yes, I play both and slayer definitely feels good to play
but you got a whole bunch of them peddling their sudden death rng
however, I personally also really like colossus just because it feels good to have a niche
Btw does anyone know how fucked am I if I just play with my fury gear on arms ? (Lots of haste basically, some decent amount of crit but nothing crazy)
I got a super lucky proc streak and almost broke 100k dps on varasus
insane aoe is a fair enough trade off for the shit st to me
all stats are good stats you can probably just send it
if you have jewelry you can switch up your stats some
drink a mastery flask
How do you guys get close to 40% crit rate? I have only tier and neck piece without crit rate.. I am at like 32%
Yeah our mastery isn't the worst
idk I guess demolish grew on me, like a fungus
im fine with demolish but i cant get over ravager
crit

on fury?
Stockhold syndrome
the question was playing Arms with Fury gear
Also try to play with a shammy sugary is so important
I swear MC is so cursed
Legit night and day
it is and i hate it, we need skyfury passive or somethin
I cannot time this shit for some reason
I just forced a friend to reroll
Now I farm crit jewelry
I will say. After playing colo.
I like ravager
Bot for its actual ravaging
That is a statement of all time for sure
But as a cooldown
Like its what I want
Slow. But powerfull
Push this key to fuck
"powerful"
yea the only good part of ravager is buffing your cleave by like 30% while its up
that’s just about it
top 10 most controversial statements of all time
But I want cds
And while ravager thematically sucks. It makes u crank
Don't even have to aim it or make a macro just set and foeget
used to macro it
Yeah at me feet
It allows for some very silly gameplay
Also I do like that its rotation changes based on how many targets. Can't just mindlessly mash. Rotation changes depending on mob count. Its nice.
+the knockup on Shockwave i prefer to the stu
If we could use ravager every 45 seconds, it would feel so much better to press I think
Just nerf the cleave buff so it's not too strong
Now I. Do wish sweeping either stacked or was a little diffrent class is gunna be hard to balance when were perma 2 target cleaving
Nah
Thats how we get current reck or avatar.
Or maybe a tallent
Choice node
Half cd, half power. Or full power long cd
M+ dmg profile is all

I think something I'd like. Is if the cleave animation changed depending on how many swings u where at.
Kinda like how multistage used to animate
Alternating directions with cleave.
Something to make it stick out more. And maybe something diffrent when that slam goes off. The golf swing ain't it.
Feels weird to go cross then up.
Specially since the body isn't involved as much unlike rampage. But thats not picky.
its already weird for it being slam and its an upswing.. hahaa
i recall there was a time when slam was really a slam
downwards.
Yeah. Midway through cata iirc.
keeping that would have been cool
Looks good with argus scythe actually
I'll have to gice it a try maybe I just havet found the right weapon
are huntard player weak minded lmao? told the dood he was afk and missing pendings, mf kicked me out 
yes
Yes
Lol🤣
what is it that reduces cd on demolisher when used?
ik mortal strike does
but what's the talent if that's what it is
so I can read the proper description
think i'm dumb but I can't find it
colossal might
perfect ty
litreally the apex lol, I can barely read
I play war at the end of the day
you just live natty with dstance no?
gng what do u need to even live
just get more Ilvl idk
the guy that knocks you off
You need to die
on aa
to live
i gotta keep hitting
Not even close 👀
walk out??
Kekw
hallo
nah
just need all the bis 
i swear you can live that guy with dstance and sr on a 17 no?
no
its phys
-2 seconds uptime
oh its phys nvm xD
leap out/los last second
self rally
no its nature
also
why doesnt this website have stance mastery
drop =CF
surely you live that if it's nature with dstance and sr on a 17 then no?
without stance mast
id need to put in my characters stats
but im pretty sure i died to it without stance
Is it uhh
surely i gotta take ignore pain
What's it called, not even close?
yeah
this is crit on a +18 as slayer with stance mast. col has 5% dr more than slayer, someone do the math
@thick kelp how untakeable is ignore pain
Tbh for higher keys it's probally better then FBV
except the number is so small
how understatted is it
stuck in dragonflight
it looks like barely 10% of my hp
50k and I have467k
do you still have to press it like 5 times to stack it
yeah
if it was 0 rage
holy
Actually juiced up man
dauym thats juicy
Guys am I cooked?
