enraged regen should just be reworked to heal 5% max health per second for the duration of it
yeah that's also rough
Fury ms is shitty too
not very consistent yeah
with the tier set it's actually pretty easy to keep applied and keep stacked at 40% though
indeed
So maybe op on CD doable
tier set is crack for fury
for arms it's just QOL and helps smooth out the rotation a bit
yup but not like fury where it's actually fun
Agree
Also if i get all haste gear i can pve on my pvp warri

Might try get a NW Ring
And Versa haste conq Ring
My random guess
Assa tier is filthy
Arms before 4p though?
2 piece is kinda shit
Ret is enabled by war
Outlaw B 
So we will see now
I'm keeping fury C until something else is proven tbh
Feel like history keeps repeating that fury gets buffed somehow, but is still bad
fury is gonna get slam dunked by rets
otherwise fury kinda claps casters
better than arms for sure
def stance -10%/-20% Omagad
They are just determined to make d stance pointless. ๐
All talents in tier 4 pointless now. Its kinda joke
Yes, just checked
That's the dumbest shit.
TBH i prefer -20input/-40 output just to get extra def against casters
but -10/-20 is totally garbage
I mean I was getting 1-shot through d-stance if I fucked up as it was.
A nerf nobody needed or asked for. ๐
It was destined to happen
Just on a side note, did HP get increased or something? I'm sitting at 62k base now and I've no idea why.
Ah. I missed that.
Besides, all you can do now is rely on stronger offense and avoiding dmg better
We'll stay all versa though, right?
Gonna need to without d-stance ๐
No one said that, d-stance might be though.
The other options arent better
You're way too invested in what was just an off-handed remark.
tell this retri's wings proc
kekw
its like - double legendary Expectation = Kiryan+BS ZAG ZAG // Reallity = spear for def + 3 leaps
pepeHands
3 leaps sounds hillarious
Is it me or execute feels stronger?
if it is, only slightly due to the trinket bonus being slightly overtuned relative to the gear we have
next reset
xd
How does that make sense when performing in the gym makes you perform better in the game?
performing in the fridge helps you perform in game
I mean you're not wrong. Can't play if you starve to death.
Imagine being into swinging as fast as possible like an anime protagonist
This is where the joy is at
๐
time for prot warrior
Can we ban this man?
Harsh
Tanks ๐ ๐ช
They counter DHs well too
anyone noticed a difference with nerf to D Stance
10% is hard to not notice
you guys think it's tier piece > weapon in vault first few weeks?
since apparently we can't craft them until week 8 and can only do 1/week at that point
no
Sadge
its big thing was d stance
fury gameplay now
phantasma lure
ok
Just kinda wild how arms goes from s tier to dogshit just because of d stance?
Like was our damage just never good to begin with
arms has
Where warrior are looking to be gods
avatar + warbreaker is a lot less compared to a combusting mage
but warrior isnt built around burst outside of execute
ur burst is just ur normal rotation doing a lot of dmg always
Bruh combusting mage is like one of the higghest burst in the game
you can burst with warbringer, sudden death proc, and sharpen
Just cuz we dont have combust burst doesnt mean we dont have burst hahaha
The fact that there were people that got glad with fury last season
Should show you u dont have to reroll @cold totem
Arms is still S tier
you people forget we still have ignore pain and lose 0 damage from using it off cd
yeah but dont do that
literallly
xdd
big brain strats
its not arms has no burst
pretty sure mud has a montage of him one shotting people
just its not a burst class?
u dont play arms for haha cooldowns go brr enemy go not brr
u go arms to unga bunga do big dps
But you do
I pop cds and I two shot. God help them if I crit
Is that not burst? Lmao
this man is a troll
hmmm
Since when ?
I know U like fury but stop saying shit
bro
have you seen
arms pressure compared to fury pressure
they got a BIG burst window
ill admit that
aside from that
hey ndogo is a 2400 2s fury warrior
he knows what he's talking about
idk about arms very well
just fury
i just know
i outdmg them
each and every time
k so donโt talk about arms
fury have 2 swords
If you donโt know it
fair enough
^
Simple
@elfin surge u will try fury btw ?
