Whirlwind rage change really messed up my rotation

halcyon valve
#

rage changes got me feeling things

#

its not even that big of a difference but the vibe has changed

wind quiver
#

it's a very big difference in execute

west wasp
#

It feels like im a new to warrior with the update

idk why but i kinda like having a lot of micro CDs

#

Arms is super fun to me rn

#

even more fun than s4

#

and I had a lot of fun in s4

manic stirrup
#

no it wasnt

#

arms was better

silk spade
#

DF arms was an abomination

sharp wyvern
#

well "fatality"

manic stirrup
#

if u disagree u smell bad

sharp wyvern
charred brook
#

fury was better like first few weeks of s2

#

it was like the best spec in the game

#

for like 2 weeks

#

if even

sharp wyvern
#

it was best spec in S1 for 1 week too

#

before everyone had tier

charred brook
#

it was best spec in pre patch for approx 15 minutes

sharp wyvern
#

and the only reason was that every boss had adds

#

shouldnt fury be better at larry ?

manic stirrup
#

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

sharp wyvern
#

btw arms was only better at ST not aoe

#

and ST is all that mattered

charred brook
#

fury was 100% the better spec for the first few weeks

#

in s2

sharp wyvern
#

fury out dpsed arms on neltharion and sark the entire season cause pad

#

but arms had more boss dmg and thats what matters

teal fossil
#

fury was better for first 2 weeks on s2 yeah

lunar vessel
teal fossil
#

except echos was the most insane arms fihgt ever existed

charred brook
#

fury was like the strongest spec period in the game first 2 weeks lol

manic stirrup
#

idk i just straight up disagree

west wasp

sharp wyvern
#

disagreeing with facts is not healthy

charred brook
#

lol okay let me dig up the early s2 sims

sharp wyvern
#

if only we had a website that would save all logs

#

shame we dont have that

slender sonnet
#

Oh if only

#

lmao

manic stirrup
#

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

sharp wyvern
#

and forgetting that most of the time you would do more dmg anyway cause of cleave

west wasp
#

do you hit whirlwind at all?

teal fossil
#

this is overall

#

you can see arms was dogshit

manic stirrup
#

the fights in general were just great for arms

teal fossil
#

until they scaled

sharp wyvern
#

tbf i do agree that fury wasnt better at kazarra if it got 2 beams

teal fossil
#

aka aura buffs

vital mulch

lean plank
#

Blademaster Torment

#

bugged?

manic stirrup
#

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

wind quiver
#

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

charred brook

lean plank
#

Guys? this talent bugged?

teal fossil
manic stirrup
#

yes im aware how fury simmed

charred brook
#

back then

manic stirrup
#

i literally know who made the sims

charred brook
#

used wayback machine

teal fossil
#

cool

manic stirrup
#

who compiled the sims*

teal fossil
#

its just default profiles

#

and you ran all of them

#

and the profiles are presumably made by archi

#

for warrior

charred brook
#

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

manic stirrup
#

the original ones we made i had to put in furys tier

charred brook
#

This was 10.1

#

top 25 warriors

#

half fury, 1 prot guy and almost half arms

waxen quail
#

go prot guy go

silk spade
sage badge
manic stirrup
#

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

charred brook
#

thats my concern with some end bosses now

lean plank
charred brook
#

arms is so good rn but like losing DN kinda blows

#

for like intermissions adds on all 3 last bosses

wind quiver
manic stirrup
#

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

olive nest

Syi owning

manic stirrup
#

turn on dps numbers on details

#

kind of annoying that its not on by default

strong tendon
#

do we need to track collateral damage?

potent cedar
#

lmao just spam cleave to win?

