whats new

Can you put duskthread lining on a weapon?

#

What the heck happened to Arms yesterday? I was competing with tanks for DPS in heroic raid farm last night. (Slight exageration, but still nuts)

tacit crystal
#

i dont believe so

empty sluice
#

Give me back ss+bs combo

spare flame
#

Didn’t see anything that should have tanked us in patch notes…

worn quiver
#

so i was looking at the arms best gear guide and when i got to the crafted section
i found this under crafting order

fervent glen
#

is sweeping strikes animation just straight up broken for any other taurens?

fervent glen
#

cool, good to know im not crazy

signal coyote
#

as far as i can tell the ability itself is bugged

#

need to test it out on dummies

fervent glen
#

i mean, im a little crazy to still be playing arms buuut

shadow ibex
#

its p grim

empty sluice
#

Yea you can compete with prot pal

shadow ibex
#

with bugs

cloud gyro
karmic reef
#

is reap the storm from unhinged broken on arms too?

cloud gyro
#

yep

astral talon
#

how thhe fuck did blizz actually manage to break fucking execute aniimation when sweeping???????

signal coyote
#

okay i tested it, sweeping strikes does work but the animation is broken

karmic reef
cloud gyro
#

if you play female tauren your cleaves damage numbers show up 1 second later

signal coyote
#

but either way, we are expected to not play warrior this season so there's just another reason

shadow ibex
#

never seen a patch go back to CN levels

fervent glen
#

shoulda just lived my survival hunter dreams

shadow ibex
#

kudos to bliz

cloud gyro
#

i think theyre just slowly gaslighting us into playing demolish

worn quiver
#

is warbreaker not the play anymore for m+ and using collossus smash one instead?

thorn pelican
#

bringing slayers st down to demolish tier isnt exactly what i was hoping for to balance the specs

signal coyote
#

the play is to play fury mountain thane in m+ in my experience, but idk after the new nerfs

worn quiver
#

i dont think arms has access to mountain thane?

signal coyote
#

you have access to switch to fury 😄

#

sorry im salty af

regal wharf
#

i fucking hate blizzard

thick kelp
#

Technically we are

#

since aug hooks are broken

#

xdd

shadow ibex
#

kudos for turning patch to CN levels mid season

#

really outdid themselves

tacit crystal
potent cedar
#

I like how

#

all 3 classes/specs I wanted to play this season

tacit crystal
#

are bad

#

🙂

potent cedar
#

just get either gutted or straight up broken

tacit crystal
#

yam make a dk with me

#

come come

potent cedar
#

I have a dk

#

but they've made frost worse

tacit crystal
#

play uh

potent cedar
#

so I gotta go unholy lmao

tacit crystal
#

its better

remote swallow
#

Hey guys what spec are you guys running in keys ?

tacit crystal
#

all

teal fossil
#

Ele sham

remote swallow
#

i meant as Arms

potent cedar
#

I was enjoying enh but they literally broke the spec

tacit crystal
#

as arms there is aoe slayer jugg art bleed one against many and fishy

remote swallow
#

Aight

regal wharf
#

im still gonna play arms because i love arms

#

but like

#

literally

#

why

potent cedar
#

maybe I'll just install hekili and play fury

regal wharf
#

all you had to do

#

was nerf fury a bit

#

why did we get strays

potent cedar
#

dude

#

this whole season has been constant strays

#

IRRELEVANT shit getting nerfed for no reason

#

fury pads a little so nuke the entire class into the ground

#

I'm bitter

tacit crystal
#

yam learning fury isnt hard

#

you dont need hekili

random wasp
#

fury is piss simple
(and fun)

#

specially if you're playing RA

slow saddle
#

Just dont look details

livid cloak
#

I get bored on fury after 2 or 3 dungeons

#

Idk

zenith dagger
#

fury is def funner than last xpac but i liked the randomness of arms damage in s4 it made it rlly fun in keys, give me big whirlwind back plz

river ridge
zenith dagger
#

that might be an unpopular opinion cuz arms aoe rotation was kind of a mess but i liked it

spare flame
#

Starting to feel Fury may be an appropriate direction sadly….time to re-gear for opposite stat priority (thanks Blizzard).. Arms feels proc heavy this season but fun to play, just discouraging when you feel like you nailed it on a fight and a tanks DPS is nipping at your heels.

warped ether
#

is sweeping strikes working correctly ?

zenith dagger
#

p sure its just the animation thats bugged

warped ether
#

it dosent spread my ms at times it seems like

#

i swear it dosent work at times

spare flame
#

If it’s bugging that may explain some of the DPS losses

icy mulch
half vine
#

There are no bugs at all in this patch. In fact I think all the devs deserve a 50% salary bonus payout for how great this one patch has truly been

spare flame
icy mulch
#

I wanted to start Arms, felt like ass. Tried fury, gutted... well, I was already tanking for keys with friends and guild. Stuck with it.

