#

Battlelord is good it gives rage? And a reset chance

fresh spire
#

But I found something that drops rend on aoe

steep osprey
#

uh oh

fresh spire
#

Rend in slayer is turbo ass without sks

slow saddle
#

Battlelord or u gotta spam slam morr

#

Ahh i still dream col is bis

steep osprey
#

Btw what about bloodsurge

#

do we know how that's gonna work yet

#

since they changed it

fresh spire
#

Arma hooked us up with tier stuff so getting to play with that soon enough

#

The goat himself

steep osprey
#

Maybe bloodsurge procs a lot in aoe

fresh spire
#

At work so not had the opportunity other than running talents I had setup to see difference.

steep osprey
#

and we spam execute

fresh spire
steep osprey
#

I think they should remove rend

fresh spire
#

Sets a little sus

steep osprey
#

and buff Deep Wounds by 200%

fresh spire
#

I dread to check holding op thresholds

steep osprey
#

Thoughts on that

#

Removing Rend and buffing DW

fresh spire
#

As much as people hate bleeds they have been a part of arms for as long as I remember

#

Wpuld be nice if we had alternates for people who didn't like them

steep osprey
#

Sure but Rend is just an annoying uptime thing

#

Might as well just remove rend and buff dw

#

it's the same thing

#

I think arms needs some sort of interaction aside from OP resets

fresh spire
#

Thing is they give alternate for rend you will still sks

steep osprey
#

it's not exciting

#

or engaging

fresh spire
#

Sks disgusting strong even with just deepwounds

steep osprey
#

Idm SkS if we only have one bleed

fresh spire
#

Rend is just 2x value on our tree because of sks

steep osprey
#

and one like DW that you apply by playing the game

fresh spire
#

Dw is 0 brain anyway

steep osprey
#

You go out of your way to apply rend

#

and it's tedious

#

Do you have any ideas for how they can improve arms to be a good spec?

fresh spire
#

Clap or ms 0 brain

#

Been wanting to check about playing more of a less caring playstyle with rend where you only reapply it when you can ms and op

#

Ep is the biggest culprits for rotational changes/holding other talents back. Alongside Fatality being generally weak

steep osprey
#

I want more interactive fun things than just rend and clap

#

where's the big rework

#

that everyone's getting

#

they don't know what to do with warrior

#

and we have to suffer for it

steep osprey
#

It needs to be baseline or higher up

#

am i cooked

fresh spire
#

Also

#

Unhinged is a huge kiss curse

#

Ravager gives good rage gen

#

But holy fuck does unhinged being take ruin talents

#

3 talent points taking away battlelord/fatal/jug gaming

#

Can't have either like dragonflight without cripping numbers

tacit crystal
#

ruin deez

livid cloak
#

I like the way arms plays with eb and bl. If ms base was more impactful, execute didn't take so many talent points to be worth, jugg was longer durati9n buff (30 or 45s?) And cleave worked with bloodletting i would be thrilled

#

I only do heroic raid so I don't really look at it from that perspective, just doing keys

fresh spire
#

Issue with ep is that pressing it is more valuable than actually mortal striking.

#

The ability your buffing should always be worth pressing even before buffs

livid cloak
#

Sorry I meant eb

fresh spire
#

Rn in execute pushing ms on 1/0 stacks is a dps loss. Even in colossus

livid cloak
#

But yes you are right

#

Ms on cd should basically be a firm commandment

#

And it's not

#

Which is nad

#

Bad

fresh spire
#

They buffed ms trying to make this more of a thing bit the issue didn't change. All it did was bring eb back to life and nuke bb

boreal quartz
#

Need fatality and TOM buff

fresh spire
#

Any resets will always be wasted sub 35 because its more worth to execute and gain the 70% damage amp than it is to just send ms with a single amp

#

Fatality is so back rn at least (still only hits like 2% of your damage though )

naive sage
#

Can you pin this?

gaunt owl
#

omg thats is so cursed if Fatality is back in

tacit crystal
#

is that for st?

#

no tom sadge

boreal quartz
#

Obviously

tacit crystal
fresh spire
#

No point pinning. Likely to change when I get to play with apl

#

Also not current content so would cause confusion

lethal acorn
#

Logs when raid colossus is being compared to raid slayer isn't really fair, how about logs when I played venthyr arms when it was fun and viable?

