both specs are doing good and its a case by case basis. I recommend just playing whats fun to you. No need to fixate on whats looking better.

rare kite
#

that is true. for now...

minor gust
#

until the time comes

smoky kayak
#

a lot of it is based on circumstance

#

shoutout frozenbozo, convinced me to slarms and never looked back

#

Firm handshakes all around

quiet bramble
#

Should i be BS instead of cleave during CS window?

shut token
#

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

coral flame
#

Wait we use Bladestorm not Ravager? I was following Wowhead guide

delicate obsidian
#

Bladestorm for SL, Ravager Colo

quiet bramble
coral flame
#

so do we go SL in keys or Colossus

delicate obsidian
#

either or

#

colo is big time aoe, wet noodle boss dmg, SL is good aoe, better boss dmg

minor gust
delicate obsidian
#

SL is more pug friendly imo, cause colo you hoping your tank doesnt just yoink ur mobs out of your demos half the time

coral flame
#

for M+

smoky kayak
#

same place as every other build

delicate obsidian
#

there is on wowhead

coral flame
#

Like I did not even know

#

@minor gust what do you use mostly?

minor gust
#

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.

coral flame
#

I see, ty

minor gust
#

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.

#

Tried it and loved it xeos

delicate obsidian
#

slarm is nice

#

just feels good

#

i dont have a fixed group so, pugging with demo was just hoping tanks gigapulled packs

rare kite
coral flame
#

oh I think I like Slayer I'll try it out for sure

quiet bramble
#

Don’t think, try and see it for urself okayge

delicate obsidian
#

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

frail helm
#

how would you rank slarm vs col and thane dmg in packs?

rare kite
#

col>slayer>thane

minor gust
frail helm
#

far out

#

coz thane is fkn pumping packs

rare kite
#

then for st thane>slayer>>col

hushed pine
#

Why are some people saying Slayer is bad

#

Is it because of the MfE change?

minor gust
#

I haven't seen anyone say that at all this week

hushed pine
#

That's what I'm thinking, like, what's wrong with it

minor gust
#

Nothing?

#

BS lasts 20 years and RNG can be funny but uh slayer has pretty chill gameplay.

reef prairie
#

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?

minor gust
reef prairie
#

im personally just not a fan of arms in single target in general

nova marsh
#

Im just not a fan of colos st

crude rapids
#

Time to get some crit haste gear and have a rip at arms in raid

smoky kayak
#

pull trash onto bosses, never ST Smartge

crude rapids
#

Archi what is your opinion on best spec per boss? Mythic ofc

smoky kayak
crude rapids
#

Ok probs should of said warrior specs 😅

smoky kayak
coral flame
#

Is this breakdown fine for M+?

slow saddle
#

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%

wooden tide
#

Does arms demo play generally the same as TWW

dense sphinx
#

you mean colossus

quiet bramble
#

Demo warlock? gladge

smoky kayak
#

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

wooden tide
#

Demo= Demolish

dense sphinx
#

pretty much

dense sphinx
slow saddle
#

Also if we were tuned at just ret st

#

Arms and fury would fuuuuck, coz raid seems 2 carry us

icy atlas
#

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

dense sphinx
#

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

tidal igloo
#

do u hold demolish if u dont have 5 stacks when u hit collosus for ur next cs?

wind hatch
#

So just send it before cs ends even if you can't reach 5 somehow

balmy kindle
#

finally got back to the game, is there any specifics on heroic strike usage ? wowhead doesnt seem to indicate anything in the rotation part

tidal igloo
balmy kindle

#

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?

thanks! peepoHappy I‘m lazy and just use AtrocityUI with a few personal tweaks. So I can‘t share that sadly, sorry

#

how is arms doing nowadays in m+ compared to fury since the recent buffs? are they both equal in terms of overal dps?

halcyon valve
#

Arms owns Armsowns

lunar acorn
#

Is söayer a viable options now in keys

rough pewter
#

yes

lunar acorn
#

Great do you recommend a specific build or are the m+ talents for slayer from wowhead guide already the one everyone is using ?

