it always did
so ive written it off forever
Always has been
always has showed for me
been able to track HS with slam since beta
Bro is playing the last titan expac
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
how much of an increase is the tier set giving us on dps?
0pc - 4pc is like 9 or 11%
in cleave/aoe situation do we prioritize heroic strike at all?
no
👍
gotcha
im coming from fury
thinking about switching
arms seems more fun anyways
Midnight fury is an L
aw cmon
Slarms is an L

slayer fury is my fav warrior atm
after an entire expansion of colo M+ I will accept and love this slayer break
it is fun fs
feels good to be free from demolish for now
slayer arms
Slarms feels absolutely godawful and clunky can confirm
it still does good aoe
good aoe, bad aoe, good, clunky, bad
Clunky? its as smooth and straightforward as ever
It's like the dead opposite of last xpacs slarms
ive heard so many different things about slarms
Fuckin 18 things light up at once it just feels wrong
Geared what is everyones single target dps? I feel like Im not doing much.
thats uh ur UI problem xD
I know it's simple in practice but it feels stupid and looks stupid, colo flows better imo
Demolish also feels arms-like idk
How to track sweeping strikes?
can't wait to colo spec into ST raid bosses
i think colo is def more clunky than slayer
everyones got their own weird definition of clunky
I agree, the cds not aligning is a big pain point for arms for me
slayer flows more smooth imo
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
just proc dependent
Yeah it's just preferences
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
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
Make it not reliant on Skyfury for smooth rage gen lol
true
holy that feels bad
arms gotta jump through 20 hoops
meanwhile ret paladins smashing 3 buttons
cmon
it just feels bad to have to wait those 10 more seconds but this new ptr patch if it goes live should address that
can also make you blow it early at times, resulting in cd drift again
i dont think it changes much
yeah rend shouldnt exist as a button anymore
didnt they remove or plan to remove the "cleave crit strikes apply rend" ?
Took it away in MoP, made MS apply it passively
they are removing Deep wounds from cleave crits
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
Sometimes I can’t tell if I hit Rend. Almost no visual or audio feedback lol
just took that thing that lets thunderclap apply rend lmao
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
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
isnt it when enemy is execute range?
they also are buffing the range by 2yds
and it’s uncapped aoe too
not sure I know something does
yeah below 35% ms does rend too
how can i sim an execute phase? sim starts with boss hp at 35 %? is there an input?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/6BEDSkjCobNQKNfoLcjBHS
tried to do a target dummy sim
but on actual dummies i do anywhere from 220 to 250k
huh
because dummies in sims dont lose hp
dummies these days are stuck at 0 hp so ME cleaves are putting in work
so all in all, tldr, if one does wanna try arms if got bored of fury
slayer -> ST fights
colosus -> M+ and Vanguard
slayer can m+ too
oh ye
arguably better than colo
cuz its a giant ST gap
like, disgusting
my colo sims like barely 61k ST
my slayer sims like 76k
colo would fit if you got the other 1 or 2 dps in group ST focused or somehow strong
slayer arms im ok with but collo feels disconnected to me
Tank would have to pull adds onto bosses for Colossus to not feel like griefing
demolish is a fun button but aligning stuff and managing 3 different buffs together with rend doesnt feel fun
@thick kelp is light company better than puzzlebox for slayer??
compared to mash whirlwind and rampage and pop yo stuff
sims higher in 5min ST
sounds like thane minus the rend part
the 1.5min?
i think it lines up better for both hero specs
idk thane just pops stuff super fast, avatar and reck go together
but for me it loses to pbox myth
i just hate using puzzle mid boss or really.. anywhere that isnt pre pull
its 266 puzzle vs 266 guide
i have double ring btw
i think it linesup better than pbox
ur crits kinda low
both me and cone have around 33-35%
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?
