Based show btw

minor gust
#

it always did

magic canopy
#

so ive written it off forever

mortal crag
#

Always has been

thick kelp
#

always has showed for me

minor gust
#

been able to track HS with slam since beta

mortal crag
#

Bro is playing the last titan expac

magic canopy
#

idk man it just never tracked properly and early on slam wasnt even in the CDM

#

so i just wrote it off

#

if its in now dont need dookie macro

#

spec slow enough as is

pastel stirrup
#

how much of an increase is the tier set giving us on dps?

minor gust
#

0pc - 4pc is like 9 or 11%

strange basalt
#

in cleave/aoe situation do we prioritize heroic strike at all?

thick kelp
#

no

strange basalt
thick kelp
#

3+T you follow aoe rota

#

1-2T you follow st rota

strange basalt
#

gotcha

#

im coming from fury

#

thinking about switching

#

arms seems more fun anyways

minor gust
#

Midnight fury is an L

kind stag
#

aw cmon

thick kelp
#

Slarms is an L

minor gust
kind stag
#

slayer fury is my fav warrior atm

minor gust
#

after an entire expansion of colo M+ I will accept and love this slayer break

strange basalt
minor gust
#

feels good to be free from demolish for now

strange basalt
#

both colossus and slayeer arms is fun tho

#

but the ST is kinda dumb

kind stag
#

i prefer fury because i dont have to nuke my ST to do Aoe

#

but both are cool

strange basalt
violet steeple
strange basalt
#

it still does good aoe

kind stag
#

good aoe, bad aoe, good, clunky, bad

minor gust
violet steeple
#

It's like the dead opposite of last xpacs slarms

kind stag
#

ive heard so many different things about slarms

violet steeple
#

Fuckin 18 things light up at once it just feels wrong

dire venture
#

Geared what is everyones single target dps? I feel like Im not doing much.

minor gust
#

thats uh ur UI problem xD

violet steeple
#

I know it's simple in practice but it feels stupid and looks stupid, colo flows better imo

#

Demolish also feels arms-like idk

late yarrow
#

How to track sweeping strikes?

tender plaza
#

can't wait to colo spec into ST raid bosses

strange basalt
#

i think colo is def more clunky than slayer

minor gust
#

everyones got their own weird definition of clunky

lone raft
#

I agree, the cds not aligning is a big pain point for arms for me

#

slayer flows more smooth imo

kind stag
#

colo feels clunky to me, demolish feels good to press sure but cooldowns and how you need to watch certain buffs, bleeds and cd reductioins is just

lone raft
#

just proc dependent

violet steeple
#

Yeah it's just preferences

lone raft
#

I think slayer is fine how it is in terms of flow, Imm too noob to speak about how it should function and honestly cleave needs to be baseline for arms

kind stag
#

i really like slayer imo

#

i just think arms is still in need of cooking imo

lone raft
#

regardless of that, colo needs cds to line up better because it is why the tempo of fury feels nice

#

u always get reck and avatar together

icy atlas
#

Make it not reliant on Skyfury for smooth rage gen lol

kind stag
#

holy that feels bad

#

arms gotta jump through 20 hoops

#

meanwhile ret paladins smashing 3 buttons

#

cmon

lone raft
#

it just feels bad to have to wait those 10 more seconds but this new ptr patch if it goes live should address that

kind stag
#

can also make you blow it early at times, resulting in cd drift again

#

i dont think it changes much

lone raft
#

last thing I think all of our spenders should apply rend

#

like cleave and MS

kind stag
#

yeah rend shouldnt exist as a button anymore

lone raft
#

it’s like having to press a separate freeze button on mage

#

so redundant

tender plaza
#

didnt they remove or plan to remove the "cleave crit strikes apply rend" ?

icy atlas
#

Took it away in MoP, made MS apply it passively

minor gust
lone raft
#

it’s like hey mortal strike is this big 2hander damge but don’t forget to do your spiny thing with your dagger to make sure they bleed

#

this fits 2handed warriior class fantasy perfectly, the designer is out of touch

icy atlas
#

Sometimes I can’t tell if I hit Rend. Almost no visual or audio feedback lol

restive ledge
kind stag
#

just make a cool bleed that hits whenever you hit mortal strike and its ok everyone happy

#

honestly now that i remember how annoying rend is i think ill stick to fury for now teehee

#

whatya guys think about arms post this seasons tier bonus?

