Does it actually nerf your damage or is it just a little dumb?

# rose ibex Does it actually nerf your damage or is it just a little dumb?

It depends on which option you choose: Highlighted Assistant, or the One Button.

The highlight is just a little dumb and makes suboptimal choices. It also doesn’t highlight every spell.

The one button assistant increases your GCD length by 30%, effectively nerfing you for one GCD every time you press it.

#

No spec, especially arms, is terribly complex this expansion so honestly I’d recommend using neither. It’s a nice accessibility feature though.

rose ibex
dire hinge
#

Sounds right

#

I think Prot Pally had something like a 60% decrease from the highlight alone

rose ibex
#

I find its great for specs like Spriest and enh shaman who, outside of certain cooldowns, tend to just piano a priority list

flint cedar
jagged finch
#

did the class changes happen already?

#

Master of warfare 4/4 still sims kinda low so guess not! but wowhead guide was updated suggesting it now. so must be a bit better

muted rune
#

Will m0 drop champ tomorrow? was that ever confirmed?

proper moth
#

Ez arms nerf again

olive nest
#

love how they keep doing added tuning for other specs

#

arms still there

#

xD

eternal edge
#

SP just got big buffs so we're officially the lowest spec now again

hushed pine
#

My first thoughts exactly lmao

jolly lintel
#

man that heroic strike macro stopped working for me when I went into a bg lol. cant get it to work again

hushed pine
stable fiber
#

bugfix made them lose 10.7% damage lmao

queen garden
#

Did Sp closed their discord or something ? lol

stable fiber
#

so

#

wouldnt doubt it

#

they can always go healer though

dire hinge
#

i've had that bug persist for days across varying content

stable fiber
#

oh wait they rebuffed shadow

#

ok nvm

#

they ok again

eternal edge
#

That's why I said this

hushed pine
#

their aoe is getting nuked but their st is getting giga buffed

warm fog
#

Big buffs do shadow, hope for arms!

stable fiber
#

not so sure anymore

#

another aoe nerf (bugfix) to them in a pretty spread cleave heavy raid

wind hatch
#

is there a single patchwerk fight this tier

stable fiber
warm fog
#

Not yet but we are missing 2 bosses still

#

So guys how hard is day 1 heroic

#

Lets buff aug over arms, thats always a great idea

@thick kelp arms is so back

Arms owns.

#

you know what is realllllly cool about Arms? You get a million things to buff MS and you press it and it does 25k dmg >.>

#

hello guys, is there any value to craft an item in veteran if we have all slots looted from m0 ? like weapon ?

smoky kayak
pulsar elk
#

goddamn i loooove the change, i was bitching about the tier 4 rank

#

also 15% dmg all around lets fuckin gooo

tacit moat
#

we are still bottom of the barrel with buffs but yeah its a start

pulsar elk
#

i mostly play m+ so im not so sure thats true for dungeons but well see

slow saddle
#

It is

#

When u have tank st

and you know this how lol

#

last time i chcked season starts tomorrow

#

#

check murlok io in 2 weeks to see class distribution

#

thats all

wind hatch
#

brewmaster is simming higher in st than arms lol

slow saddle
#

Sims thats why

pulsar elk
#

yeah simming patchwerk doesnt take into account the insane aoe that arms pumps out, overall is what matters in m+

#

riiight sims that arent updated for the changes either

slow saddle
#

Sims in st spec col looses tanks

slow saddle
#

Our simmers are done

#

Instantly

wind hatch
slow saddle
#

By a mile tbh

pulsar elk
#

idk im done arguing status in m+ based on patchwerk sims, tww colosus arms st sucked the entire expac and it was still viable / fun

slow saddle
#

Add another 20% via ms // hs // exe then

slow saddle
#

Tww arms

#

Had same st as fury

#

In sims

#

And then bad st in m+

#

But for meme keys go ahead

pulsar elk
#

youre such a fucking loser lmfao

#

just stop

slow saddle
#

How so?

#

I was bad id say, but i did cap at like 3800 as arms

#

Or 3750 mby

#

So id say i played it a lot in tww

#

In beta as well

#

And tww st was bad yes. But way above tanks😅

foggy quiver
#

Doesn’t it annoy you that fire mages got two balance passes before even releasing the changes?

slow saddle
#

Nah

#

We are brown

viscid geode
#

I'm still playin my Arms, but man it's annoying having the Guardian druid nipping my heels on AoE dmg lol

foggy quiver
#

I mean in a logical sense who’s needing more attention? A fire mage or arms warrior?

wind hatch
gentle gyro
#

How are we feeling?

