#

some ppeople are running sks again prob because TR no SKS build dam is pathetic

lyric violet
#

never forget

spice hornet
#

lmao

#

cheap shot -1 sec duration pls

weak wedge
#

It helps for closing some kills

spice hornet
#

i dont know how much more sks is better though since the nerfs

#

like if its only 5% better overall, 5% on top of dogshit already isn't worth the SKS rotation headache

#

i swear having this instead of unhinged would make warrior instantly feel a lot better

scarlet flame
#

yeah that looks great

iron fractal
#

Does running out of reinforcments in Ashran not count as a win?

wheat jay
#

nerfs to broken specs would be better than buffs to arms

lyric violet
#

Nah i just wanna be op also

iron fractal
#

Horde ran out of reinforcments and we didnt get qonquest or count as a win for the weekly quest.

scarlet flame
#

i buff my teammate with 50% ms and some dots

#

maybe some cc reduction if banner gets value and intervene is a worse rescue

#

even fuckin aug evoker critting over 150k all the time with uphev and living flame lmao

#

what if ms hit 150k xan

thick reef
#

as warr, should I be doing focus target keybinds?

scarlet flame
#

yeah

thick reef
#

i guess i should right, just feel like im running out of keybinds 😄

#

what u bind them to @scarlet flame ?

scarlet flame
#

what i bind them to is only relevant to me

thick reef
#

true but i just have no idea

scarlet flame
#

cause what i use as binds might not be what you like

thick reef
#

yh ik

scarlet flame
#

well ideally its a bind you can hit thats not annoying

#

focus bolt is pretty important so something you aren't reaching to far for

thick reef
#

yh and most are taken up 😦

scarlet flame
#

can do shift modifer in a macro but i dont use those so i can't help you

thick reef
#

do u just do focus123 and then focuskick focusbolt etc?

scarlet flame
#

i use arena 123 for bolt and focus bolt

thick reef
#

yh fair, makes sense

scarlet flame
#

im dogshit and not at a stage in pvp where im doing focus kick yet

#

on arms anywa

thick reef
#

np thanks for the help anyway

rotund trellis
#

Is the weekly not awarding the token anymore?

#

for crafting

hot solstice
#

nice ray of frost ticks

#

meanwhile^

#

126k biggest mortal on frost mage

#

they lost btw

scarlet flame
#

look at the averages keks

#

30k higher average normal hit on ranged instant cast ability

wheat jay
#

almost all are crits tho O_O

digital rover
#

I haven't played fury seriously since MoP and i seem to be doing a lot better with it than Arms. Does being enraged still cause you to take more damage? I think I remember that being a thing way back when

elfin surge
digital rover
elfin surge
#

Both specs of warrior are struggling rn

digital rover
#

oh. thats fair i suppose

elfin surge
#

casters just destroy

digital rover
#

As a main dk i understand that fully

elfin surge
#

our best comps are with the fotm casters which other melee can play better

digital rover
#

but i just wanna finish my 1800 so i can go do pve with my warrior

elfin surge
#

Both specs are about equal tbh

#

so play whatever

#

arms is prob next in line for buffs

torpid bridge
#

what is gear priority for conquest pieces

mild thunder
#

Mage nerfs are okay tho

mild thunder
#

Bro exudes positive energy

vapid tartan
#

I thought he’s on d4 rn?

mild thunder
#

He’s started playing a bit of WoW again

#

But tbf I was also watching him play d4

vapid tartan
#

bro he’s playing dk rn

#

Laros on priest xd

#

rip warr streamers

#

😂😂😂

mild thunder
#

He was playing arms 3s the other day

#

But yea he always has his alts

vapid tartan
#

I’m just playing rbgs rn arms always feels nice there

digital rover
#

is this kinda close to waht people are running. i just copied the build code during the beginnings of 10.1

vapid tartan
#

Hope we get those buffs tonight

#

Tho idk what buffing slam would do

#

Have we pressed it all expac other than on annhi fury?

vapid tartan
mild thunder
#

It needs a 200% buff to be useable

#

And even then, it just doesn’t work with our kit

#

When do we press slam?

vapid tartan
#

Hm what do you think the changes we need are?

mild thunder
#

The only way slam could fit in our rotation rn is if storm of swords affected it

mild thunder
digital rover
#

are you talking about arms?

mild thunder
#

DF arms is so fucking ass, burn the whole spec

vapid tartan
#

I feel like either we need stronger bleeds or more burst

#

jus feels like I barely do more dam than in .07 lol

#

maybe buff our crit nodes? Idk

wheat jay
mild thunder
#

Unnerf everything they nerfed in season 1

mild thunder
wheat jay
#

But why not make it like in legion again?

mild thunder
#

Now is the worst iteration of the spec

wheat jay
#

Legion Arms was the best thing I ever played in wpw

#

Wow

vapid tartan
#

thoughts on 10.05 arms?

wheat jay
#

Survi was funniest in s2 shadowlands

#

Cuz it had its niche fullfilled

mild thunder
wheat jay
#

Dk fuck dk

#

Tempted to play dh

#

But dh doesnt use 2h weaponswhich is kinda wack

mild thunder
#

This is a short list of everything arms has lost since s1 SL, mostly utility

#

The spec needs the fun back

#

Just give us back overwatch, safeguard, banner

wheat jay
#

Okay okay listen

#

Overwatch was broken

#

Safeguard was dmg reduction from intervene?

