idk why they remoed ep

#

gg

quasi torrent
#

but the fights in uldir

#

were also tailored for arms

shadow ibex
#

That was like 12 days

quasi torrent
#

well i had 2x mythic EP

#

(there was 0 from raid, i just boxed them)

shadow ibex
#

Uldir had a lot of arms fights but we were a lil under tuned

ripe field
#

Where should I look for basic ST/AoE Arms rotation

quasi torrent
#

affli and frost dk

#

were just overtuned

#

๐Ÿ‘

eager sigil
steep osprey
eager sigil
#

Mostly just press stuff on cd

ripe field
steep osprey
#

for 2 target

quasi torrent
#

zekvoz, vectis, fetid if u could stay on boss, mythrax

#

were all turbo arms fights

steep osprey
#

what made them arms fights?

#

just 2 target?

quasi torrent
#

timers worked well + 2 target

steep osprey
#

right

quasi torrent
#

its like ovi is a fury fight cause u got bladestorm every set

#

and u do big fuck

shadow ibex
#

The blood guy was a perfect arms fight but you could still be beat by other specs is what I mean

#

But yea all the timers were nice for arms

#

Zekvoz spawned adds and back then we had wb and bs with every spawn

quasi torrent
#

i NEVER played 3x LOW on zekvoz

#

with my mythic merekthas fang

#

surely not

#

and then after smallies died

#

u had 3x guys that u walked to boss to

#

so extended 2 target

quasi torrent
#

ghuun tendrils (bad)

#

steep osprey
#

shadow ibex
#

Gorilla one was best for arms st iirc

steep osprey
#

there was one in ulduar

shadow ibex
#

I remember using a socket one

quasi torrent
#

gorilla isnt uldir

#

oh u mean grongs

steep osprey
#

bod

#

yeah

quasi torrent
#

it had fucky haste scaling

#

it gained ticks similar to how bladestorm did in SL

steep osprey
#

grongs was basically draught of souls but shitty because no damage scaling

shadow ibex
#

It was also just bad trknket tier

steep osprey
#

yeah uldir and bod were both shitty trinket tiers

quasi torrent
#

i got a WF everchill anchor on my first yayna kill

steep osprey
#

then u get ep with corals

quasi torrent
#

psychic shell was so op for tanks

steep osprey
#

yeah i remember that being used in pvp lol

quasi torrent
#

we sold a lot of boosts

#

to pvpers

steep osprey
#

humming black dragonscale was cool

#

similar to aberrus trinket

#

I feel like wow doesn't really innovate on trinkets

#

or make them exciting

#

it's always the same things

zinc wolf
#

We call it

steep osprey
#

there are some exciting ones like inkpod

zinc wolf
#

Insta death trinket

silk spade
#

this season

#

(transmitter)

zinc wolf
#

Inkpod was only good cause of coral or if you had high crit

#

If it didnt crit...

#

Rip

quaint otter
#

hate the concept best trinkets being raid only

frosty lava
#

bring back SoO and ToT style trinkets bro

zinc wolf
void bay
silk spade
zinc wolf

people would argue having best trinket behind dungeon is worse

quaint otter
boreal quartz
#

Trinkets are shit if they arent opc OWS clueless

zinc wolf
#

OWS gladge

steep osprey
#

OWS isn't really exciting

#

it's a passive

frosty lava
#

OWS + Gland overkill haste was a dream

boreal quartz
shadow ibex
#

When that dev interview said oh sometimes we make this trinket with X with an eye to it being good on Y fight of the raid my fuckin mind was blown

boreal quartz
#

Goated shit man

#

Gland is rlly good imo

frosty lava
#

or OWS + Sigil + gavel for infinite burst

shadow ibex
#

Cuz I never seen that play out

boreal quartz
#

Way better than the BSL stuff

quaint otter
zinc wolf
#

Tbh wow players are capable hating anything good or anything bad

#

So it doesnt matter what devs do sometimes

quaint otter
#

having no alternative in m+ sucks

frosty lava
#

if their plans for pacing on the dinar tokens are well thought out and isn't rushed/delayed, I think m+ players will be much happier

