Does tank need to taunt insta back?after you taunt reflect?

#

Never tried it so i need to start doing it

magic canopy
#

easiest is prob to taunt after each gattling gun to guarentee the first shot then taunt back

#

tho sometimes he might insta cast a rocket after. maybe after the rocket cast idk

#

only way it actually works is with comms kinda impossible in pugs

alpine falcon
#

Yeah 100% with coms, i was curious on what to tell my tank, either insta taunt like it was on thunder boss in nokud, or tot last boss.

bright ginkgo
#

Nice! Out of curiosity, whats ur comp and overall on a 21?
Edit: Nvm, found the compšŸ˜„

daring flicker
#

I have 16 crit, 24765 mastery, 2 billion haste and 763 vers. My dps is 60,779,265… We are not the same

Guys - can someone check if that is the ideal opener if you have no "stacks" into a pack. Charge -> Thunderclap->Cleave ( For DW ) -> Roar-> Ravager -> Avatar ->Warbreaker -> cleave/op shortly before CS runs out Demolish?

hollow plover
tacit crystal
#

^

#

and you should send demolish as soon as you hit 10, while also forcing at cs being near 2 if you got extremely unlucky

hollow plover
#

yo gio i got beard oil as a gift and man that shit cranks, you need to try it - even if ur clean shaven that shit is just insane for ur skin

tacit crystal
#

i just woke up bro

cedar sparrow
hollow plover
#

lets ignore SS for now, my friend please dont click overpower when you're trying to stack your demolish

#

(unless u have to)

#

its cleave > ms > op

#

MS gives you up to 4 stacks of colossal might in a single gcd

#

like you have to get criminally unlucky to end up not getting 10 stacks in time

cedar sparrow
#

So that will be more worth than to "buff" dmg for cleave in that dmg window? ( We talk about multitarget not st - just to be sure )

hollow plover
#

if ur fighting 50 mobs, lets say

#

you click cleave > ms > op

cedar sparrow
#

Alright letĀ“s try out šŸ™‚ Thanks man.

hollow plover
#

that shit cranks

tacit crystal
#

only worth stacking mp if you can get like 5 modifiers

#

cs demo ava collat rav

#

but having all at once at start of pulls

#

lol

still fox
#

is jastor sim bait or why do play most warris crafted over 671 ring? for me sim jastor better

hollow plover
hollow plover
#

but a lot of people want stamina

#

or they just dont have the jastor

still fox
#

kk than i play it ^^

boreal remnant
#

You're the one who plays with poah right?

ancient scroll

fast wedge
#

in 2 target with no SS - do you cleave or only cleave on 3 target?

dim basalt
#

On 2T only with Ravager running because of MBG (in place of slam)

restive canyon
#

cleave's damage is like 1/3 of MS

fast wedge
#

thanks

hollow plover
teal fossil
#

MS mainly beats out due to colossal might

#

else its very close

shadow ibex
#

You will still cleave at 2t

#

You don't get demo stacks but it's still the third best button in that scenario

green cedar
#

Already had another earth neck with crit haste. Crafted a second. I have a lot of gilded and a wife with a lot of crafting mats on her JC

hollow zephyr
#

If i am at the penalty point for haste and crit should i use mastery consumes?

hollow plover
shadow ibex
#

So called free thinkers when loot drops

hollow plover
shadow ibex
#

trying to play an UH DK i thought wounds stacked up to like 99 its only 6

#

i thought they were managing stacks wtf is this

dim basalt
hollow zephyr
shadow ibex
#

all this time UH opener is so hard

#

meanwhile i got 6 woudns to burst

hollow plover
#

obviously you can make a custom string (im sure someone has it) to check all at once

#

but this also works

hollow zephyr
#

im confused at how it could test alchemical chaos flask since its rng on which stat it takes

smoky kayak
smoky kayak
#

Same way as every other proc or variable, the sim replicates the stat rotation and runs thousands of iterations to smooth out the effect of rng

#

From a very simple standpoint, basic sims are about averaging and finding the most consistently performative result

fast wedge
#

I've never really paid attention to arms war or war in general. how does this class/spec typically do expansion to expansion? are they often in a good spot or neglected?

eager sigil
#

depends if you want m+ or raid

#

for raid they are usually good

#

in keys they are pretty mid

fast wedge
#

m+

eager sigil
#

play mage or druid if you want class thats always good in dungeons

fast wedge
#

for context - how does current iteration of arms compare to it historically?

