shift was Walk

warped warren
#

he just doesnt have a pinky

lean burrow
sand shadow
#

but why would ctrl be uncomfy if also using shift?

warped warren
sand shadow
#

you just make sure that the binds there do not compete

#

as in, there are no scenarios where you need to press both ctrl AND shift

#

problem solved

lean burrow
#

ctrl is lower than shift though and that's uncomfortable

sand shadow
#

just like there was no scenario where I'd want to BOTH Walk & Crouch in cs 1.6

#

ok im done

lean burrow
#

e.g. ctrl for crouch in call of duty would be bad

sand shadow
#

man, you better work on that shit

#

cuz them bitchiz need fingering every now and then

#

stop slacking

lean burrow
sand shadow
#

Can you sprint whilst crouching in CoD or sth?

lean burrow
#

you'd often need to crouch from sprint in cod-like games

#

so shift to C is better

sand shadow
#

you're not making sense, idk if you realize that 😄

lean burrow
sand shadow
#

so you just release ctrl and press Shift to sprint

#

its not functionally different from releasing C to press Shift

#

unless I am missing something specific to CoD

lean burrow
#

not from crouch to sprint

#

from sprint to crouch

sand shadow
#

ok, so you release Shift and press Ctrl, same shit just in reverse

lean burrow
#

it's not specific to CoD, it's just fps games where crouching and sprinting has some interaction like sliding

sand shadow
#

idk what sliding is, I don't believe CS has ever had that

lean burrow
sand shadow
#

what

#

To move forward whilst sprinting, don't you need to hold W and Shift in your example?

lean burrow
#

CS is just an example of a game where ctrl is fine for crouch because shift has no effect on it

sand shadow
#

You'd just keep on pressing W, release shift and press ctrl in mine?

lean burrow
#

you hold shift+W to sprint, then you need to crouch -> it's easier to press C than stop pressing shift with pinky and press ctrl

sand shadow
#

am I being trolled or sth and im too boomer to undrastaend?

lean burrow
#

C for crouch is pretty standard in games

sand shadow
#

yeah, you should bind S for Sprint too

#

and F for Fire

lean burrow
#

F is usually interact or kick

sand shadow
#

Finteract

#

and Fkickf

lean burrow
#

Dying Light comes to mind with these controls

sand shadow
#

aight well, I guess it's hopeless then, mate

#

no keybinds

#

doomed

#

cant be done

lean burrow
#

this is a question of ergonomics

sand shadow
#

nah, not doing another round in your spiral of alternate universiness

#

😄

#

imo, ctrl is ergonomic enough as a modifier

wheat crane
#

mw a good 2s healer for us?

#

buddies debating between mw and hpal

warped warren
#

mw is pretty decent ye

#

but also has to play decent to not die to stuff )

#

while hpal has 4 lays, 15 immunities and freedom

steep inlet
#

Hpal succ

#

In 2s

#

Mega rng

#

Dispellable bop

#

Only heal when procs up

sand shadow
#

hpala is for sure the worst 2s healer for a warrior at high mmr

steep inlet
#

Yep

sand shadow
#

in fact, drainer is currently streaming hpala; has been hard stuck with a non-terrible DH at 2050-2100MMR for like 20 games now

#

and drainers hpal is top notch

#

if he logged his dudu, for example, it'd be completely different even though, imo, his rdudu is weaker than his hpal

raw summit
#

just get brain hpal

#

🧠

sand shadow
#

hpal is decent to good in 2s w/ an outlaw/WW imo

raw summit
#

although tbf idk how brain is in 2s

sand shadow
#

either somethng that can live on its own a lot, or something that truly benefits from even a momentary BoP

#

you BoP a fury warrior, and he still needs at least 5-6 GCDs to eviscerate something. You BoP a proper WW go, and the deed is done in a global or two max

simple rock
#

drainer 1v9 as usual

#

cannot do more

warped warren
#

feeding dh, cringe my eyes

fickle forge
#

Dumbass, that's exactly what I'm saying

wheat jay
#

fuck you

#

i didn't read whole convo

#

only saw your stupid statement

fickle forge
#

I know you didn't you hunter chimpanze

#

Was literally calling someone out for what you called me out for

wheat crane
#

qing with my buddys 56k hp mw

#

pray for me

craggy socket
#

ok not gonna lie spell reflecting a healers cc back to them for a win feels so amazing

obsidian loom
sand shadow
#

Solo Shuffle is the funniest thing added to WoW, swear to me mum

#

I just had a game, where a poor rsham kept spam heal surging himself

#

6 rounds in a row

#

whilst obviously meaning to heal his party member

spice hornet
#

Literal bot

wheat crane
#

Like obviously we were in the boondocks of like 14-1500s

#

But you realize how bad some people are even with like 110k hp lol

#

Obviously it was an instaloss to teams that could properly press buttons in coherent sequences

