fatality is not new

#

nothing is new the mix is just bad

slow saddle
#

Fatality is somewhat new?

#

Ep is not

naive sage
rare kite
#

and a ton of it is watered down. old things that used to better

slow saddle
#

Tactician should procc cs

#

Was way better

rare kite
#

oh 100%, can't tell me overpower is a satisfying button. when you got that cs reset it was dopamine, when you get overpower reset it's just relief

naive sage
rare kite
#

also shattered defenses was such a good node when cs resets was a thing, big ms or exe after

steep osprey
#

Make OP have shattered defenses

#

crit one

#

crit chance after OP

rare kite
#

i'd rather have that than martial prowess

boreal quartz
#

you dont want to put more power into OP

#

you want more power in MS and less in the modifiers

rare kite
#

yup, remove martial prowess

steep osprey
#

ok s

#

so

#

colo is really good in cot because of all the small adds

#

demolish deletes them

#

holy crap

#

can't time 10 sv or cot on my warrior to save my life

#

groups always fail

#

im amazed

#

honestly

slow saddle
#

Cot and nw here

steep osprey
#

never had any issues with those on my shaman

#

but now everyone became dumber

balmy kindle
#

alr got my cot and sv on 11 okayge

balmy kindle
steep osprey
#

true

eager sigil
#

Nw is fine now tbh

halcyon valve

#

Stone vault can be rough

steep osprey
#

SV and CoT i mean

#

nw is not baD

#

anymore

eager sigil
#

Yea I haven't done them after I did them on 10

steep osprey
#

this is why 10 svs ain't going well

#

we timed this one because my guildie tank is a chad

#

mage doing less damage than tank critcake

halcyon valve
#

Average pug mage

steep osprey
#

real

balmy kindle
#

your mistake was taking the mage okayge

steep osprey
#

Wasn't my group

#

Otherwise I wouldn't have

balmy kindle
#

my bad, but it does show how some specs can afford to fail upwards

#

sometimes i wanna roll an aug as well just to bedge in keys (nobodys gonna realize the sub 50% ebon might uptime ! )

steep osprey
#

lmao

#

I know which spec players are usually doing well

#

mage ain't one of them

balmy kindle
#

My personal pet peeve is aug and mage players

rare kite
#

yeah mage and aug are the 2 biggest offenders

slow saddle
#

I mean id say, yes

cloud gyro
#

Mage for ranged, ret for melee

steep osprey
balmy kindle
steep osprey
#

hmm

#

Survival is up there for sure

#

I think warriors are fine but i haven't played with a lot considering i am one

balmy kindle
#

because survival hunters are only played by true lovers

steep osprey
#

real

#

well that's not really true recently

#

there's been an influx of survival hunters

#

And I can tell you some of them were mediocre

balmy kindle
#

i think even as FOTM now they are nowhere as popular as the dks deadge

rare kite
# steep osprey what about spec players that are usually good?

from my experience both shaman dps specs, tho ele players are better. enhance is so broken atm it seems even bad players can do halfway decent damage. while warlocks are not in a great spot i feel like the players pump, had a demolock and he was owning

balmy kindle
#

Yeah warlock players that have high io as demo are likely very cracked

steep osprey
#

That's a good point, warlocks also are good

balmy kindle
#

Its just hard to pick them when melee is better for keys

steep osprey
#

melee better for keys

#

what times we live in

balmy kindle
#

its mostly damage profile and most melee specs having better interrupts and cc

steep osprey
#

remember back in the days when m+ was favoring ranged?

#

I think what happened is blizzard deliberately made it worse for ranged by adding in more puddles

