I love slayer too much.

fervent cedar
#

yes, I play both and slayer definitely feels good to play

flat willow
#

but you got a whole bunch of them peddling their sudden death rng

fervent cedar
#

however, I personally also really like colossus just because it feels good to have a niche

limber apex
#

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)

tawdry bear
#

I got a super lucky proc streak and almost broke 100k dps on varasus

fervent cedar
#

insane aoe is a fair enough trade off for the shit st to me

daring prairie
#

Not that bad

#

That's what I've been doing

#

Just try to replace the neck

fervent cedar
#

if you have jewelry you can switch up your stats some

#

drink a mastery flask

tawdry bear
#

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%

daring prairie
#

Yeah our mastery isn't the worst

flat willow
#

idk I guess demolish grew on me, like a fungus

kind stag
#

im fine with demolish but i cant get over ravager

flat willow
#

I just hated that button so much

#

now it's my friend

oh

#

I misread mb

daring prairie
#

Also try to play with a shammy sugary is so important

wind flicker
#

I swear MC is so cursed

daring prairie
#

Legit night and day

#

I cannot time this shit for some reason

daring prairie
#

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

reef glade
#

That is a statement of all time for sure

daring prairie
#

But as a cooldown

#

Like its what I want

#

Slow. But powerfull

#

Push this key to fuck

thick kelp
#

"powerful"

reef glade
#

yea the only good part of ravager is buffing your cleave by like 30% while its up

#

that’s just about it

fervent cedar
daring prairie
#

Exactly

#

Now why they couldn't just bake it i to avatar

#

I don't know

reef glade
#

it’s p dumb and cringe on the whole tho

#

yea

daring prairie
#

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

kind stag
#

used to macro it

daring prairie
#

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

latent pasture
#

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

daring prairie
#

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

balmy kindle
#

M+ dmg profile is all Cleave KEKW

daring prairie
#

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.

tired sinew
#

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.

daring prairie
#

Yeah. Midway through cata iirc.

tired sinew
#

keeping that would have been cool

winter jungle
#

how do u reflect disintegrate on l'ura in seat

#

do u need to pre taunt?

daring prairie

I'll have to gice it a try maybe I just havet found the right weapon

#

tacit crystal
#

yeah

rare kite
#

this is crit on a +18 as slayer with stance mast. col has 5% dr more than slayer, someone do the math

tacit crystal
#

@thick kelp how untakeable is ignore pain

nova marsh
tacit crystal
#

except the number is so small

tacit crystal
#

how understatted is it

thick kelp
#

stuck in dragonflight

tacit crystal
#

it looks like barely 10% of my hp

thick kelp
#

50k and I have467k

tacit crystal
#

do you still have to press it like 5 times to stack it

thick kelp
#

yeah

tacit crystal
#

man

#

why

#

i swear if it was full value on 1 press

#

itd be broken btw

thick kelp
#

if it was 0 rage

tacit crystal
#

or if ip was still on am

#

🥀

thick kelp
#

1.1k flat crit pre-proc

i still havent recrafted weapon or cloak yet though

neat locust
#

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

thick kelp
#

arms>fury in raids

neat locust
#

i do worse dps as fury

warm fog
neat locust
#

i was stuck on 60k with ST and tried some cleave builds and made it barely to 70 at the very bottom

warm fog
#

Although this is kinda true for like half the tier

neat locust
#

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

rare kite

reef glade
#

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

thick kelp
reef glade
#

Is that not what it says

thick kelp
#

yeah but its like

#

"up to 50k"

reef glade
#

Ik prot says it can like stack or something I think no

thick kelp
#

so u need like 2-3 presses

#

for the 50k

#

afaik

#

was like that in tww

reef glade
#

doesn’t say up to 50 just says “until 50k dmg prevented”

#

unless they just lying on tooltips

thick kelp
#

wouldnt be the first time

reef glade
#

But makes it sound like the 50k is off 1 press surely

soft gust
#

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

thick kelp
#

listen to this guy @reef glade

soft gust
#

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

wind flicker
#

Okay, objective poll, Collos or Slayer in Seat

rare kite
#

col in seat anyday

wind flicker
#

Yeah thats my feeling too

clever crag
#

slayer is just so boring

#

colo is pure arms

wind hatch
clever crag
#

pure arms for being top dps every pack but tank dps on boss xeos

wind flicker
#

Collos it is

#

Tbh im enjoying collos so much

clever crag
#

yeah its just so good

#

every cleave dps meter go up

#

and no spinning

wind flicker
#

I mean on high keys its omega when u get the extra collos with mass execute

#

Best feeling

neat locust
#

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.

