I'm only up to doing 16s so I'm by no means an expert. Was just trying to offer some perspective to folks who were asking basic questions. Thank you both for the education this morning
You werent wrong about going Slayer when coming from Fury though
Slayer likes mastery a bit more
i still like it more than slayer but when doing weeklies and shit slayer is just
press buttons
no funnel no problem
110k st
I find it the opposite. When I play Slayer I feel rage starved. Having a shaman in groups helps.
Same here tbh haha
I'm probably pressing execute too much
slayer doesnt get as rage starved as much as col
overpower is a good button
dont ignore it
sd procs more and bs is an unskippable cutscene
and you get tons of sd procs for free globals ye
bro i swear demolish still canceuls ur auto
gotta love the cutscene
or delays it or something
yes it pauses it at the very least
👍
might even fully reset still idk
then takes an insane amount of time to start autoing again
God forbid we get a tracker for autos
i used to wait for auto then demo but i cant know anymore
but it's usually not that bad in keys imo since you usually auto and slap some mobs with stuff before you commit to cds anyway
yeah and bloodsurge is giant
in aoe
if u just avoid starving on opener
u wont starve ever in aoe
Fine, I will try Slayer again in my next push key. But when I brick it, I'll tell them to blame the Arms section of Skyhold
You will likely never brick a key because you didnt play the other hero spec ngl
Challenge accepted!
I agree. Just when I've played Slayer I felt like I wasn't pulling my weight in aoe. ST feels better than Col though
W pruning
I honestly dont mind the amount of buttons we have
Get rid of rav and avatar and its fine
same i just like making fun of it
Give us Bloodlust
Can't, too many buttons
Tank class with bl will never happen
Why?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Tank classes with BR is a thing.
Aren't we in a tank shortage right now?
Isn't part of Resto Shaman rise in popularity due to it having Bloodlust for the meta comp?
If they wanted tanks to have bl theyd have given us that long time ago Im sure
Didn't you say in a recent vid that you were glad you didn't have to play Colo?
yeah crit get gotcha'd
care to elaborate : D?
cc'ing 2 mobs, then pulling 2+ other mobs into boss
funnel until first 2 die and then the cc'd mobs arrive to be funneled from again
gg colo strong
I bet if you can plan you're while dungeon around always having 3+ mobs to hit, this game could be pretty fun
On Slayer, am I actually waiting for CS to send Bladestorm in M+? Don't you end up wasting a lot of CDR from sudden death?
i found
a screenshot
of arms pre all buffs and cleave nerfs
all 3 packs on vexamus
area
platform where the boss is
ye but cs is
insanely strong
i must be playing it completely incorrectly then but cba to go into log for review - ty tho
Hi guys, I'm looking for which trincket to use here for my 14/15 keys, I just wanna know which one's should be used until I get my raid BIS, ty !
sim is ur best answer
Based
Soul kind of sucks to pay attention to even if it sims better than your other two
guys i have HC gaze in my vault but when i sim it the sim tells me that Vorasius Mythic and belo hc trinked is the is better by over 2k is there a bug with Gaze or can i trust the sim?
Trust the sim
Did you compare the fully upgraded gaze with the void thing?
What dungo do you have in mind when u say this, I do skyreach and MT cc funnel, ik ppl started doing 1 Para on pit 2nd boss to extend 3target, but I can't even think of what 4mob pull is being brought into bosses
windrunner spire both wings
maisara 1st boss berserkers and bears
scroungers in npx
theres a lot
What are the other 2 elites your finding for emberwing?
Just taking spore into dragons insta and CCing the natty ghosts?
Besides the normal 2
i dont remember but we cc 2 of the elite elves early on when you get to that outside part
those 2 get added later to boss
M+ titte is based on faction or class oro overall
People said early that arms in pugs vs arms in premades was a big gap, and i disagreed at the time, felt like most pugs could set up basic funnel in the 20/21 range
But if we are getting played around to that extent. It's insane
yeah it's leveled up for sure
Makes sense the recent gap ive seen tho, my purple and blue 21s were getting crushed by ur recent logs
I don't understand the interaction between Thunder Clap and Rend. Rend deals instant damage right now, is this instant damage applied when you Thunder Clap, too? Or does Thunder Clap add only the DoT part to the enemies?
Only the rend dot is applied when you clap
wording is omega ass
unless ure already familiar with the class ure bound to be confused
So it's basically a damage loss to use Thunder Clap instead of Rend?
yep
got it. Seems like a trap =-)
I did, that's why I was stuck a bit
Or maybe for additional aoe aggro grab for prot?