thick kelp
#

wowhead one is the one

lunar acorn
#

cool

lime owl
#

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 😄

cobalt lodge
#

currently leveling a druid alt. what is faster to level now, timewalking queues as healer or delves?

night fern
#

tw I think

cobalt lodge
#

think so too

boreal remnant
lime owl
#

thats the feeling i'm also having

frail helm
#

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

sharp wyvern
#

what key levels are you doing

frail helm
#

also the boss dmg is abysmal

sharp wyvern
#

on slayer ?

frail helm
#

those keys were 12

boreal remnant
#

probably some things to fix rotationally

#

would need to see a log to confirm

wooden lava
#

whoever is responsible for arms' colossus ST damage should be investigated

sharp wyvern
#

are 12 keys also at he point where things die too fast at this point ?

wooden lava
#

this is the WORST rotation ever

#

i want to claw my eyes out

sharp wyvern
#

honestly the pure ST colossus build is kinda fun

#

the aoe one where you cleave inside of rav sucks tho

frail helm
#

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

boreal remnant
weak wave
#

lol what?

earnest imp
#

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

drowsy fiber
#

Arms rotation fine? Buddy dont think so

wooden lava
#

not having shaman, being rage starved, and having to do colossus single target rotation

#

idk man

#

doing literal tank dmg lmfao

earnest imp
#

go slayer then

lime owl
#

dont find slayer that much better in single target and is worse in aoe

#

but again, could be all me doing it wrong 😄

leaden coral
#

how can i simm the best way for arms ? for execute reasons ?

cobalt lodge
#

Slayer is also rage starved. I often have to charge weave during execute phase

brisk frigate
#

can someone explain why the most common stats for crafting two-hand weapon is haste/mastery?

#

we benefit from haste > crit > mastery right?

lime owl
#

on that topic i also have a question, do we have diminishing returns on crit/haste? a point were we better go mastery instead?

stone scaffold
brisk frigate
#

so it's just a safe option to go haste/mastery so that you can change spec and benefit in both cases?

leaden coral
#

i simm a shit in confront of fury with best gear, and set my items for haste crit there is no improvements

boreal remnant
agile jewel
#

ong it feels like arms is slapping in m+

leaden coral
#

y i know but there isnt an entire fight

agile jewel
#

im even doing well in ST

leaden coral
#

and simc told me that if i set my ch on crit haste deals lower dmg then hast mastery

boreal remnant
#

so what exactly is the question

#

if your sim is telling you haste mast is better then listen to your sim

leaden coral
#

nah cause i have all haste mastery gear, and all player shift into crit for arms

boreal remnant
#

could you link your sim?

leaden coral
#

just my sim doesnt work well

#

maybe idk how to set well this thing

boreal remnant
#

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

leaden coral
#

Ok, but dps is way lower than other arms warrior with way more crit than me, that’s the thing

thick kelp
#

ok

#

go sim droptimizers

#

and see what piecs r upgrades

boreal remnant
#

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

leaden coral
#

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

abstract sphinx
#

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?

sand totem
#

Yes

thick kelp
#

in which case the sim automatically adjusts

#

to start executing at the proper %

leaden coral
#

if i have execute at 35 % simm still starting execute at 20

thick kelp
#

if u have massacre it will start executing at 35%

lucid bough
#

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?

leaden coral

#

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

olive topaz
thick kelp
#

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

wooden lava
#

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

latent moss
#

same

#

no blord just aint it

wooden lava
#

it's a good talent for making the spec feel good to play

#

idk how effective it is numbers wise

sand totem
#

i take it anyway so i can better extend Csmash okayge

wooden lava
#

i'm surprised it's not taken

#

i'd imagine it has good synergy w/ our tier

stuck yacht
#

so arms now better for m+?

thick kelp
#

always was

stoic siren
#

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?

stuck yacht
#

Slayer better for m+ y?