@mystic barn
๐ ty
that made my day
๐
anybody here think demo gonna get their necro lego nerfed
they hitting 80k bolts on ptr
and thats like avg health pool
why is battle trance bugged
rofl razon
when u go reckless abandon and pop reck, ur raging blow turns into crushing blow so u cant proc battle trance
dogshit game tbh
haha
Only thing about fury, is its literally a glass cannon
Their defensives are like the shittiest in the game
what defensives
lol
Don't die. Easy
Kill them before thay kill you. There's a tip that says that in the loading screens. Literally that easy.
yeah
yeah every arena is that easy
That helps too
yeah it does help
optional
rdruid/war is a toxic duo
druid/war *
druid
arms?
cat durid
kitty cleave is for chad gamers
kyrian arms + nbecro retri?

prot necro + necro retri
....
prot can keep close to 100% uptime on banner
resto druid + prot pally
I asked about Arms + Ret
ret could go necro?
but if they go hard on you, and burn through bop / your parry
you gonna be big dead fast with d stance nerf
ill have that in mind
But best convenant for our comp Kyrian War + Necro Ret or
both necro
Both Necro
Both night fae, you heard it here first
100k per target AoE AA
Would be cool at least

RIP AA
so are we supposed to actually farm the rep so we can make enduring on waist and tier piece on helm with unity on diff slot?
Necro prot warr/Necro prot pall chonky ret/warr lol
Big bois
im still wondering what adddon keeps disabling my floating combat damage text
With Elysian Might coming on belt, ig there's no reason not to keep Enduring Blows on head?
no no no
because tier piece on head is 1 of 2 verse pieces
gonna be all fucked up!
I thought we could put tier things on pvp gear
If it helps the 2 piece pvp trinket bonus got changed
Bruh
So that means my unholy dk might have crit gear? Lol
probably
(:
played some 2800+ games
not gonna lie its disgusting
jungle and rm just destroyed me
with our shitty def stance
very very disgusted
Hopefully the meta will change once everyone gets their tiersets and leggos.
primary and secondary stat scaling will change stuff too
as expected pepeHands
tbh more intresting - rouge can kill you 1v1 w/o retala? like in duel
*duel (rouge pvp talent) * fixed
Is this the season when warrior starts to look at his hp and kite?
yes, unless prot
gl to kite rm and jungle
jungle. === gg
i guess we r waiting for 10/10 def stance and playing full time kekw
10/20 just dump af pepega
prot
It's Fury's season now.
fury can last vs jungle?
pray to burst them down?
no
someone said you can for 40K on prot. Prot will be king ๐
guys now that d stance got nerfed it forced me to become a better warrior and a player overall Iโm so happy it got nerfed my macro and micro gaming improved a lot
btw RM in 2v2 as warrior such a joke now
you mean harder?
sure
my bet is heal instead of stun in tier 2 kekw
no shot
2s 
sorry hasnt been following, but now dstance mitigates 10% and reduces own damage by 20?
ya
Correct.
as someone who barely plays pvp it should be like 10/10
or 10/15 if arms was that op
It's everyone else that's supposed to kite the warrior
Welcome to new world
Jailer remade the world
dead game
This isn't new world
As he intended
This is BFA
We literally did Heroic Flees in BFA all the time cause of our shitty defensives
Kekw
Yep
so aside from all the shit warr is gonna have what is the best pvp covenant for arms warr now going 9.2
is necro>kyrian or necro=kyrian even with tier sets in equation
depends on comp as always
Kyrian feels fine in 2s idk about 3s
Depends on comp as Articoid said but Kyrian has the juice rn. Elysian Might + a damage or defensive leggo is crazy strong.
because banner was another modifier to warbringer sudden death people with
fury is historically the most unga bunga hit whatever lights up spec that exists
and was the og havoc
it's just hard because you die
wow
you actually have to run away
xd
pov 1800 meleecleave players
complaining about tanking caster triangle cds
not amazing, you're still decently tanky if you're allowed to get a lot of ignore pains off, you take a lot more damage this patch versus the last one so expect to be forced into d-stance easier and not allowed out of it frequently
jungles should eat warriors alive though
like zero chance
They should make kyriab phial reset in combat 1.5 min cd
So we can atleast remove feral bleeds lol
that'd be quite nice
sub being the only thing that really gets resets is funny
bleed them up and they just rip it off
Happened to me tonight
Was disgusting
Like really
Joeferandes talking on stream about playing prot warrior this season lmao
Yeah he was talking with something like ww that can one shot somebody. But god that sounds toxic.
