im a bit of a arms fan myself getting sent into this jail next season but this is a good jail
a very enjoyable jail
Hello, for those who have tried / simmed. Is there a slayer arms build for m+ that competes with fury for a st oriented / prio damage build? I'm afraid arms loses too much aoe in order to do this
think theres a jugg slayer build
for current or live
Next patch
i mean there is a build, it's not very good tho. slayer aoe so small compared to colossus
just play fury if you want to fill that niche
colussy
I had hope
I think Ret is closer to Fury tbh
aside from the obvious aesthetic difference of dw
Wake is basically Odyn's Fury, TV is essentially Rampage, etc etc
Fury always felt like outlaw rogue (older versions) played like a ret paladin for me
Just popping in real quick to check if you guys think arms is a solid melee to push title with for season 2? Mostly pugging i’d say
Most prospected tierlists put it pretty high, not sure if that includes the top of the ladder
this is like the most optimal for ptr keys ya?
having SD for more ST? i prefer more ST in keys for prio dam
swap dreadnaught for strength of arms
more st
Might be better options than SD for st. Free occasional execute is gonna tickle because we don't have jug
got it ty
I would not take SD on ptr as colossus
swap SD for Finishing Blows
no
bet
unless u are willing to suffer
DN vs SoA is kind of preference, slightly more MT vs slightly more ST
Though I think the rotation is smoother with DN, since it makes more sense to me to prio OP a little higher
wouldnt having finishing blows like wayyy overcap rage more than we already do? lol
Finishing blows saves you in execute
arms will do good damage wise but nothing special and pugging as dps is cancer
especially as a warrior
very true
you also arent overcapping
bet i like more ST in keys im ethical prio dam ❤️
nahh, you're gonna be rage starved in execute without it when not running critical thinking
true
it's mostly to fuel EP, since it only triggers <35%
if you want more rage all the time, you can make Bloodsurge work, it's just not as good
or take SkS for rage on demand I guess
nah i prefer more ST in keys i hate the new SkS i prefer it back in DF s2
rage gonna make your execute not feel like shit fr
it starves like fuck as it is, you think 8 rage isn't much but you do use overpower quite a bit and when it does reset through bl stack even more rage on top aswell. does really help flow the spec a bit
i have created and Atrocity inspired weak aura for Arms for 11.1 if you want give some thoughts and improvements Thnks
https://wago.io/NUtHLTKBO
Love DN man, having passive aoe is so nice esp with sweep
hey guys, do we consume oppurtunist over MS single Target ?
Yes
Well outside of execute range yes
In execute range things get a little different
because ? 😄
EOO
I'm not at my computer rn but check the wowhead guide, it goes more in depth on the differences
since overpower generates rage under 35% hp and rage also means harder hitting executes using procs of opportunist while your not rage capping means future executes will consume closer to the max rage available and help cause you to not rage starve
Yeah if you want to, both are perfectly fine
patch is in 2 days btw
long wait
In general, (colossus) arms has good aoe damage every pull with demolish, but comparatively weaker prio and boss dam than fury
The difference isn't huge either way though
People do high keys with both
more nerfs tomorrow
🙏 please
Which warrior dps spec is seemingly more smooth going into season 2? Looking to make warrior my alt.
hmmm... that's a tough question, since there's a lot of personal preference involved
Both are fairly straightforward, but I would generally say Fury, just because it has less jank and less weird conditions (less emphasis on gaming Juggernaut, Sweeping Strikes conditionals, etc). It also has better "one button AoE burst" for questing/dungeons/etc
more smooth is subjective, most people think fury is more fun and feels "smoother"
Easy sell, 2 2 handers is a positive as well 🤷♂️
@smoky kayak if I start deep diving into guides the next few days is that rotation how its going to look into season 2?
Or do I need to wait until Tuesday to see updated guide.
they're kinda halfway there, just wait for Tuesday for the specifics
All good I can do that no problem
but other than Fury's Reckless Abandon change, the rotations aren't dramatically different
Yeah arms especially back in the day used to be very slow and methodical. It’s def been sped up which I think is great. But fury just always has had a much higher APM, and a pretty good loop. Like arch said gaming jugg is sometimes annoying where fury can just vibe.
But once you get arms and the quirks down I think one of the most rewarding specs in the game is
practicing arms and gotta say, the misalignment of cooldowns is really annoying
When do you have to game jugg? Is that a mythic+ thing?
Hey, Im planning of playing arms next season, any recomendations for the embellishment, is safe to craft the best one for this season or are they changing?
2 2 handers is not a positive
that just means each weapon gives you less dps
