roxi how many games you in so far on warr this season

#

#

Hear me out...

wary heart
#

k, let'em cook

wheat jay
#

You're fucking crazy

#

Now here's a real question

wary heart
#

1k rounds

wheat jay
#

Did you spend more time in arena or in queue?

stark reef
#

Have it on full blast, when queue pops it's time to play some wow

wary heart
#

we need an intervention for roxi

stark reef
#

Listen, I don't have any alts, I don't do anything else in the game, I don't play any other games and I don't leave the house

teal hedge
#

You should play disco elysium

stark reef
#

My job is to be available at the phone/PC around the clock 7 days a week

#

So we do some shuffling on the side

wheat jay
#

Do you train?

stark reef
#

Yes, 5 days a week

wheat jay
#

Good

#

True warrior

#

You're like better Mud

#

Cuz Mud is a twig

stark reef
#

10hrs work w/ shuffle, gym, then just shuffle (this is the part where I lose 200 rating)

undone pumice
#

I used to go 6 days a week but now im to 3 days a week

stark reef
#

I do legs, upper body, rest, repepat

undone pumice
#

Why cant i just train everyday without stretching eating right or sleeping anymore man

wheat jay
#

Meanwhile im too autistic to go gym so i train at home

#

Sometimes i go to swimming pools

stark reef
#

I wish - one day

#

A nice home-gym, big glass windows, maybe some outdoor parts to it with a sandbag, no neighbors

teal hedge
#

But yeah, I passed physics and now I'm done with everything

undone pumice
#

I usee to get mega overstimulated at the gym until i got noise cancelling headphones

Finished school, grades took a big hit, but I'm doing ok

Depends on what im hitting

Chest = white noise but spicy

wheat jay
#

Even for pc

undone pumice
#

Curry flavored white noise

wheat jay
#

I need open back headphones

undone pumice
#

Ye but if ur tism is holding u back from gym i imagine its cuz of overstimulation from noise or stuff?

wheat jay
#

No

undone pumice
#

Unless u meant it as a meme

I just dislike people

Ah

Yeah, I also rock noise-cancelling in the gym

Can hunter turtle in stun?

urban skiff
#

no (75% certain at least)

#

but i suspect many run a trinket -> turtle macro to go as low as possible and still be safe

#

turtle also doens't block bleeds so i keep landing kills through turtle

wary heart
#

does sks go through turtle if you cast it while they're domed?

urban skiff
#

Does sks expire bleeds if it misses?

wary heart
#

i guess that's what im asking

wheat jay

Only sac

Or alt+f4

3s LFG is just EMPTY right now in EU

river trench
#

is the annihilator build that much stronger then the onslaught build for fury?

urban skiff
#

nobody knows

#

everything works

#

depends on your team

river trench
#

is the anni build literally just spamming bloodthirst or am i missing something?

wary heart
#

ramp bt bt ramp bt bt

river trench
#

ah. think id take the dps knock to avoid the 2 button rotation lol

brazen flax
#

But with 4p that doesn’t work right? Cause you’re just eating your bonus b4 it can marinate

wary heart
#

no idea, i dont have 4p yet

#

not many do

#

works for now

#

even with onslaught you're going to want to hit bt without 10 stacks

#

unless you take RB

urban skiff
#

except for rare low-hp burst

#

but fury don't win on burst, it wins on being oppressive as fuck and slaughterhouse unhealable

#

whichever spec pumps out more rampages will benefit more from set

wary heart
#

you can maybe theorycraft a non-annihilator build and run improved RB and bank fat bts but i havent thought too deeply on it

#

its probably best to bt on cd since every spec now hows a rot afk dps ability

brazen flax
#

Ahh ok I had no idea! Been using Odins + raging blow with some level of success but then again being successful as a low tier scrub is equivalent to a skinny guy with abs….

urban skiff
#

don't feel bad

#

we're all scrubs this season

river trench
#

just gotta remind myself burst isnt their bread and butter, which is what i have been use to with the classes ive been playing

#

Not used

#

Just died

#

I have def killed hunters in turtle with Odyns Fury though

#

Prob just animation bug

#

Something about the way Odyns calculates damage is off

wheat jay
#

nope

#

its not immune

#

its deflect

#

so if you have sweeping or whirlwind buff on fuiry

#

and you hit somethng else close to turtled hutner

#

he still takes dmg

#

reduced by 30% cuz turtle

#

but still

teal hedge
#

Gonna ride car for 8 hours tomorrow

#

May god have mercy

stark reef
#

So I can troar and odyns a hunter in turtle?

