should i try learning arms as a new to warrior person or should i just skip to fury?

#

arms just looked like fun, more realistic

lofty pulsar
#

You press like 5 buttons tops rotationally. And that’s stretching it

#

Bro I keep stealing your builds etc. I’m interested as to why you don’t run interlopers boots

lofty pulsar
#

Feels bad

odd oasis
#

those boots and antenna would be like 5% increase

lofty pulsar
#

I’m braindead so I took myth devoted plate boots then hero interloper boots the next week lmao

odd oasis
#

ran a normal raid and 3 plate boots dropped off soul hunter, and i rolled a 95 on high 70's on other 2 and didnt win any of them

last saddle
odd oasis
#

we just got to mythic araz, so hopefully next week we on soul hunters

Guys should we get our hopes up that blizzard will give arms warrior the update it needs?

I play both arms and frost dk in m+ and the effort I have to put in vs frost is so noticeable.

I’m not saying frost needs to be more complex or nerfed but man it is so easy to gimp your damage with how you use your CDs when playing arms.

slow saddle
#

Gj man, but also shows how.bad arms is

vast surge
slow saddle
#

I still its not just numbers more fury slayer is more fun

vast surge
#

Demolish continues to still be ass to play around.

#

Hate being rooted

#

I still can’t do fury, I tried a few times this season but my hands get so tired I’m like this isn’t worth it.

slow saddle
#

Play powerfull

#

And fury isnt faster

#

Also demo is 100% not the issue

#

The least of col issues

bleak fog
#

It feels faster/more spamy for sure

slow saddle
#

Y but if u play powerfull...

#

Its not a huge difference

bleak fog
#

Well it’s just ww 1 2 3 4 rise and repeat 🙂

slow saddle
#

From a 40 y old gamer

bleak fog
#

I fell more relaxed when I play arms.

#

But dmg is bigger with fury

slow saddle
#

Not gonna disagree

bleak fog
#

But then again, I have played a lot more arms last seasons

slow saddle
#

But main issue is ppl havin poor layouts

#

If finger pain

#

Coz my hands are big and fucked in gen

vast surge
#

I’m a 40 year old gamer myself with psoriatic arthritis, fury gets a bit much for me.
Obviously demolish is a superficial issue, the root being an inconvenience more than anything.

Stuff like sweeping strikes window being longer than merciless bonegrinder so collateral damage procs outside of your amp window is butts, unless you use a cancel aura macro.

Your damage amp being tied to a debuff on targets vs increasing your strength means if you play in pugs your damage output can be gimped by inconsistent pulls.

Same with your big bleed thunderous roar. Gimped if you send it at the “wrong” time.

Having to choose between ST and AoE unlike other specs. Lack of desirable group utility.

CDR based on maximising uptime in anger management (which I don’t hate but obviously our cds always desync)

#

That’s just to name a few issues.

#

Juggernaut being cool in theory but ass in reality

#

Fatality not scaling properly

slow saddle
#

Juggernaut in raid

#

Fury gets a million procd

#

We get many

#

And m+ its the whole cdr fuckery

#

And amps outside amps

#

Never fun

vast surge
#

I wish they would just give us fury’s ashen juggernaut. I’d rather that. 5 stacks is so much easier to maintain than what we have to deal with now.

Also imo dreadnought should be baked into overpower and should be affected by modifiers that amp overpower’s damage. But that’s just wishful thinking on my part.

slow saddle
#

Nah

#

Op was to good

#

Was split for a reason

#

But y jugger 5 stacks

vast surge
#

It’s literally called overpower

slow saddle
#

If that was a thing

#

Id play arms in raid

vast surge
#

Not underpowered

slow saddle
#

It does a lot of dmg now

#

B4 it was top dmg on a "filler"

vast surge
#

I joke, I just think giving it dreadnought inherently gives them an opportunity to put something else as a choice node with strength of arms

#

As far as damage goes they can always tune the numbers, instead of some flat % of AP it’s some % of OPs damage it can be tweaked by overpower related talents

#

I remain a passionate enjoyer of arms despite it’s flaws

slow saddle
#

Im playin fury slayer

#

It just flows so much better

#

Aint even close

#

When i try arms i get depression in raid

vast surge
slow saddle
#

Fdk is arms as it should be

vast surge
#

And no I’m not FOTM reroller. I’ve actually played DK longer than warrior

slow saddle
#

I play some as well, prob.only reason i can pmay fury

#

My alt every tier is dk

#

Fdk when 2h is best if not ug

#

Uh

#

I dont play dw

vast surge
#

Can you imagine on the FDK discord one guy was like “there’s not enough friction in the spec now” the most wow brained take.

slow saddle
#

😅

#

Fdk is simple easy, but punishes if u press bad in cds

#

Breath is some intuitive 2 use

#

Esp as db

vast surge
#

Yeah, the mastery is in getting bonegrinder stacked quick and knowing when to send and when to hold.

#

Plus like ret the mastery is also using the rest of the kit like grips etc

#

Idm DW frost but 2h is king always

slow saddle
fossil root
#

In couple of years blizz will copy a feature from ESO. Skill skins in eshop.

#

Enjoy your “light-infused” bladestom.

#

Or void warbreaker.

