He posts 99% parse instead of the 75%-90% which is more accurate when it comes to the avg warrior player base right now. Don’t be siding with Derez’ nonsense.
In PvE content Arms is not much better than fury if at same ilvl on ST/2bossCleave which Nathria mostly consists of.
Arms pulls higher than fury and becomes more avg in the parses when it comes to Mythic+ and they also have really consistant dmg and reliable burst making them pretty decent in pvp as well. Fury is very unreliable in all aspects.
A lot of people shutting down posts about the avg warrior player base while using the 99% parse as a standard parse is a load of bull and should be considered trolling. Not everybody is trying to be a Mythic tier raider so you can’t use that as a consensus for keeping the other 90% of the warrior player base being crappy at all other content.
You would want to check all the type of data to get the most information about a spec performance to do the best tuning, but parses at 99% will show the damage the spec can do with someone playing at his best. So its the best section to check about spec performance, since the player cant really play better with his spec.
If you go down with 75-90%, then it show the players are doing mistakes or other reasons that are influencing their dps negatively. So there room the player can improve, hence doing more dps. Why not encourage the avg warrior to play better since that more of the issue at that moment?
Sad I know, every time I log on my prot warrior, I stand there for 20 minutes and remember how they got the short straw and then log over to my guardian druid.
Multi quoting is so cringe. Anyone can multi quote with single liners. Doesn’t mean you have an argument or a point, just means you know how to highlight text and click quote.
I didn’t say I was confused, I just stated multi quoting is cringe. With all that multi quoting, I’d expect you read and understand what you’re replying to. Apparently not.
Derez is a troll, he came here just trying to justify the unjustifiable. No one is inviting warriors to high level M+ stones except your guild mates. You need to increase your raider io but nobody wants warriors in any M+ above 10
Fury is fun to play, so this strikes me as mostly a tuning issue.
Condemn saves arms from being possibly the most boring dps spec in the game. It’s a great ability. Too important at the moment probably, yeah, but it’s such a good ability for arms that I think it should stick with the spec after Shadowlands.
The bigger problem is prot. I love sword and board-style warrior tanking, so I would really like prot to be more fun than it is. Of course the issue is not only fun, the spec is also bad in areas that matter a lot for tanking.
To my mind, the main dynamic that should be changed is Ignore Pain. I’ve never liked this ability. It’s annoying to use, the rage spender for prot should be a button that feels awesome, which IP does not, and it’s also the ability which corresponds to the self-sustain/magic damage mitigation weaknesses that tend to make prot lag behind the other tank specs.
There are other abilities that could be adjusted. Revenge should be better/more important than it is, for example. But Ignore Pain is the main one, imho.
Give IP a short cooldown, but make it much more impactful. Make a buffed revenge the primary rage dump, something like that.
That’s true, but so what? Neither are well-designed abilities. It’s the mechanic that is bad, not the name. For the reasons noted. It’s not effective at what it’s supposed to do, it has to be cast frequently for little benefit, and it’s not a good rage spender.
The rage spender should be satisfying to use in a way that Ignore Pain/Shield Barrier have never been.
Condemn is probably too important for Arms than a single ability should be, especially one that is not necessarily available to every Arms warrior. But it is a great ability.
