not as far as I'm aware; more likely you're seeing another source of damage happen at the same time or some kind of enemy shield/etc
Nah, literally i can see it in the sim and details
are you hitting more than 8 targets with it?
Nope, it was against the single target
why don't you share what you're seeing with the class then, instead of trying to vaguely describe it?
ive had some weird things with demolish with Y axis but never it hitting low numbers
I mean there's no shot you're simming a 180k mortal strike unless your ilvl is <600
maybe you're looking at reap procs triggering from mortal strikes, idk
it'd be helpful if you'd show us the thing you're confused by, because otherwise we can only guess
That also sounds like a damage reduction effect. Specifically something like first boss workshop.
yeah, or the last section of trash, though this guy insisted it's represented in sims/details as well, which is super sus
Bro just wanted attention

Gonna ask this here and in #fury . Which between fury and arms for m+? THoughts? Reasons? For the record I am prot main spec
Fury thane is good for lower keys or keys with less mobs
Colossus arms for higher keys and bigger packs imo
Easy to learn both they aren’t really that hard
what kinda crit threshold am i lookin at before i make the swap from fury?
just swap you dont need to get a specific gear set
gotchu, just felt worse with my small crit % with haste/mastery gear
Thanks! Interesting to hear
The game was feeding me mastery gear so I stayed fury till I got 4pc and swapped when I had about 25-30% crit but like sponge said not really a hard crit requirement it’s not a fire mage
if MS resets, do I still get 2 EP and then use MS?
if you are playing ep then ye
outlaw kinda sauced
Can anyone tell me what M+ build is currently the strongest atm for Arms?
colossus
dobule rogue warr comp back?
no war no monk
ok cool, appreciate you
Outlaw currently playing Killing spree so chance of death is high


warrior arm
Rogue been bis this whole expansion but no one seems to care
Hey all!
I need some help about dungeon route simming.
When i try to use dungeon route sim, it gives me an error : Error: Unexpected parameter 'Shaynemail:87160108:Humanoid|War_Lynx_1:29053369:Beast|War_Lynx_2:29053369:Beast'. Expected format: name=value
this data generated from mdt addon with mdt sim wa and i don't understand how its format is wrong.
Probably im doing something wrong, i was using route sims 2 years ago but i forget it a bit i guess.
I haven’t seen them talked about by anyone all season but damn everytime I’m with one they have been pumpinnnng.
I didn’t even know this was a thing but now I’m interested lol
Sounds like maybe you need to update your MDT add-on maybe data wrong, or just follow instructions correctly
Note MDT simming is nice, but kinda scuffed sometimes for comparing talents and trinkets (it sends on cd sometimes end of packs etc whereas you would save it) so still do some st and 6-8t Sims to compare stuff
If im not wrong the only difference from video on mine is i was using gear compare instead of top gear if it changes something
Yeap checked again now
Idk maybe re do your route, make sure it's not got any blank pulls in it
Also I wouldn't probably use priory its a very pad heavy dungeon to compare talents/gear
Use something with like a mix of small and big pulls maybe rookery/darkflame
I just took random raider io route to try it out if it works but same things happens. I miss something but can't find it.
Hi all asking again because I didn't see a response the other day. When I follow the normal m+ rotation it seems like ravager has fallen off when I'm at the end of my big collateral damage sweeping strikes phase
Is that how we are supposed to play it, and just raw dog the big cleave with no ravager down ?
Rav is 8 seconds buff. So make sure you cast sweeping strikes before and start stacking until you have 7 sec left on sweeping, than just pop rav and all cd’s
The extra movement from the new backpack is actually so useful
Thought it was a gimmick till I started using it in dungeons lol
hey yall, starting to dust the cobwebs off my Mag'har orc arms warrior. are there any cooldowns that can be macro'd together? 2 or more abilities in a single button would be amazing
I have charge/intervene/self heal what’s it called all on the same bind
i use this. its because im lazy, not because its optimal.