early in the season having 1 weaker offhand is pretty detrimental to performance
delaying sudden death as late as possible for jugg uptime
so you roll into execute with as many jug stacks as possible
Ooh gotcha is that significant dmg increase?
Yes unfortunately
Damn.
Only a raid thing tho
Yeah I’m raiding as arms s2
So just grab a SD wa and send towards the end
Do you eat sudden death procs ever?
Yes, you can just get an sd weakaura tho. If it makes sound you press
Hell yeah I’m good at that tyty
yeah that optimization is quite annoying
Is colossus looking better for raid next season? Or we still waiting for tuning.
Thanks!
Its still going to be a geared alt, I'm fine with that
How so?
im just saying that it takes exactly 1 more weapon to get stronger as fury than arms
which can be hard first couple weeks in
explains why the stacking debuff weapon cant be good
fury walking around with BiS + forever dot weap
Guys the Bis embellishment. for season 2 is going to change or is it safe to craft the curent one?
Just wait til Tuesday
playing arms now in solo shuffle and i am feeling a bit annoyed with it. especial at the start when you got to get your all you dots and bleeds and damage stacks and sweeping strikes AND THEN you can start lining up a kill sequence
which is a couple EXE and a MS before your out of rage
guess im saying theres a lot of gcds to get through before it feels like your playing
Arms will want double Dawnthread, though crafting a weapon might be a viable progression tactic depending on how rare/contested Best-in-Slots is
as usual, you probably don't want to craft anything asap anyway though, which gives some extra time to make that determination
I looked at a few specs and sadly best in slot is infact best in slot for a lot of classes
I know the answer is sim yourself, but for colo are things changing stat wise? Mastery gained more and more value, with all the tuning are the stats changing? (I know it's only guidelines)
Colossus did want more crit than Thane, thats how it was on live server atleast. Dunno how it will be after the patch.
Not particularly; haste/crit are still the “main” Arms stats, while the real reason you’re pushing more into Mastery is because of gear inflation, and that trend will continue in the new season
Thanks for the answer. Is crit or haste personal pref or is one better for m+ one better for raid?
its not as bad as other specs
tc war breaker ava tr bs, ss after bs then youre good to go
I played colossus arms for the first time ever today on the cds never syncing is certainly interesting
but isnt that supposed to be like that as slayer aswell for the most part? i know they sync up to avatar eventually but other then that not rly no?
Critical Bug Alert! The current test server has a game-breaking glitch where the "Sweep" skill duration extends up to 10 minutes. This likely enables players to abuse indirect damage stacking mechanics.
do explain how to do it 
It turns out that a player in the test server exploited this game-breaking bug, pushing the damage of Cleave to an absurd 68 million.
right, picked up on that part
feel free to report it via the in-game bug system, unless you're able to provide further insights about it
The precise mechanics are still a mystery, but it appears to exploit Avatar's cooldown reset to repeatedly stack Sweeping Strikes. This allows for an absurd accumulation of indirect damage layers, ultimately enabling a catastrophic Cleave with insane damage output.
such colorful sentences 
That sounds like an absolutely thrilling experience!
quite
However, this bug should only be achievable in the test server.
wdym by avatar cooldown reset?
So 10+ mages in raid constantly resetting boss to clear my avatar CD will not br the case?
Eee, you are right :-X
This is just my guess—the screenshot was shared with me by another player.
There is 0 chance i get my raid team to reset boss a million times to get sweep uptime
I really can't tell if arms will be title achievable
1
all classes seem pretty strong this time around especially with the aug nerf
you can get title on arms
is arms decent for pugging? I've only rlly played prot
I'll see if i fuck with it
ofcourse it will
people have title on every class every season
i am pugging mostly though, so it's more about getting invites etc
im confident i could make anything work good enough, but invites can be a bit rough sometimes
mostly pugging is really rough for title anyway
yeah i should find a team
if you wanna pug you probably want to reroll to whatever is best after a few weeks
Arms is best
yep, and if you want to keep playing prot, it's better for gearing since you can keep most of arms pieces as a tank, unlike with Fury where you want all the mastery and haste bananza
Anyone know where I can find BiS theorycraft or final* BiS lists for season 2?
the sim sheet has the best performing setups, outside specific items from M+ in vault
Ah I was hoping to figure out the M+ BiS beforehand
M+ BIS as in items only from M+ or what the best stup is in M+
sheet™️
simeet
thats a better way to phrase that whan i tried for clarification