#

better or worse than usual in keys

eager sigil
#

current one is very good compared to previous versions

shadow ibex
#

Biggest problem is not much reason to invite one

#

Even when great other classes are on par and will bring things

slow saddle
#

Or choose ret

#

If u want melee

#

Reliably good in keys

fast wedge
#

I have a steady 4/5 man m+ group so the invites dont matter to me...i played SP until switching to war recently for this season

slow saddle
#

If u have a team

#

Play what u like

fast wedge
#

im not really asking what to play ... im just really really enjoying arms right now and it feels good in my m+ group. Just not sure if this is peak arms war experience or not

slow saddle
#

Peak

#

And still many specs will beat u

#

🤣

shadow ibex
#

I would hope it isn't peak. Demolish root is still cringe and cleave dominates the rotation

fast wedge
#

thats fine, i played SP for 11 weeks...i feel like powerhouse atm

slow saddle
#

Hmm df with sks was peak for me

#

But most ppl didnt like

eager sigil
#

aberrus arms xan

slow saddle
#

Hmm .5 y

#

I meant for m+ but y

#

I enjoyee having a burst button

fast wedge
#

what makes this peak arms in comparison to prior iterations?

shadow ibex
slow saddle
slow saddle
#

If u meant gameplay...

fast wedge
#

hopefully its here to stay, im really liking this

slow saddle
#

Its not peak at all

#

I think they should remove col dmg

shadow ibex
#

cant really count corruption and arms aoe in BFA before that was p rough

icy mulch
#

Between Azerite armor and corruptions, BFA arms was meh.

shadow ibex
#

closest to current version is probabyl DF s1

#

SL s1 was shit show so thats also off the table lol

icy mulch
#

Fair, I sort of gave up on Arms in Shadowland.

dim basalt
#

Cant speak for previous iterations but I think this iteration for aoe is okay-ish

#

Just feels bad that we do so much less damage than 1 button meta specs

shadow ibex
#

current version is probably best but thats a low bar tbh

icy mulch
#

keks sad but true

shadow ibex
#

if we go from like past 3 expacs, arms aoe didnt really come online until corruption in BFA

#

SL s1 competing with fury for worst dps but it got better in s2 onward

#

DF s1 is a lot like now but we used bladestorm

icy mulch
#

S1 was mid, s2 was strong.

balmy kindle
#

sL 1 , still have PTSD playing fairy warrior critcake

icy mulch
#

Night Fae was awesome.

balmy kindle
#

Aftershock> ventyr execute sadge

icy mulch
#

Hell yeah

balmy kindle
#

The visual was balls though, really wished ventyr or maldrax was better

#

By then I quitted

icy mulch
#

Do it for her!

shadow ibex
#

i wish AA would come back in place of roar and spear

#

mvoe spear up to utility spot and just make it ursols

#

and just kill TR since they keep nerfing bleeds anyway

balmy kindle
#

Personally didn't mind AA ( probably the most fun part of night Fae), but man the blue visuals were an eyesore

balmy kindle
slow saddle
#

Aa was way cooler ability

leaden meadow
#

is fury better in raid overall?

calm hollow
#

@dull siren on a fcking boost with alt

leaden meadow
#

its way better some fights but cannot catch up in others i do not really inderstand why

hollow plover
leaden meadow
#

is fury aoe way better in whirlwind cap number of targets

#

or is it close

hollow plover
#

Well. Look at stix.

#

sometimes u fight more than 5 targets even, and fury still vastly outperforms arms

#

arms just doesnt compete when aoe is involved, arms is more of a boss damage and 2 target cleave spec.

leaden meadow
#

wow

hollow plover
#

(arms wins on vexie due to boss damage difference)

leaden meadow
#

i thought it is slightly better in m+

#

i mean arms

hollow plover
#

arms is better in m+

minor gust
#

just how the raid fight is designed and the spec is designed

hollow plover
#

raid and m+ isnt comparable

minor gust
#

its not that deep

leaden meadow
#

yeah

minor gust
#

play what you wanna play both are good in the raid

leaden meadow
#

i ve seen a lot of people swap to fury after the patch

calm hollow
leaden meadow
#

and some other who say it is a fake buff

#

quite confusing

dull siren
#

I've soon got all the stuff

celest forge
#

That's crazy, why do that to yourself?

dull siren
#

I play with a active guild / Boost Gallywix Mythic

#

and no one ever wants to have warrior alt

icy mulch
calm hollow
celest forge
#

Oh for boosting

#

I guess that makes sense

#

Wonder what it takes to get into boosting

hollow plover
leaden meadow
#

i see

#

so would you say arms is good?

hollow plover
#

yes

celest forge
#

Fury is decent for raids šŸ™‚

hollow plover
#

arms is much prefered over fury in most situations

dim basalt
#

Middle of the pack /shrug

leaden meadow
#

i just checked top raider io warriors most are fury

celest forge
#

I think Blizzard is terrified of making fury meta in raids so they leave it as crap in keys

leaden meadow
#

just saying , with respect xd

dull siren
#

Fury is better in a few dungeons arms is better in most due to not being target capped

leaden meadow
#

well gear is quite similar so if you min maxing , you can just swap based on content i gues

