best sim settings for arms M+?

Slayer just naturally feels good on fury

slayer arms is only good for raid and overall it is a piece of shit spec

Perfect ending for this season, coming out of the gates screaming, only to nerf us into oblivion and then tease us right at the end with relevancy.

Dude warrior is the f tier class

#

It will always be that way

#

Those buffs were too good to be true 😦

no bleeds buff I schleep

#

what changed for arms in the ptr that made them get the big buff

lean geode
versed carbon
#

Did they rlly reverted 🥲🥲🥲

eternal plinth
#

i mean yeah, but fury's can be traced back to the AM change, was there any specific change to arms that led to the buff or did we just stank and that's it

lean geode
neon ocean
#

I'm curious about that as well, how did arms fall so far behind when they didn't receive those structural changes that fury did initially

lean geode
#

Scaling isn't really a thing anymore with aura buffs every patch tbh

#

I mostly play fury so idrk what the structural issues with arms are tbh

#

But that shit stank bad on ptr

#

People were mentioning a change to colossus execute not giving colossal might stacks or something

eternal plinth
#

oh yeah

scenic umbra
#

Did they really revert

#

Xd

lean geode
#

Idk why slarms is so bad, it hasn't really changed compared to 11.0.7 other than the tier set obviously

Warr buffs

#

At this point they are just laughing at us deadge

weak rain
#

they reverted it because it would be too op with rework coming up next ptr build

brittle fiber
#

one of the balance team was like "oh shit just realised these are warrior abilities lol" and recoded them to shaman abilities

Revert-Khan!!!!!

where are these ptr notes for the buffs and nerfs i dont even see them on wowhead

#

Ahhh

slow saddle
#

Dmg isnt the biggest issue

brittle fiber
#

It does when rend and slam do near identical damage

slow saddle
#

Couldda kept the ms buff

brittle fiber
#

For button press ^

#

tbh the fact they even released as many abilities being tuned as tells me that theyre rescaling it or the hopium that it was meant to be released with a bit more

slow saddle
#

I want more baseline ms power

brittle fiber
#

Or an intern was trying to make us happy but management said no

weak rain
#

they should stop buffing ms, its just stupid, buff sustained dmg things like bleeds

slow saddle
#

Lol fuck off

#

Baseline ms hits like a wetnoodle

#

Problem is modifiers if anything

#

Now that they halfed modifiers from op, ms prob needs more

rare kite
slow saddle
#

Unless we get a real arms player as an intern. And equip him with a cattle prod

weak rain
#

they just perma buff ms, which is boring af, just buff things like bleeds, tom or something

#

give some gameplay, not just zugzug me press ms me do dmg

untold trench
#

Did not expect to look into arms and see ppl calling for ms to hit for less

weak rain
#

I mean, it hits fine, modifiers are crazy ofc

#

instead maybe do something with juggernaut and base execute

#

cuz execute is a joke(especially non slayer)

wooden lava

spec hasnt changed in 8 years "yeah guys we actually dont need a rework haha"

#

find some better takes

halcyon valve
#

find something else to do other than cry about "wahh wahh rework when blizzard, i need my rework now waah waah"

tribal kindle
#

Rework Arms please 🙏

halcyon valve
#

especially in here, where blizzard wont see shit. if you have concrete ideas, suggest them on the blizz forums or whatever

hexed saddle
#

shits been suggested for ages via private forums

gaunt owl
#

we have some next lvl cluegi guys with us

#

or maybe just low effort troll

hexed saddle
#

just rage bait

#

no reason for warrior not to be reworked once after ret got their 3rd in 2 years

nimble yoke
#

surely we don't need a rework guys just buff all numbers by 200%

#

and rework shaman and paladin again for the 40th time

hexed saddle
#

only class in the game to not receive a rework since DF launch

nimble yoke
#

maybe mage too?

brittle fiber
#

ive posted a yappathon on there

hexed saddle

I'm with the others tbh, I started playing Arms with TWW and this spec just feels very outdated in comparison to pretty much every other melee spec

almost nothing has changed since bfa

thats like THE reason people want a rework, cause bfa was shit

i remember playing massacre on that fight at some point but i cant remember why

weak rain
#

idk, but it was funny as shit seeing SKS burst in season 2 of DF, kinda miss it

untold pewter
#

I kind of don't like Slayer being the go-to single target spec

Bladestorm in st feels kind of lame, especially during execute

There was a time bs was pure filler in st and imo that's ideal. Or just not taken at all

