and do some good st buffge

thick kelp
#

arms bis profile doesnt use seat gloves nor ring set

#

gloves are actually bad but ring set sims within variance for ST but falls off in aoe

safe jay
#

Walhe i got smoked from my rl critcake because i told him Beloren Mythic is Arms boss

#

only log is fury so basically 100% of available data is fury xD

#

Leveled my warrior to lvl 90 right now, what crafts are the way to go then, weapon without Embellishment and bracers/cloak with arcanoweave?

reef glade
#

those r fine, weapon embell pretty good too so up to you to sim which embell combo better

daring heron
safe jay
#

i already showed him your Streams on Crown " Look warri not that bad" but still bench. sadge

#

Melee seems to be suboptimal across the board on that fight but whatever

slow saddle
#

Collosus arms ? in 12.05 ?

#

for the ones like me that will be slow to him ?

leaden garnet
#

Here's a crazy take about which spec is better for which encounter: unless you're aiming for an orange or better parse, stick with the spec you know how to pilot and which has all of your muscle memory :)

fast warren
#

what if you dont know how to pilot either of them

eager current
#

Anybody make sense of the patch notes? So In the end what happens with slayer sudden death and the colossus changes?

#

In the development notes it says no longer works with sudden death but in the additional changes it says it doesn't need an additional target?

untold pewter
#

It's not a crazy take it's the baseline

dim basalt
inland drift
#

yaay

dim basalt
#

SD Reap works as it does now and we got the 20% BS damage in addition, afaik

inland drift
#

finally some good news

#

unlike in midnight getting nerfed 5 times

dim basalt
#

And demolish will still reduce by 5 seconds per excess CM stack

inland drift
#

i wish i could change the sound of demolish

vapid pine
dim basalt
#

Assuming aoe you will now be able to have one demolish between a cs + demo window

#

Cuz the cd is around 15s

vapid pine
dim basalt
#

According to Walhe the cd of demo in .5 is around 15 seconds

#

So you hold a few seconds at most

vapid pine
#

Even worse tbh, stuck in channel twice as often 💀 But that's a taste thing then

eager current
#

But in wowhead the latest post says otherwise no?

dim basalt
#

Slayer will still do fine

silk rock
#

so is slayer cooked now is collosus the way to go ? when new patch

dim basalt
#

But col will defo catch up in terms of ST dps

#

I believe reading about a 7% ST buff

dim basalt
#

In a team col will always be better in certain keys

#

Dont think col will be exclusively meta

silk rock
#

no sudden death giving slayer 100% reap will suc k

dim basalt
#

But we do have that

reef prairie
dim basalt
#

Thats what last nights ptr changes were about

silk rock
#

feeel shit i like getting that proc

#

oh ???

dim basalt
#

ye

reef prairie
#

they reverted that

silk rock
#

fk yeah awesome

dim basalt
#

So unless they change any numbers .5 will be a huge W for Arms in general

eager current
#

Is there an article yet?

#

We can read?

dim basalt
#

Not yet

minor gust
#

Everything is in here

#

This channel is your friend

silk rock
#

thanks!

eager current
#

It's my best friend

silk rock
#

will read

dim basalt
#

Official patch notes should come this week

eager current
#

My only consolation

untold pewter
eager current
#

Why is sudden death giving reap the storm bad?

reef prairie
#

wdym

untold pewter
#

It isn't

minor gust
#

It's not

dim basalt
#

Its not but Blizz kinda believes that

eager current
#

Oh read some comment above wrong

#

Thanks guys

dim basalt
#

@latent moss When do you use cds on last boss caverns? It genuinely feels cursed at times, probably because Im not using them correctly

#

And I cba playing that key a bunch of times to try different things

proud willow
#

I see that a lot of arms play colossus over slayer but between the keys im playing 12-14 i actually feel like i do more dmg with slayer. should that be the case? Just feel Colossus boss dmg is pretty bad.

minor gust
#

Both specs are good and both are being played at high level

#

Genuinely play what you want

proud willow
#

thats good news, i really like slayer's playstyle over colossus but was wondering as i push 15 and above does that cost a key

dim basalt
#

Nah it definitely doesnt

#

You can play Slayer in every key

#

Some keys are a bit col favored assuming you have a really good tank, due to aoe requirements, damage amps or boss mechanics but playing Slayer in those is still far from griefing

valid walrus
#

I don't get the ID change, what does it exactly mean?

minor gust
#

Ignore it the change was fully reverted to how it works right now

valid walrus
#

Ah thanks, that's why I was thinking , it is just so confusing with their constant changes

minor gust
#

It's not confusing

thick kelp
#

but Honestly doesnt publicl og

#

so you can tell your raid lead that its Arms or bench

thick kelp
#

cuz why the FUCK would you play fury on a 1T / 3T boss

#

Xd

safe jay
#

i asked myself the same question

dim basalt
#

Nono, why would you play Fury in general

thick kelp
#

more popular doesnt mean better

safe jay
#

im thinking about completely swapping to arms on all bosses. Still a little hesitant because my fury gear is better I think but whatever

fresh spire
#

Arms is starting to edge fury out in raid as pads getting smaller and smaller

thick kelp
fresh spire
#

Its arms job. Its boss damage to press cleave at the stack of adds while hitting 2 bosses

thick kelp
#

Real

#

I tripled our furys voidorb dam on our kill

#

and went basically even in boss dam

safe jay
#

our ranged bias in raid is unreal. We as melee "should not cleave the mobs coming up" range can cleave it and we can stay on boss

