Season 1 although boring at first makes cleave build interesting to play again and mortal strikes will hit like a truck which is huge for the spec. S2 was barf and although S3 SD TC is fun right now I wouldn’t play it for another tier. S1 all the way.
Season 1 set is the best overall set for any playstyle or content you want to do. It does promote running cleave in m+, which I personally think is better (and more fun) than tab targeting mortal strikes.
I dont like having to vote. Just give us all three available, so people can pick and choose in-game.
S3 is a cool bonus because it actually does something. The other two Seasons Bonuses were entirely passive.
It’s S3 for arms, no question about it. it’s the most fun and versatile, i saw people voting s1 for no reason, wanting to play cleave to do any aoe will leave us with 0 st and we already do negative st, why making it worse with a less fun tier set? you guys are wierd
None of them were super good nor fun. S1 tierset was just straight dps increase but very consistent. Imho Season 2 tier was the most fun even if it meant lower ST, but massive amount of extra DPS from the mortal strikes stacks. At least Mortal strike felt natural to use even if it meant a little bit of adjusting (e.g. having a weakaura which is tracking your stacks).
I honestly don’t know what people like in S3 tierset but I may be the weird one. I see multiple Arms warriors running around without Bladestorm and full ST build even on fortified weeks. Bladestorm is the only spell which I refuse to ditch. Arms = Bladestorm.
S3 for Arms is great, it’s just undertuned, Arms is undertuned. Question is, instead of updating 1 set, why not all 3? Let people choose.
Bladestorm is undertuned, used as a way to get hurricane buff stacks to buff Thunderous Roar. When you run the single target hybrid build you still have very good cleave/aoe, but you have much better boss damage.
Bladestorm is still better on Fortified weeks, but playing it is janky because it can’t be cancelled and it forces you to do weird rotation things. As for S3, it’s great because it auto-applies rend and turns Sudden Death into an AOE proc, it has good balance of damage and good gameplay.
Irrelevant when Arms is the weakest spec in the game anyway.
Arms being garbage is not because of the set. The best set is actually S3, people need to realise this. Class tuning is ongoing, stat scaling has a huge impact, Arms being good in S2 is no indication that it would be good in the future.
For Arms to be good, Blizzard needs to buff the class. If Arms was using S2 set bonuses now it’d probably be worse, not better.
