Thats what we got

fresh spire

Ononononononoonon

steep osprey

it's fake news

#

fresh spire
#

Good

steep osprey
#

earthshatter

#

etc

#

Aftershock too

slow saddle
#

Yup, big heavy slams

#

Press slam x 3 in a row get super slam

spiral coral
rich kernel
#

warbringer?

steep osprey
slow saddle
#

Barbarian

karmic ledge
#

Sweet baby Jesus thank god

rare kite
# rich kernel warbringer?

it's a pvp talent. naming very similar to warbreaker, and sometimes blizzard calls warbreaker warbringer

karmic ledge
#

Good catch I saw that in one of the notes and was like "wtf" did they not learn from pi?

slow saddle
#

Just to make us sad

dim basalt
#

man I just had the sickest court pull ever

#

Had 2.6M dps before the 2nd intermission

#

Almost 15 jugg stacks for the entire fight

#

...

#

I will never have such an insane pull ever again

minor gust
#

Now play Colossus spear on court and let your parse be in the heart of the cards on wether or not you crit during dmg amps

fresh spire
#

šŸ™

minor gust
#

I tried roar Fishy I'm sorry didn't beat my spear pull shame.

fresh spire
#

tbf spear is likely better for like max logs

#

as if you get full crits its monster

boreal remnant
#

give me back cs resets

steep osprey
#

play cata

#

right now

#

it's up

#

you have that

boreal remnant
#

I know

#

give me it on live

steep osprey
#

I played in tier 1 of Cata just now last year

wicked aurora
boreal remnant
#

oh yeah speaking of

steep osprey
#

Killed sinestra then got bored

steep osprey
boreal remnant
#

assuming another 6 months before 11.2 that would be pog timing

steep osprey
#

not even close

minor gust
#

Play neither and play SOD where 2h fury has better gameplay than current arms

boreal remnant
steep osprey
#

True

#

more fun

wicked aurora
#

Eh I prefer arms as is now over cata

steep osprey
#

big slams

wicked aurora
#

cata too slow

boreal remnant
#

also pretty sure in cata the 2 big dogs

#

is like fire mage and arms

steep osprey
#

I mean cata arms is good but I do prefer this one

#

good for it's time

#

great eve

wicked aurora
#

Can't wait for warlock tanks in MoP

steep osprey
#

warlocks never really tanked in mop

dim basalt
steep osprey
#

it was a weird niche

steep osprey
#

probably my favorite spec in mop

wicked aurora
#

all the movement

wicked aurora
#

real

#

can't wait to be top dps as a tank

minor gust
steep osprey
#

hope they nerf vengeance lol

minor gust
#

Should be bringing vengeance back so maybe people would actually like tanking again

wicked aurora
minor gust
#

No one likes having to do all the things tanks have to do while also only doing a 3rd of a DPS dmg

#

Tanking is fun when your keeping up with your dps

wicked aurora
#

I mean it's not like you have to do a lot as a tank

pure otter
#

On god if im getting pounded to the point of 8 months pregnancy i demand the right to piss hard enough to drown a horse

steep osprey
wicked aurora
#

it's just not fun when you don't feel powerful

hard cedar
#

What is the class cooldown for triggering Wayward Vrykul's Lantern for Warrior?

pure otter
#

instead i get to be an imortal trashcan

wicked aurora
#

Tanks imo should be like 70-75% of a DPS

minor gust
#

Press your buttons and test

wicked aurora
#

It doesn't hurt anything to allow tanks to deal damage and or be self sustain machines

misty sandal
wicked aurora
#

Bring back glad stance although that wasn't a tank thing that was converting to a DPS

minor gust
# steep osprey I disagree with that

Whatever it is they just need to focus on making tanking and healing fun. That should be Blizzards top priority because both those roles have been becoming less and less fun every tier

wicked aurora
#

but weirdos that don't tank complained about stupid shit

minor gust
#

Healing is prob the bigger one that people quit

wicked aurora
#

"oh I love it when tanks make me wait 5 minutes while they solo the boss"

