#

if someone sees warrior being dogshit on 1st boss then they might not take warriors in pugs

#

type shii

#

arent u playing fury?

#

or am i thinking of someone else

olive nest
#

I play both but this tier probably arms mostly since we have two DHs that are good enough to steal the pad

trail orbit
#

i mean there is significant uptime on the 1st boss for straight ST. Think going slayer prob still the play no?

#

and taking cleave obviously.

olive nest
#

Plus it’s going to feel good being gear optimized for arms when we get to the execute bosses

hollow plover
#

time will tell

olive nest
trail orbit
#

no no i feel you haha

spice moss
#

do you guys farm one set each for fury and arms or which stats should i choose if i want to play both?

olive nest
#

You can gear for fury and play arms or vice versa with no problem at all

hollow plover
spice moss
#

but isnt crit shit for arms?

hollow plover
spice moss
#

fury*

#

sorry haha

hollow plover
#

crit is alright for fury

#

obv u want mastery haste more

#

but like it's ok

olive nest
#

Iirc arms will do better in fury gear
Vs
Fury playing in arms gear

trail orbit
#

i mean you just swap rings/neck and you are fury lol

olive nest
#

Really just equip ilvl and swap a crafted ring/neck depending on spec

#

It’s pretty chill

trail orbit
#

or you just be a man

#

and be arms

hollow plover
#

or recraft some crafted gear worst case

spice moss
#

aight thanks

#

really looking forward to play arms for the first time ever

olive nest
#

Arms owns

hollow plover
#

honestly

#

arms m+ kinda goated playstyle

#

i like it

#

i expected to hate it but its really fun

trail orbit
#

im just trying to debate if i wanna go slayer in dungeons and hate my life or go colo.

#

not a huge a colo fan

olive nest
#

Wait you mean you enjoy doing giga aoe!?!?

#

No way!

hollow plover
#

i like cleaves that feel worth pressing while also potentially resetting itself in aoe

#

i dont like that tclap is capped to 5 target rends though

#

kinda pointless

boreal quartz
#

i love sudden death in aoe

#

I wish there was a feature that made it worth using

#

they should make that a tierset or so

trail orbit
#

yeah i mean if we were back to bleeds doing a shit ton of dmg id care more about the 5 target clap

hollow plover
boreal quartz
#

im just getting at S3 df set

#

miss that shit

warped ether
#

Hear me out what if tc was on every third ms/cleave

boreal quartz
#

🫡

hollow plover
#

kind of?

warped ether
#

Ye

hollow plover
boreal quartz
#

cuz i like yapping

warped ether
#

Every third is prolly to op but every 4-5th

hollow plover
#

you just dont like using rend spells huh

boreal quartz
#

i really like using rend on st

spice moss
#

is it normal that i feel kinda overwhelmed with all the buttons to press on pull with arms? any tips?

boreal quartz
#

you kinda get used to it

spice moss
#

i hope soo^^

trail orbit
hollow plover
trail orbit
#

all at once

hollow plover
#

once its muscle memory u wont feel overwhelmed

warped ether
spice moss
#

thanks guys

trail orbit
hollow plover
#

I mean you have ravager, roar, demolish in colo build, you have to set up rend, you have to find CS and Avatar timing

#

its kind of a lot of buttons before going into rotation

#

so i get him

#

its daunting when u first learn the spec

spice moss
#

i mean you have so many CDs on a short cooldown. In fight you can basically just throw it out but at pull there are some struggles for me

trail orbit
#

so what worked for me when i was learning was just breaking it into segments

#

dont worry about doing the whole thing.

#

just build the memory going up to say, CS

#

or wahtever you feel comfortable w/

#

and getting good keybinds for them i think is half the battle. you're gonna be hitting them alot as arms.

spice moss
#

yeah i had to improvise to fit all the abilities in

#

haha

fathom shoal
#

Yep you don't want awkward keybind locations that's forsure

trail orbit
#

haha yea iget that. for me i have all 4-5 cds on shift 1,2,3 etc

#

and they are just in a line easy to reach

hollow plover
spice moss
#

oh nice idea

hollow plover
#

having different modifiers for cooldowns as arms

spice moss
#

i will test that

hollow plover
#

is fucked

spice moss
#

thanks

trail orbit
#

yeah np 🙂

empty pike
#

guys, are these max roll timers for hc or mythic fighting?

quasi field
#

anyone got demolish buff tracker?

quaint otter
#

I do

#

Need a simple square or progress line?