#

That was nice

mild thunder
#

Overwatch wasn’t broken

Overwatch and misshapen together was broken

wheat jay
#

Aoe reflect was dumb

mild thunder
#

But we don’t have misshapen

wheat jay
#

1min rally was dumbo too

#

Banner I am partially responsible for, I apologize

#

Fuck banner

mild thunder
#

Overwatch is a pretty significant trade off to lose intervene to try and reflect one thing

#

It’s fun, but it’s not op

wheat jay
#

Fleshcraft was annoying as fuck for everyone, but for warr would be nice

#

Also, fleshcraft wasnt most value for warr

mild thunder
#

Almost most value for warr

wheat jay
#

It was most value for any healer that played necro

#

Warr wasnt even in the discussion lol

mild thunder
#

Yes?

wheat jay
#

Value for warr was one more thing that stopped cc

mild thunder
#

Being able to int > fc entire go’s was pretty strong

wheat jay
#

Or gave you small bonus dmg

#

It was strong

#

But healer getting cc immunity from it was more valuable

mild thunder
#

Who gives a fuck about healers

wheat jay
#

Warriors

#

U ded without them

#

While we're on that

#

Gib craven and flayed shot back

mild thunder
#

Losing craven is weird

#

But you got new defensive instead

wheat jay
#

Which is absolutelt fucking dogshit compared to shit I lost

#

Dmg reduction on feign should return

#

It was like 20% iirc

#

Or 10%

#

For few seconds after feign death was used

#

And flayed shot should be back

#

Survi is not burst class, it should be consistent dmg again

vapid tartan
#

Y’all think fatality worth for rbg maps like eots where we just spin mid whole game? See lots takin eb but doesn’t seem like much value to me

wheat jay
#

You dont rly stack up on one target in rbg

#

So probably not

rotund trellis
#

warrior is shit btw,or at least feels like casters are fucking pumped

#

wtf happened with the patch???

#

it feels horrible playing melee

#

btw last arena:

spice hornet
#

Warrior dam is bad

rotund trellis
#

rogue mage

#

it's fucking pathetic lol

spice hornet
#

Yep

rotund trellis
#

and i trinketed

#

I can't push past 1895

#

resto druids are also ridiculous. I don't understand. for blizz a class is either trash or obv broken

spice hornet
#

.

rotund trellis
#

can they fucking balance their game lol

spice hornet
#

Look at the clip

#

Should be pinned tbh ahahahah

wheat jay
#

And ye casters are strong now

rotund trellis
#

I really play once every 2 months at this point

#

it's pointless

rotund trellis
#

sorry hpal

#

we got to 1895 and hard stuck against rogues and locks/resto

wheat jay
#

2s or 3s?

#

If 2s then sadge, warr is bad in 2s

rotund trellis
#

2s

wheat jay
#

Locks you can kill if you play properly

#

Rogue if you fuck up anything you're gone

rotund trellis
#

locka I'm fine, it's druid perma kite, hpal bof, rogue/mages combo i struggle with

#

I mean, locks are CLOSE, but manageable

#

it's just that cyclone is fucking cancer right now

#

lol

rotund trellis
#

but honestly I'm very happy, for being my second season ever

sharp meteor
#

Yeah, that's some excellent progress.

spice hornet
#

Damn no arms tuning 😦

#

That is good progress for a bracket that’s dominated by rogues, ferals, and hunters

#

It gets very sweaty past 1800 especially

mild thunder
spice hornet
#

Surely the devs will add the arms fixes copium

mild thunder
#

watch ww get nerfed now that im playing it

amber heron
#

warrior is fucking dead bro

#

i feel so bad right now

mild thunder
#

opinion rejected

amber heron
#

not just because of holy paladin but

#

dk is just better then me

#

boomie is better then me

#

sub is better then me

#

really is not a warrior meta rn

#

time to reroll i guess...

#

ill be back in the next patch

mild thunder
#

@spice hornet

spice hornet
#

Average FOTM wow player activities

mild thunder
spice hornet
#

Imagine unironically having an Andrew tate pfp @mild thunder

#

Is that based

mild thunder
#

tate fell off

#

justpearlythings pfp incoming

spice hornet
#

I’m glad I don’t know who it is

rotund trellis
mild thunder
#

@spice hornet endorsement for stormforged

spice hornet
#

I would be eligible but the powers above will cherry pick a time where I called things retarded and use that against me

#

Can’t let any PvP only mains into the club, have to be 100th percentile on a scripted pve fight

mild thunder
#

still funny af that you actually got kicked

#

after we asked for a SF

#

if Late was in charge we'd have a SF sadge

scarlet flame
#

what is sf

mild thunder
#

@spice hornet @elfin surge okay, im calling it... the arms buffs were a lie

elfin surge
#

We'll see

mild thunder
#

mud, i think you've lost sight of the fact that blizzard doesnt care about us

spice hornet
#

You know warrior is bad when mud isn’t really playing

swift folio
#

did they change something with solo shuffle i get pretty much insta ques as dps

sharp meteor
swift folio
#

had a lobby with 2 arms and 1 fury warrior

ruby temple
#

finally have time to begin my PVP grind and IK a few weeks ago people said to just roll my 441-444 pve gear in the meantime as I earn conquest but feelin a lil sused out with only 24% vers in pvp combat XD

