slow saddle
#

So addin 3.5% st.helps what🤣

hot current
#

Also i feel like in m+ so damn weak... Like we dont have st as colo at all, and on top of that we have to take 7 aoe talents around cleave... Kinda feel like colo is the worst possible spot ever, in the entire tww felt better than this

slow saddle
#

I mean i like col

thick hamlet
#

and difference between 94k and 120/130k is 25%

slow saddle
#

What are strength of dk?

thick hamlet
#

my point is that sims don't always reflect ingame

slow saddle
#

And weakness

#

Do u know

#

I do

#

So as fury i did a 99% parse at 253 73k did a 91% parse as dk 255 at 80k

#

Fury includes loads of pad

#

Fury does more than arms

#

By a decent amojnt

#

Dk is super volatile so look onøy at top 95%

#

Rest is irrelavant

#

Remove any add dmg as its based on raid comp and greed

hot current
scenic umbra
#

Arms needs rework

#

Not random buffs

#

Its badly design, low dps and squishy af

fossil lynx
#

the design is pretty good

scenic umbra
#

Could be much better

#

MS overload of buffs to hit 70k bcs it doesnt crit

#

Colossus hits like a wet noddle

slow saddle
#

Design is good

scenic umbra
#

Doesnt feel like an executr class

slow saddle
#

Imho

scenic umbra
#

Etc etc

slow saddle
#

Lack rage

scenic umbra
#

Rend....

fossil lynx
#

You are talking damage numbers, you don't know what design means

scenic umbra
#

Ofc its design

slow saddle
#

Design, is fine

#

We are proc spec

scenic umbra
#

MS is our main skill should feel good to press

slow saddle
#

If u dont like thats fair

#

Thats tuning

scenic umbra
#

No its not

slow saddle
#

It is

#

Add 30% ms dmg

scenic umbra
#

No

#

Is not

slow saddle
#

Feels good

scenic umbra
#

Still bad

slow saddle
#

Nah feels good

scenic umbra
#

Crits of 250K or normal hit 30K

slow saddle
#

Pls stfu with auto critd and shit

scenic umbra
#

What kind of design is that

#

Thats not tuning

slow saddle
#

M8

#

Its called burst

#

Pls go fury flatliner

scenic umbra
#

Thats not burst

slow saddle
#

It is burst if it requires all cds

#

And exe

scenic umbra
#

Are you serious

#

Hahaha

slow saddle
#

Pressure profile intp better sub 35%

scenic umbra
#

You dont even know ehat burst means

#

Yeah guys burst this add

slow saddle
#

I mean i play uh as well

scenic umbra
#

And then there is an arms that doesnt do a single crit

#

So does less dps than tank

slow saddle
#

Thats variance m8

scenic umbra
#

Yeah great butst

slow saddle
#

Get more crir%

scenic umbra
#

Burst

untold pewter
#

Arms has been like this for so long
This whole "MS should feel good" comes from where exactly? Classic?

scenic umbra
#

Not at all

steep osprey
#

What the hell is this conversation

slow saddle
#

Like any class if u dont crit u do less dmg?

#

I dno?

scenic umbra
#

Man no class has a 30-250k variance

#

In any skills

#

Makes you way less reliable in progress content

#

And annoying to play

slow saddle
#

Fdk a non empowered obl, vs fully empowered

scenic umbra
#

If you playing for hc then its comoletely fine

#

But in progress it is a flaw

untold pewter
#

It's absolutely not exclusive to Arms

slow saddle
#

Like super false

steep osprey
#

I don't know if that's true. In a full boss encounter, it averages out. If Arms is well tuned and has that variance, it would still be fine

untold pewter
#

That's the next point

Not every MS will crit but it will average out

#

That's why sims are mostly accurate

slow saddle
#

Also we removed the 60% op buff to ms

untold pewter
#

Yes you can high roll but that's the exception

slow saddle
#

So less variance now than earlier?