1T for Xmins or 5-8T Xmins
xmins = your aversge pull dura
you use hectic add cleave or dungeon slice for simming for M+ builds
slayer or colo?
heroic strike goes just below cleave in this priority or the one in wowhead is correct?
read your talents you learn a lot!
damn i was wondering the same thing
only 273, 90 myth crests in my bag 
myth weapon craft next week 
for M+ builds do we sim off dung slice or hectic add cleave?
bugged ui right? 🙂
New rings
My man just told you what to do
those are some nice rings tho
Yes they are tasty
Syi with barely any repair money on hand 💀
tertiary king queen
leech is big
I lost all my gold gambling in raid
where does it say patchwerk or dung slice in there?
but I've got 320k coming from boosting and 102k from my friend
I've spent so much gold gearing 3 chars
crazy
tbf my evoker is only 252
but 3 crafted item
is expensive
patchwerk
i set up my own crafters not only to save a bit of gold but also bc im on dead server cluster so its almost impossible find other craftes for orders 🪦
Is there any estimate about how much of a dps loss the PTR is over live?
That should've been me
I'm happy for you
But that should've happened to me instead
I'm catchin up
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
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
No what lmao
That seems like such a long time to hold it! Wowanalyzer already gives me shit for holding it for like 10-15 hahaha
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
just checking guys so opener in Aoe pull we are rend -> Ava -> Colossus -> cleave x2 -> blade spin ?
in execute scenarios im always rage starved is that normal?
Huge gaming
Rage problems are all over the spec atm
but i still only use ms with 2 stacks of execute ?
Yes
and do i care about martial prowess?
No
big help thanks
ah k
i love slayer shit feel amazing, drowning in rage
Slarms iin m+ feels so beautiful
archon also placing us S tier now
fake site
Raid is a mini game
room temperature IQ
Oh no that's for me to report his potentially offensive message
Please do cuz that's funny
stupid pink class
Most sane paladin player
wtf even prompted this
fuck if I know
I am listing my +9 aa on my evoker
didnt even see the guy
delist and relist and then see his name in my chat window
my evoker hit 90 today
and I've had raid and pushed some keys on main in that time
i dont get it
Ye my warr is fresh 90 too
I wanted to do all delves + nightmare hunts and shit first
I think it's not bad tbf
alteast you dont have to think about trinkets unless you doing raid
what talents for dreamrift?
the ones that make you do damage i presume
woah, i gotta try that
that seems like alot of hours for one day xD
bro has guidon and heart
axaxaaxaxxaaxax
i called acherus they said you were their top guy
Im off work lol
and puzzle box
fuckle box
and heart of ancient hunger
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
rend now aoe
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
wt good
Read javelineer. Wrecking throw is now a silence
Its a nice piece of utility
with javelineer it silences and theres a good amount of shields u can wreck
this weeks affix for example
Thank you!
why do we prio heroic strike more on execute window?
Just to get it out. You can't afford to hold it because of raghe
do we not press it at all on aoe?
completely forgot about that talent tyvm 🫡
👍
collateral?
Did one +2 and im hooked
Amen
How big of a ST loss is losing reap from sudden death?
Mah d shrank when i deal ST dmg 
So blizzard is starring at us in silence this week ?
they still wanna do that ?
it's the only thing that makes arms AoE fun, makes mortal strikes feel more juicy after suddendeath reaps 😮
For single I thought yes? They added it back if SD hits two targets via sweeping
Nah they backpedaled a bit
Yes, no one at blizz plays wwarrior
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
It'd be cool if they had single target SD proc a slayer's strike in ST though
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 ?"
So SD just procs a thing respective of ST or cleave
AI taking joke feedbacks for class balance 
it's like you can be warrior number 50 and get like a blue parse cuz of how few arms warriros are playing lol
ah its cleave
i saw someoen t alking about it , was funny.
Damn, what’s the ideal haste and crit, 19% haste still feels slow
is there a consensus on which season dungeons for slayer vs col?
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
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%
it was nerfed
For ptr
Then buffed back
Eww I messed up on saladbar and didnt BS pad on the lil orb spawns
My tanks are special
So the ptr change is meaningless
That's not the reap change
The change is it's no longer proccing on st
That's the change that matters
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
I dont understand why we are getting nerfed when we arent even in the top
Catching strays
Oh?
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)
Honeslty it would be terrible to lose reap on any of the abilities that trigger it
Slayer is super fun dont change it blizz
the tanks in my guild are actually so good but half of our dps just suck
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...
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
Just have SD proc slayer strike if one target hit or proc reap if two targets hit, ez
Does fury slayer reap proc off of WW buff?
