so for m+ would you recommend Thane or Slayer?

uncut yacht
glacial thunder
#

oh screw i posted in arms damn ssry

slow saddle
#

By far

hallow quail
#

Thane, we lost reap on sudden

slow saddle
#

Not yet but will

#
  • also get a tiny nerf slayer
#

And gap was lile 3% st

timid elk
#

Hope they decide not to change reap. Proc feels good, not even talking about the numbers. Visual and audio are a nice bonus during the rotation

slow saddle
#

Again just remove reap

#

From everything

#

But sd

#

And its a fuckin win

#

Like that would make sense

olive nest
#

Nah fam 15% +apex put us at 90k easily room for another 10%

steep osprey
viscid grail
#

did balance not get more? with the aura and ability buffs

hallow quail
#

Guys we are coping with this yet stuff lmao

steep osprey
#

Nobody is coping

#

It's just the truth

#

We didn't lose it yet

hallow quail
#

Okok I understand

steep osprey
#

As soon as it is live on the servers, we would have lost it

slow saddle
fast wharf
#

yeah needs an additional 25%

untold trench
olive nest
#

When our single target was 74k the buff could have easily been 25%

untold trench
#

Nah, that would make the 2t niche too strong

steep osprey
#

Is there even a 2target boss in the raid?

untold trench
#

Better reduce ST a bit to be safe

olive nest
#

Right because sweep has no way to be adjusted so fuck arms ST perma

untold trench
#

Remove a 18-20% and arms is in the perfect spot

strong void
#

What we thinking for talents to get apex? Getting rid of bloodletting?

Let the spec be good at 2 target what’s the problem

No?

so it becomes a domino nightmare

slow saddle

Sweep now 65%

#

Solved

faint tree
#

yet somehow they've managed to tune frost mage cleave 🤔

slow saddle
#

Like tuning 2t cleave is np

uncut yacht
bleak arrow
# slow saddle Sweep now 65%

sweep is up 100% easiily anyways, just make it a passive and you're always doing aoe and tune as needed, almost silly its even a button

uncut yacht
#

they actually spend more than 2 seconds per patch

#

on it

lyric hound
#

sweeping should be attached to CS via talent choice so you can tune ST seperately

slow saddle
#

Sweep being 100% is prob not smart no

#

Dmg and uptime

olive nest
#

I’m all for passive sweep but the problem is they’ll just never let the ST be good which is bull but wcyd

uncut yacht
#

i dont really get why tho, 2t bosses are so rare

slow saddle
#

I mean sweep at 75%

#

Would solve that

#

Broad strikes should prob give 16 stacks and remove sweep from bars

#

So uptime on sweep isnt 100%

#

But u get s good burst ik cs

white stratus
#

after reading the patch notes i think imma just reroll ret paladin

pliant crypt
#

ret pala it was already good even before buffs

olive nest
#

I’ll never re roll but I sure will piss and moan to the void of nothing ness whenever it’s in a poor state

white stratus
#

like think about it, it even has a talent to knockback people similar to dragon charge, freedom, wings , ranged attacks, heals, lay on hands, 2 immune bubbles, 1 reduces damage and does dmg on explode like why even bother with shitty warrior fr

pliant crypt
#

the problem is arms doent have role in this game and they destroy all base line skills they nerf and avatar its not remove root anymore

minor gust
#

Arms has its roles

#

It's just severely undertuned

faint tree
#

somebody has to make the rest of the dps look good

pliant crypt
#

the skills feels laging dmg is trash and in pvp they must spam heal on you cose its like victim

faint tree
#

Arms feels great in general, though heroic strike feels awkward. We just need a bit of tuning

pliant crypt
#

and dont make the mistake and go open world pvp us an arms you die from aoe skills from other classes they dosent need to target you

deft osprey
#

Does the 4th apex point change make us actually take it now?

uncut yacht
#

burden heavier than Bolvars frfr

strong void
# steep osprey Yes

But what are we dropping in M+? I’m a new warrior admittedly and fury is cool and all, but spent yesterday slapping target dummies and doing some M0s and I think I’m convert to arms. I get it now. Yes dmg may be not amazing, but damn does it feel good slapping shit with demolisher

U take only the 15% aura or u add the new apex talent ?