stoic siren
#

i think it is now but once that colossus buff happens idk anymore

#

if you can be shotgunning demolish, i mean its hella busted

latent moss
#

i could write a 5000 word rant on this topic from 18s and 17s i did as both

#

both are good

wooden lava

colossus st rotation in an 18

3-5 mins of straight ASS

If thats how we make up st

#

3 target madness

stoic siren
#

so you saying its not gonna be busted?

slow saddle
#

Not in st

stoic siren
#

ah yea

#

but the aoe component is already pretty strong

slow saddle
#

Blizzard cant do msth though

stoic siren
#

like rightn now colossus aoe is way stonger and overall dmg profile in a dungeon is better than slayer i think

stuck yacht
#

anyone can share talent slayer m+?

slow saddle
#

Slayer deffo has better profile in higher keys

#

More boss dmg

stoic siren
#

depends on the dungeon

still fox
stoic siren
#

any dungeon with multi target bosses

#

i doubt it

slow saddle
#

And cleave dmg is pretty ok once u getmore time

slow saddle
#

Where does col have advantage exept mass aoe

#

The bosses with 2 its still dlaher

#

Add in to 3 slayer still does a lot

latent moss
delicate swallow
#

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.

slow saddle
#

If u col

#

U struggle

#

Such is life

#

Also with no skyfury... u deffo feel that a lot

delicate swallow
#

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

thick kelp
slow saddle
thick kelp
#

cuz u can cleave more

latent moss
slow saddle
#

By?

latent moss
#

way more cm generation = more demolish

#

no rage issues ever if there are 3 targets

slow saddle
#

But so far behind dmg on st // prio target

thick kelp
#

nop

latent moss
#

st is very different from prio target

#

slayer only wins at st

slow saddle
#

Prio target as slayer gets eps on ot often

stoic siren
#

whats eps and ot

latent moss
slow saddle
#

But 12.05 y collosus will be insane funnel

latent moss
#

i mean nothing will change

thick kelp
#

5T 3min sim

latent moss
#

we will have the same funnel we have now

still fox
slow saddle
thick kelp
#

3T 3min

latent moss
#

ye but the way the funnel works

#

is the same

#

u will funnel more in numbers ye

thick kelp
#

dps to main target = funnel/prio

slow saddle
thick kelp
#

8T 2min

#

Colo just does more

slow saddle
#

2t

thick kelp
#

unless there is a singular enemy

latent moss
#

still colo does more due to cm generation

thick kelp
#

2T 3min

slow saddle
#

To mt

#

But y slayer got cucked by the dreadnaught nerf

#

Was fair but still sad

stuck yacht
#

talents on wowhead good?

stoic siren
#

idk how often its updated tbh

thick kelp
tropic tiger
slow saddle

important to read talents u have 🙂

Does slayer gain st dmg from a target in execute to sweep from

thick kelp
#

yes

wild plover
#

Hey guys, do we press cleave on 2 Targets? We would want to sweep MS, no?

#

And Cleave at 3+ Targets?

slow saddle
#

BUT this way now u remember it 🙂

lime owl
#

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?

granite coral
#

Weapon is good investment in crests, probably the best

flat willow
#

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

rancid robin
#

I'm going crzy, trying to queue. Why the fck people take fury instead of arms like wtf

river ridge
#

You're pugging as DPS. There's like 50+ applicants per key

rancid robin
#

Nah that's not the problem

#

why the fck TAKING A FURY

flat willow
#

well many reasons, fury deals more single target damage, comparable aoe

#

and it's almost immortal

thick kelp
#

"comparable aoe"

#

lol

flat willow
#

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

I'm fine with rng cuz there's always an up side. Not fine with dealing with all the Colo downsides

Skyreach 6 as Slayer

Yeah, it's been okay playing slayer. Managed to time +17 Maisara caverns with it but seeing how much behind it actually is.

