hit random buttons got it
lolol
ur still gonna do tank dmg
so not a big deal
unless ur tank big brain and funnels :3
haha
why does slarms run out of rage in execute phase...
use overpower silly goose
Because BLord was the worst out of any other option for 4/4 apex
Do we have % change in dps after 12.0.5 ?
Slayer feels shit in st in MM
If you think slayer ST is shit in keys that might be a skill issue.
just flat didnt md the bubble on pull the entire 8 seconds
very cool
3 priests in the run
yeah die
smorbsmish 2
i got like rank 8 or sometihng
hehe
and just did nothing for 10 seconds
i mean
actually braindead
one of the priests said "late lust" which sure maybe
shoulda speced shattering throw
but the other 2 just drooling on their keyboards ig
In single target ?
You feel it's good ?
Mine is. I don't know about you
ST is good, AoE is okay
Slayer AOE is good enough to still beat every other spec in overall, so I would say it's more than okay
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?
if u cleave 3 or more targets u do a slam. if u have heroic strike up it uses it
Ahhh gotcha, thanks
Fervor of battle in the talent tree
Are ppl going arms or fury for midnight falls?
Feels like its probably an arms fight right?
Theres not a single dps warrior kill for midnight falls yet so uhhh pick your poison they are both kinda bad
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
👍
how do I attend others house/home?
i think u can right click their name if ur in party with them and click visit
ye i found it
yo free void rune
forgot to reapply sweeping strikes is trolling 
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
Getting back to back SD procs with 3 stacks is like popping a can
so satisfying
Back to back Bladestorms

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
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
also, how come both Collosus and Slayer are competitive on top runs?
because both specs are good
if anything slayer is more practical anyway
I mean, Collosus can actually feel useless on keys that have harder bosses imo
Premade higher keys are gonna pull trash onto bosses which colo massively benefits from
the funnel doubles colos boss dmg
yee
but yeah both are good right now and its really just preference and or what your group needs
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
it's more of a "can't go wrong" with slayer, while colossus is a bit picky about setup and maybe dungeons
you should have no problem keeping up with every dps as slayer in ST
also, what can I use to remind myself about rend, I feel its a bit too hard for me to track it
pug without shaman, im doomed
also it doesn't glow up nicely like every other button
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
slayer seems less reliant o rend, am I right?
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
gotcha, thanks for all the tips
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?
if change APEX talent 3% penetrate to 3% str good?
Wdyt of slayer after 12.0.5 ?
arpen is basically damage dealt
and strength is nowhere near it
its a more "warrior" way to write damage dealt increases by 3%
yeah except it's more like 1.3% 
well shit, aint gonna play colossarms in pug again
nvm it's seat, back to colossus
Imma be honest
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
I feel like arms actually got more complicated since I played it a couple seasons ago
Yeah I kinda agree
do we try to align cs and avatar as slayer aoe
how is colossus considered better in keys when slayer still does great cleave but not <tank dmg single target?
bc it absolutely destroys packs
its a tradeoff
trash gets nuked
in exchange
u do tank st
Cause colossus doesn’t do great cleave, it does insane cleave
And on boss fights you get mocked
Depends on your comp and the dungeon
I mean honestly slayer st isnt that much better
If you account for rng
It is
its comfortably like 15k better
arms owns
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
Its honestly a lot of them
I just feel like I'm inting if I go colossus into a 16
yea sick one
If your group can’t or won’t take advantage of the aoe then yeah slayer
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
It’s not like your a 3 minute ele Shaman where you gotta pull around your CDs
I mean
You do gotta hope tank isn't a troll
But id assume in a 16 they might catch onto demo
Quick, better pull the pack out of that spinning red axe, looks dangerous

God damn it man dont remind me
At least we arent fdk
I stg some tanks do actually mistake fwf for a mechanic
I keep thinking the prot pally apex talent is the boss mechanic from nexus
The memory game?
no the dmg amp
nexus point xenas
the right hand wing boss
hello, how does mortal strike work in this scenario?
In what context?
Are you asking if reap with sweep has multiple proc chances?
it says 3 or more target , doesnt mortal hit 2 only?
oh ok ty
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
Both slayer and Colo are very good and you can play either one. This has been true all season
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
🪤
wat
Sudden demise no longer give a guarantee reap the storm proc
that's been reverted
Cleave does apply deep wound if it crits anymore
I think now it’s slam and mortal
Good for ST
yes that is a good thing
Hence why other stuff was buffed to compensate
except demolish buff makes up for it
But they reverted sudden death change ?
yes
Both specs are good
slayer not losing a little st with reap no longer on ms? does the slam applying bleed make up for it?