I forgot
it procs off Rampage or Sudden Death that hits multiple targets
Oh so it's fine ye
Fuck me im getting scared for the tuning
yeah, and Slayer is also getting 20% increased Bladestorm damage, so all it's losing is the ST Reap procs
Its my first time progging with arms and will hate it so much if they make it bad
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)
I wouldnt be surprised if they just go the buff slayers strikes route
I mean that would be the simplest way of just buffing ST
smelly demolish
arms is playing colo on dragons?
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
Unironically
and doing it through the Slayer passive will avoid messing with Colossus/Thane balance
holy voidorb pad
My dks are gorefiendsing ontop of me so I might as well press demolish
I think aside from demo being able to be tank trolled (Why blizzard), the only thing I hate about colo is ravager
Ravager is the #1 thing I want changed
i cant afford to pad cuz my dps do no damage 
Still just delete it?
if they would commit to just deleting Ravager form the game, I think Colossus would be damn near perfect
Yeah I agree.
I'd like a tad more ST, but I don't feel like the boss damage is a real dealbreaker
its getting like 5% more through Mortal Wounds
Ye, it'll probally feel fine once .5 hits and we get all the changes
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
I could see that working for colo
Would def let colo keep its burst aoe feel
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
Just doing a quick 1 min run through you can start with making sure your press CS on CD. You press CS at 26 seconds and you dont press it again till 1:17
just inting your dmg there
was holding it for adds
but yeah it doesnt seem to be worth!
Holding it that long is like 2 casts
theres not really anything worth padding on voracious
holding for adds on vorasius is generally not worth it unless theres just a couple secs left
CS's CD assuming good uptime is like 20~ seconds irrc
good to know
Focus on hitting the boss also your cds are super desynced
looking at top logs my breakdown is simlar, it just seems like i was holding stuff too much for adds
pressing Ava and BS without CS up on boss
at least always hold bladestorm for adds tho?
For volo no
no
yeah, CS had longer than 15 sec til it was up
bladestorm is too valuable with the tier set
i thought that was the max we waited?
Prob due to you holding CS so much that first period
SO P much I just need to stop holding anything? And send on CD. Got it lol
send on cd and ava/cs shouldnt really desync that hard
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
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
for fights like averzian with a ton of adds yeah
unless obviously you are hitting 20 adds like mythic dragons
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
I dont thats another button I dont wanna press
Hello all, my single target damage (m+ collosal spec) is absolutely atrocious lol, any tips?
You mean aside from spec slayer?
Jokes aside
Yeah, aside from that lol
Could help more if you showed us a log so we can tell what you're doing wrong
Im struggling to out dps tanks on bosses lmao
yes dont play colossus LUL
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
I'd say colossus is just as good as slayer is right now
so just play whatever you prefer
Colossus is still higher overall AoE
Slayer is just better balanced ST vs AoE
you also don't have to futz with Demolish if that's something that tilts you
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
i haven't played arms since dragonflight and colossus feels backwards
fym i don't use execute during execute
Where does heroic strike fit into the aoe rotation for arms?
Heroic strike activates from cleaving 3 targets
at how many targets do we switch to the aoe rotation 3+?
3 targets lol
can we get some more arms players so my rank 12 isn't a fkn purple???
I was watching critcake earlier and he was able to hit mortal strike like 4-5 times in a row, what talent allows that because mine is never up that much.
Get lucky with tactican
heroic strike gets casted automatically by cleave at 3+ targets
it's either bladestorm proccing them and you see that on logs/details or just lots of lucky battelord procs
ah ok, that makes sense.
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
Colossus smash with the talent activates it
Read the talent broad strokes
Crit. More gear. It gets better the higher your ilvl gets ands main stat scaling
colossus smash and sweeping strikes
The colossus orb pad on mythic dragons is a feeling
Yeah it’s the addon that shows player casts, it will show all the mortal strikes you cast during blade storm as if he was casting them himself
Not if you’re actually being invited to groups
i wish i could say the same. the amount of nexus point keys i have done...