hushed pine
#

Might try Slayer a few more keys again

crisp mesa
#

but key lvl parses been absolute dogshit so maybe slayer is the reason 😄

latent moss

nah both are good colo is just all dmg into aoe while slayer is more balanced

#

still does very good aoe

i dont mind the aoe i mind how awful st feels

very surprised at the drop of crushig force

for 3% crit dam

its like

#

a bit more dps in aoe

#

bit less in st

minor gust
#

MS is whatever for slayer

latent moss
#

last time i simmed as colo

#

should play stance mastery always ngl

#

its so broken

minor gust
#

Bigsmile

latent moss
#

im afraid of simming no barbaric

#

powerful stats

minor gust
#

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

cedar cape
#

what are the bis trinkets for arms m+?

kindred breach
#

guys does stance mastery work only with direct attacks? or also dots?

reef glade
#

ja cleave

slow saddle
#

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

livid hull
#

How are people playing arms in high keys? My arms sims are way worse than thane fury sims, no matter the target count

reef glade
#

cuz keys arent 1 to 1 with sims

slow saddle
#

ehm

#

also

reef glade
#

arms has like 90% capacity cooldowns every 20-30 seconds

slow saddle
#

Check Collosus arms

reef glade
#

fury is like every 50 seconds

slow saddle
#

5t 1m

#

c who slaps more 😄

#

add to 10 targets im pretty certain col destroys thane 🙂

livid hull
reef glade
#

idk depends what youre simming

livid hull
#

Using critcakes arms slayer / colossus builds

reef glade
#

probably not tho

livid hull
#

1-5-10 target sims

slow saddle
#

i mean im super confused as to what u sim as well ?

#

theres no way

#

show em

reef glade
#

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

livid hull
#

can you post links here?

reef glade
#

yea

#

of sims at least is fine

reef glade
#

not random shit most of the time xd

hushed pine
#

This is what you get as top DPS

yea would try simming as colossus

not sure slayer very epic

Slayer is pretty epic

for arms

flat willow

every time I see a blood dk I start sweating

and i'm not even the healer

o yea arms i think also has a lot more significant 4set

#

than fury

flat willow
#

just seeing their health going to 10% every 5 seconds

reef glade
#

but yea ngl i dont think i see an iota of crit on your gear

#

so probably pretty decent portion as to why

livid hull
#

hm

reef glade
#

like 3 pieces have crit on it

slow saddle
#

Also 4p is pretty good for arms ngl

reef glade
#

yea

slow saddle

its decent for fury

but a lot less so

50-60k is acceptable.. have you seen pug dps on bosses? lmao

slow saddle
#

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

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

yeah im lining them up basically

dire hinge

#

what about using sweeping strikes before pull?

dire hinge
blissful bane
dire hinge
#

Of course!! Happy to help

left shard
#

i thought so too but i see people like biz or gucci pre casting it into a pull

#

prob cuz of ms or rend

dire hinge
#

Rend is already AoE 🙂

left shard
#

oh

#

mb

dire hinge
#

They reworked it this expansion, no worries!

left shard
#

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

dire hinge
#

I gotta step away for things, but this chat is usually pretty helpful and folks can point you in the right direction 🥰

left shard
#

ye ty

nimble yoke
#

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

slow saddle
#

Yes

#

Esp if a bit of bad rng

#
  • no shaman
nimble yoke
#

why is shaman relevant?

#

for skyfury?

hushed topaz
#

Windfury good

Scrolling thru my youtube and this guy is recommended I wonder where I've seen them

@minor gust Thoughts on the ME point in CT to help with rage?

#

I guess 10% is almost nothing

minor gust
#

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

wintry scroll
#

why is the opener for arms in wowhead not showing the slayer version

minor gust
#

Cuz Archi didn't account for slayer being good

wintry scroll
#

do u use BS before spamming cleave or after

dire hinge
minor gust
thick kelp
#

Could you also make a "how to sim topgear" guide since i feel that gets asked more here nowdays

dire hinge
#

People, understandably, keep leaving comments asking how to use it, and I’m like “I don’t know I refuse to upgrade” haha

wintry scroll
#

so i was doing smthing wrong

#

do u get a buff from pressing cleave first ?

thick kelp
#

no

abstract lion
#

Hi. Which heros should i run for M+ and raiding?