#

On paper but you have to always have op on CD otherwise I feel like 1/2 deft doesn't feel awful

thick kelp
#

The apl is optimized to play oåtimally woth 1/2 and 2/2

#

so just follow sims bigsmile

sweet kindle
#

Even in mythic plus is better to use Authoirty of the depths?

lethal acorn
thick kelp
#

good thing it does more damage

#

to play 2/2

#

numbers dont care about your feelings

lethal acorn
#

usually when something feels like shit and is barely better

#

it affects peformance whether what you're playing is fun or not

thick kelp
#

also pre execute it plays and feels the same to be 1/2 or 2/2 anw

#

but in exe 2/2 feels much better

lethal acorn
#

I mean I'm already not playing slayer in raid

#

In shadowlands season 1 what I enjoyed happened to be meta so I orange parsed

#

right now my parses are purple or blue because I'm competing with another hero talent that's more viable in raid

#

I'm not gonna play something I don't like unless I mythic raid again like I did in SL and end of BFA

#

I'm just happy colossus is the pick for M+

thick kelp
#

Cool, im also playing colossus in raid parsing orange and pink

tacit crystal
#

walhe my goat

lethal acorn
tacit crystal
#

i think its just play

lethal acorn
#

I think you’re his biggest fan

tacit crystal
#

incorrect

halcyon valve
tacit crystal
#

tom soonokayge

lethal acorn
#

I don’t want fatality back ever

fresh spire
#

Tbf

#

I haven't got around to testing stuff with tier

#

I'll try Tom no op bs

tacit crystal
#

🙂

halcyon valve
#

replacing fatality with a cooked insane talent:
when your target is below 35%, casting mortal strike has a chance to cast a free execute with 50% effectiveness

raven ridge
#

That would actually fit the talent name

fresh spire
#

Just make fatal pop when under 35 and keep applying

#

Ms randomly hurting 276% ap harder would be nice

tacit crystal
#

or increase proc rate and damage no?

fresh spire
#

Na blizzard can't do that

#

Would be to smart

fresh spire
#

Yo that's me

#

I mean if it just scaled of mastery it would be a start

#

It's not even effected by auras

tacit crystal
#

XD

#

how much you want to bet its just a result of shitty codebase

fresh spire
#

We run like what? 25% mastery. Instant free damage

tacit crystal
#

with horrible documentation

fresh spire
#

Nah its been asked about before but nothings been changed

tacit crystal

shadow ibex
#

Tom otw

fresh spire
#

I'll cook tom

#

Lets really make the spec sick

#

Never op only slam

#

Op when cs and Tom down

tacit crystal
#

too far fishy

fresh spire
#

I have to at least test it

#

At some point

#

I couldn't see it being worth

#

Delaying op usage when op gives 15% itself vs 20% of the set isn't a number worth not using

#

More about those moments where you have 10 stacks and op doesn't brick it

#

Chunky 20%+15%

halcyon valve
shadow ibex
#

Fatality needs rework but meh

#

Just throw numbers at it

#

Interacting with MS casts a lot makes sense since it's under BL

#

But also in the "bleed" tree

halcyon valve
#

the execute shit from s2? df? but on ms
so under 35%, ms applies another bleed that repeats 30% of the damage

rare kite
#

no deft seems so cursed

shadow ibex
#

Just give mortal combo as capstone

#

Make it super sexy

fresh spire
#

Set bonus up around 27%

shadow ibex
#

Reward lots of Mad casts

fresh spire
#

So 3 second cooldown overpower

#

Quite often

shadow ibex
#

Yea why need deft

#

More resets

halcyon valve
#

make colossus smash work like touch of the magi, it builds up damage and then explodes kekw

shadow ibex
#

When it's already low CD

rare kite
#

ye that's fair, if set uptime is decent

#

same talents for slayer? except ravager ofc

shadow ibex
#

We're happy with warrior it's why we make tier sets that make talents weaker

halcyon valve
#

class so good they have to nerf us

#

ong they should just make me the arms designer, i would fuck shit up in such funny ways

dire hinge
#

funny "haha", or funny "weird"

