Which is still boring

#

Cuz its more mastery is vers

bronze wharf
#

and you kind of need SD procs to do DW damage

minor gust
#

But oh well

#

I'll take it

thick kelp
#

Looks like arms is gonna game their SD's on CD

shadow ibex
#

i like three GCDs between cleave instead of spam. as long as hitting 3 stacks > keeping cleave on CD that's a huge W imo

thick kelp
#

with jugg gone

balmy kindle
#

think its good honestly ? right now execute is dead button on colo

shadow ibex
#

that CD change i actually love

#

assuming with tuning we dont just ignore it and actually try to hit 3 stacks

misty bridge
#

SS turning to charges?

thick kelp
#

yes

drowsy cobalt
#

Midnight talent calculator when? xan

thick kelp
empty sluice
#

damn BS extends CS xd

#

thats cool

shadow ibex
#

at least a little thinking

bronze wharf
#

i think overpower now wont have 2 stacks right

thick kelp
#

imp op still there

bronze wharf
#

with slam talents, tacticians procs would be more important then

thick kelp
#

below fbv

bronze wharf
#

oh right right

minor kraken
#

Why the fuck is Two handed specialization still there as a talent?

hardy marten
#

finishing blows node under a pure aoe talent is certainly a choice

shadow ibex
#

is there actual colossus changes NYI or just wowhead weirdness

minor gust
#

No hero talent stuff

#

Yet

vast helm
#

we back ?

misty bridge
#

Spiteful serenity my beloved still remains gladge

balmy kindle
#

kinda back judging from now, holy hyped

minor gust
#

Bro just asked if we back after a massive rework

#

We are so back

shadow ibex
#

lmao wait wait wait wait

#

that fury talent

#

is the coolest shit i ever seen

bronze wharf
#

honestly spiteful serenity might be the go to lmao

#

with more crit/mastery oriented space

#

and no iftk

vernal thistle
#

Chat tldr is its joever or are we barrack

balmy kindle
misty bridge
#

barrack

vernal thistle
#

Lfg

shadow ibex
#

i mean its dumb to have a capstone be dedicated to a cheat death as a dps

minor gust
#

What's it do I can't look rn

shadow ibex
#

but its funny

soft sigil
shadow ibex
#

that tooltip has 0 output value

balmy kindle
shadow ibex
#

well you would have to kill the mob that meleed you

#

in 8 seconds

soft sigil
#

Useless in real content

shadow ibex
#

gl killing m+ trash in 8 secs

balmy kindle
#

oh wait didnt realized its 8 secs

#

oof

#

maybe in pvp its gonna be cheese idk

shadow ibex
#

strange decision to spend a capstone on that

#

i appreciate the energy but execution is 0/10

radiant dawn
#

for world content andy who somehow dies to mobs

bronze wharf
#

maybe it will come up live with bonus dmg when "dead"

radiant dawn
bronze wharf
#

then it would be funny

balmy kindle
#

i think its only going to be good in arenas

weak rain
#

Holy, avatar is truly gone, we now 45 sec(30 with am) cd class

empty sluice
balmy kindle
#

8s of zug zug

weak rain
#

methodical

shadow ibex
#

it would have to give you a super buff version of bloodlust and like reduce all ability cost by 100%

minor gust
# shadow ibex

So weird to put that in spec tree with no DPS increase or something with it to make it viable

arctic compass
#

Wtf is happening, are we back? Chadstorm

balmy kindle
#

very BACK

minor gust
#

Cuz right now you will never take that in real content

minor gust
#

Cuz it doesn't do anything you just live for 8 seconds after dying

shadow ibex
#

i appreciate the flavor attempt but

#

0/10

minor gust
#

Yeah 100%

#

Should be in class tree tho

#

Or have like a 10% BT buff tied to it or something

#

Something passive

shadow ibex
#

even if you gave it a 100% stronger version of bloodlust and made ramapge cost 0 rage

#

and lasted 20 seconds isntead of 8

weak rain
#

Bro, infinite stacking deep wounds in exe phase lmao, lets goo, jugg gone

shadow ibex
#

at least the DW isnt based off crit dmg

balmy kindle
#

thing is, if u put it on 20s its going to be busted in arenas ( granted they can adjust it seperately )

shadow ibex
#

so its not a % of ur dmg the exe did

#

so no crit rng

vast surge
#

Guys, this arms rework sound cool

short oasis
#

Are we back? with that arms tree rework*

shadow ibex
#

really though having a boss die with 30 seconds left on your deepwound

balmy kindle
#

they were not lying on the trailers okayge

shadow ibex
#

is gonna be critcake

weak rain
vast surge
#

The duration doesn’t stack

#

Only the damage

shadow ibex
#

oh i read it the other way im dumb

bronze wharf
vast surge
#

Does that mean our mastery has been reworked?

