minor gust
obsidian otter
#

main story didnt get me to 90 🙁

minor gust
#

Sounds about right

#

You can craft for a full level or just side quest/dung

obsidian otter
#

didnt even get me to 89 lol

#

and i did like 3 dungeons on the way

#

i did get both rings though for the ring set!

minor gust
#

Oof that means you won't get em in your M0s 😛

obsidian otter
#

i know..

#

i said same thing lol

#

im sure my arms will get them 🙁

untold trench
#

I will make sure that blizz get solid data on the arms vs fury situation

minor gust
#

Who's sandbagging now hmmmmm????

#

You don't have to worry arms will get another nerf on the 17th and another on mythic week because of fury

#

Fury blasted too hard in heroics once again so BS is eating another nerf which hits arms

shadow ibex
#

it should beat ppl in content where mobs have no health

#

p front loaded burst for what it has

untold trench
#

Why? I am bored

minor gust
#

Of only!

untold trench
#

Still only 6-8% of my dam

minor gust
#

OF will never recover from being shot dead in S2 even if its part of the tier set

untold trench
#

I still hope the giga buff mortalstrike tho

#

I got hope

minor gust
#

Got to wait till next patch just like season 1 of the war within

#

Season 1 mortal strike was piss week and then it was gigabuff for undermine

untold trench
#

17th, rise of Arms

#

just wait and see

#

trust the system

gaunt owl
#

more nerf

#

finish him

quaint otter
proud remnant
#

bladestorm dmg increased by 50% and burst storm dmg on initial spin added

rough otter
#

i think the campaing got me on 88

obsidian otter
#

yeah iwanted to see if main took me without them

rough otter
#

without doing dgs

#

and with warmode off

thorn stream
#

Arms leveling was really…. Good copium

proud remnant
#

i think its great

minor gust
#

anything can level in retail

proud remnant
#

mind you i am a garen main in LOL

#

the bar is low

minor gust
#

you wont even notice how bad arms is while leveling

thorn stream
proud remnant
#

is the data that bad for arms???

thorn stream
#

Nah leveling was smooth so arms is on a great spot peepoHappy

#

The most fun thing:
not pick apex 4/4 with 90

minor gust
#

tuning wise its pretty fucking ass at max level just pray for significant buffs on the 17th but ima be honest likely not gonna happen

#

prob gonna get something under 10% aura and it will be enough to keep us ahead of tanks but well still be ass

fresh spire
#

Dunno. I got a feeling for once that arms actually will get buffed. If not enough on first week it will be on second.

proud remnant
#

i will email blizzard and make a formal request. Any other wishes?

fresh spire
#

It's had such bad reception over all content creators. Social media is laughing at blizzard for the bad tuning

minor gust
proud remnant
#

so we are so bad we will end up being good

shadow ibex
#

gotta get your spec to reddit for it to be buffed

minor gust
latent moss
proud remnant
#

HAHAHAH

#

wow

fresh spire
minor gust
#

best case scenario were slightly below average

#

blizz will tune to keep things in line

latent moss
#

we will get band aid aura buffed until we are average / slightly below average

minor gust
#

not to make something go from bad to op that stuff happens only during ptr/beta

proud remnant
#

we will make average look sexy

latent moss
#

we make tanks look sexy

thorn stream
#

I made a guardian Druid look sexy in one dungeon

nova marsh
#

Hey guys

#

How's leveling as arms

obsidian otter
#

if you wanna look broken as arms go in at level 80 in new dungeons

minor gust
rough otter
#

no that bad but probably faster with fury

#

i just chilled and went through levelling

#

and nothing to complain about it

halcyon valve
dire hinge
#

that's the spirit

#

leveling is fine though, you can do it as any spec, everything dies quickly

obsidian otter
#

you can upgrade gear actually

#

its working

#

heroic gear adventure track and your getting the currency from delve level 4 and outdoor events

nova marsh
#

Yeah I'll get some basic ass gear once leveling is done

#

I went to do all the dungeon and delve side quests

obsidian otter
#

idk what ilv you had to reach but world quest are giving me 224 adventurer gear

#

blizzard gave a NPC a better ravager then us lol it knocks you back constantly and bleeds you

minor gust
#

prot has our better ravager. Passive and it generates rage

silk lake
#

So what changed with arms

fossil thistle
#

In AoE, are you guys just Cleave x3 after Warstomp, or using ST abilities to stack Collateral Damage stacks?

hard egret
#

Hello, I have a question. I just got back to playing wow after years, and trying out arms again. I already tried to do my own research.. but I'm kind of lost on what's up with the spec, I remember arms being all about mortal strike and hit big and hard, why is there so much bleed dmg now?

minor gust
minor gust
hard egret
#

Kind of feels weird being bleed spec, that's all XD. considering the spec fantasy of wielding a weapon.

minor gust
#

been a bleed spec since vanilla

#

hit something hard and make it bleed

#

bleeds arent really the main focus of the spec its more like icing on a cake. Your still all about things like MS OP CLEAVE EXE

#

but I get how you feel. Blizz could do so much better with this spec I cant disagree.

hushed pine
#

like making Rend worth pressing lol

minor gust
hushed pine
#

Funny concept, I know

#

it's almost like they did it...