ascension next week
actually disgusting holy
holy
man i need pot to get to 1.1k crit
im down bad
i still havent recrafted weapon or cloak yet though
I am in dire need of help or I wont be able to do mythic on my arms.. my dps is so low on ex first boss. can someone look at my logs and straigthen my ass ? just be as harsh as u can? let me know if I can throw my logs here
recraft bro
arms>fury in raids
i do worse dps as fury
If you arnt getting good add damage on 1st boss you will be bottom feeding
i was stuck on 60k with ST and tried some cleave builds and made it barely to 70 at the very bottom
Although this is kinda true for like half the tier
i mean why tf do I parse 0?
I must do something wrong but I cant put my finger on it.. or more things. So was wondering if anyone can bother to look at my shot logs
there's a log review channel. throw it in there and hopefully someone checks it out
I mean that still good no
seems quite dead sadly :/
same argument for leech vs avoidance is that vs FBV no, prevent dmg vs healing after you take it
+50k hp on a free button press every 20 seconds
probably about as helpful as a spell reflect
just pair em together
yeah if it was 50k from 1 press lol
Is that not what it says
Ik prot says it can like stack or something I think no
doesn’t say up to 50 just says “until 50k dmg prevented”
unless they just lying on tooltips
wouldnt be the first time
But makes it sound like the 50k is off 1 press surely
I think it works diff now. Doesn't have a rage cost, just means if you don't take 92k raw damage over the 12 seconds you're not blocking the full amount possible
But from a throughput standpoint, if you're pulling like 7k in st from rend and deep wounds, the HPS is ~6k per second. IP will come out to just the 50k/20 -> 2.5k/s
and the throughput of FBV skyrockets in AoE where rend and DW do way more
So from that perspective FBV just outclasses it
listen to this guy @reef glade
I think the argument for IP would have to be for when a mechanic is going to kill you and you need immediate throughput to not die, but in that situation 50k hp is normally not going to cut it anyways
ignore pain stinky
Okay, objective poll, Collos or Slayer in Seat
col in seat anyday
Yeah thats my feeling too
colo for sure
pure arms for being top dps every pack but tank dps on boss 
Kekw
Collos it is
Tbh im enjoying collos so much
I mean on high keys its omega when u get the extra collos with mass execute
Best feeling
I solved the issue
The main reason is that Arms is currently in a bit of an awkward spot imo, so I should have been running a fully optimized AoE build instead, as you guys said, since I would be buttom feeder cause of the damn mobs dying so fast...
I compared logs and matched myself (0 parses) against the top warrior (100 parses). He was running a completely different build.
Going forward, I’ll review his/others logs before each mythic boss fight and adjust my talents to fit the specific encounter. That should make everything perform better. just wanted to share. here is a comparrasnt log compairng my logs to that of the top warr if anyone was interested from my findings.
find a tank that loves you enough to pull adds on bosses for you
yeah aoe execution
it would be if you multiply it by sr and stance mastery
Arms warriors playing colossus on imperator are 100% just doing it for pad right?
yeah
Its not pad! The adds gotta die! Its not pad its not its not
he parses 100 so he knows what he is doing obv
question, is there anyway in the cd manager for execute to glow for SD but not when execute is available?
Doing mythic chim
without a shaman
and not enough mastery to go fury
this is painge
I feel so useless
you know full well this isnt how this game works
Take it from spongie, he has loads of time to analyse these things nowadays 👀
pressing n and clicking the correct spec is infinitely more important than stat distributions
yes that correct spec is arms
if this is an enjoyment angle then ye
but then justify it by saying i want to play arms not by saying i dont have enough mastery
one is cope one is based
Spongie is a man of many talents
i definitely have a paladin
That's crazy
as someone who is swapping from fury to arms, you guys mostly slayer or colossus? or better question which one is more fun im trying slayer rn
Both are good
U might want to drop quite some mastery for crit though
yeah im working on that now haha
opener doesnt seem to be described as slayer for multi target, do we bladestorm before or after spamming cleave 4x?
It feels odd to pop everything and then just spin for ever
Saving it for after the cleaves feels better
Do u not get mbg as slayer after bs or is that ravager only
or just not taken talent idk
Bruh MBG isn't even a talent anymore. MBG got baked into ravager
do we have a arms warrior full bis st sim available ?
