#

I started tanking some keys and all I learned is that if you roll your face across the keyboard, you're practically invincible

#

you also can't lose threat and out dps a surprising amount of players in the process thinkin

haha i wouldn't recommend it, you'll run out of block charges rapidly

#

the iron fur thing is real though, it's disgusting

#

and it's your only uptime defensive so it literally turns bear into a dps rotation

#

Meanwhile I did a 14 priory key with a Bdk buddy and those guys are down bad the yo-yoing hp gave the shaman a heart attack

#

He just explodes every pull lmao

minor gust
#

i mean thats just blood

dire hinge
#

if a blood dk dies it's their fault hmmNod the shaman is there for moral support

thats how they work

No I know but he was panicking a lot more than usual

it doesn't follow pandemic rules? 😳

#

or rather, it pandemics at more than 30%?

rapid bronze
#

Doesn’t it work like avatar sweeping strikes when you have it talented and then you press SS and it just adds the duration?

latent moss
#

trampoline hp is just their design

#

and people playing bdk love that design

#

and tbh it is fun

#

legit if u die its ur fault

Soooo

#

Is it getting to that time we do the discord shutdown thing to get buffs yet?

wet magnet
#

wdym we got one

dire hinge
#

we dont need buffs peepoHappyFisher

glacial rapids

#

we're still at one of the most closely balanced points in WoW (ever), just beacuse we're at the bottom of a list isn't a bad thing

#

it's not like MoP warlock 😂

radiant dawn
#

Yeah it might feel bad to be lower on the tiers but if you don't think you can't feel bad

#

So just don't think

#

Just play and vibe

minor gust
#

after the last buff for arms its dmg is fine.

#

What needs to happen now is the top end needs to come down a lil now

glacial rapids
#

Or just buff execute for arms only

latent moss
#

what would that accomplish

bad joke, maybe

Topping the charts as Arms feels so good

It’s pretty great to feel like you know your class and play it well and end up beating most people you group with in lfg as a warrior

But then sometimes you queue up with competent people and it just doesn’t matter you will lose to the frost dk

Yup! They’re a little more spendy, like $80-$90 usd but if that’s the one you like might be worth it. Otherwise the scimatar was a good substitute for me

#

scimitar, that's razer?

#

or corsair?

dull dock
outer forge
#

right on

rapid bronze
#

I use scimitar too and it’s pretty great

#

Took like 5 years before I had to replace it as well because the middle button started getting finicky

dull dock
#

Yea and the scimatar’s side buttons are adjustable so you can adjust it to be more comfortable for your finger length

rapid bronze
#

Yeah the panel slides back and forth

#

Doesn’t it have more buttons than the Logitech equivalent?

finally moved into the new spot, slowly coming online again 📈

had to spend this week with the PC off bc the amount of sunlight i was getting caused the interior to spike to 85F indoors.
got some nice curtains, back down to 72F already hmmNod

Hopefully that keeps those PC temps down!

#

during ravager window with merciless bonegrinder talent, do we ever add in cleave in ST rotation?

regal citrus
#

for pve, where do you ideally wanna be sitting around for stats? i know crit and haste are priority

spiral coral
dreamy wasp
#

is there any chance they shift our damage around so we're not absolutely ruined if execute stacks fall off for any reason?

glacial rapids
#

So. Do fury players have to wait two more weeks for another spark to craft thier off hand? Excuse my ignorance.

nova marsh
#

I love it

shy dagger
#

Im loving the slayer m+ build

strange perch
#

With the changes to slayer is it the better build now? For both fury and arms?

shy dagger
#

Not sure about pure numbers, but im doing better than colossus, damage on bosses is pretty big and overall im beating most of the specs

#

And feels better to play

strange perch
#

Woot I’m so happy to hear that. slayer was always my preferred hero spec but I just did more on colossus. Now I can’t wait to log in and try it on both fury and arms.

....2h frost is a thing?

#

I think?

dreamy wasp
#

i haven't really played retail in a long time, is frost still a lottery spec?

