We will push on

#

Hey i'm completely fresh to arms pvp, do you press rend at all or just soley spread it through thunderclap?
Same question for slam, should i keybind that?

wheat jay
#

Clap

#

Slam is for killing totems

#

The ones with 0 hp

lucid cloud
#

Thanks fam

fallen estuary
#

They need to make slams gcd half to actually make it good lmao

#

So many buffs but still damn weak lol

fickle forge
#

You're just a hater bro

#

Slam fat 🙏

modern veldt
#

how high do saddles stack in bags?

lucid cloud
#

Do any of the warrior specs even use slam lol i've not played it long but it doesn't seem like it

fallen estuary
#

They dont lmao

#

Literally use rend on totems. You get OP procs from better rage usage

fickle forge
#

Zhrey memed with it on arms, it didn't seem like completely horrible, even if it was memey

static mortar
#

I did it boys

#

They made me claw my way up from 1300 mmr for some reason

hybrid vale
#

for crafting pvp gear, what exactly do i do?

#

the trophies are from the quest and if i'm behind, I can get them from a vendor?

static mortar
hybrid vale
#

ok cool

#

cause i wanna get into pvp as prot this season

#

but i also mostly raid/m+ so i was gonan craft two off pieces with pvp ilvl on them

lavish quest
#

Those trophies aren't for crafting gear btw. Just for upgrading the world pvp gear

You can’t rend totems they are immune?

hybrid vale
fallen estuary
#

rend has instant damage lmao itll kill a totem

violet fossil
thick reef
#

They aren't

#

You have to target it though

drowsy sparrow
#

Hello everyone, as Arms, if I don't have the set pieces yet, is it still worth it to play Rend+Clap? Or should I skip those and go for something else until I got 2/4 set pieces?

thick reef
#

90% sure you Rend+Clap anyway

lavish quest
#

Yes. We used it last patch before this tier, now it's just better.

#

Only exception (last patch) was if you knew you would only single target. Now you basically use it all the time even if just pets are getting rend for procs

mint pulsar
#

thoughts on unhinged vs hurricane?

#

i hate not being able to cancel BS

#

why do people prefer hurri?

muted surge
#

more focused damage

#

probably

#

and mv speed

#

wohhooo

mint pulsar
#

if u unhinge 1 target, i guess it still mortasl strikes

#

but is that less or more damage than hurri?

#

or is it building up the MS after the bladestorm with the str-stack thats "important"?

spice hornet
#

Unhinged is unreliable

#

Hurricane gives huge str bonus

#

And move speed

#

Nearly every comp in this game has some form of minion spawning

drowsy sparrow
#

Man Arms has too many buttons for my brain 🥲

#

How often would you say you cast Rend instead of using just Thunder Clap? Could I safely remove it from my hotbar and not lose a ton of potential DPS? I feel like you'd only use Rend if TC is on cooldown and they dispel your Rend or something 😄

lavish quest
#

Unhinged is bad. Hurricane has a trade off. Sometimes warriors will run neither (because they need to cancel bladestorm, but unhinged still bad.)

lavish quest
#

Almost never.

#

Why would you not clap cheeks if you could instead clap cheeks?

They call it comp stomp

wtf happened to this game

#

this is a joke right?

Oh this looks like shadowlands xD

Just tunnel a mf and do top dmg

Only drawback is roots and weak defensives

rotund trellis
magic wing
#

Yeah just go gnome and its fixed

fallen estuary
#

uhhh holy fuck

#

have you guys tried skullsplitter?

