Yeah, that part is a problem.

runic rock
#

Its not even in the ballpark. Id imagine tanks are doing 50-60k lol

sharp wyvern
#

brewmaster doing 90k weird

runic rock
#

Maybe its just cope but I feel like the spreadsheet can't be right

#

Its probably cope. Blizzard just abandoned arms warriors

tawny thorn
#

Nop. I like Arms Demolo being a DPS spec

#

But yea, we said many times, lust would be good on war, fits the lore, the fucking spec shouts stuff, banner or whatever Blizz want

#

But it wouldn't save the spec, if you bring lust and 20K st in M+

#

Lust won't make you sexy for M+ group

Speaking of my post if you hate the 12.05 changes make your voice heard. 2nd most popular post by a mile keep it up boys! No way we still get ignored!

World of Warcraft Forums

The crazy this is that there were so many options through the different tier sets to spice things up for Arms warriors… and they decide to bring back ravager and avatar…. Avatar i can close an eye.. but Ravager without CDR has no place in the arms kit. i agree that Reap on SD is great.. not Fury RB tier great.. but at least it provided some...

I don't really care that it's a nerf I care that it's destroying good gameplay

tawny thorn
#

It's like shooting someone that's already dead 😂

minor gust
#

But if that's what you care about voice that complaint in the thread!

#

More comments from more people the better!

tawny thorn
#

Idc about slayer unfortunately

#

I was saying in general

#

For warriors in general

forest eagle
#

Make ARMS great again

unironically forums are the best way to get feedback across to the devs, they don't look anywhere else really for the most part afaik

forest eagle

I think we will be fine lads, trust

#

Blizz has said many times forums is the best way even if it doesn't feel like it. So if we can keep this forum thread active till the next set of ptr notes. We have a good chance to get these changes reverted or improved

hybrid canopy

whether you like it or not voicing your feedback on the forums is the best way to get things changed

good question... been wondering the same for a while now

rose ibex

My experience is that forum posts never really change anything but its good to do anyways

hybrid canopy

no devs peek class discords for feedback

WoW devs are notoriously stubborn

Look what happened to fury in DF

rose ibex
#

Like there was a point in the past where they just decided to not adhere to any forum postings as a policy

hybrid canopy
#

otherwise you're pretty much just not doing anything about it

tawny thorn
#

They took data from heroic week, delves and M0

#

Fury got nerfed to the ground and below

#

I remember they used to be super active on forums and then suddenly stopped interacting with it at all and I think they released a statement regarding it but my memory is pretty shoddy on that

tawny thorn
#

Just the sheet above, where we do less damage than a Brew should be enough for blizzard to do something

rose ibex
#

I understand arms is at least doing well in multi target scenarios

tawny thorn
#

They have the data and even more

#

And yet, 88k

#

In ST build

rose ibex
#

Terrrrrible single target. Definitively the worst

#

But I hear they are one of the best for multi

tawny thorn
#

Imagine in M+ spec

#

20k ST Kappa

rose ibex
#

I havent seen the numbers on that but I hope someone has them haha

#

The single target is so bad that it definitely affects even m+

tawny thorn
#

Yea, and even if you have the biggest AOE by miiiiles, if you have no ST/prior

#

That's it

rose ibex
#

Im fine with having lower dps. I just dont want to be dead weight

tawny thorn
#

Yea same

#

I don't want to be busted so everyone reroll War

#

I just want to not be an affix

rose ibex
#

So good multi target numbers is a good thing at least. Maybe we can still get decent overall damage for the m+

#

Definitely not on bosses but you cant have everything

#

If tanks are strong then pulls will be bigger

#

huffs copium

#

My morale shall not waver

#

Ill play arms with my buds and my other character, a feral druid, should be strong enough to get in pugs

#

And if it truly is awful, I can just tank on warrior and still enjoy arms for pvp

sudden topaz
#

what do we need to be mid to low mid, another 15%? lol

minor gust
#

With how strong arms aoe will be on reset. Arms will be ok in M+ especially if your playing with a consistent group. And if you have the ability to form the comp around you. Just have the other two DPS be ST/prio focused