#

And ravager doesn't compare (for slayer), which is silly

weak rain
#

I agree, I wish at least pants build will make a comeback or smth(like in df)

naive sage
#

I had fun in df s1 with no bs jugg build

untold pewter
#

Damn right

Also they could finally make colossus cds line up better now, come on, been a whole patch sadge

naive sage
#

In m+ I mean

halcyon valve
brittle fiber
#

we need schlong build

weak rain
#

certanly buffing MS baseline more will only increase unhinged value

halcyon valve
#

especially with another round of ms buffs, that talent just does a lot more than fatality ever could, no pants build

weak rain
#

and slayer will always be ahead this way

halcyon valve
#

not necessarily? colossus has 15% increased ms dmg in their tree

weak rain
#

Slayer can't function without bs, colossus can function without rava/bs. Slayer is better in pure st. So as long as they are buffing MS more, it should benefit slayer more idk

halcyon valve
#

with ravager/unhinged, exhilarating blows, maybe even battlelord, theres a lot of ms to go around

untold pewter
#

Even so, colossus right now only serves the purpose of giga burst windows

#

For raid

halcyon valve
#

demolish guaranteed crit and we win

untold pewter
#

And without cleave shit just doesn't align naturally, and any forced downtime makes it a shitshow

weak rain
#

I mean, for st only, unironically buffing bleeds buffs colo more for example

halcyon valve
#

arterial bleed moment

untold pewter
#

Sigh it is what it is, excellent takes all around and Blizz trying to slap some aura buff

Not sure why reverted though

#

Maybe they realized they need to tackle the real problems? copium

weak rain
#

I think just giving actual autabuff is better

#

than giving MS more dmg targeted

Do we know why yet?

Because they hate us

cuz we can't have nice things

in all seriousness tho the likely answer is this was a mistake and was meant to go with a bigger tuning patch

For real though my current guild is so bad that player over specc a million times

dim basalt
#

That is the case for most guilds no?

#

As in any guild outside of top 200

slow saddle
#

I mean yeah

#

Outside top 5000

#

At least dno we havent killed ovi coz we lost roster

frosty lava
#

Despite how warrior looks in PTR, warrior is pretty good at sneaking an extra spot or 2 into a lot of raid comps for various reasons, I don't think raid spots will generally be a concern regardless of the situation

dim basalt
#

Kinda is because warrior is not unpopular

boreal quartz
#

Raidbuff

#

Always 1

dim basalt
#

If we were as unpopular as monk we wouldn't have to worry as much

#

But there are a billion furies out there

frosty lava
dim basalt
#

Also if both dps specs are bad guilds can bring a prot instead

#

But that's optimization stuff

frosty lava
#

Even if both specs are bad, usually one of the 2 find a niche that keeps their spot over prot tho

#

Like fury's bursty aoe profile, or arms with either 2 tar cleave or execute prio dam

dim basalt
#

As in, Fury for aoe burst

#

Arms only has execute

frosty lava
#

not saying it's always true every tier, but often one of those 3 are necessary

dim basalt
#

Think Arms was only used for Kyveza prog?

frosty lava
#

Yea I'm not saying arms or fury is always useful every tier, but atleast one of the 2 find a niche that allows dps warrior to keep their spot over prot

dim basalt
#

Yet

#

I'm not sure if Arms will have that execute niche next tier

#

If the set goes live like that

fresh spire
#

Battleshoutyep

frosty lava
dim basalt
#

Exactly

frosty lava
#

with the stacking OP + Execute MS buffs

#

so 4set still buffs execute

#

execute window*

dim basalt
#

Next tier we will have higher priority on OP

#

So less executes

#

But gotta wait for sims ig

frosty lava
#

When MS is critting with 2x OP 2x Execute live rn for like 6-7 mil on target dummies (no aug or whatever), I don't see why we'd avoid using MS when we hit max buff stacks

weak rain
#

another thing is that we probably won't take cruel strikes, so a bit less execute value

frosty lava
#

Just pull the rip cord and give both arms and fury their legion execute potential back 🥺

fresh spire
#

Apl isn't changed a whole lot. Wahle has found some prio when high stacks of winning streak in execute likely to force procs but colossus for most part is unchanged

#

I have yet to test if the 20% buff to overpower makes any difference but when ms and execute is also buffed hard to say its gonna be that much

frosty lava
#

Can't really test anything, they got reverted

#

We'll likely see them in a larger PTR build, or atleast most of them if they choose to change a few numbers

Wait, so they buffed arms alot then immediately reverted? I'm so confused, are they planning on bringing those buffs back?