#

Is depression still kicking in?

crude sonnet
soft dew
#

I mean, I'm still a bit hopeful they'll tune us a bit more in next passes, but I don't expect anything big

crude sonnet
#

The problem is that the arms player base is tiny so we don't have the numbers to bully Blizz like ret pallys.

rose ibex
#

I think this is all we'll get for this patch but maybe more on the next and hopefully the 12.05 changes don't go through

#

Apparently we are simming pretty good at 5+ targets so... maybe things wont be so bad for m+ at least

jagged finch
#

Crucible of Erratic Energies is now simming good

jagged finch
#

wait do we need to attune it also ngl idk

rose ibex
thick kelp
#

its big

rose ibex
#

Good big?

thick kelp
#

yeah

rose ibex
#

Does this mean father will love me again?

thick kelp
#

no

#

not when you do 75k ST in that build

rose ibex
#

That's ok so long as I can big smash for big numbers

spring vale
vital summit
#

Look, I found Arms Warrior IRL

thorn stream
#

Wdym ?

jagged finch
#

Do we need to attune the Crucible of Erratic energies for it to work properly? it sims quite decently

gentle gyro
latent moss
#

if they just mindlessly aura buff arms again

#

colo gonna get scary in aoe

night niche
#

It's fun that they had made some additional tuning changes for ret aug shadow and fire but no arms

So

#

Are we winning son?

#

Or 15% not enough enough

rare kite
tight wing
#

nowhere Near enough, needed at least 30% to be low-mid at best, iirc (the exact numbers elude me atm)

slender sonnet
#

And they just buffed shadow again

tight wing
#

our AoE's not bad though

slender sonnet
tight wing
#

which was already on top

slender sonnet
#

Yeah

#

Stupid game

#

They’re 100% reworking arms

tight wing
#

they better give it the same treatment Ret got in whenever it got reworked (I forgot lol)

Oh LOL I forgot you could do that xD

Im pressing f12 in game to edit the scaling of my mortal strike 😎

oak flame
#

even Shadow Priest got a better buff (16%) on top of single spell buffed rofl

#

this is a joke

flat willow
weak rain
#

Why on bloodmallet we have around 93k dps?

daring heron
fresh spire
#

Guys we copium for some buffs

#

If priest got buffed surely arms has a chance before next wednesday

olive nest
#

All that more class tuning yet no arms additional aura lmao 🤡

icy mulch
#

Greil is still going on about how we don't know the full picture. lol, man I really wish I was as optimistic as him.

fresh spire
#

There is no real picture

finite ocean
#

Buff today?

fresh spire
#

Blizzard cannot tune execute because of deep wounds and reap

#

That's why they are trying to explode it

wary steppe
#

They ve put all these non gameplay passive damage layers that turn spec design to crap

fresh spire
#

I mean id consider sd reap a gameplay layer that's not very passive since it encourages rotational change on aoe. Where before 0 buttons had impact.

icy mulch
#

I'd love to see Execute have some impact on AoE in general as well.

#

You know, like how they kinda promised they'd do.

fervent jackal
#

These are the people who thought a channeled ability was good idea for a warrior permanently i the bosses face. Why move?

icy mulch
uncut yacht
weak rain
#

I wish they reworked stupid demolish own debuff into just applying CS debuff and reworked double colossal might stacks on ms crit into MS granting +1 colossal might stack for every exe precision buff on it(so 3 stacks with 2 exe precision buff from MS)

fresh spire
fresh spire
icy mulch
#

See, that would be a logical application to the problem.

fresh spire
#

Though blizzard may think the apex is worth way more thsn it is as we only get 2 stacks not 5

#

Unless they secretly buffed proc rate and not mentioned it

icy mulch
#

Blizzard doesn't seem to use logic though.

weak rain
icy mulch
#

I get the 5 is for god tier RNG protection.

fresh spire
#

More crit arms gets the better it's going to get for sure

#

But not that much

#

I mean average proc is 2

#

Average is 3 during sweep

#

Only time you may hit 5 is in keys

#

Where your holding for next pacj

astral yarrow
#

have you tried just bumping the ilvl to S3 levels xdd

#

of the sims that is

fresh spire
astral yarrow
#

xdd

tight wing
#

I can get up to 4 on bosses, but I average 3

weak rain
#

Test of might should've been our apex sadge

fresh spire
#

Test of might was dogshit.

icy mulch
#

Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see where it does land. I still think this is gonna be an unsub expansion though.

fresh spire
#

Ruined any burst potential of the spec as the proc was never during cds

#

They may yolo send a buff today when server comes up who knows

astral yarrow
#

ToM is also just not that clear in its effect. Is it better to use damage buttons during the CS part or ToM window?

#

Nothing ingame really makes that clear

fresh spire
#

Judging by fact they are still tuning even before the patch shows their still looking at bugs and numbers

fresh spire
#

My honest guess is they thought the apex was worth like 10% our damage and was waiting to see how it ended up vs other classes first day hc logs is going to show the true state of arms

