For the raid, it's a boss per boss case
But i think slayer would still be the go to
Again, BS nerf is...not big at all for us
it was already good
it was already the pick for M+ yes
But yeah, Blizzard has connected their brain and only hit Fury
Sooooo arms for st fury still for aoe
arms for pros, fury for noobs
Slayer def still ahead in raid but colossus was already competing in dungeons
so this might keep it even or give colo a little edge maybe
assuming you dont botch any demolishs
dont read it we dooming
I don't think it will either. Slayer was already 10% ahead
yeah
BS nerf is like, 1% damage for us in ST?
A bit more maybe
It's so low in our damage done
for pure ST
In my logs its around 0.6-0.8%
( it's my parse from the princess)
on pure ST
Fury chat is unhinged, lol
This trinket doesn't appear at bloodmallet and raidbots don't know it either
Nope
This place is more chill indeed
Fury refugee?
Go back to fury
Come in, we chill
Colossus was our pick for M+, so even better
@weak wave Id help you with that trinket but I dont understand what laguage that is.
Hmm
m+ buffs, raid nerfs (0.6-1%)
its german xD
sad
guys dont check the fury channel ...
@proven cloak I assumed so... just didn't want to assume then get bitched at saying it's something else lol
😄
is arms aoe competitive with fury in m+?
that also means that prot got a small damage buff too
Oh god I checked...
cool
I do like how we can get some absolutely ABSURD sudden death rng in raid though. Speaking of fun arms stuff lol
they make also a hastag
Fury would still remain spikey at aoe bursts, but less so
guys they changed arms 2pc tier set: Now also buffs bladestorm by 10%
@weak wave I see it on Bloodmallet Arms list its the 18th one down the list.
They seem to already be doing that... then again fury warrior players are like Orange cats... they share the brain cell 🤣
Hmm I don't
Nor is it in my sim
@weak wave https://imgur.com/DWtLRTy
Outside of the egg trinket the passive options are down horrendous
some of the delve trinkets are so bad that it surprises me
bro nobody knows this trinket
I love how Archi is busy calming the fury enjoyers down, while here, we chill
Now buff MS blizzard, thanks.
lmao
Damn I love this gif
Omg, I spent 20sec in there and it’s a bloodbath lord lol
I was gonna post it in fury channel, i wil avoid
They rather die from threat on every pull

it was me during the echo splits topping the dps meter
This channel is always pretty quiet unless there’s a significant buff or change then it’s like 50 people talking at once

We're arms, we're calm, we're one with the blade
Well its not bad
@weak wave @frank fog this interaction between you two is so precious
demolish rising or is slayer still better for incoming tuning?
@cloud gyro Look man I'm tryin to help 😂
I just can't read german
demolish still good for dungeons, slayer still good for raid
I hope demolish gets closer to Slayer in terms of DPS. I just love pressing that button.
For short : Slayer still way ahead for ST
Colossus a bit better in M+
I wish upon every colossus enjoyers a parried Demolish
theres no way it can get parried
it can
it can
Well, as long as you're hitting the back of a boss, you're fine
But it cannot be garanted 100% of the time
Look... Arms and Fury are temporary. We all know that the true warrior enjoyer is waiting for Gladiator Stance to make its glorious return.
an ?? mob can parry
that includes last boss in Dawnbreaker
that your forced to fight infront of
yeah ok then it makes sense
as long as the possibillity exists that in the same pull your CS and Demolish can be parried Colossus forever shit to play in my mind
There's a few movement trick for colossus SMASH
are delves fixed yet?
I don't think so? Atleast according to my servers trade chat like 30min ago.
it also just has insane damage reduc on it
yeah im facetanking everything
Nah you can play with it, with good knownledge
for delves just wait two minutes between every pull for cds, ez
or just heroic throw and LoS every cast while brann takes aggro
I'll be honest, I haven't even tried DPS Brann, maybe that would have made some of those delves easier
Honestly the thing I enjoy the most so far from hero talents is Relentless Pursuit on Slayer. Remove all movement CC and 70% movespeed for 3 seconds has felt really nice.
its kinda mandatory unless u wanna spend an hour in each delve
Delves are perfectly fine the only problem is lieutenant mobs, there’s one in each delve, and they are way overtuned
You can skip a few with meld and such or blow everything on them and you’ll get them down
But you def have to pull around them
I play with healer bran with two cheat death related idols
If they were perfectly fine you wouldnt have blizzard post "its a top priority to fix delves" on all communication channels
s
Thats part of the delve
there are like 4 of them on 11
You have to kite the boss to the entrance and die so u can release past them
And all of them are doable as prot
Yeah there’s a part of delves that’s very challenging at our ilvl that doesn’t mean it’s not doable
I've managed to do a few T11 deathlesses and you really do have to cheese it, T8s were pretty much fine today across the board except maybe sinkhole with some abd elite spawns. They are probably harder than they need to be for the average player/moleman
I personally bricked one and completed three
I managed 3/4 solo today
The heralds are messed up.
I solod 4 aswell but it sucked ass to play
Yeah I definitely had an easier time yesterday, still managed it today, I'd like to keep the 9-11 difficulty higher but make the 8s easier imo for now
Only change I like is that they removed the one-shot from the AoE fear the worms do.