I hate nexus point
Kill that key
Pugs literally cant I stg
God I cant wait to spam pit
Because I play crit haste specs 
Its good🙃
The ring is
And the damage amps YESSSS
But lotharaxian and core warden are annoying
And trash....meh
farming the rings from that place gave me ptsd
Thank god I didnt for outlaw...now i do for arms
Also the trash in the last section
Absoutlely awful
been doing that for the last few days. gotten the void ring 6 times and seen it way more, seen the light ring twice
Theres a reason I stopped target farming after s1 of tww
Farming the trinket from grim on enhance was pain
I stg i almost quit wow over that
I still need light after 25
Prefer mc at least it throws frogs
I cannot play Mc to save my life
First it was skyreach
Then I stopped trolling there
Now its caverns
Idk maybe it'll click on arms
Does anyone have the cat gif for our rota
Purple around u hurts so bad 
Yeah the bladestorm mobs are cringe
Actually
There are like 3 dungeons with bladestorm mobs
So extra xringe
can berserker rage to remove it. or slayer charge
basically does not exist for us as slayer
are the magic bladestorms from the assholes at the end of algathar new?
Nope
i swear pulling a bunch of shit into the last room used to be normal
and now it's utter aids
Well whats new
i mean they aren't new but they are worse than in df
Is the clones i think
It used to be juat the guys doing it
Now they spread it all over the damn plaxe
yeah that sounds more right
and then throwing in a bleed on the plants is cool too
have an aug or fuck your fun
Yeah aa is a totally different beast nowadays
Na man
Just split the damn pull
I know its less fun but the third lasher is just not worth it
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
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?
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?
wait for MS
Are bis trinket from there?
The solarflame thingy
best aura for arms ? which addon if u use it or settings for blizzard one ?
the one ure comfy with...
im new with this things, but how i can set an aura that tell me when de buff isnt more active ?
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?
I need to get better with arms I suck
put the one button rotation on your bar as a guide but press the actual spell. 
As arms slayer single target we don't use execute outside of sudden death procs right?
We do, follow the priority on wowhead
In higher m+ keys, do you guys prefer slayer or colossus?
I prefer slayer, but colo does more damage
slayer just doesn't feel as clunky imo
Do i want my reck pot to give me crit or haste as slayer arms in m+?
Ah so it replaces slam basically in execute phase.
The guy Biz seem to wreck with slayer in m+ but he also seem to be REALLY good and have a good group setup
Not quite exactly like that you see
Mortal Strike shouldn't be used before 2 stacks of EP, which is different from the regular rotation
Honestly the TLDR is basically
EP? Sorry im new.
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
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?
Yes execute phase only
how ass is arms with no Crit ?
Coming from fury wanting to try arms
So i basicly have barely any crtit xD
In normal rotation I use MS without 2x EP yes?
Slayer plays well with fury stats, Colossus will want some crit though to make CM cleaner
only have 400 and vorasius trinket
Q_Q
In normal rotation you do not have execute freely available, meaning you do not have a way to generate the executioner's precision stacks, so yes
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
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
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
farm up pos for neck or ring from nexus/aa for some crit
Allright thanks a lot !!!
In normal rotation you will prioritize sending mortal strike on cooldown
Pretty much
Just MS on cooldown
If it's available, press it
Ye what I've been doing. Then heroic strike before and sudden death procs
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
Fearless is huge
yea i’m watching Bizenteins video in a 19 NPX
and he ain’t doing it idk he knows
removing that DOT completely is insane
Ok. Makes sense. So heroic strike over ms in execute phase
sorry boss my brain went full adhd mode
does anyone have a notepad with these tricks or nah?
like similar to the spell reflect thing?
Idk about any note pad but I learnt a lot of them by just sending zerk whenever I got any debuff
And taking note of what worked
🧠 <-
Pretty much that
nice LMAO goat
Ayo, anyone have a good example M+ run for colossus? My toon is missing a myth weapon but my damage is drastically lower than it should be and I'd like to watch someone who really explains it.

I actually watched that one yesterday haha. It's kinda hard to understand everything they are doing
any bizentein clip
I'd love to see a guide from him
He's said he will once tuning settles down so it doesn't get immediately outdated
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
opp strike back when?
Is the Warrior that currently deals the best DPS in dungeons the Arms spec? And what is its best Hero Talent?
ye arms
both hero talents are very good
different damage profile
slayer is more st while colo is more aoe and prio dmg
never
Anyone know why heroic strike is being consumed/used when I use cleave. Playing as Slayer arms
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?
fervor of battle
ty
Just cleave/whirlwind
But we still consume Heroic Strike with Slam on ST, correct?
