Dear class design team

Whatever happened to the “tactician” in Arms Warrior? The literal description of the spec makes the spec out to be someone who has an answer for everything and can get out of combat situations pretty easily.

How are you going to claim 10-15k crit executes in PvP “overpowering strikes”?

Arms is an actual wet noodle spec that went from one of the greatest versions of a flat out melee MMO class to the absolute worst.

Please get rid of GCD, bring back charge stun, heroic strike and old overpower, because I’d genuinely rather wait 4 sec for autoattack to trigger in order to use one button, than waste literally that same time due to gcd, and doing an impressive 20k hit at 407 ilvl vs. a cloth user.

Much agreed!

The only joy I get now, number-wise atleast, is seeing those rare crushing assault 80/90k slam crits.

Oh and while you’re at it, also sort our arms survivability - if we’re allowed to have such a thing that is :pleading_face:

Oh yeah by the way. Overpower does more damage than mortal strike with 2 stacks. So you guys really know what you’re doing. :slight_smile: At least almost.

They’re moving in the right direction from what i have seen with essence.

I remember when I was used to spend so much time dueling in durotar as arms , now I can only duel people that want to check their burst and see how fast they can kill me.

Well yeah there’s no real skill involved in any classes anymore. It’s all about who can land stun and press their 1shot button first.
Except arms doesn’t have an 1shot button. You’ve a 219837664987234698713264918723648972345796123452397865 shot button instead
Ret pala quite literally does the same amount of damage Arms does with the full rotation, in 3 buttons

Dueling in wotlk was actually fun, I really did feel like I had a chance and control over my fate.

Now it feels like i’m a weakling and performing a pve rotation.

They don’t want classes to have too much utility.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut

Rogues have +range on attacks.
One button cleave that does as big if not bigger aoe dps than arms.
30% self heal and a big leech.
50% aoe dmg taken reduction
A cancel targeted abilities in vanish/run out of combat in vanish.
Shroud.
Gouge.
Sap.
Blind.
Between the eyes stun spam.
Passive 50% slows.
Retaliation + dmg taken decrease.
Cloak of shadows.
Distract.
Cheapshot.
Grappling hook.

Not to mention their pistol shot crits bigger than 3x lord of war warbreakers.

And warriors have :-

root on charge
Fear every 1.5 mins for 0.1 sec.
Commanding shout every 3 minutes.
And you gotta waste talents for defensive stance and storm bolt.
Hamstring looool
0 self heal btw.

I can’t think of any spec worse in terms in survivability than arms right now… anyone?

enhancer is quite trash too in terms of surviving, but arms still got the absolute zero selfheal going on.

Wotlk average HP 30k → Mortal Strike hit average 5k (even 8-9k full pve) and my favourite and funniest spell Heroic Thrown 1.5k

BFA average HP 300k → Mortal Strike hit 20k and Heroic Thrown still 1.5k

this is not fun :slight_smile:

Arms are supposed to be about big crits but we can’t take a decent chunk out of anyone’s hp bar unless they were under geared or we pop a lot of CDs. A pyro however took 60% of my hp bar in a single spell.