thick kelp
safe jay
#

yeah thats what fury is brilliant at

safe jay
#

obey commands or not obey

#

Chimaerus

#

pretty irrelevant but more nameplates are more fun

fresh spire
#

I think you play colossus on dragons in .5 and never cleave amymore

#

Just go full boss damage

safe jay
#

and I have to stay at the boss big sad

fresh spire
#

With execute deep wounds big sender

thick kelp
#

On chima its better to sit boss and just sweep off of adds ifthey r closer

reef prairie
#

i mean thats not even ridiculous but if its just reclear who cares lol

thick kelp
#

u arent gonna parse on that boss

#

unless you get to solo ads

safe jay
slow saddle
#

just remove

#

chima from any score

thick kelp
#

real

#

pad boss

slow saddle
#

like our tactic

#

i never get to cross middle

#

to kill adds

#

u risk running over some1

#

in general this tier all the free pad

#

is made for ranged players

karmic bronze
#

sp dream

safe jay
#

*this tier is made for ranged players

#

and the new class as usual

#

*specc

reef prairie
#

honestly nothing should be removed from logs is my take

#

legit every boss has cringe pad

#

okay not Every but half minimum

slow saddle
#

but like chimera u arent allowed to target em basicly 😛

#

its a shitty tier tbh

reef prairie
#

i think the bosses are fun

slow saddle
#

i say again imagine if Collosus had done the slayer amount of ST

#

collosus wouldda been so freakin mad pad and boss then 😄

#

tbf kiwi in heroic i had fun

#

in mythic it seems the "spell" theyve added is one the restrictcs melees

reef prairie
#

i think the only super ranged bias fight is alleria

slow saddle
#

bela

#

chimera

#

lura

reef prairie
#

i dont think chimaerus is really ranged bias. its also

#

a piss easy boss

slow saddle
#

tbh 2nd boss as well in prog

#

i mean m8 u cant run over ppl

#

how can u say thats not range bias

reef prairie
#

thats not a ranged thing lol

slow saddle
#

and yes boss is super easy

#

i mean it does not affect range

#

where as we do not get to move directly to shit

#

again better raid grps easier for melee

#

but in an avg guild man i promise u

#

its a shit show

reef prairie
#

belo definitely has your ranged doing most of the mechs but lura didn't seem like it was that bad for melee

slow saddle
#

hmm

reef prairie
#

not there yet tho

slow saddle
#

u do know they brough 0

#

melee

dim basalt
#

Chimaerus is not ranged biased

slow saddle
#

to lura

dim basalt
#

Youre split into left and right side anyway

slow saddle
#

well u cant go easy pad adds

dim basalt
#

And never cross the middle in intermission

slow saddle
#

everytime i do some range is in the way

reef prairie
#

thats just your ranged being in the wrong spot or you going to the wrong spot

dim basalt
#

^

slow saddle
#

well i cant get to adds

#

without hittin em

reef prairie
#

again, positioning issue. oyu also don't Need to hit those adds

thick kelp
#

what boss are we malding over

topaz python
#

if a boss requires specific positioning to allow melee to exist it is already rdps biased

dim basalt
#

If any boss is biased its paladins

reef prairie
#

chimaerus is not rdps biased man

#

you do not need to hit those small adds

topaz python
#

chimaerus is 100% easier without melee so dunno what you guys are discussing even

reef prairie
#

you can have 100% uptime

#

all the time

topaz python
slow saddle
#

not talking about killing the boss

reef prairie
#

you don't even play differently

slow saddle
#

killing the boss is piss easy

reef prairie
#

you can still hit the adds with ranged in your group

#

LOL

topaz python
#

parsing on chimaerus on melee? keks

slow saddle
#

y as i was trying to say that is freaking hard

#

if guild dont super cater to u

thick kelp
#

if u wanna parse on chima you BAN your entire downstairs group from hitting the adds

reef prairie
#

you are either doing something dumb or your ranged are doing smth dumb

thick kelp
#

outside of you

topaz python
reef prairie
#

i've definitely went before the madness

#

also don't think hitting those mobs is doing much for you unless you ban everyone else from hitting them anyway

topaz python
#

well, then your team is sticking to the walls i guess, which is pointing out specific gameplay to allow melee to exist on this fight
if you play classic center divide and adds come from north, boss on south, you wont get any time to hit adds

bleak fog
#

So is it only me that have this kind of treatment when it comes to alt? :D...

reef prairie
#

so they don't cleave eachother

#

my friend

topaz python
#

sides - right
not the walls man

dim basalt
reef prairie
#

you realize the range on that cleave is not super large

bleak fog
dim basalt
topaz python
#

ye, but adds pretty much all the time go through center where madness is resolved

reef prairie
#

shrug, chimaerus is really not a ranged bias fight

bleak fog
#

Thing is my monk found a warbound Puzzle for my warrior 😄

#

Champ..

#

And ofc he spawn this from weekly Q

#

I mean.. Why play main when you just get flowed on alt? 😄

reef prairie
#

alleria is pretty ranged bias though fuck that fight

steep tree
#

it sucks being melee these days

topaz python
#

alleria is a shit show

steep tree
#

all bosses got a massive aoe on their location

dim basalt
#

Alleria will be my first encounter in my new guild copium

reef prairie
#

its honestly fun

dim basalt
#

Is it though

reef prairie
#

i enjoyed it

dim basalt
#

I really disliked it on heroic

reef prairie
#

you probably wont like it on mythic then lol

minor gust
#

Alleria is a p3 waiting room

topaz python
steep tree
#

on normal it is so easy

dim basalt
#

rip

minor gust
#

Can finally have fun in p3 as arms

topaz python
dim basalt
#

P3 looks fun but everything before is eh

molten rapids
#

I know i am suppose to wait for patch notes but ppl keep saying arms is getting buffed in 0.5
But only thing I see is ST Buff with Demolish CDR + Slam Mortal Wounds and after that 1 less free cleave and no mortal wounds on cleave
some extra range on Rend
And nerf practice strikes from 20 to 15%

What am i missing or is this ST buff big

minor gust
#

For Colo specifically it's like a 7% ST buff

#

Both hero specs getting buffed currently for 12.05

slow saddle
odd ledge
#

higher reap the storm proc chance i guess

minor gust
#

Wdym how?

