good players know that its good though
Nope, items you already have don’t impact it at all
So you could bonus roll a dup?
guys which is more played for m+ ? collosus or slayer ?
Certainly seems that way
It’s designed as a multi week bad luck protection
That is…… not as good! Lol
It guarantees eventually you get a specific item
Good use of it will give you crazy fast myth track gearing
i heard colosus is better now
noting really changed
colo is still worse then slayer at dealing ST damage
3 myth track items a week without even setting foot in mythic raid
Yeah pretty wild
so slayer is better for mythic+
Like if your guild wanted to have a couple of extra MM hunters for paladins you could do it pretty easily
slayer better in some dungeons, colo better in other dungeons
Slayer is probably all around safer for pugs
But colossus with a tank that will pull big and pull trash into bosses will make it better than slayer most of the time
unless you just have zero faith in your ability to use Demolish effectively, I think Colossus is just going to be better across the board starting next week
^ +1
some pugs that isnt an unreasonable assumpiton
You think in raid, as well?
fuckass tanks
we'll see though, Slayer will still have moderately stronger ST, but Colossus is going to be way ahead in multi
there are a couple bosses you can leverage Cleave or Demo on, but raid is mostly Slayer since it's almost entirely ST (for Arms)
Yeah and I guess paladins will stay colossus, though idk, maybe with the bladestorm buff and the fact that most of it is 2-target, maybe slayer becomes viable there
at last a hero trinket :)
Very likely the case. At least slayer is still really good in keys compared to other specs. Just when compared to Colo that shit is likely to be overall better
Are we changing anything in our trees to accommodate these patch changes?
Do we hold BS for add phases on most raid fights?
what trinkets are the best for arms
because i sim my self and say the trinket from imperator is the best
Guidon and the vorasius trinket are a solid combo
I feel like vorasius is a good staple
vorasius / plume + guidon / puzzle box
yeah i have vorasius and the haste one from WS
Gaze is p good too, no?
Gaze is good in raid, bit less in m+
Wouldn't count on it. Colo was better for m+ all of TWW. But slayer is still good. It's done 20s and will continue to do 20s so like if it's something like you just don't want to play Colo you can still play slayer.
I know I will
Frozenslayer
Paladins is still 100% Colossus
- a good portion of the fight is actually 2tar, which Slayer is now worse at
I could see Dragons being ok for Slayer, as long as the adds live about as long as Bladestorm, but Colossus is probably going to be the more consistent pick
Saladbar could also go either way, depending on how much you actively cleave
Tbh if slayer was less rng reliant id play it more (says the person playing outlaw)
Colo still just has better 2T so I don't see you ever going slayer on dragons
How much we lost/gain st on pure st as arms? I've heard 2-3%, is it true?
Arms doesn't lose anything in ST, it only gains
playing slayer no?
the sustained Execute kinda makes up for it, but again I do think that Colossus will be the more consistent pick
I like slayer m+ 🙁
And you can still play iy
I think slayer and colo are arguably the closest they've ever been
is any place i can go and see the sims?
I haven't even tried to play the ST/2T Colo build. Even with 2 CT is Colo still pretty dry without the extra SD procs?
Then keep playing slayer M+ it's still very good. Just not gonna be better than Colo
Hi guys, can you please clarify on dawncrests usage - if i will spend 80 on craftable piece that is not bis then will the item in that slot be upgraded to 280+ in case of vault drop?
with CT and Skyfury rage should be fine
i just value being able to swap when i feel or for certain dungeons. I enjoy that they both have similar kits but play differently
Anyone had issues turning in this cracked keystone quest? I can turn it in even though it says I completed the tasks, there is no button to turn it in, nor any npc to go to...
yeah! and the tuning never ends
who knows what the future brings
Yup that’s the plan! I’ll learn how to colo some day
its crazy how good the crucible is
Was tryna cook a new slayer M+ with no BLord/BB. Took MP and powerful instead. Turns out BLord actually does a lot for our rage when you don't have a shaman. Equal in ST with a shammy but without MP build lost 2.5% ST xD
Click on the quest
It should pull up the completion screen
No button to turn it in shit is fucked
yeah it's basically this, although you can swap the 1 BB for Overwhelming Finish
Yes sir when I track it and untrack nothing happens, relogged, restarted, disabled addons everything
I just abondoned gonna do it again I guess lol...
i dont c slayer using Blord next week no
as u wanna hit OP more
it might just be better takin OP ?
Has anyone done the math on the buffs/nerfs next week for each hero spec? M+ is what I care about
Colo eating very well, Slayer okay-ish
This was posted earlier, seems like Colossus will be around 8% ST buff and 7% 2 targets, both heros will lose a bit aoe but still viable
not bad but meh, and any fight where arms shines just a little bit, id venture collosus prob is the play
Worth to note that colo might actually gain a bit
Yeah I was cooking with this. Since slayer is now gonna be cleave > op > Ms in aoe. Equal ST to the BLord build and 2-3% AOE gain.
