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 
huh, is there anything similar to this for M+? visualization wise, I know I can dig through logs on warcraftlogs
Suck? Nah they are cake
Yeah sure but pugs are fucking ass in this key level
Like worse then usual
Dude I did shroud skip on my rogue for the end of academy
The dumbass mage body pulled it
Like there was no true sight
Should've been a straight shot to get the last two mobs but nope
No +2 for me
Is crucible of erratic energies a strong trinket? Bloodmallet has no info on it
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 π
Keys are free af
Everything is easy
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
Was 2-3 chesting 10s all yesterday. Shits very easy with how geared we arr
was mean man
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
Y nexus seems very very forgiving
Did they forgot to add back the /abandon feature ?
its there
I've found the most annoying part of some dungeons being the way points. The terrace one on final boss is hilarious for classes without mobility.
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
What do you type for it ? /abandon ?
not sure the actual commend as i never done it, but you can still right click and vote to abandon on your protrait
Yeah its not there anymore
yes i really enjoy slayer but apparently its both really bad in higher keys now and getting gutted in 12.0.5
so idk if its even worth to invest time into
slayers dead in .0.5
I play fury atm
let it pass
I wanna play arms but its a hassle when fury atm is better at every content
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?
Lel
makes me lose all remaining motivation to play arms ngl
they just going the wod demo route
Slayer's not lookin' good aye. I love playing Colossus even as Prot tho so it's not as feelsbad...
Or is it

slayer's apparently so bad that it's a grief to play it around +10. its just legit garbage
Guarantee I can shit out so much more dmg than thane right now and barely be behind in ST
Cleave go brrr
only for it to get nerfed into nothingness with 0.5 lol
Maybe people dont have enough haste and aren't getting enough procs to make slayer more consistent for higher keys
i think at this point its about both performance and it feeling like doodoo
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
its better than colo for pure st, and that is about it. and its more fun to play
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
How does everyone know Slayer is getting gutted next patch?
reap the storm gets obliterated in 0.5
triggers less frequently from cleave and no longer from SD exes
RTS gets triggered less and no more procs from executes...
No fricking idea -why-, but what the hell.
They really reeeeeeally hate arms
very likely arms will go back to only dps in c tier with 0.5
even shadow only lasted under a week in there
And I don't get why, arms wasn't meta or giga broken for xpacs long ago
Arms was really good at the end BFA before they revamped mastery. #1 damage was the bleed dot on meters π
Let me take you to back to the past π
Yooo arms is pumping sooo hard in M+ wtf
Always has
Quick Question:
Do we legit want 27 Flat Armor instead of 115 Stamina on our Legs? Sounds weird, am I missing something? O.o
That doesn't sound right...
You make the choice
More armour is more strength through talent choice iirc
Do you want a very minimal str gain or more hp
Blood Knights and Forest Hunter both give 41 Mainstat, only Dif is 27 Flat Armor on BK and 115 Stam on FH
(if you don't take stam something is wrong with you)
Okay, I'm not alone at least xD
More armor is just more dmg that all
But 27 Flat Armor, how miniscule is that Dmg Gain in Comp to 115 Stam? π
With the arms buff (lol) is the max roll guide still pretty relevant for best single target cleave and aoe builds/rotaion? https://maxroll.gg/wow/class-guides/arms-warrior-raid-guide
Very very minimal. That's why you really should just take stam.
Fuck that
Same concept with the Crit gem vs move speed gem in TWW
Armor it is
kek?
If you took Crit gem vs Move speed you might be a bit of a silly goose
must be playing with some bad dps
I mean st is weak
Aoe is good so pretty accurate id say?
Arms still sims below 100k and uhdk sims 130
arms is still both rage starved and suffers from big buttons hitting like wet noodles
I mean collosus played well does great aoe
Meh not really no
The buffs add up
Cleave fucks
Tbh Colo > thane
Not really
Did both fury and arms keys yesterday.