#

But not both at the same time - because of reasons.

weak rain
#

Id buy void tints for my abilities

#

void mortal strike lets go

weak rain
slow saddle
#

Agreed

#

Magic warrior

sharp wyvern
vast surge
#

Death knight

#

Like, don’t get me wrong a void themed plate wearing behemoth sounds cool

#

But let it be its own class

slow saddle
#

No

#

Void warrior

sharp wyvern
#

hero talent void warrior

slow saddle
#

Yup

#

Delete slayer

vast surge
#

I respectfully disagree

slow saddle
#

Add void arms alone

sharp wyvern
#

it makes avatar purple and reduces your size by 5%

slow saddle
#

Slayer arms sucks

slow saddle
weak rain
#

Void elf is the best warrior race, coincidence?

vast surge
#

Avatar turns you into a faceless one?

weak rain
vast surge
#

That’s tacky

sharp wyvern
#

thats what hero talents are tho

weak rain
#

Void warrior spec replaces your colossus/warbreaker with staerbreaker ability(Literally Salhadaar ability)

vast surge
#

I suspect if anyone is getting a void themed spec it’s paladins

sharp wyvern
#

i think its demon hunters

fresh spire
#

Warrior healing spec confirmed: Demolish has been renamed to remolish

slow saddle
#

Abolish?

weak rain
#

There is void elf paladin npc in telogrus and she is also in karesh now, which is funny

slow saddle
#

We abolish dmg

weak rain
#

like how the fuck

sharp wyvern
#

same way undead can be holy priests

slow saddle
#

😅

#

Healin themselves hurt em🤣

vast surge
#

Renovate can be our HoT

#

We’re a builder/spender spec after all 😏

untold pewter
#

Yep

shadow ibex
#

Waiting on arms buffs so I can take it to the saladbar

slow saddle
#

The fight that should be arms

#

Every time

#

But spec is horrid

olive nest
#

I’m so ready to go back to my beloved arms

#

Blizzard pls

shadow ibex
#

Can't believe i played this shit before we got 8%

#

What the fuck was I thinking

wide needle
#

Arms looks way cooler tho

#

That's worth alot of DPs

shadow ibex
#

It looks cool, it does good prio damage

#

And other lies we tell ourselves

wide needle
#

I'm gearing mine up now as an alt since I've hit a bit of a wall on the mage pugging

#

Is the gap with fury rly so high

vast surge
#

The cool thing about being an arms warrior is only needing one big sword to get the job done and not over compensating by using 2 of them.

shadow ibex
#

Has no niche

slow saddle
#

Mass aoe

#

Should be just buff roar 100%

spiral coral
vocal bolt
#

why do most arms take Warlords torment (recklessness) over Blademasters Torment (SS & cleave cd)

#

in mythic plus

#

but most sims are telling me BT but i find the dmg is better with WT

#

is it cause id rather buff my cleave before i use it so theres no point in the reduced cd?

finite grotto
#

Prob cause of crit on demo

dim basalt
#

Its just preference anyway

#

Both are equally dog

vast surge
#

Since typically our aoe build already sacrifices plenty of ST

shadow ibex
#

One let's me turn my brain off even more as colossus aoe and bring cleave cooldown to the gcd

#

Therefore its best purpleface

lofty pulsar
devout pewter
#

I just want not dog shit cleave resets. Every time I get into a huge pull, pull every cooldown perfectly, i just sit there and get zero cleave resets and just spam slam because OP isn't resetting either.

Just feels ass.

#

So yeah, cleave lower cd it is 100%

lofty pulsar
#

no matter how much we invest into single target its still dogshit

#

might as well go in praying a tank pulls daddymode

vast helm
devout pewter
#

Arms is awesome, but has so many little things not quite as good as they should be that it just adds up

slow saddle
#

Its not awesome

#

It could be, but it does have huge issues

hexed saddle
#

im like pretty sure there isnt a single thing about current arms that legion or prior didnt just do better

#

definitely a low point

devout pewter
# slow saddle Its not awesome

Subjective I guess. I'm having quite a lot of fun with colossus in m+, beating many other meta classes more often than not... but in my guild groups I just get behind and crawl.

It's fine. Just needs a few many things fixed to really flow better and make good dps.

minor gust
#

Indeed its all subjective. A lot of the old heads just miss the legion version. Which I don't blame em after playing it on a private server

dim basalt
#

"few many things fixed" aka a complete rework

#

Because Arms does not go into any direction really

#

Just a jack of all trades with bad dps

minor gust
#

Bad dps is just tuning

dim basalt
#

Yeah but even if it had better numbers Arms would still be kinda meh

minor gust
#

Not disagreeing there

dim basalt
#

rng fiesta with the flattest dps profile imaginable in raid

minor gust
#

Slayer has got to be the most boring version of arms to exist

#

And it's the goto raid spec all expansion

dim basalt
#

And not bursty enough in M+

#

With average sustained damage

minor gust
#

Not bursty isn't a big deal

#

It's just the lower end dmg

#

Which is tuning

pearl wind
#

my sustain aoe is pretty thick

slow saddle
#

Kek

#

Meet any other class played well

minor gust
#

Slayer fury is 0 burst but omega high sustain which is good for high keys

dim basalt
#

Thats my point, you want either thing

minor gust
#

Arms doesn't have that same oomph in slayer cuz bad tuning

dim basalt
#

Either giga stupid burst or really good sustained damage

#

Or really good funnel

#

Funnel / prio is usually the most important part in M+ at some point

minor gust
#

It's ok 5 more days guys

dim basalt
#

copium

minor gust
#

Till we get to see if arms is fucked or not

hexed saddle
shadow ibex
#

Nah arms is kit is fucked

slow saddle
#

Col just needs a lot of st

hexed saddle
#

if arms could reliably hit 5 targets it would be as good as fury

shadow ibex
#

Even if we had good numbers it cannot do fights

#

Like even if we had a buff, saladbar still bad design

slow saddle
#

Col in raid would be great?

