Yeah

rose matrix
#

Yea

minor gust
#

Only MS if you have both

wary spindle
#

I could be wrong but from what I've seen when the gear is similar and the level of play also is similar it comes down to personnal preference, I don't think it matters that much unless its very high keys, but again both specs have players at 4k io so

rose matrix
#

With the execute m+ build wouldn't you just send with 2ep stacks?

minor gust
#

This is if you don't have MP talented so In raid you still play normal exe prio

minor gust
wary spindle
#

what are you reffering to when you say CS?

fervent cedar
#

Colossus smash

wary spindle
#

ah okay thank you

lost grove
#

this is my breakdown of the same boss, just gave this build a try for the first time

smoky kayak

Holy

languid torrent

why isnt mine showing

smoky kayak
#

actually get some p good damage in egg phase now

#

entire second egg was in execute

minor gust
#

We start belo prog this week

smoky kayak
#

he's so easy now, damage wise

minor gust
#

That's hype

smoky kayak

PLEASE show me on the front page man

# minor gust We start belo prog this week

Use this macro and press it whenever birds spawn - it will always and only taunt the first bird spawn (doesn't matter if its light or void /cast [@boss2,harm,exists] Taunt
have someone else use the same macro but change boss2 to boss3 and it will always and only taunt the second bird spawn

lost grove
smoky kayak
#

you'll still want ranged interrupts/dk grips, but it will help keep the birds in melee and on you, so you can keep them grouped

#

they don't do any real damage

minor gust
smoky kayak
#

you can, they do no actual melee dam

minor gust
#

Huge

smoky kayak
#

just have two melee dps responsible for taunting them in and keeping them together and you'll get way better cleave - it's also easier if the tanks aren't trying to taunt them and holding them in front of the boss (cause you don't wanna dance around the cone)

#

using that macro, you'll never have to worry about taunting the boss or which color you have/which bird you taunt

#

it doesn't matter what order they spawn in or which you taunt, you can swapt target to interrupt however you like, you'll just always taunt one and the other person will always taunt the other

solemn helm
#

would u say pit of saron is a slayer or collo mythic dungeon?

smoky kayak
#

Colossus for sure

rose matrix
#

Pit is Colossus best dungeon tbh

#

Love doing that place on Colossus

lost grove
#

I see, this is mine kinda similar i guess its not that far off

minor gust
languid torrent
#

i know it aint a rank 1

#

but i FINALLY did something good

#

holy

minor gust
#

holy

onyx rapids
#

are we going to slayer arms for mythic plus?! or you guys just testing?!

finite wasp
#

probably for some of the keys

umbral wagon
#

both are close enough to play what you want in m+

#

how the tank pulls packs honestly matters more than anything else when choosing between the two

vast helm
#

can heroic might track now?

elder sandal
#

did the update change anything major for mythic raids? any boss with a new best spec/talent?

mystic summit
#

slayer fuckin pumps

fringe leaf
pulsar frost
mystic summit
#

biz will own with a wooden stick so what

pulsar frost
#

ye but those dont exist

#

i cant just buy a cheap shaman

fringe leaf
#

yeah honestly slayer fury feels really good atm

minor gust
#

I need to do more no shaman key testing

fringe leaf
#

nox owning on it atm saying MT for more aoe pad dps and slayer for more boss/prio

minor gust
#

but likely just play normal blord slayer build if u dont have a shaman

fringe leaf
#

kinda nice situation we in honestly

pulsar frost
#

did 140k in nexus 12 feels eh

#

i should play a slayer fury key

minor gust
pulsar frost
#

its not the shame or fair

minor gust
pulsar frost
#

the one time i decide to try slayer fury a shaman shows up

hybrid needle
#

Youre already boosting 17s? Das crazy

minor gust
#

he died

#

a lot

#

like a silly goose

scenic nest
#

waddup friends

#

Just started playing warrior 2 weeks ago for the first time

rose matrix
#

The amount of Demo Warlocks that do ass damage is insane

pliant lantern
#

where can i see which builds to use on each boss?

hybrid needle
rose matrix
#

It's funny because both are pretty braindead

scenic nest
#

started a secondary to pick up a tank so our mythic+ group has some variation so we can all play different stuff. After the buffs is fury the move now for raid/mythic+ or are they more equal now?

hybrid needle
#

Well, i have to admit that warlock HAS to count minions and shit to actually deal huge damage, but even if you dont its still better than most yes

brazen plover
#

@minor gust have you done AA yet? first pull my damage was underwhelming with cleave/op spam into cleave/exe spam with that build. i could have not been doing it optimally tho

minor gust
#

First pull AA is gonna be meh for slayer

#

just how it goes

blissful tinsel
#

Probably claw it back over the rest of the dungeon though?

