yes
next you'll tell me pugs are healthy for you
i would never do that
Warrior is definetly overtuned, good job Blizz

TIL im out of touch
F tier list
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
dont nerf enha
played with a 619 friend
5mil every pack
xd
9 nw
Nerf ele instead
no one is playing arms
arms is wrong
playing with a ret that has 30s CDs
while you can only use them every 2nd or 3rd pull is cringe af
WEll I've been wrong for several years now
So fuck it we ball
This is facts, you can do like 9s on every key and be top 20 arms warrior in the world on raider.io rn
sure but fury can pad wayy too much.
now i know what i will do tomorrow
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
i mean there are alot of fury onetricks
not even
Arms is a trash tier M+ spec and fury is a favorite
its just not popular
even when arms is better there are a shit ton of fury warriors
This is without a grim batol key 
true
Of it being absoutle dog water
and he is fucking cracked
fury is just giga popular

well
what server
i hope my demolish starts critting
i suggest
apart from demolish, how can you pad with roar lol. Its a dot mate. I played fury in a few keys and on some adds you can just pop cds and top everyone
trying his builds
ok nvm its 120th now
what adds
i guess people started pl,aying arms
How big is the roar nerf? 5 targets max seems kinda criminal imo
I find arms the most fun to play in keys when you just lean into the execute and boss damage
Still need big ST for tyrannical bosses
a very big part of our aoe is roar
do we know what "reduced damage beyond 5 targets" means
Plus cleave and the likes can carry well enough for like 3.5-4m cds on trash
Sad, time to start dooming I guess
like how much less is it
same as every other softcap
1st boss in Ara Kara, a lot of small mobs in Siege, webs in COT last boss. A lot of things frankly
I havent even specced into colossus
gellys colossus looks interesting but no merciless bonegrinder is eeeeeeeeeeeee
ngl I havent done key in arms in tww
well u need more than 5 targets for it to matter
idk i like that talent a lot
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
only fury/prot
good
its never been this clunky
u know the curse i was playing a bit
with tom/blunt instruments
arms always felt kinda wack on lower keys for me
its fun when shit lives long and you reapply bleeds perma
also wb isnt much worse anymore
Why do you say it's clunky? What parts?
blunt instruments
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
why is that clunky?
I guess we will be playing arms slayer without wb in keys now? Maybe not even going for roar build
Because it just....shouldn't?
cause idont
And feels actually awful\
want to spend half of my sweeping strikes window
nah, roar will still be played. Spear is too shit
in fucking bladestorm
We didn’t really play WB anyway fwiw
as colossus u do
Been loving the Colo wb no juggernaut buikds
No juggernaut D:
Been playing slayer, swapped to Colo for a key and it felt weird af. Lol
17 button bleed spec🔥🔥
its very smooth i played it in an 8 need to do something higher honestly
nw
i griefed that edit so hard
Chcoo what do you think of the nerfs
griefing harder then I grief keys
what about crit thinking no jugg
was thinking about it for low keys
ptr datamining means fuckall to me
dropping jugg for deft experience
troar odyns softcapped
to 5
"warbringer" too
they prob meant warbreaker
the initial damage or all of it
all
they clearly did
for roar
no one knows
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
without some sort of compensation
it will
but again its ptr datamining
Because blizz hates us so much
They never backed on ptr nerfs tho?
idgaf tbh
It’s not ptr datamining they posted patch notes
i only saw datamining posted
etc
i love that they still mistake warbringer and warbreaker
assa
i fuckin love it
must’ve missed it
Tf even is warbringer
I’m rerolling ret because it’s a well designed spec and has nice visuals
charge talent
pvp talent
in pvp
LMAO
cause warr probably has only 1 dev and the guy probably doesnt even play wow
thinking this not on tyrannical
He plays ret
not if you aren't doing 10s
keys*
Also warbringer rocked for a while in PvP we called winbringer
Since max vault is 10 now tyran is always up
i only have 1 (untimed) 10 rn so i'm still working my way up
I remember in SL killing rogues with avatar charge while talented into warbringer
Since thats what blizz balance for
REMOVE FINISHING BLOWS
REMOVE FINISHING BLOWS
REMOVE FINISHING BLOWS
REMOVE FINISHING BLOWS
REMOVE FINISHING BLOWS
PUT IT BACK ON SOA
is that the stupid ass talent above dn
LEGIT 0 PICKRATE
lmao

its almost Seethe levels of shit
8 RAGE
i fucking love em man
iosn't dreadnaught better for aoe?