#

Nice

wheat jay
#

no

#

you can whirlwind and hit his pet

#

and the cleave will hit the hunter

dark sparrow
#

Yep or just kill him when the animation of turtle is going off, been killed by execute like that way to many times on my Hunter in SL keks

wheat jay
#

tranquility immunity for druid works the same way

wheat jay
#

that's actually not true

#

its just that the cast of exe precedes turtle by a milisecond

dark sparrow
#

How sure are you? I remember vividly one time I heared the turtle animation go off and still died to the execute charge thing from SL

#

Might have been spell q fuckery tho

wheat jay
#

ye it was me complaining

#

for very long

fickle forge
#

It's cause you don't deflect already cast abilities

wheat jay
#

until we tested it with different abilities

#

on diff classes

fickle forge
#

That's just how WoW works

#

You can't wall any post-cast abilities/spells

dark sparrow
#

Yea and because you had the execute charge thing in SL, execute was prob casted before I turtled hence killing me mid animation

#

Hey guys.I have a noob question. Is the Scalewarden set better or should i wear the honor gear ?

vapid tartan
#

So is rend and deep wounds buffed by 4% to start then an additional 5%? Or does the dot not count as an ability

vapid tartan
#

Scalewarden starts off at 427 which is lower than honor but if you upgrade it you get 447

haughty ice
#

@vapid tartan Okay thank you Honor gear is just 3 ilvl better but i dont get the setbonus

#

437 vs 434

vapid tartan
#

The set bonus is inactive in arena

#

From scalewarden

haughty ice
#

ohhh thank you brother

yup basically upgraded scalewarden > honor > regular scalewarden

Just did a solo with 2 mages, 1 arcane 1 fire. I felt like a healer. No agency. Over half the entire set of matches in root, sheep, frozen, slowed beyond range of charge.

# wheat jay That's what casters feel when its melee meta

WoW casters do not know the TERROR of a league of legends ADC main.

The night-sweats.

Farming 30min versing Thresh/Draven with another player literally attached to your back (fuck Yuumi mains, may a meteor strike them), dodging skill-shots for 30min straight just to get oneshot anyways by the tank Malphite and lose the game.

#

Even Mage mains in league get the belt if they mess up.

#

Actually, I guess the pre 10.7 ret meta was quite shit for most caters

then swap back to raging blow

go 5-1 insta

Got it, so just full send

boreal stone
#

yessir

stark reef
#

There are things I can do with anni I can't do with RB so I think I just have to re-learn my limits.

Anni I can 2v1 for ages if enemies have no CD's.

RB I have to swap if people kite away instead of chase to stay with healer. But people really can't tank RB damage

boreal stone
#

I was on my alt war thats only 2.1. kept going 2-4 with double warlock and 1800 healers

#

was not a good time

#

yeah, annihi is good if u want to stay alive and ur other teamate can land a kill

#

but everyone is pretty much a bot, so its up to you to get the kill tbh

#

like I had a couple rounds where I was getting set up on by a sub rogue with a destro on my team and i still outdmged the lock

tawny brook
#

Is RB higher priority than execute?

mild ember
#

Anyone know if when I'm in execute phase on someone, should I spam it or press it 2x and use a MS or just spam execute?

#

Because of the execute buff to MS.

round holly
#

is there any point to upgrading honor gear?