And then OPP instead of FF
hmmm the cooldown tracker doesn't seem to work properly with sweeping strikes
Didn’t expect an aoe nerf
whawhat i level does this represent
Dunno I just saved the pic from someone else who posted it earlier not my data
You have 1 free cast of cleave less on proc for example, slayer gains more bladestorm dmg tho
i see, that dps seems like a BIS calculation there is no way m+ colossus sims 77k currently without bis
i assume
Blord build is still good. Any other build I've tried the differences are small. Blord build also good if you don't have a shaman
Yeah prob BiS from ptr
we never do unless i host the parties 
still insane funnel
Then stick with BLord. I plan on using the one I linked more since I usually have a shaman and I like having access to powerful for any of the dungeons with 2T bosses
Spire, seat, and pit are crazy for arms ngl
i love spire but the bosses are annoying
NPX is pretty good too imo
Spire owns last boss bladestorm tech is great too
....explain
Only reason I will never play Colo in spire
My guess is the stun?
you can just spin through the wind thing
You can ignore the wave thingy with bladestorm or demo
But I assumed it would do damage too
You can bladestorm the circle
You still want to hit the knock up to remove the dot though
It immunes it
No you are immune
BS negates it all
tbf you can just hit an arrow and leap/charge back down too
Oh you spin into the knockup for the dot removal and ignore the stun
it saves you like almost no time, and can force you to hold BS when you wouldn't otherwise hold it, it's not the greatest tech in history
folks don’t seem to get hit twice for the dot removal tbh
No there is no dot BS negates it all
wow i never knew you could ignore the ring with bs
Sure but it is something
BS comes back on avg at the same time as the wave.
And free uptime is sick
Unless you are insanely lucky with SD procs you aren't really holding BS
But the boss puts a debuff on you you can only get rid of by using an arrow
Thats what hes saying
I don’t think it’s that big of deal you can just charge or leap anyway
But you should be removing the dot asap and not when the circle comes
But you don't get that debuff tho
I demolish the circle if it lined with cds but that’s all
You do tho?
Honestly still kinda hate spires bosses
Because its not tied to the circle mechanic
Orc boy is so awkward
Heart bird and duo are peak
Hrart is annoying
Orc is ok
Is it a dot? Or a debuff?
Well, a debuff
the bosses aren't difficult. they just have annoying mechanics
The dot comes from the arrows
Duo has a better hook mech then stitch flesh but still annoying
A cast the boss always does after the circle mechanic is over
Not the moving circle
I like bird actually
What does it do cuz guess I'm clueless on that. I've done WS on a 15 and never have had to care about a debuff
Looks like a little guy kicking
Bird is just a fun Lil dodge mini game
Just damage
Just permanent damage and the only way to remove it is to use an arrow
So in higher keys you use an arrow asap when you get it
Cuz it drains hp like crazy
I swear BS removes that
If BS removes it then Fearless should too, no?
I would have noticed taking constant dmg
I need to test that next time Im in there
Maybe
If Fearless removes it thats some crazy tech
Orc guy might be my least favorite boss in the entirety of the season
But I've done it on a 15 so far that should be noticeable dmg.
But you’d theoretically hit the arrow, and then hit the arrow again before the lightning clearing circles
You defo start noticing it in a 16
i like orc guy actually. Fun to cleave his minions down
just annoying when you get picked for his jump

i'm usually always charging at him and sometimes hes been picking me
its weird
Guys what are we using to sim M+ atm? Just Patchwork, 5 targets?
Actually now
yeah patchwerk and whatever target count you want
All of slyreach bosses
Aight cool ty
Fuck that dungeon
Samee
huge ass glaives 😄
1st boss is fine even though its an eternity (and those glaive hitboxes are jank(
The laser robot is fun
i find this season is pretty good. I just don't like algathar
Bird is fun as Arms
2nd boss is sleeper boring
Ruhk is genuinely annoying
Basically doing nothing but soaking a laser and then dodge
Yeah
Yeah dodge with vague indicators
Like half of srs bosses are just being afk
is there a way to track your trinket cd?
We love when Blizz just forgets to keep doing things they said they would do from now on. Like clear edge indicators on mechanics
Fixed at the end of this season np
NPX dread lords frontal edge non existent like hello?
Yeah those ones are also awful
Theyre so inconsistent with adding indicators even within the same dungeon lol
Always the furthest for each jump
there has been a few times that has not been the case
It’s when he starts prepping the ability
I’ve seen some failed bait attempts
But as a tank it’s consistent for me to get
Great tanks bait the second* jump cause it does like piss damage to them
Was gonna say how the fuck do you bait the first
Cause yeah I back out after the jump and it guarantees to go on me
How do you like the second boss???
I play arms

With a good tanks that one is good
Idk if its dyslexia or something but this hits me hard sometimes. I was genuinely thinkinh second and typed first 🙃
I dislike 2nd boss despite arms
So much downtime avoiding ghosts, moving pools away
Season is a bit melee unfriendly for sure lol
But the pulls are amazing
I might have warped opinions from mostly playing udk
Love big windrunner pulls
The true ranged melee
Seat trash is worse for me
Low timer
And bad healers for first pull of seat
NPX has a good timer imo
Seat is literally one mob
I find seat to be pretty chill
That is atrocious
so next week were not gonna play colo the same as usual right?
It’s the double pull when you’ve already chains and it’s still somehow alive
Or demolish or bs (I think that works)
I just feel like the trash is so much more dangeroud in seat than the bosses by a huge magnitude
Tanking nexus sucks too
Oh yeah the bosses are meaningless
At least in the 12-14 range that I’m at
Tbh 90% of this is from rogue xp
Fuck the left side trash
Yeah i can see how that sucks
Fearless carries hard
The engineers fucking suck tho
Doesn’t matter how good the group is, I’m always sweating bullets
Like I can take care of myself but the others
NPX is my next key and I like most of it
People ignoring bombs sets me off
Stop being selfish help me kill bombs
Right side trash is super chill
Bladestorm mobs
I think my favorites are magisters, windrunner, and maisara
Right side is chill, middle is chill if dps know how to kick
I found out today that the purple circles that slow you on npx left side trash also does damage to everyone when you move
It’s just the god damn seers and engineers
Besides the glaive oh my god stoo
Be a nelf and just meld off the bladestorm fixate
I was always popping horse on udk and running with it more than I should have :(

....
