crafting, delves, M+
actually you can get a whole set of 629 on alts this week without much effort
and then next week you can start farming the seasonal activities for higher
Also this is bugged so do 2x old content weekly world boxes before going to the new zone
wasn't bugged for me 
Thats very lucky!
I'm not sure it's luck, more likely either they fixed w/e the problem was fairly early, or w/e issue people had was more invasive than "do old content before new"
Can we still do s1 keys?
They didnt fix it early, the only way to ensure getting 2x items is doing old first
early as in "before I did it"
One of the boxes in new zone counts for a veteran piece box without giving one
I understand, again - it worked correctly for me
which suggests they either fixed the issue before I did it, or the actual issue is more technically invasive and not affecting everyone equally
I did it yesterday evening and it didnt work then
see previous comment lol
So luck
also to be clear, you don't get a 645 piece
Wait can u craft full free 629?
you get a 623 1/8 which upgrades to 645
call it w/e you want man, I'm just saying it's not as clear cut as "do old content first" and I'm done with this seemingly pointless conversation
New content is bugged, old content isnt, so thats the only way you can be sure to get both pieces
Pretty simple
Whatever that means
it means exactly what it means
I know that I have done the Urge to Surge, Speading the Light and Special Assignment and got 1, going to do Awakening the Machine to see if I get the second Veteran piece
🫡 u are already bricked
I did two veteran chests only got one veteran item in my bag
From new zone right?
One was the delivery quest other was play bullshit
Yea i think its the delivery one thats bugged
Havent played since 11.0.7 should i farm the ring?
I think it's technically like 6 pieces or something, but you can craft 629 with weathered undermine crests and you can even get extra crests above cap from season 1 renown quartermasters
on how many targets i use cleave?
2
okii thx
probably, its likely to be nerfed but no guarantee on when or how much
yes, it's very quick
2+ i dont use slam yeah?
Cleave will auto-cast Slam w/ FoB
and you'll practically never have cleave without FoB
FoB = ?
Funyuns or bust

hello brozos how's the state of arms rn?
lol I just want to make a comment ultimately no one will care about but I makes me feel good. Never thought id play arms but picked it up randomly last week and am hooked now. This is possibly one of the only classes left in game where every ability FEELS like you are using your weapons lol. Unholy DH I stand and point at mob holding a 2h over and over, survival I’m throwing a bomb, shooting a xbow point at mob for pet to attack and barely swinging my weapon. The old school really does FEEL great
Owns as always
i was trying some prot keys and demolish hits harder as a tank spec x)
After so long 1 season i'm back to Arms once again

Arms, the new fury
so hows warrior looking for s2, should I feel bad for playing boomkin rn 
Yes
you should always feel bad for playing boomkin

i had to for the guild in s1 
been playing warr since wotlk
Well boomie is still very good
yeah, warr my first love though
is there an experienced arms warrior that could give me a 30 minutes disc lesson on this tier. Only played fury. i'll trade some gold for it. DM me
My preconceived ideas about arms, I haven't played it much before, are that it is lower apm than fury but more punishing if you make a mistake. Is this right?
Not that.much lower no
oh so still carpel tunnel inducing?
What's the upside, if it is indeed more punishing if you make a mistake? Or is that also wrong.
fury is harder to play than arms this patch
I've always seen Arms as a mysterious dark art and so am tempted to learn it.
harder - why/how? This is what i wanted to hear but good to know more detail if you are able to share.
Fury is harder to play right now if your goal is to perfect the rotation when considering all the conditionals for ability priority
If you don’t give a shit about that it’s still just press BT on CD rampage as much as possible and raging blow when you can’t do either
it's just clunky to me....whereas fury plays more like a rogue....fast flowing and always something to press....but im no expert
Brewjj did you mean arms plays more like rogue?
Arms right now is straightforward, you keep your rend on the target, send your cds, overpower if procs > MS > overpower > slam, fury has a lot of procs and conditionals that change the priority regularly
I don’t play rogue so I’m not sure how they compare
@brewjj sorry i meant to ask brad.. apologies
But arms is just understanding what ability has the highest priority so that way you cast the right one when multiple are available
I guess that’s most classes tbf
ok they have similarly timed cd's? i think back in the day Arms had longer cd's so if you used them at the wrong time in a key you would pay the price whereas fury's came back more often.
I'm going to learn arms 🙂 Will go look up some guides!
Fury plays AM again so you’ll have cds every 30 seconds or so
Arms is 1:30 avatar and the rest come back quicker and are not synced well
ok this is VERY attractive because if i mess up I know i get it back soon.
We're not playing sks this tier AFAIK so arms is a lot smoother. Just adjust weakauras for rend timeouts
ok cool thanks
No SKS is a blessing
I'm going to give arms a good go - looking forward to being back in the warrior community.