Colo claps just like it did in TWW
Meh ST pumper aoe
Yeah, just twiddle your fingers when its just ST
do your best sure, but accept you wont do much and its NOT your fault
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
not sure the buff even changed anything anyway
My frost mage friend doubles my dps in single target but he does have 4pc
Do u have 4p?
I mean col 4p vs uh dk
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
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 π too tired to rebel anymore.
WW monk Zenith design wise is just better than colossus smash. It works the way arms warrior CD should work
Ive been playing slayer in keys and it seems to be fine
Raid is different I'm talking about keys
Oh. Thought both π
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
Whatever your opinion is right now won't matter till you get 4set
Don't bother comparing
Thats kinda my point. If I had 4pc i think my damage would be as good for dungeon
ok now do colo single target on bosses
and watch your healer outdps you
He wasnt much ahead. Im happy with slayer
Outdated propaganda

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
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
Tbf arms st could in gen use another 10% buff
Most of my damage is reap the storm whatchu talking about
Schwing schwing schwing
Spin spin spin
As long as it also gets another cleave nerf
Probably
Perhaps our single target being bad can be fixed with talents
I mean 10% aura buff 10% nerf cleave
I'll take more cleave nerf for more ST
I mean our st is shit in raid
arms could get a 20+% aura buff and would be middle of the pack at best
If we got 20% aura buff we would be kings of m+
Dude is straight drinking and spitting from youtube propaganda
But def not blizzards goal. They don't tune bottom classes to become middle or top. They just bring things closer in line
Not that I am against youtube still saying we need help. More buffs always welcome
Y so another 10% only st
Would be good yeah
Then Colo def is much better than fury in keys
Wouldn't even be close.
Blizzard will be able to tune better once race is over
The best we can hope for is a swift race
Im thinking about trying colossus for dragon fight just to cheese the meter as much as I can with demolish
Guys i'm seeing so many different talent builds being run in m+ , is there an updated talent build in the making or?
Colo build on wowhead
Or maybe I just ignore adds and just full send always nonstop on slayer
my issue with it I do SHIT dmg single target its not even funny xD
Do u have 4p
yes
U shouldnt do shit st then
its me then
Yeah sounds like a you problem
Hit up the priority guide and get practicing
And press cleave
In st?
YouTube and others completely gaslit me, I had leveled a new character and got it geared and everything then saw how arms was doing in M+
During ravager and execute yes
Nobody believed me but after the first 15% aura buff arms was crushing dungeons
Single target still crap but if you tank bunches things well you can do really good numbers
M0s aren't good dats
I was still thinking pre 15% aura buff tbh
Oh I was doing less damage than the guardian druid
I did a +9 last night and did like 105k overall, 2pc shit trinkets no myth weapon
But things could never stay that bad. Things are going to change even more
Game goes forward
But of course monk buff and Shaman so that definitely helped significantly
Best raid advice is to make good friends who dont give a shit about what you play
See i get that
at least in 2-3 weeks it doesnt matter what you play during farm
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
Also, this expansion is easy in dungeon and raid outside the dragon fight where 1 mistake wipes everyone
I totally get that, but you are the one who must make that call. I switched to fury on dragon fight becuase I felt I needed more damage
If other people are forcing it then they frankly suck
You are pulling your weight as Arms though. Anyone who judges Arms for their ST right now are high on paracetamol.
Yes arms on paladins was amazing
And we aren't blatantly busted like mm
Mm did sooooo overbearingly well that they got slapped hard in the jaw for it
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
I love this spec because it feels like something old with a few modernized ribbons and whistles taped on
Add damage is definitely important but it does feel a bit paddy no?
Depending on the fight ofc
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
Fr lol
My bladestorm does shit all for the adds
And if you cleave combo they are all dead by the 2nd cleave
Welcome to week 2 when you already out gear heroic
People are INSANELY well geared
You ain't gonna pad on shit till you get to mythic
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
Hey skyhold warriors π 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?
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
Archi's guides in #dps-faq is pretty decent.
