#

ah more nerfs

sharp wyvern
#

yes

plucky zenith
nova marsh
#

next you'll tell me pugs are healthy for you

sharp wyvern
#

i would never do that

fossil mantle
#

Warrior is definetly overtuned, good job Blizz

livid cloak
nova marsh
#

Arms is almost as bad as aug

#

we're fucked

sharp wyvern
#

TIL im out of touch

nova marsh
#

F tier list

fossil mantle
#

who thought a day would come where people would take ferals over dps warriors in keys?

At least the meta is not stale I suppose

sharp wyvern
#

BM getting 10% buff on aoe aswell

latent moss
#

played with a 619 friend

#

5mil every pack

#

xd

#

9 nw

nova marsh
#

Nerf ele instead

latent moss
#

arms is wrong

sharp wyvern
#

playing with a ret that has 30s CDs
while you can only use them every 2nd or 3rd pull is cringe af

latent moss
#

arms does higher overall than fury

#

and their cds are stronger

nova marsh
#

So fuck it we ball

normal marsh
fossil mantle
latent moss
#

its the exact opposite

#

arms has cds every pull

sharp wyvern
latent moss
#

especially colossus

#

colossus has wb demolish roar

#

every pull

fossil mantle
#

Dude, I was the 14th arms warr in the world 3 days ago and I am mediocre as fuck, if a spec is not played at all, there must be a reason

latent moss
#

arms is never played

#

in m+

sharp wyvern
#

i mean there are alot of fury onetricks

latent moss
#

not even

nova marsh
#

Arms is a trash tier M+ spec and fury is a favorite

latent moss
#

its just not popular

sharp wyvern
#

even when arms is better there are a shit ton of fury warriors

normal marsh
latent moss
#
  • arms has a massive stigma around it
#

when it comes to m+

kind stag
#

true

latent moss
#

legit only m+ arms i know

#

is gellyfisk

nova marsh
#

Of it being absoutle dog water

latent moss
#

and he is fucking cracked

kind stag
#

fury is just giga popular

sharp wyvern
#

im 23rd arms on my server and i only did 1 key as arms

nova marsh
kind stag
#

well

nova marsh
#

what server

kind stag
#

i hope my demolish starts critting

latent moss
#

i suggest

fossil mantle
latent moss
#

trying his builds

sharp wyvern
#

ok nvm its 120th now

sharp wyvern
#

i guess people started pl,aying arms

latent moss
#

trash doesnt die

#

in 2 seconds

cunning sleet
#

How big is the roar nerf? 5 targets max seems kinda criminal imo

normal marsh
#

I find arms the most fun to play in keys when you just lean into the execute and boss damage

latent moss
#

very big

#

unironically

normal marsh
#

Still need big ST for tyrannical bosses

latent moss
#

a very big part of our aoe is roar

sharp wyvern
#

do we know what "reduced damage beyond 5 targets" means

normal marsh
#

Plus cleave and the likes can carry well enough for like 3.5-4m cds on trash

cunning sleet
#

Sad, time to start dooming I guess

sharp wyvern
#

like how much less is it

hazy flower
#

the bigger pulls

#

the more overall % did roar

latent moss
#

same as every other softcap

hazy flower
#

so uh

#

yeah

latent moss
#

jugg colossus

hazy flower
#

colossus

#

🤨

fossil mantle
# latent moss what adds

1st boss in Ara Kara, a lot of small mobs in Siege, webs in COT last boss. A lot of things frankly

hazy flower
#

I havent even specced into colossus

kind stag
#

gellys colossus looks interesting but no merciless bonegrinder is eeeeeeeeeeeee

hazy flower
#

ngl I havent done key in arms in tww

cunning sleet
#

well u need more than 5 targets for it to matter

kind stag
#

idk i like that talent a lot

fossil mantle
#

Dont get me wrong, I dont think Arms is bad at all in terms of DPS. However, I do think the nefs were not justified

hazy flower
#

only fury/prot

latent moss
#

its never been this clunky

#

u know the curse i was playing a bit

#

with tom/blunt instruments

hazy flower
#

arms always felt kinda wack on lower keys for me

latent moss
#

this is even clunkier somehow

#

colossus is pretty smooth

hazy flower
#

its fun when shit lives long and you reapply bleeds perma

latent moss
#

also wb isnt much worse anymore

cunning sleet
#

Why do you say it's clunky? What parts?

latent moss
#

blunt instruments

nova marsh
#

I honestly don't feel the clunk on slayer

#

The only part I fucking hate is when slayer strike procs on a target that is LITERALLY DEAD

cunning sleet
#

why is that clunky?

remote ledge
#

I guess we will be playing arms slayer without wb in keys now? Maybe not even going for roar build

nova marsh
#

Because it just....shouldn't?

