Since arms run iftk and fury runs powerful

candid kindle
#

have you reconsidered changing the mapping of your keybindings? delegating some more repeteable spammy binds to a mmo mouse's side pannel? i was starting to suffer from ligament pain since late bfa-shadowlands due to fury playstile and i improoved my confort and health by basically re mapping everything, it takes about 2 weeks for ur brain to re-accomodate to the new binds etc.

I mean you could always take a page out of @daring heron 's book and equip grey weapon

wary raft
#

whats the tech behind cs and not wb in prepatch?

latent moss
#

but nelf is bis either way

#

meld or not

manic stirrup
#

the haste buff u get lasts for the duration of cs

#

longer cs is more haste

latent moss
#

crazy how 3s of haste closed the gap on aoe

#

with wb

#

wb just isnt worth it

#

u lose 10% st for 5% aoe

manic stirrup
#

well prio damage is mnore important anyway

latent moss
#

and in that 5% aoe

#

its like 20% more to shitters

#

and a lot of % less to prio

#

and st prio is king

mellow seal
#

wait do we not use tc anymore single target its onyl 20 rage

manic stirrup
#

rend does more initial damage

#

for the same rage

livid cloak
#

the unhinged mortal strikes during ravager/bs can be swept with SS correct?

latent moss

urban iron
#

It works with meat cleaver for fury so should work with ss

#

Okay, something must be scuffed with Mage Tower. Literally can't get out of prism with a Bladestorm before dieing. Did they jack up scaling or something?

obsidian topaz
#

fury feels so much better in keys rn

#

people said they were similar in keys before the pre-patch but i couldnt make it work

#

now specifically for keys arms still on top?

smoky kayak
#

Fury is burstier, Arms is more sustained and priority damage

hardy olive
#

why dont they make demo aline with warbreaker

boreal quartz
#

It's up to you to allign 2 spells on seperate cdr

#

Im planning on returning to wow for TWW after shadowlands i mostly play arms / fury / blood dk. How is arms and fury atm on beta? Mostly considering fun becasue tuning before s1 is always goofy

thick kelp
#

Fury is fun I hear, arms is piece of shit

#

performance is equal

weak mauve
#

Always loved spamming whirlwind on fury while running around in town or raid so looking forward to that then i guess 😁

FURY BABY

steep delta
#

im not seeing it in the wowhead guide- how many targets for cleave to be used?

thick kelp
#

if sweeping strikes down 3+ if sweeping strikes up 4+

#

or smthclose to that

steep delta
#

cheers, i also have a bit of a dumb question- the wording on this is confusing. when it says triggers 3 times, would dance of death make it last for up to 6 seconds after bladestorm or 15% increased damage?

zealous pivot
#

i think we need more damage modifiers

cloud dawn
#

rotation feels fucked

#

but the numbers dont lie

stiff fractal
#

anyone have a good macro for casting bladestorm or ravager based on talent now that they're a choice node

misty bridge

pog ty

nimble yoke
#

is the prio damage build in m+ worth going over the full aoe build in keys below +10?

clever crag
#

Go fury

quaint otter
wind shadow
#

Prio dmg build is not that less AOE for more ST

#

execute def feels bad

radiant sentinel
#

Why does execute feel bad?

dire hinge
#

Because our rage generation is pretty rough outside of Ravager, it’s easy to run out of rage. There is no longer an “easy” ExeExeOpMs pattern, gotta watch rage the whole time

radiant sentinel
#

Oooooh i see, i thought that was welcomed?
That we had to manage rage better i may be wrong though!

thick kelp
#

We wanted to have less rage but currently we are still swimming in rage outside exe and in execute we are near starved if not for proper play

dire hinge
#

Kinda, we had too much pre-execute in season 4, but it just feels very wonky right now

radiant sentinel
#

Oooooh that way makes sence!

hi, can someon explain me or guide me to article what excaclty means that quest is warband completed? its like no need to do it when i want to complete story on alt or?

Going to try arms today 🙂 anything changed with our rotation? And when would I prio skullsplitter

i swa that yesterday

i didnt wanna ping anyone

silk spade

#

the myth, the legend

nova marsh
#

So question

#

Does a ravager macro from DF fury work on arms today? yes this is a very stupid question

outer holly
#

Haven't seen any mention of changes to macro logic, don't see why it wouldn't

wintry arch
#

can sks be swept?

devout pewter
#

yes

wintry arch
#

ty

solemn fractal
smoky kayak
#

Yeah Ravager should still work fine; the only fancy part is if you wanna combine Ravager & Bladestorm on the same macro

devout pewter
#

shit, we're getting fancy over here now?

wintry arch
#

is my thunderclap already doing hero talent animations? or is that from a diff talent

grand idol
#

Might have the glyph

#

makes it lightning

uncut pasture
#

since arms didn't have tc at the time ig

#

this does change it, just tested*

#

Gotcha thanks!

