yep
idk how you even did that my guild killed adds on first boss before my demolish even finished
maybe in myffic
next week slayer to cope on boss damage
arms parses this patch
we split the adds away from boss
do u get to pad
noted
just go boost
ez
mega pad
colo on every boss
max pad
real
i cbaa with devourets tho
they pick the collapsing star cleave talent
and adds just vanish
in one casg
ye
shit should live longer hopefully on mythic enough for me to pad
its so disgusting
if not its cooked and im playing slayer
disgusting pig apec
why doesnt that get gutted
devourer haram spec
Insane how much free dps it is
but not devourer
we both know why, brown class never allowed to stay good
meanwhile more demolish nerfs
bro demo pmo
all because of prot
I miss it man. Made me enjoy colo a lot more seeing Demo actually feel worth it and hit like a nuke
same
this is lowk sad
remember when demo and cleave were basically doing the same dmg
im ngl i enjoy cleave doing so mcuh damage but
I member
i want demo to hit hard too
This is their way of reverting the sudden death reap the storm nerf right?
yes they compromised with us
which was their goal i guess
cleave is just so disgusting man
saw it crit for 250k
Still paying for the sins commited in vanilla
you might say it as a joke but I genuinely believe they're like well, warrior is good in vanilla so retail can suck it
I also think the rage mechanic is just difficult to balance
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
Cleave is just doing too much though
no
scaling is fake
its both
I don't know anything
i dont recall warrior being particularly strong end of tww so prob not anymore
it was just fine
Normally I am very distracted and keep playing alts til i burn out but the pruning has focused my interest
Also due to rage scaling with damage done
The more damage you do, the more rage you generate
"pruning" but arms got more buttons gg
Thats partly why I like it
I enjoy having a wide priority list to sort through
I dislike hammering the same button over and over back to back
is sd worth pressing after the buff
i imagine it is now
Though I can stomach cleave combo
cba rerunning the sims maybe u did already
below ms hs and between ops yes
the sims r where they always r
i ran in morning
i love spamming cleave
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
always follow cs with as many cleaves as you can before bs
sd procs are not above priority of cleaves
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
if you play either spec and are fighting more than 1 or 2 targets just hit cleave
this will get u 99% there
do you not do cleaves if you ahev demo and no rav
to build cm and get demo on cdr
or cleave
I wish ravager and avatar didnt exist and the specs got buffs to compensate their absence
bro i cant track cm
due to "flavour"
Well I think its dumb
there was a timeline in which midnight released with no avatar or ravager
I like it when warrior cooldowns are attack type abilities like bladestorm and demolish
Ravager is basically a buff :/
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?
our tier is one of the best st and aoe sets in the game
the 4p extends CS from MS and cleave.
no

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
hows it goin everyone quick question why is this red?
fire
its angry
oh maybe I've read it wrong. my bad
Inconsistent burst and and bad st. It's great in m+
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
My experience is that while my mage friend 50%+ to doubles my single target, I can do my cs burst combo more often so overall dungeon damage is fairly close
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
@minor gust thanks for saving slayer
Slayvior
🫡
It is appreciated
If they do, it will overall be healthier design for the class and tuning
thats a problem for another day. For now we celebrate slayer gameplay not being destroyed

Tuning issues are nothing compared to design issues
But tuning becomes easier if design issues are fixed
Classes with easy knobs to adjust always get more attention
Good take
Can’t imagine how horrible to tune reap right now is
I’ll miss reaps spin in st tho
I imagine the classes that just get aura buffs slapped on them (us) are the ones that are the problem classes
Designers just look at this mess of abilities are just go "fuckit. Aura buff"
Yes sure I get that and that’s why agree it’s healthier (:
Real
11 magisters lol
Are we cooking now in m+?
Always been good with the cleave
Yeah but the tank boss damage
Yeah still bad, but not so impossible to be decent/okay with it now.
arms feels pretty good in keys when you got good crit rate
fishy
What's a good crit rate do you guys run with?
might as well. crit is 50/50 anyway, you either crit or you don't
old propaganda arms ST is now meh
buffs helped
mythic+ feels very undertuned right now. I care more about the boss damage and moved some more talents into ST.
Do we run slayer or colossus in M+ rn?
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
dragonslayer
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
not only that but I do wish Demolish had a nice skill area effect like that dragon breath from dractyrs
slayer is better for M+
🍽️
L no gaze
colo all the way right now but tbh havent done a slayer key yet
its bis on the spec you will click to prog bosses

