are they not included in logs

minor gust
#

Cuz not much point in hitting adds

inner wasp
#

to pad

#

thats the point!

minor gust
#

They don't live long enough ain't even worth getting off boss

#

Ranged will just go hahaha hehahhe I blast

inner wasp
#

raid lead makes me get off boss until exe phase

#

:(

#

im allowed to stick in exe

minor gust
#

Gg

#

Mine lets me sit boss whole time and vibe

#

Such a chill fight when you don't do adds

vapid spire
#

"Go in the corner until exe phase"

#

or, "You're not allowed inside until exe phase"

fossil thistle
#

So I haven’t done much looking cause I’m tired af.
New tuning on Tuesday is an aoe loss but gain for ST by the looks of it?

latent moss
#

st gain and basically aoe neutral

#

aoe loss in a vacuum but in actual content either neutral or a gain

minor gust
#

slayer def an aoe loss

#

but minor

#

losing reap proc on MS sucks

sand totem
#

Hey lads.
Can we use a dummy, like rubbery fish head, to stack up procs before a pull or does that not work?

inner wasp
#

they reset

#

also u cant use them

#

in instances

#

at least, not in raid

hybrid needle
#

U can sweepingstrike as soon as the timer starts and get some ms in before tank stops moving

sand totem
#

Oh thought it just said "outside" so figured anywhere in raid we could mount i could use it.

Woulda loved to go into a fight with 5 stacks of our apex buff

minor gust
#

colo you cant really cuz the stacks dont really last long enough

#

for most pulls

sand totem
#

I was thinking in a raid environment. Trynna eek out any deeps I can lmao

minor gust
#

oh in raid no

meager ginkgo
minor gust
#

you cant do any pre raid pull stuff

#

pretty much everything resets on pull

how are we feeling about the changes coming up?

hybrid needle
#

P good

boreal remnant
minor gust
safe island
#

new ptr update

#

is it buff?

minor gust
#

none of it is new

#

its just every change over the course of ptr consolidated

safe island
#

Mortal Wounds now triggers from Mortal Strike and Slam (was Mortal Strike and Cleave).
Crushing Combo removes the cooldown from your next 2 uses of Cleave (was 3).

minor gust
#

ST buffs for both specs minor aoe nerfs

#

both those changes weve known for weeks

keen siren
#

Will slayer still be good in mplus with the changes

#

Will slayer still be big dam

minor gust
#

slayer will still be a good spec yes

#

colo will probably take over, but slayer will still do very well compared to other classes and specs

pale mantle
#

And do will Still prio mortal strike on Aoe on top off overpower with slayer

#

Now that mortal strike doesnt proc reap

minor gust
#

no in aoe for slayer it will be Cleave > SD > OP > MS/rend

slow saddle
#

Y mainly coz col gets a lpt of st back, so gap is closer

minor gust
#

MS falls behind now

slow saddle
#

Y

pale mantle
#

I see but colossus same shit

tepid hull
#

Well you don't really press MS that much compared to cleave anyway with Slayer Arms

#

When you are cleaving like

#

More than 4+ targets

slow saddle
#

+3

minor gust
#

no colo prios Cleave > MS > OP

#

MS is high prio for CM stacks

minor gust
#

on live

keen siren
#

Wait so ms will no longer trigger reap only cleave?

tepid hull
minor gust
keen siren
#

Isn’t that a st nerf then

#

And aoe nerf

#

Just an overall dmg nerf

minor gust
#

no

pale mantle
minor gust
#

all the other changes makes it all together a net ST buff

keen siren
#

Oh ok

minor gust
#

its not much tho

keen siren
#

But what every1 gonna play collos? No one will play slayer next week?

minor gust
#

colo is the only that got a heavier ST buff

keen siren
#

In mplus

minor gust
#

people will still play slayer if they want to play slayer

#

its not gonna be bad

pale mantle
minor gust
keen siren
#

I never know when to use demo like do I wait for the stacks or just send it on cd?

#

That’s why I like slayer more

#

Idk when to use demo

pale mantle
#

Colossus funnel will be even better now

#

Holy fuck

minor gust
#

yes it will be better

#

in aoe demo is a 15 sec cd

#

so you will be getting 2 demos off in 1 CS cast

#

it will feel good

pale mantle
#

Will depend on your haste level

#

I presume

#

And crit rng

keen siren
#

How 15 sec cd no way

minor gust
minor gust
pale mantle
#

And bosses with adds colussus will clap ass

#

Now

#

Shitttt

keen siren
#

Slayer just has a nice flow to it

minor gust
#

yeah I personally like it a lot more

pale mantle
minor gust
#

ill still be playing it a lot in 12.05

keen siren
#

I’m not a fan of it u have to stand still an channel

#

I don’t like it

pale mantle
#

You would love devourer

keen siren
#

What does practiced strikes do now?