#

checks date

#

16 years ago, wow

minor gust
#

yeah I still wish it did more for our gameplay than just a thing to maintain (dependent on tuning) and gen some rage with a meh talent.

#

It had its place for awhile with proccing OP

obsidian otter
#

man im getting so lucky with speed rolls on gear for no reason lol

#

16% base coasting

hushed pine
#

Arms rework in 12.1 surely

dense sphinx
#

rework blizzard tuning dept

nova marsh
bleak arrow
#

Rend is iconic tho

nova marsh
#

Iconic ability that can be shoved up my ass

#

Jokes aside, I honestly dont mind rend. Espically now that it dosent take 2 keybinds

vale gorge
rancid dome
#

Overpower during Opportunist . is that mean 2 stack of Opportunist or just 1?

rancid dome
#

yes it stacking 2 time

obsidian otter
#

doesnt really stack even though it says it as you will always use a stack. When you press OP and it resets its own CD your next OP will use that stack its imposible to even get 2 stacks

vale gorge
obsidian otter
rancid dome
#

in aoe the Overpower during Opportunist priority is higher than MS so i was wondring if i hold MS for 2 stacks

nova marsh
#

Also you dont really want to use stacks on ms in full aoe

#

It should go to cleave (unless im trippin)

obsidian otter
#

it doesnt buff cleave no more

nova marsh
#

Oh

rancid dome
nova marsh
obsidian otter
#

your only ever using MS as fill as slayer in aoe if cleave /OP is on CD and no SD proc you MS with sweeping strikes up

#

BS will use your OP stacks with unhenged though in aoe

minor gust
minor gust
nova marsh
#

Yeah I cant remeber all the arms changes nowadays

#

Either way we dont really care about mp stacks, yes?

minor gust
#

Yee just like collateral it's just something passive happening in the background

nova marsh
#

I dont think we ever really have

minor gust
#

Your still gonna just follow the same old prio

nova marsh
#

At least not since df

minor gust
#

Eh kinda because it did affect cleave. So in aoe it was still more value to make sure you consumed MP stacks with cleave, but tbh didn't really matter that much if you occasionally consumed with MS

nova marsh
#

I mean more like in the sense of like

#

Wanting 2

#

Before sendinh

minor gust
#

Oh idk if that was ever a thing

#

At least my memory doesn't go back that far

nova marsh
#

I dont think MP was ever tuned that high. For the better tbh

obsidian otter

our first pull lol

plucky fern
obsidian otter
#

nah its perfectly balanced was first midnight dungeon as 80

#

feels so good after just leveling fury to 90 though ngl.. i prefer arms over fury

obsidian otter
plucky fern
#

nah its just scaling, its always like that, geared lvl 80 does insane damage on any class, when others lose damage every level

#

its stipud but you are doing more damage now than you will do on lvl 90 with new gear

AOE is pretty good, Cleave consuming HS, and SD proccing REAP is very good

Dreadnaught dog ass

candid pecan

yeah 🙁

gentle gyro
#

Revert all Dreadnaught changes and it's the best arms ever

#

Regarding aoe

#

not numbers wise

#

feel wise

plucky fern
#

revert all the arms nerfs and then we maybe climb to B tier

#

where I can find arms builds?

feral breach
#

You can build arms in a gym.
Or maybe wowhead?

shadow ibex
#

I dont wanna read these tiny %

#

Get it outta my sight

plucky fern
#

better buff bleeds lol, if they are removed then this spec is basically only 'hit enemies with basic attacks'

untold trench
#

I for one prefer having a "press this button every 15 sec" gameplay instead Hydrate it is so much more fun than doing big dam on the hit of the ability

gentle gyro
#

I never understood bleed hate

plucky fern
#

so many people here hate bleeds asking them to be removed, but whats left tho lol, slamming and day long no thanks

