spring vale

devourer haram spec

latent moss
#

#

why does fury get gutted for burst padding

thick kelp
#

Insane how much free dps it is

latent moss
#

thick kelp
#

#

auto cleaving no dps loss

spring vale

#

arms moment

minor gust
minor gust
#

remember when demo and cleave were basically doing the same dmg

latent moss
#

im ngl i enjoy cleave doing so mcuh damage but

minor gust
#

I member

latent moss
#

i want demo to hit hard too

tawdry quail
#

This is their way of reverting the sudden death reap the storm nerf right?

latent moss
#

ye

#

it keeps the sd reap while also keeping it aoe only

minor gust
#

yes they compromised with us

latent moss
#

which was their goal i guess

#

cleave is just so disgusting man

#

saw it crit for 250k

rose ibex
latent moss
#

i guess bro

#

i never seen ms hit for more than 150k

spring vale
rose ibex
#

Don't warrior tend to scale like crazy by end of expansions?

#

Once everyone is just juiced to hell from secondary stats

#

I never usually stick around that long

steep osprey
latent moss
#

scaling is fake

minor gust
latent moss
#

it was real in like wrath

#

cause of arpen

rose ibex
#

I don't know anything

spring vale
#

i dont recall warrior being particularly strong end of tww so prob not anymore

#

it was just fine

rose ibex
#

Normally I am very distracted and keep playing alts til i burn out but the pruning has focused my interest

steep osprey
#

The more damage you do, the more rage you generate

thick kelp
#

"pruning" but arms got more buttons gg

rose ibex
#

Thats partly why I like it

latent moss
#

pruned

#

btw

rose ibex
#

I enjoy having a wide priority list to sort through

thick kelp
#

every classes rotation is 2-3 buttons + 1 cd

#

meanwhile arms

rose ibex
#

I dislike hammering the same button over and over back to back

latent moss
#

i imagine it is now

rose ibex
#

Though I can stomach cleave combo

latent moss
#

cba rerunning the sims maybe u did already

thick kelp
thick kelp
#

i ran in morning

languid torrent
#

i love spamming cleave

rose ibex
#

For aoe, is it better to bladestorm after cs and THEN cleave combo or better to cleave combo first before cs?

#

Also do sd procs take priority over the cleave combo?

#

Getting bs on cd so you can benefit from sd procs seems important but I could be wrong

#

Also using bs first means you have a haste buff for cleave combo

thick kelp
#

always follow cs with as many cleaves as you can before bs

#

sd procs are not above priority of cleaves

rose ibex
#

Hmm OK. Im sure tier set will also make that feel better too

#

Feels like cs runs out on one or the other. Whichever you use second

thick kelp
#

if you play either spec and are fighting more than 1 or 2 targets just hit cleave

#

this will get u 99% there

tacit crystal
#

to build cm and get demo on cdr

#

or cleave

thick kelp
#

i cleave if demo stacks are sub 10 after cs

#

if demo at 10 then its cs demo

rose ibex
#

I wish ravager and avatar didnt exist and the specs got buffs to compensate their absence

thick kelp
#

they didnt exist in alpha

#

they got re added

tacit crystal
#

bro i cant track cm

thick kelp
#

due to "flavour"

tacit crystal
#

they killed her

#

(wa)

rose ibex
#

Well I think its dumb

minor gust
#

there was a timeline in which midnight released with no avatar or ravager

tacit crystal
#

i miss her

#

(wa)

rose ibex
#

I like it when warrior cooldowns are attack type abilities like bladestorm and demolish

#

Ravager is basically a buff :/

thick kelp
#

bs shoulda been in the slayer tree

#

and ava in thane tree

rose ibex
#

Agreed

#

And then something new in place of ravager and bs in the actual arms tree

sacred hatch
#

Can someone explain to me why blizzard decided to give pure aoe 4p set bonus to arms and wouldnt it be better to either change it or add ST bonus to make it at least more viable for ST and 2 targer cleave fights?

fresh spire
#

our tier is one of the best st and aoe sets in the game

#

the 4p extends CS from MS and cleave.

tacit crystal
#

fishy fishy foshy

#

bs cancel real now?

