can anyone give me an idea for how much dps i should be doing at 278 ilvl? i ran simcraft and i got 61k dps... i just switched from prot warrior so my gear is not optimal at all but was jw. doing good in +12's in terms of dps but idk what benchmark should be

radiant trail
still cove
#

my single target damage is dooogshieet

#

fair enough

radiant trail
#

If your collosus you do tank damage single target, but AoE you should be super blasting

still cove
#

yes, colo

#

makes sense then!

frail hearth
#

how is slayer in M+?

radiant trail
#

Its fine, are you pushing keys or doing weeklies?

still cove
#

pushing keys, whats better?

frail hearth
#

yeah i got a team im pushing with '

radiant trail
#

Collo is better

still cove
#

colo i assume

urban fjord
#

confirm still no bugfix for cleave deepwounds

frail hearth
#

so the ST it brings is not enough to justify?

radiant trail
#

I mean thats up to you and your group

nova marsh
#

I JUST

radiant trail
#

If your giga blasting AoE and they have a good balance between AoE and ST its fine right

nova marsh
#

Had demo hit 1 mill crit on Seat L'Ura!

frail hearth
#

i dont undertand why not just buffing demolish on ST and MS to hit 30% more. its odd when these other classes are just blasting st

nova marsh
#

At this point it's just blizzard's stupid tradition

halcyon flame
#

I agree. Ive been running SR all evening and something feels so bad. I cant pinpoint it but something is off

frail hearth
#

SR?

halcyon flame
#

skyreach

frail hearth
#

ahh

nova marsh
#

I mean yes something is

#

We're suppose to have constant uptime on DW on 2 targets in aoe

#

and we do not

keen siren
#

I feel like slayer is lacking in aoe dmg

#

Any1 feel this way too

nova marsh
#

that's just the reap nerf tbh

minor gust
#

It's fine. Would say it's pretty mid dmg wise. Enough if you are good you are still gonna own, but some of the broken specs in the hands of a good player is still gonna mog on your ass.

keen siren
#

Yeah it is mid aoe dmg tbh and ok st

pulsar frost
keen siren
#

It’s nothing impressive idk

frail hearth
#

i see

#

my Colo is nice dmg

keen siren
#

Maybe I just switch colo

nova marsh
#

Idk if I get one

#

ALSO THANK GOD

minor gust
#

Play what you like. I have yet to do a key where I felt like my dmg was bad or trolling as slayer. @keen siren

nova marsh
#

Frozen they fixed trick

minor gust
#

Plz tell me I don't see the cloud anymore

nova marsh
#

Ye

#

It's only visible to the rogue now

minor gust
#

Perfect

#

Now only the rogues can suffer not seeing shit under them

pulsar frost
#

unfort

nova marsh
#

Now rogues can be forced to turn down their particle density

pulsar frost
#

will ask again in 2 hours

minor gust
#

Real question is tonights dinner a Taco Bell or Wendy's night

pulsar frost
#

wendys always better

minor gust
#

Wendy's it is

granite swift
summer shore
#

I miss double mortal strike conduit

sudden owl
#

oh my god the rogue bug got fixed before our bug

#

why did you not put it in the bug wowhead article

surreal spade
#

slayer is dead ?

summer shore
#

Pretty much..

uneven minnow
#

anyone can give me tldr? 😛

minor gust
proud heath
#

Is the deep wounds from FoB still bugged?

granite swift
nova marsh
#

Yeah

#

Big rip

hybrid needle
gusty nymph
#

Did they send the bonus roll on us servers yet?

rose matrix
#

Wait

#

Everything got fixed and not us?

shy cairn
#

are you surprised?

bleak iris
#

fix what ?

blissful tinsel
#

Managed to fix everything except warrior

#

Crazy

sudden owl
#

well our wowhead guy did not put it in any of the posts

#

so not surprising

rose matrix
#

I mean this is just a joke

bleak iris
#

put what we have a bug ?

strange comet
uneven minnow
vast hinge
#

Why can’t we get cleave deep wounds back

#

I enjoyed being perma rage capped

uneven minnow
#

3rd so far in heroic tonight (2nd if you dont count our unholy dk getting triple PI'd every fight)

sacred summit
#

what advantage does arms have over fury in pure st for mythic progging

vast helm
#

fix us

keen siren
#

What’s wrong with warrior rn

#

What’s bugged?

uneven minnow
#

not top of the meter

#

by 50%

#

blizz please fix

rose matrix
#

Jokes on us

#

It was intentional

vast helm
#

fix us and give some love to us

bleak arrow
elder path
#

also no audio on spell hits

sacred summit
#

so i went arms today for our chim kill and went pure ST and just stuck to boss but man my parse is so shit

minor gust
sacred summit
#

gonna see how it feels doing the same with nexus king tmr

sacred summit
bleak arrow
#

I do like when adds come I don’t have to count to 4

sacred summit
#

with tankiness is it colo > fury > slayer arms?

minor gust
#

no arms is not anywhere near as tanky as fury

sacred summit
#

oh i thought colo arms was very tanky with 2 defensives and dr when demolishing

minor gust
#

yeah colo arms is tanky

#

much tankier than slayer but still not on the level of fury

sacred summit
#

i wonder if being able to ss executes off adds onto boss on chim or vorasius makes up for the 4k dps

minor gust
#

if you can do it consistently throughout the fight yes

sacred summit
#

eh on either fight its kinda sporadic not a consistent thing

#

someone here also said that arms does more execute damage which is more meaningful for prog

minor gust
#

I actually havent done any execute sims lately

#

let me see

pulsar frost
#

@nova marsh is it now

nova marsh
#

I'm not even on wow keks

minor gust
sudden owl
#

didn't the fervor of battle slam use to have an animation

#

or am i high

storm canopy
#

everyone got fixed but warrior lol

drifting sparrow
#

ok so I tried simming for trinkets, and between puzzle box, gaze, heart, and plume, gaze only pulls ahead at 10 target slayer (But who would roll slayer at 10 targets?) otherwise plume and heart are always BiS am I doing something wrong?