I'm not swapping to it till that spec beats me
which they never do
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
slayer feels better imo
but like fuck demo cleave is fun
colo owns
do you guys think our mastery should scale better or just right
you beat fury on dragons?
aintnoway or ur fury warrior is just buns
yeah boi
we have 2 furys
I beat them both
What does the build even look like for a Slayer m+/cleave build?
Same as colo but with more focus on Execute SS?
My man
im just signing up as arms
im doing 12s now its literally impossible to geti nvited as arms
ppl think they are better than they are
first week ego
Damage is done. Youtubers said their piece and havent updated their lists at all
Curious! I'll give this a go.
I was wondering how this is lmao. A friend is also suffering with SV hunter getting into keys and they were also thinking of doing this lol
Sign up and swap
Groups fill super fast from my experience
Yeah but you are weird and inhuman
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....
Do we use cleave on CD in two target situations? Or should we only cleave with a 3 stack of collateral damage?
im mid at best just got 20 billion SD procs that pull
I wish I was also mid and every attack I did procced SD.
close
ayyy SS reaps
if you are beating any fury warrior on dragons they are just bad fury warriors lol
Me too
But here we are
I’m just mid

I'm seemingly not beating anything, Midnight made me total trash in Raid for some reason 
Gotta spend a day to fix that
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+
I think thats a bug with damage meters. Had that happen a couple of times at the start of a dungeon
That was with details though 😄
I’m going crazy
Details now is just a reskin of blizzard dmg meters
I thought I got rank 1 on that fight and then I checked the logs and got whiplash
i still have no idea how yall do that much damage on those fuckers
it was all skill I was totally not lucky at all

(dont look at how fast I got my 2nd bladestorm)
looks like arms is doing comparable damage to fury
why is master tactician or brute force not taken? wouldn't it help maintain rage with more over powers?
Idk about brute force, but master tacti is just because the value is so low it might as well not exist
5% more proc chance is extremely low
Yeah brute force isnt much better either
Theyre just tuned too low to be genuinely worth it
Arms owns

who up playin with they worm
Liquid?
(I know no names of their team besides max lmao)
Also I have made my choice
Fuck dk, im leveling my warrior
I really hope we gettin some more ST improvement
is crit that much better because of all the crit damage modifiers we have?
Probably yeah
I mean considering reap is leaving slayer st we literally have to
man i wish we stacked mast instead of crit
Because fury?
i mean it just feels like gambling damage on 30% crit chance is a terrible idea
would just prefer a flat increase
Reaching 80% and up mastery would be bis
Whats that addon ?
true stat values
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
you mean if you don't have crit?
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
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
Yeah sometimes, mainly st tbh
I mean also it'll feel better later on
When we have higher stats
Loosing reck also hurts
yeah, true
I'd crit damage variance isn't that crazy either
...but no it absoutlely is
HOLY FUCK
WHAT ARE THESE FLASK PRICES
Each 2 flask craft costs a Nocturnal Lotus + mats, Lotuses are 2.8k each
lmafo
does dreadnaught make overpower a multitarget ability removing its chance to give heroic strike?
I feel like after playing a ton of m+ today I wish ravager would die a slow death. What a boring talent
No OP will still proc HS
has the recraft been fixed?
Arms keeping up with MM on mythic Paladins warms my cold dead heart
when did Lotus prices go up?
It’s actually slamming!! That last pull walle was like 4th
nerf arms when
Fury stealing the deeps on Dragons, Arms stealing the deeps on Paladins.
Expansion of the woyer dps confirmed
+But guys one MM is outdpsing us
Revvez tomorrow will top dps on paladins and blizzard will nerf arms cause of that
"I have execute" 😄
No hes cleaving

