hey lads, anyone willing to help me? I'm not entirely sure where am I doing wrong as Arms on midnight falls, but I feel like I am doing smth wrong and I cannot tell what exactly

wintry scroll
#

is this valid

#

my cleave damm might've been too low

#

should position better

languid torrent
#

slayer kinda fucks in AA

hybrid needle
#

slayer kinda fks everyhwere

#

its a great time to be alive

vivid current
#

Arms gang is so up rn

languid torrent
#

you will have to pull colo out of my cold dead hands before i swap to slayer in pit

minor gust
#

Yes if you get a circle in that area just back up and charge

languid torrent
# vivid current 💯💯

if you have a monk, you can para the necro right before the first boss and all the lil shit adds that never die will come to the boss and you have 5 target cleave

Yo guys I noticed that the wowhead guide for Warrior doesn't have a Slayer M+ build, just has Slayer raid and Colossus M+. I want to start with Slayer in M+ too though, where's the best place to find the best talents for it if not wowhead guide?

flat willow
#

there is one

tranquil swift
#

col arms in keys are so fucking crazy. obvi the st is eh. i plan on playing col in all but AA and sky reach. for slayer, is it pretty much cds, bladestorm, then cleave and exe? with MS OP etc as fillers?

finite cradle
# flat willow there is one

d'oh!! I saw the talent builds on the front page of the guide and assumed that was it. but if you go to the builds specific page it has more. thx brudda

flat willow
#

op is above ms

#

rend is also above ms

#

(even if rend is already on targets)

#

in aoe, I mean

hybrid needle

Oh ok so not that bad

whats the most common mistakes for low dps in raids?

tacit crystal
#

i was asking the robot

tacit crystal
granite stone
#

i wasted 26% of my rage, so presumably im doing some kind of feast and famin and not poolying correctly to get MS off?

thick kelp
#

do you even have slam keybound

#

sounds near impossible to waste rage

granite stone
#

looks like thats a problem as well, i cast it 4 times...

yeah no shit

i just wanted to nuke my ekey

This is insane

tranquil swift
#

At what point do you hold demolish for CS? 10 sec or less?

toxic osprey
#

193K overall on a +13 Trium with an Aug, i was happy then i saw on the logs, 149K overall sadga

#

Still my best overall so its ok

rose matrix
#

I hate Aug as warrior

#

I feel like we get nothing from them

nova marsh
#

I hate aug in general

wind hatch
vast drum
#

How big of a dmg loss is not having a shaman in keys?

nova marsh
#

Depends

#

All the builds on wowhead need skyfury kinda. This one dosen't really.

slow flame
#

Does the rotation change with this one compared to frozen bozo build

stable fiber

dont worry about it

there is a haste cap in game anyways

#

yeah

like someone got the number to show like 2.6 billion

#

or whatever that number is

#

rotund lark
#

Skyreach colosus or slayer?

rare kite
#

slayer

hybrid needle
#

always slayer

rotund lark
#

thanks

#

What happens if im shit, does that change things?

hybrid needle
#

dont play 20+ and youre gucci

#

noone will notice

tranquil swift
#

The only 2 must run slayer is AA and sky rigjt?

#

Col is good for all others?

rotund lark
#

thank you bro

uneven minnow
#

when is NXP ring set better than double crit haste? in ST or AoE?

rose matrix
#

I think for Slarms it's just better in general

#

But it is stronge for ST worse for aoe

uneven minnow
#

gtcha

rose matrix
#

More crit matters for Colossus so you lose more to take the set vs playing slayer

uneven minnow
#

rn I'm just out ilvling my hero set

#

with 6/6 wedding band

toxic osprey
#

Hate the dungeon because of the first pull when i'm useless watching range + others classes just destroy the pack (even tank)

rose matrix
#

Yea it's pretty rough on Arms

#

It's also pretty easy to get seperated from it

clever wave
#

I’ve been going arms for AA and fury for everything else idk what it is about that key but I feel like Slarms makes it too easy with all the worms and the first pull

#

But that first pull makes me sad

elder zodiac
#

is anyone having an issue especially at a M+ start where stuff does not load in? as in like, circles to avoid and such

tranquil swift
#

Col life baby

#

So much damage makes me want to fucking shed a tear

shadow osprey
sacred summit
#

is there a difference between using 2-3 cleaves and putting them on cd and bladestorming after or bladestorming immediately after cs?

