that is true. for now...
until the time comes
a lot of it is based on circumstance
shoutout frozenbozo, convinced me to slarms and never looked back
Firm handshakes all around
Should i be BS instead of cleave during CS window?
Alright, thank you for answering. That’s probably what I will do, weird that it breaks for some people and not others. I only have one addon and that is pvp tab target
Wait we use Bladestorm not Ravager? I was following Wowhead guide
Bladestorm for SL, Ravager Colo
BS for slarms, rava for colossarms
so do we go SL in keys or Colossus
either or
colo is big time aoe, wet noodle boss dmg, SL is good aoe, better boss dmg
Cleave on CD. After ava/CS send your 4 cleaves and any SD procs that you get if you don't have any ID stacks. Then BS while cleave is on CD. Thanks to the tier set you will have plenty of extra CS time to fit all that and a full BS
SL is more pug friendly imo, cause colo you hoping your tank doesnt just yoink ur mobs out of your demos half the time
Is there a build for SL? I could not find it
for M+
same place as every other build
there is on wowhead
Oh huge 
but if 1 says it's best and the other is also viable it's cooked
Like I did not even know
@minor gust what do you use mostly?
Both Colo and slayer are good right now. Try em both out and play what you like more. I personally have been playing a lot of slayer.
I see, ty
Some people love the more explosive large aoe of Colo. Some like the more smooth forgiving slayer and doing more boss dmg without relying on tanks to pull mobs onto boss for funnel.
How’d he convince you of slarm vs colo?
Tried it and loved it 
slarm is nice
just feels good
i dont have a fixed group so, pugging with demo was just hoping tanks gigapulled packs
prob told him he can press buttons without rage starving
oh I think I like Slayer I'll try it out for sure
Don’t think, try and see it for urself 
doing tank level damage as colo feels bad
on bosses st
Actually had a brm out dps me i was like nope this aint it lmao. So it was either slarms do good or back to furyboi
how would you rank slarm vs col and thane dmg in packs?
col>slayer>thane

then for st thane>slayer>>col
I haven't seen anyone say that at all this week
That's what I'm thinking, like, what's wrong with it
Nothing?
BS lasts 20 years and RNG can be funny but uh slayer has pretty chill gameplay.
People just don't like the rng
Going dry on sd procs just has you sitting there jerking
what enchant u guys using for M+ i read Acuity of the Ren'dorei?
Then you get the opposite and proc out your mind and do as much AOE as colo

im personally just not a fan of arms in single target in general
Im just not a fan of colos st
Time to get some crit haste gear and have a rip at arms in raid
pull trash onto bosses, never ST 
Archi what is your opinion on best spec per boss? Mythic ofc
overall? probably Devourer
Ok probs should of said warrior specs 😅
Is this breakdown fine for M+?
Buff warrior st please
What i would like to hear :: weve seen collosus arms is eay behind slayer in st. And made sure to close the gap tp 3%
Does arms demo play generally the same as TWW
you mean colossus
Demo warlock? 
it actually is closing in 12.0.5
and I'm sure there will be more adjustments before that patch goes live, though I wouldn't expect Warriors to suddenly skyrocket to the top or anything
pretty much
i wonder why they are so conservative with buffing our ST, doing it bit by bit like they are so afraid of overbuffing us when there is such a large gap before we go anywhere near top ST
I think some of it is reap///sweep//cleave
Also if we were tuned at just ret st
Arms and fury would fuuuuck, coz raid seems 2 carry us
I get the sense that Blizzard sees Warrior as a cleave class, giving us lower ST in turn
But idk, some specs are great at both
yeah having an ST 'tax' because our cleave/aoe is great kinda doesnt fly in modern wow when a good number of specs are allowed to have both every season
hope is good news
do u hold demolish if u dont have 5 stacks when u hit collosus for ur next cs?
Getting demolish out during your cs window is the most important thing, regardless of stacks
So just send it before cs ends even if you can't reach 5 somehow
finally got back to the game, is there any specifics on heroic strike usage ? wowhead doesnt seem to indicate anything in the rotation part
alright, seems in aoe that 4 cleave>ms>demolish is good but not sure what to do in ST, getting there lol so thank you
press it when u can
sike
Can slayer not proc reap the storm in ST at all in 12.0.5?
I have only 2 pc tier set. which is the build slayer or collosus better?
Being at the top has its negatives. So, I personally rather be not even top 3, cause we are already known for overperforming- Arms warriors that is.
