Where is MoP classic progress wise

stable fiber
#

procs are very fun to play around so yeah

stable fiber
#

we have the mid ass enrage tier set

thorn stream
olive nest
#

Ahh so still time to bandwagon for SoO

#

Perfect

stable fiber
#

i dont know if its making it to SoO at this rate

olive nest
#

Pretty down bad?

stable fiber
#

well it probably will but past that its cooked

olive nest
#

I do not follow classic what so ever

stable fiber
#

player base is dying because ToT has been bugged for 3 months now and they havent bothered to even fix a single bug

olive nest
#

The re released version is bugged??

thorn stream
#

based

stable fiber
#

lei shen's main mechanic of charging the pylons has been gotten around by just taunting the boss out of the pylon then back in

#

a (classic) rwf guild lost the race because they wiped on durumu 4 times to a bug

olive nest
#

Ooo yeah they’re upset

stable fiber
#

and only ended up being like 5 mins behind the winner

#

they disbanded because of it

stable fiber
olive nest
#

At least they fixed the bug that added slight dps gains

#

Game wouldn’t feel right with that unfair advantage

stable fiber
olive nest
#

Ahh yes mage

#

Ions blessed child

bleak arrow
#

Mages need to be good because they only have 3 DPS specs

shadow ibex
#

If you don't have to keep in back of your head 30 rage to afford good button

#

Thats not an arms spec thats an abomination

stable fiber
#

"good button"

#

is the current iteration of arms in a good state right now?

#

damage or gameplay wise

shadow ibex
#

The answer to that has been no for almost a decade

#

With some exceptions like df s1 or bfa s4

stable fiber
#

i think arms has had some good iterations, i liked s2 tww raid and found s3 df m+ to be fun

shadow ibex
#

You only liked tww s2 those few times you carried a max jug through the fight

#

I say that as respectful as possible but cmon that shit was rough

stable fiber
#

im not going to lie my view on jugg has changed a lot

shadow ibex
#

S2 was great when boss is at 37%, i got 2 mfe and an sd charge and 15 stacks

#

Aka I know for sure this shit is not falling off

#

Progging fights under jugg was just anti fun. Viewing every fight through lense of "but how will it affect this buff uptime"

chilly apex
#

Question I guess - is Arms just Fubared right now? Seems Rage Starved - like its missing a Skill to use during the rotation.

#

like Pew Pew Pew ... nothing to do ........ Pew PEw

stable fiber
#

there are a lot of ways to fix it

fresh spire
#

You wouldn't have a safe path in the maze on occasion

#

Fucking dogass

#

Or the animation was desynced

stable fiber
fresh spire
stable fiber
#

you know how you need to light the adds up with certain lights

#

its a lengthy list of bugs haha

fresh spire
#

Hahahah

shadow ibex
#

I miss that fight on lfr

#

6 pll alive, 1 tank 3 dps and some heals

#

And killing boss from 33% to 0

stable fiber
#

you could light them up, and they disappear randomly (fixed)
you could light them up and instantly wipe (fixed)
randomly some of them will be lit up without the light on them and wipe (not fixed)

#

the maze bug can still happen

shadow ibex
#

I did anima once on current as a 10 man heroic guild and never did it again

#

Went to 25 man after that bullshit

stable fiber
#

we have healers heal in a corner with warrior aoe taunt banner down next to them, die by the sword and cleave them down

#

the rwf had the "light them up and instantly wipe" bug happen to them like 3x in a row

shadow ibex
#

What was that ability that put shit under your feet

#

Is it anima font

stable fiber
#

yes

shadow ibex
#

Lmao how do I remember that

stable fiber
#

ill remember it forever cause we have like

shadow ibex
#

Jesus fuck that fight

stable fiber
#

12 melee

shadow ibex
#

I def have ptsd

stable fiber
#

oh this happened to my guild a couple of times but we would get the ice wall hp to 0 but they wouldnt actually go away

#

lmao

#

what do you guys think should be the fix for arms lack of ST damage playing colossus? or even slayer

spiral coral
#

Tier set

sick thorn
#

Aura boost 20% and more rage generate

halcyon valve
#

Mortal strike buff

sick thorn
#

Before the nerf i was able to do 60k crit mortal strike now i barely get 30

minor gust
#

Showing it off again I see

#

Passive SS AOE execute

boreal bay
#

rage generation is definetly SHIT doing ST, like I feel sometimes I'm just looking at the screen waiting for a swing to be able to do something

#

not sure if an aura boost is needed, aoe wasnt that bad was it? or at least I havent felt it doing keys these days (pre patch not beta)

