it's a bit noisy at the moment while people are figuring out the "optimial" timings, but it's a visual timeline of the top ~50 logs for a fight, broken down into when they cast their major CDs

#

can filter to see things like defensive usage, pot, various CDs

#

a little easier to see the two variations when you look at the first boss actually, here:

#

it's nice gladge

nova marsh
#

Guys

#

8 and 9 keys always suck huh

sharp goblet
#

huh, is there anything similar to this for M+? visualization wise, I know I can dig through logs on warcraftlogs

jaunty drift
nova marsh
#

Like worse then usual

#

Dude I did shroud skip on my rogue for the end of academy

jaunty drift
#

Good thing I ain’t puggin

#

lol

nova marsh
#

The dumbass mage body pulled it

jaunty drift
#

Guy can prolly identify windows by the taste

#

Impressive levels of retardium

nova marsh
#

Like there was no true sight

#

Should've been a straight shot to get the last two mobs but nope

#

No +2 for me

blazing elm
#

Is crucible of erratic energies a strong trinket? Bloodmallet has no info on it

bleak fog
#

Can you change so you target pops out more with the ingame healthbar?

#

I know it's not optimal but I wanna get it to work somewhat πŸ˜„

minor gust
pulsar frost
#

8s are so free

#

9 is pretty free unless your group is mental

rose ibex
#

Everything is easy

slow saddle
#

did a 10 nexus timed with 2 whipes 1 being at a boss with a LONG ass walk

#

only key so far i feel has been unforgiving = aa

#

esp last boss

minor gust
#

Was 2-3 chesting 10s all yesterday. Shits very easy with how geared we arr

slow saddle
#

was mean man

elder path
#

Yea I was able to 2 chest an 11 NPX with ease and would have been able to time the 12 we bricked but we missed a crucial cast and wiped

slow saddle
#

Y nexus seems very very forgiving

vapid spire
#

Did they forgot to add back the /abandon feature ?

pulsar frost
#

its there

worldly rivet
cobalt lodge
#

been playing around with colo a bit now and man, gotta say, single target is absolute butt cheeks. its so bad

#

and no BS just feels so weird

nova marsh
#

If your party has braincells

#

Pugs dont

slow saddle
#

I mean bs feels meh anyways

#

But tank esque st is tough

vapid spire
pulsar frost
#

not sure the actual commend as i never done it, but you can still right click and vote to abandon on your protrait

vapid spire
#

Yeah its not there anymore

pulsar frost
#

should be there, as i did it yesterday

#

since pugs are dodo

cobalt lodge
#

so idk if its even worth to invest time into

pulsar frost
#

slayers dead in .0.5

slow saddle
#

I play fury atm

pulsar frost
#

let it pass

slow saddle
#

I wanna play arms but its a hassle when fury atm is better at every content

cobalt lodge
#

only thing ive been thinking of is just getting my keystone rank that i want pre 12.0.5 and drop it for an alt once 0.5. hits

#

but frost mages cried enough about losing 2nd ray of frost, surely theyll revert some of these changes?

slow saddle
#

Lel

cobalt lodge
#

makes me lose all remaining motivation to play arms ngl

#

they just going the wod demo route

shy oyster
#

Slayer's not lookin' good aye. I love playing Colossus even as Prot tho so it's not as feelsbad...

cobalt lodge
#

slayer's apparently so bad that it's a grief to play it around +10. its just legit garbage

minor gust
#

Guarantee I can shit out so much more dmg than thane right now and barely be behind in ST

#

Cleave go brrr

cobalt lodge
#

only for it to get nerfed into nothingness with 0.5 lol

rose ibex
#

Maybe people dont have enough haste and aren't getting enough procs to make slayer more consistent for higher keys

cobalt lodge
#

i think at this point its about both performance and it feeling like doodoo

shy oyster
#

I've never really played Slayer in anything but that one time I struggled with the delve boss in season 2 of TWW...

#

so uh... i'll stay out of this wheelhouse rofl.