quasi field
#

just a square but i found one just needed to type in the actual talent not the abbility

#

ty though

quaint otter
#

Kk

merry stone
#

Just took a quick glance at the new builds - we don’t like Skullsplitter again?

trail orbit
#

not sure if its a mistake but on wowhead for slayer mythic plus has us taking blunt instead of warbreaker?

merry stone
#

Gotcha

#

Makes sense

dire hinge
#

Cleave applying Deep Wounds negates the need for Warbreaker a lot too

trail orbit
#

ahh ok perfect

dire hinge
#

but Blunt Instruments give you a big haste window (AoE and ST) gladge

trail orbit
#

yeah

#

ty sir!

dire hinge
#

of course! good luck out there 🎉

trail orbit
dire hinge
#

yeah, warbreaker is usually taken for colossus

#

Colossus is a lot burstier, so Warbreaker plays into that

trail orbit
#

gottcha makes sense. demo has been a little wonky for me to use, not getting the full value but ithink its moreso because tanks moving.

dire hinge
#

you can use heroic-leap mid channel to stick on mobs while continuing to channel

#

it's very goofy, but it works

#

but yeah, to your point, it's a big flaw of demo imho

trail orbit
#

oh shit thats good tech haha

#

did not know that

#

thought it canceled it

dire hinge
#

so jumping cancels it, but leap doesn't because [reasons]

trail orbit
#

lmao bc its a leap not a jump :p

dire hinge
#

hmmNod checks out

trail orbit
#

haha ty again 🙂

dire hinge
#

of course! This community is usually pretty good about helping if you ever have any more questions

#

right folks? shakyeyes

thick hamlet
#

any known arms bugs currently?

dire hinge
#

nothing new with the patch off the top of my head, but i could have missed something. Did you experience one?

thick hamlet
#

nothing i've noticed, i'm mainly asking to try to compare with ingame testing

tall flare
dire hinge
#

sure can!

tall flare
#

mind blown

#

🤣

#

Thats gonna save me in M+ 💯

#

With enough speed you can move during it

last inlet
#

longer than the animation

#

or maybe its my lag?

#

idk.

royal dune
#

anyone know why my bladestorm hits like a wet noodle?

#

thats 5 casts

torpid jackal
#

are you colo?

royal dune
#

slayer

last inlet
#

hes got Slayer strike in there

torpid jackal
#

you're so right lunchmeat

last inlet
#

1 taret?

#

target*

royal dune
#

ye

last inlet
#

thats probably why.

#

i don't think BS got alot of straight DMG buffs

royal dune
#

oh nvm on raidbots it also counts ms in bladstorm thats why it shows 76mil

last inlet
#

oh

fast pond
last inlet
#

yeah was crazy yesterda

#

almost got me killed on a rare (not the weak rares either)

eager sigil
last inlet
#

kk good

eager sigil
#

bladestorm also lasts twice as long

last inlet
#

then im not going crazy

#

xD

latent moss
#

they just kinda buffed our rotational spells twice for 20-30%

#

and now everything thats not rotational sucks damage wise

shadow ibex
#

BS does no damage

#

Each tick of it is roughly a slam

eager sigil
#

3 mortal strikes are the damage of it

shadow ibex
#

They should be cleave if you sweeping before BS

chilly isle
#

Unhinged being in the game makes it so Bladestorm cant deal dmg

alpine veldt
#

best talents for m+ now?

trail orbit
alpine veldt
#

thanks

tulip hornet
#

a lockbox. that is upgradable, and equippable?

olive nest
#

This would actually be badass if you could make unhinged cast cleave instead via sweep

tulip hornet
#

shows up in the upgrade window but cant click it

olive nest
#

Did you try unlocking it

slender snow
#

Is it just me, or is this build not working?
It put two points in Overwhelming rage?

tacit crystal
safe island
#

Arms Warrior CD is too difficult to manage

tacit crystal
#

what does that mean

gaunt owl
#

send it

safe island
#

I don't know how to operate it after opening.

olive nest
#

Iirc Krispy mentioned to just send it the other day so I’ve been going with that

tacit crystal
#

zz i hate the idea of sending op at 2 mp

#

oh well

shadow ibex
#

Shouldn't be possible really

#

Unless final global resets but I think would only take prio at x2 charges

#

Like MS OP OP = x2 mp. Fill last global before MS with slam get a tact proc

#

Only 1 OP charge now I think sim only prio it if it was at 2

gaunt owl
#

yeah you shouldnt happen in the scenario of sending OP at 2 MP

tacit crystal
#

it happen one time last night critcake

olive nest
#

It wouldn’t be possible for that to happen because op can’t proc itself correct?

gaunt owl
#

only rage spending ability can give you more OP

olive nest
#

Right yeah

gaunt owl
olive nest
#

Never miss an Ms cast!