scenic umbra
#

Yeah average out in a 20s add

slow saddle
#

On a per try basis yes

untold pewter
#

Yes

#

It will

scenic umbra
#

Xd

slow saddle
#

Can u get 1 bad try yes

#

To minimize odds

#

Get more crit %

scenic umbra
#

Then

umbral linden
#

imho arms is badly designed, but not everywhere
the probs are:

  • sd and arms's slayer overall
  • rage generation (like damn paladins can multitarget auto and ARMS war cant)
  • the worst one imho - lack of overlapping mechanics, like arms only has the 3target free slam, while most of other specs have like everything inside everything, so arms is feeling kinda clunky

other things are pretty good

scenic umbra
#

Arms is perfect

#

Hope it stays as it is

#

Its so good

untold pewter
#

Yeah that's what we're saying
Arms is perfect

slow saddle
#

I said proc playstyle is pretty good

#

Painpoints are tuning

#

Like weak af ms

#

And rage

#

For me

fossil lynx
#

Rage is fine as slayer I'd say, it's a colo problem

slow saddle
#

I mean consider

rare kite
#

it is true tho that it would be nice to get some more ms crits. the variance is poretty disgusting

slow saddle
#

As slayer in raid

#

U have shammy

scenic umbra
#

Absolute yapping

untold pewter
#

I like the current playstyle too
Numbers are wacky
Rage is fine imo I don't like when rage is cosmetic

scenic umbra
#

Playatyle is good

scenic umbra
#

But could be way better

untold pewter
#

Yes I hate weak execute

rare kite
untold pewter
#

I don't care about MS damage variance
Irrelevant on a pull per pull

slow saddle
#

Id like op to obtain rage

umbral linden
#

always found funny that fury got rage generation inside builders, while arms literally got no buttons to generate rage
and that would be acceptable if arms got some auto-attack talents, besides one class tree tal

slow saddle
#

In execute

fossil lynx
untold pewter
untold pewter
rare kite
#

if i cannot press something all the time i think the design is flawed

scenic umbra
steep osprey
umbral linden
steep osprey
#

It's just a preference

#

Clearly you think rage should be infinite, I don't

untold pewter
#

It's literally just preference

What matters at the end of the day is the DPS we do

Not if we skip a gcd or not

slow saddle
#

I mean op should generate rage in execute

#

We need more rage there mainly

rare kite
untold pewter
#

Execute feels bad rn, idk how they messed that up this bad

slow saddle
untold pewter
rare kite
#

dead globals is just ass no matter what

slow saddle
#

Thats how

daring heron
#

I dont think you should rage starve when you use your OP and SD procs properly, but you do

untold pewter
daring heron
#

so current rage sucks imo

umbral linden
gleaming imp
#

can you send pics here

steep osprey
#

Yes

gleaming imp
#

how did i do xd

slow saddle
#

So exe should reset op at 100% chance

gleaming imp
#

magisters terrace 10

rare kite
#

insane opinions

slow saddle
#

Wtf

untold pewter
#

Kek

umbral linden
#

for me personally arms lacks some stupid-level narrative ability for class personality
i want them cool autoattacks, multitarget or big and cool, like slayer's hit
im arms warrior damn, let me swing

slow saddle
#

Jugg was horrid

untold pewter
#

Like wanting rage to be cosmetic is an insane opinion for me

slow saddle
#

Again tuning has fucked arms more than anything

#

Mid beta, arms was in a good place

#

Imho

rare kite
# slow saddle Jugg was horrid

yupp. one of the first things i saw when midnight went live was a new guy going "why did they remove stacking execute" so people will actually like anything. if it exists there's someone out there that likes it

gleaming imp
#

arms doesnt need new abilities or revamped ones

slow saddle
#

Mid beta dreadnaught was great

untold pewter
#

I'm not saying rage starving is the best
I'm saying I prefer it over cosmetic rage

The ideal scenario is not rage starving if played right but also not having surplus rage all the time

slow saddle
wet zinc
#

are all the guides up to date or which one should i go by for talents and rotation?

rare kite
untold pewter
#

Agreed

#

That's my point

slow saddle
#

But solution then id

#

Less rage from aa

#

More rsge from op?

