#

now that bleeds do strong dmg I like arterial just because it provides aoe and ST value vs OAM just being for cleave.

tacit crystal
#

surely soa is worth having

minor gust
#

over sks no

olive nest
#

More boss damage vs second bb?

#

Probably easy sim

minor gust
#

SKS is a massive gain now cuz tier. and the logic stands trading a ST talent for another way better ST/Prio talent

minor gust
tacit crystal
#

only kinda aids part of build

#

we have to make sure we have rend on everything

minor gust
#

is indeed the most aids part if only we had a sick talent that would press TC for me when I consumed SD procs

olive nest
#

Does tc smart target for rend applications?

minor gust
#

no

olive nest
#

That’s great

latent moss
#

doesnt contribute to st

#

with sks and arterial bleed and tierset

#

bleeds are 2nd highest source of damage on st

#

combined

tacit crystal
#

lol

🥀

latent moss
#

just numbers thing and i cba logging in to grab my simc

tacit crystal
#

cro do you agree

olive nest
#

Ye I’m saying between SoA & bb I’d be surprised if SoA did more boss damage and would be easy to sim it

latent moss

olive nest
#

Bleed season sounding fun

#

Let’s gooo

tacit crystal
#

revert old roar passive

#

make our bleeds do more damage all the time

flint plank
#

I like it though, I`d consider doing 2x bloodborne and drop SoA

minor gust
olive nest
minor gust
#

bleeds are shit it just sounds fun cuz were doing more dmg than last season

olive nest

#

Arms owning next season?

dim basalt
#

no

latent moss
#

soa is 100k

#

more

#

on st

minor gust
#

thats absolutely nothing hooray

dim basalt
#

Imagine a season where warrior warlock and rogue are good at the same time

latent moss
#

just need a season where warrior is good

#

assa always just appears out of nowhere with some busted bs

#

warlocks are always "b tier"

dim basalt
#

Sure but all 3 classes have been eating shit for some time

minor gust
#

yeah rogue is totally not good or anything at all right now

dim basalt
#

Eh

#

Outlaw and assa do fine in M+ but still have issues

#

In raid that class is just dog

#

And we are just talking dps, not gameplay issues

minor gust
#

if its just dps outlaw and assa are more than fine in M+

#

they are both great

latent moss
#

outlaw shits on arms

#

in pure dps

dim basalt
#

Lots of specs shit on us

minor gust
#

all im tryna see in the phys comp rogue has amazing dmg to back up its spot

#

warrior is there for battle shout

latent moss
#

could it be the 5t soft cap on cleave for whatever reason

candid pecan
#

dont worry

#

tuning tonight/tomorrow

#

Is there a Reason the Arms Guide for AoE, tells me to use Ava after i use Thunderous Roar, wouldn´t i miss out on some bleed dmg from the roar?

minor gust
#

in the phys comp no Bshout adds a lot to it

dim basalt
#

Not like a lot of specs do phys damage nowadays

minor gust
#

Bshout isnt phys dmg

#

its AP

dim basalt
#

Im aware

tacit crystal
olive nest
tacit crystal
#

the dot is why you press it

zinc lotus
#

Yeah what i though thank you, was confused cause with Ava the bleed would tic with like 101k and without about 86k

olive nest
#

It dynamically adjusts

regal dragon
#

i hope we are atleast decent in boss damage next season

olive nest
#

We do good boss damage now?

#

Or you mean M+

#

Still decent

#

Just outclassed

regal dragon
#

i miss worded my sentence lol

candid pecan
#

we do "gooder" boss dmg now compared to season 2 ratge

regal dragon
#

my bad

dim basalt
#

Increased SD proc chance but still not good enough for 100% jugg uptime yay ratge

olive nest
#

Less think more Zug

regal dragon
olive nest
#

Zugulation 2:1

dim basalt
#

What are your predictions what boss will be the first wall

olive nest
#

Forgeweaver probably

dim basalt
olive nest
#

Or fractillus

dim basalt
#

I would be surprised if its not Fractillus

olive nest
#

Soul hunters would be no doubt because it’s just mechanic vomit all over the screen

#

But it’s “optional”

dim basalt
#

Im not sure if theyd be that hard

#

I imagine that theres not a lot of variance from pull to pull

tacit crystal
#

why doesnt this collectors event boost amirdrassil

#

i want my owl

#

NOW

regal dragon
#

maybe i can finally get the blue proto drake

#

wait does collectors bounty also work on the two handed rare drop from Legion??

latent moss
#

next season

#

idk dung pool

dire hinge
latent moss
#

unlucky

#

i remember ticking sack was pretty cracked

#

or that prism but idk about the prism in m+

#

if u dont get a stack in combat might have to send weaker cds and it has no stats at all

tacit crystal
#

we have the str spyma

#

🙂

olive nest
#

We have Crit on use from HoA

#

Surely that’s the play

regal dragon
#

oh god Ara Kara and Floodgate? critcake

olive nest
#

3 dungeon prisons this tier let’s goooo

void bay
#

Did they change M+ to just give cosmetics yet

eager sigil
#

surely m+ mains would still love keys if they didnt get gear from it

void bay
#

They can get a nice exclusive horse for their +15 or whatever and I wont have to bother with that shit

dim basalt

real birch
#

Ah so you would buy Hoc and then equip it with the pacemaker/locknstalk (HC)?

dim basalt
#

ye

#

eye is pretty worthless in raid

real birch
#

Oh ok I thoughts is quiet good

olive nest
#

It’s good on mythic gally that’s pretty much it

real birch
#

Ah ok. Thats the "next" boss we are going for.

olive nest
#

18% total raid buff this week almost every boss will be sub 5 minutes

#

Eye wants 5+ minute fight length

#

Great prog trinket though for mythic gally

real birch
#

Ty 4 explaining.