Its just shit content and way too hard/time consuming for what its meant to be
That's just like, your opinion man
And blizzards
The first part 'shit content'
Thats why they have it as a top priority to fix it
What is the amount of rage generated by Arms' auto attack?
Okay yeah
Yeaaah nerf again, Being B+ is still too for arm warior in the eyes of blizzard.
That’s not really a nerf worthy of a mention lol
It’s like .5%
Practically nothing
^
It's not like it's the meta spec atm
We will be midd'e of the pack at full gear
for us i think its same think still alive after the hammer
Arms channel good 
fury channel probably go to arcane mage
not even a hammer really, like a slight breeze of wind
Fury channel is in meltdown
I'm surprise that the impact is dat low on fury's damage
what happens in there is none of my business, i need to keep my braincells in tact
Arms stays winning
Fury got a slap on their wrist, we got a small tickling. Everything is fine
It makes me sad how every season they get lulled into complacency by decent tuning at launch
Plus the singletarget performance of our hero talents is a little bit closer together than before
More colossus buffs pls 
I do wonder how close we are in mythics for aoe arms slayer and fury slayer
I want to live in a 50 million aoe dmg demolish world
Also cleave crits are still so much fun with all the buffs
Had a 2.5 mill cleave crit yesterday, love to see it
Are you playing demolish in m0 hroth?
im thinking of going arms after the patch, maybe it will be the best idea ?
things die too fast in M0 at the moment so i'm doing Slayer since it's not as cooldown dependent, but also it doesn't matter much for m0s
for m0s just happily follow your ret friends as they delete every pack in a micro second
i definitely prefer colossus though
wish it wasn't almost double-digit percents behind slayer
its 8% now Mr Hrothmar
if you turn it sideways its inifinity %
What talent for leveling for arms do i want to go as from 70-80 also hero talents
who this i never seen you before here
always!
are arms warrior any good in raid for st ?
Good enough, fury is better suited for boss+add handling due to their cooldown alignments and ease of flexing into AoE on a whim
but arms does perfectly fine
You can always make up on unethical add padding during execute phase
its okey to get a hang of it helped me for the first 2 days at least
Hekili isn't inheritly bad as a tool, but it takes some practice and knowledge to understand how to use it to its full potential.
It's perfectly fine to use, but be aware that it doesn't have an understanding of things like, "adds will spawn soon", so you might use your cooldowns at inopportune times. Generally it's fine, but it has pitfalls.
but then when i learned the patterns just made a few wa to track stuff and turned it off after
For instance on the last boss if you delay the bladestorm when it tells you to for 5 seconds you will do like 4x dmg because you will have it during web brake
on both webs it lines up perfectly but hekili doesnt count for that
are arms easyer to paly then fury in raid ?
wow that tuning was fast
No, arms isn’t hard. But fury is like, in the trinity of easiest to play specs in the game
Alongside its brothers bm and ret
wish stat prio was the same so I can play both
No
That would be nice
It’s a very small loss every time I sim haste mastery for arms on crafted pieces
@grave mulch Fury just got nerfed
Stats arent as important as you think just have a 2nd set of rings and neck and your more than fine
really :O?? Link notes
good to know
@grave mulch https://www.wowhead.com/news/upcoming-class-tuning-for-mythic-week-boomkin-buffed-dps-warrior-nerfed-346658
here ya go
TRUEEEE ty Bozo i just woke up xD
it's better to start good and get nerfs tbh, they always put the kid gloves on for buffs
Why do we cop a nerf
arms BS caught a stray
that's two now..lol
it basically is, yeah - BS has the same coefficient for both specs, and they don't have any good spec specific tuning knobs for it atm
a move in the right direction?
we got a SS nerf
surely they can let it be its not like arms is holding a candle to fury aoe rn
They assumed all the fury players would just reroll arms and it would take its place on the chart, which, I mean, they are prob right tbh. That said i don’t think these numbers are super accurate given the lack of tier gear still
Was thinking about the tuning knobs today hoping they adjusted the spec ones first before the overall class. Glad Arms didnt get caught too much in the crossfire.
prot buffs in disguise
fury still gonna top
I haven’t looked into the size of the nerfs, so I can’t comment there
Fury still gonna top padding fights and lose on ST fights so nothing really changed
Specifically in terms of arms vs fury ofc
@shut shore #updates-midnight Can see em right there I believe.
Arms comes out of this looking relatively better? Just a guess. Arcane and fdk were nerfed as well
is arms easier than fury?
was running healer Bran until I read this and guess what, dps sure did better lol
we cant lose when we get colossus buffs 
You require Wrist straps to play fury if that answers the question
I dont like pressing to many buttons
@edgy solstice Can see the quick math as the most recent post in the channel #updates-midnight Slap on the wrist for both specs really.
