yes i love colossus too but more single target damage wouldn't be bad.

icy mulch
#

But even without ToM, you hit OP twice to get MS to do decent damage. If lucky 1 or 2 SD procs, and can get that juicy 2 mil MS.

#

Hard to fit that into a CS window.

#

Hard to get that lucky

glacial moat
#

It just felt good. Like all three warrior specs felt awesome in legion.

Alot of classes were this way. Artifact power and legendaries go brrrrrr

livid cloak
#

AP was misery

#

Don't let rose tinted goggles make you forget

manic river
#

Is mastery really working out for some arm builds?

icy mulch
#

There was bad parts about Legion. Like if you didn't get the right legendary early on.

shadow ibex
#

cant wait for tom buff

#

i wanna have perma dmg amps as colossus

#

tom/cs/demo 10% dmg taken debuff up all the time

icy mulch
#

I think CS needs to have its proc reset returned to tactician.

#

The rework to arms in DF was just such a hap-hazard product. So now it feels like we're duct taping everything together.

gaunt owl
#

it was BFA

#

that cursed the spec

shadow ibex
#

we've been playing same thing since BFA p much

#

just with various legendary/azerite traits thrown in the tree

#

instead of making something cohesive

#

just here's seismic wave but its DN now. here's EP. here's tom here's battlelord

#

here's unhinged

#

press MS. press OP. tact lights up spend excess with slam

tranquil sundial
#

just lovely really

#

nerf warrior more

#

esp arms

gaunt owl
#

push button harder

#

less looking at logs

shadow ibex
#

i mean

#

it is dumb we caught a nerf

#

because blizzard is too lazy to balance the hero specs separate

gaunt owl
#

they could have left it as is

#

legit

shadow ibex
#

we could really use a small ST bump

gaunt owl
#

we knew we were mid tier for ST

shadow ibex
#

considering youre super mega pigeonholed into only playing ST

#

for some reason rets got love for that reason

gaunt owl
#

we just got nuked because its a nice Fury tier on some boss

shadow ibex
#

but brown just nothin

gaunt owl
#

revert MS nerf

#

give it the glorious 20% back

thick kelp
#

Dont look at sikran for ST

#

so bad

shadow ibex
#

they not paying attention king

thick kelp
#

since we have run out mechanic at 1:30

shadow ibex
#

warbringer devs

#

cant be bothered not to nerf BS for arms when nerfing it for fury

thick kelp
#

We are one 20%ms revert away from colossus meta

#

in raid too

primal urchin
#

sikran is a short fight with a LOT of RNG in terms of who gets forced downtime

gaunt owl
#

the best ST fight this tier is Princess

#

just pray to god you dont have any mechanics

#

hi folks, just looking at the arms build on DPS-FAQ, why would you choose blunt instruments over warbreaker for mythics?

shadow ibex
#

depends what u wanna do

#

wanna do more aoe take WB

#

more ST take blunt

thick kelp
#

if you play colossus

#

always go wb chatting

tranquil sundial
#

huh

shadow ibex
#

must be nice having a brave grp

merry nexus
#

I was under the impressiong AoE is priority for mythics compared to ST
Ive been playing slayer atm, however colossual channel is sick

thick kelp
#

dbts

#

and fly to madagascar

tranquil sundial
#

how is that a problem

#

charge back

#

you lose like .5 seconds

#

not even a global

shadow ibex
#

can u survive with just dbts

thick kelp
#

no

shadow ibex
#

boo

thick kelp
#

tested and tried this week

shadow ibex
#

lmao

shadow ibex
#

hmmm

#

will you die if u get mech with the 20% dmg taken debuff

#

assuming not mega low ilvl

arctic fractal
#

schrodinger's test of might made me lol, thanks gladge

#

Good afternoon, Skyhold!

Question about gems. Are you guys using multiple different gems to maximize the crit buff from the culminating blasphemite or stacking one kind of gem? Guide tells us to diversify, sims say to stack quick rubies

thick kelp
#

Make sure to checkmark the box to force 4+ gems

quartz cedar
#

there's a box to force +4 gems?? so i infer from that that diversifying is the right way to go then.

thick kelp
#

Might be might not be

#

you have to sim both options

quartz cedar
#

i dont even see that checkbox

shadow ibex
#

you have to pick a meta gem first

#

it doesnt appear until you click one and tick always use

thick kelp
#

Press here first

#

on Always use

shadow ibex
#

yea

quartz cedar
#

ahhhh

#

thank you

shadow ibex
#

it doesnt appear until that box is checked

wild ruin
#

Not sure if I liked cata or early legion arms the most, cata was just smooth, early legion was uniquely satisfying because of focused rage though

boreal quartz
#

@thick kelpsikran critcake

#

rip my log

radiant cliff
#

How viable would Arms be mainly for raid but like keys up up to 9?

radiant cliff
#

It's a pain gearing fury AND arms

#

Stats are so diff

thick kelp
#

Arms works with all stats

#

so just gear fury and get some rings for arms

#

and you will be like maybe 5k behind a fully bis arms only gear guy

boreal quartz
#

but also got 2 charges

thick kelp
#

Worst enemy

shadow ibex
thick kelp

Mechanics

boreal quartz
#

#

neck didnt even drop

thick kelp
#

My arms neck is pure horror

pseudo sun
#

I sim way higher than i actually perform during fights. I cant help but feel like i either get things wrong or the fights themselves dont go my way

boreal quartz
#

i refuse to socket it

pseudo sun
#

It there an addon or a weakaura that can help with managing the rotation? I dunno what else to do

boreal quartz
#

hekili

#

When is the 2nd Frontal on 2nd Boss myth ? 1:30 ?

limpid hornet
#

slayer still ahead for ST ?

shadow ibex
#

Yes

limpid hornet
#

though i read something about this on Archi's posts but can't find it anymore

limpid hornet
shadow ibex
#

Don't think of colossus in raid until you read a blue post saying MS is buffed

thick kelp
#

Colossus is better on silken

astral talon
#

is it really?