#

i think it makes the 2set work

#

and its really fucking good

#

Sweeping into skullsplitter bladestorm is utterly powerful

#

during skullsplitter you are just SPAMMING SD procs

tribal wedge
#

i tried it first week, and it seems very mid so idk

bright stream
#

wasnt this game at like 1200 cr?

rotund trellis
#

no this is 1600 sorry

#

hahah it was NOT fun

fallen estuary
#

3 sub rogues seems kinda op in 3s

bright stream
bright stream
#

for sure

rotund trellis
#

I was actually thinking on how to beat it, we had a pala and a druid

bright stream
#

especially at lower CR when rogues just bully bad healers

rotund trellis
#

in the SL arena

#

I tried a couple of bladestorms

#

to no avail

#

stood in cons, no luck

bright stream
rotund trellis
#

they waited like 3 minutes before the opening

bright stream
#

sub does very mid damage between the big goes

#

did you collect the invis eyes?

fallen estuary
#

i mean shadowy is like 6 sec and undispellable and theres no DR

bright stream
#

that would be kinda hilarious

#

lol

fallen estuary
#

there is no DR for shadowy

bright stream
#

now there's something to genuinely complain about

#

and evis hitting that hard is stupid but

#

outside of that subs basically fine

rotund trellis
#

I mean, it's a meme comp for sure, and reddit is so dense they didn't even read my "funny" flair, but if you think about it it could work if you got 3 great rogue players

#

not viable at high cred, but it could work for a climb

bright stream
rotund trellis
#

hahah so true

#

honestly I feel the game is pretty balanced, but this season is dead in terms of attendance

bright stream
rotund trellis
#

may be the ranks and late expansion fatigue, but we just got a major patch, and even in standard ladder, there's very few games

fallen estuary
#

imagine taking opinions from reddit seriously nice or critical

bright stream
#

the queues and ratings are very similar to what they were like in both S1 and S2

#

at this stage in the season

rotund trellis
#

I don't play SS much, mainly 2s and 3s, so I don't know about cues too much, but I got some 30-40 mins as dps

bright stream
#

combine 2-3 of them and hitting 40 minutes is normal

#

though even then I've seen most of my queues between 20-30, with only off peak pushing it above 30, and only one queue or so above 40ish

rotund trellis
#

what rank?

bright stream
#

2100-2200 unholy dk/arms war week 1 and onwards, 1600-1800 mage/warlock/shaman

#

longest queues I've seen were on the lower ranked toons at like midnight aus time on a monday

rotund trellis
#

ah not bad then, even at 2100 you got only 20 miins?

bright stream
#

maybe there's a huge difference between wednesday and today lmao

rotund trellis
#

didn't cue ss today, working on my 3s ranking

#

I wanna park 2s and 3s at 1800 and wait a couple of weeks to try and push to 2100

rotund trellis

jesus fuck dhs still hit like boulders

I'm definitely going to start using more mastery. It's only like a percent difference and you hit better with mastery.

#

(I watched Seifs vid) 😆

drowsy sparrow
#

How can I get my set pieces the PvP iLevel upgrade ("Increases item level to 489 in Arenas and Battlegrounds.")? Is it the verdant trophies? The trophies say they only work on crafted gear but maybe that's just an in-game miss? 🙂

rotund trellis
#

caps sorry

drowsy sparrow

#

(including the pvp target dummies)

lavish quest
#

If you mean the tier set peices. You either get pvp tier from vault, or you use converter to make pvp gear into tier

#

If I'm understanding your question correctly

#

If it doesn't say the scaling thing, it won't scale

mental knoll
#

so i guess the sure-fire-way of getting 30 to 1 hour SS queues to pop is to walk away to go to the bathroom for 1 minute, come back and see you missed your queue

#

happened twice to me this morning 😠

lavish quest
#

Yeah, ya ever try to bait it? Walk away and come back 30 seconds later to see if it's popping? Lol

mental knoll
#

that i am gonna try once i hit the 45 minute mark again in my next queue lol

merry drift
#

👍

#

1/20 matches actually go all the way for me lol

magic wing
#

Dead game lol

drowsy sparrow
lavish quest
#

So it's the same gear. But if it doesn't originate from pvp, it doesn't scale. Aka, if it doesn't say it scales in pvp at the bottom of it, it doesn't.