quaint otter
boreal quartz
quasi torrent
#

why was our best trinket

#

a generic trinket

silk spade
#

600k for cbt

quasi torrent
#

and casters (once again) got a turbo op trinket

(or pull, 2nd cds, last cds)

boreal quartz
#

Tbf it's not hard to use

#

But at least it has bad people punished

#

Just like transmitter

quasi torrent
#

when it was all 2min trinkets

frosty lava
#

true

#

haha

quasi torrent
#

we wouldve been even more cooked

frosty lava
#

yea

steep osprey
#

should have introduced a dungeon 1.5m trinket

#

cursed

silk spade
#

i hope they shoot the delve trinket in the head

#

cba farming delves

quasi torrent
#

and then having none in s2

#

is good

#

wdym

steep osprey

lmfao

frosty lava
#

fuck the anti borrowed power gang, I want an expansion long trinket with a cap on how powerful it can get that's tied to our class/specs next xpac to replace hero trees

daring heron
#

ohhh is that why my ptr ping is even higher

quasi torrent
#

yday i could fix it with vpning to us west

#

down to 150

#

but now im just cooked

frosty lava
#

need some sort of client side PTR option that puts your character in a single player area with a local server for good ping when testing damage

#

probs unrealistic as fuck if I knew the reason why it's restricted but

#

I can cope

void bay
#

do you live somewhere without local servers?

#

oh PTR

frosty lava
#

Im OCE but PTR is just US isnt it

void bay
#

my bad

#

yeah I think so

quasi torrent
steep osprey
#

The most cursed trinket is the one from shriekwing

#

not even close

frosty lava
#

na that one was funny as fuck

silk spade
#

that trinket was ass

frosty lava
#

especially before the pvp nerf on it

#

watching rogues just stomp people

steep osprey
#

i want a trinket that works like denathrius' massacre ability

#

that'd be cool

silk spade
#

shriekwing goated boss

#

probably my favourite first boss

#

sivara close second i think

frosty lava
#

na man favourite boss has to be sludgefist in a raid comp with max 4 melee

steep osprey
#

Sludgefist warrir damage

frosty lava
#

stop

steep osprey
#

imagine sludgefist with legion BC

silk spade
frosty lava
#

fuck the rules

#

still my favourite boss

silk spade
#

fair

steep osprey
#

what's the worst first boss and why is it the one in BoD @silk spade

silk spade
#

i didnt play that tier

#

i played like the last 2 weeks

steep osprey
#

it was a fucking trash boss

#

like literally adds

#

so easy

silk spade
#

and i remember people were pugging it on mythic killing it in like 30 seconds or some shit

steep osprey
#

yeah

#

that's exactly what happened

silk spade
#

lmao

steep osprey
#

it was so easy you'd think it was a trash pull before a boss

frosty lava
#

Torrague was pretty lit, shame we couldn't choose each power like a risk of rain 2 kind of menu

steep osprey
#

I liked Torrague actually

#

the powers were cool

frosty lava
#

shit like that should be done on every 1st boss

steep osprey
#

-100% dps from shit power rng tho

frosty lava
#

really goofy stuff that doesn't work on serious bosses

silk spade
#

first boss on the new raid looks kinda cool

steep osprey
#

I don't even know what the bosses look like in new raid

#

need to study

frosty lava
#

like imagine next raids first boss was like a giga RNG boss with slot machines (3rd last boss on roids)

steep osprey
#

i saw there was a literal gamble machine boss

#

lol

#

that was funny

frosty lava
#

where each fight has random ability orders and completely random combos each time

boreal quartz
#

Or mythic vigilant

#

Padlordx

#

Anything below M vigi is the Worst

silk spade
#

i fucking hate shadowlands

frosty lava
#

vigilant was really good for fury's profile

steep osprey

so true

frosty lava
#

could've been way more

silk spade
median scroll
#

liquid / echo will figure out best combination and the boss will never be played differently

steep osprey
#

undermined looks like the most exciting raid in a long time

#

don't @ me

frosty lava
#

bosses are ok ig, theme is s tier

silk spade
frosty lava
#

but things could change last second and some bosses could be cool as fuck

#

like halondrus type shit

steep osprey
#

fuck halondrus

median scroll
frosty lava
#

halondrus before bomb duration was nerfed from 8 sec to 30 sec was peak

boreal quartz
frosty lava
#

actually no

We are both nerfed and not nerfed

How are we doing on PTR and stuff?

