Right but I don’t like to overthink it you’ll eventually use it anyways
Yeah those are smaller optimizations
no
Does HS have more prio over MS still? Or MS goes on cd now
Bro stealing me stealing from cone

You're right I should start asking
I just thought by the time I got to a 19 it'd be default
Seems kinda troll not to use the Deathwhisper pack right there
pugs just generally dont like to pull onto boss
What about rotation prio in Slayer AOE? Cleave still on top of the other abilities? Or Execute procs/Standart Execute have more prio over standart Cleave, and only proced Cleave goes up?
dont blame them
aoe:
cleave
exe with sd or high rage
op
exe
ms
rend
pulling shit on top of boss just complicates the pull for most key levels
yeah its adding more difficulty when you dont need the funnel to time
yep
I agree but for Garfrost it's pretty free
u should do that pull regardless of slarms or colo
biz did 138k on garfrost
as slayer
its insane man
138k boss dps
wtf
Yep and all you have to do is kick one guy
yeah was just saying you got slarms as a solid back up if you dont think you will get funnel
everytime a pug tanked pulled that pack onto gar none of them ever CC so the funnel doesnt last the whole time

and then u get shit like
Ever had a netherburst go off cause of bad interrupts? 
Not an issue for Garfrost since you can handle the kick yourself
Am I high? Isn't there more than one in that pull?
I absolutely had one or two go off on a bad pug.
Of course im also dogwater so I might have missed the kick too
Well then thats just as on me as the other pugs hahahaha
Probably kicked the wrong mob or some brain dead shii
Its actually griefing to not play warrior
Skill issue ngl
how the fuck
This happen to me too right after the patch, tanking a +15. Also had one of the shadow dudes in combat but evading the entire right wing
WHat does the arms mastery "increases damage while wielding a 2H weapon" actualy do? Isn't that all damage? When do we ever not wield a 2H?
Exactly that. Its just versatility without the damage reduction
technically we can wear sword and board 
Mastery has long sense lost all meaning pretty much every spec mastery is just vers 2.0 aka more dmg no DR
or dr too in the case of surv hunter
actual vers for a mastery
no scaling
y
I assume the intention is because survival is "melee"
Are you guys seeing the target of a cast on your nameplates with plater?
yeah
Wonder why I don't
🤷
raid or m+
Both
m+ slayer is like 3-4 colo is like 7
the reason colo is higher is not cause the rotation is harder
its cause all of ur damage comes from a button that can miss
Whats more fun to play sl or colo
Can I slayer for all content
They are both pretty fun but Colossus feels bad because of really bad ST and Demolish rooting you in place essentially
At the same time it can feel pretty good to play and use Demolish well
Right now I'd recommend Slayer for sure tho
Ill start as slayer and then add in colo play after
Slayer is more funner
colossus is more punishing
More funner. Im sold
imo the hardest thing with colo is that
all ur damage comes from a button that can silently miss mobs
(cleave)
demolish can easily miss too
Imagine they made cleave a power up ability like evoker fire breath
I learn better with pictures, someone should make a picture like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/294030470604259330/1487790115395862650/range.png?ex=69e76d05&is=69e61b85&hm=7a4231f2bc8319c3d41b340d661b4c65cd02e5beebe7edb82f1a154571441b8e&
yes
there was one floating around
So given the update is Slayer for the M+ better than Colossus ?
no
its better for pugs
for premade id say they are close enough u should be able to play both
pit and maisara are colo favoured
If you're in a premade it's dungeon specific
algethar and skyreach are slayer favored
i was gonna use it for the paladins fight
rest are u can play w/e
I'd say NPX is slayer too
w
Next 2T/3T fight all bosses will be forced to be spread out
isn't this supposed to be the other way around?
or does not matter which one comes first?
if you have both active before your next global it doesnt matter tbh
dones't avatar also strenthens the CS?
yes but CS does no dmg
very little you mean
same thing
tbf slayer isnt even utilizing it
maybe can test to see if you gain more prio from prioing MS second in aoe
GG
set is way bigger for colo
Still its a funnel enabler we lose next tier
tbh fob is just broken

fob is the only reason ure pressing cleave for prio dmg
humble 300k heroic strike
on colo
??????
