Maxroll is a lil out of date

loud wadi
#

Maybe to not lose any uptime of the merciless bonegrinder?

manic river
#

Yeah now SS is if BS is not going to be used right?

minor gust
#

if your playing CS and not warbreaker in M+ like you should you will still SS before bladestorm to sweep the CS

manic stirrup
#

idk if this is better but i like to avatar early enough so the free ss from it ends during bonegrinder

#

to have a couple stacks on collateral on a cleave with mbg

#

and then use the next ss

#

hard to make that work in heroic dungeons

tardy hare
#

Double sweeping strikes seems odd you probably lose to much boss damage

carmine ginkgo
#

Anyone else doing some ST target dummy testing? Looking for some feedback/comparisons

tacit quail
#

is there no way to have a macro cast heroic throw while wrecking throw is on CD?

#

was trying

/castsequence reset=45 Wrecking Throw, Heroic Throw, Heroic Throw, Heroic Throw etc

#

but it kinda sucks

manic stirrup
#

not sure but i wouldnt recommend doing that since wrecking throw has use outside of being cast from range

tacit quail
#

what do you mean? this doesnt hurt the usage of wrecking throw

manic stirrup
#

do you have a separate heroic throw button

tacit quail
#

currently I do but it feels super redundant

#

thats why I want the macro

#

i think you meant heroic throw has more uses?

#

which i can see, but currently I dont know any situations where i absolutely NEED to have both seperated

lean geode
#

One hypothetical example would be Rasz P1.5 intermission into P2 shield phase; if you used wrecking throw while moving to a new add pack in P1.5 and it was on cooldown for the P2 shield phase, you'd be kinda sad

#

Granted you could just not press the button there because you'd gain an almost imperceptible amount of dam from the heroic throw anyways, but that's why

manic stirrup
#

rare situation but idk i just have them separate

#

especially if you ever want shattering throw

tacit quail
#

yeah both rare and minor

#

definitely optimal to have them seperate for sure

#

but im runnin out of keys

lean geode
#

I mean, using heroic throw in raid in general is pretty uncommon, no?

manic stirrup
tacit quail
#

yeah, even if its not its like bowwl said - imperceptible

manic stirrup
#

unless apl isnt optimized for double ss, its not even more aoe at all

#

looking at colossus btw

lean geode
manic stirrup
#

if i cared/wasnt stupid id cook what i think would be optimal

#

but

#

i aint doin allat

lean geode
#

Who are you raiding with this tier btw Choco

#

You were Imperative gamer before right?

manic stirrup
#

yes

#

concept

lean geode
#

New guild?

#

As in is the guild new?

manic stirrup
#

yes

#

mostly a reform

#

rigg isnt playing though

lean geode
#

Word, gl homie

manic stirrup
#

ty ty

#

need to beat @violet steeple and @snow flame

#

so ill take all the luck i can get

lean geode
#

Who does Bazed raid with?

manic stirrup
#

idk i forgot

#

we are all 4 day guilds

#

lincs is 5 days week 1 of mythic tho so they r cheating

gusty oxide

Seems accurate

gotta cc those jailer adds

how is that not a meme made for mage

#revertMSnerf

boreal quartz
#

#unfuckArms

fresh spire
#

Slayer arms still super strong, crazy how a average hero tree buff while shooting MS AND OP completely shot colossus while making slayer rise up

cedar peak
#

Should i use cleave when 1 target only aswell?

boreal quartz
#

No

slow saddle
untold pewter
#

But ofc, you don't talent into cleave for like a st raid fight

abstract robin
#

During your rotation phase if you have sweeping strikes up and bladestorm comes off of cool down do you send bladestorm or wait until sweeping strikes ends?

smoky kayak
#

unless there's a good reason to wait, just send it

untold pewter
#

Btw just a quick question, in my dummy testings I was getting better results holding up to 10sec for a colossus smash to line up with ava+troar+trinket+bladestorm instead of just sending those as they came back

Is this legit? Sims seem to just send stuff on cd but when I did that I did a little bit less DPS

smoky kayak
#

situationally, yeah - if you're only holding a few seconds, it's worth gettting a big burst cycle

#

that kinda thing is always easier to ascertain in a real life scenario over a sim though, especially if you're just talking about 5 targets of permanent patchwerk vs an actual M+ of pack to pack pulls

#

5T patch really means very little, it's just a whole lot easier to optimize than shifting gorup patterns

untold pewter
#

Oh it was actually for single target but yeah

#

Same reply pretty much

#

Thanks

#

Just gotta think about stuff like kill timer, add spawns, boss going away and what not

#

Btw Archi maybe you can answer this one, just trying to make sure I understand the prio right:
Do we actually need to think about marked for execution being at 3 stacks?
Like trying to not use the sudden death proc early hoping to get it to 3 stacks?

#

And if the question isn't clear, say I proc sudden death but I'm at 2 stacks of marked for execution, do I "hold" to try to get that 3rd stack before or is the risk of wasting another sudden proc before that happens a bad gamble?

#

(Outside of execute phase, ofc)

thick hamlet
#

when is it worth holding demolish for the 50% overpower damage

smoky kayak
# untold pewter Same reply pretty much

yeah pretty much the same thing, if the delay is small enough (usually <1/3 the CD, though that's a bit iffy to figure on the fly due to AM CDR), it can be worth waiting for major CDs

slow saddle
#

are we pretty certain on these embellishments ?

smoky kayak
#

until blizz changes them again

slow saddle
#

ahh yeah, im kindda afraid of crafting the darkmoon ones

#

feelsl ike something they would nerf, where as the pure stats ones

#

has been a mainstay

unique bridge
#

Nerubian embellishment... or throw grenades randomly with the engi embellishment, I know my choice

slow saddle
#

last Q its haste - crit for slayer arms

#

what throw grenades? isnt it just Free versa ?

unique bridge
#

nah there's an engi embellishment called pocket full of grenades

smoky kayak
#

its like pocket sand, except it explodes

unique bridge
#

simming like 3k dps behind nerubian for me but I like it for the "flair"

unique bridge
slow saddle
#

Isnt it duskweave thingy

#

its free what versa?

smoky kayak
unique bridge
#

Legitimately though when the embellishment list was being done did people test the engi stuff or is it too much of a sink just for testing? @smoky kayak

slow saddle
#

what i thought more was if its only 3k behind, how can it not be infront of versa ?