Terrible. Need a massive buff or we wont get into any raids.

lunar remnant
# mighty lance How are we doing on PTR and stuff?

Both specs are pumping from what Iโ€™ve heard and personally tested fury on PTR, can say if buffs stand we will be in a good spot. Still lack utility though. So how desirable we are in keys is yet to be determined.

wheat lagoon
quaint otter
#

Yeah utility is what we need..

#

๐Ÿ™

lunar remnant
#

Raids idk I havenโ€™t tested

#

Plus I was a fury 1 trick last season so canโ€™t really comment much on arms

wheat lagoon
#

Seeing that Fury lost its burst. Arms may be better than Fury in raid too

shadow ibex
#

It's always fight design

mint shell
#

M+ wise, does slayer bayblade still remain viable or did the sudden death changes fuck it into the ground and i gotta go colloss now?

#

in 11.1

eager sigil
#

both work

#

colo will be better probably

#

but that doesnt matter until you get to title keys

mint shell

ok tnx

bladestorm ye, reap the storm tho is uncapped aoe

#

i ran quite high ST/prio dmg + EB to spam cleave for the uncapped aoe, worked out in the overalls, especially if there were some MDI pulls

reap is not uncapped

Blizzard ainโ€™t letting this slide war too good

more people will play arms if it's good

then they will realize it plays like shit

maybe shines some light on it and they change the spec

Someone make that pot of greed meme

But it's cleave

I cast cleave with enduring blow and seismic reverb which allows me to cast two more cleaves

Which allows me to cast one more cleave

dry kestrel
#

hey does demolish work with sweeping strike?

serene hollow
#

the first 2 hits do, the final hit is aoe and does not

#

If I understand the interaction correctly

dry kestrel
#

ah i see thnx

hollow plover
#

whats the current longest time we should hold bladestorm atm for colossus smash vs colossus smash and avatar?

#

do we have a table for it somewhere?

lean geode
#

For 11.0 or 11.1

hollow plover
#

live servers

tacit crystal
#

like maybe 5 seconds?

#

10 for ava

#

idk number for cs

hollow plover
#

ive been re-learning arms while boosting heroic runs

#

and the spec feels so shit

#

i need to know when to send bs

#

when to hold

#

i have like no muscle memory for arms atp

tacit crystal
#

i think as long as its not more than 10 for ava

#

you are fine

#

parsing as arms is just having 7-9 stacks of jug in execute

hollow plover
#

I also saw that arms aoe rotation is and opener is a bit goofy

#

time to learn

lean geode
hollow plover
#

I also feel like there's probably a lot of logic to the priority system of arms that i didnt get yet

tacit crystal
#

in what sense

hollow plover
#

like idk yet how important natty mortal strikes are with no buffs

olive nest
#

6 modifiers go brrr

hollow plover
#

i know its a priority system type shit

#

but the logic of it isnt ingrained into my brain yet

#

ykwim?

olive nest
#

Yes

tacit crystal
#

not really no

olive nest
#

Ms on cd is like 90% of the way there

tacit crystal
#

you just send ms on cd until execute

#

then 2 ep 2 lb

hollow plover
#

Im also the type of player that doesn't learn from being shown a priority

#

i need to understand the logic behind it

#

why something deals more dmg

#

Let's say bladestorm's back up, colossus smash in 2 sec and MS is up at the same time as collosus smash

#

im not entirely sure if i should cs>bs or cs>ms>bs

#

type shii

strange perch
#

I

#

Am losing my mind

hollow plover
#

or lets say rend falls off during bladestorm, do i rend or ms right after bs ends

#

this type of stuff

hollow plover
strange perch
tacit crystal
#

sounds like you need to hit the dummy and see what does more damage

hollow plover
#

due to modifiers

#

my guy

tacit crystal
#

?