GOD
Evrey day i learn how good vanish and meld are
Nelf rogue lowkey is goated
WHERES MY HORDE SHADOWMELD
That's why all my characters are forever nelfd
If we ever get atal dazar again in m+
Never will I ever
Also WHERES MY HORDE DWARF
You already know rezan getting cheesed
Cause shadowmeld and stone form are stupid
You get earthen
Can you nelf the carry mechanic last boss SR?
Rip
Dont think so
Earthen should’ve gotten stoneform
They’re literally made of stone
No you can't. But I watched a DDH just backflip shift back onto the platform after being thrown off

earthen should have gotten anything useful
fuck DHs man
how does slayer raid build effects from 12.0.5 changes ?
Huge style
No talent swaps
% wise ?
Havoc dh apex kinda sweet to play with
You always get double death sweep in every eyebeam
Slayer still has the better ST
help me understand, we dont use your apex on AOE at all?
No because of the talent fervor of battle cleave uses it for you
*only in 3T fyi
after craftin emb. weapon and bracer , should we craft cape or neck? i have hero cape and champ neck
Is there a tldr % damage changes for both slayer and colossus arms for st and aoe somewhere?
Id sim to see whats a bigger gain but
Theres also a good argument to not craft this week
And wait till vault and bonus roll
Sim! I crafted back since double arcanoweave+mythic weapon simmed higher than crafted
you talent into the Apex, you just don't cast it manually - Fervor of Battle auto-casts it when using Cleave
Does anyone have a video of them just hitting a target dummy ST as colossus, I gotta just see what were supposed to be hitting cause I feel like im following the prio pretty closely but my ST damage is wet noodle for my ilvl i feel like 
btw im just following rend (if not up) ms > heroic strike > overpower > slam prio
Wet noodle is the expected result
Colosus ST is just wet noodle lol
No there isn't because Archi decided not to include them in the update post. Tldr it's all minor buffs to ST and minor nerfs to aoe
though it'll be a bit better next week

im unironically like hovering 50k
but im ilvl 280 so i just gotta see if im mentally handicapped or if its spec
I didn't include because we're still working out the specifics
-# and because some people are still copage there will be some ST buffs eventually
yeah, he and others have been continually messing with it
buff master of warframe to 10% each stack
while I get why some people always want to know, I personally don't think putting out hard numbers is overly important in a case like this
- if there were a big change, like major talent or rotation, or significant tuning difference (e.g. +20% ST buff lol) then that might be a diff story
- but in this case, it's just kind of small tweaks
also the patch isn't live yet, as pretty much always, I will put out a new update on Tuesday
I mean it's a big buff, but in terms of how much ST Colossus does in the first place, it's not that big lol

Midnight melee DPS is looking surprisingly strong in raids, even if melee specs are traditionally behind ranged in World of Warcraft Midnight. In this video, we break down the Midnight melee tier list in raids, ranking every melee DPS spec based on real data from Warcraft Logs and...
Arms war S tier LFG
Terrible tier list if it's saying arms is S tier for raid
Idk that I'd call em S, but I def believe this patch is pretty all around good for Wars (in M+)
def not in raid
not too bad on last phase aleria hc
like Superman said S means Hope
cries in Prot
Yeah we do fairly consistant, high damage to mobs. Okish in raid,v ery good in m+
his video kinda makes it seem like Arms is S out of melee, because other melee are just bad
but he's also basing that off of the fact that it can be really good at Dragons and Lightblinded.... but saying its S tier because its good at the easier fights in the raid is kind of disengenuous
If anything though, I think it's more indicative of the fact that melee in general just isn't very good this tier lol
how bad is losing mortal wounds on cleave for slayer
me when a lura sawblade gives me a free taper fade and saws off my brain stem
just a little 2 much off the top
keep in mind that his channel is pretty catered to casual content too, so when he says Raid, he's probably talking about N/H more than Mythic
It's made up by the 20% BS buff
like is it even better than having mortal wounds?
it takes a hit at higher target counts, but it's partially made up for w/ the Bladestorm buff
Only thing that's hurting slayer aoe is losing the chance for MS to proc reap
in terms of numbers, I'd say its kind of the other way around tbh
Bladestorm makes up for the loss of Reap, not the loss of DW
According to Archimtiros, for the Colossus Warrior to deal damage to the boss, it will need to take adds to boss, and they're calling that an improvement? really ?
I feel like that's kind of a bastardization of my comments
especially since they got ST buff
or at least being presented without context
and thejr aoe is crazy
Makes sense
as long as you don't absolutely suck at using Demo, Colossus is going to be better overall, yeah
tragic
Colo is likely gonna be overall better but slayer is still a good spec. It will continue to be able to do high keys no problem
If you hate Colo you can very much keep playing slayer
Lets be real half the people who play Arms only play it when it's better than Fury
Just understand it's gonna be a lil worse than colo
So they will also swap to colossus
btw he also ranks Fury as S-tier lol
The problem is that it wasn't just an improvement; it had so many nerfs, even though the warrior isn't among the best classes.
Warrior is among the best in M+
"it has incredible boss damage in how it handles phases" 
?_?