#

^_^

smoky kayak
#

he said it was 3k behind nerubian, and I have no idea what he simmed

slow saddle
#

ah fury in arms chat

unique bridge
#

same for arms sorry

#

literally just started testing fury haha

#

but you catch the drift anyway

#

for my personal raidbot sim it's very close behind the second nerubian

slow saddle
#

ok :). well theres always scaling i guess ^_^

slow saddle
#

would be interesting

unique bridge
#

Likely scaling you might be correct will push nerubian further away

slow saddle
#

what if u sim with versa

#

instead of acandence

#

seeing it should be slightly better 🙂 and having acendance without the nerubian does seem like a bad idea

unique bridge
#

A bit out of my pay grade, unless someone here can like swap the ascendance in the log for the versa enchant and sim it

slow saddle
#

mine as well which is why i asked if u could ^_^

unique bridge
#

I only know how to sim exactly what's on my character haha

slow saddle
#

though u could just equip a non crafted weapon from fury

#

and add the versa one no ?

unique bridge
#

yeah not something currently I will waste the gold on

slow saddle
#

ye i havent used a single

#

for embellishments

thick hamlet
smoky kayak
unique bridge
#

uh yeah ones crafted better

#

might make a slight difference

smoky kayak
#

they're both crafted

unique bridge
#

but still close regardless

smoky kayak
#

it's the same item, you just changed the ilvl and stats of the belt - don't wanna do that when you're trying to compare things lol

unique bridge
#

no

#

it's literally two belts I have

#

hahaha

#

I have two crafted belts seperate items

#

with each embellishment

smoky kayak
#

ok well either way, it's a bad comparison

#

cause you're changing multiple variables instead of just one

#

realistically, the embel is even further behind, because you swapped to a higher ilevel / better itemized belt when you ran it and it still lost

unique bridge
#

Yeah of course, hence why I was asking if someone had done actual like sim tests with them cause this as as close I can get

thick kelp
#

Yep

smoky kayak
#

you can do your own tests, just create the same item in top gear or gear compare with a different embellishment

unique bridge
#

never done that let me have a look

thick kelp
#

Would be silly to recommend worse items

smoky kayak
#

Top Gear has a little search bar towards the top, then you can click on the items and assign them diff embels/recraft/whatever

#

Gear compare is pretty obvious search bars and dropdown menus

cedar peak
#

Overpower with two charges available
why is this important?

#

is it for the double stack for mortal?

smoky kayak
smoky kayak
thick kelp
smoky kayak
#

well everyone has simmed them now, but he was referring to the implementation part

cedar peak
#

Arch, so everytime overpower is up use it?

thick kelp
#

ah ic

smoky kayak
#

he was asking if we actually tested it, cause it was (purportedly) simming not far behind

unique bridge
#

wow okay nevermind

#

I think I did that right

#

4 i level make that much of a difference to the embelish/dps? like a 20k increase

#

well a little more behind that I thought then

smoky kayak
#

Yeah that looks more correct

unique bridge
#

My point though, is that I liked the flair of the engi one and thought it wasn't actually that far behind 😛

#

But I am wrong if it's a 20k difference at same ilvl, just didn't think that small of a jump would be that much of a diff

smoky kayak
#

but they don't seem to do that much in general

unique bridge
#

Weird actually it is close

#

why is it now closer?

#

lmao

#

my brain

smoky kayak
#

ikd but something changed cause now you're 589 ilvl and a minute ago you were 588

#

also you should not run weekly version of SimC, you should always use latest unless something breaks

unique bridge
#

yep swapped over my shoulders because I realise I had better ones which are these apparently

#

from the previous 2 sims

smoky kayak
#

well that would change your results

unique bridge
#

omg you're right I didn't change them in top gear too

smoky kayak
#

you also changed some talents

unique bridge
#

cough give me a second

thick kelp
#

Silluy item

unique bridge
#

new to this so apologies

#

Talents shouldn't have been changed unless top gear didn't update them

smoky kayak
#

look for yourself

#

one has storm bolt, the other doesn't - it's minor, but that's an influencing factor

unique bridge
#

instead of second wind

#

yeah I see it

#

I mean that... shouldn't theoretically make a difference but give me a sec with the shoulder changes anyway

smoky kayak
#

it does make a difference

slow saddle
#

when will stats beat stuff like larynx ?

smoky kayak
#

when your ilvl gets higher

thick kelp
#

When sim says so

slow saddle
thick kelp
#

also looking at hte tooltip of this engi embellishmen, it has a chance to miss the target?