#

does it change at all case by case

brisk hamlet
#

Just starting to learn arms for the first time, what's the better training wheels hero talent, and what should I look to transition into as I get more comfortable with playing Arms?

stable mountain
brisk hamlet
#

I'll take it as gospel, I'm a slayer main now. Watch out pugs. I'm omw to ruin your day

stable mountain
#

transitioning is learning both ig but both specs good overall slayer has more st for things like AA , Skyreach

#

Slayer is overall easier to pull off in pugs i feel too

brisk hamlet
#

Are there any reliable mainstay content creators I should be on the lookout for, for learning purposes? Or is it a pick your poison kind of deal

stable mountain
#

Bizentein, critcake, pilav , noxiv atm seems to be playing slayer arms

#

bizentein can be very helpful okayge

brisk hamlet
#

I really appreciate the answers! Thanks!

sacred summit
#

its that just me? do u know why

stable mountain
#

slayer arms or slayer fury

#

and more than colo?

sacred summit
#

slayer arms

stable mountain
#

maybe his team needs more st boss or he enjoys it more

sacred summit
#

maybe its just a coincidence that hes playing slarms when i see his vids/streams idk

stable mountain
#

slarms is very fun so maybe he is just having fun with it I think both specs are viable

sacred summit
#

👍

stable mountain
#

but could just be the comp needs more st boss dmg

#

so he playing it more

sacred summit
#

ye i play both/idm both. was curious if slarms st was needed in keys over 20 since there are a decent number of bosses where u cant bring ads into boss

#

ye

stable mountain
sacred summit
spring vale
#

Ahh

sacred summit
#

i guess ud use cleaves first while adds are being gathered if tank is still pulling/chain pulling then hit a fatty bs? but then again, if tank is pulling a lot more ud probably wanna just hold cs if possible

spring vale
#

Maybe the cleaves first are better to get the duration extension on Csmash and then rip the bladestorm at the end

stable mountain
#

i swap between both and it seems to be the same

sacred summit
#

cleave and bs are both major sources of damage so sending cleave so we can get another one in after bs makes sense to me but getting bs on cd asap also makes sense
altho since bs cd is irregular and luck based maybe using cleaves first doesnt matter and may be better for getting 1 more cleave in?

#

i see ppl doing both in logs

#

ik there are some rotational things in the wowhead guide that is redacted for simplicity's sake and is a relatively minor difference

stable mountain
#

yea its just whatever my brain tells me is what i do

#

me do big spin or cleave hmm

sacred summit
elder zodiac
#

it's weird, nothing displays, then all of a sudden they all loads at once

#

but it's like the first 10ish seconds of the pull

pearl shore
#

why do I have a damage penalty? 😄

wraith lichen
pearl shore
#

oh yea lol

#

must have fatfingered it in town

tranquil swift
#

Is slarms dps in high keys equivalent or close to Col?

sacred zodiac
#

Col should be higher always but they just have a different damage pattern

tacit crystal
#

also where they do damage is different

tranquil swift
#

I noticed all the top guys seem to play it so just wasn’t sure

sacred zodiac
tacit crystal
#

i mean having actual damage to bosses is nice

#

spongus

tacit crystal
tranquil swift
#

@sacred zodiac how does slarms compare to fury specs? Has the lead on em?

tacit crystal
#

that guy does not do keys

#

i think its again favoring boss damage

pearl shore
#

I guess slayer should be better in comps that lack a bit of ST damage no? When you cant pull funnel targets into boss fights slayer might just be the better choice no?

tacit crystal
#

it also lets others go for more aoe

sacred zodiac
#

play slarms if you need boss damage and col if your team can build around your genuinely good aoe damage but sub par st damage

#

slarms probably best if you're just pugging and cant trust your teammates

#

and any arms spec > any fury spec

sacred summit
#

do u guys always bs immediately after cs

tacit crystal
#

yes

sacred summit
#

or do u sometimes send cleaves

tacit crystal
#

only thing youd press over bs

#

is execute with sd

sacred summit
#

cuz technically if u spam the free cleaves right after cs then bs, by the end of bs, cleave will come off cd and technically u get 1 more cleave and +1s to cs

tacit crystal
tacit crystal
sacred summit
#

i did have someone tell me a few weeks ago that according to the api bs right after cs and cleave before bs was the same

sacred summit
#

what changed to make it like that?

nova marsh
#

Guys

#

If u could get tanks to do something what would u do

sacred zodiac
#

learn how to position perfectly in raid

nova marsh
#

Just raid?

sacred zodiac
#

i only care about the real content

tranquil swift
#

@sacred zodiac thanks for that info spongie! Honestly with how bad Col st is, I bet the st slayer brings almost makes up for the less aoe. Rotation didn’t seem bad. I’ll play around with it tonight!

sacred zodiac
#

honestly if you care more about timing keys than being at the top of the dps meter you should just play slayer until youre in like 20s lol

tranquil swift
#

In 20s back to col?

