colossus?
oh screw i posted in arms damn ssry
Thane, we lost reap on sudden
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
Again just remove reap
From everything
But sd
And its a fuckin win
Like that would make sense
Nah fam 15% +apex put us at 90k easily room for another 10%
We didn't lose it YET
did balance not get more? with the aura and ability buffs
Guys we are coping with this yet stuff lmao
Okok I understand
As soon as it is live on the servers, we would have lost it
10% puts us at? Still sub 100k🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
yeah needs an additional 25%
Sim dps Andy
i care only about screenshots that supports my narrative
When our single target was 74k the buff could have easily been 25%
Nah, that would make the 2t niche too strong
Is there even a 2target boss in the raid?
Better reduce ST a bit to be safe
Right because sweep has no way to be adjusted so fuck arms ST perma
Remove a 18-20% and arms is in the perfect spot
What we thinking for talents to get apex? Getting rid of bloodletting?
i was curious so i simmed myself for the first time as arms today, thought i accidentially swapped to prot
Community perception all that matters
i know its iconic in a way but what would you think if they just removed it? fdk struggled with the same thign when dnd gave obliterate cleave afaik, then they removed it and finally managed to balance it more or less
I am the community perception.
Let the spec be good at 2 target what’s the problem
Let shadow be good at spread dotting
No problem
a melee spec cannot stand out
non int classes dont get a spotlight
Too strong in 2v2 arena
PvP is irrelevant
i mean, every single spell enhance has seems to do aoe also, so im not sure why sweep is a problem
Separate tuning
Lol
because you can tune aoe and st separately but with sweep the 2 are intertwined
No?
so it becomes a domino nightmare
yet somehow they've managed to tune frost mage cleave 🤔
Like tuning 2t cleave is np
its an int caster ofc they did, the designer is not an incompetent nepo baby
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
sweeping should be attached to CS via talent choice so you can tune ST seperately
I’m all for passive sweep but the problem is they’ll just never let the ST be good which is bull but wcyd
i dont really get why tho, 2t bosses are so rare
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
after reading the patch notes i think imma just reroll ret paladin
ret pala it was already good even before buffs
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

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
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
somebody has to make the rest of the dps look good
the skills feels laging dmg is trash and in pvp they must spam heal on you cose its like victim
Arms feels great in general, though heroic strike feels awkward. We just need a bit of tuning
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
Does the 4th apex point change make us actually take it now?
Amen brother
arms walks so the dps role as a design can run
burden heavier than Bolvars frfr
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
i think i sim higher as prot warrior
arms propaganda - i just hit a phaddy MS 😄
i indeed do sim higher as prot, must be my stats
Someone send me this idk if it's accurate yet
90k arms? HOLY, give us 3 targets and we ballin
UHDK drop from 130k to 106k is interesting demo lock was also doing like 135k now down to 116k so if these are right its not looking to bad
Not many play feral but them jumping to 120k is a huge buff they got
I feel it's accurate (and it's so sad for us we don't even see Colossus lol)
I'm not sure tho
where are we?
Still bottom
Looks like Fury isn't updated there
where is arms colossus on that?
I doubt Fury ends up lower than before
Yeah its not updated for Fury
are the arms buff on tuesday going to be substantial? im not sure it will be
its not
sad ARM, should i go back to my lock then 😮
i guess its based on vibemath
not actual sims
Fits my narrative, so it is true
clearly feral druid propaganda
Colossus so bad it didn’t make the cut for display
It’s still using old data?
The list isnt accurate just a meme
Also the link I have for Ulria’s is blank so not sure what’s going on there probably wiped because of tuning or something
Where can I find the link to Ulria's spreadsheet?
Might still be a private sheet
brewmaster ahead of us
Holy the apex was way less impact than I was hoping

My blindness can't tell what you dropped for it mortal wounds?
i have bad news
Why do we use cleave under 35% health in single target?
