I beat my last season best Rio score tho I’m pretty proud of that

reef prairie
#

Can funnel easy in most dungeons without doing cringe shit

novel raven
#

sure, but the point here is on colo warrior you can actually have supreme or any other insane player on the class get the "standard" funnel

#

and get gapped by 20 other players getting the FULL funnel

reef prairie
#

Im just making a point to help him do more in his keys

#

If he hasnt been doing so already

novel raven
#

sure, i def just went on a tangent

undone aurora
#

To be fair I probs should ask my tanks to do funnel I don’t really ask them to change their route lol

reef prairie
#

Groups in 19s and 20s are not doing full degen funnel shit

undone aurora
#

I usually look at their route but more just so I know what to expect

reef prairie

if your current 4p includes gloves, and you do a topgear sim without an alternative tier piece to make a new 4p, any gloves you try to compare will be horrible as you are losing the 4p bonus

#

voidclaw will almost certainly be better than tier gloves if you have 4p in the other slots

cunning smelt
#

funny that I tried to do that and it still ended up saying that I will lose 1,3k dps by equiping those

ionic mica
#

can you link the sim?

#

would be curious to see what it is doing

cunning smelt
#

probably gonna take a guess that my crafted items have something to do with this cuz I have haste and mastery on them

dim basalt
#

The question is why do you expect the gloves to be good in an aoe sim?

#

They have never been part of the BiS list iirc so certainly it shouldnt be surprising theyre not simming more than alternatives

#

Especially in aoe where stats will matter more than a random low damage ST proc

cunning smelt
#

simming ST right before u mentioned that

dim basalt
#

Dont expect much of a gain if anything

cunning smelt
#

hope I do

dim basalt
#

Theyre not that great if you dont have the neck

#

So

cunning smelt
#

anything but the crit vers cloak

cunning smelt
minor gust
#

Alleria neck

#

Either way seat gloves are incredibly minor gain for ST

#

Using my own character as an example they were only a 250 DPS gain in ST over same ilvl Crit haste gloves. And aoe of course it's a decent loss

silver stag
#

is unhinged together with sweeping strikes not working? i keep noticing it on lura progress

minor gust
#

You cannot sweep unhinged

silver stag
#

was this always the case? my bad

minor gust
#

It wasn't for like 2 weeks in TWW beta but yeah been like that for awhile

silver stag
#

ty

radiant mirage
#

Dungeon route (not slice) simming any good for arms?

thick kelp
#

relies on the same thing as dslice

#

so no

radiant mirage
#

what would be the best way to sim for m+? 5 min 1 boss and 5 min 5 boss?

thick kelp
#

think u are in a dungeon

#

how many mobs are u fighitng

#

for how long

minor gust
#

Simming for M+ is always gonna be taken with a grain of salt but just do a St and aoe sim and set the time to your avg kill time. For most 3 min ST 40-1min aoe

thick kelp
#

and sim patchwerk

latent pasture
#

guys, gonna do vaelgor and ezzorak mythic soon, and I have a question : if I can't pad a lot on the adds, do I stick to colossus or do I go a 2 target slayer build (or maybe a build similar to slayer dungeon) ?

lone yarrow
#

colo > slayer on mythic dragons regardless if you pad on orbs or no

latent pasture
#

ok thanks 👍

rose matrix
#

I faction changed from Orc to Night Elf

#

I feel like I have sinned

reef prairie

I love meld

desert briar
#

Who of you said after 20 there is more phys groups monkahmm

hybrid needle
#

Yep, thats the same experience i got

desert briar
#

Tbh I think i cba. 20 resil should be 1% end of season i hope

hybrid needle
#

on NA? Probably
on EU? Probably not

dim basalt
#

Maybe with 1-2 21s

hybrid needle
#

We still have a while for S1, we still have sporefall and we will still see a bunch of high end sellruns late in the season

#

3780 already is cutoff, resi 20 is like.. 3890? It most likely goes past that until the end

rose matrix
desert briar
#

Unlucky. Time to run my own key again i guess

minor gust
#

Surprise surprise the higher you go in the pugging community more and more meta specific it becomes

#

Who coulda guessed

hasty pumice
#

@latent moss yo

#

minus the lura ring and ignoring the ST sim for ring set bonus

#

i think

#

im kinda full bis on colo

latent moss
#

i mean lowk full bis

#

i dont think lura ring is good

#

for colo

hasty pumice
#

vibing

latent moss
#

maybe it is idk

#

i rolled npx twice today

#

got both rings lol

queen jewel
#

how's colo feeling for you lot? i still think i prefer slayer in most keys ngl

onyx gust

onyx gust
#

I’ll be kinda bis just missing trinkets 😭

latent moss
#

did u see the ss

#

i was doing more damage outside of exe

#

👍

minor gust
#

Helped this time got some add pad in execute

latent moss
#

2 weeks in a row

#

i get 0 rage in exe

minor gust
#

And this is why I say it's impossible to balance rage with current arms design. Too many rng levers out of your control.

#

Just give up and let rage be meaningless like in df and TWW or actually rework the spec completely

wind flicker
#

I gave up on raiding

rare kite
#

we getting there

wind flicker
#

takes too much time

ionic mica
untold vault
#

So is it colossus all the way or still slayer in AA and skyreach?

rare kite
#

maybe slayer in AA. rest col

latent moss
#

same for me

wind flicker
#

I loved it

#

But man if you're not clearing it in a good pace it can drag so long

#

But too high raiding requires like 4-5 day commitment

#

And tbh keys are more fun anyways hehe

minor gust
# ionic mica i was gonna say remove rage and make our limitation the cd of abilities, but the...