Look it like this Arms might have a APM of 40 per min. Fury has 100 APM

Yeah I moreso mean comparatively to other specs that were above us and got nerfed
I'm not sure on their exact hits but arms stonks could be going up despite being nerfed
arms ST is still hot
theyre both very easy
Yeah bladestorm hit is tuff but you weren't playing arms in raid to pad aoe anyway
it affects ST a bit but BS wasnt doin much of our ST %
arms is still good anyways
Yeah it wasnt too much of a nerf. If you look at the parse amounts for Fury vs Arms you can see that Fury has like 25000 and Arms has like 4500ish. People who play Arms tend to just want to play Arms.
fury is pretty much always more popular even if arms is better
ya
though I feel like fury rotation is easier
Its easier. its just spamming the F out of buttons
Simple. padding.
It is what it is. I like Arms I play Arms... I'll only do Fury if Arms is SO bad that it looks like boomkin rn or straight up hinders my friends in the group content we do. I will play Arms and get KSM and AOTC just as easiliy as any fury player would.
We lost less than 1% in ST
Oh 100% agreed.
in other word, nothing
Boomies getting the 3rd rework in 2 years
I think our tier set is weak tbh compared to who we're competing with for the token.
Buff needed.
King of getting reworked is Spriest. Played it for 2 xpacs and saw like 5 version of it.
just got a 1H sword from bount chest (loot was fury)
its 100% boomies and ret pally
time to smf
hey any of u have weakaura to show abbilities rotation, like what u click it will show without showing action bar
yeah its
and reading wowhead guide
idk but like this
the red circle
smone said it was weakaura
and i need to find it in discord
may smone got one
tbh i dont trustr that kinda stuff
to show the last button you pressed or to show what you need to press?
ah kk lemme check
There's a wa called GCDHistory or so it seems
i cant find it
basically TrufiGCD, except a lot less code cheers for the initial i
yea seems like that
aw
sweet lemme try
i got u man, thanks anyway, now i can hide my action bar with this wa ❤️
details has it
Ah, a pass on trinkets
how? teach me
If I craft a weapon without a crest, can I recraft it with crest later?
yes
oh sorry, thought it was cata warrior server, cz i got this disc from google:(
I will say, I feel like unhinged got nerfed cuz of fury and now bs got nerfed cuz of fury

I'd be pissed if arms gameplay wasn't so boring to begin with
Make a weak aura to remind you
make a weak aura that screams MORE DOTS when there's 4 seconds left on rend
That being said SKS can go diaf
yeah it's just button bloat
Ye I just don't look at wa
I was seeing less druids lately, I guess they were all in your raid
This is detials action tracker
You can find it in details > options > streamer tools
ight lemme try
are u trying this on retail? cz i cant see any streamer tools on cata lol
Oh on cata details might not have that plugin, I know its a thing for retail
yea mb thought im in right disc lol
try just doing /streamer that works on retail for me
i tried
ah yeah idk then gg cataclysm 
Is it worth crafting wep with sigil embellishment using hc crests?
I'd save till mythic crests
Just to avoid recrafts
Im sure i wont get enough mythic crests for 2 weeks cuz its gonna cost 90 crests compared to hc's 45
As a colossus arms player:
🤣🤣🤣
where can i find the most up to date arms talents?
ty
I love how both a buff to colossus and a nerf to slayer still results in it being massively rebind
Like God it's doomed
Perhaps the most perfect gif that ever gifed
unlike fury, slamming is pretty common in arms ST isnt it?
yeah it's a filler when no op/sks
i like arms but how does it fare on raid in cleave fights vs fury? I full cleared palace other night and was pumping as fury, unsure how arms would be
Slayer was nerfed because Arms BS and Furys is the same. Arms was nerfed for the sins of Fury
the constant fury cleave felt dumb, cant imagine how arms would keep up, but then again, i dont play arms lol
fair
Arms just less bursty
I think it's preposterous that Fury's cleave is insanely high while still competing with Arms on ST.
It's unfair the nerfs to MS that we got in the last beta build before launch.
Also loses a bit more damage talenting into cleave for arms
i mean arms is still a good spec right now
i think the ms nerfs were fair but i think a power adjustment wouldve been better
furys 'niche' for the past handful of patches has been doing insane aoe with only losing a little bit of st
Delete fury
so if fury is even middle of the pack st they will be pretty good depending on how the raid bosses are
fury is just designed better and has a way better talent tree. they don't sacrifice much when they opt for certain talents, st or aoe. you don't have to like fury to see that.
arms generally is all in on one or the other
slayer bladestorm is a wish come true in that regard tbh
Fury may be designed better and is somehow still kinda boring
And titans grip is goofy
Like in DF for raids Arms was noticeably better for 90% of the fights.
And was really close with Fury's prime in s3.