#

O_O

#

okay

#

if all goes well

#

like it did now

#

i should have around 1.2mil dps on rashanan

wraith spade
#

When i swap to arms from fury it leaves me with no mainhand and a 2hander in my offhand (fury offhand = my arms weap), anyone know how to rig gearsets to fix that critcake

white condor
#

Is arms getting buffed anytime soon

lavish siren
#

Arms is so fun

#

Lil bit of bloat but rotation is dynamic enough it doesn’t get boring

astral talon
#

why is rashanan so dogshit

boreal quartz
#

so real

vapid bay
lavish siren
#

I’ll relay to blizz

spring vale
#

Tell them to turn Slam into Execute when you get SD/target is in range

#

to cut 1 button away from bar

astral talon
#

we had ENTIRE soak in green puddle xD

lavish siren
spring vale
#

Slam helps me not feel despair when I'm out of buttons to press and rage is full

atomic mountain
#

I am to stupid to sim so here my question

Ovinax, ara kara and thorim umduar trinked all in champion track. What is the the best combo

spring vale
#

the hope of an Overpower refund

boreal quartz
#

cr and then get meleed insta

astral talon

alpine glade

how to compare logs ?

boreal quartz
#

like to someone else or

alpine glade
#

someone else

#

like search some ppl in my ilvl area

boreal quartz
#

theres a compare function in your report for that

alpine glade
#

yeah but how do i use it

astral talon

dude

#

same

alpine glade
astral talon
#

and i didnt get ring from sureki

tacit crystal
#

astral talon

ruby brook

Was there a buff to Arms yesterday?

astral talon
#

nerf

ruby brook
#

Damn

slow saddle
#

Buff to colo

minor gust
#

Minor buff to a talent you would only take in pure ST so pretty worthless rn

slow saddle
#

Ofc

astral talon
#

@boreal quartz 1.3mil at the moment of my death 😦

#

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE

#

even if we take aug into consideration

#

that's 95+ log

#

that could be close to 99 man

#

kill me

boreal quartz
#

Very unfort

astral talon

fucking hell man

can't wait for 50 logs when i kill

boreal quartz
hazy flower

no

boreal quartz
astral talon
#

i do on this boss

#

I am the execute guy

boreal quartz
#

I just feel ass killing on worst pull

astral talon
#

i want good logs there

boreal quartz
#

I prefer good logs

#

But i wanna be happy with my play first

#

And i just wasnt

astral talon
#

dude

#

xD

#

man's leaving us a green dick on our soak

dire hinge
#

more like a teewee tbh

fresh spire
dire hinge
astral talon
onyx fiber
#

when i look thru logs i get mixed signals

#

in execute do we go hard in on Exe>exe>exe>exe>exe>exe and only MS to apply rend

#

or do we go exe>exe>OP>MS on repeat?

#

seeing people with like 40 more exe casts than me cos of this

dire hinge
onyx fiber
#

with 4p?

dire hinge
#

if you do have 4piece, you want to send Mortal Strike once you have 2x stacks of Executioner's Precision and 2x stacks of Lethal Blows (4p tier buff)

onyx fiber
#

trying to compare like with like as much as i can

dire hinge
#

without 4piece: yes you only use MS to maintain Rend

onyx fiber
#

right ok, ty

dire hinge
#

sure thing!

tacit crystal
#

what do we do if rend is falling with 4p

dire hinge
#

still use MS to upkeep rend if it's gonna fall off 👍

tacit crystal
#

i havent really ran into it but good to keep in mind

latent moss
#

yeah

#

unless u are just turbo unlucky with tactician

tacit crystal
#

also good knowing i was right about reapplying it

dire hinge
#

the exact APL line is:
actions.slayer_execute+=/mortal_strike,if=dot.rend.remains<2|(debuff.executioners_precision.stack=2&buff.lethal_blows.stack=2)

Which translates to using Mortal Strike if:

  • Rend will fall off within 2 seconds
  • OR you have 2xEP + 2xLB
tacit crystal
#

makes sense

tranquil sundial
#

we take arterial bleed over one against many now?

teal fossil
#

on pure ST

#

bleeds contributes to so little to your ST

tranquil sundial
nova marsh
#

Bleeds in aoe are actually quite nice

#

Hell roar is one of our best aoe cds

tranquil sundial
#

mmh

#

one against many does 0 in ST

#

so I guess its nice now then, arterial bleed

nova marsh
#

Arterial is quite decent for st ye

tranquil sundial
#

but is it worth running over one against many in keys?

nova marsh
#

Depends on what u want

#

Lean into the aoe strengths of colossus or get a bit more st, altough the st gain is small from what I've heard

#

An argument can be made for both

livid cloak
#

For me bleed is 18k st

#

I take one against many

twin hazel
#

Does it matter what crafted 2 hander you get for Arms?

verbal marten
#

o

#

no

tacit crystal
#

the one that you like

#

or is cheapest

twin hazel
#

mats are crazy different and Sim saya Mace is better

shadow ibex
#

they are all the same

#

we promise

fleet sinew
#

hey mates I know you are gonna say "sim it"
but looking for a quick guess - would the dps between a 636 crafted vs 639 myth track be completely inconsequential?

nova marsh
#

Is it within 0.1%?

