#

Do we have % change in dps after 12.0.5 ?

Slayer feels shit in st in MM

minor gust
#

If you think slayer ST is shit in keys that might be a skill issue.

#

very cool

but the other 2 just drooling on their keyboards ig

#

You feel it's good ?

minor gust
#

Mine is. I don't know about you

weak wave
minor gust
#

Slayer AOE is good enough to still beat every other spec in overall, so I would say it's more than okay

rain fiber
#

I might be missing something, but when Heroic Strike pops, when I use Cleave it changes back so slam without me pressing it. Is cleave "spending" HS?

mystic summit
#

if u cleave 3 or more targets u do a slam. if u have heroic strike up it uses it

rain fiber
#

Ahhh gotcha, thanks

mystic summit
#

Fervor of battle in the talent tree

runic rock
#

Are ppl going arms or fury for midnight falls?

#

Feels like its probably an arms fight right?

minor gust
#

Theres not a single dps warrior kill for midnight falls yet so uhhh pick your poison they are both kinda bad

runic rock
#

I meant for heroic

#

Im not even thinking about mythic for like another 3 months

minor gust
#

well its heroic. Play what you are most comfortable on and can play well

#

You can look at logs for the fight and see its pretty even between arms and fury

runic rock
#

how do I attend others house/home?

i think u can right click their name if ur in party with them and click visit

forgot to reapply sweeping strikes is trolling sadge

keen siren
#

Slayer aoe is rly good imo, it’s just a lot more consistent dmg rather than spiky huge aoe dmg

#

But if u get a bunch of sd procs reap does a lot of dmg in aoe

#

It’s usually ur top dam

#

And it’s more satisfying I just think reap looks rly cool too

#

And bs

hushed pine
#

Getting back to back SD procs with 3 stacks is like popping a can

#

so satisfying

#

Back to back Bladestorms

keen siren
#

Ik it’s crazy lol u can get 2 bs in one pull if ur lucky enough

#

The haste buff after bs is also very nice

rain fiber
#

My god my ST sucks as as Collosus, am I shitting the bed that bad? I know it's supposed to be on the lower side, but I'm doing like 40-50k at 270 ilvl, while I do at least 50-60k on Fury

#

It's still fun to pop on big pulls though

minor gust
#

welcome to colo

#

dont stick around convert to slayer

rain fiber
#

also, how come both Collosus and Slayer are competitive on top runs?

minor gust
#

because both specs are good

umbral badger
rain fiber
#

I mean, Collosus can actually feel useless on keys that have harder bosses imo

minor gust
#

Premade higher keys are gonna pull trash onto bosses which colo massively benefits from

#

the funnel doubles colos boss dmg

rain fiber
#

true, hadn't considered that

#

Slayer seems the pug friendly alternative

minor gust
#

yee

#

but yeah both are good right now and its really just preference and or what your group needs

rain fiber
#

still I don't know how consistent it is outside of CDs when it comes to AoE, because you know as Collosus that you will have at least 1 combo per pull

#

with Slayer you are at the mercy of proccing I guess

umbral badger
#

it's more of a "can't go wrong" with slayer, while colossus is a bit picky about setup and maybe dungeons

minor gust
#

Slayer is more RNG but both have very consistent aoe

#

RNG avgs out over a key

rain fiber
#

I'm going to try a few Slayer keys

#

hopefully ST feels "normal"

minor gust
#

you should have no problem keeping up with every dps as slayer in ST

rain fiber
#

also, what can I use to remind myself about rend, I feel its a bit too hard for me to track it

quiet bramble
#

pug without shaman, im doomed

rain fiber
#

also it doesn't glow up nicely like every other button

minor gust
#

take a mental note to press rend everytime cleave and MS are on CD and you have no SD stacks

#

well not everytime but like take that moment to check to see if rend is up or not

rain fiber
#

slayer seems less reliant o rend, am I right?

minor gust
#

yes rend isnt as good and prio for slayer for ST at least, but in aoe you still want to get rend up at all times

rain fiber
#

gotcha, thanks for all the tips

quiet bramble
#

mf POS giving me helm dupes

#

where dafuq are necks and rings

wet scroll
#

In Aoe situation if I have Mortal strike up, but 0.5secs left on cleave with heroic strike proc, do I wait and cast cleave or cast mortal strike first?

vast helm
#

if change APEX talent 3% penetrate to 3% str good?

#

Wdyt of slayer after 12.0.5 ?

#

well shit, aint gonna play colossarms in pug again

#

nvm it's seat, back to colossus

nova marsh
#

Aside from us needing god on st, id rather they focus on design

#

Fix our rage delete ravager bring cleave down a peg or two and bring up other parts of our aoe....which is just dreadnaught i guess

#

Bs and demo kinda feed into st too

runic rock
#

I feel like arms actually got more complicated since I played it a couple seasons ago

nova marsh
#

Yeah I kinda agree

balmy basalt
#

do we try to align cs and avatar as slayer aoe

frail helm
#

how is colossus considered better in keys when slayer still does great cleave but not <tank dmg single target?