#

and shit like that

balmy kindle
#

I do, sanguine affix and quaking bedge

steep osprey
#

so they have to move a lot

#

melees just stay on target most of the time

#

ranged moving is a much more dps loss than melee

#

by far

#

especially some specs

#

I've tried playing demo in GB

balmy kindle
#

Tell me more , i used to play MM hunter

steep osprey
#

it was cancerous

#

took me a long time tup set up my cds

#

lol

#

because i had to move all the time

balmy kindle
#

yea demo works like that along with afflict in keys

steep osprey
#

the only ranged I wanna play is if they have a lot of movement

balmy kindle
#

destro is more (spam ROF)

steep osprey
#

like fire

#

or boomkin

#

elemental is nice too

#

spriest is dogshit

balmy kindle
#

S priest has amazing boss dmg and cleave tho if the pilot is good

#

my guildie plays a mean S priest (although hes always complaining about his spec) keks

steep osprey
#

Our spriest is also complaining about it

#

ALL THE TIME

#

he's rerolling

balmy kindle
#

just tell him give me PI and handle the boss bedge

steep osprey
#

he's also my pi

#

(on shaman)

#

rashanan sucks for spriest

balmy kindle
#

I think S priest is kind of like arms, numerically its tuned ok but the playstyle is pretty cooked

steep osprey
#

Idk about the playstyle being cooked necessarily, it's pretty much identical to late DF

#

He's not complaining about playstyle

#

more so mobility and damage sometimes in m+

balmy kindle
#

yeah mobility is smth spriest struggles with, damage is more of it comes too slow in keys

#

like if you consider ASS rogue exists

steep osprey
#

gonna be playing vs a 2950 enha in cot

#

o7

#

im gonna lose dps meter

#

Ass rogue's damage does not come slowly

#

not even close compared to spriest

#

I can't believe how nuts caustic spatter is

#

Surprised they haven't nerfed it yet

balmy kindle
#

Yeah my guildie plays ass rogue as well and he's always pissed on how spriest fades compared to ass rogue.

Well, until he realizes the nature of Ass rogue in boss fights (downtime, energy starved)

steep osprey
#

yeah there's a lot of energy starvation for assa

#

in pure st

#

i like cot

steep osprey
#

man still didn't time it

#

the tank is doing mdi pulls and dying

#

cost us a time

#

ugh

quaint otter
#

Before the tww it was fixed number of damage iirc

#

Now its basically ww but 10 times better

#

Or blade flurryy

steep osprey
#

I'm enjoying colossus a lot

#

had least damage taken

#

in grp

#

You know what's so satisfying about demolish, clearly seeing how the mobs hp go down when you cast it

balmy kindle
steep osprey
#

no one's ever said that to me sadge

dreamy sleet
#

Hey dudes just getting back into arms but I could have sworn cleave had a target cap you used sweeping strike to increase before no? Now it says it hits all so is SS just for MS now?

lethal acorn
dreamy sleet
#

Ah I see

tacit crystal

#

lmfao

#

opal flax
#

are dps wars tanky in keys?

#

dont seem to have that much damage mitigation

balmy kindle
#

I think you can deem thane fury as tanky, arms is sadga

eager sigil
#

you got alot of defensives

#

just sustain is kinda mid

#

and hp is kinda low

halcyon valve
#

Armsowns hit a 7.9m demolish in a key

#

ah it was on the 50% dmg amp, so it doesnt count

rare kite
halcyon valve
#

go defensive stance and still do top dps in shit keys clueless

dreamy sleet
#

Kill it before it kills you 😡😡

dire hinge
#

Warriors have a fair number of tools in their kit to stay alive, but many folks don’t use em and then complain about dying easily

rancid solstice
#

I dropped wild strikes for 10%stam just to see how it felt, didn’t notice, same overall at the end of key

#

I have a ton of haste tho so maybe that helped

untold aspen
#

will there be more mythic nerfs after HOF closing?

eager sigil
#

very likely

#

silken court probably

#

theres like 800 guilds on it currently

gaunt owl
#

being passively tanky shouldnt exists

dire hinge
#

I just download extra health before my key

#

Ezpz

dreamy sleet
#

Is that the same place I can also download some ram to boost my game performance

gaunt owl
#

hey dont give away the secret

dreamy sleet
#

Arms is perfect as a healer main because I can give no shits about anything and just smash

dim basalt
#

Are you confusing fury with arms

teal fossil
#

He’s just letting arms die

dreamy sleet
#

Bruh I already press enough buttons as it is.. plus the big MS crits and animations are 👌

dim basalt
#

wdym "already"

#

As if fury has more buttons

dreamy sleet

Hard to explain but the pace of arms is just more relaxing lol

how it feels to play fury

Ya man it’s fun but like just when I’m drunk

quaint otter
#

its not hard at all

halcyon valve

how did you get "its hard" from that

gladge wow fun, arms chill, life good

#

😏 heh yeah imagine finding things hard, all mechanics in games are easy for me 😏 heh if its under a +17 its for kiddos

spring pilot
#

Should I be pressing Skullsplitter on CD?

dire hinge
#

You want to press it frequently, but your big hitters (Major CDs, MS, Opportunist, etc) all precede it

spring pilot
#

Got it, ok.

