SKS is best option for prio and ST but most don't care to use SKS so they drop it

slow saddle
#

ill try it

minor gust
#

It's like a .3% loss to just take SOA instead

slow saddle
#

also like

#

can we discuss

#

the horrid way we spread rend atm ๐Ÿ˜„

#

like wth ๐Ÿ˜„

#

can they just give us all rend targets now ๐Ÿ˜›

minor gust
#

ATM we've been spreading it this dumb way since DF

slow saddle
#

i know i know, i took a break

#

playing fury

#

coz its just so good boss dmg

#

but i always miss arms

minor gust
#

That's how it goes that's why I'm glad I enjoy both specs. Get bored of one swap over for bit

#

Don't really care if ones worse or not

slow saddle
#

yeah

#

they could buff

#

COL ST

#

a bit imho

minor gust
#

Could but they won't TWW over

slow saddle
#

ofc

#

not

#

its fine what ever

#

but like u understand why ppl paly fury

#

if its only power

minor gust
#

I mean yeah ik why fury is overall better but like I also don't care. Colo fucks enough that the spec is far from bad in M+

lofty pulsar

lofty pulsar
#

its when i try to even get into a low mythic guild they're like "not fury? you're trolling" lol

#

while i parse an average of like 98 in m+, which admittedly doesn't matter, but it isn't a skill issue imo

#

top arms warrior apparently takes off merciless bonegrinder to take SKS

jovial hare
#

bruh

#

i mean colo does enough aoe dmg even w/o considering mbg so i guess having some prio/boss dmg makes sense

lofty pulsar
#

that's honestly fair

#

and the lil burst only happens with ravager which is like

#

130 or 2 minutes or some

spiral coral
#

Coming back Iโ€™ve been playing sks

lofty pulsar
#

and i feel like its never that many cleaves during ravager but im probably playing incorrectly

jovial hare
#

i feel like ms resets during ravager compete for a lot of ur attn

#

not really always getting a lot of value

rare helm
#

i feel like im doing soemthing wrong. is this breakdown roughly correct for m+?

wind hatch
#

Ideally your rend uptime should be a bit higher but everything else looks ok

lofty pulsar
#

Okay so gigastupid question here, but whatโ€™s the best way to kick if Iโ€™m bad at the game? Focus target/kick focus?

slow saddle
#

Mouse over?

#

I usually use my stun, gives.me time to target it๐Ÿ˜…

#

Also bad at game

urban citrus
#

Is there no visual indicator for fatality?

#

I cant see the debuff on the enemy mobs for some reason

and tab to casters

meager gull
#

hi stupid question: does the thunderclap talent apply the instant damage of rend too or just the dot?

safe oracle
#

Just the dot

meager gull
#

is it only worth using in like m+ then?

nova marsh
#

But tbh if youre in keys you can save the keybind by not using rend

#

The damage difference between the two is tiny

meager gull
#

nice thanks

halcyon valve
#

+1 parse on mythic nexus king wicked

lofty pulsar
#

is storm of swords just objectively bad?

#

pretty sure its cause we're never rage starved right?

minor gust
#

its a very bad talent no matter the rage situation

slow saddle
#

Storm of swords should give an ECHO effect

#

of dmg instead

halcyon valve
#

Storm of swords could be something like โ€žcleave/whirlwind increases its damage by 10% for 12 seconds.โ€œ and every stack falls of independently

slow saddle
#

Dear blizzard

#

plz just give me

#

rend to all targets now

#

why do i have to wait, its such a qol i want now

#

or just let clap clap all idc

#

i want to clap once all have rend and do aoe

grave mulch
slow saddle
#

atm its nothing

#

in Midnight its frontal like cleave

untold trench
#

Rend splash is a frontal cleave in Midnight? Well, that is a neat way to make it wonky for no reason

dim basalt
#

Just says any enemies within 8y

untold trench
#

That be why I was wondering, and taken a bit by suprise

dim basalt
#

Id be surprised if they made it a frontal tbh

#

Surely they have better things to work on

# bright whale Is there an Single Button Assist build for arms ?

if you are looking for a more serious answer, bear in mind the SBRA doesn't use some of our major cooldowns for you, so you'll have to cast them yourself, namely Avatar and Sweeping Strikes. If you're truly chasing an SBRA build, where you don't manage anything else, you could drop those talents and move them elsewhere, but it's a tremendous DPS loss to do so, and I genuinely wouldn't recommend it. The SBRA is already a big loss, and you can bind Avatar into the cast if you really wanted ๐Ÿ˜…