18% raid buff?

#

these trading post 2h are a lot smaller than i was expecting

gaunt owl
#

oh shit

shadow ibex
#

Man you don't even play warrior anymore

spiral coral
#

Meanwhile I’m gearing my 3rd chatting

gaunt owl
#

and uninstalled it was faster 😄

spiral coral
#

Suffering is a bit, much.

#

Ive used this time ways and turbo boost to play pretty much every spec, Arms is still my favorite. I’ll die on the hill of “Arms is fun.”

gaunt owl
#

Arms can be even more fun

spiral coral
#

100%

gaunt owl
#

we waiting for so long for some big changes but TWW wasnt it yet

spiral coral
#

I’m not playing colossus next season if it’s pretty much the same like archi was saying

#

Gonna be a slayer boy

shadow ibex
#

Playing same raid spec for a whole expac

#

So we can watch them pat themselves on the back about being happy with warrior

dim basalt
#

And I can't reroll back to hunter because we have 3 lol

#

I mean staff would prob let me do it and make one of the others reroll but that's nasty

formal verge
#

Best positive change we got for tww has been arms not being squishy af as it was in df

charred brook
#

I don’t wanna play col if I have to play ss

lean geode
#

I'm trying to fix arms wowa shit and now I'm worried that I'm being dumb

#

Also if anyone has any logs where they know they delayed SD to perfection (preferably with a vod to go with it) can you send them to me so I can test the fix? peepoBlush

tacit crystal
#

erm

#

im not saying im tmy

#

but i think i do it

#

@lean geode

lean geode
#

I'm using a very loose definition of perfection

#

if you vaguely attempted to delay SD that's probably fine

#

Sending with like 3 or fewer seconds on your 1 stack

tacit crystal
#

no i greed it to last global bud

lean geode
#

Do you have a vod as well I can cross check

tacit crystal
#

where post

lean geode
#

The problem is the log events themselves so otherwise I have to calculate the duration manually

silver cloak
#

at how many stacks of collateral damage should i use cleave in st

south beacon
#

Anyone know where this vendor is for the hellfire shards

shadow ibex

sick leaf
#

hey guys, running 17 rook - second boss... i get void thing like 4 times in a row. how tf do you survive? i just melt

balmy kindle
#

You have to pass the thing to other members without stacking the debuff

analog smelt
#

is it rng to be able to hit 2 or 3 mortal strike in a row?

#

sometimes i can do that but sometimes its usually just 1 time

minor gust
analog smelt
#

ah i see

#

they should totally buff that to 50% hehehe

shadow ibex
#

experience the mop fury

minor gust
#

I will yeah

#

got a warrior to 85 havent really geared it yet been playing other games

shadow ibex
#

im kind of tempted to but i have 0 classic chars

#

just at least until .2

spiral coral
#

Get debuff, dstance, give it off, switch back, rinse and repeat

#

Surprised you got to 17 without doing this tbh

hardy olive
#

first goblin loot

balmy kindle
magic canopy
#

even in 19s i dont really need to dstance outside of situations where i have nothing left

boreal hawk
#

is better lens or hoc (myth) for u? hoc sims like 0.5% more , but idk maybe lens stat boost are better? idk what to use ngl

magic canopy
#

i prefer house

#

its close to lens but lens is also rng stat

boreal hawk
#

i just got myth hoc but i always liked lens on my arms, currently as i said only sims 0.5 to 0.6 higher...idk... xD

magic canopy
#

tbh idk whats actually better at higher target caps

dim basalt
#

HoC should be more consistent in aoe no?

thick kelp
#

Yeah mastery gains value on aoe

simple lintel
#

Hey, how important is weapon damage? I got Crashing Thunderhammer in vault with a top weapon damage of 17.5 k, simming it vs Dessias which is very similar that has 21 k. Other than that the stats are very similar. (Crashing Thunderhammer has a higher min weapon damage)

Sim says they are about equal, but since arms is so crit dependent, does weapon damage matter?

eager sigil
#

weapon types dont matter

#

its all normalized

quaint otter
#

Weapon damage matters the most

eager sigil
#

ilvl does

quaint otter
#

Ah min damage is shit

#

The dps is a thing

simple lintel
#

Yeah I'm mainly thinking about the weapon damage ranges, the sim places them equal, but I think it's the vanilla mindset of "higher max weapon damage == bigger crits"

stable fiber
#

this isnt how it works anymore now though, it is normalized based off the dps number while your auto attacks fall in the range of "10,164 - 21,111 damage"

#

which amongst 2 equal ilvl weapons even with slower speeds and different damage ranges, will never have a affect on your dps positively or negatively

#

all of that also applies to crits and stuff

simple lintel
stable fiber
#

weapon you really only care about ilvl

#

unless there is a cantrip weapon that is better (gally and oab weapon being filling that criteria)

wet slate
#

Quick question, as a Prot Warrior in M+, I'm gonna have to dps the raid, is Arms better than Fury?

quaint otter
#

They're close now...

odd crest
wet slate
#

Sick! I'll do Arms, then, if that's the case 😄 Thanks!!

mental flower
#

hey quick question!

when do u use Best-in-Slots active as Arms when using House of Cards?