#

For MS, do I press that on CD or only have it has stacks? I've been pressing it on CD

dire hinge
#

In single target you press it on CD for the majority of the fight.

You stop pressing MS on CD when you enter execute phase

spring pilot
#

Ok. I've been pressing MS after two stacks of execute during the execute phase

dire hinge
#

That’s when you wait for it to get 2x of the Executioner’s Precision debuff + 2x of the 4piece Tier bonus before sending it

spring pilot
#

Oh

#

I am not sure I've been waiting for the tier set

dire hinge
#

It makes your life a lot easier and you get to just spam execute

#

With OP as filler when lower rage

#

(And it’s a dps gain!)

#

Easier + better = good 👨‍🍳

spring pilot
#

Ok, cool. Thank you! I will try and be more conscious of the tier set. I'm assuming when my Cleave and MS lights up is when that buff is active. I don't think I'm tracking it otherwise

dire hinge
#

Understandable, MS will light up during execute when it’s not a great time to press it yet, but WeakAuras can help track the correct buffs and flash only when it’s the right time

spring pilot
#

Ok. I will look for that. Thank you so much!

dire hinge
#

Always!

#

Good luck out there, and I hope this weekend is treating you kindly

rare kite
#

hrothy always wholesome. i await the day he will flame someone, tho it will never happen

spring pilot
#

Would anyone happen to know the name of the WA that tracks that?

rare kite
#

John

spring pilot
#

I'm currently using the Afnar WA

dire hinge
# spring pilot Would anyone happen to know the name of the WA that tracks that?

So any pack could contain it, but it depends on how you want to track it. Some folks track it externally (ie: a different aura appears when the buff is present), others put it directly as a number on your Mortal Strike itself.

The buff is called “Lethal Blows”, and you can search that on Wago.io and it might give some leads—- or you can edit Afnar’s to track it by copying an existing buff and changing it to watch for Lethal Blows instead

#

Most big packs likely have it already though

#

You can also search for “lethal blows” in the search box of your /WA window that appears in game, you might already have it somewhere

strange perch
#

Arms at MDI Whuh

dire hinge
#

Wahle good hooman ♥️

spring pilot
#

I wish I was adept at the WA stuff so I could figure out how to integrate it into what I already have. The pack I have doesn't track it but I found a WA that does.

Question. Is Warbreaker better than the Blunt Instruments for M+ Colossus?

anyone know why every warri use second cd´s at Pricness by 2:00 Min ?

they dont?

Damn how do you get that view?

i was on the first boss 😄 mb xD

manic river
#

BTW do you guys think the Wowhead warrior guides (or at lest the arms one) are a bit outdated?

astral talon
#

Fuck ovinax

#

Well at least next week we can ignore half of the fucking 3rd container

#

And just nuke the boss down

manic river
# dim basalt Not really

I get the felling many of the things we discuss here as we advanced do not reflect much on the talents discussion for example

#

Or no alternatives on the gear options if you want to go with a different weapon + crafted items configuration

halcyon valve
#

hehe hoho testing spiteful on ovinax

#

its kinda neat because the 45s warbreaker is trivial to align with add spawns, but eh, in the end cleave is just too good

thick kelp
#

aint a good comparison when other tree isnt running dn

halcyon valve
#

dn doesnt matter

#

the dmg gain from the second point for another 7.5% bleed dmage is equal to it with this setup

#

dn in the original did ~56k, the bleed talent point contributes ~57k in the bleed focused spiteful build

astral talon
#

I just play for ST on that boss now

#

Might play collateral dmg tho

#

For that one HUGE cleave

halcyon valve
#

yeah

#

main reason for me doing this was because we were only 17/18 people today keks

#

more padding to do, and adds stay alive longer because of it

wet cloud
#

how do we use defensive stance? just like a dps druid use bear form?