#

The only tier that does has to come from a pvp source. Only 2 ways of doing that. You RNG tier in your pvp slots of vault. Or you convert pvp gear into tier

#

With the catalyst

#

Lmfao i love shit warriors on ladder talking shit blaming them being trolled for their losses

#

dude doesnt HT skyfurys and shaman ass blasts him

#

"oh im being trolled hard"

#

i talk shit and he tells me he has 1021313 glad mounts and i got 0, i tell him i got a job that pays more than a wendys grill and he freaks the fuck out LMAO

#

then he ignores me and i cant talk shit back and goes and talks shit back

i just booked 72 hours this week and expecting 1300-1400 payday this friday as i relax with my 10 PTO to grind this shit

#

my car insurance just got reduced by 120$ and i pay only 600 a year now for full tort and my credit score just went up by 3 points for doing absolutely nothing with my cards capped full of cash. i can rest easy knowing i can still play warrior in arena even with a soul crushing job

can you PLEASE fucking remove clyde

#

investing in stocks n shit is reta when the bank can literally dupe money for you easy\

#

boom theres my message i wanted to send

#

but naw cant say the big boy words in a discord for a game that people in their 40s play

rotund trellis
lavish quest
fallen estuary
#

yea im not saying its bad to invest in stocks but you can literally play the long game and dump money in a savings account and dupe your money passively. its REALLY good btw. you CAN do both but diverting the cash to both if you plan on min maxing it is kinda brutal if you are constantly buying stock w/o selling while dumping into savings

#

my stocks i buy are physical silver and put them in fancy displays wicked

mental knoll
fallen estuary

Best damn thing to invest in

yeah been thinking of doing fistweaver cause i play with 250 ms

mild thunder
#

fistweaving would be worse with high ms

#

better off playing hpala or something

sleek wave

i thought it functions as a mdps but heals?

mild thunder
#

and it just doesnt have amazing ways of sticking on your target like ww

sleek wave
mild thunder
#

i refuse to play melee specs that dont have at least +3 yard range

#

makes the game feel wayyy better

mild thunder

warrior and ww

sleek wave

i'd personally move to canada gladge

From the expertise you've accrued from losing to emus. peepo

Probably less birbs in Canada. Less of a menace for you

mild thunder

less americans too

lavish quest
#

That is a great benefit

#

I achieve that by just not going outside

teal hedge
#

Canada is basically like western sweden but a little worse

mild thunder

canada is just america-lite, but it seems more chill

literally just america's new zealand

shit, id almost say nz > aus tbh

but the rest? naw

maybe if you're a twitter socialist that thinks anyone to the right of bernie is a nazi

#

I'd have to read up to see where their labour party currently sits

I thought she was from a more obviously conservative party

mild thunder

i mean, do you think the australian labour party is conservative?

I'd say they lean slightly right though yes

mild thunder

ok yea

never mind

bright stream

RIP based Shorten

#

4 years later people realise that the man was 100% correct on housing policy,

#

australia too stupid to vote in their own best interests and just do what the age/herald sun tell them to do

What are pets but very annoying dots

teal hedge
#

Demon tyrant. .. . ..

#

Not much of a dot

fallen solar
#

Even after 2 nerfs DH is still OP. Really annoying fighting against them

#

You just die

teal hedge
#

Okay

fallen solar
#

Last season. DH was balanced imo

#

Still did good damage. U just didn’t flop over instantly

wheat jay
#

Dh was dogshit last season tho xD

#

And dh is not even that popular anymore, it fell off hard

#

Still S tier, but not the best spec anymore

bright stream
#

S tier is the best spec and the specs that compete with it

#

so basically just sub rn

wheat jay
#

Makes sense

#

Either way, it fell off hard after the nerfs

mild thunder
#

dh is still S tier lol

#

but it's not as good as uhdk now imo

fallen solar
#

Cause they in every lobby!

fallen solar
#

Well sub

#

But honestly. I never see them

#

It’s weird

violet fossil
#

dh is still much more popular

fallen solar
#

That’s what im saying

#

Every time a DH on my team we win lol

#

I deleted my DH once I got 1800

#

I couldn’t stand it anymore cause it was too cheesy

mild thunder
#

what no one talks about when it comes to how "strong" specs are is the ratio of strength:accessibility... sub might be overall stronger than xyz specs, but the accessibility to being that much better is more restricted than dh or uhdk

#

so is it technically better? yes
are most subs you see going to be as strong as most dh you see? probably not

violet fossil
#

sub balanc

bright stream
#

subs not that difficult to have very high impact with

#

sure when its damage is mediocre in some seasons it does, but RN not at all

mild thunder
#

it has a much less accessible skill-ceiling than most specs, especially specs like dh, arms, uhdk (three of the easiest specs in the game kekw)

tribal wedge
#

not sure about that

bright stream
#

dh, arms, and unholy are on at least 2 different levels there

#

probably 3

mild thunder
#

deranged take to say arms, dk and dh are all easy?