How much we betting on FOB nerfs on top of losing our tier in 12.1

prot plays tc anyway
i dont think they really know or care
i wouldnt mind if it got nerfed and our st got buffed but the problem with this
in like max 2 seasons
they will just forget about it
and we will lose our funnel
since colo is still not meta and is still ass in raid
our set is insane anyway for aoe
cleave extending cs is crazy
cant wait to lose it with no compensation
the warrior way
ok but imagine this
they add it as 4th apex
Compensation will be fury level tier set (so complete ass)
fury is pretty good already even with non existent tier set
maybe next tier is the one

can they like
remove aug
or make it a tank or a real dps
genuinely worst addition to the game
and add gladiator
they could revive it by letting fury use spells with 2h and shield and give it a tank passive
more stamina armor and make shield block 2 charges by default
u would be insanely useless in any real content
but would be fun to be 4th dps in weekly keys ig

Good afternoon everyone, I used the wow analyzer, and I'm getting 41% of my errors wrong.You frequently skipped casting Execute when Sudden Death was present or your target was below 35% HP and you had at least 200 Rage Rage and your target was below 35% HP.
41% of mistakes,How can I improve? I need to use the "execute" function more often, because I only use it when it's triggered. Could someone help me with a simple way for me to understand? I'm new to Warrior.ty
did they ever change unhinged back to working with SS or does blizzard still hate us
they still hate us
no but ms doesnt even proc reap anymore
Youre not executing enough. You arent using your sudden death procs enough and during execute phase your not dumping your rage enough on execute. Basically spam execute more in the execute window.
hello, slayer enjoyers: what is the best build in overall?
CcEAjLzRlq54bI5v+r8Sr9Xw4jZmxsMzMzYGAAAghphxYmZbZmZmZYGzMAAAAAGbmB2iBsZGDLwAzoNaMYBMzwwgZzsNYmBAYmhB
thanks
np
What r the best M+ trinkets? I dont have guild and will never pug mythic raids, got only hero options at 285. So the M+ bonus rolls are my only chance to get myth track trinkets
Puzzle box and one from skyreach
Now give me answer i want to hear, not the puzzle box xd
I would like to, but groups fall apart after one wipe IF i ever get invited at all because everybody wants curved
Oh yea heart of wind maybe
Gaze sims worse than heart and box for some reason
hero vorasius and solarflare prism simmed best for me
I know! i have to use it on paladin and it sucks ass
i have 1200 crit too so prob more value if you have less
this shit clicking here today for some reason keeping up with the 285s in my group
still dog at st i must be just pressing buttons slow
Its like flat 23% dmg for warrior yet i hate the on use and cast time of it!
standing still for 2 s casting is actual trash tier behavior
but also: huge burst window
and the sim is probably baiting me a bit
because im running up to dudes im standing in a puddle etc
i even ran some donkey 30s-1min sims to try and convince myself to use it and they didnt do the trick
it was like 1.2% ahead there?
it's basically great for snapshotting super high numbers on big packs
or if a boss has a burst window, you play around it
post your #1 arms warrior wishlist change for 12.1
Sims dont really show burst windows or add spawns at specific timings, so take them with a grain of salt
a 30s sim surely shows a burst window no
it would yeah, scaling with target count
ya
Gimme rage generation back on op
Is all I really want
less rage management, specially in Colossus execute 
I think they should make this tier set a talent or just part of cs
Exe using less then 40 rage would be sick
so it was very marginally better on a 30s10t and a 1m10t
Also fix rage
Make it so we dont lose 10% dps just cause no shaman
Execute already uses flexible rage it does 20-40 scaling its damage linearly with the rage you spend 
mines 3 second bladestorm, after 100 pulls so far on mythic lura I would like a 3 second bladestorm please
12.1 rage post will be made. We will save our rage

Surely forum post works a second time
- fix rage
- do something about bs cdr being completely rng
Op rage gen being back at 20 or so = more exe
and im happy
More exe= good fun happy times
seconded on the Bladestorm CDR being rng, it's pretty silly
wowhead posts have proven to fix things so far it should just be a wowhead post
you can see massive swings in performance that are entirely out of your control.