like
how is that a real talent
u can literally deal 600k in a single global to ur prio mob
300k cleave and 300k hs
I guess yeah maybe im underestimating FOB. Forget it didnt get the 50% bonus till midnight
for a proggers kill I'll take it
huge
get to sit on the first night of alleria prog tho lol
but muh kill
trying to decide on if I swap to fury for the rest of the tier or not
imo Arms bis for belo and lura and alleria it doesnt matter what you play
muh fury
arms did feel nice for belo
idk about lura cuz we were just wiping to p1 for 6 hours straight
:)
not that it matters much, but I sim higher as Fury :pepehands
classic arms
My only problem with arms gameplay right now is having to check broad strokes stacks to press sweeping strikes
I though blizzard wanted to remove this type of gameplay
Wish i was sat on it
but you don't need to
set an audio alert for when you lose the Sweeping Strikes buff
gg
annoying to press
ss should jsut be passive atp
u have close to 100% uptime
anyway
yeah I hope they notice that and just make SS passive man
no one wants to press this shit
agreed
it should just be legion SS
now that CS is baseline aoe I dont see why not
truth nuke
but like at the same token, make your life easier stop looking for the buff and just do this
It honestly doesn't really work that well
It doesn't make a sound when you consume the stacks only if the fall off
its very often like a second delayed
and if theres other sound stuff going on sometime it just doesnt go off
at all
Basically it's useless and just keep track of it
why would you want it to make a sound every single stack
I mean consume all 12
I am pretty sure if you consume the final stack it doesn't have audio
maybe it's not that
it does
I haven't had it not work for me
But it doesn't work all the time
and it makes the sound when you consume the last stack
because for sure it doesnt always work
no TTS etc
WAs had the same problem
Not to this level
YUSSS and then buff mortal strike while deleting avatar.
Or whatever buff needs to happen to be able to delete avatar
I had more audio going through with WAs and never had issues with the cha ching for BB
Idk I had more sound related stuff just not play with WAs
because so much of it overlapped
After a few log in/log outs, my CDM sound alerts delete themselves
why tf would you want to delete Avatar
abilities bugged
because by definition its a useless bloat cd
Useless CD
does genuinely nothing
That desyncs all the damn time
you wouldnt even notice it gone
i mean
as it does nothing but a dmg up for the spec
imagine this
you cant track it and u get teleported to a fight and u cant see ur character
can u tell if avatar is up
me when reading comprehension
like its just
I run into it being 10ish seconds behind when I have CS and BS ready and it tilts me.
such a shit cd that does nothing
arms doesnt need more cds than cs+demo/bs
and for the love of god move bs to slayer tree

Do arms warriors dual wield 2h or am I trippin
thats fury
it syncs perfectly with cs
and 75% of the time it syncs with bladestorm
doesnt always in M+ but in constant combat yeah
well i mean that can be true for a lot of specs no
yee
for all specs
unless u only have 1 cd
but im not aware of such spec
fire mage i guess
well you can like prepull DT to keep it synced with army
like i commonly use dt like 10 seconds before i pull something
what the fuck did i say
i just realized
i meant u always want to have dt for army
isnt wake = wings or did they remove that talent
u dont play it
oh
cause if u play it u dont play exe sentence
is it just for bigger exe sentences
better CS gg
ye its literally better cs
its what cs should be
u just wake
then u divine hammer next global
this is the quality we get for CS talents
imagine if demo worked like that
W
what a chud ass talent
WHERE
is my
iftk man
why did they gut it and move it to hero talents
fuckass company
getting iftk in exe phase was peak
moved to hero talents and made worse classic
and they didnt add the one thing they shouldve added
and thats manaforge 2pc
they add colo fuckass set that did nothing
well it did something
but they completely gutted it
iftk cant exist with this tier set i think
and the part of it that was doing something was the demolish damage
bro that colo bleed talent going from 80% to 15% is crazy xD
might be imgur + wow forum post time..
yep
lowk i think
thats what arms should be
apply cs then try to maintain it
bla bla makes us uptime reliant bla bla like we already arent
if i had power over arms
cleave wouldnt exist
rework rage for arms to be like DDH and press CS or a new CD to activate big d ick mode. except we dont try to maintain as long as we can
just short bursts of big dam
very tactical
true
Same. I would cut it. Demolish would be gone. CS would be the new Demolish and Rav would shoot out two executes and have reduced CD.
