#

Not if you have to tank a boss for a few seconds.

daring heron
#

DBTS can be situationally better, but ER is just universally better

balmy kindle
#

Not everyone has the privilege of playing with S tier tanks deadge

sacred zodiac
#

if you have to tank the boss for a few seconds you have other problems than whether you are fury or arms

balmy kindle
#

Yeah but this is highly dependent on the players you play with

weak wave
sacred zodiac
#

sure i also tanked a boss with dbts until a kill a few times over the years

edgy solstice
#

Again, it's niche. And feels good when it happens.

sacred zodiac
#

that doesnt change the fact that if you have to actively consider dbts tanking while the tank is dead consistently enough to prefer arms over fury you should maybe find better tank players to play with

edgy solstice
#

ER is still significantly more practical and it's why fury has better survivability

#
  • wp
balmy kindle
#

Its more of tanks getting to choose who they wanna play with okayge

sacred zodiac
#

i very much can choose who i want to play with

balmy kindle
#

Well if udm waiting in the lobby for 30-40 mins by all means

sacred zodiac
#

do you not have a guild or friends

balmy kindle
#

Obviously if you are in a guild or have alot of friends it's different

edgy solstice
#

of course not

balmy kindle
#

I am in a guild but obviously in downtimes I still pug

#

Arguements like these is kind of like : wow is a social game.

So the answer to that is so I can just buy 10 boosts every week because by social = I can pay for it lol 🤣

tranquil sundial
sacred zodiac
#

idk even in pugs the tank quality is fine enough to not warrant dbts tanking being an argument for arms ngl

edgy solstice
#

variables but yeah

#

i never really rip aggro in keys

balmy kindle
#

If you have tried tanking u would know it's kind of easy to lose aggro

tranquil sundial
#

experience since SL says its very nice to have dbts

balmy kindle
#

If you like derp a lil on dmg CDs

#

Prot tank has it easie but even still you rely alot on your cooldowns

edgy solstice
#
  • using dbts when you should be using personals anyway often leads to you not having it up when the tank dies
tranquil sundial
#

yeah but in the occasion it is up it can save a wipe

#

when tank dies suddenly

weak wave
balmy kindle
#

Still Stan for dbts because tanks can miscalculate and die

tranquil sundial
#

idk I agree, ER is better but I really enjoy playing with dtbs in keys

edgy solstice
#

i avoid fury at all costs so i'm with ya but feelsbad sometimes being the perma squishier spec

#

esp when ret/dks are fuckin invincible too

balmy kindle
#

Between ams iceforge and deaths advance it's like playing on easy mode

#

But obviously they don't have leap so there's the tradeoff

sacred zodiac
#

@swift crown do i need dbts to play with you or are you humanoid

edgy solstice
#

rets are warrs with immunes and dks are warrs with another 300k hp

sacred zodiac
#

more than 300k surely

edgy solstice
#

err

#

3mil

balmy kindle
#

If you count AMS and AMZ it's prolly infinity sadge

edgy solstice
#

we got rally and baseline 5% avoidance tho

sacred zodiac
#

and dstance and sr

balmy kindle
#

copium yes rallying cry

#

Spell reflects nice but will take current AMS anydayokayge

remote ledge
#

What is the m+ build that is cooking for arms rn

edgy solstice
#

microwaving instant ramen at best

silent flame
#

Warrior

remote ledge
#

Is there no chinese arms warrior that came through with some weird talents?

edgy solstice
#

same build as the colossus m+ talents in the wowhead guide except no torment

#

torment is bait

balmy kindle
#

Colo everywhere else but GB and DB slayer maybe

edgy solstice
#

nah slayer kinda dead in keys now

balmy kindle
#

Low Target count pulls it's still better tho arguably

thick kelp
#

Jugg Slayer goes hard

edgy solstice
#

jugg used to be the play in grimmy b/city

balmy kindle
#

The main perk I see in Colo is the shockwave talent we get

#

4s stun or 5 cd reduction and knock up

#

It's not much but considering how op caster thrash can be I would argue brown class good

remote ledge
#

I do mostly 8 to 11 keys and play a very low amount of time, what spec would suit better, arms or fury? I like both but I feel like doing low dmg as fury idk

