for one, CT is a 2 point node (and that's extremely unlikely to change unless the entire lower 3rd of the tree changes, since it's a points-gate for a reason)
second, Frothing is a class tree talent, so that rearranges the power differential
third, that would kinda shoehorn the mechanic into Juggernaut builds

minor gust
#

I don't disagree pvp is an after thought. But pvp does come into discussion when they design specs/classes

severe haven
minor gust
#

Well never know the truth but I still believe pvp needs to be treated as the ultimate mini game.

#

Have 0 design around it

#

Just let it be an unbalanced mess

smoky kayak
#

also even if Frothing affected Execute, it would be a lot worse than CT is right now

fresh spire
#

the issue I think mainly is its location on tree in where SD actually is, you are forced to path it for impale/slayer in general, Maybe they could move fob to where SOS is

#

and replace fob

#

but then rend is on other side

#

🤷

smoky kayak
#

I think moving FoB to where SoS is would be the smarter choice

#

and then just completely redesigning/removing SoS

#

then you can put in something that more reasonably competes against SD

fresh spire
#

Shoot colat at the same time

smoky kayak
#

But also, just because you talent the right side of the tree for SD doesn't mean that every execute related talent needs to be on the right side of the tree, since you're effectively required to talent through that part anyway, it's kind of arbitrary

#

it's very minor, but still a lot better than the old version

smoky kayak
#

there's no feasible build that doesn't talent through Impale

fresh spire
#

impale too good :o7

smoky kayak
#

it's not even that impale is too good

#

it's that you need to spend 8 points in the first tier

shadow ibex
#

Valor in victory needs to go

#

And we get 1 point

#

We have that problem in the middle of the tree

#

We take SkS cuz what else can you take

#

Sos? No. Imp ss no

smoky kayak
#

Valor in Victory should move up to where Ignore Pain is, remove the +Versatility and just make it a defensive node
then move Bladestorm up one level

fresh spire
#

i do miss the bleed explodes of SKS vs the sped up version

shadow ibex
#

It's SkS or blood borne and that just got gutted

fresh spire
#

annoying you had the mastery issue, but the explode felt satisfying

shadow ibex
#

Id rather rework SkS or just make it increase DMG of bleeds

smoky kayak
#

SkS is fine when bleed talents aren't so oppressive that you feel the need to take every single one of them

shadow ibex
#

Increase tick speed is just not fun

#

Reapplying stuff stinks in a world where we just wanna ms and OP

smoky kayak
#

like 11.1 SkS looks completely fine

#

it's a very minor increase that you can easily skip if you don't like it

#

that's objectively good balancing

shadow ibex
#

I think it can be a super minor optional that doesn't feel bad when you do take it

smoky kayak
#

that's what it is

shadow ibex
#

I don't mind pressing a button I want it to not feel bad

smoky kayak
#

But I don't really agree with this new "SkS feels bad" narrative

#

It's a hell of a lot better than the earlier version that made you reapply dots

shadow ibex
#

I think both iterations are flawed

smoky kayak
#

it gives you rage, it gives you damage

#

feels more like "general unhappiness with Arms, need to find something to blame" - pick SkS as the target

shadow ibex
#

Spending more globals on rend don't feel great

severe haven
smoky kayak
#

plus the combination value of SkS + Roar + CS is not insignificant; it's a good setup

smoky kayak
severe haven
steep osprey
#

What's the point of Rend, I feel like they should remove it and double DW damage

shadow ibex
#

Tr and SkS is cool idea

smoky kayak
steep osprey
severe haven
shadow ibex
#

Not cool enough to make how bad pressing it feel good tho

severe haven
#

Maybe like..Colossus smash then

#

Like shamans wave

#

Save a gcd here and there

smoky kayak
#

Seriously though, I think yall are underestimating how fucking boring Arms rotation would be if you removed SkS and removed Rend (or made it apply passively)

like wtf are you doing? just pressing MS and Overpower the whole time?