#

If so, assume it's sim variance

shadow ibex
tacit crystal
shadow ibex
#

weapon dmg is one of the most important stats as a dps but it also has a stacking all stat buff

tacit crystal
#

you can always recraft embellishment

fleet sinew
#

well I am rolling the double vers embellishments anyways

tacit crystal
#

what else is in your vault

shadow ibex
#

then i would pug first boss myth and grab a myth weapon

fleet sinew
#

myth sac
lol I tried that and lost the roll to a healer pally

nova marsh
#

Just loot it bro

tacit crystal
#

i would take the sac

#

weapon is easier to get

nova marsh
#

Sac is unnecessarily hard to get

#

Ffs at this point it might as well have a very rare tag

tacit crystal
#

on heroic or in vault

nova marsh
#

In general

fleet sinew
#

what tool on raidbots would I use to compare a weapon of 636 vs 639?

tacit crystal
#

in m+ its fine to get

#

droptimizer

nova marsh
#

My key luck says otherwise

tacit crystal
#

i got one in 1 key on my evoker

nova marsh
#

Literally running most of my own keys and ONLY ONE Ara Kara key I've seen all season

tacit crystal
#

this demon got a sac before you

#

🙂

nova marsh
#

Shoot me

tacit crystal
#

at 602

#

as well

#

the worst part is my evoker is going to pass my warrior in io soon

nova marsh
#

So

#

ur a voker main now

tacit crystal
#

to push io

#

in raid war

nova marsh
#

truly a sad day

#

Auger?

tacit crystal
#

yes

#

i get to play with better players

#

idc

nova marsh
#

fair

#

Just don't be a filthy one trick

peak kiln
#

Hello guys i would like to know if it s possible to have a macro for Slam , when i press it if I got a proc of Overpower or Execute it cast those spell before slam ?

nova marsh
#

I don't think macros can actually read things like CD resets

sacred zodiac
#

nah they're all on the gcd and known spells

#

can maybe do some cast sequence trickery but using tac and EP procs like that would be awful

worldly kernel
#

i cant think of any need for macros on arms tbh

#

like combat wise

nova marsh
#

Cursor macros for leap is amazing

#

Also standard CD macros

#

For trinkets/racials

#

But like...that's about it, we sure aren't FDK

shadow ibex
#

affix + demo kinda fun

wanton sierra
#

archon website

nova marsh
#

Tier lists are awful content

#

Logs better source of how classes are doing

fluid rune
#

Any high m+ arms colossus pov video suggestions?

manic river
#

I havent seen videos about arms honestly

potent cedar
#

ST fight, within 2% of my sim dps

#

parsed a 45

#

so sad my gear is so bad

wanton sierra
nova marsh
#

Ur not getting invited anyways

gilded stump
#

Do you guys enjoy arms in the current state with sks?

quasi torrent
#

no

daring heron
#

no

frozen bramble
#

I feel like Arms identity should be big chunky hits, not managing bleeds

nova marsh
#

Fuck sks

frigid cipher
#

I like sks a lot. I don’t like every cd being giga misaligned

nova marsh
#

I mean

#

Noone likes that shit

#

But SKS just isn't really that good

frigid cipher
#

Idk I’ve always liked it. Now that it interacts with bleeds I like it even more

#

I know it also did in df but I didn’t play df

nova marsh
#

I think the bleed interaction is just not great

spring vale
#

would you like it if instead of making the bleeds tick faster it just consumed the entire damage left on the dot in a burst kinda like infliction of sorrow does on Sanlayn

shadow ibex
#

no because then i have to reapply it

frigid cipher
#

Isn’t that what it did for a bit

shadow ibex
#

for some of DF yea

#

just mean you had to rend before and after

#

was pretty annoying since rends initial is potatoe

edgy solstice
#

was more than slam

nova marsh
#

I mean that's not a high bar for DF slam

#

DF slam was barely worthy of being called an ability

shadow ibex
#

warbringer devs btw

nova marsh
#

See but guys

#

It's worth it for the RP of the neglected middle child keks

balmy kindle
#

Really feeling the damned slayer nerfs deadge

unique warren
#

With the nerfs on Slayer, is the best thing to use Colossus 100%?

nova marsh
#

Not really

#

Each are close enough to play whatever you like

balmy kindle
#

But it's very evident now that your peak ST is nerfed

unique warren
#

its good talents for m+?

balmy kindle
#

Yeah this is what you will run on m+, but maybe add cleave somewhere

#

Without cleave you won't have any aoe ( ms and cleave proc reap the storm )

teal fossil
#

You need cleave

#

Need fob and extended sweeps too

#

Those that’s less mandatory

balmy kindle
#

Not enough points

teal fossil
#

Way too many points on bottom right

shadow ibex
cosmic shale
balmy kindle
#

Might as well play colossus deadge

balmy kindle
shadow ibex
#

i think most ppl who type in arms disc channel play arms despite its current state