yes?
there are easier methods of torture
For example pugging weeklies
doing keys
anyone has a m+ talent build for ptr ? one from wowhead doesnt not work

What classes get the most from our buff?
All Agility and Strength specs gain 5% Attack Power
yeah but wasnt s2 suppsoed to favor mroe range heavy comps
@dull siren tommy mate
Raid or M+?
m+
I am clueless, does that mean 5% overall damage or less
Shit will get buffed and nerfed first 5 weeks and we won't know comps until the dust settles
vro looking delicious
Afaik it's just 5% damage, not sure tho
ty
hi! whats the meta spec for 11.1?
Not warrior
Sus
Not Aug🙏

Any explanation on why BL build is favored over bleed for m+? More burst? Wouldn't bleed build be more consistent between keys
I liked playing it more

Fair enough
bleeds basiaclly do no dam
the sim links dont show the talent build
whats the dif between them anyway
click html

okee i see it
The diff is blord or 1 point in bb
In st with blord m+ build, slam replace cleave ?
ya
Someone didn't watch madox'guide..
that madox guy sucks
so true
Just like s1 talents do be cosmetics I see
yes
noob!!
If only, I'd love to go back to sleep.
Wage slave time.
For 11.1 what is stronger in RAID? Colossus or slayer?
slayer
Indeed, just want to nap.
Funny enough, I'm one of the very few I work with that doesn't drink coffee, or smoke, or drink alcohol, or even energy drinks.
Feels. Miss my bed.
crazy
i can't remember the last time i did something w/o coffee
But why not
Not sure, don't like the taste of coffee. Energy drinks are horrible, and never liked or wanted to smoke.
Man I’m otw to work right now I have to drive 2 hours there, then an hour from there to my next, then 3 hours back home
I’ve downed 1 Red Bull already today
hey guys, I can't connect to ptr server, does anyone know how to solve this problem?
just work from home
Did you create an account ? @frail sphinx
https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/211136
Give me a job
You must get good sleep? No caffeine of any sort?
No, I didn't know I had to create an additional account, thanks man
Long before I joined the military, I had a cooking job. The kitchen manager would go through a 6 pack of "Red Rain" in a shift. He ended up going to the doctor cause he started coughing blood. The knock off red bull was eating his stomach out.
its not additional account, its just to "link" your account with ptr
hi guys, i'm a returning player that raided HC raids back in MOP
Is there anyone here that can spare some time to answer me some questions, please? I'm trying to understand the gearing system and m+ system better
I guess? Now that I'm not at a field unit I have regular hours. Before that it was kinda crazy.
Oh and the reason i'm here it's because i'm going to roll an arms war
I knew a kid who drank so much monster, energy drink, etc he couldn’t drive straight, got pulled over for a DUI lol
Hollyyy
Lol, I've certainly worked with some folks that really shouldn't drink as many as they do.
It does say 1 per day.
I stopped energy drinks all together when I got into lifting towards the end of high school
They are so damn bad for you it’s insane
Yup, yet ppl drink em as if it was water.
Better to ask your questions than to ask if you can ask your questions. For the most part you want to focus on the highest item level strength gear, at least until you get past the initial gearing hump and into the “min/max” part
Upgrade stuff as you can, but don’t waste finite resources on stuff you’ll replace too quickly (the game mostly handles this for you though, you’re unlikely to get many high level crests without also getting gear to use them on)
Speaking of gearing did we find out if m0 with s2 gear is available tomorrow or is it when the raid comes out?
M0 is out on season start, not patch day
Hmm odd considering you can only do em once a week.
Only thing you’re doing tomorrow is questing and fixing your talent builds
They made m0 bosses always drop loot
Aint m0 opening?
Oh yeah I guess this week will be old delves too? Kinda lame
Lel
I don’t really care either way, but I do like having a low key “prep week”
Same
Exactly yup!
Before jumping into the grind, so to speak
It's nice to have a week of easier low impact gearing for people main swapping too
Not exactly sure, but if the new delves are active, they almost certainly won’t award higher item levels
So they couldda given that to us this week
My March break leave lines up with the start of the season. Guess I'll have a good jump on things.
people who were main swapping had the whole last few months to gear up! Lol
All 12s first week surely
The reason i asked like that was to see if someone was willing to DM me so i can ask away, to not polute the chat here
Very unlikely anyone wants to be your one-on-one private coach, but that’s what this chat is for
So ask away
Just make sure you take any and all advice with a healthy dose of salt.
There are plenty of trolls that may or will try to lead you astray
Pls my dk is 605 it needed m0
Eh, not really; there are trolls yes, there isn’t really a rash of people purposefully trying to misexplain the gearing system that I’ve ever seen lol
And most of the trolls are extremely obvious
go craft 629 gear with world content crests tomorrow
Yes
Can we even grind enough crests to do that tho?
Then again its meme alt. Just to play bdk
Okay ! How does arms feel to play nowadays? Back in mop day was managing your rage/procs/cds so that you can fit the most slams as possible on CS resets as possible
Does arms plays close to that nowadays? Meaning, a more slow and calculated way compard to fury?
Im surprised m0 isn't open it's not gonna be relevant opening on season day