steep osprey
#

Slam ratge

fresh spire
#

i could be using slam over clap 😠

silk spade
fresh spire
smoky kayak
#

it's weird when some of the same people who say Fury is brain dead 3 button spec argue for removing every other ability from Arms

minor gust
#

Tbf current Slayer arms rotation is massively boring with sks

fresh spire
#

fury pressing slam feels wrong

#

(even though tis like 2 times a pull max)

shadow ibex
fresh spire
#

im pressing ww fuck slam

severe haven
shadow ibex
#

Like chances are it's the button actually feels bad not people inventing something to complain about

minor gust
smoky kayak
#

Do yall not remember how boring Arms was in pre-patch, just pressing MS on cooldown, Overpower on proc, and spamming Slam in between?

steep osprey
#

I dislike pressing SKS perfectly and seeing that my bleeds are barely doing 5% of my damage

shadow ibex
#

That's just nonsense lol

smoky kayak
smoky kayak
steep osprey
#

I meant Rend and DW specifically

minor gust
#

We all would love either a passive SS or off gcd SS

steep osprey
#

They probably do, I was exaggerating a bit lol

smoky kayak
#

like that's just hyperbole

steep osprey
smoky kayak
#

Rend + DW alone are ~5% each
TR is another ~3.5%

steep osprey
#

Maybe I'm alone with this but I wish they did a lot more damage than that

smoky kayak
#

ok but the last time bleeds were a significant amount of Arms' damage, people bitched to high heaven that it was a "passive spec"

steep osprey
#

Tbh, that was egregious, I don't mean that high lol

smoky kayak
#

well it's ~14% right now

#

so where do you want it?

steep osprey
#

25% perhaps

smoky kayak
#

you just said 20% was too high lol

#

this is so nitpicky lol

severe haven
fresh spire
#

i want slam to do all my damage

steep osprey
#

All of them together being 25% is different than one bleed being that much

severe haven
smoky kayak
olive nest
#

Colossus smash should increase damage taken by 400%

fresh spire
#

me trying to get my op back

steep osprey
#

was DW doing 25% of your damage? I remember it being higher than that

fresh spire
#

BFA it did so much damage at the end

#

in keys it was monsterous

silk spade
steep osprey
#

ever?

silk spade
#

yes, ever

minor gust
#

Feels like it

steep osprey
#

I don't know but probably not

smoky kayak
#

the end of BfA was completely skewed by Corruptions though

fresh spire
#

feel like it was more complex back when seige breaker existed

smoky kayak
#

So I tend to disregard it out of hand

minor gust
#

I get fury could be stale but the base gameplay is just also very satisfying.

smoky kayak
steep osprey
#

I am thinking of corruptions DW because that's the only thing I remember at this point so the damage of DW is completely skewed in my brain, my bad

fresh spire
#

the day when you realise seige breaker was just fury cs

steep osprey
#

25% is definitely too much

smoky kayak
#

but that was also their only bleed

steep osprey
#

Wasn't Rend a bleed that increased your critical damage taken on target or something

#

SL?

smoky kayak
#

Rend didn't exist in BfA

silk spade
#

i was a complete noob when siegebreaker existed but i remember hating it

steep osprey
#

I remember SIegebreaker was only being used in BFA

smoky kayak
#

Siegebreaker was in SL

#

it was in early DF development too, but there was too much overlap between it and Onslaught

steep osprey
#

It was used in SL? Wasn't it only the legendary

smoky kayak
#

it was used at times

steep osprey
#

oh okay

#

I don't remember lol

fresh spire
#

SL might have gone down as a bad expansion overall

smoky kayak
#

most of the worst expansions had the best raids

fresh spire
#

But arms overall from SOD onwards felt good

steep osprey
#

I don't really think it was a bad expansion

smoky kayak
#

except WoD, that shit sucked every which way

silk spade
smoky kayak
#

best part of WoD was playing pokemon with your garrison followers

#

and then logging off for the week

steep osprey
#

I think SL was below average overall

#

I liked BfA though

#

even tho it does have it's problems

#

I just loved the zones and the aesthetic of raids and everything in it

severe haven
smoky kayak
#

but yeah, this whole conversation really just gets the point across that people don't really know what they want, they're just generally unhappy with Arms

which is fine tbh, it does need some work, but it'll need to be more comprehensive than "just one change"

silk spade
#

SL has to be the worst expansion of all time

smoky kayak
#

that said, the state of Colossus tuning aside, I think 11.1 is looking pretty fine overall

