Imagine an arms build without FR... Try it with me. Feels nice right? I dont mind the playstyle but sometimes it would be nice to switch it up.
IftK, mortal combo, lets try to make these useful too. Why have choices if only 1/3rd actaully work?
Ok so you go not where near the nerf. You were all saying they weren't listening, and they were and you're still going to call it stupid???
Go back before Legion was released and Archi himself and many others said don't expect hamstring to go live procing Tac. And I think they are saying the rage used for hamstring during BC will not be counted toward Tac. If so it's a great change, I think blizz just pretty much said they want Slam or WW used during BC basically. Which makes FR a much more fun spec to play.
So now that FR is only 30%, does this change our rotation at all? Does execute now take priority over MS and you just drop FR sub 20%? What about with the legendary gloves?
Your macro should be slam + HS + FR for battle cry, to not have that is a huge loss. By the time my BC is done I only have 50 seconds left because of all the rage used.
Actually since both FR and Hamstring are off the GCD you can also use Slam/WW/Execute at the same time. So yes you spam all of these abilities, if you weren't then WoW that is quite incredible that you have not realised this by this point. Anyway Hamstring being fixed is a good thing for gameplay, but losing 50 rage spent during Battle Cry is a hefty loss to tactition procs, and with the new more attractive tactition numbers for next week it's still a net loss compared to current numbers unless my math is wonky.
Rage spent during Battle Cry with Deadly Calm doesn't contribute to Anger Management.

Probably running on a Pentium 4
I call the Hamstring change stupid, because it didn't achieve that we do not have to use it. It nerfed a mechanic that should have been completely obliterated. So no, they were not carefully listening. They failed and again show that they do not fully grasp the mechanics they are changing.
Hamtring still does 3k dps and Hamstring will still lower BC cooldown by 1 sec per use through AM. So while using it was considerable nerfed, we are still required to use it for optimal dps. And yes sir, that is stupid and bugs me.
Additionally this cost us a ~36% chance for an additional Tactician procc during BC, which is a rather significant damage loss. The 15% buff to base tactician was simply not enough. Should've been at least 20%.

I was using Slam during BC, but that was mainly due to me like to use slam. Back an a thread right around the start of Legion slam during BC came up and most of the ppl in the thread said it was wrong to use slam during BC. So even though I was doing it I thought it was a dps loss ... Well actually you were in that thread the one were you guys were arguing with Trep about the FR+slam, FR+Slam, FR+MS. Remember?
But after reading it again you did say to use Slam but only once.
What I was doing was just spaming FR+Slam ( after MS) the whole time, cuz I thought adding in HS would rage starve me.
My mistake.
It does, or else I'm spamming so much i hit two globals after, execute + hs + fr is a pretty quick cooldown for BC