Yeah if it was up to me I prefer a more creative full rework. My idea was turn rage for arms into a ddh style mechanic and tie it with a CD. So everything generates rage like fury. Build full rage pop a CD that steroid buffs you but instead of trying to maintain for as long as possible like ddh it just slowly decays. Something simple and satisfying. Can do a lot of interesting things with that. Like certain CDs that only work in rage mode or something or other unique effects.

rare kite
#

full on arms rework and fury apex rework. the dream

minor gust
#

Yeah rework fury apex back to how it was on beta

soft parrot
#

i feel like i actualy kinda do damage in st with colossus now

#

well, still nothing compared to like actual meta specs, but like at least it isn't tank damage anymore XD

slate dagger
#

Does Bloodlust's 30% haste count toward Reck pot's snapshot the same way Hunt / Lura / Guidon / Berserker Rage do? Asking because pot-on-pull + lust-on-pull would push crit-stat builds into a haste roll if so.

nova marsh
#

Not %

#

So no

slate dagger
nova vessel
#

After 3 weeks bonus rolls it’s here finally got it 😂

nova marsh
#

HAMMER

nova vessel
#

My crit is shit tho 😔

wind flicker
nova vessel
#

Everyone uses it 😂😂 I still like it tho

#

Are the gloves that good tho?? The seat ones?? Haste mastery just for that dumb proc

#

Got them in the vault

thick kelp
#

Good for raid

#

bad for keys

#

u want these ones from Spire for keys

fossil root
nova vessel
#

I had crafted hands

#

So for keys it’s dog??

dim basalt
thick kelp
#

gives u some extra boss dam ig

nova vessel
#

I will just rock them for now I guess until I get the option to swap out

reef prairie
wind flicker
fossil root
#

Nah. Not worth it. Hard pass.

thick kelp
#

Hc prog raiding might be the most worthless time spent in this game

stable fiber
#

^

#

my guild still hasnt killed heroic lura

sour compass
#

how much haste/crit u guys have without buffs?

stable fiber
thick kelp
#

why is Lura p1 like this

stable fiber
#

wdym

thick kelp
#

I am not playing the game

stable fiber
#

oh

#

yeah

thick kelp
#

I am payphoning thru

#

waiting for crystal carriers to learn

dim basalt
#

At least the glaives aren't fully deterministic so you need to pay a little attention

wind hatch
wind flicker
#

Thats why u dont raid bro

thick kelp
ionic mica
#

o there it is 😄

dim basalt
stable fiber
#

also like mythic raiding is the most worth it activity in this game if you are talking like gear wise

dim basalt
#

That completely depends on how good your class is keks

#

You can confirm

wind flicker
minor gust
wind flicker
#

I dont think it's ever been this easy to be equally geared as raiders

dim basalt
#

I hope they bring back bonus rolls

wind flicker
wind hatch
#

i do like bonus rolls a lot but they feel a little strong

#

perhaps thats just because I got insanely lucky tho clueless

minor gust
#

bonus rolls is a fine middle ground if they really dont like us just buying gear with dinar

minor gust
dim basalt
#

Bonus rolls are way better that dinars when it comes to general gear

#

Even more so for alts

minor gust
#

mostly alts yeah

#

just grab all ur rolls and go live in dungeons while you farm crests

wind flicker
#

Right now you dont

hybrid needle
#

Thats cap. Both bis trinks are from raid

minor gust
#

still gotta raid if u need trinkets but yeah bonus rolls help you get a ton of myth track loot

ionic mica
#

and bonus rolls you can get a wider variety of items

#

from keys and more slots

wind flicker
dim basalt
wind flicker
#

In general

#

Not just as warrior

wind flicker
ionic mica
#

even if you wanted raid loot, pray its like this season and the good trinkets are puggable bosses 😄

midnight mural
wind hatch
#

i dont even have a kick lol

#

im just dodging glaives

thick kelp
#

I am also voluntarily sniping seeds with my leap

#

if someone is too slow

dim basalt
#

Im back up kick but have to do it often enough

hybrid needle
#

I either roll for solarflare now to upgrade my heroic heart or... idk, wherever fury rolls gear ig

clever crag
#

think Im gloves and NPX ring from BIS BIS

copper swan
#

i'm think i am top tier target audience for those rolls lmao, starting this season i jsut wanted to max heroic for full set and then just do smthg else because waiting each week for 3 random M+ slots since i don't do mythic raid was annoying. It got me wanting to play more gg

rose matrix
#

Kinda surprised the NPX rings are better for me in Colossus even in AoE over the ring from Pit

copper swan
#

💪

#

They may need to revitalize raids though

rich kernel
#

if i were to want the most bursty warrior dps possible for nuking normal dungeons to help a friend with leveling, would i go arms or fury? and which hero spec?

stable fiber
#

not reliant on prestacking anything, you just push cooldowns and go

#

also can aoe in a big circle instead of a frontal

rich kernel
#

ok, fury question then, is a 298 1h and hero 1h better than 2 champ 2handers?