#

they defo gotta change the spec for next tier

lone raft
#

It’s really not that bad

#

and I think MS already does reapply rend on ur primary targt

#

but it should apply to all targets

kind stag
lone raft
#

they also are buffing the range by 2yds

#

and it’s uncapped aoe too

#

not sure I know something does

kind stag
#

yeah below 35% ms does rend too

blissful tree
#

how can i sim an execute phase? sim starts with boss hp at 35 %? is there an input?

mortal crag
#

but on actual dummies i do anywhere from 220 to 250k

#

huh

minor gust
#

because dummies in sims dont lose hp

#

dummies these days are stuck at 0 hp so ME cleaves are putting in work

mortal crag
#

TRUEEE

#

ty

tender plaza
#

so all in all, tldr, if one does wanna try arms if got bored of fury

#

slayer -> ST fights
colosus -> M+ and Vanguard

mortal crag
#

slayer can m+ too

tender plaza
#

oh ye

mortal crag
#

arguably better than colo

#

cuz its a giant ST gap

#

like, disgusting

#

my colo sims like barely 61k ST

#

my slayer sims like 76k

tender plaza
#

colo would fit if you got the other 1 or 2 dps in group ST focused or somehow strong

mortal crag
#

y

#

mass aoe keys with funnel on bosses

thick kelp
#

6%

#

giant

#

:(

kind stag
#

slayer arms im ok with but collo feels disconnected to me

icy atlas
#

Tank would have to pull adds onto bosses for Colossus to not feel like griefing

thick kelp
#

vs 25% gain in aoe to play colo

#

hnmmgg

kind stag
#

demolish is a fun button but aligning stuff and managing 3 different buffs together with rend doesnt feel fun

mortal crag
#

@thick kelp is light company better than puzzlebox for slayer??

kind stag
#

compared to mash whirlwind and rampage and pop yo stuff

mortal crag
#

sims higher in 5min ST

mortal crag
mortal crag
#

ye

#

the haste

thick kelp
#

i think it lines up better for both hero specs

kind stag
#

idk thane just pops stuff super fast, avatar and reck go together

thick kelp
#

but for me it loses to pbox myth

mortal crag
#

i just hate using puzzle mid boss or really.. anywhere that isnt pre pull

#

its 266 puzzle vs 266 guide

thick kelp
#

ig ur low haste or what

#

maybe im low mastery

#

but its a legit good trink for arms

mortal crag
#

nope

#

im not

#

im fury gear so

#

impos

thick kelp
#

it sims suprr good for cone too

#

so im not suprised

mortal crag
#

i have double ring btw

thick kelp
#

i think it linesup better than pbox

mortal crag
#

do i play it

#

from nexus

thick kelp
#

idk its not that good

#

like 0.3% overall?

#

more st i think over some junk but

mortal crag
#

dry stats btw (i only have oil on)

#

which made my haste go from 23 to 24

thick kelp
#

ur crits kinda low

mortal crag
#

yh like i said

#

fury gear

thick kelp
#

both me and cone have around 33-35%

torn rivet
#

its expected to have more on full raw stats?

thick kelp
#

im just comparing our stat pallets

#

at similar ilvls

mortal crag
#

273 feels so low

#

🥲

#

no raid gear

thick kelp
#

I am at 277

#

barely sny raid gear

icy atlas
#

Probably why crit is so high :p

#

Stacked as much as I could and got to 29% at 271

strange basalt
#

how do you sim arms on raidbots? Is it similar to simming fury since its basically just your ST cleaving?

#

so should i just sim patchwerk?

heroic strike goes just below cleave in this priority or the one in wowhead is correct?

#

Hey lads. What's the generally accepted cutoff to hold BS for Csmash? Sometimes if I dont get procs I have like... 20 seconds left before Csmash comes online. Dunno if I should hold it or just let it rip.

#

Cause I remember someone mentioning its not great to rip BS without smash up

dull tendon
#

It’s close to like 30 seconds isn’t it?