umbral badger
#

so they reversing slayer's nerf but keeping the buff

#

damn that's crazy

minor gust
#

It's not a buff it's always been 20% proc chance

umbral badger
#

hmm

odd ledge
umbral badger
#

wait i thought it was 15 and became 20

#

bro fat fingers and phone is such a bad combo

#

i can't type

minor gust
#

It's 20 now in live

umbral badger
#

i see, i only swap to slayer cuz i have to so i have no idea lol

#

other wise i'd never go slayer

#

i don't know where do we see the entire changes list

#

i looked adn all i always find is several notes for several weeks and so on

odd ledge
#

Imminent Demise no longer requires Sudden Death to damage a second target to trigger Reap the Storm.

thats the buff i guess?

minor gust
#

There is no consolidated list until Blizz releases official 12.05 notes

#

If you wanna see all the changes go in the updates channel

umbral badger
#

yea but i don't see 12.0.5 in that channel yeti think they are waiting final round of tuning for that patch

minor gust
#

Scroll up it's all there

umbral badger
#

also i just lost that channel lol wtf

#

gotta reactivate ito r some shit sec

thick kelp
#

Just wait for the final .5 patch notes lol

minor gust
plucky fern
#

was there any details on demolish changes? is it 5sec per gcd or not
If not i guess we are sending demolish every 10 seconds in aoe keks

umbral badger
odd ledge
#

ayoooo

#

20% bs buff ?

#

thats yuge

umbral badger
#

dunno that's what i am seeing on update channel :p

#

it's not a huge ST buff

#

but it is a buff

odd ledge
#

i thought bs is already fine as it is, my dmg goes up in st

#

so i appreciate any number lol

minor gust
#

Every single change listed in updates is happening but the SD change

#

That's the only thing reverted

umbral badger
#

yea even in update channel you still need to scroll up and down or filter 12.0.5 changes but anyhow

#

even a small buff is welcome

#

for slayer

#

i'd rather slayer be stronger than colossus slightly on ST so that colossus does not end up getting nuked somehow 😄

odd ledge
#

slayer for life

#

arms without spin aint arms

umbral badger
#

so at 35% crit maybe roughly 13.5 seconds per mortal sweeping hit after 10 stacks

#

i do think that this might mean we better of always sending dmeolish at zero stacks on first pull instead of stacking 10 times ? where is joey when i need him

daring heron
#

i cant wait to find ways to die to demolish twice as often

umbral badger
slow saddle
umbral badger
#

damn, as original as always bro

slow saddle
#

i still thought it was a 1-2% nerf

slow saddle
#

as u MS A lot and loose all the MS procs

minor gust
#

It was a 1% nerf before the revert

slow saddle
#

ok, ye the slam thing

#

prob helps

#

in st

minor gust
#

DW on slam and BS buffs make up for the loss of reap

slow saddle
#

looses us some aoe... but at this point just give me as much ST as u can

minor gust
#

Now SD can proc reap on ST again

umbral badger
#

hahaha i actually died irl laughing cuz of critcakes demolish change, i guess getting rooted by demolish can kill you irl too

daring heron
#

lmao

#

i wish slayer was the play

#

it's super fun actually

slow saddle
#

i would wish the Bleeds from Execute was bigger

#

in st

#

so they could buff our st that way

minor gust
#

Slayer will remain good but like if your doing group keys it's hard not to play Colo

umbral badger
#

since slayer is doing good

slow saddle
#

20% MORE buff

#

like slayer still needs pure st in raid imho

#

could just make AA hit harder again i guess

umbral badger
#

wait let me re-read that BS buff

slow saddle
#

that doesnt affect anythin but st

#

and cant be cleave

umbral badger
#

(Slayer) Unrelenting Onslaught now also increases damage dealt by Bladestorm by 20%.

#

ok so basically every bladestorm

#

is 20% more dmg

#

that's good aoe buff

thick kelp
#

if u add 20% to 0 its still 0

umbral badger
#

come ooon bladestorm aoe is not that bad

#

lol

slow saddle
#

thats the main issue

#

i mean

#

what if

minor gust
#

It isn't just a slayer hater

slow saddle
#

Bladestorm automaticly

#

threw out CLEAVES

#

if more than 1 target

#

😄

minor gust
dim basalt
#

Walhe is just memeing

slow saddle
#

more cleave power

dim basalt
#

BS is like 3rd in damage in M+

#

Will prob be 2nd tied with Cleave after buff

slow saddle
#

MY MAIN wish

#

Culling cyclone just being better in gen

#

in aoe as well

#

i want it at just 20% on aoe

#

so that u wanna press it asap and just FAAACK shit up

umbral badger
#

ofc we will still need ot figure out when the goats do the sims, if you wanna BS asap or wait to get the 20% buff up if you have no BS stacks

slow saddle
#

warrior needs bl Confirmed

umbral badger
#

@soft gust tribbiani

slow saddle
#

asked by paladin

minor gust
umbral badger
#

imagine the dream, if blizzard also added a colossus thing where slam does 20% or 30% more dmg under 35% , that might make me @#$

umbral badger
white canopy
#

The slayer strikes changes, looks like slayer arms

#

Is getting buffed?

minor gust
#

There are no slayers strikes change

umbral badger
#

only thing i see for slayer as a change now is the bladestorm 20% dmg

white canopy
#

I mean there is?

umbral badger
#

which is still good

white canopy
#

It says if you hit 3 times you get a execute proc

#

Hi (sorry for my english) why Warriors arms play masters,hasté weve the craft weapon ? Because we have more crit basic or other reasons ?