#

Keen to try AA as thane fury vs slarms

brazen plover
#

i've always like than fury in AA but i could be copin

#

the rest of the dungeon besides the giga pull at the start i was slapping for sure

minor gust
#

omg I just trolled and forgot to swap to prot before bonus rolling Chim

#

GG

#

got the onther trinket

Surely they will buff it one day

#

@stable fiber I think ima try this on Mythic dragons tonight slayer

minor gust

#

the duality of man

#

is so fucking cruel

stable fiber
#

barb

#

with fob

#

hmm actually

minor gust
#

its tough cant consistently get a lot of fobs off

stable fiber
#

sim the difference on 2t

#

then check 3t

minor gust
#

kk

stable fiber
#

crushing should be better on 2t, then on 3t i assume barb is either closer or better

dire hinge
minor gust
#

barb less on 2T xD

stable fiber
#

interesting

minor gust
#

I mean 3

stable fiber
#

what the fuck

#

?

#

wait no

#

this is normal

hollow wave
#

L

stable fiber
#

barb training then

#

i did not think barb > crushing ngl

#

its probably like that on st as well

minor gust
#

no the sims have barb worse on both 2t and 3t

languid torrent
#

i was not locked in

dire hinge
#

itttt happppens

stable fiber
#

aka slam damage

#

crushing force is the right talent

#

aka mortal strike damage

minor gust
#

yeah

#

wait

stable fiber
#

yeah and barb is better on both the sims

#

lol

minor gust
#

brain fart

languid torrent
minor gust
#

looking at it wrong

#

lmao

languid torrent
#

true highs and lows

minor gust
#

now I gotta check it on st lol

stable fiber
#

barb only 100 dps worse then crushing

#

on st

minor gust
#

MS weak gg!

#

MS buffs next

nova marsh
#

please

#

And well were at it

#

Can we stop randomly nerfing ms for no reason im not letting it go even if it was undone early

#

Guys would i be considered insane for saying i kinda miss df arms

rancid willow
#

Tried arms slayer in AA…hated it. I just can’t stand the spec. The skills make it Essentially feels like Warrior never progressed beyond shadowlands.

#

Def ST improvements though

nova marsh
rancid willow
#

Ha

nova marsh
#

#ReworkRage

#

Honestly like

rancid willow
#

At least demolish feels fun

nova marsh
#

I kinda hate the rng of arms

#

Slayer feels worse sometimes imo

rancid willow
#

Bladestorm is the lamest spell we’ve ever had

minor gust
stable fiber
#

gg

rancid willow
#

Sorry I’m bitter

stable fiber
#

idk how to do fallen king ngl

#

i just hit boss only

minor gust
#

pray ur tanks keep boss near orbs

nova marsh
nova marsh
#

Dunno about bs being lame thou

stable fiber
rancid willow
#

It’s underwhelming to press

nova marsh
#

Guys cmon

#

Df slam

#

THAT was the worst ability we ever had

rancid willow
#

Demolish I feel like I’m doing something major when i line it up

nova marsh
#

Remeber when we almost got a tier set to buff the shit out of it and it was still bad keks

upper sparrow
sacred raft
rancid willow
#

I always saw it as a mega AOE ability

stable fiber
#

they sweep

rancid willow
#

But it’s not

#

Was

nova marsh
#

honestly plz

stable fiber
nova marsh
stable fiber
#

barely

#

didnt fury take avatar over bladestorm as slayer

#

for a couple of weeks

#

xdd

nova marsh
#

For fury sure

#

For arms with current tier thou?

minor gust
#

only took BS to get buffed by like 40% for it to be good

nova marsh
#

Bs for arms honestly feels best its been to me

minor gust
#

think its gotten 2 20% buffs since launch

stable fiber
#

last too long

sacred raft
#

1 min baseline BS would feel amazing too

nova marsh
#

Im begging

stable fiber
#

would make our burst nasty

minor gust
# stable fiber last too long

you think I hold or send first BS. Im thinking send on pull and either rng the giga SD procs to get it back for first set or just use it for 2nd set

#

1st orb set usually gets insta deleted

nova marsh
minor gust
#

so im think dont bother with BS on that one

nova marsh
#

Would u have ava back up for that too

minor gust
#

I will just send WB and cleaves on 1st set

#

and any SD procs I get

nova marsh
stable fiber
#

@minor gust this is a crazy gap

#

slayer arms btw

#

5k boss dps gap

#

the boss damage is nasty asf

minor gust
#

owning that 12

#

thank god archi got the r1 on belo today so i dont feel guilty for not playing fury

#

I'm a complete bungus-head and I got haste/mastery instead of haste/crit on my crafted cloak. How expensive is it to recraft it for haste/crit?