#

bro is there a reason my warrior randomly does a mini bladestorm

#

or am i going crazy

fathom shoal
#

are you cancelling the BS with a macro?

#

its cancelable now

jovial sun
#

also - you're on retail and not playing slayer on ptr right?

modern quiver
#

anyone remember their highest number of sweeping strikes stacks for collateral damage?

Yeah it’s happening in live though

Blunt instruments over WB in m+ on wowhead?

manic stirrup
#

yeah its good

hard cedar
#

Which CD type abilities (CS/TR/Avatar/Ravager) can my lazy ass macro together?

gaunt owl
#

none

outer holly
#

TR is about the only thing that would work bound to avatar

hard cedar
#

That's what I have right now. I know when play fury I end up binding Reck+Ravager as well

#

What's up with stats now, why is Haste last? I see guide says at very highest levels of gear, is there a certain rating it starts to lose value?

outer holly
#

prepatch has us hitting DRs left right and centre

hard cedar
#

oh i'm in the -20% dr for crit and haste

manic stirrup
#

if you really want to you can bind any one of those to avatar but its not recommended

manic stirrup
hard cedar
clever crag
#

I still have haste as highest stat lol

icy root
#

Super new to class so probs a dumb question, but is there a point to even having rend on my bar when im applying it with thunderclap?

manic stirrup
#

rend does more initial damage in st and 2 target cleave

#

its minor but will be better than always using thunderclap

#

if you want to forgo the keybind thats fine for a minimal loss

alpine steeple
#

For single target arms is it slayer or colossus

late nacelle
#

didnt warrior used to have a glyph which makes BS essentially invisible?

#

i mean you'd just see your character spinning

#

or its just a classic thing

#

mandela effect

late nacelle
#

nah im pretty sure ive seen it LUL

urban citrus
#

is it just me, or does arms AOE feel alot more interesting than it's ST?

compact laurel
#

Returning to arms after 2 seasons, do we use whirlwind in m+ or I can change that keybind for slam please?

opal wind
#

whirlwind is replaced by cleave

#

in prepatch

#

My Excute are no longer highlighted at 35% , any idea to fix it ?

Weird my still flashes

wanton sierra
#

so arms colossuus is nerfed to the ground?

rare kite
#

slayer got massive buffs at the same time so the gap became bigger

gaunt owl

9.5% with my current gear on live

rare kite
gaunt owl
#

MS nerf is a huge one with our current tier set

#

wanna know the fun part

#

Slarms is doing the same number as Colarms was

#

thats so dented of blizzard

Quick flip

#

Choose your channel

#

!

#

6s bladestorm vs 3.5 demolish

gaunt owl
#

all the demolish hater secretly love channeling ability

#

they just cant accept the fact that bladestorm is a channel since its there since forever

thick kelp
#

cant wait to slarm in raid

timid kelp
#

Also hi Ppaww u old rat

gaunt owl
#

thats true

#

even found a bug with Demolish that if you turn your char you can absolutly miss the last swing

#

but the channeling is so much shorter on it

timid kelp
#

I mean imagine fyralath was a 30sec CD that you absolutely need to send on CD every time. Fucking horrible

gaunt owl
#

its not on CD for Demolish so its kinda saved

#

weird condition to make it worth it

#

actions.single_target+=/demolish,if=(buff.avatar.up&debuff.colossus_smash.up)|(debuff.colossus_smash.up&cooldown.avatar.remains>=35)

timid kelp
#

It's just a shit consept man. Melee range channeled cast that U cant move during to follow boss/mobs

gaunt owl
#

its not as bad as Fyralath cast luckily

#

and they pretty much nuked Colarms potential

#

and buffed Slarms to prenerf Colarms lvl

timid kelp
#

Good cause slayer is da way (both specs)