#

i haven't played frost since cata was new sorry lol

nova marsh
#

Tbh it's more of a piano spec like arms as far as I know

#

And it dosen't have jugg

dreamy wasp
#

feels like a lot of specs are kinda piano specs now

#

haste reducing cd's/gcd's is kinda nuts

I've used a lot of mmo-mice

#

the closest you'll get to it is a corsair scimitar

arctic breach
#

Hey gang, new(er) arms raider here. How much Haste is enough? % for a Raid and M+ build? Or is there no such thing as TOO MUCH Haste.

wooden lava
#

the one big issue is that the third click doesn't exist on any other mice

wooden lava
#

the only issue is that it's Razer

#

meaning it's likely going to have an issue within 1-2 years

outer forge
#

had one of those, it lasted like a year

wooden lava
#

most likely scroll wheel

#

yeah

#

the shape, clicks, etc.

#

are all great

#

QA is nonexistent because Razer is full of pdfs

So close guys!!!!

#

4%

#

Sadly wrong content

#

4% for slarms🥲

harsh heron
#

are we still the better AoE spec? i sim at nearly 19mill while fury only at 17

slow saddle
#

"Only"

#

I mean u prob still are

#

But id take fury any day of the week

#

Consistent high aoe, but also with amazing boss dmg ( prio tsrget dmg)

bright whale
#

Considering leveling/playing arms as main for endgame contents worth it or play dh or fdk ?

subtle vessel
#

Is there like a single target raid build that people use for progging myth bosses where you don't get into execute range yet?

slow saddle
#

Fury or fdk or dh atm

#

Or prot

#

U got 2 very strong warrior setups and then arms

bright whale
#

Cant play high apm though

slow saddle
#

Fdk is intense but slower

#

More punishin

hasty pumice
#

Nooo

#

No fury / arms changes?

#

It's so doomed

slow saddle
#

But id say fdk

#

Yes

#

Arms 4%

hasty pumice
#

For PvP

slow saddle
#

In pvp🥲

hasty pumice
#

Bro this is dogshit

slow saddle
#

Arms is just mid

#

3% st wouldda been nice

hasty pumice
#

No reason to play anything other than slayer fury

#

Yippie

slow saddle
#

Just above fury

#

Thane claps

#

Rly well

hasty pumice
#

With the changes to the slayer set there's no reason to play it

slow saddle
#

I mean bettrr burst

#

If u lucky

#

😅

bright whale
#

Idm but why google ai recommending me arm warrior with obr is better

hasty pumice
#

I'm tilted

slow saddle
#

Arms is bad atm

#

Both playstyle and dmg

hasty pumice
#

Welp time to suck it up and get good at slayer for big pulls

bright whale

Went right back to colossus after
Whats the point of playing arms if you dont do big demolish

#

Behind in one area, ahead in another

#

Averages all work out in the end

lofty pulsar
#

20% behind in one area, 3% ahead in another. Math ain’t math in

smoky kayak
#

3% multiplied across 10x as much combat time

lofty pulsar
#

I’m not in high enough keys where it matters but this stuff does

earnest imp
#

If you want to stick to one spec forever, you are just asking to be sadge

smoky kayak
#

Anyway, you can go look at the stats but I ain’t doin your homework for you; it really ain’t as stark as you think

lofty pulsar
halcyon valve
#

200k isnt much in a time where we do 5m

smoky kayak
#

more like 8m

#

coincidentally 8->8.2 is just under 3%

rapid magnet
#

since its extremely unlikely during actual raid fights and the hunters and boomies actually get buffs when they fking cringe the sims

thick kelp
#

sims dont have jugg at max stacks the whole sim

rapid magnet
#

this doesnt look like it dropping does it

thick kelp
#

u are lookin at

#

average uptime

rapid magnet
#

this is stack count no?

thick kelp
#

if u send variations you can find it dropping it at 9-14

#

stakcs

smoky kayak
thick kelp
#

Most recently saw my quick sim dropping it at 13 stacks

smoky kayak
#

its showing you an average across all iterations

rapid magnet
#

it shows 50% uptime at 15 stacks

thick kelp
#

yeah across all the iterations

#

which is

#

5000

rapid magnet
#

ok consider me educated

smoky kayak
#

go into the sample sequence table and you'll see where its falling off (in that specific example sequence)

thick kelp
#

The bigger problem is that the sim is glued to the target

#

and doesnt take in account losing uptime

#

and losing uptime = losing SD procs

rapid magnet
#

dropping juggernaut when ur on fractillus is the real cringe shit

#

no lost uptime just lost sanity

smoky kayak
#

just juggernaut things

slow saddle
#

Only 15 stacks to rebuild😅

quick badge
#

Good thing you can wipe the raid easily on fractillus if that happens 😈

slow saddle
#

Yup

weak rain
#

I feel like arms should be like 3% ahead of fury on pure st, not the other way around. Cuz fury has insane cleave ability without needing to drop st(looking at you reap the storm)

