have slam on it
I mean its super versatile
Very punny
Its just not good for war yet
Slayer or Colossus for AA?
Slayer, 1st pull it's going to look like dog but you'll catch up
The entire dudgeon is a ST slogfest outside of 1st pull
aye aye captain o7
Just help burn lashers down for 1st pull and it's gucchi
also, do y'all be running battlelord or massacre + critical thinking ?
Massacre + CT is better
ty ty the faq build doesn't have it like that
Faq builds usually end up being out of date. You can just grab the build from wowhead
slayer in general feels better for boss damage
i swear with the st buffs on colossus it feels so much better
Demolish is just the most ass ability ever
feels like i have more control over Demolish compared to Bladestorm
in terms of cd's aligning
at the end of the day both specs are very good and you can just play whatever you enjoy more in any key
slayer just feels so reliant on those sudden death procs for me, feels p bad. but also Demolish not critting feels bad too so give and take
As someone who played both but going to 20s , feel both have pros and cons
Higher keys you really feel the difference in boss damage though
but one has extra dr 
Yeah colosuss is definitely a lot tankier too which helps a ton in the higher keys
honestly in the groups I run 20s with my main concern is not dying
^^ kinda true 
farming M parses 
What other parses youd farm ? HC is too easy
Kinda hard to parse on M if group is not amazing
Like on imp the highest I can do is 92 since kill slow, group is near enrage 
jesus christ 5 failed nexus in like the first 5 minutes
Yes but rng can help
im losing my mind
Yeah but this raid kinda bad for parsing too with too many adds
Like to get a high parse, one must pad the adds 
Man almost got salad bar down this week
, was at 10%, yeah it's a pad fest too due to the balls
if overall damage was all that mattered sin rogue's being able to snipe low health mobs would make it op ๐
guild doesn't allow me to pad even when salad is on farm
I have myth helm, shoulders, cloak, and boots, plus some trinkets, why is it so damn hard to pick a dungeon to try and get my other slots
it'll be a risk no matter what
is gaze a huge upgrade?
for most people it generally is
Quite on M and even H
just farm pit
pit has so much loot I don't need. ๐ I took the ring from vault
well hero gaze will helps a lot xd
????????
Just bonus roll, ancient heart on M is huge too
pit literally has everything you need if you are running arms
i have 25% chance to drop it
so i was asking my self
what is better, 2 piece of Mythic Set and its 100% sure or mythic gaze that is 25% to drop from bonus roll
cause i dont have more
Just gamba
You cannot escape
I didn't get my M gaze this week but I'mma just gamba next week
its 33% to drop if you are speced as protection
^^
yeah just need to think about it
Note that if you have M heart of wind or H feather, M gaze is only about 0.6-0.8% upgrade
So it's not end of the world
Just gamba next week until you get it
Just got a 100 parse in a +16
I showed my logs to my doctor; he said I was morbidly a beast
๐ช
I feel like my char is poorly optimized/geared and was wondering if this 1 target 3 min sim with M+ build is good?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5yij6HCdbf8ivVUDDKdtxS
Same goes for this 8target 1 min sim https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/6sYzX7nX6JNHpiDRQrevjN
Easy is relative though, not having CE will make pugging quite painful
guys need quick opener for st in raid as slayer
Just make your own group and put minimum 280 ilvl and ce only
ez
Slap down 2 markers for tanks and then 2 for madness
do we not cleave 2 targets? So on Vanguard mythic just cleave when you can get the HS procs off and otherwise just SS your singletarget abilities?
Asking "Is my sim good?" is stupid
You should be asking "Am I playing well enough to match my sim"
Im not, i know that, but i was also wondering if my sim is as expected for the ilvl
Yeah, it looks fine
It's deceptive because you have full raid buffs turned on though
In practice you will never hit 92k DPS ST without lust
But also
Is my char poorly optimized?
Every single piece is either crit/haste or a tier piece

Im hitting 109k st no vantus sim
What its one of the less popular classes lol
not a chance right now
how do you guys best handle rend uptime in aoe? I have a duration timer, but that's only for my target which leads me up often drop it on the other targets since my main target gets refreshed automatically
does it mean i click good or still have to works on rotation
second boss heroic voidspare
You need gear
Yeah
right now its probably
druid>paladin>monk>dk>dh>hunter>shaman>lock>warrior>priest>mage>evoker>rogue
Well actually nah
for popularity of classes
On paladins I could sustain 400k for some time
uf thanks
Monk being carried by brew and mw this szn
Thats bc warriors been at bottom meters for so long, but people like to abuse meta specs so theyre coming soon for arms
In m+ it felt shitty still but I only did joke keys
meta slaves ๐คข
yeah ofc
Yeaa
people arent going to suddenly switch to arms
I alt ww monk, but bro theyre sooo fkn squishy
DK and DH is fotm
its super close but it does not beat the meta
but fun to play
100%
what is the meta anyway?