And yeah fury has actual good talent design. Which is what makes arms's tree all the more baffling
Tww changes piss me off still
Agreed
They Essentially made a worse version of df arms
Fury just flows really well. It's super smooth brain and a lot of people just love high apm, smash buttons, do big dam
I've stopped liking high apm nowadays
fury and arms have always been super close, one being chosen over the other depending on the boss fight
for the past few expansions
well, couple expansions
i dont know shit about bfa bc i was a pisslo noob
You started in bfa 
I think arms is the best it's been right now since prob early BFA?
no but i was shit in bfa
Design wise ofc
best in what capacity
Not numbers or performance
well design wsie is completely up for debate
I don't think it is
I'm mad they took dfs tree, which was bad, and then...made it worse by splitting up talents randomly
The only change I agree with mostly is dn and SoA being a choice node. Evreything else is so much "But WHY"
I wasn't a fan of DF talents but rn we're not running fatality, can run bladestorm in a ST build and execute phase feels good
All improvements from DF
Idk I fucking love it. The option to pump it on St or hold it for adds is flexibility. You can use it to get out of roots
The best iteration of Arms warrior was in SL from s2 and onwards. And played both Nfae and Kyrian in raid for ST and AoE fights.
In keys Kyrian Arms was a demon with mikanikos.
SL S2 arms was good
Hell even Venth in s1 in raids was fun for me at least.
SL s3 and 4 were not. Just spamming fervor 27 gcds in a row makes me wanna take a screwdriver to my eyeballs
Also honestly I thought df exe was perfectly fine
That's fair
I'll take cleave over fob/ww gameplay any day
s3 Arms tier was fun in keys just cleaving MS and executes from SD proc's was funny lol
I like both
All I want is for them to consolidate the old talents back where they were in df, remove fatality and give us a new "capstone" in its place
Too much EP value pre-execute I think
S3 comes to haunt us again
hello brave and smart warriors. I am a dumb warrior. I seem to only have 1 spark and 1 fractured spark of omen but I can't think of where I might get another fractured spark. Do you folks know what I might be missing to get one? :/
i started in shadowlands 
well, warrior in bfa*
i misunderstood the context
Miss shadowlands
Tbh I just feel bad people missed legion
I love plausible deniability when I bottom dam
hey did anyone sim how good earthen were for warriors or does it not matter
i was a blood dk in legion and i got my legendary a month late into prog when it finally dropped off a yellow goat. 
season 1 was not fun
They are roughly middle of the pack
I don't quite recall where you get it, but just do weekly content/delves and you should get it. As a side note, check in your bank in case you accidentally deposited it there alongside other reagents
thank you wiser and smarter warrior than I
slayer arms ST fucks
Almost certain dungeons/raid should work too, but I've gotten the half on both my main and alt this week while just playing the game
we finally raiding cuz we weekend guild
this shit pipes
execute crit 50/50 in s1 gear 
fucks
good
gonna give it a shot in this heroic pull
arms feels quite good in raid
execute hits hard
doesnt feel awful on brood
you have BS with add sets cuz lol slayer and AM
Slayer is an absolute banger in Raid, Colossus, well we dont talk about that
Did I miss the stat/sim on if Colossus caught up with a +20% on the first two hits of Demo?
Dunno if anyone did the math, my guess is that its far away from being competitive in ST even with this buff
archi already did napkin math in #updates-midnight
it's still 8% behind lmao
bummer. Thank you team!
The 20% adds up to about 0.5% damage lol
20% of shit is still shit
Nah not true
I learned in shadowlands that 51% of shit is no longer shit
And in this prepatch that 43% of shit is no longer shit
nah their cowards for not buffing the third hit!
just make MS on Colossus hit for 200% extra crit damage, make us stack crit to the max you cowards
is there ever a time to rend or is it fully replaced with thunder clap?
where is the gain?
Minor initial damage
thank you i read it as it would cast actual rend
It only apply bleed
Not the initial damage
Arms owns

2 piece tier doesn't change our rotation does it?
4pc changes our rotation
4pc does indeed change our rotation
whats the play now arms or fury
nothing changed
I'm a nature wizard now. 
Mr Lightning bolt it is
it sgood
We merely set foot into the peak of mount Olympus only to be struck down with nerfs

We were smote
(literally some of the most minor nerfs possible)
less than 1% nerf welp time to reroll boys its over
Did colosus not get buffed
Ah to bad
Colo is destined to be behind until it's reworked tbh
nah just keep buffing demolish
They can buff demolish until it does literal damage cap on a crit, it'll still be behind 
I have seen the light of slayer
And not having a coinflip as like 20% of your damage
That you loose 80% of the time
ill take a MS buff otherwise im chillin
arms slayer pipes ST
So is Slayer pulling ahead of Colossus rn in pve?
Reap is like half your aoe damage 
or they close?