Could macro with SBA

with avatar and sweeping strikes

#

Haven't been runnin Netherprism in keys, didn't notice it was a thing until today. I run Idol. Anyone running it think its worth a Dinar?

void bay
vast cedar
#

Yeah, they'll send 40+ mil on lust packs, i dont ramp that high.

void bay
#

Yeah, that's netherprism + quiver stacked combo

vast cedar
#

All these good arms have it equipped. I dont know why i was even looking at high io gear... and was like damn, they're all running it. Probably a move i guess.

void bay
#

Its very strong if you stack it, at least on hunter. Problem is having short cds you want to use it with, but if you dont let it stack for a pack or 2 it doesnt do much

vast cedar
#

Well, i feel like our biggest opp as a class is the ST fall off, maybe having it stacked up for lust bosses/long bosses it might be really clutch.

#

and huge pulls obv

void bay
#

If I get lust and have 18 stack prism and 7 stack quiver i can do 12million ST for like 20 secs, depending on black arrow procs

#

and yeah on big pulls its easy to do 40million

#

but i dont have it on my warrior so idk how well it scales

vast cedar
#

Think i'll send. It makes sense. Plus the guys ahead of me are using it. Knights dieing faster, shards mobs like those.

void bay
#

Makes sense ๐Ÿซก

My stats are currently nearly perfectly balanced
35% crit, 35% haste, 32% mastery

so as arms this season. do you only press execute when the WA yells at you?

is this rotation up to date? just curious since fury roar is basically shid in ST

Should be fine

#

Like u anyway press it before bursts and stuff

we late into expansion time to experiment with the forgotten spec

Robot doesnt charge weave so...

What a dumbass

thick kelp
#

I could make it charge wave tho...

dim basalt
#

Does that actually work?

#

Wouldnt you have to overwrite Charge or so to remove the min distance?

thick kelp
#

I can just tell it to walk out of melee and charge back in if situation is X

#

like low rage etc

#

or say the new charge weave talent buff duration is 0

ikr

#

i feel bad

#

but man i just wanna meme some 17-18s as arms

gaunt owl
#

no need to feel bad

#

as long as you back it up people will be like w/e

minor gust
#

Doing 17s and 18s this late into the tier when we're max gear ain't really a meme to play arms

#

Can play any spec at that key level this far in

slow saddle
#

Yeye, but also it is a bit vs being fury

#

The boss dmg difference is just to big

minor gust
#

Not enough of a difference you can't time a 18 with so who cares just go show the world that demolish fucks

slow saddle
#

๐Ÿ˜„ true true

#

i mean it is when u are playing with pugs that are also bad

#

coz no i cant carry as much

minor gust
#

True but your EU right you. EU pugs 100x better than NA

dim basalt
#

How so

latent moss
#

eu > na anyway

slow saddle
#

so i would say yes

dim basalt
#

Wait the cutoff is 50 points higher in EU wtf

#

Expected like 10-20

minor gust
#

NA especially this season keys have been dead

#

I realized this when I was trying to pug 16s on the second week and there was only ever like 2-3 16s in que at a time

#

Then opened up Biz's stream to see like over 10 on EU

dim basalt
#

Gonna change with console soon /s

minor gust
#

Nah it won't.

thick kelp
#

they wont have the mental capacity to ding max level

minor gust
#

I doubt well get even that many console players to begin with because it's not like wow is coming to console it's windows coming to the new xbox

#

So that means a console player would have to buy the next xbox

#

Takes like a year or two after a new console releases for most people to have one xd

Blizzard are really stupid. In midnight Anger Management finally reduce both Avatar and Colossus to synchro the cd. BUT Heroic strike reduce only Colossus cd