latent moss
#

cause idont

nova marsh
#

And feels actually awful\

latent moss
#

want to spend half of my sweeping strikes window

fossil mantle
#

nah, roar will still be played. Spear is too shit

latent moss
#

in fucking bladestorm

normal marsh
remote ledge
#

Been loving the Colo wb no juggernaut buikds

normal marsh
#

No juggernaut D:

unique hamlet

Been playing slayer, swapped to Colo for a key and it felt weird af. Lol

they dont listen anyway

nova marsh
livid cloak
#

what about crit thinking no jugg

manic stirrup
#

havent looked into then

#

them

latent moss
manic stirrup
#

ptr datamining means fuckall to me

latent moss
#

dropping jugg for deft experience

latent moss
#

to 5

#

"warbringer" too

#

they prob meant warbreaker

manic stirrup
#

the initial damage or all of it

latent moss
#

all

nova marsh
#

they clearly did

manic stirrup
#

for roar

latent moss
#

thats very big

#

for arms

manic stirrup
#

beans idk why theyre doing that

#

i doubt itll stick

latent moss
#

no one knows

rapid bronze
#

You know what would be funny is if they accidentally add the 3% fury aura nerf that was hotfixed in so quickly and is still on the ptr to nerf it again when the patch goes live

manic stirrup
#

without some sort of compensation

nova marsh
#

it will

manic stirrup
#

but again its ptr datamining

nova marsh
#

Because blizz hates us so much

remote ledge
#

They never backed on ptr nerfs tho?

latent moss
#

idgaf tbh

rapid bronze
#

It’s not ptr datamining they posted patch notes

latent moss
#

we wont be meta nyway

#

when enha and fdk exist

#

sub ret

manic stirrup
#

i only saw datamining posted

latent moss
#

etc

shadow ibex
#

i love that they still mistake warbringer and warbreaker

latent moss
#

assa

shadow ibex
#

i fuckin love it

manic stirrup
#

must’ve missed it

nova marsh
#

Tf even is warbringer

cunning sleet
#

wtf us a warbrubger

#

warbringer

rapid bronze

I’m rerolling ret because it’s a well designed spec and has nice visuals

Also warbringer rocked for a while in PvP we called winbringer

sharp wyvern
#

Since max vault is 10 now tyran is always up

livid cloak
#

i only have 1 (untimed) 10 rn so i'm still working my way up

rapid bronze
#

I remember in SL killing rogues with avatar charge while talented into warbringer

Since thats what blizz balance for

shadow ibex

i fuckin love these clowns

latent moss
#

8 RAGE

shadow ibex
#

i fucking love em man

cunning sleet
#

iosn't dreadnaught better for aoe?

shadow ibex
#

a whole talent point that only works sub 35%

manic stirrup
#

dreadnaught is ass

shadow ibex
#

lmao

manic stirrup
#

just go strength of arms

cunning sleet
#

now that's crazy frfr

manic stirrup
#

it just sucks in this expansion

fossil mantle
manic stirrup
#

used to be good

sharp wyvern
#

Dreadnaught got nerfed and the DMG was put into OP initial hit

shadow ibex
#

a whole talent point for filler

cunning sleet
#

been rocking it since quite literally level 80

shadow ibex
#

while slayer cant even spend its rage sub 35 cuz fuckin SD procs for days

latent moss
#

dn is only worse on st numberswise

#

but

#

soa is probably better

#

less overall but

#

more important damage

manic stirrup
#

same with arterial bleed in class tree

cunning sleet
#

good now i have an excuse when i deal less overall dmg

manic stirrup
#

if no mbg you should always have bleed

remote ledge
#

Any class recommandation that isn't Pala nor fdk

sharp wyvern
#

Why do you guys carre about pickrates on talents they nerfed a talent with 0 pickrate so it clearly doesn't matrer

fossil mantle
cunning sleet
#

just doing prio dmg, you wouldn't get it

nova marsh
manic stirrup
#

if you use mbg you can pick the cleave one

manic stirrup
latent moss
sharp wyvern
#

Monk

manic stirrup
sharp wyvern
#

Rogue

manic stirrup
#

dh with momentum is the best spec in the game

latent moss
#

trickster sub is peak but

nova marsh
#

LOL NO

latent moss
#

sometimes coup de grace is giga crigne

#

and u have to avoid pressing it

#

which is fucking evil

#

but it doesnt happen often

sharp wyvern
manic stirrup
#

thats how fatality is with tom

#

avoid hitting execute for a few seconds

cunning sleet
#

anything wrong with my talents atm? this is correct for fortified and tyrannical, yeessss?? :3

manic stirrup
#

thats fine yeah

cunning sleet
#

my friend tried to play momentum dh as his first class, it was funny to watch him dash into random shit and get people killed all the time