#

also having slam higher than MS in damage is just disrespectful

minor gust
#

Cleave needs to be nerfed and they just add a fat aura buff and call it a day and arms will be fine

gentle gyro
#

We need more nerfs

fallen elbow
#

god wtf is arms now ik the last time I played it was s4 df with double bladestorm but just did a key, the ST is legit making me sleepy

#

also how tf is this qualify as a capstone talent?

minor gust
#

Used to be 10%

wooden lava
#

Are our apex talents insane or smth?

bleak arrow
echo nimbus
#

I feel like they legitimately just don't know what to do with arms.
Kinda seemed like they were going for a rework when we first started seeing Midnight Development notes, but then they suddenly reversed course and reverted us to a shitter version of the legion arms we've had for a decade.

bleak arrow
#

As someone that’s been a fury bro giving arms a try finally has been weird… it seems, odd.

echo nimbus
#

Shit man, I'm sorry. You picked a terrible time imo

wooden lava
#

It's an inferior spec in every way, I'm afraid

#

Used to be, arms had more depth

#

Now it's shallow AND bad

rare kite
shadow ibex
#

i dont think a single person wanted ravager back

#

blizzard just kept MBG in and under BS so colossus had 0 access to it

#

then they decided merge ravager and MBG and keep it 90 seconds unaffected by AM with 0 rage and unhinged locked behind slayer

#

frankly the previous situation was better because at least ravager was affected by AM and not just a weird 90 second cooldown you use to boost 4 cleaves

thick hamlet
frank willow
#

Can someone explain to me what data blizzard is getting for these arms changes? The testing I’ve done with arms on beta has it already doing tank damage in single target, cleave is the only thing it’s good at and it’s not even close to the best.

What the fuck could this second round of nerfs possibly be coming from

gentle gyro
frank willow
#

Where is the data they’re getting coming from? Are they cracked in raid or something

gentle gyro
#

AI balance team btw

#

Chat GPT knows ball

frank willow
#

I feel like chatgpt couldn’t fuck this up

jovial hare
frank willow
#

The WW and arms changes are some of the most confusingly bad changes I’ve ever seen them make and I’m not a doomer. They’re so bad I’m convinced they were a mistake

dire hinge
#

🔮 literally anybody's guess

jovial hare
#

hrothmar with the logical take
I don't want sense
I want to be ANGRY

dire hinge
#

instead of being angry im just gonna get good ¯_(ツ)_/¯

shadow ibex
#

hopefully they arent using raid pefomance because fights are lasting 90 seconds

jovial hare
#

fuck he's got two of em in a row

#

im prob just not gonna play arms unfortunately sadge

dire hinge
#

swapping to fury is free if you really think balance like this matters for your team (it doesn't for 99% of players). This isn't uncommon for arms to see, and we usually get retuned after a bit. This is just how WoW is.

#

but yes, i agree arms is in a very strange spot and it doesn't make much sense. I highly encourage folks share their feedback with Blizz, but don't go breaking the Player Agreement over it

Hi all! I'll be leveling a war for midnight, likely for guild tank, with alt dps depending on what's needed that night. Right now, I understand arms is ... in a rough spot. Logs habe them ... pretty low right now. SHOULD I LEVEL AS ARMS though, since I'd only need to upgrade 1 weapon at a time? Or, which war spec should I level as?

bleak arrow
#

this is bait, no tank gets out of purgatory

dire hinge
#

either is fine!

teal island
# bleak arrow this is bait, no tank gets out of purgatory

well, I got DH, Druid, DK, and Warr all geared up ready to tank depending on the random nerf bats. 🙂 BUT. Into the patch, raw dps or "control" (DH) matter more than raw survivability. START of an expansion, while gear is more borderline, survivability is relatively more important, and war tends to be best survivor with lower gear.

dire hinge
#

Usually fury will be more strong in the survival department thanks to their 2x 2Handed weapons (bonus stamina) and passive healing from bloodthirst

#

arms is still perfectly fine though for survivability.

dim basalt
#

(unless youre playing monk or non-frost mage I guess)

#

And tanks are always very chill, doesnt matter what season

frank willow
dim basalt
#

Theres no way brew wont get nerfed though

frank willow
#

It's not the hardest tank season ever but there are a few pulls in a few dungeons where brew is just hte only thing that reliably survives

#

Maybe it does but as of right now there is absolutely 0 reason to play anything that isn't brew

#

outside of just playing something you like

#

assuming you want to play the game at the highest and most competitive level

dim basalt
#

If youre pushing bleeding edge, sure

frank willow
#

Brew is the only optiojn

spiral coral
#

I’m cheering for them to be cranked

#

They deserve it

dim basalt
#

Brew feels so weird to play after pruning

#

It really needed that but idk

spiral coral
dim basalt
#

Also afaik prot war is also not bad, just doesnt do much damage

#

It do be like that with ai generated patch notes

#

Best tank gets buffs, prot war who doesnt do damage gets nerfed

grizzled falcon
#

mfw it finally leaks that they just feed numbers into an LLM and change whatever it spits back

dim basalt
#

tbh even an LLM would know better

grizzled falcon

Would love to see the prompt for it.