austere hamlet
#

are u still running this on ovinax? I'm trying colo on it rn and it seems to slap

half vine
#

Best patch in modern wow history

sick gazelle
#

plus as dps u can just watch what your tanks are doing and copy them

icy mulch
#

Do you find you have trouble spending rage at times?

loud wadi
#

SS still bugged?

icy mulch
#

I have a bunch of routes I cooked up. Not MDI shit, but more focused on pulls for big aoe, rest pull, etc.

#

I can say they are very efficient with count. Nothing silly required Ala shroud, invis pots, etc.

astral talon
icy mulch
# astral talon no

I'll have to give it a go. I found the last time I played BL & EB I was rage capping with nothing but slam to spam.

steel ferry
#

colossus have any bug?

icy mulch
#

Yes, not enough dps.
keks

livid cloak
valid flame
livid cloak
#

Colossus 1.8m dps, not enough

vagrant ridge
#

How hard did arms get nerfed ST? Simming lower than fury now

regal wharf
#

only above aug

#

lmao

tacit crystal
#

wrong

#

aug logs have been broken for over a year

#

aug is not bottom ever

vagrant ridge
#

Had a 60k + sim advantage over arms

#

its just gone

#

22k behind now

slow saddle
#

Arms is

#

😅

astral talon
#

are we sure it was only overwhelm nerf?

#

cuz it was fucking 2% XD

slow saddle
#

We were that close

whole cargo
#

colossal or slayer best for m+?

icy mulch
#

Well

vestal crag
#

Do sims in AOE for Mad queens mandate take into account the 1 min reduction?

teal fossil
#

no

royal escarp
#

war arm in raid is dead or what

#

even on ST i am last one on dps

#

before i was the firest one

astral talon
#

Warrior overall is terrible now xD

royal escarp
#

fuck blizzard

#

nerf after nerf

weak rain
#

my bm ele and rogue does 2x my dam

cloud gyro
#

i was doing significantly less damage in raid today

#

fried spec

#

prob a lot of bugs happening

fervent glen
#

definetly seems bugged out, the visual bugs alone are crazy

smoky brook
#

did blizzard stealth buff mobs in dungeons?

#

the damage they do hurts so much more

#

any1 else noticed?

manic stirrup
#

something else is going on lol

royal escarp
#

what do you think

uncut gazelle
manic stirrup
#

i mean i played colossus and was like top 6 on sikran

hot delta
#

Hey! is any Streamer/Mythic Raider playing Arms atm? Feels like everyone switch to Fury sadge

manic stirrup
#

yeah me

hot delta
#

manic stirrup
#

i didnt stream most of reclear though but i will tonight for silken court reclear and ansurek prog

#

private logs sorry

#

what do you wanna see though

tranquil sundial
#

arms is dead

hot delta
#

Mainly when to use CDS, you just use them on cd or wait for everything to come up?

tranquil sundial
#

nowhere close to the top sadga

manic stirrup
#

i just send on cds always

hot delta
#

Also, wanted to check on Talents, for Single and Aoe in raid

plain latch
#

trick is dont play arms

manic stirrup
#

besides on silken court where u save for a bit here and there

plain latch
#

go prot

tranquil sundial
#

we wanna go fury everywhere now no?

manic stirrup
#

wanna keep the 100 colossus

tranquil sundial
#

yee

manic stirrup
#

oh bless it locked

tranquil sundial
#

whiffed 1 thunderous roar and let my jugger drop on it, suprised it even got there somehow

manic stirrup
tranquil sundial
#

must've just gotten lucky on crits or smth 🤷

hot delta
#

In raid you play Colossus or Slayer?

manic stirrup
#

one of my demolishes 3rd hit missed bc boss dashed lmfao i was so sad

hot delta
#

or just depends on the fight

manic stirrup
#

slayer is better if not bugged

hot delta
#

oh

manic stirrup
#

with the bug theyre even

tranquil sundial
#

colossus is cooler tho

hot delta
#

Haven´t tried Colossus yet, but looks fun

#

Im coming back from a break so this hero talent thing is kinda new to me

manic stirrup
#

demolish can get parrued

rapid bronze
#

Lel

manic stirrup
#

so be prepared to crash out at any given cs/demolish cast

hot delta
#

Damn

royal escarp
#

you haste > crit or haste > mast

#

you are*

manic stirrup
#

haste crit

hot delta
#

oh yeh, stats im not sure about the %

#

How much crit and haste do u need

royal escarp
#

how much do you have on haste

royal escarp
manic stirrup
#

sim your characters gear

#

#

as slayed

#

slayer

hot delta

#

it's joever isn't it brothers.