teal fossil
#

Is much better than bear form

wet cloud
#

as a main balance i question that

teal fossil
#

But it’s just another defensive

teal fossil
#

You are effectively silenced

astral yarrow
#

Also not taking a global is pretty cool

wet cloud
#

i can bear , frenzy regen like 32% of my health too, and i think overall in defensive i take less dmg when i turn back to another form compared to 15% dr, but i gotta test it exactly, offensive bear its worse for sure

teal fossil
#

Bear better make you invincible if it’s eating up like 6 globals

wet cloud
#

its like 1 with a talent

astral talon
#

But next week we should be able to ignore most eggs on 3rd and just nuke the boss

wet cloud
#

u can spell reflect the sacrifice and the boss goes to the altar instead of u lol, at this time the effect was over already

I hate ravager for that same reason

slow saddle
#

hmm

#

they would ofc have to make it brown colored

#

FOR gods sake make critical thinking a 1 talent point at least

#

IS M+ slayer build still ok ?

#

or do we need to do juggernaut style to actually do boss dmg?

fresh spire
#

Ideal world if they love their 2/2

#

Is they flip the rage between improved and critical

#

So baseline is higher from improved and not having 2/2 isn't so shit

#

Did some test sims before testing the rage refunds reversed and bl based builds gained like 30/40k dps bringing them closer to execute based one's on colossus while having 0 impact on current st meta build

#

Issue is with execute when we had the rage nerfs and reductions in fillers execute didn't get any changes. That high end 40 rage cost spend is pretty destructive when not running critical thinking

ill just presume, seeing im way to mastery heavy atm, coz its cross fury // arms g ear

ye its a safe bet

still man i dno

#

collosus is fun

#

but i have 1 major gripe

#

and that is, any kind of stoppage in key

#

and stacks drops off

daring heron
slow saddle
#

if i play fury and this happens it just means i have cds up and get demolish shit

naive sage
slow saddle
#

hmm when i look at u.gg i c most slayer arms play EB instead of SKS now ?

#

is that truly a thing as slayer in keys?

#

or do we just use SKS coz its nice

Cleave big dmg

#

I hope this is a good reason for you

slow saddle
#

hmm but cleave in slayer

#

is not that big dam is it ?

daring heron
#

cleave itself doesnt deal as much dam as slayer

but it procs reap a lot

ah

well idm not having to play sks

i do c ppl playing blunt instruments

thats still a thing or ?

And procs reap as the good sir crit said

From a purely gameplay pov

#

Correct me if I'm wrong

#

Yall prefer Colossus or Slayer?

#

For M+ builds can i just use Warbreaker instead of CS

hushed pine

Colossus seems to do better in AoE situations

but thats really it

if you do this rotation on ST you should be fine

If you're playing Slayer, Execute with 2 or 3 stacks of Marked for Execution

hushed pine
#

It'd definitely kill some of the incentives to play

nova marsh
#

Man just raid logging sounds just

#

Not worth it

#

Idk why some people hate any form of endgame that isn't raiding

teal fossil
#

I think half of the players in any rwf guilds only raidlog

nova marsh
#

And that's fine

#

But man, I kinda have grown to hate the "raiding should be the end all be all! No other end game if you can't raid don't play!

teal fossil
#

It’ll be like final fantasy

#

You finish raiding and go touch grass until next tier

nova marsh
#

Yep

#

Average guild raids 2 nights a week ya?