what the bis weapon macro?
Uhh, I would assume you could use the name or the slot.
dont read trickster
cluegi
gotta keep some mickey mouse buff
its so cancer
kush died like

cause of it
xdd
guys, does SS work on cauldron of carnage?
ya
outlaw lmao
who cares
cringe spec
sub no longer bp on st = good hero talent
It’s just a ui bug, you only get one. I hover the trinket in the character panel to see witch one is active
Usually just leave it in ST the AoE one seems to be pretty weak when I used it atleast
Rip pugs
lmao
I like it!
id like to be able to filter specific difficulties though
hopefully they add that or maybe its there and I havent figured it out yet

ur now 1 bad parse away from never getting into a pug again XD
rik is a ST fight for arms?
On normal and heroic, yeah.
not everything can be parried
you can sweeping strikes
could go Colossus if you really wanted to go all in on barrel damage 
This might actually be the most toxic addon released 😵
is the wowhead bis list actually the best set up? when i sim i dont use the circlet ring
its the best setup assuming you can get all of them
bugger, ahwell gotta keep simming and saving random gear for now 😛
which unless u reclear 2000 times u prob wont get
or are tmy
post-nerf circlet can be replaced w/ a good mythic ilvl ring
ah right, cause atm i have a mythic bloodoath signet and a champ jastor diamond
Well their hero tree forces them to take it sooo
worth the bricked 11
so
Blademasters torment has GOTTA be
worth more then 1 point in Cruel strikes
for m+
or at least warlords
uhhh yeah whos saying its not?
yeah no one is playing cruel strikes
yeah right now the only variation I see is EP/FB vs 2BB and Warlords vs Blademasters
we dont want Tom dont bring him up
doesnt even fit well with slayer cuz fucking SD doesnt count as consumed rage
ur tree is omega cooked
if u had any points in cruel strikes 
aware
last I checked it was 9%
okay what if sd gave rage to tom
not my problem exhil procs 5 times in a row

what if tom didnt exist
that would be cool i think
very cool
you only had that in execute
i love when the actual cd comes after my cd
only time arms is fun anyways
real
but bring back df ww
the one we have now is so sad
oh boy I get 2 seconds of CS and TOM stacking together
you never press that button
If its not a full on brand new vision rework like MM idc
not a 20% dmg increase for 20s on a 1:30
Arms has needed God for awhile now
ppl just forget that because they like seeing the big numbers right now
its a lil degen that all our aoe is cleave and whatever we press inbetween cleaves doesnt really matter
why
we arent a press st spells while x buff is running to deal aoe
having a dedicated aoe spell is fine
when the kit revolves around it
like it does now
bring back ww
nice bait
what
ill take cleave over dreadnaught
any day
spamming op to deal aoe damage is fucking cooked
idk I dont think its a massive deal just a lil degen. Like things like DN should be better and maybe adding something like S2 DF tier set to MS giving a lil frontal cleave to it. I always feel weird about pressing ST buttons in AOE.
bait
im serious
do i have to get out of bed to upload the log
i will forget
someone has to remember
colossal might
never falls off
cd never falls of
make demolish less cbt
and colossus is good
whats wrong with old ww
100%
11s crank
df
rhe massive rage dump
sos was good
that cranked
I miss it so much
COLLAT
30S CD
MAKES UR NEXT CLEAVE HIT 400% HARDER
CINEMA
SOS BACK
OR EVERY WB
MAKES UR NEXT CLEAVE HIT FOR 400% MORE
holy
hoooly cinema
now make it off gcd aswell so you can macro it in and call it a day
cold blood type shit
i fw that
if your cleave did 0 dmg sounds like you just missed it
my details didnt shoot up to 10m dps at that instantaneous second so gg
where demolish
Fact would be nice
is mister lock n stalk trinket any good in its multi target mode for m+
didnt do much for me
Is there a way to track Cleave/MS resets with a WA?
Mhmm yes, 50 million cleave crits
Yeah, default blizzard action bars do it, so weakauras can too
hey 🙂 I suck at arms in m+ and I dont exactly know why :/ sticking around 2.5M dps (TOP +12 e.g.) where I am getting told I need to have at least 3M as arms. Wasnt about the pulls imo... were quiet huge. Anything I need to check in my details to see if I am dogshit?
Did u die?
nah
top overall will always be lower
not much we can tell you without any context to what your skill level is. Best we can do is tell you to review guides. I suggest watching gameplay of really good players like Critcake or Bizentein and comparing it to yours
is it good ST dmg with this gear?
suspicious
using an heroic wep over crafted also sus
Does the tier only give 2% haste or is it 2% haste per stack of winning streak?
ty
I think they salvaged it well from the cursed ptr version
i crafted one-hand weapon i was prot main
now i can't decide should i wait 2 week to craft two-hand weapon or make one more embellish slot
what is
only the crafted weapon but makes sense if you made a prot weapon
is there a crit % arms wants to be at or does it not really matter
Why does the wowhead page and bloodmallet show different gear as bis?
where does bloodmallet claim to have a bis list
where does it say bis
Why wouldn't bloodmallet sim in bis?
idk they're maintained by different people and bis lists are kinda fake anyways
guide writers are forced to make those since they generate alot of clicks
Weird, makes me unsure whether to catalyze a chest or helmet now
improvised trinket with house of cards is always better sims than eye of kezan/house of cards
why
eye gets better the longer the fight is
These bis lists are usually representitive of content and not absolutes.
one is purely crafted/raid gear. Other is purely dungeon gear
oh shit
simulationcraft it
I didnt even notice it was just dungeon gear
- dinars/crafted/catalyst
okay that makes more sensee