#

fury wants more mastery no?

dim basalt
#

Fury with arms gear sucks

celest forge
#

Fury loves mastery, arms doesn't

dim basalt
#

Arms loves mastery too

#

You can easily play arms with fury gear but not so much the other way around

dull siren
#

1 different ring / neck on Arms vs Fury and you can just play with the same gear.

leaden meadow
#

yeah

#

thats what i waas gon say

#

set is set, trinkets are same i giess

hollow plover
#

and mastery is good in m+

#

big aoe

celest forge
#

Mastery is always third

calm hollow
#

just dont play fury at all, if you have 1 warr

dull siren
#

not really a huge diff

dim basalt
#

They give no context

celest forge
#

Ok

dim basalt
#

And a stat being 3rd highest prio does not make it bad

hollow plover
#

also "prio" for stats is dumb

#

just sim ur gear

celest forge
#

Never said it was bad. Said arms doesn't love it

hollow plover
#

statweights are meaningless

celest forge
#

It's fine with it, but doesn't love it

hollow plover
dull siren
#

When you hit like 33% Haste / Crit
You just start going for mastery / vers

#

and if your doing aoe is earlier than that

leaden meadow
#

i swapped from rogue and dont hate me for saying this but i just feel like fury is a worse outlaw

dim basalt
#

None of the warrior spec are in a great state tbh

#

In terms of gameplay

calm hollow
#

i dont mind the current arms

#

just remove jugg

dull siren
#

Remove EP put "Memory of Lucid Dreams"

#

in the same talent slot

dim basalt
#

I mean yeah jugg is an issue

#

But remove it and theres like nothing of the spec left

calm hollow
#

i take TC on sudden proc too

dim basalt
#

S3 DF? Hell yeah

olive nest
#

Absolutely

leaden meadow
#

do you think arms is as easy as people commonly think?

olive nest
#

SD casting Giga TC was sick

dim basalt
#

Arms is easy

calm hollow
olive nest
#

Can get complex if you play around the conditionals

#

But the WAs make it pretty easy

#

Mash glowy button

#

React to sound in ear

#

Parsing 99/100 is very rng dependent but anyone can do orange on it with some practice

dim basalt
#

Definitely straight forward in raid imo

#

Harder to master in M+

leaden meadow
#

i truly believe it is way harder than most melee specs in m+

olive nest
#

It’s harder than current ret/uhdk imo

#

Just because arms you have to try to sync things properly to get full output

dim basalt
#

Comparing it to the easier specs keks

olive nest
#

Can’t speak on rogue have no exp with it this expact

#

Monk I hear is pretty chill too

dull siren
#

Idk, About straight forward in raid if you actually want to master it.
So much minmaxing and small stuff you'll have tto do.

leaden meadow
#

i played rogue whole dragonflight

#

people thought it is hard

#

it is soo damn scripted

dull siren
#

M+ warrior is cleave chatting

leaden meadow
#

i canntp stress it enough

dim basalt
dull siren
#

I mean, The people who have mastered it is way further above others in preformance on the spec

olive nest
#

Little do they know you gotta pre plan a 8 page opener to get cleave to do big numba

dull siren
#

Just get resets

olive nest
#

Rngwalled

dim basalt
#

Only boss where youre not giga rngwalled is oab

#

Id also say Stix but boomkins just oneshot at this point

olive nest
#

I love when I Bladestorm on pull for gally and I don’t get enough rng for it to be back up for first add set

dim basalt
#

Yeah that feels bad

#

Because if it lines once you can get it line for the other adds too

#

Its so bad

calm hollow
#

i always get it back

#

even with bad rng

dim basalt
#

Are you not supposed to insta kick?

olive nest
#

My team Interrupt instantly

calm hollow
#

you can easily delay it

#

like 5 or more sec

dim basalt
#

Thats good to know

#

But I dont think we are gonna change anything now lol

#

Damn healer sheets

olive nest
#

Doubt mine would delay 5 seconds for the warrior to get his BS more consistently

#

They’ll just say ā€œKek warrior speakingā€

calm hollow
#

i mean, they dont delay for me

#

for everyone its better

olive nest
#

Wonder how many specs would actually appreciate the delay

leaden meadow
#

is it normal that i occaisonally find my selff pressing slam like 3 times in a row if i am pressing anything at all

olive nest
#

Yes

dim basalt
#

yeah

olive nest
#

Horrible reset luck

#

But it does happen

dim basalt
#

Best thing is when you only get 1-2 tactician procs during full cds

#

Thats an immediate ff go next

olive nest
#

Love when I proc reap on technition sets and skyrocket number

leaden meadow
#

thatsa exactly what never happens in rogue. It always does something. Genuinely no downtime what soever

#

i feel like my char is exhausted quite frequently as arms

dim basalt
#

I mean you always do something

#

But slam is just so worthless

#

You dont really run out of rage to the point you cant press anything at all

#

Unless youre in execute with no sham in group

#

But even then its rare

leaden meadow
#

thats smtn i dont really understand

#

with m+ build if i am in execute range

#

execute just replaces slam right op is still higher prio?

dim basalt
#

correct

leaden meadow
#

so executte range does not change much then?

