Arms Legion Discussion

[Emaias]

Thanks a lot guys.

Just to make sure I'm clear normal rotation would be something like this

Opener: Charge, FR, CDs, FR, CS, FR, MS, weave FR and Slam unless a priority proc occurs.
Following opener: FR, CS, FR, MS, FR, Slam spam until priority proc, or when using BC essentially use opener.

To be clear: Slam spam is the new rotation without game changing legendaries and I should not be FRx3 to MS

During Execute Phase: FR, CS, FR, Execute, FR(?) MS, FR(Execute?)

[Plasma]

Does anyone know how the new potions will compare to old war?

More like FR, CS, FR, MS, Slam until priority. During Execute, it's CS, MS, Execute. Don't FR except during Battle Cry, Execute is a better way to spend your rage. You're weaving in too many FRs and you'll get rage starved doing that. It's not the focus of the build anymore, it's a supplement. The nerfs changed the information you are looking at that tells you otherwise.

I mean, DPS wise Void Cleave is obviously best. But I'd pick Touch of Zakajz over it anyway, unless we're talking M+.

went with execute 15% crit, that's going to matter more on bosses, if you want adds to die a tiny bit faster, go with void cleave

[Mateng]

How does the rotation change with the legendary gloves?

Except he was responding to

question for what next trait to take in arms either:

1) void cleave
2) Touch of zakajz
3) defensive measures

Of which Deathblow isn't an option.

You macro FR to everything.

Quick question:
My mainspec is Fury, my offspec Prot. With the upcoming buffs to fury, both dps specs seem to get a bit closer and fury not at the absolute bottom. (Currently the 3 golden traits in fury with the best way to get there, Prot 2 golden).

I'm thinking now, if it would be "good" to put some points in Arms, only for ST bosses (and WQs as Fury has less heal and Prot is a bit slow) or if this makes no sense.
I already have "Shattered Defenses", would then go to "Corrupt Blood of Zakajz" and then get "Deathblow". (~87k ap which is not to much).
All the other talents seem to me more MT than ST.
Only "Focus in Battle" but this would be a lot more AP which i don't want to spend (or would it be necessary to get a real benefit for ST?).

They are all pathetic. But personally i'd take def measures, because it's a 1/1 talent, then start working on touch of zakaj. Void cleave seems like an absolutely useless piece of shit to me.

Bump, i'm interested in finding the answer too

Hey, I was stuck on that part too until I decided that Deathblow is an option and I went that way.

Obviously if you do have the legendary ring, you want Deathblow right away.

[nyjl]

Deathblow is not an option because he already got that.

[Deleted]

yeh i have deathblow already maxed out, went with touch of zakajz but doesn't heal much, guess should of went void cleave for that extra aoe dmg even tho it was shit

Why is Cleave looked down upon so much?
In terms of DPR it's as good as WW with 2 targets already, plus it buffs next ww by 40 or 52%. Then against 3 targets with voidcleave it just goes crazy in terms of DPR (voidcleave also being shadow dmg so no armor reduction, right?) and buffs ww even more.

Because compared to most other classes' AoE abilities, it's awful.

This hamstring change legitimately has me depressed; how the fuck am I supposed to play 2's arena now? Such a dumbass change.

A slap in the face basically. "Youre still having fun? Well too bad."

[Saiona]

so after the buff will a 865 nature's call be better than a 845 angerboda? Im glad i saved that poop trinket

[Iraal]

Interesting. I have still been using an FR macro. Big fail. Where do people get all their info on rotations from? It's not that I don't believe/trust people opinions and Information I just like to read source information for myself.

Wait, what? Where did it say that trinket adjustments are already on the way?
That'd be great, since I got an 880 Nature's Call rotting in my bank.

Cone damage from the dragon breath proc increased by 40%. not sure if worth.
