Its just to gain more st
Its not on wowhead. Drop mass and powerful for overpowering finish and MP
i always assumed default just means wowhead since most folks yonk the build from WH anyways
Thats the build
Me + powerfull momentum
This whole recklessness vantus situation is so fucky lmao
Into op + mp
then it wouldnt be default
Can someone explain me why i dont rend on single target, but i do it on multi target?
same thing with slayer and mass and 2 CT
Math
Thats why
rend hits everything
more targets > 1 target
so rend on 1 target is not rage/gcd effective compared to other skills?
No
Reason u dont is its bad in st
Because default is with mass and powerful
But gettin rend on 10 targets is good
And mass and powerful is still impossible to drop for some dungeons like seat
i think its bug, i cant find heroic strike š
Thats why Tuki ah shiba
Because saprish gives mass and powerful HUGE value
Do I never use 'Cleave' on single target, even if i have 2 free cleaves from proc?
Now id prob just go thane
You spend like a full 30 seconds maybe more in execute range depending on key and group
youre never dropping powerful in col builds
dont think we take mass tho
as col
Yes u are
Yes we do
hypothetically, there are times where it can fill in
but practically? no, don't bother
Aa and skyreach
powerful momentum as col?
Thank you for answering !
Its droppable and fine to play without as long as there isnt a 2-3 target boss
Yeah
idk i just like the normal non MP build for col
big aoe, good funnel ST is whatever theres 2 other dps as long i do decent st
since avatar is 1,5 min cd and colussus smash is 45 sec.. is it safe to assume that i should basically avatar on cooldown and 50% of the time with CS?
Nah play 1 key as slayer
now if i do like 30-50k then thats concernign
Magge go look on wowhead
This is basic q's easily solved by the guide
And thats fine
But some people really hate the st (me)
Hello is there a good addon to add sounds to when Rend is about to go out?
best I can do is +12%
Actually I do
Id take that
I have problems with the spec but I still like arms
ok, I gotchu - six weeks ago #updates-midnight message
What ever the number that makes 2 x ep = u wanna ms no mattee what
Heck buff ep to 75% per stackš¤£
Op rage gen should be passive ngl
hi, got a silly question. im coming back to war dps after many years.
im playing in a phys comp for m+. should i learn arms or fury better? dmg-wise which got better profile?
What ever u prefer
So silly that itās not
i like to play arms and get big mortal strikes, but there is a problem when doing that. if im lucky and get a fat one to fast the boss kicks my ass. so before any buffs that ability they need to fix that huuuuge aggro thing it does š
both are equal?
as far s the whole OP/MP Colossus build is concerned, you're losing ~3-4% multitarget for ~3% single target, which is... fine, but not exactly an equal trade in terms of raw damage
If you're playing a dungeon like Skyreach and don't want to do Slayer, I don't think there's anything explicilty wrong with it, but I would consider it a variant option rather than a primary build
And comp
If your group will pull mobs onto bosses whenever possible then arms will be better I think
u mean colossus arms over slayer arms right?
Yes
we will be probably playing dudu tank monk heal, rogue war hunt
hunt being swaped probably
Y fury
or pala instead of rogue
Oh no Shaman
No shaman forget arms
we dont know yet
is collosus still better then slayer in m+?
Yes
Without shaman probably fury
Slayers just better in pugs
Ye
Then u will suck
xD
Elylental or heal
okaoka
It kills funnel
Ele will take your funnel though
so if im pugging u recommend me slayer arms or fury
Nono elly can dt more
Yes
and between them? whatever i feel better with?
Y
alr
isnt fury now just tclap spam?
u go haste crit on arms and haste mastery on fury?
or im dumb
as diff guides say diff things
guys , are you also unlucky so much and ms is like critting once every 6th hit? with sweeping strikes i feel like i need at best 4 ms to get to 10 demo stacks...
wanted to ask here
see thats what i mean its not the DEFAULT build its an option but mr @nova marsh would disagree saying its the default smh
....huh
In gen tes
But havin crafted pieces with wrong stats
Doesnt matter much
Dude I stg this is ragebait smh
ye i got them haste vers
all my crafteds
as i raid as prot
If I want to sim for cleave/m+ build what should i use? Patchwerk 3 bosses or just dungeon slice?