#

don't die then idiot

minor gust
#

I've known so many healer mains over the years quit to dps

dim basalt
#

Kinda satisfying

minor gust
#

have some fun and play spear with it and look at big demolish number in dmg amp

#

20 million crit feel good

dim basalt
#

I crit with every demolish hit but the last

#

sadge

#

Spear feels so weird tho

minor gust
#

completely disagree spear is very much nice to use now after the changes

#

all the cringeness about it is gone

dim basalt
#

I wish it was off the gcd ngl

minor gust
#

never gonna happen if we cant even get SS off the gcd

dim basalt
#

SS bothers me less

minor gust
#

it should bother you more 😠

dim basalt
#

Needing 3 gcds to prepare big dam feels horrible

rare kite
#

why in the world does SS bother you less? you press SS 3x as much as spear

dim basalt
#

Because I dont pair it with x other cds at the same time all the time

minor gust
#

ima delete that I went full silly goose

dim basalt
#

man

#

I wanna play colossus on every boss

shadow ibex
#

Just a few more days

#

And our time is now

dim basalt
#

How so

#

Colossus is still too far behind Slayer next patch

#

Tho you could argue that it has less rng which evens it out

#

Or do you mean because some bosses are actually colossus favored

shadow ibex
#

Colossus also supposed to have bad m+ st

#

Yet it's pretty good

dim basalt
#

Its not as bad as some make it out to be yeah

#

Dunno, maybe colossus actually is better on some fights

#

I can see it for third boss depending on how adds spawn

#

4th as well

shadow ibex
#

I think it's gonna be a lot more playable in raidthan now

#

Which is a low bar

dim basalt
#

For sure

shadow ibex
#

But we take those

minor gust
#

which is why we prayge the incoming arms nerf is a Slayer only nerf

autumn folio
#

for the current season end, would you recommend slayer or colossus for M+? im sure yall have said this before, im thinking of making the switch from fury

shadow ibex
#

I don't think we will get nerfed

#

A pretty gross melee to stack that doesn't bring anything when more than 1 is invited

autumn folio
minor gust
#

im just expecting a nerf so im not hurt when it happens and happy when it doesnt

shadow ibex
#

They still need to answer for dance of death

minor gust
#

warrior dont survive ptr or week 1 at this point

shadow ibex
#

And I hate the middle of our tree. Just take the least shit dps increases

#

I swear I want rend to be a choice node

rare kite
shadow ibex
#

Idk what with but the more I mess around with the trer

#

The uglier middle is

#

You've got a few mando like impale and the OP shit

#

And then you go do I want EB BB sks finishing blows or do I want aoe stuff

#

One day bleeds will be so bad we can skip rend bedge

olive nest
#

Mortal Strike applies Deepwounds
Slam applies Rend

steep osprey
#

how about no

#

delete rend

#

ggiga buff dw

topaz geyser
#

Hey guys, I fell a bit behind on the Season 2 changes. What are we going to play, Fury or Arms?
For M+ and Raid

shadow ibex
#

I'd rather not giga buff it tbh lol

minor gust
#

Ngl think they should redesign arms talent tree to be a bleed build vs a Non bleed build instead of MS vs Exe

#

can redo a bit a Slayer to be more bleed focused while colossus is the non bleed focus

shadow ibex
#

It's such a mess

#

Look to shaman and see OK they pick do they wanna be lightning or lava lash and all that

#

Whereas we just move down the tree skipping the shit stuff

minor gust
#

yeah not all talent trees are created equal unfort. Think that was def the design idea for hero talents. to give specs more gameplay diversity to carry the lack of it in the core spec talents

shadow ibex
#

I guess it's good there are no trap options in war tree. If you aoe u get cleave if not you only skip sks and 1 bb or fb

#

With st spec you practically have everything you want. You don't need cleave so a third of our mid tier is blank

dim basalt
#

Is it just me or does bloodlust also feel so much better on colossus

#

cuz of MS resets

rare kite
dim basalt
#

Wait, I think thats the silken build specifically

#

Does Colossus usually take battlelord in ST?

minor gust
#

no

shadow ibex
#

Not now but next week

dim basalt
#

oh well

minor gust
#

specifically for court

dim basalt
#

That talent is just 10/10

#

ngl

minor gust
#

TWW Arms is incredibly boring without BL and EB

dim basalt
#

ye

shadow ibex
#

It's rough

#

Still surprised unhinged tyranny will continue

#

Both hero specs slamming the same talents

minor gust
#

idk unhinged is the only thing keeping BS useful in ST they really just need to remove that valor talent above BS and Ravager so its one less point or hell even better make rav/BS and unhinged in the middle row of the tree instead.

#

shit or you know what even better why isnt Rav/BS in the class tree instead of roar or spear. Rav is already a spell in all 3 specs... and 2/3 has bladestorm

shadow ibex
#

i was thinking

#

put BS higher up and make it fuck

#

and CS at bottom with an iftk cap node

minor gust
#

like isnt it just weird that all 3 specs have ravager in their spec trees

shadow ibex
#

Avatar should be higher in class tree. After tr and spear I'm against any more dmg in class tree

minor gust
#

spec trees all have spots being used for the same abillity

shadow ibex
#

Cuz they have to be buffed whenever we get actual ability buffs

minor gust
#

thats not really an excuse tho

#

just cuz blizz cant code their game

shadow ibex
#

I think it is dumb all 3 have ravager tho. It's not the end of the world but it's a little tacky/inelegant

rapid bronze
#

does anyone remember if warrior was good in MoP?

shadow ibex
#

But shaman all have primordial wave too

olive nest
shadow ibex
#

Warrior was fine in mop. Probably best version of fury but very easy to ruin your rotation

rapid bronze
#

hmm, kinda tempted to roll a warlock for MoP classic but I dont want to miss on warrior if it was good at the time

shadow ibex
#

It's very obtuse. Have to go into a CS windows with resources ready

#

You only got RB charges if BT crit

rapid bronze
#

oof

shadow ibex
#

Yea

#

And I wanna say it stacked once? So you go into a CS windows with 1 ready and this was back when fury rotation was BT filler filler BT