rare kite
#

yeah that would be ideal. the difference between you and me is you prefer starving over cosmetic, i prefer cosmetic over starving

#

blizzard finding a balance is rough

untold pewter
#

(But I do enjoy charge weaving, you can call that an insane opinion) lmao

slow saddle
#

I prefer cosmetic rage 100-35% if that gives me decent gameplay in execute

untold pewter
#

It's just fun yep

slow saddle
#

But being rage starved pre execute playing correctly...

daring heron
untold pewter
#

It is

slow saddle
#

And again charge weavin deffo not plan of makin shit simpler

untold pewter
#

I like when you can squeeze a charge here or there flowing through mechanics
That does not fix the rage issue at all though
And certainly doesn't help with our DPS

#

It's just a fun gimmick imo
I agree it doesn't make shit simpler but tbh I don't care about making shit simpler

slow saddle
#

They did some janky shit

#

Tactician was based on rage

#

Now its flat %

#

Hurts resets via exe

#

Which means in gen increased rage use

#

Op used to give rage

#

Sub 35%

#

Also they cut our aa rage input

#

😅, wonder why we starve

untold pewter
#

I'd like rage to be cosmetic inside execute and require proper play outside of execute

Execute, imo, should feel rewarding

Some folks don't like needing to wait for execute to do damage but I used to love "the climb" in exe
In raids, ofc

slow saddle
#

Either we proc based spec, or we need to make desicions based on rage

#

Like before in sl + 60 rage exe sub slam

#

Op

#

Now i gotta ignore a proc or pray the 30% in my favor or im starved

untold pewter
#

Yeah it's not nice

tired sinew
#

i just feel rend should do something baseline.. be it give rage or give procs.. should smooth out somehting.. rend is like 0 interaction

slow saddle
#

Wdym rend has talent for rage

tired sinew
#

hence baseline

untold pewter
#

It's essentially baseline

slow saddle
#

M8, warrior

#

Nothing is baseline

#

😅

untold pewter
#

Yeah lmao

slow saddle
#

Just give rend good old 10% crit dmg

#

That way we actually like havin it on

#

It rly is that simple🤣

untold pewter
#

Bring back Legion or Amirdrassil Arms

slow saddle
#

Amirdrassil

#

Simple but fun

untold pewter
#

Yep

slow saddle
#

And again i mind juggernaut less

#

If u cant juggle it

untold pewter
#

Yeah juggernaut wasn't the TWW clown gaming

slow saddle
#

Still want it gone

#

Coz sd should always fuck

#

Heck sd should prob be 100% crit chance

#

Big fackin number coomin right up

#

Man im a simple guy

untold pewter
#

Dude yes

slow saddle
#

I c big number and i have button to press

#

Im happy

#

I want numbers from ms // exe.

untold pewter
#

And that's how it used to be
Idk what the heck they're trying to accomplish with Arms

slow saddle
#

Op + dreadnaught being crazy ofc is a better dmg profile

#

Also

#

Recklessness

#

How is that not arms

#

20% crit + 25% rage

untold pewter
#

As expected and foreseen right upon announcement, Blizz doesn't have the IQ/manpower to do hero talents, remove this shit

slow saddle
#

Its made for arms

slow saddle
#

To me it would be simple tiers

#

Should force 1 hero spec in raid per season

#

Force as in at least bettrr

#

By a bit

#

I want a col tier st

gleaming imp
slow saddle
#

How so

#

They have ways to gain rage

gleaming imp
#

Cause they are more reckless berserkers xd

fossil lynx
#

it's being fury since 2004

slow saddle
slow saddle
#

In talents for a good perioed

#

In df?

fossil lynx
slow saddle
#

Was fuckin lit. But in normaø blizzard style instead of just tuning the inc rage they cut it

#

Df talent trees were good

#

Are good

untold pewter
#

Yep

slow saddle
#

Exept on war

#

Like on most classes they are rly gold

fossil lynx
#

We are complaining constantly (and other specs) about having 0 aoe if you go st and 0 st if you go aoe. You have the DF talents to thank for that

steep osprey
#

Completely disagree

#

One of my favorite systems

fossil lynx
#

The defensive and utility overload too

slow saddle
#

U mean good play being rewarded

#

Y i liked idiots dieng ngl

#

Issue is warrior class tree filled with dmg nodes

#

That isnt rly a buff, but forced to be taken, while still doin shit dmg

#

Also arms doesnt loose insane amounts of st going cleave atm

#

We just havent got anythin to loose😅

#

Like if we in gen simmer 20k higher, which would put us at 112k like ret?