#

say cap rn

bright stream
#

yeah its derranged

tribal wedge
#

you barely can play war/uh/dh in auto brain dead mod

#

you can't do this as sub

bright stream
#

also hard disagree on sub having a high skill ceiling compared to every spec

#

its towards the top, but there are other specs there or above it depending on the season

tribal wedge
#

hmm, bro when you see guys like whaaz play, it's not the same game

mild thunder
#

sub has, and has always had one of the highest skill-ceilings in wow

#

all rogue specs do

#

feral does depending on the way it's being played

#

survival kiiinda does

#

arcane mage does

#

usually

bright stream
#

see I genuinely feel like unholy>survival in terms of skill ceiling

mild thunder
bright stream
#

since the remake, every single season

mild thunder
#

say sike rn

#

@wheat jay

bright stream
#

and I like playing survival, its a great spec

mild thunder
#

uhdk is so easy i physically cant stomach playing it

#

it's amazingly dull

bright stream
#

sounds like you just dont know how to play it

#

and have never taken it outside of a random bg

tribal wedge
#

broooooo

mild thunder
#

uhdk is not hard to learn... all of its cc is instant and unavoidable, it has several ways to avoid/negate cc, most of its burst is on-demand and your pet management is significantly less important than hunter

#

none of those apply to sv, and i dont even think sv has as high a skill-ceiling or floor as a lot of other specs

bright stream
#

yeah you don't know what you're talking about at all

#

those two specs are very similar in a lot of ways, the CC/positioning/all of it

mild thunder
#

i guess you can death/fade blinding sleet

#

that's about it lol

mild thunder
bright stream
mild thunder
#

uhdks are not pillar-sniping lmao

bright stream
#

sure, but there's things that are complex/difficult that survival doesnt do either

#

like having one of the most interesting positioning tools in the game

mild thunder
#

yea obviously there are things that uhdk will be required to do that sv isnt

bright stream
#

deathgrip when used for more than just 'charge' replacement

mild thunder
#

is that really that high of a skill-expression ability? grip out of LoS hurrdurr

bright stream
#

pillar spinning people with deathgrip is fucking chefs kiss

mild thunder
#

also sv actually does have repositional abilities

bright stream
#

I think sv/unholy very similar, with unholy slightly edging it out

mild thunder
#

yes, i do think uhdk has a noticeably lower skill-floor and ceiling than sv

#

i dont think they're very similar in playstyle or role, and i think survival's toolkit is generally harder to execute because it's a mix of skillshots (traps) and soft-cc that's easier to counterplay than hard cc like strang or asphyx

bright stream
#

also the pet positioning is more important/more difficult with unholy because of pet leap

#

lol

mild thunder
#

also not true... uhdk has no pet externals

#

unless im tripping

#

so you dont even have to position your pet for stuff like MC/RoS

bright stream
#

the pet leap can be deadzoned

#

and has a windup

#

so actually landing the interupt is a massive hassle

violet fossil
#

procs precog too

bright stream
#

yep

#

straight up, harder to use than any pet ability hunter has

mild thunder
#

doesnt sound that hard to use ngl, but yea that might be as much of a hassle as RoS

#

or MC

#

or misdirection

bright stream
#

if you're try harding as the cd comes up you use 'move to'