#

I’m at like 17s now need 2 more

rose matrix
#

honestly

sacred zodiac
# tranquil swift In 20s back to col?

this isnt a thing that you can decide with a checklist, you should be considering your level of skill with either talent setup and what you think your key needs

rose matrix
#

You can stay slarms in 20-21

sacred zodiac
#

if you want to turn brain off you just play whatever you want up till 20s and then you play slayer for AA and npx? iirc idk and col for everything else

rose matrix
#

Sr is slarms too

#

Seat and Pit are for sure Colossus

flat willow
#

slayer owns in MT as well

#

probably less overall but (maybe) better for timer

rose matrix
#

Yea MT you can probably get away with either but Colossus is troll on the last boss

#

Spire you could go Slayer too

#

Or just swap

tranquil swift
#

I’m just lazy and don’t like mastering 2 specs, so would rather pick one and go 😂

rose matrix
#

As long as you can survive I think Slayers is playable

silent parcel
#

is it now slayer for arms ?!?!

toxic osprey
#

Do the flask count for the recklessness pot ? i've got crit > haste but when i pot haste it's haste > crit
Does that mean the recklessness pot will give me haste instead of crit ?

tired nova
#

pretty easy to test for you as well

hybrid needle
#

you probably just had a haste procc which happen frequently, thats why most people dont like it

toxic osprey
#

Yeah, don't wanted to waste gold but yeah, should've do it myself, i'm dumb

toxic osprey
hybrid needle
#

Well, im not really familiar with reck pot, ngl. I just use lights potential and zugzug. Easy way out

toxic osprey
#

Or i stay like that but just wait the heart passif proc so it's crit

#

And i think the trinket proc in like 1-2 sec on the beginning of the fight ?

hybrid needle
#

i also juust learned that appearantly this exists

#

whoops

icy mulch
#

What does this add on do?

hybrid needle
#

ive got no idea

#

appearantly its supposed to be like blizzard one buutton manager helper but as addon

icy mulch
#

5.5 mil ppl, that seems strange. Makes me expect a virus.

hybrid needle
#

hmmm you think ?

#

doesnt curseforge has virus checks by default anyways

night pumice
#

Is there any decent myth track trinkets that I could roll on from m+ if I dont raid or i really should try to raid to get those two?

toxic osprey
icy mulch
#

Heart of Winds - Windrunner Spire - passive, haste proc trinket
Solarflare Prism - Skyreach -passive, crit proc

hybrid needle
#

I really, really recommend pugging dreamrift. Its pretty simple

night pumice
#

Ye I was thinking pugging dreamrift and then maybe prism I hate puzzlebox tbh

icy mulch
#

Puzzlebox is meh for arms. Kinda needed for Fury, but ass to use for both.

rose matrix
#

Why do players with the best buffs in the game seem to never rebuff if someone dies

#

They need to add a raid buff tracker to the base game

hybrid needle
#

idk man. When i randomly die i also have to yell at the shaman to rebuff me

calm hollow
#

nexus 2nd boss got executed on 10, lmao

Dude I love when Blizzard had that entire thing last xpac about making visuals easier to see

Then just said fuck that this time around

#

@minor gust did i press enough exe there?

lean geode
#

I'd expect their UI/UX design folks would've chimed in but who knows

hybrid needle
#

how do you guys level from 70 to 90 these days

#

@nova marsh
👀

nova marsh
#

Confusion

spring vale
#

70-80 isnt too bad, just do the TWW recap or TWW delves + their quest

#

it goes by quick

#

80-90 though is kinda ass, I do every delve + its quest and then the eversong woods part of the campaign + finish off with either voidstorm or zulaman, or Timewalking dungeons if they're around

hybrid needle
#

TWs are around, but 3 dungeons per level is kinda... yikes

spring vale
#

eversong campaign + sidequests arent terrible but

#

still not fast at alkl

nova marsh
#

I usually just do side quests + delves

toxic osprey
#

And you can exp with profession when you do first recipe

spring vale
#

yems you get like 30? first time crafts worth of exp

#

It's almost a full level

hybrid needle
#

so basically the follow the arrow rouute with extra professions

#

?