how do aoe
Demolish should just exactly be like wake and press CS makes it turn into demolish
Never remove cleave
this too
Put power into base cleave too
instead of needing like 6 talents to make it good
CS would be demolish you wouldn’t need to pair it with anything you would get the bonus from CS still and Demo. SS MS would give good prio and our ST would be better
To me loosin agency but faif
Im simpler. Let demo do a 3 sec cs
Of cs is up extend, if not is there
A. Would our ST be better lmao
B. Okay so we just have dreadnaught + SS for ANY form of AoE outside of CDS
That sounds awful
Yes eliminating button bloat would be my main goal
We have little bloat
Let me keep my buttons
rend if you wonna argue
Our rotation isnt bloatrd
RAV shoots out two executes still with all bonuses.
I mean I think ravager can go at this point
Make op give us rage
Exactly remove rav - make avatar do something
That should have never left. Terrible design choice
Ofc
Instead they.gave us hs
That only works coz of fervor tbh
In have double the keybinds on arms than any other spec or class I play lol.
In st its ok, but for rage purpose addin another proc rage cost into a 30% flst tact
Little 2 do with rotation
How many do you use
Are you actually using things like hamstring, heroic throw, shouts, exc regularly?
Like its rav for md
Rota wise I think we're almost fine if Ravager goes. I can....begrude avatar's existence on arms even if I personally dislike it
Feels pointless. Give same ability on pressin avatsr passive
Yes. HT really useful in keys this season and hamstring is kinda clutch first boss Seat
Ok but thats utility
Also stormbolt
Are you saying all pvp talents are bloat
Huh
No orc dude is
I’ve seen more Druid lately with monk healers
Bears seem to be ascending as well, which saddens me because I can't rend half the time going into a pack
Complainin bout utiliry keys
Let alone sweeping for stacks
Bro lol at least it’s not just me
Thats a bear issue. I feel safer stacking cm on bears than monks
Also my point was more so that monks in general are better for ads
Never said PvP talents are bloat. I said I have more keybinds on arms than any other class I play. 😂
Then named super situational thinf
Gonna say something crazy
But bloat like that is kinda personal pref
Cause as arms you have more CDs than some speccs have rotational abilitys
looking at hunters
Bloat to me is when it rotationally or utility wise is either jank or just feels extremely pointless
Even if warrior utility is outclassed it's not useless
Name 1 bloat
rend
I still think rend could have a spot
Buy
Needs interaction
Or deletion
Some reason 4 me to rend esp st imho
SKS was also bloat before blizzard shot it
Rav is Merciless bonegrinder on a cd which makes it more rewarding to use it correctly instead of passively
Disagree
When it fucked it made sense
Why do yall want less buttons so bad
2 me its openers
because we warriors are still mad that in a pruning expansion
blizz fucked it up
all I really want gone completely is ravager, evreything else I can live with
merciless bonegrinder dosen't even feel like it makes sense to have when cleave is this fucking stupid
So youre okay with not having merciless bonegrinder
Genuinely yes
Yes or passive rac on avatae
Buff dreadnaught to make up for it
Yes
Arms has done just fine without bonegrinder in multiple seasons
If cleave nerf it could get just dmf
Demolish needs a rework for ST imo
There needs to be something for stack gen that isn't "lmao, you throw away 2/3rds of your stack gen cuz tank didn't pull right GG"
More stack gen would skyrocket our aoe too much.
Im fine with just a Talent like the boomstick one
IMO you should interact with abilities, avatar and ravager have 0 interaction, most of time you can just macro and forget
I see no issues with aoe skyrocketing
Dosen't have to interact with aoe
could just be something like "non swept slams gen stacks"
You'd barely get anything in aoe from that
Slams 
Meh
You could put it on overpower but I also think that's excessive
I mean
What other way is there
that isn't rng
And less rng in general
Or just putting it on CS since blizzard seems to refuse to do that
This would turn your st rota into ms>slam>demolish>endoflist
Yes. Boomstick.
