Bloodsurge also doesn't seem to be working on sims. So it may return when fixed

I.. cannot.. believe.. cleave.. is.. prio.. above.. mortal strike

#

WTH are we doing blizzard!?!?

fresh spire
#

Cleave is damn strong

white stratus
#

Somehow i never got the second spark

#

First week

fresh spire
#

It's the only thing tuned properly in arms

olive nest
#

Just do catch up shouldn’t matter

fresh spire
#

It has catchups

#

You should have 1 from tour. Then 2 from reset quests

white stratus
#

oh okay, i swear i did both quests the yielded it and i just never got it

olive nest
#

I only did the quest for doing all the renoun events

white stratus
#

other people online had similar issue

olive nest
#

No idea what the other one was

#

Just get it as catch up and do this weeks quest

fresh spire
#

Maybe wrong quest 🤷‍♂️. Can check on your currency tab for the dust. If it says 1/2 your missing a weekly one. If it's 2/2 your missing the world tour one

olive nest
#

Should be back to 3

white stratus
#

well it said 1/1 first week

fresh spire
#

It should say 1/2

#

Then maybe bug

white stratus
#

it does this week say 1/2

#

oh well dont matter if theres catchup

One day when Arms benefits from execute more than Fury does

Condemn me up ion

I’m waiting

fresh spire
#

So more worth to lean into ms damage

I read that as if you were speaking with Irish slang

“Me value plummets”

fresh spire

Welsh but close enough

olive nest

Then I realized

fresh spire

Basically our brothers in speaking weird along side the scots

FOOOUCKINELLL

LOL!

Amazing

We got a Scottish bloke in our guild. The way he pronounces stuff is class.

why am i having fun with arms after being fury for a long time monkahmm

Because arms is just superior

I like ur name as well

olive nest
#

Arms owns brother

#

Welcome

fresh spire
#

The issue is arms plays fine. Just numbers suck huge ass

#

Also bt prio slayer feels so wrong after years of raging blows

quiet bramble
#

MS hitting like wet noodle, 17th march better be sth good

fresh spire
olive nest
#

I thought about doing the same tbh

fresh spire
#

It feels even worse when I swap keybinds as I've had same keybinds for years and years for buttons

olive nest
#

Can’t have button mashing BT on ring finger

#

That tendon will be cooked with my spamming habit

twilit flare
#

is everyone enjoying arms? I feel like its one of the last "real" specs of warcraft. I hope they don't fucking gutter the class come tuning next week.

thick kelp
#

define real spec

twilit flare
#

where you attacks mean something

#

and dont just do flashy big damage

thick kelp
#

haha

twilit flare
#

We literally fight for our lives, each and every mob. We are the last true plahyers

thick kelp
#

Our attacks mean nothing and do no damage

twilit flare
#

no, when its the only way the boss dies, our attacks do mean something

#

just not what others can do

#

but comparison is the theft of joy

olive nest
#

I get what you mean

#

When you press mortal strike you can feel it

#

Similarly to when you cast a chaos bolt you can feel it

#

Vs classes doing all their damage as passive

smoky jungle
#

facts, feels like chewing glass

plucky scarab
#

Yo guys, Icy Veins and Wowhead rotation guides for Arms are significantly different now, which one do you follow?

twilit flare
#

unfortunatly I dont feel a mortal strike until i do 2 executes then 4 op or heroic strikes

#

I dont feel anything

white stratus
#

yeah wow is cooked

ivory niche
#

Just running m0s, aoe feels good, single target feels ass, is that the consensus?

wet current
#

anyone know of a resource that has an updated arms tell me when?

shadow ibex

probably looking for a TMW profile

arms is that terrible that is shame anymore is going something like complex from bliz

hekili stopped development, i assumed that it was because they put the nail in the coffin for all combat assist addons

wasn't tell me when the old dbm and bigwigs

im pretty sure it was a rotation assist

maybe im dumb and blind

I was a sophomore in college when wow launched in 04 and you can bet i was playing on launch day

minor gust

I was 6 in 04

I used tmw until mid

Was so easy to track anything I wanted

lunar hornet
#

okay so i tried arms today i currently main survival. why is there like 6 more aoe buttons

#

and also less dmg

#

im pressing so much more random shit i expect more dps

pulsar frost
#

I mean realistically its judt cleave

lunar hornet
#

no sweep strike?

