#

thus zug

#

watch Conan the barbarian and take tips on how to be a badass; go in with that mentality

#

maybe some john wick movies

sour crag
#

How am I suppose to not overthink when I am surrounded by so many variables to mind of to even operate as a damage dealer?

rancid granite
#

you dont see them asking for tips or overthinking

#

they just zug

#

and stop making excuses

#

'dont do this' 'but but but but but....'

fierce elm
rancid granite
#

no variables; just do dmg

#

and yeah how does one learn anything in life

sour crag
#

I spam Rampage as often as possible. Hell, I even have a big fucking weakaura icon splashing on my screen yelling me to press it, just so I don't keep forgetting it. Still I feel like I am hitting nothing. And even if I do get close, I get stunned to all hell and it never becomes enough by the time I recover.

rancid granite
#

excuses

sour crag
#

Even the frikking warlocks get full health by the time I get 2 sec stun

#

No really

#

how

rancid granite
#

they have tools to stop you, you have tools to get to them and stop them

#

hit cc, hit charge

#

boom done

sterile moth
#

Fury can do good damage when not CC’d but generally you climb by being a closer—big execute and kills in bladestorm

rancid granite
#

like afro said 'i cant x or y' is a woe is me attitude

#

remember the little engine that could, bro?

#

'i think i can i think i can'

#

just use what tools you got

#

if they try to run, slow them, if they are far, charge, if you have cc up, cc

sour crag
#

Well, at least I got a saddle for my trouble.

rancid granite
#

fix the mind set shouldn't be any trouble at all it should be fun and you should be learning from every match

sterile moth
#

For sure…take your lumps, keep an open mind and stop focusing on what you can’t do. Every session you focus on implementing one small thing that’s been lacking

#

Are you a MFing warrior or a mouse?!

sour crag
#

I got wasted by a DH

#

...

rancid granite
#

as a wise woman once said

#

shake it off, shake it off

sour crag
#

I got away with another draw

wheat jay
#

why are you doing 382k dps????

sour crag
#

Good question. Stunlocked and never getting into melee range, then I got nuked by the BM and eyebeam

rancid granite
#

why aren't you in melee range vs a dh or rogue

sour crag
#

I walked. Basically.

#

I was that slow.

rancid granite
#

you have a slow and 4 gap closers and ~3 root breaks

#

and a trinket

sour crag
#

4 gap closers?

wheat jay
#

i guess he meant 3

#

charge charge leap

sharp meteor
#

am i seein two dps under a healer

wheat jay
#

looks like it

#

and one is fury warr O_O

sharp meteor
#

brutal

sour crag
#

I don't know what to tell you guys. I got destroyed, simple as. Lots to be said retrospectively, I'm sure. Not proud of it, certainly.

#

You guys dont want me to keep saying excuses so

That’s a thane spear big dam lobby

#

oh right

#

#

dude i played some dh 2s today

#

and fucking hell its torment XD

sour crag
#

I just got 2s with a retri and fury and I had a restrodruid.

#

yeah I think I'm not gonna pick restrodruid anymore

Save your stuns for eye beam and burst them

boreal veldt
#

only time i had this kind of lobby was when demolish softlocked my game

rancid granite
#

that was my dps when i went zero haste colossus

torn sigil
#

I tried Mastery arms a few times feels odd but there's something there

rancid granite
#

its all about s2 can keep haste baseline like 15-20% and just full pump the mast/crit

torn sigil
#

Honestly sick of haste stack it's so cringe

rancid granite
#

agree

boreal veldt
#

gonna cook even more NATO violation builds in s2 and run blademaster's torment and just send fervor cleaves into melee comps

frank knoll

Haste is a target dummy stat

i hope arms good next season

On the upside, I've not lost ratings so far since.