stable fiber
#

go 2 champ 2 handers

#

idk sim question but i think 1 handers are dead

#

like 95% sure

fresh spire
#

pretty sure they gut reasons to ever use 1 handers in fury now

minor gust
#

nah double dagger fury build still owns

fresh spire
onyx gust
#

is it worth to void upgrade this shyt? or try to drop hero track trinket

lime solar
#

only hero and myth

onyx gust
#

so thats answer for my question then

#

thanks

Ladies, gentlefolk and everything in between how are ya this evening?

atomic mist
#

How’s the buffs feeling boys

mortal crag
#

like it doesnt do anything

#

its 4% to st

atomic mist
#

Ain’t managed to play yet

#

Do we just use colossus every dungeon now?

mortal crag
atomic mist
#

Roger that

onyx gust
#

well not bad i think

#

lost 2 rolls sadly

#

wtf really plume 263 is better than box 276?s

haughty adder
#

Hello everyone im new to this discord, is there any posts regarding the fact that orc arms warriors have no impact sounds on abilities? There was a wowhead forum post about it with a blue post on it but its been weeks and I still have no impact sounds

uncut lagoon
#

Fixes it

#

Just one of the many random problems this expansion

ionic mica
onyx gust
#

tahts weird

haughty adder
#

is that a meme answer or are you saying change to female and change back

onyx gust
#

gotta drop plume or gaze on hero track then

wind hatch
haughty adder
#

i figured as much, so basically i should go pound sand

wind hatch
#

yeah it sucks

sour compass
#

guys, u ever cast cleave on less than 3 targets or just have sweeps up and do ST rotation? in M+ colossus

wind hatch
#

you can use cleave as a filler over slam if you have 3 stacks of collat but thats the only time you press it

sour compass
#

so from 3+ targets you just add cleave to it or it becomes highest prio?

#

ok

wind hatch
#

in 3+ targets you follow the aoe rotation

#

where cleave is highest priority

sour compass
#

ic ty

sand prairie
#

Can reflect green puddles in academy?

open ingot
#

Why is slarms performing better then slayer fury on lura

stable fiber
#

aka its boss damage is far better in general

open ingot
#

Is there a damage amp in the later phases?

stable fiber
#

yes

#

p3 and p4 are both a damage amp

#

p3 is a execute damage amp, pretty sure arms does the most dps out of all the specs in that phase

#

frost dk is close

#

p4 is fdk and arms

open ingot
#

Shit

#

Aight guess ill start stating for arms

#

How much amp is it do you know

stable fiber
#

100%

#

well

#

what it does is it duplicates the damage you do

#

so just 2x

open ingot
#

Ahh k i see

stable fiber
#

then p4 is i think 3x damage and a giant haste buff

#

i dont actually know lmao

#

but i do around 4x my normal dps in that phase

open ingot
#

Ill have to have a look at execute prio but i imagine its still exec precision stack the ms

stable fiber
#

in raid yes

open ingot
#

But cheers good to know will make the switch

stable fiber
#

fury is only good in p1

#

then it falls off

open ingot
#

Yeh it felt better then arms in p1

#

Adds die so fast

#

Cant full bs them

#

But saw in logs arms was doing well so assumed there was a later phase amp

main adder
#

what is causing my cleave button to light up on my cdm sometimes while I'm in ST

wind hatch
haughty adder
#

yeah itll happen on the emissary if youre in m+

main adder
#

I was in a delve killing the last boss, there might have been an add pop up

#

is there a talent that suddenly makes cleave glow?

wind hatch
main adder
#

oh dope!

#

so it probably stacked to 3 and lit up

dire hinge
#

yup, dont worry about pressing it in Single Target, but you can press it when lit in 2+ targets

main adder
#

Okay cool, so even at 3 stacks it's not worth for 1

dire hinge
#

Luckily that's correct, cleave is finally dead in single target 🙏

main adder
#

Glad y'all mains don't have to deal with that anymore 😄

dire hinge
#

tbh i didn't really pay it much attention beforehand either. I'd just press it during Ravager, but even that's dead now

main adder
#

I'm having so much fun leveling as slayer

#

moreso than colossus, but im hoping that once ive gotten comfy with slayer the other spec will feel a bit more natural

latent moss
minor sky
#

A little confused here, Archon has all the top builds running Colossus, but IV recommends Slayer in all content

latent moss
#

18 lines of priority

#

to do tank dmg

#

sometimes below tank damage

#

on st

latent moss
#

colo is just better if u can get funnel on bosses

minor sky
#

Ah

latent moss
#

slayer only beats colo on st

#

colo beats slayer at prio damage and 2t+

hasty pumice
latent moss
#

colossus cleave is just

#

a monster

minor sky
#

So for keys wouldnt Colossus be better in general since AoE damage is more valuable than ST in keys?

latent moss
#

not much to it

latent moss
#

and colo st is quite bad

wind hatch
#

you can play either and do good tbh

latent moss
#

also true

minor sky
#

Is one significantly easier to play than the other?