nova marsh
#

I mean ye

twin hazel
#

anyone done this:

nova marsh
#

follow the arrow can work

twin hazel
hybrid needle

arent myth crests super easy on alts anyways

yeah id argue the voidcores are harder on alts maybe if your gonna do it that way

hybrid needle
short crescent
hybrid needle
#

Meh, its not too bad

nova marsh
#

ngl

#

it was so much worse when valorstones existed sometimes

#

Either you had infinite valor stones for the whole season or you didn't

languid torrent
#

yea valorstones were horrible. valor s1 of DF was also so bad

#

i remember spamming +2 CoS keys in order to farm valor

nova marsh
#

I genuinely don't remeber valor in S1 ngl

#

But I imagine it was probally bad

languid torrent
#

i remember it being an upgrade going from valor to valorstones

nova marsh
#

Oh it was

#

because valor was trash

#

Like

#

Valor was an omega half baked system

hybrid needle
#

At least it was transferable... i guess

nova marsh
#

Literal only benefit over the current one tbh

hybrid needle
#

A benefit is a benefit okayge

nova marsh
#

fair enuff

hybrid needle
#

Not even the gear catchup mechanic from the assaults is warbound soo

sudden yew
#

Which dungeon should I use Colossus or Slayer in?

hybrid needle
#

If youre pugging go slayer in all.
If not play slayer in aa, ws, sr

languid torrent
#

with the changes to colo last patch, its alot more pug friendly

sacred raft
#

Yeah I mainly pug on Colossus

sudden yew
#

And which stats should I prioritize/cap? Because I’m not doing much damage with my CDs used as Slayer.

sacred raft
#

Crit and haste are your friends

hybrid needle
#

If youre used to col go for it, slayer is just easier. Dont care if tank jumps around randomly

languid torrent
#

first whatever the robot tells you when you compare gear. but slayer tends to want a bit more haste, and colo tends to want a bit more crit

languid torrent
#

but its ST dam and outside damage windows suffers

sudden yew
#

Is it viable to play Slayer in all +20s and still do good damage?

hybrid needle
#

Absolutely

sacred raft
#

ST will be even more important at those key levels too

sudden yew
#

How much damage should I be doing to not be trolling in a +20?

hybrid needle
#

As long as you arent last by a mile compared to your team its not trolling. There never is an correct answer to that question

sudden yew
#

Thanks a lot for clearing up my doubts.

hybrid needle
#

Ive seen kha do 220 in an npx, ive seen others with 180 in an npx and still doing fine in the key

sudden yew
#

Where do you think the difference is between one warrior and another?

clever crag
#

what are the slayer keys now ?

#

AA,Skyreach mandatory ofc

hybrid needle

Positioning and uptime

#

Where do u see seat

clever crag
#

you said pugging go all

#

to carry on bosses or why ?

hybrid needle
#

Oh, that part.
Well, you absolutely can play slayer in it if you really want to.
Col is stronger yes but do you HAVE to play it? No

clever crag
#

Id rather the 3rd boss go quicker tho

#

that is a pos

hybrid needle
#

If Philiam can 21pug it onnslayer so can we

full obsidian
#

yall arent runnin slayer

languid torrent
#

yall arent swapping between the two regularly depending on dungeon and comp

full obsidian
#

no need just ride or die

runic rock
#

in mythic+ slayer do we use MS with 2 stacks of executioners precision outside of colossus smash?

languid torrent
#

i have said it once, ill say it a million times, its wild that warriors hate the idea of swapping between the two

clever crag
hybrid needle
#

how would i know

clever crag

same in pvp

Puzzlebox enjoyers, you using it on CD or matching it with CS

#

Well not cd, but are you guys holding it for use with other cooldowns like CS

Since we hold everything else for cs

where can i find the meta arms slayer build

nova marsh
#

Slayer does pretty well there too

tranquil swift
#

so is it safe and ok to play col in all dungeons, minus sky and AA?

wispy geode
#

Is puzzle box good for arms? Sim says fiber of agony is still better but the mastery on this is insane

nova marsh

Save yourself

#

don't do it

Don't deal with that annoying PoS

The puzzle box?

Only reason box felt good in DF was Ava tech

box makes you do insano burst damage

nova marsh

I mean yes box is personal pref

crude rapids
#

Playing colo arms on dragons prog seems like a bad idea no?

stable fiber
#

its good 2t damage, very good orb damage, tanky

#

slayer is better boss damage now though i think but orbs matter on that fight and colossus kills them better

crude rapids
#

Il see how it goes just been ook ooking as fury

stable fiber
#

mass grip is op for colossus

crude rapids
#

Yeah thats what I was thinking cos I'm right at the top for orb positions too 😅

clever wave
#

do we take mass execution ?

stable fiber
#

i always take powerful momentum

#

better for prio damage

nova marsh
clever wave
#

I went mass exe for the AA I just did

#

and it felt like better overall

#

i should've prob gone more prio

#

but we did it anyways

tranquil swift
#

SLAYR?

#

slayer* sorry caps lol

clever wave
#

yea slayer

#

only key I ever did as arms the rest fury

#

feels dirty

tranquil swift
#

how irt go dps wise?

clever wave
#

i did like 165k overall

#

on logs

#

wasn't the best

#

but i did my job

#

with dk aug

tranquil swift
#

how did it feel?

clever wave
#

we had 3 seconds left

#

lol

#

so it felt tight

#

but i don't really play arms

#

our splits were good tho

#

and slayer st is really nice

tranquil swift
#

nice dude!