gentle gyro
#

Do mechanics or be stunlocked for 3 business days = zero damage

latent moss
#

the issue with arms bleeds is that

#

they dont interact with the rest of the spec

plucky fern
#

also bleeds is our only way to do damage in large pulls like 10+ mobs

shadow ibex
#

Bigger ms

vagrant aspen
#

Bleeds only fun at BFA giga mastery deep wounds

plucky fern
shadow ibex
#

And they still do caca damage sadge

plucky fern
#

also the 'thematic' is there

#

you hit enemy with your big bonk

#

he bleeds from injuries

shadow ibex
#

What if he just died

gentle gyro
#

"Just make rend nr1 in details like in DF S3" xeos

latent moss
#

s2

#

rend was top dmg with sks build

plucky fern
#

details from my last dungeon run

gentle gyro
#

Rend was literally in S3 set

#

+70% or something

plucky fern
#

maybe bias because it was like 10-20 mob pulls but rend is not useless

latent moss
#

thunderclap was all of ur dmg in aoe from the tierset

shadow ibex
#

Yea cleave is gonna get merked

latent moss
#

good

#

it should

plucky fern
#

the REAL problem is cleave doing 70% of damage xd

latent moss
#

get shot in the head

shadow ibex
#

Lmao

latent moss
#

asap

shadow ibex
#

Just give me frontal ms man

latent moss
#

ye bro i love when 1 button is all my dmg

#

crushing combo needs to get shot

shadow ibex
#

I wish that was a fork

gentle gyro
#

69%?

shadow ibex
#

Not having to pick up x2

#

Tbf colossus always been a lot of cleave just super obvious now cuz nothing does dmg

plucky fern
latent moss
#

slayer was so close to cleaveless

#

but then everything but cleave got shot

plucky fern
#

its supposed to be reap and bladestorm doing heavy lifting
but currently you still rely on cleave which is wierd

latent moss
#

so now both hero talents play the same

candid pecan
#

**what about One against Many vs Arterial bleed for colossus? **

the idea is that you play OAM for dungeons and Arterial bleed for St (Raid)...

however you will never fucking play colossus in raid because of shit ST.... oh and they nerfed DW and Cut to the bone and it seems like Arterial bleed is 3% not 5% so whats the point of bleeds?

shadow ibex
#

They won't ever let bs be amazing aoe

plucky fern
#

their AI probably is bugged

shadow ibex
#

If you could do respect with just wb and bs bedge

plucky fern
#

and instead of buffing it nerfs

#

3 times in a row

#

cant explain otherwise

#

shooting already dead spec

shadow ibex
#

Meta in early access

plucky fern

a human being could NOT print those changes

shadow ibex

Nothing has hp

I think fury gonna be special if it doesnt get tww s1'd sgain

any good news on arms

I even saw one out in the wild last night!

marsh estuary
#

i switchted to fury and i actually kinda like it if they buff arms atleast to be like it was in prepatch ill switch back

#

for now it feels awful

#

mortal strike should not be hitting for so little

minor gust

shadow ibex
#

The ms dmg is the journey along the way

obsidian otter
#

I should have my arms to 90 by tomorrow for sure. My fury slayer is gear capped so can’t progress him anymore atm

#

I like to keep them both at same ilv so I can actually compare runs to one another. Sims is great for dialing in gear but actually seeing it in action is a bit different

royal oyster
#

Levelling my arms warrior over the last few days has been rough; I leveled as Collossus becuase I figured having good Aoe/cleave would be the go to choice and like... I'm not gonna lie, the crawl from level 87-90 was rough; felt like I was back in TBC or Wrath with how I was struggling with some of the adds in world content.

#

Really, it comes down to how it feels like Single target has just cratered; Like maybe if heroic strike was able to dumptruck more damage It would be different but like... for a good chunk of the leveling expierience I was getting more damage out of the legendary cloak and my heroic arcano trinket then my actual damage.

royal oyster
#

Take it as a grain of salt from me though; I'm not going to pretend that I'm a great player or anything, but Arms feels anemic right now.

slow saddle

M8 its 30/40% behibd

The state of colossus st is emberassing ngl

#

Feels like literally an expac behind anyone else

#

It would actually make more sense if I was wearing shit from last expac

cobalt lodge
#

Yeah i mean Ret and WW monk arent looking spicy either and they are still lightyears ahead of arms in terms of dam

#

All tanks and a healer outdps arms on pure st

gentle gyro
#

Good news, can't wait to start

obsidian otter
# royal oyster Levelling my arms warrior over the last few days has been rough; I leveled as Co...

idk i leveled to 90 as slayer fury and will also be slayer arms. I feel reap is better than Demolish. You have no CD on reap and it procs every Sudden death proc. Plus it procs off cleave and MS. and for world content a CS into Cleave will wipe out anything your fighting aoe with slayer. You get Slayer strikes Reap procs and Slam procs when you cleave. And for big mass pulls you can easily big pull into CS >BS>Cleave spam everything should be dead.