#

actually binding move to 🤮

mild thunder
bright stream
#

I've never seen a reason to use move to on a hunter tbh

#

you want the pet either on you, or on a target

#

in my experience

mild thunder
#

you manually control your pet for interlope targets

#

you have to manually control your pet for MC positioning

#

i split pet targeting to keep healers/rogues in combat sometimes

Not rly

#

festering wounds remind me more of the original frostbomb rather than combo points

wheat jay
#

You do most dmg in melee

mild thunder
#

you lose a lot of damage playing perma-range

lavish quest
#

Accidentally replied to wrong one but you know

mild thunder
#

and your burst takes you into melee

wheat jay
#

Your big hitters and cooldowns put you in melee

mild thunder
#

(remove coordinated assault charge pls)

wheat jay
#

Fote is now must have and its melee

lavish quest
#

So you there for a global then back to 40 yds, damn, must be rough

mild thunder
#

if you had the mobility to do that, but it's a wheelchair spec now ngl

violet fossil

#

Bombs do fuckall

#

Killshot is 80k

violet fossil
#

which is cool

mild thunder
#

make killshot oneshot

wheat jay
#

Mongoose bite is your main consistent dmg

bright stream
lavish quest
wheat jay
#

So you're a melee spec that cant live in melee

lavish quest
#

Remove executes from non warrior classes

wheat jay
#

And from range you do 20k dps

mild thunder
#

difference is execute is a random proc that buffs other abilities and procs from 35%

Yeah... it's much sadgers

mild thunder

that shit needs to be a glyph

wheat jay
#

Like, exe should be making people be afraid to drop below 20%

lavish quest
#

I mean... at least it looks cool amirite? lol

wheat jay
#

Meanwhile rogues and monks have true executes xD

mild thunder
#

like massacre and SD

lavish quest
mild thunder
#

the reason killshot hits so hard is because it's 20% only, has a 10s CD and its only proc is CA on a 2min CD

wheat jay
#

Hits hard, 80k on a druid

#

Full gear itd be like 100-120

mild thunder
#

tbf ive still had 175k killshots

wheat jay
#

Which is like 10%

mild thunder
#

it's just uber inconsistent

wheat jay
#

Non-crits i

mild thunder
#

yea non-crits highest ive seen is like 120k on mage

wheat jay
#

Survi execute is fote into killshot xD

mild thunder
#

i'll probs keep playing sv this season

#

it's just such a chad spec

lavish quest
#

Nah

mild thunder
#

i do kinda wanna pick up rogue tho... was watching whaaz play outlaw and it looks so damn fun

#

and ive played it... and it is fun

wheat jay
#

Imma play dh

#

Its fun

#

That's all I want from a spec xD

mild thunder
#

im loving feral, literally the only downside is my irl friend being a feral one-trick

#

so we cant do high keys and shit together

#

and he's a much better feral so i cant muscle him out of the spec sadge

@wheat jay buff intim when

anyone know when solo shuffle rating gets inflated?

@sharp meteor is an expert

sharp meteor
#

Vulpera are not to be inflated, sir.

teal hedge
#

Why did you say this

mild thunder
#

im just tryna be helpful clueless

teal hedge
#

:(

#

Hidden warrior tech: take meth

sharp meteor
#

But it's only like 20 per week + a free 80 first week

#

aka afk for 4 months for easy pushing

mild thunder
#

they need to just artificially pump tf out of this season

#

we’re in a recession and we need welfare rating to get people engaging with arena again

pseudo jungle
#

what are that stat weights for arms. i am so confused on the leader boards

simple rock
#

haste to ~20-25% (depending on preference) then all mastery

#

that's before pvp scaling

pseudo jungle
#

fml im way off

#

thanks

simple rock
#

i'm like 485pvp ilvl so almost max

#

been playing since the start of the ssn

pseudo jungle
#

im 486

#

went like almsot all haste

#

been wondering why it feels underwhelming

simple rock
#

all haste is good until you fight something where you don't have a ton of uptime

#

vs melee cleave full haste feels insane

pseudo jungle
#

yeah double melee is easy

#

noticed t hat

#

11/28/22/41 is what im at

#

after scale

simple rock
#

probably drop vers enchants and gems

#

go deeper into mastery

#

I have 35% vers and it feels good

gaunt notch
#

3-4 more wins till mount

pseudo jungle
#

i have no vers enchants lol

simple rock
#

oh I guess I have tier helm and chest

#

no vers

#

knotty spoke
#

is arms warrior is tanky a meme that im not understanding why are people scared to focus warriors