balmy kindle
#

Fury has better aoe tho if your group has good st dmg

edgy solstice
#

Thane is more appropiate for lower level keys now. More sustained dps

balmy kindle
#

Would say you can stay fury

edgy solstice
#

But so is colo

slow saddle
#

Fury better st

sacred zodiac
slow saddle
#

Than colo

edgy solstice
#

why

slow saddle
#

So fury overall

edgy solstice
#

tanks aren't doubling any packs

#

unless you know some giga tank who is steamrolling 7s for some reason

#

most people dont

balmy kindle
#

Legit below tank boss dmg

sacred zodiac
#

then the furys you see or play with are garbage nothing new

balmy kindle
#

Yeah but if there's this much garbage no one's gonna take brown class

edgy solstice
#

these are the two i mostly rotate between now but tbh i haven't really touched keys since d4 came out. OAM with first, arterial with 2nd

sacred zodiac
#

shocking news: bad players play every class and spec imaginable

#

public perception is usually not formed around the worst of each spec otherwise no keys would ever be ran

balmy kindle
sacred zodiac
#

idk man i roll fdks all the time i dont see any fdk buffs coming

slow saddle
#

🤣

balmy kindle
#

I mean fury war and FDK players kind of overlap sokeks

#

Your fotm FDK probably just picked it up because it's op now

#

And it's kind of easy to play since BOS is not mandatory

steep osprey
#

BoS is easy to play

edgy solstice
#

ya breath was never hard to begin with. liable to be cucked by tanks tho

balmy kindle
#

It's mostly because losing breath feels terrible

frigid cipher
#

Riders is definitely easier though. And better in most keys people are doing

remote ledge
edgy solstice
#

jugg is way ahead but jugg is also dead in keys

slow saddle
#

Thats slayer no?

edgy solstice
#

ya

#

colo jugg doesn't exist

slow saddle
#

Ye thats rough to play

#

Ive tried

edgy solstice
#

it was manageable in low target dungeons before the nerfs

slow saddle
#

St dmg good, but not that much bettrt than thane

quasi torrent
#

its better, but not crazy better at all.

edgy solstice
#

but slayer arms got sniped for some reason xd

slow saddle
#

Esp if a bl is involved

remote ledge
#

Then what does arms have for himself

slow saddle
#

Raid

#

2 bosses

edgy solstice
#

ST/2T in raid and Colo in keys

slow saddle
#

Court+ princess

#

Colo rly just needs an st bf

#

Well slayer could use ms buff

edgy solstice
#

so could colo

sacred zodiac
#

can play fury on kyveza now

slow saddle
#

Yeye coz its not a race

#

Or it is to live

sacred zodiac
#

damage difference is negligible and warpaint is nice

slow saddle
#

Fury excells at living

sacred zodiac
#

and ER healing is very nice for intermission

edgy solstice
#

colo is the ms hero talent spec and it still doesn't feel special pressing it unless it's propped up by 2x tier, 2x ep, 10 stacks of CM on target

slow saddle
#

Well coz baseline ms bad

gaunt owl
slow saddle
#

Warlords torment....

edgy solstice
#

good thing it was nerfed by 20

#

ya

#

xd

slow saddle
#

Needs buff

#

Rework tbh

gaunt owl
#

Sometimes i wanna know why they tune the way they do

#

Seriously cluegi dev

#

Nerfing Fury slayer

#

And we catch strays on that

slow saddle
#

Aura nerf had been better in prepatch

gaunt owl
#

And Fury slayer isnt even good ST

slow saddle
#

Nope

#

Warrior is rough

#

Vs most other

edgy solstice
#

ya i love arms catching a bladestorm nerf when we're bottom 5 m+ dps

slow saddle
#

To the st talent

#

😅

edgy solstice
#

nah this was before

slow saddle
#

True

#

Overwhelming nerf why btw?

edgy solstice
#

the overwhelming nerf didn't go through

#

stayed at 12

sacred zodiac
#

overwhelm nerf is ptr no

edgy solstice
#

i thought i read it was supposed to go through in last balance update but i might be wrong

#

arms is really down bad if that's still incoming

thick kelp
#

its ognna go live with 0.5 patch

ionic reef
#

when it comes to overall damage and feel you guys pref colossus or slayer?

edgy solstice
#

overall? colo. feel? eh. colo can be clunky and desyncs a lot so i feel more people would say slayer

ionic reef
#

i noticed that colossus does more aoe(not as much as fury) and slayer arms does a good amount of single target(more than fury) im looking at the stats on archon.gg says colossus is out performing slayer but it doesnt acutally seem like

#

it

#

think im gonna stick with slayer as that feels better. that said why do you think colossus feel clunky

edgy solstice
#

AM + Demo cdr makes your cds all wonky

#

It's not that bad after awhile of playing it tho

#

imo

#

Demo itself just feels weird sometimes too. Tanks cancelling it, using sweeping for the first two hits of it, small range

echo monolith
#

agree with all of the above. that being said it feels good to just big smash a pack with demo

austere hamlet
#

can someone link a slayer juggernaut m+ build theyre using?

