rend does feel odd but remember it’s uncapped
makes about 10% of my damage should be more end of a run
FYI I’m a fucking noob
someone correct me if this is bad advice
specifically about the HS proc being top prio
it does not apply colossus smash's SS
I tested it and it worked
idunno
10+ times
mine not working
specifically with CS because someone had an issue
so re make it with a different sound
I’m using synth wave from wc2
try on dummies
why isn't rend used on ST with Slayer? At least not on WoWhead opener.
single target still feels meh, aoe we are chads
better, than before though they are welcome buffs
Been good since the 15% aura buff weeks ago
At one point rend wasn't worth pressing. Prob just Archi forgetting to update. Charge then rend in your openers. Slayer ST prio has rend highest prio if it's not active
CS SS works fine, but normal SS is not working
sometimes works, sometimes not works
wtf
Yeah takes a while for the beta propaganda to lose effect
Single target was pretty ass tho
Reaaaaally bad. Like tank level
works at the beginning, but it is not working now
xd
crawth i am mental booming from playing this spec
key before (18) i did 70k
exact same rota
everything is the exact same
just no sd procs ever
do we charge weave anymore or?
i charge weave on cd
Colo can be fucked with RNG you just got no rage and no tact procs if you get low rolls
XD
slayer is the same
except now u also depend on sd
at least colo always fucks in aoe
Does anyone know how many sparks we can currently have at the moment?
All tier lists garbage
real
Hell yeah hit me with the outdated tier lists thanks for your input!
arms worst spec in the game
6
5 normal + 1 one freebie from world tour quest
idk man apparently it was updated 
Is it one a week?
Yes

Arms bad then let's roll with that thank you slop tier list enjoyet
2 more weeks before I can play kitty then
I do not agree with it being ranked so low btw its just funny that apparently the list has been updated and its still ranked so low
for me 
Hence why tier lists aren't the end all be all
Imagine being ranked below outlaw
i agree, much better to look at stats and logs i think
Just play what you like and you will make it work
dunno tbh
M+ stats are heavily misleading
arms clearing some of the highest keys
You know its true
My friend is playing a piano solo while I grab a cup of coffee during my bladestorm
A piano solo that gets derailed by a dice roll (fuck the purple buff)
Just got my resi 13s too!
I could say the same thing about arms to a degree
grats king
Grats!
huuge gz
I thought my friend's damage was fine but then he mentioned his gear had perfect secondaries and he was pre potting every big cooldown
I think AA (Which is funny because it was my first 13 timed but my last 12 timed)
Hell yeah dude
AA much easier with nerf now thank god
we still charge timing without a swing timer?
if the final hit of the stack is mortal strike or execute, the audio alert does not trigger. can someone test this?
i’m not sure if it’s just me or if others are experiencing this too
i kept testing it, and it works properly with slam, overpower, and cleave
Charge
Rend

CS
Options:
Have rage? Cleave til you cant
SD procs
BS
Don't have rage? BS
Then cleave spam
hey guys, i was once a fury warr, rn wanna learn some of the new stuff and going in the arms. what i didnt understand is how is this spec hits aoe, as far as i read cleave, BS and sweeping strike (which hits only 2 targets) do i have to manage something like whirlwind? edit: switched the slayer arms
Cleave
so i assume ST dmg is higher?
why i dont use heroic strike in aoe situation?
oh
didn't know that
i want to know two target rotation
sims use cleave in two target i dunno why
It's the ST rotation but you press cleave at 3 stacks of collateral

what the priority 3stack colla cleave is?
Behind MS
oh well, i should not use slam, just need to wait for MS coming back.
can we somehow put heroic strike on the same button as another spell and make it take the priority when procs happen
with a macro or addon
too many buttons, too many tracking buffs
You can there's a macro but like there's 0 point you will still need to press slam
Keep scrolling up till you find it
aside from the opener, it’s basically at 10 stacks most of the time
thank you
found it, thank you
colossal might stacks aren't as important as they were in tww
the most important thing is getting it off during your cs window
Critcake running arms keys. Let’s gooooooooo

Is cleave prioritized over MS in two person fight when you got 3 stacks of collateral damage? (has surely been asked a million times already why is there no professional warrior youtuber that produces guides)
no
what was the buff that sudden death needs to further reduce bladestorm’s cooldown?
i forgot
imminent demise
doesn’t it reduce it by consuming a specific buff, up to around 15 seconds?
thx
yea
I've been sticking to colo but slayer is really fun
I might try some more slayer keys
i think it depends on the dungeon tbh
i read through all the executioner-related tooltips and i don’t see anything about reducing cooldowns further. am i just missing it?
it's unrelenting onslaught
the final talent in slayer tree
but it only says sudden death reduces it by 5 seconds, and i can’t find anything about it reducing up to 15 seconds anywhere
per stack of executioner you have
What’s a good way to track that?
doesn’t that just mean it applies 1 stack of overwhelmed per executioner stack, not that it reduces the cooldown further? i guess i’m just misunderstanding the english
i think back in tww, sudden death reduced the cooldown by consuming some kind of buff, what was it? there was no executioner back then
It was consuming mark
oh yeah
there are way too many buffs to keep track of
damn
wait a second, dominance of the colossus will be 5s cd reduce up from 2??
what the hell
Anyone here playing slayer arms in the raid?