jovial hare
#

its a tradeoff

#

trash gets nuked
in exchange
u do tank st

warm fog
frail helm
#

but at high keys having someone do negative boss damage is like

#

suicide

odd ledge
#

And on boss fights you get mocked

warm fog
#

Depends on your comp and the dungeon

nova marsh
#

If you account for rng

odd ledge
#

It is

frail helm
#

its comfortably like 15k better

nova marsh
#

If you get sd

#

If you dont you get fucked

jovial hare
#

arms owns

warm fog
#

I’m not a high key pusher but there’s always dungeons where having the aoe to do certain pulls is worth the slower boss kills

frail helm
#

I just feel like I'm inting if I go colossus into a 16

nova marsh
#

Then play slayer

#

🤷‍♂️

frail helm
#

yea sick one

warm fog
reef prairie
#

you can play colo to the highest keys, i don't think there's any definitive better spec rn

#

you're certainly not trolling by playing it

warm fog
#

It’s not like your a 3 minute ele Shaman where you gotta pull around your CDs

nova marsh
#

I mean

#

You do gotta hope tank isn't a troll

#

But id assume in a 16 they might catch onto demo

warm fog
nova marsh
#

God damn it man dont remind me

#

At least we arent fdk

#

I stg some tanks do actually mistake fwf for a mechanic

frail helm
#

I keep thinking the prot pally apex talent is the boss mechanic from nexus

nova marsh
#

The memory game?

frail helm
#

no the dmg amp

nova marsh
#

Oh

#

Lol

frail helm

Memory game

frail helm

the right hand wing boss

nova marsh
#

Yes ik

#

My brain just jumped there first

#

Im tired lol

serene blaze
#

hello, how does mortal strike work in this scenario?

nova marsh
#

Are you asking if reap with sweep has multiple proc chances?

serene blaze
#

it says 3 or more target , doesnt mortal hit 2 only?

nova marsh
#

Thats not for ms

#

Thats for cleave

#

Its ms casts OR cleave hitting 3+

serene blaze
#

oh ok ty

nova marsh
#

Same with tier set

#

Ik its confusingly worded

pulsar elk
#

seeing more and more colosi on top 50 m+ players on murloc, did i miss some changes? thought slayer was the meta for now

#

its like split perfectly between slayer and colosi rn haha

minor gust
#

Both slayer and Colo are very good and you can play either one. This has been true all season

fallen anchor
#

We need to make a petition to revert all the warrior changes for 12.0.5 except whirlwind applying rend

#

All the other changes are so bad

minor gust
#

🪤

rare kite
fallen anchor
#

Sudden demise no longer give a guarantee reap the storm proc

rare kite
#

that's been reverted

fallen anchor
#

Cleave does apply deep wound if it crits anymore

#

I think now it’s slam and mortal

#

Good for ST

rare kite
#

yes that is a good thing

minor gust
#

One less AOE talent very good thing

fallen anchor
#

But reducing dmg overall

#

Like ur single is not close to other meta specs in m+

minor gust
#

Hence why other stuff was buffed to compensate

rare kite
minor gust
#

Neither slayer or colo is losing dmg with these changes

#

It's buffs all around

fallen anchor
#

But they reverted sudden death change ?

rare kite
#

yes

fallen anchor
#

Ok that’s really good

#

Cuz tbh slayer is rn is the best spec across all warrior

minor gust
#

Both specs are good

rare kite
minor gust
rare kite
#

very nice

fallen anchor
#

I noticed something about slayer

#

You can easily do more than ur sim

minor gust
sharp tide
#

Is there a good place to read all the current changes planned ?

rare kite
minor gust
#

But tbh Ive long made my peace and am fine with 2T SD reap that was a good compromise to what I wanted

pulsar elk
#

the gap between aoe and st with slayer is much smaller ive found

#

gonna sim to confirm

#

but the peaks you get with colo aoe is nutty

minor gust
fallen anchor
#

But reap the storm nerf is still going right ? 20% to 15%

rare kite
#

no

minor gust
pulsar elk
#

yeah like in my m+ spec, my ST for slayer is 16k dps over my colo m+ ST

#

but i suppose since youre doing more aoe it averages out overall?

minor gust
#

Pick your poison

#

Do you want big aoe play colo. Do you want a balanced dmg profile pick Slayer

pulsar elk
#

also seems like its heavily dependant on whether youre pugging, and what key youre doing , cuz if you can actually expect a massive pull and have ur cds lined up, its just such a massive difference

#

yeahh makes sense

untold pewter
#

Both work just play whichever you prefer honestly

Unless you're going for title keys or so it won't matter

minor gust
#

Both are in a good spot it really really is just play what you like more

pulsar elk
#

slayer feels better when ur cds arent up i will say

minor gust
#

Any kind of oh this is good here this is good there is pretty moot and pointless

#

Both specs will net you very high success

pulsar elk
#

well like ill change my spec based on what number key im doing

fierce bobcat
#

Ok guys jus watched 12.05 changes for slayer and arms. JUST WHY BLIZZ

pulsar elk
#

just cuz

#

gonna minmax any way i can cuz why not

fierce bobcat
#

spam ww and apply dw from slam just wtf

untold pewter
#

Dw from slam is hilarious
Rest is honestly fine

pulsar elk
#

whered u see htat nab?

minor gust
#

Are you another person reading outdated 12.05 info

pulsar elk
#

whats dw o.o

minor gust
#

Because you won't press WW

rare kite
untold pewter
#

Deep wounds (mortal wounds)

pulsar elk
#

ah ty lots of acronyms

untold pewter
#

I don't truly understand that change kek
From cleave to slam

#

It's not super important but I just don't get it

pulsar elk
#

omg arms passed fury on the murlok meta list

#

rejoice!

minor gust
slender sonnet
#

I can feel it

pulsar elk
#

lies! slander!

rare kite
#

less cleave power as well indirectly. and less cleave power is good

untold pewter
pulsar elk
#

hahaha real shit tho

#

so there are purposed changes that cant be read as anything other than a nerf?