#

I gotta try this

dire hinge
#

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

west wasp
dire hinge
#

yeah that's a m+ key

slender sonnet
#

we hit the milly

#

lets go

west wasp
#

Do you just hit slam for single target?

slender sonnet
#

I dont have slam on my bar

#

just spam ms

#

ms > op > cleave > tc is what i've been doing st

west wasp
#

oh i sea

#

see

#

you swap between cleave to ms all the time

autumn mortar
autumn mortar
west wasp
#

is this a single target and multi target build?

potent cedar
#

assuming that's what they are

potent cedar
shadow ibex
#

earlier on imo at least

wind quiver
#

arcane, dev and other passive cleave could handle most of that

#

didn't wanna overdo it

woven wasp
manic stirrup
#

i hate the idea of fury on nelth

nimble yoke
#

does fury or arms seem stronger in dungeons for prepatch?

#

if we know

hazy flower
#

fury is brutal but legit just play what's most fun for you

#

its not even a season

#

its prepatch

slender sonnet
nimble yoke
#

and i'm gonna play what's most fun for me regardless tbh but both fury and arms are equally fun lmao

olive nest
#

I’ve seen posted* 1m+ overalls on arms

#

No fury data

#

Pretty sure Critcake is streaming fury

mellow seal
#

first impressions the general talent tree seems like a huge improvement

shadow ibex
#

pretty easy to improve on shit

slender sonnet
#

Im gonna try fury tomorrow

#

but it was nice on dummies

wild heart
copper summit
#

easy dmg

slender sonnet
#

That happened to us aswell

#

It was weird

nimble yoke
#

how do you want to make use of sweeping strikes and bladestorm with bonegrinder and collateral damage in a dungeon?

copper summit
#

we were lost

nimble yoke
#

like should you not use SS right after bladestorm so you can stack more collateral damage? or does it not matter?

chrome flint
#

Should ravager be used @player or @mouseover ?

fringe moon
#

was battlelord also supposed to reset cleave? Or was it intended to only reset MS?

hallow turtle
#

Is TC gone and we have to use rend now or is that a TWW thing?

dire hinge

ty

dire hinge
#

[@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)

hallow turtle
#

I find that [@mouseover] can sometimes cast through the ground and cause issues tho

#

or it catches the roof

dire hinge
#

or in pvp it goes on top of the flag pole 🙃

hallow turtle
#

have not pvp since Wrath <---

#

good to know tho

dire hinge
#

I prefer @player, but i think it's better to @cursor and just be concious of mouse placement

midnight mural

mellow seal
#

the unhinged talent looks bad 1 extra MS every other cast?

woven wasp
#

2 ms per ravager

mellow seal
#

oh deal dmg nvm

tulip rose
#

where did WW go from my spellbook?

dire hinge
#

Cleave replaces it

tulip rose
#

OOOH

dire hinge
#

and many of the Whirlwind-empowering talents now impact Cleave as well

slender sonnet
#

Cleave is such a fun button to press now

olive nest
slender sonnet
#

Imo

dire hinge
#

Cleave triggering Fervor of Battle + Collateral Damage is pretty sick

olive nest
#

Just a random nuke after sweep ends

slender sonnet
#

I forgor to press sweep so many times

#

My m+ arms is so badly played lol

nimble yoke
#

should you be pressing cleave during SS?

slender sonnet
#

Yeah I think 3 targets + you cleave on cd right

dire hinge
#

because Cleave now triggers a Slam on your primary target, and that Slam gets swept

slender sonnet
#

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

dire hinge
#

and every time that Slam hits, it contributes to your Colatteral Damage buff 👀

slender sonnet
#

I was about to ask what that is

dire hinge
#

basically the more you Cleave/OP during Sweeping Strikes, you get a MASSIVE cleave at the end of your SS window

slender sonnet
#

Oh damn

#

I need to press ss more

dire hinge
#

SS should basically be used any time there's more than 1 target around you (and you're not about to Bladestorm)

slender sonnet
#

I don’t take bladestorm

#

I swapped to ravages

#

Ravager*

dire hinge
#

hell yeah, then SS away!