2% damage to drop fatal, 
fatal does have more room to be useless though on high target swapping fights
feels over reels
Colossus keeps it though
fake no cleave build
Oof the one I wanted gone the least
I rather lose bloodletting than BL

Idc I'll press rend in execute
yeah cos we can't even get 5 stacks for each CS
U take only the 15% aura or u add the new apex talent ?
No shit it was designed that way on purpose to account for overflow
They know our avg procs
both
blood letting too valuable in execute
most ppl that dont know woulda assumed hey +15% to CS must be good
No I assumed we could break 90k on 6-9%
if its juts avg +9% then its really mid considering opportunity cost
of the talent point
Our CS uptime is insanely high
Either way the apex change is very welcome and good
cause we gave up another passive?
So We not taking it ig
Pre apex numbers with th 15% was like 86k
wait auras dont buff autos?
what the f
It's why over the years they constantly fall behind
Quick maths
what happened to my [known: Heroic Strike] macro? game now thinks that I know HS even if it is not in the spellbook 😮
Stuff like trinkets aren't buffed either
Autos trinkets, embellishments that do damage
any doomers in the chat?
yee
so is it better to cleave on ST
with a bunch of buffs up
I say kill avatar. If CS will be desync from it. It has no need.
Outdated skill anyways.
It is a bad take, but it is my take.
its no longer gonna be desynced
Lame.
Lmao my guildie just sent me this
Details used to have a plugin named "raid check" when hovered over showed everyone's ilevel in the raid or group. Was that functionality removed in midnight?
hitting slam/HS in aoe feels so shit
Then why are you doing it
o7
i love the original one of this so much, this has brought me great joy
2 target is just ST you just hate slam
true
are the changes live
the 15% buff and apex change will be live on reset
The last hope is next friday for mythic week tuning
Bruh who uses forums for this. The thread is about the awful 12.05 arms/slayer changes
They dont wonna come here
Cuz we all are here to moan about the slayer changes too
Average wl player
EU 
Na I've accepted arms is a doomed ship
One day, blizzard will too
I aint gonna sit down and let them make the worst change they could possibly do
You could say arms is....axed
The worst change they could make right now
For example
They could remove ms
And make op our big damage button
We got a buff?
Or go back to cast time slam 
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/1205-slayer-arms-sudden-death-change-is-a-horrible-decision/2270878/33
Hop to it my NA soldiers. we make our stand now or all is lost
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
Whats going on in the frost mage thread lol
I aint clicking on that

just a bunch of mages yapping away like no tomorrow
Genuinely is it bad
That I feel like the reap changes goes against their stated goals for hero trees
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
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?
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
Thats....silly
jedi
Id be okay if it was just exe
yeah I am less concerned about the other changes. My main anger and frustration is purely focused on the SD change.
Blade storm can also be tuned better with reap removed from ms
the other ones have potential for some positive outcomes
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?
In raid no its dead. M+ wont be that bad
bad idea, as you would use broad for st with sweep perma up
Easy fix there too: has to hit 2 targets
Same for fury
Like warrior is a cleave class
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
In that case we need a new talent thats shared with reap
Feels like they keep putting their hopes in wanting to get us to press bladestorm more as a reason to consume SD procs in aoe
even then, sometimes you only have 1 stack of executioner which is 5 seconds cdr, 🤷♂️
yeah its not like TWW when u can just wait till 3 stacks of MFE
If they make the CDR strong enough, you're gonna wanna press it on AoE
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
Might as well rework colo too
seems like they wanna go down the route of Reap = aoe Slayers strike = ST/prio
Isnt bladestorm cdr kind of annoying anyway because it gets desyncd from ava and colossus smash too
The issue with that is WW becomes too strong and spammy on AoE
At that point give us the long awaited arms rework
I don't think most people want that
i am of the opnion its time for colossus to get reworked out of bleeds and more into mortal strike changes
True 
thats a different issue
they have repeatedly nerfed bleeds soo much its prob time to just remove them all together.