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:
There ain't no arms content creators just fury players when they are forced to play arms
There is a good rotation guide for arms on youtube by Mad ox
Used to be Critcake for the longest time but he hates arms these days
QwQ
But he pretty much just goes over archi's guide
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 β€οΈ
Yeah, Archi's guides pretty good. As for any streams and vids, I've none to offer sadly
Its rare. Arms was really bad on release. Just trust that its aoe is at least really good right now
It performs well in keys
I dont really care about the 'tier list meta' I want to hit something with my big sword
but he's pushing arms right now
Changes have been so frequent no one can keep up with it anyways
Well, at least I have defensive abilities as arms...
Real
Yeah exactly no fotm for me. Just enjoying the vibe and crits
Doesn't mean he doesn't hate it. And it was mostly in reference to one tricks
Love you all have a great evening
I was actually enjoying fury slayer but man having no defensives sucks
Critcake was an arms one trick for many many years
Slayer arms as wellπ€£
Keep the arms dream alive
Raid/group lead: "Pop defensives here." Me: "Eeeeeh"
oh shit hes playing slayer
Any of you got the recrafting issue?
Dont know how it works so no
chadge
the true face of the 14 hour grind
no, because key timelines are all over the place.
and pull sizes are too varied
it's also why reviewing M+ Logs is a nightmare
Bah he went back to fury
Damn.
Not bad π
does it seem right that I rarely have to press slam in ST except for when heroic strike procs?
y u press it if everything is down xd
jeh, its ur lil' rage spender
saved?
It's better, but also bad
Like, still means reap is only aoe
We keep the Reap on AoE for Sudden Death
They get to remove the single target aspect of it
source?
Can't wait to hit 3 or more targets with cleave via improved whirlwind
Dude
Maybe reap not totally dead in future now
Just need sweeping strikes up
Imo they should buff arms
I think they could have just kept it at having 100% proc at all times from SD
@minor gust it's not so bad how they did it actually
So reap still does something in ST
especially when you have SS like everytime
Reap now purely aoe
Still scuffed for single target tho
Well blizzard wanted to unpair Reap procs in Single Target
It's like WoD again, having to have an add next to boss to maximize dps lmao
If this is how we keep Sudden Death in AoE then I'll take it
Let's keep crying about it, maybe they'll change it to something better lmao
The only way it becomes better is if we get a seperate proc like reap for just one target
I don't think you're going to get any better
It still gives ST the bird for no reason
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
The actual improvement is gonna just be buffs to ST attacks
Okay but still
How many hero trees have major talents like reap that have a couple tie in effects
just literally useless in ST
If this paves the way for MS to truck
Why does that matter?
Honest question no troll.
Because hero trees are designed with the hopeful idea that they can be used anywhere
Are you asking how many specs have hero talents designed around aoe spells?
technically it can
sorry but our spec works in ST, we're just undertuned
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
So did they just fix back the sudden death reap the storm? Just weaker
Reap doesn't increase Bladestorm hits though
I'll take it that works
Not really weaker they are just changing things so reap isn't a ST thing anymore
It's purely for aoe
If you compare it to what it is right now sure
Idk I just think it's silly
Ok so reap is still giga dead in st
But they will have to do retuning
That fury change is really interesting though
Yeah, they should keep it as it is now, I don't know who asked for it to be changed from the current version
reap shouldnt be a single target thing anyway. Doesnt make sense
Blizz changed it because apparently it's too hard to balance or smth
...
Well neither does bladestorm
but here we!
lol
It's clear with these changes they don't want reap to be available in ST which will make tuning a bit easier for them
yeah big buffs coming to single target im sure
I mean arms is overdue for ST buffs anyways
this, thank you
Yeah if this is what they needed to open the path for st buffs im all for it
Blizz basically did what I thought they would
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
I hope it exceeds some more single target buffs or something or maybe they have some master plan to make us play colossus in single target
This is stuff for next patch. You have to look at it like beta/ptr everything they change here will require retuning
Which they will do
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
they are pushing slayer aoe
they buffed bladestorm dmg by 20%
as well
in the next patch
ya
I get that, but if PTR history has taught me anything is that whenever it makes it to live, it gets retuned later instead of being retuned during "testing" phase after receiving feedback.