steep osprey
#

It was the first expansion I got CE so I think differently of it

gimme a sec to find my colossus template and ill check

severe haven

I hated the execute change for col

steep osprey
#

Battlelord should buff the resetted MS or something

severe haven
#

They take away so much give back so little

steep osprey
#

I know guys

#

more MS buffs

#

yawn

#

What else can u do to make BL better though

#

It needs some damage component

fresh spire
#

more value to press mortal strike >other stuff

steep osprey
#

My idea was that resetting MS with BL would make your next MS shockwave like arms s2 set in DF

fresh spire
#

Damage doesn't make it, its interactions that matter

steep osprey
#

thoughts

fresh spire
#

as EP only scales with damage

dire hinge
fresh spire
#

we need ms to interact with ms, and thunderclap to interact with sks

lean geode
fresh spire
#

you are onto something here

dire hinge
#

hahahaha

dire hinge
smoky kayak
#

everything else aside, I think if there were one mechanic I could reuse from the past, I would find some way of working Cata-era Taste for Blood back in

quasi torrent
smoky kayak
#

which would require pulling back on Overpower resets in general, but I just like that it had a very reactive feel

thick kelp
shadow ibex
smoky kayak
#

I mean you can go back to CS resets, as long as you're fine with never doing any damage outside of CS and dealing with uptime RNG

thick kelp
#

Sounds good

smoky kayak
#

but as much as people complain about RNG dictating their damage, that would be a really hard sell

minor gust
#

wouldnt bringing taste for blood back with OP require an overhaul to how arms currently works. I wouldnt mind that direction because OP lost all cool or flavor with the loss of taste for blood and how OP used to work

olive nest
#

Ehhhh I like cs being more controlled honestly

#

It’s a feels good to press button

thick kelp
#

Could add crushing force kinda slam talent

smoky kayak
minor gust
#

so even Archi dreams

#

❤️

smoky kayak
#

I just think it's a fun mechanic; really don't mind what we have right now though

minor gust
#

theres something about a mechanic that makes a button thats only useable in certain conditions useable is very enjoyable for proc gameplay. Both taste for blood and SD were great for this.

#

Which is why its sad to see SD in the state that it is :/

#

I love procs that you dont actually press

random ibex
#

Kinda weird but I liked MOP arms mastery

dire hinge
#

yeaaah, i changed my WA to basically just mimick old SD interactions (ie: just pretend you dont have a proc if you aren't gonna press it)

#

feels real jank

minor gust
#

yeah a proc is something you should want to consume the moment you get it

untold trench
#

What if SD proc, always activated reap for slayer? peepostudy

minor gust
#

if it doesnt accomplish that something is massively wrong

thick kelp
#

what if SD always thunderclapped for slayer

minor gust
untold trench
#

SD procs TC, would be neato for Thane gladge

#

Anything to make the button good value

fresh spire
minor gust
#

and made TC actually do dmg but oh wait we cant have this now because Blizz loves there themes so much and mtn thane is a fury thing

fresh spire
#

think its fair if thanes blasts if we get rend

untold trench
fresh spire
#

Reap goes harder from cleave+ms imo if they wanted SD to always proc it they would end up getting it gut elsewhere

#

reap just isn't too strong on st but its good on aoe

smoky kayak
#

it's like 4x what WW does

#

and you already have a big proc in TBlast, why does SD need to do the same thing (or more likely, replace it with the same thing)?

minor gust
#

oh I was talking about arms TC with season 3 df tier

#

not thane in TC does good dmg with thane

smoky kayak
#

I don't think there's anything wrong with TC as it is now for Arms as a Rend enabler

#

you could make it stronger, but replacing SD isn't the move

minor gust
#

yeah SD is just being held back by jugg rn. Just would love season 3 df tier added to SD mostly so SD has some reason to press it in aoe besides consuming marks for slayer

silk spade
#

delete jugg from the game

minor gust
#

true and real

#

Slayer makes jugg incredibly toxic

smoky kayak
#

idk, Slayer and Jugg are both fine, the issue is mostly with Battlelord (by way of Colossus)