I am comparing myself with Crit right now looking at mythic plus logs. I have 273.2 ilvl, around 34% crit and 21% haste with Puzzle box and Solarflare prism as hero fully upgraded trinkets. His average cleave hit in Maisara Caverns are (non-critical) 49k and (critical) 128k where as mine are average (non-crit) 21k and (crit) 48k. I have a crafted weapon 285 ilvl. I use crit flask and light potential potion. Has anyone else noticed their cleave damage being significantly lower than others?
is colossus better overall and can go slayer if st is more needed?
Slayer is so much more fun imo. It feels better in aoe and much more in ST. Aoe doesnt hit as hard without the cleave buffs and demo as to col. But it just feels more fun imo
col aoe is more funner imo
colo for aoe imo at least for me, something satisfying about the last demo smash
maybe now with reduced cd on demo it will feel better ST
they are both good man just play what u like
Check your colossus smash uptime/ targets hit. And your sweeping strikes uptime.
On most bosses, yes
as a filler, or while ravager is active and MS is on CD, look at wowhead for ST prio list
Ty Ty
cleaned up my actionbar dont think i need anything else
clean
cleave probally
yeah he should leave

dont have that talented

single target is quite easy
rage is not an issue
trolling in maisara 10 with an aug
it was my friend rogue, I just stole all the mobs
Das how we do it

Are there any training dummies that are usable before the dungeon starts?
...first of all why
idk pull rage
I wonna say it's reset on fog
Second of all, no not really. All of them that I know are outdoors onlyu
Guys
Fish head does
Good point actually
Also
Are TW dungeons overtuned or what
7 mill health
Time walking felt scuffed leveling up in prepatch. Felt like stuff had too much hp. Maybe same story
Slyvie's ghouls
even when I saved full burst they just wouldn't die
we got them to like half health and then they collasped in
And evreything in end time is omega scuffed
That is the first TW dungeon I've done well leveling that felt insanely overtuned. Like murazond had....7 million hp
charge rend ava cs bladestorm spam cleave
in aoe prioritize SD procs or cleave if both available?
what addon/s are ppl using to show CD of healthstones/potions etc on their unit frames? And stops like stormbolt/shockwave
Like on party frames?
On player unit f rames
...Show an example?
X4 cleaves before BS
do i play the EP conditionals in <20% in the slayer m+ build or do i still press ms on cd
I'll try that, ty
EP rotation like in raid.
You will be fine on rage unless super unlucky and no blue friend in the group
Blue friends don't exist
Can I steal?
aren't you yellow main
big tru, rogue is so op rn
Rogue having the wonderful problem of trash in raid. Awesome in keys
You fool
....I dont have a main anymore
At least it dosent feel like it
Man
This is what I get for not playing warrior for one expansion
Yup deserved
leaving warrior for mage is actually fucked up
if its shaman you're referring to then its not as bad
what
Ew no
Shaman
Shaman
Not mage
saved
Fuck i forgot we had multiple shades of blue 
shammies are bros
could be worse. could be aug
bluemangood
augs are not fine. they give me fake damage. imagine going the gym hitting prs on bench and then you find out some invisible man was helping you lift
Id kill myself!
I think its more that theyre giving you creatine and pre-workout rather than lifting it for you
Augs can help you do that
i disagree. i think i'm doing well on the meters and then i find out i get augd and was just okay. would be the same at the gym, you go "ahh the weights are really easy" and then you find out why it was easier, you feel deceived.
I think its fine we basically have a bard class now. The only thing I don't like about them is bad ones are keystone terrorists.
idk the spec is unbalanceable as well. either too strong or too weak
At least they have a dev, warriors obviously do not
hit 246 between t11 delves, tw and shit, let's spin up this first M+ as slayer lol
is the slayer rotation for aoe in raid the same as this but just use whirlwind and maintain the buff?
since slayer doesnt take cleave unless ig in keys?
anyone have a good CD macro for arms? do we macro CS and avatar together?
WW is a pretty dead button. I haven't pressed that shit in raid since DF when we had BIG WW... I miss that shit. Anytime if theres any meaningful aoe well usually pick up cleave.