This made me actually giggle 
are you that streamer that no bull shit 1 min guide ?
but they‘re not 1min anymore, since the hero talent trees and the different playstyles
oic I luv your video. I am trying to figure out which Arms build for raid and Mplus.
And your ui is awesome. any guide on your addons and UI?
thanks!
I‘m lazy and just use AtrocityUI with a few personal tweaks. So I can‘t share that sadly, sorry

Anyone knows what's this? Can't use it.
how is arms doing nowadays in m+ compared to fury since the recent buffs? are they both equal in terms of overal dps?
yes arms is good
Arms owns 
Is söayer a viable options now in keys
yes
Great do you recommend a specific build or are the m+ talents for slayer from wowhead guide already the one everyone is using ?
wowhead one is the one
cool
my main struggle as an arms warrior are boss fights, i can keep up in trash pulls
but when we hit the boss :/
i play as colossus and when i go slayer i do less aoe and only a little more single target but maybe its just me being a noob 😄
currently leveling a druid alt. what is faster to level now, timewalking queues as healer or delves?
tw I think
think so too
above in overall dps I'd say
thats the feeling i'm also having
I sent some keys as arms slayer. I'm definitely not the best at it, but I don't see how it beats out thane in aoe packs. Consistently 20k below on overall
maybe I make that up with better cd use
what key levels are you doing
also the boss dmg is abysmal
on slayer ?
those keys were 12
whoever is responsible for arms' colossus ST damage should be investigated
are 12 keys also at he point where things die too fast at this point ?
honestly the pure ST colossus build is kinda fun
the aoe one where you cleave inside of rav sucks tho
I mean what kind of overall are you guys pulling? I had 145k thane in a 15 MT last night
just don't know what is good for arms
or even if that number is good for fury LOL
been playing warrior like nonstop since bfa and this is the first time I genuinely don't want to play this class
lol what?
it there a way to macro so that a button only would press heroic strike if it was spammed?
lols this rotation is fine
bet you loved chucking ignore pain in your rotation you crazy boi
Arms rotation fine? Buddy dont think so
not having shaman, being rage starved, and having to do colossus single target rotation
idk man
doing literal tank dmg lmfao
go slayer then
dont find slayer that much better in single target and is worse in aoe
but again, could be all me doing it wrong 😄
how can i simm the best way for arms ? for execute reasons ?
Slayer is also rage starved. I often have to charge weave during execute phase
can someone explain why the most common stats for crafting two-hand weapon is haste/mastery?
we benefit from haste > crit > mastery right?
on that topic i also have a question, do we have diminishing returns on crit/haste? a point were we better go mastery instead?
Because most people where fury when they did there crafts
so it's just a safe option to go haste/mastery so that you can change spec and benefit in both cases?
y cause we dont know also how to sim, is 2tg best
i simm a shit in confront of fury with best gear, and set my items for haste crit there is no improvements
If you want to sim specifically for execute phase there is an option for execute patchwerk
ong it feels like arms is slapping in m+
y i know but there isnt an entire fight
im even doing well in ST
and simc told me that if i set my ch on crit haste deals lower dmg then hast mastery
so what exactly is the question
if your sim is telling you haste mast is better then listen to your sim
nah cause i have all haste mastery gear, and all player shift into crit for arms
could you link your sim?
well you don't really have any relevant gear to swap between
you have like one high ilvl piece for each slot and primary stat is king in most cases
I'm not exactly sure what you were trying to do, but if you were trying to like swap which gem is used then there's a section below that where you can replace enchants/gems
but ye your current gear is just what's best for you
Ok, but dps is way lower than other arms warrior with way more crit than me, that’s the thing
basically
you can't really tell what's going to be an upgrade for you based on what stats others are using
for some people crit might be better, for you maybe not
need to look at it as a whole picture
slight upgrade for you to recraft to crit/haste but just gotta do droptimizer
there is a huge misunderstanding in simc cause in the sim in patchwerk execute start at 20% of the target while in the truth the execute can be hitted from 35% of the target
and this is the biggest difference while a sim from arms to fury
then for my situation about stats im checking
guys quick question for ST slayer, if nothing is available except Cleave and Slam and the boss is above 35% HP we use slam right?