Better use lights potential thenš¤£
yup i think i will swap them to
but prot likes crit haste as well
haste crit
haste crit prob better for all 3 specs right?
or haste mast
i will have to swap like 3-4 crafteds

well haste crit is the stats for arms and prot
fury prefers mastery but its fine for most part
so haste crit i fit all them better than haste vers xD
i mean ye, prot doesnt even like verse that much either
Prots actually run more mast and vers for m+ than crit
Crit/haste gang all the way

will swap crafts later then
getting the heart from vorasisus is a big upgrade right?
i see all top wars with that
THeres nothing wrong with chugging on a shield and go tank. Thats the great part about warr
does't matter that i timed the hardest keys on 16 brown = decline
i had no issues getting my 16s done 2 weeks ago
was probably faster doing 16s then getting into 15s lol
i got resi 18 on main and i dont get invited to 14s on 283 warrior alt
xD
so imagine
well whats main
well there you go
Warrior doesnāt get invited unless itās phys comp
monks meta currently
this one?
yes
best build rn for pugs slayer massacre?
for M+?
I would say massacre with a shaman
Battlelord without
y
for m+
seems i am the only one who is stack with clossus >.>
thats my opinion atleast from my own testing
nothing wrong with colossus. I just perfer the slayer playstyle
faster yea
What's the build people are using currently? (slayer for m+)
its honestly been awhile since this many playstyles have been competitive. its nice
how is everyones ST as colllosus atm? i feel like i'm lacking alot in the ST department
I mean 70k to 75k is not very good
š® am doin 70 -75k yea
what about our priority now? in m+ st/aoe
thats the massacre prio according to Biz/Fishy
not 100% on the battlelord one so i wont speak on it
yea thats just aoe. ST should be the usual afaik
that looks incredibly truncated
Thatās for the massacre Crit thinking slayer build they cooked up
yo, the "multitarget" section in wowhead guide. is that with 2 targets or 3+ ?
Im just passing along the info they had figured out
it's still truncated
I implore you to just follow the public action list; it's kept very well updated on purpose
- there's no "hidden" action list. When something new is discovered and verified, it goes into the public
fair
Ye cooked up prios in sims isnāt necessarily feasible in practice
I mean it's not even better right now
I cant seem to figure out the answer, sry for asking! in the wowhead rotation guide, is multitarget with 2 targets or above or 3 ?
People love the idea of overriding the public info and using some secret squirrel tech instead
But more often than not, what actually happens is someone is working on something and shares a snippet of it, which someone else who isn't fully aware of the process sees and starts running with an unfinished idea - sharing it and promoting it, when it's not even necessarily better in the first place
in this case, no it's not wholly better than the public, with or without the Massacre build (though it is close)
you mean there's not an ancient hidden tibetan warrior monk list that can pull 180k st
Not trying to override anything tbh. I know ppl are having fun testing everything and I was just showing what usually reliable sources were talking about
I promise you, as soon as there's something finished, concrete, and verified, it'll get pushed to the default
Oh I believe you, sorry wasnt trying to step on toes. Thats my bad
even the build itself is still something that's being debated - just last night, Biz was promoting dropping Mass Exe for 1 BB
na it's not about stepping on toes, it's just trying to avoid creating potential confusion by making declarative statements 
thats fair, my wording could of been better
and poof, just like that its gone, problem solved lmao
for what it's worth, I'm actually a huge fan of simplifying the apl - it's always a battle between min/maxing as much as possible and keeping the list sane enough for the average player to read, parse, and perform it
Fish, Walhe, and our other brains do great work though, while Biz and others have been very helpful in lending their own insight and experience to the process, so Arms lists are usually pretty sane
I like to make it even more simple and fine the lowest loss for a zug Zug hard prio. Brain off make better for me (and probably lots more) and I love and appreciate the starting point yall give.
No think. Only Zug.
hey boys any1 using plater and can gib link to their settings
Just search for jundie
did warrior slayer get buffed yet
Demolish is a good example of this, since there are a lot of ways you can use it - on cooldown, only during CS, or either based on the number of stacks
The warrior is my 2nd char for the expansion and i played one month with [Crucible of Erratic Energies]. I did everything on the console with my main char. On the trinket when i hover it said i have the upgrades placed and i never did the console dailys. Did i had the effects active or i handicapped myself?