#

I think with the current low CD of colo you just always hold BS for it and never hold a Csmash for anything unless you won’t get full value cause of immune or mechanics

sand totem
dull tendon
#

Someone with a greater mind than mine may tell you different but I believe that is what you do.

#

Like I think the value loss for no Csmash on BS is pretty hefty

#

And Csmash is up every 2 seconds these days

stupid noob arms question: Why doesnt m+ slayer build take Thunderclap to apply rend? I feel like looking at the tree we can quite easily lose out on wrecking throw and take it

tawny stream
#

right, but does thunder clap not do more dmg ? I am coming from thane fury so idk

#

im just asking because I dont think ive ever used wrecking throw LOL

slender sonnet

wt good

Its a nice piece of utility

kind thunder

tawny stream
#

Thank you!

kind thunder
#

why do we prio heroic strike more on execute window?

nova marsh
kind thunder
#

do we not press it at all on aoe?

soft gust
#

No

#

cleave with fervor of battle casts it for you, empowers it too

kind thunder
soft gust
#

👍

stark pike
#

Do we follow ST rotation exactly in 2 target cleave?

#

Or use cleave more often

nova marsh
#

Use cleave with collateral is my understanding

#

@minor gust you got me on slayer

stark pike
#

collateral?

nova marsh
#

Did one +2 and im hooked

minor gust
#

Amen

You'll know because cleave glows

#

How big of a ST loss is losing reap from sudden death?

quiet bramble
vapid spire
#

So blizzard is starring at us in silence this week ?

umbral badger
#

it's the only thing that makes arms AoE fun, makes mortal strikes feel more juicy after suddendeath reaps 😮

timid elk
#

For single I thought yes? They added it back if SD hits two targets via sweeping

umbral badger
#

ahh

#

ok then we good

#

i thought they wanna remove it all even in aoe

timid elk
#

Nah they backpedaled a bit

terse plume
#

yeah the first iteration was terrible

#

and they made it more focused into aoe

quiet bramble
#

Yes, no one at blizz plays wwarrior

terse plume
#

so now when you cleave sudden death it procs it 100% and then it still triggers on MS or something right

#

when its also cleaved

timid elk
#

It'd be cool if they had single target SD proc a slayer's strike in ST though

umbral badger
#

i mean blizzard not understanding how popularity works is next level, the weakness of the spec put it in all populariy low "at least up there if not of all times i would assume ?"

timid elk
#

So SD just procs a thing respective of ST or cleave

quiet bramble
#

AI taking joke feedbacks for class balance xeos

umbral badger
#

it's like you can be warrior number 50 and get like a blue parse cuz of how few arms warriros are playing lol

terse plume
#

ah its cleave

umbral badger
#

i saw someoen t alking about it , was funny.

terse plume
#

cleave now procs reap instead of ms

#

thats what it was

#

when it hits 3 targets

quiet bramble
#

Damn, what’s the ideal haste and crit, 19% haste still feels slow

cyan skiff
#

is there a consensus on which season dungeons for slayer vs col?

minor gust
#

its mostly about what your comp is not really the dungeon

#

does your group benefit from more ST play slayer. If you already got some boss blasters and maybe your in a cordinated group whos gonna pull trash onto bosses play colo

pastel stirrup
#

Im going to miss crushing combo 3 cleave

#

I was reading the ptr change notes and it says it increases the reap the storm chance to 20% but the live reap the storm is already at 20%

nova marsh
#

For ptr

#

Then buffed back

minor gust
#

Eww I messed up on saladbar and didnt BS pad on the lil orb spawns

#

My tanks are special

pastel stirrup
#

So the ptr change is meaningless

nova marsh
#

That's not the reap change

#

The change is it's no longer proccing on st

#

That's the change that matters

pastel stirrup
#

That suck ass

#

If reap wont proc on st

nova marsh
#

Combine with the other PTR changes it's about a 1% loss for st

#

But prayers we get a round of tuning before it goes live

pastel stirrup
#

I dont understand why we are getting nerfed when we arent even in the top

#

Catching strays

nova marsh
#

The intention isn't a nerf

#

Like at all

pastel stirrup
#

Oh?