Yes
that depends if you have massacre or not
in which case the sim automatically adjusts
to start executing at the proper %
if i have execute at 35 % simm still starting execute at 20
if u have massacre it will start executing at 35%
Noob Question regarding Demolish: All the guides I read say use it with 5 stacks during Colossus. But idk if I'm doing something wrong, but Colossus and Demolish are nowhere near aligned after like the first use. What should I do? I assume use it unless Colossus' CD is like 5s or less?
in 5mins patchwerk it start at 4 mins with execute, and in game, is different, then i do way more dmg target dummy from my self
Morning - Just got back into the game and a fresh 90 (as prot) - wanted to try arms and was just curious how difficult is the rotation to get down? Last time I played Arms in general was in Legion
I would also like to know this
They should be pretty closely aligned if you are hitting cleave and MS asap
but if they dont
you wait for CS to be up before usin demo
why is battlelord so far out of the wya
I wish we could take it as part of our default build no matter what
feels like a waste that it's only taken on colossus and not slayer
it's a good talent for making the spec feel good to play
idk how effective it is numbers wise
i take it anyway so i can better extend Csmash 
so arms now better for m+?
always was
In the upcoming patch notes, it says reap the storm chance to proc increasted to 20%, isn't that what it already is now in live?
Y, only ptr
Slayer better for m+ y?
i think it is now but once that colossus buff happens idk anymore
if you can be shotgunning demolish, i mean its hella busted
i could write a 5000 word rant on this topic from 18s and 17s i did as both
both are good
I team place battlelord early in tree
Nah fam
If thats how we make up st
Shits gonna be wild🤣
3 target madness
so you saying its not gonna be busted?
Not in st
Blizzard cant do msth though
like rightn now colossus aoe is way stonger and overall dmg profile in a dungeon is better than slayer i think
anyone can share talent slayer m+?
Opposite
Slayer deffo has better profile in higher keys
More boss dmg
depends on the dungeon
mmmh i think i most dungeons for more prio dmg slayer way better
And cleave dmg is pretty ok once u getmore time
Wjy
Where does col have advantage exept mass aoe
The bosses with 2 its still dlaher
Add in to 3 slayer still does a lot
colo has more prio dmg
I just started playing arms yesterday in mythics 10-12. Is the rotation in wow head for ST and MT correct? I felt like I was struggling on the boss fights.
If u col
U struggle
Such is life
Also with no skyfury... u deffo feel that a lot
Thanks. I’m not at my pc atm but if I remember correctly wow heads mythics recommend col for mythics.
I will try out slayer
When will people understand ths
Explain why
cuz u can cleave more
stronger funnel
By?
But so far behind dmg on st // prio target
nop
Prio target as slayer gets eps on ot often
whats eps and ot
colo gets 200k heroic strikes
But 12.05 y collosus will be insane funnel
i mean nothing will change
5T 3min sim
we will have the same funnel we have now
sry my mistake i mean ST
More demos = more dmg?
3T 3min
dps to main target = funnel/prio
There we go
2t
unless there is a singular enemy
still colo does more due to cm generation
2T 3min
talents on wowhead good?
idk how often its updated tbh
yes
I’m new to war can you explain the ways we funnel? Like why is cleave funneling
Read Fervor
important to read talents u have 🙂
cleave hitting 3 targets casts slam at 150% effectiveness if you have fervor of battle talent
fob + tierset + colossal might
basically we just built different
ahh right and capstone makes HS slam
sorry for asking
Does slayer gain st dmg from a target in execute to sweep from
yes
Hey guys, do we press cleave on 2 Targets? We would want to sweep MS, no?
And Cleave at 3+ Targets?
i now have a 276 hero maxed weapon, should i go for the crafted 285? would that make a big difference in my dps? or better spend my crests on another piece?
Weapon is good investment in crests, probably the best
weapon is almost always an easy choice but the answer remains putting your character on raidbot and simming the different crafts
fuck me I played thane so much recently that I forget to apply rend now kek
I'm going crzy, trying to queue. Why the fck people take fury instead of arms like wtf
You're pugging as DPS. There's like 50+ applicants per key
well many reasons, fury deals more single target damage, comparable aoe
and it's almost immortal
like I invited a few arms warrior and they almost always die to some dumb shit, not saying fury players are better
but they just don't die
that was a lie, I didn't invite the arms warrior, I just ended up in a group with them
lying is bad
Nice I knew slayer wasn't that far behind on the prio/funnel dmg. Good to know
yes send weap
theres no downside
the mistake was maxxing a hero weap
Let's see it and pin it

4500 words on slayer and 500 words on ravager
slayer is good numbers wise in m+ i just hate how it plays

It's just the RNG isn't it?