simple rock
#

they're quite tanky tbh

fickle forge
simple rock
#

would say there's no melee that's tankier than arms except sub maybe

fickle forge
#

And it makes others immortal as well

simple rock
#

safeguard is op

#

until they kite my vene

fickle forge
#

Arms def have the most peels in the game

#

Stronger than ret

mild thunder
#

except into caster cleaves

teal hedge
#

With a competent healer you can eat entire bursts with only using one cd

mild thunder
#

people that think arms is squishy are just the kinda warriors that leap behind pillar and die in a stun w/o popping CDs

#

and then type "nice heals"

#

@teal hedge knows

teal hedge
#

Too well critcake

trail plover
#

Does the legendary still function in pvp?

pliant hare
#

was curious myself on what pvp modifers the proc/onuse have

#

And if the ilvl gain makes it simply better than a epic pvp weapon

rotund trellis
#

What you guys think of the latest venruki video?

mild thunder
#

what video

mild thunder
#

eh, i avoid watching those kinda videos

#

(yes, i have added nothing to this conversation)

rotund trellis
#

usually me too. I automatically ignore fitness channels with titles like "THIS IS WHY YOU'RE DOING YOUR DEADLIFT WRONG"

or "STOP DOING THIS THIS AND THAT"

mild thunder
#

eh, for me it's moreso not wanting other peoples' enjoyment of xyz to affect my enjoyment of xyz... i have my opinion on the state of the game (not amazing), but i still enjoy enough to stay subbed

#

it's very easy to get sucked into the whirlpool of negativity with wow and pretty much all other games/media

rotund trellis
#

true, although I think that that video has some good points, like there has to be a way to incentivize participation from new players

mild thunder
#

im sure there are probably some decent points. i like ven more than supa or others, just something i try to avoid

rotund trellis
#

for sure. and he clearly states that the actual gameplay, balance and gearing is the best right niw

#

and i agree, the game is super fun.

mild thunder
rotund trellis
#

but lacks entry points for new players. I remember my first season, it was pretty rough, and I pushed through just because I kept pushing out of stubborness

#

and now I absolutely love pvp

mild thunder
#

as far as im aware m+ retention has been pretty standard and i think this season is actually slightly above average

rotund trellis
#

yeah he shows the data. PVp vs Mythic

mild thunder
#

shuffle has really just been the greatest bait in the history of gaming

rotund trellis
#

it's like 1000% higher

#

some of the top players are comparing this deflation to a scenario where you can't complete any key higher than +8 for the first 8 weeks

#

I mean I speak from personal experience, I am pretty bad to low average in pvp, and to get my 1800 this season i literally played Pikaboo, Mes, etc.

#

I had fun, but I don't think it's omething I'd like, again, as a very average player

mild thunder
#

2500xp last season in 3s, and we just couldnt break past 1600

#

felt horrible

rotund trellis
#

yeah it's a bad feeling, although the game is in an excellent state from a mechanics, balancing and overall accessibility standpoint

mild thunder
#

yea, gameplay is in a pretty good state... there's always some QoL improvements they could make for pvp (making stuff like omnibar, diminish baseline, in-game DR tracker etc.) but realistically i doubt it'll ever happen

#

unfortunately i just dont think shadowlands-level arena seasons will ever happen again with shuffle being introduced

#

blitz will take even more players once 11.0 drops

#

one of these has to go

#

wow pvp doesnt have the playerbase to support 5 ranked and 3 unranked gamemodes

rotund trellis
#

I agree, and that's why the ladder mmr needs to be revamped drastically, including rewards

#

if we get no new noobs, it's not good for the longevity of the game mode

mild thunder
#

if i were to give a wacky solution, i think rbgs should just be replaced by blitz and shuffle + 2s should be combined for a soloQ 2v2 gamemode where healer + dps is only matched against healer + dps and 2x dps against 2x dps