#

(This is my first season dealing with modern WoW gearing)

pulsar frost
#

its half

#

price

#

well half the mats

leaden garnet
#

Does it still cost sparks?

pulsar frost
#

can click recraft and see

nova marsh
#

no

pulsar frost
#

no

leaden garnet
#

Solid, thanks

cosmic shale

#

PoS is a strongly Colo favoured key though

quiet bramble

deez mfs cant be fr, can't even let me play peacefully on my day off

nova marsh
#

RIP man

#

Just sleep in

#

🙂

rose matrix
#

Even in the normal Slayer build we still only sending MS in execute when we have CS and 2 stacks of EP

slow saddle
#

Ofc?

rose matrix
#

If you have Battelord you'd send during CS right

minor gust
#

but there slayer on dragons

#

it has the potential

#

I think you got this

nova marsh
#

Hey

#

Goo job bozo

minor gust
#

I fucked up in the later part of the fight also late grips from dks but prob was a benefit as slayer

steep walrus
#

Is there somewhere that says which key for which build?

nova marsh
viral fiber
#

Results are out?

#

Arms or Fury

steep walrus
#

Sorry whats aa

dark minnow

good comms from this discord

very helpful discord

nova marsh

ah yes the buffs have been live for just NA for 11 hours a concrete conensus must have been made

#

Ahh

#

Blasphemous and sarcastic is a pretty solid combo

#

Love that for you

steep walrus
nova marsh
#

I'm actually curious

#

To see how good slayer can be in lust pull of AA with buffs

gentle gyro
#

Are slayer buffs live?

stable fiber
viral fiber
#

Go2 we need result

west obsidian
#

wer playinf same talents

#

playing*

reef glade
#

with mastery flask and haste pot btw

gentle gyro
reef glade
#

because im a fat fucking chud and forgot to swap flask back after dabbling with salhadaar fury

stable fiber
#

better boss damage

#

good prio damage

#

battlelord bad talent imo

#

bait talent now that ms doesnt reap

gentle gyro
#

Massacre or Powerful momentum?

minor gust
stable fiber
reef glade
#

idk if i was even doing any new prio was just hittin those buttons

#

not like ur even allowed to 2 exe blank ms more than once every 30 seconds anyway

minor gust
reef glade
#

cringe low rage fuckin spec

slow saddle
#

Slayer could use another talent or 2 tbh

reef glade
#

give reck to cs or blow up

slow saddle
#

I mean we all agree our rage situation...

#

Makes us wanna rage

minor gust
slow saddle
#

No col dmg

reef glade
#

yea i wanted to try somethin like that for colo but losing battlelord which seemed like i had to do it made me just not want to

pulsar frost
#

it does the pump

reef glade
#

and ive accepted i will simply never hit adds for more than 1 cleave per set in my raid

slow saddle
#

But u took the 20% more cleave dmg

minor gust
#

yeah colo without blord is cringe and bad

reef glade
#

so just gave up on colo/adds and slayer felt cool

gentle gyro
#

Opportunist now better than Fierce Followthrough?

minor gust
gentle gyro
#

For m+

slow saddle
pulsar frost
#

i think im playing ST kinda wrong

#

when we get to exe are we just spamming exe then MS?

reef glade
#

dats what i did

#

woulda looked better if i had a real flask and pot maybe

slow saddle
#

We only killed dragons 1 time

reef glade
#

guild also deciding to not reclear paladins anymore so might as well blow it off smoove

slow saddle
#

And i died there...

rose matrix
#

Is it even worth to run the Slayer m+ build that still uses blord?

reef glade
#

never allowed to get fury weapon

slow saddle
#

No

slow saddle
#

S

minor gust
rose matrix
#

Kinda weird but execute pumping is fun

slow saddle
#

I mean its still cleave > op > ms

#

Id not say thats ignore🤣

rose matrix
#

Not ignore

#

But shit is practically a filler

slow saddle
#

In aoe thats fine

#

In st hmm

#

Its used on cd until execute
..