I'm pretty sure the cleave builds runs it
There's a threshold where you can WW over slam but like cba just press other buttons and hit the boss
WW s 4 shadowlands the golden age
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/7TgdLm4qHDy9F8af?fight=last&type=damage-done
Don't look at damage taken, I was freestyling life, but anything I should get ahead of? that was stupidfun.
oh? but it doesnt look like people are taking cleave in raid
(looking at heroic data)
depends on boss
Because most of the time it just aint worth it especially in heroic
Adds will typically die before your bladestorm is over
ah so do we just hold and use bs for adds and just dump boss ST
pretty much
cuz it looks like for acutal aoe fights we just go colossus
and the fights we take slayer we dont cleave
also, the talent point commitment to do any type of aoe damage outside of BS is ginormous
im a slayer cleave + fob believer for mythic chimaerus and averzian
yea no one seems to be taking cleave for slayer in mythic either
except 28% of ppl for mythic chimaerus
yea aversian is the other one where its almost half/half
ppl going slayer/colossus
do u just prefer slayer?
yeah for raid
i only like playing colossus if there's isnt really a choice
u do colossus in keys?
normal st build but i drop both points of bloodborne and bloodsurge for cleave, collateral damage, and fervor of battle
yeah
gotcha thanks
so arms just doesnt use whirlwind ever then huh
whirlwind is a meme button rn lol
is arms targetcapped the same way fury is
na
practicing single target
i swear the m+ slayer build has the same dps as the single target raid build
can't seem to wiggle off of 50k
arent cleave, smash, and demolish 8target cap with reduced damage beyond 8
Yes
But that's not the same way fury is
5 target vs 8 right?
furys cleave through imrpoved ww is hard capped to 5
and tc/tb is soft capped to 5 so they're technically similar ye
I think I am just blind, but it looks like we don't use heroic strike at all during the aoe rotation?
does this mean our apex talent is doing nothing
cleave slams due to some talent
ah okay
How is arms holding up compared to fury? IcyVeins puts it a couple tiers down for raiding
Must be missing that
arms is played on one fight and fury shouldnt be played for any others so i suppose its doing fine
it's got potential on a couple fights, but Fury leads for the most part
Yes and fury is hardcapped for their main rotational aoe
ah I see it now, cleave uses slam if it hits 3+ targets
Shame, I just love the class fantasy of arms more than fury
you are fine to play arms
Lightblinded is really good for Arms
Crown, Belo'ren, and Midnight Falls are all decent
unless you're wf/hof raiding you can play whatever you want
Yeah probably true, I’m not pushing any limits with my gameplay so I’ll probably just as effective/ineffective lol
then you should definitely play the spec you enjoy most
Very much this - be mindful that the reason Fury is better is because it blasts adds but there are a lot of specs that blast adds - if you don't play Fury, a Warlock or DH is just gonna kill them instead
I’m relatively new to WoW, just saw a lot of people saying “arma is dead in midnight”
so it's not like your raid is really losing anything by not playing Fury
rip @jovial marsh, we hardly knew you 🫗
Oops

Arms has gotten buffed a few times, and the last three fights being basically all single target helps
How’s the rotation? Can a pea-brain pick it up?
I still wouldn't call Arms good by any means, even in pure single target, it's kind of middling at best
but you can play it just fine, and frankly all the other AoE blasters in your raid will probably like you more for playing Arms instead of Fury 
i dont think any rotation is currently difficult to understand
Please throw me
it's pretty similar to TWW, just look at the guides in the #dps-faq
What about in dungeons? Fury is better for clear?
Arms is good in high sustained cleave
pretty mid in single target, but that's not the majority of keys
Gotcha gotcha, will be putting in the time to learn arms when I get back on
2-handed axes are the best weapon for the spec right?
weapon type doesnt matter as long as its 2h str
rag on me lads
windrunner 10 , I did die on one boss fight charging through rubble on orc guy
and warlock took 19 years to brez me
I need more rend uptime other than that how am I looking, does my MS need more
and am I slamming too much on ST
someone mentioned earlier just waiting for resource and using MS instead
Cleave also slams so keep that in mind
chief we cannot help you much from a damage breakdown
we have no idea what you're pressing when. Although
dying is a skill issue\
can we macro ava+wb
I'm pretty sure yeah
so fury's main source of damage in aoe is their main rotation and not tbs right
ik wb isnt synced but we want to ava whenever we have wb anyways
dont see why you couldn't
hi spongie57
you could conjure up some fucked up scenario where you want to shift your avatar into a later warbreaker
press cleave
#showtooltip Avatar
/startattack
/cast Blood Fury
/castsequence reset=target/10 Avatar, Colossus Smash, Demolish"
wowhead multi-target arms talents does not have cleave talented
the demolish is broken tho
I'm not sure with thane, since clap absoutlely blsts
But probally yes
in pulls with moer than 6 mobs as fury, u prio clap
e.g. ur algethar first pull can look sth like this
charge>of>ava>reck>clap>rampage>clap>rampage>clap>rampage>clap (u probs reach past 100 rage on the first few secs every gcd)
even if its not blast
then when the pull dies down u go to regular rotation
its in the priorty list
i dont think it does but it probably does more relevant damage
Its much better ST
yh but in most pulls i can't keep up with other specs with slayer
much easier with colo
why can't we have both 🙁
Because colo is cursed to forever be an aoe spec and nothing else
i dont want to top the meters in st, just don't want to be below the tank 🙁
is that so much to ask for? 😄
Should still be able to do above tank tho
protection paladins wreck me :/
i'm getting more and more to that conclusion but can't seem to find the answer :/
Its ok. Sometimes I feel like im getting skill issued on arms st. Espiclaly without cds in st
Tho slayer fixed the ST issue mainly for me
true but my overall damage is still kinda meh
gear and stats should be oke, must be missing something but don't see it
For slayer? I dont think its much different besides prio sd procs
if someone wanna help do some test runs on dummies, i'm all for it 😄
Question about slayer in the execute phase: do you ONLY press MS with two stacks of executioner's precision?