how so
Prot can keep almost perma banner uptime
So you just be a banner bot for your necro ret
thunderclap root plus chains and their whole team ain't movin
maybe throw in a mw owo
Dk would help vs caster teams lol
Dk feels strong with the buffs lol
hm they might be in an odd spot with health changes as ds got buffed and if ww/arms no longer 2-hit them they could start terrorizing everybody
although hunter still probably eats their face
Prot pal, Prot Warrior, Blood DK. "Just leave the arena"-cleave
probably last season
Last season but like midway through
They did blood dk, hpala, demo lock
Just kept everyone locked down while demo did their pve rotation lol
Dk had never been 2100 even
is she the kul'tiran that played with the uhh glogan guy
yeah that's who i was thinking of
queued into them also playing with like an arcane mage
i only vaguely remember it was super trap alt night
Lol
Lmao
outlaw prob big funny too
since all the pets will add to evasion cdr
So say Iโm solo queuing for bgs with no pocket heals or doing warmode is arms still king?
warrior is bad in bgs solo
Bleh
Lol
it's just often shitty because u randomly melt to poke
probably!
pretty sure the necro legendary only increases banner uptime for yourself
cringe if true
Jeez that's op af with ret or ww
The elite pvp set looks pretty ugly ngl
it's not pretty but it's unique
i just wish blizzard would get the hell away from just making every tier set this expac just a white/silver version of the regular set
should've been black and red to match the mount and tabard but fuck that i guess
tabard should've been the black one in s1
and they should've used the nathria mythic tints

missed a golden opportunity to have a "black knight" theme for the elite set
youre the one carrying the banner affecting ppl tho???
Yeah, I hope the extension increase affects the buff on allies.
@elder wigeon what's your opinion about arms nerf, is it still good?
Is it still worth to play dstance?
yes you have to still
you straight up get ripped in half if you don't have d stance
it's still pretty rough with d stance but it's your only option
haha
yeah that's the dilemma
you still take warpaint tho on fury
you still gotta take d stance as arms unfortunately
Does this make fury better tho?
I wish they'd just get rid of it entirely and give warriors a passive like second wind again
in relation to arms, definitely
in terms of the meta, nerfing arms does nothing for fury
Ye second wind like in mop
They just took 10% off dstance
it most certainly
is not nothing
each subsequent 10% you take off of a defensive CD, is less impactful than the previous
Like it's aids cuz every class who can heal can 1v1 an arms in arena
whomst've cares about 1v1s
That's a 50% nerf
the difference between 20% and 10% is bigger than 0% and 10%
Everyone if both healers die and you stay alone is a garantee loss
relatively speaking here, 20-10% is a ~15% damage increase to incoming damage
10-0% is ~11%
that's not a useful or realistic scenario though
arms historically loses 1v1 if both heals somehow die at once so that's whatever
Rm kills your healer and you kill mage or rogue both of them can solo you without a sweat
if u wanna 1v2 rm go play feral
nah rogues win the 1v1 vs feral if they're smart
The worst part is they always look like the normal sets lately lol
well yeah because they're taking the modern car paint job approach to it
notice how every car is silver black or white? lmao
i mean it's a tint of the mythic set
it's just that mythic sets aren't that crazy extra special now
it can sometimes just be some particles
extra swirlies etc
yeah, sucks
i think the wod s1 model was super cool where they'd take the raid set, heavily recolor it, then do unique helm/shoulders, sometimes animated
or just the pre-wod one where pvp had its own set and then the elite version was an edgier tint
current way especially when they're 1800 and shared across classes just makes it into like a normal raid mog
pleh
As fury to stay alive do we need to have ignore pain up as much as possible
no
as a matter of fact
you just need to play well
you dont sit through enemy burst
you leap away
los them
burst screws fury
when it comes to ignore pain
Guts your damage to spam it as fury, unlike arms.
you dont use it at all really
You'll still have to use it, though, just a little more carefully.
just use it if you really need it
correct
anybody else liking the new zone?