And they say BT is bad kek

torn sigil
fickle forge
#

Meanwhile, this is what I hit for

wheat jay
fickle forge
#

They could lowkey buff Execute by 50% for arms and it'd still not be broken

green wharf
#

we have to increase all paladin damage by 5%

#

because they nerfed an aoe or some shit

fickle forge
#

I mean it's crazy to me my unbuffed MS hits like 50% harder than what my Exe would have

#

Complete troll button to press

torn sigil
#

Exe hits hard 1/1000 clicks and the dopamine rush from big Ms into big exe cannot be overcome I'm sorry

exotic forge
#

MS has always been that big hitting ability anyways

wheat jay
#

Arms used to be the big hitting spec

exotic forge
#

When things get hard, you get harder

hot solstice
#

Check war buffs on ptr

#

I wonder if 20% mortal buff goes on top of previous 15 or instead

slow solstice
#

prob prev

#

only way to test is hit the dummy

exotic forge
#

Execute 10%

#

wheeze

prot is the shit on blitz

rancid granite

either spin node or defendo fc

rancid granite

and grats

#

:D

green wharf
#

i was getting 40-50m as prot

sharp meteor
#

just had an insta one

green wharf
#

EU?

frank knoll
#

I don’t see how Prot is fun

#

I just die to S priest and Aff dots

rancid granite
#

sword&board alone is fun

sharp meteor
#

Wait. They did buff execute by 10% albeit on ptr. LETSGOOO

rancid granite
#

cool factor +10

green wharf
#

should not be right

frank knoll
#

Naw like BG team fight

#

1v1 I stay on top of them the whole time not matter what spec and they die unless they’re way better than me

green wharf
#

you die or they die

#

btw, blizz said they want to slow down prot gameplay cause AMP and the playstyle being to spammy would be a problem to some players

#

fury better wacht out

sharp meteor
#

which is fun but ic an see why they'd adjust it a bit

green wharf
#

blizz put two damn Mw in the same team ina flag bg

#

fucking fuck

loud goblet
#

what neck piece should i go for as a arms war

exotic forge
#

Haste/vers

loud goblet
#

so im looking at best comps for 2v2 for arms and it saids reto shammy, resto druid and voker, which 1 should i go for?

patent forum
#

They’re all fine

loud goblet
#

so i saw the top person using crafted then i saw another guy up there using the achievment 1, which 1 should i use?

torn sigil
#

if youre talking about weapon crafted one

#

symbiosis lets you take some lower vers items but majority of ppl take ascendance im pretty sure

torn sigil
loud goblet
#

so what do i go for achievment or crafted weapon

#

i know what emb to put on crafted

#

just dont know if thats the best choice

sharp meteor

they're both fine okayge

ascension + banding or double gem both aight

Just how bad is vengeance dh in pvp, that there's zero DHs in solo shuffle on the murlokio list?

urban skiff
#

I kind of want to play one

#

still levelling, but what should i be doing in bgs?

fierce elm
urban skiff
fierce elm
#

because nobody knows how to play the game

sharp meteor

so u just kind of rotate around and spin/cap or run flag

#

u cant rly kill people

#

and u cant facetank as much as other tanks

fierce elm

absolutely dogshit as soon as people develop a brain cell that knows how to counter dh lmao

sharp meteor
fierce elm
#

ah fuck

sharp meteor
#

which is like breaking ur hands then pressing q

fierce elm
#

Now I look DUMB!

#

maybe I had the missing brain cell

urban skiff

I don't know how you can play DH into shaman and not literally yeet yourself off the edge of the arena or bg map

my favorite matchup is still assa into destro

Someone know if vicious bloodstones become outdated in S2? or do we need to use them again so i can buy some of them to resell them higher in s2?

urban skiff
urban skiff
#

I think there's a lot of people doing the same thing and you might be able to turn a profit.

north thicket
#

Hey, what was the thing with these cancelled buffs and why did we get shafted again? Missing the storyline.

leaden sail
#

yeah, dont get me wrong, i dont wanna spend my 3 mio in that, but just safe my honor and maybe buy some

urban skiff
#

But more likely you'll have to hold the majority way into s2 and drizzle them off whenever the price shoots up