#

MS big stronk!

shadow ibex
olive nest
#

Even if it resets from the 3rd global you still would MS next

trail orbit
#

the "proper" play is to have every MS with at least 1 MP yea? but even if you dont have any OP to cast and say MS resets, you are just sending the naked MS because of how strong it is now?

olive nest
#

MS first
If you can’t, OP
If you can’t either, Slam

#

It’s pretty chill loop really

trail orbit
#

ok yeah thats what ive been doing. and depending on procs and stuff im not delays my MS at all. i try to get my MS with at least 1 MP stack but doesnt always work

#

i just kinda say F it, ill get it on the next MS

#

i just dont wanna leave MS off CD

gaunt owl
olive nest
#

Missing Ms casts is real bad for the overall

olive nest
trail orbit
#

yeah thats how ive come to understand everything so ive been just sending it even if like OP is just about to come off CD im not waiting for it. im just sending the MS

olive nest
#

Congrats! You can do arms!

gaunt owl
#

always be casting

trail orbit
#

lmao

#

im doing it dad!

olive nest
trail orbit
#

i wipe my own ass

gaunt owl
#

proud of you

brisk flower
#

we dont prio op with opportunist anymore?

olive nest
#

No way!!

#

Please never bring back sitting around waiting for auto attacks

#

Dogshit gameplay

chilly isle
#

Arms 4 set being 6.5% dps increase does that include the 2.2% from 2 set? Or is it 8.7% in total?

trail orbit
#

nahh i mained arms back when it was a clunky mess this iteration has been a breath of fresh air lol. very glad to be coming back to the spec and it actually has some flow.

olive nest
#

It’d be the 8% total from no 4pc -> new 4pc

chilly isle
#

Aight, sweet

olive nest
#

Well you’re talking Colo?

#

Colo the sheet says 6% for 4p

latent moss
#

u didn't sit waiting for aa in late sl

chilly isle
#

Ah yea it was Colo

latent moss
#

and spec was way more interesting

#

actually had to think

chilly isle
#

But i think i understand now, the 4 set does not include the 2 set

woven wasp
brisk flower
latent moss
#

hi gerg

olive nest
chilly isle
#

Then it does include the 2 set

latent moss
#

our tier is weak again

olive nest
trail orbit
#

its weak, but abilities doing more dam is better imo.

latent moss
#

i agree

trail orbit
#

relying your dmg on tier bonus is lame

latent moss
#

always opp op over ms

#

if u ms over opp op u can lose an opp proc

latent moss
#

which was just more ms exe cleave damage

#

we were tuned around it (and it was busted)

#

so in s2 we just fell off

#

cause we lost it

olive nest
#

Courtesy Warbreaker guys

trail orbit
#

yeah. tier imo should never be a 15% or more gain for classes, if thats the case seems like something is wrong with the base kit.

glossy tusk
trail orbit
#

haha they did tone them down in the latest patch notes when arms/fury got hit.

#

not sure if it was the tier or base abilities like us tho.

#

or combo

glossy tusk
#

i think it was like us if i remeber correctly

#

but they got hit with 8%

olive nest
#

Martial prowess stacks

#

When you cast OP it buffs your next MS cast (buff is called Martial Prowess)

brisk flower
#

🤔

tacit crystal
#

the talent is called martial prowess

olive nest
#

Ahh neet

brisk flower
#

kk ty

olive nest
#

Odd that they just call it overpower keks

steep osprey
#

what do you guys replace for improved SS

#

liek for silken

steep osprey
shadow ibex
#

Or sks

olive nest
#

Probably drop sks ye

#

That button so bad

#

I wish it was still the insta pop tbh

#

I know it had its annoyances like forcing you to re apply bleeds right after it but ehh

#

Still was cool

steep osprey
#

this is my ST

#

This is my ST

#

I don't even have SkS lol

olive nest
#

Poor Bloord

steep osprey
#

so uh

olive nest
#

Since bleeds suck now probably just drop BB for long sweep

steep osprey
#

gg

lavish crystal
#

stupid question, does arms make a different at all if you use a 2h mace/axe/sword versus a polearm? polearm has slower attack speed, wouldnt that mean less rage gen?]