#

I'm sure it'll be fine just gonna play super annoying

sage raptor
#

lead game designer plays lock

random fractal
#

opinion on this trinket in pvp

#

looks good for fury and matches up with our cds

scarlet flame
#

its like im playing sks again

#

i love it keks

vapid tartan
green anchor
#

''Doomstrike''

#

Nature damage

random flare
#

is wrecking/shattering throw worth taking or should i just go bitter immunity for arenas

muted surge
#

It’s worth if needed, it isn’t if not

mild thunder
#

shatter bad

sharp meteor
#

Wrecking is great into absorbs.

#

Shatter feels inefficient.

#

(and unreliable)

mild thunder
#

by the time you get shatter off into any decent team, the player is full hp

#

usually

sharp meteor
#

Pressure is usually gone.

#

Colossus Smash, Sharpen, Slaughterhouse, thunderous ripped off.

#

Teammate has already tabbed.

mild thunder
#

arms is so good at swapping anyway

sharp meteor
#

Mhm. Just tabbing feels like the play most of the time, I think, at least in the context of shuffle.

mild thunder
#

id say even in 3s shatter is a waste

#

if a priest can MD, stay on them

#

other than that, swap imo

sharp meteor
#

In a match where you could've wrecked 5 times you could've instead just played shatter and had it stopped the single time you tried to use it. sadge

#

Even if not into cocoon/pact it feels nice into discs (rip)

mild thunder
#

yea shatter is so easy to LoS/outrange/disarm etc.

sharp meteor
#

Rets with their shield

#

Idk just feels like a decent button

#

Oh, and of course into Mages

mild thunder
#

pre sure it works into karma too

lean burrow
#

karma is absorb

#

if the tooltip doesn't lie critcake

mild thunder
#

what's going on

fickle forge
mild thunder
random flare
#

Is there a comprehensive pvp guide/website out there anywhere? I’m primarily a pve player so my go tos are wowhead and icy veins but the pvp sections of those guides are barely anything

scarlet flame
fiery lily
random flare
magic wing
#

Shatter when it works is sooo satisfying tho

thick reef
#

Yeah, you bunker bust em then skullfuck em

#

Ez

lean burrow
#

lots of guides

zinc willow
#

how do i work on the set bonuses? i see all the top pvpers with set bonuses but not sure how to start working on em..if anybody has a sec to explain?

muted surge
#

get a possible tier piece ( chest leg hands shoulder), drag your ass over to the catalyst and change it to a tier piece

#

get 1.6k rating in any bracket and you also get a tier token

lyric violet
#

holy shit man warrior jsut fucking sucks now

#

doesnt help i get put in these lobbies where people just forget to hit their defensives really tilts me

scarlet flame
#

yeah warrior is dog

last turret
#

warrior meme spec now sadge

elfin surge
#

warrior for sure getting buffs soon

#

class is just so bad

#

its unreal

lyric violet
#

straight up not having a good time.

#

about to be a ret main 👀

#

lets flaming sword go burr

lean burrow
#

copium buffs soon

lyric violet
#

i'm just in the lobby so the hpal can ge 6 rounds

#

i want a main character rework mid season

wheat jay
#

warr won't get a rework

#

or anything close to it

#

best you can hope for is some dmg buffs

lyric violet
#

5% damage buff

wheat jay
#

ye

lyric violet
#

😢

wheat jay
#

because warr is a solid class

#

its got everything it needs, just burst isnt as high as it used to

lyric violet
#

warrior is still designed like its 2008

wheat jay
#

its actually not

#

what's so 2023 about other specs?

lyric violet
#

i guess flashy abilities

#

we just spin

#

and yell

#

LOL

wheat jay
#

everything is designed like its 2008 because the game is from 2008

lyric violet
#

that's a fair point

river walrus
#

Only classes not designed for 2008 probably DH and Evoker since they are fairly new

wheat jay
#

well

#

ye

#

dh just got more skills that dont require targets

#

similar to good old cleave

#

and augmentation is the 1st one thats actually NEW

lean burrow
#

give arms bloodrage talent

spice hornet
#

I think what he means is that warrior kit is primitive. Nearly our entire kit is identical to classic/tbc except that we have stormbolt and leap. Like in cata we had an aoe interrupt shout, mop we had banners that do different things etc. all pruned. we still have to manually apply hamstring and many specs have their slows baked in etc,

lean burrow
#

gg, perfect spec

wheat jay
spice hornet
#

Rogues for example didn’t have abilities like smoke bomb, duel, vanish used to be unreliable and now it has healing/shields baked into it, etc

wheat jay
#

as if warrior needed more shit in his kit O_O

spice hornet
#

I@ just saying it’s the nearly the same kit since 2005

wheat jay
#

let me surprise you, most classes have same shit

#

they had for years

#

open your talent book

#

for any spec of warr

#

and you'll see a fuckton of new stuff

#

or stuff thats from 2 expansions back

scarlet flame
#

mortal strike should be like old dk ability and heal me for the health it prevents

#

im also so fucking tired of seeing aug evokers every single game

#

i can't stand those lizard shits

#

makes the other dps do 30k+ more dps and still can crit this like why is this even a thing

thick reef
#

Can anyone help me which spec and build is the better one if I just want to play random bgs? Fury or Arms? Also which spec in the pinned posts?

sharp meteor
#

They're both fine.