#

I feel colossus your a CD spec more for your biggest burst CS>RAV>Cleave spam. outside of that idk what aoe your having

obsidian otter
#

if you dont use rend or struggle at keeping it up then dont run bloodsurge at all

#

you should be using it but i know some dont

royal oyster
#

Thanks for the advice Jet, I'll give it a shot 🙂

leveling i use this build stuff dies to fast for Collateral or Mass execution to matter in open world. Battle lord gives you better rage management and more MS more reap stuff actually dying faster then when i leveled fury lol

Holyshit, you guys are going hard and i thought ppl would boycott arms warrior in objection

#

😂

proud remnant

arms till the day i die

#

fuck the haters

The only hater is blizzard devs who pretend a 30% + weaker spec is just a form of "diversity" between seasons

and came to the conclusion that Arms is still played

12.0 arms rework btw

If there's anything good that comes from current arms

Question about the rotation. Was reading the Wowhead guide and there's no mention of collateral damage in the 2-target snippet at the top of the MT section. If mass execute is enough to bring cleave into the ST rotation, I'd assume having 3 collateral stacks would affect its place in the 2-target rotation?

quaint otter
#

Arms player basec is like 2%

obsidian otter
soft gust
#

You stack collat on 2 w sweeping no?

#

and it just affects next cleave

obsidian otter
#

wait wrong talent im thinking fob

yeah only 2

I can't imagine arms warriors getting more nerfs on the 17th, but then again...you never know.

nova marsh
#

You're 99% likely to level as fury anyways

nova marsh
#

I'm actually not even gonna level warr

proper moth
#

I tried playing fury it feels clunky as shit atleast slayer does

#

Haven’t touch Warrior since the end of DF rolled a DH all of TWW

nova marsh
#

I just don't like fury after maining it for like 6 years

#

Tbh

#

leveling as warr might feel better then DK

#

Because DK is so fucking stupid

#

I can't die but I do nothing to anything until I pop CDs. And then I pop CDs and evreything dies in 5 seconds before I even get to exterms lol

gentle gyro
#

Fdk nice for leveling?

nova marsh
#

I mean

#

It's okay

obsidian otter
#

im curious how you guys are leveling if your strugging like this

#

ive leveled to 90 on fury slayer and arms slayer is killing faster then fury was

nova marsh
#

Struggling wouldn't be the right word

proper moth
#

lol yeah a little tired of running fury too
Dk is nutty in normals at least. Rogue, lock, guardian Druid, and DK are destroying meters. Devourer takes too long to ramp

nova marsh
#

because like I literally cant die as dk as long as i have 2 braincells

#

If you're UDK

#

Sure

#

But UDK is boring as sin

#

And leveling as it is actually awful

proper moth
#

I didn’t mind it funny enough I full completed Silvermoon, sunwell, and ZA zones with some randoms dungeons and hit 90

dim basalt
#

I was just spamming the Silvermoon delve from 87 onward

nova marsh
#

I'm doing the full campign and did all the delve and dungeon quests

dim basalt

2 min to finish for 8% xp

proper moth
#

You’ll need to do the full campaign to get world quests etc

#

Lots of profession treasures in each zone too

nova marsh
#

I'm P sure the campign hasd enough to get me from 89-90

proper moth

Nope it’ll get ya to 87

If that’s all you’re doing

Had a guildie do that yesterday

From doing all dungeons and their quests and all delve quests + campign

But honestly I would love a rework for arms and fury. Idk why rogues and warlocks get like 7 reworks every patch

umbral badger
# nova marsh See how the 17th goes

how do you think it iwll go ? we went through this exactly last season, they keep you waiting until last moment and then they give you 9% aura buff to calm you down even though 9% won' do anything

even in that fantasy land , being "playable" after 3 seasons "an entire expansion really" of low priority by the devs is, playable is not enough.

nova marsh
#

I know

proper moth
#

Arms needs like 4 buttons, MS Execute Cleave OP

nova marsh
#

This is literally why I rerolled

#

Because they refuse to properly tune arms and we scale with buffs lmao

proper moth
#

That’s why I’m not playing it rn doesn’t feel goodsadge

nova marsh
#

altough I still think that because of how focused the team was on design, balance is gonna be completely fucked for S1

obsidian otter
# unkempt light nexus-point hc overall, we getting nerfed

that's the thing even when we was logging keys in beta at 150k-180k overall people still complain B tier wasnt good enough they wanted to get nerfed lol when your playing with the rest of the population not just beta sweats you will do alot better if your decent/good at arms alot of players even FOTM players still do bad on OP classes. They just look less bad if its tuned good lol

proper moth
#

I like the idea of buttons morphing it’s pretty cool on DH

proper moth

would fix the desync and reduce a keybind

# nova marsh altough I still think that because of how focused the team was on design, balanc...

dunno bro this is what they always use as their reason to neglect their shit. wow is still one of the games that milk the customers for money, they can manage to hire 10 more people for balance lol. in fact, i would bet that you can find thousends of ppl who would want their payment to be on balance and class identity, i ain't gonna be using their housing nor do i collect stuff like mounts. so when i pay the monthly payment i expect at least the product i use to be worked on lol.