#

It says in next patch it increases dmg of ur ms and cleave

#

So ww will apply rend now for fury

#

I wish cleave would apply rend

balmy kindle
#

So hyped for patch can't wait to spam demolish

rain fiber
#

Guild is turbo fucking V&E adds and I only get to green parse if anything

Can I play that fight as Slayer if I'm not getting that much value as Collosus, or is Collo 2t cleave much better than Slayer's 2t cleave?

terse plume
#

its a toss up

lucid niche
#

When does colossus take over?

#

16s?

terse plume
#

I mean colossus is almost always better then slayer in m+

#

past like 10s

rose ibex
minor gust
minor gust
rain fiber
#

Damn, I need to practice more then

#

Idk what edges out the damage

minor gust
#

if you arent able to get a demo and a cleave or two off on every add set you can just focus the boss nbd

safe island
#

it doesn’t really feel like colo arms single target got any real buffs or anything. what exactly got better about it?

minor gust
#

Colo is getting a like 7% ST buff thanks to slam DW and demo cdr

safe island
#

but doesn’t that mean aoe got weaker by that much?

minor gust
#

no

safe island
#

cleave got nerfed

minor gust
#

Demo cdr got buffed over 100%

#

that is fucking massive

safe island
#

i see

minor gust
#

demo is a 15 sec cd in aoe

#

you are getting 2 off in 1 cs cast

#

colo is big chillin

#

the aoe nerf is pretty much nothing

slow saddle
#

So changes good m+

#

Now arms just needs st buff 2 do ret like st

safe island
#

but from what i know, demolish was always lined up with cs, so if demol’s cooldown is reduced and comes back faster now, what do i do?

minor gust
#

you press it on cooldown obviously

#

ST CS and demo will always line up now

inner wasp
#

can someone peek at my logs and tell me why i parsed so low 🥺

#

first day actually playing arms in raid

#

instead of just larping as arms

safe island
#

didn’t slayer arms get nerfed but also gain something else, so its single target might actually be a bit stronger?

#

Unrelenting Onslaught now increases damage dealt by Bladestorm by 20%.

#

Reap the Storm has been updated – When Rampage hits 3 or more targets via Improved Whirlwind you have a 20% chance to unleash a flurry of steel, striking all nearby enemies for high Physical damage and applying Overwhelmed.

#

didn’t aoe get nerfed but also gain something new, so doesn’t it kind of even out?

wind hatch
#

losing MS reap but gaining slam dw and bladestorm dmg

#

cleave is losing dw

#

but it's a net buff overall

minor gust
#

Slayer is losing aoe and gaining ST

#

same as colo just a lil more aoe loss than colo

safe island
#

time to start practicing colo arms again

minor gust
#

Slayer is still really good

#

so feel free to play both

safe island
#

slayer arms just feels cleaner to play for me

cerulean kernel
#

Are there sims for the new st buff of arms?

minor gust
#

yes

cerulean kernel
#

Do you know where I can find them?

safe island
#

does slayer fury have a chance too?

cerulean kernel
#

not against arms

minor gust
#

there isnt like some sim spreadsheet kept up

#

but people have done em

#

keep scrolling up till you find something im sure its been posted few times

safe island
#

i really wish rend would automatically apply in single target too, honestly

hybrid needle
#

Rav/bs should rend/dw by default too

mossy cove
#

At that point the ability may as well not even exist

safe island
#

i wish they’d at least increase rend’s duration or do something with it

#

the best thing would be for rend to just get deleted

smoky kayak
mossy cove
#

There’s already so little to track.. I think we can manage rend uptime

smoky kayak
#

you can sim your own stuff now

safe island
#

don’t arms warriors have a lot of buffs to track?

minor gust
cerulean kernel
#

are these the ones you meant?

minor gust
#

some aoe comparisons yeah

minor gust
#

Live for ST

#

If I did that right

graceful light
#

anyone here crafted the single stat bracers or boots?

#

worth or nah? the high crit sims high ofc but yall think im better off just using crit/haste crafted gear?

fair topaz
#

If you go for the nexus point ring set you already have a generous amount of haste, so it might be a good move. I would sim to be sure.

graceful light
#

yea ive got that maxed out myth track, and guidon from raid too. I have tons of haste

#

prob why the straight crit ones are outsimming

smoky kayak
graceful light
#

for sure. Nah i have crafted wep and arcanoweave on bracers

median urchin
#

Hello new at warrior arms, m+ player. What hero talents should i use in keys? Colosus or slayer?

minor gust
#

both are good. try both and see what you like more

neon shale
#

How much crit are u big boys rocking

#

crit/hste

sand totem
#

1100 crit, 1000 haste.
Is it optimal? No fucking idea.

vale gorge
#

So next patch is a nerf for Colossus ?