slow saddle
#

Facts

#

But also 2 target arms reap be real😆

slow saddle
#

Not as good at cleave

weak rain
#

at this point I don't really care about jugg, because surely, surely warrior trees are getting rework in midnight(RIGHT?). I just want arms to be good and playable. I am progging salhadar and there is literally 0 argument to bring in arms. My guild is pretty open minded and they let me decide which spec is better(I played colo on soul hunters for example), but yea, even thinking about arms for salhadaar/dimensius is trolling imo

slow saddle
#

And it should be an arms fight no?

#

Like if juggernaut wssnt a thing

#

😅

weak rain
#

It would be ok, if arms was better at pure st

slow saddle
#

Imagine 5 stack jugger

#

Would make surr arms was better st spec🤣

weak rain
#

cuz fury does better at st, tankier and does infinitely better at intermission

#

so...

#

yea

slow saddle
#

Yeye if u die to dmg as fury

#

U have useless healers

#

And u are useless

#

🤣

weak rain
#

nah at salhadaar its impossible to die as fury, you can reflect claws and even tank frontal, also last tick of big dot

slow saddle
#

So banish?

weak rain
#

yep

slow saddle
#

And u reflect when u get claw?

#

Im in a super duper low tier guild

#

We just started mythic

#

We have ppl in 701 gear

weak rain
#

yes, claw, big dot last tick(banish) and tank frontal(cone one) are all deflectable

slow saddle
#

Sagde

#

Give us reflect

#

🥰

#

But ye thats giga

#

So u sr 2 seconds into banish?

#

Or how long does it last

weak rain
#

i just sr at 4.9s left of banish

slow saddle
#

Oki cant member how ling it is

weak rain
#

if he casts banish on you - you don't get the claw

#

so its free

slow saddle
#

Ahh

#

Again low tier guild hc as fury nothin hurts

#

🤣

#

But sweet. Anything that can make me improve

weak rain
#

Hopefully we will see insane surge of fury slayers so blizz notices how shitty arms is compared to this

weak wave
weak rain

mastery is good, you just have low mastery/versa thats it

Alright, thanks

all stats are good stats

void bay
# weak wave Alright, thanks

as you got more of one stat, the others go up in value...sometimes you need to reach a certain break point first, but thankfully that is very very rare in retail compared with classic

slow saddle
#

Breakpoints arent real in retail

#

Robot is

#

Robot decides when u need more of 1 stat

thick hamlet
#

genuinely surprised there were no buffs for arms, but even more so for frost mage

#

i suppose it's because arms players can go fury while frost mage can play another spec

#

while boomkin has no other ranged spec

candid pecan

Halls +19 ratge(pre tuning)

very nice tuning

sharp wyvern

its almost like thats meant to be a ST buff

weak rain
#

just give us 10% ms, 10% execute, 20% troar, is it much to ask for?

sharp wyvern

soubinder pad inflates arms dmg so we wont get buffs

No good mage plays frost

It’s not like that. I typically only run with friends so it’s the same people every time, not trying to impress or anything. Just noticing the higher keys we do with higher ilvls the bigger their overalls jump compared to me. It’s not a huge difference, but the relative difference.

I’d rather never play fury tbh, but I did season 1 because the damage contribution from me for the group was much better than when I was arms that season. So i was just wondering if it was becoming like that again.

slow saddle
#

Overall u can hold ya own as col arms 100€

mild dagger
#

Cool cool cool. I wasn’t worried about it until i saw someone suggest fury got buffed. Happy stick with where im at

minor gust
#

Col aoe still cranks

mild dagger
#

For clarity, my overall keep doing up, just relative to some of classes I don’t feel I’m scaling as much. Not saying I’m unhappy with where I’m at

thick kelp
minor gust
#

If one of your friends could go more ST/prio focus since arms is lacking there

#

That would help balance thins out

slow saddle

But meta is meta m8

#

Little to do with arms

mild dagger
minor gust
#

A good ret is hard to beat that's normal

#

They are strong right now

mild dagger
#

Ya, he’s the one that is scaling higher than me too. As we go up in ilvl it feels like every 1 dps increase I do he does 1.5 to 2.