Before the SD revert slayer was only losing 1% ST due to slam apply bleed and BS buff. Now with the revert it should be gaining dmg now. Idk the number but fishy said net positive
very nice
Is there a good place to read all the current changes planned ?
ikr, tbf i don't mind whether it gets fully reverted or if it's the sweeping strike version. as long as it procs on aoe
But tbh Ive long made my peace and am fine with 2T SD reap that was a good compromise to what I wanted
Yeah 100%
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
It's not gonna be organized but in updates channel will have a timeline of all the ptr changes just scroll up
But reap the storm nerf is still going right ? 20% to 15%
no
Bro go through the updates channel you are just massively behind
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?
Pick your poison
Do you want big aoe play colo. Do you want a balanced dmg profile pick Slayer
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
Both work just play whichever you prefer honestly
Unless you're going for title keys or so it won't matter
Both are in a good spot it really really is just play what you like more
slayer feels better when ur cds arent up i will say
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
well like ill change my spec based on what number key im doing
Ok guys jus watched 12.05 changes for slayer and arms. JUST WHY BLIZZ
spam ww and apply dw from slam just wtf
Dw from slam is hilarious
Rest is honestly fine
whered u see htat nab?
Are you another person reading outdated 12.05 info
whats dw o.o
Because you won't press WW
he 100% is
Deep wounds (mortal wounds)
ah ty lots of acronyms
I don't truly understand that change kek
From cleave to slam
It's not super important but I just don't get it
More control over DW tuning.
we're gonna get nerfed
I can feel it
lies! slander!
less cleave power as well indirectly. and less cleave power is good
My point being they could've just removed from cleave and leave it at that
The slam addition is silly
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?
People constantly complain about slam being shitty. Why should they not continue to add to slam so it feels better to press
I mean, Imo HS does that
anything applied to slam counts for HS as well. so it buffs HS
Imo I agree but some reason ppl still omega hate slam
this is a buff to execute phase as well. just a small one tho
i think hs is a lil underwhelming
Right, eh, I think it's a silly "compensation" angle but so be it
I'm ok with taking it away from cleave
HS should do like a tiny cone of damage similar to what pallies got
I feel like colo won’t get effected as much as slayer cuz demo applies deep wounds
tho arms dont need any help with aoe i guess lol
Just think of it this way it's one less mandatory aoe talent now we just gotta get rid of a few more

Just a few more
I've lost Odyns' grace Frozen
Why are my numbers so shit in this raid
Am I not padding enough?
Indeed pad is the way
Damn it
Play Colo on mythic dragons and have your dks gorefiends the orbs into your demolish
This is the way
I'm doing that today lmao
It's a fun time till the dev DH steals your pad with collapsing star
Gg
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
Should get your demolish off but getting the cleaves after might be hard
I used to be a 95+ parser now I can't fucking go above blue either man
It's affecting my self esteem 
I just hate pad
Do I need to degen and play demo first boss mythic and just pad away ?
I swear if you look at lorrrgs yes
Not necessarily colossus but
It's really just saving buttons for add spawns
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
are there actual decent amount of parses on that boss now? when i last killed it i got rank 12 but a fkn purple parse
smh my head
It's so freaking pointless tho
On voarsius yeah there should be a lot by now
okok nice, surely i get orange parse tomorrow
I just sit boss too but I've keep getting bad rng on the kill pulls
i sat boss then when cs duration ran out i leapt to adds with SS did some 2-3 target then charge back
Both weeks we have wiped at 1% and both those wipes I was gonna get a 97 98
Btw what's the argument between reck potion and light's potential?
Is there a straightforward :this is better for this scenario: deal here?
classic

Think they pretty much sim the exact same
Like does col want reck potion buffing crit was my primary thought
For chimaerus is it one use on the adds and the other on boss ? Mythic.
reck potion is better if you have low vers and highest stat is crit. my problem with reck potion in raid is that it takes vantus stats as well
same but i have highest stat haste so reck is bad for me anyway
Are you going down first or second?