#

not because of it

balmy kindle
light quiver
#

What’s happening in .5?

shadow ibex
#

overwhelmed is getting nerfed

#

p sure

#

or thats .2? is .2 what they are calling it or did i make that up

balmy kindle
#

If anything we need some compensation clueless

nova marsh
#

Here's another MS nerf by 15%

balmy kindle
nova marsh
#

I mean whoose having the stroke

#

us or the boss

#

If it's the boss then it'd probally do more damage then MS does now

balmy kindle
#

I actually think MS does ok damage at the moment but alot of it is banked on buffs and crits

shadow ibex
#

i hit pretty mega MS in siege earlier you can slap one with colossus

#

just need everything up

balmy kindle
#

It has a shit load of variance

shadow ibex
#

all 18 MS Buffs

nova marsh
#

Ms is trash

#

even in execute it's trash

#

....some nice like....2 mills in there as slayer in exe

balmy kindle
#

I mean it does alot of dmg as long as you crit and you have EP stacked

nova marsh
#

Arms's dps just feels like "Oh did you not crit? Suck it"

balmy kindle
#

But yes on its own it's kind of noodle

nova marsh
#

COUGH ms and demolish

#

they're the same ability

#

If it crits it's a dopamine rush

#

If it dosen't it's a depression hit

#

If it gets parried I uninstall the fucking game

balmy kindle
nova marsh
#

...

#

NO

#

If that happens I'm alt f4inghh

balmy kindle
#

Or better, CS up 3 mark execute (sudden death)

"Parried"

nova marsh
#

See parry is such a fun and engaging mechanic

#

It makes you think tactically!

#

Makes you wonna tell mechanics to go fuck themselves

balmy kindle
#

I mean I try to stay on the side and rear as much as possible

nova marsh
#

At this point wow should just give arms positionals!

balmy kindle
#

But when boss suddenly turns and lucks out the 5%

nova marsh
#

To make us REALLY think tactically! keks

balmy kindle
#

We lost ark now critcake

nova marsh
#

Na ffxiv

#

I'm gonna kms if we get positionals blizz needs to stay the fuck away from that shit

#

Garbage mechanic

#

wait lost ark has positionals?

#

honestly how would that even work in modern wow?

#

Bosses fly all over the damn place so much nowadays it'd be imppossible

balmy kindle
#

I don't want to know, because lost ark encourages positional attacks keks

Yet the meta classes are always the brainless front attackers

nova marsh
#

Because again, positionals are a bad mechanic

#

I will never understand why games like lost ark and 14 stick to them so much, noone I've talked to ever likes them

#

I'm genuinely glad wow never got on that train

balmy kindle
nova marsh
#

I mean 14 at least isn't THAT extreme (anymore)

#

But yeah god damn

#

Granted wow too has had it's share of garbage mechanics (hit)

#

also parry

#

Altough tbh let's be real, parry and hit are the same damn thing

jolly quartz
#

i would play ffxiv if it wasnt for the like 2 minute rotations

#

and 2.5 second gcd

nova marsh
#

Honestly the main issue is the 2 minute rotation

#

it's genuinely awful game design

#

GCD feels fine on DPS because you have a ridicious amount of OGCDS

#

Also honestly not worth it

#

Wow has much better endgame

nova marsh
#

No this dps from anyone isn't the greatest

#

But holy it's been so long since I've had a group that's fully on the same page. One of the smoothest runs I've ever done, absoutlely shocking for a pug

#

+6 ara kara.

#

We were only a few minutes off of a 3 chest too. Very close

edgy solstice
#

ffxiv gcd isn't as bad anymore for some specs

nova marsh
#

Viper, Samauari, Monk, ninja

#

All fast GCD classes

edgy solstice
#

p much all melee are down to 1.5 ish and usually higher apm

nova marsh
#

Ye

#

APM is actually decently close to wow for most meele at the very least

edgy solstice
#

It's higher usually

dire hinge
edgy solstice
#

With all the ogcds ffxiv has

nova marsh
#

With those stupid fucking body guards

#

But I can't complain. No sac but holy crap, a smoothe run is a smoothe run. Shit I would've done the 8 too but I got work in the morning

dire hinge
#

almost caught the dk gladge

nova marsh
#

Win some ya loose some

#

Nice dam thou

dire hinge
#

feels like CD timing gets better the higher you go

nova marsh
#

Arms just feels better when things live

#

When things die in a single GCD set, arms is kinda poopy.

dire hinge
#

i've historically spammed jump a stim key and it cancels Demolish while channeling, unironically been the hardest thing to unlearn for my brain this season

nova marsh
#

I've kinda just accepted my fate as slayer

#

Colossus dosen't jive with brain well and it leads to more frustration then fun

#

COUGH until I loose 3 slayer marks because I forgot to execute the target as the pack dies

dire hinge
#

it feels unnecessarily busy at times (colossus) and stinks when you Demo something that then teleports to a range target