8% behind in ST
For colossus
Slayer is just ahead by all accounts and...more consistant. Like a lot more consistant
Honestly it's what I despise about both our heros
they make all CDs completely fucked
enemy mobs quaking in boots
My only main issue with Slayer is relying on good mark RNG for bladestorm timings
its really annoying on one pull to get unlucky and now you dont have BS up for adds
Honestly at least it's less RNG then Colossus
i think AM goes a long way with that
we at least have BS for every other CS cuz 45vs 90
and then CDR
Well yeah but like welcome to wow
but yea i had a pull with lust i didnt get an SD proc for some time
usually expect it within first few globals
i like that bis profile has BS like every 40 seconds
slayers just fun man. unhinged causing more reap the storm
Slayer just feels good cuz of numbers
feels like a diablo class
honestly if I didn't have a damage meter I'd probally enjoy it less
big reap enjoyer fun to see the procs
just stacking leggo effects or w/e i never played diablo
Reap feels stupid good
ill take BS dmg not being nerfed tho for arms
you wanna know why
it was nerfed
Arms and Fury share the same bladestorm
so they cant nerf it for fury without nerfing it for arms
it finally feels good to press
CS avatar and max overhwlem stacks
- mast BS just slicing shit
i wanted to hit max cleave in a stonevault so i started holding BS until after sweeping to apply max overwhelm stacks to everything

14 stack collat
12 overhwlem stacks bye bye
1mil cleaves 
Not true fury bladestorm is way faster than arms
thats not what im talking about
it is the same spell, fury just has a few hidden modifiers that reduce its duration and enable the offhand hit
as stated though, that really is the reason why both arms and fury BS were nerfed - they share the same spell coefficient and there's currently no spec-specific modifier for it
Arms suffers for Furys sins
man its nasty how good my gear is for fury when I just wanna play arms for heroic week

arms delve ring
i got pretty lucky with arms gear and by gear i mean rings
nvm that came from world boss yuge
I cant get the siege of boralus ring
good rings yee
and champ track
didnt get any delve heroic maps or w/e so i guess thats my luck went
Did we now know which embelishment we went after tuning?
Wow solo arms delve are really hard
yea wouldnt recommend
delves = fury
It's not even that it's hard, it's that blizzard thinks throwing two casters at you is a good idea
I'm not buying an OF for fury lol
each one hitting for a cpl mil
I mean yeah
Also SR feels great on them but you can only SR so much
That being said I was plesantly surprised by the amount of stops
I feel like it's doable, but shit like the ambush in earthcrawl mines is honestly just poor design
*would be nice if brann could also just like...be a tank
I bet ret can do it
Overwhelmed falling off makes me wanna throw my monitor out the window
Why do you choose to suffer 
Like sure arms has more damage on delves but it's not beating fury sustain
yeah I dont bother tracking that. Not much you can do about it
if/when they get rid of hero talents slayer should just be arms
closest thing weve had to a real spec in like a decade
weird way to spell colossus but yes
i want to like colossus but meh
i don't really like it rn but i feel like colossus is more akin to arms' identity
somehow feels outdated. furys procs like reap and mark feel good
whereas colossus "stacking dmg increases"
to various things
slayer arms just feels like it's too close to fury thematically
buff battlelord and such and let colossus get away from unhinged
i dont like both builds are super similar
hoping for fatal mark remove and something there colossus wants as much as slayer likes bladestorm
like fundamental to the spec p much
ideally it'd be cool to see colossus very ms-heavy, throw in mortal combo and bigger crits, etc and keep slayer around op/exe
but two hero talents with completely diff identities while also being balanced is too dreamworld
put a good battlelord there
let unhinged/BS be for slayer
and good battlelord/whatever else on left side for col
80% of why arms feels good rn is not running that dogshit talent
put focused rage there tbh
The tax we have to pay for ms to be good 
\I stopped
and just went to go do it in a group 
Fucking GARBAGE
I think delves are just overtuned and very leaning towards grinding the mobs down 1 by 1, that's not arms forte
delves kinda free tbh
prot delves are where its at
just go in with parry, reflect, kick whatever bolt is being flinged at you
brann one shots everything
And then the game just
dosen't let you do that
Which is really dumb
For me I had more success with brann as healer
If not shadow bolts just kill me before I can do anything
be sure not to equip the Rage Idol on him, as a side note.
he'll just kill himself every time it procs
D stance and enraged was how I cleared solo delves
DR is king
brann is dead 24/7
Same lil bro is not taking aggro
i just go as prot to solo delve even then its a struggle
Not using that but brann isnt taking much dmg
right, if he does, it'll just kill him
bran as dps better faster kill time less dmg take
if you're not, dont worry about it
Tried that, didn't find success
definitely struggling with solo 9s on my end though
Maybe it's the curios setup but bro is not doing more dmg to warrant less healing
But maybe I need to try prot
Ik I'm only like 585 because I've been lazy this week
And by lazy I mean space marine 2 has consumed my life and I need help
585 is fine on fury, that was my ilevel when I started
But I genuinely don't think 15 ilvls worth of gear will help at T8
Arms don't have enough sustained Dr and ignore pain just gets shredded
Yeah arms just isn't ideal for solo content
Like I like arms also but after 3 tries or so on tier 8 I was like this is not working
D stance and ignore pain and I still get chunked
I just got fed up and got a group
Genuinely feels like you need a 5 man or one of each role present
DW I think they will tweak delves for sure
I'd be shocked if they didn't tbh
If fury warrior is sweating, other classes without sustain = unplayable
trying to fight anything in an honest fight i wouldnt recommend, just tag it with heroic throw and let brann do the work
Yeah that's just not fun
Add : LOS everything
Altough tbh Blizz hasn't had a good track record of tuning solo content aside from mage tower
did all 8 bontiful delves with arms with ilvl ~590, it was hard for me but doable
Blizzard: who said you could had fun
once he has threat u can kinda just blast and make sure u spell reflect/stun a bunch 🤷♂️
used dps bran through the delve but often switched to healer bran on the end boss. Not sure if its optimal, just what worked for me
Could you share your setup
Like interested to know how you manage
used M+ build, Porcelain Arrohead and Amorphous Relic
Torgahust was fucking ridicious until higher ilvls, like wayyyy higher ilvls in a season, idk if islands were even soloable...