fresh spire
#

no

tacit crystal
steep osprey
#

Bro wants to cancel BS

#

Unhinged won't let you cancel BS

craggy kestrel
#

I'm currently playing Fury but could someone give me a quick rundown in why Arms seems to be falling behind in raiding and M+? Trying to get a good grasp of the class in general

stray vessel
#

hows it goin everyone quick question why is this red?

fresh spire
#

fire

minor gust
#

its angry

sacred hatch
rose ibex
craggy kestrel
#

Oh is it? Wasn't sure for M+. Most places I see place it low but the season did just start and all I hear is it has good AoE so wasn't sure where the disconnect is from

rose ibex
#

But raid performance has been a struggle

#

You either full send and hope you get procs so your cooldowns are up for padding or you hold cds for padding. Either way you lose in some regard unless luck is on your side

#

I am kind of a noob and am regurgiating what ive been told and what ive experienced so take my words with a grain of salt

#

I just wanna hit stuff

#

And spin

thorn stream
#

@minor gust thanks for saving slayer

rose ibex
#

Slayvior

minor gust
#

🫡

rose ibex
#

It is appreciated

thorn stream
#

Hopefully they’ll tune according to reap loss in st now

#

Right

rose ibex
minor gust
#

thats a problem for another day. For now we celebrate slayer gameplay not being destroyed

thorn stream
#

True

#

And true

rose ibex
#

Hit stuff throw stuff

#

Spin spin

#

Tazdingo

steep osprey
#

Tuning issues are nothing compared to design issues

rose ibex
#

But tuning becomes easier if design issues are fixed

#

Classes with easy knobs to adjust always get more attention

thorn stream
#

Good take

#

Can’t imagine how horrible to tune reap right now is

#

I’ll miss reaps spin in st tho

rose ibex
#

Designers just look at this mess of abilities are just go "fuckit. Aura buff"

#

Are we cooking now in m+?

shy oyster
#

Always been good with the cleave

rapid bronze
#

Yeah but the tank boss damage

shy oyster
#

Yeah still bad, but not so impossible to be decent/okay with it now.

fresh spire
#

arms feels pretty good in keys when you got good crit rate

tacit crystal
#

fishy

shy oyster
#

What's a good crit rate do you guys run with?

tacit crystal
#

i go full mastery

rare kite
#

might as well. crit is 50/50 anyway, you either crit or you don't

minor gust
#

buffs helped

worldly rivet
#

mythic+ feels very undertuned right now. I care more about the boss damage and moved some more talents into ST.

tawdry quail
#

Correct me if I’m wrong but Demolish should have a talent or effect that says “Deals X% more dmg when hitting only a single target, growing weaker up to 3” or something

#

So it keeps the uncapped aoe, but does well in crit and even better in cleVe

slender sonnet
#

dragonslayer

sick crown
#

I just started playing Arms again, haven't really touched it since DF and in our reclear today I noticed I was super rage starved, should I just be not pressing my buttons and waiting on rage ? we didn't have a shaman but I don't know if that changes anything

tawdry quail
#

not only that but I do wish Demolish had a nice skill area effect like that dragon breath from dractyrs

hoary palm

slayer is better for M+

which they never do

sacred zodiac

do you want me to apply and take your spot

#

dont have to justify playing the spec you like cause the people you are sourrounded by arent good

#

just say you want to onetrick and own it

languid torrent
#

arms in keys is so much fun man

#

i really should give slayer a play tho

tight wing
languid torrent
#

but like fuck demo cleave is fun

latent moss

colo owns

marsh needle
#

slayer owns too

#

and has better st

worldly rivet
#

do you guys think our mastery should scale better or just right

marsh needle
#

aintnoway or ur fury warrior is just buns

slender sonnet
#

we have 2 furys

#

I beat them both

shy oyster
#

What does the build even look like for a Slayer m+/cleave build?