#

But I’m also super rusty this season not playing as much so a lot of that is on me.

slow saddle

Ret fucks y

Almost lost 2 one as slayer fury🤣

Slayer fury just feels like arms of old kinda

hey i have question is arms realy that bad that you cant play him on m+? is that true ?

#

i saw that hes not s tier ofc, but is that true hes unplayable on mythic?

slow saddle

Arms is fine

nova marsh
slow saddle
#

Arms is actually decently strong

#

But fury is plain better

nova marsh
#

yeah exactly

#

Thus doom harder and press N

slow saddle
#

Yup

smoky kayak
#

Arms is completely fine; ain't on top of the world, but not close to the bottom either

nimble jetty

thanks for answers

Arms feels great in bigger pulls than fury with those big numbers in more dense dungeons imo

has anybody tried colossus in the ST fights?

Why would you

but slayer fury is very good at it

Rebuff 4p

lean wraith
#

@minor gust @smoky kayak I just like colossus a lot more

#

was hoping i could do it

#

my dps as st slayer isnt amazing, but the aoe damage as colossus is great i was just wondering if there was a viable st build

#

🙁

slow saddle
#

There is

#

Its just a lot worse than slayer

rough grotto
#

arms feels fine on packs but once i hit a boss im doing tank damage sadga

If you like col more than slayer full send col in raid who cares.

slow saddle
#

But like most fights has some adds u can leech

#

But playing col on frac might be takin it a bit far

i will apply to your guilds and replace you if you play col on frac

Tbh, I've felt like trying Colossus out on the side gle target fights just for the fun of it. But I'm in a casual guild of friends and we only push AotC. I mean, an arms warrior is currently always in top 3 on our meters, so we arent full of the most skilled people lol

#

Gunna do me a Fract colossus next week just cuz

play what you enjoy

unkempt wren
#

I wanna be optimal in how I chose to set up. Or rather, do well even when suboptimal

rough grotto
#

So if arms is so down bad in keys why don’t we play slayer to try and shore up our bad ST

outer forge
#

Arms does good aoe

#

It’s just mid/bad in ST

latent moss
#

slarms isnt as bad as people make it out to be

rough grotto
#

Right but doesn’t slayer not do as bad on ST for some aoe loss

latent moss
#

no

#

st is a lot better

#

but aoe is worse yes

#

its basically a lot worse slayer fury

rough grotto
#

For more buttons

#

Oof

#

Like the class fantasy is dope, the buttons feel good to press. Just the damage ain’t there

latent moss
#

i disagree on everything

lofty pulsar
latent moss
#

fantasy is shit

#

aint nothing tactical about arms

lofty pulsar
#

me hit enemy with big weapon

#

thats the fantasy

rough grotto
#

Idgaf about tactics. Swinging big sword

lofty pulsar
#

exactly

latent moss
#

then go fury it swings 2 big swords fast and it does damage

rough grotto
#

Fury makes my hands hurt

latent moss
#

slayer arms isnt much slower

#

u can also just drop some haste as fury and take vers/mastery

#

and be fine

rough grotto
#

Cries in having 28k haste from gear

latent moss
#

ye i mean slayer arms wants haste the most as well

rough grotto
#

I still hav 675 boots after 3 weeks

#

Cause never boots drops

latent moss
#

and when u wb a target below 35 u get 20% haste and basically match fury haste

#

even with 10% iftk slayer arms is fast

rough grotto
#

Might have to go back to Evoker

#

For 30 apm

latent moss

i mean no warrior spec is low apm

colo arms isnt slow either

I been testing out critcakes build which uses bleed in colossus tree instead of cleave buff, and i been doing pretty good on both aoe and st

weak rain
#

I don't think colo in m+ ever worth it with current slayer fury

#

In raid only 5th is better for arms imo

minor gust
#

I mean is fury gonna be way better especially if going for title yeah but colossus can still do dmg it's not unplayable it's just not better than fury which isn't a big deal considering how good fury is right now

green geode
#

anyone got some nice builds for colossus in raid

rapid bronze
#

Like for the MT bosses or single target bosses?

green geode

ST and Cleave

weak rain

colo st is nonexistent

#

go slayer for st

green geode
#

it's a shame tbh

#

I like hitting big numbers on colossus

weak rain
#

I envy frost dk tbh, both deathbringer(big numba) and rider are good and competitive for both solo target and aoe