boreal quartz
#

That's rlly it

edgy solstice
#

I kept sks but yeah p much

Overwhelm nerf goes live in 2 weeks along side the aoe hit soft caps

#

Arms taking strays from fury single button success story

#

#just nerf bladestorm fuck fury and its better bladestorm

edgy solstice
#

it's ok

fresh spire
#

Give fury arms bladestorm with extra damage

#

Problem solved

edgy solstice
#

when we start scaling with our tier set, it'll be ok

#

right back to being top 3

#

No EP is incredibly sus

#

esp for slayer

#

But it was a dawnbreaker so eh

fresh spire
#

Tbf ep isn't that insane as execute is most your damage. Its still good for sg

fresh spire
#

Like interms of St sins even then ep isn't even that strong

remote ledge
fresh spire
#

Was trying to kill it off with custom apl got it down to like 15k

remote ledge
#

That's the build he ran in every 13 keys, not only dawnbreaker, don't lie idk?

#

I told you earlier this morning there are some chemical Chinese builds we didn't think of

thick kelp
#

Bold to say we didnt think of

fresh spire
#

Issue with ep in slayer is that Ms is shittttt

remote ledge
#

Well I asked earlier and people said no, I guess bleed build is funnier than jugg

fresh spire
#

It only gets worth pressing when you got 2 stacks of tier in execute

remote ledge
#

Ans no eu or us is running those builds

thick kelp
#

His exact build was simmed and in the sims it was performing bad. But Sim isnt a real situation in a dungeon so it was hard to replicate

#

the reason people are running other builds is cuz they have been simmed and seen to perform well

edgy solstice
#

Aoe builds are always a clusterfuck

thick kelp
#

Also his build will deal around same dps as VDH on bosses

#

maybe even less

gritty karma
#

yo gamers what stats do i put on my crafted weapon

swift crown
gritty karma
#

crit haste?

thick kelp
#

and he randomly is running massacre which is very weak as a ST node

remote ledge
#

I'm all for suggestions, I love bleed builds and wanted to know more about this one

edgy solstice
#

Tbf I'm normally anti-sims when it comes to m+ as well but this build just seems weird

thick kelp
#

You can run his build

edgy solstice
#

I need a log

thick kelp
#

but I would move the massacre point

#

To either EP or Blord

#

Massacre is just a shit node without the other execute talents being pared with it

remote ledge
sacred zodiac
thick kelp
#

Also this guys build would perform alot better as colossus

quasi torrent
#

spongie prot is a hard skip for me 👍

sacred zodiac
edgy solstice
#

Yeah my main ? is why slayer

thick kelp
#

Like here is his build but with Colossus

remote ledge
thick kelp
#

U take Art bleeding

#

For more bleeds

#

and u swap massacre node to Blord

edgy solstice
#

With those talents, he was surely just hitting cleave the entire key

thick kelp
#

He has to be his ST is pitiful with the build originally posted

quasi torrent
fresh spire
#

Eb ms cleave and mbg with aterial is a sin

#

If your going to play eb/mbg you don't play bleed amp

thick kelp
#

Is this better chatting

remote ledge
fresh spire
#

Drop 1 point in execute and take torment at this point

#

If your taking spear

edgy solstice
#

ngl

fresh spire
#

Spear is so shit in arms

edgy solstice
#

That should be the build

edgy solstice
#

But it's not

fresh spire
#

Gotta love wasting a gcd during mgb window

edgy solstice
#

Make fatality proc immediately at 30 instead of on execute too

#

Gimme

# thick kelp Skill issue

I'm sure these Chinese guys don't play demo cos they hate it and they just go fast

Prolly some stupid thing like "I don't like being rooted" no more explanation

thick kelp
#

if u want some insight into china community

#

go watch this guy

#

he speaks english

#

but raids and plays in china

#

Streamed their prog recently

remote ledge
#

It's unfortunate I only have mastery ring and enchants, but imma give them both a try this afternoon, his and yours as demo

remote ledge
fresh spire
#

Mastery not so bad in colossus

#

You just wanna try get some crit

#

Try get some new rings/neck from keys for em

thick kelp
#

crit mastery on your jewelry should be enough

remote ledge
#

I have like 11k mastery haste each, 6k5 crit. I'll check my inventory for crit rings

remote ledge
astral zephyr
#

Question, should I avoiding sending MS without 2 stacks of MP?