pulled really slow and used impending victory heavily
Thanks, will give it a try
It's the same with fury, anything more than 2 mobs it's a struggle
idk my brann does like 20 mil dps
Delves have just been a lot of waiting on cds for me. They've been rough but the only thing actually undoable ive found so far was waxface
i just have to not die for 10 secs max and pack dies
again, I'm not a good player so someone here might have a better suggestion 🙂
what level
I tend to have ADHD and not keep waiting for cds
8-9
i havent tried a 10 yet
ya i def do a "oh fuck it i'll be fine" charge in at least once a delve
then die
for big pulls I charged, clap, roar, bs and mid bladestorm spell relflect + die by the sword. Then when BS finishes shockwave the whole pack and finish the casters (those hurt)
how are u guys not clearing t8? trivial at 600 ilvl
T8 was easy with a group today. But T9 as a group clapped my cheeks even as prot against the mini boss
dude i just realized avatar literally says it turns you into a colossus. why doesn't that synergize more with colossus spec itself?
well there was some hotfixes with unintended changes to group scaling today supposedly
bc avatar is mountain thane's gimmick i guess
Maybe I just needed to be patient and wait for cds
1 sword >> 2 swords
My friend just opened his map
GOT A HERO TRACK AXE
Meanwhile the only thing these delves have given me is literally just on use trinkets
SPECFICALLY on use trinkets
speaking of delve trinkets, is this one trash? i dont see it at all on bloodmallet but it seems like its pretty bad
Arms the move now after fury nerfs?
It's really fucking bad
Lmao they really need to buff delves trinkets if we’re supposed to be getting hero track ones
At least not the point they might be bis
But good enough
What Hero talents will you choose after the balance patch?
Still slayer
thx
The poison conc trinket from delves is simming well and seems nice
but I need to make an entire WA for it to track it because I am always forgetting to redo it and get stunned for 5 seconds
but the other delve trinkets seem REAL bad
Yeah, I'm holding onto my delve trinkets and seeing how they will be after the buff. They sim so bad I can't help but feel it wasn't intended lol
the spelunkers waning candle and quickwick candlestick seem decent
is there a rough conversion rate for how much ilvl a gem slot is worth?
why not just sim it when its convenient
Blizzard telling you to gtfo and come back next season 
LOL
I am on cloak number 9
OOF
3 maps 3 cloaks 
Pro tip: expect nothing and never be disappointed 
3 full world tours dungeons 10 keys 1 full normal clear not a single weapon 
Time to reroll
At least I got 2 1hand weapons how bad is single minded fury 
craft 2 2hs and its better
does anyone know anyone in US that can do R5 pvp chest?
do two bgs and craft a 610 pvp weapon
Hi
Does the mortal strikes during bladestorm from unhinged get sweeping strikes buff?
no
They used to though. Was nice.
who thinks arms will be better than fury after nerfs then?
Think arms is already close if not ahead,your average fury warrior is not critcake regen
Arms is harder to mess up
otherway around
I'm liking arms more than fury right now, but I'm kinda biased. I was a massive arms fanatic back in Cata and Legion.
fury will likely still be better on most bosses with arms still being good overall
how you thinking in m+ though?
Fury is likely better become odyns fury has like no cd
But arms likely has close aoe but better priority dmg and ST
Of is a fixed cd
Arms has to lose more st to gain aoe than fury does
Do i like doing damage?
Yes
Question is answered
Yeah, just did a M0 and really felt the lack of aoe at times. Fury loses nothing in ST or AoE. I gotta admit though, I do like how Arms feels right now.
I like those big chunky numbers.
3 mil cleaves are pog
It does not lose nothing but it does lose less than Arms does
Not as Colossus
Slayer arms is a spinny squishy rogue, Colossus is an arms great general!
Nah, I like ravager/unhinged as Colossus
Dunno, I was day 1 Colossus and I'll still be playing it (Tried Slayer plenty of times and it's just spinning and roguey strike procs that don't fit the fantasy imo)
Ideally Blizz said they want the Hero talents within like 3% of each other in DPS
Colossus has the utility/defensive advantage over Slayer. so I'm okay with being behind a few percent in pure ST
I want to know 2
slayer still better
ok seems fair, i wanted to try in M+ but until now slayer still seemed better
In M+ they're very even
In pure ST Slayer is ahead in % but like 3x as squishy to unavoidable damage
🧢
I'd rather stay alive and not rely on healers
I mean as long as you time your demolishes and not full send them on cd
you were talking unavoidable damage, not avoidable
Demolish requires timing, positioning, and decision making, so it's harder to play
Yeah
You can techically die if you demolish right as a swirl spawns under you
I saw your video haha
i dont see how col is much tankier than slayer
its more self sustain passively thats all
demolish debuff isnt that big a deal, 2.5% passive DR is neat ig
You debuff them when you demolish, mountain gives you a damage reduction passively, and you get veteran vitality every minute
It's very noticable in solo delves
How much tankier you get to be
suppose you could demolish before taking unavoidable damage, love having defensive tied to my damage button with a cd
that's 297.5% off slayer being 3x as squishy
hence my 🧢
you're allowed to enjoy colossus
And the wrecked debuff that makes enemies do 5% less damage to you after a full stack demolish
I was overexaggerating but it's very noticable in solo content when you have to tank as Arms or have to offtank for 10 seconds if tank dies in M+ or whatever
But then you need to keep demolish as def cd, I think that without using on cd, Col does way less dmg
Yes i soloed delves 8 with no problem, had to press an healing potion or two but no problem, my friend shadowpriest also soloed np… i think every spec has an chance to solo it
You don't need to keep demolish as defensive CD
It's up enough times
But the ideal dps cenário isn’t about using on cd?