#

"Between all enemies caught in the blast

smoky kayak
#

just flavor, its an aoe

thick kelp
#

ic

unique bridge
#

Top Gear seems to keep changing the talents itself

smoky kayak
#

its your input man

#

use the simc addon

unique bridge
#

yeah I am

#

Think i've fixed it give me a tick

unique bridge
#

Unless there is something else i've missed again

#

it does look like it is very close behind at same ilvl

unique bridge
#

about the same diff @thick kelp on the sim you made vs the latest one, not far behind nerubian ~2-3k

thick kelp
#

Recommend using %

#

over numbers

#

2-3k is way different when we sim 100k vs 800k

unique bridge
#

0.4% on that

#

according to your sim

thick kelp
#

Yes

#

Guessing the gap will only increase as flat damage effects lose value when we gain ILVL and stats

unique bridge
#

yeah I imagine stat curves will probably favour nerubian

#

This whole thing came from me thinking the grenades were a neat option hahaha

#

but... SCIENCE

#

Makes gear planning easier now I know how to use this stuff in future too so I appeciate the patience 😛

slow saddle
#

i mean just take the versa one instead of acsendance

#

if u wanna do both m+ and raids id say

damn i still didnt get it... sorry

shadow ibex
#

Sec

#

stuff like this because its best to fish for x2 stacks of our 4pc. dummy has x2 MP stacks and x2 EP with the second cast but still best to continue casting exe until you get x2 OP resets to get x2 stacks of the 4pc

#

obviously RNG but here it took 2 more executes to get that second stack of 4pc

#

the blue sword icon next to flexing man is our 4pc

sacred zodiac
#

sharpen blades in my pve grr!!!!

shadow ibex
#

i wasnt sure if pp were familiar with sharpened tooltip

#

even the cast before the first exe wasnt MS cuz still has x2 MP stacks. sitting on MS that long not my thing

edgy raft
#

When will raidbots be updated with earthen?

halcyon breach
#

It is updated

sacred zodiac
#

already is

edgy raft
#

With food buff too?

halcyon breach
#

The food buff should be as well, however if it isn't, it being implemented doesn't appreciably change its performance relatively speaking to the rest of the races

edgy raft
#

Where can you see the dps compared to the other races?

halcyon breach
#

Through advanced sims (can probably find some shared in here if you search for it), or individually checking whatever races you want in quick sims

#

Long and short though, is that Earthen is middle of the pack, but the difference between the highest and the lowest, is roughly 2%

edgy raft
#

Yea guessed they weren’t in the top just wanted to know what gem to eat😅

halcyon breach
#

Can't see an option for that, looking on raidbots, so don't know how to change which one you should use, nor do I know how the gem eating actually works

edgy raft
#

You buy a gem like haste+crit and you eat it to get 562 haste buff

#

Just don’t wanna use 10-15k to see which buff is best😂

halcyon breach
#

Without thinking too much about it, you can't really go wrong with either haste or crit until it becomes a function

edgy raft
#

Yea think I’ll just keep running crit

neat loom
#

for dungeons u prefer colossus or slayer boys?

latent moss
#

slayer

#

if demolish wasnt cancer to use

neat loom
#

do u sim for aoe dungeon slice or patchwerk 5 targets+?

latent moss
#

st

latent moss
#

oh u are slightly elevated?

arctic hearth
#

Ive only tried colossus and enjoy demolish a lot more than fury even with its glaring faults like needing target. Need to test slayer tbh

latent moss
#

demolish just misses

#

oh mob moves

#

u miss the entire pack

#

like its so unpredictable

#

way too unreliable for me

#

idc about not being able to move its not even the worst part

arctic hearth
#

It can def be a pain, especially with all random ppl in the grp. When my friend tanks its a lot smoother

latent moss
#

either way

#

awful deisng

#

design

arctic hearth
#

Some dungeons its just super shit tho tbh. Yeah, cant believe this survived testing like this

latent moss
#

i mean

#

we told them

#

it was shit

#

and they did nothing

arctic hearth
#

Exactly

latent moss
#

it was tested

arctic hearth
#

Some pretty easy fixes would make it so much better. And they changed so much for so many but no

latent moss
#

execute phase feels awful as colossus in m+

arctic hearth
#

At the very least remove target. Could also let ppl move tbh. Try doing high m+

#

Soo punishing

#

How does slayer feel?

#

Gonna test it when i get on

latent moss
#

a lot better

#

cause u play jugg with critical thinking

#

so u actually have rage

#

in execute

balmy kindle
#

why is authority of storm simming higher than radiant power peepostudy >?

thick kelp
#

flat damage > stats since we have no stats

serene hollow
#

being given stats would be more impactful now than later since it would be a bigger increase proportionally now. 1/100 > 1 /101. The damage proc values are just tuned higher than the stats

i see... well i guess its storms for raid week since its a heck ton cheaper

Guys, what's your plan for the Sparks, especially the first two?

  • Wait for the 2nd spark and go to the weapon?
  • Or make Wrist and cape?
boreal quartz
#

2h after first or so boss of mythic

#

Whatever boss drops the 2h that's realistically dying before u craft

nova marsh

Tbh I'd wait anyways

So you can avoid having to recraft and just full send on a mythic crest

i just sub once, use the outdated version until it breaks completely and then i resub

vast cedar
#

so we're taking skullsplitter?

nova marsh
#

For ST purposes yes

#

It has great synergy with the new thunderous words

vast cedar
#

How do i better understand when to align cds? Do i hold BS for Avatar?

nova marsh
#

No

vast cedar
#

when does it make sense to hold cds

nova marsh
#

As a warrior you don't hold

manic stirrup
#

yes you should use skullsplitter always

nova marsh
#

Really never

manic stirrup
nova marsh
#

Unless there's a damage amp phase or adds coming up, arms has zero incentive to hold

manic stirrup
#

you can hold some cds for like 5 seconds if avatar is coming up very soon

#

but outside of that holding is almost always worse

nova marsh
#

Well

vast cedar
#

that simplifies things some

nova marsh
#

With one expection

#

If the fight is short enough, say like 2 minutes and you will only get 2 avatars, you save the second one for exe

vast cedar
#

that makes sense, but im trying to spin up for raid bosses, thats never really gonna be a thing

nova marsh
#

As in with bladestorm slayer?

