but for whatever reason with details the first warrior to get hit with the spell reflect takes credit for the dmg of both reflects

Shoutout Tmy for giving me these and for discussing deviations from the sim APL - I just opened the pull request to WoWAnalyzer so hopefully that should be merged by like the end of the week and you arms enjoyers can actually use it again

Ye but i saw it float around at week 1 alr

#

Week 2 i defo did it as well

woven wasp
#

also you never expect spell reflect to work a certain way

#

its always doing something wacky

wooden lava
#

do you guys feel like colossus arms does a bunch of work, only to end up being mediocre in damage

#

the only exception i'd make is my gear is suited for fury

boreal quartz
#

Colo fiends for crit

wooden lava
#

damn that's unfortunate, i have 14% crit

boreal quartz
#

Try run a topgear to full recraft/regem ur shit to crit

#

Should be a big diff

#

(still wont do slayer damage)

wooden lava
#

Is slayer Arms better?

boreal quartz
#

Ye

shadow ibex
#

Better at putting you to sleep

boreal quartz
#

Is the closest it gets to being ok

#

And even then if u push into exe by i2

#

Slayer does more i think

shadow ibex
#

A blue class wouldn't have to put up with the shit we do

#

Fuckin jugg

wooden lava
#

Colossus is better for M+ tho right?

quaint otter

A bit more complicated than ret but actually easy

hey there, I'm struggling to understand how the next tier set will impact our rotation, as i understand it, it incentivize to not press overpower until the buff is sufficently stacked. Is that correct or it wont change our rotation that much ?

i dont want to press slam

#

also question about using cleave and mortal strike within rotation in m+ its fine to use them without overpower buffs right?

or do i just slam

Howdy arms enjoyers, it's your friendly neighborhood oatmeal eater back again to let you know that arms is now also (kind of) supported in WoWAnalyzer

Things it does:
Check your casts against the sim APL
Check that you're using your major cds as many times as you can
Check that you're syncing your BS with CS/Ava
Shows you which specific casts were incorrect, and tells you why (although the grammar for the tooltip is a little sus, not much I could do about that)

Things it doesn't do:
Probably a lot of things, I was mostly just updating the existing (3 year old) APL checker
Handle high-roll gamba situations where you intentionally deviate from the APL and hope for rage refunds/cd resets

As with the previous changes for fury, I'm not sure when exactly these changes will be deployed and available, but the PR has been merged
Some sample screenshots:

boreal quartz
#

Good work

lean geode
#

Oh one more thing I should note, it only really supports slayer atm

#

It does support both opportunist and FF slayer, but doesn't check anything related to colossus whatsoever

#

If I get some time I should be able to add colossus support without too much trouble, but it's not a high priority atm

#

👍 wowanalyzer is a great tool for begineers

#

Especially if youre new/too lazy to check these things on logs

minor gust
#

Never used it but good job

hazy flower
#

Its great when youre checking someone that does negative dps without knowing what his class does

#

As well

#

Especially if youre playing with him more than once (:

minor gust
#

Some people just don't press their buttons enough. I learned this while playing classic and was confused why the frost mage was doing so little dmg when their rotation is just press frostbolt.

#

1 minute fight 10 casts

lean geode
#

If there's a tool that'll tell them that and direct them to the guides for more information, it means I don't have to

If we took triple abilities

#

How bloated can this shit get

hazy flower
#

Like say tank is gathering and u spread rend

#

U wont do ur actual rotation then

#

Im guessing youre talking about keys right

lean geode
#

No, I've only ever run it on logs for raid fights lol

#

And almost exclusively single target raid fights

#

low hanging fruit type shit

hazy flower
#

Oh

#

Yeah then idk

dire hinge
#

take a lot of auto-generated audits with massive grains of salt

#

great for seeing the low hanging fruit like you mentioned (did you miss 3 casts of Avatar? Forgot to eat food?) but nuanced stuff it gets kinda shaky with

# teal fossil from my understanding wowanalyzer is insanely difficult

Honestly it hasn't been that bad to work with, but it's all typescript stuff and that's most of what I do for work, although it's a React app and I mostly work on Angular stuff. Getting things 100% perfect and accounting for more niche use cases would be monstrous, but just getting the basic stuff set up isn't bad past the initial learning curve of a new code base