Going down first I save the first burst for adds but you can CS on pull, you get CS back for adds then ava+BS
Then next burst is on boss
And the next is on intermission
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
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
I found it somewhat reliable but I wasn't getting my full bladestorm in
Mostly just cuz adds take a few seconds to gather to the spot we kill it
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 
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
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:
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
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
More like one AI doing the first pass and then maybe a dev doing a second pass
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
After a very big forum post created by some awesome guy. Blizzard ended up compromising and made SD proc reap when hitting 2T with SS. This kept the important gameplay function of wanting to press SD in aoe. This last second revert is just a nice surprise, but we could have lived without it
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
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 ...
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...
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
Yeah when ur doing normal keys his colo is really bad
But people are doing the highest keys with him cuz if u pull adds into boss preferably 3 targets his ST becomes really good
Yeah im currently playing thane fury and slayer arms. havent tried col arms. But being dependent on mobs on boss seems also bad
It is bad
Slayer arms feels so much better overall
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
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
Solo pug play fury is better. For 10-14 dosent rly matter play what you have the most funn
Not fixable imo
ofc it's fixable. highly doubt they will tho
2000% slam aura buff
Just remove slam.. make Heroic Strike overwrite Mortal Strike
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
it's already used as high prio, most times 2 stacks are hit its gone almost immedately
hmm alright
@fresh spire will the ptr patch going live get me brought to raid again or am i sat for the rest of the tier
Slayer arms will do more dps next patch with SD reap back, is it enough to justify it on last 2, probs not
can you fuck with the sims to make it look like it will so they sunk cost fallacy me in
.5 tuning surely save us
if .5 tuning will be a thing
Guys please answer me, is 12.0.5 looking grim for arms in m+?
for m+ its great
Its sad that reap is nerfed on st 🙁
we dont know that yet
I really loves it
it might be back
clearly. we are gaining st and are net zero aoe
good changes
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
cleave nerf gets made up for in aoe by demolish buff. slayer reap in st gets made up for by slam proccing deep wounds
fervor of battle gives us funnel. also more rage and more cdr since we spend more
Thank you, you made it very clear for me
And since Colossus focuses damage on Cleave etc. its the preferred Build if i wanna funnel ?
correct
Ah ty
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
probably i did
xff
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.
send cs, hold bs
Ah, so only use BS during CS?
ys
noted, thanks
hell yeah, did the dk control undead the mob with the 4 smallies that dont die?

yerp
Unironically a dk is op in that dungeon for arms
If he controls the mob
So the little skellies never die
is it correct to overpower over execute if sudden death isnt at 2 stacks? wowhead doesnt recommend it but i dont understand why. slayer
Is there any build that can give me decent ST and AoE in the same build?
or what would be the cloest at least
Slayer mythic + from wowhead
go slayer, bootleg blademaster
patchwerk
Hey guys, since the default swing timer is gone, what are you guys using to track auto attacks for Arms Warrior now?"
Nothing, you cannot track swing timer on arms at all
I used to track it with WeakAuras, but...
gotta look at your guy/rage bar now
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.
I personally believe in both mythic raid and m+ arms is just better
Thanks you for answer 🥰
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
It's a shame the stats aren't the same (regarding crafting, this is restrictive).
I just recrafted to arms and am not playing fury at all this tier anymore
when do you all apply rend in aoe pulls - do you do something liek avatar, CS, BS, rend, cleave, cleave, cleave
If I'm Colo I do it instantly
Based
Rend isn't as important for slayer
Slayer you don't really need to apply rend
i play slayer
Just throw it in when cleave and mortal on CD
Just do it when you have a empty gcd
ok cool thanks
Npnp
I will the as ethical as possible on Tuesday when me and enh do adds alone

On dragons*
Whag
I sim significantly higher as fury
In raid it almost certainly does
Nop
in m+ arms > fury
arms gains st benefits from adds tho. getting access to EP earlier is so nice
Without a doubt
On like every single boss
Literally every single boss arms does more boss damage
I cant name 1 it does less on
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
1st 2nd
The only boss it's even remotely close on is voidspire first boss
And even then arms does more on avg
2nd being vorasius?
Than slayer fury? Doubtfull
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
Idk this just isn't a fury tier
It's better on like 2 bosses maybe
2 bosses that don't matter
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
I have 2 questions with Arms, new to it.
-
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?
-
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
And unleash arms
I really though fury was ahead
I guess last buffs to exe tipped the snipin ability
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
arms or fury for the let me solo him thing?
