that's not how castsequence macros work, it will go through the sequence then reset

#

so it'll cast TC, then Slam, then reset to TC; after 5s it will reset to TC regardless

#

there's no good way to do what you want to, although that's also not a great macro anyway since you primarily use Slam in ST and only use TC in MT

Yeah pretty much

Without adding to the panic from wowhead post, is the dooming of DPS warriors warranted currently? do we really have something to worry about our performance?

maybe theyll give us some utility on that PTR to go with the nerfs

let me remove enrages with a soothing shout

yeh the utility will be you getting your talent point back as they moved shockwave into an un-takeable slot again yep

The funniest part about this is that its so true. Meteoroligists, on the whole, have about a good a chance at being right about weather as a coin.

nova marsh
#

Blizzard is just taking the piss at this point

#

The one reset day I get off and wow isn't even up for all of it lmao

fresh spire
#

usa moment

#

never expect to log in, sleep in

#

have a good night rest 🛌

shadow ibex
#

We need battlelord buffs

#

I hate colossus ravager

fresh spire
#

its usuable in colossos when no execute

#

but st sucks ass

nova marsh
#

Maybe blizz is preparing a warrior rework at the 11th hour copium

burnt gust
#

fury now a heal spec

#

self heals only though

"we have removed the abillity for adds to be tracked ingames for all logs" -blizzard 2024

#

Hey we are in the top 10 at least...

nova marsh
#

For now

frosty pike
#

it wouldn't be a blizzard tier if mages didn't have all three specs in S++

nova marsh
#

Lmao look at fire dude

#

In pvp it's apparently the worst spec in t he game

#

and considered trolling to play it

vast cedar
#

Could someone with orange parses talk about the nuances of their execute phase... im still confused whether i stack E'sP and Mart Prow stacks for MS or im spamming execute

nova marsh
#

And yeah it's down bad too

half vine
# frosty pike let me remove enrages with a soothing shout

Add the denrage shout like you said, and add 1 shout to rule them all - put the PvP battlefield Commander in our Class Tree. Buff the shouts.

Then give us a whole new "lust", Battle Shout can be activated in combat to give % Dmg increase for 30secs.

nova marsh

#

hmm

nova marsh
#

Just spam exe till rend runs out, then MS. with 4pc, spam exe until you have 2x EP and 2x 4pc

Just tell them you are willing to intervene the tank.

nova marsh
#

pugs ALWAYS want ranged over meele. As much as humanly possible.

frosty pike
#

not being ranged and also prot warriors being meta does not help DPS warriors at all right now

🤣🤣

charred brook
#

So what rotation do you guys use in execute phase

#

do you always go for 2x EP 2x Tier buff

#

before you MS

#

cause ive been doing like Exe-op-exe-op-MS

#

and it feels like too much

half vine
charred brook
#

okay so p much what i was doing

#

go for 2x of both buffs

teal fossil
#

Good luck balancing the spec

#

We will do current fury levels of st

#

Just because we provide a unique mini lust

half vine
#

mages bring lust - none of their specs are balanced around bringing that

#

shamans bring lust - their 2 dps specs are cooking

#

BM is just a dumpster fire at the moment

teal fossil
#

Lust is a generic utility

frosty pike
#

i feel like thats where hero specs stepping in would have been appropriate too. some hero specs play wildly different from one another, others have just boiled down to "this one does more than that one"

teal fossil
#

What you suggested is something completely unique specially in raid

#

If you just suggest lust then sure whatever

half vine
#

priests are balanced around PI then?