#

are we taking mass execution in slayer or nah?

clever wave
#

I did, idk if it was right but thast what a lot of slayer dudes were doing in that key specifically

figured i'd take a drive by i nhere

tranquil swift
#

thanks!

steep tree
#

guys if i use a voidcore on this will it just become lvl 289 or will it's maximum ilevel become 298

#

do i need to fully upgrade it before using is my question

latent moss
#

u need to fully upgrade it i think but if u have a crafted already you can upgrade that and save crests then upgrade this one

stable mountain
#

dont think it gives you the option at all until its max upgrade

#

and you can do as slayer said to make this a free 6/6 myth

tranquil swift
#

I noticed avatar , CS and BS don’t always line up. What’s the rule with this. Send in CD? Hold avatar for BS/CS? is there a rule of thumb! Thanks!

Does the opener have overpower first cast to allow for the reset to actually matter?

balmy kindle
#

nope, you basically do the same things except u use MS after CS now

also when OP has tact proc u wanna send it because opp makes it hit VERY hard

For slayer, which keys are for bloodborne + battlelord VS Massacre + crit execute talent? Both seems ST talents but from different perspectives

Guys im a bit confused in which situations to use the talent Fierce Followthrough vs Opportunist. do you have any rule? (raid content)

fresh spire
#

can use either, all it effects is how you use mortal strike in execute, with fierce you use ms when ever you get 2x of Executioners Precision, with opportunist you only MS when CS is up and 2x EP while spending Opportunist procs>execute

thorn void
#

is there any macro one should know about for arms? :v

tranquil moth
fresh spire
#

nah

#

as long as you either do the 2 above every other talent options line up

#

actions.slayer_execute+=/mortal_strike,if=buff.executioners_precision.stack=2&(debuff.colossus_smash.up|talent.fierce_followthrough&(talent.martial_prowess|buff.tactical_edge.up|talent.battlelord))|dot.rend_dot.remains<2

#

EPx2 + CS or Fierce talented + (Talent MP/ Tactical Edge up/ Battlelord talented)

wooden lava
#

look at this guy

#

is he cooking?

#

he completely separated avatar from CS and BS for the crystals in P1 and just sent it

#

which let him line it up amazing for p3 and he fucking crankedddddd

wooden lava
#

the issue is, until the lust in P3, he always had desynced CDs

#

but the numbers don't lie

umbral linden
wooden lava
#

he even ended up getting two avatars in P4

#

and it seems to be working consistently

#

he is 5 of the top 10 logs

#

his P3 rng variance is insane

#

when would you pick slayer over colossus in high m+ keys?

flat willow
#

in keys where there is a lot of bosses where you can't bring funnel/your group already has a lot of aoe and you wan't more ST

#

algethar academy and skyreach are probably the 2 keys where slayer is the most "mandatory"

#

which is really sad cuz your first pull of academy as slayer will be atrociously low ( even if you are useful with high prio target on the lashers )

barren void
#

The rest is pad anyways doesnt matter

astral talon
#

gentlemen

#

i have fuckton of crests left, i have most bis items, i do have crit/haste wrists, but i have no place to get 2nd crafted item with embelish

#

do I just get it on wrists, that are already mythic, or boots, which i dont have mythic yet

soft peak
#

wrist and cloak

pearl shore
#

bullshit

#

sim your char, do the highest upgrade

#

can still recraft to wrists once you got mythic boots

astral talon
#

not gonna be doing 20 recrafts, cba

#

and mythic boots drop from vorasius

#

and legs

#

and trinket

#

xd

#

or was it hands?

#

either way

#

i can spend crests on upgrading wrists, or get crafted there xd

pearl shore
#

then do whatever you feel like

#

but don't pretend you want actual advice when you really just want confirmation even though your plan is suboptimal

astral talon
#

my questioin was about slot mostly

pearl shore
#

yes, and boots have a higher stat budget than wrists. That's the reason "progress bis" crafts vary from "final bis" crafts.