mortal strike numero uno? am i wrong play are is?
M+?
Cleave and Demo should be above MS
If you were like heavily focusing MS into priority targets then sure
But otherwise cleave should be top
For peak overall
On bigger pulls, like 8+ do we bother thunderclapping more then once to rend everything?
guys who has made the best arms rotation video guides? I struggle a bit with wowhead and all that.
Critcake M+
Sweep* to get more targets
argh 😦
This spec is pretty dead
ok i will try to decode wowhead then
Critcake, Biz, etc..
They dont make guides
Sarcasm....
No it is lol
Mad Ox has a good 11.1 arms guide rn
tyvm will go check it out.
+1 Maddox
would this prio change then?
Well, it was until tier lists got released that people believe
Updated by Critcake since it was wrong - check youtube comments
is it me or might is not stacking as fast as it used to with ravager?
Yeah I like to charge and Sweep mid charge before doing cleave/tc
oh yeah check comment for Collosus AoE opener update 👍
idgaf about tier lists tbh - i just lost my main tank spot due to having to miss the next 4 weeks of raids and that has left me open to pick any dps i want.. and warrior has the best class fantasy for me so here i am. Is arms fotm or something?
Makes sense yea, thanks
Arms = life
Smaller collateral pop this way though technically
THIS is why i want to play warrior again - THE most loyal to their class bunch of crazy people is warriors.
Arms and Fury are really well tuned right now so people are hopping on the meta train
ok now your comment makes sense to me 🙂
These warriors have earned title every time so far....
i wouldn't call arms fotm, tho it is very strong atm. in general arms is just not a very popular spec, even when blatantly overpowered
makes me want to play it more 🙂 thanks!
Don’t worry everyone will get there tiersets right after they nerf us and then we won’t be “fotm”
So if we prio collateral, ud not bother with clapping more then once i take it?
off to google maddox so i dont annoy you with terrible basic questions. But thanks for this guys - REALLY appreciate it and im happy!
the second fury becomes a near top spec it becomes fotm tho
Pretty much yeah you wouldn’t bother clapping again unless you run out of OP and cleave
Arms is a spec where it does well... and then once you unlock your brain, you can really really do well.

Really it depends how long the pack lives because you do want to maintain rend, I’m just thinking during the sweep/MBG window
As noted the AOE Opener is wrong in video - check comments.
yea maybe clap more given the pack lives long enough, allthough i doubt there are many pulls with longer sustained dmg needed
its a pretty straightforward specc with quite a few nuances, its weird getting used to after i dont know how many years of fury
If you're doing keys this week. A +13 is a pretty good level to practice things. Packs live a little less than a full rend timing if rest of the group is competent
Crit did explain all talents + rotation in last ptr update
there is a new 2 weapon craft or it's claymore 675 the bis craft weapon ?
All 2h weapon crafts are basically the same they're just aesthics
maybe there is a new patron loot on raid, i don't know ^^'
Crafted 2h is the play
As someone that doesnt raid, im guessing the 2h is bis regardless. up until we get the dinars going
You’ll use that for atleast 2 months unless you’re hall of fame raiding and get lucky with a Best in Slots 2h drop
Dinars are coming with 11.1.5 tho
Thats like at least 2-3 months
ye but since im not raiding and if my luck keeps up from S1, i wont get any weapons in vault
Id craft weapon personally no matter what the situation is
@daring heron hello critcake, what embellishment are you running? also is arms or fury better in 11.1 thank you
@daring heron hello critcake, what embellishment are you running? also is arms or fury better in 11.1 thank you
is the Faq questions / talents updated here ?
Bro... Don't