spare goblet
solemn fractal
#

they are doing more balancing next reset

spare goblet
sacred zodiac
solemn fractal
#

just nerf all specs to the ground so nobody plays the class

#

fixes it too

spare goblet
#

This is how you know there is a no warrior 'dev'

#

The -5% holy paladin patch note they let slip a few weeks ago also was very telling on who is doing balancing notes.

plain latch
#

guys hear me out what if we buffed slam by 5%

woven wasp
#

🧑‍🍳

astral talon
#

Overperforming on all fronts

summer quartz
#

buff slam by 5% but nerf Mortal strike by 20%.

vague nova
#

Slam also cleaves. And does improved damage during execute. Also applies rend.

#

Execute talents and MS talents function on slam

#

All we do is slam

plain latch
#

and welcome to the jam

sharp wyvern
#

Icon changes are not gameplay changes imo

shadow ibex
#

Warbringer devs

#

What did you expect

minor gust
#

warbringer!

astral talon
#

Old spear icon was better

minor gust
sharp wyvern
#

Poop color class gets poop colored spear

quartz canopy
#

I can't believe they still haven't even fixed the name on the changelogs lol

sharp wyvern
#

It makes total sense

sharp wyvern
quartz canopy
#

If it was warbringer, it wouldn't be under pve changes

sharp wyvern
#

Cause it is aoe

#

Yeah but not having fixed a spelling issue at this point is insane

shadow ibex
#

Its the second time they've done it

sharp wyvern
#

They had 2 months

shadow ibex
#

So they just don't know

#

They used Warbringer when talking about warbreaker in DF

#

So just actually don't know

quartz canopy
#

It's hilarious they mispelled it in the first place, and it's even funnier that it's been mispelled for weeks already and they didn't fix it

sharp wyvern
#

And then they remove the hotfix from last week add it back and then change /bug things no one even talked about

rapid bronze
#

Man I haven’t seen this level of low morale and chat volume on the warrior discord ever

#

What a shitshow

#

We are already at the depression stage of grief

minor gust
#

rough beta cycle into repeated nerf into arms also recieving stray after stray will do that

#

all because fury was op on 3 bosses in the raid

sharp wyvern
wind flicker
#

🙂

potent cedar
#

bruh

#

arms feels awful

minor gust
#

we doomed all of alpha/beta on how bad arms feels to play

fossil thistle
#

Because unhinged isn't consuming EP or OP stacks, is it fair to 2x OP opener/use SD proc before pressing the spinny button?

rapid bronze
#

This is the alpha

#

We are the alpha testers

chrome bramble
#

what would you guys say pull more dps in mythic slayer or colossus ? I know both good, i want to pump for what arms can pump okayge

minor gust
#

always has been

quasi torrent
minor gust
potent cedar
#

arms feels like shit on queen

quasi torrent
#

it feels shit everywhere

chrome bramble
#

just looking for whats more consistently preforming on top with the two trees

manic stirrup
#

depends on boss

#

colossus (probably?) better on broodtwister and maybe on silken court

#

slayer everything else

minor gust
#

someone said Revvez was playing ST arms on broodtwister today kek

lilac lava
potent cedar
#

yep

#

I bladestorm the webs and they die fast tho

#

shame no one else cleaves there

#

fuckin annoying

lilac lava
#

meanwhile ele sham was gapping the next person by 100m

fresh spire
#

fury reap bugs are kinda sad for overall, may as well let eleshaman explode adds and you just explode boss

minor gust
#

tbh I would aswell tonight if we had our ele shaman but hes been on vacation for the past week so hes missing out

solemn finch
#

@manic stirrup do you stream on Twitch or somewhere?

manic stirrup
#

not as much as i should

solemn finch
#

just checked it out, go for it sometimes

fresh spire
#

hit a natty 5.3m MS from brutal finish

weak rain
#

And then you look at enh/ele doimg their demolish cast(lightning bolt) for 15 mil

fresh spire
#

i take what i can get

slim badger
#

u guys playing slayer or col for m+?

hot current
#

col

slim badger
#

are u just using the build in dps-faq?

hot current
#

dont go slayer in m+

hot current
slim badger
#

thanks

hot current
#

you can take empowered cleave in colossus tree, which is really good for forti weeks

dim sleet
#

Anyone running battle lord in m+?

sour field
#

anyone test heart of roccor trinket?

glacial shale
#

Are we using colossus instead of slayer for m+ now?

potent cedar
#

guy in hc queen shitting on my damage

#

says I should be doing 1m dps

#

I look at logs and literally the first guy to do 1m on that fight is 625 ilvl

cunning pond
#

Do you hold demo for smash, or smash for demo ?