Ppl want their "hard hitting abillities"
surely buffed bleeds with mortal wounds in .5
Like genuinely
If bliz cant balance us like this
Then give us a fucking rework
Or they can read my name
I would assume DW gets buffed if they go through with removing cleave from mortal wounds
think they need to somewhat balance deep wounds enough that colossus doesn't want to play around execute, but its a super fine line
Also would need to be balanced so we hopefully arent tab targeting ms if dw ends up too strong
we would never deep wound tab as they stack
^
L
Yeah right

Why am I still here, I haven't played WoW in a while
I'm playing a little bit of PoE
ssf login
Evis bleed glad
I never got into POE1 but I enjoy POE2 a lot
Guess I'll continue to spread democracy in Helldivers 2 next season 😬
Im tempted to join you thete
So hard to wonna play wow nowdays
yeah Its just a lot to learn and pick up. I like kinda learning poe with poe2 as the game gets updates
i hope helldivers gets some nice big updates, the invasion for earth was fun
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
We just had stan
So well be waiting for a long time
Yeah PoE1 is just a better game
Cyberstan was awesome too
poe2 needs time to age
poe1 got like what, 15 years of content or something now
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
i usually play slams, but they nerfed them this league so went to try something new
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
of Recession
i still love slams, shits tanky and does big dam
I still haven't gotten it so I'm playing with Firestorm rn
That's true
I got the furthest with Slams
T15 I think
I'm kind of new to PoE
So I haven't really played that much
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
learn so much on how bosses work when you dont have to give any shits about your damage and its alwasy just pumping
Oh I got Hinekora's Lock last league lol
Whirling Assault aint the same
Yeah it's like a pseudo Whirlwind
The character has to pause every hit
Annoying
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
Strength adjacent ones in particular
I always play warrior anyways
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
Well, that's what they all say but everyone else is much faster
Its true
and mobs are so fast you're cooked
Yeah I agree
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
From what I hear when people compare POE1 and 2 It wouldnt surprise me
I think warrior will feel much better once swords, axes, and flails get released
And ill admit I ALWAYS play warrior
Hes clunky and slow but its still what I prefer
Where does it say that we get a 15% dmg buff?
Warrior just has more problems to solve than other classes
Yeah, especially with life being scarce on the tree
And armour not being as good as other sources of defense like ES
My assumption is steel skills (bullet thingies), cyclone, retaliation skills, lightning strike, frost blades, stuff like that
Blade Flurry
Yesh
So we get a 15% dmg buff, but they are still killing slayer in m+?
I think each and every poe2 melee weapon will have some kind of slam
any of the slayer stuff is for 12.05 not the next week tuning patch
The latter won't be a thing for a while
I think axes are going to be very slam and strike heavy
Cleave as well
I think they will play with having certain skills cross over to other weapons
So far been enjoying that build, so shame of knowing its dead in month or two
much more fun than colossus
Naw they dont. Flail will be templar starting weapon for sure
Int str
its not set in stone theres time to change things. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/1205-slayer-arms-sudden-death-change-is-a-horrible-decision-arms-feedback/2270878
if you are on NA feel free to drop your thoughts and frustrations here as this is our only chance to get these changes reverted.
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. Slayer felt fun and fluid to play. One amazing change that was made in Midnight was something we’ve been asking for since the TWW beta: Sudden Death proccing Reap the...
Yeah that makes sense
Probably active minion playstyles like Dom blow, some slams, holy stuff like smite and holy flame totem
I think they're probably gonna update PoE2 endgame the same way they did PoE1
Instead of towers, you'll have those consumables
I think the atlas from poe1 should merge into poe2. Voidstones cna replace towers for the whole side of the map
I guess if they are also buffing all classe that’s make no sense
i smell a pink class at the bottom
Its just an indirect nerf of pve content
Yeah. They'll do something. Maybe even just make the current endgame better. Next patch for poe2 is supposed to focus on it
I wish to live in an avatarless world
i want avatar to have some sort of gameplay enhancement instead of damage go bongo (lol)
I remember when the news for the druid league came out and people were so disappointed they didn't do anything about the endgame lol
Less dmg than a tank lets gooo
Didn't BRM get a nerf?