#

Although you'll have a better time playing with a group/healer.

thick reef
#

I find Fury still has more survival on its own?

#

I'm fury main since 2014, no idea about the state of arms

sharp meteor
#

It has more dueling potential, I think.

thick reef
#

That's what I'm thinking yeah

sharp meteor
#

You press Enraged Regen when on stun DR and just full heal.

thick reef
#

All I'm looking for is messing around in bgs and world pvp

sharp meteor
#

I just think the biggest difference is whether or not you play with others.

thick reef
#

No rated stuff

sharp meteor
#

Solo warrior in bgs isn't great.

thick reef
#

Never really was

sharp meteor
#

Diminishing return. Once CC'd you'll be affected less by future CCs.

#

Get stunned, come out of stun and heal to full.

#

Fury is neat like that in wpvp/bgs.

thick reef
#

Yeah I just tried Fury and Arms back to back and definitely Fury feels better for me

#

Can do more on my own

elfin surge
wheat jay
#

Can't get boosted by uglybaldbaby, cant get boosted by Chadkick

wheat jay
#

@elfin surge maybe play with augmentation evoker?

#

And just do 100k dps by yourself

elfin surge
wheat jay
#

Well

#

You'd be full carry

#

100k dps monkey

#

As god intended xD

fallen solar
#

I like arms though

#

MS is so annoying to healers

#

Arms has good damage too.

#

I hit over 100k MS when they crit of course. Only when buffed properly

#

Fury has the better tier set too

#

So when it’s all said in done. Fury

#

I climb easier too

mild thunder
#

100k is not good burst

#

that's lower than our s1 burst

#

s1 we were critting for 150k - 200k+ during burst

mild thunder
#

artji with the terminal Ls today sadge

river walrus
rotund trellis
#

lol 3s at 1700+ are unplayable for warriors

supple galleon
#

so I have a question, if a slow is a slow, and a root stops you from moving completely, wtf is a snare?

supple galleon
#

okay how the fk am I supposed to do anything against frost mage

lucid walrus
#

you don’t

#

smoke weed and make like mishima

supple galleon
spice hornet
#

i think snare is technically for ground effects

#

like old ice trap

#

earth bind

#

but people just mainly use slow as the main term

#

either you are slowed or rooted

#

@mild thunder i think i know what it takes to be SF @elfin surge

bright stream
#

wait Mud reckons warrior dead

#

what's been happening team

#

@mild thunder

#

(had to brb a month to get IRL achievements)

mild thunder
#

how about we all send them to each other and then i'll send them to the right person

wheat jay
#

Since my warr homie quit because he's dumb

mild thunder
#

arms is magnitudes more basic and dull than more modern specs like sv, ww, fire mage etc.

#

arms has virtually nothing going on besides ms > op > ms > op > ms > op

#

and rage is a joke of a resource

#

in the entirety of s1, i may have looked at my rage bar once or twice during an arena game

#

once or twice total, not once or twice in a game

#

@spice hornet @elfin surge back me up

wheat jay
#

What do I have, mongoose which is just better slam, bomb that's just a dot, Serpent sting that's just like rend, except its nature dmg not bleed

#

Kill command which is closer to overpower

#

Death chakram is worse collosus smash

#

Did I miss anything?

mild thunder
#

arms is also one of the only specs left in the game with no splash aoe outside of bladestorm

wheat jay
#

Ye, twice as many, but most is utility

mild thunder
wheat jay
#

Dmg is not intricate at all

mild thunder
#

arms literally uses two dps buttons, ms and op

#

and sometimes execute

wheat jay
#

Twice as many buttons to do dmg then?

#

Aight list me all

mild thunder
#

KC, MB, bomb, sting

wheat jay
#

Cuz you're talking out of your ass

mild thunder
#

twice as many as op, ms

wheat jay
#

Op ms rend

mild thunder
#

rend is barely worth even keeping up

wheat jay
#

Its still dmg

mild thunder
#

then when you get into minor CDs, sv has explosive, chakrams, flanking and fury of the eagle if you take it (it sucks icl)