Wasn't last season just exe with SD procs and you just get the cdr
There's 3 bandaid fixed I'ma bring up. Either op rage gen always, buffing auto rage gen or making exe 20 rage cost always
Not the 3 stacks stuff we have rn
Why not all 3
Give op rage back. Can increase rage gen as a whole
Execute can be 20-30 scaling
Didn't say it had to be just one
Can keep 40 if yoy really want but the idea of just 40 if you have 50 is kinda meh
But all 3 of these options is enough of a bandaid to fix our issue
Wowhead still accurate on pure ST raid with how much you press execute in execute phase? Basically only when near rage cap or with SD proc
ok I was trying to explain arms to a friend rerolling to it the other day and where does it say how bladestorm gets reduced? Is it actually just the 5s from the hero talent and I've been imagining bigger reductions the entire tier
Its the hero talent
Based on the stacks of bladestorm you have
At like 3 stacks it cdrs 5 secs or something
you execute quite often in Execute phase, it just looks low on the list
it's stacks of Executioner, from Slayer's Strike procs
the hero talent just says 5 second flat reduction on every SD I think
5 seconds per stack of Executioner
This is what I thought but I actually don't think it reads like that at all, but I am American so maybe I just didn't read it good
Think of the other items on the Execute phase list as "overrides", you actually press Execute quite often.
In a nutshell it's basically Heroic Strike > Overpower > Execute, unless you have Sudden Death, are about to rage cap, or 2x stacks of Executioners Precision
Felt like a psycho reading through the talents trying to explain "no really sometimes it takes of 15 seconds I swear'
it's kind of unclear from the wording whether both parts are per stack of Executioner, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it take 15 seconds off, yeah
Typical Blizz tooltip but that's how it works. It's 5sec per stack so 3 stacks = 15 sec
ok and it's stacks of the SD bladestorm buff?
I dont think much of it. But generally more times you click sd exe it decreases the cd
At a faster rate
BS CDR is essentially a 2 part combo. 1st part is the amount of executioner stacks you have which comes from slayer strikes procs. 2nd part is using SD procs which gives you the CDR depending how many stacks you have at the moment of cast.
the "bladestorm hits extra times" buff is completely separate
the CDR has nothing to do with it
makes sense thank you
Ya ok so it's 5 seconds per executioner stack then when you cast the SD
Correct
ok that makes more sense with the edit haha
I would love to know where it explains that in a tooltip lol
haha yeah sorry, it's on the list but forgot to mention it
the executioner's precison is the biggest one to watch for. It should be Mortal Strike -> (continue rotation until you're pressed Execute twice) -> Mortal Strike.
The rotation ends up being Heroic Strike > MS (with 2EP) > Sudden Death > Overpower > Execute. The two in the list are procs that aren't always up, so it's basically MS (with 2EP) > Overpower > Execute, then you react to procs as you get them.
bottom node of slayer tree: "Using Sudden Death causes you to both reduce the cooldown of Bladestorm by 5 sec and apply 1 stack of Overwhelmed to your primary target per stack of Executioner you have."
Read it all together. 5 sec and apply overwhelm per stack is all one line. It's not 5 sec stop. Then overwhelmed per stackd
it's very RNG, i really dislike it
sometimes you get 30sec bladestorm, most of the time it's 45sec-1min
If it's still confusing then blame blizzard. Blizzard tooltips have never been known for being clear and easy to understand
they love ambiguity
Yeah it makes it very frustrating for raiding.i hope they do some tweaks to it as that's really slayer only main issue
even our tier set confuses people
awesome thank you!
exactly, but people still get confused because of the ambiguous wording.
One of the last specs who has even 1 RNG CDR or active gameplay CDR component let alone 2 of those
Most other specs got converted to flat CDR nodes instead
Imagine if we just had AM give flat 45 to ava
Damaging a target affected by Colossus Smash with Mortal Strike or Cleave that hits 3 or more targets extends Colossus Smash's effect on them by 1.0 sec.
If you used Plain Language on this it'd be something like:
Mortal Strike and Cleave extend the duration of Colossus Smash by 1.0 seconds. Cleave must hit at least 3 targets for this effect.
word are hard though 
Doesn't help that it's 2 different areas or RNG too. How many SS procs you get and how many SD procs you get
it could be worse we could be getting the copilot ritual site renown descriptions
my brain got tied in a knot reading that string of nouns 😂
The first thing you need to know about bladestorm is that when you spin really fast you do the more damage.