Pvp im playing slayer, pve full colossus
And it's a combination of like 3 passives, not just the demolish dr, it's more like Slayers lack of good defensives if anything that makes Colossus shine more defensively
I think arms slayer is harder to solo delves 8 than colossus, but fury slayer is easy
You use demolish on CD (carefully!) and everything that was demolished deals less damage to you for like 10+ seconds, the debuff is called "Wrecked!"
Yuge
I’m 598, might test arms, but I have so much mastery and haste
Was playing fury
Prob not ideal
Arms likes Crit
haste is good for arms and crit doesnt change the rotation so
you will experience the playstyle accurately
Nice! The builds are correct in the links?
damn i got an second two hander, might try some fury
slayer is easier to play and i felt it has more consistancy... you keep spinnin and blastin with procs, very often procs, but rotation wise is not hard
colossus on the other hand, you need to know when to burst... since trash dont last 10 secs we cant really know, we throw only 1 demo per pack... but i think we shall get to an point that trash shall last longer, and then im curious to see the specs performance
I think colossus is for sure harder to play if ur talking dungeons - you need to plan ahead and setup cleaves
yes im talking about m+ dungeons
colossus is mega with good setups but only playing it with guild groups and comms for full potential
Slayer has better flow tho, both are fun so win win
I really hope they rework demo a bit tho
it just makes life bad as it works currently... it cant be a target channel thats just dumb
Make demolish like killing spree yuh let us die in style
Im fine with being stuck in place for a bit but if the target teleports or dies or moves 2mm my demolish gets canceled like what is that bro
agreed... thats why im playin pvp as slayer xD
DR from demo should be hier, the idea of trhowin an big hit regardless whats happenin is cool for colossus fantasy
Is colossus decent in raid with buffs ar all? Im a prot main but sometimes like to play arms
i think yes, ppl were sendin their sims, and it appears that arms slayer and colossus is close... but i played the raid normal as slayer,tbh i didnt knew fights so i was afraid demo would kill me or something
Id still go slayer for raid
I hope they tweak Col soon to make it better with arms skill set, I want to have some build diversity and big smashes are fun
I like the idea of demo it reminds me of ravage from swtor
statswise colossus need tons of crit
the most frustrating part is that its already almost good
but its not, you know what I mean
8% is big number
what is the cleave priority after poppin CDs in AOE, just send it off CD or?
I got 2 610 hero track weapons from delve... i refuse to click fury xD
buff arms deathdrive
@smoky kayak any estimate how much is the % difference in dps between having 636 weapon vs 639? just thinking the spark usage
in a situation where you have 4 set and pretty end game gear
it's not a question of 636 vs 639, it's 636 + embellishment vs 639 + other embellishments
and the answer is very little - Arms can use either in ST, but double dusk is much better suited to M+
well i mainly think of it from a m+ perspective, so not sure how good those ramp up embelishments are
kk
i was 30% crit now im 15%... but haste is now 20%
if all you care about is M+, go double dusk - see #1237307555961634826
how about the vers ramp up weapon embelishment, does it fall short by much in comparison?
its ass
What % uptime do linings sim at by default?
60
You can safely bump it up tho IMO
Yeah depending on your content
I use 70% for my comparisons, which seems like a fairly reasonable early-prog number
I am having consistant 70-90% uptime in HC depending on fight
If you had a hero weapon/belt and a hero crit/haste cloak would you then go craft bracers/ring at this stage? (they are worse
but each additional 10% uptime is like +0.13% performance, so it's not exactly a large leap
You're more prone to be close to 90% in keys and heroic imo so linings would be the clear choice there
90% in keys is not real lol
BSL averaged like 30-40% uptime once you cut out the downtime between pulls (where obviously you have it active, but you're not hitting anything either)
Depends on the type of key no? My bsl uptimes outside of push-level keys was like 70% ish
I'm not saying BSL or Dusk are bad, just that those numbers can be very misleading
anyway, as per #1237307555961634826
- the darkmoon embellishments are hot garbage in M+, the mechanics simply do not allow dropping combat for any amount of time
- if you're focusing M+, you want double dusk
- if you're focusing raid, you can go either, potentially leaning toward weapon if you're also flexing a lot with Fury
remember how annoying it was trying to maintain Signet in M+ during Dragonflight? Darkmoon is the same thing, but worse
Yeah I'm staying away from that lol
basically, Ascension checks for combat every 8s
- if you're in combat when the check hits, you get a buff stack
- if not, you don't
- buff stacks last 15s, so if you miss a check (8s), you now have 7s left on the buff - ergo, missing one check means your buff will not refresh
That means you don't have 15s to maintain the buff; you don't even 8s to get into combat, you have 8s since the last check - if the last check happened 4s before combat ended, you have 4s to get back into combat
Symbiosis works the same way too ya?