gaunt owl
#

1.75 channel time

#

nah Slayer is fucking mid

#

the real hero tree is Thane

#

cool theme but not on Arms sadly

boreal quartz
#

Thane arm rip

gaunt owl
#

at 30% haste 1.75 channel time

boreal quartz
#

Tharm

gaunt owl
#

see it even sounds better

#

Tharms slapps

timid kelp
#

1.75secs is a long window for The tank to do some demented shit

#

Like move The boss or turn IT for a quick Parry on Ur 3rd hit 🙃

gaunt owl
#

you need to keep them in check and flame them

#

good tank are rare and its an ungrateful job

#

but when done properly its smooth to game

#

5 seconds bladestorm gonna kill me actually

timid kelp
#

Thats not a thing right

#

Ur just being ppaww the monkey doomer

thick kelp
#

Slarms should work with ravager or BS should be same duration as fury

gaunt owl
boreal quartz
timid kelp
#

Maby you need to re-roll. U allready cant play Fury because it's too complicated and now arms is also getting 2 extra buttons. How are you going to manage keks

gaunt owl

people just cant push buttons

Newbie here, what skill you priorize before in the rotation: Mortal Strike or Overpower

boreal quartz
#

gaunt owl
thick kelp
#

Execute

boreal quartz
#

Feedback is needed to make playable iterations of this class

#

Calling someone too bad for another spec especially when they do a LOT of work for their spec and have actively shaped it's playstyle in the past is absolutely braindead

timid kelp
#

Rofl, oh my god ppaww you have some fanbois. I was just shooting shit with ppaww who I raided with before. Also he's a big boi who can defend him self from my stabs if he wants to ❤️

gaunt owl
#

i need friends to carry my coffin

thick kelp
#

People just passionate about arms

gaunt owl
#

sometimes we need to give context that we know each other

#

before we take jab 😄

boreal quartz
#

Wanting a spec to rot because of banter is cringe

rancid knot
#

yall i have two 515 trinkets. how come i cant upgrade my other trinkets to 515 without crests? it's weird though because it allowed me to upgrade with out crests from 493 to 499, but all of a sudden at 502, it costs my crests now. wtf.

latent moss
#

ye need to equip both

latent moss
rancid knot
#

yea i tried after equipping both as well

thick kelp
#

Best hero spec in the game then

gaunt owl
#

its probably never happening

#

or Fury player will cry about not having it too

latent moss
#

never happening

gaunt owl
#

its both or neither scenario

latent moss
#

i mean

#

idc about fury

#

give it to fury too

#

as a st option

#

and bs as an aoe option

thick kelp
#

But why would fury complain

#

their bladestorm

latent moss
#

idk

thick kelp
#

is like 1 global long

latent moss
#

ye

thick kelp
#

ours is 5min

timid kelp
#

I'm confused. Why would slayer affecting ravager (weird that it isn't cause it's literally a choice nod for BS vs Ravager) make Fury Madge? They have the same choice node

gaunt owl
#

Slayer is specifically forced to use Bladestorm

#

but if they give the option to use Ravager for Arms and dont give it to Fury its gonna be a riot

#

thats blizzard design choice

boreal quartz
#

The thing is tbh how would a non player cast ravager behave

#

Just at player at target etc

timid kelp
#

They can make the proc be bladestorm but have the cdr also affect ravager

boreal quartz
#

Interesting

#

I dont hate that

timid kelp
#

U don't proc unhinged with the proc channel anyway? It's too short to get of a unhinged hit right? That's intentes

boreal quartz
#

It's based on ticks innit

#

Only get 1 not the 2nd one for the ms

latent moss
#

the proc isnt even a bladestorm

#

just looks like one

timid kelp
#

Yeah just keep that

#

But the cdr needs to affect ravager too

boreal quartz
#

Or use the of Animation for arms

#

Since that does look cool

timid kelp
#

I actually didn't know it doesn't. That's fucking stupid

#

"you have a choice between BS and ravager. But as slayer u don't actually"

boreal quartz
#

It's never bs for st imo

#

Hero talent just forces the worse option

gaunt owl
timid kelp
#

Let me fix that talent for you: each strike of bladestorm OR ravager applies...

#

Devving is easy

gaunt owl
#

we all wanted this

gaunt owl
timid kelp
#

Did you suggest it on the official "pls blizzard fix my class" forums?

gaunt owl
#

all the changes we got

#

are basically changes that got asked 2 years ago in DF beta

timid kelp
#

This honestly just looks like the slayer hero talent guy forgot ravager exists

#

Like a whoopsir

gaunt owl
#

they probably gave back Ravager after Slayer was designed

#

thats how it happend

#

and now its too late because reason

timid kelp
#

Yeah that

#

It's not too late. So I assume it has been at least tried to be brought to their attention