#

Same as colo but with more focus on Execute SS?

marsh needle
#

ive been signing up to keys as fury then swapping once i get inside lol

wild crow
#

My man

latent moss
#

im just signing up as arms

marsh needle
#

im doing 12s now its literally impossible to geti nvited as arms

#

ppl think they are better than they are

#

first week ego

rose ibex
shy oyster
marsh needle
#

its just so much more fun than fury

#

and i do more dmg as arms in EVERY key

rose ibex

Agreed

#

Spin to win, baby

shy oyster

Sign up and swap

minor gust
rose ibex
#

Groups fill super fast from my experience

rose ibex
#

Was checking logs and most every other arms warrior had tier pieces that were parsing as high as you

#

Everyone also had the super super crit trinket

#

Big heart

#

I want that trinket.... I must have it....

upper sparrow
#

Do we use cleave on CD in two target situations? Or should we only cleave with a 3 stack of collateral damage?

minor gust
shy oyster
#

I wish I was also mid and every attack I did procced SD.

devout pewter
#

I'm seemingly not beating anything, Midnight made me total trash in Raid for some reason sadge

#

Gotta spend a day to fix that

nova marsh
#

I mean yeah

#

But hey

#

At least fdk is the new laughing stock apparently

vivid pike
#

Stuipid question

#

How come some target dummies it says im doing 10k dps on burst and others 70k

#

Same target dummy

#

I just reset the damage meters each time and yet one moment my burst is 10k and others its 70k+

devout pewter
#

I think thats a bug with damage meters. Had that happen a couple of times at the start of a dungeon

languid torrent
#

yea blizzard damage meters suck ass

#

like its BAD

#

i just want details back man

devout pewter
#

That was with details though 😄

vivid pike
#

I’m going crazy

i still have no idea how yall do that much damage on those fuckers

in 30 seconds

#

LOL

ionic reef
#

looks like arms is doing comparable damage to fury

upbeat night
#

why is master tactician or brute force not taken? wouldn't it help maintain rage with more over powers?

nova marsh
#

5% more proc chance is extremely low

#

Yeah brute force isnt much better either

#

Theyre just tuned too low to be genuinely worth it

hardy olive
#

Arms owns

nova marsh
junior marsh
#

who up playin with they worm

minor gust
#

Wallife playing arms for paladins

nova marsh
#

(I know no names of their team besides max lmao)

#

Also I have made my choice

#

Fuck dk, im leveling my warrior

vapid spire
#

I really hope we gettin some more ST improvement

kindred breach
#

is crit that much better because of all the crit damage modifiers we have?

nova marsh
kindred breach
#

man i wish we stacked mast instead of crit

nova marsh
#

Because fury?

kindred breach
#

i mean it just feels like gambling damage on 30% crit chance is a terrible idea

#

would just prefer a flat increase

vapid spire
#

Reaching 80% and up mastery would be bis

nova marsh
#

....you do know that

#

Crap what is base cc before stats

#

Oh nevermind

kindred breach
#

it's like 9% ? no?

#

or 10? idk

nova marsh
#

Its 5% apparently

#

According to wowpedia

kindred breach
#

we also get some passive crit from talents afaik

vapid spire
#

Whats that addon ?

kindred breach
#

true stat values

nova marsh
#

I mran the thing is that like idk

#

I like big crits

#

Arms is...kinda for that

#

And the only time I feel like crit really fucks with your damage is colo st

#

Colo in general kinda

#

I don't feel like arms is like

kindred breach
nova marsh
#

No like

#

If you dont crit gg there goes your parse its fucking over

#

Like ffxiv paladin

#

That class is insanely crit reliant

#

Literally there can be like a 20% gap between two players doing perfect rotations if one just gets more crits on their burst

kindred breach
#

ah yeah that's why imo sometimes demolish feels like ass

#

either your dps shoots up into the sky

#

or you just stay below everybody

nova marsh
#

Yeah sometimes, mainly st tbh

kindred breach
#

perhaps the hungering heart trinket saves it

#

from vorasius

nova marsh
#

I mean also it'll feel better later on

#

When we have higher stats

#

Loosing reck also hurts

kindred breach
#

yeah, true

nova marsh
#

I'd crit damage variance isn't that crazy either

#

...but no it absoutlely is

#

HOLY FUCK

#

WHAT ARE THESE FLASK PRICES

forest moth
#

Each 2 flask craft costs a Nocturnal Lotus + mats, Lotuses are 2.8k each

nova marsh
#

lmafo

upbeat night
#

does dreadnaught make overpower a multitarget ability removing its chance to give heroic strike?

lyric hound
#

I feel like after playing a ton of m+ today I wish ravager would die a slow death. What a boring talent

has the recraft been fixed?