#

Or neither?

uneven yacht
#

i feel like arms is catching a buff tuesday

#

even the st sucks now

pulsar elk
#

they fookin better

#

cuz this is some horseshit fr

uneven yacht
#

arms dooming is real, fury dooming is half fake

pulsar elk
#

i know its max ranks but still like wtf is that gap

uneven yacht
#

even our st sucks

#

outside rashanan whre you have execute almost the whole fight

pulsar elk
#

just obviously 0 testing into these ele changes lmao

bronze ether
#

I'm pretty sure if you exclude rashnan and silken court we are dead last overall next to a support spec.

#

That's badass

#

Honestly

pulsar elk
#

lmao ele sham doing 27m dps on a pull in a key

shadow ibex
#

gotta nerf war more

pulsar elk
#

idc how nitpicked this clip is, that shouldnt be possible for any class

pulsar elk
#

gonna put together a mythic group with as many ele as i can find and get carried

zinc rapids
pulsar elk
#

lmaoo

#

tbf unholy seems annoying to play xD

olive nest
#

Just never re roll

#

Ez

zinc rapids
#

unholy is more fun now than last xpac, they got rid of a lot of annoying stuff, but bursting wounds is dated gameplay tbh

pulsar elk
#

i just have a ret main and a arms/prot main that stay within 2 ilvls of eachother so when one gets the nerfhammer i dont feel too too bad

olive nest
#

I heard opener is 7 abilities instead of 15

pulsar elk
#

oh right on my only xp of unholy is from cata and i hated it tbh

#

when u compare it to frost its hilariously more complicated too

#

at least it used to be idk now

balmy cradle
#

what do we think about this tree?

zinc rapids
#

Arms is supposed to be fun because it's pure 2hand bonking on the head at the end of the day

livid cloak
#

got damn these shaman changes

#

D:

#

Where's my aura buff

short crescent
#

thats nothing, shaman are bursting for like 26mil

crimson steppe
#

How do they manage to make a Hero Spec based around Bladestorm bad at M+?

languid turtle
nova marsh
#

I mean

#

It's based around exe in reality

#

But I don't think slayer is nessisarily bad

#

It's just not an aoe nuking god

vast hinge
#

You could give arms a 10% aura buff right now

#

And I’d still take a FDK over it

runic tartan
#

10% on some fights could be a lot tbh

#

but ye warr in general is just shit atm compared to the others

#

fury still has some good use for adds at least

#

but ye its sadge

vast hinge
#

Just talking keys specifically

#

Arms does no damage and is like squishy as hell with 0 utility

runic tartan
#

ah well, not so much warriors fault tbh. even with really good damage we lack utility and group wide usefull buffs, cuz of meta

#

and defensives

manic stirrup
#

utilty isnt real

#

arms is tanky

runic tartan
#

it is, but its not a mage alter timing back to full hp

#

or dk fully ignoring damage for 20 seconds

vast hinge
#

Dks can eat a frontal from marauder

#

Without defensive popped

#

At +12

nova marsh
#

And arms would still be fucking f tier

runic tartan
#

i dont think warrior has been S tier for m+ since shadowlands maybe? or was it even then

nova marsh
#

Never

#

Espically not arms lmao

runic tartan
#

but its mostly the meta being revolved too much around magic damage imo

#

and warrs bring nothing for casters

nova marsh
#

I mean

#

To be fair

#

Warrior has a LOT of defensives for that

#

To the point where we're lowkey fucked when physical damage pops up

#

because SR is useless

runic tartan
#

not magic dmg taken, but group doing magic dmg and amplifying that magic dmg

nova marsh
#

Well yeah

#

Wow is a casters game

runic tartan
#

exactly

nova marsh
#

has been for a very long

#

The reality is warrior will never be meta

runic tartan
#

and thats the issue, when you have a class only buffing phys dmg

nova marsh
#

and that's fine

runic tartan
#

when legit no class is pure phys anymore other than fkn warrs?

#

maybe monks?

#

but they suffer the same

nova marsh
#

....okay let me clarify

#

Bshout is NOT physical only

#

it is ATTACK POWER

#

Very, very different

runic tartan
#

i know

nova marsh
#

We buff shamans. we buff DKs. They do magic damage

runic tartan
#

but what does ATTACK POWER do for a mager

nova marsh
#

I mean

#

Be a bit more clear plz

runic tartan
#

my bad

#

so long as mages are bis

nova marsh
runic tartan
#

warrs are bin

vast hinge
#

That does that

runic tartan
#

and that too ^

nova marsh
#

yeah that's the other problem

#

the instant prot is good fury and arms basically eat shit

#

Same thing happened in DF s1 actually

#

But honestly?