Any idea why this doesn't work on this char? On other alts this works as intended. (Showing my mains score)
Can't be. My mage has 0 score
yea

maybe last season rating is enough
Hmm this may be a thing
they just cant track every character or the addon would be 20gigs
Yeah makes sense

Hi, I have a question: When simulating, how do you set the SimC Version? Weekly, Nightly, or the latest?
I use latest
does he usually give you precise data?
precise..., I mean close enough
Sometimes APL changes are made and corrected, so I just use weekly
its good enough for me
ok thank you so much to both of you 🙂
I need some feelycraft advice. I main fury, got a mythic track wep in vault, although I did craft a 2H with ascendance.
In a key, could 3ilvl on main hand beat the ascendance bonus ? Sims says no ofc, but I don't know about reality, dropping stacks, downtime etc
Yes
@snow flame this guy only 6 ilvls above me but trashing me on dps.. idk what key you avg 4m but you got me considering reroll lol
giant ass penis ass having ass swinging it on my forehead
when in doubt cleave it out
do people pop cds before pull on cauldron mythic? some logs of arms dudes manage to get cds like 7 seconds after the clash
yea
pop ava ~10s before pull
You can pop them 12s before pull to make them line up
thx guys, just feels so bad when BL also starts with pull 
💔
rings better than circlet, or weird sim?
possible
aight
did blizz fix the cinder jump skip ? i just tried it and now cant jump higher than like a quarter of normal jump height and it looks like im hitting an invisible roof
replaced by cleave if spec in
Ehm?? If u are fury mythic weap oh
cleave
cleave
it replaces ww
left on the arms talent tree
theres zero reason to ww as arms. if u want aoe u spec cleave. if u need to cleave in st u bs or sweeping strikes prio targets
ahhhh.. so if we take cleave it removes whirlwind and replace
OKAY OKAY
I GOT IT
bring df ww
LOL
the only reason ill ww is if hell freezes over and im forced to use it to stack ToM
What
U said u had 2 weapons of high quality why not use both?
Still takr weapon for fury?
No for arms
sim recraft for dusk/dawnthread
So when u got 1 more craft
U can
when u dont need st in raid then swap to 2x linings
how do you manage demolish with warbreaker
So in 2 weeks craft the 2 pieces
demolish in wb window
myth weapon + 2 lining is better on st
for arms
Removw acendance from weap change off piece to dawn//dusk
and aoe
Ok let me rephrase it
Is no ascendance but 3ilvl more worth even if it sims less for now in keys as arms, bcos of downtime and dropping ascendance stacks
Not recrafting or anything
so when you start to pack you don't wb instantly
u craft weapon cause of fury and its ur highest impact slot
so u get the most power early on
Sim it?
oh ur just gonna raw dog it? then id think not
Yea you're trolling me
it sims less
no way to know
what else do u hav ein vault
if its between socket or some random piece and weap take weap
#trusttherobot
Well check ya uptime in keys?
how are u opening the vault now wtf
not everyone plays 247 buddy
But in gen id wager the higher the keys the better acendance
Unless u die
As u bring a big stack into bosses
lining is always better
does TC apply rend intellegently? (apply to mobs w/o it)
Why do you talk about sims or vault, when the sentence says : I have the weapon, and I wanna know how it compares knowing things you CAN'T sim
I don't talk about lining
or a lot of walking like top
My point
its so close
Bcos it sims higher, but sims are 5min no movement constant, not hectic m+ pulls
if the dung has a lot of downtime play myth 2h idk
Thus the question
lining with any myth 2h is better at everything
its just a matter of getting the 2t
2h*
big weap go burr what else needs to be known ?
Well linin is also simmed so if we talkin feelycraft
Never talked about lining but whatever
its not about ur question anymore
we just assumed that in general principle the linings were implied
u dont really
as long as the uptime isnt horrendous
which it shouldnt be
cause u are a warrior
its better
i went writhing acsend because i lost the week one lotto so now i have big axe but next spark im swapping to lining.
vers bsl for me is like
almost 1.5% increased dmg
thats how useless embellishments are
reason why u craft ascend is cause weapon is the highest impact slot and it helps with early prog
if u dont get one week 2 obv
but even then u could craft it for fury
since there is no reason to play arms this raid except mugzee maybe
675 crafted weap is less than 1% downgrade from full upgraded mythic BIS so im sitting nice even if weapon shows up in vault
1.5k vers 
Without weapon
embellishments fell off so hard
100% embellish needs.a buff
did blizz scale them at all ? i think might still be s1 value's completely
no
well at least we have corruptions coming back to save us

