Are you guys enjoying arms? for me I’m not enjoying it at all, I tried rerolling a couple of classes but I just can’t let go of arms warrior, been playing that for a long time now, everything feels weird, damage, mobility and rotation, also the melee animations do not satisfy me at all, the sound effects and visual effects should make it feel better but for me it really doesn’t it makes me feel sick in the stomach, how do you guys feel about that?

For me it’s the complete opposite.
Switch to arms last week, and it’s way more fun than smashing my keyboard with fury.
Although the differences in dps between fury and arms is big (fury beign the spec with more dps), it is more fun playing arms because you have to actually plan your rotation, and you have to take decision every second on what to use in order to make the best of it.
For the animation and sound effects, I could agree with you, but it doesn’t really bother me that much.
With that being said, Arms should get buffed a little bit 
Arms is stronger than fury at the moment.
I have to disagree with pretty much every point you have made, fast rotation doesn’t mean button smashing, you have to make decisions faster, those decisions are usually pretty easy, but so is arms.
The difference between the two is mostly just a matter of how many hits you dish out, but arms is all about more haste, fury just feels way faster, and mostly is faster because of enrage.
The decisions you make are not more difficult for arms compared to fury.
The only spec i would say that has harsh consequences for doing a mistake is feral druid with bloodtalon, and maybe a few others, but certainly not arms.
Honestly arms rotation is pretty boring.
I’m not gonna talk about gameplay here because iv’e already did so on other posts, so i’m gonna make a post about what could be improved in terms of visuals.
Well for one they could start by not having 1 single animation for every strike, stormstrike has 3 animations that chain together for example, don’t know why they cannot do that for other specs also.

Fury is out performing arms in most raid encounters going off logs, arms performs better in pvp and lol whats a warrior n M+.
They did ruin the reason I feel in love for warrior with WOD

Fury is easier and takes less effort than Arms so more people play Fury so it creates the impression that Fury is a lot better. If you stack Test of Might and use it correctly, then Arms VASTLY outperforms Fury, I’ve only one Test of Might and in one raid when going from Fury to Arms I now outperform the Fury Warrior whom I was tailing. And in M+ my average DPS has increased by 10k+.
So what you glean from logs in no way pair up with what I experience.

I really liked Arms in Legion, but since BFA hit, I can’t make myself to play it. Really hoping for Arms to get some kind of a rework in Shadowlands, I’m getting sick of Fury and Dual Wield.

After that they can start on the Talents. Arms is so ridicolously Talent and gear dependant that it’s boring. Talents and gear should make the spec better instead of being required for the spec to work. There are so many issues with Arms baseline that need to be fixed before anything else should be worked on.

This. I main an arms warrior, and im outDPSing almost everything in m+. Maybe an outlaw rogue can beat me with a few k, but thats rare. In raids im always top 5. Arms is a much better spec than Fury If you know what youre doing
That in no way makes it as enjoyable to play as Fury though. For me, Arms could outperform every other spec by a factor of three and it would still be too boring for me to touch. Aside from that, the spec is also incredibly fragile and it suffers if it has to change targets as everything is non-reliable, which is ironic coming from the reliable spec.

Wait what?
Arms doesnt outperform Fury at all in M+ and maybe slightly in raid environment
I mean the spec is good and all but its definitely not FOTM or anything
Nope cause even tho i wasnt a gladiator back in cata or mop i enjoyed Warrior so much i loved it i want that warrior back.
I only levelled last week but arms feels to me like the Legion survival hunter atm just without the pet and extra tools.
and since legion survival was good, arms is also good.
Meanwhile Protection is like a kid having a tantrum, stamping on the ground and shouting.
And before this you posted in a thread where you implied that you had loads of experience on Arms and that it was fine and now you only have a weeks worth of experience.

At what point did i ever say i had loads of experience, in the game as a whole, definitly, with warrior specifically i have played a dark iron warrior at the start of the expansion, so relative.
also, it is almost exactly like the survival hunter which i played in legion which of course makes me familiar with the base already, this is likely why they changed survival, which i didn’t realise how similar they were at the time, it was still great tho.
What i was saying in the other thread only became possible within this patch due to cooldown alignment.
You never said it directly, however, you strongly implying by lying by omission when you were pressed for numbers in the other thread and instead made vague statements that could mean anything.
Even though a lot of the things you do are implemented on a subconscious level I can read it like an open book. That means that I know your word-fu and can see right through it. So yes, your statement is objectively correct because you never explicitly said you had loads of experience. It’s also BS because you never said you had only played for a short time when people asked you. When you were asked to provide numbers you avoided answering the question and instead answered that your damage meter said so. Good answer if you want to seem like a dishonest apologetic that uses anecdotal evidence as fact.
Anecdotal evidence is ranked four out of four when it comes to evidence. Numbers, like those provided by sims are ranked number 1 out of the 4.

I sense that someone is mad that i was right.
You know who says that? Someone who subconsciously knows that they were wrong and refuse to admit it to themselves consciously, so instead the make up narrative reasons for ignoring what the other person said.