+1 slayer feel being bad
You by no means aren't both specs are doing good in keys. You can very much play either of them
its just mentally draining idk how else to put it
I'm fine with rng cuz there's always an up side. Not fine with dealing with all the Colo downsides
Yeah, it's been okay playing slayer. Managed to time +17 Maisara caverns with it but seeing how much behind it actually is.
Might try Slayer a few more keys again
but key lvl parses been absolute dogshit so maybe slayer is the reason 😄
nah both are good colo is just all dmg into aoe while slayer is more balanced
still does very good aoe
It's behind in Sims in reality it's not that behind at all
im just charging on cd
Slarms the Blademaster wannabe 
charge weaving yucckk
i dont mind charge weaving
is dreadnaught bugged or that dmg is shown with overpowered ?
i mind never being above 40 rage
Gonna charge weave less on slayer than you would Colo xD
idk as colo i always do 55-60k
Might genuinely be a shaman diff because I rarely ever rage starve in ST as slayer
Shown with OP pretty sure. Another reason Blizzard's damage tracker is stinky
Even doing execute rota
shaman is a massive difference
or might be bugged who knows :'3
it is a shaman diff
exe phase is 1k dps difference
compared to non exe
for me without skyfury
Dreadnaught damage is baked into Overpower
simply due to the massive rage starving
sim rage on exe patchwerk is on 23 rage mean
Gotta find yourself a blue boy
to fix rage generation, I had a genius idea
make mages go oom if they don't have a druid in their key
blacklisting arms rage gane from windfury
Its just blizz damage meter being stinky.
I am begging pls T-T
how long would it take blizzard to fix mage's gameplay if they weren't allowed to play without a druid in their group
whats the slayer build ill try it in pit right now
i'm afraid you are right 🙁 but would you still craft it now?
@river ridge @hushed pine thanks guys ! . #blizzard stinky meters
Just use the one on wowhead
i take stance mastery but dont have to
its dps neutral
but u lose javelineer
Javelineer my beloved ♥️
MS is whatever for slayer
Bigsmile
nothing else to drop
im afraid of simming no barbaric
powerful stats
As slayer dropping barbaric might not be that bad considering a lot of the aoe is from reap not cleave itself
It's why you could probably drop ME for something else like powerful
what are the bis trinkets for arms m+?
guys does stance mastery work only with direct attacks? or also dots?
ja cleave
yes yes
i mean thing is
if u craft
u spend Mythic crests. but if u get a weap in vault later u get the free crests
so maximum waste is like 40 mythic crests i think for now
which isnt to bad VS gettin myth track weapon tbh
Another Question what enchant is our best on ringies ?:D
How are people playing arms in high keys? My arms sims are way worse than thane fury sims, no matter the target count
cuz keys arent 1 to 1 with sims
arms has like 90% capacity cooldowns every 20-30 seconds
Check Collosus arms
fury is like every 50 seconds
understandable, yet the sims shouldn't be 30% worse as in my case no?
idk depends what youre simming
Using critcakes arms slayer / colossus builds
probably not tho
1-5-10 target sims
if ur also way more statted into fury then arms stats might tip needle in other way
arms is pretty heavy into crit haste and if u are like 1k mastery its prolly not ideal
can you post links here?
not random shit most of the time xd
This is what you get as top DPS
yea would try simming as colossus
@latent moss
not sure slayer very epic
not bad
for arms
Slayer is pretty epic
could have done more except i wasnt playing around sd reap procs on pull 1
for arms
was used to colo lmao
but yea ngl i dont think i see an iota of crit on your gear
so probably pretty decent portion as to why
hm
like 3 pieces have crit on it
Also 4p is pretty good for arms ngl
yea
dude
yeah I cant lie
i ripped like 200k 3rd boss magister 10
I like the boss damage
slayer boss damage is actually pretty cracked
I had funnel on first two bosses pit also
made life real good
cant be that far idt
or 
colo rips 300k there
who likes colo
what are arms stat weights?
50-60k is acceptable.. have you seen pug dps on bosses? lmao
but u wont pull that in pugs, because no wft
and tank does janky shit
but it does not matter in minikeys ive plyed so far rly
just find a death knight friend to do single target damage for you
and grab trashes on the boss if the tank refuses to
This is a ws run is my priority wrong?
just a 10 but i feel like im doing really low dmg
my gear currently
still on fury gear
well enchant wise
how the hell do you use execute without going bankrupting your rage
bruh
Can slayer arms work on Paladins mythic?