#

But all in all better then i thought

atomic gale
#

do you think vers/haste is more important stats or main stats

#

as in like should i put legendaries on accessory pieces or armor pieces

sharp meteor
#

leggos go on low budget pieces

#

fury would probably be like unity back with signet bracers

sand shadow
#

it is done

#

took around 27 rbg wins

near delta
sand shadow
#
  • like 10 solo shuffles and all weekly quests done
#

solo shuffle is pretty gewd for honor

near delta
#

If people don't leave after the first round every time

sand shadow
#

I usually get 1050-1250 per shuffle

#

well, even if they leave its usually 500+

#

but yeah, that sucks

#

some of them I don't blame though

#

there was an incredibly inexperienced affli that alt f4d after the 2nd round

#

I legit kill him in like 3-4 globals

#

the gear disparity is nuts

near delta
#

A lot of healers will just leave after the 2nd loss since they can get queues again so quickly

#

But yeah generally nice source of honor

#

I played one last night with 2 demos and an aff and I wanted to die lol

hexed ermine
sharp meteor
#

??

#

just buy conq pieces lmao

sharp meteor
spice hornet
sharp meteor
#

see, it would've been okay if conq stayed capped

#

because the idea was to have scaling be slightly lower than honor ilev

#

for that good ol progression thing

#

but yeah duelist players running over every match kind of zz

warped warren
#

bgbp

hexed ermine
hexed ermine
# warped warren medallion for sure

Any reason? Medallion will just give str but chest is only 259 ilvl (PvE item so doesn't scale up). I feel a pvp chest would give me a lot more stats

full quiver
#

Hey guys how do I gear my fresh 60 dk

sharp meteor
#

u buy alcohol then hammer out like 200 3s games in no gear

#

and insta die to every hunter/fury team

light flicker
warped warren
nimble jasper
#

are you playing with a healer

light flicker
#

no

#

ive been pugging 2's

nimble jasper
#

yeah umm

light flicker
#

is arms better?

nimble jasper
#

warrior 2s without a healer

#

very very bad

craggy socket
#

Play with a DH in 3s

#

You just delete things haha

hexed ermine
craggy socket
#

Finally hit 1500 in 3s, not bad for a new warrior lol

#

80 games winning 39 of them

light flicker
#

I guess i'll try 3's

craggy socket
#

3s is alot more fun imo

#

Find another melee and just smash people

nimble jasper
#

i mean if you're new 2s is just easier to learn in

#

less to focus on

obsidian loom
#

2s is much better to learn imo

hexed ermine
# light flicker I guess i'll try 3's

Pugging in general is rough around 1400-1500 unless you get a lucky matchup with a carry, but in 2s you want a healer or at least someone who can keep other team healer locked down

obsidian loom
#

You'll be able to pick out mistakes

elder wigeon
#

melee cleaves are significantly less fun as a warrior than playing with a wizard

craggy socket
#

Idk melee cleaves are fun for me lol

#

does intervene spell reflect only work with a specific legendary?

elder wigeon
#

there is no intervene spell reflect

craggy socket
#

Otherwise if it always works do I pop spell reflect than intervene or the other way around

elder wigeon
#

got removed in season 2

craggy socket
#

Ah

elder wigeon
#

misshapen mirror is the legendary you're thinking of

#

it's not that good

#

I can't think of a matchup I'd want to play it

nimble jasper
#

meleecleaves are a good way to fall asleep

elder wigeon
#

that is a legendary clip

wheat jay
#

Ret/warr is the most boring shit

#

So is tsg

#

Survi/arms is fun

elder wigeon
#

I didn't have fun playing KFC

#

only have fun anymore playing with an SP or a lock

warped warren
#

yep

#

i like playing with casters more

full quiver
#

lol because they're busted

elder wigeon
#

no melee cleaves are just super aids to play

#

especially with how much control and dmg wizards have right now

#

if both of you are getting cucked you're losing really quick

high sparrow
#

melee/caster comps are the most fun to play as / against

sage raptor
#

This season sucks

#

I'm going back to fallout nv

#

I don't understand why everything is juiced

elder wigeon
#

wdym

#

it's just more gear

#

and aff buff

sharp meteor
#

also hunters realizing that mm is playable

#

more rogues trying outlaw

#

tedious tedious

craggy socket
#

Double legendaries and tier sets really kinda makes shit too insane

near delta
wheat crane
#

Feel like id rather play rdru hunter then hpal hunter with double freedom

elder wigeon
#

mm hunter is just a hellacious nightmare

#

the knocks 70% slow, insane burst and mobility is too much

wheat crane
#

Its just questionable class design

#

Front loading 75% of dmg in 1 ability

#

Like aim shot or abom limb

elder wigeon
#

that's how most classes are

#

very few specs have a breakdown like arms

simple rock
sage raptor
elder wigeon
#

Yes

#

very easy

#

much easier than prior patches

simple rock
#

still 10x harder than it should be

elder wigeon
#

that doesn't mean it's super hard

simple rock
#

would consider it a significant time investment

#

especially if the character is fresh

high sparrow
#

its pretty easy

#

ure just trying to do it too fast

spice hornet
#

every sdingle NL dh i am encountering this season is getting demon procs on opener

