakk with my pally bc i dont want to see that thing again
I really want the transmog for it and I know it's gonna be hell to do it in tww
I'm hoping this weeks my week
gotta start mastering the charge weave
reminds me of SoD
it only feels weak in single target the rage generation
im sure there will be enough raids for it but maybe you should get the mats before tww starts
true, aoe I feel pretty much unstoppable
I think I have everything except for the stuff that needs to be crafted
Maybe some shadow fire essence are missing I dunno but they are cheap right now
Not like I'm using any of my gold anyway
execute phase feels bad just like always out of rage
and its not that its bad.. damage seems pretty high. just feels unfun
mmmh quick sim says 427k on weekly and 477k on latest build for me thats weird
this is absolutely cursed
im not sure but finishing your burst with 1 mil+ cleaves can cause some aggro problems for tanks 
could have sworn i saw a 1.5m mortal strike or cleave lol
that was just in uldaman
highest cleave and ms in nelth was 1.2 each
we gun get nerfed
@smoky kayak is arms still dumping excess rage with IP?
we dont use TOM anymore so why would you
Also there really isn’t excess rage now
That hasn't worked for a long time just use IP for incoming aoe or something
im sure we could reach way higher cleave crits with timing sweeping strikes outside of warbreaker but idk if thats useful.... but would be fun to find the highest crit xD
More rage starved
so far im in the lead 1.5m lol
with photo evidence
there's no offensive benefit, but you can defensively yes (just don't over use it)
@gilded stump @smoky kayak thank you both, its been some time since I've played
np
arms is doing crazy dmage
i think we got that 30% buff from beta, oh its pinned we did get it
Pretty much have never posted here but for a 16 BH it feels good.
i dont know about the current dps-status of the hero talents but ive tested both on beta and i really hope slayer stays competitive in both raid and m+ i just dont like colossus
if yes i guess warrior will be my main
what build
i wanna try some m+
im not a fan of channeling abilitys with melees
dont know how hard i have to talent into cleave
did u play fervor/collat/imp ss
or just cleave with st
The new wowhead bladestorm build with unhinged.
Warr is kinda op rn but its too bad itll only last less than 4 weeks
where you get that icon bro?
I suppose it's a good problem to have but tanks just can't hold aggro during warrior burst lol
Yeah the scaling right now is ridiculous, the closer you get to 80 the less stats you will have. So cant really tell how the dmg is yet
Is it bugged to be cleaving this hard? Someone mentioned a bug but I didn't see anything about it from people talking about it
Fair enough. Someone said bug but I didn't hear anyone saying that anywhere else
yeah i just died 3 time, like new mob coming to pack, cleave that (beacause why not ) insta aggro, spam defensiv, tank cannot even take aggro on all mob -> Dead

Rip illidan
but all those 6's
bro is demonic
is this the correct ravager macro?
#showtooltip
/cast [nomod, @player] Ravager
/cast [mod:shift] Ravager
ok it worked
am i trippin? can you cancel BS aura again?
never realized that was the reason, maybe i should read more often
it wasn't in the text, just a for fun flavor thing :3
it was. i remember specifically seeing one of the talents (hurricane) saying that with that talent selected BS cannot be cancelled for its duration
Are we Skullsplitting on CD or just during roar etc
Yeah
but every other you can hold it for a few seconds like make sure its in the roar window
yar
do you use it just after roar?
while Roar is ticking
We love Hrothmar
the context is that your talent, Thunderous Words, amplifies all of your bleeds while Troar is actively ticking on your target.
- Skullsplitter makes your Rend/DW tick faster for a bit
- If you Skullsplitter while Troar is ticking, that faster ticking is hitting harder thanks to Thunderous Words
im in the middle of moving between apartments and all I want to do is play with the new talents and update auras 
this is helping my brain in the mean time haha
i wasn't sure if the play was jsut before troar or sometime after it
makes sense tho
we tried playing around it in sims but the best result came from just pressing SkS whilst Troar is up on the target
So just send SkS as long as its troar is there
Since SkS is like a 21s cd I personally hold the 2nd for a few seconds for troar
totally! Roar is a 16sec window, so the only real limitation you want to be aware of is your rend duration and roar duration. You'd lose some power if you cast it and either one ended prematurely, but that's not likely to happen
if we use on ~CD, every 2d would goes with roar
roar is 45s CD in our best raid build talents
oh, sry, so 2nd )
owns
If you drop a point from deft experience and put it into sharpened blades you might hit it