We had it for about 2 months
it was great
Yeah. Unfortunate but it is what it is. The community are a bunch of whiners
seeing arms got 15% dmg buff, arms should feel better?
Game is still in alpha
15% better
Yes, but knowing we are getting shot in the head in few weeks still hangs up in the air
Im gonna be so sad knowing slayer m+ is just getting deleted
i see
after whole xpac of colossus i wanted to go back to spin, like season 1 was. But blizzard didnt like that
when i do my sims my warrior pala and lock and arround same il st raid 1 boss 5 min my arms sit at 37021 dps pala at 51254 dps lock afl 50231 dps
with arms buffs arround + - 5 k more still far behind
btw anyone got link to whats currently run for that slayer dungeon build? wanna check if i got the same talents
cuz i saw from this post that Archimtiros uses WW instead of Cleave
you can use this
and that was just Archi testing out WW with the changes
This is the one i been rolling with so far
sounds like you already had the build then
How it feels to log in on arms
ayo wtf lol
does anyone know if battlelord not being in the CDM is a bug/oversight?
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
you track MS
oh god oh fuck oh no my fuckass meme build from prepatch is turning into reality
what have i done
so you're too blame
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
Do you have a link for this?
yeah it resets MS but also reduces the cost of MS
yeah, so it is important to track battlelord then
I mean do these conditions add any dps?
Unless its somewhat significant its not really worth caring
I mean i dno i just read it as press ms if u can?
u forget, retry pala get bufs to.
Battlelord reset = ms csn be presswd
Ret is new uhdk
Only it has a better aoe
It isnt but almost
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???
Expansion about paladins. so they must be OP like dk into 3.3.5 or DH in legion kek
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
Ok so again trackin battelord changes nothin
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
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
that doesn't solve future problems where blizz leaves out auras from the CDM
I think this is an oversight
there are plenty of auras in the cdm that are equally inconsequential
it just sucks that the CDM doesn't let me pick from any part of my kit
scares me to know these are hand-maintained instead of automated
Totally agree
I dont want to know how its built considering they dont let you enter a custom id
Must be a nightmare
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
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
Might as well just forget about WAs
u have weakAuras home
And adapt
Your complaints here don't do anything
Yup. All I want it for
and utility
Same same. Sadly ui also means trackin shit. And they want less
im sure before mythic arms gets a nice rework too
ahh arms is doomed
Thats an older screenshot
Further up theres an updated one
yea i mean arms isnt doing 90k in an old screenshot
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
idk where that list got that from
yeah dunno
its missing col arms
I miss col arms
Blizzard missed col arms
most nerfed classes got compensation buffs ex. lock
just be a better player than most of the playerbase!
It is a travesty for Ret to ever be that high considering their utility/defensive CDs and ridiculously simple rotation.
may i ask where that list is from?
Bro look at ele shaman it literally spams lightning bolt lol
Thats almost every spec
i've been saying this since TWW
More of a general statement across multiple expansions.
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?
there are layers of complexity, you'd know that if you played multiple specs. ret is the exception
It's kind of hard to mess up on Ret. They bake in a lot of safety nets haha.
Ah, because you know what I play 
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
Like a talent automatically casting Avenging Wrath with Wake of Ashes.
i was about to say this one
Gaining holy power through passive AAs.
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
i know you are just being contrarian at this point
Are these metrics with new buffs ?
Theres just no complexity in this game and there hasnt been in a while with the exception of Conduit WW last season
like i said, you are being contrarian. there are layers of complexity, no rotation is inherently complex
such as, lining up cooldowns
ret automates this, like 904gators said
Even fury and arms you have decisions; ret you just hit what’s available since your generators have a cd
Some specs are punished hard for messing up their cool downs.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
yeah that about sums it up lol
And most of the time theres no reason to mess them up
sin back in DF was like that
Fire mage doesn't exist off CD. Outlaw gets punished for poor RtB tracking and CP wastage.
If you fucked your CDs you just did nothing
Ret doesn't get punished for anything.
