45k on a boss vs 60k on the same boss

lone raft
#

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

safe island
#

it does not apply colossus smash's SS

lone raft
#

I tested it and it worked

safe island
#

idunno

10+ times

#

mine not working

lone raft
#

specifically with CS because someone had an issue

#

so re make it with a different sound

#

I’m using synth wave from wc2

safe island
#

i use wc3

#

let me try other sound

lone raft
#

try on dummies

#

why isn't rend used on ST with Slayer? At least not on WoWhead opener.

manic river
#

How is arms doing in M+ after the last buffs?

#

Is it still low?

granite coral
#

single target still feels meh, aoe we are chads

#

better, than before though they are welcome buffs

#

Good

I was already used to be aoe centered with colo

do we charge weave anymore or?

i charge weave on cd

so

XD

slayer is the same

#

except now u also depend on sd

at least colo always fucks in aoe

Yeah

its just max cluegi tierlist then

#

if arms is not high a tier

minor gust
#

Arms bad then let's roll with that thank you slop tier list enjoyet

rose ibex
spring vale
#

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 Armsowns

minor gust
#

Hence why tier lists aren't the end all be all

rose ibex
#

Imagine being ranked below outlaw

spring vale
#

i agree, much better to look at stats and logs i think

we still charge timing without a swing timer?

safe island
#

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

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

bold granite
#

Cleave

undone birch
#

so i assume ST dmg is higher?

safe island
#

why i dont use heroic strike in aoe situation?

spring vale
#

cleave procs it for you when it hits 3+ targets

safe island
#

oh

#

didn't know that

#

i want to know two target rotation

#

sims use cleave in two target i dunno why

minor gust
#

It's the ST rotation but you press cleave at 3 stacks of collateral

safe island
#

this is single rotation,

minor gust
safe island
#

what the priority 3stack colla cleave is?

minor gust
#

Behind MS

safe island
#

what about in execute phase

#

sim uses heroic strike before cleave

minor gust
safe island
#

oh well, i should not use slam, just need to wait for MS coming back.

copper swan
#

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

safe island
#

too many buttons, too many tracking buffs

minor gust
#

Keep scrolling up till you find it

surreal spade
#

this is right ?

#

dont need 10 stacks?

safe island
#

aside from the opener, it’s basically at 10 stacks most of the time

the most important thing is getting it off during your cs window

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)

safe island
#

what was the buff that sudden death needs to further reduce bladestorm’s cooldown?

#

i forgot

wind hatch
#

imminent demise

safe island
#

doesn’t it reduce it by consuming a specific buff, up to around 15 seconds?

safe island
wind hatch
#

it's executioner

safe island
#

yea

sharp flame
#

yall fucking with Slayer or Colo in keys?

#

slayer feels more fun

wind hatch
#

I've been sticking to colo but slayer is really fun

#

I might try some more slayer keys

sharp flame
#

yea im thinking

#

slayer is more fun

#

but colo pulls ahead slightly?

wind hatch
safe island
# wind hatch wait no im stupid

i read through all the executioner-related tooltips and i don’t see anything about reducing cooldowns further. am i just missing it?

wind hatch
#

the final talent in slayer tree

safe island
#

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

wind hatch
#

per stack of executioner you have

gentle frigate
#

What’s a good way to track that?

wind hatch
#

I don't think it's too relevant to track that

#

it's kinda just a passive thing

safe island
#

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

wet island
#

So when do you use cleave in ST

safe island
#

there are way too many buffs to keep track of

#

damn

brittle rock
#

wait a second, dominance of the colossus will be 5s cd reduce up from 2??

#

what the hell

gentle frigate
#

Anyone here playing slayer arms in the raid?

stable silo
#

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?

grim orchid
#

is colossus better overall and can go slayer if st is more needed?

pulsar frost
#

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

median crag
#

col aoe is more funner imo

lone raft
#

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

hit 246 between t11 delves, tw and shit, let's spin up this first M+ as slayer lol

sacred summit
#

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?