#

arms has... cs

#

another flat buff

wheat jay
#

Fury you never take

#

Explo is dispellable

mild thunder
#

im not talking about whether it's good or dispellable

wheat jay
#

Chakrams is worse collosus

#

Flanking is 10/10

mild thunder
#

im talking about what you have to make it fun

wheat jay
#

Love my flanking

#

You also have spear, which is sadly out of meta now

mild thunder
#

so true bro

wheat jay
#

Also, warr should have gotten aftercocke

mild thunder
#

10% flat

#

it was phys in SL

wheat jay
#

Which is mongoose that does less than ms

#

Its still physical

mild thunder
#

it's flat

#

10% flat dmg buff

wheat jay
#

Oh nvm

#

You're right

mild thunder
#

ARGUMENT OVER

wheat jay
#

20% > 10%

#

Argument over

#

Math wins

mild thunder
#

again, cs gets immediately disarmed or kited

#

sv

#

does not

#

because disarms are useless and the spec cannot be kited unless you're a fingerless moron

wheat jay
#

Disarms are not useless lol

mild thunder
#

they're pretty ass

#

outside of CA

#

during CA they're great

wheat jay
#

Seeing how much shit arms has ppl can barely kite it too

mild thunder
#

bro has not versed a frost mage

wheat jay
#

Barely

mild thunder
#

bro has not played on blades edge

wheat jay
#

Not never

mild thunder
wheat jay
#

Double charge, heroic leap, 2 root breaks, if you Play with hpala which is now meta you cant get kited as warr

#

They can bop disarms too

mild thunder
#

if you're consistently bopping disarms, you're probably versing fingerless retoids

wheat jay
#

But tbh this convo is eye opening

#

Maybe i should roll dh instead of warr xan

mild thunder
#

the spec literally does s1 dmg

#

LESS

#

LESS THAN S1 BURST

wheat jay
#

That's why there's still quite a few above 2400?

mild thunder
#

because warrior will always be a popular spec because of how iconic and braindead it is

#

not because it's still particularly relevant in the meta

wheat jay
#

And because its always strong with its kit lol

mild thunder
#

the kit that has been continuously pruned, especially over the last two xpacs?

wheat jay
#

warr wasn't rly pruned going from SL to DF

#

you lost banner

#

done

#

some classes do more dmg, done

mild thunder
#

3 seconds on intervene
overwatch
aoe spell reflect
safeguard
1min rally + half the power of rally
necro banner
2 seconds of duration on spear
45 seconds of cooldown on spear
sharpen blade nerfed
condemn charge

#

all the utility arms lost through the course of SL to now

#

that i can think of

#

and yes, it got some stuff to make up for it here and there - shockwave, impending, double time

#

but that is a tough trade

wheat jay
#

out of all those what was not deserved?

#

because some stuff was just BUSTED

#

beyond reason

mild thunder
#

overwatch, banner, sharpen blade, spear nerfs

#

could all easily come back

wheat jay
#

banner was broken

#

just another modifier that led to oneshots

mild thunder
#

and the power on rally

wheat jay
#

rally is arguable, but okay lets say it should be back

mild thunder
wheat jay
#

what do you not understand about "oneshots"

#

roll some old mud clips lmao

#

"okay guys he doesnt have trinket, ill use storm bolt and 100-0 in two globals"

#

"im so good man, he used trinket lol"

mild thunder
#

it can also be balanced around... y'know, not oneshotting

#

instead of just removing it

wheat jay
#

so, like now?

#

when you just dont have it

mild thunder
#

no... now they just removed it

wheat jay
#

yes

mild thunder
#

that's not balancing it

wheat jay
#

as god intended

#

if something is bad for the game, you remove it

mild thunder
#

the decision to remove it also had nothing to do with balance or whether it was bad

#

it was never picked up in pve

#

simple

wheat jay
#

it was bad tho

sage raptor
#

Yall are all wrong

mild thunder
#

covenants that were pve relevant stayed, pvp ones didnt

wheat jay
#

its purpose were to oneshot

wheat jay
mild thunder
#

????

wheat jay
#

only for half of a patch

mild thunder
#

spear was meta in m+ for the last two seasons

#

bro

wheat jay
#

and for tanks in m+

mild thunder
#

what are you on

wheat jay
#

ye, which was half of a patch iirc

mild thunder
#

fury spear was meta in raid for the last 2 seasons

#

no...

wheat jay
#

arms was better in sanctum

#

fury played condemn, but bosses didnt favour it

mild thunder
#

as soon as cov leggos came out, spear was the go-to for all specs in m+

wheat jay
#

so noone played it

aftershock never saw play because of the hard cap

wheat jay
#

aftershock was better in m+ s1 for fury

#

becasue of passives

mild thunder
#

even in raid spear was more popular because it was easier to use as arms

wheat jay
#

then in s2 for bosses it was best

mild thunder
wheat jay
#

s2 for arms it was best

mild thunder
#

you're just wrong

#

idk what to say

wheat jay
#

so you're just talking out of your ass

mild thunder
#

aftershock was great for season 1
season 2 we got cov legendaries and spear became a lot more popular (as well as its conduit scaling better)