On CD or align it with CS?

thick kelp
#

HoC with Avatar, BIS on CD

wind flicker
#

Walhe

#

Im 100% sure you tested this

#

How is the lineup for collat

#

I barely did any research this season, came back a few weeks ago.

worthy mortar
#

any way to fix 2499/2500 gallagio rep bug?

lunar remnant
#

Do you think we still need class buffs with the tier new sets?

sick leaf

#

Comparing fury max potential to arms maybe. Depends if blizzard wants nunbers closer to arms or fury

void bay
golden smelt
spiral coral
#

They should be focusing the person who has it, but, ya know.

#

So just dstance dance and then whatever else you need and you’ll get it

wanton sierra
#

there is a bunch of those capivaras here in my region, they are docil and sweet... sometimes we need to stop the car coz they are laid on the road xD

spiral coral
#

Capybaras are so awesome

#

Definitely going to look into getting some when I retire lol

#

And peacocks

#

Super easy to take care of, basically chickens

#

My kid is 10 today critcake

#

Where did the time go ffs

wanton sierra
#

yes, here in Brasil we got tons of em! and bunch of other animals... when ppl in canada need to wear bear spray, here we need to pay attention... my gf and i was hiking, and then we found an kitty cat lay down... when she said "come here kitty kitty" the cat got up and then we noticed that he was all muscular, it was an Jaguatirica (its an kind of wild cat, leopard family i guess) we run our hearts out xD very scary and dangerous

Hello,

I haven't played wow since 2017, I'm starting again on my war arms, can you advise me which addons to download please?

spiral coral
spiral coral
#

I only have like, 4 or 5 add ons max. Details, decursive, some bag add on, bartender, and Weak Aura for trackers for whatever spec I’m playing if I need it

#

Oh yeah DBM, and BigWigs

#

For boss fights and m+ but I have all the Audio queues turned off so I forget I have them at this point

stable wraith
olive nest
stable wraith
olive nest
#

Details, big wigs, plater, weakauras,
(Optional: uuf, omnicd)

spiral coral
#

Oh shit forgot about omnicd

olive nest
#

Takes a little effort to configure yourself but you’ll have +100fps versus the full ui packages that go with elvui

spiral coral
#

And plater 🤦‍♂️

#

Omg how many addons do I use that have become so standard I forgot about lol

thick kelp
#

Omnicd is certainly not mandatory xdd

rare kite
#

what's uuf?

spiral coral
#

Absolutely not but for m+ its pretty goated

thick kelp
spiral coral
#

To see what ppls interrupts are up

thick kelp
#

lightweight unit frame addon

spiral coral
thick kelp
#

Miles ahead

#

of suf

spiral coral
#

rare kite
olive nest
#

Weakauras could just provide the same thing as omnicd but omnicd is all in one and fairly easy to configure

stable wraith
olive nest
#

I don’t even know what that is lol

latent moss
#

iirc

olive nest
#

Made omnicd optional so walhe happier

fresh spire
latent moss
#

ye it is the same dev

thick kelp
#

Matilda was the kid they were talking about before your message

latent moss
#

uuf was cool back when i tried it

#

it was still in giga beta

thick kelp
#

But paying attention and reading is optional here

thick kelp
latent moss
thick kelp
#

and Fragnance has a very cool profile now

latent moss
#

anchoring was the only thing keeping me away

#

wanted to anchor player and target frame to wa

thick kelp
#

like anchoring WA's to the frames or what

latent moss
#

other way around but ye

thick kelp
#

ye

#

should work now

latent moss
#

based

#

good addon

#

uuf is what an addon should be

thick kelp
#

I had pots + extra shits ancored to UUF_Player and UUF_Target

latent moss
#

does what it says and nothing more

olive nest
#

It’s skinned similar to elvui right just significantly less impactful on fps?

latent moss
#

its frames

#

elvui has

thick kelp
#

yes

latent moss
#

3289572305230238923958239

#

features

thick kelp
#

but its only unitframes

#

vs what cone said about elfui

olive nest
#

Right right

latent moss
#

elvui is so overkill for everyone legit

#

people use elvui for ui skin and bars and frames

thick kelp
#

Elvui is one of those addons where you literally dont install anything else on top

latent moss
#

yep

olive nest
#

It honestly is I’m making the swap to what I listed above myself

latent moss
#

thats how i used to play

olive nest
#

And just using atrocity weakaura package for warrior

#

lol

latent moss
#

i put action bar1 split it into 2 rows and put it in the middle of the screen

#

added some wa trackers

scenic umbra
#

wow ui and some random WA for the win

olive nest
#

Actually might use tmy weakaura

scenic umbra
#

elv ui it so 2015

olive nest
#

Because that’s plus 100 dps

#

Ez

latent moss
#

its better

#

atrocity wa feels like he doesnt play warrior idk

#

still no unhinged tracker iirc

thick kelp
#

atrocity is giga meh for warriors

#

need to add alot of shit and remove alot of bloat

latent moss
#

tracking way too much as well

#

and then not tracking a bunch as well

olive nest
#

Yeah probably swap to tmy, I currently use Naowhs

latent moss
#

hoooly

latent moss
olive nest
#

Naowhs is actually pretty good just had to re arrange icons to my liking and add some load unload conditions to help maintain the order I like based on spec/talents