shadow ibex
#

Even if we had a buff, dimmy still leans fury

minor gust
slow saddle
#

If col did st of fury cleave build

#

It would be very good

shadow ibex
#

If yoh wanna be technical all arms needs is to get cleave

#

That isnt enough though

#

Vs fury needing x2 points

minor gust
#

Same with any end fight that had add portions

shadow ibex
#

That's what I mean its past numbers

minor gust
#

What is arms supposed to do

shadow ibex
#

Our kit is fundamentally flawed

minor gust
#

Yup

dim basalt
#

Arms aoe design sucks yeah

shadow ibex
#

Like holy fuck sweeping

slow saddle
#

Collosus arms rly isnt

shadow ibex
#

I got reangry at jt

slow saddle
#

Just bad numbers

hexed saddle
minor gust
#

Any fight with adds as arms your just sitting there in full ST going guys my bladestorm might do something here

shadow ibex
#

The average heroic raiding warrior probably uses sweeping how many times a tier?

dim basalt
#

But so is only having SS + cleave for aoe situations

shadow ibex
minor gust
#

Fan of longswords to save fury

hexed saddle
#

i think any spec having near zero opportunity cost for full aoe is dumb

dim basalt
#

With vanilla cleave doing bad damage

#

And having a cd

#

Under these circumstances youd expect the spec to be tuned to just fuck in ST

shadow ibex
#

Its ok to spend 20% globals on aoe for current fury imo

#

Dmg wise. Playstyle, im sick of it tbh

#

Been doing aoe this way as fury for what?

#

10 years?

#

Its been meatcleaver since like wod right

hexed saddle
#

this exact way? only since DF

#

meat cleaver has been around since mop tho

shadow ibex
#

It was 2 globalsyea

#

They didn't make 4 until SL i think?

hexed saddle
#

i think u could accumulate 4 stacks if i remember correctly

#

4 attack MC existed in bfa as a talent

#

and got used on like

shadow ibex
#

Im like 99% sure Mc before SL was your ww has a chance to enrage

hexed saddle
#

1 fight

#

the entire xpac

#

legion was 1 attack

shadow ibex
#

Bfa was 2 then

hexed saddle
#

yeah

shadow ibex
#

I remember cuz I made a post asking for meatcleaver to change to 4 attacks cuz it wss invasive on ptr

hexed saddle
#

yeah idk dps warrior just needs anything that wasnt designed in vanilla

shadow ibex
#

Can you believe we used to deal with WW every 3 globals?

hexed saddle
#

getting ridicuclous at

shadow ibex
#

Used to be WW BT RB WW BT

devout pewter
#

How long is it since arms had any meaningful change that isn't hero talents?

hexed saddle
#

same as fury

#

u can call DF talent trees significant but i dont count them really

devout pewter
#

Yeh. Was about to say I think BFA was the same as now as a base right?

shadow ibex
#

We've had the same playstyle

hexed saddle
#

cause it was just more of the same

shadow ibex
#

Since bfa

#

Op resets, deep wounds

devout pewter
#

I mean the playstyle didnt change with the talent trees so yeah, f that

shadow ibex
#

MS every 4 globals

#

Fury at least has BT going to the dumpster in prio

#

Or rising to the top

#

We just been MS on cd use OP for a decade

devout pewter
#

Lets hope for something really meaty for midnight then..

#

Yeah

#

Nothing too bad about it, just make the time between ms be a way to really beef up ms strategically and it's getting good

shadow ibex
#

I don't expect anything

#

We couldn't even get jugg addressed

devout pewter
#

Thats at least a way to not get disappointed haha

minor gust
#

That is indeed the correct call

#

Expect nothing in 5 days

#

To keep your sanity

grim flume
#

What’s happening in 5 days?

warped spade
#

Bladestorm just does zdps now for arms. Weaker than fury's shorter version. And then sweep usually meant arms was cleave king but now some classes just do more passively with 100% uptime

devout pewter
#

Its like they come up with changes for us and then go: "hey that sounds awesome for <random class>!"

shadow ibex
#

Honestly the biggest gameplay changes we get tier to tier since df launched

#

Has been do i need 4 buffs to make MS worth casting

warped spade
#

Slayer would be fine on saladbar if bladestorm could carry aoe a bit more.. problem is they seem to not like it when things are too bursty.. hence why we have to build 10 slayer stacks to do damage

shadow ibex
#

Or do I not need 4 buffs

#

Thats the biggest difference between gameplay between tiers for like 3 years?

devout pewter
#

Yeah, pretty much

#

Just a tiny bit difference between seasons from set boni

slow saddle
#

St just tuned so badly

warped spade
#

Yeh but colossus gets pretty big funnel. Idk how you buff st without making cleave op

slow saddle
#

U have demo for add packs good prio // aoe ( if numbers where good )

shadow ibex
#

Well yea if we had a spec that was literally good at everything

slow saddle
#

I mean fury?

shadow ibex
#

If wr had a spec that had great ST and great aoe we would be good yea

warped spade
slow saddle
#

So?

shadow ibex
#

Thats not gonna happen. Its more of a tuning failure

#

Thsn something to aim for

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

The fact fury is this good is a failure to tune arms as well. We should have a niche

warped spade
shadow ibex
#

You shouldn't be looking to fury as a good example. Its good at everything is a problem.