#

aftershock cov leggo sucked because mobs needed to sit on the dot

#

that's why it fell so far behind

#

and the conduit was ass

wheat jay
#

okay im checking

#

cuz youre dumb

mild thunder
#

im not dumb

#

you didnt even play the spec

wheat jay
#

nathria everyone was NF in mythic later on

#

first half was condemn

mild thunder
#

NATHRIA WAS SEASON ONE

wheat jay
#

for arms

#

im starting from s1 dumbass

mild thunder
#

there were 4 seasons

#

for 3 seasons aftershock sucked for m+

wheat jay
#

sanctum was both kyrian and nf, nf being better because it did MORE DMG

mild thunder
#

MYTHIC PLUS

wheat jay
#

now sepulcher was mostly kyrian, with many still playing nf at the top

#

not sure you can check older m+ seasons on raider.io but many still played nf in later patches

#

kyrian was more popular except for s1

#

when nf was broken

#

also, later in the patches you could have just swapped

#

first patches you couldn't

mild thunder
#

for raw single-target fights, NF was okay, but if it only fulfills one niche and barely, while kyrian massively beat it out in m+, i would think its fair to say it wasnt particularly relevant

wheat jay
#

one niche being DMG?

#

🙂

mild thunder
#

one niche being single-target fights with little-to-no movement

wheat jay
#

which was every single fight there lol

mild thunder
#

and the dmg difference was negligible and mostly a result of the overpowered NF soulbinds

wheat jay
#

ye it was about soulbinds same in m+

mild thunder
#

???

#

no, it was about spear being half the CD and uncapped aoe

wheat jay
#

in s1 it was purely soulbinds

mild thunder
#

NF arguably had better m+ soulbinds with korayn

wheat jay
#

crit chance on new target was broken

mild thunder
#

also to be clear, aftershock technically did make its way to DF

#

it got renamed and remodeled into thunderous roar

wheat jay
#

nah

#

nah nah nah

mild thunder
#

fulfils the exact same function with none of the major positional downsides

wheat jay
#

its a fury skill renamed

mild thunder
#

thunderous roar is nothing like dragon roar

#

it shares the same icon and animation but the functions are completely different

wheat jay
#

damage

#

done

#

no cc, no rage generation

#

no frontal big ass slap

mild thunder
#

aftershock - 90sec aoe burst with a dot
TRoar - 90sec aoe burst with a dot
DRoar - 30sec mostly-ST burst with no dot

wheat jay
#

no utility

#

dont forget the knockdown part

mild thunder
#

TRoar had a knockdown right until the end of beta sadge

wheat jay
#

did

mild thunder
#

but point is, it contributes a nearly-identical dmg profile

#

with none of the major downsides

wheat jay
#

not rly

#

knockdown in pvp was the big thing

#

cuz it was the only part of it that was useful there xD

mild thunder
#

spoiler alert

#

they dont care about pvp

wheat jay
#

as if they ever did lol

mild thunder
#

which is why pvp-relevant covenants didnt make it to DF

wheat jay
#

spear did O_O

mild thunder
#

because it was dominating pve...

wheat jay
wheat jay
#

Galafish peepoHappyFisher

mild thunder
#

spear was also barely relevant by the end of SL

#

every spec figured out how to bug it and make it useless

#

idk man, ive already said how they could fix arms a thousand times

#

they'll never do it

wheat jay
#

i said the same about survi, they never will either

#

11.0 fix waiting room lol

#

im just waiting for Chrono odyssey now anyway xD

mild thunder
#

difference is sv is a fun, dynamic spec

#

your proposed changes turn it into another generic hunter spec that bicmex would hate

wheat jay
#

tbh rn id just like flayed shot back

#

cuz of dmg

weak wedge
mild thunder
#

it just has better burst now instead

#

tryna finish lvling an alt and getting farmed by 3 lvl 70s deadge

mild thunder

mild thunder
#

spec is extremely fun, esp in pvp

#

arms has so few buttons that we spam an off-gcd defensive that costs rage weird

elder island
#

What tier and crafted are we running with for arms pvp?

wheat jay
#

just said arms is not a 2008 spec, because everything except dh and evoker is a 2008 spec

mild thunder
#

you gonna tell me outlaw, fire mage, ww, sub, sp, ele, enh are all 2008 specs?

wheat jay
#

as much as arms is keks

spice hornet
#

Arms is the closest to 2008 version of the spec than any other

wheat jay
#

you played bm?

mild thunder
mild thunder
# wheat jay you played bm?

bm is a meme and extraordinarily braindead and it still has more going on and more to keep track of than arms, and plays very smoothly

wheat jay
#

you mean pressing 2 buttons and 2 cooldowns?

#

yep, a lot of going on xD

mild thunder
#

actually having buffs to maintain, while the spec interacts with itself in a meaningful way that you can optimise

wheat jay
#

what buffs, its literally only barbed shot

#

which is rotation

mild thunder
#

arms is literally just proc-fishing between 2 buttons with no regard for resource management and near-infinite CD resetting

mild thunder
scarlet flame
#

why this guy in skrims bro

wheat jay
#

its like saying you need to keep track of deep wounds keks

mild thunder
#

im not arguing that bm is difficult or complex, but the fact is that it does require some rotation-optimising to maintain its buff properly

mild thunder
#

you do not generate enough thrill stacks to keep it up perfectly with no effort

#

hence bm needs to dump barbed stacks before bestial wrathing

#

and then fish for procs and fire off early to maintain stacks

#

so yes, it's a "part of the rotation", and that part of the rotation is optimising your buff upkeep

wheat jay
#

it literally comes from just doing your rotation

#

you dont need some 5head logic and skill to do it xD

mild thunder
#

can you read?