It's nice. Certainly better than Korthia.
once we get to fly i'm certain it'll be much more tolerable
i don't hate it yet and that's surprising
does anybody have predictions on what the strongest caster is gonna be this patch?
do you think lock or sp will be good?
They fixed somehow the oneshot from lock
Sp wasn't that huge of an issue just kill sf and loss void form
demo ofc
dang
aff for some fucking reason got nerfs this patch
so what spec of lock looking to be the strongest this spec
i thought demo was doing the big bolts but now its nerfed
demo by a sizable margin unless their stuff gets 90% hotfixed
is it 90% hotfixed?
some tier bonuses are gonna be interesting
like which ones?
demo and assa have gotten the most visibility which is why i think they'll probably get some pvp nerfs either before they become available or shortly after people start getting them
i mean that's your entire health pool
yeah
yeah an instant that you have at least two of doing 100%+ of a targets health without externals is a BIT much
i dont think any cast should be hitting harder than chaos bolt tbh
its a bit wierd
its a 2 sec cast that is supposed to truck
why should an insta cast hit more than 3x harder
makes 0 sense
I'm running into this thing where I kill a DPS with a holy priest, and he just spirit forms and rezzes them. Can't kick or combat it. The hell is that?
balance
Elaborate?
It's fucked. ๐
rmp needs more buffs tbh

i for one am thankful that holy rmp is finally getting the buffs it not only deserves but needs
for those occasions where the mage manages to proc caut, seed, their team fails to protect it despite rogue cc, mc, ray
they'll finally have a safety net in the form of a literal rez in arena that can't be stopped
and they'll still tell you that its harder to play a mage than it is to play melee
I'm so salty, I've lost two games to this shit now. What's the talent called?
like are mages actually hard?
seems hard to get kicked compared to any other caster
they've been pretty braindead for a long time
four (4) spell schools
4 schools of magic, 10 second roots, blinks, shifting power, the time wizard healing thing
if poly/frost were same school for interupts, and without shimmer it'd be a different story
they're definitely very good for pvp - but they're not hard
kinda like arms/sub when those 2 specs are performing well - the specs are designed in a way that makes them very good at pvp
like i know i play THE braindead class but im not braindead irl
wut nah - hardest caster would be probably afflock or ele
Mages aren't hard; the only thing remotely difficult about them is using Alter Time.
And that's because it requires a bit of foresight.
like
u auidbly hear the warrior smash the ground and see him jump up
just press the funny button
I mean yeah. That's it. Maybe not even foresight, just awareness.
just on reaction
u see paladin pop wings
button
woyer pops avatar and/or warbreaker
button
legit ret pala is a more difficult caster than mage - because if they get kicked using a heal they cant bubble lol
mors than mage
yeah the bar is more than mage
you can still be a meme with 3 buttons and 2 decisions instead of 2 buttons and no decisions
depends on the rating
like
lower rating for sure ret king of idiots
i know im below average in pvp and in game knowledge
nah that's not what wer'e talking about
but its just kinda ridicilous
avg is like 1400 because most people don't q lel
just talking about mages being super easy compared to other casters/melee
of ppl who play pvp
warrior/sub/ass kinda similar as well
so many tools - easy to get away with making bad choices
but warrior players don't go aroudn telling spriests that warriors harder to play than spriest na mean?
fury only has 1 major defensive cd
(like mages do to melee/others)
I'm just salty that 2h>>>SMF when SMF is much cooler
You know what's legitimately fun right now? Outlaw.
im not a cocksucklin pirate
who doesnt wanna be johnny depp
But seriously, between Float Like a Butterfly and Enduring Brawler; they're seriously hard to kill.
pirates tend to be
Yeah, it's hilarious. XD
yeah i need some rum and a pirate hat before i play outlaw
I happen to have both of those things.
i need a gun before i play outlaw
That sounds amazing.
๐ฆ
ermm expac
it hit like a noodle
RIP
greenskin's better overall
I know, but pocket shotgun.
mm
Outlaws in a good place for damage right now though, either works well. I mean I climbed to 2k today from like 1700.
Doubtless, but every time I pug a healer they're surprised by what outlaw can do.
And the fact that 1 minute into a fight I have 70k HP. XD
outlaw is just rare as hell
I think half of my success is just that most folk don't know how to play against me.
Like everyone knows what to do against my warrior.