#

And berserker rage was a dps cool down since it insta granted one charge

#

You had to play very conservative. All ur dmg was cs windows. Much better to have an empty global than to RB and not have charges ready when CS was back

#

This was before to AM as well

#

HS existed too so you wanted max rage to get max HS casts inside CS so not only did you have to play conservative with rb charges but rage as well

#

Probably the most complicated fury iteration imo. Multiple rage spenders and super rng with crits powering your rotation

rapid bronze
#

sounds like warlock is the way to go haha

#

was arms that complicated?

dim basalt
#

why wl

shadow ibex
#

Arms had like 3/4 versions in mop alone

#

Crit was so important for fury I memorized how much rating you needed for 1%

quasi torrent
#

S word???

rapid bronze
#

I don't know if it's a community lore thing but people always look back at warlock in MoP as peak class design

shadow ibex
#

Every 600 crit was 2% bt crit chance so worgen was dumb hot

rapid bronze
#

I remember reading the blog of that warlock designer and it looked like they put a lot of thought into it

rapid bronze
#

they also had metamorphosis IIRC

shadow ibex
#

Excuse me but my free 1% crit translates to my spec being playable

dim basalt
#

We need the SV dev to re-design arms

shadow ibex
#

I might play mop classic if they keep the weird shit

rapid bronze
#

the panda sex?

shadow ibex
#

Fury was able to get so much crit rating + the way the combat table worked meant you could push regular white auto attacks off the combat table

#

So all autos were either glancing blows, misses or a crit

#

Since duel wield could never get rid of misses like 2h specs could

#

That's the weird mop shit

dreamy sandal
#

Yo bois, is there some fun Arms PTR talents build I can try out somewhere?

rare kite
#

no such thing

#

there are some strong ptr builds tho

shadow ibex
#

You don't think dance of death is fun?

rare kite
#

only storm of swords is fun

shadow ibex
#

its funny that dance of death survived 3? spec tree touch ups

#

its gotta have a true 0% pick rate

serene hollow
#

if the unhinged ms obeyed sweeping strikes then I imagine that it could be very strong during 2 target execute with low hp adds that die under 2 bigger targets, but that is extremely niche

shadow ibex
#

it could maybe have uses higher in the tree

#

but the opportunity cost is like the most expensive ever in wow history

#

i just dont know how its still around. they make WoW they know capstones are the "better" talents of which we have the fewest points to spend, yet one of the 5 is a straight up on death effect

serene hollow
#

i'm not particularly happy with fatality either, even if it was strong

shadow ibex
#

fatality is whatever. its a boring thing that will do x% of ur dam its fine as a capstone imo

#

no thinking just this thing should do like 3-4% of ur dam

#

i'd love to see it in m+ in a world where u dont need to pop it because that part of it is just unrealistic in multitarget

hollow wave
#

boring is Slam, I just have to press it for anger management, how unfun is that

shadow ibex
#

type slam in your talent search bar

#

see how many things affect it

serene hollow
#

slam is pretty unsatisfying but you eventually have to fill with something

shadow ibex
#

great button

shadow ibex
serene hollow
#

well I did prefer having an off gcd way to spend rage, but I don't think that's a common opinion

#

like I liked pressing ignore pain for dps in dragonflight s1

olive nest
#

I quite like the button mashing reset fiesta we have now just wish I didn’t have to consider rage during execute phase

shadow ibex
#

just let me execute always why do i need this near vestigial shit

#

take bloodsurge instead of bb

#

and finishing

#

and exe rage is almost infinite as slayer

olive nest
#

Finishing blows instead of what?

shadow ibex
#

sks

olive nest
#

Bb for bs I can see

#

Ahh sks

#

Yeah I didn’t think of that I’ll try it

shadow ibex
#

should be fine next tier

#

i think objectively bb is better than surge but its close and actually makes shit feel better

#

rend doing 3% of overall in sims

#

cutting 5% off that is peanuts

#

t roar fighting colossus smash casts in dmg

olive nest
#

That’s insanely bad lmao

shadow ibex
#

the state of the 90 sec CDs is just pathetic

olive nest
#

No bloord aye?