#

or bladestorm

minor gust
#

Really only one aoe button that's cleave. It's just you still gotta press all your other buttons

#

Rest are cds

pulsar frost
#

I mean sure but you said aoe buttons. I do get you add cds to your hunter rotation

lunar hornet
#

is arms gonna get buffs?

sacred zodiac
#

🔮

pulsar frost
#

Nah only more nerfs

obtuse sluice
#

And cleave

pulsar frost
#

The day came where arms ravagering and not bs?

jaunty slate
#

Does arms do anything better than fury right now?

Ive been more drawn to fury for tankiness and im trying to figure out how much of a damage disparity needs to exist post hotfix for me to switch to arms.

latent moss
#

no

#

probably mass aoe at some insane target count

obtuse sluice
#

You can still pump with cleave and aoe

#

Its bosses and single target that arms falls behind

latent moss
#

i mean currently

#

arms is behind fury on 2t

#

which is insane

#

the "2t champion" as they called arms in alpha

#

most of slayers problems are tuning related

#

colossus on the other hand needs god

obtuse sluice
#

Cleave absolutely wrecks anything more than 2 targets

latent moss
#

thats the issue

#

every other source of aoe dmg got gutted

#

and cleave is all ur damage

minor gust
obtuse sluice
latent moss
#

u probably should play slayer if the relative difference between it and colo stays the same

minor gust
#

Don't bladestorm in pve

tall socket
#

ouch, this hurts to see

obtuse sluice
#

Ravager + cleave still does more aoe damage than bladestorm

#

Like cleave is basically your only hope for real damage until tuning

latent moss
#

at that point play colossus

#

cause u are losing all ur st

obtuse sluice
#

People are so funny on here

minor gust
livid cloak
#

Bladestorm is a single target cd tbh, and not even a good one at that

latent moss
#

ravager is a loss as slayer in both 8t and st

obtuse sluice
#

It’s gonna do less damage

tall socket
#

pally, augment

just hit lvl 87 with my alt, whats fastes way to get 90?

so i need to do it lvl 1 yes?

#

@sage badge how is arms doing

thick kelp
#

deswind is playing demolock

wooden lava
#

no way

thick kelp
wooden lava
#

this is heartbreaking

#

it's gg bro

nova marsh
#

Cuz evreyones raid lead said "chief if you gear arms youre trolling. Play anything else"

sage badge
wooden lava
#

If Deswind has left

#

there's no hope

#

numbers aside, does arms actually feel like it plays well?

#

I played it for like a whole day

#

and it felt so wonky

nova marsh
wooden lava
#

I'm wondering if I'm missing something

nova marsh
#

Na because blizz gaslight us into hope during alpha

wooden lava
#

have u guys spent some time on the spec on beta/live?

nova marsh
#

And then crushed it

wooden lava
#

i wanna know if the tier/better gear gives any noticeable improvement

#

pure gameplay wise

#

removal of IFTK without any compensatory changes feels so weird

#

i spammed a bunch of heroic runs and did some m0s

#

the colossus build is so weird

#

we lose literally ALL power in execute

#

obviously my gear being comprised of mastery and vers doesn't help

#

but holy fuck it feels bad

#

not taking your final apex talent is crazy

#

what's the rationale behind it? is it just numerically weak?

#

@thick kelp

latent moss
#

it causes ur cs to desync

#

since avatar isnt on it

shadow ibex
latent moss
#

both ava and cs are now on anger management so they are synced

minor gust
wooden lava
#

really?

