Warrs eat up a lot of interrupts as they should, everyone else helped out accordingly it looks like

Pally should’ve had more but it looks like y’all were fighting over them which is a great thing

dont all melee have the same interrupts? a st kick, some sort of aoe stun/knock, and then idk? does war have more?

i just asked cos you didnt mention the DH at all, and I remembered when I was tanking on mine I had so many control tools it was silly

Arm's biggest issue right now is a lack of arms. GIVE ME BACK MY EXTRA RANGE OR RIOT

weak rain
#

arms biggest issue right now that it's bad

untold pewter

#

so with demolish cd being a bit random, how long is it ok to wait for either demolish or warbreaker?

Usually for me warbreaker comes off cooldown when demolish still has like 20+s left, even with keeping MS on cooldown constantly. It's not often but often enough to ask 😄

kind shoal
#

Then your biggest priority now is regain the Demolish stacks. You do this by hitting 4 enemies or more with Cleave, or by hitting enemies with Mortal strikes. If you get to 10 stacks of Demolish, each Cleave that hits 4 or more enemies and each Mortal Strike will reduce the cooldown of Demolish. This way your cooldowns will sync and you can use Warbreaker and Demolish again.

kind shoal
devout pewter
# kind shoal It means you are using your rotation wrong. You only use Demolish when you have ...

Simply said: I'm not doing anything wrong in my rotation, 100% sure of it. Doing exactly as you said.

It is random in a sense that you cannot control how many MS procs you get so the time it takes to get to 10 stacks to get the cd reduction varies. And obviously with bad luck this variation can be quite bad.

So my question is, if that happens, how about how long can one wait until holding Warbreaker is too much of a DPS loss against just throwing it in unsynced to Demolish.

devout pewter
#

No?

kind shoal
#

Arms warrior is a lot about intuition.

#

You dont use Warbreaker and demolish when you see the adds at 30% and you got the cooldown back

#

You need to use it big on pulls. If you get off sync its gonna be tough, and thats easy to happen, specially on boss fights.

devout pewter
#

That is completely irrelevant to my question, as it applies to any mob group or boss.

#

And pack life etc. is also completely irrelevant to the question itself

kind shoal
#

I can't give you a straight answer. how much you hold warbreak depends on how useful it is to use it in the current pull. If you use it and the adds die in the next 5 seconds that will continue the desync of Warbreaker/demolish.

#

So it will all depend on the pull or in the subsequent pull. Its something you have to figure out on the go.

devout pewter
#

Again, packsize and life etc. is not relevant to the question....

kind shoal
#

Oh buddy, I cant help you then. You dont seem to grasp the concept of what Im saying.

devout pewter
#

ok bro

#

You're trying to answer the question with very basic rotational answers, which aren't helpful as they're not relevant to the question. I know I'm not supposed to use Warbreaker+Demolish when the pack is about to die etc.
Respect for trying to help but please understand that, again, these things are not relevant to what I'm asking.

kind shoal
#

Buddy, again. The use of warbreak while Demolish is off cd its completely dependent on the pull. Pack size matters on dps meters cause the bigger the pull the bigger the damage. The health the pull has depends on dps meters cause the less health they have the least incentive it is to use cooldowns on it, since they will die fast and you will move on to the next pull or boss off CD.

#

its not that hard of a concept. So I cant telly you oh do it anyway, or use it everytime it doesnt matter. Cause it fucking does depending on what your attacking.

#

you're

devout pewter
#

Again: None of that is relevant..

#

I give up

#

I'll ask again later..

kind shoal
#

Yeah bro use your cd on enemies with 10% health left, see how much damage you do on the next pull 😉

devout pewter
#

No one said anyone is doing that, but you, but ok..

Feels weird to have a tier set that synergizes with bleeds, and have roar with extra bleed damage, and then not have rend

#

Also the talent for extended bleeds and ms applying rend under 35% but again, no rend

I mean we are dodo but at the same time this graph is also because A lot of people switched to fury and the spec is underplayed atm

I don’t think the difference is that high

I mean not using bleeds when tier needs bleeds. Is trollin

#

It takes a special kind of stubbornness to not use rend when there are multiple incentives built into your spec that push you to use rend

Just play slayer if you want to skip rend

hi arms warriors ^^
i was cooking a spiteful serenity arms build, and i would like to know if anyone has any resource on that?

outer forge
#

lol

fresh spire
#

Spite full is bad as Cs as so much less actual uptime and flexibility while also reducing the cooldown of bladestorm/ravager (which is big for both hero trees)

#

Unless spiteful has the 40% value reduction fully removed it will always be dogshit

#

They need to reverse it to make cds shorter and more burstier than longer and even weaker

quiet finch
#

Respectfully, youre opinion is not a credible resource for me.
and what you just wrote wasnt helpful.

#

oh, and ravager/bladestorm uptime isnt very important for collosus. with the current balancing it makes it meta, but it is not especially compatible

fresh spire
#

Uh so you are completely ignoring the fact that ravager gives heavy cm stacks for faster ramps for demolish especially on aoe.