There's a threshold where you can WW over slam but like cba just press other buttons and hit the boss

fierce wharf
sacred summit

(looking at heroic data)

wind hatch

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

nova marsh
#

Age old problem of arms

#

of just go st

sacred summit
#

ah so do we just hold and use bs for adds and just dump boss ST

wind hatch
#

pretty much

sacred summit
#

cuz it looks like for acutal aoe fights we just go colossus

#

and the fights we take slayer we dont cleave

astral yarrow
wind hatch
#

im a slayer cleave + fob believer for mythic chimaerus and averzian

sacred summit
#

yea no one seems to be taking cleave for slayer in mythic either

#

except 28% of ppl for mythic chimaerus

wind hatch
#

i got rank 5 on averzian with it

#

but everyone else is running colossus pretty much

sacred summit
#

yea aversian is the other one where its almost half/half

#

ppl going slayer/colossus

#

do u just prefer slayer?

wind hatch
sacred summit
#

gotcha

#

do u just go the m+ slayer build

wind hatch
#

i only like playing colossus if there's isnt really a choice

sacred summit
#

u do colossus in keys?

wind hatch
wind hatch
sacred summit
#

so arms just doesnt use whirlwind ever then huh

wind hatch
#

whirlwind is a meme button rn lol

sacred summit
#

is arms targetcapped the same way fury is

nova marsh
#

na

rose ibex
#

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

sacred summit
# nova marsh na

arent cleave, smash, and demolish 8target cap with reduced damage beyond 8

nova marsh
#

But that's not the same way fury is

sacred summit
sacred zodiac
#

and tc/tb is soft capped to 5 so they're technically similar ye

short crescent
#

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

sacred zodiac
#

cleave slams due to some talent

short crescent
#

ah okay

amber nymph
#

How is arms holding up compared to fury? IcyVeins puts it a couple tiers down for raiding

short crescent
#

Must be missing that

sacred zodiac
smoky kayak
nova marsh
short crescent
#

ah I see it now, cleave uses slam if it hits 3+ targets

amber nymph
sacred zodiac
#

you are fine to play arms

smoky kayak
#

Lightblinded is really good for Arms
Crown, Belo'ren, and Midnight Falls are all decent

sacred zodiac
#

unless you're wf/hof raiding you can play whatever you want

amber nymph
#

Yeah probably true, I’m not pushing any limits with my gameplay so I’ll probably just as effective/ineffective lol

sacred zodiac
#

then you should definitely play the spec you enjoy most

smoky kayak
amber nymph
#

I’m relatively new to WoW, just saw a lot of people saying “arma is dead in midnight”

smoky kayak
#

so it's not like your raid is really losing anything by not playing Fury

smoky kayak
amber nymph
#

Oops

nova marsh
smoky kayak
#

Arms has gotten buffed a few times, and the last three fights being basically all single target helps

amber nymph
#

How’s the rotation? Can a pea-brain pick it up?

smoky kayak
#

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 KEKWlaughslow

sacred zodiac
nova marsh
#

Please throw me

smoky kayak
amber nymph
#

What about in dungeons? Fury is better for clear?

smoky kayak
#

Arms is good in high sustained cleave

#

pretty mid in single target, but that's not the majority of keys

amber nymph
#

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

thorn stream

Cleave also slams so keep that in mind

is that correct?

for raid build

nova marsh

But probally yes

mortal crag
#

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

lime owl
#

just a quick question, slayer pulls ahead in overall dps?

#

in m+

sacred zodiac
#

i dont think it does but it probably does more relevant damage

pulsar frost
#

Its much better ST

lime owl
#

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 🙁

nova marsh
#

Because colo is cursed to forever be an aoe spec and nothing else

lime owl
#

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? 😄

pulsar frost
#

Should still be able to do above tank tho

lime owl
#

protection paladins wreck me :/

sacred zodiac
#

i really dont wanna say it but skill issue

#

are you getting ilvl gapped or

lime owl
#

could be

#

nope

lime owl
pulsar frost
#

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

lime owl
#

true but my overall damage is still kinda meh

#

gear and stats should be oke, must be missing something but don't see it

pulsar frost
#

For slayer? I dont think its much different besides prio sd procs

lime owl
#

if someone wanna help do some test runs on dummies, i'm all for it 😄

leaden garnet
#

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?

nova marsh
#

it's 5 sec per proc.

wind hatch
#

cs is what matters

leaden garnet
#

I see, I see

pastel stirrup
#

hey guys what are you using to track sweeping strikes

leaden garnet
#

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

quiet bramble
#

Is mastery even good? Damn sim leaning toward it deadge

cerulean onyx
#

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...

bitter kestrel
#

Colo ST is going up right? Then I'd think slayer wouldn't be played much

quiet bramble
#

Slayer is being played more now

nova marsh
#

And it's not terrible

quiet bramble
nova marsh
#

well then second question

#

are you simming with potion of reck

fierce wharf
#

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?