Arms warriors playing colossus on imperator are 100% just doing it for pad right?

thick kelp
#

yeah

sand totem
#

Its not pad! The adds gotta die! Its not pad its not its not

neat locust
#

he parses 100 so he knows what he is doing obv

mortal rivet
#

question, is there anyway in the cd manager for execute to glow for SD but not when execute is available?

slender sonnet
#

Doing mythic chim

#

without a shaman

#

and not enough mastery to go fury

#

this is painge

#

I feel so useless

sacred zodiac
slender sonnet
#

yeah maybe

#

but like sub 100 mastery

wind flicker
sacred zodiac
slender sonnet
#

yes that correct spec is arms

sacred zodiac
#

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

slender sonnet
#

I want to play arms

#

but 0 rage

are you playing paladin

wind flicker
#

Spongie is a man of many talents

sacred zodiac
#

i definitely have a paladin

nova marsh
#

That's crazy

vocal lily
#

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

wind flicker
#

U might want to drop quite some mastery for crit though

vocal lily
#

yeah im working on that now haha

wind flicker
#

ur stats are like mine reversed haha

meager ginkgo
#

opener doesnt seem to be described as slayer for multi target, do we bladestorm before or after spamming cleave 4x?

thick kelp
#

you can vibe it out

#

its abit more damage to bladestorm after but

warm fog
#

It feels odd to pop everything and then just spin for ever

#

Saving it for after the cleaves feels better

reef glade
#

Do u not get mbg as slayer after bs or is that ravager only

#

or just not taken talent idk

minor gust
#

Bruh MBG isn't even a talent anymore. MBG got baked into ravager

slayer giga funnels too xd

ye

i hate how variant slayer is

latent moss

still something u should always get

#

in a premade

if possible obv

minor gust
#

Yeah

latent moss
#

saves a lot of time

minor gust
#

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

latent moss
#

ngl im surprised its kinda competitive at all on aoe

#

considering how stupid cleave is baseline

minor gust
#

Yeah Sims make you think that slayer is garbage compared to colo

#

But in reality it keeps up nicely

latent moss
#

tbf this is the first time

#

bs does damage

minor gust
#

Yeah

latent moss
#

and reap is tuned high

minor gust
#

And it's getting a 20% buff next patch

dim basalt
#

BS might overtake Cleave in .5

#

Which sounds too good to be true

minor gust
#

I assume with the 20% buff its gonna be better to BS before cleaved

vapid spire
#

Is the overall good for a +7 ? trying to farm some items

latent moss
#

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

minor gust
#

So you wanna just press cleave over BS

latent moss
#

ye but u send cleaves first to put cleave on cd

dire hinge
latent moss
#

while ure spinning ur cleave comes off cd so u basically get a cast for free

#

but its like 0.3% or something

so u can just not do it and do just as well

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

did you use the cursed technique of pinging somewhere to kill them right before execute

will we get BS buff on 12.0.5 ?

minor gust

because gaze isnt that great of a trinket for arms

and now it's more value haha

minor gust

so right now all you got is the timeline of ptr changes in the updates channel

vast helm

hope we can get more , like a little dessert.

minor gust

BS already does pretty good dmg so the 20% will be pretty juicy

sturdy flicker

So slayer will be better?

#

I forget all the changes lol

minor gust

colo also get some big buffs

nova marsh
#

I might be wrong

minor gust
#

things will need to be tested when the patch drops

nova marsh

but I feel like we're still in both hero trees are viable territory

minor gust

cant really say for certain without actually playing.