#

Cause that affects both specs slayer involves

#

That's a big whoopsie

gaunt owl
#

if we do have the possiblity of Ravager for Slayer

#

its 100% gonna be the go to pick each scenario

urban citrus
#

im sick of slam

#

its just not a fun ability to press

#

the animation is bland, its has low rage cost so you need to keep spamming it

#

the damage is kinda meh too

blazing grove
#

So Colossus or Slayer?

latent moss
#

slayer

gaunt owl
#

Playing thor in this game

#

When I play fury I macro TR/Spear to Reck as well. It's not optimal, but it sure is comfy.

silk spade
#

if you have a separate CS bind it's fine innit

brisk vortex
graceful axle
#

there be situations where you'll want to CS but not use avatar

#

or delay avatar

wary raft
#

Also CS has a delay which will cause you to lose a tiny bit of time in avatar to just waiting on animation/GCD

olive nest
#

You could put cs on the avatar bind

#

But not Ava on the cs bind

wary raft
#

When pressing CS/WB there’s a slight delay as to when the ability dam+ debuff happens

#

So super min max but optimal is technically press CS bind then as ur character jumps up to either stomp(WB) or slam wep down(CS) u press avatar

#

And if ur spamming buttons (all warriors do) with a macro like that u waste a bit of avatar time depending on haste obv

latent moss
#

im pretty sure this got debunked with wb back in sl

wary raft
#

Perhaps my information is outdated? I quit towards the end of S2 SL so it’s possible I missed the discussion entirely

#

I can look into it when I get home

latent moss
#

i forgot tbh

#

I just ava and then cs

#

cba thinking about it for 2 more dps

wary raft
#

For me it’s just natural to press it in the order I described so it’s gonna be annoying to swap that lmfao

quartz cedar
#

good morning skyhold!

#

can someone explain to me why the suggested rotation is to do thunderous roar + ravager before avatar? wouldnt those two abilities benefit from the +20% damage from avatar?

silk spade
quartz cedar
#

would the dots benefit from avatar once its cast?

silk spade
#

yes and yes

wary raft
#

The only class that still snapshots like that is feral iirc

#

So most classes you play dots will gain whatever bonus is applied or removed dynamically

quartz cedar
#

ok good to know. Thanks dudes.

tacit crystal
#

I'm trying to optimize the arms rotation with the new talents and was wondering where to use ravager. Are there any reasons to use ravager before or after cds? Thanks in advance

thick kelp
#

opener looks like charge legendary rend troar rava ava cs ms sks op

tacit crystal
#

It just looks weird because I'm looking at this warriors logs and he always does the sequence shown in the picture

thick kelp
#

whos this warrior

tacit crystal
silk spade
#

That opener looks pretty troll

#

I think rend and rav after leggo and before cds is better

tacit crystal
#

I mean it looks troll but hes getting rank 1s so its just weird 🤷‍♂️

silk spade
#

The opener is not super impactful (unless you do something really really wrong)

#

If you play your prio well and fuck up your opene by accident/do it suboptimally you can still perform

#

I do like that he does charge -> ms, not sure why most people seem to charge -> rend

olive nest
#

Charge Ms bigger brained

silk spade
#

Getting tier before leggo is okayge

latent moss
gaunt owl
#

his opener is kinda shit

#

but he gets a PI and use Ashes of the Embersoul

#

he had 100% crit flask uptime

#

lots of rng and high rolling can do that anyway

#

look at my silly opener last week

#

i didnt play any prepatch before the raid

#

its not even good

#

and i fat fingered Sweeping strikes

#

i wanted to delete my char

#

it was last week with no PI

#

never look at top logs

#

it doesnt mean shit

silk spade
#

Look at multiple logs yeah

zinc python
#

I’m noticing even worse issues in execute since the pre patch changes, was it really necessary to make tactician be a super rare proc when the tier set is based off it?

#

Feel like I’m constantly rage starved once execute starts

#

Feels like it should either do much more damage for its rage cost, or be tuned back to be in line with the adjusted rage costs of most abilities

frigid lava
#

Is arms like top tier dps at the moment?

zinc python
#

It’s solid but the play style is a bit clunky right now

frigid lava
#

I'm close to 3100... haven't got outdps'd yet.

outer holly
#

Have you ran with a good frost dk?