#

I need to come to #arms more tho, you guys are way nicer than #fury was after I updated their shit

#

They told me to pound sand and then went back to frogposting

fresh spire
#

fury is ape channel
arms is sometimes monkey mode but for most part just chill and quiet

shadow ibex
#

Where build

delicate siren
#

okay guys, sorry for dumb question... but is there any reason why i shouldnt macro my avatar to CS/WB?

dire hinge
#

within dungeons there might be times where you want to save Avatar for a larger, upcoming, or difficult pack, but you want to send WB on the current pack (say it's at half health and you can get it back before the next back). If you macro them together, Avatar would send into a low-hp pack and not be ready for the big spooky one next pull

#

it's good to have the ability to send them separately

tacit crystal
#

but the desyncing is also not good

delicate siren
#

yeah okay thats my thoughts. i was probably going to have a naked WB, and a WB + avatar macro to split for that exact circumstance. same keybinds, just wanted to make sure if i want them to sync, one less button

dire hinge
#

yee of course, good luck out there

meanest Canadian argument

rocky quartz
#

Should I be trying to empower my cleave in aoe with Op stacks or should I cast cleave on cd/soon as possible

dire hinge
rocky quartz
#

Ok ty. I think I’ve been over prioritizing stacks when I could be casting cleave more

dire hinge
#

doing colossus or slayer?

rocky quartz
#

Colossus right now

dire hinge
#

yeah, in big trash packs Cleave is your highest spell (behind major CDs, sweeping strikes, etc)

uneven carbon
#

Or os OP due to buffing cleave. And come to think of it does that change during MGB?

cloud gyro
#

dont yoink op stacks from cleave with ms

#

so go like cleave->ms->op->cleave

fresh spire
#

Ms prio is dependent on if you are running dn/soa rn. Though this might just flat out not be the case next patch with mp nerfed and ms/cleave baseline buffed.

Thoughts on maiming arms over fury for prog

#

If I’m still progging

thick kelp
#

sure

lean geode
#

Fury a little tankier, but tbh in most cases if you were gonna die on one spec you would've died on the other

Neither spec is living a charge on court bc web people goofed

perma extending doesnt sound too healthy either

#

not sure what they shoudl do about it tbh

sharp wyvern
#

10% more stamina costs us a good tierset

smoky kayak
#

doesn't need to perma extend, just put a cap on it

#

or something fancier, like not allowing Winning Streak to be consumed while Hedged Bets is active

silk spade
#

wouldnt it be virtaully impossible to drop the buff if it extends in any way

thick kelp
#

Well once you get it rolling atleast once, you can keep a pretty good uptime on it till you proc it like sub 3 stacks from what i feel hitting a dummy for 10mins before bed

real question idr the numbers

smoky kayak
silk spade
#

ah i forgot it has a lockout

smoky kayak

and with only a 15% chance, which isn't that high, that's far from a guarantee

#

it doesn't have a lockout, I'm saying it could

shadow ibex
#

It's OK we'll just suffer for 6 weeks get aura buffed, pump until the. 5 patch when everyone else will get new talents and back to bottom middle of the pack

but all of this is secondary to the fact that it's a really bad bonus lol

I use the movespeed gem so simming gems is largely irrelevant.

can gemming not change with gear?

I suppose it can but were talking about hundreds of dps out of 1.5 million.

sim your gems after the rest of the gear id say

Even less so if you're using a meta gem that locks 3 gems as "off" stat anyways along with its socket not mattering.

random ibex
#

fair

swift crown
#

Gems are pretty low-impact

#

overall

#

Just for comparison in DF S3 a gem was worth 4.3% of a mythic ilvl ring's secondary budget and this is with all the ilvl inflation of 3 seasons. In S1 TWW a Gem is worth 3.2% of a max ilvl ring's secondary budget

#

i.e. gems are quite a lot weaker in TWW S1 than they were in DF S3 comparatively, and they will obviously continue to become weaker going into next season

#

In S2 it'll be closer to 2.5%

cinder dove
#

well this is how it works, it is meant to be used when you know it can be used

if you don't like it you can go slayer

cyan oriole
#

it used to be worse in the beginning of the expansion it'd break all the time due to los or your character getting yanked. im pretty sure they already fixed a bunch of its issues but they werent documented anywhere.