#

AM needs to die

earnest zealot
#

What's the idea behind the Sks build? Sks main target on CD and cleave the rest? (main prot, yoink'd a weapon, considering playing arms for fun)

slow saddle
#

The "idea" is keepin up the bleed buffs and send sks on big target y

misty bridge
slow saddle
#

nah

#

if u get cs Less often it can be more impactfull

#

and cds dont ever misalign

#

unless u missplay

Why not 30s like Ret okayge

like i send if i can

but dont rly bother unless i got shout on mobs as well

cleave just fucks ๐Ÿ˜„

balmy kindle
#

I have tried it a few times and gotten like 3-5% more boss damage maybe on average, but in aoe it's quite a dead button

misty bridge
#

You just sent it on mobs with the highest HP whenever you have cs up

spiral coral

sks is weird and awkward and Iโ€™m kinda mad I havenโ€™t been able to ever get used to it. Not missing it though. Clunky ass button.

shadow ibex
#

Sks prio is cope

minor gust
#

Just press the button it ain't hard. Or don't talent it

slow saddle
#

Yup

#

Its good in keys imho

Is Netherprism worth using over Idol in 17-18 keys, and if so, how are people using it?

#

It's not

#

But feel free to use it if you want to

ok, thought I was missing something, seems like more hassle than it's worth

I saw the chinese arms doing 20+ keys is using it so must be worthwhile

how do i stop overflowing with rage? this is not enough to stay < 90 for overpower

minor gust

rage isnt real

#

dont worry about it and follow the priority

gleaming kraken
#

whereabouts have y'all be using stone idol in youre openers

balmy kindle
#

You can use it with avatar since it costs a GCD

slow saddle
#

Wth

#

did something happen to gambit 1st boss

#

his field on floor

#

sudddenly one shot me in a 17 ?_?

#

i did me 20m dmg ?

urban citrus
#

i kinda wish heroic strike just permanently replaced slam

#

and cost more rage in exchange for more dmg

minor gust
#

Then Heroic strike wouldn't be fun

#

The proc is what makes it enjoyable

urban citrus
#

slam is just this button that you wish u never had to press

minor gust
#

Heroic strike would be the same then

#

Why do you want heroic strike to be bad like slam

urban citrus
#

maybe heroic strike procs will fill the "downtime" when MS/OP/execute are on CD

minor gust
#

Besides slams not even bad anymore. It's much better in midnight

urban citrus
#

ah thats cool

#

i didnt like all of the midnight changes, but arms looks really good actually

#

surprisingly so

balmy kindle
slow saddle
#

yes

#

20m

urban citrus
#

kinda wish they brought back condemn tho as a capstone talent

slow saddle
#

just the shit on the floor

#

20m ?

#

since when

urban citrus
#

question, why do people hate avatar?

#

it seems pretty harmless, other than the fact anger management doesnt reduce its CD like bladestorm

slow saddle
#

because it does noting

urban citrus
#

so you cant macro them together

#

i mean, its just a dmg CD

slow saddle
#

nah

#

its a Multiplier

#

if u dont know u dont know

balmy kindle
slow saddle
#

thats shit on floor ?

#

but 20m ?

urban citrus
#

i confess i dont know

slow saddle
#

ive swear ive been able to survive 1 tick

urban citrus
#

so i cant understand the issue

slow saddle
#

so its 20% yes

#

but so is CS

balmy kindle
#

Yeap they shred like really hard but I am not sure how you got 20m keks

slow saddle
#

thats my point

#

like there has to be a bug with update ?

#

?:D

urban citrus
#

IMO just put avatar on anger management

slow saddle
#

nah

#

it is

#

also

urban citrus
#

that way you can just macro avatar and bladestorm no?

slow saddle
#

no

#

am needs to die

urban citrus
#

why not?