But unhinged is honestly is like the best way to fix stack gen
@nova marsh when arms rework
Remove rav + op give rage and im done!! Mayhaps hs free send on exe if mob dub 35%
I like ravager. They should buff it.
RIGHT THIS WHAR IVE BEEN SAYING
I want skullsplitter back
No
Maybe talent to 45
Why would you want to waste a talent point for 35 tho. Should be free
Yet you like ravager
Make it make sense
Maybe not 45. But baseline should be 35
I don't like ravager because of how it is implemented, it's just a press and forget ability with 0 meaning
Could get rid of mass all together and not replace it with the increased range. Just baseline the 35
Exe has always been a 20% thing. Its already very very lenient to even be able to put it to 35%
Just a waste of talent point. We could have something else that could be tech better
Counterpoint: Like evrey other execute thing is 35% nowdays
mass
OP rage before removal
Overpowering finish
I would actually prefer to execute be only at 20%, but be a lot powerful
I wouldn't mind removing the talent for Mas making it baseline and bringing bsck op rage gen as a talent etc
Many different things then just increase exe to 35
This is also fine
Thanks Microsoft
Its just waste of talent point imo like boomkin needs to talent into solar beam on spec tree. Like why
DF also brought in some playable ugly fucking... whatever they are supposed to be
They're just dragons
Needs 2 be pre changes sks. The 1 thats a totemkiller tbh
Whatever those are its not dragons
They're judt dragon people thats not massive Is all
They make my damage go up so idc
Thats evoker
Specifically augmentsation
Which easily couldve been a mage specc as in "time mage"
Ye which is what's mainly being played anyways
I dont feel it as warrior tbh
I've only played with 2 in all my push keys so
Mby ive just had bad augs

You now got arcane mage with TIME spells, evoker with TIME spells.. why
Y i dno, everythin feels like it lasts longer
I mean isnt evokes and Aug more fitting for bronze dragons or whatever
Idk my last run with Aug pack felt pretty quick
Look at bronze dragons. Look at dractyr. How are they the same
The concept of bronze dragons is time which is also Aug if im not mistaken?
The concept, yes
While we're at it give warriors lust. Exclude prot for all I care
And Emerald dragons are all about the stuff that druids can do
Why not both
I want cooler undead
Ok ill be honest
Dractyr is horribly Designed
Haranir can go back to amalur
Make warrior meta for once
Ye physical comp wise
Like we need 2 be veeeery silent atm
Even fury is good
Outside of phy its still solid but being real most folks ain't taking a warrior out of phy
Im 2 x happy
Nah but phy comp is veeery strong
Ye ik
Like u arent replacing arms with uh dk
We're the meta pick for phy
Tbh for arms 2 be meta we needed 1 more op phys.class
I mean its normally dk and war since dks normally pump ifk about now tho
Like id gather if like outlaw was super meta
Is monk still mostly physical? WW?
Rogues never becoming meta
Resto -aug - rogue - war - monk
But like why ww when brew
I mean
Ww is very good yes
Have you seen what rogues can do? Its crazy
I play warrior every season🤣
Whats the meta for grass
Weed
There's actually meta for it
🤣
Wa
If you really into that stuff
I just want my spec to feel good gameplay wise and do good numbers is really it
Rage is the only complaint I have. Espically for slayer
I mean we need slighly rage control then
From op
I agree
And rly thought unhinged should be a collosus talent
Or just better rng for reap and SD procs
Imo
And just let slayers. Bladestorm truck
unhinged was better as a spec tree talent
I mean unhinged feels better with rav
Bladestorm is ok. Just thinking of bad tanks not pulling more then 3 mobs is lame
In bladestorm its just pass dmg
3 is fine
Activates.fervor
We are now kings
But bigger better
Yes yes
Prot pala meta when???
Oh please
Then i dont even have 2 interrupt🤣
prot pally was meta or almost meta for like 4 years
When
I know im jokin
At least DF s3
So true man
Didn't play df so cant say
Y ngl had pala in df
But dh been meta the last 2 seasons no?