You dont want him to eat all your glue ?
That glue is mine to eat
He has acess to every trinket and he is using that renowm trinket, any ideas ? Walllife from liquid
it sims dummy high
But its a simm bug right ? the uptime on the simms is like 90%
😂
its funny
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
Is paladins the only fight they’ve played arms so far?
Yes
I only really caught Dragons and Paladins but clappa is too stronk to not be Fury on Dragons
I play arms on salad bar too
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
anybody knows what the difference is
is there even a downside to using the smaller one
depends what build are you playing
on "classic" demolish, u do ST rotation, but u use ur cleave with 2+ stack instead of slam as a filler
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
okay saw some people saying sending demo early is okay now, ty
if you are at max stacks send demo after cs
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
Tbh same
you dont need it
Or battlelord
hmmm. i just got a heroic weapon from a delve....
Gz😄
the sweeping strikes from CS is useless too
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?
Thats some big takes in low keys
U allready crafted weapon?
If yes. Upgrade it 100% biggest upgrade no downside
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?
well, it would use my mythic crests
which i could maybe use on something else
On what?
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
oh god no
upgrade those wrists maybe??
we'll be lucky if we even do a few heroics
Then weap is your best bet
definitely don’t upgrade ur weapon as an arms warrior
Full send that shit baby
i just know that those wrists and cape are supposed to be special or something
Not special
maybe upgrade ur battle pet
But they're useful cuz they're low stat budget
truuuue
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
No I dont but you can watch Bizentein
I noticed biz sends demolish off the rip instead of building stacks with cleave spam
Is heroic raid a lot harder ? I dont really have a guild to do it
Definitely a step up in difficulty but not too much harder than normal
If youre patient you can slowly pug through it
Why does Colossus have so low St dmg? Feels do bad to do only a little more than tank dmg
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?
in game buff tracker
Any gain slayer has in ST over colo isnt worth the aoe difference
not really a reason to play slayer besides fun
I know but i meant like
can I just download an addon and not have to think
:3
I mean you dont have to download addon when addon in game
Look
Its better then the shit I went through for arc
I love my ui but fucking christ that was AGONY to set up
i disagree
the aoe is similar and colossus single target is simply not playable
lol the aoe is not similar at all
I aint playing slayer for 12% more boss dmg when colo gains almost 30% aoe
Aoe sims arent gospel
the whole unplayable colo ST is outdated propaganda at this point
You can also run a more single target focused talent build
Feel free to play what you want
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
Lets gooo
ill do some more tomorrow if I can get out of tanking keys for the boys. but right now its 3am and it bed time

Try this next
that's an odd build
Thank you for your feedback for the community.
I got beaten by 2 on a hc one and im still not 2 set
Is arms viable in raid setups?
Single target specifically
Or is fury still outpacing it
I can actually get 4 set now with the 2 catalists haha.
When do you get another catalyst
Isnt it weekly
Achievement I guess
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
F* this shit
thanks to the 66 other people that commented on that thread
and made it as popular as it could be for a arms feedback thread
I did lfr heroic and normal and same

This is some next level BS bro hahahhaa
My pala got 2piece set but I hate to play him
But it seems like:

It feels like shit not getting anything and still losing in ST atleast I can pump numbers in M+
It hurts
It really hurts
This game is testing my mental everyday
Killed Alleria tonight did almost 86k. Just did pure ST. Tried broad strokes for like 2 pulls, but I didn't see the point wasnt really doing anything.
Tbf isnt frost dk lower than arms in logs
:mhm:
who cares other classes dont exist
Lol
Is slayer the go to for st
Werent they gonna nerf arms next season or am i tripping
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
Would say they will buff since these changes feel like they are being made for tuning but you never know with blizzard.