Fury
thane fury the DR is rly nice
aite ty
Just outlive him and it's free
Thane fury deffo at 250 wad the play
Arms tier is just way stronger
So it scaled a bit better
Fury tier good for aoe padding, not so much for boss damage
Yea, wanna hear somethin sad
My raid so bad, i still gotta tunnel // save cds for the add thay spawns
Or we fail
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?
lowkey jealous. our 2 devourers just collapsing star the adds and then it's joever
Ours just are bad
Only 2? My raids got 3
I am not looking forward to dragons prog
We got 1
yea only 2 thankfully
somehow got a big good dragons log. almost 50% of my damage to the adds hahahahah
In raid
Did u sd // reap?
ALOT
nah i played thane
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
ye, tried col for a few pulls on dragons. it did not feel good
how big of a deal are the stat weights on arms? is it notably significant if I arms with mastery/haste gear from fury?
Maybe good on reclear when we stop stacking op classes on that fight like devoker and dev dh
It matters yes
Low crit hurts colo
but how much
But it's playable
okay okay
I recrafted my shit for arms, but when I play I really feel like i'm doing no dmg
yeah dragons are a writeoff we ahve 2 devokers 😭
but idk how wrong i'm playing
i swapped to slarms right away and just am coping with boss dmg this tier
Lowkey I was coping that adds mattered then the 2 dev specs just blow everything up
Wcyd
where u use Whirlwind as warrior arms? im looing a video of crown hc and dont see the warrior pressing that button lol
Did ity ty lads

You dont use it
Ever
Best to check wowhead rotation guide or smth
holy moly 3 dps warriors
comp of all time
Hey, i dont understand why everybody says 12.0.5 is a up for slayer, we lose RS on MS et one free cleave
gain deep wounds on slam
i thought you were on about st
Ah in général I mean
but we gain bladestorm damage which makes up for the reap nerf in aoe
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
The other changes kinda suck no ?
no, the changes are big good
Like why ?
less power in cleave is very nice. spec cleave too powerful, they are buffing bladestorm and demolish(our main cds).
slayer or colossus for windrunner spire?
Bump 🙂
fervor of battle talent will answer your questions
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
Question
Does that weapon have a embellishment
yes
I'm on phone so can't see
It does
I mean the one that is simming as a downgrade
Are you sure? I don't think the one with crit has darkmoon hunt
at least when I hover it
I cant see it on phone xdd
for recrafts use top gear
^^^
u can click on the plus and change stats
bet thanks fam
why not just sim stat weights 🤡
i dont even know what the fuck those are
Don't use them unless you know what you are doing
how cani learn
don't bother. they are mostly useless
the only time stat weights were useful for me was when i wanted to make augury sim neutral back in dragonflight
bet
oh yeah I was joking (the setting is even hidden on raidbots)
I use them to see if I'm fucking up on a Stat, then go to top gear and check
even then i couldve replaced it with running a couple 16mil top gear sims
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
im jus tryna spin to win fam
Then go top gear and use it accordingly
i dont do other classes
usually guides are enought for that (or a glance at stat distributions of top players)
but ye
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
Now it's crit mastery
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
It’s legit gross
and sick target scaling
tbh most specs are like that
where they shit out damage within 1.5m/2m cds and otherwise don't do much
And it’s generally a good profile
Udk is even better with 45/90 sec windows
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
Man its still telling me to roll haste mastery
😂
I must be doing something wrong
Having another plate dps spec with a lot of ranged abilities is nutty
is anybody a fucking goat and can double check with me if I share my simc string
Also why does slayer arms feel so much better than slayer fury?
Slarms is butter
ya slayer is easy
It feels like I’ve always got rage and something good to hit
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
I ran aoe sim for u https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/cjwuSjco6rP3iUHoAp2JZQ
crit is better
the best seems to be berserker rage + crit/haste
But why wont mine show me that
I have to be doing something wrong
much love tho appreciate you
can you link the last one you did?
omg
just set all to max
warriors my alt so less likely im getting myth trinkets for a bit, would crafting this trinket at myth level be dumb. will be a while before im swapping to warrior main and this just seems better than my dungeon options atm https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kFqPeqxPDkTCLCUtk9Yv7e
dont waste a spark on this trinket no
just get hero or champion hunger or hero skyreach trinket or something
couldnt tell if nice number was just baiting me into thinking its a good idea
you need a 285 2hander and bracers
delve trinkets are also great at hero (Drums for example is simming really well)
its probably cause your current trinket is too bad
POOP
lol
it simmed higher than crucible w/ no upgrades surprisingly
guys is arms playable in raid or is fury just that much better
except for the paladins
tired of switching fury
arms good
@sharp goblet ty king
whats the difference between colossus and slayer in m+? i see a big split of the top io arms
Colossus does some of the highest aoe of any class in the game
Slayer has a more balanced profile that trades the insane aoe for better single target
as an estimate whats the % tradeoff?
in st? like 18% if you dont have 3 targets
I think like 15 percent ish?
