NEVER Rework Arms Warrior

Dear Blizzard,

I have been maining Arms Warrior for 8 Years because I truly believe it is one of the most fun, fluid and amazing specs in the game.

Here’s Why:
The audio/visual feedback is astonishing.
It is the closest thing to Berserk in WoW achievable. (Please add another sword like Armageddon into the game xx)
The rotation is satisfying.
Crits are dopamine factories.
Remains popular, despite being one of “oldest” spec designs in the game.

I love this spec with my heart and soul. I will never abandon or change my main so long as the core concept of the spec stays true.

Granted, they could benefit from more defensive or mobility, as one of the most high-pressure classes in the game is now being easily outrun by most specs (especially Evokers)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NEVER CHANGE ARMS
Much Love <3

Sir, this is retail forums not Cataclysm classic forums. Or Legion classic (when it comes), forums. Thanks.

Arms needs help for M+ as it’s the second worst spec for that content, but outside of that it’s pretty good. Single target is nice if a little janky having to juggle skull splitters dumb 21 second CD that doesn’t line up with anything.

It’s actually a very strong dmg option as Colossus for keys, people just aren’t playing it as they should be. Those tier lists are also using representation where most of the popularity for warrior dps tends to fall to Fury and not Arms, so people tend to stick to fury in keys regardless and don’t bother learning other specs in the game that have the capacity to do very well.

Hard, hard, HARD agree!

Colossus and having Cleave as our primary AoE is everything I’ve ever wanted in an Arms warrior.

I just now need to farm crit pieces FML…

countercounterpoint: Keep buffing arms while people aren’t noticing how strong Colossus builds are.

Mate if I get to do big bonks in raid I’ll be a happy chappy.
For now big bonks in keys shall suffice.

Better yet, they could give Arms the Outlaw treatment that Combat Rogues got… Remove it entirely and replace it with something else completely…

I dont like arms animations and sounds effect.

Mortal strike and rend look the same. Overpower looks goofy and It sounds like a baseball bat.

The only animation that I enjoy is colossus smash and execute

I half feel like this is a jab at XIV DRK players.

Rest in peace, Plunge (greatsword front-flip gap-closing moderate-damage oGCD attack). v.v

…Let’s be real, though. Nothing about later-day Guts shouts Arms. There’s no tactics, just berserking. He’s Fury through and through… had it just been allowed not to dual-wield (or if multi-tree speccing were still permitted).

I’ve only ever played a Tauren Arms Warrior since WoW launch. No ALTs

2 things I miss dearly from the Vanilla Days:
#1 The stance switching from battle to berserk for intercept
#2 Overpower immediate activation when target dodges (Rogue Killer)

must have a different version of arms than most of us. I do like how much slayer reave procs for cleave build arms, though. Its fun to spin all day. Doesn’t mean it isn’t clunky as hell to weave in mortal strikes because you don’t want to spend your random buffs from overpower that make no sense!

bring back legion arms.

tear it all out by the roots and start fresh with it

lets all go stand out side blizz give them hell for ruined class they done to us and see how they feel then we get arrested then wow welcome blizz to lawsuits

Dear Blizzard,

Don’t listen to Espionic, rework warrior ASAP. I have being maining Arms warrior for 12 years because i truly believe it is one of the most fun specs, but right now its one of the worst.

Here’ why:

Stone age animation/visuals
It is the furthestthing to Besrerk in WoW. (Berserk don’t fight by giving slaps and bleeds)
The spec should not be a bleed spec.
Rage starvation
Bad rotation
Remains unpopular behind fury.

I love this spec with my heart and soul. And i have abandoned because it feels so bad as its core concept is rotten.

Please, do change arms, asap.

Is Colossus doing better than slayer in keys? I have a mighty need and a high crit chance

Slayer is easier to play to a degree, but Colossus can also utilise it’s kit for some nasty priority damage on add wave spawns, bosses with vuln phases.

It’s definitely got a higher AoE potential, but does have a little more nuance to it since it required a little more user input to get the results.

It definitely wants at least 1x Shaman in it’s groups at all times, due to how busted Skyfury is for it, but it’s also not the end of the world if you don’t have a Shaman in the group.

My wife was going to main rsham this expansion then went to paladin at the last minute. Crestfallen, I press on.