#

A friend is saying it doesnt change the stats in pvp only in pve which doesnt sound right

river walrus
#

It's right

#

The honor gear already scales to max ilvl in pvp

#

So upgrading it only scales for pve

round holly
#

so like stats and stuff dont improve

river walrus
#

Only pve

round holly
#

wow thats wild

#

so once your honor geared theres really no point to having honor

river walrus
#

That's what everyone asked for I guess. People complained a lot about shadowlands system where you had to spend an absurd amount of honor to upgrade gear

#

I guess not. Only if you wanna use your pvp gear in pve

#

If you wanna do mythics

round holly
#

odd but okay lmfao

river walrus
#

Or you can use the extra honor to buy marks of honor for pvp tmogs from other expansions

vapid tartan
#

Press 2x and ms

river walrus
#

I wish they would get rid of honor cap and that we could send honor to alts

vapid tartan
#

2k honor for 5 marks iirc

river walrus
#

Yeah

vapid tartan
#

it’s kinda a shit trade but I mean

river walrus
#

I do that a lot to get weapons and sets from other expansions I didn't play

vapid tartan
#

What else we gonna spend it on

#

Sell gear for gold? Lmao

#

would be cool if they let us convert honor to conq

#

Like 15k honor for 150 conq

#

idk

river walrus
#

It would actually

vapid tartan
#

oh wait there’s a vendor that lets you buy gliders and shit with marks rigjt

Anything else?

No, it's just marks, strongboxes or dump it into shields to vendor for gold.

#

OF/TR or Onslaught/Tenderize?

grand scaffold
#

im hearing tenderize

urban skiff
#

Some of us enjoy playing annie with onslaught. Others swear onslaught only pairs with RB builds

#

onslaught is more rampages and more passive damage reduction and more recklessness

#

OF is bigger burst and more avatar

muted surge
#

But fury was definitely better

uneven turret
urban skiff
muted surge

Considering arms got buffs they were not equal

If players throw a tantrum every time fury is better than arms then you best believe they keep arms ahead of fury instead of keeping them equal

#

Thoughts on the nerfs to demo lock, destro lock, enh sham, sub rogue, mw monk and disc?

Will it be enough to make fury SSS tier?

boreal stone
#

Fury wasn’t really struggling into any of the nerfed specs. They were annoying to fight, but it was manageable. I don’t think it really has an effect on fury as much as it’ll have an effect on all the other melee. Hopefully more melees will start being good again in shuffle. Fury doesn’t do that great into most plate melee (warrior and pala take like no damage), but it does good into ww, rogue, hunter for the most part, etc.

#

If arms becomes meta again, fury won’t be that good I don’t think, it’ll be more like last season, but both specs will still be very viable

dreamy moat

boreal stone
#

not really. arms shits on fury, so any arms lobby is just a 2-4/0-6 if they have a brain

urban skiff
#

I don't at all feel like arms shits on fury

#

Maybe i'm too low

#

but in 2s i run circles around them easy

boreal stone
#

yeah, I dont think 1600 cr 2s is a good way toi measure how arms does into fury. Arms can do their full damage to fury, whereas fury cannot. they both have the same amount of cc, but arms has ways to outplay it. on paper, arms beats fury every time

urban skiff
#

why can fury not do full damage?

boreal stone
#

parry

#

parry lines up with every avatar

#

fury wont be able to trade nearly as well as arms

#

u can def cheese an arms war tho if u disarm them during your damage

#

but thats risky asf, since u need disarm to live

urban skiff
#

I don't fully agree with this. Parry don't work while stunned and fury takes a passive 10% less damage just from enrage, couple with dstance fury is a really unattractive target for arms.

boreal stone
#

I mean youre jsut wrong, idk what to tell you

urban skiff
#

You join arena as arms, see a fury and think "that's always the best target"?

boreal stone
#

thats not what I said

#

I said if arms becomes meta, fury will do significantly worse than arms in a shuffle lobby

#

it doesnt make fury a killtarget, arms is just the better spec to play with, since fury cant do as much to an arms warrior as an arms warrior can do to a fury war

urban skiff
#

sounds like you're looking at this as arms fighting fury, where I'm thinking about which spec will do better in general in ss vs a variety of targets

boreal stone
#

for example, you have a double disc, destro lock, demo lock, fury, arms war

#

the arms does better with both the demo and the destro than the fury will with either one

urban skiff
#

I think 100% uptime on slaughterhouse alone is enough to make fury a really attractive partner in solo for most specs that can put out a lot of pressure.

boreal stone
#

you wont have 100% uptime with an arms warrior in ur lobby

urban skiff
#

again, who's talking about arms fighting a fury in a lobby?