vapid spire
#

Where blue text

sacred summit
#

how is arms higher in boss dmg on all the bosses than fury i dont get it

dire hinge
rose matrix
#

I mean it's small compared to Unholy

#

But it's a pretty big loss

#

No reason it shouldn't have been fixed

mystic summit
#

do u only get a bonus roll refund if u got a duplicate? or is blizz being as random with them as usual

maiden hull
#

hello all, just recently swapped to arms from fury, trying it out for a bit, what hero tree is best for raid? or does it depend on the fight? talking mostly about voidspire

upper sparrow
bleak jasper
#

oh lmao

maiden hull
dire hinge
#

if you pick Arms + Difficulty + Specific Boss you get a heatmap of the talents people take in the top 100

elder path
midnight root
shy cairn
#

i dont know how you guys are playing this spec. literal tank damage in ST

old urchin
#

When I press cleave it makes it all feel better

shy cairn
#

cant cleave that fat bird

#

in algether

dire hinge
#

could for a little bit (got patched)

urban fjord
dire hinge
#

as a funnel class it's to be expected though. Pure single target isn't our forte. Our job is to get the dungeon party to the next pack as soon as possible

elder path
hushed pine
#

Are we Slayer or Colo for m+

dire hinge
#

either one, but colossus does a bit more now

#

if you really dislike it slayer can still do fine

hushed pine
#

Gave it a try after the "buffs" in AA 13, felt weaker somehow

dire hinge
#

yeah AA has a lot of pure single target fights, but also some huge packs. Lots of variance with how your tank pulls

rose matrix
#

Slayer feels pretty terrible with the AoE hit it took along with the bug

#

Idk in what world you'd take it over Colossus right now

reef birch
#

I just found out arms have to manually press Rend

#

how do you live like this

dire hinge
#

pretty easily, you only care about it in AoE and cast it once every 15 seconds

rose matrix
#

In St too

#

If you're colossus

urban fjord
#

yeah its really cool to hit a button that applies a dot that doesnt interact with your kit at all every 15 seconds

reef birch
#

i honesly cant tell if that was sarcastic

urban fjord
#

its big sarcasm

dire hinge
#

lol

#

was pretty silly for Fury there for a while

hushed pine
hybrid needle
#

deep wounds below rend just feels weird

hushed pine
#

But rn it feels like we're in a weird spot

rose matrix
#

This patch is just dogshit

#

And all the changes make Arms feel worse imo

#

And we're bugged

wind hatch
#

idk for me it feels great

#

our st in keys is way better

hybrid needle
#

Its not like we deal no damage anymore

#

so lets pray for a fix and keep pushing

rose matrix
#

Ye but it feels worse to play

urban fjord
#

what kind of meters are you seeing where ST is WAY better

wind hatch
#

i'd argue otherwise

hushed pine
#

Gonna give Slayer another go in m+

wind hatch
rose matrix
#

You think smashing Slam all day in st is better?

wind hatch
#

that's big

dire hinge
#

arms always feels bad to play, it just comes in different flavors every season ¯_(ツ)_/¯

hushed pine
#

Otherwise just sticking to Colo lmao

rose matrix
wind hatch
#

did you like that more?

urban fjord
#

8% of nothing is still nothing

dire hinge
#

It's always like driving a manual-transmission car without any training.
You eventually figure it out, but man it makes no sense starting out

rose matrix
#

I honestly did prefer actually using other abilities in ST yes

hybrid needle
#

give me back my mortal wounds

minor gust
urban fjord
#

looking at logs of people timing 20s on ST bosses they're doing like 55-60k

wind hatch
urban fjord
#

wheres the buff at

minor gust
#

Slayer a fun time when you see your Bladestorm is top dmg at the end of a key

rose matrix
#

Either way as long as Dev and Unholy are good and get bug fixes instantly Blizzard is all good

hybrid needle
minor gust
rose matrix
#

Slayer is pretty bad compared to Colossus that's the thing

#

Only dungeon you can make an argument for is AA

minor gust
#

not really

#

its worse yeah

hushed pine
#

No hate to Colo at all, I like it. I just prefer Slayer due to its ST

minor gust
#

but pretty bad is a bit of an overstatement

hybrid needle
#

I dont know who needs to hear this. But slayer arms is still better than fury thane

rose matrix
#

Yep

#

There is a reason we all swapped to Arms

#

It wasn't because Fury was pumping

shy cairn
#

is it though

dire hinge
#

yeah... swapped to Arms... eyes3

hybrid needle
#

i legit swapped because my damage was depressing

reef birch
#

Im coming off WW s2 arms and the gameplay feel is flipped 180

#

should i stick to fury for keys?

rose matrix
#

I am only annoyed with the class becasue of how other specs are being tuned

#

It makes no sense to me

#

Why do we have to tradeoff ST and AoE for buffs to either when specs like Unholy and Dev are getting massive buffs

urban fjord
#

anything about funnel, or st buffs is all cope for warrior believers

#

you are correct

#

the balance tuning is dogshit

dire hinge
#

i mean arms is one of the few specs that has more buttons now than TWW, and we have a long APL just to do tank damage in M+ Bosses. It's warranted to feel weird about it.