#

Add in a havoc DH to fuck up prio

#

And some other strong ST spec

rough pewter
#

fury is also shit dps ?

minor gust
#

Not really

#

It's pretty mid

rough pewter
#

oh, i cant decide what to play

#

elem shaman, arms, fury

gusty nymph
#

Ele. No doubt 🥳

rough pewter
#

yeah? why

minor gust
#

If dmg is all that matters to you then pick ele

#

If you value fun then just pick what's more fun shaman or warrior

weak rain
#

What are our predictions i nraid? dead last?

minor gust
#

Considering arms raid performance is all about ST since we can't meaningfully pick up aoe like fury... Yeah dead last

rough pewter
glass ibex

So I am new to the discord but warrior has been my favorite class since I picked wow up...and while I was pretty sad about the state of arms, the buffs have me a bit hyped. Do yall think the update will actually have us grab the 4th apex point? If so what are we dropping to get ot?

You said you were undecided between arms and fury. So I am just making sure you know you don't have to pick either. You can swap freely between them whenever you want

Likely more buffs on the 24th

Yes

#

Keep in mind many other specs got buffs just like us

rose ibex
# rough pewter elem shaman, arms, fury

Tbh dude (and I swing back and forth on this) just play what you think is the most fun. There will be pain if its not the strongest most meta class ever but it will be more rewarding and the meta will change fairly often in the next few months

Slayer losing in st to brew monk

Damn

colossus is obviously lower

and both hero talents suck thematically and in practise

pretty funny we got a huge buff and we are still dog shit

i like the heroic strike hero talent personally i just wish the stacks maintained and refreshed rather than falling off

See I think arms slayer feels amazing just needs numbers. Collosus used to be one of my favorites until the rage and energy changws

It’s just doo doo rn😔

You aren't really gonna go wrong with any amount of Crit haste mastery on arms

All 3 stats are good

Slayer tends to like more haste Colo tends to like a lil more mastery

But really it doesn't matter that much

Ultimately u want a thick weapon and a ton of strength

Ive been focusing on haste + crit. I never really know what is best and blindly follow guides and sims

Just follow your top gear sims

If you wanna complain about arms complain in here. Specifically the 12.05 stuff

World of Warcraft Forums

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...

Raid only thing thst matter kol

#

Im kinda new to Stats but based off that Spread sheet going around, Colo Arms is outside 2 sample standard deviations. In the surveying world that would just get thrown out as a blunder or anomaly. Just outlandishly bad. 22.5k under avg. The top Dps is only 16k over avg.

I would consider anything within 16k of Avg(103k) to be "okay"

they wont but theres more tuning on the 24th

theres planned tuning for the next 3 weeks

wether arms gets buffed or not is still the legendary 50/50

How can a dev see tank above a dps and not go 🤔

minor gust

how can a dev see a universally loved change and decide to revert it half a patch later

wicked yoke

If we wanted to be within 8k of Avg(we would still be under) We dead ass need another 20% aura buff on top of the 15% we already getting. Insane
35-40% to get to where feral druids are.
this is singletargt though

whats crazy is the change on ptr patch 12.05 is live now and you can see we lose almost 60k aoe with the 15% buff were about to get will put us up a bit until 12.05 goes live for slayer then were right back where our aoe was before.. Yet our single target is even lower

fuck the numbers what matters is they are actively making the gameplay worse

obsidian otter

thats just cherry on top of it for sure

viscid crater

That's the worst part about all of this

Duality of man lol

obsidian otter

but lets be honestly people would complain less if our numbers were up gameplay style or not

minor gust

overall addicts

daring heron
#

i'm not even that worried about damage, they usually buff eventually

minor gust
#

opinions less valuable than fent addicts

daring heron
#

but gameplay they just don't fix

#

or they make it worse

#

SD reap removal is a massive L

obsidian otter
#

yeah that has to be a disconect somewhere in the development

#

or like someone said yesterday when i was running zeros someone who mains arms warrior slept with the developers wife smh

daring heron

i'm hearing that everywhere rn lmao

it's become canon

obsidian otter

it is lol

minor gust

you would think a blizz dev would like that tho

obsidian otter

I had to level my third warrior to 90 might be last time i get to play this slayer version 🙁