#

I'm talking about which spec is more successful in soloshuffle in general

boreal stone
#

again, if arms becomes meta

#

youll be fighitng arms again

#

hence why arms will be in ur shuffle

urban skiff
#

But the arms won't be fighting ME.

#

It'll be always focusing another target because the fury looks like a really unappealing target

boreal stone
#

i mean

#

it depends

#

if its a full melee lobby

#

fury takes the dick

#

every time

urban skiff
#

Sure

#

ain't going to see melee lobbies anytime soon though

boreal stone
#

2 caster lobby with 2 warriors, the fury is gonna die easier than the arms will most of the time jsut because their defensives are a longer cd

#

and arms survivability isnt really tied to uptime like fury

#

so if the fury gets kited and has to go the arms war, the fury just dies

urban skiff
#

toe to toe is only a losing fight during cooldowns

#

the rest of the time slaughterhouse is going to mean the arms just has worse mitigation via needing more heals

#

fury takes 10% less damage and needs less healing, has higher pressure outside cds

boreal stone
#

youre entitled to your opinion 🙂

urban skiff
#

Is it not factual that fury takes 10% less damage via enrage uptime?
Is it not factual that slaughter house is a stronger ms effect than ms?
Is it not factual that fury self heal is stronger than ignore pain at less opportunity cost?
Is it not factual that fury has stronger sustained damage than arms outside cooldowns?

I'm not sure what you think is making arms the stronger spec in the other 105 seconds between the 15 second busts

#

but you haven't said anything besides "lol no"

boreal stone
#

youre basing your opinion on fighting 1600-1700 warriors. I am basing mine on fighting much higher rated arms warriors. I am telling you arms beats fury in every scenario. Fury does not do nearly as much damage to plate classes as arms does. this is a fact. accept it and move on

#

taht is if arms becomes meta and then meta shifts to a melee meta again like last season

urban skiff
#

If you can't explain why, I cannot take your claims seriously.

boreal stone
#

I ahve explained why

urban skiff
#

Why is arms dealing more damage to plate than fury?

#

they have the same % bleed damage

boreal stone
#

you just have a brick for a brain and cant comprehend

#

I have jsut told you multiple times why

urban skiff
#

You literally have not

#

saying "THIS IS FACTUAL" is not explaining. It's braying an opinion

boreal stone
#

if u need details: Sks ignores armor. Arms has much better cleave pressure. Arms gets more pressure during their go, even with sharpen nerfs. Arms is much more threatening to melees than fury is simply by class design. Sweeping strikes mortal strike/sharpen alone is worth 10x more than one person with a 36% MS

#

Fury doesnt cleave, arms does

#

thats what it comes down to

#

the only argument you could make is that fury would kill a caster before the arms war

urban skiff
#

Your example for arms domination was a 2 caster 2 melee lobby. How much is sweeping strikes worth there again?

boreal stone
#

it was destro demo in my example I believe. If they both train the casters in the lobby, its more in favor of fury. However, if the arms plays to peel their caster, the fury loses

#

if the fury plays to save their caster by going arms, they lose even faster

#

if the warlocks are any good, fury is just gonna get kited during their go too, so the likelyhood of getting a full mortal strike up during ur go is much smaller than if the arms just presses sharpen and does their burst

torpid roost
#

Why would arms specifically deal more damage against plate than fury?

boreal stone
#

its not that arms does more to plate, its that fury does less

torpid roost
#

That's saying the same thing, but, explain that statement then

boreal stone
#

its not saying the same thing. There is a difference between saying arms does more damage to plate and saying fury does less to plate. One implies that arms does more damage to plate than other armor types

urban skiff
#

I think you're looking at it wrong

torpid roost
#

13 > 11. 13 is more than 11, this is an accurate statement. 11 is less than 13, this is also an accurate statement.