jovial hare
#

crit>haste>mast

#

oh

#

thats a good question actually

minor gust
#

Instead of being one of the many people confused about arms changes in 12.05 because they read the first set of notes and last set of notes and nothing else

jovial hare
#

ty for ur consideration

minor gust
surreal saffron
minor gust
#

If you like playing both arms and fury it would be better for your crafted gear to be haste mastery yes. If you only play arms it's much better to have Crit

bronze solar
#

why do many people mainly craft wrists even though they come from Averzian?

jovial hare
#

to put embels on them

#

if they dont
🤷‍♂️

thin quail
#

On dragons boss do you swap target to the adds or u just demolish the boss bc the adds are usually in 10yrd range?

vapid pine
#

They read wowhead bis list and don't care about early season performance

minor gust
#

More like wrists at the time were my lowest ilvl so I crafted wrists it's not complicated

odd ledge
#

i hope slayer and colossus stay like now, where both are good

#

for m+

kind stag
#

Blizz will fuck it up somehow

#

As usual

jovial hare
#

gonna be a random 20% nerf to ms in the notes

kind stag
#

Yep

why? good questions

is he a demo lock

i suffered too many years playing ww with animation lock to play demo war..stay good slayer 🙏

Ya

cus they're still bugged

#

lmao

#

what a tool

kind stag
#

Whats the bug even

minor gust
jovial hare
#

they're dealing extra dmg (like 4x) on some talent when they shouldnt be
blizzard said they fixed them
they have not

kind stag
#

Cool

#

Blizzard will keep it

#

Because locks need it

#

Nerf warrior

jovial hare

and im getting shit for nemesis spell reflect abuse still
but locks get these kinda bugs every xpac and no one bats an eye

minor gust
kind stag
#

Mages locks and devourers can be so far ahead its ok

slow saddle
#

yup

#

yes but collosus is closer

#

and any 2 target i bet

#

col does more now

#

ST that is

odd ledge
#

why 2 target?

minor gust
#

Idk the % in m+ builds but it's gonna get closer now

slow saddle
#

2 x the col

#

i mean demolish

odd ledge
#

does colo do even more aoe now?

#

with more demos

floral tide
#

I prefer demolish but very likely am going to get myself murdered with all those extra smashes

odd ledge
#

fuck man i think im just a weirdo but having a cast time and being animation locked as a melee is the worst possible design for me

slow saddle
#

m8

#

its just practice

#

like its a NON issue

floral tide
#

It's a cool gimmick used sparringly

odd ledge

its not practice

slow saddle

once u play a bit

its not even hard to do

its annoying

i mean

its only annoying

#

if u are bad

and need to move 😄

lol

"its only annoying if u are bad"

is such a dumb way

slow saddle

i mean it is a fact

u stand still plenty of times

floral tide

It's a gameplay preference

odd ledge
#

it is annoying by design

slow saddle
#

2 seconds

like upside = big burst

downside = u can get gibbed

Hi guys so i mainly pvp but really got intrested in pve, going arms dps since its my most comftorable spec. Got any gearing tips for me? I crafted a 259ilvl 2h sword as imurlock showed me.

slow saddle
#

Its a way of making it feel more impactfull for certain

minor gust
#

You can always leap mid demolish cast if you absolutely need to dodge something

floral tide
minor gust
#

If you leap while still maintaining range it won't break the demolish cast either

slow saddle
#

i mean yes it could just look like Rampage i guess

kind stag
#

Demolish is non issue

#

Ravager, rend and CDs not aligning is issue on colo

#

Its jank

On the last boss of Skyreach, is it possible to Heroic Leap back onto the platform when the add tosses me off?

and heroic leap was notorious for heroic no path available back then so 🤷‍♂️

i know DH can backflip

golden ibex
#

Fello arms enjoyers, reading the development notes, does it seem like Blizzard is making Arms slayer single target non excistent? Like we can no long reap the storm on single target at all?

storm vault
#

They’re reverting that stuff @golden ibex

#

Nothing official yet but hopefully it stays

golden ibex
#

How do you know they are reverting that?

storm vault
#

Check the updates midnight section of this discord

#

Post from 4/10

stray vault
#

with slam causing deep wounds our ST should go up a bit too

thick kelp
#

its confirmed here

golden ibex
#

is it not mortal wound and not deep wound? but as i read this : WARRIOR
Arms
Mortal Wounds now triggers from Mortal Strike and Slam (was Mortal Strike and Cleave).
Colossus
Practiced Strikes now increases Mortal Strike and Slam damage by 15% and Cleave and Whirlwind damage by 15%.
Slayer
Reap the Storm now triggers when Whirlwind or Cleave hits 3 or more targets. Chance to trigger changed to 15% (was 20%).
Imminent Demise no longer causes Sudden Death to trigger Reap the Storm.
Unrelenting Onslaught now also increases damage dealt by Bladestorm by 20%.

#

It seems like they are trying to kill slayer arms?

stray vault
#

do not quote me but I think our ST will go up and our aoe down

#

as slayer

radiant sonnet
#

Blizard doing blizard stuff keep nerfing it

golden ibex
#

But losing reap the storm in single in single target seems wild though?

solemn fractal
#

That's gone

sand totem
#

Lads... the reap change was reverted. It still procs from sudden death as it does right now.

stray vault
#

from 12 hours ago

golden ibex
#

Oh thank god

#

I dont know why they would change that

#

Even though its not that high in dps, Slayer arms just plays really well

storm vault
#

I really like Slayer right now I hope I don’t have to force switch to Colossus. Idk I played some Col in TWW for a bit I sort of enjoyed it but it doesn’t sound appealing to me rn. Do you guys think Colossus is fun?