vast cedar
#

ive not been using skullsplitter, do you use it on cd?

nova marsh
#

Yes, but sks is a rare case where if you have Troar coming up in say 10 seconds its worth holding

vast cedar
#

that makes sense

nova marsh
#

Also remeber to reapply rend at least once because it'll fall off pretty fast with SKS. After that it'll stay up for the rest of sks

manic stirrup
#

if you always use it on cd

woven wasp
#

chatting if you use sks on cd you never have to hold roar

manic stirrup
#

never have to cold

#

itll line with cs and roar

vast cedar
#

thanks guys, youve been very helpful

#

things that keep us awake at night huh lol

nova marsh
#

Tbh half the time I forgot sks exists until Troar is off cd

#

so that's a skill issue

vast cedar
#

according to Arch's opener, you get an overpower execute in before you SKS

#

or BS

Can someone tell me if it's worth holding crests for s1 or should I spend them on hc gear upgrades if I can't find a crafter

dire hinge
# full jewel Can someone tell me if it's worth holding crests for s1 or should I spend them o...

depends on the type of crest and the content you're doing.
Weathered crests are exceedingly unimportant and can be used without much worry (crafted, or otherwise), even today.

Carved, Runed, and Gilded crests start to matter comparatively more, and that's where you should consult with your team (if applicable) or find a gearing guide on how to spend those. Runed crests will likely be a bottleneck for folks.

hey guys, which build we play in m+?

nova marsh
#

Slayer

#

It's more consistant. But ya still got like a week before we get keys

umbral gyro
#

and how good is arms atm? what do you think how good it will be in m+?

leaden oracle
#

slayer sims higher if you run MBG currently but you lose alot of ST, going colossus can give a decent chunk of ST at the exchange of a little AoE dmg

nova marsh
#

Huh?

#

Isn't Colo behind in ST?

#

By a lot?

teal fossil
#

Ye

leaden oracle
#

aoe build with colossus sims slightly higher than slayer w/o MBG

#

but pure ST yes

umbral gyro
leaden oracle
#

arms is fine fury pulls ahead slightly but heroic tuning is still a thing, theyre fairly close

umbral gyro
#

in raid also ?

#

and whats about survivalbility in high keys as arms?

minor gust
#

Arms is a very tanky spec just less than fury

umbral gyro
#

thx

latent moss
#

the real difference

#

is boss design

#

fury can take odyns for like 1% st loss

#

and burst everything down

#

arms cant take anything

#

so u are just kinda stuck hitting the boss

#

and honestly if i was RL

#

id ask my warrior to go fury

#

for such fights

plucky fern
#

well its not exactly like this at the moment

#

arms slayer still has bladestorm in st

#

and you can take cleave instead of 2/2 bloodborne i guess

#

for not so much damage loss

minor gust
#

and then Fury just kills everything before you even finish your bladestorm

plucky fern
#

well if adds die in 3 seconds they are probably not even worth bothering changing spec

So im interested on how the wep embellishment will be looking since it's also pretty good

livid vector
#

Wep embellish is good but the new BSL will go harder for raiding

#

Only issue with the new BSL is that it drops from raid so it’ll be pretty spicy pricy for a while

small raven
#

I'm really enjoying Arms. I intended to raid as Frost DK this season but the playstyle around Pillar of Frost and the variables within that are just not fun for me to play around.

#

Also testing AoE on 5 target dummies, Frost has a higher peak but Arms had higher consistent dmg. In fact, Arms was more overall which led me to believe I was making mistakes as Frost.

minor gust
#

im sorry for your loss welcome to arms heres your compilmentary doom gif

small raven
#

I still want to find out what I'm doing wrong with Frost but I'm really leaning towards Arms at this point.

PoF and CS are pretty similar tbh. PoF has a lot more talents affecting it tho

hi all, i have a question

because of fervor, where is cleave priority wise on 2 targets? im just playing the slayer aoe build off wowhead

i don't, i am simple player, i see button i click button

#

waffl question, on ST do we use WW for CD reset of overpower or slam ?

nova marsh
#

slam

uncut pasture
#

slam

#

unbind WW

#

not worth in any situation

alpine glade
#

that's what I was doing I just wanted to be sure

nova marsh
#

Slam also does....kind of damage now

#

like not a lot but at least it does more then auto attacks now!

alpine glade
nova marsh
#

unfortauntely \

#

Sos died

unique hamlet
#

am i blind but i dont even see WW in my spellbook

#

as arms

nova marsh
#

You probally have a key build

#

Which cleave replaces it

uncut pasture
unique hamlet
#

ahhhh

alpine glade
#

Do we have stat distribution data rn or not ?

hazy flower
#

ilv into sim

devout pewter
#

I think stats are pretty much the same as in DF, but sim

open mason
uncut pasture
uncut pasture
#

they gutted it for some reason

#

not even worth to press in AoE

manic stirrup
#

no storm of swords

devout pewter
hazy flower
#

you have other buttons in aoe

#

either way

#

cleave/ms/op/tc

devout pewter
#

my bar is just WW tho

#

I'm a storm

alpine glade
gilded stump
#

Finally got my egg sac today

devout pewter
#

So you finally switched and created a warrior?

gilded stump
#

What do you mean switched I been playing warrior since bc

#

Bc means Burning Crusade btw 😉

untold trench
#

Hmm

#

Sure...

#

Unless?

gilded stump
#

😉

#

We should go someplace that's more empty
Like the warrior section of the patch notes

#

how are you guys tracking marked for execution from slayer? Are you playing around it at all or treating it as passive?

uncut pasture
#

it's not something you play around besides trying not to overcap on stacks, which you don't have to play around either with Imminent Demise's extra SD procs

unique hamlet
#

Anyone have a WA for overpower stacks?