#

For fury though it has way to much glow on every ability lmao

tacit crystal
#

where is tmy ui

olive nest
#

Had it disable some of the conditions

latent moss
#

idk wallife pov is so hard to watch

#

giga cluttered

tacit crystal
#

where is it

thick kelp
#

and its Fragnance UI

olive nest
#

Yeah tmy has a whole ui you can get

thick kelp
#
  • his own public warrior WA pack

That’s not fragnance that’s all tmys

quick response from vozochris

what did he cook

#

sounds like tech

dull siren
#

you want icon or bar

latent moss
#

what does it do

thick kelp
#

He wants to know how it works

latent moss
#

it has a cool name

dull siren
#

oh

#

well blizzard made so WW gets triggered on last tick of Rampage

thick kelp
#

Stating obvious here

dull siren
#

so the WA is custom to response to the Rampage press

latent moss
#

ah

dull siren
thick kelp

Just put the custom code in the bag

dull siren
#

I like the bar tho took some brain to make it work me and vozo spent some time in a call together

olive nest
#

Bar is better

#

Agree

dull siren
#

It's using Tick Functions

latent moss
#

flintstones ahh

#

ye bars are way more complex

dull siren
#

It also resizes with everything

#

so we had to make it 1 bar then make each tick into 1 section

#

for the instant response for rampage

latent moss
#

ye

#

i remember doing combo points for rogue

#

hooly

dull siren
#

the bar just goes hard tho

#

better than icon tracking (personal take) gg

thick kelp
#

rare tmy W

dull siren
#

???

olive nest
#

Bar is easier to track than icon with small number text

latent moss
#

i like it in the middle like aui

#

or a bit to the side i forgor

#

why do u track rampage

celest forge
#

Isn't this just cooldown manager?

latent moss
#

no

dull siren
#

Rampage is just there cus I was lazy to fix the rage bar

#

recolor when usable

olive nest
# dull siren

Can’t believe no slam icon between rampage and execute

dull siren
#

I fixed swing tracker to recolor when Wild Strikes procced ratge

#

one bar fixed at least

latent moss
#

typical

#

mf will sit in a call

#

make a wa that makes ur ww stack expire 1s faster

#

but wont make a simple condition

#

if rage >80 green or w/e color

dull siren
#

The simple things r the annoying things

olive nest
#

Well I mean, I like to have the icons in the top row left to right match my 1-5 binds

#

So works for me

#

Wow players want you to have your entire bloodline farming them mounts and not get any of them before the heat death of the universe because "the pixels are sooo prestigious!"

olive nest
#

Tbf the game does kinda lack prestige these days

nova marsh
#

Im kinda over that shit at this point

#

But maybe its because im a filthy casual heroic raider who barely got 3k this season

#

So I wouldn't get it

olive nest
#

Like you can commit 5-6 days a week of your life for 6 weeks straight to get hall of fame and then others just buy a spot with 40 mill or some shit

#

Same with .1% title and glad in pvp

olive nest
nova marsh
#

I've heard people quit the game because mounts were made slightly more obtainable

olive nest
#

Yeah I think people over react like it’s still rng at the end of the day

#

Some people farmed icc for 10 years every week

#

And some got it in 1 try

spiral coral

If they made old pvp colors available for PvE players omg the riot

And its from wrath

TLPD is the true wotlk end game mount

#

Before people started selling tags

I love old textures and weird/shitty designs they did back then we thought were cool

It’s a style you either like or don’t

Very heartfelt

I forgot I had the og arctic wolf form before they changed the graphics

And took it out in dorn

One guy lost his mind

spiral coral
#

Everytime they make another quest I have to go back and get my cape back then leave the game lol

#

Best storytelling of any game, ever

#

Imo

olive nest
#

I’m close to quest cape needed a few runecrafting levels iirc

#

Haven’t logged into osrs for probably 5 years?

#

I’m sure I have more to do now

Desert Treasure 2 was like, the best. I can’t recapture that with any other game.

I’ve never been more sad in a game when I finished the last quest in osrs, I was like “tf do I do now, hit a tree for 100+ hours?”

olive nest
#

I liked to do the “afk” farms

#

Also really like fist of guthix before that got removed

#

Clan wars was sick too

spiral coral
#

I think the wow community playing osrs now is really funny and great for both communities

plush smelt
#

Idk i was addicted to raids on my main for a bit, then finished maxing, then gp didnt matter to me anymore so i made sn ironman and every little upgrade gave me a massive dopamine hit

spiral coral
#

Soda Poppin dying to dark wizards was peak

plush smelt
#

Im happy the game is doing well but i never see myself playing it again

#

Ive got trauma now

spiral coral
#

Yeah I couldn’t

#

They’re all hoping for sailing to hit

plush smelt
#

See idk about sailing

#

I think the game needed a new skill to grow more

olive nest
#

Sailing does not look appealing to me whatsoever

plush smelt
#

But like in rs3 sailing is basically a minigame

#

And it does p much all the things osrs sailing does minus the actual sailing portion. You hire crew, build ships, send them out, experience stories in a new area, visit islands with special resources and mobs

#

Its called uh

#

Player owned Ports i think

wispy field
#

hey how do u use BIS?

olive nest
#

I macro it to colossus smash and forget about it

#

But you use it on cooldown after on use trinkets

shadow ibex
#

Soon we will be free from bis

olive nest
#

I can’t wait for that tbh

#

Juggling overlapping on use effects is definitely an annoyance lol

rare kite
#

just don't use an on use trinket. bingchilling

lethal acorn

fading ether
plush smelt
#

I remember the poll they did at the time for the new skill

#

It was sailing, taming, and shaman-ing(?)

#

Something like that

#

Taming was vanilla af and boring just osrs summoning but watered down

#

The shaman stuff was the most out there idea they pitched but i felt like had the capacity to do the most snd be an integrated skill

#

Sailing was a safr middle

#

But idk i think people are too judgey saying shit like “thus skill can be a minigame!”