astral yarrow
#

col bangs

#

just dont hit a single target

#

then it doesnt

kind stag
#

i find colo unfun personally

radiant sonnet
kind stag
#

slayer is really cool

#

colo i just dislike its jank, how 4 cds work and everything

#

its so strict, arms just needs a rework

storm vault
#

The full opener on Arms AOE is just so satisfying to me. Dumping 4 Cleaves and sudden deaths with a shit ton of reaps feels so cool

kind stag
#

3 cleaves soon

storm vault
#

WHAT

#

I didn’t see that 😭

kind stag
#

if i remember the crushing combo still stays 2 free cleaves

#

as opposed to current 3

And there will be lots of MW applications through FOB

hasty pumice
#

Arms col has the most broken aoe damage in m+

storm vault
#

I’m talking about Slayer haven’t tried Col this season

hasty pumice
#

Colossus is absolutely mind blowing in M+

dim basalt
#

Slayer is still above average Id say

hasty pumice
#

Slayer is still a really strong spec

kind stag
hasty pumice
#

Good ST, great aoe, constant damage output

hasty pumice
kind stag
#

like warrior has to sacrifice something all the time, meanwhile devourer or locks just blast regardless

kind stag
hasty pumice
#

And depending on the boss isn't that bad

dim basalt
#

locks have different issues though

#

devourer is nasty yes

astral yarrow
hasty pumice
#

With arms col I usually hit 60k+ on ST with shammy

hasty pumice
#

2 extra targets gets you a shit ton of advantages

kind stag
#

i dont disagree

#

but fact is that colo ST is poverty

dim basalt
#

Its not that bad

#

lmao

#

I do like 75k-80k ST as col

hasty pumice
#

Having cleave and slam combine into one while also extending smash timer, getting more demolish procs (especially with the 2 to 5 seconds buff coming) and sweeps mortal strike gathering even more demolish stacks

#

Pretty dope

dim basalt
#

Which will be buffed by 7% in .5

hasty pumice
dim basalt
#

ye

astral yarrow
#

hard doubt you are doing that ST as colossus

dim basalt
#

Maybe I just had a lucky pull

hasty pumice
#

First time I'm seeing that lol

kind stag
#

i dont even sim that high

hasty pumice
#

Comparing to biz ST that's way way higher haha

#

Sure you didn't play slayer? keks

paper condor
#

80k maybe with aug

kind stag
#

slayer does well ST yeah, its why i prefer it

hasty pumice
#

NGL if I have aug in party mostly I go slayer

#

Cause I often play with feral druid who also doesn't pump bosses

kind stag
#

i understand augs now that ive had a Pit of saron run with my arms slayer and an aug

#

holy shit

#

like not normal

#

how is that spec allowed

hasty pumice
#

Ye aug cranks up your DPS by a ton

thorn tartan
#

COL or Slayer for AA?

hasty pumice
#

I saw zero cool having a run with shammy aug and monk

#

And arms

kind stag
hasty pumice
#

The arms in pit 20 had 276k overall

dim basalt
#

I do ~65k on dummy

hasty pumice
dim basalt
#

Tahts with rage issues and no other buffs

kind stag
#

AA is generally better for slayer

thorn tartan
#

when would you go COL?

hasty pumice
#

In the highest keys you kinda always go arms because your AOE is just that nutty

hasty pumice
#

Even in skyreach for example people swap to col despite having 0 boss funnel possible

#

For all bosses

kind stag
hasty pumice
#

Tanks highly upgrade colossus, too

dim basalt
#

NPX is more of a Slayer key imo

kind stag
#

generally slayer is safer choice imo

hasty pumice
#

Slayer is deffo more pug friendly

kind stag
#

colo you entirely depend on your tank if you are busted level or poverty level

thorn tartan
#

i see

hasty pumice
thorn tartan
#

so you only go COL if UBER tank pulls

kind stag
hasty pumice
kind stag
hasty pumice
#

At +18/+19 shit lives long enough for col to outscale in aoe

#

Idk which keys you're playing so there's context missing

#

Didn't mean to throw shade Mon ami

thick kelp
#

Dont need uber pulls

#

you need 3 or more lol

grim anchor
#

DK tank and arms warrior best combo

thick kelp
#

even 2 its close

thorn tartan
#

the st is so ass though 🙁

grim anchor
thick kelp
#

pull a pack on boss or flame your tank

astral yarrow
#

how about both

dim basalt
#

On 16s tanks still refuse to pull packs to bosses

kind stag
#

ngl on some keys tanks gotta kite alot

dim basalt
#

Who cares about a 30% faster kill time anyway

grim anchor
kind stag
#

and some tanks are apparently pretty tough this season on some keys

#

unless brew i guess

dim basalt
#

Thats just skill issue

#

Until bleeding edge

astral yarrow
#

theres just citizen tanks and second rate citizen tanks

dim basalt
#

Ive seen some giga chad bdks

kind stag
#

bear druids and veng dhs kinda brick my keys now and then

astral yarrow
#

pwar/guardian/brew are the good tanks, bdk is passable and the rest kinda blow

kind stag
#

prot warriors carry me usually, blood dks kinda okay

dim basalt
#

I dont trust any ppals

astral yarrow
#

best +10 tank is paladin though

#

love those guys

kind stag
#

protwar on pit of saron is probably vacation mode

#

i didnt see those guys drop hp in that dungeon

#

im not sure whats up with bears, they seem to drop so fast at one point

#

maybe i just didnt encounter good ones yet?

soft dew
# dim basalt I dont trust any ppals

Me neither, then I get one that is so good he does more dps than certain dps in the key and I have to try again and get the one who pulls half the room and dies, then blames the dps.

astral yarrow
#

you just coast till incarn and then watch them carry your 4 pack pull

kind stag
#

isnt with protpalas the thing that they need to select some talent or hero talent to actually survive but they are stubborn in wanting more dmg?