Our 4 set helps enable one of the best dmg profiles. Funnel
It can but Colussus does more so I’d recommend Colossus for it
Only during Ravager.
Arm’s 2 target rotation is just your Single Target + sweeping strikes active
It depends on how your tank is pulling and how/when you’re using cooldowns. If you had logs it would be easier to give feedback on things like your rotation. Your breakdown is in roughly the right order, but I can’t tell if you’re capitalizing on your buffs correctly at a glance
wait i try to find a log
Depends on the context (boss fight? Colossus? Slayer?) but just follow the WoWhead guide’s execute rotation.
You often want to prioritize OP if you’re under 90 rage and you don’t have 2x EP for your Mortal Strike yet
(And basically never use Execute in Colussus AoE)
ok sadly i dont have a log
can u tell me which buffs are the most important ?
It’s all good! Do one for a future run and toss it in #1347646810457636974 🙂
im using 10 stacks of collosal might for demolish
That's part of why I was asking the slayer question lol. Feels bad executing as col on paladins lol
It’s mostly utilizing Crushing Combo correctly, then always saving your other major CDs to use with CS
yeah im lining them up basically
I mean,… you do and don’t cleave still trucks on low hp 2-3 target
what about using sweeping strikes before pull?
You can audit mythic logs and see how often they’re casting execute
yea that's what I'm looking at now. Appreciate the answers!
No need, your CS gives you SS so you munch the stacks if you pre-cast it. Usually best to save SS to fill gaps between your CS casts
Of course!! Happy to help
i thought so too but i see people like biz or gucci pre casting it into a pull
prob cuz of ms or rend
Rend is already AoE 🙂
They reworked it this expansion, no worries!
yeah basically im using it to refresh but i feel like im doing less dmg than i schould and i dont know if its a mechanical error from me gear or tank issue
I gotta step away for things, but this chat is usually pretty helpful and folks can point you in the right direction 🥰
ye ty
so I feel like I am doing criminally illegally low single target in colossus M+ build. is that normal?
I know it's always been bad but like it's really bad
Windfury good
Scrolling thru my youtube and this guy is recommended I wonder where I've seen them
love that the ST buffs really seemed to help 
@minor gust Thoughts on the ME point in CT to help with rage?
I guess 10% is almost nothing
I haven't really played with CT also don't see the need. No point in going CT if you aren't playing massacre
Execute from 20% - 0 ain't a lot of time spent to go into more execute stuff. Solve rage issues by playing with a shaman
@dire hinge spherical
and at 3 collat!!
why is the opener for arms in wowhead not showing the slayer version
Cuz Archi didn't account for slayer being good
do u use BS before spamming cleave or after
I gotta remake it for the new archon bullshit they launched (I heard it’s worse)
All it is rend > ava/CS > cleave X4 > SD( if not max ID) BS
its dogwater, I used the beta and zZz
Could you also make a "how to sim topgear" guide since i feel that gets asked more here nowdays
People, understandably, keep leaving comments asking how to use it, and I’m like “I don’t know I refuse to upgrade” haha
thanks
so i was doing smthing wrong
do u get a buff from pressing cleave first ?
no
Hi. Which heros should i run for M+ and raiding?
Just slightly more dmg to cleave over BS
oke
Yeah I had one drafted up, I should finish it
It’s your Preference for M+
For raid it changes per-boss. You can open WarcraftLogs and filter to Arms Warriors, then pick each boss indidivually to see what people are running for each
Thanks. I ask because wowhead gave me bad info for fury.
The WoWhead guides are meant for season launch and there’s been like 15 buffs and nerfs since then
Warcraft logs give you most recent info?
Yeah WarcraftLogs is evergreen
It’s based on a 24 hour cycle, so it’s always up to date with what people are currently doing
Awesome. Thank you for the help
One more question. Any guidance on macros? I
I macro'd recklessness and avatar with fury
0 macros
does the colossus cdr buff thing mean u get 20 seconds of cdr if a swept mortal strike crits both times
yeah
Surely you slam an exhil blows if that talent still exists
dont exist
sad
dafuq this designs only for 3+ targets fight 
12.05 demolish is like just get 10 stacks and bam 1 SS MS and it's off cd
Read it again the 3+ is only for cleave you goof
it's still really weird how blizzard was like "we want arms to be the best at 2 target" and then put a bunch of talents in that make it way better at 3 target than 2 target
can sweeping strikes get another line that increase ST dmg 
I mean arms still is very good at 2T. The 3 target stuff is to try and keep cleave from being even more degenerate than it already is
guys will any body already upgrade tirr lists on wow head? i am ashamed of playing arms while it is at bottom
tier lists are a big meme
mb if this info is available anywhere, but how big is our tier set in m+? for colossus
Realistically, how many ravagers do line up with avatar in a key? Or do u hold it most od the time?