#

Why would fury deal less than arms to plate specifically

boreal stone
#

theres a difference between accurate and precise

#

Fury doesnt have any armor ignoring mechanics

#

that alone makes a significant impact

urban skiff
#

The goal is to reduce a target to 0 hp.
Migitation (and selfhealing) is undoing damage your enemy does
reduces the value of the damage the enemy can do.

healing reduction is increasing the value of the damage you do.
Even if fury does less damage the slaughterhouse will make it matter as much. AND increases the value of the damage their partner does.

#

I'm still going to claim fury does more sustained damage than arms.

boreal stone
#

that is entirely dependant on what youre fighting

torpid roost
#

I was under the impression than odyn's was still non physical, could run CSHB, bleed, thundering roar

#

Most of which is also available to arms but armor doesn't make a huge amount of difference here

boreal stone
#

those only account for a few percent of your overall damage. if you look at a 5+ minute game of a full plate lobby, the fury will be on the bottom by far

urban skiff
boreal stone
#

They do if thats how long it takes to kill someone

#

lol

urban skiff
#

sub rogues are generally completely at the bottom every lobby. Does that mean their damage is bad?

primal cosmos
#

Fury has to run a balance of haste and mastery in order to maintain sustained damage and self healing no?

boreal stone
#

you cant compare sub rogue to fury

#

sub has much more dingle target burst ina 5 second window than fury

primal cosmos
#

Or pick mastery more for more damage or more haste for more self healing.

#

?

boreal stone
#

no, jsut play full mastery and youre fine

urban skiff
boreal stone
#

haste doesnt change anything significantly

#

are u aware of healers going oom?

urban skiff
boreal stone
#

damage is very important in a longer match

urban skiff
#

but that doesn't show on damage meters

boreal stone
#

it doesnt when u do 20% less damage than everyone else in the lobby

primal cosmos
#

Ok but slaughterhouse doesn’t compare to MS with sharpen and mortal wounds from bstorm if you take pvp talent

urban skiff
#

If you could have a ms effect that was 100% and lasted 1 minute but you only did 100 dps. Would you take it or not?

urban skiff
primal cosmos
#

I can press mortal strike a hell of a lot of times in one round

boreal stone
#

Mortal strike doesnt take time to ramp up

urban skiff
#

what

primal cosmos
#

Sharpen then intensifies

boreal stone
#

mortal strike cant be intervened off to throw off stacks

#

mortal strike gets pressedf once and it has full value

urban skiff
urban skiff
#

it drops one charge at a time

boreal stone
#

the entire MS falls after 20 seconds

urban skiff
boreal stone
#

if u get stormbolted, tahts -3 seconds, then about 2 seconds per rampage, another 6 seconds. then u get disarmed during ur go because u dont have bladestorm for it, another -5 seconds

#

you see where this is going?

#

Im rank 3 fury NA

#

you are 1600 with a 40% win loss

#

im not tryna be an ass

#

but you ahve no idea what youre talking about

urban skiff
#

If you're rank3 then I think you need to learn how slaughterhouse stacks work and maybe you'll be rank1

boreal stone
#

LOL

urban skiff
#

each slaughterhouse is a separate duration. It takes 20 seconds PER APPLICATION for it to fall off. Unless you have a secret method to applying 3 rampages in 1 global you're full of shit

#

rampage bt bt rampage bt bt rampage -> 3 slaughterhouse stacks with I guess 3 seconds between each stack so 26 seconds for the full stack to fall off.

#

that's assuming you don't refresh the first stack with a new rampage before

#

I'm old and I'm casual. I don't deny I'm a shit player but your rank alone does not mean you know better how a mechanic works

boreal stone
#

youre jsut wrong

#

all the stacks fall

#

made sure to stack it extra slow too, just to show that they dont drop of by themselves

urban skiff
#

And what happens when you apply the 4th rampage?

boreal stone
#

each rampage stacks 4

#

not 3

urban skiff
#

Yes yes

boreal stone
#

you press rampage 3 times and its full value

urban skiff
#

WHat happens when you do 4 rampages, does the duration go backwards?