olive nest
magic canopy
#

i like casting at 2

dire hinge
#

or with 2x SD stacks*

minor gust
magic canopy
#

since mid flight you can get a third stack

olive nest
#

I wish they would tune sd so you always want to hit it no matter what

magic canopy
#

execute delay xd

smoky kayak
minor gust
#

you get SD proc you press execute thats how procs should be

#

instead of this hold and wait for the right condition to press it

smoky kayak
#

so retune it

#

but if that's the case, you're just going to the opposite situation of "hold and wait for the right condition to press MS" instead

dire hinge
#

excess SD stacks should auto-fire off the gcd (this is a bad take and doesn't solve anything)

steep osprey
#

I want sd proc to make me drop anything I’m doing and press execute

#

Sue me

minor gust
steep osprey
#

(For fury especially)

smoky kayak
#

most of this is just tuning nuances

olive nest
dire hinge
#

exactly, doesn't solve anything

steep osprey
#

I think SD should get more power

#

Like the execute from sd deals more damage

#

Or maybe it buffs something else

#

A SD execute cast buffs rampage

#

Etc

minor gust
silk spade
smoky kayak
#

buff Exe, nerf Jugg

steep osprey
#

Execute should be a higher prio raging blow

olive nest
#

“Sudden death executes apply a stacking debuff to the target that makes your first execute below 35% hp deal increased damage per stack”
They could name it fatality or something

smoky kayak
#

but there are just as many complaints that jugg should have a longer timer to make it easier to stack and manage, and doing that naturally inclines you to manipulate SD to extend that timer, so it's kind of an unavoidable problem

olive nest
steep osprey
smoky kayak
#

like stacking value no refresh?

steep osprey
#

It would have to be a lot stronger

minor gust
# smoky kayak I mean that's one potential solution

Im probably wrong but that doesnt solve it tho right? you would still min max jugg even if it was weaker. Because at the end of the day your not wasting SD procs even if exe was gigga and jugg sucked it still wouldnt hurt to wait/hold it

steep osprey
#

Juggernaut that is

steep osprey
#

I think a couple of specs have that

#

Like starlord from Druids

minor gust
#

unless they reverted back to only 1 SD at a time no 2 stacks

smoky kayak
smoky kayak
#

which may be better or worse, depending on who you ask

steep osprey
#

That sounds cool to me but maybe not to everyone lol

dire hinge
#

"sudden" death (delays it for 8 gcds)

smoky kayak
#

lmao

dire hinge
#

is the sudden in the room with us rn

untold trench
#

If you want "sudden", make it just auto send a free execute Hydrate

minor gust
smoky kayak
#

I mean the real solution though is to just give players a viable spec which doesn't revolve around Juggernaut, e.g. by making Battlelord a more competitive option

steep osprey
#

Also, I think SD should do something more for fury than just a free execute. What if SD for Fury makes you cast your execute twice ?

smoky kayak
#

Fury's issue comes solely down to the value of RB vs Execute

lean geode
smoky kayak
#

and RB has a ton more stuff wrapped up into it

steep osprey
#

I guess I’m just saying that because rage generation isn’t that important anymore really

untold trench
lean geode
smoky kayak
steep osprey
#

If rage generation was important, you’d definitely press a button that generates 20 rage over one that generates 8

#

Or whatever RB generates

worthy sonnet
#

What if you only got juggernaut if you executed a target below 35 or 20% depending on massacre

steep osprey
#

This whole issue was also caused with higher rage generation for fury

#

It wasn’t even close to this in bfa

#

And the rotation was fine in bfa

olive nest
#

Jug stacks should just persist while in combat, and last 15 seconds after combat ends for M+*

smoky kayak
#

there is something to be said for rewarding smart gameplay, whether that's delaying SD to maximize Juggernaut or otherwise

certainly, that's gameplay not everyone will necessarily enjoy, but that's fine as long as there are other competitive options - the much more important core problem right now is that there just aren't really

This is probably cursed but I had an idea for fury

one way or another

steep osprey

To make rage something like combo points called slaughtering strikes

basically, 10 stacks for each ability

unironically i do think that would be neat to see for MS variance, personally

implementation of it? No idea, not my forte

smoky kayak
#

way back during WoD I suggested removing Execute from Fury altogether

#

might not be a bad time to revisit that

olive nest
astral talon
#

remove both specs, make sth new

#

EZ

smoky kayak
#

but honestly the real fix would just be reducing some of the power from RB's talents

#

RB as a whole could probably use an overhaul, like idk why Improved RB and Wrath & Fury do basically the same thing

#

and then Wrath & Fury and Hack & Slash also do basically the same thing

#

the RB talents are just so uninspired

thick kelp
#

RB being powerkrept by the 1000 interactions it has

Ramp is pretty good now, but why cast Ramp more when you can cast RB and make your next Ramp stronger instead?