slow saddle
#

i want CS to be 30sec Avatar gone

#

and we are a 30 sec class

#

or u make avatar stronger and 1.5m

urban citrus
#

spiteful serenity seems kinda bad tho

slow saddle
#

its more it muddles CDR m8

#

consider this

#

u wanna align CS + avatar

#
  • bladestorm // demolish
#

now u always hold something for something

urban citrus
#

oh i play slayer

slow saddle
#

feels bad

#

doesnt matter its bladestorm next tier then

urban citrus
#

i donno demolish feels... weird

slow saddle
#

demolish feels fucking great

balmy kindle
#

Big numbers

urban citrus
#

its pretty much an ability you cast, in melee

slow saddle
#

if u didnt have to wait for CDR

balmy kindle
#

Dopamine rush

urban citrus
#

but you cant move while using it

slow saddle
#

m8

#

i dont more around like an idiot

#

ever second anyways

#

do u ?

urban citrus
#

um

#

yes

slow saddle
#

#doubt

urban citrus
#

thats why i play slayer

#

and executioners precision

#

lol

slow saddle
#

its like everything else, if u dont know what mobs do

#

u may be caught in shit

#

if not, u are perfectly fine

#

and it dunks mobs

urban citrus
#

but i dont wanna be caught in shit and i donno what mobs do

slow saddle
#

so u play slayer its fine

urban citrus
#

i hate thingie till it stops moving

slow saddle
#

also

urban citrus
#

yay

slow saddle
#

bladestorm

#

kills u the same way

#

u cant move out of half the shit while bladestorming either

#

๐Ÿ˜„

balmy kindle
#

But slayer arms not good sadge

slow saddle
#

its worse than not good

urban citrus
#

at least you can sort of move in bladestorm

slow saddle
#

its BAD

urban citrus
#

just slower

slow saddle
#

u can leap

#

in demolish

#

so i mean

#

ya comment is void

urban citrus
#

yeah thats why i play remix

#

since u can literally go for any build

#

and it will work

slow saddle
#

i mean if u dont play any competitive content

balmy kindle
#

keks I mean in remix I am just perma prot

slow saddle
#

u do u

#

no1 cares

urban citrus
#

slayer is kinda cool with executioners precision

#

and then you get the talent that lets u do MS in BS

#

and deliver a fat MS in the end

balmy kindle
#

Yeah but arms slayer just very underwhelming

urban citrus
#

its lower dmg im aware

balmy kindle
#

There's a good reason why most guys are playing fury in retail this season

urban citrus
#

im a degenerate i enjoy reckless abandon

balmy kindle
#

Unfort for you since RA not a thing after s1keks

urban citrus
#

it still exists, its just stupid how its implemented

#

it shouldnt be tied to recklessness

#

S1 implementation was perfect

#

why change it?

#

the rotation makes NO sense with RA

#

like, you want to use rampage to spend fury, but it means youre NOT using the empowered attacks

#

im positive blizzard doesnt play this talent

balmy kindle
#

Honestly idk why blizz did the changes they did clueless

urban citrus
#

you could write a research paper about how they think

#

its truly a psychological marvel

slow saddle
#

i always prefered RA over AM

#

when it worked

#

Stronger CDs more seldomly greater for raid

balmy kindle
#

RA is alot easier to pilot as well imo

# balmy kindle But irl performance though<:monkahmm:1382590600439664751>

I don't push keys, mostly just 12-13s for weekly and it's perfectly fine and fun. It's hard to tell which does more between slarms and col at this level as Tank pulls make a bigger diff. It's definitely more prio and boss damage on ST fights where most pug tanks don't bring thrash in. Most thrash at that level doesn't live long enough for col to noticeably pull ahead either. Here's a key I found that was logged as slarms:

Looking at the first pull of a 12 streets he did a few days ago, a few things are apparent. He casts demolish before building any colossal might stacks or applying deep wounds to any mobs. He is also casting mortal strike when he has cleave up. Cleave pretty much always takes precedence over mortal strike in AOE. He's also casting thunder clap more often than he should. Thunder clap is only really used to reapply rend or as a filler in aoe when you have absolutely nothing else up.

azure bear
#

Noted; demolish before colossal might stacks; thats worth building even on first pull?

wind hatch
#

Yes, having 10 colossal might stacks will double the damage of your demolish, and you're able to build those stacks before your cooldowns fall off so it's very worth it

spiral coral
#

would be more focused on getting it off in wb window and staying on top of getting CDs off and staying strictly on top of prio for a new player

I just played a key as arms for a long time again just for fun to fill up vault. Man i like arms gameplay so much. Wish single target damage was like it is on fury and i wouldt play fury anymore...