#

but as long as its a castable ability it'll always break due to range

wooden lava
#

It's fine in most of the cases, but that 3-5% where the adds get yanked

#

especially in keys

#

It's the ultimate blue baller

#

and if you're unlucky enough to be casting it while some other shit happens, man...

cyan oriole
#

the only thing you can do yourself is try to add a little bit of speed so you can move slightly as you cast it

#

beginning of the season I had 17% speed and could move quite a bit as I casted it.

#

but it was never enough to fix the cast if the mobs got typhooned away or something. but i could move out of most of the smaller swirls

wooden lava
#

fug, that kinda kills the vibe in keys

cyan oriole
#

you get used to it the more you play it. but you can always go fury or slayer arms. i don't believe it's that big of a difference.

wooden lava
#

in keys?

#

it feels like a world of difference

cyan oriole
#

yeah.

#

i'm im recalling correctly fury thane is a good choice if you dont enjoy colossus

"We feel that Warriors are in a good place overall, however, there are a few places we’d like to make improvements to each spec, and to the class as a whole." meaning they won't make big changes.

#

But they reworked shamans like 4 times already

#

smh

quartz girder
#

Question i'm seeing colossus used a lot for mythic plus but everything i'm seeing recommends to use slayer

wooden lava
#

lmao you guys are doomer as hell

#

Arms enjoyers must be down bad

#

Nah I've just been having a blast on fury

quartz girder
wooden lava
#

I've played warrior at its worst moments

#

Castle Nathria warrior

#

I don't think it's ever been worse than that

naive sage
wooden lava
#

Yep, shit was awful

#

Both specs too...

#

Though lately Arms hasn't been feeling too good either

naive sage
#

In DF it was ok

wooden lava
#

ever since IP stopped contributing to Test of Might

naive sage
#

Especially s1 and s3 were good

wooden lava
#

S1 would've been cheeks if they didn't do a lot of aura buffs throughout the course

#

both specs ended up being strong going into Aberrus

#

They butchered Arms for S3 though

tribal kindle
#

I want to play arms again but it feels worse every time blizzard says something about warrior

wooden lava
#

I heard it was OP for the fated season

boreal quartz
#

But ye it's not very complex

boreal quartz
wooden lava
#

DF

boreal quartz
#

Df we had good tier good tuning

#

Banged hard

untold pewter
#

DF was good yeah

boreal quartz
#

SL fated was aids

#

Condemn i hate you

wooden lava
#

I don't remember arms being good on anything besides like 2 mid bosses

boreal quartz
#

Played 50% haste magus then mainly keks

untold pewter
#

This next tier set doesn't give me hope, sounds like the absolute worst Arms tier set I can recall

wooden lava
#

Court and Nymue

boreal quartz
#

Arms shat on fury in all non pad departments S4 okayge

#

Nymue is not a good arms boss

#

Normal killtimers get u off the boss into intermission in execute

#

Veeeery shit

wooden lava
#

S4 doesn't really count though, that was a mickey mouse season

boreal quartz
#

I liked smolderon on arms

#

Fyrakk too

#

Frank arms went crazy but made p1 a skillcheck

#

Fury didnt

untold pewter
#

Smolderon was sick

boreal quartz
#

10 mil fatal mark

#

...

untold pewter
#

For boss damage at least

wooden lava
#

Oh right, it was Volcoross, not Nymue

#

I just remember fury being super dominant, especially on last 3 bosses

boreal quartz
#

Big true

wooden lava
#

I don't think anyone even bothered with running Arms on smolderon until after prog

boreal quartz
#

Tindral not armsable in mythic

wooden lava
#

cos you were insanely squishy on arms

#

and fury just let you live

#

while doing better dmg

#

If Arms can shine on an early/mid boss

#

and one of the last 2 bosses

#

I think you can call it a success

#

cos if arms is better on every boss, it means fury is borderline unplayable bad

#

As long as arms can do better than fury on pure ST with extended execute, and 2 target cleave