nova marsh
#

It's to make us easier to tune for aoe and ST

#

Or that's what we've been hoping

#

And we got to keep Exe reap too (THANK GOD)

pastel stirrup
#

Honeslty it would be terrible to lose reap on any of the abilities that trigger it

#

Slayer is super fun dont change it blizz

wind hatch
nova marsh
#

I don't think reap changes so long as we actually do get tuning are bad now

#

well

#

for arms

#

For fury it's uhhh...

smoky kayak
#

Fury will also be fine, as long as it gets some compensatory ST tuning

#

in fact, Fury Slayer is probably changing the least in 12.0.5

timid elk
#

Just have SD proc slayer strike if one target hit or proc reap if two targets hit, ez

minor gust
#

DW on slam help counter act the loss of reap

nova marsh
#

I forgot

smoky kayak
#

it procs off Rampage or Sudden Death that hits multiple targets

nova marsh
#

Oh so it's fine ye

pastel stirrup
#

Fuck me im getting scared for the tuning

smoky kayak
#

yeah, and Slayer is also getting 20% increased Bladestorm damage, so all it's losing is the ST Reap procs

pastel stirrup
#

Its my first time progging with arms and will hate it so much if they make it bad

smoky kayak
#

there are a lot of things they could do to compensate that, though I'm shooting for a Slayer's Malice buff (for both Arms and Fury)

nova marsh
#

I mean

#

Our ST is...iffy

minor gust
smoky kayak
#

I mean that would be the simplest way of just buffing ST

minor gust
#

yee

#

Colo Mythic dragons time for me

magic canopy

minor gust
#

smelly demolish

wind hatch
#

arms is playing colo on dragons?

smoky kayak
#

I like the Slayer's Malice route because it works for both Arms and Fury

  • Arms Slayer is losing some multitarget, so pushing up Overpower/DN will help and Execute also helps keep its ST ahead of Colossus (which brings much more AoE)
  • Fury Slayer would gain RB and Execute damage, which is mostly ST oriented, but will also help push up its AoE a bit, since it generaly lags behind Thane anyway
nova marsh
#

Unironically

smoky kayak
#

and doing it through the Slayer passive will avoid messing with Colossus/Thane balance

wind hatch
minor gust
nova marsh
#

I think aside from demo being able to be tank trolled (Why blizzard), the only thing I hate about colo is ravager

smoky kayak
wind hatch
#

i cant afford to pad cuz my dps do no damage sadge

nova marsh
smoky kayak
#

if they would commit to just deleting Ravager form the game, I think Colossus would be damn near perfect

nova marsh
#

Yeah I agree.

#

I'd like a tad more ST, but I don't feel like the boss damage is a real dealbreaker

smoky kayak
#

I still don't like Crushing Combo, but I can live with it

#

Ravager needs to go

smoky kayak
nova marsh
smoky kayak
#

and if they replace Ravager with something a lil more universal, like I've suggested, then it could pick up another couple percent

  • one of the (many) issues with Ravager is that it only affects multitarget
minor gust
#

Pray for the colossus smash does 500% increased dmg node

#

Make CS do dmg again

nova marsh
#

I could see that working for colo

minor gust
#

Would def let colo keep its burst aoe feel

marsh needle
#

can someone check this log for me, trying to figure out why my damage was so low

#

was it just low add damage? our adds were really messed up

#

my damage is usually pretty good, including our heroic kill was fine

minor gust
#

just inting your dmg there

marsh needle
#

but yeah it doesnt seem to be worth!

nova marsh
minor gust
#

theres not really anything worth padding on voracious

wind hatch
#

holding for adds on vorasius is generally not worth it unless theres just a couple secs left

nova marsh
#

CS's CD assuming good uptime is like 20~ seconds irrc

minor gust
#

Focus on hitting the boss also your cds are super desynced

marsh needle
#

looking at top logs my breakdown is simlar, it just seems like i was holding stuff too much for adds

minor gust
#

pressing Ava and BS without CS up on boss

marsh needle
#

at least always hold bladestorm for adds tho?

nova marsh
#

For volo no

marsh needle
wind hatch
#

bladestorm is too valuable with the tier set

marsh needle
#

i thought that was the max we waited?