You own

I know people like to shit on arms
but i find it fun tbh

Execute might be a bit of an issue but meh
Being able to actually use slam instead of WW and TC on CD because there's no other filler feels 100000 times better
Amen
Arms good
It feels complete
Big MS on Cd, Slam as a filler and to proc OP
OP to buff MS and generate some rage during the gcds
idk im smoking something maybe
Yeah i dont really like the rotation on fury at all, i perfer arms all day
is slayer or colossus looking better for arms numbers wise and gameplay wise
🔮
Yes
Correct.
yeah
Demolish is a nice button to press. I think it would be horrible to press bladestorm in ST and most of the Slayer stuff doesn't buff Ravager.
So from a gameplay pov I think colossus but numbers wise who knows
Parried

it can get parried btw
🧢
Have you played any boss im the history of wow ever
I will now stand behind smolderon and ignore the soak!
Well half the time you ain't stood behind him
Bring back spell resist
Can be on live aswell
How will I get value from Storm Wall if they do this 🤪
delete juggernaut
delete parry
Parry actually has to go
(also stormwall icd killed talent so why care)
I remember doing smolderon
I had avatar+cs
Like 2 op stacks maybe
I hit ms and it parries

If you defend parry you got dropped as a kid 
The solution is to bring back weapon skill
Blizzard defends parry no wonder the game is bad

Correct
I mean yeah parry is fucking horrid. Demolish still feels good tho
Instead of focusing on making the game better they make trolls have pink hair option
Troll beards when
10% size increse for warrior when
@steep osprey dans back btw
Saw already, thanks
did they take away whirlwind from arms?
No
only if you talent into cleave
No, you still have the spell. You just dont use it.
I really like how arms feels rn
My feelycrafting stonks are up
Did AA last night and did 4.5m dps on the first pull 
Yea but tanks are weird, feels like they do no dmg and have no aggro
the aggro is more of a pre patch scaling thing prolly
idk tank threat feels even worse somehoe
truely a tilter when u do 1m overalls and ure just running half the fucking pulls
Only played with vdh ppal and guardian
guardian felt by far nicest to play with
But prepatch is fake af anyway lets b real
Usually ppal or brew worked out for me but i havent been able to play yet
Get dat Aug in group for the buff that reduces threath by 30% xD
but ive also not touched arms so
brews vary so much somehow
Hard spec innit
not a surprise when the spec has 14 rotational abilities
just learn to play smh
Probably because brew is the only tank that needs more than 2 Brain cells
im only exaggerating a bit
idk brew ST rot is harder to play optimally than s4 arms with varying 4-9 targets
It lost 5 apparently
does anyone have a arms build that ican try for pvp because the builds im going on and trying just do not feel right at all and i feel like im putting zero damge out
Its just dumb
still 8 too many
Yeaa
tbh pwar is kinda like that too, some players just do negative damage but i dont get how you can mess up pwar
Play with a pally that will bop you on cd smile
Pwarr outside cds moment
when are they getting back blessing of salv
How are u out of CDs with am tho
just wait until war within where you'll feel the diff between good and bad tank even more
i mean i doubt ill do keys past weekly

no big anda keys?
anyone have any tips as to the best way to sync up collateral damage with merciless bonegrinder? do i use my avatar before, after or during my Bladestorm for best results?
Nothing suprises me anymore Crit. Not after i met the 520 ilvl Fury warrior that didn't have rampage on bars and didn't know whirlwind made him cleave
Boi didn't even break 100k DPS 💔
Buyer?
9 avatars per pack moment
5 shield walls per pack
I think he was just really dimwitted @gaunt minnow . Like i tried to explain to him in whisper and he really tried to learn
siege mists and necrotic wake
Was just not connecting
are fundamentally flawef
Blizz keeps designing keys in a way they're not fun to me
mists is a banger 
Mist needs a fix. How can they think melee likes being unable to do ANYTHING for extended periods of time
ye but melee with high uptime beat ranged cause its harder to have high uptime as melee