execute phase increasing our rage spend for AM, but having no real impact on SD RNG makes me so sad
Bladestorm cdr being tied to 2 different procs is against a lot of their design goals they had with other classes' cds
I dont understand how it went under the radar
yeah, i just wish the Unrelenting Onslaught was changed to "Bladestorm is now affected by Anger Management, if talented"
me when im trying to parse r1 HC dragons but @minor gust got 2 bladestorms within 30s
and i got my 2nd BS at 1:05
Ion told me it's because Bozo was pure of heart that pull
Slayers Strike for stacks of Executioner and SD to proc it
Something something Khazix getting 2 BS in one CS window
Holy moly
gg
one of our fury warriors was in Dstance the whole night last week 
Don't worry I'm not gonna have skyfury for belo prog
2nd egg gonna hurt my soul if I get unlucky
Aw hell nawww
That sucks
I love watching my beloren egg dam bounce between 150k - 250k depending on my SD's
lmao
help is the only fight I really felt the rng on for prog because you could get two bladestorms in one egg phase and that was crazy
Best pull so far on egg burn is 255k dps
Belo*
worst one is 134k
That kind of variance is not OK
Khazix topped belo with slayer M+ build thoughts? Do I pull it out for prog and pad on birds

that would have been trolling in my raid but probably depends on if you hold damage ever or you have padders
Bro hes been
going pad pad pad build
logs love pad 
meanwhile my egg dam swings
how do you parse alleria
xD
do you just pad as much as possible
P1 damage
ok im keeping that as a 21 then
go hit the 2 targets
I'ma keep playing TE build for belo. Helps a lot with no shaman
TE build owns
Why are you playing without a sham anyway
Our DPS shaman quit and we cant fit our rsham in for belo cuz healer external bs
Some of us have a rogue doing a seed on mythic lura
Hey I'm new to warrior but curious why we're not using Wrecking Throw instead of Slam when it does like double dmg?
slam crits do trigger deep wounds too, though wrecking is still presumably still slightly ahead
tactician as well
Thanks for the answers
hey, is gaze our bis trinket? cuz i got the voracious trinket at 298 (myth voidcared) and have crucible at 263, gaze is simming rly low for me
sim link in case in can offer some more info
bad ring bad shoes bad wrists bad belt
like half your gear has versatility Hoooly
2nd ring is bad, wrists and waist not the best either, other than that its good
you can most definitely cata your belt for a dps increase
cata belt + boost
craft wrists
at hc ilvl
get mystic weapon
and suddenly gaze gains +.5% sim dps
but ye you're ~7 ilvls behind with bad itemization
Probably more as well
when will you start simming 7 digits
True
on mythic, can you do imp then dragons? or do you have to do vor/saladhaar as well
dragons get a damage buff per side boss alive iirc? so its probably killable just not by your average guild
shoker
now imagine
u bonus roll pit of saron
for neck + weapon + ring + belt
craft haste crit wrist
get rid of that vers ring asap
Guys is op in st that bad?
But op good
Was it bad pre buffs after .5 launch?
I mean st was bad in general pre buffs
Yeah
I think op has been buffed by like 40% cumulatively since launch lol
....oh
but so has everything else 
Ms buff when
12.1 if we're lucky 
Nah I want rage to be fix. Gimme op rage in .1
Yes but blizzard wont do that
true
If i had to pick i want rage gen on op again motr then ms buffs
guys
@latent moss
how would you feel
if your guild assigned you like this
what am I
seeing
anyone got a slayer build for the dragons?
What the fuck
@hasty pumice it is evil but I also progged the same. had x2 ret in g1
Wait
U have way too many melee but it's okay the likelihood that tanks are powerful enough to keep the bosses together as much as possible so that you can parse is already slim
yes
Aren't u out of melee range
its not about the parse
yes
the uptime OP spec
gets a no uptime spot
?
over a
surv hunter
thats THE arms fight
at that point id just whisper ebed the dk directly to ask to swap
bigger crime with the ret and DK
in that melee grp
assuming they are uh idk if they have realised frost exists yet
yeah for sure just ask them
people hate changing assignments for some reason but the individuals doing them usually dont mind
hes probably walking around with his thumb in his ass anyway
if the boss is in the middle like that you can just stand on the rogues
its not
oh so
my soak always moves out of melee range
its cucking the rogues and you
yes
why is ur hunter surv lmao
dont ask me
I respect people who wanna play their spec but
I swap to whats best for the fight as warrior
I wanna further the raid
mm literally op as fuck on that fight still
and ranged
@hasty pumice oh are u 5 healing
yes
ye
ok thats fine
There's 1 survival hunter in the top 100 maybe he thinks he's him
yeah ok that guy should be on mm
Nice belo build
thanks
dw we are proccing the orb soak mechanic
arms gameplay (real)
in the middle of +18s, and is it me or is slayer still a lil sluggish.. I feel like I still cant keep up with my Colossus, and with bad rng it just isnt always there even on ST. Any suggestions?
oh wow im the only guy with cleave/fob/collat/crushing combo
lmfao
nobody else tried that?
bro ur with TE
wait i have TE
see I only have 1 sword
why do the CDs overlap so badly in the fight
is it better to always send or slightly delay
on palas?
i always send
i dont have TE
also i beat the r1 boss dps guy on egg dps with my build
?
hoooly
with ur procs* I saw the 33 sudden deaths the other day
you lose like 0 boss dps% for infinite funnel/cleave
that was not crazy procs on beloren
lmfao
The second place guy had 26 I wanna say but I did not look further than that
do i only demolish during c smash?