minor gust
marsh needle
#

SO P much I just need to stop holding anything? And send on CD. Got it lol

minor gust
#

send on cd and ava/cs shouldnt really desync that hard

marsh needle
#

Just been looking thru a lot of logs on certain fights a lot of people seem to be holding cd's for certain damage events

minor gust
#

depends how long the hold is and how much value you get out of it

#

if you hare holding cds to hit adds for like 3 seconds

#

thats not worth

wind hatch
minor gust
#

unless obviously you are hitting 20 adds like mythic dragons

wind hatch
#

but the adds on vorasius are not frequent or numerous enough to really worry about

#

just try to get passive cleave with sweeping strikes

#

I wish Ignore pain was useful

Hello all, my single target damage (m+ collosal spec) is absolutely atrocious lol, any tips?

Yeah, aside from that lol

Could help more if you showed us a log so we can tell what you're doing wrong

most ppl are playing slayer in M+ now

but ur ST dmg will be bad as colossus

Gotcha, I just went with Colossus because it said (best) next to it for m+

#

On the wowhead guide

slayer is def easier, less thinking required

If your sick of colo now is the time to play slayer while you still can

#

you also don't have to futz with Demolish if that's something that tilts you

half lichen
#

Yeah im just struggling bad lol doing like 30k single target but can pull solid damage generally AoE, issue is boss fights are long enough ESPECIALLY with me doing such little ST that it really tanks my overall, but yeah I assume I need to keep rend up better and there's somwthing else I must be doing wrong

Where does heroic strike fit into the aoe rotation for arms?

paper gulch
#

Heroic strike activates from cleaving 3 targets

zealous lily
#

at how many targets do we switch to the aoe rotation 3+?

quiet bramble
#

3 targets lol

zealous lily
#

alrighty lol

#

in single target i imagine cleave is used between 20% adn 35%?

new to arms, is there a way to activate sweeping strikes without actually pressing it? im watching a vod and the ability activates without pressing it, maybe it's an UI bug but im thinking if there's an ability that procs sweeping

So extra xringe

are the magic bladestorms from the assholes at the end of algathar new?

and then throwing in a bleed on the plants is cool too

#

Yeah aa is a totally different beast nowadays

Anyone know of a reminder addon of some kind that tells you to rend lmao?

i keep forgetting to press rend on pull in dungeons since i'm practicing arms for vanguard

ocean nacelle
#

hi, perhaps anyone could explain, why on paladins when we are cleaving only 2 bosses we are prioritizing cleave over standard colossus ST rotation with SS?

upbeat wharf
#

When in execute range, if I already have two stacks of Execution's Precision, and I don't have enough rage to cast Mortal Strike, do I use Execute again and overcap Execution's Precision stacks, or wait for enough rage to cast Mortal Strike?

Is it normal that i can keep up in damage in trash pulls in mythic+ but on ST i just do half of the damage of other classses?

im curious about something

I need to get better with arms I suck

gusty oxide
#

put the one button rotation on your bar as a guide but press the actual spell. monkahmm

maiden apex
#

As arms slayer single target we don't use execute outside of sudden death procs right?

untold pewter
slender raptor
#

In higher m+ keys, do you guys prefer slayer or colossus?

tight wing
#

slayer just doesn't feel as clunky imo

molten rapids
#

Do i want my reck pot to give me crit or haste as slayer arms in m+?

maiden apex

#

Mortal Strike shouldn't be used before 2 stacks of EP, which is different from the regular rotation

#

Honestly the TLDR is basically

maiden apex
#

EP? Sorry im new.

untold pewter
#

Execute 2x -> Check for Heroic Strike -> Check for Overpower (If <90 rage) -> Mortal Strike (with 2x EP)

So it'll usually look like
Execute Execute Overpower Mortal Strike
Or like
Execute Execute Heroic Strike Mortal Strike

#

Executioner's Precision, do read your talents mate

maiden apex
#

Ah ofc. But that's not at all what the guide says lol or im just reading it wrong. And this is in execute phase only ofc?