Also question about slayer in AoE pulls: if I have CS and BS off cooldown and am hitting a pack with like 3+ mobs, is it better to send BS despite the fact that it'll desync from Avatar? Or should I ONLY ever use BS on odd numbered CS casts to keep it synced with Avatar for the entire dungeon
We get way more SD procs on AoE so often BS will come off cooldown far earlier than expected
Also a third question: why do SD procs sometimes reduce BS cooldown by 5 seconds, and other times by 10 seconds?
yes
Because it's based on mark procs
it's 5 sec per proc.
dont worry about syncing bladestorm with avatar
cs is what matters
I see, I see
hey guys what are you using to track sweeping strikes
Blizzard's cooldown manager
Configure the buff bar to track what you want, then put the buff bar somewhere you can view easily
For me it's over my portrait
Is mastery even good? Damn sim leaning toward it 
Do you guys think the slayer m+ build will still be used in the 12.0.5? The changes to reap the storm will hurt us in ST...
Colo ST is going up right? Then I'd think slayer wouldn't be played much
Slayer is being played more now
We don't hate any stats
And it's not terrible
Im feeling more haste and crit since i’m coverting from fury 
so wowhead doesn't have much regarding slayer and multi-target, what's the cut off for cleave? 2 or 3 targets (assuming M+). And I saw the mention about sycning w/ CS a few comments above, should I sync avatar w/ that as much as possible I'm assuming?
Tbd but early Sims are looking fine
Better than Vers but not better than crit or haste. Obviously the more you have of any one stat the more valuable every other stat becomes. If you're extremely heavy on haste and crit then mastery can match them
Vers currently wants to be as low as possible, and being at literally zero is ideal
Plus even with a release candiate they could buff slayer ST

Yeah, there's a lot that can still happen so we'll see. But from what fish she has shared slayer's looking fine
How much of a loss is it actually
Ideal crit rate? 
I only know single Target Sims right now, but it's only like a 1% loss. Thanks to bladestorm buffs and slam applying deep wounds
Oh not bad not bad
Nothing really changes much for aoe I'd assume, since we always have SS up and we'll always be hitting another target
Aoe is going to be down a little because no deep wounds on cleave but got a 20% plate so I'm buff so we'll see
Looks like orc has the best slam animation? Downward slash which is how slam suppose to be? 
Holy speech to text was terrible there
oh so does slayer just loose aoe wounds?
20% bladestorm buff
Yeah, there is no way to AOE apply wounds as Slayer Colossus has demolish at least
I mean look at it this way. That's one less AOE talent
And they can tune bleeds in a way to make Colossus bleeds. Feel really good and for bleeds to be impactful for single Target
im starting to think the glvoes from seat doesnt exist
The gloves are whatever. Just play the game and eventually you'll get them. Unless you have alleria neck then yeah you need them
Yep, been a major arms problem since dragonflight
we've been saying this since dragonflight at the least
df was serviceable as most of it felt coherent in some kind of way
surely this time theyll get it right
lets then kill off rage gen on everything
just give me some of the love mage or paladin gets man
actually, just let me have the paladin man to do it
whoever does warrior right now needs to not touch it further
They kept hearing rage is cosmetic last two expansions so midnight they decided to kill rage gen all together.
idk i think its hilarious that the class that has one dps spec be played for one fight and then benched forever did not get buffs for the underperforming specs balance pass
and we found ways of using the cosmetic rage in s2, but pressing IP rotationally is kind of not it
but it was good
That's the only way to do it for modern arms
I heard if you hand the class dev a death threat it works in your favor, seemed to have worked for the mages
Xeos knows
Just overflow us with rage and give us a off gcd spender. Because arms design and rage is completely fucked. It can only be too much or too little.
somewhat
see if you HAVE a class dev that works 🫠
Must be AI taking joke feedbacks seriously 
Too much random bullshit to rage gen to make it consistent and balanced
if they could read this they would be very sad
give us some of the rage gains back on avatar, make the cost reduction thing on charge or whatever baseline and we have something to work with
Pref they need to just do a full redesign to arms and our relationship with rage. But we know that will never happen
straight up pulling vanguard and being rage starved in lust is fucking illegal
but you do good damage at least
let swing timer continue through demolish
minor things like that will go a long way
Warming up needed to be reworked to that initiative talent we had in alpha
Attack speed on CS cast
Just like a 100% atk speed steroid on cs
i am just not playing warrior this patch
even on fights where design lends itself to fury, tuning has it still fucking blow
i am pressing rend over raging blow
and how do we fix that problem as thane?
lets nerf the button we press instead
Mid blow
not a single logical though behind any of the shit changes they are doing
MS doing either 0 or a million
It's crazy how last tier RB went from spam the living hell out of this button to don't touch it with a 10ft pole
Even in the war within they did the same song and dance with Arms. Season 1 mortal strike sucks ass. Then they gigabuff it for season 2 and it's great and now it feels like in midnight we're repeating the same s hit
getting giga nerfed because of fight design in nerubar
only sim 66k with buffs collo single target
while no one is getting giga nerfed off fight design this time around

👍
Got crashed when lust 
Sorry bub you gotta wait till 12.05 for giga fast demolish and DW on slam spam
when using cleave in M+. is there a "minimum target threshold", feel crafting it it FEELS like 2 targets is okay, but just don't know how to prio. I'm playing slayer FWIW, I checked wowhead, but it explicitly doesn't mention a "minimum" just where it's at on the prio.