Good day guys, what mode we play Mister Lock-N-Stalk trinket?
precision for st
does raidbots track the special effect of best in slots?
i have a 658 best in slots but got a hero track cicruit breaker, im bout to sim it at 665 but idk how accurate it'll be
ye why wouldnt it
idk in the past sim hasn't always tracked special effects correctly
That usually would be the case very early on when the effects were a bit ambigious
Like Gavel from Jailer
Correct
It also correctly plays around having an on-use trinket included in the sim, if you got one
neat, i do not unfortunately
Well they both incur the trinket CD, so you could argue it's fortunate
trinked cd's are brutal
im p sure like the only reason things like improvised seaforium pacemaker or whatever isn't good is bc of the cd being 2 mins
just dont line up w cds
I could be dead wrong though
if it were 2.5 mins it'd be better
Pacemaker is good?
It's also not an on-use trinket, and the passive cycles every 1 minute
You're likely thinking of Signet from Priory
idk, it pretty much always has
i was reading signets desc but was looking at the pic of pace
maybe when a patch or expansion is very new (as in, the first week) something will be broken, but certainly not by this point
or if it's a fairly obscure effect, like world quest only drop that isn't obtained at a high enough level to normally care about
good to know :u
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/27Ct6MFonxesA7efKcBw1M
Is that normal ? ppl say have BIS weapon and 2 crafted gear is better but my sim says the opposite
BiS at 678 yes
Not 665

tyvm !
hey guys couple questions for m+ colossus rotation
- without EP, do we overpower before execute?
- with overpower proc, do we press that over ms?
- in aoe opener i usually see people ravager before demolish, could we instead use ravager as the last cd so we have more mbg time?
thanks! tactitian i think is the name
oo ok
and its because if you send ravager after demolish
you have less time with mbg due to haste from cs
wait cs gives haste?? brb google lol
in for the kill
oh i didnt realize it always gave at least 10%
you could do it
i dont see why not to still ravager last tbh
if you are trying to go for one big cleave
but the duration is shorter so you can fit in less cleaves
which usually leads to less damage
ravager duration gets reduced with haste
if its just demolish or ravager first, if we cast ravager first, dont we spend some mbg time casting demolish?
and all of this is always after warbreaker right
ty btw didnt realize the duration reduced
ideally you should always open with:
charge cleave tc rav cs demo at 10
ohh dang you cleave that early
ill go target dummy and just try ravager early tbh i still dont see it but maybe i just have to try it more
thx gio
I usually charge -> TC -> cleave. How much of a DPS loss will that be?
doubt its much. its my go to because im used to charge, rend, roar from raiding
both are fine, some like 2x bloodborne more because it's a little more dummy (no confusion over Exe)
I actually found it weirdly more rage starved since you do occasionally use OP during AoE though
1 BB / 1 BSurge is also an option if you really want the extra rage though
you fit in less cleaves but you also have a faster GCD which means you get more cleaves
overall it should work out about the same
idk if it's just my haste/crit not being high enough or some other factor, but x1 bb and bsurge has consistently simmed higher than x2 bb for me
Either way I do find it more comfortable though, running out of rage is a pain
they're all pretty close, so likely some gear flucutation
M+ is not an environment which lends itself to exacting sims though, so I really wouldn't think too hard about it
that +/- 1% difference isn't going to actually translate in an environment as chaotic and constantly changing as M+ anyway
Yeah, I figured that'd be the case. I'm not too worried about it, I doubt it'll matter at most levels of play
It does also sim better in single for me though, at least it did last time I did a st sim
I mostly do dungeon slice sims though, since m+ is my focus and my computer struggles so much in raids that fps fluctuations affect my dps more than any talent loadout ever could