#

so ive heard

feral breach
#

Healers just heal more warriorbrain

kind stag
#

priests and hpalas cant heal me man

#

insta bricked key

ionic mica
#

problem with bear is they might proc a "walk backwards away from a pack while taunting" instead of going in

#

never seen this shit on any other spec

#

as well as having zero threat outside of when they are outdpsing you xD

kind stag
#

tank dhs got i think bit weakness to magic dmg no? i feel like packs with only melees they survive but spellcasters just burn them

#

while blood dks kinda opposite

jovial hare
dim basalt
#

The bdks I ran with were able to deal with anything

kind stag
dim basalt
#

Given that Ive only played +16s with them tho

floral tide
#

I don't like how spammy prot warrior is.

kind stag
#

well that high im sure everyone is good

dim basalt
#

not at all

#

People are dogshit in 16s

jovial hare
kind stag
#

i didnt do that high yet because im shit at the game but still

dim basalt
#

You see ele shamans only doing 120 to 130k dps overall, most dps actually

kind stag
dim basalt
#

And its not rare you see people in a +16 not knowing boss mechanics well

soft dew
#

Yeah a lot of people are getting carried to 16's

jovial hare
kind stag
jovial hare
#

he barely was able to eek out a 10 last season per week

feral breach
#

Can ignore/survive alot of stuff below 16

jovial hare
#

just send it brother

I believe

# dim basalt Seat for me

actually yeah you are right, seat is so easy yet people with 300 rating more than me are bricking it

jovial hare
#

idk I don't feel like skyreach is that difficult even if you don't know mechs
like
all of the fights are pretty intuitive

kind stag
dim basalt
#

I get invited pretty quickly atp

soft dew
kind stag
jovial hare
#

that's dhs being dhs tbh

kind stag
jovial hare
#

don't trust them

#

like never trust ret paladins, BM hunters, or DHs to do mechanics

#

other warriors either tbh

feral breach
#

Big fucking lazer following me, letz dash trough my whole team several times

jovial hare
#

we're kinda pepega sometimes

kind stag
#

cant believe i still love ret paladins, that class is represented by such meatheads it makes warriors look smart

jovial hare
#

i mean
we don't attract the brainiacs of wow either

feral breach
#

They still eat glue while we already swapped to crayons

kind stag
#

i think ret got giga damaged by the "easiest melee to play" rep

#

so all the gluehuffers are on it

jovial hare
#

if i had a dollar for every time ive seen a warrior rip threat 5+ times at the start of a pull in a single key
I wouldn't need to work
like brother man
chill
let the tank get threat before u unga

#

that or bring a pocket rogue with permanent tricks
that's what I do keks

kind stag
#

hunters are no different

invited a hunter JUST for lust yday, they were the ONLY lust class
we say lust on first pack

no lust, we wipe, i ask hunter whats up and hes like "oh im lusting?"

jovial hare
#

I swear most MM hunters dont know they have harrier's cry

feral breach
#

I do sometimes aswell, attacking the singular target he already have threat, and rip threat on others due to improved ww on fury still on sadge

kind stag
#

im not gonna lie

#

i died on paladins this week

feral breach
kind stag
#

because i charged first instead of tanks

#

my excuse is that i have no ego i know im mid af at this game

feral breach
#

Tbf they could have opened with taunt

kind stag
#

im used to like

#

people already pressing skills at 1s

#

its what most do in FFXIV

feral breach
#

Happens alot on mop for me, tanks just not wanting to taunt raidbosses on pull

#

What you gonna use it on?

kind stag
#

saving it for wod

tepid citrus
crystal forge
karmic matrix
#

Anyone else noticing that both MaxDPS and suggested ability recommends Sweeping Strikes casts when the buff is already active? Does anyone have any idea why that happens? Is there some talent or interaction with Broad Strokes /Powerful Momentum that I'm not getting or are the suggested ability/rotation helpers not able to read active buffs?

floral tide
#

We should also have a brez shout.

#

"get the fuck up"

quiet bramble
#

Does warrior have a place in wow? Lorewise i mean deadge

broken minnow
#

Are we doomed in 12.0.5?

ionic mica
#

no

#

antidoomed

broken minnow
#

We are getting nerf right?

ionic mica
#

no

broken minnow
#

No?

ionic mica
#

more demolish, more bs damage, more ST from deep wounds on slam

kind stag
#

its just that current day and age forgot about them and its more about magic types

#

Varian, Garrosh, Saurfang

ionic mica
#

is thrall still a warrior or did he remember how to lightning again

kind stag
#

i forgor

hoary fossil
#

why be a normie warrior when you can be a warrior with magic

kind stag
#

because warriors do use magic kinda

#

its not lijke Avatar comes from nothing

#

its just that warriors are not spellcasters, just magic to enhance our physical stuff

feral breach
#

Avatar form is just bulking and the lightnings is just the airfriction we generate

short spear
#

during legion we were empowered by a god

hoary fossil
#

avatar is just shooting up tren + TRT and then snorting some pre-workout

kind stag
#

speak for yourselves

#

all natural here

#

dont need to alchemy to be stronk....

tepid citrus
kind stag
#

warriors need lust that ogcd

alpine inlet
#

avatar should be racegated for dwarf only

hoary fossil
#

thematically warriors not having lust is wild

kind stag
#

make it a "War Banner" or something idk

#

steal ideas from guild wars 2 warrior they got sick warriors

ionic mica
#

we had neccrolord banner for a bit

#

but they killed it before it truly lived

slow saddle
kind stag
#

imagine if warriors had something not taken away

#

or nerfed

feral breach
ionic mica
kind stag
#

hunters got mark and lust

#

why cant we

#

one plate class having lust would be neat

slow saddle
#

Just warrior things

ionic mica
#

a warrior with a banner that buffed their friends/themselves that they maintain with rage? nonono that sounds too on point