At 3 targets Cleave is your top priority (not counting CS/BS etc)
At 2 just use sweepiong strikes and your ST Rotation
At 2 targets, cast with three stacks of Collateral
okay thanks
and yes, this
and one other thing regarding syncing, it's talking about 10-15% of the CD is the sweet spot to wait, but should I always aim to line p avatar w/ CS?
Also, having reviewed warcraftlogs and seeing how Arms is performing in keys... bros, are we about to get nerfed?
Arms is starting to feel strong and I'm scared
it won't allign always sadly, so sometimes you just keep sending it until it resyncs automatically
it's honestly so fucking fun from the 2 keys I did.
okay bet, just doing more keys/timing undertood.
99% of the times when I'm not sure to hold I regret holding them 😄
thanks for the assist, so far w/ what I've played - arms has to be the most satisfying, beyblade and pray baby
last time I touched this spec was back in BFA w/ the giga haste from corruptions
Slayer can just send ava on cd without Cs unless CS is almost up like sub 10-15 sec. Colo tho always hold ravager or ava for CS
okay gotcha, that makes sense too, I think I'm going to be sticking to slayer for keys, but wanna give col a good go at it
and with the incoming changes, col looks gnarly as fuck lol
The colo changes help ST more than AoE
Blizz rarely tunes for M+ that shit is a minigame to them raid is always the prio. The only thing that can and should get nerfed about arms is cleave. And If Blizz isn't tarded they will follow the cleave nerf with ST buffs like last time.
that's sort of why I'm doing slayer vs col atm, I prefer a more balanced damage profile where possible
But I'm actually excited to play Colo prot because Revenge has no CD, so there's a realistic world where prot preses Demolish twice per trash pack
Or even three times??? What a world
but col genuinely seems so sick, the lock of demolish can be big stinky, but it's such a satisfying press
Play Slayer with a handful of high vaue AoE talents
I just ripped the M+ build from wowhead, I should prob check logs too, but I've not gone that deep yet
hit 90 4 hours ago, and hit 246 before playing my DH w/ the boys, so just waiting to get back on that fella
The wowhead build for slayer is good. There's only one potential trade you could do and that's dropping ME for powerful sweep
is it a "feels" decision, or something moe gear or key related?
Imo more key related. Powerful is nice for bosses you can get good SS value out of or if your doing mid to low keys you don't really get any value out of ME cuz you aren't getting that 2nd CS in the 35% hp range
understood & noted, thanks!
I just checked and I don't have Fatal Mark talented (M+ build), but BS CD is still being reduced by more than 5s
Do you get extra CDR if you're at max stacks of imminent demise?
Wrong mark
REad first slayer talent
yeah
So that Arms wouldn't have any GCDs to press?
^^
You'd just afk even more often but now we probally don't have any rage issues
At least we'd have plenty of GCDs to press IP
Give us more rage or higher vhance to reset MS
:)
I'd rather just keep slam and give us more rage
Its such an akward button to press
I'm a retired raider
Its been lackluster for me im hovering around 8-12 spots on dps
261 ilvl and still wearing 3 blue pieces, rings literally don't exist. Are they a decent 2nd craft after weapon?
Its been really good on m+ gotta say
Been running slayer instead of collosus
Yeah it looks great for keys
Yeah i can see that but outaide aoe it literally does nothing
it's actually still really good
A couple extra GCDs of 35% more dmg isn't that bad imo
especially with good tactitian procs and stuff
especially in combination with the new Apex, and if you're running Slayer for extra MS from Unhinged
1s per MS doesn't sound like much, but assume you get at least 3, usually more like 5+ MS per Colossus Smash right?
- so imagine your 4p just says "Colossus Smash lasts 50% longer" you'd think that was a pretty dope bonus
4pc owns so hard it begging for it to be a talent
mainly for funnel purposes but uh I do really like being able to extend CS while afk in BS
How can it be good outside of aoe when you need 3 targets for it to work? Maybe im misunderstanding?
Mortal strike also extends the duration
read the second half of it
oh wtf
or rather the first half I guess
reading hard for warrior players. More news at 11
zugzug
with Mortal Strike or Cleave
that has been tripping up so many people lately lol
I think its just poorly worded to be honest
yeah a little bit, but it's hard to write succinct tooltips that are also grammatically clear
yes, like many of their tooltips
but yea this
they do just need to do that stuff though
"Damaging a target affected by CS with MS, or cleave---"
would a comma not just fix it?