#

Or just full send if I have at least one MP

edgy solstice
#

Generally avoid

astral zephyr
#

Avoid 1 stack MP MS?

edgy solstice
#

Assuming raid, you ms only when you have 2x EP and 2x tier

#

And if you have 2x tier, then you have 2x mp

sacred zodiac
#

martial prowess has no impact on your rotation

edgy solstice
#

So ya you can just ignore mp

sacred zodiac
#

ok it technically does in execute with overpower but that conditional is not real

thick kelp
#

it also does in aoe when you have collat damage 🤓

sacred zodiac
#

no one has ever played arms in aoe before

austere hamlet
thick kelp
#

big fuk dam

austere hamlet
#

I see

#

So the scaling is multiplicative? Idk how scaling in wow works

boreal quartz
#

It's just fucked

remote ledge
#

Oh and @thick kelp for the Chinese build on either slayer or your version as colo
Are there any rotational changes? Or emphasis on some parts? Thanks

thick kelp
#

thats basically it

remote ledge
#

In exec range, do we still send ms on cd since it doesn't have many exec multipliyers?

thick kelp
#

Ye

#

prio is MS op op exe

#

whenever you dont have EP and/or Jugg

astral zephyr
thick kelp
#

Executioners Precision = EP
Tier stacks = Lethal Blows

thick kelp
# astral zephyr So many acronyms 💀 what is EP? And tier stacks are Lethal Blows right?

EP - Executioner's Precision
SkS - Skullsplitter
AM - Anger Management
WB - Warbreaker
IFTK - In for the Kill
ToM - Test of Might
SS - Sweeping Strikes
CS - Colossus Smash
MS - Mortal Strike
OP - Overpower
TR/Troar - Thunderous Roar
EB - Exhilarating Blows
BL/Blord - Battlelord
MfE - Marked for Execution
MP - Martial Prowess
MBG - Merciless Bonegrinder
LB = Lethal Blows (Tierset)

astral zephyr
thick kelp
#

👍

astral zephyr
#

So wait if it’s a single target raid fight

#

It’s a big nono to MS outside of 2xEP and 2xLB

thick kelp
#

well not a big nono but a dps loss yes

#

Even if you get so unlucky your 1x LB buff falls off, you still continue to execute

#

till both conditions are met

astral zephyr
#

So what changes outside of the execute window except keepin up rend n all that

#

I feel so fucking stupid playing this specc 💀

austere hamlet
thick kelp
#

I mean outside of execute window

#

its justpressing MS on cd

#

filling with both op charges

#

and if nothing else slam

#

Refresh rend whenever the duration of it is below 6 seconds

#

If its about to fall off hit it

#

You should have 100% rend uptime

astral zephyr
#

Gonna try and improve my downtown tomorrow when I raid

remote ledge
#

Careful cos tr is also titanic rage as fury lol

raven atlas
#

do a quick sim and mimic it as best as possible yep

thick kelp
#

In execute if your Rend and/or Deep Wounds are about to fall off hit MS regardless of tier and Ep

thick kelp
astral zephyr
#

Been reading the guide of maxroll now over and over again

boreal quartz
#

Now practice on a dummy

astral zephyr
#

What’s a good duration window to test out

#

2 min?

thick kelp
#

5mins

boreal quartz
#

As long as u feel like

thick kelp
#

10mins

#

My record is 55mins

Done it for everyspec I play

Not everyone can learn like that but

and I also always have a personal note displaying the opener sequence of the spec I am learning

Just perma loaded spell icon

thick kelp
#

Liquid reminders is funny for this tho

boreal quartz
#

Yes

#

It's sooo good

thick kelp
#

You can have it tell your opener mid fight

boreal quartz
#

Incredibly addon

astral zephyr
thick kelp
#

I sure am glad that I most definetly did not go to raid leader exchange and definetly did not search and definetly did not get the WA from there

astral zephyr
#

I also need to make a WA for EP and LB

boreal quartz
#

Do not search fuck paywalled addons

sacred zodiac
#

checking

boreal quartz
#

Then again id actually 1 time pay a 10er for that addon

sacred zodiac
#

not checking i mean

boreal quartz
#

It's rlly good

thick kelp
#

Not paying shit

#

Liquid already has enough money

give the guy a pay raise or smth

But still slayer

icy mulch
boreal quartz
#

Idk compared to what i normally play on slayer

#

Itd be zero

#

Since i bi jugg

icy mulch
#

Massacre without Jugg would feel worse. If this is M+ though, you're not getting high stacks of Jugg.

#

At least not reliably.

boreal quartz
#

I accept less aoe for more st

icy mulch
#

I've had a lot of fun in M+ with the Colossus Arms build. Just really annoying when I have a full stacked Demo and the tank decides to kite the pack away mid animation.

remote ledge
#

You can't deny that it looks funky

wanton sierra
#

it happens!

remote ledge

The guy playing it is 3k1 arms main Chinese

It prolly works

The guy playing it also has a full premade and runs keys every hour he is awake

why cant i check his gear?