#

We would be fine in collosus

#

Issue is now they made gap between col and slayer bigger by buffin exe, so the real punishment is hero spec failure

#

Which could be tuned eaasily

gleaming imp
#

I dont feel slayer being that much better

#

In dungs

#

Maybe im trash with it tho

gleaming imp
floral ledge
#

hi guys, so what' will be our sims after buffs in st

steep osprey
#

I'm guessing it's a 7-8% buff

slow saddle
#

I say4

halcyon valve
#

I say 3% higher

#

Going by boss damage parses, this is how it looks, so 20% on execute and 10% on OP is 3% and a little bit

gleaming imp
#

How much ST dmg does arm do on st boss

#

Like dps

steep osprey
#

at least 3

slow saddle
#

With buff prob 1-1 as fury

#

Only arms less tanky

#

And requires way more luck

fresh spire
#

Buffs was around 3k

#

It's like 3%

steep osprey
#

fiishy

leaden garnet
#

It's okay bros, Arms still only has like 5% of the playerbase as Fury

#

Blizzard has given us three consecutive buffs, maybe the next three will fix us

fossil quiver
#

Hows the gameplay ? What is played in m+ between col and slayer ?

#

I thought it was good in TWW S3, is it worse or same ?

odd ledge
halcyon valve
#

Thats not how it works

odd ledge
#

Why not 🙁

#

Ewww I just checked deep wounds

#

Yikes

slow saddle
#

I mean rebuff dw the 33% u stole

#

For zero reasons?

#

Not like fury couldnt use the st buff🤣

fresh spire
#

i think the issue is less about dw and more that execute itself was bad, dw should always be seen as the biproduct of execute and not the main contributior of damage for it. would much rather see colossus bleeds rebuffed substantially so that DW/Mortal wounds has a more impactful part in the spec again instead of just still being purely passive and barely any more damage over slayers.

#

Tbf i wouldn't mind colossus bleed nodes being fully shot at this point leaving only the demolish one and having returning talents instead such as Exhilerating blows/ Mortal combo in their place while also removing crushing combo as a talent. let exhil make cleave the power house of colossus while buffing and tuning reap for slayer to be powerful from the lesser usage of cleaves overall

limber apex
#

Is the APM noticeably lower for arms vs fury ?

#

Or is it also super spammy

naive steeple
#

Guys, why are you complaining so much about Arms? When I look at Warcraft Logs, the vast majority of the top 1 damage is Arms. I mean, single target is important, but the complete package seems quite strong

limber apex
#

Look per boss stats. The top arms you see are probably parse farmers

naive steeple
#

The only thing that makes fury appear so frequently in the logs is the simple fact that it's the most popular class and has a much larger log base.

ah you're right, I was looking at raid like a dumbass lol

naive steeple
barren rain
#

it defaults to raid every single time you open the menu so it caught me out

naive steeple
#

And they're going to buff single target on the 31st... that's a good thing, maybe we'll see a lot more arms around.

barren rain
#

fingers crossed

#

I swapped to DK this expac because of how awful arms felt in the pre-patch, then seeing it do garbage numbers just made it worse

#

I just want to swing a big sword around again

One more ms buff

And all will be forgiven

crit damage scales with crit chance

#

its insane to me that arms didnt get ms always crits for apex

#

when that has been the biggest pain point for the spec

#

for expansions now

latent moss
#

replace ravager wtih cs does 5000% more damage or something

may ravager die in .2

Please lord

Yea stacking cs dmg

especially given the bugged loot where 2h are the only weapons that drop

Just go in melee range as MM

Is there anyway to get any of the capes from legion remix or should i start getting FOMO ?