#

but it's chill

nova marsh
#

Ye arms in general is

#

But slayer feels comfy

edgy solstice
#

yeah ngl i dont really ever have the desync issues a lot of people talk about with colo in keys

shadow ibex
#

me either

#

rava and WB always line up

edgy solstice
#

in raid, it would be way more noticeable

shadow ibex
#

i send my rava before WB idk if thats optimal but i do

nova marsh
#

Colossus desyncs a lot less then slayer

shadow ibex
#

idk why it wouldnt be

edgy solstice
#

but wb/colo are usually coming up at the end of packs so you just hold them for a few

nova marsh
#

Like just a few keys made me realize colossus is basically df arms but with worse rage and demolish

shadow ibex
#

you go into every pack with demo sweeping and WB

#

and sks

#

at least

edgy solstice
#

yeah

#

even if they're off for a few secs, you're holding them for next pack anyway

#

so the desync doesn't effect anything

shadow ibex
#

ive only been doing 9s to farm crests and idk

#

i havent been beat by another class overall

#

boss dmg is emberassing

edgy solstice
#

i lose in 11s all the time xd

#

but it aint bad

shadow ibex
#

i just pug

edgy solstice
#

same

#

cba to premade

shadow ibex
#

col feels good but i'll still take ST bump

#

and i think slayer needs 1 cuz idk why it gets a slap when UH and rets exist

edgy solstice
#

just revert ms nerf

#

half of it at least

nova marsh
#

Honestly I don't mind loosing in dps

edgy solstice
#

it's dumb to be playing the ms spec and still not wanna hit ms

nova marsh
#

As long as I have 3 comptent dps

#

I'd rather be dead last with 3 dps doing something then be top with dps doing tank damage

shadow ibex
#

idk with the rage income

#

you'll just never press MS i guess?

nova marsh
#

The amount of carries this season is abnsoutlely insane

shadow ibex
#

getting x2 resets and x2 EP stacks is expensive

#

i guess drop something for 2/2 deft

edgy solstice
#

with colo it's worth bc crit fishing and no extra SDs/jugg to worry about

shadow ibex
#

i dont really like mbg anyway

nova marsh
#

mbg dosen't even worth it

edgy solstice
#

if colo's entire identity wasn't big cleave aoe, sure

shadow ibex
#

true

#

def aint MS

edgy solstice
#

almost as if

#

they could be the same spell

shadow ibex
#

been sayin that

dire hinge
shadow ibex
#

rend and tclap also need to be two seperate buttons as well

edgy solstice
#

12s are tough tho so im on d4 break until i get trinks from vault or something

dire hinge
#

they are two separate buttons WICKEDcrung

nah that's too friendly to gameplay

Tell that to ret

edgy solstice
#

people actually play ret

#

arms has like 3 and a half players

nova marsh
#

People play ret cuz its brain dead

edgy solstice
#

people like brain dead

#

brain dead specs can still be min maxed

shadow ibex
#

warbringer devs

edgy solstice
#

arms more often than not has some god awful setup to their abilities or overall clunky design

nova marsh
#

At least arms requires 2 braincells

#

Idk maybe I like clunky

#

Just delete parry

edgy solstice

carries are insanely cheap nowadays

balmy kindle
#

Sad to say but yes

#

everyone switching to Arms now for raid? the logs showing arm top 5 for heroics difficulty

edgy solstice
#

it was already better boss dam than fury since the start

#

but i would hope not lol. arms was pumping week 1 sure but our tier set might be the worst in the game

#

for our raid build at least

jolly quartz

#

I am to stupid to sim so here my question

Ovinax, ara kara and thorim umduar trinked all in champion track. What is the the best combo

edgy solstice
#

was better than ours even before it got buffed

boreal quartz
#

Id prolly ara kara + X

tacit crystal
#

timewalking trinket

boreal quartz
#

Yes but what does it do

#

I aint remember some yeye ass ulduar items

tacit crystal
#

pretty sure its thats strength haste on proc

#

or soemthing

#

on 2 min

fickle lotus
#

I mean HC is such a Meme. You can play everything. Everything dies so quickly now. I think Queen HC is the only real Fury Fight still.

boreal quartz
#

HC Queen is chill on arms too

#

Reap the storm and roar cover most aoe

#

And your p1 lineups are decent

vernal crypt
#

Hey yall, my guild is going to be moving into mythic soon. Are there any bosses which prefer arms aside from the 2 pure ST fights, or is it pretty much fury for the rest?

boreal quartz
#

4+5 are definitely fury prog fights

#

6/7 more leaning arms

#

8 should still be fury

vernal crypt
#

🫡

small prism
#

If I'm going to be playing all three specs (in theory) should I just focus on the non-weapon slots for crafted gear and hope for drops?

boreal quartz
#

Id generally just spend 2 sparks on wep 1 on writhing armor and then make the prot thing after

small prism
#

I thought writhing was sub-par in m+?

#

I've got 4 sparks, i was thinking 2hander no embellish, and two armor slots with the verse or crit embellish

tacit crystal
#

thats fine if your main goal is m+

#

but dmf + writhing is better for raid fury

#

and equal on arms compared to double dawn/duskthread

boreal quartz
#

So if you also raid it's still the best option

fickle lotus
#

What has more Value for Pot in Raid if the Fight is under 5 Minutes... With BL on Pull or wait for Execute Phase ?

clear rain
#

why is having rend up so important?

#

is there a talent im not reading

#

or its just good damage

fickle lotus
#

I mean, having it not up is DMG loss.