dungeon slice may be a little weird, since the APL doesn't try to hold cooldowns for it
it kinda simulates a dungeon in which you just blow everything on CD, rather than explicitly time for big packs or w/e (which arguably is more realistic for the majority of players in average keys, even if it's not necessarily optimal)
yknow I was curious if there were better ways to sim for m+ since I don't know much about how it works behind the scenes
Min maxing how you use collateral will determine how much dmg your gonna put out in overall
but mostly I just need it to be good enough to compare different talent setups and gear
nobody really wants to go through the effort of creating a truly dynamic action list which holds CDs for certain timings or pack sizes, it's really, really a lot more complicated than it sounds
and historically doesn't actually change results all that much either, even if the resulting damage number may seem a little more right
oh I don't doubt that at all
90% of the value for 10% of the effort is more than fine by me
it's a funny little thing, cause it's easier said than done - saving Collateral for fresh packs is smart until it stops lining up with Warbreaker/Ravager and then you're left in this awkward position of using an unbuffed Cleave or sitting on Cleave's cooldown for who knows how long
Simming for m+ is like a religion at this point
also as an aside, is there a good way to see how much extra damage you're getting from collateral damage from logs
not super familiar with them
yeah its not easy at all and very situational
the important part of simming isn't really to get the most accurate number for what you're trying to do - that's more of a byproduct
the point is to establish a common baseline which you can then adapt to whatever you're trying to do, because there are simply too many situations these days to come up with a truly accurate sim for each
but if you can get away with it, its very strong
Mythic stix... Worth even going arms for it?
if adds just get obliterated and you wanna pump boss with slayer sure
every once in awhile, but I don't really sim multitarget that much in general
only things I ever really look at with multitarget sims are trinkets and occasional stat plots
I just find it rude for some people here saying slice is bad and should never be used
Just discrediting the work put into it
I wouldnt say its bad its just should not be taken 100% literally which a lot of people do
they Sim and dont even think
no idea with logs sry but as an alternative i got a wa that shows me how much damage an ability did so i get feedback on how big cleaves were or not
my record is 83m 😄
like I was saying before, since there's no dedicated slice support, it kinda just acts like a player who pops everything on CD without holding for big packs or special pulls
which is certainly less optimial from a min/max perspective, but arguably even more realistic for the majority of players in average keys
Exactly my point, I think simming dungeon slice is still “good enough” with respect to trinket/gearing decisions
Which is all you need
and that's another layer to consider w/ sims - are we simming for whatever is most optimal, or for what is most realistic? This is a question I run into a lot when it comes to implementing really niche tech that is technically an increase, but places disproportionately more burden on the player trying to execue it
I could be wrong, but I think because during smash you generate stacks for demolish when using mortal strike, and ravager auto procs mortal strike every other tick, you will go from 0 to 10 stacks much faster for the big demolish uncapped AOE. Thats how I see critcake do it
In big pulls you can be doing 14M dps
Branch v ashes amirite
If you wait around too long for stacks, you might miss an opportunity for max damage
that is super helpful ty
i havent thought of it as a way to get stacks tbh
only as an mbg buff
thank you for that i have posted one
appreciate it
Hey guys, remnant of darkness trinket worth using at all for M+?
i've simmed and its a huge downgrade for me but just curious if it has its uses?
It does what it says on the tooltip and it does it poorly
its just bad
dang 
Im more of a sim ST then sim AOE and make an educated decision of what you want more from there instead of using Dslice. I dont think its bad I just dont think its worth doing over patch work simming
Hi all, I for some reason I cannot cast Heroic Leap and I would like to know if anyone has faced this and fixed this. Whenever I try to leap I always get this message.
- I am not using any macro
- I've disabled all addons (including WA addon) and still get same message
- logged out, logged in different toon, logout and log back in warrior
any feedback to fix the glorious leap would be helpful
Anyone got a video for arms mythic plus
try untalenting and retalenting it
Are you on a roof? I saw something in forums saying it was bugged or something
I've heard that as well but no I'm not on a roof atm
I've even left Dornogal to try to test this
Is there any chance that Windsinger's Citrine doesn't sim correctly? I have simmed it when it was giving me haste, and when it was giving me crit by modifying my gear before I equipped it and both times it had the same numbers. Also it's losing dps to Legendary's Citrine via sims by about 5k
no clue all I can think of restart the game or try it as a cursor macro
restarting the game as the cursor macro is not working either
and its just leap thats broken you can do everything else fine?
yeah - precisely
so weird
I feel like a dk in keys with no leap
ive had leap bug out like that before but just restarting or reloading has always worked
Whelp you're officially demoted to a dk lol
looks like it 😦
hey all
is this okay for m+
also am i spending OP before MS or Cleave and if im in say aoe and i have 1 stack OP and MS is up but i would have to wait for cleave do i send MS with the OP proc or wait for cleave to come up and send a slam in the mean time
same question for single target but the other way around
is ret pala better for PI over arms warrior? 😛
3+ targets Cleave > MS > OP > TC
2T MS > OP > CLEAVE
ST MS > OP > SLAM/EXE
Which of the 2 specs wins in pure ST now? fury?
Reckon its worth tracking Colossal might ?