Uhh trader tenders

hope so, green one would fit my dk

turbid warren
#

out of the loop, how comp dependant is arms rn? Im just doing 10-12s atm but dunno what the best choice is when pugging, arms or fury

#

i got 2pc if that matters

pure wren
#

Arms is fine in that bracket with 2-set. Mega bonus points if you can pull things onto a boss.

thorny sierra
#

Question: Where in this discord would I post findings for optimizations to the warrior APL? (if any discovered?). Is this the current area?

fresh spire
#

On the shaman discord

steep osprey
#

Lmao

steep osprey
thorny sierra

like findings that yield superior DPS to the current iteration/meta

people who find apl optimizations for warrior send them here and we check them out and send to archi to push to simc

Any chance arms will be on par with fury in m+ on Tuesday?

latent moss
#

already is

boreal remnant
#

arms was already probably doing more overall than fury, it was very good in aoe

#

it just lacked any relevant st

shadow ibex
#

Those are st buffs

boreal remnant
#

yes

blazing arrow
#

I see

slow saddle
slow saddle
#

So its 10% op, which doenst change much

#

We are just 2 far behind in st

shadow ibex
#

I stopped believing they would give colossus st

slow saddle
#

I mean arms in gen

#

Have vs top classes shit st

#

Consider if arms was tuned st just hmm 115k st

#

Raid great for arms

shadow ibex
#

We have 1 raid hero spec 1 m+ hero spec

slow saddle
#

Like we tuned so poorly spec cant compensate

#

Raid spec also bad

#

Its simply tuned so far behind

regal dragon

how the next buffs lookin?

slow saddle

Not enuff

#

But helps. Exe feel better

#

Makes Arms more viable for Alleria ig

slow saddle
#

Doesnt fix overall st dmg

sharp goblet
#

i didn't crunch the numbers, but I feel like OP is what, a 1% gain on ST? and execute seems decent for slayer

slow saddle
#

When u start out at 72k

#

And top spec is 130k

#

Its near imp 2 catch up

#

Esp in a raid where what we do matches well

split zinc
#

Buff MS another 12%

slow saddle
#

20%

#

Is needed

unborn canyon
#

nah, buff the whole spec 30%

split zinc
#

I’d kill for 20%

Cant have that

i fucking hate dks

Hello everyone wanted to do a second class and never played war arms ! Spells seems great to use so i want to test it !
Actually only 80 will do the leveling with Collossus and also learn the rotation.
For my understanding, i keep rend everytime and refresh 4 then cleave as prio over MS (in multi)
Overpower proc is when ? thanks

slow saddle
#

B0000m big buff

steep osprey
#

Yeah but unholy was really bad

#

It was actually the worst spec

slow saddle
#

🤣

steep osprey
#

By a decent margin

slow saddle
#

Like arms was?

steep osprey
#

No

#

It wasn't

flat willow
#

nah cuz arms at least had decent aoe

steep osprey
#

Arms was in the middle

#

Yep

flat willow
#

it was doing arms single target

#

and no aoe

steep osprey
#

Yep

slow saddle
#

I mean it did still 110k in sims?