#

where are u guys even finding that info?

minor gust
untold pewter
#

I mean, Imo HS does that

rare kite
#

anything applied to slam counts for HS as well. so it buffs HS

minor gust
rare kite
#

this is a buff to execute phase as well. just a small one tho

pulsar elk
#

i think hs is a lil underwhelming

untold pewter
#

Right, eh, I think it's a silly "compensation" angle but so be it

I'm ok with taking it away from cleave

pulsar elk
#

HS should do like a tiny cone of damage similar to what pallies got

fallen anchor
#

I feel like colo won’t get effected as much as slayer cuz demo applies deep wounds

pulsar elk
#

tho arms dont need any help with aoe i guess lol

minor gust
untold pewter
#

Just a few more

#

I've lost Odyns' grace Frozen
Why are my numbers so shit in this raid

#

Am I not padding enough?

minor gust
#

Indeed pad is the way

untold pewter
#

Damn it

minor gust
#

Play Colo on mythic dragons and have your dks gorefiends the orbs into your demolish

#

This is the way

untold pewter
#

I'm doing that today lmao

minor gust
#

It's a fun time till the dev DH steals your pad with collapsing star

untold pewter
#

And we have 2

minor gust
#

Gg

fallen anchor
#

Bro am so bad at doing dmg in the raid I can’t get higher than a blue log but I can push 18-19

minor gust
#

Should get your demolish off but getting the cleaves after might be hard

untold pewter
#

I just hate pad

fallen anchor
#

Do I need to degen and play demo first boss mythic and just pad away ?

untold pewter
#

I swear if you look at lorrrgs yes
Not necessarily colossus but

#

It's really just saving buttons for add spawns

minor gust
#

I have been fucked over on both our voarsius kills it's my only bad parse

untold pewter
#

There I prefer to just sit on boss if I'm not fixated but ugh

#

I guess I should leap burst adds and come back

#

The cds do align

#

For every add spawn

rare kite
#

smh my head

untold pewter
#

It's so freaking pointless tho

minor gust
rare kite
#

okok nice, surely i get orange parse tomorrow

minor gust
rare kite
#

i sat boss then when cs duration ran out i leapt to adds with SS did some 2-3 target then charge back

minor gust
#

Both weeks we have wiped at 1% and both those wipes I was gonna get a 97 98

untold pewter
#

Btw what's the argument between reck potion and light's potential?

Is there a straightforward :this is better for this scenario: deal here?

minor gust
#

Then we kill it next pull

#

And I'm at an 78

rare kite
#

classic

minor gust
minor gust
untold pewter
#

Like does col want reck potion buffing crit was my primary thought

fallen anchor
#

For chimaerus is it one use on the adds and the other on boss ? Mythic.

rare kite
untold pewter
#

Oh damn

#

Didn't think of vantus

#

I've been using lights potential

rare kite
#

same but i have highest stat haste so reck is bad for me anyway

untold pewter
minor gust
#

If you cs on pull you really have to force rage spend it's pretty close on if you get it back in time or not

untold pewter
#

Then you get it back again towards the end of the intermission

I personally just send it there if adds aren't dead but othetwise you can basically do the same thing again

untold pewter
#

So yeah definitely not doing my full aoe on the adds but getting a bit more on the boss on pull

#

At least the big add takes it all sadge

minor gust
#

Yeah Chim is terrible to parse for lmao thankfully I stole an easy 100 parse for Chim because there was only 6 arms warrior logs for mythic Chim when I killed it

untold pewter
#

Saldahaar is another doomed for parsing

#

Sometimes tanks outrun the orb and I miss SS hits

#

And I don't leave the boss to go bladestorm the large clump of small orbs

#

Cuz we don't need my damage there

#

But that's just me moaning about shit

#

Totally fair to:

minor gust
#

Nah saladbar you are purely just at the mercy of your tanks. I had to whip mine into shape to move with the orbs so I could hit them as much as possible

fallen anchor
#

I still find it funny how they were planning to make sudden death doesn’t proc a guarantee reap the storm

#

It feels like there are 2 developers fighting each others

untold pewter
#

I genuinely believe this to be the case
Mfs must be feeding their Cursor/Claude with their own WoW MCP and prompting AI to suggest changes

#

That's every tech team nowadays

minor gust
fallen anchor
#

Tbh the way they mad SD guarantee proc reap is so good cuz now execute is not just BS cooldown reduction button it’s really worth to use for prio dmg and good aoe dmg with reap plus executioner precision stack

#

So much value just for pressing execute

#

Rn the best design for a spec and it’s hero talent for warrior easily goes to slayer arms

#

It doesn’t feels like a meme anymore

pallid sedge
#

Hey guys quick question. Why is everyone playing Arms rn? I simmed 1/3/7 Targets and everything is worse than Fury ( I even farmed more or less the optimal Stats for accurate evaluation)... Combined with the akward rotation as arms i dont see why arms is so popular and so highly ranked (archon) rn. Idk maybe im just stupid and dont understand anything ...

slow saddle
#

3t arms in m+ is king

#

Esp if u look at main target.dmg

pallid sedge
#

Diffence of -15k on 3 targets which is 10%. So even if i have like 20k more prio dmg, it is lost on overall value