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
👀
Yeah and now devourer snipes all adds with collapsing star auto cleaving at the cost of 1 talent point
GG
Knowing blizzard tho they are prob not making cleave baseline and just adding another required talent for slayer
True
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
Multiple targets
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
slayer arms does kinda go hard
If you push bleeding edge content play something else. If not, play what yuo want :)
10 seat, dec i think
if you are new to the game you can play arms as much as you want
The spec will not be a limiting factor in your gameplay
what is bleeding edge content? is it some kinda content or just metaphor for some kinda end game ranking system?
arms can keep up somewhat with meta specs
high keys / mythic raids
Metaphor for playing in the top3 guilds of the world or competing in the blizzard organized dungeon competitions
Thank you very much sir, I'll give it a go and post how it goes
lowk i think arms would work better in mdi and tgp
than in regular m+
Sure if your team plays like noxivvs
ye true
buff devourer
i almost crashed out yesterday on dreamrift hc
bro just presses collapsing star
pugging will be very hard
no one wants to invite an arms warrior
I don't know what that mean
finding groups
oh sheet
i can safely say arms is so fun in m+
arms do be fun in M+
st is meh but the overall gap is nice😅
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
fury and enh sham
Right now? Unholy DK
@royal estuary Enhance because lust
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
Ok let me check them out
fury gonna be dangerous
that 10% aura was not what i expected ngl
ive played with many unholy dks and most dont know how to play the spec so it makes me wonder
i played with an unholy that knows
Sounds pretty hard to not know how to play the spec
when its so piss easy
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?
yeah from invite standpoint & dps. I don't care if its a little behind other classes, I just want to be good at the class I play
I am guessing this means Enhancement Shaman. I'll try it out. ty
is slayer viable in m+? I miss some ST dmg. Col does huge aoe, but lacks in ST, maybe slayer can balance it out?
post .5 patch slayer might go hard in keys
overall i think col is better but slayer is also good
Can be viable, but colossus really shines during -stacked- pulls in my experience.
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
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...
Honestly, you can run effectively with either
Slayer is really good because it doesn't really rely on stacked packs
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.
You would be trading 30% aoe damage for like 5% St
i honestly do not think this is worth it
i see
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.
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
i am stuck between baldestorm and ravager then, any tips
You cant play ravager as Slayer.
Slayer always bladestorm
140k windrunner
breakdown
Well you can..... and its only like 5% behind bladestorm
this is post nerf
more like 15% st
Thank you
Yh sure, but you might as well play Colosssus then, youre losing half the passives from slayer tree
Colossus is at 77k ST with m+ build. Slayer is at 88k with its m+ build (that is more ST focused anyway)
Idm bladestorm, was just wondering waht to take
so you hold ravager avatar and demlosh completely around colossus strike?
yeah
and as long as collosus strike is up you would use any of those that are up
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
and if nothing is up youd just send CS anyways
yeah CS always on CD
which will happen i assume
got it
picking it up for paladins mythic and havent played it before
basically CS + something or everything as often as u can
trying to figure out the priority for 2T but using the paladins build
how much do you want to cleave in 2t
why does SD move up in priorty in "execute priority" ? for colossus
i assume mortal strike still has prio? but you'd still use the cleave
in 2t you cleave when at 3 collat stacks or ravager up
but you always ms>cleave in 2t
then cleave > ms in 3+
can we get blizz to make ss and broad strokes
stack
pl0x
but realistically from cooldowns youre going to end up using both no matter what
just in different prios
i assume
rather they shot improved sweep, make broad do 18 stacks and not be castable anymore
so never have to care about ss
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
Because it starves with rage so getting a "free" cast off is nice
reaaal
idk im just perma holding ss nowadays
right, but I am not pressing execute anyway, according to wowhead guide
holding it to use after broad strokes
execute only if deep wounds is talented
yeah its very low prio
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
okay thats sort of what I assumed
after the exe buff SD is a good button if you cant press MS or OP in the m+ build tho in St
I guess even with DW talented, why is Execute > MS in single target in execute
EP
it is
They forgot to add arms into the part of "Simplifying and pruning" class design
rate
oly
is demolish also off cooldown? or youd just hold it for after CS
hold for Cs in 99% of cases
kk
You can send a 10 stack if your CS just ran out type of deal
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
Ahh yes it is. Especially when playing in chaotic PUGs. Just a few missplaced Demolishs cause of randomly moving enemies and the advantage of Colossus AoE is gone.
yes if your demolish stacks are 5 or below
Frankly that's a skill issue
Should have learned the cs shockwave demo opener from TWW
Yep, honesty required at times
also how do you want to use heroic strike in a 2t 3t scenario, i appreciate the help btw
to me it seem like you just get hoeric strike off of using cleave with SS
colossus is fun
in 2t you manually send it. In 3t your cleave will spend it with FoB talented
Am I seeing right ? Arms on top on one boss ?!?
At least a warrior spec is top on one boss
walli is topping meters
Don't think that has been the case since S1 TWW
is there situations where instead of using all 4 free cleaves back to back youd mix in your other abilities as to keep the cooldowns rolling
actually nvm since cleave is the highest prio bbut in 2T that point would stand for only MS i assume
So are we alive? 
For one boss yea
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
it was a joke because execute isn't the best
So execute will ~always do more damage than a slam, but execute can cost 20-40 rage whereas slam costs 20 rage
I think they should make execute just cost 30 rage and get rid of all this extra rage bullshit
it's deffo more coggy load yeah