#

would it be perfect? no
but it would have far better queue times and 2v2 would be a better introductory gamemode for casuals than 3v3

rotund trellis
#

I mean it's not a bad idea,although I think ranked Solo 2s are much more difficult to balance

mild thunder
#

yea i dont think they should really go out of their way to try and balance it tbh

#

let it be what it is and focus the majority of balancing around 3s

#

if people dont wanna play double dps they can opt in to a "healer-only" option, it'll just mean they sit longer queues

#

@sharp meteor whaddya think? hire me or what

gaunt notch
#

i wonder if you'll beable to unlock the old grand marshal gear from the new rated solo q battle grounds once they come out

rotund trellis
#

what rank is grand marshal?

gaunt notch
#

back in the day it was rank 14, but getting 1800 rating in RBGs will give you access to the repllica armor for transmog

#

(or if you had at least rank 10 from back in the day you unlocked it)

brazen pewter
#

The game is probably far away from balancing in 2s especially without healer

gaunt notch
#

i just won full 6 rounds and still only got 2% credit for the mount

brazen pewter
#

Rogue/Mage will be very good in 2s without healer

#

Some other specs will be fairly bad without healer

#

But it surely is a possible approach

mild thunder
#

it's just a meme bracket for rdruids and feral druids

#

no one takes it seriously

brazen pewter
#

Yeah but still plenty of people will get crazy about it

#

Tbh I like skirmish plays a lot

#

Some classes have adv so what

#

It’s more close to world map encounter

#

It’s actually less realistic to always have a healer accompany with you

urban skiff

No patch notes today for retail, but patch notes for SoD. Guess we're locked into current balance until 10.2.5

#

what are u guys doing to set up a kill as arms in solo shuffle?

#

im really struggling finding resources for arenas to build on mechanics. Lots of build info, not really sure where to look for anything else.

lavish quest
#

Big damage often, big damage always

#

But depending on build your likely burst is Csmash, droar, avatar

rotund trellis
#

roar after avatar

lavish quest
#

Can't if you have blademasters which you run a lot of the time

#

Unless you waiting for after the bladestorm. But it's just better to before

lavish quest
#

Spikes damage more

#

And the dot power scales with your avatar once it's activated with how dots work now. So really just missing out on the 15% on the initial droar hit

#

For the benefit of putting more damage in a smaller window and being able to get things going immediately

rotund trellis
#

If you roar before avatar you lose 30% of it's damage, both initial and dot

lavish quest
#

Does roar snapshot and I didn't know about it?

rotund trellis
#

actually, 50% including avatar

lavish quest
#

Avatar nerfed in pvp to like 15% I think

rotund trellis
lavish quest
#

That is also nerfed in pvp to 15%

rotund trellis
#

well it's 30% between avatar bonus and hurricane bonus then

lavish quest
#

And if you really want that, you can use your normal bladestorm before you burst

rotund trellis
lavish quest
#

Patch notes over time

#

When in doubt, assume warrior shit is nerfed by at least 50% because most of the time you'll be right

#

Most of the arms talent tree is nerfed in pvp by large numbers

#

@elfin surge Would love to tell you more about it. It's his favorite subject.

@mild thunder

sleek wave
#

cant believe i got a pve head

#

i think i should just get the pvp shoulder and use a charge

urban skiff
#

Had a restodruid just run away from me when I was at 30%, straight up run away to the other end of the arena to go stealth and then he somehow ended up mindcontrolled and went off in the chat calling me the R word.

#

Like what

rough raven
#

Should I have a macro ready to equip a sword/shield, and use shield block if I need an extra defensive in arena?

violet fossil
#

helm

sleek wave
rough raven
#

I was getting trained a lot in the skirmish weekly, and before I could really do anything, just getting melted and made me think I need something else to pull if I'm getting trained so heavily. But then I'm also thinking it's primarily 2v2 against casters, and a shaman that's going from 0-4million damage in 5-7 seconds.

eternal hare
violet fossil
#

that’s just how the stats are

sleek wave
# eternal hare if its ur 4pc probably

i mean i have crafted helm but i have lfr chest. still have 1.2k(+550 when i cap) conquest and 2 charges for catalyst i think? if we got one. any second opinion. Thinking of getting the shoulder and just buying hands to convert. and just use 1.6k token for chest. and all in into rings/necks for conquest

violet fossil
#

Do you have 2nd PvP weapon?