#

And we will get buffed either following Wed or maybe even before

astral yarrow
#

I am still convinced they dont sim or write any APL-esque stuff

#

but they sort of have to with OBR

fresh spire
#

They do have apl. Called one button

thorn stream
fresh spire
#

They do testing with one button as far as I heard

astral yarrow
fresh spire
tight wing
#

they 100% don't sim

fresh spire
#

Full dev raids with one button

#

No wonder pet classes on top smh

#

Also dk bug was fixed today so their about to gain back like 7% dos

#

It's jover

astral yarrow
#

but i mean, sim numbers are just still that. Theoretical. But no amount of in practice will make up the difference between arms sim numbers and dk sim numbers lol

rough phoenix
weak rain
#

isntead of current ooga booga style

astral yarrow
#

Sim is very valuable for what it is, but taking it as gospel in every situation is just delusional

fresh spire
#

Sub rogue looks middle of pack. But it's kit looks like it could easily be top 5 with all the adds and its damage profile for aoe being nuts

tight wing
#

I still do, but I don't base all of my gameplay around it

astral yarrow
#

Good luck putting up a correct sim profile for Sylvanas

#

but its the best we realistically can do, so working with what we can

fresh spire
#

Though there is a huge discrepancy when a class is 30^ behind the top. There is no raid encounter that could make them meta

astral yarrow
#

Thats what i mean with the dk thing

fresh spire
#

Dk is so back lol

weak rain
#

thats why they nerfed howl, howl would be such a meta in raid

#

I can smell it

astral yarrow
#

no amount of fight design will make up for UHDK straight up doing double arms sim numbers before the pass

tight wing
#

was it ever gone?

astral yarrow
#

my biggest gripe is how every niche arms has/had it doesnt excel at

#

2 target blows

#

execute blows

#

bleeds blow

thorn stream
#

Remove bleeds

weak rain
#

buff bleeds

tight wing
#

I'd say remove DoTs for arms and dump them on fury, ripping enemies open is more a fury thing anyways

astral yarrow
#

Rend has been the arms thing since vanilla and randomly they want it to be a prot/fury thing as well

astral yarrow
#

its so odd to me

weak rain
#

bleeds was always in arms' dentity

#

like ????

fresh spire
tight wing
fresh spire
#

Scary

plucky fern
#

people who want to remove bleeds should just reroll ret

#

thats the spec that you want to see

#

arms without bleeds

#

but also better tuned because they are whiners

fresh spire
#

Bleeds are fine. The lack of support from colossus is not

fresh spire
#

Kinda wish cleave would apply rend now like ww does for fury.

astral yarrow
#

I didnt even know about him when i changed the pfp, i just thought it was hilarious with a lil monke walking around with a monke plush

weak rain
#

I mean DW is kinda fun currently, especially in exe phase

fresh spire
#

keks I've seen so many clips of him being bullied

astral yarrow
fresh spire
#

You mean the cleave phase

tight wing
fresh spire
#

You know executes bad when archi suggested having apl not swap to execute when cts not taken

#

So execute apl stays clean

astral yarrow
#

poor lil dude

#

slayer_arms_execute+=no

plucky fern
#

i dont even get the bleed hate anymore
it was kinda justified to hate them when sks was played because it was pain in the ass but now you kinda dont even need to do anything expect for pressing rend every 20 seconds which is an aoe button now as well

tight wing
#

my guess is that it feels like a waste when it does almost no damage for a GCD and rage, though it does gen rage too so

astral yarrow
#

I actually ended up liking SKS

fresh spire
#

I liked exploding sks

#

Instant killing prio targets felt goooood

astral yarrow
#

but that was also when i did the most APL work, so it has a special place in my heart

fresh spire
#

Sks rework was a mistake

astral yarrow
#

yeah idk how they could've saved it though

weak rain
#

s2 DF sks in m+ gameplay

#

was peak

#

like that shit was so fun

astral yarrow
#

i dont think it needed the rework it got

#

but i get why

#

i remember it was worth refreshing rend if there was less than 17 seconds on it before pressing SKS

weak rain
tight wing
#

only reason I recommend getting rid of it is because DoTs and bleeds are so hard to balance, and blizz can't comprehend them for warrior lol

weak rain
#

easy fix

#

Also could've made the next MS after SKS to apply rend aswell

astral yarrow
#

it also felt sort of bad sending a 2x EP buffed MS into a DW-less target

tight wing
#

what is SKS again?

plucky fern
#

if anything i think they should expand on bleed theme on arms, its the only thing that really worked in past years, when bleeds are strong arms is strong, prime sks, bleed roar carried aoe etc
'hit slow but hard' theme just doesnt work anymore, just bad design

astral yarrow
astral yarrow
weak rain
#

btw in current rage starving situation, sks would've been great

#

....

tight wing
#

ahh thanks, I could picture the Icon but forgot the name lol

astral yarrow
#

come out of a raid fight in nyalotha and your DW did 60% of your damage

tight wing
#

DoT management is for Cats, rogues, and locks

weak rain
#

Remove master tactician and reintroduce SKS, but hasted and that applies both rend+dw

#

would be great as capstone

plucky fern
#

it doesnt need to be 'management'