#

4 hours eaxh

#

Just....dosent sound worth it. Wows endgame not being just raiding is a huge draw for me

balmy kindle
#

Played FF14 during the SL exodus days and man the content draught was real

#

The only pros is that you can practice Japanese by hopping into JP guilds

nova marsh
#

Yeah wows endgame is just unbeatable in it's current state ino

#

Pve just eats so good

balmy kindle
#

FF14 dungeons are so dry that I legit fell bedge like way more times I would had liked

nova marsh
#

14 dungeons are awful lol

#

And I play tank

balmy kindle
#

Ofc we have the opposite extreme end here in wow where one dropped cast = everyone dies

#

Tank in FF14 is just another DPS deadge

nova marsh
#

Yeah so are healers

#

Utility dosent exist!

balmy kindle
#

Also gameplay aside, FF14 also has very homogenised races

#

Like everyone is a humanoid

nova marsh
#

I mean it's both appealing and not

#

Because 14 helmets look okay on all races (that can use them)

#

Unlike....pandaern, Tauren, worgen...

balmy kindle
#

clueless implying ppl use glamour instead of summer costumes on cat girls

nova marsh
#

I mean true but I like 14s armour design

#

Instead of the half painted on trash wow gets usually

hushed pine
#

Eh I think WoW's endgame could be better. It doesn't really respect your time imo

nova marsh
#

True

#

But it depends on how ya do it

#

If you pug....well yeah

balmy kindle
#

Agreed, I would had been so frustrated if not for getting into a guild

nova marsh
#

Pugging is designed to be worse

#

Wow is still a social game no matter how much people deny it

balmy kindle
#

Like the l2p thing is very real here and they do not like it

hushed pine
#

It's not even that. Think about it.

Say, you have crests and all this stuff to upgrade gear but, oh look, everything is CAPPED, and you can't ever seem to reach the max truly. And you have to keep doing it constantly. But it doesn't matter by the next .5 patch because there'll be catch up mechanics/gear that override the previous patch's gear

dim basalt
#

That's because the average WoW player is much better than in FF

#

Like holy shit the average FF player is so bad

nova marsh
balmy kindle
#

Why you hate 40 yo salary man coming from 9-5 job

nova marsh
hushed pine
nova marsh
#

14 players....are not

dim basalt
#

Yup

nova marsh
#

Besides, gearing is still pretty damn fast

dim basalt
#

It's the best system we have had ina while

#

Except valorstones

nova marsh
#

Gearing is always a means to an end to me

balmy kindle
#

tWW is better at least for nowcritcake

hushed pine
#

We had it so simple before. Get badges, buy good to almost bis gear from vendors

nova marsh
#

You get more valorstones then you'll ever need

dim basalt
nova marsh
#

And you can speed run that shit. My shammy basically can't run out

dim basalt
#

But they do not have a reason to exist

nova marsh
#

I think they're fine still

dim basalt
#

Crests cap you enough as is

balmy kindle
nova marsh
#

The only thing I have to say about them is ffs blizz

#

Let there be farms for them that are quick

#

Instead of murdering them like digging and heroic dungeons were

#

Holy fuck why

balmy kindle
#

Yeah valour stones amounts are poorly thought

nova marsh
#

It's been 3 months and I'm still salty about that fuxking dirt nerf

hushed pine
#

I dunno man, I'd be whining less if they added something like the badge system again. Valorstones and keys feel so unrewarding and disrespectful of your time rn

nova marsh
#

I mean

#

I'm also not playing for the gearing system

balmy kindle
#

Like getting stuck at 619 is not cool

hushed pine
#

And by badge system I mean being able to buy decent or good gear from vendors again

nova marsh
#

It is actually fucking awful

hushed pine
#

Look at Cata classic for example

nova marsh
#

Pugging this season so bad I rerolled

balmy kindle
nova marsh
#

You poor soul

balmy kindle
#

Just W key and press revenge okayge

nova marsh
#

Fucking pain

#

And keys below like a 7 are a real gate

#

A gate that's incredibly hard to get put of even by pushing ur own key

#

Cuz people just troll more

#

And above a 7 people are just so stupid. I love tanks who LoS their healer ask WHERE THE FUCK WERE MY HEALS then rage quit

balmy kindle
#

Yeah right now I think pugs just leave instead of sticking it out yoo

#

Blizz needs to make crests drop even when key bricks

nova marsh
#

Just leave at 12 for bricks

#

Making bricks feel even worse does not help

#

Actually can we just buff the drops to 15

balmy kindle
#

Been doing 10 carries for guildies here too lol because pugging 8s is hell

#

Like if you are not 630s and at a decent Io now sadge

nova marsh
#

Yeah if you aren't 3k now you're fuxked

#

Like me

#

My season is over

#

I just want my portals

#

Then I'm gonna go replay all the dark souls game for no reason

balmy kindle
#

3000 is a lil far fetched but 2600-2700 is like min now keks

#

Also fat ilevel is needed with near bis gear

nova marsh
#

I'm barely below 2.6k

#

But like I just don't want to pug

balmy kindle
#

Like I had to kick an ele to appease my pug group because he has no spymasters

nova marsh
#

The rest of this season is me trying and probally failing to parse to get into an actual guild

