I feel you!
Hope you get some love soon.
A lot of the melee nerfs were done from high level scaling but it’ll make it miserable at lows.

I am half expecting a full on mid expansion rework like DF Ret, the way Arms was treated in Beta.

Gameplay is pretty fun, tuning just isn’t there. They also stated no tuning would occur until the 17th of March and then it would be weekly tuning passes for like the next month after that.
Last I checked it’s only the 12th right now so give it a few more days.
Tuning is coming on Tuesday.
Looking forward to the salt.
Include fury too because man they have completely disrespected it in pvp. Its almost unbearable how slow you move in pvp versus every other spec. I have more mobility and outplay potential on my warlocks than I do on a warrior now. It seems like every other spec is an anime character and im the tortoise thats trying to win the race, the race being getting 1 singular hit off and a 30% or higher enrage uptime
When rallying cry could break cc move-impairments and bladestorm can be a choice node for mountain thane, i used to take 2 charges of it just to break any cc i was under. Now as a mountain thane i have no rallying cry and no double bladestorm because avatar is mandatory and almost never used to actually break cc but instead for dmg burst. Blizz needs to rebook at fury warrior in pvp specifically mountain thane. Give us a ranged hamstring or something
Here’s the trick with arms, pick your battles. We have plenty of interrupts. Shockwave, stormbolt,intimidating shout, pummel, and the spear. Hit avatar, throw your spear, colossal smash and demolish. Heck of a wombocombo. We may not put out the damage we should be doing, but by locking enemy players down and keeping them stunned with shockwave/stormbolt we help the team secure the kill. We can charge twice and heroic leap so those healers running away have a hard time staying away.
I just watched Bajheera make a video on how awful arms is. If a life long warrior like Bajh says something about it, maybe you should listen @blizzard
warriors should be helping “secure the kill” they are warrior for pete’s sake. They should be a real threat to anything 1v1 without the help of their whole team to “secure the kill”
Remember during WoD when Ion was asked in an interview about the terrible state of Demonology warlock and he stated “We’d rather you not play it”?
Yeah, that is Arms right now. They don’t want you to play it for one reason or another.

Tomorrow we shall find out and i don’t think that arms will get big buff.
Should Be able to 1v1 anything, I gave up on that dream many years ago. But we do secure the kill though as your putting it. We lock an enemy in place and put a lot of pressure on them, while their buisy with our shenanigans the team gets the kill. Secured.
I would love to 1v1, but we get kited mighty easily. We have abysmal self heals, we have hardly any damage reduction or shields. Half of the classes we go against you gotta chop through 3 health bars before they actually start to worry.
Nobody is getting tuning until the 17th. But I am praying for you.
It’s almost 12.0.5 and even with all the “tuning” buffs Arms is still horrible. Unless you’re Myth geared doing +15 keys or doing PvP Arms is unplayable for the casual.
The Apex Talents feel like an afterthought (no one likes Slam so why force it into the rotation), +5% Mortal Strike & Cleave & 5% damage increase for Colossus Smash and AoE for Colossus Smash extension on tier feels like an insult.
I know not every spec can be “S-Tier” but when you’re getting declined for mid range keys in Champion and Hero gear it’s not an enjoyable experience.