minor gust
#

no

fair tinsel
#

Next patch is gonna make colo blast in m+

inland drift
#

Demolish spam

still fox
#

can we already sim 12.0.5?

slow saddle
vale gorge
#

But we lost 5% on cleaves and the dot on cleaves right ?

minor gust
#

doesnt matter demo buff makes up for it

stable fiber
#

its like a net neutral on aoe, then a gain on st for colo

hexed parrot
#

Does somebody know that we can Upgrade craftet weapons aswell to 298 next week with the voidforge or do we need a 289 Weapon?

stable fiber
#

afaik

#

its 294 or 295

#

289 weps go to 298

slow saddle
#

they just let crafted be max lvl once "turbo" season happened

#

at least weap

smoky kayak
#

I'll make an updates post about it next week, but it doesn't really matter cause you're not gonna unlock those upgrades for a few more weeks anyway

stable fiber
#

intelligent and more knowledgeable person ^

sand totem
#

Hey lads.
The colossus talent "practiced strikes" now increases MS/cleave daamge by 15%. This is down from 20% yeah?

hexed parrot
stable fiber
#

wait @smoky kayak this guys question make me realize something, practiced strikes now affects whirlwind as colossus?

#

a spec thats centered heavily around forcing you to spec into cleave??

#

??

#

am i crazy

#

isnt that just shit design

stable fiber
#

always thought it was weird one against many affected whirlwind

#

when colossal might and practiced strikes FORCED you to play cleave instead of WW

#

what a worthless ass change

sick stratus
#

so mortal strike no longer procs rts or am I missing something?

sick stratus
#

holy fuck that's ass

stable fiber
#

Instead cleave does when you hit 3 or more

#

SD still procs it so w/e

#

They where gonna make reap fully useless in st but reverted a bit of it

tacit crystal
#

its a bit worse but better than nothing

stable fiber
#

These changes do not excite me in the future looking at them now though

tacit crystal
#

do you rav before ava cs

#

or do you do opposite

stable fiber
smoky kayak
tacit crystal
#

i was trying to cook by doing it after when at 10 cm

#

but i think its just bad

#

not even bc of losing a gcd in cs or ava

#

but just not pressing it early and having it for next pack

#

and maybe losing a use

smoky kayak
tacit crystal
#

its being cs?

stable fiber
#

Yes

tacit crystal
#

at least to me with guidon

#

cs felt like nearly 100% in aoe

#

but yeah i can see it

stable fiber
#

Yeah guidon crazy

tacit crystal
#

since im not playing without it atm

stable fiber
#

Does it add cs to the cs btw

tacit crystal
#

uh

#

i imagine it benefits from it

#

but not multiplies it

stable fiber
#

I mean

#

The duration

#

I assume it might not because of our apex

tacit crystal
#

uh no it just "resets" it

smoky kayak
# tacit crystal cs felt like nearly 100% in aoe

it's more that the GCD you spend on Ravager is mostly empty - its value comes from the following GCDs spent on Cleave
while Colossus Smash maintains itself by fitting more Cleave/MS inside its debuff window... so wasting one on Ravager is counterproductive

stable fiber
#

Sadge

tacit crystal
#

(starts it at initial cs amount)

ashen night
#

sometimes i charge>rend>cs and after the first or second cleave i dont have rage for the last cleaves..do i miss/forget something or should i Pool rage to x before unleashing?

tacit crystal
#

no thats normal

stable fiber
#

Colo or slayer

tacit crystal
#

sometimes you wait a bit

ashen night
#

slayer

tacit crystal
#

esp as slayer

#

since you dont play bloodsurge

stable fiber
#

Rend seems fake as slayer especially on a opener

#

No bloodsurge

daring prairie
#
  • u only get so many cleaves in that ravager window
#

specilally post 12.0.5

brazen lotus
#

hey guys, rotation question: do I CS even if I still have active sweeping strikes going?

tacit crystal
#

yes

tacit crystal
#

but ideally you are ssing immediately when it falls off from cs so you can keep rotating the 2

thick kelp
#

dont SS if CS is gonna be up in like 10s or less

tacit crystal
#

gm walhe

thick kelp

gma 57

tacit crystal
#

no radio today

brazen lotus
#

makes sense, ty

tacit crystal
#

final day of class today

#

i have to present

tacit crystal
#

question

#

how much damage do you think you gain from saving the 4 (3 soon) cleaves from cs until you demo vs using them to build demo

stable fiber
#

Dps loss imo to use cs and not use the cleaves instantly

#

Cause then you get less cleaves

#

Just send the demo

#

Try to build 10 stacks with a pre sweep

smoky kayak
tacit crystal
#

it just feels so bad to try to presweep in a key with a tank i dont know

smoky kayak
#

with the new CDR, it's pretty rare that you don't have 10 stacks though, outside of the first of course

tacit crystal
#

and who gathers in a different way

smoky kayak
#

you can also just go super simple mode and just Demo as soon as CS is up regardless of stacks