#

why can't we have that

short oasis
#

i evvy fury atm

#

why can they have fun with reap the storm but we dont

gusty nymph

There are 2 variants, one with strenght of arms, and one with Skull splitter

I shouldn't be too focused on maxing overpowers on MS/Cleave, instead just using 1 for resets yeah?
i.e.
(on pull) MS/Cleave -> OP -> MS/Cleave if available, if not OP again

So why doesnt bliz let arms do more damage like frost dk?

wind lotus
#

It sucks to play correctly and still do bad damage

shrewd fox
# untold pewter Correct

Awesome, thanks. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong in raid but I seem to do decent in m+

untold pewter
#

If you do care about other classes and balance, might as well just meta slave

shrewd fox
#

Does OP's effect apply to all MS during bladestorm or nah?

untold pewter
#

Cuz sometimes arms owns, sometimes arms is just alright

Right now we're just alright, and that's still perfectly fine for all content minus the endless scaling hamster wheel that is pushing the highest m+ (and arguably still fine there too)

I don't think Arms has been strong since I started playing again back in DF

#

Before that, I quit after SL S1 because I couldnt get invited to anything

I've played Arms every season since and never ever felt like I was inting my groups

I do not run on that hamster wheel though, only mythic CE raid and 3k score for the rewards cuz I despise m+

Getting invited is mostly on player perception and the player base has ant brains

You either meta slave or make your group/get recognized for your skills/add people to play again etc etc

does fury offer the experience of losing 15 stacks?

fury only gets to lose 5

Cast it when mobs are gathered so it hits as many as possible for bigger crit buff

Then pop CDs and go ham

# vestal spade So not after I cast Avatar?

I have it macro'd to Avatar. So on boss fights I hit it as I charge in then do the opener and hit the same button again for avatar. For m+ just send it when groups are gathered.

Why would you not pair it in M+ as well

am i going crazy, last night i could swear i was getting about 8-10 seconds of no cd cleave every burst window

ah nice thanks! just trying to see if wrist + weapon or wrist + belt is better for me before crafting

spiral coral
#

Weapon 99% of the time

dim basalt

Will likely be weapon

spiral coral

1% is if you have mythic already

dim basalt
#

Weapon dps just adds a ton of damage

devout pewter
#

hm, interesting then.. got a hero weapon from vault last week just cause I thought wrist belt was better

dim basalt

In that case a weapon will 100% be better

devout pewter

it's like 1% but whatever, I'm not seeing myself getting much mythic gear anyways

Well maw doesnt really do anything special

I haven’t used its ability

Hi, I have a question regarding Cursed Stone Idol. When should I use it in raid if it doesnt line up with Colossus Smash? Should I use it on CD with Avatar or hold it for next CS? thanks a lot

latent moss
#

avatar

spiral coral
#

Shouldn’t worry about it lining up with cs cause it should be lined up with av and cs should be lined up with av hmmNod

sacred hatch
#

"should" but what if CS isnt lined up with av? should I just hold CS and pop it when av is on CD? or should it Just pop cs on CD and hold av for next cs?

spiral coral
#

So you’re going to have cs by itself at one point because it’s a 45 sec cd

#

Should be used immediately, and then it will be aligned with av. But, if you are out of sorts and it isn’t lined up best thing to do is just send it unless it’s like 8 secs or something

sacred hatch
#

im asking because Im using anger management so cs doesnt line up very often with av

spiral coral
#

Should never be holding really but yeah max to hold anything is like 8 secs max

Is simming for gems even good in Raidbots? It's just recommending the exact same gems for every slot in all variants.
Or should I just equip one gem, then sim again etc?

Do any of you realistically track marked for execution on ST bosses, or is it basically keep up juggernaut stacks and ignore MFE since you're not swapping targets anyway?

People aren't paid to look over that stuff anyway. I want to do the work and figure it out, I just don't know specifically how to check my stuff. Analyzer is giving me diametrically opposed ideas

let's take a look quick

#

also dont worry too much about ilvl parsing imho

#

i'll leave some notes in your review thread 👍

#

you mostly have it figured out from what I can tell in your own notes, just tidy up the opener and keep your Roar/Avatar synced together. Other than that, don't prioritize Exhilirating Blow resets during execute unless you have 2x EP stacks 🎉

arms has a slight edge in aoe for M+, so it's possible

yeah really big pull dungos especially that makes sense

if u have 3 specs that blast aoe and have bad st (arms)

ur overall will be low

u overkill giga hard on aoe and lack st so bosses take ages

the fury cleave and single target is closer to the same than it is for arms. People might just be lazy. Since arms is different stats. Might explain why most raiders are fury.