#

Surprising for st

shadow ibex
#

EB and BL do the same thing

#

one costs a global

#

i find it hard to justify them both if we're being 10000% objective

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

also as slayer you prio OP so much with opportun that a reset from its cast may be useless

#

so MS could very well be ready already with an OP cast

#

so your BL reset did nothing

#

like MS into tact proc now im at x2 OP charge + opp but + EB procd send the opportunist OP over MS EB reset. cool BL reset it too and did nothing

quaint otter
shadow ibex
#

You take 0 capstone for roar or spear

#

Spear does less damage period. You only take roar because it's no other dmg increase to take that's better

#

Spear with no capstone is just a 90 sec button that does less damage than a single mortal strike. Roar does less too but at least it ticks a lot and each tick can crit. And dmg being bleed means it doesn't eat a global of colossus smash

#

From what I heard blizzard isn't happy with them. I'd remove both and just bake their capstone in under avatar somewhere higher in the tree.

steep osprey
#

Also, I agree. I don’t think either specs would lose much in terms of gameplay if they removed both TR and Spear

#

The capstones could buff BS or something

edgy solstice
#

"blizz isn't happy with the capstones" as if they're happy with anything related to arms

#

arms been on life support since legion

steep osprey
#

During it

#

A bit buffed

#

And the spear buff during ravager

#

Or maybe avatar too

#

Big avatar

#

Or just completely revamp it and add in new things

#

Just not as aoe cds lol

#

We don’t need more than BS or ravager tbh

shadow ibex
#

i dont think our class tree needs 3 offensive cooldowns

#

no one else does lol

steep osprey
#

If anything, removing them would help buff BS/ Ravager as the sole aoe ability

teal fossil
#

They just pruned cds out of rogues

#

I think they have 2 now

#

Technically dh has 3

#

3-4

#

Depends on how you feel about meta

#

Hunt sigil and CA

minor gust
#

havoc is so fucking buttery smooth now with the 11.1 changes

#

great spec to play as an alt

teal fossil
#

Ye that’s why I’ve been looking into it

#

That’s what I mean though, if you just put enough work on how a class flows the small stuff in trees do not really matter

minor gust
#

moving movement dps away from fel rush and only into backflip and hun is grea

shadow ibex
#

they need to just do an outlaw style rework instead of this baby shit every few patches that end up the same as before

#

they tried to mix up our class tree like 4 times now since DF started. we still take all the same shit

#

i still have 2/2 wild strikes 2/2 crit 2/2 armor

minor gust
#

aka what MM just got a full vision reset

shadow ibex
#

all their attempts have failed lol

#

my class tree looks a lil different from start of DF but biggest difference is now i can get shockwave. still got all my 2/2 shit still got avatar + a capstone

#

only thing we lost was a capstone under roar or spear

#

otherwise exact same situation despite 4 retouches

steep osprey
#

They made echoing reprimand a passive after using an ability now

#

They could do the same for warriors

#

Like ravager increases your critical strike damage during it

#

Elysian might basically

#

But baked into another cd

shadow ibex
#

yea

#

avatar

steep osprey
#

I’d prefer ravager tbh

#

Avatar can get thunderous words

shadow ibex
#

ravagers powercreep is unreal since anything touching MS makes it amazing

#

and most things touch MS now

steep osprey
#

Thoughts on nerfing unhinged

shadow ibex
#

u dont have to if u move rav/BS in the middle of the tree

#

so the bottom 10 points are dominated by 3 points

#

all specs must take valor must take rav/BS must take unhinged

steep osprey
#

Remove valor and put bs up

#

It’s useless anyway

shadow ibex
#

only if they make parry 90 sec baseline

steep osprey
#

They’ll have to

shadow ibex
#

playing with a 2min defensive is like 2019 shit

#

every aoe/st spec must take that path at the bottom of the tree is awful to me imo

#

in an expac with hero specs thats just no bueno

arctic iris
#

What spec have people been using on the PTR for keys?

daring flicker
#

poop

shadow ibex
#

U can play same colossus spec as live

tough tangle
rigid ravine
#

second question what hero spec in arms seems to be doing the best

#

no acess to any sheet or data unfort

Arms Owns guys!

fathom shoal
north tinsel
#

so question for the arms warrior does anyone have a good M+ spec for colosuss becaus ei love the playstyle but i need a good talent build for running M+ and any macros taht would be good also help šŸ˜„ ive looked at guides btu i dont see any that really make sense to me

north tinsel
#

@minor gust i looked at that but my question for that would be why take Blunt interment's Instead of Wordbreaker???

minor gust
#

actually just now lookin at the colossus build he has in there yeah that thing is yuck and not updated

north tinsel
#

see its not jsut me

#

thats why im asking lol

minor gust
north tinsel
#

XD

minor gust
#

here u go

north tinsel
#

thank you šŸ˜„

minor gust
#

oops

#

missing MBG

north tinsel
#

MBG?

minor gust
#

there u go

north tinsel
#

do you have a copy code?