# sacred zodiac its prepatch why care

and does it justify it? also since playing vanilla i have seen this pattern for 21 years now? it usually does not bode well. %3 aura buff will not fix anything.

rare kite
#

i mean % aura buff will literally fix damage. % rage gen increase would be the best tho

3% aura buff have fixed a lot of things

Does blizzard not know what underperforming means or what

stiff sorrel
#

Give them a moment, math is hard

gentle gyro
#

Gotta love that ChatGPT class balancing

vast helm
foggy quiver
#

It’s not like we have some testing servers with full set and trinkets to test how specs are doing, imagine if we had something like that

stiff sorrel
#

Their idea of math is as the following scenario: ⬇️

"Enemy movement detected in the east."
Removing the east.

foggy quiver
#

But again, I will say it once more, they can aura buff anytime the spec and be totally fine dmgwise, the gameplay on the other won’t change and it’s totally broken

stiff sorrel
#

Wish they'd allow ulterior influences to reach them. Things could be good, but I'm beginning to think they have an entirely different plan XD

slender sonnet
#

If it's that bad, where does fury stack up atleast

stiff sorrel
#

All I know is that if dps and convenience were water, both of my mains are about to die from dehydration

thorn stream
gentle gyro
#

It's funny cause even if it's gonna be a B- spec one day, people will freak out and will call it a completely overtuned spec

#

God forbid it's in a demand one day

stiff sorrel
#

Im not a very picky person, every class is viable for content that I do. Except maybe rogues and evokers, I feel like a plane crash trying to play those classes.

Ive never felt like any class I've played were undertuned or overtuned unless it was nerfed/buffed into obsolescence.

slender sonnet
#

DF S4 arms tuning my beloved

fallen elbow
#

What if blizzard reworks arms into barbarian from d4 hmmmm would that be better?

austere solar
#

Paladin Discord go into "strike mod" to complain. It seems it worked for them. May be the Arms warrior union should do the same.

fallen elbow
austere solar
#

I'm voting for a Skyhold general strike to denounce unfair arms treatment.

slender sonnet
#

The only arms tuning I'll accept

austere solar
#

Give me a U, a N, a I, O, N... UNION...Yeaaaahhh

untold pewter
austere solar
#

That's why they keep nerfing war. They want to see how much you can endure before being broked😄

untold pewter
#

Anger Management is our literal class fantasy

When Arms is "weak" we outplay the tuning and still beat the "better" specs, it has always happened

We always get some tuning in the end anyway

austere solar
#

Yeah true... And we like to enlist one our to find a m+ dungeon for that.

untold pewter
#

Damn right, can't be denied out of your own key

minor gust
austere solar
#

Yup only way to do m+ as war is to do your own key. Not sure if it will work for live midnight.

untold pewter
#

Never stopped us before, won't be different this time

dim basalt
#

AM fucking sucks

minor gust
#

nah AM owns the problem is the other sources of cdr

untold pewter
#

Nah I dig AM I just wish other shit either didn't have different cdr or was also affected by it

minor gust
#

that fucks everything up

untold pewter
#

There it is

dim basalt
#

Id rather have normal cds and AM be reworked to work with abilities like MS

#

So it can actually hit like a truck

minor gust
#

I mean

dim basalt
#

Also makes it easier for CS to have interactions

minor gust
#

if your getting more casts of MS naturally its not gonna hit likea truck

dim basalt
#

Depends on the cd

#

But for that kind of thing to work we would need a complete overhaul (which we need anyway)

minor gust
#

CS can have interactions with AM its been done many times

#

currently have a few right now even if a certain one is piss

#

15 rage

dim basalt
#

Blizz should start with giving us an identity first

#

Like why do the other specs have DW

foggy quiver
minor gust
#

idk im always a big fan of CDR gameplay its nice having your cds feel flexible

dim basalt
#

Its fake flexibility most of the time

minor gust
#

ehh

dim basalt
#

In the end you have to plan it anyway

minor gust
#

not always

dim basalt
#

And the more often you can use your cds the weaker it needs to be unless the baseline is really damn bad

minor gust
#

plenty of times in encounters your cds only come back for moments like add spawns thanks to that cdr