#

in terms of dps

dim basalt
#

Yes

#

Given that you dont play with EP

leaden meadow
#

if i do

#

and i am not at two stacks

#

is it exe over mortal strike?

#

meaning i only ms with 2 stacks?

dim basalt
#

if >40? rage

#

Not absolutely sure on that number

calm hollow
#

you will only MS with 2 EP

#

in raid

dim basalt
#

M+ context tho

leaden meadow
#

yeah yeah i get you but i was actually asking for the raid build xD

#

mb

dim basalt
#

oh

#

Yeah only with 2x EP

leaden meadow

Anyone else find it funny that Wowhead has ignored Arms and Fury in their mid-expansion editorials? Not that I plan to ever read it, but just found it funny that it's been a week since their last one.

#

sometimes my cleave hits for 20-40million based on this weak aura but its usually 4-5million. on target dummies. is this a large difference because of crit?

Does collateral dmg scale higher in ravager from Merciless Bonegrinder?

yes

so the strat would be to pop ravager like 8 seconds or so after sweeping strikes?

pine wind
#

i saw that, but what is the reason that the buff to bladestorm and reap the storm means we no longer take jugg and critical thinking? is the buff so substantial that we take warbreaker for the aoe CS buff and thus getting cleave and overpower resets synergize better with warbreaker?

minor gust
# pine wind i saw that, but what is the reason that the buff to bladestorm and reap the stor...

more like Slayer is no longer a meme and theres now a more serious build. The jugg build on wowhead was always just a second thought option for casuals to play if they wanted to play Slayer instead of colossus. It was using the idea that if Slayer is so bad in aoe you might as well just play to its ST strengths. Now with 11.1 changes and those recent slayer aoe buffs its less of a meme and more of a viable second option.

pine wind
minor gust
#

ever since the colossus buffs in season 1 its been the goto M+ spec for arms

#

and 11.1 made it even better in M+

Yo guys any clues on execute about the following. Default execute is exec>exec>op>ms jugling op if you get oportunist sooner. But what if you get a 2x oportunist twice like op>exec>op, do you ms now or exec?

thick kelp
#

do you have 2 stacks of EP?

warm birch
#

Not if you get opportunist twice

#

1 ep stack and 2 op staks

thick kelp
#

sooo

#

answer is no

#

-> execute

#

if only the guide stated this :(

warm birch
#

It does state execute on 2 eps

#

I rarely see the 4 gcds in between ms

thick kelp
warm birch
#

So

#

U 4 gcd if 2 oportunist

thick kelp
#

yes

warm birch
#

I dont usually see that on logs

#

If you follow that prio you execute 3x if no proc

#

Or am i crazy

thick kelp
#

yeah

#

if u stay above 20 rage thats the correct play

eager sigil
#

rage becomes a concern eventually

warm birch
#

Wouldnt a tier juiced op + a stack of mp be overall always better that a execute

dim basalt
#

The differences are very small

#

Thats why we dont really play around our tier, just not worth the effort

fresh spire
#

Opportunist usage is mostly to use up the hard hit. Gain 10 rage if using the talent and the chance to proc set

#

Also fills out a gcd with 0 rage spending when you are running low which will smooth out your executes spending more rage on average

hollow plover
# thick kelp

whats the dps loss if you forced exe op exe disregarding opportunist completely

#

is that documented somewhere?

thick kelp
#

From when we were cooking with it

hollow plover
#

2.851m vs 2.825m

#

surprisingly low diff

#

thats like 1%

im just trying to find simpler playstyles for beginners

Ahh got it I didn’t read the full conversation just started about there lol

simpler playstyle is to not pick opportunist

is it worth to sacrifice second wind for rumbling earth in higher keys for more stun?