#

And only reason its not in exe. I mean rage issues galore

#

Also execute should prolong cs

west obsidian
#

can someone share talents for m+ rn after tuning

#

?

rose matrix
#

Imagine the numbers if execute extended CS right now

#

I think I'll probably just run Thane in place on Slarms tho

dense skiff
#

in execute I dont even use MS unless im in CS now right?

rose matrix
#

CS and 2 stack of EP

dense skiff
#

dang, MS gets no love

minor gust
abstract sphinx
#

Is the rotation prio getting switched up for slayer new build now?

rain cipher
#

Is there any point to continue playing Colossus Arms in keys instead of switching to Thane Fury?

#

Higher multi target and also strong in single target!

grim oasis
#

much better prio

rain cipher
grim oasis
#

idk why talk about other classes

nova marsh
#

I'd say play what u like

pulsar frost
#

@minor gust when in exe phase do you just like spam exe twice then MS?

pulsar frost
minor gust
#

only pressing MS with CS + x2EP stacks

nova marsh
#

I will probs try it on friday

pulsar frost
nova marsh
#

Cuz I'm being a heretic and taking a break rn. Friend needs a key thou

pulsar frost
#

also only CS?

#

that sounds wild

dense skiff
#

executioner precision

nova marsh
#

Damn

pulsar frost
#

ah

#

that sounds wack tho

#

so its just exe and op spam

#

till you have cs then 1 MS?

#

id like to think im doing this correctly

minor gust
#

yese exe op spam and when CS is up weave in MS on cd you can think of it like that

pulsar frost
dense skiff
#

the pain gives more rage dont worry

pulsar frost
#

WTB shaman cheap pls

molten roost
#

Is slayer back for dungeons or what?

minor gust
#

If you hate colo

nova marsh
#

Slayer back af

dense skiff
cedar cairn
#

love colo but hate boss fights with it

nova marsh

tbh

#

colo's ST is part of why I'd rather just GG go next till season 2

do our builds change in any way\

lunar idol
#

what are your choices gentleman for Slayer Keys ?

pulsar frost
nova marsh
#

To a degree

#

Like I think this dungeon rota actually slaps

#

...The classes are a massive pain point for me

pulsar frost
#

lol

nova marsh
#

...that and two characters to 3.4k sounds kinda ass

#

all 16s...twice

pulsar frost
#

16s not that bad

nova marsh
#

I imagine it's not

#

Just kinda burnt out ngl

gilded kraken
#

in those very sims you posted slayer fury is simming 60k higher than slayer arms in aoe and 5k more st, thats pretty enormous

pulsar frost
#

why burnt out bro

nova marsh
#

Feel like I went harder then I normally do

#

because

gilded kraken
#

its a lot better than arms rn

nova marsh
#

I'm usually a one trick

#

and this season I decided not to be

pulsar frost
#

just one trick warrior

#

ezpz

nova marsh
#

I did for many years actually

glass plank
#

same one trick warrior since i started wow lol

nova marsh
#

But I decided I wanted a change for midnight

pulsar frost
#

then theres no issue

#

ez pz

nova marsh
#

Honestly

viral fiber
#

Why we go night elf over dwarf

nova marsh
#

Might just one trick warrior

minor gust
nova marsh
viral fiber
#

Its not only bleed removal

#

What's the best place to snipe for a 2h myth weapon with the bonus roll?

nova marsh
#

And to that I say

#

Shadowmeld OP

granite swift
gilded kraken
#

because this season meld offers a lot more value

rain cipher
grim oasis
#

but then im playing fury

nova marsh
#

I can't read this ngl

granite swift
nova marsh
#

But like

#

I think arms is still quite fine

nova marsh
smoky kayak
#

despite being crit, pit weapon is still good for Fury once you get into the highest gear sets too, so it's easy spec swapping

#

just because you end up with so much haste/mastery that you want some crit anyway

gilded kraken
#

it is fine

#

but a 20% disparity between hero talents

#

is grim

#

to say the least

nova marsh
#

Yeah

thick hamlet
#

are the new fury AoE sims using rampaging ruin?

nova marsh
#

Our ST is kinda fucked

smoky kayak
gilded kraken
#

col and slayer arms in aoe

viral fiber
#

So slayer is good now or just average?

gilded kraken
#

i dont feel like any 2 hero talents should have a difference as big as 20% in any real world where blizz cares about balance

balmy kindle
smoky kayak
# gilded kraken col and slayer arms in aoe

I mean it's not really 30% though, right? You gotta remember that real content isn't sustaining constant uptime against 5 or 8 or however many targets from start to finish

smoky kayak
gilded kraken
#

in decent keys with how much devourer is seen and how much it benefits from never dropping combat it can get close to constant tbh

nova marsh
gilded kraken
#

even if devourer didnt exist, thats just a tangent tbh

nova marsh
#

I mean

#

That dosen't matter

gilded kraken
#

yeah it doesnt tbh its just a side note xd

nova marsh
#

tanks rarely want to drop combat even without devourer

gentle gyro
#

Slayer still feels miles behind in m+ damn

smoky kayak
viral fiber
grim oasis
#

feral was simming far and away the strongest st spec by miles during early expac launch