flat willow
#

the sims were bugged

slow saddle
#

Well now its 100% top melee

#

By decent margin

steep osprey
#

They overshot with the buffs

#

Oh well

slow saddle
#

Also grips are legit good

flat willow
#

idk it doesn't seem to be doing insane damage

#

it's not in a bad spot

slow saddle
#

All bosses kek

flat willow
#

it does a lot of single target

steep osprey
#

Why did they buff survival when it's number 2 lol

regal dragon
#

fury it still is then

flat willow
#

at the cost of doing pretty bad aoe/switch

steep osprey
#

Opposite of arms btw

slow saddle
#

The aoe is good if u have cds

flat willow
#

arms+unholy owns in mythic+

steep osprey
#

Why did they buff devourer last week lol

#

Devourer needs a 15% nerf

flat willow
#

new spec

#

gotta own

mortal rivet
flat willow
#

it's like when they release a new champion in league of legends

#

it gotta be overtuned for a while so people start maining it

steep osprey
#

There's a difference between being that far ahead and doing poorly

#

Lol

flat willow
#

it's like when death knight released

#

just doing double the damage of some other specs

steep osprey
#

That was not intentional

#

They sucked at balancing

flat willow
#

they didn't suck so badly to not realize death knight was destroying everything

sharp goblet
#

i mean when monk released it was fairly mid, dh as well? I expected devourer to suck when announced honestly

flat willow
#

monks weren't bad when they released them

steep osprey
#

I mean they did nerf dk in wotlk because of the performance though

flat willow
#

dh had the problem of needing the legendary

#

i think it was a ring that gave them infinite rage

#

or whatever their ressource is called

steep osprey
#

Yeah this whole "new class therefore has to be overtuned" is just unfounded

#

It was only a thing for dks in wotlk

sharp goblet
#

monks were fine, but not overperforming iirc (on live); were kinda nuts in pvp tho

steep osprey
#

Devourer is a spec, not a class too

#

I'd understand making a new class a bit strong

#

But not a spec

sharp goblet
#

new class = more boosts

ayo gamers, on ST do you ever delay your CS to make sure your demolish is in the window? i've been having some situations come up where they get desynced, for colossus arms ofc

gusty oxide
#

These buffs are mainly ST and cleave....ishhh? , And marginal in aoe situations

tall socket
#

remember when augment came out and there was not a cap to how many augments could buff a single person so they started nearly 1 shoting mythic Aberrus bosses by turkey stuffing 2 unholy DKs with the buffs of 15 Evokers and watching them tear the bosses appart

Other than that its chill

2 questions for colossus, and desynced cds.

Is demo only used during CS, period?

How long can i hold one for the other (demo and CS)?

latent moss
#

only with cs

#

u hold demo for cs not the other way around

shadow ibex
#

Yea colossus cs should just do like 67 million dmg

copper swan
brisk orbit
#

there are times where i cs with a buffed demo ready in like 15 seconds, sometimes i cant get the cdr to fit it in that cs. still hold it for the next cs?

If you can cast it in the window then send it, if not then dont

Colo for that 5% size increase you gigachad

slow saddle
#

PLAYING UHDK

#

Can we agree that on Colo

#

when i send Avatar

#

i should also auto cast RAV

#

would 100% make it feel way better

#

also it COULD buff

#

MS 50% or Cleave 50%

#

so if st it still had value

spring vale
slow saddle
#

nah

#

i want to control when i burst

spring vale
#

I like it a lot on prot

#

Fair

slow saddle
#

consider on arms

#

it opens cleave up

#

but u want cs up and avatar

#

so having randomly it NOT coomin in cds would be horrid

spring vale
#

True

#

But it still desyncs ever so slightly bc anger management not working on Rav sadge

slow saddle
#

that is why

#

i wanted rave passively

#

on avatar 😄

#

coz when i avatar, i want to fuck

#

Hear me out, what IF avatar on COL give MS half the CD and 50% more ms dmg

#

so basicly u just OP - MS -op MS

#

spam that ms almost

spring vale
#

So like how thane prot gets to tclap shield tclap shield?

slow saddle
#

yeah

#

i mean it is simple

#

but it would help Col's ST as lot

#

as it would keep up WB longer in st

#

and the benefit of naked ms hits

#

both are things we like 😛

storm pendant
#

What if avatar make you summon 3 avatars like babarian in diablo

cosmic shale
#

I imagine the rage starvation

rain anchor
#

is it pretty much just colossus in m+

#

or do people play slayer

slow saddle
#

ppl play slayer

#

in 10-12s

#

but if u ask if its as good no its not

#

but its still ok

#

and u can easily get by doing ok dmg

shadow ibex

No amount of procs or cdr will make slayer a real spec

not a lot more st though is it?