nova marsh
#

I mean

#

I wouldn't be that extreme

proper moth
#

Yeah

#

Plenty of other classes that are beyond polished

#

Take warlock and rogue lmao

nova marsh
#

But honestly I think the instant we saw how much work they did on classes in just the first wave of alpha, it wasn't hard to tell balance was gonna be a complete shitshow

#

I honestly feel like that by the time blizz started doing actual buffs and nerfs we were already a week away from EA more or less

umbral badger
#

all that is fine, if it wasn't the same problem the entire expansion that we just went through, in fact slayer arms had 1 single week of season 2 being S tier, before getting nerfed back to like C tier

#

and the boss fights ended up being bad for arms even and wasn't even wanted in raids

proper moth
#

There’s someone on the dev team out for us

#

It’s the warlock dev I’ll put money on it

umbral badger
#

i do think that our access to execute nad sweeping strikes is in part why they don't buff us or make us strong enough, but then again there are enough classes that completely obelitrate specific fights.

#

so why draw a line here

nova marsh
#

Honestly I don't even think exe being great would help us that much

fast wedge
#

i just did a lvl 84 dungeon and was top dps. i think we’re back !

soft gust
#

so true

proper moth
#

Our buttons don’t make big numbers, our niche isn’t niche anymore and we aren’t the premier execute class.

nova marsh
#

Exe is only useful near the end of prog. It does literally jack all if we don't reach it

#

I mean fun fact

#

To my knowledge, arms wasn't even the main exe spec of warrior until like bfa!

slow saddle
#

IDM

slow saddle
#

if im bottomfeeder 99% of the time

#

but when we hit execute phase I RISE ABOVE THE DREGS AND PLACE MYSELF ON TOP ( if prog )

slow saddle
#

we can call it something else

proper moth
slow saddle
#

slightly bigger slam

muted swallow
#

is arms really as bad as ppl are saying

proper moth
#

Arms is supposed to be the big number melee spec that doesn’t do big numbers and blizz is unmoving on arms being a bleed spec

proper moth
nova marsh
muted swallow
#

good game

nova marsh
quaint otter
#

fury has even more bleeds

nova marsh
#

Espically now that Roar and SKS is gone

proper moth
#

Literally the whole wow community is like lol arms

#

Yerrrpppp

slow saddle
#

hmm

umbral badger
# slow saddle so many classes have execute m8

well, i've played arms for almost the entirety of world of warcraft history, and i can tell you one thing. sweeping strike and execute are 2 abilities that once the class is A tier on signle target, it becomes completely broken on certain fights. annd often times blizzard don't seem to like that but they do seem to go easier on more popular specs when it comes to balance ? i assume it is a big mix of reasons ofc but still

quaint otter
#

arms behind everything by 20%
lol

quaint otter
#

ret behind 5% of meta
"we close discord for boicot"

slow saddle
#

many classes have been better at the same time

#

and i have played since tbc

#

when ever we say 2 target cleave last 10 years when ? in raid ?

#

where we dont get cucked by warlock

nova marsh
#

The only specs that I'd call bleed specs are assa and feral

quaint otter
#

surv hunt maybe too

proper moth
#

Pretty sure MM Hunter does 2 target better than us lmao

proper moth
slow saddle
#

so show me a LOG where we totally fucked other specs

umbral badger
proper moth
slow saddle
#

i mean WHEN was arms Broken in ANY fights

#

due to sweeping fucking strikes ``

proper moth
#

Arms was pretty juiced in DF tbh

nova marsh
#

It was okay in df

#

But arms wasn't overpowered

proper moth
#

Correct

nova marsh
#

I can't recall a single time in DF where arms was hard meta

umbral badger
#

and lets be real, enhance shamans are sometimes in the same boat, both are specs that have lower playerbase in general so it says something.

#

feral druids too

nova marsh
#

Yes

proper moth
#

Feral is the outlier imo

umbral badger
#

it's like they are saying "if not many ppl play this spec, fk the few that do"

proper moth
#

But like feral isnt dogshit ass to play anymore

slow saddle
nova marsh
#

But I can say that enhance was also stupidin TWW S1

slow saddle
#

and meme season we were strong coz we had STUPID good tier

umbral badger
muted swallow
#

feral is worse to play now than it was before

slow saddle
#

but as i said arms when A tier in ST isnt broken in 2 target fights

muted swallow
#

feels worse atleast

slow saddle
#

Until now tbh

#

when they basicly make sweep passive and hit 100%

#

which was bad choice tbh

proper moth
#

That’s a good idea make SS baseline passive

nova marsh
#

At this point

#

Hot take

slow saddle
#

it should be

nova marsh
#

i'd rather they fucking remove SS

#

if that's the reason we can't be tuned well, get rid of it

#

No more excuses

slow saddle
#

Broad strokes should make ss passive 😄

shadow ibex
#

low emotional intelligence devs will give you almost 100% uptime on sweeping instead of just passive sweep because then they have to admit they were wrong FingerGuns

