I was talking to my arena partner today and we were arguing about the amount of brain power required to play Arms Warrior in PvP right now.
My claim is you can open palm slam your hands on the keyboard and win, but you definitely need gear to do it.
He said you don’t need gear, but you need to know what you’re doing to some degree.
I tested it by going into an Arena with him on my 418 Arms Warrior (basically a fresh 120 with a little mythic dungeon gear). 200k HP unbuffed, we won every match we queued for like 30 minutes before I realized we were both wrong.
You can actually play arms warrior without gear or any idea as to what you’re doing, as long as you hit the glowing buttons and spam execute in dampening.
I rage capped myself like 10 times by accident because I didn’t have anything to spend it on (no idea how to play arms warrior) and ended up killing this Unholy DK who had well into the realm of 500k HP.
1400-1600 but yeah, that’s to be expected when you pick up an alt that hasn’t been touched since WoD for the most part, outside of bringing it to a few Mythic 0’s for fun in the very beginning of 8.3 as Prot.
Hammer of wrath went from a 9k damage ability in wrath when people had 30k health and instant killed people.
To cata doing ok damage without wings and being the harder hitting ability with wings up. 36k crit on 150k health
To mop being the same thing but less damage on it.
To wod being the same thing as mop.
Deleted in legion somehow.
To bfa being a mere generator, but a generator only available during wings.
Dude it’s insane how much sense it doesn’t make that deep wounds is applied by x y and z attacks but its damage value is an assrandom formula of attack power and mastery with no relationship to the damage of the attack that applied it