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
i felt this way playing Fury in TWW. mind you I quit and havent played midnight yet, im still waiting to see what happens with warrior. but outside of my long ass CD's i did nothing
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
Cheat death doesnt exist anymore iirc
how is that not a layer of complexity?
I believe only ppal has that now
Bad rets don’t use their utility
Because in that given case you dont know the absolute basics of your spec
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
thats a level of complexity mate
ret automates it, other specs dont
you've just proved my point
Most CDs aren’t just you push the button
If you wanna consider it a layer of complexity then you do you, I dont
yeah you need to time everything for certain packs, bosses etc. ret is just "go" all the time. no planning needed
i feel like we all do, except you lol
I’ll be honest I’m not sure if you’re arguing ret is simple or everything is simple
Everything is simple
hes just that good at the game that everything is so ez
Theres absolutely nothing you cant build muscle memory for
Everything is simple yes but some things are more simple than others
ret doesnt need that muscle memory. other specs do
someone has a link to that doc with dps ?
But even classes with dynamic cds are pretty much the same at some point?
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.
This?
yes
Not really. Like look at fury right now. Your priority of moves changes based on rage, cd resets, and if you’re in cooldown. Is it hard? No. But it’s not a “hit whatever’s available” that ret has been
yeah some are. you still have to time them for certain packs or boss timings
thats a layer of complexity because you need to plan ahead
That very heavily depends on the context
In a high key or mythic raid you will always end up doing the same
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
I don’t think they should have less damage cause they’re simple
I agree
I just don’t want them to think that they’re playing anything less than an easier class
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
It doesnt matter that you bring a ret because of good damage when they dont use their utility well
^^^
And thats the biggest issue with rets, 1/10 rets is good
Isn't that the case for all classes
Being good at ret is still somewhat hard
You don’t know what you’re going to get when you invite a Ret
If you wanna use all of their kit
Yes but most kits aren’t as expansive
That's true
The ceiling is much higher
Ret is the dps with the most externals I think
Ret has a lot of different abilities they can use for the team
I hope we get some good use of Interpose 
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?
their skulls are too thick for them to care tbh
or even notice
Hey, I heard about a macro for heroic strike, used when you press mortal strike ? Do s1 knows ?
both are on GCD so it's a castsequence?
it's a replacement effect. it doesn't actually press both ms and hs
/cast [known:Heroic Strike]Heroic Strike; Mortal Strike
tfw this guy got a huge buff and we didnt
Can I get the full version of this please?
so it's a bit underwhelming, i mean, we can press 2 different buttons, right ?
ty
yeah i don't really get the point of it
Arms could really use another 10-15% aura buff. would put us around 101-102k dps which is still lower middle of the pack but at leasts its in the pack and not sitting at the bottom. most likely wont happen though
i have never seen any other class disc consistently asking to be average dps over the years 🤣 , arms family really is traumatized
its funny cause i said this
"a 100% damage buff wouldnt even make us better then unholy dk rn"
or smth along the lines of this
also rets hiding sims now
xdd
They cant help themselves its in their nature to be cringe
they somehow beat balance druids and dks as the biggest babies
so wait
dks crying for a raid buff when you have grip was the most insane thing of all time btw
Sigh i'm not even gonna touch this one
besides
Leeme ask you
grip unironically a bigger raid dps increase > any other raid buff
name a fight from evrey tier where grip is mandatory. Not nice to have, MANDATORY
Start from legion at least
Also, I'm not counting abom limp
You really want all the cringe fomos here?
I'm still trying to understand where all the damage for Wildstalker is coming from
also dks just like always top dps and complain
Rip is getting a huge buff. I know they buffed the crap out of swipe to be hard hitting
its my 11th expansion and im jaded, honestly dont care anymore, make me gigabusted 🤝
xdd
in comes dimensius
good luck doing dimensius without grip
i dont hear warlocks complaining about gate
Because warlocks have 50,0000000 other complaints to make
and I can't think of a situation where gate isn't useful
i mean its crazy cope
just like warr utility
I'm sure someone already leaked it, but here's a preview of the new Arms Apex
#updates-midnight message
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)
have u not played one
Sure, if you play rider
That's cope
I'm sorry I play with DA all the time
LOL
Thank you 

Although I’ll miss battlelord just a tad
because yeeting knockbacks sucks
you're an unreliable narrator and have been for years lmao
...