halcyon valve
#

ill invent 2 new hero talents exclusive to arms that completely change the spec

#

one is just the d3 barb

wotlk: Trauma, Juggernaut
cataclysm: Wrecking Crew, Lambs to the Slaughter, Executioner, Incite
mop: Staggering and/or Disrupting Shouts, Bloodbath, Recklessness, Skull Banner (this one is insanely strong)
wod: Taste for Blood, Slam, the fire stuff, Enhanced Rend
legion: Overpower, Sweeping Strikes, Trauma, Focused Rage, Opportunity Strikes, Battle Cry
shadowlands: Enduring Blow, Ancient Aftershock, Mortal Combo

#

All cool effects from the past they could use

#

If they're not able to come up with new ideas

warped ether
#

Skull banner pls ty

rare kite
#

skull banner was almost added in dragonflight. thankfully it was not

fresh spire
#

Necro banner>spear

strange perch
#

I would like to have a banner with BL effect on it

languid burrow
#

Wasn't the main issue with Skull banner that the devs didn't want to make it a off-GCD?

#

I don't see an issue with something like Skull banner if it's an off-GCD

manic river
#

So, is ring decent now for us?

manic river
shadow ibex
#

Just need a dev who cares about the spec and wants to make something cool

dim basalt
#

I feel like if warrior ever gets a bigger overhaul they add BL to us

#

It just makes so much sense

midnight mural
steep osprey
manic river
#

Most if the time I think they just say, hey, you have two working specs, one tank and at least one decent dps, it's good enough, let's look at the other classes

steep osprey
#

That is true indeed but I do think they don't know what they want warrior to be or how to make it more exciting or fully developed

#

I find it funny people talk about how MS has a lot of modifiers and without them it does 0 damage

#

but in legion that was also the case

dim basalt
#

Problem is that multiple specs are/were outdated and they can't fix all of them at once

#

They overhauled SV and did even more changes for the anni patch, next patch MM gets a lot of fixing done

steep osprey
#

I do think that warrior is in a worse state than Hunter but it's not up to

dim basalt
#

Nah hunter was really ducking bad

#

Before TWW

steep osprey
#

At least they are fixing hunter

dim basalt
#

Warrior is not even close to what hunter was

steep osprey
#

Then it's one less class they have to fix

dim basalt
#

Yup

steep osprey
#

Let me think of all the classes they've made good changes to since TWW

#

Hunter, shaman

dim basalt
#

Sham, Hunter

#

And some rogue stuff ig

steep osprey
#

Yeah, rogue is not in a bad place so I guess u can count that too

#

although I know there's some stuff that needs fixing

#

not high prio tho

dim basalt
#

Rogue is pretty fine rn

#

Druid is still ???

steep osprey
#

Havoc can be happy for a while with their s3 tier set being back next patch lol

#

I actually find druid to be in a good place too

dim basalt
#

So if I had to take a guess it is druid or war next

#

Or perhaps monk

steep osprey
#

Idk considering druid literally got a lot of changes recently

#

especially boomkin

dim basalt
#

But monk playerbase is sooo low

steep osprey
#

Monk got a rework

#

maybe not brew

#

but the other specs did

dim basalt
#

Yet nobody plays WW or brew

steep osprey
#

well, it took a while for them to rework those

#

lol

#

Spriest probably needs help

dim basalt
#

Fuck spriest

steep osprey
#

I think warlock is fine too

dim basalt
#

They will never know what to do with spriest

steep osprey
#

mage is ok but they always make changes to mage and it never ends up well lol

dim basalt
#

Mage is mostly numbers anyway

#

Mechanically they're fine

rare kite
#

ww monk changes in tww very good. ww just undertuned

steep osprey
#

Spriest has so many issues imo, the mobility of spriest is trash because they channel 80% of the time