stable fiber
#

Gio

smoky kayak
stable fiber
#

Check my opener

tacit crystal
smoky kayak
#

simplicity

daring prairie
#

thats what i do

#

i hate counting to 10 i have to take my shoes off to get that high

tacit crystal
stable fiber
tacit crystal
#

oh wait the hunters instantly evaporated them

stable fiber
#

Does that effect only work at 10

#

I never really read the whole thing

smoky kayak
#

the buff scales with CM stacks, the haste is flat

stable fiber
#

I see

tacit crystal
#

generally i only find myself stalling the cleaves

#

while i have 2 ops

#

because if i am 2 ms's off

#

its not unreasonable i think to get to 10 within 3 globals

#

especially with the demo buff after

smoky kayak
#

at higher target counts, just throwing Demo on CD is a pretty minor difference

#

even at lower target counts, we're talking like a 0.4% difference

#

that said, while you will get more demolish casts using it immediately on cooldown, you get more effective damage by syncing it with CS

tacit crystal
#

just to make sure im reading dominance of the colossus correctly

#

it makes it so you csn have 10 stacks of 5% increased damage

smoky kayak
#

no

tacit crystal
#

so is there a difference with sending at 5/10

smoky kayak
#

Enemies take up to 10% more damage based on the number of stacks
e.g. it's 1% per stack up to 10

daring prairie
#

Your thinking of something else

tacit crystal
daring prairie
#

the one that buffs demo at 5% per stack

minor gust
#

pressing demo on cd goes hard

#

vibe and press the button

daring prairie
#

but yeah just spam demo, i cant wait to fit 3 demos in one cs window

smoky kayak
#

Colossal Might is 5% per stack up to 50%

tacit crystal
#

okok

glacial pebble
#

Why is colossus so bad in st

tacit crystal
#

no rage

smoky kayak
#

cause it doesn't have a lot of ST bonuses

glacial pebble
#

Ah

smoky kayak
#

and tangentially because it does an ass ton of multitarget

sand totem
#

rage starved. I just spent 10 mins wailing on a dummy and i had to charge weave just to keep my rotation going hahaha

tacit crystal
#

thats an understatement

#

i think colo only loses to aug and demo in aoe

minor gust
#

12.1 ptr rage forum post incoming

tacit crystal
#

unless you majorly lose uptime

sand totem
#

is there any way to disable execute phase in the sims?

smoky kayak
#

there are a few ways, changing the apl or adding boss death overrides

#

there's no direct toggle though, no; you'd have to be comfortable adjusting the details yourself

sand totem
#

okay word. No idea how to do that but i'll mess with it. appreciate it

vapid pine
tacit crystal
#

live

vapid pine
#

Makes sense

tacit crystal
#

with next patch you can probably fit 2 demos in 1 cs in lust

vapid pine
#

👀

tacit crystal
#

but then this applies

vapid pine
#

tbf if you get 2 demos in 1 CS you'll have no issue getting demo back up for the next CS right?

#

I guess maybe the question becomes if you send every demo on CD and try to get 1 between each CS, which will depend heavily on pulls and stuff

tacit crystal
#

itd be a delayed for the 2nd cs / 3rd demolish

#

or towards the end of the cs

minor gust
#

demo pretty much has a 15 sec cd in aoe

tacit crystal
#

if even bc of lust

vivid fox
#

How much more st will slayer have in .0.5 roughly? Slightly ahead of fury still?

tacit crystal
minor gust
#

in 12.05 not live

tacit crystal
#

oh

#

that owns

#

then can you get 3? in one

minor gust
#

CS is pretty much 30 sec cd

#

or less

tacit crystal
#

also will crits value go up or down since you get more cm cdr per hit

smoky kayak
#

it's more like 20s on average; you can get it down to 15s, hell I've seen it as low as 12s, but Hero and stacking haste buffs are doing a lot of heavy lifting

tacit crystal
#

on pot i mean

#

like there cant really be a difference in 50/60% crit

smoky kayak
#

then again, I've gotten two Bladestorms in a single CS before too - sometimes you just high roll dracthyr_shrug

minor gust
#

15-20 cone was saying on PTR it was pretty consistently around 15 sec cd

smoky kayak
#

you need to roll some major haste buffs to get it down to 15

tacit crystal
#

guidon

vapid pine
#

Guidon -> Reck pot for haste could be consistent right? *on first pulls

smoky kayak
#

that's one of them, but it's obviously not up for every demolish

#

so again, it's not consistently going to be 15

tacit crystal
#

true

#

but if you guidon the first

smoky kayak
tacit crystal
#

you have it and the haste from the first demolish to carry into the 2nd

#

so then the 3rd can carry a bit from lust and the 2nd demo

minor gust
#

will be fun to play around with in keys either way

smoky kayak
#

again, I'm not disagreeing you can get it down to 15s - it very obviously can

minor gust
#

regardless of the cd

smoky kayak
#

but that's not going to be something you're doing consistently with every demo

tacit crystal
#

yeah i understand

#

man arms owns

smoky kayak
#

the average is closer to 20 maybe 22s, depending on your gear/etc

So with .5 will we got MT or Slayer in m+ maybe the same as now that it depends on dungeon?