no chance to have the bis 2h on the vault ? or i will w8 the dinar thing ?
@daring heron hi what do i buy with my Antique Bronze Bullion, which fire ring, or trinket or do i upgrade my axe??????????????????????
There's a chance if you do raid but from an ilvl perspective crafted weapon is always gonna be better till you get a myth track one
yes, but can i have the mythic bis in the vault ?
Nice nice
Unless you kill the boss on mythic that drops it it won't show up on your mythic slots
hi what do i buy with my Antique Bronze Bullion, which fire ring, or trinket or do i upgrade my axe??????????????????????
thanks for answer ! it's specifically for weapon and trinket ?
all items except tier pieces I believe
Bullion is for Dragonflight equipment, we're on The War Within already
Save your dinars for fyralath!!!
Don’t be fooled!!!!
sorry for the slow reply - was just wathcing it 🙂 Thanks!
oh glad i saw this
Anyone have data on the transition from old 4pc to new 2pc/4pc etc
haven't watched the vid yet so apologies if it is covered - but can i use the new builds with the old 4p right away? I would prefer to so i can get used to any rotational changes.
yes
Yeah I assumed the wowhead guide was right about when to break just wanted the data to maybe get prio
The tier sets don't really change our gameplay so send it
cool thx.
Hi all, I am new to arms. Any Tipps for me which abilities to macro together? Also I ready that we do not use rend and hit thunder clap instead. Is that info correct? Thx
no macroing together. very bad
no macro
youj can clap over rend for small loss in ST
also yeah you can just use tclap instead of rend to save a keybind if you want. tiny gain to rend on st
Thx guys
I’m averaging like 2m+ overall why am I still getting declined to +8s? This some warrior racism..
average wow player hates browns
Fuck this LFG simulation I’m gonna actually go play a game (MH wilds)
I feel that
On exec rota, it's MS with 2 stacks executioner's precision or OP with opportunist the prio ? It's not the same on wowhead and Warbreaker discord
A decent macro if you’re hurting for keybind space is add either rend or slam to your charge since you’ll either be in charge range or melee range so it will do whichever is appropriate
I like to use the impending victory/charge macro personally.
Doesn't that tend to use Rend/Slam anytime you charge as well? (at least on closer targets for example) Which wouldn't be really ideal, especially with Slam?
you missed 5 warrior keys 😦
?
I like IV as its own thing so I can see the CD on it. And it will if you spam the macro, if you 1 tap or queue up your first attack mid charge it’s okay, can be troublesome at minimum charge distance if you spam
if you're in melee range it uses that ability, if outside it charges
Put charge on charge
Put intervene on charge
Only for the bravest among you
Scaredy cats need not apply
i wonder if hc best-in-slots will be better than a 675 crafted wep
sim it
Yes a HC BIS is slightly better than a crafted wep
Burn it
I was prolly playing hockey when you guys ran it. lol
Now I'm just really tired and sore. We won 7-4 though. Made a couple huge glove saves.
hello ladies
do u think we will gona be nerf on wednesday ?
or other classe will get an up
I think we're fine. Yeah, we're strong but so are a lot of other classes.
good point
good point
good point
We made it to live but will we make it to raid start

Why do they not nerf shaman btw? I dont want them to but cmon... they were meta in all specs last season and are still in dps...
This would be the first time in like 8 years
I had to spend some valorstones as I got capped.
Deez
Was that out of the weekly zone quest?
went to check damage overall on cata

and we had a legendary axe that did significatly less than this
40 slams
40 slams and less than melee
I would venture to say yes
I'm kinda sad we didn't get buff to auto attacks
oppertunity strikes was the mastery r?
yes, a free swing on attacks. was weak. i loved it lol
it was like slayer strike before slayer strike
one of the major things I loved from vanilla was windfury....the classic windfury, where you just had like a 40% chance to one shot something
In DS gear it's gonna proc a lot cuz you have end of expac mastery
not very interactive though
yeah it isn't weak
it also procs rage
from the strikes
This is an opportunist proc right? Why does the blizzard proc indicator seem to be consumed/disappear when I use execute, even though I retain the opportunist proc on my buff bar?
Ok I was also looking at that, but I dont understand why it disappears every time I use execute lol
the visual doesnt last long as its meant for tactician procs


the 2 target rotation is the same of 1 target but with sweeping strikes right ?
yes
exe costs 40 and 40 rage is a decent chance to reset
The animation disappears but you retain the opportunist but after
i am learning
The animation only stays for like 2-3 seconds since it's a tactican proc not the opportunist buff
I didn't read that far when I replied 
its ok you said it in a much smarter easier to understand way. My brain cant type well thought out stuff as I am dumb
on aoe, collosus > slayer right ? So no interest to train slayer aoe rotation no ?
yes colossus has better aoe
What is the best simming race for s2?

what ever has the best mogs
vulpera
rofl.
Shameful
yo what the hell happened
11.0

🫃
what the fuck

Bro what
uhm, uhm..... guys
He is unaware
it would seem that i've made a great error
Lmao
lol

you all passed the test, congratulations
are sims borked? thunderlord's citrine is adding 100k dps for me
Ring is op
ye but everyone is playing the all stat one
I wonder when they will nerf it. Probably after race at this point ig
Dont ask me ask discord
When we get a few raid buff
🫃
if theres no tuning today I have a feeling we wont get any till after race
me when rwf have enough players to change rosters if shit gets nerfed on tuesday
it happened this tier. We got notes on the Friday before raid release. Unless im not remembering correctly
before m raid release ya
there is potential then!
I think we probably get more tuning on tuesday but not after
"they gotta nerf enhance!"