Many people thought you had to somehow hit 3 targets with MS to get it to work
but also to be fair, it's pretty obvious if you think about it for more than a few seconds
- mortal strike can't hit 3 targets period, so obviously it means with "Mortal strike
,or Cleave that hits 3+,"
the real issue is most people just don't read their tooltips at all lol, they give it a quick glance and never look again 
real
also should be pretty obvious they're not gonna make a 4p that only works in multitarget
Blizz does questionable things sometimes, but they're not dumb lol
idkk man, UH DK tier 4p is bugged, doesn't give you a proc wheny ou get a free scourge strike
the dk's solution? cancel aura the buff
blizzard's? Make cancel auring impossible, with no fix LOL
it was unironically a dps increase, to cancel that free proc buff for them
Hey guys I just posted a log review if anyone has the time to help me out, would apreesh - will try to get back to ppl when possible, sick of being rejected to keys so will be healing on alt / doing easter stuff today
wait dym
wdym
what is it not proccing
oh its not proccing horsemen
ic
ahh its not giving you strength but still procs horsies
has arms pulled ahead of fury for raid?
if your raid has a bunch of padders, yeah
depends on the fight
also a good arms warrior will probably just outperform someone just trying to play the best spec
What if I’m not a good arms warrior
Then become one
For heroic overall statistics sure but heroic doesn't really mean much and mythic sample size is still low
makes sense
I'am not sure about demolish being more frequently, It will lose some of the feel of a high impact skill
But I guess is a wow trend turning every cd less then 30s
we're here to help! The community is really good about helping answer questions and prop each other up 🙂 we dont gatekeep here
every arms warrior is a good warrior
Hi. As arms slayer in m+ Single target does MS have higher prio than SD Execute?
Sd execute will trigger reap the storm
So I say sd execute
And also lowers bladestorm cd
But im just a budding arms warr alot of people here will know more for sure
Just to make sure I got this right, I see on slayer AOE slam but more importantly heroic strike is not at all in the rotation, but the buff from it seems really good, it that normal?
Sd2>ms>sd1
Cleave does heroic strike against 3 targets.
may I know which talent that reduce demolish CDs?
For m+ slayer should I be keeping Cleave on CD regardless of anything else
nvm I found out is anger management
If only
Demolish is due to Colossal Might (built by Mortal Strike and Cleave)
Anger Management influences your CS and Avatar
That would be so nice having demolish on AM instead of separate
have them actually line up 😭
thanks😊
of course!
hard to line up with war break >avatar and demolish
with arms, you want to hold all of your other cooldowns and send them with the next Colossus Smash
We must be better.
usually I saw is WB>demolish or avatar with demolish
@minor gust I gotta admit slarms in M+ actually feels pretty deece
Another one converted
It's only Demolish with Colossus Smash applied 
Surely I can play thane on paladins and it's not inting too hard right
ok.
slayer build or colossus better? I like slayer more coz is easiler
for M+ you can play either one, it doesn't matter
(play slayer)
for Raid, you play different ones based on the boss
oic. I am still figure out how to land my CDs on raid
bro I might be converted too
I did some slarms keys today and it was sick
Come my children enjoy the peak that is slarms
do we press cleave when proc on single target?
It's less int than full aoe col on hc dragons forsure
something that helps visualize it a bit is Lorrgs.io. It shows you a visual breakdown of the top 50 logs for the boss/difficulty, and you can see when people are casting things.
https://lorrgs.io/spec_ranking/warrior-arms/imperator-averzian?difficulty=heroic
not perfect, but it's an interesting way to see data
that will be a great help thanks again😊
Sometimes I forget we literally don't have Jugg anymore
No wonder Executes feel so meh sometimes
I wish they didn't do executioner and just buffed baseline exe
Because it's just a 3% increase
Goes up to 3 stacks
So it's not feeling as impactful
New PFP drop to help convert more to slayer
appropriate day to pick it, at least lol

🙏
Is there a way to get sockets in crafted gear? Is it only from vault tokens?
Also it looks like you can embellish crafted weapon AND get an embelish on wrists? Is that new too?
you've been able to have 2 embelishments since the system was invented iirc
I always thought weapon embellish took both slots
nah, you'd put the Weapon on, then you'd make something that enhanced the weapon even further
was the Nerubian Doubler or something, litererally made the weapon twice as strong
ahhh I do recall that actually, now that you mention.... I gotta recraft some bracers. Bye money
I dont get heroic strike against 3 target
you need to take the Fervor of Battle talent.
It'll automatically make Cleave cast Slam if you hit 3+ targets.
Slam = Heroic Strike, so it means your Cleave casts Heroic Strike.
no worries! Applies to sweeping strike too 🎉
thanks
hello, can you send me guys rotation for AoE and ST for arms slayer? I saw many rotations and they arę all different
the one on WoWhead is accurate 👍
just gotta pick which content you're doing, and which hero talents you're running
if you see something's off, just ask here and we can help too
so this one is good for ST?
if you're playing Slayer and in Single Target yes
I must have more trust for wowhead, thank you Hrothmar 🙂
ig bro
I have a lot of keybinds set up but I'm actually running out of them for Arms.. Ravager, Colossus Smash, Avatar, Demolish, etc etc, shiiet
begone thot
you were too slow i clicked on the link and already sent them $100
my larger plan worked then
(im the bot)
are there any skills that can be combined in a macro for Arms?