No
Its slower. Due to less haste
Still. If you get one drop per kill. Insane catch up
No we are a spam highest Prio button on cd spec now
Like what. 30? drops a week from a full clear
Are professions still a thing? back in mop professions had bonusses that affected PvE, like eng with synapse springs and sockets with blacksmith. Is this still a thing?
With alot of ability resets
Bo
No
Only each a week. Gonna get a ton of duplicate slots
Aye still nuts tho even with dupes
Its way less work now
Odds you get half geared probs in your favour
0 good trinket
Engineering still gets rocket belt and alchemy gets double duration flask if specced into
What ilvl does m0 drop?
So there is no BiS professions for pve anymore? just utility?
Yup
Sadly yes
Fortunately yes
What about things like pre-pot? to drink a pot right before pull so that you can use two combat pots on a single fight? Does the game still have those "hidden" mechanics?
Nope
I’d like enchants and gems in every slot, reforging, and profession bonus
But I might just be goofy 🤪
i see so they streamlined a lot of things
Yup
Ye they did
Game is in a pretty good place
As a new player i would prob start a ret
Not a warrior
They made it so you can equip ilvl without much extra thought
what about gear? I'm having a hard time understanding this gear upgrade system. gear seems to have dozens of different sources now
i guess since you can sim yourself easily on retail this is a no issue
but still seems complicated
Pots just have a 5m cooldown now, so if the fight is long enough you can use two, but you don’t have to explicitly prepot anymore
The gear and crests tie into each other
Normal has gear and crests
Heroic has gear and crests
Etc
Delete this
^
Ret damage rotation is simpler, easier to play, but it also has a much higher emphasis on doing extra utility shit (spit healing, cleansing, bopping, etc), which nice to have, but a lot more involved than just blasting dam
Everywhere i look i see ppl saying ret is sweet, but there is so much of them that i just don't want to be another andy. plus i'm a warrior at heart
Just play warrior if you enjoy warrior
I would argue that only bad rets don’t focus on their utility, and there are already way too many bad rets
Ofc. But if u are a new player
In my mind, that’s the whole justification for them having a dummy easy rotation
Mop though
so i have the fundamentals of wow
If I were a new or returning player, I still think focusing on one thing at a time is a better way to learn than focusing on multiple
Make sure you get atleast 100 Weakauras, doesn’t matter witch ones but you need atleast 100 to play the game now
My thoughts was just very easy rotation. Then learn utility values
you are basically a new player if last time you played was in mop btw
Last question, i read about M+ and i understood what it is. However if i understood if right, you only need to to +10 on each DG to get the maximum reward of gear for that week, correct? meaning, anything past +10 is just for competitive sake, correct?
Yep, +10 is max rewards, sans a couple achievements
It’s really not that much different now.
Feels like the same old jazz to me.
Cool. I guess i'll focus on doing just +10 for the rewards and focus on raiding
It’s a mix, lots of system changes since mop, but fundamentals of gameplay aren’t too different
Get loot, farm orange heroic 🪵, apply to mythic guild, W
i feel the same way, even thought the game changed a lot, some core concepts are still the same
@covert drift You only need essential weakauras and a DPS addon. I got CE with only MRT note, a Weakaura package for raid, details, etc.
it's different from a brand new player that don't even know what a rotation is
Yea, you’ll do great! Good to have ya back
yeah i looked around and i saw quazii UI, seems pretty clean and good
Quazii is by far the best free one in my opinion
Fights have been overall pretty good, but WoW and M raiding especially have leaned further and further into mechanical complexity and group coordination. 100-300 pull bosses at the top end are not uncommon
Naowhui and atrocityui are the best paid ones
Yea, I’d agree
yeah, i've havent touched wow in years, but i saw some DF fights and even shadowlands fights
Halondrus for instance
looked insane
Real chads make their own UI 
But looked so much fun
I think we had 250 ish pulls on Queen
real chads take a good base ui like quazii and tweak to their needs
like i'll do lmao
It is fun, but takes a certain mindset to be willing to invest that much time and effort
The challenge itself i think it's great
the problem comes with the other gildmates that start to break
and blaming each other
lei shen HC was brutal
Arguably the best place to be is either the really high ranks, who get through prog faster via skill, or really low ranks, than in the middle
The middle is where all the shit throwing happens
I made my own UI back in Cata. That's only because things like Curseforge, and WoWup didn't exist. You kinda had to make your own.
Everybody thinks them as an individual is being held back by the rest
Anyone remember Power aura add on? Heh
Anyway thanks for your time guys
🫡
Real chads still use vanilla UI
It’s missing the 100 Weakauras
I dont need those flashy uis
How can you miss an important stop of you don't see an important stop? 
Hollyyy I need to use that!!
Ui is so important for.performance
If u gotta move eyes of mid. Bad shit happens
Classic havoc
Typical Ret.
The fact with my ui is that I would like to clean it and remove many icons but my monke brain needs to be reminded of the keybinds even though I’ve been playing them for like 10 years