dk isnt fotm, the class is always good so there are alot of dk players
Theyre right behind the meta comp
dh is though
dk is more like flavor of all the time
The meta is like brew/guardian, unholy dk, devourer, demonology, resto shaman
Idk the healers
Tbh
mistweaver not mentioned
Guardian, MW, Aug, Dk, Dev
meta is bear/mw/aug/dk/dev
That's the meta
Demonology?
no
Wtf
demonology is good but it doesnt fit into the comp
Yeah it's really good damage but basically right below meta
its popular though
Arms and demonology is right below the comp..
demo > ddh
They just gotta fix colossus st
just not true man
a good demo lock > a mid ddh though
is true
ddh lowk kind hard to play at bleeding edge
not as hard as col arms
its only cringe cuz u gotta time your meta expirations
i promise u
for dps amps
and ramp your meta
so you 4th star into the amp on nxp
or crawth
otherwise its easier than colo arm
If you're not 99 you need to click gooder
low skill floor high skill ceiling ddh
its so easy to learn but the ceiling is infinite
high floor high ceiling col arms
i mean i could do more if i wait with bladestrom for adds on that boss
Its also based on rng procs with ur execute
but anything 80+ im happy with it
But their talent situation is soo cringe
1 build is the best for
Then do so
all scenarios
thats like the oposite of cringe
id kill for something like that on arms
eh
i think chim
just ruins everything
terrible fight
4 different playable builds on that boss and they are all correct depending on the scenario
just so shit
Because idiot Blizzard creates entire raids around grip
And lock gates
If youre dk or lock you will be getting sucked off in every raid
i just dont get the raid buff argument
That too
you do the most damage, you have a battle res, you are the tankiest class in the game, you arent in a rwf guild so you copy the liquid strat and they like always have 2 dks on the end boss because grips are infact needed
like if anything rogues should be complaining about a raid buff
rogues dont have shit
paladins too but paladins atleast have a battle res
Rogues are useless
Hasn't dk been in the meta comp for like 3 seasons straight now
not to mention the rogue raid buff sometimes just doesnt even work on some bosses
But better than when they were mandatory for stealth skips in BfA
The problem with blizzard meta is it doesn't really change like metas should
Yep
s1 tww - frost
s2 tww - unholy
s3 tww - frost
s1 mn - unholy (frost is the best spec in raid right now)
You know what is funny
We're in for frost being meta next season low key
I could see it
actually ik frost was good in raid in s1
but was it even good in m+
because shaman existed
3.5 they were meta for a decent amount of s1 tww before being replaced by enhance
About to start M Salhadaar prog, is FoB+Whirlwind a legit strat?
Phys comp almost got world first MT24 
Phys is also really strong if you let it be strong
None of the top logs are using FoB
give up on Salhadar logs
nobody really knows healers but priest was meta in m+ for awhile
Its padded to the extreme
Got nerfed too hard and dropped for enhance
i see
These goobers prolly hit small adds only
The talent builds people are running aren't padding builds though
it was still good though
It's the standard 2T cleave slayer
Thats a decent pad build
dh tank has been good but dh dps hasnt really been insane
If you pop BS
besides midnight
And fury runs thane which is ultra pad
Yea was still good and unholy went under the radar before ppl discovered it s2 tww
I don't think that word means what you think it means
I feel like Havoc is really good too but overshadowed by Dev
I see some of them pumping
Yep
both dh and dk specs are like crazy in raid and m+
i feel like havoc and frost are better in raid
Imagine 2 specs in meta
then ddh and unhoyl are better in m+
Noob mistake to not play dk atp
its pretty close for warrior but we just always suck in raid now
they have 1/2 dps meta specs every season
and are typically pretty strong in m+
cope if you say otherwise
just not the meta comp
phys comp is about as meta as it can get this szn
Aye nice to be good for once
Brain doesn't like it. I've tried to force myself several times. Only like warrior and windwalker
Phys comp is giga strong with the right people ye
i think frost is insanely good gameplay with a shaman
yep
unholy is ass
I think shaman buff holds too much power
rune weapon is a fun button, big fan of that
i like to play frost when i need to feel what really good short cooldowns feel like
instead of the slop on fury and somewhat arms
Ill just play warrior even if it sucks
push reapers mark and pillar and do 300k dps for like 10 seconds
so peak
45 second cds btw
i have 2 myth chest piece one with avoidance one with leech what is better?
