Fury looks fine and it gives more reason to actually use Blood Thirst.
Arms looks pretty damn strong but for the love of God please stop forcing us to use Slam. Just bake it into Mortal Strike but lower the damage.
Just by looking at some other tier sets it seems like Blizzard is trying to make people use other abilities that are trash tier just to create more talent “diversity”.
I was just posting in the thread re: removing slam, then I see this thread. smh @ arms 4-piece.
idk if we need more damage modifiers for MS. Spreading damage out to other abilities is fine, but they could probably combine slam and rend or make this effect overpower instead or something.
Fury looks fun, especially if based on wording it works of hits and not cast’s since rampage hits 4 times.
As for arms 2 piece is nasty but 4 piece looks nice, although not to the point of spamming slam, you’d just press it after a set amount of stacks have been reached.
The ARMS tier set design looks great except for incorporating Slam into the build. None of the 3 Warrior specs enjoys pressing the button. Delete the ability and confiscate the keyboard of any developer who elects to prioritize Slam for further spec development.
Prot pally looks insane. Also I think MW is going to be meta.
The preservation 2 piece bones is cool and the 4 piece is complete dog water.
Prot Warrior is fine, I guess. Guardian is cracked.
Most of those tier set bonuses seem to force people into a certain talent, that should never be a thing. And a lot of
Them look very lackluster.
Fury set is pretty good for both PVE and PVP that significantly helps a lot in both contents that it should fix the sustainable damage problem.
Arms set with the 4 piece trying to shove in slam sucks It’s like the worst thing too have.
People keep hating the slam 4pc simply because its slam but refuse to look at it from a practical standpoint. Is slam cool? No, but the proc IS strong and it will perform well, especially if it interacts with SS the way Overpower does, it will add alot of splash to our cleave while maintaining a basicslly unchanged ST rotation and build.
It does not. It barely does well in terms of damage buff it was around 30k crit damage while under spear of bastion, while on top of that it was averaging around 15-18k regular damage. So even without the other slam buffs it’s still a wet noodle or just wasting talent points on a ability with it’s basic damage is 9k
It barely does well for the stacking damage where it’s meant for.
Yes I have went there to test this out myself on the PTR.
Blizzard really nerfed the 2 piece bonus, for Arms Warrior, and every other warrior out there agrees that Slam shouldn’t even be in rotation. Please blizzard stop trying to make slam work. It’s not good and requires you to delve deep into other talents that render the spec absolutely abysmal for absolutely no benefit. You didn’t even make the slam from the 4 piece trigger with Fervor of Battle talent. You’re using this time to evaluate community feedback on other classes. Don’t ignore the warrior community, address this and give us a decent tier next patch for Arms Warrior.
No tier sets should force a talent path (in this case, slam in the 4 piece arms).
For example, the protection set affects shield slam. This works because shield slam is something every protection warrior has no matter what talent build path they take. Thats how ALL set bonuses should work.
Excuse my toxic positivity, but one plus side of the arms 4 piece set bonus is that now after nerfs warriors only need to have two set pieces in pvp, maybe pve too?
This will allow us to choose more pieces of gear that are better tailored to our stat priority.
Sucks to have a totally useless 4 piece set bonus but it’s nice to pick the stats on your gear and this will probably be arms best option.