#

look how that panned out

gilded kraken
#

yeah but we aren't in early expac anymore are we

tame perch
#

To me just not doing tank damage on bosses is a huge + in general. That small ST buff for already decent arms was the right move

grim oasis
gilded kraken
#

no because there is none

calm hollow
#

holy bonus roll angle, wtf is this m+ loot keks

grim oasis
#

great

smoky kayak
#

fwiw, Archon has Colossus and Slayer ~20% apart, though that's also somewhat subject to bias since more top pushers play Colossus it's naturally going to have higher results

and with this week's buffs, that gap should close a little more

nova marsh
gilded kraken
#

yes but they're a very very solid starting point

nova marsh
#

Not disagreeing ther

gilded kraken
#

yes you can bring funnel to every single boss and you can make arms be pretty much as close to meta as arms as been since df

nova marsh
#

And I'm not disagreeing that colo needs actual ST

#

But I think dooming too much over sims is kinda silly.

smoky kayak
#

it might, but you need strengths and weaknesses too - if Colossus is just as high ST and higher MT than Slayer... why ever play Slayer?

gilded kraken
#

in the perfect world they'd be close enough to where you play what you prefer

smoky kayak
#

personally, I think both heroes are in a pretty solid state atm

gilded kraken
#

or maybe col has more funnel but slayer has more raw st

#

but they'd still compete realistically

nova marsh
#

But I also have to say that this feels like less like a weakness and more like getting shot in the knee in ST

gilded kraken
#

they are kinda but once you play around colossus even slightly it fucking skyrockets

#

ideally it wouldnt matter nearly as much as it does but it is what it is

#

maybe in the last titan part 69 we get some proper attention innit KEKW

smoky kayak
#

tbh I also kind of like that Colossus is the stronger multitarget build right now, since timing and landing Demolish is a bit harder than Bladestorm

nova marsh
#

In a way, colo needs to be stronger to justify it's existence

smoky kayak
#

I wouldn't want it to create a colossal gap, but it should be a little rewarding

gilded kraken
#

I don't mind col being stronger in mt scenarios, I mind it being so much stronger

gilded kraken
#

same as that stupid ass "hard classes should always be stronger" argument to me

nova marsh
#

...

smoky kayak
#

I guess it depends on what you consider "so much" because the practical numbers don't really make it seem that far ahead atm

nova marsh
#

Is that really a bad argument?

gilded kraken
#

it is

nova marsh
#

Genuine question

smoky kayak
nova marsh
#

Why would I play outlaw, a harder class then arms, for worse results

#

For example

gilded kraken
#

ok then everyone plays tww sub rogue and nothing else matters

#

because you like outlaw? xd

nova marsh
#

I mean fair point

#

And I do like outlaw

#

But from a pure performance angle

gilded kraken
#

from a pure perfomance angle you're not even playing a game at that point

maiden fern
#

Are we playing arms or fury now?

gilded kraken
#

why play anything thats not devourer/uh/aug then

#

things being balanced is what gives you at least a semblance of a choice innit

nova marsh
#

I mean yeah

gilded kraken
#

according to your tastes and such

nova marsh
#

This season's balance is fucked

balmy kindle
#

I just want Colo to Je playable in H raid like tww S3

gilded kraken
#

it's been much worse tbf i'm just ranting because it's been 4 seasons and slayer got to be good for like

balmy kindle
#

A 3-5% diff okayge

gilded kraken
#

1 week in s1

#

and 1 season as fury bc of tier set

#

but slayer arms was good for like 2 weeks and got gutted

#

im fucking sick of demolish idk xd

#

arms without bladestorm isnt arms to me

stoic oriole
#

just did a ws 17, slayer is fun man, pressing execute is fun

dusk lake
#

It is unbalanced. Starting from the fact that this season is blizzard’s opportunity to let their newborn child shine (DDH), everything else takes a toll from there

nova marsh
#

Honestly

#

I'm still shocked Devourer got nerfed

#

UDK I can get

#

But man that felt so random

dusk lake
#

Really? Why?