shadow ibex
#

yes

#

probably just physical dmg

weak rain
shadow ibex
#

or dmg on the important stuff

vast surge
#

Ravager is gone

shadow ibex
#

as it should be

vast surge
#

Gonna be interesting for colossus

dim basalt
#

valorstones gone

#

w

bronze wharf
#

bonus magical dmg from mastery okaygemonkahmm

shadow ibex
#

and BS isnt a huge investment

vast surge
#

I won’t miss Ravager

shadow ibex
#

you take BS and thats it

#

take bonegrinder for aoe

#

no need for unhinged to make BS good

short oasis
#

Does arms get a new mastery? with deep wounds being a talent now?

vast surge
#

I like that bladestorm refunds the duration of CS

minor gust
#

Sorta

short oasis
#

do we know what it is?

minor gust
#

Just flat dmg

#

Not tied to bleed

weak rain
#

Sweeps reworked to 6 abilities base, right?

minor gust
#

So vers 2.0

candid pecan
#

this should work on aoe too right? extends CS on every target?

minor gust
#

Yeah

candid pecan
minor gust
#

Since CS is AOE now

#

No more WB

shadow ibex
#

its a good tree

vast surge
#

They cooked

weak rain
#

I really like arms tree and I really like that they removed focking avatar

candid pecan
#

they had enough of the RIP gifs, they reworked the talents

vast surge
#

Did they make thunderous roar baseline?

candid pecan
#

thank god

minor gust
#

They saw the bland chicken quote and realized oh shit we forgot about warrior

shadow ibex
#

iftk gone

minor gust
#

So they cooked

thick kelp
shadow ibex
#

this is gonna be a sloooow spec

radiant lion
#

what's with them and wanting warriors to have bleeds

#

Get me out

shadow ibex
#

no iftk is gonna slow shit down

weak rain
radiant dawn
shadow ibex
#

losing 50% uptime mini bloodlust

thick kelp
shadow ibex
#

really wonder how slow this shit is gonna be

cobalt sinew
#

the real question is if ss will be a gcd still

shadow ibex
#

i welcome it

short oasis
#

only thing i dont like, from the looks of it, we might have to play spear

cobalt sinew
bronze wharf
#

also new expansion stat squish okayge

short oasis
#

Cuz roar is missing

shadow ibex
#

yea lots of util at the end is good

#

means we can take all the 2/2 dps increases and not miss shit

radiant dawn
#

i just see in #updates-midnight "arms rotation is BM levels of boring" and I'm sitting there coping and praying that apex and hero shit will make it, not, in fact BM

shadow ibex
#

BC is mandatory ig

radiant dawn
#

and if it sucks I still play because I'm hopeless

shadow ibex
#

but shattering and last stand you can skip 100%

short oasis
#

wait a sec

#

does arms lose avatar?

thick kelp
#

yep

short oasis
#

or did it become baseline

thick kelp
#

gone

short oasis
karmic reef
#

Am I reading this correctly? Sweeping strikes has limited amount of ability you can use instead of duration?

minor gust
#

Yes

#

OG sweeping back

shadow ibex
#

we dont have a major cd then yea?

#

assuming CS is 45 and then like 22 with AM

short oasis
#

only colossus smash from the look of it

thick kelp
short oasis
#

and bladestorm

shadow ibex
#

ahhh BS

thick kelp
#

doesnt get reduced by AM

minor gust
#

Which means incoming CS apex talent for arms

#

Calling it now

short oasis
#

cs apex talent?

regal wharf
#

YOOOOOOOO

#

SWEEPING STRIKES

shadow ibex
#

yea how are apex talents fitting into this

#

just another row under BS?

thick kelp
#

or on the side

minor gust
#

Well find out in a month

thick kelp
#

but they are their own chunk

shadow ibex
#

the point cost is seperate?