#

it's in a good spot

naive sage
#

Extend arms

boreal quartz
#

Tindral you cant keep up with root breaks on arms nicely + fury is a good padder

#

Frank p2 was hardest phase in the end and fury smurfed the adds so u can cc a bit sloppy

#

But it's not cuz arms was squishy

wooden lava
#

Good point

#

Idk, arms always feels so mortal during prog

boreal quartz
#

It's just comparison to fury

#

Compare to old hunter and ur golden

wooden lava
#

Nah, it's definitely on some bullshit

#

That's why they're giving compensatory buffs in 11.1

#

Hunters haven't been squishy in like a decade lol

quasi torrent
#

decade

#

?

#

are u dense

#

hunter was fucking dogshit living in nathria

wooden lava
#

Was it? Damn my memory must be slipping

#

I swear they haven't had survivability issues in so long

boreal quartz
#

Fury brainrot

wooden lava
#

To be fair I should've said since shadowlands

#

I just remember hunter being AOE gods in Nathria

#

Not much else

boreal quartz
#

Aoe and survival are not rlly tied

#

But yes it was okeyge

wooden lava
#

Nah I remember that night fae circle would annihilate mobs

#

i have to say that i kinda like colossus arms. and arms in general. you have a lot of build to use if you want. not just a cookie cutter build. ive played alot of builds and found it very fun

brittle fiber
#

oh shoot me didnt have advanced logging enabled

marble steppe
#

farmed myself a crit set of gear and got it up to 35 and now want to try arms

#

were progging court with my guild

#

what hero talent would you play in court and in M+?

eager sigil
gray herald
#

i play colossus in both

eager sigil
#

but i think you can play both on silken

marble steppe
#

i got a question about the rotation in colossus

#

so if i get MS resets, do i spam MS or do i use always keep overpower in 1 charge

#

also when do i execute? in the M+ setup it deals fairly low damage

#

do i use it as a filler isntead of slam?

misty yew
#

whats the quickest way of getting flightstones

#

can i exchange other tokens for them?

thick kelp
#

radiant echoes x5

viral locust
#

Kek heroic 24 DPS 2 healer easy boss parse 😅 I forgot to take raid buff too sadge, getting the hang of warrior slowly

livid cloak
#

Do the special delves on lvl 1, finish and get radiant echo. Do that 5x then do a world soul

viral locust
#

How long does 5 delves take then to do that?

#

Can slam a 12 key arakara in 20 mins or so and get 200 and crests 😁 that's what I do rn

thick kelp
#

hc parse 🥱

viral locust
#

I already mentioned heroic kek

#

I need to get in my guild raid as warrior to get some real tests done

#

Although blood is hardly a difficult boss on myth

dim basalt
#

Did you filter it in some way or why am I not appearing there

#

Some weeks ago I got r1 on heroic BB with 1.970M

thick kelp
#

its by boss dam

dim basalt
#

oh

#

Ah I had 1.850M boss dps

viral locust
#

Dirty padder

dim basalt
#

I didnt really

viral locust
dim basalt
#

Had one BS up for adds by coincidence

#

Thats all I did

#

Maybe an execute or two to hold stacks

#

Wasnt even trying to get a parse

viral locust
#

Heh I was just spamming some finery and found that group, surprised I did good

#

Just kill time probably

dim basalt
#

1:57 is okayish

viral locust
#

Ye for a pug

#

Having fun on warrior though picked it up about 3 weeks ago, fury in keys doing ok too pretty fun

dim basalt
#

Was with guild

viral locust
#

Queue time is not fun tho

dim basalt
#

But low kill times feel bad as arms

#

If you drop Jugg once everythings over

viral locust
#

Ye insane when CDs come up perfect with exec % tho

gaunt owl

they lost it in the sauce

shadow ibex
#

this tier set is so dumb lol

#

it only works if we pretend tactician doesnt exist

eager sigil
#

i need it to recharge ms faster instead of op

shadow ibex
#

i cant get excited for recharge when we have MS and OP reset shit

gaunt owl
#

its redundant

slow saddle
#

Recharge wb!!!!