not allowed to spin unless this was Slayer


if you can make a pepe casting demolish, I'd be all for it
what is like, the expected damage i should be doing on arms with hc prog? ik theres a lot of questions that need to be answered for that but ive literally grey parsed every encounter so far and we are at gally. but my damage is still in-line with the other dps. also this is my first time really raiding or trying to improve in wow so im sure theres a lot of info im missing but i feel like i should be putting out better dps
Not really something we can tell because we dont know your gear or anything
practicing and executing your rotation perfectly and maintaining uptime on boss as much as possible is about 97% of your dmg
if your doing both of these things well you should never be below a purple parse
deswind owns
yea was running through simc real quick to share 😛
but again refer to what I said early
for example this is my normal logs, left isnt sorted by ilvl while right is
but on heroic im getting no where near the same numbers
Without seeing logs Im just gonna assume there are a bunch of rotational mistakes
Or just lots of empty / unused gcds
heroic fights are longer and there are more mechanics, both lower dps.
Not really no
ive looked at wowanalyzer at the timeline and some things im not really sure how to decode lol. like this for example was at the start of a pull but ive heard that you want to apply exe early for the buff
im almost certain that wowanalyzers timeline is broken actually since all my errors have that as a message for essentially any ability
like surely slam isnt a prio over refreshing jug here right?
@lean geode
No not really, you press exe whenever one of the three conditions for exe apply
Pressing exe for no reason does not gain anything
should i link my warcraft logs for heroic in general since logs are broken up into a few different ones
yea, that makes sense
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/gyTCmTEQoWj7zUqh9Svopw heres the right sim lol
Your gear is fine besides using dogshit kujo trinket but where is your second embellishment?
But again after seeing this your problems are most likely rotational and uptime issues
when you say second embellishment what exactly do you mean, sorry again still learning all this stuff
So notice how you put the Ascendance mod on your weapon
That's an embellishment you can have two
Specifically with ascendance you want the writhing armor embellishment to buff it
ok so does that mean i want writhing armor on a non-weapon piece of gear then? i think when i originally looked at archon for the weapon craft it only had 1 embellishment listed
world server down?
oh im just dumb, i see
Prob only had the one because we didn't have the sparks to craft wep + 1 armor till this week
Do we have a crit breakpoint we need to hit
but also i guess that wouldnt matter if i would have been held back by sparks loool
no
I would focus on getting your info from any of the guides in DPS FAQ using archon alone won't give you the full picture
yea that would def help, and also for uptime / rotational error what is like, a feasible % for most ability uptimes? like on our mugzee kill i have a few 90-100%, a few 70-80%, and a lot of 50-60%
i assume i wanna shoot for 90% usually?
all depends on the buff/ability; it's really not that universal
i see, well thanks for the help everyone, its a lot to take in lmfao
Meant more as time spent hitting the boss and having no empty globals than buff uptime
Which will vary depending on mechanics but a lot of new players tend to play extra safe when they could be cheating a whole lot more on a lot of mechanics which adds up over the fight
yea that actually makes sense, i do find that the balance of doing mechs / surviving / doing damage is hard to get down
survival is always more important
yea i try to prioritize living then doing mechs then dps
but it just feels like and is 100% me just playing badly
Truth but as you get into wanting to min max your dmg more learning what you can and can't get away with
not wrong, but that makes up like.. the last 10% of your damage
But yeah if you are progging a fight as a guild survival trumps all you can hyper min max your dmg once your on farm
not the 80-90% which is just gear, rotation, and timing
Always felt like it's more important than gear because at the end of the day just getting high ilvl matters more than specific items or stats most of the time
w/ Reck is fine
how about as colossus arms ?
Well, gear makes up a huge difference until it doesn't, once you get within the same range as everyone else then it; excepting a few pieces (weapon, overly emphasized trinkets) of course
if you're using another on-use trinket, can macro it w/ CS, WB, or Ravager
if you're not, then you probably just wanna time it with Avatar or Ravager
Ravager is probably your best catch-all
nice ty
yes i got lucky, got house of cards with avoidance on weekly!! so ill macro it with cs/wb
no
do best in slot got any aura that tracks what seconderies it proc ?
Cards syncs perfectly w/ Avatar, so prioritize that and then use Slots with Ravager - there's a sample macro in #1237307732705415228, just replace Reck w/ Ravager
there's a buff, but it's not something you need to pay any attention to
ty arch! you rock ❤️