#

cool cool

remote ledge
#

I guess I could give ww a try or dh, hope they reverse the nerf a bit Im mad having to gear a new too form scratch

sharp wyvern
#

Warrior is still gonna be fine

unique hamlet
#

What nerf?

latent moss
cunning sleet
#

5 target softcap on roar

minor gust
#

how have they called warbreaker warbringer twice now

unique hamlet
#

👀

#

Fuuuuak

hazy flower
minor gust
#

please tell me more that no one at blizzard has ever played arms

sharp wyvern
#

Maybe its not a warbreaker nerf at all

restive folio
#

Blizz doesn't even know what our abilities are called man

latent moss
#

will ve obvious xdd

#

lets not bring back legion arms

manic stirrup
#

warbringer hitting more than 5 targets is literally only against demo warlocks

subtle ravine
#

I see in the update channel that Thunderous Roar and Odyn's Fury are having their softcaps reduced from 8 to 5. Is there a hidden softcap on those talents right now at 8? I'm not seeing that in the tooltip

cunning sleet
#

what's legion arms?

sharp wyvern
manic stirrup
#

yes

cunning sleet
#

I don't remember anything specifically distinctive

restive folio
#

I'd love it if they could make Colossus playable

latent moss
#

way better gameplay

manic stirrup
minor gust
manic stirrup
#

though i assume you were talking about raid

shadow ibex
#

the twice its been in patch notes

#

they called it warbringer

restive folio
#

Did they do something to it in m+ that makes it not root you in place so you die to any ground one shot aoe?

manic stirrup
#

its like a second and you can micro adjust with leap

#

i havent died to it once yet

#

worst case you can just jump out of it to avoid dying if needed

cunning sleet
#

is it better than slayer in m+?

manic stirrup
#

either is completely viable

latent moss
#

slayer fucks on st

manic stirrup
#

i havent seen/played enough to say one is better than the other

#

definitively

minor gust
#

Slayer Jugg build does indeed crank on bosses

unique hamlet
#

I like the chance on passive reaping from slayer when pressing MS or cleave

latent moss
#

ye i like it too

#

sometimes i get 19 procs

#

sometimes i get 5

#

hooooly

unique hamlet
#

Facts

tranquil sundial
#

Well.. both are v close

#

Idk how yall can say it does no ST

#

If you run Gelly's lastest build that has EP & SKS it does fine dam

#

ST

minor gust
#

Colossus is very much playable in M+

restive folio
#

I despise the way demolish just loses its target for any movement ect tiny little range and then there goes all your damage

#

Unless they fixed that since beta

tranquil sundial
#

Jump where the mobs goes and cast it mid air

#

U keep the momentum

#

Iirc

#

or a bit of it anyways

restive folio
#

Maybe I'll have to give it another try. Does wow head have a colossus build for m+? Last time I checked I think it was all slayer

tranquil sundial
#

It does

#

Top rio arms players runs this on his keys

#

Can definitely recommend that one

restive folio
#

Thank you I'll give it a try I appreciate it

tranquil sundial
tender glen
#

We have classes with uncapped aoe, and then we have warriors 😢

near pelican
#

guys

#

how much % we lose in aoe

#

with thunder nerf ?

shadow ibex
#

no more no less

fringe moon
#

you all ready for the influx of fury warriors to the channel? brace yourselves..

tender glen
#

I just want to put rend on more than five blasted targets, in a game where the average pull in a m+ is 7-10

fringe moon
#

what's funny is we're going to have tanks doing more AOE damage than us

tender glen
#

tanks can already do more aoe dmg than us in plenty of scenarios

plucky fern
#

are we SPEAR GANG now? warrior

rapid bronze
#

The influx will be into the ret and dk discords not here

sharp wyvern
#

Wcl kinda sandbagging us

tender glen
#

inb4 spear capped at 3

sharp wyvern
#

Removing rash adds from damage is gonna cause mayhem for every aoe spec

tender glen
#

tbh I hate the idea of nerfing a class to get in line with others, like ffs, just buff the others to bring them up to said class

latent moss
#

thats too far

#

maaaybe vengeance in insanely big pulls

#

like insanely

#

big

fringe moon
#

bear

tender glen
#

well geared bears wreck on damage

latent moss
#

have u seen vdh

tender glen
#

yeah they dump, but bears have that consistent dmg

sharp wyvern
#

Nerfs are a necessary evil for games

latent moss
#

yeah buff other classes and raid becomes free

teal fossil
#

And if you buff every class

#

This raid is now easy

#

Then next raid is gonna be tuned around the new power level

#

Now what

#

It’s like they never got buffed in the first place

terse plume
#

it makes sense to me to nerf outliers in the way that they are outliers for sure, but I do feel alot of the tiem blizz hammers an entire spec rather then just the part of it that is offending. Not to dissuade from good targeted nerfs to crazy outlying stuff