They know our avg procs

hence it really isnt amazing

fresh spire

most ppl that dont know woulda assumed hey +15% to CS must be good

No I assumed we could break 90k on 6-9%

I aint gonna sit down and let them make the worst change they could possibly do

World of Warcraft Forums

What exactly is the logic behind this change? I’m no rocket scientist, but what do you gain from nerfing Arms in its disgustingly pitiful state. Not only is it a nerf, but it’s taking away one of the few good changes you’ve made to the Slayer talent tree. What is our dev doing? There’s no logic, no consistency, and no fun in what’s ...

#

still by far the 2nd most popular 12.05 thread

#

its worth a shot

#

Jw- as a prot player who has been asked to offspec to fury or arms, i assume arms buffs are not good enough to roll arms over fury? i would prefer arms but dps isnt looking good vs fury

dim basalt
#

Whats going on in the frost mage thread lol

minor gust
#

just a bunch of mages yapping away like no tomorrow

dim basalt
#

I was expecting a thread thats just slightly more popular

#

But that thread is on fire

nova marsh
#

Genuinely is it bad

#

That I feel like the reap changes goes against their stated goals for hero trees

minor gust
#

not really if they pull off slayer likes WW and colo likes cleave

#

but its really hard to pull off WW without it devolving into ww spam

#

need to bring back SOS WW PLZ

nova marsh
#

No I mean like

#

Its harder to keep a spec viable to any degree when one point is completely dead on st fights. And also 2 target as well no?

fresh spire
#

i think the issues is less that MS has been removed but SD has been removed. they need to keep execute relevant at all aspects in slayer, both st and aoe.

If ww/cleave is tuned for reap and SD still procs it then thats fine.
But losing every reason to press Sudden death in aoe both for damage and CDR is just gone, its not worth using that gcd unless your hardcore rage starving or out of overpower charges

nova marsh
#

Thats....silly

dim basalt
#

My god I love T3

fresh spire

dim basalt
#

I had to create a gnome warrior to get that sword

#

Looks good ingame

minor gust
fresh spire
#

Blade storm can also be tuned better with reap removed from ms

minor gust
#

the other ones have potential for some positive outcomes

dull cosmos
#

Searching for some hopium here. I know that numbers aren't looking awesome. But with execute damage, burst AoE with BS/Col, and easy, strong cleave - will Arms actually perform fairly OK in the season 1 raid context?

nova marsh
#

Also like better idea

#

Just make sd only trigger it if ww or ss are active

minor gust
fresh spire
#

bad idea, as you would use broad for st with sweep perma up

nova marsh
#

Same for fury

#

Like warrior is a cleave class

fresh spire
#

dont think its a good change, 2 target would scale way too much. like archi said, they need to push slayer strikes to be strong for ST and reap for aoe, not both and vice versa.

the change they have proposed has some flaws around the power of reap in regards that ww can be spammed.
but the main issue is they need to satisfy the requirement to push sudden death in high target content that bladestorm is worth getting back faster

nova marsh
#

In that case we need a new talent thats shared with reap

minor gust
fresh spire
#

even then, sometimes you only have 1 stack of executioner which is 5 seconds cdr, 🤷‍♂️

minor gust
#

yeah its not like TWW when u can just wait till 3 stacks of MFE

steep osprey
#

If they make the CDR strong enough, you're gonna wanna press it on AoE

minor gust
#

not with the way our bladestorm CDR works now

#

it quickly becomes too much

#

the easiest solution is just giving SD some sort of aoe

#

it doesnt have to be reap it can very easily be the DF S3 tier

steep osprey
#

Or rework Reap

#

Slayer in general

dim basalt
minor gust
#

seems like they wanna go down the route of Reap = aoe Slayers strike = ST/prio

spring vale
#

Isnt bladestorm cdr kind of annoying anyway because it gets desyncd from ava and colossus smash too

steep osprey
nova marsh
steep osprey
#

I don't think most people want that

fresh spire
#

i am of the opnion its time for colossus to get reworked out of bleeds and more into mortal strike changes

minor gust
minor gust
#

Ppl want their "hard hitting abillities"

fresh spire
#

surely buffed bleeds with mortal wounds in .5

nova marsh
#

Like genuinely

#

If bliz cant balance us like this

#

Then give us a fucking rework

#

Or they can read my name

minor gust
#

I would assume DW gets buffed if they go through with removing cleave from mortal wounds

fresh spire
#

think they need to somewhat balance deep wounds enough that colossus doesn't want to play around execute, but its a super fine line

nova marsh

we would never deep wound tab as they stack

if you enjoy poe 2, you would enjoy poe 1 more

the real truth

yeah Its just a lot to learn and pick up. I like kinda learning poe with poe2 as the game gets updates

fresh spire

i hope helldivers gets some nice big updates, the invasion for earth was fun

steep osprey
#

I used to play PoE2 more because I could understand it better. It's not as convoluted in terms of it's systems. But as soon as I started figuring out more regarding PoE1, I started to enjoy it more.