shadow ibex
#

With opp ofc

thick kelp
#

in the end all that matters is how many stacks of jugg you got when execute phase started and how many crits on your MS

shadow ibex
#

I think like 90% of its relevance is pre exe since the alternative is using a slam over your opp which would be very bad

thick kelp

you can play the rotation exe exe op ms perma loop and R1 if u crit and get jugg rng

sounds like a good thing

#

to me

rigid ravine
#

Does it beat fotm specs? Nope but will it carry your weight in content yeah

hollow plover
#

you can play perfectly as raid arms and still lose hella juggernaut stacks

inner wasp
#

that feels bad maybe

rigid ravine
#

If you're not mythic raiding it's fine

hollow plover
#

raid arms is all about extending juggernaut while doing normal rotation

#

if u go into execute phase with 15 jugg stacks, u do big dam

#

if u go into exe phase with low stacks

shadow ibex
#

Raid Arms feels v bad imo

rigid ravine
#

Even then it really only matters on like 2 bosses

hollow plover
#

then nice parse, idiot

shadow ibex
#

Jug and MS crit

hollow plover
#

yea MS crit is 4x

#

the damage

#

when stacked

shadow ibex

Just have all 18 ms casts in exe crit

#

In M+ Should i use Ravager on CD, or always try to align it with Avatar and Trinket?

hollow plover
opal merlin
#

thanks

#

And should i use Sweeping Strikes on the bosses, to stack collateral damage, or is it a wasted global?

hollow plover
#

read collat again for me please

Oh, sorry lmao.^^ ty for the patience šŸ˜„

Yea, you are absolutly right

#

Now that we have access to two dinar, what's the correct casting sequence for those of us with BiS and HoC? Is there a guide on how it affects the opener?

tawny lily
#

Hey I got a question,when should I use Best-in-slots? Like,since you can't use HoC and BiS at the same time,when should I use it? Unless it was written and i'm blind :D

craggy copper
#

(After first use)

tacit crystal
#

when would hoc not be with avatar

craggy copper
#

No, urite both 1.5min. What about holding BiS for CS since it's 2min?

#

Or do we hold the CS for BiS to come up

tacit crystal
#

your next cs would be at like 30s in

#

then just next time bis is up you use with the closest cs

craggy copper

teal fossil
#

just sim regular

gusty eagle
#

guys, apart from stix and gallywix is there any other boss where if i dont go fury i will be (in theory) less useful for the raid?

shadow ibex
#

Nah

#

I mean maybe rikk

#

But if you're having problems with rik adds at this point, fury isn't the answer

#

Gally is probably the only important one. Stix you don't need to be fury either imo

olive nest
#

Sim sends Slots on cd but I’m lazy about it and just have it macroed to CS so I delay the first use by 10 seconds

#

Syncs up again at 6minutes so you just have to have the Ava/trinket macro be its own bind

gusty eagle
#

nah we are not having problems at all, its for reclearing. Swapped to warrior for farm!

#

but im still in the hustle of gearing towards arms or fury

shadow ibex
#

Arms is also fine on gally

#

It's kinda ass if your guild doesn't milk the p1 cast tho

olive nest
#

My BS comes up on time every couple pulls

#

Most of the time it’s like 6-8 seconds late

#

We insta kick

shadow ibex
#

Yea same so I just went fury

#

It just felt bad

teal fossil
#

lol

gusty eagle
#

guild is farming, im swapping class so im technically not farming

#

idk how to explain the situation

teal fossil
#

if no one else is swapping then you can just get carried

#

you on a weak alt wouldnt matter too much

#

especially at this point

shadow ibex
#

If it's a shit alt just send fury and mash

#

Aoeing adds a lot easier and really only wipe condition that you can affect as war

leaden meadow
#

so with slayer raid build

#

is just 2x exe into ms as long as i can if no cds?

#

is op proc higher prio

dim basalt
leaden meadow
#

do we send bladestorm off cooldown ?

#

or is op/ 2 ep ms and stuff bettter?

dim basalt
#

2x ep into bs

leaden meadow
#

my exe is never available after the opener is it just unluck? xD

shadow ibex
#

It's just rng

#

Haste helps

leaden meadow
#

so if im not getting exe reset its just good old ms as much as you can and hit op proc right?

spark mango
#

just depleted a top because we came back up on Xav and my paladin died to stomp due to my mortal strike healong reduction

#

he has 75% hpo

#

Fun times

dim basalt
shadow ibex
#

I was doing top on an alt and the person I got sent to duel kept running from me 😦

hollow plover
shadow ibex
#

It is a uh dk

#

So probably

#

I need to get that s3 DF tier it looks badaas

#

Our first reclear since ce and I'm so tempted to just send colossus all night

hollow plover
#

Ewwww

#

i hope u fullclear in 1 night tho

#

we barely didnt, we had to go back to clear sprocket

#

since we did sprocket last

#

took a few weeks off, now almost all wars on 16+ keys are fury, what did I miss?

#

guys how good is the focusing lens embellishment?