#

Dude stop thinking about just the meta. Yeah we'll never be meta, that dosen't mean we can't be good

#

Warriors will always be looked down upon, even we actually are meta

manic stirrup
#

also the best specs in the game right now

#

the specs ppl are complaining about

#

outside of ele which is a disgusting outlier

#

are rogue enhance frost dk ret

#

the best specs are melee

#

and we are complaining that casters are usually meta

#

the opposite is true and we are complaining about what used to be true

manic stirrup
#

consistently top 3 tank for years and years

nova marsh
#

Yeah

#

And thus, arms and fury stay down

#

because tanks don't usually bring "nessisary" utility like a CR

#

Or lust

#

I mean none of them bring lust

vast hinge
#

Don’t need to worry about lust this season

#

There’s only Rsham healers

nova marsh
#

But even one of the 3 CRs on tanks is absoutle dogshit almost unsuable for them (if they didn't remove the HP requirement on Prot pally what the fuck are they doin)

#

true

#

Which is actually great for arms! LMAO

#

FREE SKYFURY

vast hinge
#

I’m at the point where I don’t know how to play keys with another healer

nova marsh
#

Kinda same tbh

vast hinge
#

Every key I’ve timed above a 10 is with Rsham

nova marsh
#

I internally sigh when I don't see a shaman

#

Like in general

#

Like over half of my runs in even "casual" keys have been with one shaman

runic tartan
#

well ye, mastery and skyfury is giga

#

but i play with priests and paladin healers too

#

but ofc, i have a shaman dps then

nova marsh
#

Well yeah they fuck

#

Espically rle now Jesus christ

runic tartan
#

its crazy they actually just did a hotfix

#

and didnt adress ele

#

big X to the D

#

or our bugged talent

#

but I guess we can cope and say they might just not know how to fix it yet

nova marsh
#

Which bugged talent?

runic tartan
#

unhinged

open mango
#

they’re gonna buff colossus right? copium

cunning hound
#

doesn't cleave 2nd target

#

idk how it's possible to fuck that up

runic tartan
#

brooo

#

i swear i thought the same

#

but i think its just the animation

#

cuz it did deal dmg and apply rend/deep wounds

cunning hound
#

it didnt for me

#

and i checked logs

#

i couldnt cleave on council

#

seems like they hotfixed unhinged

manic stirrup
cunning hound
manic stirrup
#

i mean u can debate on how much of a buff it was

#

but it was a buff

cunning hound
#

that was a joke

#

this hero class tree is hot garbage and can only be played on 1 encounter and u have to be pretty good to pull it off

#

i wouldn't be surprised if they rework it

minor gust
#

@fresh spire whats your cursed ovinax build I might actually be able to play arms

manic stirrup
#

its like a few % behind slayer

runic tartan
#

is it reported anywhere tho? i expected it to be since its so obvious when ur animations are not even the same anymore

#

man truly how can u mess up so much in 1 patch xd

thick hamlet
#

bros look

#

can we all agree that dooming right now makes no sense

#

tuning changes confirmed for next reset already

#

when we get nerfed next tuesday, that's when we doom keks

runic tartan
quartz canopy
#

I think it's fair to doom a little bit when we don't know if any positive tuning is coming

#

You'd hope they will buff us but

#

I don't have the confidence

thick hamlet
runic tartan
#

completely missed that. but also, there is 0 guarantee that warrior is included in that 😄

#

or even buffed (!)

livid cloak
#

Played this a bit in keys tonight

#

Felt pretty good tbh. Wasn't as fun as fishy build, but more balanced prio st dam

#

Pretty standard bleed build

runic tartan
#

do u have dmg every pull with that?

livid cloak
#

Yea

runic tartan
#

and is boss dmg ok?