That's all I can get too

plays as slayers, it seems

remote ledge
#

Yes, with the build I sent
We are missing something, way more logical than just him being stupid

Ik Americans are how they are but cmon

#

he did fewer keys than me

#

almost 630ilvl, with premade friedns with meta cclasses xD

remote ledge

#

Hidden secret to pushing io, friends with meta classes

#

or friends even

#

dont even need to be meta

raven atlas
#

friends are fake, pugs are the true homies

plucky fern
#

yeah you guys overthink too much
he just plays build that he likes
doesnt mean its the best build

#

we dont even have evidence that he does any significant damage

wanton sierra
#

the amount of dungeons is the impreesive part... ppl that has his score has like 100+ 10s... he got 14

plucky fern
#

no videos with him playin

#

also idk might be boosted char

thick kelp
#

You cna go see his logs

#

His stone vault for example

plucky fern
#

yeah outdamaged by aug

thick kelp
#

edna damage

wanton sierra
#

daaaaiummn! and he is slayer, its supossed to deal decent st, right ?

thick kelp
#

Yep

#

But since his build isnt great

plucky fern
#

it supposed to beat fdk on st

thick kelp
#

he doesn

plucky fern
#

100%

#

thats the purpose of existence for arms slayer

#

do st dam

wanton sierra
#

damn 1.3 overall with an aug is not that much.. i think pools need to be smaller coz of key level, so i might be wrong

#

boosted it is?

plucky fern
#

logs dont count aug damage i believe

latent moss
#

pulls only get bigger

plucky fern
#

all damage there is redistributed to dragon

wanton sierra
plucky fern
#

but yeah 1.3overall is cringe

#

people doing 2mil without aug

latent moss
wanton sierra
plucky fern
#

also most of this keys were done in a few sessions so clearly boosted

#

and even uploading logs for that is kinda shameless

#

xd

thick kelp
#

I think its the Augs logs

#

from checking

wanton sierra
plucky fern
#

not really

thick kelp
#

Because his build isnt great

plucky fern
#

you can look videos of people doing 15

#

pools are even crazier

#

because timer is tough

#

you have to pull big

#

and do insane dmg

#

otherwise no way to finish

#

in time

wanton sierra
#

yes i agree! the way i said that is confusing... i think that on hier levels, bigger pools... fuckin portuguese -> eng translation that fucks me xD

#

his build is bad

plucky fern
#

well tbh i dont think theres a good build for arms in m+ now
ive kinda gave up and just playing fury thane because in +12 keys i cba playing with 5 mil hp

#

arms needs defensive buffs

#

😦

wanton sierra
#

how much hp fury thane has? i got 5400000

plucky fern
#

if i pick the victory rush node that also has stam on it

#

i have 6.5mil

#

unbuff

#

and in arms its like what 5.4 or smth

#

and 10% dr from talents on top

#

cant compete as arms sadly

wanton sierra
#

warpaint has some dr too right?

plucky fern
#

yea im talking about warpaint

#

10%

#

dr

wanton sierra
#

we got that lil healing from colossus, but i think it should be hier, like... if it procs, it shall work until you reach 80% hp

plucky fern
#

yeah healing is cool but still feels not strong enough

#

you can maybe see 250k hps in aoe situations with full bleed build

wanton sierra
#

also col has some DR when we demolish

plucky fern
#

still nothing if you die in one shot

#

and ignore pain is a joke

#

500k shield

#

xd

#

at best

wanton sierra
#

1.6mil, it got buffed? i still think its low

plucky fern
#

tooltip is wrong

#

press it and look at buff tooltip

#

for some reason its 500k

wanton sierra
#

its not even talented xD

plucky fern
#

if it actually gave 1.6mil shield

#

maybe arms would be playable in higher keys

latent moss
#

arms is more than playable in high keys

wanton sierra
#

col got an nodle that buffs ip... no stranger than pain.. 20% more shield

latent moss
#

what are u on about

wanton sierra
#

elaborate

plucky fern
#

ok maybe wrong word

#

would be good in keys

#

because anything is playable

latent moss
#

no it wouldnt

plucky fern
#

if you are getting carried

#

by meta specs

latent moss
#

arms doesnt deal damage

#

compared to meta specs

#

if you think arms needs more defensives idk what to tell you

plucky fern
#

you didnt understand what i was talking about but w/e

#

arms needs damage as well thats true

icy mulch
#

Ret, Fdk, Shaman are the outliners right now. So good luck keeping up with a semi decent one.