balmy kindle
#

Even tho I was damned sure the ele is going to be decent

nova marsh
#

Current one I just can't play

balmy kindle
#

It is very cringe but tank and his dps buddy was like wailing

nova marsh
#

Holy fuck maybe that's why I get invited then randomly kicked

#

Unbelievably cringe

balmy kindle
#

I mean we still timed the 11 SV but the ele sham was not happy

#

2.9k and kicked deadge

nova marsh
#

I mean I'm not even pushing 11s cuz just bad

#

10s are painful enough but better then anything else

balmy kindle
#

10 and 11s are kinda ok, but 12s = fun is over

nova marsh
#

Yeah I'd never go to 12s without a guild group

#

Also playing a spec like enhance that folds like a wet paper towel the instant you don't have bulwark or shift up sounds VERY unfun in a range where you get one shot

balmy kindle
#

Lol enh being tofu is smth you have to figure out tho

nova marsh
#

Tofu that the mobs REALLY WONNA EAT

balmy kindle
#

With great damage comes great squishinessokayge

nova marsh
#

You press a spender first 10 seconds of the pull you fucking die

#

It's funny

#

And GOD FORBID that spender is tempest

balmy kindle
#

Threat pulling is common though depending on the tank

#

I know my guildie playing bear is always struggling a lil due to how the spec works

nova marsh
#

When I played arms it wasn't so bad

balmy kindle
#

I mean we have dbts

nova marsh
#

Unless you pressed bs as your first gxd then you fold

#

And die or distance

balmy kindle
#

Prot Pala and vdh have alot better ways to grab threat

#

But they also tend to fold over if tank makes a mistake

nova marsh
#

Squishy sucks

#

Squishy with aoe taunts REALLY SUCKS

balmy kindle
#

On my keys enh tends to wait alil before they pop cds

nova marsh
#

Or just

#

Spend in general

#

Don't even crash

#

Just ss

#

It's a loss for sure but so is eating shit with ascendce up

balmy kindle
#

I mean in 11s you can't die too much sadga

#

A few deaths is k but too many and it's auto brick

nova marsh
#

Dying to the first boss of grim

#

Sucks ass

#

But I was not ready for the damage there holy fuck

balmy kindle
#

How tho, that boss is a pushover

#

Oh yea you need to DR for the shout

nova marsh
#

I thought that too

#

Then uhh...people fucked it up

balmy kindle
#

Like some healers are bedge as well

#

Then they realize oh shit I needa push my CDs for that one

dusty summit
balmy kindle
#

It really depends on the tank spec as well, some tanks just have weaker threat gain deadge and tank needs to focus on living himself too

Like when I go in and hit wb and demolish I am always prepared to press dbts okayge

dusty summit
#

Ye, I get that, but when pack is half dead and you rip aggro on the prio mob idk deadge

dim basalt
#

That's why aug is needed with Timelessness

#

And even then it can be sketchy as fuck

#

Like when I spam aoe dps as pwar, see I'm losing aggro to an enh oder fdk, press aoe taunt to make sure nothing happens and they rip it once aoe taunt runs out again

#

What am I supposed to do lol

#

At that point it's a dps diff

balmy kindle
dim basalt
#

A lot of tanks are ass don't get me wrong, but there's also only so much we can do sometimes

#

When I was gone on a Saturday and my team wanted to pug a tank they had the worst time of their lives lmao

balmy kindle
#

Good tanks are rare okayge

The last thing u want is guys like me playing tank clueless

dim basalt
#

Tanking is easy until higher keys imo

balmy kindle
#

Yea for me 8-9s is the max

dim basalt
#

When you need to plan ahead your defensives on bosses is when it gets funny

balmy kindle
#

10s I would brick the key probably because I tend to press revenge alot

#

DPS brain

dim basalt
#

Kek

#

We did a +15 dawnbreaker yesterday and that's when the 2nd boss actually starts becoming dangerous