simple rock
#

think some people just have different perspective on this

sage raptor
#

Dood it's so ez I just do it while jacking off and it's done

near delta
#

Wtf is ele damm lol

#

Played this 2s game killed the fire ele in the opener and sat him the entire game

#

And he's just murdering my healer the whole time

sage raptor
#

Holy fuck I'm stressed out

near delta
#

And yeah those procs are nutso

simple rock
#

did 12k dps in a 4min game on my ele today

#

all because enemy rsham didn't spam dispel

near delta
#

So you just have to eat control of lava?

simple rock
#

yea

#

it's not nearly as strong as ua

#

like 3x less dmg and no silence

near delta
#

Ah yeah thats not bad

hasty crane
#

Was WoD gearing good for PVP?

#

Because apparently they are going back to the WoD gearing system for dragonflight

spice hornet
#

yes

hasty crane
#

Did it have upgrade ranks like we have now?

elder wigeon
#

no

#

iirc there was just conquest gear and honor gear

indigo barn
#

Fury having a legit 1 shot build in wod

high sparrow
#

greatest thing that came out of wod besides gearing was execute

#

shit was an actual execute

sharp meteor
#

20% touch of death yep

#

also siegebreaker yeeting people was funni

wheat crane
#

Ele is lowkey wild, kinda wanna run thunder

#

Just shit out insta meatballs all day while getting tunneled

simple rock
#

def one of the better casters while getting trained

#

actually pretty tanky cuz of armor too

elder wigeon
#

ele gets stomped on by melee cleaves

simple rock
#

not as bad lock when melee can connect

#

locks have ~600 armor shamans ~3200

obsidian loom
#

Locks heal more than discs though

high sparrow
#

what the fuck is wrong with people this season

#

9 min game the warrior did 300k damage, both of them just running the entire game hoping my druid ooms

obsidian loom
#

How did the warr not die lmao

high sparrow
#

because hes playing leaper bounding stride impending victory

#

and running all game

obsidian loom
#

Lmfao

high sparrow
#

he is literally not trying to kill

obsidian loom
#

Leaper

#

What a chad

#

That's pretty disgusting

high sparrow
#

people are on EU are so cooked

#

ive played vs this warrior a couple times now

#

guy defensive spears

#

kites on his own cds

#

unironically wants to play 15 min games every game

nimble jasper
#

i had a 10min 30 game today

#

was an rdru mirror

#

nerf rdruids

#

ty

high sparrow
#

i havent had any particularly long games except vs people trying to dampen on purpose, usually rogues and ele shamans

simple rock
#

that is pretty chad for a warr in 2s ngl

#

doing something other than zug zug

#

honestly just outplayed if you can't kill a warr playing w lock

high sparrow
#

i mean we did kill

#

they lost

#

just takes fucking ages when freaks are playing degenerate builds and using everything just to live

#

they never had any kill pressure, guy used banner to kite twice

obsidian loom
#

I need an rdruid to handle rdruids

#

I can't be bothered to swap I need to zug

#

EU sounds like a disaster

#

I'd unsub

nimble jasper
#

yeah idk i dislike playing with rdruids

#

games take too long

#

but they’re strong

obsidian loom
#

EU is playing drainer meta

#

Go damp every game and try to do unhealable damage with the most broken comp you can come up with

nimble jasper
#

surv rdruid is just

#

an awful experience

obsidian loom
#

🔪

nimble jasper
#

if they have any clue how to play the game

simple rock
#

drainer plays the game correctly

#

in 2s

nimble jasper
#

i swear human rele is just

#

optimal vs rdruids

#

cuz you sit cc

#

so long

simple rock
#

run away on cds and when you don't have cds

#

never let healer drink

nimble jasper
#

thats

simple rock
#

only mana bar matters

nimble jasper
#

the ww special

high sparrow
#

but ive never seen it this bad

nimble jasper
#

unless its rogue teams then sitting down los to drink without trinket can be sus

high sparrow
#

especially weird in the week they uncap conquest and people should be wanting fast games

nimble jasper
#

i’ve killed lock teams like that on mine

#

healer sit downs to trinket without trinket gets sapped

#

his lock dies cuz hes forced to sit a full sap blind

obsidian loom
#

I'm still scarred from the 3xMM that deleted my healer out of stealth last week

#

What if I see it again how do you even stop that

#

Randomly leap around

#

Maybe sit in spawn and spam WW in los of the door

nimble jasper
#

idk

#

i just go next

#

call it the shadowlands special

obsidian loom
nimble jasper
#

i cant take people serious

who cling to their cr for dear life

1900 mofos that leave after 1 loss

thick reef
#

any reason why I can't upgrade even with renown 80?