1 part of the guide says with 10 stacks of colossal might, 1 part says during c smash.
I think a lot of people send it if CS is 10+ seconds out and you already have 10 stacks.
This
Ideally during cs. If cs is 10 or longer send it
But almost always send on 10 stacks
copy that
Actually question
Oh
I mean thats kinda given imo
I was gonna ask if during cs if you send demo at a lower stack count
Or just carry it over
Till u have 10 and next cs
I always send at 10 stacks
why do you always hold for c smash in ST?
Also doesn't desync as bad
demolish doesnt have as much cdr in st as it does in aoe
ahh right
oh cause you need 10 stacks before CDR starts triggering. i see, and no cleave in ST for ez stacks, got it chief
You also don't get double stacks from MS with SS
We stop dps on boss unfortunately so not worth playing.
I really like the landscape in 20 pugs
Basically Dev, Unholy, Aug, and Demo
Thats it
If you're not that, do your own key
are set gloves bis?
What do we on sim for m+ gearing? 5 target patchwork?
You want crit haste gloves or seat gloves
Yeah they have gloves that have a chance to proc dmg
I do 5t1m and 3t3m
Some do 8 targets even
anyone using Light Company Trinket
its fine, but over course of a fight or key, i find the crit ones more consistent
if i already sent a demolish because csmash wasnt going to be up, do i still send the csmash when its up then, or wait until next demo?
You send CS, demo will most likely come back up during it
Never hold cs
Unless its for downtime or damage amps.
Kinda dislike how fast demolish CD is, it doesn't look as a hard hitting ability as before
?
it didnt hit hard before, just you hit more often with it now so it's actually good
on AA first boss do u hold cds until adds come or what ?
duality of a man
hell yeah, Profound Wounds is a pretty cool name
Brand new arms alt, what dungeon is best to reroll? Pit for the hammer?
the only bad item from pit is the cape, everything else owns
Why do abilitys in spanish Sound so funny in my head
i got weppy
on my last roll
thoughts
pit
7/8 pieces in pit are bis or super close to bis, the only brick item you can get in pit is the cloak
👨🏫 profound wounds
are those plate pants?
crafted
chud craft
my evoker has better gear than my warrior
chud class
goat craft
for slarms in execute phase, do we just want to make sure the target has one stack of master of warfare from heroic strike before we bladestorm?
No
we dont literally need to wait to bs until we heroic strike right before right?
Mow is Micky mouse shit
wdym
We dont hold anything for master of warfare specifically
Send bs in cs and I think with 2x ep
But dont quote me on that last part
cs and 2x ep in exe ye
Danke
what happened to pallys that have them blasting like this jesus
cs only if 2x ep got it
Battle shout on cooldown?
exactly
i watched war machine proc what do you think isnt working abt it
doesnt it specifically say that the enemy needs to give xp
maybe not
it was proccing fine for me in raid gave me both the ms and rage just checked a log
do you have a vod or a log
heroic strike is above bs here and i think someone said in execute phase we prio hs over bs even in cs because of the armor reduction or smth
so is it if we have hs up we send it before bs, but if we dont have an hs proc we just bs?
master of warfare doesnt matter?
I thought it was cause HS increases our MS damage. And most of bladestorms ST profile comes from unhinged
HS is armor penetration
which buffs both MS and BS damage
HS also buffs MS damage
so its like very big to use HS before cs
also unhinged can proc HS anyways
bro
armor pen owns
chud spec
like man fuck this spec
wcyd
genuinely fuck this spec
only a r82
and i had like
15s of downtime waiting for healers to see me on the screen
afte 95 pings
:)))))))
big
shouldve played just warming up over broad strokes
wcyd
can we just go back to df arms
sitting at 130 rage perma
like this
genuinely made me crash out
its so bad man
starving outside of exe
👍
Welcome to midnight arms all of your cooldown rage increases are gone so boss parrying your first auto punches you in the nuts more
when you somehow end first BS with under 50 rage


u mean hs before bs right? but hs' buff is master of warfare right? usually mow has a high uptime so unless we have a hs proc we would just send bs right after cs in execute phase right
instead of waiting and fishing for hs before bs
where is this from?
