EU+US An Open Dialog: Are Arms Warriors Good Enough Anymore?

[Peltzer]

I miss my 20 WoD arms war.

Charge > Rend > Thunderclap > dps > Execute

Bring back Rend

Make Arms Great Again

 

[Walrusbreath]

We can't have Rend back because it would make Blizzes new SV pathetic neckbeard spec less OP. Blizz wouldn't get the data/stats on it as quickly either, or the rerollers paying subs as much.

 

[farnk]

FARNK LIKE ARMS.
FARNK THINKS LEGS NEAT TOO.
FARNK ACTUALLY LIKE ALL PARTS.

SO does that mean we're spending extra rage for nothing? That seems like a bug.

we get it, but its only 10 rage and no more.

 

[Leek]

Hadn't noticed that. Do you mean if you simply did damage to the target, or if you damaged a target that was killed even if you didn't have the KB?

I hit the target a few times but someone else killed him and I got the buff

 

[big]

It does, but if you're enraged you will be doing a very large amount of damage to your target with Raging Blow.

If the target gets distance and kites you after you enrage, then you can simply use a cancelaura macro to stop the enrage. I'd recommend binding that to a Shield Equip macro, since you won't be dealing any damage to a kiting target until charge is back up anyways.

Also, the damage reduction and healing that comes from Enraged Regen more than makes up for the occasional enrage, in my opinion.

You cannot cancelaura with enrage buff. Once its on you it stays on until duration ends.

Oh, I didn't know that.

Thanks for the tip - that's really rough, then :/

 

[big]

Ya its massively disappointing. I thought to do the same thing when I saw the enrage mechanic, but blizz beat us to it. I feel warrior is in a really bad spot in this bracket. Have to use speed pots for gap closing, initiation, and retreat. Overpower just doesn't make up for the removal of rend. Sad days.

 

[Leek]

Yeah we are only supposed to spend 20 rage at lvl 20 but there's a bug going about that spends 40 rage while doing the same damage as 20 rage

 

[Leek]

I want double time or heroic leap at 20 and I will be happy warr

lord that would be a blessing

 

[Tinorn]

I would be satisfied with Hamstring or some other slow. Or increasing Root of Charge so it just barely covers the time to travel. Or give Heroic Throw some other benefit (Rage generation, slow, anything)

 

[Walrusbreath]

^ I've thrown Heroic Throw right off my action bars. Nearly feckin useless except maybe to aggro pets.

naw my man, use everything you are given. i use that and rotate it with taunt if im facing anything with stealth. use either or, wait about 3-4 seconds then use the other. that is a really good way to keep them in combat while rotating through the cd's of the two.

 

[Walrusbreath]

Yeah true, I'm just not happy with the trade when they put HT in.

 

[Ðrips]

Not that it matters, but Flanking Strike doesn't require the target to be at a certain HP %

*vanishes*

 

[Klongo]

Couldn't get a pop for 40 mins. so I logged. Will try tonight.


I am not sure but yesterday I changed my spec 2 times from arms to fury and after that both times the BGS doesn't pop.
Before I had to wait around 20 min after the change both times the q reached 1 hour before I had to log.
Anyone else has noticed this?

I mainly use it to get overpower procs when I'm not in range and usually after I charge, overpower and auto attack, it comes back on