#

They go hard

frigid lava
#

nah i haven't played with dk dps yet

zinc python
#

I’ve had problems in AoE but that’s probably just my fault I am horrible at arms aoe

frigid lava
#

arms aoe = op and cleave

zinc python
#

But ST as long as your not super unlucky is real nice

gaunt owl
#

we have had a problem of drowning in rage

#

blizzard cant fix it in a nice way

#

but you dont really rage starve in Execute time either as long as you dont fuck up your rotation and have Skyfury buff

outer holly
#

Last frost dk I ran with ended a 13 nelth with 1.2mil overall, really impressive for ilvl 517

silk spade
#

Make execute 20 rage ExcitedBlushette

zinc python
#

While rage isn’t a problem most of the time, when you get unlucky with crits and wind fury repeatedly it’s pretty noticeable in execute phase

gaunt owl
#

we notice the bad times more than the good one

zinc python
#

And with tactician no longer 100% proccing on 40 rage executes you can be left in a scenario where you just wait on rage gen

#

My team had no enhance in s4 so it was very often that I had to fall back on 2 execute overpower MS loop for execute phase

storm prism
#

I've been running the pure aoe build and I must say. OP not resetting MS feels unbelievably bad. But the numbers on mass pulls are batshit insane.

trail osprey
stiff glen
#

I cant seem to find Whirlwind in the arms spellbook, but i cant seem to find it. Am i just blind?

stiff glen
#

ah gocha

#

so do i just rage dump with slam?

latent moss
#

u dont need to rage dump anymore

#

just do ur rotation

stiff glen
#

ah okay. Even during ravager?

#

idk ive only done one dungeon after not playing for months

hazy flower
#

During ravager you dont press ms

#

Just spam exe/op

gaunt owl
hazy flower
#

Ye my b

gaunt owl
#

we need to give context or its gonna be awful to uncurse the dmg

smoky kayak
#

Yeah >35% just spam Exe and OP 😆

#

one SD proc, two charges of OP, and wait

gaunt owl
#

that is something we are missing too many times

#

its giving context

stiff glen
#

dang i diddent know you could spam exicute like that lol

gaunt owl
#

yes kinda

#

you have to do it in a way that you dont ragestarve yourself either during Ravager and Execute time

manic stirrup
#

i dont run battlelord regardless lf talents

storm prism
# manic stirrup what build

Not at home currently to link it but it's on Wowhead. Drops Battlelord and ravager to run bladestorm and two of the bladestorm capstones. Mainly the one that buffs cleave.

#

I was critting for over 1mil with cleave and I'm only 507 ilvl on the warrior.

#

It's dogwater in ST tho.

manic stirrup
#

still take the aoe nodes under ravager

storm prism
#

Then it isn't the build for you. You have to run bladestorm to have it buff your cleaves. It's crucial to making them do giga damage.

quaint otter
#

ravager buffs ur cleave too

storm prism
#

I was gapping a 520 Shaman in AoE with that build though it's crazy fun but probably not very viable on high tyran keys.

quaint otter
#

bonegrinder is just shit chatting

storm prism
#

Matter of opinion then I suppose

#

But when the tank is pulling like a crackhead it is amazingly fun to pop coolies, spin to win, and then nuke them with cleave.

wary raft
sacred zodiac
#

do you have a log or smth

#

iirc theres no delay

wary raft
#

Would the log even show time of Input vs time of damage event?

uncut pasture
#

you might be able to compare the time it was cast and when it dealt damage but it's going to be fractions of a second you're dealing with, i'm not sure what kind of precision logs have, even then the only way it'd really be something you optimise is if you have >100% haste or something

#

since below that it wouldn't change how many globals you get out of avatar

lethal acorn
#

Cleave resets feel nice at least

manic stirrup
#

wdym

#

it works on ravager as well

manic stirrup
manic stirrup
#

once it hits the debuff is applied

wary raft
#

Yeah that’s what I’m talking about

#

Slight delay between input and application of damage and debuff

#

I’m not crazy, right?

storm prism
manic stirrup
#

yeah i was just saying your cleaves still get buffed with bonegrinder using ravager its not a bladestorm exclusive talent

uncut pasture
wary raft
#

theyll show the damage event and the debuff happening at the same time bc those happen at the same time

manic stirrup
#

cs needs to strike the enemy for debuff

#

which is why if cs is parried u get no debuff

#

the “delay” is the same as any other ability in the game

reef glade
#

I like how if a spell like bb gets parried it doesn’t put bb on cd (I think) and also especially doesn’t consume s3 2set stack on it which is super nice