minor gust
leaden garnet
#

Vers currently wants to be as low as possible, and being at literally zero is ideal

nova marsh
minor gust
#

Yeah, there's a lot that can still happen so we'll see. But from what fish she has shared slayer's looking fine

nova marsh
#

How much of a loss is it actually

minor gust
nova marsh
#

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

minor gust
#

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

quiet bramble
#

Looks like orc has the best slam animation? Downward slash which is how slam suppose to be? keks

minor gust
#

Holy speech to text was terrible there

nova marsh
#

oh so does slayer just loose aoe wounds?

minor gust
#

20% bladestorm buff

#

Yeah, there is no way to AOE apply wounds as Slayer Colossus has demolish at least

nova marsh
#

that's....very odd

#

But I can see the angle

minor gust
#

I mean look at it this way. That's one less AOE talent

nova marsh
#

Ye

#

They want Colo to be bleed focused

minor gust
#

And they can tune bleeds in a way to make Colossus bleeds. Feel really good and for bleeds to be impactful for single Target

pulsar frost
#

im starting to think the glvoes from seat doesnt exist

minor gust
#

The gloves are whatever. Just play the game and eventually you'll get them. Unless you have alleria neck then yeah you need them

astral yarrow
#

just shoot warrior and redesign please

#

it needs god

nova marsh
#

we've been saying this since dragonflight at the least

#

df was serviceable as most of it felt coherent in some kind of way

sacred zodiac
astral yarrow
#

lets then kill off rage gen on everything

astral yarrow
#

actually, just let me have the paladin man to do it

#

whoever does warrior right now needs to not touch it further

minor gust
sacred zodiac
#

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

astral yarrow
#

but it was good

minor gust
#

That's the only way to do it for modern arms

boreal remnant
minor gust
astral yarrow
#

somewhat

wind hatch
quiet bramble
minor gust
#

Too much random bullshit to rage gen to make it consistent and balanced

boreal remnant
astral yarrow
#

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

minor gust
#

Pref they need to just do a full redesign to arms and our relationship with rage. But we know that will never happen

astral yarrow
#

straight up pulling vanguard and being rage starved in lust is fucking illegal

boreal remnant
#

but you do good damage at least

astral yarrow
#

let swing timer continue through demolish

#

minor things like that will go a long way

minor gust
#

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

astral yarrow
#

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

quiet bramble
#

Mid blow

astral yarrow
#

not a single logical though behind any of the shit changes they are doing

#

MS doing either 0 or a million

minor gust
#

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

astral yarrow
#

getting giga nerfed because of fight design in nerubar

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 2 targets, cast with three stacks of Collateral

#

okay thanks

leaden ice

#

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?

leaden garnet
#

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

leaden ice
#

it won't allign always sadly, so sometimes you just keep sending it until it resyncs automatically

fierce wharf
#

it's honestly so fucking fun from the 2 keys I did.

leaden ice
#

you need to get a feel for it

#

My thought is: if in doubt, send your cooldowns xd

fierce wharf
#

okay bet, just doing more keys/timing undertood.

leaden ice
#

99% of the times when I'm not sure to hold I regret holding them 😄

fierce wharf
#

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

minor gust
fierce wharf
#

and with the incoming changes, col looks gnarly as fuck lol

leaden garnet
#

The colo changes help ST more than AoE

minor gust
fierce wharf
leaden garnet
#

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

fierce wharf
#

but col genuinely seems so sick, the lock of demolish can be big stinky, but it's such a satisfying press

leaden garnet
fierce wharf
#

hit 90 4 hours ago, and hit 246 before playing my DH w/ the boys, so just waiting to get back on that fella

minor gust
#

The wowhead build for slayer is good. There's only one potential trade you could do and that's dropping ME for powerful sweep

fierce wharf
minor gust
#

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

leaden garnet
#

Do you get extra CDR if you're at max stacks of imminent demise?

nova marsh
#

REad first slayer talent

leaden garnet
nova marsh
#

Yes

#

It used to be called slayer's mark

leaden garnet
#

Oooooh, I see where it is

#

-5s per stack of Executioner

nova marsh
#

yeah

pastel stirrup
#

I wish they would remove slam

#

And just bake in the damage to MS

leaden garnet
#

So that Arms wouldn't have any GCDs to press?

nova marsh
#

I honestly don't think that'd flow well

#

You run out of OP and afk

leaden garnet
#

^^

nova marsh
#

You'd just afk even more often but now we probally don't have any rage issues

leaden garnet
#

At least we'd have plenty of GCDs to press IP

pastel stirrup
#

Give us more rage or higher vhance to reset MS

leaden garnet
#

:)

nova marsh
#

I'd rather just keep slam and give us more rage

pastel stirrup
#

Its such an akward button to press

nova marsh
#

Honestly I feel like part of it

#

Is the new tacti system is kinda bad

pastel stirrup
#

Have you guys been raiding?