Was goated for weekly keys
DH and prot pally are usually fighting over it
even in DF S3 it flip flopped
I mained warrior before I quit. Came back didnt like how it felt. Played druid in s3 of tww now back on the war

U must suffer like us
I mean kinda glad. Lots of cool shit came out during that span I left the game
Its like asmon bro spent 20 years playing wow and has like no game knowledge for any other games
I raid logged for a long while
Kinda a shame
Bro has no wow knowledge
Ngl I'm glad BFA made me open my eyes to other games
Or skills
Im aware. But like 20 years of just wow. Missing out on all good games
bro ngl
Old and new
Is just a shame
Or we saying while using mouse as rotation🤣
Like imagine missing out on good story games cause of wow lol
Yeah thats mad
Never played the classic like ps3 games
Can't think of example currently but saw a clip a while back
I mean im only invested in c & c games
Like 2016 was a great gaming year. Dude missed lots
And baldurs gate kindda games
In classic
That is NOT easy to do
Bg3 good game. Never really got into it tho. Been wanting to but eh sitting in baxklog
I mean peak parts are mods
Its a suuuper timehog
Okay I shouldn't have said peak ngl
I have to many backlogs currently of long games as well
Feel ya
Like I could be playing those instead of wow
Its the thought of just how little time we have
Think about that 20 years of JUST wow
Nah cba cyberpunk tbh
Well tbh WoW was pretty good
Pretty certain my man has 2 have done others off air?
I mean dosen't matter if wow was pretty good
Remember BfA ?
If not respect for the years that made him rich
Missing on so many experiences because of one game kinda suck
Remember Legion ?
Barely. He mentioned that he missed out on everything the last 20 years due to wow
He was judt addicted to wow
I mean
Even if money wasn't part of it
I can't say shit about BFA
The thing is he was gonna play wow even if it didnt make him rich
So the money part isnt playing into it since he could also just sotp streaming ans take bteask etc
Mby. Not for 20years though?
well at least M+ was kinda dope
Which to my knowledge he never did
I think legion is overhyped
Legion is a lil overhyped
And shadowlands gets undeserved shit
Only lookin at raids
Shadowlands almost killed the game
Fr? Even the borrowed powers.were great
Once they unlocked
Properly
Whimsical quest lines as well
Do yoy like anything sir
I liked DF arms
Tazavesh was the only shadowlands dungeon I really liked
Once design ion wasnt shitty
Isn't s1 of everything expect this expac hard
Kinda yeah
S1 was hard it was just well...
But
Which im fine with. Im already 3500 and I ain't good players so sheug
Yeah design for SL S1 was ass
They locked us in half talent tress
@latent moss
Like it was 2 bad coz after we basicly had 3 or 4 ?? Hero talents
Vs 2 now?
Less distinct ofc
Exactly
And conduit energy was so fucking bad man
Imagine making a system that exclusively punishes people who wonna minmax
holy fucking mog
As i said, once unlocked awesome
So expansion in it self wasnt bad. But horrid design choices early
I loved sylvanas raid
Painsmith was genuinely fun
Then some super shitters
CRANK
Up to and ps sorry
Guardian of the snooze feast
Kelthuzad felt like letdown coz... well we wanted more
Fatescribe as rage bait
KT....I liked KT a bit but I didn't raid mythic
Slyvie prog was venthyr fury made me wonna KMS
I can maybe accept that
P1 was good
P1 was p alright ye
The intermissions werent
P2 shouldn't even exist
Like
And it would be fine
P2 sucked so much ass
Then again part of it is
I progged that as venthyr
and condemm was literally useless
I mean I was also fury
Twas arms ofc
And I killed it before blizz pulled the ripcord
Sweet
Not sweet
Yeah venthyr on slyvie felt like I was throwing ngl
I think Slyvie singlehandedly made me dislike longer fights
early season it ws 15
But it gave us awesome bosses in df
That werent that long
Fyrakk still my fav endboss
2 watch race,on
they were actually good
Gotta agree
Dragon friends and enemies
Aside from Aug crapping on S2, DF was genuinely fun
I think the only part of DF S2 that sucked was the M+ trinkets were garbage
Aug shat on everythin
You had one that was worth ur time
Like now?
ehhhh
I think M+ at least has solarflare and Heart to lean on
I'd say puzzlebox but fuck that POS
you at least have 2 okay options
But vs raid
yeah vs raid they suck
Same gap
we need gladiator stance back
But I'm kinda okay with that
warriors try not to hug their Glad stance body pillow: Challenge: Impossible
Ideally 1 bis from each imho
Yeah I think that's fair
I don't think the trinket situation is anywhere near as bad DF S2 was thou
Esp with coin system
I think that was the most fun warrior has ever been, imo
I know
I just have to poke fun at it
honestlky gonna sound crazy
I kinda miss DF arms
even if it had problems like rage and IV that I didn't like
- I like that DF had some pretty varied gameplay from Season to season
is colossus still the best performing warrior hero tree?