yes
take off that hat bud

poor guy is 4th instead of 1st for 15 weeks 😢
hey, maybe they just buff everyone else
didnt they say yellow was bad or?

what
though tier sets might even things out more
BM really low on that, and dont they get like 30% from their new tier set?

should i play yellow as alt
Rogue can be cool sure
Anything been mentioned on when we swap out tier pieces? Do we need to wait for full 4pc before swapping or go 2:2 when its available?
sim with robot, if robot say swap, trust robot
for m+ yea. for raid no
rogue so boring in raid
they wont spring it up on patch day they usually give time
im coping that maybe they just wait for tier set performance, which might even things out
is job streak still bugged on live btw?
I know arms is on paper higher dps, but for some reason I just can't get it, the rotation feels really clunky and all over the place, just me? Lol

maybe blizz will let us live like they did enhance
they have posted multiple times that they are happy where warrior is at
no, not just you. the spec is clunky
does alot of damage tho
When I send avatar. I get 4 sec Reck buff.. Why not 6 sec as per the tooltip?
My buff is 6 seconds
nevermind.. my bad.. it is 6 sec
On vexie, you are gonna use 2ST or Cleave talent ?
Probably just ST because adds are rarely stacked
hey, thinking of switching from fury to arms, anyone got any usefull WA's or tips? 🙂
Shut your ass up man

how can i create a WA that show rend icon with glow when the remaining duration is less than 6 seconds or the target has no rend debuff?
for now, i have 2 WAs positioned on top of each other.. first one for the remaining duration only and the other one show up when there is no debuff 😅
the trick is to steal a rend WA from someone else
Got this one: https://wago.io/bPZWWDJ2G
lol.. he is doing the same thing.. 2 WAs on top of each other 🤣
Ah, thats right! I just only read the 1st line of your comment xD
thanks anyway ❤️
new logs when you swap to 11.1
No Garms you have to goto 11.05
My tip is to be good at both. So many fights in raid are just better for fury cleave compared to arms
yeah fair enough, i feel like im good at fury, downed 4/8M and was getting ~90 parses
but the stat weights are quite diff to fury, guess ill just be practicing a bit! haha
I think for arms just expect to go a lot more slower, sit on a dummy for a bit and get to understand your procs and ms builders. @magic canopy Has a really good video for starting arms
With some pretty good was in the link
Oh i didnt mean to tag him whoops
He’s gonna ban me now
Madox for green
thats what ive kinda been struggling with, just finding out what to push and when as arms, i will def check out his videos, i learn a lot better off watching than reading haha
⚰️
ok so I thought the mastery was called grevious wounds, but its deep wounds. Did it change or did I just mandela effect myself?
lol
lol
Back to reality
hit us hard when our tier set is not that good 😦
But still sad
ready for the new critcake patch notes update video
amen!
Someone check critcake’s blood pressure over the past few weeks
Nooooo
blow up


how much of our dmg was execute anyways
They did it again, designing the raidfights around warrior and nerf warrior because of it
like none
lol nothing burger

I’m going back to fury
That would imply there’s a warrior dev
legs got 15% stronger
I mean lets be honest, they could have nerfed way harder
They will
lets just hope this is the only tunning we get
It wont be
this will be the last until RWF is over
link
we take this nerf, colossus closing in
Destro is getting buffed is sad these damn warlocks cant keep getting away with sandbagging
for buffs
Look at the news channel
from 3 big booms to 3 big dooms
We need to cry more
this is so fucked up actually
.
Tbh chaos bolt should be hitting like a truck, the fact they shyed away from that concept and tried evening out their damage profile felt off
Aaron Paul for 45 minutes in the lastest invincible episode
it kinda already did but if u instead did rain of fire u got a couple % increase
i dont think it warranted a fucking +%20
Weren't locks casting rain of fire on ST? That's how bad chaos bolt was at some point
Napkin math shows this tuning to be around 3.7%~
2.93 to like 2.82
w nerfs
nothing burger nerf
yee the nerf is gonna be small in the overall
we running it back tn
does this mean fury is simming higher now?
Arms gonna keep its power in M+ aswell cuz you rarely hit exe as colossus
Is enhance deadge at least?
nah prob not