fathom shoal
#

Nope

#

It's all normalized

lavish crystal
#

okay cool thats what i figured, just never knew for sure

olive nest
#

Big ole hammer is bis

lmao just the opposite.

agile igloo
#

ouch lol

olive nest
#

No we’re quite low actually in comparison

trail orbit
#

not bad at all tho when your abilties hit like a frieght train

agile igloo
#

Idk, so many dam numbers out there.

steep osprey
#

anyone got a good wa pack

#

this one sucks

#

@shadow ibex what WA pack u using?

shadow ibex
#

I just use my own

trail orbit
#

i just swapped to atrocity last night and ngl its pretty good for war

shadow ibex
#

A rend tracker a rage number swing timer

trail orbit
#

it kinda smells for some classes

shadow ibex
#

I just track our buffs and CS rend and ep

quaint otter
#

uwu wa and colo stacks

#

And hrotmar collateral wa chatting

minor gust
#

Delete the uwu it is no longer required

#

Purge it from your system

shadow ibex
#

Fuck lethal blows

minor gust
#

Glad we ignoring it now

olive nest
#

Yeah the whole ignoring MS until 2x LB was ass

#

Glad that’s gone

shadow ibex
#

Weak aura spec

quaint otter
#

I am cooked.

olive nest
#

Ew spear!!

#

3 different conditionals to press 1 fucking button no sir not in my house kaching WA all the way

quaint otter
shadow ibex
#

Just drop ep

minor gust
# shadow ibex Just drop ep

NGL I was thinking of that with how little you press execute in Colossus M+ but there's not really any other talent to grab

#

Only other option is a point In BB but bleeds fucking suck

olive nest
#

dire hinge
#

is this the "scaling" thing i keep hearing about

shadow ibex
#

For what other damage increase?

#

Cursed trees

quaint otter
#

going to be something else

minor gust
#

Yeah only option is BB or fucking Bloodsurge lmao

#

Not really good options

quaint otter

Peak scaling

Macro into ava and call it a day

I hate spear and roar

#

Give me both torments

Spear has always felt like a bad global to me

#

Idk why

shadow ibex

Fuck this shit

shadow ibex
#

One day

#

I'll have banner back

trail orbit
#

spekaing of banners do they have them in ToP?

#

but as a general hey everyone can use it?

shadow ibex
#

When they reworked banner mid castle I used my free swap to spend half our night of denath prog trying jt

#

Then swapped back to nf on break

icy mulch
#

I was Nightfae for my Daddy D kill.

shadow ibex
#

I wouldn't be surprised if I was only arms war to do mythic sire pulls with banner

#

It was only like 10 or so. However long until break

minor gust
#

Banner is good warrior fantasy. It can def return as long as it's not bad gameplay aka the fucking skullbanner they tried giving us in DF beta

shadow ibex
#

Coming back with mop

icy mulch
#

Execute range was massive in that fight, but fury just blasted the shit out of the shades.

trail orbit
#

i mean if anyone wants to know peak warrior just play Mists classic

icy mulch
#

Nah, Cataclysm. Mist was too much jammed into every class.

gaunt owl
minor gust
#

The poop clogged

trail orbit
#

mists / legion(tomb specifically) then cata thats my favorite iterations of arms

minor gust
#

But yeah anytime I think of banner I think of that space marine 2 scene

#

And I need that on my warrior

shadow ibex
#

A banner would be cool but idk

#

They refuse to give us any flavor

minor gust
#

NGL imagine if your banner turned into your guild banner

shadow ibex
#

And the WB animation was complete wrong direction

trail orbit
#

but we have a new wabreaker animation :p

#

aww beat me to it haha

shadow ibex
#

If that's the flavor we have I worry because they are completely out of touch

u missed the joke too

nah i knew the joke

#

you just go rejoked

coarse stratus

Just came over from fury, is the icy veins m+ colossus build any good? You guys got any recommended changes

They said they know it's bad and is working on it well see if they forget about it or not

Thanks Phil

grizzled estuary
#

hey guys, looking at IV guide and can you please walk me through this ? (aoe rotation colossus)
"Arms multi-target rotation is extremely dynamic, changing frequently based on the number of targets, what specific buffs are available,"
i dont really understand whats dynamic apart from using MS and execute if SS is on

quaint otter
meager timber
#

lol last night I realized how dynamic it really is

minor gust
#

That's the dynamic part priorities change depending on if you have SS or not

meager timber
#

Arms has quite a bit of is this is going on then do this

#

Or I did this and make this stronger

#

Like doesn’t ravager make cleave hit bigger but then outside of that you want to mortal strike when you get overpowered stacks at 2