Uh yeah this past week
I believe the upgrades are character specific for them to be active with the trinket
but someone can correct me if im wrong
and i wonder why my dmg was no on par with others....
Raidbots usually has all the upgrades for the trinket checked by default so you wouldnt catch it on sims either
but yea, gotta do the quest. I believe the event can drop the upgrade item as well
i hope someone else will give his knowledge/opinion on my question
thanks for the respond Arctic
yea np
playing puzzlebox and i get it off CD during a fight with multi mobs that will last more than 20 sec, do i cast it?
logs
COULD BE 200K
or didnt do it
ITS A 54 LOG
WE'RE IN THE BOOKS
OKAY SLARMS
200K 2ND BOSS
OKAY SLARMS
ITS A COOK
HIGHEST DAMAGE ON ALL BOSSES
THEN WE SEND SLARMS RAID
im tryna gear arms but as i gear in like 10s-12s would fury just perform better in pugs
Can play slayer for more consistency in pugs
No dungeon slice is not supported
Sim st and Sim multiple targets with a shorter duration seperately
8 Targets 1 min?
F
Yeah that'll work
+12 in the slayer reap talents 271 ilvl, wasnt feeling as useless dps on gar fight
Congrats
will it sim better even tho 2set from rings tho
it's trash
the 2set
yh use the 2 myth rings
so 3/3 rolls hit so far on the pos then iguess
just gotta get that weap next run since last roll for this week
oke ty
200 to go for 282+
@astral yarrow get that r1 king
didn't feel much
On colossus not much has changed at all
On slayer its a much bigger difference
I have a habit of using overpower over heroic strike, since I cant really track when Slam procs Heroic strike. How does your UI support that?
Anyone here running chim mythic I can bring my warrior to? I've got CE on my main, but no shot a pug group is taking me at 265 ilvl lol
when i got tired of it i just slammed whole panel of slams on top of other bars so it shines like a second sun when heroic is up

actually comfortable with it, never lose one
lmao sounds like something i would do
given weakauras are out, i cant get an addon to show heroic strike is up in the middle of screen?

slarms feels great in nxp
yeah
st is cranked
i topped all bosses
i sent log here
earlier
wasnt a perfect run by any means but
timed is timed
1min left
@latent moss
ragish do u have detailed log showing dmg contribution by skills ?
im not home rn but I told u it owns
bros never home
Does a max garfrost's make that much of a difference over a 285 crafted wep? Is it worth taking it from vault and spending all those crests..?
^ factos i forgot
if ur gonna be roling pos
its probaly not worth it to vault
ex u need neck ring belt chest
good point thank you brother

Y i mean prob better 2 be fury??, but arms doea have funnel
not sure honestly
idk it could be a skill issue
but as fury i do the exact same dps as training dummy sim
then go into a key and dont do simdps
as arms i always do simdps basically
as slarms*
especially the aoe sim for thane
its supposed to be beating colo
but it just isnt
cause sims arent accurate ye
@mortal crag i just realized
why is ur rogue outlaw all of a sudden

Bro itās so funny people all like warrior niche shouldnāt be execute execute profile bad yadayada but then when execute absolutely fucks weāre happy and excited about it perma

buff ms a bit and im happy
Perfect world for me is Condem that way weāre relevant on farm with lust pull also
imo slayer should always be execute heavy
I want exe, ideally condemn
and colo should be the non execute heavy
fuuuuuuuuuuk
Which is amazing work!
Condemn as choice node with massacre either u get first 15//20 and last 20
Huge W having the option
Or last 35
If we got a bit more. Sd prpcs
if we got manaforge 2pc
Y current tier is great
i always wanted slayer to be
execute madness
just sending it
let colo do the thinking idc
i enjoyed the fuck out of venthyr arms in pvp
with death sentence
no one can run away
called death sentence for a reason
ofc they got rid of it
the execute charge
peak
Ep forces ms to stay tuned lower
wish avatar made us switch to exe spam or something
then outside of ava u follow ep rota
i understand the need for ep
but i always enjoyed exe spam
df s3 i used to pug heroic while saved and beg for pi in execute
ep is the thing that makes us not just spam exe. it's great. tho ofc sometimes tuning is wack and we spam exe anyway
tbh i just got bored of exe exe exe/op ms rota
would you not get bored of the exe5000x rot as well tho?