Personally shocked a content creator would say something so bold and controversial
that is not incredible LOL
Season 3
tww
it was as fury pretty good
u asked When
i really hope they can do something good change talents tuning on 12.1
no content creator that tries to cover all classes/specs is going to be accurate
i mean but arms is like dumpster fire in raid no dmg wise
even a lot of content creators that only focus on one class can't always keep up with each of the specs
That Javier guy is actually a master of every class and spec sir, his guides are bulletproof
if u exclude the meme 3 boss and full time 2t cleave buff
but there ain't nobody in existence that has enough time and personal experience to accurately assess 40 different specializations, it's just not realistic
then u should make a list based on what ppl that actually knows spec says ?
wait u cant
coz warlocks always sandbag
cya
For warlocks, you listen to w/e they say and then bump it up 2-3 tiers

I’d say’s tactyks is pretty good for all tanks
Next season for sure!
Because then st will matter more
Arms or fury for ST after next patch?
I've only played fury so far. Everytime I sim with arms it's significantly lower dps
How big do wqe think that slayer arms nerf is ganna be?

i mean
theree rly is no st
where u cant steal a bit of dps as arms 😄
why you think that?
Its cope we dont get another pad tier
it sims lower but its mostly better boss dps
like how unholy sims at 130k but doesnt actually do 130k on vorasius
how do you parse high on myth fallen king?
kill orbs not boss
i seem like to be stuck at 80-90k dps
Pad orbs
u guys playing with cleave?
Or wait for wcl to make orb damage not count
or just cs bladestorm
no cleave
i just go ethical spec and play ST and just fully hit boss
if you get good bladestorm cdr rng in the intermission and the boss dies right after the intermission you get like a 99 guranteed
Being ethical dosent pay this tier
....colo on dragons is not ethical
that ethical cleave spam!
also lets not kid ourselves, you're not going to rank on bosses 1-5 by being ethical, Arms or not
rank 1-5 is always etihical idk wym
it definitely is lmao
bosses 1-5, not rank 1-5
no such thing has padding or being funneled PI and buffs or anything of the sort
Wait a few weeks, everybody will be so powerfull that you will miss some demo
its way more boss damage/funnel on the bosses then slayer or either fury hero talent
Man im glad im not playing raid
just need to play dreamrift and seocnd boss for trinkets then never have to touch it again
The never ending cycle! Go st->parse bad cus no pad->get shit bc bad parse->go pad-> parse good-> boss don’t die->get shit bc u pad and rl says parses doesn’t matter->Go st->
1st boss voidspire is kinda the only one where you need to be unethical to parse
you make your 13 other dps go ST while you go AOE pad ez pz
that would be expensive
salhadaar if you get good rng and just hit boss its crazy boss dps, unfort most people just go bladestorm balls
is all we have 
think next week im just gonna send arms instead of thane fury pog
i mean
in my guild
shits dead b4 it gets to tank
so dno what RNG u talking about
except
we are one of the specs that can use cds
in both the burn and outside of the burn
but if you dont get good BS cdr
its bricked
Lowest is probably law
the lowest burn is the specs that cant use cds in the burn
which is shit like spriest, shamans and hunters (2 mins specs) unless you hold your cds for the burn which is very very bad
spriest just happens to be really good on that fight cause its spread cleave
Prob just slam col next week
Man I dont like how much burn we have this season
Like half the dungeons have a burn
A lot of bosses
It feels more then usual
hmm sweeping strikes doesn't seem to do the alert for the buff tracker when it falls off unless it falls off from duration
I wish theyd fix ss on thr cdm
Mine breaks constantly
ahhh glad i'm not crazy
I think that’s one the reason ppl like Biz setup up CDM und and get ArcUI to fix that
Seems like it’s working fine in that combination
ArcUI is ass without proper setup aswell tho
What does the arcui setup for sweeping strikes look like ?
It took me a few days to put arc how I like it but
Its good
I'm following critcakes ui since I think it's pretty clean but I'd like a way to track sweeping strikes better
Also my cm stack tracker breaks often
It’s just a clean visual that shows stacks when activated and then darkens when it’s on cd/not active
I just use blizz plates and will copy Biz string to use arc ui as cd and personal buff tracker for might stacks etc
Ah, I'll have to download and set it up, I'm following critcakes ui since I think it's clean, but it doesn't track sweeping strikes that well
@astral yarrow
So recleared dragons today with both our devourers in
Couldn't finish demolish casts

Is Colossus still worth it in keys even if I don't have a shaman for Skyfury buff?
Imo colo without skyfury is mostly okay
But I haven't pushed high keys
Colossus or slayer 18 MC
So I dont rage starve often
Colo in Mc always
Colos 2 target for first boss is just dunb
Decent sized pulls
Damage amp on last boss
Cool ty
I think colo is better on every dungeon, except maybe you can argue skyreach, and AA...?
those of u playing arms in keys, what is ur overall damage in keys lower than 14s? and how is the tank pulling for u
do u guys always run with a monk and shammy? and what do u do for bosses u cant pull adds into
Colossus in academy with current pacing and lifepools is straight up trolling
Idk if it'll be tuseday
i was gonna say do we ever get to play slayer again in keys after tuesday? I like it so much more...
(Also the lasher pack as colo fucks)
Is fury better then colo for it
Cuz id rather play fury thane over slarms
And I must break the one trick
how high are u pushing?