#

passives applying dots

#

work fine as well

tight wing
#

as soon as there's more than one it will become management though

astral yarrow
#

I just need a reason to apply rend instead of it being the best DPE

#

SL arms did it ok with 10% crit damage on targets with rend

tight wing
#

because you HAVE to keep them up with the pandemic window if you want good damage

astral yarrow
#

gave me a reason to care outside of DPE

plucky fern
#

current arms dot design with 'crits applying dw' and 'dw just stacks when applied multiple times' is perfect, they just need better numbers and like a few more synergies for bleeds
Imagine them finally removing stupid ravager, maybe avatar as well and just bring back roar with good capstones

tight wing
#

they'd just make ravager a bleed lol

weak rain
#

I mean fuck ravager, if they readded roar i nthat node

#

wouldn't be bad

#

honestly

tight wing
#

100%

weak rain
#

would be good with colossus profile too

#

since colo is a bleed spec now

tight wing
#

a clunky bleed spec though, they REALLY need to rethink The smash

spring vale
#

Id gladly give up ravager to have thunderous roar back

plucky fern
#

roar/bs choice node just feels right

spring vale
#

Esp with new deep wounds

tight wing
#

I agree

vast helm
plucky fern
#

if anything should be removed from arms kit its slam

#

i will die on that hill

#

non buffed ms is already on 'filler' level of damage just remove the cooldown and delete slam already

tight wing
#

despite it having the same qualifications as rend? (I think, it may have been added later I didn't play classic)

plucky fern
#

both slam and rend exist since classic

#

slam tho has like 10 different reworks over the years

#

and it never felt good to press

#

just give up on that button already blizzard

tight wing
#

didn't it hit like a truck in TBC?

plucky fern
#

no it was a filler with 1.5 seconds cast time that reset your swing timer

#

with talents reducing the cast time but still

#

just horrible

eternal edge
#

i like that sentence "rend and slam exist since vanilla" and say after that "just give up"

#

first of all stop with rend

#

then you can talk about slam

plucky fern
#

unlike slam rend was never really that bad of a button

rapid bronze
#

good morning to everyone except the warrior dev

eternal edge
#

rend is more a problem than slam overall and through years

plucky fern
#

it was always 'okay'

#

what is the problem with rend
was it ever resetting you swing timer? did it had cast time? was it 'just a worse version' of another button'?
no, its a unique spell, it had synergies and mechanics working with it

eternal edge
#

bruh

#

slam has more synergies than rend actually

#

it's not so unique tbh, bleed are a part of rogues dmg too years ago and recently too

plucky fern
#

before midnight there was LITERALLY just 2 talents that had word 'slam' in it
In entire class+spec tree

eternal edge
#

i just don't get it why so many ppl are angry against slam when it's just a fucking filler
why don't you focus on real problem about our spec fr

slow saddle
#

it does exactly what its supposed to

#

Reset OP

eternal edge
plucky fern
#

because terrible spec flow and rotation is the main problem of arms?

slow saddle
#

now when they set it at 30% chance

#

nah

#

Slam does Good things for rotation

plucky fern
#

and having 3 buttons doing the exact same shit but with different rage cost IS bad design?

latent moss
slow saddle
#

ALL Buttons does DMG

#

like wth

latent moss
#

even the crit damage from sl is fake but at least it made ur big numbers bigger which is a lot better than a passive dot silently doing 5%

slow saddle
#

so

#

OP = a semi aoe coz of dreadnaught

#

MS = main fucking big dog

plucky fern
#

does all buttons 'bonk 1 target with no other effects' in other classes?

slow saddle
#

Execute Fucking slays ( if sub 35% )

#

Slam resets op

#

like it seems to me buttons have a Clear role in our rotation

#

and our rotation ATM is fucking good

#

rotation is 100% the LEAST of our issues

eternal edge
slow saddle
#

like we got a good prio list atm Procc based spec

#

that is what we are it flows Well esp slayer

tight wing
slow saddle
#

now collosus struggles, but thats design choices of blizzard less to do with actual rotation

tight wing
#

idk the colo's main smash sucks

#

imo anyways

#

mostly bc you can't move when casting it

thick kelp

Im so ready to orange parse these easy fights. they are so made for arms warrior. ilvl 234 rn

thick kelp
latent moss
#

wtf

thick kelp
#

#passion

plucky fern
#

arms rotation is fine?
button bloat still there, rage starvation is there, most of buttons dont feel like they have any weight
i've never read something like 'wow arms design is so good' in this channel, sayijng that everyone here likes arms rotation is delusional take

slow saddle
latent moss
#

bro went from 6h per week wr 200 or sum to 6h per week 1k

slow saddle
#

and Rage issues has nothing to do with rotation

latent moss
#

peak

slow saddle
#

the reason buttons doesnt "feel" good, is because ALL our fucking power is allocated into Cleave

thick kelp
#

I could be responsible and make some timers for myself on a timeline

#

if thats even possible

slow saddle
#

B4 they nerfed MS - OP - Dreadnaught - Execute- Deep wounds

thick kelp
#

but honestly

slow saddle
#

my buttons felt quite impactfull

thick kelp
#

who the FUCK is playing arms this tier

#

whos like in a respectable WR

you are

colo arms

:3

latent moss

will i get killed by hammers

shrewd yew
#

Big brain move from blizz.
Can't say it performs poorly this tier if there's no data for it in raid

thick kelp
#

its just me and y ou going back and forth

slow saddle
#

they nerfed the aoe with 20%

#

like i dont mind a Downside to a thing

but it needs to fucking fuck

ahhh

latent moss
#

i hope they just aura buff arms again

gentle gyro
#

They can't make me hate you

#

I will forever play this spec

twilit flare

they are not buffing arms anymore, please stop copeing.