#

Even trying it now for serviceable ST during pure ST fights is new to me

cobalt lodge
#

its better than colo for pure st, and that is about it. and its more fun to play

shy oyster
#

That's what I hear yeah. I dont mind switching between both tbh. And i've long ago accepted I shouldn't play Arms for meta plays

#

I just love the power of BONK

#

or uhm... spin2win ig as slayer

regal prism
#

How does everyone know Slayer is getting gutted next patch?

cobalt lodge
#

reap the storm gets obliterated in 0.5

#

triggers less frequently from cleave and no longer from SD exes

shy oyster
#

No fricking idea -why-, but what the hell.

valid walrus
cobalt lodge
#

very likely arms will go back to only dps in c tier with 0.5

#

even shadow only lasted under a week in there

valid walrus
#

And I don't get why, arms wasn't meta or giga broken for xpacs long ago

cobalt lodge
#

arms just needs a massive, enormous rework

#

survival hunter levels of rework

regal prism
#

Arms was really good at the end BFA before they revamped mastery. #1 damage was the bleed dot on meters πŸ™‚

#

Let me take you to back to the past πŸ™‚

rancid robin
#

Yooo arms is pumping sooo hard in M+ wtf

minor gust
#

Always has

pine wyvern
#

Quick Question:
Do we legit want 27 Flat Armor instead of 115 Stamina on our Legs? Sounds weird, am I missing something? O.o

shy oyster
#

That doesn't sound right...

minor gust
#

You make the choice

brisk briar
#

More armour is more strength through talent choice iirc

minor gust
#

Do you want a very minimal str gain or more hp

pine wyvern
#

Blood Knights and Forest Hunter both give 41 Mainstat, only Dif is 27 Flat Armor on BK and 115 Stam on FH

minor gust
#

(if you don't take stam something is wrong with you)

pine wyvern
minor gust
#

More armor is just more dmg that all

pine wyvern
#

But 27 Flat Armor, how miniscule is that Dmg Gain in Comp to 115 Stam? πŸ˜„

split ocean
minor gust
slow saddle
#

Fuck that

minor gust
#

Same concept with the Crit gem vs move speed gem in TWW

slow saddle
#

Armor it is

cobalt lodge
minor gust
#

If you took Crit gem vs Move speed you might be a bit of a silly goose

cobalt lodge
#

must be playing with some bad dps

slow saddle
#

Aoe is good so pretty accurate id say?

#

Arms still sims below 100k and uhdk sims 130

cobalt lodge
#

arms is still both rage starved and suffers from big buttons hitting like wet noodles

slow saddle
#

I mean collosus played well does great aoe

minor gust
#

The buffs add up

slow saddle
#

Cleave fucks

minor gust
#

Tbh Colo > thane

slow saddle
#

I mean overall id disageee

#

The st is just a lot better

minor gust
#

Not really

#

Did both fury and arms keys yesterday.

#

Colo claps just like it did in TWW

#

Meh ST pumper aoe

shy oyster
#

Yeah, just twiddle your fingers when its just ST

#

do your best sure, but accept you wont do much and its NOT your fault

minor gust
#

I was keeping up in ST just fine

#

Fell a lil bit behind against good ST specs, but Colo super garbage ST propaganda is over

#

It's meh ST now

gaunt owl
rose ibex
#

My frost mage friend doubles my dps in single target but he does have 4pc

slow saddle
#

Do u have 4p?

rose ibex
#

No

#

I don't even have 1pc

#

Im 253 ilvl

slow saddle
#

I mean col 4p vs uh dk

rose ibex
#

My stats are decent but there's a few items I could replace. Trinkets are the crit one from skyreach and the haste one from windrunner

shy oyster
# minor gust It's meh ST now

M'yeah, same feeling too - but only started evening of reset. Gonna see myself for raid tonight. But HONESTLY... don't really give a fuck if my ST is meh πŸ˜‚ too tired to rebel anymore.

lime ruin
#

WW monk Zenith design wise is just better than colossus smash. It works the way arms warrior CD should work

rose ibex
#

Ive been playing slayer in keys and it seems to be fine

minor gust
shy oyster
#

Oh. Thought both πŸ˜‚

rose ibex
#

Like even though my buddy doubles my dps on bosses, I feel like i can put my burst out more frequently than everyone so my damage is not bad at all

#

So overall dungeon damage is pretty good.