#

With arms*

nova marsh
#

I'm a retired raider

pastel stirrup
#

Its been lackluster for me im hovering around 8-12 spots on dps

whole kettle
#

261 ilvl and still wearing 3 blue pieces, rings literally don't exist. Are they a decent 2nd craft after weapon?

pastel stirrup
#

Been running slayer instead of collosus

nova marsh
#

Yeah it looks great for keys

pastel stirrup
#

Out 4th set sucks ass tho outside aoe

#

Why couldnt we get something cooler sheesh

whole kettle
#

If you're running crushing combo the 4pc is sick

#

oh 'outside aoe' I am dumb

pastel stirrup
#

Yeah i can see that but outaide aoe it literally does nothing

smoky kayak
whole kettle
#

A couple extra GCDs of 35% more dmg isn't that bad imo

#

especially with good tactitian procs and stuff

smoky kayak
#

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
minor gust
#

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

pastel stirrup
sharp eagle
#

Mortal strike also extends the duration

pastel stirrup
smoky kayak
#

or rather the first half I guess

minor gust
#

reading hard for warrior players. More news at 11

pastel stirrup

#

with Mortal Strike or Cleave

wind hatch
pastel stirrup
#

I think its just poorly worded to be honest

smoky kayak
#

yeah a little bit, but it's hard to write succinct tooltips that are also grammatically clear

minor gust
#

you arent the first to get confused about that

#

so yeah would agree

minor ivy
minor ivy
#

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?

minor gust
#

Many people thought you had to somehow hit 3 targets with MS to get it to work

smoky kayak
#

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 DogeLaugh

minor gust
#

real

smoky kayak
#

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

fierce wharf
#

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

minor ivy

has arms pulled ahead of fury for raid?

if your raid has a bunch of padders, yeah

also a good arms warrior will probably just outperform someone just trying to play the best spec

#

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

#

Hi. As arms slayer in m+ Single target does MS have higher prio than SD Execute?

pastel stirrup
#

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

zealous sphinx
#

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?

misty wind
zealous sphinx
#

ohh lol

#

thanks

manic bear
#

may I know which talent that reduce demolish CDs?

hearty pollen
#

For m+ slayer should I be keeping Cleave on CD regardless of anything else

If only

dire hinge

That would be so nice having demolish on AM instead of separate

dire hinge

have them actually line up 😭

dire hinge
#

of course!

manic bear
#

hard to line up with war break >avatar and demolish

dire hinge
#

with arms, you want to hold all of your other cooldowns and send them with the next Colossus Smash

hushed pine
manic bear
#

usually I saw is WB>demolish or avatar with demolish

lean geode
#

@minor gust I gotta admit slarms in M+ actually feels pretty deece

minor gust
#

Another one converted

lean geode
#

Colossus still feels like trash

#

And that's the one I'm gonna have to play in raid

dire hinge
lean geode
#

Surely I can play thane on paladins and it's not inting too hard right

manic bear
#

slayer build or colossus better? I like slayer more coz is easiler

dire hinge
#

for M+ you can play either one, it doesn't matter

lean geode
#

(play slayer)

dire hinge
#

for Raid, you play different ones based on the boss

manic bear
#

oic. I am still figure out how to land my CDs on raid

I did some slarms keys today and it was sick

minor gust

Come my children enjoy the peak that is slarms

Slayer has no jugg

So we fuckin BALL

manic bear

do we press cleave when proc on single target?

not perfect, but it's an interesting way to see data

manic bear
hushed pine

No wonder Executes feel so meh sometimes

nova marsh
#

I wish they didn't do executioner and just buffed baseline exe

hushed pine
#

Yeah I don't like Executioner either

#

Marked for Execution was way better

nova marsh
#

Its not offensively bad like jugg

#

But I think its missing juice

hushed pine
#

Because it's just a 3% increase

#

Goes up to 3 stacks

#

So it's not feeling as impactful

#

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?