#

During progress you don't have mythic items on every slot available yet you want your higher stat budget slots as high ilvl as possible

#

So it makes sense to craft on these slots early on (that's why basically every class crafts weapons first)

#

Only later in progression where you can have mythic items on every slot you want your crafts to be on low stat budget item slots since they will be 4 ilvl lower than max ilvl, that's why your "final bis" crafts are wrist and cloak

#

Yet still boots are risky

#

If you plan to bonus roll on vorarius and chimaerus for trinkets, you might get boots pretty quick

#

Then I wouldn't craft boots

#

if you don't raid, then i would craft there probably for now

paper gulch
sacred zodiac
#

boots kinda horrible craft slot with so many early bosses dropping boots

pearl shore
#

yea, like I said. If you're raiding I wouldn't craft boots

sacred zodiac
#

dont need to properly raid to pug chim + first 2

pearl shore
#

didn't say properly

#

some people just never set foot into a raid

sacred zodiac
#

if you dont raid at all then you dont need crafting advice for your weekly 10s

#

no one is pushing high keys without being aware of them needing to pug at least a little of the raid

pearl shore
#

there is a subset of m+ pushing guys that never raid

#

i think you could even get 0.1% title without ever raiding mythic

#

only problem are the trinkets really and I think puzzle box and skyreach on myth track would be fine enough

old mulch
#

quick question just clarifying - in aoe: for colo ms>op but slayer op>ms?

#

do we send avatar and ravager together or do we accept they desync and just send with smash in M+

torn rivet
#

yo guys

#

in raiding, i often have fairly volatile parses. Some times it's ~70, other times even 96-98. Is this all based on procs? (and sham buff mostly) but is this just because of proc fluctuation in burst scenarios, feast & famine, etc? I swear I can't point out any mistake I'm doing at this point

pearl shore
#

can arms somehow remove roots?

feral breach
pearl shore
#

do you ever play colossus when pugging higher keys when you're not sure your tank will pull stuff into boss fights?

limber river
#

Even if the tank doesn’t pull shut into bosses slayer just does more dps single target, I legit only play col if there is already a strong prio dps in the group

pearl shore
#

when simming 3+ targets I do more prio dmg as colossus

#

and more dps in general

#

slayer only pulls ahead in purely ST scenarios

olive nest
#

yes thats normal

pearl shore
#

so colossus should be the better prio dps and better aoe option, no?

olive nest
#

yes, it is

pearl shore
#

but when your group doesn't pull for you it's turbo shit on bosses

olive nest
#

you know it

slow saddle
#

How big is gap at 3t on prio target?

#

I still feel like i so pretty damn good as slayer

leaden garnet
#

I default to Colo and only play Slayer on really bad Colo keys

#

e.g. Skyreach, AA

slow saddle
#

I player on all

leaden garnet
#

Even then I'm tempted to run Colo on AA because it does so much more overall

slow saddle
#

But thats a hooorid measurement

#

Esp aa

#

First pull is just big lasher, rest is pad

leaden garnet
#

It is a generally true statement that Colo does more overall than Slayer, regardless of dungeon

slow saddle
#

But its so irrelevant

#

Str of col is the funnel, mass aoe is incidental slayer offers a bit less funnel to higher st

#

And less dependancy on m+ grp

leaden garnet
#

Yes, true statements

#

Does not change the fact that Colo provides higher overall, which means faster keys

#

quick question: wowhead guide multi target rotation means 2+ targets right?

#

Hey gamers

I'm leveling up my Arms right now, currently level 87. Tryin to learn as I go

I discovered Wrecking Throw kinda fuckin blasts. It seems to do more dmg 1:1 than anything else I have besides maybe execute. Why isn't this in the rotation?

Suppose people wanna save it for the anti shield function, or a gcd while at range, but if I'm feelin froggy seems fine to throw out normally too yeah? Cus it chunks?

finite cradle
#

i know

mortal crag
#

it is on the rotation, if u have nothing to press

#

thing is, it doesnt generate rage (or consume any tbf) and doesnt have any real amplifiers besides colo/ava

finite cradle
#

oh i haven't seen it listed on any prioritys in guides

#

so im not crazy then tho, ppl do press it

mortal crag
#

yeah because from a rotational standpoint it doesnt interact

#

with anything

#

e.g. u can fish overpower resets with slam procs

#

u can fish mortal strike resets with overpower procs (battlelord etc)

finite cradle
#

ya thats what i was thinkin, it doesnt really move anything forward like the rest

#

but if i just wanan burst something seems good to hit then, or def if i have nothing else

#

checks out

mortal crag
#

also

#

wt does less damage tahn my slam

#

on colossus

#

so probs leveling/gear scaling as well

#

matter of fact wt does same damage as rend

#

(25-27k on dummy)

finite cradle
#

Ahhh I see, the other things are gonna outscale it too

#

Ok now it's lack of mention in the guides is making more sense

#

Cus yeah it's like two slams for me

#

rn

toxic osprey
#

It's a powerful (imo) 3 sec silence range, can save some situation with it like in Chim MM if the adds that fear spawn far away