My outlaw rogue friend was doing about the same damage and his gear is definitely better. Frost mage was still beating me but he's a 4pc frost mage with insane gear so im not really concerned about that

shy oyster
#

Frost mage is also pretty good all round

#

Dont bother comparison πŸ˜‚

minor gust
#

Whatever your opinion is right now won't matter till you get 4set

#

Don't bother comparing

rose ibex
#

Thats kinda my point. If I had 4pc i think my damage would be as good for dungeon

cobalt lodge
#

and watch your healer outdps you

rose ibex
#

He wasnt much ahead. Im happy with slayer

minor gust
slow saddle
#

As he saids.its meh

#

Not horrid

minor gust
rose ibex
#

Like frost mage is putting out 120k dps and im like 60k but hes only like 15% ahead on overall dungeon damage so I must be doing something right

cobalt lodge
#

it plays like garbage as well. looking at the meters and the majority of your breakdown is just cleave. reduced to a 1 button class lol. we're playing 2005 frost mage over here

slow saddle
#

Tbf arms st could in gen use another 10% buff

rose ibex
#

Most of my damage is reap the storm whatchu talking about

#

Schwing schwing schwing

#

Spin spin spin

minor gust
slow saddle
#

Probably

rose ibex
#

Perhaps our single target being bad can be fixed with talents

slow saddle
#

I mean 10% aura buff 10% nerf cleave

rose ibex
#

New talents and tweaked talents

#

Dungeon damage is fine

shy oyster
#

I'll take more cleave nerf for more ST

slow saddle
rose ibex
#

Its awful

#

Teeeeerrible

cobalt lodge
#

arms could get a 20+% aura buff and would be middle of the pack at best

slow saddle
#

Nah dam

#

That would be

#

118k ish

rose ibex
#

If we got 20% aura buff we would be kings of m+

slow saddle
#

Top mid

#

🀣

minor gust
#

Ignore him he's using talking points from 3 weeks ago

slow saddle
#

I mean st wise

#

20% st more still is not insane

rose ibex
#

Dude is straight drinking and spitting from youtube propaganda

slow saddle
#

97k now another 19k

#

116k st puts us where

minor gust
rose ibex
#

Not that I am against youtube still saying we need help. More buffs always welcome

minor gust
#

Would be good yeah

#

Then Colo def is much better than fury in keys

#

Wouldn't even be close.

rose ibex
#

Blizzard will be able to tune better once race is over

#

The best we can hope for is a swift race

minor gust
#

There's tuning scheduled next week

#

And doubt race will go longer than a week

rose ibex
#

Im thinking about trying colossus for dragon fight just to cheese the meter as much as I can with demolish

lyric lagoon
#

Guys i'm seeing so many different talent builds being run in m+ , is there an updated talent build in the making or?

minor gust
#

Colo build on wowhead

rose ibex
#

Or maybe I just ignore adds and just full send always nonstop on slayer

lyric lagoon
slow saddle
#

Do u have 4p

lyric lagoon
#

yes

slow saddle
#

U shouldnt do shit st then

lyric lagoon
#

its me then

minor gust
#

Yeah sounds like a you problem

#

Hit up the priority guide and get practicing

#

And press cleave

slow saddle
#

In st?

fervent cedar
minor gust
#

During ravager and execute yes

rose ibex
#

Single target still crap but if you tank bunches things well you can do really good numbers

minor gust
#

M0s aren't good dats

rose ibex
#

True

#

But I definitely dont feel weak so far

#

Only did 7s last night tho

fervent cedar
#

I was still thinking pre 15% aura buff tbh

rose ibex
fervent cedar
#

I did a +9 last night and did like 105k overall, 2pc shit trinkets no myth weapon

rose ibex
#

But things could never stay that bad. Things are going to change even more

#

Game goes forward

fervent cedar
#

But of course monk buff and Shaman so that definitely helped significantly

rose ibex
#

Best raid advice is to make good friends who dont give a shit about what you play