#

And how many pulls do you have in a key with 3 mobs. not many...

fallen anchor
#

Arms has consistent burst and really good funnel on main target

#

Comparing slayer arms to thane fury will feel like they are close

#

But colo arms to thane fury is a really big diff in overall dungeons

pale mantle
#

Colo arms single is pure garbage ngl

#

Like really garbage

fallen anchor
#

Yeah when ur doing normal keys his colo is really bad

pale mantle
#

If you dont take care of yourself your tank can gap you

#

No shit

fallen anchor
#

But people are doing the highest keys with him cuz if u pull adds into boss preferably 3 targets his ST becomes really good

pallid sedge
#

Yeah im currently playing thane fury and slayer arms. havent tried col arms. But being dependent on mobs on boss seems also bad

fallen anchor
#

It is bad

pale mantle
#

Slayer arms feels so much better overall

fallen anchor
#

Cuz most people if u play with pugs won’t pull adds into boss for u

#

Slayer sim is kinda bad cuz if u get good sudden death procs u will do way higher than ur sim

latent moss
#

colo absolutely mogs slayer on aoe

#

slayer mogs colo on st

#

either way it doesnt matter unless ure timing 19d

#

19s and even then i feel like i could go colo and we would still be timing 19s

#

colo wins on everything thats not st

molten glacier
#

Solo pug play fury is better. For 10-14 dosent rly matter play what you have the most funn

gentle gyro
rare kite
#

ofc it's fixable. highly doubt they will tho

sacred zodiac
deft bluff
#

Just remove slam.. make Heroic Strike overwrite Mortal Strike

echo geode
#

sudden death stacks twice right? is there a reason the wowhead rotation doesn't say to only execute with sudden death if 2x stacks of sudden death? slayer rotation

fresh spire
#

it's already used as high prio, most times 2 stacks are hit its gone almost immedately

echo geode
#

hmm alright

sacred zodiac
#

@fresh spire will the ptr patch going live get me brought to raid again or am i sat for the rest of the tier

fresh spire
#

Slayer arms will do more dps next patch with SD reap back, is it enough to justify it on last 2, probs not

sacred zodiac
#

can you fuck with the sims to make it look like it will so they sunk cost fallacy me in

Guys please answer me, is 12.0.5 looking grim for arms in m+?

sharp wyvern
#

for m+ its great

sand tree
#

All i saw was nerfs

#

Did i miss somthing?

sharp wyvern
#

demolish CDR

#

and reap on cleave

#

colossus ST in m+ is gonna be higher now too

#

Its sad that reap is nerfed on st 🙁

sharp wyvern
#

we dont know that yet

#

I really loves it

sharp wyvern
#

it might be back

sand tree
#

True

#

Thank you for quick answer

#

good changes

sand tree
#

I think i dont understand arms so well then

#

Since it's cleave has been nerfed and slayer reap

#

Yo guys,
First time i roll Arms since i play Warrior.
Im just Really curious which of the Builds is the funnel damage one ?
Since im reading the Talents and dont find what implies the funnel part.

Tyvm

rare kite
#

cleave nerf gets made up for in aoe by demolish buff. slayer reap in st gets made up for by slam proccing deep wounds

rare kite
sand tree
#

Thank you, you made it very clear for me

keen hedge
#

And since Colossus focuses damage on Cleave etc. its the preferred Build if i wanna funnel ?

rare kite
#

correct

keen hedge
#

Ah ty

rare kite
# thick kelp

yep, hugee. btw did you mean to reply to my funnel comment above instead of that one? xD

#

i saw crit do that boss as well yesterday. like 120k st

#

insane

shy oyster
#

Quick question/clarification for Slayer: If it comes to a situation where your RNG luck has made Colossus Smash/CS to be up before your Bladestorm or vice versa, do you just send either regardless and hope they'll eventually correct themselves over a fight?

#

Or do you hold even when one might be 20 seconds later than the other etc.

thick kelp
#

send cs, hold bs

shy oyster
#

Ah, so only use BS during CS?

thick kelp
#

shy oyster
#

noted, thanks

# thick kelp

hell yeah, did the dk control undead the mob with the 4 smallies that dont die?

wind flicker
#

Unironically a dk is op in that dungeon for arms

#

If he controls the mob

#

So the little skellies never die

echo geode
#

is it correct to overpower over execute if sudden death isnt at 2 stacks? wowhead doesnt recommend it but i dont understand why. slayer

Hello, sorry for the question, but I can't decide between the Arms Warrior or Fury specialization. I like both, and I want to do Mythic+ ( 15-16)dungeons and Mythic raids. I see that Fury is more popular, but in terms of performance, is Arms Warrior equal? ​​Thank you.

stable fiber
winter hedge
#

Thanks you for answer 🥰

stable fiber
#

Arms does more ST in raid and currently other specs kill ads better then fury while doing more ST then fury

#

While in m+ arms can play both colo and slayer to do boss damage or have high overalls

#

Or have both

winter hedge
#

It's a shame the stats aren't the same (regarding crafting, this is restrictive).

stable fiber
#

I just recrafted to arms and am not playing fury at all this tier anymore

late yarrow
#

when do you all apply rend in aoe pulls - do you do something liek avatar, CS, BS, rend, cleave, cleave, cleave

stable fiber
timber marsh
#

Rend isn't as important for slayer

stable fiber
#

Slayer you don't really need to apply rend

late yarrow
#

i play slayer

timber marsh
#

Just throw it in when cleave and mortal on CD

stable fiber
#

Just do it when you have a empty gcd

late yarrow

ok cool thanks

Stay ethical

I will the as ethical as possible on Tuesday when me and enh do adds alone

I sim significantly higher as fury

stable fiber
#

Ok?