4p

80% bleed dmg

I cant seem to get ara kara, as easily. Rly a place so much better suited for furu

wind hatch
slow saddle
#

Doesnt apply 4p

80% more bleed dmg

M8 u still send cleave asap, it was more if both are rdy, ill send ms to get 4pcback if huge pack and my full bleeds are up

Usually its just up

wind hatch

Oh yeah I didnt realize u were talking about the 4 piece effect itself, ur right about that but I wanted to focus my advice on more fundamental things like the basic rotation over relatively minor optimizations

azure bear

I means arms isnt meta, and in low keys its horrid๐Ÿคฃ

Best advice go fury๐Ÿคฃ

azure bear
#

this

#

is not good advice!

dim basalt

Its not, but prob the better thing to do

#

Arms has a bunch of minmaxing stuff which just takes a lot of practice to do right

Whereas fury is as simple as fdk

Realistically with how strong our toons are , probably can do 20s as long as your group Comp is not terrible and specs have some synergy

Ok but they can still implement their own?

And there is no reason not to

time for the ffxiv method and use 3rd party programs

slow saddle
#

Thats ban though

dim basalt
#

However MDI players dont really need any of that, at least not much

#

They run every dungeon so often they can play them without any comms

Its completely scripted through

slow saddle

warped spade
# slow saddle Unless i misunderstood y. Combat trackin

From my understanding they don't mind some of the personal/group combat tracking as long as decision making is still solved by players. They said they really don't want addons to add combat functionalities to default ui but instead beautify/complement it. Which is why if you think there's a feature an addon was solving that was nice or needed (e.g. accessibility) you need to ask blizz to add the feature to default ui, not complain about an addon not working anymore.

spiral coral
#

my only complaint is plater likely dying

#

and if nameplates suck, im out

warped spade
spiral coral
#

maybe im just misunderstanding your wording but I just know add ons wont be able to read anything combat because blizzard is making all the values hidden

warped spade
#

Cooldown tracking could be a thing they end up including too

#

As long as the default ui can do it

dire hinge
#

it's all speculative right now, but currently you can't even remake the existing cooldown manager with the API available

#

i definitely want to have that information unblocked again, but until they actually take that action there is going to be a large gap left in its wake between what you want to track, and what's available to track

#

or rather: how you want to track it

warped spade
#

Ya I'm not saying anything is set in stone but there is a world where we could see something like a kick tracker. All secret values, made by blizz and reskinned by plater

spiral coral
#

I'm just going off of what the WA director said. When he said they're closing up shop due to not being able to see any combat values whatsoever. So, anything that needs to read any combat script at all from my understanding is RIP

slow saddle
#

or 6 seconds to dynamite

#

or u are being targeted by this spell press defensive

#

in a pull with 10-15 mobs no way u can keep track of this without a wa

spiral coral
#

was going through my (small) add on list to see which ones would make it to midnight as it sits. It's two.

warped spade
spiral coral
#

there's going to be some ppl that will have to almost relearn how to play. some ppl play on fucking spaceship uis with 30+ add ons they dont need

warped spade
#

But if something is missing from the default could be added.

dire hinge
#

of course

spiral coral
#

I'm hopeful for blizzard to make good in game stuff

#

just i dunno how much pain will be inflicted first before its good lol

#

like the cd manager we have now is ok

#

gives me promise

warped spade
#

(I know they removed it thankfully) There could be an execute tracker for juggernaut, made by blizz. If it's something not tracked that needs to be tracked

slow saddle
#

i mean OP procs

#

might be needed to track again

warped spade
#

Yes

spiral coral
#

that would just be

#

insane if they did that lmfao

slow saddle
#

i mean, as said, that should the include mobs casting random shit on u

#

that does stupid amounts of dmg

#

again dynamite in floodgate

spiral coral
#

"hey we sucked at this design so heres a in game add on for it that we made instead of fixing it"

slow saddle
#

im only in like a 17-18 range

spiral coral
#

looool

slow saddle
#

but like ppl are gettin killed if they get hit by the 2 at once

warped spade
dire hinge
#

WAs do have a power advantage, totally acknowledge that.
They are also an Accessibility tool that has make the game more available to players who need information displayed in a different manner for their brains. This removal also kicks out the legs of a tool that has historically made their game accessible.