What boss is that?
The paladins, I think
vanguard
That's the paladins, right
3 target boss
Ah
all due to cleave I guess
Right
And sweeping does more dmg on secondary
Isn't MM better than Arms on that fight
your cleave gets buffed on exactly 3-5 targets yeah
yes
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
Arms should be #1 on any ST
Based

Demolish buff 50%
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%
Liquid brought 5 hunters lol
Probably because they didn’t have a 6th one geared enough
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
🤷♂️
if i have a 6/6 hero wep, should i craft a myth wep, or make waist/cape, i don't mythic raid, just heroic and m+
seems pretty reasonable so craft a weapon then
Even if you craft myth weap and get one in the vault next reset, you get the crest economy having a 285 weapon already, so you don't lose much!
q: do you switch off crafted at some point or is the embelish worth the few ilvls of difference?
14%(I am pulling this out of my ass)
could have just looked it up...
Cuz it was pretty broken lol
Arms always has these peaks and then is trash
I dont remember fury being that good except in Antorus and NH
Yeah, and fury is still paying the cost for it.
Fury is allowed max to A tier by Blizzard
Arms should beat fury y
Arms should have 4 arms
Atm more like arm atm
Better than earlier this season when we were legs
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
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
Havent seen mythic y
all the orbs killed, respawn as smaller ones
on basically a 45s-1min timer
guess what spec likes that
By gawd it's thane with a steel chair
how can gaze of the alnseer sim as a dps loss?
for me it's showing a dps loss compared to solarflare prism and crucible of erratic energies
set your sim to use "latest"
oh man I didn't think about that, sorry
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 😄
I'm finding it difficult to not overcap on rage sometimes.
overcap ?
as colossus in m+ ?
if you are overcapping you might using too many Overpowers in between cleaves maybe ?