#

hit the dummy try things

hollow plover
#

I have been

strange perch
#

Its like minor diffeeences you just listed doesnt matter frfr

tacit crystal
#

oh doing this made me do more damage over time

strange perch
#

Diffeeeeeeences

hollow plover
strange perch
#

Doesnt matter

tacit crystal
#

hes right though

#

as long as you press ms on cd

#

you will win

hollow plover
#

but sims dont give me enough visual feedback

#

to learn

#

type shii

tacit crystal
#

sure but the only eeason for you to hit the dummy specifically is to see what to press at certain points since according to you being shown a priority list doesnt work

hollow plover
#

thats the issue

tacit crystal
#

so hit rhe dummy

hollow plover
#

hitting the dummy also does not give me a full understand

strange perch
#

I am unsure of what the issue to be completely honest

hollow plover
#

yes duh ms hits hard who woulda thought

strange perch
#

Like what is the problem you are having

tacit crystal
strange perch
#

Just the ms cs bs scenario and the rend stuff?

tacit crystal
#

and trying again and again on the dummy

hollow plover
#

Arms, i feel, is such a dogshit spec that situations like this occur so often where you have to decide between 3 buttons to press and trying to understand which one is more useful at every point is what im getting at. I don't learn from being told "this is better", i learn from being explained why something is better

#

and its not "this hits harder"

#

theres too many modifiers

#

for that to always be the answer

olive nest
#

Well thatโ€™s sort of the point of the priority right

hollow plover
#

for example

olive nest
#

The priority teaches what button is most important to press even if you have 3 at the same time

hollow plover
#

I understood why execute at 3mfe's or 2 sd procs is good

#

Thats why i know when to press execute

#

if i didnt know

olive nest
#

The logic of the priority is to achieve the highest amount of damage at the end of a specific duration
Typically a 5 minute single target simulation

hollow plover
#

but i was shown

#

use execute at these conditions

#

then id remember half the time

tacit crystal
#

then play more

strange perch
#

Well for your 2 scenarios atleast you want to cs>bs if you will get another bs during the encounter if not do the ms first and for the rend thing you dont want to bs in the first place if your rend is going to run out exceot if the boss is like on 2%hp

olive nest
#

Thereโ€™s nothing else to understand is the point.

hollow plover
#

a priority in aoe is

#

bloodthirst > raging blow

#

if u show me this

#

without explaining why

#

then i wouldnt learn it as well

#

as being shown why

#

in this case, reap

#

bloodthirst > raging blow in aoe because of reap the storm

olive nest
#

Yes you would, because the logic of the priority system is to achieve the most amount of damage

#

So in scenario: aoe, bloodthirst > raging blow gives the most amount of damage

hollow plover
#

yea

#

if u show me this

#

I wouldnt learn it as easily

#

as when you show me

#

bt > rb does more in aoe, on average, due to reap procs

#

with the logic attached

#

the explanation attached, i mean

tacit crystal
#

then ready every talent point until you understand why to press a button

olive nest
#

I was about to add that, if you want to understand why the priority is the way it is you would have to understand how each talent interacts with each ability

hollow plover
olive nest
#

Fortunately there are people who dedicate tons of their personal time to figure out the optimal priority for us through apl maintenance and tons of simulations

#

So you donโ€™t have to read every single talent and understand there interactions

idle heart
#

you press 1 then press 2 and sometimes press 3

hollow plover
#

But yeah regardless

#

im tryna learn, is the entire point

#

not just the list

tacit crystal
#

i mean you cant have both

hollow plover
#

but the logic

tacit crystal
#

without putting in effort

hollow plover
tacit crystal
#

specs arent hard to learn?

olive nest
#

So youโ€™re trying to understand how they create an APL in a sense?