yeah i mistyped
HS BEFORE BS
the tbc armor kit
it doesnt really do much but i like opening my character page and seeing +3 stamina on gloves
it just looks nice
very nice sir
do we need to fish for an hs right before bs
or can we just send bs after cs as long as we have MoW stacks in execute phase
its not a need
just do it if the scenario presents itself
you just send bs after cs unless you have heroic strike
i do that also
its afree global
Phil are you proud of me I havent gotten total aids yet from pugging
How are you sane
Ahhhh
maybe every 3 days if I just dont feel it
I should do that instead of letting keys consume me
how do you track the buff for when slam turns into heroic strike?
in the advanced cooldown settings
love the warrior responsees
just putting slam on ur cdm is the easiest way
Nice work man!
playing arms has made me hate ranged players that stand far away
because then mobs jump on them for baited attacks and they're far as fuck and my fervor of battle cleave doesn't actually fervor of battle cause the mob moved
I have begun to hate most players for similar reasons.
Standing far away? Fuck you.
Don't stack bosses close together? Fuck you.
Kill the adds that got pulled to the boss so I can funnel? Fuck you.
like its on me for playing a class that is so peculiar about AoE
but pls make my job easier so the key can go faster
afaik there's no class that does more damage from being far away
so the marksmanship hunter has no excuse for not sniffing the trash pack's farts
get in there man
No legot6
That's the oy way
U can track slam in cdm ig
Yeah just track slam in cdm, it turns into heroic strike
Ya looks like the best way. Just didn't want to add another icon to my bar messes with the spacing i like
huge
the god roll
this might sound like a stupid quiestion cause it probably is but in col, why not take bladestorm instead of ravanger
bladestorm is like 4 seconds of being afk and col doesn't have any talents that boost bladestorm
but ravager does buff up cleave nicely, which col likes
and cleave makes demo come up faster too right?
yeah it also does big damage in aoe
the last bit is important
Ravager>Colossus Smash>cleavex3 big
ravager itself might as well do no damage. lit's literally only there for the cleave buff
oh i meant the cleaves do big damage in aoe
ravager is just there to juice them up even more
yo wtf is the prio for m+ arms slayer like im watching critcake and he would like execute 5 times in a row
ravager should be 1 min cooldown
does double socket beat out crit haste necks on arms?
on ur char*
yall have a bird taunt macro for belo?
I'm not sure I'll have to check
im 800% sure it doesnt
crit is insane for arms
this is why they pay you the big bucks
goated fury neck thop
someone give me the quick n dirty for spellprio on slayer arms
@stable fiber Did you pot 2nd egg?
No
Is it just me or is Colossus absolute dog shit in like lower pug keys in Single Target? Im near 290iLvl Full BiS btw.
Wondering if I should just play Slayer
It’s not shit in low pug keys ST, it’s kinda just bad in ST in general. Need tank to play around you and pull mobs onto bosses for funnel for it to feel great
One of the big issues with col especially is if you build for ST you lack really hard in Multi, and if you build for multi you lack really hard in ST. Cause its like 10 talent point difference lmao
people literally dont give a fuck about that and those same people cannot be convinced that its even real they'll look at meters as law and flame
If u want st and are okay with less aoe
Yes
Play slayer
And if ur pugging i endorse slayer
yea tank really needs to play around col arms
This. I’ve only regretted playing slayer in a pug ONCE. And I Apologized for not playing colo
i mean who cares what you play in pugs at lower keys tho
you can probably be fine with whatever to 18+
if you're playing colossus and you're in an AOE pack in M+ and all you have to press are heroic strike or execute, and your cleave has one GCD to come off cooldown, what are you pressing?
Execute
okay thanks guys
Oh I assumed sd was present
Mb
yeah say it's not present
do prismatics act different in head vs neck?
I didn’t good catch
it's just something I've noticed come up so often and I always wonder what to do
If its not you probably wait a global yeah
this rotation is a fun game of "what glowy thing do I press" every ~1s
Execute is kinda ass for colo
rgr that
Or just reapply rend
oh true that's another option
True warrior brain moment
Oh oh, if you run shockwave this is its moment
sim is telling me haste is better than str? for wep enchant im at 26% haste
thats normal yes
Don’t fight it, just accept
im fighting the movement of my prismatic from neck to my head lmao

Okay SLAYER FEELS WAY BETTER IN PUGS.