latent moss
#

yes

#

slayer is a lot easier

minor sky
#

I will probably start there until I get more comfortable then

latent moss
#

smart decision

#

no one should start with colo if they are new

#

very fast way to drop the spec

minor sky
#

Well, the plus side as far as colossus goes is that Im a prot main, so I do have some experience with the hero tree, just not as arms

latent moss
#

i dont have much experience with colo prot but i played it idk when was it

#

tww s2 or s3 i dont remember

#

it was like

#

vastly better than thane

#

brutal vitality press ip once spam revenge and it keeps ip up

minor sky
#

Yeah it hasnt been better than Thane for a while haha

#

for prot

latent moss
#

but colo arms is quite different

main adder
#

"feels" changes at least

latent moss
#

yeah

main adder
#

I really like execute. The last time i played warrior was in shadowlands and just in pvp and I was just absolutely mashing that vampire execute charge thing

#

condemn?

cedar cairn
#

Is the battlelord setup viable as well? Kind of getting tired of the execute spam and some groups don’t like to target one mob down to 35% as much as others

ashen night
#

is +14 like the elo hell? i get either tanks with horrible routes or dds that die left and right and are below tank in dmg (or both)

main adder
#

LOTS of dps can be carried kicking and screaming to 14 somehow

#

I get dudes pulling 65k overall in those keys when im healing sometimes

near radish
rose matrix
#

16 is 3400 range right?

#

Anything that is in range of that achievement is going to be bad

dire hinge
rose matrix
#

A lot of really bad players that normally brute force 3k are now doing the same for 3.4k

native obsidian
#

I never get what's supposed to be so different and hard about colo arms, you press colo smash, you don't press execute, you save ravager for aoe and spam cleave

#

It's not too different than slayer

tulip gust
undone aurora
#

whats the gist of how slarms works in m+? I've not much practice in it but I felt like my BS wasn't lining up with CS that well

native obsidian
#

That's true the CDs are more all over the place

latent moss
#

more minmaxing

dire hinge
undone aurora
#

so basically send CS whenever up but hold BS for CS

open ingot
#

How is arms playing in st raid wise are you sending ava > cs > bs
Then sending cs when it comes back up
Back to holding for ava > cs > bs again?

nova marsh
#

Never hold cs

#

Think of cs like ur cd checkpoint

#

If u have a cd, you send it with cs

open ingot
#

So you hold other cds for cs not other way round?

#

So if bs comes up i hold it until my next cs comes up?

nova marsh
#

Yes

open ingot
#

Cheers

livid plume
#

Heya whats verdict for running colo in raids now after the buffs? Just asking because im switching over from Outlaw and just generally love colo. How far behind is it in boss ST compared to slayer? Sorry but I can't find an answer anywhere

nova marsh
#

Its still horrendous st, colo is almost strictly an aoe spec

#

Lucky for you, we're in a cleave tier and at least mythic dragons and paladins are pretty good for colo

main adder
random trout
#

we palying slayer in sky reach still?

stable sapphire
#

Biz did a cpl skyreaches as colo this morning I didnt get to watch all of it tho can maybe check the VoD

nova marsh
main adder
#

I'm asking, not arguing

nova marsh
#

Oh

#

Then yes

#

Hold basically evreything but demo for it

sacred summit
#

does haste ever outweight crit for us? i currently have 1104 cr and 1035 haste (buffed) on sims its quite similar

#

i thought crit would always exceed haste in value since we are so rage starved so we can only cast so much and crit makes us do big dam

#

at least colo is almost always rage starved in ST and slayer is pretty rage starved in execute phase

slow flame
#

yo is arms slayer better than fury

#

for m+

tawdry sphinx
#

Is there a rule of thumb of when to start aoe damage rotation when the tank initially pulls and starts gathering packs? I feel like I'm losing damage uptime by waiting too long to start smashing my cleave button but I don't want to rip aggro

#

(also M+)

slow flame
#

just send it bro

tawdry sphinx
graceful light
#

Is this priority list still correct for the Slayer M+ build on single target? I'm running critical thinking, massacre, and stance mastery instead of battlelord and crushing force.

stable fiber
#

excluding all the cooldowns

slow flame
#

so keeping up rend is not even a prio

#

dang i been doing it wrong

stable fiber
#

as slayer not really

#

but i like to get it up when i cant really use cleave or else ill pull threat

#

its free damage

#

as colossus you still want to keep rend up because it needs more rage

graceful light
stable fiber
#

during colossus smash though id use MS over overpower

#

this spec has too many niche slight little rotation changes

#

its annoying

#

meanwhile ddh has the same rotation in aoe and st

graceful light
#

I agree lol I guess just pressing something is better than downtime but gotcha thanks

main adder
#

It's crazy how perfect Pit of Saron is for bonus rolling an arms alt

#

crit/haste all over the place

#

and waepon too

stable fiber
#

6 of the items from that dungeon are true bis

#

1 is almost bis

#

1 sucks

#

its pretty good yeah

main adder
#

considering i don't plan to raid at all, what a treasure trove

slow flame
#

what about cds

#

do u always save bs for warbreaker

#

or only avatar with cs

#

bs off cd

stable fiber
#

because you get way more BS cdr in m+

slow flame
#

only m+

#

coudlnt give 2 fuck about raid

stable fiber
#

in m+ you only send BS with CS

#

if it lines up with avatar then gj

slow flame
#

oki ^^

stable fiber
#

and also only avatar with CS

slow flame
#

thank you king

viral fiber
#

How are we feeling after buff still slayer on AA and SR?

wind hatch
#

i am FINALLY getting some good p3 pulls on lura

#

feels so good

torn needle
#

is there any way to escape or avoid the bird grab in last boss of Skyreach?

sharp flame
#

anyone holding SD procs for crystals aoe?