manic river
#

From what I've heard from friends FF XIV was more on the "let's not nerf as much but buff a bit others" camp and they seem pretty happy with class balance, IDK how they worked it out

nova marsh
#

Cuz outlier are very bad

nova marsh
terse plume
#

yep my only gripe is blizzard getting heavy handed and hurtin a spec in ways that arent related to its outlier issue

nova marsh
#

It's a lot easier to tune when evrey class has the same burst window more or less

terse plume
#

like furys second nerf killing its ST when it was in a perfectly okay space

#

and its burst aoe was the massive outlier

manic river
#

And on top of that arms have to catch the nerf too by proxy

nova marsh
#

becase SQE experenced vanilla wow level unbalance in HW and said never again

#

Meanwhile blizz just....kinda lets dumb shit slide sometimes

terse plume
#

furys stronger aoe but middling ST while arms was great ST but only decent aoe

nova marsh
#

Or when blizz has actual good overall balance like vault pre .7 and after .5 they gotta screw with it

tender glen
white hedge
#

hey stupid question
anywhere to spend valorstones?
im capped and i have literally no gear to upgrade

tender glen
#

personally I find raiding in ffxiv harder in many cases

white hedge
#

harder as it's much more strick with mechs compared to heroic on wow
you get hit by a stray mech you're mostly dead
not that you cant be rezzed but eh

tender glen
#

small raidgroup sizes also puts more responsibility on players

#

losing someone can fk over the group

white hedge
#

depending on the gear of the raid but yea
the worst being if one healer dies just before a heavy mech, you're certainly fucked
though all in all
if you had dbm /wa in ff
you're gonna sweep the game
but the fights arent geared towards that so ye

latent moss
#

me when i have to do halondrus into anduin into lords (break) into rygelon into jailer

white hedge
#

on heroic or mythic

frigid cipher
#

The difficulty isn’t really comparable. I cleared the newest savage tier with my static on day 4 and we were rank like 150 world

#

The fights just dont scale up to be as hard as the last few bosses of a mythic raid would be

neon ocean
#

is there a way for me to compare all my consumable options in one raidbots sim? instead of having to swap settings and run a new one each time

latent moss
#

prenerfs

#

demonic raid

#

halondrus biggest mid raid wall ever

unique warren
#

is playable colossus in m+

#

?

latent moss
#

yes

#

more aoe less st

unique warren
#

but, slayer is the best

#

?

#

or preference

white hedge
#

yea im very certain mythic raids beat the shit out of ff raiding
abso cancer especially when pre nerf

manic stirrup
#

havent seen one posted for this expansion tho

nova marsh
#

because wow is balancing around damage profiles and different burst windows styles and wow even has sustain classes....14 just...dosen't

#

You are right about buttons thou

#

Also wow has to balance loot....14's loot is just stat sticks

wary raft
#

is it common that haste is like stupid high value on arms atm? feels odd haste>crit

nova marsh
wary raft
#

I see

#

im still a bit surprised i have a fuck ton and it still wants me to get more

nova marsh

Arms loves haste

Do we even use Slam in M+ these days or is it literally just cleave even on ST like on boss?

nova marsh
#

...the M+ builds don't really change the ST rotation

#

Unless you have a CD available from a pack, then ig you can use it in place of slam

#

For ST that's a waste of OP stacks that could just....go to MS and give you more damage

limber prairie
#

Guys, what happen with Warbraker?

restive folio
#

okay makes sense, ty

nova marsh
#

And arms in general

limber prairie
#

indeed

#

but why ppl aren't using it in cleave fights? like bloodbound horror

minor gust
#

whats Warbreaker? I only know Warbringer

nova marsh
#

Arms is primarily an ST spec for a one

shadow ibex
#

lmao

#

what a joke i swear these devs

nova marsh
#

Arms totally brings the war

#

Need I remind you these are the same devs that brought us....17 paragraphs for a 20% slam buff

manic river
#

Wait, they changed warbreaker again?

#

Wans't it just gaining a couple yards?

minor gust
#

you mean Warbringer?