#

But "that's it", still good to shred shield in mono

mortal crag
#

the only time id press it in a rotation is if literally have nothing to press

#

no rage and no overpower ig

finite cradle
#

I was playin with Bloodsurge talent earlier and I like never ran out of rage as long as I did the priority properly

but now i'm playin without it and I do run out sometimes. always makes me feel like such a noob, but sounds like it does just happen sometimes eh

brazen sun
#

hi there fellas . how much haste to play slayer arms

latent basin
#

If you wonder wich stats should you aim for i reccomend you use raidbots and select the TOP GEAR section

brazen sun
#

thanks for info

mortal crag
#

but yeah, warr just stacks crit/haste til sims tell u to stop doing that

#

(which is very high btw, im at like 1k both almost)

my bad im over 1k both

question to this actually, "Execute during sudden death or near rage cap"
What we do if not near rage cap? Just follow regular single target?

during exe prio?

ye

You follow the prio list and ignore the top half

that's my iq check for the day

it says when to reapply it but never when to use it first, the opener doesn't show it too

for colossus are we going the old build or martial prowess?

fossil stag
#

nvm i cant read

broken spear
#

Hey guys sometimes in M+ aoe my demolish will come up like 15+ seconds before colossus smash is back off cd, do i still hold it to send em together in that case or try to sneak one extra in?

short crescent
#

listen I'm trying to reinforce the "warriors can't read" bit here but you are making it hard

#

xD, apply is way down there for ST

fossil stag
#

that sneaky little "to apply or"

#

thats why i asked the original question, i missed it

thorn void
short crescent
#

I think you hold it for double demo

#

CS, Demo, MS, Cleave x3, MS and you are probably close to demo'ing again within the window

thick kelp

aoe send it ST hold

if you want st really bad just play slayer

Am i missing something? i do way less damage with this build than the martial prowess

Taking martial prowess is a minor st gain for a minor aoe loss

but taking mass execution is higher overall

still rapids

Alright thanks

barren vortex
#

is there a good guide going over the rotations? a few times in M+ colossus smash and demolish will end up about split 15 seconds and I was wondering if its better to let it rip or hold until they sync

cobalt lodge

so i saw that arms climbed a few spots; is it good in most raid encounters now or still really bad outside of paladin fight?

yo lads, on m+ in ST do you send cleave too or nah?

umbral badger
torn rivet
#

lol fair

#

forgot to mention, talking abt slayer. Still unsure whether to rock slayer or colo in M+

umbral badger
#

oh slayer never needs to think about cleave short or long answer :p;

#

colossus can find "situations" where they can Cleave on ST still" primarily only on lats boss execute phase with ravager up"

tranquil swift
#

On opener for Col, obviously as rank is gathering we are building stacks. Do we avatar cs then cleave 3 times to get the 10? Or do we send demo right after CS on opening pull? Usually if I do that I have like 6-8 stacks

maiden moon
#

sorry to ask but what are the spell or conditions that reduces demolish cd ?

crystal rain
#

full colossal might stacks

#

then when you would get more stacks you get cdr instead

maiden moon
#

alright, that means ms give 1 stack and cleave possibly 3 ?

crystal rain
#

With sweeping you can get alot more

maiden moon
#

makes sense

#

thanks for the quick response

MS can give up to 4

at least you guys get to play, i got benched for arms being "awful for lura" because they saw crit swapped to fury??

once i realised it wasnt for any melee restrictions etc it was for "arms bad lol" i cba

In that vid Crit even said that playing Fury isnt necessary

Fatebound is all passive pm right, nothing to pay too much attention to?

nova marsh

mostly ye

#

there are only two real big chanegs for fatebound

#

spend at 5 and don't pre pop AR

#

before u pull boss

#

well okay

#

spend Dispatch at 5

hybrid needle
#

Yeh since its all about le coins u cant really plan around anything so it doesnt Affect your rotation at all right

nova marsh
#

aside from it makes spending at 5 very good, yeah it dosen't affect much

hybrid needle
#

I think spending at 5+ has ALWAYS been the rule of thumb regardless

wind hatch
hybrid needle
#

Can you gimme a tldr for trickstee

ionic mica
#

cba to argue other people out of a spot if its not obvious

nova marsh
#

Trickster is more annoying:
You don't need to stay in the smoke, just dip in once you cast and then at some point before the 10 seconds ends and the buff expires for full duration
Spend at 6+ exclusively
Try and spend Coup at max Combo points for a big burst of CDR
You can spend Killing Spree at 5, and I think you can cancel it early once at max points for a small gain or loss