PoE2 has a lot of issues IMO

Cyberstan was awesome too

fresh spire

poe2 needs time to age

steep osprey

That's true

but even the skills in PoE2 are worse

fresh spire

poe1 got like what, 15 years of content or something now

steep osprey
#

It's a lot more boring

#

The endgame is monotonous

Play Mace Warrior in PoE2 and 1

It's light years behind

Mace in PoE2 plays like dogshit

fresh spire
#

i usually play slams, but they nerfed them this league so went to try something new

steep osprey
#

Me too but that wasn't the reason I tried something new

#

I want to try something different

#

I could have played bleed slams, that one didn't really get nerfed

#

But I've been playing Slams like 4 leagues in a row

It's gotten boring

I'm playing Shock Nova

i still love slams, shits tanky and does big dam

steep osprey

I still haven't gotten it so I'm playing with Firestorm rn

steep osprey

I got the furthest with Slams

#

T15 I think

#

I'm kind of new to PoE

#

So I haven't really played that much

fresh spire

first league i played to learn shit i played EA arrow totems, so your whole goal was to just dodge and let turrets shoot, likely the most fun ive had in any build

I can't remember the first league I played in

I think I played detonate dead

learn so much on how bosses work when you dont have to give any shits about your damage and its alwasy just pumping

Whirling Assault aint the same

Poe2 needs more melee weapons period

last POE2 update I played was a Whirling Assault build, It was fun but just not the same as a classic whirlwind

steep osprey

Yeah it has very little melee weapons

#

It has only staves and maces, no?

rose ibex
#

Strength adjacent ones in particular

steep osprey
#

Yeah str only has mace

#

and mace is horrendous lol

#

Slowest build ever

rose ibex
#

I always play warrior anyways

steep osprey
#

Compare Leap Slam of PoE2 to the one from PoE1

#

lmao

#

it's hilarious

rose ibex
#

Warrior feels like how the game was meant to be played

#

Its like they made the warrior first then the other classes came in and broke the mold

steep osprey
#

Well, that's what they all say but everyone else is much faster

rose ibex
#

Its true

steep osprey
#

and mobs are so fast you're cooked

steep osprey
#

It's obvious that Warrior was designed first

#

then they kind of pulled back from that philosophy and forgot to update Warrior accordingly lol

#

@minor gust Watch them add something like Cyclone and make it miserable to keep up

minor gust
#

From what I hear when people compare POE1 and 2 It wouldnt surprise me

rose ibex
#

I think warrior will feel much better once swords, axes, and flails get released

#

And ill admit I ALWAYS play warrior

steep osprey
#

I'm very excited for Swords

#

Probably more than anything else

rose ibex
#

Hes clunky and slow but its still what I prefer

steep osprey
#

What are some skills associated with Swords in PoE1?

#

Cyclone?

short oasis
#

Where does it say that we get a 15% dmg buff?

rose ibex

Warrior just has more problems to solve than other classes

Blade Flurry

rose ibex
#

Yesh

So we get a 15% dmg buff, but they are still killing slayer in m+?

rose ibex
#

I think each and every poe2 melee weapon will have some kind of slam

minor gust
steep osprey
#

The latter won't be a thing for a while

rose ibex
#

I think axes are going to be very slam and strike heavy

steep osprey
#

Yeah Axe can be a slam variant

#

You can slam with Axes in PoE1

rose ibex
#

Cleave as well

#

I think they will play with having certain skills cross over to other weapons

steep osprey
#

I didn't know Flails were a thing

#

At least they don't exist in PoE1?

short oasis

much more fun than colossus

Going into Midnight, Arms’ overall gameplay was a great improvement over TWW—aside from issues like rage starvation and being reliant on having a shaman friend at all times.