#

How each talent interacts with each ability to understand why you press X at Y scenario

hollow plover
#

yes, but i dont plan on checking each interactions numbers, its enough when someones already but in the work

#

so like

tacit crystal
#

so like

#

read every talent point then

hollow plover
#

gio pls

#

listen

#

the apl

#

the github apl

#

shows the priority

#

and talents

#

show the numbers

#

without including the priority

shadow ibex
#

Because the dpr is better

hollow plover
#

i need something in between for optimal learning

shadow ibex
#

The damage per resource spent is better when you do this

#

That's arms there ya go

tacit crystal
#

only thing in between is having someone watch you play and hit the dummy

#

telling what to press and why

#

or watch someone play and think of their next global

#

i was watching my friend play wl

#

guessed like 95% of his casts before

olive nest
#

I think he wants to understand why each ability is in the position it is on the priority list. The only way to know that is to literally read every talent to learn how each one interacts with each ability and then create a simulation to test your โ€œtheoryโ€ of what you think is best

tacit crystal
#

which is what i said to do ๐Ÿ™‚

olive nest
#

Thatโ€™s the entire point of โ€œtheorycraftersโ€ they figured this out for us

hollow plover
#

the thing is

#

just reading every talent isnt enough information

#

to figure everything out

dire hinge
#

just push buttons gladge

tacit crystal
#

^

olive nest
#

Yes it actually is, that is the starting point for understanding the theorized APL

tacit crystal
#

i learned destro in 10 minutes read wowhead for 5 and streamed me hitting dummy to friend

#

idk

#

just play game

#

press button

#

win

shadow ibex
#

I feel like talents makes it self explanatory. Why do I use op over ms when I have oppor

dire hinge
#

do whatever works for your own brain, but don't prescribe that method to others (everyone learns differently)

shadow ibex
#

We also only have 3 buttons at any given moment. Ms op and cleave/slam/exe depending on target health and count

#

There isn't much of a reason needed to say why you use MS in aoe. Cleave is on cooldown

olive nest
#

Why do you press cleave when op and ms are available in an aoe situation,
Simple cleave will net the most damage in that global. Why will cleave net the most damage in that global, read and understand talents that modify each ability separately and use math (simulations) to determine this outcome

#

I feel like this guys supposed form of โ€œlearning a specializationโ€ is a bit exaggerated

tacit crystal
#

i think it sounds like 0 effort

hollow plover
#

I already have a basic understanding

tacit crystal
#

idk

hollow plover
#

from putting in basic effort

#

my thing is that i really want to learn the specifics

shadow ibex
#

The apl is the specifics

finite mantle
#

I specifically said so

tacit crystal
shadow ibex
#

It even says cast OP over MS while under 2 charges of martial prowess and opportunist buff

olive nest
#

Again if you want to know why X button is the best option in Y scenario you have to understand how each talent interacts with each ability with the goal being most damage dealt

olive nest
#

And again, fortunately people dedicate time to figure this out for us

shadow ibex
finite mantle
#

I was trying to find the like a baby dolph splash gif but couldnโ€™t

hollow plover
#

the shit im trying to learn also are scenarios like one individual mob is left, you can either execute or ms, you have one stack of the execute modifier, which spell do u go for?

#

and yes i am testing and putting in the effort

#

i just know people already tested it

#

at some point

#

its easier to ask for specifics sometimes

olive nest
#

Does the priority list explicitly state to only MS a single target if you have two stacks of the execute modifier?

hollow plover
#

Nah ofc not

#

its just a random example i thought up

olive nest
#

Does it tell you to mortal strike a single target before execute if both are available regardless of modifiers?

tacit crystal
#

no

#

it says

#

execute unless 2 ep 2 lb

olive nest
#

And there you go we fall back to the priority list

hollow plover
#

yea but execute is possibly only better because it generates modifiers, not because it potentially hits harder in a vacuum

tacit crystal
#

no?

dire hinge
#

gladge but you're not in a vacuum

#

this isn't physics

olive nest
#

No it isnโ€™t possibly better because itโ€™s already been figured out that MS would do the most in that scenario