#

i rolled off warrior at that point and only came back in midnight xD

kind stag
#

warriors being berserkers or juggernauts with insane hits? give them bleeds

ionic mica
#

its okay we can demolish now

#

3 big booms

kind stag
#

im okay with that just remove rend

ionic mica
#

true just make rend a bleed applied by overpower/dreadnaught or cleave idk

#

or remove it

kind stag
#

yeah bake it in

#

its top 2 worst abilities

slow saddle
#

Nah

kind stag
#

that and ravager 2 dog buttons to press

slow saddle
#

Make it do somethi

#

Rend up 10% bigger chance of ms reset

ionic mica
#

id rather ravager just got halved and baked into avatar with a talent or something

thick kelp
#

rend makes target take 10% more crit dam from us

#

oh wait

kind stag
#

yeah make it not bleed but instead do a cool aoe blood splatter visual effect and just deals nice damager or something

ionic mica
#

ava makes cleave do 20% more dam on top

kind stag
#

rend just feels like ass to press

#

its just a checkbox

ionic mica
#

the only time i like rend is when i need things to press whilst gathering that wont get me aggro

slow saddle
#

I rly disagree. Its somethin 2 push while pulli

ionic mica
#

unless your brew has thrown a keg

#

then fuck it send the MS

slow saddle
#

And b4 next rend i need 2 press it

ionic mica
#

i just do it on pull and then after CS ends

slow saddle
#

Ofc but we are just gettin demo stacks rsy b4 we ham

slow saddle
#

As col almost at least🤣

ionic mica
#

hey there is a tiny gap between cs 1 and 2 xD

slow saddle
#

Ye

#

Buff arms st

#

Via aa

ionic mica
#

i really need to start actually doing higher keys so the packs live properly in the 2nd cs

slow saddle
#

Ols

ionic mica
#

tanking my damage big time

slow saddle
#

Did a 17

#

Failed

#

I should say

#

But felt nice cd wse

ionic mica
#

i just try to run with ele for skyfury/they suck outside of ascendance so things live long enough to cs a second time

slow saddle
#

Resto sham

ionic mica
#

but tbh in 14/15 everyone does low enough dam for that

#

if i make my healer friend play rsham they will cry

slow saddle
#

I mean skyfury BANNER whe

kind stag
#

skyfury perma baked in when

slow saddle
#

Should 100% be arms buff

ionic mica
#

ideally id find a rare enhance

#

the goats

slow saddle
#

They suck tough

#

Dies

ionic mica
#

yeah thats why i rolled back to warr xD

kind stag
#

isnt enha still fucked to play

ionic mica
#

ruined my spec

kind stag
#

like top 3 hardest dps specs

ionic mica
#

its fine

#

just if you dont like the new elemental tempo cdr on all your spells it sucks

olive nest
#

Isn’t cool that the patch notes usually have every class except warrior

ionic mica
#

big 1min burst then sleep

olive nest
kind stag
ionic mica
#

in ST at least

kind stag
#

colo arms is defo real hard slayer is not bad at all

ionic mica
#

enhance is far easier than it has been for a long time, and it was always just practice to not find it hard

#

people are just scared of having more than 5 binds idk why

kind stag
#

honestly arms defo needs more pruning

#

games tempo is real fast, you dont need to manage 4cds to make it "hard"

#

its no wonder all the easier specs are more popular you make less mistakes

ionic mica
#

outside of rend and ravager i like what arms has going on

#

dont feel like it needs much pruned

kind stag
#

yeah those 2 can go fuck themselves

ionic mica
#

wouldnt mind sweeping being permanent/off gcd

kind stag
#

for sure

#

and cleave baseline

#

not a talent

ionic mica
#

true wtf is whirlwind

kind stag
#

not a skill

tepid citrus
# tropic moon war aug ?

They should scrap AUG and just make all tanks similar to AUGS to make them more enjoyable. High CC, Threat Management, and Buffs.

quiet bramble
#

so much lore stuff related to paladin sadge

kind stag
#

paladins and shamans are giga iconic in warcraft

soft gust
#

Made a spreadsheet to show roughly the dps changes for M+ for 12.0.5. Sims were run with bis gear and optimal raid buffs.

#

Deep wounds change has reduced mass aoe, but both specs are getting some single target

#

slayer got the short straw

silk lake
#

so were saccing aoe for better st now

soft gust
#

These are run with the same talent builds as live

astral yarrow
#

there might be apl changes come 12.0.5 though

soft gust
#

Im aware

#

These are with the most recent ptr apl

#

There are changes

toxic surge
#

hey with the changes to reap-the-storm reverted basically you won't need to spin WW to proc it right?

#

the mechanic stays the same as live?

ionic citrus
#

Can someone explain the 12.0.5 change to Imminent Demise to me?

hybrid needle
#

Why not working anymore monkahmm

kind stag
hard dragon
#

Yeah rav got changed

void parcel
hybrid needle
#

Oh god, thats kinda beautiful. Mustve missed that change, thank you

ionic citrus
slow saddle
#

They removed it from bt

#

And ms

#

But kept procc feels

vapid spire
#

We're like 5% of parse and we outperforming meta slaves

#

We're lacking stuff but other classes have so much parses they're getting pulled down by bozos

silk lake
#

So we're good, but no one wants to play it?

#

The aesthetic is there.