autumn mortar
#

It feels wrong and weird to have Ravager over Bladestorm as an Arms Warrior

slender sonnet
#

I find bladestorm so unfun and unintuitive to play personally

autumn mortar
#

what's the case for Ravager > Bladestorm>

slender sonnet
#

Not looking forward to playing it with Slayer

dire hinge
#

it's more priority based damage

autumn mortar
#

But in a mobility fight, BS > Ravager no?

slender sonnet
#

Probably yeah

dire hinge
#

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

autumn mortar
#

Yea that makes sense, so Ravager unless its a mobility fight

dire hinge
#

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

pseudo cipher
#

feel like my rage gen is super low compared to before, am i just bad or what

dire hinge
#

no, that's accurate, arms got its rage generation heavily reduced

pseudo cipher
#

should i just be spamming less

dire hinge
#

spell costs were also reduced to match, but we're more rage starved than before

olive nest
#

RIP
“Sorry, I was spin-ing”

#

@dire hinge

dire hinge
#

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"

cinder verge
#

guys do we hit cleave on ST?

dire hinge
#

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

cinder verge
#

o ok

potent cedar
#

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

dire hinge
#

i'll need a bit more context to help with that one, are you hitting a single target? AoE? Sweeping strikes? Which talents?

grand idol
#

That sounds like fervor

lime frigate
#

Wait

dire hinge
#

agreed, if you were pressing Cleave at all with Fervor of Battle talented you're automatically casting slams secretly

lime frigate
#

Did we lose whirlwind?

dire hinge
narrow coyote
#

more rage starved sucks

dire hinge
#

we also dont have TWW gear yet, not that it full saves it, but we're in a transitional state right now

Just need to know arms of fury..

Iam simming but i think tis bugged on raidbots

@cursor requires way too much forethought for me

old urchin
#

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

fringe moon
#

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.

light vigil
#

Arms feels SO FREAKING GOOD right now.

#

I'm having so much fun

zealous sphinx
#

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

cosmic shale
#

Is ravager bugged?

#

Mine isn't registering any hits lol

wild heart
#

Arms is simming less than fury for me with optimized stats. Is there a new talent build post the changes?

zealous sphinx
#

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

hollow axle
#

Fury is ahead

Just stack mastery

Yo is cleave bugged and doing too much damage?

fringe moon
#

@smoky kayak when simming, I’m not getting anywhere near the 560k mark that you referenced in your tww update

zealous sphinx
#

without whilwind it feels weird

smoky kayak
#

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

frigid lava
#

cleave hits like truck

stark cape
#

Did they nerf cleave?

frigid lava
#

I dunno... it just hits oddly harder

stark cape
#

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

steel furnace
#

You use skullsplitter with TR sure but do you also just use it on CD outside of it

#

Maybe like MS > OP > skull > slam

rare kite
frigid lava
#

is skull a thing now?

#

i just noticed

steel furnace
rare kite
#

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

steel furnace
#

Ah that makes more sense, i see then

im not sure but finishing your burst with 1 mil+ cleaves can cause some aggro problems for tanks deadge

could have sworn i saw a 1.5m mortal strike or cleave lol

my highest cleave in neltharus was 1,4 mil

highest ms was 1,1 mil

that was just in uldaman

highest cleave and ms in nelth was 1.2 each

we gun get nerfed

but every other you can hold it for a few seconds like make sure its in the roar window

Ok so def worth using

magic canopy
#

yar

silk spade
#

do you use it just after roar?

dire hinge
#

while Roar is ticking

thick kelp
#

We love Hrothmar

dire hinge
#

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
dire hinge
#

this is helping my brain in the mean time haha

thick kelp
#

haha

#

Good brain scratch for when you get Arms warrior withdrawals

silk spade
#

makes sense tho

thick kelp
#

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

dire hinge
#

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

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

I had avatar+cs

If you defend parry you got dropped as a kid okayge

The solution is to bring back weapon skill

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 -.-

proud of u

slender sonnet
#

Thanks dad

reef warren
#

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.

stiff pond
#

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

livid cloak
#

So you still wanna send ms I'm pretty sure

#

If I was reading it correctly

reef warren
#

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)?

thick kelp
#

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

reef warren
thick kelp
#

its priority

sacred zodiac
reef warren
#

I think that's for clarity.

thick kelp
sacred zodiac
#

ic

reef warren
#

I understood what OP2 and OP1 meant.

thick kelp
#

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

reef warren
#

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.

thick kelp
#

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

reef warren
#

Got ya. Thanks!