a whole talent point that only works sub 35%
dreadnaught is ass
lmao
just go strength of arms
now that's crazy frfr
it just sucks in this expansion
fatality, battlelord,bloodsurge,storm of swords
used to be good
Dreadnaught got nerfed and the DMG was put into OP initial hit
a whole talent point for filler
been rocking it since quite literally level 80
while slayer cant even spend its rage sub 35 cuz fuckin SD procs for days
dn is only worse on st numberswise
but
soa is probably better
less overall but
more important damage
same with arterial bleed in class tree
good now i have an excuse when i deal less overall dmg
if no mbg you should always have bleed
Any class recommandation that isn't Pala nor fdk
Why do you guys carre about pickrates on talents they nerfed a talent with 0 pickrate so it clearly doesn't matrer
ive actually been using it in keys and its not bad at all
just doing prio dmg, you wouldn't get it
good sir you have more rage then finishing blows provides in an entire fight
if you use mbg you can pick the cleave one
yeah its good
dh idk
Monk
ww is very fun imo
Rogue
dh with momentum is the best spec in the game
trickster sub is peak but
LOL NO
sometimes coup de grace is giga crigne
and u have to avoid pressing it
which is fucking evil
but it doesnt happen often
Not for everyone else who has to dodge the mechanic thats on you while you try to keep it up
anything wrong with my talents atm? this is correct for fortified and tyrannical, yeessss?? :3
thats fine yeah
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
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
Warrior is still gonna be fine
What nerf?
troar odyns and wb softcapped to 5
5 target softcap on roar
how have they called warbreaker warbringer twice now

please tell me more that no one at blizzard has ever played arms
Maybe its not a warbreaker nerf at all
Blizz doesn't even know what our abilities are called man
just play the spec
will ve obvious xdd
lets not bring back legion arms
warbringer hitting more than 5 targets is literally only against demo warlocks
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
what's legion arms?
Hard to remember a talent that doesn't get picked
yes
yes
I don't remember anything specifically distinctive
I'd love it if they could make Colossus playable
way better gameplay
its good in m+
its just another layer of dogshit added to the pile
though i assume you were talking about raid
yes
the twice its been in patch notes
they called it warbringer
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?
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
is it better than slayer in m+?
either is completely viable
slayer fucks on st
Slayer Jugg build does indeed crank on bosses
I like the chance on passive reaping from slayer when pressing MS or cleave
Facts
Its better in m+
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
Colossus is very much playable in M+
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
Jump where the mobs goes and cast it mid air
U keep the momentum
Iirc
or a bit of it anyways
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
It does
Top rio arms players runs this on his keys
Can definitely recommend that one
Thank you I'll give it a try I appreciate it
https://raider.io/characters/eu/tarren-mill/Gellyfisk?season=season-tww-1
This guy if you wanna know 😄
We have classes with uncapped aoe, and then we have warriors 😢
5 only
no more no less
you all ready for the influx of fury warriors to the channel? brace yourselves..
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
what's funny is we're going to have tanks doing more AOE damage than us
tanks can already do more aoe dmg than us in plenty of scenarios
are we SPEAR GANG now? 
The influx will be into the ret and dk discords not here
Wcl kinda sandbagging us
inb4 spear capped at 3
Removing rash adds from damage is gonna cause mayhem for every aoe spec
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
nah
thats too far
maaaybe vengeance in insanely big pulls
like insanely
big
bear
well geared bears wreck on damage
have u seen vdh
yeah they dump, but bears have that consistent dmg
I never understood this take
Having infinite power creep cause you don't want to nerf certain outliers is not a good thing for the long term
Nerfs are a necessary evil for games
yeah buff other classes and raid becomes free
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
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
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
It's why I hate it when people say "WHY NERF WHEN IT'S PVE"
Cuz outlier are very bad
Because ffxiv is a much simplier and more homogized game overall then wow
yep my only gripe is blizzard getting heavy handed and hurtin a spec in ways that arent related to its outlier issue
It's a lot easier to tune when evrey class has the same burst window more or less
like furys second nerf killing its ST when it was in a perfectly okay space
and its burst aoe was the massive outlier
And on top of that arms have to catch the nerf too by proxy
becase SQE experenced vanilla wow level unbalance in HW and said never again
Meanwhile blizz just....kinda lets dumb shit slide sometimes
yeah if they had just tamped down furys burst aoe and left everything else alone specs would have been in the best balanced state theyve been in years
furys stronger aoe but middling ST while arms was great ST but only decent aoe
Or when blizz has actual good overall balance like vault pre .7 and after .5 they gotta screw with it
Except it's really not, they press just as many buttons as we do, and raid fights still have all sorts of absurd difficult to plan around mechanics. It's just a different interface and visual style
hey stupid question
anywhere to spend valorstones?