I don't raid though so only have 1 tier piece. results may vary

I've been seeing some crazy damage from arms players in m+

On aoe that is.

Yeah, arms aoe is crazy

Id rather play no m+ then colo and relying on tanks to pixelstack packs for me

sheesh we dont have it easy huh?

i found if you set a message to the leader when you apply like "pushing my io score, will sweat to time this key" it helps a little bit. seems if you arent fury its auto deny atm

earnest tendon

its the same with fury x)

fleet spindle

oh rip

#

crazy thing is my score is p decent and i have 4set

ppl really are biased

dw tho, they'll take the devourer demon hunter that dies 6+ times, doesnt release, and types while dead meanwhile you top overall dps

Had an app to my 10 by a rogue who put in note "CHAMPION, HAVE THOU NEED FOR A ROGUE ON YOUR JOURNEY?"

So I insta-picked him for being a chad RPer. Dude spoke in-character the whole run. Bro was the best rogue I've played with in years.

slayer is gonna go stupid mode with that execute buff

fleet spindle
#

im curious, ive only been running colo for m+. do you think slayer m+ will be superior? atm colo does very well

odd ledge
#

i think slayer will be less aoe but still the better all around spec

#

if you want both aoe and st

fervent cedar
#

less aoe but better single target (nominally)

#

with the execute buffs, could maybe be an overall better pick

#

colo aoe is just absurd tho

fleet spindle
#

colo aoe when the tank pulls 2-3 packs, you charge in with ravager, avatar, colo smash, with demolish cleave technology mm mm

#

i forgor rend as the warm up

eager sable
latent moss
#

the buff isnt that big cause u dont get to press execute a lot

#

compared to raid slayer

fleet spindle

plus colo gets the 5% increase size buff which increases your aura

does champion's spear see any use in m+?

nova marsh
#

Spear hasn't been run for arms since shadowlands

fleet spindle
#

ive only seen prot warriors use it

polar portal
#

Thematically I like the idea of throwing a spear that makes me do more crit damage

#

In practice it's annoying because the tank might want to move

nova marsh
#

I mean that dosen't matter now, no?

untold trench
#

To be fair, what was mentioned was theme, not current effect

nova marsh
#

actually no it dosen't it dosen't do crit dam anymore

polar portal
#

Yeah we don't have the talent anymore

cedar frigate
#

Anyone know how big the DPS gain from tier set is?

untold trench
#

I never liked the idea of a warrior 'rune of power' thing

nova marsh

I don't think many did tbh

polar portal
#

In PVP it was pretty fucking funny though

I mean, if you played vs nabs

that didnt bug the spear

Isn’t slayer solidly behind in aoe

surreal lodge
#

Is arms competitive with fury on tuesday if you have 4 set?

#

I was only like 6k behind on sims this week between the two specs

nova marsh
#

Realistically fury is still better

polar portal
#

It's a ~4% buff I think

nova marsh
#

god

#

blizz loves 4%

maiden moat
#

i think arms will be better at Nexus king and paladins, but all other bosses fury will beat arms still

lament marlin
#

im also late for that i guess because im on-off arms (or war at all) but why tf are most classes pruned to like 5 abilities and we here on arms with a full ass bar of 11 spells in cooldownmanager 😄 you think they will change this is near future

brisk orbit
#

this is even after getting rid of skullsplitter and roar

can i see some peoples arms action bars and keybinds. im new to arms and wanna see a good optimal way. i know the rotation but my keybinds feel clunky with it

these are the keybinds i like to use (pretty new to wow) but let me know if you notice some changes that need to happen for good flow.

clicking avatar?

glass compass
#

If you have a moba background, which I think you might, you may want to consider putting often-used spells on q,e and r such as mortal strike, overpower, and execute. But everyone's different, whatever is comfy

crystal jay
#

NO

#

srry caps

#

its macro'd. i just got it there to make sure it was working lol

sage bison
#

ahh

crystal jay
#

yeah i do. i just swapped so i wasnt sure what was often used yet

#

see i have no real keybind preference. so im just testing stuff out atm

nova marsh
#

Holy shit

glass compass
#

nice one. you'll often find yourself reaching for those- big part of your core rotation, so that would be my recommendation to get you started

nova marsh
#

This is the griup with the most aura ever

mild dagger
#

Are the bonus stats worth it enough to take less than ideal secondary stats?