Damn patch notes today and not a thing for dps warrior

what if we gave ramp 5-7 stacking modifiers in a trenchcoat peepoThink

its kinda bruh at this point

coral crescent

Uninvest uninvest uninvest

#

blizz keepin colo sus

fresh spire
#

this is exactly what happened in beta

#

colossus was miles ahead, prepatch launched, blizzard nuked MS with orbital strike while also nerfing the colossus MS Talent, was 160k dps behind slayer on launch of .0

minor gust
#

then got some minor buffs throught the patch to be closer

#

just to be shot in the other knee

fresh spire
#

was still like 60/70k behind slayer entire of last patch

#

But thats more reasonable than 2x the amount, it was close enough the playstyle of it made it successful in keys

minor gust
#

yee

#

which is again if there ends up being no compensation by the time of release, its another point of Blizz making changes with 0 thought

coral crescent
#

What was their half-assed reasoning again for removing CM from execute? Something like it "discouraged pressing your hard hitting ability"

fresh spire
#

i dont see it getting fixed before patch launch at this point, honestly expecting release candidate next week

magic canopy
#

is it too compium fishy

#

to think they didnt actually add the changes last week

tacit crystal
#

i know damn well it isnt full pants

fresh spire
#

if they was going to fix it imo it would have come last week is my guess

#

was secretly hoping today would be the last try for it but expecting nothing now.

minor gust
fresh spire
#

They was working to try give MS as much value as it can hoping to make it focus around Battlelord playstyle

minor gust
#

I see

fresh spire
#

every time MS lights up from EB/BL they wanted it pressed, just the interactions around it didn't beat the value of executes damage + EP% gain, every ms buff only added to executes value

#

Colossus lacks interactions to make it fully push

#

its not far off, just needs more

#

bl was like 1.2% behind or something

tacit crystal
#

hi fishy

fresh spire
#

hi

minor gust
tacit crystal
#

was the sim you posted left or right pants

fresh spire
#

adding MS giving extra stacks of CM in execute range works, buffing the CDR value from each stack over 10 works

#

Little things that add up that could have pushed it closer

minor gust
#

how would that gameplay look just ingoring execute in exe phase

#

basically just treating it as slam

fresh spire
#

well, i found a build for keys that didnt run SD

#

Does it change up the gameplay any?

A lil bit

not really

ww is so useless that you never press it honestly

If you need aoe you take cleave, as simple as that

Just pressing as filler x:

Slam is your filler

yeah dont have it in my bar x:

Time to change that

In M+ we use WW or still useless?

dim basalt

Cleave

#

WW straight up does no damage

minor gust

recommend looking at the wowhead guide for rotation issues

rare kite
#

you can just pretend WW does not exist. it literally does not exist when having cleave talented as cleave replaces it. and if you do not have cleave talented, you're not gonna do any aoe anyway.

At least arms got a Visual REWORK

#

Yay

untold pewter
#

Colossus Smash is saved (literally just new shield break animation, nothing else)
Warbreaker is like... Gross but still a 1000% improvement over what was first shown

#

It still uses the stupid ass TBC model weapons feedback

astral talon
#

It looks pretty new

untold pewter
#

Hmm it's not there on live but we did have the blood for Massacre single target and the AoE Execute that looks like a Cleave with blood before but it just vanished in some patch, not sure which, like it stopped working

Apparently they managed to fix that

#

I am not entirely sure if they polished the blood from how it used to look

#

But at least it's back

#

So the new idea they're trying to convey here is:
-> Your character strikes the primary target strongly, which brings down ethereal weapons around it (striking away from it but striking the surrounding enemies) and thus breaking their armor (AoE)

It IS a gigantic improvement over the previous iteration but the whole ethereal weapon is still a hard miss (for me), I would much rather jump->stomp the ground->cause shockwave that breaks armor than summon silly ass TBC weapons out of thin air

astral talon
#

I like it a lot tbh

this other 1 looked like a silver paladin spell

We had the buffs couple weeks back

Well they had the same buffs

So we were equal, until last. Night now fury does way more st in m+ build, and prob better aoe as well( unless very big packs?)