All i see is a 3.7% colossus buff 😎😎😎😎
hi
arms is dead cant believe blizzard would allow brown man to be good for 2 picoseconds im rerolling ret for mythic prog new comp 20 ret
Arms is dead cant believe Blizzard would allow brown man to be good for 2 picoseconds im rerolling ret for mythic prog
arms is dead cant believe blizzard would allow brown man to be good for 2 picoseconds im rerolling ret for mythic prog new comp 20 ret
colossus even closer now to slayer 
arms is dead cant believe blizzard would allow brown man to be good for 2 picoseconds im rerolling ret for mythic prog new comp 20 ret
arms is dead cant believe blizzard would allow brown man to be good for 2 picoseconds im rerolling ret for mythic prog new comp 20 ret

hi crit
2 billion dps nerf. cant play brown class anymore
Are you suppose to MS>OP if ur stacks aren’t at 2 or if oppo isnt up?

warrior isnt allowed to have nice things
And now we want roar buffs, 50% increased damage
Let roar die
Haha
Bring back upfront damage
next patch they will buff all our non core abillities
increase spear crit dmg bonus to 70%. we gamble
Im sick of dot warrior!!!
What about huge bs
does the execute balance nerf mean were back to skullsplitter
Huge bullshit, that’s what blizzard’s current warrior theory is
u guys are fucking dense

No im solid
Wdym, warrior has exploded now?

Unplayably bad
Hahaha
Arms dead
Time to spam the forums
issa small nerf. but figured id ask anyway
its so fucking over
It's essentially like having an M6 Ellen and you just pulled for a M0 Miyabi
ALL TO THE FORUMS!
we are DONE
We need to cry a lot, it helps
fax frfr ong nc
wtf does this mean
dead and buried rerolled Ret right NOW
I can already smell the reddit posts saying “yes keep nerfing warrior@
he does not know
english please
About 6%~ if its a 3min execute sim
this nerf will be like 5 % st ?
wow head comments at goated
i do not dough bc i dont play hoyo
why cant we stay good for like 1 week ??? its becouse we are brown and shaman is blue??????
Lmao its not THAT bad
are you guys serious
Nerf in a 5 min patchwerk sim is around 3.7%~

What about exe sim
not much
But imo the point is they could have nerfed anything but our baby, the execute phase.
its ok
3.7% is huge

mages were untouched btw 
In a 3min execute sim, it's about 6% nerf. From my napkin math. I'm sure we'll get accurate/exact numbers when Archi or Fishy put in the numbers in sims.
For now.
There will be more tuning as the week’s go on, stop dooming
Sim results: ARMS OWNS
I mean fundamentally it’s not that but still hefty
augs complaining kekw

can't wait for first week of rwf
if a class is stacked hard they will nuke it out of orbit

Whenever i read wowhead comments i get an impulsive urge to take a shower
no u
lots of trolls who do rage bait in them
The nerf kind of bridges the gap between slayer and colossus, too. Plus we'll still be good in m+
wowhead rage is the best part of patch notes
lots of pp suckers for blizz and a few albeit angry but correct statements
Wait till they see Warr tiersets arent that important compared to some other classes KEK
Gotta treat the internet like someone you find physically repulsive: never look at the bottom half 😬
Enha finally got getting nerfed properly
wasnt bm really strong?
shamans had their season
they got a +%10 buff
see them in 20 years again
Ive never seen a positive comment on wowhead

Read the tier set nerf lol
It was doing 30% damage
For them
The tier set
It’s always some 20 year old arguing like a 50 year old or vice versa
They got a compensation because they nerfed their big tier set
The kind of people that go to reddit karma farming that they killed zekvir one week before season ends
Execute was finally good better nerf it!
Lmao
based on current sims, not 11.1 gearing or anything, it's about a 3.5% nerf
Wowhead comments are the players who legit just quest and “collect transmog” and cap out at +5s or whatever
Yeah, I mentioned it was around 3.7% when I napkin math it. The 6%~ number is for execute specific sims
it's bugged to all hell. one day, the boots were showing as main stat int, the next day they were str
its a good nerf honestly
not sure what's going on with it
they didn't touch MS yet, we are saved
with the nerfs to other top specs 15% is fine
How did ms not get touched?
because that would also hurt colossus more
amen
which doesnt need to be nerfed
Gentlemen I think you are missing the point, do not let this nerf distract you from warlocks sandbagging to get buffed
we must all work together to get warlocks nerfed
I wish we were kings of execute in a big way, I don’t care if we underperform everywhere else, having that niche felt good
Yooo garrosh
You’re here too
kek
So is the arms dream still alive or we deadge
How’s fart club
jumping between cataclysm and retail
lock is a very good choice for mop
lives bro
but I believe everyone should try mop warrior at least once in their life
Delete this rational post. Let’s watch the roaches panic
Yea ive heard the same
This 15% nerf isn't too bad right?
arms is still good, just not the spec of the patch
can't risk the execute spec excelling on the execute fights
im spreading the bait in fury chat arms channel is for rational smart people
werent we like 800k ahead of everyone on pure execute sims anyways?