#

says 43 renown is required

near delta
#

Gotta accept it and go to the pvp vendor in oribos

thick reef
#

kk will do

#

thank you

hasty crane
#

People wanted uncapped conquest and now that we got it people are complaining about it??

#

I don't get this community sometimes lol

elder wigeon
#

spoils of war should've been 50% increase to conquest and 100% increase to honor

#

not 25% and 40% respectively

#

conquest being uncapped was a double edged sword

#

good for the game in such pvpers could get better gear than pvpers at the "same rate" but the downside is casuals get fucked over and people with a lot of alts

#

in reality they should've uncapped conquest doubled the conquest gains and made all conquest gear 311 in pvp, as simple as that

hasty crane
#

Yeah

#

The main complaint I saw was from the people who couldn't no life the game and had alts

elder wigeon
#

more or less the plans for dragonflight

hasty crane
#

Dragonflight gearing seems better

sharp meteor
#

somehow my casual gamer dad healer partner was full geared like 2 days ago

#

jacking up honor and/or conq gains would be fantastic though if only for alts

craggy socket
#

Just faced an affliction lock with 125k hp

#

at 1600

spice hornet
#

That spec has a lot of go

#

placid whale
#

can i upgrade honor gear into tset ?

cunning bolt
#

no. you only can upgrade conquest gear into T-set

#

Anyone playing Arms right now? Still crit>haste for kyrian?

sand shadow
#

I ran some thunder last 2 nights, went Kyrian and told ele to pick static if needed and it went fine, they mostly tried to smack me tbh

#

decent RMPs felt pretty damn miserable though

elder wigeon
#

if you're arms you def want a good amount of haste because enduring blow procs more off MS which haste reduces the CD of

cunning bolt
#

do i go all haste or a spezific number like 15% - 20%? (acttually im 30%crit, 13% haste, 30% versa)

elder wigeon
#

I'm at 18% crit 21% haste and 39% vers

cunning bolt
#

so haste for procs = king, got it. 🙂

elder wigeon
#

you want a lot of both

#

not hard to get 20% with both

#

some may like more crit than others but I like faster globals and more mortal strikes

#

haste past 20% feels unnecessary tbh

wheat crane
#

Im like all haste so i can jump back n forth between arms/fury

#

Its good for both

elfin surge
#

arms is back

fury is dead

3 of the top 5 wars are arms

confirmed arms is back

elder wigeon

I'll play with stats when gearing isn't aidsing me

#

high vers feels nice when you're getting blasted cause you're playing melee wizard but that could be cope and remaking legos with no vers could be better

Arms and fury: Gets 0 changes
People: "Arms is good now and fury is dead"

high sparrow
#

fury did get nerfed start of the patch didnt it

sage raptor
#

Jk ily

#

Platonically

near delta
high sparrow
#

20% damage on crushing blow and banner reduced by 33% isnt barely

#

is a very significant nerf to ur burst window

sand shadow
#

it isn't barely, but Fury kept being the go-to spec post-nerf

high sparrow
#

sure, not arguign that

#

im just saying fury did get significant nerfs

sand shadow
#

it's kind of curious, in the past, the rule has usually been that Arms starts off strong, whilst Fury gathers steam w/ more and more gear

#

what @fickle forge said is kind of like how I feel as well

#

ofc, it's not just about whether Arms/Fury gets changes, but what changes (and specifically, which specs; and even more specifically, did the specs that cuck us get nerfed?) happened to other classes/specs

near delta
wheat crane
#

Guess i should actually swap kyrian, im just annoyed the spear conduit isnt 278

sand shadow

wdym not 278?

wheat crane
#

Gotta pay 10k again for 1 fucking conduit

sand shadow
#

upgrade it?