#

My dk Sims 120k but it doesn't do 120k dps

#

Lmao

#

Arma deffo doesnt do more st

#

In raid. U might as arms

stable fiber
#

In raid it almost certainly does

slow saddle
#

Nop

#

in m+ arms > fury

arms gains st benefits from adds tho. getting access to EP earlier is so nice

Without a doubt

stable fiber
#

On like every single boss

#

Literally every single boss arms does more boss damage

#

I cant name 1 it does less on

rare kite
#

like on saladbar orb for example. if the tank moves the orb close to the boss, the extra damage is real big. whereas fury cleaving ehhh you might gain a tiny bit more

slow saddle
#

1st 2nd

stable fiber
#

The only boss it's even remotely close on is voidspire first boss

#

And even then arms does more on avg

#

2nd being vorasius?

slow saddle
#

Because arms then does less adds

#

Like i can go fury and hug.boss as well

stable fiber
#

Slayer arms just does more st even when you use cd on ads

#

Lol

slow saddle
#

Than slayer fury? Doubtfull

stable fiber
#

Check vorasius boss dam

#

It's miles ahead

#

Like 10-15k

#

Even nexus king

#

It's like 20k ahead

#

My r1 nexus king where I hit the boss the whole time had significantly less boss damage then my slayer arms kill of that boss

let the fury guys cope

stable fiber
#

Idk this just isn't a fury tier

#

It's better on like 2 bosses maybe

#

2 bosses that don't matter

slow saddle
#

Hm so its powerfull swings from adds onto boss tactic

#

Gettin some exes in i c

#

All i c is recraftin my weap from haste-mastery to crit mastery

glacial plume
#

I have 2 questions with Arms, new to it.

  1. I charge in and do Rend, Colossus and Demolish - I then spam the cleave stacks for max AoE but why does blizzards rotation helper say I should use Sweeping Strikes THEN Cleave? Does Cleave do an extra cleave with SS?

  2. If I'm in my standard rotation either ST or AoE with SS to get 3 Collat stacks -- Should I always use Heroic Strike proc if it comes? Because sometimes I'm in AoE, got 3 collat stacks and cleave off CD then I use Cleave and heroic proc is gone

slow saddle
#

And unleash arms

#

I really though fury was ahead

#

I guess last buffs to exe tipped the snipin ability

stable fiber
#

Arms overtook it this week

#

And late last week

slow saddle
#

Confirmed

#

Arms scales

#

It just feels more st then i guess as fury coz my overall is highet

#

Also 2nd boss on prog we move adds 2 far away

#

I c other arms wars get to switch sides 2 keep way more boss dmg

median crag
#

arms or fury for the let me solo him thing?

Just outlive him and it's free

slow saddle
#

Thane fury deffo at 250 wad the play

stable fiber
#

Arms tier is just way stronger

#

So it scaled a bit better

#

Fury tier good for aoe padding, not so much for boss damage

slow saddle
#

Yea, wanna hear somethin sad

#

My raid so bad, i still gotta tunnel // save cds for the add thay spawns

#

Or we fail

undone aurora
#

Hardest part I find abt arms is just like remembering to rend, it’s such an unsatisfying button I find it’s hard to notice when it even cast correctly

#

Like sometimes I cast tend and I pause for a second like did it go off?

rare kite

#

I am not looking forward to dragons prog

slow saddle

Delete all aoe bursters

slow saddle
#

In raid

rare kite
#

nah i played thane

stable fiber
#

Yo I was doing so much damage on dragons as arms

#

Then our priest started using pi on our evoker

#

And it was over

#

That 1 pi made his cds line up with everything perfectly

#

He blew the first set of balls up before my demolish even finished casting

rare kite
#

ye, tried col for a few pulls on dragons. it did not feel good

stable fiber
#

It felt good when balls lived

#

Then idk

undone aurora
#

how big of a deal are the stat weights on arms? is it notably significant if I arms with mastery/haste gear from fury?

stable fiber
#

Maybe good on reclear when we stop stacking op classes on that fight like devoker and dev dh

stable fiber
#

Low crit hurts colo

undone aurora
#

but how much

stable fiber
#

But it's playable

undone aurora
#

okay okay

stable fiber
#

Slap a crit flask on

#

And it fixes the issue a bit

undone aurora
#

I recrafted my shit for arms, but when I play I really feel like i'm doing no dmg

last saddle
#

yeah dragons are a writeoff we ahve 2 devokers 😭

undone aurora
#

but idk how wrong i'm playing

last saddle
#

i swapped to slarms right away and just am coping with boss dmg this tier

stable fiber
#

Lowkey I was coping that adds mattered then the 2 dev specs just blow everything up

cosmic halo
#

Hey, i dont understand why everybody says 12.0.5 is a up for slayer, we lose RS on MS et one free cleave

rare kite
#

gain deep wounds on slam

cosmic halo
#

But we had deep wounds on cleave before

#

So it s still a loss ?

rare kite
#

i thought you were on about st

cosmic halo
#

Ah in général I mean

rare kite
#

but we gain bladestorm damage which makes up for the reap nerf in aoe

soft gust
#

The original ptr change was going to remove the guaranteed reap from Suden Death which would have sucked

#

recent hotfix got rid of that tho

#

its kinda fine

cosmic halo
#

The other changes kinda suck no ?

rare kite
#

no, the changes are big good

cosmic halo
#

Like why ?

rare kite
#

less power in cleave is very nice. spec cleave too powerful, they are buffing bladestorm and demolish(our main cds).

undone aurora

slayer or colossus for windrunner spire?