teal fossil
#

Yes

#

And pi is st

neon niche
teal fossil
#

You suggested it as if it’s aoe

gaunt owl
#

Everybody should protest by not pushing Stormbolt during Bladestorm

teal fossil
#

They also had to nerf pi

#

Which hurt spriest themselves a lot

nova marsh
#

I mean PI was ridicious in Shadowlands

gaunt owl
#

there was an easy fix of making PI a self buff only

nova marsh
#

Remove PI

#

Trash spell

#

Just give priests another CD

teal fossil
finite mantle
#

pi is good

shadow ibex
#

Delete aug

nova marsh
#

Delete all support

#

Give warrior it's own Skyfury

teal fossil
#

We technically got it

#

We just need more

half vine
#

deleting all externals could make balancing easier

teal fossil
#

War machine and swift strikes is essentially skyfury

#

Then you get tuned around it

nova marsh
#

I think externals just need to....not be broken

#

Like aug (in more ways then one) and PI

gaunt owl
#

its a really hard task to balance them

#

make everything broken

#

or dont do them

teal fossil
#

Well Aug buff is already weaker than just taking another dps

nova marsh
#

Make execute one shot anything below 20% hp

#

including bosses

gaunt owl
#

make Mortal Combo a thing again !

frosty pike
nova marsh
gaunt owl
#

we had a better Execute when it was only on the last 20%

nova marsh
#

Honestly I think exe is mostly okay

#

If I ignore colossus

gaunt owl
#

its kinda okay

charred brook
#

serv up

gaunt owl
#

but i still hate juggernaut

teal fossil
#

Remove jug

nova marsh
#

I hated juggernaught A LOT more in Legion

teal fossil
#

Let us get rewarded to sniping executes

gaunt owl
#

watching your 12 stack of jugg drop off 10 seconds before coming into Execute range make me sad

teal fossil
#

Blame the majority

frosty pike
#

another luke warm take - i miss the 80-100% venthyr execute 😦

nova marsh
#

I don't

#

Fuck condemm

halcyon hull
#

Condemn sucked

astral talon
#

i miss aftershock

#

was fun to do a big slap

nova marsh
#

AA was nice

gaunt owl
#

and we got it

teal fossil
#

We didn’t

#

We still do piss damage outside of execute

#

Well not piss

#

you get the idea

gaunt owl
#

its only 22% loss before Execute

#

from the 45% from before

frosty pike
#

i said it was a luke warm take 😄 i know condemn is not everyones favorite

opal folio
#

Bring back banner tbh

frosty pike
#

i also enjoyed banner

nova marsh
#

Condemm was just objectively bad

teal fossil
#

If we had condemn then we would have flatter damage profile

nova marsh
#

again

teal fossil
gaunt owl
#

all i want from Condemn is the absorb shield

nova marsh
#

Yeah the absorb in exe was nice

gaunt owl
#

that was gloriously free HPS

opal folio
#

Shadowlands was good times

teal fossil
#

Best expac

gaunt owl
#

if they werent stubborn about gatekeeping Covenant

#

it would have been a far more appreciated xpac for sure

#

once we had freedom to choose it was good

nova marsh
#

If they make the gameplay good it would've been a lot better

#

And covenants weren't awful

teal fossil
#

So it’s like lore on why you can freely swap

halcyon hull
#

Shadowlands. The best expansion where everyone and their mother listed all the problems it was gonna have during beta and blizzard had to spend 2 years slowly rolling back all the shit decisions around covenants.

#

If anything they got worse with it because they threw Aug into the game halfway

#

Lol

gaunt owl
#

plenty of feedback was given during beta of DF

#

and only introduced during TWW beta

halcyon hull
#

Explain ret paladin

gaunt owl
#

they are special boys

#

with special need

halcyon hull
#

I'll agree that every expac has stuff that gets mentioned during beta and ignored. I guess SL just felt infinitely worse because it was just so many different systems that needed to be addressed.

gaunt owl
#

all we really needed was free covenant swap

#

no restriction

#

for DF they probably spend too much time on Augvoker design

#

it was the first real support class

opal folio
gaunt owl
#

and it threw a big wrench into the game

halcyon hull

the famous tuning knob

what's the trick again for jumping out of the last boss of ara-kara?

