nah

#

2 raid wide defensives, tank defensives in a expansion where tanks take damage on purpose, 2 raid wide buffs, aoe uncapped kick

#

a couple other things also

#

also skull banner just being the most broken thing ever

skull banner used on fights with damage amps and shit genuinely can do more damage then players in your raid

You're just doing no damage as an arms Warrior anymore

And you might compete with tanks on dps

Slayer arms is fun

gentle gyro
slow saddle
#

Nah slayer is fun

#

Just need wft

mortal niche
#

ngl always hated slayer so, it is what it is

slow saddle
#

Y but its way better

gentle gyro
#

I hated Col more

#

But slayer was so dog ass in S3 tww

#

I had no choice

slow saddle
#

Y

#

Col is fun though

#

But the nerf to demolish is a crime

mortal niche
#

shame I liked thane as a theme early on but just hate fury so never got to play it much

slow saddle
#

Thane wouldda been a good arms spec

mortal niche
#

slayer being +% damage across the board with no real change is zz

slow saddle
#

I mean reap?

#

Reap on sd is giga

gentle gyro
#

RNG gameplay is what we love right?

#

Especially with dog ass midnight Tactician

Sd on reap is 100%

hadnt actually looked at the apex and wow..heroic strike is finally coming back holy

gentle gyro

#

Not rly

gentle gyro
#

Alright

slow saddle
#

Its a decent ppm

#

So not like theres a big difference on a per pull basid

#

U can hold 2 charges as well

thorn stream
#

would make it a lot better

slow saddle
#

Yup

#

Or well make exe 20-30 rage

#

Reduce lets say 5 rage per a ability

thorn stream
#

or make smth generate rage in execute range (op ?)

slow saddle
#

Nah fam thats 2 easy

#

🤣

#

Coz atm with good op luck u sit at cap

#

But then hs proc into efe into hs proc

#

Also they could just make hs free

#

Adding an ability that costs rage as an apex talent( only in st) is just a crime

thorn stream
#

it is as criminal as the 4th point

#

so checks out

slow saddle
#

Truth

#

I mean issue should prio hs > all

#

If not, tuning is shit

#

Then addin hs requires rage

thorn stream
#

what if 4th point would make hs cost no rage ?

#

(increase its dmg by 10% anyway)

slow saddle
#

Tbh 20%

thorn stream
#

wouldnt really hurt in our state ye

#

im looking forward to give them the 3/4 apex undertuned arms data till 17th

#

(not that it will change a thing)

honestly blizzard is working on our attention span and patience damaged by youtube shorts

its a very zen class rightnow

Whats even the point of one button assistant when most classes are 3 button speca now, only two more to press lol

slow saddle
#

Arms isnt a 3 spec

torpid badge
#

Hurray!

slow saddle
#

We just a dead spec

torpid badge
#

Its a 3 damage spec

slow saddle
#

Yup

torpid badge
#

You do 3 damage

#

Bahahaha

slow saddle
#

Unless its aoe

#

Then u cleave like a god

#

Which is why any aura buff must include a buff to ms // exe // dw

#

Or a reverse of the nerf

inner wasp
#

what happened with deep wounds again

#

they gave it to fury then nerfed it?

#

does fury still have deep wounds

dim basalt
#

yes

#

All specs have it

inner wasp
#

it's tied to execute now innit

#

at least for fury

dim basalt
#

Yeah its the same for every spec pretty much

inner wasp
#

does ms not deep wound anymore?

dim basalt
#

Thats another capstone talent, MS / Cleave crits apply a DW that has a diff spell id

inner wasp
#

does that mean they stack

dim basalt
#

Nope

#

But this way they can be balanced seperately

inner wasp
#

ic

#

but they did give fury deep wounds and then nerf it right

#

in that order

dim basalt
#

They stack with themselves but not with each other, if you meant that

#

As in, DW applied by execute ignite, same with DW applied by MS, but MS does not ignite the DW by exe

inner wasp
#

wtf is ignite

dim basalt
#

Damage gets added on top

inner wasp
#

ic

thick kelp
#

mage spell

inner wasp
#

and do 0 damage

dim basalt
#

If you have a spell with 1k damage over 6 seconds and half the debuff is over you have 500 damage left, ignite means you add the rest 500 damage on top of the freshly applied 1k for 1.5 in total

dim basalt
inner wasp
#

like say u execute a few times and have a stacked bleed

dim basalt
#

Just see them as completely different debuffs

inner wasp
#

u press ms

#

what happens

dim basalt
#

You have 2 different DWs on the enemy

inner wasp
#

ok ok

dim basalt
#

Its weird /shrug

dim basalt
#

Nah this time its not Furys fault

#

Deep mortal wounds

#

Deep executution wounds

dim basalt
#

They changed the damage breakdown of Arms and lowballed some buffs

#

Followed by random nerfs

slow saddle
#

Wdym??