primal cosmos
#

I mean the whole thing started with arms being better than fury if arms becomes Meta again. Either way typically in a solo shuffle, arms and fury aren’t the kill target

boreal stone
#

fury is worse in an arms meta

#

thats where this entire argument started

boreal stone
urban skiff
#

wait what

boreal stone
#

its not like shadowlands where it perma refreshed

urban skiff
#

I take it all back, I'm a complete dumbass

boreal stone
#

it stacks to a max of 12, expires, then you ahve to reapply it form scratch

urban skiff
#

it was supposed to be rolling stacks refreshing the oldest ones

boreal stone
#

yeah, they removed that

#

no longer a thing

primal cosmos
#

Does fury have a pvp talent similar to rebound?

boreal stone
#

it jsut has rebound

#

lol

urban skiff
boreal stone
primal cosmos
#

Oh okay, I don’t play fury chill

boreal stone
#

all good 🙂

urban skiff
boreal stone
#

yeah, but it was BROKEN before

#

40% MS, infinite uptime with crushing blow charge, and only took 2 rampages to max stack

#

that was so awful for the game

urban skiff
#

I know it used to perfectly refresh

#

I remember telling my friend how amazing it was when it first came out and he kept telling me it was a nothingburger and nobody would play fury.

#

cue apparent ridiculous nerf

boreal stone
#

I miss necro banner

#

and crushing blow charge

#

and old slaughterhouse

#

I miss bladesrtorm too

urban skiff
#

cb charge would make me play cb onslaught fury in a heartbeat

boreal stone
#

Ive only been playing curshing blow

#

burst feels higher, dmg overall feels higher too

#

plus I have 4 set, so it works better

urban skiff
#

1½ week to 4set

#

or half a week

boreal stone
#

nice. would recoomend getting a weakaura or a TMW for it

urban skiff
#

sorry I was a dick before, I was sure I knew how slaughterhouse worked

boreal stone
#

I still need to get one lol

urban skiff
#

I might make a weakaura for it

boreal stone
#

its all good, im a bit of a toxic pos, so I can understand your annoyance

urban skiff
#

something that screams at me if it's high stacks, anything good is procced and the target is below 35% if i have vicious contempt

primal cosmos
#

Arms still better tho

urban skiff
boreal stone
#

In this meta? nope

#

In a melee meta, arms IS better

urban skiff
#

fury is in every way iconic warrior

torpid roost
#

Slaughterhouse should probably get a rework

urban skiff
#

No other class can dualwield 2handers. It's the most iconic thing about warrior and fury has it

primal cosmos
#

Oh fuck srry I forgot, most of y’all play only mainly play arena/shuff

boreal stone
#

slaughterhouse just need to be the same way it used to stack and have like a 30% MS effect

primal cosmos
#

I mainly rbg so I forget that

torpid roost
#

Maybe just have stacks tick off over time and have it actually refresh

boreal stone
#

RBGs are weird I think

urban skiff
boreal stone
#

I was top dmg every rbg as raging blow fury

#

70% Ms LOLOLOL

#

thats so toxic lmfao

urban skiff
urban skiff
boreal stone
#

we pllay fury for two big swords

primal cosmos
#

Rbg still around tho

boreal stone
#

to overcompensate for smol pp

torpid roost
#

That could actually lead to interesting gameplay, getting that many stacks ramped in such a short time window

urban skiff
#

arms is for sweaty people trying to be good. Fury is for angry naturals who just want to annoy people until either we win or they win but are super angry with us so technically it's still a win

torpid roost
#

I maintain my belief that execute should do a healing absorb

boreal stone
#

Execture should actually execute

#

not do 30k dmg

primal cosmos
#

Like touch of death

urban skiff
#

let us spell reflect touch of death

boreal stone
#

we live in a world where Onsalguht does more damage than mortal strike

urban skiff
#

ultimate play

torpid roost
#

Execute being a crushing amount of damage would be bullshit, but, it should be "lethal" - hence my healing absorb

boreal stone
#

I mean look at when youre leveling

primal cosmos
#

Onslaught does more damage than mortal strike?

boreal stone
#

if u get an execute proc, mobs insta die

urban skiff
#

I think execute should be rolled into BTs when target is in execute range

primal cosmos
#

Again I don’t play fury

boreal stone
#

not saying it should be that way in pvp, but overpower or even mortal strike are often a better global than execute nowadays

urban skiff
#

instead of BT doing 50% more damage just have us do an execute right after the BT for style points.