#

i guess i gotta sit on the dummy a bit more

latent moss
#

needs more rage

wooden lava
#

i do like some of the changes

#

especially to unhinged

#

getting that garbage out of warrior talent trees was vital

minor gust
#

The rework to slayer executions stuff and no Jugg on top of SD proccing reap is basically all slayer needed to feel great

wooden lava
minor gust
#

Gameplay wise

latent moss
#

sd reap

#

s3 df my beloved

wooden lava
#

oh yeah sd reap is lit

minor gust
#

Makes all your buttons important

#

In all situations

latent moss
#

i prefer s3 df sd cause the big ass tc felt insane but reap is good too

#

reap is really tuned high as fuck

minor gust
#

Before SD was just gonna be forgotten in AOE unless you had 3 marks to consume which even then didn't feel worth it

latent moss
#

nerf cleave buff everything by 2 million%

minor gust
wooden lava
#

the warrior side of the tree feels so weird

#

Arms side*

minor gust
#

And cleave becomes priority in ST regardless of things like rava and ME

wooden lava
#

so many aoe oriented talents

#

and like fuck all for ST

latent moss
#

we still have 9 million aoe talents ye

#

still have to talent into cleave

minor gust
#

Yee that problem hasn't changed

proper moth
#

Combine MS and Cleave ez

latent moss
#

so in raid the problem remains

#

if there is any cleav eu just play fury automatically

wooden lava
#

aoe power being split into so many talents seems ridiculous

#

isn't there a lot of cleave this raid

latent moss
#

been that way since the initial rework in df

#

ye but taking aoe murders ur st

#

so fury deals more damage

#

broad strokes takes some time to get used to icl

#

i wasted ss a million times

#

wish it just stacked and ss had infinite duration

proper moth
#

I’m telling you guys my idea of making all of arms abilities work like cleave is the move

icy atlas
#

Or make it like MoP where SS has no cooldown. Though idk if Arms has the rage economy for it

latent moss
minor gust
#

Making abilities like MS and Exe passively cleave is nice for a separate non cleave build.

wind hatch
minor gust
#

Similar to DF season 2

latent moss
#

ever since slayer became a thing we've been crying about it

#

pre slayer u didnt have enough sd procs to actually game jugg

#

s3 df u could kinda if u were insanely lucky u could go into exe phase with a couple of stacks but not 15 xdd

latent moss
#

with ss having like

#

80% uptime

#

its almost passive

#

u waste a half gcd every now and then

#

not that annoying

minor gust
#

Yeah but talking more targets than 2

#

Like the choice node with powerful should be 3 target SS

#

Not extended SS when broad exists

latent moss
#

100%

restive ledge
#

Infinite stack ss

latent moss
#

8t

#

how stupid is this axaxaxaxax

proper moth
shadow ibex
#

rather make it shitty buff thing u can waste

latent moss
#

same way they refuce tactician

#

on cs

shadow ibex
#

much better gameplay

latent moss
#

cs on tactician*

shadow ibex
restive ledge
proper moth
#

We get notes on Friday right?

restive ledge
#

That was fun times imo

shadow ibex
#

wod had trinket as well it was an idea they had around for awhile

proper moth
#

Legion was just peak period

shadow ibex
#

it was warrior class trinket

shadow ibex
minor gust
#

Cleave in ST for both slayer and Colo is crazy

proper moth
#

When Warrior was the real execute classSighted

shadow ibex
#

tbh the cleave problem was there in tww imo

#

as early as s1

minor gust
#

Yup

wind hatch
#

is cleave in st for slayer too?