#

and the ability they channel deals most of their damage

But that is indeed good

rare kite
steep osprey
#

Well, fuck mark of the crane

#

No one liked that

rare kite
#

oh i agree, just saying the spinning crane kick buff is just compensation

steep osprey
#

True

#

Is it a buff or a nerf

#

considering mark is gone

rare kite
#

honestly don't remember how much mark of the crane is per stack

steep osprey
#

18%

#

5

#

so it's 90% on 5 targets

#

10% nerf I guess

rare kite
#

plus the 2% aura nerf

steep osprey
#

2% aura nerf was a compensation for mastery buff

rare kite
#

ah ye tru

steep osprey
#

They should probably further buff SCK tho

#

or buff Dance of Chiji

#

Ok paladins are also in a good place

#

forgot about them

rare kite
#

buff sck, buffing dance is not it. already a massive difference between base sck and dance

steep osprey
#

sure but dance is not as rng as it used to be

#

you always get it after using whirling dragon punch

#
  • rng
rare kite
#

that's if using the talent for it, the other one might be too good now with the courageous impulse buff

steep osprey
#

now that i think about it, SCK change is a buff for targets under 5

#

not that that matters lmao

rare kite
#

i mean it might make it pretty decent in st when you proc dance

steep osprey
#

true

#

I've been having fun with feral

#

free bites are so nice

#

in aoe

rare kite
#

wish warrior could get these sweeping changes like other classes have. but they seem so scared, like i think the new fury changes are good but the capstones are still garbage and arms is... well arms

#

martial prowess change very good tho

steep osprey
#

Well, the capstones won't be garbage

#

with those RA changes

#

At least some of them

#

DoI/UF

#

OS/OF Still trash

rare kite
#

depths of insanity will prob see play, UF proc rate still gigasmall. but we will see about UF

#

and ofcourse storm of steel is still beyond dead

steep osprey
#

Storm of steel is not a thing that exists in my mind

rare kite
#

honestly i would rather they remove UF and put something else there, buff doi to 8 sec

steep osprey
#

I think DoI should be something like 6 more seconds and the longer you're in reck, the more crit strike damage you do

#

stacking

rare kite
#

i mean depending on how strong new RA is, doi could be really good

steep osprey
#

Yeah but it's very boring

#

needs more than just more duration

rare kite
#

that's fury capstones in a nutshell. very very boring

steep osprey
#

can nerf the duration if u want t o

#

just put in something

#

i think more crit strike damage is a good idea imo

rare kite
#

yea would love for them to make fury like crit a bit more. they did make new cb do more crit damage, but it's only 10% so things probably won't change that much

steep osprey
#

yeah 10% is nothing

#

it needs to be 50% or something

rare kite
#

needs to be higher for sure. idk how much higher, not a math guy. then we have that and cshb

steep osprey
#

CSHB also needs to be giga buffed

tribal kindle
#

I think rend should work just CSHB passive crit to apply it or below 35% talent to get 100% chance to apply it , this would reduce button bloating especially in aoe, no need to hit thunderclap. I miss season 3 Arms dragonflight 4-set. Arms need a lot of QOL improvements.

shadow ibex
#

We're happy with arms

steep osprey

#

Crit isn't terrible for Fury anymore the way it used to be in the past though, so it really doesn't need any more major weighting

rare kite
#

true, i wonder if we will end up prioing bb over cb even with bloodcraze

#

oh yea i know crit isn't terrible, it just isn't great. i personally would love if arms and fury had same stat prio

My goal this season was 3k on arms

So i got it, and now I'm chilling

I think 13 siege and 13 sv are pretty doable, but 13 nw has been awful so far

halcyon valve
#

What is it specifically thats causing issues in nw

dim basalt

The dungeon

So in the 3 I've tried it just snowballs

dim basalt
#

NW timer is actually very chill

livid cloak
#

Oh okay

#

Nevermind then

dim basalt
#

But the dungeon has a lot of parts that can cause random deaths

livid cloak
#

Its an easy key

#

Just bad, I forgot

dim basalt
#

I think on +19 Kiras group had almost 4 minutes left

#

Ofc with the cheese but

icy mulch
#

You mean a ton of cheese.

#

They abused the clever throw for almost as much damage as they did.

dim basalt
#

Mhm

livid cloak
#

Idk why, it's a very lenient timer easy dungeon

dim basalt
#

In our +14 we didn't use it because timer was good and still had 3m left

icy mulch
#

I don't think it's required cheese till 16+

#

I could be wrong though.

dim basalt
#

You want it at 13+ if aug

#

Else you get blasted by endboss

icy mulch
#

Aug is a curse on both Stitchflesh and last boss.

dim basalt
#

Unfortunately

#

But with Aug the cheese is super easy to do

icy mulch
#

Yeah

dim basalt
#

Takes practice on Stitchflesh but super easy on last boss

icy mulch
#

Just Aug isn't really worth it till 15-16+

Prot player, keksquad so they should know better.