Not updated Sims but if you ask Fishy nicely he might show you
yellow name skyhold 
incognito brains
You two are superior to yellow warrior brains 🧠

Theres full bis
slap it into quick sim or smth
ty but its colossus aoe
Just replace the talent string with a slayer ST one
i guess yes
how to not do tank damage in m+ spec in ST
Same gear
Play better and pull 2 more mobs onto boss
As colossus only with funnel, Slayer does enough damage
cant do that with most bosses: (
Today I found the first good feral, they can blast like crazy
Did you kill dragons last night and get R1?
Nah raid is Tuesday
🙏
Dragons padding is rough with this comp
Raid lead made clear only me and enh are allowed to hit them

Just be Stjpa and have your raid lead tell everyone only the arms warrior and enhance shammy is gonna be allowed to hit them
Holy
tmy ahh
16 pit with 42% crit
Im gonna have such a blast
m+ colo build inbound
simbot is still telling me to get more crit
keep getting crit
Will be a worthy last prog kill with the guild
Have to
Can't raid on Tuesdays anymore soon
Benched before paladins
surely not on paladins as warr
F
There's a decent guild interested in me so maybe it works out
Otherwise I push title in M+
So what are ya'll running for keys? Slayer or colosus?
both
colossus
either one
Both
depends on the key
LOL
Spin Walhe spin!
Lmao
i cant play slayer shit pisses me off
Slayer is not better
Haha
walhe trolling until .5
your tank is just not pulling for u
Hopes and prayers
we pull foragers
Lil hard when you are in a dung you cannot pull onto boss
My orb pad..
ethical
I had a pretty good mythic dragons parse even with a Dev evoker and DH trying to steal my shit
ye goes hard on seat chains
im sad as i had a giga pull before the kill pull 🙁
did u get 30s bs again
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2745430139?t=12h57m43s
does this timestamp to me doing 1m dps
That keeps happening to me on voarsius
at least for me it felt like sending cS and demo on boss then giving adds the cleaves was the strat at least for my padding guild 😄
I played M+ Colo and hit the orbs!
based
The dks were pressing gorefiends on me so I kinda had to play Colo
guess I'll try colossus, learning so I was sticking to slayer for now
Slayer feels better pugging lol I've only had one good run colo pugging
But slayer blasts so it's fun
Doing more than when I was fury
y i think maisara is a colo key
For the avg player slayer is gonna be better almost always tbh
Maisara as Slayer feels weird
last boss u explode banners first and second u funnel
u should
pretty dure you can also pull hella funnel onto first boss
Im also not happy with Slayer in NPX ngl
u can always just pull warriors even if u dont chain
first boss we do some snap tech
man i hope
what io is armsrework
they decide to buff our st some more
cone whats your rio rn
idk i havent played cause easter
3663 or something but people i play with
are like 3750
so im gonna be 3750 soon
damn
im only at 2 18s lol
resil 18s gold incoming gonna buy ow skins
ye tbh we dont play much and our comp is mega ass
I didnt push for about 2 weeks until like today so Im finishing up 16 resil
brew mw spriest warr and a pug or someone we invite at thr time
xdd
actual boblow comp
Yo but you get PI holy wowie
add enh to it and it is decent
true
pi is actuallu huge
should be
in aoe at least
i swear aug reduces my dmg by 20%
Just play slayer and not worry about funnel
slayer giga funnels too xd
its so aids though
Ik but it's not as important as colo
ye
i hate how variant slayer is
Yeah
saves a lot of time
Just remember it avgs out in a key so it's whatever.