Waaaaay far off. Beyond when the dust settles from everyone getter tier sets
Sometimes that happens sometimes it doesn't it just how shit rolls
Still no point just like beta worrying about numbers till the patch is almost ready
Bro, they didn't even tune us this season 
Part of the fun is squeezing value where you can
Whatever you think it's a nerf or a buff right now doesn't matter
Especially when they change how mechanics work
Everyone is a patch away from being "back" or "over"
Enh shammies got slaughtered in the recent hotfix for pvp
And some classes are just way harder to tune than others
it's a buff in multi, a nerf on ST
But it definitely will be easier to buff ST after that change imo
I just don't understand why they nerfed Arms so many times before only to have to buff us again 
don't get me wrong i don't like it, but it's not so bad than it appears and it potentially makes sense
I mean buff vs what it was not what it is atm
VS actually it's probably a buff imo
Perhaps they are planning around something they know about in the future
It cant rly be a buff
And are overcorrecting
I mean buff ms 30%.more
you'll have more procs if i read it correctly
No?
yup
I mean..
It was already clear that arms won't be top DPS and they still nerfed and nerfed and nerfed etc
How
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
Even top dps are never safe. Things always change and they will continue to change
Meh change
nevermind, i'm dumb reading english, same procs but only multi yeah
Okπ
was not reading 2nd line correctly ma bad
so we'll have same procs or around but no procs in ST only
Ngl this is not a bad idea
They will very very very likely just buff slayers strike massively to compensate for reap loss in st
Bruh, we had that before in DF, come on
They can do many things, it's not like they're just gonna leave Slayer in the gutter
Yee easiest answer tho
Passive hit with no skill
The important thing is that they have a lot more freedom to make adjustments for single target
Or hear me out
Yeah this
this is not a bad change
Buff execute and ms
They have more freedom to add buffs to different things
it's a logical change even if we don't like it
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
Exactly. It looks lame on paper but it allows them to gave more accurate tuning which is one of arms' biggest issues from a designer perspective
and now they can buff ST on both specs (Colo and Slayer)
We should all praise @minor gust for making this happen
Its difficult to buff single target without affecting multi target even more and such
Did they forgot to nerf bear
They did nerf bear twice
Welcome Slayer 12.0
20% + 20%
Wtf
They're still insane lol
Did the bear do
willing to bet its during their big bear + bear claw buff
I want what that bear is on
whith that change, we can hope to have a buff in both heroic spec in ST in easy mode i guess
Cocaine
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
xD
I mean if u are tuned for 20s thats stupid
Well.mby 30s
Well, things arent always tested intelligently
I mean tanks in general feel absolutely disgusting rn in keys
I mean I do agree but like
We need more tanks
Well, there are like 200 new messages.
We are happy about keeping reap the storm on AoE right?
Do tanks need to be able to match dps
I think tanks should do damage but this is a little extreme
So slayer still fβd in .5?
Yep
No
Tanks shouldnt do dps dmg
Yeah im a bit tired of tanks just being dos with defensives
Y'know, so long as it doesnt affect pvp I wouldn't be mad about it
I mean i wouΓΈd
I dont give a rats ass about pvp
So is it yes, or is it no? XD the single target takes another nerf.
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
We are too stronk
So thats a different problem
Y well 12.05 is a not tuning, its design change
Tanks should be doing about 65-75% of dps damage imo
No it isn't fucked
Because tuning is not part of these changes
they're mechanical changes
I just want tanks to have fun because they got it hard enough as it is
I mean bigger pulls is fun as tank when u live em
I only go to 75 because they do still need to keep threat
Meh
This change makes arms a lot stronger on 2 target cleave
Threat can be tuned
especially Slayer lol
Change your name bozo
Unless we dont get buffedπ€£
Very unlikely
Also yes everyone in Skyhold should praise me
I singlehandedly saved slayer
Your welcome guys
Alright I'll get on my knees ty bro
Send feet pics first

Slayer must be protected
Wrong discors
Slayer must stay fun
nothing wrong here
You sure? After we got ignored for 2 patches then given a 5% overall buff when we needed like 20?