the fuck
Okay dude
I am saying
that I don't like DK mobility or think it's that good
good thing you dont really need DA anymore
if ur UDK
you know what you're signing up for when you select red class
Frost DK doesn't exist I guess
Yeah, Riders is good but it's not that mobile either
Idk maybe cuz it's just....going from shaman where you can screw off in 2 seconds flat vs dk feels bad
I miss ghost wolf. Might bring enhance back
I'd rather drink water than eat a cracker when I'm thirsty

Speaking of DK mobility
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
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
It works better since it parallels paladins MS ability
What do you mean even outlaw lol
Outlaw is very fucking mobile
yeah but if you use both hooks you can get SOL
If you missuse your hooks plus sprint that’s on you
priest yo
feather is lowkey 30% for 3 seconds
on a 30 second cd
It's more than that
that people can steal
It's 40 or 60
rarely but can happen
it's also a caster
think the only other movement speed they have is spriests 3m defensive
or w/e it is
Dispersion is not 3 mins but yeah
that you also unironically cant cast in
pvp spell
its my 3rd alt for splits and that class is some ass
my warrior dk and mage all felt pretty fine while lvling, the mage instakilled everything so i never had to worry about getting meleed and then the dk and warrior couldnt die, but my priest
i died atleast like once every lvl trying to pull big
also
flash heal deadass heals you for 5% of your health bar
like
???
it takes your whole mana bar to heal yourself to full hp
Arms is doomed, back to prot
they yeeted all the hybrids healing tbh
ret healing is LMAO too
the button that does damage to healing conversion still seems good though
it pretty much kept me 100% hp when i used it
FoL may as well not exist
long cd however
Which mage spec did you level? Frost?
Frost feels the best for leveling cuz you get your Glacial Spike really fast when not in combat.
Can absolutely delete stuff.
arcane
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
They're all good. You just 1-2 shot every mob with frost as well.
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.
they lowkey gutted arcane
Arcane still feels pretty good when you clearcast triple arcane orb.
Frost feels better IMO.
Devoker is actually juiced
idk if we have sims for arms in AoE
but DH threw theres up
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5vkTHakB7FydPpmrfxnVXg felscarred in AoE
I feel like arms can push these kinda of numbers
it does
400k can't be right, can it?
colossus beats the bottom one
look at the sim there a 1.2m spike lol
idk about the top
Damn, we gonna be doing millions by the end of the xpac again. 🤦♂️
this is full buffs hero pots flasks bis gear guys
ofc
all dps DH specs are about 1-2% from each other in ST
amazing balance there idk wtf happened to warrior
not sure what voidboi is pushing
Starting sending polaroid pics of yourself looking depressed to blizzard headquarters via snail mail.
lol
lastest sims
feral will get the nerf bat blizzard will never allow it to be #1
gotta beat the pug hell is the problem
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
yeahhh
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
doesnt exist
this sheet has old warrior numbers though
and both specs went up quite a bit
colossus 5t is up id guess ~17-19 %
close to 370k or so
these where a bit ago though so something else could have changed in the sim
are these sims for current state or next week tuning?
yes cause DK isnt at 145k
they are supposed to be next weeks tuning
some stuff still being tweaked though
I mean they could just do lazy bandaid tuning until they figure out what to do long term. Just make MS and CS hit harder when they only effect one target, or anything similar.
give it a day or 2
Buff the hell out of MS. Make it great again
so we are still bottom tier :/ surely arms will be A tier with m+ release tuning

All I know is I really don't want to run fury with the reduction to rts. Nobody wants to spam whirlwind for fun.