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
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
Yup
But to each their own, its unlikely you deplete a key because you played the "wrong" hero spec
Unless u are in seat amp boss + 3 target boss
Also colo with no blue carry
Never again
it'll be better when you're not trying to use untalented Exe
I'm loving the execute hate on colosus hahahaha
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?
Cleave prio
So burn all cleaves, then bladestorm? Or do we even prio sudden death executes?
Get stacks of SD then bladestorm use stacks sd to get bladestorm back faster.
Oh I see so Cleave -> BS -> Execute with Sudden Death
SD reduces cooldown based on the stacks on the target, blade storm fully stacks them.
Gets cooldown faster.
And do we ever send Bladestorm outside of colossus smash?
No
Not recommended, but sometimes it just happens.
Our cooldowns are all worthless without cs, always hold
can you get SD procs during BS? If I have 2 I always send one before bladestorming
Yes because it comes back fast anyways
how do u guys get the tunip thing for pre stacking bladestorm?
yeah pretty much you cs on cd and hold bladestorm for cs
What sucks is when the tank sits still so you CS then he immediately moves to grab another mob...
Yeah thats super annoying
that's why you grab the extra mob 
Like bro you dont need to get aggro for 5 seconds throw a couple globals and move
Unless it’s Druid
no hate for Execute, but if you're not specced into it, it shouldn't be as strong of a button
I don’t go til they ravage
Or vdh tbh, Im afraid to even touch a mob while they are pulling lol
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
tbh I would skip sudden death on colo ideally if I could and it was tuned
make that a slayer thing
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
it would definitely simplify the rotation if we didnt need to execute as colossus
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
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
I repeatedly asked them to swap EP for Fatality but the fuck do I know 
I would be a lot more upset about this if colossus didnt have the opportunity to be starved of rage in single target (in M+ build)
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
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
it's a lot less starved when you're not trying to use untalented 40 rage executes
True
dependency on Skyfury is a whole other issue tbh
I really dont like that personally
A buff should be a nice touch not borderline mandatory
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
stacking classes with spriests in group for mana in sunwell hahahah
I think maybe retribution with crusading strikes, but even then, skyfury isn't needed for their rotation to feel smooth and complete
for some reason that scenario is hard burned into my brain
I mean now
ok but why you gotta ruin my life?
Was there ever blue feedback on cooldown consolidation for warriors and arms in particular?
Yeah at the very beginning of the beta, when they removed Avatar and Ravager
which were then added back for no apparent reason
My god we were so close
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
is Colossus going to be okay in ST finally in the next patch?
But the new version of Ravager is even worse, because it doesn't do anything - it's just merc bonegrinder on a keybind
it'll be noticeably better, whether it's "ok" is really more of a personal opinion
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
most likely still below average, but not significantly, need to wait for final notes and sims
but it will be hella fun
okay sweet sweet. ty tu
What should i take? Got crafted weapon and myth crooked hook
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
Guess weapon it is then. Not really planing on raiding much, maining heal normally
Just a side char
Fair enough
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?
if box wasnt a hard cast for 2 secs it would be great
just needs to be able to hecking move while casting
slayer is just better ST unless col gets funneled, consistent AOE, better in pug
Slayer has superior single target and slightly better priority damage compared to colossus thanks to slayer strikes
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
COL is generally nicer if youre in a stack or competent tank, Slayer is better in a pug case
colo is very punishing to mess up with too
Cool! Thanks for the info guys
slayer is kinda ez, but colo you depend a lot on tank and some other stuff
Also, slayer is fun
bladestorm>>>>>>>>>>ravager
Slayer goes brrrr which is important
that's more fury tbf
I struggle with ravanger. I feel i only get it every 4th CS.