thick kelp
#

you just want it on cd

#

before you bs

minor gust
wintry scroll
#

oke

dire hinge
dire hinge
abstract lion
#

Thanks. I ask because wowhead gave me bad info for fury.

dire hinge
#

The WoWhead guides are meant for season launch and there’s been like 15 buffs and nerfs since then

abstract lion
#

Warcraft logs give you most recent info?

dire hinge
#

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

abstract lion
#

Awesome. Thank you for the help

#

One more question. Any guidance on macros? I

#

I macro'd recklessness and avatar with fury

thick kelp
#

0 macros

reef glade
#

does the colossus cdr buff thing mean u get 20 seconds of cdr if a swept mortal strike crits both times

thick kelp
#

yeah

reef glade
#

Surely you slam an exhil blows if that talent still exists

thick kelp
#

dont exist

reef glade
#

sad

quiet bramble
#

dafuq this designs only for 3+ targets fight deadge

minor gust
minor gust
quiet bramble
#

oh wait

#

aight forgot about MS keks

#

why did i only look at cleave

remote talon
#

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

quiet bramble
#

can sweeping strikes get another line that increase ST dmg deadge

minor gust
rare burrow
#

guys will any body already upgrade tirr lists on wow head? i am ashamed of playing arms while it is at bottom

spring vale
#

tier lists are a big meme

rare burrow
#

it is not

#

u will never get invited as arms in high keys

nimble yoke
#

mb if this info is available anywhere, but how big is our tier set in m+? for colossus

elfin kindle
#

Realistically, how many ravagers do line up with avatar in a key? Or do u hold it most od the time?

thick kelp
#

if avatar is there its just a bonus

olive nest
#

press any cd button as long as its with cs

#

ez mode

magic canopy
#

Ravager DIE

#

Rend DIE

sharp wyvern
#

you dont like red whirlwind? ratge

olive nest
#

Rend just doesnt fit into the rotation

#

so goofy

minor gust
#

Too bad it's Iconic!

olive nest
#

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

minor gust
#

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

olive nest
#

should just have one bleed instead of two and it should be passive

#

and yeah sure rend proccing resets sounds cool

sharp wyvern
#

hear me out
how about they make our mastery rend

paper gulch
#

And tie it to all attacks applying it

olive nest
#

mortal strike applys your one big bleed (rend) and mastery makes your execute amp it, sudden death procs double the amp

sharp wyvern
#

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

ionic mica
minor gust
#

We do indeed like going back in circles

sharp wyvern

nimble yoke
#

when would I want to use puzzle box in a pack in m+? just right after charge?

vapid spire
#

Blizzard trying so hard to make wow into some kind of esport

sharp wyvern
#

how do nerfs mean they are trying to make it an esport

limber valve
#

idk some people will use anything mildly related to try push their narrative

nova marsh
#

But like

#

You could've used a million other things to prove this

#

Like the fact that the MDI exists

dapper sage
#

do we tab to apply rend in aoe now or is it not important in aoe?

dapper sage
dense sphinx
#

no

#

rend is aoe

#

read it

nova marsh
#

We do not take Tclap because rend itself applies itself in an aoe

dapper sage
#

well ill be damned

nova marsh
#

Yeah that's why the animation changed

#

If you didn't notice

dapper sage
#

i didnt notice it at all till u just said that 😛

nova marsh
#

It's okay, it's kinda hard to miss

#

But ye rend is fully aoe now, no extra keybinds required

mellow seal
#

why does arms have so many buttons

#

for 0 reason

vapid spire
sharp wyvern
#

its the esport competition on tournament servers

vapid spire
nova marsh
#

And that makes wow an esport?

sharp wyvern
#

and its actually backed by blizz not like the RWF

nova marsh
#

Because the RWF is overtuned to fuck to give this sweaty degens a challenge?