plucky fern
minor gust
#

It's definitely not dead

plucky fern
#

on live reap is usually first, maybe close second in damage breadown for key

#

and on your screen its barely 10%

minor gust
#

Good thing that breakdown wasnt from a key then

#

Just 5T dummies

plucky fern
#

yeah it probably will be even lower for a key

minor gust
#

?

plucky fern
#

since bosses also

minor gust
#

It would be higher

plucky fern
#

your breakdown is full aoe 5t
in real key you also add st fights where reap cant proc

#

or am i missing something

minor gust
#

SD procs reap

bleak fog
#

Bigger pulls but as you said there is bosses as well

minor gust
#

You are still doing reap dmg on bosses. Slayer is very likely more than fine in actual keys

plucky fern
#

i mean, isnt slayer straight up nerfed in both aoe and st

#

is it really fine then, it was barely better than colossus and only in some keys, and now its nerfed and colossus buffed

minor gust
#

Slayer ST is buffed in .5

#

With a small aoe nerf

#

Spec still owns

plucky fern
#

does slam deep wounds give that much to offset losing reap on ms?

#

do you have actual sims or is that speculation

minor gust
#

We've had actual sims

#

You can scroll up as I posted them not long ago

Right now it's just speculation

dim basalt
#

Col will still be ass without a sham in group

#

Just fix rage already sadge

plucky fern
#

well rage is fine if you dont press execute

#

kinda

#

its just that hero tree gives zero st

clever crag
#

Colo m+ is pumping

#

Fastest cds in the game

plucky fern
#

found the sims, im surprised colo st is barely improved
thought demolishing twice as often in st would be huge

sharp flame
#

UNLESS with these changes you can

#

warbreaker > demolish > get demolish back BEFORE warbreaker is off CD (sucks)

dim basalt
#

And with funnel it just gets crazier

#

Potentially its also an aoe buff instead of nerf at higher target counts as well

wind flicker
#

I think it will mostly depend if you can fit 2 demolishes per wb

#

If so then might actually be a gain in high target count

dim basalt
#

ye

#

Thats the theory but eh

#

Need crazy haste

#

and some crit luck

wind flicker
#

Haste not perse, it depends on key level and tank pulling

#

If key level is high enough you can bridge a sec or 2

dim basalt
#

Oh I was talking 2 demos per cs window

#

Thats possible in theory as well

minor gust
#

You will get 2 demos inbetween CS CDs everytime

wind flicker
#

U wont get 2 demolishes in 1 wb window i think

wind flicker
dim basalt
#

per sims demo has a cd of roughly 15 seconds

minor gust
#

Was playing around on ptr

dim basalt
#

cs is baseline 10 and with just the free cleaves you get 3 seconds

#

with 4p

wind flicker
#

Yeah but demolish is not an instant cast

#

U wont get it

#

The big dmg comes from ur last hit

dim basalt
#

Will just have to test it

#

With guidon and with haste pot even

wind flicker
#

Haste pot in heavy aoe seems like a loss

minor gust
#

During lust you should be able to

I dont think the extra demolish will be worth not getting crit

wind flicker
#

Especially with first boss trinket

minor gust
#

Yee

wind flicker
#

But still probably rng reliant

minor gust
#

We shall see ST tho with CS and demo alignment still kinda annoying

#

It's pretty RNG still

wind flicker
#

Yep

dim basalt
#

If it works out to be consistent with 2 demos per cs window thatd be massive

#

But chances aint high

minor gust
#

It's a bit more consistent now keeping them aligned but bad rng can still hit you

wind flicker
#

Tanks just need to learn to pull 2 extra mobs on bosses

dim basalt
#

Honestly it feels like tanks dont even know how Arms works

wind flicker
minor gust
#

Yeah

wind flicker
#

Higher keylevels they are more adaptable atleast

minor gust
#

No crits no tac procs no BLord procs

#

You still really feel it in ST

Gotta love the 3ple slam

Lemme dm u the clip holdon

#

Got slayer a lil more aoe by switching to OPP now that slayer prios cleave > op > ms

Im actually curious to see how slayer feels with the change

thorn stream
#

So no blord for your slayer build anymore ?

