Rework Arms Warrior Please

PVP Arenas
1

3 buttons.

Same function since Legion/BFA, and the trajectory has gotten progressively worse and worse. If they buff it, it just globals people (like we saw last 2 weeks ago.) And it gets instantly nerfed and gutted back to dog tier.

If it isn’t buffed, its the most mediocre piece of dogs*it ever to exist. You’re an actual mortal bot for your big daddy 2nd dps to have all the fun. I love this cuckold simulator.

And yes, I am aware that currently you can do your “big mortals”, but surprise surprise, that’s with SEVENTEEN DIFFERENT MULTIPLIERS.

… And each of them requires their own GCD or a proc to make happen.

Let’s compare some numbers to Fury, shall we? I get a random proc on my bloodthirst, and it suddenly smacks someone for 1,8mil. I do not have Avatar, and I do not have Recklessness up.

Whereas; I have 2 stacks of Overpower, I have one stack of Executioner’s Precision, Avatar, Colossus Smash, Trinket proc, Sharpen Blade, Enchant Proc, all combined about ±70 to 120% damage increase, +20k strength

And my mortal does 1,1mil.

Hello…? On top of this, Rampage individual ticks have a chance to crit, each of which will do more damage than both demolish, as well as slam. So exactly what the FLIPPIN FRICK is the point of playing arms then? The bleeds do absolutely nothing, and the single global value of your damage dealers is negative.
We do nothing. My big demolish go takes about a minute(?) to set up fully, and it is countered by a scatter shot or some other 20s piss CC. Really good guys.

And before some coped up +40 y/o warlock player accuses me of only wanting to 1shot people, no, I do not play destro. I just want my buttons to actually be useful, and the global value to mean something. I cannot play that mf arthritis simulator fury.

Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk

Speaking out of my soul.

Peak game design and perfectly balanced to reroll to the tank spec cause the DPS spec is lame. According to blizz is normal for prot to crit for 3M on exe but Almighty God forbid if arms deal 4M on single mortal strike

Yeah its so silly that arms isnt allowed anymore to hit hard. Ppl are just used to arms being dogsh*t and if it does threatening dmg for once (which was the first time recently since DF S1) then the outcry is big.

The reality is, that warriors are mostly afk somewhere in cc and ppl throw their trinkets and walls mindlessly and when the warrior then connects finally and actually with all cds on a blanket target with low armor and blasts him with huge numbers then that is ofc op and must be nerfed insta. Back to dog tier.

Last time spec was rly good was in SL. In DF S1 after some buffs the spec was very decent. Since DF S2 nonstop dog tier.

Clap.

Let’s add the fact that somehow we are getting slowed during bladestorm. It was supposed to grant immune to cc and movement impairing effects during bladestorm, right? Well , for blizz, that’s not the case , best they can do is giving a new animation to warbreaker.

The only thing im genuinely pissed about is why would they ruin sharpen blade into complete uselessness i feel like this is a step backwards - the rest i dont really care as much for the time being as its mostly a matter of number tuning.
I loved having access to 50% MS as a OG MS effect spec it fit the “class fantasy” perfectly. Not to mention it really had its uses where you could see a difference between a good and a bad player just by how he used sharpen blade to its maximum potential.
Now they have basically removed it from the game (lost complete control over the usage of the ability being tied to C smash, increased GCD setup time as it requires additional ability to use beforehand, not to mention indirectly longer CD in PvP environment bcuz c smash rarely goes below 30sec) all of that because some mythic+ player said there are ToO MaNy BuTtOnS - AS IF ANYONE PLAYING PVP CARED about 1 button more or less jesus christ we used to have much more buttons in wrath-cata-mop and we lived with it.

You really dont need Whirlwind or cleave on your keybinds outside of PvE you guys know that? There are many abilities you dont need to have on your binds outside of specific content ffs…

The spec is getting ruined because a single casual cannot unbind abilities he doesnt even use jesus christ i cant with this level of amateurishness in this company its beyond my comprehension. I normally stop myself from such claims but im genuinely MAD about what they did to my boy Sharpen…

Actually, Cleave is insane thanks to Fervor for Battle. Very good in RBGs, Blitz & vs double melee in arena. Sometimes even against caster/melee. Problem is that most warriors are sheep who copy/paste talents from somewhere and can’t think for themselves.

i know that, the point was if someone wants to reduce the amount of keybinds - he can and turning the spec into WoD Arms 2.0 i.e 1 whirlwind macro doing 90% dps is not a good idea. What makes WoW special from other MMO’s is its complexity due to the amount of abilities and possibilites they create. Sharpen has been “redesigned” to be essentially useless right now.

Blizzard: Here , have one more button (Demolish) :smiley:

they need to make hamstring better, not affect gcd and not gain anger management for pve

Warriors already have enough gap closers. You got double charge and leap plus hamstring to slow… Oh right, and 2 stuns to keep people in place. Wait…You also got that spear that pulls you back.

applies to literally 99% of the playerbase

Let me guess, you belong to the 1% category

Its true, hamstring as separate ability feels meh to press when other specs are applying same or better through some baked in passive. If it were like for other classes it would be baked on overpower/rampage or something.

21

warriors use hamstring in all forms of pvp not just arena so this is off-topic. please stay on topic. this is about arms warriors. if you’d like to leave feedback that they should make a blitz section and a shuffle section then you can do that somewhere else. please don’t derail.

This is derailing but also qualifies as naming and shaming.