latent moss
#

arms is legit the last to die

#

if u know how to press buttons preemptively

brisk slate
# plucky fern tooltip is wrong

Tool tip is badly worded for IP. It shows the maximum value you can possibly have on IP, hence the 'up to ...' part. Does around 533k in this case, as the maximum is around 3x the absorb value per cast. Health also plays a role in the calculation somewhere, as does AP, but I'm currently not sure how.

bronze wharf
#

i got ~350k with it, no idea what it scales with

icy mulch
#

Boomie is only good when you can pull 20 mobs. Mage about the same. It sucks all around for non-meta classes. Worse for us because (as usual) lack of utility.

plucky fern
wanton sierra
#

Nerf meta to become close to us, mortals

latent moss
#

it cant be said for any other class

icy mulch
plucky fern
#

im talking about some other classes can survive way more mistakes or just simply ignore mechanics

icy mulch
#

At ranged no less.

plucky fern
#

you have to play perfectly as arms no not die and do any damage at the same time

#

yeah i can stay in dstance forever and LoS every mechanic

#

will not die

#

thats true

latent moss

????????

oh no my mortal strike is gonna hit for 50k less!

#

thats why u think arms is squishy

plucky fern
#

did you do any 12+ as arms

#

mr clappa

#

or is that just feelcraft

wanton sierra
#

Oh boy

plucky fern
#

because i can tell you im not going back to 12 grim batol as arms ever again

dim basalt
#

Arms is fairly squishy

latent moss
#

not a single class wants to go to grim batol

dim basalt
#

Just the fact that most other melees have at least half a million more hp is enough

bronze wharf
#

yeah its literally the worst dungeon

latent moss
#

the fact that the dungeon didnt get gutted

#

in half

#

still is crazy

icy mulch
#

I did laugh when I was tanking a 10 GB, watched the hunter and Aug voker fall over to the commanding roar on first boss.

wanton sierra
#

Long ass dungeon

plucky fern
#

yeah imagine pressing dstance on every single mechanic

#

literally on cd on some bosses

#

fun gameplay

#

meanwhile fury thane can not even press ER once and still survive

latent moss
#

arms having legit 0 stamina is disgusting i agree

wanton sierra
#

I do stance dance

icy mulch
latent moss
#

clappa is just hilarious

#

defensively

dim basalt
latent moss
#

u have more dr passively than classes with mini defensives

plucky fern
#

so we can agree that arms defensives suck huh?

#

that was my entire point

latent moss
#

they dont?

wanton sierra
#

XD

latent moss
#

spell reflect legit 2nd most busted defensive after ams

icy mulch
plucky fern
#

its 'warrior' defensives not arms specific
im mostly just comparing two dps specs for high keys

plucky fern
icy mulch
#

Troll gonna troll?

plucky fern
#

i guess

latent moss
twilit burrow
#

So is fury going to be better than arms st now?

icy mulch
#

Using D stance should only ever be a last ditch effort or on something you know is about to happen. Perfect example is the commanding roar boss and mobs in SoB. They made the lockout and GCD just too clunky to be on the fly.

wanton sierra
#

yes, osaliske king!

bronze wharf
#

dstance is no gcd

plucky fern
#

he probably means 4 seconds cd on stance dance

misty bridge
#

isn't a maxxed out IP 1.6m?

plucky fern
#

which is really annoying

icy mulch
#

She does.

wanton sierra
#

i spell reflect and die by the sword... if i know i need to press somethiung or i die i press ds

plucky fern
wanton sierra
#

the amount of rage for shield should at least be the amount of rage per dam we do on MS for exemple

misty bridge
#

I mean it is, but not very likely in a m+ setting

wanton sierra
#

jesus even i dont understand what i write

wanton sierra
#

fixxed

#

DAMN ITS LOWER xD

#

shieeet

plucky fern
#

it should either have no cd or give max value in one cast otherwise its a dead skill

#

but even with no cd it should also cost less then

#

im not spending 60 rage for that

misty bridge
#

1.6m shield for 60 rage?

plucky fern
#

like 10 rage per cast i guess

#

30 rage for 1.6m is like...fine

icy mulch
#

And yes, ignore pain is mostly trivial but better than d stance.

plucky fern
#

its not because dstance is baseline and for IP you have to spend point in the spec tree

#

and arms is already one of the most point starved specs

wanton sierra
#

IP should contribute with AM thats would be better

tacit crystal
#

shit was too strong

misty bridge
tacit crystal
#

got removed

wanton sierra
#

yes yes i was there i know

#

but no war picks IP now, if it worked like before, i think ppl would at least pick it