#

we dont have a spell called Warbreaker

limber prairie
nova marsh
#

He's joking

minor gust
#

fake screenshot

#

nice try

nova marsh
#

Because blizz misspelt warbreaker as warbringer

minor gust
#

looks pretty AI generated to me

nova marsh
#

Look

#

Just remeber

#

Demolish won't crit

shadow ibex
#

fuckin clowns

minor gust
#

the first time they fucked up the name of Warbreaker is w/e its funny prob a typo but this has happened multiple times now and its just like wtf is this clown show

shadow ibex
#

cant even be asked to know what our talents are lol

#

yea thats what i mean

#

its not even the first time

nova marsh
#

It's because arms is the new survival

terse plume
#

so how bad is colossus vs slayer for ST

nova marsh
#

We shall soon be forgotten by blizz and they shall only remeber one dps

nova marsh
minor gust
#

like how are you making changes to a talent you don't even know the fucking name of it

terse plume
#

yeah that is big from a performance standpoint

noble oxide
#

We do have a pvp talent called warbringer tho!

#

Maybe they meant that 😛

nova marsh
#

And it does have aoe!

manic river
nova marsh
#

yes game

#

ik noone plays arms

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

i used demolish and world boss still knocked me back

#

checkmate

manic river
#

"More AoE Nerfs on the PTR
Odyn's Fury and Thunderous Roar are now soft capped at 5 targets instead of 8 for no apparent reason."

#

Does this fucking affect everyone are you serious?

nova marsh
#

yeah

manic river
#

We cannot even use roar to affect more than 5

nova marsh
#

No reason

#

....yes we...can?

manic river
#

I mean

#

Soft cap sorry

#

Softcapped to 5 now

#

Why, why to all the specs

#

Arms was suposed to be the bleeding guy (?)

shadow ibex
#

i love arms aoe nerfs when ret and fdk exists

minor gust
#

same reason why BS was nerfed for arms

#

they dont have them coded seperatly

#

$1 company

nova marsh
#

Espically FDK

#

Like fucks sake

manic river
nova marsh
#

They got like one nerf

#

But arms isn't in F tier for once and we get nerfed

#

YAY

manic river
#

We were looking very strong in pre patch

vital trout
#

What got needed?

crystal sparrow
#

Do you guys just pop transmitter on 2 prepull?

minor gust
#

pre patch is never a metric to look at

vital trout
#

Nerfed

nova marsh
#

Can't have that

#

arms has to be garbage

zealous sphinx
#

Why would they nerf ARMS its so fucking dumb

manic river
nova marsh
#

I mean I was enjoying the major salt from fury

shadow ibex
#

fuckin clowns

#

twice calling it warbringer

nova marsh
#

Arms is going to be a dead last pick for the rest of the World soul saga at this rate

shadow ibex
#

lol you really cant make this shit up

manic river
#

Because Blizz apparently thinks that changing fury and arms is the same, literally not the case in any other class

shadow ibex
#

they should be emberassed

terse plume
#

arms is still the raid pick for ST its literally one of the top 5 specs right now for that

minor gust
#

the nerfs are whatever just like Archi said

#

incredibly minor

hazy flower
nova marsh
#

Still infuriating

vital trout
#

Where is the list of nerfs

minor gust
#

its just the nerfs make no sense because they dont actually accomplish anything

hazy flower

Blizz has been rawdogging arms since beta with the MS nerf

bc it does like 0 damage so there's no need to nerf

Any idea why blunt instruments allows use of cleave more often? I don't see anything in the tooltip that implies that

manic stirrup
#

longer haste duration = more cleaves

minor gust
#

longer iftk duration more haste more cleaves

manic stirrup
#

very slightly

restive folio
#

Ahhh okay, I understand. Thank you

#

Warbreaker is just bad in general rn I assume?

#

Even before the apparent new nerf

minor gust
#

the nerf doesnt actually do much

#

Warbringer never did dmg in the first place

restive folio
#

fair

#

Just seems very counter intuitive that warbreaker isn't a good pick even in m+

minor gust
#

it is an aoe gain to take Warbringer problem is the ST loss is so great its not worth it

#

something like a 10% ST loss for only a 2% aoe gain

#

not worth when the dungeons have a really big focus on ST

restive folio
#

SURELY this will be fixed when Warrior gets it's Ret Pally tier rework in 11.1 🙏

trim skiff

Thats the full aoe build, i prefer going fully into execute, but with cleave/collat/dreadnaught and thats the m+ build. Depends on how heavy your team is with aoe damage / bursts.

In my team I tend to just insanely top boss / prio damage without giving up all of the aoe options.