And I struggled so hard to hit 2k.
But it's been almost dummy easy on my rogue.
most people havent seen an outlaw since bfa
Those two pvp talents I linked above are also kinda new, so no one is really expecting the 1 minute CD evasion and 100% uptime on feint.
been around all season
For sure, doesn't mean people have played against it much though.
Outlaw being rare as it is.
i mean like, i have seen one (1) outlaw rogue in the past month
Might've been me. XD
dont think you even get achieves in offs eas
Oh. Dang.
or in zereth/korthia
Sub so popular right now.
outlaw's a 2s spec
I think I've played against one outlaw rogue in 2s the whole season across all my characters.
And he did not impress me. ๐
outlaw is excellent with a healer
but as is sub/holy or sub/fire
assa felt something to be desired because the bracket was so fully of hunters
as is any spec
no like outlaw is one of the best 2s dps, or at least was
I've basically had to tell my healers what to expect on outlaw; 'basically I'm like fury but with CC'.
barely ever played sp but i get the feeling it has a lot going on
kinda seems like a chore ngl
there's a lot you could potentially be doing
but just getting damage out isn't that bad
its similar to playing half an affliction warlock imo
yeah its support is what gets me
offheals, being quick with purging and all. i do like that there's a damage incentive to just purging though
nah too much support
aff is more of a dmgbot
and wym quick with purging it's probably your most pressed button
it's your filler
queuing with an rdruid into something like wps is funny because my druids shit is just all instantly gone the entire match
Is venthyr better than Kyrian on pvp for Arms Warrior
i do not think so, no
And necrolord:
probably comparable to kyrian for now, depends on what you're queuing
its ok
it was a lot better up until 9.2
with the 6second cooldown on deathsentence the main draw of increased mobility for venthyr has vanished
venthyr also does less damage with condemn
Oh so they nerfed condemn. ive heard it was pretty nice.
feel like its right behind surv tbh
also funny how alot of sin's bad matchups are good for outlaw
Not directly, but they did nerf armor, which buffed execute, then also buffed execute further.
Death Sentence nerf further hurt the potential viability of Condemn.
also dks feel kinda spooky
rn
@undone ermine btw
killing hunters in the first min
is the funniest shit
The comments
Make me ultra ultra mad
Wanna insult them all
Poor Blizo and us warriors
i mean warr needed a nerf defensively but i really dislike them hitting dstance
Warriors donโt need defensive nerfs in a world where blur and netherwalk exist
meanwhile warlocks still think they need buffs
deathbolt didn't really fit the spec but idk if they needed to nerf it
even demo feels really stupid idk
btw @sharp meteor
when the hunter clearly doesnt know how outlaw works and feigns on a sinister strike


yeah just panic
Fuck em
Pet commands hard
i had a warlock wall so he could cast unkickable
gouge the cast

then he trinks insta
seems not as effective a spec
if you play with a healer that actually can be trained
like pally or priest
outlul btw 
warr into mm is decent
Leap into disengage
if you have a healer who dispels you
on trap
keep sitting full binding traps because healer saves dispel for next expansion

ran into some guy playing nf fury trying to oneshot my healer
he prob wouldnt have died opener if his druid didnt start game out of stealth
which led to grappling hook into sap cuz hook point


doubletime warbringer necro fun in bgs 
yah
I don't know what it'll be in arena, though. Probably Trance, Enduring and Slaughterhouse, then swapping one of the two first ones for Disarm?
1 min parry is ridic, they shouldve nerfed that conduit in pvp instead
or that
Yeah, either of those. Maybe SD rage amount in pvp if they think burst is an issue.
But holy fk dstance aaaaaaaaaaa
smexxin in the thread also saying how this nerf sucks but people just keep hating
Always has been 
time for mld to make the returj
never left : )
y
i mean people are justifiably annoyed with arms being elder god tier for a year
arms isn't generally good into comps like that
and hadn't seen many although it doesn't seem bad
MLD is fuckin hard
I'm glad most locks play with a shadow priest.
Super content just running at them with enduring.