dungeon designer is also mage designer (secret lore)
I guess everyone learns at different paces
Yea ofc. But one would think you at least knew how to get spells out of the book. That was one issue he had
i cant wait to see teams just use evoker and grips to stand on a random ass pole and afk turret
Truly riveting gameplay
Wonder how they would fix the pole stuff. Making them Evade if Group size is X but mobs can only target Y amount of players?
True, can't be to hard to just send a few peeps in and see if they can get onto stuff
ehhh
exhaustive testing isnt really real
Leave it to an army of nerds figuring out some weird shit
Heck give me sub for a month and I'd easily be able to test all dungeons in a day :p
Not that hard to just spam leap abilities in all available spaces
am i trippin or are yall finding it harder to pool rage?
i need to look over these patch notes ig i didnt read shit
Rage generation was reduced
What is the logic behind only executing at 60 rage? Otherwise if op is down do you just wait for the 60 or just send ms?
cs doesnt proc reck
game is over
It seems weird not having a torment talented
it feels good
my reck cs 
Coming back for tww when we lose all crit from gear
Execute at 60 means you'll have 32 rage for immediate follow up with ms due to refunds. 60-40ex+4refund+8refund
I've been offline for the last 2 months and barely had enough time to look at the new tree since yesterday. Is arms feeling yay or nay?
proud of you sweetie <3
Thanks!
pretty baller still. im bursting as much as other people seem to be in fury. on dummies i can almost hit 3 mileven tho it d rops down to 1.5-1.6 after a minute 30. but fury ill burst the same (s3 2p + s4 2p) but then drop down to about 1.1-1.2 mil by a minute 30. tho ive mained arms this whole season so im rusty on fury
feeling something off w/ the rage though in keys, like trying to even stack a couple overpower buffs for my MS is getting tricky. kind of just having to use base spells, even still im doing more dps than everyone except hunters, but go figure -.-
In aoe, when cleave is on cooldown and I have no charges of overpower, what should I be pressing. Mortal strike, thunderclap and slam seem to be the options and I'm sure it is target count and sweeping strikes dependent.
Is there a way to check for sure how many hc kills that counts toward bad luck protection for leggo? Got a weakayra that says i’ve gotten 30 lessers used and 17 greater, i should be at 100% and leggo still didnt drop today on heroic. I have total 19 kills on hc fyrakk so 2 is for sure log kills i guess
In any case waiting on response from gm on ticket cause im confused af
Yeah, according to the new prio it's cleave, then op with sweeping strikes then ms then op without I'm pretty sure
So you still wanna send ms I'm pretty sure
If I was reading it correctly
Oh really? MS > OP without SS?
I do feel like I have a bunch of rage and that would help dump it better.
I assume that we only want to use Martial Prowess(30% damage buff OP gives to your next MS or Cleave) on cleaves in aoe. And I don't feel like I have a good system for making sure that MS doesn't use my stacks of Martial prowess.
Also, when you sweeping strikes OP does it send two Dreadnaughts(Overpower causes a seismic wave)?
AOE you go Cleave OP2 OP1 MS with SS at 4+ Targets and always without SS
In 3 target or less you go MS OP2 OP1 Cleave with SS up and Cleave OP2 OP1 MS when SS Down
yes
You let MS consume your martial prowess (MP) at high target count? I do not understand that. Or am I reading what you wrote incorrectly.
its priority
why do you seperate out both op charges despite them being the same prio am i missing smth
I think that's for clarity.
so ppl dont think i just mean to press op once
ic
I understood what OP2 and OP1 meant.
so basically you hit Cleave whenever you can. Then if you cant hit cleave you wanna spend both charges of OP, then if you have no cleave or no op to press you only then press MS
Thats what the priortity means
E.g. if you had 10 targets, it makes sense to me that you'd want to have your MP be consumed by cleave because cleave does more damage at 10 targets vs MS or MSx2(due to SS).
Or is it just that getting spells on cooldown results in more damage then micro managing MP.
With the priority I linked most of your MP's will be consumed by Cleave regardless, but MP is not a thing you should look out about. Only make sure you dont do 3 OP's between a MS or Cleave press
Got ya. Thanks!
What about 2 target? Specifically do we hit cleave over slam in that sitution?
from the top of my head no
without ss or with?
with ss up
Both
when ss down then yes
slam
I assume slam with SS
Cleave is 100% AP scaling slam is 80% AP scaling
Slam has a bunch of mods doesn't it.
I mean easy test
Yeah, it's a slow day at work and I'm just pondering.
My only real complain is execute phase right now
Oh? Do tell.
Just feels off to me I miss the days of spamming execute lol
Now its more methodical and you ahve to actually think about it