#

or jsut the picture?/

#

also thank you so much i appreciate it

minor gust
#

CcEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYmZmZMjxsNbLLjZAAAAYw0wYYZYGYsMmZGMzwYGDzwAAAAAAAgZMbjxAsFDgNzYYBGYGtRDgF

north tinsel
#

any macros that would be helpful? or useful?

minor gust
#

dont really need macros for warrior just a Stance macro for dstance and @cursor macros

north tinsel
#

i use a couple of macros for poping Cds

#

and dropping ravanger at feet

hollow wave
#

It was way more fun

#

At least I knew IP was for something, and not a random useless Slam

serene hollow
#

well ignore pain was just better dps than slam was. Arms was also very tanky that season literally for free

#

kinda like frost dk this season

quaint otter
#

spending rage for defensive doesnt sound free for me chatting

shadow ibex
#

It was more like a 40 rage OP

quaint otter
#

Also benefited to am/tom

#

Gamer button

rare kite
#

And saying ignore pain made arms very tanky is a joke

quaint aspen
glossy tusk
#

Where nerfs i cant take this waiting

steep osprey
#

I was thinking they could make it a large shield on a 30 second cooldown or something

#

like ice barrier

#

instead of this weak absorb

#

or they could make it work like the legion necklace legendary as a passive

#

30% of your hp as an absorb every 30 seconds

vapid pine
#

Would be fine as is if they just buffed the number tbh

#

In case of emergency button that loses DPS but makes you live crazy moments. Problem with it now is just it doesn't really make you live

eager sigil
#

the number isnt even bad

#

how big of a shield do you guys want to call it strong?

#

it prevents 1.9m for me

vapid pine
#

1.9m maximum, after what... 4 globals and 120 rage?

eager sigil
#

one cast is 400k

vapid pine
#

Ok mb 5 globals and 175 rage

latent arrow
#

If I want to pick up the game again for season 2 do I need to get the special ring?

#

Or will s2 wx hero track ring be better?

eager sigil
#

it takes like 20minutes

vapid pine
#

Probably the most efficient time spent ever

vapid pine
steep osprey
#

not 10 seconds

#

with the same duration

#

the downside should be that you're using rage to make yourself tanky

#

when you could have used it for damage

eager sigil
#

yea maybe make it make us immune to all damage for 30s

steep osprey
#

sus

eager sigil
#

dont think warriors need more defensives

#

some more hp will be nice

dim basalt
#

Thats what we get next patch

steep osprey
#

I don't think arms really needs any but IP being good would be actally nice

dim basalt
#

But Id still appreciate IP to not have a cd

#

Could be useful in certain dungeons

#

For specific cases

eager sigil
#

yea bubble would be nice too but cant have it all

steep osprey
#

how did we go from no cd on IP to bubble? lol

#

what are you talking about

halcyon breach
#

Keep it on a CD but make it not take 5 business days to stack up to a somewhat humanoid defensive

steep osprey
#

I kinda don't like having to keep up IP every few seconds

thick kelp
#

1min cd lasts 1min

#

gives a fair shield

steep osprey
#

that sounds like too much especially considering we're also doing our dps rotation at the same time

thick kelp
#

like 3.5milly or smth

steep osprey
thick kelp
#

sounds abit broken

#

to just get one every 30s

#

from a talent

#

without any effort

steep osprey
#

I mean u can tune it easily

#

specific absorb

#

value

vapid pine
steep osprey
#

there u go xdd

vapid pine
#

More time I spend in here (maining warrior next season for raid) the more I realize how cucked warriors are tbh

#

Zero utility, zero range, dogshit defensives, was good last raid and immediately got assrailed XD

steep osprey
#

none of that is really true except for range lol

vapid pine
#

Feint got put off GCD becuase it was too much to press for a 40% DR for people

steep osprey
#

warrior is one of the tankiest classes in the game

vapid pine
#

But the other classes don't have to do that

steep osprey
#

you're not dropping your damage for it

#

I'm mostly talking about fury

#

arms is gonna get a lot tankier next patch though

vapid pine
#

Also stats are looking like this the entire tier

steep osprey
#

warriors have the zug zug mentality

#

fury is actually top 5 in terms of tankiness

#

but people are dumb

vapid pine
steep osprey
#

giga hp, 10% perma dr too

#

defensive stance

#

need I say more

dim basalt
#

^

vapid pine
#

Defensive stance is dropping your damage

steep osprey
#

it's actually insane hjow many defensive stuff fury has

#

barely

#

for a few seconds

dim basalt
#

Oh no, 10% less damage for a few seconds

vapid pine
#

10% perma DR is lower than both DK and ret pala have passively

dim basalt
#

Ret sucks tho

steep osprey
#

im not saying dk is not tankier, it is

#

you can't compare how tanky dk is

#

to ANYONE

dim basalt
#

Plus their tankiness gets a hit next patch

steep osprey
#

but fury is still one of the tnakiest specs in the game

steep osprey
#

their stamina went from 20% right?

