How updated was your Simcraft version in this situation? Bear in mind there are a lot of variables (trinkets and talent choices) that can skew your results that may lean toward a different stat weight than is posted here as a general result.

Hey and thanks for reply. 

The simcraft I have is the latest update. Also on the website askmrrobot it says I shall go for haste before versatillity.

Here is my armory if you want to look at my stats. I'm just so confused with wich string I should trust. The one from this guide or the simulator.

Simmed your character:

This gives the priority of: Weapon DPS > Mastery > Strength > Attack Power > Versatility > Haste > Crit for your character.

Has there been any recent simming of Relics, by which I mean the priority given to Exploit the weakness relics over ones that give a higher ilvl. 

I know the general rule is ilvl trumps all but recently it's been coming out that EtW is more important that even 30 ilvl's worth of relic upgrade with a less important relic stat. 

 

What is everyone's take on this?

This is when compared to a non-damage related relic stat (the 30 ilvl difference). As for the actual value of EtW relics, I'll see if I can get Wordup to add a section about it into the guide.

Hey and thanks! That's wierd, my simulation shows a different result. Maybe I did something wrong. I'll be going with the string from here then :) thank you!

No problem, sometimes a simple setting difference can cause things to go slightly wrong. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in the future! :)

Whilst the DPR aspect is correct, spending additional rage to trigger additional Colossus Smash resets, and then upping your instances of Shattered Defenses to spend them is a significant gain (and a core part of playing Arms right now). The theory is sound and without that aspect taken into account would be 100% correct, but given that spending Rage is a % chance for only one reset, doing it in drips for multiple chances at the same thing is quite valuable.

Ok, your sentence structure is a bit off there so lemme make sure I understand.

Are you saying that spending more rage for an attack is beneficial because of higher chance to trigger SD? In that case execute can spend up to 40rage per use, making it by far the best attack we have to trigger SD.

Are you saying that spending rage more often is beneficial to maximize the number of times you're rolling for SD proc? In that case execute can be spammed at 10rage per use, making it better than 15 rage FR or 20rage MS.

So... ?

Hello guys. I am a Fury warrior, but I'm feeling bound to switch to Arms (and I really don't like Arms), because by the logs it seems to be doing a lot more dps than Fury (by now I'm still being able to catch other warriors dps, even being behind other classes that do 250K+ at the end of a fight like normal Xavius). May you please explain something to me about the FR build for arms? I didn't get how I should use FR.

*Should I spam it until I get 3 stacks and them hit Slam until I get CS again?

*And if MS get out of cd, I should use it and then stack again?

*I'm macroing FR with Harmstring, is there anything I can do about the rage starve, besides doing heroic charge?

Thank you all (and hope fury gets better ;p)

At the moment there are a few question marks about trait value etc. that I spoke to Archimtiros about. Updates are being held a little until the balance pass that is expected to come early next week happens, so that it doesn't change now and then again in 2 days in the event of an overhaul.

No, I maybe mis-worded that. More instances of Rage spent to trigger tactician can result in multiple resets that will allow you to get more Shattered Defenses procs, instead of frontloading it into one high chance to get one single reset. A lower Rage Execute is still arguable compared to a FR + FR MS. As I said above though, there are a few changes that are likely to get pushed in the next few days, pending the hotfix notes that are going to inevitably come that may (or may not, ideally) affect Arms.

What do you mean it gives less damage?

The percentage what I get for every stat is the following.

Critical-----> 0,00286%
Versatility-> 0,00250%
Haste ------> 0,00308%
Mastery ---> 0,00400%

There's no requirement of Versatility in warrior's mechanics. But Haste raises rage wasted and this is a benefit for Tactician, right?

I'm asking for this.

I see! Is there any way you can show me the exact settings you use in simcraft? So i can start doing it myself :) 

And just to be clear, it is this http://www.simulationcraft.org/download.html simcraft that you use right?

What are these numbers being pulled from?

If you scroll up, you can see the sim image I posted for a user that shows Mastery > Vers > Haste > Crit. That gives the most damage, at least for his gear.

It looks as though the balance pass for Arms directly targets Exploit the Weakness and Focused Rage. For wordup, some questions:

  • Does this mean I should find different relics for my EtW relics now that the trait's power is being cut by 2/3rds?
  • How does this affect our stat priorities? It seems that Mastery will be worse due to fewer Colossus Smash procs and less Colossus Smash uptime and haste might be better so you can fish for procs?
  • Should I be hitting Colossus Smash on cooldown still or waiting to try and hit 100% uptime? 
  • Will the Overpower build take over the Focused Rage build with the Focused Rage nerf?

Thanks

All of these questions are going to take time to answer. Theorycrafters are trying to keep their information quite hidden currently so that people don't take it as complete truth right now. There is still testing to be done and still new changes are possible. Keep an eye on the guide for when we release an update.

Generic comment being mass posted over the comments threads guys.

We are aware of the changes and our writers are working hard to update the guides to suit what has changed. Currently, there is a lot of work still to be done and it's unlikely that every guide will be up-to-date immediately. Expect a flood of updates over the coming days that will answer all of your questions about what is now best after X change, in time for the reset next week.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Hi Everyone,

Just here to ask you all if anyone has the correct stat template for the pawn addon in regards to the arms warrior.

Thanks again.

These are from the guide. Keep in mind two things:

  • They are general, so are not perfect for your character and can even be wrong due to it. If you want perfect ones, sim your own character.
  • These are pre-raid weights, so for 840 gear.

These were calculated using the Advanced build, and 840 Pre-Raid gear:

  • Mastery: 1.33
  • Strength: 1
  • Versatility: 0.88
  • Haste: 0.81
  • Critical Strike: 0.65

It's pretty simple...

Your "Rotation" is keep CS and MS on CD.

While those spells are on CD you have to spend your Rage with the priority : FR until 3 Stacks > Slam > Harmstring

You have to ensure, that you have enough rage to use your next MS when it comes of CD. (Track you Swingtimer or do Heroic Charge)

If you are out of rage, just Autohit, just ensure you can pull off your next MS

Macroing FR with Harmstring makes no sense. You will get ragestarved a lot if u do this. Use Harmstring when u have 3 Stacks of FR up and still to much rage to dump while spammen slams.

It's important that you spent as much rage as you can, so you pull out more spells(more dmg) and reset your CS/MS Cooldown but not so much rage that you can't use your next MS.

Arms is all about Ragemanagement.

Fury won't be viable until they change that +30% damage taken bullshit.

      War Within Alpha should be just around the corner! When do we expect the latest expansion testing to start?
      If you've been keeping an eye on the World of Warcraft 2024 roadmap, you're likely excited about what's coming up! According to the roadmap, the War Within Alpha is expected to kick off sometime after Patch 10.2.6, which was released two weeks ago, and before the beginning of Season 4.

      Typically, a season lasts 22 weeks. Right now, we're in the 20th week of Season 3, with just about two weeks left. Let's break down the hypothetical timeline:
      Season 3 Week 20: Week of March 26 Season 3 Week 21: Week of April 2 Season 3 Week 22: Week of April 9 Season 4 Week 1: Week of April 15 This schedule suggests that the War Within Alpha could potentially launch as early as next week or during the week of April 9.
      The most recent news from the War Within camp came on March 27, when Blizzard rolled out a fresh encrypted internal build on the WoW Dev CDN. The internal builds are becoming more and more frequent which indicates Blizzard's ramping up to start testing in the very near future.
      Placeholder for tweet 1772901807448052151 In the meantime, we encourage you to check out everything coming in the War Within pre-patch that will release 1 month before the actual expansion.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