When was the best version of arms in your opinion

stone marsh
lethal vale

We didnt even try it though, they gave us the candy for like an hour and yoinked it away lol

I just really want arms colossus to be viable for like one patch it is so fun

gusty oxide
#

if demolish is a guaranted crit, it will have plays

#

right now...no.

woven wasp
#

if demolish was a guaranteed crit, they would simply reduce the damage it deals and nothing would change

smoky kayak
#

idk why people think "guaranteed crit" means mega damage

#

any more than "make OF deal fire" means it will somehow gain damage

fresh spire
#

Good days of fire

shy tide
#

i think they should make everything a garenteed crit

#

because crit is a cringe stat chatting

weak rain
#

if anything, making it unable to crit is probably better

#

just like fatality

smoky kayak
#

difference is fatality is cast once a combat, whereas Demolish is cast pretty regularly

#

hell Demolish is cast more often than OF, it's hardly even a cooldown

weak rain
#

so its better that it should stay as it is

#

no crit no non-crit

smoky kayak
#

well, it's better for the the value of critical strike anyway; whether anyone will think it's better for gameplay is pretty subjective

#

Pretty obvious why people want it to auto-crit (or not crit as the case may be): it's a powerful and some people feel very strongly about the influence of RNG

but in general, the more often something is cast, the more its going to play to the average crit rate, so it should all wash out in the end, even if the cast-to-cast varies

weak rain
#

I think every buff to MS, OP, EXE whaterver jsut buffs slayer more. In order to buff colo they should buff specific colo talents or shit like bleeds

#

in pure st that is

smoky kayak
#

the only place it really makes a difference is Champion's Might, since it directly benefits crits and only crits, but Spear has never been a particularly great ability for Arms anyway, simply because it's so concentrated (and Arms' CDs last much longer)

smoky kayak
#

it was a good gameplay change, just needs some number love to make up for it

weak rain
#

ofc it buffs both, but slayer always seem to benefit more from it

#

I meant IF they wanted to buff colo st and not both

smoky kayak
#

idk if it's really "more" just that Colossus is playing at a handicap atm

weak rain
#

to pull ahead or smth

smoky kayak
#

Worth noting Colossus is also moving to a whole new build too, so there's still some polish to be done on our end

weak rain
#

pants build hype

fresh spire
#

Pants will never be a thing unless unhinged takes a 50% nerf

#

Even then 3% is still a strong capstone

#

When compared to the others

weak rain
#

let me dream

smoky kayak
#

Unhinged is a little too strong for Arms, but frankly not anywhere near its biggest problem (and still a big improvement over Hurricane besides), so not something I'm going to dedicate much time caring about tbh

fresh spire
#

It only gets stronger with every mortal strike buff too

fresh spire
#

As cringe as people think unhinged is. Its the one think making bladestorm in slayer not crap.

smoky kayak
#

I don't think that many people really think unhinged is cringe

steep osprey
fresh spire
#

I begged for unhinged to be buffed for months at one point

#

In here that is

#

And now look how it become.

smoky kayak
#

however, some people do love to single out one specific thing and make it the scapegoat for all their complaints

#

whether or not it's actually the reason

fresh spire
#

Arms has the power between hero specs to have two diverse trees.

#

Ones very set. The other still needs a pick me up

smoky kayak
#

its coming along though
I'd be happy with Colossus as Battlelord + Unhinged and Slayer as Juggernaught + Unhinged
I'd also be happy with Colossus as Battlelord + Jugg, but I think you'd have a real hard time making Unhinged good for one and not the other

fresh spire
#

We know class tuning is coming. Who knows there could be potential talent updates coming

steep osprey
#

One thing I dislike about warrior hero talents is that there’s a barely difference

#

Enhancements 2 hero talents play completely differently

fresh spire
#

At least iwth colossus if they manage to push bl ahead jug will always be there for people to play if perfered

