Taste for Blood Arms Warrior plays great! I’m having a blast. They did a really good job on this, and it’s really fun to play. Well done!

yeah they made us play a pvp spec in pve with 1 rune
what is fun about it? lol you just spam overpower
There’s synergy with the talents. You actually use your Rend ability, and you get to use Overpower with big fat crits. It’s much better than when it was a low usage ability that you had to swap stance for. It’s a fun playstyle, I think.
The warrior class identity is stances, removing those makes the class boring…
Instead of stance dancing now we just sit BS and lost an ability
The first time that stance dancing was an actual part of Warrior’s DPS rotation was… Cataclysm. What the heck are you talking about with it being part of the class identity?
You still shift to zerker stance to use zerker rage for the fear immunity or to trigger flagellation, so it’s not like you aren’t still swapping. It’s even more than you did in classic, where you just stay in zerker 100% of the time.
literally last phase we were sitting berserker stance and dancing for overpowers?
You also dance for OP as fury if you are good in vanilla,
And always swap for it as arms
Last phase we were sitting in another class so we weren’t actively griefing our raid because of the bugged armor values.
Hard disagree. Stances have always been a barrier to playing a Warrior organically, which is why Warriors need so many macros. You can technically use Overpower in other stances, it’s just going to dump all your rage when you do it… because… reasons.
It’s not like Druid where there is flavour as to why you can only use certain abilities in certain forms. It’s a bureaucratic system.

It is not worth to go from zerker to battle just for Overpower, unless you are low on rage (25 or less) when you happen to get dodged. Also very low chance to even get an Overpower proc w/o TFB. You could go entire boss encounters without ever getting dodged.
You actually have more opportunities to swap stances now that you default to battle and swap to zerker for Whirlwind. It’s more fluid, not less.
Except you literally dont even know the TFB rotation if you think you are stance dancing for WW rn brother
Overpower proc’d quite a bit and its our literal best DPR ability. Especially last phase, you would swap ASAP to use it without caring about dumping rage.
BTW You sit battle > Rend > Overpower > Slam > HS If capping and fish WF with hamstring, never swap stances as TFB unless you are using berserker rage for flagellation
So let me get this straight:
You don’t think it’s worth to dump your rage by stance dancing for Whirlwind once every 10 seconds on a single target (I agree, it’s not)
But you think it was okay to do it once every FIVE seconds, going from zerker to battle, for Overpower, prior to TFB?
???
Tell me how that makes sense. In both instances, you are dumping your rage for a single attack that does roughly weapon damage. Why is one better than the other?
FYI - Even with TFB, you stance dance for Whirlwind any time there is more than 1 target. Which is like 80% of the time you spend in a raid (including trash)
you still have to hit that berserker rage and ww button from times to times so stance dancing still exists
what’s fun about it is that he’s having fun playing it.
Literally it was what the top warriors were doing
You aren’t arguing with me,
You’re arguing with Ahlaundo, Google, Iraqi etc (top 10 warriors since forever)
Yes, You did swap without dumping for OP last phase as arms.
And yes, You do not swap to use WW on CD with TFB.
Look at the logs my dude.
Stances arent removed. Proper stance dancing and Rage/CD management/tracking is now essential as opposed to merely being the metric by which good warriors distance themselves from terrible ones.
Phase 3 is the best version of Arms so far.

Just taking a quick look at their logs:
Ahlaundoe had 7 Overpower casts on his 100 parse Thermaplugg from last phase.
If you look at his Shade of Eranikus kill from this phase: he has 13 casts of Whirlwind.
He stance dances more often now than he did prior to TFB. That is exactly what I said in my original post.
Yeah on AOE you wanna use WW but single target the rotation is do not leave battle unless toggling Flagellation