sleek wave
violet fossil
#

o

#

I wouldn’t know what else to get tbh haha

#

with shoulders and hands you’re at 4pc right?

sleek wave
#

yeah im also confused hahaha

violet fossil
#

what’s the stats on chest?

sleek wave
#

its lfr hahaha i still have token tho from reaching 1.6k

violet fossil
#

I would get that with the token then like you said

sleek wave
#

yeah this is gimping me hard hahaha on the stamina department

violet fossil
#

actually what’s the stats on the tier pieces for shoulders and hands?

#

maybe just replace chest with a converted conquest chest

lavish quest
#

Hands is haste vers, shoulders it another crit garbo

violet fossil
#

damn

sleek wave
#

yeah il just buy chest with token. take shoulder from gv. buy hands and convert it. shoulder and head is garbo man

#

thanks man

Hey peeps. Losing a lot in arena lately as arms. I always top damage numbers but I feel like I actually do very little in the matches, like I see other warriors with more or less the same gear (Honor PvP + 2-set) and build (Thunderous Roar + Rend) as me get someone from 100-0 in two seconds or less.

I've watched some Bahjeera and Pikaboo videos that I found and I feel like I'm doing the steup correctly:

Sweeping -> Charge -> 2x Overpower -> Colossus Smash -> Sharpen -> Storm bolt target / shockwave if it can hit healer too -> [DPS Trinket + Thunderous Roar + Avatar]

This usually does like 30-40% of someone's HP assuming same iLvl as me.

Any guidance would be very helpful! 🙏

fickle forge

Yeah bro you gotta upload a VOD for us to help you there

trap just feels bad

felt good when survi was more ST

#

now everything is some cleave/frontal

You get the added benefit of being able to make swaps as well

wheat jay
#

so, tranq darts, disarm, chimera, mending

#

pick your poison

#

survival instincts has to stay

fickle forge
#

You don't need mending into anything but assassa or feral

wheat jay
#

yes

fickle forge
#

Maybe arms if it clears TR, Idk if it does

wheat jay
#

and assa is meta

fickle forge
#

And then what, you pick mending + tranq/chimera as your 2nd and 3rd

fallen solar
#

@mild thunder do you have 4 set for surv?

wheat jay
#

no

fallen solar

Because it pumps

#

My god

urban skiff
wheat jay
#

you pick mending, chimera, survi instincts

survival instincts is 100% pick

never swapping off of it

fickle forge
#

Drop chimera for diamond ice

#

You're welcome

wheat jay
#

into monk it means i can't cc

#

harder cc into disc

mild thunder
#

it’s okay tho

wheat jay
#

chimera is 90% pickrate basically

mild thunder
#

i don’t think 4pc saves the spec

#

but it’s a nice boost

fallen solar
#

Yeah the damage is pretty intense

wheat jay
#

@fickle forge WHAT ELSE CAN I DROP!?

#

because everything else has either equal or more value

#

so i can't pick diamond ice for pure damage

mild thunder
#

less than most specs

#

has super cringe positional requirements

fickle forge
mild thunder
#

it’s just a channel you cancel immediately

wheat jay
#

chimera is there for cc

mild thunder
#

kinda lame

wheat jay
#

i need my cc to land

#

to do damage

#

at all

#

i can drop it into resto druid

#

but then its default tranq darts

mild thunder
#

diamond ice is so cringe ngl

#

such a beta talent

wheat jay
#

it was fine, without fucking explosive shot

#

that's your main dmg

#

and when mongoose did damage

mild thunder
#

make explosive a 3-6sec dot

#

single-target

#

bring back flayed shot

#

delete bombs

wheat jay
#

remove explosive, replace with flayed

mild thunder
#

ngl idc what they do

wheat jay
#

keep bombs

mild thunder
#

just do something

wheat jay
#

but make them do more damage

#

thats instant

#

not dot

mild thunder
#

make the effects actually matter

only way to make it worse would be replace the ret with a uhdk