CUrrently it plays the same as s4 without wft totem
you def get less executes in
Wait a minute would this mean we cleave over slam in single target? 100%AP vs 80%AP for 20 rage. We'd have to be careful to not consume MP in this case I'm sure.
Well yes but there is still alot of moments where you have the chance to ms exe exe exe ms
Yeah but minor irrelevant gain so dont bother
easier to just go MS op op slam prio for pure ST
Execute is just fun to press. Even if it's roll your face over your keyboard I'd still enjoy it.
Execute would be funner to press if you didnt have to wait 15stacks of Juggernaut before it started dealing damage
It feels like in on m+ spec and our boss damage is better than it was.
It's not as punishing to have aoe talents to our st damage.
Yes because we are playing more ST talents
There is space to go for more aoe but its not worth it
Big help for our boss damage is going Blunt instruments over warbreaker
I love having access to ravager on arms
I havent played beta so no idea which hero talent I will like better feel wise
gotta love that only one mage spec being the best spec in the game wasn't enough so they had to give the poor guys some buffs
so whats the aoe rotation with colalteral damage? press SS and keep spamming cleave + op?
also is bonegrinder good now?
like does cleave count for the "damages 2 targets" thing?
it does if you have fervor talented
oh rightt
Is it worth it to have a ravager WA which displays ticks for unhinged? 🤔 thinking for EP
what about the ms from unhinged?
how does one make such wa btw?
it does get swept, not sure if it counts towards collat tho
I had one for tornado when I played sub rogue back in the day. Was thinking about trying to reconfigure it for unhinged ravager
But unsure if it'd really be worth the hassle
i havent played around with WAs at all so im wondering how to start
Quazii has a pretty useful beginner guide to creating them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpkePkNlHeI
ran a few keys yesterday and noticed I'm starving in execute phase, did other noticed this as well? I'm unsure what changed that much
i have 528 grieftorch and 513 buzzle box and the buzzle box sim higher in mm+ is normal ?
and the augury too
mhm
yes, coz grieftorch was never good for warrior
Doube OCE big brain
I like PBox and any other passive one for M+ (without Ilvl on your picture it's hard to give a good recommendation)
thanks
sorry wasnt much active the past few days, how did our rotation change? Ravanger is go to now? and Slam repalces WW in ST?
Cleave replaces WW naturally if talented, Slam is a real button again. The overall rotation didn't change that much but in aoe you can now have some good prio damage. Cleave is good in 2+ targets (at least from my limited testing)
For raid SkS is back and you can have some good damage during the TR window (30% more damage from bleeds at 100% speed)
Some are discussing about the micromanagement of OP stacks. I don't think it's as relevant as having everything on CD (Prio damage with MS vs Cleave aoe essentially)
correct
Archimitros describes the rework as "streamlined" but there's 11+ buttons for MT/AoE :/ Is a more simplified prio list possible? For dummies like me
is it better or worse if i mention that you need to click the checkboxes above to add the missing spells
Worse 🙂
Yes, to keep it simple for myself, selected TR, Cleave, Warbreaker and Brostorm
you can macro some of them together, and the 2nd half of the list is the same abilities, just with different priorities (as phil mentioned)
Yea clearly i need to look into macros
main build for m+ doesn't have warbreaker afaik, we keep plain colossus
unless you go full aoe banana
I don't need to do M+9000 keys or parse top in the world :/ I just wanna be decent
damn not having warbreaker feels really shit doesn't it?
totally, the list looks overwhelming, but just focus on it in chunks. I have to step in to a meeting soon, but i can try and whip up something adlib quick
tbf some of that rotation can be cleaned up now after recent changes
its on my to-do list
awesome look forward to seeing it
yo are arms war broken? they do stupid dmg right now
we zug zug more
I finished a few keys around the 700/800k dps overall yesterday
less broken than survival 
expansion is The Zug Within
but yeah, it's not as complicated as a step-by-step list makes it seem; realistically the MT rotation is as easy as
- Apply Rend with TC
- press SS, Ava, TR, CS/WB, and Ravager/BS more or less on cooldown (or whenever you're got a fresh pack)
- press Cleave on cooldown
- press MS on cooldown
- press Overpower in between other GCDs
- press Execute when you can
- press TC/Slam as a filler if nothing else is available
more or less in that order
seems close to what I've seen too
with the rise of Rsham i can see the melee meta on the horizon for M+
does he know
and Cleave and MS are both used every 3-4 GCDs, so it's like
Charge -> TC -> TR -> SS -> Rav -> CS -> Cleave -> MS -> OP -> Cleave -> OP -> MS -> Cleave...
what does the opener look like in aoe?