#

i used to have one long time before but deleted it and now cant find it anymore lol

wary mauve
#

What is the highest item level we can craft now? 593?

rain fiber
#

Is it worth it to marcro Collosus Smash/Warbreaker + Thunderous Roar together? I think since both are 45 CD's it might be worth it on most scenarios

shadow ibex
#

No

uncut pasture
#

i have mine macro'd into Avatar since they'll both align even with Uproar talented but even that's not optimal to do

rain fiber
#

you are right, trying it out it doesnt make sense

#

it lines up with bladestorm most of the time tough, so I will use BS as a reminder

#

I might be playing wrong, but, is it normal that I get too much rage now? I feel like I'm using slam every other GCD to not cap on rage, but I still keep getting too much

uncut pasture
#

before Execute phase that happens quite a bit, especially as Slayer

rain fiber
#

ah, so it's normal? well, at execute phase you will get starved so it makes sense

#

elder nacelle
queen rivet
#

hi warrior newb here could anyone explain to me wy collosus seems from what i can find to be far weaker then slayer ?

minor gust
#

does less ST

nova marsh
#

It just...is far weaker tbh

#

Collousus only pulls forward in large aoe, but ST is a LARGE gamble

fossil fable
#

my thing with slayer rn is that its lack a theme for me. Demolish has its problems but the idea is cool and it's satisfying. Slayer is just extra dmg

queen rivet
nova marsh
#

I mean aside from demolish being a jank as fuck, like loosing it due to mobs moving away, being rooted in general, and it being a coinflip, yeah it's mostly just tuned worse

nova marsh
#

also because of how our trees are set up collusus can't take the MS resets it actually wants to take because it's a dps loss

#

Slayer is just really consistant

queen rivet
#

bit of a bummer since collosus looked pretty neat

nova marsh
#

It does

#

Felt nice to level as, but honestly it's not really an option for "serious" content

#

Sure I can put a million and a half cavats of "get good" infront of that, but slayer is more consistant damage wise and dosen't put you in any danger if you mistime it

queen rivet
#

fair

#

i assume the same carries over to pvp then

nova marsh
#

Not nessisarily

#

I've heard it's great in pvp

#

Because you can just stun your opponent and fucking nuke them

#

You're more or less CC immune in demo so it's an option I 've heard

unique hamlet
#

any chance on switching between Blunt Instruments and Warbreaker on lets say Fort/tyran weeks?

minor gust
#

Fort Tyran weeks dont exist anymore

unique hamlet
#

oh shit, thats right

nova marsh
#

So umm

#

How does score work? Did blizz ever actually tell us?

minor gust
#

tbh no clue shouldnt really matter tho do higher key then the last get more score

smoky kayak
#

I believe Blizz said it was all rolled together now, just one score for each dungeon

thick hamlet
#

has unhinged stopped working at some point with sweeping strikes?

minor gust
#

has stopped working for almost 3 weeks now yeah

thick hamlet
#

so right on early release? is there a reason for that specifically?

#

or just a straight up nerf

smoky kayak
#

just a straight up nerf

#

reason is probably not wanting it to be too universally powerful of a talent (like Hurricane was)

#

although it kind of still is anyway

thick hamlet
#

love that for us

teal fossil
#

yeah

#

agreege

#

way too oppressive

boreal quartz
#

Cleave is not nearly enough of how we aoe pls remove all the rest

minor gust
#

Yeah if we could just get more power into cleave that would be great

grand idol
#

make unhinged cast cleave instead of mortal strike when sweeping is active.

serene hollow
#

We cant have that for arms

weak wave
astral yarrow
#

pretty sure its only for high keys that "kinda" happens. As in they are both active

fossil mantle
#

I just wish they would rework or buff fatality. Imagine having a capstone that is literally never played, what a waste. Well actually we do have a few capstones that are rarely played now that I think about it and that is even after the small tree rework.

thick kelp
#

Dance of Death

fossil mantle
#

Blademaster's Torment and Warlord's torment as well

#

Spear for the most part

thick kelp
#

Blademaster is playead in 2T

#

and Warlords is viable as colossus in ST

fossil mantle
#

yea I saw that on the guides but it doesnt make any sense truth beith told, 4 sec of recklesness every min and a half? Yea no thanks, the point is better spent elsewhere

thick kelp
#

Yeah it doesnt make any sense

#

Untill you realize it cranks demolish to be better cuz of the crit

#

which colossus is all about

fossil mantle
#

thats true but if you take that, you lose uproar and that is most probably a much larger dps gain esp given that we use AB and Skullsplitter in ST

thick kelp
#

Robot says otherwise

#

sly venture
#

Wowhead now has a Jugg Slayer build, since when? Only copy though. I wonder if it's as fun as Season 3 m+ Jugg

fossil mantle
#

Well lets see, the wowhead guide seems very low effort this time around in my opinion, especially if you compared it to other class guides.

fossil mantle
#

I mean jesus, blademaster's torment recommeneded in M+ instead of uproar? Come on now

thick kelp
fossil mantle
#

Fair enough, do you recall how big the dps diff was?