wheat jay
#

either i can't or you're spitting bullshit

spice hornet
#

Artji with L takes today as well

#

He’s a hunter main anyway ofc he

wheat jay
#

better to be a hunter with L than warrior with W seeing how y'all bitch every time you're not predators of the ladder

mild thunder
scarlet flame
#

every class bitches all the time

#

so that point doesn't make sense at all

wheat jay
#

some bitch more, some bitch less

mild thunder
scarlet flame
#

not even close to true

mild thunder
scarlet flame
#

how many ret-ards did you see non stop crying about getting nerfed after being the most op class the game has ever seen

#

how many hpals do you see defending themselves now that they're also broken

#

or boomkins or sub rogues or mages

#

literally every class bitches the same amount about their class

#

i see supa hard defending moonkins like the moon spells aren't totally overtuned garbage lmao

teal hedge

Warriors truly are the brian griffins of the classes

lucid walrus

get away with the most disgusting shit

mild thunder
#

stewie has gotta be warlock because he's a pet spec

lucid walrus

LMAO

#

you can't tell me hunters aren't more popular than warriors rn this is back to back

wheat jay
#

is there a site that shows class popularity after a certain patch?

#

cuz checkpvp is only popularity above X rating xD

scarlet flame

idk this is just skrims and ss i see way to many hunters

Although in the case of the weekly spark fragment I don't think it matters.

wheat jay
#

this shit ain't normal

#

they did more healing than my healer xD

sage raptor
#

You're not playing with the hpal?

teal hedge
#

I unironically lift more than I play wow now

wheat jay
#

i am playing with the same person i did in all the other seasons

#

man's playing all healers

sage raptor
#

I'm so confused. I'm assuming you're the surv hunter which would imply the hpal is on your side given the color coded bars. And there's only one healer I see and its top heals

sage raptor
wheat jay
#

he plays all healers

#

ohhh you were legitimately asking

#

i thought you meant to shame the hpal reroller keks

sage raptor
#

Oh no lol. My gf plays hpal tho

wheat jay
#

its conflicting for me not gonna lie

#

cuz i hate hpal's design 😦

#

but man's a treasure so I don't mind it

sage raptor
#

Same tbh

wheat jay
#

you have it better tho 😦

#

i dont have a gamer gf

sage raptor
#

It's great and all until you push in pvp and you get a bunch of weird excuses as to why you died lol

wheat jay
#

i mean

#

xD

#

it is what it is i guess haha

sage raptor
#

Yeah I just learned to roll with the punches.

#

Like when I put down an amz and she runs away from

wheat jay
#

lol

sage raptor
#

It just be that way lol

wheat jay
#

it is what it is

#

i just play chill games with him

#

some 2s, sometimes 3s

#

he's got some team for main 3s now

sage raptor
#

Hell at least we have people to play with. A lot don't even have that.

wheat jay
#

cuz i can't play cuz of work, kargish can't play cuz he a pussy

sage raptor
#

Boooo

wheat jay
#

if i was to play SS i'd kys

sage raptor
#

The highest ive ever gotten was around 600

#

That was the worst experience wow has ever given me

wheat jay
#

ss is annoying

scarlet flame
#

@wheat jay fuck you surv does dumbass damage for no reason

wheat jay
#

very

wheat jay
#

check this

sage raptor
#

And the waiting just to queue into specs that hard counter you is so aids.

scarlet flame
#

no i already konw hunters are stupid

wheat jay
#

im not even HALF conq gear

#

oh wait

#

nvm

#

actually half

#

xD

scarlet flame
#

fuck hunters who want more defensives

wheat jay
#

you do know what spirit bond is, right?

scarlet flame
#

splits damage with pet you can heal forever

wheat jay
#

and 50% of its healing goes to hunt

scarlet flame
#

idc hunters are dumb

#

fuck hunters

wheat jay
#

ITS MASTERY

#

its THIS much healing

#

XD

sage raptor
#

LMAOOOO

wheat jay
#

ye bro

#

broken

#

better nerf it

scarlet flame
#

in 1 fight that lasted 30 sec hunter healed 600k with it

wheat jay
#

that sir, is impossible

sage raptor
#

Imagine getting hammered by a hunter and blaming it on its mastery

wheat jay
#

cuz mine healed 600k in a 8min game

#

xD

scarlet flame
#

well the surv hunter that just beat my face in that healed himself to full hp 3 times says otherwise

wheat jay
#

sorry, 7min

wheat jay
#

sorry

#

thats impossible

scarlet flame
wheat jay
#

was it survi or bm?

scarlet flame
#

surv

wheat jay
#

so it was half of it

#

300k heal

scarlet flame
#

damn wish i had a 300k heal

wheat jay
#

thats less than half of hp bar

sage raptor
#

+damp

scarlet flame
#

300k is his health bar

#

is half*

sage raptor
#

I need to see this unicorn

scarlet flame
#

you are seeing it

wheat jay
#

no way it was 30s game

#

XD

#

because it literally doesn't work like that

#

i sent you 7min game

scarlet flame
#

i just tried to kill this man and he full healed 3 different times

wheat jay
#

where it did 511k

scarlet flame
#

explain

wheat jay
#

survi has one heal

#

that's 30% of his hp

sage raptor
#

Was this in an arena or wpvp?