#

SkS does interact with rend.

clear rain
#

whats sks

fickle lotus
#

Skullsplitter.

clear rain
#

ah

fickle lotus
#

If im not wrong, Rend is more DMG then CS for Example, if the Target lives the full Duration. So not that bad for a GCD.

clear rain
#

but OBV i shoudnt refresh rend when i know my target doenst last 26 seconds

#

21*

well all in all i used MS and thats what makes me happy XD

Dont use that

im pretty sure wowanalyzer isnt up to date

tacit crystal
#

yeah

you can do that by looking at a log

worldly kernel

shadow binding ritual giving me 13k DPS increase in keys not sure if this is simbait or not

edgy solstice

not really

#

it's a pretty good stat stick

#

just pray it doesn't proc during opener

worldly kernel
#

im simming myth khadros and skarm and it's 13k over those

#

if I got it from vault it's doubled this is fucking wild I thought it was just simbait the whole time

boreal quartz

#

Nothing is insane on Arms

its joever

keys not raid also to clarify

if that even makes a difference

Even over a myth item?

its always the 3 jumps on pull no?

fickle lotus
#

Nah. Its rdm

thick kelp
#

I charge -> transmitter into a pull

fickle lotus
#

Okay. I give it a Try. Do you play Col in Keys ?

#

Is WB the Play with COL ? Wowhead Colossus Build doesnt have it.

balmy kindle
teal fossil
#

Interesting that ppl are going wb considering cds are still misaligned

balmy kindle
#

It's most a case of fat burst aoe (reason you play Colo). Blunt is fine too but Colo boss damage is kind of sadge

#

Zero + zero is kind of zero vibe

#

So you rather just get stuff that makes your aoe hit harder

thick kelp

#

can someone link a solid colossus dungeon build

balmy kindle
#

You can look up artji on raid Io and copy his builds keks

Just look at the most recent clears

fickle lotus
balmy kindle
astral steeple
#

What stats does the weapon have in the raid?

balmy kindle
#

If u want battlelord just swap points around as you see fit.

Usually removing points from bleed, exe talents and EP

thick kelp
#

Swap around Soa and DN depending on dungeon

#

In some places with really small pulls I would argue to take blunt > WB

fickle lotus
#

Thanks!

bronze elbow
#

trying colossus in a delve

#

this still sucks

#

what a bummer

balmy kindle
#

Would take Colo in delve anytime tho, DR is big

bronze elbow
#

it just doesnt pump

fickle lotus
#

What is more Value for the Pot in Raid at ST, send it on Pull with Lust or wait until Exe Phase ?

balmy kindle
#

From a strictly parsing pov that is

manic stirrup
#

i recommend playing arterial bleed, sks, and strength of arms everh key

#

every

thick kelp
#

choco stop

fickle lotus
balmy kindle
#

Then use it on lust where you are juiced

fickle lotus
#

Ok

clear rain
manic stirrup
#

gonna resim a bunch of stuff incase im wrong

balmy kindle
#

Sks and art bleed does help on colo boss damage

clear rain
#

this talent also feels nice

thick kelp
#

feels nice

#

is not nice

vernal crypt
#

Boss damage sucks either way, just truck with demolish wicked

vital summit
#

nice for stacking stacks

balmy kindle
thick kelp
#

you alr got sks etc for st

balmy kindle
#

I personally prefer 1v5 too, cleave dmg big

astral talon
#

I wish collosus was the go to in raid 😦

#

Man rashanan would be soooooooo nice with it haha

balmy kindle
#

Same here, kind of fed up with slayer

fickle lotus
#

Col wants Haste Crit right ?

thick kelp
#

no

#

Col is Crit Mastery Haste Versa

fickle lotus
#

Oh nice. These are by far the highest Stats of my Gear. Will go full Col from now on

manic stirrup
#

oh i shouldve simmed no buffs

#

shit one sec

#

'current gear' is juggernaut slayer

#

for comparison

#

if u have skyfury and/or other raid buffs my build is pretty equal but with no raid buffs battlelord has increased value

thick kelp
#

So battlelord in all situations

manic stirrup
#

ill take that L yeah

thick kelp
#

with 1v5

#

for best result

clear rain
#

what do u take out for battlelord/

thick kelp
#

sks

clear rain
#

i see

manic stirrup
#

in stonevault specifically i think 1v5 and battlelord lose value though

thick kelp
#

Why

#

Stonevault is big pull city

clear rain
#

uhh what else do i take out?xd

#

execute?

boreal quartz
#

1 bb

thick kelp
#

mbg

boreal quartz
#

Ye fuck mbg

manic stirrup
manic stirrup
balmy kindle

Would remove mBG imo not very useful

thick kelp
#

with 1v5 too

visual fern
#

@thick kelp @dire hinge what were you saying about execute phase after the opportunist - slayer talent nerf?