You dont want him to eat all your glue ?

nova marsh
#

That glue is mine to eat

midnight reef
#

He has acess to every trinket and he is using that renowm trinket, any ideas ? Walllife from liquid

nova marsh
#

it sims dummy high

midnight reef
#

But its a simm bug right ? the uptime on the simms is like 90%

nova marsh
#

I thinkkkk it is?

#

I'd have to check logs

frail crown
stable fiber
#

cause the arms cleave execute is just better

#

lmao

#

but nobody knows how the spec works

#

mm might be better to just get to execute faster but im certain arms will end the highest

marsh needle
#

Is paladins the only fight they’ve played arms so far?

nova marsh
#

Yes

jade ember
#

I only really caught Dragons and Paladins but clappa is too stronk to not be Fury on Dragons

nova marsh
#

The pad

#

THE PAD

marsh needle
thick hamlet
formal cairn
#

question with arms with 2 target damage, do we follow the priority for multi-target or single target with added sweeping strikes?

#

since cleave wont proc heroic strike

thick hamlet
#

anybody knows what the difference is

#

is there even a downside to using the smaller one

minor gust
rancid robin
minor gust

So close on cosmos

nova marsh
#

Cmon

#

You saved slayer

#

You can do it

gleaming path
#

if were starting at 0 cm stacks do we just send demo after CS before cleaving?
also is it still just press 4x cleave or do we weave anything else post buffs

minor gust
#

Send cleaves first and an MS

#

try to build stacks while tank is pulling too

gleaming path
#

okay saw some people saying sending demo early is okay now, ty

minor gust
#

if you are at max stacks send demo after cs

lone raft
#

bozo u have videos of ur gameplay

#

or a good arms channel/streamer to watch, I feel like I'm getting the hang of it but would like to see

slow saddle
#

Tbh same

hoary palm

This is the best Arms m+ build

#

Pretyy certain i wouldnt wanna miss uber cleave

hoary palm
#

you dont need it

slow saddle
#

Or battlelord

rose ibex
#

hmmm. i just got a heroic weapon from a delve....

slow saddle
#

Gz😄

hoary palm
#

the sweeping strikes from CS is useless too

slow saddle
#

Fury it is

#

Kek

rose ibex
#

do you guys think it is worth recrafting my craftd weapon with mythic crests or you think i should just use this hero weapon i found?

slow saddle
#

Thats some big takes in low keys

slow saddle
#

If yes. Upgrade it 100% biggest upgrade no downside

sharp flame
#

when you guys pop WB and Ravager are you just spamming cleave?

#

or are we weaving in another single target ability for SS more dmg on cleave?

rose ibex
#

which i could maybe use on something else

slow saddle
#

Do u raid mythic this week?

#

If u only m+ its 1 item in vault next week unless omega unlucky. U have 200 available

#

If u get myth weap u only spend another 20 upgrading it instead of 100

#

So crest wise little downside

#

Saves u hero crests u can dend into ya hc gear

rose ibex
lone raft
#

upgrade those wrists maybe??

rose ibex
#

we'll be lucky if we even do a few heroics

nova marsh
lone raft
#

definitely don’t upgrade ur weapon as an arms warrior

nova marsh
#

Full send that shit baby

rose ibex
#

i just know that those wrists and cape are supposed to be special or something

nova marsh
#

Not special

lone raft
#

maybe upgrade ur battle pet

nova marsh
#

But they're useful cuz they're low stat budget

rose ibex
#

yeah i mainly m+

#

we might do a few heroic bosses this week but i dunno

#

my guild is just a small group of friends and we pug any gaps we have

minor gust
fervent cedar
#

I noticed biz sends demolish off the rip instead of building stacks with cleave spam

vapid spire
#

Is heroic raid a lot harder ? I dont really have a guild to do it

fervent cedar
#

Definitely a step up in difficulty but not too much harder than normal

#

If youre patient you can slowly pug through it

weak wave
#

Why does Colossus have so low St dmg? Feels do bad to do only a little more than tank dmg

hoary palm
#

I think slayer is the way to go. M+ isn’t only trash

this trinket is insane, 40%~ish uptime 😄

Playing colossus aoe build is griefing your party in single target

#

Is Bizen playing slayer or colossus in keys?