rose matrix
#

Now we are bugged and are going to be fixed after the OP classes get fixed

plain solstice
dire hinge
#

"bugged", it really doesn't impact our dps that much tbh

#

yeah it's not working, but like, we're not screwed over it

rose matrix
#

It's a pretty big hit at a very important damage profile

urban fjord
#

^^^^
people waiting for bugfixes are still going to be sad after it

wind hatch
urban fjord
rose matrix
#

Every warrior player knew we weren't going to get fixed with everything else

#

As soon as the post came out about fixes I was expecting warrior to not even be there

#

This class is basically a meme

dire hinge
#

we reported it, but it's genuinely not as impactful as say, Unholy. You're welcome to complain, but there's much larger fish to fry for other spec bugs at the moment. They'll get to our single, small bug when they can, then probably fix the other bug that actually improves our dps (free cleave) ¯_(ツ)_/¯

urban fjord
#

you can pull critcakes logs on ST after the "buff" this week and see him doing 50-60k on pure ST bosses you cant pull cleave onto

rose matrix
#

No but surely it makes sense to have really good AoE and bad ST. There isn't any specs that do both really well

urban fjord
#

every meta spec does both well wdym

dire hinge
#

yeah that's actually pretty common...

rose matrix
#

It was sarcasm

#

That's the entire point

urban fjord
#

sorry ive gotten so used to the heinous coping in here

#

thats my bad

dire hinge
#

nah, it melds together with the other baseless complaints pretty smoothly 😂

minor gust
#

the main tilter about this is arms has had this problem since DF talents came out

#

we have always had to choose between ST and AOE since the talents came out

urban fjord
#

if arms was like top 3 AOE in the game with piss ST it would be fine

rose matrix
urban fjord
#

but not having insane AOE is not worth bringing you if youre an actual liability on bosses

rose matrix
#

I get there isn't anything we can do about it but Warrior high key gets shit on regularly in this way

minor gust
#

stop playing this class

#

literally only thing u can do

urban fjord
#

gotta reroll dk or dev dh like everyone else

wet scroll
#

Whats the fastest way to get hero crests?

rose matrix
#

They are fixing how many bugs on Unholy so it can't start doing the most damage again and they can't fix one bug for us?

urban fjord
#

need to shutdown the discord

dire hinge
urban fjord
#

they placated the ret paladins

rose matrix
minor gust
#

I mean

urban fjord
#

i really enjoyed fury slayer in TWW can i have that back

minor gust
#

warrior bugs are very commonly fixed

#

many specs have bugs for years

dire hinge
#

you know what, you're right, we need to just bootstrap ourselves to fix our class design keks

#

it's the people who are at fault

minor gust
#

you just need to relax a bit

rose matrix
#

That's what doesn't make sense to me

dire hinge
#

what are you talking about

urban fjord
#

best bet is to pray for a strong tierset next season that will fix it

dire hinge
#

i mean this endearingly and patiently

#

literally what are you on about

rose matrix
dire hinge
#

yeah, they put out a blue post earlier this week saying they're addressing the most critical bugs first?

wind hatch
dire hinge
#

Arms' bug is like water under the bridge

wind hatch
#

im not trying to say that the st buff is enough or anything

dark onyx
#

Wait, CS resetting Cleave is a bug and not QoL?

#

IF so thats pretty funny

dire hinge
minor gust
#

good bug

robust cypress
#

Wait what's bugged about arms again?

dark onyx
#

Not complaining tho lol

dark onyx
#

Smooths out the rotation just a small amounts, feels good

dire hinge
urban fjord
#

i just want fob animation back

robust cypress
#

why is heroic strike a jump animation instead of a cool overhead strike

#

like condemn

dire hinge
#

i believe it's just our old CS animation

wind hatch
rose matrix
#

I am only confused looking at the post how half of the bug fixes are that much more important than ours

dire hinge
#

talk to blizzard, idk man ¯_(ツ)_/¯

minor gust
#

do you know every bug right now?

dark onyx
#

I have 39% crit, think I need more? 🙂

dire hinge
#

dont come after us about it though, we literally have no sway over such things.

urban fjord
#

warrior is just not high prio for them with them reworking specs over and over

slow saddle
#

Nonono wait

#

So every1 got fixxed

#

We got shafted

#

Gg

rose matrix
minor gust
#

not everyone no theres still bugs

slow saddle
#

Which other doomed class

minor gust
#

I mean UHDK still has a bug xD

slow saddle
#

Tbf dks were crying and basicøy shutdown discord

dire hinge
slow saddle
reef birch
#

cursed

rose matrix
#

They seem to have it right over there

dire hinge
#

may i never play a pet spec again critcake

maiden apex
#

We still have the slam/deepwounds bug?

balmy kindle
#

yes

maiden apex
#

That pretty significant st dps loss. Hope they fix it soon

minor gust
#

Slam and deep wounds is working fine. Its only the slams that specifically come from Fervor of battle are the ones not applying DW

stable fiber
#

but i know what u mean

#

i kinda wanna see how big of a loss it is in like a paladins encounter

minor gust
#

probably not too bad due to how much of it ends up being 2T

stable fiber
#

its a shame we dont have any working logs, i want to see how much deep wounds actually goes up

#

seems like the % dmg done from deep wounds hasnt changed much from pre .5 to .5, so heroic striking and slamming without fob makes up for a decent amount of the damage lost from no cleave deep wounds

#

id imagine it would go up a ton with fob deep wounds

elder zealot
#

Just checking, are you all also having sounds effect issues with your abilities?

scarlet garnet
#

Do i save my refunded rolls or do i just send them in pit, the only bad drop i could get is the ring (cuz ive got it) or the cloak. thoughts?