#

on lura*

onyx gust
#

should i work more on haste or crit? raidbot not telling me shit

wind hatch
#

if you get a sd proc a couple seconds after the interrupts spawn

#

you can hold it and it’ll last long enough for you to use after bladestorm

balmy kindle
slow flame
#

Is colossus the move on all keys now or nah

onyx gust
#

droptimizer?

#

to check with stat should i chase

viral fiber
rose matrix
#

It's probably the best on all besides AA if you get proper funnel

#

Seat and Spire you can swap specs at the end for more ST on the last bosses

languid torrent
#

fuck belo man

#

is the way to parse that meaning you just basically have to 3 target cleave the whole time/

rare kite
onyx gust
#

as slayer can i dream of 18+?

#

or that wont happen till i swap to awful vomiting demolish

lapis osprey
#

hi all i need a guide for arms in raid, plz if annyone know, and a pov

grand sapphire
#

you still play 22 aa and skyreach as slayer anyway

minor gust
#

@latent moss had a fucking insane first pull btw on that 19 MC my first ever 2 BS in one CS

#

insane procs out my mind

lean geode
#

that's unethical

minor gust
#

legit hit 2nd BS with 3 sec left on CS

#

I sent that bitch

#

disgusting

tidal mulch
#

So...is there currently an issue with Deep Wounds not applying?

minor gust
#

be a little more specific

onyx gust
#

i never gonna hit that

#

but nice toi know is possible

rare kite
rare kite
#

okok i'm very curious now

tidal mulch
#

So, for example, I have talented into Decimator

minor gust
# onyx gust cool to see taht number

its a bit propaganda because its not a completed run xD but yes Slayer still does great damage and if its something you rather play over colo you can very much time high keys with it

tidal mulch
#

And the tooltip states that the final hit applies Deep Wounds at 100% effectiveness.

#

There are a couple other talents that mention applying deep wounds. But it never appears as an active bleed on a target.

minor gust
#

think default nameplates hides DW

#

because theres no reason to track it

#

so thats likely it look at the mob debuffs

#

when you target it

hybrid needle
#

Platynator and PlaterNameplates both hide deepwounds in the Bars aswell

onyx gust
#

slayer is my best

#

so far 170k oveall is pb

#

but still i think lack of dmg kills my run

minor gust
#

whats the key level? either way yeah 100k is pretty damn low

onyx gust
#

with 280 ilvl

#

thats why i dont touch colo

viral fiber
onyx gust
#

i just dont get the cooldown cut

minor gust
# onyx gust 13 pos

proper comp buffs tho really add up, but if dmg is low and you are confident in your button priorities. Then most comon problems people have is general wow mechanics such as uptime, positioning and CD usage.

onyx gust
#

i wasnt confident at all

#

i was like tf is going on with that spec

minor gust
#

its not much different than slayer tbh

#

its just dealing with demo and rav

onyx gust
#

well i dont get that part with cutting demolish CD

#

sometimes i see -10s

minor gust
#

send that bitch on CD

i never been so overwhelmed in my life than this season and expansion tbh

reminds me of how crazy priory was

10000 casters every pull

i keep waiting for them to bring us like a really really bad set of dungeons and i can just skip that season. temple of sethralis,toldagor, spires of ascension. idk the last one maybe uldaman but that one is personal

Some good ones to but the shite ones were really bad

Best were okay ones like halls

Literally if blizz ever just said fuck it and put 4 shadowlands dungeon in i wouldnt play

De other side, spires...

Is there a chance death recaps can be wrong?

#

I died first pull of AA because I got a Vile Bite for some reason with the tank alive

#

Then the rogue in my group said I lied and that the log showed me dying to a leap

nova marsh
#

Death recaps dont show your own

#

They show whoever died most recently irrx

rose matrix
#

I even had the personal aura from BigWigs pop up with the tank hit before I went from 100% to dead

nova marsh
#

How early into the pull

rose matrix

At the end the tank was kiting

rare kite
rose matrix

Idk man I am certain I ate a Vile Bite

#

If the tank is too far away will it target a close melee?

dark coyote
#

Could you guys check my logs while ignoring the death counts?
I’m trying to figure out why my DPS barely scales compared to other people. When I watch good Arms Warrior players on YouTube, their DPS just keeps climbing like crazy, but mine feels completely stuck.
I honestly can’t tell if it’s my rotation, uptime, positioning, or something else. Any experienced Arms Warrior players able to take a look and help me out? 🙏

Do I press cleave on 2t cleave like duo in spire?

wind hatch

otherwise you just do your st rotation

sterile owl

kk ty 😄

rare kite
#

i don't even know if we do that anymore as col after the buff

wind hatch
#

pretty small optimization though

rare kite
#

hmh slam 20.4k tooltip, cleave 16.8k plus 75% so 29.4. but slam has higher crit rate, applies deep wounds if crit and has a chance to proc hs

nova ravine
#

Slarms 10 spire, should i be using more OP on larger packs or continue to focus on removing the more dangerous mobs?

steep escarp
#

What button does your heart want to press?

nova ravine
#

execute

steep escarp
#

Good man.