#

Like brother theres like 4 skills that are just minigames now

sly haven
#

do arms use jastor ring

eager sigil
#

yes

olive nest
#

Rik neck, jastor ring + high crit low haste oab ring

#

Mmm

#

I need that roulette ring to roll the correct stats!!

eager sigil
#

just get cauldron ring

olive nest
#

I have it

#

I want to do front flips

eager sigil
#

fair

crude hull
#

I take it Demolish is still kinda of trashy for raid fights?

olive nest
#

Live patch it’s behind slayer yeah

crude hull
#

Sad. It's a ton more fun, shame to see Slayer is still pulling ahead despite how boringly braindead it is

stable fiber
#

i think you will play it more next raid

#

fights seem very good for colossus

crude hull
#

That's amazing news

stable fiber
#

thats feelscraft of a single ptr raid though

#

but it did feel a lot better to play

crude hull
#

Honestly I might just go Colossus anyway, I'm so sick and tired of Slayer and how little it changes

crude hull
#

Slayer's just so... boring?

hexed snow
#

Me execute

crude hull
#

Don't get me wrong it was my first pick too but it just

hexed snow
#

Me jugg

crude hull
#

Doesn't do much

hexed snow
#

I clicked demolish but my tanked moved 5 yrds

stable fiber
smoky kayak
#

tbf they have to pull more than 5 yards for it to fail

smoky kayak
#

but I agree that is the worst part of demo atm

#

Tier doesn't really do a whole lot to Colossus gameplay except add SkS (which could be good or bad depending on how much you like it), but Slayer is a little more exciting due to the increased SD procs and priority

shadow ibex
#

Especially when it isn't like we are dealing many more times dmg than any other spec that doesn't have such gameplay

crude hull
#

I just feel like Slayer, while very strong, is also kinda bland. No new abilities, nothing really shiny or cool (despite all of the talents being useful and upgrades, obv)

shadow ibex
#

If there was a risk reward angle they might have a case but the reward is being a dps class in wow

hexed snow
#

Im excied for slayer

smoky kayak
crude hull
#

I kinda miss the times when big number crits still made me tingle and warriors were these unstoppable powerhouses. And not just.. idk, homogenized ability animations and a kinda watered down class identity

smoky kayak
#

I mean... Warriors definitely have big number crits, that's one of Arms (esp Colossus') main shticks

#

and I don't think the class identity has been watered down at all, if anything it's just always been kind of bland

crude hull
#

Myeah

#

I'll give Colossus a go, see if that makes me interested again. But I wish they'd be a little more inventive with warriors

smoky kayak
#

when people say things like that, it more often reads as "I miss when Warrior was overpowered" rather than any actual complaint with theme, mehcanics, or design... which is fine, but you can't always expect to be the top dog in a game with so many varied classes and specs so dracthyr_shrug

#

just kinda something you gotta learn to live with

#

I came to terms with it a long time ago, and so I just... play while I enjoy playing, and don't when I don't

crude hull
#

Oh nah I played Warrior back in vanilla, I just liked plate and big weapons. It was a struggle but it was great when MS crit and you just destroyed something

#

Surely I like to be competitive in raids but

#

Idk I guess warrior has started to lose that amazing thing it once had

dim basalt
#

I mean, we still have that part

crude hull
#

(I'd happily steal a bunch of abilities and animations from other games. Diablo, GW2, FF14, Darksiders...)

smoky kayak
#

yeah idk, I mean vanilla was a very different game - MS might have felt more impactful becuase you spent 90% of your time just auto attacking, but I don't really think that's an improvement over being able to... you know, press buttons

crude hull
#

Oh you're 100% right

smoky kayak
#

but that paradigm also changed with TBC, so I wouldn't say that Warrior has "started" to lose it when it's like... 20 years removed at this point DogeLaugh

hexed snow
#

Wanna spam execute

crude hull
#

But I do feel like every class has sped up by a lot over the years to the point where it's all just "spam abilities"

smoky kayak
#

this is true

crude hull
#

I'd happily press half the buttons of it meant MS hit twice as hard

smoky kayak
#

ironically they repeatedly tried to make Arms a slow spec, but players hated it every time

crude hull
#

I'm probably an outlier there ngl

smoky kayak
#

literally every single time they tried it, it was panned so hard that they spent the rest of the expansion slowly speeding it back up

#

I get the intent, but it's something that's really hard to make feel satisfying

crude hull
#

I tend to look at it like playing something like a heavy gunner or using a big gun in other games. Low rate of fire, but landing a shot tears things a new hole

smoky kayak
#

it's other failures aside, I think demo does a pretty decent job of it (that longer cast in exchange for a big hit), and Devoker does it pretty well too

#

Yeah, I think it's just hard to make that feel good as a melee

#

with casters, it's easier because you have that cast bar right - even though you're still not doing anything, you get a sense of feedback that something is happening or being built up to

#

whereas a "slow" melee doesn't have that sense of feedback, you're just sitting there waiting for auto attack resources or a cooldown till you can press a button again

#

Blizz' solution was to create a rotation of big highs (MS) and lower lows (Slam), so that you're still doing something while waiting for the big button - it might not feel particularly rewarding, but it is at least more engaging than just sitting on your thumbs

crude hull
#

Slam spamming will always be the lamest part of the class

smoky kayak
#

well the fact that we can end up in a position where we have to use it multiple times in a row is the real failure there... I think it's actually pretty easy to fix though

#

slam itself is fine, it just shouldn't be used 3x in a row lol

#

definitely an interesting point of design philosophy though, finding the right mix between "dead time" and "busy work" in a rotation that still feels compelling

crude hull
#

The obvious fix is adding something like "...each subsequent use of Slam increases the change of proccing X by 33%"...