dire hinge
#

you've been able to have 2 embelishments since the system was invented iirc

whole kettle
#

I always thought weapon embellish took both slots

dire hinge
#

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

hello, can you send me guys rotation for AoE and ST for arms slayer? I saw many rotations and they arę all different

dire hinge
#

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

dire hinge
#

if you're playing Slayer and in Single Target yes

elfin lily

I must have more trust for wowhead, thank you Hrothmar 🙂

ig bro

scarlet cedar

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

dire hinge
#

begone thot

limber valve
#

you were too slow i clicked on the link and already sent them $100

dire hinge
#

my larger plan worked then excellent (im the bot)

scarlet cedar
#

are there any skills that can be combined in a macro for Arms?

dire hinge
#

but the WoWhead guide probably has it right, if you just pipe in the situtation you're facing

dire hinge
#

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.

scarlet cedar
#

roger, thanks, just gotta make room then

scarlet cedar
#

nvm found it

dire hinge
#

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

scarlet cedar
#

aye, cheers man, appreciate it - been nonstop fury but I want to learn arms

dire hinge
#

Bladestorm and Demolish can be put on the same button, since you won't use both on the same build

tardy cypress
#

How about avatar and cs?
Avatar is off gcd, right?

rare kite
#

yes but in some occations you want to save ava but send cs

dire hinge
#

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

hollow wave

I think Blizzard missed a big opportunity to make demolish a part combo of colossus smash

Does the prio change on AOE for slayer? After BS cds opener should I spam Cleave?

minor gust

latent moss

colo bursts pretty hard

#

both are pretty bad in low keys tho

#

imo

latent moss
#

i lowk dont understand slayer

#

didnt starve at all got perma sd in exe gg

torn rivet
#

i think it's for sd stacks

#

i think tho, don't take me for granted cuz im clueless too

pulsar frost
#

I've been cleaving after BS. Just cleaving 4 times before BS doesnt feel good imo

misty bison
#

Should be BS first to apply the dmg amp stacks imo

pulsar frost
#

I also cant go back to col after slayer. Brain just cant regain the memory of col KEKW

torn rivet
#

but yeah, my guess is we spam cleaves before BS to get SD stacks to make BS stronger

pulsar frost
#

I just dont like thinking about the desync of cds from that

torn rivet
#

I mean... they desync anyway based on SD procs

#

i dont always have CS and bs aligned

pulsar frost
#

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

torn rivet
#

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

latent moss
torn rivet
#

besides im pretty sure for slayer, bladestorm is send always at 3 stacks, whether CS or not

latent moss
#

then u bs while cleave is on cd

Hm

Ms does indeed suck. Not too bad on slayer tho

torn rivet

ehhh

unique bridge

The thing where we have to overpower twice before MS is gone right?

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

pulsar frost

nah bro im below 30 rage perma as slayer

torn rivet
#

yea when I see MS hitting 26k

in execute

it makes me want to shove a rod in my ass

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

torn rivet
#

Lol

#

arms moment

latent moss
#

unlucky just crit more

torn rivet
#

yea at this point i think maximum crit and 50-50 haste mast is the way to go

pulsar frost
#

I can only get so much crit. I mainly play and gear for fury deadge

torn rivet
#

man c'mon, fuck that

pulsar frost
#

My weapon has no crit

torn rivet
#

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

pulsar frost
#

Idk. Arms in raid besides light sounds not fun at all

torn rivet
#

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

pulsar frost
#

I dont mythic raid like that so no matter to me

torn rivet
#

wait we talking mythic?

pulsar frost
#

I enjoy keys more tho

#

Well in mythic it matters more then hero for sure

torn rivet
#

my man

#

i aint ever seen mythic raiding with pugs

#

and I don't think I will. Maybe voidspire will be a first

pulsar frost
#

Well even more so. Guild doesnt really raid mythic like that till maybe later in the season

torn rivet
#

I mean sure..you most likely will not be #1 dps as arms

#

BUT it is still Arms

pulsar frost
#

Even more so. What can I do about it. Vault gave me myrh weapon. It has mastery verse

torn rivet
pulsar frost
#

It is what it is okayge

torn rivet
#

damn

#

i mean, i think myth weap sims lower than crafted weap for arms

#

:D

#

for fury too probably

pulsar frost
#

Crafted was haste mastery due to gearing for fury

torn rivet
#

thats still okay

pulsar frost
#

But its fine. Arms isnt too bent on secondary stafs

torn rivet
#

really what u craft it with doesn't matter

#

you can swap items around yknow

#

Like crit cake still popping off with his fury stats

torn rivet

ur not forced to follow the BiS list from wowhead or something

what I wanna say is, you can still do something decent like 800crit 600haste 600 mastery

and it should work for fury too

the MFalls weapon in particular, despite being out of reach till prog is over, is very good for Arms due to being all haste