It's Ms OR 3 tar
You line ravagers up with your cs
if avatar is there its just a bonus
you dont like red whirlwind? 
Too bad it's Iconic!
the sim shows 7 casts over 5 minutes
thats not even maintaining it
its just goofy
atleast in aoe you use it
for the rage gen
They just refuse to give rend any real interactions with the kit for both arms and fury
Bring taste for blood back for arms for more op procd
should just have one bleed instead of two and it should be passive
and yeah sure rend proccing resets sounds cool
And tie it to all attacks applying it
mortal strike applys your one big bleed (rend) and mastery makes your execute amp it, sudden death procs double the amp
and make every attack stack it to do more dmg and if you ever let it drop you have to start from scratch losing 5% of total dmg throughout the fight
this is warrior design at its finest
Can it be called deep rend?
We do indeed like going back in circles
its gonna be called rendnaut
Good choice, -60% damage as punishment
when would I want to use puzzle box in a pack in m+? just right after charge?
Blizzard trying so hard to make wow into some kind of esport
how do nerfs mean they are trying to make it an esport
idk some people will use anything mildly related to try push their narrative
Dunno why this proves that
But like
You could've used a million other things to prove this
Like the fact that the MDI exists
do we tab to apply rend in aoe now or is it not important in aoe?
Rend is aoe
so thunderclap is still taken for mplus then i assume
We do not take Tclap because rend itself applies itself in an aoe
well ill be damned
i didnt notice it at all till u just said that 😛
It's okay, it's kinda hard to miss
But ye rend is fully aoe now, no extra keybinds required
mdi ?
its the esport competition on tournament servers
Every season for the last 3 xpack they've overbuffed bosses to make it last at least 2 weeks
And that makes wow an esport?
and its actually backed by blizz not like the RWF
Because the RWF is overtuned to fuck to give this sweaty degens a challenge?
because if a raid gets cleared in 1 day all the people not raiding mythic are gonna think its too easy
They buffed lura hp by 50% before opening March
I mean also march is just blizzard being actually high as shit with tuning
That fight looks like a genuine nightmare
What tuning ? they dont test anything
the ilvl increase on birb was the tell that they panicked and overbuffed things
cause appearently they didnt know mythic splits would be a thing
you are seeing the real testing right now in RWF
literally noone was
Not even the RWF teams were expecting alleria to just crumble like that
Tbh I miss when the rwf was a bit more lowkey
but why
its fun 2nd monitor entertainment
i remember when the last legion raid died in 1 week and everyone said it was too easy when there wasnt even a video of the lat mythic boss
good times
To be fair EN fell in like what 3 days
idk about the drama i just like that the information on bosses and strategies are public now
That was even more fucked
Okay thats true
If your mythic raiding the race must be a great way to get peaks into what youre gonna be doing
especially if your not a top 200 guild
Wait what the hell
emerald nightmare was not a real raid
God damn that was faster then I thought
Or like when all the wrath raids were also cleared in 24 hours
back then there wasnt a reason to make the race last longer
now it gives blizz more exposure
so they are incentiviced to make it longer
can ToM save arms?
They make it longer just to appease the babies who don't even raid who cry it's too easy and call it a joke
Avg mythic guild will still take months to prog
we hate tom he is banned now
why does rend drop out of the priority during execute?
All my homies hate ToM
Read bloodletting
MS applies it with a talent below 35%

As warrior mains should be
haven't spec'd arms yet this expansion just setting it up
OH yeah also
Evreyone massively overblew how bad leveling as arms is
This shit is smoothe as fuck compared to rogue and dk
Both of those were kinda miserable
arms leveling might be better cause MS hits hard without needing to be enraged
Yeah ms dosent need help you just do damage
same reason arms is better for open world content cause you can basically oneshot things with MS
And you can pull big if you want with demo
Holy fuck I forgot what it was like to play a normal spec
you playing DK ?
i only like 2h frost cause its feels like what arms should be
I like KMs design
I hate the damage profile
Like legit
It just feels so bad doing absoutlely nothing outside of cds
Or having the survability of a wet tissue paper on rogue
Before probably so you are safe
You would want to line up all your CDs and then puzzle and send it all
Is arms 2 target just the same priority as single target but with sweeping strikes?