im capped and i have literally no gear to upgrade
personally I find raiding in ffxiv harder in many cases
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
small raidgroup sizes also puts more responsibility on players
losing someone can fk over the group
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
i dont recall ffxiv having sepulcher 
me when i have to do halondrus into anduin into lords (break) into rygelon into jailer
on heroic or mythic
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
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
mythic
prenerfs
demonic raid
halondrus biggest mid raid wall ever
yea im very certain mythic raids beat the shit out of ff raiding
abso cancer especially when pre nerf
there was a bigass thing u could put in in dragonflight
havent seen one posted for this expansion tho
yes it is
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
is it common that haste is like stupid high value on arms atm? feels odd haste>crit
It's normal for early xpack gearing
Arms loves haste

Thanks!
Do we even use Slam in M+ these days or is it literally just cleave even on ST like on boss?
...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
Guys, what happen with Warbraker?
okay makes sense, ty
Blizz said they hate fun
And arms in general
whats Warbreaker? I only know Warbringer
Arms is primarily an ST spec for a one
Arms totally brings the war
Need I remind you these are the same devs that brought us....17 paragraphs for a 20% slam buff
He's joking
Because blizz misspelt warbreaker as warbringer
looks pretty AI generated to me
fuckin clowns
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
cant even be asked to know what our talents are lol
yea thats what i mean
its not even the first time
It's because arms is the new survival
so how bad is colossus vs slayer for ST
We shall soon be forgotten by blizz and they shall only remeber one dps
8%. P big tbh
like how are you making changes to a talent you don't even know the fucking name of it
yeah that is big from a performance standpoint
And it does have aoe!
For the first Mythic week of Neru'bar Palace, we've made a graphical representation of class DPS rankings and their respective class population size! Never underestimate the power of good utility and situational damage profiles!
#warcraft #warwithin
https://www.wowhead.com/news/mythic-nerub-ar-palace-dps-rankings-mythic-opening-week-346826?ut...
if only but we all know thats not true
"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?
yeah
We cannot even use roar to affect more than 5
I mean
Soft cap sorry
Softcapped to 5 now
Why, why to all the specs
Arms was suposed to be the bleeding guy (?)
i love arms aoe nerfs when ret and fdk exists
same reason why BS was nerfed for arms
they dont have them coded seperatly
$1 company
I know dude, ret aoe is stupid but no complains from the team
We were looking very strong in pre patch
What got needed?
Do you guys just pop transmitter on 2 prepull?
pre patch is never a metric to look at
Nerfed
Why would they nerf ARMS its so fucking dumb
Ofc but I mean that at the very start of the expansion our metrics were really good
I mean I was enjoying the major salt from fury
Arms is going to be a dead last pick for the rest of the World soul saga at this rate
lol you really cant make this shit up
Because Blizz apparently thinks that changing fury and arms is the same, literally not the case in any other class
they should be emberassed
arms is still the raid pick for ST its literally one of the top 5 specs right now for that
is warbringer not pvp talent? 
Still infuriating
Where is the list of nerfs
its just the nerfs make no sense because they dont actually accomplish anything
they must've confused those
Blizz has been rawdogging arms since beta with the MS nerf
bc it does like 0 damage so there's no need to nerf
Today in our raid grup however a fury was almost getting at my lvl, IDK what exactly I do wrong
nah because this isnt the first time they have called Warbreaker Warbringer. They genuinly just don't know anything about warrior
Granted I'm not a very pro arms player
+nerf shadowpriest
nerf frost dk
nerf Fire mage
Nerf anyone but the warriors tryin to get by lol
thats the beauty
just straight up ignorance
not knowing
mixing it up once is funny and whatever mistakes happen
mixing it up multiple times now is just straight up clowns
bring back sl warbreaker
shit used to fuck
that + just cba to seperate arms and fury bladestorm
idk they just dont have a defensible position
but u cant take them to task on this stuff
$1 company
there we go better name
Any idea why blunt instruments allows use of cleave more often? I don't see anything in the tooltip that implies that
longer haste duration = more cleaves
longer iftk duration more haste more cleaves
very slightly
Ahhh okay, I understand. Thank you
Warbreaker is just bad in general rn I assume?