#

could u share an overall maybe

livid cloak
#

I had a 1.8 mil overall in necrotic wake

#

I posted it earlier

runic tartan
#

u did yes

#

maybe i try some arms keys

#

i did sikran on mythic tonight as arms

#

unfort it was a very messy kill, 70% died

#

but it still felt ait

quartz canopy
#

they nerfed elemental shaman btw

#

somehow they only nerfed lightning rod for elemental and not enhancement

#

which is curious, I didn't know they could do that

thick hamlet
#

10%?

quartz canopy
#

yeah I don't know, seems like nothing

thick hamlet
#

does that mean going from 20% to 18%?

runic tartan
#

xd

thick hamlet
#

or down by 10%

runic tartan
#

that is barely a nerf tbh

livid cloak
#

Felt solid

runic tartan
#

thats alright tbh

#

fury just has that ease over it. instant dmg

#

which is why its nerfed as well tbh

#

but i will deffo go for some arms keys later today

livid cloak
#

I also redid my jewelry pieces for a pretty even crit haste mastery balance

#

Following raidbots

runic tartan
#

i have a lot of crit still, my warr alt is still fairly new and just havent had the luck

vague nova
livid cloak
#

I bet you don't actually gain st doing that

#

Losing the bloodborn point with arterial bleed is probably more than the gain

tacit crystal
#

^

vague nova
#

sims say even in ST 1t 5m and 2.4% higher in aoe, 5m 5t and even in 8t 5m

#

for me atleast

livid cloak
#

Its a 3k dps increase for me to do that on st

vague nova
#

im sure its all very close

livid cloak
#

And a loss in aoe

tacit crystal
#

SEAN GO BACK TO NELF

runic tartan
#

man even CLEAVE animation is fked

tacit crystal
#

PELASE

#

PELASE

#

PLEASE

runic tartan
#

hooooow

livid cloak
#

Nah I like my drac thyr

runic tartan
#

THIS IS THE CLEAVE ANIMATION NOW

#

I CANT

#

its a fkn slam

#

mylawd

#

how can they fail so hard man 😦

#

@livid cloak sorry for the tag, whats the rule for demolish in aoe? hit as many as possible with sweeping strikes up or do we not care about sweeping?

manic stirrup

day 3 of asking whether ignore pain is working as intended or not

its a bad oh shit button that costs rage at this point

but who knows, maybe it will save ur life!

It had niche uses in dungeons in DF, like the last spider boss in atal’dazar you could stack it if you didn’t take avoidable damage and live the one shot in a +30

teal fossil

specifically for prot vs the other one

#

but yeah the slayer nerf is just lazy

dry frost
#

So um

#

I’m usually not a doomer but

#

Arms is kinda dogshit lmao

#

Fighting augs for dps now

vale gorge
#

Main problem imo is rage génération. Execute's phase is a pain

boreal quartz
#

If ur slayer with shaman rage is fine

#

You just dont deal any real damage outside of exe

#

Unless you crit a shit on

#

Juggernaut is just gamba and if you roll into exe with a 10 stack ur actually a real class

#

If you build from 15 and then dont crit ur LB ms ur just in bozotown

flat willow
dry frost
#

Yeah it feels super gamba just praying for procs and that you don’t have to press slam 100 times . If I get like 8 sd procs in opener I’m top dps and if I get 2 procs I’m bottom dps

#

And then I have a stacked MS and it gets parried or CS gets parried and I’m -100k dps

#

Can’t believe I stopped playing assa in raid for this bs lmao

boreal quartz
boreal quartz
#

MS variance is disgusting

#

From 400k to almost 3 mil for me

#

Ms nerf also makes you wait for tier, one change to exe dam or new tier not buffing ms

#

And ur gonna ms for bleeds only

vital summit
#

just buff baseline MS/Cleave and nerf all the stupid % modifiers

balmy kindle
#

There's a reason why crit tends to SIM so well along with haste deadge

20% my beloved

Jugg also have to go

balmy kindle

Never liked jugg anyways

vital summit
#

2 OP stacks > 60% modifier, 2 exec. precision 70% modifier... that's 4 GCDs to make Mortal strike to actually do some damage...

#

also 4p set another 20%

And Avatar

#

And overwhelmed

And trinkets potentially

And mastery

those are fine TBH

@thick kelp i did colossus on some Queen pulls

vital summit

just make OP stack 5% (10 max) and exe precision 7 (15 max)

I was very high if i had 45%+ crit on ms

Annoying when u stack all the modifiers and it's a 1m+ non crit sadge

Avg crit i was turbo dead

hahaha

and buff MS/cleave accordingly

Ye it was cranking

Fishy was coming out of first inter at like 2mil dps

Like ill obviously slayer arm the boss

with some funny unhinged playin around

boreal quartz
thick kelp

its like beacon

but more coinflip

boreal quartz

Cuz u could use it prepull

Or after cs runs out

Which is with overwhelmed

Ans then more dam

Can I just play arms and feel like a normal dps in m+ instead of busting my ass to squeeze dmg while pallies and dks just roll their face ignore all dmg and still do more dmg than me?