slow saddle
#

they manage to make FURY good in st ??:D with WW doing 65% to 4 targets ?:D

#

i mean not only that but IF sweep just was 12 + 12

#

then at least id live with it

proper moth
#

😂

slow saddle
#

but this fucking cs 12 and BY GOD if u click Sweep by mistake 12 + 12 = 12

#

MATH

shadow ibex
#

yea its very dumb just from pure gameplay

#

players have to know not to use one before the other

#

brilliance

slow saddle
#

yup

proper moth
#

Warrior dev is probably a full time pet battler

shadow ibex
#

be like if you had to completely empty your bullets in an fps before you reload

slow saddle
#

like its the least intuitive thing in wow atm

nova marsh
#

And Deathbringer

shadow ibex
#

is deathbringer auto cast on pillar of str yet

#

since you just macro'd them together

nova marsh
#

No

shadow ibex
#

then thats dumb

proper moth
#

I liked the SL execute of first 35% and last 35%

nova marsh
#

But honestly I don't really care much about RM

#

No not that

#

You get exterm from FwF

#

Meaning if you send FwF early in pillar (like you'd naturally do), you fuck yourself and over cap

slow saddle
#

LOL harandir = jurrasic park on mushrooms

nova marsh
#

Harandir is just blizzard stealing Slyvari from GW2

#

Lowkey

shadow ibex
#

does pof have a 12 sec cap

#

so if you fwf right after it wont get +4

But it feels kinda jank

Is the arms apex any good? I feel like it’s lazy and gay

nova marsh
#

waiting for mark to pop, then spending exterm, THEN popping FWF

umbral badger
#

what's more funny to me as i love colossus is how we already had to manage our rage, blizzard were like "manage your rage? WHAT? you should not have rage to begin with ! "

#

LoL

proper moth
#

New content! Heroic strike returns for the 15th time!!

nova marsh
#

Eh

#

I think it's fine

#

adds some flavor to the rota

proper moth
#

I feel like it would be from the base talents not apex lol

nova marsh
#

I really do feel like it's what you want from apexes

proper moth
#

Like Dev DH gives 100% crit 200% crit dam and a free cast on meta like it’s juiced

umbral badger
#

best way to get arms buffed is to compare wow balancing to PoE balancing , blizzard hates nothing more than getting beating by PoE in any way

quaint otter
umbral badger
#

yup

quaint otter
#

even poe2 is more complex than wow

umbral badger
#

and yet they get the game right 900 times better than wow lol

umbral badger

sharp wyvern

being an arms warrior is a struggle its litteraly canon

nova marsh
#

I mean

#

blizz does wake up evrey day and flip arms off

proper moth
#

Don’t worry guys it’s all part of the story. All the arms warriors are going to get imbued by the sun well and the class will get deleted and everyone will just be a ret paladingladge

nova marsh

Na

#

they can't do that

blizzard needs a punching bag

Well maybe we we get some nice things on the 17th otherwise I have collapsing star that makes big number

The spec is doomed

There is no hope for arms. Its over

It’s a slap that breaks the fourth wall it’s actually for the player

17th is just tuning that shit doesn't mean anything

nova marsh

I wish blizz would come in the chat

#

read my name

#

and do it

nova marsh
#

At the start of alpha I thought they'd actually do that

#

But nope

minor gust
#

We all did

nova marsh
#

Blizz had to prove me wrong lmao

minor gust
#

We got hoodwinked

nova marsh

I stg the start of alpha trolled us so fucking hard

I genuinely feel gaslit lol

minor gust

Avatar gone ravager gone. So much potential to make CS and BS/demo mean and do something

proper moth
minor gust
#

There was so much potential at the start of alpha and it fell so flat

nova marsh
#

We are not getting a rework until 12.05 at the earliest

proper moth

Agreed

nova marsh

And the most likely is maybe TLT

proper moth
#

Rogue will get another rework

Yeahhhh

😩

They knew !

I was looking forward to coming back to arms

Same

But now I'll just stay on dk

proper moth
#

Khadgar wheelchair it is

nova marsh
#

Also thats not true. Enhance got reworked for 11.05

minor gust
#

True yeah they stopped after the first season tho

proper moth
#

Numbers aside playing the spec feels janky

minor gust
#

Ppl getting upset at major class changes during the season

#

So they stopped doing it

proper moth
#

wtf

#

They can kick rocks

nova marsh
#

I mean I can agree

#

But reworks usually make the spec op

minor gust
#

It's all the fotm rerollers fault

#

OMG I have to reroll on the .5 patch because of the class changes wth Blizz!

proper moth
#

Reworks make the spec work like intended😂😂😂

#

Don’t worry we’re safe this xpac DH getting the legendary if there is one

nova marsh
#

I hope not

#

Tww was objectively correct in no Legos. Fuck that shit

#

And I honestly feel like cantrip items do that better without being as infuriating

proper moth
#

I don’t like legos classes are balanced around them is stupid look at the Axe in DF