I play 2 Warris, one arms(both trees) and one fury and for me personally 15-16 keys I have to say fury was performing better than colo in academy but maybe it was a group performance thingy
I just have the one
Ive had similar experiences, but in 15-16 tanks will not pull for you to funnel on AA, the bird boss and last boss are ass, but you can funnel and pump vexamus and first boss
Then you will be better off with colo if your gear is aligned with arms crit/haste
Idk man Ive had consistent performance on fury too
Yeah that usually true, I had 2 runs on +15 with funnel on Vexa those were really decent but trash and bird boss take so long no matter the specc that colo still tanks time on last boss and you can get unlucky with demolish on orbs
also had similar experiences. ive been mainly playing fury so far but have been trying arms. am pushing 15/16s and it still seems like fury does better than either arms spec
but i am not playing with a coordinated team/tank where the tank chainpulls into bosses
I would say Arms does do better than fury overall and def will After reset. Academy just sucks ass on arms, slayer it’s kinda fine but fury seems more fluid in that dungeon
Yeah, I mean I think fury will probably perform better in like 90% of situations just because it plug and plays so well, but if you actually wanna do 18s and more where the team is more coordinated arms will pull ahead
Fury def can’t beat a good funnel Colo run imo
fury loses out to other specs like uhdk, devourer, ret, etc on big pulls like first pull in aa but i can catch up and beat some of them in overall by th end
Yeah I agree
yea. i thought from 14s and up arms would be better but ive ran some 15s and a 16 today and fury seems to still be better
Funnel runs in Pit can get arms up to 250k dps overall which is crazy good
im in 14/15s rn
no fury isnt beating arms at all in an ideal scenario but seems rare to be in that scenario
Unless you're actively trying to push for title or whatever, I think fury will perform better for the majority of people for m+
+16-17 seems to be the threshold where tanks atleast try to engage funnel scenarios more often but it’s still a dice roll especially in pugs
i want to play and practice arms but its pretty ass in lower keys
and in higher keys i need a monk and shammy with coordination
and im less practiced as arms cuz it doesnt perform in lower keys or pugs
But if you're playing in a coordinated setting you will get better results playing arms
What is the the "perfect" comp for us arms warriors in m+?
yea. esp since from 16 and up it gets really tight and u cant just faceroll with more damage as easily
Either that or Slayer Arms which is piss easy to play and if it doesn’t fall off with 12.0.5 it will keep the same spot I guess
I honestly still feel like its overblown how bad pugging as colo is
Its VERY rare you get a tank that fucks you. The only bad part is no funnel which sucks
no i think its pretty fair. i think its overblown how good arms is for most people
I personally think shaman helps a boatload for arms for sky fury and fury generation, everything else is preference
I usually go slayer in pugs with subpar group comps from the get go, I rather improve time or finish clean in the sake of the group rather than bet on the tank to support my way better Colo performance (and fun I would have playing Colo)
u got a coordinated push team or smth? there shouldnt be that much of a difference at that level
and slayer might perform better at that level as well
Is slayer for skyreach and AA simply because you can’t reliably funnel into bosses?
I see Brew & Resto Sham I apply - that’s the first rule of arms fight club hahah
I honestly feel like I do fine as colo
ahh i wasnt sure, it just looked like they were getting a big nerf with the reap the storm changes, so I thought it might no longer be viable. I push with some friends, but occasionally pug too
So far I just raw dog pugged every single key I ran on my arms
But then again evreyone here is doing another universe of damage
Ya, and the bosses are super ST focused
(Comparison of all the buffs)
Like the bird, if you don't have enough ST you'll probably just brick your key
The bird in AA*
i thought tuesdays changes are pretty small for arms
Colossus is pretty good and everything
Single target is lacking, but I believe it’s already gonna be fixed on Tuesday
Colo is def a skill game with stack and CD management. Biz explained it perfectly in his guide. People are too scared to pop smash/demo/Avatar on packs with 30% hp but that’s where u gain dmg/time and cd reset value which can catapult your own and group performance for the run
fury st is getting a decent nerf with the reap changes tho
Fury still runs thane
🤷♂️
the reap changes for fury affect both hero talents i think
Slayer wasn’t too far behind
since reap doesnt proc off of ST rampage
Colo gets 8% on ST and 7% on two target fights while losing very tiny overall aoe so it’s gonna be good I guess
To the point that novix still has timed 19s as slayer
and we arent getting any other changes other than a bs buff so
maybe we will see more slayer in raid? idk
what about slayer
what do the numbers come to for them?
Let me check one moment
thanks
Yeah slayer only gains 3% ST
ik the changes, i didnt know the overall
Bladestorm damage increase decreases the overall aoe loss but it’s still a drop from now
So u guys recommend Slayer or col after Tuesday for a casual gamer dad brain?
ur talking about fury right
fury.