#

I spend 800k on some at 2k - 2.5k so I'm gucci as long as the price goes over 3k

leaden sail
#

last time i did something like this was in DF s1 to s2, bought some gems for like 18k and they dropped to 9k

fickle forge
#

Ridiculous

fierce elm
#

2k gold each

exotic forge
#

What a fuckin meme

green wharf
fierce elm
#

they stopped buffing everything so no worries

green wharf
fierce elm
#

They reverted it yes

north thicket
#

And there is also the point of scaling in s2.
Realistically we are to be capped in Versa (pvp) and Mastery (pve/pvp), Haste usually diminishes in value roughly after 20% (once you manage to fit in a full additional global in Reck or CS for arms).
What's left is Critical strike and fury doesn't scale well with it, only Slayer gets some decent value out of it.

#

I am talking out of my ass here, but the point stays

hot solstice
frank knoll
#

They buffed BM btw

frank knoll
fickle forge
fierce elm
#

Raid DPS is direct to pvp dps

fierce elm
#

thats why BM is the worst spec in the game

fickle forge
fierce elm
#

its direct

torn sigil
fierce elm
#

vicius bloodstones are the same for next season

#

Or at least thats the rumor

frank knoll
#

I heard the opposite

torn sigil
#

thhought so its the socket thats seasonal

fierce elm
#

so who knows at this point

frank knoll
#

I just sold mine

green wharf
#

in the ptr

fierce elm
#

Everyone is basing it around that the pvp recipes don't have to be farmed again

green wharf
#

they still use vicious blodstones

#

unless they change overnight it should still be the same

fierce elm
#

you should have 15k honor stockpiled for the next season

#

however

#

at least for the season start

#

preferably more

#

on more characters

green wharf
#

doesnt honor get reset every season

#

and they turn into gold or smth

fierce elm
#

nope

#

Between expansions

frank knoll
#

Conquest resets
Honor doesn’t

#

Not sure about bloody tokens

green wharf
#

well ive being buying blood tokens weapons and selling then for a while

fierce elm
#

bloody tokens get reset too

green wharf
#

last night i got 10k out of it

fierce elm
#

We keep honor across the season

north thicket
frank knoll
#

Hammer of light buffed too wtf

#

Big looney toons hammer already hits for like 1/3 of ur hp

fierce elm
#

You mean those that got nerfed?

#

Yeah those

frank knoll
#

The little ones did

fierce elm
#

Yes

north thicket
#

The major one got buffed

fierce elm
#

They are shifting damage from the lil hammers onto rets entire kit

green wharf
#

paladin main detected

north thicket
#

The little ones were more or less cleave dmg

#

Or?

fierce elm
#

The little ones was also pretty pad-heavy when it came to most matchups

frank knoll
#

Initial hit hits for more cause it benefits from FR

fierce elm
#

Since you cant control them whatsoever

#

So yeah, they are shifting damage from that towards paladins kit instead

#

Which is completely fine

north thicket
#

Isn't ret single target burst already high enough in pvp

fierce elm
#

Considering they arent looking at current numbers

#

and current numbers are somewhat useless

#

for next seasons tuning

#

Ret was also lacking single target

#

which this is a somewhat buff or in terms of PvE

frank knoll
#

I’m more annoyed about BM buffs

fierce elm
#

Which they need, for PvE

frank knoll
#

Coming from a hunter main

fierce elm
#

However, yall looking at this season

frank knoll
#

BM isn’t even fun to play if youre winning
Same way I feel about playing DH when its good
I don’t like running people over cause my spec is over tuned

north thicket
#

Fury also needs the buffs from the perspective of the next season but they got cancelled

frank knoll
#

Buff arms

north thicket
#

^Arms buffs Oo

fierce elm
#

and yall most likely dont have a check for how the testing is looking

exotic forge

Every day we stray further away from the Arms dream rework

But thank god we arent the ones to judge

i will be announcing my response to afro reaction at 12 gmt 2 weeks time

Afro is just fine cuz paladins, are getting buffed clueless

torn sigil

why

guys do u take Opportunist or Fierce Followthrough

which one

seems 90% take opportunis but i like fierce followthrough sometimes

exotic forge
torn sigil

if im not takes the bladestorm one

#

i go followthrough

north thicket

Afro is right and we should wait for release but flabbergasting about possible changes is fun esp when not much else to do rn :)))