frosty pike

wait until the cast bar is 90~%

#

if you cant do that just wait til the little "bounce" when the pull in is happening

#

and then send your heroic leap

fringe moon

hmm...I tried that but still ended up getting sucked in and died. do I need to spell reflect anything?

shadow ibex
#

about to be using 2x on use

nova marsh
#

Bro I've been using two x on use for the entire tier so far

#

It's ASS

shadow ibex
#

this tier is nothing but on use

#

its not that bad i guess since they dont care about when being used

nova marsh
#

It's still really annoying

shadow ibex
#

its either myth larynx or myth track shoulders to cata

#

but i can just get shoulders from first boss

nova marsh
#

I just want sac brood so I don't have to use them.

dire hinge
#

gear its temporary

gloomy atlas
#

Whenever you are in M+ with the prio builds, in execute phase on a add do you still fish for the two stacks of lethal blows or send it with two executioner's precision?

shadow ibex
#

i hate taking the trinket cuz im not super impressed by it

#

but its also not bad

#

the dmg is over time so it has many chances to crit

#

well no t many but a few

obtuse surge
#

how come wowhead says double use trinkets is better? thought it was forbidden to use double use

gray steeple
#

Not forbidden, just not optimal for most

shadow ibex
#

Most trinkets are on use this tier as well

#

Pretty difficult to get away from them

nova marsh
#

This tier is forcing doubble on use to be optimal

#

Unless you loot sacbrood

teal fossil
#

Doesn’t have to be aligned with anything

obtuse surge
#

ahh, yea have hero sac, hero mad queens, champ treacherous. if thats the case might just run both hero queen and champ treacherous for arms

#

and maybe for fury ill run both hero trinkets

nova marsh
#

The only reason people want sac is literally just to avoid doubb on use

#

Shits just annoying

mild sierra
#

that is stat on use + dmg on use

#

when u use the dmg one doesnt matter

frosty ingot
#

why is my sim on training dummy casting cleave? do you use it over slam in ST or something?

lofty patrol
#

So if im not doing mythic raiding or +9 keys i dont get any gilded crests right? Which means both champion and hero can reach a max of 619?

worldly kernel
#

mandate is just good damage you send

strong tendon
#

hero can go to 626

#

But yes you need gilded crests to get there. which you can get from the last 2 bosses on heroic or occasionally forom teasure mapped delves

#

I also believe once you have cmpletely maxed out your runed crests in every slot you can trade them up for gilded, at 90 -->15.
So you have a path to get to 626, it will not be fast though.

Do you guys use any wa's to track 4piece buff ?

You want to track it during Execute

fresh spire
solid sentinel
halcyon breach
#

As you can have very cringe moments where you Execute 5+ times and don't hit a Tac proc

fresh spire
#

and stack falls off

#

:fuark:

solid sentinel
fresh spire
#

if you good at paying attention to overpower to notice 2 resets then the tier one isn't so important, but really in execute its nice to run a weakaura for opportunist/set as it makes knowing when you should be executing or using op/ms etc

halcyon breach
#

You can simply make one by copying another WA you might have that tracks a buff, then change it to Lethal Blows

#

It just has an awkward caveat to it that it takes a moment for it to give you the stack of the set bonus, so it'll be delayed even if you get a Tac proc

halcyon breach
#

There's probably a fix to make it instant but I'm too dumb and too lazy to look for it

solid sentinel

Thank you guys!