I'm just so done with Colo right now I just only wanna play slayer while I can even if the RNG can be annoying
Guaranteed slayer doesn't remain competitive with Colo all expansion seeing how TWW was all Colo the whole time
They gonna make some stupid change in 12.1 that kills slayer aoe
ngl im surprised its kinda competitive at all on aoe
considering how stupid cleave is baseline
Yeah Sims make you think that slayer is garbage compared to colo
But in reality it keeps up nicely
Yeah
and reap is tuned high
And it's getting a 20% buff next patch
I assume with the 20% buff its gonna be better to BS before cleaved
Is the overall good for a +7 ? trying to farm some items
i mean the logic remains the same i dont think bs tuning will change anything
but its such a meaningless optimization
i send based on vibes
if i can get more cleaves in mass exec i send bs before
I mean it's just more dmg to cleave before BS it's not something you are doing specifically. Like it's more logical to BS first to apply overwhelm stacks to make your cleaves hit harder. Cleave + potential reap procs just does more dmg than BS
So you wanna just press cleave over BS
ye but u send cleaves first to put cleave on cd
7s are gonna be hard to gauge because everything dies so quickly. That said, never good to be a stone's throw away from a tank 
while ure spinning ur cleave comes off cd so u basically get a cast for free
u might still want to get cleave on cd for the tier set but idk
but its like 0.3% or something
on sims
so u can just not do it and do just as well
Yeah for sure but if BS does enough dmg it's the same mentality get BS on CD to get it back faster. Idk the difference is minor that why I'm leading to believe that a 20% buff might get rid of that difference and just make it better
Cool dragon boss
not even a 99
washed or
true
whenever im mad i look at rogues and remember it can always be worse
ayy nice work
powerful
#notwashed
least popular spec rn i think
isn't it better on dragons as well
more justification to be brought to the raid than fury
(1 boss vs 0 bosses)
true
low hp mobs that reach mass exec fast = bs first
:basedge:
Holy king shit. Surprised you even got all that were the padders not padding and you were able to press cleave after demolish?
most warrior dps players play fury cus the class fantasy is cooler
The padders died before last 2 orbs
:omega
did you use the cursed technique of pinging somewhere to kill them right before execute
This stays gray on that boss
Lmao 🤣
based
Need the right one tho..
Fears come out more often than once a minute…
extra safety..
Mine was R3 at the time too lmao almost double the arms parses now
rank 3 and a 95
jesus

that means what, only what 40-something arms players cleared it?
at the time of that kill it was 59
neet that wcl ranking section will tell you the total parses
can some1 please explain to me why yellow plume is better than gaze ?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/k7FXERBhvKWJ1zDn36LjpP
will we get BS buff on 12.0.5 ?
because gaze isnt that great of a trinket for arms
yes the 20% BS buff is still happening that didnt get reverted
also i didnt know if you press it it becomes the blue one lol
oh i just cant find the post
and now it's more value haha
there hasnt been an official 12.05 patch notes post yet
so right now all you got is the timeline of ptr changes in the updates channel
i see
hope we can get more , like a little dessert.
BS already does pretty good dmg so the 20% will be pretty juicy
colo also get some big buffs
I might be wrong
things will need to be tested when the patch drops
but I feel like we're still in both hero trees are viable territory
cant really say for certain without actually playing.
4 demos a minute in aoe is pretty nutty
me when demo 15s cd
imagine if they also buff DW since its not part of cleave
the obvious hope is both remain good and competitive with each other. Being able to play preference like this is peak
👏

congrats on killing the worst fight this tier
hope rng didnt fuck u too hard
Fuck i must be out of the loop. Thought gaze was one of our 2 BIS

hasnt been bis since it was nerfed like right before the raid came out
I suck
gaze is still among the best trinkets but plume beats it slightly,

Well fuck me bloody. Whoops
I just want the trinket that makes me big
I just can't get the damage out man
hows your uptime are you really making sure you are pressing something every global and hitting something always?
thats usually most peoples problem with low dmg in raid
generally when you keep hitting the boss (uptime) you do decently good damage
lots of folks dont understand this

What hero spec did you use in this fight?
slayer
Did you use cleave and aoe talents?
everything except for mythic dragons, lightblinded vanguard, and maybe first boss if you want to pad
idk why i deal better dmg with coll [aoe only..st is nonexistent] than with slayer
Shouldn't you just go slayer for dragons? since the orbs are going to get exploded anyways
Yea I’ve used colossus in the first fight of voidspire, with the correct rotations you can top the meters
Actual gaming
even if orbs are getting exploded you can still atleast get demolish maybe a cleave on them every time
dayum ,how, wish our set items would switch from mastery to crit when switchign specs.
doesn't seem worth sacrificing all of the boss damage for one demolish and a cleave on a bunch of adds that will die instantly anywyas
yeah, colossus is better for logs but if your raid has dmg bottleneck playing slayer is probably better
yo gentlemen, having trouble wrapping my head around cd alignements on colo. are yall holding ava/cs for ravager or sending ravager every other burst
what is ur avg dps in both raid and m+
im only now getting arms ready for vanguard prog tomorrow haven't actually played it yet lol
Post a fight log in #1347646810457636974 ppl will be able to give you more detailed help
How's your ilvl parse look m8?