#

or w/e

#

like you couldnt take points from the apex chunk and use them elsewhere higherup

dreamy spire
#

So avatar and dragons roar gone for arms? We are left with Bladestorm and Spear?

minor gust
#

Spear is just util

#

Not a DPS cd

steep osprey
#

how is arms talents

dim basalt
#

really good

minor gust
#

Look for yourself

#

Why u asking us

#

It just came out xd

dreamy spire
radiant dawn
#

maybe he's on break at work and just wants peoples opinions

sacred ore
#

Do not like what they did to warriors

minor gust
radiant dawn
#

I can't even open wow head with my dog ass connection ATM

soft gust
#

Sweeping strikes is charge based now?

minor gust
#

Which is what we have been asking for

#

Arms had to many cds

dreamy spire
#

that*

soft gust
#

is there a total changelog or is it just the trees for rn

short oasis
#

idk if im a huge fan of one of the last talents, with slam making MS better

dreamy spire
minor gust
#

I don't concern myself with PvP so bye bye ava

sharp tendon
#

Hate slam was hoping for a bether skull split like it was bedore

#

Before

dim basalt
#

Slam wont feel as bad anymore

sharp tendon
#

True

vast surge
#

They need to update the audio for slam. It’s ass.

minor gust
#

Won't feel bad at all cuz it actually interacts with your kit

#

And not just useless weak filler

dim basalt
#

I love our opener already

#

Just being bursty

sharp tendon
#

Slam also just have a bad show

radiant lion
#

just want a strong bladestorm, mop bladestorm fucks

vast surge
#

I do like what they’ve done to make pressing slam feel good.

minor gust
shadow ibex
#

really wonder what rage looks like and how slow it plays

dim basalt
#

Rage will prob kinda play a role in the first patch if I had to guess

shadow ibex
#

no iftk haste is p massive we've been playing fast arms since like bfa

radiant lion
dim basalt
#

And become whatever in the later patches with stats

dusk agate
#

That charge talent is super interesting, return to charge weaving

dim basalt
#

low haste low crit = no bueno

river ridge
#

But Juggernaut is dead tho

shadow ibex
#

its been p much 60+ apm cuz of iftk or corruption for like 6 years

dim basalt
river ridge
#

We love to see it

vast surge
#

Juggernaut is gone and I’ve never been happier

shadow ibex
#

the fact finishing blows is at the bottom of the tree

#

makes me believe rage is gonna be tight

minor gust
#

Idk

dim basalt
#

I think it would be lit if they also added DW to collat

river ridge
#

Like Jugg is gone. Test of Might is gone.

minor gust
#

We'll see tho when we can play

river ridge
#

Already got me excited to try it out xD

minor gust
#

No clue how rage and global economy is gonna be

#

Till we can play

dim basalt
#

DN and FB should swap places

shadow ibex
#

i assume FB is there cuz thats the exe side

dim basalt
#

Theyre both weird on their spots

shadow ibex
#

and exe is gonna be expensive

dim basalt
#

hmm

shadow ibex
#

but

#

look what its under

dreamy spire
#

anyone did the math for blunt instruments/spitefull serenity?

In what situation we are gonna use these talents?

shadow ibex
#

to path to FB, you have to get an two target talent

#

that is a very bad place for it yea

dreamy spire
#

My monkey brain says: dmg spikes = blunt, lkong fights spitefull

minor gust
#

Shit just came out like an hour ago

#

No math will exist

shadow ibex
#

if you wanted FB for st, you have to go thru aoe talents

dim basalt
#

FB wouldnt be cheaper if it was on DNs spot anyway

#

Still T3

#

With lots of other sick talents

shadow ibex
#

to get to fb youd have to take cleave

dim basalt
#

We will definitely starve points down there lmao

shadow ibex
#

so yea it needs to move

#

DN is the aoe option there

#

u can path with crit too but at very least u have to take collat and that would do nothing in ST

dim basalt
#

Efficiency would also feel better if it was on the same side of FB

#

But we dont know what talents will be played anyway

shadow ibex
#

honestly yea just swap FB and DN

dim basalt
#

And according to Archi it will be tight

shadow ibex
#

at the very least only cuz its an aoe talent and u'd be pathing thru aoe to get to it

#

vs if FB was actually rlly good but ah shit i gotta take collateral for it?

radiant dawn
#

like ignoring math and the actual throughput

#

i ain't wanna press a cooldown to do a bit more for a while I wanna pump

slow saddle
#

Ofc

dim basalt
#

Even in aoe I can see BI being better

#

You pre-stack collat

slow saddle
#

Flat dmg profile suck

radiant dawn
#

yeah

dim basalt
#

And do some boom boom

devout pewter
#

Am i dreaming?