So after your CDs, you're basically just playing whackamole with Cleave, MS, and OP
Idk we dont seem to rely on hero talent as much as like WW monk
my firend on ww lost like a TON of dmge
for aoe
I desperately need marcos to queue up 5 different buttons before I even start the rotation :/
do you rava > charge > roar > TC > ss > avatar/CS or some shit like that
would it be possible to pin this to help out players seeking info on new rotation/talents?
WW didn't get its most recent tuning pass included in the pre-patch
it feels like every time i write down something new in the opener i think of something else that might have to come before it lol
feels kinda messy, in aoe at least
TR before WB?? Don't you want to incrase the initial damage of TR too?
I mean it's all in the guide, though I can probably write out a more "keep it stupid simple" version somewhere
Just press buttons
oh this is just the opener lol, didn't even realise the question got answered as i asked it
lol
Would be greatly appreciated by the trylesshards like me
Tbh as long as your are putting stuff on CD and somewhat aiming your cleaves you are fine
I find tryingto min max my preformance I preformed less then stellar and just vibing I did better
it's kinda w/e really; TR doesn't benefit from SS or hit that hard to boot
Also if you're playing the priority damage build, which is a better mix of ST and AoE, you're not playing Warbreaker anyway
been precasting Roar all expansion, it's nice
so bonkers to not use Warbreaker in m+ now
if you do wanna maximize damage on a pack of mobs though, yes, you can put Roar inside Warbreaker
it's buffing 1 tick extra of dot vs initial hit. initial hit is reduced by armor so it doesn't really matter that much
that kind of decision making is always going to be circumstantial, how big your pulls are, how well CDs are lining up in that moment, etc
In our +15 yesterday bosses were being obliterated in about 90sec so it didn't make a big difference, I think I'll keep the more prio damage build for Tyranical, or if I play with a giga aoe spec
it's the kind of decision you learn to make on the fly once you get comfortable with the content and playstyle, but using the currently recommended "priority damage" build, you can just throw TR out early
I guess Cleave does stupid dmge
but I feel like thats change you take in higher keys were prio actually matters
A “stupid simple” version of the basic prio for st and aoe with there respective openers would probably go a long way for the average person who pops in here seaking advice
comp dependant most likely
i remember mathing this out in s1 sometime. don't remember the exact conclusion but it was dependant on target count for what was optimal, and even then the difference was pretty small
Cause even in a baby 11 we were chewing through fortified like butter
with the "full aoe build" I still had more prio damage than UDK and the SP somehow. I was trying to send my 2xOP in MS prio target rather than just cleave pad like crazy tho
yeah, the initial damage of TR isn't that high since its affected by armor and the DoT isn't
That said, TR is also softcapped now (or supposed to be, I haven't actually confirmed it yet if anyone wants to go do some testing), so it's not nearly as good in giga pulls anymore either
So might a stupid simple MT be: charge, TC (rend), Brostorm, SS/Cleave spam? Leaving out CS/Warbreaker and TR?
I would gladly sacrifice some aoe dmge for more ST
Roar before bladestorm at least
at least no toxic hurrican to work around
im guessing its worth it to re apply rend before skullsplitting?
it doesnt make it expire just tick faster
wouldent it lose value if its about to expire
check your macros
are you sure its snot just your haste
recasting it should hit you with a "you cannot do that right now" message
Delete your account
Maybe that
i just tried casting every warrior ability during bladestorm and i couldn't get it to cancel, unless i pressed a macro that contained /cancelaura, but im interested in following along if you learn more
how's arms looking right now?
peak unga bunga/zug zug
are sims (raidbots) working properly for arms now?
extremely strong on prepatch
yeah sims should be good to my knowledge
i think there was some small optimizations that need to be worked on still(?), but they're up about 150k from last week
1 point in deft experience + 1 point in sharpened blades is better then two point in DE?
is it just arms or other classes too
hunter is pretty busted too
beleive it got hotfixed last night
hunter was nerfed ya
it does seem to sim slightly better 👀
Link sim, please sir
Did we get the nerfbat yet ?
No you have to hit 80 to get nerfed
ret pal was keeping up with me in aoe last night, we were both peaking ~1.5mil but also that info should be tempered with the fact that I haven't played in over a month and was imbibing Canadian Tobacco
hold the second one for roar
roger
Roar now amps ALL of your bleed damage while roar is ticking
yer
more BSL uptime will do that yeah