sharp wyvern
vapid spire
#

They buffed lura hp by 50% before opening March

nova marsh
#

I mean also march is just blizzard being actually high as shit with tuning

#

That fight looks like a genuine nightmare

vapid spire
#

What tuning ? they dont test anything

sharp wyvern
#

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

nova marsh
#

Well to be fair

#

they weren't expecting 4 days of mythic splits

sharp wyvern
nova marsh
#

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

tiny sable
#

its fun 2nd monitor entertainment

sharp wyvern
#

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

nova marsh
#

Literally runs in circles

nova marsh
sharp wyvern
#

idk about the drama i just like that the information on bosses and strategies are public now

nova marsh
#

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

sharp wyvern
#

especially if your not a top 200 guild

wind hatch
#

lol

nova marsh
sharp wyvern
#

emerald nightmare was not a real raid

nova marsh
#

God damn that was faster then I thought

#

Or like when all the wrath raids were also cleared in 24 hours

sharp wyvern
#

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

vast helm
#

can ToM save arms?

minor gust
#

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

nova marsh
#

No no no

#

Kill that leave it dead

minor gust
#

Avg mythic guild will still take months to prog

sharp wyvern
#

we hate tom he is banned now

proven veldt
#

why does rend drop out of the priority during execute?

nova marsh
#

All my homies hate ToM

nova marsh
sharp wyvern
proven veldt
#

ah yes thank you

#

I am illiterate

nova marsh
#

As warrior mains should be

sharp wyvern
#

its ok we dont read talents either

#

we just know what they do

proven veldt
#

haven't spec'd arms yet this expansion just setting it up

nova marsh
#

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

sharp wyvern
#

arms leveling might be better cause MS hits hard without needing to be enraged

nova marsh
#

Yeah ms dosent need help you just do damage

sharp wyvern
#

same reason arms is better for open world content cause you can basically oneshot things with MS

nova marsh
#

And you can pull big if you want with demo

#

Holy fuck I forgot what it was like to play a normal spec

sharp wyvern
#

you playing DK ?

nova marsh
#

I dropped dk cuz i hate it

#

Im on rogue leveling up warrior to switch between both

sharp wyvern
#

i only like 2h frost cause its feels like what arms should be

nova marsh
#

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

ionic mica
#

You would want to line up all your CDs and then puzzle and send it all

open mesa
#

Is arms 2 target just the same priority as single target but with sweeping strikes?

minor gust
rose ibex
#

Ive always liked the 2h oblit build that didnt bother with breath

nova marsh
#

And breath dosent exist anymore

#

Because its just sustained by your basic rota

rose ibex
#

I understand they streamlined things a lot. My buddy tells me they overpruned it

nova marsh
#

Udk probs

#

Cuz holy that spec is basically edgy ret

#

Frost ...I have no idea

rose ibex
#

Nothing wrong with that

#

My biggest issue with DK was always its sound design

nova marsh
#

Yeah thats not fixed

#

Scourage strike is the only one I really like

rose ibex
#

The hits never felt like hits. Just icy noises and squishy sounds

nova marsh
#

I dont complain about sfx much

#

But yeah obli is weak

rose ibex
#

The gameplay is good in any case

#

Unholy looks really cool with all the minions

nova marsh
#

Im just not a fan of classes that have nothing outside of cds

#

Granted for frost thats partly tuning

rose ibex
#

Thats most all classes

nova marsh
#

Eh

#

Classes like arms or outlaw feel reasonable without cds

#

Fury too, ret last i played it

rose ibex
#

Frost always had a bunch of short cooldowns that kinda overlapped. Not sure what they are like now

nova marsh
#

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

rose ibex
#

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

nova marsh
#

I....dont like dot specs

#

So I never tried assa

#

Sub is nice for turning my brain off

rose ibex
nova marsh
#

....wait it was 7 minutes

#

I thought it was 3 keks

rose ibex
#

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

nova marsh
#

Im a weirdo who likes flatter profiles

#

Not like

#

....arms df s3 flat

#

But not stupid spikey like dk is.

rose ibex
#

Its pretty flat

#

Or its more of a curve up and curve down sorta thing

nova marsh
#

Might be the one caster i play

sacred summit
#

we mostly take slayer in raid and collo in m+ right

rose ibex
#

Its very simple and the spec is very much about resource management

nova marsh
rose ibex
#

You dot things, pool to about 75% astral power, activate eclipse and dump

sacred summit
#

how do u know what to take when?