#

OP should be higher though

nova ravine
#

tbf i killed a pack or two only using cleave and SD procs

#

like back to back SD the whole pack

onyx gust
#

lol i wish my execute is that high in details

#

so u just spam execute in aoe without sd proc?

nova ravine
#

if im focusing down something yes

onyx gust
#

hm

#

still better than mine 251 MS casts over 152 OP casts xD

#

ive seen critcake attack some dummy before starting key idk why tho

#

to get EP 2x?

#

or bladestorm buff

#

idk

hybrid needle
#

Bladestorm buff

#

It doesnt get reset

onyx gust
#

is it taht big changer?

#

at least he was doing that on aa

stable fiber
hybrid needle
#

The difference between a naked bs and 3 stacks is very noticeable yes, especially for AA if you can get the bs off. Sometimes it can be a hard timer with 60s

stable fiber
#

makes bladestorm tick 3 more times which is a lot on the first pull of algethar

onyx gust
#

Toy diff then

#

lmao

#

now i know why he manage to do 780k dps on first pull

hybrid needle
#

Keep in mind thise dummies keep you in fight and you cant stsrt a key infight.
Some people will kick u cause u annoy them

onyx gust
#

so um hit dummy get buff exit re enter and start key right after?

#

i think taht works no?

hybrid needle
#

Dont hit the Dummy after timer Hits 5

rare kite
#

idk how you do it without meld ngl

hybrid needle
#

5 seconds is the time needed to drop combat

onyx gust
#

is there few more tricks like that?

rare kite
#

can stack apex as well but the duration is so short, so it's key dependant

hybrid needle
#

Most other buffs get reset or arent long enough
You can prepot for dungeons like pos where the first pull happens almost instanrly to get a few seconds of extra pot usage

onyx gust
#

more i get into warrior specific things in rotation etc more im overwhelmed xD

hybrid needle
#

If everything was straight forward and easy to learn we would be called Hunter KEKW

onyx gust
#

some inside joke i think

nova ravine
#

you spelt fury wrong

hybrid needle
onyx gust
#

ah yeah that looks fine

#

and fun

rare kite
onyx gust
#

furry was alwyas piano spec

#

so he was always harder than arms

hybrid needle

Why is everyone who says "no joke" always joking

onyx gust
#

What is the best buff for slayer?

#

skyfury and?

rare kite
hybrid needle
#

Skyfury is p much Mandatory. I refuse to play without sham
Rest doesnt matter too much

onyx gust
#

they called me crazy when i say to pug no shaman no key

#

lmao

wind hatch
#

monk is also nice to have

#

ive done a couple of 20s without shaman but it wasnt fun

onyx gust
#

better to take crit buff or haste buff in aa

wind hatch
#

crit

hybrid needle
#

Monk, Druid, Hunter, Shaman all do great things for you technically. But the biggest loss is sham

hybrid needle
#

3% dmg on prio target

stable fiber
nova marsh
#

ahhh

rare kite
#

tbf as long as you don't take mast you're prob fine

stable fiber
#

yeah neither spec wants mastery

minor gust
#

mastery is fine

rare kite
#

not that mastery is a bad stat, it's just worse than the vers buff

minor gust
#

just dont take vers xD

stable fiber
#

but

#

its ok

rare kite
#

it's flat % frozen

stable fiber
#

both specs would take vers > mastery

minor gust
#

didnt know that

#

correction dont take healing recieved xD

stable fiber
#

yup

rare kite
#

lmaoo i forgot that's a thing

hybrid needle
#

Thats a thing?

wind hatch
#

healing received op

hybrid needle
#

I just always take crit cause its the first 1 and im too lazy to move keks

minor gust
#

real

rare kite
#

it being flat % does mean mastery for certain specs is insanely OP. or atleast it used to in DF for spriest for example

hybrid needle
#

But...Versa is flat% increase and Dr ontop

#

That makes no sense unless mastery was more %

rare kite
#

yes, which is why the above conversation says so

hybrid needle
#

But what was the reason thqt you picked it in DF over vers then ?

rare kite
#

or if you meant my example of it being OP on spriest

#

spriest gained very little mastery per stat but it was very valuable. Your damage is increased by 4.0% for each of Vampiric Touch, Shadow Word: Pain, and Shadow Word: Madness on the target. During Voidform, all targets receive the maximum effect. so it took like 100 of the stat to gain 1%(i'm paraprashing but whatever)

#

so for specs that have a strong mastery but low gain per rating flat percentage is OP

hybrid needle
#

Ah, variables

rare kite
#

maybe devourer dh takes mastery. since it's just flat damage that gets increased by over double in meta

onyx gust
#

well thats from aa right after crawth before we abandon that shyt is there anything sucipous?

slayer

tame jay
#

warrs still running arms slayer in high skyreaches and AA's? or colossus buffs caught up to slayer for those?

ebon rock

Imo you Can do Colo now. Havent done too much testing but I believe it’s viable

tame jay
#

i trust you and i will run it

ebon rock
#

Besides I hate going Slayer in AA cuz sometimes it’ll look like you’re a literal augmentation haha

#

If you have a feeling bosses Will be an issue for your group go Slayer. If not Colo is fine

hybrid needle
ebon rock

#

Sometimes when playing with tankdruids i end first pull as 4th okayge

ebon rock

Same 😆😆

minor gust
#

Kill lashers job done

ebon rock
#

Earlier on I used to be able to catch up by the end of the dungeon. Nowadays you can’t

hybrid needle
#

Well

#

See it like this:

#

End of dungeon their dps is 30% hungry lashers.
They usually are somewhere at your top 6 dmg

ebon rock
#

No doubt your prio damage is higher, but I’ve actually bricked a key or two cuz our overall damage on 1st pull was too low, cuz entire group was kinda multitarget and target capped

hybrid needle
#

I remember playing with a balance druid in his key, 18aa resi
He did 1.4m dps i did 450-ish

Now, he did 65k vile lasher dps i did 200

We fsiled that pull 3 times. Wanna take a guess who He blamed for it ?