Instead of towers, you'll have those consumables

does anyone know if battlelord not being in the CDM is a bug/oversight?

steep osprey

I don't think that's an oversight

#

You can just have MS in your CDM and it will reset the CD and glow up

#

That's basically Battlelord, you don't have to look at the buff bar

halcyon valve
halcyon valve
#

critcake i never wanted this

#

i just fucked around

fleet sinew
#

in the new apl, in execute phase, tracking battlelord matter for deciding between overpower and execute
with these lines:
actions.slayer_execute+=/overpower,if=talent.fierce_followthrough&!buff.battlelord.up&rage<90
actions.slayer_execute+=/execute,if=rage>40|buff.sudden_death.up
actions.slayer_execute+=/overpower

minor gust
#

you should read what battlelord does first

#

before you look into the apl

gusty oxide
fleet sinew
#

yeah it resets MS but also reduces the cost of MS

slow saddle
#

And we lack rage

#

So

fleet sinew
#

yeah, so it is important to track battlelord then

slow saddle
#

I mean not rly?

#

Keep ms on cd

#

If u can press ms, id say peess

dim basalt
#

I mean do these conditions add any dps?

#

Unless its somewhat significant its not really worth caring

slow saddle
#

I mean i dno i just read it as press ms if u can?

Battlelord reset = ms csn be presswd

Only it has a better aoe

# floral ledge

This is single target correct? So in 2nd place demo has 116.8k dps and slayers are at 88.6k? So literally a ~30% gap between us and the 2nd best on the list?

Also seems like the average across DPS classes is roughly hovering around 100k. Are we really ~12% below the average DPS range after the 15% buff kicks in from the 17th???

scenic cedar
fleet sinew
#

in execute, you only ms with 2 stacks of executioner's precision
so the apl logic is saying if you already have battlelord, try to execute instead
so that you might reach those 2 stacks

slow saddle
#

Ok so again trackin battelord changes nothin

dim basalt
#

Do a sim and overwrite the APL with your suggestion and see what happens

#

If its a very minor gain its not worth adding as it just bloats the APL

#

Usually there are a lot of different conditions that just get trimmed down towards release

slow saddle
#

Coz we wanna be able 2 hit number

#

In theory

dim basalt
#

Just because a lot of things are not worth doing or end up as a loss due to player error

#

Didnt Fury have like 30+ conditions before trimming or so

#

Because sarri went ham

Totally agree

I dont want to know how its built considering they dont let you enter a custom id

Can't you just put your racial ability on an action bar and enlarge it?

put it close to the middle of your screen?

Ew.

under your name frame?

Why? They made a perfectly good tool that uses the same spell data base

steep osprey

There's nothing weird about that, I've been doing a lot of that

ArcUi has a gross work around I can use

But like, really man how hard is it to put a racial in there

why does there need to be so much time between pulls and before bosses in all these dungeons, really killin the vibe

Just give me my WeakAuras back T-T

arms doesnt even do 90k

so it has been new changes just weird arms updated but not fury when both were like blanket identical buffs basically

# dim basalt Thats almost every spec

ret is by far the worst offender. it's regard ez mode and that's by design. so new people can pick up the game, play the heckin white knight and just faceroll. i will say though that as a benchmark for how specs should play ret is well designed. why should a spec have a complex rotation if it underperforms compared to one that's so braindead like ret?

dim basalt
#

There are no complex rotations

#

And good sim dps != good in actual content

unique steppe
worldly rivet
#

It's kind of hard to mess up on Ret. They bake in a lot of safety nets haha.

dim basalt
unique steppe
#

arms requiring you to be in melee range to do 100% of your rotation for example. in TWW ret let you do something like 80% of your rotation from range

worldly rivet
#

Like a talent automatically casting Avenging Wrath with Wake of Ashes.

unique steppe
worldly rivet
#

Gaining holy power through passive AAs.

unique steppe
#

ret automates a good chunk of your rotation to smooth things

#

name me something, anything in the ret playstyle that has the awkward and unecessary GCD when you press sweeping strikes

unique steppe
wary steppe
#

Are these metrics with new buffs ?

dim basalt
#

Theres just no complexity in this game and there hasnt been in a while with the exception of Conduit WW last season

unique steppe
#

such as, lining up cooldowns

#

ret automates this, like 904gators said

mortal rivet
#

Even fury and arms you have decisions; ret you just hit what’s available since your generators have a cd

worldly rivet
dim basalt
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

unique steppe
dim basalt
#

And most of the time theres no reason to mess them up

mortal rivet
#

sin back in DF was like that

worldly rivet
#

Fire mage doesn't exist off CD. Outlaw gets punished for poor RtB tracking and CP wastage.

mortal rivet
#

If you fucked your CDs you just did nothing

worldly rivet
#

Ret doesn't get punished for anything.

dim basalt
#

I mean if your damage pattern depends on your cds and you fuck it up thats really not a layer of complexity, is it?