#

Something about MS condition iirc?

thick kelp
#

Much easier to play for same dps

manic stirrup
#

2.5% st with arterial bleed for 3.8% aoe loss

#

feel like thats up to comp

edgy solstice
#

arterial in sv is trolling

strange perch
#

Serious question of the day. Mained arms all DF with 3.2k reached in m+ s2-3 and 3k in S4. Tww came and arms was doomed in every social media platform. Rolled fury, it got nerfed 4 times already. Craving my execute spam so much. Realistically, how much of a self harm move would be to stick to arms and try to pug again my way to 3.2k? Where are the most viable and up to date builds I can run, I'm confused about stuff that's documented

thick kelp
# visual fern Oh just OP b2b?

die opportunist die

Opportunist dies in arms next patch
using 2 charge prio over opportunist in execute is a gain
2 charges over opportunist in st is a little loss, but just making people always send first stack ez
execute still wants you to use it when under 80 rage tho

Fishy simmed and this was his tldr of the change

visual fern
#

Not OP > Exe > tact > OP

thick kelp
#

2OP means the 2nd charge

#

that you have one still back there

#

if u go out of rage

manic stirrup
#

u can kinda do whatever u want

#

sks/no sks, warbreaker/bi, soa/dreadnaught, mbg/no mbg, battlelord/no battlelord, arterial bleeds/1v5

#

any combination of those 6 things is viable to varying degrees

clear rain
#

do i ever consider taking out massacre

#

or its too mcuh value

balmy kindle
edgy solstice
#

i would drop massa way before i would ever drop sks

manic stirrup
clear rain
#

somtin like this

balmy kindle
#

Thing is if you have Ep

#

Massacre is great value

clear rain
#

ye but aoe damage gonna be juicy

balmy kindle
#

EP - executioners precision

thick kelp
#

u dont need more AOE

edgy solstice
#

but really only in ST. it's much easier to sweep executes onto prios in packs with or without massa

balmy kindle
thick kelp
#

You already have 1v5 + collat + wb

#

But yes that point is "flex" point

#

altho I heavily prefer to keep it on massacre, only maybe swapping it out in Dawnbreaker

manic stirrup
fluid geyser
#

My cata classic brain with "MS off CD or dmg loss" is struggling, in tww its 2x OP before you ever use MS?

clear rain
manic stirrup
#

up to you if you wanna make that choice

#

i personally wouldnt

#

should be noted sks is better than massacre in the battlelord build if u wanna play it

#

2% better in st, 0.3% better in aoe

#

aoe gain is marginal either way but st gain has some merit

clear rain
#

i really hate

#

skull spliter

#

such an extra spell to use

edgy solstice
#

true but it's too good

#

maybe they buff spear next season or something and then it won't be

clear rain
#

could anyone simplify the prio on skull spliter xd

#

i can never undersatnd it

vital summit
#

There should be a viable option that doesn't focus on bleeds

#

leave scratching to ferals, we want chonk hits

edgy solstice
#

you p much just send sks on cd

#

if you mean raid

#

if roar is up in a few secs, you hold for that

balmy kindle
#

Use it then use renddeadge

Is it normal for rage starve in the M+ build?

edgy solstice

for colo ya

honestly it was the case for me in the beginning, but with the better gear i don't feel rage starve at all

maybe occasionally on pure st fights? but there arent much of them either

youre right i forgot 💀

edgy solstice

everyone should be

they're the only healer in the game

for colossus is it better to drop sks for blord?

Thought u played botg

do you spend 2 stack cleave on ST at all

when waiting for ms cd

#

with say mbg proc

and cd

astral talon

Fire and forget

trim skiff
zinc rapids
#

Should I be holding MS until I have overpower stacks, and if so do I hold until I have 2 or is 1 enough if it's off CD?

thick hamlet

slam on cd especially in exe

latent moss

real

slow saddle
limpid dirge

is execute still MS only whne 2x exe precision, 2x martial prowess, 2x lethal blows, or to refresh rend

when 2x EP 2x LB or to refresh rend

Forget MP

doesnt exist

remove it!!

its only hurting the spec!

Remove all modifiers

tacit crystal

wtf is mp

thick kelp

martial prowess

tacit crystal
#

ah

#

the op modifier

thick hamlet

but what if i stack crit and mastery like a MAN

#

non of that pansy haste nonsense

#

and be a COLOSSUS on the st fights

#

and demolish

tacit crystal
#

have fun doing 0

thick kelp
#

U will be a lil behind

But on Court

you will be ahead

#

!

limpid dirge
#

can you clarify on why it doesnt exist? seems like 30% dam is better than the 10%crit 10%crit dam or at least equal

thick kelp
#

Computer says to not care about it

#

so I dont care about it

limpid dirge
#

also can you get tactician procs to trigger lethal blows if you are at 2 stacks of OP or do we need to keep 1 on CD to make sure we can trigger up

thick kelp
#

you can get stacks at 2 stacks of OP

#

but its a situation which doesnt happen often especially outside of cds

tacit crystal
#

mr walhe can tact/oppor proc if you are at 2/2 op charges

#

Anyone have a solid colossus build with some ST damage? im trying some new stuff out and I hate that wowhead tells us to use blademaster's torment

wanton sierra
#

imo reck proc shoulda last longer

quartz schooner
#

Opportunity proc = send op as prio.
2x 4p + 2x EP = send MS in execute.
Just sending MS on cooldown in non execute.