Bold of you expect a boomie to starsurge for prio

He probably wasnt even playing the weaver build to get fee surges to use

Bro wdym press star surge there's like 40 mobs in this pull I'm pressing Starfall. Look my number big it says so right here

onyx gust
#

and rn i think too much overpower well fuck me

cant find sweet spot xd

thick kelp

There is no sweet spot for slayer

#

Its a bunch of RNG

#

that decides what your meter looks like

minor gust
rose matrix
#

I died to a Vile Bite tank hit my last AA because the tank used a bop macro and then I got blamed for it

onyx gust
#

maybe ure right but im trying so hard to find issue with my dps

#

and im started to think is wow mechanic not rotation at this point

little trellis
#

as slayer, how long is it ok to hold cds to sync them?

rose matrix
#

You really only hold BS for CS

#

And Avatar for CS

little trellis
#

so hold as long as necessary?

onyx gust
#

Also should i use battle potion before or after bl?

rose matrix
little trellis
#

word

rose matrix
onyx gust
#

i mean before cast or after cast

#

or that dosent matter

hybrid needle
#

Its not on gcd soo whenever really

little trellis
#

is aoe opener: charge->rend->avatar/potion/racial+CS->BS->3x cleave.. ?

onyx gust
#

or im mistaken

rare kite
#

you could have just gotten a weapon proc at the same time and then it becomes haste if stats are close

rose matrix
#

You guys ever get deleted first pull of SR? I got Blade Rush dot then like 2 seconds later got hit with Dread Wind and a Chakram at the same time

hybrid needle
#

Cant say that happened to me. I usually dbts + dstance when i have dot + dread wind

rose matrix
#

Yea I did

#

Still died

#

Did not expect it

little trellis
#

what key level?

rose matrix
#

Only 20

mystic vigil
#

do yall think crushing force talentwill start being picked with the MS buffs in m+?

mystic vigil
#

it would be taken over stance mastery

distant echo
rose matrix
#

I think I just got hit by the dot, dread wind, and chakram on the same tick

rare kite
mystic vigil
#

roger

hybrid needle
#

I mean i also sometimes died from ONLY the dot cause healer was doing idfk what

rose matrix
#

I don't remember the damage values but it was all within 0.8 seconds

#

I may have not been topped off tho

#

My log got deleted when I entered this dungeon

onyx gust
#

what is All Stars in warcraft logs?

hybrid needle
#

Hard to tell. Dot shouldnt have Ticked too hard and dreadwind shouldnt do more than 40-50% with everything up, chakram even less

leaden drum
#

so is colossus better in AA and SR now? has anyone reached a verdict

rose matrix
#

If you're out of range of your target does FoB still work?

hybrid needle
onyx gust
#

lower = better?
or higher

dim basalt
hybrid needle
#

Higher. All star points are like rio but measured in dps and time needed to kill

dim basalt
#

Isnt it just the rank on each boss compared to R1 tho?

#

Ah well, both kinda

hybrid needle
#

Its a lil more complex but.. read for yourself

#

Need a phd

stable fiber
#

@thick kelp question, did the fury sim guys try adamantite mainhand and oil offhand

idk how to do the sim but i tried to figure it out for like 20 mins

hybrid needle
dim basalt
#

some bosses are removed from all stars if the boss is degenerate

#

Love that wording

thick kelp
stable fiber
#

because the picture gio sent me it looked like it was 2 adamantite stones, 2 oils and 2 midnight stones

#

and the bis for surv hunter is actually adamantite stone main hand and oil offhand

#

so like

thick kelp
#

when did I send you pics

stable fiber
#

it was gio

#

mb

smoky kayak
stable fiber
#

i see

smoky kayak
#

they're not as strong as they sound; wdam is outright inferior to AP under the new (BfA) damage formula

stable fiber
#

is 1 str still 2 ap or has that changed

#

think the full html report says actually

smoky kayak
#

no, that changed a long, long time ago

candid garden
#

Voidclaw glove good?

smoky kayak
#

attack power hasn't been a stat in a decade, it's the sum of the damage formula

stable fiber
candid garden
#

If i have the glove should i try to get the shadow dmg neck too?

stable fiber
#

no

#

that proc isnt very good

smoky kayak
#

AP = (Primary Stat + Weapon DPS * 6)
which is then multiplied by the ability's coefficient and all relevant damage multipliers, versatility, etc

stable fiber
#

i see

candid garden
#

Beloren trinket bad in m+?

stable fiber
#

its still very good though

candid garden
#

If we chain pull a lot is it worse?

stable fiber
#

i dont know how the trinket works entirely.

if the buff resets when you leave combat then chain pulling is bad, if the buff stays the same when you leave combat then you probably wanna chain pull still