#

(unhinged will get hinged

shadow ibex
#

im 100% ok with unhinged being super slotted all expac for slayer

#

but no plz free colossus from these ravager shackles

fresh spire
#

Issue is forced bladestorm

#

If they killed unhinged at least colosssus can drop ravager

#

Unhinged good. Bs bad

#

Tbh bake unhinged into slayer instead

#

And remove it from tree

shadow ibex
#

colossus with aoe MS would be

#

so good

#

can actually interact wit hEP in aoe

#

or just let cleave pop EP

#

idk its weird not havign an aoe rage dump man

#

execute rage is super cringe but above it youre flooded

#

cuz all youre doing is cleave for 20 rage

fresh spire
#

Execute just spends more since ir hasn't been adjusted

#

Most abilities was 30 but changed to 20 while execute still has the higher cap of 40

#

Why it feels so starved

teal fossil
#

EP should be a b uff

shadow ibex
#

its only starved when u press that tho otherwise youre chillin

teal fossil
#

and not a debuff

#

and affect cleave

fresh spire
#

I just want execute thunderclap back

shadow ibex
#

yes

#

thats exactly what i mean

#

colossus needs an aoe dump = give back TClap exe

#

idk how tho

fresh spire
#

I played colpssus in keys

#

It feels sad to tske anything execute related for aoe

shadow ibex
#

what else you gonna take

fresh spire
#

Was looking over the action list other day

shadow ibex
#

you have EP but its only there for bosses

#

aoe just cleave op op cleave

#

demo

fresh spire
#

Feels sad not pressing cleave to thunderclap in colossus as cleave hits like a truck

shadow ibex
#

idk what i would tie tclap exe to

#

upon reaching 10 stacks

#

get a buff that gives them

fresh spire
#

Kinda why I want clapcute back as sd/ep/clap being one button proc to do all multipliers and rebuff would be nice

shadow ibex
#

i dont even want it tied to SD man

#

i want to just be able to spend rage above 35% in aoe as colossus

fresh spire
#

It was sudden death proc related

shadow ibex
#

yea ik but we dont even take SD

fresh spire
#

Sd>ep on 5 target at least

shadow ibex
#

and im ok with that

fresh spire
#

On St ep is actually mega low

#

Slayer I got it down to almost 1%dif

#

Making cursed apl to support no ep

#

All because mortal strike actually sucks

#

Its not even worth epx2 ms anymore

shadow ibex
#

i hate this 4pc man

#

i swear

fresh spire
#

Actually a disaster

shadow ibex
#

i wouldnt care if i didnt have to track shit

#

just to hit a MS that hits a lil harder than OP

fresh spire
#

Only good for set because of addition amps and more forced crits

shadow ibex
fresh spire
#

Opportunist is just damn strong

shadow ibex
#

why cant MS have fuckin 30% dam and crit amp

#

wth

fresh spire
#

Being buffed from 10% to 30% was a monster buff

shadow ibex
#

i would sell my soul for frontal MS man

fresh spire
#

In the old iterations apl for slayer you could press anything and your damage stayed same as it suffered with execute being so mediocre for an execute based hero tree. They buffed it shot ms and buffed opportunist now we got this weird setup instead

shadow ibex
#

i just wanna pop like 6 stacks of EP

#

i do feel like a mastermind warrior when sweeping executes and letting ravager MS pop them by swapping target

fresh spire
#

Plenty of stuff just feels old or weak.
Ep weak because ms weak.
Jugg too many stacks low duration
Bl 0 damage amps only rage refund is little lack luster.
Fatality didn't even have an aura buff was terrible until they removed the 40% aura and its still basically down bad

shadow ibex
#

ill take fatality being removed

fresh spire
#

Bloodletting is just soo good it's manditory

shadow ibex
#

we really need a facelift bloodletting could be a capstone its so good

#

or buff blord and put it there

#

storm of swords needs to go

fresh spire
#

Add on bladestorm being forced and unhinged being the strongest node as the others are generally weak it's hard to make anything out of the left side bottom when we see starved for points as we got like 7 points for execute stuff slone

shadow ibex
#

cleave is 20 rage you dont need a free cleave

#

you generate 20 rage before you can even cast cleave again

fresh spire
#

Think node id basically for whirlwinding back to back. Wasn't really updated after they removed ww when cleave taken made more sence before that change