proper moth
#

I prefer hitting cleave over slam tbh

shadow ibex
#

colo numbers are fun but its pure mindless cleave spam

#

esp with the resets

#

if u cant cleave, MS if you cant MS, OP

proper moth
#

Make cleave turn into heroic strike lol

minor gust
wooden lava
#

With jugg gone, how is arms execute gonna hold up

minor gust
#

It's currently weaker than furys

#

But not because Jugg is gone

wooden lava
#

It already felt meh w jugg

#

So is it strictly worse off

restive ledge
#

They just want us to use 2 swords instead of one so badly

minor gust
#

Arms is pretty much not an execute spec rn

wooden lava
#

Cause vicious contempt ain't even that strong

minor gust
#

Exe just overnerfed

wooden lava
#

Fuuuuuuuuck

minor gust
#

If you wanna play an execute spec you play fury

wooden lava
#

Or sin

minor gust
#

Something something legion antorus rawr

icy atlas
#

I mean if Arms doesn’t get buffed, then yeah

#

It’d be a clear tell Blizzard would rather everyone play Fury lol

wooden lava
#

So what kind of buffs can we even get

#

This is looking cooked

minor gust
#

Whatever Blizz decides

wooden lava
#

This talent tree isn't really well designed

minor gust
#

My guess it's just a blanket aura buff nothing specific

#

We'll find out when they release notes tomorrow or Friday

wooden lava
#

Is there even a world where we do take 4th apex talent

#

Does lining up avatar w cs really matter that much

minor gust
#

Not unless they add avatar to it

latent moss
#

i think its within variance

#

u can sim it tho

minor gust
#

Or quadruple the cs cdr

wooden lava
#

Yeah I thought that too

latent moss
#

but its a worthless point

wooden lava
#

It could be insane for Colo if they do buff it

#

But I doubt they will

minor gust
#

Realistically they should just leave it alone for now. Not a big deal to not take it.

#

Then next patch rework It to increase next CS dmg amp

#

Instead of cdr

wooden lava
#

Will arms have an even flatter dmg profile now

#

It feels like it'll suffer a ton from downtime

restive ledge
#

Debating to do slayer or colossus

latent moss
#

slayer

minor gust
#

Nothing's really changed since TWW as far as flat vs burst goes for arms

latent moss
#

yeah

wooden lava
#

At least jugg made prog execute phase go hard

latent moss
minor gust
#

Till you lost your stacks

latent moss
#

fury is nice though i think

wooden lava
#

Now with avatar even more frequent, I imagine it's flatter

latent moss
#

am doing its thing having cds every 2 seconds but reck feels like a cd

#

esp now that we run ra and am at the same time

wooden lava
#

Putting am on warrior side was good

#

Not sure about this iteration of Am tho

minor gust
#

Not really

#

That actually accomplished nothing

wooden lava
#

Nobody took it when it got reworked

minor gust
#

All they did was swap am and avatar

wooden lava
#

How so

minor gust
latent moss
#

idk i wish am wasnt a thing on arms

wooden lava
#

I'm off my pc

#

Is avatar warrior side talent now

minor gust
#

Avatar is in every spec tree

latent moss
#

no its in spec trees

minor gust
#

They took am a talent in every spec tree and swapped it with avatar Essentially.

#

In Blizzs defense arms originally wasn't supposed to have avatar

#

But forum andies complained and now we're stuck with it

wooden lava
#

What would u have in its place

#

Deck?

#

Reck*

minor gust
#

Either a brand new arms specific CD or stronger tuning on demolish/bladestorm

#

Naked avatar no torments is not an interesting or meaningful button

wooden lava
#

True

#

It's just a second CS on a longer cd

#

It feels like arms lacks a good steroid

minor gust
#

Yup it just exists but ppl cried omg how is arms gonna do dmg without avatar!

wooden lava
#

The same way reck impacts fury

olive nest
#

Remove avatar and buff cs to replace the missing damage

wooden lava
#

Only cs is boringb

minor gust
#

Not if they buffed cs to actually do dmg

wooden lava
#

I wish they'd give a talent that actually altered arms' pace for a bit

minor gust
#

Imagine if CS actually did dmg similar to demo/bs

#

You would have very strong burst

#

Instead what cs for years is like 1% of your dmg

wooden lava
#

Yeah, but the fantasy aspect matters

minor gust
#

Maybe less

wooden lava
#

That's why avatar feels good to press

#

U get big and gray

minor gust
#

Avatar is thane now

#

We have a hero tree called colossus

#

And our Colossus smash does no dmg?

#

Just a debuff applier

#

It could be so much more than what it is now

#

But it's held back by things like avatar

wooden lava
#

Well

#

It really is held back by a shit dev

#

I don't think avatar would be bad to have if it did something else than just percent dmg

#

I had hope for ToM man...

#

Rip

waxen flicker
#

hey guys what stats are we prioritising on this spec?

minor gust
#

Personally I think ppl need to let go of avatar. Let Blizz have the opportunity to do something new

#

Let fury and prot have avatar. Not every spec needs to have the same stuff

shadow ibex
#

avatars pro is that it lasts pretty long

#

that's really all that makes it unique among dps cds

minor gust
slate briar
#

i heard we cleave in single target instead of MS? is that right?