#

I want to be OP with a Lego not balanced

nova marsh
#

Being balanced around one item you might not even see for the majority of the season is terrible

proper moth
#

Literally

nova marsh
#

Or at all if you dont raid

proper moth
#

Like nah Leme be busted with it or don’t put it in the game

nova marsh

Yeah id rather the axe have been rare and busted

Rather then guaranteed and basically mandatory cuz youre tuned around it

I was carried in DF, got the evoker Lego first sark kill in an alt run and hard swapped to dev then got the axe in a couple of lock outs

DF was alrightkeks

Yeah df was fine

Didnt vibe with tww and thought the content was p mid

Also I got stuck in exclusively m+ hell for half the time I played it. Ty work

Hoping midnight is better I like it so far

nova marsh

All the dungeons feel kinda fine

proper moth
#

Yeah

nova marsh

Then again I haven't done mythic and only norms. But like layout wise p nice

And we arent being shoved in a corridor or in a corner

proper moth

Idk the mechanics of most bosses cause they die so fast lmao

nova marsh
#

Alson

#

I think ints have been handled better by FAR

proper moth
#

Yes layout is good def passes the vibe check. Stuck in norm atm too need a lil more ilvl to do heroics

nova marsh
#

Seeing ones that arent bolts but just pulsing damage feels fine. Id rather have that over infinite one shot bolts

proper moth

Yes that’s a nice change

The only boss I didn't really like was first boss of nexus point but like

I have to actually do it properly

should be a problem

nova marsh

It is

#

Blizzard actually fucking trolled this time

#

You cant convince me this shit wasnt on purpose just to flip the bird to arms

#

Yall gonna leave udk mage and demo as meta

#

But nerf arms who was just kinda there. We dont even have the excuse of fury strays this time

#

Like demo is obviously busted lol

#

But no, lets nerf a random barely b tier spec. God im still salty

thick kelp

why tf cant it be held properly if tis a polearm

Because animations poopy

Why's it so small

Also I forgot eu gets daily reset early and went on to check the tp lol

I'll just go afk during bosses, has the same effect

Its kinda unfair how fury apex works all the time while we keep praying for procs

Blizzard? Love Fury more than Arms? Noooo.

modern cove
tropic eagle
#

I searched this a while back out of curiosity. Fury has been above average in dps rankings for 7-8 expansions out of 10 while arms only excelled in like3 outside of very specific niche fights

#

Only lord knows why I keep playing this shit since tbc clueless

hallow quail
#

Arms has incredibly strong class fantasy. The fundamentals are very reminiscent of the old wow. Despite the actual gameplay being so far removed. DBTS is one of the coolest active mitigation spells in the game in dungeons.

Personal opinion, I think arms matches wows intended street brawler combat style quite effectively. While fury feels like playing with wet noodles.

naive minnow
#

Arms has been and always will be my favorite spec. Was just shocked during the EA going "hmm... why am I having rage problems?"

proper moth
#

Dumb changes that don’t make sense, bad tuning, clunky and bloated kit, blizz hell bent on arms being a bleed spec, apex talents lame asf, list goes on

tropic eagle
#

its still the only spec thats close to my heart so F it we ball

#

no magic shit just a bigass sword to fight galactic wars and stuff? Sign me up

proper moth
#

100% just frustrating. It’s my favorite spec. TWW is when I decided to roll off war for the first time since I started the game in wrath and I’m mad that it was the right decision

tropic eagle
#

same actually.. been an arms guy since tbc but tww wasnt it so I mained a ww monk and I had so much more fun man...

proper moth
#

Rolled havoc in TWW now the new spec and throwing spirit bombs for giant damage is too good

#

Dopamine hit is crazy

shadow ibex
#

spirit bombs are for the birds

proper moth
#

😂

#

When they slam for 200k+ feels good man

#

Not to mention you get a 30% amp on each one cast the damage gets nutty. Ramp up is the only down side

shell arch
#

ARMS feels so bad, what the hell is that class design

fast wedge
#

HEY! i love it, just buff my numbers

shell arch
#

slam?! WHY THIS SPELL STILL EXISTS

#

most warriors hate slam, if they are making a slam focused build, should be at least tied to hero talent tree, not apex, that is common for all builds