Technically slam is prio over exe without jugg/SD conditions but yeah there's a bug with SD duration being tracked in the APL check there because the SD buff has some weird log event stuff
In short, some things are manually handled by dedicated modules (like execute usage for slayer fury) and some are automatically handled by event processors (like the arms rotation check)
That's also why those inefficient cast messages are weird - they're automatically generated based on the APL conditions. So "...because don't your target was below 35% HP" comes from the condition.not(condition.inExecute()) in the code, which is needed because both simc and wowhead guides have separate APLs for above and below execute range, but wowanalyzer only supports a single APL. That example isn't actually that crazy in terms of wording, but the mfe/sd/jugg execute one, opportunist, etc can get a little wacky
I'm aware of the issue with SD duration but frankly it's of relatively minor consequence and it's rather tricky to fix because of the log events I alluded to. It's definitely possible and I do plan on it, but I've been busy
DO I have to warbreaker before demolish? (sry new to class and spec)
Or just whenever i'm at max stacks
You own
You too king
hey do you send cds as the come up or hold to match up with other cds aside from demolish and warbreaker that is as i assume that is one that you would do 😄

also do you send to OP for 30% on next ms or cleave or just 1 stack
You don't save demolish for WB, no. You might send it a couple stacks early if WB will otherwise end before you reach max stacks, but not a huge deal
Just follow the priority regardless of OP stacks
Generally just use on cd since they'll desync from each other anyways, unless a pack is about to die
okay thank you i have been saving demolish to line up with warbreaker
Ah ok thanks
is it just avatar with rav/storm toigether?
Bro Ho-Lee!!
That tank must have pulled like an absolute unit
And you owned ofc
When do you wana break the old tier 4 set? do i wait till i can make 4p of new set or can i rock 2p/2p?
Can go 2+2
I personally just went with ilvl until I hit 4p, but 2+2p is probably better/sims higher.
aweosme thank you
how do i format a timer for before pull in note ?
Do you force Colossal Might stacks during execute? Or just normal rotation...
I don’t see a world where you won’t be at full stacks every time demolish is up
You just normal rotation and it will hit 10 fast
I mean... If you press MS you reduce Demos CD. But iam not pressing MS on CD, just with 2 EPs.
Of course you press Demo with 10, but iam thinking and reducing the CD
But i think i got my awnser. Since you only press Demo with CS you dont need to force stacks that much.
arey ou awake
Hey all! Just started playing arms! Is there a spark priority on what I should craft? I dont care about raid just m+... I main bdk but just finished getting all 13s and there are barely any 14s listed so time to learn an alt!
weapon > vers/crit lining
So 675 wep with acendance? then a lining?
Fiend
ty
What’s up you joining 😆
nah im hearing your mage player is a debbie downer lol
sim noob question. ST sim has me changing my gems + enchants to prioritize haste since i just got an upgraded neck with a ton of crit. dungeonslice has me keeping my same gem / enchant set up. any advice what i should go for?
I'm getting tired of target # capped with fury... trying out arms today.
wowhead M+ talents good?
i figured i'd go wit the ST gem / enchant set up since i prioritize raiding
yeah
slayer? colossus? I'm about to run some M+s XD
because demolish?
it does damage 🙂
what's the advantage of slayer tho
none
dang
still goes to colossus