untold pewter
#

Yes execute phase only

strong pine
#

how ass is arms with no Crit ?
Coming from fury wanting to try arms
So i basicly have barely any crtit xD

maiden apex
fresh spire
#

Slayer plays well with fury stats, Colossus will want some crit though to make CM cleaner

strong pine
#

Q_Q

untold pewter
#

In Execute phase only
Heroic Strike is prio #1, you use it any time you get it there
Mortal strike is only used after you've cast Execute 2x (2 stacks of EP), so clock that, in between each mortal strike there should be 2 execute casts
Overpower is used when you're <90 rage

crystal hedge
#

I want to try arms but I hate rend from the bottom of my heart. I don't want to play a bleed spec 🙁 can't they just bake it into cleave or smth

zenith warren
#

sometimes when I do slayer arms aoe opener and spam sd after cleaves, I get reap of the storm procs and it makes me think I already used bladestorm because I was pressing it but it's fake as animation is the same so I end up delaying it like 1-2 seconds xd

fresh spire
untold pewter
#

In normal rotation you will prioritize sending mortal strike on cooldown

#

Pretty much

#

Just MS on cooldown

#

If it's available, press it

maiden apex
#

Ye what I've been doing. Then heroic strike before and sudden death procs

untold pewter
#

In normal rotation, heroic strike and sudden death procs come after mortal strike

#

So you still mortal strike before using those

#

You don't have to worry because they'll buff your next mortal strike cast anyway

#

So don't sit on that Mortal Strike to consume the procs before using it

#

Send it

#

And then send the procs

#

Just clock that this changes in execute
Because heroic strike becomes the priority in execute (the reason is essentially because heroic strike applies the armor break debuff which makes everything else do more damage, so you want to use that asap)

Berserker rage can remove a lot of nasty shit in these dungeons

I actually watched that one yesterday haha. It's kinda hard to understand everything they are doing

I'd love to see a guide from him

But you can always go ask him when he's streaming if you have specific questions after reading the wowhead guides

He just said on stream that he would sit down tomorrow and start a guide, when it comes out he couldnt say

Is the Warrior that currently deals the best DPS in dungeons the Arms spec? And what is its best Hero Talent?

both hero talents are very good

slayer is more st while colo is more aoe and prio dmg

Anyone know why heroic strike is being consumed/used when I use cleave. Playing as Slayer arms

floral tide

It's a talent, can't remember the name atm, but it uses the proc to do more dmg

is it working for mortal and overpower aswell?

Been having fun in keys. And honestly the ST isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It’s still like 10-12k less than I can do as fury but the cleave brother the cleave.

slayer ST is decent - it's colo that struggles a bit

man i always forget to press rend sadgers

i hate that button

it should be removed asap

#

useless button

eager sable
#

i'm even playing feral right now and have no trouble at all upkeeping bleeds. hop on arms, can't remember rend exists

kind stag
#

because its so low impact

#

and it just feels like ass to press it

sharp goblet
#

i mean it's a button, it's not Bin Laden ffs hahahha

fresh spire
#

i haven't even checked on ptr if rends worth pressing yet with the wounds change :C

its just there because blizzard cant decide if arms should be big number big crit spec or bleed

looks fine

floral tide
#

I've been a frost dk Stan for late dragon flight and all of TWW. Friends have been telling me to arms forever because I just like using a 2h and plate classes. Paladins are lame

thick kelp
#

sometimes u throw in unnecessary op and ms

#

after your cleave spam

#

before u bs

#

which means your bs falls out of cs window on some mobs

#

but breakdown is correct looking

rough pewter
#

oh thank you friend

#

so just

#

after cleave spam

#

forget everything

#

blade the fucking storm

thick kelp
#

send your SD's

#

then bs

#

you can technically hold on to 1 SD if it wont fall off during your BS

#

if you happen to get 2 SD procs from cleaves

floral tide
#

SDs and BS? OP?

You cleave spam before bladestorming?

but if i dont have any sd i bs after cleaves the same?

thick kelp

yeah

thank you for the help

but if mostly my log is okey

why warcraft log says my damage is mid?

its not valid

or my ilvl

torpid acorn
sharp goblet
#

only things I dislike about slayer are Rend and SD rng, sometimes I can send bladestorm with 3 cs in a row sometimes I get 1 bs in 3 cs sadga

#

i enjoy Colo a lot, but we need ST (our group) and also fuck ravager

olive nest
slow saddle
#

JUST BUFF MS 20%

#

in both Spec and in tree as well

#

so Colo has big fucking MS hits

half lichen
#

How bad should I realistically expect ST to be in keys, ilvl 256ish 263 ilvl wep and not ideally statted items?