I will check it, thank you

#

man I am trying so hard for my sim to tell me to swap my 2h to haste crit but no matter what sim I run its telling me haste mastery ?!?!

#

Someone tell me why it wont tell me to grab crit haste on my weapon i just wanna understand the logic

stable fiber
#

Does that weapon have a embellishment

slow flame
#

yes

stable fiber
#

I'm on phone so can't see

slow flame
#

It does

stable fiber
#

I mean the one that is simming as a downgrade

sharp goblet
#

Are you sure? I don't think the one with crit has darkmoon hunt

#

at least when I hover it

slow flame
#

yeah youre right I just noticed

#

thanks boys

stable fiber

I cant see it on phone xdd

latent moss

for recrafts use top gear

latent moss
#

u can click on the plus and change stats

bet thanks fam

sharp goblet
#

why not just sim stat weights 🤡

slow flame
#

i dont even know what the fuck those are

stable fiber
#

Don't use them unless you know what you are doing

slow flame
#

how cani learn

stable fiber
#

Play and sim a lot

#

But

#

It's not worth it

rare kite
#

don't bother. they are mostly useless

latent moss
#

the only time stat weights were useful for me was when i wanted to make augury sim neutral back in dragonflight

slow flame
#

bet

sharp goblet
#

oh yeah I was joking (the setting is even hidden on raidbots)

stable fiber
#

I use them to see if I'm fucking up on a Stat, then go to top gear and check

latent moss
#

even then i couldve replaced it with running a couple 16mil top gear sims

stable fiber
#

For example, my dk wanted a shit ton of crit and I didn't know that

#

Because I don't play dk as much as I do warrior

slow flame
#

im jus tryna spin to win fam

stable fiber
#

Then go top gear and use it accordingly

slow flame
#

i dont do other classes

sharp goblet
#

but ye

stable fiber
#

Well it changed for dk

#

Crit and vers just didn't exist as unholy in past tiers

slow flame
#

i started wow in tww so still getting used to the game , im lying i started in dragon flight but i only played like 1month lol

stable fiber
#

Now it's crit mastery

sharp goblet
#

i read through the talent tree and thought it would be all in on crit

#

but offtopic unholy kit is so nice man, makes me jellly sometimes

#

fake melee spec

warm fog
#

It’s legit gross

stable fiber
#

I dont like it's dps profile

#

Everything else is good

sharp goblet
#

and sick target scaling

sharp goblet
#

where they shit out damage within 1.5m/2m cds and otherwise don't do much

warm fog
#

Udk is even better with 45/90 sec windows

sharp goblet
#

i enjoy warrior tbh (historically I mostly played WW, which also had a cd on every pack)

#

it feels good to watch cd numbers go down faster

slow flame
#

Man its still telling me to roll haste mastery

sharp goblet
#

😂

slow flame
#

I must be doing something wrong

warm fog
#

Having another plate dps spec with a lot of ranged abilities is nutty

slow flame
#

is anybody a fucking goat and can double check with me if I share my simc string

warm fog
#

Also why does slayer arms feel so much better than slayer fury?

slow flame
#

see if im dumb

#

yah arms is more fun

#

but its hard ...

#

colossus st is aheadache

warm fog
#

Slarms is butter

slow flame
#

ya slayer is easy

warm fog
#

It feels like I’ve always got rage and something good to hit

slow flame
#

yes

#

its awesome

#

so should i always trust the sim

#

I ran 5 targert 2 min, 1 target 5 min

#

its both telling me haste mastery for my 2h

sharp goblet
#

crit is better

#

the best seems to be berserker rage + crit/haste

slow flame
#

But why wont mine show me that

#

I have to be doing something wrong

#

much love tho appreciate you

sharp goblet
#

can you link the last one you did?

slow flame
#

yes

#

I did 2 minutes

#

instead of 5

#

maybe thats why

sharp goblet
#

this sim has no crit weapon variant at all

#

hahahha

slow flame
#

Bro

#

I gotta be dumb

sharp goblet
#

notice the red triangle

#

you need to add crests + sparks

slow flame
#

omg

sharp goblet
#

just set all to max

slow flame
#

LOL

#

thanksssss

#

that is embarassing

sharp goblet
#

nah it's not very intuitive

#

was confusing to me as well

ebon tendon
slow flame
#

dont waste a spark on this trinket no

#

just get hero or champion hunger or hero skyreach trinket or something

ebon tendon
#

couldnt tell if nice number was just baiting me into thinking its a good idea

slow flame
#

you need a 285 2hander and bracers

sharp goblet
#

delve trinkets are also great at hero (Drums for example is simming really well)

ebon tendon
#

ye bracers just simmed lower than my trinkets

#

using this dog ass rn

#

c

slow flame
#

its probably cause your current trinket is too bad

ebon tendon
#

POOP

slow flame
#

omg

#

yes thats why

sharp goblet
#

on a single target sim no less

#

hahahhaha

slow flame
#

lol

ebon tendon
#

it simmed higher than crucible w/ no upgrades surprisingly

slow flame
#

guys is arms playable in raid or is fury just that much better

#

except for the paladins

#

tired of switching fury

astral yarrow

@sharp goblet ty king

covert mantle
#

whats the difference between colossus and slayer in m+? i see a big split of the top io arms

fervent cedar
covert mantle
#

as an estimate whats the % tradeoff?