Might be.
i found the rotation to feel like "cleave mortal OP, cleave mortal OP"
sometimes
I feel it on bosses when we pop lust from time to time.
ofc there is variations ot the rotation but you know what i mean
Yeah
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 ?
if you have shammy i could see there being a lot of rage
without shammy st rage can be rough
hmm i did not get al ot of experience with shamans
i only saw one ele shaman and he did like 35k overall
It's really just at the start. Okay I might be pressing overpower too much.
like he was not even there
Ele has been blasting in my runs.
i mean you wanna press op for sure but not out of order so that you don't get a huge gap in teh rotation ofc
yea that ele wsa probably bad
it's showing up as an even bigger dps loss now in colo ST
oh man
we are doing 130k and 160k overall and he was the first guy i saw at under 50k
what's your crit chance
sometimes it's about the stats you are lacking
18% unbuffed
oh god
+11 Magisters Terrace 
yea that's why
i cry
Damn
how much crit should i aim for?
400%
I should be enchanting/flasking crit right?
🙁
i mean my crit is more than needed but i am like at 35%
Ah wait ill just sim it.
lol
nice that's more like it, how is your ST over all ? is it 45k-60 on pure ST fights "depends on procs and what's available ofc"
if you start boss with 3-4 stacks of apex/Avatar and get HS procs in the first 10 seconds its pretty okay. (and battlelord stacks)
60k+ ST
schrodïnger's opener
last boss dps (ST)
i didn't try with my new weapon so i am hoping i'd be there now
you crafted hte weapon ?
i crafted the weapon and went to sleep
yes 285 weap
guy pumps my ST is balls
what's it feel like if u basically open on a boss dry
rage starved 90% of the time lmao
rip
pretty bad...
oof
nice gives me hope
yea he is sick, problem is other classes are still doing crazy more dps if you have the right ppl. we need more love from blizzard to fix the ST
rn im leveling my unhdk but ive been talking with some friends who are already pushing higher keys
and they say they still feel anemic outside of CDs
not sure if I like that
massive swings in dmg just feel kinda ass when ur not cranking god's cooldowns
With the 10% nerf to cleave, is it still worth it to press cleave over slam in single target?
you are hoping to have 10 demo stacks every time you open on a boss, when it does not happen it feels much eaker.
yeah like i try to play the hs > ms > SD > op > cleave prio
but im always out of rage, on ST
Is there an up to date arms video guide out there?
i was doing m+ with a very good UH dk yesterday "guildy" and at least ST and overall dps he is competing with any one else, it's fine ot have downtime sometimes on packs imo
yes, but you can also take into account not wasting ravager at the end of a boss's life if you know there is big adds pack coming up right after
id personally like dmg profiles to be more leveled out across the board but that's just kinda not how the classes i like to play are designed these days
just a small pet peeve of my I guess
ill just have to get over it
I know we use ravager but I really really like pressing bladestorm.😭
just but some classes are pumping, like when i and hte mage in my group open up with 500k dps bursts the dk is just not gonna end up doing anything at that group
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
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
people often refrain from videos cause they are outdated with a single patchnote on a random sunday
Arms
in keys
@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?
That's fair I just learn better from observation and verbal reasoning rather than just a priority list which is what most guides are these days
With the future changes, arm will be ok for pushing m+ ?
MAybe not like high end M+ but yeah it hsould be fine
True
Least popular m+ spec in the entire game, who knew?
What changes ?
It's already fine right now
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
Arms does very good sustained MT damage in M+, it's just the ST is down
the aoe dmg/selfheal from deepwounds is nice but in 12.0.5 only demolish will apply it in aoe... 
why tho?
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...
Ravager should be removed asap
well atleast slam/HS crits applying DW will be nice. Which means better St and better funnel through fervor
yea at this point i jus twant them to remove all teh sweeping strikes stuff "collateral is fine and deserves to be a talent"
and just make sweeping strike better naturally
18 stacks is good enough for me with sweeping
hmm, I play with the 100% two target talent, 12 stacks is enough from WB/Sweep in m+
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
Collateral is passive and boring now, I don't mind it, but it's also far from necessary anymore
that was my talent suggestion - you have to replace Ravager with something, so a talent that just makes CS hit much harder feels very thematic to Colossus to me
it is less interesting than before for sure, but yea i mean it gives me brain damage that i can't get this for example
like seriously
that's just because of stupid pathing
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
i mean we we are doing too many cleaves in a raw with this new design
Cleave triggers it via FoB
ofc it does
but it buffs Mortal Strike, a single target button that isn't going to contribute much in AoE settings
i mean cuz FoB does not trigger Heroic strike i just did assume as much
FoB does trigger Heroic Strike
correct, it casts the ability
and Martial Prowess requires casting the ability
wasn't this basically baseline with how pathing was prior
I'm not insane right
yes, the old version was at the top of the tree
That's so dumb, why not just code it to work both ways
it's 5% to Mortal Strike though, and MS will simply never make up much of your damage in an AoE setting
again, it's not an AoE talent
okay I thought I was getting dementia
what
I swear to god half of you can't read lol
OH believe it or not i just realized it does not give cleave dmg now
LoL
FoB does trigger Martial Prowess
i mean
this is what happens when you never take hte talent