#

4 demos a minute in aoe is pretty nutty

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

Im trying to

96% uptime accordingto logs

generally when you keep hitting the boss (uptime) you do decently good damage

lots of folks dont understand this

Nope

Do you use slayer in raid all the time?

idk why i deal better dmg with coll [aoe only..st is nonexistent] than with slayer

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

do more dmg

ravager has no purpsoe beyond buffing your cleaves

you never hold cs ever pretty much

vivid fox

gotcha,

last saddle
#

except for niche scenarios or if its the last one you will cast

#

like obv hold for orbs on vaelgor

vivid fox
#

I was prob over thinking it, thanks

last saddle
#

other stuff gets held for cs

#

but not other way around

#

ngl it took me like 20 keys to stop casting ravager on autopilot

how to check that

#

On the right coloumn you will find a % parse compared to other on your gear ilvl

#

on "ilvl %"

warm fog

It’s also kinda cope

sand totem
nova marsh
#

Ilvl parse is fake

sand totem
#

I'm like "cool, i parsed an 87" then my ilvl parse is like... 13

nova marsh
#

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)

HOLY wicked , I need the trinket from first boss (on use haste)

I will bonus roll that shit, it doesn't wanna drop in raid ratge

inland drift
#

huh? where did you se that

#

also do we use heroic strike in aoe, or at all?

minor gust
#

read the talent fervor of battle

vale warren
#

Is it always worth it to swap from a heroic piece to the tier equivalent with the catalyst function?

minor gust
#

if you dont have 4pc yes

so once at 10 stacks, if you sweep MS and both crit

thats -20 seconds on remaining cd

Cuz colo st is probally the worst in the game

#

Oh

#

the gamba is worse

mortal rivet
#

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)

jovial hare
nova marsh
#

also for the cleave aoe question

#

yhes

#

during rava

mortal rivet
#

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?

jovial hare
#

fervor of battle auto-slams for u

stable fiber
#

In 3t plus cleave auto uses heroic strike

jovial hare
#

never use hs on 3+ targets

#

just cleave

stable fiber
#

With no rage cost or gcd

#

Fervor is like the best talent we have ong

jovial hare
#

itll sweep it too

mortal rivet
#

oh what

#

that's wild

tacit crystal
minor gust
#

in midnight

mortal rivet
#

and I guess if its 2T its just treated as a ST encounter than you SS in

tacit crystal
#

so fucked up

tacit crystal
#

imagine if we never had to hero strike on 2

stable fiber
#

Yeah but then you have to use cleave on 2t

halcyon hamlet
#

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?

sand totem
#

overpower for dreadnaught, MS with sweep, and sudden death for reap procs if slayer

mortal rivet
#

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

halcyon hamlet
#

So Ignore Heroic Strike procs - Just go overpower - ms - cleave on 3+? (Outside big cooldowns?)

sand totem
#

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

#

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)

mortal rivet
livid plume
#

I thought bloodmallet was bin?

sand totem
#

Oh shit is it?

#

Tbh I dont even see crucible on bloodmallet so I might just be fucked

mortal rivet
#

its called CoEE

sand totem
#

Ohhhh

#

Gotcha

mortal rivet
#

specifically CoEE[Predation+Sustenance+Violence]

ionic mica
#

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

ionic mica
halcyon hamlet
#

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.

gritty mirage
#

Thank you guys 😄

wind hatch
elder zealot
#

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

tranquil anvil
#

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.

wind hatch
#

and tbh it barely makes any difference if you just apply it right away and refresh it on pandemic

tranquil anvil
wind hatch
deft tiger
#

does it matter crafting axess or polearms ?

stable fiber
deft tiger
#

or they both the same no some talent prefer sharp

stable fiber
#

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

deft tiger
#

cuz i maxed on crafting blut weapons

stable fiber
#

That's fine

#

Makes 0 diff

deft tiger
#

good to hear

#

thank you

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

barren void
#

Basic goal is to not ragecap

#

So if you are not over 90 you can send an overpower yes

minor gust
echo geode
#

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

keen siren
barren void
#

Non exe you send sd

#

Not overpower

minor gust
#

A SD execute is a lot more dmg than OP

keen siren
#

Yea cuz realp

#

Reap

minor gust
#

no need to delay SD

#

we arent playing with jugg min maxing like in TWW

echo geode
#

alright that makes sense, tyvm!