fervent cedar
#

See i get that

cobalt lodge
#

at least in 2-3 weeks it doesnt matter what you play during farm

fervent cedar
#

But at the same time it feels a bit disrespectful to them to go out of my way to play something that underperforms
I want to pull my weight

rose ibex
#

Also, this expansion is easy in dungeon and raid outside the dragon fight where 1 mistake wipes everyone

rose ibex
#

If other people are forcing it then they frankly suck

shy oyster
rose ibex
#

We crush paladins

#

We have our moment to shine

fervent cedar
#

Yes arms on paladins was amazing

rose ibex
#

And we aren't blatantly busted like mm

#

Mm did sooooo overbearingly well that they got slapped hard in the jaw for it

shy oyster
#

You'd have to be a really delusional and insane and sniffing on Streamer ass to ignore how much Arms contributes to M+ and cleave/add fights

rose ibex
#

I love this spec because it feels like something old with a few modernized ribbons and whistles taped on

fervent cedar
#

Add damage is definitely important but it does feel a bit paddy no?

#

Depending on the fight ofc

rose ibex
#

Thats the raid

#

Its all padding

#

And lemme tell you I think im going to just not bother with it anymore when frost mages can delete adds in a blink from range

fervent cedar
#

Fr lol

rose ibex
#

My bladestorm does shit all for the adds

#

And if you cleave combo they are all dead by the 2nd cleave

minor gust
#

Welcome to week 2 when you already out gear heroic

rose ibex
#

People are INSANELY well geared

minor gust
#

You ain't gonna pad on shit till you get to mythic

fervent cedar
#

I was playing slayer fury on dragons and being like "im gonna bladestorm the adds" and i mistime my cd and they all evaporate anyways without any input from me

minor gust
#

I did 120k on dragons this week

#

It ain't ever happening again

nova marsh
#

Bro

#

I'm gonna go jump off a bridge

normal cape
#

Hey skyhold warriors πŸ™‚ I will be going for arms warr this season no matter what everyone says. Is there any one trick or frequent uploader who makes some reliable content on youtube for arms solely?

rose ibex
#

The most important thing (for a group worthy of your time) is that you do the mechanics, use your defensives, and the boss dies. Everyone is there for loot. Warrior blasphemy i know, but sometimes there are more important things than number go up especially this early

shy oyster
#

Or well, the only source i've found that isn't some youtuber shouting in my ear as for 20 minutes of why Fury is better before they finally get onto Arms :eyeroll:

minor gust
#

There ain't no arms content creators just fury players when they are forced to play arms

rose ibex
minor gust
#

Used to be Critcake for the longest time but he hates arms these days

shy oyster
#

QwQ

rose ibex
#

But he pretty much just goes over archi's guide

normal cape
#

I mean, I have read up on the guides. But I'd like to watch someone play arms in keys/raids aswell too

#

I will look into it thanks ❀️

shy oyster
#

Yeah, Archi's guides pretty good. As for any streams and vids, I've none to offer sadly

rose ibex
#

It performs well in keys

normal cape
#

I dont really care about the 'tier list meta' I want to hit something with my big sword

modern cove
rose ibex
old glacier
#

Well, at least I have defensive abilities as arms...

rose ibex
#

Real

normal cape
#

Yeah exactly no fotm for me. Just enjoying the vibe and crits

minor gust
normal cape
#

Love you all have a great evening

rose ibex
minor gust
#

Critcake was an arms one trick for many many years

slow saddle
wild lion
#

Keep the arms dream alive

old glacier
#

Raid/group lead: "Pop defensives here." Me: "Eeeeeh"

naive crescent
#

oh shit hes playing slayer

minor gust
#

Oh no

#

Poor Critcake incoming is slayer better than Colo questions @daring heron

languid torrent
#

who needs to play fury

#

πŸ’ͺ

soft dew
#

Any of you got the recrafting issue?

wild lion
#

Dont know how it works so no

cobalt lodge
proud remnant
#

someone share his arms build please

#

slayer

fresh spire
dire hinge
#

and pull sizes are too varied

#

it's also why reviewing M+ Logs is a nightmare

rose ibex
#

Bah he went back to fury

shy oyster
#

Damn.

rancid robin
#

Not bad πŸ˜„

shut token
#

does it seem right that I rarely have to press slam in ST except for when heroic strike procs?

rancid robin
#

y u press it if everything is down xd

shy oyster
#

jeh, its ur lil' rage spender

gusty oxide
#

That's uh...nice?