#

Because I see that colo has troubles single target as people are mentioning. I feel im significantly under even whatever we should be able to do lol

rose ibex
sharp goblet
#

well you shouldn't be losing to the tank - but generally compare yourself to similarly geared players of most other specs and subtract like 0-20%

rose ibex
#

Colossus st is terrible

half lichen
#

Im normally like... competing with the tank or beating them by a bit, at 30-40k lol

#

Tank and I had to 2 man first boss in a 9 sky reach last night because healer and other dps decided to die it took a long time lmao

sharp goblet
#

yea it's not THAT bad, it's not tank damage, but you can easily fall to that if you miss uptime, or use abilities suboptimally, don't have tier, etc...

#

but generally, just play slayer, the ST is much nicer, and feels more forgiving

half lichen
#

I have 2 set bonus, idk how big our 4 set is. Juat hit 90 on this alt a day or two ago so

#

Gotcha, yeah ill probably try it out. (Slayer) because I also am pretty upset at not using bladestorm because its BA

thick kelp
sharp goblet
#

i like Avatar more than BS, but it does feel good to press as slayer, and it's 100000x better than ravager

thick kelp
#

Get a tank who pulls the entire key in 3-6 pulls

#

and extra adds on bosses

#

and u parse 100

sharp goblet
#

but genuinelly tell more tanks to pull adds on top of bosses

#

no one does it by default

#

and it's so good

thick kelp
#

massive time saver to pull a pack you would pull anyway with a boss

#

most classes gain something out of it

half lichen
#

Esp since theres normally a bit of time at the start of boss encounters where you aren't dealing with any mechs

thick kelp
#

(not rets)

sharp goblet
#

suddenly every boss feels like Seat second boss

rose ibex
#

I definitely feel like I struggle vs some classes in some pulls

sharp goblet
#

offensively or defensively?

rose ibex
#

Im mostly playing slayer. Its when we do the big giant pulls with lust that classes like frost mage, demo lock, ret pally, and spriest seem to get numbers up to 500k dps and stuff but I can maybe get only about 250k to 300k or whatever

floral tide
#

My biggest issue with arms is deciding when to send abilities that get faster cooldowns... Like BS, should I ever hold it?

#

Same with colossus

rose ibex
#

Like very often its just not safe for me to jump in and start dpsing

olive nest
#

Yeah you want to Bladestorm with colossus smash exclusively

rose ibex
#

So i lose in that sense

sharp goblet
#

you will get outbursted often but warriors have cds constantly, and defensively you are very strong

#

just plonk into defensive stance if you're scared

rose ibex
#

Still, cannot keep up with them usually. Their single target is also better

#

Nah man. Cannot risk dying

#

Thinking about specifically the big pills in agalthar, nexus point, and seat off the rip

thick kelp
#

hold for CS

#

Dont hold CS

#

rule of thumb for your cds

half lichen
#

Yeah the big first AA pull is a bit annoying with demolish lol gotta find the right window and even then tank ahs to kite for bleed

sharp goblet
#

nexus and seat are fairly safe pulls though, no? but i see what you mean, AA is rippy

rose ibex
#

Very often the tank cant get good aggro on everything as they are kiting so you can pull and get popped. Meanwhile rets just bubble and go ham ignoring everything

olive nest
#

You should be lusting the big tree pull in AA so you can demolish fairly easily being hasted

sharp goblet
#

sts is basically bubble for melee adds

rose ibex
sharp goblet
#

not sts, die by the sword

rose ibex
#

Losing dps

half lichen
rose ibex
#

Like my dps isnt terrible for these parts but its not 500k+

sharp goblet
#

maybe watch critcake a bit, see what he does/where he positions? visual generally helps a lot

rose ibex
#

And im at 271 ilvl atm

thick kelp
#

If you struggle with AA first pull just send your cds after everything is gathered and hold demo untill after the first green puddles

rose ibex
#

Oh ive been playing slayer

kind stag
#

i forget sometimes i gotta hold

olive nest
#

It’s not bad to hold the demo anyway because you get stacks for it while waiting for a good timing
Since its first pull you start with none

kind stag
#

whats the cutoff on holding colostrike, demo and bladestorm? 20s and below on avatar i hold it?