elder zealot
#

Yes actually

cosmic pecan
#

Is there a trick with demolish like a way you have to angle it to hit all the mobs

scarlet garnet
slow saddle
#

Dreadnaught

#

Ideally in a line🥰

elder zealot
#

Wow are you serious Dreamtime? It's like a race and gender specific issue?

scarlet garnet
slow saddle
#

If u watch the best warriors, u c their tanks stack shit properøy

scarlet garnet
pulsar frost
#

Hm

scarlet garnet
elder zealot
#

LOL wow what bad luck, it's like washing your car and then it raining the next day

#

AKA you caused this bug for us all 😠

scarlet garnet
#

theyve gotta fix it someday right

#

lmao

stoic oriole
slow saddle
#

Lel just watched 21 aa with meta comp

#

Y i dont c phts comp competin

#

The st dmg is just mad

chilly wind
#

man after a few days of coming back to arms i gotta admit that I am starting to love demolish. spec feels kinda heavy hitting again

slow saddle
#

Demo should do more dmg

#

But it feels good coz u are rooted and swings look heavy

chilly wind
#

also the adrenalin rush when you start to demolish and some puddles spawn under you

#

and you barely make it out

slow saddle
#

U can leap out though

#

And still swing last swing

#

But arms and fury desp needs a st buff

chilly wind
#

yeah, st is kinda clunky, especially without shaman

cosmic pecan
#

@slow saddle so you don’t want anything behind you than ?

hybrid needle
#

give col mehr rage and itll be fiiiine

flat willow
#

with charge weaving and a shaman, you have rage

#

st still is very bad

#

reverting the mortal strike nerf they did for fun last patch would be a good first step

lucid niche
#

Bonus rolling on mythic chimmy getting nothing and getting them back to try my luck in pit!

storm canopy
lucid niche
#

With that said, Next week do I have a chance of getting the same item from chim as this week?

misty bridge
#

They’ve already refunded them?

buoyant cargo
soft venture
#

do we ever think they bring slayer back for m+? I feel like it was only around for a few weeks..

twilit hemlock
#

Probably a dumb question. In execute are we only using MS with 2 stacks of EP?

twilit hemlock
#

Thank you!

soft venture
twilit hemlock
#

I read that. I just wanted to make sure that is the only time we are pressing MS. I got some contradicting info and wanted confirmation from the warrior brains.

radiant moon
#

we no brain

#

we zugzug

misty bridge
#

back to the pitt gamba

radiant moon
urban fjord
#

i only got 1 voidcore refunded

#

even though i sent both

#

so idk

keen siren
#

I like the new heroic strike animation I think it looks cool

#

I think it’s weird though it doesn’t do the animation when u use cleave and consume the heroic strike proc

#

It’s the cs animation from legion isn’t it?

safe island
#

BUG NOT FIXED YET?

#

I LOST TONES OF DAMAGE BECAUSE OF BUG

stable fiber
#

but not fixed

untold pewter
urban fjord
#

i sent both within 20 min of the server opening on patch day

untold pewter
#

No clue then
Maybe send a ticket

urban fjord
#

like maybe WR fast on how fast i sent them

#

idk if its worth pushing it since ill just get AI responses and then a too bad response from a GM

#

but i sure wouldve liked to roll PoS twice this week

#

the one i got was cape xd

summer shore
#

even with st focused build, my st is garbage in keys

#

-.-

untold pewter
#

Well I didn't even get the chance to log in this week yet until today so no beta test rewards for me

untold pewter
wind hatch
#

yep that's just how it is unfortunately

summer shore
#

even gave up cleave damage but still sucks

#

lol

safe island
stable fiber
#

everyone else is playing with the bug also...

#

but true

#

u 99 there if its not bugged

safe island
#

anyway, i heard unholy dk got their bug fixed

#

unfair dk

hybrid needle
#

Even more reasons to roll dk keks

stable fiber
#

that spec like wasnt playable in raid with that bug so idk

buoyant barn
#

Hi, how is my sim so low??

stable fiber
flat willow
#

i would raid buffs but hoyl fucking shit 44k

#

sorry I've been stun locked irl

stable fiber
#

that is what a 0 raid buffed colossus aoe build looks like yeah

buoyant barn
#

it is so low when you get no buff?

stable fiber
#

well colossus is just normally very small

#

because the spec has extremely high funnel and sustained aoe

#

but yeah no buffs hurts

#

and no consums

#

consums is a lot of dps

#

and like bshout

flat willow
#

so basically you play one of the worst single target spec in the game, who benefits the most from buffs like shaman

#

but sheesh 44k

stable fiber
#

im sure a tank with no consums or raid buffs is like 30k

#

in a aoe build

buoyant barn
#

Oh ok

stable fiber
#

uhdk would still be like 70-80k though KEKW

#

actually uhdk sims are pretty ass without lust or potion

#

so

flat willow
#

unholy could just do their burst rotation and afk until next army

#

and still beat that

slow saddle
#

I say again

#

Why are blizzard so afraid to buff st of the worst specs

#

Like if gets a bit to much just reduce again

#

Like they promosed agressive tuning

#

We got opposite

summer shore
#

our st is heavily dependant on ms

stable fiber
#

the thing is fury aoe works a bit differently then a majority of other specs in the game

#

arms st could be changed a bit

summer shore
#

but they always nerf ms

slow saddle
#

I mean currently arms u could afford to buff op a bit

#

Which have low impact on aoe. As col

#

And higher as slayer who needs it

summer shore
#

imagine your strongest st button is 33000 damage

slow saddle
#

Theres deep wounds that could be buffed with very little cleave effecr on arms

stable fiber
#

i think mostly

#

your mortal strikes just need to hit harder

slow saddle
#

Fury u can afford 2 increase aa

stable fiber
#

that button is just a noodle unless you have every button buffing it

slow saddle
#

And rb again

limber dirge
#

Or just make MS / other abilities hit harder when they only hit one target, for quick tuning.