cerulean flame
#

is there an easy way to track sweeping strikes without a WA?

hoary palm

You fool

#

Weak auras dont exist anymore

minor gust
#

not really a reason to play slayer besides fun

cerulean flame
#

can I just download an addon and not have to think

#

:3

nova marsh
#

I mean you dont have to download addon when addon in game

cerulean flame
#

frickin

#

okay ill go mess with my UI again

nova marsh
#

Look

#

Its better then the shit I went through for arc

#

I love my ui but fucking christ that was AGONY to set up

hoary palm
#

the aoe is similar and colossus single target is simply not playable

minor gust
#

lol the aoe is not similar at all

#

I aint playing slayer for 12% more boss dmg when colo gains almost 30% aoe

hoary palm
#

Aoe sims arent gospel

minor gust
#

the whole unplayable colo ST is outdated propaganda at this point

hoary palm
#

You can also run a more single target focused talent build

minor gust
#

Feel free to play what you want

gleaming imp
#

Hey guys

#

I there any single target arms build for raid that won't be below tank?

minor gust
# hoary palm i disagree

Alright did a slayer key. I was def wrong slayer holding up pretty well. Theres room for both to exist right now.

You’re a beast for testing it

#

I'm interest into playing slayer in m+. Find it more fun than Colossus.

#

If tests conclude it's more or less équivalent, it will be a go for me.

2 weeks lfr and normal raid no set piece even not from vault and I had it filled to the brim

low elk
#

who cares other classes dont exist

gleaming imp
#

Lol

#

Is slayer the go to for st

#

Werent they gonna nerf arms next season or am i tripping

thick kelp
#

at the moment yes slayer for ST

#

the "nerfs" are coming in the 0.5 patch

#

which is probably in 2 months

#

These ners will make Slayer ST take a nose dive unless they give it some extra oomph

minor gust
#

Would say they will buff since these changes feel like they are being made for tuning but you never know with blizzard.

thick kelp
#

Well they are made to move reap into being an aoe only thing

#

but the wording on the datamining hints that they could be making cleave baseline

#

Or they just typo a whole lot

minor gust
#

👀

thick kelp
#

ex. whirlwind is completely removed from reap

#

according to tooltips

minor gust
#

Would be pretty neat

#

Let's just start slowly removing these aoe talents please

gleaming imp
#

They aura buff devourer instead of arms

#

Js saying

thick kelp
thick kelp
#

GG

minor gust
# thick kelp

Knowing blizzard tho they are prob not making cleave baseline and just adding another required talent for slayer

minor gust
#

Also for fury slayer I wonder if it's worth to press WW before using SD procs for the reap in ST. Could be if they buff reap after these changes.

#

Actually nvm read it wrong

Hi all, new to the game and first time wow player. I am generally very competitive and some of the friends suggest not playing warrior atm and some asked me to ask here. I really like how ARMS works, I only have time to play 1 class and only Mythic plus dungeons. I want to be competitive at end game. can any of you please answer this. Is ARMS competitive at Mythic plus end game content? Assume I only play dungeons.