Feet pics are for the weirdos in frost dkcord
Infinite procs
This affects both Fury and Arms
Procs for miles. Procs forever
we arent being ignored its neglected like the middle child you know
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
Yes this is a good way of fixing our already horrible single target dps, by removing ~13% of our single target dps
You think too small comeback in a month when we have a bigger picture
it's more 6-8% than 13% in ST
YOu need to relax lol
"Mortal strike and execute damage reduced by 15%"
Fair, imma go level an evoker, so I have an alt for just in cases
They can better tune our ST and AoE independently with this change
Blizzard just hate AOE ability that contribute to ST all the time
"Slam damage increased by 5,000%"
Well, it makes sense, makes it hard to tune
pretty sure we'll have a buff later, but i don't hope for a big one.
Iβll relax when blizzard stops following me and nerfing w/e class I decide to main
Why is blizzard stalking you
don't change your main wtv happens
No way
No meta chaser goes arms
Or warr in general
except fury players when it's better on some bosses
I have always picked what I find fun, and try to pick something low or middle of the pack

I want to play slayer when do I hit execute?
Basically w/e SD procs
Is there a good way to track that now that weakauras are gone?
So what hit it when it lights up?
Yeah
lmao
But in exe phase, you hit it twice before each MS
Then chill out and stop worrying about numbers for a patch months away. First they do mechanical changes then they tune depending on the outcome of those changes. I get it there's PTSD from beta but relax

And vice versa, and that is basically arms warrior in a nutshell
But I like dooming, itβs fun
But I donβt enjoy getting yelled at and kicked from groups because my dps is too low when I canβt do anything about it
Well that yeah you can just play better
imagine if SD triggers Slayer's Strike now
for a ST buff
more logical
I can when my class allows it, but when my specs 100% is less than others 20-30% thereβs not much I can do
Imagine if any and every Slayer Arms warrior triggers Slayer's Strike π€€
You parsing 100s everytime?
More procs the better
I wish lol, no Iβve been around 70-80, that was just an example
Procs forever. Around the moon procs. 25/7 procs to infinity
still better than rogues
The outlaw rogue i play with beats me every time
We dont even bother animating a downtime phase on our characters. We just keep Slayer's Strike progging.
wait i didn't know destro warlock was chill like that
Same
these fucking destro warlocks bitching lied to me
He has mained combat/outlaw since vanilla. He is god of outlaw rogue
and in 95 percentile we're def not so bad too
never trust a spell caster
Dear Blizzard. Just remove the rage cost from Rend. K Thanks.
Let me guess, Hellcaller Destro whiners
Diabolist Destro are the real chads
I do not know enough about destro to know the difference
but i'm mad those bastards lied to me
This is the way of warlocks, has been since classic lol
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
next week we'll be better in logs cause we just got the buff today
Yeah. I cant be arsed worrying about my DPS during raids.
If I do good, I go "huh, cool"
The only time dps matters is in pug raids so you don't get kicked
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
Ig my biggest problem is that we HAVE good utility, but so so so many players donβt know about it, so they just see the low numbers and kick
casually dps gapping my entire raid on vanguard, while being mid on all the other bosses
they better nerf arms soon
Iβd be fine with low numbers if people still valued CC/Utility
This whole season is kind of a joke. Everyone is super overgeared
Then just focus on playing better than others. You can always do better
I out dmg most people I play with and find in pugs
are this changes in reap the storm actually a buff?
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
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
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
For example, a good way of fixing this issue is just buffing Slayer's Strike to bring up that loss
Okay, so just had my first time doing Lightbringers/Council fight as Arms. I can see why. rofl.
Which one?
that was delicious candy.
The one from second boss
All if not all the logs I analyzed had it
You want both hearts till plume comes out
I have the wind heart
Bozo
And skyreach crit trinket
if ppl let 3 bosses together...