slow saddle
summer shore
#

demolish does double the damage when there is only one target

flat willow
#

even fury, they can do exactly like they did on outlaw, buff the single target and reduce the % of meat cleaver by a little bit to compensate if you don't wanna buff aoe

summer shore
#

would be a good start

slow saddle
#

No

safe island
#

can they still do more balance changes?

flat willow
#

but it's not like fury is overperforming in aoe either

#

don't they just spam thunderclap

slow saddle
#

Exactly

flat willow
#

not even affected by meat cleaver

slow saddle
#

Like warrior is undertuned

flat willow
#

ofc that's all pointless talk since fury just got nerfed

slow saddle
#

Arms lives by a 4p that unintentionally makes us funnel gods

stable fiber
flat willow
#

so maybe blizzard thinks fury is overperforming

#

and they'll get nerfed again

slow saddle
#

Its 4p that makes arms funnel great btw

#

And fob as well pfx

stable fiber
#

fob mainly

slow saddle
#

But havin 35% dmg up on mt for aaages carries

#

M8 the amp can be up almost to next cs with luck

summer shore
#

balance team is just clueless

slow saddle
#

Like the different of 10 sec uptime to 20 sec

#

Is insane

#

Prio target takes 35++% more dmg

stable fiber
#

the funnel does not exist at all without fob

slow saddle
#

Ofc ofc

flat willow
#

the question is, will devorer dh stay a hero spec for the entire expansion or just this patch

slow saddle
#

Will it though?

summer shore
#

new spec is naturally just gonna be op

stable fiber
#

i refuse to believe they keep it this way for longer then a week

slow saddle
#

They do not like nerfin specs in meta

#

Coz ppl pushin

stable fiber
#

ppl pushing rn is irrelevant

#

because our characters still have 9-10 more ilvl to get

vocal flicker
slow saddle
#

Like nerf dh and dk and they cant do a million dps

#

I dno man the tuning this season os atrocious, when it comes 2 st

#

Its a huge joke

#

Part of blame ofc are insane combat pots

stable fiber
#

colo st is also like arguably the best its ever been btw

#

which is funny to think about

slow saddle
#

I know

#

But thats also coz slayers st str is the weakest

#

Its ever been

#

Relative str 2 other classes

flat willow
#

and again, being the only class in the game where the hero specs are " ST vs aoe "

summer shore
#

slayer was doing just fine in keys until they kiled it

slow saddle
#

Also battlelord and fatality... needs 2 be

flat willow
#

imagine if unholy dk riders did 0 aoe

slow saddle
#

Close in talent tree

#

Killin me we cant have those 2 together easily

#

Should be same line

#

More ms = bigger exe later i mean how are they opposite sodea

stable fiber
slow saddle
#

Its synergy

stable fiber
#

like remove hero talents from the equation and just compare unholy dk and arms/fury warrior spec trees

slow saddle
#

Warrior designer of hero talents ruined us idc

stable fiber
#

unholy dk has SO SO SO much more power built into their spec tree its crazy

slow saddle
#

Lockin things to hero trees

flat willow
#

and it can change each patch

#

but warrior has slayer for raid and col for m+

#

and it would be more healthy if one was just better than the other each season

#

like every other spec in the game

slow saddle
#

I mean could just make col do 105k st

#

And it would be easy

stable fiber
#

colossus is playable on like 3 bosses in raid rn

#

actually think this is the most colossus has ever been played in raid

#

feel like this tier has by far the most variety arms has ever had

slow saddle
#

Ofc but its the lack of st thats gettin me

#

Unless major.mumbo jumbo tactics

wind hatch
#

u played colo 3/8 fights last tier

deft bluff
#

bliz doesnt love us do they

flat willow
#

I mean yeah, this tier has more aoe fights but that's not the problem

stable fiber
#

the st is yeah

flat willow
#

colossus isn't allowed to be good in st cuz that's slayer's niche

#

and slayer isn't allowed to be good in aoe cuz that's col

slow saddle
#

And slayer isnt good in st

flat willow
#

and that's just not how any other hero spec in the game is designed

#

the hero specs work against each other

slow saddle
#

Well niches are simple slayer should do the most in exexute

#

Profiles just slightly different

#

Take thane vs slaye on fury

#

Apart from rough tuning to st

#

Its actually very good

stable fiber
#

this still makes me giggle

slow saddle
#

Its still true r

flat willow
#

fighting for my damn life against the tank

daring prairie
#

Me going into bstance to mog the arms warrior

stable fiber
#

rider unholy oversims but its also still 50% higher then colo arms

#

which is insane

slow saddle
#

I mean does it oversim?

stable fiber
#

it does yes

slow saddle
#

I c em do insane dmg

flat willow
#

I mean, they do 50% more st than you

#

that's pretty insane already

slow saddle
#

And now most of the issues that were rough

#

Are gone

stable fiber
#

most like uhdk boss damage parses are not at 130 or like the 120k my dk sims at in shittier gear

slow saddle
#

Thats prob kill timers though

#

To an extend

stable fiber
#

should check some l'ura prog if guilds did it today

#

thats usually pretty telling

#

yo another arms warrior killed the boss

#

oh shit

slow saddle
#

Wouldnt break the system

flat willow
#

if only 2 arms warrior kill a boss, does that mean one parse is 100 and the other is 0

slow saddle
#

Unless it all came from lile demo buff🤣

slow saddle
#

No beloran😅

reef birch
#

is the nexus point ring set bonus better than having 2 rings with proper stats for m+

flat willow
#

🫡

stable fiber
#

i dont have beloren either

slow saddle
#

As is said

stable fiber
#

wcl been laggy

slow saddle
#

Only chance is

#

Demolish gettin pumped

#

And col gettin st

#

Imagine big duckin demos eggies

slow saddle
#

I hate that col cant be our st raid spec

#

Just 1 season

#

Raid made it, if we did dmg

flat willow
#

the ring set bonus is nice in single target but very negligible in aoe

#

so yeah probably equip 2 rings with best stats, unless you are annoyed when people flame you on bosses