slow saddle
#

I just wanna boom boom

minor gust
#

That's why colossus exists

radiant dawn
#

like stacking demolish and a collat if ur lucky into BI would just be sex anyways

minor gust
#

Slayer flat Colossus burst

dim basalt
#

We might get to see col in raid man

#

Especially with a bleed set

#

Hard to imagine

shadow ibex
#

The fact you can have spiteful and am

limber prairie
#

ok boys, we're back

shadow ibex
#

In theory you could have 100% uptime

#

Rn am is like 50% cdr on cs

radiant dawn
#

Consolation slam price for getting no procs

copper swan
#

ayyoo ToM is gone ?

radiant dawn
#

Lfgggggg

devout pewter
#

I thought i was dreaming, then i saw emphasis on arms slam.. ffs

shadow ibex
#

That does include iftk haste tho

slow saddle
dim basalt
shadow ibex
#

And blunt

dim basalt
#

Maybe a bit less in first patch tho

radiant lion
#

wooooo modifiers!

shadow ibex
#

But eventually yea

dim basalt
#

Then make it 75 to 80

#

Which is still a lot

shadow ibex
#

During lust in s1

dim basalt
#

If you need the flat damage profile

shadow ibex
#

It would be up a lot in s1

#

And just got up from there

dim basalt
#

Im hyped

shadow ibex
#

100% uptime on 20% buff

dim basalt
#

Hope we get to see EA gameplay soon

shadow ibex
#

Or 50% uptime on whatever blunt is

crystal wing
#

is the implication of this that deep wounds isn't arm's mastery anymore? or am i tripping

thick kelp
#

Yes

#

we have new mastery

crystal wing
#

cool

copper swan
crystal wing
#

fuck deep wounds

dim basalt
#

New mastery will likely not be exciting anyway

#

Masteries are just fancy vers

vapid goblet
shadow ibex
#

Mastery i don't have to apply is a good mastery

vapid goblet
#

fucking finnaly

thick kelp
#

rn on alpha afaik arms mastery is just more dmg if u have a 2h equipped

#

xfd

vapid goblet
#

lmao

#

lame

#

xdxdxd

dim basalt
#

Imagine mastery giving crit damage

shadow ibex
#

Good

thick kelp
#

Praying its a placeholder

jovial hare
#

interpose seems kinda pog

radiant dawn
#

prolly is lol

shadow ibex
warped solstice
#

RIP Single Minded Fury Arms. 😭

radiant dawn
#

I don't imagine it'll be giga exciting

#

but it'll be different

shadow ibex
#

Even if it was an awful ratio

#

Some crit amp in my mastery

minor gust
vast surge
dim basalt
#

I mean its not unrealistic it will be crit damage imo

shadow ibex
#

Im gonna cry in work rn just thinking of it

copper swan
#

so they removed SMF... maybe a hot take but i would have removed TG instead and fully make fury aggressive and rapid style spec SweatPopcorn

thick kelp
minor gust
#

Yea

green geode
#

So rend is basically blood and thunder now?

#

I guess I dont see the difference

thick kelp
#

Rend is for arms

#

blood and thunder is for thane

green geode
#

Ohhhhh

#

Okay that makes sense thank you sir

thick kelp
#

uncapped too so

molten marsh
#

guys am i right that juggernaut is gone

thick kelp
#

just click once and smile

vast surge
#

Yeah, rend isn’t target capped either

thick kelp
molten marsh
#

that one talent that made me hate raiding

#

thank. god.

#

YES

molten marsh
#

honestly fuck that talent so hard im actually mad from having to use it

#

so glad that shit is gone

#

yeessss

shadow ibex
#

Juggernaut ruined this expansion for me ngl

molten marsh
#

i literally just stopped raiding as arms in slayer fights

#

went fury

shadow ibex
#

Just awful gameplay and for every fight

radiant dawn
#

Juggernaut is the perfect example of a good concept done in such a back breaking way

cerulean zenith
#

in execute phase, what has prio? execute > OP > MS or MS > OP?