lmao
Naaa
if ur a casual/dad gamer just go fury
Fury is pure vibes, love it
ur just gonna be doing less damage for no reason
Arms isn't difficult
Can't stand fury
Learn the prio
but if u want to play arms go slayer methinks
Bro col arms is braindead
Nah arms aswell look at the pic from the dev notes that RMV just posted
I can’t get used to rend
isnt arms the hardest/most complicated spec next to enhan and spriest rn
Rend is only somewhat relevant for aoe mate
Like I can do the rest of the prio but god damn it breaks my brain
I find that difficult to imagine
I think you use rend for ST as well, donr you
Not really
col arms is has more hoops to jump thru than slayer wdym
Slayer arms is faceroll, Colo arms need a bit practice for rotation and looking at stacks (rng involved with MS crits) and then it’s very doable for everyone
Rend on ST is a filler, 100% uptime isn't required
I keep hearing it lol
I play both! Just I suck at tend uptime
....colo has bleed buffs
And Rend on Slayer is whatever, do it as a filler or don’t, only real significant benefit is tiny self heal
except our rotation prio changes from aoe -> 2t -> st -> execute
But it's rather intuitive though
mortal strike and imminent demise be swappin prio n shit come execute or as soon as mobs die and there are only 2 targets
in my experience arms is one of the least intuitive specs ive played so far
I think ST both colossus and slayer are super easy. Colossus can be a bit stressful if you are not used to it in big aoe scenarios with cd management when aoe effects are happening
I mean it makes sense for AOE, it ignores target cap, so it's big value, for ST I guess I can see it, I was looking at some logs for raid and high m+ and it didn't seem like it was prioritized to be kept up
It never has been intuitive
im honestly surprised it didnt get more shit baked into the kit or get pruned
At least since df
Warrior despite the few buttons have a surprising number of dynamic conditoons
Like we are Zug Zug but there’s thought involved
These are actually somewhat wild perspectives to me but I guess it's cuz I've been playing warrior for too long
figured lol
i tried colosus arms after a day of learning spec rotation watching guides and i must say the ST dmg is absolutly horendous a bit above tank dmg. am i doing smth wrong? i am fallowing wowhead guide
Col AoE imo is quite chill like
Cleave for many targets
HS/MS for 2 targets
Execute is kind of meme
There isn't A LOT more beyond this
No it really is bad rn
Give us a log but generally its literally the worst st in the game
I have played warrior in original classic, new classic up until Cata release and now started retail with midnight and I think warrior is still very easy to comprehend once you have looked at rotation and cds
like colo st is like
press cleave (an aoe skill btw) in ST only when ravager is ongoing, or only when mob is under 35% hp as slayer
idek what happens in 2t. do i just go full st or still use cleave
Overall PvE is piss easy anyways compared to arena, that’s where the real skill magic happens imo
No
Get out
no its dogshit
Our ST will go up after Tuesday
We'll have essentially 1 more free demolish between each CS cast
Fuck off with these pvp takes
7% buff and itll still be doggo
😄 maybe my brain is just wired for physical classes
unless tank pulls mobs into boss for u then ur the best spec in the game
smh this spec
how did they butcher it this bad
Will the demolish buff be enough to CS demolish and get another one off before debuff falls off depending on how many mobs there are ?
U mean facts, but I won’t bother u haha
Before the next CS
Unlucky
Na sorry I don't care
Pvp is unfun bullshit
Guess that will be nice, right now you just perma hold it until CS
Mmo pvp is universally ass
Lost Ark kinda sick but thats off topic
WoW PvP is pretty dog
Gw2 is solid
That’s personal preference, but I can respect your opinion
who even plays pvp anymore lmfao
Only one i might play cuz wvw
But I legit cannot stand pvp in mmos
Pvp will only ever be fun to me in games expressly designed for it
lmfao wws just running around the pillar and healing themselves
Every perfectly played key/pve scenario doesn’t hit the same for me compared to a super clean setup kill in arena. My brain is just wired towards that haha
And I respect that
He meant world vs world from gw
You like what you like
Anyhow
I genuinely believe that if you set up your trackers right
(you just want to track: rend, SS, colossal might, basically that)
And then read the prio on wowhead and sit on a dummy
In <1h you're chilling on any Arms spec/talent combination
Simulate changing between multiple targets and less targets
Ensure rend is kept up
Ensure you don't override SS with the free SS from CS
do u raid mythic
But I hate the idea of putting down others for liking pve which many people do like this
Wow pvp has too much cc
So far I just pugged heroic raids and a few mythic pulls but raiding to me is very boring. I need fast paces, so blasting through keys is more up my alley in terms of PvE
"putting down others for liking pve"
bold of you to think i put a single grain of salt into a PVP player's opinion 
I dont want to raid cuz my schedule is trash for it
Hroth being so eternally based

nobody can tell you how to play your subscription (even pvp)
half my friends are Housing Builders and have far, far more hours and dollars into this game as me 😂
Tbh half the reason i play mmos is because its one of the few genres with competitive pve
u shud try progging mythic or going for ce
just like how u described the satisfaction of setting up a perfectly executed kill in arena theres something about perfectly executing ur rotation while doing movement and mechs and downing a hard boss with ur squad
Only raiding incentive for me is to get vault slots, catch my trinkets and dip tf out of it
Yeah I see what you are getting at but I raided too many Speedruns and raidleaded shit in heroic Wrath, I can’t be arsed with raiding enjoyment anymore. I like to prog through it once and then my fun dips into the negative
Yeah I think that was that
the barrier to entry for mythic raid is also a bit higher than pvp, i dont fault you there.
Not skill-wise, it's just a whole different game of herding cats, compared to 2s/3s/BGs
Mythic+ is super fun for me tho, I loved every minute of it, even bricked runs (not counting applying to get out of 6-12 keys limbo)
Eh I like 12s
Oh it’s def way different thing and I respect the hell out of stuff RWC players and top guilds are pulling off, just not for me to play myself
stuff also lives long enough for your CDs to matter 
Yes that too
Ive been trying to finish outlaw for ksl
Then I finish warrior and season done
I am the guild and raid leader of my CE team (this is no brag, just to anchor where my perspective comes from)
Imo raiding has little to do with the game and more to do with the people you raid with
If you have a sick environment of fun people that are ALSO extremely competent and can get shit done, that's legit the most fun thing imo
If you have a shit environment where everyone is just "clocking in" to get bosses killed and then dipping, that's dreadful, I'd hate that
Managing a raid team is work though, wouldn't recommend 
The keys are fun, the gatekeeping rageheads in the group are not. I have not encountered any single flaming in any player direction above +14. The most toxic ppl are where you start to get Myth vault slots, so 10-12
lmao the numbers make slayer look so bad hahahahahahhaha
Oh yeah I had really awesome times raiding with the right ppl, im with you on that
I can genuinely say a lot of our dudes are like "this game sucks but I love raiding with the boys"
And still put in all the work and perform quite well
Just to ensure we can keep doing it
Cuz if bosses don't die
I kinda hate this season
So I just want it all done so I can go back to gw2 nms and warframe
Team effort is the best if it’s voluntary and everyone is on the similar page
I can't even get my demolish off on dragons
So yeah
Not the hottest season for me for sure lmfao
Just press the key harder
Bro everything is dead
Class design sucks, addon restrictions, easy as fuck,

For once I get to be princess carried by the DHs in the team lmao
yeah the most fun you can have is when everyone has the same mindset.