#

oh

#

I did that last patch w/ the thingie from the ZM vendor

#

wasn't that expensive

high sparrow
#

arent u swimming in flux by now

sand shadow
#

still took me weeks to notice that it only upgrades the one for the cov you are when using

wheat crane
#

Nah i just started playing again like 2 weeks ago

sand shadow
#

so had to go buy it multiple times as multiple covs

wheat crane
#

Can actually just now make unity leggo tomorrow

sand shadow
#

❤️

wheat crane
#

Lol true

#

JUST SPAM Q

sand shadow
#

I have like 80k flux leftover even after recrafting leggos and tiersets

#

Qs give a fuckton now its true

#

jUsT plAy MoRe

wheat crane
#

Yea all things considered it was really fast to catch up to a playable level

#

Hardest part was the stupid enlightened rep

sand shadow
#

it took me 27 RBGs and a few solo shuffles + the quests to fully gear to 311. It's not A LOT, but it's still quite a bit, and the point is we want gear parity in pvp, the ilvl value itself is of little concern to pvp mains

#

and I had like 65% winratio in RBGs or some shit

#

now imagine having to do that many wins w/ 50%ish winrate and on multiple classes

#

for no good reason, really

#

I did my last solo shuffle for the last bit of honor to upgrade the pvp trinket. Here I am, at 116k hp, fighting inexperienced people in shuffle w/ 80k

wheat crane
#

My lock is the yolo stomper

If you had each conduitnbefore thr thing upgraded every conduit

Think im like 11-2 so far

Specs often have to be discovered by a big name in order for it to be recognized

#

Remember pre-necro DH era?

sand shadow
#

big true, this was recently the case w/ Outlaw; it was already insane in S2 imo

#

it also took us a while to recognize Necro Warrior iirc

#

We were all Kyrian goodybois

fickle forge
#

Yeah, Mud sort of built his early career on discovering necro warr

sand shadow
#

ohh riiight, that's how i know mud, from those daily highlight clips on YT

it finally clicked

Yeah

Fuck you Mud

I instinctively altf4 viewer streams, but I can imagine they're an effective way to fill dead windows and grow / give back

brittle wraith
#

On murlok.io last season 90% of fury wars in 2s and 3s were Necro

Now it looks split with Kyrian all of a sudden, can anyone explain why this changed?

sand shadow
#

I don't think a completely researched and fully thought out explanation can be given, not least because someone needs to sit and think about it

#

But for example, in 2s, where hunters and hpriests were overwhelmingly popular, got nerfed relative to spear

#

Hunter's Craven Stratagem is now just -5s CD on FD, and Hpriests can no longer fly it

#

Also, Fade was put on a 1min CD (up from 45s)

#

Which means that, with the owl, even if you hit just 1 target, you have spear every 56s, slightly lower than Fade

brittle wraith
#

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it! Do you feel a big hit to survivability running Kyrian instead of Necro?

sand shadow
#

just an example of the many possible variables

#

Depends, I mostly run the Owl w/ Shielding thingie, autopot AND autostun into stuff I feel like I might get gibbed

#

the autostun is honestly absolutely insane, even after they nerfed it

#

so while you don't have as much frontloaded survivability

#

when things are dire, Kyrian owl kicks in usually

#

even the pot is not bad, but only if used early on in 2s, since damp ruins it

#

in 3s, pot is actually pretty decent

brittle wraith
#

Hmm I’ll give it a try then I was surprised to see the change because necro scales with stam pretty well but that makes sense

#

Thanks for your help

sand shadow
#

with stam?

#

I am at work and kind of distracted but why stam? YOu mean str?

brittle wraith
#

Fleshcraft is % of stam, frictionless costing % of stam, ultimate form % of stam etc

#

And with stam stacking higher than secondary stats this season thought it would be the clear winner

warped warren
brittle wraith
#

But looks like more people going Kyrian

#

Than last season*

warped warren
#

shields dont matter in damp

sand shadow
#

well, the thing with that is that %ages are %ages, no? If all else is equal, it doesn't matter if it's 30% of 100k or 200k no?

spice hornet
#

Less hunters and horiests, more locks, eles, etc, = spear better

#

Plus banner got nerfed

sand shadow
#

That is if we simplify and assume that dmg/survivability/etc have scaled equally

spice hornet
#

And it was only really good for juicing your ret paladin buddy

elfin surge
spice hornet
#

I can’t swap to kyrian though I’m too addicted to the banner movement speed suppression

sand shadow
brittle wraith
#

I heard stam was stacking higher than secondary stats this season so % based hp heals and stuff were better

#

But makes sense with more locks etc

i hate streaming 3s i get too distracted

hm, as I said, I'm a bit distracted today, but stam is just a function of ilvl

#

so X ilvls increase = Y increase in stam and all other stats

#

that is, it's programmatic, and nothing has changed there

#

you just have more of it than before

#

you don't have new modifiers to your hp this ssn compared to last?

#

you just have more in absolute terms

#

if overall dmg hasn't kept pace, I'd agree, but has it not?