I know right
There isnt another discord that have the same dps rivalry that warriors do
Maybe frost and unholy
lower pre-execute though so it evens out unless you have a really long execute
It’s like comparing grassfed organic steak to a maccas burger
yeah but we were literally the highest simming class overall its not the end of the world
it shows you guys have never played warlock
last 2 fights looking to be p3 lusts
no no it's fine, just memeing
there is nothing more hateful than a warlock player thinking about another warlock spec
arms was almost certainly near the top pre execute and miles ahead in execute, this is probably the most targeted nerf they could do with respect to the upcoming fights is what I'm thinking
Yeah the Maccas gaps
true
15% to execute, arms dead :C RIP boyz
mcdonalds kinda good in eu
Wanna see something funny
@smoky kayak yoooo actually a really nice nerf if Battlelord finally pulls ahead for colossus instead of Jugg
AFK spec for babbies simming good
anybody knows how much enh. got nerfed lul rip shamans ;D
Woulda been nice to have a single week but honestly seeing the logs out of people who were doing mythic the past week, I get it
it do be just like S2 DF
@severe haven
believe me when I say this was the best nerf we could possibly hope for
yeah I was expecting another lazy aura nerf tbh
not surprising, though I'm not educated as much as others on BM and sims I see the pattern
like 3% or something
bro i was gonna soft quit s2 but blord colo is legit
Ballsmaster
same
Still behind slayer but atleast colossus is finally taking blord in ST
ya that's fine. i like the mix of playing slayer in raid and colo in keys tbh
well colossus was already taking blord for keys
I'm a fan of arms having a place in keys instead of needing to side-gear for fury
gearing for both arms and fury isnt a big deal its just 1 extra weapon and a ring and neck
aren't we already playing Battlelord with Clossus?
Swapping all crit to mastery was a little rough
Archi is refering to ST colossus not M+
for raid
arms usually does have a place in keys tho. if you need more aoe you bring arms over fury. need st/survivability go fury
nah it's been pretty bad bc reverse stat prios
im just glad MS still does big fuck dam
oh no warrior is dead!!!
instead of it getting shot
got it
Let me rephrase, I'm not saying arms was bad in M+, but I had to run with guildies/premades. Trying to get into 12+ as arms through applying was a 45 minute endeavor
still a vacation season tho. wilds/fellowship too fun
that's prob not gonna change mate. unless you play one of the few meta specs you're gonna be in queue simulator
fellowship xdd
bro the damage of OP is surprisingly good
sim yourself the difference between stats is incredibly minimal. get different rings and a neck and everything else is negligible
OP might do more damage then Execute
if played properly now
nah arms is dead now
was a LOT easier to get in as fury over arms though. But trust me, I know
I mean it is called Overpower
back to fury
I was sitting on the target dummy for a bit and 6+ stacks on 4P had OP hitting as hard as MS
multitarget is, not single
different rings, neck, a trinket, and crafted weapon
granted, you don't gotta do that much, obviously it'd just be sub-optimal, but I'm simply glad I can avoid that lol
#updates-midnight not nearly as bad as it sounds, honestly kinda good in the long run
this is the colossus patch anyway, CF the armor set
I hope this will be the last nerf they know warriors gonna pump especially on the excutes phase for certain bosses during the raid but common another nerf while fire mage are still free
idk I think Warrior is in a pretty interesting spot where there is really no wrong choice on whether you play Arms/Fury in Raid or M+
its been like that for awhile
We will reach a point where there is no point to have 2 spec. Just 1 class 1 spec and multiple builds
This guy gets it.
can't believe they not touched fury
We back
show
what can I do now to start gearing now on a new alt? Beside rare farming
Fishy please please please don't make me play fatal on slayer
if you dont play ashen as arms then the nerf was far too severe
Don't do this

robot tells me to
SEND IT
its almost same as jug, likely gains to get to bury jug
just playing with slayer befor bedge
likely will deep dig tomorrow night/sunday day
Blord Slayer means fatality and my body can't handle it