If you mix and match folks with different goals it always ends up creating friction for one side or the other. Instantly sucks the fun out.
Tbh the "easy as fuck" is a hell of a lie
These last bosses are still 300-500 pull range mate
That's actually insanely harder than some of the previous tiers
Im not raidinf
So
I'll happily raid on a casual team if everybody is big chillin, or push if everyone is trying, but the worst teams ive ever been on are the ones where 4 workhorses are carrying 10 folks who raid log
Prob the reason why I enjoy pvp the most. I play with my brother and a really good friend and we are working together on creating new scenarios and gos. Def way harder to achieve that atmosphere in a bigger raid group but awesome if guilds can manage and achieve that
Ah fair I thought you meant raid
Raid feels easy outside of last 3
I only do keys to gear up and play with the boys, not a keys fan anymore
Done enough of that
Literally a decade of m+
Hahaha I feel that so much
do u guys think blizzard is gonna rework arms at some point this season or next season
Rather play Street Fighter 6 than push score (after I'm done gearing) lmao
I just cant raid
join my on my 1-button rotation journey to 3k
And keys are fine enough
Bm?
obviously

would Johnathan LFR have it any other way
You join me on my climb to Ultimate Master
Nah blizzard hates warriors, they have to take care of their favorite child til the end of days - Paladins just like every important character is/was a paladin in the lore

Misspelt mage
That’s just the caster version of Rets
it is pretty wild seeing how Ret currently works. I had a rant about it the other day, but legitimiately "holy shit what did they do to this spec"
one button does like 19 things automagically and you just push your buttons 1-2-3 as they're avialable
Yeah I hate ret
I cannot stand it
Honestly when they add a spell to warriors where you run around on a horse and use spells simultaneously. I will forever quit this game
Our mobility is fine so they wont
u mean mage
My eyes bleed every time, unfortunately DKs and Rets are too good in m+ atm so I have to look at it constantly
i love ret lmao
A. I dont like fake melee specs
B. It has nothing really going on
C. As hroth said the bonus effects on evrey ability feels goofy
it do be cozy tho
It’s like a buy one get two for half price kinda playstyle
Like
it's giving ddr mat
I would rather play MM and kick my feet up
If thry gave paladin a second dps spec thats more complicated then ret
Id actually play it m. Ret as as an off spec sounds neat
Complicated and retail doesn’t work together, the only thing complicated is to keep track of all the ways to earn low ilvl gear 
actually, im gonna retract this
||DDR mats have 10 buttons, this is a disservice to the mats||

🤷♂️
I honestly think how easy wow is still severely overblown
Ok real talk which bosses are doable in mythic pugs EU to get vault slots
I need some mythic trinkets for ascended voidcores
Yeah it looks rough in aoe
First two in spire maybe chim
Chim is a lot of coordination
i mean yea its crazy easy and probably overtuned af but it feels satisfying to play when u hit buttons
and its easy af
and i can clutch up if needed
I should also add
Specifically intermission
i mean multipl ppl have said here slayer looks worse than it actually plays and from my experience its been true.
im sure top players would definitely play true to that % diff tho
Prob gonna have to bite the bullet and keep applying to voidspire and pray for atleast 1 kill, Chim seems to rng imo (with pugs atleast)
I play slayer in keys atm so I get it
I swapped back to col for a couple keys and fuck me blind.. I missed slayer so bad hahaha
Is arms getting nerfed on tuesday? (M+ specific)
no
arms biggest weakness is getting buffed on tuesday(st)
arms bingchilling
will it have amazing st? nah but less bad
So I run battlelord to fish for MS procs cause I like pressing buttons, but it means I barely press slam. This slam deep wounds buff is prejudiced against us battlelord enjoyers and I refuse to stand for it.
I've assumed losing reap from MS would be higher loss than DW gain from slam crits and slightly stronger bladeystormy
Heroic Strike is just Slam with sunglasses on, so as long as you're following priority you're fine
I have less presses of OG slam so less deep wounds procs >:((((
i wouldn't worry about it too much ¯_(ツ)_/¯
What if we made mortal strike apply double deep wounds instead.
I see nothing wrong with it
What if we made execute crits apply double woons
Oh yeah that too
our bleeds aren't really that strong to begin with so im not sure doubling would really do all that much
may as well just double our auto attack damage at that point
I cannot overstate here, how much that i am taking the piss
or make ravager apply it
tbh I think the fact that they removed cleave woons should make them buff bleeds, would balance colo vs slayer st too
Isn't colossus arms st going to change slightly with the patch?
buffed
Hey 🙂
I have a question regarding patch 12.0.5. Is the warrior class generally getting a buff or a nerf? I'm having trouble understanding; is it a multi-target nerf and a single-target buff?