#

( new 12.0.5 ptr note)

topaz python
#

saved?

unborn canyon
#

It's better, but also bad

river ridge
#

We did it!

#

Thats way better

unborn canyon
#

Like, still means reap is only aoe

river ridge
#

We keep the Reap on AoE for Sudden Death

#

They get to remove the single target aspect of it

topaz python
#

it wouldn't matter in aoe, you pretty much always have SS

#

but ST gonna suffer

unborn canyon
#

Yeah, but having a bunch of your hero talents not do anything in ST sucks

tacit crystal
topaz python
#

PTR notes

#

12.0.5

unborn coral
#

Can't wait to hit 3 or more targets with cleave via improved whirlwind

rose ibex
#

Dude

#

Maybe reap not totally dead in future now

#

Just need sweeping strikes up

eternal edge
#

man

#

i like it tbh

slender sonnet
#

Imo they should buff arms

unborn canyon
#

I think they could have just kept it at having 100% proc at all times from SD

eternal edge
#

@minor gust it's not so bad how they did it actually

unborn canyon
#

So reap still does something in ST

eternal edge
#

especially when you have SS like everytime

warm fog
#

Reap now purely aoe

rose ibex
#

Still scuffed for single target tho

hushed pine
#

Arguably worse

river ridge
#

Well blizzard wanted to unpair Reap procs in Single Target

hushed pine
#

It's like WoD again, having to have an add next to boss to maximize dps lmao

river ridge
#

If this is how we keep Sudden Death in AoE then I'll take it

nova marsh
#

yeah ST is fucked again

#

They just n eed

#

to make an ST reap

hushed pine
#

Let's keep crying about it, maybe they'll change it to something better lmao

nova marsh
#

The only way it becomes better is if we get a seperate proc like reap for just one target

river ridge
#

I don't think you're going to get any better

nova marsh
#

It still gives ST the bird for no reason

eternal edge
#

imo it's for the best at large cause they can now buff ST alone without being pranked by that proc

#

but we need a buff again

warm fog
nova marsh
#

Okay but still

#

How many hero trees have major talents like reap that have a couple tie in effects

#

just literally useless in ST

warm fog
#

If this paves the way for MS to truck

river ridge
#

Honest question no troll.

nova marsh
warm fog
#

Are you asking how many specs have hero talents designed around aoe spells?

nova marsh
#

No

#

as in

eternal edge
#

sorry but our spec works in ST, we're just undertuned

nova marsh
#

How many trees have something that have multiple hooks like reap does (overwhelmed, doesn't reap also increase bladestorm hits)

#

And are literally worthless in ST

valid walrus
#

So did they just fix back the sudden death reap the storm? Just weaker

hushed pine
#

Reap doesn't increase Bladestorm hits though

minor gust
#

It's purely for aoe

unborn canyon
#

So weaker

#

Cause it can't do it in ST

minor gust
#

If you compare it to what it is right now sure

nova marsh
#

Idk I just think it's silly

fervent cedar
#

Ok so reap is still giga dead in st

minor gust
#

But they will have to do retuning

nova marsh
#

To remove reap from ST

#

Sure you can tune it

fervent cedar
#

That fury change is really interesting though

unborn canyon
#

Yeah, they should keep it as it is now, I don't know who asked for it to be changed from the current version

proud remnant
#

reap shouldnt be a single target thing anyway. Doesnt make sense

nova marsh
#

Blizz changed it because apparently it's too hard to balance or smth

#

...