and you would swap bb sks and op gives rage during execute
and maybe fatality
okay but imagine how good fatality is for prog
give me jugg over fatality please
pad
i mean build still dont play it now
jug still best
likely will still be best in raid given how last bosses seem to work
Fatality is bad cuz CDs work with it
I rather have Jugg than will my CDs line up with mark
Recent change with 11.1
making sure to proc ToM before an execute at 35%
Fatality scales with everything including mastery and cds
I was scared for a bigger nerf tbh XD
oh
are people planning to play slayer over colossus for raid at the start?
yes
Man i just wish we could have been allowed to be execute gods again for once
Wishing myself back to Antorus
That was fury not arms
Arms still is very very strong in execute
what the fuck is that
arms was peak during 8.3
realistically though, every class was so much fun during 8.3 lol
arms was peak during kiljaeden tos
The target on excecute specificly is understandable, since there are two big execute phase fights in this raid
as a new warrior , is colossus rotation similar ish to slayer for m+ ? im aslready a bit overwhelmed, wanna keep to 1 hero spec for now
its more buttons
so many buttons
just press stuff on cooldown
so.... fury is the way now for raiding ?
Do "your attacks" effects include harmful spells from casters
realistically, focus on learning slayer for ST, then slayer for MT while in the single target build (sweeping strikes, executing different prio targets, etc) and then think about how adding cleave changes the fundamental priorities there. once you are familiar with that, learning colossus will be pretty straightforward for you
just been testing in dungeons so far, im pretty behind in gear but i think my dps was respectable
hopefully
just gotta get used to my keybinds, and not being as tanky as my unholy
if you feel that way, you're probably doing well already. the fundamentals will carry you really far with a spec like arms where the floor is reasonably low but ceiling can be deceptively high
the nuances to when you should OP over MS, etc, are optimizations that you'll want to learn organically later but like all things, will come pretty easily for you in time as you learn to feel the throughput of rage / natural cycle of target switching and rage generation / expenditure
yes but nothing about arms vs fury, only slayer vs collosus no ?
fury was never in the convo wym
i was at 1.1mil average at 610 ilvl in a 8, probably not the best but im happy with that to start of, cant compare to my 640 unholy
just a weird switch between the 2
hey this is -15% to execute's base damage? or is it a modifier that's stackable with other execute daamage buffs?
these things always confuse me
because the answer didnt change from this nerf both are very strong. and have their own strengths and weakness. If you have to only choose 1 play whatever is more fun or comfortable. If you want to min max prog because your in a hall of fame guild you will play both
any specific WA you use ? i got the spell reflect one, doesnt seem to be working for me atm, not sure why
Y’all seen the BM stuff
we don't actually know how they're implementing it yet, but it would be multiplicative and therefore should come out to the same overall number either way
if they just reduce the AP coefficient, that would affect Protection too, so I'm inclined to think they're adding a new Arms specific modifier somewhere (probably in the spec aura)
but then again, their patch notes aren't always completely exact either so 
The Lebron of overreaction
Because it's -15**%** though, it doesn't actually matter; practically everything in modern WoW is multiplicative, with very few flat modifiers these days
tbf they're bitching about PvP more than PvE
ehh i only really care about keys so i'm biased in how i set up my UI, but the WAs i think will be most generically useful for you as you learn arms will be:
- generic stuff like any other class to easily keep track of defensives / utility / CDs
- something very obvious that tells you if you forgot to switch out of your d-stance flick (assuming you do hard content in dogshit m+ comps like my static where this is necessary 🙂 )
- plater or something tuned so that you can easily keep track of who is missing rend/deep wounds, and who has how many stacks of EP on them (SS + execute pops EP)
Personally I'd get used to watching cast bars w/ target-of-target to make intelligent use of SR in keys anyway. unless your reaction times are truly that fast and a WA without pre-thought works better for you
maybe that's fair then? i have no clue about anything pvp
I really hope it does
nuke it
war queens moment
I'mma be honest I still just...don't like these rings
Not right away.
if they nerf the circlet it'll prob be a few weeks in
Similiar to how the annulet was nerfed is how I imagine it but like

It's bewildering they've done this twice.
It's fine as long as it isn't like bis 2 months into the next raid
I get that idealolgy but I prefer seasons with a pretty clear fresh start
ive never shared that after growing up with cof
I also just...don't wonna go get it because siren's isle seems super boring and I'd rather smash my head into walls with D.R.I.V.E in undermine
the good ole cof days, gonna make me tear up
i yearn for galakronds evil eye
is that his butthole
I did nh every week every difficulty usedevery reroll, never got DoS till the week they nerfed it


i got it first week from the normal diff raid box
just turbo cranked
it was so poggers
damn thats fucked
thats insanely bad rng wtf
this is it for sure
nerfed the main spender and their Go's
I just swapped to arms from fury and they go and nerf the spec
me when the nerf was nothing
Umm ahktually it was not nothing it was 3.6%
🤓
A nerf is a nerf brother
you're stupid
Please continue with the reason
if all they will nerf is 3.6% and nothing else, it's a time to celebrate. Arms could've had its kneecaps broken for daring to be good and not a cloth spec
it changes nothing
dont get your hopes up buddy theres still tuning after rwf
Surely this nerf will placate their need to further nerf
a 3.6% nerf does not change anything if we are among top 5
i never said the spec is dead