#

is it too far behind dusk/dawn cuz i kind of want to have embellishments on neck and ring

dim basalt
#

But focusing lens has no value in aoe iirc

#

Not like that would matter much

narrow dawn
#

If I have both bis and cards I send on cd or always something on avatar?

dim basalt
#

bis with cs

narrow dawn
#

That will work I guess ty

leaden meadow
#

so when not in exe range as slayer

#

i wait for 2 sudden stacks to press exe

#

is that right?

olive nest
#

Well that’s one of the SD conditionals yes

leaden meadow
#

so if i have one and exe i usable

#

i dont press it

olive nest
#

You press SD if
Jug is about to expire
SD has two charges
Or 3x Mark for execution stacks

#

I guess technically you SD if the buff is about to fall off at 1 stack also

leaden meadow
#

dude this class is waaaaay harder than people think

olive nest
#

Uncommon though

shadow ibex
#

Not a bad idea to get weak aura to track jugg stacks and to track MFE

leaden meadow
#

i have it but wanted to understand the whys

shadow ibex
#

Its not difficult just really annoying

olive nest
#

Bear you can just get the SD Weakauras and it will go ā€œkachingā€ in your ear when it’s supposed to be pressed

#

If you don’t want to practice without the handicap

leaden meadow
#

is it optimal to just completely listen to the wa?

olive nest
#

Pretty much yes

#

The Weakaura doesn’t know when you won’t be able to hit the boss or that you’ll be channeling blade storm so you have to pay some attention to it

#

Like it won’t kaching when SD or Jug is at 3 or 4 seconds left on duration and you could Bladestorm and then drop stacks

#

So it’d be better to refresh quick before bladestorming

#

Random example

#

But you get the idea I think

leaden meadow
#

refresh jugg you mean?

#

so only ms ing with 2 stacks is only at exe range is that correectt?

#

meaning i do exe back to back to get stacks

olive nest
#

Well sorta correct

#

You also react to opportunist procs

#

So it could look like
Exe>op>exe>op>MS

leaden meadow
#

so op procc alwaays highest prio?

shadow ibex
#

fuck i hope jug dies

olive nest
#

Or it could be
Op>exe>exe>op>ms

olive nest
#

But it’s more prio than Ms if you don’t have two stacks of martial prowess on the target already

leaden meadow
#

so here is the thing. most guides say if i have zero jugg stacks and i have sd i definetly exe

#

the wa on the other hand

#

does not proc in that case

sacred zodiac
#

what guide says that

olive nest
#

what guide says that

leaden meadow
#

am i stupid xD

#

wait

#

i thought the first sentence means

#

if you get an sd proc

#

just exe straight away

olive nest
#

So that’s just a comment

#

That’s not explaining the prio

#

All that’s doing is trying to help you understand the priority

leaden meadow
#

so lets say

#

i have zero jugg stacks and a single sd proc

#

no marked for execution

#

i dont exe right?

olive nest
#

Also, if SD procs before your first Bladestorm spam it quick for the extra benefit on your first BS

#

šŸ˜‰

olive nest
sacred zodiac
shadow ibex
#

exe on pull yes

#

your BS will tick 1 more time

#

and unlock another ms tick

sacred zodiac
#

dont think apl would press execute there

#

actions.slayer_st+=/execute,if=buff.juggernaut.remains<=gcd2&talent.juggernaut|buff.sudden_death.stack=2|buff.sudden_death.remains<=gcd3|debuff.marked_for_execution.stack=3

olive nest
#

Very odd that it wouldn’t

shadow ibex
#

the top log on plenty kills doesnt follow APL

#

ignoring opportunist etc

olive nest
#

An entire extra MS during opener burst is worth every time

leaden meadow
#

and i believe that would be the only time i dont listen to wa

#

i never get those sd procs tho 😭

olive nest
leaden meadow
#

would you do that before every bs?

olive nest
#

No because you naturally would have the extension for the rest

#

Unless downtime

leaden meadow
#

or extreme unluckiness i guess

#

just letting wa handle it changed my life ngl

#

šŸ˜…

olive nest
#

Yes definitely recommend doing that

dim basalt
#

I played most of S1 without the wa

olive nest
#

You can play without it for sure

dim basalt
#

Its not that hard

#

Practice is all

olive nest
#

But it’s there and allows more mental load to go towards performing the fight

#

There’s zero reason not to take advantage of it because it’s a helpful tool available to everyone

shadow ibex
#

die MFE die

#

die jug die

olive nest
#

Unless you need to ego stroke yourself

leaden meadow
#

would you say the 'perfect' warr player would outperform the wa

#

like are there times where it is not optimal

dim basalt
#

The wa is optimal 99% of the time

olive nest
#

Yes I’d imagine tmy could outplay the WA

#

Guys an animal at warrior

#

Revvez etc

spiral coral
#

Lots of super great players play natty but they’re unicorns

#

I’m still undecided if I like WAs

#

I go back n forth depending on spec/class/feeling that day lmao

#

Might have to dedicate a day to make my own thing (wa/ui) eventually

olive nest
#

I personally really hope blizzard slam dunks this limited addons thing and provides there own comparable versions in game