latent moss

and completely forget to nerf cleave so colo is insane in m+

this is it

"few"

i respect it

If only they could double what they gave us

#

30% and even better apex

#

Nerf cleave idc

latent moss
#

@thick kelp is this the most spells on a spec in the game

astral yarrow
#

i'd categorize me going from wr 20 to 60 is a few

tight wing
latent moss
#

tbf i could just remove execute

astral yarrow
#

i hate arms so much man

#

and fury feels bland

latent moss
#

bro u can unbind execute from colo m+ build

astral yarrow
#

and this tier im the only warrior xd

latent moss
#

and u lose like 100 dps

latent moss

tight wing
#

nah

#

they trimmed it but it's still up there

latent moss

"our goal for midnight is to reduce arms cooldown bloat"

4 cds

gentle gyro
#

So which one is the most braindead of them all? Fire?

tight wing
#

frost

gentle gyro
#

No way in hell arms is one of the easier ones

tight wing
#

no, it's just not the most complex

gentle gyro
#

Not saying that it is, a mid ass spec in every regard

spring vale
#

Frost dk and ret have like the fewest damage buttons

gentle gyro
#

Including complexity

tight wing
#

devourer has 4

latent moss
#

idk what spec has more things to think about than colo in m+

gentle gyro
#

Allat just to entirely miss demolish

eternal edge
tight wing
#

whoever recommended I play ret

#

lol

twilit flare
#

I dont like it and will still play it.

plucky fern
# tight wing I feel like any druid has you beat

technically druid has more spells in spellbook that warrior
but they have less 'usable' buttons, most of it is some useless spells or spells intended for other specs, like you dont put mangle on your bar as balance etc
i have a feral as well and i display less spells in CDM than on arms

thick kelp
tacit sandal
#

I have a theory that Arms will average okay, since only tryhard and long-time Arms players will play it and get the maximum out of it, while everyone else will jump on meta classes and therefore lower the overall average logs

thick kelp
#

Kinda fun to play

#

4fun

#

hopefully

gentle gyro
#

(usually s2)

#

Happened since DF

plucky fern
#

eventually they will tune arms to be like middle of the pack

#

cant ignore us this time

#

every streamer or tier list maker makes fun of arms

gentle gyro
#

They (streamers) genuinely don't care

#

They just laugh at us

smoky jungle
#

Well, we still have another week or two of tuning... 35% between the top and the bottom is outside of Blizzard's dps expectations

plucky fern
#

ofc they dont, but if everyone is talking about it then even blizzard will notice

#

that this spec needs god

gentle gyro
#

Someone like Max just says that 99.5% of people shouldn't care about tuning

And you just sit afk in a major hub for 3hrs and leave

I mean i wanna raid as arms

They are completely out of touch

I cant expect my guild carrying a spec thats si much worse

I will keep playing arms until morale improves

100parse arms will probably do less damage than a grey parse warlock

# slow saddle Current tuning makes that impossible

It is not impossible - Play what you love - I had a weak moment about switching to fury a few days ago then swapped back to what I love playing - If your guild is making you switch then its time to make a change. A small percentage of people playing this game will be in a "ZOMG MIFFIC RAYDE FURST!!!!" guild.

Even the most tolerant casual guild will frown when your dps does tank single target

Which you will do if you play arms

hc is too easy and m+ giga blows

now its and em em oh

slow saddle

Bein egotistical in raid is imho not fair

last saddle

arms damage profile will actually make it middle of the pack on some fights this tier so its not completely troll

I mean doubtfull

but some fights it will be troll

thats the copest cope damn

i think it should be decent on the triple pally fight

In delves nobody can make you feel bad for playing dog spec because its just you

And also its delves

unless you ruin delve run

the pally fight is 2targets for most of it right? bc theres one channeling in a big aoe that you cant go in

#

or did i play the vellum fight wrong

sadly arms 2 target is also dog

I don't think anyone is happy with tank level damage from a dps, even people only doing heroic raids

astral yarrow
slow saddle
astral yarrow
#

but you get to hit cleave on 2 targets

#

which is pretty cool

plucky fern
#

thinking arms gets better on 2-3-whatever target fights is pure copium
fury will still do better

slow saddle
#

U have 24 sweep chsrges

#

At 100% dmg

plucky fern
#

you can have 999 sweep charges it doesnt change the fact that you hit like wet noodle

slow saddle
#

I mean we still 2 x our dmg

flint cedar
# eternal edge between that

That is what my guild is. We get our AOTC, have fun and We dip our toes in Mythic later in seasons - Everyone plays what we like and we do decent by our standards. Find you a better guild if they are putting this kind of stress on you.

weak tusk
#

Wdym, it changes the number of sweeping charges

white stratus
#

15% flat dmg boost going to help alot

weak tusk
#

Very impactful

plucky fern
#

you also forget that to get '24 100% seeping charges' you need to invest 3 talents