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this. please guide me

arms do be fun in M+

Col Cleave build is fun

#

Sorry if this comes as condescending but I have like 2-3 hours max per day, what melee classes would you suggest for getting easy invites. I like playing dps

jolly lily
#

fury and enh sham

tepid hull
#

@royal estuary Enhance because lust

thick kelp
#

fury warrior can potentially be getting invites later on in the season

#

Your best bet would honestly to play a range class like mage or warlock

#

for highest chance of invites

Once again ty for the inputs guys, one last question. instead of bugging you guys, is there a place I can track this? I would have asked my friends but they went to bed 🙁

Track the best specs?

is slayer viable in m+? I miss some ST dmg. Col does huge aoe, but lacks in ST, maybe slayer can balance it out?

dense sphinx
#

post .5 patch slayer might go hard in keys

jolly lily
#

overall i think col is better but slayer is also good

shy oyster
neat locust
#

it does, it hits so hard, but in st fights ex. ranjit, it jsut falls so ahrd especially when u cant be close to boss to dps

shy oyster
#

I feel like Colossus falls apart once you run with groups who immediately blast and dont give the tank the chance to control the pack so you can do a meaty big bonk

#

and then when you get to ST boss fights... yeah...

neat locust
#

even our 4 set is big aaoe

#

so i was wondering if slayer could even that out

shy oyster
#

Honestly, you can run effectively with either

#

Slayer is really good because it doesn't really rely on stacked packs

neat locust
#

which build would you recommend for that?

#

the one on wowhead is raid

shy oyster
#

Atm? I haven't fully tried Slayer in m+ fully, will be trying that out but on the scant attempts i've had its performing slightly easier. But Colossus definitely wins out in organisation. You dont want to Demolish only 2 mobs in a spread pack of 5-7 mobs for example >_>

#

For a m+ slayer build? the one on WoWhead is a slight alter from the colossus one. Give that a try.

thick kelp
#

i honestly do not think this is worth it

neat locust
#

i see

shy oyster
#

Yeah, don't look at what I say as sacrosanct 😂 i'm experimenting too

#

Just saying what i've found so far, but there are other experienced Arms bois in this disco

#

For the awful spread-out people packs, it only happens once in a blue moon honestly. And it is super frustrating, having to hold back Demolish sometimes.

thick kelp
#

If you wanna play around with Slayer go with the wowhead Slayer m+ build. You can mvoe around the point in mass execution to your liking

How much did the last update help Arms? was the cleave nerf necessary

it helped and yes it was

cleave nerf was absolutely necessary

its still a very stupid spell

Idm bladestorm, was just wondering waht to take

spiral abyss
#

so you hold ravager avatar and demlosh completely around colossus strike?

thick kelp
#

yeah

spiral abyss
#

and as long as collosus strike is up you would use any of those that are up

thick kelp
#

The spec basically plays around CS

#

so you want to line up something with CS

#

ava and demo down? But cs and rava up? Send Cs and rava

spiral abyss
#

and if nothing is up youd just send CS anyways

thick kelp
#

yeah CS always on CD

spiral abyss
#

which will happen i assume

#

got it

#

picking it up for paladins mythic and havent played it before

thick kelp
#

basically CS + something or everything as often as u can

spiral abyss
#

trying to figure out the priority for 2T but using the paladins build

#

how much do you want to cleave in 2t

limber valve
#

why does SD move up in priorty in "execute priority" ? for colossus

spiral abyss
#

i assume mortal strike still has prio? but you'd still use the cleave

thick kelp
#

but you always ms>cleave in 2t

#

then cleave > ms in 3+

latent moss
#

stack

spiral abyss
#

but realistically from cooldowns youre going to end up using both no matter what

#

just in different prios

#

i assume

fresh spire
#

rather they shot improved sweep, make broad do 18 stacks and not be castable anymore

#

so never have to care about ss

latent moss
#

its so annoying having to think about how much value u will get out of ss if cs is on cd

#

cause i dont wanna overwrite

thick kelp
latent moss
#

idk im just perma holding ss nowadays

limber valve
latent moss
#

holding it to use after broad strokes

limber valve
#

execute only if deep wounds is talented

thick kelp
#

and since thats St

#

it assumes you have DW talented

#

for the Sd line too

#

you can just add the DW line to the Sd execute too

limber valve
#

okay thats sort of what I assumed

thick kelp
#

after the exe buff SD is a good button if you cant press MS or OP in the m+ build tho in St

limber valve
#

I guess even with DW talented, why is Execute > MS in single target in execute

thick kelp
#

EP

limber valve
#

I see I see

#

weirdly complicated

thick kelp
#

it is

#

They forgot to add arms into the part of "Simplifying and pruning" class design

thick kelp
#

oly

spiral abyss
thick kelp
#

hold for Cs in 99% of cases

spiral abyss
#

kk

thick kelp
#

You can send a 10 stack if your CS just ran out type of deal

spiral abyss
#

and you typically want to send all ur free cleaves first? to stack up collosal might