#

That is the entire point of the priority

tacit crystal
#

im willing to record myself hitting the dummy for 1 hour

#

and answer every question

hollow plover
tacit crystal
#

yeah

thick kelp
tacit crystal
#

exactly

hollow plover
#

the apl does probably

#

i mean it must have it

tacit crystal
#

the answer is

#

you dont press it unless you have both conditions

#

BECAUSE IT SUCKS

tacit crystal
thick kelp
olive nest
#

Well yes it does, it says to only MS if you have two stacks of EP and two stacks of the tier set if you do not meet those conditions you keep executing

thick kelp
#

Here is the only mention of MS without modifiers in execute phase

#

๐Ÿ‘

#

Here is the other mention of MS

hollow plover
#

and my autistic ass

#

for example

#

wants to test

#

execute vs ms

#

no modifiers

tacit crystal
#

then hit the dummy

hollow plover
#

last gcd

tacit crystal
#

??????

mint shell
#

OP is higher prio because it generates modifiers and also you can waste it after procing it with any rage spending abiltiy

Execute is your highest baseline skill, especially when you're rolling jugger stacks, so it's allways a better global untill all modifiers on MS align when MS is a better global, both in dmg, and in not wasting the 2x 2x modifiers

hollow plover

walhe would you watch me hit the dummy for 1 hour

#

its urgent

tacit crystal
#

wtf bro

hollow plover
#

Idk yall keep yapping as if im tryna complain or something similar, all i said was that I want to learn and understand

dire hinge
#

there's a lot of pressure to do things "right", but yeah you can play the game however you want to. If you're looking for a truthful answer backed by math, it's in the APL.

olive nest
#

I thought I was trying to rationalize your logic fairly well

#

Not โ€œyappingโ€

dire hinge
#

nobody can tell you how to play your $12-15 USD/mo ๐Ÿ‘ Do whatever you want imho

hollow plover
#

does the APL include scenarios like enemies dying before starting new combat and similar unique scenarios that basically no one cares about?

tacit crystal
#

no

#

only playing or reading apl

olive nest
#

Well thatโ€™s where you would apply โ€œlearned logicโ€ would it be optimal to follow the priority, yes! Could I do more damage now by sending my highest hitting ability before the last mob dies, maybe? Thatโ€™s using your best judgment based off your understanding of the priority and the unique scenario

strange perch

i play pokemon go everyday

josrgnnjiosu9sd

fuck man

#

i am so pissed off

hollow plover
#

The priority list itself doesn't include scenarios where mobs die

#

unless you check the apl

tacit crystal
#

so just do the rotation?

hollow plover

thats why i said its something i have to figure out

Hey guys, question. My raidleader wants to know, how much of a % dps boost the 2set and 4set is giving me. Any1 got any idea how I can find that out?

glad stance bannerman yep

(I did not play during the time where either glad stance or necro banner were a thing)

steep osprey

Warrior needs a spec like poe1 slam attacks

arms could be that I guess

Demolish is NOTHING compared to poe2 mace skills

NOTHING

#

holy shit was that bad

lean geode
#

Idk why I thought league starting with titan slams in poe2 was gonna be a good idea

#

I was in actual hell

steep osprey
#

i mean titan would have been very fun if it was like poe1

#

but they made everything so damn slow

#

with stuff like using boneshatter on prestun

#

so it actually fucking works

#

like what is this

#

where's my simple sunder spam

#

earthquake taking 3 seconds to pop

lean geode
#

I remember seeing a sunder build on like day 2 or 3 that was actually pretty decent

#

Slow as piss ofc because of the cast time

#

THAT was demolish tbh

#

But it was based around like multiple aftershocks to proc stun and armor break and shit

steep osprey
#

the diff between poe 1 and 2 "mace skills" is like light years

#

poe 2 mace skills titan is playing poe 2

#

while everyone is playing poe 1

are you playing this new league?