Yes
hows arms doing now with the buffs it has been getting lately?

Arms owns
Arms owns
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
played so far mainly slarms in keys
depends what you want it to do. high chance it's a mainstay in the MDI as possibly the highest overall damage spec in the game. But if you want to compete on boss meters, it's still very possibly the worst
feels way better than colo
man i always forget to press rend 
same 
same
i'm even playing feral right now and have no trouble at all upkeeping bleeds. hop on arms, can't remember rend exists
i mean it's a button, it's not Bin Laden ffs hahahha
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
but yea I just forget
instead we're a "wow, that's a lot of little dreadnought and rend ticks on my screen covering up all the big numbers so everything feels like nothing" spec
i see no other reasonable option but that, yeah

why are we like this
each xpac we suffer because of playing this class
and yet we come back
looks fine
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
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
oh thank you friend
so just
after cleave spam
forget everything
blade the fucking storm
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
SDs and BS? OP?
You cleave spam before bladestorming?
Kk
for a minor dps gain
but if i dont have any sd i bs after cleaves the same?
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
at least the 2nd one is dead, Rend is still around
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 
i enjoy Colo a lot, but we need ST (our group) and also fuck ravager
Interesting I’ll have to try that out
Hear me out
JUST BUFF MS 20%
in both Spec and in tree as well
so Colo has big fucking MS hits
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
Prolly like 40k without a shaman. Maybe less
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%
Colossus st is terrible
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
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
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
key logs are fake
i like Avatar more than BS, but it does feel good to press as slayer, and it's 100000x better than ravager
Get a tank who pulls the entire key in 3-6 pulls
and extra adds on bosses
and u parse 100
but genuinelly tell more tanks to pull adds on top of bosses
no one does it by default
and it's so good
massive time saver to pull a pack you would pull anyway with a boss
most classes gain something out of it
Esp since theres normally a bit of time at the start of boss encounters where you aren't dealing with any mechs
(not rets)
I definitely feel like I struggle vs some classes in some pulls
offensively or defensively?
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
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
Like very often its just not safe for me to jump in and start dpsing
Yeah you want to Bladestorm with colossus smash exclusively
So i lose in that sense
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
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
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
nexus and seat are fairly safe pulls though, no? but i see what you mean, AA is rippy
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
You should be lusting the big tree pull in AA so you can demolish fairly easily being hasted
sts is basically bubble for melee adds
Its like the parts where you get inconvenienced by the claws and have to go around
not sts, die by the sword
Losing dps
True enough, for some reason our lust forgot to press it in the 11 I did last night and we got ripskid on it.
Like my dps isnt terrible for these parts but its not 500k+
maybe watch critcake a bit, see what he does/where he positions? visual generally helps a lot
And im at 271 ilvl atm
If you struggle with AA first pull just send your cds after everything is gathered and hold demo untill after the first green puddles
Oh ive been playing slayer
actually goated advice thanks
i forget sometimes i gotta hold
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
whats the cutoff on holding colostrike, demo and bladestorm? 20s and below on avatar i hold it?
u hold for CS, not Avatar
like you should never Demolish / Bladestorm
if cs is not up
Gotcha, yah the guide mentioned at least avatar is pretty meaningless outside of combining with CS
but how long do i hold? any cutoff on seconds?
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
or just perma hold
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
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

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.
Doesnt get affected by cs
did the slayer m+ build change? since the buff or nah
Oh good. No need to change it then
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?
colo just has wack ST but giga cleave its how it is
if you want more rounded profile go slayer arms
So i should choose what i want in reality. More cleave or boss dps
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
How it is easier? U have less skills?
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
I pm u
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?
3+t
Ty and am i blind? i cant find that info
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
aoe is 3+t for arms
at 2t u do st rota and weave cleave with 3 stacks of collat
yo im new to warrior ( and kinda retail overall) would yall recommend learning arms or fury?
historically arms it the red head step child for blizz so probably fury
thats also new for me, is stuff like this just not included in the guide atm? or am i just stupid blind
I hate myself so I've started to learn arms.