A link not a screenshot
you never hold cs ever pretty much
gotcha,
except for niche scenarios or if its the last one you will cast
like obv hold for orbs on vaelgor
I was prob over thinking it, thanks
other stuff gets held for cs
but not other way around
ngl it took me like 20 keys to stop casting ravager on autopilot
God I hate pressing ravager hahaha
what is ilvl parse ?
Your parse compared to people in your gear level vs all players
how to check that
On the right coloumn you will find a % parse compared to other on your gear ilvl
on "ilvl %"
It’s also kinda cope
personally I'm hard carried by my gear so my cope is avoiding ilvl parse kek
Ilvl parse is fake
I'm like "cool, i parsed an 87" then my ilvl parse is like... 13
The problem with ilvl parse
is sample size
You're getting compared to a comedically smaller sample size for parses
Espically if you're "behind" the curve (most people are 270 rn I believe)
And its only gonna get better
15 sec cd demolis ayayayaya
nah just cc with para

15 sec cd demolish in 12.0.5 (AOE) ?
HOLY
, I need the trinket from first boss (on use haste)
I will bonus roll that shit, it doesn't wanna drop in raid 
read the talent fervor of battle
Is it always worth it to swap from a heroic piece to the tier equivalent with the catalyst function?
if you dont have 4pc yes
in 12.0.5
so once at 10 stacks, if you sweep MS and both crit
thats -20 seconds on remaining cd
gib link? sowwy
Hey everyone! Here are the changes to the 12.0.5 PTR this week:

Hello o/ Anyone know what could be causing this https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/14BZjayhgqP6zvtJ?type=damage-done&source=46&fight=34&ability=1 ?
No rage generation, no auto attacks outside of avatar pretty much, happened a couple pulls towards the end
isnt slayer bricked with reap no longer proccing from sudden death?
it still does, they went back on that change
check #updates-midnight
unannounced hotfixes, but it appears they reverted the thane thunderclap avatar and reap on ST changes
In gamba we trust
you are very out of date
i feel like i suck ass at st in colossus
You do
We all do
Cuz colo st is probally the worst in the game
Oh
the gamba is worse
dumb question, is there ever a time you want to pool rage instead of spending it on slam?
and in ST if they are above 35%, is slam a higher priority than cleave? (assuming you have cleave since aoe build)
this timer is super pretty
where get
Realistically not really
also for the cleave aoe question
yhes
during rava
awesome thank you. last rotational question, I didn't see heroic strike in the AOE rotation on either wowhead or icyveins; I'm assuming its lower than mortal strike but higher than overpower but when should i be using it?
fervor of battle auto-slams for u
In 3t plus cleave auto uses heroic strike
itll sweep it too
when was it changed from 2 to 3
in midnight
and I guess if its 2T its just treated as a ST encounter than you SS in
so fucked up
Yup
imagine if we never had to hero strike on 2
Yeah but then you have to use cleave on 2t
That's interesting on 3+ what do you press besides cleave? This where I think I loose deeps in m+? Is overpower => Cleave fine. Avatar - Colossus - but do you work MS / Execute procss too?
overpower for dreadnaught, MS with sweep, and sudden death for reap procs if slayer
so is a general idea to use 2 abilities in between every cleave and 3 abilities in between every MS? just to keep both being used on cd
So Ignore Heroic Strike procs - Just go overpower - ms - cleave on 3+? (Outside big cooldowns?)
cleave is your prio. always keep it on CD
Sudden death procs next prio
then just always be casting
I'm not sure of prio between dreadnaught and MS tbh, someone smarter than me can answe that
It's also extremely satisfying to play. That little 'Whoosh-Crunch' combo tickles my dopamine release tap 😑💕
hey guys, howcome alot of arms warriors in raid are using this trinket? and is it worth using (gaze i think is better but i dont have that)
cant speak about arms (fury player) but its better than most maxed out hero trinkets and some myth trinkets
I thought bloodmallet was bin?