#

as long as its within the CS buff window

#

no harm

thick kelp
#

Should have learned the cs shockwave demo opener from TWW

untold pewter
#

Yep, honesty required at times

spiral abyss
#

to me it seem like you just get hoeric strike off of using cleave with SS

loud garden
#

colossus is fun

thick kelp
spiral abyss
#

but if its 2T then its super high prio so youd click it asap

#

ya

thick kelp
#

Your cleave itself cant proc HS

#

so you rely on MS / op to proc it

clever crag
#

Am I seeing right ? Arms on top on one boss ?!?

latent moss
#

y

#

the boss where u do sustained cleave

steep osprey
#

At least a warrior spec is top on one boss

latent moss
#

walli is topping meters

steep osprey
#

Don't think that has been the case since S1 TWW

spiral abyss
#

actually nvm since cleave is the highest prio bbut in 2T that point would stand for only MS i assume

So are we alive? Arms

For one boss yea

For one boss you can have fun

Thank you blizzard

#

Do you press slam over execute if no sudden death?

#

Just change execute into decapitate aoe cone and make all hits do cone aoe (we are swinging big weapon anyways)

#

what do you mean exactly? sorry im new to arms

sharp goblet
#

it was a joke because execute isn't the best

I think they should make execute just cost 30 rage and get rid of all this extra rage bullshit

just make it 20

then they can tune rage

on that fight

Ah

steep osprey

all due to cleave I guess

Right

gleaming imp

And sweeping does more dmg on secondary

steep osprey
#

Isn't MM better than Arms on that fight

glass compass
latent moss
#

yes

steep osprey
#

I would be in favor of nerfing Cleave and buffing Demolish

#

Not too much

#

They should nerf MM so arms is #1 on that fight ngl

gleaming imp
#

Arms should be #1 on any ST

Arms should have dogshit st and extreme good execute

So after 5min fight

U can be top3

execute-execute-MS was peak legion rotation post 20%

glass compass
#

Probably because they didn’t have a 6th one geared enough

steep osprey

I don't know why they didn't nerf hunters more but then again even if they did they probably would have brought 5 of the 2nd best

i mean on single target

scuffed or nah

Its meh

Is it an Arms angle on Salhadaar do we think? Might be solid 2t fight, but unsure how Arms compares on 2t to Fury with the wonky balancing this tier

astral yarrow
#

if you mean heroic, its basically a ST fight. If you are about the mythic life, its hard to compete with fury that just eats all the adds as they amass

kindred breach
#

oh man I didn't think about that, sorry

umbral badger
#

so how are you all doing

#

what's the feedback so far in the m+ world

#

for me it's great overall but i am getting smashed by tank druids "sometimes" on ST when they push 50k-60k ST 😄

old glacier
#

I'm finding it difficult to not overcap on rage sometimes.

umbral badger
#

overcap ?

#

as colossus in m+ ?

#

if you are overcapping you might using too many Overpowers in between cleaves maybe ?

#

might be *

old glacier
#

Might be.

umbral badger
#

sometimes

old glacier
#

I feel it on bosses when we pop lust from time to time.

umbral badger
#

ofc there is variations ot the rotation but you know what i mean

old glacier
#

Yeah

umbral badger
#

hmm, on ST we should not be having extra rage so could be not enough slams.

#

but i can see it happening

#

what's your ST like ?

dusk kayak
#

if you have shammy i could see there being a lot of rage

old glacier
#

Just need to watch out for it I guess. My ST feels fine?