molten marsh
#

DEPENDS LMAO

minor gust
#

In juggs defense

shadow ibex
#

No

minor gust
#

It wasn't juggs fault

#

It was slayers

shadow ibex
#

I won't hear it

radiant dawn
#

I'm victim blaming

#

I don't care

molten marsh
#

XD

minor gust
#

Slayer is what made Jugg cringe

copper swan
#

Past me, you've been heared

molten marsh
molten marsh
#

then just only execute with 2 stacks of mortal strike

molten marsh
#

isnt juggernauts whole problem is that its rng tho

#

and trackiing 3 buffs suck

minor gust
#

Still glad they just removed it

molten marsh
#

and part of that is sudden death

minor gust
#

Instead of fucking with it

cerulean zenith
slow saddle
#

No jugger is a win!

vast surge
slow saddle
#

Sd procs = now we press 100power

#

Juggernaut always made sd bad

shadow ibex
#

Tbf people got lucky and maintained stacks in df

molten marsh
shadow ibex
#

Only one a handful of fights

#

But it happened if you were mega lucky with the sd proc tier

slow saddle
#

Juggernaut always meant, base exe worse

cerulean zenith
bronze wharf
#

finally lmao

karmic reef
slow saddle
#

No ms when u can

molten marsh
#

no no mortal strike gives your next execute much more damage

karmic reef
#

so they kept the rend target cap

molten marsh
#

2 stacks of mortal strike debuff on target

thick kelp
minor gust
molten marsh
#

dont play around overpower buffing mortal strike at all

minor gust
#

Rend itself is AOE blood and thunder is something else

#

For thane

karmic reef
#

oh I see

sharp wyvern
#

fatality got redesigned

cerulean zenith
molten marsh
#

yea exactly

slow saddle
#

What op did for ms

molten marsh
#

so 2x mortal strike -> execute, repeat

vast helm
#

where is Ravager?

cerulean zenith
molten marsh
#

but use your overpower procs or you rage starve so fast

#

if you dont have 2 ms stacks, you overpower to help with rage even without a proc

#

then ms comes back, hit that again, THEN execute

#

also if im wrong pls correct me other arms bois, im an m+ guy

#

im not big into raid as arms cause.. juggernaut xd

cerulean zenith
molten marsh
#

if youre rage capped probably execute but youre probably. not going to be in this situation

#

honestly execute without the mortal strike debuff does beans damage

#

well with jugg stacks in execute phase its probably still p good.. ill just say execute but dont trust me 100% here, im an m+ main

calm elm
#

Iirc It was just send it unless you risk running out of rage for MS. But yea once you are in execute you really shouldn't be all that flushed with rage anymore unless you just had a bunch of OP procs.

Hi arms

hot take but im glad ravager is off the arms tree. what a flacid ability that is. never felt satisfying to use

fossil thistle
regal wharf
#

They turned our CD into a channel

fossil thistle
#

WWE is a good example as to why the new breed think they’re good but they aren’t

floral ledge
#

like ok arms get rework talent but EVERY OTHER CLASS got one too

fossil thistle
#

😌

regal wharf
#

I have a good IO

#

But im bad at the game

regal dragon
#

im bad at both

frosty pike
#

i know this is likely not a final product but this is so silly to me

Mastery: Master of Arms has been redesigned – While wielding a two-handed weapon, you deal Mastery% additional damage.

#

i think the devs hate balancing around mastery lol

#

would have been cool to see a callback to old arms weapon specs. make our mastery give different stats on weapon type, even if its just haste/crit/vers

fossil thistle
#

They don’t make an axe sword mace and polearm for every tier

naive sage
regal wharf
#

Yes, you get more damage from holding a weapon

frosty pike
#

yeah thats true, weapon types are limited. i dunno, something more than "mastery=damage". i know thats generally what it has been but at least deep wounds was some flavor

#

now we are just a less involved fury mastery

fossil thistle
#

Most classes is mastery = damage

frosty pike
#

yeah, its bland when we already have a stat for that

fossil thistle
#

It’s called mastery keks

#

I’ll take raw damage over “chance to proc”

frosty pike
#

couldnt be me

fossil thistle
#

That’s like putting juggernaut and SD into your mastery and that sounds terrible

#

“Your mastery has a very high chance to effect your potential damage output through RNG”

frosty pike
#

i think thats a perfectly fine way to balance if the reward to building/speccing/minmaxxing correctly is a guaranteed output through RNG

#

its not ever going to be 100% but im sure most people wouldn't have complained about juggernaut if sudden death was consistent enough that it felt more like ramping with (some) chance to fail vs high chance to fail if you weren't monitoring it