#

chain pulling is generally just really good for arms

#

so i wouldnt play around the trinket no matter how it works

candid garden
#

I interpret it like it doesnt regen until you drop combat but i havent tested

stable fiber
#

yeah

#

if it resets only through combat then you are rewarded more by chaining

#

it does say it regenerates out of combat, not sure how fast

candid garden
#

I use gaze + algethar puzzle atm but i think i wanna swap put puzzle

stable fiber
#

yeah you should

#

not having to think about trinkets is imo a pretty big increase for a spec that really likes to chain and is target capped

balmy kindle
#

Throw that PB in the binokayge

smoky kayak
#

so if you have 2,155 strength and are using a 298 2h with 101.4 DPS, your AP is
(2155 + 101.4 * 6) = 2763.4

the adamantite stone increases that to 102.5 DPS, so your AP becomes
(2155 + 102.5 * 6) = 2770

the MN stone instead gives you 15 AP, which is added onto the back of the formula
(2155 + 101.4 * 6) + 15 = 2778.4

#

now, the adamantite stone gives you a very small amount of crit which more or less makes up for AP difference, but its still only more or less on par with the MN stone

candid garden
#

Are those better than the haste crit oil?

stable fiber
smoky kayak
#

which means it's still wholly inferior to regular oils, which give 16 crit

stable fiber
#

ok that makes more sense

#

to be fair i thought it added 3 flat weapon dps

#

but i am wrong

smoky kayak
#

it adds weapon damage, not DPS

stable fiber
#

yeah

#

i did think there was a world where you had the same scenario as surv with it on your mainhand and then oil on offhand, but if its just equal to the MN stones then it doesnt really matter

#

cause the MN stones are already worse then the oils

smoky kayak
#

strictly speaking, it's not even equal, it's slightly worse than the MN stone in most cases

candid garden
#

So i should try to get the crit proc trinket from voidspire

stable fiber
#

aight ty that answered a question that was bugging me all day

smoky kayak
#

this is the one I did for Arms the other day

balmy kindle
#

Yes ancient heart very good and m vora easy to beat

smoky kayak
#

and the same for Fury

stable fiber
#

oh gio linked me a arms sim...

#

smh

smoky kayak
#

if you were strictly concerned with using TBC vs MN stones, yeah you may find a way to justify it, but there's no reason not to just use oils

#

idk what hunters are doing, maybe they have a really weird relationship with critical strike or something

rose matrix
stable fiber
#

idk how much it has to do with the stone, but they have a lot of auto attack damage increases with a lot of high ap scaling on some abilities

#

also attack speed increases

smoky kayak
#

shouldn't matter; +15 AP is going to be higher than +4wdam, which happens before multiplying the coefficient

#

in which the higher number is obviously better

thick kelp
#

Higher number = better

smoky kayak
#

the only difference is the small amount of crit from adamantine, but if they like the crit you'd think Oil would be better regardless

thick kelp
#

groundbreaking finds in warrior discord

stable fiber
#

faster attack speed or smth

#

cant imagine that being good in aoe however

rose matrix
#

I used one on my mainhand on my Survival hunter

#

Oil on offhand

stable fiber
#

yeah they do that

#

but only with daggers

#

interesting

rose matrix
#

I think it's only Survival though

#

Don't think any rogues do it

high ether
#

hey guys, is the dwarf racial like one eye of the eagle enchant? and does it stack additively with eye so its 6% crit dmg? or

smoky kayak
#

still feel like Oil would probably be better, but again idk shit about Survival (nor do I really care tbh)

stable fiber
#

4/1.8 = 2.222222

#

so ig it makes more sense

#

and they get some attack speed buffs

smoky kayak
#

that shouldn't matter

stable fiber
#

yeah ur right

#

i forget that the attack speed does noting

#

just the wpds

smoky kayak
#

it applies to everything equally

#

and yeah, dam formulas use base attack speed, not modified

stable fiber
#

so the dwarf racial just acts as another 2%

high ether
#

thx

earnest imp
#

is that mini boss is MC impossible on high keys (19) without a pally?

Maybe NPX for rings

so just spam in pit if u are a fresh character

Rings are good for m+ too

stable fiber
#

jewelry is kinda ass

#

from seat

rose matrix

They sim better for me in both aoe and st even for Colossus

stable fiber
#

yeah you want 2 crit haste rings for m+ and colossus

#

raid is npx set

rose matrix
#

That's what I mean

#

the NPX set simmed better for me

#

On colossus

#

Even in aoe

#

Whats the point of taking Wrecking Throw without Javelenir in M+?

thick kelp
#

theres no point

#

people just dont think or bother to swap

#

it has some uses in keys like mc

#

without javelineer

rose matrix
#

Maybe swap it for Second Wind or something like that

late lantern
#

Swapped it for Fast Footwork now but i guess second wind is better the higher the key

rose matrix
#

Either or is fine tbh

late lantern

How much dmg does it do to shields on average?

alot

rose matrix

Not sure tbh but not really many uses for it outside of 2nd boss in mc

you drop 3 talents that make mortal strike do more damage

i was talking about the st rotation

Not sure exactly how you do it but I have done it

i usually just bought a token before it expired

it just asks if you want a token

you just need like 400k+ gold

Do people actually pay for that

So, coming from playing Prot where its virtually never worth stance swapping I have a question for the DPS warriors. Realistically speaking, how often are you actually swapping to defensive stance?

thorn stream

if big dmg comes in

idk i get like 100k per run

you do more dmg if you live in the long run keks