hexed saddle
slow saddle
#

Tbh u could just buff ms

shadow ibex
#

Cuz it just means any spec its shares a class with isnt played

minor gust
slow saddle
#

Only aoe it will bring is sweeps

warped spade
#

Idk who said it before but 3target execute for slarms would help

shadow ibex
#

Specs should I mean

warped spade
#

And maybe make dreadnaught work with 4p like cleave

shadow ibex
#

It would make slayer aoe better but finding aoe isnt our problem

shadow ibex
#

We need raid damage on colossus

minor gust
#

We pray for the long imgur rework in 5 days

slow saddle
#

I think so as well

minor gust
#

🙏

warped spade
slow saddle
#

They couls also buff roar 100%

#

Or delete it

shadow ibex
#

Yea maybe arms slayer would be a really good m+ spec but I think bigger fish to fry sadly

slow saddle
#

Classic mt takes 100%

shadow ibex
#

Rather delete roar

#

I dont think we need 3 90 second cooldowns in our class tree

slow saddle
#

Would make sks easiee to tune

shadow ibex
#

Move one or two to a spec

odd oasis
minor gust
#

Delete roar delete spear

shadow ibex
#

Yea im sick of both

minor gust
#

Give passive ravager

shadow ibex
#

Let spear be utility

minor gust
#

Give passive SS as a choice node option for extended SS

warped spade
#

Idk i kinda like bleeds and deeper wounds with colossus. Not so much for arms though

shadow ibex
#

Easy win. Warrior plays always complain about utility

hexed saddle
# minor gust Delete roar delete spear

i actually had the idea last night to bake spear into roar via choice node (make people pick between crit dam or bleed dam(its literally just current roar vs bote))

warped spade
#

We just dont have better st/cleave talents to spec into for slarms

minor gust
#

Can buff spear to last longer and have bigger aoe so it's good utility like vortex for druid

slow saddle
#

Avatar for prot

#

Spear // reck fury?

minor gust
slow saddle
#

Arms roar + wb resets?

minor gust
#

But I pref if they just get removed

#

We don't need all these useless cds

#

Spear can stay if it gets turned into a utility button

slow saddle
#

So i removed avatar from arms

warped spade
slow saddle
#

Y

warped spade
#

Honestly colo should just baseline increase like ava and then ava for colo increases 5%

slow saddle
#

Avatar is off gcd so tbh idc bout it

warped spade
#

Flip it so it shows what hero you play

slow saddle
#

But a capstone for cs

#

Would be fun

#

Or wb

#

Less multipliers for arms

#

Take sks, it depends on roar-dw-avatar?+ wb? Or and 4p

devout pewter
#

Capstone point for cs/wb sounds not really fun. It could still have "options" mid tree, like shockwave has.

#

Now obviously it depends on how they change the class in general.

slow saddle
#

I mean it would make wb // cs moment a burst moment

#

Which is kindda awesome

#

Mby add wb resets

#

Also deleting juggernaut as a talent would help all warrior builds

devout pewter
#

That could also happen with current cs/wb, just needs to be tuned that way.

And it would be pretty cool to have like every 30s an insane burst moment with huge MS/cleave hits..yeah

shadow ibex
#

Idc what has to go but something does

#

Avatar roar spear i cant have 3 90 second cooldowns

#

Kill 2

slow saddle
#

And tbh cba those like

astral yarrow
#

make avatar do something interesting cause it does basically nothing atm

slow saddle
#

Fdk gets breath 1.5m and 45sec pillar feels great

#

Im saying give it to prot

#

Let fury have reck

fresh spire
#

give avatar to prot

slow saddle
#

Arms can do something fucky with wb/ cs?

fresh spire
#

make CS insane with some means to changing it up, give reck to fury, each have their own insane one

slow saddle
#

Delete am from arms

fresh spire
#

Removing cdr through means of spending rage yep
Adding CDR in through pushing buttons we want to push yep

#

like slayer->mfe for bs

shadow ibex
#

They shot themselves in the foot tho

#

They tied a hero spec to avatar

#

Because brilliant people at blizzard decided to design a hero spec around an ability avaliable to the entire class

fresh spire
#

they can easily undo it

#

tie in reck over avatar for mountain thane

shadow ibex
#

They haven't got a history of walking back on their ideas with this class

slow saddle
#

True

shadow ibex
#

They have stuck to their guns on just about everything concerning it

#

From target caps to jugg

slow saddle
#

Warrior works ':: quote blizzard ::

fresh spire
#

i dont think there is many situations where previous expansions didn't do something better with arms

shadow ibex
#

don't think any have done anything good with it to begin with

#

Cept corruption

slow saddle
#

I liked sl arms

#

With faerie covenant

#

Im a minority

fresh spire
#

AA was good as it added CC that wasn't godly overbloated

slow saddle
#

Bladestorm was aoe button

#

We had good dmg, and flexible on raids

fresh spire
#

i am still hoping arms gets the speed up on bladestorm Archi has been nagging for

slow saddle
#

Jep

fresh spire
#

it either needs to do wayyyyyyy more damage or have the same fast channel

slow saddle
#

All the nags he has asked for

#

New jugger or deleted

fresh spire
#

i think we will get a new jug

#

Judging by the overall negitivity around jug and jug gaming in encounters making it less stacks, more powerful per stack and harder to maintain so that it can really only be stacked during execute windows will solve most it's issues

#

if condemn does make a return it will also be a very powerful burst mechanic for arms in lust on pulls

slow saddle
#

Yes exactly wht i want it

#

And again no spear roar give condemn

fresh spire
#

it's what was requested before we had S3 tier bonus, which -did- for the most part completely fix fury issue with execute while -lightly- bandaiding jug rn in arms (even though it still falls off you do on average ramp it much higher most times)

#

Spear needs to move up the tree with damage removed as actual CC

slow saddle
#

Yup. But imagine if execute just did great dmg

#

No hoops

#

Just dmg

fresh spire
#

won't solve its issues in keys if execute was just the main power house of arms again

#

🙏 passive 3 target sweep for ms/execute pls

slow saddle
#

Nono as is now

#

Free more dmg for collosus

fresh spire
#

give collossus even bigger resets while making sudden death a monster in slayer (through reap procing from SD)

slow saddle
#

Tbh give back demo stacks from exe

#

Ya idea better

fresh spire
#

colossus feels good not being held back by execute

slow saddle
#

What if...