#

Yes pls

#

Explaib the 20% ms 20% exe 33% dw nerf

look i know we're the unga bunga class but i think ret paladins have even fewer braincells than us somehow maybe we shouldnt listen to them

I don’t think ret is that bad, will likely see a buff cause they always do, but they do have the best healer going into midnight though.

Imagine playing pally and only playing one spec and complaining about the whole class because the spec you like isn’t as good as you want it to be.

we have to play arms in heroic dungeons tho so blizz gets data on how bad it actually is

the data is there but no work is done to addres the spec. arms need a whole rework in my opinion, but fury gets all the atention

just entirely rework arms to play like a blademaster 😔

#

they wanted to nerf raging blow build by nerfing the slayer talents, they ended up also nerfing overpower

#

arms stray nerfs because of prot and fury has been a thing since release of hero talents

gentle gyro
#

Hero talents were a mistake

#

Hot take, I feel like apex talents are gonna age like milk as well

#

Instead of forcing people speccing Into apex talents and losing essential spec talent points, a lot of this stuff could be just baked in the spec, in the spec selection screen.

dim basalt
#

Because the 4 you use for apex are the ones you get from levelling to 90

#

So it really doesnt matter whether you have them baseline right away and get no points at all or use the 4 for the apex talents

thorn stream

#

They dont know how

#

we got the tech but the devs dont know how to use it for warriors

fresh spire
spark mango
#

you cant go 4/4 apex

dim basalt
spark mango
#

well its a design flaw on their part.the cd reduction on warbreaker does more harm then good

#

whats the point of cd reduction when if bladestorm is close you have to hold anyway

dim basalt
#

Its not a design flaw when it was done on purpose

#

Not by accident

fresh spire
#

As far as I know there is an attempt to try get avatar added to 4/4. But if they do it is another question. 3/4 is the staple across the entire spec

dim basalt
#

Considering most tanks also dont run 4/4 apex it does seem like Arms is a tank now keks

fresh spire
#

Relatable feeling monkahmm

dim basalt
#

Except they run 1/4 instead of 3/4

#

Which is arguably worse

gentle gyro
fresh spire
#

We ran 1/4 on sims for a long while until they nerfed other stuff enough that 2 and 3 became pretty decent lol

dim basalt
halcyon valve
spark mango
#

could easily have seperate talents point like hero talents

#

easily

#

then they could tweak them knowing everyone has 4 points, rather than this

dim basalt
#

But it really does suck when the apex talents are so undertuned its not worth taking all 4

#

Which is more of an exception

#

Im very certain they dont want them to be a choice but a must take

#

Where then it wouldnt matter whether theyre hero talents or not

spark mango
#

you have 4 extra talent points you can put anywhere, i meant just have seperate points, class, spec, hero, apex

dim basalt
#

Yeah thats my point

#

They dont want you to have the option but they suck at balancing

#

We want them to be good and casuals want cool class fantasy

#

So in theory they could satisfy both parties

#

And Im not sure if theres any spec with boring apex talents (from a casual pov)

spark mango
#

i mean legion artifacts, you would put points in all of them and had good fantasy

#

and you could satisfy your inner nerd somewhere else

gentle gyro
#

And you lose a ton cleave, sweeping strikes related stuff in the spec tree

#

Maybe some people love to swap builds Inbetween trash / boss pulls idk

thorn stream
thick kelp
#

yeah

thorn stream
#

they were probably just lazy on warrior

silver wasp
thorn stream
#

nerf deathstalkers mark explicitely for assassination instead for both specs

#

as example

spark mango
#

they do it for prot and fury thane aswell most of the time

#

but arms catches both colossus and slayer nerfs

thorn stream
#

probably they just forget this spec exists

halcyon valve
#

Apex talents should have been mutually exclusive talents connected to your capstones imo but at this point whatever man

So we really heading into launch in this state huh

We'll be fine on the 17th 👍

Numbers wise probably but the gameplay of arms feels shit right now at least imo

thorn stream
#

then you might need to play smth else - i dont think playstyle will change in s1

floral hornet
#

Arms apex talents should've been based around execute, give them condemn and uber empower execute

daring creek
#

Is it possible, they will buff arms in 2-3 weeks after launch? At least to "B-tier" spec

Brothers, I am a first time warrior main for my raid team. I am so excited and proud to go into this expansion playing the most dog shit spec. I can't wait to somehow out dps a top performing spec. I refuse to play fury until bullied, which is my kink, so I think this will all work out in the long run. We hold.