#

As its going to always be close

smoky kayak
boreal quartz
#

She hinge on my un till i mortal strike

fresh spire
#

But slayer will always be locked to jug

smoky kayak
#

again, if Colossus ends up with Battlelord and Slayer Jugg, they will start to feel much more different

steep osprey
boreal quartz
tacit crystal

i miss you

Gumo Gio

shadow ibex
#

Unhinged gotta die sgain

smoky kayak
#

Honestly I think if Colossus ended up Battlelord + Jugg, it would be more boring than BL + Unhinged, since there'd be that much more overlap with Slayer

boreal quartz
#

I mean it's just not an optional talent that's the issue

#

Choice is cool

#

My issue with it anyways

steep osprey
#

Unhinged is just too good, neither specs ever play without it

smoky kayak
#

"choice" is a difficult concept when considering absolute performance

smoky kayak
manic egret
#

I miss df s3 execute spam in m+

smoky kayak
#

The real issue is that Jugg and Battlelord is a hard combination, because they encourage competing concepts

  • Jugg wants you to press Exe more, which means pressing OP and MS less
  • BL wants you to press OP and MS more, which means pressing Exe less
    you only have so many globals, you really cannot do everything
#

Unhinged probably is a little too strong for Arms, that's undeniable, but even if it took a hard nerf, it'd still probably be better than BL + Jugg, unless you killed the talent entirely

#

and the talent doesn't need to be killed entirely, it is objectively a good talent, with good gameplay interactions and helps keep up the value of other major cooldowns (BS/Rav)

fresh spire
#

Unhinged could take a 50% nerf rn and its still a bigger gain than the rest of our capstone

smoky kayak
#

Yeah, it could use a nerf, but I mean that nerf wouldn't really change anything

fresh spire
#

But its only that far ahead since ms has had several base auras making it even more powerful

smoky kayak
#

you'd have to absolutely decimate it to take it out of the main builds

timber lynx
#

We had it for like 1 patch 💀

fresh spire
#

Kill unhinged slayer feels worse. Or let it be semi strong for both specs between rav and bladestorm which does make a rotational change in colossus making you dump to buff it

smoky kayak
#

but BL + Jugg is kind of a pipe dream unless you manage to shit out some extra globals somewhere

shadow ibex
fresh spire
#

Even if its dead its gonna be even close to same shit in both hero specs

#

And ones gonna suffer for it

smoky kayak
#

new tier set is good

#

and Unhinged had more influence on the Colossus playstyle this tier than it will next (assuming Jugg gets dropped)

fresh spire
#

Personal feelings between the hero trees is that the actual trees should include the playstyle change up instead of 4 nodes buffing flat damaged for abilities that if you stripped away is just the same thing.

Bloodsurge bad as your using finishing blows already

More rage more 40 rage executes

They are still tweeking bloodsurge. Maybe more buffs this week

tacit crystal

both sks bloodsure and dinishing are just there because rest are aoe talents right

smoky kayak
#

the original version of Slayer was very Overpower focused, whereas Colossus was Mortal Strike focused, which got streamlined into what we have now because it didn't really make sense - Slayer still wanted to prio Mortal Strike, and Colossus still used Overpower for obvious reasons

fresh spire
#

I remember first apl for slayer

#

You could push any button and it wasn't wrong.

smoky kayak
#

they could probably do something with one valuing Overpower as the main filler and the other Slam, but I don't see one dropping Mortal Strike, so they're still going to end up pretty similar overall

fresh spire
#

It had such an identity crisis

smoky kayak
#

Fury also tried the same, with Slayer originally being RB focused and Thane being more BT, but both specs still had to use both, so they then abandoned that in favor of SD vs TC instead (which I think has worked pretty well tbh)

fresh spire
#

Only issue with thane is the ww nodes being semi required on st

smoky kayak
#

Yeah I didn't like that at first, but its kinda grown on me

fresh spire
#

Felt it sort of curbed its gains elsewhere for those 2 talent points

smoky kayak
#

I don't like that Imp WW is wasted, like it's just a requirement to get to MC

fresh spire
#

Holy

#

I guess with everything else getting buffed and bleeds untouched they slipping a bit more down

smoky kayak
#

imo they should have done this, rearrange Wrath & Fury to lead to Meat Cleaver without the need to take Imp WW

#

that way Thane could path from Imp RB -> W&F -> MC for the +25% damage (without any cleave benefits) in single target
while multitarget builds would still want to go Imp WW -> MC

fresh spire
#

I wonder. If arms had the same layout on the bottom of the tree would it be less aids

#

We do have a 1/1 gate but it's not that interesting

#

It does let us bridge pretty well

smoky kayak
#

I wanted them to get rid of Valor in Victory and move Bladestorm up a spot dracthyr_shrug

fresh spire
#

(More about maybe saving 1 talent point I guess)

tacit crystal

As all that would do rn is just give deft for slayer.