keen siren
#

Even during my cleave spam after cs I will send a sd procs over it reap does rly good dmg

echo geode
#

will test it out

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

grim anchor
#

anyone know how to make the details addon track dmg through out the whole dungeon

tight wing
#

set it to overall

#

but make sure to reset it inbetween dungeons

#

or you'll get a messy pool of data soup

grim anchor
#

dont think I have overall

tight wing
#

you should, even the base blizzard one has overall

#

it's instead of current segment

grim anchor
#

cant open a tab for overall idk why

tight wing
#

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

grim anchor
wind hatch
#

click the paper icon and change it from current segment to overall

like the url or the whole import string

how long should you hold BS (if CS is on CD)

vivid fox

Till it’s back

Gotta line it up with cs

mortal rivet

oh damn good to know

dire hinge
tight wing
mortal rivet
#

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

dire hinge
#

bear in mind that your 4pc Tier extends the duration of your CS, so you can send it a little early if needed

mortal rivet
#

gonna set it to glow when its available until the muscle memory has been built in

dire hinge
#

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

mortal rivet
minor gust
#

basically never hold CS always hold everything else for CS

mortal rivet
#

i guess 20% of the cd is rough

#

so basically dont fuck up timing with avatar

dire hinge
#

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

jovial hare
dire hinge
#

CS has 1/2 the cooldown of Avatar
Both CS and Avatar are impacted by the same cooldown reduction (Anger Management)

mortal rivet
#

so dont delay CS

#

got it

dire hinge
#

yuppers

jovial hare
#

in between packs in m+ is kinda rough too
sometimes youll just have them desynching

dire hinge
#

downtime between Dungeon Packs will imapct that, obviously, but just send CS

jovial hare
#

it be like that

is there a macro for puzzle box anymore?

#

or that there's big green text at the bottom of the page saying 3 combinations before you hit Find Top Gear?

vivid fox
#

lol do i need to do more than highlight all the gems/ enchants?

smoky kayak
#

yes, that will only add gems to empty sockets

reef glade
#

need to click replace all gems/enchants

smoky kayak
#

if you want to replace gems, you need to either empty them first or check the box that says to replace gems

reef glade
#

will prolly bump your 13 combos up to like 50000 tho

#

so gl

#

We love a good gorillion iteration sim

vivid fox

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

should i be going slayer for low keys?

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?

daring prairie
#

abc always be casting

minor gust
#

but we dont cast

#

🤔

wet scroll
# daring prairie 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)

fair tinsel
#

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)

reef glade
#

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

fair tinsel
#

That works

reef glade
#

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

daring prairie
#

Not sure then! That dosent sound right,atleast from what i know but if crits doing it consistantly go nus

reef glade
#

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

sacred lodge
#

ARMS IS BAAACCKK!!

minor gust
#

It never left

keen siren
#

Is there ever a situation where u press cleave on 1 or 2 targets for slayer

minor gust
#

over slam when boss is under 35% hp

keen siren
#

2 targets u just do ur st rotation with sweeping up? U never press cleave right?

minor gust
#

cleave over slam with x3 collat stacks

keen siren
#

Ok I see

nova vessel
#

Ok roughly how much crit should I need to make arms work

#

Haste/mastery stats atm 😭

minor gust
#

more than 0

nova vessel
#

I have 248 😂😂😂

minor gust
#

nice now you can press N and swap to arms

nova vessel
#

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

minor gust
#

Dslice is dead just do patchwork sims

nova vessel
#

Roger that but even for AoE?

minor gust
#

aoe sims are always a meme but either way still patch work for any aoe sims u want to do

nova vessel
#

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

tepid hull
#

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

nova vessel
#

I will switch up gems also

dawn bane
#

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)

novel jackal
#

Heart of wind is a decent alternative

marsh needle
#

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

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?

puzzle just adding more jack to colo

dim basalt

You better have the upgrades for the renown trinket then

#

Cuz otherwise the sim is fake

have all upgrades

the Cleave dmg on ST

Where fury was pulling 85k

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

It sounds more like you’re just better at playing Fury

Arms has been dogshit for god knows how long

Nice to see it’s getting its moment though

If your tank doesn’t run around like a lunatic

AA with pug tanks keks