Ngl I still enjoy it tho
u would ofc
but switching up mid pull
would be epic
like during ava u spam exe or something
Or hear me out
Let us have powrr in execute
Nerf it in pvp
theoretically it's prob worth doing so depending on executioner stacks right now
im not sure with these buffs but u only ms with 2x ep and cs up i think?
didnt raid yet so idk
Exactly
martial prowess helps push ms up in prio
which u dont play in m+ and i havent played raid yet
Inside cs it should be done yes?
Arms Slayer just uses Mortal Strike with 2 EP in execute now in single target builds, or 2 EP & CS in AoE builds.
from updates
channel
Like it extends cs must be a zero sum game?
ye u used to send ms on cd with cs up
apparently not. wowhead guide used to say so but not anymore
after the buffs that is
Gotta be a rage issue
quick apl check
Or they must buff ms
If 2 x ep isnt = press ms no matter what tbh
Games a bit cooked
yess more buffs
ye u send ms
with 2x ep
in exe
actions.slayer_execute+=/mortal_strike,if=buff.executioners_precision.stack=2&(talent.martial_prowess|!talent.martial_prowess&debuff.colossus_smash.up)|debuff.colossus_smash.up&talent.battlelord
if u dont have mp
its only with cs up
no 2xep is inside cs. i thought you meant just sending ms on cd inside cs no matter if no 2xep @slow saddle
Ah in exe ofc u want 2 ep
Coz u cant reset ms anywaus
and now its peak
Single target build you only ms with 2EP doesnāt matter if cs or not
Multi target build you only ms with 2EP and CS
This only applies to execute build
applies to blord build too
So basically in dungeons youāre chillin sending execute and op perma until cs is up
|debuff.colossus_smash.up&talent.battlelord
hey, new here! is slayer or colossus better for m+?
yea but sometimes you had ms off cd and didn't have 2ep but you sent ms anyway coz tier. but now according wowhead it's only with 2ep
lemme clean the apl a bit from talents we never play
just saw critcake playing fury on L
Execute trucks
colossus is generally better unless you're doing a key that really favors single target like AA
actions.slayer_execute+=/mortal_strike,if=buff.executioners_precision.stack=2&(talent.martial_prowess|!talent.martial_prowess&debuff.colossus_smash.up)|debuff.colossus_smash.up&talent.battlelord
actions.slayer_execute+=/overpower,if=buff.opportunist.up&talent.opportunist
actions.slayer_execute+=/overpower,if=talent.fierce_followthrough&!buff.battlelord.up&rage<80
actions.slayer_execute+=/execute,if=rage>40|buff.sudden_death.up
actions.slayer_execute+=/overpower
actions.slayer_execute+=/execute
just saw critcake playing fury on Lura, what's the angle there?
Fury is strong
exe so powerful what the helly
Flexible
Ye buffs made it great again
does more damage
nothing complex really
so is fury considered a better pick than arms on that fight?
probably not
kha was top pre buffs
Think arms still top idk
yeah cuz fury apl is exe ramp bt
Fur execute goes hard too
xaaxaxxa
Fdk beats me in p3 btw
gg
it does 2% more exe dame
did kha rekill
That spec is op
than arms
gg
Well
fdk outsims us by 10k no
I beat him some pulls
fdk has really good st
idk crit is probably also just testing things out. tests things all the time
He beat me other pulls
what doesnt outsim us tbf
I tried fob build but idk the crystal damage is like significantly worse
do you bladestorm on st as slayer ?
ofcourse
I'm at 110k as arms
idk if this 122 on simc is after buffs
yes
seems like it is but idk
thanks
Manās a whole 1k ahead of me but does have 1 extra socket
I canāt find the other 500
hole powerful
I still did 10k more dps then critcake
hole + restat
Actually crazy
Nono i dnl how fdk keeps gettin buffed
High roll of the century?
fdk keeps getting buffed cause they cry how they are weak
they are weak when compared to udk
but so i everyone elese
Not any more
is Slayer Arms rng heavy on the fight?
tbh i have no clue about raid
im about to prog on it, not sure if i should run Arms or Fury
Both are
man i sim like shit what the helly
Equally reliant on sd procs in p3
bladestorm cd is very likely. not looked into it but bladestorm cd rng is just stupid no matter what
im only 101k
I know rend is too low, but is demolish too low too?