#

I have no answer to that

brittle wraith
#

I think it’s with DR returns on secondaries as well

#

So stam stacks linearly

#

Secondaries don’t

sand shadow
#

but we dealt w/ DRs even last ssn, I've never seen anyone w/ over 39% versa at least

#

so you just spread them out more efficiently, as to hopefully avoid even the 31%+ DR

brittle wraith
#

That’s just the impression I got from other discords could totally be incorrect

sand shadow
#

so instead of going like 45% versa, you instead stay, say, 35% on avg, and shift those stats elsewhere through leggos/enchants/gems/specific items etc

#

thats okay, we're just discussing

near delta
sand shadow
#

also, keep in mind that the DR on 31%+ is just 10%, it's really not THAT big

#

the autostun is fucking broken

#

I missed 3 kills last night because the enemy warr kept procing it

brittle wraith
#

Yeah I think it’s an overestimate of the DRs then

near delta
#

Also how about kleia lol

sand shadow
#

I mean, I can't be 100% sure those were kills ofc, but it sure didn't help

near delta
#

Been making ferals do like 5k sickle of the lion damage on average

sand shadow
#

@brittle wraith also, keep in mind that no matter what people choose to focus on (it's always secondary stats priorities usually)

#

main stat is absolute king

#

sure, secondaries are super important as well, no question

#

but strength is strength

#

Last time I did a sim, Str was many times the value of any secondary

#

and sure, PvP is not PvE, and even in PvE these sims have limitations, but it's not THAT different

#

if 1str is > 10 secondaries when whacking patchwerk

#

it's probably still much stronger even in PvP

How y'all dealing with these affliction locks in 3s

why every Fury is using Signet? 😄

because it's a horrendous legendary in terms of design

there's always Deathmaker

you don't HAVE to run Signet every single game

I'm still personally torn on arms legendary

high sparrow
#

ye i play deathmaker on one of my warriors but its very inconsistent

sand shadow
#

you can switch depending on enemy comp and what your strat is going in

high sparrow
#

fury legos definitely boring tho

sand shadow
high sparrow

arms has a few fun ones

sand shadow

unless your win condition revolves around trying to oneshot ppl

then mb Unhinged is not bad

battlelord enduring blow and unhinged are all fun

obviously EB is best

but those are 3 very fun legendaries, even exploiter was fun during condoom

sand shadow
#

its not that BLord is bad

high sparrow
#

meanwhile fury legos are straight up boring

coarse portal
#

Just eb is better

#

Lolololol

sand shadow
#

kinda, yea

#

keep in mind that enduring procs your tier set too

#

actually, I am not even sure, been ages since I last played arms

#

but it should?

#

someone here should be able to confirm/deny

coarse portal
#

The op str proc yes, not sure on the increase duration

sand shadow
#

duration doesn't get affected, of that I am pretty sure or I would've noticed watching streams I think

high sparrow
#

duration not affected, but i think it does get buffed to 35%

sand shadow
#

would make it 9s proc

#

that'd be insane

sand shadow
#

lets see

warped warren
#

legit can double proc and not get a single reset

sand shadow
#

yeah EB procs are 35%, so 2set works

warped warren
#

yes the 2p

#

but 4p feels like a no

#

idk

sand shadow
#

no it works

#

the 4set procs on EB procs

warped warren
#

surely

sand shadow

erm

warped warren

just dogshit rng then

sand shadow

warped warren

?

sand shadow
#

how am I getting stacks

#

I've had no procs

#

wtf

warped warren
#

are you trolling or

#

xd

#

4set makes cs increase the chance

#

of resetting

#

🤨

sand shadow
#

I am NOT getting CS though

#

I am not pressing WB

#

and I was not getting CS from MS via EB

warped warren
#

you still have tactician

#

?????

#

are you pretending?

sand shadow
#

no, I just haven't played ARms w/ 4set

warped warren
sand shadow
#

I thought that only procs during CS windows

warped warren
sand shadow
#

not that Tact procs passively give ya the bonus

warped warren
#

thats the whole thing about it

#

lmo

#

lmao

#

cs just amps the tactician proc rate

#
  • gives 2% str
sand shadow
#

the way its worded is a bit

#

I guess it could be understood both ways

#

idk

warped warren
#

no?

sand shadow
#

wdym no

#

my assumption was that, because of how its worded, the condition for the 2nd part of the effect is that Tactician procs during CS

fickle forge
#

This thing

sand shadow
#

They have new tech now, btw, dno if you guys have seen it

#

Port on top of Gate

#

so even if they're not next to their gate, where you'd think you can spear w/o counter, they can port and instantly use the toy to gate

#

It looks real funny too

#

but because the port into gate happens so fast (and the gate negates spear anyway), they can bug spear that way

#

Not really convinced it's worth it for them, but there it is

qd into laros yesterday and i one shot nogard doing it

my favorite was warbringering a turtled hunter

and critting 18k

killing him through

ye warbringer goes thru turtle and tranq

#

i think sweeping does too

sand shadow

Blade Flurry too

#

what I want to see more of is people challenging shouting the WW monk SEF pets

#

I swear its a great peel

#

not everytime, but its oGCD and I've had great results

especially since even 1s delay can be huge into that shit

#

don't go in expecting 100% success, they can redirect them on a whim, and many do spam them during their goes