gusty nymph
#

Well, arms is in a good place… so go buy a 100$ mount and enjoy 🤪

slow saddle
#

Did

#

But in all honesty arms isnt far from playing decently at least to me

Just make demos 1st swing be wb//cs

And id prob enjoy col a lot more

Agreed. Pretty sure a few tweaks are on the way. I ll still play arms anyway. I am a masochist 🥸

colossus needs another buff

#

its an aoe 1 trick that loses on aoe

fresh spire
#

tbh at this point arms just needs a buff in comparison to fury

shadow ibex
#

and still no ST compensation

#

yea

#

idk what those fury buffs were but arms was already meh after that round we got

fresh spire
#

makes me wonder if all this week they are going to be pushing hotfixes out class/spec by spec

#

seems ALL melee is pretty down bad

shadow ibex
#

still no ST compensation for colossus from the demo

#

i really dont think they are even aware it affected col dmg

daring heron
#

i also think exe on col might was good

shadow ibex
#

it wasnt bad at all

daring heron
#

but they decided it wasnt i guess

shadow ibex
#

their reasoning for removing it was 1000% wrong

#

they said colossus used exe too much

#

but you didnt

#

because you couldnt afford it

#

idk where they got that from but it was 100% just wrong information

#

in no world was exe used too much as colossus. the ST build used it just like slayer did where you waited for 4pc before MS

#

which was an issue of MS tuning, not execute stacks

#

like idk man that shit genuinely baffled me

#

it was just a lie

slow saddle
#

If they felt that bind the + stacks to ep

#

So that 2 ep stacks gives extra seconds on the ms use

shadow ibex
#

was nothing to feel

#

their reasoning was bullshit

#

their statement was just false information and these the same people saying warrior is fine

fresh spire
#

Make colossus turn EP backwards hmmNod

#

sound so fucked

slow saddle
#

Make ep stacks work with demo instead of ms?

#

50% more demo fmg

fresh spire
#

nah we got colossus might for that already

slow saddle
#

Modifiers

#

Is arms life m8

#

Dont u know

fresh spire
#

we need a whole circle of buffs

#

Really MS needs to buff something,

slow saddle
#

More modifiers and crappy gameplay plz

fresh spire
#

demolish dont count

brittle fiber
#

MS buffs slam which buffs overpower which buffs execute

#

also ms has 2 charges

still arrow
#

Is unbuffed OP higher prio than slam when rage capped/close to rage capped? Outside of execute

brittle fiber
#

yes

#

look at the damage they do

olive nest
#

Op is higher prio than slam because it can reset MS witch is higher prio than both

#

You shouldn’t ever really be rage capped if you press buttons enough

still arrow
#

Ah ic makes sense, i feel like not pressing op enough so i have more rage pooled since im not getting as many ms resets, not capped really unless i skullsplitter wrong but more hovering at 80-120 constantly

olive nest
#

Ms as much as possible
If you can’t then OP
If you can’t do either, slam or refresh rend dot if it’s in pandemic window

#

Pretty chill spec tbh

#

Of course cleave instead of MS if you’re doing aoe

severe haven
olive nest
#

Yeah it’s weird that demolish doesn’t align properly with CS but I’ve gotten used to just sending it whenever possible

#

It’s also weird to treat SkS as a filler button

#

I feel like it should align with cs and want to be used on cd better but is what it is

severe haven
#

Hate single target even more

#

Skullbreaker janky asf

#

Things Def got better tho

olive nest
#

I don’t think I’m playing the prio perfectly but I will prefer to sks instead of slam if it’s available when I get to a slam in the prio

#

Where as the prio says to sks when you’re below X rage or whatever

shadow ibex

sks use case is so dumb i dont want to go to wowhead to find out when to use this dumb shit

The warrior effects kit should utilize heavy impact and flashy weapon slash effects to emphasize the power of their swings. This new animation looks more like something a more magically inclined class would use, but not a warrior. I scrounged together an example of what I feel a new Colossus Smash/Warbreaker animation revamp should potentially ...