#

I do not like that the game has to be designed around complex WAs that solve problems for us

#

But that’s my own opinion

spiral coral
#

I’d like if they do what Dorki said. Remove all combat add ons, hard, rip the band aid off, and just see what happens lmao

shadow ibex
#

yea that sounds awful

spiral coral
#

Cause I feel like the smart people are just going to find work arounds

shadow ibex
#

tracking MFE jugg alone would be cringe

spiral coral
#

Or blizzard’s implementation will be terrible

shadow ibex
#

tracking meat cleaver stacks as fury instead of remembering i pressed WW 4 globals

olive nest
shadow ibex
#

they havent shown themselves capable

#

so im not gonna start believing now

olive nest
#

That I agree with for sure

#

The thing sucks nuts right now

#

Big time

But they’ll improve it over time

zealous pivot

uh

#

jd eye or house?

#

already have em all hero

#

jd and house sim basically equal

#

:/

zealous pivot
#

why tho if they sim equal?

#

value from it buffing others ig?

shadow ibex
#

if its equal pick the one you think you wont get during farm

minor gust
zealous pivot
#

my thinking is that keys that chain pull it would be good? like cinderbrew youre in combat for 6 min per wing at least so you have full stacks for each boss

minor gust
#

do you pug our do you have a premade group

dim basalt
#

Youre not gonna be able to abuse eye in dungeons if youre not with a full premade team

minor gust
#

because relying on a pug tank to frequently chain pull is not worth using

#

eye in keys requires significant cordination

zealous pivot
#

pug but at 3600 so even if not abusing, the keys are kinda paced for chain pulls anyways if you hope to time yk

dim basalt
#

And dropping it few times a dungeon makes its not worth anymore

zealous pivot
#

hmmge

dim basalt
#

Takes super long to stack up

#

And drops quickly

minor gust
#

Its something you can do but its just not worth imo not every dungeon has good chain pull value

#

HOC is easy to use and good in all forms of content and dungeons

#

again eye is super niche

#

up to you tho its not that big of a deal

shadow ibex
#

eye isnt rare either

#

with farm and vault you'll probably get it anyway

minor gust
#

neither are rare

cosmic pecan
#

What’s the best way to use best in slots on use ?

minor gust
#

if your using an on use trinket then use it with the next cs

cosmic pecan
#

So use house of cards with avatar and first cs ravaged

minor gust
#

house of cards with ava yes

shadow ibex
minor gust
#

A jastor

#

was a bigger upg than myth HOC

tacit crystal
#

do i greed my dinars or

minor gust
#

up to you

#

I personally didnt really care im not pushing keys on the warrior and were on farm

#

so I dont really care about gear

tacit crystal
#

i dont think i get anything

minor gust
#

you guys kill Gally yet?

tacit crystal
#

hoc shouldnt beat sprockencock or pace on arms

#

swordish still on mugzee

#

i only did a 4/8 last week

#

trail begins tomorrow

minor gust
#

you joining a new guild?

tacit crystal
#

yeah

minor gust
#

ah

tacit crystal
#

they took a break last week after killing gally week before

minor gust
#

sim your options then if Jastor is looking significantly better for you then worth holding dinar for it if you want

tacit crystal
#

dunno how ethical it would be for me to wait until bandit is killed again for a bis to drop and take it

#

i have to sim

#

but only things i need are hoc jastors bis kezan

#

but hoc doubt as arms

minor gust
#

Hoc is good for arms

#

Kezan is hard bait

tacit crystal
#

over pace and cocken

#

no chance

minor gust
#

I would never waste a dinar on a trinket thats only good on long fights

#

same with sprocken wouldnt waste a dinar on that

#

last I simmed sprocken and HOC are the exact same but HOC has value in all parts of the game

#

sprocken is just for raid

tacit crystal
#

i really feel like i should just play fury on gally

minor gust
#

if you wanna pad on adds sure

tacit crystal
#

in on everything except stix

inshallah

but i havent done anything but hit cap and do lfr

#

and some m0

tacit crystal
#

i legit cant get anything

shadow ibex
#

i think im just gonna play frost on this thing

spiral coral
#

Fdk is the most forgotten spec in the game

shadow ibex
#

i think breath is pretty iconic

#

just never seen a frost in raid since UH is usually really good

spiral coral
#

I like frost when I play DK

shadow ibex
#

i made 1 in DF s2 it was crazy fun and good

spiral coral
#

Yuuuup

shadow ibex
#

felt like arms but good

#

oblit on 3 targets

#

DnD was just better sweeping

spiral coral
#

Maybe it was just the specs (arms/fdk) I played, but s2 DF was my peak

shadow ibex
#

pillar of frost was like test of might except u didnt have to pick between that and iftk and a buff on you not WB debuff