#

Problem solved

gaunt owl
#

nearly all our ability got some CD reduction or reset from pushing buttons

tacit crystal
#

if we got tier that reset cs

#

it means we could play tom

#

🙂

slow saddle
#

Not resets delay

#

I mean cdr

shadow ibex
#

i really dont understand it

#

its like they have no idea tactician exists

slow saddle
#

Having wb often with iftk would feel great

shadow ibex
#

yay I ate my 20% MS dmg buff in execute for a OP dmg boost?

#

like who

#

yay my OP is recharging faster but the boss is sub 35 and im spending 40 rage on this ability that has a % chance to reset it per rage spent

#

just read a fuckin talent tree ffs

dim basalt
#

If at least the 2p was meaningful but keks

shadow ibex
#

this shit only works in a world where tact dont exist lol

slow saddle
#

100%

#

Bad gamba

#

Tiers overall though seem kindda weak

#

Rets also gettin shafted

shadow ibex
#

numbers is whatever but it makes 0 sense

#

casting OP sub 35% just means youre removing your 20% MS dmg amp

#

for recharge on something u just had reset back to back to back

slow saddle
#

Ye ye its horrid

#

Playstyle wise.

#

But mby as collosus??

shadow ibex
#

if we assume arms "should" be MS X exe exe MS for x2 EP then where do they think the value in this recharge is coming from

slow saddle
#

As u dont wanna execute?

naive sage
#

Don't worry, new ptr build hasn't come out, they're cooking for sure copium

slow saddle
#

I mean gamba theme

trim arrow
#

I miss when arms was about big hits

#

and not dumb bleeds

slow saddle
#

It is that atm

shadow ibex
#

yes we need artery cut

dim basalt
shadow ibex
#

gone asap

trim arrow
#

I mean TR exists

shadow ibex
#

replace artery cut with more MS dmg not bullshit bleed dmg after u just nerfed BB

trim arrow
#

From a thematic standpoint an ability called demolish being capable of parry

#

is laughable

shadow ibex
#

last hit cant be parried

#

better to come up with arbitrary rules than just remove it

trim arrow
#

But like

#

what gameplay purpose

shadow ibex
#

doesnt matter

trim arrow
#

does parry serve

shadow ibex
#

better to jump thru hoops whitelisting certain abilities

#

than just removing it

trim arrow
shadow ibex
#

work smarter not harder right

#

better to create whitelist of abilities boss cant parry

trim arrow
#

Or when a boss dumpy so thicc

shadow ibex
trim arrow
#

she just

#

smacks your weapon away

gaunt owl
#

TEXTURE !

trim arrow
#

just dont stand in front

#

design boss its required

gaunt owl
#

fun part is charging

#

and getting your first AA parried

shadow ibex
#

yea learned my lesson on court just charge the bug ass

#

not using avatar and stuff on pull = 0 rage if you get parried

#

stuck looking at boss for 5 seconds

#

questioning life choices

gaunt owl
#

plenty of questioning can happen in those 5 seconds

trim arrow
#

Blizz should make

#

bosses be able to resist caster spells

#

if cast from front

shadow ibex
#

nah

#

if cast from behind

slow saddle
#

Ye

tacit crystal
#

its charge rending

#

parry rend

slow saddle

Flavour

tacit crystal

then you tr

#

and you have to delay rest of opener

#

like

slow saddle
#

Just tc?

#

Tc cant be parried

shadow ibex
#

idk if thats true honestly

#

but ive never paid attention

gaunt owl
#

TR can be parried

tacit crystal
#

thunderous roar?

slow saddle
#

Its a clap

gaunt owl
#

but dot still apply

tacit crystal
#

not tc

slow saddle

Thunderclap

tacit crystal

gaunt owl

i had Troar get parried

XD

tacit crystal
slow saddle
#

But u said rend parried

errant goblet
#

odys fury can also be parried and it does not apply the dot

gaunt owl
#

Tclap is so insignicant

tacit crystal
#

yeah

gaunt owl
#

you dont notice as long as dots get applied

slow saddle
#

Tclap apllies rend

tacit crystal
#

im never pressing tc

trim arrow
#

reminds me once when garm posted in sl

#

bonedust brew being parried

minor gust
# gaunt owl Tclap is so insignicant

DF season 3 tier set not being a talent is criminal. But we all know why they never added it. Because it interacts with TC and Blizzard the company obsessed with theme were like nope Thane exists that means nothing else can interact with thunder and lightning.

gaunt owl
#

Thane should have been between Arms and Fury

#

change my mind !