#

Well neither does bladestorm

#

but here we!

proud remnant
#

lol

minor gust
proud remnant
#

yeah big buffs coming to single target im sure

nova marsh
#

I mean arms is overdue for ST buffs anyways

fervent cedar
#

Yeah if this is what they needed to open the path for st buffs im all for it

minor gust
#

Blizzard met us in the middle and gave SD AOE again

#

Just only during SS

nova marsh
#

Blizz basically did what I thought they would

hushed pine
#

I won't believe you for now and I'll call it coping but if we do get buffs, feel free to call me a clown lmao

rose ibex
minor gust
#

Which they will do

unborn canyon
#

I just think it's weird, cause unless they suddenly push slayer to be better than Colossus in aoe, these changes mean just a ST nerf cause we rocking slayer in ST

proud remnant
#

they are pushing slayer aoe

#

they buffed bladestorm dmg by 20%

#

as well

#

in the next patch

rose ibex
#

Not even next patch

#

Isnt 12.05 set for may or something

proud remnant
#

ya

hushed pine
rose ibex
#

Waaaaay far off. Beyond when the dust settles from everyone getter tier sets

eternal edge
#

it's a 6% dmg loss in ST, so they obviously will buff our ST dmg

#

(around that)

minor gust
rose ibex
#

Tuning is always wild ride

#

You always gotta roll with it

minor gust
#

Still no point just like beta worrying about numbers till the patch is almost ready

unborn canyon
rose ibex
#

Part of the fun is squeezing value where you can

minor gust
#

Whatever you think it's a nerf or a buff right now doesn't matter

valid walrus
rose ibex
#

And some classes are just way harder to tune than others

eternal edge
#

it's a buff in multi, a nerf on ST
But it definitely will be easier to buff ST after that change imo

valid walrus
#

I just don't understand why they nerfed Arms so many times before only to have to buff us again monkahmm

eternal edge
#

don't get me wrong i don't like it, but it's not so bad than it appears and it potentially makes sense

slow saddle
eternal edge
slow saddle
#

Hmm how sl

#

Sd reaps now

#

And cleave reaps npw

#

And ms reaps

rose ibex
slow saddle
#

It cant rly be a buff

rose ibex
#

And are overcorrecting

slow saddle
#

I mean buff ms 30%.more

eternal edge
slow saddle
#

No?

eternal edge
#

yup

valid walrus
slow saddle
rose ibex
#

Ngl the change above gives them more tuning precision for slayer. It lets them directly buff reap to buff slayer aoe without affect warrior single target on a whole

#

I think its a good change

slow saddle
#

Cleave has 15% now

#

Sd has 100%

#

How we get.more procs?🀣

rose ibex
slow saddle
eternal edge
eternal edge
#

was not reading 2nd line correctly ma bad

slow saddle
#

Who cares 😁

#

For fury its nice thojhh

#

Moving power away from bt is good

eternal edge
#

so we'll have same procs or around but no procs in ST only

steep osprey
#

Ngl this is not a bad idea

slow saddle
#

Makes reap a dead talent though

#

In st

minor gust
#

They will very very very likely just buff slayers strike massively to compensate for reap loss in st

eternal edge
#

Bruh, we had that before in DF, come on

steep osprey
rose ibex
#

I hope so

#

Slayer strike procs are so fun

slow saddle
#

Passive hit with no skill

fervent cedar
#

The important thing is that they have a lot more freedom to make adjustments for single target

slow saddle
#

Or hear me out

steep osprey
#

this is not a bad change

slow saddle
#

Buff execute and ms

steep osprey
#

They have more freedom to add buffs to different things

eternal edge
#

it's a logical change even if we don't like it

slow saddle
#

I mean sd only

#

Works 2

steep osprey
#

Well, SD lack of AoE is the entire reason we didn't like the original change

#

This is fine since you can still use SD on AoE

rose ibex
eternal edge
#

and now they can buff ST on both specs (Colo and Slayer)

steep osprey
#

We should all praise @minor gust for making this happen

rose ibex
#

Its difficult to buff single target without affecting multi target even more and such

steep osprey
#

@minor gust Change your name btw lmao

vapid spire
#

Did they forgot to nerf bear

steep osprey
#

They did nerf bear twice

shy oyster
#

Welcome Slayer 12.0

steep osprey
#

20% + 20%

slow saddle
#

Wtf

steep osprey
#

They're still insane lol

slow saddle
#

Did the bear do

shy oyster
tight wing
#

I want what that bear is on

eternal edge
#

whith that change, we can hope to have a buff in both heroic spec in ST in easy mode i guess