#

opportunity cost

slow saddle
#

Ofc ofc

#

But still

#

Like its depressin but 2 target we arent a meme

#

Just mid

eternal edge
#

let's cope for another buff huh

plucky fern
#

also idk, people are talking about 'play what you like', but even tho i like arms i just cant enjoy the game when im doing tank damage as dps its just not fun
maybe im not a 'true' arms enjoyer tho

#

its just depressing seeing this numbers

hot spear
#

Idk the gameplay for it is dookie fart too

kindred breach
#

playing what you like does not apply to this game when balancing is garbage

white stratus
#

Ive been running m0s as arms and its no where near as bad as everyone is claiming, plus 15% dmg boost coming. It takes a while to get used to the rotation feeling clunky but i think it feels great (i havent played it since bfa)

livid cloak
weak rain
#

arms aoe is great

white stratus
#

I was top or 2nd dmg on like every single boss

hot spear
livid cloak

Then you were playing with really bad or undergeared players

Arms aoe is fine

Also even easier to keep uptime when you can stand in 99 percent of the mechanics

# eternal edge let's cope for another buff huh

Sure it would be nice for another buff. But 90% of the people here are just posting heavy doom and gloom JUST like the paladin discord. - Do you though. I am enjoying my little dwarf and will be raiding as Arms because it's what I like playing. I don't need validation in a vidja gaim.

can't wait to see only prot war in RWF lol

plucky fern
#

nah i think its still fury for warrior spot, fury is fine you can justify bringing one and brew/bdk tanking

uncut yacht
#

why do you want a bdk?

eternal edge
#

grip

plucky fern
#

idk i just pulled a random class out of nowhere
i have no idea what the tank meta in raid is

#

but historically bdk is pretty good in raid

last saddle
#

i think only the bird needs bdk

#

2 best tanks are prot/brew it feels like

#

they are gonna bring 5 ferals for melee spots

plucky fern
#

feral is kinda bad in multitarget scnarios, its only good in pure st

#

and i believe theres not a single pure st encounter this tier

uncut yacht
#

and you play brew prot cause they do a dps worth of damage

plucky fern
#

i'd bet on warlock/ddh stacking

eternal edge
plucky fern
#

slightly less st damage but ranged and way better on padding

weak tusk
slow saddle
#

Bdk is nice 2 have

#

For overall raid dmg effecienct

white stratus
#

if its that bad then why are we just getting 15% and ret paladins are getting mega buffs

slow saddle
#

Rets st was cut

plucky fern
#

its also possible that some bosses can be cheesed with solo tanking bdk

slow saddle
#

To 15%

slow saddle
#

For 1 week its an agressive tuning

plucky fern
tight wing
#

exsists

plucky fern
#

why did we get 3 consecutive nerf when being the worst spec in the game already
and why its only 15% compensation

white stratus
#

honestly i think it will be fine

slow saddle
#

As i said rets buff was cut 2 15% not 30%🤣

tight wing
#

shadow exists

slow saddle
#

Dno impact

plucky fern
#

also aurabuffing arms is stupid
we need direct huge buffs to solo target abilities

#

aoe is fine

astral yarrow
#

thank god the coming 12.0.5 changes are a net nerf as well

plucky fern
#

we dont need a fking aurabuff

eternal edge
#

shadow just got another buff

astral yarrow
#

arms was bordering on being serviceable

plucky fern
#

we need 50% ms damage or something

astral yarrow
white stratus
#

this is a good example on why meta class specs is dumb af lol, if arms warriors arent going to get invited whats the point in the playing the game at all

eternal edge
#

tbf, we need a revert on MS and slam nerf

astral yarrow
slow saddle
#

U sign as fury

tight wing
#

yeah tbf Meta is NOT something determined by the devs

#

not really at least

slow saddle
#

Switch in dungeon

astral yarrow
#

i have done that on a feral druid

#

when they sucked bedge

eternal edge
tight wing
#

they cause it, but they don't dictate it, you don't see meta or tier lists as an option for classes in game, those are made by the community and in a lot of cases determined through personal likes and dislikes rather than raw numbers or actual usefulness. Which is why Tier lists are so dangerous now, obviously this is not always the case but you have to keep it in mind

white stratus
#

like the devs dont know that increasing ret paladin damage while giving scraps to the other lacking classes wont bring in any money kek

#

were going to get 5% with our tier also xD

tight wing
white stratus
tight wing
#

it happens everywhere wdym lol

#

even in single player games, it's just not quite as obvious or intrusive

white stratus
#

i play turtle wow and it isent like that, every class is tuned to where all classes matter. i also play swtor and nobody cares what damage you play on that game

#

er class rather

tight wing
#

swtor?