oh yeah haha im a colsus enjoyer
do what you enjoy the most but colossus just does better
As a new arms war, what is the most important tip to keep in mind in keys? I am reading the guide for the 100th time so I have the basic tutorial knowledge.
press buttons on cd
Super helpful
ignore pain was never buffed to match everything else going into TWW
Nahh, they killed it in tww
its very bad
thoughts on mythic+ build for mythic stix?
unnecessary just play ST with cleave and call it a day
if you need add dmg you should just lean into playing thane fury
That's the problem with fury... as you push keys u just keep getting outdone by other classes that don't need to worry about target # capped
is thunderclap only way to apply mass rend :o?
yes
Speaking of mass rend, anyone else notice it's not applying to all the mobs in the thunderclap.
what's auto refreshing rend?
MS or Cleave when mobs are less than 35%
ohhh
yeah
I played arms in DF... just kinda getting refresh training
I'm glad we are kinda back to it.. I couldnt' play arms in S1 ttw
They should uncap thunderclap for both fury and arms.
oh god please
Fury is so capped on target numbers
I absolutely do terrible against dot based classes...
Just MS
Right, I'm thinking something else.
I just use the cheapest food. It's such little dps from worst possible stats food to best possible.
In an advanced sim
Paste your /simc at the top, then that below

Hi what Banezi said
Whoever designed underpin needs to be shot
It’s broken
I can do it on my mage, but, doing it on my Arms feels impossible
The t11 version
Bro just leaps away when im trying to kepe him on the wall, then sends shit across the room and you just lose lol
insane
When I did the regular one on Arms I just stay on him the entire time and just danced
Totally not optimal I’m sure lmao
I tried killing the ads with bombs and then just said fuck it
Bran being at like level 45.. is also insane
Quite often see bombs just go through the adds too
Wouldnt be too bad if the adds didnt just spawn on the other side of the map
Oh yeah no doubt aye?? lmao
at what amount of rage do we wanna use slam as filler vs waiting for resources in ST?
dumbass class
MS > OP > slam is the general ST priority
You shouldn’t be waiting for resources unless you’ve had an insane number of ms resets in a row
Not sure if my arms is better than my fury 😦 usually dead last in M+
One pull deplete POV
TC itself has competely unhinged target scaling
It's like sqrt to 12 then meteor to 20 or something
Dont recall the correct numbers
me when the blood is life
Blood is life 😋 ⛓️ 🩸
Work
Well almost there, i slept in due to summer time
I was awake but couldnt get up and ready in time

gg
good morning. i kinda feel cooked. what is the difference between S1 and S2 demolish rotation priority?
sometimes my dmg goes crazy. sometimes i feel like shit and get fucked from a ret pala wit 15 gs less
I mean both seasons you farm mega fat cleaves and demolishes
And smurf on packs in cds
nothing changed lol
uh has felt send my 45s on cd
and hold ua for dt
even though its prob better to just send ua
yes thats normal.
ua?
Did you or did you not crit your demolish
That's the difference between doing damage or not
That's the secret
unholy assault
idk felt pretty big to hold it for dt
to max my vamp strikes
giga haste
ofc I got this on the weekly on my alt instead of my main lol
maybe but i would rather have for dt
it just feels giga
also just turbo desyncs from downtime
so im just there stroking my shit
Burgerking Kitten Meowzy
Wtf
yeah thats what ive been doing
I think I held dt if pack dies within like 10-7s
Hold dt entire pack in +10 with geared dps
i could also be dk noob
Inshallah