For keys?
yeah
for keys
just picking up a warrior atm
wondering if slayer fury or arms arent too far behind
i guess this kinda answers my question lol
I am definitely not playing puzzle box anymore, so annoying to use
Define best performing. As in overall damage of key. ST bosses. Aoe etx
we are back to slayer?
Both good rn. Slayer has the better ST. Less overall and aoe then colo
just overall DPS check
I mean colo has the better overall for a key. But without funnel it has dog shit boss damage
Has better aoe then slayer
I love to play colossus, but single target is depressing
yeah i mean
slayer is deffo better in pugs
exept like yesterday i did a 18 pos where i got funnel as col
was amazing
I just do my best and let the other 2 dps figure it out when I play colo
But play what you like
but this doesnt tell full story
id say slayer arms > thane
for a dungeon clear speed
coz u got way more focused dmg
and the aoe tbh on slayer mt is ok
Prio damage do be cracked and important
mass aoe is SO overrated
in a grp
Id rather let the Ret kill more small mobs
while i makesure big ones die from sexecution like abilities 😉
ofc Collosus also does this very very well so like thats the main str of col
not the actual AOE which is nice and all
but its the focus "aoe" thats madness a
colo arms > slayer arms > thane, in your opinion?
i mean if ideal conditions yes
Yes
if not slayer > colo > thane
100%
idc
and also in like skyreach + aa
id say slayer > col > thane

on paper thane is rly good, but the Mass AOE of thane is so unfocused shitters die, and u end up killin 3 mobs
bladestorm is so fun to hit
and dmg drops
I think Colossus is better if they fit the role and the tank uses funnel
i mean in the dungeons u can yes
Slayer is the safe pick
ONLY if funnel lives long enough btw 😄
Also the better pick in some dungeons
im just having a hard time picking between fury slayer or arms slayer
so if funnels lasts halfway through boss... then u got 15% more until u can start spammin execute and dmg goes up
its not hard for M+ its arms
funnel + prio dmg is better
i see
Yeah Fury doesn't really compete with Arms
gotcha
Until they brake lightning strikes again
like u will hit wall of skill b4 spec matters atm
Also fury has the adv of not feeling like ASS Without a shaman
so theres also that
like slayer arms works without, but like with is just a lot better
as fury u dont notice rly
Yeah but they do negative prio
I tried it after the patch and it felt terrible compared to either Arms spec
Isn't fury slayer prio the same tho
No
You're spamming ramp and exe anyways
This evening i will test slayer arms in m+. I really really like Bladestorm. Its the ultimate arms immersion for me.
i mean prio being only main target slayer does well
i did 17s and tried some 18s
it does very well
easier to play
Nice to hear
main issue vs col is the lack of tankiness
and being willing to actively use Dstance a lot more
I've ran pretty much all my keys this week as slayer. Some fury keys to test buffa
Ran pit once on colo then 2 on slayer
Colossus feels bit clunky but also fun
nono collosus is super clunky
Colo feels smooth in aoe for me imo
due to rav not aligning
Yes
and if theres any kind of RP // long movement
But slayer feels pretty good besides rage
well stacks are gone get recked
God help our rage
I prefer Colossus aoe over Slayer by a lot
slayer has little rage issue
Im fine with it
Its not bad
Im not fine with running out of rage
Tactician proc rate is the real issue, halving it for most skills coming from tww and then not buffing rage gen
Too many dry spells without a proc at 30%
yup
10 op is a lot
its more about like giving me something to press imho
idm it being Slam slam slam slam
when im unlucky AF
but if im struggeling for rage or gettin a lot of procs i dont mind if OP goes up in prio
I dont want to hsve to be lucky for damage imo