Top Boss DMG + Top AOE DMG ( not by much but top nonetheless )
yeah that one is always silly, just ignore it
it should also be affected by AM so it syncs with CS (at least) but alas
same
i will never yield
welcome to the correct side
The bias is showing bozo
im sure the name gives it away
Tbh I hope slayer stays good next season
Id probably just play it over colo unless colo gets some actual st
well see
Should be getting .1 ptr in like a month
but you dont even play game
what's our go-to setup for dungeon sims for colossus these days?
Give me s2 so I can
give us a log and we can tell you
so
I can reccomend something to help with the death
You could've used Dstance and such and absoutlely should
That aside, you look pretty good honestly.
press x to doubt, idek if ill play tbh
Honestly I wouldn't worry too much about overalls
Slayers overalls are a bit lower then colos in my experience, but I just use overalls to see if I'm grossly underperforming
are you thho
The answer is usually yes
How come. Judt fix it
Le skill issue
Is ok im joining you on the done for season team
How the fuck
I did not claim my rogue at all
Warr isn't claimed. None of my other characters are claimed
All I did was upload a log of a REALLY bad (and kinda toxic) seat run on her
Going to join my mates in a m+ comp as arms. Guardian, mw, Hunter, outlaw, arms. Is the lack of shaman going to ruin my dps? Going for top 1%. I'm seeing my sims lose about 13% dps single target as slayer without skyfury
Depending on when and where u die it will screw your overall dps by quite a big margin
Yes no shaman is going to hurt you in the long run
You can play top 1% with whatever u want really. Its the .1% that youll struggle with
Yeah not going to 0.1%, was disappointing to see such a loss without shaman. I'll justify my existence with battle shout 🙂
You could do it as fury, and I think slayer suffers less overall from no shaman
Slayer arms
Is it a bm hunter ?
He is bm but has a gear set for surv too
i must say im liking slayer ebtter than col
enjoy it well it lasts
Well there you go. Your Main purpose in that comp is your prio damage. Youll need that
I'm not familiar with hunter, do they lose a lot of prio dmg while cleaving?
Not really much. Basically everything cleaves off of everything but they dont really gain much either
But i just hate hunters so im a bad source of advice on how to get rid of them
Surely this is the day, last voidcore
GG?

does this check out? that npx rings sim lower than current ones? or did i do some random shit while simming?
Cloak inc
Droptimizer works with your current gear and doesnt take the setbonus into consideration iirc
You can try simming with topgear and add the rings manually - it is absolutely possible that they wont be an upgrade for you tho
yeah droptimizer just does one item at a time so it never equips both
Not nessecarily but it has a better damage Profile
Im gonna jump now

Guys, anyone has a Tipp to Max out Aoe damage as slayer and collo ? I think i lose a Lot of Aoe due to Bad Position or something
Col is better than slayer when you get funnel on bosses.
If you dont get funnel or bosses or have heavy ST keys like AA slayer will be Equal or even outperform, hence its prefered for pugs.
Your overall and priodmg will be better as col, generally speaking.
THIS IS NOT ADVICE ON WHAT TO PLAY. BOTH ARE VIABLE AND COMPLETELY FINE.
Does your party Interrupt display reliably work?
it is .3 increase actually thanks for the tip
didnt know droptimizer doesnt include set
it would if you had one of the rings equipped already
yes
How is it called?
Ty
work fine?
How does it feel?
I lowkey don't wanna play anymore till next week
actually please fucking shoot me for rolling that
Can't craft my cloak because of no weapon
wdym? because of crests or what?
You can have two embellishments
I have a crafted weapon and bracers
Next up max unlucko skyreach
keep us updated
I just got absolutely trounced in a 19 AA vs a ret and BM as slarms
idk wtf I was doing, I only had 150k overall to their 195 each
Thats normal ngl.
The first pull easily Puts them like 40m ahead of you in dmg which heavily reflects on overall
even in bosses I 'kept up' but by no means beat them by any significant margin
yeah that first pull is just unadulterated cringe
In AA first pull you can go ahead and subtract all the damage to the small shitter lashers - they are the most irrelevant damage in the universe :p focus on dmg on the big vile lashers.
did you smash bird tho? and bossdmg on first boss? 🙂
That first pull is the reason your overall is so bad compared to them. If tank moves in the other Direction just once youll end up with about 400k if youre lucky, they do double that and is majority of their overall
Dont feel bad about it 
The biggest part of that pull is just to make sure your tank has a marker on him, and just perma stack on top of him - or your damage goes out the window.
yeah that first pull I had about 400
they had like 600-800
then I scuffed my pad on the first boss too lmao
Now look at the pure damage number difference, not the dps itself
As i said its easily 40m they have on you just from pull 1. Catching that up is impossible
yeah I expect to lose overall because of that pull, was just kind of wild how much by lmao
I definitely made other mistakes as well, coz the gap never really tightened
Man, ive played with uhdks that ended the pull on 1.2m and had 220k overall just due to that.