you use hekili or something brother
Ssme
I also sometimes have to look at buttons
Deleting lethal blows wa tonight 
.
Season 4p should replace juggernaut
Endless exec on fyrakk was delicious
I’d rather bite my fingers off
hey ! in the next season, war dps will be good on raid ? or low-midd tier
both are good
very low spec! go ret
i don't want to go ret 😢
Start mid. Buffed to the top
Good/mid specs never get buffed, its better to start op and get nerfed
Only way to get 'buffed' as a mid spec is to get a rework
.2 for sure
next expansion
.7
We are op and fun to play atm tho @pseudo crow in all seriousness
every day, i wish they would add misshapen mirror(or whatever tf the spell reflect applies to closest ally thing was called) to the class tree
We almost had that for intervine in beta
Skull banner in mop too
man, i wish pvp balance would stop holding us back on utility
Funny i only remember mass Sr bein useful for one fight
Mass spell reflect would be so damn good
SL should have had 2 legendary slots, one for DPS and one for utility, missed opportunity
Party wide magic dr on 25 second cd
H Lei shen
and potential big damage
That wouldda been smart actuslly

Yes
put Mass SR in there
ye, give us utility
one of them
No more aoe cds
delete every button except mortal strike and reduce the cd to global cooldown
cause remember that the class tree was supposed to be for utility more than throughput
classic frost mage be like
Not warrior tree
Yes, bring back my baby.
We tried that in wod , it kinda sucked
ye, apparently not warrior tree
Yeah, they could put Mass SR in one side
yep
Guys quick question, i've read that arms be it slayer or colossus is not meta for higher m+ keys, however does that still apply to only +10 for the gear cap?
Mby not mass? But same as amz 1 random guy get is
Or at that level it does not matter
There isn’t a meta for easy keys
Doesnt matter at 10

Aight thanks
Bring this Juggernaut back
Disrupting shout should be a choice node for intimidating shout. The AoE should be base line, and we can have the choice node be interrupt or knock back.
Aoe interrupt prob 2 good
Nah it isn't with the amount of utility we have
I do not miss this system tbh
Give better rally! In m+
ye
Me neither, I'm just saying the utlity was much better
rally should be buffed by like 100% in parties
Ye
its dumb it isnt
Like darkness
Its still a 3m cd. So wouldnt even be op
ye
Imagine

false, its missing necrobanner and aftershock
and condemn
id like necrobanner
if we also get the lego too, would be cool
like, a node under it
thoughts
Instead of spear
Still better
I dont mind spear in gen. Just bad as arms
I'm maining warlock in MOP Classic
Only dont get why wb leads to ep
If spear was a 45sec cd
Spear is awful. It being target capped makes it almost useless.
neither would blizz
It would fit warrior more and tbh still be weak
Capped at 5?
i'm pretty sure it's soft capped
its soft capped ye
not hard capped
Its dmg in gen is shit anyways
true
this shits so funny. just fucking looking at someone to reduce their damage taken
Spear into big demo dream still lives
ye
Yes

Which i guess is ok
in pvp, spear is neat
If we ravage- spear demo
but no one cares about pvp
Make avatar give 10 demo stacks!!!
Yeah, which is still pointless. Anything that you really need that damage Amp on is immune to the CC. So you might as well take Roar. Prot is the only one that will make it work.
Oh and that one niche burn phase boss.
Balls

Even then I think Roar was better.
Like fr its so dumb on first pull
thank you for the 30% damage reduction
I appreciate it
just make spear a 30 yrd radius
Nah
like ashen hallow
Radius is find