exotic forge
#

I mean if you're playtesting it you should react but on the testing forums

north thicket
#

Also, we shouldn't miss an opportunity to sabotage any Mage, Ret, Rogue and Hunter buffs

green wharf

basically this

In the same way I top 5M Execute in PvE but only 1.1M in PvP

with the exception of the yellow

Blue also practically doesn't exist in nature so that's a big limit

rancid granite
#

true

#

i know like purple was rare and from like snails and stuff

#

didnt think of blue

urban skiff
#

It's because blue pigment doesn't actually exist in nature

fierce elm

Blue doesnt exist

#

yeah

#

Its a wild color

urban skiff

#

like wild

#

Yeah we do

#

Its all different shades of purple in nature but we named them stupid stuff

#

such as blueberries

urban skiff
#

What's blowing my mind is realizing that there's no purple in the rainbow, but we're seeing purple because the very edge of red mixes with ultra violet and the very edge of blue mixdes with infra red.

#

The distance between the two rainbows in a double rainbow covers the invisible light spectrum. It's all the colours we can't see.

#

Purple isn't real

Is mountain thane or slayer better for fury?

Green things absorb all the light that isn't green.

Blue butterfly wings are blue because light passes through a series of translucent layers that so happens to reflect blue light

what i meant to say is regardless, colours is just what we perceive in thw wavelight anyway

chilly pivot
#

its someone use "TAUNT" before like polly or something?

#

just wondering if TAUNT can be useful in pvp somehow

urban skiff
#

it's off the gcd so it can always put rogues and others in combat without hurting your rotation

#

you can put it in twin castsequence macros

#

This creates a "hole" in one castsequence while preserving the order in the other:

#showtooltip
/castsequnce reset=10 power1,taunt,power4
/castsequnce reset=10 power2,power3,power5

#

So they still progress in pairs.

#

You can taunt pets off of their target so the pet might be out of range of stun target

chilly pivot
#

i dont understand

urban skiff
#

taunt them into attacking poly if lucky

chilly pivot
#

so basacly just taunt pets off cd

urban skiff
# chilly pivot i dont understand

above macro will cast power1 and power2 simultaneously. It will cast power3 "alone" (it's still casting taunt), and then cast power4 and power5 simultaneously

chilly pivot
#

how can a pet taunt macro looks like

urban skiff
#

showtooltip Bloodthirst ( or Mortal Strike )
/cast Bloodthirst ( or Mortal Strike )
/cast [@arenapet1] Taunt
/cast [@arenapet2] Taunt
/cast [@arenapet3] Taunt

chilly pivot

or should i wait for something

urban skiff
#

I have a separate bind for taunt

chilly pivot
#

its only me or is execute total garbage in thane build?

urban skiff
#

huh

#

why does it matter?

#

The whole point of stuff being balanced is that you take big dam out of one ability and put it into another

chilly pivot
#

i can spam all other abilitys and they do more dmg then execute

chilly pivot
#

i dont need it in the rotation ,dont have space for it

green wharf
#

thane get extra damage execute

urban skiff
green wharf
#

but you only rly press with sudden death

urban skiff
#

remember execute is two damage instances, not one. So if you press execute and see 666k, then you did 1m damage because the other hit is 333k

green wharf
#

and if you dont have rampage on

urban skiff
#

If you jsut look at details after and check the biggest hit you aren't doing it right

bronze flare
#

does racial really matter in pvp? i would rather be a blood elf than orc for cosmetic and lore reasons, and wasnt sure sure if the orc racial was a make or break for fury/arms warrior in pvp?