#

the SDclapping was so satisfying

minor gust
#

I didn't care about it until they giga buffed it and you could actually feel the claps

#

But man especially since we're forced to take SD now for Slayer to work they really need to give SD some kind of AOE angle like that tier set provided.

its a clear bug

if a rogue is running that build you genuinly dont get parried anymore its great

Yeah its supposed to be a personal thing

#

for the rogue themselves

minor gust
#

yup

#

but it affects the whole raid rn

trim arrow
#

hmm

#

did not check logs to see that

minor gust
#

its very noticeable by just playing if you have something that tells you when u get parried

trim arrow
#

so idk

minor gust
#

your still gonna get the rare parry

#

but its far more uncommon

trim arrow
#

interesting

Trickster hero spec puts a debuff which makes it so the boss can't parry. That hero spec is only played for sub right now.

Any colossus knowers know if there's ever a case where you wouldn't take battlelord

I guess the wowhead build doesn't take it in pure single target

silk spade

are you talking about m+ or

lean geode
#

I mostly mean raid

#

I'm working on adding the colossus apl to wowanalyzer

#

I have played colossus for 1 key and 0 raid fights

#

Public service to my fellow skyholders

silk spade
#

is it worth if you accidentally put misinfo in there and say it's updated and usable

#

also wont you have to update all of that in liek 3 weeks

lean geode
#

Yeah I'm gonna need to update everything for 11.0 anyways

#

Rather have the scaffolding for it ready to go

#

So I can just make tweaks instead of building it from scratch

silk spade
#

fair

lean geode
#

Arms is actually set up pretty nicely to just translate the simc APL into WoWA

#

Fury not so much

#

So I might add that too idk

vast helm
lean geode
#

Okay I spoke too soon, ravager doesn't have a buff the way bladestorm does

#

At least not on logs

#

So I can't easily filter out unhinged MS

silk spade
#

it shows up on casts no?

lean geode
#

Yeah, it's harder to filter out based on casts though

silk spade
#

it's combined with real ms in that timeline

lean geode
#

Have to listen for the cast event, update a global timestamp, compare to that, etc

#

Vs just "do thing while buff"

I think the dev's mom are murdered by warrior user. Why they always make it suck? As the seasons change, it seems like devs are saying, "Are you still playing a warrior?".

sks kind of too good to not play

anyone know if the next tier will be an aoe fest or more ST focused?

empty sluice

There was no raid testing so far no?

calm hollow

might play arms if it ends up more ST

idk, maybe some datamining

empty sluice

There is a lot of interesting trinkets tho

empty sluice
thick kelp
#

it got god

#

it now scales off of everything

#

like ava + cs

empty sluice

Really?

thick kelp
#

yeah on ptr

calm hollow
#

must be a bug

empty sluice
#

Is it intended tho?

thick kelp
#

but its prolly not meant to be off of ava +cs

#

only from aura buffs and maybe mastry or smth

#

but anyway it should be playable talent nxt tier

#

over things like sharp or deft

empty sluice
#

Torments need some treatment too

calm hollow
#

btw how fucked i am currently in bis fury gear, if i want to switch to arms?

thick kelp
#

uhh

#

not really ig

#

just recrafts

#

rings

#

u can play 639 wep + dusk/dawn

calm hollow
#

well 1 ring is isle ring anyways

thick kelp
#

so u can craft new pieces

#

yea and other one is crit + x

calm hollow
#

would need an ansurek ring ig

thick kelp
#

helps alot but

#

crafted ring can work

#

with crt + whatever u need

calm hollow
#

hmm, might look into it, if we know more about the tier

#

i was forced to play fury this tier, after a whole expansion of arms enjoying