#

In a 14 I can take the buster with no cds and live

#

15 is rip

#

I just wonder how people pug at that level because essentially you trust your team to track your defensives

quaint otter
balmy kindle
#

I mean 15 is not meant to be puggabledeadge

#

12-14s are alr pushing it

quaint otter
#

I have some people in friend list who pugged it

dim basalt
#

12 and 13 are easy to pug

quaint otter
#

And some people who had r1 prev seasons by pugging

dim basalt
#

At 14 it becomes trickier for sure, 15 also doable

#

16 is where it's really tough from what I've heard

balmy kindle
#

At 15 you probably need like really really good players though

dim basalt
#

Ye

balmy kindle
#

I am not the type to push that far okayge

dim basalt
#

As you usually play with the same few people who are at that level

balmy kindle
#

It's more a a close circle

dim basalt
#

Yeah

#

We also have a boomy who pugged a lot of 15s

#

But he can't go higher because he's not meta

quaint otter
dim basalt
#

Nobody wants to invite him lmao

balmy kindle
#

The cool part about non meta specs is you get to be high ranked in your realm / region okayge

quaint otter
#

Nobody wants me in 12s either but when i get in i have a buyer playing incident there okayge

dim basalt
#

If only that was worth something

balmy kindle
#

Well it looks cool on raid Io that's all

dim basalt
#

Ye

balmy kindle
#

Dying is the problem

dim basalt
#

Yup

#

Assa has an easier time getting invited I think

slow saddle
#

At least they have a range

#

For the love of god

#

Buff ip

dim basalt
#

And boomy is only really playable with a ppal imo

steep osprey
#

I get invited very easily on enha

#

into 11s even, when i only have 3 11s timed

dim basalt
#

11s are 10s anyway

balmy kindle
#

By just being meta spec one can fail upwards okayge

dim basalt

Hi I'm new here

I'm a rerturning player after break from a few years

Could maybe someone give me some tips? my dps is pretty low in M+ arround 800K overall for my item lvl I should do more ?

slow saddle
#

Yes

#

But also what keys do u run

#

And with which grps

quaint otter
#

Play better 🤷‍♀️

slow saddle
#

Ngl at 800k

#

That is prob the answer

#

Press cleave harder

#

Actually i found slayer arms quite fun if volatile

steep osprey
#

why aren't the nerfing silken

Coz like a 2 u do less overall than a 10++

True, I went to look at the wcl logs too and it's grey

marble crystal
#

i will run a keystone later and i will send a screenshot of details

balmy kindle
#

Sorry out of curiosity I went to see one of the SOB 9 you ran and you did like 550k overall

#

One of things that struck out was that for some reason even tho you are running slayer, cleave and TR make up the highest part of your damage

dim basalt
#

I know how to deal damage in M+ but I dunno how to analyze logs

balmy kindle
#

I went to look at the rotation and he for some reason did TR into bladestorm

#

On the first pull

dim basalt
#

Did like 2M in a +8 SV recently but that was also with colossus

#

(no aug)

#

But to be fair Im overgeared as fuck

#

Running around with 637.4 ilvl

Else I would know it yep

#

But the artstyle reminds me of it

manic river
marble crystal
balmy kindle
#

The opener in aoe is like charge>clap> roar> activate your avatar and trinks> warbreaker bladestorm > sweeping > cleave ( due to merciless bone grinder) > cleave or ms depending if exhilarating blows procs or not > overpower as filler

#

Not having warbreaker applied is a big dmg loss

#

In addition, for some reason reap is a very low portion of your damage which should not be the case

#

Reap the storm is practically your aoe output on slayer arms outside of cleave and bladestorm

marble crystal
#

thanks mate i will try this i think I am playing my warbreaker wrong

fossil thistle
#

Should not use Demolish until ravager is done, and just keep spamming cleave because the damage amplifier?

rancid solstice
#

You should demolish when you hit 10stacks

#

Your cleave will on cooldown at some point

fossil thistle
#

Well between resets and avatar CDR it’s like 2.1S cd

#

I’ve been sending instantly at 10 stacks I figured that was the case, was just wondering if there’s better success to be had otherwise 😄

rancid solstice
#

Oh you’re playing blademaster torment? I’d still get Demolish on cd asap if at 10stacks

fossil thistle
#

Yea I’ve been enjoying it.