@smoky kayak are they making it so warbreaker only hits 5 targets in the future?

magic canopy

damage redueced beyond 5

#

for some reason

balmy kindle
#

PTR notes are tentative though, not sure why people are so worked updeadge

manic stirrup
#

which doesnt matter at all

fringe moon
#

damage reduced beyond 5, I get that. But are they also making the debuff only hit 5 targets like how TC does with rend

magic canopy
#

Not sure about jugg build

#

pulls are small enough that it might not matter

magic canopy
#

but hmmge

balmy kindle
#

It only affects initial hit

fresh tide

I think they have the technology to make the debuff do less damage above 5 too, but I'm not 100% on that

I'm unsure on this one, but there's a lot of updates to odds and ends spells that are just "cleanup" to the codebase that don't result in real gameplay impact. If it does impact Arms itself, we'll post about it over in #updates-midnight 👍

How you guys play without warbreaker on slayer? With sweeps it hits only 2 targets from pack.

narrow flax
#

you just cleave

#

:)

#

thats the real damage dealer in pakcs

fierce bobcat
#

I see, slayer more st or more aoe compare to colossus?

Hello, I see on the guides you can get 2 stacks of SD? Is that a talent or baseline? Cause I don’t see i get that

its baseline

fierce bobcat

Where can i find best rotation guide? Maxroll Wowhead or Icy?

Maxroll is good yep

On maxroll in slayer still have skullcringer

as it should

the talent nerfs are also for arms?

odyns for fury, roar for arms pretty sure

well all 3

not as good

gonna do tank dps

hey fellas, we want to use sweeping strikes before colossus smash for aoe right?

#

it does cleave right or am i just bein silly

edgy solstice
#

cs sweeps yes

slate briar
#

what about demolish?

thick kelp
#

in aoe you want to use demolish inside sweep

plucky fern
#

idk is it my gear lacking haste or maybe im just bad but tried a few slayer keys after playing a week of colossus and my overall dps is just dog crap

#

compared to colossus dps

slate briar
thick kelp
#

First 2 hits do

#

3rd one is aoe

slate briar
#

heard

plucky fern
#

yeah demolish always with SS up

#

after last weeks buffs, first two hits also deal significant damage

#

so sweeping them is a lot of dam

slate briar
#

it feels good as fuck to press too, so thats nice to know that i was slightly out of sync too and it will feel better lol

plucky fern
#

also fellow colossus players do you run BL or warbreaker in m+ im still not sure which i want more

balmy kindle
edgy solstice
#

blunt

#

colo with wb is griefing the key on bosses p much

slate briar
plucky fern
slate briar
#

but yeah what he said

plucky fern
slate briar
#

TLDR im just doing big aoe dam, and doing enough boss dam to make sure im not throwing

thick kelp
plucky fern
#

if it aligns like MBG+warbreaker+colo+few cleaves

#

its like 5mil dps

#

burst

slate briar
#

i also saw some guy on top warcraftlogs sending strength of arms instead of dreadnaut tho too

#

and thats helping my single target a liiiiiittle

plucky fern
#

dreadnaught is dead

slate briar
#

check logs, idk why but everyone is running dread on there lol

plucky fern
#

SoA is just so good in ST and its kinda the weak spot of colo that we need to fix to feel good

balmy kindle
balmy kindle
edgy solstice
#

i havent tried it on colo yet

plucky fern
#

i tested a lot dread vs soa, i can tell you that you will not see any difference in your aoe dps with dreadnaught

#

but you will notice ST gains from soa

turbid drum
#

how is arms doing in keys rn?

edgy solstice
#

eh

#

not great tbh but its playable

plucky fern
#

im also starting to think battlelord in m+ colossus is not dead, it might be the fix for st that i still cant find, since with 4 set MS is kinda not that bad to press

slate briar
#

btw, i know this is big throwing, but i found my single target caught a pretty thicc buff for very little aoe loss by dropping 1 point from bloodborne, and putting that in sudden death

#

really really upped my boss dam on fort keys last week

plucky fern
#

fury overrated

#

and will be dead when odyns nerf drops

balmy kindle
turbid drum
#

@plucky fern that's exactly why i'm asking lmao. I'm in the doomer camp as well

#

what keys are you pushing?

plucky fern
#

im at 9-10 rn

#

the only spec i havent beaten in overall dps yet is fking frost dk

#

its just not possible

#

they are on another level

balmy kindle
#

BoS is busted

plucky fern
#

if they are not afk

#

you cant beat fdk

edgy solstice
#

if you sort archon by dps

#

fwiw

balmy kindle
#

Chill lol, it's going to be nuked into orbit. When average ape can play bos it's going to be nuked

plucky fern
#

arms parses are heavilly brought down by people who just dont realise how to play the spec