Even before the apparent new nerf
fair
Just seems very counter intuitive that warbreaker isn't a good pick even in m+
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
SURELY this will be fixed when Warrior gets it's Ret Pally tier rework in 11.1 🙏
Ayo, how do you guys feel in m+ currently? I've been meta-whoring fury lately, but I would like to try Arms again

If you enjoy hitting cleave 1000 times per dungeon boy do I have good news for you
I enjoy big dam and topping the meters
Frost DK server is that way ----->
cleave fucks 
Already got my Frost DK alt lined up lmao
But will always main Warrior, fuck other classes are so boring in comparison
hey guys. are these talent good ?
lol
builds in here if you want them https://discord.com/channels/148872210742771712/1237303208754286715
ty
where did you find this build
I took it from a warrior on raider io lol
hooooly new build? (no its awful)
Have these nerfs been implemented yet?
Arcane 
Yeah that's what I do
Knowing blizzard they will likely chop BOS soon 
Its fucking insane arms are copping this TR nerf
no
you must have cleave
sudden death is beans
exhilerating blows is beans
still need more cleave
I switched to this
thats good
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.
Can you cancel Demolish cast?
noice
I had 353 hits but I don't run the cleave-enhancing over the iss & bleed enhancing talents
I simmed 'em and it's minimal difference whether it's ST or aoe for either
thats fine but cleave is still too low
look at your damage breakdown on your sim
OR bleeds too high
ms is too high in comparison to cleave
Cleave is 3rd if you don't count the dots
my bleeds always 10% each
Not when it's stonevault and there are frequently packs of 3-4 mobs
I cleave as much as I can with my 10% haste lol
i want more crit
I have almost 30% crit
can I please have my some bloody haste
AND NO THAT DOSEN'T MEAN GIVE ME ANOTHER WEAPON GAME
lmao yeaaaah
i crafted haste mast cuz i thought i would play fury so my crit is lacking
but i decided to just full ssend arms
sure would be nice if this was something like a pair of boots or cloak 
i have 20007 haste buffed
The literal only weapon type I haven't looted is a pole arm
I'm gonna regret saying that
thinking about running this for M+
after all the fury nerfs might need to get used to it
prob IP angle over deep
evil for slayer
should play jugg as slayer for sure
as colossu thats good
@smoky kayak are they making it so warbreaker only hits 5 targets in the future?
PTR notes are tentative though, not sure why people are so worked up
which doesnt matter at all
damage reduced beyond 5, I get that. But are they also making the debuff only hit 5 targets like how TC does with rend
no
but hmmge
Debuff will still hit all
It only affects initial hit
I think they have the technology to make the debuff do less damage above 5 too, but I'm not 100% on that
as slayer its probably the best build
soft cap, not hard cap
what about the 30% damage debuff on them? will that be uncapped?
the debuff is not affected by soft cap
if it hits them, they get the debuff, the size of the debuff does not change
Is there a way to sim single target without execute phase included? I'm trying to practice the normal rotation on a dummy and compare to sims and I'm trying to work out if I'm just bad or if execute is really that valuable
If they hard cap wb they will need to hard cap many more abilities lol 
Whats Warbreaker I only know Warbringer
warbreaker? never heard of her
sim target dummy
Remove hard caps
I want evrey spec to be able to pull an entire dungeon
I want to see 100 million dps
Does gelly Twitch or YouTube ?
You are so smart
what is this?
Lost roll on Mythic Sikran neck its all ogre
Play unholy DK and enjoy the aoe dps ( you need more globals though)
mmm saving Mad Queen's Mandate for the dps boost phase on Mists 
big
it's like what Demolish was supposed to do
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 👍
grimmy b is a slayer key unforch
conquered hc today mates
https://i.imgur.com/wAXerhn.png
And what about Paladin Nerfs? They still are insane ST and MT monsters with just one spec.
do we still want double duskthread or dawnthread wrist/cloak?