shadow ibex
#

exactly

#

i mean these the same people still calling it warbringer

fresh spire
#

Defo taking that 8 rage op node they decided to split as the old op node was just goated

shadow ibex
#

i really want that to make MS cost -8 rage + a buff to mortal strike

#

and buff reset talents

#

and let colossus mash MS till its heart explodes

fresh spire
#

No no more ms buffs

#

Just make ms base strong sgsin

shadow ibex
#

yes

fresh spire
#

Mp is so irrelevant to how the rotation plays id rather they shot it and found something else for op to do like I dunno. Having bl baseline in it's place

plucky fern
#

idk a lot of talents can be EASILLY saved it doesnt even take a lot of dev effort
throw a 10% overpower damage amp on finishing blows and its aleady a viable talent
slap a 200% aura buff on fatality and its a viable talent
make jugg less stacks more amp - solved
the problem is blizzard ignores arms existence so noone will do anything

My Pally and DK (same ilvl) both have hard times getting into keys; there is just a surplus of DPS v. Tanks / Heals

Okay but 5 was enough

15 is extreme

15 on tighter timers means wipe can just be insta deplete

it's not as if there wasn't incentive to not die in a timed format where deaths reduce the timer anyways

Ye that would sim better for me too, either rashan or hero delve

trim skiff
# neon jasper We've come so far since

yeah we've come far, but not far enough imo. the vault should be an addition to you grinding and it should help you out. Atleast in DF S4 you had "bad luck protection" due to getting a gear piece on a 1/14 track which you could upgrade it to full. I'm not saying we should get this 3-4 times, but being able to choose something 2 times in the full span of a season wouldn't hurt anyone or anything.

I'd also appreciate being able to close out certain options. Like why would you want to change your embellished slots if you craft them like I do, for the long run...

I've been there tho, getting a random one piece doesn't help really, yeah

neon jasper
#

Id certainly support maybe a bullion a month system and being able to lock a slot every 2? Weeks

#

Any more of those 2 things would accelerate the season too much imo but that's completely subjective

i just want the ability to freeze my vault and re-take it the next week tbh

had 2 options in there this week and last week that i'd happily forego a whole vault just to pick

Honest opinion , gear got from being good from raid only. To mythic + being released and u getting an alternative of pugging raid or having to do it to be on the same level as other players in dps matters , then 2,3 chests got removed into the vault we had , switched to this vault , gear is so much easier to come by now and all this being able to free vault/get bullions make the game piss easy (excuse my language) so the way it is right now it do be the nicest we had (in my opinion) no freezing or locking for whenever needed , just luck, from 3-4 pieces a week to the amount you get now? Makes the game grindable ,more fun ,more played for them

Heytrying to learn arms. Do you only click mortal strike to reapply rend? Or what

oblique lodge
#

Sometimes cleave

dire hinge
reef knoll
dire hinge
#

in single target, you'll be casting Mortal Strike on cooldown until the boss hits 35% health, where you'll then use an "execute rotation"
These will probably help you the most right now:

  1. Single Target rotation
  2. Execute Rotation

#

is the Mercurial Egg a Sims trap or it performs about as well as it shows?

reef knoll
dire hinge
dire hinge
reef knoll
#

Only thing jm not undertanding clearly is when to use the skullsplitter cd

misty bridge
dire hinge
#

after the opener, arms uses a "priority system" of what is currently available to you, so you always cast the highest thing in the list

reef knoll
#

Thank you. Just need to understand the dynamic of mortal strike overpowered and skullsplitter. I understand the other parts. Maybe ill just revisit later on today when im not sleepy

dire hinge
#

totally. If you're not in execute phase, it's basically:

  • Overpower if you have the "Opportunist" buff
  • Mortal Strike
  • Skullsplitter is your highest priority "filler" spell.
  • Overpower without any buffs
#

Slam should only be used if you're literally out of every cooldown possible

reef knoll
#

Just saw on icy veins to keep mortal strike on cooldown

dire hinge
#

that's the goal, correct

#

the caveat being that "Opportunist" is slightly more important.