#

Idk I’m making stuff up I’m trying to figure out as of like three days ago but still like that

grizzled estuary
#

yea but can you explain me what should i be looking at ? maybe im missing or misreading the guides but the piority list looks straightforwards

steep osprey
#

Prot plays pretty much identical to colossus arms lol

#

Revenge = Cleave, Shield Slam = MS

minor gust
quaint otter
daring heron
#

thanks @fresh spire for the talents cook on court

steep osprey
#

Yeah I want to know who that warlock is

#

not being #1 on council

#

please do tell

daring heron
#

no

meager timber
#

I would say read the talents you copied and pasted in. Just so you know that doing this buffs that then attack something and look at procs

#

That’s how I have been doing it

daring heron
shadow ibex
#

You can't get spear capstone

#

It might be better than roar still

meager timber
#

I wish I could get intervene 😦

grizzled estuary
shadow ibex
#

Since dot will end during amp of dmg

quaint otter
#

with the new changes my balls meter(colo stacks) seem to fill so slow sadge

minor gust
# daring heron

Of you ran fatality too how much was the hit did u get it in the amp? I ran the same just no fatality

meager timber
#

Is there any feasible way to take intervene?

grizzled estuary
shadow ibex
#

Spear might be better than roar if it does more damage in the vulnerable window

minor gust
#

Yeah me and Krispy both thought spear would prob still be better

meager timber
#

Oh yeah there ya go mint berry just always do that and profit

grizzled estuary
#

noo man im trying to understand T.T

shadow ibex
#

You would ms over slam

meager timber
#

So back to my point to understand you would have to read the talents

grizzled estuary
#

so these are kinda of (which i totally get considering how recent it is)

meager timber
#

And understand WHY

#

Slam should almost never be used

#

It’s so low prio

#

It’s I have literally nothing left in the tank

minor gust
# daring heron 16m

Did you struggle getting demolish in time for amps too. You can really feel not having Execute on CM when playing col on court

grizzled estuary
#

ofc, but fwiw my understanding of talent is not very consistent with our beloved theorycrafters priority list, so i tend to believe them more, hence totally lost

meager timber
#

You know what you can do which everyone will flame me for but I do it every time I start a new class

shadow ibex
#

Battle lord probably helped

minor gust
meager timber
#

Go Download hekili and fight at the dummies for 5 mins and pay attention to what procs and what hekili is tell you to do

shadow ibex
#

Drop bl and a deft

#

For jugg and crit

grizzled estuary
#

huuu everytime i mastered a class hekili felt wayyy off for me

shadow ibex
#

Maybe

meager timber
#

Then compare to guide

#

Then I don’t know what to tell ya man I’m trying here lol

grizzled estuary
#

and then i find information in guides that seems to contradict themselves (such as the one originally pasted, that rotation is dynamic) which goes in line with my understand but not with the prio list

meager timber
#

Download a sim and look at what the sim is doing?

grizzled estuary
#

yea i used to do that as well as its another input of theorycrafters

#

thanks for taking the time to answer mate

minor gust
#

Can figure this out

meager timber
#

I mean I’m new to arms as of like 5 days ago so I can’t speak about it too technically 😦

grizzled estuary
#

so it doesnt sound much dynamic with alot of buff tracking (people here where just discussing the high amount of WA trackers nedded)

meager timber
#

There is one dudes arms specific weak auras that’s great it has three little countdown bars that covers bleed, SS etc

grizzled estuary
#

yea ofc you gotta track rend uptime as well thanks for pointing out

shadow ibex
#

Aoe I don't think is very complicated. I think people tricked themselves into thinking it is with collateral

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

Literally just keep cleave on cd. You have globals to spend between cleave. Fill them with MS or OP

minor gust
grizzled estuary
shadow ibex
#

Unhinged

minor gust
#

Outside during normal priority you can control it

shadow ibex
#

Every other WB will have ravager

dim basalt
#

Imagine if Unhinged was a choice node with a cleave alternative

grizzled estuary
#

so if i understand correctly we still in debate whether or not sending MS at 3+ targets (after cleave ofc)

shadow ibex
#

Like at 15% a stack I don't worry about consuming op stacks. I rather send ms and get cdr