Not the pala discord
I just wanna complain a bit
Imagine thinking blizz won't chop Ret and frost 
I feel them, this is the guy sat in the corner who keep is getting punched
🧑🍳
Hey fam in ST are you holding sks for cs windows
Or just ripping
Copy madlads ty
trying to play arms and every time i gotta hit skullsplitter i wanna split my head open irl
How you guys play without warbreaker on slayer? With sweeps it hits only 2 targets from pack.
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
Where can i find best rotation guide? Maxroll Wowhead or Icy?
Maxroll is good yep
as it should

alright thx
Nobody is even using warbreaker and they still nerf it
Cool
Anyone playing arms in high keys 10+ that can link me their damage breakdown just to see how I comapre
don't want anyone getting any ideas, ya know?
depends on build
You can prolly find logs for this but for me its mostly cleave, reap, execute, ms
+11 Ara-Kara
Tnx, my roar is not close to that dmg
How does colossus feel in m+? I am afraid of demolish missing with so much movement
takes a little to get used to but i prefer for the bigger pull dungeons
i run slayer jugg for the dungeons tanks never double pull much in
grimmy b, cot
siege nw ara-ara sv are colossus keys for sure
not as good
but it's not bad. if colossal might drops before pulling boss tho, gl
gonna do tank dps
I only used it in m0
Legit for nw
Port out go bi slayer
For last 2 bosses

hey fellas, we want to use sweeping strikes before colossus smash for aoe right?
it does cleave right or am i just bein silly
cs sweeps yes
what about demolish?
in aoe you want to use demolish inside sweep
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
it does cleave with sweep? good to know
heard
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
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
also fellow colossus players do you run BL or warbreaker in m+ im still not sure which i want more
Think Colo benefits from having a ton of haste and crit since it directly affects demo CD
ive been taking warbreaker, just seems like its better for big cleave
droptimizer tells me to wear crit mastery so my haste is like 14% rn
but yeah what he said
yeah im losing ST dps, but damn sometimes in aoe warbreaker is VERY strong
TLDR im just doing big aoe dam, and doing enough boss dam to make sure im not throwing
Yeah Colossus is big hater of haste, slayer is the opposite
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
yeah im running that as well
dreadnaught is dead
check logs, idk why but everyone is running dread on there lol
SoA is just so good in ST and its kinda the weak spot of colo that we need to fix to feel good
Damn maybe it's my gear 
This discord actually made me realise Dreadnaught is shit and never worth taking, SoA is just so good
i havent tried it on colo yet
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
how is arms doing in keys rn?
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
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
tough, but honestly i think colo arms is the strongest spec for dps warrior in keys right now
fury overrated
and will be dead when odyns nerf drops

To me arms is great but we do have very fierce competition
@plucky fern that's exactly why i'm asking lmao. I'm in the doomer camp as well
what keys are you pushing?
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
BoS is busted
Chill lol, it's going to be nuked into orbit. When average ape can play bos it's going to be nuked
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
those are timed 10-13s only iirc
but ya
it's slightly skewed
i've put up 1.8m overalls but
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
truth is fdk, ele, sin rogue can do close to 2.5
idk which ape is doing warrior balance in blizzard btw
fury is already bottom half of performance
and they nerf its only strong spot
it genuinely feels like every patch note is a hit piece lol
like odyns and roar hardcap at 5 is death sentence
i would love to see the insight on the changes
Isn't it a soft cap
or at the very least a lack thereof
ya it's soft
its from 8 to 5 softcap right
ya
so like 60% nerf
Also I doubt blizzard gonna do it
doesnt affects arms too much luckily
If u nerf OD and TR to 5 soft cap you will likely need to hit others
like 3-5% aoe dps loss because of roar nerf
maybe time to move point from uproar to blademasters
if there was a talent worth swapping sks out for, maybe
Well maybe then we get a remake 
Like ret did
ya can't wait for them to outlaw us into a samurai spec
tbh colossus should just be arms identity after this xpac
solution fell right into their lap
Really?
remove adds from parses and its bottom 5 dps
it's pad ethical damage
Kind of like frost mage in BFA zul fight 
Why? Add dps matters a lot
you men sub rogues?