Xd
Tbf new spear animation could be the wb 1

keeping an eye on the homies
Not weapons but spears falling from the sky lockin mobs
What are we, hunters now?
ye, like when do we use spears? when was the last str polearm in the game
give ret nothing
Give us execution thing
Sl had halberds
Iirc
Give me something thats not spear
Give them nothing, take nothing. Let Ret be the training wheels class and enjoy being made fun of.
They should just make Ret an Int class instead of str. Most of their shit is casted like wizards.
necro war banner? xD
No, we do not want to be a buff bot again.
necro banner but instead of buffing people based on proximity, it buffs all warriors in the raid
and banner buff stacks
Druids and mages screaming for banner for their combust or convoke shit.
ye buff bot is no fun
Buffs grps not range
We wanna be new shaman
Vigilance alone would make us so much better wtf
Honestly I just wish spear wasn't a dps cd
Make it another ursols
Not that I would spend a global throwing it out when adds need to die but I want the option 
Well, at this point our dps cool down buttons are just nothing burgers. Roar, spear, neither are great. Ravager and Blade storm are meh, mostly carried by unhinged, OF is trash now.
Roar still fucks in AOE just not ST so I wouldn't call it a nothing burger
Mass spell reflect, my dream
all our capstones are just dogwater. best row we have is 3rd from bottom. that row is chefs kiss
still tho i enjoy our CD's, regardless of them maybe being underpowered i like having dmg for every pull.
but i also played a boomie forever where you hit incarn and then didnt do dmg for 3 minutes lol
it's not chefs kiss, it's just must have because all of those are strong
lol whut? all the nodes are strong so thats bad?
make it make sense.
No meaningful choice
if you wanna complain about the point investment sure. but i mean come on bruh
are we talking about the warbreaker row
how is that chef's kiss? it's boring af cuz you have to take them all
brother idk man you must be spoiled playing a warrior lol
try playing a balance druid where you needed to take rake.
What's the difference between taking Rake and taking a passive stat you will never notice?
At least Rake is like sometimes used as 3/4 specs idk
? lmao. yeah lemme hit this 2,000 hit rake on a target as opposed to getting 6% dmg - you cant honestly tell me the 2 are equal
Specs are balanced with the points in mind. 6% damage in the tree or 6% damage buff outside of the game is the same thing and not something cool you gain
In my opinion the only cool choices in talent trees are utility and mobility points depending on fights and dungeon, almost everything else is just a robot running sims and me following the result
its like that because we all use sims. no matter what each class is cookie cutter and set before you even step foot in a dungeon/raid. i mean thats just a fundamental problem wow has had forever lol. the "meaningful" choice shit is just a lame take. when that person who wants the choice will still just go and look up "best xyz build"
welcome to the illusion of choice. every video game ever would like to say hello
You're arguing against your own point lmao, if they would make Rake baseline, add a 2% damage point there and nerf balance by 2% would you think the tree is insanely good?
my take was that the warrior tree is fine lmao.
they're both bad in different ways
- Druid talent tree sucks because it's practically all utility, which means the stuff you're talenting into isn't useful half the time, making it all feel like a pointless endeavor
- Warrior talent tree sucks because it's all damage and defense, which means any talents you don't take put you into a deficit. Want to take Berserker Shout to help your group break a fear? Too bad, you gotta give up 5% dam or healing to do it
Druid tree is also harder to make right than Warrior imo. 3 roles 4 specs is hard to make not ridiculous
perhaps, but tangential to the point
and i think thats my overall standing point is that taking a spell that you legitmately never use, as opposed to losing %dmg to gain a utility isn't a terrible trade.
more damage/defense in the talent tree sounds good until you realize it's all placebo - if they replaced Rake (or whatever) with +6% damage, you're not just getting an extra 6% damage... you're going to lose 6% from the baseline in expectation that you'll take that talent
I feel like every successful rework has involved more different kinds of mobility points. It's like the only thing that can genuinely be preference between players without trolling.
This is what's commonly referred to as "the illusion of choice" by the way
in an ideal world i think utility only competes with different utility
i will agree that the warrior tree does have some point restricitons other classes do not.
like I said, they're both just problematic in different ways
yea
Shaman are in a similar situation to Druid where 90% of their talents feel pointless cause it's all circumstantial utility they may or may not actually care to use from time to time
and don't get me wrong, utility effects are great to have and use... when you actually have a reason to use them, but you don't always and spending talent points on cleanse or whatever feels kinda pointless when you don't have anything to cleanse (just like Warriors being forced to talent through Shockwave on single target stun-immune bosses)