urban skiff
green wharf
#

+25% damage on execute

urban skiff
#

the closer you are to capping out on what the class can do, the more racials matter

green wharf
#

and execute trigger lightinning strikes, so you def want to press it

green wharf
bronze flare

i have heard its less than .1% change between blood elf and orc, and that arcial only really matters in like the top 3-5% of all pvp warriors

# rancid granite i mean whatever vikings would wear right, so flashy and pretty?

Why would vikings/Danes be the proper role model for warriors? More like pirates but I do have a ton of respect for them and their history/origins/mythology! @urban skiff

There was a tribe which name literally translates to warriors "sons of Ares (Mars)" .
Their Berserkering had existed way before vikings' time, it is written in the Anicent Greek and Roman archives!

urban skiff
rancid granite
#

there is endless reasons why vikings would be a proper warrior

urban skiff
#

notice the nordic theme for odyn etc

rancid granite
#

but there can be multiple

green wharf
#

but how can the vikings/danes name themselves sons of a greek god

north thicket
green wharf
#

ah

#

but afaik, it was msotly the spartans who had the ares thing going on

#

then romans with mars, overtaking athena worship

In Greek mythology, Thrax (Ancient Greek: Θρᾷξ; by his name simply the quintessential Thracian) was regarded as one of the reputed sons of Ares. In the Alcestis, Euripides mentions that one of the names of Ares himself was Thrax since he was regarded as the patron of Thrace (his golden or gilded shield was kept in his temple at Bistonia in Thrac...

The Thracians (; Ancient Greek: Θρᾷκες, romanized: Thrāikes; Latin: Thraci) were an Indo-European speaking people who inhabited large parts of Southeast Europe in ancient history. Thracians resided mainly in Southeast Europe in modern-day Bulgaria, Romania, North Macedonia, northern Greece and European Turkey, but also in north-western Anatolia ...

from what i understand, the dude was a son of ares not that his name meant"son of ares", so the name of the people were most likely derived from the dude

north thicket
#

By the way, because some of us are Europeans and it's good to know our origins

#

Europe (Greek origin) originally was the name for Thrace, and then it spanned as a term for the whole continent

Besides the mythological figure of Europa

tbh been thinking about picking up a 2nd job as remote US whatever

#

PM work seems really really easy in the US

#

Can confirm, I'm a complete moron

#

wait, project or product?

#

I'm in project

spice hornet
#

Project

urban skiff
#

yeah still true

violet fossil
#

Ah carry on then

urban skiff
#

PM'ing is 20% spreadsheets and 80% either asking people if something is done or telling other people when something will be done

#

apparently having the emotional intelligence to make people want to complete stuff in time for you is a mythical super power

spice hornet
#

It will be hard to get a fully remote role on the US rn. Tech companies are laying off like crazy, hiring is slow.

Also some big tech is returning 5 day RTO, with many others that just blindly follow. At best lots of hybrid but the remote roles are rare

urban skiff
spice hornet
#

Remote ^

urban skiff
#

and since I have a primary job (and am european) I don't need health insurance or other benefits

spice hornet
#

Probably could find some start up

I'm 20% remote in theory but I also have 100% control of where and how i spend my time

spice hornet

But start ups are usually grind shops

Project Management seems like a prime candidate for an obsolete profession in the next 2-5y... Or?

#

What's the added value here

urban skiff
urban skiff
#

it's almost entirely about getting people to do stuff while having zero authority over them

#

Or dealing with unknown shit and finding solutions that don't fit in neat little boxes

#

Like finding a taxi driver willing to drive across the country to pick up a specific component at 3 in the morning because you need it on location and it's cheaper to pay a taxi driver 4+ hours than it is to have your team stop working

north thicket
#

Hmmm... makes sense but in my experience project managers are a disposable expense

#

Where is the motivation of a skilled value-additive worker to share his pay with a project manager in order to listen to motivational speeches or whatever

#

Been there, done that

#

Sorry not anymore

urban skiff

PMs are like IT. When everything is going well you wonder why you pay them

Its going well because of them.

urban skiff

Like my welder wants to use a different method, asks me if he can and how it should be done. I find out and tell him. He's happy because he's now increased his money per hour. I'm happy because work is done faster.

north thicket
#

Maybe you are right

urban skiff
#

Or I chew out his boss because they tried to tell him to with with chemicals without having the certificates.