thats not for another 2-3 months
Unless it gets changed that doesn't really make me feel better.
well if it upsets you do something with those feelings and post em on this threadhttps://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/1205-slayer-arms-sudden-death-change-is-a-horrible-decision-arms-feedback/2270878
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. Slayer felt fun and fluid to play. One amazing change that was made in Midnight was something we’ve been asking for since the TWW beta: Sudden Death proccing Reap the...
arms isn't dead boys, i was at the airport and saw someone that had a full on arms warrior decorated truck, it was fucking awesome!
demolish is not working as intended.. supposed to be "8 yard around your target" this is not at all how its working right now ive been testing it
its a cone like in TWW, tooltip is wrong
someone posted this and tagged me in my guild xd
i say it should be "until next balance update"
i don't know why they're nerfing unholy
Why did you link a log of Boss Healing Done?
unfortunately that was overall key damage, not healing
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 has been spammy for awhile now
was gonna say, arms isn't really slow, like, its slower than fury, but not slow
although, i guess if you intentionally went 0 haste, it would kinda be slow
it still did hit pretty hard though in past seasons
arms needs haste because of stupid AM - move it to prot tree, we are slow bois 
its just you used gcds to build up to a bigger MS, s2 tww for example
really just due to tuning
now ms barely beats overpower in anything and loses to it in a lot of content
the never ending cycle
Guy says Bladestorm is fun to press lol
maybe he meant for fury. very fun button for fury
arms needs about 30% haste to be playable
read what rend does
heroic strike feels fun to press
i mean ppl who play colossus feel like arms is "less spammy" than slayer, whichi s why many ppl prefer colossus.
that said arms is nowhere near spammy as fury is
can you share the link to this sheet?
tyvm 🙂
it's been that way since the ability was released; always said "around your target" even though it's not
only had the screens from DH disc
how demolish works @minor gust
40 40 10 10
huh does it also hit in an area behind you?
where is the player, the mortal strike icon or the circle behind it
why not use colossus smash icon
stop confusing me
the mortal strike is the player
yk arms icon
so it also hits behind you?
yeah
what's the opener for slayer? i only see colossus
hey guys, am i the only soul here being completely declined from every group content for playing arm warrior in midnight?
I mean i even get kicked in normal dungeons ...
before even starting the dung
What race are you
Funny you say that, someone asked me if I was arms last night. I said no, then they told me to play it
The duality of man
what a sweet dream you had
It was reality not a dream
Who asks someone else to change spec in a group? That's weird behavior TBH.
Unless it's like "you're the tank dummy".
Unpopular take but being a little rage starved is a good thing. We should have to manage rage
Provided our abilities are impactful
you guys are finding groups?
I got insta accepted in every m0 group I tried to join. I don't know where you all find picky people in pre season
gg slayer
Cya yeet
Week 1 when i was 198🤣
perfect
https://www.simulationcraft.org/reports/MID1_Raid.html
still no war dps
Profiles was pushed early today, so they should appear on next sync
can't seem to find ret paladins in any of those sims for some reason
Lowkey if we get a targeted ST buff we could be real again. Or that rework huehue.
how often is it synced
can you guys believe unholy players are crying calling a spec dead
'oh no my op class went from doing 150k st to 120k st its over'
meanwhile arms still not beating brew

Ye they acting like it's now unplayable 😄
is it safe to say we arent taking piercing howl anymore?
I guess Intimidating Shout is the play now
oh i was thinking fearless, not sure tbh
i guess, i wasnt excited about this spell even before the nerf
yeah it had potential, but they just never made it good enough
88.6k sim iirc
Can take whatever you want really, I’ll still maybe use piercing how for movement in raid on the occasion 🤷♂️
Hopefully it’s one of those floater free points
Relative to Roar/Windrush, Howl numbers always looked pretty lacking since they announced it
They are there my friend. The page just can't go that far down 😛
you're not saying that slayer arms sims less dps than brewmaster monk are you
surely
they said the site will break if they put in negative values, they will need some more time to figure it out
no i'm serious, there's no way arms sims less on ST than brew after the buffs
mayeb the brew sims are wrong
Except theyre not
i don't even have the motivation or urge to log into wow and get my free prey gear 🤣
blizzard scarred us for life
Got some bad news
more scars than a demon hunter