It is what it is dude
Nothing we can do but make the most of the hand we've been dealt
A lot of people in the comments don't seem to get though, that classes are designed differently, with some focusing on strong off-heals and others on strong damage mitigation
@sharp meteor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5OtjV2jCiM game i had vs mld
Nice UI
takes a long ass time to make a UI you're personally happy with
we found some degree of success in hard running from the deathsworn
then bodying the mage
aff feels like bait
Took me a while for the pve one
Pvp one is way harder imo
for sure
Im trying to improve my Shield Reflection, any tips for that?
I'm still not satisfied with mine every time I play there's something I think about tweaking
yeah i need to sit down with team in party to make ui adjustments
there's always something that could be cleaner or tighter
timing is everything with reflect and knowing whether reflecting something is even worth it
usually knowledge, then just a comfortable bind
like if you're on DR for clone and you don't have that much damage now but will in 10 seconds, it's a waste to reflect a clone that would be half DR
Alright
in 10 sec you're prob gonna be off DR completely and you wanna be able to reflect for yourself when you have damage and when they're gonna want to clone you
just as an example
Cool, I didn't know about the DR
there's diminishing returns on CC
and a timer of when it resets back to full effectiveness
I didn't know your DR affected theirs if u use SR
i run into shadow priests with reflect up and more often than not reflect their first set of dots
yes it does
I'm taking notes on this
but yeah for cc and stuff try to get max value, like bladestorm as cc is hitting you so you're on dr but also immune it
so like if my rdruid clones a feral and the feral clones me and I reflect it, it'll be a half clone on them
get hit by fear before pressing berserker rage so you're put on dr
depends, sometimes you wanna have your rage for something else
yeah sometimes it's fine to sit w/e it is
fear outside anything important if their next fear has cds
like if it's WPS, you don't really want to rage a priest fear because then you're open to getting full feared by the warrior or vice versa
it's highly situational
yep
This is nice!
the biggest instance of pre-raging a fear i think for me is shattering a lock on their pact
pretty much
as they'll often try to howl it, then port
but i have seen lots of warriors pre-rage a casted fear
which prevents them from being put on dr
pretty bad to do that yup
yeah cool
I'm still learning war
I used to play pvp in warlords and pandaria
But now im back at it with some friends
i loved mop
I played monk
War
lock
rogue
so much fun
MOP was going to be the worst expansion ever (because of pandas)
And turns out everyone loved it in the end
PVP vendor
where you could duel there
Loved it, I learned so much there
mop was far from perfect but we didn't know how good we had it until it got much worse
Second Wind was super fun
@elder wigeon How did you know the mage was casting you poli in this video?
It's because he was spamming it since the beginning of the fight
?
look at the cast bar of my sarena
Nope just when they're casting poly, but I know they want to poly me because they're trying to go my healer and he's on incap DR and my feral can't be sheeped
WoW is weird in that you can't ever really know who is being casted on, so have to kind of go off what you think their game plan is, drs, positioning, etc.
yea np
Usually it's pretty obvious who it'll be on. Not always but
Experience plays a huge part
we should be able to duel in capital cities
like we could duel in skyhold in legion why not in oribos or by the pvp vendor
New epic feeling is to have Death Sentence not charge you and then incur the cooldown

Luckily swinging it in melee doesn't actually proc the cd
You guys think its worth wait for the new legendary ilvl or craft the 262 now?
up to you but the issue is you don't know what tier pieces you're gonna get and you don't want to fuck yourself
Arms will work with hybrids pretty much only that can dedicate a lot of their resources to supporting you
IE Kitty cleave, Ret war, Turbo, WPS
I don't think TSG will be good because the DK can't support the warrior, and to a large extent the warrior supported the DK
with no massive changes warrior is just going to be kind of meh until 4pc then fury will at least be a high sustain damage spec with some tools. Should still be playable but looks like its just going to be a case of "why don't you use x instead of warrior" for most comps
hopefully they at least lower the damage penalty to 10% on Dstance
thats gonna be dumbest move, and that quote from nonwarrior players become true 'sit in def whole day'
if its 10-10
It's not about sitting in Dstance all game its about being able to relieve some pressure at some moments without completely giving up all your momentum, atm going into dstance in a situation where you aren't ccing through damage or running away is a waste
good warriors will still get out of d-stance if it's -10% damage when it's the right time
bad warriors will just sit d-stance all game and lose 10% of their damage
20%
this is a hypothetical I know