proper moth
#

Idk why heroic strike is the apex talent it’s stupid

latent moss
#

i dont get the slam hate and i never will

proper moth

How many times has heroic strike be removed and reintroduced

latent moss

ye it does nothing its a filler

bleak arrow

i wish colo played ms>slam>op

and slayer ms>op>slam

and it was kinda going that direction in early alpha

but they just decided to make both play the same

now its slam > everything xD

honestly ive been enjoying arms leveling over fury lol

I always play arms though so could be bias

#

I only play slayer though in both specs

fading isle
#

fury is such a mess with the rotation

obsidian otter
#

how so 90% of the time your just pressing BT and rampage

#

and execute

white stratus
#

i get what he means for the rotation, feels weird

fading isle
#

BT=Execute , in recklessness: 3 times rampage then BT whatever and BT

white stratus
#

arms is hit 1 spell BIG NUMBER

#

rampage seems weak af on screen

obsidian otter
#

you cant stack it to 3 to boost BT/bloodbath so you should always do BT/Bloodbath after second rampage

fading isle
obsidian otter
#

Bloodbath does more damage then rampage

#

no i mean the stacks that boost BT damage

fading isle
#

bcs rampage deals less damage than anytthig

obsidian otter
#

not whirlwind stacks

#

Scent of blood

bleak arrow
#

Are they in the room with us

obsidian otter
#

during reck you wanna BT after every Rampage if its up usually its up after second one

white stratus
#

idk i got some 65k strikes on mobs

fading isle
#

man... just buff 30% damage and 15% on MS

#

arms

#

and i'll play it

#

I feel bored with fury rn

bleak arrow
#

Best I can do is 20% cleave

obsidian otter
#

if your running MP then you should be aiming to fill 2-3GCDS between every MS

#

MS cd is 5s you should be using OP/slam/heroic in between to boost the MS so it actually does damage. And if you can fill in those GCD with SD procs it boost MS even more

fading isle
#

season 3 dragonflight fury was fun than this midnight bs

fading isle
bleak arrow
#

Wouldn’t surprise me

obsidian otter
#

you have 3 gcds in betwen MS strikes so you should either be at 3 stacks of MP or if you get SD procs 2 stacks of MP 1 stack of EP. Sometimes you can get 2 stacks of EP and 1 stack of EP in single target.

bleak arrow
#

We removed slam by mooning cleave

fading isle
#

As of I know in beta tuning, Cleave is 3k or 7k behind MS

#

so

#

delete Arms

#

and call it now Legs

bleak arrow
#

Make arms a healer so we can warrior stack

#

Would also mean doing more damage

obsidian otter
#

You should have these stacks every time you press MS using MP and EP talents. You have enough GCDs for it to happen naturally to boost your MS to actually hit hard.

#

even in beta people said ms wasnt hitting hard yet i was doing 450k MS strikes.. at max gear

#

but they didnt want to run the build that was working and logging 150k-180k in beta

#

Sure we are in need of buff specially after the nerfs but people still not using what we have that works even if we get A tier people gonna complain

nova marsh
#

Guys question

#

is details making the game literally unplayable due to extreme lua errors for anyone else?

limber light
#

but i had not error until now

nova marsh
#

yeah same, it was fine up till today

obsidian otter
#

details depth of what hit etc is good but its not as accurate as a server side dps meter. Even when you test details its off by few hits of a skill the longer it runs. Even testing it and counting every skill you press it sometimes shows less or more.

#

I think blizzard will have it more detailed soon we already upgraded from beta one we had

#

all were missing is the fine details when you click on the damage

nova marsh
#

Oh so details isn't really a worth while addon now

obsidian otter
#

even when i compare my logs damage to blizzard dps meters vs details meters the logs and blizzards meters were more similar then vs details and logs

nova marsh
#

Whelp

#

How big is the difference

obsidian otter
#

its not massive details still fine if that is what you prefer

#

its not like your doing 10k+ more on one then the other lol Ive ran both details and blizzard dps in beta they are pretty close I just prefer a server side data vs not

#

and were already on version 2.0 of it from what we had in beta so im sure its gonna get another update

nova marsh
#

For now I'm just gonna uninstall it

#

Just use blizzard's

#

Espically after it made my game literally unplayable

obsidian otter
#

blizzards is customizable onlything your missing is the details of crits hits number of skills used etc

#

outside of that has everything

nova marsh
#

I don't like how it looks but

#

I feel like that's nitpicky at this point

obsidian otter
#

there multiple skins to it

#

only 3 styles atm sure but im sure will get more skins to it

tropic eagle
#

I mean... Biz is still rocking arms

obsidian otter
tropic eagle
#

that means its decent

obsidian otter
#

i mean thats all skins we got right now

tropic eagle
#

I can work with decent

nova marsh
#

No my main problem is just

#

how it displays the damage breakdown

#

It just dosen't look good to me

This just looks like shit to me

thanks friend

obsidian otter
#

you can change bar size length etc

#

so it looks cleean

nova marsh
#

na na na not my problem here

#

The problem is I just really display the window itself

#

compared to....any other damage meter addon

obsidian otter
# next vessel thanks friend

I level with the Battlelord build but i run dungeons with the other ive used both in dungeons you just do way less aoe damage with battle lord build

is your details updated?