#

Big bonk.

olive nest
#

So many things go into what the meta becomes

dim basalt
#

phys comp is very capable of doing crazy stuff

#

brew rsham feral arms +1

olive nest
#

Arms could do omega dps (like now) but not necessarily synergize with the other meta specs at the time

clever crag
#

So the nerf is one less free cleave for colo ?

olive nest
#

Yes

clever crag
#

Or they added stuff

olive nest
#

They also made it so you get a ton of cdr on demolish

#

From MS

sharp tide
clever crag
#

Yeah and range

#

Which is good

#

Spamming cleave is fun tho

dim basalt
#

assa, hunter, aug

olive nest
#

Is aug any good for arms? I recall cone saying not really but idk enough about aug honestly

vapid pine
#

DK gotta be goated in that slot surely?

dim basalt
#

aug is always good

#

ye dk fits too tbh

vapid pine
#

Grips to cover the lack of range kicks, lack of range in general :^)

olive nest
#

A BM hunter or outlaw rogue is probably the best two options for the last slot

dim basalt
#
  • amz
olive nest
#

Talking purely physical comp synergy

dim basalt
#

Id still take sub over outlaw

dim basalt
#

also assa over outlaw

olive nest
#

Sub is magical though

dim basalt
#

Sub is 70% phys iirc

slow saddle
#

Its blizzard trying to fix gameplay

dim basalt
#

Unless it changed

slow saddle
#

And giving us st

#

And classic lizzard nerfs somethin by mistake

dim basalt
#

Assa and sub are both just better than outlaw even if outlaw does more phys damage

slow saddle
#

Meanwhile we still lack rage

#

Vengeance tank meta when?

hard dragon
slow saddle
#

I mean

dim basalt
#

What does ret do better?

olive nest
#

BRM/Rsham/war/feral/mm
probably the best physical comp right now

slow saddle
#

We funnel better

dim basalt
#

They have freedom sure

#

But thats it

slow saddle
#

Pure st

olive nest
#

All melee makes some things harder

slow saddle
#

And if lookin at numbers in 12.05 better mass aoe

dim basalt
#

ret will never do more aoe than us

hard dragon
#

And SAC

#

They have way more utility whilst doing comparable DPS, and better ST

#

And Devo aura

ionic mica
#

the ST burst on ret is pretty nuts if they get any procs as well

hard dragon
#

And have range

ionic mica
#

for the bunch of amp bosses this season

dim basalt
#

The utility part is just not true anymore

ionic mica
#

reliable ranged ST pretty nice on a melee

olive topaz
#

It’s just some extra slams/heroic strikes

slow saddle
#

Wow

slow saddle
olive topaz
#

Where as execution sentence converts aoe damage into ST

dim basalt
slow saddle
#

Col st when u can funnel

#

Is top tier

olive nest
#

Arms is probably the best funnel in the game

hard dragon
#

Ret can pull 100k dps ST

olive nest
#

You do double dps to the prio target when you’re hitting two others around it

slow saddle
#

And 12.05 makes it stronger

#

Funnel better

dim basalt
#

Col can funnel 100k ST dps consistently

olive topaz
echo crane
#

Does anyone have an idea of a decent overall in a 10/11 m+ key?
I was doing about 110k slayer arms at 270 ilvl
I feel like ive done way better in higher fury keys…

hard dragon
#

Watching a guy on youtube pull 100k dps on Ember in WRS rn

ionic mica
hard dragon
#

And this was almost 2 weeks ago

ionic mica
#

its good, but it isnt the same as ours

hard dragon
#

So he for sure could have more ilvl by now

rancid robin
#

Deplete a maisara +19, i was at 260k overall on last pack before boss (with evoke ofc) i'm so freaking sad 😭

dim basalt
olive nest
#

Ours is un matched

thick kelp
#

is 100k St in the room with us?

olive nest
#

Lmao

thick kelp
#

From skyreach first boss

ionic mica
#

rets actual ST is cracked though regardless of the funnel stuff

echo crane
#

Does arms come online with higher keys?

olive nest
#

That boss has no funnel smh

rancid robin
slow saddle
hard dragon
#

Yes

#

It is

thick kelp
#

Aug

#

XD

#

XD

#

XD

olive nest
#

No Aug

thick kelp
#

Cheers man fake stat

dim basalt
#

Aug easily adds 20k there

olive nest
#

xdd

ionic mica
hard dragon
#

Oh whoops

astral yarrow
#

hate aug

echo crane
#

Thanks @rancid robin I won’t give up yet then

olive nest
#

Bro I do 1.5m dps peak

#

No Aug

slow saddle
#

In st!

olive nest
#

On first boss skyreach yeah

#

Me when I lie

slow saddle
#

Peak! Just very short

hard dragon
#

I said Ember

slow saddle
#

I saw biz do 96k

#

Sr

#

St& on forge dude

#

With cleave

dim basalt
#

Nonetheless, I dont think ret is much better than arms when the top players of both specs are pretty even in rio

slow saddle
#

96k on mt

thick kelp
#

Farveor did 115k ST on forgeboss cuz of funnel

olive nest
#

That’s because he probably had the infinite funnel tech

slow saddle
#

This my point

dim basalt
#

farover, our goat 2

slow saddle
#

Yeye ofc

olive nest
#

From the 0hp mobs that don’t die

slow saddle
#

All im saying is, col requires more work

#

But are at least on par with ret

olive nest
#

That is true ret just does the dps

slow saddle
#

Ofc ranfom pug key

olive nest
#

We require tank assistance

slow saddle
#

Ret prob easier 2shine

#

Tbh until 12 05 slayer is ret esque in keys

hard dragon
#

Here's ret pulling 95k no aug 2 weeks ago

ionic mica
dim basalt
#

^

ionic mica
#

rets ST is good its okay you dont need to find a screenshot

slow saddle
#

Yeah ret has a lot better st

#

Than arms

#

No doubt

#

I mean it should as well sims a lot higher

#

And if u as col esp, dont use all the tec 2 do dmg. U should prob just ret

vapid pine
#

The entire argument was Ret funnel vs Arms funnel too lmao

slow saddle
#

Ikr

#

And funnel is arms

#

Its not close

olive nest
#

I will not just “might as well go ret” thank you very much xdd

hard dragon
#

There, non-amp boss, 100k dps by yoda

slow saddle
#

Mid cds

olive topaz
#

There’s still half the boss HP to go though

slow saddle
#

And lust what is this

hard dragon
#

W/e you win ig

olive nest
hard dragon
#

We move the goal post more

slow saddle
#

No1 is disagreein ret has better st

ionic mica
#

the goalpost was always 100k ST

hard dragon
#

Yeah

#

I just posted it