#

or... even with monitoring it at times lol

#

having an absolutely static output would just make every class based around mini-dots and auto attacks

#

and then youre just playing the game of uptime

fossil thistle
#

And felt like crap

frosty pike
#

agreed

eternal edge
#

if i read new talents correctly, we have now rend baseline and they removed skullsplitter?

fossil thistle
#

So why would making a poor gameplay style into mastery lol

frosty pike
#

because its not a design choice that made it unenjoyable, it was a tuning issue

#

the proc rate was low enough that it became a problem

#

if the proc rate is increased through statting or some other means of agency to the player its fine

#

same reason we don't complain about our rotation being CDR based

#

it flows and works well because the amount you're getting from spent rage is tuned to do so

#

other specs also have some fillers that can be used to bridge a gap of bad RNG too, but i don't usually enjoy that playstyle as much

eternal edge
#

you mean like slam actually?

frosty pike
#

that could be a choice yeah, i was thinking how fury works as well where you dont have guaranteed uptime of enrage but generally youll sit close enough to 100% through correctly performing your rotation

fossil thistle
#

Pretty sure fury has had 85% uptime on enrage since legion

frosty pike
#

oh could be, i dont play fury much, seems to be an acceptable amount either way

#

in my own anecdotal experience i dont see fury mains complain about enrage falling off, but maybe thats the case

eternal edge
frosty pike
#

also looking at parses im seeing a lot of these guys at 95% or higher

#

but yeah thats all contextual etc etc

shadow ibex
#

sharpened blades 2 pointer

#

10% crit dam on ms you love to see it

fossil thistle
#

Side note

#

You guys see US government pulled a Paladin discord

eternal edge
#

real question : we lost Dragon roar or it will become baseline?

#

i didn't see it in new talents

eternal edge
#

but we keep that spear

dim basalt
#

Spear is utility

frosty pike
#

my first reaction is all these big offensive CDs being removed is sucky but i'm hoping the floor for what we keep is brought up in turn. the arms setup is a little much to people who havent been playing the class for a lifetime

#

would love to see arms burst window just be a meaty smash->bladestorm->cleave spam

dim basalt
frosty pike
#

we don't have avatar anymore

dim basalt
#

Avatar just sucked

#

roar was bad

frosty pike
#

i mean its arms bro its relative i know it all sucked

dim basalt
#

Baking avatar into cs is a lot cooler

eternal edge
#

ok so now all CD we'll have is BS?

frosty pike
#

yeah i like that its not a choice between smash and warbreaker anymore as well

#

thats maybe my favorite change

eternal edge
#

and maintain rend ofc

dim basalt
#

Depending on tuning we might only have cs, not even bs

eternal edge
dim basalt

But also depends on apex talents which will either affect cs or bs

ah yeah you're right so no more CD, lovely changes

I wouldnt mind BS being strong tho

all we have to do is maintain rend i guess

frosty pike
#

same, i really enjoy BS, its felt pretty in hand with arms identity for some time now

#

i was saying earlier how much i disliked ravager being meta

dim basalt
#

It being flat 1.5m is a good change

i hope we'll be strong cause we now have no CD

and Fatality grants now only 5 stacks instead of 15

  • reworked ss
eternal edge
#

sounds like good changes (copium)

eternal edge
frosty pike
#

i think too many of these changes need number adjustments which may not have happened yet to really say

deep wounds being attached to execute is an immediate frowny from me, but it might work well enough if the damage is a nice bonus to sudden death vs a loss of overall uptime

then theres things like die by the sword and ignore pain being a choice, i can't imagine short of them really buffing ignore pain anyone ever choosing that

#

i'd also like the positioning of the warrior tree tuned a little bit, that feels awkward atm

dim basalt
#

Its the very first iteration, there will very likely be changes

frosty pike
#

absolutely

#

the majority of complaints seem to be number balancing and positioning, both are easily remedied

dim basalt
#

Numbers are really whatever right now

eternal edge
#

they'll probably adjust numbers for end of TWW and later for Midnight

so they just deleted 20% damage increase and didnt add anything to fill the void? like im not seeing anything that would feel any better that avatar

It's great for PvE, but for PvP you lose one root break

hmm i liked avatar for the theme of colossus but its not the end of the world i guess

elder zealot
#

True, it does make you bigger and even says "Transform into a colossus" in the tooltip 😂

digital sand
#

but not having to worry about CD windows is gonna be nice

elder zealot
#

Yep 💯% agree

#

It's why Fury is so much easier to play and better in PUGs; you don't have to worry about lining things up as much, and you can just go with whatever cadence