#

but I've had one game where it actually made a difference

elfin surge
#

i use a shield for openers vs rmp

sand shadow
#

another great tip

full quiver
#

@elfin surge does that mean you can use it as knockback to stop pet revive in turtle lmao

jk shield swapping is bad

it does feel terrible, but there is some small beneift

some extra armor vs evis

full quiver

🤔🤔🤔

prob not worth playing into hunters tho cuz u lose damage

lose either mortal combo or OP conduit

For 2s tho

sand shadow

😡

Been playing pretty much only DK and consistently get glad with it, and some feral for when I want to use my brain..

Made a fury war and it’s SO much fun but there’s a lot of nuance in when to be using my shouts intervenes etc and all the little tricks like warbringer on hunter turtle y’all are mentioning etc.

Where can I find some good gameplay guides? Not really interested in talent guides but some actual gameplay breakdown

sand shadow
#

don't believe anything quite so nuanced exists

#

im certainly unaware at least

#

your rally, you really have 2 main ways of using it

brittle wraith
#

Something similar to like supatease’s breakdowns for Boomy gameplay if you get what I mean

sand shadow
#

#1 and most popular is when told by a healer or if off-voice/no call, when you feel your friend is about to die, simple

#

#2 is using it pre-emptively, in the sense that you're trading your shout in the hopes that it'll save your partner from using a major CD himself

#

if you believe that's a more favorable trade

#

#2 is why you might sometimes see someone w/ experience use it when the target is, like, 50% hp and not in immediate danger of dying

full quiver
#

Duel disarm

#

idk if laros runs duel into tsg tho

brittle wraith
#

This is all helpful, well if any of you make a breakdown ever of “I used rally here because I saw x, or I used fear here because I saw x” would be super helpful I can monkey my way to 1950 on fury right now but need to learn more of the actual intricacies to progress

#

So if a guide like that if ever made please lmk 🙂

sand shadow
#

The only streamer that I can think of that regularly commentates his gameplay is Trillebartom

#

sadgely, he rarely plays wurrior nowadays, since he mostly plays 2s, and woyer is depressing in 2s

brittle wraith
#

Ah fair enough well worth asking!

sand shadow
#

by commentating, I mean providing insight into the why of things

#

perhaps you can search his VoDs and track down a warrior sesh

small fog
#

Mud gives a lot of good advice too, always answers Twitch chat

sand shadow
#

from like, last ssn

small fog
#

But ye not sure about specific breakdown videos

sand shadow
#

it's a combination of sources if you want to learn the nitty-gritty really

#

discord, twitch chat (yes, really), streamers, videos, highlights etc

brittle wraith
#

Cool appreciate your help guys CatjamR

sand shadow
#

but if you already play another spec at a decent level, you should have the basics down, such as when specs do damage, and from there you can puzzle whether it's physical or not for example

#

and think of intervening, for example

full quiver
#

Helped me learn arms

#

I know he occasionally plays fury

sand shadow
#

it's helpful if you watch VoDs too, opposed to livestreams, esp w/ commentary

#

livestreams, things are happening too fast and you can't really pause and rewind

brittle wraith
#

Okay awesome I’ll take a look!

sand shadow
#

and if you notice something, you're anxious to continue watching for more instead of internalizing what you just saw etc

nimble jasper
#

yeah livestreams can be tough to follow sometimes

#

also the streamers who dont keep up old broadcasts

#

😦

brittle wraith
#

This is a chill discord btw appreciate y’all

nimble jasper
#

breakdowns are done by skillcapped

#

albeit paywall

sand shadow
#

oh yeah, SkillCapped is actually not bad these days, they give pretty decent advice usually

#

but it's mostly a bit more general than what you're looking for I guess

nimble jasper
#

matchup specific prob hard

#

if you dont get vod review

warped warren
near delta
sand shadow
#

oh I wouldn't know about that

#

isn't that paywalled?

#

I only see their free YT vids every now and then on twitter

wheat crane
#

I mean i prerally alot of shit should i not be doing that

sand shadow
#

🤷‍♂️ no right answer imo

wheat crane
#

Not using conduit

sand shadow
#

and there can be quite a bit of a difference from pre-rally to pre-rally

#

is it RMP and you know your last chance to live inc go is to pre-rally it? If it ends up saving you, it was obviously good

#

if they kite it out and delay and kill you 15s later after it falls off anyway, then mb the idea was good, but execution was imperfect

wheat crane
#

Like rmp

#

Gos telegraphed af, i usually send the rally and do whatever minor cc i have to scuff it

#

Feel like rallying when the homies at 80% vs 20% is good no?