I was thinking about the reverted buffs and I’m confused why they think a 15% buff to OF is remotely enough

smoky kayak
#

I like the effect of Valor in Victory, but it is 100% a filler node that doesn't need to exist

fresh spire

Don't think we realistically are going to get the situation we want. Main difference at least right now is bl does more dps>35 while jug crushes under 35

Last time they over buffed it they nerfed it 3 times back down like 75f of the buff

Can just bring back down

fresh spire

Yeh Last time it was buffed in ptr also killed in ptr then also in live

steep osprey
smoky kayak
fresh spire
#

🙏 Colossal might buff this week

steep osprey
#

They did remove an entire hit of OF and we’re barely using it on live as is

smoky kayak
#

if they compensate Colossal Might in a decent way, I think Colossus will be fine yeah

steep osprey
#

So 15% is not even close

fresh spire
#

The dream is both specs are close enough we have choice instead of being locked into a slayer tier once more

smoky kayak
#

if Slayer were > Thane in M+, it'd be a diff situation

untold trench
#

Well, OF is not supposed to be TT+OF total value, but OF is supposed to be valuable as a stand alone.
No question OF was held back because of TT double up potential. Not to mention the guaranteed 20% amp.

So just look at OF raw dam compared to other nodes, the most applicable is roar. Then have OF tuned a bit over it, as it got no amp effect and roar does.

#

It aint that bad, just need a bump up

smoky kayak
#

the other aspect of Titan's Torment is the insta-burst, which was the main reason for Fury being repeatedly nerfed at the start of the expansion too

#

it wasn't just that Fury was strong in AoE, it's that Fury deal it so quickly thanks to the free off-GCD OF into an immediate Bladestorm

#

You mean the CD juggling? That's kind of a Warrior-wide problem

#

and something they'll probably address in 12.0

olive nest
#

the no OF M+ build thane opener feels good

fresh spire
#

Likely with some more aggressive op tuning as no sks in execute could likely get it ahead

steep osprey
#

What if they remove Ravager from the gcd

smoky kayak
#

lul

steep osprey
olive nest
#

aint no way

steep osprey
#

It does help with the cd juggling

fresh spire
smoky kayak
#

na I think they're just gonna streamline the number of talented Warrior CDs in 12.0

steep osprey
#

I want warriors to have something like a passive cd that procs when you do something

magic canopy
smoky kayak
#

cause right now it is a lot

steep osprey
#

Like maybe reck procs ravager when you talent into it

olive nest
steep osprey
#

They could make Avatar a passive talent that increases damage during reck by 20%

#

Ret has something similar with ashes

fresh spire
#

Time to give each spec it's own cd with an identity. Feels like recklessness is a test for then to try it for ra

lethal vale
#

I also want them to do something about arms survivability - that 5% stamina gain from colossus isn't enough at all lol

steep osprey
#

Just remove TR and Spear

olive nest
#

reck/ava should just be combined

#

or

#

ava for arms

#

reck for fury

#

and add things to both

smoky kayak
smoky kayak
#

each spec had its own dedicated CD

fresh spire

Remember when die by sword was on the class tree for a moment

kinda makes sense imo to have dedicated cds for each spec

smoky kayak
#

Remember when you could just skip Enraged Regen/DbtS on the talent tree entirely for more DPS talents? dracthyr_kek_animated

I think vers for warrior should have much more impact than it does

lethal vale
timber lynx
olive nest
#

no way

#

you do not want vers to be your best stat

timber lynx
#

i never said best stat

olive nest
#

they should remove vers as an option entirely

steep osprey
#

One thing we can probably agree on is that TR and Spear is too much, I think they should replace that with some passives on the tree

Did they actually have 2 handed spec and duel handed spec split

#

Ain't no way

steep osprey
fresh spire
#

Or one handed even

smoky kayak
#

yeah, and even better, Fury could use DW spec + 2h/1h together

soft sigil
#

It was because that was when the class tree was shared with every spec instead of having one class tree per spec so they had to cram all the weapon nodes together

smoky kayak
#

and prot could use 2h + DW spec together (cause it counted shields)

fresh spire
#

Real class fantasy right there

smoky kayak

while Arms was just 2h alone

I bitched to high heaven about those gates when they were just raw stat nodes

#

adding the extra effect went a long way toward making them more palatable

fresh spire
#

Oh god

smoky kayak
#

I actually like most of them now (though Valor is still unnecessary filler and BS/Rav should just be moved up into its spot)

fresh spire
#

Patching for op and sweep to then hit useless talents and have to go back as can't path

smoky kayak

also the trees were full of "improved X" nodes, which just added back the functionality that we already had - like Fury's "Improved Rampage" which just allowed it to trigger Enrage 💀