fresh spire
#

it just lacks any sort of rotational shift up like opportunist brings

slow saddle
#

Demo threw down wb

fresh spire
slow saddle
#

Even if u had cs

#

Talentre

fresh spire
#

pretty sure archi mentioned it in his wowhead wishlist before S3

slow saddle
#

I mean baked into 100%

fresh spire
#

so you would just use demolish on cd regardless of CS

slow saddle
#

Y

#

And cs regardless of demp

fresh spire
#

Other things arms could use is cs casts ravager

#

and ravager goes 100% passive

slow saddle
#

Yes!

fresh spire
#

Protection warrior unironically with all the new talents it got recently has some potential to inspire some arms changes

#

3 target execute is actually really strong and good

#

bosses like demon hunters it really gets to pop off

#

now imagine every sudden death you did with 3 mfe just hits 3 targets for big dam yep

#

and maybe even reaps

hexed saddle
#

i dont get this campaign of "remove modifiers"

#

that would be so horrifically boring

fresh spire
#

The fury change to reap is a really good change but it kinda leaves more things to be desired from arms, as much as cleave was completely dominant before the hotfix for reap damage it's sorta crushed arms one

slow saddle
fresh spire
hexed saddle
#

sure thats fine

fresh spire
#

Avatar and CS are almost the same button, just one has more amp the other has longer duration

hexed saddle
#

but ive seen people saying shit like "arms has too many things that modify other abilities!"

#

and its like

#

yeah

fresh spire
#

we need to keep MP/EP

hexed saddle
#

thats what makes shit worth pressing

fresh spire
#

or the bread and button of not spamming one button vanishes

hexed saddle
#

its what made legion arms fun

fresh spire
#

remove ep, never press MS in execute again, sounds like a good idea (if you are the enjoyer of pressing manual rend)

odd oasis
#

I don't understand this argument that "cooldowns don't line up" the only time thats an issue is pure single target colossus, every other instance you farm back your cds so fast they can line up prtty well

slow saddle
#

Lol

#

Bs - rav

#

Wb

fresh spire
#

But that's also the other end of the issue, we get our cooldowns back so often that they have to actually balance the spec around having them so much, when that happens our cooldowns end up becoming incredibly weak like they already are

slow saddle
#

Col

hexed saddle
#

yeah AM kinda cringe in that regard

fresh spire
#

fury has 3 cooldowns and it does almost nothing for it's damage profile

odd oasis
#

WB and demolish come back super fast and in slayer bs comes back fast

hexed saddle
#

should just be static cdr

odd oasis
#

no AM is awesome

slow saddle
#

No cdr

odd oasis
#

you can always just send your cooldowns

AM is the reason why warrior CD's have been shit for 8 years

odd oasis
#

if I could only warbreaker demolish once a pack and not 3 times that would feel awful

slow saddle
#

Am only covers cs

fresh spire
#

you know whats awesome

#

being taken to progress because your class actually has a use other than i do 5m damage from 0:00 to 10:00

slow saddle
#

Big fuckin burst

minor gust
#

CDR gameplay is bis if your cds actually do something for your kit and not just dmg

fresh spire
#

i love my 2 cooldowns giving me 50% flat damage

#

and 10/20% haste

hexed saddle
odd oasis
#

idk what else you expect from cooldown?

#

dmg is great

hexed saddle
#

even if it feels like they do

odd oasis
#

you want one cooldown that gives dmg, defense, resets all in one?

hexed saddle
#

no i want a cooldown that actually does one of those things well

#

which currently doesnt exist for our class

odd oasis
#

avatar plus warbreaker is 50% dmg increase

#

thats pretty nice

hexed saddle
#

have u looked at arms damage profile

fresh spire
hexed saddle
#

50% damage increase so big woa

fresh spire
#

nice until you consider bosses have damage amps where every class with a button just deleted your sorry ass from existance

odd oasis
#

woah comparing to the strongest overtuned spec rn

hexed saddle
boreal quartz
fresh spire
#

DK isn't overtuned

hexed saddle
#

bm and mm are way more egregious

boreal quartz
#

poggiewoggie

fresh spire
#

its the damage amps on bosses allowing them to be "overtuned"

boreal quartz
#

i mean

#

arcane on raz POV

#

just perfect boss for good spec

#

spec becomes hitler

odd oasis
#

slayer is pretty bad in amps, but colossus is strong in amps

hexed saddle
#

and shit everywhere else

#

and u have to crit demolish or ur fucked

boreal quartz
#

ye crit is not a thing that should be a thing for that spec

#

icl

odd oasis
#

IDK i do m+ alot more than raid

fresh spire
odd oasis
#

so theres so many bosses and pulls which are great for colossus

fresh spire
#

Dunno, arms looking fire for nexus king

#

if only it actually did damage in its cooldowns

thick kelp
#

m+ main = irrelevant opinion, im sorry

minor gust
thick kelp
#

Fake gamemode where nothing matters

slow saddle
minor gust
#

If RA was actually good and meaningful choice with AM fury is big chillin

odd oasis
#

yeah its pure single target is pretty bad, but I dont know how you expect every hero talent spec to be good at every scenario is unrealistic

hexed saddle
#

theres a lot more they would need to change for me to say fury is big chillin

minor gust
#

Sorry meant to say reck is big chillin

#

Fury got it's issues too

boreal quartz
fresh spire
#

they need to further push RA agenda, make it a giga powerful button for bosses like nexus/dem where that 20 second damage window and hard throughput matter