#

What about 2 target? Specifically do we hit cleave over slam in that sitution?

thick kelp
#

from the top of my head no

wind shadow
#

without ss or with?

thick kelp
#

with ss up

reef warren
#

Both

thick kelp

when ss down then yes

wind shadow

slam

reef warren

I assume slam with SS

wind shadow

ss up cleave

#

ERR

#

yeah I had to think about that one lol

thick kelp

Cleave is 100% AP scaling slam is 80% AP scaling

Slam has a bunch of mods doesn't it.

My only real complain is execute phase right now

reef warren
wind shadow

Just feels off to me I miss the days of spamming execute lol

thick kelp
#

Now its more methodical and you ahve to actually think about it

#

CUrrently it plays the same as s4 without wft totem

wind shadow
#

you def get less executes in

reef warren
thick kelp
#

Well yes but there is still alot of moments where you have the chance to ms exe exe exe ms

thick kelp
#

easier to just go MS op op slam prio for pure ST

reef warren
thick kelp
#

Execute would be funner to press if you didnt have to wait 15stacks of Juggernaut before it started dealing damage

wind shadow
#

I am liking our M+ atm

#

WW gone makes me happy

reef warren
#

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.

thick kelp
#

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

wind shadow
#

I love having access to ravager on arms

#

I havent played beta so no idea which hero talent I will like better feel wise

nimble yoke

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

also is bonegrinder good now?

sorry wasnt much active the past few days, how did our rotation change? Ravanger is go to now? and Slam repalces WW in ST?

empty gull
#

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)

nimble yoke
#

god damn it feels like i'm casting slam so much

#

cause i don't have anything else

boreal quartz
#

correct

autumn mortar
#

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

boreal quartz
#

i mean its broken up into cds and rotational spells

#

cds on cd rest per prio

dire hinge
autumn mortar
#

Worse 🙂

dire hinge
autumn mortar
#

Yes, to keep it simple for myself, selected TR, Cleave, Warbreaker and Brostorm

dire hinge
#

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)

autumn mortar
#

Yea clearly i need to look into macros

cinder dove

dire hinge
#

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

expansion is The Zug Within

severe dawn
#

did a 15 AA and arms war did 1m dps overall

#

no aug

smoky kayak
#

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

empty gull
severe dawn
#

with the rise of Rsham i can see the melee meta on the horizon for M+

nimble yoke
#

does he know

smoky kayak
#

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...

nimble yoke
#

what does the opener look like in aoe?

smoky kayak
#

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

so bonkers to not use Warbreaker in m+ now

smoky kayak
#

if you do wanna maximize damage on a pack of mobs though, yes, you can put Roar inside Warbreaker

rare kite
smoky kayak
#

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

empty gull
#

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

smoky kayak
#

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

wind shadow
#

I guess Cleave does stupid dmge

#

but I feel like thats change you take in higher keys were prio actually matters

olive nest
rare kite
wind shadow
#

Cause even in a baby 11 we were chewing through fortified like butter

empty gull
#

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

smoky kayak
autumn mortar
#

So might a stupid simple MT be: charge, TC (rend), Brostorm, SS/Cleave spam? Leaving out CS/Warbreaker and TR?

wind shadow

I would gladly sacrifice some aoe dmge for more ST

Roar before bladestorm at least

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?

sturdy plank

yeah in the overview its not loaded

dire hinge
#

are you talking about these ones on the "Quick Sim" page?

#

Or are you seeing the issue on Top Gear

sturdy plank
#

yes sir

dire hinge
#

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

sturdy plank
#

i do

#

i use the addon

dire hinge
#

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