white stratus
#

star wars the old republic

tight wing
#

ahh

white stratus
#

theres this allies chat, basically LFG people post LFM in there and i never got declined and it is no where near as long as trying to get a dps spot on wow

tight wing
#

tbf though, I feel like private servers aren't good examples because they stagnate pretty easily. so when you've had decades to learn from other peoples mistakes it's pretty easy to make something balanced, can't say anything about SWtOR bc I've never played it

slow saddle
#

M8

#

Its players

white stratus

wym, Wow has been out for like 20 years its obviously by design

slow saddle

Wow is decently balanced

last saddle

🦾

slow saddle

Apart from prepatches like now

But when ppl hunt 25s

#

Ofc 2% matters

#

Like, i was arms last tier did not struggle with invites until like 18s

If you queue up for normal raids you'll get in as any spec too with decent gear

And by then its ok 2 want meta

Your point wasn't proven, it was null before u made it

I tried to get people who looked like they needed the gear more, mostly because I knew they'd have a harder time finding a group

slow saddle

So irl

#

U are job hunting

#

U apply for job 200 apply u have the 50th best resume. Who will be hired?

#

Not u bitch

#

Such is life

tight wing
#

yeah but it's so dumb to open an entry level job that has a req of 15 years experience -_-

slow saddle
#

Y but if ppl with experience apply

#

U take em

slow saddle
tight wing
#

yeah but you reaaally shouldn't expect it, likely hood is they'll get a MUCH better opportunity and you've just gatekept for no reason

slow saddle
#

exactly. and u have to be ok with that

#

and in M0 thats a non issue

#

heck as i said until 18s-19s i had no issues last tier and arms was percieved as pretty garbo

tight wing
#

yeah, esp late season or End of expansion

slow saddle
#

i mean no matter when

#

early ppl just want score and gear tbh

white stratus
#

yeah but at the end its a stupid design flaw, like obviously ilvl and raiderio is a toxic addition to the game.

astral yarrow
#

ELO is also giga toxic in chess 😡

tight wing
#

again, Raider IO is player made -_-

white stratus
#

everyone wants the best runs for sure who wants to wipe 100 times on a dungeon, i get that 100% but its singles out alot of players from playing the game

tight wing
#

M+ score is in game, but not the tool for it

astral yarrow
tight wing
#

I try to only do stuff I've pushed up to

#

unless I've been really unlucky with keys and have most of them high and a couple at +2 still

slow saddle
#

like

#

its an MMO

#

the flaw is with the ppl playing it

#

or u

#

wanting to be carried

#

them not wanting to carry u

slow saddle
#

i got invites id never c if not

white stratus
#

im just here to play a game, idk why you're trying to pretend you are a top 1%

slow saddle
#

because

#

doing 18s

#

is top 1%

#

^_^

white stratus
#

yikes

slow saddle
#

and if u just want to play the game

#

10s are there

white stratus
#

im glad the game was catered to folks like you!

slow saddle
#

EXACTLY IT ISNT

#

its catered to u

#

10s give max loot

livid cloak
#

Bro Oliver you are just posting L after L

slow saddle

u never have to step into anything above that

Just leave it be

If gokke can do 18s on dog spec anyone can

and agreed

i respect the moleman though

Don't we all sadge

astral yarrow

i've been trying to avoid it in prepatch

im a solid 12 hour player since hitting 90

slow saddle

he wants to play, but he doesnt wanna make a group // friends also he wants INSTA invite as a dps player

livid cloak
slow saddle
#

wasnt it ?

livid cloak
#

Wow we were both 1 percent gamers as arms

spring vale
#

It seems ironic from delve enjoyer like me but any time ive had to do m+ and I dont wanna wait I just make my own group and that shit fills so fast + u get to be the one picking

slow saddle
#

well it was AT LEAST

#

1 % of Arms

livid cloak
#

LOL

livid cloak
#

I think 3k was 1 percent as arms tbf

slow saddle
#

hahaa

#

i mean why bother when fury did everything better i get it 😄

slow saddle
#

you are going to have a bad time ^_^

#

is that the games fault though ?

stable fiber
#

A bit of the games fault

spring vale
#

You gotta be willing to brick a couple of your keys along the way but it is what it is

stable fiber
#

For being ass

tight wing
#

I find it funny, that the better a player you actually are, the less of an elitist you are LOL

slow saddle
#

ofc

tight wing
#

just a realist xD

slow saddle
#

the hardest key bracket to enter

#

7-10s

spring vale
#

Real

slow saddle
#

man ive had some mean mofos

livid cloak
#

12s were a nightmare

stable fiber
slow saddle
#

i stupped doing 12's

#

and went into like 15-16s

#

coz ppl were nicer

#

also with gear 12s was over so fast no fun 😄

spring vale
#

The new laddered system where its a lot harder to deplete if you do them all at a certain key level will prob do wonders for pug experience

tight wing
#

nah

slow saddle
#

what system ?