#

to what?

dim basalt
#

Not sure but it is significant

vapid pine
#

12% or smth, passive magic DR lowered too

dim basalt
#

Think 20 -> 12

steep osprey
#

yeah

vapid pine
#

In raid any spec with cheat is like an autowin though

steep osprey
#

still one of hte tankiest if not the most but the nerf did bring them down a lot

vapid pine
#

So top 5 isn't even really a discussion imo

steep osprey
#

maybe not top 5 but still one of the best

vapid pine
#

And then you're comparing like warlocks and you're already kinda out of top 10

steep osprey
#

I still don't think there's a reason to complain about tankiness as a warrior

#

or fury

dim basalt
#

Even less so next patch

vapid pine
#

The general complaint was more like

dim basalt
#

The 10% hp will feel insane

vapid pine
#

Warriors kinda just have nothing

dim basalt
#

Fury will be legit unkillable lol

steep osprey
#

a lot of classes have nothing

#

it's not exclusive to warriors

vapid pine
#

Most, if not all, classes have standout things

#

Even if they're ultra-niche

dim basalt
#

Thats SR in our case

vapid pine
#

Actually that's fake, spell reflect

#

ye

dim basalt
#

25% magic dr minimum

steep osprey
#

"fake"

vapid pine
steep osprey
#

warriors also have battle shout

#

that's a thing no one has lol

dim basalt
#

And there are some cases where SR is straight up broken

steep osprey
dim basalt
#

Kyveza prog without SR would be a lot worse

#

ngl

steep osprey
#

true SR is giga

dim basalt
#

Also for last boss CoT

#

And prot can use it in a lot of places

eager sigil
dim basalt
#

true

steep osprey
#

not to mention random clasts from mobs

#

casts

dim basalt
#

SR damage 😩

#

Love reflecting the big hit from the big dudes in SV

#

10M+ for free

lunar remnant
#

Having rend and TC on two separate buttons feels weird, slam feels useless to press especially when running cleave.. and why is SS on the GCD? Coming from fury arms feels clunky / bloated maybe it’s bc I’m geared for fury and not arms.

quasi torrent
#

it's such a miniscule diff

lunar remnant
#

Oh hell yeah I’m doing that saves me one binding

#

Ty anda

quasi torrent
#

slam tho
yeah slam peepee

#

still wanna press it on st with cleave to not yoink MP stacks

#

gg

frosty lava
# vapid pine Warriors kinda just have nothing

Comparing specs in an argument of who is the tankiest is a bit irrelevant since every spec that isn't in the bottom third is already 'tanky' since content is designed to be survived by any spec (you'd hope)

Warriors are insanely tanky when you take specs like shaman (just a first thought, unsure which class is actually the squishiest) who only realistically have 3 buttons to live instances of damage, 2 being 3+ minute cooldowns, and almost 0 passive DR or bonus HP to help out outside of that

lunar remnant
#

Yeah I’m usually like on of the last dps in our core to die on wipes we are tanky.. try a boomkin and you’ll see the difference lol

dim basalt
#

Think druids are the squishiest

#

Or at least very close to sham

frosty lava
#

Also anyone who sleeps on dstance is super silly (to keep it pg) imo

steep osprey
frosty lava
#

If you learn to use it on prog right before a big 1 hit instance of damage, and immediately swap back when you can, you'll see how immortal warriors are

dim basalt
#

Bear really isnt that insane

steep osprey
#

(I am joking)

dim basalt
#

a

steep osprey
#

b

frosty lava
#

bear and ghost wolf for shammy are the poorest excuses for defensives I've ever seen

steep osprey
#

ghost wolf isn't really supposed to be a defensive button lol

frosty lava
#

yea

steep osprey
#

bear form is at least instantenous and u get the hp immediately

dim basalt
#

That thing is genuinely cursed

frosty lava
#

but if things are bad enough, sometimes you might need to pre-stack the 20% DR lol

#

life as a squishy spec if externals aren't available ig

steep osprey
#

prestack for 5 seconds

#

xdd

#

isn't havoc also pretty squishy aside from their immunity

dim basalt
#

ye

frosty lava
#

they have baked in passive DR

#

they're better at rot than a lot of specs

steep osprey
#

and they also have leech which isn't that good

#

it's good for rot though

frosty lava
#

I wouldn't say havoc is lowest since atleast they cover rot

minor gust
#

perma 10% dr on havoc will carry it

steep osprey
#

I didn't know havoc had 10% dr

minor gust
#

in their AR hero talent

steep osprey
#

of course it's in a hero talent

#

who else is squishy

frosty lava
#

I remember evoker being squishy in RWF prog but

#

idk how that compares to usual guild prog

#

I dont play evoker

steep osprey
#

They could be

#

is hunter?

#

hunters are a lot more tanky since rework

frosty lava
#

yea not sure tbh

#

goes to show tho that we're atleast upper half of survivability tho

#

all these classes would kill for even 1 of our non major defensives

#

or passive DR

steep osprey
#

it's ridiculous how tanky warlocks are

frosty lava
#

same as warriors though

#

warriors and warlocks need more

steep osprey
#

true

frosty lava
#

cause meatheads play them

steep osprey
#

zug zug

frosty lava
#

no offense to the friendly fire

steep osprey
#

what about rogue

frosty lava
#

feint

steep osprey
#

nobody uses feint lmao

frosty lava
#

legit that's all that needs to be said

#

but if they do, they can't die

steep osprey
#

that's true

#

outlaw especially has feint and built in dr from stackign vers

#

Isn't monk kinda mid

#

oh god priest too

#

spriest is so squishy it's cursed

frosty lava
#

yea..