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

Mp got nerfed so I care even less about consuming it with ms or cleave

dim basalt
#

Even with higher target counts using op for MS could be better if its an important prio target

#

Pure dps is not everything

grizzled estuary
#

yea this ofc i have in mind as well, tyvm all you rock Avatar

minor gust
#

I play with SOA so I'm spamming cleave MS in aoe

#

Give me that prio and cdr

shadow ibex
#

I play dn but still ms cuz I want cdr

minor gust
#

Your better off swapping to SOA then if your prio like that

shadow ibex
#

With 2pc might change. Lots of op damage with that and colossus stacks

minor gust
#

With EB you can go awhile with not pressing OP

grizzled estuary
#

whats MP though pls

silk spade
#

i would assume you op between resets with s2 tier

#

like more than you already do

minor gust
minor gust
grizzled estuary
#

thanks

minor gust
#

Makes op buff your next cleave or MS

Are we even going to wear 2p-2p if we have the chance

minor gust
#

No clue but that's just a sim question.

I feel like if anything its gonna be really close

exhilarating, just stumbled across thanks, make ez names pls blizzard deadge

slow saddle
#

Ah ye enduring was sl wasnt it

minor gust
#

Yes

#

The better blows

shadow ibex
#

Is our 2pc still gonna get removed by OP randomly for no buff

#

When we only have 2pc

slow saddle
#

Ofc?

minor gust
#

I would complain but its pretty easy to get 4pc week one at latest start of week 2 so not a big deal

slow saddle
#

Ye prob

#

Also just keep old tier

shadow ibex
#

Old tier sucks

grizzled estuary
#

am i the only one to dislike tiersets? find it boring af and adding barely nothing

shadow ibex
#

They are hit and miss to me. For every df s1 we have df s2 or tww s1

minor gust
#

Tier sets are good for the game even when they don't take 10/10 ones and put them into talents cough cough season 3 DF

olive nest
#

Make my SD cast giga TC already

shadow ibex
#

Im neutral to them.

minor gust
#

We have a whole fucking hero tree dedicated to SD and the DF season 3 tier set isn't in there

shadow ibex
#

I don't think tier sets are good or bad but I think each class getting a unique armor look each tier is good for the game

minor gust
#

What a scam

grizzled estuary
#

i mean i'd rather be allowed to equip some vanilla pieces and grind my gear as it comes than stalling for last tier pieces due to tiersets

shadow ibex
#

Whether or not that set has tier bonus is whatever but getting unique cosmetic each tier is important

grizzled estuary
#

i find it frustrating, later in tier it doesnt matter for sure

#

like right now im simming higher with chests and gloves 594 over 619 explorers tierlist

teal fossil
#

seems like a bug

shadow ibex
#

I don't think any tier has changed us since DF?

minor gust
#

Cuz there's nothing to shake up for arms

#

We don't really have different builds in the arms tree

shadow ibex
#

Yea all our tier has been damage on ms or exe

minor gust
#

Just different options

shadow ibex
#

Anyone home

#

How much is iftk tom dif

teal fossil
minor gust
#

Can check for you in like 5-10 making lunch right now

teal fossil
#

it just never happened for arms

#

very cringe

#

did it for fury and i know it changed for a couple classes

#

in fact fury got talent changes in S3 SL and S3 DF

#

while arms just had the same shit

#

and if you were palying a good spec

#

it changes

shadow ibex
#

We've played mostly the same since df launch

minor gust
somber geyser
#

Do buffs like Juggernaut pandemic when you refresh them?

shadow ibex
#

Nah they go to max duration

somber geyser
#

okey doke thanks

shadow ibex
#

Sweeping is added if you have blademaster + use sweeping

#

It will combine them

somber geyser
#

blademaster? sorry I'm just learning the spec and setting up WAs

minor gust
#

somber geyser
#

oh got it, thanks

shadow ibex
#

Let me have both sadge

minor gust
#

@shadow ibex using ptr gear so numbers arent 100% accurate but I assume the % diff would still be close iftk is 1.6% ahead of TOM

shadow ibex
#

Ur gear not bis list

minor gust
#

you want live right now iftk vs Tom?

#

without new tier set?

shadow ibex
#

Yes

minor gust
#

ohhhh ok ill check assume u wanted new tier set

visual folio
#

why sweeping strikes before ravager?