And crita
+12 MC
idk vantus sim
irrelevant as fuck for me
im not vantusing on anything
i mean even with vantus
tbf im 284
I mean end boss u are // any proggers boss
Vantus make sim number go up that's what mattere
happens
when at the start of patch u were competing with tanks
@olive nest wtf
is vantus dmg
+5k
from 101,3k to 105,7k
It is INSANE dps
It's big
Almost not real levels of gain
250 vers stat large
15% damage increase
Ye khaz said 500ish to me last night
I was seeing about the same
@stable fiber lol look at our crown kill last night. Clearly we are doing something wrong on this fight.

Never had a green parse in my life for a prog kill
nice arcane spec
3rd big top gear incoming...
Depending on what your team makes you do with obelisks that fight is turbo ass
4 melee isnāt bad though
what about greys?
how does deep wounds work
It bleeds
Just stealing all the P1 dmg
You apply it and it does damage
the shadow priest is how i usually perform
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/wgAdTr43QtJhKMpY?fight=last&type=damage-done I would like some feedback if I am doing something wrong and how to improve on it. thank you
Itās like maybe with swapping off weapon enchant and gems, Probably need pit neck too
need to swap around a bunch of things for it prob
True yeah
Iāll for sure make it work once I get the ring somehow because itās on the bis sim
You know what probably WS gloves
Maybe
that's basically equal to the new Ascendant Voidcore BiS I setup a couple weeks ago
I've run every combination that I could find, and it doesn't really seem to matter whether you use
- Pit or Saladhaar neck
- Chimaerus or tier boots
- NPX rings or Eye of Midnight + Pit or Void
- Gaze or Plune
You just swap around gems/enchants a little bit and it all comes out within 0.0%
that said, 12.0.7 drops are going to invalidate it all over again 
Ye so pretty much we can rock the two cantrips for cool factor if we want
i assume u should aim for eye + pit or void
Like that a lot
if you're mainly concerned with single target; once you start talking about multitarget (esp Colossus instead of Slayer) things start changing more
whatver makes reck pot easier to use
and i feel like eye makes reck pot harder to use
guys i've noticed sometimes my cleave don't spend a sweeping strike, is that because the mobs are too spread or am i just not positioning well
Fair enough yeah, I pretty much only ever sim for ST raid
not using Reck pot is the first and best step for that
3T of course
yeah sure but im almost certain this potion is like extremely broken on some fights and in aoe
it seriously just is not worth the headache
when do we spam execute in execute lmao ? with no cs?
that was shadowlands, you can see condemn on the bottom of the screen
so everything was exec phase

like p3 l'ura its actually nasty what you can do on that fight with a crit reck pot
having to cancel aura isnt fun though and not entirely sure its worth it ofc
Oh LOL
i used to laugh at u kha for having to cancelaura
Thats so much worse
i cant change my weapon enchant either
Guys, quick question! In DPS-faq Slayer talantes don't pick "Stance Mastery" - good idia?
it really likes the haste
Same here with my sim
going crit wep enchant is -500 dps on the sim
Have to use berserk
same
Zerk is haste right? That's what I'm using
y
Ye
My slayer loves it's haste mastery
ye
i think
1 sec
Just did a 14 key, im the Warrior. Playing colossus so Im guessing thats still best. But in raid I go slayer but do terrible dmg, im barely over tank?? im 283. Can it be that i have 0 mastery almost and 0 versatility? im full bis with crit haste
you don't need stance mastery unless you are pushing high keys
did he just flex on us?
thx
Im not trying to lol im genuine concerned im doing something wrong in raids considering im always just over tank xd
if you are doing "barely over tank" damage in raid you're doing something wrong
Skill issue I presume?
most likely
No u just bad
you are good, id say very
cant understand how u do 210k without aug, but cant do dmg in raid
What about ST on M+ bosses ? Still same bad?