stable mountain
#

ddh was giga strong

nova marsh
#

Because they're taking the same approach they did with aug

#

"New spec means it has to be meta"

gilded kraken
#

devourer on release was like

#

half as strong as release aug was

nova marsh
#

Granted, I think aug did get nerfed

gilded kraken
#

maybe less then half

#

like a third lol

nova marsh
#

In DF S2

dusk lake
#

Hmm yeah

gilded kraken
#

were you there in df s2 tho

#

because aug wasnt just meta

#

it was legit an abomination

nova marsh
#

yes I know

dusk lake
#

I was not personally

balmy kindle
#

I was there keks

gilded kraken
#

nowhere near what devourer is rn

nova marsh
#

Aug was fucking disgusting

#

Like legit

balmy kindle
#

Aug was legit feel io

No healers aug meta was fun

gilded kraken
#

yeah it was fucking hilarious to witness

nova marsh
#

Aug was genuinely the most overpowered spec wow has ever seen arguably

#

Even more broken like launch wrath dk

gilded kraken
#

barring shit like

dusk lake
#

Lmao

gilded kraken
#

ashen hollow hpal

#

yeah by far

#

its not even a contest

#

for m+ at least

balmy kindle
#

I mean ashen h pal was strong but not Aug levels

#

Aug was game breaking in Df S2

nova marsh
#

Aug took a giant dump over DF s2

#

I think I got to KSH and immediately quit

gilded kraken
#

the fucking

#

opp roar into infinite vdh cc meta

balmy kindle
#

In pug groups dps slot became just 2 slots keks

gilded kraken
#

dps were literally hitting dummies

#

for 99% of the dungeon

nova marsh
#

Oh yeah

#

AND

#

AND

gilded kraken
#

sometimes hitting defensives and spending 90% of their time on notevenclose checking if theyd get oneshot

nova marsh
#

If your class didn't work well with aug?

gilded kraken
#

god bless ortemis

nova marsh
#

No invites

#

get fucked

balmy kindle
#

^^ and because Aug was in its infancy stages, nobody knew what it did

inland drift
#

We vibing with slayer?

balmy kindle
#

So you could be the worst Aug player and still get invites

hushed pine
#

Yeah because Aug just augments everyone else's damage

fallen anchor
#

What they are doing now is really good making slayer very good for raid and playable in m+ and colossus very good in m+ and good for aoe bosses in raid

gilded kraken
#

i would hope not but given who we're talking about

#

id sadly not be surprised

nova marsh
#

because people thought the aug was trolling

This aug discussion reminds me of this video I watched from Izen recently. It shows on a scale of 1-10 how “meta” a spec was. Look at what happens from DF S2 when augs are introduced

@nova marshbless me next week for legs or boots

#

Is there a scenario where Plume is better than Heart or Gaze Trinket?

smoky kayak
#

I've been running a lot of new bis list in prep for the ascendant voidcore upgrades, and all my findings have put Umbral Plume basically equal to Gaze/Heart
it might vary a bit with specific gearing, but I say go with whatever you have access to and personally enjoy best

granite swift
nova marsh
nova marsh
fair gust
#

but i have both gaze and heart on myth

inland drift
#

Uuu a feather

nova marsh
#

Sorry I webt crazy cu holy

smoky kayak
#

I mean you can sim, but I would not think that plume would be a meaningful upgrade

fair gust
#

Well the other only Upgrade i could get would be Socket

smoky kayak
#

or a coin if you have things to bonus roll

fallen anchor
#

And upgrade to 298

smoky kayak
#

that still leads back to the same point - just use whatever you get access to

#

but yes, heart and gaze are generally easier to get, though everyone's situation may vary

#

I didn't see a single gavel drop for all of Shadowlands Season 3, lol

#

shit happens sometimes

grand pivot
#

umbral plume sims higher for me then gaze

#

with the 298 upgrade

fair gust
#

I got Gaze last wek with Bonus roll - and i really got lucky since i opened it as Arms Loot Spec xD

grand pivot
#

but, wait, I have the gilded discount on my alts now, but i dont have discount on my main

fallen anchor
smoky kayak
# grand pivot umbral plume sims higher for me then gaze

like I said, your individual results may vary slightly based on your gear - if you're low crit, then plume is probably going to be worth a little more

but the higher you get in gear, the more they equalize, and no matter what you're still sidegrading a Myth trinket for a Myth trinket

slow saddle
#

Ive got a mby silly questio

#

n

#

i got the 2h from POS available in vault

smoky kayak
slow saddle
#

but ive spend loads of rolls in pos allready and lack belt - weap - ring from there

fair gust
#

Yeah i guess - but oly Other upgrade is my Last Socket + - i took out 2 already^^

slow saddle
#

im guessin only solution is to spend my 2 rolls first c what i get then take weap?