spring vale
#

Probably sim angle but speed isnt that big of a deal

shadow ibex
#

Speed bis

nova marsh
#

general rule of thumb is don't care about tertierary stats

#

BUT, on the bright side you could just turn that speed chest into tier

#

Which might have better satts haven't checked

hmmmm okok, im new to it and trying to get it down thank you

#

Embrace the arms

fleet spindle
#

for starters, id import archimtiros m+ talents off icey veins. you can be competitive with popular specs no problem

sand totem
#

So does augs damage count the additional damage it gives to other classes? Cause its mogging everyone else

fervent cedar
#

in logs, yes

#

and even then the logs dont even capture all of the damage it grants from specific stat increases, like prescience crit

alpine badger
#

pretty good balance honestly

oh yeah more stats nice i like this site

Warrior also looks alot better on archon

😂

fleet spindle
#

we're almost the least popular spec lol, some pugs ive joined said "wow an arms warrior in the wild"

13.8% are frost mage... sheesh

i guess thats good for time warps in our keys

kinda neat being 2nd top dps

Do y’all use interpose a lot? I can’t tell how useful it would be

Am I dumb or is Arms missing spell reflect, pummel and wrecking throw/shattering throw on the cooldown manager? Fury has them.

i think you can adjust that, i have those visible

Kha my goat

Arms Aoe shines in higher keys r?

its rng but i do 60-80k

bad rng = 50k

fleet spindle

from my experience yes sir, dont be afraid to use your cds on packs of mobs

stable fiber
#

good rng = 80k

#

im also 272 ilvl which helps

this mightve been earlier in an m0 or low key but being top dps is pretty consistent even at 10s im running

with anger management and higher keys, you get some good uptime on using cds from pack to pack its great!

Running the talents from the wowhead guide. Colossus. Doing 9-11 keys. My rotation is basically what the guide said.

only on first pull of dungeon

#

shouldnt ever fall off otherwise outside of rp or bad tank

sand totem
#

Okay ye

minor gust
#

There's not really a rush to send demo right away in aoe. Try to build stacks while tank gathers mobs, and follow the opener getting your cleaves off until on cd if your still not at max stacks hit an MS and just slam the demo

#

In ST can just send it right away after one MS to keep them from desyncing as much as possible.

safe vigil
#

also dominance of the colossus is also based off colossal might stacks

old glacier
sand totem
#

Yeah thanks lads. I never considered if sweeping crit and getting 4. I knew if it swept i would get 2, but didnt consider the doubles.

Just did a key and this tip actually made a world of difference.

which tip

literally just tryin arms now

i played with a good sub

he beats me with all cds

weird, i've never had problem with those mobs 👀

#

the little dudes apply a 1% stacking max health poison that stacks infinitely, was he not stunning them and running away (or getting poison cleansed)?

fleet spindle
#

we're in boys, 10 pug pit of saron only took 30 mins

dire hinge
# latent moss -70% hp

this mob only has two abilities:

  • AoE around a rupture on the ground
  • Stacking debuff that increases your Frost damage taken by 100% for 8 seconds
    People should be cleaving off this guy, but i have yet to see really any guide mention this mob specifically because the damage it does is essentially meaningless 👀
#

I've done that key a bunch as a tank and never noticed him do literally anything 😂
Was your tank pulling multiple Graveblades simultaneously or something, so that the debuff never fell off?

#

yeah, for example the phrase "graveblade" hasn't even been mentioned in this discord (ever) before. If it was problematic you'd see it pop up in #protection at least. I dont think this was a mob issue, it sounds like your tank messed up

i swapped to thane fury for the nexus points

thane fury just works all the time imo

no matter how ur tank pulls