they need to make colossus smash hit hard
or make mortal strikes after hit hard
just crazy how miserable arms is on the pull of a raid boss
Hmh sounds like legion arms. Good times
Anytime you pull a boss without rage is so bad on Arms
waiting for blizzard to take any of our suggestions to make CS crank
I could see the agro death with CS having high damage lol
yeah but dks play around it
frost atleast
you know that if you push reapers mark and pillar you are gonna burst for 1.5m dps on like 6 targets
so you just afk for a bit
True, arms nees globals to ramp feels bad on start of pulls
Also very miserable when you need to swap targets
The main issue is
Opener with couple SD stacks = massive
Without = complete garbage
^^ don't you love it 
I love having parse destroyed because of huge rng
apex stacks are so fucking strong rn
5 stacks of heroic might on a colossus smash is super juice
Jokes aside yeah it's pretty annoying ngl with RNG
Slarms is basically just outlaw at this point
Casino spec
the rng has become less annoying with more gear
thatll probably continue as the expansion progresses
so w/e
To me both hero talents feel pretty bad in st for whatever reason
In aoe I have fun but st is pretty sad to play imo
if you try to play slayer with 400 haste on a new character, bladestorm never lines up with avatar/cs
Tuning problem 
I like Fury too but I hate how Rampage does nothing
I feel like it would be so much better with less Rampage casts but it hit really hard
Well madox has a pretty nice mt guide which summarized = hit 
I tend to agree with hitting 
hard agree, apex ruined fury lol
arms needs something to generate rage, skullsplitter would've been nice at this point(earliset version, the one that just gave focking rage and was hasted)
Simple, just make charge generate more rage or Op to gen rage 
Band aid fix but it's whatever at this point
I mean, op should give 8 rage when it hits 35% target yes
Bring back taking damage = rage
rend generating rage is so shit, it needs to go, replace it with something else
I wouldnt say the rng is less annoying

Just less noticeable
in M+, after I afvatar+Smash am I suppose to cleave 3x or bladestorm first
Hey everyone, got two questions. The add spawn on dragons is HP based or timer based? And to get the cd usage shown from lorrgs which addon do I need? Thanks!
Timer
Just send bs
Rage increases should be like 15-20
, single digit rage increase feels like shite
We had more rage gain in classic lmaoo
we had more rage throughout classic and wrath (maybe cata)
but that wasnt because of shit like talents
rage normalization was good for the class so
you shouldnt have to be full bis and fully world buffed to have a working rage bar, that is super dogshit lmao
Now you only need shaman and you still wont have that good rage
you still needed a shaman
this game would suck without rage normalization holy
you get a weapon upgrade and its a 40% dps upgrade lmfao
1 auto attack in full bis caps your rage bar
chills
I think TWW was the only expansion where blue man made little diff 
Like I remember having so much rage
Had a few runs at colossus, it feels so good to play again
But harder in pugs
Had to go slayer for skyreach, and after 2-3 keys as colossus it felt so weird to play
Timer on fights, you can use nsrt, with the reminder function I think
But keep in mind, some fights are planned on their dps/tacs so it wont always line up perfectly
If you just copypasta
On Vanguard mythic, is cleave lowest prio when hitting only 2target? So MS > HS > OP > Cleave?
Wowutils is also a good option i guess
If you have ravager going id say cleave jumps up a bit, but i dont remember the exact prio
wouldnt you hold ravager if possible for when ure hitting 3 though
not too long obviously
Yeah if you could make sure to have all 3 for the full duration
Thanks mate
Na that was df
Past like s1 you had literal infinite rage
True DF S2 was infinite rage to the point dumping rage to IP for dmg was a thing
slam > cleave unless you have 3 stacks of collat
and yeah ALWAYS hold ravager for 3 target
Thanks!
Can we now comfortably run Colo in all keys 21+?
Prolly trolling on SR still
yes
plenty of 22's and even the only 23 are colo
Even SR?
im talking about sr
I have alot of haste and even then in execute phase so am i rage hungry as fuck, is it only me?
Bueeeno
I see SHai did 23 SR as colo, that's great news ๐
Damage between the two should be really close and colo has the plus of being more tanky, which helps a lot in this key
Isnt that trolling or is the buff that nice
All the bosses are st except some 2t cleave
Yeah slayer is paper
They pull funnel ๐
Sr has always been viable for colo
Has nothing to do with recent buffs
Col fucks in skyreach
Given you have a good tank
you fuck in Skyreach
Might have some problem for 1st and 2nd boss
Since nobody pulls stuff
But 3rd and 4th has some funnel potential
haste is rage neutral
Ye slayer might be slightly better dmg wise depending on routing, but itโs also squishy which sucks
holy shit you only need AA and seat to be 23 resil. big gratz
Need to be aggressive in using dstance and staying in dstance more than colo
brew,rsham,feral,rogue,warr
But even in dstance you're considerably squishier
Yeap for sure, at 19-20s it's alr quite noticeable too
Demolish also makes mobs do less dmg to self
Npx what we wanna play these days im just doing 19
how do you correctly reflect the beam on seat lura?