Say that to mages
I did it, too. Btw^^
He’s asking about arms war, not mages
Hunters are also doing 700-800k and fall off by 80 too
Yea, I was wrecking last night. Cleave eats. 25sec stuns are nice
Guessing the fun ends at max level?
Woot...my 1st 100...was on Terros
yeah, just surprised it's still there after this morning
I was also mad suprised my r3 overall r1 no external on sark held
But it's now eternally in
10k above next no pi log

Decently ye
Sharpened blades over tactitian ?
Ye sb better
makes sense seeing we dont even play battlelord anymore
kindda funky spec but hey i take it 😄
when i use raidbots it say (Pre-patch sims are extremely unstable/unreliable. Several class/specs are not functional. SimC devs are focused on expansion launch, not pre-patch.) and dont load my talents. what is wrong?
doesn't load your talents?
yeah in the overview its not loaded
are you talking about these ones on the "Quick Sim" page?
Or are you seeing the issue on Top Gear
yes sir
so the QuickSim is based on the last time you logged out (WoW's Armory)
try installing the SimulationCraft addon and manually getting your info from in-game with /simc
i gocha, so the SimC output is based on the talents stored in the bottom-left of your Talent screen (doesn't pick up on addon-based talent loadouts). I'd double check talents are loaded there (and valid) and try again, but if that doesn't work im not super sure what next steps would be (we do not maintain SimC here, just offering some advice to try and help)
ive got no issue though
you can DM me your SimC output and I can try and cross-check, but that's about all I can offer
is the bot working again?
not without cheesing buff uptime, PI, etc
ok so about 581 with blue silk 60% isnt horrible
nah that's normal
did you update your simc addon?
the one you use to pull your character information from in-game
i did some light debugging with them in a DM and looks like their talent strings are getting clipped short by a handful of characters for some reason, so the stored talent strings aren't aligning to the talent tree
Highest I got so far is 583k 65% BSL uptime
guess i could go to a 6min fight? but thats just cheating 😄
mine is giving me like 511k
584.7k now if I recraft my neck 😂
oh well
if you're not maxed out in gear that sounds about right, but if you're maxed out and simming low I can always take a gander if you want (just link the sim)
crit haste ?
uhh sec
Nah, from Crit haste to Haste Vers
😔
good question
i just assumed it was something dumb i did and not actually me missing 60k dps or anything
but still interesting
i did weekly lets try nightly
yeah, this test is using the weekly SimC.
Swapping it to latest gives you 571k
yeah it was probably just that
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ssydJpkWawTSc5x77adLmx latest with OCE and neck recraft
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iH1oMiW6ZDZj6ePdPK17Ue Mine. But i also haven't bothered to change into crit at all. + Eh trinket
my nightly is better without recrafting neck