#

If you think you have something to cook by all means grab the apl and try stuff out. But coming from the person who wastes tons of time at the start of the season making that apl Spiteful is dogshit

quiet finch
quiet finch
#

is it "dogshit" because the damage numbers are lower? or is it dogshit, because it is a bad talent?
because my original question was for resources on spiteful serenity in a arms warrior talent tree, and what you have been communicating is just that "stuff that has lower numbers, is dogshit".
and thats not helping me much, its just not productive

#

@untold pewter do you have any resource on a arms build that uses spiteful serenity?

untold pewter
#

Fuck no what I was saying is that Krisp's time on the APL isn't wasted

#

You can literally just sim shit

#

Idk what resource you want

#

Sim it and prove your point

slow saddle
#

Also imagine having big burst buttob

#

But the multipliers are halfed

#

Wtf is the point then

quiet finch
#

im not looking for "higher numbers" talents.

untold pewter
#

If you don't care about numbers then just literally select the talent and go play with it

#

What's even the point?

slow saddle
#

Flatter dmg profile?

fresh spire
#

It's use case legitimately doesn't exist. There is mo world where longer weaker cds vs shorter higher uptime stronger cds win. There is way to much synergy in arms around anger management

slow saddle
#

Id take 40% avatar lasting 10 sec!!

fresh spire
#

If you killed AM there is a chance it could become good. But anger management in every situation is way too powerful

slow saddle
#

Opposite stronger cds shorter duration

latent moss
#

there could be a world where conveniently boss spawns adds like 30s into the fight and u get to stack a 9 million % test of might

latent moss
#

other than that its just bad

slow saddle
#

Tom = dead

#

Delete am

quiet finch
#

Avatar lasting 20 sec and reducing cleave cd
warbreaker lasting 20 sec
colatteral lasting 15 sec + 30

only thing that doesnt fit that great there, is ravager

fresh spire
#

Am needs to die

olive nest
#

I don’t want ToM to return myself, but it was a decent dopamine spike to see 16k str in s1 DF and crank big MS Crits

slow saddle
#

Am i love it

#

But it needs to die

fresh spire
#

Ravager gives you your cm stacks fast enough that you can demolish and get the 4p rolling ontop of your other cds

#

Am lowers the cds of ravager/Cs around 50% in average.

#

Just having the shorter cooldowns means your entering packs with warbreaker/demolish way cleaner

slow saddle
#

Am was fine, but now we got to many layers of cds

#

Icecap was removed from.frost

#

Made spec better

quiet finch
#

then @fresh spire since you said "its use case legitimatly doesnt exist".
what if colatteral was changed to instead ramp cleave damage?

untold pewter
#

Huh

#

How's hypothetical stuff going to change the fact that there's no legitimate use case?

latent moss
#

i mean

quiet finch
#

well, im theorycrafting.... and the only thing i have learned is that season 1 DF had stacking str

untold pewter
#

We can "what if" 500 different solutions for Arms but that wasn't the question

do u really want 40s avatar

gray herald
#

no

latent moss

even if hypothetically they removed the damage penalty

Change my mind

avatar is dogshit

its a tank cd

I don't mind avatar at all tbh

it bloats fury and weakens reck

fresh spire
#

Roar needs to be mega buffed for colossus and 3 target condemn needs to return for slayer

#

roar could be more utilized as a "damage dealer"

latent moss
#

increase the amp reduce the duration for arms

fresh spire
#

It used to do damage. Its just not had buffs this entire expansion

latent moss
#

remove it for fury

slow saddle
fresh spire

While every other ability had 90%+ buffs

I say bake Thunderous Roar into Avatar so you avatar and roar at the same time making Avatar a slightly better CD, remove spear and give us some fucking good option

I forget what was Dragon Roar again? It had auto crit right?

Spear as utility

untold pewter

don't lean so hard into bleeds that we lose our chunky crits tho. that'd make me sad

slow saddle
fresh spire

Maybe have SD added to reap+ having bt removed from reap in place for raging blow

#

Op removed for sd

slow saddle
#

What if

#

Sd proc = 3 target exe

With sweep 6

And no juggernaut so baseline exe = strong

what if we just run it back with the same exact spec in 12.0

# slow saddle What if

Tbh I think it wpuld be unironically balanced if we got 3x execute like prot and the hits also sweep. Since 2 targets are hit for 65% then further reduced.

i'll be honest, if they don't make some big changes i'm probably just gonna play ret blizard

Or make jug only work sub 35

#

Id still hate it

#

But better than now

fresh spire
#

Thinky the whole world would rather jug bigger and badder. Archis suggested idea for s3 works well

slow saddle
#

Now u have hope until rngsus takes itnaway

fresh spire
#

But with the tier you could ramp it even at 5 seconds

slow saddle
#

Makin itn 5 stacks would help

#

From a feel bad ezp

fresh spire
#

Was 5 stacks. 6 seconds duration, 8% a stack

#

Was same dps as old jug without jug gaming before tier

#

But moment new tier came you could actually stack it to 5. You would send sd on cd the moment you pressed an sd. Basically held then power sent