#

Yeah always have a shaman.

dusk kayak
#

without shammy st rage can be rough

umbral badger
#

hmm i did not get al ot of experience with shamans

#

i only saw one ele shaman and he did like 35k overall

old glacier
#

It's really just at the start. Okay I might be pressing overpower too much.

umbral badger
#

like he was not even there

old glacier
#

Ele has been blasting in my runs.

umbral badger
#

yea that ele wsa probably bad

kindred breach
#

oh man

umbral badger
#

we are doing 130k and 160k overall and he was the first guy i saw at under 50k

sometimes it's about the stats you are lacking

With the 10% nerf to cleave, is it still worth it to press cleave over slam in single target?

I know we use ravager but I really really like pressing bladestorm.😭

umbral badger

but then next grp he does a lot

so it's not all bad

if anything it feels better to have higher dps on the next group

personally I love army of the dead doing 5000 gazzilion damage

jovial hare

graveyard and necro spike also kinda fuck

#

so there is that

umbral badger

right now there is crazy imbalance in AOE burst classes vs AOE sustained classes basically @jovial hare and so someitmes one end up ruiningit for hte other in a weird way

so maybe in much higher keys it will change ? dunno

@smoky kayak mate, a quick question. In the Colossus AoE APL there is
line 214: colossus_aoe->add_action("slam");
line 215: colossus_aoe->add_action("execute");
How would that execute ever be used if it comes after slam?

I love arms for one reason.

It's got such few hits but they all are impactful. Has good oomph

#

Not sure if I'm making sense it just feels good.

#

If only we had the numbers to back it up

smoky kayak
candid pecan
#

the aoe dmg/selfheal from deepwounds is nice but in 12.0.5 only demolish will apply it in aoe... critcake

#

why tho?

smoky kayak
#

idk, maybe they heard us complaining about Arms having too many multitarget talents and decided to change that one instead of all the other annoying shit that's apparently too important to them to remove

#

like Ravager, Crushing Combo, Mass Execution, Overpowering Finish, Collateral Damage...

steep osprey
#

Ravager should be removed asap

candid pecan
#

well atleast slam/HS crits applying DW will be nice. Which means better St and better funnel through fervor

umbral badger
#

and just make sweeping strike better naturally

#

18 stacks is good enough for me with sweeping

candid pecan
#

hmm, I play with the 100% two target talent, 12 stacks is enough from WB/Sweep in m+

umbral badger
#

yes yes but if they removed the sweeping WB thing

#

you'd need more htan 12

#

and i rather they do that

#

so i can get more ST taletns in

smoky kayak
candid pecan
#

hmmm, remove ravager, make CS hit 250% harder ratge

#

which has been mentioned here before

smoky kayak
umbral badger
#

like seriously

smoky kayak
#

that's just because of stupid pathing

umbral badger
#

yup

#

THE ONE INTERESTING talent

#

for both aoe and ST

#

we can't get

#

LoL

smoky kayak
#

locking that behind Overpowering Finish, after continually nerfing OP, and the Slam talents, which are worthless in 80% of content

#

tbf Martial Prowess isn't really useful in AoE

#

there's a reason we don't go out of our way for it

umbral badger
#

i mean we we are doing too many cleaves in a raw with this new design

smoky kayak
#

Cleave triggers it via FoB

umbral badger
#

but after the 4 initial cleaves it will add "small" gain i guess

#

oh it does ?

smoky kayak
#

ofc it does

#

but it buffs Mortal Strike, a single target button that isn't going to contribute much in AoE settings

umbral badger
#

i mean cuz FoB does not trigger Heroic strike i just did assume as much

smoky kayak
#

FoB does trigger Heroic Strike

umbral badger
#

it consumes it

#

but not triggers it

smoky kayak
#

correct, it casts the ability

umbral badger
#

at leas from my experience

#

yea yea

smoky kayak
#

and Martial Prowess requires casting the ability

jovial hare
#

I'm not insane right

umbral badger
#

that being said, 5% dmg from FoB mratial prowes combo would be nice

#

ahh

smoky kayak
steep osprey
smoky kayak
#

again, it's not an AoE talent

okay I thought I was getting dementia

I swear to god half of you can't read lol

LoL

smoky kayak
#

FoB does trigger Martial Prowess

umbral badger
#

i mean

umbral badger
#

this is what happens when you never take hte talent

smoky kayak
#

it buffs Mortal Strike

#

Mortal Strike doesn't do shit in AoE