#

I think blizz see hybrid specs and assume their heals count as a defensive

#

when 1. it's a huge damage loss (dstance doesn't come close) and 2. it's tiny anyways

steep osprey
#

I remember playing spriest in DF for a bit

#

and my hp is just not happy

frosty lava
#

aren't priests worst of both worlds?

#

no mobility, no survivability

steep osprey
#

so true

#

so we're probably top 5 tankiest classes

frosty lava
#

but I think them being the slowest is a benefit since they get top prio for evoker uppies lol

steep osprey
#

Rogue, Warrior, DK, warlock, Paladin?

frosty lava
#

yea like off the top of my head

#

mage is like

#

#1

#

DK/Pally/Rogue/Warlocks are up there

steep osprey
#

Yeah that's true, mage can survive anything with alter time

frosty lava
#

Unsure how monks are post TWW rework when they lost a few defensives

steep osprey
#

and ice block

#

i like mage defensives

#

they don't have a lot of built in dr or anything

#

but you have to play properly to survive stuff

frosty lava
#

yea bad mages are pretty much permanently dead

steep osprey
#

skill issue

frosty lava
#

tbh though

#

the squishiest specs dont need more defensives

#

the rest of us need to lose some

steep osprey
#

I don't think I agree with that

#

I think specs like shaman need some dr

frosty lava
#

but that just leads to defensive creep

#

raids have slowly become more 1-shotty with damage taken because we have infinite buttons to respond

steep osprey
#

I don't trust they're going to reduce that with nerfs lol

frosty lava
#

it makes the gameplay kinda dog for healers too

#

yea ofc

#

but it has to happen inbetween expansions as a survivability rework

steep osprey
#

I noticed that healers are not liking it rn

#

is DStance 15% dr?

frosty lava
#

like shammies having your stereotypical 90 sec CD + 2 long CD defensives that aren't just generic DRs is actually good design if kyveza didn't demand 3 defensives per intermission during prog and one of their 3 is a 5min CD

frosty lava
#

wait yea

#

15% DR 10% dam loss

steep osprey
#

kyveza is a byproduct of insane defensives lol

frosty lava
#

exactly

steep osprey
#

but it's not balanced because u have classes like dk

#

and then u have others like shaman

frosty lava
#

if you don't have a defensive up for every line in last intermission (granted, almost every guild kills before 3rd intermission with bis gear + ring + 18% dam) you die on atleast half the classes

steep osprey
#

I don't think i've ever seen a class as tanky as dk in this tier lol

#

like ever

frosty lava
#

we're approaching that next season

#

watch fury become immortal

#

10% perma DR + 10% health + 2nd 2hander stam + (If talented) 8% thane DR

steep osprey
#

still gonna be the most deaths

frosty lava
#

this is all perma

#

yea ofc

#

haha

steep osprey
#

because of zug mentality

#

and it's gonna skew perception

#

8% thane dr isn't perma

frosty lava
#

so basically fury is getting pretty much a permanent DR passively for other class standards

#

and we still have dstance

#

reflect

#

regen

#

leech

#

impending victory

steep osprey
#

shh

frosty lava
#

haha

steep osprey
#

silenco

#

tbh we do need defensiev nerf

#

but idk what they can hit

frosty lava
#

reflect could easily just be a niche that isn't a DR

steep osprey
#

they could reduce the dr

frosty lava
#

impending should probably also just go back to being victory rush without the talent option to make it work without kills

steep osprey
#

it's 25% right?

orchid raft
#

From playing DK this tier, nothing comes close to it's tankiness

steep osprey
#

it could be 15% or something

frosty lava
#

DKs are getting a slight nerf though atleast

steep osprey
#

it's not slight

#

they got magic dr nerfed from a talent

#

and max hp

frosty lava
orchid raft
#

Yeah, but Will of the Necropolis is just insane, 30% dr under 35% hp

frosty lava
#

yuh

orchid raft
#

plus 20% stam, and passive 8% magic dr

frosty lava
#

especially when it snapshots damage at full health if it takes you below 35%, and applies the DR to the entire hit

orchid raft
#

Add Death Strike and AMS and how do you die

frosty lava
#

so you go down to maybe 60% health, but still received the 30% DR

orchid raft
#

Juuuuuuupp

steep osprey
#

they should remove the snapshot at least

frosty lava
#

it's a cool niche defensive they should keep since it isn't you know... copy pasted like most defensives