#

my only problem is deathbringer seems really lame

#

oh damn they changed icap to just be 15 sec CDR on pillar i did not know that

#

p sure it was CDR based on runes or something before

spiral coral
#

Think it was to curve the random downtime a bit

#

Rider of the Apocalypse, don’t really know if it gets cooler sounding than that

pine wind
#

Thew new M+ build for slayer on wow head has us taking brutal finish over Culling cyclone. is that intentional?

spiral coral
shadow ibex
#

BF isn't really one either, but you can at least sweep mortal strike

#

vs 10 targets cyclone would increase the amount of dmg they take from BS by 1% each

#

5 tagets, 2% per target. its more an ST talent where each tick will deal 10% since only 1 target hit

pine wind
#

so the wording is on it is funny? cause it says "each strike" but with what you're saying i assume its only the strike on the primary target?

shadow ibex
#

each strike of BS will deal 10% more dmg, evenly split among targets hit

pine wind
#

yeah but if im hitting 10 targets, thats 10 strikes each "tick", to me it sounds like a 10% increase to bladestorm damage

#

just worded funny

shadow ibex
#

each of them would take an extra 1% dmg from it

pine wind
#

1% extra damage, 10 extra hits, 10% damage,

minor gust
#

BF sims better than cyclone in all scenarios last time I did it

shadow ibex
#

50% inc to almost 600% AP ability

#

before MP

#

10% BS dmg brings it to like 200% AP per tick

pine wind
#

but by that logic as soon as you get to 3 targets they're equal and at 4 bladestorm is "more ap"

shadow ibex
#

can sweep MS

#

but BS can tick upwards of 10 times

pine wind
#

bladestorm can hit 8

shadow ibex
#

BF def has more ST value and if ur playing slayer that's really what ur there for i assume

#

its not gonna make or break the build tho. i wouldnt be surprised if at 8 target sim cc wins out

pine wind
#

see now that's fair, lol. i was getting so confused cause i was thinking M+ so its like, every bladestorm is gonna be like 5-8+ and its a 10% increase, and looking at my damage one bladestorm was doing like 20 mil but 1 MS is like 1.5m (im in season 1 gear) but over the course of a whole dungeon on prio, elites and bosses i could see BF possibly making up for some of that damage since not EVERY pull is 8+

shadow ibex
#

for max overall it should be better but slayer is there for more ST i think. if your overall chasing may as well send colossuss

minor gust
#

BF is just better in all scenarios

reef glade
#

there a way to do a sim where kezan is already at like high stacks or something

#

cuz rn its bout 6k worse than equal ilvl mechanocore but im assuming for purposes of max mugzee p2 execute it just gotta be better right

but idk by how much it'd be

what haste and crit is too much

where i should focus on other stats

and which stats?

gray herald

just sim your upgrades and only change something if the sim suggests you do

there's no amount that is specifically too much

#

it will depend on your other stats/gear pieces so it's always better to sim yourself

they wont kill it for this 4fun event

mild sequoia
#

Hey ! question, i can buy Best-in-Slot in Myth track, but im locked on HoC 671 / Pacemaker 684 (no second passive trinket), is it value to use BiS active without burst window ? or should i get a 684 weapon on vault and play only around HoC use (got the crafted one atm) ? Considering im using HoC on each Avatar use ofc

did some sim, BiS + HoC/pacemaker is ahead for 16k dps, the question is more about feeling of gameplay, dont wanna choose something that i can't reverse

spark mango
#

Best is slot is a very great item sims aside

#

works well with how arms plays

#

i go in with avatar and house of cards and my next warbreaker + demolish is with best in slot

mild sequoia
#

Thanks for the answer ! going for that then šŸ˜„

spark mango
#

it shared cooldown with your active trinket so just use it during warbreaker window when ready and make sure to also have your trinket somewhere in your vision outside your macro so you dont press avatar and losing out on a cast of House of cards

mild sequoia
#

Got a bind for each trinket use, gonna use for a warbreaker/colossus window as you said, thanks !

fast wedge
#

for colossus m+ execute rotation - we just use execute in place of slam when nothing else is available, right? or should we try to play around executioner's precision?

icy zinc
#

Currently it looks to also be shit. But Blizzard probably don't want that so they will likely buff the belt.

icy zinc
shadow ibex
#

You can drop EP for something else since execute doesn't really come up often in aoe and even in ST with tact procs and MS resets from EB/BL exe gets pushed way down even in best case scenarios

fast wedge
#

really? i might play around with that

#

i dont like EP šŸ™‚

shadow ibex
#

Execute is a very bad button for colossus

#

Can drop EP very easily. The lack of rage refund and no jugg to boost execute damage just makes pressing it a bad time since it just kills your rage