Arms: Generally just better overall, small aoe nerf for a small ST buff
Fury: Thane is pretty much unchanged, slayer is getting a ST nerf for a AOE buff but afaik still worse then Thane in AOE. (Not certain on fury)
Protection: Colossus Buffed but probably still worse then Thane
overall not too crazy, shouldnt shake the meta up at all really
Thank for answer ❤️
yeah, it's just a normal spell. The Dodge requirement was removed many many years ago
Overpower gets 2 stacks, and every time you use a spell that costs rage it has a 30% chance to give you a stack back.
ty
of course!
anyone has the tables showing the damage difference with the new changes in 12.0.5?
Hi, I got the ring set from Nexus Point Xenas on hero and the Eternal Voidsong Chain. My Sims say that the Voidclaw Gloves from Seat will be a big upgrade. The sim says that simming with the shadow procs might be innaccurate though . Should I go for the shadow damage bonusses or should I ignore them
I think the gloves are like 500(?) dps total over a 5 min fight depending on your uptime
Sometimes I wonder if it's better to have them vs just wearing proper stated gloves, I honestly think proper stats might be better just because you will never get perfect uptime but idk
I'd personally just ignore shadow DMG bonuses, it's probably negligible
how much DPS should I be doing on pure ST with Arms Slayer?
What's ya sim say? Try to be within 10% of it
Hello all, i was fury for most of the beginning like everyone else, I crafted my 2h Polearm at R5 with Haste mastery like I was suppose to do, Now I've gone Arms, is it worth the recraft if my wrists/back are both hero and crit/haste. I was just debating recrafting another R5 Polearm vs another slot (274 I lv) but with Crist/Haste instead of its current (Mastery/Haste) thanks!
I mean recrafting is super cheap, doesn't need sparks or none
my single target is sitting at 35k DPS, simc says my DPS should sit at 57k, but idk if it simulates ST, Multitarget and whatever
The sim naturally assumes single target unless you select multitarget
It also assumes raid buffs and consumes
ah ok
I was just hitting the tgt dummy without any buffs
but still, I feel like Im missing something
Run the sim again after disabling the raid buffs and consumes. Its a very large part of your dps. I sim over 20k difference with vs without
checking again!
Maybe my DPS aint so bad after all
oh wow, Im just 2k off sim
Im better than I expected
those 2k DPS is probably just the lower uptime of deep wounds and me not pressing some CDs as quick as I should
I feel like my slayer ST damage is beyond abysmal too, I do good overall cos AoE is strong, even though it feels like Slayer may be dead next patch
Cleave is much stronger on Colossus, but either works
yeah but reap the storm gets murdered next patch
i dont understand how slayer can stay competetive
I havent checked the tuning for next reset
reap is kinda fine
no more ms/exec
Exe is outdated
kinda fine? :p
Exe's full functionality was restored
Reap is not bad
Read this
the tuning from what Ive seen is a net buff
Tuning is absoutlely a net buff
Slayer aoe takes a small enrf
But reap is not getting gutted
this iis a bufff?
A net buff yes
we must be reading the notes differently
Read waht I said
Slayer aoe takes a small nerf
Colo gets a HUGE buff
Both specs get significant ST imporvements
thank you
But like slayer loosing aoe (even if it is odd and I think reap SHOULD be tuned higher to compensate for no longer being on MS and thus a bit less frequent) is fine
Like slayer is behind, yes, but it's a lot more pug friendly
Slayer on paper looks worse then it is in actual content
then u got things like 2 braincells ret paladins
warr is fine
I mean, compared to Arms a month ago we are in a very good place lmao
Im prolly having skill issues on warr for sure, but bit sadened about the slayer nerf, will just have to play colossus more and get used to it
Compared to arms a month ago, arms shouldnt have shipped
Thats like saying we onyl got 2 scoops of shit on our icecream isntead of three, drastic improvements 😛
FDK is kinda fucked
But yeah, I donno, I prolly just cant play it
both an still do quite well tbh, just gear and play what you want to tbh
I'mma be honest man
did they remove the Execute proc reap?
comparison is the thief of joy
Yes
means wowhead has outdated post
I just say look at the #updates-midnight
but looking at that diagram/picture/whatever, is a bit depressing still
Slayer is just more fun than colossus, and blizzard hates when you have fun except if you re demo or devourer
I main demo, cool to finally be not shit
I like both, but I'd rather play colo because slayer's RNG is pain
I mean also
Colo has several dungeons where it's like
One of the best specs for certain fights
Im trying to find a fourth char, I dotn want to level a paladin and play ret, but UHDK seems doodoo and arms issuper niceto play, but it feels so ass to do nonexistant damage compared to my other classes
I for some reason just cant do good damage as UHDK, it is weird
remove the demolish self stun and i would like it a bit more
Picked it up now again, but it just feels weak
so, so waek, and yhes >I know it was way, way worse
dfemolish is an amazingly looking skill tho
Yeah
I just wish the range of the visual reflected it's current actual range that's been buffed like 3 times
i mean demolish should feel like rampage feels, just be able to move while doing it and dont have a cast bar
It's kinda awkward hitting things that are like 3 yrds out of the visual
again
I still think it's overblown
Also very funny you say like rampage
because that also gets cancelled if the target goes out of range (or used to at least)
yeah it was originally communicated as being "like Fists of Fury", but then they turned it into the Fyralath weapon on-use (and made it AoE)
yeah hate that too there but at least you can kinda follow it with normal movement
Idk I jsut
don't feel like I run into situations wehere I WILL die or take unnessisary damage in demo that often
Espically if you have a haste proc or good haste in general, let alone talk about lust...existing
how much worse is slayer in m+ vs colossus
but it's possible and that just stinks imo