#

Or hell 50%

smoky kayak
#

I've put forward a few suggestions like that, the easy one is just giving Slam a 2x chance to trigger Tactician

a more complicated one would be something like "Slam reduces the cooldown on Mortal Strike by 1.5s"

rare kite
smoky kayak
#

I think there are other factors that go into that though
for example, in Cata you can mix in HS, so pressing Slam twice in a row doesn't feel so bad

dim basalt
#

Idk its not that bad as Slayer because you know Opportunist hits hard

rare kite
#

yeah and in cata you know you're guaranteed to get overpower

crude hull
#

I would still hope they do something more interesting with Arms or Warrior in the long term (And I'm firmly in the "TG was a bad idea" camp)

rare kite
#

tg as in titans grip? i don't really think it's very relevant whether warrior uses 2 1handers or 2 2handers gameplay wise

#

it's just whether you think 2 2handers is cool or silly looks/feel wise.

crude hull
#

Yeah, Titan's Grip. It made Arms look less impressive (the guys all about big weapons are now outshined by the guys using TWO big weapons) and SMF (Single-Minded Fury) is about as viable as playing the game with your feet instead of hands

#

And hey, SMF would be the one class/spec I can see being very fitting for the spam and high amount of abilities per minute playstyle

#

Anyway I'll give Colossus a whirl for a bit, see if that makes me less bored of warrior

#

👍🏻

rare kite
#

i think colossus is alot more fun than slayer. mostly because of battelord, ms resets feel good

minor gust
#

This version of arms requires battlelord and EB to be even remotely. Enjoyable to play

rare kite
#

yeah battelord should be higher up in the tree imo. makes overpower feel decent to press as well

minor gust
#

I do think tho for a full rework for warrior adding something that enables the spartan theme would go pretty hard. Rework MTN thane to let fury use 2H and shield

rare kite
#

yeah that would be cool. Hoplite hero spec or something

minor gust
#

MTN thane would make the most sense to go for it. Can prob keep the whole theme and everything be a lightning/thunder spartan

teal fossil
#

all the "design issues" goes out the window when the spec is simming highest

#

kind of like what dks are doing right now lol

rare kite
#

i just want procs to feel great and press the proc as i get it

steep osprey
#

Idk why they're making things complicated

#

just do it

#

haste buff, who cares

teal fossil
#

id rather 2% crit but yeah i get you

#

probably with haste is that you can feel it

rare kite
#

tho idk if overpower tactician can ever feel "great" for me, feels pretty decent with battelord tho

steep osprey
#

Would be cool if their names were "Spec" Presence

#

Same buff, just different names based on the spec

shadow ibex
#

It's supposed to be some tactial ability with big pay off

#

Per their description from the beta

#

Instead, as Madox has voiced, you feel like Jason Bourne in AoE, doing all these set up globals

smoky kayak
#

I mean you're presuming that the ability failing the way it does is an intended feature

#

which is a pretty bold presumption

shadow ibex
#

Just to be on par with some other guy

#

I say it does

#

Either their lying or its under tuned

smoky kayak
#

also idk what you mean by "supposed to be a tactical ability with a big pay off" - it's a cooldown like p much everything else

shadow ibex
#

I'm using blizzards own descriptions for why it must root

#

which yes is dumb as you pointed out

#

Because that's just buttons in an MMO

#

The ability is awkward to use because they feel that has some intangible value or flavor that we can't quantify

sour forge
#

I think demolish is a perfect candidate for being an empowered spell

shadow ibex
#

I'd say bladestorm is probably closer than demolish to being an empower

minor gust
#

I wouldnt say perfect but it could become one

shadow ibex
#

which is to say I dont think either is a good candidate but if I had to pick

minor gust
#

same way like Bladestorm could aswell

shadow ibex
#

At least the one that doesn't keep me immobile while I do whatever empowering is

minor gust
#

honestly you guys ready for a cook

#

I just omega cooked this up

sour forge
#

Okay carmy

shadow ibex
#

make demolish hit like war breaker?

#

is that the cook

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

cleave crits apply rend?

#

im not gonna lie when i see cleaving strikes get removed from DK i have hope for us with sweeping being gone

#

cleaving strikes replaced with frost scythe does more dmg while remorsless is active

olive nest
#

Demolish should have infinite range and apply 99 executioners precision stacks to all targets hit by it

sour forge
#

Lmao

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

yea man

sour forge
#

Demolish applies sks if talented

shadow ibex
#

its simple things like that

shadow ibex
#

like yea do i hate my oblits wont hit 3 targets for 3mil each

#

yea that's kinda meh to see go, but i only liked it cuz big number

minor gust
#

oh yeah as soon as I saw it I was like this is perfect

shadow ibex
#

the reverse of it was holy fuck

#

standing in dnd to do aoe sucks

#

now i dont have to

#

i wish we had that same eye and idk emotional intelligence when it came to making stuff for arms/war

minor gust
#

one day

olive nest
#

Anytime you have to stand inside of a circle to do optimal damage the design is bad and they need to re think it

shadow ibex
#

like holy fuck just be a game developer that's what yal job is

minor gust
#

but yeah they have been cooking with some other classes very well this expansion

#

like 11.1 completly solved DH for me

#

Havoc fuckin owns to play now

steep osprey
#

I think demolish shouldn't need a target to be used

#

just pop it straight up

shadow ibex
#

the frost DK changes are super divisive but the fact they are changing

#

and the way they are changing you can see a clear design

shadow ibex
#

this is the howling blast side

#

this is the oblit side

steep osprey
#

Howling Blast still seems mid

shadow ibex
#

i mean you should see the amount of talents that boost it

steep osprey
#

I did

shadow ibex
#

its unreal

steep osprey
#

Feels like the proc rate of rime is worse

shadow ibex
#

and then you have some that make it hit like 300% harder on secondary target

#

so you might have some target switching optimal tech

#

if it hits X target harder than primary etc etc

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

i dont think we have a DK right now

#

if we needed one i would probably do it atp

#

if arms is slayer again and #no changes

olive nest
#

Next tier is the tier to be a DK

steep osprey
#

FS too

minor gust
#

with new execute conditions I think slayer will be fine

#

just boring

steep osprey
#

HB was pretty useless

shadow ibex
#

ive never not raided on war but im done playing unhinged EB jugg EP same talent for what feels like forever