#

How important are Heroic Strikes procs? where do they land on priority in AoE/ST

steep osprey
#

I think they're very high if not the highest priority

minor gust
sharp goblet
#

in aoe they are never clicked

sharp goblet
#

in ST pretty much #2 after CS

tight basin
#

Cleave becomes higher prio than Slam in ST, at 35% no?

hasty pumice
#

But also depends

#

If you're setting up for a big burst like seat final boss damage amp

#

It's better to slam for heroic strike fishing to make colossus smash stronger

#

Sometimes you want to sacrifice short term DPS for long term DPS , especially since in this specific example it's incredibly minor

tight basin
#

Ok I see, final thing in execution phase, you stack 2 Execute before MS? or you just go by priorty?

hasty pumice
#

On slayer yes

#

On colossus you don't really care

#

You can't use execute back to back as col

#

So just use it once and then ms

#

Also if you don't have a shaman in M+ you might wanna be careful during execute phase

#

Gotta charge weave a ton cause without shammy buff you'll run out of rage insanely fast

#

And use every overpower stack

sharp goblet
#

usually lura does't line up that well, once you hit the second amp phase it's at like 20% or less, it will die anyway so I wouldn't worry about optimizing it (since first burn is well above 35%)

#

but certainly pool rage before burn

hasty pumice
#

Some groups prefer 2nd amp BL for example

sharp goblet
#

fair

hasty pumice
#

In 10s this shit won't matter anywhere

#

But low-key I hate playing col without shaman. Bosses feel so rough

sharp goblet
#

you can try to stack mobs on top of bosses as much as possible

#

but most tanks don't bother

#

hell my friend refuses since "we'll time it anyway", so I just go slayer most of the time

hasty pumice
#

I'm aware, in 18s/19s people do that but

#

Many bosses you can't really add a lot of funnel to or none

#

E.g. mt 2nd boss

sharp goblet
#

that boss generally just sucks

#

but then you pump on third boss 😎

hasty pumice
hasty pumice
#

My highest there was close to 300k

#

Sadly during that key we wiped on 3rd boss so I just started playing slayer for seat since it allows you to skip every chain mob and the 3rd boss is more comfortable

#

Worst boss by far is windrunner last

#

I swear that fight just completely goes against everything arms wants to do, especially if you don't have comms to ensure you always take a close arrow

tight basin
#

Pit of saron, forgemaster..

#

I'm having issues dps there, but I recently switched to arms so im still adapting

#

Did it in +15 a min ago, made the key but dmg was awful compared to my Fury.

plush hill
hasty pumice
tight basin
#

I think it's more me trying to adapt to the rotation and prio that it messes up my movement and uptime

#

As i said, changed to Arms yesterday night

hasty pumice
#

My advice is to re-read the prio list after every key

#

It's dull but it helps being more self reflective when it comes down to your rota

#

And slowly find the line

#

The amount of mistakes will likely keep going down until there's barely any

#

For ST Colossus after 12.05, we're still expecting it to be 1:1 CS:Demo, right?

#

Considering that currently Demo doesn't even line up with CS to begin with

dim basalt
#

And if you have to hold its by a few seconds at most

leaden garnet
#

No?

#

CS comes off CD way before Demo

#

Like 15s before

umbral badger
# dim basalt Thats already happening right now

naah, what's happening now is you get first demo with first CS, then second demo with second CS, half way through the CS or at the end of it. "especially if BL was involved with the first CS"

#

and then 3rd CS you will never get a demo with it

umbral badger
leaden garnet
#

Hmmm. I may have been doing Colo ST wrong then

#

I've been delaying CS to line it up with Demo

umbral badger
#

and hi guys :d are the patch notes arch uploaded considered the final 12.0.5 notes now or is there still something final

leaden garnet
#

But I guess it's better to send CS on cooldown and just skip a Demo cast if necessary to resync

umbral badger
#

that being said, there is no point overthinking it anymore

#

they will always be ready together frm now on

#

which is nice cuz that also means we will always get the 10% haste with the CS now

coral harness
#

what about avatar? do you always use it on cd?

dim basalt
#

Only with CS

#

Both line up naturally

umbral badger
#

but atl east everything will always line up wtih CS

coral harness
#

awesome, thanks for the info

tribal river
#

Arms after the patch be the best for Mythic+?

umbral badger
random ridge
#

In aoe we may have 2 demolo every other cs no ?

leaden garnet
#

I think if you prioritise MS in AoE, you'll have two Demo casts per CS cast

umbral badger
random ridge
#

1 sweep ms will be 10s cdr at max stack then

#

Dors it still double on crits ?

leaden garnet
#

10-20s, yeah

random ridge
#

Holy

#

20s cdr on one gcd is crazy

umbral badger
#

that being said, i'd say that maybe a certain amount of crit will help gaurantee having 2 Demos per CS

#

we will see

leaden garnet
#

That requires a double crit which isn't that common

random ridge
#

They are not anticipating whats coming i think

leaden garnet
#

Conversely, Demo guarantees your next MS crits so it already secures +4 stacks

umbral badger
random ridge
#

Yes theres that

umbral badger
leaden garnet
#

And 5% less damage to MS, Slam, and Cleave due to the hero talent nerf, and also no more Deep Wounds on Cleave

Heyo! Wish to return to WoW after missed the whole War Within and half of Dragonflight. And now I'm thinking about gearing the arms warrior or unholy dk. I've heard, that dk will not be changed a lot for 12.0.5 but what about the arms?