Can you link me the forum post
I wish. Now im at Crown boss and I already feel my serotonin coming off. π
nvm I'll find it myself
I predict i will get 40k+ on pure single target next raid
I may actually log it just so I can compare pure boss damage as I plan to not play around adds
4d ago lmao
Yeah I gave up when we got ignored last week
66 replies now
"ignored"
They were just cooking
If what they did today took 2 weeks to cook. Then they may need to go back to culinary school

I don't think that's how it works and you know it
True lol
It takes a while for them to start cooking
Nothing will change significantly until race ends
They probably started a week ago or so
No one but Blizz knows
They reverted the frost mage changes and ignored us
At least we got it so doesn't matter anymore
Usually the next week's patch is already complete when the current one releases
Things take time
Yeah that's true
It was very easy to just revert these changes though
They didn't want to revert our changes
I bet half their time is spent just making sure nothing breaks
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
It's a lot easier to revert frost changes than work on ours
Yeah Ik were talking about different things rn
Doesn't matter
We got our SD AOE back
All that matters
Yeah
Don't think the same people work on those
I still think part of the awkwardness around arms tuning is because the kit is dated and lacks a focus in design and fantasy
But its impossible to know for sure
So writing a post on the forums actually works lol
Good to know
If you get enough ppl to bitch about it
The recent changes at the very least reveal their design intent with the changes
I think this must have been the most popular warrior feedback post in ages lol
I am more comfortable with their tuning now
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
Problem is there's like 5 warriors who post on forums constantly
Only took me advertising it in here for a week
Arms got what they asked for. Cleave down, single target up
in reference to the PTR changes
They made a compromise
I like regular ass SD triggering reap 
The ptr changes are smart
Too bad, it causes issues with ST vs AoE tuning
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
You know what would be cool, if they buffed Unhinged
"dealing 100% of normal damage"
The numbers could be increased
400%
I was thinking 150% lol
Bladestorm procs reap, slayer strike, and mortal strike 500 times every time it strikes
Five. Hundred. Mortal strikes.
Let's move Arms from being the big hitter to be hitting faster than an outlaw rogue on speed
ATATATATATATATATATATA
swinging that massive hunk of weapon like it was a paper clip
Thing i love about slayer is that visually it looks really fast with all the procs but the rotation is still pretty chill
While not being totally boring
Frick. I wanted to play sv hunter really badly but the pruning way overdid it
SV has more abilities than some specs
My issues with SV are thematic between base spec and Sentinel
Isn't pack leader like the only hero spec you're supposed to play on SV right now?
I've heard enough. Nerf warrior.
True and Real
no? Well I don't know if Sentinel bug has been fully fixed or not
Not a bug. They would have fixed it after three weeks if so.
Like a weird grey area where it follows all of the games rules but wasn't necessarily intended.
enchants are a sim angle always
guides are what works best in BiS gear is my general assumption
is still bugged the recraft system ?
Ehhhh... it has a fair amount of abilities as a hunter but the rotation got really boring. Feels like you have 3 main abilities and 2 cooldowns
You buff wildfire or raptor strike. Maybe you buff boomstick
You've described most specs
Arms has more abilities
I just want like... 1 or 2 to come back
Something like explosive shot
Explosive shot procs were so fun
Survival is a moba spec.
Any and all gearing questions is answered by simming. Things change based on your current character. Guides go off a character in full "bis"
Easiest in the game.
I feel myself falling asleep when playing it...
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
@minor gust did you just hacked Copilot and on ptr they changed us or was it the forum post ? ( sorry for tag)
how is arms doing? still eh
Way too pruned. No difference in rotation between any encounter.
All it would take is for it to get explosive shot back and I'd probably play it as an alt. Just something that isnt a ground dot (which they don't even uuuuuuuse)
I actually like the broomstick and explosives
thoughts? beter then the last idea they had of taking it away?
the only hope i have is that they make execute stronger by itself
They're probably going to buff Execute/Slayer's Strike
They compromised. This way we get to keep our SD aoe which was the important thing
Now slayer gameplay won't play like shit
^
Cheeks
Author of that post said that those are great changes lmao
It allows them to tune aoe and single target separately which is good
On its own it is bad but the change could allow for better overall tuning
That's our theorycrafter
And they are
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.