#

Early iteration of colossus build.
L I haven’t even swapped to warbreaker 😂

Do we lose any ST taking collosus over slayer rn? Been a bit since I've been in the swing of arms.

#

This is for M+

fathom shoal
#

For m+ collusus is much behind on ST compared to slayer.

fossil thistle
#

Very mucho

fathom shoal
#

But I find it way easier to get higher overall with collusus

fossil thistle
#

I peak like 1.1 st lmaoo

#

^^^

rancid solstice
#

Main downside of Colo is the crap boss damage

fossil thistle
#

Mind you there are variables.
But same group, same dungeon on a 10, colossus was ~430k overall more then slayer.

balmy kindle
#

welp nothing in vault again

fossil thistle
balmy kindle
#

welp its socket on wrist i gues

fossil thistle
#

You can always take valor stones

dim basalt
#

Colossus ST feels awful in M+

#

But sometimes you dont need more aoe but boss damage or prio damage instead

inner terrace
#

Seems like most top warriors are taking collosus for M+ rn, with some taking slayer. Are they are least pretty close as it stands right now?

dim basalt
#

At least if you more about completing the key

balmy kindle
#

just grab the specs that can do boss damage

dim basalt
#

Slayer is straight up better in certain keys like CoT

#

Where you dont need a lot of aoe damage

inner terrace
#

That makes sense, case by case basis

dim basalt
#

yup

#

Think GB is also like that

#

Cant do big pulls there

#

And bosses in that dungeon hit like a truck too

inner terrace
#

Probably mists pugs where tanks are less likely to pull bigger

#

Too

dim basalt
#

Also for first boss its nice to have more ST

#

But dunno what the consensus is for Mists

inner terrace
#

I smee, ty.

dim basalt
#

Dont think Colossus is needed in that one

#

The big pulls you have arent dangerous

balmy kindle

Dangerous for le tank

#

hey guys for collossus M+, whazt think is the best spread of the 3 point2/1 ou 1/2 ?

livid cloak
#

Colossus does more on ingra maloch because of demolish burst during burn phase

#

Also having demolish for adds on last boss in city are nice and for the big pulls before bosses 1 and 3

dim basalt
#

hmm

#

Fair points

odd nimbus
fossil thistle
#

Tbh overall more damage output is more time saved over straight boss damage

#

Especially when you’re doing 25-30% more overall

#

If it was 5-10% diff I’d think otherwise but the gap is big

wheat lagoon
#

What? Between slayer and colossus?

inner terrace
#

If that's the case then yes it would absolutely justify going collosus in all scenarios but you still see people playing slayer arms in higher keys

fossil thistle
#

Slayer can be succesful yea, but colossus is consistently higher on average.
(ara-kara being used just as an example)

#

Now if someone wants to go ahead and take all the logs and do an average feel free 😂😂

#

(Although you’re right, it’s not 25-30% more, that’s just what it is for me 😂 maybe I just can’t slayer correctly in AoE)

eager sigil
#

without the few ones at the top they look very similar

fossil thistle
#

There’s definitely a gap, albeit smaller then I was thinking.
I’d still wager on about 10%

inner terrace
#

I still think that's a bit much 10% is an insane amount of lost damage overall. There are classes that do have this much variance in their hero talent builds and you see at the top they just never ever take the other talent for M+.

#

That's just statistics tho. I still have to get better at both of them.

fossil thistle
#

For sure. Play what you like, don’t chase min maxing.
I enjoyed colossus during beta and I’m happy it’s playable now 😄

any thoughts on this build? dropping the 2 execute talents on the right for extra bleed damage seemed cool (for more aoe and less st) until i realised id have to lose battlelords torment to pick upo the second droar point aswell and losing that cleave CD reduction to cleave in avatar seems it might be a big aoe loss, any thoughts?