do you fully tank it or just run through it really fast?
do you maybe need another def cd to not die to a second tick?
doing a 20 npx so same q i guess we just play FULL Col these days ?
well dip that to a 19
tank outpaced the healer and then died
Stupid question but did haste gives more ticks on BS? cause i feel like with BL, BS do so much more damage
can play both in npx
The tank buster is related to the stacks on the boss, you taunt during beams at 3 stacks. Biz made a vid on it earlier in the season. Not sure if you can reflect the actual spinning beams though
no way
maybe one tick cause sr is dumb
like u can reflect one tick of silence on 2nd boss magisters
when u walk into the circle
btw if u sr and walk into the circle and u dont get silenced before boss does the cast cause u reflected a tick
u will be silenced for the full duration
if someone can log review my last post would be really grateful ๐
guys, lets assume i can play all 4 dps specs of warrior well, for cosmos, which one do recommend for first kill?
if you have to ask this question you go to warcraftlogs and pull the talents off top parses of the difficulty you are doing
slarms and just hit the boss
kinda terrible advice thatll just get you to pad like crazy instead of going for a kill
name one boss of the current tier that this doesn't apply to and actual "best" talent setup is different from top parses
dunno dont care its still bad advice
brother
with that logic you wouldve played ST talents on rashanan
you literally do though
rashanan ads are crazy pad that's not worth ruining your ST over
to still let a hunter overpad you
guilds were literally chain wiping to rashanan the week after the adds were removed from parsing

Progression > Parse
got mythic 4s , rings, and weapon, crafted wrists and cloak - whats the best dungeon to roll if I cant get my hands on raid trinkets. also still missing boots and hands. feel like windspire should be good and hope for hands/boot or trinket?
are you 100% sure pugging the first mythic bosses is out of the question for you they are very very puggable
maybe it is.... but I never found a group yet that invited me allthough I have 9/9H - I might have to tank it myself to get a chance haha
they all care for CE only
I see prog runs sometimes
or that
i understand its gonna be more difficult this late into the season without the achievement but im sure you can push your way through
and your rewards are the best trinkets you can get
Option 1: have high ilvl
Option 2: have already killed the bosses on mythic
Option 3: trade the raid leader 10k gold for a spot
sometimes i have target that is far from me and i press button just to do nothing cause target is to far. Is there a macro that will target nearest enemy? i did one but whenever i press OP or MS it changes target xd
yeah i know i can click TAB to change target but my fingers wont allow me to
/startattack```
or if you want a hard switch at a /cleartarget as the first line
as such:
```/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/startattack```
does anyone know why the cdm sound alert on sweeping strikes being removed stopped giving a sound in combat?
it wont switch target everytime i click spell?
also i need to make macro for MS/OP/EXE with it?
or is that just TAB thing but in macro
no the [dead] makes sure of that, that flag only allows a retarget is current target is dead
if you want it for every skill then yes
that works then?
its just a font
#showtooltip Overpower
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/startattack
/cast Overpower
it looks like that
but font changes [ to (
but yes
might want to test it in the world before a raid/dungeon though
with how shit tab targetting is in retail rn I might switch to these macros myself
good idea
idk how it works
but i have 60% keyboard and i dont have enough space in pull to click tab also
a lot of shit happening
to focus on that also
xD
hmm i have very little issues with tab
Is anyone here able to offer some help with my rotation? Brand new arms player
/startattack on its own targets the closest enemy if you have no target you don't need other things if that's all you want to do
I don't even use tab target. Tab is actually my kick

What is tab targeting even useful for
changing targets without much effort
Unless you need it to optimize your spec
I just click the nameplate or the boss frames
And it targets the next target that is casting
Which is nice with a bunch of adds cluttering the nameplates
Every situation I am in is mostly just a focus kick
In what situation do you need to do both?