its called CoEE
specifically CoEE[Predation+Sustenance+Violence]
its just a very high budget crit trinket and we like crit a lot, if you dont get any of the best 3 trinkets on myth or hero itll be the next best thing
bloodmallet is fine as an indicator but better to sim your own character, bloodmallet has a dummy trinket that doesnt nothing (or close to nothing i think) in the other slot and otherwise bis gear
unless it has changed how it works ofc
if you are going to use it, make sure you have done the first 3 upgrades at the machine in voidstorm
PS: is arms / fury single DPS a bit behind on raids / under tuned? I feel like M+ I manage to keep up with damage with other classes in 10+ Keys with the colossus arms build - but the single target on both Fury Slayer and Arms Slayer seems 35-45% below the rest in raids. I could also be that I suck and I know my Mythic+ rotation a lot more.
Thank you guys 😄
single target (particularly colossus) is definitely behind but it isn't 35-45% behind
Also Slayer Arms will have a terrible opener and kind of low damage until execute phase, where you'll slowly catch up
meaning that if you're doing normal/heroic raid and the bosses die really fast, you won't have much time to catch up
Hi zergers. Is rend not important in ST? Looking in icy veins I don’t see it in opener and it’s low in priority list.
it's kinda low on the priority list but it will almost always be up regardless
and tbh it barely makes any difference if you just apply it right away and refresh it on pandemic
Thanks man. Are you saying it will always be up because other abilities apply it? Sorry I’m new to Warrior
Mortal strike applies it when a target is below 35% hp, and even when they aren't, you have a lot of opportunities to refresh rend when your higher prio abilities are on cooldown
does it matter crafting axess or polearms ?
Nah
or they both the same no some talent prefer sharp
Ik you said axes or polearns but sword is the most crafted cause more people are specced into it
Sword will be easiest to find but there is no gameplay difference between any 2 hander as long as it's equal ilvl and str
cuz i maxed on crafting blut weapons
Thanks man!
is it correct to overpower over execute if sudden death isnt at 2 stacks? wowhead doesnt recommend it but i dont understand why. slayer
Basic goal is to not ragecap
So if you are not over 90 you can send an overpower yes
No it isnt correct to OP over execute (SD) in non execute phase. In execute phase its just all about rage management as much as you can. Only thing that is important is prioing OP when under 90 rage over execute. You shouldnt really ever get 2 stacks of SD while in execute phase due to the priority
yep execute phase i understand, i mean non-execute phase. interesting, i've been playing it wrong then since i figured it wouldn't matter unless you overcap
I always just press exe when I get a sd proc, why wouldn’t you? Reap does good aoe dmg
A SD execute is a lot more dmg than OP
alright that makes sense, tyvm!
Even during my cleave spam after cs I will send a sd procs over it reap does rly good dmg
will test it out
in aoe cleave is sitll highest prio over 1 SD
To use Algeth'ar Puzzle Box
What is the right way to do that
Use it whenever it's off CD or should I make sure my CDs are off
anyone know how to make the details addon track dmg through out the whole dungeon
set it to overall
but make sure to reset it inbetween dungeons
or you'll get a messy pool of data soup
dont think I have overall
cant open a tab for overall idk why
you open a tab for damage done, and set it's Recording time to Overall instead of Current Segment
I'd send Screenshots, but I don't use details anymore
do u use the ingame one?
click the paper icon and change it from current segment to overall
got it tysm!
Is Algeth'ar Puzzle Box worth using mid fight?
yes
idk, I hate that thing, I've been told you use it just before pull, but Idr midfight details sorry
let me know if u find out please 😄
you can save it for your next CS
will do
or this lol
can line it up with your next CS/BS combo or CS/Demo
Damn, is the updates channel actually some good news?
unofficial so keep your hopes tempered.