minor gust
#

Idk where you heard that from, but wowhead guide is updated. Cleave is in ST priority but you are still pressing your other buttons

slate briar
#

right im saying as a prio, you cleave prio instead

olive nest
#

Rend(buff maintain)>Cleave>sudden death>mortal strike>dn

#

Fish said it early lol

minor gust
#

That ain't st

olive nest
#

Might be a cook

minor gust
#

He's saying ST

olive nest
#

Fish was talking about ST

minor gust
#

That sounds cooked af

olive nest
#

😂

#

Yeah maybe I miss understood

minor gust
#

Wowhead rotation is updated with cleave in prio I would just stick with that. Cleave very likely to be nerfed anyways hopefully enough slayer can ignore it in ST

#

But Colo is still stuck with cleave during ravager

minor gust
eternal edge
#

just tried fury
No reason to stay arms for ppl who doesn't care about switching spec
you can do anything easier and quicker that's insane

#

sadge

minor gust
#

We'll see when we get the tuning notes tomorrow or Friday

olive nest
#

I hope it’s tomorrow I’m fiending

minor gust
#

But very likely it's another season of fury prog

eternal edge
#

made a normal pray as arms
21s to kill the prey in the end

made a hard pray as fury

Its just udk is fucking awful when shit dies in 2 seconds when you need like 15 to deal most of your burst

Not much better. Also fomo rerollers always suck

Well I just cleared out the M0s for the week with the team. around 70k multi and 40k single for the majority of runs. I am hopeful next week that I come back with a vengeance 🙂

Arms is pretty fun to level with, the sound fx are 👌👌

#

HS sfx is mid sadge

#

Worse than slam for unknown reason

#

@obsidian otter any dps loss from not taking MP? monkahmm

jade ember
#

Looking at the hero talents before playing them I was kinda interested in HS and thought Fury's was really mid, but HS doesn't actually feel super good to hit and I like the feeling of back-to-back Ramps

quiet bramble
#

aoe and ST

#

im just lazy at stacking that

#

BL

fleet sinew
#

what kind of sustained dps are folks seeing on 5 target dummies?

quiet bramble
#

is it skill issue or i find stacking demolish is slower than it used to be

dire hinge
#

that part hasn't changed since like 2024.

#

but we're lower haste than before, and bonegrinder was removed

#

yee, if the MS crits

#

just your next MS

#

the first MS (with SS active) after a demolish usually gives 4-5 colossus might stacks though, yeah

#

3 if you're unlucky

#

i'll have to check the APL again but it's lower than before iirc

#

yeah in AoE we can send Demolish at 5 stacks or higher

minor gust
#

tldr whats the question

dire hinge
#

"colossus feels like we stack Might slower than before". Which is true while you're low crit and haste

#

it'll smooth out a bit as you gear

#

they moved stack generation off Bonegrinder (Ravager) and baked it directly into our MS crits, so while we're still gearing it'll feel kinda wonky for a bit

minor gust
#

yeah we lost a lot of extra cm generation with unhinged being gone so stack gen in opener is gonna be less. So that and with the dmg nerf to demo with more stacks its fine to send demo with not max stacks

dire hinge
#

yeah unhinged* rather sorry thank you

#

APL basically sends at 5 stacks, which is pretty easy to get in your opener at least.
Charge -> Rend -> Ravager -> Avatar/CS -> cleave x3-4 in a row -> MS -> Demo

minor gust
#

so like if you are entering a pack with 0 stacks do your opener charge rend rav ava wb cleave x4 and just send demo

#

you can a lot of the times squeeze an ms after x4 cleave

dire hinge
#

more haste will help a little there too hmmNod

minor gust
#

if you are going into a pack with 10 stack demo you can just send demo right away before your 4 cleaves

#

you will still get more than enough stacks in aoe to keep wb and demo aligned. We basically just lost the abillity to get a 10 stack demo from nothing.

quiet bramble
#

so it's not always pressuring urself with 10stacks demo?

minor gust
#

no especially not after the they nerfed the amount of dmg we get from per stack and buffed baseline demo

#

you just wanna fit demo inside CS debuff

quiet bramble
#

aight gladge

I did a test with colossus and slayer, colossus gave me less mobility to deal damage, so I really needed the tank's cooperation in making more stable packs. With slayer, I had more freedom in moving around to follow the packs from their formation to where the tank stops. And that's when it stops, because let's face it, tanking in key pugs isn't very strategic. Soon the slayer did more damage because the damage was more constant and there were fewer gaps for mistakes.