It's all good, there's a lot of kind of confusing, niche circumstances (and strange talents) that interact in ways that can be easy to overthink. If you ever feel confused by something we're very helpful and can help outline why things work, or what to press in different cirumstaces
but the WoWhead guide probably has it right, if you just pipe in the situtation you're facing
you can, but i wouldn't recommend it. It's a slight DPS loss to do this for almost all of our spells. Your cooldowns will largely desync anyways, so you don't want to bind them together most of the time
keeping in mind that things like Heroic Strike are already macro'd into Slam by default, and how Cleave automatically casts Heroic Strike for you in AoE.
roger, thanks, just gotta make room then
what talent is this?
nvm found it
For Cleave it's Fervor of Battle (explained [a few messages above](#arms message))
yeee
and the Heroic Strike/Slam thing is just baseline. They'll be listed differently on the rotation but it's just Slam in practice. One button for both
aye, cheers man, appreciate it - been nonstop fury but I want to learn arms
Bladestorm and Demolish can be put on the same button, since you won't use both on the same build
How about avatar and cs?
Avatar is off gcd, right?
yes but in some occations you want to save ava but send cs
Avatar is off the GCD, correct, but macroing them together is a slight DPS loss still, according to the number crunching
Yeah, if you're going into a small pack, but a MASSIVE pack (or boss) is up next, you dont wanna blow avatar on a tiny pack
I think Blizzard missed a big opportunity to make demolish a part combo of colossus smash
real
Because you know, colossus and colossus smash
who doesn't love a rooted, mob-aimed frontal square 
i love squares personally
hopefully everyone coz with the changes we are gonna be using demo ALOT
lmao gonna be fitting 2 demos in between every CS 
yeah if no other changes the aoe is gonna be nuts
Looks like slayer turbo pumps

Got a slayer turbo pump m+ build to send my way?
can drop stance mastery and resonating voicefor javelineer and crushing force
chad, thanks!
You know I wonder about dropping BLord for powerful
Guys whats the better build for more dps on low keys where mobs die so fast? 10s I mean, also any advanced m+ guide for both arms buil?
Try slayer
Less setup for burst
Does the prio change on AOE for slayer? After BS cds opener should I spam Cleave?
Lmao fair enough.
Spam cleaves before BS. But yeah aoe prio doesn't change between Colo and slayer besides SD being super high prio right after cleave unless you have 2 stacks of SD
less setup ye but no burst
colo bursts pretty hard
both are pretty bad in low keys tho
imo
did 92k on last boss algethar
i lowk dont understand slayer
didnt starve at all got perma sd in exe gg
Why cleave before BS?
i think it's for sd stacks
i think tho, don't take me for granted cuz im clueless too
I've been cleaving after BS. Just cleaving 4 times before BS doesnt feel good imo
Should be BS first to apply the dmg amp stacks imo
I also cant go back to col after slayer. Brain just cant regain the memory of col 
but yeah, my guess is we spam cleaves before BS to get SD stacks to make BS stronger
I just dont like thinking about the desync of cds from that
It more or less works out most of the time tho. Can normally get another cs in before avatar and BS is baked up
Feels decently smooth to me
i often do CS and shortly after CS but before the CS+Ava window, I get another BS
so then I have to stagger the other two for ~15s or send them and bs shortly after
idk man, scuffed
to put cleave on cd
besides im pretty sure for slayer, bladestorm is send always at 3 stacks, whether CS or not
then u bs while cleave is on cd
maximizing damage
thats actually very..fair lol
Maybe im just small brain
cleave strong true
It just sounds awful waiting that long to BS
im still a bit sad feels like our mortal strike still hits like piss
Ms does indeed suck. Not too bad on slayer tho
ehhh
does good dmg if it crits xdd
Procs reap. So a bit more useful then col
TRU lol
The thing where we have to overpower twice before MS is gone right?
I think so. I usually just execute twice before MS in execute scenarios, but else send on proc
i play without skyfury and from my feelycraft i found that keeping op2 on cd smoothens it out a bit
also did blizzard do anything to Arms' resource generation? we aren't starving at all on slayer but on colossus its so scuffed
Man this can be so rng. Sometimes MS just hits hard after 2 procs. Then sometimes it hits less then slam or a cleave on st smh
nah bro im below 30 rage perma as slayer
yea when I see MS hitting 26k
in execute
Idk man im starving
it makes me want to shove a rod in my ass
goat design
when i press 2 executes before ms
and it hits for 40k
I cry inside when I see a slam crit 50k while ms does 26k
unlucky just crit more
yea at this point i think maximum crit and 50-50 haste mast is the way to go
I can only get so much crit. I mainly play and gear for fury 
My weapon has no crit
screw fury man
i mean, don't if you like it of course
but if you don't (fury makes me wanna stop playing wow), don't
Idk. Arms in raid besides light sounds not fun at all
I did arms in raid just last night
im not gonna give logs bcuz im geared in poopoo
but i almost reached dps saturation according to sims and it was fine
I dont mythic raid like that so no matter to me
wait we talking mythic?