#

but cs is parried? Lmao fuck you idiot -50k dps gl on the next one in 30 seconds

#

I just vaguely recall having to spam bb 3 times in a row on fyrakk 2 days ago I’m pretty sure so that’s my assumption of it not being put on cd when parried

wary raft
#

my assumption is damage event

#

I just grabbed r1 gnarlroot off of logs from the raid section so I am unsure if possibly this could be latency issue? Guy posted a log earlier with this not being the case so seems inconsistent

manic stirrup
#

idk

wary raft
#

my guess is its a latency thing

outer holly
#

gotta wait for the smash to smash

wary raft
#

because I play at a elevated latency and I feel it, but not super high latency

#

normally 70-110ms

smoky kayak

#

parry good mechanic in 2024 👍

smoky kayak
#

it's a stupid mechanic, but we've been bitching and moaning about it for years now, and it's been brought up in several interviews as high as the game director himself

graceful axle
#

ye ive seen them as well sadgers

smoky kayak
#

we may not like it, but ultimately it's their game, they're gonna make it how they want - at least they're making some effort to reduce the impact though

storm prism
#

does Arms currently use Skullsplitter in raid?

#

nvm I just missed it in the guide

Is there a spreadsheet for berserk rage application?

Did something happen on Raidbots or to arms that I missed? The 518k was from July 25th, the 492k is from tonight, I haven't changed anything other than adding two sockets to gear on the 492k.

Leggo axe on both builds

#

Important to note though, that the MS nerf is currently on beta but not on live. Sims are focused on tww not pre-patch

slow saddle
#

did nerfs change anything to our talent build ?

boreal quartz
#

no

smoky kayak
#

If you look on the right, you'll notice the two have different simc build dates, and while that encompasses all the changes that have been made (not just regarding Warrior), you can click the git hash to see a list of commits - it's likely something in there, though I couldn't really say what without taking a deep look myself

elfin phoenix
#

im a bit flabbergasted, am i reading wowhead right that warbreaker is not the default pick in aoe situations such as m+ ?

lethal acorn
#

Also for M+/AoE builds I think it's worth taking either one point in critical thinking or getting finishing blows, so that you aren't rage-starved for exe phase on bosses

slate rain
#

is arms squishy relatively for a melee? in tww

#

thinkin about maining one for PVE

lethal acorn
#

Arms is better against burst damage, especially aoe, since they have the seasoned soldier passive which gives them built-in avoidance

#

Arms is squishier to DoTs than the other two warrior specs though

hazy flower
#

Than fury*

#

U cant compare tank to dps

vague sedge
#

Wait did they remove whirlwind from arms?

#

The tooltips of talents still say whirlwind

arctic iris
# slate rain is arms squishy relatively for a melee? in tww

For a melee? No, it's one of the tankiest specs in the game in most situations when played properly.

It does take a slight nerf in TWW since we have less rage so we can't use Ignore Pain as freely, but you still have Impending Victory, Spell Reflection, and Defensive Stance, which are all insanely good.

It's squishier than Fury in some situations, but both specs are near the top of melee tankiness so that's not saying much

arctic iris
#

If you spec into it

hazy flower
#

I wouldnt call arms squishy, you have a couple of defensives incl 10% perma avoidance + can be 15% dr at all times (d stance). Iv is also useful against burst damage where you take multiple big hits + ip is extra shield for oneshots, just a bit nerfed for tww + stacking is sometimes impossible

arctic iris
hazy flower
#

Kinda shit that its also been affected by the nerf

arctic iris
#

I'm not sure that Blizzard realizes it was there to make up for the fact that Arms doesn't get the stamina from a second 2h like Fury

hazy flower
#

Should be 10%

#

But oh well

arctic iris
#

Yeah, Arms survivability is so absolutely buckwild that there's plenty of room to nerf us and still have us be very hard to kill

#

If our utility wasn't total shit, I think Arms and Fury would have seen huge amounts of play in M+ in DF

hazy flower
#

Its not about utility tho

#

If you give arms big dam it’ll be played regardless of utility

arctic iris
#

We had the damage and we had the survivability, we just lost out to classes that had all three

hazy flower
#

Just like ret wasnt played much till it had big dam in s3

#

Even tho it has probably the best utility out of all dps specs

slate rain
#

is Arms in general good in tww m+ ?

arctic iris
#

Ret was missing damage, warrior was missing utility, so neither saw much play

arctic iris
hazy flower
#

Well or just big dam even if 0 utility is enough

#

If survi is shit and util is shit but u do absurd damage

#

U’ll be played

#

Because people will play around you

slate rain
arctic iris
slate rain
#

oh

hazy flower
#

(Havoc in s3 and ppal babysitting havoc)

arctic iris
#

Like, less than a week ago they did massive tuning changes that I believe changed the damage of some specs by like 30%