#

Maybe not

simple rock
#

rallying super early into enemy CDs is bad cuz you don't want it falling as their dmg peaks

sand shadow
#

I don't think anyone can answer that quandary tbf, it depends on context

simple rock
#

usually you want healer to trade whatever small/medium cds then use rally to potentially save the biggest cds like link, bubble, ps, etc

#

but yeah it really depends

wheat crane
#

I guess im basically treating it like a barkskin to try n save a trinket or wall

#

Yea yrue

simple rock
#

vs RMP a good use of rally is when kidney or cs chain is ending you rally them and they can top

#

without using bubble or something

wheat crane
#

Yea i mean im always sending it on cds not just randomly

#

Like buddy will be kidneyed/bombed and a combust popped or something

sand shadow
#

I mean, you're probably overthinking it at this point, and that's usually a bad thing. #1 prio is to have always used rally if you lost instead of sitting on it. #2 prio is to use it NOT terribly. #3 is where it becomes a clusterfuck: using it well

wheat crane
#

Ill send it as combust is pressed basically

#

Or a little before

sand shadow
#

Trying to "save" stuff for the "perfect" opportunity is just not a great strat in arena imo

#

perfect opportunities are rare, you don't always realize they're there, often you're prevented by GCD/CC, and you end up losing like my hpala friend pepega, who refuses to bubble pretty much ever

#

hence the "saving for next expansion" meme

#

to get great rallies consistently, you need a pretty decent synergy with your friends

#

that means a rally that actually saved you another, more important CD, or did the job w/o requiring another or two other CDs for example. Sometimes even triple CDs can be a good trade

#

that requires synergy, a great feel of the flow of arena, communication etc

#

my xp w/ LFG people, even on voice, for example, is that I would call my rally but that call will just be ignored and another major CD will be popped when just one or the other would've sufficed

#

🤷‍♂️

wheat crane
#

yea it gets spooky with lfg

#

actually now that were talking about it rally talent might be decent into dks no?

#

line it up for every abom

sand shadow
#

Here's an example: you are VS'ing an RMP. It's already a few goes into the game. They Cross CC your friends, but your healer manages to get out (mechanics of how unimportant here), but is physically away from you. You get KS'd into a Bomb to cover the Cross-CC mistake. He's dancing on your ass. But nobody else is popping anything. You have wall, trinket, fear, etc. What do you trade? Usually, you'd want to get away w/ just a wall. But sometimes the rogue procs triple tier set and everything crits and perhaps you just die. Other times he doesn't, but the mage has a pyro ready and two fireblasts, whilst the priest is also HF/MGing you

#

You prolly need to trinket the second scenario, apart from walling. Or perhaps you can just trinket-leap out of the bomb? But maybe the rogue is good and insta covers the trinket w/ another CS into another? Or maybe the stress had you trinketing, thinking to leap, but hten you realize your leap is 5s more on CD. And now it's too late, you wall, but you're already 30% hp, perhaps you die like a dog. The Rogue Flag of Ownerships your ass and cackles.

nimble jasper
#

feel like just wall alone

#

is never enough to cover bomb goes

sand shadow
#

so a relatively common situation has already permutated like crazy and there are multiple possible outcomes/strategies you can employ, all dependant on a myriad other permutations

#

@nimble jasper idk, I lived that scenario last night w/ just trinket leap, pocketed the wall for next

nimble jasper
#

oh i mean solo wall

sand shadow
#

next time, this cheeky play mb gets punished

nimble jasper
#

prob not enough for bust bomb

sand shadow
#

bust bomb? For sure not enough yea, my example is just rogue dancing on your ass in bomb

#

w/ imperfect cross chain

nimble jasper
#

oh yeah

sand shadow
#

which puts you in an awkward situation where you have to think and decide very quickly

nimble jasper
#

some rmp setups are just

#

bad

sand shadow
#

sure, your healer is out of CC, but can he save you in time?

#

And if he does manage to get into the bomb in time, does he have instant healing? Etc

nimble jasper
#

i feel like thats also a thing

#

even if a lower rmp does a scuffed go

#

some teams may not recognize that its a bad go

#

and overcommit

simple rock
#

rally in lfg no comms is almost always wasted

#

unless you're playing with really aware high xp players

#

well, maybe not wasted

#

but you won't get nearly as much value from it

sand shadow
#

@simple rock yep, which nicely brings us full circle: Rallying when to rally is good, is good 🤷‍♂️

i mean

losing IP but gaining two heals

#

and with the game right now, having a heal when your healer is in CC is >> sustained damage reduction

wheat jay

Technically absorb is better than heal

Can't pre heal the damage

#

You pre-absorb the dmg

#

Depends on the situation I guess

Id still prefer one heal one absorb rather than two heals

losing ignore pain kinda lame