my man
i aint ever seen mythic raiding with pugs
and I don't think I will. Maybe voidspire will be a first
Well even more so. Guild doesnt really raid mythic like that till maybe later in the season
Even more so. What can I do about it. Vault gave me myrh weapon. It has mastery verse
It is what it is 
damn
i mean, i think myth weap sims lower than crafted weap for arms
:D
for fury too probably
Crafted was haste mastery due to gearing for fury
thats still okay
But its fine. Arms isnt too bent on secondary stafs
Like crit cake still popping off with his fury stats
ur not forced to follow the BiS list from wowhead or something
myth weapon should win overall for Arms, but stats might influence it
sup arch
what I wanna say is, you can still do something decent like 800crit 600haste 600 mastery
I'll sim tomorrow and see. But either way both weapons dont have crit on it
and it should work for fury too
Wcyd
the MFalls weapon in particular, despite being out of reach till prog is over, is very good for Arms due to being all haste
I gear as arms and play arms in most raid fights. Only switching to fury for Averzian, Dragons and the one in Dream rift.
Doing fine with that strat so far.
But only normal and HC. We don't do mythic
arms st owns. first boss nexus(not the damage amp one)
I mean with flask and oils. I get around like 1k crit. 800-900 haste and somewhere in the 400-800 ish mastery so its not THAT bad
Slayer gang?
yessir
yea its good I guess
:D
Considering fury i have like above 1k mastery and like 800 or so haste its not bad off gearing lol
I did a bunch of Slayer keys farming a ring today; hard to judge in pugs but felt like it did well overall
yea i think so as well. also farming the ring, gotten the void ring 6 times but no light ring...
Arms is actually quite good for Imperator on N/H too, since you don't need to drag the add away and can just sweep it down
I need to farm pit since for some reason all our crit haste gear comes from it
Reminds me i am missing haste crit rings so can probably be fixed more and still rocking champ neck since my hero one doesnt have crit so way more fixable
Am still pumping in keys so is all guccu
imperator is also the first boss, really really does not matter what you play. if you enjoy arms more play arms
I only have void, but that's the more important one (it's also good for Fury)
Light only really matters if you have Alleria neck
i do
do you have gloves?
yes
well look at mr fed
normal neck tho
Might have to do some slayer keys
it's fun
I feel like I'm playing it wrong in raid even though I'm playing it the exact same I did in season 2 tww when I was goated at it
Practice practice practice
have skyfury
I like Demo, but it can be hard to time w/ inconsistent tanks in pugs
Slayer plays real smooth
you prio op2 over everything in exe?
depends how much rage i have
not over everything
in single target key bosses prio MS > HS > SD > OP > Exe for rage efficiency
if you find yourself high on rage for some reason, then put Exe before OP
Big fan of this spec not being a spec without skyfury
idk im just feelycrafting it cause i was mental booming yesterday all day
It's good
waaaaaaaaaaaaait a second
are we gonna get invited into pug M+ now?
no
No
No
I acutally had no problem getting into keys 
People don't invite warriors unless you have a blue shield next to your name
I mean I was just farming 10-11, but I had like a 1 in 5 apply/success rate
I wouldn't know I stopped pugging years ago
you mean this one?
I dont know what it means though
and last season and every season before
yes
I'm only like 2.7k io lol, not bothering to push rn
Yeah that one
though being 275 ilvl might have something to do with it 
just have a personal tank who's gonna drag you to 3k
pff easy
People are weird eith what they want in pugs
i did it like that
They want perfect buffs, lust and brezzes in every dungeon
more that it's just not a priority for me right now
They get stuck up on brezzes for some reason not sure why
And it's like not important
was a joke actually, no offence ment
personally, i just like the white birb
30 rio left to get it
I had no issues getting to 3k. Tho its getting annoying finishing my 14s. I should've pushed week 1 but wcyd
print money with herbalism
Herb kinda dead. Cba
made almost 200k within 3 days
I mean. Can just do clothes bolts every few days for 200k just making them. Which reminds me I should be doing mine but lazy
need a setup, but when it is ready, that's quite literally picking up money that's growing on bushes
I did enough herbing and mining during EA
i understand that
Not a much as others but enough for wha ti wanfed
seems like im preparing dk for .5 gg
for m+
Was even debating going healer spec smh
Colossus changes are goated
I LOVEEEE dk
they gonna get nerfed (DK discord dont know what % it is, but all are sure that it will be a nerf) and 4 set bonus makes the aoe actively worse.
doesnt matter spec is broken
i mean, literally, you have to use only 2x set
Spec is kinda shit
Are they tho?
Yes
if it makes to. 5 and arms is op im playing it
its actually not, elem shamans do +- the same dps in overall. Less aoe but own bosses