#

mostly just fury enjoyers trying out arms

#

taking bad build from wowhead

#

and doing tank damage

edgy solstice
#

those are timed 10-13s only iirc

#

but ya

#

it's slightly skewed

#

i've put up 1.8m overalls but

turbid drum
#

it's a shame our class wasn't balanced around the fact that we have next to 0 utility compared to the top 10 specs in your list lol

edgy solstice
#

truth is fdk, ele, sin rogue can do close to 2.5

plucky fern
#

idk which ape is doing warrior balance in blizzard btw

#

fury is already bottom half of performance

#

and they nerf its only strong spot

turbid drum
#

it genuinely feels like every patch note is a hit piece lol

plucky fern
#

like odyns and roar hardcap at 5 is death sentence

turbid drum
#

i would love to see the insight on the changes

balmy kindle
#

Isn't it a soft cap

turbid drum
#

or at the very least a lack thereof

edgy solstice
#

ya it's soft

plucky fern
#

its from 8 to 5 softcap right

edgy solstice
#

ya

plucky fern
#

so like 60% nerf

balmy kindle
#

Also I doubt blizzard gonna do it

edgy solstice
#

debuff still applies to every target so not exactly

#

but still

plucky fern
#

doesnt affects arms too much luckily

balmy kindle
#

If u nerf OD and TR to 5 soft cap you will likely need to hit others

plucky fern
#

like 3-5% aoe dps loss because of roar nerf

edgy solstice
#

arms back to bottom 5 soon

#

where we belong

plucky fern
#

maybe time to move point from uproar to blademasters

edgy solstice
#

if there was a talent worth swapping sks out for, maybe

balmy kindle
#

Like ret did

edgy solstice
#

ya can't wait for them to outlaw us into a samurai spec

tbh colossus should just be arms identity after this xpac

i mean yeah i can understand the reasoning for their nerfs
'look at the numbers wow fury so strong'
when realisticly its really just ovinax holding fury's average dps that high
rash already doesnt count adds in parses

So yeahhh

#

We cant log

Yes

edgy solstice
#

sort by damage to bosses only and suddenly

#

wowza

mighty lance
#

Sheesh

balmy kindle
#

Fury ST is sadge

sharp wyvern
#

fury nerfed cause of boss designe

#

this is what happens when blizz puts adds onto every boss

balmy kindle
plucky fern
#

well im happy that fury is dead now im not forced to spec into that garbage on harder content keks

sharp wyvern
#

you still play it on worm boy

mighty lance
#

Its so stupid because M+ is the content a lot of People play for

#

And warrior just isnt that good, unless it does crazy damage and survives

#

Now we have a dps spec and a survive spec

balmy kindle
#

Arms still decent tho on m+ and our shockwave deals with orbs quite well ?

sharp wyvern
#

arms on fortified is better than fury rn

edgy solstice
#

which it doesnt

plucky fern
#

this expansion really feels like blizzard ignoring m+ completely
all the changes to classes are centered around raid

mighty lance
#

Yes but Arms dies

plucky fern
#

and m+ gearing is just dead

mighty lance
#

We need ignore pain back on Arms, the old fashioned way

edgy solstice
#

dks got like 2 mil more hp than us. rets are literally invincible

balmy kindle
#

Idk I find myself more vulnerable taking threat as fury

plucky fern
#

yeah survivability in higher keys is the problem for arms

sharp wyvern
plucky fern
#

current IP doesnt help at all, its like 500k shield per cast

balmy kindle
plucky fern
#

thinking about running more vers

#

slight dps loss but maybe i can live in boralus critcake

edgy solstice
#

crit vers is the play for colo anyway

balmy kindle
#

Would imagine soB will get more nerfs tho keks , if warriors cant survive, that's alot of specs that probably cant

#

Still working towards 4-5 for me so ymmv

plucky fern
edgy solstice
#

mast vs vers is almost identical so ya, i lean vers whenever possible

#
  • helps if you get ansurek trink
plucky fern
#

also im not ready to play with no haste, im currently at like 12% unbuffed and i can feel it, in a bad way

#

its way too slow and rage starving in st kicks in

#

maybe still want like 15% for comfortable gameplay idk

balmy kindle
#

15-20 feels like the sweet spot

sharp wyvern
#

on colossus even 30% feels ragestarved outside of IFTK

plucky fern
#

nah when i was running 20% before recrafting my gear to crit it was 0 rage problems

#

but it also was last week with haste affix

#

so maybe thats why

sharp wyvern
#

its crazy how not running SD can change that

plucky fern
#

well SD with no haste is a dead talent

balmy kindle
#

Kind of funny how slayer is always rage capped while Colo can actually run out of rage deadge

#

When I play slayer I can just turn my brain off from the red bar

plucky fern
#

yeah sadly we have to deal with ragestarving

#

because its simply more dps to do so

#

sadge

balmy kindle
#

Time to complain to blizzard like mages dkeks

sharp wyvern
#

i swear this is because people complained about having to much rage in DF

edgy solstice
#

hot take maybe but what's the point of a rage bar if it's perma full. idm having to manage rage

sharp wyvern
#

waiting for resourse isnt managing rage

plucky fern
#

their intentions were correct, cosmetic ragebar is bad

sharp wyvern
#

its being afk

plucky fern
#

implementation is horrible

#

classic blizzard case

#

great ideas, bad implementation

edgy solstice
#

just swap fatality with focused rage

#

ez

balmy kindle
quasi torrent
#

curious

plucky fern
#

idk maybe if they add some rage generation in colossus hero tree it could be fine, yeah