#

Playstyle was kinda weird

slow saddle
#

Just delete juggernaut

untold pewter
#

JUst delete that

#

Yeah

#

Make Execute strong always

slow saddle
#

Its a good talent in theory

Can't wait to play same exact talents for like 3 years

Sometimes I'm at 15 stacks 2sec duration and I legit just sit there eye twitching smashing the execute key in hopes that I'll get a proc — losing GCDs in fear of missing that execute AND then you don't get a proc and just fucking die inside

Yup

untold pewter

Facts

weak rain
#

they need to bake rend and dw into 1 bleed source(dw) and make it strong, like combined bleeds of current colossus strong. Avatar should be gone, only prot "burst" button(or thane for fury). Spear should be gone too. Roar gone or reworked into something like pandaria bloodbath

#

they could make arms 2mins cd class for example by adding some kind of banner(but only for yourself) ability into arms tree.

#

Fury should be based on reck, Prot on on avatar, Arms should have it's own burst cooldown

untold pewter
#

Can we just delete reck

#

And bring back

#

#

Nah

untold pewter

With the 100% crit chance and all

might be controversial, but arms should be more methodical, more flat dmg profile. Fury should be bursty af instead, like flash of anger

if you have a sacbrood already you can just always hang onto it and sim it again later with different gear

pretty much so fsat we never see a blade dance as melee

the boss is moving while blade dance is happening behind us

only like a handful thru the whole fight we actually have one us cuz otherwise they line up with the shadowstep

and then even those they were doin clutch shit by baiting it toward the outside edge so a lot of the dance was off outta melee bedge

Just wanting to make sure when simming for AOE on arms, do we use the dungeon slice fight style? I know in the past I was told no that it is not the best way for arms, but I know things can change so wanted to make sure.

# tribal sedge Just wanting to make sure when simming for AOE on arms, do we use the dungeon sl...

AOE Sims aren't always the most accurate thing that's why it's not a big deal. At the end of the day 3 lines of thought all equally work. Just sim ST and call it a day what's generally an increase to your ST will increase your AOE (assuming we're only talking about gear Sims). You can also just use dungeon slice it's fine and more commonly you can just 5T-10T set the time to your avg M+ pull time and call it a day

In case you get some add spawns here and there mid fight

scarlet atlas
#

i think my stats are the issue, i have 20%crit 25% haste and 40%mastery

dim basalt
#

Nah

glacial rapids
#

That could be for any number of reasons. How many times did you die? Was the tank chain pulling? Were you using cooldowns willy nilly? Was warbreaker and demolish not alligned? Were the pulls poorly grouped?

dim basalt
#

Stats are more optimization than anything

#

Youre not gonna do a few million less dps just because of stats

#

More often than not the issue is ABC

#

What were the critcake talents? I’ve seen a build without merciless bonegrinder and two points in bloodborne? Not saying it’s the issue just curious

Pretty sure it was the standard m+ build but dropped SKS for an extra point into bloodborne and thats it.

If you have hero trinket yea, it’s probably an upgrade but to what extent 🤷‍♂️
Weapon is all content upgrade and the stats are nice

Assuming toll has 710 idol already and a 710 weapon already

fossil thistle

Yea around 3.5-4.5m is pretty consistent

lean wraith
#

okidoke thankyou, theres def something im doing wrong then

fossil thistle
#

It’s kinda luck dependant I guess. If you go in without CDs or demolish you’re likely to be closer to 3m mark

But I’ve pulled bosses with full CDs pot and demolish and ended at 4.6-5m a time or two

lean wraith
#

Yeah, unfortunately not, i'm a long time player but i've always been pretty casual till season 2 tww, so i started simming only last season. I'm reluctant to start logging cause i play a lot of chars as alts etc, and bad performances may screw me if people are searching for raids.

if its possible to only log one or two chars i wouldnt mind doing my hunter and warrior

#

and yeah im normally around 3m, but sometimes as bad as 2.5 if theres a lot of movement etc. I've got this curse, i'm a tank main really, switching to arms, and the aoe shit i can absolutely pump. But ST slayer in raid? or st colossus in boss fights in m+? i just cant seem to do it

#

@fossil thistle

devout pewter
#

I'd argue no logs are worse than bad logs for searching groups.

And if you're running a raid and just one person is logging, you're in it too and it gets tacked onto that character

If you hold demolish for a couple seconds that’s fine, but I wouldn’t wait 15s for warbreaker to come off CD.
You’ll likely press enough MS and Cleaves over those 15s to have 10 stacks again and start getting the CDR

#

Would hold CDs if you’re over killing though, or for a little bit if you know you’re getting a nice 4/5 pack pull

Hey fellow arms, what is the opinion this season of crafted 2 hander vs the mythic+ one?

#

or raid weapon too obvs

#

I see some high rank arms crafting the weapon

#

But perhaps it was in order to get it quickly in the season?

latent moss
#

well 723 and dusk/dawn is better than 720 crafted + bracer

#

fury crafts a weapon always

#

so thats prolly why

#

idk about arms ngl

Because they play both spec too?