#

cuz the tank is right next to you

stable fiber
#

execute is always very strong and colossus has a much weaker execute phase

#

they would have to implement execute into colossus somehow

flat willow
#

what I'd like is for slayer to be meta in m+ for a patch

#

just buff the sudden death proc rate by 50%

#

🧠

stable fiber
#

thats what i wanted for ST atleast

#

xdd

#

sd proc rate buff fixes slayer rage and bs cdr issues

#

while being a hefty st buff

limber dirge
#

Sudden death procs demolish on hit; problem solved.

reef birch
#

make massacre a passive

#

problem solved

stable fiber
#

what

#

not at all

#

lmao

#

it should be a passive yeah but it solves 0 problems

#

just frees up a talent point to put into some bullshit

reef birch
#

its a slight st boost that no one will notice or complain about

#

im trying to be realistic

flat willow
#

no but i would really like if critical thinking was back to being a passive

#

being allowed to press execute and not doing it, not fun

stable fiber
#

also idk if thats even that big of a st buff ngl

#

that point would go into what let me think

flat willow
#

well for colossus it wouldn't be a buff at all

#

since you don't press it

#

at least in the m+ build

stable fiber
#

yeah

flat willow
slow saddle
#

Buff ms 10%

stable fiber
#

oh literally the only point it can go into is brute force or efficiency and neither of those do like anything for st

slow saddle
#

Remove cleave from practiced strikes

#

Buff it to 25%

#

Consider buffin ep to a higher number

#

Give us more rage e play with

#

And col easily presses it

#

We would now but no rage

#

Move fatality so u take battelordnand fatslity 2gether

#

Or ideally make battlelord baseline

#

As it fr makes arms play bettrr

stable fiber
#

battlelord takes 3 points minimum

#

in its current spot

slow saddle
#

I know thats my point

#

Position is hoorid

stable fiber
#

you could switch master tactician and battle lord

#

idk that talent is literally never getting taken in any circumstance its such a shit talent

#

why did they make that

slow saddle
#

Yup

deft bluff
#

do logs for beloran count the 2nd phase dmg only?

slow saddle
#

Even at 10%

stable fiber
#

5% chance to trigger a OP

#

what a waste

slow saddle
#

We took at 10%

#

Coz op ducking truuucked

flat willow
#

now i'm not an expert on fury but

#

is it better or worse than this

#

feels like they pranked fury and arms with the last talent

limber dirge
#

Mortal wounds should just be baseline imo, and fatality should be where it sits

stable fiber
#

thats a pretty good talent in execute and for slayer

slow saddle
#

Yup

slow saddle
#

Talent is buffed by ms

#

But is placed in exe part

#

?-?

limber dirge
#

Giving us a reason to push execute is not a bad idea

#

espesically if rage gen is ever addressed

flat willow
#

yeah, surelly they will do that

limber dirge
#

but the whole convo has been theoretical; at best they do small % changes again

slow saddle
#

Ye ofc but like

#

Practiced strikes

#

Bad talent

#

Seperate clesve

#

For the love of god

#

Else cleave power slayer vs col will always be mad

stable fiber
#

still dont know why practiced strikes buffs whirlwind now

slow saddle
#

Just the on of many ks is enuff

stable fiber
#

like?

slow saddle
#

Same man same

flat willow
#

I thought it was to be a mirror for slayer to let them proc reap the storm with whirlwind

#

but then i checked

#

and they still can't

slow saddle
#

Also cleave baseline man and remove ww from arms

stable fiber
#

oh

#

i see what u mean now

flat willow
#

yeah, with the latest change to reap the storm I thought they'd add whirlwind to it, so slayer doesn't have a dead talent

#

but no

stable fiber
#

yeah yeah i get u

tame hill
#

Guys I dont know if this is already known but consuming 2 stacks of SD increase the cd of CS by 1 second as Colossus

#

So a bit like slayer bug

stable fiber
#

it might be a weird gcd thing

flat willow
#

oh i thought i was going insane

errant quail
#

Guys so im planning to switch from fury to arms

stable fiber
#

this isnt limited to arms only btw

errant quail
#

Any specific guides

stable fiber
#

it happens on other specs with main cds

errant quail
#

The 1 biz posted 2 weeks ago still applies?

stable fiber
#

felt it on arcane with touch of the magi

errant quail
#

Or changed abit cuz of 12.0.5

tame hill
#

How do you possible fuck up the code for this

stable fiber
#

so i dont think its a arms exclusive thing, they have fucked up a lot of shit

tame hill
#

I dont get it

stable fiber
#

idk

#

its been happening all tier long though

#

also not exclusive to the .5 patch

#

and hasnt been fixed yet

leaden garnet
lucid niche
leaden garnet
#

All that changes you use slam as the filler 100% of the time on ST (Execute with SD procs still for rage reasons)

stable fiber
#

the other annoying thing that happens is you lose a gcd sometimes for no reason

#

like you mortal strike, but the ms doesnt go on cd and doesnt actually happen, but you still incur a gcd