Current dps after big aoe fight
thats overall damage not dps
Im going Colossus MT in M+
hm, ok then
Yeah its damage overall not dps xd
Show the log ill tell you why you suck in raid
Sorry? xd
Ah, ait
Since adds need to die
idk, this is the absolute best conditions I could find of a 2m Execute phase with Hero overlapping Pot
I'm not saying you can't do it if your stats support it (or you want to go through the effort of making your stats support it), but that's just so marginal
Im scared waiting
overpower>rend if not applied>slam
ddh presses collapsing star and u parse 50
You basically have to play with cancel aura hunt proc and berserk proc
Otherwise itās a pita to use
Yeah I just don't think it's worth the effort, honestly
thats what they did though lol
if anyone feels like going for it... I mean go for it, but I hesitate to use descriptors like "actually nasty" or "insane performance"
My raid 2 this day still dont pull adds 2 boss

ty
Oh didnt see he went col
Didnt pad enough ig
Go full ST slayer and beat my 109k boss damage
also canceling your buffs to make it work is a whole other bag of worms
What's the significant difference between using light's potential and recklessness with crit as highest? More rage with reck since your auto-attacks crit more? Anything else?
Idk about that I ain't that good espically in taid
there is no significant gameplay difference
Maybe in my guild run since they're not the greatest
Neither am I lmao
just have enough crit so you always proc crit from reck
Iām usually like a 90avg player, dudes in here are better
idk no matter what sim i do reck pot is always just a flat +600-1k dps better
just my gear ig
Im not where near 90s in mythic besides imp. Im decent in hero tho
I mean if you're intent on using it, you probably wanna set yourself up to use the crit enchant anyway, cause actively cancelling an extra buff during your biggest period of burst is not going to result in better performance
same for me. think it's 900 something rn
Im so ethical in chimmy that i just focus boss and not pad on adds
oh so the main problem with reck is that haste buff from bersserker's rage can screw you up?
You must bring some add damage
just save bs for adds
I cant really cleave small adds when they come up since blow up team. Going down cna be scuff due to cd timing and folks nuking that ahit
BS and call it a day
i got rank 3 on chim playing slayer
if you really wanna big brain it, the best thing you could do is just be setup to use either pot based on whether a stat-influencing buff happens to be active at the time
True maybe that haha
Lol I was just looking at my lura log and saw my crit % was dogshit during reck pot and then I come here and you guys are discussing the exact same thing
i have to admit that slayer execute build is very fun to play
keep in mind that vantus rune devalues reckpot
and default sims don't have vantus enabled
I'm just sayin idk if you normally sim with vantus or not, but defaults don't use it
since we're talking about something like L'ura though, I think it's pretty much guaranteed that you will have it on
I have had the same experience with reck pot sims personally vantus or no vantus itās still about +600dps in my gear with gain crit/lose vers
if you've been maximizing your gear around reckpot this whole time, then yeah it's possible you hit some funny breakpoint or something
stats in this game are insanely complicated, there's rarely ever one clear and clarion answer
Likewise
the most important thing for me now though and i dont think the sim can anwser it, but i wanna know if i can switch my weapon proc off haste
so then i dont have to cancelaura it
any1?
but switching off the haste enchant is a 500 dps loss so idk
I feel that I canāt get off berserk either
is there an agreed upon best guide site of the 3 that are listed in faq?
Yes wowhead
The orange name talking is the author
And will clarify all questions
so if you really wanna get into the weeds, I think what you'd wanna do is set up some kind of consistent sim, like 40s w/ no variance that's always in hero and execute
maybe even forcing the sim to start with the enchant buff procced, so you can perfectly line everything up
i know how to do the 40 second part with no variance, but starting with the enchant buff procced hmm
and then evaluate the impact of either
- cancelling the buff for pot
- changing the enchant altogether
- changing the pot based on the buff being procced or not
brutal finish is bad, right...?