# steep osprey What is this

that was Cadence of Fujieda, a rehash of the legendary cloak effect from Legion

  • pressing BT triggers a +1% haste buff, stacking 5 times for ~5s
steep osprey
#

hahahaha

Hahahahhaha

smoky kayak
#

it was bad for the same reason the legendary was bad; just a maintenance buff that was annoying to stack at the start of combat and too easy to fall off in the middle

steep osprey
#

Sudden death under enraged regen

#

Lmfao

smoky kayak
#

there was a time when those positions were swapped and you could just completely path around Enraged Regen

steep osprey
#

I didn’t realize onslaught was that farther up

smoky kayak
#

and I fought tooth and nail to get them to put them where they are now, because otherwise players would just forgo their major defensive CD in order to pick up 1% extra damage

#

which might sound like a good choice for some people, but it's also a very toxic one

steep osprey
#

Who cares about living

1% dps

why did they nerf spear compared to slands?

TR is just too much cds

I feel like avatar and bs/ravager is perfect

With CS

Yeah i don’t disagree i just like the big bleeds of arms

I love doing 9-10 globals into m+ pack before actual damage starts rollin

Archi do you know if the arms 4pc tooltip not showing the MS buff is a display bug or if the MS buff isn't intended to be part of it?

It’s a display bug

If you look at MS damage with and without the buff

#

It’s different

tooltip issues are almost always tooltip issues

they're just notorious for being inaccurate

If they were to bring back the SD clap

This sounds like I’m talking the clap STD

sd clap was goated

Where would you put it

#

Replace spear with that set okayge

steep osprey
#

In our talent

fresh spire
#

kill sks yep

timber lynx
#

its free dam for all specs

steep osprey
#

I’d put it on Improved SS

#

And remove it to make it baseline

lean geode
#

Put it where SoS is

#

That talent is cheeks rn

steep osprey
#

Or put it on sks

lean geode
#

And it's in the path of SD anyways

steep osprey
#

Actually sks fits

lean geode
#

Actually nvm that would require you to take cleave or imp SS/CD

fresh spire
#

idealy it goes onto class tree

lean geode
#

So it's useless in single target

fresh spire
#

So prot can use it for SD also

lean geode
#

Idr, did the s3 set require you to take SD?

#

Or did it work like ImmDem

fresh spire

then again, they clap anyway

Those arms buffs all got reverted?

insta pop was bad in different ways

#

idk just baffles me how it can still be a button unless you just never play arms and so the subtle ways in which it eats ass is lost on whoever created it

fresh spire
shadow ibex
#

the global itself does no dmg and the debuff it applies just eats into globals more, making you spend them on rend which also does 0 dmg as a global

fresh spire

Welcome to hell

bloodborne being 2 ranks is also dumb as fuck

#

spend 2 talent points for 10% bleed dam

That's an interesting build. I didn't find fatality to do much in my testing. Also found the bonus damage roar gives to be consistently too solid to give up

fatal has such a huge range

was doing testing on ptr, some dummy pulls i hit 3% other times i got more stacks with cds line up and hit 9%+

not if your lacking or not, more consistant 40 rage executes>not

shadow ibex
#

can we get a post on the forums about it

rugged jasper
#

There was some rage starvation in execute range, but I always talented sks to adjust for that

shadow ibex
#

there's no way shipping fatality affected by avatar is gonna be a fun time

#

mastery yes

#

shit if you want make it gain dmg from our crit rating since it cant crit

#

great

Wouldn’t it just make more sense to get rid of anger management so our CDs actually just line up properly every 1.5 mins

nothin to do with unhinged/buffs or w/e

Yeah, I figured I’m just curious on what the numbers would look like I guess for holding versus not holding

Like how far off it would be I guess

fresh spire

judging but the proc rate being so hugely inconsistent any sort of holding only would lead to either huge upset if bad rng

charred brook

Do you think there is a window where if we see Blade storm and colossal smash coming off cool down we start spamming the shit out of overpower