#

its not like we are swimmin on rage now

misty bridge
#

it would be another locked talent you can never talent out of

plucky fern
#

i doubt it would be too strong now

#

rage situation is different

#

you cant spam it on cd

astral zephyr
boreal quartz
#

If ip just gave more youd see it again

wanton sierra
#

how about:

Ignore pain - 20 rage 11sec cooldown - the very next damage you recieve shall be 50% less (just like spell reflect reflection) but no dr passive or anything

plucky fern
#

yeah sounds pretty good

#

so blizzard will never allow that

remote ledge
#

It's way too good

plucky fern
#

instead we will get 15% of SD damage leeched badck

#

enjoy 50k heals!

#

will definetly help

icy mulch
#

The PVP cry babies, I can hear them already.

wanton sierra
#

i mean, if you press it wrong, it will prevent an lil tic... so its needed to be tatical ^^

#

yes pvpwise would be busted

plucky fern
#

same old story

#

too strong because pvp

#

too strong because fury

wanton sierra
#

damn im just tryin to get some ideas to get our class better without bustin it

plucky fern
#

arms is just forever catching strays

wanton sierra
#

we should have an baseline avoidance

remote ledge
plucky fern
#

ip has cd

#

in arms it does

remote ledge
#

11s cmooon

wanton sierra
#

11 sec

remote ledge
#

Every aoe every targettable

nimble yoke
#

lol 50% damage taken from a mechanic/attack every 11sec

#

insane

plucky fern
#

number can be tuned but i like the concept tbh

#

30% dr with like 20-25 cd

#

could work

acoustic mulch
#

quick question: should i craft a 636 - 2hand Ascendance wep or pray for a myth track wep in vault?

plucky fern
#

maybe even 20 dr

remote ledge
icy mulch
#

Unless you also play Fury.

plucky fern
#

craft ascendance, get wep from vault and reroll fury

#

this plan cant go wrong

wanton sierra
#

the wrong part is the fury part

icy mulch
#

I play all three specs.

#

My gearing is pretty hilarious.

plucky fern
#

i hate fury but thane is at least some fun

icy mulch
#

I love the stomp lightning theme. Better than the whirlwind stuff.

tender ermine
#

In m+ do we take warbreaker? I saw some videos recommending CS so thought I'd ask for clarification

plucky fern
#

its still debatable

#

if you are playing colossus warbreaker is probably better because in m+ everything reloves around trash pulls and you want that big burst damage

wanton sierra
#

yes we take eldritch... i do take it, its tons of aoe

plucky fern
#

if you are playing slayer arms ~~just reroll fury ~~ i guess CS is better

tender ermine
#

Ah so it's also hero spec dependant?

remote ledge
#

I like warbringer

plucky fern
#

kinda

#

slayer really loves haste and blunt instuments extend duration of in for the kill by 3 seconds

#

which kinda works for aoe too

#

and for st its big damage increase

#

so its reasonable

#

for colossus not so much

tender ermine
#

I'll give CS a try next dungeon then, I hadn't even considered it

wanton sierra
#

fingers crossed

icy mulch
#

I have 3 heroic raid options, 3 mythic dungeon, and 2 t8 delve options.

wanton sierra
#

mythic options!!! i mean i got only 1 mythic piece, and its an ring... anything would be upgrade

#

hope that i dont get trash trinks

plucky fern
#

if i dont get a good trinket from vault im deleting my warrior

#

34 grim batol runs 22 stonevault runs

#

still nothing

do you think beeig the boon is nice? thinked about building this for buffing my arms friend when i tank 😄

i've never even seen it drop for anybody

I c ara dropp all the time

#

Just not for me😅

#

Even had 2 friends get it in the run with me

plucky fern
#

ara i got it seem to have very high drop chance

#

everyone in my m+ group has it since week one

#

but that damn gb/sv trinket is killing me

slow saddle
#

Gb is like all old dungeons

#

To big loot table

#

I got normal princess and .. a delve trinket🤣

#

That being said havent been super active so cant complain that much

plucky fern

ritual knife from delves is a decent trinket btw

#

hey, that enginner bress, anyone can use it now?

zealous hemlock
#

Yeah anyone can use the jumper cables

#

the quality determines the cast time

wanton sierra
#

so it changes nothing if im enginner?

zealous hemlock
#

I don't think so? Not sure if it can fail but it never did for me so I would assume it cannot

wanton sierra
#

im enginner, i do bress ppl but it never failed me... i mean, i bressed like 3 times xD

icy mulch
wanton sierra
#

man im enginner coz i like the gadgets... invis belt, glider cape, and bress when needed... now anyone can bress

#

and coz im enginner in RL xD there is some rp

#

alchemist still has more time on potions and flasks? i may change it

I do enjoy my 2hr flasks

I do not enjoy tier 3 weapon oil....