Thats just my one take, Please dont roast me

daring heron

numbers are much easier to fix than gameplay

I agree forsure.

like theres still 3 more planned tuning patches numbers will even out eventually so I rather my spec play well and feel fun

daring heron
#

i'm curious how we'll do in raid tbh, might get lots of ST buffs without getting our aoe/cleave nerfed

#

could actually become rly good in m+

#

in that timeline anyway xd

minor gust
#

seeing how they didnt nerf cleave this first round of tuning

#

that very well might happen

#

raid idk arms still has a bad time with aoe and ST talents

daring heron
#

same goes for fury too

#

yeah

elder path
#

this tier has a lot of fights with a bunch of trash taht spawns that you have to clear

daring heron
#

i can't see fury doing that bad in raid but ig a lot of classes sim over 100k so have to wait and see

minor gust
#

since the DF talents arms has pretty much always decided to pure ST it out and only deal with adds with DN or bladestorm

elder path
#

im worried for that

minor gust
#

its almost always never been worth for arms to take aoe talents in raid

#

besides for pure aoe boss fights

daring heron
#

yeah there are so many aoe only or st only talents for arms

elder path
#

yea very secular for aoe vs ST

minor gust
#

so arms even with a buffed ST is likely to still feel like shit in this first raid if people are able to pad on adds better

#

Fury over here just pressing TC and laughing

while losing no ST

unless they buff colossus wicked

shhh you gotta believe

minor gust
#

because of how arms works compared to fury

not even with the aura buff

also gotta think about fury's range here, clap hits such a large area around you

#

while cleave is just a tiny cone

rose ibex
native obsidian
#

Well said

median fox
minor gust
# glacial pebble not even with the aura buff

Arms has to take a lot of specific talents for aoe which nukes boss dmg. Since DF its never been worth for arms to ever talent into aoe for any kind of adds in raid. You always stayed ST and only use DN and BS to contribute to add dmg

median fox
#

its so sad its hilarious at the same time xD

minor gust
#

the fight would need to be very frequent aoe to warrant swapping to some aoe talents as arms

daring heron
#

yeah like

if you thought arms ST is bad on that spreadsheet

rose ibex

Arms is full of hipster players who just refuse to play fury

it's wayyyy worse if you talent into aoe lmao

11% for arms 4.5% for thane

OKAY

like its fun to do something like colo and pad some aoe on a fight like soulbinder in manaforge last tier but like you werent really helping kill that boss

they seem to like warriors

we need dat guy

give us dat guy

fresh spire

probs will see more buffs to the lower guys like assassination

#

i think we didn't get overbuffed this week purely for blizzard to get metrics of the new apex, also avoids another nerf if we was op in hc week which is bad for mythic

river ridge
minor gust
#

and continuing from there

#

because we all know they dont have internal metrics thats alll just a lie so they need to see what player sims are and heroic week logs

they announced 4 weeks of tuning

yeah I already crossed off the 17ths cuz we got the notes for it

imagine slayer gets buffed in the next tuning passes and starts owning, but the reap change stays on 12.0.5 ptr so we know the end is near

glacial pebble

have we been posting on forums giving the wowdevs ideas on how to buff arms and not harassing them or talking down on them

fresh spire

Gloom into doom

#

holy

#

thing is i'm perfectly fine with MS/BT being gutted

#

as it just makes us do op>ms in aoe always

#

it will make bladestorm weaker as no reaps but they could finally buff it to do actual aoe instead of relying on reap

World of Warcraft Forums

Honestly I dont post much but arms needs a rework in the worst of ways I dont understand why you all are so focused on even using slam let it go let that button press die dont add anoter button to replace it just let it die. Arms in Mop was great do a lot of damage inside of CS make mortal strike hit like the truck it is meant to be give us lots...