#

Thats just not knowing your spec well

unique steppe
unique steppe
# worldly rivet Ret doesn't get punished for anything.

it doesnt get punished for not lining up cd's because its automated for you, it doesnt punish you for not being in melee since you can do a lot of your rotation from range, and you even have a cheat death with the free wog or fol when you are gonna die. although that might be gone, its been a while since i played

dim basalt
#

Cheat death doesnt exist anymore iirc

unique steppe
dim basalt
#

I believe only ppal has that now

mortal rivet
dim basalt
#

If youre entirely useless outside of cds and you cant execute that one short window well theres not much to say

#

And in pretty much every case its not hard to execute

unique steppe
#

ret automates it, other specs dont

#

you've just proved my point

mortal rivet
dim basalt
#

If you wanna consider it a layer of complexity then you do you, I dont

unique steppe
#

yeah you need to time everything for certain packs, bosses etc. ret is just "go" all the time. no planning needed

unique steppe
mortal rivet
#

I’ll be honest I’m not sure if you’re arguing ret is simple or everything is simple

dim basalt
#

Everything is simple

unique steppe
dim basalt
#

Theres absolutely nothing you cant build muscle memory for

mortal rivet
#

Everything is simple yes but some things are more simple than others

unique steppe
maiden moat
#

someone has a link to that doc with dps ?

dim basalt
worldly rivet
#

He's acting like we are all automatons. Sometimes things are out of your control like other party members not doing mechanics or the healer losing focus. Some classes are punished hard for not having perfect rotations.

obsidian otter
maiden moat
mortal rivet
unique steppe
#

thats a layer of complexity because you need to plan ahead

dim basalt
#

That very heavily depends on the context

#

In a high key or mythic raid you will always end up doing the same

mortal rivet
#

Unless you get mechanics randomly

#

I miss long arms

dim basalt
#

In a perfect world specs who need to work harder get compensated with higher damage but its just unrealistic

#

I couldnt care less about rets being good, I dont think they will see a lot of use

#

And they have a bad rep anyway lmao

mortal rivet
#

I don’t think they should have less damage cause they’re simple

steep osprey
#

I agree

mortal rivet
#

I just don’t want them to think that they’re playing anything less than an easier class

steep osprey
#

I've always thought it was a weird opinion

#

Just because a spec is easy to play doesn't mean they can't be really strong

dim basalt
#

It doesnt matter that you bring a ret because of good damage when they dont use their utility well

mortal rivet
#

^^^

dim basalt
#

And thats the biggest issue with rets, 1/10 rets is good

steep osprey
#

Isn't that the case for all classes

dim basalt
#

Being good at ret is still somewhat hard

mortal rivet
#

You don’t know what you’re going to get when you invite a Ret

dim basalt
#

If you wanna use all of their kit

mortal rivet
steep osprey
#

That's true

mortal rivet
#

The ceiling is much higher

dim basalt
#

Ret is the dps with the most externals I think

steep osprey
#

Ret has a lot of different abilities they can use for the team

mortal rivet
#

Lay on hands, heals, cleanse, blessings etc

#

So many possibilities

dim basalt
#

I hope we get some good use of Interpose ragey

obsidian otter
#

If you wanna be the best pug dps you can be ret is prolly best bet. Has aoe interupt stuns aoe damage loh that can save a tank or healer bop for healer if they agro or a dps freedom for roots/slows a damage wide mitigation has easy rotation that isn’t to complex and cooldowns to manage and can save itself on hectic pulls. Prolly has the most utility that actually can help groups that struggle. Prolly why so many play it

#

Just most don’t use them 😆

Does lay on hands actually REMOVE the axe embedded in the Rets skull or do they just run around healthy with an axe embedded in their skull?

so wait

dks crying for a raid buff when you have grip was the most insane thing of all time btw

nova marsh

besides

Leeme ask you

#

grip unironically a bigger raid dps increase > any other raid buff

nova marsh

name a fight from evrey tier where grip is mandatory. Not nice to have, MANDATORY