yeah and again apologies if it came off as aggressive wasnt meant to come off like that. im just coming from a point where its nice to actually have usable nodes even if just passive shit. id rather have dmg #s than button bloat on stuff that is as niche as niche can come.
Yeah, you're not wrong that the Druid tree has some obvious problems
again mb shouldnt have brought the other class shit in the war disc
and part of it is because of trying to juggle four specs in one tree
yea for sure
all g, outside perspective can be helpful at times
yeah, i am very much enjoying a little simpler style of gameplay lol, played warrior for a long time but got away from it during WoD so its been nice to comeback.
The honeymoon phase wears off
Fury is fine but once you start actually noticing how cursed arms is then you join us in suffering
haha it does for every class. im just moreso happy if arms blows i can go fury or vice versa. being a balance main, was rough because if it sucks you're kinda SoL
So after the first set of c/ds on col m+ it just never really lines up again fully for a while right?
Itd not even Balance
lmao ill remember this in 4 weeks and refer back haha
Arms is just meh Design
I'm looking forward to doing something new. Don't mind the general rotation but the use of cooldowns feels a little scuffed.
Not even meh just a hollow shell at what it's supposed to be
boomkin is simpler than arms tho
CDs will desync it's a warrior wide problem rn
rotation wise yeah but its everything with druid as a whole comparatively.
fair
and tbh im just tired of going into fkn bear form or licking the floor.
Hey guys whats our stat priority going into S2? Looking at the BiS gear list its heavy mastery but the stat prio says mastery is 2nd to last (Im assuming its just not updated yet)
Yeah, I'm assuming we just send shit when its available really? feels like it. Second set of c/ds you get warbreaker, demo into sweeping but no roar/ravager.
In that regard we are simpler 
no in between lol
Tho instead of bear you go def stance
trust the robot
and sim often
Just slightly better
we dont need to go into def stance we get 10% more hp
10% reduc dmg def sucks. but better than 95% reduc lol
Yes you're not holding unless something is about to come up
true. my hpal hated me on ansurek. but i was vibing having beacon haha
It's so weird lol, you do full c/ds. Then get warbreaker, demo, ss. Then Roar on its own. Then you get war,demo,ss,ravager lol. Just feels like bad design.
do we wait for 2 stacks before using cleave if we can overpower twice or just send cleave?
Send cleave on cd
is arms wrarior gonna be running bladestorm build in 11.1?
Only time you do that is for your collateral if it's still gonna be in cds
in ST I believe? not m+
appreciate your help btw
Usually your collateral will be lined up with avatar and demolish buff if you can squeeze in a 2 stack cleave before they fall it's worth. If not don't worry about it and just send
I haven't looked into raid much, how many bosses are we ST'ing?
Slayer for raid col for M+
Oh yeh I have it set up already, super simple. Just curious if most bosses are ST this time around.
Not really sure didn't do much raid testing but arms likes to play to it's strength and that's ST
So normally even if the fight has cleave like queen you stay full ST
makes sense :D man I'm kinda hyped for s2.
Max has confirmed there's atleast two bosses where the execute phase actually matters because dmg outside of it isn't as impactful so there's some arms juice this tier
what about the hunter execute
WHO
ive been trying to learn arms for the past few days and honestly it feels like a mess with a bunch of button bloat (could be wrong just very used to fury) , is this gonna change in s2 or will it feel the same?
spriest execute uhdk execute
we might be cooked
Arms will feel slightly better to play next tier. As far as button bloat if you don't like Skullsplitter you don't have to play it next tier.
Do we still use rend over TC in ST situations?
I still have a bad habit using thunderclap on CD over slam, but I’m smashing it into my monke brain
Rend is technically better in ST over TC but the dmg gain is super minimal if you want to save the keybind you can just use TC instead of rend
Gotcha, yea I’ll have to experiment. There “is” more button bloat. Especially since DF
I'm actually surprised that some of the builds aren't even using rend.
That M+ build last week, no Blood borne, no rend, no capstones on Roar.
I imagine it's because bleed damage is down bad. Cleave and demolish is majority of your aoe.
I'd rather have my buttons do big dam instead of tickling things. I need that rush of seeing big chunks of hp bars vanish.
I'd rather have a no bleed build either but our other talents aren't good enough to drop rend
There are many talents that have been just completely dead in the water all expac. Both Arms and Fury have a fair amount of talent nodes that suck. Some even being choice nodes.
Yup and something tells me they will survive into the next expansion aswell
Another expansion of spiteful and dance of death I can't wait
SPriest Execute come on
When they kill themselves with Shadow word death. 
Arms needs a rework bad. Probably not going to happen until midnight at this point
So fucking clunky

