Rework Arms ffs!

Dogsh!t spec that plays sh!t in m+, does no damage, has sh!t utility, sh!t defense and plays old af. Please give it the ret/hunter/dk etc. treatment and re-think the spec from the bottom up. Remove obsolescent abilities, add new or alternative ones for current abilities (maybe an alternative ability for Charge etc.?!), introduce major quality of life changes - hell, even change the name of the “Arms” spec to something better suited - as you did with Combat rogue, because this isn’t classic anymore - nobody cares that this warrior spec can use all “Arms” = weapons in WoW and can become proficient with it - that’s ancient classic stuff and not suitable for modern WoW anymore.

Please devs, just give us something (rather major) for Midnight!

I think the ideea of arms is good but it dont have the design of all arms into it you just use two h weapon and that all the talents before was nice mace spec sword etc . And the class feel behind cause the utility spells and survive are useless u have die by the sword and def stance which was nerft every expansion

At PvP arms isn’t at a better state . The relentless nerfs from season 2 have now shown their impact. Mortal Strike and Execute dmg are low and even if we have uptime on the target we run out of rage. Our rage regeneration nerfed because of an issue that no one ever complained about in DF “overgeneration.”. At PvE crit /haste are the main stats which contribute to rage generation but for PvP we pick versa haste which makes the problem worse .
We spend 2 points on bloodborne to get 10% increased dmg at bleeds. That feels awful.
Tactican procs got nerfed in this expansion for no clear reason that made our rotation even more clankier. Its demoralizng to press full rage execute and not get a tactician reset.
PvE buffs of 8% next week but for PvP we only recieved nerfs after nerfs on nearly any ability and talent we use.
I cant explain the warrior treatment in this expansion especially for PvP. Either is pure incompetence or else they really dislike us . Either this is pure oversight, or there’s a lack of direction for Warrior in PvP. But there’s no shortage of feedback: players here, rank 1 Warrior streams, and constant forum posts all highlight the same issues. Please acknowledge and address them.

Agree. While there are many classes that have stood the test of time and others that have been updates with great success arms suffer from this archaic playstyle that has stuck with the spec for so long. Same applies to affliction warlock and others.

When I think of Arms i thing of strong deliberate attacks in comparison to fury warrior. That could be a great base to build upon.

After 20 years, Arms still lacks a baseline rage generation ability in its rotation. The spec’s fluidity feels like it has a permanent 10% haste penalty. With 10% haste, the rotation feels clunky; at 20% it’s somewhat better, and only at 30% haste does it start to feel fluid. Meanwhile, energy-based specs and Hunters or Paladins have smoother rotations even at low haste values ,they just play slower, not clunkier . Energy users have 1 sec GCD capped just to mention.
A simple solution would be to make Overpower generate 10 rage baseline and have its cooldown scale with haste. This would improve the fluidity of the spec without breaking balance.

I feel like we might get second mage rework or paladin before warrior. Lost hope with warrior, it has been my main but ever since DF i rarely play it anymore.

Yea, I think at this rate each other class will get their 5th rework before we get ours

Im also afraid if we ever get a rework they will push bleed spec hard, which i hate, we are not feral druid or rogue… Some bleed yeah ofc but not for it to be the most important aspect or even remotely important IMO

This is pointless and meaningless rant. If you dislike Arms so much, play some other spec or class. Or even better, play some other game. The “modern” one, of course.

How about YOU go somewhere else if you have nothing to contribute nor an opinion. Fkn id!ot.

remove ravager and bladestorm, add banners for buffing/debuffing. mortal strike always gives deep wounds same as cleave

Bladestorm is the signature ability of dps warrior and it can’t be removed. Ravager was added for PvE reasons but the combo ravager and hurricane was worth. Hurricane was removed in this expansion again for no reason, Hurricane granted us 5% Strength and 5% Movement speed stacking up to 6 times for the durations of Bladestorm and Ravager and 6 seconds after they ended . This really improved the performance of the spec. However we are forced to play with Unhinged which used be a choice node with Hurricane.

That was my opinion, because ridiculous things you proposed. I play this game since 2005 and I really can’t remember anything so shallow, so frustrated and so dumb.