boreal stone
#

thats backwards

torpid roost
#

At the Brink - executes applied when mortal wounds is up absorb (numbers) healing for up to 6 seconds

urban skiff
#

Give fury condemn back

#

I mean the damage reduction part

boreal stone
#

Arms should be the spec with big numbers, not fury

torpid roost
#

Condemn might be too good in the current meta, and it encouraged rushing the guy you thought might be able to hurt you

urban skiff
#

fury should have infinite stacks of meat cleaver imho

primal cosmos
#

My Mortal strike average is around that without 2 overpower buffs

boreal stone
#

yeah, have to keep in mind youre also pressing sweeping strikes a lot

#

I havnt played arms since first week to be fair

torpid roost
#

Also yes

urban skiff
#

i know all my ideas sound outrageous but that's because fury needs outrageous stuff. All about rage

primal cosmos
#

One of my most pressed buttons

boreal stone
#

but the crit nerfs really hurt arms, and nothing compensated for that damage lost

primal cosmos
#

Max uptime on sweeping strikes

torpid roost
#

Out... RAGE...eous stuff?

boreal stone
#

bleeds and sks are nice and all, but they dont make up for losing so much mortal strike damage

urban skiff
#

Goodbye crits

primal cosmos
#

I’m staking big mastery followed by crit. Keeping haste around 10% for arms

boreal stone
#

cant wait to fight hapl and think, why tf does everyone have pet sac on them?

torpid roost
#

Way to fix SKS - make maximal/pandemic timers on deep wounds crazy long, allow it to roll like ignite used to

boreal stone
#

crit is prob ur least desired stat atm for arms, haste just buffs all of your overall damage

#

they need to make SKS not make the bleeds expire, and instead cause bleeds to do a certain amount of dmg extra for a short duration imo

#

and buff MS/execute

#

the way sks worked was super toxic and not good for the game

torpid roost
#

That could work too, even though I've recently come to like SKS

boreal stone
#

also jsut bad design to make all ur bleeds fall off, have to reapply them, etc.

urban skiff
#

way to fix SKS is have it take just a few ticks off duration and reduce cd a lot

#

or have it make a new bleed instead of deal instant damage and now you reapply bleeds

primal cosmos
#

But if you look at 4 set for arms (which is trash) you would want your deep wounds to crit so crit actually is important. IMO

urban skiff
#

for more bleed

torpid roost
#

Or just add to duration and damage, or, yes, a rolled bleed for more static pressure

boreal stone
#

tier set is just dogshit for amrs

#

another reason why fury is just better rn tbh

primal cosmos
#

Yup but for a rbg player I think it’ll be fine

boreal stone
#

yeah, i dont think u have to min max for rbgs too much

primal cosmos
#

Cleave buffed mortal strikes

#

Playing for hero, ya kinda do

torpid roost
#

Minmaxing for rbgs is just different

urban skiff
#

Oh by the way guys, apparently some of the hotfix nerfs are already through, specifically moonkin nerfs

torpid roost
#

Still have to do it

urban skiff
#

Now's a really good time to farm moonkins

#

before the word spreads

boreal stone
#

good to know

torpid roost
#

Deserve it for how bullshit they've been for a minute

boreal stone
#

yeah, fuck boomies tbh

#

they take no damage anymore

urban skiff
urban skiff
#

they may be annoying but fury move so fast they waste time trying to run bombs into me

#

and intervening the bash clones never get old

boreal stone
#

u cant intervene casts

primal cosmos
#

It’ll be interesting to see the MW and disc nerfs. That changes the ball game fr

urban skiff
boreal stone
#

yeah, MW nerfs are good for the game. it makes all the caster cleave games a lot faster

boreal stone
#

wait till u intervene ur first rogue blind

urban skiff
#

or you miss the intervene in time but now you're still on top of the moonkin who was on top of the bash target

#

Or you figure "fuck it" and grab executioner and now you're just ridiculously oppressive against druids who still play with a script that says how to make me waste my charges

#

Pvp gets progressively worse as people get better at games. When people are bad it's so much more fun.