olive nest
#

Amz stonks rising

shadow ibex
#

just bored

#

slam same talent set up across 3 tiers/tier sets

minor gust
#

yeah im hoping for a colossus Blord angle as well

#

I need Blord man

#

spec is so shit to play without

steep osprey
#

Battlelord should be higher up

minor gust
#

yeah

shadow ibex
#

man this is fun guys

#

i delayed my MS cuz opp proc wheeeeeeeeeeew this gameplay

olive nest
#

Slam slam slam ms slam slam slam ms slam slam slam ms slam slam slam ms

shadow ibex
#

milk that jug

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

i can appreciate that at least

#

paying attention and using exe only at X stacks but at the same time

#

weak aura ahhh spec

smoky kayak
#

it is better, though kind of in a bad way

#

real major improvement for Fury though

shadow ibex
#

if they leaned into that more i dont mind it

#

it checks whatever "tactical warrior" box arms is supposed to be

minor gust
#

Still hoping for those jugg changes to come a long

#

pray for today or tomorrow

smoky kayak
#

I'm certain that jugg will see some changes by 12.0; can't promise anything for 11.2 though

shadow ibex
#

like if the gameplay of slayer was yea play around these stacks, this hero spec is about managing MFE and that's the skill ceiling and expression

#

i think that would be great

#

clear mission statement etc etc

#

i may not like it but its at least a clear picture

#

instead it seems more of hey this is a bandaid to make jugg perma instead of adjusting the talent

olive nest
#

You will jug gamba another tier and you will like it! john blizzard

fresh spire
#

today surely copium

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

we cba to fix it not so here's this tier set to remove the issue for the time being

shadow ibex
#

which hey points for acknowledging the issue but just excise it not throw a bandaid

smoky kayak
smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

i dont think that's a good thing, especially in this case

#

with how hated and problematic jug is

smoky kayak
#

eh

#

I think that's kind of a biased take

shadow ibex
#

i dont think there is any defense of such a talent in the modern game

#

it just doesn't work with how encounters are designed

smoky kayak
#

like being more concerned with why they aren't making good enough changes fast enough, rather than just acknowledging they did something to address the problem

shadow ibex
smoky kayak
latent moss
shadow ibex
#

they can promise plenty, but this is the same people that said they are happy with warrior

#

and I don't think any of us resonated with that statement

olive nest
#

I think it’s fair to be bothered by warrior specs not seeing much attention at all when spriest gets reworked for the 5th time

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

but they've had plenty of time

#

they've had multiple minor patches in this very patch to try something

#

we've seen classes on their 3rd? rework

latent moss
#

icl i agree

#

i want to see that jugg change you and fishy proposed

neon ocean
#

There's nothing wrong with jugg, slayer introduced this problem by allowing you to stack jugg while over 35% - would honestly be a blessing if it just didn't work above execute health percentages

smoky kayak
#

I don't think someone who has no understanding of their prioritization or work flow can really decide if they've had "enough time" or not

neon ocean
#

And tuned us around that

shadow ibex
#

its exhausting to discuss this stuff because we've been talkiing about it for years

minor gust
latent moss
#

takes too long to stack unless u have infinite rage (dragonflight)

smoky kayak
#

Yeah, that's why we suggest changes

latent moss
#

hopefully they listen

shadow ibex
latent moss
smoky kayak
#

Sure, you can criticize all you want, nobody stopping you

#

and I mean I'm on your side, I want it changed - it's been a central part of my Arms feedback for the whole expansion

fresh spire
#

:madge:

shadow ibex
#

it doesn't seem like any of this arms feedback is being listened to or reaching them

smoky kayak
#

cause I (and many others) recognized from the start that the combo of Slayer + Jugg was going to be a problem

shadow ibex
#

we've had dead talents for multiple years now

#

that we know are dead, they know are dead

smoky kayak
#

you say that, except they literally just made changes improving it lol

olive nest
#

Atleast we have warbringer

shadow ibex
#

i mean this is the same team that didn't know warbringer and warbreaker

smoky kayak
#

and "dead talents" is a whole other conversation - there will always be "dead talents" in some form or another

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

i don't think its out of pocket to say the job they are doing is a bad one

latent moss
#

the only talent i understand making fun of is spiteful serenity

shadow ibex
#

yes, they make issues but they made that issue for as long as the talent existed

smoky kayak
#

they actually did improve several dead talents and shook up talent builds as a whole several times this expansion

shadow ibex
#

it's not a big deal, it's more a smoking gun to show the apathy

latent moss
#

colo and slayer are where they should be imo

smoky kayak
#

which is not to say every "dead talent" is necessarily fixed, but it's never going to be either

latent moss
#

colo is blord ms spam slayer is exe spam

shadow ibex
#

warbringer/breaker is no where near a big deal

neon ocean
#

I've enjoyed cleave being a whirlwind replacement and actually being an effective ability

smoky kayak
#

people idealizing absolute perfection are deluding themselves into unreasonable expections

neon ocean
#

That didn't exist much in dragonflight

shadow ibex
#

i dont think these are unreasonable

latent moss
shadow ibex
#

they are a multi billion dollar company

smoky kayak
#

expecting things to happen on your timetable is

shadow ibex
#

just asking them to do better

smoky kayak
#

expecting there to be no "dead talents" is

shadow ibex
#

expecting things to happen at all

olive nest
#

It’s perfectly reasonable to expect more frequent balancing passes or ability changes when other classes get them so often/repeatedly