#

aoe "opener" on wowhead

shadow ibex
#

Get it on cd and use bug to build lots of demo stack

minor gust
shadow ibex

#

takes me ages to get stacks

visual folio
#

ah so the mortal strikes from bladestorm also works with ravager ?

shadow ibex
#

Can test it fast just ravager next to dummy

visual folio
#

didn't knew about that ,makes sense

dim basalt
#

Damage part doesnt work with SS tho

#

Just the stacks doing their thing

visual folio
#

Last i played this spec was bfa s1, all i remember is pressing ss after bladestorm

visual folio
shadow ibex
#

Tbh they should just sweep to give BS some aoe no matter how small

rose matrix
#

Is execute above overpower in priority during sweeping strikes?

dim basalt
shadow ibex
#

I was thinking how do you make bs stronger for slayer only

#

I guess make overwhelmed better

#

Imminent demise adding a dmg modifier as well

dire hinge
#

just make one of the talents have bs do more damage on the slayer tree

#

it's all made up

#

none of this is real

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

I feel that way about a lot of stuff

#

Like why can't we be blademasters

visual folio
#

only time I would overcap executioner precisioner is to not waste a sd proc, or 3 mfe, or jugg falling off, correct? the way I'm reading this prio list seems that its mostly just not over capping these buffs/debuffs

minor gust
#

bring back double bladestorm Slayer! Forever Spin no play game!

shadow ibex
#

Jugg won't be in danger of falling off in exe

visual folio
#

easier to think about it in terms of not overcapping/munching, for me at least

visual folio
shadow ibex
#

Overcapping EP would be sub 35 only unless u got INSANE SD proc

dim basalt
#

If you ask with M+ in mind

shadow ibex
#

And then it's just a rage thing. It's gonna be MS exe exe X MS sub 35. If ur already exe twice and still above 85 u exe again

visual folio
#

3 exec in a row even with MS up after the 2nd one?

shadow ibex
#

MS won't be up until after 3rd global

shadow ibex
#

3 global cds between MS

#

Unless EB roc

visual folio
#

probably a opportunists proc is up during that

minor gust
#

unless u get an EB proc

silk spade
#

exe exe op ms goes hard

shadow ibex
#

Yes and opportunist would take prio but if u have above 85 iirc exe takes prio

visual folio
#

at least on the dummy it felt like every other gcd had a opportunists proc

shadow ibex
#

That's when you would overcap on EP

#

Yes it's frequent

#

Even with no deft 2/2

visual folio
minor gust
#

Exhilarting blows

visual folio
#

ms reset? dont think I was talented into that 🤔

#

will check later

minor gust
#

if you are using the updated builds for 11.1 then you will be in both ST and M+ builds

visual folio
#

yeah I was using slayer st but legit don't remember a single reset

#

maybe im making it up

#

or I was just not paying attention to ms button when trying to understand the buffs/debufds

#

gonna make a slot machine weak aura for when that procs, always bis

dim basalt
#

Are we actually gonna send MS MS with a reset?

#

That sounds dumb

#

Without an opp proc ofc

rose matrix
shadow ibex
dim basalt
minor gust
#

yeah colossus exe phase treats exe like slam

#

which ngl im fine with it

#

gives more difference between colossus and slayer

shadow ibex
dim basalt
#

Maybe it actually feels better now since MS doesnt hit like a noodle

minor gust
dim basalt
#

Outside of exe phase

minor gust
#

oh MS vs opp?

dim basalt
#

ye

minor gust
#

Opp > MS yeah

shadow ibex
#

Opp over MS

dim basalt
#

I know, I was specifically asking about no opp

#

Sorry lol

minor gust
#

no opp = MS > OP

dim basalt
#

I guess I could have answered that myself

shadow ibex
#

No opp keep MS on cd for sure

dim basalt
#

Just sounds kinda weird dunno

shadow ibex
#

No opp means ur colossus probably

minor gust
#

thats primarily why a lot of ppl dislike opportunist

#

because of what it does to MS prio

#

your brain is hard wired always to hit MS

shadow ibex
#

They also did say buffing MS because arms should want to be excited to press it

#

But they buff OP and opp too

minor gust
dim basalt
#

Where DN buffs 😦

shadow ibex
#

Not saying they shouldn't but their own words were yall should be keeping ms on cd

#

Tbh opp is just 1 talent tho it's OK if it changes stuff. I don't mind it above exe but sub 35 with tons of resets it can probably be unintuitve

#

I'm like 99% sure it drops in prio sub 35 if/when you get x2 MP tho

dim basalt
#

x2 MP in exe phase?