Case in point: tracking jugg manually is another spinning plate that folks with cognitive issues may have issues managing atop the 19 other spining plates and flashing icons. You could put jug timer on your execute before, can't now. Hopefully they redesign classes to not need such things, and hopefully they add some sort of advanced customizability in the future. But they don't have it now, and there will be so many widowed issues created soon.

warped spade
#

Unfortunately, there were some casualties especially in regards to accessibility stuff. And they said they would try to implement as much as they can themselves in that regard

dire hinge
#

their UI team is pretty small and working their butts off, i hope they can get time and space to prioritize a11y stuff soon

#

if they want to make the game more player friendly, a11y stuff impacts the whole player stack

warped spade
dim basalt
#

From a dev pov blocking everything and then rolling back slowly is much easier

#

Like, a lot

dire hinge
#

for sure, im a dev as well, it's just not human-focused, much like most dev.

#

it's easier on DevX and faster to accomplish, usually at the price of UX/CX in the itterim

#

it's unfortunate that WoW doesn't have some sort of scheduled release cycle they could implement changes around shrug

dim basalt
#

mhm

#

There would be a lot less dooming if that existed

warped spade
#

Alpha's are also usually not "public". They kinda have to allow streaming, there'd be leaks and less people trying things

dim basalt
#

Im aware people would doom nonetheless Hrothmar keks

#

But with some kind of schedule people would know when to expect what

#

Taking the entire dps meter stuff for example, people were dooming so hard because they didnt know when they would release feature x

#

I think that doesnt even matter in a closed alpha but eh

warped spade
#

But that's a "class change" now that we have to wait for.

warped spade
warped spade
#

They could make a client side one that works just like details;off the combat log

dim basalt
#

Im not sure how much performance that eats tbh

#

Like its constant I/O but it shouldnt be that bad

warped spade
#

Ya and then extra network load. Also depends how often they update

dim basalt
#

But if I learned something over the years then its that most people have a really bad pc so they take anything lol

#

The network load is whatever, its all gRPC anyway

#

If anything its worse for them due to cost

#

And we should be glad they dont throw some kind of kernel-level anti-cheat on us keks

warped spade
#

Idk, their server seems to suffer when a lot of damage events are happening

#

One of the reasons old stampede was reworked after mop

dim basalt
#

Yeah but doing the calculations server-side shouldnt change anything at all

warped spade
#

5 hunters in a 25 man raid would brick the servers on pull

dim basalt
#

Pretty sure similar events were happening anyway

#

And lags are mostly infrastructure problems

#

Less the servers themselves

Servers are infrastructure

#

A web server is just software

#

It does not have to be related to web pages at all

void bay
#

Then it wouldnt be a web server

dim basalt
#

Game servers are just web servers that use the gRPC protocol

#

For most stuff

#

Or websockets, whatever

#

Not sure why you think that its any related to web pages

#

When often frontend and backend are entirely split

#

Its just some software that deals with data and thats it, thats the definition

void bay
#

Ok, when im designing large scale enterprise systems and we use "web server" to delineate the set of components and hardware that mostly give a front end to users in a browser and usually communicate using http, I will bear that in mind. Thanks ๐Ÿ‘

Oh, and not everyone uses gRPC, its not been around that long.

Arms is 95% muscle memory imo

Arms rarely plays around mechanics and just keeps doing the same thing over and over

A lot of specs tend to hold (small) cds for certain mechanics or do some shenanigans

We almost never do that

Cuz our cds are so worthless

So getting used to encounters takes a lot less time too

I played WW this tier and had to think about things I never had to think about the past 2 tiers as Arms dunno

#

Not just cds but also defensives because warrior is pretty tanky

I have a more generic question as someone who played a shitton of warrior for years but very little in DF / TWW.

What's the communities general reaction on rend and especially the tclap interaction with it. As someone getting back into the class it just seems so wonky / over engineered.

I know in Midnight they're consolidating it a bit but man it just feels out of place to me.