#

rotation is more similar mostly

#

Arms cleave if your playing colossus is harder to setup. Where as fury cleave is pretty much on demand.

i can play both and see no reason to play arms

in terms of how effective it is, say, versus fdk or fury
if you enjoyed both specs equally to arms and were equally as good you'd do slightly better (fury) and much better as fdk but

ultimately I don't like fury so I do worse on it and I haven't played fdk in forever so tbats out of the picture

Greeting fellow Arms warriors! I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in looking at some suggestions I've put together to send to blizzard for Arms warrior changes. It is a working progress and is a bit big so I wont send it on this channel. If people are interested I can send it to them directly.
My hope is to come with some good and easy points to blizzard about what makes Arms warrior troublesome and how it could be fixed and pray that they will listen.

#

And of course if anyone has some more suggestions let me know

halcyon valve
#

Are you cooking or are you coping

winter robin
#

Been thinking about this for a while and I assume there are more people that have some similar opinions

spiral coral
#

probably something that hasn’t already been posted on forums and shared here but send it

forest perch
#

Without needing to shut down the discord, how often to blizzard implement arms warrior changes based on feedback?

spiral coral
#

kill juggernaut, fix some nodes and yeah idk. I really enjoy arms and I dunno what much to do to it other than a few tweaks without making it feel foreign. Even folding sks into the rotation or anything played with on arms can make it feel very clunky very fast. But you streamline it too much and it just becomes… fury

#

So is it a tuning thing? Or a design thing?

spiral coral
#

and (imo) that’s a good thing

winter robin
#

Like I said, the plan is to hope and prey, but I really do think that the people who often times have the best insight of what is needed and not needed is the people playing the class for idk how many hours you have played on your warriors but I assume a lot ^^

halcyon valve
#

Theres nobody at blizzard working on warriors
At least it feels like thats the case

#

Fewest changes across the entire expansion

forest perch
#

And the tier bonus designer really loves overpower

#

Dragon flight tier set for arms was pretty decent

fresh spire
#

They spin the big wheel with all the classes on it and buff which ever it hits

#

(arms and fury have like 1% total value of the whole wheel surface area)

halcyon valve
#

But 30% of the nerf wheel

daring heron
#

but we've seen that wheel

#

i dont like the contents of it

fresh spire
#

all hit nerfs

nova marsh
#

Archis article made me smile lol

spark epoch
#

does overpower also work like fury with the tier set if i got dreadnaught

#

surely it works similarly

smoky kayak
#

it only triggers off of Overpower, not Dreadnaught

spark epoch
#

?

smoky kayak
#

so yes, it works the same way in the sense that it has two chances to proc during Sweep, rather than one

#

but it does not get a separate chance to proc per target hit (Cleave already does that)

spark epoch
#

hmm

#

would be cool if dreadnaught sorta worked similarly

#

but i understand

halcyon valve
#

Nah

spark epoch
#

ok

smoky kayak
spark epoch
#

Yeah true didn’t think of cleave

#

But the cleave ones aren’t empowered by tier set right

#

I guess the sweeping strike overpower ones are tho ok. Didn’t mean to make a whole thing was actually just curious if deadnaught procced. Thanks

smoky kayak
#

They're not, but Arms was already beating Fury in multitarget damage too lol

fresh spire
#

for most part on big pulls cleave almost always reaps

spark epoch
#

Fair enough ya

fresh spire
#

it does equal out

smoky kayak
#

I'm not saying the mechanics are completely fair, just that they (were) achieving balance in a different way

spark epoch
#

Ya cleave being uncapped thing is very nice I don’t take that for granted

fresh spire
#

in comparison before fury used to do so much less reap damage even on st

spark epoch
#

Ya dang I can see that cuz it was just like literally a 20% chance from a single ability right

fresh spire
#

pretty sure like late beta testing fury barely did more than 2% with reap where arms was like 3x that

spark epoch
#

Ya dang

fresh spire
#

just need reap to interact with SD and MS and fury gets RB and SD

#

and life good

spark epoch
#

Haha

#

sorry, best I can do is Slam

Bring back colossal might stacks from execute

Is there an addon which will show me how many targets have rend on them?

very easy to make a weakaura for that yourself