dire hinge
#

yee, you can still move with heroic leap mid-demo channel, but it's not exactly fun

minor gust
#

yup MS + cleave if theres 3 targets

#

in keys it might not be worth to do because the pack will live longer and you might actually need that SS so tbd there

#

but for your m0s you can 100% commit your SS early to build up a demo will tank gathers

dire hinge
#

honestly with Imp SS you get basically permanent uptime anyways

minor gust
#

oh especially if you play improved

#

ive been doing powerful

dire hinge
#

yeah with Broad Strokes

#

almost said bread strokes lmao

minor gust
dire hinge
#

yeah you might have a lapse of maybe a few GCDs, but it's pretty wild the uptime you get

minor gust
#

yeah colo can still get 100% uptime without imp sweep but you have to get full value out of both sweep from broad and reg

#

also finished my 2nd round of m0s and my warrior is allergic to weapons

#

also vessel rip didnt realize it was a pick up a thing trinket that shit sure is fun

#

wtb a WA that tells me when thing spawns plz

obsidian lance
minor gust
#

oof

dire hinge
#

Well, as they say, a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one

#

It's good to learn em both, and even fury (and prot). Tuning can always tip one into power over the others and it's good to have a decent understand of all of your options

dire hinge
#

human usually catches up with the stat passive

obsidian lance
#

I like pandaren arms animation

glacial pebble

so it really feels like arms does no damage. Damn i thought people were trolling

#

buffs tuesday cross my fingers

in ST sure aoe you still pump

#

at least in preseason m0s

glacial pebble
#

yeah

#

i've noticed

but when its a boss fight

jesus

i look at my damage and get jump scared

hopin for notes tomorrow if not gotta wait till Friday to see whats gonna happen for the 17th

anaconda malt liquor sad_cat

minor gust

yes its confirmed

dire hinge

they confirmed the next set of tuning will happen on the 17th, but there's no confirmation it impacts Arms

obsidian lance
#

Arms tuning: all dmg increase 3% hahahaha

dire hinge
#

nerf cleave, leave the rest the same

#

ship it

obsidian lance
#

Demolish dmg reduced 50%

minor gust
#

cant wait for blizz to fuck up and only aura buff arms

minor gust
#

so we get to watch cleave take over everything

#

an aura buff that doesnt come with a cleave nerf is gonna lead to some funny things

sage bison
#

Arms tuning :

Overpower and dreadnaught nerfed by 33%
Rend no longer causes a bleeding affect
Slam damage increased by 20%
Slam cost increased to 40 rage
Deepwounds now causes reverse damage to enemies (healing)
Cleave damage increased by 1%

I always felt rav = arms fury = bs

From how the specs work

prot ravager is cool..as its a passive autoproc

Being gcd locked in a spec that wants to empower spells feels bad

Its just if we had rav as slayer

We would love it

obsidian lance
mortal niche

transplating bs over to fury will always be a crime

slow saddle
#

No

mortal niche

as a generic dps button

slow saddle

Would be better

#

Then rav could give rage unhinged cdr

obsidian lance

My dream is a tier set bonus with focus on BS

..I dont think arms is ever going to get bs again

Guys exwcute phase as slayer would be godly

those days are gone

With rav

slayer hater til I die

slow saddle

I mean i like slayer in theory

mortal niche

it's just so...basic

#

uninspired

slow saddle

But lockin a spec behind 2 things destroys arms

Arms should be thane and col

Empowered lightning mortal strikes

I thought thane was going to be arms..but here we are

Big claps

And after playing it alot it would work better as arms tbh

Mainly coz it enhances something not build somethin brand new

slow saddle
#

I want a heavier execute profile

#

Like atm the execute spec in the game. Does like 10%? Morr dmg in execute

#

Thats dumbass

sage bison
#

we aint getting a gameplay rework level tuning, blizz got more important shit to worry about, like how to buff mage without it being better than UHDK

quiet bramble
#

blizz is out of idea for warrior, they gonna buff mage

dire hinge
#

yee and they usually do that in .5 patches

mortal niche
#

woah there, blizzard doesnt design specs to specialise anymore, wouldnt hope for too long

hushed pine
#

I doubt they'd rework Arms warrior at any point

slow saddle
#

Locks

#

I dont think we need rework at all

#

Its more they turned all the wrong knobs

#

When tuning just b4 prepatch

mortal niche
#

stuck between 3 (I guess 2 now without bleeds) visions

quiet bramble
#

execute color should be red okayge

obsidian lance
hushed pine
#

Maybe it's just me but I've always hated what they did to CSmash and Rend

mortal niche
#

now or 5years ago?