thick kelp
thick kelp
fossil mantle
#

also uproar helps in ST in dungs, Blademaster's torment does not

thick kelp
#

I mean if you cared about DPS you wouldnt touch Colossus anw

teal fossil
#

Different builds have different tradeoffs

thick kelp
#

The Colossus MBG + Blademaster trades massive amount of ST for more sustained AOE

fossil mantle
manic stirrup
#

it was always played in st last expansion

thick kelp
#

Yeah thats why its the 2nd recommendation and slayer primary recommendaiton

teal fossil
#

Fatality needs to work with crit mastery

#

That’s it

thick kelp
#

Pls no fatality to crit

fossil mantle
thick kelp
#

I dont want to gamble

teal fossil
#

It’ll be chaos bolt crit

manic stirrup
#

dont work with crit, scale with crit as damage

#

yeah

teal fossil
#

Optimally

fossil mantle
#

Just make fatality get buffed by dmg modifiers, not only STR and it would be fine I think

manic stirrup
#

no bc rhen you need cds at 30%

#

thats cringe

teal fossil
thick kelp
fossil mantle
teal fossil
#

And df had arms ended at positive aura

thick kelp
#

They could do to fatality

#

is to add it to our Aura

#

so it isnt ass when we have many aura buffs and are in the positive

manic stirrup
#

i dont agree with holding cds

#

i think its bad gameplay

thick kelp
#

You already gamed Fatality with ToM for all of DF, I wouldnt want to go back to that

fossil mantle
#

I think for arms there is nothing wrong with that, our main cds are super short as it is

teal fossil
#

Therefore holding is more of a loss

#

The shorter the cd the worse holding it is

fossil mantle
#

Hmm, that makes sense, didnt really think about it.

#

Well may be as it is, fatality is boring as hell and needs to be buffed or reworked. Unfortunately we are not pala's so we can expect some changes by the end of season 4

teal fossil
#

It’s there to fill the “execute shooting up the meter” fantasy

#

If fatality was just some random proc damage with MS it would be much easier to balance

#

But it’ll be so boring

fossil mantle
#

No, I get it, thematically I think its quite cool but it just doesnt deliver. Even the deathstalker talent that is like a mini fatality is better

flat willow
#

oh I heard about the first paladin expansion rework

#

but what about the second paladin expansion rework

teal fossil
#

Stuff that fulfills fantasy doesn’t need to be great

fossil mantle
#

well if they aint, then they dont fulfill any fantasy

#

thats kind of like Arms in BFA in season 4. Deep wound is the majority of your damage and even with stacked ToM hits paled in comparsion to how much DW ticked,

teal fossil
#

I expect fatality to never be taken in tww

#

Both hero specs want bladestorm/rav

#

And we obv want jug and ep

#

So there will never be room for fatality

ripe wedge
#

Hello, why are there so much build with Slayer instead of Colossus for AOE/Multi ? I thought Colossus was the best. Thanks

thick kelp
fossil mantle
#

I am still salty about SoS, WW was finally nice to press and they made it a dead talent once again

teal fossil
#

Well storm of swords makes sense in context of cleave

#

And sos at its old state isn’t really playable with the current rage state

thick kelp
#

ww doesnt belong to arms anw

#

happy its gone

plucky fern
#

it honestly should just take juggs place and jugg removed completely dandy

plucky fern
#

you cant spend it

#

even if you spam ip

fossil rampart
flat willow
#

blizzard is busy making their 50th spriest/paladin rework

#

give them some time

fossil rampart
#

granted there's more ptr patchnotes to come but the fact that warrior got 3 total changes as a whole and one of em was a goddamn icon update meanwhile the other classes get paragraphs worth of changes says a lot on what they think about arms

plucky fern
#

poor mages also need attention dont forget

#

another 300liner of text coming next patch in the mage section

#

cant wait

plucky fern
#

well shamans got their rework after all this wait maybe one day our time will also come

fossil rampart
#

surely

plucky fern
#

a bit silly that warrior, the first spec in the game and one of the most played classes, get the least attention by far

#

for like 10 expansions in a row same story

fossil rampart
#

i just got a strange feeling blizzard thinks arms is fine where it is at rn

#

numbers wise we're doing good but overall spec itself does need some love

strange perch
#

@latent moss arms is back

latent moss

@latent moss arms is back

plucky fern
fresh spire
#

Tbf

#

Both arms and fury capstones stink

#

Give nice new shiny things already

#

Make bl great again

fossil rampart
plucky fern
#

capstones also stink for prot

latent moss
plucky fern
#

they pick like one?

latent moss
#

define prot capstones

#

to me indomitable booming voice violent outburst are all capstones

woven wasp
plucky fern
#

isnt capstone the last talent

latent moss
#

u dont play bsv cause u dont need it

#

u dont play battering ram cause its purely dps and they buffed enduring alacrity or w/e its called

#

the one above rav

#

and rava ones suck

plucky fern
#

we get overloaded with good capstones in class tree but get a pile of shit in the spec tree

#

when for other classes its the opposite

#

(and should be)

fossil rampart
#

just hope we get something soon. it'd be nice. mythic+ week release is what i'm looking forward to

#

they basically confirmed in an interview that some changes are to come before m+

latent moss
#

demolish buffed by 15%

#

its all of ur damage now

plucky fern
#

living bomb buffed by 150% is the changes we'll get

sharp tendon
#

We are not paladins they get a rework twice in a year

plucky fern
#

paladins were unplayable for 2 weeks

#

and they already got like a thousand lines of changes in 11.0.5 patch

sharp tendon
#

No one of the dev team plays warrior

plucky fern
#

i bet theres a guy who is in charge for playtesting warrior

#

and it is some classic andy

#

who logs in presses mortal strike twice

#

says 'good'

#

and thats his day

slow saddle
#

i mean ITS NOT hard make demo work like the paladin one whats it called

#

the wave thingy

#

3 swings aoe, not affected by shit they can move

#

why the F do we get the First price version

sharp tendon
#

Well what would you change for arms i think the basic is good. Cleave op ms all good spells to press i think they just need to bring old skull splitter back and give warrior bloodlust or some good def group cd

woven wasp
#

think tactically

flat willow
#

demolish should not only work like the paladin hammer thing

#

but they should completely copy it the way ret paladin just copied arms

slow saddle
#

Yeah

flat willow
#

make demolish a follow up ability to colossus smash

slow saddle
#

i mean pressing that as RET is fucking nice

flat willow
#

so it always syncs

#

and instead of the cdr hero talent, make it give you 1 free demolish after enough stacks

gaunt owl
#

You cant have fluid and smart gameplay

#

Only suffering for Colossus

slow saddle
#

collosus is 100% suffering

#

its so clunky its unbelieveable

#

slayer is fine though.