#

or is pos ring not that big ? i could also take weap and start in NPX

smoky kayak
#

Pit ring is perfectly competitive, but you have other options (NPX, Midnight)

slow saddle
#

y im not seeing midnight

#

in the near future on paladins as is 😄

soft parrot
#

Is it still exclusively colossus in m+?

smoky kayak
#

never was

smoky kayak
slow saddle
#

no way heroic one beats a mythic ring ?

fallen anchor
#

Rn I think you can play slayer if u want in keys lower than 20

slow saddle
#

its just more st into more prio but less overall ( which can be farmed by others )= ?

gilded kraken
#

you have way less prio as slayer

slow saddle
viral fiber
#

Of course lol

slow saddle
#

if u are lucky theres no way its not ALOT better

#

but if unlucky its sheise

fallen anchor
slow saddle
#

big executes

gilded kraken
#

doesnt matter

fair gust
#

Right now sims higher- with weap on 289 it sims 500 more - with current gear that is hmmm

slow saddle
#

weep wounds

gilded kraken
#

when you get twice the demolishes

slow saddle
#

thats not prio though

#

thats big bonk

gilded kraken
#

its funnel

slow saddle
#

thats not prio

gilded kraken
#

xd

grand pivot
#

@smoky kayak it seems myth of the dawn is bugged.. fully random if i get discount or not?

gilded kraken
#

how is it not

slow saddle
#

the reason col has more funnel, is more the case of 15% more slam dmg in tree

#

because 2 different words

#

zug zug

#

also ill stop the troll

gilded kraken
#

yeah but like

smoky kayak
slow saddle
#

it is ofc the same ^_^

fallen anchor
#

@slow saddle when there is adds 3 or above colossus is better than slayer in almost everything

gilded kraken
#

i mean tbf its not the same

#

not all specs with good prio have funnel

#

but all specs with funnel have prio

#

type shit xd

grand pivot
smoky kayak
slow saddle
#

also how big is the gap

gilded kraken
#

its part of the reason why you have funnel though

slow saddle
#

id say that practiced strikes

smoky kayak
#

I don't see how

slow saddle
#

its what separate the funnel the most

gilded kraken
#

more demolish = more st

smoky kayak
#

that's not what funnel means

gilded kraken
#

it isn't but more targets = more demolish = more st = funnel

fallen anchor
smoky kayak
#

the funnel is coming from Cleave, MS, and Sweep

#

the benefit of that funnel is more Demolish

gilded kraken
#

i mean

#

in a sense yeah

smoky kayak
#

though it's not always actually more demolish, since you're usually delaying it for CS anyway

slow saddle
#

lets not argue with our theorycrafter 😄

gilded kraken
#

guess it makes more sense when you put it that way

smoky kayak
#

kinda semantics

gilded kraken
#

im not arguing with him its just semantics

#

yeah xd

slow saddle
#

which is half the fun 😄

smoky kayak
#

I understand your line of thinking

slow saddle
#

also we never delay with ZUG

#

it light up

#

i press

gilded kraken
#

did the chicken or the egg come first type shit innit

smoky kayak
#

that is a way to play

smoky kayak
grand pivot
slow saddle
#

i mean brain comes in when i start doin keys where it matters more 😄

fallen anchor
#

Tbh with colossus change rn you can easily fail a lot of things if u don’t use double demo in a pack ur losing a lot of damage

gilded kraken
smoky kayak
#

mmm I think it depends on the situation; there are times where you wanna double demo a pack and there are times you wanna hold it for a better lineup on the next

slow saddle
#

Archie did u update current M+ slayer build?

fair gust
#

I think i get the Plume - having an option is nice i guess - and i Still can get my last socket from next vault 😄

smoky kayak
#

there are no updates to the current M+ Slayer build

slow saddle
#

didnt we go heavier into execute - and massacre?

#

and CT

elder zealot
#

Also it's day 1 of the patch, I think it's too soon to tell for any builds

slow saddle
#

rly ? usually these guys have it done by day 2 ( 1 of eu ) 😄

fallen anchor
#

@smoky kayak btw isn’t it better now to drop execute applies deep wounds and take massacre in slayer dungeons ?

smoky kayak
smoky kayak
slow saddle
#

ok. i was thinkin if leaning into the ST part

#

yes DW execute is still insane

smoky kayak
#

the thing that gets dropped is Battlelord, not Deep Wounds

#

there's a link to the build in #updates-midnight, but I have not made it the "main" M+ Slayer build, because I'm not convinced its wholly better

slow saddle
#

i mean the most frustrating thing about slayer arms

#

is rly it needs

#

to take overpowering finish imho

#

martial prowess AND execute talents

#

and powerfull momentum...