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

they took the time to rework dance of death to no use at all if we wanna talk about time table

smoky kayak
#

and if yall were paying attention earlier I very strongly hinted that jugg changes are coming down the pipeline...

shadow ibex
#

so, yea maybe they are just bad at their job if they are taking time to work on something only for it to remain dead

#

maybe they just stink

smoky kayak
#

community manager

steep osprey
shadow ibex
#

that's why we get things like spiteful serenity being a worse anger management. maybe someone is just bad at their job

candid pecan
shadow ibex
#

this version of dance of death is different from DF dance of death

steep osprey
#

I think the idea of Dance of Death is nice

#

but they need to do something more

smoky kayak
#

that applies to a lot of talents tbh

shadow ibex
#

they took the time to change a talent that hadn't been used all expac, to a talent that hasn't been used all expac

smoky kayak
#

Storm of Steel is a very good example of something that has a strong hypothetical use, but no practical one

shadow ibex
#

so if their time table is the issue, maybe they suck at managing time? if they are dedicating stuff to "fix" something only for it to still be dead

minor gust
#

Dance of Death just needs to be giga buffed

smoky kayak
#

like theoretically, being able to back to back Bladestorm could be very powerful, but in a practical sense there's almost never any reason to

steep osprey
#

Isn't Storm of Steel used in PvP?

minor gust
#

it has its niche

steep osprey
shadow ibex
neon ocean
#

I kinda hope they do something with tclap rending, is the dot really that powerful that you have to limit it to 6 per use - I certainly don't think so

smoky kayak
#

yeah it has more use in PvP for the anti-cc properties, idk if it's currently played though

shadow ibex
#

even with the potential for x2 cc immune

steep osprey
#

I think that node needs to be completely replaced by something else for Fury

neon ocean
#

It's not an spriest dot like the shadow crash spreading stuff

smoky kayak
#

Dance of Death similarly has a strong hypothetical use in funneling damage, but its up against such strong talents that you never really have an opportunity to use it

neon ocean
#

And even they have it better because shadow crash hits hard now with 2 charges

latent moss
shy tide
#

tbh the main part i dislike about slayer is that it has cdr on top of the cdr we already have in the kit making it so shit constantly desyncs, i still remember playing court on prog and bladestorm having a variance of 30-40 seconds depending on pull if it was up for certain parts or not

latent moss
#

just make it not shorten the duration on rend

smoky kayak
#

does that mean the talent is bad, the placement on the tree is bad, or that the competition is too strong? probably a bit of all three

steep osprey
#

It's one of the worst talents ever, it needs to have no downsides to be worth using imo

latent moss
#

make it deal 100% more damage

minor gust
latent moss
#

unhinged value

#

bro make it like breath

smoky kayak
#

I mean the talent really isn't actually all that weak in the right conditions

latent moss
#

as long as u are spending rage

#

u keep ravager upp

smoky kayak
#

yall would be surprised how strong it could be

latent moss
#

imagine slayer spamming execute

shadow ibex
#

i really dont think we would be surprised how strong it could be

smoky kayak
#

but the practical reality is that the things you'd have to drop for it are just.. better

#

so is it too weak or are they too strong?

steep osprey
#

Why didn't Demolish get the Empowerment thing that Dracthyr has?

#

Would be interesting

smoky kayak
#

this is kind of the inevitable result of a talent system

minor gust
#

fun thinking would be its too weak

latent moss
minor gust
#

and needs buffs to make it competitive

olive nest
shadow ibex
#

yea its a shame they havent had multiple years to realize the mistake

smoky kayak
shadow ibex
#

and maybe move the talent higher

steep osprey
#

make Dance of Death baseline

neon ocean
#

Does demolish still end if your target moves an inch too far, I only just started back on my warrior and haven't had it happen yet but know that it did exist

latent moss
#

fury needs god way more than arms atm ngl

smoky kayak
#

its more like 10 yards

neon ocean
#

Kinda weird considering that didn't happen with the fyrakk version

steep osprey
#

Why can't Demolish just hit the area infront of you instead of specifically targeting an enemy

smoky kayak
#

because the first two strikes are targeted, only the third hit is an AoE

neon ocean
#

^

shadow ibex
#

because the intial design was flawed

latent moss
#

make it 1 massive hit no target required

shadow ibex
#

and we're dealing with devs who won't admit mistake

latent moss
#

would go hard

minor gust
latent moss
#

idk demolish is more than fine

#

i fw it

#

its annoying sometimes but just ass tank idk

#

or u made a mistake

smoky kayak
#

demolish is fun af, if they fix the canceling it'll be fine

shadow ibex
#

needs to do more dmg to warrant the set up in our aoe

minor gust
#

They increased the range

steep osprey
shadow ibex
#

of like 5 globals

steep osprey
#

Like if you rampage then leap, it stil does the full damage

minor gust
#

so shouldnt cancel when tank moves mobs mid cast astleast

smoky kayak
latent moss
#

colossus is spot on for arms

shadow ibex
#

as are other classes next tier

latent moss
#

more damage on ur biggest spells

plush smelt
#

From the tierset ya

shadow ibex
#

tier sets increase dmg usually

smoky kayak
#

not always

look at thane lol

LMAO

or half the fury sets for the past 2 expacs