And have it randomly applied after that properly
but I am pretty damn certain that cancelling a buff during your biggest period of burst is not a great idea, so I think your best options would be either #2 or #3
its worse then the other one
ya the beloren r1 has it and i had to make sure it wasn't some technology i was not aware of
na he just flubbed it
seems strictly worse
Haha fish said he ran it on accident
No tech there
also he only got R1 belo because he copied my rank 1 the day prior! 
(not really, but that's how I'm gonna spin it)
fishy is withholding secret knowledge
like most things, the secret knowledge is actually "just hit your buttons really good" and the rest doesn't matter all that much
i dont remember if you sent everything on pull or waited for the first 2 phoenixes but i started doing the latter after looking at his log
The problem with waiting is
easier for my slowbrain to not accidentally avatar before the egg phase
You will never squeeze in your second set and have them back for egg
I send on pull, cause our first birds get annihilated
if you send on first birds, you also won't have them up for 2nd birds, which tend to live longer (for me)
its kinda like "do you pot on first or second set of l'ura adds?"
in my experience, the first set gets very overkilled by everyone else blowing bigger/longer CDs, so I pot the second
^
idk if i can do that i have to stop entirely at like 1:45, if i send a second set i dont know if it'll be back in time for egg
also arms just sucks on the first set cause you have no heroic might or imminent demise stacks
whatever the bladestorm stacks are called
yeah unless you're very lucky w/ procs, it's gonna be neutered
My team had people not sending puzzle box and holding cooldowns and all that on pull* because we are killing the bird to quickly
would be nice if we could pot the 3rd set but it wont line up with the execute lust
the part I've struggled with is deciding when I should rip CS immediately or delay CS to hit more targets (at the expense of them dying before Bladestorm ends)
cause our grips are not always the fastest
ive been thinking on the first set it might be worth bladestorming early for a sudden death reap proc, then playing every set around delaying cs to hit the 3 closest spawns
its an issue on dragons too, sometimes my CS just misses adds that get gripped in slow
Yeah that's what I've been doing, just ripping it and hitting whatever I can
and the 2nd set generally survives Bladestorm long enough to sweep a couple executes, which I think makes up for it
all my sets die before i can tab target some executes now
rarely do i get to tab executes
its sad
Same boat
but it's one of those things where there's not really going to be a solid answer, because how fast these adds get gripped in or start dying before/after grip is going to be incredibly flexible based on what the rest of your group is doing
and because of that, I generally favor just sending earlier rather than later
so if you go on pull and go again as soon as avatar is back up you'll get it at the start of p2 consistently?
Yes
depends when you push P2
At the end of the cast ideally
but you'll usually get it at the start or soon after
people are generally pushing p2 at around 2 mins
yeah we are doing it during that channel at around 2 minutes
I was sending everything on cd for p1 and had everything up for first egg
they were, but less and less guilds are holding now post-nerfs
but i have to hold for like 10 seconds
mine still was for first egg anyway
I think we pushed at like 1:40 on our kill lol
It should be fine thereās a decent chunk of waiting for the egg to appear and gate
And youāll use the full duration of CDs during lust
mostly just worried about bladestorm i guess if i dont rip it at the start theres no chance at a second one during the egg and that second one is juice
like this pull
after first egg I held cds for adds if they were spawning soon
yeah we pushed at 1:40 and got on the egg at 1:53, which is early - previously you would want to push around 1:45-1:50 and get on the egg around 2m
but again, it doesn't have to be perfect - the egg is very free now as long as people stay alive
if you wanna rank, you should focus on throughput and sniping adds, not explicitly egg damage
2nd rebirth egg damage though
idc about ranking i just want to win faster

we had like 3 people dead going into the second egg and we still killed it with plenty of time to spare lol
if you're focused on killing the boss, you may wanna focus more on egg, but honestly.... Warriors aren't going to do much there regardless, so there is a strong argument for just focusing on killing birds faster anyway
just get lucky and do 8m on the first egg like that log i linked and arms looks great on the egg š
the faster birds get cleared, the easier a time players are gonna have focusing on the boss and its mechs
i feel like the prog strat is killing birds as fast as possible now
i dont think maximizing egg damage isnt nearly as relevant as it previously was, it should be a guaranteed 2 cycle regardless
p much
p1.2 is the hard part
^
we had it at 35% after the first egg phase, even with an unintended early transition
we had a very messy 2nd transition with people dead and still managed to kill it like 15s ahead of the timer
Iām okay with everyone getting the egg to 35% or less round 1 because I get to eat it alive in round 2

better groups are getting the first egg to like 18% now lol
ya ur telling me, the path to egg 2 is very daunting
p much what I did, except I held for birds in the 2nd P1
not entirely sure it's always worth though, since CS can get munched on sets that die fast (just make sure you're always hitting belo with it too)
You held first set the comes back after egg for birds correct?