scarlet flame
#

it was bg

wheat jay
scarlet flame
#

just me vs him noone else around

wheat jay
#

ok so it was bg

#

30s fight with him, how long were you both in combat?

scarlet flame
#

the whole time until i died

wheat jay
#

which lasted how long?

scarlet flame
#

30 seconds

wheat jay
#

not just iwth him

#

with everyone

fallow wagon
#

Hey there ! Little question about gearing ! I'm actually buying conq stuff, and i was wondering if i should replace a honor helm or ring / neck over my hands / pants that i actually have on PvE tier set and turn it onto PvP tier set

scarlet flame
#

i joined late

wheat jay
#

i dunno then

scarlet flame
#

prob 2 mintes

wheat jay
#

cuz that's impossible

scarlet flame
#

minutes

wheat jay
#

and him healing to full without healer is also impossible

wheat jay
#

cuz generally you want bigger pieces first

#

if its heroic, then imo go ahead and buy big pieces first

#

if its mythic then you can keep it because iirc its 447

#

which is a small diff

#

then buy smaller pieces

#

priority is weapon > helmet/chest/legs > shoulders/boots/gloves > back/wrist > accessories > trinkets

fallow wagon
#

Yey, they're on 441, so ima gonna buy the rest of the tier set at 450 !

scarlet flame
wheat jay
#

fair point

#

that one could be better

#

but then again, rings give more vers

#

and wrist is main stat

scarlet flame
#

true

wheat jay
#

id still buy them last i think

scarlet flame
#

i buy escape trink last most of the time

#

yeah ig alacrity is only like 100 main stat diff from honor to conq

wheat jay
#

not worth it

upper snow
#

In a general sense, does arms have more survivability than ret? It feels night and day playing the two and I feel like paper on my ret compared to arms.

wheat jay
#

Not really

#

Warrior is super durable, with a healer

#

Without a heal arms flops

#

Whereas ret can live a bit better by itself

upper snow

arms or fury for pvp?

spice hornet
#

Neither

umbral sleet

yikes

#

prot it is then

spice hornet
#

Both DPS warrior specs are really bad rn

#

If you had to pick one probably furycis slightly better

umbral sleet
#

ofc warr is bad when i come around to reroll it xD

wheat jay
#

Fury with augmentation could be very good

#

Augmentation is stupid as fuck

Just cleavin stuff up

sage raptor
#

am I high or was Necro Banner in the talent tree at one point?

sage raptor
#

damn

#

was just a dream then

#

not even in beta?

mild thunder
#

we kinda had condemn in beta, minus the magic dmg + defensive part

sage raptor
#

well poo

#

maybe when they cull rotational abilities from the trees in 11.0, they'll think about adding stuff

mild thunder
sage raptor
#

yeah fs. im just saying it'd be nice to have cool abilities like that again

mild thunder
#

yea banner was fun

#

ohhh, i think i know what you thought was in beta

sage raptor
#

honestly, I miss all the cov abilities. Warr got lucky imo.

#

what

mild thunder
#

we had skull banner that gave 4 allies 30% crit dmg for a few seconds

sage raptor
#

ohhhh

#

yeah that sounds right

#

that wouldve been insane lol

mild thunder
#

yea, kinda happy it didnt stay

#

it looked kinda undertuned and was in a really awkward position on the tree iirc

#

i want enduring blow back instead of battlelord, it's so boring

sage raptor
#

yeah :/

#

why did blizz bring all the boring cov abilities into DF?

#

and why did warr only get spear?

mild thunder
#

yea some classes got kinda shafted

#

enh didnt even get chain harvest keks

sage raptor
#

lmaooo I forgot about that

#

that was a sick ability

#

when I didnt get 100-0'd

mild thunder
#

i loved full-healing my team at 1% mana while almost oneshotting the entire enemy team

sage raptor
#

peak gameplay tbh

#

just outplay them and win

mild thunder
#

it was a great "oh shit" button

sage raptor
#

gg2ez

#

I wonder with the abscence of borrowed power if we'll ever have fond memories of crazy abilities again with "new blizzard"

mild thunder
#

well technically we still have tier and embellishments

#

but they're a lot less interesting... DF tier sets have been omega dull so far

sage raptor
#

and tbh I've never heard anyone say "bro remember dk tier in t27? that was crazy bro"

#

I think the dull abilities were on purpose because the trees are still new

mild thunder
#

does anyone ever say any iteration of dk was crazy besides its release?

sage raptor
#

new for an evergreen system I mean

mild thunder
#

and wod necrotic plague

sage raptor
#

no but it was the class I was thinking of because it had one cov ability in DF and it got nerfed pre-season

mild thunder
#

i legit dont even remember the other dk covs

sage raptor
#

the kyrian one was close to being so cool

#

one sec