It happens
Its not your job to pad like a madman its your job to do prio dmg 
next time you can reset meter after first pull to see what the damage after first pull is like
Thank god it wasnt a feral! With ferals in aa is even worse 
slayer or colossus for nexus?
Depends on the comp, Slayer is pretty good for the damage amp boss
slayer
in pugs i only go col for pit tbh
is there a way to track our apex prog in cdm without having slam shown?
this
no
u will LIKE blizzards UI
hell
and u will not miss old Weakauras
that could just make it pop when u needed it
u will LOVE having a big SLAM right next to ya char
such is life
are this good stats? or i need more haste
Hi everyone, what do you think about this idea on slayer spec improvement. I'm wondering if reap the storm which gives a lot of randomness to the spec could be changed. I'm thinking of a change like that. "When Cleave hits 3 or more targets you have a 20% chance to gain a free whirlwind with 200% bonus Physical damage and applying Overwhelmed. Deals reduced damage beyond 8 targets." It could synergise with collateral damage, and could also synergise with slayer's dominance and give back some use of the long forgotten whirlwind button.
Can't ww as cleave replaces it
The best thing they could do is just buff the proc rate and lower damage for consistency
In my proposal they'll have to separate cleave from ww of course.
Yeh no. More keybinds on an already heavy keybind class ain't it.
Yeah having both cleave and ww would suck tbh
I'd rather reap was 35/50/100% and damage is tuned accordingly. Considering reap was essentially 100% on 5+ targets before when it was per target
The better situation is slayer strikes is just removed and reap covers both slayer strikes and aoe from any button pressed
Ok I agree with you on the increase proc rate lower damage.
Agree with that too
Does this even really change anything? It's 20% currently to proc reap, your suggestion just gives a 20% chance to buff whirlwind. What's the meaningful difference there
Two procs for the same spec..
Yeah right could be more of a stacking buff may be.
Prob is blizzard already hates having too many procs/moving parts to a spec. It's part the reason mortal strike was removed from reap as trying to tune the spec when reap was like it was/slayer strikes also being another factor it made it more hard to control the specs damage.
They shot ms and considerably buffed reap. Reap hits insanely hard but just lacks a solid proc rate.
Functionally both are fine. But it would be much cleaner and less rng on pulls if reap was just tuned down like 10% and were given that back as proc rate.
You do get moments in Keys where you spend sudden death into more proc and your aoe is nuts as you just send 3/4 reaps back to back. Then other pulls you barely get any sudden deaths.
Think executioner for cdr for bladestorm is also a bit shit rather that was just always a flat amount and not subject to the amount of stacks you have.
Yep the most annoying part is too much rng. You can shine on some pull and be crappy on the next.
Hey guys, I'm new to arms and currently following the links in dps-faq, I noticed WoWhead says slayer is best is for multitarget in raid, yet all the top parses and also comments here state colossus is
can I savely assumed the guide is outdated/wrong on this part?
On the cdr i agree once again, we already have a consistent cdr with anger management
They could easily make slayer extend its effect to bladestorm with a small change on unrelenting onslaught.
Decoupling it from sudden death proc rng.
You have very few raid fight with heavy aoe damage requirement except for paladins fight. So in most raid situation slayer is indeed better than colossus.
Would you say slayer is better on dragons as well? I am assigned to take every other gloom as well
For dragons I go fury thane 🤣
Interesting, hope I can get a crafted 2nd weapon before raid tonight
Less than 24 hours played on the character 😅
And thank you for your time!
on mythic dragons colossus is superior due to the fight being perma 2-target cleave, on normal/hc full st slayer with slight pivot to ss is alright
just take 2 nodes for ss on cs and 25% ss dam and you're good
How can i get a socket on my crafted wrist?
vault currency
thanks, I'll have a look around and see what works best
mid season rerolls are a pain
For M saladbar is it worth going for more aoe on slayer to kill orbs?
are u struggling with killing small orbs?
Not me but my group is a maybe
yeah i meant more is ur raid struggling with small orbs
A little I think, but I feel saladbar is a st fight