#

AI could do one, of those, maybe. If unless it's one of the days where it spazzes out and tells you to add lead to your breakfast eggs to sweeten it

north thicket
#

You are right, AI would never be able to steer human relationships and solve any frictions at work

urban skiff
#

I'm not going to pretend that I'm the greatest gift or that PMs are great

#

but it's going to be hard to replace us

#

since we're the buffer between the work and management.

I feel like DH is fundamentally better than Fury
Fury is just over tuned and hits like a freight train

wheat jay
#

Huh

#

In what aspect is dh better

#

Except for having one more cc

#

And ye, fury is good because its overtuned rn

#

And noobs still csnt break 400k dps...

fickle forge
#

We back?

frank knoll
#

Well
The same if not better mobility
Root break, two if you spec into it reverse magic
Two immunities and ur defensive isn’t gimped if you get disarmed
Better self healing

wheat jay

Am I missing something

frank knoll

Doesn’t vengeful retreat break roots

wheat jay

No

#

Its unusable when rooted

frank knoll

wtf

#

When did they change that

wheat jay
#

Its been that way at least since dragonflight

Most likely since shadowlands since I dont remember one ever escaping steel trap

wheat jay

Worse dmg profile

Self healing similar to warrior

The skill check of DH is not dying in a stun

frank knoll

I’ve Meta immuned HOJs and shit before when I played it a lot during SL

dense herald

its good this season

wheat jay

Bruh

dense herald

Its not

dense herald

its not the best but its not bad

frank knoll

It’s bad in 3s
Therefore people think it’s bad everywhere

fickle forge
dense herald
#

iidk they do good dmg

#

n have blur which i hate

wheat jay
#

Easiest dmg profile to shut down lol

#

Blur is 20% wall and iirc you cant dodge when stunned

frank knoll
#

Meanwhile in Blitz DH is winning 5v1s and melting anything it’s touches

fickle forge
#

DH has like 0 rep cause it's ass

wheat jay

Cuz blitz is full of idiots all the way to 3k+

So noone even stuns a dh lmao

dense herald

Assas rogue and frost mage gatekeeps DH in Arena and shuffle

It's pretty smooth brain to call a spec broken cause it does good into your spec

You see sigil and you insta stun

in df i once tried my luck with 50/50 mortal strike cuz dh had blur and i deleted him

fickle forge

🤷‍♂️

All dem DHs Q'ing shuffle

frank knoll

I basically go DH in shuffle and kill them in a smoke bomb every time

wheat jay
#

Ye cuz it's the squishest class in the game

fickle forge
wheat jay
#

Zero dmg reduction passives, zero bonus hp bonuses

dense herald
frank knoll
#

Does it not still have the 20% magic reduction passive

wheat jay
#

Oh wait there's one 5% magic dmg reduction iirc

fickle forge
#

DH is still the least killed dps spec in the game

dense herald
#

does it still not do insane self healing

fickle forge
#

It just gets raw dogged in stuns

frank knoll
#

It does insane self healing
Better even if you spec into Reaver cause you get more absorb shields too

Perma passive D stance with no downside vs everything except warrior and hunter

wheat jay

And rogue

fickle forge
wheat jay
fickle forge
#

And DH is sitting on 26.9% fb rate in 2.1k+ shuffle

#

That's the lowest of all dps specs in the game

wheat jay
#

Cuz it's easier to just shut it down lol

frank knoll
wheat jay
#

It has 0 ways of dealing with cc, dmg is super easy to stop too

fickle forge

Cause DH isn't squishy at all bro

But it gets farmed by shit like WW, rogue, arms etc.