hexed saddle
#

they are obsessed with "empowered" abilities

#

and RA will continue to be shit as long as those are a thing

slow saddle
#

Buff ms 20%

#

Aoe isnt insane

odd oasis
#

I beat most in AOE, the most frustrating part of aoe is thunderclap only applying rend to 5 and sweeping strikes is played around more

slow saddle
#

U need uh lvls of Aoe to compensate for bad st

odd oasis
#

nah just dont be bad at arms

slow saddle
#

M8

odd oasis
#

only rarely a really good frost or bm hunter

slow saddle
#

U arent beatin fdk // hunter // havoc

fresh spire
odd oasis
#

I am tho

slow saddle
#

Ret prob

odd oasis
#

in like 90% of my keys

slow saddle
#

M8 im winnin 90% as well on fury

#

Doesnt mean im good

#

Problem is ppl are mediocre at class

hexed saddle
slow saddle
#

Lets say arms and fury arms did 9.5m fury 8.5m which 1 msde key go faster?

hexed saddle
#

any version of that ability that disinscenivizes pressing ramp is bad

fresh spire
#

empower rampage too yep

slow saddle
#

Agreed

fresh spire
#

rampage should always be the most powerful button for both thane and slayer

hexed saddle
#

generally agreed

#

i think execute should be the "most powerful" but with limited use

#

or more limited use

slow saddle
#

Exe for arms

#

Not fury

hexed saddle
#

no for both

#

execute is not an arms thing

#

its a warrior thing

slow saddle
#

Remove from fury

hexed saddle
#

wrong

slow saddle
#

Nope

#

Having dmg there makes less burst

quasi torrent
#

?

fresh spire
slow saddle
#

So id rather remove that psrt

hexed saddle
#

clown

quasi torrent
#

legion fury has entered the chat

fresh spire
#

give execute something like that Vicious contempt

quasi torrent
#

literally did 0 dmg outside BC

#

and had crazy exe

#

noway

hexed saddle
#

if ur gonna be condescending you have to be right

quasi torrent
#

!!!!

slow saddle
#

I am right?

hexed saddle
#

you arent

fresh spire
#

99 stack execute?! holy

hexed saddle
#

objectively wrong

#

actually

#

cause legion fury existed

slow saddle
#

U cant have it all

fresh spire
#

going from last to first over the execute window

quasi torrent
#

fucking hate the video

slow saddle
#

Same

hexed saddle
#

yeah its bad

fresh spire
#

it kinda goes hard but damn it goes hard for the wrong reasons

#

as its just showing the major flaw with execute in legion yet its being praised as goated gameplay

slow saddle
#

Also u cant have great st // aoe // burst // flat dmg // execute

fresh spire
#

Bruh, i miss WW in fury with the belt and wrecking ball ACTUALLY doing big damage

hexed saddle
#

i dont want flat damage

fresh spire
hexed saddle
#

ive been very vocal about that

#

i hate flat profiles

slow saddle
#

Wrong class then

fresh spire
#

i love how fury for the last like 3 expansions has just been getting flatter and flatter

slow saddle
#

Had a tiny second

#

With burst

quasi torrent
fresh spire
#

arms has become a little flatter this expansion with SD being stronger before 35%

quasi torrent
#

then doing dmg to fucking useless shit adds got it flattened

fresh spire
quasi torrent
#

genuinely trash design

hexed saddle
#

pretty wacky how horribly mismanaged warrior has been for years

quasi torrent
#

Curious isn't it

#

i wont comment further or ill incriminate myself

fresh spire
#

it has been left to rot in comparison to other classes for sure

devout pewter
#

don't worry, it's all critcake's fault anyways

fresh spire
slow saddle
#

No roar no avatar make OF fuck

minor gust
quasi torrent
#

no one thinks its arms?

slow saddle
#

Yes they do

hexed saddle
quasi torrent
#

no one who thinks this should be allowed to speak

devout pewter
#

If I think of the same video, noone thinks it's arms, definitly fury

quasi torrent
devout pewter
#

iirc the dmg meter even shows the fury icon right?

minor gust
#

So many ppl come here posting legion vid thinking it's arms

#

Cuz arms has jugg

quasi torrent
#

warrior is cooked

minor gust
#

Happened all the time

quasi torrent
#

come back next decade

lofty pulsar
#

so

slow saddle
#

I also think let fury have bladestorm and arms rav

lofty pulsar
#

the higher keys i go the more ascendance outscales dawnthread right? or are they both crap no matter what key im in

slow saddle
#

Crap

#

But still worth it

lofty pulsar
#

so ascendance > dawn?

#

or is it such a small% it doesnt matter

minor gust
#

Both are shit don't worry swap to double dawn/dusk when you can

lofty pulsar
#

already did that

slow saddle
#

Dawn if u have.723 weap?

minor gust
#

But not important

lofty pulsar
#

its crafted

#

got it

minor gust
#

Embellishments got left behind hard. Don't over think it. Put two on and call it a day

devout pewter
#

But I honestly think, Rav was a mistake

slow saddle
#

Rav lets u burst

#

By empowering ms

#

I like that

devout pewter
#

It's a passive you throw and forget

slow saddle
#

Bladestorm does nuttin

finite grotto
#

Ravager would feel sick if it did dmg

#

Does no dmg

slow saddle
#

Nah u feel rav

devout pewter
#

lol no, you really dont

minor gust
#

Rav is just a rage generator and a vehicle for Ms casts

finite grotto
#

Dude it does like what 2% of your overall

#

It’s trash

minor gust
#

It's nothing which is why it should be passive like prot

#

Or is casted when u use ava

devout pewter
#

^this

finite grotto
#

I like that

slow saddle
#

I want ava gone sooo

#

Passive with wb

minor gust
#

That works too

slow saddle
#

U wb and increase burst windows

devout pewter
#

realistically, ava won't be going anywhere for any warrior specc

slow saddle
#

Ofc in execute it would.mean never ms

devout pewter
#

that's bad

#

arms should never not press ms or focus on ms in any way in my opinion

slow saddle
#

Almost never

slow saddle
#

So ms should just exist?