thick kelp
#

cs on cd

#

hold the rest for cs

sharp goblet
#

u hold for CS, not Avatar

#

like you should never Demolish / Bladestorm

#

if cs is not up

half lichen
#

Gotcha, yah the guide mentioned at least avatar is pretty meaningless outside of combining with CS

kind stag
#

but how long do i hold? any cutoff on seconds?

half lichen
#

Well i guess I have some stuff i can try to improve on for sure for colossal ST dam, but glad to know its genuinely just had and im not doing like 50% of what I should be somehow

kind stag
#

or just perma hold

olive nest
#

They should never be desyncd in a way where you wouldn’t hold all cds for CS

#

If they are you just miss played somehow

half lichen
#

Plus CS Is half the CD of them so, its kinda hard to be crazy out of sync

#

You slam CS on CD and them with CS where possible it seems

thick kelp
#

they align very naturally anyway

kind stag
half lichen
#

Yeah should just always be every other CS you have the other cds

#

I see Latches hook is our second BIS trinket, I assume we need to be using that after CS as well. Just realized I have it macrod together and being used before CS, need to fix that.

thick kelp
#

Doesnt get affected by cs

storm canopy
#

did the slayer m+ build change? since the buff or nah

brave cape
#

Just tried arms after a long time of playing fury, dunno how to feel, it feels slower, in cleaves more dps than fury but around 20% dps in st as colosus talent tree, any advice?

kind stag
#

colo just has wack ST but giga cleave its how it is

#

if you want more rounded profile go slayer arms

brave cape
kind stag
#

make sure you got classes in group to carry you on ST so you can do crazy cleave for trash pulls

#

i prefer slayer also due to it being way easier

brave cape
kind stag
#

things align better, less rage issues, bladestorm is miles better than ravager

#

ravager is clunky and demolish as strong as it is, is also clunky

kind stag
#

you shouldnt because there are better ppl than me here

am i blind? does the arms guide say when to press cleave over ms in aoe? guess its 4 targets?

river tapir
floral tide
#

Alrighty next dumb question. In ST is it ever smart to hold MS and build up stacks from overpower/execute/slam for a bigger hitting MS or just send it always

latent moss
#

at 2t u do st rota and weave cleave with 3 stacks of collat

hearty sedge
#

yo im new to warrior ( and kinda retail overall) would yall recommend learning arms or fury?

olive nest
#

Are you a person of culture?

#

Because arms is the spec of culture

historically arms it the red head step child for blizz so probably fury

river tapir

#

I hate myself so I've started to learn arms.

olive nest
#

Cooler people play arms

hearty sedge
#

I dont really know xD they both seems quite complicated :3

kind stag
#

honestly both will probably be fine

#

arms is bit harder but still not bad, fury is braindead

olive nest
#

If complicated is what you’re worried about I personally find fury to be a lot easier

kind stag
#

lot of arms players make arms seem harder than it actually is

#

but Fury is way more straightforward

hearty sedge
#

fury might be the play then lol

olive nest

But being fair they’re both about the same “difficulty”

also 2 2handed weapons

colo in m+ is significantly harder than slayer arms and both fury

are addons that call out interrupts or is that killed? I noticed I've been slacking on stuns/interrupts after I set up plater

#

agreed buzt still easier than rogue, feral or havoc dh

idk about feral or havoc but rogues lost their complexity

in slayer m+ are you trying to hold and pair bladestorm/colossus smash or do you just send everything on cd unless theyre a few sec off eachother

also is there a tangible use to the utility part of interpose or does it not matter

Send cs on cd, hold everything else for cs

oh true xd thanks

last question does this also apply to demolish in colossus

Would you rather:
do 20% more damage on random cleaves and mortal strikes
Or buff your damage window by 20%

See the logic?

well it and reap

As colossus, Sometimes you will:
Cs + demo + rav