#

happens on uhdk and arcane as well

#

idk how that happens either but it does

errant quail

stable fiber
#

specs with high haste or high haste build into certain buttons

#

its super common on

#

DDH consume button ive felt it on like 5 times already and ive played the spec for 4 hours

astral talon
#

how good would be a warr in FULL crafted gear and nothing else?

stable fiber
astral talon
#

with

stable fiber
#

probably not the worst

astral talon
#

cuz im gearing my warr again, and i could deadass just get full crafted

stable fiber
#

its very flexible in stats cause you can just recraft

astral talon
#

and not bother with anything xD

#

oh wait

#

sparks limit

#

nvm,

stable fiber
#

grab the nexus point rings and a haste crit neck

#

you can craft like 4-5 pieces next week

#

depending on if you craft a weapon or not

flat willow
#

every item is bis except the cloak

stable fiber
#

what does cloak catalyst turn into

flat willow
#

so with this week coins + next week that's 4 bis items ( if you dodge the cloak heheh )

weak rain
#

Juggernaut lives!

#

It lives through overwhelmed now

lucid niche
#

exploit early and often boys, rolled chim got boots, they refunded and i rolled pit 2x ring and hammer

stable fiber
#

oh gross

#

cloak is 30% haste 70% vers

#

yeah thats banned from the catalyst

stable fiber
#

you can just craft a cloak anyways

#

slam big rerolls into pit of saron for gigabis items

#

that dungeon is crazy wow

#

6/8 pieces are crit haste

#

and 8/8 have crit on them

#

the cloak is a brick though

flat willow
#

they should do that more often

#

a dungeon that only loots haste/mastery

stable fiber
#

that kinda exists

flat willow
#

another that only loots crit/haste

stable fiber
#

magisters is very haste/mastery heavy for plate

#

not as crazy as pit tho

#

algethar has a lot of vers

#

maisara big on mastery

#

seat also crazy for vers

#

so many of our catalyst pieces are haste crit as well

flat willow
#

nothing feels better than having 0 vers on your gear during the first season of an expansion

olive topaz
#

Only thing they never seem to get right with dungeon loot pools is jewellery

#

We have good options for arms at least

#

But other classes I play there’s a criminal lack of necks

flat willow
#

or second season of war within, where every m+ trinket was complete garbage except the floodgate one

#

and you had to pray in delves

#

if you didn't raid

stable fiber
#

if you are a heavy mastery spec

#

there is not a single heavy mastery neck

#

i lied

#

btw

#

i just lied

olive topaz
#

Turbo boost gave everyone a free house of cards that season at least

stable fiber
#

march has a very heavy mastery neck

olive topaz
#

which was better than most mythic M+ trinkets

stable fiber
#

very wide variety of rings though is nice

#

not a single mastery neck in m+ pool is pretty awful though

nova briar
#

Do i always have to pair up demolish with CS in aoe?

stable fiber
#

2 haste vers necks

blissful tinsel
#

This whole refund rolls thing is fucking insane, people in my guild are getting refunded and they didn’t get dupes, so they’re ahead 2-3 items

#

Blizzard have cooked things so bad

stable fiber
#

so im glad i got mine back

blissful tinsel
#

Of course you are

#

But so many people got things they wanted

stable fiber
#

i can reroll mythic l'ura now though

#

which is a positive

#

if i hit the ring first try i will be so happy

#

that saves a INSANE amount of crests

#

and is also just bis forever

olive topaz
#

Wait so did they just hit everyone with two extra rolls?

#

Need to log on and check lol

blissful tinsel
#

No only people who sent pre-fix

#

So some people are way ahead now

olive topaz
#

Ah ok rip

blissful tinsel
#

It’s actually unbelievable haha

olive topaz
#

Tbf with crest cap they can’t really get ahead

#

But still really stupid

blissful tinsel
#

So then just give everyone extra rolls

fresh spire
#

ty blizzard for the extra rerolls

olive topaz
#

That’s a nice haul

fresh spire
#

rings not usable till i can upgrade it next week but bonker is great gladge

blissful tinsel
misty bridge
#

For me switching to the pit bonker was a 901 dps increase

olive topaz
fresh spire
#

need to craft cloak next week to get 2nd back

olive topaz
#

I just ended up using hero crests to fill in the other embellishment

#

So I could upgrade a weapon and trinket to max

fresh spire
#

tbf i probs could craft hc cloak with embel

olive topaz
#

That’s what I did with cloak yeah

#

since it’s a weak slot anyway

stable fiber
#

or is the chest bad

fresh spire
#

i got mythic chest already so kinda useless

stable fiber
#

figured

#

i got myth chest/myth shoulders my first set

fresh spire
#

tbf it could be useful for me in slayer as my haste is stupidly low

stable fiber
#

and was pissed

#

went 0/2 on rolls

fresh spire
#

ye its shit if you hit wrong stuff, same time next week walking in with 2 rolls and maybe vault roll your just going to hit only good stuff

#

other than cloak

stable fiber
#

i get world first midnight falls ring reroll though

#

🙏

spark mango
#

guys, do you use eagle eye enchant on your rings?

stable fiber
#

yes

fresh spire
#

likely yeh after buff

#

was already good before it was hotfixed

spark mango
#

btw, they gave me back 3 bonus rolls

fresh spire
#

:holy

#

they did reset the bonus rolls table so you might loot same items

stable fiber
fresh spire
#

but hopefully loot better instaed

spark mango
#

i did

stable fiber
#

thats crazy

#

dude is on week 3 while the rest of us are on week 2

#

smh

flat willow
#

actually since he got 6 coins, he is on week 3 while we are on week 1

spark mango
#

dude, crest cap exists, i dont think this is a bonus for me, i got 2 duplicate rings in the first run, if i get it again its kinda fucked