Honestly, I can understand that

Sometimes I just forget that something actually does damage to me now

because it just doesn't do damage while I'm tanking

One of the least represented specs that we always seem to need to buff 6% a few weeks after any content patch

We are very proud of it purpleface

warriors were having too much fun. Heroic leap has been reworked to weak knees: jumping now slows you by 70% for 2 seconds

Sucks

mystic python
#

That season 2 set bonus looks very underwhelming

#

Am I overreacting or is that like... really bad

quaint otter
#

Yes its shit

mystic python
#

Comparing it to Unholy is just night and day

quaint otter
#

Check frost one too

mystic python
#

Their spender is what is buffed (death coil/epidemic) and their main cooldown instantly full stacks their winning streak nd stops it from falling off

#

oh my god

#

the frost one is just the arms one

#

butr better

#

Here your filler button can make your big damage fall off, but you get a free big cast out of it.

icy mulch
#

What really makes it bad is that it punishes playing the rotation properly.

mystic python
#

Inb4 we just slam instead of overpower unless we're out of rage

#

because it risks losing MS damage

#

For the grand bonus of chain overpowering for a few seconds

brittle fiber
#

if the tier set is based off all forms of spell damage on top of pressing abilities, the only real chance we lose winning streak is due to bad rng

mystic python
#

Overpower has a 15% chance to remove it

brittle fiber
#

yea but it hasn't been confirmed what the chances are to gain it

mystic python
#

It doesn't matter what they are

#

Every six or seven times you push overpower you'll lose it

brittle fiber
#

yes but that's why i said if it's based on all forms of spell damage, including bleeds, the damage procs from BS or TR, then it's slightly less bad

mystic python
#

The 4 set is going to cause us to rage cap if we actually utilize it, too

brittle fiber
#

we already do

Exactly

#

It's just a bad move to do that with

brittle fiber
#

yea im not disagreeing

#

i'm just saying it's very unlikely for us to lose all stacks of winning streak through overpower alone

mystic python
#

It should have been cdr on csmash or a free cast of whirlwind/cleave or something

brittle fiber
#

we only lose it to bad rng procs through not gaining or op removing it too much which either way feels bad

mystic python
#

Oh fuck, Outlaw's is good too

#

Why is almost every melee handling this bonus better

icy mulch
#

Because they don't understand the situation with warrior. The prot changes are a tell tale sign of that.

mystic python
#

The prot changes are just

#

so frustrating

#

Legitimately take one of the most fun feeling tank specs (that isn't even the top performer) and bludgeon its rage generation and primary damage reduction button to death simultaneoulsy.

#

Demon Hunter just gets 10% crit from the set bonus, what the fuck

#

Oh my god the ret one.

#

4 seconds of infinite HP

icy mulch
#

Not much point getting too worked up about it. Blizzard gonna do what Blizzard gonna do. Eventually when no one plays warrior anymore they fix something.

brittle fiber
#

it's funny because on wowhead and reddit all "outlaw" rogues are complaining but it's actually a really good tier set

icy mulch
#

To at least provide some sort positive spin in things, it's still has tuning passes to go through on the PTR. So it could likely change.

#

I'm not saying it will, but if it really performs like shit and actually not something we would use, then they would have to change it.

hushed pine
#

And yeah considering there's still testing pending we could get a talent rework or something copium

brittle fiber
#

I think arms shouldve got the jackpot gimmick instead of winning streak

#

We’re a class built on big burst window anyways

teal fossil
#

are we

#

Why has our damage profile been flat for the last 5 years

teal fossil
#

Though they didn’t think it through

brittle fiber
hushed pine
#

I'd take some consistent damage

teal fossil
#

I feel like arms should not be a execute spec

#

But we don’t always get what we want

brittle fiber
#

it makes sense more than fury being an execute

shadow ibex
#

is it flat cuz of tom

#

or EB uptime in SL

#

or tom again in DF

teal fossil

flat coke or flat spirte

#

Tom gone

#

Burst come back

#

Ngl though SL's arms i liked

#

Coz flat but if u lost a bit of uptime it wasnt death

#

Or cs parried. Well u applied cs with sone luck

#

So punishment wasnt 2 bad

#
  • i loved sylvanas raid ngl
icy mulch
icy mulch
# hushed pine Mechanics wise

Mechanics wise it's adding RnG to a spec that plays around RnG. Worst part, we don't even get much reward from the RnG. Cause MS requires overpower buff to actually hit decently.