Yes, do a follower dungeon and pretend it's m+

i just want a kinda rework

they want arms to be a beast st, but really you only have 2 bosses in the whole content that is st

#

then what? xD

vital summit

they buff arms and nerf the everliving shit out of slayer/colossus

be honest would you take an arms queueing to your m+ 10+ keys?

over any other class xD

yeah probably need to find a guild

I dont mind playing with randoms but the wait time is killing me

Still beating a support class (barely) so I guess that's nerfworthy

thick kelp

not even beating

#

their log hooks are still fucked

manic oriole

I think you guys should get another rotational ability and a stray nerf btw

vital summit
#

nerf execute

limpid hornet
#

Blizzard devs if you read this (obv they don't otherwise they wouldn't be so shit at their job), i challenge Mak'gora to all of you

vital summit
#

also reduce damage on MS and make a new modifier to increase MS damage on Slam keks

vague nova

Slam buffs when

oh look at me am a warrior I bring a shitty shout on 3m cd please can I join you 12+ borales

oh nvm they got an ele sham, dk and ret

vital summit

bruhhh nerf sweeping its too strong

vital summit

make it to sweep the damage back to warrior

rare bane
#

thunderclapping my rends everywhere thats too strong too

worldly kernel
#

interns at blizzard tuning classes with an excel spreadsheet and normal logs

rare bane
#

Nah you wanna work for blizzard? 1st question what do you think about balancing / answer, warriors kinda need a nerf. Hired

manic oriole
#

Blizzard devs snort a line and say “you know all those warrior mains who spent 100 dollars and weeks of their time this expansion? Yeah FUCK EM”

worldly kernel
#

no man you think im joking they actually balance damage with a spreadsheet 🤫

rare bane
#

How do they see the current state and go, you what do arms have incommon with fury? Roar? yeah lets nerf that, they have too much aoe, but pallis and dks are finee eles need a buff too

worldly kernel
#

i mean the roar damage isn't even that big it was just for the initial damage not even the dot it still doesn't make sense though

rare bane
#

the whole spec barely has 1 over 3k io xD

#

yeah but its like they are breaking your moral

#

yeah we know roar isnt that big but we aint buffing you, we still find ways to nerf you

worldly kernel
#

I mean to be fair arms is also one of those specs that has extremely little representation in terms of who's playing it in content. it's usually either middle of the pack or it performs very good. it's a really niche spec

rare bane
#

maybe if it was any good

#

it will see more play

worldly kernel
#

even when it was good not that many people played it over fury

#

it ended up being a spec that was evenly played, not even significantly over the other

rare bane
#

then why not make it good since not many will play it

#

I dont get the reason of not making it good at all

#

gimme a worse dps rn, besides maybe bm

#

even shadow performs well in 11+ keys

worldly kernel
#

people just don't like the playstyle, I don't know I don't make decisions for people if they wanna play a spec or not. A big part of the wow community will play things that require minimal effort for maximum amount of output which is why people flock to FOTM every time something gets extremely busted, the only time I can think about when arms was actually extremely good was MOP and maybe like s4 BFA with corruptions and still even then people will always prefer fury over arms in most situations because of the playstyle difference and how easier fury is to play. It's more straight forward with less effort

teal fossil
#

9.1 arms was the strongest arms in the past couple years

#

But it wasn’t anything special

#

It was Just tuned high

worldly kernel
#

didn't even pay attention to sland I don't think i played warrior that whole xpac

rare bane
#

I am not saying make me a dk, but make me viable not to feel shit when I bust my ass to do dmg its frustrating but I guess thats life of a warrior

#

I only play priest/rogue since vanila, this is the first time ever I try something else I always loved arms so I figured how bad can it be xD

#

oh boy

worldly kernel
#

I mean in raid you're getting outdps'd by everyone in pretty much every fight as arms. It's still VERY viable in keys as dps, people just don't play it, again there are better specs that do way more damage

rare bane
#

No, I think I am way way more viable in raids

limpid hornet
rare bane
#

it was since week 1

#

youre always good in raids

limpid hornet
#

If you were outdps'd on Sikran as Arms

#

the issue isn't the class

rare bane
#

true, but thats just because of bad luck or getting targeted I think youd still be top 3 or 5 at worse

#

which is decent

#

but in m+ youre just getting shit on xD

limpid hornet
#

I mean

rare bane
#

like I really really try so hard and barly do 1.4 overall

limpid hornet
#

You're getting shit on everywhere right now so

rare bane
#

but like REALLLLY hard

limpid hornet
#

I don't even feel playing the game anymore

rare bane
#

I feel you, I can reroll but I am really not an alts kind of player so it feels shit