And In general, is arms good enough for M+?

#

Possibly the best in the game

#

Playing Arms will not be the limiting factor in clearing high keys

umbral badger
#

what might be disgusting though about deep wound stuff, and maybe i am overthinking it here and overcomplicating it. but the idea that i would wanna swap targets constantly if my target got deep wounds by mortal strike

#

so that i apply a new deep wound on another target instead of overwriting the deep wounds

#

that sounds like a bit of a drag

dim basalt
#

Thats not gonna do anything

umbral badger
#

i hope not

dim basalt
#

Why would it?

umbral badger
#

dunno how duration of deep wounds work

dim basalt
#

Leftover damage is being added on top anyway

umbral badger
#

like how it worked back in teh days you mean ?

#

good old vanilla / tbc deep wounds "not sure which"

dim basalt
#

No idea, but it essentially works like ignite

umbral badger
#

good to know i defo don't like the complication otherwise

#

would be such a disgusting minmaxing playstyle

warrior pumps in 10s no worries

umbral badger
sharp goblet
#

u don't have any ramp, u always have cds so short lived packs are not as much of an issue

#

and best of all you can charge/leap through mechanics and not worry too much about death because they don't hit as hard as in 15+

#

optimal warriorbrain playstyle range

proven bloom
leaden garnet
#

Mmmm I'd play Slayer in 10's

#

It has a more "normal" damage profile

#

Colo cares a lot about the cadence that mobs die at which is difficult to predict in low level pugs

#

Also cares more about carrying buffs between pulls which isn't a strong point of low io tanks

sharp goblet
#

UDK thrives on cooldowns and big pulls, if you're pugging 10s warrior will almost certainly feel better. Stuff tends to die fast and tanks tend to pull small

umbral badger

in 10s everything is fine fun is the max value

What about semi-non-casual keys like 12-14?

Not sure that I'll ever attempt smth more than 14 😄 Just got no time for try hard

umbral badger
#

like m+ was much easier from the get go this season to the point where ppl were doing 12s easier than they did 10s in previous expansion

sharp goblet
#

14s are a good benchmark, stuff kind of gets tougher around there; not enough that class balance matters, but enough that all classes pretty much play like they would in higher keys, so much less feels bad moments where you pop cds and the pack dies or something

proven bloom

I came back after a six year break and with no connections and no guild, was clearing +10s on literally day one

legion arms didn't have spell reflect

umbral badger

so if you wanna auto pilot do a lot of dmg and be giga tanky colossus arms and thane fury are your thing

and die by the sword is amazing, especially because tanks like to aggro mobs just by moving for some reason

well, the improved version of spell reflect

so you strip aggro all the time

Only 2 buttons: macro with /w to healer with "SAVE ME DUDE" and "PRAY FOR ME DUDE"

at least i remember a day when i was as a feral cat squihsy as fk

i think it was after they removed the 30% area damage taken reduciton "which i don't remember where it was from"

#

i think it was just a random talent

for rogues and feral druids

flat willow

unholy had an artifact trait like that

#

maybe the same for feral

proven bloom
#

So, as the result, both udk and warriors at the moment is good for M+ 10-15 and both are have options to survive too? Or udk just better in all of that things?

umbral badger
sharp goblet
dim basalt
#

Im pretty sure that Arms does better in large pulls

#

Especially in longer ones

generally the unholy damage profile is better in most content, burst tends to be favored over sustained output

uhdk is a tank

and it gets even less fun for uh dk soon

umbral badger
# dim basalt huh?

cuz with mroe gear things will die faster with the initial colossus burst

dim basalt
#

Oh youre strictly talking about lower key levels

#

Thought they were getting nerfed in .5

umbral badger

so i am telling him to get away form uh dks if he is gonna go for farm-keys rather than push keys

hasty pumice

In lower keys fuck all matters

#

Let's be real

proven bloom
hasty pumice
umbral badger

I mean if he just wants to do keys with his friends who don't play often, maybe unholy would be better, you'd have better overalls with arms

but if no one does boss damage

umbral badger
hushed patrol
#

and more util

flat willow
#

it could get kinda awkward

sharp goblet
#

hmmm interesting, a similar geared UDK and Warrior in for example algathar first pull in a 10, warr will do more damage?

also I'm pretty sure udk doesn't have as much ramp as you think, u press army and PUMP; a better example would be devourer

umbral badger
#

if you play a class where things die before you ACTUALLY play, it's not fun for you.