Fair
bold of you to assume I have hopes
understood
so i try to cast it 3 times while avoiding ground stuff, ultimately do no dam, and scream
are gem sims slightly bugged rn? its telling me to gem mastery even though my crit is super low like 20%
like the url or the whole import string
URL usually
how long should you hold BS (if CS is on CD)
Till it’s back
always send bs with another cd
until cs is off cd
Gotta line it up with cs
oh damn good to know
unfortunately this is just a plain link to start simming, do you have the one for the /report itself?
while we're here, if BS has a 13 sec CD and CS just came off CD, should I hold for BS?
there's been a couple times that CS and avatar have a ~2-5s desync; do I just hold CS until avatar is up? trying to improve arms gameplay, only have played fury/prot for the last couple seasons
yes
yes, hold literally everything for CS
bear in mind that your 4pc Tier extends the duration of your CS, so you can send it a little early if needed
gonna set it to glow when its available until the muscle memory has been built in
but all of Arm's Major CDs are designed for CS to be applied before you use them
think of CS like a checkpoint
if Avatar comes up, but CS is 10 sec away, just hold it til the next CS
not hold CS for 10s?
right, but you dont need to hold CS
both CS and Avatar are bound together, so if they're desynced it's bc you messed up elsewhere
me when i constantly forget i have avatar and end up 12s desynched
CS has 1/2 the cooldown of Avatar
Both CS and Avatar are impacted by the same cooldown reduction (Anger Management)
45s vs 90s; basically if i delay CS it'll get desynced
so dont delay CS
got it
yuppers
in between packs in m+ is kinda rough too
sometimes youll just have them desynching
downtime between Dungeon Packs will imapct that, obviously, but just send CS
it be like that
is there a macro for puzzle box anymore?
here's the link to the wierd sim https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/w2X1gd5ar8CrNgL8zt93VX
also its saying zuljins better than the crit enchant
simming for vanguard
you're not changing anything - notice there are only like... 3 results?
or that there's big green text at the bottom of the page saying 3 combinations before you hit Find Top Gear?
lol do i need to do more than highlight all the gems/ enchants?
yes, that will only add gems to empty sockets
need to click replace all gems/enchants
if you want to replace gems, you need to either empty them first or check the box that says to replace gems
We love a good gorillion iteration sim
haha thanks damn im a dummy
no, the macro was a byproduct of a talent that was removed (and the macro broke long before that)
you can still macro trinkets in general with /use 13 (first slot, or 14 for second), but there's no channeling while bladestorming any more
It’s the only way to be sure
Kinda feels great playing arms again after playing Fury since the start of midnight idk why but always feel like i do more dps when playing arms even when ive been told its not doing well.
should i be going slayer for low keys?
thats What ive been doing personally and wroking fine not as good AoE dmg but ive done more dmg against bosses tho
both are good in low keys
what.
zerker rage removes the weekly affix
For the tier more or less yeah
Really feels like a wait for S2 angle unfort. Maybe a cheeky .7 rework but I doubt it
Question for arms M+
Lets say in an AOE pull
Cleave
Mortal Strike
Overpower
(Now Mortal Strike up again, but 0.5 secs left on cleave to be up)
Do I wait for cleave or send the MS up?
abc always be casting
Ok but I was watching a vid of critcake playing arms he was in same situation and he would wait for cleave to be up (although his wait was like 0.3 seconds maybe more haste)
So uh, what's the colossus st opener? I see nothing in the writeups, is it just rend-ravager-avatar-warbreaker-ms-cleaves-demolish-move to st rotation listed in writeups?
(as m+ colo)
think u prolly just send a naked colo if u have no stacks with cs on pull
should come back about the same time as next cs
think its too cringe to desync them
That works
can maybe also ravager after demolish ends probably insignificant either way
but maybe get 1-2 more cleaves off with the 35% cleave dmg buff
Not sure then! That dosent sound right,atleast from what i know but if crits doing it consistantly go nus
yea i mean if mortal strike is avail and cleave is about to come off i mean its prolly a little silly to not just hit the mortal strike but cleave is certainly more damage on aoe
but like if you MS cleave is gonna be ur immediate next button you press
a change that small is probably pretty irrelevant either way, im sure crit just saw the cooldown of cleave be like half a second slower than the gcd from hitting the previous button and was just slamming cleave
cuz it wont show the like "cooldown number" on an ability once its like that close to gcd i think
ARMS IS BAAACCKK!!