slow saddle
#

We expected a rage buff b4 prepatch. Instead got nerfed 2 below tank dmg

obsidian lance
#

Tuning arms:

Cleave color now is a green, like a skill photo

dire hinge
#

true, rend used to checks notes also just be a bleed

hushed pine
slow saddle

It was always a cd

Wdym?

On a 20 sec with autos resetting it every 2 swings or so?

quiet bramble

rotational? monkahmm

slow saddle
hushed pine
obsidian lance
#

If arms was a ret pally, we gain a rework every xpac

slow saddle
#

It had longer cd and wasnt that often

mortal niche
slow saddle
#

But yes a cs that
1 gave us more burst. Would fuck
2. A reset would fit current chaos

hushed pine
#

It felt more impactful, is my point

slow saddle
#

Yes but correct me if im wrong

#

We did like 80% more dmg in cs window

#

It was bound into mastery r ?

mortal niche
#

when

slow saddle
#

When it had rando resets

obsidian lance
#

We play with arms even though we are nerfed and we are still happy, paladin players get 1 nerf and are already crying for the entire season

mortal niche
#

yeah a secondary mastery procced more often, more sudden deaths, more resets

slow saddle
#

Which means an overall more bursty profile ALWAYS feels better

hushed pine
slow saddle
#

Like if cs did 10 times the dmg atm and made dmg spike

hushed pine
#

It was tied to mastery in Legion

slow saddle
#

They could delete avatar

mortal niche
#

atp idk what the mastery even is I assume it changed right

slow saddle
#

Now ita just flat dmg %

#

Basicly versa

#

Thats fine tbh

#

Rather spec is fun, than being tied down.by some half arsed attempt at a fun mastery

mortal niche
#

it is kinda funny that not all 4 apex talents are taken

slow saddle
#

I mean it says it all

hushed pine
#

If 4th apex was better then maybe

mortal niche
#

"capstone"

slow saddle
#

They 2 x the hs rate decrease a tslent from 5 to 2 sec

mortal niche
slow saddle
#

And we didnt take it at 5 sec

obsidian lance
#

Capstone, because u dmg will be caped haha

slow saddle
#

A new feature should be op

#

Forced pick

hushed pine
#

You will have misaligned cds and you will love it.

slow saddle
#

Exactly

#

Who has tried arms st blizzars and said

#

Man i love when i get cdr lucky

mortal niche
#

woah there, thinking too far ahead

slow saddle
#

Then i gotta wair

mortal niche
#

we dont do that here

slow saddle
#

For ava//cs//demo to align

#

So im wasting said cdr

quiet bramble
#

i believe blizz devs just play with single button rotation and called it a nerf

slow saddle
#

Problem is as usual 1 cdr = fun and good, 3 different cdrs = a mess

#

Specs that get cdr removed usually plays better

#

Static cds are always better

#

Look fdk when ice cap was removed

obsidian lance
slow saddle
#

Problem also is. Cdr based in different things

#

Cdr based on rage cdr based on crit cdr based on hs procs

#

To make this align ... good luck🤣🤣

#

Who thought this would work

#

U get 2 much crit demo 2 fast. 2 little 2 slow.