#

Nothing is even close to finalized

#

Havoc has decent utility

It's not like it's the best utility in the game, but Darkness, Netherwalk, Imprison, and two AoE stops (three if you count Meta)

hazy flower
#

Havoc is squishy

#

Asf

#

It only has blur realistically

#

3min cd is way too big to play around it

#

You have some decent passive dr + demon muzzle + shield from blade dance but it cant solo survive high keys

#

You also can and somewhat had to play around meta immune which makes it not the easiest to survive

arctic iris
#

I'd argue Havoc isn't squishy, it just isn't super tanky

#

It feels squishy relative to, like, mage

#

But it's pretty average, maybe even very slightly above average depending on incoming damage patterns

hazy flower
#

Shockwave = chaos nova, meta stun quite often just fucks you up because it dr’s mobs early on + I guess the sigil of misery is ok

#

I mean sure havoc is tanky vs rot damage but squishy vs oneshots

arctic iris
#

And you were competing with specs that had AoE stops that were a lot more free, and on a DR that wasn't so heavily saturated

hazy flower
#

Its annoying but its still speccable

#

Its still there

arctic iris
#

Arms utility basically boiled down to Rally (was never that strong and then got nerfed), Shockwave (cost you a bunch of damage), and... that's basically it? I guess you could take Intim Shout, but that was also costly and had a pretty long CD. Once in a while you could spell reflect something big but in most dungeons there was little to nothing

And, starting from S2, not having a way to deal with Incorp put more pressure on the rest of your group.

hazy flower
#

Intim shout wasnt costly though

thick kelp
#

goated row ngl

hazy flower
#

It was vastly underused by warriors even though its still a (capped) aoe stop

#

That always stopped your primary target

#
  • due to the nature of the stop its never dr’d
arctic iris
#

I guess I was kind of conflating Intim Shout with taking Menace(?) which made it work on Incorp

I guess taking it alone was more reasonable since it cost 1 point instead of 2

hazy flower
#

U didnt need menace for incorp

arctic iris
#

It still felt worse to take than the AoE stops of most other classes, which either cost less or had shorter cds

hazy flower
#

U just couldnt mindlessly solo it without menace

arctic iris
#

We're warriors, we're all mindless

boreal quartz
#

also walhe is now level 25 raids coming later today gladge

arctic iris
#

I think Walhe meant the row above that

boreal quartz
#

i mean every other talent is usable

#

even the TC slow

arctic iris
#

Spell reflect is already one of the best defensives in the game, adding basically anything else decent on the same row and it gets nutty

manic stirrup
latent hull
manic stirrup
#

it isnt completely unliveable its just worse than a ton of other stuff

#

utility is soooo fake

#

the only time utility isnt fake is when the timer isnt real which is why you bring aug for every key

#

if the timer is real utility is fake because you need damage

boreal quartz
#

Maybe just s2 elite

boreal quartz

Brickshitter goes crazy whah can I say

Also crafted boots > pvp boots i think

#

The Red fire not the purple one

thick kelp

holy antorus lfr goes hard

boreal quartz
#

It is so much better than only mythic

boreal quartz
#

Also the dark tcg wep also does dece with this, tmy used it every now n then

arctic iris
# manic stirrup its one of the squishiest specs

I don't know that I'd agree with that, at least in the context of S2. There were plenty of specs that were much squishier, it's just that they didn't see play because in the right comp, you don't need amazing survivability, just average, and those specs did not reach that bar.

Off the top of my head, specs that were squishier in S2: enh, ele, boomkin, and to a lesser extent Shadow. Maybe feral and surv as well but I know almost nothing about either one so I'm happy to be corrected on those two

(Shadow obviously saw play in spite of that because of MD, fort, and PI)

Im at honor 61 grinding to 80

Cuz i only do arenas till elite into afk

thick kelp

boreal quartz

Cuz it was so turbo horrible

Pre rework

Then picked it up again mid s2 gladge

manic stirrup

its definitely one of the squishiest

boreal quartz

Not hateful

manic stirrup

also i agree you dont need every class to be tanky

thick kelp
manic stirrup

boreal quartz

like surv in s3/4 of shadowlands

Does anyone else think arms feels worse in the prepatch?

boreal quartz
#

It does

storm prism
#

It does still have issues with rage though. I feel like I always either have too much or not enough. But that's always been an issue.

lethal acorn
#

you have to adjust your talents or get more crit% for any rage issues

lethal acorn
lethal acorn
storm prism
#

The only time util doesn't matter is if you're doing baby keys

lethal acorn
#

Arms has hidden utility for offtanking, if the tank dies or is about to die you can Die by the Sword and tank auto attacks for 8 seconds