#

You won't have to worry about those moments where you are unsure if the tank if gonna add more, and whether you should send or hold

true ive mainly played arms cuz i like the fantasy much better then fury, but sadly i switched over for higher content rn

no need to be hostage to 1.5 trinkets then, can use other stuff... tho id like spear gone too

jovial hare
spring ruin
#

Sounds good, love bladestorm. I think more of kit for all class should go into support ability and less cognitive load or button bloat on DPS rotation

#

the left side of tree has more support now forcing you to think about doing things for the good of group instead of most of time staring at a DPS meter. This change in design philosophy is going to make players less selfish and more collaborative

dim basalt
#

Because Slayer still reduces BS

#

So any trinket will work and you will line it with cs

spring ruin
#

yeah i seen that and thought it was an opporunity more than a detriment to play style. People dont use avatar for the removing root n snares which is more pvp oriented and a flat 20 percent dmg increase is kind of boring

gonna make a new warrior going into midnight, was wondering is there any races that have an advantage other than dwarf for stoneskin?

is besides those all of it the same?

I think Orc and Troll have a cooldown that can increase dmg which you macro into avatar or something but I don't think there is anything else too different.

vernal thistle
#

fk i cant decide lmao

#

think its either orc or night elf

minor gust

The right answer is whatever race is more visually appealing.

#

If your min maxing race in retail your lost in the sauce

iron fiber
#

There will be no avatar in midnight critcake

minor gust
#

You don't need it nor want it

iron fiber

Only real answer though is dark iron dwarf.

tawny frigate
#

i'm sorry i havent entirely been paying attention to the new talent tree: is there a "replacement" for avatar like a new cooldown? or are there other new talents that make its removal not matter

misty bridge

I say atm as nothing is set in stone as it's the first alpha build

minor gust
dim basalt
#

Avatar served no purpose

spiral coral
# vernal thistle think its either orc or night elf

Both are great. Both are bis models and have great racials. Shadowmeld is the best racial in the game when used right but orc has a straight up damage boost. I have both, can’t decide which I enjoy more.

dim basalt
#

As a dps you benefit more from the dwarf racial than the nightelf one

spiral coral
#

You could also be cursed like me and make a Vulpera too 😮

spiral coral
dim basalt
#

Not really because the dps difference is insanely minor

spiral coral
#

But saying stone form is better than shadowmeld… nah

dim basalt
#

When do you really need shadowmeld as a dps lol

#

As a tank Id get it

vale cradle
spiral coral
#

Spell aimed at me. Shadowmeld. Have agro. Shadowmeld. Going in before tank by accident or on purpose. Shadowmeld. Skips in dungeons. Shadowmeld. Tank dies and I need to juggle some ads and also save myself. Shadowmeld. Really random open world shit. Shadowmeld.

dim basalt
#

Well if you have aggro thats your fault more often than not

#

Youre not gonna do skips as a dps

#

And you could argue that shadowmelding because the tank died as practically useless because it will kill someone else instead

minor gust
#

There's plenty of skips you can do as arms with meld

dim basalt
#

Or you after breaking stealth

vale cradle
#

The answers to all those problems is die by the sword or spell reflect

glacial rapids
# dim basalt Do we have info on the Haranir racials?

A passive damage increase against Aberrations and Elementals, as well as reduced damage taken from them.

An innate critical strike damage and healing bonus. This may work similarly the Tauren Brawn or Dwarven Might of the Mountain racials.

A targeted ground ability that summons smart roots, which can heal allies and damage enemies.

A fast travel ability that allows the Haranir to travel across the roots of the World Trees, similar to the Dark Iron Dwarf ability Mole Machine. While some locations will be immediately available for fast travel, others will need to be unlocked by exploring the world.

I found a fix

If you go to your main Program Files → WoW Retail folder and execute WOW.exe, you can then login with your user, PW, and MANUAL (not the auto token request) authenticator code from the mobile app to login to your retail account OK. This seems to be more of an issue with the BNET launcher than with WOW.

Found this solution in the forums, worked for me.

fury is tankier, heals more, has a much easier way doing aoe in delves and open world content

you could definitely play it and be fine

you're absolutely fine with arms in +11, might just have a bit higher learning curve than fury