At least the price of it.

Mana oil cheap

I wish the crafted neck didn't suck so much. Would love to have 3 sockets.

wanton sierra
#

is it bc we can only 2 sockets now?

icy mulch
#

No, it's because the stat allotment is low for the neck.

#

Well, good luck in vault folks. The time is close.

wanton sierra
#

you too master osaliske, good luck

wheat mica

need a juicy trink or rare ring/neck

for colossus, I would say so. Well I mean the optimal would be around 18 to 19k based on what my sims show but I dont care. Give me those demolish crits.

a 500 dps diff between the trinket replacing a 616 and the ring replacing a 619 with a socket...

colossus will for sure go way above that

Hi all, for the Culminating gem. Should i follow raidbots or actually use unique gems for the crit % bonus?

nova marsh

use unquie gems

I think even raid bots will support that

thank you sir, cos somehow raidbots is asking me to use all the same gems 😦

To be fair, the crit gem's effect is p minor

So, Colossus became the new shit for M+, do you guys still go for Slayer in Raids as arms? (HC / Mythic)

nova marsh
#

Yes

#

I think colo is still okay in raids now

chrome bramble
#

so colossus is better now for M+? hows the single target with it better than slayer ?

nova marsh
#

No

#

It's worse

#

But not by much. but if ur ST focused, slayer is the way to go

chrome bramble
#

just thinking about the affix this week

vague nova
#

Someone said if you run like unholy Aug arms you could go slayer but usually colossus is more suited for m+

nova marsh
#

If you're min maxing that hard

#

sure

#

But it's not as if Slayer is just unviable

#

Both are fine

chrome bramble
#

always find myself in the middle in terms of dps, the group i run with has strong aoe so i try to focus on ST, i find thats where i stand out running slayer

#

ty for the words

nova marsh
#

Slayers strengths is it's well rounded

#

You have good aoe and good st

#

sigh pugs pugs pugs

#

Can't do the first boss of city of threads apparently

Pugs demoralize me so much. Doing my time walking before reset I’m triple anyone else’s dps and two separate groups in a row bricked a TW dungeon and we couldn’t finish lmao. The pugs are miserable this season

nova marsh

How

#

HOW DO YOU BRICK A TW DUNGEON?

vague nova
#

That’s exactly what I typed in g chat as it happened the first time

#

One group 3/4 couldn’t understand you had to run from the boss that turns into lightning balls you can’t kill And just died to them 3 times and everyone left.

Was Dstance?

Did your healer throw anything on you?

in that case you're fuuuckkkeeddd

DBS was used on first breath

Yea back to back is unlucky.

i couldnt

Back to back is basically the boss deciding "ha ha you die"

What's ur other trinket

tepid citrus

oh well

maybe 12's is the wall

because the ST is horrid right now in 12's it feels like

fervent glen
#

619 skyterror, probably will get replaced from raid this week judging from others luck getting heroic trinkets lol

nova marsh
#

So

#

According to not even close

#

with my character stats, without DBTS you just die to reach at a 12

#

and that's at 616

#

Interstingly enough actually, according to cal evreything below a 12 heaving wretch is completely livable with just Dstance and SR

even in raid

during execute IF YOU ARE COLOSSUS

only slayer needs to track it

I didn’t really care for NW myself because of third boss bricks

Stitchflesh is the entire problem with necrotic wake

I mean the only boss I kinda like is Narathor

does anyone have a recommended talent page for colossus? or should i stick with slayer? new to arms and warrior in general and trying to decide if i should play fury or arms

nova marsh

Either or is fine

#

Reccomended talent page should be on wowhead or #dps-faq

livid cloak
#

What experience have people had without mbg?

nova marsh
#

Pretty good results

#

Well

#

depends. Slayer or colo

livid cloak
#

I usually only get 3 cleaves in mbg, sometimes 2 when I mess up, I get 2

nova marsh
#

(probally colo, in which case I dunno)

livid cloak
#

Yeah colossus

#

I don't particularly like the talent

open mango
#

is blunt instruments or warbreaker better for m+?

livid cloak
#

Both have uses

#

I prefer warbreaker but blunt is a big st increase

remote ledge

do you guys play colo or slayer for dawnbreaker ?

#

i find demo clunky there but last boss no exec is also clunky

nova marsh

Yall

better be right about colo