Start from legion at least

there are quite a bit icl

i didnt play legion or bfa

Also, I'm not counting abom limp

nova marsh

I'm still trying to understand where all the damage for Wildstalker is coming from

just like warr utility

dks are invincible, mobile as fuck, amz is a broken raid defensive, ams is a broken self defensive, they are typically the highest dps spec, but yo we also need a raid buff (we have death grip)

Mobile as fuck

I am saying

that I don't like DK mobility or think it's that good

I'm with this guy

DA is horrible

#

Aside from knockbacks

stable fiber

good thing you dont really need DA anymore

steep osprey

DK is slow as hell

If it's not riders

stable fiber

since you can use most buttons from 40 yds away

30*

nova marsh

if ur UDK

rustic creek

you know what you're signing up for when you select red class

steep osprey
#

Frost DK doesn't exist I guess

nova marsh
#

yeah being slow is part of it

#

Even riders dosen't feel like good mobility to me

steep osprey
#

Yeah, Riders is good but it's not that mobile either

nova marsh
#

Idk maybe cuz it's just....going from shaman where you can screw off in 2 seconds flat vs dk feels bad

steep osprey
#

I'd rather play warrior than dk

#

In terms of mobility

#

Any day

nova marsh
#

I miss ghost wolf. Might bring enhance back

rustic creek
steep osprey
#

Some people do that

#

Eat crackers when they're thirsty

steep osprey
#

Wraith Walk is horrendous

#

Honestly I think DA should just be Rider's Charger baseline

#

I don't dare if it's part of the hero talent

nova marsh
#

I wouldn't even like it that much if was tbh

#

Mobility wise yes I'd rather play literally anything else

#

Even outlaw feels better

steep osprey
#

It works better since it parallels paladins MS ability

steep osprey
#

Outlaw is very fucking mobile

nova marsh
#

yeah but if you use both hooks you can get SOL

steep osprey

Sprint, a lot of MS from talents

Grappling hook

You have to cast flash heal to get a 10% DR

Which mage spec did you level? Frost?

warped solstice

Frost feels the best for leveling cuz you get your Glacial Spike really fast when not in combat.

#

Can absolutely delete stuff.

stable fiber
#

arcane blast does way too much damage

#

stay 4 charges pretty much on every mob, only use barrage if u have ball charges + proc, use cds on big packs or tanky mobs

#

i only know how to play arcane, coolest spec for me

limber dirge
#

They're all good. You just 1-2 shot every mob with frost as well.

warped solstice
#

Arcane was for sure second best. But Frost with a FoF proc can sometimes literally one shot quest mobs with a Glacial Spike + Ice Lance.

#

Two shot, I guess. But they go out at the same time.

stable fiber
#

they lowkey gutted arcane

warped solstice
#

Arcane still feels pretty good when you clearcast triple arcane orb.

Frost feels better IMO.

you wont

the spec wont be good just because it does really good in a 5t aoe sim

#

even though in actuality it actually does pretty good in most dungeons this tier, the issue is infact it does 0 boss damage

proper moth
#

yeahhh

stable fiber
#

you fix the boss damage issue and the spec will be relevant almost gurateed imo

#

as long as they leave the aoe untouched

#

the issue is it might not fit into the meta comp which is mostly int based

#

but it all kinda depends on tuning

(it most certainly doesnt fit into the meta comp rn)

where can you find M+ of that

this sheet has old warrior numbers though

and both specs went up quite a bit

these where a bit ago though so something else could have changed in the sim

I been playing survival hunter and guardian Druid lately. They both have an ability/skill that does a shit ton of dmg and feels so good to press.
For survival it’s (taken down), that ability has like around 1k atk power scaling, yes it’s a cooldown but it’s a hefty feeling button to press.
For guardian Druid, it’s (raze), when u press that button u just see ur dmg shoot up in an instant, the feed back the sound, all of it feels hefty.
I’ve always said that I play arms because I prefer the slow and methodical play-style where I don’t spam buttons but each press feels heavy and hits hard, but I’ve come to realise now that’s not at all the case anymore. Mortal strike doesn’t feel like it used to. Execute doesn’t either. The only ability that still feels good to press is bladestorm. Colossus smash is cool too but it’s more of a set up ability to allow the other ¿heavy hitting? skills to do even more dmg. Demolish was something I looked forward to so much when I first heard about it but the class itself just doesn’t work with it rn, with the desyncs and all, ain’t fun after the first rotation

arms needs haste because of stupid AM - move it to prot tree, we are slow bois clueless