think of one yourself im not gonna justify the usefulness of tab targetting to you
its not necessary but its nice to have
I mean you brought up the point I was just asking what you mean
It is useful no matter what, but if you got used to not using it, whatever
Never had to do both
can you seriously not come up with a scenario where you need to change your camera to avoid something while also needing to kick something reactively
He means you press down your mouse for the camera and cant target your kick at the same time
Due to pressing down
I honestly have not really ran into that issue which is why I didn't understand him
There are situations
When there is a caster it'll switch to that and you can kick it right after
or that's how it should work, it just doesnt at times since TWW S1 because blizzard coding
Yea I knew that. If I really need to move and target someting I usually just jump or something
Wasn't trying to be obtuse
But most of the groups I get in everyone has a marker for their kick or you can just use a mouseover focus
I've always used tab unless I need focus/boss frame specific things
No issues with it other than sometimes it'll not pick the caster (like when your kick is on cd)
But that's a knowledge check not a problem with the function necessarily
yea and it has an internal cooldown as well for smart targetting, like a second
it's so weird
I just use focus kick most of the time and if I need to swap I can just swap it with a mouseover macro rq
Can usually do it preemptively
I did see a macro that tab targets, kicks, then returns to your previous target
Yeah but that's not necessarily optimal or the best thing to do every time either
There are situations and situations
I think learning to use all options for all situations is better than outright excluding them
That macro is cursed
Is it really? Never used it
The one I saw focused your focus first if you had one but would do the rest if you didn't
I didn't use it because it did seem like it would be a bit much
It not picking the caster if your kick is on cd sounds pretty terrible
Ye annoying for stops
If there is warcraft logs to choose what to play, raidbots to tell me what trinket to use and stats, what the fuck do we have this channel for
You can't look at top parse and decide what feels best for a prog run in a mediocore guild, i am asking for other people's experience
we are here to judge people asking questions
Play slayer arms or slayer fury whatever you prefer tbh
Hit boss
If youre still pondering
Played fury, it was better
Be ready to hate your life 15 yards out of melee range aiming an obelisk

If you got more haste than crit, how much damage are you losing by using lights potential instead of reckless pot?
Youre prob gaining then
Because you want reckless to proc crit
Yeah, what i mean is how much worse is lghts potentianl generally than reckless
Not much
Heavily depends on your stats
For me its only a diff of like 800 dps
(with vantus enabled in sim)
yh, i got eye of midnight, simming 1,2k more than my current ring but throws my haste above crit
Even with crit flask?
yes, not by much but it does
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/dhL1A9YJc3TvMGxj?fight=2&type=damage-done
i need help pls. what am i doning wrong.
wtf, always wondered why ppl had heavy knothide on their gloves
it works

thought it was a meme like the fishing enchants
feels like you may be holding cds too much
1.4cpm on cs and 1.6cpm on demo seems low to me
it also looks like you are spamming cleave on single target
which you never want to do
(without funnel)
Oppa new npx record
Anything i should be doing differently or keeping in mind when playing with an aug?
Like holding cds if theyโre about to have breath or something
eyo tell nrbt that he's a good boy
Rgrds from the doc

Thats an interesting way to say "NOTE TIP" 
well i have all on cd then. do i use slam instead?
and some streamer say to keep demolish till avatar and smash aline, if they are just 10 sec on cd
is this right too or cap?
Sounds like you misunderstood something
You hold demo in st until you have cs
you just cast demo on cooldown in aoe, can keep it for cs if the cd of cs is less than 8-ish seconds
did they fix the SEAT tech, telport out and talent
no
check
well
hehe
xD
is puzzle box worth bonus rolling for as arms? currently got a HC version and a 285 gaze, sadly no luck for the HC hunger last week
Sure if u like cbt
Only worth if you don't mind the suffering that comes with it
i assume i should time it with every Avatar no? though it does feel pretty poopoo to use, specially in keys
i'm just surprised how high it sims compared to other trinkets
it just gives an absurd amount of stats and arms has dynamic cds
Real answer is just get the raid trinkets. Both bis raid trinkets are on easy bosses to pug on mythic
currently 281, not sure i'll get accepted to pugs but good shout!
Should I be looking to swap to defensive stance on targeted spells from elites/bosses in M+?
It's a case by case thing, you gotta learn with experience, but for safety jsut do it
you'll never deplete a key to using d-stance too much, but you'll deplete many keys to not using it enough
makes sense. thanks
If you see it's giga fine, then next time you know you won't need d-stance for it
the higher you go the more you depend on D stance 
not dying is better than losing some damage
I'm a tank main so I don't care too much about losing a bit of damage its just that I don't know when a healer cd is sufficient to survive a mechanic or when I should be exchanging defensives w/ specific mechanics.
on the higher keys i personally just use D stance when theres incoming unavoidable damage, not worth limit testing and bricking the key
Farm +10s and craft mythic gear at 285 ilvl
You can basically welfare your way to 290 ivl
also play prot and get free invs into 10s if u dont have frens
just hold down W key
yeah i was thinking about that, i'm actually pretty well off with many mythic pieces due to bonus rolls i just haven't acquired the crests yet
Put defensive stance on an easily accessible key and get into the habit of parrying. It's a 3s cooldown between toggling on or off and it literally increases your effective HP by like 50%
how do you guys handle regular spellcasters in higher keys?