#

i just liked the idea of DEMO button so much

#

but when playing its its frustrating

plucky fern
#

colossus will become great one day trust copium

#

12.0 colossus we ball

slow saddle
#

i mean ill ofc play col if its buffed to be better

gaunt owl
#

Fun part is warrior never copy on the other class

slow saddle
#

but it is frustrating to play for sure

gaunt owl
#

If they didnt nerf MS and OP it would be so far ahead of Slayer

slow saddle
#

yup ofc

flat willow
#

they can improve slayer by simply allowing ravager to be used with it, for more flavor make it so instead of a silly weapon throw, you have a mirror image of yourself doing a bladestorm

#

and in fact juts rename slayer blademaster

slow saddle
#

i mean it would make arms slayer feel better ye

gaunt owl
flat willow
#

you can use my ideas for free, blizzard

slow saddle
#

but slayer is sadly based solely on bladestorm

gaunt owl
#

Slayer name sounds edgy

gaunt owl
slow saddle
#

yeah which is like
BUT here comes juggernaut fucking up the executes we couldda had !

plucky fern
#

actully would really love having access to both bladestorm and ravager

#

just move rav to spec tree and remove spear

slow saddle
plucky fern
#

every spec has it already anyway

plucky fern
sharp tendon
#

Bloat

slow saddle
#

BUTTON BLYAT

#

new term

gaunt owl
#

Blyat button

plucky fern
slow saddle
#

well if its in class tree and it wont take spot of roar

#

... 😄

plucky fern
#

maybe roar better place yes

#

choice node or smth

#

honestly it wouldnt even be bad if that would be instead of spear and we'd have extra button
fury lives with like 10 cooldowns its still fine

woven wasp
#

bloodbathbloodbathbloodbathbloodbathbloodbathbloodbath

latent moss
#

we need more rotational buttons

#

ms/op/slam aint it

fossil rampart
#

dw fellow arms enthusiasts, surely one day we'll get the love we deserve

#

for sure

slow saddle
#

no we dont ?

#

rotational buttons are fine atm ?

nimble yoke
#

what if slam and MS didnt suck ass

slow saddle
#

op - ms - slam - SD - SKS

#

its not horrid

plucky fern
#

yeah number of buttons is already enough but the rotation itself is meh

slow saddle
#

nah its not even rotation, its just weakass MS

latent moss
#

i said it like 10201412 times

slow saddle
#

and tactician being halfed in value while also halfing our rage spending

latent moss
#

remove martial prowess

#

mp is the reason bl is dogshit

plucky fern
#

need redistribute power better between existing buttons, unbuffed MS should be stronger and buffs should give less, slam should have like SOME interactions at least

latent moss
#

the reason eb is dogshit

#

slam is a fine as a last resort filler

#

but its pressed way too often

nimble yoke
#

but the last resort happens too mcuh

#

yea

plucky fern
#

we dont need last resort filler

latent moss
#

cause we dont play bl or eb

plucky fern
#

we need a good pre execute filler

#

that we use often

flat willow
#

I don't know I just find arms single target boring as shit

#

it's not even a button count or something

slow saddle
#

ye slam ONLY feels bad coz of the tactician nerfs with the halfing og range spending

slow saddle
#

like its the sole reason

latent moss
#

they watered down

flat willow
#

cuz ret isn't that boring

latent moss
#

arms

#

so hard

flat willow
#

they did

#

but even if arms was dumb as fuck it could still be fun

slow saddle
#

if u dont enjoy multipliers

flat willow
#

but it's not

slow saddle
#

its booring

#

but seeing 200k ms

#

then 2m ms

#

is just meh

latent moss
#

i mean

#

for one

#

colossus completely missed the mark

#

it was supposed to be the MS/OP spam hero talent

#

and it just isnt

slow saddle
#

ofc coz they nerfed both spells a lot

nimble yoke
#

but isnt that because MS sucks ass

slow saddle
#

BASELINE nerfs

latent moss
#

they nerfed ms and op

#

for whatever reason

#

and precise strikes (colossus talent)

slow saddle
#

100% coz we were good in prepatch

latent moss
#

we were good cause of tier

#

that tier was demonic

#

it was like 15% on st

nimble yoke
#

just another episode of warrior being good before expansion and dogshit during expansion is it not

latent moss
#

cause for some reason theybuffed it

#

going from s3 to s4

nimble yoke
#

or at least...not as good lmao

latent moss
#

when it was already busted ins 1

#

in s1*

flat willow
#

it's not a number problem

#

even if arms was number 1

#

it would still be boring as shit

nimble yoke
#

it would feel like ass

#

ye

latent moss
#

numbers shift your rotation though

nimble yoke
#

its more about individual numbers and not the overall dps

latent moss
#

they change prio

flat willow
#

true enough

latent moss
#

but martial prowess is the devil imo

#

executioners precision is mandatory

#

otherwise we would just spam exe

slow saddle
#

EP is good imho

#

martial prowess could be halfed

latent moss
#

nah just remove it

slow saddle
#

nah

latent moss
#

u are not pressing slam over op

#

never

slow saddle
#

its ok to have a side buff

nimble yoke
#

yeah i dont think MP needs a reason to press it other than its free lol

#

and is better than slam

latent moss
#

removing mp and buffing ms baseline

#

would 100% force colossus

#

into BL / EB

#

and just MS spam

nimble yoke
#

that was the intention right?