steep osprey
rose ibex
# vapid spire Did they forgot to nerf bear

Supposedly one of bear's issues is that content is not difficult enough for them so they can just use all their rage on damage instead of defense which is partly why their numbers are stupid

tight wing
#

xD

slow saddle
#

Well.mby 30s

rose ibex
#

Well, things arent always tested intelligently

nova marsh
rose ibex
#

Im just saying what I heard

#

Tanks should do damage

#

Tanks need to be fun

nova marsh
#

I mean I do agree but like

rose ibex
#

We need more tanks

Well, there are like 200 new messages.
We are happy about keeping reap the storm on AoE right?

nova marsh

Do tanks need to be able to match dps

steep osprey

#

So slayer still f’d in .5?

slow saddle

Tanks shouldnt do dps dmg

nova marsh

Yeah im a bit tired of tanks just being dos with defensives

I mean i wouΓΈd

I dont give a rats ass about pvp

tawdry bear
rose ibex
#

Like my opinion on that is starting to turn but I dont know why you would even bring dps if tanks could put out the same damage

tawdry bear
#

We are too stronk

rose ibex
#

So thats a different problem

slow saddle
#

Y well 12.05 is a not tuning, its design change

tight wing
#

Tanks should be doing about 65-75% of dps damage imo

steep osprey
#

Because tuning is not part of these changes

#

they're mechanical changes

slow saddle
#

2/3rds

rose ibex
#

I just want tanks to have fun because they got it hard enough as it is

slow saddle
#

I mean bigger pulls is fun as tank when u live em

tight wing
#

I only go to 75 because they do still need to keep threat

nova marsh
#

Meh

steep osprey
#

This change makes arms a lot stronger on 2 target cleave

nova marsh
#

Threat can be tuned

steep osprey

especially Slayer lol

I'm sure they're aware of the dps loss from getting rid of ST Reap

#

This is a very good way of fixing this issue

#

I didn't think they had it in them lol

tight wing
#

Yes this is a good way of fixing our already horrible single target dps, by removing ~13% of our single target dps

slow saddle
#

Ngl i kindda agree

#

Now fuckin buff ms and exe

minor gust
eternal edge
#

it's more 6-8% than 13% in ST

nova marsh
tight wing
steep osprey
#

They can better tune our ST and AoE independently with this change

gaunt owl

Blizzard just hate AOE ability that contribute to ST all the time

nova marsh

"Slam damage increased by 5,000%"

Well, it makes sense, makes it hard to tune

# tight wing Same

It ultimately doesnt matter. This raid rewards padding so much and only so many people can get a piece of that padding. Dps numbers are basically meaningless if the adds are being deleted

eternal edge
#

next week we'll be better in logs cause we just got the buff today

shy oyster
#

Yeah. I cant be arsed worrying about my DPS during raids.

#

If I do good, I go "huh, cool"

rose ibex
#

The only time dps matters is in pug raids so you don't get kicked

shy oyster
#

Just so long as i'm doing serviceable DPS

#

my real food comes from M+

#

🀀

rose ibex
#

And even then smart raid leads arent going to kick you for doing below average dps if bosses are dying

#

and even then, if you are the one dying over and over you probably are the one getting kicked

tight wing
#

Ig my biggest problem is that we HAVE good utility, but so so so many players don’t know about it, so they just see the low numbers and kick

halcyon valve
#

casually dps gapping my entire raid on vanguard, while being mid on all the other bosses

#

they better nerf arms soon

tight wing
#

I’d be fine with low numbers if people still valued CC/Utility

rose ibex
#

This whole season is kind of a joke. Everyone is super overgeared

minor gust
#

I out dmg most people I play with and find in pugs

modern cove
#

are this changes in reap the storm actually a buff?

steep osprey
#

They're a ST nerf

#

AoE barely changed

rose ibex
#

After analyzing logs I realized that the biggest reasons my damage is low (for arms) is because im too cheap to enchant my champ gear and use consumes for normal raid

modern cove
steep osprey
# modern cove oh god

It's not intentionally a ST nerf. They made Reap only be able to proc on AoE so they can easily tune between ST and AoE

rose ibex
#

Consumes and enchants can give you an insane amount of primary stat and my poor ass just doesnt want to use it on champ gear

steep osprey
#

For example, a good way of fixing this issue is just buffing Slayer's Strike to bring up that loss

rose ibex
#

Also I need that heart trinket apparently

#

That thing is absolutely insane

shy oyster
#

Okay, so just had my first time doing Lightbringers/Council fight as Arms. I can see why. rofl.