#

So like I said last night, the set punishes you for playing the rotation correctly.

I loved ancient aftershock

icy mulch
#

I love ancient aftershock as well, I still am a winter queen simp.
That raid though....

slow saddle
#

I mean painsmith was fun

#

I was there later

#

Was prob hell as high lvl raider

#

I enjoyed the soul guy as well..

#

The ping pong boss.. not so mucj

icy mulch
#

Painsmith, Fatescribe, those were stupidly overtuned or just really shit design.

slow saddle

Kelthuzad was only dissappointment

Sl rly had banger raids

Lots of issues. But raids where good

Castle Natheria was my favorite.

Ps was great

Fatescribe horrid

Coz u had to hold dps

icy mulch
#

Thematically, Painsmith was cool, just super overtuned for a long time.

halcyon valve
#

Was painsmith way overtuned specifically for world first? Absolutely
Was it still a badass fight? Hell yeah

slow saddle
#

Wasnt there early enough for that to matter

#

The balls where annoying, but u got a hang of it at some point

icy mulch
#

I didn't come back to the fame till Dragonflight.

halcyon valve
#

The true let down was guardian being piss immediately afterwards

slow saddle
#

That fight tighter tuned

#

Couldda been insane

#

Like for my guild it was ok

icy mulch
#

Ha, Guardian was a push over. Him and KT.

halcyon valve
#

For my guild at the time, the boss having just like 5-10% more hp and dmg wouldve made things interesting

slow saddle
#

Kt took ages for us

halcyon valve
#

Kt sucked

slow saddle
#

100%

#

Which is why ppl hate the raid imho

#

And sylv p2

#

Sylv p1 and p3 where good

halcyon valve
#

Yep

#

The actual sylvanas fight phases were pretty spot on

slow saddle
#

Yeah

icy mulch
#

Yeah, don't know what happened on Sylv part 2 or 3. When I came back in Dragonflight, the guild had collapsed.

slow saddle
#

Heroic p1 lol

#

Mythic p1 was fun

halcyon valve
#

P2 was arguably still one of the better phases that forced a raid split, but it just took so long

slow saddle
#

Ye half the time in p2

#

And it would prob have felt good

icy mulch
#

I will say all Shadowlands was not as big of a piss off as the Aug voker release.

slow saddle
#

I just think ppl in gen shit on sl coz of first 3 months and last draught

halcyon valve
#

Shadowlands had lots of good stuff in it

slow saddle
#

Once u could swap the factions

halcyon valve
#

But also lots of bad stuff

icy mulch

I liked all of Ardenweald and the Tyrannde storyline.

halcyon valve

#

Sylv was a horrid villian

#

So was jailor

halcyon valve
#

Fuck the nightfae voices i cant hear it

icy mulch
#

Matt Mercer is a great voice actor.

slow saddle
#

Leggo and shit was also fixxed

#

Whole issue was start imho

icy mulch
#

Whole issue was Chore/Boreghast and the Maw.

halcyon valve
#

Wake up babe, its time for your mandatory torghast runs to avoid falling behind

slow saddle
#

Exactly, but that was the beginning

#

It was horrid

icy mulch
#

The Maw never became fun.

halcyon valve
#

Torghast was cool on its own, but tying legendary crafting requirements to it with a 2x runs per week requirement sucked

halcyon valve
slow saddle
#

Last place

#

Was great though

halcyon valve
#

Korthia was the only time when the maw was interesting

slow saddle

What was name again

halcyon valve

Zereth mortis?