have mercy

fickle forge

I call out cap man

frank knoll

DH base kit is better than fury
We can all agree when DH is overtuned the way fury is now it’s just the best melee in the game

fickle forge
#

Yeah we can

#

But it's also a dumb comparison

wheat jay
#

Mmmm

fickle forge
#

Because fury is the best melee right now while it's overtuned

wheat jay
#

I'd disagree

rancid granite
#

say overtuned one more time

wheat jay
#

Dh rn is too easy to shut down

#

It can do same dps on st as fury

fickle forge
wheat jay
#

If dh stayed the same as it was in df it'd be op as fuck now

#

But with how it works now, its the easiest spec to shut down

#

You only need a stun on eye beam when there's sigil of flames

fickle forge
#

Brother the damage profile in DF was bps

#

Burst per second

#

Aka overtuned

wheat jay
#

Dude

#

Are you even reading my messages?

fickle forge
#

Yes, it's all tuning bro

wheat jay
#

IT IS EASY TO SHUT DOWN NOW

fickle forge
#

If they buffed up The Hunt tomorrow, you suddenly sit with a new damage profile

wheat jay
#

IF IT WAS THE SAME AS IN DF IT'D BE OP

frank knoll
#

If both Fury and DH were overtuned equally rn
DH would be better

wheat jay
#

No lol

wheat jay
#

Fury is op cuz its overtuned and you cant stop the dmg

fickle forge
#

I've yet to lose to DH this season, it's just undertuned af

wheat jay
#

Ez

fickle forge
frank knoll
#

Yeah Fury just W keys
It’s impossible to make a mistake
We had a guy on here who was 2400 and didn’t even know when to use Dstance
Try that in SL or DF as fury lol

wheat jay
#

Id blur and still die cuz its rng and dh is squsihy lol

wheat jay
#

And later on as fury

frank knoll
#

I’ve been playing Assas lately
I go out of my way to kill DH lol

fickle forge
#

That's been the case since always though

wheat jay
#

Lmao

frank knoll
#

But I might main DH next season idk

fickle forge
#

S-tier specs can make fundamental mistakes and still win

#

Same way you can trap dps on CD as BM and easily get 2.4k

#

You could probably unbind trap on BM and get 2.4k

#

Blizzard doesn't realise that nerfing trap for BM is just going to make it even easier to play

#

BM hunters are just gonna be trapping dps and then hit scatter on healers

frank knoll
#

I didn’t even know about diamond ice until I was unsubbed lol

fickle forge
#

Yeah it's just the way WoW is

#

If you're S tier, you can get away with whatever

Rotating these^ since beam lower cd

fickle forge
#

I swap them in stuns

#

I don't give too much of a damn about DH CDs cause they're pretty weak

north thicket
#

Hmmm so ignore eye beam, try to cleave dh and pick up a moment when half hp cc healer and kill the thing is a stun?

fickle forge
#

Idk what spec you're playing

#

But as arms, DH is the freest elo

#

Colossus especially

wheat jay
#

Colossus +ms and dh is 20% hp lol

north thicket
#

Fury both, gave up on Arms Col

fickle forge
#

I mean yeah as fury you can pretty much do the same

#

Build 5 stacks of SS and then just turn the DH in a stun

#

This is what I hit on Artji on his DH

north thicket
#

Wow, now that you are mentioning I don't specifically track SS strikes but send Rampage when available

fickle forge
#

You should do that too

#

But if you wanna swap, it's good to do

north thicket
#

Got it

fickle forge
#

The leather classes can be pumped pretty hard by warr in a stun

#

Cause they usually don't sit on any passive defensives

north thicket
#

Yes, indeed. I think I am making the mistake of bolting healer on cd which somewhat aligns with reck cuz of am

#

Not stunning the kill target often enough

fickle forge
#

You should always have for both on warr with shockwave

north thicket
#

Shockwave sucks unless w Colossus' Boneshaker? Maybe I am just biased tho

#

2sec feels like pseudo-interrupt rather than kill potental

fickle forge
#

Yeah well you're playing warrior though

If you can connect and do damage, you'll probably win

That supports my point. Blizz saying high end 3s isn't comparable to other pvp forms