Why would you as a first time warrior auto lock arms. Crazy.

if we get a two target boss fight and arms is not top dps by far, idenitiy is lost and you have to look far for it

fury is so well designed with a bit of buff can be top dps in many fights

arms on other hand is suffering from very bad design

# rapid bronze I think yesterday's top post was about why is slam still in the game, today it's...

You know as a former ret main as of this expansion I look at arms and truly don’t understand how they haven’t been able to “fix” the class fantasy. When you compare ret pre-rework to now you can see how simple it all could be. Rend being one that really stands out to me. Like how come you can get Execution Sentence and Final Reckoning in one button but Mortal Strike and Rend can’t be? Why can Ret have Wings on Wake but Demolish and Avatar can’t be in sync? The level of effort they have put into arms compared to just 1 other spec is funny to me

rapid bronze

they didn't put any effort into arms at all

it's honestly quite infuriating

You can say it’s a PvP spec I guess. But like they can tune pve and PvP separately. Also ret is what top 2 right now? Everything I said still applies to rets PvP so 🤷‍♂️ it’s just lazy dev. There isn’t really an excuse for them in my humble opinion

slow saddle
lyric hound
# slow saddle It is not bloated at all

The rotation is 5 buttons and 3 cds depending on situation. Add another for demolish. It’s much more bloated than many of the other specs especially considering Rend is a meaningless upkeep and sweeping strikes should get the sort of treatment that rogues slice and dice got by trigger off of whirlwind or something, the spec is bloated and outdated.

is it not possible to track HS in the CDM

Vast majority of arms players enjoy the piano man playstyle and like what others would consider “bloat.”

lyric hound
spiral coral
obsidian otter

if you like slayer arms play slayer fury its a bit different then live as no set bonus so were not pressing RB hardly at all and we press rampage more execute phase feels good to as your going almost just pressing execute rampage and BT

lyric hound
#

The point I’m making is with blizzards new class philosphy it’s probably hard to balance the bloat. Leading to low numbers and nobody playing. I don’t mind the playstyle but more moving parts = harder balance = over/under tuning

obsidian otter

they could of avoided all this if they never touched OP at all we still wouldnt of been as strong as demo lock or UHDK but we defently would been up there lol

olive nest
#

I don’t mind rend as maintenance personally I just don’t want to chose between two buttons to apply to one target vs many that’s where it gets annoying for me

slow saddle
#

?

frozen bramble
#

Because Arms is balanced around bleeds, the bleeds are being heavily nerfed, and arms has like no identity

slow saddle
#

Rend is aoe wdym

Rend is ST, TC is aoe rend

No

Rend is aoe

olive nest

It is now I’m aware

#

Past gripes

slow saddle
#

In m+ u just rend when gathering

#

Low risk decent dmg

smoky kayak
#

it just doesn't have any real interaction with the rotation, beyond bloodsurge giving a little bit of rage (which is very welcome, but not doesn't exactly create any exciting moments)

olive nest
#

Nuking a target with skullsplitter due to rend/dw was nice miss that

smoky kayak
#

things like Taste for Blood or the DFS3 tier set made Rend a lot more exciting

slow saddle
#

I mean it removes bad moments

smoky kayak
#

or yeah, even Skullsplitter, which I still maintain could have been a good way to carry forward Colossus' bleed focus

slow saddle
#

Yeye sks with new mastery

#

= perfect

#

Give old sks then

#

That just spend all bleeds

marsh estuary
#

im a little confused

#

why do I lose master of warfare stacks?

slow saddle
#

Time

#

Each lasts x seconds

smoky kayak
#

the idea I pitched was a talent that basically baked Skullsplitter's effect into Execute, with the idea that Colossus would talent it instead of all the normal Execute-rage benefits, basically meaning that

  • Slayer would talent into a bunch of Execute refunds so it can spam Exe
  • Colossus would only use Execute on Sudden Death proc, but it would trigger a big burst of bleed damage
slow saddle
#

Nonono

smoky kayak
#

essentially keeping the skullsplitter theme, but consolidating it into an existing button

slow saddle
#

Would make to much sense

marsh estuary
#

or is it like

#

they all last 30

#

Yup

marsh estuary
#

but i take too long

And other shit

marsh estuary
#

I suposse

#

just feels kinda bad

slow saddle
#

Y?

#

Just send hs

smoky kayak
# marsh estuary just let them roll over

the reason they overlap instead of combine is because they don't want it to be something you stack up all fight long

  • 1: it would mean you'd get far stronger towards the middle/end of the fight than the start
  • 2: it would mean that enough downtime causing you lose stacks would horribly cripple your damage, since the amount of time it would take to stack them up again would be prohibitively long
slow saddle
#

Asap

marsh estuary
#

getting one is already random enough

slow saddle
#

Which is fine?

#

Proc based prio spec

smoky kayak
#

basically think of it is as "I'm usually going to have 2-4 stacks" instead of "I start the fight at 1 and end at 20"

marsh estuary
#

it prob wouldnt suck if i wasnt grasping for more damage sources to not feel like my damage is dogshit

smoky kayak
#

that's just arms, it's undertuned

#

that's not really a design issue, it's just a tuning one

marsh estuary

arms with some damage buffs and a rage buff would play really nicely imo