#

its frustrating that you have to do much more than other specs, just to be close to them not even as strong just like to be not looked down upon 😛

limpid hornet
#

And that's IF you have a group to play with, because pugs won't even invite you

worldly kernel
#

don't remember the last time I pugged lol I have a group, thank the lord they tolerate me playing arms

rare bane
#

yeah you have to be like 100-200 io over the M+ needs

#

and even then, you have to hope no one else is queueing

#

and you have to have insane ilvl

#

just to be invited to a pug which btw all I have cause I dont actually have a grp xD

#

also being vulpera doesnt help apparently

vast helm
#

playing games should bring me happiness, but I don’t seem to feel this way

cyan oriole
#

when are you guys sending demo? i feel like sending it start of pack is best for dps but im ripping aggro off tanks

thick kelp
#

if I have stacks in sending it normally in opener

#

if no stacks, I wait for 6+

cyan oriole
#

you dont rip aggro off tanks sending it at start? i usually tc, cleave, warbreaker if up, then send demo

#

and i kept getting aggro that way

slow saddle
#

hmm

#

DBTS solves this

#

or meld

#

😄

cyan oriole
#

yea maybe just tank diff i guess

slow saddle
#

im so glad i chose warrior and not dk as my main in tww

#

-....-

violet orbit
#

Just tank diff

#

If it's a blood dk. I know if he has no bone shield charges and runicpower I'll wait abit before I let it rip

slow saddle
#

if he goes into pull with no charges

#

he pretty fucked ngl 😄

violet orbit
#

But if he's a war tank, you really shouldn't be able to steal aggro

cyan oriole
#

he was pally that i kept ripping off of

violet orbit
#

Unfortunate then

thick kelp
#

xD

#

Ripping off of pally should be considered a miracle

violet orbit
#

But I heard pally tanks do some sick dps now yea?

cyan oriole
#

yea they might have been undergeared i guess i didnt look

violet orbit
#

Like for me, I charge, demo, spear, ravager, clap, avatar, blast, shield slam, blast

#

No one has stolen aggro before from that lmao

slow saddle
violet orbit
#

Unfortunate then

#

Prot pally back to the wheelchair

do we pay attention to 4 set track or just continue rotation as normal

Guys, how do u see using Battlelord and Exhilarating Blows in builds? I hate slamming for filler, and think bout the procs these 2 talents can provide. Is it worth or a potencial loss of DPS as Arms is right now?

thick kelp

In a key

#

u can play talent sets that include those

but in raid

#

deadaf

slow saddle

sadly

unless they

then we get to have our feedback loop back

Blizz hired “elitist jerks” no need to elaborate further

untold pewter

They're honestly being extremely irresponsible with class tuning and balancing

Releasing the patch with this huge list of bugs is pathetic

Its hilarious thats what it is

untold pewter

I mean I don't find it funny that people in my circle are getting so fed up with Blizz bullshit they might actually just stop playing

And they're not wrong, it is bullshit

Like Ascendance not working at all after getting of a visual change, what the heck are they even doing over there

ornate eagle
#

Wdym

#

You don't think LITERALLY last minute changes to class balance and adding many other class changes after the fact cuz the PTR was only focused on the anniversary event and cleaning up class tree reworks that were planned for xpac launch

Are a good thing?

untold pewter

Like who the heck is greenlighting this kind of stuff

That's kinda what happens when you lay off tons of devs and especially QA

They all jumped ship

untold pewter

Test in production, nobody will see it am I right?

Yeah, I've been trying to hammer that point on the official forums. Ppl think it's one guy per class. When in fact it's most likely 3-5 ppl for all class/specs.

Ranged BL = you can be doge and still get invites

icy mulch
#

I got as far as setting up bars and ui for it. Logged back to my warrior.

#

I can't imagine being new to the game. Like the basic UI is mostly garbage. You need 10 to 15 macros for any healing spec. About 5-6 for dps or tank. Trackers, timers, and other things, all of this I could see just really killing a new player's experience.

flat willow
#

The secondary problem is I hate tree huggers

icy mulch
#

I notice a lot more Tauren and Orc than I do Night elf. Tauren are more tree huggers than Nelf. Lol

Thats also the night elves' fault

Taurens used to be cool warriors who hunted animals for sport

which effect should I put on my crafted wrists, duskthread or the one that doubles the embelished items?

Then they got druid in vanilla

man I really want to enjoy this patch because I've been playing this game on and off since 2005 when I rolled my first warrior and it was such a fixture of my life that I actually want to do the 20 year celebration but the amount of bugs and the atrocious balancing is really souring me on blizzard

I wouldnt trust the current team with my wet socks, but also it would take a lot of effort to manage to make something worse than current arms

it's cringe design but they never gave a good substitute, the only thing that worked to alleviate it was an aura buff

also that same patch was the rally nerf