#

slayer doesnt have rage issues its only colo

sharp wyvern
#

does arms slayer outperform colossus in m+ ?

plucky fern
#

no

quasi torrent
#

Depends on what you wanna do

plucky fern
#

slayer sucks

quasi torrent
#

If your group pipes aoe you should be slayer

plucky fern
#

its aoe is way lower and its even MORE squishy

#

i have no idea how to live keys as slayer arms

quasi torrent
#

of your group pipes st you should be colossussy

balmy kindle
edgy solstice
#

i just dont think the rage gen is that big of an issue anyway. there's occasional moments of it but it's not bad enough to take the actual decent rage gen talent we already have, bloodsurge

sharp wyvern
#

spell reflect stonks

plucky fern
#

colo at least has some damage reduction going on, and a defensive talent option

quasi torrent
#

(this is good)

balmy kindle
#

Colo also has lower cd on shockwave

plucky fern
#

im running 3sec shockwave tho

edgy solstice
#

nah knockup swave is based

balmy kindle
#

Not useful maybe, but I do find it very good for hitting orbs

edgy solstice
#

i dont gotta worry about pugs putting my shit on dr 5 secs into the pull

balmy kindle
#

Like pug apes don't do the mechanics

plucky fern
#

my tank really loves the 3s shockwave when things get real bad

#

but yeah for pugging probably knock is better

#

in organized group im totally sold on the longer stun option

visual fern
edgy solstice
#

rend*

visual fern
#

I said what I said

edgy solstice
#

the pinnacle of arms design. initial rend hitting harder than slam for almost a whole expansion

balmy kindle
#

There's warriors out there that don't even put shockwave on hotbar tho keks

#

Be making us look bad for sure

plucky fern
#

shockwave and spellreflect is whats keeping me alive in those keys for sure

#

but yeah i can see that most warriors never use those and then our class looks horrible

#

because of those dummies

edgy solstice
#

those are all furrys tho

plucky fern
#

true

balmy kindle
plucky fern
#

im dying inside every time i cast slam

balmy kindle
#

I only cast slam to fish for tact procs

#

Thankfully we usually don't need to press slam for extended periods deadge

plucky fern
#

well yeah in keys slam doesnt happen often so im cool

#

its more of a problem in raids

edgy solstice
#

not on my bars at all for keys

plucky fern
#

sometimes 3 slams in a row

mighty lance
#

Imagin Arms would have the mountain thane tree

With the 8 percent DR

steep osprey
#

Is arms 4p bad too

edgy solstice
#

ya

plucky fern
#

colos arms uses tier the best of all specs btw

#

in aoe its kinda good, 20% cleave damage and crit strike

balmy kindle

For real can't wait for my 4 set , only 2 now

Is arms the way to go now for both m+ and raid?

#

In terms of performing the best

edgy solstice
#

arms on most bosses yeah

scarlet spade
#

colos arms yeah

pine goblet
#

Mmh what about m+?

plucky fern
#

slayer arms for raid, colo for m+

scarlet spade
#

i see, in raid fury m+ arms play

edgy solstice
#

fury does more rn but might change when OF nerf comes in

#

for keys

pine goblet
#

Ahh okey

#

I just think arms feels clonky

umbral ether
#

I may switch, I find the aoe rotation clunky in keys but atleast it will be easier on my soreness playing arms

soft dew
#

With the changes to boss logs in the raid and the nerfs fury is going to go down in rankings

plucky fern
#

colossus definetly needs time to get used to

#

clunky and a button bloat is there

#

but its most damage a class can do

#

so deal with that

#

(in keys)

umbral ether
#

There’s like a 7 button rotation to set up your aoe

dawn loom
#

Hey joined the conversation at the perfect time was about to ask the similar esc questions. So new player if I care mostly for performing well in raid and toping the meter over my irl friends I would want to go Arms correct ? If I understand everything correctly and M+ refers to the keys correct not mythic raiding

soft dew
#

You would want to play ret or enhance

balmy kindle
plucky fern
#

yes m+ is keys

dawn loom
#

Thank you greatly. For the info 🙂

vital zinc
#

Does roar not benefit from wb first on ST? trying to understand the rotation

plucky compass
#

what is the colossus spec for M+ is it just the wowhead spec that lists it as spikey dps?