devout pewter
#

What?

slow saddle
#

U said never focus or not press

devout pewter
#

What I mean is that there should never be a point in Arms' rotation where Mortal Strike becomes obsolote

slow saddle
#

I mean thats. Up to tuning

#

But in case of rav, its 3 ms. So either ms stronger than multipliers always pushed

devout pewter
#

really isn't, it's up to general design of the class. If they force us down the Shadowlands execute route, MS will become less important again. Which is just simply bad in my opinion

slow saddle
#

Or u like that execute changes prio

devout pewter
#

Buffing MS with execute is kind of the design that's acceptable, but just removing MS in order for Execute to take the place of MS, it's just bad

slow saddle
#

I mean it isnt?

devout pewter
#

That way, either of these two could just not exist and it'd be the same. Both have to be there to be special

slow saddle
#

Unhinged in this case is

#

And its for 6 seconds during cs

candid pecan
#

I was bored so I decided to do a +14 Hoa weekly as arms

#

critcake never again, the ST is atrocious

hot current
#

i started doing more

#

dps on my alt frost dk who is like 20 ilvl lower with bad secondary stats

finite grotto

Yup

shadow ibex

I want to know anda

I have my own theories

quasi torrent

a GAME theory

sage badge

Arms will own in Midnight

trim lintel

it will owns the bench like this season

I gave up stormforged so Arms can become bis next expansion.

#

I've been starting to play arms a bit more lately. It doesnt seem that bad to me so far. Defensives and survivability are a bit low compared to other classes, but the kit is pretty fun.

dim basalt
obtuse lynx
#

I dont have a ton of defensive buttons and self heals compared to something like mage or druid or evoker

dim basalt
#

Druid is squishy as hell, so is evoker

#

Compared to them we are mountains

obtuse lynx
#

But they have buttons they can hit to help survive

#

Arms does in general have a ton of armor and passive healing

dim basalt
#

You can pop def stance anytime you want for free 10%

#

Spell reflect only has a 25s cd (= 20% magic dr)

obtuse lynx
#

I honestly never thought about defensive stance

dim basalt
#

and impending victory heals a lot for its low cd

#
  • col has another I believe 5% passive
obtuse lynx
#

Ok, those are all good points. I guess it felt like fewer buttons overall but there's more than I realized

#

Damage seems decent to me though. Why is it performing so poorly this season?

dim basalt
#

Just meh numbers

#

Fury can do everything Arms can do but better

spiral coral
dim basalt
#

Multiple seasons of Arms can do bad things to your mental health

#

I enjoyed the 2-3 weeks before 11.2 tho ngl

spiral coral
#

All for the last season to have fury as a fotm and your tuning be terrible

dim basalt
shadow ibex
#

the rest of this expac has been caca

dim basalt
#

Arms peaked on Sprocketmonger imo

#

Was just a fun short fight

shadow ibex
#

whomst

#

had to check the rolodex of dumb goblin names we killed last tier

dim basalt
#

haha

obtuse lynx
#

Ive been playing more melee since i think its more fun than ranged, and I think arms is more fun than assassination rogue, feral druid, and fury warrior. So far at least

dim basalt
#

Depends where you play it

#

Arms in raid is incredibly stale

shadow ibex
#

piano arms in m+

dim basalt
#

Honestly even tho arms is so stale in raid I do kinda miss it

#

Rerolled to WW for the season and I feel burned out

#

Also doesnt help Im not nearly as good on WW as I am on Arms

#

Only parsing like 85-93 on WW whereas I almost always had 97+ on Arms even on first kills

spiral coral

#

I was going to take a break from raiding but I have to tank nexus king because one of our MTs will be gone for 3 weeks soon keks

shadow ibex
#

i was trying to find an alt to play but just went with other games

#

was gonna try WW and looted hero warbound antenna from kill this week

dim basalt
#

WW is in such a weird spot rn

#

Shado Pan is kinda stale like Arms, conduit is really hectic and has to play SW

#

If it wasnt for SW I would like Conduit probably

#

That hero tree is straight up not playable if you dont have a really good ping

shadow ibex
#

im not a huge fan of earth wind and all that

#

or the dps cds

dim basalt
#

Yeah that shit is also bugged

shadow ibex
#

putting my perfomance in hands of blizzard pet AI

dim basalt
#

WW is one of the lowest ST siming specs despite oversimming like 5% due to bugs

shadow ibex
#

shit i refuse to do in any mmo really is play a pet class cuz that alone

dim basalt
#

But padding bosses are fun

shadow ibex
#

feel like i would hate conduit

#

you have to channel it?

#

yea no fuck that

#

only like lvl45 rn

dim basalt
#

Idk thats not too bad imo

#

At least you have super fast FoF's

#

You will learn to hate Slicing Wind

shadow ibex
#

it does so much dmg

#

according to tooltip

lofty pulsar

running slayer in my 14 DB wish me luck lmao

#

fuck me man i thought hunter was op

I heard somewhere fury only gets 2 pc for pvp. Is it the same for arms or do I want the 4pc?

minor gust

#

Shouldn't crit be the best stat for Colossus by far as it does not only increases dmg but also reduces Demolish CD?

pearl nymph
#

hate that they removed execute reduce the cd on demolish

dim basalt
#

Together with mastery

bronze wharf
#

kind of depends on the gear ig?