If you don't have cleave and collat talented yes its the same
DK looks fun. Numbers arent great of frost but it got a nice glow up visually
Ive always liked the 2h oblit build that didnt bother with breath
If you dont mind the profile i think its aight
And breath dosent exist anymore
Because its just sustained by your basic rota
I understand they streamlined things a lot. My buddy tells me they overpruned it
The hits never felt like hits. Just icy noises and squishy sounds
Im just not a fan of classes that have nothing outside of cds
Granted for frost thats partly tuning
Thats most all classes
Eh
Classes like arms or outlaw feel reasonable without cds
Fury too, ret last i played it
Frost always had a bunch of short cooldowns that kinda overlapped. Not sure what they are like now
Frost is basically
Strong 45 second and even better minute and a half
But nothing outside of that
Udk is great damage evrey minute and a half
I was levelling my rogue yesterday trying out assassination. That spec is pretty chill but it feels like they pretty much rely on spreading dots for aoe and all their cooldowns are single target focused
Which is weeeeird
I....dont like dot specs
So I never tried assa
Sub is nice for turning my brain off
I remember the 7m cooldown army of the dead cd with aug support that destroyed the meters
It might have been 10
They had an enormous cooldown that was extremely powerful
It didnt need it to pump but they just had it anyways
Im a weirdo who likes flatter profiles
Not like
....arms df s3 flat
But not stupid spikey like dk is.
Try boomie
Its pretty flat
Or its more of a curve up and curve down sorta thing
Might be the one caster i play
we mostly take slayer in raid and collo in m+ right
Its very simple and the spec is very much about resource management
Yes but slayer is good in m+ too
You dot things, pool to about 75% astral power, activate eclipse and dump
Dump 3 spenders to get starlord haste buff to max then build and spend maintaining 75% astral power so you can dump in your next eclipse
Its less flat and more like a rolling wave
Oh it is also good now?
Is it more about preference or there is one with clear advantage?
Colossus has more burst i think but slayer has a flatter profile. In the end, they have about the same dungeon dps
slayer prob better for the 360 aoe if u arent good at aiming frontals
wait its actually more even? lol
Frontal still important with slayer
@minor gust Alright I'm sold, slayer M+ is really good
and I guess slayer does a bit better on singlet
i thought slayer was capped at 5/reduced damage beyond 5 or 8 or smth no?
Reap procs are important to aim well
but colossus isnt
Reap the storm is a massive part of your damage as slayer
isnt it just aoe around u? is it a frontal cone
isnt reap reduced beyond 8 or is it 5
Pretty sure its a cone
weird, the animation is like a ww attack
idk but i thought it did have a reduction so i thought colo would be better in keys
its 8 just checked
Another one converted
Keep em coming boys praise me more grow my power until my name becomes yellow
wowhead M+ but swapped into longer shout duration and stance mastery
also play around with powerful momentum in some dungeons
Hopefully they dont leave the spec in the dust after 12.0.5
are we like useless without shammies tho
Yeah thats my take too
reap procs carry the aoe big time
It be what it be
itll be dogshit without that
Nah it's fine Fishy was doing the Sims yesterday. Slayer is big chillin
Only loses like 1.1% ST for the loss of reap
frozen do u take slayer into everything in m+ and raid?
Slam deep wounds and BS buff carries hard
Thats good

Bs buff still going through then?
BTW question
I'll play Colo in raid if it's good on a boss but M+ really just playing slayer mostly because I'm tired of Colo in keys played it all last expansion cuz slayer was ass
Man it gets hard to keep track of all the changes. Wish we could see the whole shabang consolidated with all changes
Now it's not ass
Does the ms buff from demo feel a bit short to anyone rlse?
Its probably just open world being open world
Any reason why this guy plays slayer build in m+? Is it better?
Looks like Arms is finally good in M+, and I'm very happy that Slayer Arms is a good option! Much prefer Slayer over Colossus. As for which one is stronger? Probably just depends on whether you need more ST or more AoE. Group and dungeon dependent, probably.
Join my Discord...
Never left
xD
Ok so slayer is better then? Is that what I should learn with then?