#

oh

ionic mica
#

theyre also only one night in and already have people complaining so idk how long some of them will even last progging p1

nova marsh
#

cancel Spree early if ur about to cap on energy

wind hatch

oh

and you're playing trickster

Cancelling killing Spree sounds like a massive Design Flaw. It always was THE ability for combat rogues

nova marsh
#

Law needs one sword

#

OH dagger is about a 1% gain against a second sword of same ilvl

#

Other then that, seems like the same stat prio for both

sudden owl
#

false

hybrid needle
#

So 2 daggers not viable ?

sudden owl
#

all of your pistol damage scales off your offhand damage

nova marsh
nova marsh
#

Zero in matters more

#

And like

vagrant hull
#

Puzzle box users. In M+ are you holding it for cs or using situationally by itself based on pulls?

nova marsh
#

I'm 90% sure that's not super relevant

#

also if it was false

sudden owl
#

oh i think i misread what you're trying to say

#

you want high ilvl in both slots as outlaw > everything

tardy crag
#

6

sudden owl
#

because between the eyes and pistol shot scale off of your offhead weapon dps

nova marsh
hybrid needle
#

Is Outlaw far ahead over assa

vagrant hull
nova marsh
#

I don't think so?

sudden owl
#

in raid yes in keys no

hybrid needle
#

In keys specifically. I enjoy spamming tempest until everything is bleeding. Cant tell u why but it increases my dopamine levels

nova marsh
#

ele or enhance?

hybrid needle
#

What?

nova marsh
#

OH

sudden owl
#

no in keys assa is technically the most powerful guy last i checked

nova marsh
#

CRIMSON TEMPEST

#

LOL

sudden owl
#

of the rogue guys

#

you will not have fun if your tank doesnt pull huge or mobs die too fast tho

hybrid needle
#

So youre saying Outlaw more pug friendly

nova marsh
#

Probally yeah

#

sub too

wide apex
#

outlaw also seems more succesful in m+ than assa right now or

hybrid needle
#

Outlaw always is 55-60% overall dmg with blade flurry. Seems boring

nova marsh
#

It's not actually

#

Bladeflurry is just...counted oddly as far as I can tell

wide apex
#

its more fun than fury

nova marsh
#

It'd be like if fury WW counted all the damage of WW stacks as WW

hybrid needle
#

Well, fury is literally 2 buttons during burst

#

For... 30 seconds

wide apex
#

yeah to me outlaw is like a fun fury spec

hybrid needle
#

Would you rank assa or Outlaw as more fun and which one is simpler considering you play fatebound on both

#

Probably assa eh? Assa is easy af

wide apex
#

assa is easier imo

nova marsh
#

I dont like dots

wide apex
#

you mostly follow your plan

#

outlaw is reacting more

hybrid needle
#

The wowhead for both speccs seem so scuffed

nova marsh
#

Assa easier and probably more consistent

#

Bro

#

U should see

#

The sub wowhead page

#

That shit feels omega scuffed

wide apex
#

havent tried sub but that spec looks ??? to me

#

like what is even left

nova marsh
#

Press tech in shadow dance

hybrid needle
#

Burst from subs is crazy tho

nova marsh
#

The burst is great

wide apex
#

yeah idc about numbers

hybrid needle
#

Ive seen them pull 350-400k singletarget on m+ bosses for half a minute

nova marsh
#

Deepening shadows is a thing

#

And has the most jank interaction with guidon

hybrid needle
#

Question

#

Do you seriously use fan of Knives for 2 targets?
Feels like it doesnt generate any cp

nova marsh
#

Irrc you dont in dance

#

Outside dance yes

#

Inside at 2 targ shadow strike is better

hybrid needle
#

That seems so wrong idk

#

I can KIND OF understand why assa does it, cause poisons.. but sub ?

nova marsh
#

I mean backstab is kinda ass

#

Like

hybrid needle
#

Meh, it is what it is.
Ill play assa for now and roll all my cores in pit, if it gets too boring ill craft a sword and try Outlaw ig

nova marsh
#

Backstab is df slam levels of bad imo

hybrid needle
#

I just hate that dance is just a casual ability now. Used to be a big cd with massive dam

#

And i need a break drom warr, depleting a 20aa by like 5 seconds gave me depression

nova marsh
#

Reccomend outlaw tbh

#

*no I am not a gambling addict(

hybrid needle
#

Idk how Outlaw works, never played it cause i dont vibe with pirates

#

Last time i played Outlaw pistolshot had a 20s cd and was used over dispatch as spender. So technically i lied

rose matrix
#

I'd say Outlaw is the best for M+

#

8 of the top 10 rogues are Outlaw

#

2 of them are Sub

nova marsh
#

Outlaw reminded me you can have actual good st in m+

deft bluff
#

We’re gonna get turbo nerfed after mdi aren’t we

Im seeing so much warrior