last saddle
#

in st? like 18% if you dont have 3 targets

elder path
#

I think like 15 percent ish?

fervent cedar
#

Some keys are better for one hero talent than the other, but you can honestly get away with playing either of them.
Algethar as an example is a good slayer key because single target is very important in that key.
Magisters terrace and seat are both good colossus keys because there are multi target bosses
But again, you can honestly get away with either because they both have their strengths and weaknesses

#

Play whichever hero talent you prefer the playstyle of
Most people have gravitate towards slayer because it is easier to play and its also a lot of fun

slow saddle
#

And puggin slayer deffo stronger in gen

#

Lower keys as well

wind flicker
#

Not sure if i agree

#

I feel its way more chill as collos in pugs

dim basalt
#

I defo like pugging as Slayer more

#

Unless youre playing at a key level where tanks naturally pull mobs into bosses youre just debuffing yourself playing col

#

imo

slow saddle
#

Yup

dim basalt
#

But to each their own, its unlikely you deplete a key because you played the "wrong" hero spec

slow saddle
#

Unless u are in seat amp boss + 3 target boss

#

Also colo with no blue carry

#

Never again

wind flicker
#

Colo without sham isnt THAT bad

#

But st is a bit iffy

smoky kayak
#

it'll be better when you're not trying to use untalented Exe

sharp goblet
#

I'm loving the execute hate on colosus hahahaha

granite mesa
#

In M+ Slayer, do we prio bladestorm over cleave on AOE? Considering a pull where you have rage to spam the cleaves after colossus smash?

tawdry bear
#

Cleave prio

granite mesa
#

So burn all cleaves, then bladestorm? Or do we even prio sudden death executes?

tawdry bear
#

Get stacks of SD then bladestorm use stacks sd to get bladestorm back faster.

granite mesa
#

Oh I see so Cleave -> BS -> Execute with Sudden Death

tawdry bear
#

SD reduces cooldown based on the stacks on the target, blade storm fully stacks them.

#

Gets cooldown faster.

granite mesa
#

And do we ever send Bladestorm outside of colossus smash?

fervent cedar
#

No

tawdry bear
#

Not recommended, but sometimes it just happens.

fervent cedar
#

Our cooldowns are all worthless without cs, always hold

sharp goblet
#

can you get SD procs during BS? If I have 2 I always send one before bladestorming

granite mesa
#

So it’s better to hold it for the next CS window then?

#

Feels so weird but I get it

fervent cedar
#

Yes because it comes back fast anyways

quiet bramble
#

how do u guys get the tunip thing for pre stacking bladestorm?

sharp goblet
tawdry bear
#

What sucks is when the tank sits still so you CS then he immediately moves to grab another mob...

fervent cedar
#

Yeah thats super annoying

sharp goblet
#

that's why you grab the extra mob warriorbrain

fervent cedar
#

Like bro you dont need to get aggro for 5 seconds throw a couple globals and move

smoky kayak
warm fog
#

I don’t go til they ravage

fervent cedar
smoky kayak
#

I think that's actually been one of the big failure points of a lost of design

  • they give you the option to make something better by talenting into it
  • but you still use it even if you're not talented into it anyway, so you may be weaker, but there's no actual gameplay change, making the "choice" even more illusionary
#

I'm actually really hype that Colossus will just use Slam over Execute - not because I dislike Execute or complexity, but because it's representative of my talent choices mattering

  • to be clear, Colossus still uses Execute regularly in a single target build that's actually specced into the relevant supporting talents
sharp goblet
#

tbh I would skip sudden death on colo ideally if I could and it was tuned

#

make that a slayer thing

smoky kayak
#

I do think being forced into SD is a kind of a miss (as is being forced into EP), but I'm tryin to be happy with what I can get

slow flame
#

it would definitely simplify the rotation if we didnt need to execute as colossus

smoky kayak
#

Fury is the same deal - Thane really doesn't need to be forced into Sudden Death and they could have just as easily put Focus in Chaos there intead

sharp goblet
#

huh I never thought about the tree anatomy but yeah it does suck that you need to get an execute talent to get to Avatar

smoky kayak
fervent cedar
smoky kayak
#

given the fact that we are forced into Sudden Death, having to take EP is "fine" but I would like a little more agency over my rotation

fervent cedar
#

At least we are forced to take something that gives us something free to press every once in a while if rng is not on our side

smoky kayak
fervent cedar
#

True

smoky kayak
#

dependency on Skyfury is a whole other issue tbh

fervent cedar
#

I really dont like that personally

#

A buff should be a nice touch not borderline mandatory

slow flame
#

blizz gotta hire archimtiros

#

make warrior great again

warm fog
#

I can’t think of any other situation in the game where another classes buff has this big an impact on a specs rotation and feel

sharp goblet
fervent cedar
#

I think maybe retribution with crusading strikes, but even then, skyfury isn't needed for their rotation to feel smooth and complete

sharp goblet
smoky kayak
warm fog
smoky kayak
#

Yeah at the very beginning of the beta, when they removed Avatar and Ravager

#

which were then added back for no apparent reason

smoky kayak
#

part of that was probably my fault, I did advocate that Ravager made a good choice with Bladestorm but it should have been passively tied to CS or something - automatically activated when you used the bigger cooldown

frail hearth
#

is Colossus going to be okay in ST finally in the next patch?