It never left
Is there ever a situation where u press cleave on 1 or 2 targets for slayer
over slam when boss is under 35% hp
2 targets u just do ur st rotation with sweeping up? U never press cleave right?
cleave over slam with x3 collat stacks
Ok I see
more than 0
I have 248 😂😂😂
If I switch jewellery weapon and non crafted gear should make it to 1000ish
Im doing it f it
Btw simming wise just use PW and DS or is there a custom sim that’s better
Dslice is dead just do patchwork sims
Roger that but even for AoE?
aoe sims are always a meme but either way still patch work for any aoe sims u want to do
Thanks 🙏 got a lot of changes to do let’s hope I don’t brain melt
Got the trinket from first boss VS mythic swapped it for vorasius trinket champion version
There's no hardset rule
If you have a reasonable amount of haste, you can always take consumables to give you more crit
You'll be pretty much right to go
I will switch up gems also
the Pit of saron neck and belt are real good for arms (so is saladbar's one), the void ring from xenas, cape from MT and boot from chimaerus
i was in the same situation as you and most of these got me to around 800 crit and with consumables i get to 1.1 easy
rest of my gear is fury centered but with these adjustments i got to a confortable point
and voracius hero trinket and gaze hero aswell
as for the other trinket, if you dont have gaze, the yellow prism from skyreach or the crucible (with all 3 effects unlocked)
Heart of wind is a decent alternative
Just run a top gear sim and see how much of a difference your gear would be with crit
Guarantee it’s not even a huge number, especially as slayer
I swear ranged players are terrorists, twice now a ranged has sniped a melee arrow from me in windrunner on last boss
nothing new
charge > rend > ava > CS > cleave x4 > MS and because we can extend CS with cleave you just build up demolish to 10 stacks and send it
also throw in ravager
before cleave spam
Not seeing many folks running puzzle as arms, simmed out as like an 8k dps in 10 tar 40s, is arms able to escape using that trinket?
it sims ahead, but fuck me if I can remove one more bit of jank between all the seperate cds
ye i just refuse to use it personally
no on use gaming for me xdd
surely i get guidon soon
surely i roll above 30
this tier
Yea might just use normal vorasius trinket+rep trinket and call it good til I get a heroic+ skyreach trinket and whatever else
puzzle just adding more jack to colo
You better have the upgrades for the renown trinket then
Cuz otherwise the sim is fake
have all upgrades
I see so many people running around with it and Im sure very few of them actually have those
reminds me should pug out a heroic vorasius kill
how is the .5 patch affecting arms numbers wise
feel like I must be doing something wrong im always gapped by rets in 15-16s as slayer arms
so many mechanics where u lose uptime
Both hero specs buffed
How is 2t prio as colossus,
MS>Cleave>OP>HS?
follow the ST prio, send 3 collat cleaves as a filler
Hey! For keys where slayer arms is more beneficial than colossus, is it just better to play fury? I feel like slayers arms is just super weak
guys, where can i read about the future changes of arms?
no
on paladins do you wait for then to gather to WB demo? or just send on 2, on cd?
Both are fine, it's honestly more preference than performance
Fury is good too, and maybe can outperform slayer arms in keys but if fury does outperform slayer then likely Col would be just fine
On hc I just send on cd
On mythic I will find out next week
Wowhead and #updates-midnight
im asking on mythic xD
It’s more the fact that slayer and colossus ST in keys is just abysmal in comparison to fury, and in keys where it’s a 5 pack average slayer feels like it falls short
Check lorrrgs
i feel bad holding it, but the hold time is like 5sec max, unless my tanks are pepega
Reasons?
arms still funnels way better even as slayer
thank you friend
during entire key, u prio target a lot
Not quite abysmal honestly the prio target is good
We just may fall short on bosses and even then it's a non-issue
i mean how can u feel slayer arms falls short on 5 targets?
the Cleave dmg on ST
is still MAD
Which key/key level averages 5 targets per pull?
Tbh tank was a bit shit so that might have a reason
Skill issue
Was about to say, you prob just had a bad tank
We did a skyreach 13 and the most I could muster as slayer arms was 100k overall
Sorry 14
But yeah pulls felt weird
shills
Tbh your also not wrong there
I am the same dw
Arms has been dogshit for god knows how long
Nice to see it’s getting its moment though
And colossus is honestly super fucking fun
If your tank doesn’t run around like a lunatic
AA with pug tanks 
Don’t get me started on AA
Had one flame me because he was running around like a maniac on first pull instead of kiting properly and I couldnt dps that way
well then it might be u
Tbh AA is definitely a slayer key
ye it is
boss wise yes
Highest ST dps Ive done was 92k on 2nd boss SR
I mean my sim pulls out 65k so it’s not a terrible difference




<= me