#

collo is untargetcapped and slayer is tho right

mystic summit
#

quick question for m+. hold demo for cs or just send demo on cooldown?

#

for st

rose ibex
#

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

manic river
#

Is it more about preference or there is one with clear advantage?

rose ibex
mystic summit
#

slayer prob better for the 360 aoe if u arent good at aiming frontals

sacred summit
rose ibex
#

Frontal still important with slayer

olive nest
#

@minor gust Alright I'm sold, slayer M+ is really good

manic river
#

and I guess slayer does a bit better on singlet

sacred summit
#

i thought slayer was capped at 5/reduced damage beyond 5 or 8 or smth no?

rose ibex
#

Reap procs are important to aim well

sacred summit
#

but colossus isnt

rose ibex
#

Reap the storm is a massive part of your damage as slayer

sacred summit
mystic summit
#

isnt reap reduced beyond 8 or is it 5

rose ibex
manic river
#

weird, the animation is like a ww attack

sacred summit
mystic summit
#

its 8 just checked

minor gust
#

Keep em coming boys praise me more grow my power until my name becomes yellow

olive nest
#

wowhead M+ but swapped into longer shout duration and stance mastery

#

also play around with powerful momentum in some dungeons

rose ibex
#

Hopefully they dont leave the spec in the dust after 12.0.5

sacred summit
#

are we like useless without shammies tho

olive nest
#

enjoy it while you can

#

prob donzo in .5

rose ibex
#

Yeah thats my take too

olive nest
#

reap procs carry the aoe big time

rose ibex
#

It be what it be

olive nest
#

itll be dogshit without that

minor gust
#

Only loses like 1.1% ST for the loss of reap

sacred summit
#

frozen do u take slayer into everything in m+ and raid?

minor gust
#

Slam deep wounds and BS buff carries hard

rose ibex
#

Thats good

olive nest
rose ibex
#

Bs buff still going through then?

nova marsh
#

BTW question

minor gust
rose ibex
#

Man it gets hard to keep track of all the changes. Wish we could see the whole shabang consolidated with all changes

minor gust
#

Now it's not ass

nova marsh
#

Does the ms buff from demo feel a bit short to anyone rlse?

#

Its probably just open world being open world

wet scroll
olive nest
#

has aoe every pack and does like 30% more boss damage

#

or more

rose ibex
#

Never left

olive nest
#

xD

thick kelp
#

30%

#

lol

#

lmao

#

closer to like 6

wet scroll
#

Ok so slayer is better then? Is that what I should learn with then?

olive nest
#

sounds good

#

propaganda spreading

rose ibex
#

Both good

minor gust
wet scroll
#

Whats better Im a min maxer lol my main is 3700 last season

stable socket
#

colossus

#

unfortunately

sacred summit
#

lmao everyone asking the same question with the propagana spread

wet scroll
#

Has anyone ran the sims or the numbers?

thick kelp
#

Yeah

#

you can scroll up like 6 hours

minor gust
thick kelp
#

Colossus is better if the fight has 2 or more targets

minor gust
#

Both specs are very good right now

wet scroll
#

Pure single target in m+ builds how far ahead is slayer

thick kelp
#

%

#

but from earlier

wet scroll
#

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

olive nest
#

can do omega aoe with colo

sacred summit
#

lol

#

colo is harder to play tho right? i think i read someone say that in here yesterday

quaint otter
#

Omegalul aoe

olive nest
#

demolish goes dummy

minor gust
#

It's why slayer feels just as good when just looking at Sims makes you think otherwise

rose ibex
thick kelp
#

Slayer ST and AOE lives and dies with your SD procs

#

Colossus just has 90% of its damage for each pack/boss

sacred summit
thick kelp
#

regardless of what happened previously

rose ibex
#

They are both fun and good in dungeon. I swap back and forth between them all the time