smoky kayak
#

But the new version of Ravager is even worse, because it doesn't do anything - it's just merc bonegrinder on a keybind

smoky kayak
frail hearth
#

i mean like damage wise

#

or are we still stuck on slayer for all content?>

sharp goblet
#

i mean we're not stuck - people do high keys with both colo and slayer

#

and he meant damage, ST will improve

#

just don't expect to beat a dk or something

frail hearth
#

ahhh sweeet

#

yeah i figured wouldent want war to be to strong now god forbid

sharp goblet
#

most likely still below average, but not significantly, need to wait for final notes and sims

#

but it will be hella fun

frail hearth
#

okay sweet sweet. ty tu

hearty token
#

What should i take? Got crafted weapon and myth crooked hook

fervent cedar
#

Puzzlebox is a better on use for M+ compared to hook

#

Myth weapon here isn't a bad choice tho because you'll be able to craft your second embellishment into your armor next week

#

For long term gearing - weapon
For short term M+ power until you get raid trinkets - box

hearty token
#

Guess weapon it is then. Not really planing on raiding much, maining heal normally

#

Just a side char

fervent cedar
#

Fair enough

sharp goblet
#

also for your mental = weapon

#

puzzlebox sucks

#

the idea of puzzlebox > puzzlebox

rich kernel
#

Looking at the top 5% of arms logs in m+, it seems like slayer is being played over col, at roughly a 67-33 ratio.
This goes against the guides and honestly what I was expecting to see.
It also goes against all key with arms at a +7 key level, where its a 49-51 split for slayer/col.

What am I missing here about slayer? Is it just the single target part?

pulsar frost
#

if box wasnt a hard cast for 2 secs it would be great

#

just needs to be able to hecking move while casting

pulsar frost
fervent cedar
#

In high keys people will gravitate towards a more balanced damage profile due to the importance of single target

#

Unless they can get away with having bad st in a specific comp

pulsar frost
#

COL is generally nicer if youre in a stack or competent tank, Slayer is better in a pug case

kind stag
#

colo is very punishing to mess up with too

rich kernel
#

Cool! Thanks for the info guys

kind stag
#

slayer is kinda ez, but colo you depend a lot on tank and some other stuff

Also, slayer is fun

Rend on arms isn't terrible, rend on fury however....

I love tallenting into an ability then using another point to make it passive.

Could we take something other than ravanger? Make the build feel smoother?

daring prairie

On some specs but not all

sharp goblet

Why?

for ravager

rend slam and ravager are great examples of why arms needs giga rework

sharp goblet

make it proc on CS

#

instantly favorite talent

daring prairie

Alright here me out

#

Arms has ravager

fervent cedar
#

Cleave is an overtuned button so anything that makes it better must be considered

daring prairie
#

So does lura

kind stag
#

i already suggested it but remove ravager and replace it with spear, and give the bonus cleave damage to spear

warm fog
daring prairie

Lura and arms spec is the same game designer

Thats why its never gunna get reworked arms is the tribute for world first.

lol

#

nothing more

fervent cedar

its not even an improvement

best suggestion is to remove ravager completely lule

fervent cedar
#

its still a shit feeling global you have to press just to get a buff on another button

sharp goblet
#

spear and ravager are identical abilities

fervent cedar

nuke it and make it passive

that desync

simple as

with all of your shit

daring prairie

Why does arms have more cds then some specs have main rotation.

kind stag

yeah but spear has some nice visuals that has an additional thing where things get yoinked into it so its nice for cleave stack

How much of a dps loss is it to drop ravanger for something else? It feels clunky and I only do 12's, so i am not worried about MAX dps. I just want to make the build feel smoother.

for aoe its big

it is a modifier to cleave and cleave is insanely giga this season

you will rend and you will like it

Still can't believe that was the take away from sod

And wod

Yo warriors hit this key alot

They must like it

the take away from wod was " never do this again "

daring prairie

ITS BACK BABEEE

flat willow

and I don't think the sod team has anything to do with anything outside of classic

daring prairie
#

Yo Jerry im running outa time on these warrior changes. You got any ideas?

#

You like rend phil?

On the other hand
What if they cut slam and just make heroic strike the new sudden death

no

Damn

Hit cleave

Then charge we've

you people love cleave so much you are finding ways to press it even more than we already do

tawdry bear
#

I know colossal ks best. But we will be progging paladins soon. Can slayer compare? XD

kind stag
#

cleave is cool just wish it was baseline and had better visuals

daring prairie
#

Also I learned that thunderstorming a pack away mid demolish is the fastest way to disconnect from the game.

flat willow
#

no rend, no slam, just cleave

tawdry bear
#

Yeah I figured.

fervent cedar
#

colossus is giga on paladins

tawdry bear

I figured. I will have to suck it up and get good.

its not that hard

daring prairie

Colossus silly strong on 3 target + has some funnel

Its not to bad

Do y'all play slayer? I just tried it and I think I like it more to make up for the ST