Its a shit button that only buffs cleave anyways
if you press CS less you can get it on every CS 
Just throw it out when there's a bunch of mobs and cs is up and youre fine
Yeah, being able to press bladestorm roughly every avatar feels so good
ravager top 3 worst buttons
What’s worse?
rend
I never much liked skullsplitter when that was a thing
rend is bad tho
Top 1 and not Even close
id say skullsplitter too yeah but its gone now
Rend on arms isn't terrible, rend on fury however....
Wod wild strike
slam sucks too lowkey
Yeah i understand the slam hate now
its just "there"
i mean slam is filler it's fine
Slams fine. It's just an ability to fish for overpowers
Feels like a giant do nothing button
I ugh hate pressing it 
Execute isn't even exciting to press anymore 🙁
colosus gets the most out of rend, slayer doesn't care much and thane is automatic
On slayer it feels pretty good
sudden death execute makes me mmmmm
it's still hyped on slayer
Ravager is worse than rend
Thane just getting rend for free makes me wonder why it was even added to the class tree in the first place
rend is useless
Slam could disappear entirely and I wouldn’t shed a tear
slayer fury gets if for free in 12.0.5
on both specs
aint that ww for fury?
yeah on fury
Yeah arms still has to press right
Only in aoe right?
Cringe
rend feels like ass, it kinda does nothing rly, its just existing to be pressed at times
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?
On some specs but not all
I would love the tree 10x more if I could do that
Like..
Why?
for ravager
No
rend slam and ravager are great examples of why arms needs giga rework
Cleave is an overtuned button so anything that makes it better must be considered
So does lura
i already suggested it but remove ravager and replace it with spear, and give the bonus cleave damage to spear
No
Lura and arms spec is the same game designer
already hate it
Thats why its never gunna get reworked arms is the tribute for world first.
"top 5 worst sentence"
how is that at all better
lol
its not even an improvement
best suggestion is to remove ravager completely lule
its still a shit feeling global you have to press just to get a buff on another button
spear and ravager are identical abilities
nuke it and make it passive
that desync
simple as
with all of your shit
Why does arms have more cds then some specs have main rotation.
yeah but spear has some nice visuals that has an additional thing where things get yoinked into it so its nice for cleave stack
it was worse before
it's also nice when the tank wants to move the mobs and he can't
current state of arms is actually pretty decent
because 5 dudes who cant get over arms keep flaming blizz whenever they try to modernize warrior
next expansion 
yes i'm sure blizzard devs are getting bullied by the arms mains here
they are like " man i can't change arms, some rando on skyhold will yell at me "
considering how often people in here beg for arms to be changed I dont think this is even remotely true
they let AI reading jokes feedback on warrior 
I’m sorry what
speaking of AI i saw their "customer support" holy fug
have you seen the state of the specs
Yeah true everyone playing midnight we playing bfa
Brother I’ve got 4 different cooldowns with varying degrees of dynamic CDR
aintnoway
literally all your cooldown aside from ravager line up
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
Eventually
large
it is a modifier to cleave and cleave is insanely giga this season
Just play slayer
atp go slayer
^
bladestorm feels much better than ravager
beyblade beyblade let it rip
Nix both.
also you can get spicy with it and immune some mob shit
Buff reck
give condemn to slayer 
Warrior felt like the easiest class to prune and streamline
wow nostalgia
Give arms wod damage profile
do not speak of wod ever again
0 damage from 100-20%
may it forever remain in the hell it belongs
1000% from 20-0
Someone's always mad. Archis a warrior not a bibliophile.
Leave the spelling to the mages.
real warriors dont wanna read
Hell no no reading no rending
read is similar to rend
you will rend and you will like it
and rend sucks
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 "
ITS BACK BABEEE
and I don't think the sod team has anything to do with anything outside of classic
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
archie hates warriors
and what exactly will you do if you have no ms no overpower and no procs
wait, i got it
no, I just hate stupid ideas
Then charge we've
you people love cleave so much you are finding ways to press it even more than we already do
I know colossal ks best. But we will be progging paladins soon. Can slayer compare? XD
cleave is cool just wish it was baseline and had better visuals
Also I learned that thunderstorming a pack away mid demolish is the fastest way to disconnect from the game.
no rend, no slam, just cleave
hahah no it cannot
hell no
Yeah I figured.
colossus is giga on paladins
I figured. I will have to suck it up and get good.
its not that hard
Do y'all play slayer? I just tried it and I think I like it more to make up for the ST
Int a few 12s
slayer is the best
when all are together = cleave
when 2 are together = MS
the slayer players are currently not here sadly