symbiosis is a 10s check and stacks a bit differently, but yes
Ravage in Swtor is the same as Master Strike on the Republic faction mirror class? Thats why I have loved the idea of Demolish in TWW 😄
Swtor is the reason I play WoW today. Loved that mmorpg, which is very WoW-ish in terms of gameplay
Buff ms
Ez
@sly venture Exactly why I didnt get mad when I saw channeled for the ability. Played Jugg in swtor for years I know how to work with it and it aint that bad.
I play arms with the longer sweeping strikes talent instead of the big cleave talent, that gives me a ton more uptime on colossus stacks, what about u guys?
Oh my! Can't agree more. Funny how something close to heart can impact our stance in another game. I love Colossus because it also reminds me of the Ravage/Master Strike ability for the Warrior/Knight class.
Though I only play Slayer now anyway. Haha!
the channel is quirky, but there would be a whole lot less complaints about it if Colossus happened to be 10% ahead of Slayer instead of the other way around
I find Slayer to be surprisingly fun. Glad I enjoy both hero talents
Though If I recall, Bioware Austin (the good studio back then) updated and reworked Ravage (Demolish in TWW) in Swtor so you could actually move around while channeling. @frank fog
@sly venture Yeah they did... but it only took them 10 years to do it 😂
I'm curious what we get next expansion tbh... I know TWW literally just started but I wonder if they expand on the hero talents for the next 2 xpacs... after all its the world soul "SAGA"
I dont think 10 years, I played between 2011 and 2016 and it was changed earlier (i think). And Demolish is the exact same ability
So Blizz will prolly change it
Warrs want to move around haha
Technically is not the first "saga" we had. Just the first time they are coming back to back. TBC, WoD and Legion were technically the Legion saga
@sly venture Movement or no movement I've done both. I'm cool with either way they go with it. Its not so much the abilities fault for missing bc you cant move its the fault of your ADD tank who cant stop moving for a nanosecond. 🤣
True. Still curious what they keep adding/building on that isnt borrowed power.
Speaking of borrowed power. Anyone noticed we still have the heart of Azeroth in our possession lore wise?. We use it to open that portal to the titan facility on a quest
Our character pulls it out during the channel animation
Buff ms
Just coming back from vacation, how’s arms looking with mythic tuning?
Nevermind, saw the picture. No talent changes for us?
For ST and MT?
on details which is time in combat and assuming you took out some time to gather the pulls you probably had 60% in some dungeons
which is an extremely far cry from 90
it's easier to keep up the new bsl though
but that's also trash + bosses, and your uptime in each matters
sure, nobody said Dusk was bad
the guy just said that he had 90% which is very not realistic
tbf it's realistic if you just check the % but like I said lots of pulls in higher keys (weekly keys uptime is whatever obv) take some time to gather and I dont think that's relevant uptime even if its in combat
90% is not realistic at all
I mean I checked details and logs immediately
and saw it's same
I could maybe dig it out somewhere but it's from mid s4
I looked at a ton of logs in S3, including several of your own that you provided
and they never matched, BSL uptime was never anywhere near 90%
which is still a far cry from 90%
it's also counting both trash and bosses, which wasn't a great metric w/ DF affixes
the biggest issue too was that the times where you want to burst the most, like that big initial pull in everbloom, also happen to be the times where you're taking the most damage - similar to the smolderon problem in raid
depends what you pull yeah when we tried 30 eb and we skipped abom and the only damage intake was on tank since everything else was baited by ranged player
that's kinda the takeaway, there will always be ways to optimize a bit here and there
Dusk is objectively the best for M+ atm, no argument there, it's also better than bsl in general
Is skullspliter a must? I really hate using it in my rotation, wondering if the dps decrease will be "worth" smoothing the gameplay for me
In AoE/M+ for the colossus build it was about a 6k dps loss for me to drop SKS for Sudden Death. That’s according to sims. I can’t stand Skullsplitter unless it’s pure ST so I’m ok with the DPS loss.
Why does the ST sim yeet a storm bolt after bladestorm on open?
free damage
its kinda peanuts but it is daamge
Ah I see - it’s castable while spinning?
yea
I like the colossus build but also want bladestorm instead och ravager is that possible or am I losing to much dmg in m+?
ravager is just better
Maybe slayer is the way to go for me then. More bladestorms anyway 😅 spin to win
Fuck demolish
Use Bladestorm until you have trouble finishing content, then swap if you have to. The question isn't "Is there something that deals more damage than this?", it's "Does this get the job done?" As long as the answer to that question is "yes", go for it.