#

Thats like a lust only thing no?

somber geyser
#

I'm lookin at this and it's giving me a lot of questions

#

Such as... how early is too early to refresh juggernaut?

minor gust
#

3-4 seconds

somber geyser
#

If it's like 5 seconds left on juggernaut, and I only have ONE stack of sudden death, should I just send the execute?

#

if my SD is about to expire

minor gust
#

send when jugg is at 3-4 seconds

dim basalt
#

Should be at most the 2nd last gcd before it runs out

#

Because bosses love to parry

I just made my WA have juggernaut glow when <5 seconds; between SD and MfE it's almost impossible to not have one going

minor gust

it will make a Kaching sound whenever you should press exe

somber geyser
#

dear god

#

ill make that into a glow probably

Never trust bloodmallet is rule #1

minor gust
#

also just let the damn robot think about stats for you

dire copper
#

if you look at the character build, bloodmallet is borked from the talent rework. it's skipping entire talent tiers and taking capstones before taking prerequisites

minor gust
#

any thought about stats you may have shall goto the robot

dire copper
#

it also...isn't taking hero talents? lmao

shadow ibex
#

a tiny little map appearing near the car would be perfect

currently in col m+spec during execute phase do we only ms with 2 stacks of ep or do we just send it off cd

do you save martial prowess for cleave on aoe? lets say cleave is on cd but i have 2 stacks of it, do i send MS with SS if there are like 5 targets?

Rng damage buffs. Thx blizz

dull siren
#

gamba gamba gamba

reef glade

but thinking about it for what purpose would u hold OP

#

just to keep the 10 stack 50% op dmg buff and never use it

#

or start sending at 10 stacks ig u mean for the haste and ms buff

deft osprey
#

Yeah maybe stacking it is somehow a dps increase idk

reef glade
#

didnt realize all abilities give stacks not just op

#

but eh

#

too much work

#

maybe if theres like some like giga burn phases on bosses you could

20% haste and MS dam

but even still no guarantee it procs when you want it

so is arms using rend manually nad not through tclap anymore?

its always thru thunderclap psure

unless st maybe

gritty oar
#

yeah for like Raid

silk spade
minor gust
#

Rend is better for ST than TC yes but its very minimal and if you just want to save a keybinding you can

gritty oar
#

i mean Tclap applies rend if you have it and it costs the same rage the only real difference is ST i see more Shock wave > clap so wasnt sure

minor gust
#

how dare you get it wrong Baze stick with Fury kid

silk spade
#

real

dire hinge
#

tclap/rend is negligible, but there's also no reason to take tclap in a pure single target fight

#

can macro to swap based on talent selection though ❤️

silk spade

some fights you rend until adds show up and then you clap there

for sure, can also just tclap the whole time, genuinely doesn't matter much

ill only send at non 10 if im not gonna be able to make it before CS falls off

but that rarely happens

#

you should be able to get a 10 stack demo before that happens

if not at 10 stacks i just try to get as many as possible

minor gust

ST opener tho just has demolish sent after the first MS

snow flame
rare kite
dire hinge
#

During execute just send it regardless of stacks, in AoE you send it with 10 most of the time.
During your opener FrozenBozo nailed it (just send it before CS ends regardless of stacks)

minor gust

yeah especially in M+ your rarely going into a boss with 0 stacks of CM

#

its not often

smoky kayak

#

Hmm ok ok just trying to min max the spec cause I haven’t really played it since it was released since it was not really meta.

minor gust

basically if mobs are about to die cuz shits blowing up just send the non 10 stack demolish

rare kite

majority of the time you will be at 10 stacks anyway

#

Just learning Arms atm and just want to double check something real quick, I sometimes find myself in a situation where Bladestorm is off CD and I also have an opportunitst proc and x2 executioners percision, do I use up the 2 procs before sending bladestorm? In my mind it feels like I'm wasting anger management by holding bladestorm for a few globals yknow

smoky kayak
#

the procs will get used automatically during Bladestorm thanks to Unhinged; it's actually ideal to do it that way, since it saves you a GCD from having to cast MS manually

rare kite
#

if you have 2x executioners and bladestorm you send bladestorm

hot cypress
#

Gotcha, even over the opportunist proc?

rare kite
#

yes

hot cypress
#

tyvm

smoky kayak
#

Opportunist won't reproc during Bladestorm since you're not actually spending rage, so it shouldn't matter

#

maybe if the Opportunist proc is running out and you wanna use it before you lose it, but I wouldn't worry too hard about it

it's so pretty