Cooler people play arms
I dont really know xD they both seems quite complicated :3
honestly both will probably be fine
arms is bit harder but still not bad, fury is braindead
If complicated is what you’re worried about I personally find fury to be a lot easier
lot of arms players make arms seem harder than it actually is
but Fury is way more straightforward
But being fair they’re both about the same “difficulty”
also 2 2handed weapons
Guts only needs 1 2h
idk i havent looked at the wowhesd guide but prio should be split into st and aoe
colo in m+ is significantly harder than slayer arms and both fury
imo
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
Rogues seem to be a lot easier by the sounds of it but I haven’t played one in ages to compare
Rogue is not really hard
neither is feral after midnight
its not there, no. cant find anything about collateral damage
Is sub still all about burst window?
ye cause its aoe
2t is not aoe
on aoe u dont care about collat since u send cleave on cd anyway
but i cant find anything about 2t
What stacks do I really need to pay attention to in 1-2 target?
Collateral
and sweeping strikes
idk i havent seen the guide
I should figure out how to hide apex tracking on the cdm and put collat there instead
but 2t is st rotation
Sick ty
alright, fair enough. thanks
I for sure wasn't watching collateral
and 3+ is aoe rotation ?
yea
alright, got it. ty
Are colossus sims broken on raidbots? I sim like 20-30k less than slayer
Hi, I'm fairly new to arms, is there a dps difference between a crafted 2H sword/axe/mace?
nop
ty
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
even if its like 30 sec off and i have a bladestorm reset?
Yeah if you want to be a cool guy interpose damage events in dstance
Yes, really they should never be desyncd that far apart
Speaking of interpose... Does anyone have a macro that swaps between the two and cast on mouse? Aka don't need to click
does this apply to avatar too
Yes
sims have my character sending avatar on cd but holding bladestorm for cs
Would you rather:
do 20% more damage on random cleaves and mortal strikes
Or buff your damage window by 20%
See the logic?
well cleave is like 40% my overall so thats why i wasnt sure
well it and reap
As colossus, Sometimes you will:
Cs + demo + rav
Cs+ demo + Ava
Cs + demo + Ava + rav
guys on which talents its best to learn arms m+ talents, ST talents slayer, or AOE Slayer?
on dummy
@olive nest ty for the help time to gear the rat
Anytime Glhf!
This is why I hope slarms stays viable
Select the talents you will be running in m+ and then go hit the ST target dummy for a while and then also go hit the aoe dummies for a while, both are important
oki
and for raid/m+ slayer or colossus to start with?
im an arms newbie
Slayer is easier both in raid and M+
and no bladestorm without cs?
i had a cold take that slayer arms is genuinely the easiest iteration of warrior so far
slayer arms is easier than thane fury
and on par with slayer fury i guess
imo even slightly easier
i got it like
week 1 and idnt even know
how nice it is
holy
i played fury w it til i got puzzle box
but
puzzle is cursed
its so cursed
I could have taken it from vault week 1 but took shoulders instead to save 20 crests
guidon is crazy

i got just trinket
100% cs uptime in guidon windows
Slam procs into heroic strike
i didnt take it cause i thought it was shit
Arms being able to do guidon from 1st boss and heart of ancient hunger from 2nd boss is pretty nice
I’m 3rd in line for mythic one after DKs
We still ass?
Thanks
I will make a heroic pug with no str melee except me
Just incase

Tbh though I bet my 289 puzzib is still better tha 276 guidon
I should sim that
counterpoint - then you have to use puzzle
Maybe run guidon anyway for the vibes
ijust hope i dont get puzzle box ever in vault honestly
i dont want it
im not gonna take it ever
Thats what Im doing
Fuck the tiny dps loss
heart + guidon
Puzzle box first vault and I took the bait
(i have neither)
The 2 sec cast is buns I don’t want it either
I should have just went ring
Puzzle box is good I can’t deny it but it sucks to cast it no doubt
its so fucking ass
mid boss etc
unless its a boss fight with forced downtime
it just feels so bad lol
and the 2s just makes u not feel like ur getting value from using it
Very real
mfw pbox comes up midway salhadaars spin mechanoc
Idm that because I was holding damage for orbs anyway on my first kill
But yeah turbo ass for boss damage
How much haste is too much? Floating at 950 at 269 ilvl
how much of an increase is arms’ funnel to the main/prio target given 3+ targets and 4set