sacred summit
#

are the cds that short

thick kelp
#

yeah

minor gust
#

Colo isn't really spikey

#

It still has great consistent dmg

thick kelp
#

you just walk into every pack with cs and demo

#
  • extras
minor gust
#

Cleave CS demo every 30 sec

rose ibex
#

You have cs and avatar which get reduced by rage spent. Whenever ravager is up your basic combo gets supercharged

thick kelp
#

yeah avatar is down to 50'ish seconds now

rose ibex
#

Slayer also has cs and avatar, but you are also slamming SD procs to hit things in a cone and reduce bladestorm cd

minor gust
#

360 not a cone

rose ibex
#

Reap is 360? Badass

#

This whole time I never knew

lone raft
#

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

lethal acorn
#

I like Clarms for high keys because you're tankier

lone raft
#

the prio is always sudden death right

sacred summit
#

clarms

rose ibex
#

Clarms and Slarms

sacred summit
#

lol

minor gust
#

When both are good play what's more fun to you. More you get into something the better you will play

rose ibex
#

I love that

lethal acorn
#

I don't know why people don't call it Clarms

#

So much easier to type

lone raft
#

colo

rose ibex
#

There is real value in that both specs are viable and effective

#

Both specs are fun

lethal acorn
#

Colo could mean prot tho

lone raft
#

2 less letters

#

not in the arms channel

#

unless ur ree tee

lethal acorn
rose ibex
#

Clarms and Slarms

lone raft
#

then u belong in prot

lethal acorn
#

Clarms and Slarms is smooth tho

lone raft
#

sarms are like steroids lul

sacred summit
#

was it the march 31 changes that made arms finally good

minor gust
rose ibex
#

Its single target is where it is struggling

thick kelp
#

its looking horrible for fury

lethal acorn
thick kelp
#

Slarms ends up losing around 6%? due to mortal wounds change to slam

rose ibex
#

6% aoe?

thick kelp
#

ST

finite spire
#

is the M+ Slayer Arms build the recommended one now?

rose ibex
#

Hurm

lethal acorn
minor gust
# thick kelp ST

? Fishy was saying it was only a 1.1% loss in ST unless things changed between then and now

sacred summit
lethal acorn
lone raft
#

5% more hp

#

and 5% dr?

#

it’s one of the hero talents mountain of muscles and scars

#

not on the game rn

safe island
#

is slayer arms good in raid?

lethal acorn
safe island
#

m+ is quite nice

sacred summit
lethal acorn
#

Also demolish itself gives dr too

lone raft
#

yea colo is tanky boi

lethal acorn
#

Not just during the cast but on any targets you hit with it

safe island
#

colo arms way too hard to me

lone raft
#

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?

lethal acorn
lone raft
#

what does frontal fatigue mean ur gay??

minor gust
lethal acorn
#

You ever heard of the movie Coneheads?

#

That's Colossus

lone raft
#

yea

sacred summit
lethal acorn
#

Lining up CD's and positioning are the hardest parts about Clarms

copper swan
lethal acorn
#

Slayers difficulty is more about button prio

safe island
lone raft
#

colo is easier for me in my opinion

minor gust
lone raft
#

you just have two windows for colo arms, a CS into demo every 30/40 seconds

copper swan
#

oh nice

lone raft
#

and then every minute or so u have a full send with ravager, avatar and then cs and demolish

#

spamming cleave

copper swan
#

when do we spend the heroic slams ?

lone raft
#

whenever they are up

#

afaik they take prio because they increase all ur damage by 3% ignore armor

safe island
#

Sweeping Strikes and Rend, these are real disaster to me

lone raft
#

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

copper swan
#

i'd like rend to become whole passive at this point, applying it with cleav, ww or tc, it feels odd to click it

lone raft
#

so whenever my ss is removed it makes a guitar note so I’m psychological pavlov the dog training myself

safe island
#

SS auido alert has bug i think

lone raft
#

mine is working fine after 10+ tests

#

gotta just reload or restart