I believe current sim says no for slayer, maybe for colossus
No
cause the one thing collosus needs is more buttons
you can just literally buy normal gurthalak rn on cata
or at least it's very close for slayer so maybe/maybe not worth

lfr*
ye
its bis till normal and normals bis before hc
fury bis is titans grip 2x gurthalak
i did the same
imagine playing fury
yeah easy
just logged in to prepare for mop leveling
also cata fury is kinda fun...
I'm waiting for the 50% XP buff to return before I level for MOP
Cata fury is def fun but cata fury is trash
don't think there's gonna be one
there was in wotlk because leveling was slow but since cata revamp it's a lot faster
buy the mop pack
There always is one between patches and pre expansion patches
and get 85 boost
I don't know what the devs were thinking at that point
nomralizing fury rage gen
and not compensating for it
ICANT
cant wait for MoP classic and just have to do 44 dailies every day again
lmfao
I did Fireland's raid as Fury for the most part.
Dragon soul was a mix to.
I just saw stats for DS a few days ago
fury was down bad
but that could be because everyone is playing arms rn
Yea arms is nice for ds
anythin is miles aheas of fury
Arms was better in Dargon soul.
I played all three.
I can't wait for MOP warrior 
i think in mop fury is better but no clue
Didn't play warrior back then and everyone says they loved it and was just as good as legion
arms is really good at fights with big trash that lasts long
MoP was where everyone played their class and part of another. Lol
fury is aoe burst fights
arms is better in MoP once you get the cloak
but warrior in general is mid in mop
Hi, is it possible to get a data of all spells, damage talents etc for arms warrior?
i'll be playing warlock
All stats
but fury was always better but not by much. Once you get the cloak tho my lord arms feasts.
I don't know if that's true
but I know fury did better ST than arms
the only fight arms was actually good in SoO was Galakras
even then it's not that good because it was just add damage
siege is a trash raid anyway
Fury mop could be the best designed spec ever
that was the main issue of inner rage, hc costs too much
yeah finally makes ir usable spell 
Depending on who you ask
exactly lmfao
Inner rage is a shit hearthstone card
I think it's up there for fury iterations
Can we replace slam with cata heroic strike
MoP is the only good fury interation pre rampage
Yea
so real

Meanwhile 5 paragraphs and a 20% slam buff
Legion arms
Remember when slam was a casted? You could still move, but that 1s or so cast bar always made me laugh. Hit pretty hard to.
Was Warrior lit in MoP? Maybe I try it just for my war/lock
a lot of people loved Mop warrior
usually people say legion or Mop was their fav warrior expansion
only thing with legion was the leggos. if you had the leggo drops you were chillen
but MoP is def the best for War. i liked wrath arms and Dragon soul arms as well.
just talkin class design but yeah if u didnt get your bis lego at the start you werent having a good time in the begining of Legion
oh yeah for sure. specially during tomb it was really really good.
god I would pay so much money if they skipped wod classic and went straight to legion
give me legion with lego vendor at the start
Yup, if you didn't get glove or ring early it was rough.
and I grind for months
Sidenote: has anyone heard anything about what they are doing with the Dinar coin now that its not in renown track?
Omg I just remembered we had a aoe kick in mop
Ravager is great
Radio silence. It was removed and thought to be put in somewhere else. Nothing confirming when or where.
Thats what I though just saw it had a section in the new Wowhead Arms guide
best guess well get it in the .5 patch
Wasent mop where we had bloodbath aswell ?
Renown estimation had it originally coming out in .7 patch but Blizz agreed Dinars should come earlier and should be its own thing not tied to the renown
most likely also adding a way for Dinar to be used and aquired by M+ only people
Yeah KSM will be week one for most of us doing M+ as our main content.
a lot of mythic raiders get Aotc week 1 aswell
I hate pvp.
Just found this for the ones interested
Rokanah back with another dps warrior guide. This time it's Arms. This guide will go over everything to an Arms warrior in PvE. From Gemming and Enchanting to the Rotation and managing your CDs. Hope you enjoy.

I might watch to see the rotation lol
Are you guys still planning on maining arms for M+?
your in the arms channel

90% of ppl in here are arms enjoyers
I just switched like a month ago
even when dogshit cuz no one plays this spec
And Im holding strong 😂
I'll most likely do all three to a certain extent.
Same Id just like to main a dps and prot with my focus being raid
i wish i could get into tanking
its just so meh, i wanna do dam. not worry about living
Warrior is a class that likes all stats you can freely swap between each spec at most just have different rings and necks
dont feel the need to only play arms in a tier or fury
I only tanked keys up to 12, than no one wanted anything but Pally. I had been doing all specs through keys when I don't have to tank.
Oh cool in that case Ill probably swap around depending on the fight
okay okay