when stuff like arcane bolts starts oneshotting people
kick rota on every mob ?
tried MT 20 all our deaths were just from regular casts going through
everyone holding kicks for stuff like poly or terror wave
but the regular spells + if u have a mechanic on you = insta death
how long do you hold CS if demo is on cd? Or do oyu just send and hope the CDR got you (for both st and aoe)
Use defensives
Stall bolts until the mechanic is resolved
Yeah, and sometimes u die if u bad
If u miss an interrupt u die in a cuttin edge key
You have to realise that m+ isn't balanced to be clearable at such high levels. Blizzard didn't balance this stuff to be reasonable at +350% damage output
I mean higher keys, the job is to not let cast through
U got so many stops these days
And if a cast has to go through, tank it with personal cooldowns and make sure it doesn't overlap with anything else
If you're doing +20 or above you should be able to co-ordinate that
i pug
so its rough
many times 2 or even 3 people kick the same thing and after that its just someones dies xd
Skill issue
Kick later
That's just how pug no coms goes
Or co-ordinate kick markers
why should I cast ravager before avatar in AoE?
because else u waste a second of avatar to ravager cast/gcd
oki, and ravager doesnt benefit from avatar? or is it pandemic (hope that was the right term)
I really really really miss being able to track my party member's kick cds
im holding my kick for next dungeon
hello is arms slayer available?
Yes
Ravagers damage is laughable
Ravager is just pressed for the buff which is why you just fart it out
Most mobs (not all) can be solo kicked, need to make a bind for marking a mob, if ur moon and we are in same grp I expect you 2 kick the moon marked mob
i guess u meant snapshot
That exists again with an addon forget what it's called think mini cc or something.
Yea its just bad tho
Their no addons thing was a failure that's for sure
We pretty much got most things back but it's all just worse
Because that's completely different code
But yeah they should have hired a team for it nonetheless
magisters solo kickable with arcane bolts and polys? what about the shadow bolt voidwalkers?
Yea I would not say most things are solo kickable
Most bolts can be solo'd by 2 melee kicks tho
Hire? Have you seen what Microsoft did to Activision after buying it? Lol
Oh yeah I'm just saying the definitely didn't hire more after merger
Yeah only thing they hired was Microsoft copilot
But yeah they should hit the rip cord and let weak auras come back
Not worse
Its temu // ali express
So worse?
More like a horrid amalgamation
Whats the best spec nw
first kill xD
anyone got the potion of reck macro ?
Id say wows base ui is the closest to actually being fully usable, and even then it needs addons
#showtooltip Potion of Recklessness

Itโs so ugly and dated though.
If they banned Elvui, Iโd finally quit for good.
I am a TellMeWhen shill. Ive replaced probably half a dozen add-ons with TMW at a fraction of the CPU usage. ElvUI, BetterCDM and BetterBars were using an average of 6% CPU. Replaced all with TMW - tadaa max avg 2%
I get good fps with Elvui so cpu usage is no problem
Anyone else feel like low rolling sudden death procs on slayer is so frequent that the spec feels like shit
Personal taste
I think elvui looks gross
Yep. Feast or Famine
Glad I'm not the only one, feels absolutely garbage
theres some degenerate RNG with slayer right now. You either hate it or dont mind it
just how it is right now
hopefully gets adjusted in the future
It's ironic too because you were spammed with sudden death procs as slayer fury in 11.2
couldn't even get through them you'd just send for CDR or if you didn't get a raging blow refund
I regularly go 30 seconds without an execute proc
then ill get 4 in 5 globals
I am unfortunately on the hate it side
Slayer feels like outlaw gamba on steroids sometimes
you hate it at times then you proc out your mind and get 2 BS inside 1 CS on first pull MC and do giga dmg
It's actually the most unfun garbage, especially when col is so smooth and predictable and under your control
Feels as garbage as AR havoc at the moment, you can proc 10 souls in 6 globals or literally go 30 full seconds without proccing a single soul and lose glaives despite full uptime during those 30 seconds
But yes crit rng is easier to swallow then just "oh you didnt get procs lmao get fucked
me when my things dont crit on colo
Outside of battlelord low rolls Col is pretty low variance
yeah for the most part its just crit rng.
Slayer is omega casino right now no denying that
They need to stop with random proccing garbage being how your spec performs. More shit that is under my control, less sitting here praying the game lets me play
And with crit rng we can kinda stack the deck in our favor
its more of the layers of RNG slayer theres too much. Slayers strikes, SD, Reap. It all works together too which is why you can see these super highs and lows
insanely boring
Sometimes I wonder if the reason blizz wanted to remove sd reap was to reduce the rng
At least for aoe (not that that was a good idea anyways lmao
im hoping they remove BS CDR and add BS back to AM, and increase reap proc chance from cleave.