latent moss
#

yes

flat willow
#

martial prowess felt great in legion, when it was 1 stack and called shattered defenses

latent moss
#

true...

slow saddle
#

ye problem again is 2 x stacks

latent moss
#

how would that work with eb tho

#

it would work with bl but not eb

slow saddle
#

but martial prowess sucks same reason juggernaut sucks

#

coz u tune around it

latent moss
#

imo remove jugg remove fatality remove martial prowess

#

imagine how much more fun slayer would be

slow saddle
#

i mean problem with juggernaut is

latent moss
#

if execute wasnt tuned aroudn juggg

flat willow
#

i'm all for removing jugg and fatality

slow saddle
#

We need to LOVE SD procs

latent moss
#

u need jugg stacked for exe to deal real damage

slow saddle
#

if sd procs feel good, game is better

plucky fern
#

what if they moved mp to slam and made overpower just a rage generator?

slow saddle
#

fuck that

latent moss
slow saddle
#

slam is just fine as a filler as is now

#

just buff tactician

#

to where it was

#

then we would only need to push slam when absolutely needed

#

and most of the time we would rend instead

plucky fern
#

isnt that exactly what happens now

slow saddle
#

nah

#

now u have to slam 3 times in a row

#

coz tactician is so horrid

#

basicly we slam until MS is of cd again

#

happens way to often

#

slam needs to fill that 1 open gcd we should have

#

if bad luck mby 2 once in a while

#

but 3 x slam my god

plucky fern
#

idk for me reverting tactition nerf wouldnt change much
i rly like that suggestion that mp should only have 1 stack but be stronger, so we have to press OP once in ability cycle and press other abilities, the problem is theres no such abilities atm

#

reworking/buffing slam would fill that gap

slow saddle
#

well u say that

#

but if u buff tactician

#

executes suddenly start to reset proper as well

#

ms starts to give more resets

#

all this means less slams = rotation will be as intended

#

but if u buff slam, we might have to slam in execute phase

plucky fern
#

it will solve current issues yes, but in a good way? nah

#

3 button rotation

slow saddle
#

thats fine

#

ms - op - rend - sks - sd - slam

#

so not 3

plucky fern
#

press ms on cd, press execute if able, press op if first two conditions are false

#

boring

slow saddle
#

having the thought that 3 buttons as a core rotation is bad

#

u prob are playing the wrong game

#

we have loads of other smaller cds u fit in all the time

#

if u play any harder content, haing 4-5 rotation buttons with 3 short cds u have to align into that

#

would be quite rough

#

adding in having to press defensives like IP as well

#

stacking it

plucky fern
#

4 is sweet spot, and the key to good rotation is good flow of procs so you dont have press those 4 buttons in same order all the time

slow saddle
#

so if u want a deeper core rotation. they would need to remove some of the shorter cds

plucky fern
#

frost dk good example

slow saddle
#

lol

#

thats horrible playstyle

#

thats range playstyle from like tbc

#

1-2-3-4 repeat

plucky fern
#

you seem to not understand my idea

slow saddle
#

id much more prefer a procs styled rotation as now, issue is just they slowed down the procs

plucky fern
#

im against 1-2-3-4 repeat

#

there shouldnt be repeatable sequence all the time

slow saddle
#

but arms doesnt have that atm

#

its a legit prio system

#

adding 1 more button is just bloat

plucky fern
#

it will have if they buff tactitian

nimble yoke
plucky fern
#

oh

nimble yoke
#

assuming you are against 1-2-3-4 repeat lol

plucky fern
#

fixed

slow saddle
#

ye ^_^

plucky fern
#

xd

nimble yoke
#

lolol

slow saddle
#

makes more sense.

plucky fern
#

sry bout that

slow saddle
#

but like tactician buff fixxes what u said

#

so why u against that

plucky fern
#

if they buff to old values

#

then we will have infinite procs

#

for op

slow saddle
#

no ?

#

they HALFED our rage

#

spending

plucky fern
#

and rotation will be exe exe op ms

#

repeat

slow saddle
#

in execute yes

#

but thats how it should be

#

also add in SKS if below 80 rage only

#

if roar is up

#

we have enough rotation complexity in the most hectic parts of fights

#

Raiding mythic bosses, as a mere mortal i dont need them to make that part more complicated when we are allready moving from bad 24 / 7

plucky fern
#

btw everyone hating sks but for me its like a saving grace for arms rotation

slow saddle
#

so adding more rotational complexity in gen would also mean blizzard prob would have to slow down encounters a bit for players to have a chance exept top 100

#

SKS is good

#

ppl ONLY hate it

plucky fern
#

every 20 seconds it breaks this endless ms op slam cycle

slow saddle
#

coz of misalignment

#

and the fact that it used to be balls to the wallls dmg

#

now its just ticcitac

#

mainly sks is horrid on collosus btw

fossil rampart
#

i can appreciate sks honestly. it makes it so rend and deep wounds are basically always 20% of my overall damage combined

slow saddle
#

yeah, its just as collosus its another short cd that misaligns with everything else 😄 which is why ppl "hate it"

#

when u play slayer its just a nice button

plucky fern
#

i think i'd even love more focus on sks so that actually becomes rotational ability with like 10 seconds cd, but then slam needs to go, maybe remove ms cd and delete slam

#

unbuffed mortal strike is barely better than slam now

#

why cooldown on it still exist

slow saddle
#

i mean martial prowess is the evil

#

not ms

#

MS is important

#

its the core of arms

#

remove that, and u might as well remove the class

plucky fern
#

i said remove cooldown of ms

#

not remove ms

slow saddle
#