Do I have that right?

balmy swallow
#

also I dont like dropping SD for sks, is that actually worth it?

wanton sierra
#

man i press ms on CD... on execute phase i stack em up, with rav you dont need to press ms

wanton sierra
#

i feel we cant drop massacre, sks its way too good with TR combo

balmy swallow
#

thats what I mean, im trying to find a better ST build in colossus but they are dropping SD for SKS and I dont get it

thick kelp
#

use your OP 2 when below 85 rage and same rule for sks with sks being higher prio over OP2

icy mulch
#

Sending MS on cooldown will not give you big juicy damage. Sadly you want 2 stacks of the OP buff to it before sending it.

thick kelp
#

no u do not

#

hope this helps

#

MS on cd before exec

wanton sierra
#

ms is our main source of dam, it shall be pressed on cd... regardless of stacks or anything

#

ill share the build tzorn

balmy swallow
#

I took out MGB and SD for Massacre and SKS to try it out, not sure how that'll feel like

wanton sierra
#

idk if worthh it, ccoz i dropped 1 BB

balmy swallow
#

i would just drop MBG instead of BB if youre trying to go for more ST damage

quartz schooner
slow saddle
#

Buff baseline ms 10%

wanton sierra
#

mgb is insane with colateral dam... at the end of thhe pack you stack em up, like 12~13 stacks... for thhe next pack, fully stacked demo... you blast em up really hard... i did an 6M cleave and 7M demo right after on a SOB11

#

had to use dbts coz of agro

balmy swallow
#

ye ye but I was going for a more ST oriented build for tyrannical

#

mbg does nothing in ST

wanton sierra
#

10s we got tyrn and fort all togueter xD we are strong on aoe so we aoe them down

balmy swallow
#

ye but if you pug with other classes that have better aoe than us like shams or dks, might as well compensate with better ST

#

its a tradeoff, depends on what the group needs

wanton sierra
#

my ST is "PASSABLE" damn i hate that word

balmy swallow
#

im always changing talents anyways

boreal quartz
#

I dont like colo jugg at all

wanton sierra
#

i was thinkin on an build that i dont even pick Ravager, but on execute phase it is very good, we cant drop it

icy mulch
#

I'd love for Battlelord to be more viable.

wanton sierra
icy mulch
#

Or make some things like Colossus smash baseline.

wanton sierra
#

agree, battlelord makes gameplay so much smoothier, id love to get it

boreal quartz
icy mulch
#

Little things like that would really boost possible build variation.

boreal quartz
#

Blord and eb are so incredibly awful compared to rava unhinged or ep

boreal quartz
boreal quartz
#

Like we arent fury

wanton sierra
#

i think they should rework fatality... its so mehh talent to be "fartest node option"

slow saddle
#

Battlelord deffo needs a buff

#

Now its 99% feel good talent

boreal quartz
#

We get actual choice compared to them

#

Which is worth pointing out as a good thing

#

Also the bi+iftk buff makes it so much more pickable which is amazing

solar quarry

Fatality

Every time you execute a target below 35% hp gain 3% damage permanently for the remainder of the tier.

We’ll be competitive with mages by the end 😎

For raid yes. Since you need the burst for adds.

man blunt instruments is good, but i fell i lose so much aoe dam not pickin warbreaker... we shine on aoe huge dam

zinc rapids

That feels dumb

icy mulch
#

For M+ no.

If you wanna go for the biggest ms hit play like that but that's not the best dam

I dont mind op as is

Wish blord was better tho..

wanton sierra
#

we should have an talent "mortal combo"

every mortal strike shall have 30% chance of proccin again on the same target, it shall use the same stacks of the main mortal strike consumed... wombo combo, double trouble

SL mortal combo

Donk doonk

wanton sierra
#

walhe played, but sl the second one was wack

Cuz no rage cost

@thick kelp what if choice node am and enduring blow

pvp players will throw a fit about anything

PvP players can play a different game honestly 😭

boreal quartz

Ms x2 crit in CDs into exe

Dead in 2 gcds

I still think the Cataclysm arms style is the play. Make tactician reset CS. Give us a reason to spend more rage to get bigger damage windows. That fine balance of Gen and spend.

PvP MS can be tuned separately. They've proven they can do it.

where they just become

maybe 5 stack cap on Jugg too

#

Man can dream

20s duraiton

boreal quartz
# thick kelp Would solve dat

And then give TOM some long ass duration so am can force overlaps but eblow can go for big fuck dam outside of exe

Or some shi

icy mulch

Spiteful serenity doesn't even make sense.

boreal quartz
#

Am too fuck cdr

If Arms had 20s jugg we do atm get enough SD procs to stack it so we can enter execute with 15Jugg

boreal quartz
icy mulch

That would be nice

Long buff = perma stack

Low stack = giga gamba

Prefer gamba ngl

after some internet casino

i did

boreal quartz
#

It's not critcake

thick kelp
#

eblows blord EB

#

5 stack jugg

they should make tom in a way thhat it never drops if you rotate properly, just like breath of sindragosa

So it's ms and exe trees like supposed to be

Thats what me and fishy were trying to force so long in sims during beta

what if we went to s3 arms with ip still contributing to am

its still not good in PVP

how we got an buff and i didnt even know? my friends only share my nerfs

shadow ibex

It's playable now at least

wanton sierra
#

let me check wow head, damn, i got buffed and i didnt even know

shadow ibex
#

I don't think colossus is ever gonna feel good as long as players can just leave melee

boreal quartz
#

Like 20% dam increase or some crazy shit

icy mulch

Maybe before.

raven ivy
#

That is your opinion man and you can hold onto that