Im on board with that
that would hopefully be enough to tone it down
Its very simple. You tune reap to something that can consistently proc off of cleave, and then tuen the damage to basically just make it a buff to cleave damage. Then add reap to execute from sudden deaths, but again tune both so that the damage isn't out of control and the influx of sudden deaths is smoother, or more under your control
Did the ST buffs to colo happen this week or is it next?
Critcakeโs video 2 days ago he said โnext weekโ
its still bad in single target
Give me reap with MS back
So threw me off

Disappointing
Iโve yet to go back to colo bc I pug 90% of my keys
I believed you btw
Woo, 50/50 bonus roll on Pit gave me the choker. Now I don't know if I have the guts to try again when so much of the dungeon pool I don't need.
Just go thrown off by what criticake said in the video
yeah idk how they tune arms to be decent in single without making the spec absolutely disgusting
unless they like tune autos or something
At the 19-20 key range, I'd say about half of my pug tanks bring funnel onto bosses. Might be worth even with pugs
maisara xd
Maybe more than half. Idk its fairly common
bro is aura farming us
hay crit love you :^)
I spoke him into existence

I mean they could just do the rogue route and make everything work the same in aoe lol
I still can't get over that their fix for Sin and Sub aoe was to give them blade flurry basically
At least in TWW
They could buff single target but they'd probably have to nerf sweeping strikes and meat cleaver
Prob a shit idea but maybe just have a talent that does more damage to primary target?
I dunno.
we just need one of the many talents other specs have to let X aoe button do big dam, reduced by 5% per target hit down to a certain point
on demolish
and make MS/OP better in ST/clean up SD rng somehow
colo would probably be fine with just the demo change
Its not a new concept when your aoe is just you doing your single target but it cleaves but it frequently causes problems.
its fine if they use the tuning knobs they have, they regularly buff outlaw st and reduce blade flurry, and very often fiddle with SP psychic link
if they think our 2t is too good they can just make sweep a lower %
demo being ass in ST is the main issue really, and is fixed by using the same ideas they have already used on many other specs
hello.. how much mastery should i aim for as colossus?
You sim your gear and wear what the sim tells you to
What kind of DPS are yall running up until grawth in academy
I envy u, I need 3 itens from there out of 6 this week.
Got the 3 I don't need ๐
For the remainder of this season I think I'm literally just after the second ring from NPX and the gloves from Seat, so... that's like five resets away

It is nice for arms to have basically its entire BiS accessible from the first half of raid
Are voidclaw gauntlets sim bait or nah? Should I get the crit haste gloves in windrunner spire?
what does that macro do?
it cancels the secondary stat weapon enchant procs before using potion of recklessness to guarantee that it gives you crit instead of haste
only worth using if your weapon enchant proc will make your haste higher than crit but ideally you should try to prevent that from happening
Ah ok I see, ty for explaining!
what expac was the golden age for arms warrior
mop classic has played with 2-5 arms warrior the entire xpac
but its mostly because of support, arms itself is like bottom ST spec in the game
does anyone know / have an addon or setting that can show me when my weapon procced its enchant?
Depends
Last tier of wod Arms was saucy. Legion near the end was great, BFA meme tier was amazing. Solid all of dragon flight.
I think arms was best whenever you just had to stack crit/mastery and execute hit like a nuclear bomb
yes nothing changes
unfortunately people dont care
also dk gets a decent amount of funnel from that (not even close to what arms gets but)
if a unholy uses cds on first set he is griefing anyways
you should leave that alive if you have a arms warrior
2nd set needs to die or tank dies
Question on weapon enchant:
WoWhead has Acuity of the Ren
Archon shows Jan'alai's Percision
Which are we using?
All the DKs I see just send on the first Germinate and delete everything
It trolls the funnel pretty hard for basically no gain
Other than a higher overall
What exactly are we funneling from and to? like which ability is being enabled by the funnel for us?
So grief
is there a reason I see so many top raid logs use rend as the first or second global on ST? feel like i'm missing something
We use what sims best
Tbh if you had the same ability to delete all the funnel and make your numbers look big you would too .
Not really
If I did I would play Colossus instead of Slayer
And Unholy gets big numbers regardless if they save for 2nd set or not
Tried a 19 Skyreach as col. Its not bad at all honestly
does anyone have a macro for stance swapping from defensive to battle
and vice versa
Once you get past those first 2 bosses you're cruising
You can get funnel on them but it requires a good amount of coordination
Zero funnel on any bosses, still managed 75-80k singletarget which feels alot better than tankdps
what is best dung to spam for new arms to use rolls in? Got 12 rolls this week .....
pit
for hammer?