#

knowing when to force rage spend purely to make a timing too feels good

foggy quiver
#

There’s a point were they stop feeling like CDs and more like core skills with some cd

dim basalt
#

If only we were good on add spawns though

minor gust
#

but thats mostly fury that gets that opportunity

minor gust
dim basalt
#

ik

thorn stream
minor gust
#

depends what ur playing at the time too arms stuck in bladestorm usually isnt much but if demolish is hitting hard thats a feels good

foggy quiver
#

For example bloodthrist has a cd and war breaker has a cd, which one is core and which one a cd? Im not sure at this point cause bloodthirst hits like a truck right now

tight wing

I enjoy spinning way too much to give up blade storm lol

gaunt owl

you spin the camera while spinning ?

i see

but BS should still hit harder

dim basalt
#

But yeah BS hitting harder would be nice

minor gust
#

3.5%

dim basalt
#

Yeah closest we ever got in TWW was 5% iirc

#

But 3.5% is technically still a lot

#

Might play it on farm though

thorn stream
#

demolish and cs line up in ST monkahmm

minor gust
#

eh

foggy quiver
#

It would be very oppressive in raids then, needs to do the same dmg but less challenging time imo, a lot of afking while channel it

minor gust
#

3.5% is not bad at all def in the realm of play it if u wanna play it

dim basalt
#

Still big in my world

minor gust
#

if you had 2 arms on prog 1 slayer and 1 colo guarantee they will just be rotating whos ontop due to rng

#

Sims are just averages at the end of the day

dim basalt
#

Also assuming that Arms does get buffs before season start the chance of it being Slayer favored is quite high

minor gust
#

well if its just aura buffs from here on out

#

they both will be buffed the same

dim basalt
tight wing
#

oooh yeah raidbots is the sim most use right? I should sim my build

minor gust
foggy quiver
#

I don’t know guys sometimes I think blizz devs are making their lives difficult without a reason, it should be more easy imo to make a spec cool and interesting

tight wing
minor gust
foggy quiver
#

That’s why imo it’s easier too, make arms for example a two target execute beast, there you have it, right now we are losing in two target content from everyone, not to mention the joke our execute is, fury is miles better in execute

minor gust
#

its very clear when you got a dev or two thats really into a class someone got hired who just loves DK

minor gust
#

basically

foggy quiver
#

In DF mistweaver monk had a beast of a dev, so many interesting changes, it saved the spec cause it has been the worst healer for 2 expansions

minor gust
#

thats all it takes Is just one guy go man I really like this spec ima put a lot of my work time into it.

brisk vortex
#

Hi all, Sweeping Strikes Stacks - in prepatch is there an blizz cooldown manager aura to track this? If so, mine appears to be missing! Cheers.

minor gust
#

its a weird bug look for a dropdown menu in the bottom left corner of ur cooldown manager and change it to something else

thorn stream
#

btw is arms mastery still bugged on prepatch ? 🤔

fallen elbow
#

guys I might be new but what if they remove master tac for death blow = overpower/slam has a 20-30% chance to make your next mortal free and count as 2 stacks of exe precision?

#

could help with rage and dmg in st, what yall think?

austere solar
#

Find the solution for arms. We all switch fury as blizz want us to, but they allow us to hide second weapon with transmog so we can pretend being arms warrior with decent dps. I'm waiting your applause for this brilliant idea.

#

Blizz should hire me.

dim basalt
austere solar
#

Damn it. It sounds so blizz compatible.

dim basalt
#

So does hiring people and firing them shortly after keks

Which is looking like the better spec for ST next season? Or dont we know yet?

stable fiber

DK is a safe bet for sure yeah

#

The other classes are r*nged

stable fiber
#

Dk is like the only melee that is ever good

bleak arrow

Gotta stay arms so the devs have data surely they use the data we got make sure they get the data

dim basalt
#

yeah dunno about that

#

But they for sure had a long streak now

stable fiber
#

Well havoc DH too

dim basalt
#

Hasnt havoc been a buff bot for a while now?

stable fiber
#

Think the past couple seasons havoc has been pretty strong in raid and slightly weaker in m+ becsuse vdh is good also

stable fiber
#

Fury is usually the same but way weaker in m+

dim basalt
#

true

Ranged dps aka blizzards not bastard child.

#

how arms feel bout blizzard

Nah. Arms has been hurt too many times. Arms has given up on love. Arms wakes up, drinks his black coffee on the table from the night before and says “we still have the gym”

maybe doable already

shadow ibex

1rm is honestly 70% rest and mindset imo

If you're like 10/15 away

Other 20% proper stretch and warmup for it

just read the nerfs again before for the extra rage to push it up

Real

#

Idk what 85kg is in American but I just x2 kg to ballpark it and if you can do sets of 170 consistent through all reps 225 once should be on the table

30% increase is a lot but just one good rep

ye 225lb is 102kg, 4 plates