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
Warcraftlogs even removed the adds from rankings
Ah yes I remember that during RWF with the shuriken storm shenanigans
Which is stupid
Yes
Sheesh
Fury ST is 
fury nerfed cause of boss designe
this is what happens when blizz puts adds onto every boss
Partly because fury doesn't need much globals to setup aoe, your average monkey can press OD BS
well im happy that fury is dead now im not forced to spec into that garbage on harder content 
Me too.
you still play it on worm boy
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
Arms still decent tho on m+ and our shockwave deals with orbs quite well ?
arms on fortified is better than fury rn
which it doesnt
this expansion really feels like blizzard ignoring m+ completely
all the changes to classes are centered around raid
Yes but Arms dies
and m+ gearing is just dead
We need ignore pain back on Arms, the old fashioned way
dks got like 2 mil more hp than us. rets are literally invincible
Idk I find myself more vulnerable taking threat as fury
yeah survivability in higher keys is the problem for arms
this is why you can use 2 health pots now
current IP doesnt help at all, its like 500k shield per cast
True my DK at 590 has 4.5m hp while my warriors at the same on 608
crit vers is the play for colo anyway
Would imagine soB will get more nerfs tho
, if warriors cant survive, that's alot of specs that probably cant
Still working towards 4-5 for me so ymmv
for pure dps its crit mastery (at least what sim tells me to do right now), but yeah i was thinking crit vers is the play
mast vs vers is almost identical so ya, i lean vers whenever possible
- helps if you get ansurek trink
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
15-20 feels like the sweet spot
on colossus even 30% feels ragestarved outside of IFTK
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
its crazy how not running SD can change that
well SD with no haste is a dead talent
Kind of funny how slayer is always rage capped while Colo can actually run out of rage 
When I play slayer I can just turn my brain off from the red bar
yeah sadly we have to deal with ragestarving
because its simply more dps to do so
sadge
Time to complain to blizzard like mages d
i swear this is because people complained about having to much rage in DF
hot take maybe but what's the point of a rage bar if it's perma full. idm having to manage rage
waiting for resourse isnt managing rage
their intentions were correct, cosmetic ragebar is bad
its being afk
You know i never liked FR but this is pretty good idea
And yet its even more impossible to run out of rage on the good hero talent
curious
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
does arms slayer outperform colossus in m+ ?
no
Depends on what you wanna do
slayer sucks
If your group pipes aoe you should be slayer
its aoe is way lower and its even MORE squishy
i have no idea how to live keys as slayer arms
of your group pipes st you should be colossussy
At higher keys it's pretty much die by sword or die 
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
spell reflect stonks
colo at least has some damage reduction going on, and a defensive talent option
it really isnt
oh no i dont get to press a slam waawaa wee woo
(this is good)
Colo also has lower cd on shockwave
im running 3sec shockwave tho
nah knockup swave is based
Not useful maybe, but I do find it very good for hitting orbs
i dont gotta worry about pugs putting my shit on dr 5 secs into the pull
Like pug apes don't do the mechanics
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
When can I replace slam w/ clap
rend*
I said what I said
the pinnacle of arms design. initial rend hitting harder than slam for almost a whole expansion
There's warriors out there that don't even put shockwave on hotbar tho 
Be making us look bad for sure
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
those are all furrys tho
true
Bingo, not everyone is crit regen 
good times

im dying inside every time i cast slam
I only cast slam to fish for tact procs
Thankfully we usually don't need to press slam for extended periods 
well yeah in keys slam doesnt happen often so im cool
its more of a problem in raids
not on my bars at all for keys
Is arms 4p bad too
ya
colos arms uses tier the best of all specs btw
in aoe its kinda good, 20% cleave damage and crit strike
For real can't wait for my 4 set , only 2 now
arms on most bosses yeah
colos arms yeah
Mmh what about m+?
slayer arms for raid, colo for m+
i see, in raid fury m+ arms play
I may switch, I find the aoe rotation clunky in keys but atleast it will be easier on my soreness playing arms
With the changes to boss logs in the raid and the nerfs fury is going to go down in rankings
Hahahah
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)
There’s like a 7 button rotation to set up your aoe
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
You would want to play ret or enhance
Cant be worse than unholy DK, actually need to line up globals. It fucks hard tho on big pulls
slayer arms in raid is strong and pretty easy
yes m+ is keys
Thank you greatly. For the info 🙂
Does roar not benefit from wb first on ST? trying to understand the rotation
what is the colossus spec for M+ is it just the wowhead spec that lists it as spikey dps?
I’m trying to make an enhance but started with a warrior and he’s 610 now so I feel invested.