It still is a nerf
I wasnt saying anything about being bottom tier
Yet your conclusion is to call someone stupid

"a nerf is a nerf" implying that the nerf changed any of our power
I think it just implies that it was a nerf.
which does nothing about our power
a 3% nerf is nothing
Ill leave you be
Which does little about our power. You're having an oddly strong reaction to this.
no keep going please
Sir.. please continue.
He gave up
It's over who cares, now you'd just be arguing for the sake of arguing
stop being silly arguing semantics in a class discord
Slayer still better than Colossus with the execute nerf?

Cool. I'm just happy I don't have to press Demolish. That ability would get me killed so damn much
How many stacks of Collateral Damage does it take to send out a Cleave in single target?
😭
2 questions
- if i'm 2/2 lethal blows and EP and i have 20-29 rage or MS is on cool down, do I send another execute or overpower?
- how does execute work in SS
2
Lethal blows is not something you keep track of here now. unless you meant to say MP and EP stacks
until we replace tier set i mean
even with tier
you dont track it anymore
it doesnt matter
the whole reason we did track it in execute was because MS was piss weak
and it was not worth sending MS until x2 LB and x2 EP
ah true i just reread the wowhead
hypothetically, is there a world where we run colossus for carnage or is the cleave window too short to properly benefit from it
I assume this is a boss fight with adds that spawn
adds generally dont ever live long enough your better just taking the 1 point into cleave or going fury
nah carnge is the one where bosses are split for like 85% of the fight then clash for 20 seconds once max energy is hit
i think it's one energy energy a sec but dont quote me on that
oh cauldron
bosses are split most of the fight why would yo go colossus
its a ST fight with a splash of 2T
im unsure where to ask this question. im very new to raiding on a warrior have only been mage for 8 years but my guild needed a warrior. based on what archimtiros said is arms still best for raid if i only have 1 set?
both are strong if you have to choose one choose whats more fun to you. If your min maxing for prog your gonna play both
ill probably end up min maxing because we are shooting for HoF. can both be played even without perfect stats? like for mage it was easy because arcane and fire shared stats. but i couldnt really play frost without crit
Is Arms still above Fury on Sims or Fury taking over ?
warrior likes all stats theres not a single stat you hate. you can comfortablely switch between the two. At most you need different rings and neck and +1 weapon which is not a big deal to keep up with
ok perfect thank you for the info! doesnt sound bad to keep up at all
dont need to min max spec to get hof
just need good execution

it did fit the bill of the day lol
How can I stay small when I play a spec called Arms with big arms
Average Fury enjoyer bulling humble Arms enjoyer
thats true actually
you either hate fury with a passion to rival god himself or you adore it to pieces and will never play another spec
I feel that but not with a certain spec, I feel that with warrior
the only fury i adore was the first iteration of havoc in legion
exactly
I am changed. For I see beyond the warrior
Into other classes
It also makes me cringe
what are you, oppenheimer
im just a mage one trick that somehow ended up on warrior
i am become alter, destroyer of parses
Why would you do that
Mage is so much more fun because you do real damage evrey season
yea but your rl also forces you to do mechanics
because we had 3 mages and no warriors for our new comp lol
And how many melee/hunters
it begins
Is arms still better than fury after the 15% execute nerf?
meh, barely the same, the execute nerf seems to be bc of how OP arms was in execute phase this week, ppl still have that 5% damage given in ptr.
In a vacuum in pure single target, AM slayer fury is probably very slightly ahead now
But reality is not a vacuum, nor is it generally pure single target
So which spec will most likely be the go to for the raid? Or will it be fight dependant?
fight dependent, also you'll need to check sims
just because a fight is pure ST or is largely ST, doesn't mean you will play the optimal spec
things like your gear, your comp, and most importantly your skill level will play a much bigger factor
if you're a good Arms player and can use add spawns to refresh and stack your Juggernaut, you'll come out on top
Based on these comments is arms likely to be the better pick in m+?
both are good
Arms owns hard
Is arms dead
Seems like people really struggle with this tbh