#

No other dps gets a 100% parry chance

storm prism
#

That's why fire was meta even though the DPS was meh. Cheat death + the ability to handle EVERYTHING made them perfect for M+.

storm prism
lethal acorn
#

Great general who can win any fight with just mastery of two handers, can make their opponents bleed out from just one precise strike

storm prism
#

I agree but rule of cool stops being relevant in 15s.

lethal acorn
#

I play an undead arms warrior so I'm not a fan of pallies

#

I outdamaged Ret Paladins last two expansions as well but I've been playing Arms since WoD so maybe I outskilled 'em

storm prism
#

Ain't no way you beat a ret in AoE. Single target maybe, but Wings + Final Wreck + Divine Storm is crazy in AoE. Would have to be a shitter paladin to lose to an arms warrior. But those are common so I guess it's believable.

lethal acorn
#

Downplaying my skill tbh

#

In shadowlands season 1, I was rank 1 on my server for my spec in m+

#

My new name is Drossarms but it's the same character

boreal quartz
#

@xerkbeaz 👃

#

@median jolt ping failure

lethal acorn
#

Arms is just hard to play compared to the other warrior specs, so it has a higher skill floor and ceiling than people think

boreal quartz
#

lol

storm prism
#

Good but not as good as Ret

lethal acorn
#

It's at least an above average difficulty spec to min/max and parse well on

boreal quartz
#

No

#

To parse you play a 123 rotation and just crit

storm prism
#

Yeah calling arms difficult is wild

lethal acorn
#

Nah, you have to hit the right button at the right time and think ahead, like Archimitros said

lethal acorn
boreal quartz
#

What other specs did you play and are you comparing with

lethal acorn
#

I'm comparing it to just the other warrior specs

#

It's not as hard as Rogue or Arcane mage

frigid lava
#

Hmmm... some traditional range players struggle with melee specs in general.

lethal acorn
#

Above average diffiulty isn't as hard as you think I'm implying Arms is

boreal quartz
#

(arcane famously very easy)

storm prism
lethal acorn
#

But Arms is hard when compared to Fury or Prot

lethal acorn
frigid lava
#

I felt fury was harder than arms in s3

lethal acorn
#

Unless Arms has a big haste build for the current season then it's both for Arms

boreal quartz
#

Neither are hard

#

Like at all

frigid lava
#

I felt rage starved... and didnt like having to worry about ww stack and what not.

#

it was hella annoying

#

that's why i started playing arms

lethal acorn
boreal quartz
#

No

#

Both are free

lethal acorn
#

It isn't builder/spender

boreal quartz
#

It is

lethal acorn
#

It's choose wisely

lethal acorn
boreal quartz
#

You never had any problems affording spenders all of df

lethal acorn
#

When playing optimally at least

boreal quartz
lethal acorn
#

You can play Arms wrong and find it easy

boreal quartz
#

Arcane is a 4 fwiw

lethal acorn
#

Sure

dire hinge
#

i'd agree that it's easier to hurt your dps as arms compared to fury.
That's not to say either of the are necessarily difficult

lethal acorn
#

That's what I mean

boreal quartz
#

The difficulty in wow is always in the content you do not the classes you play

lethal acorn
#

Like the downtime on Arms is punishing, if you make a mistake you feel it 15 seconds later

#

Fury is just build rage and spend rage

#

Prot is not hard outside of tank-specific challenges

boreal quartz
#

@gaunt owl i dont even know anymore man

lethal acorn
#

Arms is the big brain of warrior specs, that was my only argument

boreal quartz
#

Masterful bait

storm prism
#

Prot is hardest spec on warrior tbh

lethal acorn
#

Arms hardest of the 3 rotations

storm prism
#

Yeah this is bait

lethal acorn
#

???

median jolt
dire hinge
#

difficulty can be contextual per-person.
If arms is hard for someone, then its hard for them. You don't need to put them down over it, or dismiss their opinion on it.

lethal acorn
#

Arms isn't hard for me, I'm saying that it's harder out of the three warrior specs

#

I've been playing it since WoD

lethal acorn
manic stirrup
#

it doesnt matter which is the hardest if its 3 if the easiest specs

#

theyre all piss easy who cares

lethal acorn
#

Lower half maybe but warrior isn't the easiest class as a whole when you have Pallies and Hunters in the game

dire hinge
#

To each their own, i see folks struggle with BM.

manic stirrup
#

id argue warrior as a class is easier thab paladin as a class

#

ret is on the same level of fury

lethal acorn
lethal acorn
