You ever done a M+ dungeon with War Machine Fury and a Sephuz ring equipped? It is like the most insanely crazy (in a good way) experiences one can have, I don't think Fury is in a bad place at all design wise, it's not my cup of tea for raiding but for sure it's pretty good, and a unique experience in dungeon play.
And FR Arms, I loved it personally and I was very good at it, I find it interesting how often when it gets brought up that FR Arms was more complex and had great nuances and deep mastery, some 30% parsing player shows up to tell me how it was just spammy faceroll nonsense, and it's as if I don't know wtf I'm talking about with my 99% rankings and multiple rank 1 in bracket logs.. Yep the 30th percentile player is right, and I don't know anything. And i'm not making this up, on the official forums every time I talk Arms some pleb comes along and tells me I'm talking out of my ass and that Arms is easy. if I was in a raid with any of them I would leave them for dead, but I'm the clueless one of course.
I have to be real, I haven't been taking WoW seriously since early EN progress, I've played very casually in a very low end casual guild and it has been months since I've done anything, I'm 4/10 mythic and I'm only that because I came back for 1 raid a few months ago to help out some mates.. So I'm not really that invested, but I am annoyed because I've been following this patch and doing my own theorycrafting, testing and investing some effort on the PTR because I was planning on maybe making an effort again in TOS.
But I feel so deflated with it all, I just don't want to play Arms as it is.. I would just get so bored, I need a spec that has some tactical elements that keeps me thinking and I like it to be fast paced and demanding... Isn't that why people liked MOP Arms/Fury and Dragon Soul Arms? The right combination of tactical gameplay and high APM? If you make the spec braindead as it feels now then it just becomes bland to anyone who enjoys exploring the nuances of spec mastery.