3 rolls on same ring

guys, i need your oppinion: i have heart of the ancient hunger/gaze/plume - which combinations should i use? currently i use heart+plume for m+ and heart+gaze for raiding. what would you suggest?

blissful tinsel
void junco
#

i did. it always tells me to use heart+plume, but i thought gaze is very good

flat willow
#

without simming i'll go ahead and say hunger+plume

#

i checked on my crystal ball

latent moss
#

gaze is good but not that good as arms

spark mango
#

what do you think, with my 3 first rolls i got chest and 2x ring from pit, now i got neck and back with my new rolls, should i roll on pit again or do antoher dungeon

tawny badger
#

did everyone get their voidcores? i havent gotten mine yet

full obsidian
#

I got 3 for some reason

tawny badger

guess i got scammed on 2 characters even tho i used mine when hte bug was a thing

love how dks cried for like a couple days and their shit got fixed quick

Got my cores

time to swing at vorasius trinket again

#

Why not? Helpful tool to see what people are using?

#

Literally just pulls data from WCL

untold pewter
#

Or at least I'd not recommend using archon as the primary source of data

Shit is bad

Use raider.io check the top players
And learn to dig through warcraftlogs to truly understand the whys and hows

Archon chews data indiscriminately and there's too much shit in the mix

#

Often times I've seen it recommend shit options

#

That were not being used by top performers because it was still pulling from "the majority"

blissful tinsel
#

How is it bad? It’s literally just pulling data from logs and presenting it in an easy to digest fashion, makes for an easy quick reference to see what people are doing

untold pewter
#

If you want to be part of the majority by all means go ahead

#

If you want to be closer to the top end you'd not be using that and would rather track the top players picks and go for deeper dives than "easy to digest" versions of the data you're looking for

#

Hypothetically, If 90% of the people use a certain talent but the remaining 10% are the top perfomers you'll br advised to join the 90% and not to learn from the top performers

In crude terms

blissful tinsel
#

Bro you are cooked I’m sorry, it literally just shows you the top log builds, gear by % used and even a heat map of talents to see how it varies

#

It’s up to you to interpret that information but it is definitely a helpful (quick) tool when combined with the other things at our disposal

untold pewter
#

Sure mate

#

I can't and won't stop you

deft bluff
#

Archon is just a data collection

#

To get the best builds/gear combos, just look at builds of top players

#

They usually cook smth up like the two swaps to make colo not have healer ST

untold pewter
#

That's what i tried to say

blissful tinsel
jovial hare
#

do people not understand how archon works

blissful tinsel
jovial hare
#

it literally shows THE best runs
like
what

untold trench
#

Well, it shows not the best run necessarily, it shows the best run in the set bracket. It is a popularity poll, not a "this is the best option, period"

It does not show Noxiv's 21 key, as an example, it shows a 20, as that is where the data is at. Yet Noxic dont have the same talent setup as that shown, meaning it doesnt show the "top key", just percieved for that poll section.

#

It is alright data, but it is just that, datapoints. It aint a "correct choice" guide. It is something to help you consider your options.

blissful tinsel
#

Yeh exactly, just another tool you can use and a quick one at that, which for the majority of players is helpful

#

It doesn’t just show the best run either it shows you a heat map of talents used which is actually helpful

untold trench
#

For the majority, the 90%, I would say they are better off not looking at data for what to do. Just play the game, do what they want, and have fun.

untold pewter
#

It's good for people that are just looking at general pointers

#

Not for people looking at min-maxing potential

blissful tinsel
#

I mean I play at the top end and I still use it as a quick reference, especially great for alts and just getting quick info on what people play per dungeon or boss

deft bluff
blissful tinsel
#

Archon is part of the wcl group

untold pewter
#

It is and the wcl group also shows things like "most picked talents by % on top 100" and fails in the exact same way because "most picked" doesn't always equal top performers

untold trench

The "we decide what is good gameplay" syndicate, removing adds and what not. All in the name of lining their pockets to make their archon tier VIPs happy Hydrate

Guys quick question, does sweeping strikes increase demolish dmg? Its aoe but it consumes sweeping strikes so im always wondering if I should prio having sweeping strikes before sending it or demolish before to save the stacks

flat willow
#

demolish is 3 strikes

deft bluff
#

what in gods name is WCL

#

oh

#

war craft logs

flat willow
#

the first 2 are single targets

deft bluff
#

yep im an ape

flat willow
#

and you should demolish after colossus smash so sweeping strike should be up anyway

abstract sphinx
#

After the changes im sending it on cd

#

Specially on aoe

#

U can always get it back for cs

odd coyote
#

Anyone knows why I can only do 3 cleaves during opener instead of 4?

abstract sphinx
#

On ST its kinda tricky

flat willow
#

they nerfed the talent

odd coyote
#

so its only 3 now?

flat willow
#

yes

odd coyote
#

ah ok ty

flat willow

althought for some reason cs resets the cd of cleave

#

so you can cleave cs cleave cleave cleave

How important is rend for col? Does it have any side effects that increases the dmg of your other stuff or is it more important for col than slayer just because it hits a bit higher?

Colo can be overwhelming at first

Hi guys, I am new to modern WoW and the crafting system has confused me a bit, I have 5 Sparks and am Ilvl 270, already have a 272 crafted weapon, should I just craft to replace Champion gear? can I upgrade my weapon further? Cheer's

jovial hare
#

do you have embellished stuff already?

cold garnet
#

I added them to my weapon, haven't crafted anything else I dont think

craft bracers w/ the threadlining wh recommends first, youll eventually want to move your other emb to the same as bracers on cloak

after that, yeah just replace stuff thats poorly itemized/you can't get if you want

Already has 276 wrists, rather craft cloak first