#

and that's what's gonna happen in a 10 or 11 if your uh dk

flat willow
#

he said 10-15, yeah unholy doesn't get to play at 10 but starting like 13 it's fine

umbral badger
flat willow

AA i'd bet on the unholy

umbral badger

but yea AA is probably an exception pull

#

hard to gather and put in range of arms aoe

flat willow

unholy doing one gorillion epidemic and not caring about the aoe under the mobs

sharp goblet
#

Unholy is really nice because it's not a melee spec

umbral badger
#

but yea i'd not advice ppl on what to pick based one one single pull of one single dungeon

#

honestly

#

and hopefully demo radius increase will make us feel less disgusted by that pull

hasty pumice
#

It's just no fun to never be able to fully blast

umbral badger
#

warriors do most of their dmg on the first few seconds so at least they get to have fun

slow saddle
#

WHAT

hasty pumice
#

I mean arms also scales well with packs that live long, especially due to cleave execute phase

slow saddle
#

ah aoe

hasty pumice
#

And arms also needs to ramp up first a bit

#

The first pull is always worse due to no demolish stacks

slow saddle
#

in raid i feel like i am ramping until fackin 35%

umbral badger
hasty pumice
umbral badger
hasty pumice
#

I feel like warrior is the most fun when execute matters

#

Or execute phases

fast warren
#

do you guys stack CM stacks before ripping CS, or do you CS cleavex4 for stacks then demo

fast warren
#

like first pull

umbral badger
hasty pumice
#

If you don't stack up demolish during the pull psure you do all cleaves , one MS and then demolish

umbral badger
#

you have to understand, 12.0.5 is not the same as before it

hasty pumice
#

In aoe

#

In ST just use it

umbral badger
#

the idea is this , now that demo is your only way to deep wounds in AoE, and it resets way faster, you do not want it to be on CD

#

cuz no demo = no deep wounds now

#

in aoe at least

fast warren
#

ah so after patch youd not worry about stacks and just CS demo

dim basalt
#

You already do cs demo rn

umbral badger
#

you'd need the goats to confirm what i am saying here, but i don't see any reason to delay demo and lose a lot of deep wounds dmg

dim basalt
#

Does a lot of damage without stacks and you wanna make sure its ready for the next cs window

umbral badger
#

just to build some Colossus might stacks

proven bloom
#

What will be in 12.0.5? As I see, slayer will not be good enough as before due tu reduced wounds on cleave and without ms procs extra damage

Sorry guys, my thing was ice bolt ice bolt ice bolt procs flurry lance lance for the last 2 years as i played it

umbral badger
hasty pumice

Even in e.g skyreach people play colossus now

So slayer naturally falls off the higher you go

umbral badger
sharp goblet
#

AA is the most slayer key

hasty pumice
#

Seat in pugs also favours slayer

#

Since the chains become super dangerous

dim basalt
#

Im sure we will play col in AA after changes as well

hasty pumice
#

And slayer perma removes them

hasty pumice
dim basalt
#

idk I think the aoe gain from col will even it out

sharp goblet
#

I died way too many times in first pull AA during demolish

dim basalt
#

Plus the col ST wont be that far off from current Slayer

hasty pumice
#

On slayer I have 75-80k ST and colossus 62k max

#

Idk

umbral badger
# hasty pumice AA is way too much ST

well, colossus ST in m+ spec is gonna improve a lot probably since Colossus buff is strictly demo and mortal strikes based which is what we already ahve

hasty pumice
#

How much is a lot?

sharp goblet
#

they did nuke one free cleave

white canopy
#

Anyone have a TL;DR on what the changes mean?

hazy holly
#

do we have any sims ?

white canopy
#

I gues colossal is abit nerfed

#

and slayer is buffed?

sharp goblet
#

other way

flat willow
umbral badger
# hasty pumice How much is a lot?

if we are able to push 70k more consistantly i'd be happy, my max as colossus "last 2 days" was 74k which is very rare so i am hoping that would be my average

dim basalt
umbral badger
white canopy
hasty pumice
dim basalt
#

Sims are an average so yeah

hasty pumice
dim basalt
#

You can have way less but also way more based on procs

hasty pumice
#

Arms, especially slayer, is heavily proc dependant

#

That's just the nature of it

umbral badger
#

also ppl should remember that the worst part of Colossus ST is that sometimes you would go into the fight nad have nothing to do cuz of how hard it was to demo reset. so at least now you will have a bit "more fun" on ST

white canopy
#

So the potential is high but avrage is low I guess

#

Or lower

hasty pumice
#

If you get 6 sudden death procs back to back you'll have way more DPS than 1 proc in 20 gcds

umbral badger
#

like i legit have ST fights as colossus with 40k dps cuz i got into boss fight with NOTHING, not even CS or demo ready

#

it's like going into a gun fight wtihout even a knife xd

#

so at least we will have better time with that now