is this a skill issue or slayer is just bad for low keys?
You played it poorly it appears
I also save my potion for the 2nd egg now btw; using it on first egg is kind of a waste
skill issue
I was considering that, but I thought losing pot during lust is kind of bad no?
same here
xdd
why u say that?
this is what I did on my early R1 - my last set of CDs got slightly scuffed because we had an unexpectedly early transitions while birds were up, so I decided to just send Pot + BS instead of holding for the next CS that I wasn't sure I was gonna get
Execute should be higher, which makes reap higher
do i press bladestorm when its up but my colossus still on cd? or i hold bladestorm for colossus? as arms slayer. in ST and aoe
hold bladestorm for cs
but it ended up working out for me, because I got some extra bird damage and got that second CS and anyway
thanks sir
do i only press mortal strike in execute phase with 2 sttacks executioners precision? and if i dont have i prio overpower ?
depends if you are talking about the raid build or the m+ build
definetely skill issue
for boss dmg on dragons slayer mt will be fine?
Mythic?
ye
Not going col is grief there
how do you skip the skyreach wind stars? i see Biz is going into the first corner, taking tornado over and then spam jumping the bridge.
Can just leap to stairs
Full pug wise, is slayer more worth playing? (m+ 18/20 keys)
but playing col I should align demolish when adds spawn?
You havw to be at the edge then aim at a certain spot then leap
Careful tgo you can yeet yourself off
That happens pretty naturally
i stand here right?
Nah I played slayer on dragons this week slayer owns
Ye can aim at the platform/ stairs slightly lower
If you don't like colo def able to play slayer for mythic dragons
somewhere around there yea, then you jump and press leap
bingchilling
It's got the potential
You're just him on slayer. Not the same
oh wow i jumped to here
Can also just stand in the first swirl and jump as high in the stairs as possible. The non knockuo skip can be pretty random
ty!
yea thats what biz did earlier at stream!
Not sure if you can do that with the wind
Could be annoying. I just di it to the bottom of staircase
Carefully ofc since you can send yourself off
Yea that makes sense! Biz version is for sure easier by just running into first tornado in corner and spam jump, and while u are in air u basically jump to bridge.
Takes 5 seconds more but its guaruanteed to work
thanks tuki
@latent moss come watch Kha push
axxaaxaxx
19 desths on 14 is crazy
Im 3850 full pug full colo right now, getting tanks 2 pull the funnel isn't hard, but watching other ppl full aoe pad them is annoying
That shit would make me lose my mind.
Too many people slave to the overall that they int their own keys
Speaking of funnel how id slayers funnel
I did 1 key with funnel onto third boss of AA did pretty good damage off the 2 extra mobs
What funnels on slayer. I assume same but less then col
Yes
Slayer funnels the same as Colo just doesn't have the Colo CM stacks
And one of many thongy
Ig its the only way we proc reap besides sd
Buffin cleave
@slow saddle when MS buffs
Hopefully soon
im simming my 3 trinkets (gaze, solar is hero, puzzle is myth) and ive done dungeon slice.
How does Puzzle work in sim? does it basically cast 3 times during the 6 min dungeon slice, where im not attacking cus im casting?
Well dungeon slice sucks
im extremely new with simming - i use raidbots
skyreach is the single target execute build
right
if anyones around ima bout to run one
i'd appreciate it
its in the log yeah
if u scroll down it should show u what ur sim uses on a quicksim
but usually yes, puzzle will pre-cast it, then 2min later cast it again