#

i have much more haste than crit (5k rating diff) and it still sims better in a lot of cases

grave mulch
#

it will come a time for arms ( If playing slayer) crit will become wayyyyy less valuable and mastery and vers look very nice

#

i have alot of haste like 25k?

bronze wharf
#

i suppose we talk about collossus, at least question was reffering to demolish

thick kelp
#

Colossus does prefer the stats something along the lines of Crit>mastery>=haste>versa

candid pecan
#

what was that about?? (got deleted). BRO, we're talking about MS and Demolish and stuff here.

weak wave
dim basalt
#

You dont do that on any spec

weak wave
#

hmm

dim basalt
#

Otherwise sims wouldnt exist in the first place

slow saddle
#

Dang blizzard and their dimishin returns

dim basalt
#

Not really because of dr but because of how stat scaling works

fossil root
#

Are you ready to see ARMS changes in 12.0 alpha?

#

||Skill efficiencies are now capped at 3 targets||

shadow ibex
#

Sick tuning

weak rain
#

well, if they let execute cleave 3 targets like prot and execute will fuck, why not?

warped ether
#

Make juggernut damage increase just like a passive that happens when a mob/boss hits 35%

#

Or when sd procs

weak rain
#

It's actually not a terrible idea to make juggernaut passive that just increases dmg of execute(and maybe something else?) the lower target is

#

like udk talent

mortal niche
halcyon valve
#

Do 0.5% increased dmg for every 1% missing hp on the target

#

So 25% increase at 50%, and once you get into 35% execute phase it does 32.5% increased damage

forest perch
#

Or make slam build juggernaut charges keks

#

Doesn't a juggernaut slam things anyways

floral ledge

no patch note for 4 week ?

Till then, press N and accept, the grass is greener 😁

weak rain
#

I think arms has least parses atm and is like lat or second to last on performance in raid

thick kelp
#

They are

#

completely reworking arms from ground up for midnight

#

so they are not touching us

#

to get as little players as possible

forest perch

I hope the person who's reworking it mains arm and loves it

Fury is more about reckless abandon spec to me(every iteration of it)

dim basalt
#

AM is shit

#

Waste of a talent point really

weak rain
#

its overnerfed yes, but still feels good

#

its way better than static 45 sec cd(I play fdk too for reference)

#

at least to me

#

df am was lit

slow saddle
#

Remove am

#

Static cds are way better

#

Blizzard will be able to tune it so it works

#

Misalignes cds coz u did good is dumb

#

And with static we can be more bursty

weak rain
#

No, keep am, rework demolish so it replaces wb, to prevent misalignes

slow saddle
#

Bladestorm misaligned with cs

shadow ibex
slow saddle
#

Give me off gcd sweep

#

And id actually be suprised

fossil root
slow saddle
#

Nah

fossil root
#

Why do you need an ability to hit more than 1 target with a giant weapon?

slow saddle
#

Coz u change

#

From overhead hits

#

To sweepin attacks

fossil root
slow saddle
#

I mean, if we want all abilities to sweep

fossil root
#

Make it stance

slow saddle
#

Its a limited toggle

fossil root
#

And Arms a stance dancer

slow saddle
#

If u want it to be good

#

I want bursy

#

Not passive cleave

lofty pulsar

in general difference between skullsplitter and strength of arms choice node is like .5% for skullsplitter right

I actually like our aoe

i wish it didnt naturally desync but ye, current aoe feels cozy

slow saddle

And ofc tc only rending t

#

Thats dumb af

jovial hare
#

target caps in general feel awful

#

like i guess i get why they're there even tho the reasoning on blizzards part is kinda dent headed

slow saddle
#

Nah

#

Caps are ok

#

But tc only rending 5 with no control

#

Is dumb ag

#

Af

jovial hare
#

caps on spreading dots n stuff is stupid
like its such a minor thing
but its just like
dude why

slow saddle
#

Because rend used to fuck on prot

#

Is my guess🤣

jovial hare
#

god forbid prot be allowed to have fun during cds

slow saddle
#

Problem is

#

We share abilities

#

Unlike other tanks

jovial hare
#

different spellids
talents
all sorts of solutions
but blizzard would rather just take the laziest route, it feels like

#

i know its prob a lot more nuanced than that

slow saddle
#

Blood is blood not frost

jovial hare
#

blood shares a lot of it's bigger stuff w/ the whole of dk even tho it has its own rotational stuff

#

but i get what u mean

teal fossil
#

they are just lazy

jovial hare
#

heart strike isnt catching a stray nerf bc scourge strike hits hard

slow saddle
#

This

teal fossil
#

there are plenty of spec specific modifiers

#

idk what the rumor came from

jovial hare
#

but they could easily just make prot have it's own rend
and arms have it's own

#

kinda how survival and bm have different versions of kill command

#

they're not the same spell internally, different spellids and uses

teal fossil
#

they already do

jovial hare
#

ye just lazy

teal fossil
#

slam does 75% more damage for arms than fury for example

jovial hare
#

needs to be 135% FingerGuns

teal fossil
#

rend got weaker because our core spells got buffed

#

not because rend got nerfed

slow saddle
#

But

#

5 target

#

Was due to prot

teal fossil
#

5 target on rend?

#

ya thats cuz prot tcs 10x as often as arms

#

but a decision made in 10.0 is not affecting balance in 11.2

slow saddle
#

Its kindda frustrating

#

In m×

teal fossil
#

idk about you

#

but id rather my spells do more damage

#

than my rend

slow saddle
#

Still want rend spread to all

#

Take it from dw

#

Idc

teal fossil
#

so you weaken dw by x%

#

put it into rend

#

whats the diff

slow saddle

Tc applies to all my targrts