Pretty zone, not a fan

slow saddle

I loved it

#

Well prob just coz we colors

icy mulch
#

I dispised the whole, "they're all constructs," angle. Really lessens the gravitas of all the Covenant leaders.

slow saddle
#

But ppl saying sl was worst expansion ever. Didnt play it

icy mulch
#

They clearly didn't play WoD.

slow saddle
#

What ill never get is

#

Legion.. they had it

#

The timetable of what ppl expect

#

Had they kept that up in sl.. wow wouldda made so mucg green

icy mulch

Suramar did a lot of heavy lifting for that expac.

With corona and all

slow saddle
icy mulch
#

I wish I had of stuck around for t3 of Dragonflight. Going back and farming all the stuff for the legendary, really made me wish I played it when it was current. It looked fun.

#

Plus, when player housing comes, that zone is most likely a night elf option.

Crazy idea make arms do a fuckton of damage with auto attacks and make talents and spell work around this

Juggernaut down to 5 stacks, 5% per stack, execute baseline 30% more damage

No, not even Juggernaut. All of it gone, just raw unfiltered execute doing massive dps.

eager sigil

i think to fix arms gameplay all we need is a 50% aura buff

untold trench
# icy mulch No, not even Juggernaut. All of it gone, just raw unfiltered execute doing mass...

Problem is if you make execute do massive DPS, then your damage profile get backloaded when balanced. As WoW generally try to have it so all classes do similar overall DPS. Backloaded profiles are generally not popular by most, as everyone seem to want to be decent DPS at all times.

There is no win, as even if you get what you want... The balance team will take that and kill the fun put of it.

A Nerf here, a move of DPS in the profile there, all untill you again barely do damage with exe. All so the profile stays flat and balanced ⚖️

When execute is so strong it's not even worth pressing mortal strike other than to rend is a huge issue though

shadow ibex

rare kite
strange perch
icy mulch
#

Simple, bake all that damage and bonus damage to other abilities into things as baseline. This will mean a rework of our mastery.

rare kite
hushed pine
#

Or mastery gets reworked into enduring blow, mortal strike has a chance to apply cs for 6-8 seconds

rare kite
#

that would also be better than what we have. only thing we are still centered around overpower then, and overpower doesn't feel particularly great. tbf overpower doesn't feel bad either, it's just kinda there...

hushed pine
#

The problem with it is that it's tied to martial prowess. If you removed it and buffed mortal strike by a ton to compensate, and gave overpower the taste for blood treatment (plus the extra crit chance), that'd make it more interesting

#

I mean it'd give you an incentive to keep Rend up at all times to begin with

#

Remember how MS and overpower would crit everytime they were up? Good times

icy mulch
#

Yeah, we should be rewarded for keeping rend on things. As is we don't even track or bother tracking deep wounds.

#

Maybe if deep wounds built and stacked to be super strong, but I don't think that's even been considered.

hushed pine
#

I don't think it's a good idea for all our damage to be tied to bleeds. Let them do decent damage, sure, but not to the point where we're trying to be feral druids

icy mulch
#

As stated earlier, I'd rather not be concerned about bleeds. I also don't want it to be Fury 2.0.

rare kite
#

i think arms should be more proc centric, should be more about breaking defenses. you proc then bam! big damage

Mastery reworked to %chance for double strike on Mortal Strike / Cleave / Execute? Pepexecute

They could make it like shadowlands where rend increases crit damage on target taken by 10%

Why can't rend be worth applying just by doing raw damage as a goal? Simple, pure and easy to implement Hydrate

eager sigil
#

well thats how it is rn no?

hushed pine
#

Rend is only applied thru MS when target is 35% health or below if you're specd into Bloodletting

Whereas something like Lambs to the Slaughter made MS refresh Rend on the target while increasing our damage

you got a mount

rn its just MOP scenarios

solo boss have the problem of being tuned to multiple class

#

they could plunderstorm it

enter in with set abillities

#

for that fight

gaunt owl
#

oh yeah thats one way to do it

minor gust
#

wouldnt really be content you play with your class at that point

#

but would be interesting

#

would basically just be a test of your wow mechanics

gaunt owl
#

they are trying to do some FF14 stuff

but half assed

#

you up to date with 11.1 stuff like the drifting car mounts

gaunt owl
#

i didnt check anything

other than the little class change we see