tight wing
#

it'll make it worse

#

Resiliant keys

slow saddle
#

ah

stable fiber
#

Deadass the 10-12 bracket is so shit because the people who build groups there think they need a certain group comp to do it

spring vale
#

Ye

slow saddle
#

ye resi keys Sucks

#

not cos of resi but coz of PPL 😄

vapid pine
#

We don't need to speculate, we had resilient for a whole season. Shit's pretty much the same

slow saddle
#

resi key = i can sell it to the highest bidder

spring vale
#

What a shame

slow saddle
#

it was a good idea, but ppl wanted TIPS to join

tight wing
#

I only say it'll make it worse, because that means the players who ARE elitist can get higher

astral yarrow
slow saddle
#

😉

#

ikr

livid cloak
#

Resil keys are great to help friends get io

tight wing
#

100%

slow saddle
#

u are gettin us the shitters 😄

livid cloak
#

Nah it just makes it easier if there's an early wipe or bad skip or whatever

slow saddle
#

the ppl with 0 cc 0 interrupt and mediocre dmg ... u know em 😄

vapid pine
#

Keys should only be resilient if everyone in the group has it on resilient tbh

livid cloak
#

Saves the time to level it back up

#

Still have to time it

slow saddle
#

yes but when he then has a timed 18 and inv expecting a decent player in a pug

#

i get ya friend u carried, now i must carry

#

^_^

#

u sir are an arsehole ( also i did the same kek ) 😄

thorn stream
#

i think he meant getting friends and poor players to smth like 12s easily

#

for them to learn the game

#

i love my friends but couldnt be arsed to drag them into resil 18s if they are not ready for it

livid cloak
#

Nah I meant helping my friends get 15s and 16s last season

tight wing
#

but people are so dumb about them when they're lower. I keep having people leave after 1 death bc "oh you won't lose any progress anyways" (this would have been true if: there wasn't a tank crisis(took like 2 hours to find a tank) and if the rest of the group didn't leave too) -_-

thorn stream
#

get them started to smth lower

slow saddle
#

as shit starts to hurt enough to incentivize better play

slow saddle
#

but i did skip very fast over 10-12s

#

most of my keys ppl finished

#

ofc now u have to choose the "mood" of the key

#

so i would say elitist ppl take elitist setting

#

the rest of us take casual 🙂

vapid pine
#

Lack of tanks and healers is unironically the biggest problem in wow atm

slow saddle
#

nah

#

its to many freaking DPS players

tight wing
slow saddle

just kill of some

Like ARMS

😭

slow saddle
high snow

the most elitist shit playerbase resides within the 10-12 range.. 13s and up are way more chill

then u are there for score

but thats the "contract"

12-13 ish iirc

fair xD

i always asked ppl if they stay to finish b4 we start

#

if i was in doubt at all i booted em

I should start asking instead of just putting it in desc

slow saddle

Also

#

never take meta

#

just dont

#

in the lower range

tight wing
#

oh yeah, I try to avoid meta at all costs

slow saddle
#

they are reroller fotm idiots and suck coz they are stuck at that key lvl

slow saddle
#

i avoid mages as well

slow saddle

u cant cure idiot

#

its part of being in an game with other ppl

#

and in life

tight wing
slow saddle
#

hahaha

#

i do love how they made healing easier in their head

white stratus
#

you guys pvp at all or naw?

slow saddle
#

problem is, when u lower skill cealing ( aka interrupts ) you get less agency as well

tight wing
#

they made it SO much more stressful T-T

slow saddle
#

ikr

#

as i said, less agency = more stress but ofc also easier in 10-12s

#

i havent rly pvped since TBC where i needed the gear from it

tight wing
#

I PvP in training grounds bc I'm lazy and don't feel like getting yelled at for targeting the guy they told me to target -_-

white stratus
#

lol healers are stupidely unkillable in pvp

slow saddle
#

😄

tight wing
slow saddle
#

i mean i guess depends whatu u play

white stratus
#

LOL right

tight wing
#

the healing reduc is a godsend against healers

slow saddle
#

also if 1 player could easily kill 1 healer

#

there would be tuning issues

#

in pvp

white stratus
#

i honestly dont even notice it, sometimes were like 5 guys trying to kill some holy priest and forget it

tight wing
slow saddle
#

think arena

#

also if u are 5 guys

#

u are horrid

#

ngl

#

thats 5 interrupts 10 stuns

#

how the F does he live

#

if u can time anything just remotely

white stratus
#

stuns have diminishing returns you cant stun more than twice in a row within a certain amount of time

restive ledge
slow saddle
#

once u hit high keys

slow saddle
#

Stupid usually oneshots

#

which is kindda lovely

tight wing
#

I feel like WoW needs a new healer that doesn't have a weird range

slow saddle
#

we have more than enough healing classes tbh

#

pala-shaman-priest-evo-arms warrior ( or well dmg so low its basicly healing )

white stratus
#

lmao

slow saddle
#

tbf

#

most of it is tanks being overtuned in st

#

unless new theme is tanks being 70% the dmg of a dp

#

s

slow saddle
#

we could use a healer like Priest

tight wing
slow saddle
#

where u got 2 healing specs

#

problem is rly

#

that TOP dps spec is what 116

#

TOP tank spec 90k

#

that very close imho

#

but also means that BM vs arms is

#

well

#

how should i put it

#

1 to 1 in dps almost 😄

#

prot war setting at 70k makes perfect sense imho so prob just around 70k vs 110k dps seems fair enough

tight wing
#

yeah, and prot has always been one of the harder hitting tanks