the poe league? no, it's weird. after playing poe 2 i do not want to play poe 1 anymore

steep osprey

what erally

#

i actually want to play poe1 after playing poe 2lol

rare kite
#

i hate crafting xD, socket system and flasks in poe 1

steep osprey
#

that's fair

#

but the endgame is trash in poe 2 imo

rare kite
#

i agree

distant jewel
#

Is arms going to be the spec to play season 2 for mythic plus? New to the game and want to practice now if it is lol

halcyon breach
#

Prepare both if you care enough

steep osprey
#

^

halcyon breach
#

You can easily play one of the two specs that you enjoy the most, unless you play really high end or deeply care about playing the most optimal on a per scenario basis

lean geode
#

It never hurts to be more prepared

#

There's a very good chance arms/fury/both get nerfed before raid launch

#

So being flexible (and having gear ready as well) is strictly beneficial

Mythic gaming surely

lean geode
#

What can I say I'm a rogue god

#

Definitely not just blindly following hekili

#

Do the BM sims still say 2.3 btw

#

Bc that mf is surely at like 3.5 in reality

steep osprey

I'm pretty sure blizzard knows that BM tier set is overperforming

(30% dps)

anyone got a oppo wa

lean geode
#

Fury was about to be like 50% and some insanely degenerate gameplay but they pulled the plug on that one

steep osprey
#

yeah but that has been the case for tier sets before

steep osprey
#

I remember

lean geode
lean geode
boreal igloo
#

should i even be tracking anything else?

lean geode
#

EP and MP/LB

#

MFE stacks

#

Juggernaut and SD duration

boreal igloo
fading aspen
#

i noticed the wowhead guide shows to take fierce followthrough over overpower, is that an error or more just preference?

lean geode
#

FF is generally better with more gear

#

Opp better with bad gear

#

Sim diff

teal fossil
#

One simโ€™s better for some

fading aspen
#

ahh

lean geode
#

FF is a lot easier to play though

fading aspen
#

makes sense more crit means better ff uptime

lean geode
#

So for most people it's either theoretically better, practically better, or both

rare kite
#

don't worry next patch everyone is gonna take opp. no contest @fading aspen

lean geode
#

And the difference is like less than 1% either way

minor gust
#

That's only if we don't get nerfed and all the form rerollers leave to go play BM

rare kite
#

tbf they prob go to bm anyway, assuming it's somewhat close to arms

shadow ibex
#

Yea idk why yall worried

olive nest
#

Exactly that

shadow ibex
#

Gonna be 39 arms parses

olive nest
#

The details heroโ€™s re roll to BM way before arms

shadow ibex
#

I member day one of last season had 12 arms parses?

#

12 slayer and like 3 col

slow saddle
#

If fury doesnt get nerfed

#

Im alsp happy tbh

#

Just give us 1 a + spec this season

minor gust
slow saddle
#

Thane is on avg in pugs way better than arms col or slayer

shadow ibex
#

fury has more parses

#

its just not a popular spec at all

minor gust
#

Mhmmm

shadow ibex
#

10% of the arms players right there ^

minor gust
#

It's crazy too because warrior is a popular class

shadow ibex
#

i thought it was one of the least

minor gust
#

Everyone is fury so you would think we would get more attention

#

But here fury hasn't had real capstone talents since conception.

#

They were a lil better in DF but in TWW it's a fucking mess for fury

thick kelp
#

Fury aint getting more attention cuz its gameplay loop is too good for the audience who plays it

minor gust
#

Ik but like the fury talent situation is also pretty fucking bad just like arms

shadow ibex
#

yea

#

storm of steel or w/e

#

onslaught

minor gust
#

They just got perfect gameplay

shadow ibex
#

odyns does like 8 dmg

last inlet
#

that can be said for almost every class? because if you think this is bad.....

minor gust
#

Every class and spec has problems that's true

shadow ibex
rare kite
lean geode
shadow ibex
#

i dont think ANYONE has anything like that

last inlet
shadow ibex
#

and yes we're the only class yet to receive a rework

rare kite
#

fury could take 3 more capstones, but they are shit

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

this is damage per execution time

last inlet
#

yeah, nothing up ended and just splattered on the wall tho.

shadow ibex
#

aka damage per cast

#

one of those is a 90 second cooldown