Hammer's great, ring is good, belt is good, other pieces can be catalyzed if you're missing myth tier, etc
neck as well
How far behind is thane in comparison to col arms in keys?
Hey guys, do you know what the range of cleave is? I don't have a very good idea of how far and how wide it reaches, tried googling it but couldnt find any relevant info.
Like, range wise does it reach as far as bladestorm does
the range is a bit further than your auto attack range and its almost a 180 degree cone
honestly the best way to figure it out is to just experiment with it on dummies for a bit
kinda having a hard time hitting cleave on all trash mobs reliably especially on really frantic encounters like algethar first pull
well brother
thats us
u gotta have a great tank, thats how ppl do greater dmg than u rly
if u go watch biz - crit and those guys their mobs are so freaking stacked that they dont even have to move ๐
I see, i was wondering why i cant do anything close to what they are doing, even though i felt that my rotation was fine
for aa first pull u just want to stack on your tank as best you can
yeah i kinda understand in theory but really hard to predict which way they leave the green circles ๐
if your tank is marked its way easier to follow them
The aa 1st pull is annoying, tanks these days are so lazy i swear
the circles have like 3 seconds until they explode so you dont have to run out immediately
thanks, will try that
also
its 100% a tanking issue not a u issue hitting all
just make sure u kill the big lasher u are marked to kill
and that pull mattters 0
Maisara caverns low key a slayer dungeon just for the shield boss tbh
AS in pugs
i have myth gaze, heart, and hero plume, my hero plume+heart beats out my gaze+heart
anyone else?
link sim
sec let me run one
sim for m+ boss pure ST only b shout https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/nwPHvwTw3MhghtMgLzMMpq
assuming 10 mob pull no mechanics in m+ only b shout https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/nL3fc1FkNvHiPkocLzMysr
i should have mentioned it was for colo arms
Hey, is there any addon that can track weapon swing for Arms?
;unfortunately no
its funny bc Ret can lol
I tried to make a m33kaura for this
They made the value of attack speed hidden LMAO
So you cant even make a addon for it
dw they will add it to the game in 10 years ๐
yeah, ret can only see it because of a spell that turns into their autos. We could get the same, but no ๐
I swear if one more Tank just dies on last boss MT in my 21s i quit
yo guys does this mean i can ignore boss mechanics n shit for 10 seconds if i do a max stack demolish
Knockback stuff yeah since it roots you, but Demo alone isn't enough to live through big hits
up to 10%
no worries, makes sense. Blizzard isn't known for clean descriptions ๐
you also take less damage during demolish
it wont save you from a nuclear bomb though
yeah that's what they're asking about
yeah no i legit read that as 100% dmg reduction
which now that i think about it
would make literally 0 sense
also is it normal to feel like a wet noodle during boss fights as colossus
changed a couple things around and now they're pretty much equal, same results in multitarget
this is without raid buffs btw, in a realistic scenario with a couple of raid buffs gaze will be better because it scales better
that's not terribly surprising, training dummies are gonna make you do much less damage
them dummies op
Slayer in M+ never uses cleave on 1-2 targets, right?
no build uses Cleave on 1 target
however, both use it on 2 target IF you also have 3 stacks of collateral damage (it's higher priority than Overpower, but less than HS/MS/Exe)
for colossus you also want ravager goin, but slayer it's just 2 target + 3x collat
kk
as colo?
:o
Probably stupid Q, but roughly, how is the dps increase from an aug vs skyfury? I cant find sim options for aug
do u have gaze?
280 ilvl feather champion track and box hero track
Had a discussion last night after a key, no shaman and i did 180~ overall in pit
oh wtf
I argued shaman would give 8-15% more overall
He argues aug (that knows how to play) gives more
skyfruy is huge
blue man buff on top
no sham no key type syt
wtf
first of 2% mastery = 2% dmg r?
2nd we lack rage big Fin time
so 20% more rage is giga
And i dont understand or know much about aug
just dont have em in grp
Gives crit and str and more leaps 
I just wonder roughly how much it is vs blueman
It also feels aug has to know what hes doing
shouldnt it be MUCH ebtter than a simpel raid buff
Aug is the bard of wow
If the aug boosts three ppl more in total (plus his own low dmg), than another dps
No was thinking like lineage or w/e had barsa
Bards
ohh
well yea anyways i get what u mean
but yea i never realized windfury was that big
fuck playing without a shaman wtf
same
worst part isnt even the dmg
its the FEELwhen u dont have it
and are starved 24/7
Im not that starved as colos it feels
i was giga starved on single target dummy
However, either i am big pepega or i spam hard, sometimes run out of sweeping strikes