fresh spire
#

But the SD change is a huge nono

#

lets just remove any reason to not press cleave/ww/op in aoe while your other buttons rot

#

surely we cant be ignored with the 2nd most popular forum thread by a mile

can they also make a forum for both eu and usa already

so stupid eu people can't post on NA forums

So when did arms become like bad design wise? I feel like when i started playing in MoP arms was the go to, then after legion Fury became the go to and thats all i see anymore

thick kelp
#

bfa

fresh spire
#

mop was the start of arms being a badass spec

#

legion peaked it

thick kelp
#

ruined the entire spec

fresh spire
#

bfa began the downfall

thick kelp
#

only down hill from there

river ridge
#

But BFA did bring us EP

thick kelp
#

legion had ep

#

the good ep

river ridge
#

Did it?

thick kelp
#

the strong ep

#

the 75% per stack ep

daring heron
#

it's me reading any warrior patch notes

river ridge
#

Then what was the one they removed after S1 of BFA

thick kelp
#

if you check the page for ep

#

yu can see it was removed in bfa alpha

#

and only recently got added back

daring heron
#

yeah legion EP was crazy

river ridge
#

I coudla sworn we had EP as an Azurite Power, and we slammed all of S1 of BfA and Blizz removed it

daring heron

3x FR + 2x EP + CS + SD

meanwhile today we ask ourselves if execute is even worth the rage cost as arms and prot lmaooo

thick kelp
#

(its not)

#

funny have first wr just had it all

#

then we got to a point where we need 9 talents for aoe

#

another 12 for st

#

and now another 4 for execute

minor gust
latent moss
#

cs on tactician is key but they refuse to bring it back gg

daring heron
#

that's the thing though, arms didnt even have that many buttons

thick kelp
#

yep

daring heron
#

just make the spec actually flow well, you don't need 50 buttons like now

latent moss
#

i swear the peak design would be

#

cs on tactician + shattered defenses + mop taste for blood and chance for op to proc tactician and some incentive to slam>op on high rage. and in exe phase exe overtakes everything except ms

latent moss
candid pecan
#

we're missing this. (replace CS with OP I guess ratge)

latent moss
#

collapsing star and eradicate look fun asf

latent moss
#

also i love how their apex is what arms apex shouldve been

#

just make ms and demo always crit for colo please

#

and scale dmg off of crit chance

minor gust
#

I literally gave that exact suggestion the day our apex was announced

latent moss
#

you know ball

thick kelp
#

imgur ....

minor gust
#

I was like we dont need more cdr it should just be increase CS dmg amp

river ridge
latent moss
#

also for me personally s3 df exe spam was fun. they could try and make slayer play like that with some execute chaining mechanic while colo does the EP gameplay

#

but they never do any gameplay exploration with arms

#

so gg

minor gust
#

idk I only found it fun because it doesnt happen often

inner wasp
#

what if execute caused reap

#

thatd be cool

viscid crater
minor gust
#

if I were to decide between exe spam or EP rotation as forever gameplay its EP rotation every time

candid pecan
#

should EP also increase next MS crit chance by 25% per stack? feelycraft

we're starving like crazy to press execute twice and then MS does not crit... critcake

thick kelp
#

arms isnt even supposed to be the execute spec out of the two

#

ya know

latent moss
#

ms should just crit always imo

#

like chaos bolt

EP rotation already fits without even having to watch the buffs so I agree your litterly pressing 3 GCDs between MS attacks as slayer already it just works

@smoky kayak Does this line make sense?

slayer_st->add_action( "cleave,if=talent.mass_execution&target.health.pct<35" );

If the target is below 35%, the APL should switch to slayer_execute, not slayer_st. Am I missing something?

thick kelp
#

huh

#

that lines telling it to press cleave in st if target is below 35% to make it work when we dont talent massacre

smoky kayak

^ the apl doesn't swap to Execute at 35% if Massacre isn't talented

I too tend to forget that Massacre only affects the threshold for Execute alone, not other "execute" things