Nothing will change significantly until race ends

They probably started a week ago or so

They reverted the frost mage changes and ignored us

At least we got it so doesn't matter anymore

rose ibex

Usually the next week's patch is already complete when the current one releases

#

Things take time

steep osprey
#

Yeah that's true

steep osprey
#

They didn't want to revert our changes

rose ibex
#

I bet half their time is spent just making sure nothing breaks

steep osprey
#

they wanted to work more on them

#

they don't want ST Reap

rose ibex
#

Currently there are problems with loot and im sure thats their biggest priority atm

#

Freakin aug vokers and devastation dh getting screwed. 1 billion delve trinkets

steep osprey

It's a lot easier to revert frost changes than work on ours

minor gust

Doesn't matter

#

We got our SD AOE back

#

All that matters

steep osprey
#

Yeah

steep osprey
rose ibex

I still think part of the awkwardness around arms tuning is because the kit is dated and lacks a focus in design and fantasy

rose ibex

Good to know

minor gust

If you get enough ppl to bitch about it

rose ibex

The recent changes at the very least reveal their design intent with the changes

steep osprey

#

I am more comfortable with their tuning now

jovial hare

why is it so hard to just give us exactly what we asked for tho
instead we got this half compromise unless I just read the notes incorrectly

minor gust
#

Problem is there's like 5 warriors who post on forums constantly

minor gust
rose ibex
#

Arms got what they asked for. Cleave down, single target up

jovial hare
#

in reference to the PTR changes

rose ibex
#

They made a compromise

jovial hare
#

I like regular ass SD triggering reap sadge

rose ibex
#

The ptr changes are smart

steep osprey
#

Too bad, it causes issues with ST vs AoE tuning

rose ibex
#

It allows them more separation between aoe and single target balance for slayer

#

With the change they can buff single target abilities without affecting our aoe now

steep osprey
#

You know what would be cool, if they buffed Unhinged

#

"dealing 100% of normal damage"

#

The numbers could be increased

halcyon valve
#

400%

steep osprey

I was thinking 150% lol

Any and all gearing questions is answered by simming. Things change based on your current character. Guides go off a character in full "bis"

worldly rivet
#

Easiest in the game.

rose ibex
#

And im kinda bummed about it because it was one of the biggest casualties from pruning in the game for me

#

also tanks moving targets out of your PL stampede is frustrating

#

They cant even see it

#

If SV had fury levels of haste it might be fun but it feels even slower than arms

It isn't bad

It's a good change

the only hope i have is that they make execute stronger by itself

They're probably going to buff Execute/Slayer's Strike

You actually have two CDs to press at least. Survival is legitimately 4 buttons for most people that have one interaction with wildfire bomb and boom stick CD reduction.

Easy to fix

#

Buff SS and Execute

#

Some random ST talents like Cyclone

#

Unhinged

rose ibex
#

Arms is a bit of a mess and understandably difficult to tune

#

The ptr changes reveal more of their intent to separate the knobs for tuning

north forge
steep osprey
#

That's not the main interaction

#

It's Execute

#

Reap has been mainly AoE for the most part

#

It's only a ST/AoE thing for this patch

#

Which will last like 2 months

slender sonnet

Granted interaction is the wrong word, I meant tangible effect. It's reap and always has been reap. More execute procs and damage are great but they've always been a thing

I think its one of the only capstones on a spec that doesn't really make sense. Usually the talents in the row have something to do with a specific ability, passive, or new ability. It may not be numerically the worst talent but definitely the laziest.