It just feels like the spec plays itself and I don't like that
The decision making feels obvious and forced
Better than last time but Slayer will need major help in ST
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
These changes are ok for aoe I believe. However they've kinda nerfed single target reap into the ground and just not let it recover which means our main hero tree interaction is near non existent in our ST profile.
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
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
Got this as Normal. Slowly, arms is feeling nicer as we go π

My vault was a gaze of aln with avoidance on hero track
You fixed Slayer, forget about any luck for a few months now
What does it do
Just a stat stick that gives a primary stat
I mean they could always get rid of Avatar and give Execute an actual cool capstone.
But it got nerfed like 2 or three times
And figure it out from there
MEGA Execute
I hope avatar goes
dragons
a core Execute and EARTHQUAKES into MORE EXECUTES
Hell yeah dude
you hold the flames β€οΈ
I love arms
That's huge. How does one get such good numbers?
Get lucky mostly
Is a lot of it padding?
And padding
I understand
Is it better to go colossus or slayer on dragons?
Thunderclap CS bladestorm hope for the best
Cleave or no cleave?
All you can do
Wait thunderclap?
Rend is a frontal thunderclap is a massive aoe with the talent
Stares
What have i done!?
Feels so weird not to call it WB on AoE lol
feeling a lot better after tonight
I need to put tclap back in....
What do you exchange for Thunderclap? @minor gust
Rend is dead to me now
Why can't they make BS have a primary and secondary damage
I personally dropped second wind and field dressing
Oooh col
Primary for ST and secondary for AoE
but there's probably better options
Im surprised adds live long enough for rend to matter at all
Whatever you want it's just class tree stuff. If you want to see what my talents were just go look at the kill on wcl
o7
neat
Yeah, Tclap Rend is nicer for me >.>
It doesn't really it's not the secret sauce to a big dragons parse
I thought you never run it now as SLayer
It's very minor
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.
Yeah, I am getting the feeling of Monk Capstone laziness all over again from it.
As in, before Monk got cool ones π
It's purely for dragons because of how the adds work
Big radius vs frontal cone
did you assert dominance with Champion's spear?
hi
π
colossus arms warrior
tell the fury warriors to wake up maybe
Did you see I saved Slayer all by myself
π
I did use the spear because it was normals lol. DK grip - champ spear.
real
I like the fury warriors they gave me vorasius trink
goats
π½οΈ
your dragons parse is illegal cuz the fuck you mean you got bladestorm back for orbs at 0:30
i got my bs back at fucking 1:01
what the fuck
proc king
just farm boss damage parses while everyone is farming padding parses
am i goated for this
hella goated

dude I got a disgusting amount of SD procs on pull
i ws just staring at the timeline comparing mine vs yours
ive never seen anything like it
Slayer casino
Im tempted to pump haste over crit just to get more sd procs
my goat
rotate mass grips so I can demo the orbs every set
It'll be good for Prot off-spec too just sayi--- is shot dead in an alleyway
puzzlebox pot pi ravager all cds
noob
my guild decided to be really dumb for paladins and refuse to ever keep them stacked its cooked
lmfao
Even the log website slagging you wth...
I wasn't paying attention cause I realised as I charged in I had the wrong trink on
The truth must never be revealed
:dead:
I actually do find my dps being more consistent since getting the haste heart from windrunner
i tried it on a normal blast for some extra 4sets. felt clunky
heart and puzzyB
axaxaxxaxa
Mastery spits
reaaal
Yeah, I am steering as much as possible away from Box
hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby
4pc with mythic weapon etc
pieces tmy vs current
i landed a solarflare from my first skyreach so ive just gone way down the list on Gaze prio
Gaze is dogshit for arms
hope this helps
istg
π

You a good box
Not garbage box
I aint touching puzzlebox in raid ima just rock my double heart till I can get plume
What does plume do
arms when stats
colo when crit
I hear there's some delve quest that is currently bugged to randomly hand out items from next raid
everything is silver rank
Guess the boss cone
Dreamrift or first boss
First boss
i tried padding on dreamrift