#

but do they need 20% health

#

it's things like that they should target

slow saddle
#

DK is insane

#

the rework their class tree got

#

oh i envy it as warrior

steep osprey
steep osprey
#

considering we're also pretty tanky

frosty lava
slow saddle
#

not their tankyness

steep osprey
#

especially next patch

slow saddle
#

their class tree

steep osprey
frosty lava
#

yea true

steep osprey
#

next patch

frosty lava
#

our trees are pretty boring and flawed

#

sadge

steep osprey
#

yeah i agree

#

I wish they'd remove TR and Spear

#

too many dps cds

#

and t hey're shit now anyway

slow saddle
#

yeah

steep osprey
#

just remove them and add in some passive

slow saddle
#

i like how dk tree is PURE utility

steep osprey
#

We do not need that much cds

slow saddle
#

like the improvement of amz to the randomness

#

stuff like that

frosty lava
#

things like spear and droar should be a shared talent choice with all the extras inbuilt as a last row option

slow saddle
#

is cool

steep osprey
frosty lava
#

but with both in the last area, we can't ever have spare points to move into other areas of our class tree

#

we are forced to take damage throughput

slow saddle
#

i dno i just feel like when i go down the line as dk theres an illusion of good choices

steep osprey
#

There's no reason spear and TR should be a different ability

frosty lava
#

I could see reason tbh for fury atleast

#

if CDs are stronger, usually droar is better since it buffs odyn's fury

#

if core abilities are stronger, spears crit dam increase benefits that instead

steep osprey
#

They could do a lot of things to crit damage fdrom spear

#

like make it work for ravager with a talent in class tree

#

during ravager u get more crit damage

frosty lava
#

honestly, spear should hit harder and droar shouldn't exist

steep osprey
#

or thunderous words for another abilityt

#

etc

frosty lava
#

spear in shadowlands felt awesome

frosty lava
#

with a potential 40 sec CD in aoe

steep osprey
#

Spear does less damage than one Mortal Strike

frosty lava
#

well

#

are we talking execute MS

steep osprey
#

it should do 10x the damage of a MS

frosty lava
#

since that can crit for almost 10 mil

steep osprey
#

look at the AP

frosty lava
#

what's the % increase on the talent for spears instant impact tho

steep osprey
#

50%

frosty lava
#

yea damn

#

that's pretty bad

thick kelp
#

Warrior affix is real

steep osprey
#

i mean it's trash

#

They need to giga buff spear

#

to do 5x the damage of MS

#

or something

frosty lava
#

spear in SL felt like the best ability to press in the entire kit as fury atleast

#

it should be more exciting than say

#

avatar

#

colo smash

steep osprey
#

so true

frosty lava
#

bladestorm is an exception

#

that needs to feel better

steep osprey
#

they need to make this more exciting

#

thunderous roar is trash

#

they've been doing stuff to it for a whilke

#

since it was dragon's roar

#

and it's still trash

#

just remove it

#

bad experiment

#

Spear is a new exciting ability

#

that's good

#

tether

#

etc

frosty lava
#

troar was pretty busted in DF, but even then I'd rather just use spear

#

like they're both the same idea

#

button we press in CD window to make CDs feel cooler

steep osprey
#

yeah, true

#

Idk what they could do with TR if they removed it

#

but pls no cds

#

passive or something

frosty lava
#

you don't

#

just do it the mage way

#

where there's a few capstones you want for throughput

#

but only the very last row

#

so you still have spare points for util or other shit

steep osprey
#

true

frosty lava
#

then you can add the highly desired warrior util lol

#

imo, we need to see a new iteration on mop banners, and lust

steep osprey
#

they could make these 3 rows into 2 only with spear and avatar as dps cds

frosty lava
#

fury players would hate this but

#

just make avatar arms spec tree

#

reck feels like shit for fury anyways

#

losing avatar means we'd need some sort of compensation buff

#

move the power back to reck

thick kelp
#

Avatar should be a prot only CD

steep osprey
frosty lava
steep osprey
#

nuh uh

frosty lava
#

just make spare crit convert to crit dam

steep osprey
#

i don't wanna do damage in 6 seconds every 50 seconds

frosty lava
#

I don't mean that

#

I just mean make reck grant 100% crit

#

make it share a choice node with AM if they want

steep osprey
#

well, if it gives 100% crit it's gonna be balanced around doing damage during reck

#

that's just how it is

frosty lava
#

yea ofc

#

that's why you share a node with AM

#

frequent CD vs giga CD designs

steep osprey
#

why would anyone take AM

frosty lava
#

and remove RA

steep osprey
#

with 100% crit node

frosty lava
#

cause you're still getting 20% crit + double rage gen + blade/ravager 2x-3x more often

latent hull
#

Theyd have to buff bladestorm and ravager

#

But thats a cool idea

lunar remnant
#

AM is really good but I like when my coolies line up

quaint otter
#

huge burst and crit amp

slow saddle

just have the node be bigger cd vs half the cooldown

i like having Ravager + WB often

when u play slayer it feels worse coz i dont want bladestorm more

esp execute where u just pump out big ms by buffing it

i still think they should remove collateral dmg