#

so it's Mortal Strike > Overpower > Skullsplitter
with an asterisk that "Opportunist" overpowers come first

reef knoll
#

Only execute with 2 or marks stacks of mark of death

dire hinge
#

it's good to go to the rotation page, break it into smaller chunks and just learn those on a training dummy in little parts instead of trying to firehose the whole class at times

reef knoll
#

Yea i was trying it in a dummy and sustaining only 700k dps. I was doing the whole rotation wrong and it felt like i didnt know what i was doing

#

I was spamming slam and not clicking mortal strike at all

dire hinge
#

ah, yeah Slam should be your absolute last resort

reef knoll
#

When u have nothing to click, click that?

dire hinge
#

not gonna lie i dont know anything about fury ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

but yes

#

our rough gameplay loop is:
Mortal Strike -> Overpower -> spend rage to try and get Overpower back via a passive called "Tactician"

#

sorry if it's posted somewhere, but why do like 90% of warriors play fury instead of arms? am i missing something

random wasp

i imagine fury will fall down a bit in usage as the adds die faster with more gear and the nerfs

dire hinge
# warped elbow sorry if it's posted somewhere, but why do like 90% of warriors play fury instea...

fury has a lot going for it. It's tankier (higher baseline hp thanks to second weapon) and it's the beastmaster hunter of melee (simple rotation, easy to do well with while having little class knowledge).

This raid specifically was almost designed for fury's toolkit, so it was popular since it allowed your raid to focus boss damage heavier and rely on your Fury Warrior to handle intermittent adds

random wasp
#

the adds of the raid dont have a high health pool usually

#

so fury aoe burst is very desirable

warped elbow
#

Ah okay thank you all! I've been very confused since arms is doing better in other aspects but only see fury's

dire hinge
#

it can do most of its burst in just 2-3 GCDs and its burst is on a very short cooldown, so it can flex into AoE easily, and on-demand

#

Arms is more boss damage focused

warped elbow
dire hinge
#

Fury is doing wet noodle boss damage atm, but cleans up adds like none other

random wasp
#

yeah fury is desirable just because of the encounter design

#

if this was a single target focused raid, fury would be bottom of the barrel rn

#

its good for keys too. not the best but its good. arms has similar overall but less tanky than fury

reef knoll
#

Arms is huge ST tho.

warped elbow
#

Good good, i'll keep going strong with arms then

and equip what sims higher

reef knoll
dire hinge
#

No worries there, that’ll be a nice dps gain

reef knoll
#

Is that a good rule of thumb

dire hinge
#

In the opener yes, but your cooldowns will desynchronize after that. You’re almost going to be using Skullsplitter on cooldown, but it will get delayed slightly as you use other, more important abilities above it in the priority list

raven atlas
#

why MS before skullsplitter? doesnt bladestorm already swing MS during its duration?

rare kite
#

Bladestorm ms casts free ms's and do not put yours on cd

raven atlas
#

So ms cooldown > skullsplitter cd

somber dome
#

why do you guys choose arms over fury? im in doubt on what to play

vagrant ridge
#

better ST dps

#

and to mix keys up

#

after 50 stonevault + gb keys, I found arms refreshing to play

brisk slate
#

We like Arms. It also synergizes better with prot gear, so Arms is the traditional offspec for prot, and vice versa.

Aside of that, class fantasy and some varied gameplay reasons.

Or just because big stick goes bonk.

#

For me personally, it's the offspec angle - I main prot - and the big stick.

How is the Trinket "Skarmorak Shard" simmed? does it take the extra mastery from dying adds into account? Got the chance to take that as myth track, but Princess "Treacherous Transmitter" On-Use seems better even on hc on simms. But i wonder with all the adds encounters in raid, does the Skarmorak shard maybe get some more hidden value or is it negligible