obsidian lance
#

Arms is too many chance procs, we need reduce this procs and make more stable procs

slow saddle
#

No

#

Procs is god tier

#

Thats a very good and defined playstyle

#

Different from other classes

#

Cdr is the culprit

obsidian lance
#

But not a chance procs. We need more 100% procs when we use a skills

slow saddle
#

Nah

sage bison
slow saddle
#

I will say rage + new tactician is a mess🤣

#

Old tac = execute always resets op so not so scary now random 30%

#

Bad choice for stable rotation resets

hushed pine
#

Rage gen fucking blows

obsidian lance
#

We need more reset procs. Maybe CS get 2 stacks SD procs

#

And with slayer we know the BS increased by this SD procs

hushed pine
obsidian lance
#

I would like talents that give small percentages of fixed status to take rework, it's not cool to spend points on something obvious, you have to spend 1 level to get something, 1% critical, it seems lazy to me

slow saddle
#

Ideally class three geta dk treatment

#

Less dmg nodes

slow saddle
#

Also op needs to give rage at sub 35%

hushed pine
#

I'm okay with something like Impale

#

That thing has always been there

#

Not okay with something like "you get 3% leech"

#

Like wow! This is worthless!

hushed pine
slow saddle
obsidian lance
#

The final tree nodes, must be the best talents, not a " tactican get more 5% chance to activate"

slow saddle
#

Spec tree ok 2 have some dmg nodes

It was nerfed from 10%

Wasnt good at 10€

Gee, I'm updating my bingo card

Gonna add Tactician nerf to it

obsidian lance

Y also nerf guardian wrh

Does more st than dps specs

#

I think 100% worst patch tuning wise ice played is this

#

I can understand aoe being a mess

#

But st being this messy is insanity

#

10-20% gap ok understandablr

#

But 100% not bug based gaps

#

Insane

obsidian lance
#

My bingo card:

nerf rend in 20%
nerf demolish 20%
all dmg increase 3%
Nerf master of warfare bonus dmg in 50%
Nerf tactician chance 25% (was 30%)
Nerf cleave 5%
Nerf MS n HS 5%

Developer notes: arms is too stronger, so we need nerf then to adapt on new meta okayge

On another note, i hate all ppl that abused kp bug

I keep reading a lot of doom and gloom on arms, I'm a relatively new player and I'm interested in the slow harder hitting fantasy of arms, but after reading lots of posts on reddit about arms I'm a bit hesitant to put in the time level and learn.
Are the reddit posts exaggerating the doom of arms?
If they are not, do you think its still worth it to play arms regardless?

right now poopookaka but we all are in love with arms. give it a try and hope for good buffs 😄

just because its capped gcd doesnt mean the apm is the same as every other class

I quite like flatter dmg profiles. I tried out ret paladin and I just felt so weak without wings, same when I tried sub rogue, outside of shadow dance its like 0 damage

Go fury then

Super flat

Cursed profile

tepid swan

Flat is by definition worst dmg profile u can have

By far

i like flat dmg. better than rng based dmg

Is there a good mythic+ colossus build that focuses more on ST damage and take advantage of fatality without being troll

fresh spire
#

Nope

#

St on colossus is just trolling in general. Fatal in keys isn't worth dropping tons of aoe for

safe jay
#

apart from Mugzee was there ever a really good case for fatality :(?

fresh spire
#

Given most the aoe talents aid it in St

safe jay
#

it was old fatality then to be fair

fresh spire
#

I mean fatal works differently to before. 5 max stacks and pops with execute so generally it's much better than it was.

safe jay
#

yeah of cause

#

but on mugzee it was nice okayge

#

do we talent into the current iteration with some build? Slayer? i dont currently have all the build in my head

vapid pine
#

Wowhead has it on slayer builds

#

It's just very different now, used to be an execute niche, now it's just another thing that makes us want to press mortal strike

safe jay

interesting. I didnt looked at Arms for now. Waiting and hoping for 17. sadge

i dont want another fury tier sadge

Fatal will be used in raid where aoe isn't needed

Likely first point we drop for cleave/colateral when needed

safe jay

Kinda insane that the bottom of the tree looks like this

What's the point of "capstones" if we take everything but one button lol

And when they're weaker talents than random shit further up

Would have taken master tact more if they didn't nerf it too

From what I know from Warbreaker, Fishy is a very clever meathead. What exactly is the reason we only skill 3/4 Apex? Desynchronization? Once again?

Cant be intended lol

if avatar was on it too it would be good

perhaps too good but meh

4/4 is usable on aoe. But you tank so much st dps it's not worth it.

just aura buff around

All builds are around 3/4 as they flow well and try to keep as much of the kit it can

Too many desynced cds

rotationally its good

but avatar and ravager are pointless