#

hm in a 12 ill deffo drop

#

mass execution

smoky kayak
#

in my tests, you're trading ~3k AoE for ~3k ST, which yes - it's a smaller relative loss of AoE for a larger relative gain in ST, but most of what you're doing in a M+ is AoE

slow saddle
#

for powerfull momentom

#

or overpowering finish seeing we press op a lot now

smoky kayak
#

so again, I don't really know if I'd consider it better or worse yet, it's just an option

slow saddle
#

Chrushing force out ? to get Stance mastery?

#

dmg gain now then actually ?

fallen anchor
#

I really hope slayer becomes good for heavy ST dungeons like skyreach,academy,nexus and magister trace

smoky kayak
slow saddle
#

its SUCH a good thing in pugs

#

i use it on so many pulls

smoky kayak
#

so again, that's something I consider a trade off and it's really hard to tell people which they should do because there's a strong argument either way

slow saddle
#

yeah i was thinking solely dmg

smoky kayak
#

the damage diff is negligable

fallen anchor
#

At least u don’t lose dmg to spec into def talent for spec tree like fury

smoky kayak
#

Stance Mastery provides extremely little damage (and practically less if you're actually using Defensive Stance regularly)

fallen anchor
#

I hate fury so much cuz of that man

gilded kraken
#

on the topic of stance mastery and dstance

candid garden
#

We need that weird 20x slam dmg proc thing back

gilded kraken
#

any of yall remember infinite rage df arms

#

spamming ignore pain for am

#

and critcake using fyrakk tank trinket in atal 32 or w/e it was

#

good times keks

granite owl
#

so what's the prio for Slayer AoE now? I feel like there's too many procs between OP resets and SD. Cleave on cooldown, OP on cooldown, now do you use MS on cooldown or SD on cooldown? if I use SD, I'll never get to use MS or OP caps out, so I'm confused

fallen anchor
#

Tbh stance mastery is the most broken talent ever in high keys

fallen anchor
viral fiber
#

SD sudden death?

do we have consensus which keys are slayer keys now? same as before nerfs?

viral fiber

So slayer better now?

pulsar frost
pale mantle
#

hum pit still pretty much colossus only

fallen anchor
pulsar frost
#

ran a decent chunk of keys, they all feel good/fiune, assume the main slayer keys are probably still if not better

pulsar frost

pale mantle

is doable

you cant really say BS hits like a wet noodle this patch when ive had it top overall dmg plenty of times xD

so far ive been having more consistent pumps with BL but also know I could do better with rage management for exe build

slow saddle

@smoky kayak hmm ok so i rolled ring

#

i guess im takin weap, as now theres only belt left and 4 bad rolls 😄

#

all ill say in a 12 actually it doesnt feel like Slayer comes to its own in ST 😄

i hardly got 2 execute b4 shit was dead

boss dmg feels legit though ngl

Void+wedding ring likely

Do you not take mass exe?

just drop blord and bb for massacre and x2 CT

Ah CT, but with no blord, won't your aoe pulls be kinda painful

MS doesnt proc reap

if im playing slayer i want Execute

Not even OP eh monkahmm

@minor gust ure NA right?

what was the delay of buffs?

warrior specific or general class changes?

idk

mystic summit

next week is the 298 stuff from the forge right

cedar cairn

do yall send exe when over 80 rage on CT build?

minor gust
#

CT build as in M+ build?

rigid flicker
#

So it's fury thane in M+ now in principle? Or are the numbers a bit misleading?

vast hinge
#

How are the sums showing ST at 90k

#

When I do like 55k in keys lol

#

I’m pushing 19s like I’m not dogshit

minor gust

because sims are done with all buffs

hybrid needle

And st build not aoe

nova marsh
#

Evreyone kinda shit if the tank pulls low

stable fiber
#

That's not what I mean

vast hinge
#

Tank being safe doesn’t exist on high keys

stable fiber
#

It's not worth to send bladestorm on 3 mobs

vast hinge
#

Every tank I meet wants to combine 2 packs that should never be combined lol

stable fiber
#

But Colo can do it just fine

#

With demolish

pulsar frost
#

I enjoy sending demo on will

#

Bs is less that

stable fiber
#

Like I was playing 2 keys with the same tank but different classes

#

He pulled scared in a nexus point and it felt infinitely harder to play as slayer then it would as colossus

minor gust

Idk it's hard to explain but slayer feels less versatile then Colo going pack to pack

Not even close

I didnt play that well towards the end of the fight but I think slayer has some potential for dragons