Both good
Both are good in keys play what's more fun to you
Whats better Im a min maxer lol my main is 3700 last season
oh i see
does it really just come down to preference or is there a damage difference
lmao everyone asking the same question with the propagana spread

Has anyone ran the sims or the numbers?
Depends what you want and if you do keys mostly pugging or premade group keys. Colo will net a higher overall and benefits from funnel/prio more
Colossus is better if the fight has 2 or more targets
Both specs are very good right now
Pure single target in m+ builds how far ahead is slayer
somewhere between 6-10
%
but from earlier
Perfect thats what I needed
I mean 6-10% more in single target is not worth the sacrifice of the dmg you gonna lose in 2t or above it seems
can do omega aoe with colo
omege aoe 0_o
lol
colo is harder to play tho right? i think i read someone say that in here yesterday
Omegalul aoe
demolish goes dummy
Reality ends up playing differently than sims
It's why slayer feels just as good when just looking at Sims makes you think otherwise
Yeah
Colo is more measured where slayer has a lot more procs
Slayer ST and AOE lives and dies with your SD procs
Colossus just has 90% of its damage for each pack/boss
i can see a flatter dmg profile being better in pugs
but if tank pulls mobs into boss for funnel....
regardless of what happened previously
They are both fun and good in dungeon. I swap back and forth between them all the time
wait how i thought colo was more spiky and slayer was more flat how does colo have dmg for each pack
are the cds that short
yeah
Cleave CS demo every 30 sec
You have cs and avatar which get reduced by rage spent. Whenever ravager is up your basic combo gets supercharged
yeah avatar is down to 50'ish seconds now
Slayer also has cs and avatar, but you are also slamming SD procs to hit things in a cone and reduce bladestorm cd
360 not a cone
slayer u gotta have good prio rotation mgmt
I tried it yesterday in a dungeon and my dps was a little less but also was fucking up
you make the difference in ST on bosses especially
mad fun spec
I like Clarms for high keys because you're tankier
the prio is always sudden death right
clarms
Clarms and Slarms
lol
When both are good play what's more fun to you. More you get into something the better you will play
I love that
real
colo
Colo could mean prot tho

Clarms and Slarms
then u belong in prot
Clarms and Slarms is smooth tho
sarms are like steroids lul
was it the march 31 changes that made arms finally good
You guys able to do any aoe Sims yet for 12.05? Ik Fishy was doing ST yesterday
It was doing good dungeon dps after the aura buff
Its single target is where it is struggling
yes-ish
its looking horrible for fury
Good...
Slarms ends up losing around 6%? due to mortal wounds change to slam
6% aoe?
ST
is the M+ Slayer Arms build the recommended one now?
Hurm
Your healers will thank you for playing Colossus in keys
lol why
? Fishy was saying it was only a 1.1% loss in ST unless things changed between then and now
oh i see
Slayer is squishier
5% more hp
and 5% dr?
it’s one of the hero talents mountain of muscles and scars
not on the game rn
is slayer arms good in raid?
and veteran vitality too
m+ is quite nice
that was quite early on in the season then
Also demolish itself gives dr too
yea colo is tanky boi
Not just during the cast but on any targets you hit with it
colo arms way too hard to me
question for ignore pain, the increase is each subsequent use what does that mean
so from 41k it goes to 50k etc
each time in combat?
You get Frontal Fatigue™ is the downside to Clarms
what does frontal fatigue mean ur gay??
Both are good play what's more fun
yea
why? havent tried it yet lol
Lining up CD's and positioning are the hardest parts about Clarms
which one has less buttons to press ?
Slayers difficulty is more about button prio
just start with slayer arms first
colo is easier for me in my opinion
Slayer is both much easier and less buttons
you just have two windows for colo arms, a CS into demo every 30/40 seconds
oh nice
and then every minute or so u have a full send with ravager, avatar and then cs and demolish
spamming cleave
when do we spend the heroic slams ?
whenever they are up
afaik they take prio because they increase all ur damage by 3% ignore armor
Sweeping Strikes and Rend, these are real disaster to me
u just apply rend before every pack
this is also my issue I forget to rend
after it expires but you need to move it to #1 spot on ur cd manager
and then in cd manager set an audio alert for when SS expires
i'd like rend to become whole passive at this point, applying it with cleav, ww or tc, it feels odd to click it
so whenever my ss is removed it makes a guitar note so I’m psychological pavlov the dog training myself
SS auido alert has bug i think
